Pick up my new book The American Nightmare! => Click Here! In Today's Episode Welcome to Friday's episode of my podcast! We are wrapping up our massive, week-long focus on guarding the gate. Today, I am challenging you to stop being a leaf in the wind and become a rock in the mud. I am laying down my ultimate 7-day Gatekeeper Challenge to help you lock in your boundaries, and I'm sharing some personal reflections on how mastering my own "no" completely cured my anxiety. Plus, you'll hear a funny guest appearance from my son, who gets a firsthand lesson in the power of a hard "no" when he tries to hit me up for more Legos! Key Topics Discussed: The Master Recap: I bring together everything we've built this week—from the danger of being an undefended man to the difference between being nice versus discerning. Remember: discernment is your filter, your boundaries are your walls, and your "no" is your ultimate protection. The Lego Interruption: A hilarious, real-time parenting moment where my son cracks up in the studio and tries to negotiate for a new Lego set. I have to practice what I preach right then and there: "No, you don't get a Lego. You bought a Lego last night!". My Journey from "Leaf in the Wind" to "Rock in the Mud": I get deeply personal about how I used to sway back and forth, trying to please everyone, which left me filled with extreme anxiety. Today, I am completely happy, balanced, and hard to move. I share my process of checking my emotions to ensure my boundaries come from uncompromised principles, not my ego, bitterness, jealousy, or anger. My 7-Day Gatekeeper Challenge: I am issuing a direct challenge for the next seven days to build your armor: Final Takeaway:A boundary you won't defend was never a boundary—it was just a wish. Your discernment is your wisdom, and a "no" you stand on is a gift to yourself and your family. Stop letting every open gate invite an invasion into your life.

Should physicians take partnership track jobs, and how do these opportunities actually work? In this episode of The White Coat Investor Podcast, we break down how physician partnership track jobs are structured, what doctors should evaluate before accepting one, and whether the long-term upside is worth the tradeoffs early in your career. We also answer questions about tax preparation versus tax strategy, teaching kids about investing, hiring locums instead of employees, how new doctors should prioritize money decisions, and what to do after receiving a large financial windfall. Understanding compensation structure and long-term career opportunities can have a major impact on building wealth as a physician. Today's episode is brought to us by SoFi, the folks who help you get your money right. Paying off student debt quickly and getting your finances back on track isn't easy, but that's where SoFi can help — they have exclusive, low rates designed to help medical residents refinance student loans—and that could end up saving you thousands of dollars, helping you get out of student debt sooner. SoFi also offers the ability to lower your payments to just $100 a month* while you're still in residency. And if you're already out of residency, SoFi's got you covered there too.

Pick up my new book The American Nightmare! => Click Here! In Today's Episode We are moving directly into daily execution as we continue our week-long theme of guarding the gate. We've already broken down the philosophy of the undefended man, nice versus discerning, and my Gatekeeper's Code but today, I am giving you the exact steps to put this into practice today. I am sharing my personal non-negotiables, challenging you to stop giving weak "yeses" that are actually dishonest, and laying out the daily audit you need to run to protect your ecosystem. Key Topics Discussed: My Personal Non-Negotiables: You must write down the three lines you will absolutely not cross. I lay mine out for you: in business, it is integrity, honesty, uncompromised principles, and belief in God; for my family, it is peace, freedom, and family structure. If anyone crosses these lines, they are immediately out of my ecosystem. The Power of the "Hard No": Stop saying "let me get back to you" when you already know the answer is no. I challenge the fear of saying "no" and explain why constantly saying "yes" to things you don't actually want to do is a form of dishonesty. Pause Before You Commit: If you are unsure, "let me get back to you" is a highly effective tool that beats a weak, forced "yes" every single time. But you must be honest with your intentions. Audit Your Inputs: Your gates are only as strong as what you allow through them. Today, I want you to look at who is speaking into your life and cut out one voice that is actively pulling you off course. My Evening Reflection Practice: How to end your day with absolute accountability by asking yourself one simple question before you close your eyes: "Did I guard the gate today, or did I leave it open?". Final Takeaway: Weak gates make weak men, and what you choose to allow into your life is ultimately what you will become. Protect your kingdom, stand firm on your boundaries, and get ready for tomorrow's episode where we wrap up this entire week and get ready to kick some serious ass. Warriors Rise!

Are you a senior corporate executive or high-performing leader sitting on immense professional capital, yet wondering how to safely translate your day-to-day corporate discipline into personal cash-flowing assets? In this dynamic guest conversation, host Billy Keels sits down with Will Holdren—the founder of Aureate Properties LLC, host of the Will Power Podcast, and an elite professional operating within a high-net-worth family office. Will pulls back the curtain on his rapid career trajectory, sharing how he launched a podcast as a junior in high school to interview over 250 successful individuals, ultimately bypassing standard resume templates to secure a highly sophisticated corporate role. Discover how Will structures his 168 hours to cleanly isolate his 9-to-5 client execution from his 5-to-9 real estate projects, how he navigates multi-entity liability structures to decrease tax exposure, and why practicing the power of saying "no" to superficial distractions is the ultimate baseline for long-term career optionality.

runDisney didn't start as a massive, must-register-in-minutes phenomenon. It grew into that, and Jon Hughes was in the middle of the turning points. We finish our conversation with the Track Shack leader who helped bring the Walt Disney World Marathon to life, then watched it evolve into a global runDisney culture where first-timers, costumers, walkers, and marathoners all belong on the same course.Jon shares when the races first felt “bigger than expected,” why the paper signup era created real confusion about sellouts, and how new weekends and concepts like Wine and Dine's early night-race vibe reshaped logistics. We also get the origin story of the Goofy and Dopey challenges, including the moment the Dopey name clicked and why well-trained multi-race runners can actually fare better than people who show up underprepared for a single event. Along the way we talk characters, entertainment placement, and the simple reason so many people start running at Disney: they feel safe and welcomed.Back with the hosts, we bring it to the present with summer training honesty: slowing down in heat and humidity, staying consistent through wind and bad air quality, and holding onto the mindset that your current pace might be someone else's dream. Plus, Julia joins us for the race report spotlight to celebrate her 50th half marathon at Presque Isle and a strong finish as she lines up an ambitious season ahead.If you enjoy the show, subscribe, share it with a running friend, and leave us a review so more runners can find the Rise and Run community.Send us Fan MailSupport the showRise and Run Podcast is supported by our audience.

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!This week Pip is joined by longtime podcast and life friends CHRIS & STU & KUNT for a roundtable episode!Quick catch-up if you're new to the show (trigger warning for repeated "kunt" usage): Chris & Stu host the Hardcore Listing podcast, Stu does Off The Beat & Track and a ton of others, and Kunt is the frontman of the band Kunt & The Gang. Stu and Kunt also do the Acceptable In The 80's podcast. Pip, Chris & Stu form together to do the 'DrunkCast' episodes of Distraction Pieces, where they drink and generate like 5+ whole hour long episodes. So there we go!Now we're all on the same page, here is the hypersquad teamup (minus booze) to chat about the hardest kids in school. Whether you remember them from back in the days (whatever era), or you're familiar with them right now if you're in school at the moment, this roundtable chat will ring bells with you for sure. For those who've led a charmed tough-kid-free life and are over 40, think Gripper Stebson from Grange Hill. There are definitely worse than that but we're using shorthand here! Names have been shortened or indeed redacted, but the memories are mostly clear and chances are that you'll start to recall the kids from your school as the episode unfurls. Or maybe you were the hard kid yourself. Which leads us to the existential side-quest - does a hard kid know they're a hard kid? One to consider. Enjoy! PS: the catchup at the start is mainly due to those unfamiliar with the entire cast here - cos you'll be hearing the word Kunt over about 80-90 minutes more than you might have before. As alwyas with these ones, go steady if you're playing it out loud in a situation with younger fam-folk!

Dystany Spurlock has been fast her whole life—and is now a She Pivots-sponsored NASCAR driver!

From a Barbie Corvette and go-karts at five, to fighting her way onto the boys' football team in middle school, to setting a motorcycle world record in a sport built for anyone but her, Dystany is a powerhouse. Getting to NASCAR meant driving trucks, working flight attendant shifts, and living in her mom's RV while she waited for the call that would change everything. On this episode of She Pivots, Dystany talks about that winding road to becoming the first Black woman to race in NASCAR, the family that held her together through the hardest parts, and why she refuses to leave her signature face sparkles at the door. We also discuss what it means when little girls stop her in the grocery store to say they want to drive too and the details behind the She Pivots purple car she's racing in this week at Indianapolis.

Pick up my new book The American Nightmare! => Click Here! In Today's Episode We are continuing our week-long theme of "guarding the gate," and today I am getting tactical by giving you the exact four steps of "The Gatekeeper's Code". We also have an update on yesterday's hilarious bug invasion, and I have a special guest hanging out in the studio with me today—my son!. I am sharing a raw parenting moment about why I forced him to hit the gym with me before we could go to Home Depot to buy parts for his dirt bike. It is all about doing the work first, holding your boundaries, and realizing that a boundary only truly counts when it costs you something. Key Topics Discussed: The Prehistoric Bug Update: We survived!. It turns out those giant bugs that had my son running for his life yesterday weren't locusts or bees, but massive, prehistoric-looking dragonflies. The Gatekeeper's Code: I break down my four-step framework for protecting your ecosystem: The Katana Blade Decision: I open up about a brutal, "katana blade" decision my CFO and I had to make back in 2022. Setting that boundary felt incredibly ugly and guilt-inducing at the time, but standing our ground was the best business move we ever made. Work Before Play (The Dirt Bike Lesson): My son chimes in while patiently waiting for breakfast and playtime. I share a story from yesterday when he wanted to rush straight to Home Depot for a staple gun to build a custom seat for his dirt bike. I explain why I made him hit the gym for max bench presses, deadlifts, and cardio first. The work and discipline must always come before the reward, otherwise, you end up lazy and completely unguarded. Final Takeaway: To beat the man of tomorrow, you have to be disciplined and consistent today. Stop leaving your gates open, put in the work first, and get ready for tomorrow's episode where we will transition right into daily execution. Listen Now!

A profitable med spa can still be hard to scale, and even harder to sell. When the owner is responsible for every major decision, key patient relationships, team oversight, and day-to-day problem solving, the business carries more risk than the financials may initially show. In this episode, I sit down with Annie Robertson Hockey, president of Skytale Group, to talk about what makes a medical aesthetics or wellness practice more valuable over time. We cover owner dependence, scalable systems, clean financial reporting, revenue concentration, team incentives, and the operational work that gives practice owners more options as they grow. A Valuable Practice Can't Depend on One Person Many practice owners become the center of the business without realizing how difficult that makes the next stage of growth. They approve the decisions, solve the team problems, manage important relationships, and step in whenever something breaks. That may work for a period of time, but eventually the owner becomes the bottleneck. Start paying attention to where the practice still relies heavily on you. Which decisions come back to your desk? Which patients only want to see you? What happens when you take a week off? Those questions matter whether you are thinking about a future exit, adding locations, or simply trying to create more space in your own role. From a buyer's perspective, owner dependence is risk. From an operator's perspective, it also limits how much the practice can handle without adding more stress at the top. Build Systems Before Growth Exposes the Gaps A process that works for one location or a small team may fall apart at twice the volume. Practice owners need to look ahead and ask whether the current operation could support two, five, or even 10 times the activity without creating chaos. That means taking a closer look at the parts of the business that affect consistency, risk, and repeatability: Reduce dependence on a single provider, location, treatment, or revenue stream Document the operational systems that drive consistent patient experiences Track where new patients come from instead of relying on assumptions about marketing performance Build HR and sales processes that can function without constant owner involvement Review key performance indicators over time instead of reacting to isolated monthly results Automate repetitive processes when technology can improve consistency and reduce administrative burden Assign clear ownership to major functions across the team Pick an area that is creating friction, give it focused attention, and improve the process before moving on to the next one. A quarter spent strengthening one important function can be far more productive than trying to fix 10 things at the same time. (00:07:54) Framework for expansion and exit (00:10:25) Building enterprise value (00:16:48) Thinking in scalable systems (00:20:37) Managing revenue concentration risk (00:24:44) Defining clean financial data and metrics (00:37:20) Tying incentives to controllable actions (00:42:51) Managing HR and sales processes Your Financial Reports Should Help You Explain the Business Clean financials are not just about accurate bookkeeping. You should be able to look at your reports, identify the major trends, and explain what is driving the numbers. A buyer will want to understand whether growth came from a stronger marketing cohort, a new provider, one unusually productive location, a change in treatment mix, or something else entirely. You should want that same clarity as the owner. Without it, you are making decisions based on a snapshot instead of understanding how the business is actually changing. This is where trend analysis and a focused set of key performance indicators become useful. Track the metrics that help you make decisions, review them consistently, and stop collecting data simply because you can. More reporting does not automatically create better management. The Team Has to Be Able to Carry More of the Business Scaling exposes team issues that are easier to work around when the practice is smaller. Hiring, training, performance management, HR processes, and incentive plans all need more structure once the owner can no longer oversee every interaction. Pay particular attention to incentives. Employees should be rewarded for outcomes they can actually influence, with clear expectations and measurable responsibilities behind the plan. As the practice matures, capable leaders, documented processes, reliable financials, and a team that can operate without constant owner involvement make the business easier to expand, easier for a buyer to evaluate, and less dependent on you.

Pick up my new book The American Nightmare! => Click Here! In Today's Episode Welcome to Tuesday's episode of my podcast! We are continuing this week's theme of guarding the gate and the power of discernment. Today, I am breaking down the massive difference between being "nice" and being discerning, and why you actually need to start making things awkward to protect your family's peace. I am getting real about my own past of people-pleasing, plus we have a hilarious mid-podcast interruption when my son literally runs for his life from a massive locust invasion in our yard! Key Topics Discussed: Manifesting Reality: I start with a reminder that what you believe in your heart and think in your mind will eventually become your physical reality. What you repeatedly do becomes an unconscious activity ingrained in your subconscious mind. Nice vs. Discerning: The world tells you to say "yes" to keep the peace and to tolerate absolutely anything just to be liked. I explain why a man without boundaries isn't generous—he is totally unguarded. Remember: discernment decides what gets in, but boundaries decide what stays out. Make It Awkward: I open up about my own past of saying yes to everything because I didn't want to hurt feelings. But here is the truth: my family's peace, freedom, and structure are the most important things to me outside of God. If someone tries to disrupt that, hell yeah, I am going to make it awkward! Leadership & Ecosystems: If you tolerate everything just to be liked in your business, you will completely destroy your ecosystem. Your team will stop trusting your judgment, they will lose respect for you, and your ship will eventually sink. The Locust Invasion: A hilarious, real-time moment where I have to pause my train of thought because my son comes sprinting inside. What we thought was a bee turned out to be massive locusts, proving we literally needed to go outside and set some boundaries with the bugs! The Week Ahead: Instead of just talking philosophy, tomorrow we are getting tactical. I will be breaking down "The Gatekeeper's Code," and on Thursday, I'll give you the daily actions you can use to protect your ecosystem. Final Takeaway: Approval fades, but boundaries protect. Stop being a people-pleaser and start treating your "no" like a gift. You have to stand up and defend your family's peace. Listen Now!

Delta launched a basic first class following United, stripping out seat selection, upgrades, and same day changes while almost certainly charging you the same, and we explain why it is just a way to make you pay more for what you already got. The good news is United is putting a blocked empty middle seat with its own tray on its A321XLRs, a European style setup that saves them a flight attendant and that we would happily book over regular first, and Emirates is rolling out a folding UDream headrest that could finally make sleeping in economy possible. We also cover the partnership madlibs of the week, Hilton with Explora cruises, Japan Airlines with Marriott Bonvoy, and Air Canada Aeroplan with World of Hyatt, and what each is actually worth. We close with a genuinely useful one, Wyndham doubling its Caesars transfer limit to 60,000 points through September 11th, which is a great way to rescue points before Wyndham's brutal four year expiration hits. Let us know in the comments if a better headrest would get you to fly economy.

Once, Ashley Baily was a pastry chef. Now she's the 26-year-old, Daytona-winning tire chief for an IMSA Corvette team. Landing that leap took guts, passion, and five years of working two demanding jobs at once.(Plus cake. There was a silly amount of cake.)Want a job in pro racing? If you're ready to knuckle down and work like hell, it's closer than you think. This episode is the latest installment in our HOW I GOT HERE series—a dive into just what it takes to land a career in professional motorsport. We asked Ashley for her story. (We also asked about cake. Because cake.)Fun fact: INTC co-host Jeff Braun is the competition director for Ashley's IMSA team, 13 Autosport.

Some kids learn early on that the way to be loved is to be useful. They take on the emotional or practical care of their parents in a process known as parentification, and today Dr. Rick and Forrest explore the costs of being a “gifted child.” They discuss the “bargain” these kids make: suppressing their authentic self in order to fulfill a role and earn love. Over time, this bargain can harden into a false self that makes it difficult for the person to connect with their true wants and needs. They then walk through four tracks that allow us to reclaim authenticity: becoming visible to yourself, building a coherent narrative, reconnecting with what you gave up, and renegotiating relationships. Topics include the paired extremes of grandiosity and depression, why so many capable adults go blank when asked what they actually want, and why understanding a pattern isn't the same as changing it. This episode is heavily influenced by psychologist Alice Miller's classic book The Drama of the Gifted Child. Key Topics: 0:00: Intro: what is parentification? 9:18: Examining your own childhood 13:18: Grandiosity and Depression 18:37: Peer-entification, self-narratives, and adult relationships 23:29: Emotional insight and grief 27:09: Tracks to healing 35:10: Track 1: Becoming more visible to yourself 39:26: Track 2: Building a coherent narrative 45:21: Track 3: Reparenting 50:49: Track 4: Building a new bargain 1:05:26: Recap Support the Podcast: We're on Patreon!

Life in the Peloton is proudly brought to you by MAAP What a week of racing at the Tour de France! It's safe to say that with Jonas Vingegaard's unfortunate abandonment, the race for the podium has been blown wide open! I gave EF Education EasyPost DS, Tom Southam, a call to go over everything we've seen in the second week of the Tour and preview what's coming up. Kicking off with a recap of everything that's gone down both in and around the race last week, and it started with a dominant victory from Pogačar in Le Lioran. Some amazing instincts from Søren Wærenskjold saw him win the bunch sprint on stage 11 to continue Uno-X Mobility's success, before Tim Merlier reminded everyone that he's the fastest sprinter in the race with his third stage win of the Tour the next day. Stage 13 saw Mauro Schmid power his way into the mega break and grab a stage win for Jayco, so who better to chat to than his team mate, and regular “guest” on the Pod, Durbo. It was great to hear from Luke as he enjoys a well-earned rest day, and he gave us a great scoop on the team's tactics and how their game plan played out pretty much perfectly. The two mountain stages on the weekend weren't the only drama - a 2 am dope test for Jonas and Pogi had the media buzzing, so I had to ask Southam what he knows and what he's heard from the ground. Is it a bit of a flex from WADA, or is there something going on?! With Jonas' abandonment, and a mountain TT coming up, can Remco Evenepoel bag another stage win and close the gap to Pogi? Will Del Toro finish on the final podium? What about the green jersey battle between Pedersen and Philipsen? There's still so much to come, and I can't bloody wait to see how it plays out. Guys, it's a rest day, so pull another shot of espresso, sit back, and join me and Southam - dialling in live from EF's rest day Chateau - for some Tour de France chat.

Pick up my new book The American Nightmare! => Click Here! In Today's Episode Welcome to Monday's episode of my podcast! We are kicking off a brand new week, which means a brand new theme: guarding the gate. Today, I am breaking down the true cost of being an undefended man, and why having no boundaries doesn't make you generous. It makes you completely unguarded. I'm getting vulnerable about my own past mistakes where I used to say yes to absolutely everything and sharing the hard truths I've learned from coaching over 15,800 people. It is time to lock down your ecosystem and stop letting the enemy walk right through your front door. Key Topics Discussed: Manifesting Reality: I want to remind you that what you believe in your heart and think in your mind will eventually become your words and your physical reality. What you repeatedly do becomes an unconscious activity ingrained in your subconscious mind. The Cost of the Undefended Man: Every single "yes" you didn't mean, every line you let slide, and every voice you let in becomes the exact crack the devil uses to walk right into your life. Discernment vs. Boundaries: I explain the critical difference between the two: discernment decides what is allowed to get in, and boundaries decide what stays out. Protecting Your Family & Ecosystem: I share real-life examples of how to hold your walls. Whether it's shutting down men who disrespect women in your presence, blocking out the haters who say 85% of small businesses fail, or refusing to let anyone project that your son will be a "lady killer" instead of an honorable man—you have to protect your ecosystem. The Week Ahead: I break down our podcast schedule for this week. Monday and Tuesday are philosophical and strategic, Wednesday and Thursday are tactical, and Friday is pure motivation. I'll be back tomorrow to discuss the massive difference between being "nice" versus being discerning. Final Takeaway: You have to stand up for your ecosystem and say no when things don't align with your ethics and morals. Stop leaving the door open for dark forces to enter your life.

“Send us a Hey Now!”The Belgian Grand Prix at Spa-Francorchamps is always one race on the calendar we look forward to rolling around. From practice to Sunday's Grand Prix, we break down everything that happened at one of the most iconic circuits in motorsport. This week, we review the entire Belgian GP weekend, discussing the standout drives, biggest surprises, key strategy calls, and the moments that could have a huge impact on the championship. We also check in on Rob vs Brian to see whose podium predictions came out on top, revisit the latest casino game standings, hear Pitlane Paul's expert take on the biggest stories from Spa, and round up all the latest Fantasy F1 action. Before we wrap up, we look ahead to another classic circuit as we preview next week's Hungarian Grand Prix, discussing who could carry their Spa momentum into Budapest and what storylines we'll be watching. In this episode:
If You're a FAN leave me a message :-) But more importantly, let us know what you think, suggestions, topics, constructive criticism... ALL WELCOME!!You say you want a breakthrough, but how long do you stay once the work becomes repetitive, ordinary and emotionally unrewarding?In this episode of The 15 Minute Monday, I examine why so many people remain trapped in a cycle of enthusiastic beginnings and quiet withdrawals. Discover the five-step Repetition Protocol, learn how to create a “boredom floor,” delay premature evaluation, recognise invisible progress and keep moving after motivation disappears.Key Takeaways Breakthroughs usually emerge from accumulated effort rather than one dramatic event. Choose a repeatable behaviour beneath every outcome you want. Create a minimum version of the routine for difficult or low-energy days. Decide when you will evaluate the method before impatience begins negotiating. Track leading indicators and invisible progress, not only final outcomes. Missing once is human; missing twice risks becoming a new pattern. Self-confidence grows from evidence that you can rely on yourself.Plus, a special thank you to Doc Marty Mushrooms for supporting 15 Minute Mondays.

“I have set before you today life and good, death and evil. If you obey the commandments of the Lord… then you shall live… But if your heart turns away, and you will not hear… you shall surely perish… Therefore choose life, that you may live” (Dt 30:15-19). Obey the Lord and live; disobey and perish. Those were Moses's final words of welcome and warning to the Israelites to conclude the book of Deuteronomy (which we just finished together last month!). In this sermon, King David takes up this same theme in Psalm 37, reminding us that “evildoers shall be cut off, but those who wait for the Lord shall inherit the land” (v9). Join us for this sermon for encouragement in your daily walk with the Lord!

Most gym teams role play just enough to feel busy, not better. This conversation lays out a simple way to turn Monday sales meetings into real practice that fixes weak spots and builds confident closers.Episode SummaryGym Marketing Made Simple is built for owners who want sales to feel repeatable, not random. This episode walks through how to stop “sink or swim” sales training and replace it with a clear, documented process plus weekly role play that actually resembles real consults.Jeff Burlingame breaks down how to structure a Monday sales meeting, what numbers to review, and how to turn that data into focused reps on the hardest parts of your no-sweat intros and trials. You'll hear how to use a three-person role play setup—with a designated disruptor—to sharpen objection handling, transitions, and closes. If the goal is better close rates without relying on a unicorn salesperson, this is the kind of simple, repeatable system Gym Marketing Made Simple is about.Key TakeawaysYou'll learn how to:Treat sales as a trainable skill instead of waiting for “natural” closers.Get your sales process out of your head and into a documented, shareable outline.Run a non-negotiable Monday sales meeting focused on selling, not random updates.Track leads, booked, showed, and closed so you know exactly where you're leaking revenue.Choose one specific weak link (rapport, goals, urgency, objections, close) per session.Use a three-person setup—client, salesperson, disruptor—for cleaner feedback and better reps.Call “timeouts” in the middle of a script, then instantly reset so responses become reflexive.Make role play tough with real objections, but not impossible or silly.Use role play as resistance training for sales, the same way you'd train a heavy lift.Take ownership as the gym owner to lead sales practice instead of blaming the team.Episode Chapters00:00 Why goofy role play kills real improvement00:23 Gym Marketing Made Simple and Lasso intro00:51 Jeff sets the focus on sales and role play01:40 Why sales is a learned skill, not talent02:15 Documenting the full sales process step by step03:30 Monday sales meetings and who must be there04:34 Reading the numbers: leads, booked, showed, closed05:20 Turning data into a weekly action plan06:10 Narrowing role play to one specific skill each week08:17 Setting up three-person role play and the disruptor09:40 How and when to call timeouts mid-conversation12:07 Making objections realistic but winnable13:10 Sales practice as reps, not one-off live attempts14:21 Final push to own and run your sales trainingMemorable Quotes“Nobody is a born salesperson. Everybody acquires that skill set through practice and experience.” [00:00:51]“It can't live rent free in your brain. It has to be in everybody's brain, and the only way to do that is to document it.” [approx. 00:02:00]“The hands-down best way to conduct role play is with three people… client, salesperson, and then the overseer.” [00:08:17]“You're an interrupter, a disruptor. Time out, say this instead, time in.” [approx. 00:08:17–00:11:00]“If you want your team to get better, you have to make the time for them to get better, and you have to put them through the ringer.” [approx. 00:13:40–00:14:10]About the PodcastGym Marketing Made Simple cuts through the noise around gym growth. Each episode focuses on practical marketing, sales, and leadership systems designed for boutique fitness gyms. The goal: clear messaging, better leads, and cleaner sales processes so owners can grow without guessing, chasing, or burning out their teams.Listen & Subscribe
dattrax: Welcome my Fellow Brothers and Sisters to where house music resides. How is life treating you? Are you pursuing your dreams and goals??!! Hi-Five to you!!!____________________Thought that I'd share my super nerdy process for prepping tracks for a DJ gig or a new house mix. ____________________After I first buy and download a new batch of house music tracks from Traxsource or Bandcamp.I usuallv listen to them separatelv for a week or two. Try to get to know and understand them. As I listen to them over and over again, I imagine different combinations with my older house tracks that I have.Incorporating them into my collection.____________________If I'm making a new mix, then I'll start organizing them and adding a bunch of tracks that I'd want to mix with the new ones. If I'm prepping for an upcoming DJ gig, then I'll take the most danceable tracks and put them into one large folder. ____________________Usuallv takes me 4 to 8 hrs to choose and organize for each gig or new mIx. It's a therapeutic ritual and a lot of fun.It sounds boring, but it's not because I'm imagining the different directions that I can take the night or a mix. How do I judge how many total house tracks do I need for my gig? If my set is 3hrs, then 1 know that the avg speed for me is changing a track every three minutes.Other DJs like to play their tracks for 6-7mins each. Everyone has different preferences. So I know that I' probably end up playing 60 tracks give or take, within three hours. Then there's the issue of choice.Not too much or I won't have an overall feel or direction.That's why you see young laptop DJs bring a few thousand tracks and then are all over the place. Then I decide what I feel ike sharing. Track names will pop into my mind. So I go through the folder and move the tracks that I really love into a 'Priority' folder Then I go into a dozen rabbit holes. First, I collect evervthing into one folder. Then I make a priority folder and try to eliminate a lotThen I'll put them into folders according to energy levels.Mellow Vocal. Mellow Bit Harder Vocal Medium Mellow Vocal Medium Dubby Medium InstrumentalMedium level energy have the most ofIfI know thati won't be going harder, then nothing more to organize.Med Bit Harder HypeTwo more everv levels.Depending on the night or mix.Too little choice and I'm going to annoyed instead of having fun.So I give myself 5 to 8 choices per 60 tracks.So let's say the total is 350.You know how many tracks and how many energy levels you want to take them on.Choosing the very first track for your set. That's extremely important. Setting the mood and the expectation.Then just mix, sing and dance!!! Sharing your vision of house with your dancing friends.Interact with the dancers and try to surprise them with your combination choices.For house music. It's al about the combinations.____________________All the best to you and your loved ones.From your friendly neighbourhood Chinaman who LOVES house and LUVS you.May God Bless You and All Who You Love Abundantly

Every heart is thirsty for something. We chase satisfaction through success, comfort, approval, pleasure, and control, only to find that none of them can satisfy the soul's deepest thirst. Psalm 63 was written in the wilderness, yet David's greatest longing was not for water, safety, or escape. His soul thirsted for God. Join us for Track 2 of Summer Psalms Mixtape Vol. 5, where we will discover that the life we seek is not found in getting more from God, but in wanting more of God.
Summer has taken over the boroughs as we have fully embraced the sun, perhaps a bit too much at times. Full of adventure, and never a dull moment, it seems there's a story at every turn.

This week's podcast focused on one of the most common frustrations for beginner guitarists: slow chord changes. We explored why chord transitions often plateau your progress and, most importantly, offered practical strategies to fix the problem. Key Topics & TakeawaysWhy Chord Changes Can Plateau Your ProgressSlow chord changes can halt your learning momentum. This episode explores why this happens and reassures listeners that it rarely comes down to lack of talent—often, it's about how you practice.Upcoming Live Workshop AnnouncementA live “Faster Chord Changes” workshop is scheduled for June 26th at 9 PM GMT, offering live demonstrations, Q&A, and actionable exercises for improving chord transitions.Practice Studio UpdateIntroduction to Practice Studio, a new tool to track practice habits, song progress, and playing milestones, streamlining learning and identifying weak spots.The Central Concept: Efficient Movement Over SpeedOne concept discussed was that chord change speed is primarily about minimizing unnecessary finger movement. Practice efficiency and accuracy lead to increased speed as a natural byproduct.Five Most Common Mistakes Slowing Down Chord ChangesPracticing Too FastTrying to play at the speed of the original song leads to repeated mistakes. Prioritize accuracy; slow, deliberate practice will reach your goals faster.Lifting Fingers Too Far from the FretboardExcessive finger height wastes movement and makes changes less efficient. Reduce the distance your fingers travel for smoother, faster chord transitions.Ignoring Anchor Fingers or Common TonesMany chord changes share “anchor” fingers that don't need to move, or can simply slide to their new spot. Identify and utilize these pivots. Examples include moving between E minor, A minor, and C with minimal finger lifting.Practicing Songs Instead of Isolating Problem ChordsWorking through whole songs can be inefficient if the struggle is with a specific transition. Isolate and target your trouble spots directly.Ignoring Sound QualityFast changes that result in muted or buzzing strings are unhelpful. Always focus on getting a clean, clear chord sound before increasing your speed.The Shape, Sound, and Speed SystemA key theme that emerged was the “Shape, Sound, Speed” method for building reliable chord changes:Shape: Build the chord accurately, focusing on correct finger placement.Sound: Check each string individually for buzzes or mutes, adjusting until each note is clean.Speed: Gradually add movement, using a metronome and increasing tempo only after consistent accuracy.Practical routine:Minutes 1–2: Build the chord shapes with no rush.Minutes 3–4: Check and adjust for clean sound.Minute 5: Practice the transition with a metronome, focusing on fluid movement, not haste.Weekly ChallengePick your most difficult chord change and dedicate just five minutes a day using the “Shape, Sound, Speed” method. Track and share your progress through the community or podcast feedback channels.Episode RecapSeveral points were raised, including a summary of the five core mistakes and the step-by-step improvement method. Efficiency, isolated practice, attention to sound, and a mindful approach were highlighted as the best ways to make reliable progress.Resources & AnnouncementsFaster Chord Changes Workshop: June 26th, free for members or just $1 for a 2-week trial; more info through the Beginner Guitar Academy community.Practice Studio Walkthrough Video: Coming early next week for all members.Contact & Feedback: Share your experiences or seek help via the bgapodcast.com website or community channels.Remember: Faster chord changes come from moving smarter, not faster. Keep practicing, focus on efficient movement, and celebrate your progress!
Pick up my new book The American Nightmare! => Click Here! In Today's Episode We are wrapping up this week's theme of getting your shit together through the absolute power of discipline. I am reviewing our core concepts of comfort versus discipline, reminding you that strong men do not wait to get it together—we build the wall before the war even starts. Plus, I am issuing a massive 7-day "Win the Week" challenge to help you lock in your daily execution so you can become a man the enemy simply cannot break. Key Topics Discussed: Manifesting Reality & Unconscious Habits: I want to remind you that what you believe in your heart and think in your mind will eventually become your words and your physical reality. What you repeatedly do becomes ingrained in your subconscious as an unconscious activity, which is why every wasted morning and every excuse you make will show up as a fatal weakness when the enemy attacks. Comfort vs. Discipline: The world wants you to chase comfort, numb your stress, and spend money just to feel better. But you have to understand that comfort fades, while discipline compounds. Discipline in your body, spirit, and money are all one fight. My War-Ready Framework & Daily Execution: I am recapping the ultimate survival ecosystem: getting right spiritually, getting strong physically, getting free financially, and guarding all three. I break down how to execute this daily by hitting your knees to pray for wisdom, moving and sweating every single day, tracking every dollar, and cutting out the numbing habits that dull the fighter inside of you. My 7-Day "Win the Week" Challenge: I am challenging you for the next seven days to execute on all cylinders. Read Proverbs every day, train your body, track your spending, cut one habit that makes you weak, and write down your victories in a journal. Every single night, you need to reflect and ask yourself: "Am I harder to defeat than yesterday?". Final Takeaway: A man who masters himself is impossible to conquer. Your discipline becomes your armor, your strength becomes your shield, and your financial freedom becomes your weapon. Protect your ecosystem at all costs, have a phenomenal weekend, and as always, Warriors—let's get your sh*t together! Listen Now!

➢ Apply for coaching www.colossusfitness.comGrim but motivating stat: Without intervention, we lose ~3–8% muscle per decade after 30, and VO₂ max drops ~10% per decade. This accelerates frailty, falls, and loss of independence.Most people never sprint again after 308 Tips To Supercharge Your Body For Longevity:1- Maximize Your VO₂ Max (The #1 Predictor)Why it matters: One of the strongest independent predictors of all-cause mortality — often stronger than smoking, diabetes, or high blood pressure.How to train it: 80/20 rule — majority Zone 2 (conversational pace, you can speak in full sentences but it's effortful) + 1 hard session/week (intervals: e.g., 4×4 min hard or Norwegian 4×4 protocol).Practical: 3–5 sessions/week total. Brisk walking/rucking counts. Even older adults can improve 15–30% in months.First step: Test it (lab, or good wearable estimate) and add one Zone 2 session this week.2- Lift Weights — Hit the 90–120 Minute Sweet Spot2026 BJSM study (147k+ people, 30-year follow-up): 90–119 min/week of strength training linked to 13% lower all-cause mortality, 19% lower CVD mortality, 27% lower neurological disease mortality. More than ~120 min didn't add extra mortality benefit in the data. Additive to aerobic work.Protocol: 3–4 sessions/week, focus on compound movements + progressive overload. Full body or upper/lower split. Include carries and grip work.First step: Block 90–120 min total this week across 2–3 sessions.3- Build Stability & Balance (The Hidden Foundation)Attia's #1 pillar. Prevents injuries and falls (huge longevity lever).Practical: 10–15 min most days — single-leg work, bird dogs, dead bugs, balance board or single-leg Romanian deadlifts. Progress difficulty.First step: Add a 10-min stability finisher after 2–3 workouts this week.4- Diversify Your Movement (The 19% Mortality Hack)2026 Harvard study (BMJ Medicine): Highest exercise variety group had 19% lower all-cause mortality vs lowest variety — independent of total volume. Walking, weights, jogging, tennis/squash, cycling, stairs, etc. all counted.Practical: Don't just lift + run. Add rucking, swimming, pickleball/tennis, hiking, dance, or even gardening as “exercise.”First step: Add one completely different modality this week.5- Train for the centurion decathalonAttia concept: Identify 10–12 real-world activities you want to do at 80–100 (get off floor without hands, carry two bags of groceries up stairs, hike with pack, play with grandkids on the floor, etc.) and reverse-engineer training now.Practical: Farmer carries, floor get-ups (Turkish get-up variations), stair climbs with load, grip work, single-leg strength.First step: Write your personal “Centenarian Decathlon” list this week.6- Eat Enough Protein to Preserve MuscleAttia recommendation: 1.6–2.2 g/kg body weight per day (roughly 0.8–1 g per lb) — much higher than the old RDA. Critical because of anabolic resistance as we age. Pairs perfectly with resistance training.Practical: ~30–50 g high-quality protein per meal (leucine threshold ~2.5–3 g). Spread across 3–4 meals. Meat, eggs, dairy, whey, or high-quality plant combinations.First step: Audit one day of eating and add protein where you're low.7- Treat Sleep as Your Most Important Training SessionSleep is when you actually adapt and recover. Poor sleep destroys muscle gains, VO₂ max improvements, and accelerates biological aging.Practical: 7–9 hours consistent schedule. Dark, cool room. Wind-down routine. Track it.First step: Pick a non-negotiable bedtime and protect the hour before it.8- Track, Test & Iterate (Data Over Feelings)DexaThanks for listening!

Episode 663 Schedule a one on one free coaching call, click here or visit LoanOfficerStrategyCall.com. Welcome to Loan Officer Freedom, the #1 podcast in the country for loan officers, hosted by Carl White. In this episode, Carl White sits down with Kevin Gillespie to discuss why many mortgage companies and branch managers hit growth plateaus and what leaders should focus on before assuming they simply need more leads or more loan officers. Kevin shares a practical framework for identifying the real bottlenecks that hold businesses back and explains why better tracking often reveals opportunities that are hiding in plain sight. Carl and Kevin break down four critical areas every leader should monitor: understanding the true numbers behind the business, measuring how well systems are converting opportunities into funded loans, using scorecards to evaluate team performance objectively, and focusing more time and resources on the activities that generate the highest returns. They also explain why removing distractions and improving existing processes often creates faster growth than constantly adding new initiatives. Whether you're a branch manager, mortgage company owner, team leader, or producing loan officer looking to build a stronger business, this episode offers practical leadership lessons that can help you make better decisions, improve profitability, and create sustainable growth. Carl and Kevin also share why surrounding yourself with experienced leaders and learning from those who have navigated multiple market cycles can dramatically accelerate your own success.
