In this episode, Greg and I recap Nick Walker's Olympia win and discuss the tradeoffs between competitive bodybuilding, health, and longevity. We also share highlights from the Low Carb for Better Health conference, where I challenged attendees to make strength training just as much of a priority as their nutrition. We talk about the importance of face-to-face connections within the keto community, upcoming conferences, and some exciting changes at Keto Brick, including a sneak peek at our newest product, Brick Batter. Lots happening behind the scenes, and plenty to look forward to!Greg Mahler is also a lifetime natural bodybuilder, and can be followed on Instagramhttps://www.instagram.com/ketogreg80/Register For My FREE Masterclass: https://www.ketobodybuilding.com/registration-2Get Keto Brick: https://www.ketobrick.com/Subscribe to the podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/42cjJssghqD01bdWBxRYEg?si=1XYKmPXmR4eKw2O9gGCEuQ

Send us Fan MailBeth Jones spent more than 30 years as a forensic accountant and fraud investigator before a hypnotherapy session became the turning point of her own healing journey. She is a Leadership Performance Strategist, creator of The HEAL Framework™ (Hope, Evolve, Love), and author of "Becoming an Empowered Survivor: You, Too, Can Heal From Trauma and Abuse." In this conversation with Dr. William Attaway, Beth explains why unresolved pain accumulates gradually and silently for years until it starts shaping decisions, relationships, and leadership without anyone noticing. She breaks down The HEAL Framework, the role of community in healing, and why leaders have to lead from a place of healing instead of managing from an unhealed one.

What does it mean to follow Jesus not only in who you are, but in how you lead, serve, and work? On this episode of The UpWords Podcast, host Joy Fea sits down with guest Joanna Meyer, founder and executive director of Women, Work, & Calling at the Denver Institute for Faith & Work, to explore vocational discipleship: forming people for a whole-life "yes" to God that reaches into their daily work.Joanna traces her path from aspiring high school social studies teacher to twelve years of campus ministry, a season in global telecom, and more than a decade at the Denver Institute, showing how calling is often formed over time rather than discovered in a single moment. Together, Joy and Joanna walk through core ideas from Joanna's framework for vocational discipleship: influence that flows from hearts renewed by Christ; our identity as image-bearers and stewards; participation in God's renewal of all things; and women as agents of flourishing. Along the way, they talk about productivity and overwork, a redemptive understanding of power, generous leadership, and the mentors who help us see what God is inviting us into.WHAT YOU WILL LEARN Why vocation is "a whole-life response to God's voice," not just a category of religious workHow Christ's renewal of "all things" gives new meaning to daily work, from private equity to HOA boardsSetting a generous table for women across theological convictions and life stagesJoanna's candid reflections on overwork and being "addicted to mission"A business leader who built pre-apprenticeship on-ramps for people facing barriers to employmentWhat a redemptive, servant-shaped understanding of power looks like across a workweekBreath prayer and daily silence as portable practices for busy workersWhy God's hand is often clearer in the rearview mirror than in the road aheadABOUT OUR GUESTJoanna Meyer is the founder and executive director of Women, Work, & Calling, a national initiative of the Denver Institute for Faith & Work that equips Christian women to have a godly influence in public life.

Greg and I are fresh off the second annual Natural State Savage, and this year was a massive step forward. We break down what worked, what we improved from last year, and why creating an athlete-first experience matters so much to us.We also get into the realities of running a truly natural bodybuilding show, the responsibility that comes with competing drug-free, and why the standards have to mean something. Huge shoutout to every competitor, judge, volunteer, sponsor, and everyone else who helped make this thing happen. Year two is in the books, and we're already fired up for what comes next.Greg Mahler is also a lifetime natural bodybuilder, and can be followed on Instagramhttps://www.instagram.com/ketogreg80/Register For My FREE Masterclass: https://www.ketobodybuilding.com/registration-2Get Keto Brick: https://www.ketobrick.com/Subscribe to the podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/42cjJssghqD01bdWBxRYEg?si=1XYKmPXmR4eKw2O9gGCEuQ

Send us Fan Mail Vinnie Fisher, Founder and CEO of SiteTrust, returns to the Catalytic Leadership Podcast to unpack the AI negligence insurance gap costing business owners thousands of dollars they didn't know they were exposed to. Vinnie explains why most website consent trackers don't work, why wiretapping-statute lawsuits are climbing into the thousands, and why standard insurance won't cover AI mistakes made without human oversight. He connects it back to the deepfake problem that led him to build SiteTrust in the first place: proving the origin of content instead of being stuck proving a negative. What we unpacked: Why ninety percent of website consent trackers don't actually work The specific legal requirements most professional websites are missing Why agencies are exposed right alongside the clients whose sites they manage How watermarking and proof of origin close the deepfake liability gap Connect with Vinnie Fisher: Free site scan and report: sitetrust.com/gifts Website: sitetrust.com YouTube: youtube.com/@sitetrust Facebook: facebook.com/SiteTrust LinkedIn: linkedin.com/company/sitetrust Apply now to be a part of the High Capacity Leaders mastermind in West Palm Beach, Florida on November 9-10, 2026.

It's peak week, bruh! This week Greg and I break down what peak week actually looks like for a natural ketogenic bodybuilder, why crazy water cuts and last-minute manipulations can do more harm than good, and what we're doing to get ready for Natural State Savages. We also talk about the chaos that always seems to show up right before a big event, what's happening behind the scenes with the competition, and tease a brand-new Keto Brick product that's getting very close to launch. Greg Mahler is also a lifetime natural bodybuilder, and can be followed on Instagramhttps://www.instagram.com/ketogreg80/Register For My FREE Masterclass: https://www.ketobodybuilding.com/registration-2Get Keto Brick: https://www.ketobrick.com/Subscribe to the podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/42cjJssghqD01bdWBxRYEg?si=1XYKmPXmR4eKw2O9gGCEuQ

What if the advice you have been given your entire career - just be more confident, push through the imposter syndrome, act like you belong - is not just unhelpful but actually backwards? Aoife O'Brien has spent 20 years inside corporate organizations, done over 300 podcast episodes, and written a bestselling book, and she has arrived at one very specific conclusion: we have been asking the wrong person to fix the problem. Confidence is not the starting point. It is the output of working in an environment that actually creates the conditions for it. And if your confidence is gone, the first question to ask is not what is wrong with you. It is what is wrong with your workplace.SUMMARY & GUEST INTROIf you have ever been told to just be more confident and wondered why that advice never actually works, Aoife O'Brien has spent years researching the answer - and it is not what most people want to hear. She started her career thriving, working for companies that invested in their people and recognized their contributions. She thought every company was like that. She was wrong. Her last few corporate roles left her hollow and burnt out, passed over for promotions, experiencing misogyny, and watching her confidence erode so completely that it started affecting her life outside of work too. She spent the next several years getting her MSc in Organizational Behaviour, founding Happier at Work, building a top 2% globally ranked podcast (and Business Podcast of the Year winner), and writing Thriving Talent - an Irish Times bestseller that makes the case that the problem with work is almost never the people. It is the environment in which they are asked to perform.INSIDE THE EPISODEThe Moment She Knew She Had to Leave. Aoife was passed over for a promotion that had been promised to her - and found out when a colleague, who had become her new boss without anyone telling her, pulled her into a meeting to ask about her clients. She turned into what she calls a petulant child. She was overloaded with work, finding quiet offices to cry in at night. And then she handed in her resignation letter on the train on the way to work one morning.The Organizational Culture Hangover. A toxic boss does not just affect you in the job you are in. You carry it into the next one. Aoife describes taking a decade to recover from the impact of her first bad experience, and how the doubts it planted followed her into her next role - where she was promoted to senior leadership and told herself every story possible about why she did not really deserve it.We Fix the People Instead of Fixing the Environment. Resilience training. Imposter syndrome workshops. Confidence coaching. All of these put the work on the individual while leaving the environment that created the problem completely untouched. Aoife makes the case for looking at both - what individuals need and what organizations are responsible for creating - at the same time.The Thriving Talent Framework: Psychological Safety, Culture, Drivers, Capabilities, Leadership. Aoife walks through her framework for what organizations actually need to get right. The foundation is psychological safety - without it, nothing else works. Above that: creating cultures that don't just survive but actually enable people to do their best work, understanding what truly motivates each individual, building on real capabilities rather than ego-driven promotions, and leadership that develops people rather than leaving them alone or micromanaging them.86% of People Are Not Fulfilling Their Potential at Work. Aoife ran a LinkedIn survey. Not scientific, she acknowledges, but 86% of respondents said they did not feel like they were fulfilling their potential at work. She breaks down why - including the fact that most people cannot articulate what they are actually good at or what value they bring that is genuinely different from everyone else.If You Can't Leave Yet - Start Planning the Exit. For the woman in a toxic situation who does not have the financial means to just walk out: start making the plan. Stop tolerating it and grinding through quarters hoping it will change. It almost never does. Reach out to your people. Activate your network. And in the meantime, shift the mindset from 'I have to be here' to 'I am choosing to be here so I can fund my exit.'It Was Not Your Fault. The final question Erica asks: what would you tell the woman who is in the toxic situation and wondering if she caused it? Aoife's answer: it is not your fault. This is how the system was built. You did not choose this environment. It just happened to be where you landed.RESOURCES & LINKSBook: Thriving Talent - Aoife O'Brien: https://thrivingtalentbook.com/Happier at Work Website: https://happieratwork.ie/Happier at Work Podcast: https://happieratwork.ie/happier-at-work-podcast/Aoife O'Brien on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/aoifemobrien/ ERICA'S RESOURCES & LINKSStart small with me inside HER Jumpstart:https://her-collective.mn.co/plans/1985289?bundle_token=60b2c61d62213cdbd16d437cdc0e4204&utm_source=manual

“I wanted a to-do list that would do itself.” In this Technology Reseller News podcast, Jon Cheney, founder of the General AI Proficiency Institute, discusses how GenAIPI is helping organizations move from experimenting with AI to actually putting it to work across the business. Cheney says GenAIPI began as an AI training and advisory company after he saw how many successful businesses were still struggling to understand practical AI adoption. That work eventually led to GENA, the company's enterprise AI platform. GENA stands for Generative Execution Neural Architecture. Cheney describes it as a central AI brain that connects with the applications a company already uses, including email, CRM, collaboration, finance and project-management platforms. The platform supports roughly 1,500 integrations and can work across systems such as Google Workspace, Slack, HubSpot, QuickBooks, Microsoft tools and others. Rather than simply answering questions, GENA is designed to take action. It can create and assign tasks, draft and send communications, work with company data, participate in meetings, identify follow-up items and execute authorized workflows. “The more you use GENA, the more valuable it becomes,” Cheney says. A major focus is enterprise governance. Companies can define exactly which employees can access particular systems, information and AI capabilities. An entry-level employee, for example, would not be able to access board meeting information simply because the AI has access to it. That makes GENA particularly relevant for MSPs and technology partners helping customers bring AI into complex existing environments. For Cheney, the opportunity is not limited to one vertical. Construction companies have been strong early adopters, but GenAIPI is also working with companies across professional services, healthcare, security and other industries. The larger goal is to make AI useful without requiring every employee to become an AI expert. Cheney also argues that AI should augment people rather than eliminate the human element. “People are still going to win,” he says. “AI can do a lot, but it can't feel.” Visit GenAIPI.org to learn more.

John shares the 2 a.m. moment that forced him to confront hustle culture head-on, the research behind human focus cycles, and the framework he now calls the 3.3 rule: work up to three hours, then take a 30 percent recovery break. Since implementing it, his firm has grown 492 percent while holding a 42-hour work week during tax season, the industry's busiest and most burnout-prone stretch.John and William unpack why founders who centralize every decision cannot sell what they've built, how the 3.3 rule protects both output and family life, and what it actually takes to build a leadership team that runs without you.Connect with John Briggs: therealjohnbriggs.com linkedin.com/in/therealjohnbriggs Book & free tools: takebreaksworkbetter.comChapters 00:00 Welcome John Briggs 00:47 From accountant to firm leader: John's journey 02:51 Why hoarding decisions kills your business 06:09 The hustle culture wake up call behind the book 08:31 The 2am moment that changed everything 11:31 The science behind a 492% growth story 14:41 The hidden cost of the 8 hour workday 16:41 Your brain's natural focus and distraction cycle 17:56 Inside the 3.3 rule 20:38 What changed personally: presence, health, freedom 24:49 Redefining success beyond hustle culture 26:00 Where to find John and his bookI want to invite you to check out the Committed Mastermind, a community I help lead along with world-class leaders like JC and Karen Hite, Vinnie Fisher, and Jonathan Mast, plus incredible mentors like Dr. Gary Chapman, author of The 5 Love Languages, and many others.This is for entrepreneurs who want to build a thriving business without sacrificing their faith, their family, or their health.Check out the Committed Mastermind at https://committedmastermind.com/---- Check out Dr. William Attaway's new show, The Appreciation at Work Podcast!  Join Dr. William Attaway on the Catalytic Leadership podcast as he shares transformative insights to help high-performance entrepreneurs and agency owners achieve Clear-Minded Focus, Calm Control, and Confidence.Free 30-Minute Discovery Call:Ready to elevate your business?

David Wentworth, Managing Director of Learning and Talent at Brandon Hall Group™, hosts Zach Pendleton, Chief Architect at Instructure, for Brandon Hall Group's™ Excellence at Work Podcast on what happens when AI stops being a tool bolted onto existing work and starts reshaping the work itself. Pendleton works inside Instructure's research and development organization, translating what customers need in the classroom into technology strategy while trying to anticipate where the underlying technology is headed next. He brings that vantage point to a conversation about job boundaries, data, trust and what an AI strategy should actually prioritize.

Christian led organizations are called to care for people, steward resources wisely, and protect the organizations entrusted to them. Yet many for profit Christian owned companies, churches, ministries, and faith-based organizations may not fully understand one of their most significant areas of organizational risk: employment-related claims. In this episode of the Encouragement for Work Podcast, Mark A. Griffin sits down with Kyle Johnson, Corporate Counsel at Brotherhood Mutual Insurance Company, for an important conversation about Employment Practices Liability (EPL), insurance coverage, and the role strong HR practices play in protecting Christian organizations. Kyle brings a legal and insurance perspective to a subject every leader should understand. Employment decisions, workplace complaints, allegations of discrimination or harassment, termination decisions, and other employee-related matters can create significant financial, legal, and reputational exposure for an organization. The challenge is that many leaders may assume their existing insurance provides protection without fully understanding what is and is not covered. For example, Brotherhood Mutual offers Employment Practices Liability coverage as an endorsement to its standard General Liability policy rather than as a standalone policy. Yet, according to information provided by Brotherhood Mutual's underwriting department, only about 43% of its CMP customers currently have EPL coverage. That raises an important question for Christian leaders: Do you really know how your organization is protected if an employment-related claim occurs? In this episode, you'll learn: What Employment Practices Liability coverage is and why it matters for churches, ministries, and other Christian organizations. Where organizations can unknowingly have gaps in coverage and why leaders should understand their policies before a workplace issue occurs. Why insurance alone isn't enough. Strong HR policies, effective employee and manager training, clear reporting channels, good documentation, and appropriate responses to workplace concerns can all help reduce organizational risk. How HR practices and insurance protection work together to help safeguard the organization, its employees, its leadership, and the mission it has been called to fulfill. What leaders should be asking their insurance provider now, rather than waiting until an employee complaint, termination, allegation, or lawsuit exposes a potential gap. This episode is for pastors, executive leaders, board members, HR professionals, and anyone responsible for protecting and stewarding a Christian organization. Listen & Learn Protecting your organization isn't simply about purchasing insurance or creating policies. It requires leaders to understand their risks, put sound employment practices in place, train their people, and prepare before a difficult situation occurs. Being proactive can help protect your people, your organization, and ultimately your ability to carry out your mission. Concerned about your organization's current HR practices, policies, or employment-related risk?

Honestly, when I started the podcast, I thought it was just that. A podcast. But it became so much more. The Brave Women at Work Podcast has been:A path to healing from burnoutA doorway to amazing friendships, business colleagues, and partnershipsA way to express myself creativelyA platform to build communityAnd a huge part of who I am and my purposeAs I reflected on my learnings, I have jotted down nine learnings. Some of them will sound familiar if you've been listening a while. Some might surprise you. Let's get right into it!LESSON 1: SOMETIMES YOU JUST NEED TO GO FOR ITWhen I started this podcast, I didn't know how to run a podcast. I was afraid — of sounding foolish, of nobody listening, of starting something I couldn't sustain.I did it anyway.And that's the first lesson, maybe the most important one: waiting until you feel ready means you might never start. Readiness is a myth we tell ourselves to stay safe. Sometimes the only way through fear is straight through it.LESSON 2: IT TAKES DISCIPLINE — AND IT REWARDS MORE THAN JUST YOUHere's what nobody tells you about 300 episodes: inspiration will not get you there. Inspiration is unreliable. It shows up when it feels like it.Discipline is what shows up every week — whether you feel like it or not, whether the episode's easy or hard, whether you're excited or exhausted. Three hundred episodes is not a monument to motivation. It's a monument to discipline.And here's what I didn't expect: that discipline wasn't just a gift to myself. I used to think of it as a private commitment — something I owed only to my own goals. But showing up consistently became a gift to everyone who kept coming back, week after week, expecting this show to be here. Consistency isn't just self-discipline. It's a form of care for other people too.LESSON 3: YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT WILL BECOME YOUR ARTI didn't set out to make this podcast my art. It started as a project, an idea, maybe even an experiment.Somewhere along the way, it became something else. It became the thing I think about, care about, pour myself into. And I think that's true more broadly — you don't always know in advance what will become the thing that defines you. Sometimes you have to commit to something before you understand what it actually is.LESSON 4: LISTENING IS THE PATH TO LEARNINGEvery single guest on this show has taught me something I couldn't have learned by talking.The best moments in 300 episodes weren't when I had the perfect question or the sharpest insight. They were when I got out of my own way and just listened. Listening isn't passive — it's actually the harder skill. And it's the one that taught me the most.LESSON 5: THE ROAD IS LONG AND WINDING, AND THERE WILL BE POTHOLESThere was no straight line from episode 1 to episode 300. I thought there might be — a clean, upward path. That's not what happened.The road curved in directions I didn't plan for. Topics I never expected to cover. Seasons where the show changed shape entirely.And along the way — bad episodes, technical failures, weeks I wanted to quit entirely. I used to think those potholes meant I was doing something wrong. Now I know they're just part of the road, not a detour from the journey, but the journey itself. If you're doing anything long enough, you will hit potholes. The lesson isn't to avoid them. It's to keep driving.LESSON 6: MOTIVATION SHOWS UP IN THE ODDEST PLACESNot always where I expected it. A comment from a listener I'd never met. A guest's offhand remark that stuck with me for weeks. A message that arrived on exactly the day I needed it.I stopped looking for motivation in the big, obvious places. Some of the smallest, strangest moments are what kept me going.LESSON 7: HEALING COMES IN INTERESTING

This week Greg and I are officially one week out from the show, so we talk through all the last-minute details and what it takes to be ready before the real prep even begins. We also get into training, Greg getting ready for fatherhood, the weight social media puts on us, and how the little things we do every day compound over a lifetime. Plus, we reminisce about our old fast-food habits, talk microplastics, and somehow end up discussing blowing up little green Army men. Just another day at The Work.Greg Mahler is also a lifetime natural bodybuilder, and can be followed on Instagramhttps://www.instagram.com/ketogreg80/Register For My FREE Masterclass: https://www.ketobodybuilding.com/registration-2Get Keto Brick: https://www.ketobrick.com/Subscribe to the podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/42cjJssghqD01bdWBxRYEg?si=1XYKmPXmR4eKw2O9gGCEuQ

Send us Fan MailChad T. Jenkins launched more than fifty businesses before he decided to stop launching companies altogether. What he found was that the fastest growth never came from building alone. Chad, owner and CEO of SEEDSPARK and founder of SEEDSPARK CoLAB, joins William to make the case for collaboration over competition, and to show how the assets already sitting in your business become leverage the moment you combine them with someone else's. He walks through the VCR formula he learned from Dean Jackson, vision plus capability times reach, and unpacks how Kylie Jenner's lip kits and a single Nike and Tiffany collaboration prove the math. Along the way he explains the "exploded parts view" of an entrepreneur, the I AMs that make each leader unique, and why his task list has two columns instead of one.

He did what so many agency founders dream about: he removed himself from the center of his own business and turned it into an exit ready agency.Damiano shares the moment his son's health crisis forced him to step away, what he rebuilt on the other side, and the enterprise sales strategies that helped him close $25M in deals.

Greg and I are back for another episode of The Work, and this one covers everything from the recent avocado oil controversy and why ingredient quality matters, to keeping nutrition simple, planning ahead, and actually living the lifestyle you preach. We also recap the Brick by Brick promo, talk alternate-day fasting, my upcoming 50 Mile March, the Natural State Savages competition, future retreats, and why my new mattress may have completely changed the recovery game. As usual, we eventually go off the rails and somehow end up discussing cowboy boots, homemade mayo, and exactly how four adults could sleep on one king-sized mattress.

Supplements and health technologies can support the body in very different ways. In this episode we will talk about how they differ, why delivery methods matter, and how to choose the right approach. When most people think about improving their health, they often think about supplements. Vitamins. Minerals. Herbs. Amino acids. Nutrients. But supplements aren't the only tools available. Today, there are also many different health technologies designed to interact with the body in ways that don't involve taking a pill, powder, or liquid. So what's the difference? And how do you know which approach is right for you? The answer begins with understanding that supplements and health technologies are fundamentally different categories. They may have completely different mechanisms of action and delivery methods. That's why I believe it's important to understand how each works before deciding whether it deserves a place in your overall health approach. How Supplements Work Supplements generally provide the body with substances that it can use. Depending on the supplement, this might include: Vitamins Minerals Amino acids Fatty acids Herbs Enzymes Other nutritional compounds...   Click Here or Click the link below for more details! https://naturallyrecoveringautism.com/252

Send us Fan MailThe leadership pressure test reveals what a leader has already practiced. In this episode, I sit down with Jon Sheldon, founder of BelleauWood Coaching, to explore the leadership pressure test through lessons he learned as a Marine squad leader and Fortune 500 sales executive.Jon explains why clear decisions begin with knowing yourself. His professional blueprint centers on purpose, vision, the environment where you thrive, and what motivates you. Then he pressure-tests those answers against real behavior. Courage is more than a value on paper. A leader has to show where courage held and where it gave way.We also talk about radical honesty, the cost of making firm calls, and the discipline of keeping the mission in view when emotion runs high. Jon shares a simple framework for those moments: define the mission, name the obstacle, and choose the first action. If you lead a team through growth or uncertainty, this conversation offers a grounded way to respond with clarity.Chapter Breakdown00:00 Meet Jon Sheldon: Marine Leader and Executive Coach02:29 How Responsibility Forged a Leader05:12 Why Mistakes Are Inevitable Under Pressure06:40 Learning to Think 13 Moves Ahead08:54 The Mission, Obstacle, Actions Framework10:06 Build Your Professional Leadership Blueprint13:33 Pressure-Test the Leader You Claim to Be15:26 Why a Four-Hour Seminar Cannot Build a Leader17:49 Radical Honesty and the Courage to Be Unpopular20:35 The Cost and Loneliness of Leadership24:20 Protect Time to Keep Growing as a Leader29:19 Books That Make Leadership PracticalBooks MentionedThe Obstacle Is the Way by Ryan HolidayLeadership Strategy and Tactics: Field Manual by Jocko WillinkNever Split the Difference by Chris VossBecause I Said I Would by Alex SheenYour Desired Future by Dr. Henry CloudA Return on Failure by John C.

Sometimes the best decisions only reveal themselves after we've made them.Six months ago, I merged my new podcast, Unprofessionalism, with the existing Workshops Work feed. It felt like the right move at the time. But the download statistics told a different story.Many listeners searching for Workshops Work kept finding only the episode titled “The Final Episode of Workshops Work” and understandably assumed the podcast had disappeared.In this short episode, I share why I decided to separate the two podcasts again—and why both shows now have their own dedicated homes.If you're interested in facilitation, workshop design, group dynamics, and the philosophy behind meaningful conversations, you're in the right place.If you're looking for the Unprofessionalism podcast, you'll find it here: https://unprofessionalism.buzzsprout.com/Any thoughts?

We also talk about training, body composition, why patience beats constant dieting, and the value of making one change at a time instead of chasing quick results. We wrap things up with updates on new apparel, upcoming Keto Brick products, and what's next behind the scenes.

Send us Fan MailAre you leading every person on your team the exact same way and wondering why it's stopped working? In this episode, I sit down with Sam Shriver and Suzie Bishop of the Center for Leadership Studies, co-authors of a new book applying the situational leadership model to today's fast-changing workplace. Sam brings 45+ years of research into this framework; Suzie leads product innovation at CLS after 15 years of turning research into real-world training. Together, we unpack why one-size-fits-all leadership breaks down during constant change, how the situational leadership model gives you a repeatable way to diagnose exactly what each person needs task by task, and why trust erodes the moment you skip that step. We also dig into Gallup's engagement data and why adaptability, not just intelligence, is becoming the defining leadership skill in the AI era. If you've ever felt like you're leading in the dark, this conversation hands you the lens to lead with clarity again.Books MentionedSituational Leadership®: The Model for Leading Others, Navigating Change, and Unlocking Performance by Sam Shriver and Suzie BishopManagement of Organizational Behavior by Paul HerseyConnect with Sam Shriver and Suzie Bishop on LinkedIn, explore their work at situational.com, and pick up their new book on the situational leadership model at Barnes & Noble, Amazon, or your favorite retailer.I want to invite you to check out the Committed Mastermind, a community I help lead along with world-class leaders like JC and Karen Hite, Vinnie Fisher, and Jonathan Mast, plus incredible mentors like Dr. Gary Chapman, author of The 5 Love Languages, and many others.This is for entrepreneurs who want to build a thriving business without sacrificing their faith, their family, or their health.Check out the Committed Mastermind at https://committedmastermind.com/---- Check out Dr. William Attaway's new show, The Appreciation at Work Podcast!  Join Dr. William Attaway on the Catalytic Leadership podcast as he shares transformative insights to help high-performance entrepreneurs and agency owners achieve Clear-Minded Focus, Calm Control, and Confidence.Free 30-Minute Discovery Call:Ready to elevate your business?

Comedian Karan Singh joins Justin for one of those episodes that starts with a name pronunciation and somehow ends up in Virginia Tech crime stories, Kash Patel impressions, plastic surgery office chaos, dating apps, bad jobs, local comedy, family expectations, and possibly the meanest grandma story ever told on the show.Karan talks about going from “K Squizzy” to his real name, growing up in Northern Virginia, getting into stand-up, performing in weird rooms, getting fired, working around plastic surgery content, and why comedy might be the only reasonable response to everything getting worse.Follow Karan Singh:Instagram: @ksinghcomedyThreads:  @Ksinghcomedy  Follow the Podcast:

Send us Fan MailYou know what good leadership looks like. The question is: what happens to it when the pressure hits?This week, I sat down with Ed Brzychcy, Army infantry veteran, former Babson College professor, and organizational culture consultant to mid-market high-growth companies. Ed spent over a decade researching what separates the CEOs of the fastest-growing companies from everyone else, and what he found wasn't what he expected.It wasn't the culture artifacts. It wasn't the perks or the values on the wall. It was how the leaders grew. And there's a specific four-stage journey every one of them walked through, including one stage that Ed says was emotionally harder than anything they faced at the beginning.If you're building a team and wondering why leadership under pressure keeps breaking down, this conversation is going to give you a clear map and the courage to take the next step on it.Books MentionedThomas Willing: The Banker Who Made America by George VagueLost Worlds by Patrick WymanConnect with Ed on LinkedIn, or visit his website at leadfromthefront.net.I want to invite you to check out the Committed Mastermind, a community I help lead along with world-class leaders like JC and Karen Hite, Vinnie Fisher, and Jonathan Mast, plus incredible mentors like Dr. Gary Chapman, author of The 5 Love Languages, and many others.This is for entrepreneurs who want to build a thriving business without sacrificing their faith, their family, or their health.Check out the Committed Mastermind at https://committedmastermind.com/---- Check out Dr. William Attaway's new show, The Appreciation at Work Podcast!  Join Dr. William Attaway on the Catalytic Leadership podcast as he shares transformative insights to help high-performance entrepreneurs and agency owners achieve Clear-Minded Focus, Calm Control, and Confidence.Free 30-Minute Discovery Call:Ready to elevate your business?

As always, it's a little bit business, a little bit bodybuilding, and a whole lot of real life.Greg Mahler is also a lifetime natural bodybuilder, and can be followed on Instagramhttps://www.instagram.com/ketogreg80/Register For My FREE Masterclass: https://www.ketobodybuilding.com/registration-2Get Keto Brick: https://www.ketobrick.com/Subscribe to the podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/42cjJssghqD01bdWBxRYEg?si=1XYKmPXmR4eKw2O9gGCEuQ

Send us Fan MailYou roll out a new system. You cast the vision. You wait for buy-in, and instead you get silence, slow adoption, or quiet workarounds. It is not because your people do not care. My guest this week, Travis Hahler, Senior Director of Global Strategy and Transformation at Salesforce and founder of The Neurological Nomad, has spent his career studying why 70% of organizational transformations fail, and how the other 30% succeed. We unpack why resistance to change is never a character flaw, why every change creates loss (even a promotion), and why the brain weighs that loss roughly ten times heavier than any gain. Travis gives you a way to read resistance to change as information instead of an obstacle, so you can lead your team (and yourself) through it with clarity instead of force.Books MentionedRethink Resistance: Embracing Neuroscience to Lead Transformational Change by Travis Hahler (available everywhere books are sold beginning June 23rd)Connect with Travis on LinkedIn or through his website https://linktr.ee/theneurologicalnomad, where you'll find links to his new book, Rethink Resistance, releasing June 23rd.Check out Dr. William Attaway's new show, The Appreciation at Work Podcast!  Join Dr. William Attaway on the Catalytic Leadership podcast as he shares transformative insights to help high-performance entrepreneurs and agency owners achieve Clear-Minded Focus, Calm Control, and Confidence.Free 30-Minute Discovery Call:Ready to elevate your business?

In this episode, Greg and I bounce around from getting systems organized, to natural bodybuilding, to dirty sodas, to why committing early matters more than waiting until everything feels perfect.We talk through the projects we're working on, the upcoming competition, getting competitors registered, and the importance of staying intentional with your time, your health, and what you allow into your life. It's a little bit business, a little bit bodybuilding, a little bit life, and a whole lot of miscellaneous soup.Greg Mahler is also a lifetime natural bodybuilder, and can be followed on Instagramhttps://www.instagram.com/ketogreg80/Register For My FREE Masterclass: https://www.ketobodybuilding.com/registration-2Get Keto Brick: https://www.ketobrick.com/Subscribe to the podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/42cjJssghqD01bdWBxRYEg?si=1XYKmPXmR4eKw2O9gGCEuQ

This week Greg and I got into a little bit of everything, from storms knocking the power out to poison hemlock trying to take over the property. Somehow that turned into a conversation about toxins, common sense, and why nature does not always care if you know what you are doing.We also went down the rabbit hole of looks maxing, fiber maxing, life maxing, and all the weird ways people try to shortcut the work. At the end of the day, you can fake a lot of things online, but you cannot fake discipline, consistency, or actually doing the hard stuff. We also touched on the sardine experiment, heavy metals, higher fat keto, training performance, and why sometimes more protein is not always better.Greg Mahler is also a lifetime natural bodybuilder, and can be followed on Instagramhttps://www.instagram.com/ketogreg80/Register For My FREE Masterclass: https://www.ketobodybuilding.com/registration-2Get Keto Brick: https://www.ketobrick.com/Subscribe to the podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/42cjJssghqD01bdWBxRYEg?si=1XYKmPXmR4eKw2O9gGCEuQ

The sardine fast is officially in the rearview mirror — and I'm here to give you the full debrief. Five days, 18 cans a day, 3,000 calories of sardines. Was it miserable? Mostly. Was it worth it? That depends on what you're trying to prove. I did it to cut through the noise around these viral "miracle" food fasts, and the takeaway is simple: there's no magic. Calories are calories, and context matters every time.Beyond the experiment, Greg and I get into what's moving at Keto Brick HQ — Primal Fudge is back in stock, apparel is closing in on launch, and we've got some new things in the kitchen we're not quite ready to talk about yet. We also touch on the upcoming bodybuilding shows we're involved with this month.And then the conversation goes somewhere real. With the anniversary of Greg's dad's passing coming up, we talk about loss, the passage of time, and why you can't afford to keep putting off the people who matter most. This one's worth a listen.Greg Mahler is also a lifetime natural bodybuilder, and can be followed on Instagramhttps://www.instagram.com/ketogreg80/Register For My FREE Masterclass: https://www.ketobodybuilding.com/registration-2Get Keto Brick: https://www.ketobrick.com/Subscribe to the podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/42cjJssghqD01bdWBxRYEg?si=1XYKmPXmR4eKw2O9gGCEuQ
