Kirstin Ferguson: Blindspotting Kirstin Ferguson has been recognized globally by Thinkers50 as one of the top 50 management thinkers in the world and is the recipient of the 2023 Distinguished Leadership Award. She was an officer in the Royal Australian Air Force, and then went on to lead an international consulting firm as CEO, before serving on the boards of major publicly listed, private, and non-profit organizations. She is the author of Women Kind, Head & Heart, and her newest book Blindspotting: How to See What Others Miss (Amazon, Bookshop)*. If we stop to think about it, always all of us recognize that we have blind spots. Given that reality, anything we can do that helps us see what others might miss will help us lead better. In this conversation, Kirsten and I explore the mindsets and practices that will help us uncover more of our blind spots. Key Points Experts are better at knowing when they are right, but also less likely to show appropriate doubt when they could be wrong. There's a time to be a seeker and a time to be a knower. Both are important in different situations, but leaders in many situations would benefit from more seeking. Blindspotting is about calibration, not hesitation. Accept your intellectual limitations. A key way to do this is saying these four words more: “I don't know yet.” Disentangling your ego will help your blind spot better. Shift away from your pride a bit by separating yourself from your knowledge and expertise. Hunt down your biases. Admitting they exist is step one. Model vulnerability by talking about your past mistakes both with yourself and with others. Resources Mentioned Blindspotting: How to See What Others Miss by Kirstin Ferguson (Amazon, Bookshop)*.

Today, Jesse is joined by Professor John Dinsmore—behavioral finance researcher, marketing scholar, and author of The Marketing of Debt: How They Get You—for a conversation about how persuasion, psychology, and modern advertising quietly shape our financial lives. Together, they explore how marketers exploit human biases like loss aversion, anchoring, and over-optimism to sell products, loans, and debt, and why AI-driven "adaptive ads" are making it harder than ever to recognize when we're being influenced. John shares real-world examples—from car dealerships to "buy now, pay later" offers and sports betting apps—revealing how even savvy consumers fall prey to tactics designed to exploit fear, emotion, and cognitive shortcuts. The discussion also dives into the growing vulnerability of retirees targeted by complex financial products, and why awareness, self-monitoring, and slowing down decisions are key defenses. Throughout, Jesse and John remind listeners that acknowledging our weaknesses is a strength—and that understanding how marketing works is one of the best ways to protect both our wallets and our wellbeing. Key Takeaways:• Marketing works on everyone—even when we think we're immune. Most people admit that advertising influences others, but few realize how deeply it shapes their own decisions. • People tend to believe they'll have more time, money, or stability in the future, making it easy to justify debt today. • Loss aversion drives many financial mistakes. We fear losses more than we value gains, which leads us to buy unnecessary warranties, insurance, or "safety" products. • AI-powered marketing will get subtler. As systems learn to mimic human tone and emotion, it will become harder to tell when you're being influenced. • Social media blurs the line between content and advertising. Influencer partnerships and native ads make it harder to recognize when you're being sold to. • Being "weak" isn't failure—it's human. Admitting our psychological blind spots allows us to build systems and habits that protect us.

The Drive looked at the Chiefs deadline pursuit of Breece Hall, and how it signals the team knows they have a RB problem.
The Urgency of Admitting Failure: Team B, CFIUS Reform, and Confronting Communist Ideology. Jim Fanell and Brad Thayer emphasize that the initial step toward addressing the crisis requires the US system to admit strategic failure. Fanell notes this is extremely difficult due to institutional bias, stressing that admitting a problem is necessary to receive treatment. The comprehensive threat from Communist China necessitates a "whole-of-government, whole-of-society" approach requiring US leadership to stop "threat deflation." Thayer discusses the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS) and recommends moving it from the Department of Commerce to the Department of Defense. More drastically, Thayer advocates for beginning to discuss seriously the need to cut off trade and investment in toto with the PRC. To improve intelligence analysis, the authors call for creating an independent and dynamic "Team B" to look at the PRC, similar to the original Team B established during the Cold War. The core response must involve identifying the CCP as the enemy and understanding communist ideology to grasp the permanence of the existential threat.

This episode of the Tactical Living Podcast, hosted by Coach Ashlie Walton and Sergeant Clint Walton, confronts one of the hardest truths in the first responder culture: admitting when you're burned out (Amazon Affiliate) feels impossible. For police officers, firefighters, EMTs, and military professionals, the job demands strength, endurance, and resilience. But behind the uniform, countless responders are silently suffering under the weight of burnout. The stigma around asking for help and the fear of being seen as weak often keep these struggles hidden until they become overwhelming. We'll explore why it's so difficult to say “I can't do this,” how burnout shows up in everyday life, and what can be done to recognize it and recover before it takes too heavy a toll. 5 Examples of Burnout in First Responders Emotional Numbness on and off Duty Calls that once stirred compassion now feel routine, leaving you detached from others and yourself. Irritability and Short Temper at Home The smallest frustrations turn into arguments, often spilling onto your spouse or kids. Chronic Fatigue Despite “Enough” Sleep No amount of rest seems to recharge your body or mind. Loss of Motivation or Purpose What once felt like a calling now feels like just another grind you're trying to survive. Isolation From Family and Peers Pulling away from relationships to avoid having to explain or reveal how much you're struggling. 5 Ways to Combat Burnout Normalize the Conversation Start talking about burnout openly—especially with peers—so it's no longer taboo to admit. Build Decompression Routines Create post-shift rituals that help your mind and body leave the job at the door. Use Professional and Peer Resources Counselors, chaplains, and peer support teams exist to provide culturally competent care. Reconnect With Your “Why” Revisit the reason you started serving in the first place—it can reignite purpose when the job feels endless. Invest in Life Beyond the Badge Hobbies, fitness, friendships, faith, and family are anchors that remind you of who you are outside of work.

Here's The Caveat... Intentional Leadership with Coach Bob Reish
Have you ever watched a leader go down with their own ship, pride first? Today, we're talking about what happens when leadership becomes more about saving face than saving the crew.Here's the caveat… a great captain doesn't abandon ship, but they also don't pretend it's not sinking. Too many leaders plug leaks with excuses, denial, and a smile for the camera. True leadership isn't about staying on deck while everything falls apart—it's about having the courage to face the storm, admit the damage, and start the repair.In this episode, we'll uncover what separates the leaders who survive the storm from those who sink with their own ego. Because in leadership, integrity isn't tested when the seas are calm, it's revealed when the water starts pouring in.Get ready to challenge the myth that staying “in control” means staying silent.
Big O talks TUA 101925
Hola New Paradigmers! ☉I grieve the loss,Of what could have been,But will continue to give,And do all I can.☉The mantra says it all for this and into next doesn't it? It's a little tricky discussing the new Moon in Libra today when it's not happening until Monday. From now until Monday we're in the 3/4 to balsamic Moon phase which is letting go, closing, and finishing the current cycle. The first two lines of the mantra address this letting go of an old way of life and perhaps treasured dreams and ideals that is happening world wide.The grand trine in water that I discuss in today's report, while heavy and intense, is pregnant with the possibility for deep, profound personal and relationship transformation. The truth can heal, rejuvenate, realign, and strengthen our relationships even though the sharing is often difficult. First is admitting our deepest challenges to ourselves. Second, is being humble and vulnerable enough to share these deep dark secrets. Third, is to not diminish, downplay, add on or subtract as the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth will do.It's hard to foresee or trust that such a "baring of the soul" is going to deepen, strengthen, and build a relationship. Often, we may feel that we'll actually scare the person away, give away all our power, lose respect, and be seen as a loser. Welcome to Mercury/Mars/Black Moon Lilith in Scorpio! The element of water holds not only the past and it's emotional wounds but our compassionate hearts that feel, go beyond judgement, understand the wound beneath the "fault, withhold, deception, weakness, shame, or guilt (etc.)" Being seen, heard, and accepted by another is a powerful healing experience so go for it!Sure wish the different factions existing within individual countries, individual leaders, and the countries they lead could do the same! Admitting our mistakes is humbling but ever so "human" that it builds trust and can lead to peaceful coexistence if not acceptance. "Part Two" of this report goes into the Ahrimanic forces rearing their heads these days and the increasing materialism of these times. The human, water element discussed above is the best remedy to this cold, isolating, lonely energy. In "Part Three" I share the Sabian symbol and the mantra which ties it all together as the best way/thing that we can give to society and future generations are pathways to love and compassion for the human experience, each other, and our beloved planet. The current trend of overvaluing information that is presented as wisdom, and superficial "picture perfect" relationships as models for our children to envy, aim for, and emulate, is the certain demise of our future and failure of our species to evolve. So let's be the ones! We Are the World! https://youtu.be/9AjkUyX0rVw?si=l9Vx_uEqGWpAtZ7_"We are the World, we are the ones,We are the Children,We are the ones who make a brighter day,So let's start giving."So Much Love,Kaypacha☉

Ask for HELP.MALE ANSWER SYNDROMEWhen a man doesn't know the answer instead of just saying, “I don't know,” he starts faking it as if he does.Our desire to be viewed as SUPERMAN has become our KRYPTONITE.Proverbs 13:10 Where there is strife, there is pride, but wisdom is found in those who take advice.Asking for help isnt WEAK, it may be the STRONGEST thing you will ever do.Proverbs 15:22 Plans fail for lack of advice; but many advisors bring success.Exodus 18:7 So moses went out to meet his father-in-law and bowed down and kissed him. They greeted each other and then went into the tent.Exodus 18:8 Moses told his father-in-law about everything the Lord had done to Pharoah and the Egyptians…Exodus 18:13 The very next day Moses took his seat to serve as judge for the people, and they stood around him from morning till evening.Exodus 18:14 When his father-in-law saw all that Moses was doing for the people,he said, “What is this you are doing for the people? Why do you alone sit as judge, while all these people stand around you from morning till evening?”Exodus 18:15-16 Moses answered him, “Because the people come to me to seek God's will. Whenever they have a dispute, it is brought to me, and I decide between the parties and inform them of God's decrees and instructions.”Exodus 18:17-18 Moses' father-in-law replied, “What you are doing is not good.You and these people who come to you will only wear yourselves out. The work istoo heavy for you; you cannot handle it alone.When you won't ask for help, you don't just wear yourself out. You wear out everyone else around you.Exodus 18:19 Listen now to me and I will give you some advice, and may God bewith you. You must be the people's representative before God and bring their disputes to him.Exodus 18:24 Moses listened to his father-in-law and did everything he said.Exodus 18:27 “Then Moses sent his father-in-law on his way,”1. You may be one piece of advice away from a better future.2. Asking for help isn't ADMITTING failure, it's pursuing SUCCESS.3. The QUALITY OF PEOPLE you surround yourself with will determine the QUALITY OF ADVICE you get.5 Requirements for Getting Wise Advice1. Follower of JESUS.2. Choose EXPERIENCE over influence.3. Ask people that KNOW you the best and LOVE you the most.4. Ask MORE than one person.5. Ask someone you know will LIKELY DISAGREE with you.4. Asking for help INVITES the POWER of God.Psalm 121:1-2 I lift up my eyes to the mountains—where does my help come from? My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth.”

Let's talk about Republicans admitting under Trump's shutdown will hurt working class Americans....
Chris Whalen, chairman of Whalen Global Advisors and author of The Institutional Risk Analyst blog, explains why Americans remain uncomfortable with gold despite it hitting new highs - it implies dollar weakness after 150 years of reserve currency dominance. He reveals FDR seized the Federal Reserve's gold in 1933 with little compensation, while today US gold allocation sits under 1% of portfolios versus growing central bank accumulation. Whalen defends his call for earlier Fed cuts. He sees gold reaching $5,000+ by end of 2026 as US allocations shift from under 1% toward 2%, while warning the average person without assets continues getting screwed as the Fed will eventually monetize Treasury issuance through financial repression.Sponsor: Monetary Metals. https://monetary-metals.com/julia Links: Twitter/X: https://twitter.com/rcwhalen Website: https://www.rcwhalen.com/ The Institutional Risk Analyst: https://www.theinstitutionalriskanalyst.com/ Inflated book (2nd edition): https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/inflated-r-christopher-whalen/1146303673Timestamps:0:00 Welcome and introduction - Chris Whalen's first in-studio appearance0:24 Julia's introduction highlighting Chris's credentials and analysis1:16 Fed takeaway - Steve Miran only governor wanting 50bp cut2:19 Housing emergency coming - Fed drove prices up, Trump faces constraint2:31 Housing scenarios - mortgage rates retreating after quarter point4:17 Monetary Metals ad read5:34 Housing psychology - homeowners trying to sell at the top6:53 Office space comparison - no longer premium asset class7:38 Fed rate cut outlook - may not see more cuts for months9:58 Bank balance sheet problems - mortgage securities underwater10:54 Politics of inflation - housing affordability crisis13:10 Viewer housing question response - Florida 1924 parallels15:32 DC trip on GSEs - still no roadmap from Treasury18:43 Fannie/Freddie trade - made 30% then got out19:54 Taking profits22:36 Watching the herd mentality25:20 Dollar/deficit thesis - weaker dollar, Treasury pressure ahead27:47 Fed restructuring vision - eliminate Board of Governors31:09 Housing emergency declaration - resuming MBS purchases discussion33:51 Mixed economy - wealthy vs bottom quartile struggling34:34 Debt myths - Americans love inflation, debt is currency36:18 Highest conviction trade - gold and strategic silver

Building Better Employee Experiences Through Leadership Shep interviews Mita Mallick, marketing and culture change expert and bestselling author. She talks about her book The Devil Emails at Midnight and the impact of internal workplace culture on employees and customers. This episode of Amazing Business Radio with Shep Hyken answers the following questions and more: What impact does internal workplace culture have on the external customer experience? How can leaders set healthier communication boundaries with their employees? How can companies create an inclusive culture that values both employees and customers equally? What are some negative leadership behaviors that can affect employee engagement and customer service? Why is it important for leaders to address problematic employee behavior immediately? Top Takeaways: Employees are sometimes the 'forgotten customers' in a business. Just as companies focus on serving their external customers, it is important to also care for internal customers, your team members. When employees feel valued and respected, they are more likely to treat customers in the same way. The quality of service on the outside is often a reflection of how employees are treated within the organization. The worst behaviors in any workplace become part of its culture if they are allowed to continue. Whether it's disrespect or disengagement, what leaders and team members let slide becomes the norm. Leaders should consider whether their personal habits force their team members to sacrifice their personal time. Work doesn't need to spill into all hours of the day and night. For example, when employees feel pressured to respond to emails outside of their work hours, it can cause burnout and stress. Even a simple message like "no need to respond right away" can help set healthy boundaries. When things change, you have to be willing to revise your goals. Have an honest conversation with your team to find out if they have all the tools and resources that they need to achieve a goal. If not, find out if you can help them or if it is time to set more realistic goals. Admitting when you are struggling shows strength, not weakness. If someone is dealing with personal struggles, being open about it helps others understand and can make the workplace more supportive. Bad bosses can teach as much, if not more, than great bosses. Watching what doesn't work and feeling the impact of negative behaviors can inspire people to do the opposite. Great leaders regularly examine their own behavior. It's easy to spot toxic bosses in others, but it is harder to recognize those traits in yourself. Leaders should take the time to ask themselves, "Am I making it harder for someone to succeed here?" Plus, Mita shares memorable stories of bad bosses she's encountered (including herself) and the lessons from those experiences. Tune in! Quote: "The biggest complaint in any relationship, whether at home or work, is a lack of time for each other. If you're not making time for your team, you really need to ask yourself why you're leading them." About: Mita Mallick is an inclusive marketing expert and cultural change agent known for transforming organizations. She's the bestselling author of Reimagine Inclusion and , The Devil Emails at Midnight: What Good Leaders Can Learn From Bad Bosses.

How the Old and New Testaments tell us the same thing
James O'Keefe (via his O'Keefe Media / Project Veritas apparatus) recently released a covert recording of Glenn Prager, a former DOJ official, during a flight from Phoenix to Washington. In the video, Prager asserts that Epstein was a CIA asset, alleges that President Trump is not personally implicated in Epstein-related sexual crimes, and claims Trump's reluctance to release files stems from a desire to “protect a lot of people.” He further argues that his interviews with Epstein victims and review of itineraries found no evidence of Trump being present during assaults, while drawing a sharp contrast to Bill Clinton, whom he said was present during alleged rapes.The Department of Justice swiftly pushed back, stating that Prager's role was limited to a program analyst position more than fifteen years ago and that he lacks direct knowledge of the Epstein investigations. The DOJ called his statements unreliable and criticized the release as exploitative of sexual abuse victims. Meanwhile, the recording has ignited renewed calls among critics and some Republicans for more transparency in the Epstein case and fresh scrutiny of withheld DOJ files.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Jeffrey Epstein Investigator Taped Admitting Donald Trump ‘Covered Up' Files

The CoCreate Work Podcast | Work. Culture. Personal Development.
This week, we explore why asking for help feels like admitting defeat and how this mindset keeps us isolated when we could be achieving breakthrough results through collaboration.The Big Question: Why do I treat asking for help like admitting defeat?The 4 Key Blocks:Fear of being a burden: Remember that people generally want to help, and healthy relationships require reciprocity—let others contribute to you too.Not wanting unwanted advice: Set clear context about what you need—processing time, brainstorming, validation, or specific solutions.Feeling like failure: Challenge the core belief that your value comes from figuring everything out independently. Ask yourself: Do I want to be right or successful?Concern about others' perceptions: Reframe asking for help as co-creation and inclusion. The strongest leaders collaborate and show vulnerability.Remember: Asking for help isn't defeat—it's how you create something bigger than you could build alone. You deserve support, and collaboration leads to breakthrough results.Key Takeaway: The sum is greater than the parts. Stop treating independence as strength and start treating co-creation as the path to your best work.Resources for this Episode: Uncompete by Ruchika T. MahotraHave a question for the show?

WE'RE BACK! We ended up deleting last week's episode due to some technical difficulties with the audio (Clancy sounded like she was talking from a garbage disposal lolls) but we're making up for it!!! In today's episode we chat about why we're both on the struggle bus and then hop on the “unfortunately I do like” trend that's been going around social media and share weird/embarrassing/random things we like! Love you guys!

A Note from JamesI'm really concerned about the level of discourse in this country. It's almost a cliché to say that now, but especially after the Charlie Kirk assassination, the division feels overwhelming. I even got invited to speak at the Oxford Union—the most prestigious debate society in the world—but ultimately declined because I didn't like how the whole situation was being handled.I can't stand when anyone celebrates a death. Regardless of politics, it disturbs me. And every day, my social media feed is filled with more division and hatred. So I wanted to talk with Charles Duhigg. He wrote Super Communicators (now out in paperback) about how to actually connect with people in a world that seems torn apart. Even in a short conversation, I learned so much from him—things that made me think in new ways.Episode DescriptionPulitzer Prize-winning journalist and bestselling author Charles Duhigg (Super Communicators, The Power of Habit) joins James to explore how we can talk to each other in an age of polarization. From tragic political violence to everyday disagreements with family and friends, Charles explains why humans are wired for connection, how to ask better questions, and what it takes to turn conflict into understanding.This episode is a practical guide to becoming a better communicator—especially when the stakes are high.What You'll LearnThe three types of conversations—emotional, practical, and social—and why mismatched conversations cause breakdowns.How to ask “deep questions” that uncover values and experiences, not just surface facts.Why mirroring, looping, and listening carefully make people feel truly heard.How to handle anger and cliches with curiosity instead of combat.Why disagreements don't destroy democracy—bad communication does.Timestamped Chapters[03:08] James on division, Oxford Union, and why he turned down an invitation[06:06] Why James brought Charles Duhigg on the podcast[07:00] Political violence, polarization, and clashing conversations[10:42] What made Charlie Kirk an effective communicator[12:21] Communication as connection, not just information[13:21] Do both sides have to want connection?[15:20] Congress, partisanship, and performative politics[19:36] How “deep questions” build trust and reveal values[21:10] James on why he podcasts—and Charles's analysis[23:39] Social reciprocity and feeling closer through vulnerability[24:23] History shows the value of disagreement done right[26:00] Why we reward bad behavior—and how to stop[27:09] James on gun control neutrality and frustration[29:00] Parenting lessons applied to political disagreements[30:00] “When you're furious, get curious”[31:53] Moving past cliches by asking about personal experiences[33:08] Admitting confidence levels in arguments[34:19] Is Charles optimistic about America's communication future?[34:50] A challenge for listeners: ask someone you disagree with “why does this matter to you?”[36:09] Closing thoughts: Super Communicators now in paperbackAdditional Resources
