Welcome to Manufacturing Greatness with Trevor Blondeel, where we work with organizations to manufacture greatness by leveraging resources you already have to achieve greater retention, productivity, and profits. To learn more, visit www.manufacturinggreatness.com and click here to subscribe to Trevor's monthly newsletter. Now, let's jump in! In this episode, Bruce Mayhew, corporate trainer, keynote speaker, executive coach, and author, shares insights on manufacturing leadership, communication skills, and trust building for Operations Managers, Production Managers, Manufacturing Managers, and Shift Supervisors. You'll learn why traditional command-and-control leadership no longer works in today's plants — and how curiosity-driven leadership, authentic communication, and continuous improvement help manufacturing leaders close the skills gap, strengthen employee engagement, and drive real team performance. Bruce breaks down how everyday leadership behaviors directly impact culture, safety, accountability, and results — especially as manufacturing organizations face labor shortages, workforce challenges, and generational shifts on the shop floor. This conversation connects soft skills with operational excellence, showing leaders how to move from reaction to intention, from blame to curiosity, and from siloed management to connected leadership. 01:30 – As generational shifts place millennials in leadership roles, it can create tension between siloed leadership and collaborative, flatter manufacturing cultures. 03:49–Purpose and meaning drive effective leadership, stronger relationships, and healthier workplace culture. 06:12–Disconnects between executives and the shop floor weaken teamwork and long-term manufacturing performance. 07:19–Self-awareness and emotional intelligence enable leaders to adapt communication styles across manufacturing teams. 08:58–Respect on the shop floor comes from meeting people where they are, not talking down to them. 09:44–High performance in manufacturing is unlocked through meaningful conversations rather than top-down directives. 16:27–Transparency grows when leaders listen first and elevate frontline voices. 18:33- Shared pride in quality and reputation strengthens team identity and manufacturing excellence. 20:15–Curiosity-driven leadership replaces blame-focused problem solving with appreciative inquiry. 23:31–Positive exploration increases engagement by empowering teams instead of punishing them. 25:09 - Accountability works best when leaders replace interrogation with curiosity-based performance conversations.

Truth Be Told with Booker Scott – Political spectacle drowns out the hard work of governing as leaders trade answers for performances. Transparency fades, victims are sidelined, and economic realities are reduced to campaign slogans. From immigration and education to alliances abroad, competence is tested daily. Accountability, evidence, and civic responsibility must replace theater before trust erodes further...
In this episode of The Jimmy Rex Show, we dive deep into the idea that your brain may be distorting reality more than you realize. The author of Your Brain Is a Filthy Liar explains how childhood inputs create unconscious patterns that shape perception, emotional response, and behavior.We discuss brain pattern mapping, emotional addiction cycles, how perception drives behavior, and why awareness alone isn't enough to create change. If you've ever felt stuck in repeating the same destructive habits, this conversation breaks down how those patterns are formed — and how they can be rewired.Follow Bizzie here: https://www.instagram.com/bizziegold/?hl=en

If your goal is to "recover from your eating disorder," what happens when you get there? Then what? Here's the problem: When you set the goal to recover, you're setting a goal with a finish line. But recovery isn't a destination. It's a journey of BECOMING. In this episode, I'm challenging you to shift your focus from what you want to change to who you need to become to achieve freedom. And it starts with understanding your NOW needs. Using Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs, I break down why you can't move forward in recovery if your basic needs aren't even being met—and what to do about it RIGHT NOW. In this episode, you'll discover: Why setting a goal to "recover" sabotages your success What recovery will make OF you (not just what it will give you) The problem: You're reinforcing a belief that you can't find freedom Maslow's Hierarchy explained: Basic needs → Psychological needs → Self-fulfillment Why you can't function without basic needs met (food, water, sleep, safety, stability) How the eating disorder hijacks your brain and keeps you from meeting essential needs Why low self-esteem and broken relationships stem from unmet BASIC needs The shift: Stop focusing on what you want to change, start focusing on who you want to BECOME One challenge: Do one thing every day you don't want to do How to validate your feelings, own your needs, and grant yourself permission The truth: No one is going to recover FOR you—you have to do something about it The wake-up call: You decide where your time goes. And if you don't decide, the world will decide for you. MASLOW'S HIERARCHY OF NEEDS & ED RECOVERY The 5-Tier Model: 1. BASIC/SURVIVAL NEEDS (Foundation) Food, water, air, sleep, shelter, clothing, safety, stability, predictability The problem: When your brain has been hijacked by an eating disorder, you're not even getting these basic needs met. Without nourishment, you literally can't function. 2. PSYCHOLOGICAL NEEDS (Built on Basic Needs) Social connections, relationships, self-esteem, confidence, intimate connection, friendships, accomplishments, independence, self-respect The truth: If your basic needs aren't met, your psychological needs WON'T be met. This is why you have low self-esteem. This is why relationships feel broken. 3. SELF-FULFILLMENT NEEDS (Top of Pyramid) Problem-solving, growth, exploration, creativity, purpose, meaning The reality: You can't get here if you're not nourishing your body. Without basic needs met, self-fulfillment is impossible. THE SHIFT: FROM RECOVERING TO BECOMING Stop asking: "How do I recover from this eating disorder?" Start asking: Who do I need to BECOME to gain freedom? What does freedom look like to me? What are my NOW needs? What can I do TODAY to honor where I want to go TOMORROW? The truth: Your past and current distorted identity has created your current reality. It sabotages your success. This false identity creates negative habits that lead to negative outcomes—and reinforces the cycle. The problem isn't that you can't do it. The problem is you're consistently staying in the cycle that reinforces the belief that you CAN'T. YOUR NOW NEEDS: THE CHALLENGE This week, do ONE thing every day that you don't want to do. Then ask yourself: How am I currently meeting my needs today? What needs do I need met RIGHT NOW? Are my BASIC needs even being met? Remember: Without nourishment, you can't even begin to move into love, belonging, self-esteem, or purpose. THE 4 STEPS TO HONOR YOUR NOW NEEDS STEP 1: VALIDATE YOUR FEELINGS & OWN YOUR NEEDS Admit and identify a NOW need: Do I need to eat breakfast earlier? Do I need two more hours of sleep? Do I need to feel safe and protected? How will I create that? Set the goal of WHO you're becoming in the process. STEP 2: GRANT YOURSELF PERMISSION & SET PRIORITIES Give yourself permission to put yourself FIRST. Permission + Priorities = Power We give grace and compassion to everyone else, but struggle to do the same for ourselves. Today, WEAR permission. Rock it out. STEP 3: REFLECT, PRAY, JOURNAL, THINK Don't overthink. Just think. Ask yourself: What are my NOW needs? What do I need to feel satisfied, purposeful, joyful, happy? What do I have to do RIGHT NOW from a basic need standpoint to step into what I ultimately want for my life? STEP 4: DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT No one is going to recover FOR you. No one is going to: Gain the weight for you Sit in your head for you Be at the finish line for you You have to do something different. Because the truth is: You can listen to this show on repeat, but if you don't DO something about it, you're going to sit here stuck. THE TRUTH ABOUT RECOVERY When I actually recovered from my eating disorder, I didn't recognize my old self. I didn't even know who she was. I was fully transformed. Recovery isn't about checking a box. You still wake up. You still look at yourself in the mirror. You're still learning, growing, doing, BECOMING. Change your focus: From what you're trying to achieve → To WHO you need to be to achieve it. KEY QUOTES

What if the problem isn't that moms are failing—but that we've built systems that quietly ask them to do the impossible and then blame them when they struggle?My guest today, Rebecca Geshuri, sits at the intersection of motherhood, mental health, and compassion in a way that feels deeply needed right now. We talk about why so many moms feel like they're failing even when they're doing everything they possibly can. We unpack the crushing mental load, the lack of structural support, and how quickly shame spirals take hold when moms feel they're “not good enough.”This is a conversation about empathy, support, and the quiet strength of caregiving—and why taking better care of moms in the workplace and beyond ultimately makes all of us stronger.To access the episode transcript, go to www.TheEmpathyEdge.com, search by episode title.Listen in for…Why having healthy and supported mothers is key in our organizations and society.Lessons businesses and organizations can learn from mothers.How to stop assuming and do more noticing and learning about the mothers in your organization.

Jeffrey Epstein's rise, protection, and long run of abuse cannot be honestly framed as a partisan scandal. He cultivated relationships across the political spectrum—courting Democrats and Republicans, donating to candidates, socializing with presidents and princes, embedding himself in elite universities, financial institutions, and think tanks. His 2008 non-prosecution agreement in Florida was negotiated under a Republican U.S. attorney, but later federal oversight failures, intelligence lapses, and regulatory blind spots spanned multiple administrations. He moved easily between Wall Street, academia, philanthropy, and politics, exploiting a culture in which wealth and access often buy insulation. The machinery that allowed him to operate—deferred prosecution deals, sealed records, lax oversight in federal detention, and elite deference—was not owned by one party. It was enabled by a system that too often prioritizes influence, reputation management, and institutional self-protection over transparency and accountability.Reducing Epstein to a left-versus-right talking point obscures the broader failure: a bipartisan ecosystem of power that tolerated, minimized, or ignored red flags because he was useful, connected, or financially valuable. Figures from both sides distanced themselves only after public exposure forced their hand. The revolving doors between government, finance, and academia, along with opaque plea negotiations and limited victim notification, reveal structural weaknesses that transcend party labels. When scrutiny becomes selective—weaponized against political opponents while allies receive softer treatment—it reinforces the very dynamics that allowed Epstein to thrive. Accountability, if it is to mean anything, must confront institutional incentives, prosecutorial discretion, and elite gatekeeping across administrations. The scandal endures not because it belongs to one ideology, but because it exposed a system in which power protected power.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Epstein was invited to gatherings with a dozen members of Congress years after his initial arrest, documents reveal | The Independent
Most people don't quit because their idea is bad. They quit because it gets uncomfortable. And right now, too many creators and business owners are being told: “If it's hard… pivot.” “If it's slow… switch.” “If it's uncomfortable… leave.” But what if that advice is the exact reason you're stuck? In this episode, I sat down for a conversation about grit, ownership, staying in your lane, and why trying to be everything for everyone will quietly kill your growth. If you're frustrated with slow numbers… If you feel like you don't fit the “online business” mold… If you've been tempted to quit or pivot again… Listen to this. In this episode, you'll learn: - Why leaving when it gets hard might be your biggest mistake - The hidden cost of trying to serve everyone - When to protect your idea instead of promoting it - The difference between experimenting and being unfocused - Why ownership changes the way you lead, sell, and grow This is not about hacks. It's about who you become while building. And if you're serious about growth… this one will hit.

#211: Love proves itself in presence, not in posts—and that's the heartbeat of our latest conversation. We start by zooming out from the flower-and-feed version of Valentine's Day to the story of Saint Valentine, a reminder that love began as a risky choice rooted in conviction. From there, we challenge the modern script: the pressure to perform, the chase for butterflies, and the quiet ache of measuring ourselves against curated timelines.We unpack a steadier definition of love through the Corinthians lens—patient, kind, not boastful—and contrast it with the stories that shaped us. Disney rescue arcs and grand gestures taught many of us to confuse attention with love and chemistry with compatibility. As we compare fantasy to adult life, we talk plainly about what endures: consistent behavior, repair over blame, and a willingness to listen without making someone shrink to fit. That's where attachment styles enter the chat. Naming anxious or avoidant patterns can help, but we refuse to use them as a hall pass. Accountability is the bridge from insight to change.Real talk: sometimes love isn't enough. If capacity, timelines, or values don't align, the kinder choice is to stop chasing potential and choose clarity. We explore what calm, chosen love feels like—clear signals, mutual effort, and room to be fully yourself—and why safety isn't boring; it's the soil where connection grows. Along the way we tackle the “if they wanted to, they would” mantra with nuance, emphasizing patterns over promises. The goal isn't to want less; it's to want the right kind of love and to pick situations that match it.If Valentine's Day stung, treat it as data, not defeat. Share this with someone who needs the reminder that care without consistency is not the same as love.

In this final episode of our German Reformation series, Dr. James Spencer and Dr. Greg Quiggle step back from the 16th century to ask a pressing modern question: what does it actually mean to be Protestant today—and what have we gained (and lost) since the Reformation? Greg frames Protestantism with a memorable realism: it isn’t perfect—it’s the “least problematic” of the major options(Roman Catholicism, Eastern Orthodoxy, and Protestantism). From there, the conversation explores Protestantism’s strengths—Scripture in the common language, broad engagement with the Bible, the dignity and responsibility of ordinary believers, and the freedom to test tradition against God’s Word—while also naming the hazards that come with that freedom. James and Greg dig into one of the central tensions of modern Protestant life: authority without a pope must still include accountability. The Reformation wasn’t a call for every individual to interpret Scripture with equal authority; it assumed a teaching office and depended on catechesis to form faithful readers. But in today’s digital ecosystem—where influence is often determined by charisma, algorithms, and audience-size—Protestantism can drift into fragmentation, echo chambers, and “pastor-as-pope” dynamics inside independent churches. This episode also turns practical and pastoral: how should Christians live faithfully amid online outrage cycles, misinformation, and slander—especially when “everyone is a publisher”? Greg and James connect these issues to biblical ethics (truth-telling, false witness) and to the urgent need to rebuild theological formation in the local church. In this conversation, you’ll hear about: Why Protestantism is a “best worst” option—and why that matters The strengths of Protestant diversity (and why it’s also dangerous) Why the teaching office matters—and what happens when it collapses How the loss of catechism has weakened Protestant interpretation The modern digital “echo chamber” problem and credibility collapse Why truth, slander, and false witness apply directly to social media Practical next steps: near-term wisdom + long-term formation Quotelos Travel offers small, expert-led “Tours for Ten” that provide an intimate and unforgettable way to explore church history and culture with guides who truly know the locations.

Winning doesn't start with talent. It starts with ownership. In this episode of Harder Than Life, Kelly Siegel sits down with Dan Sachkowski for a real conversation about leadership, discipline, and taking responsibility for your outcomes. Dan shares lessons from navigating adversity, building standards that don't fluctuate, and why most people stay stuck blaming circumstances instead of owning results. This episode explores pressure, accountability, discipline over motivation, and why leadership always starts with leading yourself first. Key Takeaways

Bongani Bingwa speaks to political analyst Sune Payne about the shifting political landscape in South Africa, as a younger and more diverse generation begins to challenge established power structures. With growing frustration over corruption, inequality and failing service delivery, student movements, civic activism and new political formations are reshaping the national conversation around accountability and ethical leadership. They reflect on recent analysis by Daily Maverick that suggests this generational shift could redefine what leadership looks like in South Africa, and debate whether these emerging voices can meaningfully reconnect politics with ordinary citizens, particularly young people and members of the diaspora watching developments from abroad. 702 Breakfast with Bongani Bingwa is broadcast on 702, a Johannesburg based talk radio station.

In this episode of Great Practice, Great Life, Steve Riley is joined by Aaron Rothert and Chris Murphy, both attorneys and practice advisors, for a candid conversation about why law firm group coaching delivers results that one-on-one coaching often can't match. We dig into the power of group programs, why growth stalls in isolation, and how stepping into the right peer environment can radically accelerate both firm performance and quality of life.

Episode Description: In this insightful episode of the Stuck In My Mind Podcast, host Wize El Jefe welcomes Shirley Hayden, founder and president of Aspire Sales Management Solutions, for her very first podcast appearance. Drawing from over 25 years of executive sales leadership experience and Harvard Business School strategy training, Shirley Hayden shares her expertise on what it takes to build sales systems that not only drive growth, but also endure. The conversation, both conversational and deeply practical, begins with Shirley Hayden recounting her journey from sales representative to executive leader. She discusses how natural leadership tendencies and a keen eye for systems propelled her career, and shares lessons often missed by others—including the importance of speaking up, asking for help, and maintaining open communication with those she leads. Throughout the episode, Wize El Jefe and Shirley Hayden unravel the nuanced relationship between personalities and systems in sales teams. Shirley Hayden emphasizes that while likability and interpersonal skills matter, the foundation of sustainable sales is process-driven. She notes that effective salespeople whether extroverts or introverts succeed by asking the right questions, genuinely seeking to solve customer pain points, and engaging deeply in the mental game of sales. Listeners gain valuable insights into the real-world challenges faced by sales leaders. Shirley Hayden describes turning around an underperforming New England sales team by introducing structured onboarding and operational processes, dramatically reducing the time it took for new hires to become profitable. This experience sets the stage for a broader discussion about the universal need for systems, illustrated not only in sales but also through Wize El Jefe's own experience structuring his podcast for greater efficiency and growth. The episode dives into the continuous evolution of leadership philosophies. Shirley Hayden advocates for ongoing education, firsthand customer interaction, and persistent exposure to current industry trends—especially the transformative role of AI and new technologies in sales acceleration. Both speakers highlight the power of attending summits and conferences for networking, education, and staying ahead in a fast-moving landscape. One of the most resonant themes is the challenge of strong products underperforming due to weak sales processes. Shirley Hayden systematically breaks down common pitfalls: poor onboarding, lack of infrastructure, mismatched sales personalities, and absent assessment tools. She explains the importance of identifying whether a salesperson is a hunter, farmer, or account manager, and ensuring roles align with individual strengths. The episode explores what separates teams that merely survive from those that scale. Shirley Hayden stresses the necessity of a buildable, scalable, and repeatable sales process. She introduces the concept of a customized sales playbook, recounting a case study with a law firm where lack of process led to inefficiency and redundancy. Her discovery approach focuses on streamlining systems to increase efficiency and communication, and reduce errors. Accountability and data-driven decision-making emerge as cornerstones of successful sales leadership. Shirley Hayden details how key performance indicators tracked in a CRM system empower organizations to manage, coach, and forecast effectively. Weekly one-on-one meetings, structured feedback, and clear benchmarks keep teams on track and motivated. As the episode delves into scaling sales teams from small businesses to national organizations, Shirley Hayden emphasizes the engine-like importance of sales, the limits of relying solely on marketing, and the advantages of hiring fractional leaders for specialized expertise without the high cost of full-time executives. She outlines the significance of sustainable, repeatable growth: proper forecasting, data-driven strategy, ongoing training, weekly troubleshooting, and competitor awareness. Addressing common blind spots among founders, Shirley Hayden observes that founders often promote trusted associates into sales roles without proper assessment or process, leading to mismatches and inefficiencies. She warns that 80% of small to mid-sized businesses lack a documented sales process, hampering their ability to scale. The episode offers advice for struggling businesses especially those plateaued or stalled in growth. Shirley Hayden recommends starting with a sales assessment, reaching out to a fractional VP for a complimentary evaluation, and evaluating compensation structures to ensure that sales teams remain incentivized and motivated. Culture, compensation, and legacy are tackled head-on. Shirley Hayden talks about cultivating A-players not just through money, but by providing pathways for advancement and a positive workplace environment. She underlines the essential role of organizational culture in attracting and retaining top talent, encouraging leaders to revisit and live their guiding principles, and to celebrate wins to foster morale and drive continual improvement. Personal anecdotes from Wize El Jefe bring these concepts to life. He shares stories about employee recognition and the importance of celebrating achievements, highlighting how meaningful leadership practices create lasting impact in every organization. The episode closes with Shirley Hayden's contact details and a call to action for founders, leaders, and business owners: structure and systems are the keys to unlocking clarity, confidence, and scalable success. If you're ready to rethink sales and drive sustainable growth, this conversation is essential listening. Key Topics Covered: Sales leadership evolution and common pitfalls The importance of systems over personalities in sales Building and onboarding effective sales teams Continuous education, networking, and leveraging AI Sales processes, playbooks, and infrastructure Accountability, KPIs, and data-driven leadership Scaling from small teams to national organizations (including fractional leadership) Sustainable growth principles in today's climate Blind spots around hiring, promotion, and processes for founders Compensation strategies to attract and retain top talent The role of culture, principles, and celebration in strong sales organizations Real-world anecdotes illuminating leadership and team motivation This episode of Stuck In My Mind Podcast is a masterclass in sales systems, leadership, and the psychology of growth as relevant for business owners, sales professionals, and anyone looking to build lasting organizational success.
Brussels is full of lobbyists. Over decades, big companies have been using their financial might not only to influence EU policies but even to shape how EU institutions are designed and what their key goals are. Host Licia Cianetti talks to Kenneth Haar, who for almost two decades has been conducting research on corporate lobbying in the EU for Corporate Europe Observatory. Kenneth explains how corporate lobbying works, what lobbyists want, and how a sketchily defined “competitiveness” agenda is driving a far-reaching deregulation drive by the European Commission, which endangers hard fought for environmental, social, health, and labour protections. Guest: Kenneth Haar is a researcher and campaigner at Corporate Europe Observatory (CEO). His freely downloadable book, A Europe of Capital, details how corporate lobbyists got to the core of the European project. Corporate Europe Observatory is an advocacy and investigative research group. Their many reports, articles, and infographics on corporate lobbying in the EU are available on the CEO website.

Jeffrey Epstein's rise, protection, and long run of abuse cannot be honestly framed as a partisan scandal. He cultivated relationships across the political spectrum—courting Democrats and Republicans, donating to candidates, socializing with presidents and princes, embedding himself in elite universities, financial institutions, and think tanks. His 2008 non-prosecution agreement in Florida was negotiated under a Republican U.S. attorney, but later federal oversight failures, intelligence lapses, and regulatory blind spots spanned multiple administrations. He moved easily between Wall Street, academia, philanthropy, and politics, exploiting a culture in which wealth and access often buy insulation. The machinery that allowed him to operate—deferred prosecution deals, sealed records, lax oversight in federal detention, and elite deference—was not owned by one party. It was enabled by a system that too often prioritizes influence, reputation management, and institutional self-protection over transparency and accountability.Reducing Epstein to a left-versus-right talking point obscures the broader failure: a bipartisan ecosystem of power that tolerated, minimized, or ignored red flags because he was useful, connected, or financially valuable. Figures from both sides distanced themselves only after public exposure forced their hand. The revolving doors between government, finance, and academia, along with opaque plea negotiations and limited victim notification, reveal structural weaknesses that transcend party labels. When scrutiny becomes selective—weaponized against political opponents while allies receive softer treatment—it reinforces the very dynamics that allowed Epstein to thrive. Accountability, if it is to mean anything, must confront institutional incentives, prosecutorial discretion, and elite gatekeeping across administrations. The scandal endures not because it belongs to one ideology, but because it exposed a system in which power protected power.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Epstein was invited to gatherings with a dozen members of Congress years after his initial arrest, documents reveal | The IndependentBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.
Our brothers and sisters in Christ provide us accountability, which we should embrace as it can keep us from straying from God. It is important that we embrace this form of accountability, insuring that we stay right with God, or we will be held accountable for all of our sins in the judgement.

Adam explores the complex relationship between money and yoga, addressing the common perception that charging for yoga corrupts its authenticity. He shares personal experiences and insights on the necessity of money as a means of energy exchange, the historical context of yoga's accessibility, and the implications of consumerism in modern yoga practices.

If you're stuck people pleasing, over explaining, apologizing too much, scanning everyone's mood, and saying yes fast then resenting it later, this episode breaks down what's really happening and why it feels so hard to stop. You'll learn how people pleasing often forms as a nervous system survival strategy, the fawn response, where being agreeable once meant safety, approval, or belonging. We talk through the root causes, conditional love, performance conditioning, fear of conflict, and why setting a boundary can trigger guilt, anxiety, and an intense urge to fix, rescue, or smooth things over. You'll also get practical tools to recover from people pleasing without turning cold or selfish, including regulation skills, grounding, breathing, and simple boundary language that's short, calm, and clear. The focus is rebuilding self trust, making your yes mean something again, and ending the cycle of obligation, burnout, and resentment in relationships. If you struggle with saying no to family, a partner, friends, or coworkers, and you want a clear framework for boundaries, emotional safety, and confident communication, this episode will give you what to listen for in yourself, and what to do next.Disclaimer: We are not professionals.
