AJ and Johnny sit down with Daniel Coyle, bestselling author and culture researcher, to explore what it actually means to flourish — and why flourishing is never a solo pursuit. Drawing from his research into thriving communities around the world, Daniel explains why growth, meaning, and fulfillment emerge from connection, friction, and shared purpose rather than individual achievement. They unpack how modern life fragments attention, why efficiency and isolation undermine belonging, and how small, human-scale practices — from rituals to shared meals to “yellow door” moments — can reawaken connection. This conversation reframes success away from optimization and toward aliveness, showing how community, presence, and intentional messiness create lives and workplaces that truly thrive.

You've probably heard of something called AI. It seems everyone is talking about it. The question is: how will this affect our productivity, and what can we do to ensure we are ready for the likely changes this year?  That's what I'm answering this week.  Links: Email Me | Twitter | Fac ebook | Website | Linkedin   Take the Time Sector System Course  Get Your Copy Of Your Time, Your Way: Time Well Managed, Life Well Lived The Working With… Weekly Newsletter Carl Pullein Learning Centre Carl's YouTube Channel Carl Pullein Coaching Programmes Subscribe to my Substack  The Working With… Podcast Previous episodes page Script | 402 Hello, and welcome to episode 402 of the Your Time, Your Way Podcast. A podcast to answer all your questions about productivity, time management, self-development, and goal planning. My name is Carl Pullein, and I am your host of this show.  Unless you've had the fortune to avoid seeing the news over the last few years, you may have come across something called AI. It seems to be everywhere today.  Just yesterday, I got a big update to Evernote, and it was all about AI. Todoist, my task manager of choice, is also on board with AI with their dictation tool called “Ramble”.  All great tools, all giving us the potential to collect and organise more.  I use AI a lot myself. It helps me brainstorm ideas, create subtitles for my YouTube videos, and write the video descriptions, which I hated doing myself.  And it is a phenomenal research tool. I can import my analytics from my blog, this podcast or my YouTube videos and ask it to tell me what is resonating with my community. Then that helps me to decide what the next best content will be.  Yet, with all this, there are some downsides. One of which is that I noticed last year that many of my coaching clients were seeing an increase in the number of tasks they had in their task managers.  It wasn't until recently that I realised where many of these tasks were coming from.  Many companies are rolling out AI-supported meeting summaries. AI is particularly good at this. It listens in to the meeting and, at the end, produces a summary of what was discussed and a list of action steps to be taken following the meeting. Some of the more sophisticated versions of this will break down by who is responsible for which task.  Superb! Or is it? What I've discovered is that AI is like that annoying new recruit who wants to impress by doing far more work than is necessary. It will turn a 10-bullet-pointed summary into a 20-page report, only for the recipient to return it to a bullet-pointed summary.  It reminds me of that wonderful quote from Winston Churchill: “This report, by its very length, defends itself against the risk of being read.” Yet, from a productivity perspective, what AI is doing is creating a lot of tasks. So much so that it has now been given its own term: “AI-generated work bloat”, or a less friendly version: “AI-generated Work slop”. So, what can we do to “defend” ourselves from this AI-generated work bloat? Well, there are a few things we can do that will allow us to take advantage of AI's incredible abilities, yet still keep our workloads within limits without it slowly becoming overwhelmed with a lot of “work slop”. That nicely brings me on to this week's question, and that means it's time to hand you over to the Mystery Podcast Voice for this week's question: This week's question comes from Robert. Robert asks, Hi Carl, I haven't heard you talk much about AI. Do you have any thoughts on how to get the most out of the new AI tools without them becoming overwhelming? Hi Robert, thank you for your question.  AI is certainly causing some issues in the time management and productivity space. Yet, it is also helping many people to get better organised.  It is like all new technology. There is an initial period in which we try everything to determine where the new technology can help us most. I remember when email became a thing. There was a lot of nervousness about it initially.  I was working in a law firm at the time, and the legal profession in the UK was reluctant to adopt email, even though its benefits over snail mail were obvious. There were fears over privacy and client confidentiality. Eventually, we adopted it, and when we did, it rapidly became an instant messaging portal. Clients who sent an email began expecting an instant reply and quickly called us if they did not receive one within a few minutes.  Fortunately, we had not at that stage entered the smartphone era and were able to explain to clients that when we were out of the office, we were unable to check our emails.  However, email became the new way of communicating, and it soon created a cascade of stuff for us to process and organise, eating up more valuable time—time we didn't have then, let alone today.  I see the same thing happening with AI today. We are trying to adopt AI in so many ways. Some will stick, others will fall by the wayside in time.  It doesn't mean we should reject these new ways immediately. We are in the experimentation stage. It's the fun stage. Testing new ideas, playing with tools and seeing what works for us and what doesn't.  However, some fundamentals remain in play.  The first, and the one that will never go away, is that we only have twenty-four hours a day. We are human. We need to sleep, eat and bathe. All of which takes time out of those 24 hours.  The second is that we can only focus on one thing at a time. We have the freedom to choose what we focus on, but we can only focus on one thing.  So the question is, what will you focus on and when?  We may not be able to stop all this AI-generated work, but we can choose when to work on it. This is where categorising your work helps you choose the right things to work on.  For example, pretty much all of us will have to deal with communications, and it's a great example.  What happens if you don't respond to your emails and messages for a day? Perhaps you're travelling, or are caught up in meetings. That's right, you create a backlog.  The problem with emails and messages is that they never stop coming in, and unless you have a process and time to deal with them, you will miss deadlines and opportunities, and probably upset a lot of people. There are consequences for ignoring your messages.  The solution is to set aside time each day to deal with them. How much time will depend on how much time you have and perhaps the volume of messages that require your attention.  If all you have is twenty minutes between some meetings, take it. You're not going to get much else done. So take advantage of those twenty minutes and clear some of those messages. You may not be able to clear them all, but one is always greater than zero.  If the AI tools you use include suggestions for responses, take advantage of them for the shorter replies.  But, be careful of the longer replies that require your knowledgeable input. AI can respond to some of these, but its responses often sound a little inhuman or, worse, give the wrong information.  Always check the AI-generated responses.  AI can also organise your calendar for you. Personally, I've not had much luck with this, as it doesn't have enough variable information about me to be accurate. What I find AI does is look at what I like to do at certain times of the day and suggests I do that every day, and then fills in everything else around that.  The last time I played with this AI, it recommended I get up at 6:00 am and do my workout. Pu ha ha! I am not going to get up at 6:00 to do any exercise. I hate exercising in the morning.  To get my AI calendar to be reasonably useful, I had to spend far too much time telling it what I wanted, and I realised in the end the fastest way was for me to do it manually.  Going back to the categorisation of your work, if you categorise it by the types of work you do, you can then match your calendar to your categories.  For instance, if you were a doctor, seeing patients would largely take up most of your workday. But you will also need time to complete your prescriptions, update patient notes, respond to messages, deal with any health insurance claims, and so on.  If you don't want to be working late into the night, you will need to be disciplined with your calendar and protect time for the admin and communication tasks.  If you find AI is recommending a lot of tasks for you, from, say, meeting summaries, I recommend you first audit the list, then allocate a category to the work suggested.  Why audit the list?  Well, as I mentioned, AI is like that new recruit trying impress the boss by suggesting more work than is necessary. It will create a lot of tasks.  Your experience will tell you that a lot of those tasks will not need to be done. It's these that need to be removed.  I recently did an experiment. I asked Google's Gemini to give me a list of tasks, spread over four weeks, to start a blog.  This prompt resulted in 29 tasks! And the task of actually writing a first draft was not suggested until the start of week four.  While many of the tasks listed, such as choosing a domain to host the blog and your niche, do need to be done, in the real world, most people who want to start a blog will already know this. It's part of the thought processes that lead to deciding to start a blog. When I audited the list, I reduced it from 29 tasks down to 12. I also found I needed to move some tasks around because they weren't in a logical sequence.  I'm sure over time, AI will get better at this, but always remember that your experience about doing your job will still be better at predicting what needs to be done than AI will.  If you're using the Time Sector System, you will find that your processing naturally fits with AI's method of breaking tasks down into when you “should” be doing them.  My blog experiment allowed me, once I'd audited the list, to quickly move the tasks into the correct sector. Tasks that should be done in the first week were moved to my This Week folder; those for the second week were moved to my Next Week folder; and everything else was moved to my This Month folder.  One of the benefits of using the Time Sector System with AI-generated tasks is that as you are simultaneously deciding when you will do the tasks. You retain the all-important human agency, deciding what is done and when.  But there's one more benefit of the Time Sector System that will help you. That is your weekly limit.  If you have taken the course, you may remember the lesson on capping your weekly tasks to your known limit.  This is where you find the maximum number of tasks you can realistically do in any one week. This number does not include your routines or other recurring low-value tasks. Just the important ones. But we all have a limit.  For me, that number is thirty. If my This Week folder is higher than 30 at the start of the week, I know I am going to struggle to complete my tasks that week. I either need to go back into my This Week folder and remove some of the less urgent tasks or cancel some of my meetings.  This teaches you the vital skills of auditing and prioritisation. Skills you will need in the AI world. It is what will separate us from the AI tools being used.  However, one good thing about AI-generated meeting summaries is that you have a record of the meeting that can be placed inside your meeting notes for projects and teams without any editing.  The workflow I use with these is to use Todoist's brilliant copy/paste feature. Here you can copy a list of tasks and paste them all into your inbox in a single click.  However, if there are a lot of them, I create a temporary project folder for them first, and then, before I move the tasks to their rightful place, I audit the list. Remove tasks that are not relevant, or that I don't need to do, and then move them to the right time sector.  If you don't use Todoist, you can do this with the original meeting summary. Audit, remove and then move the tasks you need to do into the correct time sector.  (A quick heads-up, I have a YouTube video coming out next week that demonstrates this.) So there you go, Robert. It's still early days, and we are very much in the experimentation period with AI. We're testing ways to see how it can help us with our work. This is consequently creating a lot of tasks.  As long as you are auditing these tasks, following the principles of COD, and using the Time Sector System to manage your work, you will be fine. Things will remain manageable and exciting at the same time.  We don't know what the future holds, but your experience and skills will see you through, I can promise you.  Thank you, Robert, for your question. And if you haven't taken the Time Sector System course yet, the all-new edition is now available and can be taken in less than two hours. Look at taking that course as your antidote to the AI-generated work bloat we are all beginning to experience.  Thank you for listening, and it just remains for me now to wish you all a very, very productive week.

If you're a solopreneur wondering “Am I charging enough?” or feeling awkward about raising your prices, this episode is for you.In this episode, Carly Ries and Joe Rando tackle one of the most common questions solopreneurs ask: How should I price my services or products? They unpack why pricing isn't about greed, it's about fairness, value, and respecting the years of expertise you bring to the table.You'll hear why charging based only on time keeps you stuck, how underpricing attracts the wrong clients and leads to burnout, and why shifting toward value-based pricing can protect your energy while increasing your income. They also explore how niching down makes your work more valuable, why higher prices often signal greater credibility, and how your pricing can evolve as your business grows.If you struggle with imposter syndrome around pricing, worry you're “too expensive,” or feel unsure how to confidently quote your work, this episode will help you rethink pricing with clarity and confidence.Episode FAQsHow should a solopreneur price their services?Solopreneurs should price based on value delivered, not just time spent. Your pricing should reflect the problem you solve, the outcomes you create, and the years of expertise behind your work, not simply an hourly rate. Value-based pricing attracts better clients and supports sustainable income.Why do solopreneurs struggle with charging higher prices?Many solopreneurs undercharge because of imposter syndrome, fear of seeming greedy, or wanting to be “nice.” But underpricing often leads to burnout, difficult clients, and income ceilings. Confident pricing helps attract clients who respect your work and your time.Is niching down really necessary to raise your prices?Yes. Niching down makes your expertise clearer and more valuable. When you specialize in a specific audience or problem, clients perceive you as the go-to expert, which makes it much easier to justify higher pricing and attract better-fit opportunities.

In this podcast episode, Hope's Associate Pastors reflect on their congregation's Bible reading plan, having completed Genesis and started Exodus. They discuss how reading through Genesis reveals God's incredible mercy and patience with broken people, noting that the heroes of faith were "mildly screw ups" whom God used for great things. The conversation shifts to personal testimonies as Pastor Meyers shares his journey from physical therapy to ministry, describing how God's call became undeniable during a quiet moment in his clinic. The discussion centers around the "3C's" of discipleship that their church has been teaching: commitment to Christ, connection to His followers, and contribution to His mission. The pastors share how their upbringing in families that prioritized ministry and opened their homes to missionaries and church leaders shaped their understanding of faithful living. They emphasize that while not everyone is called to vocational ministry, the same three principles apply to all believers. The episode concludes with reflections on how genuine connection with other believers is essential for spiritual growth and victory over temptation, noting that simply attending church is different from being truly plugged in and connected to the community.

This week, John, Kailey, and Gay Chappy of Task Force 70 Foundation, explore how disconnects between civilians, law enforcement, and institutions have grown over time, how differences across states shape public perception, and why constitutional literacy matters more than ever.----------------------- Thanks to AAC Ammo & Palmetto State Armory for sponsoring our guest gear!Special thanks to our sponsor for supporting this season!

Most workouts fail not because people are lazy, but because effort is misused. Amy Hudson and Dr. James Fisher continue the series on the principles of exercise design. In this episode, they cover concentrated cardio and why short, high-effort intervals create bigger physiological changes than long, steady workouts. Tune in to hear how brief bursts of intensity improve cardiovascular fitness, raise metabolic rate, enhance insulin sensitivity, increase muscle blood flow, and make everyday tasks feel easier, all while taking far less time than traditional cardio. Amy and Dr. Fisher discuss concentrated cardio and why it matters. You will learn exactly what concentrated cardio is, what it looks like in real training, and why it pairs so well with strength work. Dr. Fisher reveals the defining feature that separates concentrated cardio from other workouts. These are brief intervals above seventy five percent of maximal power or very close to all-out effort. The recovery periods are just as important because they allow you to hit that high level again. Why steady state cardio feels different from concentrated cardio. One approach keeps the same effort the whole time, while the other alternates between hard sprints and slowing down.  Dr. Fisher covers why the benefits of concentrated cardio go far beyond just getting tired. Your VO2 max improves, your resting metabolic rate increases, and insulin sensitivity gets better. This means better oxygen use, more calories burned at rest, and real support for metabolic health. Amy shares why working with a personal trainer can change how you approach concentrated cardio. A good personal trainer helps you find the right intensity without guessing or overdoing it. That guidance builds confidence, keeps you safe, and makes every hard effort count. Learn how everyday life starts to feel easier when you train this way. Tasks like running up a short flight of stairs stop feeling overwhelming. You raise the ceiling of what your body believes is hard work by briefly pushing into discomfort on purpose. Dr. Fisher reveals how concentrated cardio disrupts homeostasis. A single thirty-second sprint can cut intramuscular ATP levels by about half. That level of energy depletion simply does not happen with other forms of exercise. Dr. Fisher reveals a surprising effect on blood flow after concentrated cardio. Blood flow to muscles can be up to one hundred times higher than at rest or after traditional exercise. This sets the stage for faster recovery and bigger physiological change. Learn why more blood flow to muscle tissue is important. It helps clear metabolic byproducts while delivering antioxidants and nutrients that drive adaptation. Over time, this improves capillarization and makes oxygen transfer into muscles more efficient. Dr. Fisher covers the difference between aerobic and anaerobic effort. When you stay aerobic, your body does only what it needs to get through the task. That bare minimum response limits how much progress you can make. With anaerobic exercises, short bursts of very high effort create stress your body must adapt to. You cannot hold that intensity for long, which is exactly why it works. Dr. Fisher reveals how muscle fiber recruitment changes with different workouts. Long steady runs mostly use type one fibers. Short, intense intervals recruit type two fibers, which are the ones you want to preserve as you age. Amy and Dr. Fisher cover the practical rule that simplifies training decisions. You can work long, or you can work hard, but not both. Twenty seconds of true effort creates more adaptation than a full minute of easier work. Dr. Fisher talks about common fears about working at high intensity. Research shows this approach can be safe and effective even for people with conditions like diabetes, heart failure, and coronary artery disease. With proper guidance and personal training, intensity is not something to fear. Learn why tracking heart rate can be a useful feedback tool when training. It helps you understand effort and recovery rather than guessing. Used correctly, it builds confidence instead of anxiety. Dr. Fisher reveals a simple sign that your fitness is improving. If your heart rate drops quickly after exercise, that is a strong indicator of better conditioning. Recovery speed often matters more than peak numbers.     Mentioned in This Episode: The Exercise Coach - Get 2 Free Sessions!

If you're a solopreneur struggling with burnout, undercharging, or wondering how to build real income without sacrificing your energy, this episode is for you.Carly Ries and Joe Rando sit down with seven-figure solopreneur and writer Amy Suto to talk about what actually drives sustainable success as a one-person business owner. Amy shares why energy management matters more than time management, how she transitioned from Hollywood screenwriting to building multiple income streams, and what finally allowed her to charge premium rates with confidence.You'll learn how to validate a side hustle before quitting your job, how positioning and portfolio matter more than credentials, why Substack is emerging as a powerful revenue stream for creators, and how to structure your content so clients can find you through Google and AI tools like ChatGPT. This conversation is packed with practical insights on pricing, identity shifts, inbound marketing, SEO, audience-building, and long-term business thinking for solopreneurs who want income and autonomy.Episode FAQsHow can solopreneurs avoid burnout when they're responsible for everything?Burnout often comes from mismanaging energy, not just time. Amy recommends doing regular energy audits to identify which clients, projects, and tasks energize you versus drain you. Solopreneurs who build their workload around high-energy activities tend to stay consistent longer, make better decisions, and grow more sustainably.How can a solopreneur use Substack to build both community and income?Substack is a platform for free and paid newsletters that allows solopreneurs to grow an audience and monetize their ideas without upfront costs. Amy shared that Substack works well because:You can start for free and only pay a percentage once you earnIt supports organic discovery through Substack NotesIt allows creators to test ideas, build trust, and validate what people will pay forIt can become a long-term asset, not just another content channelHer key advice: be clear on who you serve, what pain point you solve, and what content belongs free versus behind the paywall.Why do so many solopreneurs undercharge, and how can they fix it?Amy emphasized that undercharging usually stems from an identity issue, not a strategy issue. Solopreneurs often struggle to see their work as valuable because they've been conditioned to believe legitimacy only comes from corporations or credentials. Her advice:Adopt the identity of a professional before you “feel ready”Price for the value you deliver, not just time spentIncrease rates gradually as experience growsRecognize that your energy, expertise, and problem-solving are premium assets

Hilchey discusses his book The Six and a Half Habits of Highly Defective Bosses, a guide that uncovers the challenges leaders face when transitioning from high performing individual contributors to effective team managers. Joel highlights the importance of managing both tasks and people. He explains that great leaders must balance short term project priorities with long term strategy, while also attending to immediate team dynamics and the larger arc of each team member's career development. Through personal stories, including one involving a former assistant, Joel illustrates how managers can better understand the aspirations of their teams and create meaningful support structures. Transforming a Toxic Healthcare Work Environment Michael shares a powerful real world example from his leadership journey in healthcare. He describes stepping into a clinic plagued with an 86 percent annual turnover rate and transforming it into a stable environment with only six percent turnover within a year. His approach included listening closely to the team, removing unnecessary obstacles, and making small but consistent improvements. Joel points out that this reflects research showing employees most often leave because of their relationship with management, not their peers. He emphasizes the concept of “de hassling” employees as a critical leadership practice that empowers people to do their best work. Lean Principles vs. Real Worker Efficiency Michael also reflects on Lean methodologies through a humorous and insightful hospital anecdote. A seasoned nurse, repeatedly told to move her equipment cart, finally threatened to use her access to needles if the relocation happened again. The directive immediately stopped. This moment illustrates that while Lean principles aim to streamline systems, leaders must recognize times when established worker routines already support peak efficiency. Forcing change without understanding context can undermine performance rather than improve it. Leadership Principles for High Performing Teams In their discussion of leadership essentials, Hilchey and Michael emphasize the importance of nurturing high performers instead of burning them out or discouraging them. They highlight the role of managers in understanding what their teams need to excel and the power of frequent, authentic recognition. Joel shares insights from The Six and a Half Habits of Highly Defective Bosses, urging leaders to take responsibility when mistakes occur, focus on solutions rather than blame, and cultivate environments where people can thrive. These principles, he explains, are foundational for building motivated and resilient teams. https://JoelHilchey.com  

In Episode 10, Kim opens Season Two by breaking down procrastination in a way most people have never heard it explained before. This episode isn't about productivity, discipline, or time management. It's about emotional risk, fragile self-esteem, and the identities we built in childhood to survive. Kim explains why procrastination shows up around the things that matter most. Big conversations. Creative work. Boundaries. Healing. Growth. And why avoidance isn't laziness. It's protection. Drawing from attachment theory, trauma, neurobiology, and her own lived experience, Kim connects procrastination to emotional attunement, identity, shutdown, people-pleasing, catastrophizing, and the fear of inner collapse. She also explains why insight alone doesn't change behavior, and what actually has to shift for real movement to happen. –––––––––––––––––– Time Stamps & Topics 00:00 – Rage, triggers, and decades of stored emotional memory 00:25 – Why feeling misunderstood cuts so deeply 00:52 – Procrastination isn't about time management 01:22 – Emotional risk vs practical difficulty 01:50 – Personal example: writing a first book 02:29 – Procrastination around hard conversations 03:01 – Mistakes, shame, and fragile self-esteem 03:59 – Inner collapse and identity threat 05:04 – Why systems learn to avoid emotional danger 05:28 – What self-esteem actually is (and isn't) 05:51 – Self-esteem as emotional resilience 06:25 – Emotional attunement explained 06:44 – Empathy vs shared experience 07:37 – Why "they'll never understand me" isn't true 08:10 – Childhood emotional neglect and minimization 09:14 – Avoidant coping and jumping to solutions 09:57 – Why being sat with matters 10:27 – Religion, conflict avoidance, and emotional bypassing 11:30 – Biology of trauma and implicit memory 12:33 – Adoption, abandonment, and cognitive bias 13:46 – Anger as a lifelong trigger 14:52 – Suppression vs expression of emotion 15:41 – Coping mechanisms and shutdown 16:24 – Anxious vs avoidant responses in conflict 17:09 – Self-esteem and "what happens when something goes wrong" 18:28 – Catastrophizing and control 19:13 – Why anxiety feels protective 20:00 – Avoidance as nervous system safety 21:25 – Silence, minimization, and relational procrastination 23:14 – Childhood roles: good child, peacemaker, achiever 24:38 – Survival strategies vs self-esteem 25:27 – Relational procrastination and suppressed anger 26:25 – Waiting until you're angry to speak 27:08 – Walking on eggshells and staying silent 28:02 – Triggers as accumulated implicit memory 29:12 – Why your partner isn't the whole cause 30:07 – Shutdown as self-protection, not punishment 31:05 – Why insight doesn't change behavior 31:56 – Awareness without emotional capacity 32:23 – Cognitive vs behavioral change 33:11 – Reframing hard conversations 33:56 – Procrastination in personal growth and healing 35:02 – Childhood identities and family roles 36:16 – How family freezes you in old identities 37:35 – Why growth feels threatening 38:05 – Holding competing emotions about parents 39:22 – Letting go of old identities 40:05 – Why growth feels risky, not empowering 41:18 – What actually reduces procrastination 41:46 – Emotional regulation and self-trust 42:09 – Questions to ask yourself about avoidance 43:16 – Tasks that carry emotional weight 43:44 – Identity disruption and behavior change 44:31 – Alcohol, belonging, and identity shifts 44:58 – Pay attention to what you avoid 45:26 – What avoidance is protecting –––––––––––––––––– This episode is especially relevant if you feel stuck despite insight, avoid hard conversations, or keep postponing the things that matter most to you.

Why Your Plans Keep Failing — And What to Do Instead Every January, we're told to plan bigger, try harder, and finally "get our shit together." By February, most people already feel behind. In this episode of The Confidence Project, Christina breaks down why planning fails even when you're motivated — and how to plan your year in a way that actually works in real life. This isn't about finding the perfect planner or forcing more discipline. It's about building plans that respect your energy, capacity, and season of life — without burning you out or setting you up for shame. If planning has ever made you feel overwhelmed, behind, or like you're doing it "wrong," this episode will change how you think about it. In This Episode, We Cover: Why most people plan for an imaginary version of themselves The real reason motivation doesn't save bad plans How to plan around capacity instead of willpower The difference between projects vs. systems (and why this matters for your sanity) Why planning brings up control, anxiety, and emotional resistance How to build a task bank that clears mental clutter The exact order I use to plan my year, month, and days How to plan without betraying yourself when life doesn't go as expected Key Takeaways: Planning fails when it's disconnected from reality If something never ends, it needs a system, not a goal Motivation won't fix a plan that ignores your energy Smarter planning works backwards from your real life — not your aspirations You don't need a better planner; you need a plan that fits your life Mentioned in This Episode: Project vs. system planning Task banks (why your to-do list isn't the problem) Seasonal and capacity-aware planning Who This Episode Is For: Women who feel busy but still behind Fitness professionals juggling clients, content, and real life Business owners who are tired of planning that doesn't translate into action Anyone navigating a season of limited energy (hello, motherhood) People who want structure without rigidity Ready to Plan Differently? If planning has felt frustrating, overwhelming, or pointless in the past — it's not because you're bad at it. It's because you were never taught how to plan with reality instead of against it.

Real estate can feel like a 24/7 industry — and when you add multiple businesses, a team, family, sports schedules, and real life on top of it, it's no wonder so many women feel like they're constantly behind. In this episode, I'm walking you through my exact time and task management system — the rhythms, routines, and tools I use to keep multiple businesses, a team, a podcast, a community, and family life running without burning out.   We'll talk about: Why having start and stop times (most days) actually makes you more productive. How I use boundaries and theme days to stay focused. The difference between time blocking and rhythms — and why rhythms work better for my real estate life. My weekly planning session + brain dump, how I use my paper planner alongside digital calendars, and why I subscribe to sports and event calendars instead of entering everything manually. How I manage daily tasks so my list is realistic, not a guilt trip — plus the "big project list" I keep visible when there's a lot happening.   If you've been craving more ease, structure, and peace in your days — without pretending real estate is a 9–5 — this behind-the-scenes episode will give you practical ideas you can start using right away.   Click subscribe to be notified every Wednesday when our latest episode is released, and be sure to check out our group on Facebook. https://www.facebook.com/groups/empoweringwomeninrealestate We are 40,000 members strong and we want you to join us!

What if building a business that supports your life actually isn't about hustle…but about resilience, systems, and intention?In this episode of The Aspiring Solopreneur, Carly and Joe sit down with Mike Lynch, creator, RV-lifer, automation strategist, and founder of Flywheel Factory, for a refreshingly honest conversation about what solopreneurship really looks like behind the scenes.Mike shares the truth most people won't say out loud: it's harder than you think, it takes longer than you expect, and the path rarely looks the way you planned. But it's also where creativity, freedom, and momentum can finally meet.You'll hear how Mike and his family design RV travel around work (not the other way around), how he uses AI and automation to protect his creative energy instead of replacing it, and why building a “flywheel mindset” matters more than just staying busy.This is a grounded, practical, and motivating episode for solopreneurs who want to build smarter systems, reclaim their time, and design a business that truly supports their life.Episode FAQsHow can solopreneurs use AI and automation without losing their personal voice?Solopreneurs can use tools like Custom GPTs, content workflows, and automation platforms (like Make or Zapier) to streamline their work while still sounding like themselves. The key is starting with your own ideas and experiences first, then using AI to refine, organize, and scale your content, not replace your thinking. What's the best way for overwhelmed solopreneurs to get started with automation?The best place to start is identifying one repetitive, frustrating task in your business and breaking it into smaller steps. From there, tools like Custom GPTs or simple automations can help eliminate bottlenecks. How can solopreneurs design a business that supports their lifestyle instead of causing burnout?It starts with defining non-negotiables (family time, flexibility, travel, health) and then building systems around those priorities.

They say that 80% of success is just getting in the room.  Well, somehow I got myself into the room.  Early 2025 I was confirmed by the Hawaii State Legislature to serve as a board member for the Governor's Small Business Regulatory Review Board - this is a nerdy board that reviews rule changes for Hawaii small businesses.  Perfect for me, the biggest nerd in the State.  But then, Hawaii Governor Green wanted to improve the building permit status, especially with Hawaii being one of THE WORST places to obtain a building permit in the United States.  He produced legislation creating a Task Force to Streamline Permitting for Enhanced Economic Development (or SPEED).  One seat on that Task Force is for the nerdy board I'm on, and well, I'm on the Task Force.  Today, I'm giving you the 101 version of this board I am on and what this Permitting Task Force is all about.   Links: Hawaii  Small Business Regulatory Review Board  Task Force Legislation created by:  Act 133 (SLH 2025) and House Concurrent Resolution No. 157 Task Force Presentation from Chair Ilagan:  Task Force Orientation  Hawaii SPEED Task Force and committees

Hosts: Mark Cardone & Theron Feidt The Concept: Most people hit Monday head-on without a plan, leading to "Monday Blues" and reactive living. In this episode, Mark and Theron break down the Sunday Summit—a 15 to 20-minute process to audit your past week and strategically architect your next one so you can hit the ground running. The 3-Step Sunday Summit Action Plan: Step 1: The Rear-View Mirror Review (The Audit) Before moving forward, you must clear the deck of the previous week. Open Loop Sweep: Review unfinished tasks, emails, and to-do lists. If you haven't finished everything, don't sweat it—prioritize what carries over. Celebrate the Wins: Acknowledge your accomplishments, from difficult work tasks to meaningful time with family. The Delete Button: Be ruthless. If a task has been carried over for three weeks, ask yourself: "Am I actually going to do this?" If not, delete it. Step 2: The Big Three Anchor Theron emphasizes the power of threes. Instead of a 20-item list, focus on the Big Rocks. Identify Non-Negotiables: Choose three "must-do" items for the week that move the needle on your long-term goals. Schedule the Big Rocks First: Use the jar analogy—put your big rocks in the calendar before the "sand" (busy work) fills up your time. The Domino Effect: Identify which of your big three will make the others easier. Task buddies allow one action (like a walk with a spouse) to hit multiple goals (health, communication, and relationship building). Step 3: Friction Removal (Tactical Logistics) Logistics and tactics are where the rubber meets the road. Pre-Decide the Details: Lay out your gym clothes or pack your vehicle the night before. "Decision fatigue kills willpower." Don't waste morning energy on trivial choices. Calendar Conflict Check: Sync your digital and paper calendars. Account for travel time and recurring "habit" appointments that you might have overlooked. The Monday Launch Pad: Define your exact first move for Monday morning. Don't start your day reacting to email or "Wordle." Know exactly what task you are hammering out the moment you sit down. Core Wisdom from the Show "If learning isn't changing how you act, decide, or perform—you didn't actually learn it. Information changes nothing; applied information changes everything."

Anthropic just dropped Claude Cowork—essentially Claude Code for everyone, not just engineers—and we got to chat about it with a product engineer at Anthropic who helped build it.In this live Vibe Check, Dan Shipper and Kieran Klaassen explore the new interface together, testing what works (and what doesn't) in real time. Anthropic's Felix Rieseberg joins midway through to explain the philosophy behind Cowork's design: why it separates "Tasks" from "Chats," how the queue system lets you send messages while the agent is working, and what "agent-native" architecture means in practice. They also dig into Skills—Claude's prompt system that lets you customize how it works—and the Chrome connector for browser automation.This is a raw, unfiltered first look at what might be the future of how knowledge workers interact with AI: async workflows instead of turn-by-turn chat.If you found this episode interesting, please like, subscribe, comment, and share!Want even more?Check out Dan's guide to building agent-native applications: https://every.to/guides/agent-nativeTo hear more from Dan Shipper:Subscribe to Every: https://every.to/subscribeFollow him on X: https://twitter.com/danshipper00:01:00 - What is Claude Cowork00:02:36 - First demo: competitor analysis00:03:33 - Email drafting that sounds like me00:06:18 - Calendar audit running for an hour00:07:39 - Book taxonomy demo00:08:42 - PostHog analytics via Chrome browsing00:14:36 - Chat vs Code vs Cowork: when to use what00:31:06 - Felix from Anthropic joins00:36:39 - Why they built it in a week and a half00:37:57 - Design decision: why a separate tab00:43:57 - Skills as the primary hackable surface00:49:36 - Agent-native architecture principles00:56:57 - The origin story of skills at Anthropic01:03:00 - Our final rating

Ready for leadership you can actually use on a busy Tuesday? We sat down with Lieutenant Kyle from Wentzville, Missouri to unpack conflict resolution, trust-building, and communication habits that turn stressful moments into steady results. Drawing from policing and the towing industry, we explore how relationships—not checklists—carry teams through change, and how small, consistent actions create a culture where people feel heard, prepared, and accountable.We break down conflict resolution as a proactive practice: give high performers a voice, set expectations in plain language, and use brief debriefs to convert chaos into learning. Trust becomes measurable when leaders align words and actions, close loops publicly, and build inclusive routines that invite input before decisions harden. If you've ever rolled out a change and watched it stall, you'll get a simple framework for communicating the why, setting 30-60-90 milestones, and shipping quick wins that show progress without burning people out.This conversation also zooms out to personal growth. We talk about writing a one-page vision, choosing three skills to build, and running a weekly review that keeps motivation alive after the kickoff fades. Whether you manage a tow fleet, run a shop, or lead a small business with a handful of trucks, these tools translate to the field, the office, and home. And if you're ready to go deeper, we share details on the Trailblazer Leadership Retreat in Cape Coral—two focused days on communication, change leadership, and building high-performing teams with experts from law enforcement, private sector, and nonprofit leadership.Subscribe to the show, share this episode with a teammate, and tell us the one leadership skill you'll build first this year.

Even if ChatGPT never existed, the tech giant NVIDIA would still be winning. The end of Moore's Law—says NVIDIA President, Founder, and CEO Jensen Huang—makes the shift to accelerated computing inevitable, regardless of any talk of an AI “bubble.” Sarah Guo and Elad Gil are joined by Jensen Huang for a wide-ranging discussion on the state of artificial intelligence as we begin 2026. Jensen reflects on the biggest surprises of 2025, including the rapid improvements in reasoning, as well as the profitability of inference tokens. He also talks about why AI will increase productivity without necessarily taking away jobs, and how physical AI and robotics can help to solve labor shortages. Finally, Jensen shares his 2026 outlook, including why he's optimistic about US-China relations, why open source remains essential for keeping the US competitive, and which sectors are due for their “ChatGPT moment.”  Sign up for new podcasts every week.

What if your lack of progress has nothing to do with effort and everything to do with focus?In this episode, Kevin and Alan challenge how most people think about productivity, progress, and focus. They break down why tactics alone rarely move the needle and why clarity, self-awareness, and pattern recognition matter more than effort. This conversation is for anyone who feels busy but stagnant, disciplined but misdirected, or consistent without seeing proportional results. It reframes how to identify what actually drives outcomes in business, health, and relationships, and why fewer, better decisions compound faster over time.If you are ready to stop confusing motion with progress and start aligning your time with what truly works, listen closely.

Trump is bringing down the cost of energy and implementing new energy sources. Electricity increased because of the the green new scam. Trump is now going after the Federal Reserve for gross incompetence, this will lead to exposing the Fed’s criminal activity. The [DS] infiltrated Congress going all the way back to 1929, the continued to present day. They made it so they have the ability to control those people they install. There are no term limits, this allows these people to stay in their positions for a very longtime. Trump is now setting the stage to return the power back to the people. This is much bigger than a few arrests. Economy Average Electricity Rates by State, What Do You Pay?  Hawaii and California have the highest rates. Idaho the lowest.

This would allow Trump’s side to subpoena Fed documents, emails, financial records, and testimony related to the renovations. This could effectively let them “look into” specific aspects of what the Fed has been doing, such as budgeting, contracting, and project management for the HQ overhaul. Discovery rules under the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure are broad, potentially uncovering internal Fed communications or decisions tied to the alleged incompetence.    Trump could request a GAO investigation into the HQ project overruns. Political/Rights Longtime Democrat George Clooney and His Family Ditch America, Move to France, and Secure French Citizenship Hollywood elitist and longtime Democrat activist George Clooney has officially joined the growing list of wealthy, left-wing celebrities who preach “American values” while quietly distancing themselves from the United States. Clooney, along with his wife, Amal Alamuddin Clooney, and their two children, has reportedly obtained French citizenship through a naturalization decree. The couple's 8-year-old twins, Ella and Alexander, were included in the process.  Clooney went on to explain that he feared raising his children in Los Angeles. “I was worried about raising our kids in L. A., in the culture of Hollywood. I felt like they were never going to get a fair shake at life. France—they kind of don't give a shit about fame. I don't want them to be walking around worried about paparazzi. I don't want them being compared to somebody else's famous kids.” Source: thegatewaypundit.com https://twitter.com/RichardGrenell/status/2005844962769064196?s=20 beliefs.

Hale's parents suggested this two years ago and this report appears to confirm that. The Tennessee Star reports: Latest FBI Release of Covenant School Manifesto Files Appears to Confirm Trans-Identified Killer Bought Guns with Pell Grant Money The FBI on Monday released another 230 manifesto pages written by Audrey Elizabeth Hale, the biological female who identified as a transgender man on March 27, 2023, when the 28-year-old killed six at the Covenant School in Nashville, the Christian elementary school she once attended. This latest journal appears to have been written sometime in late 2021, and includes lengthy sections about the weapons the killer planned to use to commit a mass shooting at a school sometime that year. Following multiple pages full of weapons to purchase, the journal includes a page labeled “Account Savings Record,” which appears to reference the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). It also records multiple payments received from Nossi during the period when Hale attended the Nossi College of Art and Design in Nashville. “FASFA [sic] grant checks started at $2,050.86,” wrote Hale at the top of the entry. The page then lists a series of apparent ledger entries, starting with, “$2,656.87 (x3 checks from Nossi).” The next ledger entry states, “+$530.00 (x1 check Nossi) ($3,186.87).” This reference to Hale's federal student aid, located in the writings next to her entries about guns she considered buying, appears to corroborate the claims made by her parents to Metro Nashville Police Department (MNPD) detectives in 2023, when they told law enforcement their child purchased the firearms using federal Pell Grant money.  Source: thegatewaypundit.com https://twitter.com/Noahpinion/status/2005425950306263265?s=20 War/Peace https://twitter.com/disclosetv/status/2005747398614847766?s=20 https://twitter.com/WhiteHouse/status/2005757621278761205?s=20 Trump clarifies that if Hamas do not disarm like they promised, that any number of the 59 countries who signed onto the peace deal, will completely wipe out Hamas.  Protests Erupt Across Iran As Angry People Flood Streets  The mullahs have ruled in Iran since 1979. So you had millions that went to helping to prop up the terrorist state. But the Iranians are a persistent people, it would appear, especially when you hurt them in their wallets and make it challenging to survive. We’re at another one of those moments in history where hope has sparked again in the country, and people are in the streets, calling for change. Nationwide strikes and protests by merchants continued across Iran, with shops shuttered in major commercial hubs including Tehran's Grand Bazaar, Lalehzar Street, Naser Khosrow and Istanbul Square. Demonstrators chanted anti-government slogans calling for the downfall of the ruling clerics and demanding the leadership step aside. Video circulating online showed protesters inside a major shopping complex in Tehran's Grand Bazaar chanting, “Have no fear, we are all together,” while hurling insults at security forces and calling them shameless. Source: redstate.com Crushed by inflation, soaring living costs, and a future stolen by the regime, Iranians are back in the streets to protest. In a chilling echo of Tiananmen's Tank Man, one man defiantly sits down before the riot police. Desperation has met courage. Funds have been cutoff to the Mullahs/DS. They will lose control in the end and the people will rise up and take back their country. Cyber attacks ‘tipping point' warning issued after Harrods and M&S targeted Cyber attacks surged into prominence in 2025, inflicting significant financial damage on major British businesses and exposing widespread vulnerabilities across the economy. High-profile targets included automotive giant Jaguar Land Rover, retail stalwart Marks & Spencer, and luxury department store Harrods, underscoring how firms of all sizes are susceptible to sophisticated digital threats. Andrew Bailey, governor of the Bank of England, articulated his belief that cyber attacks represent one of the most substantial threats to UK financial stability, stressing the “critically important” need for collaborative defence. He stated: “Cyber attacks are far from new, but 2025 has shown just how deeply cyber risk is intertwined with economic stability and business continuity.” Source:  uk.news.yahoo.com  President Trump Responds to the 91-Drone Attack on Putin's Residence in Novgorod region During an impromptu press availability beside Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, President Trump responded to a question about a drone attack against the personal residence of Russian President Vladimir Putin. President Trump noted that he was informed of the attack by President Putin during an early Monday phone call between the two leaders. Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has denied the accusation that Ukraine carried out this particular attack.  The attack took place while Zelenskyy was in Florida meeting with President Trump. U.S. media have said the attack on Putin may be a lie; however, with physical evidence from the defense operation, it is less likely Russia just made up the attack.  At this moment in the conflict, Putin doesn't need domestic propaganda. CONTEXT: British intelligence previously confirmed their participation in the successful Ukraine drone attack against long-range Russian bombers.  That operation, highly controversial at the time, was previously confirmed by President Trump saying the U.S. was not informed in advance. The “coalition of the willing” has also expanded.  Outside the Ukraine regime, the current group making up the “coalition of the willing” includes: the U.K, France, Germany, Canada and Australia.  It is worth noting the additions are all part of the British commonwealth (U.K, Canada, Australia).   I suspect the British did it Source: theconservativetreehouse.com https://twitter.com/KobeissiLetter/status/2005810672672624746?s=20   and utilities have materially underperformed the broader market over the last few years. This has been fueled by the outsized gains in the US technology sector. A similar pattern occurred during the 1990s, while the opposite took place during the 2008 Financial Crisis, when global defensive stocks outperformed. Defensive sectors are lagging. Medical/False Flags [DS] Agenda Soros family reportedly donated more than $71,000 to Letitia James campaigns Leftist billionaire George Soros and members of his family have donated more than $71,000 to political campaigns supporting New York Democratic Attorney General Letitia James since 2019, according to a report published Sunday by the New York Post. The report, citing campaign finance records, said the total includes $31,000 contributed toward James' 2026 reelection bid. Soros personally donated $18,000 in July 2024, while his daughter-in-law, Jennifer Soros, contributed $13,000 in May. With earlier donations included, Soros and his family have provided James with roughly $40,000 more since 2019, the Post reported. The figure does not include the indirect support James has received through left-leaning organizations backed by Soros. The report said Soros' Open Society Foundations have given more than $865,000 to the New York branch of the Working Families Party since 2018.

I wanted to share some info with you that you might find interesting. I was trained by U.S. Military people off the books starting in college. I have been on projects since that time in Eastern Europe, North America, the Middle East, and Africa. All in the line of duty what I thought was right and in the best interest of the United States. Recently I was approached about a project that Tim Walz wanted done, and Keith [unclear] was also aware of the project. Tim wanted me to kill Amy Klobuchar and Tina [unclear]. Tim wants to be a senator and he doesn't trust [unclear] to retire as planned and this is meant to stay in the last mile with Amy & [unclear] gone. Tim would get one of the open senate seats, and [unclear] was to be VP, and Keith Ellison would be rewarded with a lucrative governing position. I told Tim I wanted nothing to do with it and that I didn't call off that plan I would go public. He said he would call it off himself if I didn't play ball. Then he set up a meeting with me and [unclear] and [unclear] to take care of me when I refused. They had some people waiting to kill me. I was able to get away by God's mercy. So I went back a short time later and shot back at [unclear]. You should notice how I didn't fire me rounds at any police officers and by God I have plenty of opportunity. Ask for the report on how many weapons and ammunition I had with me. Cops were pulling up right next to me in unmarked vehicles and I had an AK pistol across my lap. And I could have left a pile of cops dead but I did not. Short burst towards law enforcement. You can ask them. Because I snapped the police and chose not to see them hurt. But it may end up my wife and kids next time. I won't give them a pass. If you think I'm making this up just get on the phone and tell Tim you have a few questions for him. Then ask Tim Walz if he knows me and see what he says? If he says he doesn't know me, or never met me, look in the files and you will see that Tim personally approved me to be on his Governor's workforce. Bridges are the business representatives. He is probably trying to destroy that note but it is public record. Then ask Tim Walz why they kept the shots silent from the media when they first happened. Not a word in the press and I. Why? They needed to get their stories figured out. So everyone was on the same page about what happened. Tim is probably crapping bricks right now because I'm still at large and he knows what I can disclose and that I know about all the buried skeletons are. So I will be shot on sight you can bet on that. If you want me to turn myself in it need to be directly to you and then I need to be held at a military prison or in the Middle East, or at least on a ship. These guys have military backgrounds and can get to anybody. I am willing to spill all the beans. I just want my family safe. They had nothing to do with this and are totally innocent.

One voice per 700,000 people. The founders envisioned one per 30,000. That ratio was frozen in 1929, locked by the Permanent Apportionment Act, ensuring the number would remain manageable. Manageable for whom? One hundred senators. 535 total legislators controlling the direction of the largest economy in human history. You do not need to purchase a nation. You purchase 535 people. Or fewer. Buy the committee chairs. Fewer still. Buy the leadership. A few dozen individuals, properly leveraged through money or blackmail (it's actually both), steer everything.

That same year, the 17th Amendment removed state legislatures from Senate appointments, severing the balance between federal and state power. The intelligence apparatus emerged after World War II as a parallel government operating beyond electoral accountability. The administrative state metastasized into an unelected fourth branch writing rules with the force of law. Layer upon layer. Each generation inherits chains from contracts they never signed, bound by compromises made long before their birth. Yes, the Founding Fathers intended for the House of Representatives to expand as the population grew. The U.S. Constitution’s Article I, Section 2 established an initial apportionment ratio of no more than one representative per 30,000 inhabitants (with each state guaranteed at least one), implying that the total number would increase based on census results every ten years. the framers expected regular adjustments to maintain proportional representation as the nation expanded.  James Madison, in Federalist No. 58, directly addressed concerns that the House might not grow, arguing that the Constitution’s mechanisms—such as decennial reapportionments—would “augment the number of representatives” over time, and that political incentives (e.g., larger states pushing for increases) would ensure it happened.  This intent is further supported by the proposed (but unratified) Congressional Apportionment Amendment from the original Bill of Rights, which aimed to set a formula preventing the House from becoming too small relative to the population.  However, the House was permanently capped at 435 members by the Apportionment Act of 1929, diverging from this original vision. https://twitter.com/CynicalPublius/status/2005740095979069669?s=20   attempt instead chase smaller game, run interference, attack each other, send you down rabbit holes, and offer limited hangouts that lead nowhere. The silence is bipartisan. The silence is the tell. If your enemy acts and your ally does nothing despite holding every lever of power, you do not have two sides. WAIT… THERE'S MORE… https://twitter.com/WarClandestine/status/2005729994782466232?s=20   our walls, with Antifa and radical Islamic terrorist groups still at large, without Trump's people in position, without the public being informed of the treasonous conspiracy, without the wars around the globe being settled, without rogue Deep State elements like Iran's nuclear capabilities being shut down, all while the public are extremely emotionally charged after the election cycle and have been repeatedly brainwashed to believe that Trump is Hitler about to unleash a military dictatorship… There's levels to this shit. Many variables must be accounted for and many pieces must be in place before we can do something of this magnitude. But if you've been paying attention, you'd see that much of these things have already been taken care of over Trump's first year. I'm more optimistic than I've ever been, and frankly I don't understand how people don't see what Trump is doing. The price to pay for striking early, could result in mass civilian casualties, the entire operation will be ruined, the Republic will fall to the Deep State, and all of us will be tax/labor slaves forever. We can't afford to miss. Everything must be perfect, and Trump is putting the pieces into place to make it happen.
