Podcasts about blind spots

Across two gripping segments, the host pulls back the curtain on what they see as coordinated media silence, political complicity, and institutional collapse. First, a frustrated analysis of the elusive "Big Beautiful Bill" reveals a troubling lack of transparency—even among conservative outlets—amid warnings of debt downgrades, weakened financial institutions, and reckless monetary policy. Then, the focus shifts to a chilling story of 300,000 missing migrant children, reportedly handed off to unvetted sponsors with fake addresses under the Biden administration. With firsthand accounts from former officials and disturbing details of child exploitation, the host exposes what they call a systemic failure with devastating human consequences—all buried beneath layers of distraction and denial.

Hearing God's Word is one thing, but doing it is another. In James 1:19-27, we're reminded that real faith requires action. This week, Pastor Khalid challenges us to prepare our hearts so that we can be doers of the Word, not just hearers. It's time to live out what we believe and let our actions reflect our faith.Watch now and take the first step toward active obedience!

In this episode of Life of a CISO, Dr. Eric Cole shines a spotlight on a critical blind spot that many Chief Information Security Officers overlook: legal liability. While CISOs are often highly skilled and technically knowledgeable, it's what they don't know—particularly about their legal exposure—that can put them at serious risk. Dr. Cole explains that many CISOs hold the title of “chief” without realizing they may not officially be corporate officers, and that distinction matters. If you are considered a true officer of the company, you may be personally liable for failures or breaches, even if you weren't the root cause. He urges CISOs to ask the right questions during negotiations, ensure they understand their official role, and protect themselves with legal counsel and proper insurance coverage. He goes on to emphasize the importance of understanding how communication becomes evidence at the executive level. In today's digital world, emails and text messages are no longer just conversations—they are legal records that can be used for or against you. Dr. Cole discusses how even a lack of written documentation can lead to lawsuits or termination if it's perceived that a CISO failed to inform the board about a critical risk. However, over-documenting can also backfire by making colleagues uncomfortable or wary. This delicate balance between transparency and discretion is a key leadership skill every CISO must develop. Ultimately, this episode is a wake-up call to every cybersecurity leader: the higher you rise, the more you must be aware of the legal and personal implications of your role.

Seeing the Unseen: Kevin's Journey Through Business, Blind Spots, and Redemption In this deeply introspective episode of the Breakfast Leadership Show, I sat down with Kevin, a business owner and consultant whose journey is as cautionary as it is inspiring. Kevin pulls back the curtain on his early days—driven, ambitious, but unaware of the blind spots that would later cost him everything. From selling a business during the height of the .com boom to entering a consulting deal that spiraled into a federal fraud case, Kevin's story is a sobering reminder of how even well-intentioned professionals can find themselves in unthinkable circumstances. His experience led to 33 months in federal prison for a crime he didn't knowingly commit. But Kevin's story doesn't end in incarceration—it begins there. What followed was a profound period of personal growth. Kevin speaks candidly about the thinking errors and unconscious biases that clouded his judgment and how this hard-earned clarity sparked a lifelong commitment to self-awareness and helping others see what they might be missing. Together, we explored the dangers of overlooked blind spots in leadership—how they lead to disengagement, poor communication, and costly turnover. We talked about the Gallup report highlighting the steep drop in employee engagement and what organizations must do to reverse that trend. Hint: it starts with middle management and a real investment in people—not just performance. Kevin also introduced his Blind Spot Assessment, a powerful tool used by organizations including the American Board of Radiology to identify and address cognitive gaps in leaders. Whether for candidate screening or leadership development, it's becoming a game-changer in building healthier workplace cultures. This episode is a masterclass in leadership accountability, personal transformation, and the human capacity to rise from failure. Kevin's bestselling book, Blind Spots: Why Good People Make Bad Choices, dives even deeper into his story—and it's well worth the read. If you've ever wondered how a leader can go from success to setback and back again—this one's for you. Website:  https://BlindSpots.com Book:  https://amzn.to/3YMsJfQ

We dive into Dave's journey and his ST+ICE=P Formula, which stands for Strengthen the Team + Improve the Customer Experience = Profit.

And my guest here is Dave Molenda, who is a business and sales coach, speaker, best-selling author and the host of the wonderful Positive Polarity podcast. Dave, welcome to the show. Hi, Steve. how are you today? I'm doing pretty good because I'm meeting you, so it's already injecting some positivity in my day. Well good, I'm honored to be hanging out with you and thanks to you for being on our episode 260. I loved our question, “does your business have Covid?” That was a blast. So that was a great episode. So, for anyone listening, if you wonder if your business has Covid, I'm not going to tell you anything else other than head over and listen to Steve's answer to that question. It was awesome. Well, hopefully your business doesn't have Covid because it's a potentially lethal malady. Exactly. For sure. But it was, it really was a fun episode and we created a lot of snippets that we put on our website, so we definitely are excited about it. Awesome. But we're not going to talk about this because we are going to talk about your stuff and what you are doing because it is at least as good, if not better, and we are going to dive into your frameworks, your book and all your experiences, your “Why” and all that good stuff. So, are you ready? I'm ready. I got my seatbelt on. I'm all set here so we can go as fast or as slow as you want. Okay, so let's fast track into my favorite question. What is your personal “Why,” Dave? And how are you manifesting it in your practice and in your business? Yeah, for sure. I tell you, it's interesting, Steve. I love the name of your podcast, using a blueprint as a framework, because I can't believe how many people start and try to grow a business without a blueprint, without some kind of framework. So I love unpacking that with you on my show. But my “Why” is for all the people that are out there that are so good at what they do, they're good at their craft, they're good at their skill, whether it's building a house, whether it's selling something, whatever it is, making something, they're so good at that. But boy, they struggle when asking the question about, how do I grow this business? How do I create a team? How do I develop this team? How do I make this a long-lasting business? So my “Why” is really coming alongside of those people. Again, genuine people, really good at what they do, but they very often are struggling with what to do once they have gotten to the end so far.Share on X They've asked all their neighbors and friends, they've asked all their acquaintances to buy whatever they have. I don't know about you, but we get inundated with all the Girl Scout cookies from all your friends and family. But rarely do you get a knock on the door from somebody that you don't know. So my whole goal is to help businesses that are struggling, that want to grow. And so we come alongside them and help them again and create a blueprint different than yours. Our blueprint a lot of times involves the customer.

When we look to someone for answers, 'I don't know' is maybe the last thing we want to hear. But it could be one of the best things a leader can say - a gateway to honesty, curiosity, and flexibility, to a bigger picture, to much better decisions, and to a revolutionary process called 'blindspotting'. Renowned leadership and management thought leader and author Dr Kristin Ferguson leads Osher through this process, with examples of just how much it can change our business and personal lives.

Let me know your thoughts about the podcast. Thank you for listening!Ever wonder why some people seem to effortlessly find meaningful relationships while others remain stuck in an endless cycle of first dates? The answer might be hiding in plain sight—or rather, on the back of your metaphorical shirt.Coach Ratner introduces us to a powerful concept borrowed from Mike Zaney's "The Science of Dreams": we all wear shirts with writing on both sides. The front displays our strengths and positive qualities that both we and others can see. But the back—visible only to others—reveals our blind spots, those habits and traits that may be sabotaging our relationships without our knowledge.These blind spots range from poor listening skills to dominating conversations, from social awkwardness to hygiene issues. The truly self-aware dater doesn't just highlight their positive attributes but actively seeks feedback about these hidden flaws. Don't wait until a relationship is unraveling to seek guidance—invest in understanding your blind spots now. Your path to lasting love might begin with the simple act of having someone brave enough to read what's written on the back of your shirt—and you being courageous enough to listen.

Most businesses aren't failing because of poor products but because they've become strategically invisible to customers, suffering from what I call "Same-Shit Syndrome" where brands blend together in consumers' minds. Psychological blind spots create a knowledge gap between what business owners see in their brands versus what customers perceive, making strategic repositioning essential for standing out and surviving in changing markets.Episode mentions:Watch the Selective Attention TestWatch the Old Spice Ad: The Man Your Man Can Smell LikeJoin our free 5-day email series "The Gap Strategy" and find the opportunities to make your brand truly stand out.Send us a textVisit https://youroneandonly.com.au/ Follow YO&O on IG https://www.instagram.com/youroneandonly_au/Follow Tara on IG https://www.instagram.com/iamtaraladd/Connect with Tara on https://www.linkedin.com/in/tarajoyladd/Sign up for the Design Mind Theory Email – See how other Brands use psychology to nail their strategies.

FROM THE VAULT: Initially released in August of 2021

In this powerful episode of Life of a CISO, Dr. Eric Cole opens by highlighting a key success principle: even the world's top performers — whether in sports, business, or entertainment — rely on coaches to help them spot their blind spots. Drawing from his deep experience coaching CISOs, Dr. Cole shares that cybersecurity leaders are no different. They often miss critical areas simply because they're too focused on day-to-day operations. He emphasizes that one of the most common blind spots for CISOs is the unrealistic pursuit of 100% security, which simply doesn't exist. As Dr. Cole reminds us, every added functionality in a business decreases security — and breaches are not a question of if but when. The episode dives deep into the mindset shift every CISO must make: embracing the breach. This doesn't mean accepting failure, but rather committing to early detection, fast response, and minimizing business impact when an incident occurs. Dr. Cole stresses that a CISO's survival depends on aligning with executives early, clearly communicating that breaches are inevitable, and setting realistic expectations. Without that alignment, companies often fire the CISO after a breach — not because of the breach itself, but because of failed communication. To prevent this, Dr. Cole recommends that CISOs regularly update executives with simple, non-technical risk reports that show the likelihood, potential cost, and status of key security threats. By turning security into a transparent business conversation, CISOs can transform from scapegoats to trusted advisors — even in the face of attacks.

This week, in Episode 244, Jennifer Kerhin, Jaci Russo, and Sarah Segal talk about how they've been using ChatGPT. Jennifer has deputized the AI chatbot as a key advisor, feeding it all kinds of performance data and soliciting its analysis before making hiring, financial, and strategic decisions. Recently, she asked it to identify her biggest blind spots as a CEO. Five seconds later, it spat out five answers with detailed explanations and suggestions. And what did Jennifer think of the feedback? “It was right on,” she tells us. “I mean, it was totally, absolutely true.” We even brought ChatGPT into our conversation in real time, asking it whether Jaci had hired the right business development person, whether Sarah had been fully prepared two years ago to buy back her PR firm, and what's the best podcast for small business owners. Plus: while we were talking, Jaci asked ChatGPT to evaluate the performance of her co-founder and spouse, MIchael. Let's just say, it does have some concerns.

Complaining isn't just harmless venting—it's a blind spot that can block us from fully trusting God.

Choosing a Niche and Solving their Common Blind Spot Tim's agency name, Discover Blind Spots, originated from a book he had written years before contemplating entrepreneurship. In "Blind Spots: What You Don't See Can Hurt You," he explored various cognitive and perceptual gaps people commonly experience. During his research, he found one theme kept coming up: communication failures. With entrepreneurial insight, Tim recognized this widespread communication gap as a potential business opportunity. He launched his venture with an ambitious vision of transforming business owners' careers through improved communication. Despite starting with no clients and no immediate prospects, he couldn't let go of the idea without at least trying. Initially, he started by offering his services for free asking only for positive reviews, aiming to build credibility and visibility. However, the true turning point came unexpectedly during a conversation with a friend who was a financial advisor. During their conversation, Tim inquired about his friend's client relationship management approach and got the typical answer of meeting with them for lunch every once in a while. When Tim learned his friend had approximately 300 clients but had only arranged a handful of lunches that year, he saw an opportunity to fill that communicational gap and offered a tailored solution that included creating content, both video and written that would reflect the advisor's voice and perspective, to authentically communicate and engage with his clients. It was a risk to pivot his focus towards financial advisors, a sector he had not originally planned to target, but it was this very risk that led to the establishment of a successful niche for his agency. Transitioning to Premium Pricing Based on Value While that was his first introduction to what would become his niche going forward, it did not immediately translate into paid work. The relationship with this financial advisor served as a crucial stepping stone rather than a direct revenue source. That milestone came later, as Tim's friend introduced him and recommended him to more potential clients and his opportunities in the sector grew. Once he saw the opportunity to monetize his services, Tim started by charging a modest $500 per project, a common approach among agency owners. Finally, once he landed his first big client, he was asked to come up with a monthly fee and upgraded to charging $5,000 per month. It was a shift to a value-based pricing model most agency owners take too long to adopt and a starting point to truly start scaling the agency. 2 Key Elements of Top-Notch Client Communication We've all experienced customer service that starts strong during the sales process but deteriorates once the purchase is complete. Poor follow-up communication leaves clients with unanswered questions about their purchase, casting a negative shadow over the entire experience. Responsiveness: Tim believes silence is the enemy in client relationships. He says there's never a good reason to allow communication gaps that make clients question the relationship. Likewise, he warns against applying a transactional mindset to a relationship-driven business. This only serves to frustrate clients and lead to missed opportunities. Being responsive doesn't mean having immediate answers or dropping everything to find them. Often, a simple acknowledgment that you don't have the information yet but are working to get it promptly can significantly reassure clients. Adaptability: Another key aspect of Tim's approach is identifying each client's preferred communication channel early in the relationship. People have different preferences—some avoid phone calls and find emails to be less intrusive while others prefer them as a quicker way to solve an issue. By adapting to the client's preferred mode of communication, agencies can save considerable time and stress. Interestingly, if you're attentive, clients often reveal their communication preferences through their behavior without you having to ask directly. For instance, if a client rarely responds to emails but answers calls promptly, they likely prefer handling matters quickly by phone. Taking the extra effort to communicate in a style that resonates with each client leads to faster resolutions and more productive partnerships. Allowing Clients to Have the Spotlight Leads to Trust & Effective Communication Tim's efforts to adapt to clients have extended beyond just communication channels to improve the overall client experience, particularly during initial meetings. Traditionally, he would schedule two-hour sessions packed with questions, aiming to leave with a comprehensive 90-day action plan. More recently, however, he began to start the meeting by asking the client “tell me a little about yourself”. This can lead to a 5-minute summary or a 30-minute account of their business' history but Tim finds letting the client feel heard helps out them at ease and leads to smoother more amicable meetings. As an expert, you might quickly identify solutions to a client's problems within minutes of meeting them. However, rushing to provide answers won't help establish the trust necessary for a successful partnership. Building that sense of safety requires patience—sitting back and truly listening as clients share what they believe is essential information. This approach enables them to feel confident that you have a complete understanding of their situation before developing an action plan.  People have a fundamental desire to be understood. By creating space for clients to share their stories and experiences, businesses can cultivate meaningful trust and rapport that serve as the bedrock for successful long-term relationships.

What if the key to standing out wasn't about doing things better than your competitors, but about focusing on what they're not doing at all? In this episode, I'm sharing a personal story from my college swimming days where trying too hard to beat the competition led me to make a costly mistake—and a crucial lesson in marketing strategy.You'll hear about reverse benchmarking, a concept from U.K. marketer Rory Sutherland, and how it helped one restaurant redefine their service by focusing on what others were neglecting.

Jon Herold welcomes special guest Dr. Mary Talley Bowden for a powerful and candid conversation about the lingering fallout from COVID-era medical tyranny, the ongoing fight against mandated medicine, and the silence from leaders who should know better. Dr. Bowden shares her story of being publicly punished by Houston Methodist for speaking out on vaccine efficacy and adverse outcomes, despite never using her privileges there, and the legal battle she's now facing for attempting to prescribe ivermectin under court order. The conversation dives into the chilling Massachusetts case where children were seized from their parents for refusing to vaccinate, the need for a constitutional amendment to ban medical mandates, and the frustrating disconnect between the “Make America Healthy Again” movement and the frontline doctors who sacrificed to tell the truth. Dr. Bowden also discusses ivermectin's potential cancer-fighting use, RFK Jr.'s mixed messaging, and how regular citizens are sparking meaningful legislative change. After the interview, Jon pivots to economic strategy, Biden's odd return to the spotlight, Trump's tariff playbook, the battle over Harvard's federal funding, and the White House's push to slash foreign aid and defund NPR. A jam-packed episode full of fire, facts, and fearless questions.

In this message, Pastor Khalid continues our Blind Spots series by exposing the dangerous spiritual symptoms of jealousy.Looking at 1 Samuel 18-19, we see how Saul's “jealous eye” on David opened the door for manipulation, a murderous spirit, and other destructive intentions to take root in his heart.

When people come into coaching or getting into leadership conversation, the starting point is a question of "What do you want to do?" One of the most common things leadership coaches hear is that people want to see their blind spots. The reason that being eager to see your blind spot is problematic is that inquiry allows you to avoid putting any skin in the game.  Listen as Adam Quiney talks about the fallacy of seeing a person's blind spot, and how you can put your attention on other things than focusing on seeing your blind spot. Enjoy the show!

Capitalizing on the Infrastructure giants' Blind Spots: How can a specialised PE fund thrive under the new US Administration?The Energy Transition encompasses more than just power and AI. We have chosen to explore the niche yet crucial areas of waste gas, biofuels, sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), and emissions capture.At the heart of this journey is Cresta, a $2 billion specialist fund positioned at the intersection of Private Equity and Infrastructure. Chris Rozzell, the fund's Managing Partner, shares insights on how a fund focused on industrial sectors can thrive in underappreciated sub-sectors like mid-stream infrastructure—areas often overlooked by larger, more traditional funds.By adopting a strategy akin to a scavenger's approach, Cresta has capitalized on these opportunities. Chris also discusses the impact of the new US administration on his investment thesis and why choosing the Zag when everyone else is choosing the Zig has proven to be highly profitable.While the Energy Transition is multifaceted, it is also fraught with blind spots. Cresta stands as a prime example of how industrial expertise can drive meaningful decarbonization efforts.The discussion in this podcast is for informational purposes and should not be relied on as investment advice or an offer to sell or a solicitation for an offer to buy any securities.

Show Notes: Are you truly aware of the emotional blind spots that might be holding you back in your relationships, faith, and personal growth? In this episode, Lindsey Maestas dives into the power of conviction, the importance of self-awareness, choosing sin, and spiritual complacency. Lindsey thought of a random ChatGPT prompt on her drive home from Florida and realized how helpful it was. This prompt helped her to explore hidden thought patterns, emotional wounds, and unhealthy habits that impact her daily life. James 1:22 reminds us not to just hear the Word but to do what it says, because ignoring, or justifying, conviction is self-deception.  If you've ever struggled with repeating the same mistakes, feeling stuck in unhealthy cycles, or wondering why certain relationships feel strained, this episode is for you. We talk about living out true repentance, not just feeling guilty but actively making changes with God's help. Self-awareness isn't about self-improvement alone—it's about surrendering to Jesus and letting His conviction shape us into who we're meant to be. Whether you're dealing with pride, control, defensiveness, or fear, God is calling you to more.  Don't forget to rate and review and subscribe for more episodes like this every week! Love you all!
