Podcasts about Atherton

In this inspiring episode, Michael welcomes leadership expert, author, and advocate Hacia Atherton to discuss her remarkable journey of reinvention, resilience, and impact. Hacia shares how a profound sense of peace during a 2023 visit led her to relocate from Australia to Florida. Her decision was shaped by speaking engagements, meeting her publisher, falling in love, and listening deeply to her own intuition as she entered a new chapter of life. Through her work with Empowered Women in Trades, she encourages others to embrace transitions with courage and authenticity. From Trauma to Triumph Through Positivity Hacia opens up about the devastating equestrian accident that left her with multiple fractures and nerve damage, and the powerful healing journey that followed. Drawing from positive psychology, she transformed her experience into a mission to help others thrive in their careers and lives. Michael relates through his own health scare, a heart attack at age 40, and they discuss how gratitude, mindset, and resilience can reshape recovery and fuel a renewed purpose. Women in Trades: Breaking Barriers and Building Pathways The conversation dives into Hacia's deep connection to the trades, shaped by her upbringing in a family plumbing business. After a welding accident first introduced her to the field, she realized the potential for women to thrive in these roles. Hacia identifies the barriers many women face entering trades careers and explains her work in bridging the gap between employers and female candidates. Her insights highlight the importance of industry awareness, supportive workplace cultures, and empowering women to step confidently into male-dominated fields. Leadership, Culture, and Hacia's New Book Michael and Hacia explore the themes in her new book, "The Billion Dollar Blind Spot," which examines workplace culture and how it impacts retention, engagement, and overall performance. They discuss what it means to lead with empathy, positivity, and psychological safety, especially within industries where women have historically been underrepresented. Hacia reflects on her personal leadership journey and the importance of cultivating environments where everyone feels valued. The episode also touches on her excitement about experiencing her first Thanksgiving in the United States.

The Atherton siblings built their careers on speed, resilience and control. What makes this bite sized episode powerful is how they used the same mindset to build a business. They went from dominating downhill racing to founding Atherton Bikes and taking ownership of their future rather than relying on sponsors or external decisions.In this segment they walk through the moment they committed to designing their own downhill bike. They teamed up with suspension engineer Dave Weigel and created more than one hundred prototypes to refine the fastest bike they could produce. They adopted 3D printed technology used in F1 and aerospace, built accuracy into every component and set standards that many brands avoid because they take too long.Their story highlights the discipline needed to shift from athlete thinking to business thinking. They learned to take calculated risks, build a team, trust specialists and stay patient through the early phases where nothing feels stable. Their approach shows founders what strong execution looks like. No shortcuts. No shortcuts. Just clarity, consistency and a willingness to build from the ground up.This is a valuable lesson for anyone at the early stage of a product idea. The Athertons show that excellence in performance transfers to excellence in business when you keep your standards high and your process simple.Key Takeaways:Calculated risks shape growth when backed by skill and preparationPrototyping reveals weaknesses quickly and strengthens final outputA strong team accelerates progress and keeps standards highInnovation grows when you learn from other industriesRacing discipline translates well into business disciplineOwnership creates independence and long term stability 

Hacia Atherton is the author of The Billion Dollar Blind$pot, global speaker, and the first female CEO of a major plumbing company in Australia. After surviving a near-fatal horse-riding accident, Hacia turned personal adversity into a global mission—founding Empowered Women in Trades and championing a new era of leadership grounded in psychological safety, inclusive strategy, and bold cultural reform across male-dominated industries.In our conversation, we talk about Hacia's family background as the fifth generation of a successful Australian business, and how the complementary strengths of her parents—her father's business discipline and her mother's creativity—have influenced and inspired her.We then follow an exploratory journey as Hacia heads toward commercial law, refines her choices, and consistently tests opportunities adjusting the mix of business and creativity until she's truly forging her own path and bringing everything she's learned to each new role.There's a wonderful moment on the shop floor, learning to weld, when a simple piece of feedback reframes her thinking about gender in trades—a spark that ultimately contributes to founding Empowered Women in Trades.Her story is brutally interrupted by a serious accident in 2017. We talk about the incident, her long recovery, and how she applied positive psychology to keep moving forward—demonstrating servant leadership even in rehab.Finally, we discuss her book, The Billion Dollar Blind$pot, which explores the link between workplace culture and financial performance.I loved getting to know Hacia through this conversation and I'm excited to share it with you. I look forward to hearing what resonates. We don't talk explicitly about Fulfilling Performance in this episode, but Hacia's story is a live example.

fWotD Episode 3122: Canoe River train crash Welcome to featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia's finest articles.The featured article for Friday, 21 November 2025, is Canoe River train crash.The Canoe River train crash occurred on November 21, 1950, near Valemount in eastern British Columbia, Canada, when a westbound troop train and the eastbound Canadian National Railway (CNR) Continental Limited collided head-on. The collision killed 21 people: 17 Canadian soldiers en route to the Korean War and the two-man locomotive crew of each train.The post-crash investigation found that the order given to the troop train differed from the intended message. Crucial words were missing, causing the troop train to proceed on its way rather than halt on a siding, resulting in the collision. A telegraph operator, Alfred John "Jack" Atherton, was charged with manslaughter; the Crown alleged that he was negligent in passing an incomplete message. His family hired his Member of Parliament, John Diefenbaker, as defence counsel. Diefenbaker joined the British Columbia bar to take the case, and obtained Atherton's acquittal.After the accident, the CNR installed block signals on the stretch of track on which the crash occurred. The railway later realigned the main line in that area, eliminating a sharp curve that prevented crews from seeing oncoming trains. Diefenbaker's successful defence of Atherton became an asset in his political rise. A number of monuments honour the dead.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 01:15 UTC on Friday, 21 November 2025.For the full current version of the article, see Canoe River train crash on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm standard Nicole.

In this inspiring episode, Sarah sits down with the "rather marvellous" Alex Atherton to explore his incredible journey from education leader to award-winning keynote speaker and author. After 25 years in education (including over 12 years as a secondary school head teacher), Alex took a leap of faith in 2018 to build something entirely new.What started as school consultancy evolved into coaching, then blossomed into a thriving speaking business that now generates the largest chunk of his income. Along the way, Alex wrote his debut book The Snowflake Myth, challenging negative stereotypes about Generation Z - the very students he spent years supporting in challenging inner-city schools.Key TakeawaysStart With Your Background (But Don't Stay There) - Alex emphasises that while you shouldn't limit yourself to your past, you absolutely must start there. His coaching clients weren't just educators - they were senior leaders across public sector organisations he'd worked alongside: police chiefs, NHS managers, local authority executives. The common thread? Complex, exhausting leadership roles that society needs done well.The 82% Reality Check - Alex credits understanding that "more of this journey is about marketing than being able to coach" as crucial to avoiding the 82% of coaching businesses that fail. Having expertise isn't enough - you need robust marketing systems and ongoing support.Business Evolution is Natural - From "coach who does some speaking" to "speaker who does some coaching" to "someone who knows about this stuff" - Alex shows how businesses naturally evolve when you stay open to opportunities and listen to market demand.Community Makes the Difference - The ongoing support network proved invaluable. As Alex puts it: "The game changes continually" - algorithms, pain points, client expectations all shift. Having engaged peers to navigate these changes together provides a crucial competitive advantage.About Alex's New BookThe Snowflake Myth challenges the tired stereotypes about Generation Z that Alex grew tired of hearing about his former students. Born from his speaking work, the book became his vehicle to engage with audiences far beyond education - from corporate leaders to farmers.Get your copy:
