What makes a story land in a corporate setting, and what kills it? In this episode, Dr Gian Power OBE breaks down why leaders who rely on facts alone fail to move people, how to structure a story that drives real behaviour change, and what the biggest enemy of good storytelling really is (what he calls “the explainer”). We explore the fine line between authentic vulnerability and performative storytelling, the neuroscience behind why stories change how people act, and how AI is already becoming a powerful tool for leaders who want to communicate with more impact.If you lead people, speak to audiences, or simply want to communicate with more impact at work, this episode is for you.

This experience became the catalyst for his mission – to make workplaces more human, connected, and emotionally intelligent. In 2025, he was awarded an OBE for services to Mental Health, recognising his transformative impact on leadership and workplace culture. Now a sought-after keynote speaker, Gian addresses global audiences on human leadership, wellbeing, and storytelling, helping leaders create trust, resilience, and high-performance cultures.

Josh Bandoch published a book on persuasion, influence, and leadership: How to Get What You Want: Mastering the Art and Science of Persuasion. I wish I'd had this book decades ago. It handles myths many people hold about persuasion that hold people back, then builds up the skills and theory to influence and persuade people effectively.It compiles many essential building blocks of persuasion and influence into one place.We talked about it at length in this episode. I recommend it, and would if I didn't know Josh B. In fact, our shared passion for learning, teaching, and coaching how to lead is a major piece of what connects us.From his book page:Life is about getting what you want. When you're negotiating a salary, buying a house, or talking politics with your uncle at Thanksgiving dinner, you're always after the best outcome.Learn from an expert how to get what you want in every situation—no matter who you're talking to.Your ability to get what you want depends upon your ability to persuade. Unfortunately, the way most people approach persuasion has the opposite effect: we double down on our own perspective and cite tons of facts to make our point—or even try to strong-arm people into giving in. None of this is persuasive. In reality, it pushes people away from us, making it hard or even impossible to get what we want.Persuasion expert Joshua Bandoch has spent over a decade uncovering the secrets of persuasion. He's mined psychology, neuroscience, economics, public policy, and history for cutting-edge techniques that actually work—and he's used them in speeches written for senior government officials, national leaders, business executives, and dozens of his own talks to audiences around the world.How to Get What You Want combines Bandoch's groundbreaking research with practical experience persuading at the highest levels to give you a fresh, surprisingly simple approach that will get you what you want and need when it matters by:Adopting the persuader's mindsetLearning proven techniques for making the most persuasive emotional and logical appealsUnlocking the secret formula for memorable and motivating storiesTapping into the power of tone, body language, and other subconscious signalsHow to Get What You Want teaches you how to navigate any political, professional, or personal situation more effectively to get optimal results each and every day.Josh's home pageHis book page Hosted on Acast.

The daughter of Holocaust survivors, Rosner recounts growing up in a home where six languages were spoken, exploring how psychotherapy, neurolinguistics, and creativity illuminate the complex ways we are shaped by the sounds and silences of others. Drawing on insights from journalists, podcasters, performers, translators, acoustic biologists, spiritual leaders, composers, and educators, this hybrid text moves fluidly along a spectrum from the molecular to the global, revealing how “third-ear listening” can serve as a collective means of deepening understanding and connection to the natural world. About the Author Elizabeth Rosner is a bestselling novelist, poet, and essayist. Her works include Survivor Café: The Legacy of Trauma and the Labyrinth of Memory, a finalist for the National Jewish Book Award, and the novel Electric City, named a best book by NPR.

Welcome back to Cryptic Chronicles. Tonight, we step into the strange space where intention meets reality, where thought becomes force, and where the ancient act of wishing is explored not as fantasy, but as something far deeper. Joining me is Brownell Landrum, author of The Art & Science of Wishing and founder of the Cosmic Wish Experiment. In this episode, we explore the hidden mechanics of desire, belief, and manifestation—asking whether wishes are just hopeful thoughts, or whether they may actually interact with consciousness and the fabric of reality itself. If you've ever wondered whether there's more to a wish than luck, this is an episode you won't want to miss.

Sally is the founder and CEO of Commonwell Marketing, a heart-centered marketing and leadership firm that helps nonprofits and rural health organizations stand out. A former brain injury rehabilitation therapist turned marketer, Sally brings a rare blend of art and science to her work—applying the neuroscience of belonging, trust, and human connection to marketing, communications, and leadership strategy. Key Takeaways: Sally's work sits at the intersection of neuroscience and marketing, showing that effective nonprofit communication isn't about doing more, but about doing less with intention—simple visuals, few words, and a clear emotional hook consistently outperform dense, information-heavy messaging. Emotion is the gateway to attention and memory. According to Sally, nonprofits have 2–8 seconds to spark an emotional response; if they start with data dumps, history lessons, or program lists, the brain simply checks out to conserve energy. Instead of trying to make people care, great nonprofit marketing finds and attracts people whose lived experience and “philanthropic heart” are already aligned with the cause—shifting from convincing and chasing to resonating and inviting. The “energy” behind communication matters just as much as the words: desperate, scarcity-based, or pushy outreach is neurologically and emotionally repelling, while servant leadership, curiosity, and genuine human connection build trust, oxytocin-driven bonding, and long-term engagement. Rural health organizations face unique pressures—funding volatility, hospital closures, staffing shortages—but Sally stresses that no amount of new programs or technology will transform outcomes without strategic, trust-building communication that makes patients feel seen, safe, and confident choosing local care. “More stuff for the sake of stuff is not what the world needs from marketers.”  “There has to be something in it that triggers a neural response in our brain of emotion… at roughly two to eight seconds, you've got to capture an emotion enough to get attention, then people's brains start to wander.” “There is no transformation without engagement and connection, because they don't know that you have a cool new telemedicine, or who it's for, or… why would I want to trust it?” – Sally Mildren Reach out to Sally Mildren at: Website: commonwellmarketing.com / theleadershipcafe.com YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@christiansforimpact/videos Book: https://www.christiansforimpact.org/getbook       Let's Work Together to Amplify Your Leadership + Influence1.

In this vibrant episode, host Ashish Kothari welcomes "reinventability queen" Nataly Kogan. Nataly's journey is a masterclass in metamorphosis—from arriving in the US as a refugee to a career at McKinsey, venture capital, and tech entrepreneurship, and now her ultimate evolution as a professional artist and speaker. They dive deep into Nataly's Reinventability Framework, a structured yet creative approach to becoming more of who you are meant to be. This episode is for anyone feeling stuck in a career that looks good on paper but feels soul-crushing, and for leaders looking to foster a culture of growth and innovation.Main Topics CoveredDefining Reinventability: Why reinvention isn't about becoming someone new, but about uncovering the dimensions of yourself that have been waiting to emerge.Step 1: The Zone of Greatness: How to find the intersection of what you love, what you're great at, and where you want to have an impact.Step 2: Possibility-Driven Thinking: Moving from a "map of obstacles" to a "map of possibilities" by quieting the brain's negativity bias.Step 3: Challenging Limiting Beliefs: Using the story of a world-record hot dog eater to prove that psychological barriers are just stories we tell ourselves.Step 4: Act to Learn: Why clarity and confidence only emerge after action, and how to use 14-day "activation sprints."Step 5: Evolve and Experiment: Lessons from James Dyson's 5,126 "failures" and the importance of measuring progress backwards.The Alchemist & Personal Legends: The spiritual and psychological cost of rejecting your true calling.Key TakeawaysAuthentic Impact: Just because your work is impactful for others doesn't mean it's meaningful for you. True flourishing requires the bridge to be built on both sides.Greatness is Effortless: Your "Zone of Greatness" often involves things that come so easily to you that you might discount them as "not real work."Action Creates Clarity: Stop trying to plan your way into a new life. Take small, "pivotal experiments" to generate the data you need to move forward.Measure the Gain, Not the Gap: Looking at how far you have to go kills motivation. Looking back at the actions you've taken this week builds the "blocks" of confidence.The Cost of Inaction: Staying disconnected from your personal legend is a primary source of mental and physical suffering.Connect with the GuestWebsite: NatalyKogan.comLinkedIn: Nataly KoganBook: It's Okay to Be Awesome / Happier Now

Daniels interviews Malkoski about how Graco mitigated tariff-related price increases, how the brand is increasingly using AI to help dial in what prices a customer is comfortable paying, and how brands and retailers work together to align on pricing and assortments. Their conversation also gets into: The product development teams that play a role in keeping pricing competitive and affordable  How AI is changing the way Graco approaches customer personas  The ways Newell Brands works with retailers to help inform pricing and layout strategies that move units

The new semi-autobiographical play “The Reservoir” spins a comedic narrative around cognitive reserve, the idea that doing brain-stimulating activities can prevent or delay the onset of dementia symptoms. It's currently running at the Atlantic Theater Company and co-produced by The Ensemble Studio Theater in New York.*  Host Ira Flatow talks with playwright Jake Brasch about his inspiration for the play and how to mesh science into the theater.  Then, neurologist Marilyn Albert discusses some of the latest science of mental stimulation and dementia. After following a diverse group of older adults for 20 years, her research found that a modest amount of specialized cognitive training reduced dementia risk by 25%. You can try a very similar brain training exercise at home.  *“The Reservoir” received funding from the Sloan Foundation, which also helps support Science Friday. Guests: Jake Brasch is a writer, performer, composer, clown, and writer of the new play “The Reservoir.”  Dr. Marilyn Albert is a professor of neurology and director of the Alzheimer's Disease Research Center at Johns Hopkins Medicine.Transcripts for each episode are available within 1-3 days at sciencefriday.com.

Since the advent of the MoneyTalk show we've discussed the art of portfolio management, but there is also a science behind the methods asset managers employ. Nathan discusses how different asset allocation strategies can used to achieve specific investment goals. Also on MoneyTalk, highlights from Scott Patterson's “Chaos Kings: How Wall Street Traders Make Billions in the New Age of Crises”, and why many companies today choose stock buybacks over paying dividends.

Recorded live at SocialPacific 2025 in North Vancouver, Ben Wise and Darren Chiu, co-founders of Captivate, join guest host Rachel Thexton to explore the art and science of human behavior.Captivate translates academic psychology into practical tools for marketers, sales teams, and leaders, helping them communicate in ways that actually move people.They unpack why most marketing falls flat by being overly rational, how emotional decision-making really works, and why storytelling, including friction, consequences, and vulnerability, remains one of the most powerful tools in business. Because whether you're selling to consumers or corporations, you're always selling to a human.Produced by TAKT.

Our hormones are essential to our mental and physical health, yet we often don't understand (or we minimize) the key role hormones play in fostering our wellbeing. And to make matters worse, many--or dare I say most – medical practitioners are not given adequate training when it comes to understanding the role hormones play in the health of our bones, heart, muscles, and brain. And when our bodily systems are not functioning well – whether we're experiencing issues such as a lack of focus, sleep disruption, weight gain, or low libido – our mental health can be deeply affected. Today, I'm joined by a top medical expert, Carrie Levine, who will help us discover key components of HRT (hormone replacement therapy) and so much more. Topics discussed include mental heath, depression, psychotherapy, support, physical health, hormones, HRT, hormone replacement therapy, estrogen, progesterone, progestin, DHEA, HPA Axis, cortisol, stress, stress management, exercise, resistance training, weight training, carbohydrates, protein, testosterone, Women's Health Initiative, menopause, perimenopause, post-menopause, relationships, A1C, blood glucose, sex, and libido.

The voices telling you it won't work usually belong to people who never tried. Nobody gives you permission to take a chance. You just do it.Chris built a 50K MRR business without a formal education, a tech background, or a plan. As an actor, a car dealership paid him $400 to be in a commercial and he thought, "If I can pretend to do this, what happens if I just actually do it?"From there it was taking on teaching himself APIs, webhooks integrations, and enough failures to make most people quit. He's now responsible for 40% of some dealerships' bottom lines, working remotely from Ottawa, heading to Costa Rica.We talked about why people don't take that first step. Chris's take is it's mostly the room you're in. When you move somewhere nobody knows you, the risk calculus changes. The voices telling you you're going to look stupid usually belong to people who never left.We also got into social media, the throttled notification drip sequences designed to keep you coming back, the rage bait economy, the positive reinforcement loop that rewards the most outrageous behavior. His advice was simple: put your phone down and tackle your life goals head on.Chris also hosts Bad Hombres TV on YouTube.

Dr. Raymond Barnhill on Diagnostic Drift, Uncertainty, and the MPATH-Dx V2.0 Approach to Melanocytic LesionsIn this episode of The Girl Doc Survival Guide, Christine interviews Dr. Raymond Barnhill, a world-recognized dermatopathology expert known for work on diagnostically challenging melanocytic lesions, melanoma pathology references, and contributions to WHO skin tumor classification and AJCC melanoma staging. Dr. Barnhill shares career anecdotes and key communities at Yale and in Boston, collaborations with numerous melanoma leaders, and the founding of the North American Melanoma Pathology Study Group and the International Melanoma Pathology Study Group, as well as participation in the NIH-funded MPATH Study Group. The discussion focuses on overdiagnosis, underdiagnosis, and diagnostic discordance in melanocytic lesions, including evidence of diagnostic drift toward calling more lesions melanoma over time and the overlap between melanoma criteria and atypical/dysplastic nevi. He describes MPATH research, explains the revised MPATH-Dx V2.0 schema, explicitly recognizing uncertainty along a continuum rather than a strict benign/malignant threshold. He emphasizes practical diagnostic approaches including measuring lesion size (noting a 4 mm threshold associated with conventional dysplastic nevi and increasing concern at larger sizes), focusing on key architectural features (junctional nest variation/disarray and lentiginous proliferation), using nuclear size relative to keratinocyte nuclei (including a 1.5× threshold and counting atypical cells per high-power field) while accounting for site-specific pitfalls such as scalp nevi. The conversation also covers “gestalt” versus systematic review, the importance of due diligence using full clinical and morphologic information before ancillary testing, and cautions against overreliance on immunohistochemistry or molecular tests. Dr. Barnhill closes with career advice ends with a message that setbacks can be opportunities for growth.00:00 Welcome + Meet Dr. Raymond Barnhill (Dermatopathology Legend)01:51 Career Origins & Melanoma Pathology Mentors (Yale → Boston)03:59 Building Melanoma Pathology Study Groups (North American & International)05:57 Overdiagnosis, Diagnostic Drift & Why Discordance Happens09:43 Inside the MPATH Study: Measuring Interobserver & Intraobserver Agreement11:39 MPATH-Dx V2.0 Explained: Standardized Classes & Treatment Guidance13:59 Redefining “Low-Risk” Melanoma: Stringent pT1a Criteria + Embracing Uncertainty18:47 Practical Grading Tips: Lesion Size, Architecture & Nuclear Atypia Thresholds22:42 Gestalt vs Due Diligence: Avoiding Traps + Using IHC/Molecular Wisely (PRAME)28:39 Career Advice: Passion, Mentors, Community + Final Reflections
