Most people think they need new circumstances. They don't. They need a new approach. In this episode, I explain how your state, your energy, and the way you engage with what's in front of you determines everything. Relationships improve when you show up differently. Work changes when you attack it differently. Opportunities expand when you stop hesitating and start moving with momentum. I talk about being in flow, when it's not forced, not emotional, not dramatic… you're just operating. Just moving. Just executing. It's different when you stop reacting to life and start directing it.Buy my book Above the illusion. Above the Illusion: The blueprint for mental clarity, self-respect, and irreplaceable value" is a deep exploration into the hidden forces shaping our lives – the conditioning, beliefs, and stories we've unknowingly accepted as truth.

Andy Hill returns after eight years to share his journey towards financial independence with his wife, Nicole. Initially faced with relationship and financial struggles, the couple established monthly budget parties that fostered open communication and a shared vision for their finances. By embracing the concept of Coast FI, they balanced their work-life commitments and focused on creating a sustainable, happy family life, ultimately paying off their mortgage and adopting a part-time work lifestyle. Key Tactical Takeaways Establish Monthly Budget Parties: Create a designated time each month to discuss finances with your partner, making it enjoyable and structured. Adopt Coast FI Principles: Achieve enough savings to allow investments to grow without additional contributions, which can lead to a flexible work-life balance. Focus on Compounding: Emphasize the significant benefits of long-term investing; even a 1% difference in return can lead to considerable wealth over time. Adjust Savings Rates: If financial goals are met, consider lowering savings rates to enjoy life more fully while allowing investments to grow. Core Rules & Formulas Core Rule Formula/Guideline Establish a Budget Party Choose a regular schedule (e.g., once a month) and make it enjoyable (e.g., pizza, wine) to facilitate open discussions about finances. Coast FI Definition Save enough so your investments can compound without needing further contributions. Work only enough to cover living expenses. Compounding Interest Impact Understand that even slight increases in investment returns can significantly affect wealth over time. A simple 1% increase over decades can lead to substantial differences. Savings Adjustment Strategy Once you reach a financial milestone (e.g., Coast FI), assess and potentially lower your savings rate for more immediate enjoyment without jeopardizing long-term goals. Tools, Accounts, or Strategies Mentioned Tool/Strategy Description Monthly Budget Parties A structured approach to discussing finances in a fun, collaborative manner. Coast FI Strategy A financial independence approach where investments grow passively, allowing flexibility in work options. Compounding Calculators Use online tools to visualize how minor changes in investment returns can significantly impact future wealth. Resources & References Book: Own Your Time by Andy Hill Implement Monthly Budget Parties: Start by scheduling your first budget party this month and prepare to discuss financial goals. Explore Coast FI: Assess your savings and consider if adjusting your financial strategy to Coast FI could enhance your quality of life. Track Your Spending: Use personal finance tools or apps to better understand and manage your monthly expenses.

Let's be real for a second: if you're spending the majority of your waking hours in a negative state of mind because you loathe your "job," you're doing it wrong. Whether you're trying to build a community, a brand, or a fat bank account, your relationship with work determines if you're actually living or just suffering through the grind. I've had the "abusive" relationships with work where I ran myself into the ground, and I've had the ones that left me energized and satisfied. Today, I'm showing you exactly how to brainwash yourself into the latter. Listen in as I share the three principles that keep me from procrastinating and keep the energy flowing without the "slimy, stinky forceful tricks" we're taught to use for productivity. We're diving deep into why your zone of genius is usually the thing you're currently discounting because it feels too "easy". It's time to stop half-assing your commitment to your dreams and start choosing the discomfort that's actually worth it. Here's a glance at what you'll learn from me in this episode: The Discomfort Reality Check: Why you're already uncomfortable doing things you hate, so you might as well be uncomfortable for what you love. Enjoyment > Results: How prioritizing fun and ease actually creates a more sustainable, "timeless" work-life balance and a raving fan base. The "Perfectionist" Trap: Why pressure and worry are actually obstructing your superpowers and how to use deadlines without the cortisol spike. Creative Immunity: The secret to keeping your passion alive even when the money starts rolling in. People Mindset: Why money isn't a living thing and why your relationship to people is the only mindset that matters for your bank account. Timestamps: 00:00 – Introduction 00:34 – Redefining the relationship you can have with work. 03:22 – What I actually live for. 04:35 – Principle #1. 08:51 – The "Starving Artist" narrative vs. inevitable success. 09:50 – Principle #2. 12:12 – My sabbatical and closing a multi-seven-figure business. 15:43 – Why what's "easy" for you is actually your most valuable gift. 18:20 – Coming out of the closet as a creativity teacher. 20:27 – Principle #3. 23:07 – Ditching your "Money Mindset" for a "People Mindset". 25:01 – Why a personal brand is a lifelong project, not a 30-day sprint.

Today, Ali talks to Barbara Ginty, host of the Future Rich podcast, for a special crossover episode to share her deeply personal fertility journey — and to talk honestly about the emotional and financial realities of IVF. Barbara froze her eggs in her 30s, not knowing exactly when or how she might use them. Seven years later, she returned to those frozen eggs and went through IVF — and now, as this episode airs, she's on the brink of welcoming her first baby. Barbara shares what it was like to trust a decision she made years earlier, the uncertainty of the process, and the surreal feeling of finally reaching this moment. Barbara also turns the mic on Ali, who opens up about her secondary infertility and IVF journey, including the complicated emotions that can come with trying to grow your family after already having a child.

The conversations around Israel and Zionism have become increasingly fraught, often resulting in heated arguments and a flurry of talking points. For many, finding space for context and nuance in such a charged and confusing landscape can be difficult.

Today, we are sharing Episode 6 from that series, titled "The Debate: Simple Labels Don't Work." This episode examines why common terminology often fails to capture reality and encourages listeners to examine their own assumptions. Whether you are looking for a refresher on the historical context or trying to navigate the current social media environment, this episode offers a look at the intellectual and political framework of the region. You can find the full series, along with additional educational resources and videos, at understandingisrael.org or by searching for the show on your preferred podcast platform.

So you want a salary increase? Who doesn't? But do you pronounce 'increase' with the stress on the first syllable in, or the second syllable crease?

Sheryl Rowling from Morningstar argues that the greatest danger in retirement isn't the stock market — it's the constant fear of running out of money. We will walk through her eight "anchors" from the article posted on Morningstar. Anchor 1: Confirm Your Sustainable Spending Level Anchor 2: Embrace Flexibility in Down Markets Anchor 3: Recognize That Spending Often Declines With Age Anchor 4: Create a Recession Buffer Anchor 5: Reduce Future Tax Uncertainty Anchor 6: Maximize Guaranteed Income Anchor 7: Protect Against Long-Term Care Costs Anchor 8: View Home Equity as a Backstop For our listener question: I've said before that accumulation is the easy part - and distribution is harder. But Kevin wrote in to say "wait a second… don't prices move around when you're buying or selling? So what's the real difference?" We're going to unpack why dollar-cost averaging on the way in is not the same thing as sequence risk on the way out — and why that distinction matters once you're living off the portfolio. And to wrap up the show, we'll hear from Bernie about how he is blending service & fun for an even better retirement.  Resource: Article by Sheryl Rowling in Morningstar: 8 Tips to Stop Worrying About Running Out of Money in Retirement   Connect with Benjamin Brandt: Subscribe to the This Week in Retirement: http://thisweekinretirement.com Get the Retire-Ready Toolkit: http://retirementstartstodayradio.com Work with Benjamin: https://retirementstartstoday.com/start Get the book!Retirement Starts Today: Your Non-financial Guide to an Even Better Retirement Follow Retirement Starts Today in:Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Overcast, Pocket Casts, Amazon Music, or iHeart  

If you have a teenage or tween daughter, you already know this truth: The girl who used to laugh at everything you said… now looks at you like you've personally embarrassed her just by existing.

And when the tension starts creeping in, it's easy to either try too hard… or pull away altogether. Today I want to give you three simple hacks — not to force connection, not to control her mood — but to gently crack that shell and invite your daughter's joy back out. These are small shifts that help ease tension and create moments where laughter can actually happen again.   Are you looking for ways to communicate with your girl so she can start opening up to you?

We talk a lot about dreaming bigger — but not nearly enough about what it actually costs to play it safe. Fear of failure keeps brilliant ideas stuck in our heads, careers stalled, and confidence quietly eroding. In this episode of This Is Woman's Work, Nicole Kalil is joined by Lorraine H. Marchand, innovation expert, Wharton professor, and author of No Fear, No Failure. Together, they unpack why failure isn't the enemy — avoidance is. From reframing fear as data, to designing smarter experiments, to creating cultures (and inner narratives) where learning beats perfection, this conversation is a permission slip to try, fail, learn… and keep going. If you've ever felt paralyzed by getting it wrong, worried about failing publicly, or trapped by environments that say they want innovation but punish mistakes — this episode is for you. We explore: Why fear of failure shuts down growth faster than actual failure ever could How to reframe failure as learning (and why that changes everything) Why women are more likely to internalize failure — and how to stop How to test ideas without burning it all down What “failing forward” looks like in real life (not just on LinkedIn) How to stop being afraid of other people seeing you try Because growth doesn't happen without risk — and playing it safe has a cost.

Meltdowns and mood swings aren't random—they're signals from a stressed nervous system. This episode reveals 5 hidden ways your child's meltdowns and mood swings connect to mental health struggles, often long before a diagnosis. Dr. Roseann Capanna-Hodge, creator of Regulation First Parenting™, brings decades of expertise in childhood emotional dysregulation to guide parents with clarity and hope.Parenting a child with intense reactions can feel exhausting and isolating. You're not alone. Many parents see frequent meltdowns, sudden mood swings, or resistance to change and worry, “Am I missing something?” These behaviors aren't just “bad days”—they're signals your child's brain is struggling to regulate.In this episode, I share five predictive nervous system signals I've identified over decades of working with thousands of children. You'll learn how to recognize early warning signs of mental health challenges, support regulation, and change your child's trajectory—long before labels or diagnoses appear.Why does my child have frequent meltdowns after small frustrations?Low frustration tolerance is one of the clearest early indicators of mental health concerns and challenges in a child's mental health. Children who overreact to minor setbacks often struggle to pause, reflect, and problem solve under stress.Key takeaways:Explosive reactions aren't misbehavior—they indicate a dysregulated nervous system.Recovery matters: kids who struggle to calm down are at risk for anxiety, impulsivity, and emotional volatility.Parent example: A 7-year-old melts down every time homework is hard. After co-regulation exercises and consistent scaffolding, these outbursts gradually lessen.How do restrictive eating habits signal mental health struggles?Children who resist textures, smells, or new foods may have a nervous system stuck in stress mode, experiencing the world as unsafe. This can affect a child's sleep patterns, emotional regulation, and even academic performance.Tips for parents:Observe patterns in eating—they can reflect underlying distress, not just picky behavior.Work with occupational therapists for sensory support.Ensure nutritional balance to support emotional health and overall well being.

The Work of Disaster: Crisis and Care Along a Himalayan Fault Line (U Chicago Press, 2025) is a compelling portrait of post-disaster imaginaries of repair in Nepal. In a world of cascading disasters, what are the consequences of transient care? In 2015, a 7.8-magnitude earthquake and equally powerful aftershock struck the central region of Nepal. The disaster claimed over 9,000 lives and inspired a surge of humanitarian concern for the mental health of Nepali people. In The Work of Disaster, based on extensive fieldwork in the region, anthropologist Aidan Seale-Feldman examines what disaster generates, and the fraught relationship between crisis and care. Moving between NGO offices, mountain trails, therapeutic interventions, and affected villages, Seale-Feldman tells the story of an emergent “mental health crisis” and the forms of care that followed in the disaster's wake. She also analyzes how emergency services transform the places they seek to assist; the challenges of psychiatric support provided by international organizations; and the place of mental health counseling in a modern biopolitical reality. The Work of Disaster reveals the contiguous violence and gentleness of humanitarian encounters, engaging with broader debates about worldmaking and the ethics of care. Aidan Seale-Feldman is a medical and psychological anthropologist and Assistant Professor of Anthropology at the University of Notre Dame. Elena Sobrino is an anthropologist and Lecturer in the program in Science, Technology, and Society at Tufts University. Learn more about your ad choices.

Domination Derby: Arsenal Destroy Spurs 4-1 Away from Home as Eze Delivers, Raya Recovers and the Premier League Lead Returns to Five PointsArsenal respond in the only way that matters.After pressure built following Manchester City's win, the North London Derby became more than just another fixture — it became a test of control, intent and composure. And from the opening minutes, Arsenal delivered one of the most dominant performances ever seen at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.We break down the starting XI decisions, the absence of key names, and the early intensity that set the tone. The discussion then moves into the opening goal — Saka's persistence, Eze's sharp finish — and the familiar frustration of conceding immediately after taking the lead.There's an honest assessment of Declan Rice's error, David Raya's positioning, and whether Arsenal are gifting opponents moments rather than being broken down. But this episode isn't about collapse — it's about response.We analyse Raya's in-game recovery, Gyökeres' growing confidence in front of goal, and the structural adjustments that kept Arsenal on the front foot instead of retreating into caution. Timber's contribution, Mosquera's composure, and the subtle tactical shifts in midfield all come under the microscope.Eze's performance is given full attention — his decision-making, positioning, and the wider question of how Arteta has finally unlocked his best role. We also examine the ongoing Trossard debate and what Odegaard's return could mean ahead of Chelsea.The numbers tell their own story: territorial dominance, touches in the box, xG control. But the episode goes deeper than the stats — into mentality, game management, and the standards required in a title race.Part Two features the Matchweek 27 whip-around, where we assess Manchester City's narrow win, Liverpool's controversial late goal, Chelsea's dropped points, and the developing relegation battle. VARse returns with discussion on Forest, City, Palace and the automated offside debate.Arsenal restored the five-point lead.Now the question is whether they can sustain this level of control.Chelsea up next.Chapters:(00:00) - Arteta's Non-Negotiables Intro(00:51) - Line-Up Reaction & “Not North London” Display Debate(03:48) - Early Intent & Fast Start(08:18) - 0-1 | Eze Finishes After Saka's Work(10:46) - 1-1 | Rice Error & Raya Questioned(13:16) - The Longest Half-Time Ever(15:46) - Raya's Save & Regaining Composure(16:47) - 1-2 | Gyökeres Strikes With Authority(18:13) - Disallowed Spurs Goal & Gabriel Controversy(21:22) - 1-3 | Eze at the Double(22:20) - Raya Big Save & Redemption Moment?(24:01) - Saka Injury Concern(24:58) - 1-4 | Gyökeres Seals It Late(28:03) - Match Stats & Dominance Breakdown(31:52) - Trossard Debate & Tactical Adjustments(37:29) - Raya Form Discussion(45:42) - Eze Role Analysis & Arteta Comments(52:34) - PT.2 Whip Around the Grounds (MW27)(59:30) - VARse: Forest, City & Palace Decisions(01:10:56) - MW27 Title Race, UCL Qualification & Relegation Battle(01:18:55) - Closing Thoughts

From Corporate Boardrooms to Small Business Breakthroughs: Ingredients for Success with James OrsiniStay On Course Podcast | Host: Julie Riga | Guest: James OrsiniWhat does it really take to build a thriving small business and how do the lessons of the Fortune 500 world translate to the entrepreneurial journey? In this candid and inspiring conversation, Julie Riga sits down with seasoned executive James Orsini to unpack the mindset shifts, operational disciplines, and leadership principles that separate businesses that scale from those that stall. Whether you are a founder, a corporate executive ready to pivot, or a small business owner in the thick of the grind, this episode is packed with transformative insights to help you stay on course.From Corporate Boardrooms to Small Business Breakthroughs: Ingredients for Success with James OrsiniAbout James OrsiniJames Orsini is a seasoned executive leader with more than 35 years of experience as President, CEO, COO, and CFO across high-growth organizations. After an 11-year run at VaynerX alongside Gary Vaynerchuk, where he helped grow the company from $42M to $350M and 2,000 people across 15 offices, James now advises founders and small business leaders through Vyve, Factotum, and J & J Consulting Services, co-founded with his wife Joanne.Fun Fact: James is a proud Italian-American whose ultimate comfort food is his wife's Sunday pasta sauce, slow-cooked for hours every single week.Ingredients for SuccessFocus and Strategic Prioritization Entrepreneurs rarely run out of ideas; they run out of focus. James advocates for working backwards from your endgame and using tools like the Eisenhower Matrix to prioritize what truly moves the needle each quarter.Knowing When to Hire and Delegate Founders who hold on too tight risk choking their own growth. Tracking yellow hustle time versus green paid time on your calendar reveals exactly when it is time to bring in your first hire and step fully into your leadership role.Integrity Above All Doing the right thing with your employees, vendors, and partners, even when nobody is watching, creates a reputation that outlives any single business venture. James calls this the most enduring ingredient for success.Community and Accountability Leadership can be lonely. Investing in a mastermind, coaching program, or peer group compresses your learning curve and gives you the sounding board every leader needs. Iron sharpens iron.Culture as Your Competitive Advantage VaynerMedia maintained a 17% voluntary turnover rate in an industry averaging over 35%. Hire for kindness and empathy first, then teach the skills. Culture is your most sustainable edge.Memorable Quotes"Doing the right thing is always the right thing, even when people are not looking.""Some founders squeeze the baby so tight, they choke it. Know when to let go and move to the work only you can do.""Work backwards from the legacy you want to leave. That clarity drives every decision."Key TakeawaysTransition from operator to leader. Work on the business, not in it. This mindset shift is the turning point for every founder ready to scale.Build your network with gratitude and empathy. Relationships cultivated with care become your greatest long-term asset.Stay open to pivoting. The business you build two years from now will look nothing like what you imagined today, and that is a strength.Connect with James OrsiniLinkedIn: James OrsiniVyve: @Revive (social handles)Factotum: factotum.comJ & J Consulting Services (LinkedIn)Connect with Julie RigaStay On Course PodcastBefore I Lead Programjulieriga.com/leadSubscribe to Stay On Course wherever you listen to podcasts and share this episode with every founder and leader who is ready to build something that lasts.#StayOnCourse #LeadershipMindset #SmallBusinessSuccess #PurposeDrivenLeadership #BeforeILead

If you've ever struggled with chronic gut issues, thyroid or autoimmune conditions, or wondered why “everything looks normal” but life feels anything but, this episode is for you. In this episode, I'm thrilled to have Sophie Shepherd join me for a heartfelt conversation about the connection between emotional trauma and our gut, thyroid, and autoimmune conditions. We explore how chronic stress, past experiences, and unresolved emotions can manifest as physical health challenges — and how to pick up the early signs of dis-ease. Sophie and I discuss her journey, insights, and practical approaches, which beautifully align with the work I do helping women reclaim their health, hormones and nervous system balance.1. When Life Guides Your CallingSophie shares her story of how chronic gut issues, autoimmune disease and high-stress living led her to functional medicine and NLP. Sophie helps us reflect on the importance of listening to our bodies and life circumstances — before it's too late. 2. Early Warnings & MisdiagnosisSophie talks about how she navigated subtle but persistent symptoms like chronic diarrhea, bloating, acid reflux, and mental health struggles — symptoms often dismissed by doctors. Sophie and I discuss the emotional impact of being told “everything looks normal” and the empowerment of trusting your body's signals.3. Trauma, Safety, and Autoimmune ConnectionsSophie shares how emotional trauma and patterns of people-pleasing, perfectionism, and suppression of anger contribute to thyroid and autoimmune conditions. Sophie and I discuss why nervous system regulation is critical for recovery and how trauma can manifest physically in the gut and thyroid.4. NLP, Hypnosis, and Mindset ShiftsWe dive into the tools that transform: neural linguistics programming, hypnosis, and quantum time technique. Sophie and I discuss how identifying and shifting limiting beliefs, releasing old trauma, and rewiring thought patterns can support real healing from chronic conditions.5. Observations in Women With Autoimmune ConditionsSophie and I reflect on patterns we see in our clients: chronic stress, internalized anger, people-pleasing, gut expressions of emotional states, and difficulty feeling safe slowing down. Sophie and I connect these patterns to holistic approaches to health that integrate the mind, body, and nervous system.Your Takeaways From This EpisodePay attention to early physical and emotional signals.Trauma and stress can drive chronic illness — nervous system work matters.Shifting limiting beliefs supports physical healing.Empowered choices create pathways to better health.Work with Sophie:Mineral Mocktail Guide: https://shetalkshealth.com/mineral-mocktail-guide/ Thyroid Health Audit Call: https://l.bttr.to/JChUc HTMA Mineral Reset: https://l.bttr.to/WfoEz Free Health Discovery Call: www.shetalkshealth.com/contact Stop Guessing at Your Thyroid & Get Answers Now: https://ace.shetalkshealth.com/home-front Work With Sherry:Book your FREE 30-minute Food Freedom Call now and start your journey to lasting change!

High achievers have hundreds of contacts but no real brothers. Networking events leave you emptier than you arrived.Don't ask to "pick my brain"—you're missing the point. I'm here for connection, not transactions. Real brotherhood versus surface level: you need men who see your darkness and don't flinch. They call you on your bullshit, celebrate your wins without jealousy, show up when everything falls apart. Jesus knew which disciple would betray him but let him stay. That's the humility.Isolation isn't power—it's poison masquerading as strength. Work 4 hours, get more done than someone working 8. Stillness allows movement to compound. Who cares how zoomed in you are if the resolution is dog shit. You weren't meant to carry the weight alone.Listen if you're ready to build the tribe that makes you better. Lonely kings die early. Connected warriors build empires that outlast them.New episodes out every Monday and Thursday at 10 AM Eastern Time Get The Book - $29 https://go.justinegliskis.com/?utm_source=podcast&utm_medium=show_notes&utm_campaign=book_funnelEmail hey@justinegliskis.com to get in contact with meDiscover a podcast designed for entrepreneurs and solopreneurs navigating the challenges of entrepreneurship, offering insights on stress management, health and wellness, and overcoming imposter syndrome, while emphasizing work-life balance, energy alignment, and inner peace; explore topics like burnout recovery, business automation, scaling a business, business growth strategies, client management, mental resilience, overcoming anxiety, and achieving clearer thinking for sustainable success, using the blade of awareness, solving emotional dysfunction and unveiling the trickster within.

In the beginning, humans were in friendship with God and in harmony with creation. The Catechism unfolds this harmony and introduces us to the “original justice” that our first parents lost in sin. Fr. Mike reminds us that, although our original callings to leisure, love, and labor have been twisted by sin, they are renewed in Christ. Today's readings are Catechism paragraphs 374-384. This episode has been found to be in conformity with the Catechism by the Institute on the Catechism, under the Subcommittee on the Catechism, USCCB.

Is scaling your practice actually costing you more than it's giving you? What if burnout isn't a badge of honor—but a systems failure? In Part 1 of this conversation, Dr. Lauryn sits down with returning guest Dr. Austin Cohen to unpack why so many high-performing chiropractors feel exhausted, stuck, or quietly unfulfilled—even while growing.Together, they explore the difference between grinding and true scalability, what it really means to step into CEO leadership, and why “CEO time” is often misunderstood. They discuss building operational systems that create freedom, preventing burnout through intentional structure, and how wealth should fund presence, relationships, and long-term sustainability. If you want to grow your practice in 2026 without sacrificing your health, family, or identity—this is where it starts.Key Takeaways:• Scaling without systems leads to burnout. Sustainable chiropractic growth requires leadership frameworks, operational systems, and CEO-level thinking—not just more hustle.• CEO time is about clarity and strategic thinking, not busywork. High-level vision, presence, and intentional leadership are essential to scaling a multi-location practice without becoming the bottleneck.• Wealth should create freedom and impact. Long-term success in chiropractic isn't just about revenue growth—it's about building a business that supports relationships, health, and meaningful experiences.About the Guest:Dr. Austin Cohen is the owner of Corrective Chiropractic, overseeing 14 thriving clinic locations across five states, specializing in Clinical Biomechanics of Posture and structural corrective care. A graduate of Life University (2009), he has built a reputation for combining clinical excellence with scalable business systems. In 2024, he founded L5 Marketing, managing Google Ads for chiropractors nationwide, and created Chiro180, a software platform designed to increase Office Visit Average (OVA) and Patient Visit Average (PVA) through data-driven care plan tools.

If you lead through the CliftonStrengths talent theme of Achiever, (or you know someone who does), this is the episode for you!     Today's Strength Snapshot is Achiever The Achiever talent theme is all about drive, productivity, and forward motion. People with this strength are naturally diligent, ambitious, and self-motivated. At their core, Achievers are wired to accomplish. They're energized by doing, finishing, and progressing. Their internal engine runs on goals, tasks, and measurable movement. They don't wait for motivation. They generate it from within. Achievers often describe themselves as driven, intense, productive, independent, and diligent. What fuels them most is the opportunity to work toward something meaningful. Completion is satisfying. Progress is energizing. And the next goal is always calling their name.     When This Strength Is Thriving When Achiever is operating at full power, it brings remarkable value to any environment. This strength delivers stamina, pace, follow-through, and energy. Achievers often become the pacesetters on a team. Their natural rhythm pulls projects forward. Their diligence keeps things moving. And their consistent output builds trust because others know they'll finish what they start. They often step into roles like producer, doer, completer, or finisher. You can count on them when momentum matters. When there's work to be done, Achievers don't hesitate. They lean in.     To close, here's a simple 5-minute experiment to try in the next 24 hours… Pick one task you've been postponing. Set a five-minute timer. Work on it with full focus until the timer ends. Notice what happens internally. Does your energy rise once you begin? Do you feel momentum kick in? Achievers often unlock motivation through action, not before it.     Well, that's a wrap for today's episode. What small action can you take to show up at your best, given where you're starting today? --- PS: where are Lisa and Brea? Well, Lisa wrote this and Andy did the voiceover. Lisa is on break with her rock band, Spiral Mischief. So Andy will be hosting your CliftonStrengths 34 series.

You are pouring yourself out every single day. But into whose cup? In this powerful conversation inspired by Derek Thompson, Justin and Kylie explore a simple metaphor that will stop you mid-scroll: every morning you wake with a full jug of water. By night, it’s empty. The only question that matters is where it went. Work. News. Regret. Netflix. Anxiety. Group chats. Your kids. Your marriage. Attention never lies. It reveals what we truly value. If you’ve been feeling depleted, resentful, stretched thin — this episode will gently realign you with what actually matters. Because tomorrow morning?The jug refills. KEY POINTS The “Cup Game” metaphor and why you’re playing it whether you realise it or not Why attention is your most honest measure of values The hidden cost of pouring into cups that don’t matter Why good things can still drain you A simple end-of-day question that changes everything How to reset — even if you’ve been “losing” the game for years QUOTE OF THE EPISODE “Attention never lies. It reveals what we truly value.” RESOURCES MENTIONED Derek Thompson Substack article: Whose Cup Are You Filling? Stephen Covey – “The things that matter most should never be at the mercy of the things that matter least.” ACTION STEPS FOR PARENTS At the end of today, ask: Whose cup did I fill? Notice one cup that received too much water. Choose one relationship that gets first pour tomorrow. When you feel depleted at 4pm, take one small intentional step toward connection. Remember: the jug refills in the morning. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

What if the loneliness you feel is actually proof that you are growing?In this episode, Kevin and Alan unpack a reality most people are not prepared for. As your goals get bigger and your standards rise, fewer people will understand your choices. Drawing from years of business building, client coaching, and their own personal growth journeys, they explain why ambition often creates separation and what it really takes to protect your vision when others question your path.If you have ever felt misunderstood, pressured to slow down, or tempted to shrink your goals to make others comfortable, this conversation will challenge how you see the cost of leveling up. Do not trade long-term alignment for short-term approval._______________________Learn more about:Track the Work. Earn the Results.

What would change in your culture—and your revenue—if people didn't have to put on "work armor" just to show up? In this LinkedIn Live edition of Leveraging Thought Leadership, Peter Winick sits down with Claude Silver, the world's first Chief Heart Officer at VaynerX, to unpack the contents of her new book "Be Yourself at Work" and what it looks like when the pace is fast, the stakes are high, and the workplace is more human than ever.  Claude's thought leadership is practical, not performative. She isn't selling "soft." She's building the conditions for performance: psychological safety, real connection, and a culture where people can speak up, belong, and do their best work.  You'll hear how Claude creates language and frameworks that spread. Not as slogans, but as usable tools—like "emotional optimism," her belief-based approach to empathy and accountability that teams can actually practice.  This conversation also goes where most leadership content won't. If "bring your whole self" is the invitation, what happens when someone's "self" is disruptive? Claude breaks down how healthy cultures don't tolerate consistent bad behavior—and how leaders can address "death by a thousand paper cuts" moments like chronic interruption, contempt, and the slow erosion of trust.  Claude's message is clear: you are the CEO of you. Self-awareness isn't a vibe. It's a leadership requirement. And when people stop pretending—stop performing "credible" and start showing up real—the organization gets stronger, faster, and more resilient.  She also shares how she measures success as a thought leader: not just book sales, but whether her language, models, and exercises enter the zeitgeist—and whether her work can be taught, scaled, and adopted through curriculum and "train-the-trainer" pathways.  And for leaders still clinging to old rules ("check your life at the door"), this episode is a timely reset. The workplace changed. Expectations changed. The best leaders will change too—without losing standards, accountability, or results. Three Key Takeaways: • Culture is a performance system, not a perk. Claude's core idea is that "heart" work (belonging, psychological safety, trust) isn't soft—it's the infrastructure that allows teams to move fast, collaborate cleanly, and deliver consistently. • "Bring your whole self" still requires standards. You can invite authenticity while refusing behavior that erodes the room. Claude calls out the real culture-killers—chronic interruption, contempt, the "death by a thousand paper cuts"—and treats addressing them as leadership, not HR. • Your thought leadership scales when it becomes usable language. Claude's impact isn't just the role title—it's the frameworks and phrases people can adopt (like "emotional optimism") and the intent to embed them through teachable curriculum and train-the-trainer paths so the ideas spread beyond her. If Claude Silver's message resonated—lead with heart and hold the line on standards—your next listen should be Susan Scott's "Fierce Thought Leadership" episode. They share the same core conviction: culture is built in conversations. Claude gives you the human-centered leadership lens. Susan gives you the conversation discipline to make it real—especially when stakes are high and tension is in the room. Listen to both and you'll walk away with a powerful one-two punch: how to create psychological safety and how to speak with clarity and courage so accountability doesn't become conflict—and performance doesn't come at the expense of people.

In this episode, we're going to start surface level, and then we're going to get deep. I start by talking about leaving corporate life and never looking back, then I'll reflect on a question about what men learn when they sleep around a lot. Then we get into the hard stuff. Why do you feel lonely? Why do you feel like a burden? I'll talk about the deep work of eliminating loneliness from your life and what it means to believe you're significant even when nobody's around. I'll break down the difference between living from survival versus wholeness, why you need to get comfortable with the mundane, and how to stop needing external validation to feel whole.Work with me, subscribe to my Substack, or find out your dating personality: ⁠⁠⁠https://confidencechris.com/links⁠

Lead Pastor Josh Carstensen continues our series on Philippians.Following Jesus is beautiful in theory. But in real life, it can feel crowded out by busyness, distractions, conflict we didn't ask for, responsibilities we can't ignore, anxiety that creeps in, and sometimes just feeling stuck.Philippians 4 meets us right there.Not with hype or vague inspiration. But with a steady voice that says:Stand firm.Work for peace.Choose joy in chains.Pray instead of panic.Guard your mind.Practice what you already know.This isn't about pretending life is easy. It's about learning how to stay close to Jesus when it isn't. And the promise isn't just better circumstances. It's something deeper: to experience the peace of God, and the God of peace, right in the middle of it.Thank you for listening to this message from Northwest Hills Community Church in Corvallis, Oregon, on February 22, 2026, at 9:30am.

Episode #370 – Why "Just Be Consistent" Isn't an Email Strategy Anymore "Just be consistent" is one of the most common pieces of email marketing advice - and in 2026, it can quietly become a trap when it's misunderstood. For years, consistency meant momentum, visibility, and growth. But today, many founders are stuck sending emails out of obligation instead of intention - and that pressure often leads to weaker engagement, burnout, and unpredictable results. In this episode, I break down the difference between mechanical consistency (sending just to maintain a schedule) and strategic consistency (building predictable trust without adding noise to the inbox). Instead of chasing weekly streaks, I'll walk you through the real shift happening in modern email marketing - where success is driven by signals, not schedules. You'll learn: Why "send every week" can backfire when applied without strategy The difference between mechanical consistency and strategic consistency How forced frequency creates repetitive messaging and weaker engagement signals The four key signals that should determine your email cadence today: Audience readiness Message strength Lifecycle infrastructure Engagement stability How mature brands maintain presence without burning out their list — or themselves Strategic consistency isn't about never skipping a send. It's about showing up in ways that build trust, maintain deliverability, and support long-term revenue growth. Work with Joy Joya: https://joyjoya.com

On this episode of the Swell Season Surf Podcast, we welcome board industry vet, Jamie Meiselman to the show! We  trace his journey from cold-water surfing in Westfield, New Jersey and the DIY dawn of Northeast snowboarding to a lifetime of innovation across board sports. Jamie reflects on his early roots in skate, surf and competitive snowboarding, pioneering boot technology with Burton and Airwalk, and his years shaping the voice of the industry as Managing Editor of Transworld Snowboarding during its explosive growth in the early 90s. After earning an MBA at Columbia, he pursued an ambitious surf-focused wave pool project that ultimately collapsed, shaping his philosophy on risk, resilience, and iteration. In 2017, Jamie returned to his core passion and founded Solite, introducing the first heat-moldable surf bootie and building a lean, performance-driven brand now respected worldwide. This conversation explores obsession, reinvention, craftsmanship, wave pool evolution, and the mindset behind creating products that truly improve function — closing with reflections on shaping, favorite boards, and the perfect eternity wave.Follow Jamie's company Solite Boots on Instagram @solitebootsand you can check out the latest selection at https://soliteboots.com/The Swell Season Surf Podcast is recorded by The NewsStand Studio at Rockefeller Center in the heart of Manhattan and is distributed by The Swell Season Surf Radio Network. For more information, you can follow @swellseasonsurfradio on Instagram or go to our website: www.swellseasonsurf.com Music: Artist: Sure SureSong: This Must be the PlaceAlbum: Sure Sure00:00 Welcome to the Swell Season Surf Podcast + Jamie Meiselman's Wild Resume04:18 Risk, Failure & the Brutal Early Wave Pool Dream (1999–2004)07:08 Franken-Boots, First Patents & Burton/K2 Innovation Stories10:47 The Obsession Advantage: How Jamie Thinks, Learns & Gets Distracted (AI Tools)13:21 Building a Lean Niche Brand: Solite's Focus, Marketing & Why Performance Wins19:02 Growing Up in NJ: Skateparks, Hamptons Summers & Learning to Surf23:32 Early Snowboarding DIY Era: Woodshop Boards, Ski-Shop Roots & Tinkering Mindset28:07 Solite Origin Story: From Seamless EVA Surf Gloves to Heat-Moldable Boots32:42 Staying Small on Purpose: Competitors, Core Values & Avoiding the ‘Next Nike' Trap35:46 Founder Reality Check: Freedom vs 7-Day Weeks, Support Systems & Family Balance41:58 Less Is More: Letting Kids Learn With Guardrails42:53 Balancing Marriage, Work, and Empty-Nester Life43:42 Surf vs Snowboard: Family Interests & Learning Curves46:17 Living Inland vs Beachside: Staying Hungry for Waves49:40 Dartmouth Days: Choosing Mountains, Quitting Lacrosse for Snowboarding52:03 Starting a Snowboard Club + Early Skiers vs Snowboarders Tension54:41 The ‘Urinal Meeting' That Launched a Transworld Writing Career57:09 Why Surfing Stays #1 (and Chasing Feel Over Progression)01:00:06 From Shaping Curiosity to DIY Boardbuilding as a Step-by-Step Process01:05:52 Boots, Concave Decks, and Performance-Enhancing Gear Ideas01:09:17 Inside Transworld's Boom: Ads, Trade Shows, and Snowboarding's Explosion01:13:30 From Airwalk to Burton: Boot Wars, Culture Shock, and the Wave-Pool Seed01:19:45 From Water Parks to Surf Pools: The Wave Pool Spark01:20:27 Prototyping the Dream: Trade Shows, Engineers & Early Wave Tech01:21:42 Business School as a Launchpad: Columbia, Seed Money & Raising Capital01:24:09 The Hard Part: Rejection, Anxiety, and Getting to the First Million01:26:20 The Fatal Flaw: Adjustable Bottom Contours and Why the Pool Kept Breaking01:28:11 When It Fell Apart: Boardroom Confidence, Bad Partners & Lessons Learned01:29:43 The Randall's Island “What If”: NYC Indoor Surfing That Never Happened01:32:18 Bouncing Back: Mindset After Failure and Building Smarter at Solight01:35:48 Solight's Growth Playbook: DTC vs Wholesale, Dealers, and Global Distribution01:40:17 Marketing Breakthrough: Pros in Cold Water and the Slater Boots Moment01:43:19 What's Next for Solight: New Products, Hats, and “No Me-Too Gear” Philosophy01:47:57 Surfer Questionnaire + The Perfect Eternal Wave (and Wave Pools Today)01:54:34 Closing Thoughts: The Future of Surfing, Wave Pool Communities & Sign-OffBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/swell-season-surf-radio--3483504/support.

Drawing on Edmondson's extensive psychological safety research, the episode provides practical guidance for safety leaders seeking to improve workplace conversations. The framework reveals that effective safety communication requires more than encouraging people to speak up—it demands deliberate leadership to create environments where contributions are productive, silence is reflective rather than fearful, and meeting goals are clearly articulated. The findings offer significant implications for safety professionals working to enhance organizational communication and change management capabilities. Discussion Points: (00:00) Background on psychological safety and employee voice (04:05) Introducing Amy Edmondson's reflections paper (08:00) Why workplace meetings are often unproductive (11:13) The four-quadrant model of workplace conversations (16:44) Withholding when productive silence becomes problematic (19:49) Disrupting and the challenge of unproductive voice (26:33) Contributing through productive voice and disagreement (30:05) Processing the importance of reflective silence (35:53) Practical takeaways for leading better meetings Like and follow, send us your comments and suggestions for future show topics! Quotes: "The employee voice and silence literature is a lot more precise because it's looking at a specific question: what do people speak up about, when do they speak up, who do they speak up to, what do they say?" - Drew Rae "A good meeting is when all participants are either contributing or processing with minimal withholding or disrupting." - Drew Rae "It's not just that disruptive people take up time and space, they raise the threshold for others to speak up." - Drew Rae "Where there's diversity in the room, race or gender, it can make this a little bit more difficult because people might feel personally vulnerable." - David Provan "We want an environment that promotes productive conversations, and that environment is more about when and how we speak up ourselves." - Drew Rae   Resources: Resource Link: https://www.hbs.edu/faculty/Pages/profile.aspx?facId=6451 The Safety of Work Podcast The Safety of Work on LinkedIn Feedback@safetyofwork

Work can be incredibly frustrating! That's because you can work hard and set something up that's INCREDIBLE that the "next guy" tears down. And you can work hard and produce something truly GOOD and yet not succeed with it - because it doesn't capture the market. And you can work hard and experience something unexpected (like a tornado) that blows everything away in the wind. So WHY is work so hard? And what can we do to "buttress" the frustrating parts of work? In this message, Max Vanderpool makes a case for WHY work is broken and how you can I can navigate some of the frustrating parts of that brokenness.
