Most people treating anxiety are starting in the wrong place. Madison Prewett Troutt — author, speaker, and podcast host — makes the case that anxiety, loneliness, and chronic exhaustion are primarily spiritual battles, and that no supplement or protocol will produce lasting freedom until the foundation is addressed first. **In this episode:** - Why your body is a temple and what it actually means to steward it well — physically, spiritually, and relationally - The three things every human needs to be truly healthy: connection to God, connection to people, and connection to the earth - Satan's specific strategies to keep you stuck in fear, comparison, and compromise — and how to recognize them - A real spiritual prescription for overcoming anxiety (prayer, confession, praise, gratitude, and addressing childhood trauma) - How community, marriage, and mentorship shape your health just as much as what you eat - The health habits Madison and Grant actually practice — cold plunge, infrared sauna, and the mindset behind all of it Uncover what's really going on in your body with advanced biomarker testing for hormones, thyroid, and metabolism— plus a 1-hour consultation with a Senior Health Advisor! → http://mybloodwork.com Thank you to our sponsors!

In the midst of the polycrisis - or the meta crisis, depending on your point of view - what is the key to the inner change each of us can make that will help us shift our perspective so that we can begin to create the total systemic change we need? In this solo podcast, Manda explores the Three Pillars of the Heart Mind laid out in the Accidental Gods modules - Gratitude, Compassion and Joyful Curiosity…and then adds a fourth: Honouring all aspects of the Web of Life. How does it feel to honour everything: the things we take for granted, the things we judge as being bad or wrong, the things that disturb us, as well as the things whose loss we grieve so deeply? Manda explores the idea that shifting to a place of honouring can transform our entire worldview and help us to find meaning and purpose in a world on fire.

Episode Title: "AA Works 100% of the Time"Hosts: Mike & GlennThe Data Dilemma: Does AA Actually Work?Hosts Mike and Glenn open the episode by tackling a common question: What percentage of people who go to Alcoholics Anonymous actually get sober?They agree that because AA is an anonymous program lacking a formal structure for surveys or data collection, any statistic cited out there is essentially made up. There is no comprehensive, quantitative data set—only snippets.However, the hosts argue that while the program's overall statistics are impossible to track, the success rate for an individual who completely commits is absolute: When you surrender to the program, get a sponsor, take directives to heart, and stay active, AA works 100% of the time.The "Secret Sauce" and Page 58The hosts ground their argument in Page 58 of the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous, which famously states:“Rarely have we seen a person fail who has thoroughly followed our path.”When people follow the program and still relapse, Glenn suggests there is a "disconnect"—much like an ignored warning light in a car. Ignoring a low tire pressure light eventually leads to a blowout and a crash; in recovery, dishonesty is that warning light. Those who fail are usually those who cannot or will not completely give themselves to the program.Exceptions: The Big Book notes exceptions for those with severe mental health issues. However, the hosts point out that diagnoses made while actively drinking can be skewed, and many ills are solved simply through abstinence and a competent recovery program.Host Spotlight: Personal JourneysGlenn's Story (The 10% Phase): Initially, Glenn tried doing AA his way, which resulted in a 10% success rate. He was a "yo-yo," letting his ego and judgment keep him from truly connecting. When he finally surrendered—listening to others' pain and finding similarities instead of differences—the program began to work.Mike's Story (The Deep End): Mike found success by completely surrendering his own will from day one. He "drank the Kool-Aid," jumped into the deep end, and embraced rigorous honesty, selfless behavior, and service. By letting others count on him, he achieved 100% sobriety.Perception vs. RealityCelebrity Relapses: The hosts note that when a celebrity endorses AA and later relapses or dies, the world views it as an "AA failure." In reality, it is an individual failure resulting from taking one's will back or stopping being honest.The Gym Membership Analogy: Saying AA doesn't work without doing the work is like buying a gym membership, never working out, and blaming the gym for you not getting fit.Dealing with "Bad Apples": There may be people with bad intentions in the rooms, but meeting attendance shouldn't be based on how you feel about others. The focus must remain on personal recovery and service.Glenn's Three Pillars of ProofGlenn summarizes his belief in AA's foolproof nature with three points:Total Surrender: If you surrender 100%, it works 100%.Living Proof: He sees it work 100% of the time for the hundreds of successful, active people he "does life" with.The Promise: He adheres strictly to the Big Book's promise that those who thoroughly follow the path rarely fail.Closing Thoughts & DisclaimerThe hosts acknowledge that AA is not the only path—other solutions include alternative recovery programs, counseling, and church. For the "sober curious," they recommend giving AA a try for 90 days or a year.Special Medical Note: The medication Antabuse is briefly mentioned in this episode. Listeners are strongly advised to seek professional medical advice before taking any medications.Conclusion: People may claim AA doesn't work, but for Mike, Glenn, and the hundreds of active, accountable, and service-minded people around them, it is working 100% of the time.

The Three Pillars of My MusicianshipThis feels like a great way to end an era of the podcast. We're moving this weekend, the studio is being packed up, and this is the final time I'm sitting down in front of the camera here before everything moves to the new house and a completely new studio.It felt appropriate that this episode ended up being about something pretty fundamental: the three pillars that have underpinned almost everything I've done as a musician for the past 30 years. But I only really started thinking about them this way quite recently.While signing and packing copies of How to Transcribe this week, I noticed how many people had bought it alongside Bass Player's Guide to Sight Reading. Sitting next to those was The Bassist's Book of Scales and Arpeggios, and suddenly this very obvious connection appeared.Technique. Reading. Transcription.Those three things have been with me throughout my entire career.TechniqueScales, arpeggios, harmony, theory and the physical facility to actually execute the ideas I hear.I'm not practicing technique because I simply want to play fast. Even after more than 30 years of playing, there are still enormous areas of my technique and musicianship I want to improve that have nothing to do with speed or trying to impress anyone. ReadingReading gives me faster access to music.And despite having done it professionally for decades, it's not some innate ability that appeared fully formed when I pick up the bass. It's a skill I've worked incredibly hard on and one I still have to maintain.So for this episode I decided to test it.I pulled out two exercises from Bass Player's Guide to Sight Reading that I haven't played in years, spun up the play-alongs and took a shot at reading them cold while I was filming. I also break down what's actually going through my head while I'm reading: scanning ahead, anticipating fingerings, deciding where on the instrument to play something, thinking about tone, remembering mistakes that might need fixing after the take and — hopefully — getting comfortable enough with the notes that I can stop thinking exclusively about reading and start thinking about music.TranscriptionThis might be the deepest pillar of all.Almost all of the vocabulary you hear when I play comes from decades of listening, transcribing, absorbing and repeating music.Transcription isn't just about writing somebody else's solo on a piece of paper. It's about immersion. It's how I've learned languages within music, developed vocabulary and continually found new inspiration.It's also probably the pillar I've neglected the most recently, and one I want to spend more time with again.The Work Never EndsOne of the things I love most about the greatest musicians I've been fortunate enough to know is that none of them seem to think they've arrived.The people whose playing seems almost impossibly developed still have lists of things they want to practice, sounds they want to explore and areas of their musicianship they want to improve. Those lists make up several lifetimes worth of work, and the common thread I've noticed among so many of my musical heroes isn't simply their ability.They love the work.In This Episode* The three pillars that have shaped my musicianship* Why technique isn't about simply playing faster* What reading music actually gives you* Why sight-reading is a skill I still actively maintain* Attempting to sight-read my own exercises years after writing them* Testing myself on a piece in 7/4* What I'm thinking about during a professional reading session* Why one or two takes matter in the studio* Thinking about sound and phrasing while reading* How transcription develops musical vocabulary* What I want to work on next* Why great musicians never run out of things to practice* Why loving the work might be the most important part of allThe Complete Bass Mastery BundleI've also bundled the three books that inspired this episode together for the first time:The Bassist's Book of Scales and ArpeggiosBass Player's Guide to Sight ReadingHow to TranscribeTogether, they represent these three different but interconnected areas of musicianship: technique, reading and transcription.Each book also includes its accompanying video masterclasses and play-along materials, so this is really much closer to a complete course than simply a collection of three ebooks.And with that, it's goodbye to this studio.Thank you to everyone who has watched and listened to the podcast from this room for the past two years.

☀️Join Me For The DEATH DOULA BOOTCAMP August 27th-29th https://www.deathdoulabootcamp.com What if the greatest solution to our aging and end-of-life crisis isn't building another system—but remembering what we've forgotten? For generations, communities naturally cared for one another through illness, caregiving, dying, and grief. Today, many families face these experiences feeling isolated, overwhelmed, and unprepared. But it doesn't have to be this way. In this episode of Ask a Death Doula, Suzanne B. O'Brien shares a simple yet powerful framework for rebuilding compassionate communities—one neighborhood, one conversation, and one person at a time. Together, we'll explore the three pillars that can help transform fear into confidence, isolation into connection, and communities into places where people once again know how to care for one another. In this episode, you'll discover: Why we've experienced the "great forgetting" around caregiving, aging, and end-of-life care. How remembering our shared humanity is the first step toward meaningful change. Why every community needs a compassionate leader willing to simply show up. How a monthly community gathering can become a safe place for education, connection, and support. The importance of identifying and supporting our most vulnerable neighbors, including solo agers and family caregivers. Practical ways to spread this movement through libraries, faith communities, senior centers, neighborhood groups, and local organizations. Why creating compassionate communities doesn't just change the end of life—it transforms how we live together every day. The Three Pillars Remember Remember what we've forgotten. Community once cared for community. Those skills can be remembered, reclaimed, and passed on once again. Show Up Choose to become the person who brings people together. You don't need all the answers—you simply need the willingness to create a space where learning, support, and connection can happen. Share It Invite others. Build awareness. Create momentum. Every conversation creates another ripple, and every ripple helps build a culture of compassion. This is how movements begin. Not with thousands of people. With one person deciding to care. Resources Mentioned Doulagivers offers free education, caregiver resources, checklists, conversation guides, and community tools designed to help individuals and communities feel confident supporting one another through aging and end of life. Together, we can return community to community again. Ready to Take the Next Step? If today's episode inspired you and you've ever felt called to make a meaningful difference in the lives of others, I invite you to join us for our live Death Doula Business Bootcamp, happening August 27–29. Claim your space here Over three transformational days, you'll discover what it truly takes to become a successful death doula—how to serve with confidence, build trust in your community, create a sustainable and fulfilling career, and become part of the growing movement to bring compassionate end-of-life care back where it belongs.

2026-08-09 Jesus, Son of Manby Pastor Chris BergScripture Reference: Mark 9:9-13And as they were coming down the mountain, he charged them to tell no one what they had seen, until the Son of Man had risen from the dead. So they kept the matter to themselves, questioning what this rising from the dead might mean. And they asked him, “Why do the scribes say that first Elijah must come?”And he said to them, “Elijah does come first to restore all things. And how is it written of the Son of Man that he should suffer many things aand be treated with contempt? But I tell you that Elijah has come, and they did to him whatever they pleased, as it is written of him.” Notes, outline and a summary from this sermon are made by Pocket AI and found here:This sermon explores the theological significance of the title "Son of Man," centering on Mark 9:9–13. The discussion examines why Jesus favored this specific designation and how it encapsulates his dual nature as both fully human and fully divine.The Context of the TitleFollowing the Transfiguration, Jesus charged Peter, James, and John to remain silent about what they had seen until the "Son of Man" had risen from the dead.Intentionality: Jesus specifically chose this title over the first-person "I" to emphasize a specific prophetic identity.Qualification of Witness: The disciples were not yet qualified to testify about the Transfiguration because they could not comprehend Christ's glory without the context of his resurrection.The Elijah Connection: Jesus clarifies that John the Baptist fulfilled the prophecy of Elijah's return. Just as John suffered and was rejected, the Son of Man was destined for the same path—a reality the disciples were hesitant to accept.The Three Pillars of the "Son of Man"1. A Title of HumanityJesus is the "God-man." While his deity was often questioned during his earthly ministry, modern doubts often lean toward his humanity.Under the Law: To redeem those under the law, Christ had to be born under the law (Galatians 4:4–5). Only a human could serve as a substitute for human sin.The Perfect Sacrifice: Animal sacrifices were temporary provisions. A permanent solution required a sinless human life—a "body prepared" for sacrifice (Hebrews 10:4–7).Sympathetic High Priest: His humanity allows him to sympathize with human weakness, having experienced hunger, exhaustion, and temptation.2. A Title of HumilityThe title reflects Christ's "emptying" of himself (Philippians 2:5–8).Example of Service: He moved from the glories of heaven to the rejection of man.Preparation for the Cross: By using this title, Jesus was mentally preparing the disciples for a suffering Messiah rather than the immediate political conqueror they anticipated.3. A Title of Deity and DominionParadoxically, "Son of Man" is also a claim to divine authority, rooted in the prophecy of Daniel 7:13–14. Mandeville Bible Church   "Where God's Word is Our Foundation"https://www.mandevillebiblechurch.org/Come and see that God's Word is alive and at work right here in Mandeville.. and throughout the world!All are welcome. 217 Carroll Street, Mandeville, LA 70448Church Office: (985) 626-3114Sunday Service: 9:30AMAdult Sunday School: 10:45-11:30AMNursery and Children's church available.

We talk candidly about what changes when you stop being an associate and start building a practice from scratch, including why buying a practice feels “simpler” and why a squat requires a completely different mindset around planning, data, and culture. If you are a UK dentist thinking about dental practice ownership, this is the grounded framework we wish more people heard earlier. We start with a personal story of a thriving mixed practice that gets sold to a corporate, then rapidly falls apart as the team and patient list evaporate. That experience sparks a bigger question lots of dentists carry quietly: should I stay put, buy, or open my own? From there we lay out a clear decision-making approach called the certainty compass, designed to cut through overwhelm and three common traps: prestige spending, rushing a quick escape, and overthinking until the opportunity disappears. We bring it back to three simple checks: patient benefit, what the data actually says, and your true worst case scenario. Next, we get practical about growth: building an A-team in a new practice and why one toxic hire can drain your culture and profit faster than any marketing mistake. Finally, we break down the “invisible waiting list” and why community building, authenticity, and a consistent personal brand can bring patients in at low cost without turning you into an “influencer”. ———————————————————————Disclaimer: All content on this channel is for education purposes only and does not constitute an investment recommendation or individual financial advice.

Is your organization's biggest growth challenge really strategy - or is it a hidden trust problem that's quietly slowing everything down? As organizations grow, complexity increases. Decisions slow down, communication breaks down, and leaders often find themselves becoming the bottleneck without realizing why. In this episode, Nicole Jansen sits down with Debbie Simmons – community activist, business leader, wife, mother of nine adopted children, devoted follower of Jesus Christ, and author of The Architecture of Trust - to explore why trust isn't just a leadership value; it's the operating system that allows organizations to scale. Debbie introduces her Architecture of Trust Framework, revealing how leadership alignment, decision clarity, and execution reliability create organizations that thrive under pressure instead of breaking apart. Drawing from decades of leadership experience, personal tragedy, and deep faith, she shares practical strategies to eliminate the "hidden trust tax" that costs organizations time, energy, and impact. Whether you lead a business, nonprofit, team, or even a family, this conversation offers timeless principles for building stronger foundations that last. What We Discuss in This Episode Why trust - not strategy - is often the real limiting factor to organizational growth The hidden signs that trust is breaking down inside your organization Why leaders unknowingly become the bottleneck as organizations scale The three pillars of the Architecture of Trust framework How leadership alignment creates organizational momentum Why decision clarity eliminates confusion and costly rework The importance of execution reliability for sustainable growth Understanding the "hidden trust tax" that's draining your organization How to create a "trust dividend" that accelerates growth and impact Why most organizations have a structure problem—not a people problem How awareness becomes the first step toward transformation Lessons from building a multimillion-dollar nonprofit Debbie's personal story of loss, adoption, and discovering purpose through pain Why asking "Why?" often keeps leaders stuck - and a better question to ask instead Applying trust principles to leadership, business, family, and faith Highlights / YouTube Chapter Titles 00:00 – Why Leaders Get Stuck as Organizations Grow 02:30 – The First Signs of Broken Trust 09:58 – The Three Pillars of the Architecture of Trust 13:03 – People Problems or Structure Problems? 16:22 – Where Leaders Should Start Fixing Trust 20:14 – The Hidden Trust Tax Costing Your Organization 24:48 – Personal Tragedy That Changed Everything 29:15 – Stop Asking "Why?"

At first glance, Ashtanga Yoga may look like a simple sequence of postures. But beneath the surface lies a subtle framework that carries the entire method: Tristhāna, the threefold support of breath, posture, and gaze. In this episode, Kino and Tim explore the deeper meaning of Tristhāna. The word comes from Sanskrit, with tri meaning "three" and sthāna meaning "place" or "support." These three abodes are not just techniques. They are thresholds that guide the practitioner from gross sensation into subtle awareness. Breath is the golden thread linking body and mind. Posture is the seat that establishes presence. Gaze is the discipline that steadies perception. Together, they guide us inward, moving us from the visible body into the subtle body, from surface sensation into deeper stillness. Kino and Tim also reflect on how these pillars extend beyond the mat. Breath becomes a refuge, posture teaches resilience, and gaze becomes discernment. To practice Ashtanga is to realize that we are never not practicing. Yoga becomes alive in every moment of our lives. Listen in to explore how the three pillars of Tristhāna support the movement from external to internal, from gross to subtle, and discover how yoga is not just something you do, but something you live. Practice with Kino, Tim, and the Omstars community at Omstars.com, where you'll find guided Ashtanga Yoga classes, philosophy, meditation, and practice support for every stage of your path.

You can tell what your position is in Kṛṣṇa consciousness just by praying. That's why there are so many prayers in the Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam. Rādhika Ramaṇa Prabhu once had given a class in New Vrindavan; he talked about prayer, and he said when he was a kid he grew up on the Bhāgavatam—his mother taught him how to read from the Bhāgavatam. He said he loved hearing the stories, but when the prayers started, he started thinking, 'Oh no, not again,' because they go on and on, he said, as a kid. And then later, he developed a taste for hearing the prayers because he could understand: 'This is a devotee expressing his or her heart to Kṛṣṇa,' and that's how you can tell what Kṛṣṇa consciousness is—by the prayers—and that's how we can tell what our Kṛṣṇa consciousness is by the way we pray. So, we have to notice what we pray. Don't do a niyama-graha, which means just saying a prayer like ceto-darpaṇa-mārjanaṁ bhava-mahā-dāvāgni-nirvāpaṇaṁ, vāñchā-kalpa-tarubhyaś ca kṛpā-sindhubhya eva ca, śarīra-avidyā-jāla-jaḍendriya-tāhe kāla... be there and pray deeply and make your own personal prayer. So, it's a life of prayer, and saṅkīrtan, going out following Lord Caitanya's footsteps to go from town to town, from house to house. It's a very prayer-driven activity. You have to pray deeply. So, that's the first step for book distribution success. You want to hear the second? It rhymes with the first one, so there's 'pray'; the second one is 'display.' When the jīvas are walking around Watford, they're looking for something; they just don't know what it is. When we display the books, then it gives an opportunity to the wandering jīva, the loitering jīva—loitering in the material world, has no business here, actually, just hanging around. They try to dress it up like it's a big deal: 'Put on a uniform, wear a tie.' What are you wearing that piece of cloth around your neck for? "Because I'm seriously dedicated'.. to what? "To putting the stripes in toothpaste?" Something highly necessary for human society. So, if you display the Bhāgavatam, then it's possible that little jīva will catch on it, see it, and think, "Oh, interesting." If they have a little puṇya in their heart—maybe some previous contact, maybe they accidentally said 'Hare Kṛṣṇa' at a soccer match, or they saw Hare Kṛṣṇa—they'll then gravitate towards the book. The third one rhymes with the first two, which is 'say.' So, there's pray, display and say—three things, that's it. And you know what to say. It doesn't matter, because if you've prayed and you've displayed, then whatever you say, it doesn't matter, because it just has to come from your heart. They'll be attracted to the quality of your voice, not exactly what you say, and it comes from realization. It's not some trick; it's real. It's a connection to each soul that comes from you. And if you're genuine, genuinely sincere, and you've genuinely prayed, then you display something that's been given to you—that's the most valuable thing that you have—and you say something about it, it'll be successful. So, there are only three little parts, and anyone who does this will find a connection with Kṛṣṇa, out in the middle of the most crowded places in the world, like 'the Ox'—that's Oxford Street."

Healthcare marketing is leaving the glossy, corporate-ad era behind. What patients actually respond to now is real faces, real stories, and real expertise — and that's reshaping who gets a microphone in your marketing strategy.This week, we're breaking down a framework for healthcare influencer marketing built around three distinct buckets, each serving a different purpose: reach, trust, and content fuel.1. External Social Media Influencers (Buying the Audience): This is about borrowing an existing audience. You partner with established creators (lifestyle, parenting, wellness, or condition-specific) to break into demographics you haven't reached yet. The healthcare wrinkle: the FTC and FDA don't play around with disclosure, so #Ad labeling is mandatory, and you'll want to vet a creator's history to make sure nothing in their past content conflicts with your brand. CreatorIQ or Sprout Social both help with exactly this kind of audience and brand-safety vetting before you sign anything.2. Internal Brand Experts (The "OG Medfluencers"): Your own doctors, nurses, researchers, and therapists who are already building an audience bring something no outside partnership can buy: built-in clinical credibility and hyper-local trust. Because they're still employees, they need clear boundaries between personal opinion and your organization's official position, along with genuine support like studio time and compliance help. Tools like EveryoneSocial or DSMN8 make it easy to push pre-approved, legally cleared content straight to your internal team so they can share with confidence.3. User-Generated Content (UGC): Rather than paying for someone's following, UGC means sourcing the raw, unscripted content patients are already creating (recovery journeys, clinic walkthroughs, unboxings) and putting it to work across your owned and paid channels. The one rule you can't skip: a HIPAA-compliant release form before any patient face or story touches paid media. Archive.com automatically captures organic content your brand gets tagged in, while Bounty and Skeepers help you run micro-campaigns for content that's pre-licensed and ready for ads from the start.The takeaway: external influencers expand your reach, internal experts close the trust gap, and UGC delivers the content that actually performs!For more on this topic, check out episode 107: Influencer Marketing in Healthcare.Connect with Jenny:Email: jenny@hedyandhopp.comLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jennybristow/If you enjoyed this episode, we'd love to hear your feedback!

The Dual Leadership Loop Model™ was developed specifically for Christian women in leadership — in executive roles, entrepreneurship, and as parents. Research confirms that calm, confidence, and consistency are not personality traits reserved for a few naturally gifted leaders. Three Pillars of the Calm, Confident, Consistent Leadership Loop Each pillar of the loop is distinct. Pillar One: Calm — Leading from a Regulated Nervous System What Calm Leadership Looks Like in Practice What Calm Parenting Leadership Looks Like Pillar Two: Confidence — Leading from Identity, Not Performance What Confident Leadership Looks Like in Practice What Confident Parenting Leadership Looks Like Pillar Three: Consistency — The Foundation of Trust What Consistent Leadership Looks Like in Practice What Consistent Parenting Leadership Looks Like The Neuroscience Behind the Calm, Confident, Consistent Loop Faith as the Foundation of the Calm, Confident, Consistent Loop Scripture Verses for The Calm, Confident, and Consistent Leadership Loop Isaiah 26:3 Philippians 4:13 Joshua 1:9 Romans 12:2 Proverbs 31:25 Psalm 23:1–3 Philippians 1:6 How Christian Women in Leadership Access and Sustain the Calm, Confident, Consistent Loop Entering this loop is not a one-time event. It is a daily practice of choosing regulation over reaction, truth over comparison, and trust over control. Here is how to build and sustain it. 1. Regulate Your Nervous System as a Daily Practice 2. Renew Your Mind Before the World Gets to It 3. Name and Interrupt the Anxiety Loop in Real Time 4. Build Boundaries that Protect Your Regulation 5. Anchor Identity in Christ Daily, Not Circumstantially 6.

In Your Parenting Calm becomes their foundation. Consistency becomes their security. And confidence in who God made you to be becomes the model they carry into their own lives. A Word to Every Christian Woman in Leadership Reading This Your Next Step This week, identify one area where you experienced the calm, confident, consistent loop — even briefly. Reflection Questions Which of the three pillars — calm, confidence, or consistency — feels most available to you right now? Which one needs the most intentional development? Where in your leadership — at work, at home, or in parenting — would the greatest trust be built if you became more consistent? What would it look like for you to lead from the calm, confident, consistent loop for one full week — at work, at home, and with your children? Read the full show notes and access all links.

Why do 70% of change efforts fail — even when leadership is fully committed? The answer isn't strategy or resources; it's the hidden stories people unknowingly carry that silently block every initiative.In this episode, Ronica Roth, author of “Practice Makes Culture” and co-founder of The Welcome Elephant, shares a practical framework for creating lasting organizational change. Drawing on 25 years of experience helping teams and companies transform, she explains why culture declarations and vision speeches alone never work — and what leaders at any level can do instead. Ronica introduces the concept of “welcoming elephants” — the emotional, systems, and room elephants that surface whenever change is attempted — and why acknowledging them is the first step toward real progress. She also unpacks why most culture lives beneath the surface, in hidden stories that employees carry without realizing it, and how those stories quietly undermine even well-designed initiatives.The conversation covers how to build psychological ownership so people invest in change rather than just comply with it, and why small, intentional daily practices — not grand overhauls — are what actually shift culture. The discussion also touches on applying these principles to AI transformation, where the emotional stakes are especially high and the hidden stories especially loud.Key topics discussed:Why 70% of change efforts fail — and what to do about itThe three types of “elephants” blocking organizational changeHidden stories: the invisible force sabotaging your cultureWhy declaring a new culture is necessary but not sufficientHow to create psychological ownership (not just buy-in)Using meetings as a daily practice for cultural changeLeading AI transformation with vulnerability and structureThe WOOP method for making personal behavior change stickTimestamps:(00:00:00) Trailer & Intro(00:02:43) Why Ronica Write a Book About IT Culture?(00:05:14) What Are the Three Types of Elephants That Hold Organizations Back?(00:11:05) Why Do 70% of Change Efforts Fail?(00:15:45) How Does Ronica Define the Different Layers of Culture?(00:20:57) Why Is Declaring a New Culture Necessary But Not Sufficient?(00:23:12) What Are the Three Pillars of Your Cultural Transformation Framework?(00:39:28) How Can You Turn Meetings Into a Daily Practice for Cultural Change?(00:48:51) How Can Leaders Address the Emotional Elephant of AI Transformation?(00:56:13) Can You Apply These Culture Change Principles to Personal Growth?(01:02:06) What Are the Five Culture Hacks for Scaling Cultural Impact?(01:04:49) 3 Tech Lead Wisdom_____Ronica Roth's BioRonica Roth is a transformation expert dedicated to revolutionizing how organizations work.

David George is CEO & Founder at CRUX Workplace where he builds on his decades of experience in workplace design, facilities management, real estate management and strategy to help clients co-create high performing, flexible workplace designs that enable people to do their best work. Mike Petrusky asks David why he believes that workplace strategists must be involved from the outset to understand business processes and create effective briefs for architects and designers, while innovation is centered on enabling people to perform their best and feel joy and connection at work. Engaging employees early in the design process leads to higher acceptance and ownership of the change, and David says successful change management relies on three pillars: employee engagement, clear communication, and sponsorship from leaders within the core business. He suggests creating a steering committee including CRE, IT, HR, and FM to drive workplace projects and says organizations must move beyond traditional office designs conceived decades ago and embrace new ways of work aligned with how people work today.

The Learning Leader Show with Ryan Hawk www.LearningLeader.com New Book - The Price of Becoming www.LearningLeader.com/Becoming Ron Friedman is a psychologist and researcher who has spent his career studying what separates great teams from average ones. His research, which has surveyed thousands of professionals across dozens of industries, became the second most-read article in Harvard Business Review history. He is the author of three books, including his latest, Superteams: The Science and Secrets of High-Performing Teams. This is brought to you by Insight Global. If you need to hire one person, hire a team of people, or transform your business through Talent or Technical Services, Insight Global's team of 30,000 people around the world has the hustle and grit to deliver. Key Learnings Ron's dad threw himself into impossible challenges and taught his family the dignity of hard work. A physician in Israel, he didn't want his son in the army, so he picked up the phone and started dialing hospitals in New York City until he landed a job at NYU. He pulled his family out of a country he knew, didn't speak the language fluently, and succeeded anyway. Ron dedicated Super Teams to him. He recently passed away. Only 8% of teams qualify as super teams. Ron's team polled thousands of workers and asked two questions: How effective is your team at meeting its goals? And how does it compare to others in your industry? Super teams hit the perfect score. The only office amenity that statistically drives performance: quiet space for focused work. Not the gym. Not the ping-pong table. Most offices are an attentional war zone. That's why people prefer working from home. How a team works matters more than where a team works. Remote, hybrid, in-office. The data shows none of those predict performance. Intention does. Don't make meetings the default. Make them the last resort. Super teams are 50% better at avoiding unnecessary meetings and 54% less likely to schedule recurring ones. Recurring meetings are insidious. Once they're on the calendar, removing one feels like breaking up with someone. So they just live there forever. Ron's rule: no decision, no meeting. Have a question? Pick up the phone. Have an update? Record a video or send an email. Don't pull people away from their work. The average worker loses 18 hours a week to meetings. And another 11 hours to messages. That's three-quarters of the week gone before they've achieved a single task. Meeting-free days cut stress in half and increase productivity by 71%. People go home feeling satisfied because they were able to actually do the work. Three pillars of super teams: They get more done by managing time, energy, and attention. They don't just collaborate. They actively make each other better. They're never satisfied. They're constantly building skills and improving. Recovery isn't passive. Scrolling Instagram or binging Netflix helps you wind down, but it doesn't restore your energy. Mastery experiences do. Learn a new song. Try pickleball. Cook a new recipe. When leaders recover, their teams perform better. A well-rested leader shows up in a positive mood. That mood lifts the team. Investing in your own recovery isn't selfish. It moves your team forward. The best leaders support their people's side hustles. Not because they assign them, but because their people feel they have permission to grow outside the job. That's a signal you care about the person, not just the output. Three factors predict trust in a leader: competence, caring, consistency. Any one of them breaks down and trust breaks down. "How was your weekend?" is lame. Be specific. Ask about the kid's soccer game by name. Specificity proves you actually thought about the person. People need to be appreciated for who they are, not just what they do. That's how they feel cared for. The top three characteristics of toxic teammates: unreliable, bad attitude, and arrogant. The top three characteristics of the best teammates: knowledgeable, dependable, and a good communicator. Notice what's not on the list. Funny. Good listener. Caring. Those are nice-to-haves. They don't move the team forward. The best teammates make excellence the norm. On super teams, 94% say their teammates motivate them to do their best work. On super teams, 82% say they feel worse about letting down their teammates than their manager. When people know their teammates are counting on them, they work harder. Constant togetherness is not collaboration. The Succession writers' room cycled between solo writing and group critique. Real collaboration protects focus time first. Brainwriting beats brainstorming. Have people generate ideas alone first, then bring them to the room. You get higher quantity and higher quality ideas. 97% of feedback fails to lift performance. Over a third actively makes it worse. What does the 3% do differently? Focus on one thing at a time. Future-oriented, not past-oriented. Top performers want to know what they did wrong. Confidence allows them to absorb criticism and correct it. Most people aren't there. Gauge the feedback to the person. Great football coaches give feedback differently to the quarterback than the lineman. Know your people. Adjust your approach. Comedians get better at the Comedy Cellar because of what happens next door. Seinfeld, Chappelle, and Schumer gather at the Lemon Tree Cafe after sets to critique each other. Ryan calls it the "see it, say it" mentality, an ethos his teammate Geron Stokes brings every day. Great compliment, say it. Falling short of the standard, say it. The best teammates care enough to tell you how you can improve. Ron's champagne moment a year from now: his 19-year-old daughter landing a finance internship she earned on her own. Reflection Questions What's your recurring meeting that should be a breakup conversation? When was the last time you asked a teammate something specific about their life, by name? Or are you defaulting to "how was your weekend?" What's your version of the Comedy Cellar's Lemon Tree Cafe? Who do you go to for the candid feedback that makes you better?

Imagine Belonging at Work

Most leaders are carrying an energetic weight they were never meant to hold alone. In our current professional climate, those committed to equity and belonging face a quiet but painful trend: being hushed—subtly or overtly signaled to continue their transformative work with less organizational support, shrinking budgets, and higher personal risk. The resulting collective grief is not an abstract concept; it is a physical weight carried in our tissues. In this special debrief episode, Rhodes Perry sits down with yoga therapist and fellow Reiki Master practitioner, Chrissy Hoffman, to look back on their very first Collective Peace Share. Together, they pull back the curtain on their initial hesitations, share participants' breakthroughs, and explore how dropping our professional armor allows us to move from isolated survival strategies to communal aliveness. Doing the Inner Work In a workplace landscape that often feels upside-down, navigating the grief of transition requires turning our focus inward. This conversation explores how leaders can build the internal resilience necessary to navigate systemic setbacks by: Overcoming the Fear of "Too Woo." Moving past the ego's anxiety about blending high-performance leadership strategy with deep, intuitive spiritual healing. The Shift from "Fighting" to "Healing." Discerning the natural evolution in a values-driven leader's journey from early career "truth and justice" activism to sustainable "love and healing" frameworks. Communal Grief Integration. Re-learning how to process structural loss and exhaustion collectively rather than internalizing stress as an emotional sponge. The Architecture of Leading Embodied. Using ancient energetic hygiene tools to self-regulate, unlock creative business flows, and clear the mental static caused by external uncertainty. Episode Highlights [00:02:31] Naming Today's Reality. Rhodes addresses the profound sense of grief professionals are facing due to anti-DEI rollbacks, framing collective grief through the lens of Francis Weller's The Wild Edge of Sorrow: it was never meant to be carried in isolation. [00:04:20] Tracking the Resistance. Rhodes shares his initial hesitation to pitch this gathering to executives and entrepreneurs racing to adapt to AI and technological disruption, and how moving through his own resistance revealed a massive collective craving for a supportive container. [00:05:48] "I Have Been Waiting For This." Chrissy and Rhodes share moving feedback from a participant—a seasoned divorce attorney—who highlighted how desperately professional leaders need spaces where they can step out of "facilitator" mode and drop their protective armor. [00:11:33] Truth & Justice vs. Love & Healing. Inspired by a recent energetic shift, Rhodes outlines the evolution of his professional life: transitioning from a fiery younger advocate focused on dismantling oppressive structures, to a creative healer centering empathy, somatic wisdom, and organizational belonging. [00:16:22] Corrupt Systems, Not Human Enemies. Chrissy reflects on a powerful lesson from activist Mahmood Khalil: "No human is the enemy; corrupt systems are the enemy." She shares how shifting away from an immediate trigger response allows leaders to practice deep humility and listen with greater flexibility. [00:21:06] Previewing Lead Embodied. Rhodes reveals how editing his upcoming book, Lead Embodied: Roads Less Traveled to Authentic Leadership, served as his own medicine at the start of the year, reminding him that changing our internal shapes is a prerequisite for co-creating a space of external belonging. [00:27:37] The Three Pillars of Collective Practice. A breakdown of the core organizing principles of the Peace Share: Presence (holding the now without anxiety), Influence (focusing on our internal state), and Somatic Gratitude (anchoring to what is real right now rather than spiritual bypassing). "I love that you are looking specifically at grief—and how holding space for it, infused with the energy of love—which is what Reiki is—is what is most needed now. If we are to contain all that peace requires, we must learn to hold the frequency of heartbreak." — Yael Flusberg, Yoga Therapist and Reiki Master Teacher Show Notes & Resources

Are you tired of the "grind" of finding your next real estate deal? In a market where traditional marketing costs are skyrocketing and algorithms are constantly changing, most investors are left fighting for scraps. But what if you could have motivated, off-market leads delivered straight to your inbox without ever picking up a paintbrush or knocking on a stranger's door? In this episode, we sit down with Or Sapir, the tech-maven turned real estate powerhouse from MotivatedSellers.com. Or reveals how his team generates a staggering 20,000+ leads per month through high-authority domains like SellHouseFast.com. Whether you are a solo wholesaler or a high-volume investor, this conversation is your "marketing prayer answered". We dive deep into the data-driven world of PPL (Pay Per Lead), exploring the "hot" markets like Maricopa County and Harris County, and why human connection is still the ultimate closer in a digital age. If you are ready to stop "recreating the wheel" and start scaling with a predictable, exclusive lead source, this episode is for you. Learn why the "middleman" approach is the fastest way to a 4x ROI and how to handle distressed sellers with the empathy they deserve. What You'll Learn in This Episode:The Evolution of Lead Gen: How Or Sapir bridged the gap between the tech world and real estate to create a massive inbound lead engine. The Power of PPL: Why buying exclusive, real-time leads is often more efficient than door knocking or managing your own PPC campaigns. Current "Hot" Markets: Detailed data on where the most leads are coming from right now, including Maricopa County, AZ, Harris County, TX, and Riverside, CA. The "KISS" Method: Why simplicity in your CRM and systems is the key to scaling without burnout. Risk-Free Investing: How to get started with no sign-up fees and a full dispute process for leads that don't meet quality standards. The Art of the Follow-Up: Why 80% of sales happen after the fifth contact and how to stay consistent when others quit. Turning Lemons into Lemonade: Creative strategies for leads that aren't a "cash buy" fit, from seller financing to realtor referrals. The Three Pillars of Scaling: A deep dive into Marketing, Organization/Systems, and Funding as the core requirements for growth. Empathy-Based Selling: Understanding the distress of the seller to build trust and close more deals. Real estate investing is a numbers game, but it's also a human business. As Or Sapir reminds us, the goal isn't just to flip a house; it's to help a community and solve a problem for a family in distress.

Systems over Sweat: Engineering Real Estate Automation with Keith GillispieIn a recent episode of The Thoughtful Entrepreneur Podcast, host Josh Elledge sat down with Keith Gillispie, the Co-Founder of REI Automated, to break down how busy professionals can build a thriving real estate portfolio without sacrificing their primary careers. As a Marine Corps veteran and systems engineer, Keith managed to scale a real estate operation spanning 34 states while on active duty in Hawaii, leveraging strict discipline and hyper-efficient operational design. This conversation provides an essential, systems-driven blueprint for high-earning W-2 employees and executives who face severe time constraints but want to transition into asset-backed financial freedom using residential real estate.The Architecture of Leverage: Out-Benching Time Constraints through Automated PipelinesScaling a business with only one hour of available downtime per day requires a radical departure from traditional, hands-on real estate practices. Keith Gillispie explains that instead of relying on manual prospecting or local networking, busy professionals must adopt a systems-engineering mindset to turn fractional daily efforts into continuous operational results. By creating strict Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) and deploying centralized CRM platforms, investors can confidently delegate repetitive tasks to global virtual assistants, ensuring that deal flow, lead management, and property analysis move forward automatically. This operational leverage completely detaches an investor's physical location and immediate schedule from their revenue-generating capacity, transforming a lack of time from an excuse into a catalyst for extreme operational efficiency.The macroeconomic landscape has fundamentally shifted, making passive buy-and-hold rental portfolios significantly more stable than highly volatile fixing-and-flipping or wholesaling models. Rapidly changing state legislation and regional market swings mean that holding residential real estate—specifically single-family homes and small multi-family units under four doors—offers the most predictable path to sustainable cash flow and capital preservation. Rather than chasing short-term transactional profits that expose the owner to massive tax liabilities and overhead risk, modern investors utilize tech-driven infrastructure to source and hold income-producing assets. This thesis-driven approach protects capital against inflation and provides a secure, predictable margin that traditional paper assets rarely replicate.Building an enterprise that operates seamlessly in the background also requires a deep commitment to personal balance and accountability. High-achievers frequently succumb to executive burnout by neglecting personal routines or failing to involve their families in their long-term entrepreneurial visions. Keith shares that true success is found when operational discipline is paired with intentional boundaries, allowing founders to step completely out of the "tactical firefighting" trap. By leveraging a comprehensive ecosystem that synthesizes specialized software, continuous education, and outside coaching, professionals can achieve a rare level of lifestyle freedom. This ensures that the ultimate reward of business optimization is not just increased profitability, but the reclamation of one's personal time and autonomy.About Keith GillispieKeith Gillispie is the Co-Founder of REI Automated and a decorated Marine Corps veteran with a specialized background in systems engineering. After successfully building his own nationwide real estate portfolio during his limited active-duty lunch breaks, Keith turned his proprietary frameworks into a scalable training and software ecosystem. He is a dedicated mentor who specializes in helping high-earning professionals replace administrative debt with automated real estate systems that drive long-term time and financial freedom.About REI AutomatedREI Automated is an all-in-one real estate investment infrastructure provider that combines advanced automation software, specialized marketing education, and elite coaching.

Jeff and Jim welcome back Henrique Teixeira, SVP of Strategy at Saviynt, for his fourth appearance on the podcast. The episode opens with Jim's firsthand experience building an AI agent for a work project and discovering in real time how identity management challenges surface in the agentic era. After conference updates on EIC in Berlin and Identiverse in Las Vegas, Henrique unpacks the crowded terminology around AI agent governance, from Gartner's agent management platforms to UADP, the Unified Agentic Defense Platform. He proposes a three-pillar framework for managing AI and non-human identities: discovery, identity lifecycle and governance, and runtime access management, with guidance on where to start depending on whether your organization is greenfield or legacy-heavy. The conversation then examines how AI is reshaping the analyst business model, what makes information sources trustworthy, and how proprietary inquiry data forms the real competitive moat for firms like Gartner and Forrester. The episode closes with a wide-ranging discussion on AI's risk to shared cultural experiences, hyper-personalized entertainment, and the ethics of licensing your digital identity in the afterlife.Connect with Henrique: https://www.linkedin.com/in/bernardes/Connect with us on LinkedIn:Jim McDonald: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jimmcdonaldpmp/Jeff Steadman: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jeffsteadman/Visit the show on the web at http://idacpodcast.com00:00:00 Intro00:00:55 Jim's AI Agent Experiment and Identity Lessons00:06:04 Conference News: EIC and Identiverse00:07:22 Identity Beer Community Events00:08:40 Introducing Henrique Teixeira00:12:00 AI Control Plane: Competing Terminologies00:17:36 Three Pillars of AI Agent Identity Management00:18:46 Why Visibility Matters More for NHI00:20:00 Ownership, Accountability, and Humans at the Control Plane00:24:26 Industry Maturity and the Gaps That Remain00:25:41 Where to Start: Governance-First vs. Visibility-First00:29:52 AI's Impact on the Analyst Profession00:34:57 What Analyst Firms Have That AI Cannot Replace00:39:04 Trust, Boutique Analysts, and Repeatability00:44:34 Proprietary AI Chatbots and Gated Intelligence00:49:30 IP Rights and the Legal Gray Zone of AI Training00:52:14 AI and the Erosion of Shared Cultural Experience00:58:00 AI Music, Personalized Entertainment, and the Future of Art01:03:47 Digital Afterlife, Voice Clones, and AI Personas01:08:18 Wrap-Up and ClosingKeywords: IDAC, Identity at the Center, Jeff Steadman, Jim McDonald, Henrique Teixeira, Saviynt, AI identity control plane, non-human identities, NHI, agentic AI, AI agents, AI governance, identity lifecycle, access management, discovery, agent management platform, UADP, IAM, Gartner, analyst firms, AI and culture, digital identity, identity security, EIC, Identiverse, identity beer

A Quick Note to Listeners: Before this week’s interview, Will Parker and Jen Schwanke take some time to answer a listener question. This week’s question is: I'm an assistant principal with 9 years of experience. I've made it to superintendent interviews to become principal of my school. K-8 with about 900 students. My competition is a 20 year veteran principal. How can I compete with that? What advice do you have? Listen in to hear their response! Meet Dr. Alli Phelps: Dr. Alli Phelps has spent more than twenty years dedicated to Educator Wellness, improving the lives of both teachers and students. Her experience spans classroom teaching, EL instruction, advocacy, mentoring, coaching, and school administration. She began teaching English in Australia in 1999, then returned to the U.S. to teach English and ESL at Homewood High School after completing her first Master's in Secondary English Education. She later earned a second Master's in ESL, which included cultural immersion work in Venezuela. In 2009, she moved to Shades Cahaba Elementary to teach K–5 EL students. In 2021, Alli was named Alabama's Elementary Teacher of the Year. She went on to earn her P–12 administration certification and complete a doctorate at Samford University focused on Educator Wellness. Today, Alli serves as Assistant Principal at Riverchase Elementary in Hoover City Schools. Outside of work, she loves running, yoga, reading, time with family and friends, and caring for her Great Dane rescue, Murphy. Understanding Educator Wellness: Dr. Ali Phelps, with over 20 years in education and recognized as Alabama’s Elementary Teacher of the Year, emphasizes the critical need for wellness among educators. She highlights that despite the passion educators have for their work, burnout is a common struggle. “Those aren’t mutually exclusive,” she notes, reflecting on her own experiences during the pandemic and the subsequent challenges faced by many in the education field. Research Focus: From Teacher to Administrator Wellness: Initially focusing her research on teacher wellness, Dr. Phelps discovered a significant gap regarding administrator wellness. She transitioned her research to explore how educational leaders manage their well-being amidst the demands of their roles. “There's a huge problem with administrators and educational leaders and how to get from managing this career to maintaining longevity over time,” she explains. Dr. Phelps conducted qualitative research involving interviews with high-performing administrators across the country to gather insights into effective practices. Three Pillars of Educator Wellness: 1. Physical Wellness: Dr. Phelps found that physical wellness is paramount for educators. Her research indicated that exercise, nutrition, hydration, and sleep play crucial roles in enhancing resilience. Many administrators reported that regular movement not only improved their physical health but also positively impacted their decision-making and overall performance. 2. Strong Boundaries: Another critical theme from her research was the importance of setting clear boundaries. As she puts it, “You have this job to support your family, you don't have this family to support your job.” This notion underscores the necessity for educators to prioritize personal time and model respect for boundaries within their teams. This discipline in maintaining boundaries helps prevent burnout and fosters a healthier work-life balance. 3. Aligning Values with Work: The third pillar involves connecting daily work to personal values. Dr. Phelps highlights that many educators enter the profession driven by a passion for service, and maintaining that connection is essential. Practices such as gratitude exercises, community engagement, and staying involved in classrooms help educators nurture their commitment to their core values, combating emotional fatigue and the challenges that come with the profession. Dr. Ali Phelps’ research sheds light on the vital aspects of educator wellness that can help sustain those dedicated to teaching. Her findings reveal that prioritizing physical wellness, setting strong boundaries, and aligning values with work are essential for maintaining a healthy and fulfilling career in education. As the landscape of education continues to evolve, these insights serve as a reminder of the importance of taking care of oneself in order to effectively serve students and communities.

What if the key to thriving in today's fast-paced world has been around for thousands of years? In this episode of The Greatness Machine, Darius Mirshahzadeh connects with ninth-generation doctor of Eastern medicine Dr. Jenelle Kim to explore the ancient principles behind modern wellness, longevity, and true inner balance. Dr. Jenelle shares the deeply personal story behind her book, “The Korean Art of Living Well: The Eight Keys of Living Meditation for Balance and Transformation,” a work inspired by her lineage and her father's legacy. Rooted in 10,000-year-old Daoist traditions, she introduces the three pillars of optimal living: medicine, movement, and mindset. The conversation dives into how modern life creates stagnation, mentally, physically, and spiritually, and how simple practices like breathwork, grounding, and even laughter can restore flow. Dr. Jenelle explains that true wellness comes down to function and flow, and that imbalance begins when we become stuck in our thoughts.
