Is Practice Ownership worth the stress?  What's the most difficult thing you have to do as a practice owner?  Thinking about starting your own squat practice? How long does it really take before you see profit, and what sacrifices do you need to make along the way? In this episode, Jaz is joined by Dr. Shabnam Zai to unpack the real highs and lows of running a dental practice. From the loss of control as an associate, to the resilience needed during COVID, to the challenges of leadership and managing a team—nothing is sugar-coated here. They also tackle the big money question: when does a squat practice finally become profitable, and is it worth the grind in those first few years? If you've ever wondered whether practice ownership is for you—or why it might not be—this episode will give you the clarity (and reality check) you need. https://youtu.be/Tf1bgOWMA2A Watch PDP237 on Youtube Protrusive Dental Pearl: “DO NOT COMPARE YOUR WORK TO WHAT YOU SEE ON SOCIAL MEDIA” Most cases shown online are the very best results, done under perfect conditions by clinicians with thousands of hours of experience.  Instead of letting that trigger self-doubt or imposter syndrome, use it as inspiration: respect it, aspire toward it, and occasionally achieve it — but remember that real-world dentistry is different. Key Takeaways Engagement in work is crucial for job satisfaction. Time management is essential for balancing work and family. Marketing and patient relationships are vital for practice growth. Quality time with family is more important than quantity. Coaching can help surface potential and provide accountability. Delegation is essential for effective practice management. Vulnerability can arise unexpectedly in practice ownership. Managing people requires empathy and clear communication. Being an associate can be fulfilling and offers flexibility. It's important to have projects outside of dentistry. Balancing family life with practice ownership is challenging but possible. Financial planning is crucial before starting a practice. Understanding your priorities helps in making career decisions. Documenting staff performance is key to effective management. Continuous learning and self-improvement are vital for success.

Grief changes us, and sometimes, it's also what brings us together. This week, a listener shares: “My partner and I both lost our spouses, and we bonded over that.

Or moving too fast?” In this episode, Damona explores what it really means to show up emotionally after loss, and why vulnerability often doesn't look the same from both sides. You'll hear how to honor your own emotional pace, set gentle boundaries, and recognize the difference between emotional availability and avoidance—even when love is in the room. What You'll Hear In This Episode: Why shared grief doesn't always mean shared emotional timing How to spot different expressions of vulnerability (and not miss what's there) What to do when language that's meant to be playful actually feels off How to speak up about emotional needs without creating conflict Why “moving in” can't solve emotional distance Resources & Links: Download Damona's Frustration Free Dating Guide at DatesandMates.com Got a question?

When we feel safe in our relationships, we feel we can show up with more vulnerability.  When we show up with more vulnerability, we create more emotional and physical intimacy.  But oftentimes, the behaviors we are engaging in in our relationships put the other person into protective mode rather than feeling safe, and so we struggle to create the connected relationships we really desire.  In this podcast we will talk about ten ways we can create more of a safe space for our person.

This episode is like a quiet chat over coffee about how friendships change as we get older, why we lose people along the way, and what it really takes to keep making meaningful connections. I walk through my own story: moving around, losing touch with school friends, finding a local community in Scotland, and the awkward, emotional stuff that comes with staying connected — especially when life and illnesses (like my partner's Parkinson's) make us smaller and more isolated. We talk about what actually holds friendships together (hint: time together and frequency), why loneliness is becoming so common, and how being willing to put ourselves out there — to be vulnerable and take risks — is the real key. I mention Brené Brown and the idea of “feel the fear and do it anyway,” and share small, practical ways to meet people: join groups around things you love (like my running club), invite people in, say yes when you're asked to join, and accept that it takes courage. If you're feeling alone, this is a gentle nudge: do something you enjoy, get involved, and give friendships room to grow. I also talk about how life and work shifts have forced me to reorient my focus toward in-person coaching and how the podcast may change format soon.   For more information of LB&B, check out the links below, and if you found this useful, consider buying me a coffee below.       Life Passion & Business Podcast is about finding answers to life's big questions through weekly interviews with guest speakers.

What impact do I want to make on the people, organization, or world around me? Why do I show up every day?2. What principles do I refuse to compromise on- even under pressure?3.

Episode 332 features Kestrel (just me!) in the second-ever solo episode of the show. With a focus on Kestrel's reemergence after having her second child, she shares some of the things that have been on her mind during this postpartum era, the power of sorting, what “release” has meant to her over this last year, what she's shedding and what's she's embracing. It's very personal, raw and vulnerable — one of the ways Kestrel always loves to connect with you all. “Maybe this whole episode is sounding disconnected from what you generally hear in the sustainability and fashion realm. But – if you've been around for a while, you know that I am not exactly the voice of the typical narrative. I like to push beyond binaries. I want to explore the nuances. I don't want to put people, things or ideas into boxes. These in-betweens are where SO MUCH can thrive, if we let it and give it space to breathe.” -Kestrel  August THEME — WELCOMING THE IN-BETWEENS IN LIFE, SUSTAINABILITY & FASHION When I started the show back in 2016, I never thought I would be into doing solo episodes. My mind was clear that I wanted to welcome guests onto the show and to really focus on learning, listening and sharing multifaceted ideas from solutionists working at the intersections of fashion and sustainability.  And that general intention hasn't wavered. BUT surprisingly, in moments of change or transition, I have felt pulled to connect with you all on my own – just me and my thoughts. It gives me the chance to connect in a really honest, personal, and vulnerable way. It's maybe weird, but I almost feel like having a podcast – a space to dump my thoughts, musings, learnings, challenges – it's really cathartic, and at times, healing as well.  Throughout this brief episode, you'll hear: + Welcoming a new baby + Honoring the mothers in Gaza + Postpartum shifts — the importance of sorting, releasing, and closing doors + Creating space — what prioritizing looks like with two kids + Rooting more deeply into my truth — a new endeavor & a book project Links & quotes from the show: Gaza on my mind — IG post by Evelyn Escobar (@evelynnworld) that Kestrel highlights Organizations and resources to support mothers and families in Gaza — The Sameer Project Healing Our Homeland Free Kitchen Gaza We Feed Gaza Heal Palestine Medical Aid For Palestine USA For UNFP Anera “THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE. The fact that we can have this space to share openly about so many things that make us human is an absolute blessing. When I initially started this show to simply talk about fashion and sustainability – I never imagined I would learn so much about who I am and who I want to be in the world. Turns out – sustainability starts with each one of us. Looking in the mirror and getting clear about ourselves, tuning into our communities that surround us, leading with curiosity and care, and above all – thoughtfully questioning everything along the way.” Follow Kestrel (Conscious Chatter) on Instagram

Special Guest: Joel Friedland https://www.britproperties.com Welcome back to another episode of the Podcast Profits Unleashed Podcast! I'm your host, Karen Roberts, and today's conversation is one I know will shift the way you think about investing, selling, and even the mistakes we've all made along the way. Key Takeaways from This Episode: Listening beats selling every time. Joel shares how learning to ask better questions (instead of pitching) changed the entire trajectory of his career. Vulnerability builds trust. By opening up about failures—including a period of deep depression after the 2008 crash—Joel shows the power of honesty in building long-term investor relationships. Debt-free investing is possible. Joel reveals how syndicating industrial real estate without banks or debt works and why it's a safer long-term play. Commercial real estate is more accessible than most people think. Minimum investments can start far lower than many assume, making it a viable option for more investors. Podcasting as credibility. We explore whether podcasting could be the trust-building platform Joel—and others in business—need to expand their investor network. In this episode, I sit down with Joel Friedland, a seasoned real estate investor with over 40 years of experience. Joel takes us back to 1981, when interest rates were a shocking 17% and he was just starting out in industrial real estate. What struck me most is how he owned up to the mistakes he made early in his career—talking more than listening, pitching instead of consulting—and how those lessons transformed the way he does business today. Joel walks us through his evolution from traditional broker to debt-free syndicator, sharing stories of working with family-run businesses, massive industrial clients, and investors who trusted him enough to join deals worth millions. What makes this episode truly powerful is Joel's candor about the challenges he's faced and the mindset shift that helped him rebuild stronger than ever. If you've ever thought, “I can't get into commercial real estate” or wondered how to truly connect with people in any business, this conversation will change your perspective.

"ADHD is not an excuse, it's a reason." In this episode, Phil and Ky Westcott (mental health advocate - @thevibewithky) delve into the complexities of introversion, mental health, and the evolving understanding of ADHD. They discuss the importance of authenticity in sharing personal struggles, the rise in ADHD diagnoses, and the need for better education around mental health in schools. Ky shares his journey from injury to self-discovery through social media, emphasizing the significance of vulnerability and emotional intelligence in today's youth. The conversation highlights the impact of societal changes on mental health awareness and the importance of supporting individuals in their mental health journeys.   Introversion does not limit performative abilities. The journey of self-discovery can start from personal struggles. Social media can be a platform for authenticity and connection. ADHD awareness is increasing due to more open conversations. Education systems need to adapt to the emotional intelligence of students. Mental health discussions were lacking in past generations. ADHD is a spectrum that evolves over time. Vulnerability in adults can positively influence youth. Stories of late diagnoses highlight the need for awareness. Support and understanding are crucial for mental health management.

Today we welcome Sharon May to the R2Kast!

A strong, healthy relationship is one in which we create a very safe place for each person to be 100% themselves. So many of us did not learn growing up what it means to be in a relationship this way.  If you're like me, you thought that growing up and getting married would mean that you would have someone to love you, to shore up your insecurities, to validate you, or to agree with your opinions.  Strong, happy relationships are places to learn how to be more loving and kind and show up in a space of US rather than a space of ME.  In this podcast we are digging a little deeper into what it means to show up in relationship to create a safe space for our partner.

EP:102Kelsey Erickson, Senior Director of Athlete Health, Engagement, and Experience at USA Cycling.From growing up as an anxious teenager who couldn't spend a night away from home, to moving abroad, earning a PhD, and leading athlete welfare in a male-dominated sport — Kelsey's story is one of curiosity, courage, and refusing to be boxed in.In this conversation, we dive into:Why she never had a “five-year plan” and how that opened unexpected doorsWhat sport taught her about resilience, hard work, and redefining successHow she turned OCD and early struggles into empathy and strengthNavigating male-dominated environments and why being “the only woman in the room” can be an assetThe importance of honesty, curiosity, and showing up — even when you don't have it all figured outKelsey's story is proof that leaning into opportunities, embracing failure, and staying curious can lead to an extraordinary and impactful life.Key TakeawaysYou don't need a fixed plan to build a meaningful career — curiosity and saying “yes” can be enough.Success isn't black and white. Redefine it based on your values, effort, and relationships.Vulnerability and empathy aren't weaknesses — they're strengths that create trust and leadership.Women in male-dominated industries don't need to shrink; their perspective is their power.True confidence comes from being comfortable with failing, laughing at yourself, and showing up anyway.Timestamps0:00 – Michelle introduces Kelsey and the meaning of She Who Dares Wins0:29 – Kelsey on forging her own path without a plan3:00 – From anxious teen to athlete: first steps out of her comfort zone6:00 – Moving abroad, studying, and saying “yes” to new opportunities9:00 – The underdog mindset and redefining success13:00 – Current role at USA Cycling and tackling sensitive issues in sport19:20 – Being the only woman in the room: challenges and opportunities25:30 – Curiosity as the driving force in career and life decisions27:00 – What she'd tell her 14-year-old self about trust and showing up31:00 – A defining “failure” that shaped her career in research36:00 – The unseen side of career struggles and hundreds of job rejections39:00 – Why confidence comes from being okay with mistakes and imperfection43:00 – Vulnerability, crying in a van, and why honesty matters at work45:20 – Michelle gifts Kelsey the She Who Dares Wins hoodie Hosted on Acast.

Tonight I got to see a celebrity figure who I've admired for a long time. His name is Dan Carlin.  It was pretty cool. 

Aboard the Argent Wind, Caoimhe Wake, Antistrophe Landrace, and Brontë Adelvys settle in for a peaceful journey east. But to live the life of the traveler is to dare fate, as all journeys are invitations to encounter the forgotten and the unexpected both. And for this group of adventurers, they find themselves faced with one and then the other: First, the sudden appearance of a childhood friend. Next, a rumbling of what might be amiss in the City of Iron Chains… This week on Perpetua: On Track to Iron Chains Pt. 03 Perpetua Guide [In Progress v.03] Town Maps [TNMP] Cenn, City of Iron Chains [CNMP] The Ironclad Parade The creepy statues surrounding all of Cenn. Nothing happens if you walk through here when you first arrive, besides the occasional tremor. I thought there'd be ghosts to fight or something, but just these statues for now. Pilgrim's Quarter The western border of Cenn, home to hotels, campgrounds, and a general store where you can get IP and other basic items. This is where you arrive if you end up taking the train route to the city. Digsite West This used to be one of the two big dig sites in Cenn, where they were trying to pull up the weird object buried underground, plus all the strange relics and equipment they could find. That latter part is why it turned into a huge shopping zone, and once it was a shopping zone, it was also a food zone. Definitely stop in here before pushing too far in Cenn.  Here's what you can buy there: Weapons Siegebreaker - 750 asta  DEX + INS -【HR + 12】physical damage - Two-handed / Ranged  Damage dealt by this weapon ignores Resistances. Spell Sever - 850 asta  DEX + INS+1 -【HR + 4】dark - One-handed / Melee  When you hit a creature with this weapon, if the attack had a single target, you may choose a single spell with a duration of Scene affecting the target and end its effects on that creature. Armor Archeologist's Boots - 900 Asta When your group makes a discovery while traveling, you may immediately gain 1 Fabula Point. Securibot Armor - martial 1250  11 Def / INS +1 Mdef /  -3 initiative  You have Immunity to earth and poison damage, but Vulnerability to bolt damage. Accessories Digsite Helmet - 700 Asta  Grants Resistance to Physical damage. Broken after the third time physical damage is resisted. Other Strange Device - 2500 Asta  Recovered from the digsite. Has a keyboard like a typewriter, attached to a darkened mirror. (I have NO idea what this is, but I bought it IMMEDIATELY) Castine's Moon The huge moon that was lifted out from the earth's crust. Only the top part of it is above ground, but that's still huge. I love when you can see it in the background! Before Caoimhe gets her mission, you can just walk on its surface and get some lore from some little shrines and the big temple in the middle. One thing I like is that Castine really does walk around it with various NPCs! It seems like it just randomly pulls in one of the other Cenn NPC models for him to hang out with.  Digsite East The dig actually continues here. It's all locked down with security, probably because they're still actively digging.Travelers (and the party) have to go around. Believe it or not, you can actually do some low level grinding here! Groundbreak This is where the digging first started, and because of that it's become important to the city culturally. Both the Hexcloak office AND the City Hall are here. And PLEASE remember, you have to go to the latter to actually start the main quest here. YOUR GAME IS NOT BROKEN JUST BECAUSE THE HEXCLOAK OFFICE IS EMPTY. Seawalk Da beach. The most important thing is that you can play Beachminton here, which is a pretty stupid minigame but the prizes are great. Breeze Boulevard  An elevated area filled with fancy houses. This is where the hoity-toity types of Cenn live. At first I thought this was weird, because it seems like this town shouldn't even have them, since Castine's priests seem to be the most important people. But if you talk to some of the NPCs in town, you can learn that before Castine showed up, the people who made the most money off the archeological dig (and the inventions that came out of it) got rich and wanted to live further away from (and higher up than) the dig sites. Sutcliffe Street The industrial district, where various engineers and blacksmiths and factory-runners try to reverse engineer the stuff that gets found in the digsite.

In this heartfelt excerpt from our very first Kindle Flow Retreat, you'll hear one woman's deeply vulnerable share during a group exercise where participants brought a photo of themselves at a time they last felt connected to pure joy.

At Kindle Flow Retreats, we believe we are the medicine - no plant medicine required. Through connection, guided practices, and a safe, loving container, participants rediscover joy, clarity, and self-trust.

Elizabeth Weingarten, a journalist and applied behavioral scientist, shares her journey through the labyrinth of life's uncertainties in our latest episode. As she faced personal challenges in her marriage and career, she found solace and guidance not in conventional advice, but in the words of Rainer Maria Rilke's "Letters to a Young Poet." Elizabeth's new book, "How to Fall in Love with Questions," is a testament to the power of thoughtful inquiry in an uncertain world. She unveils how embracing questions, rather than fearing them, can lead to personal growth and deeper connections.This episode also tackles the importance of resisting the constant pull of technology for quick answers and instead invites listeners to build resilience by living with uncertainty in everyday situations. By nurturing this practice, we discover how to manage life's bigger, more ambiguous questions with courage and self-awareness.Listeners will find inspiration in creating a "questions practice," an approach that fosters curiosity, conversation, community, and commitment. Learn to transform limiting questions into ones that open possibilities and guide you towards your true desires. With practical examples and strategies, Elizabeth illustrates how open-ended questions can enhance relationships and foster a collaborative spirit, especially within teams. This episode is a call to view uncertainty as an opportunity for growth, to embrace diverse perspectives, and to transform questioning into a powerful tool for personal and professional development.What You'll Learn- The transformative power of embracing questions during uncertain times- How thoughtful inquiry can ignite personal growth- Strategies for building resilience through the art of questioning- Ways to forge deeper connections in personal relationships using questions- Techniques to enhance professional interactions by embracing curiosity- The empowering and inspiring effects of incorporating questions into daily lifePodcast Timestamps(00:00) - Falling in Love With Questions – A Personal Journey(12:33) – Questions As Acts of Courage(20:22) – What Is A Questions Practice?(34:09) – The Power of Open-Ended Questions(43:25) – Creating A Team Culture That Embraces Questions(51:24) – Questions to Keep and Questions to Let GoKEYWORDSPositive Leadership, Navigating Uncertainty, The Power of Questions, Personal Growth, Leading with Courage, Vulnerability as Strength, Managing Technology, Enhancing Resilience, Deepening Relationships, Open-ended Questions, Positive Team Dynamics, The Benefits of Rituals, The Secrets to Collaboration, Raising Self-awareness, CEO Success

In this Soap Box edition of the Risky Business podcast Patrick Gray chats with Socket founder Feross Aboukhadijeh about how to measure the reachability of vulnerabilities in applications. It's great to know there's a CVE in a library you're using, but it's even better if you can say whether or not that vulnerability actually impacts your application. They also talk about how Socket started out as a way to discover malicious packages in software projects, but these days it's playing the CVE game as well. This episode is also available on Youtube.

In a world where men don't usually don't like discussing their feelings, the Mankind Project USA stands as a beacon of hope for men seeking connection and personal growth. In our latest podcast episode, Nathan Ed-wards, CRNA and Boysen Hodgson share their experiences with this transformative organization, which is dedicated to redefining masculinity and fostering a culture of vulnerability and compassion among men. Here's some of what you'll hear in this episode:

In a world full of polished content, authenticity is what truly cuts through.That's the secret behind Armchair Expert, the wildly popular podcast from Dax Shepard that mixes candid conversation with crowd-sourced chaos. In this episode, we unpack the marketing insights behind it with special guest Derek Weeks, Chief Marketing Officer at Katalon.Together, we explore what B2B marketers can learn from building real connections, inviting community participation, and letting go of perfection to create content people genuinely trust and engage with.About our guest, Derek WeeksDerek Weeks is the Chief Marketing Officer at Katalon. He is a driven, results-oriented CMO with a proven ability to achieve multiple successful exits, build and execute bold go-to-market strategies for each stage of business growth, and demonstrate solid returns on marketing investments. Accomplished at building high-performing teams, driving quality marketing-sourced pipeline, developing massive communities, and collaborating with sales teams to meet business targets.What B2B Companies Can Learn From the Armchair Expert Podcast:Vulnerability builds trust and attention. Derek Weeks emphasizes that Armchair Expert's standout quality is its authentic vulnerability, which creates a powerful emotional connection with listeners. He explains, “It's really about being human… It builds an emotional connection with your brand.” Derek draws a parallel to B2B marketing, highlighting that it's crucial to showcase real people behind the brand to forge trust.Mix long-form and short-form content strategically. Armchair Expert masterfully balances 90-minute conversations with short, snackable segments like Armchair Anonymous. Derek believes this dual-format approach is essential for B2B marketing: “That kind of mix of long and short is something that you have to play into as a marketer and realize your audience expects different things at different times.” He stresses that marketers must go deep when it matters, but also repurpose content aggressively to cater to varied audience behaviors, especially across platforms like TikTok.Empower community-generated content. Derek praises Armchair Expert for its use of community-driven content through Armchair Anonymous, where listeners share personal stories weekly. He says, “They really don't have to spend time creating content at all… believe in your community and the value that they create.” B2B marketers should harness their user-generated content to scale content creation far beyond the limits of a marketing budget.Quotes“ You have to think about what draws people to the next.  What did you do in that moment that got people to say, ‘This is worth following or paying attention to or coming back again?'  Figure out what's going to make people come back, not what makes people appear the first time.  The first time is kind of an easy win. The second time, or third time, or 10th time is the hard part.”Time Stamps[00:55]  Meet Derek Weeks, CMO at Katalon[01:23]  Why Armchair Expert?[03:01] Vulnerability and Trust in B2B[08:58]  Don't Build Campaigns, Build Conversations[13:37] The Long-Form to Short-Form Pipeline[19:05] Unfair Mindshare[21:47] What Armchair Expert Gets Right[24:01] Practical Ways to Bring Personality into B2B[27:38] Final Thoughts & TakeawaysLinksConnect with Derek on LinkedInLearn more about KatalonAbout Remarkable!Remarkable! is created by the team at Caspian Studios, the premier B2B Podcast-as-a-Service company.

We live in a world that bombards us with advice, hacks, tips, and strategies for doing life and leadership “better.” But what if the real answer isn't more information, but more space?In this raw and soul-touching solo episode, Janet opens a new chapter of The Inner Edge podcast. She invites us into a more honest conversation about what it means to lead and live with our whole selves, especially when the outer performance doesn't reflect the inner truth.Drawing from her deeply human experiences with executive clients navigating everything from leadership pressure to divorce, burnout, and aging parents, Janet shares why the most powerful leadership work starts inside. And why space—not strategy, tools, or frameworks—may be the thing we're all craving the most.In this episode:Why Janet is reshaping The Inner Edge and what to expect in this new seasonHow too much advice can drown your inner voiceWhat real-life executive clients are actually struggling with behind the scenesThe emotional toll of performing while privately unravelingWhy space, not steps, is often what we truly need to growA powerful reminder that it's not just you, everyone is navigating something messyHow to reconnect with your inner truth and rediscover your "inner edge"The shift from performative leadership to soulful presenceAbout Janet Ioli:Janet Ioli has over 25 years of experience in executive coaching, leadership development, and talent strategy.

The often-overlooked truth in cybersecurity: Seeing the Unseen in Vulnerability ManagementIn this episode, Sean Martin speaks with HD Moore, Founder and CEO of RunZero, about the often-overlooked truth in cybersecurity: the greatest risks are usually the things you don't know exist in your environment.Moore's career has spanned decades of penetration testing, tool creation, and product development, including leading the creation of Metasploit. That background shapes his approach at RunZero—applying attacker-grade discovery techniques to uncover devices, networks, and vulnerabilities that traditional tools miss. Why Discovery Matters MostThrough repeated penetration tests for high-security organizations, Moore observed a consistent pattern: breaches rarely occurred because defenders ignored known issues, but rather because attackers exploited unknown assets. These unknowns often bypassed mitigation strategies simply because they weren't on the organization's radar. Beyond CVEsMoore emphasizes that an overreliance on CVE lists leaves organizations blind to real-world risks. Many breaches stem from misconfigurations, weak credentials, or overlooked systems—problems that can be exploited within days of a vulnerability being announced. The answer, he says, is to focus on exposure and attack paths in real time, not just lists of patchable flaws. Revealing the GapsRunZero's approach often doubles the asset count organizations believe they have, uncovering systems outside existing scanning or endpoint management coverage. By leveraging unauthenticated discovery techniques, they detect exploitable conditions from an attacker's perspective—identifying forgotten hardware, outdated firmware, and network segmentation issues that open dangerous pathways. Changing the GameThis depth of discovery enables security teams to prioritize the small subset of issues that pose the highest business risk, rather than drowning in thousands of low-impact findings. It also helps organizations rebuild their security programs from the ground up—ensuring that every device is accounted for, properly segmented, and monitored. Collaboration and CommunityMoore also shares his ongoing contributions to open source through Project Discovery, integrating and enhancing tools like the nuclei scanner to accelerate vulnerability detection for everyone—not just paying customers. The message is clear: if you want to close the gaps, you first need to know exactly where they are—and that requires a new level of visibility most teams have never had.Learn more about runZero: https://itspm.ag/runzero-5733Note: This story contains promotional content. Learn more.Guest: HD Moore, Founder and CEO of RunZero | On Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/hdmoore/ResourcesLearn more and catch more stories from runZero: https://www.itspmagazine.com/directory/runzeroAre you interested in telling your story?https://www.itspmagazine.com/telling-your-story

Some conversations are uncomfortable, but avoiding them comes with a cost.You want a more successful career, a more fulfilling relationship, a more meaningful life? What if all that's standing in your way — are the conversations that you're avoiding?“Most things that we want in life are on the other side of a difficult conversation,” says Jenn Wynn, a professor at NYU Stern School of Business and previously the director of education at the Obama Foundation. For nearly 10 years, she has taught a course on difficult conversations that equips people to communicate through discomfort in pursuit of what they want. “Sometimes it's a difficult conversation with a loved one, a colleague, a boss… sometimes it's a difficult conversation with myself,” she says. “Are you going to give up on your biggest dreams because you weren't willing to step out of your comfort zone?”In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, Wynn and host Matt Abrahams discuss how to build the “hard but worth-it skills” necessary for difficult communication. Whether it's asking for a raise, setting boundaries, or addressing conflict, Wynn's insights show that the conversations you're avoiding aren't just holding you back — they're keeping you from the life you really want.To listen to the extended Deep Thinks version of this episode, please visit FasterSmarter.io/premium.Episode Reference Links:Jenn WynnThe H.I.

Today's conversation is all about breaking down the barriers to hospitality and inviting others into our imperfect homes and lives. Host Heather Creekmore welcomes hospitality expert and author Abby Kuykendall to talk honestly about why so many of us fear having people over, how our obsession with perfection holds us back, and why biblical hospitality is an act of obedience, not perfection. Abby shares personal stories, practical tips, and a refreshing perspective: God doesn’t ask for Pinterest-perfect homes or Martha Stewart-level parties—He asks for our willingness and intention. The conversation touches on the lies that keep us isolated, how hospitality and body image are linked by the pressure to be “enough,” and the surprising joy that comes from letting others see our real lives, mess and all. You’ll walk away encouraged to stretch your “hospitality muscle,” start small, and remember that true community isn’t about impressing others—it’s about loving them well. Abby also shares insights and resources from her new book, Let the Biscuits Burn, packed with ways to undo perfectionism in hospitality and embrace the blessing of real connection. Key Topics The barriers and fears around inviting others into our homes Cultural messages about self-care vs. the biblical call to hospitality The difference between entertaining and true hospitality Practical first steps to open your home when you feel intimidated Lies from the enemy that keep us from building community Why showing our real, imperfect lives builds deeper relationships Links between body image issues, isolation, and hospitality Abby Kuykendall’s new book and resources for becoming more hospitable Using tools (like ChatGPT!) to help break down conversational barriers Setting healthy boundaries in hospitality Noteworthy Quotes “God doesn’t ask for perfection. He asks for that willingness and heart to be obedient.” “When you open yourselves up...this is my authentic, vulnerable self—that opens the door for others to feel comfortable being raw and intimate themselves.” “We think we want perfection, but that actually would isolate us from people even more.” Resources Let the Biscuits Burn: Cultivating Real Life Hospitality in a World Craving Connection by Abby Kuykendall[Get it wherever books are sold!

Hey team,In this episode, I'm naming something we've all felt in certification but haven't quite had the words for: the invisible curriculum.Yes, you signed up to become a nurse coach—to get CEUs, frameworks, and a board certification. But what you actually get is a mirror held up to your deepest beliefs, fears, and identity.You might be thinking, “Why does it feel like my life is coaching me?” You're not doing it wrong—this is the work. It's emotional, messy, and transformational. You're not just earning a title… you're becoming someone new.I share why this part of the process matters, how it sets our program apart, and why it's the real reason Laura and I decided to run a certification in the first place.Ask yourself:What part of the invisible curriculum are you learning right now? Courage? Trust? Vulnerability? Whatever it is, you're becoming. And I'm proud of you.—Shelby

Recorded live from the Oregon coast on the final day of MeCamp, this special two-part conversation between Jen and her partner Tyler Merritt is the perfect blend of hilarity, heart, and honesty. In Part 1, Jen and Tyler share stories from their MeCamp adventures — including a whale-watching excursion that got a little too close for comfort, and a near-death boat ride they'll never forget. They also reflect on the power of personal storytelling, how vulnerability has shown up in their lives and work, and why telling the truth (even when it's awkward) can be both healing and hilarious. Discussing the impact of Tyler's viral video "Before You Call the Cops" to Jen's reflections on her upcoming book "Awake," this conversation reveals the transformative potential of embracing vulnerability. Tune in to discover how opening up about our most personal stories can not only heal us but also inspire others to see themselves in our narratives. Tyler talks about the most awkward moment he's ever had because he opted to be vulnerable and honest instead of protecting his pride He and Jen discuss the hardest truths they've ever had to tell themselves And Tyler goes back into the annals to reveal his most embarrassing moment as a performer on stage Thought-provoking Quotes: “The spirit of MeCamp almost got us killed.”– Tyler Merritt “I'm aware that it's not every day that most people see a six foot two black man with dreadlocks crying in real life. I have never regretted a single moment in my life of being transparent about how I feel emotionally with somebody. Vulnerability has never kicked back at me in a negative way.”– Tyler Merritt “I think vulnerability begets vulnerability. Because I was saying who I am and I was allowing myself to be open to the world, the world was willing to take that. What it did within the black community is it allowed a lot of other black people to begin making their own videos going, before you call the cops, I just want you to know this about me. So it opened up a door of vulnerability that really allowed that to kind of echo.”– Tyler Merritt Resources Mentioned in This Episode: Depoe Bay, Oregon – https://visittheoregoncoast.com/cities/depoe-bay/ Awake: A Memoir by Jen Hatmaker - https://amzn.to/40MYuXs Jen shares the first line from Awake – https://www.instagram.com/reel/DMrDdj4sCaQ/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=ZzdzZGdvM3h5Mmd6 This Changes Everything: A Surprisingly Funny Story About Race, Cancer, Faith, and Other Things We Don't Talk About by Tyler Merritt – https://amzn.to/4m135Oj Brené Brown – https://brenebrown.com/ Before You Call The Cops by The Tyler Merritt Project – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oGu_xGBekpo I Take My Coffee Black: Reflections on Tupac, Musical Theater, Faith, and Being Black in America by Tyler Merritt – https://amzn.to/47by9Gf Luna Sea Fish House in Yachats, Oregon – https://www.lunaseafishhouse.com/ Buy My Own Drinks by Runaway June – https://open.spotify.com/track/40p6WybX0YvcLdMlLja3oL A Door Made for Me by Tyler Merritt – https://amzn.to/4mv4jBd A Long December by Counting Crows - https://open.spotify.com/track/1tjKIXd7DYNklhVSgBxREi Guest's Links: Website - https://thetylermerrittproject.com/ Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/thetylermerrittproject/ Twitter - https://x.com/ttmproject Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/thetylermerrittproject Youtube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCPB48_JfK-VMnYQPTYyMX5Q Connect with Jen!Jen's Website - https://jenhatmaker.com/ Jen's Instagram - https://instagram.com/jenhatmakerJen's Twitter - https://twitter.com/jenHatmaker/ Jen's Facebook - https://facebook.com/jenhatmakerJen's YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/user/JenHatmaker The For the Love Podcast is presented by Audacy.
