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

In this episode of Breaking Down Barriers, David sits down with Marci Goodwin, co-founder of SmartStart Business Development and creator of the SmartStart Navigator, to talk about the "hidden entrepreneurs" quietly reshaping small-town economies across the country.Marci shares how a SaaS platform originally built for high-growth tech startups found its real audience in microbusinesses—the makers, side-hustlers, and mom-and-pop owners who make up the vast majority of U.S. businesses but rarely walk through the doors of an SBDC or chamber of commerce. She and David dig into why these owner-operated businesses (fewer than 10 employees, many with just one) are the true engine of local economic activity, especially as rural Main Streets lose their traditional employer businesses.The conversation covers a lot of ground: how SmartStart's bootstrapped, community-embedded model works; the baby-steps approach to getting microbusinesses "bankable"; real stories of downtown revitalization sparked by a single entrepreneur pulling others up behind her; and why traditional KPIs like jobs created and tax revenue don't capture the real impact of this work. Marci introduces the concept of KIIs—Key Impact Indicators—as a better way to measure success before the traditional metrics ever show up.In this episode:Why so many U.S. businesses are microbusinesses, and why that mattersHow SmartStart Navigator helps communities find entrepreneurs who don't yet see themselves that wayThe customer-development-first approach to getting a business "bank ready"Two Main Street revival stories—from a single-storefront herbalist to a six-vendor maker communityWhy traditional KPIs fail microbusinesses, and what Key Impact Indicators (KIIs) look like insteadAdvice for the next generation of economic development practitioners: get out from behind the deskConnect with Marci Goodwin:LinkedIn: Marci GoodwinSmartStart Business DevelopmentSmartStartNavigator.com

We are officially at the halfway point of 2026, and if you started the year with a vision, a word of the year, or a list of declarations about who you wanted to be, this is the moment to pause and take an honest look at how the first six months actually went. And if you're not exactly where you thought you'd be right now, I want you to know that's more than okay.In this episode I'm doing my own mid-year check-in out loud, including the parts that didn't go according to plan. I made a team hire at the beginning of the year that I thought was going to free me up, and five months in, it didn't work out. I said I was going to write a book this year, and I haven't started it yet. I'm walking through why none of that means I failed, why reassessing at the midpoint isn't the same as giving up on your goals, and the real questions to ask yourself right now: has what you want changed, has your vision shifted, and what clarity have you gained in the last six months that you simply didn't have in January.I'm also getting into why I believe your business is an ongoing experiment and not a fixed plan you have to white-knuckle your way through, and why being willing to change your mind is a sign of growth, not a sign of failure. I'm sharing what my own next six months look like, including how I'm approaching my launches differently this year and where my focus is going as I head into Passionate & Prosperous Live.In this episode you'll hear:Why not being where you thought you'd be by mid-year is not a fail — and might actually be a sign something better is on its wayThe exact questions to ask yourself to figure out if your goals have genuinely changed, or if you just got knocked off courseWhy "you're allowed to change your mind" applies to your business goals just as much as anything else in your lifeWhat happened when a team hire didn't go the way I planned — and why I'm not beating myself up about itHow to recommit to the rest of the year without dragging guilt or self-judgment into itWhy treating your business as an experiment instead of a rigid plan changes how you handle everything that's still aheadWherever you land when you take stock, this episode is your permission to pause, reset, and head into the second half of the year without carrying any regret about the first.Early bird tickets for Passionate & Prosperous Live are on sale right NOW!

Change comes from action. Doable changes are things that you can add into your life, one at a time to make micro shifts and really create a ripple effect that will create a big change over time. Choose one that really piques your interest and roll with it. Here are three Doable Changes from this conversation:15 MINUTE CHALLENGE. Spending too much time creating social? Set a timer for 15 minutes. Use that time to create your post. A tip from the magazine: Your life is the content. Ask yourself: What in my life today connects to what my audience needs?TIME GAP COMMENTING. You can schedule 15 minutes to go in and comment strategically, but you can also try using those little gaps of time — while waiting in line or between calls. Comment strategically on complimentary accounts. Get involved in the conversation. TRY GOING LIVE. Going live has a different energy than you talking to your phone for a video. Even if you aren't that used to being in front of the camera, you can learn to be more comfortable. And video builds trust.

Text 'em here!If you've ever opened Instagram or YouTube and found yourself thinking..."How is everyone making money... except me?"This episode is for you.Because the truth is, social media only shows you the highlight reel. It shows you the six-figure launches, the million-dollar screenshots, the "I made this while I slept" posts... but it doesn't show you the years of consistency, the failures, the pivots, the tears, or the obedience that came before the breakthrough.And if you're not careful, you'll start believing the lie that you're the only entrepreneur struggling.You're not.In today's episode, we're pulling back the curtain on what actually separates entrepreneurs who build successful businesses—and why those patterns are far more biblical than most people realize.We're talking about:Why the algorithm is making you feel behindThe millionaire habits that actually create long-term successThe biblical difference between obsession and idolizationWhy consistency, repetition, and structure matter more than another "secret strategy"How to stop chasing shiny objects and finally build momentum God's wayThe mindset shifts that will keep you from quitting when business feels discouragingFriend... if you've been working hard, showing up, praying, trying, pivoting, and wondering why it still feels like nothing is working, I need you to hear this:There is nothing wrong with you.You don't need another trendy strategy.You need to stop measuring your journey against someone else's highlight reel and start becoming the leader God is calling you to be.I truly believe this conversation will encourage you, challenge you, and help you keep going—especially if you've been on the verge of giving up.❤️ If this episode encouraged you, don't forget to subscribe, leave a review, and share it with another entrepreneur who needs this reminder today.

Is your corporate job really safer than going solo? Hooman Radfar, co-founder of Collective and an early investor in Uber, SpaceX, Stripe, and OpenAI, argues the opposite. After living through a brutal 2008 layoff, he realized that "safety" at a big company is often an illusion, and that betting on yourself may be the smarter long-term move.In this episode, Hooman shares why he walked away from venture investing to focus on solopreneurs, what separates thriving solo businesses from struggling ones, and why AI is quietly creating a new class of high-earning, one-person companies. He also breaks down the unglamorous back-office work (bookkeeping, taxes, entity formation) that quietly derails most solopreneurs, and how to avoid it.In this episode, you'll learn:Why "corporate safety" is often a myth, even at companies like Google and MetaThe real reason most solo businesses fail (hint: it's not the work itself)How AI is changing the math on what one person can buildWhy extreme focus beats taking on every client who comes your wayThe simple daily habit Hooman credits for long-term entrepreneurial successConnect with Hooman Radfar: LinkedIn & X/ Website: collective.comEnjoyed this episode?

What do dough balls, coffee, Covid crisis meetings, global expansion, and one very determined mum have in common?This week's guest is Caroline Ottoy, Managing Director of WatchHouse.Today, WatchHouse is one of the most exciting hospitality brands on the planet, with 29 locations across the UK, USA and Dubai, and ambitious plans to reach 100 sites globally over the next few years.But Caroline's journey started in a very different place.A teenager destined for a science degree, a year spent slightly losing her way, and a mum who effectively packed her bags and sent her to hospitality university whether she liked it or not.Thankfully, she did.In this episode we chat about:How an agricultural college accidentally launched a hospitality careerSpending a year working in France and becoming fluent in FrenchThe early days of ASK and opening restaurants across the UKLiving above the restaurant and learning hospitality the hard wayThe legendary Dough Ball IncidentGrowing brands from start up to national successThe move from restaurants into Planet OrganicLeading through Covid and creating daily "Cobra Meetings" to keep teams alignedLearning to step up when uncertainty is everywhereOvercoming imposter syndrome and finding confidence on stageThe mentors, cheerleaders and leaders who changed her lifeWhy EOS has become one of the most powerful tools behind WatchHouse's growthThe ambitious journey to 100 WatchHouse locations worldwideSome of my Favourite Quotables"Visions are irrelevant without great people""Everything is about people. Everything""I was a really good waitress. I'm telling you now, I could handle a big section""We didn't really know what we were doing. We were just finding out as we went along"Along the way we explore leadership, resilience, culture, friendship, hospitality careers, and the extraordinary impact great people can have on the direction of our lives.One of my favourite moments came when Caroline reflected on receiving a message from a former team member years later, thanking her for the role she'd played in shaping his career and life.It's a beautiful reminder that in hospitality, we often have a far bigger impact on people than we ever realise.Funny, thoughtful, inspiring and packed with lessons for anyone building teams, leading people, or simply trying to figure things out as they go.And yes...There is a story involving enough dough balls to fill half of Bristol.Enjoy.Show PartnerA big shout out to today's show partner, RotaCloud — the people management platform built specifically for shift-based teams.RotaCloud lets managers create and share rotas, record attendance, and manage annual leave in minutes — all from one simple, web-based app.It also makes life easier for teams, allowing staff to check rotas, request holiday, and pick up extra shifts directly from their phones.To find out more, head to RotaCloudThis podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: Podcorn - https://podcorn.com/privacy

You've built the routine, protected the calendar, and checked every box — and somehow fun became the thing you're either white-knuckling through the week to earn or going completely feral with by Friday night. Krysta gets real about why high-achievers are the worst at letting themselves actually enjoy their lives, and how a little intention (not another goal) changes everything. In this episode we dive into:Why structure and fun are not competing forces — and what it costs you when you treat them like they areThe pressure cooker pattern that's making your weekends feel like emotional release valves instead of actual restHow to stop dangling fun like a carrot and start building it into the week before you're desperate for itThe "FYX tip" for summer: one small thing, mid-week, no productivity agenda attachedThe Pattern You're Living By on AutopilotYou're the person who coordinates the vacations, protects the workout, keeps the grocery list — and throws fun in wherever the scraps areBy the time you finally get to it, you're either too exhausted to enjoy it or so starved for it you go overboardThe real issue isn't discipline vs. freedom — it's that fun has become a reward instead of a regular part of lifeAnd when you finally "let yourself" have it, your brain uses the overcorrection as evidence you can't be trusted with freedomTaking the Lid Off the Pressure CookerOne dinner is not a verdict on your discipline. One post is not proof your business is working. One date night is not evidence your relationship is thriving.Krysta traces the pattern back to last summer — saying no to golf, no to the beach, running two businesses and still feeling like she was falling behindThe content parallel: when every post has to gain followers, close clients, explain your offer, and showcase your personality all at once — the content gets stiff. Same thing happens to your life.The second you stop asking every small moment to prove something, it gets easier to actually enjoy itScheduling the Fun FirstThe fix isn't a vacation or a fully unplugged weekend — it's a coffee on Wednesday when the weather's nice, or one dinner where you just order the pastaStructure gives you permission to have fun without your whole life feeling like it's falling apart — but only if you actually use it that wayThe romanticizing of tiny things (the Diet Coke mid-afternoon, the walk that's just a walk, the laugh with your person for 20 minutes) changes the texture of your actual dayA full calendar doesn't mean a full life. Let the smaller stuff be smaller — and then let it actually be enjoyed.This episode is the reminder that so many of us need heading into summer: there is no such thing as a life well-built if you don't actually enjoy living it. Whether you've been heads down since January and haven't let yourself breathe, or you tend to swing hard the other way and wake up every September with regret — this one's going to hit. The goal isn't perfect balance. It's enough structure that you're not constantly starting over, and enough lightness that your life doesn't feel like a spreadsheet.Want to go deeper on the mindset behind why we put so much pressure on ourselves? Revisit the projection episode from a few weeks back where Krysta unpacks how the stories we tell ourselves about what we "have to" do become the very thing keeping us stuck.Follow Krysta:⁠⁠@thekrystahuber⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@thespreadmktg ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@thefitnessfyx⁠⁠⁠

This month on the My DPC Story podcast we are talking about the tools that serve us, and Dr. Michael Hobbs is a voice you do not want to miss.Dr. Hobbs is a pediatrician and founder of Lakes Pediatrics, the first pediatric Direct Primary Care practice in the Minneapolis area, serving families across Edina, Wayzata, and the western suburbs. He brings over twenty years in Twin Cities pediatrics, more than a decade as an adjunct professor at the University of Minnesota Medical School, Top Doctor recognition from Mpls.St.Paul Magazine and Minnesota Monthly, subspecialty training in infectious diseases and Group A Strep, and a Reach Institute mini-fellowship in pediatric mental health care.What makes this episode essential listening is Dr. Hobbs himself. A self-described knowledgeable hacker who grew up alongside the technology, from a Commodore 64 to writing early web pages, he has watched the entire arc of medical documentation: index cards, paper charts, dictation, the EHR, templates, and now AI scribes. He knows what gets better and what gets worse when tech enters the exam room.In this conversation, Dr. Hobbs covers:The one question to ask before adopting any tool, EHR, phone system, or AIWhy building your own tools is more doable than you thinkWhy now is not the time to lock into a long term software contractThe difference between AI that serves you and AI that turns you into a liability machinePatient transparency, shadow AI, BAAs, and using tools safelyWhy LLMs are terrible at math, learned the hard wayThe best first AI investment for a new DPC doctor on a small budgetAI as a clinical decision support thought partner, not a guideline machineAnd because both Dr. Concepcion and Dr. Hobbs are recovering anthropology buffs, they keep returning to the truth underneath the technology: people like people. The tools only matter if they give us more room to be human with the families we serve.Whether you are deep into building AI workflows or you hear the word AI and want to run, this episode meets you where you are.New to DPC or ready to go deeper?

For a change I want to share what it feels like for me to be on the receiving end of some amazing coaching. There's so much value in working with great coaches. They help me stretch my sense of what's possible, they ask the right questions to get to the heart of what's in the way, and they help open the path to achieving those stretch goals.  I've just come back from an amazing retreat where I got to spend two full days with my favorite coaches and peers. There were about 150 of us total hanging out together for two days. Sharing breakthroughs, helping each other have more breakthroughs, and helping each other figure out what the next big thing is. What's the next win? Where do we want to stretch next? I got to thinking about how much impact this experience has on my success in my work, and in my life. And I wanted to share that with you because I think there are lessons for everyone there. In this episode, I'm sharing: How to know when a blind spot or hidden obstacle is in your wayThe lesson those hidden obstacles are trying to get you to learnHow fear or worry about an unwanted outcome can derail your vision of the big impact you want to make Two success hacks to help you reach your goals faster and more consistentlyHow to create a great peer-coaching and accountability relationship that will accelerate your resultsWhy getting comfortable with being uncomfortable can be your secret to success  Help spread the word! If you found value in this episode, I'd be grateful if you would leave a review on iTunes or wherever you listen. Your reviews help other nonprofit leaders find the podcast.  Thanks!!

With Max newly off to college, we explore what it really means to grow up alongside your children, and why the first child is always the guinea pig.In this episode, we talk about:Why parenting is a relationship, not a role,  and what changes when you start treating it that wayThe elastic band of letting go: how capable kids become when we step backReclaiming your identity after 20 years of putting yourself on the back burnerMarriage lessons from 21 years with Seth, including why pausing before you speak might be the most underrated relationship skillThe emotional vs. physical conflict types (and why opposites always seem to find each other)Love languages in real life: why acts of service land differently for different peopleIgnoring outside pressure and tuning into your own family's valuesWhy fear sits at the heart of most parenting struggles — and how self-care connects you to deeper intuition about your kidsRebecca's parting wisdom is simple and powerful: when we focus on our own nervous system and keep ourselves in a good state, we show up better for everyone around us.Rebecca Greene received her Bachelor's degree in psychology and her Master's degree in social work.  Rebecca is a social worker, blogger, vlogger, podcaster and author. Connect with Rebecca: Visit her websiteThe Whinypaluza Facebook GroupRebecca's PodcastYoutubeEnjoyed this episode?

In this episode of I'm an Artist, Not a Salesman, host Luis Guzman sits down with Julee Gracey, a business coach, author of Highly Confident, and someone who's lived just about every version of the hustle. From modeling in Milan to dominating real estate and eventually walking away from commission-driven success, Julee shares what it really takes to build a life rooted in purpose, confidence, and intention.This conversation goes way deeper than surface-level motivation. It's about the uncomfortable truth that most people avoid: if you want real growth, you're going to have to face yourself. Julee breaks down how self-doubt, fear, and lack of discipline quietly sabotage progress, and why so many people stay stuck chasing what feels familiar instead of what actually moves them forward. The shift from chasing money to building meaning didn't come easy, but it's what changed everything for her.Luis and Julee also get real about the difference between talking about success and actually doing the work. They dig into the idea that confidence isn't something you're born with, it's something you build through repetition, failure, and showing up when you don't feel like it. There's a strong focus on personal accountability, calling out the mindset of entitlement, and replacing it with ownership and action.A major theme throughout the episode is being comfortable with discomfort. Whether it's starting a business, putting yourself out there, or learning a new skill, the message is clear: you're going to suck before you get good, and that's part of the process. Julee shares how embracing that phase is what separates people who grow from those who quit early.You'll also hear powerful insights on sales, networking, and human connection. From ditching traditional business cards to building real relationships, this episode flips the script on what it means to connect in a world driven by attention and algorithms. The focus stays grounded in authenticity, showing up as yourself, and creating genuine value for others.Key takeaways from this episode include:Why confidence is built through action, not waiting until you feel readyHow fear and familiarity keep you stuck in cycles that don't serve youThe importance of mentorship and coaching to accelerate growthWhy discipline beats motivation every single timeHow to approach networking and sales in a more human, effective wayThe truth about sacrifice, boundaries, and protecting what matters mostThis episode is a must-listen for creatives, entrepreneurs, and anyone trying to figure out how to grow without losing themselves in the process. It's honest, direct, and packed with real-world perspective that cuts through the noise.If this conversation hit home, make sure to follow I'm an Artist, Not a Salesman on your favorite podcast platform, leave a review, and share the episode with someone who needs it. You can connect with Luis Guzman on social media for more behind-the-scenes content, clips, and updates on upcoming guests. Stay tapped in, keep creating, and remember, you don't have to sell out to build something real.

Marriage will change you — the question is, will it change you for better or worse?In this episode, we get honest about six real ways marriage has shaped, stretched, and sanctified us — the good stuff AND the uncomfortable stuff. From sin being exposed (yes, including the t-shirt drawer debate) to learning that love is a daily choice and not just a feeling, this one's a candid conversation you'll want to share with your spouse.In this episode:Why marriage exposes sin you didn't even know you hadHow close proximity forces you to think about others moreWhy structure and discipline in marriage creates MORE freedomThe conflict skills they had to learn the hard wayThe humbling reality of thinking you know it all before kidsWhy love is a choice — and what that looks like in the real, tired momentsOne Degree Shift: Ask your spouse this week — "How can I best serve you this week?" — and then actually do it.

Today's episode is a reminder that you don't need another cleanse. You need to understand why your body can't handle the one you're already doing.If you've been trying all the “right” things—juice cleanses, supplements, detox protocols—and still feel bloated, exhausted, anxious, or stuck… this episode is going to shift everything.In this conversation, Dr. Danielle breaks down the real reason detox isn't working for you—and it has nothing to do with your willpower. It comes down to drainage.Your body was designed to detox. It was created with a built-in system to eliminate waste, regulate hormones, and keep you functioning at a high level. When that system gets backed up, everything else starts to fall apart—your energy, your digestion, your mood, your skin, even your spiritual clarity.This is where most people get it wrong. They jump straight into detox without opening the pathways that actually allow the body to release.Inside this episode, you'll learn:Why detox protocols can actually make you feel worseThe exact role your liver, gut, lymph, and nervous system play in healingSigns your drainage system is overloaded (and what your body is trying to tell you)Simple, foundational steps to start supporting detox the right wayThe connection between emotional, physical, and spiritual “clogging”This is your invitation to stop guessing, stop overloading your body, and start working with it the way it was designed.SERVICES & MEMBERSHIPS:Register Below for Wednesday's Free Workshop on Zoom: The 3 Things Keeping Your Body Inflamed, Exhausted, and StuckBlood Sugar ExplorersAdventurerSubstackCoffee Cafe RegistrationHow to Fix Your Energy Cravings and MoodFirst Steps ClinicBeholdWork With Dr. DanielleFoundational PackageComprehensive PackageAmazon StorefrontFREE RESOURCES:Dr. Danielle's Root Cause Reset Guide

Rebecca and Shaun are joined by Maegan Blau, owner of Blue Copper Design in the Phoenix area, for a conversation about accessibility, aging in place, and why thoughtful design should support people through every stage of life. Maegan shares how her lived experience as a wheelchair user shaped her design perspective and why accessibility has become such a central part of her business.They dig into the misconceptions that keep homeowners and designers from planning ahead, from the belief that accessibility is only needed “later” to the idea that it has to look clinical or cost dramatically more. Along the way, they also talk about designing for seniors, the future of accessible interiors, social media hot takes, and a few delightfully chaotic sidebars only this club could deliver.In this episode they discuss:Why Maegan believes seniors are often the best entry point for conversations about accessibility and aging in placeCommon misconceptions around accessible design, including the idea that it is ugly, overly expensive, or only necessary after a crisisHow designers can make homes more flexible with features like curbless showers, wider doorways, blocking for future grab bars, and hybrid cabinetryThe difference between accessible design, ADA guidelines, universal design, and aging-in-place planning in residential interiorsWhy waiting until an injury, illness, or mobility change happens is usually too late for smart and seamless home updatesHow Maegan is using social media to educate both designers and homeowners about accessibility in a more practical and relatable wayThe challenge of building a design business that serves an underserved population while still sustaining a luxury service modelA mix of industry chatter on portfolios, newsletters, design process tools, celebrity house features, and the realities of sharing opinions onlineMentioned:Blue Copper DesignBlue Copper Design on FacebookBlue Copper Design on InstagramOur links:Subscribe and leave a review - Apple PodcastsLike, Comment, & Follow - Hot Young Designers Club InstagramRebecca's InstagramShaun's InstagramFor more information - Check out the websiteBecome a “Loyal Hottie” - Support us on PatreonDesign Resources - Check out our shop

In this episode, Eric Stark breaks down the #1 mistake people make when upgrading an RV toilet: assuming the new toilet will connect the same way as the old one. The floor mounting is usually straightforward, but the water supply connection is where most upgrades get hung up—different fittings, different angles, and sometimes a water line that needs to be replaced or adapted. Eric also covers what really matters when choosing a replacement toilet (spoiler: it's not the brand name). You'll learn the measurements to check before you buy, including the bolt spacing and the “back-to-wall” clearance that can make certain upgraded models sit too deep or not fit at all. Plus, listeners are invited to share what black tank treatments have worked best for them, and Eric wraps up with a look at new Camco sewer hose fitting upgrades designed to make hookups easier and more reliable. Episode Focus: RV toilet replacement and upgrades — what actually causes problems, and how to avoid them.
