We've been conditioned to see our needs as inconvenient, to shrink ourselves, to avoid asking for help until we're at a breaking point. But community care isn't about convenience; it's about compassion. In this episode, Caitlin Liz Fisher explores what it means to allow ourselves to have nice things—to believe we are worthy of care, comfort, and support. Through a vulnerable story about buying new glasses and unlearning shame around “being expensive,” Caitlin invites us to reflect on the deep conditioning many of us carry about being a “burden.” “Don't talk to people who act like your burdens are a huge inconvenience to them. We are here, in this human life, to be a little bit of a burden to other people — that's part of being alive. That's what community care is: showing up and doing something even if you don't really want to, because it matters, because it's important, because people deserve the help.” - Caitlin Liz FisherPS - We're not meant to do life alone. Ask for help. Offer help. Be a little bit of a burden—and let that be okay. That's how community care works. That's how we heal!What We Explore in This EpisodeThe internalized shame of being “too expensive” or “a burden”How family dynamics and scarcity mindsets shape our self-worthWhy it's hard for many of us to accept care or spend money on ourselvesCommunity care as an antidote to shameDoing things before it becomes an emergency — emotionally, physically, or financially

Rob Wilson is a performance educator with over twenty years of experience helping people build durable, high-functioning bodies and minds. He joins us on The Ready State Podcast to unpack the uncomfortable truth about performance: it's not free. In this powerful conversation with Kelly and Juliet Starrett, Rob dives into the real price of pushing your limits, why sleep is non-negotiable, and how to reframe “selfish” self-care as the foundation for showing up better in every area of life.

In this episode, Debi Robinson talks with Dr. Jenny Tufenkian, a naturopathic doctor specializing in long COVID, chronic fatigue, and environmental medicine. Together, they explore the deep connections between energy depletion, inflammation, and bone loss — and how true healing begins from within.Dr. Jenny explains how post-viral illness and stress can disrupt your body's terrain — the internal environment that determines how well you absorb nutrients, manage inflammation, and rebuild your bones. You'll learn why fatigue isn't just about energy; it's a message from your body that something deeper needs attention.If you've been struggling with exhaustion, brain fog, or unexplained bone loss, this episode offers clarity, compassion, and tools to help you recover your vitality and strength naturally.What You'll Learn in This EpisodeThe connection between long COVID, chronic fatigue, and bone healthHow inflammation and acidity weaken your body's terrain and bone-building capacityWhy stress hormones like cortisol can dissolve bone tissueThe importance of detoxification and restoring energy flowHow to rebuild your body's foundation using naturopathic and lifestyle toolsAction StepsListen to your body. Fatigue is a signal that your system is out of balance, not just a lack of willpower.Support detox pathways. Focus on hydration, fiber-rich foods, and gentle movement to support the liver and lymphatic system.Reduce inflammation. Choose anti-inflammatory foods, manage stress, and prioritize quality sleep.Rebuild from within. Consider working with a holistic or functional practitioner to address underlying causes like gut health and adrenal fatigue.Stay patient. Healing deep imbalances takes time—start where you are, and be consistent with self-care practices.Visit Dr. Jenny Tufenkian's work and resources: www.drjennytufenkian.comListen to more episodes: Stronger Bones Lifestyle PodcastLearn how to heal your bones and gut from the inside out: Healthy Gut, Healthy Bones ProgramDebi's TakeawayYour energy is your body's currency — and when you're constantly spending it on stress, inflammation, or recovery from illness, there's little left for building strong bones. Healing starts when you support your body's terrain — your gut, your detox systems, your emotional balance — so your bones can thrive again.

Not every discomfort is harm. That's where this conversation begins—with the messy, necessary process of learning to tell the difference between what's uncomfortable and what's truly harmful.

How Scientists and PMs Really Build: Dr. Christina Agapakis with Rina AlexinA synthetic biologist who became a creative and marketing leader? Yes, please. In this kickoff to Season 4, Dr. Christina Agapakis (Founder, Oscillator; former SVP Creative & Marketing at Ginkgo Bioworks) joins Productside CEO Rina Alexin to explore the messy, very human loop between research, product, and story. From lab benches to launch plans, we talk silos, funding models, and the art of “staying with the trouble” when the real world refuses your neat roadmap.Key Topics Discussed in This EpisodeThe science ↔ product tangle (not a pipeline):Christina explains why discovery isn't a tidy flowchart—it's a back-and-forth hairball of hypotheses, constraints, and collaboration that looks suspiciously like modern product discovery. Funding, impact, and translating research:Who pays shapes what gets built. We dig into grants, incentives, and new models (e.g., focused research orgs) that bridge lab breakthroughs to useful products without pretending it's frictionless.Personas for molecules vs. people:Scientists often model cells; PMs model users. Christina makes the case for bringing real human context into upstream work—and why clear stories beat sterile slides when stakes are high.Why Listen to This Episode?In this thought-provoking episode, you'll gain: A fresh mental model for discovery that treats research like product (small bets, fast feedback). Tactics for working across silos without losing craft (or outcome). Language to translate messy reality into narratives stakeholders actually act on. A reminder to “stay with the trouble” when ambiguity spikes and why that's where impact lives. If you build things for humans (or with humans), this conversation will sharpen your process and your story.Related ResourcesCheck out these additional tools and resources to add to your PM belt: Productside Resource Library More Productside Stories Podcast Episodes Explore Productside Courses

In this episode, I'm joined again by my co-host, Demetrius (“D") Parker, as we continue our Coworker Chemistry series. Last time, we looked at the high-energy types (3, 7, and 8). This week, we shift gears to talk about another powerful trio: Types 1, 2, and 6, commonly known as the dutiful types.These three strategies bring such a strong sense of responsibility and group cohesion to their work and teams, though they each express it in different ways. In our conversation, we covered:Type 1 (Striving to Feel Perfect): integrity, high standards, and the pressure of an inner critic.Type 2 (Striving to Feel Connected): empathy, connection, and the challenge of people-pleasing.Type 6 (Striving to Feel Secure): loyalty, risk-awareness, and the courage it takes to ask hard questions.We also dig into how these types can complement one another, where they might clash, and what growth looks like for each...from turning “the way” into “a way,” to setting clear boundaries, to transforming fear into collaboration.Whether you identify with a 1, 2, or 6 (or work with someone who does), I think you'll find this episode full of both practical insights and real-life examples you can take back to your team.What You'll Hear in This EpisodeThe strengths and blind spots of Types 1, 2, and 6.Why these types are often the backbone of teams.Stories and analogies (including the “Mafia boss” and the six's “BS meter”) that bring these strategies to life.Practical tips for collaboration, leadership, and personal growth.And stay tuned! Our next episode will cover the remaining group: Types 4, 5, and 9.D and I both facilitate workshops on behalf of Enneagram MBA.

Send us a textWhat happens when a wife no longer feels safe, protected, or defended by her husband?In today's episode, we dive into the heartbreaking story of a woman who left her husband—not because he cheated, not because he failed financially, but because he refused to stand up for her when it mattered most.This episode uncovers one of the biggest mistakes many husbands make without realizing it: failing to protect their wives emotionally, spiritually, and relationally. And for wives, it's a reminder that your longing to feel protected is not weakness—it's biblical design.Through this raw story and biblical truth, we'll explore why protection is as vital to a wife as provision, why silence can feel like betrayal, and what you can do if you're feeling unseen or unprotected in your marriage.

You can outsource your email. You can delegate your schedule.But you can't outsource your capacity.And if you don't expand what you can hold, your business will break you before it ever breaks through.This episode is your wake-up call if you're doing all the right things—scaling, optimizing, hiring—but still feel like you're about to snap. Because growth isn't about doing more. It's about holding more.In this solo episode, George Bryant peels back the curtain on a topic most entrepreneurs avoid: burnout. But not the kind you think. Burnout isn't a sign you need more time or tactics—it's a signal your capacity is maxed.George walks you through the 4 types of entrepreneurial capacity—mental, emotional, spiritual, and physical—and how each one is the real bottleneck behind your business. You'll learn how to build capacity from the inside out so you can lead with peace, purpose, and power—without breaking under pressure.What You'll Learn in This EpisodeThe real reason burnout happens (and why it's not about your to-do list).Why your business will never outgrow your capacity.How to expand your mental, emotional, spiritual, and physical resilience.The myth of “doing more” and the power of being more.How to conduct a personal capacity audit—and what to do with the results. Key Takeaways✔️Burnout is not a workload issue—it's a capacity issue.✔️You can't scale a business beyond your ability to hold what it creates.✔️The 4 buckets of capacity: Mental (clarity), Emotional (resilience), Spiritual (faith/surrender), and Physical (energy).✔️Self-honesty, boundaries, stillness, and prioritization are non-negotiable tools.✔️Growth requires becoming the person who can hold the result—not just doing more. Timestamp Highlights[00:00] – Powerful myth-busting insight about growth and the trap of “doing more.”[04:24] – The myth of more. Why more strategy, delegation, and tactics won't grow your business if your internal capacity is capped.[08:48] – Understanding capacity.

George shares his personal view on faith and how spirituality forms the foundation of his capacity.[17:30] – Letting go of comfort. Why clinging to what got you here can hold you back from what's next.[21:54] – What cravings reveal. How our internal environment influences the food, habits, and energy we gravitate toward.[26:12] – Intentional flexing. Growth is about strengthening capacity across all dimensions, not just scaling strategies.[30:36] – Protecting your priorities. Whether physical, mental, or emotional, you must safeguard the capacity that fuels your life and business. Your Challenge This Week:Audit your mental, emotional, spiritual, and physical buckets.Ask: Where am I maxed out or leaking capacity?Pick ONE bucket and commit to a daily practice to expand it.Because what you build is only as strong as what you can hold.Feeling maxed out but not sure where to start?Book a free call at mindofgeorge.com and say “CAPACITY” in the message to get personalized support from George.Join The Alliance – The Relationship Beats Algorithms™ community for entrepreneurs scaling with connection.Apply for 1:1 Coaching – Ready to grow your business with sustainability, impact, and ease?
