Aspire with Emma Grede sponsors and ad reads

If you've ever worked in sales or run a team that does, this stat will hit a nerve. Sales teams spend about 50% of their time on admin work, entering data, chasing updates, logging activity, instead of selling, building relationships and closing deals. If the tool you're using is creating more work than it removes, something has gone fundamentally wrong. That is where today's sponsor, Pipedrive, comes in, a simple, intelligent CRM tool loved by growing sales teams. Pipedrive was built from the ground up to strip away manual work, smart automations that handle the repetitive stuff like follow-up reminders, deal updates, and activity logging. You can customize the automations to fit your own sales process, and the AI features analyze your pipeline, flag stored deals, and surface what needs your attention so your team isn't going looking for it. Switch to a CRM built by salespeople for salespeople and join the over 100,000 companies already using Pipedrive. My link gets you an exclusive 30 days free instead of the usual 14-day trial. No credit card or payment needed. Just head to pipedrive.com slash aspire to get started. That's pipedrive.com slash aspire and you can be up and running in just minutes.

The healthcare model most of us grew up with is reactive. You wait until something feels wrong and then you go and try and figure it out. What's been interesting to watch is the shift towards something more proactive with real data and real visibility into what's happening before it becomes a problem. Superpower is one of the platforms making that shift accessible. They're built around comprehensive biomarker testing that gives you a real read on your heart, hormones, metabolism, vitamin and mineral levels, and so much more. A licensed professional comes to your home for the lab test, or you can visit a nearby lab. Your results come back in the Superpower app alongside an actionable plan. What's smart about the platform is that it tracks everything over time. Each test builds on the last so you can see trends in your own data year over year without having to start from scratch. You can also upload past lab results into the platform, which keeps everything in one place instead of scattered across different patient portals. Make this the year you stop guessing about your health with superpower. For a limited time, our listeners get $20 off to unlock their new health intelligence. Head over to superpower.com and use code ASPIRE for $20 off your $199 superpower membership. And after you sign up, they'll ask you how you heard about superpower. Tell them, ASPIRE with Emma Greed sent you to support our show.

If you've followed me for any amount of time, you know that I believe one of the most important investments you can make is in yourself, your body, your foundation, your long game. That's the lens I bring to anything I put into my routine. That's why Armour Colostrum has stayed in mine. It's a bioactive whole food with over 400 bioactive nutrients that work at the cellular level. It fortifies gut health, strengthens immune health, and supports the way your body naturally renews itself. It's pure, potent, natural, and clean. For me, the difference has been the consistency right across the board. Better digestion, steadier energy, and the kind of compounding result you only see when you support the foundation. It's a physician-founded brand, four daily scoops, and one of the most reliable habits I've kept. We've worked out a special offer for my audience. Receive 30% off your first subscription order.

Bitcoin has been part of the financial conversation for years now, but what's changed more recently is that it's becoming something people actually use, not just something they hold. Cash App is one of the platforms making that shift easier. Bitcoin is often talked about as an investment, but it was built to be used. With Cash App, you can actually do that. Send Bitcoin instantly, pay at local Square businesses that accept it, or move it to your own wallet whenever you want. It works more like real money and less like something locked in an account. For a limited time, new customers can get $10 added to their balance. Just use code CASHAPP10 when you sign up. And don't forget this part. Send at least $5 to a friend in the first two weeks. Terms apply. Cash App is a financial services platform, not a bank. Banking services provided by Cash App's bank partners. Bitcoin services provided by Block Inc. For more additional information, see the Bitcoin disclosures at cash.app slash legal slash podcast.

every business that I've built. The minute you start cutting corners on the things that matter, the materials, the fit, the ingredients, the experience, you lose what made the brand worth showing up for in the first place. That same standard is how I try to live the rest of my life too. Balancing a couple of businesses and four kids means that my days are full, and somewhere in there, I still actually have to eat. Now, for the longest time, the assumption was that healthy snacking on the go was where you accepted the trade-off. Even the macros were good, and the food tasted like it was made for someone in pain, or the food was good and the ingredient list was just full of things that you'd rather not be putting in your body. That's the gap that stars and honey was built to close. The founders looked at the protein bar category and realized consumers were still being asked to settle. So, they built the bar they wish existed. What I respect about how they did it,

There's a specific feeling that hits in mid-July. Summer is still going, but you can feel it starting to shift. And there's a natural pull to make the most of the weeks that are still here. Trips, gatherings, beach days, the things that don't get rescheduled to October. That's the part of the season Macy's is leaning into right now. Whether it's a last-minute getaway, a new swimsuit because the old one isn't doing it anymore, sunglasses that actually look right on your face, or a carry-on that's seen better days, Macy's has the whole thing in one place. And if you're already starting to think about what comes next, back to school, back to work, full wardrobe, they're set up for that too. You can ease into the transition on your own pace without having to make it feel like a hard switch. Macy's is the kind of store that meets you wherever you are in the season.

Let's be honest, finding supplements you actually trust really can feel like a lot. There's so much out there and it's not always clear what you're really getting. That's why I try to be intentional about what I add into my routine and Symbiotica is one I like because the focus is simple, clean, science-backed ingredients that your body can actually absorb. One that stands out to me is their NAD+. It supports cellular energy and overall vitality, which for me just translates to feeling more steady day-to-day. I also like how easy it is to take. Everything comes in these single-use pouches so that you can take it straight or mix it into whatever you're drinking. No peels, no extra steps. And that's really the point. It's not about adding more to your routine. It's about choosing things that actually support how you want to feel. Go to symbiotica.com slash aspire to get 20% off plus free shipping.
