Jesse explores insights from the Retirements and Perspectives study, which captures the experiences and expectations of individuals transitioning into retirement, especially those aged 50 to 75. With half of the participants recently retired and the other half preparing to retire within two years, the study offers a timely look at the "final glide path" into retirement and the early years that follow. Authored by retirement experts Fritz Gilbert and Eric Weigel, the report dives into preparedness, lifestyle satisfaction, and evolving concerns. It reveals a common disconnect between what pre-retirees expect and what retirees actually experience—particularly around health, identity, and social engagement. Jesse discusses how meaning and purpose often decline post-retirement, and how maintaining social connection and physical health is key to thriving. Drawing inspiration from longevity expert Dr. Peter Attia, the episode emphasizes that preparing for retirement goes beyond money—it's about planning for purpose, relationships, and well-being. Jesse also shares three powerful exercises to help listeners create a more intentional retirement vision: the Perfect Day, the Ikigai Map, and the Rocking Chair Test. Key Takeaways:• Retirement is more than a financial event—it's a major life transition requiring emotional, social, and identity planning. • Physical health and vitality are crucial to enjoying retirement, not just surviving it. • Social connection is one of the strongest predictors of well-being in retirement. • The “Perfect Day” exercise helps retirees envision and plan a fulfilling daily life post-career. • The “Ikigai Map” offers a powerful framework to align purpose, passion, and impact in retirement. • The “Rocking Chair Test” encourages long-term reflection on what truly matters at the end of life.

By NOT Adhering to Jesus' “Great Commission” to “go . . . and make disciples” You Are Following Jesus MESSAGE SUMMARY: God said told all Jesus Followers to “go and make disciples” not to “make decisions”. In other words, we are to bring the Gospel to others with whom we have or with whom we develop a personal relationship. Therefore, we are to leave the “conversion” or the “decision” of others to become a Christian up to the Holy Spirit. Our job, as Jesus Followers, is to “go and make disciples”. In Jesus' last instructions to His Apostles and to you, before His Ascension to Heaven from Earth, is in Mathew 28:16-20 -- Jesus' Great Commission: “And Jesus came and said to them, ‘All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.'”. A disciple is a student, a follower, a learner. Making a disciple is not about classes. Making a disciple it about investing yourself in the life of another person – discipling is having a personal relationship with another person so that they see the life of Christ in you. Have you been discipled, or have you made a disciple? Not “going and making disciples” is your “great omission” as a Christian.     TODAY'S PRAYER: Lord, in order to be with you, I need you to show me how to “create a desert” in the midst of my full, active life. Cleanse me from the pressures, illusions, and pretenses that confront me today so that my life may serve as a gift to those around me. Amen.  Scazzero, Peter. Emotionally Healthy Spirituality Day by Day (p. 26). Zondervan. Kindle Edition. TODAY'S AFFIRMATION: Today, I affirm that, because I am in Jesus Christ, Nothing compares to knowing Jesus (Philippians 3:7f). “I can do everything through Him who gives me strength.”. (Philippians 4:14). SCRIPTURE REFERENCE (ESV):  Mathew 28:16-20; Mathew 9:36-38; Mathew 10:16-33; Psalms 115:1-18. A WORD FROM THE LORD WEBSITE: www.AWFTL.org.

In this episode of The Think Wildlife Podcast, we dive into the dynamic intersection of conservation, climate finance, and community-driven solutions with Mike Korchinsky, the founder and president of Wildlife Works. Our conversation explores how market-based mechanisms such as carbon credits and REDD+ (Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation) are revolutionizing the way we approach wildlife conservation, forest protection, and sustainable development.Understanding the Role of Carbon Credits in ConservationOver the last few years, there has been a growing global interest in financing climate solutions through mechanisms like biodiversity credits and carbon credits. These financial instruments incentivize forest communities and landowners to preserve ecosystems by providing an economic value to keeping forests intact. Wildlife Works is at the forefront of this movement, pioneering economic models that directly benefit local communities while safeguarding biodiversity.But how do carbon credits work?Mike breaks down the fundamental principles of carbon credits, explaining how they are measured, issued, and traded in the voluntary carbon market. He highlights that one of Wildlife Works' major successes is its ability to convert conservation into a sustainable livelihood for communities that would otherwise be forced to engage in activities like logging or slash-and-burn agriculture.Wildlife Works: A Market-Based Conservation ModelMike takes us through his personal journey into conservation, tracing his early fascination with wildlife, particularly elephants, and how his first visit to Africa in the mid-1990s exposed him to the pressing conflict between human development and wildlife protection. Recognizing that traditional conservation models were insufficient, he founded Wildlife Works in 1998 with the belief that economic incentives could be a game-changer in protecting endangered ecosystems.One of the most remarkable aspects of Wildlife Works' approach is its focus on empowering communities. Unlike conventional conservation projects that might impose restrictions on local populations, Wildlife Works ensures that indigenous and rural communities are active participants in shaping conservation solutions that also serve their long-term social and economic interests.The REDD+ Framework and Its ImpactThe REDD+ (Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Degradation) framework, developed by the United Nations, is a key mechanism in global conservation efforts. REDD+ projects aim to reduce carbon emissions by offering financial incentives to governments, communities, and private sector actors who take action to preserve forests.Wildlife Works has been a pioneering force in REDD+ implementation, with projects spanning Africa, South America, and Asia. Their Kenyan project, launched in 2011, was the first of its kind to be issued carbon credits under the VERRA standard. From there, Wildlife Works expanded into the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), Colombia, Brazil, India, Indonesia, and more—focusing on regions with high biodiversity and intense deforestation pressures.But what does a REDD+ project look like on the ground?According to Mike, a successful REDD+ project integrates:* Community consultation and governance, ensuring that local people benefit from conservation efforts.* Biodiversity monitoring, safeguarding endangered species.* Sustainable livelihoods, such as eco-businesses, agroforestry, and handicrafts that reduce dependence on forest destruction.* Infrastructure development, including schools, healthcare facilities, and renewable energy projects.Addressing Criticism of Carbon CreditsDespite their potential, carbon credits and REDD+ projects have faced criticism. Some argue that carbon markets allow corporations to "greenwash" their emissions rather than actively reducing them. Others worry about the transparency and legitimacy of carbon credit verification.Mike acknowledges these concerns and explains how Wildlife Works ensures high-integrity projects by:* Adhering to Free, Prior, and Informed Consent (FPIC) principles, ensuring that indigenous communities voluntarily agree to projects.* Implementing safeguards to prevent "leakage", where deforestation might simply shift to another location.* Prioritizing permanence, making sure that conservation gains last for decades, not just a few years.* Working with independent third-party verifiers to validate carbon reductions.He also highlights that while bad actors have existed in the carbon market, the majority of REDD+ projects—especially those focused on nature-based solutions—are genuine, impactful, and community-driven.Wildlife Works' Global ImpactWith over two decades of experience, Wildlife Works has expanded its footprint across multiple continents, targeting some of the world's most at-risk forests. Their projects are currently active in:* Kenya: The birthplace of Wildlife Works' conservation model, protecting vital wildlife corridors.* Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC): Home to the second-largest tropical rainforest on Earth.* Colombia: Partnering with indigenous and Afro-Colombian communities to conserve Amazonian and coastal forests.* Indonesia & Cambodia: Addressing deforestation from palm oil plantations and illegal logging.* Brazil: Protecting the Amazon, which remains the largest and most endangered rainforest globally.* Solomon Islands: Providing sustainable alternatives to illegal timber logging.Each of these projects is tailored to the local socio-economic and ecological context, ensuring that conservation solutions are equitable and effective.The Role of Eco-Businesses in ConservationBeyond carbon credits, Wildlife Works also supports eco-business ventures that offer alternative livelihoods to local communities. This includes:* Handicrafts and sustainable fashion, where traditional artisans can sell their products to global markets.* Agroforestry and regenerative farming, ensuring that agricultural practices do not harm the surrounding ecosystems.* Renewable energy initiatives, reducing reliance on deforestation-driven fuel sources.These initiatives ensure that conservation efforts are not just about preserving trees but also about empowering people to create self-sustaining economies.Challenges and the Future of Conservation FinanceMike reflects on the major challenges faced in the conservation sector:* Instability in the carbon market, with fluctuating prices affecting long-term project planning.* Misinformation and skepticism about carbon credits, often fueled by ideological opposition to market-driven solutions.* The need for greater corporate engagement, as voluntary carbon markets remain underutilized by businesses.* Competing conservation agendas, where NGOs and activists sometimes work against each other rather than collaborating for the greater good.Despite these challenges, the urgency of deforestation and biodiversity loss means that market-based solutions must scale rapidly. Mike emphasizes that the next decade is critical in turning the tide against environmental destruction.How Individuals Can Support Wildlife WorksFor listeners wondering how they can make an impact, Mike suggests:* Purchasing carbon credits from Wildlife Works, offsetting personal emissions while supporting conservation.* Buying eco-friendly products from Wildlife Works-affiliated businesses.* Spreading awareness about the benefits of nature-based solutions and REDD+ projects.* Advocating for stronger corporate commitments to conservation finance.As we wrap up the episode, it's clear that carbon credits and conservation finance are more than just buzzwords—they are essential tools in the fight to protect our planet's most precious ecosystems.For more information, visit Wildlife Works' website and explore their various conservation and eco-business initiatives. Let's take action to support climate-positive solutions and ensure a sustainable future for forests, wildlife, and communities worldwide.Subscribe to The Think Wildlife Podcast for more insightful discussions on conservation, sustainability, and environmental innovation.

In this episode, Joe Woodard talks to Ron Baker about the concept of moral injury as a more accurate explanation for what is often misdiagnosed as burnout, especially in the accounting and medical professions. They explore how moral injury arises when professionals face systemic or situational pressures that force them to act against their deeply held beliefs, creating anxiety and dissatisfaction. This issue is more profound than the surface-level symptoms of burnout and is rooted in the disconnect between the transactional nature of modern work environments and the purpose-driven calling many professionals feel.

Recent allegations of workplace bullying in parliamentary offices are a stark reminder that, in high-pressure professional environments, “bullying cannot be normalised or excused, and the wellbeing of staff must remain a priority”, says one senior human rights and discrimination lawyer. In this episode of The Lawyers Weekly Show, host Jerome Doraisamy welcomes back Elevate Consulting Partners founder Prabha Nandagopal, who was the senior legal adviser to the Respect@Work inquiry, about the extent to which new positive duties to stamp out workplace misconduct such as bullying and sexual harassment have been adopted by Australian workplaces, the lack of education that businesses may have about those duties, and how new workplace norms such as scattered workforces and communication via new technologies has seen a proliferation in misconduct via new mediums. Nandagopal also reflects on the fact that a lack of reporting doesn't mean that misconduct isn't occurring, the questions that businesses must ask of themselves in ensuring their frameworks are up to scratch, the need for top-down approaches from leadership, the thematic issues with power in the workplace, having good response plans, and why businesses cannot be complacent about their positive duties.

Ethiopia's coffee and cut flower industries are grappling with significant challenges due to new EU regulations. From January 2025, producers must comply with the bloc's Due Diligence Act, which mandates strict environmental standards for exporting to Europe. Millions of small-scale coffee farmers will need to demonstrate that their land is free from deforestation, while flower farmers will have to address a pest that threatens European markets or risk exclusion from the trade. This poses a major concern for Ethiopia, which exports 30 percent of its coffee and 8 percent of its flowers to Europe. Adhering to these new EU standards will be a daunting task, as FRANCE 24's Clothilde Hazard and Olivia Bizot report.

Alright this was such a fun talk. Today we chatted with Nick founder of Found North Whisky. These guys are doing some amazing things I can't wait for yall to see it. Make sure you sign up for there mailing list there last Batch sold out in 90 seconds. But first a word from our sponsors. Badmotivatorbarrels.com/shop/?aff=3 https://www.instagram.com/zsmithwhiskeyandmixology?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw== Patreon.com/the_whiskeyshaman Foundnorthwhisky.com FOUND NORTH Each batch of Found North whisky is a careful selection of casks blended to bring out the best and most distinctive qualities of the chosen whiskies. Every release is unique, but each also builds on previous batches and fits into the unfolding saga of Found North. All our whiskies are non-chill filtered with no coloring or additives. Batch 001 and Batch 002 were released in April 2021 and both received Double Gold at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition. Batch 003 was awarded Double Gold and Batch 004 won "Best Canadian Whisky" and was awarded Double Gold at the John Barleycorn Awards Spring 2022. Found North Hell DiverFirst Flight Description Hell Diver First Flight is the newest addition to our High Altitude Collection. Unlike our Batches where we blend fully matured whiskies, our High Altitude Collection is defined by the process of blend, finish, reblend. Adhering to this creation philosophy, Hell Diver started as a blend of 15, 22 and 23 year old corn with 18 and 19 year old rye, which we recasked into Pedro Ximénez Sherry, Cognac, and New American oak casks. Over the following year, we meticulously tracked these casks' progression, pulling and vatting them as they reached their peak maturation. To achieve the correct balance, we only used two-thirds of these casks in the final blend.We designed the original blend with Pedro Ximénez Sherry casks in mind. Sherry casks are heavy-handed and prone to overwhelm meek-spirited whisky. A domineering cask requires an imperious spirit. As such, we created a deep, rich and viscous original blend with prominent orchard fruit preserves, earthy rye spice and pronounced rose blossom water top notes. We believed this foundation would handle the sweet and dry resonance of PX Sherry casks. Flavor Notes A swirling aura of fig preserves, chocolate pound cake and straight cacao waft from the glass as the first pour flows from the bottle. The nose evolves into caramel, shortbread wafer and candied apricot with coffee ice cream and chocolate covered raspberries.‍Hell Diver lands like a power chord, strumming cinnamon, dark chocolate and wood spice on the front palate. This whisky is a maelstrom of layered flavor and texture. Like the wind and the tide, the oily-sweet viscosity on the tongue merges with the crackling nutmeg spice on the roof of the palate, meeting in the middle to create a tempest of tannin, graham cracker, vanilla and allspice, all tinged a deep shade of ruby red fruit. If your palate had eyes it would see claret. The flavors coalesce, the sea calms and the finish leaves you with reverberating notes of candied dates and cloves. Why We Made This Whisky For us, Found North is an ongoing journey, an unfolding story. When we made Peregrine, we had a vision for an elegant, elevated whisky; a bird, a blend and a style that could wear the crown of the High Altitude Collection. The resulting whisky embodied the high-soaring Peregrine Falcon that reaches for the heavens.As we contemplated the next chapter in the collection, we wanted to create Peregrine's counterpart. Though the loon is a great flier, traveling upwards of 500 miles in a single day, it is known for its aquatic prowess and its eerie nighttime call that haunts the foggy northern lakes of North America. Nicknamed the Hell Diver, the Common Loon is an uncommonly heavy bird allowing it to propel itself below the water's surface. And if you read this far Batch 10 release is right now so get it while you can.

Today's guest is Jane Golda Winn. She shares how the promise of Isaiah 45:3 has touched her heart. She grew up in a Jewish family concerned about following the Jewish religious traditions. Adhering to Shabbat, celebrating Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur were part of her growing up experiences. But growing up was a traumatic experience for her and her sisters. Her friends call her Goldie. You will too!

In this episode of "The Strategy Gap", hosts Jonathan Morgan and Joe Krause engage in a robust conversation with Marc Mertz, the Chief Strategy Officer at Kaweah Health. Marc, who has over 25 years of experience in the healthcare industry, delves into the significant role of a Chief Strategy Officer (CSO). He explains that a CSO is pivotal in leading the development of the strategic plan, engaging various teams in the process, and overseeing the plan's execution throughout the year. Marc highlights that his position allows him to focus on conceptual strategic thinking, such as developing new services and market positioning, as opposed to being absorbed by day-to-day operational responsibilities.The discussion further explores the challenge of balancing immediate operational pressures with strategic foresight, especially in a high-stakes environment like healthcare. Marc shares his insights on encouraging executives and staff to allocate mental space for strategic thinking by conducting visioning sessions. He also talks about the importance of transforming complex strategic plans into simplified formats, such as a single-page document that includes the organization's mission, vision, pillars, and measurable outcomes. This approach not only enhances understanding and visibility but also ensures the strategic plan remains a functional tool rather than a neglected document.Moreover, the episode emphasizes the vital components of execution and accountability in strategic planning. Marc discusses the use of tools like AchieveIt to track progress, ensure timely updates, and maintain visibility across the organization. He also underscores the significance of regular updates and presentations to leadership teams and the board, which fosters continuous engagement and accountability. The conversation touches on the necessity of annual reviews to adjust plans as needed while celebrating milestones and successes to keep the momentum going. By engaging all levels of the organization and maintaining a structured review process, Marc firmly believes that strategic plans can transition from static documents to dynamic guides that drive meaningful progress.In this episode:0:00 The Role of the Chief Strategy Officer in Healthcare4:19 Strategic Thinking for Executives During Crisis8:34 Community-Informed Strategic Planning for Organizational Success10:17 Including Stakeholders in Plan Execution: Focusing on Benefits15:44 Scorekeeping and Visibility in Strategic Planning17:41 Managing Control and Pressure in Professional Settings20:43 The Power of Consistency in Achieving Change25:41 The Importance of Adhering to One-Year Plans27:35 Navigating the First Year: Patience and Focus

Avik Ashar, Principal at Artha Venture Fund, and Jeremy Au discussed: 1. Zilingo Ethical Dilemmas: Avik reflected on his experiences at Zilingo where rapid expansion led to questionable practices such as buying and selling Apple watches on their fashion lifestyle platform just to meet monthly sales targets, in order to achieve founder and board expectations of non-stop growth. He warned that crossing ethical lines for short-term gains, like funding or fame, is difficult to reverse over the medium term. Adhering to ethical standards is key to decisions that might push the boundaries of integrity, with the option of walking away from the job. 2. India vs. Southeast Asia Startups: Avik explained the similarities and differences between Southeast Asia and India, particularly the diverse and non-homogeneous nature of the two. In Southeast Asia, the cultural diversity within countries like Thailand and Indonesia requires tailored management strategies for each locale, much like in India where the cultural landscape changes dramatically over short distances. A deep understanding of local nuances is crucial for effective business operations. With examples from his management experience, he noted the distinct approaches needed in cities like Bangkok versus rural Thailand, and the cultural shifts encountered when traveling from metropolitan centers like Mumbai to smaller towns within India. 3. Market & Consumer Diversity: Avik explored the complexities of the Indian market, the stark economic disparities and varied consumer behaviors. He described the high spending power of urban elites compared to the rising middle class's evolving consumer expectations. He also discussed the integration of technology in traditional sectors like textile manufacturing, and the transformative impact of digitization on industries traditionally lacking in infrastructure and capital expenditure. They also covered the critical importance of stringent due diligence in financial dealings, especially in emerging markets like India, the nuances of ethical leadership within rapidly scaling startups and socio-economic stratification with distinct spending behaviors in India.

By NOT Adhering to Jesus' “Great Commission” to “go . . . and make disciples” You Are Following Jesus MESSAGE SUMMARY: God said told all Jesus Followers to “go and make disciples” not to “make decisions”. In other words, we are to bring the Gospel to others with whom we have or with whom we develop a personal relationship. Therefore, we are to leave the “conversion” or the “decision” of others to become a Christian up to the Holy Spirit. Our job, as Jesus Followers, is to “go and make disciples”. In Jesus' last instructions to His Apostles and to you, before His Ascension to Heaven from Earth, is in Mathew 28:16-20 -- Jesus' Great Commission: “And Jesus came and said to them, ‘All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.'”. A disciple is a student, a follower, a learner. Making a disciple is not about classes. Making a disciple it about investing yourself in the life of another person – discipling is having a personal relationship with another person so that they see the life of Christ in you. Have you been discipled, or have you made a disciple? Not “going and making disciples” is your “great omission” as a Christian.   TODAY'S PRAYER: Lord, in order to be with you, I need you to show me how to “create a desert” in the midst of my full, active life. Cleanse me from the pressures, illusions, and pretenses that confront me today so that my life may serve as a gift to those around me. Amen.  Scazzero, Peter. Emotionally Healthy Spirituality Day by Day (p. 26). Zondervan. Kindle Edition. TODAY'S AFFIRMATION: Today, I affirm that, because I am in Jesus Christ, God is working His will in my life (Philippians 2:13). “I can do everything through Him who gives me strength.”. (Philippians 4:14). SCRIPTURE REFERENCE (ESV):  Mathew 28:16-20; Mathew 9:36-38; Mathew 10:16-33; Psalms 115:1-18. A WORD FROM THE LORD WEBSITE: www.AWFTL.org.

WENDY GROUNDS:  ...that I just want to jump straight into that.  So about a year or two ago I watched a program, and it was a BBC series on a castle.  It is called the Guédelon Castle, and it's a remarkable project that's been, gosh, I think for about 25 years they've been building this castle.  It's nestled in the forest near Paris, and it's a testament to the dedication of a team of artisans and history enthusiasts.  And they are resurrecting authentic medieval building techniques. This is an ambitious experimental archaeology project that has captivated historians and builders alike as they are meticulously recreating medieval construction practices, and they're not using any modern amenities like electricity and power tools.  They are just building a castle using bricks and using... BILL YATES:  And they're putting the bricks together, and they're mixing the paint. WENDY GROUNDS:  Right. BILL YATES:  It's just mind-blowing. WENDY GROUNDS:  It's all from scratch.  The person we're talking to is Sarah Preston.  She is originally from the southwest of England, and she's worked at Guédelon since 2006.  She's a guide, a photographer, a translator, a press officer, and she's also worked as associate producer for numerous documentaries about Guédelon. So, when we reached out to them, they wanted to talk with us.  They were excited to share their project.  But they needed someone who spoke English.  Or we did, because we don't speak French.  So, we are very excited to be talking to Sarah. BILL YATES:  You know, Wendy, one of the interesting things to me with this project, there are so many aspects to it.  But the lessons that they've learned with Guédelon are now being applied to the reconstruction of Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris, following the fire that was so devastating to that beautiful cathedral back in 2019.  My wife and I were fortunate enough to see Notre Dame before it burned.  And just the, you know, the heavy heart when I saw the devastation of that.  So, it's especially neat tribute that this project is helping the reconstruction of Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris. WENDY GROUNDS:  Yeah, it's pretty incredible, and I'm excited to get into it.  So do join us, folks, as we celebrate this remarkable project. Sarah, welcome to Manage This.  Thank you so much for joining us today. SARAH PRESTON:  Thank you for having me.

Experiencing God's goodness is not about achieving perfection but about recognizing and accepting our brokenness as the space where God's grace and healing are most evident. Adhering to checklist morality and striving for a "good life" often result in unfulfillment and disappointment, revealing the limitations of human efforts in the quest for goodness. So, this is where we can experience the true strength of the church community because as a whole it can embody and disseminate God's goodness through its actions and meaningful relationships. Ultimately, the brokenness of Jesus on the cross profoundly illustrates the depth of God's goodness by demonstrating his willingness to endure suffering and sacrifice for the sake of our redemption, offering us healing and salvation through his wounds.

Savino, The National Library of Medicine “He, Jesus, is the only savior with glorified wounds, and through them, the light of new creation shines into our broken world.” Makoto Fujimura Makoto Fujimura, Kintsugi art TRANSCRIPT Fasting & Prayer Throughout this series we encourage you to participate as we collectively fast and pray on Wednesdays.

Being a farmer in antiquity was a hard job. Without any mechanized tools and plows, farming demanded a great deal of sweat and toil. But what choice did you have? If you want to feed your family, you need to work the land. Then comes the Shemitah. Every 7th year, the farmers in the Land are barred from working the field. For one year, the Land must lay fallow. Adhering to this mitzvah demands a great deal of faith and spiritual fortitude. But there is more: every 50th year is the Yovel where for the second year in a row, working the Land was prohibited. In this special edition of the Parsha Podcast, we take a deep dive into the fascinating and the mysterious subject of Yovel.

This week on the new Major League Podcast with Savannah Robinson she and Coach Blu discuss opinions. Opinions should be fluid because the world is constantly evolving, and new information is continuously emerging. Adhering rigidly to a single opinion can hinder personal growth and understanding. Being open to adjusting our opinions based on new insights fosters critical thinking, empathy, and adaptability. It enables us to engage in informed discussions, consider alternative perspectives, and ultimately make more well-rounded decisions. Embracing fluidity in opinions allows for intellectual growth and a better understanding of the complex and dynamic world we live in.

The backlash against remote work is in full swing, with 90% of CEOs reportedly rewarding in-office workers with more promotions and raises. But to Scott Farquhar, co-CEO of Atlassian, that's a big mistake — and in a just-released study, he's got hard numbers to back him up. Scott talks with Rapid Response host Bob Safian about how the 10,000-person collaboration-software company — Australia's premier tech startup — is defying the trend with a bold gambit called Team Anywhere. Adhering to an Atlassian core value (“no bullshit”), Scott shares insights about work flexibility, productivity, and the unexpected power of sporadic, but intentional gatherings. To prepare for the future of work, he says, business leaders need to take risks.If you're interested in learning more from Atlassian and Scott be sure to check out "Lessons Learned," a report about how Atlassian has navigated distributed work at scale, including experiments they've run, data they've collected, and stories Atlassian employees have shared: https://www.atlassian.com/solutions/distributed/lessons-learnedRead a transcript of this episode: https://mastersofscale.comSubscribe to the Masters of Scale weekly newsletter: https://mastersofscale.com/subscribeSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
