Pam Weatherford reposted thisPam Weatherford reposted thisA 12 year old boy walks into my office having already seen a psychiatrist, an allergist, a lung doctor, maybe a GI doctor. Seven different drugs by age 12. Kicked out of kindergarten for being disruptive. Diagnosed with ADHD and put on stimulant medication for years. Nobody connected the dots. He also had asthma, headaches, stomachaches, insomnia. Each doctor treated their one piece and ignored the rest. I did a full workup instead of writing another prescription. His gut microbiome was a mess. Leaky gut. Elevated gluten antibodies. Reacting to dairy. Fungal overgrowth. Low zinc, low magnesium, low B6, low folate, low omega 3s. Lead toxicity. He ate only processed food. Never a vegetable in his life. So we removed the gluten, dairy, sugar and processed food. Rebuilt his microbiome with probiotics. Treated the fungal overgrowth. Chelated the lead. Corrected the nutrient deficiencies with magnesium, zinc, fish oil. Two months later his mother brought him back. No more symptoms. No more meds. No more behavioral issues. And his handwriting went from illegible to perfect penmanship. Same kid, same brain, two months apart. That handwriting change is what made me write The UltraMind Solution. A brain that chaotic and disorganized became coherent and synchronized once we fixed what was happening in his body. The writing on the page was just a reflection of what was happening in his gut. ADHD is not a brain problem. It's a systemic problem that shows up in the brain. If your kid's brain isn't working right, don't just look north of the neck. Look at what's happening south of the border first.

Pam Weatherford shared thisI attended a great professional development session today with the Greater Arlington Chamber of Commerce Women's Alliance. Tameka R. and Stephanie Buduhan shared tips on burning BRIGHT rather than burning OUT. Participants shared ways that they reset in the areas of Boundaries, Mindset, Body, and Connections (attached). What are some ways you RESET so you can burn BRIGHT rather than burn OUT?

Pam Weatherford shared thisI'm turning 60 this year, so I made a list of "60 things to do before I turn 60." (Thank you, Christine Caine, for the idea. She's also turning 60 this year.) One thing on my list is to "make a lattice-topped pie," something I've never done before. Today was the day. And what better way to celebrate our nation's 250th birthday than with an All-American cherry pie? "So how did it go?" you might ask. Let's start with the obvious.... - One can of pie filling was not enough. Apparently, my pie plate is deeper than most. Who knew? - The pie shifted to one side. I have no idea why. But you know what? I did it! And I learned a few things in the process: - It doesn't have to be perfect. It doesn't even have to be good. The important thing is trying something new that I hadn't done before. - Making a lattice top is fun! (And easy, if you watch a simple YouTube video ahead of time.) - Just getting it done feels like a huge accomplishment....one step closer to achieving 60 new things before my birthday. (I've now done 23.) - Research shows that trying new things helps keep your brain active. It stimulates your brain's neuroplasticity, which is important for preventing Alzheimer's. So... Is it pretty? No Am I going to enter the next lattice-top pie making contest? Also no Will I ever make another lattice-topped pie? Most likely, yes! Am I going to enjoy the fruits of my labor? Absolutely! Probably with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top. So, as I enjoy my pie, I've gotta ask.... What have you been wanting to try but haven't yet? What's holding you back? How would it feel to finally do "the thing"....whatever that is? Don't wait until you know exactly how to do it. Don't wait until others say it's okay. Don't wait. Just.Do.It. Because no matter how it turns out, you'll learn something in the process. Your brain will thank you. And you might just discover your new favorite thing to do!

Pam Weatherford liked thisPam Weatherford liked this46 grand openings in the next 90 days. Seven brands. One training room this week. That's where I spent my time: new franchisee training, watching people who just signed on the dotted line take notes on how to open the doors of their own small business. Some left corporate jobs to do this. Some are second generation entrepreneurs. All of them bet on us. I remember sitting in a folding chair in a garage office in Southlake in 2011, wondering if anyone would ever bet on the idea at all. Now I get to stand in front of a room full of people who did. Franchising is not a shortcut. It is a partnership. We hand over the brand, the systems, the shared services. They hand over the sweat equity, the local roots, the risk. Neither side gets there alone. Every one of these 46 openings is a family betting on a Saturday morning that means something. Proud of what we've built — excited for what's next.

Pam Weatherford liked thisPam Weatherford liked thisThirty-five thousand feet up, I unwrapped another Biscoff cookie and did the math. One million miles on American Airlines. Alone. Not counting Southwest, Delta, or whatever carrier got me to a franchise site in a town I had to Google first. If Biscoff cookies were currency, I would be a wealthy man. Every gate, every delay, every 6 a.m. flight: another little red wrapper, another coffee I did not need but drank anyway. Here is what nobody tells you about the road. It is not glamorous. It is a middle seat, rereading a deck for the fourth time, a stranger's elbow on the armrest. The mileage does not build itself. Most people see a frequent flyer and think someone has arrived. I see someone who has not stopped moving. The miles are not the destination. They are proof of the reps. Next time you unwrap a Biscoff cookie on a flight, let it be a cheers. To every founder, every franchisee, every road warrior grinding toward something bigger than the seat they are sitting in.

Trina Plamondon DipWSET
Why a $90K Wine Director Role Is Quietly a $3M+ Responsibility On paper, this is a strong role. Curate a thoughtful wine list. Train the team. Engage guests. Manage suppliers. Support events. In a hotel or multi-outlet restaurant, wine revenue can easily exceed $3M annually. A 10–15% improvement is not a small win. It’s meaningful money. Yet one of the most critical responsibilities is often underdeveloped or misunderstood: Managing procurement, pricing, and inventory as a unified system. Not as separate tasks. Procurement determines what is even possible to sell. Inventory determines whether cash is working… or sitting And relationships with importers and wineries are not just social. They are strategic assets. Access. Allocation. Terms. Positioning. When managed with precision, this layer alone can change the financial performance of a program. What’s missing is simple, and often overlooked, wine is being treated as a collection, not a system. The strongest programs separate two functions, experience and performance. The sommelier owns the guest. The system owns procurement, pricing, inventory, and supply relationships. When those two are aligned, something shifts. Wine stops being a beautiful accessory to the business… and becomes one of the most reliable profit drivers in the room. Most wine programs are curated. Very few are designed.

As founder of MYO Restaurant Consulting, I help McKinney and Dallas independents implement three operational profit levers this week. 1) Menu engineering — increase average check by promoting high-margin items. 2) Labor scheduling — align shifts to peak hours to cut labor costs. 3) Portion-cost discipline — reduce COGS through consistent portions and vendor buy-ins. These are field-tested fixes for startups and independent operators with measurable outcomes. Learn more: https://wix.to/Pj3TFGi #RestaurantGrowth #FoodService #McKinneyTX
