Podcasts about Balancing

AI is now a standing agenda item. It shows up in QBRs, board packets, and 2026 budget plans with a big expectation stamp on it. CMOs are being asked to operationalize it fast, prove value in workflows, and keep risk, governance, and tool sprawl under control. To get specific about what to prioritize next, Drew brings together Guy Yalif (Webflow), Andy Dé (Lightbeam Health Solutions), and Kevin Briody (DisruptedCMO). Together, they focus on how CMOs can move from scattered experiments to intentional AI adoption across people, process, and technology, and what it takes to make AI a trusted part of how marketing runs. In this episode:  Guy shares an AI fluency maturity model and explains why the shift to operational excellence is a change management challenge.  Andy breaks down agentic AI and workflow automation with examples from CI, outbound, RFPs, content, and AEO, using "why, what, how, so what."  Kevin focuses on the people and platform side, from job anxiety and culture to vendor shakeouts and MarTech-level discipline.  Plus:  Centering AI plans on people and fluency so it feels additive, not threatening.  Using councils, fast-track approvals, and guardrails to scale safely.  Balancing efficiency with human experience and customer acceptance.  Treating AI tools like core MarTech, with scrutiny around contracts, integrations, and vendor longevity. If you want your 2026 AI plan to feel like a strategic advantage instead of a collection of pilots, this conversation will help you decide what to run, what to scale, and what to skip.  Learn more about the CMO Startegy Labs ➡️ https://cmohuddles.com/strategy-labs Check out Firebrick ➡️ https://firebrickconsulting.com/ For full show notes and transcripts, visit https://renegademarketing.com/podcasts/ To learn more about CMO Huddles, visit https://cmohuddles.com/

A particularly difficult human challenge involves trying to balance a desire to be there for others – both those in our personal lives and in our society in general – and a desire to offer ourselves our own self-care. When these two needs are unbalanced, we and others tend to suffer because of it, largely based on the degree of the imbalance. Gratefully, the Buddha offered us many ways that we could address these competing needs through our mindfulness meditation practice, and develop a sense of peace and ease for both self, and others. This talk explores some of his most important teachings on this topic. It includes a meditation at the end.

Balancing activism with personal life and relationships can be difficult. At this crucial time in our history, activists are burning out when we need them the most. That's why this event with Kitty Stryker, who has spent two decades as a direct activist and a street medic during radical actions, is so timely.  Stryker, author of Love Rebels: How I Learned to Burn It Down Without Burning Out, has both burned it down and burned herself out. Trying to "show up bravely" as a leader despite exhaustion, she almost destroyed herself.  But now she says, "Activism does not demand martyrdom to be effective ... it's important to have some fun together!" She'll show us how to build effective teams composed of people with different backgrounds, interests, and abilities, while managing the inevitable internal conflicts. She will discuss how to inspire powerful action while keeping the team safe, how to nurture yourself and others while staying in the fight, how to make your most effective contribution, and how to decide when you truly need to take a break.  About the Speaker Kitty Stryker is the author of Love Rebels: How I Learned to Burn It Down Without Burning Out, three books on consent, and articles about activism and politics. She founded the Ladies High Tea and Pornography Society in London and has been a radical activist since she was ten.  Commonwealth Club World Affairs of California is a nonprofit public forum; we welcome donations made during registration to support the production of our programming.

The panel explored the intersection of natural and man-made materials in landscape design, highlighting the balance between aesthetic, sustainability, and functional concerns. Participants discussed how interior and landscape designers borrow nature to create cohesive environments, including outdoor “rooms” and hardscape features softened with plantings. Material selection — stone, metal, glass, composite decking, and synthetic turf — was debated, with attention to local sourcing, durability, environmental impact, and client expectations. The panel also emphasized the sensory experience of landscapes, touching on sight, sound, smell, and taste, and how design can evoke memory and emotion. Sustainability, fire safety, maintenance, and longevity were recurring themes, particularly in the adoption of synthetic materials that mimic natural ones while reducing environmental or upkeep costs. Borrowed landscape: Using surrounding natural colors and textures to inform material choices in hardscape design. Softening hardscape: Plantings and layered design to maintain depth without overwhelming the property. Context-appropriate material selection: Stone, metal, glass, gravel, and concrete chosen according to environment, use, and climate. Trend toward natural imperfection: Broken edges, less precision, biophilic design responding to a highly digital, precise world. Sustainability tensions: Balancing natural and synthetic materials for longevity, cost, and environmental impact. Synthetic decking and recycled composites: TimberTech and similar products for durability, low maintenance, and fire safety. Artificial turf considerations: High-use areas, water savings, lifespan, recycling challenges. Sensory-driven design: Sight, sound, smell, and taste incorporated into landscapes for holistic human experiences. Childhood memory and emotional recall: Design that evokes personal sensory memory for users. Fire and climate constraints: Materials must meet modern safety and insurance standards.

In this episode of The Jason Cavness Experience, Jason sits down with Hans Bjordahl, co-founder and CEO of Culture Foundry, to talk about digital transformation, experience-driven design, and what it really takes to build technology that serves people and organizations effectively. Hans shares his background in building and leading digital teams, how Culture Foundry approaches complex modernization projects, and why culture, process, and people matter just as much as technology.  He explains how many digital transformation efforts fail not because of bad tools, but because of misalignment between strategy, execution, and organizational culture.

This episode digs into practical frameworks for the ideal interview process, tips for avoiding common hiring pitfalls, and ways to structure assessments and team interviews to ensure long-term fit. John Arnold also reveals the personality traits and behaviors that signal an exceptional agency employee, while offering candid advice for managing generational divides and work-life balance in today's workforce. The conversation doesn't shy away from tough topics: Drew McLellan and John Arnold discuss red flags, deal-breakers, and why agency leaders must be upfront with candidates from the very start.   If you're ready to strengthen your agency's team, enhance your understanding of talent, and embrace data-driven hiring, this episode delivers the insights you need.

Travis kicks off a new solo format for Travis Makes Money, focusing on personal development and how becoming your best self is the real foundation for making more money and living well. He draws on years of relentless self-education—hundreds of books and countless podcast episodes—to share lessons from his own growth journey as a dad, entrepreneur, and competitor. In this episode, he uses parenting as a lens to explore legacy, habits, and the kind of person you must become if you want your kids to thrive. On this episode we talk about: Why the show is shifting to three episodes a day and what each format will cover How solo episodes will focus on personal growth and lessons from Travis's own journey The core question: “Would I be proud if my kids became me?” How kids absorb behaviors instead of advice, and what that means for parenting Balancing competitiveness with learning how to lose well (and what UNO reveals about character) Why your true legacy is your values, habits, and self-talk—not your bank account The danger of trying to spare your kids from pain and the importance of their “adventure” The “live like you're being watched” mindset for becoming a better human Top 3 Takeaways Your kids won't become who you tell them to be; they'll become who you are. The most powerful parenting tool you have is your daily behavior. The best inheritance isn't money—it's your self-talk, habits, standards, and values. Those intangibles will serve your kids far longer than any cash you pass down. Live as if your life is being filmed and copied by a billion people. If everyone lived like you did today, would the world be better or worse? Let that question guide your choices. Notable Quotes “Kids absorb behaviors, not advice. Your kids won't do what you say—they'll do what you do.” “Would I be proud if my kids became me?” “The best inheritance your kids can get from you is your self-talk, your habits, the standards by which you live your life.” Connect with Travis: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/travischappell Twitter/X: https://x.com/travischappell Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/travischappell Website: https://travischappell.com Travis Makes Money is made possible by High Level – the all-in-one sales & marketing platform built for agencies, by an agency.

What if the biggest risk to your marketing AI strategy isn't the technology itself, but the org chart it's fracturing? Agility requires more than just speed; it demands a framework of trust and collaboration. When it comes to AI, this means your ability to innovate is directly tied to your ability to partner effectively across the organization, especially with IT and security. Today, we're going to talk about a critical tension point in the modern enterprise: Marketing is moving at the speed of AI, adopting powerful, often low-code tools to drive results. But this speed creates new complexities and risks, disrupting traditional roles and processes. Success is no longer just about having the best tech stack; it's about forging a strategic partnership between the CMO and IT leaders to balance innovation with governance, and productivity with security.

"My teenage daughter looked at me. She said, 'Oh, Dad, you should put that in a folder called nobody cares.' Okay, not everything I learn will be in this book. And then the question became, 'What is Lin-Manuel learning from this story?' And if he's not learning anything from it, even if it's fun, it's got to go in the deleted scenes," says Daniel Pollack-Pelzner, author of Lin-Manuel Miranda: The Education of an Artists (Simon & Schuster).Daniel Pollack-Pelzner, the Notorius DPP, is charismatic as he is brilliant. Maybe some of that seasoning rubbed off on me. One can dream. He teaches English and theater at Portland State University. He received the Graves Award from the American Council of Learned Societies for outstanding teaching in the humanities. His work has appeared in The New Yorker, the Atlantic and the New York Times.Wanna know how sickening Daniel is? He has a BA in history from Yale and a PhD in English from Harvard. Gross. Ew, right? Ew. You can learn more about Daniel's disgusting intelligence and equally freaky contributions to the culture at danielpollackpelzner.com and follow him on IG at danielpollackpelzner.This conversation was so lively and great and we talk about: How he pitched Lin-Manuel Miranda on being his biographer Being driven by curiosity Having to earn scenes The “fun of it” framing Balancing salt, acid, fat, and heat Maintaining a sense of play with the work What Daniel learned from Lin-Manuel And taking the harsh feedback from trusted readersOrder The Front RunnerWelcome to Pitch ClubShow notes: brendanomeara.com

#763 What happens when your business is working… but suddenly feels harder than ever? In this episode, host Kirsten Tyrrel sits down again with Hope Trory of HopeWorksDesign.com to unpack the messy middle of entrepreneurship — when leads are coming in, clients are paying, and you're suddenly balancing delivery and marketing at the same time. Hope shares how to use client feedback (and their exact language) to sharpen your messaging, improve onboarding/offers, and increase retention — plus why memberships can be co-created without overbuilding. They also dig into the power of simple, reliable systems (not just “shiny” AI tools) to lighten the load, and how to avoid time-sucking distractions like endlessly switching CRMs. Hope wraps by sharing her freebies, including the Accessibility Checklist (a win for accessibility and SEO) and her ACE Marketing Assessment to pinpoint what to focus on next! What we discuss with Hope: + The “messy middle” phase + Balancing leads and delivery + Using client language in marketing + Feedback-driven offer improvements + Memberships without overbuilding + Simple, reliable systems + Avoiding shiny-tool distractions + Automations that save time + Retention before new leads Thank you, Hope!

"The tea house cannot lose its cultural roots."Zh: “但我们也要与时俱进，”玲提出反驳，“如果我们什么都不改变，会被时代抛弃。”En: "But we also need to keep up with the times," Ling countered. "If we don't change anything, we'll be abandoned by the era."Zh: 空气中弥漫着些许紧张。En: A hint of tension filled the air.Zh: 佳豪看着哥哥姐姐，不知道怎么缓解他们之间的分歧。En: Jiahao looked at his brother and sister, unsure of how to ease the rift between them.Zh: 他抿了一口热茶，鼓起勇气说道：“我们能不能融合一些新想法？不丢掉传统，只是让茶馆更加吸引人。”En: He took a sip of hot tea, gathered his courage, and said, "Can we blend some new ideas? Without losing tradition, we could make the tea house more appealing."Zh: 玲和明宇对视片刻。En: Ling and Mingyu exchanged a glance.Zh: 玲微微点头。En: Ling nodded slightly.Zh: “或许，我们可以试试，”她妥协道，“我们可以增加一些现代茶艺展示。”En: "Maybe we can try," she conceded. "We can add some modern tea ceremony demonstrations."Zh: 明宇思考了一会儿，也终于开口：“好吧，我们可以做出一些改变，但不能失去茶馆的精神。”En: Mingyu thought for a moment and finally spoke: "Alright, we can make some changes, but we can't lose the spirit of the tea house."Zh: 他补充道，“比如，我们增加一些新年特供，不过还是要围绕我们的传统一起来。”En: He added, "For example, we can introduce some New Year specials, but they must be centered around our traditions."Zh: 这番话让佳豪心里一松。En: These words brought relief to Jiahao.Zh: 他们三人开始谈论具体计划，茶馆空气中的冬日寒意仿佛也消散了几分。En: The three of them began discussing specific plans, and the wintry chill in the air of the tea house seemed to dissipate a bit.Zh: 在新年的准备中，他们达成了和解。En: In preparing for the New Year, they reached a reconciliation.Zh: 明宇认识到接受一些创新也是对祖母的另一种敬意，玲赞同护持家族传统能带来独特魅力，而佳豪在过程中找到了自己的声音，成为了两者的桥梁。En: Mingyu realized that accepting some innovation was another form of honoring grandmother, Ling agreed that preserving family traditions could bring unique charm, and Jiahao found his voice in the process, becoming a bridge between the two.Zh: 随着春节的临近，茶馆门口的红灯笼闪耀得更明亮了。En: As the Spring Festival approached, the red lanterns at the tea house entrance shone brighter.Zh: 屋内，茶香依旧，却多了一层新的味道，承载着三个兄弟姐妹共同的心血。En: Inside, the tea fragrance remained, but with an added new aroma, bearing the shared effort of the three siblings.Zh: 通过理解和尊重，他们终于为茶馆找到了平衡点。En: Through understanding and respect, they finally found a balance for the tea house.

In this episode of the How to Hunt Turkey podcast, Dan Johnson and Graham Cronin discuss the excitement surrounding turkey season, the application process for turkey tags in Wisconsin, and the balance between work and hunting. They share insights on post-hunt meals, youth hunting opportunities, and strategies for planning multi-state turkey hunts. The conversation delves into hunting techniques, including calling strategies, the importance of roosting turkeys, and final approaches to closing the distance. They also touch on gear and equipment preferences, along with personal hunting stories and experiences. Takeaways: Graham rates his excitement for turkey season as a 7 to 8. The NWTF convention in Nashville ramps up excitement for turkey hunting. Wisconsin has a unique turkey tag application process. Hunters can buy multiple tags in Wisconsin if available. Balancing work and hunting is crucial during turkey season. Post-hunt meals often include quick and hearty options. Youth turkey hunting opportunities allow kids to use tags throughout the season. Planning multi-state hunts requires careful logistics and timing. Calling techniques vary based on the time of year and turkey behavior. Using a backpack instead of a turkey vest can be more efficient. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Today's guest is Paul Cater. Paul is a veteran strength and conditioning coach with over 25 years of experience spanning professional baseball, collegiate athletics, and high-performance team environments. Paul is known for blending traditional strength training with rhythm, timing, gravity, and a deeply relational, art-driven approach to coaching. His work challenges purely formulaic or data-driven models and puts the live training session back at the center of athlete development. In an era where training is increasingly automated, optimized, and reduced to dashboards and numbers, it's easy to lose the human element that actually drives performance. This conversation explores how rhythm, feel, load, and coaching presence shape not just outputs, but adaptability, resilience, and long-term athletic growth. If you've ever felt that “something is missing” in modern training environments, this episode speaks directly to that gap. In this episode, Paul and I explore training as a live performance rather than a static program. We discuss using early isometric and axial loading as a readiness anchor, how downbeat rhythm and eccentric timing drive better outputs, and why chasing numbers too aggressively can undermine real performance. We dive into music, movement, art, and coaching intuition, and how creating alive, rhythmic sessions builds stronger athletes, and better coaches, without relying solely on rigid protocols or excessive monitoring.

Use uneven terrain and elevation to naturally regulate intensity instead of forcing outputs. Let the environment create variability rather than programming it artificially. Periodically remove mirrors, clocks, and screens to reconnect athletes with internal feedback. 6:00 – The role of community in training Training outcomes improve when athletes feel socially anchored. Design sessions where athletes work together rather than in isolation. Use shared challenges to build collective buy-in and accountability. View community as a performance multiplier, not a soft add-on. 12:15 – Performance and the observer effect Athletes change behavior when they know they are being measured. Use testing sparingly to avoid distorting natural movement. Train without constant feedback to preserve authentic effort. Recognize when measurement helps clarity and when it creates tension. 23:27 – Shifting training protocols Protocols should evolve with the athlete, not remain fixed. Regularly reassess whether a method still serves the athlete's needs. Avoid loyalty to systems that no longer produce adaptation. Let context, stress, and readiness guide training decisions. 32:32 – Balancing data and intuition Numbers inform decisions, but intuition completes them. Use data as a reference point, not the final authority. Trust experienced pattern recognition when data feels incomplete. Teach younger coaches how to observe, not just measure. 42:14 – Efficacy of isometric training Isometrics offer clarity, control, and nervous system regulation. Use isometrics to teach position awareness and intent. Apply them during deloads or recovery periods. Emphasize quality of tension rather than maximal force. 47:23 – Five-minute wonders Short, focused training can still drive adaptation. Use brief sessions to maintain rhythm during busy schedules. Prioritize intent and execution over duration. Stack small doses consistently rather than chasing long sessions. 53:28 – The art of adaptation Adaptation is individual, nonlinear, and context dependent. Avoid expecting identical outcomes from identical programs. Adjust based on response, not expectation. Respect that progress can look quiet before it looks obvious. 57:44 – Embracing the subconscious Much of performance operates below conscious control. Reduce over-cueing to allow automatic movement to emerge. Trust repetition and environment to shape behavior. Coach less, observe more. 1:28:06 – A playlist for performance Music influences emotional and physical rhythm. Use music intentionally to shape session tone. Match tempo to desired movement qualities. Allow athletes some ownership over the training atmosphere. Quotes from Paul Cater “Training is as much about remembering what we are as it is about building what we want to become.” “The moment measurement changes behavior, you have to question what you are actually training.” “Community is not separate from performance. It is performance.” “Coaching is an art because people are not repeatable systems.” “Isometrics give you honesty. There's nowhere to hide.” “Data can guide you, but it cannot feel the athlete.” “Adaptation does not care about your program, only your response.” “Sometimes the best thing you can do as a coach is stop talking.” About Paul Cater Paul Cater is a veteran strength and conditioning coach with over 25 years of experience working across professional baseball, collegiate athletics, tactical populations, and high-performance team sport environments. He has served in leadership and performance roles with organizations including Major League Baseball, NCAA programs, and private high-performance facilities, and is known for his ability to blend high-intensity strength training with rhythm, coordination, and ecological skill development. Paul's coaching philosophy emphasizes gravity, timing, and rhythm as foundational drivers of athletic performance. Rather than relying solely on rigid programming or isolated testing, his sessions are built around early exposure to meaningful load, isometric and inertial work, and rhythmic constraints that reveal readiness, alignment, and intent in real time. His work integrates elements of sprint mechanics, change of direction, elastic strength, and movement artistry to create training environments that are both physically effective and psychologically engaging. Currently working in a collegiate performance setting, Paul is deeply interested in coaching as a live, relational craft; treating each session as a performance that develops not just outputs, but awareness, adaptability, and ownership in athletes. His approach bridges traditional strength training with concepts from sport, art, music, and survival movement, offering a perspective that challenges purely automated or data-driven models of performance.

In this eye-opening conversation, Ohio businessman Justin Powell joins Aaron Renn to discuss his viral article “Dying to Give” — why waiting until death to pass on wealth is often the wrong move, and how thoughtful, early giving can build stronger families, businesses, and communities.Justin shares powerful real-life stories: a multi-generation gravel pit owner who's deliberately preserving two generations of reserves for his sons instead of chasing short-term profits, how he set his teenage boys up with $3,000 each to start lawn-mowing businesses (one made $35K in a summer), and why small, strategic investments at key “choke points” (home down payments, first business capital, financial literacy) can change the trajectory of a young person's life forever.Together they explore:- The massive $85 trillion wealth transfer happening over the next 20 years- Why asset ownership (homes, businesses, land) is becoming harder — and more important — than ever- How parents and grandparents can give wisely without spoiling kids- Balancing prudence (longevity, healthcare risks) with bold generosity and trust in God's provision- Real examples of leverage points where $5K–$20K today creates massive long-term impactWhether you're a parent, grandparent, business owner, or young person trying to get on the ownership ladder, this episode challenges the default “you'll get it when I die” mindset and offers a better way forward.Read Justin's entire "Dying to Give" article: https://www.aaronrenn.com/p/dying-to-giveCHAPTERS(0:00 Introduction)(1:26 The gravel pit family story: preserving two generations of reserves)(4:41 Setting kids up early — $3K investment → $35K summer earnings)(7:06 The mindset shift: prepare them now, not just at death)(9:06 The $85 trillion wealth transfer wave)(10:53 Upper-class family subsidies vs. the ownership ladder struggle)(13:24 Choke points: down payments, first businesses, college debt)(16:00 Timing matters — home equity winners vs. renters)(19:00 Wisdom over coercion: guiding adult children with small gifts)(21:52 Billionaire's car test & financial literacy approach)(23:51 Prudence vs. catastrophe planning: when to give boldly)(26:58 Time, talent, and treasure — character over cash)
