It is harder to be courageous when all you see are examples of cowardice. Well, the Stoics can help us with this.
On today's episode, Summer continues the discussion by diving into the language, mindset, and team systems that support better case acceptance. She shares how to personalize urgency around what matters most to each patient, whether that's time, finances, comfort, aesthetics, longevity, or dental anxiety. Summer also emphasizes the importance of nonverbal communication, slowing down in the operatory, using intraoral photos, guiding patients through phased treatment, and making sure the entire team reinforces the doctor's clinical conviction. From calibrating with hygienists to role-playing patient objections and celebrating wins, this episode highlights how treatment acceptance becomes a whole-team effort rooted in trust, clarity, and patient advocacy.

On today's episode, Dr. Mark Costes introduces Summer for a powerful conversation on improving treatment acceptance by understanding why patients really say no. Summer breaks down how many patients decline care not simply because of money, but because they don't fully see the value, urgency, or consequences of waiting. She explains why a strong philosophy of care is the foundation for confident treatment presentation, and how doctors can move away from hedging, over-explaining, or presenting treatment as optional. By helping patients understand what is happening in their mouth, why it matters, and what could happen if they wait, dentists can lead with clarity, confidence, and a true commitment to patient health.

What happens when the thing you thought would define your future no longer feels aligned with who you're becoming?Former USC quarterback Brandon Hance joins Amy Sylvis to talk about identity, entrepreneurship, leadership, and redefining what abundance actually means. From competing during one of the most iconic eras in USC football history to building and selling companies, Brandon shares how setbacks, mentorship, and self-awareness shaped the direction of his life far beyond sports.In this conversation, Brandon opens up about transferring back to USC after injury, learning directly from Pete Carroll during his years as a backup quarterback, and eventually transitioning into entrepreneurship and affordable housing development in Los Angeles. The discussion explores purpose, team dynamics, service, and why abundance eventually became less about external success and more about alignment, contribution, and inner fulfillment.

It was a real pleasure to sit down with Dennis Alvord, a nearly 30-year veteran of the federal civil service whose career at the Economic Development Administration and the OECD's Regional Development Policy Committee has made him one of the most experienced economic development practitioners in the country. Dennis and I first crossed paths about 15 years ago working to bring forward evidence on manufacturing's role as a cornerstone of regional economic development, and it was great to reconnect and dig into where we are today.We cover a lot of ground in this conversation. Dennis walks us through EDA's history as one of the federal government's more flexible and creative grant-making agencies, and how programs like IMCP and Tech Hubs have demonstrated the power of place-based, collaborative investment. We discuss what the US can learn from OECD member nations on sustained industrial policy, from Sweden and Japan's innovative approaches to offsite manufactured housing to the importance of consistent, structured federal investment in regional economic ecosystems.We also talk about the critical importance of civil servants as stewards of the public good, and Dennis shares his perspective on what it will take to build the structured, long-term regional investment frameworks that can truly move the needle on American prosperity. Thanks to Dennis for a great conversation, give it a listen!

From the dangerous mindset that marriage is just about finding the right person to the revolutionary truth that the quality of the players in marriage determines whether you see relationship as competition or collaboration, and why the brutal truth about why marriages collapse is that people bring residual effects from their upbringing into marriage without understanding that though you may look polished, educated, and talented, the effect of the environment that raised you is still there and just a little trigger will show where you came from, the young person raised in an environment where you fight for everything creating a competition mentality of survival of the fittest that no matter how refined you appear carries forward into adult relationships, the child who was shifted from one house to another or had wealthy parents who were sound and had everything but gave no time leaving a person devoid of love who had everything going for them but didn't have attention or affection, the partner coming into marriage struggling with trust issues asking can I trust what you are doing because the effect of where I'm coming from is tearing me apart and in my subconscious I'm hearing voices from the past, the realization that the quality of players in marriage is one thing but the pattern of play requires that you fish out your opponent and understand their pattern because no two marriages are the same and you may have a friend whose wife does certain things but you cannot expect your wife to be like that, the wisdom that you must sit down and talk about what are the possible things that can challenge the mindset of a person and bring them to see marriage as competition instead of collaboration, the understanding that when you sit down and truly understand each other that understanding will weave something that brings you to a place of knowing you are a team not competitors, the competition mindset that doesn't happen overnight and may not be resolved by yourself alone but you can get help, the agencies and people coming with competition wanting to prove who is on top which is all lack of knowledge and ignorance that should be sorted out before marriage, the critical truth that there are things that should be sorted out before marriage because if you wait those dysfunctional tendencies will be used as weapons against a fantastic marriage that could have been properly managed for the greatest result, the intense premarital exposure to knowledge and wisdom that digs out a lot about a person because you are not just the man that wears the shirt and trouser in front of me but a combination of a lot of things, the women who are a combination of a lot of things where so many have been broken before marriage and the competitive clamoring is not about competing against you but about the backlog of trauma that may not have been resolved, the women looking for the next victim to lash out on because they may have been violated, abused, molested, talked down to, or considered inconsequential, the beautiful glamorous woman where what you see may just be the container but you do not know the content, the process of knowing the content that takes time starting with meeting the person with the mindset of friendship, the opportunities to create trust that you are not coming as one of the bandwagons of people that abused her one way or the other which will go through rigorous testing where she will test you.

Welcome to the Health Marketing Collective, where strong leadership meets marketing excellence.On today's episode, we're joined by Wendy Cutting, VP and CTO of Product, Data, and Engineering at HealtheMed, to dig into one of the most important and nuanced challenges in healthcare: the often-fraught relationship between product and marketing. As someone who has navigated this dynamic for more than 20 years in both retail and healthcare organizations, Wendy offers a seasoned, practical perspective on why friction arises between product and marketing—and, crucially, what it takes to break down silos and truly drive adoption and impact.Wendy's expertise lies in transforming business strategy into scalable healthcare technology, embedding security, compliance, and operational rigor at every stage. She partners deeply with marketing and executive teams, ensuring that every product built aligns with the way it's positioned and understood in the market. As Sara Payne and Wendy Cutting unpack the tension between product validation and iteration versus marketing's drive for activation and scale, they explore how data, executive alignment, and cross-functional collaboration are essential to maximizing both innovation and adoption.Together, they look at real-world lessons from retail, practical approaches from healthcare, and actionable strategies for any organization striving to improve collaboration and move as one unified team.Key Takeaways:Data as the Critical Bridge: The recurring theme throughout the discussion is the value of data—particularly the role of dedicated analytics teams as the connective tissue between product and marketing. Rather than relying on product or marketing to own and interpret the data independently, organizations see the most alignment and trust when an objective analytics group manages the data, making it accessible and transparent for all teams ([00:05:30 - 00:06:26]).Roadmap Transparency Drives Alignment: Successful organizations foster collaboration by involving both product and marketing in roadmap planning early and often. This includes openly sharing roadmaps, planning work well in advance (ideally giving marketing a six-month window for larger organizations), and engaging in collaborative quarterly business reviews. Such practices help both sides anticipate needs, plan resources, and adjust tactics to better serve shared goals ([00:08:30 - 00:11:16]).Lessons from Retail: True Customer Focus: Drawing on her background at Best Buy and Target, Wendy Cutting argues that healthcare has much to learn from retail's customer obsession. In retail, understanding and personalizing to the end user is essential—otherwise, there is no sale. In healthcare, complexity and segmentation often obscure that focus, but those organizations that embrace human-centered design (as in retail) achieve stronger engagement and better results ([00:12:05 - 00:12:44]).Building Trust Through Regular Cross-Functional Meetings: Beyond just process, success also comes down to relationships. Regular, bi-weekly touchpoints between product and marketing leaders—even when there's little on the agenda—foster trust, friendship, and mutual understanding. This consistency sets the tone for fast pivots, shared wins, and more empathetic collaboration across the board ([00:24:17 - 00:24:39]).Executive Support and a Shared Purpose: Executive alignment is critical: when leadership frames business objectives clearly and everyone is on the same page about ultimate goals, it becomes much easier to resolve tensions and unite product and marketing behind outcomes that matter for both business and customer. Wendy Cutting emphasizes that technology and marketing should always serve people first—not just revenue—by solving what's genuinely missing in people's lives ([00:22:14 - 00:22:50]).Thank you for being part of the Health Marketing Collective, where strong leadership meets marketing excellence.

What does spiritual maturity look like? Is it reserved for the "professional" Christians? In this message we explore God's call for every believer to pursue spiritual maturity.
PM Team Sports Court w/ our friends from Edgar Snyder & Associates. The guys played a little game of ‘Defend or Prosecute' when it comes to various subjects in Pittsburgh sports. Should the Steelers draft a QB? Should the Steelers move to a dome stadium? Should the Penguins extend Evgeni Malkin? Should Paul Skenes pitch in the World Baseball Classic? Should Pitt fire Jeff Capel at season's end?

Part of the Climbing Grief Fund's mission is to expand the conversation around grief, loss, and trauma in the climbing community, and interrogate narratives that can be unhelpful to healing. In this episode, we unpack some of the unique challenges faced by caregivers after a loved one gets into a climbing accident, and explore why it can be helpful for caregivers to get mental health support too, not just those directly impacted by an accident. In section one, we have the CGF Therapeutic Manager, Trevor Davis, on the podcast, to talk about the scope of the Climbing Grief Fund, as well as its ongoing expansion and impact. Trevor chats with Jay Louie, a therapist in the CGF Directory and a CGF committee member, about these topics, and together they frame the conversation about why CGF resources are for caregivers too. In section two, we dive deeper with Jay, as they share some case studies to illustrate the very human experiences of caregiving after climbing accidents. They share these case studies from their professional experience as a therapist and AMGA Guide, described anonymously, with permission from their clients. In section three, we sat down with Andrew Kirchner, an incredible supporter of the Climbing Grief Fund and a survivor of a climbing accident himself. Andrew describes his accident, and how it made him realize that the accident didn't just happen to him, it had a dramatic impact on his loved ones as well. Andrew also elaborates on what motivated him to make the Edwards-Ginsburg fund, and thereby support the CGF's work so generously. *** The magic of the Climbing Grief Fund is that its all about climbers supporting climbers in the darkest of times. If you find, as you listen, that you could utilize these resources for yourself, please learn more or apply at americanalpineclub.org/grieffund. If you are inspired to help your fellow climbers, you can donate to the CGF at americanalpineclub.org/donate. Now through March 10, 2026, your donation will be doubled through a matching program with the Edwards-Ginsburg Fund.
Does sharing your faith feel like a heavy burden you have to carry entirely on your own? You aren't the only one wondering why evangelism feels so isolating. For many of us, the pressure to "save" our friends or have all the right answers creates a crushing weight that makes us want to give up before we even start.In this video, we explore a paradigm shift that changes everything: What if you weren't meant to do this alone? The modern view of evangelism often paints a picture of a solo mission you against the world. But the reality is that the most effective way to introduce people to Jesus isn't through a perfect apologetics argument, but through community.We unpack the concept of "merging your universes" taking your Christian friends and your non-Christian friends and simply letting them hang out. It sounds simple, but it removes the awkwardness and pressure of forced spiritual conversations. instead of being a solo salesperson for the Gospel, you become a connector. You'll learn why community is often the missing ingredient in sharing your faith and how inviting people into your existing friendships can be more powerful than any sermon.If you are tired of feeling like you're failing at the Great Commission, this episode is for you. It's time to stop carrying the burden alone and start seeing evangelism as a team sport.

Riley Bryant sits down with Dr. Deborah Wituski, a 20-year veteran of the CIA and an early contributor to the emerging field of private sector intelligence services. In an increasingly globalized economy, what happens when profit motives intersect with national security imperatives? How can traditional intelligence agencies adapt to incorporate these new perspectives coming out of the private sector? Drawing on case studies, policy frameworks, and her own experience, Dr. Wituski tells us about her jump from government to Google, the similarities and differences between public and private sector intelligence work, and what the future of these parallel industries may hold. This podcast was produced by the Philip Merrill Center for Strategic Studies at Johns Hopkins SAIS.Researched, hosted, and edited by Riley Bryant
Sports Court w/ our friends from Edgar Snyder & Associates. With Konnor Griffin mashing the baseball today, the guys asked if any prospect in baseball could make a legal push to be on a big-league roster earlier than they should? After Sidney Crosby was hurt in the Olympics, what legal standing is there when it comes to pro players taking part in international competition? Rob told us baseball and hockey are different, and that each player in MLB has to have insurance policies in-place before they play in something like the World Baseball Classic. He added that players that don't get insured could lose everything if they get injured.

Sports Court w/ our friends from Edgar Snyder & Associates. Today, Chris asked Nick and Rob about the NFL vs NFLPA battle in regards to the ‘report cards' that have been made public over the last few years. What are the consequences here and could the players fight back to make the reports public again? Tony Clark resigned from his lead role for the players in Major League Baseball as the league quickly approaches a potential work stoppage. Was there more behind him quitting? Will this lead to a salary cap and salary floor in baseball?

Sports Court w/ our friends from Edgar Snyder & Associates. The guys wanted to get the lawyer viewpoint on the legal battle between DK Metcalf and the fan from the Lions game in December. How much money is at-risk for Metcalf in this suit? Rob and Nick told the guys that in Michigan, you can set the monetary amount when filing a lawsuit, but you can't do that in Pennsylvania. Did the fan target Metcalf, and more importantly, can that be proven? The discussion turned to future losses and what Metcalf can lose in this. Why did the fan include Ford Field in the lawsuit? Rob and Nick went through the next steps in the process. There could be 6-8 months before witnesses even get questioned.
NFL Network suggested on Super Bowl Sunday that Aaron Rodgers returning to Pittsburgh is increasing by the day. Is this what we want? How long will we have to wait around this time? In what spot would we want Rodgers back? He put up good numbers against mostly bad teams or bad defenses. He was bad in the biggest games. Can the Steelers win a Super Bowl with that? Do fans want the Steelers to run it back in 2026? Sports Court w/ our friends from Edgar Snyder & Associates.

Ever feel like your journey map leaves teams on the sidelines? In this episode, we explore a practical way to make customer journey mapping more inclusive without losing the customer's voice. We reframe journey mapping as a verb—one that engages cross-functional partners, incorporates frontline insight, and is grounded in customer data—while keeping the focus on real customer moments like triggers, actions, emotions, and outcomes (not org chart debates).From there, we introduce service blueprinting as the execution layer that turns insight into action. You'll hear how blueprinting clarifies what happens front stage and backstage, and how people, processes, systems, and tools support—or hinder—the experience you're trying to deliver.Along the way, we share practical tips for building alignment and shared ownership: inviting stakeholders who felt left out, defining goals that cut across teams, and tying internal decisions to customer outcomes. We also discuss the constraints and gaps that surface when teams blueprint together, plus the kinds of measurable improvements you can expect. Whether you're refreshing an existing map or pairing it with your first blueprint, this conversation offers grounded guidance for creating clarity, momentum, and more connected CX work.Have a question you want us to tackle next?

Work with me: https://jointherainmakers.com/choosetime?utm_src=organicyoutube Get your free demo: https://jointherainmakers.com/demo?utm_src=organicyoutube ------- At 3:02AM, I woke up with a question that refused to let go: "What do I actually want from my life?" Not the "Instagram answer." Not the "entrepreneur answer." Not the "be a good husband, father, provider" answer. The real one. At 37, I found myself replaying every decision, every success, every sacrifice… wondering how I got here and whether the direction I was sprinting toward was even the right one anymore. Doubt can chain you down. But if you're honest enough to face it… it can also become a compass. So I went downstairs. Opened my journal. And poured everything out. What came out turned into the deepest personal reset I've ever had. 16 powerful "dials" I now use to recalibrate my life, my business, my relationships, my purpose. In this video, I'm sharing them. Not polished. Not performative. Not "guru wisdom." Just the raw, unfiltered reflections of an entrepreneur, husband, father, and human trying to build a life that actually feels meaningful… not just impressive. You'll hear me talk about: Why "success" nearly cost me my peace and my family presence The brutal truth about imbalance, burnout, and ambition How I define purpose now (and how totally different it is) Legacy, love, leadership, and why impact matters more than metrics Why harmony matters more than "work-life balance" Gratitude, impermanence, joy, and being truly alive And why the world doesn't need more "successful" people… It needs more grounded, fulfilled, fully-present ones. If you've ever woken up in the middle of the night questioning your direction… If you're "doing great" externally but wrestling internally… If you want a life that feels aligned, not just impressive… This one's for you. __ In this video: 00:00 — The 3:02AM Question That Changed Everything 01:06 — Turning Chaos Into Clarity (16 Life "Dials") 01:12 — The One Question That Unraveled a Thousand Others 01:45 — My Notes, My North Star: The "Dials" That Guide My Life 02:06 — When Success Crashes Into Reality 03:07 — Finally Asking: "What Do I Truly Want?" 03:35 — Why Fulfillment Doesn't Live in Your Bank Account 04:43 — Meaning Isn't Found.

Most teams treat conflict as something to avoid. In this episode, I sit down with Yaprak Gültay Davison to talk about why that instinct backfires. We explore how healthy disagreement builds trust, improves decision-making, and helps teams move faster... without blowing things up.What if the tension you're trying to avoid at work is actually the thing your team needs most?Most design teams say they value collaboration, empathy, and alignment, but rarely talk about disagreement. In this conversation, I sat down with Yaprak Davison, Head of Design at Goodnotes and former design leader at Spotify, to unpack why conflict isn't a threat to good teams. It's often the foundation of trust.Yaprak shares how designers are trained to optimize for harmony, and how that instinct can quietly erode clarity, slow teams down, and lead to decisions being made without the right people in the room. We talk about the real signals of unaddressed conflict—delayed replies, passive agreement, quiet misalignment—and why silence often causes more damage than open disagreement ever could.We also dig into what it actually looks like to lead through conflict: naming tension early, separating facts from the stories we tell ourselves, and turning disagreement into a co-design moment rather than a power struggle. If you've ever felt stuck “keeping the peace” while things quietly fall apart, this episode will change how you think about conflict and your role in it.Helpful Links:• Connect with Yaprak on LinkedIn• Subscribe to “Leadership as Craft”Topics:• 02:49 – Diving into Conflict in Teams• 03:18 – Guest Introduction: YRA Davidson• 04:25 – The Role of Conflict in Design• 05:45 – Managing Conflict in Design Teams• 11:31 – Coaching and Cultural Differences• 22:21 – Building Trust Through Conflict• 25:21 – Scaling Teams and Systems• 30:53 – Exploring the Concept of Followership• 32:31 – Leadership as a Team Sport• 33:40 – Balancing Leadership and Craft• 35:43 – Building High-Performing Remote Teams• 39:40 – Handling Remote Conflict• 41:46 – Personal Insights and Advice• 52:51 – Final Thoughts and Resources—Thanks for listening!

Sermon by Jake Blair on January 4, 2026. Key scripture: Ephesians 4:11-14 What if the deep transformation you long for isn't found in another resolution, but in a slow, steady life of following Jesus together?
Listen to the full episode: https://mindpumppodcast.com/2575-raising-resilient-children-with-jen-cohen/ Team sports aren't just about physical fitness - they're a masterclass in life preparation. In this Fitness Friday excerpt from my Mind Pump Podcast conversation, we dive into why putting your kids in team sports between ages 3-10 is absolutely critical for their development. We discuss how sports serve as a microcosm of life, teaching kids essential lessons about failure, merit-based performance, and working with difficult people. From learning that someone will always be better than you to discovering natural leadership qualities, sports provide irreplaceable real-world education that no classroom can replicate. Tune in to discover why the "everybody wins" mentality is robbing children of crucial life lessons and how modern parenting trends are creating a generation unprepared for real-world challenges. What we discuss: Why Team Sports Are Essential Between Ages 3-10 The Dangerous Rise of "Everybody Wins" Culture in Youth Sports How Sports Teach Kids That Someone Will Always Be Better Why Parents Are Ruining Sports by Praising Talent Over Effort The Problem with Moving Kids to "Easier" Teams How NIL Deals Are Destroying Loyalty in College Sports Why Sports Are Practice for the Game of Life The Lost Art of Sitting on the Bench and Supporting Teammates How to Use Sports to Build Natural Leadership Skills Thank you to our sponsor: Momentous: Shop this link and use code Jen for 20% off Therasage: Head over to therasage.com and use code Be Bold for 15% off TruNiagen: Head over to truniagen.com and use code HUSTLE20 to get $20 off any purchase over $100.
