A good mantra can change a season, and ours hits different: earn it in the winter, win it in the spring. We start with a candid weather check and slide straight into the nuts and bolts of racing life—updated Wine & Dine registration flows, random queue placement, why sellout times barely budged, and how our community rallied with Zoom rooms, phone trees, and charity backups We map out Princess Weekend long runs, Springtime Surprise magic miles, and the kind of speed work that shakes off a post-Dopey lull and brings your spring fitness back online.Then everything sharpens into one story. Heather, a push-rim athlete many of you know, takes us inside the Donna 110—eight laps Saturday and a marathon Sunday—finished in historic Florida cold with frozen hydration lines and sheets of ice. She shares how triple-stack long runs, bike guides, a coach pacing a late lap, and a brand-new custom chair made the difference. The result: the first wheelchair finisher in race history, the only woman finisher this year, and a heady mix of grit, humor, and joy that included communion at mile one and counting dogs to stay present. Her perspective on adaptive sport is powerful and refreshingly inclusive: we're all out here doing hard things, visible or not, and the win is showing up with purpose.We round things out with Loopy Looper team interest surging, Tom's strength challenge for accountability and smarter training, and Fluffy Fizzies returning to the Expo with upgraded foot care, themed bath bombs, and easy preorder pickup. The race report delivers a streak of firsts and PRs—from stadium sprints to donut runs and frigid New England grit—that remind us how many ways there are to measure progress.

Summary In this episode, Andy talks with Richard Carson, author of The Book of Change. If you feel like you barely finish one change before the next one hits, this conversation is for you. Richard shares his deeply researched and battle-tested framework called People Sustained Organizational Change Management, or PSOCM. Unlike many change management books, this is not about certifications or slogans. It is about building a repeatable system to diagnose problems, distinguish adaptive from transformational change, and gain executive traction when support is not automatic. You will hear why so many change efforts fail before they even begin, how to craft a clear problem statement, and what leaders often misunderstand about the type of change they are facing. Richard also explains why he chose the phrase "People Sustained" and how thinking structurally about change can even help at home. If you're looking for practical, grounded insights on leading through continuous change, this episode is for you! Sound Bites "My advice to you is to anticipate change and manage change before it manages you." "Different change models have been introduced in the literature, but there has not been one coherent model for managing organizational change." "PSOCM is driven by defined actions with statistical metrics that produce measurable results." "You get a free book and the next thing you know you're getting the pitch to hire them at an exorbitant amount of money per hour." "Organizations consist of people, and it is the people who are primarily the problem." "Change management is proactive. Emergency management is reactive." "It is not productive to put the organization on the couch and ask, 'Well, what do you think?'" "You can change a process, but you cannot change a person's underlying psychology." "You now own it, or it now owns you."

It's a great discussion that I think you'll find quite practical. Episode 344 with Peter Bregman and Howie Jacobson. Their book is about change, but not at the organizational level. They think you can change other people, which sounds presumptuous at the least. But they back that up in the interview so check out episode 344 for more. Episode 53 with John Kotter.

In this episode of CRE 101, we take you inside an adaptive reuse project we're actively pursuing at 706 E Broadway in Louisville. My business partner, Fred Newman, and I break down how the deal came together, from sourcing the opportunity and working through due diligence, to structuring the financing and lining up a tenant for half of the first floor. With plans to begin construction soon, this episode offers a real-world look at what it takes to move a development from concept to execution.We walk through the challenges, the decision-making process, and the strategies behind repositioning an existing building into a productive, income-generating asset, without the fluff and without the theory.
Join Dr. Arun Seraphin for a conversation with Dr. Sridhar Kota and Hal Chrisman of FlexSys exploring how adaptive morphing control surfaces are transforming aerodynamics across the aerospace industry and defense industry. The discussion centers on this engineering breakthrough and its potential to reshape future DoD platforms and missions. Drawing on more than two decades of experience in the aerospace and defense industry, Dr. Kota and Chrisman explain how this adaptive technology can improve lift-to-drag ratios, reduce fuel consumption and noise, and eliminate the need for conventional flaps in next-generation aircraft designs. This conversation examines how morphing aerodynamics technologies could transform DoD mission requirements, from enabling shorter takeoff and landing distances to improving climb gradients and reducing fleet size requirements. In addition to the operational benefits for the Department of Defense (DoD), Dr. Kota and Chrisman explore key technology transition challenges facing the defense industry, including certification, integration, and scalability. The conversation concludes with a forward-looking vision for making morphing control surfaces an industry standard, along with practical guidance for OEMs and DoD partners interested in adopting this advanced aerodynamics technology.Be sure to follow us on social media for updates, inside scoops, & more:LinkedIn: https://bit.ly/4htROo0Twitter: https://bit.ly/48LHAx3Facebook: https://bit.ly/47vlht8And for more podcasts, articles, & publications all things emerging tech, check out our website at: https://bit.ly/47oA5K1
This conversation with Doug Katz went deeper than expected, but it was SO good! Doug is a retired Military Veteran who has used his disability as inspiration to create adaptive items. He just started selling the Nulu adaptive knife last summer - it's inspired by the Inuit Ulu, but adjusted to accommodate his and others' disability. Talking with Doug, I learned that there are Adaptive Libraries across the country, so that someone can try an item before buying. The conversation got deep when we went into whether a disability is really a disability, which may have gone a little off topic, but I felt like it was too important a thread to not pull on, and I'm glad we did. This is a topic that I've thought a lot about, but haven't really had the chance to vocalize, and I imagine Doug is always ready to go into it.I love Doug's entrepreneurial spirit and his inventor mind - and how he's working to extend independence for people.Here's Doug's website for Nulu Knives: https://nuluknives.com/He's on Instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/d.m.katzHe's on Facebook here: https://www.facebook.com/DOUGLASMKATZ/If you loved this ability convo and would like Doug to speak, here's his speaker link: https://dougkatz8.wixsite.com/douglasmkatzSend me a message!Support the showLike this episode?

Struggling with compliance chaos? Join the CU Guys as they uncover how adaptive solutions can transform your compliance process. In this episode, Adam shares insights from his decade of experience, revealing how to streamline compliance with dynamic mapping and adaptable tools like the TCT Portal. Learn to cut time, reduce risks, and save money by customizing workflows and eliminating redundant efforts. Perfect for compliance teams and leaders eager to see real cost savings and efficiency. Tune in to revolutionize your compliance strategy today!Episode Transcript:We're gonna chat today, Adam, about, well, about using our imagination. As a matter of fact, let's imagine using an adaptive compliance tool. Tell the folks about it. Sure. This is a topic that's, it's just, it's applicable for folks that are struggling with compliance, ones that are already familiar with the landscape, et cetera. It's a inventive and special kind of torture that people go through when you're trying to fit your compliance program into some type of a rigid structure or setup. At some point in the game, the light bulbs start going on, or maybe not, that you're spending more time screwing around with manual workarounds, bridging gaps between what you'd like to do and what you're actually doing, et cetera.And there's a lot of tooling out there and there's compliance platforms. They were built in a kind of a best case scenario mindset, initially up against a single standard, and then they started shoehorning in other ones, type of a deal. Somebody that was originally when they started doing things, this is the way they did it. So they built a whole platform around that, and now everybody that uses it is kind of stuck with it, type of a deal. So for folks that are juggling different certs or have some complexity to their engagement, they've got different divisions across the globe, et cetera, then that's where you start moving away from that kind of best case scenario type of a deal. And so it's part of the fun, the adventure that we've been on is we've seen how frustrating it can be to manage a compliance, a compliance engagement that has complexity because we've been through it ourselves.We've experienced as a organization that's gone through compliance. We've assisted and helped innumerable organizations with managing their compliance. We've worked alongside assessors and auditors. I personally spent close to two years doing level one QA work for a large international QSA firm. So it's been a rewarding adventure to navigate the waters of seeing what was out there and then being able to serve folks that are in this space. And it's also important for folks. One of the biggest things that I like to tell people is a lot of people will kind of get into this mode. They do whatever they do to be able to manage their compliance. And they get it to a point where it's almost like, I'm capable of getting this done. And so they go, oh, that's cool. We're just going to go and stick with that. So they get into this point of where it works, AKA they accomplished the objective.But my big recommendation is for those folks, especially if I look at it from the perspective of those in leadership as an example, I love to use this talking point a fair amount because I remember as a frontline person responsible for compliance for the organization, my boss would just swoop by my desk type of a deal. And hey, it's compliance season again. Good luck. Make sure that we have all our crap done by blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. And then he would flip off type of a deal. And between the good luck and where's my fucking report, There was a whole bunch of blood, sweat, tears, pain, stress, you know, but a lot of that happened.

The ground keeps moving and the old playbook can't keep up. We pulled back the curtain on our 2026 Leadership Reality Report and walked through the intel leaders are using to make faster, smarter decisions without perfect visibility—because waiting for certainty is the new risk.We start with the three realities shaping every org we work with: volatility that scrambles supply chains, policy, and tech; versatility as a non-negotiable demand across roles; and ambiguity that forces choices before the “right answer” even exists. From there, we map the four leadership priorities that actually convert chaos into progress. Adaptive velocity is first: changing at speed and scale, with tighter decision cycles and empowered teams. Human connectivity comes next: building trust, safety, and shared mission so dispersed teams generate real idea collisions and flag issues early. Then ecosystem vision: thinking beyond silos to orchestrate value across functions, partners, and platforms. Finally, efficient execution: eliminating noise, focusing on high-leverage activities, and protecting capacity so priorities ship.You'll hear fresh stats, perspective from top executives, and a clear path to brief your org with a ready-to-use deck and upcoming webinar. Use this preview to audit your team: Which skills are strong? Where are the gaps? What will you stop, start, and scale over the next quarter to move faster with less noise and more alignment?If this conversation helps you think sharper about 2026, follow the show, share it with your team, and leave a review so more leaders can find it.

From there, Ross shares a clear look back at SOF's growth in 2025—tripling leadership development for students and serving 4,000+ future finance leaders—before laying out SOF's 2026 theme: Adaptive Excellence.Episode Segments:Growth in 2025: A behind-the-scenes look at how SOF strengthened student formation, expanded chapter presence, and grew the community supporting principled finance leadership.2026: Adaptive Excellence in the Age of AI: A candid assessment of what's changing in finance—AI, automation, and rising competition—and what it means to stay both excellent and values-grounded. Ross shares how SOF will evolve curriculum, coaching, partnerships, and alumni support to keep members on the leading edge.Generosity as a Moral Requirement of Capitalism: Zooming out, Ross reflects on a fractured society and the growing tension between individualism and collectivism—drawing on MLK and Adam Smith to make a case for generosity as a form of moral leadership. The episode closes with a simple challenge: if excellence is rising, generosity must rise with it.Whether you're a student entering the industry, an alum navigating early career, or a senior leader shaping institutions, this episode is designed to re-anchor your year in character—and to raise the bar for what leadership in finance can look like.

Host: Jeffrey BeseckerGuest: D' Layne Benson, Registered Nurse and Therapeutic Breathwork FacilitatorIn this episode of The Light Inside, we delve into the concept of "false calm" and its implications for emotional regulation and mental health. Our guest, D' Layne Benson, shares her insights on how over-resourcing and cognitive control can mute adaptive feedback signals, leading to short-term quiet but long-term signal loss.We explore how containment and pacing can build capacity, reduce rupture, and allow coherence to emerge without interpretive intrusion. D' Layne explains that true regulation isn't about feeling better but about staying present with what's activated. We discuss how false calm can keep individuals disconnected and how to recognize it in real-time.D' Layne shares her experiences as a registered nurse and how they led her to explore the role of overfunctioning in high-stress careers like healthcare. She highlights the common trend among caregivers who often neglect their own emotional regulation while focusing on others.We also touch on the concept of functional freeze, where individuals appear composed on the outside but are in a state of internal shutdown. D' Layne provides practical advice on how to notice and address these states, both in oneself and in clients.Throughout the episode, we discuss the importance of relational attunement, the impact of early childhood neural imprints on our perception of safety and threat, and the role of cognitive override in burnout. D' Layne emphasizes the need for scheduling rest and reflection, especially for high-performing individuals who use productivity as a defense against emotional discomfort.Finally, we explore the nuances of breathwork as a tool for emotional regulation and how it can help individuals reconnect with their bodies in a safe and controlled manner. D' Layne shares her personal journey and how breathwork played a crucial role in her own healing process.Join us as we unpack these complex topics and provide actionable insights for better emotional regulation and mental well-being.Timestamps[00:03:48] False calm and emotional bypassing.[00:04:36] False calm in caregiving.[00:09:12] Observing emotional dysregulation patterns.[00:11:25] Nervous system and safety perception.[00:15:07] Autonomic nervous system dynamics.[00:22:11] Busyness as emotional shield.[00:26:00] Scheduling time for reflection.[00:27:25] Building authentic self-worth.[00:30:31] Safety and internal narratives.[00:35:04] Doxaxic reasoning and bias.[00:39:31] Curiosity about personal biases.[00:42:43] Caregiving and self-neglect.[00:45:51] Breath as a diagnostic tool.[00:51:45] Self-healing and awareness.[00:52:13] Rhythmic breathing's healing power.[00:56:20] Sustainable change through repetition.[01:00:20] Value and meaning in care.CreditsHost: Jeffrey BeseckerGuest: D' Layne BensonExecutive Program Director: Anna GetzProduction Team: Aloft Media GroupMusic: Courtesy of Aloft Media GroupConnect with host Jeffrey Besecker on LinkedIn.

So many women are led to believe their body is broken when weight loss, hormones, digestion, or energy feel increasingly “complicated.” When the usual strategies stop working, the narrative quickly shifts to dysfunction, failure, or the idea that something about their body in particular, must be "broken" or "defective". But more often than not, the body isn't malfunctioning - it's adapting.This episode explores the difference between the broken body narrative and the reality of adaptive biology. Symptoms are not random or rebellious; they are intelligent responses to cumulative stress, restriction, under-recovery, and years of pressure placed on the system. When we ignore that context and attempt to override the body with more control or more force (onslaughts of hacks, protocols, peptides, supplements, etc) we often create even more resistance.By reframing health through the lens of adaptation rather than failure, we can begin to approach healing with strategy and wisdom instead of urgency. This conversation is an invitation to stop chasing band aids and start rooting out solutions, through understanding your body's signals. Because meaningful, sustainable change doesn't come from fighting your biology, but from working with it.Join me on the 'gram!

This week Andrew Still tells us how Adaptive Seeds started in 2009 as an outgrowth of the Seed Ambassadors Project to steward and keep rare and heritage vegetable and flower varieties alive. In the intervening 15+ years they have furthered their mission of preserving open pollinated varieties and breeding new ones that are adapted to the Pacific Northwest. Interviewer Andrew Mefferd had the pleasure of visiting the farm where they grow much of their seed a decade ago- now we get to catch up and hear about how this farm-based seed company has grown in the intervening decade.We hear about how Adaptive Seeds started after sourcing hundreds of heritage varieties on a seed exploration trip to Europe, how they have decided which varieties to add to their catalog, and why they leave variation in some varieties and mixes. We also discuss balancing flavor and productivity in breeding, the importance of transparency in seed sourcing, and how dehybridization can be used to “preserve” favorite varieties that have been dropped from the seed trade. We round out the conversation out with the importance of biodiversity, the impact of intellectual property on seed innovation, and how growers can try breeding their own varieties.
