After five book launches, Kelly is convinced: a book launch is the single best strategy on the planet for growing a business. And she's about to attempt her biggest one yet.

A bipartisan group of secretaries of state is warning that the federal government may no longer be a reliable hub for election threat information, according to an internal memo shared exclusively with USA TODAY. The concern is that state officials will no longer have access to the kind of real-time cyber and physical threats that only the federal government can provide. USA TODAY Senior National News Reporter Sarah Wire joins The Excerpt to explain what the memo says, why states are trying to fill the gaps themselves and what this could mean for November's midterms.Let us know what you think of this episode by sending an email to podcasts@usatoday.com.

Consistency and patience often matter more than short-term results. Authenticity is one of the most valuable assets a creator can have. Audiences connect with genuine passion far more than content designed solely to perform well. Building a community creates opportunities beyond content creation, including brand partnerships, consulting, products, subscriptions, and publishing deals. Notable Quotes "You can pretty much turn any passion that you have into some sort of at least side hustle to make money." "If you feel like you're forcing something or being performative because you think it's going to do well, people can see right through it."

Sean Combs's name reportedly appears seventy-seven times in the court filings surrounding Tupac Shakur's murder. Across every alias, every legal document connected to the case against Keefe D, the references keep surfacing. A recorded 2008 police interview. A 2009 follow-up with Las Vegas detectives. A 2025 DEA document obtained by USA Today. A Netflix documentary that put the million-dollar bounty allegation back on screen for millions of viewers. Combs has denied involvement forcefully and consistently. Law enforcement said in 2024 he was never a suspect in the case.None of that has stopped the allegation from growing louder. And now Keefe D's defense team wants Combs in the courtroom — not as a defendant, but as their own witness. The strategy is to have Combs deny the bounty under oath, proving Keefe D fabricated the entire story. If the jury buys that Keefe D lied about Combs, the defense argues, they should believe he lied about every confession the prosecution is using to build its case.The criminal trial is set for August 10. Keefe D has no current attorney after his latest lawyer withdrew in March. Every pretrial motion the defense has filed has been denied. A petition at the Nevada Supreme Court represents the last chance to derail the prosecution before a jury is seated. Meanwhile, Tupac's stepbrother Mopreme Shakur has filed a wrongful death lawsuit naming one hundred unnamed co-conspirators and requesting broad discovery powers. Tupac would be fifty-five. Tony Brueski walks through the case, the allegations, and what happens when a man who cannot stop talking finally faces a jury.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Being Alone Isn’t Helping Your Business or You We live in the most connected era in human history, and somehow, we have never been more alone. That paradox is the beating heart of Unknown: Finding Connection in a Disconnected World, the USA Today bestseller from leadership coach and New Hope Church founder Keith Spurgin. After years of advising leaders across North America, Europe, and Africa, Spurgin kept hearing the same quiet confession over and over: “I'm surrounded by people, but I feel completely alone.” Today on A New Direction, he joins us live to talk about why that ache of aloneness shows up everywhere — in marriages, in friendships, and especially in the lives of the leaders we assume have it all figured out.  We can have great success and still be totally alone.  And What makes this conversation different is that Spurgin isn't speaking from a podium. He's speaking from the night his wife told him it felt like he had “a mistress” — not another person, but his work, his calling, and his reputation, all of which had quietly crowded her out. It rocked his world, and it took years to rebuild. Thirty-eight years of marriage later, he's living proof that disconnection doesn't have to be the end of the story. That honesty is exactly why readers keep saying this book “reflects my own life” and “is going to change my life” — and it's why this episode is going to hit closer to home than you expect. For leaders, the stakes are even higher. You can build a brilliant strategy, hit every number, and still be running a team of people who don't actually know each other — or you. You feel everything falls on you…and you are alone at the top. Spurgin argues that healthy culture isn't built on performance; it's built on genuine connection, and most of us were never taught how to create it. In this conversation he lays out the practical road map at the core of Unknown: how to move relationships from lifeless and transactional to vibrant and real, and how the leaders who master this end up building teams people never want to leave. If you've ever wondered why your organization feels busy but hollow, this is the missing piece. Keith Spurgin‘s book, “Unknown: Finding Connection in a Disconnected World” is an honest, insightful look into the epidemic that is growing around the world.  Being alone and being “unknown”.  The fact of the matter is that being alone and loneliness is growing and no one is talking about it.  Yes are we more technologically connected…sure.  But what we are truly build and designed for is 3-dimensional human connection, and without it according to research comes a number of physical problems with a shorter life span. Keith Spurgin, doesn’t pull any punches in Unknown.  He is vulnerable with his own shortcomings.  He is honest with where he has missed the mark and how in some cases he recovered and others, he did not.  He helps us to understand that having these truly connected deep relationships enhances our lives as not only leaders, but as people.  The problem that most of us face is that we are all broken people and relationships are not easy. Many people believe that they don’t need people.  They have convinced themselves of the lie that they are independent, and life is safer without the complications.  However, what we learn is that even the most independent of us still will try to have relationships, but we bounce from one to another, so we don’t get hurt.  We ultimately fall into the relationship pain cycle. For leaders it is more difficult.  Many have made the choice that being alone is the price to pay for being on top.  Spurgin explains that it’s not the best we to lead.  We are only mediocre at best when we go it alone.  And you can’t go from good to great when you are satisfied with mediocrity. The book takes through some practical steps we all need to consider, because it is not just having great relationships we must choose wisely.  Because you should know that the deeper relationships you have, have your back.  They are the ones who can listen without judgement and yet can call you out when you have gone off the rails.  Does it take time?  Of course it does.  You may say you don’t have the time.  But who’s choice is that? At the end of the day, we come to learn a couple of important factors from Unknown: First, we need relationships to make us better.  Second, love (not in the movie version) of your closest friends changes the landscape of being alone.  And three, we are all broken people, and so relationships require work, vulnerability, forgiveness, and reconciliation.  It’s not easy, but as with anything else, it is the hard things that are worth it.  I highly recommend “Unknown“ Get your copy of Unknown by clicking here.  Make sure you're subscribed to the podcast so this one lands in your feed.

ABOUT YOUR HOST Meet Jay Izso Executive Performance Coach  |  Host of A New Direction Every week on A New Direction, I sit down with CEOs, founders, and the researchers behind the science of leadership performance. The conversations go deep. We talk about the decisions that built companies, the mistakes that nearly destroyed them, and the personal breakthroughs that changed everything. But here's what most people don't know about me: the show is an extension of the work I do every day with executives behind closed doors. Who I Am I'm an Executive Performance Coach. I work with CEOs and founders of $5M-$50M companies who have hit a wall they can't explain. The marketing looks fine. The team is capable. The market is there. But the business won't move. The problem, almost every time, is the person running it. I find the personal behavioral patterns that are driving the business dysfunction. Then I help the CEO disrupt those patterns so the company can grow. That's it. No motivational platitudes. No vision boards. Diagnostics, intervention, results. Where This Comes From My approach comes from two places most coaches never set foot in. The farm. I grew up as a farmhand in Ithaca, Nebraska—population 100. I started working at nine years old. By the time I left for college, I'd spent a decade learning that you can't cheat the harvest, pain is part of the job, and the work has to get done whether you feel like it or not. I was fourteen the first time I had to castrate boars. Nobody was going to do it for me. That lesson never left: sometimes you have to do things afraid. The forensic psychology unit. In graduate school at Washington State University, I trained under Dr. Thomas Brigham—co-author of the Handbook of Applied Behavior Analysis—in a human behavior lab focused on real-world problems. I then served in a Clinical Psych II role at Eastern State Hospital in Medical Lake, Washington, a forensic setting where I conducted psychological evaluations of individuals charged with the most serious criminal offenses. Sixteen months assessing human behavior at its most extreme taught me how to cut through defenses, identify what's really driving someone's decisions, and see what they can't see in themselves.

It was a pleasure to speak with Jessica and listen as she shared  all that she experienced as a high school drop out and single mother with a husband behind bars.   This major turning point in her life,  motivated her to complete her GED as well as complete college and law school, with honors, in order to help those similarly unfamiliar with the way the criminal justice system works.  When you hear the compelling stories about both  Jessica and her mother, you'll say, 'the fruit doesn't fall far from the tree.'   Both women have been working tirelessly for decades in order to educate victims and their family members,  as well as inform  society to be more compassionate and aware and to update the parole and probation system. Resilience is one of the words that Jessica uses over and over again when describing her mother Maria who is originally from  Stockholm, Sweden.  Jessica also describes her mom as "a pioneer in her field." Very early on in the AIDS epidemic, Maria was involved with helping patients and their families maneuver the scary waters of a frightening disease.  While in graduate school, Maria brought her days old daughter Jessica with her to class.  Jessica went where ever her mother took her, to HIV/Aids conferences, seminars, etc. "She showed us"  says Jessica, when referring to her mother, "by her actions, not her words, on how to live life." Jessica was adamant about how her mom had a "show them, don't tell them" philosophy about life. In other words, Maria was an  example by her actions, not her words. Jessica reflects, "I never once saw my mom give up." Again, the parallels between mother and daughter are striking, Maria working with HIV/AIDS patients and Jessica with people in prison. Again, those whose lives were turned upside down, found a smart, caring and devoted women to make a difference in these unfortunate individuals lives. When Kim Kardashian West wanted tutoring in law once aware of wrongfully incarcerated first time offenders, she went to Jessica Jackson for help.  On November 29, 2019, USA Today wrote "Kim Kardashian West came on board with the campaign after she heard about Alice Marie Johnson, a grandmother who had served 21 years of a life sentence for her first-ever drug conviction, and was moved to help. Kardashian West was instrumental in convincing Trump to grant Johnson clemency. "  That's just one of thousands of cases that Jackson has had overturned and continues to fight in order to get families back together under one roof. Both of these women with all that they have accomplished and continue  to accomplish is living proof that if you set your mind to something, anything and everything is possible. As Maria said to her daughter "you can do anything, you can achieve anything, if you work hard enough."    REFORM Alliance Mission Statement: REFORM Alliance aims to transform probation and parole by changing laws, systems and culture to create real pathways to work and wellbeing. A justice system that holds people accountable and redirects back to work and wellbeing leads to stronger families and safer communities. Instead of keeping people trapped in a revolving door from probation/parole to prison — which costs taxpayers billions of dollars — we're working to move people from the justice system into stability.  History REFORM's story starts with the unjust re-imprisonment of recording artist Meek Mill. The shocking two-to-four year sentence he received for popping a wheelie spurred the international #FreeMeek movement, which led to release on bail and eventually his freedom. Although Meek had the resources and public platform to fight his case, his case is only one of millions.

As the Founder and CEO of Objects with Purpose, an eco-luxury candle brand featured in the Oscar Swag Bag, The Today Show, HGTV Frontdoor, USA Today, The New York Times Magazine, and carried in over 200 stores nationwide, Ianthe shares the journey of building a purpose-driven brand while staying true to herself.The conversation goes far beyond business, diving into Ianthe's upbringing surrounded by accomplished musicians and intellectuals, including her father's connection to legendary composer Leonard Bernstein. She reflects on being raised by deeply loving parents, the impact that foundation had on her life, and why gratitude, love, and light remain the guiding principles behind everything she does. Ianthe also opens up about her lifelong passion for acting, the realities of Hollywood, and the difficult decision to walk away from an industry that often treated artists as products rather than storytellers.Throughout the episode, Ianthe shares powerful lessons on authenticity, resilience, creativity, and embracing a life that doesn't fit into a single box. She discusses balancing entrepreneurship with motherhood, becoming a creator with purpose, and why following your own path—rather than conforming to expectations—can lead to the most meaningful success.

The way to win in business is to stay in business long enough to win. And the way to stay in business long enough to win is to love what you are doing and have a sustainable, repeatable model.

Keep winning! Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Dr. Alison Vaughn. International speaker, author, and CEO/founder of Jackets for Jobs, a Detroit-based nonprofit that, for over 26 years, has provided professional attire and career training to more than 40,000 job seekers. Rushion McDonald leads a deep-dive conversation into her origin story, faith-driven entrepreneurship, struggles, workforce development, women’s empowerment, and the profound human stories behind her mission. Purpose of the Interview The interview aims to: 1. Inspire entrepreneurs and community leaders By showing how faith, persistence, and purpose can build a 26‑year nonprofit that changes lives. 2. Highlight the importance of appearance and confidence in employment Vaughn explains how professional attire boosts self‑esteem and job‑seeker success. 3. Showcase the impact of Jackets for Jobs and encourage public support She explains donation needs, especially professional clothing and plus‑size attire. 4. Educate listeners about workforce development and women’s empowerment She outlines common barriers job seekers face and how proper support transforms families and communities. Key Takeaways 1. The “Catch‑22” That Sparked Her Mission Job seekers often lack professional clothing. Without clothing, they can’t get interviews; without interviews, they can’t get jobs. Jackets for Jobs was built to break that cycle. 2. Faith Was the Foundation Vaughn repeatedly attributes her longevity to divine guidance—leaving a career at United Airlines to follow a vision she didn’t fully understand at the time.“I stepped out on faith… God gave me the vision. 3. Longevity: 26 Years in a Tough Sector With most small businesses lasting 5–10 years, surviving 26 years—especially as a nonprofit—is extraordinary.Over 40,000 job seekers have been served. 4. Self-Education in Entrepreneurship With limited internet 26 years ago, she learned business through library books, including Grant Writing for Dummies and other “Dummies” titles.Her story was later featured in the Detroit News and USA Today, and the Dummies publishers even sent her books. 5. Workforce Development Explained Workforce development means helping unemployed residents gain jobs and stability—critical in Detroit, where unemployment has historically been high. 6. Women’s Empowerment: Changing Mindsets She noticed many women on government assistance had low confidence or relied on men financially.She wrote “Ms. Goal Digger, Not Gold Digger” to teach self-sufficiency, financial independence, and professional self-presentation. 7. Appearance = Confidence = Currency Professional attire changes posture, self-worth, and interview success.Clients leave “with a pep in their step,” she says. 8. The Emotional Toll and Motivation She recalls stories of clients who: survived sex trafficking, were sleeping in cars, struggled with multiple children and no resources, or rode the bus with infants in freezing weather. These moments keep her going but also weigh heavily.She emphasizes hiring staff who have compassion and resist judgment.] 9. Entrepreneurship vs. 9–5 Reality Entrepreneurship is “24/7,” especially in nonprofits where money must be accounted for with precision.People don’t just give to a cause—they give to a leader they trust. 10. Success Defined While she has celebrated major achievements like ringing the NASDAQ closing bell twice, she says real success is:“When someone unemployed calls me and tells me they have a job.”. Notable Quotes (All from Transcript) On Founding Her Nonprofit “I stepped out on faith… God gave me the vision.”. “If you didn’t have an outfit for an interview, you didn’t go… It was a catch‑22.”. On Longevity “To be able to say I have lasted 26 years… that’s a testimony in itself.” On Confidence “Confidence is currency.”. “Their posture is different… that’s why they’re going to get that job.”. On Entrepreneurship “If you want to start a nonprofit, be prepared for 24/7 and a lot of paperwork.”. “There’s a difference between day wear and date wear.” “I want you to change your mindset.”.

I ask the questions you'd want answered.What you'll learn:Whether "quantum energy" is woo-woo or actually rooted in real physics (and what the 2022 Nobel Prize did and didn't prove)Why some people wonder whether everyday EMF from phones, cars, and AirPods affects how they feel, and what the open questions areWhat Todd says his company's own testing looks at, like HRV.How sleep and brain fog in perimenopause relate to the nervous system, as general educationThe honest questions to ask before you spend money on any "energy" wellness productChapters:0:00 Is Quantum Energy Woo Woo?

If your mind starts spinning the second your head hits the pillow, replaying the conversation you had at lunch and rehearsing the one you have to have tomorrow, I want to tell you something that genuinely surprised me. Sometimes the goal is not to get rid of your anxiety at all. In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Chloe Carmichael, the clinical psychologist and USA Today bestselling author of Nervous Energy, who taught me to treat anxiety as a signal rather than a malfunction. Dr. Chloe and I work through how to tell the worry that is worth listening to from the kind that just loops, and then we go somewhere I did not expect, into why holding everything in might be quietly making your anxiety worse. In This Episode Why trying to get rid of your anxiety can backfire, and the single question to ask it instead The mind map exercise for the kind of worry you cannot quite put your finger on How to tell healthy fear from overthinking that just spins in circles The eight Diet Cokes story that changed how I check for anxiety, because the body comes first Why holding things in actually creates more anxiety instead of less The difference between self censorship and healthy self restraint, and a simple way to spot which one you are doing What to do when you finally speak up and it does not go well, including a tool Dr. Chloe calls the debrief date What the friendship between two famously opposite Supreme Court justices teaches us about staying close to people we disagree with This episode is for anyone who has ever laid awake at 2am with a brain that simply would not power down, then dragged through the next day exhausted and wired at the same time. It is also for you if you have ever smiled and nodded along with something you did not believe, and walked away feeling a little smaller for it. Anxiety and authenticity are far more connected than most of us realize. This conversation is about both, and about how getting a grip on one quietly helps you with the other.

In this interview I talked with the Senator from Wisconsin, Ron Johnson. We discussed his bombshell report called, Unmasked: How Biden Health Officials Purposely Turned a Blind Eye Toward COVID-19 Vaccine Safety Signals. In this report, Senator Johnson and his team reveals that many people within the FDA and HHS, among other governmental organizations, knew that the COVID-19 vaccines were linked to strokes and even death as early as 2021. Senator Johnson's team found conclusive evidence that the United States Government, the majority of American media companies, and the monopolistic Pharmaceutical Companies worked together to suppress the truth about the Vaccines and, in turn, killed thousands of innocent American citizens. For being one of the most significant reports in modern history, you would think that this story would be on the front page of every major news network and newspaper in America – you would be wrong. Senator Johnson sent his own Op-Ed regarding this report to The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, USA Today, and many other publications and, to nobodies surprise, he was turned down for publication. We think this had something to do with the fact that many, if not all, of these news companies are sponsored by Pfizer or Moderna and would rather keep in good standing with their financiers than tell the American people the truth about what happened during the COVID-19 Pandemic. We, at The Paradox Press, are not beholden to the Medical Mafia and for that reason, we have the ability to tell the truth. I hope you enjoy.

We are surrounded by a culture that stigmatizes aging and ignores the older members of our communities. But aging is a process just like any other that deserves love, support, and respect. No one can avoid aging. So, how can we be supported and live the life we deserve at every age?In this episode of Faith Talks, Jennifer R. Farmer sits down with Karen Walrond to discuss how we can prioritize love and care as we age.

Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard declassified records of US government funding for more than 120 biolabs across over 30 countries, including more than 40 in Ukraine handling dangerous pathogens like anthrax, plague, and Ebola – facts the media spent years dismissing as conspiracy theories. In 2022, USA Today called the US-funded Ukraine bioweapon lab claims “false,” CBC labeled them a “QAnon conspiracy theory” and NBC News framed the story as “misinformation” that US officials “vehemently denied” — the same labs Gabbard's office now says were real all along. Dr. Drew is joined by Emmy-winning producer and author Rob Rosen to examine why what gets left out of the news can distort the truth as much as what gets said. Rosen, author of “Crimes of Omission,” argues that media bias is driven less by what reporters say than by what they choose to omit. He and Dr. Drew tie the Gabbard disclosures to Senator Rand Paul's committee findings on US funding tied to SARS-CoV-2 research and Senator Ron Johnson's work on what health agencies knew about vaccine safety signals, and asks why almost none of it reaches the evening news. Political theorist Dr. Ralph Schoellhammer of the Mathias Corvinus Collegium in Budapest breaks down the unrest in Belfast, the fight over flags during the World Cup, and the deepening fractures inside Europe over migration policy. 2023 CNN Hero Yasmine Arrington Brooks discusses her nonprofit work supporting the children of incarcerated parents. Rob Rosen is an Emmy-winning producer, director, and author.

America spends a lot of time talking about age in politics: how old is too old to lead, whether younger candidates are getting shut out, and if members of Congress should have term limits. But Yale law and history Professor Samuel Moyn says that conversation misses the bigger picture. In his new book, “Gerontocracy in America: How the Old Are Hoarding Power and Wealth – and What to Do About It,” Samuel argues that power in the U.S. skews older not just because some politicians stay in office for decades, but because older Americans vote at higher rates, hold more wealth and remain in positions of influence longer. Samuel joins USA TODAY's The Excerpt to talk about his new book and what studying gerontocracy might teach us.Let us know what you think of this episode by sending an email to podcasts@usatoday.com.Episode transcript available here.

Everyone starts the year fired up about the big goal, the big vision, the big dream... and then life happens. A team member leaves, the market shifts, your funnel breaks, you lose access to a social platform you spent years building, the product you built the whole year around stops selling.  In this week's solo episode of The Kelly Roach Show,Kelly walks through five critical steps to lock in and create the big finish you've been hoping for. She lays out the full system and how to run a weekly gap audit so you can see your progress in black and white and adjust. Threaded through all of it is her core conviction: most businesses don't have a sales problem, they have a consistency problem. They're doing random acts of sales instead of running a system.  The tide is turning, people are buying again, and there's still enough time to end the year with a massive celebration if you lock in now. In this episode: Why the year tends to turn sideways, and how to reset at the mid-year inflection point The question to ask yourself that matters more than your goal The AI-era fork: go all iin on technology or allin on analog, community led growth Why consistent communication is the real driver of team performance Timestamps 00:30 — The back-half reset: five steps for the big finish 02:45 — The mid-year inflection point and the summer focus trap 04:00 — The real question: what do you really want? 05:15 — The AI fork: all-in on tech, or all-in on analog and community-led growth 06:15 — Check your heart: is this goal truly yours, or is it FOMO? 11:00 — Why Kelly still does the Miracle Hour with her team Resources & Mentions Grab The Unstoppable Planner: Kelly's planning tool for reverse-engineering a big goal into milestones and weekly rhythm: https://unstoppableplanner.myshopify.com/products/2026-unstoppable-planner  Grab your copy of the USA Today best-selling book The Miracle Hour, and learn the daily sales practice Kelly runs with her team every day: https://a.co/d/0e8bEbpZ  Subscribe to Kelly's Substack: https://kellyroachofficial.substack.com/subscribe  Follow on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kellyroachofficial  Connect on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kellyroachint/ 

National Review Senior Editor Charles C.W. Cooke, who also hosts the Charles C.W. Cooke Podcast, fills in for Jim on the Monday 3 Martini Lunch. Join Charlie and Greg as they react to the left's meltdown over Elon Musk becoming the world's first trillionaire, the media's shock that World Cup tourists haven't found the South to be an inhospitable wasteland, a new poll highlighting the partisan divide over patriotism, and NBA Finals MVP Jalen Brunson wishing he still paid taxes in Texas.First, they rip Democrats for their hysterical reaction following the SpaceX IPO, with the likes of Bernie Sanders and Ellizabeth Warren rushing to demand wealth taxes as soon as Musk crossed the trillion-dollar mark. Charlie condems the left's tendency towards punishing success and stifling ambition. Next, Charlie and Greg laugh at leftist media figures like USA Today's Christine Brennan being shocked that World Cup tourists were shown excellent hospitality in the American South. The perception of America as dangerous and unwelcoming is proving to be no more than a media lie. Then, they comment on a new NBC poll on American patriotism showing the stark difference in responses between Republicans and Democrats. Pride in America among Democrats seems to be largely dependent upon the occupant of the White House. As an immigrant who is now a U.S. citizen, Charlie explains how disgraceful that thinking is. Finally, Charlie and Greg delight in a clip of NBA Finals MVP Jalen Brunson, who after delivering the New York Knicks their first championship in 53 years, admitted, “I miss the Texas taxes.” Texas does not tax personal income, while New York has one of the nation's highest tax burdens.Please visit our great sponsors:Brooklyn BeddingGet 30% off sitewide Brooklyn Bedding with promo code 3ML at https://BrooklynBedding.comPocket HoseFor a limited time, get two free gifts—a 360° rotating pocket pivot and a thumb drive nozzle—when you buy the Pocket Hose Ballistic; just text MARTINI to 64000, message and data rates may apply.BetterHelpYou don't have to say yes to everything this summer.

However, contrary to conventional wisdom, Davey argues that the problem is not with out-sized workloads. The root cause of the madness sapping productivity in today's offices is our excessive thoughtload.Thoughtload is the cumulative and often overwhelming burden of increasing cognitive and emotional demands, worsened by decreasing physical and mental energy. In this brilliant, highly prescriptive guide, Davey lays out the steps for reducing thoughtload, so that managers and their teams feel more focused―and get more done.For free resources and to order a copy of Thoughtload visit: Thoughtload.comBusiness Leadership Series Intro and Outro music provided by Just Off Turner: https://music.apple.com/za/album/the-long-walk-back/268386576

Hey SO MONEY family — something special in your feed today.My friend Lindsey Stanberry is taking over with an episode of Family Money, her new podcast series with Babylist through The Purse. Lindsey has been covering women, work, and money for over a decade, and what she's building here is exactly the kind of honest, practical conversation that parents need and almost nobody is having well.And yes — I'm in this one.The episode is called "What Does Childcare Actually Cost?" and it does exactly what it says. Lindsey talks with economist Corinne Low — Associate Professor at the Wharton School and author of the USA Today bestseller Having It All — who reframes childcare not as a money pit but as an investment in your time, your career, and your family's future. Then I join to walk through the real numbers: daycare centers, nanny shares, au pairs, in-home care, the grandparent option nobody talks about enough — what each one actually costs and how to figure out what's right for your family.We also get into something that drives me crazy: this idea that childcare costs come out of the mother's salary. They don't. They come out of your family's future. And once you see it that way, everything changes.If you're expecting, deep in the daycare years, or just trying to get ahead of it — this episode is for you. Give Family Money a follow wherever you listen. Lindsey is doing incredible work.Learn more about Farnoosh's upcoming literary workshop Book to Brand. Early bird registration is now open!
