What happens when you press pause on business as usual and take a family gap year instead? In this special episode, I'm joined by my wife, Annie, who shares the mic with me for the first time as we reflect on the past 10 months of travel, family time, and life outside the usual grind. From the decision to leave home to what we've learned along the way, this conversation is a peek behind the curtain into the most transformational year of our lives. Listen in as we talk about the highs and lows of planning and living a gap year, how we structured our businesses to make it possible, and what it's been like to work through marriage, parenting, and travel together. We also chat about building a family culture, why we're rethinking our relationship with “home,” and what we hope to carry forward from this season of intentional living.

Bevor wir gleich mit der Folge starten, habe ich noch eine Empfehlung für Dich. Diesmal in eigener Sache. Wie lange hörst Du eigentlich schon den Podcast? Ich will ganz ehrlich zu Dir sein. Die meisten Unternehmer setzen einfach nicht um. Das liegt nicht daran, dass sie es nicht wollen, sondern eher daran, das es bei anderen immer so einfach aussieht. Oft fehlt die Struktur, das klare Vorgehen. Auch bei uns hat es viele Jahre gedauert ein so belastbares System aufzubauen. Genau deswegen können wir Dir zeigen, wie Du es schaffst mehr Zeit für Familie, Freizeit und Fitness zu haben. Da Du schon lange den Podcast hörst möchte ich Dir ein Angebot machen. Lass uns einmal für 15 Minuten locker über Deine aktuelle Situation sprechen und dann schauen wir wo Du aktuell die größten Hebel hast. Wie klingt das für Dich? Das ganze ist natürlich kostenfrei. Wenn Du endlich einen Schritt weiter in die Umsetzung kommen willst, dann lass uns sprechen. Geh dazu auf raykhahne.de/austausch und buche Dir einen Termin. Da die Termine oft schnell vergriffen sind, empfehle ich Dir, jetzt direkt Deine Chance zu nutzen. raykhahne.de/austausch Buche Dein Termin und dann unterhalten wir uns.

Seine sportliche Disziplin und seine Erfahrung aus 10+ Jahren Unternehmertum nutzt er, um so vielen Unternehmern wie möglich dabei zu helfen, ihren „perfekten Unternehmertag” auf Basis individueller Ressourcen und Ziele für sich umzusetzen.

You're used to pushing hard – in fact, your identity is built on it. What happens when your body forces you to stop? Who are you then? That's what happened to psychologist Jo Rodriguez, a behind-the-scenes TV expert, marathon runner, and mum who loved being called a machine. One day, what seemed like a simple illness forced her to slow down. She continued her relentless routine, and the mystery illness kept reappearing until the pain became unbearable, and Jo's heart nearly doubled in size. After a diagnosis of pericarditis, she lay in hospital wondering if she'd ever feel worthy again. Could she find a new way of being without her super-achiever identity? In this raw, moving conversation, Jo shares what it was like to go through the stages of grief, the self-doubt, the false surrenders, and the small shift that finally started opening a new way of being.    LINKS Jo Rodriguez on Instagram Mandy Lehto on Instagram  

There's this trait that every leader should have. You can name a million of them but what is it? I've heard plenty of leadership trainings. The best one's will focus one specific trait for practice that can level up your work. But there's only one that I believe should be applied generally. We live in a world of more. Yet, in this case, you can bet that if you treat people this way, you'll find success in building relationships. Wel built relationships lead to strong teams that attract top talent and loyal customers. People want to be part of this type of environment. I had to invest an episode in this concept because I know it's power. It saved my life. Have a generous rest of the week.

We talk a lot about what it means to lead—what it means to thrive—not just in the big moments, but in the everyday choices we make at work, at home, and in the spaces in between. In a recent conversation with Ellen Joan Ford, we explored what it really takes for people—not just high performers or executives, but people—to do meaningful work and to lead with integrity. We didn't talk about leadership as a checklist or a set of metrics. We talked about belonging. About autonomy. About purpose. The kind of leadership that cares deeply for people and, yes, still drives results. Ellen shared her journey—honest, intentional, and grounded in real life. We talked about flexible work, not as a perk, but as a necessity for inclusion. We talked about what it means to feel seen, to be accepted, and to know your work has meaning. There's something powerful about redefining leadership—not as command and control, but as creating the conditions for others to rise. That's where resilience lives. That's where motivation begins—not in fear or pressure, but in clarity, connection, and trust. This conversation isn't just for leaders in corner offices. It's for working parents. It's for team builders. It's for anyone who wants to cultivate courage, foster belonging, and build communities—inside organizations and beyond—where people can bring their whole selves to the work they do. Because at the end of the day, thriving isn't about doing more. It's about becoming more of who we already are—together.   Website: https://www.ellenjoanford.com/ Book: https://www.ellenjoanford.com/shop

Arbeiten, bis nichts mehr geht? Das darf nicht unser Maßstab sein. Denn mentale Gesundheit ist keine Luxusfrage. Sie ist die Basis dafür, dass wir leistungsfähig bleiben. In dieser Podcastfolge spreche ich mit Nora Dietrich darüber, warum wir Arbeit neu denken müssen, um gesund zu bleiben. Nora ist psychologische Psychotherapeutin, Gründerin von „Between People“, LinkedIn Top Voice für Work-Life-Balance und wurde von der Zeitschrift Personalwirtschaft als „Kopf des Jahres“ im Betrieblichen Gesundheitsmanagement ausgezeichnet. Ihr aktuelles Buch "Mental Health at Work" ist ein Weckruf: Wir brauchen eine Revolution der Menschlichkeit in der Arbeitswelt. Wir sprechen darüber: - Warum mentale Gesundheit ein Thema für uns alle ist und warum gerade die „Dahindümpelnden“ besonders gefährdet sind - Weshalb wir aufhören sollten, Erschöpfung zu glorifizieren - Warum Work-Life-Balance nicht einfach bedeutet, einen Laptop zuzuklappen - Wie Führungskräfte mit ihren eigenen Grenzen umgehen können, wenn sie gleichzeitig für andere sorgen sollen - Was Unternehmen tun können, um Gesundheit nicht als Benefit, sondern als Kulturthema zu verankern - Und warum es oft kleine Übergangsrituale braucht, um wirklich abzuschalten Dieses Gespräch ist für alle, die zwischen Leistungsanspruch und Selbstfürsorge balancieren. Für Eltern, Berufseinsteiger, Führungskräfte und für dich, wenn du manchmal das Gefühl hast, dass dein Akku dauerhaft im roten Bereich läuft.

Wie baut man ein Datenteam von Grund auf? Was bedeutet es, als Führungskraft in Teilzeit zu arbeiten? Und wie unterstützen Daten die internationale Expansion eines der erfolgreichsten deutschen Kinderhörbuch-Startups? Darum geht es in der ersten Folge dieser Podcastreihe von MY DATA IS BETTER THAN YOURS, in der Host Jonas Rashedi mit Maximilian Ehrlich spricht. Als Director Data & Insights bei tonies® verantwortet er den Aufbau des kompletten Datenteams und die Entwicklung der Dateninfrastruktur. Im Gespräch berichtet Max von seiner Reise bei tonies®. Was 2016 mit der ersten Toniebox begann, ist heute ein internationales Unternehmen mit 360 Millionen Euro Umsatz in 2023 und ehrgeizigen Wachstumszielen für 2024. Max erklärt, wie er aus sechs dezentralen Analysten ein 20-köpfiges Team formte und welche Herausforderungen dabei zu meistern waren. Besonders spannend wird es beim Thema datengetriebene Produktentwicklung. Max teilt konkrete Beispiele, wie Nutzungsdaten zu neuen Produktideen führen - etwa bei den "Sleepy Sheeps", die aus der Analyse von Nutzungszeiten entstanden. Zum Schluss spricht Max über seine Erfahrungen als Führungskraft in Teilzeit und gibt Einblicke in seine private Datennutzung - von der Wohnungssuche bis zum Fußballmanager-Spiel.

In this episode of The Self-Employed Life, I had the pleasure of speaking with Katie Keller Wood, Montessori educator, TEDx speaker, and author of the upcoming book Alignment: A Montessori Approach to Reimagining Work-Life Balance. We challenge the myth of work-life balance and instead explore the powerful metaphor of a life mosaic—how different aspects of our life can align without rigid separation. Katie shares how purpose-driven work, often viewed with guilt or skepticism, can actually be a vital source of personal meaning and fulfillment. She draws from Montessori principles in order to emphasize the importance of not losing oneself in their meaningful work, but instead cultivate awareness, alignment, and joy in all areas of life. This episode is for anyone wanting to do their purpose work and create a meaningful life without burning out.   Dr. Katie Keller Wood grew up in the world of education, and delights in helping people find new ways of thinking about the world. Discovering Montessori education, both as a pedagogy and a philosophy, was pivotal for her, and she is on a mission to bring a Montessori perspective of work to everyone.    Katie has had the great honor of working with hundreds of middle and high school Montessori teachers from all over the world through the training program she runs, called CMStep. She is recognized as a leader in Montessori programming for adolescents and adults. Any given semester might find Katie teaching undergraduates at the University of Virginia, where she earned both her bachelor's and her doctorate degrees, master's students at Xavier University, or doctoral students at the University of Wisconsin-River Falls. She is active in the Montessori research and teacher education communities.    Katie does her work because she believes that a more peaceful, just, equitable, and sustainable world is possible, and that it takes all of us leading our aligned lives to bring this world forward. Katie lives in Richmond, Virginia, and is a TEDx and keynote speaker and a sought-after presenter for workshops and conferences. Alignment: A Montessori Approach to Reimagining Work-Life Balance is her first book.     Guest's Contact – Linedin Website Book Contact Jeffrey – JeffreyShaw.com Books by Jeffrey Shaw Business Coaching for Entrepreneurs Watch my TEDx LincolnSquare video and please share!

Title: 20 Brutal Truth Bombs I Wish I Knew in My 20s | Part 1 Links to Watch and Subscribe: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DHW8jd2YpRw&list=PLSfheWyV7beFqERLX4ebBUJ4SmzmF6z8e&index=6 Bullet Point Highlights: “Follow Your Passion” is Bad Advice: The speaker argues that pursuing passion without developing relevant skills leads to wasted time and frustration. No One is Watching: The fundamentally liberating realization that most people are too engulfed in their own lives to scrutinize your choices. Growth Comes from Discomfort: Becoming comfortable with discomfort is essential for personal development. Work-Life Balance is a Myth: Prioritizing your energy according to the season of your life is more crucial than trying to achieve an impossible balance. Failure is Feedback: Instead of being paralyzed by the fear of failure, view it as an opportunity to learn and grow. Not Every Opportunity is Worth Chasing: Recognizing distractions that do not align with long-term goals is vital for sustained progress. Take Risks While You're Young: The speaker advocates for seizing opportunities and taking calculated risks early in life when responsibilities are fewer. Transcript: (Seth Bradley) you've been fed lies your entire life they told you to follow your passion wait for the right time and keep everyone around you happy does that sound familiar well I'm here to tell you that's all Bs those ideas aren't just wrong they're keeping you broke stuck and miserable at the time of this recording I'm 41 years old even though I was moving forward educationally getting my MBA and law degree during my 20s I was also wasting my time and health Away by partying chasing women and caring what other people thought about me today   I'm dropping 20 truth bombs that no one else wants to say out loud this isn't your typical motivational stuff it's raw it's real and it's going to make you uncomfortable and that's the point if you want a life worth living it's time to wake up and stop playing by the rules that were designed to hold you down if you want to be average turn this off now if you want to be exceptional buckle up by the time this video ends you'll have no excuse to keep living small this is the advice I wish someone had told me   when I was in my 20s even if I were willing to listen so pay attention because if you're serious about winning these 20 truths will change everything let's go all right let's start out with a banger finding your passion is trash advice Follow Your Passion has to be the dumbest piece of advice out there you know who says that broke ass dreamers who've never actually accomplished anything let me tell you why chasing your passion is is a one-way ticket to wasting time and frustration you don't need passion you need skills a plan and   the ability to solve problems people will actually pay for you're not born with some magical purpose you're supposed to uncover that's Disney what works in real life is developing a skill set becoming so good they can't ignore you and then using that leverage to build something meaningful and guess what when you get really good at something and you get paid a lot of money to do it suddenly you've got a passion for it passion follows success not the other way around you know I skipped around from exercise science to   medical school to business school to law school asking myself the whole time what's my passion never could find it and I'll explain when I started in law school I wasn't passionate about Securities or real estate law and even still I hated working at a big stuffy law firm with a million bosses with every 6 minutes accounted for sounds miserable and it was but I did see an opportunity I learned the game I mastered my craft and I built my reputation now I get to call my own shots I'm building businesses with a   basis of Highly valuable knowledge and skill sets that people will pay a ton of money for more specifically legally raising capital for Real Estate well now it's my passion if I just Chase my passion I'd probably still be broke chasing my quote unquote dreams that wouldn't pay me passion doesn't create success skills do build something meaningful valuable and get paid properly to do it and I promise you that you'll find your passion and the freedom that it gives you stop waiting for inspiration and start creating   opportunities number two no one gives a what you're doing here's the cold hard truth no one is watching you as closely as you think nobody cares what you're doing it's called the spotlight effect look it up and really it's a bias that you believe that people are paying more attention to you than they really are most of us waste so much time worrying about what other people think of us but let me break it to you people are way too busy worrying about their own lives to care about yours that business you're   nervous about launching that big risk you're afraid to take because you might look stupid too nervous to talk to that girl at the bar look nobody's thinking about it as much as you are so stop holding yourself back it's all you if you fail no one will notice or even if they do they'll soon forget look I used to worry about what other people would think I used to think about what would they react if I left big law and shifted to real estate or started my own business but the second I did it I realized that nobody gave it they were   too focused on their own lives they've got things to do they don't care what I'm doing they don't care what you're doing so free yourself from the illusion that the world is watching nobody cares so do what you want to do live your best life get out there take some chances take some risks no regrets baby number three get comfortable with people not liking you I know it's a hard pill to swallow for some of us more than others but not every every one is going to like you and you've got to get comfortable   with that being okay in fact it's a good thing trying to please everyone is the fastest way to lose yourself some people aren't going to Vibe with you no matter what you do your opinions will piss them off your success will make them jealous and your authenticity will make them uncomfortable but don't worry about it get comfortable with it guess what that's their problem it's not yours you were not put on this planet to make every one happy you were put here to live your life and do your thing the   right people will support you and the wrong ones will fall off and you're going to be a better person for it and you're going to be better off because of it when I started sharing my journey online I got a lot of criticism I was very uncomfortable doing it people were saying you know what are you doing why are you doing a podcast why are you leaving law are you crazy but the more I stayed true to myself and the more I attracted people who understood my vision the rest honestly totally irrelevant it's a little bit of   short-term pain for some long-term gain so be you no matter what the people who matter will stick around and the ones who don't let them go four your comfort zone is slowly killing you the most dangerous place to be isn't Rock Bottom it's your comfort zone Comfort zones feel safe but they're just sand traps nothing grows here no progress no change no success the longer you stay comfortable the harder it becomes to break out it's easy to be average it's easy to accept your weaknesses and it's easy to collect a paycheck every 2 weeks   it's hard to be exceptional it's hard to turn your weaknesses into strengths and it's hard to take big risks but growth comes from discomfort pushing yourself taking risks facing challenges and if you're not at least a little scared or uncomfortable you're not growing and you're not doing it right and if you're not growing you're dying I'll tell you about something that makes me extremely uncomfortable you know what I'm kind of doing it right now not long ago like many my biggest weakness was public   speaking or really just speaking generally it doesn't even need to be in front of a ton of people it can be in front of a camera it could be in front of a handful of people introducing myself I mean I would nearly have a panic attack just having to introduce myself to a room and I hated that about me but did I just accept it and did I avoid it honestly for a little bit I did and then I said look if you want to grow you've got to learn this skill and you've got to get better at it so I launched a podcast I accepted speaker   invitations and I took every opportunity possible to make myself uncomfortable and now I've turned it into a strength and was tough because when you get asked that question hey do you want to do this do you want to speak do you want to have this meeting my first inclination no but then I thought to myself yo let's get uncomfortable and I respond yes every single time until I got good at this Comfort zones kill dreams step out take the risk and watch yourself transform number five work life balance is a myth   we've been told a lie your whole life work life balance it does not exist and if it does man it's not for you I know it's not for me chasing it's only going to make you miserable life is not about balance it's about priorities some Seasons you're going to be grinding some Seasons you're going to be sacrificing sleep weekends relationships and build your dreams instead other Seasons you'll have time to celebrate and enjoy but there's no balance here if you want to be super successful your balance is   going to be way over here and then it's going to maybe swing back here later on and then way over here and then swing back staying right here this is that comfort zone that I talked about avoid it trying to balance everything equally every day it's a recipe for Burnout the anxiety that it creates just by trying to stay right center it's going to kill you the people who suceed Ed know when to go all in and when to take a step back balance isn't about splitting your time perfectly it's about putting your   energy where it matters the most at that Optimum time for example right now I'm in grow mode I'm completely unbalanced I'm scaling three startups to nine digigit companies while also running my old businesses running my Law Firm investing in real estate growing my brand balance is out the window right now the grind though is temporary and I've conditioned myself to love it I know at some point I don't know when that is it's going to swing back and I'm going to be able to enjoy myself and I am actually really good at taking a   vacation putting things on the side keeping things moving forward but also taking a break but balance isn't something you find it's something you create over time by being intentional with your priorities number six failure isn't fatal you know what pisses me off watching people treat failure like it's some kind of terminal disease it's not failure doesn't kill you your fear of it does so let's talk about why you need to stop being a little about failing here's the hard truth failure is inevitable and you need it you're going   to fail you have to have it to succeed you're probably going to fail a lot nobody who's actually successful ever got there without face planing first Michael Jordan you know got cut from his high school team maybe he was a freshman going out for uh Varsity whatever Steve Jobs fired from his own company failure is feedback remember that failure is feedback so instead of crying about it learn from it and keep moving I've had tons of epic failures I've dropped out of medical school I got fired from a   multiple sixf figure job on New Year's Eve I raised exactly 0 from investors for a real estate project at those times I felt like it's the end of the world but you know what failure was the best damn thing that ever happened to me it forced me to look in the mirror be humbled learn improve and then the next time with a chip on my shoulder so what's the lesson here failure isn't the end it's the beginning if you're too scared to fail too scared to to succeed stop playing it safe take the leap when   you fall you'll be fine get back up and let's go number seven not every opportunity is a good opportunity opportunities are like shiny objects they're distracting you and most of them look good at first glance but not every shiny object is worth chasing some will drain your time energy and your sanity faster than a toxic relationship the truth is good opportunities align with your goals and your long-term Vision the bad ones they're just expensive distractions in Disguise don't confuse movement and being busy with progress   the more successful and experienced you get the bigger the opportunities you're going to have to turn down 15 years ago I would have killed to have an opportunity to partner with someone anyone on any real estate deal today I turn them down daily I don't even look at anything that doesn't align with my long-term vision and my goals no matter how big the opportunity is if it's a distraction from my long-term strategy it's a no for me dog saying no to the wrong opportunity frees you up to say yes to the right one when it comes along   you've got to get comfortable with saying no that is an expensive lesson to learn your future saying no to the wrong opportunity frees you up to say yes to the right one when it comes along you've got to get comfortable with saying no that's a valuable skill the ability to say no your future self will thank you number eight don't wait for permission or approval if you're sitting around waiting for someone to say all right go ahead you can do it now playing the wrong game let's get real the only   person who needs to approve your dreams is you not your parents not your family not your friends not your significant other or you should have chose better waiting for someone else's permission is just another way of procrastinating and it's a one-way ticket to the Comfort Zone don't need a committee you don't need a cheerleader you don't need a green light what you need is the balls to start and you don't need anybody clapping for you when I started my first gym while working at a big Law Firm   everyone told me I was crazy what if it fails why are you doing this how will you have time but I didn't need their permission I didn't need their approval I didn't need their green light I just needed the confidence to bet on myself and guess what it worked so stop waiting for approval that's never coming stop listening to people who are less successful than you want to be take control make the lead and prove to yourself you can do it green light baby number nine you've heard this before but this is so true comparison is is the   thief of Joy scrolling through someone else's highlight reel is the fastest way to hate your own damn life let me tell you why comparison is a disease and how to cure it we've all done it we've looked at someone else's car or their house or their career or their girl and thought why not me or man they got really lucky what do they do it but here's the thing comparing yourself to others is a losers game because it's never a fair fight you're comparing their curated Picture Perfect moments to the raw unedited life that you live   every single day social media is fake even still their success does not equal your failure there's enough room for everybody to win it's abundance mindset I couldn't even imagine growing up in today's social media environment we did so much crazy growing up and I'm just so thankful that we didn't have all this because it might be on the internet somewhere fast forward though I'm guilty of all this as well looking at my peers seeing what they're doing seeing what success they're having but look I use it   for fuel I don't let it affect how I feel about myself and about my accomplishments and I learn from what others are doing better than me stop looking sideways focus on your own Journey your own progress and your own W's consistency and confidence that that's how you move forward number 10 take more and bigger risks when you're young if you're in your 20s and you're not swinging for the fences you're wasting the biggest Advantage you have in its time let me break it down when you're young you can afford to take   risks you don't have a mortgage you don't have kids you don't have the weight of responsibilities that come later frankly you don't have the weight of your conscience either you don't give a hopefully and that's a competitive Advantage whether it's start a business or investing in yourself or making a bold career move the worst case scenario isn't as bad as you think you recover faster than you expect and even if you fail you'll be 10 steps ahead of the person who didn't try when I bought my first rental property I was terrified   had no clue what I was doing what if I lost money what if it all went wrong what if it burned down but taking that risk paid off I got the experience I got a great property I still own that property but even if it hadn't the lessons I learned would have been worth it don't play it safe play with a little reckless abandon you've got a little bit of time now we'll talk about that later but you've got more time than most and you've got less to lose than most use that to your advantage all right that's 10 bombs raw and probably   made you a little uncomfortable but if you made it this far you're already winning because most people out there just can't stick with anything long enough to gain any value from it but that's not you and we're not done there are 10 more truth bombs in part two that hit even harder so make sure you're subscribed and share with someone who needs a wakeup call now go take some action and I'll see you in part two Links from the Show: https://x.com/sethbradleyesq

How much time and energy do you spend feeling disrespected or unheard? Many high-achieving women find themselves ruminating over moments when they feel overlooked or ignored, whether it's a boss talking over them or a partner not acknowledging their contributions. These feelings can chip away at trust and collaboration, leaving us emotionally drained. But here's the truth: feeling disrespected is optional. It's not about other people's behavior, but about how we choose to interpret it.   In this episode, we break down how feeling disrespected comes from our thoughts, not someone else's actions. We talk about how our brain adds meaning to neutral events, like someone interrupting us, and how those thoughts create emotional responses. By separating facts from interpretations, we can regain our power and stop outsourcing our worth to others. You'll learn how to stop reacting emotionally and start responding from a place of strategy and clarity.   Get full show notes, transcript, and more information here: https://www.ambitious-ish.com/72

If you call yourslef a 'control freak' like it's a badge of honour, this one's for you.  In this episode, I break down the truth about control: why it's not strength, what it's actually costing you in your body, your mind, and your relationships, and how to finally start letting go without everything falling apart.  We talk about:  The fear that hides under control  Why you're gripping things you don't even need to carry  The toll control takes on your nervous system, sleep, and confidence  The difference between what's actually yours to hold and what isn't  Why being a relaxed woman is your most powerful move.  And I leave you with one simple challenge you can take today to start practicing trust - in yourself and the people around you.  If you're tired of being 'the strong one' and ready to feel lighter, softer, and more magnetic, listen to this.  And don't forget to share it with the strongest woman you know.  Pre-order The Selfish Year and join Selfish Summer Camp  Email me: valerie@valeriejonescoach.com

They also highlight the importance of self-care, building support systems, and offer strategies for coping with art show rejections.Maker of the MomentTara Underwood - @tara.underwoodTanya Everard - @tanyaeverardListener QuestionsOn this episode:How do you handle not getting accepted into markets? I recently got rejected from 5 events and I'm at a loss. My work sells in the stores I'm in, I can sell $2-3k at my regular market events, I'm a nice person! I don't get it. I looked at other potters who were accepted and in a few cases- I get it, but often I think my work is on par.

Welcome to Episode 286 of the Spun Today Podcast, the show anchored in writing but truly unlimited in its scope. I'm your host, Tony Ortiz, and today we're diving into something both personal and nostalgic: a throwback tribute episode to my good friend and Spun Today alum, Pablo Mosquera Jr.   In this heartfelt installment, we revisit one of our annual beach day recordings—this one taking place on Coney Island during that odd window in the summer of 2020, right in the midst of the COVID pandemic. Pablo and I reflect on everything from the challenges and isolation of lockdown, the mental health impact of working from home, and our predictions about the ever-evolving work landscape, to our perennial struggles getting to Governor's Island for a bike ride and, of course, our shared love of breaking the monotony with a little weekday hooky at the beach.   Expect a conversation that ranges far and wide, just like the show itself. We cover road trips, favorite drinks, and the transformative power of routine escapes—plus the creative, life-affirming benefits of unplugging from work and leaning into tradition, even during uncertain times. There's even a story about a real-life lifeguard rescue and a heap of pop culture moments, from The Sopranos to Patrick Swayze classics, all through the unique lens of creativity, inspiration, and the everyday writer's perspective.   So whether you're here for the writing talk, the laughs, or some much-needed motivation, this episode invites you to reminisce, recharge, and most of all, keep spinning creativity into your life—no matter what the world throws your way.   Let's get into it.   The Spun Today Podcast is a Podcast that is anchored in Writing & Random Rants, but unlimited in scope.  Give it a whirl.    Twitter: https://twitter.com/spuntoday Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/spuntoday/ Website: http://www.spuntoday.com/home Newsletter: http://www.spuntoday.com/subscribe   Links referenced in this episode:     Follow Pablo on Instagram: @pabs711   Fu*k , That's Delicious S04E10 With Action Bronson - Bronx To Farm Cuisine | MUNCHIES & VICE TV: https://youtu.be/cwEjj6dALlk?t=420   Lillo Brancato Jr on 'Bronx Tale', Drug Addiction, Cop Getting Killed, Prison (Full Interview): https://youtu.be/-oqFY7vTEIM   Atlanta: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt4288182/   Red Dawn: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0087985/   Toy Soldiers: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0103112/   The Movies That Made Us: https://www.netflix.com/title/80990849   Point Break: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0102685/   Talking Sopranos: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCDUH23ccuK5a2rhKqE1HcEw   Two dope scenes from True Romance: 1.     The Sicilian Scene: https://youtu.be/S3yon2GyoiM 2.     Fight scene Part 1: https://youtu.be/VxRpMphMmXM & Part 2: https://youtu.be/2l1hDC34gTc   Listen to episode #283 (re-release of #107 – Beach Day with Pablo): Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/283-cycles-of-life-loss-and-stories-honoring/id924328532?i=1000709665351 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/episode/44wHccKC8Jpuu3eYLd1fO5?si=R7EH9dQZSAKFutXeSF80YQ&nd=1&dlsi=e830def4b0bd401c YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7lfWTjGP2JY   Get your Podcast Started Today! https://signup.libsyn.com/?promo_code=SPUN (Use Promo code SPUN and get up to 2-months of free service!)

Bevor wir gleich mit der Folge starten, habe ich noch eine Empfehlung für Dich. Diesmal in eigener Sache. Wie lange hörst Du eigentlich schon den Podcast? Ich will ganz ehrlich zu Dir sein. Die meisten Unternehmer setzen einfach nicht um. Das liegt nicht daran, dass sie es nicht wollen, sondern eher daran, das es bei anderen immer so einfach aussieht. Oft fehlt die Struktur, das klare Vorgehen. Auch bei uns hat es viele Jahre gedauert ein so belastbares System aufzubauen. Genau deswegen können wir Dir zeigen, wie Du es schaffst mehr Zeit für Familie, Freizeit und Fitness zu haben. Da Du schon lange den Podcast hörst möchte ich Dir ein Angebot machen. Lass uns einmal für 15 Minuten locker über Deine aktuelle Situation sprechen und dann schauen wir wo Du aktuell die größten Hebel hast. Wie klingt das für Dich? Das ganze ist natürlich kostenfrei. Wenn Du endlich einen Schritt weiter in die Umsetzung kommen willst, dann lass uns sprechen. Geh dazu auf raykhahne.de/austausch und buche Dir einen Termin. Da die Termine oft schnell vergriffen sind, empfehle ich Dir, jetzt direkt Deine Chance zu nutzen. raykhahne.de/austausch Buche Dein Termin und dann unterhalten wir uns. Willkommen zu Unternehmerwissen in 15 Minuten. Mein Name ist Rayk Hahne, Ex-Profisportler und Unternehmensberater. Wir starten sofort mit dem Training. Rayk Hahne ist Ex-Profisportler, Unternehmensberater, Autor und Podcaster. Er ist als Vordenker in der Unternehmensberatung und unternehmerischen Weiterentwicklung bekannt und ermutigt Unternehmer aller Entwicklungsstufen, sich aus dem operativen Tagesgeschäft ihres Unternehmens zurückzuziehen, um mehr Zeit andere Lebensbereiche zu gewinnen. Seine sportliche Disziplin und seine Erfahrung aus 10+ Jahren Unternehmertum nutzt er, um so vielen Unternehmern wie möglich dabei zu helfen, ihren „perfekten Unternehmertag” auf Basis individueller Ressourcen und Ziele für sich umzusetzen.

In this episode, we dive into the elusive concept of work-life balance, especially in the fast-paced world of real estate. Join us as Courtney Randleman, a seasoned realtor and mom of four, shares her journey from chasing the rat race to finding a rhythm that works for her family and business. Discover practical tips on setting boundaries, prioritizing self-care, and building authentic relationships that support both personal and professional growth. Tune in for an inspiring conversation that redefines balance on your own terms.Courtney attended UNC-Charlotte and Peace College which led her to spend a decade in the education field. Although she's a Cabarrus County native – and Concord will always have a piece of her heart – after visiting Bermuda Run with a college friend Courtney admits she fell in love with Davie County. She knew this where she wanted to settle and quickly made Advance home in 2003. Though Courtney loved educating children, the desire for more flexibility for her own family and the excitement to dive into entrepreneurship led her to real estate. Now Courtney shares her love of education by volunteering at local schools and joining educational organizations while passionately fulfilling her real estate dreams.Before joining the Hillsdale team, Courtney first landed at a national brokerage. She earned the coveted ‘Rookie of the Year' award from WSRAR during her first year in real estate. Courtney's family keeps her on her toes and on the go! Courtney has 4 children—Ivy, Harper, Campbell and the littlest—and last— baby Ridge. Courtney also dotes on her adult stepdaughter, Roxy, partner Joseph, and her biggest lifetime supporter, Grannie Annie (mom)! She also loves Wolfpack football, entertaining, and keeping up with golf! When she isn't busy with school activities, Courtney loves to hit the road, spending long weekends at her family's beach home or catching a flight or cruise to explore a new destination! Courtney is a girl on the go! And when she goes, there's nothing she loves more than scouting out a small, local coffee shop along the way. She runs on ‘car-ffeine' (caffeine in the car, of course) and Jesus.Social Media Links: Instagram- @closedwithcourtneyFacebook- https://www.facebook.com/CourtneyRandlemanRealEstate

Why do so many movies portray work in a negative light? Does the "work-life balance" exist? What does Scripture indicate about work, life, and purpose? Where do films hit and miss the mark?

In this episode of Boldin Your Money, Steve Chen talks with Andy Hill, creator of Marriage, Kids and Money, about Andy's journey from having a negative net worth to achieving financial independence through intentional saving, living on one income, and aligning money decisions with family goals. Andy shares how reaching “Coast FI” allowed his family to work less and enjoy life more, the importance of early financial conversations with a partner, and his strategies for teaching kids about money by making it a regular, open topic. He also reflects on how purposeful time use can lead to a happier, healthier life and discusses his upcoming book Own Your Time, which helps parents build financial security while prioritizing family.

Balance is impossible - and undesirable. I left town thinking I'd get "refreshed” but realized I actually just got deeper into the important stuff. This is how time off should be. If you're only relieved when you're away from the office, you're missing something. This isn't the first time I've talked about how I don't shoot for work/life balance but it's the deepest dive. I like to think about work life harmony instead. It's simpler. More realistic. And much more desirable. This episode is all about why. Have a generous rest of the week.

Send us a textIn this candid and energizing episode, Joey Pinz sits down with Tom Harshbarger, cybersecurity leader at Red Sift, who shares how everything from Metallica concerts to chronic illness in his family has shaped his approach to leadership, health, and vendor strategy.Recorded live at Pax8 Beyond 2025, Tom reflects on cycling for mental clarity, building trust with MSPs, and the mission behind Red Sift — a company founded by the creators of Shazam to deliver misconfiguration remediation at scale. Their platform empowers MSPs to secure the attack surface while freeing up senior engineers — all while staying invisible to the end customer.Tom also discusses his own health and mindset journey, navigating caregiving for loved ones with POTS, and the mental reprogramming it took to prioritize self-care, sustainable work habits, and meaningful partnerships.From stories of seismic concerts to seismic shifts in MSP cybersecurity, this episode is both vulnerable and visionary — a must-listen for anyone working to scale without burning out. 

Send us a textIn this deeply reflective episode recorded at Pax8 Beyond 2025, Joey Pinz chats with legal-tech leader, artist, and founder of Cloud Contracts 365, Kim Simmonds. From songwriting at the piano to transforming legal AI for MSPs, Kim opens up about the intersections of creativity, leadership, and transformation.The conversation begins in melody and moves into mission — how Kim's self-taught songwriting parallels her bold move to launch an AI-powered legal tool designed just for MSPs. She shares her views on the ethical risks of careless AI use (including lawyers being debarred for citing fake case law), and how her platform avoids hallucinations by not relying on LLMs.They explore differences between US and UK work culture, the undervaluation of MSP services in England, and why shifting from revenue-chasing to meaningful service is the ultimate mindset upgrade.
