Podcasts about Ambition

Text us your questions!Is the drive to be better than others making us worse? We talk with theologian Miroslav Volf about his book The Cost of Ambition and explore why comparison-based striving saturates our schools, churches, workplaces, and politics. Volf separates healthy aspiration from superiority-seeking and makes a compelling case for excellence without domination, rooted in agape, i.e., unconditional love that affirms people beyond performance.We dig into the Christ hymn of Philippians 2 and why self-emptying is not weakness but a different kind of strength. Volf shows how resurrection and ascension empower humility rather than feed triumphalism and why honoring everyone is both a spiritual discipline and a democratic necessity. From the academy's “one-up” culture to the marketplace's imitation traps, he argues that obsessing over competitors blinds us to our unique gifts and corrodes joy. Even stalwart capitalists like Warren Buffett warn against competitor-fixation. Volf adds a deeper moral and theological critique as well, drawing on Paul's piercing question: What do you have that you did not receive?We also test his claims against Nietzsche's will to power, happiness research on social comparison, and the rise of Christian nationalism. Is Christ a moral stranger to our priorities? Volf challenges both sides of the aisle to recover mere humanity—Kierkegaard's vision of belovedness before achievement—and to practice agape toward others and ourselves. The result is a bracing, hopeful vision: strive for truth, craft, and contribution, not for status; pursue excellence as stewardship, not self-exaltation.If you're weary of the status treadmill yet still hungry to do meaningful work, this conversation will give you categories, language, and practices to recalibrate your aims.

In this week's episode, I'm chatting with Alejandra Rojas, entrepreneur, Forbes contributor, and founder of Brown Way to Money, a financial mentoring platform that helps women overcome financial trauma and improve their relationship with money. Alejandra's story is such a powerful reminder that financial freedom isn't just about numbers, it's about emotional healing, self-awareness, and redefining success on your own terms.

Chaque jour, en moins de 10 minutes, un résumé de l'actualité du jour. Rapide, facile, accessible.

Dans cet épisode, je reçois Carole Tolila. Carole, c'est un sourire que l'on reconnaît instantanément.  Pourtant, petite fille elle était timide et dyslexique et à mis du temps à parler. Journaliste, animatrice et autrice, elle incarne depuis plus de quinze ans une télévision bienveillante, curieuse et joyeuse. On la retrouve sur France 2 dans Télématin ou à la coanimation de Silence, ça pousse !, mais aussi dans ses projets plus personnels, comme les Pyjamas Thérapie, ces rendez-vous du jeudi soir sur Instagram où elle partage sans filtre et sans fard, ou encore ses magnifiques livres Flowers et Fruits, véritables odes à la nature et à la créativité. Mais derrière cette énergie solaire et communicative se trouve une femme qui s'est construite en se questionnant régulièrement sur elle même d'abord, sur les liens avec les autres femmes notamment au travers des amitiés solides qu'elle a noué, sur la manière de naviguer dans un univers télévisuel parfois rude, et des questionnements intimes sur la maternité, le corps et le cap des 40 ans dans un métier d'image. Dans cette conversation, Carole revient sur son parcours, ses débuts dans les médias, ses doutes et ses moteurs. Elle nous parle de sa famille qu'elle a construite avec Thomas, de ses épreuves liées aux interruptions de grossesse qu'elle a subit, de son rapport à l'image et de cette ambition douce qu'elle cultive?. Un échange lumineux, sincère et ancré dans le réel, avec une femme qui a choisi de transformer chaque expérience, belle ou difficile, en occasion d'apprendre, de partager et de sourire encore pour vivre plus fort. Bonne écoute

We are excited to welcome clinical psychologist and USA Today bestselling author, Dr. Chloe Carmichael, today.  Chloe wrote Nervous Energy: Harness the Power of Your Anxiety, which Deepak Chopra endorsed. Her latest book, Can I Say That? Why Free Speech Matters and How to Use It Fearlessly prompted Eric to reach out to her. That book received recommendations from Dr. Phil McGraw, Dr. Drew Pinsky, Patrick Bet-David, and various other thought leaders. She joins us to explore mental health, the importance of free speech, and what goes on within corporate organizations. Chloe's Journey Dr. Chloe Carmichael built her career as a clinical psychologist, author, and speaker, blending academic insight with real-world experience. She holds a Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology and has a private practice in New York City. Her background as a yoga teacher and her fascination with mindfulness shaped her approach to emotional regulation and performance, and she has worked extensively with high-achieving professionals. Over time, her work has evolved from traditional therapy into coaching, corporate consulting, and thought leadership, bridging the gap between psychology and practical success strategies. Productive Anxiety Chloe explains that anxiety, when understood and managed, can be a powerful motivational tool because the physiological arousal associated with anxiety is similar to the energy needed for preparation and action. Productive anxiety becomes maladaptive only when paired with avoidance or self-criticism. Instead of suppressing it, people can use that energy to plan, anticipate, and perform better. Recognizing that anxiety is a natural human function helps people shift from fear-based reactions to constructive responses. High Achievers and Self-Regulation When anxiety gets reframed as preparation rather than panic, it becomes an ally in achieving excellence. High performers often experience elevated anxiety because they set ambitious goals and carry heavy responsibilities. The challenge is not to eliminate anxiety but to regulate it. Practices such as self-awareness, structured planning, and mindfulness help individuals to harness their natural drive without burning out.  Emotional Awareness Tuning into emotional cues can offer valuable feedback rather than distractions. Emotions signal what matters most, and ignoring them can lead to misalignment or poor decisions. Identifying the underlying messages (fear of failure, desire for growth, or need for control) allows people to channel those feelings into intentional actions rather than reactive ones. Boundaries and Self-Validation Boundaries are essential, especially for those who seek their validation externally. Many high achievers rely on the approval of others, which can increase anxiety when feedback is inconsistent or negative. Chloe encourages the development of self-validation skills and acknowledging one's own efforts and internal standards. Setting emotional and time boundaries helps maintain focus, energy, and confidence, even in competitive environments. Practical Tools for Managing Anxiety Chloe offers practical strategies for turning anxiety into productive energy. She recommends setting clear, achievable goals and using visualization to stay focused on positive outcomes. Scheduling dedicated worry time helps contain overthinking, while separating problem-solving from emotional processing prevents downward spiraling. Reframing self-talk from "what if I fail?" to "how can I prepare?" will turn fear into action and build confidence. Mindfulness and Grounding Techniques Mindfulness is essential for calming the nervous system and being grounded. Deep breathing, guided meditation, and journaling slow the mind and create distance from anxious thoughts. Chloe points out that mindfulness does not eliminate anxiety. It helps the mind engage with it objectively, cultivating emotional resilience and better decision-making. Leadership and Psychological Safety Chloe highlights the importance of creating environments where people feel psychologically safe to express their ideas and concerns. Leaders who model calm, reflective behavior encourage teams to think critically rather than reacting emotionally. Leaders will also benefit from acknowledging their own anxieties, as that normalizes stress and builds trust within teams. Balancing Ambition and Well-being Ambition and mental health are not necessarily mutually exclusive. Sustainable success requires the balancing of drive with recovery. High performers should schedule rest, physical movement, and meaningful personal time to prevent chronic stress.  Integrating Psychology into Everyday Life Chloe views psychology as a proactive skill set that helps people live with intention rather than reaction. She encourages listeners to use psychological tools in everyday life, not just in therapy or moments of crisis. Emotional tracking, mindfulness, and self-compassion can strengthen relationships, sharpen leadership, and boost creativity.

Dans un monde où tout va trop vite, où chaque minute doit être rentabilisée, le droit au repos semble presque subversif. Pourtant, se reposer n'est pas une faiblesse : c'est un acte de leadership. Dans cet épisode du podcast Sensées, nous explorons pourquoi et comment ralentir devient aujourd'hui un levier essentiel pour le bien-être au travail, la santé mentale et la performance durable des femmes leaders.À travers des exemples concrets et une réflexion puissante, Jenny Chammas, mastercoach certifiée, vous montre que le droit au repos n'est pas une récompense accordée “quand tout est fini”, mais une condition nécessaire à votre équilibre et à votre impact. Car sans repos, la fatigue mentale s'installe, la clarté s'érode et le risque d'épuisement professionnel augmente.Ce que vous saurez faire après écoute :– Identifier les six raisons invisibles qui vous empêchent de vraiment vous reposer.– Reconnaître les signaux physiques et émotionnels de la fatigue mentale avant qu'ils ne s'aggravent.– Apprendre à ralentir sans culpabilité pour préserver votre énergie.– Redéfinir la réussite en intégrant le bien-être au travail comme pilier de votre leadership.– Mettre en place des micro-actions simples pour prendre soin de vous au quotidien.Dans un environnement où la performance est souvent confondue avec la productivité, cet épisode vous invite à revisiter vos croyances sur le repos et à poser un regard neuf sur votre rapport à l'action. Le droit au repos est un acte de puissance : il vous reconnecte à votre corps, à vos limites et à ce qui compte vraiment. Il vous permet de prendre soin de vous tout en nourrissant votre ambition de manière durable.Écoutez l'épisode et (re)découvrez la force du repos : celle qui nourrit votre lucidité, votre créativité et votre impact.

Seven months on, she's a two-time WTA title winner, ranked 32nd and was the first player selected to lead the Culture Amp Australian Billie Jean King Cup team into action for this week's Play-offs in Hobart. Joint's return to The Sit-Down gave us a chance to chat to the teenager about just how far she's come, and the fact she's put herself in contention for a Grand Slam seeding in 2026. Now living in Melbourne, Joint joined Jackson Mansell in Pod Laver Arena to discuss her most recent career highlights, how she's adjusting to the brighter glare of the spotlight, her thoughts on representing Australia, plus what she's doing off court to celebrate her successes and maintain work-life balance.Listen to the full episode with Maya Joint here.

"OKRs are really a feedback mechanism… it's a two-way street rather than a command-and-control mechanism.”Allan Kelly Top Five Tips For Working With Objectives and Key Results 1. Feedback mechanism: OKRs are a feedback mechanism rather than a order giving mechanism2. Involve as many people as possible in setting OKRs3. OKRs are not a to-do list, they describe a desired outcome4. Decide where Business as Usual fits in5.

Home to Allan and his company, Software Strategy Ltd. Let him take up the story:Once upon a time I was a programmer, people I worked with thought I was quite a good one. I was part of a team building a hand-held PC, which was a big deal in 1991. I worked on electricity modelling, I wrote programs for railway timetables, software for banks and real-time data feeds for Reuters. I built secure e-mail systems and mobile phone network diagnostic tools.The code was not the problem, the problem was the way the team was set up, the problem was the way we were asked to work, or the way work reached us. To fix that problem I needed to become a manager… but I didn't want to be a foolish manager like all the ones I'd worked for before, so I got myself a management qualification. And while I was getting that qualification, I discovered that modern management thinking was very close to the then newly emerging field of “agile software development.” When I look back at my experiences so much of the good times matched the thing, we call agile.I still love software, I love coding, but I don't code any more. (Actually, I do code a little, for love.) I devote my time to helping make software better. In my mind when I'm teaching, advising, coaching, consulting I'm helping the person I used to be. When I see programmers at work I see my younger self. And I want them to do a great job, I want them to be able to do a better job than I ever did.Today I call myself an Agile Guide – I guide people and organizations to greater agility. I provide coaching and direct advice on agile working to leaders and teams creating digital products (software!). The companies I work with come from many fields as different as healthcare and surveying. However, they all depend on software to deliver for their customers. Without software they are nothing. Yesterday… I started coding in 1982 on a Sinclair ZX81. By 1986 I was earning money as a regular contributor to BBC Telesoftware – PDP, PDR, Eclipse, Fonts, Demon's Tomb, EMACS (no, not that emacs), Snapshot and Femcoms to name a few, mostly in 6502 assembler. In 1989 I was a system administrator with Nixdorf Computer. In 1991 I was a software tester at DIP in Guildford building the Sharp PC-3000. Even as an undergraduate I was hired by the University to help teach other undergraduates and occasionally post-graduates.

In this episode of Passion for Dance, Dr. Chelsea talks about self-compassion in dancers who are usually very hard on themselves. Inspired by a listener's question, the episode explores how treating oneself with kindness can improve performance, enhance resilience, and bolster overall mental health. Dr. Chelsea breaks down the concept of self-compassion into three key areas: self-kindness, mindfulness, and common humanity. She offers actionable strategies like reflective journaling, mindfulness, and visualization to help dancers develop this crucial skill. The episode emphasizes that self-compassion doesn't mean lowering standards but rather supporting oneself through challenges to foster continuous growth and motivation. Coaches and dance educators are also given tips on how to model and integrate self-compassion into their feedback.   Episode Resources: https://passionfordancepodcast.com/228   Got an Episode Idea?!

Key Takeaways:Goals are meant to guide, not judge. When they serve as a compass instead of a scorecard, they inspire growth and unity instead of strain or shame. Progress becomes something to celebrate, not a verdict on worth.Nonprofit leaders often walk the line between big dreams and achievable results. Rigid focus on financial targets can create tension and burnout, but realistic goals rooted in purpose help teams stay motivated and grounded.True success goes beyond numbers. Relationships, learning, and consistent effort shape sustainable impact. By valuing process over perfection, organizations can find meaning in every outcome—good or bad.Lasting results come from people, not pressure. Relationship-building should be prioritized over transactions, with gratitude and reflection fueling resilience, renewal, and authentic growth for the long run. “Goals should stretch us, not strain us. They should unite, connect us, not divide us, and they should inspire us to grow, not shame us for being human.” “What if we saw goals as a compass instead of a scorecard? It gives us direction, but it doesn't judge us.” “The growth comes from the receptivity of all of it: what worked and what didn't, because everything was progress, everything was a lesson, everything was information.” - Maryanne Dersch   Let's Work Together to Amplify Your Leadership + Influence1.

Turkey is eager to capitalize on its role in the Gaza ceasefire, and is now looking to have an active presence - even with troops on the ground - in a post-war Gaza. It seems President Trump also sees a role for Turkey here, something that is alarming Israel. Henri Barkey, an adjunct senior fellow for Middle East studies at the Council on Foreign Relations and the Cohen chair in international relations at Lehigh University, joins Thanos Davelis to take a closer look at this story, breaking down what it means for Washington and the region.You can read the articles we discuss on our podcast here:Trump sees central role for Turkey in Gaza peace, but Israel is crying foulGreece scrambles to secure farm fundsWater overuse has led Cyprus to shortages

This week Reid and Aria break down the global AI race from Nvidia's $5 trillion valuation and the U.S.–China chip rivalry to what happens when AI starts reshaping industries like medicine. Reid explains why the future of innovation depends on how we deploy AI, not just how we build it, and why doctors, scientists, and creators will need to redefine their expertise in a world of intelligent tools. Later in the episode, Reid responds to new calls to “pause” AI development and shares why he believes safety and progress must advance together. The conversation ends with a look at the future of healthcare and why, in Reid's view, AI won't replace doctors, but doctors who use AI will replace those who don't.

High Rise Beverage co-founder Matt Skinner has built a coastal-themed brand in the Southeast but his ambitions extend across the nation.    The Charleston, South Carolina-headquartered intoxicating hemp beverage brand is now available in 22 states, and Skinner sees an opportunity to go even bigger.   "We're in the space of being a nationwide brand at this point," he says on the latest edition of the Brewbound Podcast, recorded in October at the National Beer Wholesalers Association's Annual Convention in Las Vegas.    "Having those partnerships and getting in with the right distributors now is important. They're finding who they feel like their horses are in the category, and I think we are aligning across the country with that. But the Southeast is very important to us."     Skinner shares his strategy of building the brand in bars and restaurants and why his pitch to those retailers was bigger than his brand. He also explains how High Rise came to be partners with Sony Music in Nashville, which flavors are resonating with consumers and why Target's adoption of intoxicating hemp products "puts all eyes on the category."   Before the interview, Justin and Zoe discuss the latest news, such as New Belgium's packed new product slate for 2026, including new Voodoo Ranger IPAs and a canned cocktail offshoot, as well as Molson Coors' tough Q3 earnings report.

My guest today is Luca Ferrari. Luca is the co-founder and CEO of Bending Spoons, which he describes as 25 percent private equity and 75 percent technology company. Founded in 2013, Bending Spoons fully acquires and operates digital companies like Evernote, Meetup, Vimeo, and most recently AOL.  Our conversation explores the unique model behind Bending Spoons, and the culture required to scale it. Luca shares exactly how their acquisition playbook works – from identifying promising businesses to rebuilding every part of them across product, design, monetization, and marketing. We discuss their approach to financing long-term ownership through both debt and equity, Luca's obsession with finding and developing exceptional talent, and his decision to build the company in Europe.  I found Luca's description of himself as perennially unhappy to be the clearest window into how he builds. It's a mindset that fuels his pursuit of excellence and defines the culture at Bending Spoons. Please enjoy my conversation with Luca Ferrari.

In this episode, Amanda Goetz sits down with Eve Rodsky—the New York Times bestselling author of Fair Play and Find Your Unicorn Space—to unpack one of the most important (and under-discussed) topics for ambitious women today: the invisible labor that keeps households running and the systems needed to make ambition sustainable. In a world where the lines between home, work, and personal ambition are constantly blurred, understanding the dynamics of domestic labor has never been more vital. Eve gets real about:

Stay Curious, Stay Strong: Longevity Lessons from a DC Clinic Tour In this episode, Doc Danny Matta shares powerful lessons on longevity, curiosity, and self-care after visiting four PT-owned clinics in Washington, D.C. From a 60-year-old Pilates enthusiast who crushed him in class to a marathoner aiming to beat his 27-year-old PR, Danny reflects on what these experiences revealed about health, purpose, and the long game of entrepreneurship. Quick Ask If this episode hits home, share it with a friend who's burning the candle at both ends—or post it to your Instagram stories and tag @dannymattaPT so he can reshare! Let's help more clinicians build healthy lives and businesses that last. Episode Summary Clinic visits in D.C.: Danny spent a week touring four PT-owned clinics (including a Pilates studio) and connecting with owners, staff, and patients. The Pilates powerhouse: A 60-year-old woman outperformed Danny in class and credited her vitality to one thing—staying curious and always learning. The marathoner mindset: Another 60-year-old was training to beat his Marine Corps Marathon time from 27 years ago—his advice? Sleep more and drink water. Simple, free habits win: Curiosity, rest, and hydration form the foundation of longevity—no gimmicks required. Apply it as a clinician: Ask your high-performing patients what they do differently; use those insights to improve your own health and coaching. Entrepreneur health check: You can't pour into your business or family if you're constantly running on empty—protect your energy like your P&L. Lessons & Takeaways Curiosity compounds: Learning new things keeps your mind sharp and your spirit young. Sleep is recovery: It's not a luxury—it's the base of longevity for your body and business. Hydration matters: Replace the third cup of coffee with water; small habits stack over time. Reverse engineer success: When you meet someone thriving, ask how they got there—and apply it. Entrepreneurs need maintenance: You're your most valuable asset; take care of your health like your bottom line depends on it (because it does). Mindset & Motivation Be a novice again: It's okay not to know something. Growth only happens in discomfort. Longevity requires balance: Ambition without rest leads to burnout, not greatness. Model the outcome: Your patients and team are watching—lead by example in how you live, not just what you teach. Pro Tips for Clinicians Spot your outliers: Identify patients living the life you want—ask questions, take notes, learn from them. Integrate lessons: Use real patient stories to inspire others in your clinic community. Audit your own longevity: Rate your current sleep, hydration, learning, and physical activity—then pick one to improve this week. Guard your bandwidth: Schedule recovery time like a meeting—because it's just as important. Notable Quotes "Never stop learning. As soon as you stop, that's when you start to decay." "Prioritize sleep and drink water—simple, free, and most people still don't do it." "You have to pour back into yourself just as much as you pour into everyone else." Action Items Find one patient or peer who inspires you—ask what habits keep them sharp. Commit to one new learning pursuit this month (course, book, skill, hobby). Audit your sleep and hydration for seven days; adjust routines as needed. Share a story of someone who motivates you on social media and tag @dannymattaPT.

In this episode of Endurance Minded, Taylor Thomas unpacks the hidden emotional cost of high achievement: the ambition hangover. Drawing from psychology, performance science, and real-world experience, Taylor explores why hitting goals often leaves us unfulfilled, and how to reconnect ambition to meaning.

Presidential Ambition and the 1980 Victory: From Farm Hand Friendship to the "There You Go Again" Knockout. Max Boot discusses Ronald Reagan running for president, first challenging incumbent Gerald Ford in the 1976 Republican primaries. Reagan narrowly lost the New Hampshire primary to Ford by about a thousand votes, but won the hearts of the convention with a graceful and moving speech delivered in defeat. After Ford lost to Jimmy Carter, Reagan spent the years between 1976 and 1980 returning to his "first love": radio. Despite his 1976 loss and his age (69), Reagan decided to run again in 1980, driven by personal ambition. Reagan loved going to his ranch outside Santa Barbara on weekends, where he enjoyed physical labor and preferred associating with ranch hands, former California state policemen Dennis LeBlanc and Barney Barnett, over the magnates with whom he was often photographed. The 1980 campaign was initially managed by John Sears, but Reagan fired him on the day of the New Hampshire primary, and Nancy brought in Bill Casey as campaign chairman. Casey was later implicated in the alleged "October surprise," and Boot found strong evidence this "probably happened," though the culpability rested with Casey, not Reagan. The campaign remained close through the summer, but the gap opened up weeks before Election Day primarily because of the late October debate, where Reagan delivered the famous rhetorical knockout blow, "There you go again," winning him the debate and the election.

PREVIEW. The Domestic and Foreign Ambitions of Syria's al-Sharaa. Ahmad Sharawi describes the two faces of al-Sharaa, Syria's leader. Externally, al-Sharaa seeks international legitimacy, investment, and full sanctions relief via diplomatic visits. Domestically, he faces resistance; there have been two massacres, and groups like the Druze, Kurds, and coastal residents demand separation and autonomy.

Have you noticed that success has started to look… uniform? The slick-back bun, the gold hoops, the structured blazer, and the calm, composed tone of someone who's perfectly 'aligned'. In this week's episode, I look at how ambition has become an aesthetic, how this new era of women is blending success with balance, and what that says about the pressures we still carry.From the 1980s dream of 'having it all' to Gen Z's obsession with boundaries and self-care, I explore whether this polished image of success serves us or simply hides the work still happening beneath the surface.It's not a critique as such, more a reflection on what success really looks like when we strip away the uniform.

What if the very thing you think is blocking your progress in meditation — or in life — is actually the doorway forward? In this conversation with Dr. Christiane Wolf, hosted by DJ Cashmere, we explore how to work with expectations, frustration, and the belief that life needs to be different before we can be okay. Christiane shares clear, compassionate wisdom for turning toward difficulty instead of fighting it — and for discovering that what feels like the problem can become the path. Christiane is a physician, longtime meditation teacher, and author of Outsmart Your Pain and A Clinician's Guide to Teaching Mindfulness. She's known for blending deep Buddhist insight with warmth and humor. We're also thrilled to share that Christiane will be our Teacher of the Month for November, leading meditations and conversations throughout the month in the DanHarris.com Substack community.   Related Episodes: Peak Performance at Any Age | Christiane Wolf (Dharma Teacher/Doctor/Ultramarathoner) How to Outsmart Your Pain | Christiane Wolf Tickets are now on sale for a special live taping of the 10% Happier Podcast with guest Pete Holmes!
