Podcasts about Balancing Act

In January 2023, Magistrate Judge Megan Marshall expanded the gag order in Bryan Kohberger's murder case so that it applied not only to prosecutors, defense attorneys and law enforcement, but also to attorneys representing witnesses, victims and victims' families. The amended order barred those lawyers from making public comments about the case beyond quoting or referring to information already contained in official court records, and even prevented them from publicly discussing the victims' character. Although the victims and their relatives themselves were not expressly forbidden from speaking, the order had the practical effect of limiting their public voice because several families had relied heavily on attorneys to communicate with the media amid the enormous attention surrounding the murders.The expansion quickly raised First Amendment concerns, with legal and media experts questioning whether the court had gone too far in restricting attorneys who represented victims rather than the prosecution or the accused. Critics argued that preventing those lawyers from speaking could reduce public scrutiny of the criminal justice process and indirectly restrict the press by cutting off important sources of information. Supporters of tight restrictions could point to Kohberger's right to a fair trial and the extraordinary pretrial publicity surrounding the case, but experts noted that gag orders were not necessarily effective at neutralizing publicity and that restricting victims' representatives was considerably more unusual than limiting prosecutors and defense lawyers. The controversy therefore became an early example of the difficult balance in the Kohberger case between protecting an impartial jury and preserving the victims' families' ability to speak publicly about a prosecution that had already become a national media phenomenon.

Episode 5604: Bessent Balancing Act; Is The Economy Becoming An Unsolvable Problem

What are you pretending not to know about your own leadership — and what is it costing you?  In this episode of the Balancing Act podcast, Andy speaks with Mike Staver, executive coach, Speaker Hall of Fame inductee, and author of Leadership Isn't for Cowards and the just-released Navigating Crazy.  For more than thirty years, Mike has helped leaders close the gap between their good intentions and their actual results. His case here is that most of the stress we carry doesn't come from our circumstances at all — it comes from the distance between what we expected and what actually is, and from the things we know to be true but keep living as though we don't.  Tune in to episode 259 to hear the high school choice that cost Mike two brutal weeks and set his work ethic for life, why acceptance and approval are not the same thing and why confusing them keeps capable leaders stuck, and the coaching conversation Mike would have with the person who looks successful from the outside and is quietly running on empty.  AndrewTemte.com

Liz Ann Sonders and Collin Martin begin this episode by analyzing the powerful role earnings are playing in driving the U.S. stock market higher and what that means for investors. Liz Ann highlights that S&P 500 earnings growth is tracking around 51% for the second quarter, an unusually strong pace outside of a post-recession recovery. Collin explains why Schwab expects a "higher-for-longer" rate environment, with short- and longer-term Treasury yields likely remaining elevated as the economy stays resilient and inflation remains above the Fed's target. Then Collin sits down with former Federal Reserve Vice Chair Dr. Richard Clarida. They discuss how the Fed thinks about inflation, labor markets, supply shocks, productivity, and AI. Clarida argues that policymakers are trying to determine whether today's inflation pressures are temporary or indicative of a higher underlying trend. He also discusses the transition to new Fed Chair Kevin Warsh, potential changes to Fed communications, and why AI could be inflationary in the near term but ultimately disinflationary through improved productivity over the next several years.

What if the problem isn't that you're distracted, but that nobody ever trained you in the one thing you can actually control?  In this episode of the Balancing Act podcast, Andy speaks with Dr. Justin Anderson, founder and CEO of Premier Sport Psychology and author of Intentional Attention: The Science and Practice of Focus Under Pressure, a licensed psychologist and certified mental performance consultant who has spent more than twenty years with NFL quarterbacks, Olympians, and executives.  His case is that attention is more controllable than confidence or emotion — a trainable skill rather than a fixed trait — and that for people who never really stop, the question is no longer how to find work-life balance but how to recharge while running.  Tune in to episode 258 to hear the job Justin didn't get that redirected his entire career, what context switching is quietly costing you on a day spent bouncing between projects and new tools, and why a book about training focus ends with renewal — and what that actually looks like for someone who can't simply take more time off.  AndrewTemte.com

In episode two of our countdown to the Boss Lady Women's Leadership Conference, Teresa and Jennifer tackle one of the most talked-about themes in this year's Women in the Workplace survey: work-life balance. They challenge the idea of "balance" itself, asking whether boundaries and intentional choices might be a more honest goal than an ever-tipping scale. Through candid stories about the boundaries they've set and re-set, Teresa and Jennifer offer a grounded, human take on managing competing demands without losing yourself in the process.CONNECT WITH US:Connect with Teresa on LinkedIn: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/teresarand⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Back Porch Communications (Jennifer Roberts): ⁠⁠⁠https://www.backporchcom.com/⁠⁠⁠Learn more about Boss Lady events and coaching at Ladder Network:  ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.laddernetwork.org

Kenny Polcari recaps key market moves over recent weeks to explain how earnings reinforce market strength for Big Tech and beyond. However, brace for volatility, as Kenny points out that August tends to be a low volume month that attributes to bigger-than-expected swings. Something else to watch for: "bad news is good news" becoming "bad news is bad news" for the Fed. Kenny explains that while last week's negative jobs print suggests greater likelihood for interest rate cuts, it will come back to bite if trends continue. That said, he tells investors to stay in AI names, making the case that the trade is far from over. ======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Subscribe to the Market Minute newsletter - https://schwabnetwork.com/subscribeDownload the iOS app - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/schwab-network/id1460719185Download the Amazon Fire Tv App - https://www.amazon.com/TD-Ameritrade-Network/dp/B07KRD76C7Watch on Sling - https://watch.sling.com/1/asset/191928615bd8d47686f94682aefaa007/watchWatch on Vizio - https://www.vizio.com/en/watchfreeplus-exploreWatch on DistroTV - https://www.distro.tv/live/schwab-network/Follow us on X – https://twitter.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/schwab-network/About Schwab Network - https://schwabnetwork.com/about

What if the fastest way to fail at AI is to treat it like a race?  In this episode of the Balancing Act podcast, Andy speaks with Don Gregori, Chief Operating Officer of First Factory and author of The Emergent Leader: A Guide to Brand Building, Leadership, and Self-Mastery.  Don makes the case that leadership starts on the inside and that most AI failures are leadership failures wearing a technology costume — that empathy is operational rather than soft, that bolting AI onto a process you have never questioned is the fastest route to the pile of projects that quietly fail, and that the leader who runs on four hours of sleep is not being tough, just expensive.  Tune in to episode 257 to hear the rocket-booster moment Don credits to his wife rather than to any career move, the advice he gives a newly promoted manager who is terrified of breaking the very thing that made them good, and why a book about building durable companies ends with the durability of the leader.  AndrewTemte.com

There is something strange in the space between languages. I'm not sure exactly what it is, but it's fun to explore. It poses a question and presents a challenge…what am I actually trying to say here? When I started work on a video about the relationship between sensitivity and creativity for this year's HSP Gathering in Oulu, Finland, which happened a few days ago as I’m recording this, I didn't really think about the process of translating it from English into Finnish for the subtitles. I assumed it would be a straightforward part of the process, which it could have been on one level, given the technology we have at our fingertips these days, where language translation can happen more or less instantly. But it doesn’t take much for meaning to go adrift in the basic translation these tools provide. I was grateful for human assistance, as my friend Tuula was on hand to translate. My gratitude was not only because of her bilingual skills, but because I know she understands what I'm trying to say beneath and beyond the words. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2m3wHlXyQ6E Good Translation is About More Than The Right Words It seems obvious that translation requires far more than vocabulary, grammar, and syntax across multiple languages. An idiom or joke in one language might be complete gobbledegook when translated directly into another. But when the translator understands the two cultures, including the soul of their humour and their general relationship with tone and subtext, they can find appropriate options to bridge intent so it makes sense across the linguistic surface. Even with its sophisticated capabilities, there were a bunch of times when an initial chatbot translation missed the heart of my words. It made several incorrect assumptions and predictions about my intended meaning without any basis or clarification. Fortunately, Tuula felt this too, and we were able to hone our way to better ways of expressing what I meant. This was extra challenging when some of the original ideas and wording were intentionally poetic and infused with ambiguity. Machines are often eager to sand down nuance and replace it with familiar clichés and well-worn turns of phrase. The whole process showed me the importance of having someone who knows me and understands my ‘thinking’ for a task like this. This principle might apply to a range of contexts and situations in life. Who we are can get lost in a bad translation and found in a good one. Translating The Highly Sensitive Experience I believe this is one reason so much of the creative coaching I do is with highly sensitive and more introverted people. It’s a translation issue. In a world that makes many assumptions about what ‘normal’ looks like and assumes the goal is to fit the mould to get on in life, I tend to work from the premise that it’s not us that doesn’t fit society; it’s usually society that doesn’t fit us. I don’t do this to cultivate an ‘us versus them’ mentality. Quite the opposite, in fact. We are attempting to translate across a bridge, which so often leaves us misunderstanding one another. Likewise, I am very aware of the language used to describe the trait of high sensitivity. In the introduction to the HSP Gathering film I shared on Saturday, I talked about how adopting language around sensitivity has helped us better understand ourselves and our experiences alongside others. But while we have the trait of sensitivity in common, it also takes unique forms for each of us. That shared language can only take us so far, and we don’t want to overdo it. High sensitivity isn’t an identity or a personality type, nor does it dictate what we should like, value, or create. Over the years, I’ve noticed how easily one person’s experience of sensitivity can become the dominant narrative, leaving others wondering whether they’re a “proper HSP”. The Balancing Act in Translating Our Experiences The translator plays an important role in bringing their cultural understanding and experience, without letting it outrun the intention behind the person’s words. And as highly sensitive people, I think we’ve got to be aware of this in the way we listen to and interpret HSPs. To put the person first. That’s why I’m drawn to stories and anecdotes individuals share about their experiences of sensitivity. Not to universalise the experience or assume it’s the same for everyone, but to open the door so that each of us can feel at home with our differences. Which is what I wanted to do with the film I shared at the gathering. “It Just Sort of Happens” is a series of stories about the relationship I’ve noticed between my sensitivity and creativity, and how they have helped me make sense of the world, my personal experiences, and myself throughout my life. I wanted to use the stories as examples to help others map their own experiences and notice what they hear beneath the surface of my words. If you’d like to watch it, I’ll be sharing it in The Courtyard on Sunday, when we’ll also chat about any comments and questions afterwards. Learn more about it and register for your free Courtyard Membership (there will be a replay for those who can’t make it live).

At the height of summer, we head to the mile-high city to think more about cultivating place at elevation: human-made and natural elevations, in the service of people and their places. We're in conversation with Professor Jennifer Bousselot, who leads the Green Roof and Urban Agriculture Program, Growing Food for People and Pollinators, at Colorado State University. Dr. Bousselot is motivated by balance. The author and co-author of many titles, including Trees & Shrubs of Colorado and Trees and Shrubs of New Mexico, she has also published widely on the power (pun intended) of green roofs and agrivoltaics, a stacking-functions, mixed-use approach that combines solar power and agriculture. And that's all while introducing students to the mix. Join us! Cultivating Place now has a donate button! We thank you for listening over the years, and we hope you'll continue to support Cultivating Place. We can't thank you enough for making it possible for this young program to grow and engage in even more conversations like these. The show is available as a podcast on SoundCloud and iTunes.

With a wave of accountants heading for retirement and AI reshaping the profession, is accounting still a smart career bet?  In this episode of the Balancing Act podcast, Andy speaks with Hugh Martin — founder of Procountancy and a CIMA Case Study specialist who prepares finance professionals in more than 45 countries to earn the CGMA designation.  Together they get behind the acronyms to management accounting itself — the “business partner” role, why a U.S. CPA might add the CGMA, and the human skills no algorithm can replace.  Tune in to episode 256 to hear why Hugh tells a nervous twenty-year-old that accounting is still worth it, how the CGMA builds the business acumen that earns a bigger seat at the table, and the two-euro rounding error he'd tell his younger self to stop losing sleep over.  AndrewTemte.com

What does a country actually lose when it makes it harder for the world's top talent to build a life there?  In this episode of the Balancing Act podcast, Andy speaks with Vasanthan “Vas” Ramakrishnan — founder and principal consultant of Ascend HSI Advisory Partners, who helps high-skilled scientists, engineers, researchers, and founders navigate the extraordinary-ability pathways into the U.S., and who earned his own green card the same way.  Together they draw the line between wage arbitrage and genuine talent mobility — and make the case that a freer flow of skilled expertise tends to make economies stronger, not weaker.  Tune in to episode 255 to hear how Vas turned a job lost during COVID into an award-winning global nonprofit, why he tells anxious American workers that keeping talent out won't protect them, and the reframe at the heart of his work: he doesn't make his clients extraordinary — they already are.  AndrewTemte.com

This week, Sarah Sheridan talks with Lewis Krell from Happiest Baby, the company behind SNOO, to talk about sleep deprivation, employee benefits, paternity leave, and why the newborn stage is not just a home issue. It is a workplace issue too. Because when parents come back exhausted, that shows up everywhere. In retention. In burnout. In performance. In whether they feel supported enough to stay.

In this episode of Iraqi Voices, the hosts unpack Prime Minister Zaidi's five-day visit to the United States amid nearly 50 agreements signed with American government institutions and firms and discuss whether they can materialize into projects on the ground. The hosts also examine Zaidi's upcoming first official visit to Tehran, debating whether the back-to-back Washington-Tehran itinerary undermines or reinforces Iraq's delicate balancing act between the two rival powers. With the September 30th deadline for the disarming of resistance factions looming, they explore the pressure Zaidi faces from Washington and what he needs from Iran.Finally, the team covers the latest in Iraq's anti-corruption campaign, including raids connected to prominent Coordination Framework figure Ahmed Al-Asadi, and what the slow trickle of elite-level arrests signals about the trajectory of Zaidi's reform agenda.

What if you've been chasing success backwards? What if joy isn't the reward you earn after hitting your goals — but the foundation that makes hitting them inevitable?  In this episode of the Balancing Act podcast, Andy speaks with Bose Akadiri — motivational keynote speaker, corporate trainer, and founder and CEO of Goal and Grind LLC, where she's known as “The Joy Amplifier.”  After a decade leading corporate social responsibility at Boeing, Salesforce, and JPMorgan Chase, she wrote The Stay Joyful Method to make the business case for joy — not as a feel-good perk, but as a strategic advantage that drives retention, sharpens clarity, and moves the numbers leaders actually care about.  Tune in to episode 254 to hear why the strongest performers spend time backstage before they take the main stage, how the “joy bubble” becomes a force field when work gets hard, and what it looks like to lead with joy that has a spine — joy that's results-driven and impossible to dismiss as soft.  AndrewTemte.com

It's to help you change.Timestamps00:00 Meeting Clients Where They Are03:04 The Balancing Act of Coaching05:58 Understanding Client Needs and Goals08:59 The Importance of Meal Plans11:51 Execution Over Macros15:11 Teaching Skills for Success17:51 Capacity for Change in Clients20:54 Strategies for Beginners24:07 Long-Term Client Transformations29:51 Client Readiness for Change32:20 Building Confidence in the Gym35:34 Challenging Comfort Zones39:44 The Importance of Feedback46:44 Coaching Beyond Comfort ZonesLinksApply for Coaching: https://form.typeform.com/to/ubUfJiEu?utm_source=podcastLiving Lean Podcast: https://www.buzzsprout.com/712032Follow Jeremiah on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jeremiahbair/Follow Andrea on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/andirogersfit/Follow Natalie on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/natalieatswell/Keywordscoaching, client progress, meal plans, nutrition, behavior change, fitness, coaching strategies, client goals, individualized coaching, capacity for change client readiness, gym confidence, feedback, coaching, comfort zone, nutrition, exercise selection, personal training, mindset, client progressTo Apply For Coaching With Our Team: CLICK HERE

Fluent Fiction - Danish: Balancing Acts: A Stormy Day at Tivoli Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/da/episode/2026-07-10-07-38-20-da Story Transcript:Da: Søren kiggede op mod de truende skyer, mens han gik gennem de farverige blomsterbede i Tivoli.En: Søren looked up at the threatening clouds as he walked through the colorful flower beds in Tivoli.Da: Han elskede sit arbejde som vedligeholdelsesmedarbejder; det holdt ham i naturen, og han nød at bidrage til skønheden omkring ham.En: He loved his job as a maintenance worker; it kept him in nature, and he enjoyed contributing to the beauty around him.Da: Ved siden af ham gik Lise, som var fuldt opslugt af at arrangere blomsterne.En: Next to him, Lise was fully absorbed in arranging the flowers.Da: Hun drømte om en dag at blive gartner her, hvor hun kunne forvandle sine ideer til virkelighed.En: She dreamed of one day becoming a gardener here, where she could turn her ideas into reality.Da: "Tid til at tage en pause?"En: "Time for a break?"Da: spurgte Søren og pegede på bænken ved siden af den velplejede sti.En: asked Søren, pointing to the bench beside the well-maintained path.Da: Men Lise rystede på hovedet.En: But Lise shook her head.Da: "Jeg vil gøre indtryk på hovedgartneren i dag.En: "I want to make an impression on the head gardener today.Da: Han kommer forbi snart, og jeg vil vise ham, hvad jeg kan."En: He's coming by soon, and I want to show him what I can do."Da: Søren smilede til Lise, men han huskede også sin søsters fødselsdag senere på dagen.En: Søren smiled at Lise, but he also remembered his sister's birthday later in the day.Da: Han ville ikke gå glip af det, men han vidste også, hvor meget Lise havde brug for hans hjælp med de tunge planter.En: He didn't want to miss it, but he also knew how much Lise needed his help with the heavy plants.Da: Timerne fløj afsted, og sommerens vidunderlige varme begyndte langsomt at ændre sig til en lummer stilhed.En: The hours flew by, and the wonderful warmth of summer slowly began to change into a humid stillness.Da: Pludselig skiftede luften, og skyerne blev næsten sorte.En: Suddenly, the air shifted, and the clouds became almost black.Da: "Det ser slemt ud," bemærkede Lise, bekymret.En: "It looks bad," Lise remarked, worried.Da: "Hvis det regner nu, kan blomsterne blive ødelagt."En: "If it rains now, the flowers could be ruined."Da: "Vi kan klare det," sagde Søren, men tanken om fødselsdagen fyldte hans tanker.En: "We can handle it," said Søren, but the thought of the birthday filled his mind.Da: Pludselig satte vinden op, folk i tivoli begyndte at skynde sig mod udgangen.En: Suddenly, the wind picked up, and people in Tivoli began rushing toward the exit.Da: Lise blev stående på sin post, fast besluttet på at redde blomsterbedene.En: Lise stood her ground, determined to save the flower beds.Da: "Hej, Lise!"En: "Hey, Lise!"Da: råbte Søren gennem den stigende vind.En: shouted Søren through the rising wind.Da: "Jeg bliver nødt til at gå snart."En: "I have to go soon."Da: "Hjælp mig bare lidt endnu, Søren," bad Lise.En: "Just help me a little longer, Søren," pleaded Lise.Da: "Vi kan ikke miste disse blomster."En: "We can't lose these flowers."Da: Søren tøvede.En: Søren hesitated.Da: Ville han svigte Lise?En: Would he let Lise down?Da: Han tænkte på, hvad hans mor altid sagde: "Når du kan hjælpe, skal du hjælpe."En: He thought of what his mother always said: "When you can help, you should help."Da: Han tog en dyb indånding og besluttede at blive.En: He took a deep breath and decided to stay.Da: Sammen arbejde de i hast.En: Together, they worked quickly.Da: De placerede dække over de skrøbelige planter og sikrede dem mod vinden.En: They placed covers over the fragile plants and secured them against the wind.Da: Lise kiggede taknemmeligt på Søren, som arbejdede ved hendes side.En: Lise looked gratefully at Søren, who worked by her side.Da: "Tak," sagde hun, lettet.En: "Thank you," she said, relieved.Da: Da stormen endelig lagde sig lidt, kunne Søren se på sit ur.En: When the storm finally subsided a bit, Søren checked his watch.Da: Der var lige tid nok til at nå den sidste tog til sin søsters hus.En: There was just enough time to catch the last train to his sister's house.Da: "Jeg må afsted nu," sagde han, "men blomsterne er sikre!"En: "I have to go now," he said, "but the flowers are safe!"Da: Lise smilede.En: Lise smiled.Da: "Skynd dig, Søren.En: "Hurry, Søren.Da: Tak for din hjælp."En: Thank you for your help."Da: Søren løb mod stationen og nåede toget lige inden det kørte af sted.En: Søren ran to the station and caught the train just before it departed.Da: Han nåede frem til fødselsdagsmiddagen, når familien netop havde bestemt sig for at vente lidt længere med at spise.En: He arrived at the birthday dinner just as the family had decided to wait a little longer to eat.Da: Søren lærte den dag, at hans forpligtelser kunne balanceres, og Lise fandt modet til at anerkende, når hun behøvede hjælp.En: Søren learned that day that his obligations could be balanced, and Lise found the courage to acknowledge when she needed help.Da: Imens fortsatte Tivoli med at blomstre, takket være et dedikeret medarbejderteam og et pludseligt sommerstorm samarbejde.En: Meanwhile, Tivoli continued to bloom, thanks to a dedicated team of workers and a sudden summer storm collaboration.

In this episode of the Balancing Act podcast, Andy speaks with Suzie Bishop, vice president of product development at The Center for Leadership Studies — the global home of the Situational Leadership® Model — and co-author of the newly released Situational Leadership®: The Model for Leading Others, Navigating Change, and Unlocking Performance.  A Marshall Goldsmith 100 Coach who has spent more than a decade modernizing the world's most widely used leadership framework, Suzie makes a deceptively simple case — the best leaders don't lean on one great style; they read the person in front of them and adapt to what the moment actually requires.  Tune in to episode 253 to hear why the well-liked “nice boss” who delegates everything can quietly leave people stranded, the first move for a newly promoted high performer who's about to fall flat, and the humbling parenting moment that reframed how Suzie thinks about leading people who have already outgrown your instructions.  AndrewTemte.com

 [This episode originally aired on June 14, 2022]  Since we are the only ones who know what's really going on during any session of meditation, or in life generally, we have a responsibility to be our own meditation instructors, working with the patterns that capture our particular mind from time to time  •  many years ago I was introduced to pairs of qualities that can help us in identifying different kind of traps, or extremes, we can fall into, as ways to bring ourselves back into balance  •  the first pair talks about the two poles of anxiety and tranquility  •  in this example, we are working to find a middle ground where we are not falling into anxiety, and we are not becoming overly tranquil to the point of being disengaged or blasé  •  the second pair is agility and heaviness  •  the third pair is inflexibility and pliancy  •  the fourth pair is too firm and too soft  •  the fifth pair is self-doubt/uncertainty and a rigid sense of proficiency  •  the final pair is insincerity and genuineness/uprightness.

Why do so many brilliant, accomplished leaders freeze the moment the stakes get highest — losing the room before they've said a single word?  In this episode of the Balancing Act podcast, Andy speaks with Kathryn Janicek — a 3x Emmy Award-winning executive presence strategist, former TV news producer, and founder of Janicek Performance Group, where she coaches Fortune 500 leaders for their highest-stakes moments.  Drawing on two decades in live television — including her time as the sole spokesperson during the 2007 I-35W bridge collapse in Minneapolis — Kathryn makes the case that how you show up matters every bit as much as what you say, and that presence is a skill any leader can build.  Tune in to episode 252 to hear why Kathryn calls fear “a terrible creative director,” what a bridge collapse taught her about leading through a crisis, and why, in the age of AI and deepfakes, your audience can tell in an instant when a leader's words aren't truly their own. It's a practical masterclass in showing up when it counts.  AndrewTemte.com

A sales career is built on self-balancing your time For an effective sales career, you need to be self-balancing. In every sales role, there is a constant pull of your time and energy between two opposites. For example: “Do I……. Focus on my current customers or focus on prospecting.  The hunter-farmer decision Focus on the strategic few customers or treat every customer equally. Make sales calls or have an office day. Focus on one market segment or cover all of them in my geographic territory. Become a specialist versus being a generalist. Focus on technical and data to sell versus more of a relationship selling style. Being all about your commission versus being all about the customer versus being all about the most technically correct solution. Listen in as we discuss how balance can help and hinder your sales career!

In this second installment, Spretail CEO Joshua Ketter shares why he left early retirement after his time at Amazon to lead a multi-billion dollar e-commerce turnaround through the post-COVID supply chain crisis. Joshua delivers a profound lesson on the hardest balancing act in executive leadership: maintaining hyper-efficient business outcomes while extending true human grace and mentorship to struggling employees. Finally, he breaks down Spretail's unique "corporate athlete" culture, explaining how tracking and prioritizing employee sleep cut corporate healthcare costs in half and drastically reduced emergency room visits.   

Our flagship Global Economic Outlook is just around the corner, and in this latest episode of The Weekly Briefing, Group Chief Economist Neil Shearing previews our view of a world in which some economies are benefiting from the AI investment boom while others are falling behind. He also discusses what to expect from next week's US employment report and why markets are underestimating just how hawkish the Fed may need to remain to bring inflation back to target.Also on the show, with Andy Burnham's 'coronation' as the UK's next prime minister looking increasingly likely, what do we know about the new government's plans? Paul Dales and Ruth Gregory from our UK team discuss the fiscal constraints that will limit a Burnham government's spending ambitions, while explaining why falling inflation could allow the Bank of England to deliver much more monetary easing than markets currently expect.Related contentUK Economic Outlook: Fall in inflation to 2.0% in 2027 to trigger rate cutshttps://www.capitaleconomics.com/publications/uk-economic-outlook/fall-inflation-20-2027-trigger-rate-cutsCapital Economics Eventshttps://www.capitaleconomics.com/events

Americans all rightly make a great deal about our democracy. But the partisan element sets in quickly, and the incessant debate extends even beyond the candidates and initiatives on the ballot.

What if building a thriving book of business didn't require working more hours, chasing leads, or scrambling to get yourself out there — but simply getting better at the conversations you're already having?  In this episode of the Balancing Act podcast, Andy speaks with Deb Feder — founder of Feder Development and author of the Client Conversation Series, including After Hello and her latest, Might I Suggest.  Deb practiced corporate law for more than fifteen years before turning her attention to how lawyers and professionals actually build lasting practices — and her answer has little to do with the perfect elevator pitch and everything to do with intentional, everyday connection. It's a refreshingly human take on a skill most professionals are never actually taught.  Tune in to episode 251 to hear how caring for her grandmother reshaped the way Deb builds a business, why she pushes back hard on the idea that you're either a “rainmaker” or you're not, and her case that the strongest careers are still built one five-minute conversation at a time.  AndrewTemte.com

After 250 episodes of the Balancing Act podcast, the host becomes the guest. Producer Nick Temte steps out from behind the glass to interview his dad — and usual host — Andy Temte, in a milestone conversation about where the show started, what 250 episodes have taught him, and where it's all going. Dr. Andrew (Andy) Temte, CFA, is an author, musician, and the former CEO of Kaplan Professional Education. He's the author of Balancing Act: Teach, Coach, Mentor, Inspire and The Balanced Business, with two more books on the way — The Modern Golden Rule and Stop Standing Still. He founded the Balancing Act in 2019 as a way to have authentic, non-salesy conversations with business leaders, and he closes every episode with the same three words: grace, dignity, and compassion. Andy traces his own career rocket booster to a sunny August day in 1989, when — rejected by every other Big Ten PhD program — he climbed to the sixth floor of Phillips Hall at the University of Iowa to meet finance department chair Carl Schweser. A scheduled 30-minute interview became a two-hour conversation, and a lifelong mentorship that shaped everything that followed. From there, Nick and Andy retrace the origins of the show, the 2008 Great Recession story behind “grace, dignity, and compassion,” and the home studio where their father-son partnership — and their music — began.

What if the metrics you're chasing — the downloads, the likes, the impressions — are quietly steering your business in the wrong direction?  In this episode of the Balancing Act podcast, Andy speaks with Tom Schwab — founder and CEO of Interview Valet and author of Podcast Guest Profits. A U.S. Naval Academy graduate and engineer who found his way into marketing, Tom brings a systems mindset to one deceptively simple question — what are you actually optimizing for? — and to the conversations that actually grow a business, from why most podcasts die in their first ten episodes to what it takes for a leader to step out from behind the brand in an AI-driven world.  Along the way, Tom makes the case that the more technology we gain, the more human we become — and that we may all be just one conversation away from the relationship that changes everything.  Tune in to episode 249 to hear Tom's two mentorship moments — one for the young engineer worried their degree boxed them in, one for the CEO afraid to build a public voice — and his lightning-round reminder that relationships are the one currency inflation has never touched.  AndrewTemte.com

What if the conversations your team isn't having are costing you more than the ones it is?  In this episode of the Balancing Act podcast, Andy speaks with Gustavo Razzetti — culture change instigator, CEO of Fearless Culture, and bestselling author of Remote, Not Distant, Stretch for Change, and his new book Forward Talk: The Bold New Method For Getting Teams Unstuck.  Gustavo introduces the concept of conversational debt — the compound cost of the conversations teams avoid — and unpacks the three destructive patterns that keep teams trapped: avoidance, blame, and groupthink. He explains why the corporate obsession with psychological safety has become a bandage for deeper issues, and why getting unstuck isn't about better meetings — it's about better conversations.  Tune in to episode 248 to hear Gustavo's rocket-booster moment about a CEO who chose to trust his team before taking the client's side, two mentorship moments — one for the CHRO investing in change capabilities, one for the CEO who just wants his teams to "get along" — and his closing reflection on the pointlessness paradox that quietly drains team performance.    Connect with Gustavo's work here: https://gustavorazzetti.com/ https://www.amazon.com/Forward-Talk-Method-Getting-Unstuck/dp/1646872479

Police leaders have long embraced the idea that preventing crime is more effective than simply responding to it. Yet despite decades of emphasis on proactive policing, many officers find themselves spending most of their shifts answering calls, writing reports and moving from one incident to the next. Results from Police1's “What Cops Want in 2026” survey highlight the challenge, revealing widespread frustration with limited time for proactive work and the growing demands placed on patrol officers. In this episode of the Policing Matters podcast, host Jim Dudley spoke with Las Cruces (New Mexico) Police Chief Jeremy Story about the barriers preventing officers from engaging in proactive policing and what agencies can do to overcome them. Story discussed the role of evidence-based policing, crime analysis, technology and leadership accountability in helping departments shift from a purely reactive model toward one focused on crime prevention and community impact.

What if the corruption of great companies isn't an ethics problem at all — but a design problem?  In this episode of the Balancing Act podcast, Andy speaks with Eric Ries — creator of the Lean Startup methodology, and New York Times bestselling author of The Lean Startup and The Startup Way. His new book, Incorruptible: Why Good Companies Go Bad and How Great Companies Stay Great, argues that corporate corruption is not primarily ethical — it is structural — and offers a practical blueprint for organizations that can grow, prosper, and endure without losing their soul.  Eric revisits the Lean Startup methodology fifteen years after its publication — what's changed, what's been distorted, and how he thinks about the MVP, the pivot, and the build-measure-learn loop today.  Tune in to episode 247 to hear Eric's rocket-booster moment, his mentorship moment for the chief product officer trying to adopt Lean Startup at scale, and his closing reflection on equanimity as one of the most underrated attributes of the entrepreneurial journey.

Kevin Maguire, author of The New Fatherhood, about what is shifting inside modern fatherhood and why so many men are trying to parent differently than they were parented themselves. Did you know that dads can experience postpartum depression too? We talk about the move from "protect, provide, preside" to something more emotionally present and engaged, and what it actually takes to stay connected when things feel overwhelming. We explore anger and emotional regulation, the challenge many fathers experience around vulnerability and play, and the identity shift that happens when a man becomes a parent.

What if everything you've been told about resilience is wrong?  In this episode of the Balancing Act podcast, host Andy speaks with Jay Abbasi — CEO and founder of The Conscious Professional, former Tesla leader, and international keynote speaker who has coached leaders at Google, Amazon, and Wells Fargo. After his father's sudden passing in 2014 woke him up to the costs of living on autopilot, Jay rebuilt his life around one question: how do leaders perform at a high level without burning out?  Andy and Jay unpack the Three Rs framework — recharge, reframe, reconnect — the myth that resilience means powering through, why the most burnt-out leaders are the ones who built their entire identity on a single pillar, and the research connecting negative thinking to physical illness. It's a conversation about adaptability, multi-dimensionalism, and what changes when leaders stop being self-absorbed long enough to actually engage with their work.  Tune in episode 246 to hear Jay's story and learn how to recharge before you hit zero.  AndrewTemte.com

Eating disorders are complicated illnesses that skyrocketed among teenagers during the COVID-19 pandemic. Pediatrician Eva Trujillo says they "literally rewire the brain," decrease brain size, and make it harder to concentrate and to regulate emotions. Malnutrition can slow the metabolism, impact bone density and even lead to cardiac arrest. But Eva says, with the right treatment, people can also recover fully. She's the president of the International Association of Eating Disorder Professionals and co-founder of Comenzar de Nuevo, a leading treatment facility in Latin America. Today on the show, host Emily Kwong talks about the physical and mental impacts of eating disorders with Dr. Trujillo and Moorea Friedman, a teen mental health advocate and host of the podcast Balancing Act. Plus, how to recover in a world steeped in diet culture. (encore)Want us to cover more mental health topics? Tell us by emailing shortwave@npr.org!
