What if burnout isn't just a personal failure, but a leadership blind spot?In this third episode of our Built to Lead series, host Bridgit Norris sits down with Lexlee Overton—veteran trial lawyer, executive coach, and founder of Mind Over Law—for a conversation that goes far deeper than self-care clichés.You'll learn why exhaustion is baked into the legal culture, how to rewire your nervous system for clarity and performance, and what it really takes to lead without sacrificing your well-being.If you're done glorifying grind and ready to reclaim your energy, this episode offers the exact tools to start now. Don't wait for your body to force the change—this is your wake-up call.Key Takeaways from Bridgit and Lexlee:1. Prioritize Energy Before ProductivityBefore diving into your tasks, take a moment to check in with your energy levels instead of your calendar.By starting the day with a short practice, such as breathwork or intentional movement, you lay the foundation for sustainable focus and clearer decision-making.2. Replace Hustle with CoherencyInstead of powering through stress with more hustle, learn to create internal alignment. Practicing simple techniques like heart-centered breathing before a meeting or tough conversation helps regulate your nervous system and keeps your response intentional, not reactive.3. Time Audit to Reclaim HoursFeeling overwhelmed? Start with a week-long time audit, tracking your tasks in 15-minute increments.This will reveal where your time and energy are going—and more importantly, what you can delegate or eliminate to free up space for what matters most.4. Set a Team Baseline for Emotional Check-insTo prevent burnout from spreading through your team, embed emotional awareness into your weekly stand-ups.Begin each meeting with three prompts: share one win, one current challenge, and one way the team can support you—this builds a culture of trust and shared accountability.5. Reframe the “No Time” NarrativeIf your go-to thought is, “I don't have time,” pause and challenge it.Just three minutes of gratitude-focused breathing can reset your state, calm your mind, and boost your capacity, proving that restoration doesn't have to be time-consuming to be effective. "If you're showing up overwhelmed, you're impacting your team. Like that one: you're not performing, you're not delegating, you're not doing the things that you should be doing, and you also are impacting them in response to that." — Lexlee OvertonGet in touch with Lexlee Overton:Website: https://mindoverlaw.com/Show: Mind Over Law: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/mind-over-law-with-lexlee-overton/id1755386630LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/lexleeoverton/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lexleeoverton/Are you a high-achieving woman in law ready to become a powerhouse CEO?Then HER Law was built for you.

We first discuss how to understand human history as natural history, hunter-gatherer societies, and celibates and sterile castes in Neolithic societies. We then delve into the Roman empire, and talk about the role of eunuchs, emperors and their concubines, and the lives of slaves. We also talk about Medieval Europe, the roles of unmarried and celibate people in the Holy Roman Empire, what happened to bastards, Women's rooms in royal estates, the role of the Church, and the crusades. We discuss Magna Carta and the parliament in England, and how unmarried women were treated in England. We then explore the decline in promiscuity, and people writing against celibacy, as well as colonization and migration. Finally, we discuss what all of this tells us about the history of inequality, and the social role of monogamy.--A HUGE THANK YOU TO MY PATRONS/SUPPORTERS: PER HELGE LARSEN, JERRY MULLER, BERNARDO SEIXAS, ADAM KESSEL, MATTHEW WHITINGBIRD, ARNAUD WOLFF, TIM HOLLOSY, HENRIK AHLENIUS, FILIP FORS CONNOLLY, ROBERT WINDHAGER, RUI INACIO, ZOOP, MARCO NEVES, COLIN HOLBROOK, PHIL KAVANAGH, SAMUEL ANDREEFF, FRANCIS FORDE, TIAGO NUNES, FERGAL CUSSEN, HAL HERZOG, NUNO MACHADO, JONATHAN LEIBRANT, JOÃO LINHARES, STANTON T, SAMUEL CORREA, ERIK HAINES, MARK SMITH, JOÃO EIRA, TOM HUMMEL, SARDUS FRANCE, DAVID SLOAN WILSON, YACILA DEZA-ARAUJO, ROMAIN ROCH, DIEGO LONDOÑO CORREA, YANICK PUNTER, CHARLOTTE BLEASE, NICOLE BARBARO, ADAM HUNT, PAWEL OSTASZEWSKI, NELLEKE BAK, GUY MADISON, GARY G HELLMANN, SAIMA AFZAL, ADRIAN JAEGGI, PAULO TOLENTINO, JOÃO BARBOSA, JULIAN PRICE, HEDIN BRØNNER, DOUGLAS FRY, FRANCA BORTOLOTTI, GABRIEL PONS CORTÈS, URSULA LITZCKE, SCOTT, ZACHARY FISH, TIM DUFFY, SUNNY SMITH, JON WISMAN, WILLIAM BUCKNER, PAUL-GEORGE ARNAUD, LUKE GLOWACKI, GEORGIOS THEOPHANOUS, CHRIS WILLIAMSON, PETER WOLOSZYN, DAVID WILLIAMS, DIOGO COSTA, ALEX CHAU, AMAURI MARTÍNEZ, CORALIE CHEVALLIER, BANGALORE ATHEISTS, LARRY D.

Most people think red teaming is digital—until someone bypasses your locks, plants a Raspberry Pi in your server room, and walks out with your data. That's not sci-fi. That's White Knight Labs. In this episode, Ron talks with Greg Hatcher and John Stigerwalt, co-founders of White Knight Labs, a boutique offensive security firm built on real-world action. They share high-stakes red team operations—like triggering alarms and dodging police during a break-in—and explain why most companies are wide open to physical and insider threats. This isn't a theory. It's what's happening right now, and it's being executed with precision and purpose.   Impactful Moments 00:00 - Introduction 02:13 - Origin story of White Knight Labs 08:56 - Why physical red teaming is broken 12:20 - Breaking into a lottery facility 16:00 - Hiding from police mid-engagement 22:30 - Getting hired to breach from inside 25:45 - Hijacking code from offshore devs 33:29 - Real difference: red team vs pen test 35:00 - Get in touch with WKL   Links Connect with our guests!

Born in Montreal / Tiohtià:ke, he received his PhD at the DFG Graduate School 'Global Intellectual History' at the Friedrich-Meinecke-Institute in 2020. He is currently a Postdoc at the Department for History and Didactics of History at the University of Flensburg.  His monograph, A Badge of Injury: The Pink Triangle as Global Symbol of Gay and Lesbian Identities in the 20th Century was published by DeGruyter in 2023. It analyzes gay and lesbian transregional cultural communication networks from the 1970s to the 2000s, focusing on the importance of National Socialism, visual culture, and memory in the queer Atlantic. Provincializing Euro-American queer history, it illustrates how a history of concepts which encompasses the visual offers a greater depth of analysis of the transfer of ideas across regions than texts alone would offer. It also underlines how gay and lesbian history needs to be reframed under a queer lens and understood in a global perspective.

Send us a textThe weight of witnessing trauma daily doesn't just disappear when the uniform comes off. For our first responders—those who run toward danger while others flee—the psychological impact accumulates silently, often with devastating consequences.Beth Salmo, licensed professional counselor and owner of Thin Line Counseling, joins us to unveil the realities of mental health in emergency services. Drawing from her specialized experience working with police officers, firefighters, paramedics, and military personnel, Beth shares how the profession's culture of stoicism creates barriers to necessary care. Her journey into this work—sparked by the alcohol-related death of a former partner who was an ATF agent—reveals how even those trained to help others often struggle to seek help themselves.We dive deep into the misconceptions that keep first responders from therapy doors. "They can't take my gun" and "my department will find out" top the list of fears Beth dispels with clarity and compassion. She explains the iron-clad confidentiality that protects client-therapist relationships and how specialized clinicians understand the unique culture and challenges of emergency service work.The Missouri First Responder Provider Network emerges as a model program, connecting those in need with culturally competent therapists within days rather than the weeks or months typical of standard mental health services. This network of vetted professionals not only understands first responder culture but also provides financial assistance to ensure access regardless of economic barriers.Through authentic conversation peppered with unfiltered language that mirrors real first responder culture, Beth emphasizes that true strength lies in acknowledging human vulnerability. For those running toward danger every day, mental well-being isn't optional—it's essential maintenance that ensures they can continue serving when others need them most.You can connect with Beth through Thin Line Counseling by visiting www.tlc-help.com Follow her on Facebook www.facebook.com/thinlinecounselingservices and Instagram @tlc_help. She can be reached at beth@tlc-help.com or at 314.297.0331The Missouri First Responder Provider Network can be reached here: https://mofrpn.org/Freed.ai: We'll Do Your SOAP Notes!Freed AI converts conversations into SOAP note.Use code Steve50 for $50 off the 1st month!Disclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.

What if burnout wasn't a personal failure, but a sign that something bigger at the system level needs to change? In this episode of Legendary Leaders, host Cathleen O'Sullivan sits down with Kelly Swingler, the renowned “burnoutologist” and founder of the Burnout Academy, to uncover the truth behind today's burnout epidemic. With candour and compassion, Kelly challenges the norms that glorify stress and exhaustion, exploring why real burnout is so much more than long hours. It's about broken systems, shame, and outdated definitions of success.   Together, Cathleen and Kelly dive into the emotional realities of burnout, breaking down stigma and sharing personal stories of their own experiences. You'll discover why leaders are often the first to “burn the brightest and break first,” and how shifting our focus from individual fixes to systemic change is the real path to sustainable well-being at work. Filled with vulnerability, laughter, and bold truths, this episode offers both insight and a call-to-action: it's time to stop treating burnout as a weakness and start building workplaces and lives where well-being isn't just an afterthought. Episode Timeline: 03:27 Introducing Kelly Swinger, the "burnoutologist". 07:29 Burnout is the debilitating result of chronic stress 14:10 Leaders often misinterpret feeling overwhelmed or struggling as incompetence 19:47 Burnout is a global issue often caused by toxic workplaces 25:48 Living an unhealthy lifestyle can't be offset by minimal healthy activities 32:48 Many avoid discussing mental health as workplace stress rises 33:45 Burnout is often masked by other conditions due to stigma 56:27 Workplace freedom and creativity could reduce toxicity 01:07:35 Stressed leaders repeat outdated patterns 01:13:08 Leaders should focus on self-awareness and personal values over profits 01:20:20 Self-care routines can't cure burnout without genuine presence 01:24:49 Self-awareness and inner work are ongoing, challenging but rewarding. Key Takeaways:   Burnout is not just chronic stress or exhaustion, it's falling off the edge of your stress scale into a place that affects your whole life. Leaders and organisations must move beyond surface-level “well-being” fixes and tackle the root causes of systemic burnout. You can't “self-care” your way out of burnout, lasting transformation requires stopping, reflecting, and doing the deep inner work.   ABOUT Kelly Swingler Kelly is the Burnoutologist, empowering Leaders to Banish Burnout in the changing world of work for themselves and their people. She leads the world's number one Burnout Academy, training in Burnout Awareness. Known for being a rebel and a rule-breaker, Kelly has been ripping up the rulebook since 2002 after realising that the way we are working isn't working, and how we are taught to define success is outdated. Today, Kelly educates leaders, Coaches HR and managers from companies around the world on how to recognise, prevent and recover from Burnout.

Welcome to Here's the Caveat, the place where truth cuts through the noise, and leadership gets real.The idea that burnout is a badge of honor.We've been sold the myth that being exhausted, overwhelmed, and constantly on the brink of collapse somehow proves you're committed. That the longer you grind, the more legitimate you are. That if you're not sacrificing everything, you're not serious.Let me tell you the truth: Burnout is not leadership. It's a warning sign.And in this episode, I'm going to break down why burnout is not only unsustainable, but deeply ineffective. I'll show you how the Caveat mindset flips the narrative. How high performers can stay sharp, intentional, and impactful without burning out their purpose in the process.This isn't soft talk. This is the hard truth you need to build a life and business that actually lasts.So buckle up. Let's talk about why burnout is not a badge. It's a breakdown waiting to happen. And more importantly, what you can do about it today.

Send us a textRemember that feeling of escaping into comic books and Saturday morning cartoons as a kid? Comic-Con is the adult version of that same magic — a place where imagination takes center stage and your inner child can roam free without judgment.For me, growing up in rougher neighborhoods, I found solace in X-Men comics, Ninja Turtles episodes, and movies that transported me far from reality. Discovering Comic-Con as an adult felt like finally finding a home for that same wonder and enthusiasm.With Phoenix Fan Fusion (June 6-8) bringing heavyweights like Hayden Christensen, Kevin Smith, and Elijah Wood, and San Diego Comic-Con set to take over July with its can't-miss reveals, it's not just about star sightings — it's about reconnecting with the kid inside who still believes in heroes, villains, and epic storylines.This episode, we're diving into how Comic-Con can be that bridge between the nostalgia of our childhood summers and the responsibilities of adult life — and why we need those moments of pure, unfiltered enthusiasm more than ever.Tap in, share your own Comic-Con memories, and let's keep that inner kid alive.Thank you for listening now please go back and check out some of my previous episodes.Buzzsprout - Let's get your podcast launched!

It's part 2 with Comedian, actress, and Netflix star, Fortune Feimster and she's back overflowing with wild stories, deep moments, and Hollywood surprises. She kicks off with a musical confession that she once performed Goodbye Earl live with The Chicks and raves about vocal queens like Kelly Clarkson (the slimmed-down version) and Alanis Morissette, earning massive diva points. We had no idea Fortune could sing until she shocked everyone at Chumpaoke. But, she swears she's not releasing an album, but now we know there's a voice under that comedy crown. From coast to coast, Fortune has done over 200 cities and 150 shows annually. She opens up about the grind of tour life and how acting—like filming Netflix's FUBAR with Arnold Schwarzenegger—gives her room to breathe. Season 2 is wrapped and packed with more action (and more Fortune!). But what happens when Fortune invites reality design king Jeff Lewis into her home? CHAOS. What began as a quick two-week makeover turned into four months of filming Hollywood Houselift and poor Jax (Fortune's soon to be ex-wife) was not thrilled. "Jeff pokes the bear." Fortune laughs, revealing the duo's dynamic clash—funny, never nasty. And yes, Jeff once called Pol' “the worst f***ing client imaginable. Badge of honor? Then boom—Madonna. Jax, a die-hard fan and fellow Michigan native, finally got to meet her idol at a private, no-phones-allowed event. And get this: Madonna knew who Fortune was and had seen her comedy. “She was kind, gracious… everything,” Fortune says, holding back tears. Jax got to thank Madonna personally for her lifelong LGBTQ+ advocacy. Total bucket-list magic. It's not all emotion—there's fashion shade ahead in “Runway Rundown.” Fortune reacts to Harvey Guillén's ruffled Critics Choice look (also worn by Chris Perfetti) and Hannah Einbinder's vintage couture moment from Hacks, drawing comparisons to Lucille Ball meets Paris runway. “It's exaggerated, it's bold, and she's serving,” Fortune says. Then: trivia chaos. Fortune plays “It's a Fortune After All” and tries to guess: - Who bought a banana for $6.2 million? (New York) - Who made $100M for one movie? - Who owns the most expensive yacht? (It's not Trump) She aces it. Then we dish on viral hecklers like Natalie Cuomo, Fortune's own nightmare heckler during her Sweet & Salty Netflix taping, and the absurdity of Mandy Moore dragging Amazon for delivering to her burned-down house. Then things turn emotional. Pol' gives Fortune a powerful coffee reading, guiding her through something long buried—a personal hurt she's carried silently. He encourages her to release it and reclaim her full self. Put the chandelier back up, he tells her, metaphorically and literally. It's a deeply moving, soul-illuminating moment. In the final moments, Pol' offers a stunning insight: Fortune may be holding onto something from her past—a moment she stayed silent, something she needs to release to truly level up in her life and career. “It's about coming home to yourself,” he says, bringing the conversation full circle.

Funny enough, I've learned that the fastest way to move forward... is to slow down. I used to think being busy 24/7 meant I was crushing it—but really, I was just running in circles. In this episode, I share how stepping back, creating space, and being intentional has helped me grow faster (and feel way more human). Slowing down isn't laziness—it's strategy. When I stopped glorifying the grind and started focusing on what actually matters, everything changed. Turns out, rest is rocket fuel.

Send us a textWhat happens when someone with a criminal record becomes the police officer sworn to uphold the law? Detective Matt Thornton's remarkable story challenges everything we think we know about the people behind the badge.Growing up in a rough neighborhood where police were considered the enemy, Thornton's path to law enforcement began with his own arrest at age 21 for carrying an illegal firearm. Years later, driven by the need to provide for his daughter, he reluctantly took the police exam. Despite facing ridicule in the academy for his criminal record and ostracism from fellow officers who knew his background, Thornton persevered through 21 years of service, eventually specializing in narcotics enforcement before becoming a detective.What sets Thornton apart is his unwavering commitment to constitutional policing and treating everyone with dignity—regardless of their background or circumstances. Drawing from his unique perspective straddling both worlds, he speaks candidly about police misconduct, the importance of street knowledge, and why some officers struggle to connect with the communities they serve. Through his current work as a School Resource Officer and his youth organization "Home Away From Home," Thornton mentors young people facing the same challenges he once did.Thornton's philosophy is straightforward yet revolutionary in policing circles: "Everyone under the sun deserves respect." His willingness to call out problematic behavior while still serving as an officer makes him both controversial and essential in conversations about police reform. As he poignantly states, "Bad policing makes our job harder, puts us in danger."Looking for real talk about policing without the typical defensiveness or platitudes? This episode delivers powerful insights from someone who's lived on both sides of the thin blue line.#police #lawenforcement #cops  #bridgethegap #bethechange
