In a world that constantly demands breakthrough solutions, do you ever feel like innovation is reserved for a select few, or that you're simply not "creative enough"? This week's guests are here to set the record straight: that we are all capable of creative thinking if we just give ourselves permission and a little guidance. Tessa Forshaw and Rich Braden are the co-authors of Innovation-ish: How Anyone Can Create Breakthrough Solutions to Real Problems in the Real World. Tessa is a cognitive scientist exploring how we work, learn, and innovate. She is a co-founder of Harvard's Next Level Lab and teaches Design Thinking and Innovation at Harvard, DCE, and Stanford D School. Rich is the founder and CEO of People Rocket, which helps leaders and teams overcome innovation hesitation; there, they guide clients through the innovation-ish approach, a flexible human-centered framework built on mindset shifts, small adaptive steps, and reflective practice he also teaches at Stanford D School.In this episode, we're cutting through the myth of the "right-brained" innovator. You'll learn how to integrate the six innovation mindsets into your work, overcome "innovation hesitation," and embrace your "whole brain" approach to problem-solving. This conversation offers practical tools to foster fresh thinking within your team, create space for ideas to thrive, and give you the concrete tools to move those ideas forward, no matter your role.Plus, in the extended episode, Tessa and Rich share tips for normalizing failure and using “F-Up Nights” to build a culture that learns from failure.Get FREE mini-episode guides with the big idea from the week's episode delivered to your inbox when you subscribe to my weekly email.Join the conversation now!Conversation Topics(00:00) Introduction – Why experimentation beats opinion-driven decision-making(01:18) The root of spiraling: fear, assumptions, and cognitive bias(04:02) Why small experiments create big clarity(07:10) The danger of optimizing parts of a system instead of the whole(10:42) A real-world case study: redesigning a supply chain through small tests(15:45) Why most ideas fail and why that's a good thing(18:04) How emotional attachment to ideas sabotages good decisions(21:30) Cognitive caution: What your brain is really doing when you avoid failure(25:14) Practicing emotional regulation while testing ideas(28:33) Creating a culture where testing > guessing(30:20) [Extended only] How leaders can use data to reduce conflict and opinion-driven debate(36:24) [Extended only] Normalizing failure and learning from it as a team(40:18) [Extended only] Global “F-Up Nights” and how leaders can model healthy failure
1/4. Market Adaptations, Fossil Fuels, and Physical Limits of Renewables — Terry Anderson (Editor) — Andersonintroduces Adapt and Be Adept, examining market-driven responses to climate change while applying Pascal's Wageranalytical framework. The book emphasizes the necessity of localized control in climate adaptation strategies, exemplified by Alaskan Native Villages implementing place-based solutions. Anderson details Mark Mills' argument that hydrocarbons remain essential to industrial civilization due to the extreme economic costs and insurmountable physical limitations of renewable energy sources, particularly regarding solar and wind power generation, compounded by critical battery storage capacity constraints. 1968
Working with clients in psychoanalysis, one of the hardest tasks is helping them to see the negative things they do without realizing it. Self-destructive habits, procrastination of important activities, reckless or careless behaviors -- these all have causes from deep inside that we can't get to without help.Freud mistakenly linked these to what he called Thanatos -- a death drive -- proposing that we had a drive of destruction directed against life. Freud saw it as a complement to the life drive -- Eros -- and he saw both as part of our nature.That's a tough one to wrap your head around.But chew on this: Freud was an atheist. The idea of a struggle between life and nothingness was probable for him. Keppe, though, takes us back a step: we're not programmed for death, so to speak. We're infused with and immersed in life and goodness. Happiness and success is our natural inheritance then. Keppe's eminently hopeful perspective sees problems and anguish as common, but not inevitable parts of nature. For Keppe, what goes wrong circles back to human doings -- both individually and collectively. Our problem lies in psychological inversion; in a strange way, we're attracted to the dark side, and often repulsed by the good.Not by nature, then, but by choice.An even more difficult thing to wrap your head around then.The Inverted Pleasure in Evil, our episode this time on Therapeutic Theology.Click here to listen to this episode.

THE Leadership Japan Series by Dale Carnegie Training Tokyo, Japan
When markets are kind, anyone can look like a genius. The test arrives when conditions turn—your systems, skills, and character decide what happens next. What are the five drivers every leader must master? The five drivers are: Self Direction, People Skills, Process Skills, Communication, and Accountability. Mastering all five creates resilient performance across cycles. In boom times (think pre-pandemic luxury hotels in Japan) tailwinds mask weak leadership; in shocks (closed borders, supply chain crunches) only strong drivers keep teams delivering. As of 2025, executives in multinationals, SMEs, and startups alike need a balanced "stack": vision and values (Self Direction), talent and trust (People), systems and analytics (Process), clear messaging and questions (Communication), and personal ownership (Accountability). If one leg is shaky, the whole table wobbles. Do now: Score yourself 1–5 on each driver; identify your lowest two and set 30-day improvement actions. Mini-summary: Five drivers form a complete system; strength in one can't compensate for failure in another. How does Self Direction separate steady leaders from "lucky" ones? Self-directed leaders set vision, goals, and culture—and adjust fast when reality bites. Great conditions or an inherited A-team help, but hope isn't a strategy. As markets shift in APAC, the US, or Europe, leaders with grounded values and a flexible ego change course quickly; rigid, oversized egos drive firms off cliffs faster. The calibration problem is real: we need enough ego to lead, not so much that we ignore evidence. In practice that means owner-dated goals, visible trade-offs, and a willingness to reverse a decision when facts change. Do now: Write a one-page "leader operating system": purpose, top 3 goals, non-negotiable values, and the conditions that trigger a pivot. Mini-summary: Direction + adaptability beats bravado; values anchor the pivot, not the vanity. Why are People Skills the new performance engine? Complex work killed the "hero leader"; today's results flow from psychologically safe, capability-building teams.Whether you run manufacturing in Aichi, B2B SaaS in Seattle, or retail in Sydney, you need the right people on the bus, in the right seats. Trust is the currency; without it, there is no team—only compliant individuals. Servant leadership isn't slogans; it's practical: career conversations, strengths-based job fit, and coaching cadences. Climbing over bodies might have worked in 1995; in 2025 it destroys engagement, innovation, and retention. Do now: Map your team on fit vs. aspiration. Realign one role this fortnight and schedule two growth conversations per week for the next month. Mini-summary: Build safety, match talent to roles, and coach growth; teams create the compounding returns, not lone heroes. What Process Skills keep quality high without killing initiative? Well-designed systems prevent good people from failing; poor processes turn stars into "low performers." Leaders must separate skill gaps from system flaws. Mis-fit is common—asking a big-picture creative to live in spreadsheets, or a detail maven to blue-sky strategy all day. Across sectors, involve people in improving the workflow; people support a world they help create. And yes, even "Driver" personalities must wear an Analytical hat for the numbers that matter: current, correct, relevant. Toyota's jidoka lesson applies broadly: stop the line when a defect appears, then fix root causes. Do now: Run a 60-minute process review: map steps, assign owners, check inputs/outputs, and identify one automation or simplification per step. Mini-summary: Design beats heroics; match roles to wiring, make data accurate, improve the system with the people who run it. How should leaders communicate to create alignment that sticks? Great leaders talk less, listen more, and ask sharper questions—then verify that messages cascade cleanly.Communication isn't a TED Talk; it's a discipline. Listen for what's not said, surface hidden risks, and test understanding down the line. In Japan, nemawashi-style groundwork builds alignment before meetings; in the US/EU, crisp owner-dated action registers keep pace high without rework. In regulated fields (finance, healthcare, aerospace), clarity reduces audit friction; in creative and GTM teams, it accelerates experiments. Do now: Install a weekly "message audit": sample three layers (manager, IC, cross-function) and ask them to restate priorities, risks, and decisions in their own words. Mini-summary: Listen deeply, question precisely, and ensure the message survives the org chart; alignment is measured at the edges. Where does Accountability start—and how do you make it contagious? Accountability starts at the top: the buck stops with the leader, without excuses—and then cascades through coaching and controls. As of 2025, boards and regulators demand both outcomes and evidence. Strong leaders admit errors quickly, fix them publicly, and maintain systems that track results and compliance. Accountability isn't blame; it's ownership plus support: clear goals, training, checkpoints, and consequences. In startups, this prevents "move fast and break the law"; in enterprises, it fights bureaucratic drift. Do now: Publish a one-page scoreboard each Monday (KPIs, leading indicators, risks) and hold a 15-minute review where owners report facts, not stories. Mini-summary: Model ownership, build coaching and monitoring into the cadence, and make evidence a habit—not a surprise inspection. How do you integrate the five drivers across markets and company types? Balance is contextual: tighten controls in high-risk/low-competency zones; grant autonomy in low-risk/high-competency zones. Multinationals can borrow playbooks (RACI, stage gates), but SMEs need lightweight equivalents to preserve speed. Startups should resist the "super-doer" trap by delegating outcomes early; listed firms should fight analysis paralysis by protecting experiments inside guardrails. Across Japan, the US, and Europe, leaders who pair people development with process discipline outperform through cycles because capability compounds while compliance holds. Do now: Build a "risk × competency" grid for your top workflows and adjust oversight accordingly within 48 hours. Review monthly as skills rise. Mini-summary: Tune people and process to context; move oversight with risk and capability, not with habit. Conclusion: strength in all five, not perfection in one Leadership success is engineered, not gifted by luck. When conditions turn, Self Direction provides the compass, People Skills provide power, Process Skills provide traction, Communication provides cohesion, and Accountability provides grip. Work the system, in that order, and your organisation will keep moving—legally, safely, profitably—even when the weather's foul.

Back in the 1950s, the CIA and Kremlin got it into their collective heads that figuring out how to brainwash and modify human behavior was a good idea.Totally illegally, of course. And damaging to any who were submitted to their personality control experiments.Out of this abusive and paranoid climate came such films as The Manchurian Candidate and Wormwood and even Jason Bourne.Some have linked various high profile murderers to mind control experiments, but it's difficult to get any final conclusions on those. The whole subject is very secretive, and you get the feeling if you go down that rabbit hole of really sleazy, dark and evil intentions masquerading as national security imperatives.In Norberto Keppe's scientific work, there is an even more nefarious program going on here on Earth - and it's been happening since the dawn of time. Demonic Mind Control.And just like it's difficult to find out about those shadowy CIA and Kremlin programs, it's also difficult to find out much about the shady activities occurring on the transcendental plane. And largely for the same reasons - subterfuge. For just as the security agencies hide and deny and obfuscate, so do the spiritual ones. We'll bring some of this spiritual aspect to light today.Demonic Mind Control, our Therapeutic Theology episode today.Click here to listen to this episode.

BT & Sal bring the heat in this fiery debate, slamming the Mets' confusing coaching titles, especially the new "Director of Major League Hitting," and questioning the value of two hitting gurus telling elite players like Juan Soto what to do. They dive into whether the "ultra-analytical" hiring of Kai Correa as bench coach is a "warning shot" for manager Carlos Mendoza. The talk shifts to the Yankees, where they preview Brian Cashman's upcoming press conference, demanding he stop defending Volpe and address the team's failing player development. Plus, the hosts vent about the Rangers' embarrassing three-game, zero-goal start at home and the ridiculousness of the Gold Glove nominations (Lindor's snub!). Finally, the segment ends with Three Random Questions: Ever hit a deer (or other big animal) on the road?
BT & Sal dive into a fiery "Call of the Day" on the Mets' managerial future. A caller suggests that Carlos Beltrán is the true "manager in waiting," putting manager Carlos Mendoza on thin ice. They joke about new bench coach Kai Correa having an "inside edge" with "satellite dishes" (big ears) to "hear the other team's pitches." The conversation shifts to a celebratory, yet boastful, Sal receiving the Dick Young Memorial Award from the NY Pro Scouts, which he deems superior to an Emmy. Finally, they debate the true meaning of the MVP award, citing the bizarre, low-stat season that won Terry Pendleton the honor.
BT & Sal ignite a fiery debate over Mets President David Stearns' controversial staff choices, calling the hiring of "ultra-analytical" bench coach Kai Correa a clear "backstab" and a "warning shot" that puts manager Carlos Mendoza on "thin ice." They rip the organization's top-down, data-first philosophy, arguing it emasculates the manager and favors "nerds over ninjas." The focus then shifts to the Yankees as they question if Anthony Volpe's surgery is an "escape hatch" to cover up the club's development failures. The hosts also preview a "feisty" Cashman press conference, demand accountability for the position player mess, and weigh in on the Giants' trade rumors. The show wraps with a hilarious recap of BT's anxiety-ridden late-night TV experience and a deep-dive into MVP arguments and MLB stoppage fears.

Dr. Keppe has said many times over the more than 2 decades I've been here in Brazil studying and working with him that no one is good alone. That means we act from influencers in our lives -- and I don't mean to social media kind. Friends and family, lovers and mentors, teachers and priests and padres -- all have had their positive effect on us.And then, since we're dealing with theology in this series, we have to consider the influence of spiritual forces, too. Those transcendental bodies, like guardian angels and souls that have passed on but reach back through the ether to inspire and direct us.Beethoven used to say that God was shouting in his head, and the only thing that gave him any relief was to write it down.And just look at the legacy that left us!The other side of that statement about not being good alone, of course, is that we're not bad alone either. Negative influences are listened to in our society, from envious critique offered freely at the water cooler at work, to oft observed corruption in social institutions, to individuals demonstrating "flexible" morals. And then there is demonic suggestion. Much discarded in our modern world, of course, but well accepted in some theological circles.Following those negative impulses from within and without leads us to some crazy behavior -- the kind that causes us to cringe when we look back at it. And it also causes guilt. Which is good because it shows us we still have a moral compass. But it doesn't feel all that great, which is why we try to rationalize it away or excuse ourselves or, more seriously, drown it in whiskey.The voice we hear in those moments when we are tempted to fall is important to understand. Not admitting our guilt and responsibility can lead to some sleepless nights. Or even panic attacks and phobias. But maybe, accusations that are not entirely our own.

What if the key to unlocking ADC manufacturing success lies in abandoning the platform mindset entirely?Antibody-drug conjugates represent biotech's most promising weapon against cancer: precision-targeted therapeutics that deliver cytotoxic payloads directly to tumor cells while sparing healthy tissue. But beneath the clinical promise lies a manufacturing reality that's rewriting the rules of bioprocess development, demanding analytical strategies that most CDMOs simply aren't equipped to handle.In this deep-dive episode, David Brühlmann sits down with Amanda Hoertz, Vice President of Analytical and Formulation Sciences at KBI Biopharma, where she oversees 300+ scientists across the mammalian network. Amanda's team has cracked the code on some of the industry's most challenging ADC programs, achieving a remarkable 93% batch success rate by rejecting cookie-cutter approaches in favor of molecule-specific development strategies.What you'll discover:The Platform Fallacy: Why treating ADCs like standard monoclonals is costing companies millions and months of development time, and the bespoke analytical framework that's changing everything.Cytotoxic Payload Management: From free drug analysis to employee safety protocols, Amanda reveals the hidden complexities of handling molecules designed to kill cells, including the specialized facilities and analytical methods required for GMP manufacturing.Charge Heterogeneity Mastery: The analytical method that "keeps Amanda up at night," and the development strategies her team uses to achieve robust separation and qualification across multiple sites and analysts.This episode delivers the technical depth and strategic insights that bioprocess engineers need to navigate ADC development successfully. Whether you're evaluating CDMO partnerships, optimizing analytical methods, or scaling complex conjugates, Amanda's proven strategies will transform your approach to these game-changing therapeutics.Ready to master the analytical complexities that make or break ADC programs?Connect with Amanda Hoertz:LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/amanda-hoertz-3aba605KBI Biopharma: www.kbibiopharma.comKBI Portal: www.standalone.kbi.bioNext step:Book a 20-minute call to help you get started on any questions you may have about bioprocessing analytics: https://bruehlmann-consulting.com/call

Growing up in a modern developed, secular society means limited access to theological understanding. There is some spirituality mixed into the stew of science and legislation and jurisprudence, but it's of a modern kind -- meaning a blend of concepts and ideas pulled from Eastern philosophy, New Age imaginings and Quantum physics. And as such, there's lots of talk about influences from numbers and planets and collective consciousness, and even some room for mind over matter miracles.But there's precious little consideration of old-fashioned sin. And obviously no acknowledgement of the influence of evil in our lives.Admittedly, sin is a loaded word in this modern environment, so a science that accepts theology -- like Norberto Keppe's Analytical Trilogy (or Integral Psychoanalysis) -- renames sin as psychopathology. However, to really understand human activity in the world, we need to expand to a consideration of spiritual influence in our personal and social lives. Especially to negative spiritual influence. Because we are not problematic alone. And our unwillingness to see our problems as evidence of really bad intentions rather than just unwilling mistakes or occasional infractions is seriously undermining our human society.This illustrates a kind of hubris in the human stance towards reality. A sort of refusal to see what's really causing our problems on Earth that the ancient theologians recognized as pride. And there's something deeper to be understood here in our modern society.

In this episode, the hosts dive deep into the power of switching things up in sales, launching an experiment to see if donning sport coats can boost their sales close rates and shift team energy. They explore the psychological impact of changing routines, sharing personal stories about how even small adjustments—like wardrobe choices—can create momentum and break through stagnation.The heart of the discussion is a lively, in-depth ranking of five classic sales personality types: the Passion Guy, the Storyteller, the Analytical, the Closer, and the Relationship Builder. The hosts debate the pros and cons of each style, revealing how different approaches resonate with buyers and shape the sales experience. Along the way, they reflect on the importance of authenticity, adaptability, and human connection in both sales and leadership.Packed with practical insights, candid anecdotes, and plenty of humor, this episode offers a fresh perspective on what it takes to succeed in sales—and why sometimes, a simple change can make all the difference.

Alabama travels to Georgia for a 6:30 Central kickoff on Saturday night in a game televised on ABC. Georgia is a 3 1/2-point favorite on FanDuel as of Monday morning. Jay Greeson and Chris Lee discuss the matchup and hit the following topics: Georgia's Kirby Smart is just 1-6 against Alabama, including a loss to the Crimson Tide last year under Kalen DeBoer. However, the Bulldogs carry a 33-game home winning streak, last losing in Athens to South Carolina in double overtime on Oct. 14, 2019? Which quarterback is more ready for the big stage? Gunner Stockton was clutch, leading Georgia from eight points down in the final minutes in Knoxville two weeks ago by hitting London Humphreys with a beautiful touchdown strike and then hitting Zechariah Branch with a 2-point conversion before the Bulldogs won in overtime. On the other hand, Alabama's Ty Simpson is 41-for-46 for 608 yards, seven touchdowns and no interceptions since the Florida State loss. Who has the play-making edge? Georgia's receiving corps is thought to be better than last year's, with even second-teamers like Humphreys being good enough to make big plays. As for Alabama, Germie Bernard has been consistently good and Ryan Williams (who made the biggest play in last year's game) has shined in his return from injury. Will Alabama's Jam Miller return from injury? And if he does, how much will it matter if Alabama's offensive line doesn't perform closer to its potential? Who'll keep possession of the ball? Georgia is running 80 plays to the opponents' 58 on average, while Alabama held the ball for 52 of 103 offensive snaps in its last game two weeks ago vs. Wisconsin. Which defense is better? Georgia gave up 371 passing yards to Tennessee but played the run respectably (4.1 per carry on true running plays), while Alabama gave up 149 yards (ULM) and 209 (Wisconsin) its last two games. Analytical models have this one as a virtual toss-up, with Georgia favored by a half-point at home (with a 2 1/2-point home-field advantage factored in).

2025 Mid-Year Review: How Junior Military Officers Can Win in Today's Market As we've passed the midpoint of 2025 and we look towards the end of 2025, our CEO, Chuck Alvarez, and Senior Vice President, Joel Junker, offered an in-depth review of today's economic and career landscape. Their discussion was both candid and encouraging. And in doing so, they provided clarity on how JMOs can win in today's market. This was recorded in in July 2025, and with recent economic data and news with respect to the labor markets, found it fitting to launch. The "New Normal" Economy The global economy has entered what Chuck and Joel describe as a “new normal” - a period likely to last the next 10 to 20 years. Unlike past downturns, this environment is shaped by long-term, structural shifts: First, interest rates and inflation remain high. The Federal Reserve raised rates by 500 basis points, slowing consumer spending and making it harder for businesses to borrow money. Second, geopolitical uncertainty is making companies more cautious. Conflicts overseas, policy changes at home, and an election year have all slowed down hiring decisions. Third, artificial intelligence is reshaping the workplace. AI and automation are changing white-collar roles. Companies are building leaner teams but expect employees to bring stronger skills. The White-Collar Recession: What It Means For JMOs Joel highlighted the ongoing white-collar recession. Compared to 2022, there are about 3% fewer white-collar jobs available, with companies paying more attention to every new hire. Adding to this: College graduates face unemployment rates between 6-7%. Veterans hover around 6% unemployment, higher than the national average. MBA graduates aren't immune either - 25% of Harvard Business School's Class of 2025 were unemployed at graduation. At first glance, these numbers may seem discouraging. But the silver lining is that the jobs that remain are more complex, high-impact, and reserved for exceptional leaders. For prepared JMOs, this is a tremendous opportunity to transition out and add value to your future employer in a tighter market. Why JMOs Have a Competitive Edge Despite the tough environment, Chuck and Joel emphasized that highly capable JMOs remain in strong demand. Companies are looking for leaders who can solve problems, collaborate across functions, and drive results under pressure - all strengths forged through military service. In fact, the shift toward fewer but more demanding roles plays directly to the strengths of transitioning officers. JMOs bring: Proven leadership in high-stakes environments Analytical and problem-solving skills developed in dynamic conditions A servant-leader mindset that aligns with today's emphasis on collaboration and impact However, natural ability alone isn't enough. Preparation is the differentiator. The Mindset That Wins Joel used a powerful analogy: you can't “roll out of bed and run a marathon.” Just as an athlete trains months in advance, JMOs must approach their transition with disciplined preparation. Key mindsets include: Excellence mindset – hold yourself to the highest standard and commit to continuous learning. Giver mindset – focus on serving others and lead with humility. Growth mindset – embrace change, pursue challenging assignments, and avoid the trap of underemployment. This combination of preparation and mindset ensures JMOs not only compete but thrive against experienced business professionals and MBAs. Preparation + Mindset = The JMO Advantage At Cameron-Brooks, we've seen this proven time and again. Our Development and Preparation Program (DPP) equips JMOs to compete for high-complexity roles, with candidates averaging 10 interviews per Career Conference and on average more than 95% of those leading to follow-ups or offers. The takeaway is clear: with the right preparation an...
