Most leaders who plateau aren't missing feedback — they're avoiding what honest feedback requires of them. Self-identification, it turns out, is only 20% of self-awareness. Leadership development has a blind spot of its own: it focuses heavily on skills while overlooking the inner work that growth actually demands. In this episode, leadership strategist and executive coach Amy Clark explores why so many leaders stall even after they've named their weaknesses, and offers a clear path forward. From the concept of the "edge of familiarity" — where leaders cling to the expertise that got them to their current role — to a simple two-question method for gathering honest feedback from the people they lead, Amy provides practical tools that build both self-awareness and team trust. You'll Gain Insight On Why knowing your blind spots is only 20% of self-awareness — and what the other 80% requires The "edge of familiarity" and how technical expertise quietly becomes a leadership ceiling Two direct questions that build self-awareness and trust without a formal review process Why care must be practiced rather than posted on a wall
We all have blind spots, habits, strengths, and limitations that other people can see more clearly than we can.In Truth #10 of ASLAN's 30 Truths for 30 Years series, Tom Stanfill and Tab Norris explore why feedback is one of the most important tools for growth in sales, coaching, and leadership.They discuss why even successful people need outside perspective, how feedback can reveal strengths as well as weaknesses, why repeated patterns are hard to ignore, and how leaders can create more coachable teams by going first.Because the truth is simple: you cannot improve what you cannot see.Listen to the full episode of Sales with ASLAN to learn how seeking the right feedback can help you uncover blind spots, challenge limiting assumptions, and keep getting better.You can learn more about ASLAN and our unique training approach here --->https://tinyurl.com/3wr6w555
Most leaders think self-awareness means understanding their patterns. Cam Yenokida sees where that falls short. The executive coach and founder of Achieve Excellence explains why intellectual self-awareness alone never changes anything, and what it takes to turn insight into new behavior. Cam and Brandon get into the quiet reality of senior leadership, where the higher you climb, the less room you have to think out loud. They talk about what actually makes a leader coachable, why assessments are a starting point and not an answer, and how a simple look at your calendar can reveal where your attention is really going. Cam spent 20 years in corporate leadership before starting his own practice. He shares the turnover problem that became a defining moment, the two-year onboarding approach behind it, and what separates leaders who are good from those who become excellent. About our guest Cam Yenokida is an executive coach and the founder of Achieve Excellence, based in Lake Oswego, Oregon. He spent more than 20 years in corporate leadership before starting his own practice, and he has facilitated over 200 leadership and team development workshops. Cam coaches leaders at every level, from solo entrepreneurs to senior executives, using a systematic approach built around diagnostics, planning, implementation, and follow-up.

Revenue looks great on a scoreboard. But if your cash flow is a mess, your margins are thin, and your financials only get attention during tax season… that growth might be hiding a much bigger problem. In this episode of Built to Scale, Matt sits down with Larry Rice, CPA, CEPA, and founder of RVG & Company, to talk about the financial blind spots that quietly keep business owners stuck, stressed, and scrambling. They dig into why revenue is not the same as financial health, how fast growth can actually make bad decisions worse, and why your CPA should not be treated like an emergency contact you only call once a year. Larry also breaks down the numbers every owner should be watching, when to upgrade your financial team, and why clean books matter long before you look for funding, buy another company, or think about selling. This one is for every business owner who has ever asked, "We're growing… so why does it still feel so tight?" In this episode, Matt and Larry talk about: Revenue vs. profit vs. cash flow The financial numbers every business owner should know Why growth can expose cracks instead of fixing them How cash flow surprises sneak up on scaling companies When to bring in a bookkeeper, controller, or CFO Why tax planning should happen before tax season How messy financials can hurt funding, acquisitions, and exits The danger of taking business and tax advice from TikTok If you're trying to scale without flying blind, this episode is worth the listen. About Larry Rice Larry Rice is a CPA, CEPA, and managing partner at RVG & Company, where he works with business owners on tax strategy, financial planning, and fractional CFO-style advisory support. Larry and his team help entrepreneurs get clearer on the numbers, avoid expensive blind spots, and make smarter decisions around growth, funding, acquisitions, and exits.

Blind spots are easy to ignore.Until they become impossible to ignore.What we refuse to see can shape our future.In this message, “Where Are You With Blind Spots? When Blind Spots Become Deadly,” we examine the life of David in 2 Samuel 11–12 and discover how unchecked blind spots can quietly lead even the strongest believers away from God. What began with a single compromise grew into deception, destruction, and heartbreak—all because David failed to recognize what was happening in his own heart.But God, in His mercy, refused to leave David there. Through Nathan's confrontation, we see that conviction is an invitation to repentance, restoration, and lasting change.In this sermon, you'll hear about:Why dying to yourself daily protects your heartHow accountability helps expose what you cannot see on your ownWhy true repentance requires more than regret—it requires changeHow God's grace meets us when we're willing to face the truthThis message invites us to honestly examine our own lives—and asks a searching question: What blind spot have you been excusing that God is asking you to confront?Because what remains hidden will eventually shape your life.But what is surrendered can be transformed.
Most projects hit a bump, whether it's a missed deadline, miscommunication, or a leader stepping in to do the work themselves. But often, the real issue is an accountability blind spot that keeps teams stuck in this cycle.

Hannah Buchanan | Click/tap here to view the Sermon Reflection Guide. One of the greatest challenges in any relationship is that we all have blind spots, those things others can see about us that we cannot see about ourselves. Like a driver who fails to check a blind spot before changing lanes, our unseen attitudes, habits, assumptions, and behaviors can lead to costly collisions in our relationships with God and others. In 2 Samuel 12, King David is confronted by the prophet Nathan after David's sin with Bathsheba and Uriah. David could clearly see the injustice in Nathan's story about a rich man stealing a poor man's lamb, but he could not see the same injustice in his own life until Nathan declared, “You are the man” (2 Samuel 12:7). David's willingness to listen, repent, and return to God became a turning point in his story. The sermon reminds us that growth requires humility. We need trusted people who love us enough to tell us the truth, and we need the courage to receive that truth. Ultimately, Jesus is our "true mirror." As we fix our eyes on him through Scripture, prayer, and community, he reveals both who we were created to be and the areas where we need transformation.

What stops talented leaders from truly hearing honest feedback? This episode tackles that question head-on, drawing from both leading research and lived experience. While most articles, books, and workshops focus on how to give feedback, this discussion targets how to receive it. I explore why so many feedback conversations break down and how leaders can do better.Core themes include the impact of our gut reactions to critical feedback, how quickly we discount advice based on source or style, and why challenges to our identity produce the fiercest resistance. Listeners will be guided through practical, evidence-informed strategies to become better feedback recipients, creating environments where candid conversations thrive.This episode offers a refreshing, evidence-based approach for anyone committed to their own growth and eager to lead with greater effectiveness and humility.What You'll Learn- The roots of our genuine hesitation surrounding feedback conversations.- How our reactions can prevent or derail future feedback.- Although not all feedback will be delivered perfectly, you can still find value.- Don't let your relationship with the feedback-giver cloud your judgment- Feedback stings most when it challenges our identity.

In this episode of *Now I've Heard Everything*, host Bill Thompson sits down with Dr. Durga Larkin, MD, an ophthalmologist and author of the new book *Timeless Vision: Empowered Aging Redefined*. Dr. Larkin shares how her decades-long career as an eye surgeon inspired her to view aging not as a structural decline or a narrowing field of view, but as a profound opportunity for inner growth and reinvention. Using the physical mechanics of the eye as a powerful metaphor, she explains how unrecognized "blind spots"—societal expectations and limiting beliefs—can hold us back at any age. Dr. Larkin also shares a deeply personal turning point: how a severe wrist injury threatened her dominant surgical hand, forcing her to confront her own identity and ultimately choose to live out the exact advice of her book. Whether you are in your 30s or your 90s, this conversation is an inspiring reminder that you can expand your vision, adjust your trajectory, and embrace life with purpose.Get your copy of Timeless Vision by Durga LarkinAs an Amazon Associate, Now I've Heard Everything may earn a commission from qualifying purchases.Chapters:00:00 Introduction to Timeless Vision 03:01 The Journey of Aging and Perspective 06:14 Blind Spots and Inner Vision 09:01 Generational Perspectives on Aging 12:04 The Importance of Emotional Fulfillment 14:50 Adapting to Life Changes 18:00 Finding Purpose in Later Life 21:01 Resilience and Positive Attitude 24:01 Conclusion and Final ThoughtsGuest InformationDurga LarkinWebsiteSocial:Facebook Instagram ---------------------Kevin Phillips 2012 interview on Now I've Heard EverythingFor more intriguing and engaging interviews each week, subscribe now on:Spotify Apple Podcasts YouTube

Straight from the Source's Mouth: Frank Talk about Sex and Dating
The fastest way to stay stuck is to assume your struggle is unique. Tamara sits down with Michael Reed, host of Adaptive Men, to unpack why so many men repeat the same relationship patterns and then blame themselves when it falls apart. We get specific about attachment theory, how childhood conditioning shows up in adult dating, and why “you deserve better” can feel like a replay of every breakup you've had.We also go deep on men's emotional health without drifting into vague advice. Michael explains alexithymia (the trouble many men have naming feelings in real time) and why somatic work can be a practical doorway back into emotional awareness. From there, we connect the dots to emotional self-regulation so feelings don't get stuffed, stacked, and leaked out as irritability, shutdown, or a short fuse.From people pleasing and nice guy syndrome to self-worth and self-forgiveness, we keep coming back to the same idea: a lot of “bad habits” are old programming, not a life sentence. We also discuss men's groups, why community helps men heal, and how porn addiction and sexual insecurity can distort intimacy and communication even in loving relationships.If you want actionable insight on men's mental health, attachment theory, emotional regulation, and healthier relationships, this one is for you.

Dr. Vitz talks about the first blind spot of emotions, our own negative emotional state and the chemistry behind it. (Originally aired 09-30-2025)
SEASON: 6 EPISODE: 33Episode Overview:Welcome back to Becoming Preferred, the podcast designed to help you become the best version of you.Let's be honest: most entrepreneurs start a business out of a deep passion for a craft, not a love for spreadsheets. But as your business scales, relying on gut instinct or simply checking your bank balance to see if you're successful becomes a dangerous game. If you're only looking at your numbers once a year at tax time, you aren't driving your business—you're just reacting to it.Our guest today is here to take the fear out of finance. Danielle Hayden went from working behind a salon chair to earning her CPA and stepping into the corporate boardroom as a CFO. Today, she is the founder of Kickstart Accounting Inc., where her team of nearly 50 professionals has helped thousands of small business owners transition from emotional guessing to data-driven confidence.Whether you are trying to price your services for true profit, looking to make your next big hire, or ready to step into your true power as a CEO, today's conversation is an essential roadmap for turning financial clarity into a massive competitive advantage. Please join me for my conversation with Danielle HaydenGuest Bio: Danielle Hayden started her career behind the salon chair. Working as a hairdresser, she discovered she had a knack for using numbers to help herself and the people around her hit their goals. That instinct sent her back to school, through a CPA and a master's in accounting, and into the corporate boardroom as a CFO. After more than a decade there, she left to build Kickstart Accounting Inc., where her team is nearly 50 now and has served thousands of small business owners through bookkeeping, CFO services, and tax preparation.Danielle's approach starts with the foundation: clean books, the right systems, and a clear picture of cash and profit. From there, she teaches business owners to use their numbers every month, not just at tax time.

Tyler Johns and Lance Taylor are back on The Next Reel for a movie-packed episode featuring weekend watch recaps, classic film talk and a confession-style main topic: famous movies they somehow still have not seen. Before revealing their biggest movie blind spots, Tyler and Lance break down what they watched recently, including Alfred Hitchcock's Strangers on a Train, the brand new Toy Story 5, the legacy of Toy Story, the 1984 adventure drama The Bounty, reviewing The Death of Robin Hood, the classic western High Noon, an Apple TV thriller and more. Then, the guys dive into a list of their most surprising movie blind spots — popular films, all-time classics, sports favorites, comedies, thrillers and pop-culture staples that everyone assumes they have seen, but somehow missed. Some picks are shocking because of how iconic they are. Others are embarrassing because they fit perfectly into each host's taste. And a few will make you ask: “How have you never seen THAT?” The guys also discuss how certain movies become part of pop culture even if people have never actually watched them, why some classics feel impossible to avoid, and whether knowing the quotes, scenes or reputation of a movie counts as truly knowing it. What famous movie have YOU somehow never seen? Drop your biggest movie blind spot in the comments.
You've got the retirement numbers all figured out. You're set. But - how will you fill your time on random Tuesday in Year 4 of retirement? Do you have that kind of "soft stuff" figured out? If not, this episode is for you. Looking for a financial planner? → PlanWithJesse.com In this episode, Jesse challenges the traditional, finance-centric view of retirement by arguing that long-term financial readiness is only part of the equation, and that the real risks often emerge in the softer domains of identity, relationships, and daily structure once work disappears. He begins by examining identity loss in retirement, highlighting how deeply career roles anchor meaning and how the transition away from a professional identity can trigger confusion or even depression, especially for high-achieving individuals, before introducing practical exercises like writing a retirement bio and deliberately defining post-career roles that create purpose and accountability. He then turns to relationships, emphasizing that work provides an often invisible social infrastructure built on proximity, repetition, and shared mission, and warns that many of these connections do not survive retirement unless intentionally replaced through external communities, recurring activities, and honest planning with a partner about post-work social life. In the third pillar, structured time, he explores how the loss of externally imposed schedules can lead to boredom, drift, and overreliance on low-value distractions like social media, arguing instead for a flexible "retirement rhythm" made up of consistent anchors such as morning routines, physical activity, social commitments, and long-term projects that provide shape without rigidity. He then expands into a series of behavioral and psychological pitfalls—including the end-of-history illusion, arrival fallacy, hedonic adaptation, productivity compulsion, and competence withdrawal—each illustrating how retirees misjudge their future preferences, overestimate lasting satisfaction, or struggle with the loss of daily mastery and external validation. He concludes by reframing retirement success as a system of intentional design rather than passive financial achievement, stressing that while portfolios may fund retirement, it is identity, connection, and structure that ultimately determine whether that retirement feels meaningful or disorienting. Key Takeaways: • Retirement readiness is not only financial; psychological and structural factors often dominate outcomes. Defining 2–3 meaningful roles creates structure and accountability in retirement. • Workplace relationships are largely built on proximity and do not automatically persist. Retirees should intentionally build non work social networks before leaving work. • Retirement removes external scheduling pressure, increasing risk of aimlessness. • Core weekly anchors include routine, physical activity, social ties, and projects. • Psychological biases like the arrival fallacy and hedonic treadmill distort expectations of retirement satisfaction. • Successful retirement depends on deliberately designing identity, relationships, and structure—not assuming they will emerge automatically.

The conversation centers around newly reported findings involving the use of ivermectin and mebendazole in cancer patients. Dr. McCullough explains how observational data collected through The Wellness Company and the McCullough Foundation showed an 84% positive response signal among participants, including cases of remission, disease stabilization, and reductions in tumor burden. He discusses the biological mechanisms being investigated, including effects on cancer cell proliferation, blood supply, and apoptosis. Beyond cancer treatment, Josh and Dr. McCullough explore the broader epidemic of chronic illness. They examine the dramatic rise in inflammatory bowel diseases such as Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, the role of environmental exposures, immune dysregulation, microbiome disruption, and the growing evidence that many chronic conditions may be driven by root-cause factors rather than purely genetic predisposition. If you're interested in gut health, inflammation, the microbiome, immune function, cancer prevention, or root-cause medicine, this episode offers a thought-provoking look at some of the most important health conversations happening today.

This episode invites honest reflection and sets the tone for future-focused leadership. Because seeing yourself clearly isn't just a skill—it's a responsibility.

The need to identify and understand our blindspots in order to develop our leadership further is natural. We also tend to struggle to accept the idea once we learned our blindspots and that's also normal as we are indeed blind to our weak points. In today's conversation, we'll discover your blindspots by knowing how it gets created in the first place. I'll discuss why our blindspots are a function of our fears, judgements, and significance on our way of being. I'll also share how we are exceptionalizing ourselves from these blindspots, how it creates an impact on our leadership structure, and why trust is needed when you want to know your blindspots. Additionally, something exciting is coming soon as I invite you to experience being a leader yourself at the moment.

What if the worldview functioning as an opiate today is not religion, but its absence? In this field notes episode of Inquiry, Kelly Chase examines atheism not as a private belief or philosophical conclusion, but as a very recent mass cultural formation that now functions as the default worldview of educated Western society. Beginning with Marx's famous claim that religion is the opiate of the masses, she asks whether modern secular materialism may now be serving a similar sedating function by making vast areas of human experience feel intellectually off-limits. From there, the episode turns toward elite metaphysics. The public is often told that materialism is the rational, mature, evidence-based position, yet many of the people and institutions shaping the future take seriously spirituality, consciousness, simulation theory, mysticism, ritual, and esoteric frameworks. The question is not whether any single belief system is true, but whether citizens trained to dismiss the symbolic and metaphysical have been given a map that cannot represent the terrain power is actually navigating. Finally, the episode considers the empirical and philosophical pressure points inside strict materialism: the hard problem of consciousness, near-death experience research, the PEAR Lab at Princeton, Dean Radin's work at the Institute of Noetic Sciences, and anomalous findings that are usually met not with rigorous refutation but with studied disregard. These findings are not treated as proof of any particular metaphysics. They are treated as evidence that the question remains open, and that a genuine skeptic should apply suspicion not only to extraordinary claims, but to the dominant worldview that decides in advance which claims are allowed to count. Topics explored: Marx and religion | opiate of the masses | atheism as ideology | secularization | materialism | consciousness | the hard problem | non-material reality | elite belief | WEF and spirituality | Silicon Valley mysticism | simulation theory | René Girard | Peter Thiel | Elon Musk | Bohemian Grove | ritual and power | Skull and Bones | esotericism | operative metaphysics | near-death experiences | PEAR Lab | Dean Radin | anomalous cognition | mind-matter interaction | dogma and skepticism | worldview enforcement | social sanction | epistemic humility | the metaphysics of power Inquiry with Kelly Chase is brought to you by SpectreVision Radio.Produced in partnership with Voltage.fm.

Reactive Distraction and Self-Sabotage: Protecting Your Boundaries Juan talks about recording this short episode while feeling time pressure to get home to help his sick wife and 1-year-old, using this as an example of "reactive distraction" in his BS (blind spot) model: leaking energy by reacting to interruptions and obligations that don't match the urgency. He shares cases like choosing to help a friend despite needing to work, getting calls from daycare about his 3-year-old's anxiety-related "sickness," taking a non-urgent call during a cautious gym session with an injured ankle, and home contractors running late, all of which trigger guilt, people-pleasing, or avoidance of harder tasks. He argues the issue isn't the events but the mindset and lowered boundaries, and urges listeners to identify where they unconsciously "lower the drawbridge," calibrate responses to true urgency, and protect time without becoming rigid or militant. 00:00 Why I Self Sabotage 00:58 Reactive Distraction Explained 01:25 Gas Tank Analogy 02:08 Helping Drew vs Work 03:13 Daycare Call Dilemma 05:19 Gym Injury and Phone Call 06:52 Contractor Chaos at Home 07:41 Boundaries and Blind Spots 09:42 Call to Action and Wrap Up

Dr. John explains psychological blind spots drawing on organizational psychologist Tasha Eurich's research that while most people believe they're self-aware, only 12–15% actually are. He distinguishes internal self-awareness (knowing your values, emotions, motivations) from external self-awareness (knowing how others experience you), noting they aren't strongly correlated and blind spots live in the gap. He outlines why blind spots persist—self-protection, threat-based defensiveness, and success masking dysfunction—then offers a practical process: choose 2–5 honest, non-dependent “mirrors,” ask specific stress-and-conflict questions, listen without defending, look for repeated patterns, and separate intent from impact. He emphasizes emotional regulation and turning blind spots into growth edges through naming, tracking, and small behavioral experiments, and introduces Proximity Coaching (live biweekly groups plus an always available AI coach) before concluding that real self-awareness includes knowing how you make others feel.00:52 Self Awareness Myth01:59 Two Types Awareness03:32 Why Blind Spots Happen05:16 Common Blind Spot Examples06:05 Ask What Not Why07:10 Find The Right Mirror08:38 Spot Patterns And Impact09:33 Regulate Emotions For Feedback10:10 Turn Insight Into Change11:47 Why It Matters12:10 Proximity Coaching Offer14:38 Final TakeawaysFor Fewer Regrets and Greater Connection?

Michael Prokopis is the CEO of DARVIS, an AI-powered company transforming healthcare inventory management through real-time visibility and autonomous solutions. Under his leadership, DARVIS is helping health systems use AI and computer vision to improve inventory accuracy, reduce waste, and prevent stockouts. Prior to DARVIS, he held senior roles at institutions including MD Anderson Cancer Center and Steward Health Care. A former US Navy Surface Warfare Officer, Michael has managed $3.2B+ in spending and driven $360M+ in savings through operational transformation and efficiency programs. In this episode… Healthcare supply chains operate under constant pressure, where missing inventory can delay care, increase costs, and create major operational headaches. Yet many hospitals still rely on outdated manual tracking systems that lack real-time visibility. How can AI help healthcare systems reduce waste, prevent shortages, and make smarter inventory decisions? For Michael Prokopis, a healthcare supply chain and operations veteran, the answer lies in combining AI-powered computer vision with real-time inventory intelligence. He highlights how DARVIS uses camera-based AI systems to track thousands of medical products across large hospital systems, reduce manual labor, and prevent costly stockouts. This technology helps healthcare teams automate replenishment, improve forecasting, and respond faster during supply disruptions.
