In this episode, I sit down with my friend and founder of Pause Breathwork, Samantha Skelly, for a deeply honest and soulful conversation about evolution, alignment, and faith in both life and business. Samantha shares how her journey as an entrepreneur has transformed into a spiritual assignment—one rooted in artistry, service, and surrender. We talk about what it means to evolve past old versions of success, let go of what no longer feels aligned, and allow business to become a living, breathing expression of who you truly are. We also dive into the importance of slowing down, receiving support, and making peace with change. Samantha opens up about the role faith and prayer have played in her life, her return to her Christian roots, and how she's learned to invite God into her business decisions. This episode is an inspiring reminder that your evolution is sacred, your alignment is your greatest strategy, and peace comes when you finally trust that you are exactly where you're meant to be.

And so no matter if it's relationships, business, what have you, if there's something that just keeps being that spiritual sandpaper for you, you've gotta really ask yourself like, what am I tolerating here? And just simply put, raise the standard.” - Julie Solomon  “  I couldn't see a pathway of it being something else. And I think I had an ego layering on that because my ego was like, “well, surely we can't simplify because then the revenue will drop, and if the revenue drops, then we're not gonna continually grow. And what's that gonna do?” So I had to love fiercely, the part of me that was trying to take over by telling me to keep scaling and what I mean by that is like, not destroy it, not cut it off, not badmouth it, but just love the little girl inside of me that's like, “I wanna keep growing. What if I don't? Who am I gonna upset?” - Samantha Skelly  RESOURCES:

Are you building a legacy or just performing for applause? In this week's full length episode You Can't Hustle Legacy, Dr. Darnyelle calls out the costly patterns hiding behind hustle culture, and reveals what it truly means to lead with legacy in mind. If your business is thriving on the outside but draining your soul on the inside, this is your wake-up call. Learn how burnout disguises itself as achievement, why wealth without fulfillment is a dangerous trap, and how to finally shift your pattern of performance into a practice of peace. The full-length episode is a high-level conversation on soul leadership, nervous system alignment, sustainable growth, and what it means to create wealth without losing yourself in the process. If you're scaling to 7 figures or beyond, you can't afford to ignore this one. This episode will challenge your perception of success and call you into a deeper level of alignment as a Legacy Led CEO. Dr. Darnyelle explores the five hidden costs of building a business without legacy at the center: burnout, emotional bankruptcy, wealth without fulfillment, identity confusion, and legacy leakage. Through powerful reframes and soul-stirring questions, you'll be guided to reroute the pressure, protect your peace, and choose a new standard for leading and scaling in integrity with your spirit and strategy. This week's 7 Figure CEO Affirmation is I anchor my business in legacy, not lack. I do not perform for approval or chase profit to feel worthy. I build with my soul at the center. I lead with peace, not pressure. I create offers that heal, not harm. I rest without guilt. I rise without proving. I declare that my success nourishes me, sustains me, and outlives me. I release the patterns that kept me hustling and embrace the rhythm that honors my highest identity. My money aligns with my mission. My strategy flows from my spirit. My life is evidence that overflow is sacred and sustainable. This is what legacy looks like—and I choose it now. Here are three actionable tips to anchor in this week's affirmation Audit your alignment, not just your numbers. Check your calendar, your offers, and your energy. If your peace is missing, your legacy is leaking. Ask better questions to lead with clarity. Use Darnyelle's three recalibration prompts weekly: Did I lead from peace or pressure? Was that decision from alignment or ambition? Would God approve how I moved today? Decide what success feels like, not just what it earns. Rebuild your business around your definition of safety, sustainability, and spiritual integrity—not hustle metrics. Affirm with me: I anchor my business in legacy, not lack. I do not perform for approval or chase profit to feel worthy. I build with my soul at the center. I lead with peace, not pressure. I create offers that heal, not harm. I rest without guilt.

My money aligns with my mission. My strategy flows from my spirit. My life is evidence that overflow is sacred and sustainable. This is what legacy looks like—and I choose it now. And This Week's Journal Prompts Are: This week, I led from a place of… I feel most misaligned in my business when… A legacy I want to leave through my business is… And Your Prayer Of The Week: God, we thank You for the divine opportunity to build beyond ourselves. We thank You that we are not just creating revenue, we are creating ripple effects that will impact generations. Today, we release the pressure to perform and the patterns that drain us. We ask for the strength to lead with peace, the wisdom to make aligned decisions, and the courage to build businesses that honor You and honor us. Root us in clarity, keep us grounded in purpose, and remind us that legacy isn't found in the hustle but in the holy. Let every step we take this week move us closer to overflow and the impact we are anointed to make. In Your name, amen.

A.M. Edition for Oct. 7. Trump suggests he is open to talks on healthcare, signaling that there may be a way to break the impasse on the government shutdown. Negotiations over a ceasefire in Gaza continue in Egypt two years on from the deadly Hamas attacks that started the conflict. And big banks are competing for Trump's favor to be part of the Fannie and Freddie mega IPO. WSJ's Ben Dummett explains how CEOs of the country's six largest banks are navigating some novel hurdles in the process. Caitlin McCabe hosts.  Sign up for the WSJ's free What's News newsletter.

CBS EYE ON THE WORLD WITH JOHN BATCHELOR THE SHOW BEGINS IN THE DOUBTS ABOUT THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION GAZA PLAN.. 1950 RAMALLAH 10-6-25 FIRST HOUR 9-915 The Trump Peace Plan and the Problematic Role of the Palestinian Authority Guest: Peter Berkowitz Peter Berkowitz examines the Trump peace plan, which calls for an immediate ceasefire, the release of 50 remaining hostages (living and dead) within 72 hours, and the disarming of Hamas. Hamas disarmament is a crucial Israeli war aim. The central challenge is the future role of the Palestinian Authority (PA), which Berkowitz argues is corrupt, incompetent, weak, and lacks democratic legitimacy, having not held elections since 2005. International recognition of a Palestinian state is viewed as counterproductive, as it rewards proponents of armed struggle. The plan anticipates a pathway toward a Palestinian state only after substantial and comprehensive PA reform, including ceasing terror incitement and abandoning the goal of Israel's destruction. Given the security challenges and the history of Palestinian rejection of a state coexisting with Israel, the realistic possibility of a two-state solution is seen as many years in the future. 915-930 The Trump Peace Plan and the Problematic Role of the Palestinian Authority Guest: Peter Berkowitz Peter Berkowitz examines the Trump peace plan, which calls for an immediate ceasefire, the release of 50 remaining hostages (living and dead) within 72 hours, and the disarming of Hamas.

Given the security challenges and the history of Palestinian rejection of a state coexisting with Israel, the realistic possibility of a two-state solution is seen as many years in the future. 930-945 Houthi Attacks, Sanctions, and the Implications of a Gaza Ceasefire Guest: Bridget Toumey Bridget Toumey reports that the Houthis, who are well-organized and disciplined, attacked a Dutch ship in the Gulf of Aden and continued launching at least one missile and one drone at Israel, a slower pace than the nearly daily attacks seen in September. The Houthis also sanctioned 13 US oil and energy companies and their CEOs, citing the war in Gaza and US support for Israel. This announcement mirrored US sanctions and may be a precursor to resuming attacks against US-connected vessels. Israel's counter-Houthi air strikes have hit targets but have failed to deter the group, which also exploits connections with other terrorist organizations like al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP). If the Gaza conflict ends, the Houthis might need a new casus belli to justify attacks, but they are willing to invent excuses if Iran wishes to continue stirring chaos. 945-1000 Life, Economy, and Chinese Threat Perception in Taipei, Taiwan Guest: Anne Stevenson-Yang Anne Stevenson-Yang reports from Taipei, Taiwan, a vibrant economy and republic vital to the global economy due to TSMC, the microchip maker. Taiwan is characterized by a wonderful public culture where honesty and personal safety are prevalent. Despite its high-tech focus, the economy suffers from problems common elsewhere, including increasing income inequality, unaffordability, high housing prices, and stagnant wages. Regarding geopolitical tensions, the average Taiwanese person is largely immune to the constant threat from China, having heard talk of belligerence for the last 30 years. However, there is apprehension related to China's grim economic winter and growing concern that the US protective umbrella may be receding, leading to more interest in investing in Taiwan's own defense. SECOND HOUR 10-1015 Iran's Strategy, Setbacks for Hezbollah, and the Chinese Economic Lifeline Guest: Jonathan Sayah Jonathan Sayah discusses US efforts to bolster the Lebanese Armed Forces (LAF) with $230 million, intending to empower the national identity over sectarian militias like Hezbollah. Iran consistently seeks to arm its proxies, but Hezbollah is currently on its back foot, having lost leadership, money, and the Syria corridor due to Israeli attacks and the new regime in Syria. A peace deal in Gaza would significantly weaken Iran, as stability does not favor the Islamic Republic, which thrives by exploiting regional instability. The morale of the Islamic Republic has crumbled due to external defeats and internal incompetence (failing infrastructure, high inflation). Furthermore, Iran relies heavily on China to purchase oil, utilizing a money-laundering network to evade US sanctions, securing an economic lifeline for the regime in return for natural resources and infrastructure projects. 1015-1030 Iran's Strategy, Setbacks for Hezbollah, and the Chinese Economic Lifeline Guest: Jonathan Sayah Jonathan Sayah discusses US efforts to bolster the Lebanese Armed Forces (LAF) with $230 million, intending to empower the national identity over sectarian militias like Hezbollah.

Taiwanese self-identity is deepening, particularly among younger generations. However, concerns exist in Taipei that the US administration's "Fortress America" focus is inducing doubt about Washington's commitment to Taiwan's defense, a doubt China exploits. Harold also covers the historic rise of Takaichi Sanae as the LDP head in Japan, positioning her to become the first female Prime Minister. Takaichi is a conservative acolyte of former Prime Minister Abe Shinzo who emphasized increased defense spending to enhance the US-Japan alliance. Her selection was seen as an effort to bring conservative votes back to the LDP, responding to growing political frustration and capitalizing on sentiment against an influx of foreigners. 1045-1100 Taiwanese Resilience and Japan's New Conservative Leader Guest: Scott Harold Scott Harold discusses Taiwan's resilience, rooted in its democratic rule of law and high societal trust, which China attempts to undermine.

THIRD HOUR 1100-1115 Europe Responds to Russian Harassment Without US Lead Guest: Mary Kissel Mary Kissel analyzes the European emergency summit in Copenhagen, convened due to alarming mysterious drone activity over European airports, likely instigated by Russia. This harassment, which includes potential risks like hitting a passenger jet, aims to create confusion and test the resolve of the continent. The outcome, focusing on a "drone wall," suggests that the EU is starting to take more responsibility for its own defense, a long-term goal of US presidents. Kissel notes that the US absence from the prominent conversation does not signal the end of NATO. She also highlights that politicians like Starmer and Meloni are moving toward stronger defense measures, realizing that their voting bases are unhappy with current economic and security outcomes 1115-1130 Syria's Search for Stability: Security Deals, the Golan Heights, and the Gaza Impact Guests: Ahmad Sharawi, Bill Roggio Ahmad Sharawi and Bill Roggio discuss Syrian President al-Sharaa's focus on stability and his pursuit of a security agreement with Israel. Negotiating away the Golan Heights is considered a non-starter for al-Sharaa's survival, as his father, Hafez Assad, is often seen as the man who lost the territory, and al-Sharaa would be domestically labeled a traitor by all segments of the Syrian population, including hardliners. A full peace agreement is out of the question, but a limited security agreement might be possible, allowing Israel to maintain its presence in the Golan Heights while potentially withdrawing from areas entered after the fall of the Assad regime. The end of the war in Gaza is expected to expedite negotiations between Syria and Israel toward a security deal, as it affects the optics of al-Sharaa making such a move in the Arab world. Al-Sharaa's main priority is removing Israeli presence and stopping Israeli air strikes inside southern Syria 1130-1145 Russia's Multi-Front War: European Drones, Space Threats, and Tomahawk Missiles Guests: John Hardie, Bill Roggio John Hardie discusses Russia's expanding conflict, which includes drones over European airports like Munich and Berlin, viewed by Denmark as Russian "gray zone" activity aimed at testing Western response. NATO has been slow to adopt cost-effective counter-drone measures, unlike Ukraine's use of mobile fire groups. Russia is also engaging in anti-satellite activity, with Russian satellites reportedly stalking UK military satellites in low Earth orbit. Russia continues to target Ukrainian energy infrastructure with massive barrages as winter approaches. The US is reportedly considering supplying longer-range Tomahawk missiles to allies for transfer to Ukraine. These missiles could strike deep into Russian military-industrial sites, which, coupled with economic pressure, might convince Putin to pause the war. 1145-1200 Russia's Multi-Front War: European Drones, Space Threats, and Tomahawk Missiles Guests: John Hardie, Bill Roggio J FOURTH HOUR 12-1215 Gaza Ceasefire Talks: Hostages, Disarmament, and Hamas's Reach into Europe Guest: Joe Truzman Joe Truzman details the Gaza ceasefire negotiations, which center on the release of the remaining 48 hostages (living and deceased) within 72 hours, potentially in exchange for a significant number of Palestinian prisoners, including convicted terrorists. The central obstacle to peace is Hamas's refusal to disarm, viewing it as tantamount to surrendering their identity. Fighting has lessened, with Israel toning down air strikes, possibly to show goodwill to President Trump. Truzman emphasizes that if Hamas retains its arms, another conflict is inevitable. He also notes the rise in reported Hamas plots in Europe, something uncommon historically, indicating the organization may be branching out its operations and feeling emboldened, as seen in the recent deadly attack on a synagogue in Manchester. 1215-1230 Gaza Ceasefire Talks: Hostages, Disarmament, and Hamas's Reach into Europe Guest: Joe Truzman . 1230-1245 Maduro Regime Threatens US Embassy; Lula's Concern over US Pressure Guests: Alejandro Piña Esclusá, Ernesto Araújo Alejandro Piña Esclusá reports that Nicolás Maduro's chief negotiator, Jorge Rodríguez, falsely claimed a third party plans to assault the US embassy in Caracas, but Esclusá warns that Maduro himself ordered the operation. The regime is allegedly interested in the embassy because they believe opposition leader María Corina Machado is hidden there. The regime, which stole the election, is now persecuting and imprisoning more opposition members than ever to infuse terror into the population. Ernesto Araújo views an attack on the embassy—an action against the "only thing that's sacred in international relations"—as very serious, suggesting Maduro is desperate for a bargaining chip with the US. Brazil's Lula da Silva is reportedly worried about the seriousness of the US attitude toward Maduro and may be softening his stance with Trump, fearing what information might emerge regarding the Foro de São Paulo organization if the Maduro regime falls. 1245-100AM Maduro Regime Threatens US Embassy; Lula's Concern over US Pressure Guests: Alejandro Piña Esclusá, Ernesto Araújo

Houthi Attacks, Sanctions, and the Implications of a Gaza Ceasefire Guest: Bridget Toumey Bridget Toumey reports that the Houthis, who are well-organized and disciplined, attacked a Dutch ship in the Gulf of Aden and continued launching at least one missile and one drone at Israel, a slower pace than the nearly daily attacks seen in September.

Have you ever been in a meeting where someone suddenly calls your name and you freeze? Your mind goes completely blank, your body tenses, and even though you know the answer is in there somewhere, you cannot find the words. Or maybe you are in a heated conversation, someone accuses you of something unfair, and instead of speaking up you go silent. You just freeze. If this has happened to you, you are not alone. Freezing in the moment is incredibly common. From CEOs to public speakers, from parents to teenagers, many of us have experienced the silent freeze. For some, it happens only occasionally. For others, it is almost chronic, showing up whenever they feel put on the spot. In this episode of The Terri Cole Show, I am breaking down why we freeze, what it really means, and most importantly, what you can do to work with your body and mind to move through it. The good news is that there are many strategies you can practice to expand, regain your voice, and communicate more effectively. Read the show notes for today's episode at terricole.com/769

What would your life look like if you could erase the limiting beliefs that make you feel unworthy, unloved, or not enough? Josh Trent welcomes Shelly Lefkoe, Belief Eliminator Extraordinaire and Co-Founder of the Lefkoe Institute, to the Wellness + Wisdom Podcast, episode 774, to uncover how childhood beliefs shape our identity, why events are always neutral, how self-doubt is planted early in life, and the proven process for dissolving limiting beliefs so you can experience freedom, confidence, and truth beyond the mind.

What makes a great CEO today won't be enough tomorrow. In this episode of Partnering Leadership, Mahan Tavakoli speaks with Carolyn Dewar, McKinsey Senior Partner and coauthor of A CEO for All Seasons—a practical, research-backed roadmap for leaders navigating the full arc of CEO leadership. Building on her global work advising top executives and the success of her previous bestseller CEO Excellence, Carolyn offers a candid, timely, and deeply strategic perspective on how CEOs can lead—and let go—with clarity, discipline, and impact.Carolyn and Mahan explore the four leadership “seasons” every CEO moves through: preparation, early tenure, sustained performance, and exit. But what sets this conversation apart is its real-world focus on what actually trips up leaders—misjudged transitions, misplaced confidence, and the false comfort of past success. This isn't theoretical leadership advice—it's practical insight shaped by years of advising CEOs and boards during high-stakes moments.What emerges is a compelling case for fit over familiarity, foresight over reaction, and reinvention over complacency. Carolyn makes it clear that the best CEOs aren't simply great strategists—they're great at timing, sequencing, and knowing when to shift or step aside. She shares stories of leaders who planned their exits with grace and those who stayed too long—and why boards often get it wrong.If you're a CEO, board member, or senior leader shaping the next phase of your organization, this conversation will challenge how you think about leadership longevity and legacy. You'll walk away with practical framing for making bold decisions and managing change—not just within your business, but within yourself.Actionable Takeaways• Hear how to recognize the brief “unfreezing moment” that gives new CEOs a rare chance to reshape direction, expectations, and ambition • Learn why even the most successful CEOs must reinvent themselves—or risk becoming the barrier to future growth • Discover why the best succession plans start in a CEO's first year, not their last • You'll learn how boards often default to “more of the same”—and why that mindset leads to costly misalignment • Explore Carolyn's take on what only the CEO can and should do—and how over-functioning CEOs damage execution • Hear how some leaders design in tension—reverse mentors, red teams, bold advisors—to avoid echo chambers • Learn how to approach succession planning not as a person to pick, but as work to define • Find out what CEOs should leave behind in their final year—and what mistakes lock in poor transitions • You'll hear examples of how great CEOs sustain performance through S-curves while preparing for what's next • Gain perspective on how Carolyn sees AI as a CEO's partner, not a proxy for real leadershipConnect with Carolyn Dewar:A CEO for All Seasons Carolyn Dewar LinkedIn Connect with Mahan Tavakoli: Mahan Tavakoli Website Mahan Tavakoli on LinkedIn Partnering Leadership Website

Are we finally witnessing the death of the woke scolds? For years, they ruled our culture — shaming, silencing, and canceling anyone who dared to think differently. But somewhere along the way, the tide started to turn. The people they tried to bully into silence have had enough… and they're fighting back. Studio Sponsor: Cardio Miracle - "Unlock the secret to a healthier heart, increased energy levels, and transform your cardiovascular fitness like never before.": CardioMiracle.com/TBNS In this episode, we dive deep into how we got here. From woke ideology's roots in the universities to its takeover of corporate boardrooms and government offices, Brian exposes the rise of the moral hall monitors who thought they could control the country through guilt and fear. But it wasn't until 2020 — the year of contradictions — that everything unraveled. When “follow the science” became a political slogan, when riots were called “mostly peaceful,” and when hypocrisy became too blatant to ignore, millions of Americans finally saw through the façade. Now, the cultural backlash is here. From comedians reclaiming free speech to parents standing up in schools, the silent majority has become un-silent — and the woke scolds are losing their grip. The culture they thought they owned is turning on them. This isn't just about mocking the absurdity. It's about rebuilding. Because the death of the woke scolds isn't the end — it's the beginning of something better: a culture rooted in truth, courage, and moral confidence. Don't miss this one. ❤️ Order Cardio Miracle (CardioMiracle.com/TBNS) for 15% off and take a step towards better heart health and overall well-being!

Scott Keller: A CEO For All Seasons Scott Keller is a senior partner at McKinsey, where he coleads the firm's global CEO Excellence work within the Strategy & Corporate Finance Practice and serves as a global leader in the Organization Practice. He's a New York Times bestselling author and trusted advisor to boards, CEOs, and senior leadership teams, with whom he guides multiyear, enterprise-wide transformations that shape the future of institutions. His colleagues and him are the authors of the new book, A CEO For All Seasons: Mastering the Cycles of Leadership (Amazon, Bookshop)*. One of the most critical phases of taking on the top job is what you do at the start. Whether it's stepping into the role as president, general manager, executive director, owner, or CEO, starting well can make all the difference. In this conversation, Scott and I explore how to begin in the best way possible. Key Points One-third to one-half of new CEOs are considered to be failing within eighteen months of taking the role. Many wish they'd handled the transition differently. New CEOs enter a reality distortion field of many bosses (the board), no peers, and ultimate accountability for everything. The best CEOs guard against this by not making it about them. Ask questions that aren't about you, but the organization. Instead of, “How will I know if I'm successful?” ask, “How will we know if we're winning?” Beginning with a listening tour is essential. People will tell you things when you're new that they'll never say two or three years later. Create a fact-based, one version of the truth. Once you know it, keep to a single narrative for everyone. Err towards complete candor in the toughest realities. Prepare intensely for moments of truth, when they need to happen. Set clear boundaries and stay extremely disciplined. Your narrative and first moves should guide how you frame these.

In this episode of Grow Think Tank, I explore the biggest ceo mistakes frequently make that can hinder their long-term success. Drawing from my experience as a CEO coach, I highlight the importance of leadership cultivation within teams and the detrimental effects of being too central to the business's value. I discuss how founder-led companies often face lower valuations and emphasize the need for delegation and empowerment to foster team ownership. I address how the instinct to control can lead to micromanagement, ultimately alienating high performers. Finally, I stress the significance of recognizing blind spots for effective leadership. Listeners are invited to my free training session to delve deeper into these strategies for overcoming common CEO challenges and enhancing growth. Biggest CEO Mistakes Being the Most Important Person Outworking the Problem Holding onto Control Being the Most Important Person In this episode of Grow Think Tank, I delve into the critical mistakes CEOs often make that can undermine long-term success. One of the first and most common is believing you must be the most important person in the business. If everything revolves around you, your company is likely less valuable than it could be. Research shows that founder-led businesses often receive a 30% lower valuation compared to those that run independently of their founders. Why? Businesses that rely too heavily on a single leader don't scale well and aren't attractive to investors or buyers. As a CEO coach, I help leaders step out of the spotlight and develop leadership within their teams. Creating value means building a company that thrives without you at the center, where leadership is distributed and the organization is resilient beyond one individual. Outworking the Problem In the early stages of a company, CEOs often get by through sheer effort. You face a problem, and you work harder. But as the business grows, this “outworking the problem” mindset becomes a liability. It's a mistake to think hustle alone will solve scaling challenges. Eventually, this leads to burnout, bottlenecks, and a team that doesn't grow because you're still doing all the heavy lifting. Instead, the focus must shift toward delegation and empowerment. Leadership is not about doing more; it's about enabling others to take ownership. This transition is where many founders struggle, but it's also where true growth begins. Holding onto Control Finally, we address a trap that many founders fall into: holding onto control for too long. In the early days, this level of control can help maintain quality and speed. But as your business scales, that same control can strangle progress. Micromanaging alienates high performers and slows innovation. I've seen it time and time again: capable leaders leave because they aren't trusted, and the company plateaus. Growth requires trust and trust means letting go. Transitioning from founder to CEO demands a shift in mindset. You have to evolve from being the person doing everything to the person who builds the team that does everything. That shift is hard but absolutely necessary. Final Thought If you're serious about becoming the kind of leader your growing company needs, it starts with identifying these blind spots. Throughout this episode, I share insights, experiences, and strategies to help you make the shift from founder to CEO. Join me in a free training session where we go deeper into each of these mistakes and how to overcome them so you can lead with intention and scale your business the right way.  

Adam works with a client to help them deal with intrusive thoughts and overthinking. Adam uses various metaphors from ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy) to frame the thoughts and something detached that they can observe rather than be affected by.

Adam creates a hypnosis session for a client with double vision to help relax and strengthen the muscles around the eye. This uses a metaphor of a Swiss watch with intricate parts, where if one part isn't working properly, the time isn't accurate and nanobots to help them feel that the body can heal around the eye.

In this special episode, Gresham Harkless Jr. frames the show as a resource for anyone building a business, emphasizing the value of sharing real‑time experiences and encouraging listeners to subscribe for more content. He then recounts his personal experience with layoffs, beginning with his first layoff in his early twenties, describes the fear, disappointment, and feeling of being misled that came with a reduction in force, noting how the instability of early jobs forced him to confront the reality that no one—​not even CEOs—​is immune to job loss. This turning point sparked a mindset shift: rather than waiting for another opportunity, he decided to “burn the boats” and pursue entrepreneurship, recognizing that the stakes would feel far higher later in life when family responsibilities increase. Seeing franchising as a hybrid path that blends entrepreneurial ownership with a proven business model, Gresham explains why he gravitated toward this avenue. He is compiling resources, such as a “layoff survival list,” to help others facing similar setbacks and hopes to connect with listeners who might become franchise candidates.  Blue Star Franchise: http://bluestarfranchise.com Browse the Franchise Inventory: https://bluestarfranchise.com/franchise Is franchising right for you?

Pakistan is once again underwater.In the country's north—specifically the province of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa—torrential monsoon rains dropped 150 millimeters in under an hour. That's six inches of rain, fast enough to overwhelm any drainage system. But here, it didn't just flood streets—it destroyed entire communities. At least 700 people are dead. Over 100 are missing. And in Bishnoi village, 50% of all homes are gone—flattened or washed away.This isn't just bad weather. It's a lethal convergence of natural vulnerability and systemic fragility: hilly terrain, deforestation, poor infrastructure, and collapsing governance capacity.

Ever wondered what an auctioneering school could teach you about leadership communication? In this conversation with Dia Bondi, communications catalyst and author of "Ask Like an Auctioneer," Cam and Otis explore the fascinating connection between the rapid-fire world of auctions and the strategic art of asking for what you want."You're basically learning to sell something in a minute and a half," Dia explains about her auctioneering training, revealing how this condensed transaction moment contains powerful lessons for business leaders. From the illusion of fast-talking (it's actually about breath manipulation) to the courage required to "show up big in big moments," Dia breaks down what makes truly clutch communicators effective.What makes this episode especially compelling is Dia's formula for making strategic asks. She outlines a four-part approach that moves beyond simply stating what you want to creating a compelling case that removes blockers and drives results. As she puts it, the best communicators "know who to ask, when to ask it, and what to ask for. And they're not low-balling themselves ever."Whether you're looking to improve your leadership communication, make more effective requests, or simply understand the psychology behind powerful asking, this conversation offers practical wisdom that might just have you stepping into your own "zone of freaking out" (ZOFO) – where the real growth happens.Dia's exclusive link for 10x Your Team listeners:  https://www.diabondi.com/coMore About Dia:Dia Bondi is an expert in Leadership Communications, with two decades of experience coaching top CEOs, VC-backed founders, and innovators to speak powerfully and amplify their impact.

That voice belonged to davidji.Today, davidji is not only a bestselling author as well as a teacher to Navy SEALs and CEOs, he's a great friend of mine.

Adam works with a client to help them learn from previous social regrets where, with hindsight, they didn't do it as they wanted to. Adam helps them take the director's chair to replay and refine the moment until they feel it was as they wanted it to be, and then feel empowered to apply those lessons in future social situations.

Adam creates a hypnosis session to help a client drink moderately on an upcoming holiday to Italy. Adam helps them think of 1 or 2 small glasses with a meal as their ideal amount, with an option, but without any obligation. This is all about choice, so that they don't feel limited, but empowered to drink a little if they choose to, and not if they don't.

What if everything you thought you knew about cancer treatment was only half the story? In this episode of The Wellness Fix, part of The Brian Nichols Show, we uncover a jaw-dropping first-hand account that challenges the very core of “accepted” medical practice. Imagine being told at 24 years old to get your affairs in order — and then walking away, not only alive but thriving fifty years later. That's the reality of today's guest, Rick Hill. Studio Sponsor: Cardio Miracle - "Unlock the secret to a healthier heart, increased energy levels, and transform your cardiovascular fitness like never before.": CardioMiracle.com/TBNS Rick takes us back to 1974 when the Mayo Clinic delivered a terminal cancer diagnosis and offered only chemotherapy and radiation as options. Facing death, Rick received an unexpected letter that urged him to look beyond the standard treatments. What followed was a radical journey that led him across the border into Mexico — and into a new world of nutrition, natural therapies, and faith-driven resilience. This episode dives deep into Rick's recovery and the controversial role of natural compounds like B17, enzymes, and oxygen therapies. His story highlights the power of alternative approaches, not as quick fixes, but as long-term strategies rooted in God-given natural resources. Along the way, Rick exposes how big medicine often suppresses inexpensive, effective solutions to protect its bottom line. But this isn't just a story of survival. It's about trust, skepticism, and the importance of asking questions when the “experts” say there are no answers left. Brian presses Rick with the kind of skeptical questions you're probably thinking yourself: Why isn't this replicated everywhere? What about the risks? Why the pushback from doctors and regulators? The result is an honest conversation that doesn't shy away from the tension between hope and evidence. By the end, you'll be left with more than just inspiration. You'll gain practical resources, like access to Rick's book and the free download of World Without Cancer. Most importantly, you'll walk away with the reminder that hope is real, choices exist, and sometimes the greatest breakthroughs come when you're willing to think for yourself. Don't miss this powerful episode — your perspective on health may never be the same again. ❤️ Order Cardio Miracle (CardioMiracle.com/TBNS) for 15% off and take a step towards better heart health and overall well-being!

Ashley Lewin has audited 30+ companies in her career and seen the same pattern: marketing teams stuck chasing MQLs while revenue stalls.

Story of the Week (DR):War against women continues: Uber Not Responsible for Sex Assault, Jury Finds, as More Cases FollowEthan P. Schulman, the judge presiding over the California state court cases, told jurors that Uber would be responsible for the woman's harm if the company was negligent in using adequate safety measures and the negligence was a “substantial factor” in causing the harm.In its decision, the jury unanimously agreed that Uber had been negligent in its general safety practices when the incident occurred in 2016 — but that the negligence was not a substantial factor in causing the attack.

What were the military standards in 1990? And if they have changed, tell me why. Was it necessary change based on the evolving landscape of combat? Or was the change due to a softening, weakening, or gender-based pursuit of other priorities? 1990s seems to be as good a place to start as any."PGA of America CEO apologizes for Ryder Cup missteps, but group's president denies problemThe Misogynistic Abuse Towards Rory McIlroy's Wife at the Ryder Cup Is Deeper Than Golf. It shows a cultural shift, one in which men feel emboldened to attack women in public without shame or consequence. The abuse and taunts were so unrelenting that Stoll was spotted with “tears streaming down her face”PGA of America President Don Rea took a different approach on Sunday in a BBC interview where he downplayed the severity of the crowd's behavior: “Well, you have 50,000 people there that are really excited, and heck, you can go to a youth soccer game and get some people who say the wrong things,” Rea said. When asked about the abuse directed at McIlroy, he responded, “I haven't heard some of that. I'm sure it's happened … Rory understands things like that are going to happen.”Fake billionaire manbaby “retirements” continue DRSpotify CEO Daniel Ek to Step Down.

Years ago, while I was on a job site, someone asked me, “What exactly do you get paid to do?” My answer was simple: “I get paid to think.” To this day, I still stand by that statement. CEOs, especially those of us in the creative space, need time and space to think. It's in that intentional time of reflection and vision-casting that we're able to chart the path forward and guide our businesses to where we want them to go. In today's episode, I'm diving into what it really means to think like a CEO. I'll share some of the mindset shifts and practical tactics I use to sort through the hundreds of ideas, questions, and challenges that pop into my head every single day. From creating margin for deep thought, to making decisions with clarity, to balancing creativity with strategy, this is the work of a true CEO. Important Links: Sign up for my live event!
