I'll admit it—I didn't expect to love this book. But Feel Good Productivity by Ali Abdaal completely surprised me, and today, I'm breaking down why.As a time management and productivity expert, I've read a lot of productivity books. And let's be honest—most of them are written with men in mind, filled with rigid routines and advice that simply doesn't work for women juggling careers, families, and everything in between. I went into this book skeptical, but what I found was a refreshing, realistic take on productivity that actually fits real life—especially if you struggle with procrastination, burnout, or feeling disconnected from how you spend your time.In This Episode, We'll Explore:The three-part framework of Feel Good Productivity and how it applies to womenWhy traditional productivity advice often fails for women (and how this book is different)My favorite takeaways and actionable tips for balancing productivity with real lifeWho I think should absolutely read this—and who might not need toIf you've ever felt like productivity books don't take into account the mental load, caregiving, or constant demands on your time, this episode will show you a new way to think about productivity—one that prioritizes joy, energy, and real progress.Mentioned in the episode:Feel-Good Productivity: How to Do More of What Matters to You: www.rb.gy/2izdlhWant to see more of my favorite books?

Many leaders believe that it's important for them to get agreement from others before making a decision. Yet this consensus-focused approach often results in delayed projects, diluted ideas, and teams that only appear aligned on the surface.In this episode, Ramona Shaw examines how the pursuit of consensus, while well-intentioned, can actually hinder team performance and decision-making. She shares practical insights from her work with startups and established organizations where consensus-seeking had unexpected consequences and what to do instead.Ramona explores:- The natural appeal of consensus and why it feels right- What really happens in meetings when everyone seems to agree- The connection between consensus and conflict avoidance- A clear framework for when to seek agreement - and when not toIf you believe that a group of people with diverse perspectives makes for a better team, then aiming for actual consensus is a misdirected effort.If this resonates with you, then check out our latest episode of The Manager Track podcast HERE.Or watch it on YouTube HERE.Reflective Questions:- When has seeking agreement slowed down an important project?- What decisions could have been made faster without full consensus?- How often do team discussions end in safe but uninspiring compromises?- Does quick agreement in meetings reflect true alignment or something else?— RESOURCES MENTIONED —- Check out the Complete Guide: Building Effective New Managers- Learn how to turn your 1-on-1 meetings from time wasters, awkward moments, status updates, or non-existent into your most important and valuable meeting with your directs all week.

Male fertility matters, just as equally as females. And stressfully, following current projections, sperm counts are set to reach zero in 2045!After all, they are 50% of the baby. So infertility does not solely rest on the woman's shoulders, nor does miscarriage or recurrent miscarriage. Sperm quality impacts early pregnancy loss odds significantly.Falling sperm counts in the last few decades are “threatening human survival” and leading to a fertility crisis. About 40 percent of infertility cases can be traced to male factors, such as sperm count, semen quality.Sperm are easily damaged from lifestyle factors, and there are many factors that are known to interfere with sperm quality. Topics mentionedThe EARTH study. Dietary factors that lower and increase sperm countsModifiable lifestyle factors that have been show to increase sperm qualityChemicals to avoid to improve sperm healthNutrients that encourage optimal sperm healthWhat poor sperm quality is linked toIf you are wanting more help with your fertility, we love to help people make babies so you can Book in for a 1:1 consultation with any of our practitionersAre we insta friends?

Meet Julie Nycum, CPCU, RPLU, ARM, the current director of AANA Insurance Services, providing medical malpractice to CRNAs across the country through Medical Protective (med pro). Julie worked for Medical Protective (med pro), a Berkshire Hathaway Company writing 2 billion in policies a year for 24 years as Vice President of Underwriting. In 2006 she met with AANA insurance services on behalf of med pro to develop the medical malpractice services AANA uses today. On this podcast we talk about:Occurrence vs Claims made and how important it is to know the difference related to YOUR risk and why over time claims made is MORE expensiveBuying claims made "tail" isn't as simple as it sounds. Or as good.Time does not start until discovery starts. Might be past your claims-made policy and then YOU are on the hook.Consent to Settle & Hammer Clauses (Scary Stuff)You can be named (and need coverage) for NON-Anesthesia issuesPolicies may cover a lot more than you are aware of like lost wages etc.What does "1 million per occurrence and 3 million aggregate" coverage mean?Why 1/3 mil vs 250/500K per claim/aggregates are different in different states? Should you get a 1/3 policy anyway?What happens if a claim went OVER the max/occurrence (1 million) policy? You pay that is what happens. Why does Admitted vs Non-Admitted matter? The Oceanus StoryDoes AM Best matter to providers or facilities?How the size of an insurance company impacts the lawyers you get access toIf you own an anesthesia company should you have special insurance for your contractors for vicarious liability?If you are covered by a groups policy should you also have your own to protect your interest?Does a settlement result in you being reported to the national practitioner databank? Is there any increased cost for med mal for an independent CRNA to the CRNA?Is there extra cost for the facility or surgeon working with an independent CRNA?Is there decreased cost for the CRNA or facility when working in an Anesthesia Care Team with a physician anesthesiologist? "liability shield"If you do ketamine clinics, medical aesthetics, IV infusion work does your CRNA medical malpractice cover these things?Medical Malpractice rates have not increased for CRNAs at Med Pro for 14 years. Now they are increasing, why and what does that mean?When do you have to report to the med mal company? Can you self-trigger coverage by hearing something might happen or when an event occurs? Can claims made do this?Whats the process and length of time of a claim?Addendum: If you are threatened with a claim (lawsuit) you should report that to medpro in writing ASAP.

Typically, Truth Tastes Funny episodes are stand-alones, surfing freely from one topic to another. However, response to Season 2/Episode 14 with Therapy Twins Joan and Jane Landino has been so strong, that I am bookending it with Rabbi Alfredo Borodowski - aka "The Bipolar Rabbi." Bipolar disorder symptoms can be misleading. Manic moods can lead a sufferer to believe they are invincible, that they are beyond treatment, rejecting bipolar medication. Further, as my interview with Rabbi Borodowski reveals, we are still in the very early stages of mining the mentally ill for insights that can change the game in terms of treatment for mental health issues of all kinds.The Rabbi's work goes far beyond mental health awareness or even treatment. "I want the mentally ill to package this knowledge and sell it to the world. I want the mentally ill to be entrepreneurial," he says. "Those of us with mental illness have not yet bought into our own strengths. We are looking at ourselves like second-class citizens. We have to shift a paradigm about how we see ourselves. Stigma is not going to diminish because we beg for compassion. Stigma is going to diminish because we bring to the world our added value and contribution, and because we take our place as players around the table of proactive wisdom."Find Rabbi Borodowski here:https://www.bipolarrabbi.com/https://www.facebook.com/bipolarrabbihttps://www.instagram.com/bipolarrabbi/https://www.linkedin.com/in/alfredo-borodowski/More from Rabbi Alfredo Borodowski:"My name is Rabbi Alfredo Borodowski, Ph.D., MSW, also known as “The Bipolar Rabbi.” In June 2013, the Mamaroneck police arrested me for impersonating a police officer. I was hospitalized and diagnosed with bipolar. In the ensuing seven days, I was fired from my position as executive director of a prestigious institute and ridiculed by the press as “the Road Rage Rabbi.” My world collapsed. I then spent several months paralyzed on a couch with depression. But I persevered and thrived once again, becoming a social worker. A factor tipped the scale in my favor; I discovered Positive Psychology. Positive psychology studies the strengths that make us fulfill our potential. Knowing my strengths allowed me to overcome my negative thoughts and move forward.My upcoming interactive book, The Exceptional Wisdom of the Most Unusual Minds, invites readers to create a community of mental illness wisdom.

Why have I been so grumpy?Why the under eye bags? What is this about imposter syndrome?I've been crying. And dealing with some health challenges. Health challenges always suck, but they are especially hard when you're supposed to be some kind of “wellness expert”. In this solo cast “short”, I'm going to be brave, and I hope that by listening/watching this episode, you too can be inspired to be a little more brave.These days I'm not just crying about my health issues. I've got some broken plates I'm dealing with (LINK TO EP 124) as well as coming to terms with my tree stump status (LINK 125). As I type these show notes, I'm sitting in the waiting room of a dermatologist. I'm here for a biopsy that will help us to investigate a tricky little blood marker for autoimmune that came up positive for me. Why is my body attacking itself? I'm not going to get all BOO HOO here. In dealing with this “bad news”, I remembered a wonderful clip from SoulPancake that featured an extraordinary young man, Zach Sobiech. I hope SoulPancake won't be mad that I took about 14 seconds of one of their clips for my podcast- hey, maybe I can help to promote it! Zach was diagnosed with a terminal illness. When he received this information, he launched into an amazing period of creativity to share lessons about life. One of my favorite songs by Zach is Clouds. I think about what Zach faced, and how he remained positive. What I'm dealing with pales in comparison. I mean, just because I've got a bunch of doctors appointments and tests, does that give me the right to become Ms. Grumpy pants?No. I will talk about serious stuff on my podcast, but I will always endeavor to Make It Fun. Here are the 3 mantras from today's “Solo Cast Short”: #1: Put yourself in each others shoes- ask the two questions I forgot to say out loud on Episode 125 (but I put them in the show notes). Here they are: Question 1: Will the boy step into the tree's shoes* (know and feel the giving of unconditional love) Question 2: Will the tree step into the boy's shoes** (know and feel the receiving of unconditional love) #2: People change, all the time. There is nothing as constant as change. When I work in my nonprofit Nurture, I tell kids during our “nutrition education classes” that they don't have to try the broccoli if they don't want to. But I remind them that their taste buds change all the time. I get a lot of success with this approach. What do you think? #3: Every sentient being that you encounter is a potential spiritual guide. All you have to do is be ready and open! I'm curious about your thoughts on my desire to go on a journey inward. Did I pick the wrong season for this journey? The song for today's episode is The Safety Dance. I've put the lyrics below with two important lines highlighted. Any other lyrics you'd like to emphasize? Sticky notes for future episodes: - We're gonna do an EP on Happiness. Stay tuned! - Glennon Doyle Melton's, “it's not a good idea to protect our kids from pain” concept. I was intrigued when I met her and saw her speak; she's on to some great ideas. In this episode, I I mention my Positive on Publishing interview with #1 NYT bestselling author and transformational leader, Marci Shimoff. She has this beautiful “recipe” for manifestation, as follows:IntentionAttentionNo tensionListen to the full interview with Marci here (LINK) (so good!).

Your teen might have the perfect life plan–become class president, get a basketball scholarship, and go to the medical school of their dreams. But no matter how put-together your teen is, they're likely to encounter plenty of obstacles on the road to success. They might not make the school basketball team at all, or maybe they'll receive a rejection letter from the college they swore they'd go toIf teens let these challenges bring them down, they might not reach the future they've envisioned. But if they're resilient enough to push past hardships, they may find that all of their dreams are entirely possible!Building resilience is no easy task, however.

Women come to a place of struggling with food and their bodies for a number of reasons.For me, and maybe you as well, it was never having developed my own self-confidence, self-validation, self-worth, and a general sense of self.The way I coped with lacking those things, aside from controlling food and my body, was to jump from relationship to relationship in order to fulfill them through other people.The need to constantly be in a relationship is a sign that you're not comfortable with yourselfYou make it mean something about you to not have another ‘half'You don't feel confident unless someone gives you a reason toYou're waiting for someone else to make the big decisions for your future so you don't have toIf you had asked me before I had this self-awareness if I held any of those beliefs I would've denied it.But subconsciously, they were the thoughts that kept me on a never-ending search for enoughness.You don't have to end a relationship in order to change these beliefs, but you will need someone who can provide a different perspective and empower you to create the results you want.I'm here when you're ready.In this week's episode of Wellness Reimagined, you'll learn:How to take baby steps to become more independentHow to be comfortable with yourself outside of relationshipHow to get clear on what you want and need to be fulfilled in your lifeMentioned on the show: Episode 20 Codependency to Autonomy: An Interview With My Ex-HusbandBook a Free Consultation for 1-1 coachingLet's Connect!: FacebookInstagram

Sean Frank was working at a local Los Angeles ad shop in his early 20's when he and his friend Connor decided to start an agency of their own. The plan was to focus on a small team and high-touch client relationships. It worked so well that one of their clients, The Ridge Wallet, ended up absorbing their talented team entirely. At the time, Ridge was making a couple million dollars a year off Shopify and had accomplished a successful Kickstarter campaign. Sales were good, but they didn't have digital expertise in-house, and didn't want to manage a team. Instead of continuing to outsource to Sean, they ultimately merged. Sean has been CEO ever since. 4:24 - Diversify your ad strategyThe Facebook golden years didn't last forever, and Ridge succeeded because they saw it coming and put resources into multiple ad channels early in the game.“Those first couple of years were the golden years, where we would just run Facebook ads driving to a Shopify page. The most complex thing was, we need better static photography. This is like 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, where if you were bad at Facebook ads, you got 10x ROAS. The thing that benefited us was we always thought it was going to get worse. I'm just a naturally paranoid person. So we were on the cutting edge of diversification away from paid media channels. So things were going great on Facebook. We were getting 10x ROAS. But it's like, we need to be on Snapchat. So we were the first Snapchat advertiser. If you read the Snapchat earnings report, when they launched ads we are named, because we were the first people doing it. We've been a TV spender for a year. So pre the iOS14 fuck-ups, we've been spending money on TV. We just always thought it was going to get harder. So one of our biggest tips was just diversify quickly.”5:49 - Prepare to pay taxesWhat makes surpassing the $10 million mark challenging for most brands is scaling quickly while also keeping up with your skyrocketing tax responsibility.“I think most businesses can get to that $10 million mark. If you're running right now and you have an ecomm product people seem to like, and you're running Facebook ads, you're doing the basic blocking and tackling, right? You're sending email campaigns. Maybe you're touching SMS right now. The $10 million mark is easy. We had the hardest time at $15-20 million, in that range, the post 10. SO we did $8 million one year, then we did $15 million. So awesome growth, near 100% growth. The next year we did $20 million. So growth slowed. That was the hardest year of the business. What happens is if you're a profitable e-comm brand, you have this problem where taxes are due every year. Specifically if you're doing accrual accounting, which you're supposed to now, I think. So you have this problem where you had a big tax bill, but you just grew really fast. So you need to buy inventory to keep up with that growth. And that's what kills those businesses. That's what really ends up fucking up growth past $10 million.”10:34 - Scoop up agency talentOne tactic to consider if you can't find talent to support your brand? Buy an agency. That's what worked for Ridge.“When we did the merger with Ridge, they were getting a full-fledged team, because we had email, search, whatever. But that was built up and subsidized by a functioning agency business at the time. So any advice for any really big brands listening right now is, if you've had a problem finding talent, just buy an agency. I think that's pretty good advice. Now, probably half the company has some sort of marketing role. We have six people, more now, probably have seven people who just do influencer marketing. So if you bought Ridge Wallets and you go on YouTube, or go on TikTok, you might see us sponsor a lot of content. We sponsor like 5,000 creators a year or something crazy. And all of that is done in-house through like seven people at The Ridge signing people all day long. Just to give you an example, we have two people who just do email, we're probably going to hire a third person who just does email. We have a designer who just designs emails. So it ends up being very, very specialized, the bigger you get.”13:09 - Keeps things personalThe bigger your brand gets, the harder it is to personalize the customer experience. But it's critical to remember that people buy from people.“Where I think big brands mess up is that people still buy things from people. So even if they're on their website or whatever, this whole idea of brand is like, does this product make me feel a certain way? And people are like the most centric part of feelings. I think one reason we've had so much success is our influencer program. And it's because people you trust are showing you this product. They say they love the product. And it mimics personal recommendations, to the highest degree. So I think it's a way we've captured a lot of success. And it's like, how do we continue to do that? How do we continue to personalize everything we're doing? And how do we act with intention so that customers understand who we are, and then they understand why they're buying from us? That's really, really hard to do at scale. I know it's a very fluffy, nuanced, almost bullshit answer, but that's what we're trying to capture this year.”17:18 - Involve execs in content creationIf you want your brand to excel on YouTube, you need to get a recognizable fact involved who you can rely on to continue to represent the brand indefinitely.“The reason why brands are gonna have a hard time with it, and the reason why Ridge has hard time with it is it's something you can't outsource. Like our influencer content is influencer shot, influencer released, distributed by them. Studio photography is done by a studio photographer, their face isn't in it. It's not personal. But when you get to YouTube, it's like, I can't hire a guy to do it. Because then people want the relationship with that person. And they like the way that he delivers his style or whatever. And he could get a different job. He could get a Netflix show, you know what I mean? So I can't outsource it. And if it's an employee, you've seen that happen to G4 back in the day. They built up these employees, the employees leave, and it's because you're a faceless corporation. So it has to be one of us, the executives to do it. And it's just finding the time to do that.”23:26 - Make better organic contentFor true success, Sean says brands need to think like content creators, and distribute organic content across multiple platforms.“You have to sort of think like a content creator. Like how do you actually deliver not only a product that's a good value, that somebody wants to buy it. But to get that in front of somebody, you have to be so content first, right. CPMs are going to be what they're going to be. I talk to people all the time. They're like, what do I do to make Facebook better? And I'm like, do you have a time machine? That's what you need right now. Do you know someone at Facebook who will commit a crime to get your CPMs lower? It's never going to get better. But you as a brand need to get better. And people hate having that conversation, right? You need to make content better. You need to make this stuff better…we need to get better at creating organic content across every single platform, but right now we're spending money on paid media across every single platform.”27:26 - Bomb-proof your business with contentThere's always going to be a “next era” of content. The key is to learn how to make the content itself, not just disrupt it.“How do you bomb-proof your business for the next change in the era? It's going to be content first...so figuring out how to make the content and not just disrupt the content is a huge piece of that…Everything's a golden secret until it stops, you know what I mean? It's like, that's what Facebook was. There's something else somebody's doing that's driving amazing results. There's always something like that, and it gets brought to the mainstream. But by the time you hear about it, it's too late. There's a golden rule. I was reading some Vice report thing, and they were talking about that it's like, by the time you see it in the news, it doesn't matter anymore. It's like everyone that knows about it has already acted on it, already knows about it. Nothing's breaking, as long as you're in the industry. So just take that with a grain of salt. So by the time you're hearing about something, it's too late to act on it. So just keep living your life.”33:10 - Keep improving your productMaking new products every year will keep customers engaged and coming back for more. Everything should feel fresh and current, from your products to your ads.“The community feedback is important. But the big thing that brands don't want to talk about, and this is like if you're an agency, they're paying you. So you don't want to rock the relationship too much. But you need to make better products probably every year, right? It's like, Apple is worth $3 trillion. Every year, there's an iPhone that comes out. And every year, they need to give you a reason to buy. What if they said, yeah, there's no updates this year. It's just the same. Maybe people would still buy it. But no, you need to deliver a reason. An improvement. That's the cost of getting better. And no one wants to hear that. They want to have a website from 2017. They want to have a product from 2016. Then want to have ads from 2018. And they still want to be successful in 2022. And if that's your playbook, it's not going to work.”35:36 - Hire before you need toIf you stumble across a top performer, get them on your payroll. It's worth feeling like you are jumping the gun than risk stifling growth later when you're short on talent.“Probably the best advice I can give if you're a $10 million brand who thinks they have a bunch of growth ahead of them is hire the best people before you think you need them. So if you find someone who's actually - everyone uses the term “A player, right. But really think about that. Is it a top 10% of all people, or is it in this specific field? Because a specific field is a lot narrower. So if you're really finding a top 10 digital marketer or a top 10 CFO, make that hire. Even if you don't think you can afford it, even though it's going to cut into whatever and you don't get to fucking buy a new car or whatever, make that investment. Because if we had more people and more guidance earlier, we would be a billion-dollar company now, you know what I mean?”36:56 - Get your accounting rock solidHiring a firm, getting audited, and paying sales tax is painful but absolutely necessary if you want to be ready for big opportunities, like incoming capital.“Figure out your accounting way before you think you need to. If you're not collecting sales tax in every single state, start doing that right now. If you ever want to exit, you will get fucked so hard if you do not. Forget about the nexus, forget about whatever you fucking hack you think you have. Just collect sales tax in every single state. Customers are going to pay it, conversion rates won't go down. You're just hurting yourself. And then figure out the rest of your accounting stuff. Get a real firm, get gap compliant, get audited. And the reason why you have to do all that type of stuff is when you actually want funding from a bank, the people who give you loans, or a VC or private equity group or a family office, it's way better to have your ducks in a row before you go to meet with them, then look like a fool and take 12 months, 18 months, 14 months, however long it takes to get your shit together. So do all that stuff when you don't think you have to. Find the time to do it.”Here's the full interview: This episode is brought to you by OrderGroove and OpenStore:Visit https://www.ordergroove.com/dtcpod/?utm_source=event&utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=2022q1_dtcpodpodcast_thirdparty_demo_us&utm_content=demo today to receive 2-months off your first contract.Visit https://open.store to get a free, no-obligation offer for your ecommerce business from OpenStore in 24 hours.

Gospel by means of HospitalityPreaching SeriesThe series “Gospel by means of Hospitality” is about the shift in our approach to sharing the gospel. This came out of our outreach of January, where we have continued training our churches in “Living the Gospel Out-Loud,” which is also called “missional living.” All the thoughts and ideas written about it, we’re trying to contextualize the gospel-living in Nepal. As pastors/teachers we want to educate, train and eventually help the church in the way of life (building culture) of living the gospel. Gospel is communicated (understood) reaches the hearts of people by way (means) of hospitality. There are lots of stories among us, as to how we came to hear/know/believe the gospel. Hospitality was Jesus’ means to living the gospel. In Luke 4, Jesus declares at outset of his public ministry, his mission as “The Spirit of the Lord is upon me to preach the good news to the poor… set the captives free, make the blind see, … to declare the year of the Lord’s favor.” When the Spirit of the Lord comes, (church finds breath and life) and becomes alive, it lives out the mission of Jesus, which is more than preaching. Here’s an excerpt from the “Living the Gospel out-loud” curriculum (please consult the handbook, which is saturated with the ideas of Gospel by means of Hospitality). In fact, you can choose one topic from the curriculum to preach on. “Living the Gospel Out-Loud” k|ToIf hLPsf] ;';dfrf/ k[i6e"ldM xfd|f] ;';dfrf/ k|yf / ljrf/ o:tf] x'g k'u]sf] 5 M “of] t kf:6/ / k|rf/sx?sf] sfd lhDdf xf] .” / “of] t sf7df8f}af6 cfPsf l6dx?n] ug{] sfo{j|md xf]” eGg] afgL a;]sf] x'bf, d08nLsf ljZjf;Lx?n] of] hLDdf glnPsf] ;fy} ug{ ghfg]sf] cj:yf lgdf{0f x'g k'u]sf] 5 . g]kfnL k|rng cg';f/, “oL t eGg] s'/fx? dfq x'g” /fhlgtLs efif0f jf “elglbpFg, s'/f 6fg'{ t xf]” h:tf Joxf]/fx? ;';dfrf/ klg aGg k'u]sf] 5 . k|rfl/Psf] ;';dfrf/ h'g rflx+ hLjgaf6 k|s6 ePsf] x'Fb}g, Tof] jf:tjLs jf k|efjsf/L x'g;Sb}g .
