The Democratic Party shift did not happen overnight. The Democratic Party shift was the result of a decades-long ideological capture. In this episode, Professor Nick Giordano breaks down the dramatic transformation of the Democratic Party. From the common-sense Clinton-era positions on border security and national sovereignty to today's Democratic Socialist influence, this episode exposes how the party shifted from mainstream policies to an activist-driven agenda. Heading into the 2026 midterms, this episode analyzes the Three Pillars of the modern Democratic strategy: Anti-Trump mobilization, government expansion, and identity politics. It also examines the Texas Senate primary and the rise of figures like James Talarico to illustrate how far the political goalposts have moved. What You'll Learn: The Clinton vs. Talarico Contrast: Why 90s Democrats sound like conservatives by today's standards. The DSA Takeover: How the Democratic Socialists of America moved from the fringe to the center of Democratic Party power. Biological Reality vs. Rhetoric: How the Texas Senate race reflects the party's continued shift toward radical identity politics. The 2026 Midterm Warning: Why Republican complacency and rising gas prices from the Iran conflict could create a "perfect storm" for the Left. Governing vs. Grievance: Why bigger government became a substitute for solving actual American problems.
Hiring is a gamble, but you don't have to play with blinders on. This week, we welcome back Tim Germann, Chief Commercial Officer at Carterra, to pull back the curtain on how he builds world-class commercial teams.

Key Takeaways: Execution, Visibility, and Financial Control: How Infios Solves Global Supply Chain Challenges In "Execution, Visibility, and Financial Control: How Infios Solves Global Supply Chain Challenges", Joe Lynch and Alan Rowlett, Corporate Vice President of Infios, discuss how unifying supply chain execution and financial data builds resilience. Visibility drives value. The "End-to-End" Rebrand: Infios represents a strategic unification of industry-leading tools (like MercuryGate TMS and Körber WMS) under one flag. The goal is to move beyond "handshake" visibility to true "order-to-cash" control, spanning the entirety of a product's global journey rather than just the final few days of transport. The Three Pillars of Supply Chain: Alan defines the core of any successful supply chain through three consistent threads that have remained unchanged since the 1980s: Execution (doing the work), Visibility (status and positioning), and Financials (the ultimate measure of winning or losing). Financial Control as the Ultimate Truth: A supply chain's success is ultimately validated by the CFO. Infios focuses on eliminating data inconsistencies between operations and finance, ensuring that freight spend, accruals, and internal ledgers align perfectly to prevent the "discrediting" of logistics data. The "Silent" ROI of Freight Audit: Freight Audit and Payment (FAP) isn't just about catching errors; it's about contract adherence. Infios helps shippers recover significant costs from "freight paid but not used" (like discarded parcel labels) and service failures (like shipments missing a guaranteed 8:00 AM window). Combating Sophisticated Freight Fraud: With the rise of AI-generated fake documentation and "check-interception" by organized cartels, Infios uses its integrated system to flag discrepancies—such as a carrier being tendered as "Company X" but submitting paperwork as "Company Y"—before the invoice is paid. Legacy Systems vs. Cloud Agility: Many global enterprises are "institutionalized" with on-premise mainframes. Alan argues that the transition to the cloud is no longer just about cost-cutting; it's about adaptability. Cloud-based architecture allows for "plug-and-play" integration of AI and data aggregators that on-premise systems simply can't support. Intelligent Connectivity as a Competitive Edge: The future belongs to organizations that unify physical movement with financial flow. By automating "low-value" manual audit drudgery, companies can elevate their staff from processing transactions to analyzing high-level freight spend trends and driving strategic value.

What if the ancient way of welcoming seekers is exactly what we're missing? When Dr. Chris Burgwald, Chancellor for the Diocese of Sioux Falls, and I dug into the roots of OCIA, it struck me how much wisdom we've left sitting on the shelf. The early Church knew how to walk with people—slowly, personally, lovingly—and somewhere along the line, we traded that for efficiency. Dr. Burgwald shows why returning to this ancient, relational way of forming disciples isn't nostalgia; it's the key to helping people truly encounter Jesus and find a home in His Church again. And what's amazing is that this shift doesn't just change the journey for newcomers—it transforms the entire parish. When we implement OCIA the way the Church actually envisions it, gifts surface, people step forward, and a culture of prayer and hospitality begins to grow. Communities rally around seekers, and in the process, everyone gets formed. One person's “yes” becomes an invitation for an entire parish to rediscover its mission.

SEASON: 6 EPISODE: 17Episode Overview:Welcome back to Becoming Preferred, the show where we deconstruct the strategies that help you become the preferred choice in a crowded marketplace.Now, we've all seen it: companies spending thousands on leadership retreats that result in a 'high' for three days and then… total stagnation. The missing piece isn't talent; it's resistance.Today, we are welcoming back, Mike Irving. Mike is the founder of Advanced Business Abilities, and he's cracked the code on 'Resistance Removal'—a framework that delivers tangible leadership results in weeks, not years.Today, Mike is pulling back the curtain on his Three Pillars for Success and revealing why communication is the ultimate foundation for developing a team of leaders, rather than a team of followers.Whether you're looking to sharpen your own edge or scale your team's performance, this episode is your roadmap. Join me now for my conversation with Mike Irving.Guest Bio: Mike Irving is the founder of Advanced Business Abilities, a coaching company designed for established business owners who know they're capable of more—but haven't yet found a support system that truly meets them where they are.With over two decades of leadership experience—from launching his first business at 21 to managing a national sales force of over 300—Mike understands the highs of entrepreneurial success and the hidden costs that often come with it: burnout, disconnection, and stalled progress.Frustrated by one-size-fits-all coaching programs that glossed over individual nuance, Mike set out to build something different. The result was Advanced Business Abilities: a coaching platform that combines deeply personal insight with practical, strategic execution.One of the unique aspects of ABA's methodology is the Success Predictor Profile—a proprietary tool backed by 50+ years of scientific research—that helps easily and efficiently identify a person's strengths, weaknesses, and blindspots and allows ABA to give business owners a custom blueprint for growth, performance, and alignment.Today, Mike works with owners leading teams of 5 or more, who are not just chasing revenue but want to lead with integrity, improve decision-making, and grow without sacrificing their health or values. His approach resonates with founders who are practical, values-driven, and actively investing in their long-term success.Whether he's coaching in a boardroom or speaking on a podcast, Mike brings a refreshingly honest, grounded voice to the leadership conversation—always focused on helping others do the work that actually works.Resource Links:Website: https://advancedbusinessabilities.com/Product Link: https://advancedbusinessabilities.com/individual-sales-coaching/Insight Gold Timestamps:02:34 We know the things that we should be doing, we just don't always do them05:04 I got to a place where there was enough pain that I was going, man, I don't know what to do05:54 We've got a diagnostic tool that I call the Predictor Profiles15:10 While I had a zero attention to detail, I also had a zero on patience16:34 If I don't change this about me...20:11 You are the king or the queen on the throne In your world20:56 Outwitting the Devil, in my opinion, is the best book Napoleon Hill ever wrote24:35 The education system that we've been through does not teach an individual how to think25:23 Resistance fundamentally sits in moments that we're unwilling to experience27:13 I call the framework the foundations of successful self-leadership29:26 How do you get people to start taking responsibility for their outcomes and results in life?32:13 The website is advancedbusinessabilities.com32:25 People can do that completely free of charge if they go to audit.advancedbusinessabilities.comConnect Socially:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/irvingmike/Business LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/advanced-business-abilities/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/AdvancedBusinessAbilities/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UChbg_ESzS4rqG-Ew_DJ_utAInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/advancedbusinessabilities/Email: mike.irving@advancedbusinessabilities.comSponsors: Rainmaker LeadGen Platform Demo: https://calendar.summit-learning.com/widget/booking/JKItVP7WErmCBjU2cCIxRainmaker Digital Solutions: https://www.rainmakerdigitalsolutions.com/
When lifelong churchgoers Sean Walsh and Don Roth dug deep into Scripture, original languages, and biblical chronology, they became convinced that much of mainstream Christianity rests on three major errors. In this episode, they join Robert Plank to unpack their book The Three Pillars of False Doctrine and explain why they believe the traditional Friday death / Sunday resurrection, the popular form of the Trinity doctrine, and the modern idea of church as a building or organization all fail the test of the Bible itself. Drawing on Don's work creating a day‑by‑day Biblical calendar from Genesis forward and Sean's “Unlock the Word” ministry, they walk through key passages on the Sabbath, the Godhead, and church, and show how translation choices and tradition have shaped what most believers assume is “just Christianity.” Rather than asking anyone to join a new denomination, Sean and Don challenge listeners to be Bereans checking every sermon, creed, and holiday against Scripture. They discuss why Christ's “three days and three nights” matters, how Ezekiel and Acts are commonly misread to support Sunday worship, and why knowing who the God of the Old Testament is changes how you read the entire Bible. If you've ever felt that certain doctrines didn't quite add up, this conversation and the resources at UnlockTheWord.com and BiblicalCalendarProof.com invite you to put your traditions on the table and let the Bible speak for itself. Quotes: “If your timeline for Christ doesn't fit three days and three nights, it's not the Scripture that needs to move it's your doctrine.” Don Roth “Church isn't a business or a building; Ecclesia is the people God has called out. If you think ‘church' is a place you go on Sunday, you've already missed the context.” Sean Walsh “When you finally read the Bible without defending your denomination, you discover how many ‘non‑negotiable' doctrines collapse under the weight of Scripture.” Sean Walsh Resources: Unlock the World THE 3 PILLARS OF FALSE DOCTRINE
Ep. 237 You can be successful, accomplished, and still feel like something inside you is out of alignment. In Part 5 of the Return to Self series, Maryann explores the deeper layer of healing many women overlook—spiritual alignment. This episode is not about religion or perfection. It's about slowing down long enough to reconnect your mind, body, and soul so you can experience real inner peace. Maryann shares how spiritual disconnection often shows up as constant overthinking, chronic tension in the body, or feeling successful but strangely unfulfilled.
“Honesty doesn't have to be brutal. Honesty can be compassionate. Honesty can be respectful.” -Dr. Cory NewmanEpisode OverviewIn this episode, host Dr. Jennifer Reid sits down with Dr. Cory Newman, PhD to explore how the core principles of cognitive behavioral therapy can be woven into our everyday communication with partners, friends, family, coworkers, and even ourselves. What begins as a conversation about therapy technique quickly becomes a practical guide to navigating disagreements, setting boundaries, and showing up more compassionately in all our relationships.Throughout the conversation, Dr. Reid draws connections to her book Guilt Free: Reclaiming Your Life from Unreasonable Expectations (Penguin Life, 2026), which examines how guilt—particularly for women—shapes our communication patterns, our willingness to set boundaries, and our capacity for self-compassion.15 Key Takeaways (Dr. Newman had so many life-changing recommendations, we wanted to make sure you could read about them even if you didn't have time to listen!)1. The Three Pillars of CBTDr. Newman describes CBT as resting on three foundational principles: * A supportive therapeutic alliance* A deep understanding of the patient's lived experience (including cultural and sociological factors)* The development of practical coping skills. These skills promote agency and problem-solving rather than hopelessness and helplessness.CBT Connection: The cognitive behavioral model emphasizes that thoughts, behaviors, and emotions are interconnected. By shifting how we think and what we do, we can change how we feel (Beck, 1979).2. Communication Is Both Internal and ExternalWe tend to think of communication as what we say to others, but Dr. Newman emphasizes that internal dialogue matters just as much. CBT helps people talk to themselves more compassionately, constructively, and hopefully. That same skill then translates outward into better interpersonal communication.He also distinguishes between expressive communication (how we speak) and receptive communication (how we listen), both of which are essential to healthy relationships.Guilt Free Connection: In Guilt Free, Dr. Reid explores how harsh internal dialogue, especially the relentless voice of “I should be doing more,” fuels excessive guilt. Learning to communicate with yourself compassionately is the first step toward breaking free from unreasonable expectations.3. Start with IntentEvery meaningful conversation benefits from a clear, positive intent: to boost morale, to connect, to offer something useful, to communicate understanding. Dr. Newman suggests that even outside of therapy, we can adopt the mindset that our goal in any interaction is to leave the other person, and the relationship, in a better state than when we started.CBT Connection: Intentional communication is a behavioral intervention. By deliberately choosing our communicative goals before speaking, we interrupt automatic patterns that often lead to conflict (Beck, 1995).4. Validity + Utility: The Two-Part Test for What We SayDr. Newman introduces a powerful filter: before speaking, ask whether your comment has both validity (is it truthful?) and utility (is it useful?). Truth alone can be harsh. He pushes back on the idea of “brutal honesty.”Guilt Free Connection: The validity-utility framework directly parallels the guilt equation in Guilt Free, where guilt = our expectations (whether fair or not) minus our perceived reality. Often, guilt-driven communication passes the validity test but fails the utility test. For example, we may say things out of obligation that don't help ourselves or others.5. Intent vs. Impact: Naming the MismatchSometimes people don't mean to cause harm, but their words land that way. Dr. Newman recommends naming the gap directly: “I don't think you're trying to put me down, but the message you're sending sounds like a put-down.” This approach acknowledges the other person's good faith while still making room for your experience.CBT Connection: Distinguishing between intent and impact is central to cognitive restructuring. Cognitive distortions like mind-reading and personalization often cause us to assume malicious intent where there is none (Burns, 1980).6. Seek to Understand Before Problem-SolvingWhen someone is in distress, the instinct is often to jump straight to fixing. Dr. Newman advises leading with empathy instead: “If I were thinking the way you're describing, I'd be a nervous wreck too.” Validate first, then gently offer alternative perspectives. Problem-solving is more effective once the person feels heard.Guilt Free Connection: Dr. Reid describes a pattern she sees frequently, which is people, especially women, catastrophizing about situations and layering guilt on top. The compassionate validation Dr. Newman describes is exactly the antidote: honor the feeling, question the expectation.7. Turn Complaints into RequestsAlmost any complaint can be reframed as a request, and requests are far easier to hear. Instead of “You never reply to my voicemail messages,” try: “I'd really appreciate hearing from you, even briefly. It's hard for me when I don't hear from you.”CBT Connection: This reframing technique is a classic behavioral strategy in CBT. Converting complaints into constructive requests shifts the dynamic from blame to collaboration (Gottman & Silver, 1999).Guilt Free Connection: Dr. Reid explores how maladaptive guilt can be manipulative, such as when guilt-tripping replaces genuine requests, and relationships can suffer. Assertive communication (making requests without guilting) is key to breaking that cycle.8. Silence Fills Vacuums with AssumptionsWhen we avoid communication to spare someone's feelings—say, not RSVPing to avoid disappointing a friend—we leave a vacuum that the other person fills with their own assumptions, which are usually worse than reality. Dr. Newman advises speaking the reality, even when it's uncomfortable, because silence invites personalization and catastrophizing.Guilt Free Connection: In Guilt Free, Dr. Reid identifies avoidance as a common guilt-driven behavior: we don't say no because we don't want to disappoint, but the silence itself creates a bigger problem. Communicating honestly, even imperfectly, is almost always better than disappearing.9. Beware All-or-Nothing Thinking in CommunicationDr. Newman applies one of CBT's most foundational concepts, challenging black-and-white thinking, to our communication habits. You don't have to choose between long silences and a 90-minute heart-to-heart. A quick text saying “Thinking of you” is a powerful middle ground. He calls these “random acts of kindness through text,” which are small gestures that send a meta-message of care.CBT Connection: All-or-nothing thinking is one of the most common cognitive distortions identified in CBT. Recognizing and challenging it opens up a range of behavioral options we might not have considered (Beck, 1976).10. Match the Medium to the MessageText messaging is ideal for quick logistics and small kindnesses, but it strips away tone of voice and body language. Dr. Newman shares a vivid example of a patient whose text “I don't care” (meaning “I don't mind”) sparked a major argument with his girlfriend. For emotional or complicated conversations, choose a medium with more cues, such as phone, video, or in person.His rule of thumb: The more emotional and the more complicated the topic, the more cues are needed.11. The Gottman 20-Minute RuleDrawing on research by John and Julie Gottman, Dr. Newman describes how physiological arousal (elevated heart rate, fight-or-flight activation) makes productive conversation impossible. The Gottmans recommend taking a break during heated arguments and not resuming until at least 20 minutes after your heart rate returns to baseline.Dr. Newman applies this to everyday life: if you receive a message that makes you angry, wait until you've calmed down before responding. Otherwise, frustration will leak through even your most careful words.CBT Connection: Self-monitoring of physiological arousal is a core CBT skill. The Gottman research demonstrates that behavioral interventions (taking a break) must precede cognitive interventions (discussing the issue) when the body is in a threat state.12. Resolve to Resolve—Not to WinDr. Newman highlights one of the most destructive communication patterns: trying to win an argument rather than resolve it. He references the devastating scene in the film Marriage Story where two characters escalate insults in an attempt to out-hurt each other. When the goal shifts from understanding to victory, everyone loses.CBT Connection: The belief “I must convince the other person I'm right” is a cognitive distortion that fuels conflict. CBT teaches that making your point respectfully is already a success. Change in the other person may come later, or not at all, and that's okay (Newman, 2014).13. Never Go to Bed Angry? Not So Fast.Both Dr. Reid and Dr. Newman agree that while the spirit of this advice is sound (don't harbor resentment) the literal application can be harmful. Insisting on resolving a conflict when one partner is exhausted is destructive. The person who needs to sleep should be honored. The meta-message is: don't stonewall, but do respect each other's limits. Use a placeholder: “I want to talk this through, but right now I can't yet.”Guilt Free Connection: This scenario is a guilt trap in action. The pressure to resolve everything immediately often comes from guilt (“A good partner wouldn't go to bed angry”). Dr. Reid's framework encourages questioning whether that expectation is fair and giving yourself permission to rest.14. Setting Boundaries Without GuiltWhen repeated attempts at respectful communication are met with resistance, such as the same pressure, the same guilt trips, it's appropriate to set a firm boundary. Dr. Newman advises doing so with care: “I'd like to talk to you, but not under these conditions. When you can show some respect for what I've said, let me know.” You can walk away from that interaction knowing you handled it with integrity.Guilt Free Connection: Dr. Reid identifies “hyper-accountability,”the belief that we can and should control other people's emotional experience, as a major driver of excessive guilt, especially for women. Letting go of the need to make everyone feel okay is essential to healthy boundary-setting.15. Say the Positive Things Out LoudDr. Newman closes with a deceptively simple but powerful reminder: don't keep positive thoughts to yourself. If you have a compliment, give it. If you feel affection, express it. And one of his favorite tips: talk positively about people behind their back. It often gets back to them and can shift the entire tone of your relationships.CBT Connection: Behavioral activation, which involves increasing positive interactions and reinforcement, is a foundational CBT technique for improving mood and strengthening relationships (Lewinsohn, 1974).Thanks for reading A Mind of Her Own!

This month, we are looking at the three pillars of life in form. Every day, I have conversations with people about the power of the mind to create an experience of being, and to completely transform at any stage. The more conversations I have, the more clear it becomes that there are three levers or pillars that play the role of creating our sense of existence. These three levers are attention, experience, and creation. So in this episode, we are looking at how together they combine to create the entirety of the experience of existence. What is covered: -How attention shapes our sense of existence-The lighthouse analogy and attention as a beam of reality-The fleeting nature of experience and its dependence on attention-The nature of experience as a momentary creation-Moving from control to acceptance of experiences-Understanding creation as the fundamental force of existence-How attention guides creation and content of experience-The realisation that all experiences are creative content-Embracing our unique role in the infinite play of existenceResources: -Sign up for the REAL Membership and experience the year of REAL self care: https://claredimond.simplero.com/page/640978 -Learn more about me and my work at https://claredimond.simplero.com/ -Find me on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/claredimondreal -Let's connect on LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/clare-dimond-b533007/ -Follow me on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/clare_v_dimond/
As consultants and coaches, we know trust is the foundation of any meaningful relationship. And it is especially true in the work we do with our clients. When clients trust us, everything changes. They open up. They share what is really going on. They accept feedback. They take risks. They implement our recommendations. That is when real transformation happens in their careers, businesses, and organizations. Without trust, even if we land the contract, the engagement quietly falls apart. Clients stay guarded. They hesitate. They hold back. The work never reaches its full potential. But here is the deeper question. What if trust does not begin in your discovery call? What if it begins long before that? In this episode, I explore the idea that trust is built at every touchpoint of your brand. Your website. Your messaging. Your positioning. The clarity of your expertise. The way you communicate your purpose. All of it either lowers anxiety and builds confidence, or creates subtle barriers to trust. And not just trust in you. Trust in themselves and their ability to create change. Joining me is Dr. J.B. Adams, executive development strategist and trust researcher, whose doctoral work focused specifically on what builds trust and what breaks it . Together, we unpack why branding is not about looking impressive. It is about creating safety. In This Episode, You'll Hear: Why trust is the real driver of successful consulting and coaching engagements, and why it starts long before the discovery call. The three core elements that build trust and how they apply directly to your brand. How vague positioning quietly erodes credibility, and why clear specialization instantly increases trust. The surprising lesson a skin cancer diagnosis taught me about branding, safety, and client anxiety. Why moving from order taker to strategic partner is essential if you want to build a brand that commands respect and long-term loyalty. If you are a consultant or coach who wants deeper client engagement, stronger results, and more powerful word of mouth, this conversation will shift how you think about your brand.

Are you clearly demonstrating expertise, integrity, and genuine care? Or are there subtle gaps that could be creating hesitation? Move from order taker to strategic partner: Consider where you might be saying yes out of habit instead of alignment.

Send a textA mid-level Director delivers an AI-generated presentation that looks flawless on the surface until the CEO starts asking real follow-up questions about implementation, trade-offs, and stakeholder impact. Suddenly, the limits of AI are exposed. It can draft the slides and script the talking points, but it cannot supply judgment, relationship capital, or strategic instinct. That gap is where promotions are decided and where replacements are too. What this episode is aboutAI is democratizing competence: anyone can use tools to generate strategic memos, slide decks, and data visualizations that look “senior.” Being technically excellent is no longer a differentiator; it is the new baseline. At the same time, major consulting firms are cutting thousands of roles as AI absorbs work that used to belong to junior and mid-level professionals, underscoring how vulnerable execution-only careers have become. If you are only using AI to get through your task list faster, you are still operating in execution mode. In this episode, Kele shows you how to use AI to clear the noise so you can double down on what AI cannot replicate: your Presence, your Perspective, and your Positioning, what she calls the Three Pillars of your AI-Proof Leadership Brand.What you'll learnWhy AI is raising the floor on competence and turning technical skills into the starting line, not the finish line, for your career.The real leadership moment behind the “perfect” AI-generated presentation and what actually separates who gets promoted from who gets replaced.What your leadership brand really is (not your job title or LinkedIn headline) and how it shows up when you are not in the room.The Three Pillars of Your AI-Proof Leadership Brand, Presence, Perspective, and Positioning, and why AI fundamentally cannot replicate them.Practical ways to strengthen your Presence and Perspective so you are known for how you think, decide, and show up in high-stakes moments.How to intentionally position yourself and your AI use so your value is visible, strategic, and clearly differentiated in an AI-driven workplace.Mentioned in this episodeIgnite Your Leadership Power Accelerator: Stop executing and start architecting your move to senior leadership.

Restore Your Life: The Darien Guide to Healing Peripheral Neuropathy Claim your free copy of the Precision Nerve Reset Program- click hereThe Precision Nerve Reset program, developed by Neuropathy@CoreHealth, is a comprehensive, multi-modal treatment strategy designed to address the root causes of peripheral neuropathy rather than simply masking its symptoms. Moving away from traditional reliance on pain medications, which often serve as temporary stop-gaps, the program utilizes a scientifically grounded roadmap to revitalize the nervous system and restore quality of life for those suffering from numbness, chronic pain, and instability.The Three Pillars of Nerve HealthThe foundation of the Precision Nerve Reset program is built upon three essential "pillars" required for nerve regeneration:Metabolic Fueling: This pillar focuses on providing the body with the necessary clinical-grade nutritional support (such as NeurX-TF) to create an optimal physiological environment for healing.Structural Repair: This involves using advanced regenerative technologies to physically address the damage within the nervous system and surrounding tissues.Neurological Re-education: This stage focuses on stimulating the nerves to restore their normal firing thresholds, ensuring they communicate correctly with the brain.Advanced Clinical TechnologiesA hallmark of the program is its integration of cutting-edge, clinical-grade technologies. These tools are used in-office to kickstart the healing process:Shockwave Therapy: Used to trigger the body's natural repair mechanisms and improve blood flow to damaged areas.Infrared Light Therapy: This technology helps dilate blood vessels, ensuring that a consistent supply of oxygen and nutrients reaches the peripheral nerves on a daily basis.Stimpod NMS460: A specialized device used for non-invasive neuromodulation to help reset and "re-educate" damaged nerves.Dr. Brian McKay a chiropractor at Core Health DarienThis podcast welcomes your feedback here are several ways to reach out to me.

Gravity - The Digital Agency Power Up : Weekly shows for digital marketing agency owners.
Building a powerful personal brand as a leader isn't just about what you say online; it's about the culture you create within your organisation. When your team feels seen, valued, and connected to a larger purpose, that positive culture becomes your most significant competitive advantage. But how do you move from simply having values on a poster to truly living them? In this episode, I talk with my friend and best selling author of 'Culture Pays', Margaret Brown, a leadership expert with 35 years of experience, about the art and science of building a culture that pays.We explored several key areas during our conversation:✳️ The Three Pillars of Leadership: Margaret explained that successful leadership requires a balance of business acumen, technical excellence, and-the often-neglected pillar-values and behaviours. We discussed why the EQ side of leadership is the true differentiator that separates thriving organisations from the rest.✳️ The Real Cost of a Bad Culture: We looked at the hard numbers behind employee disengagement. With "quiet quitting" costing the global economy an estimated $8.9 trillion, it's clear that culture has a direct impact on the bottom line. Margaret shared a case study of how one company reduced its attrition rate from 12% to under 1% by focusing on its culture.✳️ A Framework for Transformation: Margaret introduced her "Five Ls" of leadership-Listen, Learn, Lead, Leverage, and Live by your values. This model provides a practical process for leaders who want to understand the blockers in their organisation and inspire their teams to do their best work.Here are three actions you can take this week based on our discussion:✳️ Conduct a Listening Tour: Don't wait for formal surveys. Actively seek feedback from your employees, partners, and stakeholders. Ask them what's holding them back and what they need to succeed.✳️ Practice Visible Leadership: Find small but consistent ways to connect with your team and show you care. It could be as simple as knowing the name of the person who brings the coffee or starting a "Good News Monday" meeting to celebrate weekly wins.✳️ Audit Your Values: Look at your official company values and then honestly assess whether they are reflected in the daily experiences of your team. If there's a gap, start a conversation about how to close it.More about Margaret Brown : https://www.margaretbrownconsulting.com/free-chapter/---(00:00) Introduction(01:42) Welcome Margaret Brown(03:04) Are Leaders Born or Made?(06:51) The Three Pillars of Leadership(10:07) Company Culture and Purpose(13:31) Leading with Vision and Purpose(17:10) Living Your Company Values(21:34) Belonging in a Post-Pandemic World(24:12) The Staggering Cost of 'Quiet Quitting'(28:58) The Importance of Visible Leadership(33:26) Connecting with Margaret and Her Book 'Culture Pays'(35:00) Conclusion----Get your copy of my Personal Brand Business BlueprintIt's the FREE roadmap to starting, scaling or just fixing your expert business.www.amplifyme.agency/roadmap----Subscribe to my Youtube!!

Former guest and longtime friend John Amodeo joins Allen and Thom to advocate “gentle presence” 9 making ourselves available to the full range of what we're experiencing in the moment, whether pleasure and pain. People are afraid of their emotions - “If I start crying, when will I stop?” The greater danger, in our experience, is the suppression of emotion. We also touch on processing failure and mistakes, cautioning against blame. When we get stuck in blame, we don't learn and grow from our experiences.

In this episode, Dr. Zonzie McLaurin explores the concept of legacy, emphasizing that it is not merely what one leaves behind but how one lives and impacts others throughout their life. She outlines three foundational pillars for building a lasting legacy: pouring into people intentionally, creating something that can stand without you, and living your values out loud. Dr. McLaurin encourages listeners to reflect on their current legacy-building efforts and to take actionable steps towards intentional legacy creation.TakeawaysLegacy is about what you activate in others.Your resume reflects what you did; your legacy reflects who you were.Pouring into people creates a ripple effect of impact.Building something that can stand without you is crucial for legacy.Living your values consistently is key to a powerful legacy.Legacy is built in everyday moments, not just significant achievements.You can start building your legacy right now, with every decision.Investing in others is a long-term commitment to legacy.Your legacy is shaped by how you treat others, regardless of their status.Don't leave your legacy to chance; be intentional about it.Sound Bites"Live your values out loud.""I refuse to leave mine to chance.""You can start right now, today."Chapters00:00 The Essence of Legacy04:20 Three Pillars of Lasting Legacy10:13 Living Your Values Out Loud13:49 Building Your Legacy Intentionally

If you break an arm, the path to recovery is clear, and you have a visible cast to show why you can't "help move a couch". But when it comes to mental health, there is often no clear story, no X-ray, and no obvious timeline for healing. In this final message of our series, "Light in the Pit: Faith through Depression and Anxiety," we look at the heavy reality of life in the darkness and how God meets us there.In this sermon, you will discover:• The Complexity of the Pit: Why depression is often "polygenetic"—where genetics "load the gun" and environment "pulls the trigger". We explore how neurotransmitters like serotonin and dopamine affect our homeostasis and motivation, making even a simple "to-do list" feel insurmountable.• The "To-Do List" Trap: Why telling someone in a depressive episode to "just pray" or "just read your Bible" can feel like an impossible mountain to climb, and how to offer physical care and love instead of spiritual cliches.• Biblical Heroes in the Dark: A look at the "grandparents' diaries" of faith—King David, Job, Jonah, and Jeremiah—who all experienced moments of melancholy, turmoil, and even a desire to die.• Elijah's "Greatest Day" to "Darkest Night": How the prophet Elijah moved from the high point of fire on Mount Carmel to a "pit" of exhaustion and isolation in a cave, begging God to take his life.• God's Holistic Care: See how God restores Elijah not by lecturing him, but by providing sleep, food, physical touch, and eventually, a "gentle whisper".• The Three Pillars of Recovery: Why the combination of seeing light, finding community, and having a sense of purpose is vital for walking out of the pit.Depression may make you feel abandoned, but the Bible reminds us that you are never alone. Jesus Himself entered the "deepest darkness"—suffering the weight of sin and true separation from God—so that He could reach into your pit and pull you into the light.Whether you are in the pit today or walking alongside someone who is, find hope in a Savior who goes all the way to the darkness to bring you home.

Deborah Visconi, CEO of Bergen New Bridge Medical Center was one of the first healthcare CEOs to sign the Heart of Safety Declaration of Principles, which expands the definition of care team safety to include psychological and emotional safety, dignity and inclusion, and physical safety. In this episode of Caring Greatly, podcast host Liz Boehm talks with Deb about what it means to lead across the three pillars of care team safety at the fourth largest publicly owned hospital in the United States. For Deb, it starts with human-centered leadership that creates a culture of transparency and trust. For more than 30 years Deb has provided visionary leadership to hospitals and healthcare systems across the New York and New Jersey metropolitan region. In 2017, she joined Bergen New Bridge and has transformed the 933-bed acute and long-term care hospital into a community asset and destination medical center in New Jersey. Deb is a visionary leader with a passion for elevating patient and care team experiences, leading with a focus on compassion, consistency and quality. Her entrepreneurial style and strategic planning expertise has enabled her to navigate highly complex environments with creativity and poise to expand programs, improve services and enhance provider relations. As a Latinx hospital leader, Deb understands the unique issues and needs of underserved communities, which she has prioritized in the hospital's community health needs assessment process and its ongoing outreach efforts. This work led to the hospital's development of the first LGBTQ Wellness Center in Northern New Jersey. And in 2018, to increase care access to the 20,000 Bergen County veterans, the medical center became a Veterans Community Care Provider. Driven by service, Deb is an active community volunteer and board member, serving on several local, state and national boards for healthcare associations, executive leadership organizations, universities and more. Her leadership skills, stewardship and numerous accomplishments have earned her and Bergen New Bridge many awards and industry accolades. Deborah Visconi is a leader who cares greatly.

In this episode, Mark Cardone and Theron Feidt dive into the concept of "Quick Wins." The duo discusses how to close the gap between having a great idea and actually executing it. Whether you are a perfectionist struggling with "analysis paralysis" or a visionary with a mile-long to-do list, this episode provides a framework to stop thinking and start doing. The Three Pillars of Immediate Action 1. The 24-Hour Micro-Action To prevent "idea decay," you must commit to a tangible action within 24 hours of having a new idea. Identify the First Domino: Don't try to flesh out the entire concept. Find the one small step that gets the ball rolling. Avoid the Research Trap: Research is important, but it often becomes a form of procrastination. Don't let AI or Google searches keep you from taking the first step. 2. Leverage the "Do It Badly" Rule Perfectionism is the enemy of progress. This rule encourages you to embrace Version 0.01 rather than waiting for Version 1.0. Lower the Barrier to Entry: Make the start so easy it's impossible to say no (e.g., five pushups instead of a full gym hour). Iterate Based on Feedback: You can't improve what doesn't exist. Launching quickly allows you to get real-world feedback and pivot as needed. 3. Create an Environment of Immediacy Your environment should pull you toward action, not push you away with friction. The 2-Minute Rule: If the setup for a task takes more than two minutes, the mental effort to start becomes exponentially higher. Keep your "tools" ready to go. The Go/No-Go Filter: Not every idea is gold. Quickly filter your ideas: if it's a "Go," hit the 24-hour rule. If it's a "No-Go," file it away and stop thinking about it. Public Accountability: Share your goals with a partner or coach. Hearing your own excuses out loud often reveals how ridiculous they are. Quick Reference Guide Concept Key Takeaway Idea Decay The longer you wait to act, the less likely you are to do it. Analysis Paralysis Overthinking leads to stagnation; action leads to clarity. The First Domino Focus only on the very next step to build momentum. Accountability Consistency is easier when someone is watching. "When you hear yourself make your excuses to someone else, you realize how ridiculous they sound most of the time." Ready to start?

[00:00] Introduction: The Power of Podcasting for BusinessesThis session is the third installment in a comprehensive series exploring podcasting strategies for local, regional, national, and international businesses. The central argument is that a podcast is more than just a marketing tool; when paired with a business, it becomes a win-win engine for growth. The fundamental mission of any business podcast is to educate and inform its audience, providing value that fosters loyalty and repeat engagement. However, before a business can effectively monetize its content, it must first establish a solid, discoverable presence within the vast podcasting ecosystem.2. [02:15] Foundational SEO: Is Your Podcast Discoverable?Monetization is impossible if your target audience cannot find your show. The first and most critical step for any business podcaster is to verify that their show is listed and discoverable across the podcast ecosystem. This foundational presence is the bedrock upon which all growth and revenue strategies are built. You can use the following free tools to check your podcast's visibility:• pod.link• ivy.fm• listennotes.comOnce you've confirmed your podcast is registered and accessible, you can begin to implement the core monetization strategies that this discoverability enables.3. [04:30] Three Pillars of Monetization: An OverviewThe world of podcast monetization can be complex and overwhelming. To simplify the process, this episode focuses on three primary methods that form the foundation of a sustainable revenue strategy. By understanding these core pillars, you can choose the path that best aligns with your business goals and audience. The three monetization models are:1. Advertisements2. Sponsorships3. SubscriptionsThe effectiveness of these strategies is often determined by a crucial technical decision made at the very beginning of the podcasting journey: the choice of a hosting platform.4. [06:00] Strategic Decision 1: Choosing Your Hosting PlatformSelecting a podcast host is not merely a technical detail; it is a strategic business decision that directly impacts your ability to generate revenue. It is crucial to choose a platform that is IAB (Interactive Advertising Bureau) certified, as this is often a prerequisite for receiving ads from major networks. Your hosting platform manages your RSS (Really Simple Syndication) feed, which is the technology responsible for distributing your episodes to directories like Apple Podcasts and Spotify. This RSS feed is the gateway to monetization, and it contains a surprisingly powerful and often overlooked setting that directly impacts your national reach: the language selection.5. [08:45] The Underrated National SEO Tactic: Language SelectionSmall technical settings can have an outsized impact on audience reach, and the language selection within your RSS feed is a prime example for national businesses. Correctly setting your podcast's language codec is a powerful and underrated SEO tactic. For a national business operating in the United States, for instance, setting the language to English, United States signals to algorithms that your content is specifically relevant to that national audience. This simple choice places your show "within that bracket in the algorithm," because as the speaker emphasizes, "nation and language go together."6. [12:10] The 2026 Strategy: From Fleeting Reach to Lasting IntentIn a world of short-term social media metrics, the key to long-term success is building durable, evergreen assets. While a social media post can become "obsolete tomorrow," a podcast episode focused on search intent can serve an audience for years to come. The strategic goal for 2026 and beyond is to shift focus from impressions and reach to intent. As illustrated by the "how to tie a tie" analogy, intent-driven content provides a solution at the exact moment a person needs it, creating a powerful and valuable connection that builds trust and authority.7. [15:30] Data-Driven Monetization: Using Analytics to Find OpportunityMonetization should never be based on guesswork. Podcast analytics provide the data necessary to uncover specific, actionable opportunities within your listener base. By analyzing your listener data, a national business can move from broad assumptions to targeted strategies. Your analytics can answer critical questions like:• Which are the top 5 cities listening to your show?• Which states, zip codes, counties, or districts have the most listeners?• What day of the week and time of day generate the most engagement?This data is invaluable. It allows a business to strategically partner with influencers in high-engagement cities, target sponsorships to specific regions, or schedule episode releases for maximum impact, turning insights into income.8. [18:00] Monetization Models In-Depth: Profit vs. AccessibilityThe best monetization model depends on your business's goals, specifically the balance between maximizing audience access and maximizing profit margins. Each of the three primary models offers a different trade-off. While a business can choose any model, they can also be viewed as a strategic progression: using advertisements to build broad awareness, leveraging that audience for targeted sponsorships, and finally converting the most dedicated listeners into high-value subscribers.Advertisements• Accessibility: High• Profit: Low• CPM: ~$10 - $30• Analysis: This model is ideal for building broad brand awareness. While direct profit is lower, the high accessibility generates significant activity and gets your brand name in front of the largest possible audience.Sponsorships• Accessibility: Low• Profit: Moderate• CPM: ~$25 - $50 (with rates around 40−50 being for highly targeted, premium placements)• Analysis: Sponsorships are more targeted and context-driven, focusing on a specific audience or niche. Because the partnership is more direct and relevant to the listener, the profit potential is higher than with general advertisements.Subscriptions• Accessibility: Varies (requires a private offering)• Profit: High potential• Mechanism: This model is typically executed by offering exclusive bonus content through a private RSS feed, which is separate from the public feed that distributes to apps like Apple and Spotify. A subscription can unlock access to a private community, a members-only forum, a swag bag, or exclusive meetups, creating a high-value offering for your most dedicated listeners.9. [24:00] Content in Action: Podcast Formats & SEO ChecklistSuccessful podcasting requires a deliberate approach to both the creative format of your content and the technical SEO that ensures it gets discovered. Mastering these elements will position your podcast for maximum impact and growth.Podcast Formats to Consider: ◦ Solo (Monologue) ◦ Interview ◦ Co-host ◦ Roundtable (three or more people) ◦ Theme / FacelessEssential Podcast SEO Checklist: ◦ Podcast Title ◦ Author Name ◦ Podcast Description ◦ Episode Title ◦ Episode Description ◦ Podcast Art Cover ◦ Episode Art CoverBy optimizing these foundational elements, you ensure that every episode you produce has the best possible chance of reaching its intended audience and contributing to your business's bottom line.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Episode 4 of Doing Well with Diabetes Season 2 features Kerry Murphy, wife and mother to multiple people with type 1 diabetes and founder of Follow T1Ds, who explains how her long, layered exposure to T1D—from her sister-in-law and husband to her niece and daughter—pushed her from terrified observer to frontline advocate. She describes the collision between modern diabetes tech (CGMs, pumps, data-driven care) and school systems still operating on 1990s protocols, culminating in nurses refusing to follow CGM data during the school day. After discovering Department of Justice rulings that treating CGM follow as a reasonable ADA accommodation applies nationwide, she built Follow T1Ds around three demands: follow T1D CGMs, follow parent input, and follow federal law. The conversation covers how parents can move from raw fear and frustration to strategic advocacy, why labeling kids “non-compliant” ignores context and equity, and why school nurses are often the only line of real safety for some students. Kerry's long-term aim is systems change so that parents don't have to become de facto lawyers and policy experts just to keep their kids safe at school.

This special episode of WarDocs celebrates the 125th anniversary of the Army Nurse Corps by featuring four distinguished commanders: Colonel Margaret Berryman, Colonel Crystal Belew, Colonel Sarah Eccleston, and Colonel Briana Perata. Each guest shares her personal journey from commissioning to leading complex medical formations, highlighting how their foundational experiences as a nurse prepared them for the rigors of command. Colonel Berryman introduces her "Five Ps" leadership philosophy—People, Purpose, Preparation, Partnership, and Performance—emphasizing that people are the military's greatest competitive advantage. Colonel Belew discusses the importance of proactive thinking learned in the operating room and her philosophy of "authentically caring" for both the mission and the personnel. Colonel Eccleston reflects on building resiliency as a critical care nurse during peak conflict periods in Iraq and Afghanistan, advising leaders to "grow where they are planted" by excelling in every assigned role. Finally, Colonel Perata outlines her "Three Pillars" of leadership: Grit, Growth, and Grace. She emphasizes the necessity of grit in making difficult decisions, the continuous need for leader development and feedback for growth, and the humanizing power of grace and humility. Collectively, these leaders demonstrate that the nursing profession fosters critical thinking, prioritization, and an unwavering focus on people—skills essential to successful command at any level. The episode also highlights the profound impact of mentorship, showing how senior leaders can recognize potential and shape the careers of junior officers. These stories of dedication and service offer valuable lessons for all military medicine professionals, regardless of rank or corps.

She emphasizes how staff nursing and strategic roles taught her to prioritize frontline personnel and recognize that policies can be questioned and changed to meet the mission. (12:12-21:45) Operational Medical Support and Authentic Caring in Germany: Colonel Crystal Belew describes her role leading operational medical support in Europe and Africa, noting how her background as a perioperative nurse taught her to think proactively and stay steps ahead. Her leadership philosophy focuses on "authentically caring" by being who you truly are with your troops and genuinely valuing people over the mission alone. (21:45-37:44) Building Resiliency from the Bedside to Hospital Center Command: Colonel Sarah Eccleston explains how nursing inherently builds leadership through independent decision-making and flexibility, specifically citing her experiences in critical care during war as foundational to her resiliency. She shares a mentor's advice to "grow where you are planted," illustrating how excelling in less-desired roles can actually provide the most significant preparation for future command. (37:44-46:44) Grit, Growth, and Grace at the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research: Colonel Briana Perata discusses how the Nurse Corps teaches prioritization and tough decision-making early on, which she buckets into the pillars of Grit, Growth, and Grace. She emphasizes accountability through grit, continuous leader development through growth, and humanizing leadership with grace and humble gratitude. Take Home Messages Prioritize People as a Competitive Advantage: Leaders must recognize that their personnel are their most valuable asset and that taking care of people directly enables the success of the mission. By focusing on individual needs and professional development, a commander can foster a team that naturally achieves high-performance results. Cultivate Proactive Thinking: Skills learned in clinical environments, such as the ability to anticipate needs and think several steps ahead, are directly transferable to medical command. Being proactive allows leaders to manage requirements effectively and remain prepared for unexpected mission shifts. Excel by Growing Where You Are Planted: Every military assignment has a purpose, even those that may not align with an officer's immediate desires or specialized background. Excelling in these roles builds a diverse portfolio of leadership experiences and often provides the most critical preparation for future command responsibilities. Lead with Grit, Growth, and Grace: Effective command requires the grit to make unpopular but necessary decisions and hold others accountable to high standards. This must be balanced with a commitment to continuous growth through feedback and the grace to lead with humility and genuine appreciation for the team. Authentically Care for Your Formation: Leadership is more than just a title; it is about making a human connection and genuinely caring for the personnel under your command. When leaders are authentic and focus on how they make their team members feel, they build trust, respect, and a more cohesive, high-functioning medical team.

In this episode, Meg shares the third pillar of effective parenting: setting clear boundaries and having clear consequences. When kids know exactly what the rules are—and what happens when those rules are broken—the power struggles begin to fade. Boundaries remove the guessing game from parenting and allow you to respond with confidence instead of reacting emotionally.You don't need to lecture, threaten, or yell. The boundary does the teaching for you. Using simple, consistent follow-through (and your Happy Habits as a guide), you can create a home that feels peaceful, predictable, and steady for both you and your children.This final pillar brings structure, clarity, and calm to your parenting—so everyone in the home can thrive.

Text Me!White-knuckling through detox and hoping for the best isn't a strategy, and for many people, it's the reason they keep ending up back in crisis.In this episode of the Sober Vibes Podcast, I chat with addiction recovery specialist and nurse practitioner Trent Carter to unpack a smarter, more sustainable approach to recovery, one that treats addiction like the chronic condition it is and builds a real bridge from crisis to long-term stability.Trent explains why ER detox loops and one-size-fits-all treatment scripts leave people stranded, and how targeted medications, clear education, accountable follow-up, and real-life structure can make sobriety feel achievable instead of fragile.Together, we talk through the Three Pillars of Change — awareness, education, and action and show how these pillars turn lofty recovery goals into daily, realistic wins. Trent breaks down when medications like naltrexone or buprenorphine can be helpful, why “meds as a crutch” is the wrong frame, and how to think about tapering versus long-term maintenance with honesty and clarity.This episode is practical, science-backed, and deeply hopeful, reminding listeners that recovery becomes sustainable when the plan actually matches real life.In this episode, you'll learn:Why ER detox loops and poor discharge planning fail peopleGaps in addiction care quality and educationWhy medication-assisted treatment is a bridge, not a crutchHow outpatient and IOP programs support real-life recoveryWhy inpatient treatment must be followed by strong aftercareResources Mentioned:Subscribe to my YouTube Channel1:1 CoachingMy Book Connect with Trent:WebsiteBookPODCAST SPONSOR:This episode is sponsored by Soberlink, a trusted accountability tool for anyone navigating early recovery.

In this episode, Meg teaches the second pillar of effective parenting: Noticing the Good.
