Have you ever replayed a conversation over and over in your mind? Maybe it was something your partner said. A text that felt off. A moment at work. A look on someone's face. Suddenly your mind is looping, analyzing, judging, and trying to solve something that never seems to resolve. Today's conversation with science writer Donna Jackson Nakazawa is about rumination—what many of us experience as overthinking, thought spirals, or getting mentally stuck. Donna brings together powerful neuroscience, personal story, and practical tools to help us understand why our minds loop, what those loops are trying to show us, and how we can begin to interrupt them with compassion and clarity. We explore: Why rumination is not random—and what it reveals The difference between productive reflection and a mental loop that leaves you feeling worse Why social media can trigger rumination so quickly Donna's MIST framework for stopping the spiral This conversation is especially for you if you've ever thought, Why can't I just let this go? or Why am I still thinking about this?

Microsoft's earnings report went out last week, and the company spent a lot on AI in the quarter. Microsoft updates its customers on what it's done to address Windows 11 problems. And Xbox kills Copilot plans for the console. Microsoft Earnings Microsoft announced that it earned a net income of $31.8 billion on revenues of $82.9 billion in the previous quarter. Windows: 1.6 billion monthly active devices, a focus on quality after years of enshittification - but revenues from PC makers were down 2 percent YOY. Microsoft Edge "has taken share for 20 consecutive quarters," which isn't supported by the evidence. Bing "monthly active users reached one billion for the first time," raising questions about how Microsoft defines the term "user." Xbox: "The team is recommitting to our core fans and players, and shaping the future of play," new records for monthly active Xbox users and game streaming hours. AI: Capex spending in the quarter was $32 billion, down from previous quarter as previously described, but up 49 percent YOY. More earnings Apple, Google/Alphabet, and Amazon. AMD - Up because of AI datacenter. Qualcomm - Plus, Intel just hired away a key Qualcomm exec. Windows Microsoft shares an update about what it's done to address Windows 11 pain points so far. Marcus Ash is one of the good guys. Some of this is happening in Insider, some is rolling out to retail. Windows Insider Program and Windows Update improvements we discussed last week - two primary channels in WIP now. Simplifying AI experiences - fewer Copilot icons (Notepad, etc.). File Explorer improvements - performance, fewer hangs, better polish and consistency. Widgets - Feed will be off by default, fewer interruptions, no hover activate. System performance - Smaller memory footprint, more aggressive RAM restoration, and more. Soon: Taskbar updates, Start updates, and more to share at Build in June. Week D update arrives with a peek at May's Patch Tuesday. Major: Xbox Mode, AI agents on the Taskbar are the first two big features of 2026. Minor: Also adds File Explorer improvements, new haptic feedback effects, touch keyboard improvements, and more. Shocking new report that Microsoft Edge is incredibly insecure should surprise no one. AI Microsoft Agent 365 Platform is out of preview, supports local AI agents and Copilot Cowork Agent arrives on mobile with plugin support. Microsoft launches a Legal AI Agent in Word. Apple's plan to open up to multiple third-party AIs is a good one. Canonical's plan to add AI to Ubuntu is also good, but you're never going to believe what happened next. Xbox and Gaming Asha Sharma reorgs Xbox, kills Copilot on the console. Forza Horizon 6, more coming to Game Pass in May. Xbox April Update is out with updates for all platforms. Next Call of Duty will not ship on Xbox One, PS4. Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition is coming to the Mac for some reason. And finally, with the Supreme Court refusing to block the implementation of the ruling in Epic v. Apple, Microsoft's Xbox game store for mobile is one step closer to happening.

Claire, one suggestion. Can we hear more interviews from slower runners? (Not those that say I'm slow but still run 8 min miles. I'm talking back of the pack 11-15 min pace.) Mel@Mal ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Mental Strength! I found The Planted Runner blog and podcast when I was in the midst of training for my first half marathon this past spring. Coach Claire's information on a variety of running topics have really helped as a beginner; I especially love the mental strength minute segment! I never thought that running would be a part of my life, but I started a running habit in order to combat postpartum depression. I'm so thankful to have this podcast as a resource so that I can continue to train in an intelligent way, with a lower chance of injury. In the fall, I am planning to run my second half marathon. I am so excited to start my Half Marathon training plan from The Planted Runner in a few weeks.

What if all the mistakes you've made, the shame you've carried and the terrible way you have treated yourself, are all part of the journey back to who you truly are. My ex-husband always used to say, "Sometimes we have to go to the wrong place to get to the right place” and he was right. And no, the irony is not lost on me ;) The newest episode of Heal with Kelly is near and dear to my heart because I sit down with my beautiful friend Jamie Lynn Sigler — beloved for her role as Meadow Soprano in HBO's The Soprano's. We dive into her powerful new book out this week called And So It Is... A Memoir of Acceptance and Hope. Jamie is incredibly brave and raw in her writing. She shares with radical honesty and humility and her story rocked me to my core while lighting me up with hope and compassion. Jamie has lived with Multiple Sclerosis (and Lyme) for 25 years. For most of that time, she hid it — from directors, from co-stars, from the world. Before her diagnosis, she hid an eating disorder and a suffocating shame that wasn't even hers. She shares what those years of silence cost her, and how finally telling the truth, the most courageous act one can do, actually set her free. I cried so many times reading Jamie's new book. I saw myself in so much of her story and her journey is truly gripping, heartbreaking, and full of miracles. I could not recommend this book more. In this episode we go deep on the inner voice that intends to protect us but turns out to be far more harmful than any external enemy. We discuss the way shame cripples our sense of worth and what it actually looks like to stop performing and start living. Jamie opens up about her son Beau's near-death experience — and the message he brought back that became her lighthouse. She shares the moment she fell to her knees in a hospital hallway and felt, for the first time, that she was not alone. And she talks about what it means to finally walk into a room and say: this is how I move. This is who I am. This conversation is about surrender and breakthrough, plant medicine and prayer, generational healing and the stories we carry in our bodies. It's a reminder that healing is never about fixing what's broken — it's about remembering who you are beneath everything you've been told to hide. Key Moments You'll Love ✨ :

Peter Mantas returns to the show. This is a follow up episode to the episode discussing uniQure. It's timely given the amount of media attention Marty Makary is getting; in part because of uniQure. Describing his trip on his Substack: "I flew to Washington D.C. on Friday (and drove to Baltimore on Saturday) with a thesis. I left with something harder to quantify, not a different thesis exactly, but a materially deeper understanding of the terrain on which this thesis will ultimately be resolved, and a set of experiences that I think are worth documenting carefully, both for subscribers who are following AMT-130 and for anyone who wants to understand what is actually at stake in this regulatory fight."We hope you find the episode interesting and informative.Sponsorship InformationThank you to Fiscal.ai for sponsoring the show.

Ashok didn't start as your usual tech guy; he started as a physical therapist treating veterans at VA hospitals, traveling through small-town America, working everywhere from ICUs to homehealth. And everywhere he went, he saw the same issue: people either had to come to you or you had to go to them, and in rural areas, services were just too far away. Skip to 2017, Ashok and his wife (also a physical therapist) are watching TV when a commercial for virtual mental health therapy comes on. They look at each other and ask: "Why doesn't this exist for physical therapy?" Everyone said it couldn't work (the word itself is physical therapy, right?), but Ashok realized most of PT could be replicated virtually. No hospitals would pilot it, no payment model existed, then the pandemic hit, and what seemed impossible, became essential. These days, Ashok's working with major health systems like Providence Health, and building AI-powered clinical documentation tools that are actually adopted by clinicians.

Rickey Smiley is a nationally beloved stand-up comedian, award-winning syndicated radio host, television personality, bestselling author, and one of the most authentic voices in entertainment today. Born and raised in Birmingham, Alabama, Rickey first captured America's attention through his legendary prank phone calls and breakout performances on BET's Comic View before building a media empire that includes The Rickey Smiley Morning Show, heard in over 70 cities nationwide. A two-time Marconi Award winner, Rickey has starred in multiple television series and specials, including his critically acclaimed Hulu comedy special Foolish. Beyond the laughs, Rickey is a devoted father, grandfather, mentor, and man of deep faith who uses his platform to uplift communities and inspire others. His bestselling memoir, Sideshow: Living with Loss and Moving Forward with Faith, chronicles his journey through unimaginable grief—including the loss of his eldest son Brandon—and stands as a powerful testament to resilience, service, and the healing power of purpose. Takeaways:Give Your Kids What You Had, Not What You Didn't: Rickey Smiley is unapologetic about raising his children and grandchildren with the same discipline, structure, and old-fashioned home training his grandparents gave him. No negotiations, no iPads as pacifiers, no coddling. In a world where everything right is being called wrong and everything wrong is being called right, Rickey stands firm—because the foundation that built him still works. If you liked who you became, give your kids the blueprint that made you, not the things you missed out on.Men, Put Your Ego Down and Get Help: Rickey Smiley performed comedy shows while crying backstage. He went back on the radio three days after burying his son because eight million listeners needed him. But behind closed doors, he sat on the steps of his kitchen and cried for days. This conversation is a direct message to men—you cannot be too big, too proud, or too successful to grieve, to seek therapy, and to talk about what you are carrying. Rickey's honesty about his own mental health journey, and Mick's personal testimony about how the book Sideshow pushed him into therapy, is the kind of real talk that saves lives.Help People, Protect Your Peace, and Pay It Forward: Rickey's “because” is simple—he wakes up every day to serve, to bless, and to make somebody's life better. But he also delivers a truth that every giver needs to hear: not everybody you help is going to appreciate it. Out of twenty people you pour into, maybe six or seven will say thank you. Be prepared for the disappointment, protect your peace fiercely, and keep pouring anyway—because that is the assignment. Our grandparents and teachers made personal sacrifices so we could have what we have, and the only proper response is to pay it forward. Sound Bytes:“I told God a long time ago, hey, if you get me out of this rut right here, I promise you, I'll serve you to the day I die and try to make somebody life better because of the things that you bless me with.” “You literally on stage, doing joke, doing comedy, performing while you crying on the inside.” “I think that what my grandparents and my parents did for me, it worked for me. It was critical to my development. And if it worked for me, it should work for my kids, because it still works.” Connect & Discover Rickey:Instagram: @rickeysmileyofficialFacebook: @RickeySmileyOfficialYouTube: @RickeySmileyOfficialTikTok: @rickeysmileydigitalWebsite: RickeySmiley.comShow: The Rickey Smiley Morning ShowBook: Sideshow: Living with Loss and Moving Forward with Faith

It's Thursday, May 7, 2026. If you started the year with a list of big, audacious goals and now, in early May, you're looking at that list wondering what happened—welcome to the club. I'm getting honest today about my own "slippage" over the last few weeks. Between training for the Traka bike race, falling down the AI rabbit hole, and restarting Spanish lessons, my podcast and book progress took a backseat. Today, we talk about how to stop the guilt spiral and perform a "Priority Audit" to decide what stays, what goes, and what gets postponed.I hope you enjoy it! As always you can learn more and connect with me on my website (andystorch.com) or LinkedIn. And you can find my books - Own Your Career Own Your Life and Own Your Brand, Own Your Career - on Amazon.

This one is fresh. Michael Hyun literally just quit his software engineering job at Amazon this month, a role paying $300,000 a year, and real estate is what made it possible. Over the last six years, Michael built a $4.5 million portfolio while working full-time in tech, quietly stacking properties and creating enough passive income to make the leap. Now at 29, he's all in. In this episode, Michael breaks down exactly how he did it, the strategy, the mindset, and what most high earners get wrong when they try to turn a paycheck into long-term wealth. If you've ever thought about what it would take to actually walk away from your W-2, this is the episode you need to hear.

What if you could only use 3 detailing products for every car you work on? No shelves full of chemicals. No 20-step process. Just 3 products to handle almost everything. In this video, I break down the exact 3 products I would choose—and more importantly, WHY—based on versatility, efficiency, and real-world results. This isn't about the "perfect" setup… it's about the smartest setup. Because the truth is… most detailers are overcomplicating things. If you understand how to choose products that can do multiple jobs, you can simplify your process, save time, and still get incredible results.

Eddy Chiang is Co-founder and CEO of Moment Energy, a company building commercial-scale energy storage systems from repurposed electric vehicle batteries. By testing, certifying, and remanufacturing second-life battery modules, Moment Energy is creating lower-cost alternatives to new lithium-ion storage while extending battery lifespans by decades. In this episode of Inevitable, Chiang explains how a growing wave of retired EV batteries is reshaping the energy storage market—making recycling alone economically unviable. The conversation covers the technical and regulatory challenges of certifying second-life systems, how Moment Energy became the first company to achieve full UL certification, and why safety, not cost, is the real barrier to adoption. We also explore how distributed battery systems can replace traditional grid upgrades, why hyperscaler demand is accelerating deployment, and how Moment Energy is positioning storage not just as a product, but as long-term infrastructure designed to last 100 years. MCJ is a three-time investor in Moment Energy. The company just closed a $40M Series B co-led by Evok Innovations and the Canadian Growth Fund — with the participation of Amazon, Liberty Mutual, Voyager and our fund. Episode recorded on April 14, 2026 (Published on May 5, 2026). In this episode, we cover: (0:00) An overview of Moment Energy (2:47) Moment Energy's market evolution (6:37) What certification means and why it's the hardest part (10:22) Are second-life batteries actually safe?

In this episode, Eric and Jeff hang out with Perry Maughmer—a returning guest and one of their all-time favorite people—for an honest, practical (and sometimes funny) discussion about what it really means to grow as a person and a leader.What's Inside This Episode?Perry's New Book: Why He Wrote It for Himself - Perry tells us all about his newest book, The Recurrence Effect. But get this—he wrote it for himself first, doesn't care if it sells, and purposely didn't jam it with easy answers. His goal? Help you realize you have what you need already inside, even if that means sitting with the messy stuff and more ambiguity than you're used to.Why Copying Someone Else's Life Hacks Never Works - Ever get sucked into those “guaranteed” success frameworks online? Perry has zero time for that. He explains that just because a system or trick worked for one person doesn't mean it'll fit you. It's like wearing someone else's custom suit—a weird fit at best!Leadership: It's a Doing Thing, Not a Title - There's a super cool take here—Perry doesn't think “leader” should be a title. It should be about what you do, not who you are. The best leaders care about people, not KPIs. Results follow from that—not the other way around!How Companies Get People Development Wrong - Why do so many places take their top performer and make them a manager? Spoiler: it almost never works out how they hope. There's some real talk about how real people development takes YEARS of intentional change. No overnight hacks here.Curiosity vs. Judgment (and Why Saying "I Don't Know" Rocks) - Perry drops wisdom about choosing curiosity over judgment at work. Admitting you don't know everything actually makes you a better teammate and leader. Seriously—being curious opens up so many more possibilities.AI Is Eating Up Technical Skills—Now What? - Worried robots are taking your job? Perry says the real winners will be people who love to learn, not just people with mad technical skills. The key is staying adaptable and being comfortable with change and surprise.The Real Treasure is Inside - All the themes circle back to one core idea: stop forever searching for solutions outside yourself. Take ownership, look inward (even if it's scary), and realize you have what you need to keep growing and leading. It's not a quick fix, but it's more real.Real Moments & LaughsKicking off with some Bigfoot and Canadian toque jokesHonest opinions about why editing a book is “horrendous” and marketing can feel fakeWhy company learning should be voluntary and nobody should get dinged for “opting out”Featured Book:The Recurrence Effect by Perry Maughmer – Find it on Amazon and wherever you get your books.Get More from Perry:Podcast (he's starting it up again—no set routine, just genuine thoughts when he has them)Substack newsletter: “Inside the Return”Join the Conversation!Had any “aha!” moments? Ever felt like you were supposed to have life all figured out—when you really just needed some new questions? We want to hear from you:Have you ever chased outside answers when you maybe needed to look inside?How are you handling all the changes with tech and work?In each episode, Jeff and Eric will talk about what emotional intelligence, or understanding your emotions, can do for you in your daily and work life.

In this episode, our guest shares how his men's underwear company grew to 8-figures using Amazon, TikTok Live, Shopify, Reddit, product drops, and a customer-driven brand strategy. ► Watch The Podcasts On Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@Helium10SeriousSellersPodcast?sub_confirmation=1 ► Instagram: instagram.com/serioussellerspodcast ► Free Amazon Seller Chrome Extension: https://h10.me/extension ► Sign Up For Helium 10: https://h10.me/signup (Use SSP10 To Save 10% For Life) ► Learn How To Sell on Amazon: https://h10.me/ft In this episode, Bradley Sutton sits down with Jared Mortensen, founder of Real Men Apparel Company. Jared's journey is anything but traditional. After growing up in a small town in Southern Utah, spending 20 years in aerospace, and later helping scale an e-commerce pet product company, he made an unexpected leap into men's underwear. What started as a niche product idea became an eight-figure brand built around solving an underserved problem in men's apparel: better fit, comfort, and size inclusivity. Jared shares how he used research, Amazon reviews, and Helium 10 tools to identify a specific customer pain point and launch into a highly competitive category dominated by billion-dollar brands. Instead of immediately competing for broad keywords like “men's underwear,” he focused on long-tail keywords, underserved customer segments, and highly specific product benefits. Real Men Apparel Company hit $1 million in sales within its first calendar year, eventually growing to $8.5 million in 2025 across Amazon, Shopify, and TikTok. Jared also explains how a 40% return customer rate, strong branded search, and memorable branding helped the company gain momentum in a crowded market. A major focus of the episode is Jared's unique TikTok Live, Shopify, and Reddit strategy. TikTok Live began as a necessity during a serious cash crunch in late 2023, but it quickly became one of the brand's most powerful growth engines. Jared explains how going live with just an iPhone, ring lights, and a simple setup helped save the business, generate fast cash flow, and create a major halo effect on Amazon and Shopify. He also shares how the brand uses TikTok content across Meta, builds email and SMS lists, works with over 2,000 affiliates, and uses live streams to build a loyal community where customers interact directly with the founder and even influence future products. Jared also breaks down how his Reddit strategy has become a long-term brand-building and AI search play. Rather than creating a subreddit focused solely on his own brand, he built a broader men's underwear review community where customers, competitors, and shoppers can discuss products openly. He explains how this transparency builds credibility, drives high-intent traffic to Shopify, and helps position the brand in conversations that may influence future AI recommendations. The episode closes with Jared's plans to grow from $11 million to $12 million in annual sales, expand Shopify, continue weekly limited-product drops, and deepen supplier relationships. For Amazon, TikTok Shop, and Shopify sellers, Jared's story is a reminder that, even in a crowded category, the right niche, product, community, and content engine can create a brand customers keep coming back to.

You have a listing. That means you have an entire neighborhood of potential sellers watching every move you make. Most agents put up the sign and wait. The agents who win listings walk away with the next deal before the first one closes. In this episode, Tim and Julie Harris break down their strategic open house prospecting system — a proven, step-by-step approach to generating listing leads before, during, and after every open house you hold. This is not a discussion about digital marketing, social media funnels, or automated lead generation. This is a direct and practical guide to the one form of lead generation that AI cannot replicate: face-to-face, voice-to-voice contact with real homeowners in real neighborhoods. You will learn why choosing a move-up price range home for your open house can triple your total commission potential. You will learn how to door knock the neighborhood two to four days before the event, what to say, and how to position yourself as the market expert worth trusting. You will learn how to execute a Neighbors-Only pre-showing invitation strategy that separates you from every other agent in your market. You will learn how to use WhatsApp QR codes to capture contact information instantly, how to use AI to generate real-time CMAs in the field, and how to write a hyperlocal community book using AI that positions you as the definitive authority in your neighborhood — listed on Amazon, referenced by AI search tools, and available to hand to every prospect you meet. Tim and Julie also address the broader market reality: every digital shortcut agents have relied on is being rapidly automated. The only protected ground left is the human contact that AI cannot replace. Open houses, done correctly and consistently, are one of the most efficient ways to build that ground and own it. If you are serious about generating listings and building a durable real estate business in 2026, this episode is required listening.

Lifang He, brand strategist, and former leader at Apple, Amazon, Ring, and Bloomberg, explores why brand strategy and product strategy must be inseparable for modern tech success, drawing on firsthand experience launching global products like the iPhone and Amazon Pharmacy. The conversation covers common branding misconceptions in tech, lessons from Apple's integrated product‑brand philosophy, how Ring's rebrand unlocked long‑term growth, what Nike's $28 billion misstep teaches leaders about short‑term performance, and why strong brand identity is a critical differentiator in an AI‑driven, oversaturated market.Mentioned in this episode:This episode is presented by Greg Mickelsen and "Best Practice or Pitfall?"

Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary
The evidentiary landscape across these three cases reveals patterns that your questions have been tracking with precision. From forensic trace analysis in the D4VD case to chain of custody disputes in Idaho to excluded alternative suspect evidence in Delphi, the investigative details expose alleged systemic gaps at every level.In the D4VD case, prosecutors say LAPD's Trace Analysis Unit found plastic from an inflatable pool lodged in wounds on Celeste Rivas Hernandez's remains. Amazon and Postmates records allegedly tie the purchase of that pool, along with chainsaws, a body bag, and a burn cage, to David Anthony Burke under the alias Victoria Mendez. Burke has pleaded not guilty and maintains he did not cause Celeste's death.In Idaho, the defense forensic scientist who reviewed the Ka-Bar knife sheath alleges the evidence bag was documented retroactively and that the chain of custody was legally insufficient. The FBI confirmed that a hair found near one of the victims does not belong to Bryan Kohberger. It has reportedly never been fully processed.In Delphi, Richard Allen's reply brief details what the defense says the jury was denied: the composite sketch, testimony challenging bullet-matching evidence, audio from Allen's solitary confinement, the Kegan Kline catfish connection, and evidence pointing to alternative suspects whose interviews were allegedly recorded over and whose weapons were never collected.Robin Dreeke and Tony Brueski take listener questions across all three cases, connecting the forensic, investigative, and procedural threads your messages keep pulling.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

"If we all came together to solve the problem, to solve the issue, and work together — those are the areas that we would see the most improvement."

The kittens are coming. We know it every spring, but this year, Shelter Animals Count has the data to prove exactly how big the wave will be — and which organizations will feel it hardest. If your shelter or rescue isn't already ramping up fosters, supplies, and community outreach, this episode is your signal to start today. Tori Fugate is the Director of Communications for Shelter Animals Count — now a program of the ASPCA — and she has spent more than a decade at the intersection of animal welfare and strategic communications. Before joining SAC, she was Chief Communications Officer at KC Pet Project, where she helped transform one of the country's most visible municipal shelters into a national model for innovative, lifesaving work. Tori joins host Stacy LeBaron to unpack the latest findings from SAC's 2025 Annual Data Report — including the striking reality that 59% of all cats entering shelters in 2025 were kittens under five months of age. They dig into how to use zip-code-level intake data to target foster recruitment and community outreach before the floodgates open, and why creative thinking — think paper collars with QR codes to crowdfund spay/neuter costs — may be just as important as resources and policy. They also tackle one of the industry's most alarming trends: only 23% of cats entering shelters in 2025 arrived already spayed or neutered, nearly 3% below pre-pandemic levels. Tori explains how SAC's groundbreaking Altered Status at Intake Report is helping organizations understand where access-to-care gaps are widest — and what shelter communicators can do right now to start closing them.

It's Tuesday, May 5, 2026. I just got back from Girona after finishing the Traka 100, the biggest gravel bike race in Europe. When I signed up months ago, 100 kilometers (60 miles) felt like an impossible stretch for a "sprinter" like me. Today, I'm breaking down the raw experience of the race, how I shaved nearly an hour off my practice time in just one week, and why you should sign up for that "scary" challenge—even if you aren't sure you can finish.I hope you enjoy it!

This week in the podcast, we interviewed the exceptional career coach and advisor Richa Bansal from Pink Careers. "I am lucky to have this job." That sentence just cost you $50,000. Maybe more. Here's what most coaches miss: the same mindset that keeps corporate professionals undervaluing themselves is the exact same mindset that keeps you undercharging for your programs. You think "I'm lucky they want to work with me" instead of "they're lucky to work with me." You put potential clients on a pedestal. You make yourself feel small. You negotiate from scarcity instead of abundance. And then you wonder why you can't charge what you're worth. In this episode of The Expert Edge, I sit down with Richa Bansal, founder of Pink Careers, who's built a seven-figure business teaching women how to step into leadership roles and get paid what they're worth. Richa breaks down the exact mindset shifts that unlock everything from career moves to sales conversations to scaling your business. We talk about why mindset is a strategy (not just a nice-to-have), how to fight for the prospect instead of just closing the sale, and what it takes to scale past seven figures when you've been a successful solopreneur with great margins. What you'll learn: → The biggest mindset shift: From "I'm lucky to have this" to "They're lucky to have me" (and how this shift changes everything from negotiations to pricing) → Why mindset is a strategy - You can't tactics your way out of believing you're not good enough → Richa's sales philosophy: Fight for the prospect's future, not just for the sale (when you care more about transformation than commission, sales becomes service) → How to scale past seven figures without losing profit margins or service quality (and why growth means letting go of control) → Why women (and many coaches) put clients on a pedestal and make themselves feel small (and how that creates imposter syndrome) → The continuum from passive to arrogant (and why women almost never overshoot into arrogance when making this shift) Links Richa refers to on the episode: Her Career Masterclass link: https://rise.pinkcareers.com/rp-masterclass-live Connect directly with Richa on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/richabansal10/ Real insights from the episode: How Richa went from senior leadership at Amazon to building Pink Careers and crossing seven figures Why she was almost always the only woman in leadership roles (oil and gas, Amazon's operational leadership) The mission to help one million women step into leadership roles and close the gender gap in the C-suite Why "always be the buyer" is one of the most powerful sales mindsets you can adopt How Richa runs the largest women's leadership program across the federal government of Canada The tactical, no-fluff approach that gets clients 30%, 40%, sometimes 50% pay increases Why your internal purpose shifts once you cross a certain revenue threshold Join our next Speak to Convert Masterclass.

Episode 2804- In this wide-ranging and practically grounded episode, Ted and Austin Broer connect manipulated science, Amazon's logistics monopoly, Appalachian lithium discovery, vitamin D and Alzheimer's prevention, vaccine research gaps, and the collapse of electric vehicle consumer confidence into a broadcast that challenges listeners to think critically about the institutions managing their health, their economy, and their daily lives. The episode opens with Austin delivering a detailed critique of a fluoride study being promoted by mainstream media as definitive proof of fluoride safety, walking through the methodological failures that render its conclusions scientifically worthless while Ted connects fluoride's continued presence in American water to Rothschild media control and the striking fact that Israel, the world's primary supplier of hydrofluorosilicic acid, does not fluoridate its own water supply.
