Jesus again describes himself using a metaphor of living water, this time in the midst of a crowd who both views him in a variety of ways and is celebrating a festival with clear ties to his metaphor. All of this presents us with similar questions of how we view and relate to Jesus; do we want more of him?   Taught by Ryan Doucet.

Learn when umbrella insurance is worth buying and what a $483 bar tab can teach you about being an informed consumer. When does umbrella insurance actually make sense for your finances? What happens if a lawsuit leaves you on the hook for more than your home or auto policy could cover? Hosts Sean Pyles, CFP®, and Elizabeth Ayoola are joined by insurance nerd Caitlin Constantine to tackle a listener's question about umbrella coverage: what it actually is, how it layers on top of your existing home, auto, and renters policies, what umbrella insurance won't cover, and how to figure out whether your current assets and policy limits leave you exposed.  Then, Elizabeth shares money lessons she took away after she and a friend accidentally racked up a $483 bar tab, including handling financial mistakes with grace and the secret power of forgiving yourself.

Have you ever looked back at your childhood and wondered why certain emotions felt impossible to control? In this episode, I'm sharing a deeply personal story about the temper tantrums I experienced as a child, the struggles I later saw in my own daughter, and the life-changing connection I eventually discovered between breathing, sleep, and nervous system regulation.   We'll explore why so many behaviors we label as “misbehavior” may actually be signs of an overwhelmed and under-resourced body. I'll walk you through the surprising role mouth breathing plays in emotional regulation, why so many families unknowingly repeat the same patterns across generations, and how something as simple as learning to breathe through your nose can help you and your children find your way back to calm.   Nobody taught us how deeply breathing affects our emotions, sleep, and ability to regulate stress—but now we know better. This week, take a moment to slow down, notice your breath, and remember that meaningful change can start with something as simple as one intentional inhale.   If this episode resonated with you, please rate, follow, review, and share the podcast with someone who could benefit from this conversation. Your support helps us reach more families and spread awareness—one breath at a time.   Check out The Mind Mouth Body SHIFT Method -- https://shereewertz.com/academy   Book a consultation today: I am always here to help answer any question and schedule a 15 minute call with me.

Industry: UNPLUGGED Retreat Learn more hereYou built the thing. The salon, the clientele, the reputation. From the outside, you made it — and somewhere in the last few years, something got quiet. Not falling apart. Just… missing. You can't quite hear yourself anymore.Here's the thing nobody tells you about being the person everyone trusts to have it together: you hold so much. All day, every day. You stand behind the chair holding your clients' stories, their grief, their excitement, and you regulate the whole room. You're the calm one. The safe one. And then you go home so full of everyone else that you can't find yourself in there.That's not burnout from working too hard. That's exhaustion from consuming too much and listening to yourself too little. In this solo episode, Misty gets straight to the heart of it — the tiny gap between the should and the want that's been quietly wearing you down, and why the thing that helped you grow can become the thing that keeps you stuck.She also opens the doors to something she built because she couldn't find it anywhere else: the Industry Unplugged Retreat. A week in the jungles of Costa Rica with ten women in the hair industry who've been in the game for 10, 15, 20, 30+ years and are craving a real reset. Not a business retreat. Not a healing or spiritual retreat. Not a content trip. Think pre-internet vibes — space to take off the brand face, drop the self-induced pressure, and get quiet enough to hear yourself for the first time in who knows how long.In this episode:Why this kind of tired isn't burnout — and what it actually isThe gap between the “should” and the “want” that quietly drains youWhy it was never about the hair — it was always about the conversationsWhat it means to be in a room you're not leading or performing inWhat Industry Unplugged is (and very clearly, what it's not)How to tell if that voice in your gut saying “I need this” is worth listening tohairstylist burnout, personal development for hairstylists, hairstylist retreat, salon owner burnout, hairstylist mindset podcast, behind the chair mental health, Costa Rica retreat for hairstylists, hair industry community

Have you ever looked at a podcast that seemed to take off overnight and assumed it was luck?A few weeks ago, I launched a brand-new show that landed in the Top 30 charts in Canada within days. While the rankings were exciting, they weren't the biggest takeaway. What surprised me most was what happened after people started listening. And that experience reinforced some powerful lessons about podcasting for business that every entrepreneur should hear.One of the biggest misconceptions in podcast growth is that you need a massive audience to succeed. But what this launch reminded me is that niche doesn't mean small—it means specific. When your message is clear, your content becomes more memorable, creating deeper audience growth and stronger connection. That's one of the foundations of successful podcasting for business.Another lesson? Being discovered and being remembered are two very different things. Yes, podcast SEO, positioning, and launch strategy helped people find the show. But listeners shared it because they connected with the stories. The emotions felt familiar. The experiences felt relatable. That's where real podcast growth begins.You'll also hear why the most effective business growth strategy isn't chasing a single tactic. Sustainable podcast business growth happens when trust, visibility, and connection work together. Whether you're focused on podcast marketing for business, podcast monetization, or trying to grow podcast downloads, momentum comes from creating conversations people want to continue long after the episode ends.This conversation explores what it really takes to grow your podcast, why specificity creates stronger results than broad appeal, and how podcasting for business can become one of the most powerful tools for building authority, relationships, and long-term business growth.Because it's not about reaching everyone. It's about reaching the right people. And this is where podcasting for business becomes far more effective than most creators realize.If you've ever wondered how to create a podcast that people genuinely care about, this episode will give you a fresh perspective on what drives podcast download growth, audience loyalty, and meaningful business growth.Enjoyed this conversation?

Reaching 1,000 podcast episodes is one of those milestones that feels impossible when you're recording episode one. Yet here we are — one thousand conversations, one thousand opportunities to learn, one thousand chances to help someone become a little better than they were yesterday. When Rob started Building Better Developers nearly a decade ago, the goal wasn't to build a massive content platform or chase download numbers. It was simpler than that: help developers grow, build better careers, work more effectively, and never stop learning. The Power of Small Improvements One theme we've returned to again and again is that meaningful growth rarely comes from a single breakthrough. It comes from consistency — a better habit, a better conversation, a better question, a better decision. The same philosophy that helps developers improve their craft is what got us to 1,000 episodes. Not because we had a master plan. Not because we knew exactly where this would go. But because week after week, episode after episode, we showed up and shared what we were learning. The same way great software gets built: one iteration at a time. More Than Just a Podcast Over the years, Building Better Developers has grown into articles, videos, interviews, challenges, and a community of people who genuinely care about getting better at what they do. We've covered software architecture and Agile practices, leadership and career growth, AI, entrepreneurship, burnout, communication, and team dynamics. Languages have evolved. Frameworks have come and gone. Entire development ecosystems have appeared almost overnight. But one thing has stayed constant: the need for developers willing to learn. Tools change. Technology changes. The ability to think, adapt, communicate, and grow never goes out of style. Thank You for Being Part of the Journey Whether this is your first episode or you've somehow been here for all 1,000 — thank you. For listening, for sharing episodes with coworkers and friends, for the emails and feedback, and for challenging us to think differently. Building Better Developers has always been a conversation, not a broadcast. Every message and discussion has helped shape what we cover and where we go. This milestone belongs as much to our listeners as it does to us. The Next 1,000 If there's one thing a thousand episodes has taught us, it's that there is always more to learn. AI is reshaping how we build software. Teams are adapting. Developers are finding new ways to create value. The future will look different from the past decade — but our mission stays the same. Keep learning. Keep growing. Keep helping developers build better careers and better lives. Here's to the next milestone. And as always — keep building better.

Today is a fun episode. I'm sharing WHY I found big money on a walk last week, what Bible principle I had put a demand on to provoke this cool thing happening. I share today:1. Why it's God's will to prosper you (lots of Bible verses to support this in the Bible)2. How to know God's will3. A sense of humor God had about a prayer request I had about money4.

Last week I talked about killing the nice guy. This week I'm speaking to the other side of the same wound. When masculine presence is absent from a relationship, a woman fills the space the only way she knows how. She takes control. Of everything. This episode is about why she does that, where it comes from, and what it actually takes to create the conditions where she can start to let go. I'm drawing directly from Dawn's and my 17 years together, including the patterns that nearly killed our relationship and the slow, unglamorous work that turned it into something neither of us could have built alone. In this episode: Why the wounded masculine and wounded feminine mirror each other in polarity inversion Why healing looks fundamentally different for men and women, and why that asymmetry matters The concept of existential vulnerability, and why a woman's healed state requires a kind of courage that men rarely have to face Why "a healed woman doesn't exist without a healed man" isn't codependency, it's physics Dawn's story: the rigid religious upbringing, the self-abandonment that got rewarded as obedience, and the lie her whole life was built around Why the control pattern runs all the way down to survival, and why telling her to "just let go" is like telling an angry person to calm down What it actually means to hold her, not with promises, but with presence she can feel Why this process is slow, what it looks like in real time, and why it's worth every bit of it CHAPTERS & TIMESTAMPS: 00:00 Nice Guy Recap 02:10 Polarity Inversion Explained 03:54 Control Patterns and Stress 07:16 Why Surrender Is Hard 08:34 Hold Her Not Fix Her 13:14 Modern Roots of Distrust 19:31 Self Sabotage in Love 20:58 Childhood Conditioning and Perfection 31:36 Life Built on a Lie 36:19 Why Letting Go Feels Unsafe 40:10 Safety Takes Years 43:34 Grief and Being Held 46:29 Healing Together 48:04 Closing and Reviews

Music is, at its most basic level, just vibrations moving through the air. A guitar string vibrates, sound waves travel through oxygen molecules, and our brains somehow turn those vibrations into an experience. Yet that explanation never feels like enough. A song can make us cry, transport us back in time, or help us survive a difficult season of life. In this episode of Clemenz With a "Z", I explore the idea of emergence; the mysterious way that simple parts sometimes become something more when they come together. From music and consciousness to family, community, and spirituality, this conversation wrestles with two different kinds of "why" and what it means to live with wonder in a world that can often be explained, but never fully exhausted.

In just twelve months, the conversation around Agentic AI in insurance has changed dramatically.  What began as curiosity about autonomous AI agents has evolved into a much more practical discussion about implementation, governance, economics and competitive advantage.  In this special solo episode, InsTech's Zoja Wojcik reflects on the developments that have shaped the market since InsTech's first Agentic AI event in November 2025. Drawing on conversations with insurers, brokers, MGAs, technology providers and industry leaders, she explores how the industry has moved beyond experimentation and towards a more challenging question: where does the commercial value actually come from?  Along the way, you'll hear insights from Simon Torrance, Erdal Atakan, Gina Gill, Elena Maran, Max Richter and Ian Thompson, alongside examples of how organisations including CFC, McGill & Partners, AIG, Duck Creek and hyperexponential are bringing Agentic AI into real insurance operations.  Whether you're still trying to understand what Agentic AI means for insurance or already evaluating deployment opportunities, this episode offers a practical snapshot of where the market stands today and the questions leaders should be asking next.  Want to continue the conversation? Join us in London on July 7 for 'The age of Agentic AI: from strategy to commercial value'. In this episode:  00:00 - What is Agentic AI and why has it become one of insurance's most discussed technologies?  03:15 - Looking back at the industry's first major Agentic AI event in November 2025  05:45 - Simon Torrance on why Agentic AI should be viewed as a new workforce, not simply another software tool  06:20 - Early deployment examples from across the insurance market:  CFC's Lane Assist   McGill & Partners and Salesforce Agentforce   AIG's AI-driven underwriting initiatives   Federato's agentic underwriting platform   hyperexponential and Banyan Risk   Duck Creek's insurance-native Agentic AI platform   08:15 - Why moving from pilot projects to production remains difficult  10:00 - The defining question of 2026: proving commercial value and ROI  12:15 - Intelligence Capital, competitive advantage and why buying AI tools may only create parity  13:30 - Orchestration, governance and maintaining trust in agentic systems  15:00 - Workforce transformation and practical lessons for insurance leaders  16:00 - What questions should insurance organisations be asking next?  Key takeaways:  The industry conversation has shifted from experimentation towards implementation and measurable business outcomes.   Many of the biggest barriers to adoption are organisational rather than technical.   Boards increasingly expect clear economic justification for AI investment.   Competitive advantage may come less from AI models themselves and more from institutional knowledge and decision-making expertise.   Governance frameworks must evolve alongside increasingly autonomous systems.   Organisations that focus on specific business problems are more likely to succeed than those pursuing AI for its own sake.   Featured contributors:  Simon Torrance, AI Risk   Erdal Atakan, Inigo   Gina Gill, Apollo   Elena Maran, Alethesis AI   Max Richter, Mea platform   Ian Thompson, IMT Advisory  Further reading:  For listeners looking to explore the themes discussed in this episode:  Agentic AI & insurance  Podcast episode: Where is the industry today? – a view from the C-suite (A rare C-suite perspective on Agentic AI: what it is, how it's being deployed and why senior leaders are walking a tightrope between bold innovation and operational risk.)  CFC launches Lane Assist, a live agentic underwriting pilot  McGill & Partners becomes first London Market broker to deploy Agentic AI  McGill + AIG collaboration using AI-driven underwriting  Duck Creek launches insurance-native Agentic AI Platform  Federato RiskOps and Agentic underwriting platform  MGA Banyan Risk deploys hx's full agentic underwriting suite  Strategy & commercial value  Simon Torrance's work on Intelligence Capital   AI Risk research on Agentic AI and enterprise transformation   InsTech & ServiceNow New York event: The future of insurance will be orchestrated, not built  Governance & Responsible AI  Article: The New Frontier: Managing and insuring generative and agentic AI risks with Edinburgh Futures Institute  Podcast episode: Creating a new kind of assurance & insurance framework for AI-related risks (This episode unpacks one of the most ambitious research initiatives currently shaping the future of AI risk in insurance.)

Rationing. It's a word which sends shivers down the spine. A word which conjures up Spam and powdered eggs, potato peel pie and cabbage. Endless cabbage. But it wasn't all doom and gloom. And today we celebrate the woman who taught Britain how to 'make do': the glorious Marguerite Patten.Her recipes went down in history and she's still the cook with the most books – 170 at the last count. Marguerite was the first TV chef, the first to publish a colour cookbook and the first to recognise the magic of gadgets. So pull up a chair and feed your mind as we tuck into some of her recipes in the company of the food writer Claire Thomson, AKA @5oclockapron.

In this episode of the Grad School Femtoring Podcast, I reflect on reaching 100K podcast downloads during one of the hardest seasons of my life as a parent and what that unexpected milestone taught me about consistency, progress, and success. Through my own lived experience and the patterns I see in coaching first-generation, BIPOC, and historically excluded students and professionals, I explore why many of us have inherited definitions of consistency that create unnecessary shame and make it harder to stay connected to our goals. I discuss why consistency is better understood as a relationship rather than a streak, how adaptation and flexible systems support long-term sustainability, and why purpose matters when external outcomes are slow or uncertain. I also share practical strategies rooted in capacity-based planning, maintenance goals, and reconnection so you can make meaningful progress while honoring the realities of changing seasons, competing responsibilities, and limited capacity. In this episode, you will learn: How to redefine consistency beyond streaks and rigid expectations Why adaptation and flexible systems support long-term sustainable success How to practice capacity-based planning based on your current energy and responsibilities Why maintenance is a meaningful form of progress during difficult seasons How to measure consistency by your willingness to reconnect with what matters Practical ways to stay connected to writing, career, health, and/or personal goals across changing levels of capacity Work with me If you're navigating a major milestone or trying to build sustainable systems that align with your capacity and long-term goals, I'd love to support you through one-on-one coaching.

In this episode of Student of Life, I reflect on some of the biggest lessons leadership has taught me over the last decade. From conflict and accountability to confidence, systems, and emotional health, I've learned that leadership reveals more than it creates. Many of the lessons that shaped me didn't come from books or certifications they came from real situations, hard conversations, mistakes, and self-reflection. This episode is less about leadership techniques and more about what leadership teaches us about ourselves.Student of Life GuideKey IdeaLeadership is not just a test of competence, it's a mirror that reveals character, assumptions, strengths, weaknesses, and areas that still need growth.Reflection QuestionsWhat has leadership revealed about me that I couldn't see before?Where might I be relying too heavily on a strength that needs recalibration?What lesson from a difficult season has shaped me the most?

I trained at one of the world's most prestigious medical institutions and spent years following conventional medical wisdom. But after watching the same advice fail patient after patient, I started questioning everything.In this episode, I reveal why I believe some of medicine's most accepted ideas — from cholesterol to calories-in, calories-out — are deeply flawed. We'll explore the gut microbiome revolution, the outdated thinking still shaping healthcare today, and the discoveries that completely changed the way I approach weight loss, heart disease, inflammation, and chronic illness.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Most of us are moving faster than ever — more content, more hustle, more output. But what if the most powerful thing you could do right now is stop? In this episode of Cut to the Chase: with Gregg Goldfarb, Gregg sits down with filmmaker Steve Dabal, director of Italian Wannabe — a feature documentary that sold out five screenings at the 2026 Palm Springs International Film Festival and is now doing pop-up screenings across the country. Italian Wannabe follows chef Bill Disselhorst — co-founder of Fiore Market Cafe, one of America's Top 100 restaurants — as he walks away from his Los Angeles life and returns to Casperia, a small medieval village an hour north of Rome, where he and his late wife Anne first fell in love with Italian food, slow living, and the kind of community that doesn't exist on a screen. What started as one man's grief became a meditation on reinvention, passion, and what it really means to belong somewhere. Join Gregg and Steve on Cut to the Chase: as they discuss:   How chef Bill Disselhorst built one of America's Top 100 restaurants — and what happened when he lost it all Why the village of Casperia, Italy holds the secret to a life most of us only dream about What Italian Wannabe is really about — and why it's not just a food documentary How Steve went from a year of no work and near burnout to making his first feature film with a borrowed camera Why community is the most underrated currency in business, film, and life What the film festival circuit looks like right now — and why it has never been a better time to make a documentary The one lesson from Bill Disselhorst that will change how you treat every person you meet   Key Moments:   00:00 — Gregg introduces Italian Wannabe and filmmaker Steve Dabal 01:30 — What Italian Wannabe is really about and how it began 03:00 — How Steve met Bill at Fiore Market Cafe during film school 05:00 — The village of Casperia, Italy and why Bill keeps going back 07:30 — The contrast between hustle culture and the Italian slow life 10:00 — How Bill's approach to community changed how Steve lives and works 13:00 — The one habit — asking people their names — that builds real connection 16:00 — How the writers' strike and a year without work led to the film 19:00 — What it takes to make a documentary today — no degree, no big budget required 22:00 — Italian Wannabe's journey: from borrowed camera to Palm Springs Film Festival sellout 25:00 — Why this film will make you rethink what you're chasing   Guest Bio: Steve Dabal is an Italian-American director, cinematographer, and editor with a deep VFX background and a focus on non-fiction storytelling. As co-founder and Creative Director of The Family, a New York-based production house, he has interviewed subjects ranging from Scarlett Johansson and Fortune 500 CEOs to war veterans and 9/11 survivors. His work has screened at SXSW, the New York Film Festival, and internationally. Italian Wannabe is his debut feature documentary.

Show Notes What does it take to walk into a room full of suffering and keep showing up? In this episode of Real Women's Work, I revisit a conversation with Carolyn Flynn, a registered nurse who spent ten years caring for critically ill children in a pediatric burn unit. What I remembered as a conversation about nursing turns out to be something much deeper: a conversation about purpose, resilience, teamwork, and what it means to help people through the hardest moments of their lives. Carolyn shares what it's really like to work in an environment where every day can bring life-and-death decisions, heartbreaking stories, unexpected joy, and extraordinary acts of compassion. She talks about the unique culture of nursing, where independence and teamwork coexist, and where help arrives without needing to be asked for. One of the most powerful moments in our conversation comes when Carolyn describes her very first day in a pediatric burn unit—a day she thought might prove she wasn't capable of doing the work. Instead, it revealed exactly where she belonged. This episode is ultimately about something bigger than healthcare. It's about finding meaning in service, showing up when outcomes are uncertain, and discovering that success isn't always measured by what you can fix. In This Episode Why nursing requires both fierce independence and deep teamwork The reality of working in a pediatric burn unit How medical teams support one another during crises What Carolyn learned on her first day as a nurse The role of compassion when you can't change the outcome Finding joy and connection in difficult circumstances Why Carolyn believes her purpose is to make people as comfortable as possible The moments that reminded her she was exactly where she needed to be Memorable Quote "My purpose is to make other people as comfortable as I possibly can. I can't control the outcome, but I can fight for my patients and do everything in my power to make them comfortable." Why Listen? This conversation offers a rare glimpse into a profession most of us only see from the outside. But even more than that, it's a reminder that meaningful work isn't always about achievement. Sometimes it's about presence, compassion, and being willing to stand beside people during the hardest moments of their lives.

I went to Japan for three weeks thinking I was taking a trip.I wasn't.I went during the biggest transition of my life at 39 years old, a brand new rebranded podcast, a public pivot away from everything I'd been building for years.  I thought Japan would give me great content.  What it actually gave me was something I didn't expect and couldn't fully plan for.In this episode I'm talking about what happens when you take yourself somewhere completely unfamiliar and everything you use to define yourself stops working.  And what's left is just you.Note… my laptop died mid-recording so this episode ends abruptly.  I thought about not posting it.  But that felt too clean for what this trip actually was.Out Loud.

In this episode of the InspirED Podcast, Andrea De La Cerda challenges the belief that women are "too much" and explores how cultural conditioning teaches many women to shrink themselves to maintain acceptance and harmony. Drawing from personal experience, leadership research, neuroscience, and behavioral psychology, Andrea explains why visibility can feel unsafe, how self-silencing affects confidence and income, and why taking up space is often a nervous system challenge rather than a capability issue. She shares practical strategies for trusting your intuition, setting boundaries without over-explaining, and reclaiming your authority in business and life.

This episode is a message on humanism, mission, and showing up fully for every child. It's not a question of whether the child can do it. Of course they can. It's only a question of how. This week's episode is deeply personal. After losing a close friend and being present with him in his final moments, a powerful message surfaced: when someone is suffering, don't look away.

The children on your caseload who are hardest to reach are the ones who need you most. And you have what it takes to show up for them. In this episode, let's discuss... Why a humanistic lens, not just a clinical one, is the foundation of meaningful work with children Why a narrow approach with kids with autism will leave you stuck, and what a truly holistic approach looks like How to take what's working in one area of your practice and bridge it to the gaps without reinventing the wheel Why this work is a mission and why giving all of yourself mentally, emotionally, and physically is worth it This episode is for you if.... You work with children who are challenging to reach and sometimes wonder if you're making a difference You feel the physical, emotional, and mental weight of this work You want to be reminded that you are capable and that there's always a "how" You're looking for the motivation to roll up your sleeves and keep going READY TO MAKE THE WORLD A BETTER PLACE ONE CHILD AT A TIME?

After 30 years in health, Dr. Mindy is calling time on the rules.This solo episode is one of the most personal things she's shared on this podcast. It covers two big ideas: the science and story behind why she stopped fasting for most of the past year and the five health habits she's deliberately walking away from in 2026.First, flex fasting. When cortisol is high from grief, trauma, illness, perimenopause, or chronic stress rigidly pushing through long fasting windows doesn't support the body. It depletes it. Dr. Mindy shares what happened when she lost a close friend and found herself in an acute stress state, what the research says about prolonged fasting and the HPA axis, and how she developed a new approach she's calling flex fasting: a more intuitive, body-led way to use fasting as a tool without turning it into a rule.Then the five things she's giving up: counting (macros, biometrics, followers, all of it), the gym, other people's urgency, productivity over health, and information overconsumption. Each one is a direct response to what the wellness industry has quietly done to us — turned health into a full-time job with a performance review.RESOURCES MENTIONED:Fast Like a Girl: https://www.drmindypelz.com/booksAge Like a Girl: https://www.drmindypelz.com/booksSubstack Article "I Stopped Fasting for a Year": https://substack.com/@drmindypelz/Carb Manager App carbmanager.com, available on iOS, Android, and webThe Movement Diet: Redefining Fitness at Every Age with Katy BowmanStudy: Prolonged Fasting, HPA Axis & Cortisol - https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC12736288/Study: Estrogen & Cortisol Regulation - https://academic.oup.com/jcem/article/102/12/4457/4587523Midlife Women Fasting Trial - https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-025-65678-zStudy: Self-Selected Fasting Windows - https://www.nature.com/articles/s41591-024-03375-yBEAM Minerals, use code MINDY for 20% off: https://www.beamminerals.com/?oid=4&affid=648LMNT, get a free sample pack with your order: https://bit.ly/drinklmntpelzTo view full show notes, resources mentioned, transcripts, and more, visit

250 episodes in, and the biggest lessons aren't the ones I expected to learn.   After working with hundreds of business owners, spending thousands of hours inside real businesses at every level, and recording 250 episodes of this podcast - the patterns that keep showing up have changed how I think about growth, success, and what it actually means to build a business that works.   The businesses that grow most sustainably don't always look the way we've been taught they should. They're not the loudest, the biggest, or the busiest. They're the clearest. The most intentional. The most focused.   In this milestone episode, I'm sharing the five biggest lessons I've learned - not theory, not hustle culture noise, but what I genuinely believe creates sustainable success after watching real people, in the arena, doing the thing every day.   Mentioned in this episode Nathan Barry Podcast: How To Uncover $100K In Hidden Profit with Jessica Miller Schedule a Consultation Offer Optimization Scorecard   Work/Connect with me: Offer Optimization Scorecard Book a Profit Strategy Call Leave a Podcast Review Subscribe   Tune in to start taking your business and life to the next level today and don't forget to subscribe or follow the podcast to make sure you don't miss any future episodes.

19 founders. Rockets, guinea pigs, co-CEO structures, a community of 200,000 built in two years. Every conversation different. Three patterns kept coming back.James breaks down what's actually moving across Season 6 — why the founders gaining ground are stripping back rather than adding, why your performance metrics might be hiding your biggest team problem, and why the most useful thing a vision can do has nothing to do with investor decks. If you've found product-market fit and things still feel harder than they should, this one is worth 16 minutes of your time.More from James:Connect with James on LinkedIn or at peer-effect.com 

There are motorcycle-industry professionals who need an introduction and those who don't. Scot Harden is in the latter category. From Baja to the boardroom, this hall-of-fame racer and business leader has been there and done that. He likely designed the proverbial T-shirt, too. To his credit, however, Harden is quick to praise those who guided him on his 50-plus-year two-wheel journey. Harden got his start racing off-road, beating the best in the desert near his hometown of Las Vegas, Nevada. “Back then, Barstow to Vegas was the biggest race in the world,” he says. “It started just east of Barstow, California, and went all the way to Las Vegas—a 170-mile point-to-point hare and hound. In 1973, there were 3,000 entries. I got third overall, first 250cc Expert.” Decades of top-level international competition helped Harden develop models and programs that quite literally transformed the sport. Those successes aside, Harden, who will soon celebrate his 70th birthday, isn't resting on his many laurels. “Motorcycling can't be taken for granted,” he cautions. “There are a lot of challenges, and we need to be more proactive.” See what Scot is up to now at harden-offroad.com Connect with Us:Website: www.driventoridepodcast.comInstagram: www.Instagram.com/driventoridepodcastFacebook: www.facebook.com/driventorideEmail:hello@driventoridepodcast.com

Beau Martonik sits down with Ryan Leary, a PA hunter who has been grinding big woods public land for six years and put together back-to-back mature buck kills including a 7.5 year old eight point in 2025. Ryan breaks down both hunts — the 2025 buck he killed at 10 yards after trusting his gut on fresh sign mid-morning, and the 2024 deer he killed the same evening he bumped on foot while hunting with a broken shoulder he probably shouldn't have been in the woods on. They also get into how he reads finger ridges and micro terrain, why getting into the nasty stuff changed his success rate, how the gypsy moth acorn wipeout forced him to rethink his whole approach, and what he's learned about mature bucks in the Pennsylvania mountains.

Most people were taught to work hard, save money, and hope for retirement.Jhanele Wilson learned a different game — through pressure.At 22 years old, she stepped in to stop her father's home from being demolished at a tax auction. That one decision led her to master real estate auctions, hard money lending, small multifamily investing, and eventually building a portfolio of 100+ doors.But that's not even the real gem.In this episode, Jhanele breaks down the strategy wealthy families use that most communities were NEVER taught — Infinite Banking.We're talking:• How to build real estate with other people's money• How to refinance and pull out tax-free cash• Why wealthy families buy whole life insurance (and don't talk about it)• How to create cash flow that outpaces your paycheck• The difference between the “semi-wealth game” and the real wealth game• Why this is actually a BUYER'S market right nowIf you're still working for money instead of having money work for you… this one is mandatory.

It's my birthday week and I'm turning 43! Naturally, I've been reflecting on what my 40s have taught me so far—especially the last year because, wow, it was a transformative one. Some might call this season a midlife crisis (and there's actually science to support that, which I touch on in the episode). But I've come to see it differently: as a period of realignment. An invitation to question what's no longer working, reconnect with what matters, and begin authoring a new chapter. In today's episode, I share: What it felt like to question nearly everything after a major life transition The research that helped me understand why my priorities have shifted so much in my 40s How I went from feeling wound-up and irritable to calmer and more present The unexpected freedom that came from stepping away from social media Why this season feels less like a crisis and more like a homecoming Mentions: My Substack: https://blairbadenhop.substack.com The U-Shaped Happiness Curve: https://www.brookings.edu/articles/is-there-really-a-u-shaped-curve-in-happiness-over-the-life-cycle/ Laura Carstensen's Socioemotional Selectivity Theory: https://lifespan.stanford.edu/projects/socioemotional-selectivity-theory-sst

Have you ever been in a yoga class where the yoga teacher gives a long dharma talk about ahimsa, and then when the movement practice begins the teaching style feels very aggressive? Or maybe you have been that teacher yourself. I know I have! I think there are really subtle and beautiful ways to teach the movement part of yoga in a way that has the deeper philosophical teachings embedded within it, but most of us were not taught to do that, and it is more challenging to do than you might think!  Also, many of us claim that yoga movement can be healing, but a performative style of teaching doesn't allow for that. In this episode, I explore an idea that has become central to my work as a yoga teacher and educator: the disconnect between how yoga is often marketed as a healing practice and how it is frequently taught as a performative one. I dive into the ways traditional teaching frameworks—especially the language of "regressions," "progressions," "safe," "unsafe," "full expression," "modifcation"—can unintentionally reinforce hierarchy, competition, and performance-based thinking. If our goal is to help students feel better in their bodies, develop agency, and cultivate discernment, I believe we need a different approach. Throughout the episode, I share practical tools for teaching movement in a way that aligns more closely with healing-centered values. We explore how to move beyond visual ideals, teach from intended benefit rather than aesthetic outcomes, and help students make informed choices based on their unique experiences rather than universal standards. I also discuss the role of teacher authority, student agency, movement literacy, and why teaching in a more nuanced, non-hierarchical way is both more challenging and ultimately more effective. In this episode, you'll hear: Why yoga cannot simultaneously be a healing practice and a performance-based achievement system The hidden hierarchy embedded in common yoga teaching language Why regressions and progressions are not universal How movement experiences vary from body to body The difference between teaching shapes and teaching movement experiences Student agency, teacher authority, and finding the middle path between control and abdication Why "harder" and "easier" are often misleading descriptors Alternative frameworks for cueing movement, including active vs. passive, symmetrical vs. asymmetrical, and stability vs. mobility How to identify the intended benefit of a pose or movement The importance of sensation-based and function-based cueing Common compensation patterns and how to work with them Why nonlinear movement teaching requires more observation, education, and nuance Helping students develop movement literacy and discernment Practical examples from tabletop, lunges, Warrior III, Extended Side Angle, and more Resources Mentioned:  Episode 165: The Intended Benefit + Removing Linear Hierarchy The Sangha  This episode is sponsored by OfferingTree!   Sign up at www.offeringtree.com/mentor to get 50% off your first three months (or 15% off any annual plan).  With OfferingTree, yoga teachers put their schedule on a personally branded website where students can book classes and even pay or donate online.  All of this can be set up in 10 minutes or less.

One habit. Practiced daily. Compounded over years. That is the actual price of becoming an excellent leader, and most ambitious people are paying a completely different price instead. Ryan Hawk has spent 11 years hosting The Learning Leader Show, with over 700 conversations with some of the highest-performing people in business, sports, and beyond. His new book, The Price of Becoming, is built on a simple but uncomfortable idea: the thing that separates sustaining excellence from fleeting success is not talent, vision, or even hard work. It's reliability. Consistency. The willingness to go to bed a little wiser than when you woke up, day after day, without interrupting the compounding. I got to sit down with Ryan on the Systematic Leader podcast, and I walked away with a pile of notes and one image I can't stop thinking about. Ryan flew to Boulder, Colorado, to record an interview with Jim Collins, author of Good to Great and one of the most respected names in business. Before they started recording, Collins walked in and began quietly emptying his pockets. Apple Watch. Key fob. Phone. A Ziploc bag with cash and an emergency contact. He placed it all in a neat pile outside the door. Then he walked in. He never mentioned it. Never made a speech about presence. He just removed every possible distraction before the conversation began. Ryan said he asked Collins' assistant about it afterward. Her answer: "Jim is so good about being locked in on what he chooses to do." That story tells you everything about what this episode is about. What Ambitious Leaders Consistently Get Wrong Ryan has asked hundreds of high performers what separates the great ones from everyone else. The answer is almost never what people expect. Not charisma. Not risk tolerance. Not some secret morning routine that takes four hours. The Inner Scoreboard vs. The Outer Scoreboard One of the most useful distinctions in this conversation is the difference between winning externally and winning internally. Ryan has worked with Brooke Cupps, the winningest high school basketball coach at Centerville High School, who has never set a single goal around winning games. Every goal his teams set is a process goal, tied to their core values: tough, passionate, unified, and thankful. The score, Ryan says, seems to take care of itself when your focus is that clear. The leaders who get out of whack are the ones fixated on what others will think, how something will look, or hitting a specific number. That outward focus crowds out the internal work that actually produces results. See It, Say It: The Simplest Culture-Building Practice Ryan shared the framework he uses with his coaching clients, borrowed from his collaborator Garen Stokes. The idea is this: when you observe something worth saying, you say it immediately. Vivid Clarity Is the Leader's Job One theme Ryan returns to again and again is that if someone on your team doesn't know what excellence looks like in their role, that is the leader's fault. Not the employee's. Yours.

Today is day 160 and we are on the section on the Lord's Prayer. 160. What is the prayer our Lord Jesus taught his disciples to pray? The traditional version of the Lord's Prayer is this: Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name, thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever and ever. Amen.

In this episode of Openlove101, John and Jackie are joined by Jackie's daughter, Ashley, to discuss what it was like growing up with parents in a consensually non-monogamous relationship. Ashley shares that her biggest concern wasn't the lifestyle itself—it was whether John and Jackie were happy and if their relationship was stable. Once reassured that their marriage was strong, she embraced their honesty and appreciated being included in open, judgment-free conversations. The discussion highlights how vulnerability and communication strengthened their family relationships rather than harmed them. Ashley encourages parents to approach these conversations with honesty and reassurance, while reminding adult children that their parents are still the same people they've always known. Highlights Ashley's initial concern was whether her parents were separating, not their lifestyle choices. Open communication strengthened trust and closeness within the family. Parents sharing their lifestyle can create opportunities for honest conversations about relationships and sexuality. Ashley emphasizes that parents are individuals who deserve happiness and authenticity. None of the children felt pressured to adopt the same lifestyle themselves. Reassurance about relationship stability can help ease children's fears. Love, support, and understanding are essential on both sides of the conversation. Key Insights Reassurance Matters: Adult children often care most about whether their parents' relationship is healthy and secure. Honesty Builds Trust: Open conversations can deepen family connections and encourage vulnerability. Parents Are People Too: Children can benefit from recognizing that parents deserve fulfilling relationships and authentic lives. No One Is Being "Converted": Exposure to alternative relationship styles doesn't dictate a child's own relationship choices. Lead with Love: Both parents and children benefit when these discussions are approached with compassion rather than judgment.

Most cold call advice you see celebrated on LinkedIn has one thing in common — it starts with an apology. "You're going to hate me, but this is a cold call." "Did I catch you at a bad time?" "I'll be honest with you — this is a sales call." Justin Michael has spent 20,000 hours on the phone and written 10 books disagreeing with all of it. And in this episode, he makes the case — backed by brain science — for why permission-begging openers kill your status, trigger the wrong response in the prospect's brain, and actually cause the rejection salespeople are trying to soften. Justin is a former sales leader at Salesforce and LinkedIn whose methodology has generated over $1 billion in pipeline for more than 200 ventures. He's one of the sharpest minds in outbound sales, and Art ranks him among the top in the industry. In this conversation, the two compare notes on everything from the neuroscience of cold call openers, to why personalization at scale is a myth, to the Route technique that gets executives talking without a single pitch. Fair warning — this one gets opinionated. In the best possible way. What you'll hear in this episode: Why the croc brain fires the moment your prospect picks up — and what that means for everything you say in the first ten seconds The Route technique — a dead-simple opener that works by asking a routing question instead of pitching or begging for time Why email and phone require completely opposite psychological approaches The difference between a comment and an objection — and why treating them the same is costing you conversations Attraction selling, pronoia, and the mindset shift that separates reps who grind from reps who produce Why the person listening is always in control — and what that means for how you open every call What unconscious competence actually feels like, and how to get there faster
