Podcasts about Time management

Everybody's telling you AI is going to save you time, but nobody's handing you the full picture.I'll be upfront: I use AI every single day. It is a real, genuine part of how we run The Pink Bee. This is not a "AI is bad" episode. But I have been watching the conversation around AI get louder and louder, and something critical keeps getting left out of it. Because everything on this podcast is about time management, organization, and productivity, I felt like I had to say something.In this episode, I'm walking you through four hidden costs of implementing AI that nobody in this space seems to want to talk about. These aren't financial costs. They're time costs, and if you're planning to go all in on AI tools, you need to know what you're actually signing up for before you start.What You'll Learn:Why buying someone else's ready-made AI tools and expecting them to work for your business is not the shortcut it sounds likeThe sneaky cost that shows up months after you build something and catches most people completely off guardThe real reason so many people are creating more work for themselves with AI instead of lessHow I handle one specific hidden cost in my own business with a simple monthly calendar habitResources Mentioned:The AI Operating System Behind a 7-Figure Business with Gemma Bohan Carter: https://msumrell--gemmabonhamcarter.thrivecart.com/ai-all-stars-secret/673bb8c2ae01f/The AI Productivity System for High Performers with Callen Faulkner: myrootabl.com/r/IeNnsDs0?rootabl=megan_sumrell________________________________

If you've been hanging around here for a while, you know we talk a lot about time. But here's something I've noticed over and over again with the women I work with: once they start getting out of overwhelm with their time and their physical space, a third area starts showing up. Money. That's why in this episode, I brought personal finance expert and financial wellness speaker Linda Grizely onto the show. Because money overwhelm is real, it's connected to everything else on your plate, and it has almost nothing to do with how good you are at math. Linda breaks down why most financial advice fails women, how your money personality shapes every decision you make, and why understanding yourself (and your partner) is the real starting point for getting your finances under control.In This Episode, We Cover:Why money advice feels overwhelming and why most of it isn't actually built for youWhat your money personality is and how it shapes every financial decision you makeHow couples with opposite money personalities can stop fighting and start understanding each otherWhy "I'm not a numbers person" is keeping you stuck (and what actually matters instead)The "me money" approach that works for almost every money personality in a relationshipWhy so many women feel guilty spending money on themselves and how to start shifting thatMentioned in This Episode:What's Your Money Personality Quiz: https://bit.ly/MonPersQuizConnect with Linda Grizely:www.lindagriz.comwww.instagram.com/lindagrizelywww.facebook.com/thelindagrizelywww.linkedin.com/in/linda-grizelyhttps://www.youtube.com/@LindaGrizely ________________________________

Joined this week by Lamar Skinner. Lamar opens up about the battle that nearly kept him stuck — addiction to pornography, self-doubt, shame, and constantly making excuses for the man he had become. He shares the real moments that forced him to take ownership of his life, including a simple moment on a lawn mower where he realized nobody was coming to save him and change had to start with him.We dive deep into what it actually takes to break destructive habits, face the truth head-on, and build standards that don't bend when life gets hard. Lamar talks about leaning into faith, embracing discipline, and becoming the type of man who leads himself first so he can lead others well.This conversation is raw, honest, and packed with perspective for any man who knows he's capable of more but feels stuck in the cycle of comfort, shame, or inconsistency.

Is it possible to remain calm and focused when everything around us is getting faster, noisier and seemingly more demanding?  I think it is, and in this week's episode, I'll share some of my insights so you, too, can remain productive in a quiet, focused way.  Links: Email Me | Twitter | Facebook | Website | Linkedin   Learn more about the Quiet Productivity Method here Get Your Copy Of Your Time, Your Way: Time Well Managed, Life Well Lived   The Working With… Weekly Newsletter Carl Pullein Learning Centre Carl's YouTube Channel Carl Pullein Coaching Programmes Subscribe to my Substack  The Working With… Podcast Previous episodes page   Script | 418 Hello, and welcome to episode 418 of the Your Time, Your Way Podcast. A podcast to answer all your questions about productivity, time management, self-development, and goal planning. My name is Carl Pullein, and I am your host of this show.  Recently, I had a call with one of my coaching clients who is completely on board with AI. He's gone down the usual rabbit hole of ChatGPT, then Claude, then back to ChatGPT, then to Google's Gemini and now he's obsessed with Claude again.  It reminded me of the late twenty-teens when everyone was switching between Evernote, Notion, Apple Notes, and then Roam Research. It was an amusing merry-go-round.  One of the ironic things about my client is that he'd had to wake up at 5:00 am to review the materials for a workshop he was delivering that day because he suddenly thought Claude might not have given the correct information, and he needed to check everything before 9:00 am.  I asked him how long he usually took to prepare for a workshop like this, and he replied that it normally took three or four hours. However, he said emphatically, with Claude's help, it's taking him around six to eight hours. I did point out the obvious. With AI's help, it's taking twice as long, but he dismissed that, saying AI was the future and that by doing it this way, he was learning and would eventually be faster.  Fair point.  But he did have to wake up two hours earlier than normal. Not something I would enjoy doing.  This reminded me that life, whether it's our personal or our professional lives, shouldn't be lived at speed. Life should be lived at our own pace.  Two YouTube videos I recently watched emphasised this. One was by Matt D' Avella, and the other was from Samurai Matcha.  In Matt's video, entitled I Tried to Optimise my Life. It made it Worse, Matt pointed out that trying to live a productive life left him feeling frustrated. All the curated lists and time blocks on his calendar just set him up for failure.  If he didn't clear his to-do list or he was unable to follow his time blocks, he'd end the day feeling that he'd failed. This left him feeling miserable all evening and wondering what was wrong with him. Then I watched Samurai Matcha's video entitled “10 Real Japanese Organisation Tricks”, in which he explained why his girlfriend's organisation philosophy was brilliant.  Her philosophy was that the goal of organising is to always know where everything is. This meant that things were stacked so you could see what was in a cupboard or refrigerator as soon as you opened the door. That clothes were arranged so that, just by looking in a wardrobe, you could instantly see what was in there.  It isn't about having everything look pretty and tidy, only to be unable to find what you are looking for. It's about knowing instantly where everything is.  So there you have one person trying to optimise everything and setting himself up for failure every day. And another who is essentially working by her own logic, making her life as simple and easy as possible.  You can guess who was the more relaxed, settled and happy with life.  And this is the point. Life's not about optimising everything. We're human beings, but we're trying to turn ourselves into machines that can be programmed to wake up at a particular time, jump into a bath of freezing water, do a two-hour morning exercise routine, spend an hour writing morning pages and then finish it all off with twenty minutes of meditation.  That's not what life is about at all.  One way to get started in creating a calmer, quieter way of living is to begin with your non-negotiables. What are the things you must do each day? There are the obvious ones, such as sleeping, brushing your teeth, washing and eating. Most of those our bodies have ways of ensuring we do them. We get sleepy, and we get hungry.  But what other things would be non-negotiable for you?  For me, taking Louis out for his walk, doing a little exercise and enjoying a cup of tea with my wife when she gets home from university are non-negotiable at a personal level.  At a professional level, my non-negotiable is spending 2 hours a day creating. That could be writing, recording or planning. It doesn't matter what I create; all that matters is that I create something.  And that's it. Together, that's around four to five hours a day.  Once you have established what your non-negotiables are, it becomes easy to say no to things that could interfere with them.  Another way to bring some calm and quiet back into your life is to focus on time not what you have to do.  Let me explain.  Most of what comes at us each day is not within our control. You do not know how many Slack or Teams messages you will get today. Neither do you know how many emails you will get nor what you will be asked to do.  What you do know is how much time you can dedicate to these inputs.  Over the years, I've learnt that if I allow 40 minutes or so each day to respond to my actionable messages and emails, I'll mostly stay on top of my communications. Sure, occasionally I am behind, but as I can see I am getting behind, I can allow a little extra time to catch up if necessary.  I also know that if I have two hours a day to create, I'll always hit my publication schedule.  If you work on projects, what would happen if you dedicated 2 hours a day to quiet, focused work on them? No distractions, no interruptions, just quiet, focused work. From the people I've worked with who have done this, they're amazed at just how much work they get done each week. And how deadlines no longer become stressful or missed.  Two hours may not seem much, but over a working week, that's ten uninterrupted hours. Ten hours you know you will not be interrupted by anyone.  The great thing about this approach is that you gain control over your time. And with a little consistency, you soon find yourself on top of your work.  You also learn where your limits are.  I know my brain gets tired around the 90-minute to 2-hour mark of focused work.  Sure, there are days I would love to spend three hours in focused work, but experience has taught me that the extra hour is a wasted hour. I make more mistakes; I start snatching a quick look at my messages and emails, looking for anything to distract me. That pile of washing suddenly needs to be put away, or those cups and dishes need washing and putting away.  Once you know your limits, you can work within them.  This approach is a more human way to go about your day. It's not optimised to create impossible days, leaving you feeling exhausted, unfulfilled and disappointed with yourself.  It's set up to work with your strengths and, more importantly, with your biorhythms. Your body's natural rhythms.  The advantage of this kinder, calmer way of going about your day is that you naturally slow down. You have the space to deal with the urgencies and the demands of your bosses, clients and colleagues. And that results in fewer mistakes, leaving you with less corrective work to do.  The problem with being human is that we are really quite fragile. My client, who woke up at 5:00 am to fix Claude's mistakes, will find the afternoon a dead zone. He'll be exhausted and trying to operate at 100% with less than five hours of sleep.  That lack of sleep will likely affect his food choices at lunchtime. He'll probably grab a quick sandwich or something else high in carbohydrates, which will spike his insulin levels, leaving him feeling drowsy afterwards.  And then we're also susceptible to all sorts of bugs and illnesses, which can have a debilitating effect on our energy levels.  Again, not within our control unless we seal ourselves off from the outside world. Not a great idea.  I can assure you that the best approach to managing time and improving your productivity is to be human about it. Work with you and your natural state, rather than trying to be like a machine.  Take care of your three foundations: get enough sleep, eat healthy and move frequently.  Then, have a plan for the day. Not a minute-by-minute plan, but one that takes care of your non-negotiables, allows for some focused work time and has enough flexibility to take care of unknowns that will inevitably pop up throughout the day.  Since the 1980s, technological advances have consistently promised us less work and more leisure time. And yet that's never materialised. Instead, the opposite happens.  Smartphones took business communications out of the office and made them omnipresent, leaving us with no place to hide. The desktop computer eliminated the typing pool and left managers and executives responsible for crafting their own letters and emails.  Cloud computing eliminated the filing cabinet and placed company documents within our reach 24/7, even when we were supposed to be on vacation.  What's more, all this technological advancement has sped everything up. And it's this speeding up that has left us with so much more to do. What used to take us three or four days to do is now expected to be done in an hour.  That's where the problem is.  Fortunately, there are ways to mitigate this: be human. Make your own decisions about what you work on and when. Wrestle back control of your calendar and protect time to do the things that matter.  These are simple steps, not easy to implement initially, but worth putting the effort into implementing them.  As Matt D'Avella has discovered, and Samurai Matcha's girlfriend already knew, keeping things human, simple and logical to yourself is the best way to live in a calm, quiet, focused way. Now, before I go, if what you've heard today in this podcast resonated with you and you want to learn more, my Quiet Productivity Method programme will do just that.  Recently updated to cover your non-negotiables, the superb daybook system and how to plan your days and weeks so you are living within your time means, this programme will teach you, step by step, how to create a system that works for you. How to find time for what you want, and much more. In addition, you will also become a part of the Quiet Productivity Method community, where you can share ideas, ask questions and join the monthly live sessions that will answer your questions and hold you accountable as you move away from the unsustainable task-based systems of old and towards a sustainable, humane, time-based system.  I do hope you can join me.  Thank you for listening, and it just remains for me now to wish you all a very, very productive week.

Do you ever feel like you're doing everything right, yet somehow still falling behind?If you run an independent retail business, you are not imagining things. Between buying stock, managing your team, keeping up with your marketing, handling customer service, and everything else that lands on your desk — the sheer volume of what your job involves would overwhelm anyone.This is not a time management failure. It is simply the reality of running a retail business single-handedly.But there is a question underneath all of this that most retailers never stop to ask, and it is the one that changes everything.Hi, I'm retail strategist and founder of Resilient Retail Club, Catherine Erdly. And in this episode of the Resilient Retail Game Plan, I'm unpacking the framework I use with my one-to-one clients in my Retail by Design programme — a step-by-step approach to understanding how you're really spending your time, building a structure that actually works, and protecting the focused work hours that move your business forward.If you have been telling yourself for months that you will start that project "when things slow down" — this episode is for you. I work with clients who have just two hours a day after the kids are in bed, and clients who get one day a week away from the shop floor. The system I'm sharing works at every capacity level. Listen to the end to discover a clear, practical path out of the overwhelm — and toward a calmer, more intentional, and ultimately more profitable week.Listener Benefits (What You'll Discover)Why most independent retailers have less time than they think — and why that's actually the start of something usefulThe exact time-tracking method that reveals where your hours are really going (with a free tool recommendation)How to build a weekly structure around your BAU tasks so you're not starting from scratch every MondayWhy being "always available" is silently costing you hours every week — and the simple boundaries that fix it

⏱️ Heute im Nerdbusiness Podcast: Time Management – und was falsches Management zerstören kann Heute reden wir über eines der wichtigsten Themen im Business überhaupt: Time Management. Denn Zeit ist nicht nur Geld – Zeit ist Energie, Fokus und Lebensqualität. In dieser Folge spreche ich darüber, was passiert, wenn das Management der eigenen Zeit nicht funktioniert. Projekte bleiben liegen. Deadlines verschieben sich. Stress steigt. Und irgendwann verliert man nicht nur Produktivität, sondern auch Motivation. Schlechtes Time Management kostet oft mehr als Geld:

Procrastination doesn't just cost you time, it creates an energy that actually blocks money.  When we delay for tomorrow what can be done today, we are setting our minds to believe we are the kind of people who don't keep promises to ourselves, which directly impacts our income flow. When you have the catalyst to shift you out of self created chaos and into a state of aligned follow through, you can feel accomplished and truly productive. By reverse engineering into the feeling of being ahead, you activate the version of yourself who is highly successful and ready to receive abundance.  Push play to stop the productivity illusion... and start allowing time to be the asset that fuels your money making legacy.   PS. Take the TIME TURNER QUIZ to start managing your time in a magical new way.

If you're running a contracting business and burning 60+ hours a week in the trenches, this conversation will show you why more hours ≠ more results—and give you practical methods for how to get more done in less time without sacrificing your margin or your mental health.What you'll learn: The surprising results of Chris Bailey's 90-hour productivity experiment Why working longer hours actually destroys your output (and the data that proves it)How to transition from "warrior" mode to "system-builder" mode in your businessSimple, research-backed methods for intentional productivity The real cost of contractor burnout—and how to prevent it Why the most productive contractors work fewer hours, not moreWhether you're stuck in the trenches or building systems to scale, this episode will change how you think about time, energy, and what it actually takes to grow a profitable contracting business.00:00-Intro02:12-Addiction to Distractions 03:55-Impact of Tech on Focus 09:51-Lessons from Boredom Experiment17:08-The Power of Wandering in Leadership20:00-Busyness Versus Productivity 28:17-Training Brain Presence 31:51-Sleep and Productivity Myths

Most fitness business owners share the same bottleneck: the operator. Because you're often the founder, marketer, CFO, and coach, your business can't grow beyond your own capacity, skills, and decision-making. This episode reframes growth as an “executive coaching” problem and shares a practical four-step self-coaching framework to raise your ceiling without defaulting to hiring. Step 1 is Clarity (e.g., “What are you optimising for?”, “What's my biggest priority?”, or “What don't I want?”). Step 2 is Strategy (choose a path that fits you, not a one-size-fits-all model). Step 3 is Execution (close the intention-to-action gap by putting priorities in your diary and deleting misaligned tasks). Step 4 is Reflection (weekly check-ins to iterate and course-correct). Connect on Instagram @mattrobinsonpt or at mattrobinsoncoaching.com.

⏱️ Heute im Nerdbusiness Podcast: Time Management – und was falsches Management zerstören kann Heute reden wir über eines der wichtigsten Themen im Business überhaupt: Time Management. Denn Zeit ist nicht nur Geld – Zeit ist Energie, Fokus und Lebensqualität. In dieser Folge spreche ich darüber, was passiert, wenn das Management der eigenen Zeit nicht funktioniert. Projekte bleiben liegen. Deadlines verschieben sich. Stress steigt. Und irgendwann verliert man nicht nur Produktivität, sondern auch Motivation. Schlechtes Time Management kostet oft mehr als Geld:

This week, we're reposting one of our top episodes from back in October 2025. With all the options out there—strength training, cardio, recovery tools, nutrition strategies, supplements—it's easy to feel overwhelmed trying to "do it all." But the truth is, you don't have to. In this episode, we're pulling back the curtain on how we prioritize our own health and fitness routines based on real life, current goals, evolving interests, and actual needs—not trends. We break down: · Why we don't always do what's "optimal" · How we adjust protocols based on seasons of life · How we choose the way we're going to train · What we're saying no to in order to say yes to what matters most · How to build a plan that reflects your priorities Whether you're deep in a training block, just getting back into a routine, or trying to juggle it all—this episode will help you simplify, focus, and make your fitness serve your life.

If the end of the school year is feeling like a highlight reel of forgotten deadlines, last-minute store runs, and late-night stress in your house, it's worth asking why this keeps happening, because it's probably not the first time, and without the right tools in place, it won't be the last.We drop kids into a system that goes from one teacher and one classroom straight to seven different teachers, seven different styles, and seven different ways of assigning work, and then wonder why everything feels like it's coming out of nowhere. That's not a kid problem. That's a lack of skills training, and the good news is it's completely fixable before the next school year starts.In this episode, I'm walking you through the four-level planning framework I built specifically for students, the same one we teach inside TOP for Students. Stick with me, because what I share in here changes the game at home, not just for your kid, but for you too.In This Episode, I'll Cover:Why the transition to middle school creates a planning crisis most families never see comingThe real reason school-issued planners stop working by week twoA four-level planning framework built for a student's actual life, from semester overview to daily check-inHow to make this a family process that takes things off your plate instead of adding to themWhat it looks like when your kid can actually advocate for their own timeMentioned in the episode:TOP for Students Pre-Sale Happening NOW through May 31st!

Most people think becoming a parent means putting your health on the back burner. We think that's backwards. When you've got kids watching you, your habits stop being “personal” and start becoming the culture of your home. We talk candidly about the early parenting grind, why you need some grace, and why you still need a plan to keep moving even when your energy is gone and your schedule is wrecked.Then we go straight at the biggest modern time leak: screen time. If you “don't have time” to train, we challenge you to look at your phone's screen time breakdown and do the math. We share practical, realistic tactics to cut doom scrolling without pretending you can live like a monk, including app blockers, physical friction tools, and simple household rules that make it easier to be present with your kids. We also get into training during pregnancy and why context matters: your base fitness, smart scaling, and safe movement beat fear and outdated opinions.From there, we unpack why people fall off once they hit a goal or miss it. Unrealistic timelines, shallow motivation, and identity-based goals can all wreck consistency. Our answer is a foundation-first approach built around healthspan, metabolic health, strength training, and VO2 max, with performance goals as short, motivating seasons. If you want better confidence and discipline, build capability you can't buy, inherit, or fake.If this hit a nerve, share it with a parent who needs it, subscribe for more, and leave a review.

Joined this week by Jake Griffin. We dive into the myths most people are still buying —like crushing yourself with intense workouts or chasing shortcuts through peptides and energy drinks. Instead, he brings it back to what actually works: simple, sustainable habits. Think real food swaps, homemade shakes, cutting the energy drink dependency, and making nutrition something you can actually enjoy.We get into his go-to food hacks that make progress feel effortless—how to work in “cheat meals” without the guilt, why fruit might be the most underrated tool in your diet, and how to keep things fun without falling off track. He also dives into the role social media plays in your health—how it can either pull you off course or push you forward—and why real results start internally, not with chasing a look.

After 30 years of coaching, I can tell you the number one thing that determines whether you're going to work in this industry or not work in this industry. It's not talent. It's not training. It's not who you know. It's your time management. Because time is something we all have. The question is are you going to take advantage of the time you have, or are you going to be like 95% of the other actors out there and not take advantage of it? What "Working On Your Career" Actually Looks Like Some actors tell me they're working on their career every day. And when I actually look at what they're doing it's totally scattered. It's all over the place. They're scrolling casting sites. They're worrying about an agent or a manager or a casting director or a producer. Worrying is not working on your acting career. They're thinking about auditions that haven't even happened yet. One of my favorite quotes is from Michael Jordan, who said why would I worry about a shot I haven't even taken yet? Why would you worry about an audition you haven't done yet? Why would you worry about a moment you haven't even lived yet? And the other thing I see a lot is actors watching other people's careers online. Watching what their friends are booking, what their acquaintances are doing. Which is really great for your self-esteem. All of this stuff feels busy. But it is not the same thing as moving your career forward. Acting careers are not built on random bursts of effort. They are built on consistent, focused action. Those tiny little steps and tiny little decisions you make every day. That is what a career is built on. The Waiting Trap One of the biggest traps I see is what I call waiting energy. You're waiting for an audition. Waiting for an agent to call. Waiting for a callback. Waiting for the big break. Or you're telling yourself, well once I'm done with this audition or this show, then I'll get to it. That is one of the biggest traps ever. Acting careers don't move forward because you wait well. They move forward because you keep building. Gabrielle Bernstein says the universe responds to the energy you bring to it. If you are bringing waiting energy, guess what you're going to get back? A lot more waiting. But when you operate from creative action, opportunities tend to increase. Not overnight. But they do, steadily. The Three Parts of a Successful Acting Career I talk about this in the weekly classes, in the Working Actor Roadmap, on this podcast, and to anyone who will listen. The first part is the craft. Acting training, scene work, voiceover classes, voice and movement training, rehearsing material. Meditation, yoga, working out. All of it. Because that is the foundation. And it's not about thinking about rehearsing that monologue. It's about actually rehearsing the monologue. The second part is the business. Are you submitting? Are you networking? Are your materials up to date? Are you keeping your business on a schedule? Are you reaching out to agents, managers, casting directors, producers, writers? And are you staying consistent with it? It's about the baby steps every day. The third part is the core energy work. Rest, exercise, relationships, finances, meditation. Taking care of yourself and making sure your mindset is sharp. That all of your thoughts are working for you. I think of it like this. I am a cell phone and the universe is a cell phone tower. How I communicate to that tower is not through my thoughts and not even so much through my actions. It's through my feelings. Feelings are your currency. If you're not feeling good, you're telling the universe you want more of that. Why Structure Creates Freedom So many actors resist structure. I was one of them. I worried that structure would make me feel rigid. But that is just a thought I kept thinking and a story I kept telling myself that was false. The truth is that structure creates freedom. Freedom because I know where my energy is going each week. I stop spinning in circles. Instead of wondering what to do next, I already know. Certain days for training. Certain days for career work. Certain days for creative work. That rhythm gives you so much freedom and removes a tremendous amount of anxiety. Momentum comes from movement. Careers rarely change because of one big moment. They change through consistent focused effort over time. The actors who last in this industry are not always the busiest. One of my favorite mantras is I can do less and attract more. But you only get there by staying consistent, showing up, and managing your time efficiently and with accountability. The Bottom Line If you want to do different things in your life you need to become a different person. Working actors are intentional with their energy. They treat their acting life like a profession, not a hobby. They create rhythms and they start to love that rhythm. All I need you to do is sign up and show up. Want to Keep the Conversation Going? I have a weekly class and I want you to try it. The first one is free, and if you like it you can continue to join us. And as I always say, stay safe and treat yourself real well.

What if the problem isn't your schedule but your energy? In this episode of Dominate Your Day, I challenge the traditional focus on time management. Many leaders spend their days optimizing calendars and workflows, yet still end up drained. Why? Because time is neutral it's alignment that determines whether an activity energizes or depletes you. When your work taps into your strengths, values, and mission, it creates energy. When it doesn't, even a short task can leave you exhausted. The key to managing energy is emotional recognition your ability to read how different activities impact you in real time. Treat your emotions as performance data, using them to identify what fuels or drains you. Listen in to learn simple practices to help you shift from operating on empty to leading with sustainable energy. Top 3 Takeaways: 1. Time management won't fix burnout alignment will. It's not about how long you spend on tasks, but whether those tasks align with your strengths, values, and mission. 2. Your emotions are your most accurate energy data. Paying attention to what energizes or drains you provides real-time insight into how to adjust your leadership for better performance. 3. Sustainable leadership requires intentional energy design. Simple actions like tracking energy patterns, protecting your peak hours, and building in recovery help you lead with consistency, clarity, and endurance.

FREE Two Day Event: The Farm Marketing Fix - June 2026 Sign Up HERE Episode Summary Julie Hackman raises sheep on Belmont Springs Ranch in Lavina, Montana. She's a mother of 19 children, 8 still at home and homeschooled. And a few years ago, after 30 years of marriage, she lost her husband. For three decades, her husband led the vision for their farm. Julie supported. Then suddenly, she was alone at her kitchen table with a farm to run, little hearts to soothe, and no idea where to begin. In this conversation, Julie shares how joining The Profitable Farmer program helped her triple her meat sales in one year, build the confidence to lead her own business, and rediscover who she is as a farmer, a mother, and a woman. This is one of the most meaningful conversations I've recorded; a story of grief, resilience, and what becomes possible when a woman finally invests in herself. What You'll Learn in This Episode How Julie went from $460 in meat sales to over $1,400 in her first year applying The Profitable Farmer marketing system The specific strategy that helped her triple her email signups at a single homesteaders conference Why "waiting for customers to come to you" is killing your farm sales, and what to do instead How to shift your mindset from passive housewife to confident business leader The exact phrase that helped Julie stop being intimidated by inspectors, vendors, and gatekeepers Why pricing your products at the real cost is an act of service, not greed How to build a family schedule that supports your business instead of derailing it What changes when you start seeing marketing as serving your customers instead of selling to them Key Moments from the Conversation Sitting at the Kitchen Table, Lost Julie shares what was happening in her life when she first encountered Charlotte's free farm marketing workshop — homeschooling her children, grieving the loss of her husband, and feeling completely lost about the direction of her business. The Conference That Changed Everything Julie describes walking into the Modern Homesteaders Conference and going from 14 email signups the previous year to 44 in a single day. Her kids looked at her and said, "Who are you, mom? You're acting like dad." Becoming the Squeaky Wheel The coaching call that changed everything. Julie shares how Charlotte helped her stop being passive with the meat inspector and become "the squeaky wheel" — leading to her wholesale meat license arriving in two weeks instead of months. Tripling Sales in One Year Julie breaks down the actual numbers: from $98 in total sales the year before joining the program to $15,600 in her first year, with meat sales tripling specifically. The Pricing Conversation How Julie sat down with the math, faced the discomfort of charging $17 a pound for lamb, and discovered she was actually charging less than competitors when averaged across all cuts. Marketing as Service The mindset that transformed Julie's selling: "How can I serve one person today?" and how this turned everyday conversations, including with her hairstylist, into customer relationships. Time Management with 8 Kids at Home Julie's brilliant adaptation of the time management system: building one master schedule that includes her entire family, not just herself. Notable Quotes from Julie Hackman "I had not really a clear idea of what I wanted to do or how to do it, and I had no confidence at all." "Are you okay, mom? What happened to you? You're acting like dad." "Now I feel like we're a team. I understand that other people have problems too. It's not so much being the squeaky wheel as just reminding them you're there." "It's a lot more rewarding than just 'I need to go sell meat.' Now it's 'I can go help somebody today.'" "What you're going to get out of it is probably going to be a lot more than what you're going to put into it financially." About Julie Hackman Julie Hackman is the owner of Belmont Springs Ranch in Lavina, Montana, where she raises pasture-based lamb and direct-sells meat to families across the region. She is the mother of 19 children, grandmother of 7, and continues to homeschool the children still at home while running her farm business. After the loss of her husband, Julie joined The Profitable Farmer program in April 2025 and has tripled her meat sales while building the confidence and skills to lead her family business forward.  Resources Mentioned in This Episode Farm Marketing Week — Seven Days of Free Marketing Expertise: charlottemsmith.com/masterclass  The Profitable Farmer — Charlotte's signature marketing and mindset mastery program for farmers: charlottemsmith.com/mastery The Power of One — the marketing principle that first caught Julie's attention in Charlotte's free workshop - taught during Farm Marketing Week Who This Episode Is For This episode is for you if you're a woman farmer who has been the supporter and now finds yourself needing to lead. If you've experienced loss, grief, or major life transition and wonder if you can still build something meaningful. If you're a mother trying to balance farming, family, and your own dreams. If you've been hesitant to invest in yourself and your business. If you're tired of waiting passively for customers and ready to learn how to actively build a profitable farm. If you're a homeschooling parent looking for proof that you can build a business alongside teaching your children.

I have a total love-hate relationship with summer. I am always so ready for it to come, ready to ditch the alarm clocks and the get-ready-for-school morning routine, ready for more freedom and less structure. And then halfway through I find myself craving the structure back, caught in this endless tug of war between still having a company to run, wanting time for myself, and also actually enjoying summer with my daughter.I brought Erin Port on the show because she has a framework for summer that I think every mom needs to hear. She breaks the season into three distinct stages, each with its own rhythm and intention, and we get into exactly how to plan for each one so you're not white-knuckling it from June through August.In This Episode, You'll Discover:Why the transition from May into June is harder than it should be, and the simple "kickoff week" idea Erin uses to ease her family in without the frictionHow a "what matters" list with your kids can replace the overwhelming bucket list that leaves you feeling like you failed the summerA strategy to protect the end of summer so your whole family lands in September without running on emptyConnect with Erin:www.simplepurposefulliving.comwww.instagram.com/simplepurposefullivingwww.facebook.com/simplepurposefulliving ________________________________

Hello voices from the bench community, John Wilson here and I wanted to share some news about the evolution of the Programill lineup. Most importantly, Ivoclar's new PrograMill 7. What stands out right away is the reduced air consumption this mill requires, but what you'll notice first is that impressive new touchscreen. For us, the biggest advantage has been increased spindle power. My laboratory's known for these larger cases with complex geometries, and I can tell you that extra power really makes a difference. Next time you see your Ivoclar representative, be sure to ask about the PrograMill 7 and tell them John Wilson sent you. Thank you. At exocad Insights in beautiful Mallorca, we finally caught up with Felix from Imagine USA—and the timing couldn't have been better. As an exocad dealer on the front lines of digital dentistry, Felix shared his excitement about the strong turnout, the familiar faces, and most importantly, the innovation coming from exocad. What stood out most? The new exocad Hub and its cloud-based capabilities, along with powerful AI-driven tools inside DentalDB designed for efficient batch processing. For Felix and the Imagine team, it's not just about seeing what's new—it's about putting it to the test. By running new features through their own production facility first, they ensure real-world performance before bringing solutions to their customers. Beyond the technology, Felix emphasized the value of being there in person—connecting face-to-face with partners, having meaningful conversations, and stepping back to see where the industry is headed. And of course, doing it all in Mallorca doesn't hurt either. This episode finally brings a long-awaited conversation to life with Kent Kohli, a name many in the industry recognize—but maybe don't fully know the story behind. From an unexpected entry into dentistry (thanks to marrying his orthodontist's daughter) to becoming a lifelong student of ceramics and education, Kent's journey is anything but typical. What starts as a pre-dental path quickly shifts once Kent discovers the lab side of dentistry—and more importantly, where his passion truly lives. From pouring models and grinding metal to studying under legends like John Archibald, Kent shares how mentorship, curiosity, and relentless work ethic shaped his career. Along the way, he opens up about the early struggles—working 100-hour weeks, barely making ends meet, and choosing quality over the “race to the bottom” that burned out many of his peers. Kent dives deep into the evolution of dental technology, from the early days of PFMs and Empress to today's digital workflows and liquid ceramics. But at the heart of it all is a consistent theme: education. Whether it's learning from the “giants” of the industry or now helping guide the next generation through his role at Ivoclar, Kent sees it as a responsibility to pass on what was given to him. He also shares insights into his current mission—bringing hands-on education back to the forefront, blending traditional techniques with modern materials, and helping technicians elevate their craft beyond just production. Rising costs, tighter deadlines, and greater demands are challenging labs everywhere. When efficiency matters, you need tools that deliver—every day. Roland DGShape milling solutions are reliable and easy to use. Just turn them on and let them run—no babysitting required. Fewer remakes and less wasted material mean your team can focus on getting cases out the door. With the Elevate Denture solution, step into digital dentures without disrupting your workflow.
