How To NAIL The First 10 Sec Of A Cold Call

Ever tried to make a seemingly straightforward family decision (something that should be easy) only to feel the tension rise, opinions harden, and lines get drawn? You're not imagining it. In blended families, decisions can feel like loyalty tests.In this episode, we walk through a realistic scenario with a blended couple facing a decision dilemma: Do we prioritize a new experience that one side of the family is excited about… or protect a familiar tradition the other side values deeply? And that's where things get complicated. Because it's often not really about the decision itself. It's about what the decision represents: loyalty and priority.That's when a hurtful pattern shows up that we call a Tenuous Triad:One parent becomes the Trapped Teammate (torn between spouse and kids),Their spouse becomes the Stranded Stranger (feeling unheard, powerless, devalued, overlooked),And the children become Confounded Kiddos (confused, unsettled, and often emotionally loud as they express what they want).And once that triad forms, couples can get stuck in predictable traps:Impatience (“Why can't we just move forward?”)Fear and guilt (“My kids are hurting and I'm to blame if they're disappointed.”)Lack of empathy (“You don't get what this means to them.”)Lack of unity (“We aren't leading together.”)Parent-child allegiance (“I have to side with my kids.”)Our goal is to help you name what's happening so you can stop reacting to surface-level conflict and start leading from a place of clarity and unity.You'll DiscoverWhat a Tenuous Triad is and why it often forms around everyday decisionsHow the Trapped Teammate / Stranded Stranger / Confounded Kiddos dynamic can quickly create biological “sides” in the home and ongoing disconnection, resentment, and hurtHow to shift from reaction and contention to calm, united leadership as a coupleResources from this Episode:Simple Step Episode: Managing Loyalties & Priorities in Your HomeEpisode 59.

The crew listen back to their favorite quotes form yesterday's radio row interviews. They debate why they have confidence in the Pats and more!

In this episode of The Intelligent Vocalist, John challenges the idea that confidence is a feeling or belief you either have or do not have. He explores the importance of rebuilding the relationship with one's voice, focusing on functional behaviors that define confidence, and the role of attention control in singing. Confidence grows when you focus on what you do, not how you feel.   Episode highlights: The relationship with the voice often fails before the voice itself. Confident singers separate information from identity. Recognizing wins is essential for building confidence.   To learn more about John Henny, his best-selling books, on-line courses, Voiceschool.com featuring his Teaching Team of Experts, Speaker Training and the Contemporary Voice Teacher Academy, visit: JohnHenny.com

Rebecca Geshuri, therapist and co-author of the new book When Good Moms Feel Bad joins me to talk about why so many "good moms" still feel overwhelmed, reactive, or stuck in cycles of guilt, anger, and self-criticism.   Together we explore:   - Drawing from Internal Family Systems (IFS) Rebecca breaks down what "parts work" is and how understanding your inner parts can reduce reactivity and shame. - How polarization between "what my child needs" and "what I need" fuels burnout and emotional overwhelm. - Why parenting feels hardest when younger, protective parts take over. - What the "inner mom" is and how learning to access this part of yourself builds calm, confidence, and connection. - A simple framework to slow down in triggering moments and respond with more compassion. - How self-compassion and nervous system awareness support secure attachment — for both you and your child.   If you've been feeling overwhelmed and burnt out in parenthood, this episode offers validation, language for what you're experiencing, and practical tools to help you feel more grounded, regulated, and connected.       LEARN MORE ABOUT MY GUEST:

I sat down with Calvin Correli, founder of Simplero, an all-in-one platform that's generated over $857 million for creators, to unpack why scaling often feels heavier instead of lighter.Calvin operates from a single premise: your business is a reflection of your inner code. And when that code is off, no system, automation, or AI workflow will fix the friction. We explored the Founder Identity Trap—the subconscious patterns that quietly turn founders into bottlenecks, fuel burnout, and keep teams from operating at full strength.This conversation goes far beyond tools. We talk about why successful founders still feel dissatisfied, how overcomplicating systems masks deeper issues, and what actually creates clarity, leverage, and sustainable growth. If you've invested in better systems, smarter automation, or AI-driven operations—and something still feels misaligned—this episode will give you language, insight, and a practical framework to address the real constraint.If you're a coach, consultant, or service provider tired of being the systems janitor, Calvin invites you to explore Simplero at simplero.com.

I get my blood work done every 90 days and I swear it's the ultimate tip for health in the short term and in the long term and just feeling your best on he daily. So, today I'm going to try to convince you to do the same. Because there is a huge difference between being "not sick" and being truly healthy and if you aren't getting your bloodwork done at least once a year, you really don't know what's going on. Most people only get blood work done when something is wrong. When they feel bad. When they are exhausted. When a symptom won't go away. When a doctor orders it because something already happened. Instead of doing it reactively, we are talking about doing it proactively. How can you know what your body needs? What supplements or adjustments to your lifestyle… it's almost impossible without bloodwork. It tells you how your hormones are functioning. How inflamed your body is. How well you are absorbing nutrients. How your cholesterol is trending. How stressed your nervous system is. How your metabolism is working. How your immune system is functioning. Today's episode is about why doing blood work every 90 days can completely change your relationship with your health, how the top longevity experts think about tracking biomarkers, how it helps you personalize supplements and lifestyle instead of guessing, and how it allows you to catch problems early before they become a real problem.  Let's go! Your blood work is your internal dashboard. It's crazy that most people are driving their body blind!! I do full blood work every 90 days and I swear by it.  I'm going to break it all down today. Every 90 days I sit down with my functional medicine doctor, Dr. Singler, and we go through everything. We look at what's trending up. What's trending down. What needs support. What needs to be addressed. We adjust supplements. We talk about lifestyle changes. We sometimes talk about peptides. We look at stress markers like cortisol. We look at hormones. We look at inflammation. We look at cholesterol. We look at nutrient deficiencies. It's not just "do you have a disease." It's "what is your body asking for." And that quarterly check-in has become one of the most powerful forms of self-care I do. Today's episode is about why doing blood work every 90 days can completely change your relationship with your health, how the top longevity experts think about tracking biomarkers, how it helps you personalize supplements and lifestyle instead of guessing, and how it allows you to catch problems early before they become diagnoses. Because knowledge is power. And when it comes to your health, awareness is leverage. ***Why the Best Health and Longevity Experts Obsess Over Biomarkers When you listen to people like Peter Attia, Andrew Huberman, and leaders in longevity medicine, one theme is constant. You can't manage what you don't measure. They talk constantly about biomarkers. Blood markers. Hormones. Cholesterol. Glucose. Inflammation. Nutrients. Stress markers. Not because numbers are the goal. Because trends tell the truth. You don't need to wait until something is "out of range" to take action. You can see patterns forming. You can see directions your health is moving. You can intervene early. Longevity is not built by reacting to disease. Longevity is built by managing risk decades before disease shows up. Blood work lets you see inside the body instead of guessing from the outside. Energy, mood, sleep, weight, anxiety, motivation, focus, hormones, immune function… all of it leaves fingerprints in your labs. *** Why Every 90 Days Is a Sweet Spot Doing blood work every 90 days creates a rhythm. It's long enough for meaningful changes to occur. It's short enough to catch problems early. It's frequent enough to personalize your approach. This cadence allows you to: • See how supplements are actually working • Know if lifestyle changes are helping • Track hormones as they shift • Monitor cholesterol trends • Watch inflammation markers • Identify deficiencies before symptoms • See how stress is impacting your body It turns health into an ongoing relationship instead of a once-a-year appointment. Rather than living on autopilot, it becomes a quarterly check-in. "How is my body actually doing?" "What does it need right now?" "What needs to change?" ***The Power of Baselines One of the most underrated benefits of regular blood work is baselines. When you know what your normal looks like, everything changes. If something shifts, you see it faster. If you get sick, you have something to compare to. If symptoms show up, you're not starting from zero. Your baseline becomes your personal health fingerprint. This is especially powerful with hormones, thyroid, cholesterol, inflammatory markers, glucose, and nutrient levels. Medicine is often built around population averages. But health is personal. Your optimal range is not always the same as "normal." Blood work every 90 days teaches you your body. ***Personalization Instead of Guessing Most people take supplements blindly. They try what's trending. What a friend is taking. What TikTok says. What an ad promises. Blood work removes guessing. You stop throwing things at your body and hoping. You start making informed decisions. When I review labs with my doctor, we are not just looking for problems. We are optimizing. We adjust supplements based on what my body is actually showing. We talk about hormones. We talk about stress. We talk about sleep. We talk about hydration. We talk about inflammation. We talk about recovery. If cortisol is elevated, the conversation shifts to lifestyle, nervous system, sleep, slowing down, hydration, sauna, recovery. If something is low, we talk about absorption, nutrition, and targeted support. It becomes a dialogue with your body instead of a guessing game. ***Emotional Health Lives in the Labs Too This is not just physical. Your labs often reflect your emotional and mental load. Stress hormones. Inflammation. Blood sugar instability. Nutrient depletion. Your body keeps the receipts. Blood work gives you objective data to support lifestyle changes. Sometimes the answer is not another supplement. Sometimes it's rest. Sleep. Boundaries. Sunlight. Movement. Slowing down. It's incredibly empowering to see that connection clearly. It turns self-care into strategy, not indulgence. ***How I Do It and How You Could Do It The way I do it is higher touch and more expensive. I use a mobile blood draw that comes to my house. Then I schedule a long call with my functional medicine doctor to go through everything. We take our time. We look at the full picture. We build a plan. But you do not have to do it that way. You can ask your doctor to order labs. You can go to a clinic and make an appointment so you're not waiting forever. You can get a basic panel and build from there. You can even upload your results into ChatGPT and use it as an educational tool to help you understand what the markers mean and what questions to ask your doctor. This doesn't have to be complicated. It just has to be consistent. ***Why This Is One of the Best Investments You Can Make We spend money on convenience. On clothes. On food. On homes. On trips. On businesses. But nothing affects the quality of your life more than the quality of your health. Energy. Mood. Confidence. Focus. Longevity. Relationships. Joy. Blood work every 90 days is not an expense. It is intelligence. It is prevention. It is personalization. It is early detection. It is self-leadership. It is saying, "I care about how long I live and how well I live." ***Most people wait for symptoms to tell them something is wrong. But by the time symptoms show up, your body has usually been whispering for a long time. Blood work lets you hear the whispers. It lets you see trends before problems. Adjust before crashes. Support before burnout. Correct before disease. For me, doing blood work every 90 days has become a quarterly health check-in with myself. How am I really doing? What does my body need? What needs to change? What needs support? It keeps me connected to my health instead of disconnected from it. And I truly believe this is one of the most powerful forms of preventative self-care anyone can adopt. So if you take anything from this episode, let it be this. Don't wait for something to go wrong.  Start tracking your health while things are going right. There's nothing more important or worth spending your time and money on!

4 Crucial Life Skills I Wish Someone Taught Me In My 20s

A powerful story of unconditional love, biblical wisdom, and transformational parenting on The VIBE Podcast with Kelly Cardenas. In this emotional and motivational episode, Kelly shares how his mother's simple words — “I'd love you even with poop on your face” — carried life-changing wisdom rooted in Proverbs 31.Growing up, I gave my mom plenty of reasons to quit on me.My name on the board with checkmarks.Detention.Coming home late.Not doing homework.Bad grades.Procrastination.Stupid financial decisions.Horrible music.Silly brushes with the law.And some truly bad judgment.And through it all… she loved me anyway.We used to laugh every time she said she'd love me even with poop on my face. But only now — as a parent — do I realize the profound strength packed inside that one sentence.That wasn't just humor.That was wisdom.That was perseverance.That was unconditional love in action.My mom wasn't beating me with the Bible or preaching sermons at me.She was living Proverbs 31 every single day.She modeled:Confidence.Hard work.Wisdom.Prudence.Honor.Ingenuity.Perseverance.Beauty of character.And because of her character, our family was built on respect, resilience, and reverence.The true power of a mother isn't just what she says — it's what she endures with love and grace.She didn't just promise she'd love me through my mess…She proved it.This episode of The VIBE Podcast is for anyone who's ever felt imperfect but deeply loved — and for parents who are building foundations that will last generations.

You can't change what you don't feel.Ever notice how fast anger shows up the moment you realize you messed up?You cut someone off in traffic.You miss something obvious at work.Your partner calls you out—and suddenly you're defensive, pissed, explaining, blaming, or shutting down.This episode of The Evolved Caveman Podcast is about that moment—the split second when your body reacts before your character ever gets a vote.Here's the uncomfortable truth most men were never taught:Those reactions aren't a failure of willpower, maturity, or intelligence.They're nervous system reflexes.In this episode, Dr. John Schinnerer breaks down why being “wrong” often feels like a threat to survival, how your fight–flight–freeze–fawn responses hijack your behavior, and why “just calm down” has never worked (and never will). You'll learn how shame disguises itself as anger, logic, withdrawal, or people-pleasing—and what's actually happening inside your body when it does.This isn't therapy-speak or pop psychology.It's real-world, practical clarity for men who want self-mastery instead of self-judgment.Inside the episode: - Why mistakes register as danger in the nervous system - The 3 protective states that drive defensiveness, shutdown, and people-pleasing - How to spot when you're reacting from self-protection instead of choice - What secure, grounded responses actually sound like in real life - A simple, actionable reset practice you can use in the moment - The golden rule: Regulate first. Repair second. Explain last (or never).If you care about your relationships, your leadership, or the kind of man you are under pressure, this episode is essential listening.Because emotional maturity isn't about never screwing up.It's about being able to tolerate being wrong—without attacking yourself or anyone else.Listen in. Sit with it. Notice your patterns this week—not to fix them, but to understand them.That's where real change begins.Want a Higher Baseline of Calm, Confidence, and Control? Start Here…

Most days, you're going to see a shadow. The question isn't whether it shows up. It's what you do when it does. Show Notes In this episode of Shark Theory, Baylor breaks down the lesson hidden inside Groundhog Day and why most people stay stuck longer than they need to. Using the familiar story of the groundhog seeing his shadow and retreating underground, Baylor explains how many people approach adversity the same way. They wake up hopeful, see a reminder of a mistake, a setback, or a hard truth, and immediately retreat. They tell themselves it's not the right time, that they'll try again later, or that the conditions aren't perfect. But humans have a third option. Instead of waiting for a perfect day with no shadows, Baylor challenges listeners to face the shadow head-on. Because most days in life include adversity, discomfort, or reminders of past failures. And hiding from those moments only delays growth, progress, and peace. When you finally face what you've been avoiding, you often realize it isn't nearly as powerful as you imagined. The shadow loses its grip. Confidence grows. Momentum returns. Spring doesn't come faster by hiding. It comes when you decide to step into the light anyway. What You'll Learn in This Episode Why most people retreat when adversity shows up How shadows represent unaddressed mistakes and fears The danger of waiting for "perfect conditions" Why facing problems shortens the season you're stuck in How confidence is built by confrontation, not avoidance Why growth is delayed when you keep going back underground Featured Quote "You don't get to the sunshine by hiding from the shadow. You get there by facing it."

Have you ever stepped into a leadership role and immediately wondered if you were really qualified to be there? If you've ever felt like a fraud, struggled with insecurity, or questioned whether God truly chose you, this episode is for you. In this conversation, we're talking about what it means to lead with confidence even when you don't feel qualified. As Christian women, we often believe the lie that leadership requires perfection, experience, or complete clarity—but God's Word tells a very different story. In this episode, you'll be reminded that your leadership calling is rooted in God's purpose, not your performance. We'll walk through powerful biblical truths that help you overcome feelings of inadequacy, silence imposter syndrome, and step into intentional, faith-filled leadership. In this episode, we cover: Why you are God's handiwork, created for good works He prepared in advance (Ephesians 2:10) How God's grace is sufficient and His power is made perfect in weakness (2 Corinthians 12:9) What it means to be called and chosen by God, not because of your merits but His purpose (2 Timothy 1:9, 1 Peter 2:9) Why true competence and ability come from God, not self-confidence alone (2 Corinthians 3:5–6) How shifting your focus from yourself to Christ brings peace and clarity (Isaiah 26:3) Why God values growth over perfection in your leadership journey (Philippians 1:6) How to take your thoughts captive and replace lies with biblical truth when imposter syndrome shows up If you feel called to more but keep second-guessing yourself, this episode will help you stop shrinking back and start leading with confidence—rooted in truth, anchored in Scripture, and aligned with God's plan.

Affordability is not an abstract debate for American families—it's the defining issue of daily life. Grocery bills, housing costs, energy prices, healthcare, and childcare all shape whether families feel secure or stretched.Families don't become pessimistic out of nowhere. Confidence erodes when planning for the future feels harder, margins feel thinner, and basic economics no longer seem to work in their favor.Meanwhile, leaders on both sides of the aisle are increasingly pointing the finger at free-market capitalism for nearly everything—high prices, inequality, corporate power, even government debt. But what's often labeled “capitalism” today is really a mix of subsidies, bailouts, protectionism, regulatory micromanagement, and monetary manipulation—policies that distort markets rather than allow them to function.True free markets are not chaos or greed. They are a rules-based system built on voluntary exchange, price signals, competition, and accountability. When people are free to trade, build, innovate, and respond to real prices, costs fall and opportunity expands—giving families the freedom to flourish.In today's episode of This Week's Economy, we explore how free-market capitalism supports families, restores dignity through work, and lowers prices to make life more affordable. We'll also examine how these principles apply at the federal, state, and local levels.

There are seasons in leadership when confidence alone is simply not enough. In this episode, we explore what happens when self-belief wavers, pressure increases, or old insecurities resurface — and why Christian leaders need something deeper than confidence to carry them through. This conversation reframes leadership strength through the lens of identity rooted in Christ, not performance, feelings, or external validation. In this episode, we talk about: why confidence rises and falls — but identity in Christ remains steady the difference between leading from self-belief and leading from calling how comparison quietly erodes leadership confidence what it looks like to lead from spiritual grounding instead of emotional swings why identity, not confidence, is the foundation of unshakeable leadership If you've been doing “all the right things” but still feel unsure, overwhelmed, or exposed in leadership, this episode will help you anchor yourself in who God says you are — especially on the days confidence doesn't show up. Your Next Step If self-doubt or insecurity has been shaping how you lead, The Imposter Syndrome Blueprint will help you rebuild confidence from a biblical foundation and lead with clarity, courage, and Christ-anchored strength.

In almost every job interview, there's one question that catches people off guard — not because it's rare, but because most candidates think they already know how to answer it. They don't. This episode begins by revealing that question and how to craft a response that instantly sets you apart. https://www.forbes.com/pictures/lml45mmjg/why-should-i-hire-you-2/?sh=4c5a502c53d8 Robots fascinate us — and that fascination may be leading us into trouble. Even when we know robots are just machines, we instinctively treat them like thinking, feeling beings. We trust them, empathize with them, and sometimes overestimate their intelligence. Eve Herold explains why this happens, the real risks it creates, and how humans can maintain control and clarity as social robots become part of everyday life. She's an award-winning science writer and author of Robots and the People Who Love Them: Holding on to Our Humanity in an Age of Social Robots. (https://amzn.to/3ObcBzb) Most people think confidence is something you either have or you don't — but that assumption may be the problem. According to Viv Groskop, you likely already have more confidence than you realize. The key is knowing how to access it and project it in the moments that matter most. Viv is a writer, comedian, executive coach, and author of Happy High Status: How to Effortlessly Be Confident. (https://amzn.to/3vQYj0h) And finally, an eye exam does far more than determine whether you need glasses or contacts. In many cases, it can reveal early warning signs of serious health conditions you might not otherwise detect.

Hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros break down why “not having enough time” is one of the most common excuses holding ambitious people back. They explain how poor structure, loose deadlines, and unclear standards quietly undermine productivity, focus, and long-term growth. Drawing from years of coaching, business building, and thousands of conversations with high performers, they challenge the belief that more time automatically leads to better results.This episode explores how discipline, intentional constraints, and clear finish lines create momentum, confidence, and consistency in life, health, business, and relationships. If you are tired of feeling behind and ready to operate with greater precision and personal authority, this conversation will reshape how you think about time._______________________Learn more about:Track the Work.

EPISODE 235 In our age of constant comparison, endless opinions, and relentless noise, one of the greatest challenges we face is not deciding what to do, but deciding who to listen to. Trends change. External validation is fleeting. Yet, beneath the surface of all this motion, there exists something far more stable: your North Star. Your North Star is not a goal, a job title, or a destination. Your North Star is an internal compass, a deeply held sense of purpose, values, and direction that remains constant even when circumstances change. Your North Star, is your Intuition. Stephen Lesavich, PhD Your North Star, your Intuition, is your First Sense, what you use before using your other five senses of seeing, hearing, smelling, tasting and touching. Believing in your North Star, your Intuition, is the act of trusting that inner guidance, especially when the path forward feels uncertain. A life guided by your North Star, your Intuition, is be linear, but it is coherent. Over time, seemingly disconnected choices begin to form a pattern. Effort feels purposeful. Resilience deepens. Confidence becomes quieter but more stable. What are practical steps to connect with your own North Star, your Intuition? When you trust that internal compass, your North Star, your Intuition, you move through uncertainty with dignity. You make fewer decisions driven by fear and more driven by meaning. Believing in your North Star, your Intuition, is not about having all the answers. It is about committing to live in relationship with your inner truth, even as it evolves to create a positive impact in your life. That is your real north, your North Star, its your Intuition.
