In this engaging conversation, Michael sits down with Colin MB Cooper to explore the intersection of human behavior, neuroscience, and artificial intelligence. Colin shares how his lifelong curiosity for technology began at age 13 when he disassembled his father's computer, sparking a passion that now informs his work blending neuroscience and AI. Together, they reflect on decades of rapid technological change and the unique skillset Colin brings to understanding it. Declining Workforce Competencies in Younger Generations Michael and Colin discuss an emerging concern: the decline in critical thinking, curiosity, and creativity among young professionals entering the workforce. Drawing on Michael's experience hiring over a thousand employees and Colin's global hiring experience, they highlight a growing gap between what schools teach and what businesses require. Both note that increased reliance on LLMs may be accelerating this divide, raising important questions about the future of work and education. Technology Dependence and the Erosion of Critical Thinking The conversation turns to society's increasing dependence on technology. Michael shares stories from his early career teaching new hires basic computer skills and even using games like Solitaire to enhance productivity. They discuss how global internet outages could disrupt daily life and why fostering critical thinking and curiosity is essential in today's uncertain environment. AI's Rapid Integration and Its Impact on the Workforce Colin outlines the challenges organizations face as AI outpaces human adaptation. In education, technology is moving faster than teachers can adjust, and in the corporate world, AI-first strategies are leading to hiring freezes and the automation of repetitive work. He emphasizes a human-centered AI model that increases capability rather than replacing people. Real examples from healthcare and customer service highlight how AI can elevate human performance. Colin encourages listeners to upskill using free AI courses from providers like Google and OpenAI. AI's Transformational Potential in Healthcare Michael explores one of the most promising AI applications: healthcare. Drawing from his primary care leadership background, he discusses how clinicians spend excessive time on documentation rather than patient care. Colin agrees that AI could revolutionize healthcare workflows, lightening administrative burdens and improving patient outcomes, though both acknowledge the importance of safeguarding security and privacy. Technology Behaviors: From Customer Service Hacks to Alexa in Schools Michael shares a practical tip about selecting different language options to reduce customer service wait times, then recalls a story of students misusing Alexa devices to order products without permission. It's a humorous yet telling example of how quickly technology becomes woven into daily life. Generational Differences in Adapting to Technology To close the episode, Michael and Colin reflect on how older generations developed strong problem-solving skills due to limited access to support in their early tech experiences, while younger generations depend more heavily on constant connectivity. They discuss the vulnerability of this dependency, highlighted by the recent Cloudflare outage. Colin emphasizes that while technology will keep evolving, adaptability and resilience will determine how well society keeps pace. Colin invites listeners to explore more of his work on his website and continue the conversation on the future of human capability in an AI-driven world. https://colinmbcooper.com/ Welcome to this episode, where we sit down with Colin Cooper—a globally recognized high-performance business expert, entrepreneur, author, and philanthropist with over two decades of experience working with clients across 38 countries and hundreds of industries.

It's hard to think about much less say, but sometimes the greatest inspiration and insight can come from the greatest tragedy and loss. That's the case with Rabbi Leo Dee, whose wife and two daughters were murdered on April 7, 2023, in a Hamas terrorist attack.

They note that leadership today demands flexibility, trust, and a renewed focus on culture and collaboration.

As we closed out 2025, we found ourselves reflecting on what it really means to keep showing up while living with Multiple Sclerosis and how, sometimes, the best way to move forward is to look back. In this episode of A Couple Takes on MS Podcast, we talk honestly about the opportunities, challenges, adaptations and lessons that shaped our year. We explore how living with MS has taught us to think a few steps ahead, adjust expectations, and stay engaged in the life we want to live, even when it doesn't look the way we originally imagined. This includes sharing stories about travel, graduations, concerts, sporting events and everyday moments with friends; all through the lens of one guiding question: Is the juice worth the squeeze? That question helps us decide when to push forward, when to pause, and how to reframe what “showing up” really looks like. This conversation also touches on: Adapting plans when MS or caregiving realities change suddenly Accepting help and recognizing that doing so is a strength, not a weakness Planning proactively instead of reacting in the moment Letting go of comparisons and focusing on your own personal best Finding joy by staying flexible and open to new possibilities Most of all, this episode is about partnership. This includes showing up for each other, making thoughtful choices together, and continuing to move forward in ways that honor our health, energy and shared goals. As we look ahead to 2026, we're reminded that showing up doesn't have to mean doing everything or doing it perfectly. Sometimes it simply means doing what you can, with what you have, right where you are. Thank you for being part of our community and for continuing to walk and roll alongside us. *** Remember to rate, review and subscribe to A Couple Takes on MS Podcast for two insightful perspectives on this one multifaceted disease.

In 1977, Jim Henson, having found success with The Muppet Show, began experimenting with new technology and storytelling styles in the hopes of developing a feature film. Adapting a children's book by Russell Hoban and Lillian Hoban, itself an adaptation of the classic O. Henry short story "The Gift of Magi," Henson and his production team created a one-hour Christmas special that premiered in Canada on CBC and aired the following year on the then-new HBO channel. Featuring several original songs written by frequent Henson collaborator Paul Williams, subsequent airings on ABC and Nickelodeon, along with home video releases, cemented the quirky special's popularity. Now we're going down to the river to take in the sights and sounds of Emmet Otter's Jug-Band Christmas!

David Choe is a world-renowned artist, writer, podcaster and TV host. He tells how as a child, he was made to believe he was destined for greatness but also that he was a complete disgrace, leading him to channel his energy—including deep shame—into art that brought him global recognition. He shares about his addictions that put him on a decades-long cycle of extreme highs and lows and that forced him to eventually acknowledge and heal the childhood trauma he was battling inside. David shows up with raw, authentic presence to show us how we can transmute pain and shame into our best creative work and, more importantly, how complete vulnerability, especially about our hardest experiences, is the ultimate tool for forgiveness and self-acceptance. He also tells us the actual story about early Facebook, Pee-wee Herman and Santa Claus. Note: This conversation includes topics and language that may not be suitable for younger audiences.

Surprise! We are dropping a special bonus episode today. If you haven't seen it yet, we recently shared a stunning holiday house tour on our YouTube channel with the queen of Christmas herself, designer Suzanne Kasler. In this audio version of the official YouTube house tour, Caroline introduces a conversation between Suzanne and Ballard Designs President, Karen Mooney. They walk through Suzanne's gorgeous Atlanta home, discussing why she is so obsessed with Christmas, her strategy for displaying massive collections without clutter, and how she manages to decorate three different trees (including one just for teddy bears!). Suzanne also shares her "3-Day Blitz" method for stress-free decorating and how she adapts her traditions as her family grows. Quick Decorating Takeaways: Group Collections for Impact: Don't scatter small collectibles (like nutcrackers or crystal trees) all over the house. Group them together in one specific area to create a "sculptural" statement that feels intentional rather than cluttered. The 3-Day Decorating Blitz: Suzanne dedicates a focused 3-4 day block right after Thanksgiving to get everything done. This allows her to stop "working" on Christmas and simply enjoy the festive atmosphere for the entire month of December. Buy in Multiples: If you find a unique holiday item you love (like her Czech crystal trees), don't just buy one. Buy a dozen or a whole collection immediately to ensure you have enough for a cohesive display, as they might be gone next year.

Jeannette welcomes Laura Fullerton, the Founder and Chief Creative Officer of Monk, a pioneering wellness tech company focused on cold water immersion. Laura shares her entrepreneurial journey, detailing the inspiration behind Monk and the challenges she faced in bringing her innovative product to market. Together they also delve into the transformative benefits of cold water therapy, the importance of building a strong brand, and the lessons learned from her first year of trading Laura explains why: The journey into entrepreneurship can stem from a deep passion or frustration. The initial business idea often arises from a personal need that is not being met in the market. Surrounding oneself with fellow founders, mentors, and advisors is crucial. Different types of support—peers at a similar stage, experienced mentors, and aspirational figures—can provide valuable insights and encouragement throughout the entrepreneurial journey. Building a brand that resonates with core values and is not limited to a specific product can create a broader appeal Adapting products based on customer feedback is essential for growth. Understanding the market and being responsive to the needs of the community can lead to the development of more accessible and relevant offerings.

The Family Brand New Year's Kickoff: A Tradition That Builds Culture Every year, right after Christmas — during those quiet, in-between days when no one quite knows what day it is — our family slows down and does something that has become one of our most meaningful traditions. We reflect. We celebrate. And we intentionally step into the new year together. In this solo episode, Melissa walks you through the Family Brand New Year's Kickoff, a simple, free activity that hundreds of families download every year — and come back to again and again. This year's version has been fully updated, and families continue to share how impactful it's been, from sparking meaningful conversations to even becoming the moment they announced a new baby to their kids. Melissa explains why reflection matters just as much as goal-setting, and how looking back before looking forward helps families build clarity, gratitude, and momentum. She shares how to use the reflection questions with kids of all ages (even toddlers), how to keep the process light and pressure-free, and why there's no "right" way to do this — just a way that works for your family. She also breaks down two of the most loved parts of the kickoff: Choosing a family word (or phrase) for the year — a shared language that shapes how your family shows up The annual Family Award Ceremony — a powerful moment where each child (and spouse!) is recognized not for achievements, but for who they are and how they showed up Melissa shares a deeply touching story about a family friend whose son, now leaving on a two-year mission, named this New Year's award ceremony as one of his favorite family memories — a reminder that these small traditions often leave the biggest impact. Finally, she walks through how they create vision boards as a family, why perfection isn't the goal, and shares a beautiful personal story about a vision board image that unexpectedly showed up for her on a bridge in Spain — a moment that felt like a quiet wink from God. This episode is an invitation to slow down, reflect, and start the year with intention — not pressure. You don't need a perfect plan. You just need a moment to pause and ask: Who do we want to be this year, together? LINKS: All Links Family Brand! stan.store/familybrand familybrand.com/quiz familybrand.com/retreats.

Today's episode is a look at what is going on with independent retail shops right now. I sat down with my friend Jen from Tiny Turns Paperie. She's one of our Paper Camp speakers and a longtime advocate for small businesses. We talk honestly about some of the hardships that shop owners have been facing during 2025: everything from operational curveballs to tariffs and other things that have impacted the way they do business. We did get into some specifics about unpredictable buying patterns, last-minute shopping, the rise of treat yourself, and community-driven products. We also talked about some of the less glamorous stuff that goes into running a brick & mortar like inventory delays, tariffs, shipping headaches, and things like that. I think it's important for you to hear today's episode because the things that the indie buyers and brick and mortar shops are navigating do impact how they're doing business with you, too, so Jen's perspective is invaluable as always. You'll hear specifically how she's possibly adjusting her buying, why planners are hot right now, and why she's focusing on collaboration across indie businesses to really strengthen customer loyalty.
