Discover why leading in today's church means listening deeply to people's questions, griefs, and dreams—before ever stepping into the pulpit.Tod Bolsinger and Markus Watson discuss this quote from Mark Glanville in Ep. 278, Preaching in Today's Post-Christian World:"People are walking to church now, not with the Bible under their arm, but with complex and genuine questions, with hopes, with dreams, with griefs on their heart, sometimes with a complex relationship with the Bible itself.”THIS EPISODE'S HIGHLIGHTS INCLUDE:Church leaders face the complexity of guiding people who bring diverse backgrounds, questions, hopes, dreams, and griefs.Pastoral leaders prioritize listening to the congregation before offering teaching or guidance.Leaders shape sermons and leadership approaches by engaging deeply with people's real-life experiences and struggles.Adaptive leadership requires creating community among people who differ in their spiritual journeys and relationships with scripture.Effective preaching and leadership begin with meaningful relationships and conversations, not just expertise or information delivery.Send me a text!

In this episode, I'm joined once again by my friend and frequent guest, Kaspar Rufibach, to talk about a topic that's been around for decades but is gaining fresh attention thanks to the new ICH E20 draft guideline—adaptive designs in confirmatory clinical trials. Kaspar and I discuss why and when we should consider adapting a clinical trial, what kinds of adaptations are statistically valid and meaningful in a regulatory context, and why these designs—despite their efficiency—are still not used as often as they could be. We also dive into the statistical foundations behind adaptive designs, such as p-value combination methods and meta-analytic thinking, and explore how adaptive approaches can help us make faster and smarter decisions in drug development.

In today's ever-changing world of leadership, we've come to grips that leading by experience, tendencies, and feelings is no longer enough. Too often, leaders rely on what they've always done, how they naturally respond, or what simply “feels right” in the moment. But true leadership requires something deeper, intentional adaptation. This episode dives into the rise of Adaptive Leadership, a model that challenges coaches and leaders to grow beyond instinct and evolve with the people and circumstances around them. We explore how developing your Intelligence Quotient (IQ), Emotional Quotient (EQ), and Learning Quotient (LQ) can transform the way you connect, communicate, and create lasting impact. Join us as we unpack how great leaders move from reaction to reflection, and from comfort to conscious change.

BONUS: The Evolution of Agile - From Project Management to Adaptive Intelligence, With Mario Aiello In this BONUS episode, we explore the remarkable journey of Mario Aiello, a veteran agility thinker who has witnessed and shaped the evolution of Agile from its earliest days. Now freshly retired, Mario shares decades of hard-won insights about what works, what doesn't, and where Agile is headed next. This conversation challenges conventional thinking about methodologies, certifications, and what it truly means to be an Agile coach in complex environments. The Early Days: Agilizing Before Agile Had a Name "I came from project management and project management was, for me, was not working. I used to be a wishful liar, basically, because I used to manipulate reports in such a way that would please the listener. I knew it was bullshit." Mario's journey into Agile began around 2001 at Sun Microsystems, where he was already experimenting with iterative approaches while the rest of the world was still firmly planted in traditional project management. Working in Palo Alto, he encountered early adopters discussing Extreme Programming and had an "aha moment" - realizing that concepts like short iterations, feedback loops, and learning could rescue him from the unsustainable madness of traditional project management. He began incorporating these ideas into his work with PRINCE2, calling stages "iterations" and making them as short as possible. His simple agile approach focused on: work on the most important thing first, finish it, then move to the next one, cooperate with each other, and continuously improve. The Trajectory of Agile: From Values to Mechanisms "When the craze of methodologies came about, I started questioning the commercialization and monetization of methodologies. That's where things started to get a little bit complicated because the general focus drifted from values and principles to mechanisms and metrics." Mario describes witnessing three distinct phases in Agile's evolution. The early days were authentic - software developers speaking from the heart about genuine needs for new ways of working. The Agile Manifesto put important truths in front of everyone. However, as methodologies became commercialized, the focus shifted dangerously away from the core values and principles toward prescriptive mechanisms, metrics, and ceremonies. Mario emphasizes that when you focus on values and principles, you discover the purpose behind changing your ways of working. When you focus only on mechanics, you end up just doing things without real purpose - and that's when Agile became a noun, with people trying to "be agile" instead of achieving agility. He's clear that he's not against methodologies like Scrum, XP, SAFe, or LeSS - but rather against their mindless application without understanding the essence behind them. Making Sense Before Methodology: The Four-Fit Framework "Agile for me has to be fit for purpose, fit for context, fit for practice, and I even include a fourth dimension - fit for improvement." Rather than jumping straight to methodology selection, Mario advocates for a sense-making approach. First, understand your purpose - why do you want Agile? Then examine your context - where do you live, how does your company work? Only after making sense of the gap between your current state and where the values and principles suggest you should be, should you choose a methodology. This might mean Scrum for complex environments, or perhaps a flow-based approach for more predictable work, or creating your own hybrid. The key insight is that anyone who understands Agile's principles and values is free to create their own approach - it's fundamentally about plan, do, inspect, and adapt. Learning Through Failure: Context is Paramount "I failed more often than I won. That teaches you - being brave enough to say I failed, I learned, I move on because I'm going to use it better next time." Mario shares pivotal learning moments from his career, including an early attempt to "agilize PRINCE2" in a command-and-control startup environment. While not an ultimate success, this battle taught him that context is paramount and cannot be ignored. You must start by understanding how things are done today - identifying what's good (keep doing it), what's bad (try to improve it), and what's ugly (eradicate it to the extent possible). This lesson shaped his next engagement at a 300-person organization, where he spent nearly five months preparing the organizational context before even introducing Scrum. He started with "simple agile" practices, then took a systems approach to the entire delivery system. A Systems Approach: From Idea to Cash "From the moment sales and marketing people get brilliant ideas they want built, until the team delivers them into production and supports them - all that is a system. You cannot have different parts finger-pointing." Mario challenges the common narrow view of software development systems. Rather than focusing only on prioritization, development, and testing, he advocates for considering everything that influences delivery - from conception through to cash. His approach involved reorganizing an entire office floor, moving away from functional silos (sales here, marketing there, development over there) to value stream-based organization around products. Everyone involved in making work happen, including security, sales, product design, and client understanding, is part of the system. In one transformation, he shifted security from being gatekeepers at the end of the line to strategic partners from day one, embedding security throughout the entire value stream. This comprehensive systems thinking happened before formal Scrum training began. Beyond the Job Description: What Can an Agile Coach Really Do? "I said to some people, I'm not a coach. I'm just somebody that happens to have experience. How can I give something that can help and maybe influence the system?" Mario admits he doesn't qualify as a coach by traditional standards - he has no formal coaching qualifications. His coaching approach comes from decades of Rugby experience and focuses on establishing relationships with teams, understanding where they're going, and helping them make sense of their path forward. He emphasizes adaptive intelligence - the probe, sense, respond cycle. Rather than trying to change everything at once and capsizing the boat, he advocates for challenging one behavior at a time, starting with the most important, encouraging adaptation, and probing quickly to check for impact of specific changes. His role became inviting people to think outside the box, beyond the rigidity of their training and certifications, helping individuals and teams who could then influence the broader system even when organizational change seemed impossible. The Future: Adaptive Intelligence and Making Room for Agile "I'm using a lot of adaptive intelligence these days - probe, sense, respond, learn and adapt. That sequence will take people places." Looking ahead, Mario believes the valuable core of Agile - its values and principles - will remain, but the way we apply them must evolve. He advocates for adaptive intelligence approaches that emphasize sense-making and continuous learning rather than rigid adherence to frameworks. As he enters retirement, Mario is determined to make room for Agile in his new life, seeking ways to give back to the community through his blog, his new Substack "Adaptive Ways," and by inviting others to think differently. He's exploring a "pay as you wish" approach to sharing his experience, recognizing that while he may not be a traditional coach or social media expert, his decades of real-world experience - with its failures and successes - holds value for those still navigating the complexity of organizational change. About Mario Aiello Retired from full-time work, Mario is an agility thinker shaped by real-world complexity, not dogma. With decades in VUCA environments, he blends strategic clarity, emotional intelligence, and creative resilience. He designs context-driven agility, guiding teams and leaders beyond frameworks toward genuine value, adaptive systems, and meaningful transformation.

Trauma is not a single moment. It is an ongoing dialogue between your brain, body, and environment. In this conversation, Dr. Mbemba Jabbi explains how neuroplasticity and affective neuroscience help us understand protective patterns like hypervigilance, shutdown, and dissociation. We explore the roles of the insula, amygdala, and cingulate networks in sensing threat, shaping emotions, and connecting brain states with bodily signals such as heart, gut, and breath. Dr. Jabbi also discusses research that associates early childhood trauma, including sexual trauma, with higher inflammatory markers like C-reactive protein, while emphasizing that biology interacts with environment and change is possible. You will hear how sensory training, co-regulation, psychotherapy, and supportive practices may help repattern responses over time. This is a grounded, science-informed look at why survival strategies make sense in context and how compassionate, skills-based work can support nervous system health. If you or your clients live with complex developmental trauma, this episode offers language, frameworks, and first steps that respect lived experience and prioritize safety.   Timestamps: 0:00 Protective patterning and repeating environments 1:00 Meet Dr. Jabbi and her research lens 7:10 Brain circuits in emotion and stress 13:20 Insula, interoception, and body-brain links 18:00 Survival values and environmental context 26:00 Adaptive suppression vs. underdevelopment 40:00 Inflammation and childhood trauma (C-reactive protein) 49:00 Treatment implications and tracking biomarkers 56:00 Fast and slow fear pathways, behavior outputs 59:50 Key takeaways for practitioners and individuals 1:02:00 Repatterning for joy and post-traumatic growth 1:03:30 Where to practice the tools in the community Key Takeaways: Emotions are functional survival signals that reflect whole-body states. The insula, amygdala, and cingulate form networks that integrate sensory input with bodily responses. Protective outputs like numbness or shutdown are learned adaptations that supported safety. Studies associate early childhood trauma with elevated inflammation markers, while outcomes are shaped by environment and support. Neuroplasticity means skills, relationships, and practice can help repattern responses over time.

From castles and waterfalls to ancient standing stones, they share the joy of work, play, and community in recovery. But the heart of today's conversation is the fawn response—a trauma survival strategy often misunderstood as “people pleasing.” Drawing on their own stories and professional experiences, Molly and Clarissa explore how fawning develops, why it feels so challenging to change, and how it manifests in recovery and relationships. What We Talk About Fawning explained: Why it's more than people pleasing and how it functions as a survival strategy. Personal stories: Growing up in emotionally immature households, learning to appease, and the impact on identity and relationships. Adaptive vs. maladaptive fawning: When appeasement helps us survive—and when it harms us. Symptoms and signs: From difficulty saying no, over-apologizing, and hypervigilance to identity loss and emotional exhaustion. Why fawning is reinforced: Cultural, gender, and relational factors that reward compliance at the cost of selfhood. Professional insights: What clinicians and helpers need to know about clients who fawn—including vulnerability to relapse, self-neglect, and difficulty with boundaries. Pathways to healing: Building awareness, practicing small boundaries, parts work, somatic tools, and self-compassion as antidotes to shame. Grief and growth: Naming the loss that comes with shifting out of fawning while also reclaiming voice, choice, and authenticity. Invitation for Listeners This week, reflect on a time you said “yes” when you truly wanted to say “no.” What small, safe boundary might you practice instead? Notice how your body responds, and give yourself permission to honor your needs—one step at a time. ✨ Resources Mentioned Are You Mad at Me? by Meg Josephson Sweet Sobriety Membership & Groups: www.sweetsobriety.ca

After being diagnosed with Osteosarcoma when she was 10 years old in 2012 Bailey Moody decided that despite what some were saying, her budding athletic career was not over. Since that time, Bailey has been a member of the Women's Wheelchair Basketball National Team since 2018 as a 16 year old, winning World Championships in 2019 and 2023, a two time Paralympian, winning a Bronze Medal in Tokyo in 2021 and a Silver Medal in Paris in 2024, winning 5 National Collegiate Championships from 2021 to 2015 at the University of Alabama, Winning the Finals MVP award after her 30 point effort in the final game of 2025, and being named an Academic All American from 2021 through 2025.

What if we could measure adaptive capacity with the same precision we apply to engineering rocket systems?Dr. Irena Chaushevska Danilovska reveals how neuroscience capabilities integrate with distributed innovation ecosystems to create a mission assurance architecture for organizations seeking resilience in dynamic environments.After building startup ecosystems across Silicon Valley, the US, and Europe, Dr. Danilovska recognized a critical pattern: investment systems deployed billions based on networks rather than capability under pressure. Her research validates what becomes possible when we engineer resilient infrastructure AND resilient minds as one integrated system.Paradigm Shifts:→ The 71% Solution: Six validated dimensions of "Adaptive Capacity Under Uncertainty" predict entrepreneurial success with 71% accuracy (vs. Big Five's 10%)—transforming human performance from soft variable to quantifiable mission assurance metric→ Distributed Redundancy Architecture: Regional innovation hubs co-located with NASA centers create parallel supplier networks—eliminating six-month wait times and single-point failures threatening national security→ Complementarity Engineering: Mission-specific team profiles optimize for collective adaptive capacity, not individual perfection (commanders: resilience + leadership; specialists: curiosity + innovativeness; directors: decision-making + opportunism)The Innovation: Space Coast Valley Earth Port pioneers integrated infrastructure development and human potential assessment as one co-evolutionary system. No hardware milestone without a matching ecosystem + human milestone. No subjective selection without evidence-based assessment.Key Finding: Only 3-5% of aspiring entrepreneurs possess the necessary baseline adaptive capacity. Corporate CEOs demonstrate strength in resilience/leadership but exhibit weakness in curiosity and value creation. Successful founders score high across all dimensions—and these traits are trainable through neurofeedback protocols.Strategic Reframe: "How do we architect both resilient infrastructure and optimized human teams as integrated elements? How do we design adaptive capacity—human and organizational—into systems from inception rather than hoping for it?"The next decade will return humanity to the Moon and push toward Mars. The systems we build now—both technological and human—determine whether we thrive beyond Earth.Guest: Dr. Irena Chaushevska Danilovska, Founder & CEO, Space Coast Valley Earth PortHost: Marco Annunziata, Co-Founder, Annunziata Desai AdvisorsSeries Hosts:Vikram Shyam, Lead Futurist, NASA Glenn Research CenterDyan Finkhousen, Founder & CEO, Shoshin WorksEcosystemic Futures is a systems foresight series provided by Shoshin Works, evolved from our collaboration with NASA's Convergent Aeronautics Solutions Project.

Two companies bid to become the Brand New Air Traffic Control System prime integrator, FAA issues carry-on SAFO, 737 MAX production limits eased, P&W and GE adaptive cycle engines, Sikorsky contract for CH-53K helicopters, and Sergei Sikorsky passes away at age 100. Aviation News Two bidders vie to be project manager of massive FAA US air traffic overhaul Two bids to become the prime integrator in the FAA's project to overhaul the air traffic control system have been received. Congress has approved $12.5 billion for the Brand New Air Traffic Control System (BNATCS), and the Agency has indicated that an additional $19 billion might be requested. The bids come from two DC Beltway companies: Peraton is a national security company owned by Veritas Capital and headquartered in Reston, Virginia. See the press release: Peraton Offers the FAA a Brand New Approach for Its Revolutionary ATC Modernization Initiative. Parsons Corporation is a technology provider in national security and global infrastructure markets. Headquartered in Chantilly, Virginia, Parsons confirmed it has bid with IBM. The FAA says it will make a selection by the end of October. FAA urges airlines to discourage passengers from taking bags during evacuations The FAA issued Safety Alert for Operators (SAFO 25003, PDF) titled “Addressing Risk Associated with Passenger Non-Compliance and Retention of Carry-On Baggage and Personal Items During Emergency Evacuations.” The SAFO “Serves to emphasize the operational and safety-critical importance of strict passenger compliance with crewmember instructions during emergency evacuations. Specifically, it addresses the adverse effects of passengers attempting to evacuate with carry-on items, which can significantly impede evacuation procedures and increase the potential for injury or fatality.” FAA Signals Easing of Oversight on Boeing Jets The FAA is expecting to restore Boeing's ability to conduct safety sign-offs on new 737 MAX jets. Final airworthiness certificates will continue to be issued by the regulator The FAA is also considering increasing Boeing's 737 MAX production cap from 38 to 42 planes per month. Engines for America's F-47 Sixth Gen Combat Aircraft Coming Together Faster Than Expected The F-47 is being developed as part of the Next Generation Air Dominance (NGAD) Family of Systems. It's a stealthy air superiority aircraft that can directly engage adversaries on the ground and in the air. It will be able to fly itself as well as collaborate with and control wingman drones. The propulsion system being developed under the Next Generation Adaptive Propulsion (NGAP) program is a concept that offers two modes of operation, which can be dynamically adjusted in flight: high thrust and high speed, and lower thrust with reduced fuel burn. Adaptive cycle engines can modulate the bypass ratio and fan pressure using a third air stream and advanced variable geometry components. Both Pratt & Whitney and General Electric are developing NGAP engines. Airbus, Air France reject blame over AF447 crash, 16 years on Air France 447 crashed in the Atlantic in 2009. In a 2023 trial, the judge found acts of negligence by Airbus and Air France, but determined that, under French criminal law, these acts were insufficient to establish a definitive link to the loss of the A330. Both Airbus and Air France were cleared of corporate manslaughter. In an appeals hearing, the two companies pleaded not guilty. Air France and Airbus chief executives recognized the suffering of the families, but denied any criminal responsibility for the crash. Appeal hearings are expected to run until late November 2025. Sikorsky to Build 99 CH-53K King Stallions for the U.S. Marine Corps Sikorsky announced the award of a $10.8 billion contract from the U.S. Navy to build up to 99 CH-53K King Stallion helicopters for the U.S. Marine Corps over the next five years.

California relies on the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta as a hub for water, biodiversity, agriculture, recreation, and more. How can we make sure that management actions are working as intended? Returning guest Stephen Elser is a Senior Environmental Scientist with the Delta Stewardship Council, which works to advance California's coequal goals: a more reliable water supply and a resilient Delta ecosystem. Broadly, Stephen's team is tasked with supporting the use of adaptive management to enhance conservation and sustainable use of the Delta.Adaptive management is a flexible approach to managing natural resources that allows for continuous learning, resulting in management decisions based on what was learned rather than simply implementing without regard for scientific feedback or monitoring. Management actions can be viewed as hypotheses to be tested, with the goal of continuous improvement while reducing uncertainty. Stephen explains the process of adaptive management, and why it's so important in complex ecosystems like the Delta.Stephen's Haiku:Uncertain futuresBut we know a lot, let's actLearning as we go -Read more about the Delta Stewardship Council at their website.-Follow this link to learn more about the Council's adaptive management work, and to find resources on developing adaptive management plans.-The 2025 Adaptive Management Forum will be held on October 14-15!

Don Noble is an Instructor in the Department of Cell Biology at Emory University. He received his BS in Neuroscience from the University of California – Los Angeles (UCLA) in 2008, and his PhD in Neuroscience from Emory in 2016. Dr. Noble's academic interests include understanding fundamental sensory processes that contribute to the benefits of meditation, with an emphasis on slow, deep breathing. For his PhD, he developed an animal model of the relaxation response by using operant conditioning to train rodents to slow their breathing, and pursued the idea that patterned activation of mechanically sensitive lung afferents can shift autonomic balance, decrease stress and pain, and improve performance. As a Postdoc, he pioneered remote respiratory recordings to investigate breathing deficits in the context of chronic pain after traumatic injury. Dr. Noble is passionate about integrating these ideas across fields, and adapting them to educational curricula that explore alternative and sometimes unconventional approaches to enhance well-being. His research publications to date have focused on the functions and mechanisms of slow, deep breathing as a voluntary portal to autonomic nervous system control, while ongoing physio-behavioral studies in his lab use chemogenetic techniques to elucidate how the simple, repetitive act of breathing can powerfully modulate mental states.Support the show

In this episode, D and I wrap our stance series by exploring Types 4, 5, and 9, the so-called “withdrawn” types. We unpack what “withdrawing” actually looks like at work (hint: it can be deep engagement happening on the inside), how each type's strengths show up on teams, and where friction tends to arise under pressure. We also share quick, practical “stretch” moves for each type and reframes that managers can use to turn perceived quiet into powerful contribution. What You'll LearnWhat “withdrawn” actually means: the difference between internal engagement and disconnection, and how to tell which one you're seeing.Type 4 (The Visionary): depth, authenticity, and storytelling superpowers, plus the pull toward what's missing and how to re-ground in action.Type 5 (The Strategist): the “quiet genius” who protects limited energy, leads with data, and benefits from defining “enough information.”Type 9 (The Consensus-Builder): the calm bridge-builder who sees every side, along with the risk of fading out or numbing when things get intense.Adaptive vs. maladaptive (via Awareness to Action)Pairings & chemistryQuick Stretch Practices (Try These This Week)For 4s: Notice when emotion is pulling you inward; name one next action to move your insight forward.For 5s: Decide “what's enough” before you research; share work-in-progress to invite collaboration (even if it's not perfect).For 9s: Speak before consensus—offer your “current take” and say you're open to revising it.Reflection PromptsWhen I'm overwhelmed, do I retreat into feelings (4), thoughts (5), or comfort/peace (9)?Where's the line, for me or my teammate, between internal engagement and disconnection?What's our re-entry plan after someone steps back to process (time box, next touchpoint, decision deadline)?Resources & Next StepsBring this to your team: We're already booking year-end closers and 2026 kickoffs.

Energy expenditure is one of the most fundamental yet often misunderstood aspects of human physiology. A central question is whether there is a ceiling to how many calories we can burn, and what happens when activity levels approach that limit. Grasping these dynamics is essential for health professionals and researchers, as energy balance directly influences body weight regulation, metabolic health, and athletic performance. Emerging research shows that our bodies regulate calorie burn not in a fixed manner, but through adaptation and compensation, revealing that the “calories in vs. calories out” model is far more dynamic than it may first appear. In this episode, we revisit key insights from experts such as Dr. Herman Pontzer, Dr. Brent Ruby, Dr. Mark Hopkins, Dr. Eric Trexler, and Dr. Chris Melby. These perspectives cover how the body adapts to different levels of physical activity, the metabolic adjustments during weight loss (often called adaptive thermogenesis), and the concept of energy flux in weight maintenance.

McKay returns today for an extensive exploration into how our responses to life's setbacks shape our journey. Drawing insights from the Harvard Study of Adult Development, he challenges conventional wisdom, arguing that our perspective transforms challenges from daunting "mountains" into manageable "molehills."McKay reveals happiness isn't predicted by wealth or IQ, but by an "adaptive coping style" - learning from failures to create growth, akin to turning "lemons into lemonade." This is exemplified by Bill Graham, who overcame immense hardship through helping others and embracing a positive outlook. The episode utilizes a "halftime" metaphor for life, urging listeners to assess, learn from past "plays," and strategize for moving forward, rather than dwelling on what cannot be changed. As you will hear, avoiding overreaction to minor inconveniences and fostering a positive "frame of reference" with supportive networks enables us to "fail forward."Main Themes:Our response to failure drives happiness.Adaptive coping matters more than wealth or IQ.Learn from mistakes; turn setbacks into chances.Friends and inspiration help overcome challenges.The halftime metaphor: review, adjust, plan ahead.Overreacting to small issues reduces happiness.Positive thoughts anchor our brain's frame of reference.Faith empowers us to overcome obstacles.Release small worries; value missteps for a content life.Top 10 Quotes:"Almost all failures are not mountains but molehills in the valley of life, unless we make them mountains.""It isn't so much what they started with, what mistakes they made, or what happened to them that influenced their happiness in life, it's what they did with what happened to them that mattered.""Learn to live in thankfulness, looking back at what you have had, and what you didn't have, and most of all, what you do have now.""The difference between average people and achieving people is their perception of and their response to failure.""A single event doesn't have to define who we are. Instead, we can consider our life over time and look at who we've become as a result of our cumulative choices.""This positive adaptation to life played a significantly greater role than genetics, wealth, race or other factors in determining how happy people were later in life.""Researchers in the study call this an 'adaptive coping style' and describe it as the capacity to turn lemons into lemonade and not turn molehills into mountains.""When we're in the midst of failure, we need to give our brain a framework based on true principles.""Halftime is perhaps the most important part of the game.""Let go of the small things. Value your small missteps, they make us better. Don't sweat the small stuff."Show Links:Open Your Eyes with McKay Christensen
