LaShawn Bridges has run Blessed Beginnings Learning Center in Detroit for 27 years. She's been through a recession. She's been through COVID. And she'll tell you the hardest season of her whole career wasn't either of those. It was learning how to stop being everyone's answer.I love bringing owners into this space because the shape of the story tends to rhyme, even when the details don't. LaShawn came to me in survival mode. She had policies. She had procedures. She had disciplinary systems on paper. And she still couldn't leave her building without holding her breath.This conversation is about what happens on the other side of that. Not a personality transplant, not a quick fix, just the slow, sometimes grief-soaked work of installing infrastructure and watching who you become because of it.We talk about the identity LaShawn had to grieve to become the anchored, accountable leader she is now. We talk about what chronic over-functioning cost her physically and mentally. And we talk about what changed in her marriage, her relationship with her adult daughters, and her families, once she stopped being the fixer for everyone in her orbit.If you've ever felt guilty for wanting quiet, or scared that letting something break means you've failed, this one is for you.What You'll LearnWhy LaShawn describes her old leadership style as “survival mode” even with systems already on paperThe identity she had to grieve in order to become an anchored, accountable leaderWhat chronic over-functioning cost her physically, and how her body told her before her mind caught upThe phrase she repeats to herself to stop absorbing problems that aren't hers to holdHow she rebuilt her calendar so staff issues stop landing on her desk in real timeThe weekly rhythm that changed her marriage after 27 years togetherWhy she now sees failure as a healthy, necessary part of building a business that runs without herHow she defines excellence, for her team, her families, and herselfResources MentionedChanie's book, This Can't Be Normal: https://thiscantbenormal.com Download Chapter One for Free: https://thiscantbenormal.com/chapter-one Connect With Us:Join us on Substack: https://chaniewilschanski.substack.com/
Have you ever thought, I know what to do… so why can't I just do it?You know the foods you want to eat. You know movement matters. You may have started the diet, made the plan, promised yourself that this time would be different and still found yourself back in the same cycle.What if the problem isn't that you need more discipline?In this episode of Rewiring Health, I'm joined by certified life coach and bestselling author Lizzie Merritt for a conversation that goes far beyond weight loss.Lizzie shares her own experience of knowing all the “right” things to do while still turning to food to cope and how learning about behavior change, self-compassion, and nervous system safety completely changed the way she understood the struggle.We explore why shame can actually reinforce the behaviors you're trying to change, why food may be serving an important emotional function, and how weight can become deeply intertwined with identity, worth, belonging, and the belief that you're somehow not enough.We also talk about:Why taking away emotional eating without replacing what it provides can backfireHow to work with your body, emotions, and thoughts from the bottom upThe connection between people-pleasing, stress, and reaching for foodWhy you are not responsible for managing everyone else's emotionsHow perfectionism and pushing harder can keep you stuckWhy rest may be one of the most overlooked pieces of lasting changeHow to separate your worth from your weightSimple tools for creating safety when emotions feel overwhelmingLizzie also shares a powerful reminder: weight loss doesn't have to be the destination. It can become a doorway into understanding yourself more deeply and creating the life you actually want to live.Lizzie Merritt is a certified life coach and bestselling author of LIGHT: The New Psychology of Weight Loss and You Are A Miracle. A former middle school science teacher, she brings together brain science, behavior change, humor, and self-compassion to help women over 40 create a different relationship with food, their bodies, and themselves.If you've spent years believing you just need to try harder, this conversation may help you ask a very different question:What if I don't need more willpower? What if I need to understand what this behavior has been doing for me?Connect with Lizzie:LIGHT: The New Psychology of Weight Loss: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0G94BRJQ4The Confident Body Podcast: https://0176ede8.streak-link.com/C1GFX99Rkf-g3l5RAgTOI_YO/https%3A%2F%2Fpodcasts.apple.com%2Fus%2Fpodcast%2Fthe-confident-body-podcast-weight-loss-coaching-for-moms-psychology-brain-hacking%2Fid1660747704Connect with Kelly:If this episode resonated, start with my free Self-Abandonment Audit: a powerful first step to uncover where you may be putting everyone else first, overriding your needs, or talking yourself out of what you know is right for you.Get the audit here:https://drkellykessler.com/selfaudit The Self-Respect Reset is my 4-week self-paced course designed for women who know what they need but struggle to follow through.

Very few people in this industry have sat in all three of the seats that matter in the bank-fintech story. Amanda Swoverland started as a compliance examiner at the Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis, spent nine and a half years at Sunrise Banks rising to Chief Risk Officer, then joined Unit as its fourth employee and Chief Compliance Officer. Six months ago she became President of Hatch Bank, a California-chartered ILC that works exclusively with fintech lending partners. She still describes herself as a banker at heart, and this conversation is a good explanation of why that matters more now than it did five years ago.What We CoveredFrom Fed compliance examiner to bank presidentWhy she was never the department of noLearning product and sales inside a fintech infrastructure companyHatch Bank's credit-only model, with no depositsThe five lending verticals Hatch focuses onGoing deep with a few partners instead of diversifying across 30What a fintech gets from a small sponsor bank that scale cannot offerLifting a BSA/AML consent order in under a year"Maturing for scale" as the theme of her first six monthsUsing AI internally without sending agents out into the wildWhy the quality of founders approaching sponsor banks has gone upThe direct versus not direct debate after SynapseWhy every fintech should have a second bank partnerWhere AI is genuinely working in compliance todayDIDMCA, state charters and the usury patchworkWhat separates the sponsor banks that survive the next cycleKey TakeawaysThe "direct versus not direct" framing that took hold after Synapse is, in Amanda's view, a distraction. If a bank has a program, the bank is in charge of it, whatever technology sits in the middle and whoever is acting as program manager. Everything else is a question of how you oversee it, not who is accountable.The next failure will not look like Synapse, because that particular gap has been closed. What worries her is banks that never learned the fundamentals: liquidity, credit oversight, BSA/AML, and how a multi-party lending program behaves when the cycle turns and payments stop arriving on time.A second bank partner is good for the fintech and good for the bank. Concentration risk cuts both ways, and Amanda actively introduces her own clients to other banks she trusts, and is happy to be someone else's second bank.Compliance is heading toward 100 percent sampling. Amanda thinks the days of testing a selected sample of transactions or complaints are ending, provided you test the system, watch the outputs, and keep a human in the loop.About Amanda SwoverlandAmanda Swoverland is President of Hatch Bank, a San Marcos, California ILC that works exclusively with fintech lending partners across home improvement, small business, clean energy, student lending and healthcare financing. She began her career as a compliance examiner at the Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis, spent nine and a half years at Sunrise Banks where she became Chief Risk Officer, and then five and a half years at Unit as Chief Compliance Officer, joining as the company's fourth employee. She was named to Forbes' 2026 list of the women shaping fintech infrastructure and banking strategy.Connect with Fintech One-on-One:Tweet me @PeterRentonConnect with me on LinkedInFind previous Fintech One-on-One episodes
I first aired this one back in July 2023 and it became one of the most downloaded episodes I have ever put out. Prodromal labor is one of those topics almost nobody talks about, until you are the one lying awake at 2am wondering if THIS is finally it. So I pulled it out of the vault and dusted it off, because if you are anywhere near the end of your pregnancy, you are going to want this one in your back pocket. ❤️Can we talk about the most emotionally confusing part of late pregnancy for a second?
What if the fastest path to scale isn't wider — it's more focused? What if the businesses most people overlook are the ones most quietly building generational wealth? In this episode of That Will Nevr Work, Maurice sits down with Jon Ostenson — founder and CEO of FranBridge Consulting, top 1% franchise consultant in the United States, 2x Inc. 5000 company builder, Forbes contributor, and author of the bestselling Non-Food Franchising. Jon spent fifteen years building an elite corporate career — from international consulting at Accenture, to Vice President of Sales at Carter's managing over $350 million annually, to President of ShelfGenie's 200-location national franchise system — before making the focused, deliberate bet that changed everything: building the country's defining practice in non-food franchise consulting at a time when 80% of the market was talking about food. Today, FranBridge has guided thousands of entrepreneurs toward franchise investments in over 600 high-growth, cash-flowing brands across home services, senior care, property services, pet care, health and wellness, and dozens more — with over 90% of clients investing in an industry that was never on their radar when they arrived. In this conversation, Jon and Maurice dig into:Why niching down is the most powerful path to scaling upThe corporate exit story — what fifteen years inside the machine built and what it couldn'tWhy non-food franchising is the most underestimated wealth-building asset class availableThe semi-absentee model — building income without building another jobThe discipline of strategic "no" and why saying less yes is what most businesses need mostThe lightbulb moment — why the best opportunity almost never looks like what you expectedBuilding toward generational wealth through focused, intentional business ownership This one is for every entrepreneur who is spreading too thin, every corporate professional who wants to own something without losing everything, and every dreamer who has been told the obvious path is the best one.
We had friends over for game night and my friend was repositioning the lime on her margarita to get the perfect photo. And she doesn't even do social media. So I said, "Do it for the joy." And that's when it hit me — what a great motto to live by.In this episode I'm talking about the moments that feel like the meaning of life (the farmer's market mornings, the perfect margarita by the fire), why we're so conditioned to capture and package everything for other people instead of just being in it, and the prompt that will help you come back to what actually matters: do it for the joy.Key Takeaways:The margarita moment that sparked this whole downloadWhy we're so conditioned to do things for the gram (or for other people) instead of for the joyThe farmer's market morning where I connected with a stranger over strawberriesWhat I want to remember when I look back on my life (not the big milestones — the rich, small moments)The note I keep in my phone of moments I want to bottle upThe prompt: do it for the joy, not for the gramScaling to multiple 6-figures?

CoROM cast. Wilderness, Austere, Remote and Resource-limited Medicine.
In this episode of CoROM Conversations, Aebhric O'Kelly is joined by Dr Bill Vasios to discuss one of the most overlooked aspects of remote and austere medicine: the intelligent use of over-the-counter (OTC) medications in austere primary care.Rather than focusing on advanced equipment and prescription drugs, this discussion explores how a carefully selected collection of inexpensive, widely available medications can effectively manage many of the illnesses and injuries encountered in remote, expeditionary, humanitarian and disaster settings.The conversation emphasises clinical reasoning, careful assessment, conservative prescribing, and making the most of simple interventions before escalating treatment.Chapters00:00 – Introduction: Why OTC medicines matter in austere medicine02:22 – Traveller's diarrhoeaAssessmentOral rehydrationLoperamide: when to use it (and when not to)06:54 – Upper respiratory infectionsSymptom managementSalt-water garglesSaline spraysWhen antibiotics are unnecessary13:34 – Musculoskeletal injuriesPain packsDiclofenacPatient-guided pain managementRICE and the ice debate20:45 – Allergic rashes and contact dermatitisHydrocortisoneAntihistaminesOatmealRecognising anaphylaxis23:02 – Insect bites and stingsLocal treatmentCold therapyWhen to escalate care25:21 – DehydrationOral rehydrationIV versus oral fluidsHydration strategies in the field29:59 – Heat illnessCooling methodsField managementPreventing heat injury32:15 – Acid reflux in austere environmentsAntacidsGingerPractical management tips32:15 – Minor wound careIrrigationSoap versus antisepticsDakin's solutionAlcohol and iodinePractical wound cleaning36:45 – Building the ideal austere OTC medical kitEssential medicationsDressingsTapeWater purificationSplintsEpiPensMulti-use equipment41:20 – Final discussion, audience questions and wrap-upThe discussion concludes by assembling a practical remote medicine kit, including:Oral Rehydration Salts (ORS)ParacetamolIbuprofenLoperamideAntacidsOral antihistaminesHydrocortisone creamAntifungal creamTopical diclofenacZinc oxide tapeCohesive bandage (Coban/Vet Wrap)SalineSoapCling filmDressingsGauzeSunscreenWater purification equipmentSAM splintsEpiPenCompact medication organiser (FOLCA)Key Take-Home MessagesGood assessment should always precede medication.Oral hydration remains the cornerstone of treating dehydration.Many common conditions can be managed safely with inexpensive OTC medications.Every item carried should ideally have multiple uses.Patient education and involvement improve outcomes.Simple treatments, applied correctly, are often more effective than complicated ones.Featured SpeakersAebhric O'Kelly: Paramedic, educator and Rector of the College of Remote and Offshore Medicine.Dr Bill Vasios: Physician Associate, educator and specialist in austere and remote healthcare.Resources MentionedWorld Health Organization Oral Rehydration Solution (ORS)Wilderness Medical Society clinical practice guidelinesJoint Trauma System Clinical Practice Guidelines (JTS CPGs)Bristol Stool ChartOttawa Ankle RulesListen, Learn, DeployWhether you're preparing for an expedition, humanitarian mission, offshore deployment or remote clinic, this episode provides practical, evidence-informed advice on building a lightweight, effective medical kit capable of managing the conditions you are most likely to encounter.

What if the season you are in right now is not the waiting room for your calling but your actual calling?I have been sitting on this one for a while because it is personal. It is about the lie that if you do not have a publishing deal, a record deal, a charting song, or a full time income from music then you are not really doing it. That you are just a hobbyist. That you are an imposter waiting to be found out.In this episode I talk about:The imposter syndrome that crept in during my own season in NashvilleWhat happened when music became my full time income and the get to became a have toThe messages I got from all over the world when I relaunched Called to Music and what they told me about this communityWhy Paul made tents, David kept sheep and Peter kept fishing and what that means for your calling right nowWhy your calling is not on hold until your income catches upThe freedom that comes from understanding that calling is never really about the income modelIf you have ever felt like you were not quite there yet this episode is for you.

For decades, migraine was explained to patients as a blood vessel problem: swelling, throbbing, treat it by shrinking things back down. That explanation is mostly a myth, and it may be part of why so many older treatments never worked.Dr. Fred Cohen is medical director of Headache Intervention and an assistant professor of medicine and neurology at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. He's one of the few headache specialists in the country trained in both internal medicine and headache medicine, has over 40 publications in journals including The Lancet and Cephalalgia, and has lived with migraine himself since his teens.In this conversation, you'll explore:Why migraine is a neuroinflammatory condition, not a vascular one, and why some medical schools still teach the outdated versionThe "broken thermostat" phenomenon of chronic sensitization, and how untreated migraine can convince your brain that constant pain is normalWhy only about 30% of people with migraine ever experience aura, and the surprising range of ways it can actually show upThe current treatment landscape, from triptans to CGRP therapies, Botox, neuromodulation devices, and what's coming nextWhy Dr. Cohen calls this the golden age of headache medicine, and what that means if you gave up on treatment years agoIf migraine has ever made you feel like your body was working against you, or like you'd already tried everything, this conversation will change how you see both.You can find Fred at: Website | Instagram | Episode TranscriptNext week, we're sitting down with Marisa Renee Lee to talk about why the tidy stories we tell ourselves about grief and resilience tend to fall apart, and what it actually looks like to build a life around pain instead of waiting to get past it.

You know that Yosemite Sam moment — face red, stomping around, hooting and hollering, wearing yourself completely out and never actually getting what you were aiming for? That's unprocessed anger. And if you've ever been tagged the angry one who goes zero to 100, or you're over here as the calm, non-confrontational one who swallows it until it explodes six weeks later — this episode is for you.Today we're getting into the real difference between anger and resentment, why bottling it up in the name of "no drama" is quietly wrecking your confidence and self-trust, and what it actually looks like to let anger do its job instead of letting it drive. Because confidence isn't a personality trait — it's evidence. And every time you go Yosemite Sam or give the silent treatment, you're teaching your nervous system you can't be trusted to handle your own feelings.We're talking the self-love two-step remix for catching anger the moment it shows up, the three moves you can make depending on what the situation calls for, and why even your valid points get lost when the delivery is foul. Anger was never bad or wrong — it's information. It's Day-Day in Friday After Next. It wants action, not a place to move in and live rent-free.IN THIS EPISODE:The real difference between anger and resentment (and why they get confused)Why unaddressed anger becomes dis-ease in the bodyThe self-trust cost of "hooting and hollering" vs. naming it clean and earlyThree moves to make when anger shows upThe self-love two-step remix for processing anger in real timeTIMESTAMPS:00:00 Anger Running You00:55 Anger Working For You02:44 Anger Versus Resentment04:07 Confidence And Self Trust08:48 What To Do With Anger11:12 Final EncouragementWATCH ON YOUTUBE — To learn the ONE thing to do with anger right now

A real, predictable pattern that shows up right before a woman walks into the healthiest, most secure relationship of her life.

As another week comes to a close, it's easy to jump straight into the next thing on your list. More goals. More responsibilities. More notifications. More reasons to stay connected.But sometimes what we need most isn't another podcast, another book, or another piece of advice.Sometimes we simply need to slow down.In this episode, I encourage you to use the weekend as an opportunity to reflect on where you've been, appreciate the progress you've made, and spend time being present instead of constantly consuming more information.Reflection isn't about judging yourself. It's about creating enough space to notice what's working, recognize what you've learned, and head into next week with greater clarity.Your goals will still be there.Your responsibilities will still be there.Just don't forget to make room for your life while you're building it.In this episode:Why slowing down is productive in its own wayThe value of reflecting before moving on to the next goalHow constant connection can keep us from being presentWhy weekends are an opportunity to reset, not just catch upThe importance of making time to decompressHow reflection creates clarity for the week aheadA reminder that life is happening while you're working toward your goalsIf you're always looking ahead, this episode is your reminder to appreciate where you are today.If you want to go deeper on what we talk about on the Almost Daily Podcast, sign up for the Journal Prompt emails at yourlevelfitness.com/emailIf you'd like to continue the conversation about building a calmer, more intentional life, join the live streams at yourlevelfitness.com/stream

You know what happens right before you do something new — have a conversation you've never had before, make an offer, raise your price, put something out into the world. Before the thing has even happened, your brain gets to work playing out every version of how it could go: what if they say no, what if they have an objection, what if no one signs up, what if it doesn't go the way I planned.And it feels productive — like if you could just think through every scenario in advance, you'd walk in prepared for anything. But that's not preparation. That's the what-ifs — and they're one of the sneakiest ways we hold ourselves back from actually doing the thing.In this episode I'm getting into why we spiral like this anytime we're about to do something that feels new, risky, high-stakes, or vulnerable. As human beings, we want to KNOW — we want to know how it's going to go, we want to be in control of every step, and we've decided that success means things going exactly according to plan... which is just not possible.This came up recently with my clients inside the Passionate & Prosperous Academy around sales calls — what if they say no to the price, what if they ask for the number before I've even had the real conversation — and it's the same thing that shows up at every phase and stage of business and life, no matter how experienced you are.What I get into is the difference between the what-ifs you can actually build a contingency plan for and the ones you simply cannot know the answer to until they're happening — and why spending your time and energy trying to figure it all out in advance is so often just a way of avoiding taking the action.Because the real skill was never having a script for every scenario. It's being anchored in WHY you've made the choices you've made — why you built the offer, why you priced it the way you did, why you do things the way you do — and trusting your skills and your foundation enough to assess, decide, and respond in real time. So much of what we learn in our businesses and our lives comes from DOING the thing — and then going, okay, that happened, here's how I dealt with it, and now I know.In this episode, we're talking about:The what-ifs that show up anytime you're about to do something new, risky, or vulnerable — and why they come up at every phase and stage of business and lifeWhy we want so badly to know the outcome in advance and control every step — and why "success = going according to plan" sets us upThe difference between a what-if you can build a contingency plan for and one you can't know until it's actually happeningWhy spending time and energy trying to account for everything in advance is often just a way of avoiding taking actionWhat it means to be anchored in WHY you've made the choices you've made — so you can respond in real time instead of needing a scriptWhy so much of what we learn in business and life only comes from doing the thing — and the question to ask when it doesn't go as planned: okay, so now what?You were never going to be able to plan for all of it — and this episode is about trusting yourself enough to stop trying.Summer Business School: https://www.staceybrassrussell.com/summer-biz-schoolPassionate & Prosperous LIVE!: https://www.staceybrassrussell.com/passionate-prosperous-live-2026Book a call with Stacey: https://my.timetrade.com/book/DFGVN
Some weeks, showing up feels impossible.Not because you've quit.Not because you don't care.You're just... tired.In this unplanned and completely unscripted solo episode, I talk through something I've been wrestling with myself. What do you do when you're mentally, emotionally, and physically exhausted, but your dreams are still waiting on you?This isn't an episode where I pretend to have all the answers. It's a conversation about trying to move forward when motivation is gone, perfection isn't happening, and "doing your best" looks different than it did a few months ago.I share why I believe progress still counts, even if all you have in you is one small step.If you've been feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or like life has quietly passed you by while you've been trying to survive, this one's for you.In This EpisodeWhy being tired isn't the same as giving upHow perfection keeps us from showing upThe power of making your goals impossible to ignoreWhy regulating your nervous system matters more than pushing harderHow the people around you can either fuel your dreams or slowly talk you out of themWhat "1% better" really looks like when you're running on emptyDAMN ChallengeThis week, don't try to change your entire life.Just pay attention.Notice where your mind naturally goes.Notice how your body responds to stress.Notice whether the people around you push you toward your dreams or pull you away from them.Then ask yourself one simple question:What's one small thing I can do today to move my life forward?No heroics.Just one step.If This Episode HelpedIf this conversation resonated with you, I'd love to hear from you.

For years, every time another relationship ended, I asked the same question: what is wrong with me? Why does everyone else get the ring while I get another "it's not you, it's me" text? I figured the answer was out there somewhere, in the right man, the right timing, the right effort. Then I lost my mom, and in the middle of the hardest season of my life, the question changed on its own. Not what's wrong with me, but who am I without her? That's the season that taught me self-love isn't something you do while you wait for the relationship. It IS the relationship.IN THIS EPISODE:Why "what's wrong with me" is the wrong question if you're stuck in your single season and ready to give upThe fear I felt every time I had to tell a man I wanted marriage, and why it pushed good ones away before they had a real chanceHow grief turned my search for love into a search for myself, and why that changed everythingThe 3-part self-love audit: what you're feeding yourself, what you believe about love, and whether you actually see how amazing you areTIMESTAMPS:00:00 Single Season Struggle01:22 Dating Streets Reality02:47 Media Shapes Beliefs04:50 Loss And Self Discovery06:36 Called Up Not Out07:40 Three Part Self Audit13:11 Nothing Wrong With You15:56 Invitation To Wholeness16:54 Final EncouragementGET YOUR JOURNAL PROMPTSFriend, if you've been swirling in your single season way too long for your taste and you're high-key ready to give up, but you know after the next break you'll be right back on the dating scene hoping for different results, grab the Main Character Energy Journal Prompts

The MLB owner proposal to restructure the draft — including eliminating the high school portion and shrinking the minor leagues — landed last week. The reaction across the baseball internet was the usual reflexive "negative." This episode is the case for the other side, and it lands on a thesis BSGB has been building toward for two years: college baseball's player development resources are underrated, and the loudest criticisms don't hold up against the data.Trevor and Dan walk the proposal piece by piece, then spend the back half breaking down why college dev is the better environment for almost every prospect not named Konnor Griffin.The thesis arc:Cost-saving for cost-saving's sake (capped bonus pools, eliminated rounds) gets a flagCutting minor league teams to reinvest in the ones that remain gets a thumbs-upThe high school draft elimination is the heart of the conversationThe "college coaches don't care about development" take gets dismantledThe "minor leagues are safer because of pitch counts" take gets dismantledThe actual proof: Skenes, Lowder, Chase Burns, Nick Kurtz — each one built inside a college programThe injury prevention edge: programs running NewtForce mounds with integrated biomechanics flag the risk before the pitcher feels it (vs. a road-trip start in low-A with no data infrastructure)The trickle-up reality: spin metrics, high-ride fastballs, every "new" thing the MLB broadcasters discover — college was running it two years earlierThe coach reality: Wes Johnson, Matt Hobbs, Dan Heefner are at college programs because that's where the development happens, the resources are, and the pay matchesWhy people get this wrong:Survivorship bias. The Konnor Griffin and Jackson Holiday cases are real — they're also unicorns. The kids most baseball fans never name — Riley Pint, Lonnie White, the Guardians' "million-dollar outfield" — got drafted out of high school for seven figures and never sniffed the big leagues. Two years of high-level college baseball would have given them a shot at maturity, an education, a fallback, and a more developmental environment than the bus to Jackson, Mississippi.Why college player dev is actually better:Tech parity (or surplus) vs. an MLB org's minor-league systemTop coaches making more in college than they would as pro pitching coordinatorsIntegrated biomech + ground-force + bullpen data layers inside the buildingCoach access (Matt Hobbs, Dan Heifner, Wes Johnson) for direct daily repsEducation + maturity layer that no minor league system can replicateWhy this matters:The MLB owner proposal is a starting point, not a contract. But the premise that college baseball can absorb more of the development pipeline — especially with NIL paying these kids real money to stay — is on extremely solid ground. The case Trevor and Dan lay out here is the cleanest defense of college player development BSGB has done on the pod.00:00 Intro · Take Two (Wi-Fi-Loss Edition) 01:30 The Gym Streak + Sunday Move Day 09:30 The MLB Draft Restructuring Proposal 10:30 What's Good · Reinvesting in the Minors 13:30 What's Bad · Capping Free-Agent Bonus Pools 16:00 The High School Draft Conversation 19:30 Survivorship Bias · Riley Pint, Million-Dollar Outfield 23:00 College Player Development, Underrated 27:30 The Tech Offsets the Pitch Count 30:30 Skenes, Lowder, Burns, Kurtz · The Proof 35:00 Player Dev Trickles UP, Not Down 38:00 Injury Prevention Tech in College 41:00 The Coaching Reality · Wes, Hobbs, Heefner 45:00 Why Pro Coordinators Get Paid Less Than College Assistants 48:30 Recruiting + Roster Spots · The Transfer Pushback 53:00 The Education Layer + NIL 56:30 The International Draft Conversation 1:00:00 What People Get Wrong About College Baseball 1:04:00 Closing · The Game Wins If This Goes Through
In this episode of The Midlife Purpose Project, I'm joined by author Ann Tashi Slater for a beautiful conversation about bardo, a Tibetan Buddhist concept often translated as an “in-between state.”Ann is the author of Traveling in Bardo, a book about how we move through uncertainty, change, transition, loss, illness, identity shifts, and all the spaces where life no longer looks the way it once did — but the next chapter has not fully arrived.And isn't that so much of midlife?Our bodies change. Our roles change. Our relationships change. Our children grow. Our identities shift. The world around us can feel uncertain and unstable. So often, we want to rush through the discomfort and get to the place where everything finally feels settled.But what if the in-between is not something to escape?What if it is actually a sacred place of possibility, insight, and transformation?In this conversation, Ann and I explore how bardo can help us understand the human experience of impermanence, why our resistance to change often creates more suffering than the change itself, and how we can begin to meet the uncertainty of life with more presence, compassion, and inner steadiness.We also talk about the connection between Tibetan Buddhist wisdom and yoga philosophy, especially around acceptance, karma, action, alignment, and the importance of living in a way that reflects what truly matters to us.This episode is for you if you are in a season of transition, questioning what comes next, grieving a life that no longer exists, or learning how to stop fighting reality and begin listening for the wisdom that can only arrive in the quiet.In This Episode, We Talk AboutWhat bardo means in Tibetan Buddhism and how it applies to everyday lifeWhy midlife can feel like a powerful “in-between” stateHow resistance to change increases sufferingWhy acceptance is not the same as giving upThe relationship between karma, action, and personal agencyHow our thoughts, words, and actions shape the experience of our livesWhy distraction keeps us from seeing clearlyHow to align your time and energy with what matters mostThe importance of listening to your true self beneath conditioning, people-pleasing, and old rolesWhy mortality can help us live with more clarity, courage, and intentionThe possibility hidden inside both voluntary and involuntary transitionsAnn Tashi Slater has written for The New Yorker, The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Paris Review, and many others. In her Darjeeling Journal column for Catapult, she writes about her Tibetan family history and bardo, and she blogged for HuffPost on similar topics. She presents and teaches workshops at Princeton, Columbia, Oxford, Asia Society, and The American University of Paris, among others.

Hillary Dater came to a BEST LIFE Retreat a few years ago -- not because she was in crisis, but because her work brought her there. She had what looked like everything: a dream job in the nonprofit sector, family, community, a life that rang all the bells.And still, something wasn't quite right. She just hadn't stopped long enough to notice.What followed the retreat was a series of genuinely bold moves: a move to the mountains, leaving a career she'd spent decades building to pursue something that actually lit her up, a fly fishing trip to Argentina with her son -- her first international travel in thirty years -- and a year spent intentionally, deliberately, scheduling fun back into her life.In this conversation, Hillary and Laurie talk about what it actually looks like to stop living on the sidelines of your own life...even when the life you're living is already pretty good. They talk about joy as something that has to be practiced, not assumed. About asking for help as a skill. About the moment Hillary's father, in hospice, looked at her and said: "I've got all the time. I've got the money to do anything I want. And I don't have my health. Don't make that mistake."This episode is proof that you don't have to be in crisis to deserve change. You just have to decide the life on the other side of the investment is worth more than the comfort of staying put.What we coverHow Hillary came to the BEST LIFE Retreat for work -- not because anything was wrong in her life -- and what happened after she leftThe light fixture epiphany: the moment she realized she couldn't answer the question "what do you like?" and what that revealed about how far she'd drifted from herselfWhy being in a room of women you barely know can be more liberating than being with your closest friendsThe "scared-cited" feeling: what happens when you share a bold idea with the wrong people first...and what happens when you share it with the right onesHow Hillary's dad's final words from hospice changed everything: "I've got all the time and the money, and I don't have my health. Don't make that mistake."The Hardy reel, the screaming line, the fish she stopped counting, and the moment she realized she hadn't known what fun felt like in decadesMoving to the mountains: the guilt, the fear, the grief...and what she found on the other side (her daughter making her breakfast in pajamas)Argentina: fly fishing with her son, thirty years without international travel, and what happens when you know the what and trust the universe with the howThe year she color-coded her calendar to schedule fun — and how 2026 became the year fun stopped being scheduled and started being just who she isAsking for help as a skill: how fly fishing taught her to say "I don't know this, but I want to"...and trust that willing teachers would show upThe belief she'd been carrying that she was difficult and unpleasant to be around — and what the retreat helped her see insteadWhat it means to leave a legacy while you're still here — and why watching mom live her best life is one of the greatest gifts she can give her childrenThe long arm quilting machine, the 55th birthday sand dunes, the riding lawnmower coveralls...and what it means to finally say yes to yourselfQuotable moments"I'm in a great place. I was in a great place, but I'm in an even better place now — and I feel more authentically myself than I ever have in my entire life.""When you're all there for the same purpose, even if everyone's path is different — it just becomes a game changer.""When you've got a dream and you're aligned with it and you're leaning into it, the path opens up for you.""I just had to get really comfortable with being bad, asking a lot of questions, asking for help...none of those things are like me.""I've got all the time. I've got the money to do anything I want. And I don't have my health. Don't make that mistake." — Hillary's father, from hospice"This is fun. This is what fun feels like." — the moment on the river that changed everything"The idea of not taking the risk and always wondering, if I had just let my life pass me by, if I had just remained sitting on the sidelines...that was way more scary than the idea of doing it.""Don't let life put you back on your heels. Lean into it." — Hillary's grandfather"Get in the game. It's never too late to make a change. It's never too late to be your authentic self.""Every time that I've leaned into something, even if it felt a little scary or overly indulgent, the reward and the return on that investment has just paid off in spades.""Every time I see you, I'm living my best life — and I have you to thank for it."Resources + links mentionedDie With Zero by Bill Perkins — referenced in conversationThe BEST LIFE Retreat Book a 15-minute call with LaurieIf this episode moved you, share it with the woman in your life who has a pretty good life — and deserves to know it can be even better.

Google just announced the biggest change to search in its history — and not everyone is happy. At Google I/O, the search bar became a search box, signaling a full shift toward conversational, Gemini-powered search. The market is already reacting: DuckDuckGo rocketed from around position 400 to the top 100 in the app stores almost overnight, right around the May 20–21 launch. Mike Ryan and Chris unpack what a privacy-and-no-AI search wrapper suddenly surging tells us about consumer appetite — and why the relentless pace of change is exhausting retailers and experts alike.Then: fresh eMarketer data puts the AI advertising hype into much-needed context. AI ad spend in the US sits around $32B in 2026 (roughly a third of Google's search spend), but ~80% of it is just AI-search-adjacent — ads above and below AI Overviews. The chatbot-driven slice everyone is panicking about? Tiny. We dig into why OpenAI's $100B ad ambition looks unrealistic, what the 2030 projections actually say, and why the real takeaway for CMOs and CDOs is: prepare, but don't abandon your bread and butter.The throughline: everything is changing, and everything is staying the same. With limited budget and talent, the retailers who win are the ones who resist FOMO, pick their battles, and keep investing in the core campaigns that still drive the business.In this episode:Why Google's “bar to box” change is its biggest search shift ever — and what it implies about how Google wants you to searchDuckDuckGo's surge from ~position 400 to top 100: a clear sign some consumers find the new box too muchWhy the pace of change may now be too fast even for Google itselfAI Max for Shopping vs. PMax — the strategic misalignment Google may not even seeWhy standard shopping is here to stay (and the comeback we called early)The new eMarketer data: ~$32B AI ad spend in 2026, ~80% of it AI-search-adjacentWhy OpenAI's $100B ad goal and the 2030 chatbot-ad market projections don't line upThe real CMO/CDO playbook: prepare efficiently, beat the FOMO, protect your bread and butterAbout Smarter Ecommerce (smec):Smarter Ecommerce (smec) empowers e-commerce brands with AI-driven PPC automation that optimizes for profit and business outcomes while maintaining strategic control.The platform activates first-party data - profit margins, customer lifetime value, and key business metrics - to automate campaign optimization toward goals like profitability and efficient growth, while detailed campaign insights provide full transparency and enable PPC teams to focus on strategic oversight rather than manual execution.As a Google Premier Partner and three-time Microsoft Retail Partner of the Year, smec manages over €500 million in ad spend and drives €5B+ in annual e-commerce revenue for 350+ global retail clients including THG, Snipes, REWE, and Intersport.Make sure to follow smec - Smarter Ecommerce for more performance marketing insights:smec - Smarter Ecommerce: https://www.smarter-ecommerce.comLinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/company/smarter-ecommerce-gmbhNewsletter: https://smarter-ecommerce.com/en/newsletter/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/smarterecommerce/
Tyson sits down with Ryan Webber to unpack the custom “YouTube research skill” he built in Claude that has transformed his law firm's YouTube channel. Ryan shares how he took fifteen thousand dollars' worth of training from top YouTube strategists plus six years of experience, loaded it into Claude, and created a skill that now does the research those strategists used to do for him.You will learn:Why YouTube is a click‑first platform and why titles, topics, and thumbnails are eighty percent of successHow Ryan's skill scans niche and adjacent channels, pulls outlier videos, and turns them into ten prioritized title and thumbnail ideas with data to back them upThe shift from “YouTube for local clients only” to broader topics that took their channel to one hundred thousand subscribers and over one million views per monthHow Tiffany records just two hours a month, uses teleprompter scripts built in Claude, and still generates 1.5 million monthly viewsHow they turned seventy‑eight hundred dollars in monthly AdSense into roughly seventy thousand dollars in revenue by reinvesting into high‑ROI ads and funnelsRyan breaks down exactly how he uses cowork to trigger the skill, how it checks oneof10.com trackers and YouTube analytics, and why he now invests about eighty percent of his effort into research, titles, and thumbnails before ever worrying about video polish.

If you've been showing up online and not seeing the results you were hoping for, there's a good chance one of these five mistakes is part of the reason why.In this episode, I'm walking through the most common things I see businesses do when they first get into marketing — patterns that come up with my clients, at networking events, and in conversations I have on a regular basis. None of these are about working harder. Most of the time it's about shifting the approach.What You'll Learn:Why trying to be on every platform at once tends to slow your growth down rather than speed it upThe difference between a content creator and a marketer — and why it matters when you're deciding who to hireWhy entertaining content and purely educational content can both work against you if that's all you're creatingWhy creating content week to week keeps you reactive instead of strategic — and what to do insteadWork With KLC The Studio: If you recognized yourself anywhere in this episode, that's exactly what our first call is for.

This is the first of three episodes diving deeper into resilience. Last week I explored how resilience can look like different things - this week, I'm focusing on one of the three key areas: the Self-Care Bank.It's a metaphor that's generated so much interest, and today I'm unpacking what it really means - and why what gets labelled as 'lack of resilience' is often actually lack of resources.You'll hear:Why depletion isn't a sign of weak resilience - it's a sign of low reservesHow self-awareness with self-compassion helps us notice when our bank is running low (before crisis hits)The difference between firm boundaries (that we sometimes need) and the reality of the soft, malleable boundaries we often actually live withWhy rest and pausing are themselves forms of boundary-settingHow 'staying authentic' is part of keeping your reserves topped upThe corporate culture that values decisiveness over reflection - and what it costsWhy borrowing from your future self in crisis is human and necessary (and why we need time to rebuild after)I also talk about Compassionate Resilience - from my book The Heart of Change - and why that reframe matters.Next week: a special guest episode with Adam Lind - author of Floating Home - exploring masking as a form of resilience.Settle in and see where the episode takes you. ★ Support this podcast ★
Most leaders learn to read a company by its story. Colleen Gallagher learned to read it by its numbers.In this episode, AJ Vaughan sits down with Colleen Gallagher, CEO of Textio, the HR technology company that has spent more than a decade helping some of the largest organizations in the world write sharper job postings and make better hiring decisions.Colleen did not come up the traditional people path. She started in consulting, running diligence on companies being bought, sold, and financed, learning to assess a business fast by how it made money and where it put that money to work. That foundation carried her from CFO to COO to CEO of Textio, and it still shapes how she leads.We get into:How finance gives you visibility into the entire organization instead of a single trackWhy strategy is really the allocation of two limited resources, money and timeWhat it takes to assess the health of any business quickly, starting from the invoice level upThe thinking behind Lavalier, Textio's new interview intelligence platform, is built to keep hiring anchored to skills and evidence instead of opinionWhere hiring decisions are heading as the evidence underneath them gets strongerIf you care about the financial logic underlying people's decisions, this conversation is for you.Learn more about Textio: https://textio.com/The Business of Alignment is where workforce leaders name what is actually true about the future of work.
This one is a throwback and it still hits.Craig Johnson is the founder of Wild Ass Seats, a Minnesota-based manufacturer of premium motorcycle air cushions built in an FDA-approved medical device facility. He started the company about 10 years ago and has spent the better part of the last decade traveling the country, working shows, and building one of the most loyal product followings in the powersports accessories space.In this conversation with Brian, Craig talks about what drives him to keep pushing, why the best dealers are the ones willing to get educated on products rather than just looking for what is new, and what happens when a manufacturer has inventory but the distribution chain is broken.He also dropped a line that every parts manager and every dealer rep should hear: if they are not selling your product, they do not know enough about it yet.That is still true.What we cover:What keeps Craig going after a decade of building Wild Ass from the ground upThe pressure mapping test Craig ran against competitors at a local medical supply facility and what it showedWhy customer stories, not sales numbers, are the real fuel for a founderThe training portal Wild Ass built to incentivize dealer reps and parts staff to get educatedWhy asking what is new is the wrong question — and what dealers should be asking insteadThe manufacturer's perspective on supply chain blame: how dealers blame the brand when the distributor is the actual problemHow a great product can sit in a warehouse while the floor sells nothing because nobody passed on the knowledgeWild Ass's 10th anniversary expansion into UTVs, cars, trucks, tractors, and stadium seatingWhy this product is no longer just for long-distance motorcycle ridersWatch on YouTube: https://youtube.com/@dealershipfixit?si=xGw636a89UUDAK20Connect with Craig Johnson: https://www.linkedin.com/in/wildasscraig/Wild Ass Seats: https://www.wild-ass.comConnect with Jacob: https://linkedin.com/in/jacob-b-berryFollow the Fixit Online: https://linktr.ee/dealershipfixitMotoHunt for Dealers: https://dealers.motohunt.com
If you've ever flinched right before sending a proposal — rounded the number down, added a discount no one asked for, or held your breath waiting to hear back — this episode is for you. That flinch is not a character flaw, and it's not a confidence problem you need to fix in the mirror. It's a predictable, almost universal pattern among service-based founders, and it has real, traceable causes.In this opening episode of The Pricing Problem, Sheena defines what underpricing actually is — a gap between your prices and the value you create, the true cost of delivering your work, or the pace of work you can sustain — and walks through the five root causes she sees most often: pricing from your old salary, anchoring to your very first client, pricing the deliverable instead of the transformation, using competitors as your compass, and protecting yourself from the word no.From there, the conversation turns to the real cost of underpricing — the revenue you'll never recover, the capacity that quietly keeps you the bottleneck, the client mix that skews toward your most draining clients, and the resentment that's almost always a pricing problem in disguise. Sheena closes with the Pricing Honesty Check: five questions designed to surface, honestly, where your pricing actually stands today.This episode is about diagnosis, not prescription. Before you decide what to charge, you need to understand why you're priced where you are. That's the work this week.Key Topics CoveredWhat underpricing actually means — and the three different ways it shows upThe five root causes of underpricing for service-based foundersWhy pricing from your old salary undercharges by designThe difference between pricing the deliverable and pricing the transformationWhy competitor pricing is one of the least reliable signals you can useThe four real costs of underpricing — lost revenue, lost capacity, the wrong client mix, and quiet resentmentThe Pricing Honesty Check: five questions to assess where you really standKey TakeawaysUnderpricing isn't a confidence flaw — it's a predictable pattern with traceable causes.Competitor pricing tells you what people are charging, not what they should be charging — or what you should.Underpricing doesn't just shrink your revenue. It guarantees you stay overcommitted.Price is a filter. A low price disproportionately attracts the most price-sensitive, scope-creeping clients.Resentment in your business is very often a pricing problem wearing a disguise.Diagnosis before prescription — you can't fix what you haven't honestly named.Resources MentionedStrategic Discovery Audit Full TDC service ladder: Optimize Leadership, Optimize Operations, Elevate & Lead VIP Day, Leadership Sprint, Impact CoachingProgramming NoteThis is part one of The Pricing Problem, a new four-part series.

Episode 308 is equal parts personal and political — a candid panel conversation that moves from the deeply human to the urgently civic, and finds the thread connecting them both.Barrett opens with a milestone worth celebrating: consistent podcasting since 2020, now well past 300 episodes. But he doesn't linger on the achievement — instead, he gets honest about what's kept him grounded through it all, including his sobriety journey since March 4th and the role that mental health awareness has played in his life on and off the mic. It's a rare, unguarded moment that sets the tone for everything that follows.Joined by O'Shawn McClendon Jr. and Shelby Spencer, the conversation expands into the world around them. The panel digs into how social media shapes the way we see ourselves, our communities, and our politics — for better and often for worse. From the flood of information to the paralysis it can cause, they explore what it actually takes to stay engaged without burning out.From there, the discussion turns to voting, organizing, and the kind of collective action that creates real change. Barrett shares his straightforward philosophy — "I vote, I just show up at the polls" — and the panel unpacks why that simple act still carries enormous weight, especially when paired with community organizing and political awareness. They also explore the role of privilege in political engagement and what it means to show up for your community even when the system feels rigged against you.The episode closes with updates on The Haunt, a community engagement initiative in the works, and a reminder that consistency — whether in podcasting, sobriety, or civic life — is itself a form of resistance.Topics Covered:300+ episodes of podcasting and the power of showing up consistentlyBarrett's sobriety journey and the importance of mental healthSocial media's influence on perception, engagement, and political awarenessNavigating voter overwhelm and the case for simply showing upThe intersection of politics and privilegeCollective action and organizing for social changeThe Haunt: community planning and local engagementShelby Spencer | InstagramO'Shawn McClendon | InstagramBarrett Gruber | LinktreeThe All About Nothing: Podcast | LinktreeCayce-West Columbia JayceesClick here for Episode Show Notes!As always, "The All About Nothing: Podcast" is owned and distributed by BIG Media LLC!Check out our network of fantastic podcasts!Click Here to see available advertising packages!Click Here for information on the "Fair Use Copyright Notice" for this podcast.Mentioned in this episode:BIG Media Copyright 2026BIG Media LLCCheck Your Voter RegistrationVisit https://theallaboutnothing.com/voter to check your registration!

Ever wonder why staying calm feels impossible in tough moments? The Co-Dysregulation Cycle fuels burnout and emotional overload. Dr. Roseann Capanna-Hodge, expert in Regulation First Parenting™, shows how calming your nervous system transforms your child's behavior.Have you ever promised to yourself that you'll stay calm—but suddenly you're yelling again? You're not alone.The co-dysregulation cycle no one talks about explains why emotions escalate so quickly—and why it's not a failure, but a nervous system response. Learn more about why it's important to calm the brain first to shift the pattern and create real, lasting change.Why do I lose control when my child melts down?It feels like it comes out of nowhere—but it's not a character flaw. It's biology. When your child becomes dysregulated, your nervous system automatically mirrors that intensity.Emotions are contagious—like yawning, they spreadYour heart rate, breathing, and stress hormones sync upThe thinking brain (prefrontal cortex) goes offlineReal-Life Example: You're cooking dinner, your child starts whining, and suddenly your voice sharpens. You didn't plan it—it just happened.It's not bad parenting—it's a dysregulated brain.What is the Co-Dysregulation Cycle in parenting?The Co-Dysregulation Cycle is a back-and-forth escalation between your nervous system and your child's.Here's how it unfolds:Child becomes overwhelmed → meltdown, refusal, or shutdownParent reacts → stress rises, patience dropsParent responds with urgency or control → “Stop it now!”Child senses more threat → escalates even furtherTwo dysregulated nervous systems can't create calm.

In the final day of the Success Frequency live training, Marley shares a real-time personal breakthrough on feminine and masculine energetics and exactly why leading from your masculine is keeping you stuck, burnt out, and capped — no matter how driven you are.Get your Spot our LIVE Toronto Event: https://marleyrose.mykajabi.com/offers/oLPgxHPn/checkoutMarley gets raw and vulnerable about her own journey from operating in full masculine overdrive — crushing Red Bulls and doing everything herself — to unlocking her first $120K month by doing less and desiring more. She breaks down the exact energetic shift that changed everything, and shares two stories (a business class flight and a Fendi bag) that perfectly illustrate how feminine energy actually magnetises money.What You'll LearnWhy hustle is keeping you capped — and why working harder will never get you past a certain ceilingThe feminine vs. masculine energy breakdown — what each role actually is (hint: it has nothing to do with gender)The "butterfly net" analogy — two ways to catch what you want, and why one burns you outClean desire vs. ego desire — the difference that determines whether money flows or dries upThe radio frequency analogy — why trying to attract money through masculine energy is like tuning to the wrong stationThe $120K month story — what Marley was (and wasn't) doing differently that monthHow to lead with desire first — a practical shift to stop doing and start magnetisingKey Quotes"Feminine leads, masculine follows — always.""Your job is not to go out hunting. Your job is to pick your berries — and the deer will be brought to you.""I was so capped because everything was contingent on my effort. I was constantly burnt out, constantly feeling like a man.""When you make the first move with your desire, the universe will always provide for you.""The universe is taking attendance. When you invest in yourself, you will always be rewarded."Resources:
