In this powerful episode, she shares her journey from art-loving Leeds teenager to master cutter and internationally respected business owner.We dive into the traditions, challenges, and quiet revolutions of bespoke tailoring.

At Redeemer, our pathway is how we seek to embody our vision and mission, or in other words, put it into practice. We desire every person to enter into intentional apprenticeship to Jesus, to be in a diverse, loving community, and to live in Wichita as witnesses. “The Church exists for nothing else but to draw men and women into Christ, to make them little Christs. If they are not doing that, all the cathedrals, clergy, missions, sermons, even the Bible itself, are simply a waste of time. God became man for no other purpose.” – CS Lewis At Redeemer, we take seriously Jesus' call to “Go and make disciples of all nations baptizing them in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you.” Apprenticeship to Jesus is not a one time decision, but a lifelong journey of following Jesus as our master-teacher. Since the goal of the Christian life is maturity in Jesus, apprenticeship must be deep and holistic, transforming the spiritual, physical, emotional, social, and vocational parts of men and women. Apprenticeship to Jesus is learning to practice the way of Jesus in our homes, relationships, neighborhoods, and jobs. We believe Christlikeness is cultivated as we implement spiritual practices, live in community with other believers, and submit to the Word and the Spirit. We agree with Dallas Willard who said, “that the gospel is opposed to earning, not effort.” As we move towards cultivating a life of loving God and people, we trust Christ will mature us into his likeness. https://redeemerwichita.church/

Have you ever gotten a negative review on something you've made or your business? Received a one-star rating? Dared to venture into the comment section—or worse—overheard someone trashing your work? It's a law of the universe: haters are inevitable the moment you take a stance, make yourself visible, or grow in ways that challenge others' comfort or self image. In reality, most hate isn't really about you. It's what you represent. You're the one who took the risk. You're being seen.  You're being recognized. And that shakes the stands they're still sitting in—watching, critiquing, but never stepping foot in the arena themselves. This episode will help you separate noise from feedback, ugliness from something worth reflecting on, and how to tell when criticism should be used as locker room motivation—or ignored entirely. In today's show, Brett will address this long overdue and fascinating case study in human nature, and cover: The deeper reasons people lash out—and what it has to do with power and control Why some criticism feels louder than it is—and how it spreads through social currency How to filter what deserves reflection vs what's just emotional noise When to use negativity as fuel—and when to let it die in silence Why consistency outlasts every critic—and what happens when you fade with them If you've ever found yourself doubting what you're doing because of someone's throwaway comment... Or if you've ever wondered whether to clap back, make adjustments, or just put your head down and move forward—this one's for you. Whether you love the episode or hate it (see what we did there), we love hearing from you. If you have any questions you'd like answered or want to hear more about a certain topic, shoot us an email at info@artofcoaching.com.   

Apprenticeships promise skills and opportunity—but in today's economy, where milk tea shops and factories alike rely on trainees, the line between education and exploitation is increasingly blurred. Are these programs building tomorrow's workforce, or just masking cheap labor? We also explore the role of apprenticeships in developing skilled labor. On the show: Heyang, Steve Hatherly & Li Yi

Wait... when did this become my fault? Why do I feel like I'm being indicted?  That's not at all what I meant when I said that.  I have no idea how we got to the point where I'm the one feeling guilty. We've all been in this situation before. You thought you were having an honest conversation—but somehow, things flipped. Now it's uncomfortable. You must have said something that offended them… right?  But did you?  How did what you said get twisted into that? And now, out of nowhere, you're the bad guy. People can be simple, complex, complicated, and convoluted—all at the same time. Sometimes we send a clear input through someone, and because of ego, insecurity, or other unresolved stuff, it comes out the other side as something completely different, leaving them defensive. Now they're projecting. And now you're stuck dealing with the fallout. It's more common than ever in the world we live in today—so let's break it down. What kinds of tactics can we use to lower the temperature and get back on solid ground? How can we preemptively shield ourselves and make sure the signal doesn't get lost in the noise? In this episode Brett covers: What projection is and why people resort to it How to frame your words for someone who internalizes everything Go-to scripts and phrases to use when things start heating up Strategically call out dramatic behavior and get to the root of the pattern Setting realistic expectations when someone isn't ready to face themselves—and you have to choose between being right or being happy

Today on Consuming the Craft, I had the privilege of sitting down with Dr. John Gossett, president of Asheville Buncombe Technical Community College, to mark his five-year anniversary leading the institution. Together, we took a candid look at how education, especially at the community college level, has evolved in response to hurricanes, pandemics, technological disruptions, and shifting attitudes about the value of a college credential. Our conversation ranged from the challenges of outdated bureaucracy and the importance of hands-on education to the ever-growing need to align what we teach with what employers and students actually want, including industry certifications, apprenticeships, and practical experience. We also dug into the boom in the craft beverage industry—including non-alcoholic and specialty drinks—and what the changing tastes and job market mean for our students and programs. And, as always, there was time for a thoughtful toast, a few laughs, and some great Scotch.Dr. John Gossett has dedicated nearly forty years to advancing education, with a career that began in the classroom and led him through the ranks to his current role as president of AB Tech. He is recognized for championing hands-on learning, building resilient and student-focused pathways, and forging deep connections with local employers to ensure education is relevant and impactful. His vision centers on community colleges as engines for transformation—not just academic but personal and regional—and he remains committed to making education more accessible, modern, and in tune with our rapidly changing world."You're not gonna find AI coming in and fixing your plumbing, rewiring your house."Today on Consuming the Craft: ·     The future of community colleges depends on adaptability, aligning programs with the actual needs of industries and students, and being open to new models of credentialing, such as the certificates offered by technology companies. ·     Hands-on, skilled trades remain stable and lucrative career paths, with the added benefit of being relatively resilient to automation and artificial intelligence. ·     AB Tech continues to break down the outdated stigma around community colleges, showing that its graduates go on to meaningful, high-paying local jobs and leadership roles. ·     Bureaucracy and red tape—from excessive paperwork to inflexible credential rules—are real barriers that educators must address to better serve tomorrow's students. ·     Apprenticeships and partnerships with industry are crucial, as they provide students with practical experience, foster employee loyalty, and strengthen the regional workforce. ·     The craft beverage field is evolving rapidly, with a growing interest in non-alcoholic products, seltzers, CBD/THC-infused drinks, and specialty teas, expanding the range of skills the college must teach. ·     Data-driven, personalized student pathways—using insights similar to online retailers—could revolutionize how students find, select, and complete their educational journeys. ·     Education must emphasize both practical, work-ready skills and the soft skills of communication, critical thinking, and adapting to change, especially in a post-pandemic world.·      Contact for Dr. John Gossett: Email: johngossett@abtech.edu Asheville Buncombe Technical Community College: abtech.eduResources Mentioned: Craft Beverage Institute of the Southeast at AB Tech McConnell Farms UC Davis (brewing and beverage science) Siebel Institute Western Governors University This episode is brought to you by… McConnell Farms - Taste the Way You Remember.

Shoot us a Text.Episode #1101: Today we talk about how AI is quietly reshaping the workforce under the guise of “restructuring.” GM reports a profit dip but revs up electrified truck updates to meet shifting demands. Finally, California launches an innovative apprenticeship program to tackle the auto tech shortage head-on.GM's Q2 net income fell 35%, hit by $1.1 billion in tariffs, but the company holds firm on full-year profit goals. CEO Mary Barra highlights strategic moves to align with consumer demand. Meanwhile, GMC is updating its trucks and SUVs with plug-in hybrids arriving in 2027 and EV redesigns planned.Q2 revenue dropped 1.8% to $47.1 billion; North American pretax profit down 46%.Tariffs expected to cut profits by $4-$5 billion this year.GMC's Sierra and Yukon will add plug-in hybrids in 2027, with EV Sierra redesign in 2028.Hummer EV and other models due for updates through 2029.Barra: “We'll emerge from this transition stronger and more profitable than before.”California dealers are tackling the nationwide shortage of skilled auto techs with a new apprenticeship program. The initiative lets aspiring technicians learn on the job without upfront costs, offering wages, tools, and a U.S. Department of Labor certification after two years.CNCDA reports 400,000 tech job openings nationwide; California alone needs 5,000 more.The shift to EVs and retiring experienced techs are worsening the shortage.Apprenticeship pays a fair wage, requires no tuition, and includes e-learning tools.Open to anyone, especially those 18-30 without college degrees, aiming to avoid student debt.“This program offers a practical path to a lucrative career without the burden of traditional schooling,” said CNCDA representatives.While companies rarely admit it publicly, AI technology is increasingly driving workforce reductions disguised as restructuring or optimization. Early layoffs have targeted 1099 freelancers, especially in content and creative roles, HR, and Customer Service as firms cautiously phase in AI tools before affecting full-time employees.IBM and Klarna have been among the few transparent about AI replacing some jobs despite overall growth.Companies often use euphemisms like “restructuring,” “reorganization,” “optimization,” and “business efficiency” to mask AI-driven job cuts and avoid backlash.When AI falls short, companies often outsource work globally instead of rehiring domestically.“AI might automate 70% to 90% of a process, but the last mile still needs the human touch, especiallJoin Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier every morning for the Automotive State of the Union podcast as they connect the dots across car dealerships, retail trends, emerging tech like AI, and cultural shifts—bringing clarity, speed, and people-first insight to automotive leaders navigating a rapidly changing industry.Get the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/

What happens when one of the nation's top apprenticeship leaders sits down with one of ECE's boldest innovators? A lot!

It can be one of the most frustrating things in the world. That discontent and confusion about your professional life and where it's headed. The feeling that keeps you up at night, scrolling job postings, revisiting all the “what if's” from your past, and daydreaming about a complete 180 you've always thought about, but never acted on. Staying in this mental space doesn't just drain your energy, it leaves you lost, confused about your future and what a step forward even looks like. Whether you're burnt out, fed up with the bureaucracy, or simply craving a new challenge— you need definitive clarity about what you want, along with an honest map of the current landscape so you can make the next right move. This episode will cut through the worry and wishful thinking as Brett lays out: How to identify which passion is worth acting on, even when your head is spinning with options A framework to pressure-test a career move—so you can dip a toe or get your foot in the door without blowing up your life The role of bridge jobs and the realistic steps needed to work your way toward that bigger goal (even if it feels far off right now) Ways to break out of the psychological paralysis that keeps people stuck in neutral How to bucket your tradeoffs so you don't let fear creep in, remembering nothing is final

Nothing will haunt you like the things you leave unsaid. It's a bold statement, and a chilling one—but unfortunately, most of us know exactly how true it is. You owe it to them and to yourself to speak the truth about what they mean to you. No matter the regrettable things you've said or done to each other... the failures, the absences, the apologies never given, or the love you didn't express—it needs to get out. We've covered a wide range of topics since launching this podcast, but this one stands out as an evergreen. It's a conversation that will withstand the test of time and deeply resonate with YOU. In this episode, Brett shoots straight from the heart and will explain: Why we often don't say what needs to be said—how assumptions, pride, and fear keep olive branches from growing The danger of “safe” silence—and how it can quietly grow into full-blown regret How to make sure you're not leaving yourself out of the conversation by silencing your own positive affirmations A practical strategy to turn that charged cluster of emotions and thoughts into something meaningful (SPOILER: Just say it messy!) Setting clear expectations and staying grounded in case the message isn't received the way you hoped

We desire every person to enter into intentional apprenticeship to Jesus, to be in a diverse, loving community, and to live in Wichita as witnesses. “The Church exists for nothing else but to draw men and women into Christ, to make them little Christs. If they are not doing that, all the cathedrals, clergy, missions, sermons, even the Bible itself, are simply a waste of time. God became man for no other purpose.” – CS Lewis At Redeemer, we take seriously Jesus' call to “Go and make disciples of all nations baptizing them in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you.” Apprenticeship to Jesus is not a one time decision, but a lifelong journey of following Jesus as our master-teacher. Since the goal of the Christian life is maturity in Jesus, apprenticeship must be deep and holistic, transforming the spiritual, physical, emotional, social, and vocational parts of men and women. Apprenticeship to Jesus is learning to practice the way of Jesus in our homes, relationships, neighborhoods, and jobs. We believe Christlikeness is cultivated as we implement spiritual practices, live in community with other believers, and submit to the Word and the Spirit. We agree with Dallas Willard who said, “that the gospel is opposed to earning, not effort.” As we move towards cultivating a life of loving God and people, we trust Christ will mature us into his likeness. https://redeemerwichita.church/

Dimple Khagram, founder and CEO of Purple Beard Training, talks about creating the UK's first Accessibility Specialist Apprenticeship in an interview with Antonio Santos and Neil Milliken. What began as a passion project has expanded into a major educational programme, with seven graduates earning five distinctions and 40 additional apprentices still completing the course.The journey wasn't straightforward. Dimple shares how her own experience with burnout inspired her to establish Purple Beard—a company whose quirky name deliberately challenges traditional educational norms. This recurring theme of professionals discovering accessibility after significant life changes emerges as a compelling undercurrent throughout the discussion.Developing an effective accessibility curriculum proved especially difficult. Purple Beard spent nearly two years designing a programme that combines technical expertise with practical application across various areas: legislation, content design, testing, web development tools, and ethics. Their experience highlights why accessibility is a specialised profession requiring dedicated training rather than just an extension of software development.What truly stands out are the motivations of accessibility apprentices. Regardless of their backgrounds, they all share a strong desire to create an equitable digital world, often driven by personal experiences with accessibility needs. This passion is vital as they face organisational resistance when advocating for accessibility in environments where it was not originally prioritised.The discussion takes a thought-provoking turn when examining how accessibility relates to wider societal shifts. Are we becoming overly individualistic? How might we channel the time saved through AI and technology into community building and inclusive design? As Dimple observes, "How do we step back from the individualistic approach and say we want to make this better for everybody?"Are you curious about how specialised accessibility training is transforming organisations and fostering digital experiences that are inclusive for all? This episode offers practical insights for both accessibility specialists and anyone eager to develop more inclusive digital environments.Support the showFollow axschat on social media.Bluesky:Antonio https://bsky.app/profile/akwyz.com Debra https://bsky.app/profile/debraruh.bsky.social Neil https://bsky.app/profile/neilmilliken.bsky.social axschat https://bsky.app/profile/axschat.bsky.social LinkedInhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/antoniovieirasantos/ https://www.linkedin.com/company/axschat/Vimeohttps://vimeo.com/akwyzhttps://twitter.com/axschathttps://twitter.com/AkwyZhttps://twitter.com/neilmillikenhttps://twitter.com/debraruh

“Is there anything I can do to help?” It's interesting and unique how we've all been asked this question by a spouse, friend, co-worker, or boss—but it never feels like that question leads to you getting actual help. It often feels like answering that question will cause you even more issues.  But, people are asking it with good intentions, so how can we actually seize this moment and get some relief from the overload? We're always told as leaders that we need to delegate, delegate, delegate—so how can we respond to this request without adding to our overwhelm? In today's episode, Brett is going to give us all the answers—and much more—to this age-old question we all somewhat cringe when we hear. Lean in as he covers: The psychology and first principles behind why we often decline help—even when we need it Cognitive overwhelm—how to reduce it, cut through the fog, and get the help you need Practical strategies to truly show up for someone and show you care Default requests you can use to get quick results based on their competence and ability How to respond with honesty that eases the emotional friction you might feel Iron Sharpens Iron You say you want to be the best—then stop avoiding the conversations that actually test you. This isn't another feel-good workshop or conference where you can sit back, take notes, and disappear into the crowd. The Apprenticeship is fully interactive. We throw you into live, role-play scenarios and teach you how to navigate real conflict, difficult personalities, and power dynamics with clarity and control. No fluff. No theory overload. Just gritty, practical reps that expose your blind spots and sharpen your communication under pressure. Everyone could use some help—and if you're part of the audience we focused on in last week's episode, you'll even earn 1.6 CEUs!  Come see us in:

THIS WEEK: This week, we will be studying 2 Timothy 2:1-9 under the theme “Apprentice to Jesus.” While the term “disciple” gets used frequently in Christianity, what exactly does it mean? Is there a distinction to be made between having faith in Jesus and being a disciple of Jesus? We'll see how the term apprentice is a helpful illustration to consider as we think about how Jesus trains us to carry out his work in the world.SERIES SUMMARY: This series is based on the best-selling Christian book, Practicing the Way, by John Mark Comer. This work guides Christians toward spiritual formation by following the lifestyle of Jesus — through intentional practices like silence, sabbath, simplicity, and community. It emphasizes becoming like Jesus by doing what he did, integrating faith into everyday life through rhythm, discipline, and deep apprenticeship.How can we pray for you? tinyurl.com/stmarcusprayersFill out our online connection card: tinyurl.com/stmarcusconnectcardIf you'd like to leave an offering or monetary donation to our ministry please click here: https://tinyurl.com/stmarcusgive
