    2026 Predictions for CEOs: The Shifts That Will Drive or Stall Growth with Gene Hammett, CEO Coach

    In this episode of Grow Think Tank, I unpack the critical shifts CEOs must anticipate as we approach 2026, with a sharp focus on clarity in leadership and organizational expectations. I share five key predictions shaping the business landscape: sustained recession-like consumer behavior, the necessity of intentional pricing strategies amid shrinkflation, a growing premium on predictability over aggressive growth, the importance of empowering leaders to eliminate decision bottlenecks, and the need to cultivate a culture rooted in trust and accountability. I also offer a pragmatic perspective on AI adoption, encouraging leaders to integrate it strategically in the service of clear business objectives rather than chasing hype. The episode concludes with practical reflection points to help leaders recalibrate their approach and drive sustainable growth in an increasingly complex environment. Episode Highlights & Time Stamps 2:14 Recession-like Behavior Persists 4:33 Pricing Increases and Shrinkflation 7:01 Predictability Over Aggressive Growth 9:13 CEO Bottleneck as a Growth Killer 14:18 Culture as a Performance System 17:56 The Good, Bad, and Ugly of AI Leadership Clarity in a Shifting Business Landscape As we approach 2026, clarity in leadership and organizational expectations will become a defining advantage for CEOs. Drawing from years of conversations with founders and executives of high-growth companies, this episode explores how even minor misalignments in leadership expectations can create outsized organizational challenges. Leaders who take ownership of clearly articulating expectations—and ensuring those expectations truly land with their teams gain leverage, alignment, and momentum. This section sets the foundation for why clarity is no longer optional, but essential for navigating increasing complexity. Five Predictions Every CEO Must Prepare For The core of the episode centers on five predictions shaping the future of business: Persistent Recession-Like Behavior: Regardless of economic labels, consumer caution is here to stay. Buying decisions are more deliberate, value-driven, and less impulsive. CEOs are encouraged to simplify offerings, build predictability, and reflect on how their organizations respond to shifting customer behavior. Intentional Pricing in the Age of Shrinkflation: As prices rise and value perceptions tighten, leaders must price with clarity and intention. Communicating value effectively builds trust and reduces friction in increasingly price-sensitive markets. Predictability Over Aggressive Growth: Stability, consistency, and dependable revenue streams will outperform volatility. CEOs are prompted to examine scalability, operational design, and whether their structures support sustainable performance. Eliminating the CEO Bottleneck: Over-centralized decision-making slows organizations down. This segment challenges leaders to identify where delegation, empowerment, and shared leadership can accelerate growth. Redefining Culture Beyond Perks: High-performing cultures are built on trust, accountability, and clear expectations not superficial benefits. Leaders are guided to redesign roles around outcomes and uphold performance standards that drive engagement. AI, Alignment, and Leading Into 2026 The episode concludes with a pragmatic look at artificial intelligence as both an opportunity and a risk. While AI can unlock efficiency and scale, rushed adoption without strategic intent often fails to deliver ROI. AI, when approached thoughtfully, becomes a leadership discipline—not just a technology initiative. Throughout this final section, CEOs are given reflection prompts to assess alignment, leadership leverage, and focus. The central takeaway is clear: leading successfully in 2026 will not require more effort, but a sharper focus. By prioritizing clarity, alignment, and empowered leadership, CEOs can drive sustainable growth and confidently navigate an evolving business environment. Key Takeaways Leading in 2026 will not require more effort it will require a shift in focus. By prioritizing clarity, alignment, predictability, and leadership leverage, CEOs can position their organizations for sustainable growth and confidently navigate what lies ahead.

    Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning
    Sleep, Learning and the Brain: Why Performance Collapses Without Rest PART 3 with Dr. Shane Creado

    Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning

    In this Season 14 review (Part 3) Andrea revisits key insights from Dr. Shane Creado on the critical link between sleep, concussions and performance. The episode explains how even mild or repeated head impacts and sleep deprivation damage the same brain regions that support learning, memory, decision-making and emotional regulation, and how one all‑nighter can reduce hippocampal learning capacity by around 40%. Practical takeaways include treating sleep as neurological recovery (7–9 hours), protecting the brain after head jolts, avoiding late alcohol and screens, and prioritizing consistent sleep routines to restore learning, resilience and long‑term brain health for athletes, students and professionals. Welcome back to SEASON 14 of The Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning Podcast, where we connect the science-based evidence behind social and emotional learning and emotional intelligence training for improved well-being, achievement, productivity and results—using what I saw as the missing link (since we weren't taught this when we were growing up in school), the application of practical neuroscience. I'm Andrea Samadi, and seven years ago, launched this podcast with a question I had never truly asked myself before: (and that is) If productivity and results matter to us—and they do now more than ever—how exactly are we using our brain to make them happen? Most of us were never taught how to apply neuroscience to improve productivity, results, or well-being. About a decade ago, I became fascinated by the mind-brain-results connection—and how science can be applied to our everyday lives. That's why I've made it my mission to bring you the world's top experts—so together, we can explore the intersection of science and social-emotional learning. We'll break down complex ideas and turn them into practical strategies we can use every day for predictable, science-backed results. As we are nearing the end of Season 14 here, it has been about reflection as we have looked back and reviewed past interviews. Our goal has not been about nostalgia, or remembering these interviews, the goal has been about integrating what we have learned. Taking what we know, aligning it with how the brain actually functions, and applying it consistently enough to change outcomes. And if there's one thing this season has reinforced, it's this: Sustainable success isn't built on intensity or focus alone—it's built on alignment. As we move into what's next, (Season 15) the focus shifts from understanding this alignment to bringing this alignment into a tangible, physical form, or embodiment. Not more information—but better execution. After hundreds of conversations with neuroscientists, educators, peak performers, and thought leaders, one truth keeps resurfacing— lasting success is never about doing more. It's about alignment. Alignment between how the brain actually works, how emotions drive behavior, and how daily habits compound over time. Season 14 has been about stepping back—not to reminisce, but to integrate what we have learned into our current life. I knew the minute that I was sent a couple of video clips from our past episodes, that I had forgotten about, that while I thought I had implemented the ideas from our past guests, I had some work to go myself. For this reason, we spent Season 14 and will resume with Season 15 next January, reviewing past episodes, with the goal of noticing what we have now aligned, that's bringing us results in our daily life. Core Reflection When we started this podcast 7 years ago, the goal was simple: bridge neuroscience research with practical strategies people could actually use. What I didn't fully appreciate then—what only became clear through repetition, reflection, and real-life application—is that information alone doesn't create change. Understanding the brain doesn't matter if we ignore what to do with the information we release each week: improving our sleep reducing our stress practicing emotional regulation with consistency that actually changes who we are at the core: our identity Season 14 has been about connecting those dots. Listening again to conversations with voices like Dr. John Medina, Dawson Church, Bob Proctor, Dr. John Ratey, Friederike Fabritius, and so many others, one pattern became impossible to ignore: The brain thrives on simplicity, repetition, and finding emotional safety to implement these concepts—not intensity or a quick fix. We will take the time with each interview review to offer ways for all of us to implement the lessons learned, so that when we finish 2026, we will be able to look back, and see where our changes all began. This week, we move onto PART 3 of our review of EP 72[i] with Shane Creado, MD and his book Peak Sleep Performance for Athletes recorded back in July of 2020. ✔ In PART 1[ii], we covered: How strategic napping, morning brain habits, and even the Silva Method all work together to reset your brain, boost performance, and transform your health from the inside out. ✔ In PART 2[iii] we continued with our review, diving a bit deeper into sleep deprivation and its impact of performance (whether you are an athlete, or just someone looking to improve productivity). ✔ PART 3, we will go a bit deeper into the impacts of concussions and brain injuries on our sleep and performance. Let's go back to 2020 and revisit what Dr. Creado had to say about sleep in this last episode of this season.   VIDEO 1 – Click Here to Watch   In the first clip of this episode, with Dr. Creado, he dives into the connection with concussions and sleep. He says, “Most people who have had a concussion end up with sleep problems. It makes a lot of sense when you think about the brain and how it regulates sleep and wakeful cycles and then it gets jarred. But what people don't realize is that even a mild head injury can really damage your brain. Even if you're not officially diagnosed with a concussion, you don't have to lose consciousness to have a concussion. You don't even need to have any symptoms to have your brain injured in some way. And then the little injuries along the way add up over time. So the brain is as soft as butter and in a hard, bony skull. Anything that jars it, even whiplash can cause your brain to be injured. And it accumulates over time. What's interesting is that the same regions of the brain that are most damaged in head injuries are also damaged in sleep deprivation and also alcohol use. The frontal lobes, the temporal lobes and the parietal lobes at the top of the brain.”

    In this powerful episode of The Alpha Male Coach Podcast, Kevin takes you deep into the core confusion of the human condition: the hallucination of separation. Broadcasting from the Yucatán, Kevin explores why your consciousness feels different depending on your environment, why “I” is the most misunderstood word in the human language, and how the illusion of being a separate ego is the root of all suffering.Kevin opens by distinguishing monism - the experiential recognition that all is one - from the far more common dualistic worldview most humans live in without question. He breaks down how the ego creates a false center of identity, a shadow-self imagined as a commander behind the eyes, and how this hallucination leads to fear, conflict, resistance, and misalignment across every dimension of life.Drawing on wisdom from Alan Watts, spiritual psychology, and his own Alpha philosophy, Kevin reframes humanity's relationship to nature, purpose, money, and each other. You are not an isolated observer placed “into” the world, he argues - you emerged from the world, just like an apple emerges from an apple tree. You are not a stranger in an indifferent universe; you are the universe becoming aware of itself.This episode explores:Why the ego believes “I am in here and the world is out there,” and why this premise is falseHow the belief in separation leads to fear, anxiety, loneliness, and conflictWhat monism reveals about your relationship to nature, your purpose, your emotions, and other humansWhy artificial intelligence is not consciousness, not intelligence, and never will beHow your environment is an extension of your body, not something separate from youHow shifting from dualism to unity transforms your thoughts, emotions, actions, and results through the Model of AlignmentKevin also offers practical embodiment tools to dissolve the hallucination of separation, including active meditation, breath practices, body-based inquiry, and applying the Model of Alignment to reveal whether your identity is operating from ego or from Alpha unity consciousness.Ultimately, this is an episode about awakening - about remembering your true nature as the field of consciousness expressing itself temporarily as a human being. The end of suffering doesn't come from controlling life, resisting emotion, or conquering the world. It comes from recognizing that I and life are not two things. When separation dissolves, fear dissolves with it. What remains is flow, power, presence, and freedom - the Alpha state.Brother, you are not separate from nature, from God, from humanity, or from your purpose. You are the expression of the infinite in human form.

    What if Forrest Gump taught a six-year-old how to never worry about money again? In this episode, Jerremy Newsome shares how watching Forrest Gump at age six sparked a question that changed everything: "What does it mean to not have to worry about money?" That question led him to pick blackberries door-to-door, earning $1,500 that his dad matched to buy $3,000 worth of Apple stock in 1995. While those shares would be worth $39 million today, Jerremy sold them in 2000 for $12,000. That early win, and the lesson from selling too soon, ignited a 20-year journey mastering liquid markets. Now Jerremy helps people understand stocks, options, crypto, and other "liquid markets" using what he calls "second grade math" to achieve financial freedom. He shares the story of Jordan, a police officer making $80,000 a year who recently made more in one month trading than his entire monthly salary. But Jerremy's impact goes beyond teaching trading. When he stood up at a Vail event and matched $40,000 in donations for blind and special needs children learning to ski, he didn't just change those kids' lives. He turned a skeptic named Preston Brown into a lifelong friend and business ally. Jerremy reveals how meeting his wife at a Tony Robbins event, connecting with business partner Brittany Turner through Instagram, and operating from abundance instead of scarcity has created a life where impact matters more than income.   [00:04:00] The Forrest Gump Moment That Changed Everything At age six, watching Forrest Gump with his dad and brother when Lieutenant Dan "invested in some kind of fruit company" Growing up poor, hearing someone didn't have to worry about money was a huge paradigm shift Asked his dad what investing meant, learned about Apple as a computer company Dad gave every excuse: "I don't have time, I'm not smart enough, I don't have enough money" [00:05:20] Picking Blackberries to Buy Apple Stock Dad said "If you bring me some money, I'll match it dollar for dollar" Jerremy's favorite quote: "It's not your resources, it's your resourcefulness" Picked blackberries, sold them door-to-door for a dollar a bag in summer 1995 Made $1,500, dad borrowed from uncle to match, bought $3,000 of Apple at exact bottom [00:06:00] The $39 Million Lesson Those shares today worth about $39 million Sold them in 2000 for $12,000 when family moved from Georgia to

    It is FORE Friday, folks! The weekend is on the tee, the fairways are calling, and we are here to get your mind right before you take that first swing on Saturday morning.I'm your host, Daniel Guest, and today we are talking about a tragedy I see on the driving range every single week. It's the tragedy of hard work... applied to the wrong problem.If you've ever practiced for three hours, hit 200 balls, and walked away hitting it worse than when you started... this episode is for you. Let's tee it up."The Trap: The Whac-A-Mole GameHost: "So, here is the scenario. You played last weekend, and you were slicing the ball off the planet. You go home, you open up YouTube, and you search 'How to stop a slice.'You find a great tip. The pro says, 'You're coming over the top, so you need to drop your hands inside.' You go to the range, you grind on dropping your hands inside, and suddenly... you start hooking it into the parking lot. Or worse, you start shanking it.Why? Because you were trying to fix a symptom, not the cause."Host: "In golf instruction, many call this 'Whac-A-Mole.'You see the club face is open? You try to flip your hands to close it.You see a 'chicken wing' left arm? You try to glue your elbow to your ribs.But here is the hard truth: 90% of what you feel and see in your swing is a reaction, not an action."Key Takeaway: Your body is smart. It is constantly compensating. If you try to fix the compensation (the symptom) without fixing the root cause, your body will just invent a new compensation that is usually worse.The Concept: The Big DominoHost: "So, how do we stop wasting time? We have to find the Big Domino.I want you to imagine a row of dominos.Domino 1 is your Grip.Domino 2 is your Setup.Domino 3 is your Takeaway.Domino 10 is that ugly Chicken Wing at impact.If you spend all your time trying to fix Domino 10 (the chicken wing), you are fighting a losing battle, because Dominos 1 through 9 have already fallen over and pushed it there.You have to work on the earliest fault in the chain."Host: "Let me give you a real-world example. I had a student recently who was desperate to fix his 'over-the-top' move. He had been trying to swing out to the right for months.I looked at his swing. His grip was incredibly weak (turned too far left). Because his grip was weak, the clubface was open. Because the face was open, his brain knew that if he swung from the inside, he'd hit it 50 yards right. So, his brain forced him to come over the top just to pull the ball back into the fairway.The 'over-the-top' move wasn't the fault. It was the only thing saving him!We fixed the grip (The Big Domino). Suddenly, the face was square. His brain said, 'Okay, I don't need to pull this anymore,' and his swing path straightened out naturally. We fixed the grip, and the swing path fixed itself."The Action Plan for the WeekendHost: "So, for this FORE Friday, here is my challenge to you. I want you to stop guessing.If you are heading to the range this weekend, do not just start trying random tips you saw on Instagram. 1. Record your swing. You cannot fix what you cannot see. 2. Look at the setup first. Grip, Alignment, Stance, Posture. This is usually where the 'Big Domino' lives. 3. Verify, don't guess. If you think your problem is your downswing, prove it. But I'd bet you a sleeve of Pro V1s that the problem actually started in your takeaway."Host: "And if you can't find the fault? Ask for help. That is what we are here for at Imagen Golf. Stop being the hero who tries to perform surgery on themselves. Let a doctor look at the MRI."Host: "Golf is hard enough without working on the wrong things. Be efficient with your practice. Find the root cause, knock down that first domino, and watch the rest of your swing fall into place.Have a fantastic weekend, hit 'em straight, and as always... here's to playing the game you've always imagined.See you next week!"

    DeepMind Gemini 3 Lead: What Comes After "Infinite Data"

    Gemini 3 was a landmark frontier model launch in AI this year — but the story behind its performance isn't just about adding more compute. In this episode, I sit down with Sebastian Bourgeaud, a pre-training lead for Gemini 3 at Google DeepMind and co-author of the seminal RETRO paper. In his first-ever podcast interview, Sebastian takes us inside the lab mindset behind Google's most powerful model — what actually changed, and why the real work today is no longer “training a model,” but building a full system.We unpack the “secret recipe” idea — the notion that big leaps come from better pre-training and better post-training — and use it to explore a deeper shift in the industry: moving from an “infinite data” era to a data-limited regime, where curation, proxies, and measurement matter as much as web-scale volume. Sebastian explains why scaling laws aren't dead, but evolving, why evals have become one of the hardest and most underrated problems (including benchmark contamination), and why frontier research is increasingly a full-stack discipline that spans data, infrastructure, and engineering as much as algorithms.From the intuition behind Deep Think, to the rise (and risks) of synthetic data loops, to the future of long-context and retrieval, this is a technical deep dive into the physics of frontier AI. We also get into continual learning — what it would take for models to keep updating with new knowledge over time, whether via tools, expanding context, or new training paradigms — and what that implies for where foundation models are headed next. If you want a grounded view of pre-training in late 2025 beyond the marketing layer, this conversation is a blueprint.Google DeepMindWebsite - https://deepmind.googleX/Twitter - https://x.com/GoogleDeepMindSebastian BorgeaudLinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/sebastian-borgeaud-8648a5aa/X/Twitter - https://x.com/borgeaud_sFIRSTMARKWebsite - https://firstmark.comX/Twitter - https://twitter.com/FirstMarkCapMatt Turck (Managing Director)Blog - https://mattturck.comLinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/turck/X/Twitter - https://twitter.com/mattturck(00:00) – Cold intro: “We're ahead of schedule” + AI is now a system(00:58) – Oriol's “secret recipe”: better pre- + post-training(02:09) – Why AI progress still isn't slowing down(03:04) – Are models actually getting smarter?(04:36) – Two–three years out: what changes first?(06:34) – AI doing AI research: faster, not automated(07:45) – Frontier labs: same playbook or different bets?(10:19) – Post-transformers: will a disruption happen?(10:51) – DeepMind's advantage: research × engineering × infra(12:26) – What a Gemini 3 pre-training lead actually does(13:59) – From Europe to Cambridge to DeepMind(18:06) – Why he left RL for real-world data(20:05) – From Gopher to Chinchilla to RETRO (and why it matters)(20:28) – “Research taste”: integrate or slow everyone down(23:00) – Fixes vs moonshots: how they balance the pipeline(24:37) – Research vs product pressure (and org structure)(26:24) – Gemini 3 under the hood: MoE in plain English(28:30) – Native multimodality: the hidden costs(30:03) – Scaling laws aren't dead (but scale isn't everything)(33:07) – Synthetic data: powerful, dangerous(35:00) – Reasoning traces: what he can't say (and why)(37:18) – Long context + attention: what's next(38:40) – Retrieval vs RAG vs long context(41:49) – The real boss fight: evals (and contamination)(42:28) – Alignment: pre-training vs post-training(43:32) – Deep Think + agents + “vibe coding”(46:34) – Continual learning: updating models over time(49:35) – Advice for researchers + founders(53:35) – “No end in sight” for progress + closing

    This episode is taken from a previous livestream where Dr. Asanee explored the full landscape of Egbe Orun, the celestial companions a person lived among before entering Earth. The discussion covers what Egbe Orun are, how they function as a heavenly society, and why some individuals feel a stronger pull toward their celestial peer group.We walk through the major signs of Egbe influence, including dream encounters, relationship patterns, identity conflict, emotional withdrawal, repeating setbacks, childhood issues, and disruptions that intensify without a clear cause. The episode also explains the difference between Egbe, ancestors, Orisha, and Western concepts of “spirit guides,” as well as the connection between Egbe and Ori alignment.Listeners will also learn about offerings, rituals, initiation, what happens when Egbe requests go unanswered, and the conditions under which Egbe may influence early departure from Earth. This is a deep, foundational overview for anyone experiencing unusual dream activity or repeating life patterns that seem to defy logic.

    Why Great Leaders Stop Proving and Start Leading w/ Carrie Moore

    Reflect Forward

    Play Episode Listen Later Dec 16, 2025 34:11


    Why great leaders stop proving and start leading is the real conversation most leadership content avoids. Proving feels productive, but it quietly erodes trust, blocks collective intelligence, and keeps leaders trapped in fear-driven patterns. In this episode of Reflect Forward, I sit down with Carrie Moore, CEO and founder of Titan Edge Advisory, to explore what happens when leaders shift out of ego and into alignment, and why that shift changes how teams perform and cultures scale. Carrie brings more than twenty years of experience across capital markets, corporate banking, and financial services. She is a Forbes Council recognized strategist and has spent the last nine years advising fast moving companies and founders navigating growth and complexity. The Hidden Cost of Proving At the heart of this conversation is a truth many leaders miss. When fear and unworthiness drive behavior, leaders slip into proving, defending, and explaining. This erodes psychological safety and limits collective intelligence, even when intentions are good. Great leadership begins with self-awareness and accountability, not control. When Challenges Become Leverage Carrie shares how growing up dyslexic shaped her leadership, turning early fear into adaptability and resilience. I share why my own rock bottom became a turning point rather than a regret. The hardest experiences often become the source of our greatest leadership strength. The Alignment Advantage Alignment starts with the leader. The only relationship you can give to anyone else is the relationship you have with yourself. When identity, purpose, and behavior are aligned, clarity increases, trust deepens, and performance follows. Leadership In the Age of AI Rather than fearing AI, this episode reframes it as an extension of human capability. The future belongs to leaders who can simplify complexity, lead with purpose, and stay grounded in what makes us human. Mic Drop Moments 1. Proving erodes trust faster than most leaders realize. 2. Fear does not need to disappear, but it should not lead. 3. Authenticity is a leadership advantage, not a vulnerability. Key Takeaways 1. Notice when you are leading from fear rather than alignment. 2. Your past challenges are leadership training, not liabilities. 3. Alignment at the top shapes everything below it.

    In this episode, I break down a thwarted New Year's Eve bombing plot in Los Angeles and expose how the political right, the DOJ, the FBI, and conservative media immediately misidentified the threat. Once again, the narrative collapsed into lazy clickbait framing rather than ideological analysis.The group involved, the Turtle Island Liberation Front, was universally described by conservative outlets as a “pro-Palestinian extremist organization.” That framing is wrong. Worse, it misses the actual threat entirely.This episode explains what Turtle Island actually means, why the group openly self-identifies as Antifa, and how land-back ideology, anti-capitalism, and revolutionary communism form the real core of the movement.What the Right Got WrongThe right fixated on Palestine because it fits a pre-approved outrage narrative. Influencers, media figures, and even federal officials ignored the group's own statements, branding, and ideology in favor of tying the plot to Muslims, Israel, and foreign terrorism.That framing is inaccurate and dangerous.Turtle Island is not Palestine. It is a decolonized name for North America used in indigenous and far-left revolutionary circles. The group's messaging is explicit. They describe themselves as Antifa. They call for the overthrow of the United States. They promote anti-capitalism, land-back politics, and revolutionary dismantling of American governance.This was not subtle. The group posted it publicly.What Turtle Island Liberation Front Actually IsThis episode walks through the group's own social media, statements, and videos, which openly call for:* Death to America as a political system* Abolition of capitalism and private property* Revolutionary decolonization of North America* Replacement of the U.S. government with tribal or collective control* Alignment with Antifa and communist revolutionary movementsPalestine appears in their messaging for one reason only. It serves as a symbolic example of settler colonialism under capitalism. The same framework is applied to the United States.Palestine is a talking point. America is the target.Why This Keeps HappeningThe right does not fail to understand the far left because of lack of information. It fails because it has no incentive to understand it.Accurate analysis does not go viral. Clickbait does.So instead of confronting an openly self-declared Antifa group calling for violent revolutionary change, conservative media reframed the story into anti-Muslim hysteria, Israel discourse, and foreign terror narratives that distract from the domestic ideological reality.The result is a national security blind spot that repeats every time.The Bottom LineThis was an Antifa communist revolutionary group plotting domestic terror. They said so themselves. They documented it. They branded it.And once again, the right ignored the giant flashing sign directly in front of them.If you do not understand your enemy, you cannot defeat them. This episode shows, in real time, that the right has chosen narratives over reality, and clicks over competence.Decode The Left with Karlyn Borysenko is a reader-supported publication.
