Joining us for this episode of Diverse Thinking Different Learning is Dr. Viannae Nelkin.  Dr. Viannae Nelkin is a board-eligible pediatric neuropsychologist and founder of The Children's Neuropsychology Center. She earned her master's and doctorate in clinical psychology, training at top institutions including Children's Hospital Los Angeles, Cedars-Sinai, Johns Hopkins All Children's Hospital, and Children's Hospital of Orange County. Her work focuses on early intervention, neurodiversity-affirming care, and empowering families to help their children thrive. Deeply committed to supporting children with neurological and genetic conditions, she will soon return to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center to continue her specialized work. ​​This conversation explores understanding the brain's remarkable ability to grow and adapt (its neuroplasticity) and how it can help shape how parents, educators, and clinicians support children with learning differences. Rather than viewing assessments as an endpoint, we discuss how each evaluation is a starting point or a roadmap revealing a child's unique learning profile and potential for growth. Dr. Nelkin describes neuroplasticity as the brain's superpower, an ongoing ability to form and strengthen neural pathways throughout life. She explains that learning differences are not signs of inability but are rather reflections of how differently each brain processes information. Through this lens, interventions aren't "fixes" for broken systems but are instead workouts for the brain - strategic ways to build new connections and reinforce weaker ones. Throughout our conversation, we highlight why early intervention is so important. The first few years of life are a critical window for development when neural connections form rapidly and learning experiences leave lasting imprints. However, families are too often told to "wait and see," delaying support until challenges have really taken a toll on a child's confidence, motivation, and emotional well-being. Dr. Nelkin highlights that early intervention can change that trajectory and can help kiddos not only catch up academically but also develop resilience and self-assurance. Our discussion challenges the stigma surrounding assessment and diagnosis. We stress that an evaluation doesn't define a child's limits but rather brings their strengths and needs to light so that educators and parents can customize support. We also discuss the incredible importance of collaboration between neuropsychologists, teachers, and caregivers. As Dr. Nelkin reminds us, the most powerful word in a child's journey is "yet" - they haven't mastered it yet, but with the right support, their potential is truly limitless! Show Notes: [2:33] - Dr. Viannae Nelkin highlights the importance of neuroplasticity to focus on children's potential rather than labels. [4:00] - Dr. Nelkin offers a comprehensive definition of neuroplasticity. [6:13] - We learn why Dr. Nelkin regards interventions as extra workouts for the brain. [9:20] - How can neuroplasticity be nurtured? [11:12] - Dr. Nelkin regards neuroplasticity as the brain's superpower. [14:14] - Dr. Nelkin argues for reframing stigma around assessments and collaborating between neuropsychologists, teachers, and parents.

In this Episode: Episode Theme: Discipline Over Motivation Hosts Mark Cardone and Theron Feidt discuss how consistency is the vital key to progress (the Kaizen principle). The goal is to overcome the fear of "forever" by focusing on small, daily movements rather than massive, unsustainable efforts. Step 1: Define Your "Micro Practice" Create a habit that is linked to a larger goal but is so small that it is impossible to fail. Too Small to Fail: Don't aim for a marathon; aim for putting on your shoes. If you do it once, it means little, but over time, the compound interest is massive. Focus on the Start: The hardest part is the first 10 seconds. Focus entirely on getting over the hump of starting (e.g., getting on the treadmill for just 2 minutes). Examples: One extra phone call, deep breaths, or reading a single page. Step 2: Time Block Your Priorities Treat your new habit like a non-negotiable appointment with yourself. Be Realistic: Don't block out for 4 hours if you don't have them. Block out a specific, realistic window (e.g., 15 minutes). Remove the Decision: By scheduling it, you remove the mental energy of deciding if or when you will do it. It becomes automatic. Non-Negotiable: Treat this time slot with the same respect you give a doctor's appointment or a child's game. Step 3: Habit Stack & Remove Friction Anchor your new micro practice to a "Bedrock Habit" - something you already do automatically every day (like brushing your teeth, pouring coffee, or getting out of bed). The Formula: Identify a trigger (Bedrock Habit) Perform the Micro Practice immediately after. "Set Up Your Next Shot": Use the billiards strategy. Prepare the night before to remove friction (e.g., lay out your running clothes so you don't spend 15 minutes looking for shoes).1 The Supersets Analogy: Like in weightlifting, pair two activities together so the momentum of one carries you into the other.   Key Quote "Consistency in itself isn't a bad thing for progress, it really is a great thing for progress... If you want to achieve results, you have to be consistent."   ARN Suggested Reading: Blessings In the Bullshit: A Guided Journal for Finding the BEST In Every Day – by Mark Cardone & Theron Feidt https://www.amazon.com/Blessings-Bullshit-Guided-Journal-Finding/dp/B09FP35ZXX/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=blessings+in+the+bullshit&qid=1632233840&sr=8-1 Full List of Recommended Books: https://www.achieveresultsnow.com/readers-are-leaders Questions? 1.   Do you have a question you want answered in a future podcast? 2.   Go to www.AchieveResultsNow.com to submit.

In this Episode: Episode: "Refocus to Rise" Series, Episode 2 Hosts: Mark Cardone and Theron Feidt Topic: Boosting Your Body and Energy The hosts frame this episode as a guide for anyone needing a "reset," particularly for the new year. The central idea is to shift focus away from traditional health metrics like weight and instead prioritize energy, which they define as the capacity to do important daily tasks, like playing with kids or being present with a spouse. Here are the three main steps discussed for increasing and managing your energy: 1. Audit Your Energy, Not Your Weight The hosts argue that focusing on the scale is "backwards" because energy is a more immediate and relevant metric. Weight can be misleading (e.g., a bodybuilder's high muscle mass), but you always know how your energy feels right now. Action: For one week, keep a simple log (in a notebook or phone) of when you feel low energy. Goal: Look for the "cause and effect." Do you crash at 10:30 a.m. every day? It might be the sugary donut you ate earlier. Is it after a specific meal? Tweak: Once you find a pattern, make one small tweak (e.g., swap the donut for nuts) and see how it impacts your energy levels. 2. Move with Purpose, Not Pressure This step is about integrating movement consistently without feeling overwhelmed. Action: Define your "non-negotiable minimums" for movement. This could be a 20-minute walk or 20 squats. Setting a small, achievable minimum often leads to doing more. Action: Use "habit stacking." Attach a small movement habit to something you already do. For example, do 20 squats while your coffee brews or you're waiting for the microwave. Action: Celebrate the action, not the result. Instead of focusing on the mirror or the scale, celebrate the fact that you were consistent and "did the thing" you said you would do. 3. Prioritize Recovery and Sleep The hosts emphasize that movement and workouts tear muscles down; recovery is where "the magic happens." Action: Create a "shutdown ritual." This is a 15–30-minute wind-down period before bed to relax your body (e.g., light stretching, reading a book, putting your phone away). Action: Schedule your wind-down. Put it in your calendar or set an alarm (e.g., 9:15 p.m.) to remind yourself to begin the ritual, as it's easy to forget when busy. Action: Focus on sleep quality over quantity. While the amount of sleep varies for everyone (it's not a weakness to need 8 hours), the quality is key. Ensure your room is dark, quiet, and cool. You can use trackers (watches, rings) to monitor your REM and deep sleep to see what's working.   ARN Suggested Reading: Blessings In the Bullshit: A Guided Journal for Finding the BEST In Every Day – by Mark Cardone & Theron Feidt https://www.amazon.com/Blessings-Bullshit-Guided-Journal-Finding/dp/B09FP35ZXX/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=blessings+in+the+bullshit&qid=1632233840&sr=8-1 Full List of Recommended Books: https://www.achieveresultsnow.com/readers-are-leaders Questions? 1.   Do you have a question you want answered in a future podcast? 2.   Go to www.AchieveResultsNow.com to submit.

Jesus said His disciples should "wash each other's feet" - helping wash off the dust and grime that gets on our souls from living in this present evil age.

We happily welcome Dr. Adi Soffer to Diverse Thinking Different Learning this week! Adi Soffer, PsyD is a licensed psychologist who works with children, teens, and families, and she combines family structure therapy with evidence-based practices to help families strengthen communication, establish healthy boundaries, and deepen emotional connections. Passionate about guiding parents and children through challenges such as anxiety, behavioral issues, and major life changes, Dr. Soffer offers care via her private practice, Kesher Psychological Services. She sees clients in Los Angeles and provides virtual sessions throughout California and Florida. When a child is struggling with learning, behavioral, or emotional challenges, the focus is often on finding the right therapy for the child. However, as Dr. Adi Soffer explains, this approach may be missing an important piece - the family system. She firmly believes that families function as interconnected systems, and when one member is struggling, the whole system feels the impact. By shifting the focus from fixing the child to strengthening the entire family system, families can reduce stress, improve relationships, and lead to better outcomes for kids and teens. Dr. Soffer outlines her approach to family systems therapy, bringing the entire family into the first session, not just "the identified patient." Instead of discussing the child's problems, she asks questions about the family's dynamics, traditions, and what they would like to change. This allows her to observe the family's communication patterns, boundaries, and power dynamics. She also highlights the importance of understanding the family's structure and communication style, as these factors can deeply impact a child's emotional well-being and behavior. Dr. Soffer explains how poor communication, conflict avoidance, or unclear expectations can contribute to ongoing stress at home, which in turn affects the child. By working with the family, however, she helps them develop healthier communication and set clear expectations and boundaries. This, in turn, can reduce the child's anxiety and stress, as they no longer have to worry about the unpredictability of their home environment. We also explore how the family systems approach shifts when working with teenagers, who are often pushing for more independence, with Dr. Soffer discussing the importance of balancing the teen's need for autonomy with the family's need for involvement and how this can create an environment of empathy and connection within the family. Overall, we highlight the powerful impact that a family systems approach can have on supporting children and teens struggling with various challenges. By addressing the entire family system, therapists can create lasting change and help the whole family thrive.   Show Notes: [3:03] - Hear how Dr. Adi Soffer begins therapy by including the entire family system rather than isolating the child. [6:43] - Dr. Soffer observes family dynamics via structured activities, games, and collaborative drawing. [9:32] - Family therapy examines communication, boundaries, and where each member fits in the relational hierarchy. [12:21] - Dr. Soffer makes the case that clear routines and consistent boundaries reduce chaos and help children feel secure and less anxious. [14:29] - Parents often unintentionally reinforce anxiety by teaching children that the world is frightening. [16:27] - Therapy highlights how children's struggles often reflect parental triggers and emotional challenges. [19:29] - Removing the "identified patient" label eases a child's burden and reduces family pressure. [20:13] - Dr. Soffer argues that constant focus on negative behavior teaches children to internalize damaging beliefs about themselves. [22:02] - Teens need both autonomy and clear parental boundaries to be successfully independent. [25:28] - Families begin to align as a team when therapy highlights shared responsibility and individual identity. [27:39] - Dr. Soffer explains how emotional Jenga can help parents model vulnerability and normalize healthy emotional expression for children. [30:27] - Hear how a teen realized that his parents' feelings mattered too after returning from a month away. [32:34] - Dr. Soffer argues that parents build resilience by balancing support with boundaries and not over-accommodating their kids. [35:09] - A parent's real role is preparing children to face failure, rejection, and life's challenges. [36:18] - It's important for children to face discomfort and uncertainty instead of being shielded by anxious parents. [39:18] - Dr. Soffer asserts that focusing on family strengths can transform household dynamics and improve the overall atmosphere. [40:38] - How can Dr. Soffer be reached?

In this Episode: Episode: "Refocus to Rise" Series (Part 1) Hosts: Mark Cardone and Theron Feidt This episode kicks off a new end-of-year series called "Refocus to Rise," designed to help listeners reset and build momentum for the new year. The hosts, Mark and Theron, emphasize that while the new year is a natural time for a fresh start, these principles can be applied at any time. The topic of this first episode is Mindset, which the hosts identify as the most important starting point for any change. The goal is to "clear the clutter"—the negative thoughts, habits, and beliefs tied to past failures—before building new goals. Here are the three actionable steps outlined in the episode: 3 Steps to Refocus Your Mindset Step 1: The Setback Audit This step is designed to turn past disappointments into empowerment. 1.   Identify: Get a piece of paper and write down your "top three" setbacks, failures, or disappointments from the past year. 2.   Learn: Next to each setback, write, "This happened and I learned..." and fill in the blank with the specific lesson you gained from the experience. 3.   Release: Once you have extracted the lessons, symbolically destroy the paper (shred it or safely burn it). This signifies that you are done with the negative emotion, have kept the lesson, and are moving on. Step 2: Reframe Your "I Can't" Statements This step focuses on changing your self-limiting language. Become aware of when you use negative or limiting phrases like "I can't." Immediately reframe the statement. For example, change "I have a big problem" to "I have a challenge to overcome." A powerful technique suggested by Mark is to reframe "I can't" into an empowering question: "How could I?" This shifts your brain from a state of limitation to one of active problem-solving. Step 3: Establish the Single Domino This step is about building momentum through small, focused actions. Avoid the common trap of creating a massive, complex plan with multiple new habits at once, which leads to overwhelm and inaction. Instead, identify the one single thing you can do right now that will make an impact and build momentum. Examples include drinking one glass of water every morning or walking for 15 minutes. Focus on successfully doing that one thing for 30 days. This "single domino" will create momentum and make adding the next habit easier. Key Takeaways On Hearing Old Advice: If you hear a concept you've heard before, don't shut down by thinking, "I know this." Instead, ask, "What can I learn from this?" to stay open to new nuances. The Power of Momentum: The hosts reference a key lesson (from Tony Robbins) to "never leave the site of setting a goal without taking at least one action." This immediate, small step is crucial for creating the momentum needed to follow through. This episode serves as the foundation for the rest of the "Refocus to Rise" series, which will continue in the following weeks.

In this Episode: In this episode of the "Achieve Results NOW!" podcast, hosts Mark Cardone and Theron Feidt discuss how to identify and overcome the weaknesses and limitations that are holding you back. They introduce the core concept using an analogy: successful people have their foot on the accelerator (motivation, taking action), but many also unknowingly have their other foot on the brake (limitations, missing skills, or a bad attitude). This podcast provides a tactical plan to identify and remove that brake. The hosts note that many people set the same goals year after year (like fitness) and fail, leading them to believe they are the roadblock and give up. The solution is to identify the specific skills or attitudes that are missing. They outline three steps to overcome these limitations: 1.   Seek Specific, Candid Feedback: This is the hardest step. Ask 3 people you trust for honest, behavioral feedback (e.g., "How is my approach with people?"). The most important part is to listen to the feedback without getting defensive or letting your ego get in the way. 2.   Look at the Data (Self-Check): Objectively review your results in key areas of life (finances, health, career). Identify your "frustration list"—the areas where you're stuck—and then determine the specific skills or habits you're lacking. 3.   Prioritize and Create an Action Plan: Take ownership and avoid a "victim" mentality. Review your list of weaknesses and pare it down to the top 2-3. Then, pick just one to focus on, and create a 30-60 day action plan to develop new habits and overcome it. They also note that sometimes the right action is to delegate a weakness that isn't the best use of your time. The episode concludes by emphasizing that taking focused action on a single weakness is the key to breaking through and achieving results.

In this Episode: In this episode of the "Achieve Results Now" podcast, hosts Mark Cardone and Theron Feidt discuss the tactical topic of "getting more done in less time." They frame this as a follow-up to their previous episode on finding peace, noting that productivity creates the "margin" in life needed for peace. The hosts identify that people often waste time by filling whatever deadline they are given (e.g., taking a full week for a task that only requires one day). To combat this, they outline three main steps: 1.   Shrink Your Deadlines: Intentionally give yourself less time to complete a task. This forces you to be more focused and intense. They compare this to exercise, noting that a short, 15-minute workout or a 10-minute walk is better than doing nothing because you feel you don't have a full hour. 2.   Use the Timer Trick: Set a physical timer to create focused work "sprints." The hosts give examples, such as a sales job that had a mandatory, highly productive 1-hour "prospecting hour" or using the four minutes a microwave is running to complete other small chores. This creates intensity and focus. 3.   Limit Your To-Do List: The hosts warn that long to-do lists (e.g., 100 items) are overwhelming and lead to procrastination or "busy work"—doing easy, low-priority tasks first. They advocate for identifying your "top three" most important priorities (A1, A2, A3) for the day and focusing on those to ensure you are moving the needle on what matters, rather than just staying busy. The episode concludes by stating that the goal of these strategies is to help listeners get more done so they have more time for peace and other good things.

For this episode of the show, we are joined by Amy Cushner! Amy has dedicated more than 30 years to the Shelton School and a lifetime to advocating for neurodivergent individuals, infusing passion, humor, and wisdom into every stage she graces. From classrooms in Dallas to conferences in China, she has become a sought-after voice championing inclusive, strengths-based approaches across both education and business.. In this episode, Amy breaks down the important differences between accommodations, modifications, and remediation in the education system, explaining how these terms are often used interchangeably but have distinct purposes that can significantly impact a child's learning journey. Amy discusses the historical context, which traces back to Thomas Jefferson's vision for public education and the challenges of the "Goldilocks effect," ensuring the right fit for every student. She highlights why it's so important to understand the “magic number” that determines when remediation is provided, highlighting that the need for support does not disappear just because a student falls short of the threshold. Amy stresses the importance of understanding important distinctions as they have major implications for a student's educational journey, particularly when it comes to college and career choices, and she also emphasizes the crucial role of early intervention and the empowerment of students to self-advocate, using visual cues and clear communication about their accommodations. Throughout our conversation, Amy shares some valuable insights and practical advice for parents and educators, highlighting the need for a collaborative approach and the recognition that every child's learning journey is unique.  Show Notes: [3:21] - Amy Cushner traces public education's evolution from Jefferson to modern challenges in individualized learning. [6:54] - Students often get accommodations when remediation or intervention is truly required. [7:12] - Amy criticizes rigid “magic number” cutoffs for remediation, calling them unfair and financially motivated. [9:13] - Accommodations, Amy explains, provide classroom access without altering expectations or content. [11:18] - Amy contrasts accommodations with modifications, which lower expectations to match processing or cognitive challenges. [13:54] - Amy highlights knowing accommodation vs. modification and likens it to learning another country's customs. [15:12] - Remediation can help develop missing skills caused by neurological learning differences, not intellectual deficits. [17:31] - Research shows us that remediation builds entirely new neural pathways, effectively rewiring students' brains. [20:17] - When schools won't fund remediation, parents have to seek external diagnoses and licensed therapists. [23:19] - Hear how true remediation requires trained therapists. [26:45] - Remediation needs to be paired with accommodations like audiobooks for full access. [27:39] - Amy explains how modifications alter curriculum expectations, influencing future school and college options. [30:02] - Amy suggests that teachers can use accommodations across the board to help build learning from the ground up. [32:32] - Starting instruction too high frustrates students, while accommodations let them build confidence gradually. [34:59] - Educational advocates help parents navigate laws, testing, and school obligations, helping to ease parental burdens. [38:10] - Timely intervention prevents years of lost learning caused by eligibility cutoffs. [41:21] - Amy encourages early remediation and teaching children to self-advocate for their accommodations. [44:29] - Honest conversations can help kids avoid developing inaccurate, damaging narratives about struggles. [45:48] - Amy reframes nonstandard brains as strengths that offer unique ways of seeing the world. [47:02] - What is the best way to get in touch with Amy Cushner?

I am here today with Erin Gallagher, America's number one hype woman. Erin has taken stages across the country to rally women around their power, and she is the author of the upcoming book, Hype Women: Breaking Free from Mean Girls, Patriarchy, and Systems that are Silencing All of Us. In this powerful conversation, Erin takes us back to her Coast Guard upbringing, moving every two to four years and navigating her parents' divorce while taking on the role of family caretaker at a young age. She shares how sports became her outlet for anger and intensity, and how finding sisterhood in an unexpected place—her college sorority—shaped her understanding of collective power. Erin opens up about her journey from wanting to be a lawyer fighting for justice to pivoting into marketing and communications, where she thought she could use big brands' power to inspire change faster. We dive deep into her 15 years in corporate America as an ambitious, unhealed, people-pleasing perfectionist who lost herself serving others, and how becoming a mother finally gave her less room for bullshit. She courageously shares the painful reality of co-founding a company where she didn't demand her value or worth, leading to a devastating business divorce. Erin reveals the mantra that changed everything: "I will no longer abandon myself in service to others." We explore why not all women deserve hype, how to identify mean girls and patriarchy's foot soldiers, and why karma is currency and hype is capital in the new ecosystem she's building.   Key Topics: Learning early that anger and service were gendered expectations—and writing a manifesto about it at age 10 Finding sisterhood and collective power through sports and sorority life as essential survival tools Pivoting from law to mission-driven communications work after witnessing injustice firsthand at a legal nonprofit Becoming a mother and finally running out of room for corporate bullshit and performative people-pleasing The devastating reality of business divorce and being undervalued in a company you co-founded Why "I will no longer abandon myself in service to others" became the mantra that changed everything Identifying mean girls and patriarchy's foot soldiers—not all women deserve your hype or energy Creating the Hype Women economy where we shift capital (time, energy, money, platform) to each other strategically Connect with Erin online: Book: Hype Women: Breaking Free from Mean Girls, Patriarchy, and Systems that are Silencing All of Us Get it Here: https://www.hypewomen.com/ Social Media: https://www.instagram.com/erin.gallag.her/?hl=en   Find more from Syama Bunten: Instagram: @syama.co, @gettingrichpod Website: wealthcatalyst.com Podcast: wealthcatalyst.com/getting-rich-together-podcast Download Syama's Free Resources: wealthcatalyst.com/resources Wealth Catalyst Summit: wealthcatalyst.com/summits Speaking: syamabunten.com Big Delta Capital: www.bigdeltacapital.com  

In this Episode: This podcast episode of the "Achieve Results Now podcast" focuses on the importance of cultivating peace and stability not as an end goal, but as a crucial mindset for effective achievers and leaders. The hosts, Mark Cardone and Theron Feidt, dispel the misconception that one cannot be both highly successful and peaceful, arguing that peace enhances leadership and achievement. The goal is to provide listeners with actionable steps to increase their mental "margin" and handle unexpected daily events without losing their stability. Core Theme: Peace as a Tool for Achievement The hosts stress that peaceful people are more effective leaders because their stability builds trust. They view peace not as an "on/off switch," but as a dial that can be adjusted. Establishing a peaceful mindset helps listeners be more effective and happier, enabling them to deal with the unexpected rather than constantly being in a "reaction zone." 3 Action Steps for Living with More Peace 1. Establish a No-Reaction Zone in the Morning Own your morning: Dedicate the first part of your day (ideally an hour but start with 15–30 minutes) to yourself before engaging with external demands. Avoid immediate stress: Do not check email, text messages, or social media during this time. Focus on fulfillment and direction: Use the time for positive activities like: Reviewing and physically rewriting your top goals. Practicing gratitude. Taking a quick walk to get fresh air and sunlight. Build in flexibility: Avoid creating an "end-to-end" morning schedule that easily crumbles. View this time as flexible and enjoyable, not as another stressful "to-do" item. 2. Implement the Pause and Ask Rule This step is about creating space between a trigger and your response to maintain control over your emotional state. Take a quick breath and pause when hit with an external challenge (e.g., traffic, an inconsiderate person, an employee with a problem). Ask yourself critical questions: "Is this worth my peace?" and "Is this worth me getting upset about?" Recognize the difference between intention and action: Many issues are due to thoughtlessness, not malicious intent. Choose your response: By pausing, you prevent your ego from taking control, allowing you to choose a peaceful, measured response rather than reacting automatically, especially in trivial matters like traffic or minor arguments. 3. Schedule Unscheduled Time This is a time management technique to create vital "margin" in your day, preventing you from constantly rushing. Build buffer time into your schedule: If a task or commute takes 15 minutes, schedule 30 minutes. Actively block out time: Use your calendar to schedule these buffers as "run over time," "catch up time," or "flex time." Use the time wisely: If the time isn't needed for recovery, plan to use it for constructive, peaceful activities like reading a book, listening to educational content, or tackling a task for the next day. This prevents you from defaulting to social media scrolling and further enhances your peace.     ARN Suggested Reading: Blessings In the Bullshit: A Guided Journal for Finding the BEST In Every Day – by Mark Cardone & Theron Feidt https://www.amazon.com/Blessings-Bullshit-Guided-Journal-Finding/dp/B09FP35ZXX/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=blessings+in+the+bullshit&qid=1632233840&sr=8-1 Full List of Recommended Books: https://www.achieveresultsnow.com/readers-are-leaders Questions? 1.   Do you have a question you want answered in a future podcast? 2.   Go to www.AchieveResultsNow.com to submit.

Joining us for this episode of Diverse Thinking Different Learning is Rana Lustyan! Rana Lustyan is the founder of Growing Minds Coaching, where she helps students with learning differences develop confidence, independence, and academic achievement. She combines strength-based coaching, neuroscience-informed methods, and practical executive function tools to create personalized routines that last.   Rana shares her personal journey with ADHD and how it inspired her to help students, especially girls and young women, build the essential life skills needed for lasting confidence and independence. She explains that executive functioning coaching is distinct from educational therapy or tutoring; it is a dynamic, strengths-based approach that helps individuals develop practical skills around planning, organization, time management, task initiation, and more. Rana's POSITIVE acronym outlines the key areas of focus, from prioritizing goals to evaluating progress! The coaching process involves an in-depth intake to understand the student's unique challenges and strengths, followed by weekly 45-minute sessions and regular accountability check-ins. Rana highlights the importance of building trust and meeting the student where they are, often sharing her own experiences to help them feel understood and supported. Rana's approach includes periodic family team meetings to celebrate wins and address any additional concerns, with the ultimate goal of autonomy and equipping students with the tools to manage their lives independently. She also discusses the phasing-out process, where support is gradually reduced as the student gains confidence and mastery. Whether struggling with procrastination, perfectionism, or emotional regulation, Rana's executive functioning coaching can be helpful, especially for girls and young women with ADHD. Show Notes: [3:02] - Rana explains how executive function coaching builds strengths-based strategies for planning, time management, autonomy, and lifelong resilience. [6:33] - Girls often go undiagnosed with ADHD, masking symptoms through perfectionism, overwork, and internal hyperactivity. [8:54] - Acronyms such as POSITIVE help students remember EF skills such as planning, self-advocacy, and initiation. [11:39] - Task initiation, time management, and visualization strategies support students in overcoming procrastination and distractions. [14:36] - Intake sessions can help gather detailed family, academic, and personal context to build trust and customize coaching. [16:14] - Rana argues that students gain confidence via productive first sessions and ongoing check-ins between weekly meetings. [18:45] - As a coach, Rana validates feelings while guiding students toward solutions parents often mishandle. [20:55] - Executive function struggles may include procrastination, perfectionism, rigidity, emotional regulation issues, and burnout risks. [23:56] - Misinterpreting EF challenges as laziness or lack of motivation delays vital support, especially for girls. [25:19] - Rana argues that family team meetings celebrate student wins, build autonomy, and align goals between parents and children. [28:24] - Rana's 16-session model promotes autonomy via flexible, individualized coaching cycles. [31:07] - EF coaching normalizes struggles, strengthens family bonds, and equips students for lifelong growth.

In this Episode: This podcast episode of the "Achieve Results Now podcast" focuses on the importance of overcoming your ego to find clarity and achieve better life results. Hosts Mark Cardone and Theron Feidt argue that people's need to be "right" often prevents them from discovering the truth and improving. Key Theme: Truth Over Ego The hosts share the central quote for the episode: "Don't let your need to be right be more important than your need to find out what's true." They explain that the need to be right comes from ego, a subconscious self-protection mechanism that makes people think being wrong means they are a "bad person." The podcast then outlines a three-step guide to help listeners move past their ego and embrace a growth mindset. 3-Step Guide to Overcoming Ego 1. Practice the "I Could Be Wrong" Mindset Acknowledge the Possibility: Internalize the idea that you might be incorrect, rather than using the phrase as a disclaimer before arguing your point. Shift Your Goal from Winning to Learning: Instead of approaching discussions with the goal to dominate or win the argument, approach them with the goal to learn new information. This change in mindset lowers your defenses and opens you up to growth. The hosts emphasize that it takes courage to admit, "I don't know the answer to that." 2. Focus on Understanding, Not Just Arguing Listen Actively: Pay attention to what the other person is saying with the intent to understand, not just to prepare your reply. Ask Clarifying Questions: Use open-ended questions like, "Can you help me understand that?" or "Tell me more about that?" to dig deeper into the issue. Summarize/Restate Their Points: Verbalize your understanding of their points or challenges. This helps them feel heard and allows them to correct you, leading to mutual clarity and better relationships. This concept is likened to the medical idea of being "prescriptive" instead of just handing someone your "glasses." 3. See Mistakes and Disagreements as Opportunities Change "Problems" to "Opportunities" or "Challenges": This slight change in language lowers the temperature of the situation and reflects the truth that challenges are a chance to learn and get better. Embrace Humility (and being wrong as a win): You learn far more from your mistakes than your successes. Being a "lifelong learner" requires being comfortable with being wrong. Model the Behavior: Show others it's okay to be wrong. When you are corrected, thank the person for helping you learn and grow. This is especially important for parents to do with their children to build trust. The hosts conclude by encouraging listeners to apply these steps to have more productive conversations and achieve better results in all areas of life, not just money or career.

In this Episode: This episode of the Achieve Results Now podcast, hosted by Mark Cardone and Theron Feidt, focuses on mastering second and third-order consequences, which extends the typical negative view of "consequences" to include the positive long-term results of our actions. The hosts argue that people often only consider the immediate, first-order consequences (e.g., exercise is painful; saving money means a lack of immediate pleasure) and fail to think about the significantly greater second and third-order consequences (e.g., better health, increased energy, improved mood, long-term wealth). The podcast provides practical strategies by applying this concept across three crucial areas of life: 1. Applying to Finances  The main strategy is pausing before you buy (like the hosts jokingly discuss with sneaker purchases). •    Action: Take a moment to think before making impulse purchases, especially when a salesperson pressures you with a "today only" deal. •    Long-Term Consequences: Weigh the opportunity cost of the money. Not buying a small item now allows that money to be used later for more productive things, such as investing (leading to growth faster than inflation) or funding more meaningful experiences (like a dinner with a spouse). This is about choosing long-term gain over short-term pain. 2. Applying to Diet and Health  The hosts emphasize looking beyond the immediate pleasure of unhealthy food. •    Action: Consider the aftermath of what you eat. While eating a treat may be great for a few seconds, the later consequences (feeling sluggish, having low energy, physical discomfort) are negative. •    Long-Term Consequences: Prioritize your health by viewing food as nutrition and energy, not just comfort or a reward. Work with a nutritionist to craft a healthy diet that limits the feeling of "missing out" (the first-order consequence pain). Recognizing that sugar is addictive and affects both energy and mood is key to making conscious, healthy choices. 3. Applying to Relationships  This section focuses on the long-term cost of "winning" a conversation or argument. •    Action: Pause before you talk and resist the urge to prove yourself right or tear down the other person. Think about the ripple effect your words will have, as they can cause permanent damage to trust. •    Long-Term Consequences: Winning an argument only feels good for a moment (first-order consequence), but it destroys the relationship's foundation. Instead, focus on building trust and having open conversations, perhaps by simply asking, "Are you okay?" This helps you preserve and grow long-term relationships, which are a primary determinant of overall happiness. The hosts conclude by encouraging listeners to "team up, don't give up" and find supportive people to help them tackle struggles in any of these areas.

In this Episode: In a podcast episode on the "Achieve Results NOW!" podcast, hosts Mark Cardone and Theron Feidt discuss the difference between resilience and adaptability, highlighting why both are crucial for navigating life's challenges, both big and small. ·        Resilience is defined as the ability to "bounce back" and withstand difficult situations, like a tree bending in a storm without breaking. ·        Adaptability is the ability to change and grow new skills to better face future challenges, ensuring that you don't break when a storm returns. The hosts break down three actionable steps to help listeners cultivate both skills: 1.   Reframe Your Thinking: The first step is a mindset shift. Instead of calling a problem a "problem," reframe it as a "challenge." This simple change in language can positively influence your approach and mindset, helping you move from a place of conflict to one of collaboration and solution-finding. 2.   Embrace the Minimal Viable Action: This involves breaking down an overwhelming challenge into the smallest possible tasks. By taking small, manageable steps, you create momentum and prevent feelings of panic. This approach also helps you find quick solutions instead of trying to solve the entire problem at once. 3.   Build a Support Network: Surrounding yourself with supportive people is key. A good network offers encouragement, accountability, and a different perspective. They also challenge your way of thinking and introduce new ideas, which is essential for growth and adaptation. The hosts emphasize the importance of not siloing yourself with people who think exactly like you.

Joining us for this episode of Diverse Thinking Different Learning is Leslie Forde! ​​Leslie is the CEO and Founder of Mom's Hierarchy of Needs® and soon-to-be published Author of Repair with Self-Care: Your Guide to the Mom's Hierarchy of Needs. Her business provides evidence-based tools to help moms reclaim their time and well-being from the never-done-list while also helping employers retain working parents and caregivers. Since March of 2020, over 3,700 parents have participated in her research study (the longest-running of its kind) on the pandemic's ongoing impact on work, care, and wellness. With more than twenty years in senior leadership and a decade focused on media and technology in childcare, eldercare, mental health, and education, Leslie is a sought-after speaker and consultant. She advises organizations such as HubSpot, Merck, Scholastic, and the Barr Foundation on how to retain and support parents, caregivers, and people of color. Our conversation explores the growing crisis of parental stress and maternal mental health, which has been made so much worse by a perfect storm of factors such as the lasting impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, rising costs, shortages in healthcare and childcare resources, and the unique challenges faced by parents of neurodivergent children. Leslie shares some insights from her extensive research on the topic, explaining how parents, especially mothers, are struggling to balance the demands of caregiving, household management, and careers, often at the expense of their own well-being. The guilt, shame, and lack of flexibility in the workplace make it especially difficult for many parents to ask for the support that they desperately need. Leslie highlights the critical importance of parents, especially mothers, prioritizing self-care even in small ways to build resilience and model healthy behaviors for their children. She provides practical tips such as identifying a daily "anchor" activity and being mindful of decision fatigue to help parents carve out time for their own mental, physical, and emotional needs. Our conversation also goes into the direct connection between parents' mental health and their children's wellbeing, and how, by supporting parents, we can have a profound impact on the whole family. This conversation offers a powerful and timely exploration of the parental mental health crisis, with practical insights and solutions that can make a real difference for families!

In This Episode: Discipline isn't about punishment; it's about teaching children positive habits and self-reliance out of love. In this episode of the Achieve Results NOW! podcast, hosts Mark Cardone and Theron Feidt share three key action items to help parents and guardians raise well-adjusted, successful children. Drawing on their decades of experience working with kids, they emphasize that these principles are not only for parents but also for anyone in a leadership role. Action Item 1: Establish Clear Expectations and Consistent Routines Children thrive on structure. The hosts explain that a routine is like a roadmap that provides security and reduces resistance. They encourage parents to create a visual schedule for kids, making expectations clear and manageable. This is especially effective when tasks are broken down into smaller, actionable steps. They stress that consistency is vital; routines should be followed regularly to become a natural part of a child's life. By involving children in the creation of their routines, parents can gain buy-in and help kids feel a sense of ownership. Action Item 2: Teach Problem-Solving and Natural Consequences The hosts advise against being an enabler. Instead of rushing to "fix" every problem for a child, they suggest allowing them to experience natural consequences (when safe). For example, if a child forgets their jacket, they'll feel cold, which is a powerful lesson. This approach teaches responsibility and shows children that their actions have direct results. The hosts also recommend asking open-ended questions to guide children toward solving their own problems, rather than simply telling them what to do. This helps them develop crucial self-reliance and critical thinking skills.   Action Item 3: Model the Behavior You Want to See Children are highly observant and learn more from what their parents do than what they say. The final, and perhaps most important, step is to model the discipline and self-control you want to instill in your kids. If a parent constantly flies off the handle or handles conflict with anger, their children are likely to adopt similar behaviors. The hosts highlight that children are not their parents' friends and shouldn't be a receptacle for adult problems. By being a stable, respectful, and responsible role model, you create a safe environment and teach your children what it means to be a well-adjusted adult.

In this Episode: In this episode of the Achieve Results NOW! podcast, hosts Mark Cardone and Theron Feidt explain that the biggest obstacle to success isn't a lack of knowledge, but a lack of action. They present three practical strategies to help listeners close the gap between knowing what to do and actually doing it. 1. Shrink Your Starting Line The hosts suggest overcoming overwhelming goals by focusing on the immediate, smaller steps. They use the analogy of running a long distance, where instead of thinking about the entire route, you focus on reaching the next landmark. This concept is embodied in the "two-minute rule," which encourages you to commit to a task for just two minutes. This small action builds momentum, reduces procrastination, and often leads to doing more than you initially planned. 2. Engineer Your Environment Your surroundings can either support or sabotage your goals. The hosts advise setting up your environment for success by removing distractions (like phone notifications or open computer tabs) and ensuring you have what you need to succeed. They use the example of a morning workout: laying out your clothes and sneakers the night before removes potential barriers and makes it easier to follow through on your plans. 3. Leverage Accountability and Consequences Finally, the hosts discuss the power of accountability. They explain that a consequence isn't always a punishment; it can be a positive or negative result that motivates you. By involving an accountability partner, you create a social consequence where you don't want to let someone down. They also suggest using a simple visual system, like a calendar or a hash mark on a wall, to track your progress. This "gamification" of your goals helps you stay consistent, as small, consistent actions are the key to long-term achievement.

We are happy to welcome Amanda Morin to the show this week! Amanda is a neurodivergent advocate for neurodiversity, an award-winning author of six books, an early childhood expert, and a nationally recognized speaker who is passionate about building accessible and inclusive spaces for neurodivergent people. Drawing on her background in learning and child development, Universal Design for Learning (UDL), special education, advocacy, and mental health, she translates complex information into clear, practical insights for parents, educators, and employers striving to design inclusive content, programs, and strategies that make the world more accessible for everyone. In our discussion today, Amanda unpacks the concept of "neurodiversity-affirming" schools - classrooms that go beyond just "including" neurodivergent students and instead actively celebrate and empower them. She explains how a neurodiversity-affirming approach involves letting go of rigid structures and control and instead creating flexible, "controlled chaos" environments in which all students can learn and thrive in the ways that work best for them, benefitting not just neurodivergent students but, again, all learners! Amanda also highlights the importance of using especially precise and affirming language, distinguishing between "neurodivergent" (those whose brains process information differently) and the broader "neurodiverse" (the natural diversity of all minds). She also discusses how naming and understanding differences, rather than avoiding them, can go a long way toward destigmatizing neurodivergence. Perhaps especially crucially, Amanda explores the "double empathy problem," the idea that communication challenges often stem from a two-way lack of understanding rather than just deficits in the neurodivergent individual, and she shares some practical strategies for bridging this gap, such as narrating facial expressions and using visual cues. As the new school year approaches, this conversation is sure to offer some invaluable insights for educators seeking to create truly inclusive, strengths-based classrooms that empower all students to do their best! Show Notes: [3:06] - Amanda Morin highlights moving beyond “inclusion” toward belonging, creating flexible, student-centered learning environments. [6:43] - Neurodiversity-affirming practices benefit all students by gradually rethinking classrooms to embrace every mind. [9:37] - Just like biodiversity, neurodiversity means different minds adapt uniquely but remain equally valid. [11:25] - Amanda explains neurodivergence as brain-environment interactions that require supportive accommodations. [13:21] - Stigma is a major barrier to neurodivergent students' mental health and persistence. [14:14] - Naming diagnoses openly helps students replace self-blame with understanding. [17:00] - Hiding diagnoses often leads children to form harmful, inaccurate stories about themselves. [18:24] - Amanda urges giving kids language to explain their struggles instead of adopting negative labels. [20:08] - Amanda touches upon the double empathy problem in which communication requires adjustment between neurodivergent and neuro-normative people. [23:44] - Teachers can model narrating emotions and expressions to reduce students' stress around social cues. [24:06] - Hear how Amanda uses a “battery activity” to help students visualize and communicate their energy levels. [27:12] - Amanda encourages urges describing behavior neutrally rather than judging it as “good” or “bad.” [30:13] - Hear how Amanda prefers “neuro-normative” over “neurotypical” because it avoids implying a single correct way of being. [32:37] - Amanda highlights a project reframing IEPs around strengths and motivation, not just deficits and skills gaps. [35:37] - Amanda encourages small classroom changes that affirm neurodivergent students' agency and sense of belonging. [37:52] - Amanda invites educators to connect!

In this Episode: n this episode of the Achieve Results NOW! podcast, hosts Mark Cardone and Theron Feidt debunk the "productivity myth," arguing that a long to-do list is not a sign of success. Instead, true productivity is about focusing on the right things and working smarter, not just longer. They outline a three-step approach to help listeners manage their time effectively and achieve meaningful results. Step 1: Embrace the 80/20 Rule The hosts introduce the 80/20 Rule (Pareto Principle), which states that 80% of your results come from 20% of your efforts. They emphasize the importance of identifying the few key activities that truly move the needle, rather than trying to complete every task on a list. By focusing on these high-impact tasks, you can make significant progress without being constantly "busy." Step 2: Utilize the Time Matrix Drawing on the work of Stephen Covey, they break down tasks into four quadrants: Urgent and Important: This is "firefighting" mode, and while necessary, staying here leads to burnout. Not Urgent and Not Important: This is time-wasting and should be minimized. Urgent and Not Important: This is where "busy work" and other people's priorities often fall, pulling you away from your own goals. Important and Not Urgent: This is the most crucial quadrant for long-term success. It includes planning, strategic thinking, and self-care. The hosts advise listeners to spend the majority of their time on these proactive activities to prevent future crises.   Step 3: Differentiate Between Deep Work and Shallow Work The final step is to distinguish between deep work (focused, high-concentration tasks) and shallow work (multitasking, less demanding activities). They stress the importance of scheduling time for deep work—the type of focused effort that moves you toward your goals. This means dedicating specific time blocks to important tasks without distractions, even if it's just for a short period each day.

In this Episode: In an episode of the Achieve Results NOW! podcast, hosts Mark Cardone and Theron Feidt share three steps to help listeners overcome self-doubt and accomplish their goals. They focus on conquering the small, day-to-day "can'ts" that often hold people back and derail their progress. Step 1: Reframe Your Thoughts and Language The hosts emphasize the importance of changing your internal monologue. Instead of focusing on why you "can't" do something, they encourage you to ask what evidence you have that you can't. They suggest replacing "I can't" with "I haven't yet," which shifts the mindset from impossibility to a future goal. This change in language, though it may sound simple, is crucial for turning a problem into a challenge. Step 2: Break Down Your Challenge The hosts advise breaking down large, overwhelming goals into smaller, more manageable steps. They use the example of a podcast. Starting a podcast may sound complicated, but the first step is simply to record for 15 minutes. This approach helps build momentum and makes a daunting task feel achievable. The idea is to take one small action today, which will eventually lead to bigger results. Step 3: Seek Inspiration The final step is to find inspiration from others who have overcome similar challenges. The hosts mention the story of Roger Bannister breaking the four-minute mile as an example of a mental barrier being shattered. They recommend reading biographies and autobiographies, listening to podcasts, and finding people who have already achieved what you want to do. Additionally, they suggest you don't skip the foundational steps when learning something new, even if they seem basic. Mastering these fundamentals is essential for long-term success.   ARN Suggested Reading: Blessings In the Bullshit: A Guided Journal for Finding the BEST In Every Day – by Mark Cardone & Theron Feidt https://www.amazon.com/Blessings-Bullshit-Guided-Journal-Finding/dp/B09FP35ZXX/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=blessings+in+the+bullshit&qid=1632233840&sr=8-1 Full List of Recommended Books: https://www.achieveresultsnow.com/readers-are-leaders Questions: 1.   Do you have a question you want answered in a future podcast? 2.   Go to www.AchieveResultsNow.com to submit.

In this Episode: In this episode of the "Achieve Results NOW!" podcast, hosts Mark Cardone and Theron Feidt discuss the critical role mistakes play in personal and professional growth. They explore the common reasons people make mistakes, from being on autopilot and self-sabotage to a lack of knowledge or an overinflated ego. The hosts argue that consistently making the same mistakes is a sign of a deeper issue, but making new mistakes is a sign of progress, as you are entering unknown territory. The podcast provides a three-step framework for effectively handling mistakes and using them as a tool for growth: 1. Own It Fast, Don't Fumble It The first and most crucial step is to take immediate ownership of the mistake. This means acknowledging what went wrong with complete honesty, both to yourself and others. The hosts emphasize avoiding excuses or blaming others, as this only makes the problem worse. By owning the mistake, you regain control, stop the emotional spiral, and gain the clarity needed to understand what happened. This step is about facing the issue directly without letting your ego get in the way. 2. Flip the Failure into Feedback Once you've owned the mistake, the next step is to transform it into a learning opportunity. The hosts advise listeners to ask, "What is this here to teach me?" They suggest objectively analyzing the mistake to identify its root cause. Was it due to a lack of planning, a skill gap, or simply rushing through the process? By pinpointing the cause, you can turn a negative experience into actionable feedback. This is about using the mistake as a steppingstone for future success. 3. Make a Comeback Plan The final step is to move from learning to action. The hosts stress that a comeback plan is not just about "trying again" but about strategic follow-through. Based on the feedback you gathered, you must define the next bold step and commit to it. This involves scheduling the action, putting it on your calendar, and following through. The hosts highlight that a mistake is not a dead end but part of a continuous loop of growth: you fix one mistake, learn from it, and then find another one to tackle as you continue to progress.

Joining us for this episode of Diverse Thinking Different Learning is Barbara Arrowsmith-Young! Barbara is a pioneering author and innovator in neuroeducation, known for applying neuroplasticity to improve cognitive function. Since 1978, her work has helped individuals with learning difficulties, brain injuries, addiction, and age-related decline, and it is now used worldwide. She shares her groundbreaking journey in her bestselling book The Woman Who Changed Her Brain and her TEDx talk, and continues advancing research as Director of the Arrowsmith program. In this episode of Diverse Thinking Different Learning, Barbara shares her deeply powerful journey of overcoming significant learning difficulties she faced from a young age. Growing up in the 1950s, Barbara was labeled as "slow" and was told by her teachers not to have high expectations for her academic future, but despite the challenges, her mother's determination and Barbara's resilience allowed her to learn how to read, write, and do basic math, although she continued to struggle with comprehension and processing language. As an adult, Barbara had an epiphany after reading the work of neuropsychologist Alexander Luria. She discovered that the root of her learning difficulties was due to specific areas of her brain that were underperforming, so inspired by research on neuroplasticity, she set out to create cognitive exercises that could strengthen those weaker brain regions. She reflects in this episode on how, to her amazement, the exercises led to a huge change in her cognitive abilities, allowing her to fully engage in conversations, understand complex concepts, and more. Barbara discusses how she was determined to share this life-changing approach,  founded the Arrowsmith School, and developed the Arrowsmith Program, which has now helped thousands of students around the world. She passionately advocates for integrating neuroscience and cognitive training into education, empowering all learners to enhance their brain's capacity and unlock their full potential. If you enjoy this episode, you will have the wonderful opportunity to learn more about Barbara's work during a live webinar on September 17th, 2025. Don't miss this chance to dive deeper into the power of neuroplasticity and how it can transform the lives of students who struggle with learning differences!

In this Episode: This episode of the "Achieve Results NOW!" podcast, hosted by Mark Cardone and Theron Feidt, is all about the power of preparation and planning. They argue that the common excuse "I don't have time to prepare" is a major cause of failure and frustration. Instead of wasting time on unfocused action, the hosts advocate for taking a few minutes to prepare, which ultimately leads to greater efficiency and success. The podcast outlines a three-step framework for embracing preparation to achieve "peak performance." Step 1: Anticipate Obstacles Before They Happen The hosts challenge the idea that anticipating problems is pessimistic. Instead, they frame it as a crucial part of a positive, proactive strategy. By creating a Plan B, C, or even D, you build confidence and resilience. This isn't about worrying; it's about being prepared for inevitable setbacks, whether it's a minor change to a class plan or a potential objection during a business meeting. This mindset ensures you're ready to adapt and won't be caught off guard. Step 2: Don't Get Bogged Down by Perfectionism The hosts identify perfectionism as a major killer of goals. They use the examples of a person not starting an exercise routine because they can't commit to three days a week, or an aspiring author who feels they don't have enough time. The key is to focus on progress, not perfection. They encourage listeners to take the "minimum viable action," such as writing just a title for a book, because "done is better than perfect." This approach helps overcome the inertia of starting and builds momentum over time. Step 3: Schedule Your Planning and Preparation Time This step emphasizes making planning a non-negotiable part of your routine. The hosts suggest scheduling time the night before to plan the next day, focusing on the "big rocks" or priorities that will move the needle. By intentionally blocking out time for your own goals (like exercise or personal development) first, you ensure they don't become an afterthought. This practice helps you stay in control of your life and avoid simply reacting to the demands of others.

We are very excited to welcome Jodi Gold, MD of The Gold Center to the show this week. Dr. Jodi Gold is a board-certified pediatric and adult psychiatrist with expertise in child and adolescent pharmacology, reproductive psychiatry, psychotherapy for mood and anxiety disorders, and the impact of digital technology. She has earned multiple awards from esteemed organizations, including NIMH and AACAP. From 2006 to 2012, she led the child and adolescent psychiatry outpatient department at Weill Cornell and has since taught and mentored at both Cornell and Columbia. Dr. Gold is also the author of the acclaimed book Screen-Smart Parenting, which offers guidance on balancing children's digital media use. While raising kids in a world full of tech can feel like a constant balancing act (especially when every headline warns of the harmful effects of digital overload), Dr. Gold offers a refreshing perspective on parenting in the digital age. Rather than prescribing rigid rules or causing/worsening parental anxiety, she advocates for a very thoughtful, flexible approach that stems from empathy, honesty, and consistency. Dr. Gold recontextualizes the conversation around screen time, encouraging parents to focus less on hours and more on habits. She stresses that the same principles that guide good parenting offline, such as structure and communication, apply online as well. What is most important, she argues, isn't perfect control but rather presence. Parents don't need to be tech experts to be effective; they just need to stay curious, open, and willing to engage with their kids' digital lives. Hear strategies for building trust and setting healthy boundaries that match each child's developmental stage and personality. Dr. Gold highlights the importance of understanding your own digital behaviors too, since kids are always watching and also often imitating what they see. From gaming and social media to group texts and YouTube spirals, this episode encourages parents to stay connected and involved without becoming overbearing or checked out. Show Notes: [2:25] - Dr. Jodi Gold argues that fear and shame get in the way of effective parenting, but staying engaged online and offline builds trust. [4:06] - Parents need to align tech rules with their own habits and use an authoritative but balanced parenting style. [7:10] - Dr. Gold encourages parents to follow their child's digital interests with curiosity and focus on resilience, not just restriction. [9:12] - Many parents understand school schedules but overlook how their kids use devices day-to-day. [11:18] - Knowing your child's social context can help you determine whether tech isolates or supports them. [14:09] - Dr. Gold points out how parents of younger kids tend to engage more with tech use. [16:16] - Tailoring tech rules to each child's needs is important, especially for children with ADHD and/or anxiety. [18:45] - Dr. Gold observes that kids today are fearless digital natives, so parents must stay present and observant even when not experts. [20:20] - How kids use tech is more important than how long; they need focus rather than just limits [21:58] - It's important to combine empathy with structure and to use tech as a reward. [24:53] - Parents should set honest limits around screen time without guilt, using structure and self-awareness. [26:49] - Dr. Gold believes that occasional screen use is okay; just be honest about your own usage, and stay involved in your child's life. [28:14] - Strong parent-child communication and self-awareness can help kids manage digital life and mental health. [31:21] - Parent the digital world the same way you parent offline - based on your values, not on fear.

In this Episode: On this episode of the "Achieve Results NOW!" podcast, hosts Mark Cardone and Theron Feidt discuss the importance of treating your brain like a muscle and fueling it for success. They argue that many common struggles in life are not due to external "weights," but rather from internal mindsets and limiting beliefs. By proactively managing the mind, listeners can overcome recurring problems and achieve better results. The podcast outlines three key steps for "fueling your mind for success." 1. Curate What You Consume This step is about actively managing the information you take in. The hosts emphasize that what you read, watch, and listen to directly impacts your mindset. Instead of passively consuming news or social media, they suggest you "stand guard at the door of your mind." They recommend prioritizing content that is inspirational and educational, such as books or videos about your career or personal development, because most people do not take the time to do so. 2. Surround Yourself with Excellence Your environment—both the people and the physical space—greatly influences your habits and mindset. The hosts advise listeners to be mindful of who they spend their time with, just as a good parent is mindful of their children's friends. They suggest seeking out communities and groups where people are positive, supportive, and striving for improvement. Additionally, they touch on the importance of maintaining a clean and organized physical environment, as clutter can be a source of stress and distraction. 3. Conquer FUD (Fears, Uncertainties, and Doubts) The final step focuses on the internal work needed to combat negative self-talk. FUD often arises when facing new or challenging situations. The hosts break down how to handle each one: Fear: Ask yourself if the potential outcome is life-threatening or illegal. If not, the fear is likely rooted in embarrassment or failure, which are manageable. Uncertainty: Combat this with proper preparation. Doing the necessary work beforehand builds confidence and reduces uncertainty. Doubt: Overcome doubt by building a track record of small successes. Each win, no matter how small, reinforces your belief in your ability to accomplish more.

In this Episode: This episode of the "Achieve Results NOW!" podcast, hosted by Mark Cardone and Theron Feidt, focuses on improving decision-making skills, whether for simple daily choices or complex life-altering ones. They emphasize that procrastination can kill momentum and hinder goals, highlighting the importance of making decisions quickly, even if it means failing faster and learning from the experience. The hosts delve into the concept of risk in decision-making, explaining that while you can manage and mitigate risk, you can never eliminate it. They caution against being too risk-averse, as a lack of growth can lead to stagnation, especially in business. They advocate for calculated risks and view failures as valuable learning opportunities. The podcast outlines three action steps to help listeners overcome decision paralysis and make better choices: Action Step 1: Set a Deadline (or Just Do It Now) The first crucial step is to decide on a timeline for when you will make your decision. For smaller, less impactful decisions, the hosts suggest simply making the choice immediately ("just do it"). For larger decisions, set a short, firm deadline and commit to it, perhaps even by communicating it to someone else. They emphasize that most people, like car buyers, procrastinate until the very last moment, and being honest about this tendency can help you make decisions more promptly. Action Step 2: Blend Intuition with Data This step focuses on combining your gut feelings (intuition) with factual information (data). The hosts explain that intuition can be considered a form of data, often developed through experience, and can be trained like a skill. However, they caution against relying solely on external data sources like the internet, which can provide conflicting information (e.g., "blueberries are healthy" vs. "blueberries are deadly"). Instead, they suggest using data to support and refine your initial gut feeling, rather than using it to determine what you should do from scratch. Action Step 3: Get Over the Fear of Making the Wrong Choice The final step is to conquer the fear of making a mistake. The hosts stress that there's rarely only one "right" answer, and most decisions, unless they involve severe consequences like death or prison, are simply part of your life's journey and learning process. They encourage listeners to embrace imperfect outcomes, learn from any "losses" or less-than-ideal results, and move forward. They differentiate between minor daily decisions (e.g., what to eat) and major life choices (e.g., choosing a spouse, buying a house), acknowledging that the latter warrant more thoughtful consideration and compromise. The podcast concludes by reiterating that every decision is a learning opportunity and encourages listeners to embrace a mindset of learning and growth, even from less-than-perfect outcomes.

In this Episode: In this episode of the "Achieve Results NOW!" podcast, hosts Mark Cardone and Theron Feidt welcome back Barb Stone, an entrepreneur, leadership development coach, trainer, speaker, and now an author and TEDx speaker. They discuss Barb's journey since her last appearance on the podcast four years ago, highlighting her significant professional growth. Barb shares her background, starting with 25 years as a senior female leader in manufacturing after earning her MBA. Despite her success, she felt a desire for "more" than just climbing the corporate ladder. This led her to a journey of self-discovery, studying resiliency and positive psychology, getting involved with John Maxwell, and eventually becoming a leadership coach. She emphasizes that her motivation to become a coach stemmed from her own challenging journey as a first-generation American of Polish descent, wishing she had a guide earlier in her life. The conversation then shifts to Barb's new book, "So Much to Drool About: Lessons for Living Large," which combines her coaching wisdom with her passion for Great Danes. She explains how the idea for the book was planted by a client in 2020 and how it evolved into a collection of inspirational stories, each accompanied by an illustration and a wisdom statement. Barb stresses the importance of following one's passion, even if the profitability isn't immediately clear, noting that the book is an investment in herself and a way to share her message. She believes that when you commit to your passion, opportunities will arise, such as speaking engagements and partnerships.  Barb also discusses her target audience for the book, stating it's for anyone from four to 104 years old who seeks inspiration or loves animals. She shares her experience visiting an elementary school to discuss social-emotional learning using her book, demonstrating its broad appeal. She emphasizes that the book's creation process itself, with its many iterations and challenges, mirrors the life lessons it teaches about growth and perseverance. A key takeaway from the discussion is Barb's belief in "leading ourselves first," and how life can "happen through us" when we share our wisdom and experiences to help others. She encourages listeners to "follow the breadcrumbs"—the small signs and opportunities that appear along one's path, especially for aspiring entrepreneurs. To find out more about Barb Stone and her book, listeners are directed to her website, Barbstone.me, where they can purchase the book, sign up for newsletters, and find links to her social media profiles. The hosts commend Barb for her bravery in pursuing her passions and putting her work out into the world Barb Stone Bio: Barbara Stone is a Syracuse, NY-based Entrepreneur, Author, Leadership Development Coach, Trainer, and Speaker, dedicated to empowering individuals to define and achieve their authentic version of success. Her journey is marked by resilience and a passion for helping others.  After a distinguished 25-year career in senior leadership roles within manufacturing, including Executive Vice President and CFO, Barb realized she was living someone else's definition of success. This led her to an intensive study of resilience and positive psychology, understanding that true opportunities are created, not accidental.  In 2018, Barb launched Build Your Path LLC. As a leadership development coach, she now passionately guides individuals, teams, and boards to discover their authentic selves and build a life that truly reflects who they are, challenging the notion that "looking good and getting it right" should lead to performance anxiety. Her personal journey, including overcoming challenges like alopecia and the unexpected loss of her first husband, Bob, has further deepened her commitment to resilience and personal growth.  Complementing her coaching and speaking, Barb is the author of her first book, "So Much to Drool About: Lessons for Living Large," published in April of 2025.

We have not just one but two guests for you this week - Dr. Steve Truch and Devan Kublik! Steve has over 50 years of experience in education, beginning as a junior high school English teacher and then working as a school psychologist, ultimately founding The Reading Foundation clinics across North America to provide one-on-one therapy for students with learning difficulties. He is the primary author of the Discover educational programs used at the clinics and has written several books and articles on reading and cognitive assessment. His work reflects a continued commitment to aligning educational methods with current research, particularly in the science of reading. Devan Kublik holds a Bachelor of Arts in Linguistics and has been with The Reading Foundation since 1999, currently serving as Director of Standards across all locations. She has held leadership roles in multiple clinics and has contributed to nearly every aspect of the organization, including training, program development, and student assessment. Outside of work, she enjoys traveling, reading, and mountain activities. In our conversation, we discuss the issue of reading proficiency among U.S. students, where only 35% of 4th graders are considered proficient readers. We explore how reading instruction methods have changed and evolved over time, from the whole language method to the current emphasis on the science of reading and phonics. Dr. Truch explains how the speech-to-print method, focusing on teaching the phonemic structure of words and their corresponding visual representations, can be a more effective way to help students learn to read. Devan also highlights the importance of "dosage” (the intensity and duration of intervention) in speeding along the process, especially during the summer when students are not constrained by the school schedule. She shares how the Reading Foundation's programs offer individualized and immersive instruction customized to each student's unique needs, often leading to remarkable changes in their confidence and academic performance. Devan and Dr. Truch stress that while reading instruction has been a longstanding challenge for the education system, solutions that are backed by research are available, and that the key is connecting families with the right resources to help their children overcome reading difficulties and unlock their full potential. So, whether your child is a reluctant reader or has faced persistent challenges, this episode offers valuable insights and a glimmer of hope.   Show Notes: [2:55] - Dr. Truch argues that teaching methods for reading often ignore science and harm struggling learners. [5:20] - Traditional phonics rules are inconsistent, but speech-to-print offers a more logical alternative. [8:49] - Dr. Truch adds that teaching children sound-to-spelling connections can lead to better results than relying on abstract rules. [12:11] - Summer can accelerate reading gains for struggling students via structured but individualized intervention. [15:46] - Proper intervention speeds along progress, especially when it is intensive, customized, and monitored. [18:04] - Summer also allows for customized literacy support based on a student's specific needs. [19:14] - Dr. Truch points out how effective reading intervention depends on both program dosage and using the correct method. [21:37] - Untreated reading struggles often leave lasting emotional damage, sometimes even resembling symptoms of PTSD. [23:29] - When parents lack the training to lead interventions, both they and the children can get frustrated. [25:45] - Rapid emotional changes happen once children experience early success via reading intervention. [27:24] - Early, focused instruction can boost lifelong success for struggling readers, as is backed by data and expert recognition. [30:01] - Hear how, with the right tools, one shy girl gained confidence and began reading aloud at school. [32:17] - Dr. Truch explains how targeted assessments can help pinpoint delays.

We are happy to welcome Ashley Harding to the podcast this episode. Ashley is a fourth-generation educator and is deeply committed to educational equity. She holds degrees from USC and Tufts University in Child Development, and her career spans more than a decade, during which she has supported students and families in private and independent schools and contributed to global education initiatives in South Africa and Belize. Formerly the Director of External Engagement for a national school network, she has co-authored research on disparities affecting Black and Latino males and has been featured in The Wall Street Journal. Through her organization, North Star Academics, and her roles with BEAN and CHADD, Ashley empowers students with evidence-based strategies and advocates for those with learning differences. Ashley discusses how parents can reframe the summer from a "deficit mindset" to an "opportunity mindset" for their children, stressing the importance of balance and allowing students time for rest, rejuvenation, and exploration of their interests outside of academics. She explains that while academic growth is incredibly important during the school year, the summer months provide a critical window for students to develop their identity, independence, and executive functioning skills, and she encourages parents to avoid overwhelming children with intensive academic programs and instead focus on activities that build upon confidence, self-reflection, and a sense of belonging. Our conversation highlights the need for families (both parents and students) to take time for rest and reconnection over the summer, with Ashley suggesting a plan that gradually transitions from unstructured free time in June to more purposeful activities in July and August, such as previewing curriculum, reviewing foundational skills, and setting new goals for the upcoming school year. We also discuss the importance of real-world learning experiences such as cooking, budgeting, and travel, which can naturally reinforce academic concepts while also nurturing executive functioning abilities. Ashley stresses the importance of allowing children, especially older ones, the freedom to explore their interests and discover their passions during the summer months. This episode of the show provides a thoughtful and balanced approach to supporting students' overall development during the summer break, with a focus on building upon resilience, independence, and a renewed sense of purpose for the next academic year! Show Notes: [3:03] - Ashley Harding highlights summer as a time for rest and emotional integration after academic growth. [5:53] - Ashley points out how colleges tend to value well-roundedness, which begins with developing personal interests as early as middle school. [8:12] - Especially post-COVID, students and families need rest to recover from years of ongoing emotional exhaustion. [10:27] - Ashley believes that June should involve winding down, celebrating growth, and gently preparing for the next school year. [13:10] - Immediate academic intensity post-school year can overwhelm neurodivergent kids in need of rest. [14:20] - Ashley urges families to teach kids balance by allowing rest as an act of resistance. [17:02] - Summer is such an important time for families to rest, reconnect, and nurture mental health together. [18:12] - Children ultimately model behavior from parents, so truly resting teaches them balance over productivity. [22:14] - Ashley argues that fun, low-pressure activities such as cooking can help kids grasp and retain math concepts more effectively. [24:17] - Ashley likes reminding families to do as much real-world, practical learning as possible. [27:37] - Kids may need more sleep and rest, but they do still benefit from consistent routine and structure. [29:20] - Summer offers kids space for self-reflection and growth beyond just grades and academic pressure. [31:35] - Ashley points out how summer is ideal for reinforcing key executive functioning skills like memory, time management, and planning. [33:36] - Allowing kids to self-monitor can help build confidence and resilience. [36:44] - Unstructured time helps parents rediscover their children and builds upon a deeper sense of belonging at home. [39:23] - Summer is such a gift because it offers time to reconnect, regroup, and learn more about your growing child!

What is the best way to practice for your standardized test? It seems like a simple and straightforward question, but in reality there are a lot of different ways to structure your study sessions. The two most effective are block training, where you focus on one topic at a time until you master it, and random training, where you work on multiple disciplines within the same practice session. Is one method more effective than the other for your test-day results?In this episode, Brett sheds light on this important question by relating insights from an NBA assistant coach, who has seen how block vs. random practice plays out on game day at the highest levels of athletic performance. Brett delineates key differences between block and random practice and explains that each has a different objective, and that they need to work together to build toward maximizing your test-day performance. Brett explains precisely how to balance block and random practice as you progress in your test preparation and shares an important tip for effective time management as well.Your study sessions should be intentional and follow a proven methodology that produces results. By the end of this episode, you'll have a better understanding of what that looks like and how to implement it.RESOURCES / LINKSArticle: Ideal Pacing Strategy for the Executive AssessmentVideo: The Learning Curve of Testing Mastery - When to Expect Breakthrough!SIMILAR EPISODESIf you enjoyed this episode, we encourage you to check out these other similar episodes of The Dominate Test Prep Podcast:Episode 56: How to Use Practice Test (and What to Avoid!), with Vinay NarangEpisode 52: 5 Tips for Staying Consistent with Your StudyingEpisode 40: Proven Principles of Perfect Practice, with Mike BerginA DOSE OF MOTIVATION"Talent is cheaper than table salt.

Over the weekend you saw the headlines as Israel struck Iran in a surprise attack after negotiations over Iran's supposed nuclear program broke down. For Israel, Iran poses an existential threat if they develop nuclear capabilities, while Iran views Israel as an illegitimate state and stands in solidarity with the Mohammedans occupying Palestine. This conflict has been raging since 1979, and Friday's escalation is merely the next chapter in an ancient blood feud.But more than Israel fears Iran's nuclear capabilities, Israel fears losing the support of the West. Support for Israel has been decline since October 7th, 2023. Younger evangelicals are more indifferent and nationalists sentiments against foreign aid have already stranded Ukraine just 5 months into Trump's presidency. With the exception of their intelligence operations, Israel's military is relatively small and underpowered. In short, they desperately need the US and the EU to see their war against Iran as justified and for them to join the fray.And so, President Donald Trump is facing the most important test of his presidency. The Middle East is the graveyard of kingdoms. 20 years and $3 trillion dollars failed achieve a stable government in Iraq. If we are dragged into another war the benefits will be practically negligible for us, and the downsides almost infinite. Will Trump rip the bandaid off and make the US be done playing international peacemaker?This episode is brought to you by our premier sponsors, Armored Republic and Reece Fund, as well as our Patreon members and donors.
