Podcasts about what you will learn

What if everything you've done in your career has been preparing you for something far more expansive than you ever imagined? In this episode of Wickedly Smart Women, host Anjel B. Hartwell welcomes Julie Ryan, world-renowned medical intuitive, psychic medium, inventor, entrepreneur, and bestselling author of Angelic Attendance. Julie shares her extraordinary journey from founding nine companies across five industries to fully stepping into her intuitive and spiritual calling later in life. This episode is a powerful reminder for women feeling called to leave corporate, pivot their careers, or honor unconventional paths. What You Will Learn: How reading Anatomy of the Spirit and Hands of Light opened the door to energy healing and intuition. Why intuition, psychic ability, mediumship, and healing are not separate gifts but expressions of the same spiritual connection. Why everyone goes to heaven and why fear-based beliefs about death are deeply outdated. How medical intuition works and why healing always comes from within the person themselves. The surprising role maternal ancestors play in guiding souls during the dying process. Why spiritual awakenings are happening more frequently on a collective and planetary level. How women are often the natural leaders in spiritual healing and intuitive development. Why your existing skills, education, and business experience are never wasted when answering a spiritual call. How science is beginning to validate what intuitive and energy healers have known for centuries. Connect with Julie Ryan Ask Julie Ryan   Connect with Anjel B.

On this episode of Destination on the Left, I'm joined by the dynamic Neelu Kaur, organizational psychologist, self-advocacy champion, author, and keynote speaker. Neelu dispels the myth that self-advocacy is boastful, and we discuss how advocating for yourself can actually be a generous and empowering act. She shares how leaders and teams can create environments where all voices are heard, exploring the innovative concept of "generous exclusion," and the importance of dialing up the "I" or the "we" when the moment calls for it. Neelu also suggests some great practical strategies for promoting authentic self-advocacy in any organization. What You Will Learn in This Episode: Why self-advocacy is often misunderstood as boastful and how to reframe it as essential for innovation What "generous exclusion" means, and how being intentional about who participates can lead to more creative outcomes How different processing styles impact participation in meetings, and what leaders can do to create safer spaces for all voices Why structure is necessary for big, creative thinking, and how frameworks borrowed from organizations like Disney help teams brainstorm and dream without self-censoring Understanding what energizes individuals creates a more productive, collaborative environment What practical steps you can take to build self-advocacy skills How Speaking Up Transforms Teams and Unlocks Personal Potential So many people, particularly women, introverts, or those from cultures that value humility, see self-advocacy as something selfish or boastful. Neelu turns this assumption on its head, describing self-advocacy as the most generous act you can do. By speaking up, you model positive behaviors for others, making it easier for those who follow in your footsteps to do the same. When you advocate for yourself, whether it's sharing an idea in a meeting or negotiating your role, you're not just advancing your own interests. You're opening doors, encouraging diversity of thought, and paving the way for colleagues who may face similar barriers. The Barriers to Speaking Up and How to Overcome Them For years, Neelu thought her professional setbacks stemmed from a lack of skills, but she realized she just hadn't learned to advocate for her ideas. Her silence was frequently misread as disengagement, and fast-paced meetings left her behind. To overcome the hurdle of seeing speaking up as boastful, she recommends self-reflection and practical steps, such as practicing self-advocacy in low-stakes situations, like choosing a restaurant for dinner with friends. Leaders and organizations also need to adjust by building meeting structures that allow quieter voices to contribute and encouraging follow-up dialogue beyond real-time meetings. Are We Over-Indexing on Collaboration? Collaboration is praised as the ideal. But as we discuss, simply adding more people to a meeting doesn't guarantee creativity—or even productivity. Neelu highlights the concept of "generous exclusion" by Priya Parker, sharing why being selective about who joins which meetings lets people focus, minimizes inefficiencies, and leaves room for deep work. Organizations often over-index on collaboration, with endless group meetings that crowd out the time needed for innovation. Instead, leaders need to be strategic, invite the right mix of creative minds, give space for diverse strengths, and allow those who need extra processing time to contribute asynchronously.

In this episode of the Massive Passive Cashflow Podcast, Gary sits down with Terry Roberts, a seasoned mortgage broker with over 15 years of lending experience and a deep specialization in VA loans, investor financing, and non-traditional mortgage strategies. Terry shares his powerful journey—from homelessness, being a high school dropout, and a teenage father, to serving nine years in the U.S. Marine Corps and ultimately becoming a nationwide mortgage broker with access to 160+ lenders. His unique background in military leadership, business operations, and mortgage innovation gives him a rare perspective on how financing really works behind the scenes. Throughout the conversation, Terry breaks down why working with a mortgage broker vs. a retail bank loan officer can dramatically expand financing options for buyers and investors. He explains how veterans can strategically use VA loans to acquire duplexes, triplexes, and fourplexes with little to no money down, how eligibility truly works, and how military families can build long-term wealth through real estate. We also dive deep into investor-focused loan programs most agents don't even know exist—such as asset depletion loans, rental-income-based financing, and loans that don't require tax returns, W-2s, or traditional income documentation. Terry explains how these options open doors for 1099 earners, real estate agents, retirees, developers, and foreign investors looking to invest safely in U.S. real estate. The episode wraps with a candid discussion on interest rates, Fed rate cuts, the 10-year Treasury, refinance strategies that actually make sense, and why trying to time the market often costs investors more in the long run. Whether you're a real estate agent, investor, veteran, or buyer trying to navigate today's complex lending landscape, this episode delivers clarity, strategy, and practical insights you can apply immediately.     What You Will Learn: How mortgage brokers unlock better loan options than traditional banks The real difference between a broker and a retail loan officer How veterans can use VA loans to build wealth with little to no money down Using VA loans for duplexes, triplexes, and fourplexes How VA entitlement actually works (and why it's not based on property count) Investor loan options that don't require tax returns, W-2s, or pay stubs How rental-income-based loans work for investors and 1099 earners Asset depletion loans for retirees and high-net-worth investors Financing strategies for real estate agents who can't qualify traditionally Loan options for land, development, and mixed-use projects Can foreign nationals invest in U.S. real estate? (Yes—and how) Why Fed rate cuts don't directly control mortgage rates Why the 10-year U.S. Treasury matters more than Fed announcements When refinancing makes sense—even if your interest rate increases How refinancing can eliminate high-interest debt and improve cash flow Simple ways to lower monthly payments without refinancing Why relationships—not transactions—drive long-term success in real estate     Links & Resources: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TerryRobertsNMLS397987 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mortgagetipdaily LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/terrydroberts/ Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@mortgagetipdaily Website: terryroberts.com Email: troberts@emortgagecapital.com Attention Investors and Agents: Are you ready to scale your real estate business and connect with like-minded professionals?

From sharing compelling origin stories to posting weekly updates and engaging thoughtfully with comments, Greg Star outlines what kind of content builds trust, authenticity, and ultimately, business opportunities. They discuss how true engagement emerges when you blend professional expertise with genuine connection—without veering into "cringe" territory or oversharing. You'll also get an inside look at Greg Star's journey from manually creating buzz for his own business on LinkedIn to developing AI-powered tools that help introverted or time-strapped leaders tell their stories effectively. Hear practical tips for building consistency, making each post matter, and handling the inevitable engagement that follows. Plus, find out why starting now—no matter how long you've waited—is the key to momentum.   This episode is a must-listen for agency owners, executives, and anyone ready to move beyond passive lurking and intentional yet inauthentic posting. By the end, you'll be inspired to up your LinkedIn game, share your unique "why," and embrace consistency as the secret weapon to becoming a more visible and trusted leader in today's crowded agency landscape.   A big thank you to our podcast's presenting sponsor, White Label IQ.

In Part 2 of Chalene Johnson's origin story, things get heavier, messier, and way more revealing. This episode dives into the moment money stopped being abstract and became emotional, personal, and tied to identity at a very young age. From carrying financial responsibility as a kid, to learning how praise, hustle, and ego quietly fused together, this episode explains how independence can become both a superpower and a trap. What starts as resourcefulness turns into pressure, risk, betrayal, and a series of decisions that shaped how Chalene viewed work, worth, and safety long before fame or fitness. And just when everything finally seems to be clicking into place, the story cuts off right as Bret enters the picture and the real complications begin. This is Part 2 of Chalene's origin story. Make sure you're subscribed and watch for Part 3, because the cliffhanger is very real.

MEET US LIVE IN CHICAGO! LEARN MORE! www.cre8tivecon.com What if this year is not about becoming someone new but about becoming a stronger, more intentional version of who you already are? In this reflective solo episode of the Get Obsessed Podcast, host Julie Lokun, JD shares a powerful mindset shift for high achievers who feel overwhelmed by hustle culture, endless goal setting, and the pressure to constantly do more. Julie reflects on the magic of the holidays through childhood eyes, the reality of adulthood responsibility, and the moment she realized that more goals did not equal more joy. Instead of embracing the tired phrase New Year, New You, she invites listeners to focus on intentional living rooted in clarity, energy protection, and alignment. This episode is for entrepreneurs, creatives, leaders, and high performers who are ready to stop doing more and start doing what truly matters. What You Will Learn in This Episode Julie explains why New Year, New You is a myth and how New Year, Same You but Stronger creates sustainable momentum. She walks through the power of choosing one personal goal and one professional goal and how this approach reduces overwhelm while increasing fulfillment. Listeners will learn why protecting physical and emotional energy is a non negotiable and how saying no without overexplaining creates freedom. Julie also addresses why rest and sleep are essential for clarity, creativity, and long term success. On the professional side, Julie shares what it means to amplify fewer voices more powerfully. She explains why going deeper instead of wider creates exponential results and how aligned energy between collaborators is the foundation of meaningful growth. Intentional Living and Honoring Your Season This episode invites listeners to ask a critical question: What season of life am I in? Julie encourages integration over pressure and reminds listeners that growth does not need to happen on a single day. She emphasizes honoring the lessons learned from the past year and recognizing resilience, even when healing feels incomplete. The Proof of Life Mindset Julie introduces the concept of a proof of life list, a practice of acknowledging moments when you showed up despite adversity. Whether navigating relationship changes, health challenges, financial stress, or professional uncertainty, surviving counts and deserves recognition. Relationships Over Algorithms Julie shares why some of her most meaningful opportunities came from conversations rather than content. By dialing down social media and prioritizing real relationships, she found deeper connection and greater professional impact. Expansion, Curiosity, and Beginner's Brain Listeners are encouraged to say yes to growth without pressure. Julie explores the idea of expansion through curiosity, new conversations, and experiences that place you back into beginner's brain, a concept she learned from Jim Kwik. Planning Joy on Purpose If joy is not scheduled, stress will be. Julie challenges listeners to plan joy intentionally, whether through small moments of play, creativity, rest, or connection. Joy is not a reward. It is a requirement.

What if everything you thought about branding was missing the real asset underneath? What if the most powerful driver of growth in your business isn't your product, your pricing, or your marketing spend? In this episode of World's Greatest Business Thinkers, Nick Hague speaks with David Aaker, widely regarded as the father of modern branding, to unpack why brand equity and not awareness is the real strategic asset behind sustainable growth. David explains how the Five B's framework elevates branding from a cost centre to a core business discipline, why relevance beats visibility in crowded markets, and how leaders can resist short-term thinking while navigating AI-driven disruption. David makes his points with real-world examples from Uniqlo to Dove, to highlight how brand building creates a lasting competitive advantage. What You Will Learn: How to shift brand thinking from expense to asset The Five B's Framework for modern brand building Why brand relevance trumps brand awareness in today's crowded marketplace How to use cognitive anchors to cut through communication clutter The critical role of branding in disruptive innovation How to avoid the purpose-washing trap and build authentic brand energizers   If you enjoyed this episode, make sure to subscribe, rate, and review it on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and YouTube Podcasts. Instructions on how to do this are here.   David Aaker Bio David Aaker, called the "Father of Modern Branding" by Philip Kotler, is Vice Chairman at Prophet, a global growth consultancy, and one of the world's foremost authorities on brand strategy. A Professor Emeritus at UC Berkeley's Haas School of Business, he created foundational models, including the Aaker Brand Vision Model. Inducted into the American Marketing Association Hall of Fame, Aaker has authored 18 bestselling books translated into 18 languages and continues to advise, teach, and speak globally on building strong brands.   Quotes: "Everybody was trying to increase market share, and never mind how you did it, never mind how you damaged brands, but that's what you did. They destroyed brands. They achieved no growth, and they destroyed profits. So at the end of the eighties, people kind of were looking around the strategies, the top managers were saying, it's not working, and we need something else." "What I did was to add brand loyalty to the concept of brand equity, and that really changed everything because brand loyalty involves the whole customer journey. It involves all the R and D and so forth. It involves segmentation, and it involves all elements of business strategy. So that meant that there was now a seat at the executive table for marketing." "The first B is the fact that brands are equity. It's not something that is a communication task. You're building up an asset that you will use to leverage to build future growth. Brand relevance is a much more strategic concept because you no longer have to just be visible; you have to be visible in a certain context and be credible as well." "Virtually the only way to grow is with disruptive innovation. It's the most extreme form of differentiation, which we know has been a driver forever. Branding is absolutely essential for disruptive innovation to prosper and succeed, and it has four jobs to do. The first job is to position the new disruptive innovation and tell customers why they should go to this disruption instead of what they used to do."   Episode Resources: David Aaker on LinkedIn Prophet Website  Nick Hague on LinkedIn World's Greatest Business Thinkers on Apple Podcasts World's Greatest Business Thinkers on Spotify World's Greatest Business Thinkers on YouTube

On this episode of Destination on the Left, I'm at the NTA Travel Exchange in Ottawa to speak with eight leading professionals shaping the future of group travel, tourism, and hospitality. You'll hear insights from leaders who share the latest market trends, traveler behaviors, innovative approaches, and what's ahead for 2026. The conversations explore the strong resurgence of group tours, the rise of small group and multi-generational travel, and a growing demand for immersive, meaningful experiences—from stargazing in Utah to luxury train journeys. You'll discover how industry partnerships and collaborations, such as inter-association alliances and joint destination marketing efforts, are helping operators adapt to challenges and seize new opportunities. In this episode, you'll hear from these knowledgeable tourism leaders: Vince Accardi: https://www.linkedin.com/in/vince-accardi-cae-15890033/ Wendy Dobrzynski: https://www.linkedin.com/in/wendy-dobrzynski-9604851/ Chad Ellis: https://www.linkedin.com/in/chad-ellis-8227611b0/ Jeff Bont: linkedin.com/in/jeff-bont-832a7513 Richard Arnold: https://www.linkedin.com/in/richard-arnold-597ab536/ Brenna Moore: https://www.linkedin.com/in/brennamoore Jason Murray: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jason-murray-585426219/ Brent Dalrymple: https://www.travelsunrise.com/about/team/brent-dalrymple What You Will Learn in This Episode: How group tours are evolving, including the rise of small-group and multi-generational travel Why immersive and experiential travel is in high demand, with travelers seeking story-rich, active adventures What industry leaders are seeing in terms of major market trends, including a resurgence in demand and travelers' changing expectations How partnerships and collaborations between associations, DMOs, and attractions are strengthening the group travel industry and opening new markets Why upcoming events like the Route 66 Centennial and America's 250th anniversary are shaping new itineraries and driving tour planning for 2026 What challenges operators are facing, such as shifting consumer sentiment and border issues How technology, data, and consumer insights are being used to track travel sentiment and inform future business decisions across the travel sector A New Wave of Group Travelers At this year's NTA Travel Exchange in Ottawa, we bring together a great lineup of industry leaders to discuss key trends, challenges, and innovations set to shape group tourism into 2026 and 2027. From new tour models and demographic shifts to major anniversaries and the rise of experiential itineraries, these insights reveal an industry that's not only recovering but thriving. It's an exciting time for group travel. Both Vince Accardi and Wendy Dobrzynski explain why the "senior" market is no longer a monolithic group—retirees are younger, wealthier, more adventurous, and more interested in curated, comfortable experiences. Buses are once again filling up, often with multi-generational families and smaller groups seeking meaningful, shared adventures. Richard Arnold highlights that small group tours remain in demand, with 2026 departures already selling out. Flexible departure sizes, customized itineraries, and a willingness to split larger busloads into more intimate cohorts are key strategies for operators catering to evolving traveler preferences. Experiential and Immersive Travel Takes Center Stage Today's groups are looking for more than sightseeing, they're after immersive, story-rich experiences. Chad Ellis from Boda Borg Boston shares how activity-based attractions built around collaboration and problem-solving are striking a chord with groups large and small, from school trips to team-building getaways. Jason Murray of Southwest Adventure Tours reports a boom in experiential travel, especially among families booking private adventures to explore the outdoors and the night sky together. His new focus on "astro tourism" with Dark Sky Adventures reflects a growing appetite for education, enrichment, and unique moments under rare night skies. The Power of Partnership If there's one recurring theme, it's the transformative power of partnership. From national associations banding together in support of their members, to innovative cross-state collaborations like Wendy Dobrzynski's Dynamic Destinations, cooperation is helping travel businesses and DMOs expand reach, cut costs, and deliver even better value for travelers. Jeff Bont from Rocky Mountaineer and Canyon Spirit illustrates another kind of collaboration, working closely with tour operators and travel agencies to create sell-out trips, leveraging iconic anniversaries like America's 250th and Route 66's centennial for compelling, themed itineraries.

You'll hear the hilarious, real-life story of how one simple video earned me just $150 but has been used countless times by a major company, forcing me to rethink my true worth. Uncover the emotional journey all content creators face—from Imposter Syndrome to the "cringey stage"—and why mastering your own message is "King" before you even think about outsourcing your content. Find out the smart way to test your big idea (like writing a book or creating a new offer) and how you can prime your audience for a successful launch before you've even finished the product. Learn the single most powerful strategy I used to sell out my first in-person event, and why taking a simple step before you launch anything will eliminate your anxiety and boost your confidence.   Don't forget to look out for the next two parts of this series where I'll dive into more internal, uncomfortable, but incredibly valuable lessons I learned this year!

Financial advisors often begin the year energized, organized, and committed to ambitious goals. Yet, by March, many find their plans stalling—not because of a lack of motivation, but because of a lack of true accountability.

On this episode of Destination on the Left, I talk with Erin Groh, Head of Marketing at iSeatz, a leading but often behind-the-scenes travel tech company powering loyalty programs for brands like American Express, IHG Hotels & Resorts, and Qantas. Erin shares her fascinating career journey from traditional and digital media through to travel technology, illustrating how influencer marketing, social media, and travel tech are now converging to reshape the modern travel experience. Listeners will find out why today's travelers are prioritizing dream trips—even if it means rebalancing their budgets, how social media now influences every step of the travel decision-making funnel, and the evolving expectations around personalization, including what travelers are willing to share for better experiences. What You Will Learn in This Episode: How iSeatz powers major brands like American Express and Delta's travel loyalty programs What the iSeatz Modern Traveler Report reveals about travelers' motivations and how budget constraints impact trip decisions How travelers are rebalancing their spending, cutting back on dining and shopping in favor of travel experiences Why social media and influencer marketing have become leading sources of travel inspiration and purchase decisions, especially among Gen Z and Millennials What "value" really means to today's travelers, and how expectations for personalization in travel are evolving How sustainability is shaping travel choices and what the industry can do to make sustainable options easier for consumers Technology-Powered Loyalty Programs Most travelers may not recognize iSeatz by name, but they've likely interacted with its technology. Erin explains how iSeatz works behind the scenes with iconic brands like American Express, Delta, and IHG Hotels and Resorts, powering the platforms that make booking and redeeming travel rewards seamless. As the connectivity layer, iSeatz enables partnerships, keeps loyalty programs fresh, and continually adapts to new technologies and consumer expectations. Collaborative relationships between travel brands and tech providers aren't just helpful, they're essential, especially when consumer demands and industry dynamics are rapidly evolving. Today's travelers expect fluid, rewarding experiences, and companies have to innovate to keep pace. Dream Trips Are Non-Negotiable One of the most striking findings of The iSeatz Modern Traveler Report is the traveler's commitment to making dream trips happen—even when budgets are tight. According to Erin, only 9% of survey respondents said they'd give up on a dream trip due to cost. Instead, the majority would wait and save, seek more affordable options, or cut back in other areas of their spending. This aligns with a broader trend, post-pandemic revenge travel wasn't just a blip; it's part of a sustained shift toward prioritizing experiences over material goods. Spending priorities have also evolved, travelers would rather cut back on dining out or shopping if it means affording a meaningful trip. Data shows year-over-year growth in travel spending for several consecutive years. The desire for shared memories and adventure continues to outweigh the allure of consumer goods. Value and Personalization Define the Modern Experience Price isn't always the most important thing when it comes to travel, value now encompasses the entire experience—meeting expectations, comfort, relaxation, wellness, and safety. Travelers increasingly splurge on nicer hotels or premium flight experiences if they perceive real value in the investment. Over half of travelers expect brands to anticipate their needs based on past interactions, and a similar proportion are willing to share more personal data to enable a smoother, more tailored journey. The challenge (and opportunity) lies in connecting the dots by using the right data to surface relevant recommendations, like family-friendly activities, sustainable options, or dietary preferences, rather than missing the mark with generic suggestions.

TikTok reshapes the way people talk about bodies, beauty, and wellness. What looks like gentle self care often hides restrictive eating patterns, thinness pressure, and aesthetic rules that reward shrinking. In this episode, Dr. Marianne Miller explores how TikTok rebrands diet culture by disguising restriction inside trends like “anti bloat,” “glow up,” “clean girl body,” and “body recomposition.” Dr. Marianne explains why these trends spread quickly, why they create a strong pull for people with eating disorders, and why neurodivergent viewers may feel especially drawn to routines that promise control or calm. She describes how glow up narratives romanticize disappearance and how thinness becomes a transformation story. You will learn how to identify coded diet language and how to stay grounded while moving through online spaces that promote harmful messaging. What You Will Learn in This Episode 1. How TikTok Rebrands Diet Culture Dr. Marianne explains how “anti bloat” routines and glow up challenges present restriction as wellness. She highlights how these messages look soft and soothing even though they pressure people to shrink and control their bodies. 2. How Coded Restriction Language Shows Up Online You will learn how creators use soothing audio, soft visuals, and vague terms to disguise patterns that mirror disordered eating. Dr. Marianne names the phrases that quietly promote thinness. 3. Why Neurodivergent Viewers and People With Eating Disorders Feel Drawn In Structured routines and visuals can feel comforting or predictable. Dr. Marianne describes how this pull can feel stronger for neurodivergent listeners or anyone living with long-term food struggles. 4. How Glow-Up Culture Romanticizes Shrinking Dr. Marianne explores how glow up narratives frame thinness as success, transformation, or emotional strength. These stories reward disappearance and pressure people to strive for smaller bodies. 5. Intersectionality and Harmful Messaging Dr. Marianne names the ways thinness aesthetics reinforce cultural pressures for people in larger bodies, people of color, neurodivergent individuals, transgender and nonbinary people, and anyone who already experiences scrutiny or marginalization. 6. How to Strengthen Your Relationship With TikTok You will learn practical strategies to identify harmful patterns, curate your feed, follow body liberation voices, and stay centered in your own needs while using the platform. Content Caution This episode includes discussion of thinness trends, restrictive routines, and coded dieting messages on TikTok. If you feel overwhelmed or activated, please pause and return when you feel grounded. Who This Episode Supports This episode supports: • people recovering from eating disorders • neurodivergent listeners who feel drawn to routines or calming visuals • people in larger bodies who feel erased by glow up narratives • trauma survivors who feel pulled toward control-based content • clinicians, parents, and helpers who want to understand the pressures their clients or teens face online • anyone curious about how diet culture hides inside wellness language Resources Listeners may find support through: • body liberation and fat liberation educators • research on social media and disordered eating • neurodivergent-affirming eating disorder resources • trauma-informed recovery frameworks Related Episode SkinnyTok & Anorexia: How Harmful Trends Thrive Despite TikTok's Ban with Jen Tomei @askjenup on Apple and Spotify.

This week, JP taps in with Buddy's Bodega — one of the most respected, influential, and culture-setting cannabis delivery brands in New York City. In a city where the market has always been fast, loud, and unpredictable, Buddy's stood out by doing the opposite: staying consistent, staying reliable, and keeping nothing but high-quality product in rotation. They didn't just deliver — they set a new standard for what NYC cannabis could be.Before legalization, Buddy's Bodega built their reputation the hard way: through trust, authentic connections, and always showing up with the kind of heat New Yorkers weren't used to getting on demand. They bridged West Coast quality with East Coast hustle, and their brand quickly became synonymous with your favorite plug's plug.Now, as New York's legal market continues to evolve, Buddy's remains one of the few legacy-born brands navigating this new era without losing their identity. They've stayed tapped in with the culture, stayed committed to quality, and stayed moving smarter as the industry shifts around them.This episode dives into the Buddy's origin story, their impact on the New York cannabis scene, and what it really takes to build a respected delivery empire in the most competitive city in the world.⸻

Welcome to another engaging episode of Build a Better Agency! This week, host Drew McLellan turns the spotlight inward to tackle a challenge many agency owners face but rarely confront: the chaos we unintentionally create within our own shops. Joined by productivity expert and business coach Amber De La Garza, this episode dives deep into the subtle ways agency leaders can become the source of their business's dysfunction—and, most importantly, how they can flip the script to become the calming force their teams need. Amber De La Garza brings years of hands-on coaching across diverse service industries, helping business owners recognize how their habits, decisions, and leadership styles ripple throughout their organizations. Together, she and Drew McLellan explore common pitfalls like inconsistent follow-through, the lure of firefighting, and the temptation to solve every problem yourself. They shed light on how these behaviors not only breed chaos but also undermine team empowerment and erode trust. Throughout their conversation, you'll hear actionable strategies for spotting and addressing the habits and leadership gaps that fuel ongoing fires. Amber De La Garza shares practical tools—from tracking your time (spoiler: you're spending it differently than you think!) to identifying recurring symptoms in your business and asking the all-important question: "How am I responsible for this?" The episode also encourages agency leaders to carve out sacred time for big-picture thinking and to support their teams in becoming more self-sufficient problem solvers.   Don't miss this episode if you're ready to break the cycle of crisis mode, build a steadier agency environment, and reclaim the freedom and satisfaction that inspired you to start your business in the first place.

On this episode of Destination on the Left, I talk with Oliver Winter, CEO and Founder of a&o Hostels, for an inspiring conversation about his entrepreneurial journey, from traveling on a shoestring budget to building one of the largest hostel brands in the world. We talk about his focus on being a cost leader, not a price leader, and how that translates to a guest experience that works for small pockets while still serving the needs of his guests. Oliver also shares his passion for sustainability and how his company has been able to move from an 18-kilogram per guest carbon footprint to just a 3.8-kilogram per guest carbon footprint. What You Will Learn in This Episode: How Oliver turned his personal travel experiences into founding one of the largest hostel brands in Europe Why being a cost leader (rather than just a price leader) shapes a&o Hostels' unique value proposition and guest experience What makes the hostel guest experience distinctive, especially in terms of shared spaces, social atmosphere, and accommodation variety How a&o Hostels attracts diverse customer segments―from student groups to families, digital nomads, and backpackers―and the distribution strategies that work for them Why sustainability became a central focus for a&o Hostels, and how they've reduced their carbon footprint by over 80% per guest overnight What's next for a&o Hostels, including the big announcement of a new luxury budget brand to extend their reach and serve evolving traveler needs Creating Value Without Compromise One of the cornerstone philosophies for a&o Hostels is being a "cost leader," not just a "price leader." This means that they streamline operations and get rid of unnecessary frills while keeping the essentials, like comfort and safety, readily accessible. The hostels boast large capacities (an average of 800 beds per location), centralized operations, and shared facilities, striking a balance between affordability and a vibrant, social guest experience. Rather than confining the traveler's experience to private rooms, a&o focuses on engaging common areas, such as 24/7 bars, kids' zones, and flexible working spaces. These communal amenities give great opportunities for people to connect, appealing to families, digital nomads, student groups, and backpackers. The model values shared spaces over luxury and, in doing so, builds community. Evolving Guest Profiles and Modern Distribution Channels a&o Hostels caters to a wide range of guests, with profiles shifting based on season and day of the week. Midweek guests are often student groups and school tours, while weekends and holidays attract families and independent travelers. The brand is found on major OTAs like Booking.com and Expedia, but has also cultivated a strong direct booking channel via their own website. The flexibility in room types, from single or twin rooms for teachers and families to dorm-style accommodations for groups, further enhances their accessibility. This adaptable approach enables a&o to welcome anyone from school-aged travelers to budget-conscious business guests. Sustainability as a Core Company Value Beginning in 2015, Oliver and his team took a pioneering approach by closely tracking and reducing their carbon footprint per guest. Initially, a&o's footprint was already lower than average (18kg CO₂e per overnight stay, compared to 25kg at home), primarily thanks to shared spaces and efficient building use. But instead of settling, a&o set their sights higher. Through targeted operational changes—reducing waste, switching to renewable energy contracts, limiting disposables, and leveraging automation—they slashed their footprint by 80% to just 3.8kg per guest. What's more, many sustainability initiatives actually resulted in cost savings, debunking the myth that going green is always expensive.

Welcome to a transformative solo episode of Build a Better Agency! This week, host Drew McLellan invites listeners to reframe how they view uncertainty, chaos, and change in the agency world. Drawing from both scientific research and personal stories—including a gripping childhood encounter with real fear—Drew McLellan explores why agencies feel paralyzed by unpredictability, and more importantly, how leaders can move beyond fear to thrive in today's rapidly shifting landscape. Listeners will discover why uncertainty is baked into agency life, why our brains crave control, and why periods of upheaval—from economic turmoil and technological breakthroughs to social unrest—can actually be seen as fertile ground for growth and innovation. Drew McLellan champions the concept of a "perpetual renaissance," encouraging agency leaders to harness rather than resist continual change and to build their businesses on adaptability, creativity, and community. Throughout the episode, Drew McLellan underscores the power of belonging and reciprocal support, likening the AMI community to a network of redwoods—each agency strengthened by connection with others. He shares actionable advice on showing up as both a teacher and a student in industry salons, generously exchanging knowledge and resources so everyone thrives amid uncertainty. Insights from neuroscience, evolutionary biology, and agency research come together with practical wisdom to reveal how leading through chaos isn't about control, but about learning to ride the storm—together. Don't miss this deeply encouraging and practical episode, especially if you're looking for ways to put fear aside and become the agency clients seek out for guidance and innovation. By embracing the value of community and the inevitability of change, you'll gain a new perspective on how to master—and even enjoy—the wild ride ahead. Join the conversation, connect with the AMI salon, and help shape the future of your agency in 2026 and beyond. A big thank you to our podcast's presenting sponsor, White Label IQ.
