In this solo episode, Travis digs into old notes from his phone to unpack why humans are wired for fear—evolutionary survival that now fuels anxiety and stalled dreams. He shares his "rocking chair test" for big risks (like a six-figure filming project with legends) and how fearing regret beats fearing failure every time. On this episode we talk about: Human evolution: 99% of our 100,000-year history as hunter-gatherers made fear our survival edge—now it creates worry over non-threats like embarrassment or loss. Reptilian brain vs. subconscious supercomputer: You can't override it, but awareness lets you redirect fear (e.g., fear of mediocrity > fear of failing once). Jocko Willink wisdom: "Every failure that does not lead to death is psychological"—nothing to lose by swinging again. Travis's risk framework: Worst-case (lose money)? Renewable. Best-case? Dream life. Time isn't—don't wait for the "perfect" moment. Rocking chair test: At 98, will you regret not acting more than failing? Past risks always led to growth, win or lose. Top 3 Takeaways 1. Fear is inevitable—choose the right one: Fear living subpar > fear one failure; money renews, time doesn't. 2. Worst-case scenarios rarely kill you; engage fear directly to shrink it, then act—upside crushes downside. 3. Build proof through risks: One success unlocks confidence; even "failures" spark hyper-growth and problem-solving. Notable Quotes "Worry is simply faith that something bad is going to happen... Hope is faith that something good is going to happen." "Everybody gives in to fear. Whether it's the fear of failing at making your dreams come true or the fear of never making your dreams come true, the one you give into will determine how you live your life." "I fear that state of regret so much more than I fear risking embarrassment now." Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Welcome to another episode of LIFTS, where we explore the future of fitness, wellness and human performance. In this episode, hosts Matthew Januszek and Mohammed Iqbal are joined by Anthony Geisler, CEO of Sequel Brands and one of the most influential entrepreneurs in the fitness industry. From helping pioneer the boutique fitness movement to building and scaling some of the industry's most recognised brands, Anthony has spent more than two decades shaping the way people experience fitness. But as the industry continues to evolve, where does the next wave of opportunity lie? Anthony reflects on the rise of boutique fitness, the lessons he's learned from franchising and entrepreneurship, and why longevity, recovery and preventative healthcare are set to become the next major growth areas for fitness businesses. Together, they explore what makes a fitness concept scalable, why boutique fitness is far from finished, how operators should think about differentiation in an increasingly competitive market, and what the future holds for entrepreneurs looking to build the next generation of fitness brands. In this episode, we cover: How boutique fitness transformed the global fitness industry The lessons behind building and scaling successful fitness brands Why boutique fitness continues to evolve The difference between boutique studios and big-box gyms The "McDonald's" principle behind successful franchising What makes a fitness concept truly scalable Why longevity and preventative healthcare are the next major opportunity What's next for Anthony Geisler and Sequel Brands
Did you know that no matter what you do, you're always choosing between two types of discomfort? In this episode, recorded straight from my car before work, I'm sharing the idea that went viral on LinkedIn — and the client story behind it that led to a $150K job offer during the pandemic. If you've ever felt secretly relieved when an interview got cancelled, or found yourself going back to school instead of figuring out why the interviews aren't working, this episode is going to hit closer to home than you'd expect. Tune in to find out which type of discomfort you're currently choosing — and what it's costing you.

Part 4 of 5, this one focused on as-applied versus facial challenge of the penal code in California. The Ninth Circuit defends open carry in California, Part 4 of 5 (Part 4 was 17 April 2026, Part 2 was 19 Feb 2026 and Part 1 was 15 Jan 2026) of our study of open carry in America's Constitutional tradition by spending more time today with Baird v. Bonta (2 Jan 2026, 9th Circuit) from the top of page 37 (Roman Numeral II) through to the top of page 49 at VII. The pro-Second-Amendment opinions, both of them that we take a look at, were written by Republican appointees (Trump, with a Republican US Senate). We will pick up at page 49 and Roman Numeral VII. https://cdn.ca9.uscourts.gov/datastore/opinions/2026/01/02/24-565.pdf Here's a link to the article I wrote 9 April 2020 for San Diego County Gun Owners, published on Gun Owner's Radio, that I entitled : "Two Types of Self-Defense" here. https://gunownersradio.com/two-types-of-self-defense/ This episode and this series is dedicated to the memory of my closest first cousin, Little Dan Mountain Jr, closest in age by just a couple of weeks, who died earlier this year in January. I picked a topic that would bring a smile to his face and that would honor the bright spots in our childhood together in Colorado. The Republican Professor is a pro-Second-Amendment-in-California podcast. The Republican Professor is produced and hosted by Dr. Lucas J. Mather, Ph.D.

Two Types of Elders The Honor Given The Reason for It
What actually separates a great early-stage bet from an obvious one? This week on The Data Minute, Peter sits down with Lan Xuezhao, Founder and Managing Partner of Basis Set Ventures, fresh off closing the firm's $250 million Fund IV.Lan built Basis Set in 2017 as one of the first venture funds structured specifically around AI, years before AI became the entire market's obsession. Her portfolio includes an early bet on Scale AI before the fund technically existed, along with Quince, Path Robotics, Workstream, Ergeon, Cusp, and Drata. She and Peter dig into why she deliberately looks for founders who don't come from the obvious pedigree or the most hyped category, how she reads "speed of learning" in a founder across a single meeting or a string of them, and why she thinks a chart everyone loves (fastest company ever to $100 million in revenue) is one of the most misleading in venture right now.The conversation also covers her thesis behind backing Quince as a supply chain company rather than a consumer brand, why robotics went from a graveyard of failed bets to the hottest category in the market, how AI is compressing deal diligence from weeks to days, and her framework for thinking about secondaries with LPs who have stuck with her since fund one. It closes with a personal story: raising her first fund five months pregnant, and the LPs who told her flatly she was crazy to try.Subscribe to Carta's weekly Data Minute newsletter: https://carta.com/subscribe/data-newsletter-sign-up/Explore interactive startup and VC data, with Carta's Data Desk: https://carta.com/data-desk/Chapters:00:00 – Intro: Reading the Bifurcated Seed Chart01:20 – Why Unknown Founders Command Premium Valuations03:38 – Higher Valuation, Lower Multiple: The Math of Being Late04:18 – Two Types of Companies Basis Set Backs05:33 – Defining "Good": Avoiding the Most Obvious Space07:14 – Is Revenue-Per-Employee a Real Signal or Just Vanity?08:55 – Defining "Speed of Learning"11:55 – Do the Most Expert Founders Struggle to Update Their Views?13:14 – The Interview Trick: Pick Any Topic, Go Deep16:31 – The Revenue Chart Everyone Loves (and Why It Lies)18:48 – Margin, Retention, and What Actually Matters at Seed21:19 – Why Series A to B Is the Most Confusing Stage22:35 – Using AI to Compress Diligence From Weeks to Days24:16 – The Quince Thesis: Supply Chain, Not Consumer Brand27:06 – Robotics: From Graveyard to Hottest Category27:54 – Model Commoditization: Real Risk or Lazy Narrative?30:07 – The San Francisco Premium: Moving Here Doubles the Price33:27 – Does Sky-High Ambition Help Companies or Kill Them?36:17 – LP Sentiment: Recycling Capital, and Why the Type of LP Matters40:28 – A Framework for Secondaries: Baskets, Founders, and the Data Point That Worries Her44:13 – Are There Too Many VCs?45:51 – Fund Four: When a Firm Stops Feeling Like a Collection of Funds47:26 – LPs Aren't Backing the Outcome, They're Backing the Process48:34 – Raising Fund One Five Months Pregnant, and Being Called Crazy49:14 – OutroThis presentation contains general information only and eShares, Inc. dba Carta, Inc.

"Fake it till you make it" has always bothered me — not because the sentiment behind it is wrong, but because the framing removes power from the person saying it. It positions your current knowledge as a performance you're hoping no one notices, rather than a genuine stage of expertise that has real value for the people who are one step behind where you are now.This episode started as a memory — something my guest Denise Duffield-Thomas said in our season four conversation that I kept coming back to while thinking about content creation, expert positioning, and the particular exhaustion that comes from feeling like you always need to know more before you publish. I'm playing a short clip from that interview, and then unpacking what it means for how you think about your podcast catalog, your current level of knowledge, and the question of what actually makes a podcast episode worth publishing.Something I come back to often in my work with podcasters is the gap between what they know and what they believe they're allowed to say. The knowledge is there — compounding with every episode published, every client conversation, every industry shift they've tracked and responded to. What holds them back isn't expertise, but the story they're telling themselves about whether that expertise is enough yet.Resources mentioned in this episode:For the full list of links, resources, and show notes, please visit:https://www.thepodcastspace.com/podcast/s5-119-your-content-from-three-years-ago-is-someones-perfect-starting-point-dont-touch-it

If you've ever thought, ‘I want feedback, but I'm terrified of the internet,' stay tuned—I'll show you how to get useful criticism without letting trolls live rent-free in your head.Two Types of FeedbackI'm sharing how I handle trolls, reviews, and feedback—and how you can turn all of that into fuel to grow your show instead of reasons to quit. I'll walk you through when to ignore, when to engage, and how to build a trusted focus group that helps you make your podcast better without letting anonymous strangers live rent‑free in your head.Trolls, Critics and Focus GroupsI break down the difference between true trolls, genuine critics, and helpful focus groups—and how each one fits (or doesn't) into your growth as a podcaster. I share real stories about nitpicky typo trolls, cyberbullying from years ago, people who send you two and a half pages of “do a different show,” and how other podcasters are using their audience—and even Snapchat—to get honest, constructive criticism.By the end, you'll see why I say feedback is the “breakfast of champions,” and why your fear of judgment shouldn't keep your show stuck on your hard drive.What You'll LearnTrolls vs. Focus GroupsHow I define a troll: unsolicited, emotionally charged feedback that's mostly about getting a reaction.How I define a focus group: people who actually want to help shape and improve your show.Why some “trolls” are really just frustrated fans who want attention.Classic Troll Bait TopicsThe three topics that almost guarantee you'll attract trolls:PoliticsNews / current eventsReligionWhy I'm okay with pushback when I brush up against these—and why you should expect it if your show leans into them.My Rules for Dealing with TrollsRule #1: Don't feed the trolls.I talk about why I always try to wait before responding.How I “kill them with kindness” when I choose to reply.Why I often simply say, “Thanks for the feedback,” and move on.How I remind myself that sometimes people are just having a bad day, and I happened to be standing in front of them.Turning Feedback into a Tool for GrowthThe key question I always ask: “Do they have a point?”An example: being told, “You interrupt your guests too much,” and how I go back, listen, and honestly assess if they're right.How I respond when someone clearly just wants me to do a completely different show than the one I want to make.How I Engage Without Losing My CoolWhy I sometimes ask, “How could I have done this better?” to separate useful advice from empty criticism.How I ask for evidence or sources in a non-defensive way:“I'm interested in digging into this—can you share a link?”When I'll share my sources and politely stand my ground.When I decide it's time to block, report, and move on, especially on platforms like YouTube.Knowing My Audience (and My Why)How knowing who my show is for makes it easier to ignore the wrong people.Why I consider the nastiest haters as “not my target audience.”The math I look at: out of hundreds of reviews, only a tiny percentage are negative—but they love to hog my attention if I let them.Stories and Examples I ShareMark Maron on Trolls as “Frustrated Love”A clip from Mark Maron talking about trolls who keep coming back.How he describes repeat trolls as people who are weirdly in love with you and just want you to get mad so they feel seen.The Typo TrollThe listener who went absolutely ballistic over typos and sent me 5–6 paragraph rants.How I handled it when the comments got personal.How I eventually “trolled the troll” with humor and kindness and watched him disappear (and reappear…and disappear again).Madame Strangeways & Fear of FeedbackA conversation with Madame Strangeways who was reluctant to ask for feedback because of a cyberbullying incident 20 years ago.How I encourage her (and you) to start with trusted fans and patrons as a safe focus group.My “too much salt in the bread” analogy: people who love what you're making will still tell you if something's off, because they have to consume it.Jr. Sparrow & Building a Focus GroupHow Jr. Sparrow used Snapchat's Snap Map to find brutally honest listeners.How he turned “this show is crap” comments into a small group that now:Helps him curate which episodes to release.Shapes themes and content months in advance.Why he says you need “skin like Shrek” (thick skin, many layers) if you want to attach dollar signs to your show.Using Feedback Before You PublishHow experienced podcasters (including me) use feedback on topics, guests, and angles before episodes ever hit the feed.Why I'd rather kill an episode early than spend years promoting something that doesn't resonate with my audience.SnapChat's Snap Map FeatureSnapchat's Snap Mapshttps://youtu.be/l4R-wu42gZk?si=BVhAiDeB_Tq6anoOGetting Data From Snap Maphttps://youtu.be/qGxblSXvEbU?si=KoeDP8aI32uKvKjSMy Key Takeaways for YouYou are already being judged—at Home Depot, in the grocery line, everywhere—so a few online comments shouldn't paralyze you.A tiny slice of reviews will be negative; they don't outweigh the huge percentage of people who get value from your show.Feedback is how you get better. You can't fix what you don't know is broken.Learn to separate:Trolls – don't feed them, or reply calmly and briefly.Constructive critics – look for the truth in what they're saying.True fans / focus groups – invite them in and let them help you refine the show.If someone hates your show and clearly isn't who you're trying to reach, there's a simple name for them: not your audience.Mentioned in This EpisodeSchool of Podcasting – Where I help you plan, launch, and grow your podcast, including listener parties to get safe, constructive feedback.Ask the Podcast Coach – My live call-in/chat show for free podcast consulting.Podpage – Website platform for podcasters (I'm the Head of Podcasting there).Madame Strangeways – True strange stories at madamestrangeways.com.Jr. Sparrow – WVU Uncommon Place – Society and culture in West Virginia.Call to ActionTell me what you think:Let me know one thing you love and one thing you'd change about this show at schoolofpodcasting.com/contact or schoolofpodcasting.com/voicemail.Need help with your podcast?If you want a safe place to get honest feedback and improve your show, join me at SchoolOfPodcasting.com and use the coupon code LISTENER for a discount.

What if your metabolism isn't actually broken...your routine is?In this episode of the Over 40 Alpha Podcast, Funk Roberts shares the exact 28-Day July Metabolic Reset he personally follows every year after vacation and at the beginning of July to rebuild consistency, burn stubborn belly fat, increase energy, and finish the summer stronger than ever.Instead of crash diets, detoxes, endless cardio, or extreme fasting, Funk explains why the key to long-term fat loss after 40, 50 and 60 is restoring the habits that support a healthy metabolism.You'll learn how a simple system built around his Fasting Over 40 protocol of intermittent fasting, metabolic resistance training, balanced nutrition, walking, mobility, recovery, and sleep helps men over 40 naturally lose fat, preserve muscle, improve energy, and stay consistent—even during the busiest months of the year.Whether you've fallen off track after vacation, enjoyed the Canada Day or July 4th weekend, or simply want to tighten up your routine, this episode will give you a proven blueprint to reset your health without punishment or restriction.Listen to This Episode on Your Favourite Podcast Platform:Listen on Over 40 Alpha Podcast WebsiteSpotify: iTunes: YouTube Over 40 Alpha Podcast: Episode Timeline00:00 – Welcome & Why I Do a July Metabolic Reset Every Year02:15 – The Two Types of Men During Summer04:40 – Why You Don't Need a Detox or Extreme Diet07:06 – Why Most Men Wait Until September (And Why That's a Mistake)11:53 – What a Metabolic Reset Really Is14:20 – Your Metabolism Isn't Broken—Your Routine Changed18:55 – The Habits That Actually Support Your Metabolism23:46 – The Four Signals That Reset Your Body26:12 – Why Spartacus Workouts Are the Perfect Summer Training System28:39 – Why I Use 16:8 Intermittent Fasting37:43 – Why Fasting Works for Busy Men Over 4046:49 – How Fasting Creates Consistency Instead of Restriction49:34 – The Complete July Metabolic Reset Blueprint51:49 – Why Metabolic Resistance Training Burns More Fat56:42 – How Sleep, Recovery & Stress Impact Fat Loss59:03 – The Complete Metabolic Reset Program Explained1:01:30 – Why I Don't Listen to Fitness Influencers1:03:58 – Why Consistency Beats Perfection Every Time1:05:15 – Final Thoughts & Join the 28-Day Metabolic ResetIn This Episode You'll LearnWhy most men over 40 lose momentum during the summerThe biggest myth about having a "slow metabolism"Why your routine—not your age—is usually the real problemWhat a true metabolic reset actually is (and isn't)How the 28-Day July Metabolic Reset worksWhy 16:8 intermittent fasting simplifies fat loss after 40How Spartacus-style metabolic resistance training accelerates resultsThe role of protein, carbohydrates, healthy fats, hydration, and whole foodsWhy walking, mobility, sleep, and stress management are essential for long-term successHow consistency—not perfection—creates lasting transformationKey Takeaways✔ Your metabolism is rarely broken—your routine has simply been interrupted.✔ Crash diets, detoxes, and extreme fasting don't build lifelong habits.✔ Muscle is one of your greatest metabolic assets after 40.✔ Intermittent fasting works best as a tool for creating structure and consistency.✔ Small daily habits repeated over time always outperform short-term intensity.✔ The goal isn't to survive the summer—it's to finish stronger than you started.Resources MentionedFasting Over 40 - Metabolic Reset Programhttps://over40shred.com/metabolicresetLearn the complete 28-Day Metabolic Reset system featuring:Fasting Over 40 Nutrition ProtocolFollow-Along Spartacus WorkoutsAlpha ROM Mobility SessionsRecovery StrategiesSupplement ProtocolLifetime AccessSupplements MentionedAlpha Lean ProteinAlpha ShredsOmega-3Vitamin D3Magnesium GlycinateGut RestoreAvailable at:https://www.over40supplements.comConnect with Funk Roberts

Episode Description:Prediction markets allow people to trade contracts tied to real-world events—from elections and weather to rocket launches, airport traffic, awards, and the words a public figure might use during a speech.But James argues that having an opinion isn't enough. Betting on your favorite team, preferred candidate, or a vague feeling about what might happen is speculation without an edge. His rule is simple: only participate when you believe you have an unfair advantage.In this solo episode, James explains the two advantages he looks for. The first comes from understanding how prediction-market participants behave—especially their tendency to overlook outcomes that appear almost certain because the potential payout looks small. The second comes from researching a particular market more thoroughly than the other participants.He walks through three trades he made: whether the U.S. government will confirm the existence of extraterrestrial life before 2027, whether SpaceX will exceed a specified number of June launches, and whether Donald Trump will use the phrase “movie star” during an upcoming speech. He also examines TSA passenger data to show why good research sometimes leads to the most important decision of all: not making the trade.The larger lesson is not that any outcome is guaranteed. It is that a repeatable process—researching the data, comparing your estimated probability with the market price, diversifying, and walking away when the edge is unclear—is more useful than betting on instinct.Editorial Note:Prediction-market contracts are speculative and can result in the loss of the full amount committed to a position. Short-term returns expressed on an annualized basis are hypothetical comparisons, not guarantees that the same opportunity can be repeated throughout a year. This episode is educational and reflects James's personal reasoning, not individualized financial advice.What You'll Learn:How binary prediction-market contracts are priced and settled.Why James avoids trades based only on personal preference or intuition.The two types of informational advantage he looks for before entering a market.Why apparently likely outcomes can still be priced below James's estimate of their probability.How to compare a contract's price with your independent estimate of the outcome.Why diversification matters when a single losing contract can erase several smaller gains.How historical speeches, launch schedules, and public datasets can inform a trade.Why declining to place a bet is often the correct conclusion when the evidence is inconclusive.Timestamped Chapters:[02:00] The Search for an Unfair AdvantageWhy James believes a feeling or personal preference is not a sufficient reason to place a bet.[02:43] What Is a Prediction Market?How event contracts cover subjects ranging from weather and elections to entertainment, sports, and public speeches.[03:29] How Yes-or-No Contracts WorkA hypothetical presidential contract illustrates pricing, payouts, and profit.[04:26] Don't Bet on What You Want to HappenWhy fandom, political preference, and intuition can distort judgment.[05:12] Two Types of Informational AdvantageJames distinguishes between understanding market behavior and possessing unusually strong research about one event.[06:30] Why Traders May Overlook Near-CertaintiesHow small-looking payouts and the cost of tying up capital can leave heavily favored outcomes below full value.[07:52] Will the Government Confirm That Aliens Exist?James explains why he bought “No” contracts on an official confirmation occurring before 2027.[10:40] Diversifying a Basket of High-Probability TradesWhy James prefers multiple positions rather than concentrating everything in one supposedly certain outcome.[11:20] The SpaceX Launch TradeUsing completed launches, the remaining calendar, and an upcoming mission to evaluate a five-day contract.[13:38] Turning Presidential Speeches Into DataHow James analyzes recurring words and phrases instead of relying on opinions about Donald Trump.[15:38] Betting Against “Movie Star”Why past speeches, synonyms, context, and the market price led James to take the “No” side.[18:30] TSA Passenger Data—and Knowing When to PassHistorical checkpoint volume offers useful evidence, but not necessarily enough of an edge to justify a trade.[21:01] Three Trades and One Repeatable SystemJames reviews his positions and the difference between market-level and event-specific advantages.[23:00] Prediction Markets as a Continuing ExperimentWhy James plans to keep testing the approach and sharing shorter updates.Additional Resources:Kalshi: What Are Prediction Markets? — An introduction to event contracts, pricing, and settlement.Kalshi: How Prices Are Determined — How opposing orders are matched and market prices are established.Kalshi FAQ — Platform rules, prohibited conduct, trading mechanics, and account information.CFTC: Understanding Prediction Markets and Event Contracts — The federal regulator's overview of event contracts and their uses.CFTC: Contracts and Products — Regulatory information about derivatives and event contracts.TSA Checkpoint Travel Numbers — Official daily passenger-screening figures used for historical comparisons.SpaceX Launches — Official information about completed and upcoming SpaceX missions.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

What actually makes a life meaningful?In this episode of Raising Wild Hearts, Ryann Watkin sits down with psychiatrist and author Anna Yusim to explore the difference between happiness and fulfillment — and why so many people still feel empty even after achieving success.Together, they unpack the hidden cost of achievement culture, the role of authenticity in mental health, and why intuition may be one of the most overlooked guides to a meaningful life.Dr. Yusim also shares her biopsychosocial-spiritual framework for wellbeing, explaining how our biological, psychological, social, and spiritual health all shape our sense of purpose and fulfillment. This conversation explores:• The difference between happiness and fulfillment• Why achievement alone doesn't create meaning• The “still quiet voice” of intuition• Authenticity and the masks we wear• Gratitude vs entitlement• Dark nights of the soul and personal transformation• How to feel more aligned with yourself and your lifeIf you've ever found yourself wondering, “Why doesn't this life I worked so hard for feel the way I thought it would?” — this episode is for you.
Women escaping into romance novels or online relationship content is not healthy IF THEY ARE THE PURSUING PARTNER. This fake media raises expectations beyond what a man can provide in the natural universe, and increases the distance between what she wants and what he can give, just like porn does for men.But some women don't at all want more romance and are the avoidant partner, not the preoccupied one. In this case, romantic movies are like cotton candy for the mind, predictable and easy to consume. There it's no personal identification or yearning involved in the viewing. Instead it's like someone unathletic who hates the cold watching Olympic skiing, or watching detective shows despite not at all wanting to be a detective or involved in a crime!

We are kicking off our Summer at Bethlehem series with a head-first dive into the life-changing power of God's Word. The Bible is not just ancient information; it is living, active, and timely. In this raw and deeply personal message, Pastor Jason opens up about his own years-long battle with anxiety to expose a universal truth: the biggest battle of your life is won and lost in the six-inch real estate between your ears - your MIND. Preaching from Philippians 4:4-9, a passage written from the depths of a Roman prison rather than an Instagram motivational seminar, Pastor Jason teaches us that a healthy mind requires an intentional spiritual diet. If you have been trapped on an island of worry, playing out worst-case scenarios, this message serves as a practical guide to stop stuffing your emotions and start discipling your mind.
Personalization has become one of the most celebrated leadership skills of our time.But there's a version of personalization that quietly exhausts even the most capable leaders.In this episode of the Earning Conviction Series, Glenn Llopis explores the hidden danger of adapting so well to others that you eventually lose touch with yourself.
What this episode is about If you've been relying on warm referrals and introductions to bring in corporate clients, this episode is your wake-up call. Sales strategist Jess Lorimer breaks down the two distinct types of B2B lead generation that every coach, consultant, trainer, speaker, and done-for-you service provider needs to understand - and crucially, which one to prioritise depending on where you are in your business right now. With the summer window for reaching corporate decision makers closing fast, Jess explains why now is the time to audit your lead generation approach and plug the gaps before September. Who this episode is for A coach, consultant, trainer, speaker, or done-for-you service provider selling services to corporate clients Currently relying on warm referrals or introductions to generate B2B sales leads Experiencing the feast-and-famine cycle in your business - busy with delivery, then suddenly with nothing in your pipeline Unsure whether your lead generation is failing, or whether the problem lies elsewhere in your sales process Planning your B2B sales strategy for Q3 and Q4 2026 Questions this episode answers What is B2B lead generation and how is it different from just 'doing outreach'? Why isn't my lead generation converting into sales? What's the difference between active lead generation and passive visibility? When should I use active lead generation vs passive lead generation in my business? How do I stop the feast-and-famine cycle in my B2B sales pipeline? How are corporate decision makers searching for external suppliers in 2026? Key takeaways 1. Lead Generation has one job - and it's not to close sales One of the most common mistakes coaches and consultants make is judging their lead generation by whether it produced a sale. Jess is clear: the job of lead generation is to book qualified sales calls, not to close contracts. When you blend the two, you end up blaming your lead generation for problems that might actually live elsewhere in your sales process - such as your offer, your pricing, or your proposal. 2. Active lead generation: The strategy you control Active lead generation is any lead generation strategy that works while you are implementing it, and stops when you stop. Examples include: Cold email outreach LinkedIn outreach Any proactive, volume-driven outreach to decision makers Active lead generation is entirely within your control. You set the metrics, monitor the results, and can troubleshoot what's working. This makes it the right approach when you are not yet fully booked with corporate clients - because you have the time, energy, and capacity to execute it consistently. The risk: if you become too busy with delivery to keep it running, it stops. Which is exactly when many coaches and consultants find themselves with an empty pipeline. 3. Passive visibility: Lead generation that works without you Passive visibility is Jess's term for lead generation strategies that build brand awareness, visibility, and inbound leads over time - without requiring you to execute them week in, week out. Examples include: Speaking on internal company podcasts Being featured in a curated directory with proactive marketing (such as the Expert Services Directory) Activities that help you rank in AI search tools (GEO - Generative Engine Optimisation) and Google Presenting at awards events or industry panels Passive visibility strategies are compounding: they build over time. They are not designed to produce a sales call every single week, but they ensure that when a corporate decision maker goes looking for an external supplier, you show up. In 2026, decision makers are actively searching for external suppliers online. If you are not visible in those searches, you are invisible to them. The risk: passive visibility alone is not enough if you have no clients yet. You need to understand your messaging and what works before you can hand it off or systematise it. 4. You need both - at different stages of your business Active lead generation and passive visibility are not either/or. They serve different purposes at different stages: Not yet fully booked with clients? Prioritise active lead generation. Use the time and capacity you have now to fill your pipeline before it's too late. About to be fully booked or in a heavy delivery period? Start building your passive visibility now so your brand continues to generate leads while you're delivering. Relying only on warm referrals? You are not in control of your lead generation - and your business is more vulnerable than it looks. 5. The summer window is closing If you are based in the UK, you have roughly until the second week of July before corporate decision makers become significantly harder to reach. For those in Central Europe or the US, that window closes around mid-June. If you do not have a pipeline of qualified leads generating sales calls now, you need to act before that window shuts. Key Quotes "The job of lead generation is to book qualified sales calls, not to make sales." "Decision makers are searching actively for external suppliers. If you're not doing anything on that passive visibility front, you're not going to show up in search." "Active lead generation is completely within your control. And there are times in your business when you have the time and energy to be able to implement it - use them."

Summer is coming, and if you've got kids at home, you already know the tension: you want the lazy pool days AND you need to get things done. This episode is the system that makes both possible.I'm revisiting one of my all-time favorite summer planning tools: A days, B days, and C days, and this year I'm going deeper than I have before. I'm also sharing the extra layer that business owners especially need to hear: how to figure out your true "have-tos" before summer hits so you're not scrambling all season long.This is one of those episodes that sounds simple and then changes how you plan every single week of summer. I hear from women inside the TOP program all the time who use this not just in summer, but year-round, and once you get the framework, you'll see why.What You'll Learn:What A days, B days, and C days actually are and how they're different from just "blocking time"How I structure an A day (family-forward) so I still get my work done without sacrificing the funWhat a B day looks like in my house, including how I talk through it with my teenage daughter ahead of timeWhy the family communication center is the thing that actually makes this workThe business owner layer: how to audit your recurring tasks before summer and decide what's a true have-to vs. what you can let go ofWhy I only apply A days and B days Monday through Friday and why protecting weekends matters more in summer than any other time of yearHow to use this framework even if you're not running a business (yes, it works for you too)How to look ahead at June, July, and August right now and start mapping it out________________________________
In this episode, Jay and Chris discuss two types of questions from two recently published articles, one from the Navigators and one from Church Leaders. The first part of the podcast deals with what the Navigators article describes as "Storytelling Questions", defined as questions that allow people to reveal who they are. These questions help build community in groups which also aids in disciple-making. The second part of the podcast deals with good Bible study questions that help dig into both understanding and applying a Biblical passage. All group leaders should understand and use questions frequently because they help engage people in one another's lives and in their walk with Christ. Don't forget, at Brook Hills we produce a weekly Small Group Guide that focuses on Bible study questions.

On this episode of the UpLevel Dairy Podcast, Pauly Paul with Complete Management Consulting is back today to explain what separates thriving dairies from those in crisis. He says the biggest gap comes down to management, especially leaders who delegate but also work alongside employees rather than staying behind a desk.Pauly identifies three core differentiators: understanding financials and avoiding over-borrowing by reviewing budgets and financials monthly or quarterly; leading by example with consistent schedules, walkthroughs, and daily employee interaction; and getting “in the trenches” to understand tasks and improve efficiency, which can quickly turn farms from red to black when his team takes over management.He adds that profitable farms face hard truths and capitalize on opportunities like improving reproduction, semen handling, shot compliance, and breeding for higher-value “black calves,” which he estimates can add significant annual income.This Episode is Brought to you by Complete Management Consulting About Complete Management Consultingwww.CompleteManagementConsulting.comcompletemanagementconsulting@gmail.com920-418-313500:00 Why Some Dairies Win00:49 Two Types of Calls02:29 Management Makes the Gap03:01 Hands On Leadership04:26 Three Profit Drivers06:06 Know Your Financials09:05 Lead by Example Daily10:45 Work in the Barn12:18 Turning Farms Around Fast14:15 Black Calf Profit Lever17:46 Staying Ahead Long Term
“For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven.” - Ecclesiastes 3:1 Life moves in seasons—and with each season often comes new challenges, new opportunities, and sometimes new financial finish lines. On today's episode of Faith and Finance, we were joined by Cody Hobelmann, a Certified Financial Planner® (CFP), Certified Kingdom Advisor® (CKA), and co-founder of Finish Line Pledge, to discuss why adjusting your financial finish line is not only okay—it can be wise and faithful. What Is a Financial Finish Line? A financial finish line is simply an answer to the question: How much is enough? It helps separate what we intend to use for our own needs from what we can make available for Kingdom purposes. Rather than endlessly increasing lifestyle spending or accumulating wealth without direction, a finish line provides clarity and purpose. For many people, the idea of setting a finish line can feel intimidating. It may sound final or restrictive. But Cody emphasized that a finish line is not about perfection—it is about growth. Your first finish line does not have to be your last. Why Finish Lines Need to Be Revisited Just as a financial plan should be reviewed regularly, your finish line should be revisited as life changes. There are many reasons to adjust it: A new child or dependent enters your family Someone is no longer financially dependent on you You move to a region with a different cost of living Your health changes Major life transitions reshape your responsibilities These shifts may change the cost of maintaining the same lifestyle, making it wise to reassess your financial boundaries. At first glance, caps and limits can sound restrictive. But Cody shared that in practice, setting a finish line often creates freedom. Instead of constantly wondering if you need more, you begin to experience: Contentment Peace Purpose That reflects a biblical pattern. God's boundaries are not meant to diminish joy but to protect and deepen it. Financial limits can function the same way. Two Types of Finish Lines 1. A Lifestyle Finish Line This is the amount needed to support your current and future lifestyle. It helps determine the appropriate and sustainable level of spending. 2. A Net Worth Finish Line This is the amount of wealth you believe is wise to accumulate over your lifetime. Cody connected this idea to Luke 12 and the parable of the rich fool, who stored up more than he needed while missing the deeper purpose of his resources. The issue was not wealth itself, but accumulation without a Kingdom perspective. Three Questions to Help Define “Enough” Cody highlighted three key areas to prayerfully consider: Your Lifestyle Needs - What does it truly cost to live faithfully and responsibly in this season? Wealth Transfer - What resources would you like to pass on to heirs or future stewards? Conservative Margin - What reserve is wise for life's uncertainties—without placing ultimate trust in money? These categories can help shape a thoughtful and prayerful plan. If You're Beyond Your Finish Line If you realize you are accumulating more than needed, Cody suggested asking one important question: Why am I holding on to these resources in the first place? That question can expose fear, habit, or misplaced trust—and open the door to greater generosity and purpose. Start Before You Feel Ready One of the most practical insights from the conversation was this: don't wait until you “arrive” to become generous. Even if you have not reached your finish line, begin giving now. Build habits of generosity with what God has already entrusted to you. As Scripture reminds us, “You will be enriched in every way so that you can be generous on every occasion” (2 Corinthians 9:11). A Practical First Step Not sure where to begin? Try setting a finish line for the next 90 days. You do not need a lifelong blueprint today. You only need the next faithful step. Experiment, learn, pray, and refine along the way. Your finish line is not a rigid rule—it is a discipleship tool. It reminds you that everything belongs to God, and you are a steward of what He has entrusted to you. In every season, the goal is not simply to have more. The goal is to know what is enough, live with contentment, and be ready to participate in God's Kingdom purposes with joy.

I have $600,000 in a traditional IRA. Should I convert it all to a Roth at once or gradually over several years?

Most women don't realize they're stuck until they've already tried everything that was "supposed" to fix them. In this episode, we unpack one of the most frustrating experiences women face: going beyond conventional medicine, investing in functional medicine, and still feeling stuck. I introduce the two common paths women take: traditional healthcare and functional medicine and explain why both can fail in different ways. You'll hear exactly why being told “everything is normal” leaves so many women without answers, and why even advanced testing and supplement protocols don't always lead to real results. I break down the critical difference between the idea of functional medicine and how it's often delivered in practice. I explain how poor sequencing, incomplete strategies, and lack of real-time support can actually make symptoms worse even when you're following the plan perfectly. If you've ever felt like your body just isn't responding despite your effort, this conversation will hit home. You'll also learn why supplements alone are rarely the solution, and how missing foundational pieces like nutrition, lifestyle, and stress regulation can stall progress completely. I have a powerful “flower and soil” analogy to explain why your body needs the right environment before it can actually heal. Most importantly, this episode reframes the narrative so many women internalize that they are the problem. If you've tried both conventional and functional approaches and still don't feel like yourself, this isn't a failure of your body. It's a gap in the process. By the end, you'll understand exactly what's been missing—and what a truly effective, personalized approach to healing actually requires.
