EPISODE 764 - Gary Wise - Certified PGA of Australia member - No Junk Reps, the Adaptive Performance StateThis episode features Gary Wise, an Australian-born performance coach whose journey spans elite surf lifesaving, professional golf, and decades of coaching athletes at the highest levels. Now based in Florida, Gary reflects on a life shaped by sport, discipline, and ultimately a deeper understanding of how the mind influences performance.Gary's early years were defined by movement and competition, from ocean rowing and surf lifesaving in Australia to rugby, water polo, and eventually golf. What began as a casual introduction to golf through caddying evolved into a professional career, taking him from competitive play into coaching. Along the way, he developed a unique perspective that blends physical performance with mental awareness.At the heart of this conversation is Gary's concept of adaptive performance, a framework built on five key actions: recognize, identify, align, transfer, and accept. Rather than focusing solely on outcomes, he emphasizes decision making in the present moment. Whether it's a young golfer facing pressure on the final hole or a lifeguard responding to an emergency, the goal is the same: match actions to intent while staying grounded in what matters right now.Gary challenges the widespread misinformation that surrounds performance, particularly in youth sports. He highlights how unrealistic expectations, often fueled by social media and misunderstanding of professional statistics, create unnecessary pressure and anxiety. A seven-foot putt on the PGA Tour, for example, is only made about half the time, yet young athletes are often made to feel like failure is not an option. This disconnect, he explains, can shape confidence and identity in harmful ways.The conversation also explores the role of parents and coaches, urging a shift away from control and toward support. Gary stresses the importance of allowing young athletes to make decisions, learn from mistakes, and develop ownership over their performance. Interference, even when well intentioned, can create doubt and disrupt focus in critical moments.Gary's book, No Junk Reps, grew out of a thesis on performance and evolved into a deeply personal project that challenged him in unexpected ways. Writing forced him to confront gaps in memory, vulnerability, and identity, ultimately reinforcing his belief that everyone has a story worth telling. His advice to aspiring writers is simple: start, let go of control, and allow the process to unfold.Throughout the episode, Gary returns to a central idea: we often see things not as they are, but as we are. By learning to manage attention, filter information, and stay present, both athletes and individuals can make better decisions and perform with greater clarity.Key takeaway: True performance is not about perfection or outcome, but about mastering the ability to stay present, make clear decisions, and align your actions with what matters most in the moment.https://ijga.com/coaches/gary-wise/Support the show___https://livingthenextchapter.com/podcast produced by: https://truemediasolutions.ca/Coffee Refills are always appreciated, refill Dave's cup here, and thanks!https://buymeacoffee.com/truemediaca

Send us Fan MailPlans are necessary. But every project manager knows that the assumptions behind a plan don't always survive contact with reality.Requirements change. Stakeholder expectations shift. Resources move. Market conditions evolve. The challenge isn't simply knowing how to update a project plan. It's knowing when change actually warrants a response without constantly disrupting execution.In this episode of Project Management Masterclass, Brittany Wilkins continues the Project Management Trends 2026 series with a closer look at adaptive planning.Drawing on familiar project management fundamentals, we explore how techniques such as rolling-wave planning, iterative development, stakeholder engagement, impact analysis, and reprioritization help teams navigate uncertainty. But the conversation goes further: adaptive planning also depends on decision rights, governance, and an organization's ability to distinguish meaningful change from noise.Because too little adaptation can leave teams executing against outdated assumptions. Too much can create rework, budget overruns, shifting priorities, and teams that stop trusting the plan altogether.The goal isn't constant change. It's intentional adaptation.Be rigid on the outcome. Stay flexible on the approach that gets you there.Episode Keywords:adaptive planning, adaptive planning project management, project management trends 2026, project planning, project management planning, project management trends, rolling wave planning, progressive elaboration, iterative project management, project decision rights Support the showEvery Organization Pays An Execution Tax.

Send us Fan MailYou can be disciplined, motivated, and still feel stuck and it often has nothing to do with your work ethic. We're talking about the moment every high performer hits: you take action, you try harder, you grab another strategy… and somehow the results don't match the effort. The reason is simple and brutal: the problem you're solving is usually not the real one.We walk through a framework we use in leadership coaching to separate technical challenges from adaptive challenges. Technical issues live on the outside: skills, tools, plans, resources, tactics. Adaptive issues live on the inside: mindset, perspective, fear, identity, and the stories your brain uses to keep you safe. We apply this to real situations like weight loss, growing a business, showing up on social media, and starting a podcast, so you can spot when you're trying to “Google” your way through something that actually requires an internal software upgrade.Then we give you a simple set of coaching questions you can use on yourself or with clients to diagnose what's really happening: are you taking needle-moving action, is your energy high, and have you given it enough time. We also talk about why your inner circle shapes your results and how the three levels of reach (down, out, up) keep your growth sustainable.If you want clearer action, higher energy, and fewer dead-end fixes, listen all the way through. Subscribe, share this with a friend who's spinning their wheels, and leave a review with the biggest “real problem” you just uncovered.Most people try to solve the wrong problem.

In this episode of the Tactical Living Podcast, hosts Coach Ashlie Walton and Sergeant Clint Walton talk about a moment many first responders eventually reach — the moment the tools that have been holding everything together quietly stop working, and nothing is waiting to replace them. Dark humor stops landing. Exercise stops clearing the head. Staying busy stops keeping the thoughts away. The drink at the end of the shift stops providing relief. And the first responder is left standing in the gap between what used to work and what has not been found yet — often without the language, the support, or the permission to admit that the gap exists at all.

Are you fascinated by the molecular science of aging and senescence? In this episode of Beauty Bytes, I am joined by Dr. Frederick Beddingfield III, the CEO of Rubedo Life Sciences, a physician-scientist, and a former senior leader at Allergan. We focus on the cutting edge of longevity and how Rubedo is developing adaptive senotherapeutics to reverse cellular aging and extend healthspan.  Dr. Beddingfield explains the science behind their lead drug, RLS 1496, which targets the enzyme glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) to regulate ferroptosis, an iron-dependent cell death pathway. We discuss how this drug not only eliminates toxic senescent cells but also acts as a "redox reset" for aged cells, reducing their biological age by improving mitochondrial function and autophagy. We also explore their groundbreaking human clinical trials, which demonstrated a 50% reduction in precancerous actinic keratoses in just four weeks without causing skin irritation. Plus, Dr. Beddingfield shares his personal biohacking stack, including low-dose rapamycin, fisetin, and quercetin.  Guest Information:Dr. Frederick Beddingfield III is the CEO of Rubedo Life Sciences. You can learn more about their clinical trials at rubedolifesciences.com or follow him on Instagram and LinkedIn at @FrederickBeddingfield.

Most people hear hotel conversion and picture a novelty deal. Dr. Alex Cartwright built a company around it, and the reason is arbitrage that is not subtle. His firm buys hotels that have no future as hotels. Sometimes they are old and not worth remodeling. Sometimes they are newer but stuck in a crowded market as the least desirable option. Sometimes they just carry too much debt. Whatever the story, the test is the same: is the highest and best use of this building multifamily? When the answer is yes, the multifamily price is dramatically higher than the hotel price, and the conversion unlocks the difference. The Denver project makes it concrete. A 310-room Holiday Inn sat next to Stapleton Airport until Denver built a new airport further out and the demand driver moved. Eleven stories, an atrium lobby, a balcony on every room, three underground racquetball courts. Nobody is building that again in a neighborhood of three and four story garden style apartments. Alex bought it a little under $30,000 a door and is spending $40,000 to $45,000 a unit to convert it, against comparable apartments in the mid to upper $200s. In this episode: What an end-of-life hotel is, and the three things that decide whether he enters a market at all Why a hotel is already most of an apartment building: individual bathrooms, HVAC, front doors, parking, soundproofing Which rooms get combined, and why going all studios pencils best but still is not the answer Why the due diligence period runs several months instead of weeks, and why sellers grant it The Denver numbers: under $30,000 a door in, $40,000 to $45,000 a unit of renovation, roughly $90 a door all in Why an extended stay hotel converts for $10,000 to $15,000 a room instead How lenders underwrite the deal off stabilized value, the same way they underwrite a flip off ARV What cities are actually afraid of when you ask for the rezone, and the conversation that gets them to yes The rent-burden math: more than half of rent-burdened Americans earn $45,000 to $75,000 a year Cutting a resident's housing cost by 35 to 40% without a dollar of taxpayer money Plus the Final Five, a poem called The Man in the Glass, and why you should always be looking for your next mentor.

Send us Fan MailA retired Army Ranger captaining Team USA after a traumatic brain injury. A World Cup coming to Georgia that most soccer fans do not even know exists. A version of the game where the toughest calls are not about memorizing rules, but about understanding how an athlete's body moves and what “fair” really means. That's where this conversation with Dr. Skye Arthur Banning takes us, and it left me genuinely rethinking the craft of officiating the beautiful game. Skye is a Clemson professor of sport management, a veteran NCAA referee, and a leader in two of the most demanding corners of officiating: cerebral palsy football (CP football) and blind soccer. We break down what makes CP football its own sport, including seven-a-side play, roll-ins, no offside, and the classification system (FT1, FT2, FT3) that keeps competition balanced. He also explains how referees adjust decisions by reading “natural position” through the lens of an individual athlete's disability, not just a generic model of movement.Then we pivot into blind soccer, one of the most intense and inspiring forms of adaptive sport. We talk sound balls, blackout eye shades, sighted goalkeepers, guides behind the goal, and the “voy” rule that requires defenders to announce a challenge or concede a foul. If you have ever wondered how athletes who cannot see can dribble, pass, and score at speed, this will make you a believer.If this changed how you see the Laws of the Game, share it with a referee or coach, subscribe for part two, and leave a review so more people find adaptive soccer and the people building it.Support the show

Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW) is proud to offer adaptive equipment at several state parks to help more people and their families enjoy the outdoors. In this episode of the podcast, Digital Media Specialist Forrest Czarnecki returns as a guest host to bring listeners into the field to learn more about how CPW strives to offer recreational and sporting opportunities for children and adults of all ability levels.For the Blevins family, visiting Ridgway State Park wasn't just any old summer vacation. For the family of five from South Carolina, visiting the park was going to be a once-in-a-lifetime trip facilitated by Make-A-Wish chapters in Colorado and South Carolina. As soon as CPW learned of this visit, state park staff developed a plan to make it an unforgettable experience for the Blevins family.Fred, Rebecca, Miller and Bo Blevins were incredibly gracious in allowing us to tag along and document the experience for Bo, their 12-year-old son living with a CASK gene mutation.Led by Ridgway State Park Park Naturalist Shelby Martinez, Bo and his family enjoyed an action-packed two days at the park. After starting with a big hike, with Bo riding a Trackchair, the first day ended with an afternoon of fishing at one of the park's two smaller stocked ponds below the reservoir. We even helped Bo's sister, Miller, land her first few rainbow trout.Day 2 took the family on a morning paddleboard adventure around the marina and swim beach. Loaded onto an oversized wheel-chair compatible paddleboard, Fred expertly paddled the entire family and Shelby around Mears Bay. All the while, Bo lit up and danced as he felt the breeze blow through his hair and the gentle rocking of the paddleboard.The family's trip ended with a tour of the reservoir on a state park ranger's boat. While the family enjoyed the last bit of their vacation at the park, we caught up with Park Manager John Freeborn, who knows firsthand about the healing power of nature following his lengthy recovery from a major car accident. We also chat more with Martinez and learn about her personal connection to working with families with special needs.Through it all, we learn how Colorado is at the forefront of providing adaptive equipment to help individuals and families in need of assistance, both at our state parks and beyond. This is an episode you won't want to miss.For more information on how CPW provides options to state park visitors with disabilities, check out the CPW website.

How much of your marketing technology budget is quietly underperforming, not because the software is flawed, but because your teams can't, or won't, fully adopt it?Because real agility was never about buying faster tools. It's about having an operating model that can actually turn a tool's potential into results, and keep doing it as the tools keep changing.Today we're digging into the phase that quietly decides whether any martech investment pays off: what happens after the contract is signed with things like implementation and adoption. We'll get into:- Why rollouts stall — and why the real cause is usually the operating model, not the tool.- What it takes to move a team from "trained" to genuinely changed.- How to measure real value without fooling yourself with usage metrics.- And what shifts once the platform starts doing some of the work itself.To help me discuss this topic, I'd like to welcome, Kate Dalbey, Chief Client Officer at Qualified Digital.About Kate DalbeyAs CCO, Kate leads client management and growth initiatives at Qualified Digital, bringing over 20 years of digital marketing experience from both client-side and agency-side roles.

The concept of EDR is flawless, but complex federal environments present distinct operational hurdles.  In this week's episode of Feds At The Edge, we dive into Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) in the federal government and explore how expert-suggested approaches can help agencies overcome today's barriers.  While EDR provides continuous monitoring and automated containment across agency devices, federal civilian networks face unique challenges in practice. Broadcom's Paul Miller admits that EDR's core weakness is its reactive nature, discussing how AI can be applied to "move left" of an attack by leveraging historical data to predict threats before they strike. Meanwhile, Broadcom's Sam Romo breaks down the difficulty of defending against machine-speed attacks as AI increases the velocity of standard signature-based threats. Together, the panel examines how today's AI-assisted, adaptive EDR can serve as a vital protective layer for the fragile legacy systems embedded throughout agency cybersecurity stacks.   Tune in on your favorite podcast platform for practical insights on how federal agencies can strengthen endpoint security and stay ahead of increasingly sophisticated threats.    

Le trail est-il vraiment accessible à tous ? Pour le découvrir, RMC Running part à la rencontre de la Team Adaptive, un collectif qui œuvre pour rendre la pratique du trail et des sports outdoor plus accessibles aux personnes en situation de handicap. Dans cet épisode enregistré à Chamonix pendant le Hoka UTMB Mont-Blanc, Amine Mohamed et Yohan Durand accueillent Fanny Barbara, Jonathan Naboulet, accompagné de Clément, son accompagnateur, ainsi que Boris Ghirardi, fondateur de la Team Adaptive. Ils racontent leur parcours, leur rapport au trail et surtout la réalité de la pratique en situation de handicap : les adaptations nécessaires, l'importance de l'accompagnement, les obstacles encore présents et les solutions mises en place pour permettre à chacun de vivre pleinement l'expérience de la montagne. Un échange autour de l'inclusion, de la solidarité et du dépassement de soi, mais aussi une réflexion sur la manière dont le monde du trail peut continuer à évoluer pour devenir toujours plus accessible.

Today, Steve looks toward the horizon, at the threats and challenges that enterprises and business leaders will face in 2026 and beyond. He also gives advice on how everyone, from the board to the practitioner, can meet these challenges, and answers some of the questions he's received this year. Key Takeaways: Steve's four key drivers of cyber risk heading into 2026 are AI, supply chain, quantum, and geopolitical instability. Crucial to cyber resilience are strong governance and a security-conscious culture. Adaptive governance and adaptive security are keys to managing the challenges of 2026 and beyond.  Tune in to hear more about: Steve's four key drivers of cyber risk heading into 2026 (2:23) Questions to ask, whether you're a board member, an executive, or practitioner (16:14) The changing role of the board (18:54) Standout Quotes: “ Resilience really needs an organizational wide holistic approach that takes technology, it takes governance, it takes operational readiness, and really importantly, it takes people into account.” - Steve Durbin “I think boards need to really take it upon themselves to absolutely recognize that cyber risk is a national risk. It is a business ending risk, and they need to ensure that they don't just have incident response and resilience in place, but that they also have a tried and tested plan, so this is good old fashioned BCP — business continuity planning — with a cyber flavor.” - Steve Durbin “Cyber risk reporting has to be business outcome oriented. Boards, business executives understand revenue, operations, customer impact, legal exposure. That's the way we have to be reporting cyber risk. It's not about how many attacks we repelled, it's not about how good our systems might be. You need to translate it into business language. If you can do that, not only will you get buy-in, but you'll also have a much richer conversation about the role that cyber and therefore cybersecurity and cyber resilience play in the business.” - Steve Durbin Read the transcript of this episodeSubscribe to the ISF Podcast wherever you listen to podcastsConnect with us on LinkedIn and Twitter From the Information Security Forum, the leading authority on cyber, information security, and risk management.

Episode overview- AI should be approached with wisdom, not fear.- Technology is a tool that can enhance ministry without replacing human relationships.- Pastors must be thoughtful about how AI is used in sermon preparation and spiritual leadership.- Ethical considerations are just as important as efficiency gains.- Adaptive leaders learn, adjust, and navigate change rather than resist it.- Understanding AI fundamentals helps leaders make better decisions about its use.- AI can assist with many ministry tasks, but it cannot replace spiritual discernment, calling, or authentic discipleship.Show Notes & Resources

Broadcast from KSQD, Santa Cruz on 8-20-2026: An emailer asks about amlexanox for mast cell activation syndrome (MCAS). Dr. Dawn first walks through MCAS diagnostic criteria—requiring symptoms across at least two of four categories (skin, low blood pressure, abdominal, respiratory), with serum tryptase testing performed both during and after a flare. She grades amlexanox as a C: originally FDA-approved only as a topical paste for canker sores, later approved in Japan as an asthma treatment, but never validated for MCAS and pushed largely by a single compounding pharmacy and its influencer clones. She recommends conventional agents first—antihistamines, montelukast, cromolyn, quercetin, aspirin for flushing, and Xolair anti-IgE antibodies for severe cases—plus microcrystalline cellulose as the safest capsule filler if compounding of amellanox is pursued. Most ovarian cancers—including nearly all fatal cases—actually originate in the fimbriae of the fallopian tubes rather than the ovaries themselves. Opportunistic salpingectomy tacks a five-minute fallopian tube removal onto any abdominal surgery (tubal ligation, hernia repair, gallbladder, appendectomy), potentially reducing lifetime ovarian cancer risk by 65% -80% based on epidemiological data from Swedish, Canadian, and Danish registry studies. Dr. Dawn recommends particular consideration for non-childbearing women with BRCA1/2 or family history of breast or ovarian cancer. Deep brain stimulator devices manufactured after 2020 (about 40,000 U.S. patients) contain adaptive-DBS capability that can be activated via firmware upgrade without additional surgery. Rather than delivering constant stimulation like older devices, adaptive DBS reads beta oscillations (13-30 Hz motor-control brainwaves) in the basal ganglia and modulates output in real time—reducing stimulation as L-DOPA peaks from drugs and increasing it as medication wears off, smoothing the swings between agitation and freezing. Sleep improvement has emerged as a notable secondary benefit, potentially slowing disease progression. The technology is also being investigated for dystonia, essential tremor, OCD, and Tourette's syndrome. Chinese company StarMed is developing brain-computer interfaces closely resembling Neuralink designs, benefiting from aggressive government funding, large patient populations, and reduced tort liability. One trial uses an eight-probe device placed atop the dura mater (avoiding brain penetration) connected to a pneumatic glove that has restored eating and drinking function in about twenty paralyzed patients over twenty months. A more invasive Shanghai trial implanted 256 probes on the neural cortex of a woman with epilepsy who could operate social media and control a wheelchair within two weeks; a related U.S. system using 65 hair-thin sensors enabled speech with just ten-millisecond delay. An emailer describes recurring two-week viral illnesses (sore throat, swollen glands, congestion, cough, body aches) recurring every 4-6 weeks. Dr. Dawn frames the question as either impaired immunity or changed exposure. She recommends starting with a CBC to rule out blood dyscrasias like leukemia, checking urine mycotoxins for mold exposure, then examining behavioral changes—new job, handling cash before eating, and the well-documented protective effect of masking in public that dramatically reduced cold rates during COVID. Dr. Dawn covers three health policy items. The good: new USDA dietary guidelines flip the food pyramid, putting protein, dairy, healthy fats, vegetables, and fruits at the top, with whole grains reduced to a small band, and it's recommendation 1.2 g/kg protein daily. The bad: an executive order attempting to reduce childhood vaccines from 18 to 11 and separate MMR into individual components—impossible since no U.S. manufacturer makes the individual antigens, and misguided since infant hepatitis B vaccination prevents mother-to-child liver cancer transmission. The ugly: a 26-year-old heart transplant recipient whose insurer initially dropped coverage of her generic anti-rejection drug, then "ghost approved" it at $1,000 for 90 days versus the previous $180. Mark Cuban's Cost Plus Pharmacy now supplies her the same medication for $300 (cost plus 15% profit plus 5% handling), highlighting the massive markups embedded in the standard pharmacy chain. For a time before that, the mother of the heart donor stepped up and paid for the recipients anti-rejection drugs to keep her son's heart beating.

What if fitness was built around what your body can do instead of forcing your body into a program that was never designed for you?In this episode of The Your Level Fitness Podcast, I sit down with Richard Harrison, founder of Able Fitness & Nutrition, to talk about the training business he is building for people with cerebral palsy, physical disabilities, limitations, and anyone who needs a more individualized approach to fitness.Richard has cerebral palsy himself and began training seriously after realizing that cookie cutter exercise programs simply did not work for his body. Over time, he learned how to adapt exercises to himself, and that experience eventually became part of a much larger vision.For Richard, ABLE means All Abilities Welcome.We talk about why so many adults with cerebral palsy and other disabilities lose access to support as they get older, why traditional gyms can feel intimidating, and why confidence can be just as important as the exercises themselves.Richard also shares why he does not believe disability needs to become someone's entire identity or automatically determine what they are capable of doing. There may be movements that need to be changed. There may be physical hurdles to navigate. But that does not mean there is not another way to approach the goal.That philosophy is now becoming the foundation of Able Fitness & Nutrition.Richard currently works with people one on one and is building toward helping clients beyond his local community through individualized programming that can reach people around the world. Instead of relying on automated, one size fits all plans, his goal is to understand the person in front of him and adapt the training accordingly.We also talk about Richard's own confidence, the support system he had growing up, what it means to become comfortable doing things differently in the gym, and the opportunity for disabled trainers to help other people with disabilities see what may be possible for themselves.If you have cerebral palsy, another physical disability or limitation, or simply want to follow what Richard is building, connect with him below.Connect With Richard Harrison and Able Fitness & NutritionInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/able.fitness1/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61575858020520TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@able.fitness1Richard encourages anyone interested in working with him to reach out directly through one of his social media accounts to start a conversation about individualized training.Connect With Daryl PerryInstagram: https://instagram.com/daryltperry

Cole Bernier and I initially connected on a work call. After discussing collaborative opportunities between Bowhead, where he works on the sales team, and EmpowerSCI, my workplace, we chatted generally about our experiences with spinal cord injury. Cole was very open about his struggles with mental health and belief in how important mental health interventions are, especially for men with spinal cord injuries. I was a bit caught off guard. Cole is a burly paraplegic dude from British Columbia with a background in motocross and crossfit. Not the first person I would expect to be an evangelist for mental health. We've connected multiple times since and had a longer conversation this spring. Guest info:@cbreezyridesAdditional Resources:https://www.bowheadcorp.com/https://highfivesfoundation.org/Contact us: Instagram: @unexpectedjourneypodEmail: tim@unexpectedjourneypod.com Hosted and produced by Tim BrownEditing and sound design by Louis ArevaloOriginal theme music by Jesse LaFountaineEpisode cover art by Lewis Falconer Cover art and logo design by Anne Holt and Lewis Falconer

When doctors told Jared Ewing he would never run again after a devastating accident that nearly cost him his leg, he chose a different path. In this inspiring episode of Leadville Uncovered, Jared shares how he went from hating running to becoming one of the most remarkable athletes in ultrarunning. Today, despite missing his calf muscles and Achilles tendon, he's chasing history as he attempts to become the first adaptive athlete to complete the Grand Slam of Ultrarunning. Jared walks through his journey from Army National Guard member and reluctant marathoner to adaptive ultrarunner, describing the accident that changed his life, the grueling rehabilitation process, and the mindset that helped him progress from a quarter-mile walk on a treadmill to finishing a marathon just 10 months after being told he'd never run one again.The conversation explores his impressive performances at Old Dominion and Vermont 100, the unique challenges he faces navigating technical terrain with limited ankle mobility, and why Leadville represents both a personal test and a key step toward completing the Grand Slam. Jared also discusses his documentary project focused on increasing visibility for adaptive and para athletes in trail and ultrarunning, advocating for greater recognition and race categories that help inspire others facing similar challenges.Most importantly, Jared shares a powerful philosophy: don't fear failure. Instead, search for your limits, embrace challenges, and remain curious about what's possible.Presented by OpenFuel Nutrition: Russell and Corinne trust OpenFuel's drink mix in training and racing because of the company's commitment to transparency, integrity, and putting people before profits.

Today, we are talking about two new to me concepts of adaptive intelligence and forced capacity. Both show up for most people as hyper independence and anxiety. They are ways our brains and bodies work through the challenges of feeling safe and secure in the world by doing more and over thinking. #adaptiveintelligence #capacity #trauma #neglect #feelingsafe #mentalhealth 

What happens when the mission changes, but the drive to keep moving forward remains?Combat Vet Vision welcomes Giovanni Perez, a retired U.S. Army combat engineer, wounded veteran, adaptive motorcycle and off-road competitor, and veteran advocate whose post-service journey has taken him from Afghanistan to some of the toughest terrain in off-road racing.Giovanni lost his left arm while serving with the Army in Afghanistan. After returning home, motorcycles became more than recreation. Through adaptation, determination and the veteran community, riding became another place to find challenge, camaraderie and purpose.Giovanni has competed in desert and off-road events including the Baja 500, Baja 1000 and Vegas to Reno. His adaptive riding includes motorcycle modifications that allow him to ride with a prosthetic left arm. In the 2018 Baja 1000, he was part of a six-rider team that officially finished the legendary event.His story also extends beyond racing. Giovanni has been connected with the Warrior Built Foundation, an organization serving combat veterans and wounded service members through vocational and recreational opportunities, including fabrication, mechanics and off-road racing. He has also participated in Wounded Warrior Project advocacy activities supporting issues affecting post-9/11 veterans.In this episode, we explore:• How the combat-engineer mindset can translate into adapting to life after a major injury• The transition from military service to finding a new mission• Returning to motorcycles after losing his left arm• Adaptive riding and the challenge of desert and off-road competition• The role of camaraderie, machines and racing in rebuilding purpose• Why continuing to serve and advocate for other veterans mattersThis conversation is not simply about overcoming an injury. It is about adaptation, teamwork and discovering that purpose can take a different form when the original mission changes.GuestGiovanni PerezRetired U.S. Army Combat EngineerWounded Veteran | Adaptive Motorcycle & Off-Road Competitor | Veteran AdvocateGuest LinksFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/giovanni.perez.353803LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/giovanni-perez-54847797Instagram (@oggio31): https://www.instagram.com/oggio31/Warrior Built Foundation: https://www.warriorbuilt.org/Featured ResourceDrive On, Echo Bravo ProductionsA documentary project following combat veterans competing in the Baja 1000.https://echobravoproductions.com/drive-onCrisis SupportIf you or a veteran you know is in crisis, contact the Veterans Crisis Line.

Guilt heavily influences women physicians' decision-making. I see it day in and day out as a physician coach. Dr. Jessie Mahoney talks with psychiatrist and author Dr. Jennifer Reid about her book Guilt Free and the guilt equation she uses with patients: guilt as our expectations minus our perceived reality. They walk through the four expectations Jennifer calls "the four furies"—constant caretaking, hyper-accountability, seeking perfection, and the myth of having it all—and why these are especially expensive for women physicians. Jessie and Jennifer talk through the difference between adaptive guilt, which prompts real repair, and maladaptive guilt, which keeps us doing more. They cover disappointment as one of the most stressful things for physicians to navigate, why boundaries and delegating feel unsafe, and Jennifer's SPEAK framework for moving toward guilt-free decisions: showing up, paying attention, examining the evidence, taking action, and "keeping going," which = continuing the practice. Guilt also functions as a form of social control in medicine—training that keeps physicians giving more instead of questioning the system asking it of them. Awareness is the most important shift. In this episode:  The guilt equation: expectations minus perceived reality The four expectations that keep women physicians trapped in guilt Adaptive guilt versus maladaptive guilt Why disappointment feels so dangerous in medicine The SPEAK framework for moving toward guilt-free decisions How guilt functions as social control in medical training Pearls of Wisdom: Guilt equals our expectations minus our perceived reality—and perceived reality is rarely accurate. Guilt motivates the way junk food does: briefly, at a high cost. Adaptive guilt prompts repair; maladaptive guilt just prompts more and more. Disappointing others is often unavoidable—the litmus test that matters more is not disappointing yourself. Guilt functions as social control in medicine, keeping physicians giving more instead of questioning the system. Awareness is most of the shift. Reflection Questions Where do you notice yourself making decisions from guilt rather than desire or alignment? Which of the four expectations—caretaking, hyper-accountability, perfection, or having it all—shows up most for you? Where does disappointing someone else actually mean not disappointing yourself? What would it look like to delegate, set a boundary, or let someone be disappointed this week?

This week, Corrine Malcolm is joined by Nicole Ver Kuilen — endurance athlete, cancer survivor, advocate, and National Campaign Lead for So Every BODY Can Move — for a conversation about access, innovation, and what true inclusion in trail running really looks like. They talk about Nicole's relationship with sport after losing her leg to bone cancer as a child, what drew her to trail running, and the very real barriers adaptive athletes still face long before they ever reach a start line.The two also dig into Nicole's advocacy work, her recent milestone as Salomon's first American para athlete, and what it meant to race MaXi-Race while helping shape the future of adaptive trail running through the Salomon Adaptive Project. It's a thoughtful conversation about representation, equipment, design, and why building a more inclusive sport starts with making movement possible in the first place.Follow Us:FeistyFest Details and Registration: https://feisty.co/events/feisty-fest/@feisty_media@trail.societySupport our Partners:Use the code FEISTY2026 for 20% off at https://www.tifosioptics.comUse code TRAILSOCIETY for 15% off any Vacation Races event at https://www.vacationraces.comGood Ranchers: Subscribe and get $25 off your first order with the code IRON at goodranchers.com rabbit: Visit https://www.runinrabbit.com/ use code: JULYTRAIL10 for 10% off.

In our current environment of rapidly changing customer needs and expectations, evolving technologies, and unpredictable market swings, the best ideas rarely come from a single leader. Instead, as attendees of the 2026 ITX Product + Design Conference learned, they emerge when product teams collaborate, challenge assumptions, and adapt together. In this episode of Product Momentum, Rachel Kohman, Ed.D. joined Sean and Dan for an in-person chat, discussing why adaptive leadership helps organizations solve today’s toughest product and technology problems. Rachel, Assistant Dean of Entrepreneurship Education at Missouri S&T, draws from her experience developing future engineers, entrepreneurs, and leaders, to offer practical guidance for creating teams where everyone contributes to better decisions. Here's what we learned: Leadership Is Everyone’s Responsibility Adaptive leadership challenges the long-held assumption that the person with authority has all the answers. Today’s problems are too complex for any one individual to solve alone, Rachel says. Product managers, UX designers, engineers, and researchers each bring their own unique perspectives to deliver desired outcomes. Not surprisingly, she adds, organizational performance improves when leadership becomes a shared responsibility. “And that's what's so interesting with adaptive leadership; it actually starts to change the narrative. “It's like, ‘wait a second, the challenges we’re facing are too complex to have a single right solution.'” For product teams, the adaptive leadership mindset creates an environment where product team members contribute new ideas because they see opportunities – not because they've been directed to. Psychological Safety Drives Better Decision Making Echoing the sentiments of episode 78 guest Dr. Timothy Clark, Rachel says that too many good ideas remain trapped in hallway discussions or private chat messages, mostly because team members are hesitant to challenge authority. Psychological safety, what Dr. Clark refers to as the great enabler, requires people in positions of authority to model and reward everyday acts of vulnerability. Beginning with respectful communication (as opposed to public confrontation), team members should present their concerns early on with an eye toward improving the product instead of proving someone wrong. “It’s that curiosity,” Rachel continues, “it's asking those questions of others and being willing to not have all the answers yourself.” This approach is not without risk, but its benefits are every bit as real: teams surface issues sooner, discovery improves, and teams emerge with better decisions before costly mistakes reach customers. Take a Step Back To See the Whole System Adaptive leadership also requires “stepping away” from daily execution, Rachel says. She describes the practice as “going to the balcony” – intentionally creating distance to recognize broader patterns instead of reacting only to immediate tasks. Teams who cannot see a world beyond the sprint work, feature requests, tech debt, and deadlines fail to observe market trends, learn from adjacent teams, and become aware of changes across the organization. “If you don't take the opportunity to take a step back and pause the noise, you’re losing out on an opportunity to perceive the world around you.” Leadership Is Every Team Member's Responsibility Adaptive leadership is not just another management framework; it's a practical way of helping organizations respond to uncertainty. Grounded in psychological safety, product teams become more resilient when people feel comfortable sharing new ideas, questioning assumptions, and learning together. Rachel Kohman, in her own words: [03:35] Changing the narrative of leader as ‘only the person in authority.’ The term leader has actually been the noun synonymous with the person in the top spots, right? And so what’s interesting with adaptive leadership is that it actually starts to kind of change that narrative and say, ‘wait a second, the challenges we’re facing do not have like a single right solution.’ [04:38] Not for the risk-averse. It is a little bit risky for everyone; we’re asking people who are in a position of authority to become comfortable with ideas coming from others, and they actually need to be willing to listen. At the same time though, the people who aren’t in the position of authority have to be willing to step up and not just say, ‘I’ll do whatever the boss says.’ [09:53] Adaptive leadership can reduce our volume of work. I do think that as we start to integrate it into our work, it becomes part of that culture of everybody is bringing their perspective and  their expertise; it actually eases up on the amount of work that you have to do. [11:20] Entrepreneurship requires curiosity. I love when different schools of thought come together. So I don’t have to be an ardent follower of only one thing. So with entrepreneurship there’s also this idea of ‘where’s your curiosity?’ And with leadership I think it’s the same way. It’s that curiosity, it’s asking those questions of other people and being willing to not have all the answers yourself. [17:29] The adaptability of adaptive leadership. I have found ways to utilize it all across my life. I practice this in my home, in my work, with my friends, which I think is really cool. Yeah, my next book is actually how being a parent helps you be a better leader, not the other way around. It’s amazing! [18:13] The view from the balcony. Sometimes we need to step back a bit, away from the busy-ness and noise of the day-to-day tasks. For illustration: if you’ve ever seen a marching band, like on a football field, but you’re actually down on the field at the same level as the band. It can look just really busy and there’s a lot happening. But when you move way up to the top of the stands, suddenly you’re seeing what is evolving in these beautiful intricate movements. Gives you a whole different like vantage point, right? The post 193 / How Adaptive Leadership Helps Product Teams Navigate Complexity, with Rachel Kohman appeared first on ITX Corp..
