Why do (senior) executives so rarely hear what they need to improve? I explore this critical leadership blind spot, inspired by a recent article in Fast Company by Dr. Tomas Chamorro-Premuzic and global thought leader on psychological safety, Amy Edmondson. Relying on thought-provoking research amplified by real-world case examples, this episode exposes the invisible barriers that often keep leaders in the dark and offers a toolkit for reversing the trend.From the dangers of hierarchical silence to the psychology of honest feedback, I review practical strategies we can all use including asking focused questions, acknowledging our own blind spots, and separating our immediate reactions from thoughtful reflection. The importance of acting on feedback, no matter how small, is a simple, yet frequently overlooked opportunity. I also share the powerful example of Alan Mulally, one of the most celebrated and respected CEOs of all-time, to highlight how we can transform our cultures from focusing on fear to unleashing our individual and collective potential.For leaders who are hungry to boost their impact and foster psychological safety, this episode is full of actionable advice on creating an environment where candor thrives and teams and leaders at every level can truly grow.What You'll Learn- The benefits of feedback.- What is feedback?- Ask for specifics, not generalities - The power of specific questions. - Reward courage – It's scary to offer someone feedback.- Act on feedback and communicate your changes.Podcast Timestamps00:00 Welcome and Episode Introduction01:37 Today's Topic: The Feedback Gap for Senior Leaders04:04 What Feedback Really Is: The Zenger Folkman Definition05:47 Why Senior Leaders Struggle to Receive Honest Feedback08:11 Strategy 1: Ask for Disconfirming Data, Not General Impressions10:31 Asking Specific, Targeted Feedback Questions12:40 Strategy 2: Separate Ingestion from Reaction14:57 Strategy 3: Focus on Patterns, Not One Data Point17:18 Strategy 4: Act on One Small Piece of Feedback First19:40 The Alan Mulally and Ford Turnaround Story22:01 Red Lights Are Gems: Closing Thoughts KEYWORDSPositive Leadership, Feedback, Psychological Safety, Amy Edmondson, 360 feedback, Self-Awareness, Hierarchy, Power Differential, Leadership Development, Constructive Feedback, Actionable Feedback, Behavioral Change, Barriers to Feedback, Receiving Feedback, Accountability, Alan Mulally, Ford Turnaround, Transparent Leadership, CEO SuccessSource: Why senior leaders get less feedback—and how to change that - Fast Company

Vishal Verma's family office has been operating out of Silicon Valley for over thirty years. His father arrived from India in 1977 with eight dollars in his pocket, worked as a rocket scientist, and eventually became an entrepreneur and venture capitalist. The family formalized their office in the late nineties with early LP positions in Sequoia Fund IX and Kleiner Perkins. Today Vishal manages a portfolio split across twenty-one venture capital firms and twenty-eight direct co-investments in generational companies including Anthropic, Wiz, Stripe, and xAI.In this episode, Prashant and Vishal go deep on how a thirty-year family office actually thinks about venture capital — the vintage strategy, the concentration framework, the Anthropic bet, and why most of what you hear about the first mover advantage is wrong.⭐ Sponsored by Podcast10x - Podcasting agency for VCs - https://podcast10x.comWe talk about -– The family origin story: $8 at the border to Silicon Valley– Portfolio construction: 70/30 public to private– The vintage strategy: why you have to be at every party– Three concentrations reshaping the VC ecosystem– The Anthropic investment at $18B valuation– AI vs crypto: behavioral change is everything– Bigger funds not returning DPI is hogwash– Emerging managers: what actually earns a check– DPI reality and the IPO bottleneck– Why family offices exist and what banks can't doTimestamps:(00:00) -Preview(01:40) - Introduction to Vishal Verma and His Family's VC Legacy(03:39) - The Family Office Origin Story: From India to Silicon Valley(06:57) - Challenges and Triumphs of Early Indian-American Entrepreneurs(08:56) - Why the Indian-American Community Thrives: Hard Work, Education, and Family(10:22) - Portfolio Construction and the First Investment in Sequoia(14:15) - The Rationale Behind a 30% Allocation to Venture Capital(17:22) - How Shorter Fundraising Cycles Have Changed LP Strategy(22:25) - The Differentiator for Top-Tier VC Funds(24:34) - Understanding the "Concentration" of Returns, Capital, and Founders in VC(28:08) - Do Bigger Funds Actually Lead to Shrinking Returns?(30:17) - The "Mafias" of Silicon Valley and Their Role in Deal Flow(32:32) - The Investment Thesis for Anthropic at an $18B Valuation(36:55) - AI vs. Crypto: The Critical Difference of Behavioral Change(39:15) - First-Mover vs. Best-to-Market: Lessons from Tech History(40:32) - The Reality of Stretched DPI and Liquidity Challenges(41:35) - The Rise of "Megacorns" and the Upcoming IPO Wave(44:34) - AI Investing: When Does Conviction Become Overexposure?(48:38) - Public Market Strategy: A Tech-Heavy Portfolio(52:50) - ConclusionLinks:Edgewood Ventures - https://www.edgewoodvp.com/Connect with Vishal Verma - https://www.linkedin.com/in/vishal-verma-551327Connect with Prashant: https://linkedin.com/in/choubeysahabSubscribe to VC10X newsletter - https://vc10x.beehiiv.comSubscribe on YouTube - https://youtube.com/@VC10X Subscribe on Apple Podcasts - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/vc10x-investing-venture-capital-asset-management-private/id1632806986Subscribe on Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/7F7KEhXNhTx1bKTBFgzv3k?si=WgQ4ozMiQJ-6nowj6wBgqQVC10X website - https://vc10x.com

Do you have a habit like smoking or late night snacking that you want to kick, but no matter what you try, you just can't seem to quit? The answer isn't weakness, and it isn't a lack of motivation. It lives in the 88% of your brain you're not consciously controlling, and therapeutic hypnosis (hypnotherapy) may be one of the most underestimated tools available to change it.On Salad with a Side of Fries, host Jenn Trepeck and guest Rita Black, a leading clinical hypnotherapist and author, pull back the curtain on hypnosis and hypnotherapy for weight loss, smoking cessation, and breaking stubborn subconscious patterns. If you've ever asked yourself why you can't stop doing something you genuinely don't want to do, this conversation was made for you.What You Will Learn in This Episode:✅ How hypnotherapy works by relaxing the critical filter between your conscious and subconscious mind, making it easier to adopt new habits and beliefs rather than fighting against deeply embedded patterns.✅ Why willpower represents only 12% of your mental power, and how your subconscious patterns from night eating to emotional eating are running the show, whether you realize it or not.✅ How adopting an apprentice mindset and shifting your identity from "dieter" to "learner" can reduce shame, break the start-over-Monday cycle, and create sustainable behavioral change.✅ Three practical self-hypnosis techniques you can use today: the identity shift, the Movie Theater mental practice method, and aversion therapy tools that interrupt dopamine-driven cravings before they take hold.The Salad With a Side of Fries podcast, hosted by Jenn Trepeck, explores real-life wellness and weight-loss topics, debunking myths, misinformation, and flawed science surrounding nutrition and the food industry. Let's dive into wellness and weight loss for real life, including drinking, eating out, and skipping the grocery store.TIMESTAMPS:00:00 Rita Black, clinical hypnotherapist and expert in hypnosis for weight loss and smoking cessation05:05 Rita shares her personal story of overcoming addiction through hypnotherapy and becoming a non-smoker10:04 The difference between stage hypnosis and therapeutic hypnosis: entertainment versus real behavioral change14:25 How hypnotherapy relaxes the critical filter so the conscious and subconscious mind can finally align19:36 The ringing phone analogy: why dopamine and expectation drive food cravings and night eating23:06 Three self-hypnosis tools to start using today.

Episode SummaryIn this episode of Lassoing Leadership, Jason Rogers and Garth Nichols sit down with Drew Dudley to explore a simple but powerful idea: leadership isn't defined by titles or big moments — it's shaped by the small behaviors we practice every single day.Drawing from his book This Is Day One, Drew shares the mental models, questions, and habits that help leaders move from intention to impact. The conversation centers on the idea that leadership is not something we wait to grow into. Instead, it's something we practice daily through decisions, behaviors, and the values we choose to live out in the moment.Drew reflects on personal stories that shaped his thinking about leadership and offers practical ways leaders can rethink their influence. From the importance of recognizing small moments of impact to the discipline of grounding decisions in values, the conversation highlights how meaningful leadership often grows out of everyday choices.Jason, Garth, and Drew also explore the idea of “Day One” leadership — the mindset that every day presents a new opportunity to lead with purpose. The discussion moves into the role of reflective questions, overcoming leadership paralysis, and finding the courage to act even when the path forward feels uncertain.It's a thoughtful conversation about habits, humility, and how leaders can create lasting impact by focusing on the behaviors that matter most — one day at a time.TopicsLeadership, Daily Habits, Values-Based Leadership, Impact, Drew Dudley, This Is Day One, Leadership Development, Behavioral Change, Leadership QuestionsTake AwaysLeadership as daily behavior grounded in valuesThe concept of “Day One” leadershipThe impact of small actions and decisionsMental models for effective leadershipReflective questions that drive meaningful leadership behaviorLeadership impact is created through consistent daily behaviors.Values should guide decisions, especially when leadership becomes complex.Reflective questions help leaders move from intention to action.Every day offers a fresh opportunity to lead with purpose.“Every day is a new opportunity to lead.”“Fight addiction one day at a time.”“Keep leading the Lasso way.”Chapters00:00 — Introduction to Everyday Leadership06:05 — The Concept of Day One09:22 — Personal Stories and Insights12:08 — Leadership and Legacy15:13 — Behavior and Values in Leadership17:59 — Overcoming Leadership Paralysis21:10 — Making Leadership Impactful24:45 — Navigating Fear and Empathy in Leadership27:02 — The Power of Reflective Questions29:02 — Experiments in Leadership and Impact30:55 — Decision-Making and Values32:45 — The Complexity of Leadership36:39 — Ted Lasso as a Leadership Case Study

The final episode of Your 2026 Body Blueprint brings the entire series together. In Part 1, Ted explained why most men over 40 age faster than they should. In Part 2, he broke down why weight loss alone doesn't equal health. In Part 3, he showed how men should train to preserve muscle and strength with minimal time. In Part 4, he explained why cardio and cardiovascular fitness are essential for longevity—even if you already lift. And In Part 5, he shared a clear, evidence-based approach to nutrition that supports metabolic health, longevity, and fat loss without quitting your social life or eliminating foods you enjoy. And in Part 6, he talked the most underestimated drivers of how you age: sleep, stress, and lifestyle. Now, in Part 7, Ted explains how to organize everything into a realistic, year-long system built around one outcome goal—fat loss—and the process goals that actually make it achievable. This episode focuses on training structure, cardio decisions, nutrition fundamentals, recovery, measurement, and the behavioral shifts required to make progress stick over time. You'll learn: Why choosing one outcome goal leads to better long-term results than chasing multiple goals How to structure strength training for fat loss while preserving muscle after 40 How calorie and protein tracking simplify fat loss and improve food choices Why data tracking prevents emotional decision-making and plateaus How recovery and stress management determine whether fat loss succeeds or fails Why identity and habit reprogramming matter more than willpower What Ted discusses in this episode: (00:00) Introduction (01:47) Setting Realistic Goals for Long-Term Success (05:19) Effective Training Strategies for Fat Loss (12:36) The Role of Cardio in Your Fitness Journey (16:27) Mastering Nutrition for Optimal Results (22:03) The Importance of Tracking and Measurement (24:30) Avoiding Burnout and Ensuring Recovery (27:18) Behavioral Change and Long-Term Success (30:48) Client Success Story: Chad's Transformation (33:15) Final Thoughts and Encouragement

Host Jim Ellermeyer welcomes Shane Chojnacki — a professional fighter, trainer, health advocate, and pro wrestler known as Victor Benjamin — for an honest and deeply reflective conversation about resilience, choice, and personal responsibility. Shane opens up about growing up in an environment marked by addiction, violence, and scarcity, while still finding moments of community, guidance, and protection. Rather than becoming a victim of his circumstances, he made intentional decisions to stay grounded in sports, discipline, and work — even when easier and more destructive paths were readily available. Throughout this episode, Shane reflects on learning from the mistakes of others, refusing to settle for less, and choosing action over self-pity. Jim connects these experiences to mindfulness principles, recovery thinking, and the idea that real change comes from effort, behavior, and consistent choices — not just intention or wishful thinking. Topics explored include: Growing up without a safety net Making conscious “wise mind” choices Learning resilience through adversity Taking action instead of living in “ifs, buts, and maybes” Betting on yourself when others doubt you Speaking intention into existence through action This is Part 1 of a continuing conversation that sets the foundation for deeper discussions on identity, growth, and mindful living in future episodes.

Why community is the most powerful tool for transformation.Community isn't just a feel-good buzzword. According to Gina Bianchini, it's a catalyst for personal and collective transformation.Bianchini is the CEO and founder of community-building platform, Mighty Networks, and author of the book Purpose: Design a Community and Change Your Life. "Community is when people come together, and every single member has something to give and something to receive," she explains. In contrast to the one-directional dynamic of a speaker and their audience or a creator and their following, Bianchini argues that the power of community lies in two-way exchanges, where each member benefits the group and benefits from it. "Community is the single most effective way to get results and transformation you just can't get on your own," she says.In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, Bianchini joins host Matt Abrahams to discuss how to unlock the potential of purposeful communities. She shares strategies for finding your tribe during times of transition, the "people magic” created when we facilitate deep connections, and how creating community enables us to create the world and lives we imagine.To listen to the extended Deep Thinks version of this episode, please visit FasterSmarter.io/premium.Episode Reference Links:Gina BianchiniGina's Book: PurposeEp.174 Fix Meetings: Transform Gatherings Into Meaningful Moments Connect:Premium Signup >>>> Think Fast Talk Smart PremiumEmail Questions & Feedback >>> hello@fastersmarter.ioEpisode Transcripts >>> Think Fast Talk Smart WebsiteNewsletter Signup + English Language Learning >>> FasterSmarter.ioThink Fast Talk Smart >>> LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTubeMatt Abrahams >>> LinkedInChapters:(00:00) - Introduction (02:17) - Defining Community vs. Audience (04:05) - Community as a Catalyst for Transformation (06:41) - Finding the Right Community (10:29) - The Future Story Framework (13:22) - People Magic & Facilitation (19:07) - The Final Three Questions (24:59) - Conclusion ********Thank you to our sponsors.

Most of us have a daily plan that includes a routine of productive habits. Sometimes the plan happens. And you have a few days, maybe even a week of things running smoothly. Then there is an interruption. And all of the sudden days have gone by and your plan hasn't happened at all. At the top of this list is often our habits regarding eating and exercise. In all our areas of life where we seek to develop good habits and get better results, there is new information that the areas of diet and exercise don't work like the others and are the areas we most fail, because, life happens. This new information is brought to us by Dr Michelle Segar who sat down with a couple of years ago. Michelle takes our cultural concept of habits to task. We're going to talk about her groundbreaking, decision-making framework—and the science behind it—to give hope to the millions of what she calls, “unhabiters,” who are frustrated with their failure to keep up all the good habits they intend to engage with, and discuss a behavior-change solution designed for them. We are enamored with creating habits in our lives that will give us the success we want, but what you're about to find out is the normal framework and perspective of habits we have doesn't work for…a lot of us. But there is a solution that will, and it's why I have Michelle on the show. Michelle is an award-winning, National Institute of Health funded sustainable behavior change researcher at the University of Michigan and a lifestyle coach. For nearly three decades, she has pioneered methods to create sustainable healthy behavior changes that are being used to boost patient health, employee well-being, and even gym membership retention. I'm pulling info from her book, The Joy Choice: How To Finally Achieve Lasting Changes In Eating and Exercise.

Can AI spot your health problems faster than a doctor? We all know the grind: long hours, too much stress, and that feeling of burnout that never seems to go away. Traditional medicine often just slaps a Band-Aid on the symptoms, leaving the root cause unaddressed. But what if there's a better way to get to the bottom of what's really going on with your body? Discover how AI-powered health tracking can pinpoint hidden issues like low testosterone and stress-induced glucose crashes. Learn how to use your own biometric data to have more productive conversations with your doctor. And find out what simple lifestyle changes can make a massive difference in your mental and physical well-being. Listen now to learn how to turn your health data into actionable insights. Topics Discussed: - AI and Testosterone: Garrett shares his personal journey of using an AI chat to pinpoint a potential diagnosis of hypogonadism due to head injuries, which was later confirmed by blood tests. - The Problem with Doctors: A major frustration is the lack of time doctors have to truly sift through a patient's complex history to find the root cause of issues like chronic stress or low energy. - Biohacking with Wearables: Wearable tech and continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) can reveal surprising correlations between emotional stress and physical biomarkers, like a fight with a partner causing a blood sugar spike. - The Biopsychosocial Model: The conversation highlights how physical health and mental health are inextricably linked and that physical issues can often manifest as psychological symptoms and vice versa. - Trusting Your Data: The hosts discuss the balance between trusting the data from wearables and listening to your own body's intuition, noting that the data isn't foolproof. - Quick Fixes vs. Root Causes: The discussion touches on how Western medicine often focuses on treating symptoms with quick fixes like medication, rather than addressing the underlying lifestyle factors. - The Power of Feedback Loops: Using AI and wearables creates a tighter feedback loop, allowing people to experiment with lifestyle changes and see the results faster, which helps maintain motivation. - Burnout as a Lifestyle Choice: Burnout is framed not just as a workplace issue but as a lifestyle problem driven by priorities that don't include recovery. - Behavioral Change is Hard: The hosts acknowledge that knowing what to do isn't the same as doing it, and that current behaviors often serve a purpose, even if they're unhealthy. - Data Privacy Concerns: Garrett acknowledges the risk of sharing personal health data with AI but weighs the benefit of gaining health insights against the potential for data leaks.

Lea Sakran|Multilingual voiceover artist, narrator & writerStorytelling has always inspired me to look at situations from different angles and create with my fantasy wishful developments and outcomes in life. Storytelling is an empowering way to perceive life stories from different perspectives, develop an understanding, and transmute thoughts and ideas into messages connected with the soul of planet Earth. I am the author and narrator of the humorous fantasy stories of the two rhinos “Gusta and Gusto,” published by Spoken Realms and Blackstone Publishing in March this year, available globally and on Audible. The two rhinos encounter humanized emotions living through timeless issues: how to live a meaningful life, stand up for yourself, learn about friendship, transmute your mindset, and train your belief system of choice and the courage of empowerment. The second audiobook of “Gusta and Gusto with Commentary” will be published at the beginning of December this year. My daughter and I will talk as interludes between the stories about the happenings in the 12 chapters and share our thoughts and views there. “Gusta and Gusto” is a core possibility to connect hearts and generations. My Voiceover journey started 25 years ago with my passion for writing, theatre, and film. I could apply and develop my skills in music, acting, dance, dramaturgy, and directing, and I have been active in state playhouses, the opera, and the independent scenes. Additionally, for seven years, I gave courses in “Creative Writing.” While developing my audiobook “Gusta and Gusto,” besides my desire for writing, I discovered my passion for narration and voice acting.Links:https://www.amazon.de/Audible-Gusta-Gusto/dp/B0C29YLST4https://www.leasakran.com/Adventure,Audiobooks,Behavioral Change,Creative Writing,Empowering,Humor,Narrator,Personal Development,Storytelling,Voice Acting,Lea Sakran|Multilingual voiceover artist, narrator & writer,Phantom Electric Ghost Podcat,Podcast,Podmatch,InterviewSupport PEG by checking out our Sponsors:Download and use Newsly for free now from www.newsly.me or from the link in the description, and use promo code “GHOST” and receive a 1-month free premium subscription.The best tool for getting podcast guests:https://podmatch.com/signup/phantomelectricghostSubscribe to our Instagram for exclusive content:https://www.instagram.com/expansive_sound_experiments/Subscribe to our YouTube https://youtube.com/@phantomelectricghost?si=rEyT56WQvDsAoRprRSShttps://anchor.fm/s/3b31908/podcast/rssSubstackhttps://substack.com/@phantomelectricghost?utm_source=edit-profile-page

In episode 502 of Passion Struck, we tackle a subject that's hitting hard in our world right now: cynicism. Cynicism creeps into our thoughts, erodes our connections, and chips away at our belief in one another. To help us untangle this, we have an extraordinary guest, Dr. Jamil Zaki, a professor of psychology at Stanford University and an expert in empathy and kindness. His new book, Hope for Cynics: The Surprising Science of Human Goodness, reveals how we can overcome cynicism through hopeful skepticism.Dr. Zaki shares powerful insights from over two decades of research on how to escape the cynicism trap and boost your mental well-being. We discuss the myth of the cynical genius, how to combat polarization, and foster a more unified world. Dr. Zaki also delves into his personal journey, including how his parents' difficult divorce influenced his study of empathy and understanding others.Full show notes and resources: https://passionstruck.com/jamil-zaki-science-of-human-goodnessSponsorsBabbel: Unlock the power of learning a new language with Babbel's innovative system.
