Winging It On Location – Days 4-6-Helsinki: Our First Sauna, Trendy Coffees and Dancing On The StreetIn this on-location episode of Winging It, I continue the Estonia-to-Finland road trip and spend three packed days exploring Helsinki — a city that quickly became one of my favourite capital cities in Europe.From the ferry across the Gulf of Finland to trendy speciality coffee shops, a free walking tour, and our first proper Finnish sauna experience, this episode captures the atmosphere of Helsinki in real time. I share practical travel tips, food recommendations, transport advice, and the honest reactions that make these live-location episodes feel like you're travelling alongside us.We start with the Viking Line ferry from Tallinn, settle into central Helsinki, and dive straight into the city's café culture. After a crash course in Finnish history on a free walking tour, the trip becomes increasingly local: a Saturday morning ParkRun, doing laundry in a quirky neighbourhood café, and then the highlight of the weekend — a two-hour waterfront sauna session at Löyly.The evening turns into an unexpected night out filled with live music, dancing in a closed-off bar street, and one very unusual encounter involving a stranger with a glass of wine.On the final day, we slow things down with outstanding coffee and brunch before taking the ferry to Suomenlinna, Helsinki's UNESCO-listed sea fortress, for coastal views, cannons, history, and gelato by the water.If you're planning a Helsinki weekend trip, looking for sauna recommendations, or want a mix of food, coffee, nightlife, and history, this episode is packed with ideas and real-world travel insights.Places & Activities MentionedViking Line ferry from Tallinn to HelsinkiHotel Finn (central Helsinki)La Torrefazione specialty coffee caféGreen Cap Tours free walking tourHelsinki Central Library OodiRestaurant Khao Tip (Thai food)Tokoinranta ParkRunCafé Tin Tin Tango (laundry + café stop)Löyly waterfront saunaPute's Bar & PizzaMummotunneli nightlife areaSt George's CaféLazy Fox brunchFerry to SuomenlinnaEsplanadi ParkHelsinki CathedralSenate SquareSupport Winging It Travel PodcastIf you enjoyed this episode:⭐ Leave a 5-star rating or review on your podcast app☕ Support the show at buymeacoffee.com/wingingit

Send us Fan MailAfter 30 years running companies and multiple nine-figure exits, Joel Trammell noticed something no one else was building: software for every function of a business except the one running all of them. In this episode, he breaks down why the CEO seat has operated on instinct for decades, the five things only a CEO can actually do, and how he's built an AI platform designed to finally give CEOs the operating system every other role already has.What You Will LearnYou'll learn why CEO failure follows a predictable pattern, and why founders who scaled by doing everything themselves eventually hit a wall they can't out-work. You'll hear why trust starts with communicating vision clearly rather than control, and why most CEOs are using AI the wrong way entirely. Joel also walks through what he built into Chat CEO - the first AI platform designed specifically for the CEO role - and where he draws the line on what AI should never replace.Timestamps 00:00 - Why the CEO seat has run on instinct for 20+ years 00:55 - The moment Joel realized the role needed a system 02:52 - Why the real CEO challenge is deciding what to do, not how to do it 05:25 - The most common pattern behind CEO failure 06:58 - The five things only a CEO can do 09:49 - Trust, but verify: building a team you don't have to control 13:37 - The stress no one warns you about 15:19 - Why most CEOs are using AI wrong 20:03 - Inside Chat CEO: the first AI platform built for CEOs 25:45 - This or That with Joel Trammell 28:16 - Joel's advice to CEOs chasing their first billion 29:44 - The title of Joel's movieAbout the GuestJoel Trammell has spent over 30 years as a CEO, leading multiple companies to nine-figure exits.

Daily Boost Podcast Never Grow Up August 11, 2026 | Episode 5517 Host: Scott Smith Episode Description It's Wing It Tuesday. I walked in with no notes, warmed up by telling my wife stories over coffee, and I've got a good one for you — a mastermind-level breakthrough that happened on a client call. She's nice. Nice has gotten her everywhere, just like it's gotten you everywhere. But there's another side of her too — the renegade side. What she said about how her company uses that side of her flipped me out, and what she decided to do about it might change how you walk into work tomorrow. Featured Story A client of mine — very high up, very highly paid, very smart — said something that wigged me out. Scott, they weaponize me. They weaponize my skill set and send me out to close the deals. It's why our department succeeds and why my boss keeps his power. She's right. I'd weaponize her in a second. That's what you do with A players. Then she flipped it. She said, I think I need to weaponize myself within the company. Boom. She realized the very thing they pay her for, she'd never once aimed at her own career. We spent the next hour working out what that means — and immediately, she had a thousand ideas. Important Points The nice that got you everywhere has another side. Being influential and impactful is a skill, not a betrayal of it. If your company weaponizes your best skill for its profit, you can aim that same skill at your own career on purpose. Be the nicest person in the room and the most capable one at the same time. That combination opens every door. Memorable Quotes They weaponize your skill set for the company's profit. The breakthrough is deciding to weaponize it for yourself. Be the nicest person in the room and the most dangerous person in the room, all at the same time. That's the renegade. If you don't weaponize your A players, they're going to leave, start a company, and compete against you. Count on it. Scott's Three-Step Approach Name the exact skill your company weaponizes you for — the one they send you out with when the deal has to close. Turn that same skill around on your own career: your boss, upper management, the rooms where your future gets decided. Stay nice and keep it ethical while you do it — the power comes from pairing the renegade with the nicest person around.

The next day I head out to the seaside district of Pirita, visit the Soviet memorials and cemetery, and reflect on how Estonia preserves difficult parts of its past.There's also excellent coffee, cardamom buns, goulash in a bread bowl, jazz at Philly Joe's, and the beginning of a travel obsession that may last the rest of the trip: Monopoly Deal.If you're considering a European city break that feels safer, quieter and less crowded than many of the continent's major capitals, Tallinn might be the perfect choice.In this episode:Exploring Tallinn's Old Town, cafés and bakeriesLearning about Estonia's history on a free walking tourVisiting Soviet memorials and Pirita BeachJazz, wine and final thoughts on Tallinn as a city breakSupport Winging It Travel PodcastIf you enjoyed this episode:⭐ Leave a 5-star rating or review on your podcast app☕ Support the show at buymeacoffee.com/wingingit

Great speakers don't just rehearse what they're going to say. They rehearse how they want their audience to experience it. Yet mention choreography to many speakers and you'll often hear the same concern... "I don't want to look rehearsed." In this episode, I explain why that's one of the biggest myths in public speaking, and how thinking more like an actor or performer can dramatically increase your impact without making you sound scripted. I'll share the four principles I use with my coaching clients to choreograph talks, show you why every movement either strengthens or weakens your message, and explain how to identify the moments in your talk that deserve intentional delivery. Whether you're preparing a keynote, TEDx talk or presentation, this episode will help you create a talk that doesn't just sound better... it feels better to your audience. What you'll discover: • Why performers embrace choreography but speakers often resist it. • The biggest myth about authenticity and rehearsal. • The four principles of choreographing your talk. • How movement, stillness and silence all shape your audience's experience. • Why your audience follows your attention. • The movement addition that turned a story from interesting to mesmerising. • How to identify the three to five moments in your talk that deserve intentional choreography. • The six performance levers you can use to increase impact. • Why rehearsal should be your sandpit of success.

If you're a filmmaker, entrepreneur, writer, podcaster, or creative leader who constantly leaves meetings feeling like nothing was accomplished, this episode is for you. I go over the meeting preparation system I use while developing my animated feature film The Arbiters, including how I organize notes, separate ideas from decisions, create actionable discussion points, and dramatically reduce confusion, revisions, wasted time, and unnecessary costs. Great creative projects aren't built during meetings—they're built through the preparation that happens before everyone sits down together.7-Day Challenge Spend one uninterrupted hour preparing before your next meeting. Write down every issue beforehand. Convert each issue into an actionable question or decision. Notice how much shorter and more productive the meeting becomes.

In this episode of The Missing Secret Podcast, John and Kelly talk about the experience of doing the 12 minute a day advanced leadership of self methodology long-term. What is like on a daily basis versus just winging life. They talk about the effect on the most important relationship in your life. Your relationship with yourself. They talk about the impact it has on career. The impact it has on controlling one's health. The impact it has in one's romantic relationship. They also talked about the impact of this methodology for eliminating the negative inner voice. And they explainwhere the negative inner voice comes from.Buy John's book, THE MISSING SECRET of the Legendary Book Think and Grow Rich : And a 12-minute-a-day technique to apply it here.About the Hosts:John MitchellJohn's story is pretty amazing. After spending 20 years as an entrepreneur, John was 50 years old but wasn't as successful as he thought he should be. To rectify that, he decided to find the “top book in the world” on SUCCESS and apply that book literally Word for Word to his life. That Book is Think & Grow Rich. The book says there's a SECRET for success, but the author only gives you half the secret. John figured out the full secret and a 12 minute a day technique to apply it.When John applied his 12 minute a day technique to his life, he saw his yearly income go to over $5 million a year, after 20 years of $200k - 300k per year. The 25 times increase happened because John LEVERAGED himself by applying science to his life.His daily technique works because it focuses you ONLY on what moves the needle, triples your discipline, and consistently generates new business ideas every week. This happens because of 3 key aspects of the leveraging process.John's technique was profiled on the cover of Time Magazine. He teaches it at the University of Texas' McCombs School of Business, which is one the TOP 5 business schools in the country. He is also the “mental coach” for the head athletic coaches at the University of Texas as well.Reach out to John at john@thinkitbeit.comLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/john-mitchell-76483654/Kelly HatfieldKelly Hatfield is an entrepreneur at heart.

All but the devoted cult can now see it - Trump 2.0 is NOT the same as Trump 1.0. Robert Barnes wakes up to the danger of this administration. Trump is just winging a war. Making things up and saying things before thinking. Not the way to execute a war. It'll be a part of why he's losing.

Episode Summary In this episode of Business Coaching Secrets, Karl Bryan and Road Dog get real about what separates truly elite business coaches from the rest. Karl unpacks the mindsets, systems, and beliefs that drive top coaches—and why persistence, identity, and serving before selling are the real secret weapons. The duo also dive into the controversies around billionaire entrepreneurs like Elon Musk, using them as powerful lessons in mindset, resilience, and value creation. If you want a step-by-step breakdown of what it actually takes to get more coaching clients, boost results, and build confidence (for yourself and your clients), this episode delivers the playbook. Key Topics Covered What Makes an Elite Business Coach Three Levels of Coaches: Hiders (avoidant), Wingers (improvising), and Installers (system-driven). Patterns of Success: Top coaches are "all in," keep it simple, focus on systems, and are resilient in the face of setbacks. Embracing Delayed Gratification: Like treasure hunter Mel Fisher, elite coaches believe in the long-term payoff and stick with it when others quit. Thinking in Percentages: Why tracking improvements as percentages—not raw numbers—is a pro's approach to growth and client results. The Mindset Ladder: From Identity to Lasting Results Winning the Battle in the Locker Room: Your mindset isn't just about positive thinking; it's about upgrading your core identity, beliefs, and values. Identity Drives Performance: What you believe about yourself shapes your daily behaviors and long-term outcomes. Action vs. Self-Sabotage: Without an identity shift, short-term wins won't stick open the door for self-sabotage. Lessons from Elon Musk: Mindset, Reinvestment, and Critics The All-In Mindset: Elon's willingness to risk it all, learn from failure, and reinvest in his vision is a playbook for business coaches. Serving Before Taking: Real wealth is created by solving big problems—focus on value and impact over comfort or luxury. Overcoming Fear, Doubt, and Limiting Stories Change How You Talk to Yourself: The stories you repeat about who you are become your reality. Three Powerful Beliefs: (a) It's possible, (b) I am the person for this, (c) It will be worth it. Don't Practice to Practice—Practice to Improve: 1% better every day creates exponential growth over time. Taking Real Action: "Three Conversations a Day" Empathy Isn't Enough: Are you actually reaching out to business owners in pain, or just feeling bad for them? Three Bone System: Always come prepared with three value bombs for every interaction. Serve from a Place of Love and Urgency: Operate from your deepest "why"—not just sales tactics. Notable Quotes "You just gotta go all in, right? Don't practice to practice. Practice to improve." —Karl Bryan "Optimists run the world. The end." —Karl Bryan "If your why doesn't make them cry, you're not done establishing it." —Karl Bryan "What you say to yourself about yourself when you're by yourself absolutely matters." —Karl Bryan "Empathy is great, but are you going to do anything about it?" —Karl Bryan Actionable Takeaways Pick Your Level: Get honest—are you hiding, winging it, or installing a real system with clients? Choose "installer." Track Progress as Percentages: Frame client wins as percentage improvements for real, motivating progress. Upgrade Your Identity: Audit the stories you tell yourself. Change "I struggle to get leads" to "I'm a person who always finds a way." Practice 1% Better Daily: Focus on continuous improvement rather than perfection. Serve Before You Sell: Make three real, solution-focused conversations daily your habit; lead with value, not desperation. Have Three Value Bombs Ready: Be prepared to drop actionable strategies with every prospect, no matter the direction of the conversation. Operate from Your "Why": Reconnect to the deeper reason you started coaching, and let that urgency propel action and outreach. Don't Let Setbacks Stop You: See obstacles as learning moments, not permanent failures.

Most agents lose listings they should win. Not because of bad presentation. Because they skip pre-qualifying listing appointments entirely and walk in hoping for the best.Winging it is for chumps. I know that sounds harsh. But I was the number one listing agent in South Florida out of 20,000 agents, and I did not get there by improvising. I got there by building a system so practiced that I never had to think about what to say. That freed me up to actually focus on the seller in front of me.Here is what this conversation breaks down:✅ Why pre-qualifying your listing appointments before you arrive is where the yes actually gets built, not in the room✅ The exact real estate listing presentation structure I ran the same way every single time, with every single seller✅ How to use the property walk-through to start assumptive closing before you ever sit down✅ The hierarchy of learning that separates agents who close consistently from agents who practice just enough to feel okay about it✅ Why real estate role play scripts done twice a day, six days a week turned into a level of confidence that no amount of talent can replicate✅ The three-outcome close I used at the end of every real estate listing appointment to remove pressure and manufacture commitment✅ How to pre-qualify sellers in a way that means you already know the answer before you ask for the signature✅ The truth about listing presentation tips you have probably heard before and why most of them skip the part that actually mattersIf you want to get more listings without overhauling your personality or memorizing a brand new pitch, the answer is not a new script. It is a real system. Practiced until it disappears. This is that system.

Most supervisors are comfortable giving feedback. Far fewer have a system for evaluating supervisees.In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Ashley Stephens Durbin to unpack the difference between feedback and formal evaluation, and why that distinction matters more than most supervisors realize.We discuss what happens when concerns are discussed but never documented, why evaluation protects both supervisors and supervisees, and how to build an evaluation process that supports growth without turning supervision into a performance review.We also explore one of the biggest misconceptions in supervision. Many supervisors assume evaluations create tension. In reality, clear expectations and documented feedback often strengthen the supervisory relationship because everyone knows where they stand.Whether you're supervising associates, graduate students, or social workers, this episode will help you create a process that is ethical, practical, and sustainable.In this episode, you'll learn:Why feedback and formal evaluation are not the same thing How documentation protects supervisors, supervisees, and clients What to include in a practical supervisee evaluation process How evaluations create growth plans instead of surprisesIf you've been avoiding evaluations because they feel uncomfortable, this conversation will help you rethink their purpose. Evaluation is not about punishment. It is about creating clarity, accountability, and measurable growth.Want to learn more? Check out this month's free resource from Kate Walker Training. If this episode raised questions about evaluation, documentation, supervision contracts, or difficult conversations with supervisees, those are exactly the conversations we continue inside the Step It Up Membership. You'll find practical tools, ethical guidance, and a community of supervisors working to build supervision practices that are structured, compliant, and designed for growth.Get your step by step guide to private practice. Because you are too important to lose to not knowing the rules, going broke, burning out, and giving up. #counselorsdontquit.

Perfectionists and the kids who didn't even prepare got the same test scores, and that should change how you think about your business.  Get full show notes at www.consciousedge.com/ep103 Instagram:@aleciastg If you saw yourself in this episode, the next step is a conversation. Book your Capacity Assessment Call at consciousedge.com/capacity.  After volunteering at her daughter's Science Olympiad state competition, Alecia spent hours grading tests and noticed three distinct patterns. The perfectionists who only answered questions they were absolutely certain about, leaving entire sections blank. The kids who showed up unprepared and just guessed at everything. And the top performers who came prepared, knew their material, and still answered every single question even when they had to take a swing at it. The part that should wake you up: the perfectionists and the kids who didn't prepare at all scored about the same. Joined by her regular co-host Jonathan Dugger, Alecia unpacks what this dynamic looks like in business. Why perfectionism is actually a strategy for avoiding failure disguised as high standards. What it's costing the capable business owners who've been telling themselves their carefulness is a strength. And why it's never too late to start retraining the brain to take small, intentional risks without being so attached to the outcome.

How to Make Your Big Goals Actually HappenIn this episode, Jen shares what came up for her after hosting the first Business, Bouquets and Branding Workshop on the family farm — a dream she had been thinking about for a long time. Reflecting on that milestone led her to something bigger: how goals actually happen.This is not just an episode about vision boards or dreaming big. It is about the real work behind bringing something to life: intention, planning, chunking big dreams into smaller steps, and building a roadmap you can actually follow.Jen talks about how much progress she has already made on her vision board this year, why using her vision board as a phone screensaver has been such a powerful visual reminder, and how the quarterly review process inside the Floral CEO Mastermind helps keep goals moving forward instead of getting forgotten.She also shares practical examples of how this works in real life — from planning a workshop experience on the farm to researching and bringing home Valais sheep — to show how seemingly huge dreams become possible when you break them into clear, manageable pieces.In this episode:Why dreaming big is not enough on its ownThe difference between vague goals and real executionHow to build a roadmap for a goal you care aboutWhy visual reminders help keep your goals front and centerHow Sunday prep can keep you aligned with what mattersWhy bite-sized action is often the missing pieceHow to stop half-assing your goals and start creating momentumWhy support and accountability matter so much when you want real changeKey takeawayManifesting is not just about wanting something. It is about intention, action, clarity, and putting structure behind the dream. Big goals happen when you stop winging it and start breaking them down into steps you can actually take.Mentioned in this episodeThe Floral CEO Mastermindhttp://floralceo.com/mastermind

"The target was elusive. It was just, I hope I survive. I hope I make it. I hope I don't go broke. And that blew my mind when I realized it." What if the reason you're not where you want to be isn't effort, it's the absence of a real target? Kim just drove home from a year in Florida, and she's bringing back the one lesson she wishes she'd had before she left: the difference between throwing out a net and actually deciding where you want to go. In this episode, Kim gets honest about her own year of winging it, the moments of anxiety and defeat, the unexpected wins, and the realization that four months were lost to indecision. She breaks down the two very different modes most entrepreneurs operate in, and makes a case for why "wait and see" quietly drains your momentum, your time, and your results.

Send us Fan MailYour client can feel it the moment a session turns into a friendly chat. Marc and Teresa unpack the uncomfortable truth a lot of coaches avoid: improvising might sound intuitive, but it rarely produces consistent client transformation. We talk about the gap between a “good conversation” and a coaching session built for measurable change, and why clients stop re-upping when the work has no clear direction.We also dig into coaching vs mentoring. If you've had success in fitness, leadership, or business, it's easy to slip into advice-giving and assume your client's problem matches yours. Real coaching requires a repeatable coaching framework that helps someone find the root issue, name what they actually want, and navigate the whirlwind of distractions and self-sabotage. We share how we use simple pre-call questions to prepare both coach and client, keep sessions aligned to stated goals, and decide whether the real block is an adaptive challenge or a technical challenge.Then we get practical about skill-building: talent isn't the point, reps and feedback are. We explain why great conversationalists sometimes struggle as coaches, how staying in a learning environment protects your confidence, and why getting coached yourself makes you better at guiding others. If you want one actionable step to stop winging it, we give it to you: record a session, listen back, and ask for feedback on what you did well and one thing to do differently.If you got value from this, subscribe so you don't miss the next one, share it with a coach who's ready to level up, and leave a review telling us what part of your coaching you want to improve next.If you want to stop winging sessions and learn to coach at the root level, apply for the next cohort of High Impact Mastery Academy at modernleadership.us/academy and, if this helped, subscribe, share it with a coach friend, and leave a review.Want to go deeper on what we talked about today?We put together a short video on how to lead high-stakes conversations without winging it.Watch it here: https://www.modernleadership.us/mastery

Most firm owners are more uncertain than they let on. The ones performing at the highest level just have better frameworks to keep moving forward anyway. In this episode of The Game Changing Attorney Podcast, Michael and Jessica Mogill field three listener questions that circle the same uncomfortable admission: most firm owners are less certain than they look, and the people watching them aren't sure what to make of it. Michael gets into what it actually means to build a firm worth owning, how to read whether a firm is succeeding on skill or circumstance, and what it really takes to step out of someone else's shadow and lead on your own terms. Here's what you'll learn: Why feeling like you're winging it is not a sign something is wrong, and what success as a firm owner actually requires How to tell the difference between a firm owner making skilled decisions and one who has just been lucky Why the best leadership style is the one that produces results, regardless of what it looks like from the outside These questions come up privately all the time. This episode is where they finally get answered. ---- 01:48 – Michael opens with a Disney story that turns into a lesson on persistence and refusing to accept arbitrary limits 10:50 – Michael defines what it actually means to be a successful business owner 11:56 – Michael explains why most entrepreneurs feel like they are making it up as they go 13:28 – The difference between a business that depends on you and one that actually runs without you 15:17 – How to tell the difference between a lucky firm owner and a truly skilled one 15:48 – Why great leaders rely on decision-making frameworks instead of gut instinct alone 23:12 – Michael explains why leadership is about driving results, not being liked ---- Links & Resources: Roy McIlroy Tim Cook Steve Jobs Andy Jassy Jeff Bezos Amazon Web Services ---- Learn what sustainable growth can look like for your firm at crispcoach.com. ---- Do you love this podcast and want to see more game changing content?

What the hell just happened in Iran? The US launched an attack last weekend, and within hours, the explanations were already shifting. Is this regime change? Will it be a few days? A few months? Several years? By the time you're listening to this, the situation may have moved again. So this is a quick, emergency TGAF about where things currently stand. Sean calls up Wall Street Journal national security reporter Alex Ward to walk through what we actually know, what we don't, and what could come next. They talk about the risk of regional escalation, the “break it and walk away” strategy, and why the range of possible outcomes right now is…uncomfortably wide.
