In a world addicted to certainty, the most radical thing a leader can do is get curious.    In this episode of The Modern Culture, Cari and Leah explore Courageous Curiosity—the principle that unlocks innovation, trust, and self-mastery. But this isn't about asking more questions. It's about asking better ones—the kind that disrupt old narratives, challenge outdated systems, and spark real transformation.    This principle isn't just about how you lead others.  It's about how honest you're willing to be with yourself.    In this episode, we explore: Why most leaders unknowingly abandon curiosity in favor of controlThe difference between surface-level questions and transformational inquiryThe neuroscience of curiosity and how it rewires your leadership approachWhat happens when you choose exploration over egoA powerful case study of a leader who changed everything by staying openThree micro-practices to rewire your reflex toward controlHow Courageous Curiosity creates safety, innovation, and depth in your culture   This episode is a permission slip and a challenge.  You don't need more answers—you need better questions.  And you need the courage to ask them.    Integration Challenge:  For the next 7 days, ask one uncomfortable question a day.  Start with yourself. Then extend it to your team, your relationships, your strategy.  Let curiosity do what certainty can't.    Watch: https://youtu.be/VcDWZMfnfYk

Baseline modeling is a necessary part of model validation. In our expert opinion, it should be required before model deployment. There are many baseline modeling types and in this episode, we're discussing their use cases, strengths, and weaknesses. We're sure you'll appreciate a fresh take on how to improve your modeling practices.Show notesIntroductions and news: why reporting and visibility is a good thing for AI 0:03Spoiler alert: Providing visibility to AI bias audits does NOT mean exposing trade secrets. Some reports claim otherwise.Discussion about AI regulation in the context of current events and how regulation is playing out between Boeing and the FAA (tbc)Understanding baseline modeling for machine learning 7:41Establishing baselines allows us to understand how models perform relative to simple rules-based models, aka heuristics.Reporting results without baselines to compare against is like giving a movie a rating of 5 without telling the listener that you were using a 10-point scale.Baseline modeling comparisons are part of rigorous model validations and should always be conducted during early model development and final production deployment.Pairs with analyses of theoretical upper bounds for modeling performance to show how your technique scores between acceptable worst and best case performance.We often find complex models being deployed in the real world that haven't proven their value over simpler and explainable baseline modelsClassification baselines and model performance comparison 19:40Uniform Random Selection - simulate how your model does against a baseline model that guesses classes randomly like a dice.Most Frequent Class (MFC) - the most telling test and often the most telling test in the case of highly skewed data with inappropriate metrics.Single-feature modeling - Validates how much the complex signal from your data and model improves over a bare minimum explainable model.And more…Exploring regression and more advanced baselines for modeling 24:11Regression baselines: mean, median mode, Single-variable linear regression, Lag 1, and Least 5% re-interpretationAdvanced baselines in language and visionConclusions 35:39Baseline modeling is a necessary part of model validationThere are differing flavors of baselines that are appropriate for all types of modelingBaselines are needed to establish fair and realistic lower bounds for performanceIf your model can't perform significantly better than a baseline consider scrapping the model and trying a new approachWhat did you think?

Listen to my guest and get valuable insights on how to manage change and people to ensure a smoother transition later on.

However, Pia has amassed a wealth of experience in diverse fields, making her exceptionally effective in leading, directing, and managing organizational change.Here are a few highlights of our conversation: Why a college degree won't guarantee you a job if Pia is doing the hiringHow Pia uses her creativity,  innovation, and fintech experience to humanize banking and change how consumers view banking in generalHow do you convert a bland (same-old) mission statement and force your client to live up to it?Pia's definition of the internal ecosystem necessary for organizational success.Why anyone who is in B2B is, by definition, also in B2C? An insightful and rare approachWhat is at the core of business development?Tech is great only if people use it. How did Denmark drive tech adoption?Stop dumping tech on your employees.

Do you ever wonder what the phrase business lawyer actually means? Today I shed a light on what a business lawyer does, the approach I take as a business lawyer and the things I don't do.Firstly, I explain how a business lawyer differs from other lawyers. The areas of law are not dissimilar to medical specialities - there are different kinds of lawyers for different areas of law. If you're buying or selling a property, you need a conveyancing lawyer, if you've injured yourself,  you need a personal injury lawyer, or if you've been charged with a criminal offence, you need a criminal lawyer. And, if you are running a small business, you need a business lawyer.As a small business owner, you've got so much on your plate already - you're wearing all the hats and you need someone to support you on that. You need somebody to be there with you every step of the way. A business lawyer is your sounding board, your peace of mind and your advisor. They will advise you on what you need to do, what you need to know, how to do it and how to comply with your legal obligations.I run through examples of what can come up for small businesses and the role that a business lawyer plays in helping to resolve those pain points. I also explain my approach to setting businesses up with preventative steps to ensure they avoid situations where they need to call a litigation or dispute resolution lawyer.I am a small business lawyer who focuses on teaching you everything you need to know, supporting you to do it all and setting you up for long-term success so that your business can grow and scale in a sustainable way without coming unstuck later.In this episode I explain:How a business lawyer is different from other lawyersHow a business lawyer assists with the common conundrums and tricky situations small businesses faceThe role of a business lawyer in helping small businesses get the foundations right for long-term successWhy I take a preventative, risk-mitigation approachHow I work with small businesses utilising a high-touch, collaborative approachWhat to consider when choosing a business lawyerIf you've ever been unsure of your legal obligations and don't know how you might go about setting your business up for long-term success, this episode is for you.LINKS:Previous episode mentioned:Ep 105 - Does The Australian Consumer Law Apply To My Business?Connect with Tracey: Get your copy of my Annual Legal Checklist hereWebsite: tmsolicitor.com.auInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/tmsolicitor/Book a Strategy Session with me here

As a woman in her 40s (or older), do you want to learn how to exercise in a way that moves you forward but also honours your body through day-to-day fluctuations?Olivia Park is a women's health and performance coach who helps active women lift hard and live well both in and out of the gym. She helps women find liberation from the ‘shoulds' in fitness and the all-or-nothing mindset through purpose-driven training. And she's a deadset legend.In this episode, Olivia shares about her own hormonal battles. And she answers questions like...How has the toxicity of the fitness industry and diet culture damaged women's relationships with food and exercise?How can exercise be designed from a health-first approachWhat is LEA (low energy availability), and what are the long-term impacts on women, specifically women over 40.Topics discussed include:Exercise during perimenopause and menopauseHow to know if your exercise is working for you, not against youCreating positive change and shifting the direction of the fitness industryExercise with a health-first approachThe fitness industry is doing a disservice when the messages are ‘train harder, eat less'. So many women are doing their absolute best to follow this prescription because there's not enough evidence to prove that there could be a different way.We're bombarded with sexy sounding F45 shreds and challenges and 1200 calorie diets that are going to make our lives better and finally, we will have the confidence and feel the worthiness we're promised.Nope. A hormonal and health shit show? Most likely, yes.AND You need enough food to meet the demands not only of your exercise but of living. You need nutrition to support your training, your lifestyle, the stress of being a mum, an employee, an entrepreneur, a solo parent, a caregiver, a partner, a friend … all those stressors on top of training add up.The more you buy into eating less, and exercising more, the more you are taking yourself away from what you actually desire.LINKSOlivia Park Coaching - websiteOlivia Park Coaching - InstagramFemale Health & Performance CertificationPachinko - NetflixDear Menopause Episodes related to this topicNutritional Changes through perimenopause and beyondFitness, Wellness Wankery and the future of menopause careInformation on personal training with SonyaThank you for listening to my show!

In full transparency, I have a small email list of under 400 subscribers. What's more, my Instagram following is under 2000 followers. So how have I built a multiple six-figure business primarily using email marketing as my strategy? By leveraging my existing audience. In this episode, I get real about your strategy by refocusing your attention away from generating new leads and into converting your existing leads instead. I also share why your thought leadership will be the most important lead generation asset you have. Tune in and take notes as I discuss the importance of designing your thought leadership, and nurturing and preparing your email list prior to your launch so you can pull your hottest leads from your existing list into your high converting funnel.  “As long as they get pulled into the funnel that you want them to get pulled into that you created specifically for your launch. That's what matters.” “Too many times people get caught up when it comes to building their launch strategy. They want to build their email list before they launch. What's the real goal of that? Is it because you don't trust your conversion rates? You want to hit 20 people but you only have 50 and you don't trust that you can convert at that percentage? Get curious about that.” Here's a closer look at the episode:Why focusing on getting more leads is the wrong approachWhat it means to leverage your existing resourcesCapturing your hottest leads and pulling them into your high converting funnelHaving your thought leadership serve as your lead generation Resources:Finesse Your Funnel™ is now enrolling: https://roldancomarketing.thrivecart.com/finesse-your-funnel-program/ Finesse Your Funnel's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/finesseyourfunnel Kirsten's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kirstenroldan/ Apply for 1:1 coaching: https://hello.dubsado.com/public/form/view/60a96bb98a242ac59d4002faJoin my email list: https://saltandpeppersocial.lpages.co/email-list/

Mental health clinicians want to alleviate human suffering and do what we can to help prevent suicide. And yet, like many stigmatized topics, suicide is often avoided in conversations - including clinical conversations. Basic behavioral science tells us that we humans tend to avoid painful stimuli, and thanks to the double-edged sword of verbal behavior, painful stimuli (like conversations about suicide and suffering) can be both physical and psychological. Suicide stigmatization, as well as uncomfortable thoughts and feelings, can keep even the most experienced clinicians and providers from effectively helping their clients who are experiencing suicidal thoughts and behaviors. In this episode of Psychologists Off the Clock, Debbie and Sean Barnes, clinical research psychologist and principal investigator of the ACT for Life study, discuss suicidal behavior, ways suicide is challenging for clinicians, and how to effectively engage with clients who have thoughts and feelings related to suicide. As clinicians, we often have limited behavioral repertoires around suicidality in our clients. We often tend to focus on helping clients ‘not die.' However, there is more to life than ‘not dying,' and suicide prevention is only the first, albeit vital, step in recovery. Join us in this episode to learn how to help your client build a life worth living! Workshop for Therapists: Join Sean, Debbie, and their colleagues for ACT for Life: Experiential training on a Contextual Behavioral Approach to Suicidal Ideation and Behavior at the Association for Contextual Behavioral Science's virtual pre-conference workshop, June 12-13, 2021. Listen and Learn: Why it's important to talk more openly about suicideThe plethora of resources available for suicide prevention, postvention, and safety planningSome of the challenges for therapists in managing suicide risk and working effectively with suicide (and some insight as to why it can be so challenging)Sean and Debbie's expert, experienced-backed opinions about talking to clients about suicidal behaviors, risk, and safety planning.An Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) conceptualization of suicide and why this approach to conceptualizing suicide is unique compared to more traditional approachesThe function of suicidal behavior and why it's important to explore function as a clinicianAbout Sean's intervention, ACT for Life, and how he is targeting suicidal behavior from a contextual behavioral approachWhat creative hopelessness is, how to use it, and why it can often feel scary for cliniciansHow to implement mindfulness and acceptance into your clinical work with suicidal clientsWhat it means to expand someone's behavioral repertoire in the presence of suicidal thoughts and feelings About Sean Barnes: Sean M. Barnes, Ph.D. is a clinical research psychologist at the Rocky Mountain Mental Illness Research, Education, and Clinical Center (MIRECC) for Veteran Suicide Prevention and an assistant professor in the Department of Psychiatry at the University of Colorado Denver School of Medicine. Sean is a consultant for the Department of Veterans Affairs Suicide Risk Management Consultation Program and an Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) for Depression provider and training consultant. He is also the principal investigator of the ACT for Life study, testing a brief ACT protocol for maximizing recovery after suicidal crises. Other aspects of Sean's research focus on the use of contextual behavioral interventions for moral injury, and the study of suicide risk assessment, but all his projects share a common goal of alleviating suffering and helping others build vital meaningful lives.
