In this episode of 'Resilience Unravelled,' host Dr. Russell Thackeray welcomes Kevin McCarthy, a former entrepreneur turned consultant, who shares his remarkable life story. From becoming a paper millionaire during the late 90's dot-com bubble to losing everything and eventually spending 33 months in a federal prison for unknowingly committing a crime under a deceptive boss, Kevin discusses the concept of 'blind spots.' These blind spots, which include unconscious biases, thinking errors, and limiting beliefs, cloud our judgments and can lead to destructive behaviours. Kevin highlights how his time in prison led him to self-reflect, study cognitive psychology, and ultimately write his book 'Blind Spots: Why Good People Make Bad Choices.' He explains his approach to addressing blind spots through self-awareness and feedback, along with details about his blind spot assessment tool based on the DISC framework. Kevin also emphasizes the importance of choice in finding purpose and resiliency.00:00 Introduction and Guest Welcome00:19 Kevin's Entrepreneurial Journey01:00 The Downfall and Prison Experience05:44 Understanding Blind Spots06:42 Unconscious Bias and Thinking Errors11:39 Leadership and Self-Reflection20:08 Navigating Prison Life23:45 Finding Purpose and Resilience24:02 Conclusion and Contact InformationYou can contact us at info@qedod.comResources can be found online or link to our website https://resilienceunravelled.com

We are patterned beings, and the patterns we live get started very early in our lives. They bring both blessings and blind-spots. One of the great opportunities of a well-lived life is to come to see the patterns, inquire into them, and find ways to open more spaciousness in us than the patterns have allowed so far. This is what we might call ‘growth' or ‘development'. In this conversation we talk about what it takes to do this, and about the Enneagram, a wise, kind and deep body of language and invitation that we have both found incredibly helpful in walking this path. This week's conversation is hosted, as always, by Lizzie Winn and Justin Wise of Thirdspace.

These are our blindspots.  When we remain unaware of these key aspects of our experience, we stay blind to the impact they have on how we think, feel and act.  And this explains why we can be said to be ‘asleep' - going through life like zombies.  To wake up from this state, we must confront the ego - as well as the Shadow cast by the ego.  We need to become aware of the automatic habits that structure our defensive egoist persona, as well as all that remains unconscious in us connected to our ego's need to protect itself.  This self-protective persona keeps us focused on its needs and prevents us from feeling pain - or joy - condemning us to a kind of waking sleep in which we don't know who we are and what's possible for us.   We suppress these shadow elements because they create pain or challenge our self image.  By making these elements more conscious, however, we become more self aware and whole.  Without facing them, we can never know ourselves as we actually are.  When we don't see and own the unconscious tendencies connected to the personality, we stay focused on (and limited by) we are held hostage to who we think we are or who we fear we are or who we would like to be.  When we move beyond the ego and actively engage in the process of growth that the enneagram maps out for us, we begin to awaken to our full potential.

Guest post by Christine Ramsey, Head of Client Operations Klearcom They say that "the worst type of problem is the one you can't see." This is especially true when it comes to empowering and enhancing Customer Experience (CX). For a business, there are very few challenges more costly than a poor customer journey or a negative review. In fact, one bad review can cause significant damage to a brand. As well as jeopardising customer retention, substandard CX can prevent referrals, undermine brand trust and hinder business growth. Given its impact on a company's long-term success, it is therefore imperative that CX is both tested and trusted. This means uncovering and understanding any blind spots (those problems that are hard or impossible to see) which could affect customer service and confidence levels. For multinational companies serving global customer bases, these undetected issues - such as poor call quality, communication errors and misrouted calls - across their Interactive Voice Response (IVR) systems could not only be disruptive but also brand damaging. IVR systems allow businesses to automate call interactions through the use of voice prompts and DTMF inputs. IVR systems are therefore intended to save businesses time and money, while seamlessly and successfully transferring the customer to the desired department or getting them to a resolution quickly through self-serve options. However, if unchecked and untested, blind spots in IVR systems can have the opposite effect - causing delays, customer frustration, and in more serious cases, even system outages. Because they tend to fly under the radar, they often affect customers long before anyone on the client side realizes there's a problem (which can be costly from a reputational and financial perspective.) For example, a customer trying to reach their network provider's service desk could be prompted by the IVR to state the desired department but then is misrouted to sales. Or there might be a customer service message during a holiday period which is incorrect, leading to confusion and dissatisfaction among large cohorts of customers. CX blind spots can have various knock-on effects on a business, from reputational damage and reduced revenues to customer churn and compliance failures. In sectors which are highly regulated or during peak periods when demand is high, blind spots can potentially be catastrophic. In addition, the aftermath of a blind spot or outage can negatively impact employee morale, with faults leading to more calls from frustrated customers, resulting in more pressure on staff. Testing IVR systems can ensure optimal performance and experience for all stakeholders. By identifying and rectifying blind spots, IVR testing drives success for both customers and businesses - upholding quality, empowering customer journeys, and reducing the risk of outages. Furthermore, Call Detail Records (CDRs) can assist organisations with technical information to get resolution on blind spots faster as it enables them to pinpoint exactly where the issues are and reduce time to resolution (TTR.) With tighter regulations and rising customer expectations, companies are feeling the pressure to deliver a standout customer experience. To keep up, they need to be proactively testing their systems to catch blind spots before they turn into outages or unhappy customers. At the end of the day, it's not just the customer journey on the line but the future of the business. See more stories here.

The standard of care for monitoring blood pressure during surgery hasn't changed in nearly 40 years, despite technological advances that could prevent serious complications and save lives. This eye-opening episode takes listeners inside a recent Capitol Hill briefing where healthcare professionals, lawmakers, and patient safety advocates made the case for continuous blood pressure monitoring as a critical patient safety measure.Alarming statistics frame the urgency of this issue: one in nine Americans undergoes surgery annually, with 88% experiencing potentially dangerous hypotension. Traditional arm cuffs that measure blood pressure only every few minutes leave dangerous blind spots where rapid drops may go undetected. The consequences can be devastating – kidney injury, heart damage, stroke, and even death. For pregnant women undergoing cesarean sections, the risks extend to their babies, with maternal hypotension potentially causing fetal acidosis and neurological compromise.With the United States maintaining the highest maternal mortality rate among wealthy nations and evidence showing that more than half of pregnancy-related deaths are potentially avoidable, this episode makes a powerful case for updating our standards. The technology exists, the evidence supports it, and the benefits are clear – it's time for healthcare providers, policymakers, and industry leaders to collaborate in making continuous blood pressure monitoring the new standard of care.Ready to become a champion for continuous blood pressure monitoring at your institution?

Think summer's a slow season? Think again. In this episode, we uncover the year-end blind spots that quietly sabotage your Q4 success. From skipping outreach to coasting through summer, here's how to stay sharp, sell smart, and set up a strong finish.

Life often feels like a carefully planned play, where we prepare, strategize, and expect things to unfold according to our vision. Yet, just as a quarterback can call an audible and change the play at the last second, God sometimes redirects our lives in ways we never anticipated. My own journey as a planner—both in my career as a fire chief and in my personal life—was upended when my wife Deanna went home to be with the Lord. All my meticulous plans were suddenly irrelevant, and I was left to wrestle with the reality of whether I truly trusted God with all my heart, or if I had been relying on my own understanding all along.Proverbs 3:5-6 became a lifeline: “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and do not depend on your own understanding. Seek his will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take.” These words are simple, but their depth is profound. It's easy to say we trust God, but when life's foundation is shaken, we discover the areas we've kept for ourselves, the places where we've asked God to bless our plans rather than seeking His will first. True faith means surrendering every area—family, work, finances, relationships, even our very purpose—to God's direction, making Him the center of our lives rather than just another part.A God-centered life is not about the absence of suffering or loss, but about trusting that God's purposes will prevail, even when we don't understand. We are called to seek Him in all things: through prayer, through the counsel of the Holy Spirit and the community of believers, and through obedience to His Word. God's will is not a mystery reserved for the few; it is revealed as we humble ourselves, relinquish control, and walk in daily dependence on Him. Even in our pain and confusion, God is working all things together for good, drawing us and others closer to Himself.Ultimately, our lives are not about our own achievements or plans, but about glorifying God, growing in Christ, and serving others. The gospel—the good news of Jesus' death and resurrection—is the centerpiece of God's plan, the ultimate expression of His love and purpose for us. We are invited to trust Him fully, to let go of the exhausting burden of trying to be in control, and to rest in the assurance that He is the perfect planner, guiding us every step of the way.

What happens when you stop trying to be good at everything and instead design your life around what you're naturally brilliant at?  Today we dive deep into the revolutionary concept of knowing your genius and strategically organizing your life around it to achieve success that only few can dream of - empowered by AI genius.  Breaking coffee plungers might seem like clumsiness, but what if these "flaws" are actually signposts pointing to your natural strengths? The traits that make us "elephants in china shops" in some contexts are often the very same qualities that make us exceptional in others. Those absorbed in deep thinking and pattern recognition might break a few things along the way, but they also see solutions that others miss.  This episode walks you through practical steps to identify your natural talents using proven assessment tools like DISC, CliftonStrengths, and the VIA Character Strengths Survey. We show you how to leverage modern AI tools to create personalized systems that both amplify your strengths and protect you from your blind spots. The goal isn't avoiding hard work, it's ensuring your efforts flow in the direction where you naturally excel.  Drawing inspiration from Yu-kai Chou's framework in "10 Hours of Play," we explore how extraordinary success comes from following your personal hero's journey.  Where are the doors wide open for your particular genius? How can you stop knocking on closed doors and instead find the places where your talents are valued like gold? When you operate in your zone of genius, hard work feels more like play as natural as swimming is for a fish.  Ready to transform your approach to success?  Take the strength assessments linked in our show notes, explore Cho's book, and use AI to build systems that support your natural brilliance.    Text Me Your Thoughts and IdeasSupport the showBrought to you by Angela Shurina Behavior-First Change Leadership & Culture Transformation ConsultantEXECUTIVE & OPTIMAL PERFORMANCE COACH

Leaders, Lead Well!What is one of the most overlooked threats to leadership effectiveness: Blind Spots. These aren't flaws of intelligence, character, or intention—they're gaps in self-awareness that quietly derail progress, erode trust, and limit impact. In short, they are the angles you can't see from where you're standing.Great leaders don't just seek answers—they seek perspective. Because what you don't know you're missing can hurt far more than what you know needs fixing.In this episode of Mainline Executive Coaching ACT, Rich and Maikel explore how to identify blind spots before they become breaking points—and how courage, humility, and meaningful feedback become the tools that sharpen your leadership edge.

What if the key to sustainable business growth isn't just about generating new leads, but about truly understanding and retaining your existing customers? Are you aware of the invisible forces sabotaging your efforts to create a loyal customer base—and, more importantly, what you can do to fix them? In my latest episode of the Delighted Customers podcast, I sit down with Roger Nicholas, co-author of The CX Lighthouse and a seasoned business growth leader who brings over 25 years of experience in revenue training, business operations, and CX execution. Roger breaks down the real reasons small to medium-sized businesses (SMBs) struggle with customer retention and reveals why traditional customer experience (CX) strategies are often missing the mark. He shows how using behavioral science and practical frameworks can help you identify your leadership blind spots, better understand your team and customers, and create CX strategies that actually move the needle. You should listen to Roger because he's not only walked the walk, driving growth for SMBs and enterprises alike, but he's also created a practical, actionable playbook tailored to businesses that don't have the massive resources of the Fortune 500. Together with his co-author, he demystifies CX, making it accessible—and adaptable—so listeners (whether startup founders or established leaders) can create systems that delight, differentiate, and drive referrals. If you want the blueprint for scaling your business through customer experience, Roger's insights are simply essential. Here are three thought-provoking questions Roger answers on this episode: What are the most common (and costly) leadership blind spots that undermine customer experience, and how can you spot them in yourself? Why is adapting (not just adopting) best-in-class CX strategies crucial for SMBs, and how do you tailor them to fit your unique customer needs and operational realities? How can businesses shift from reactive churn management to proactive customer retention—and what's the ROI boost you can expect from that shift? Don't miss this powerful conversation!

In this episode of the Global Medical Device Podcast, Etienne Nichols sits down with seasoned MedTech founder and investor Jon Bergsteinsson to unpack a critical—but often overlooked—topic: budgeting in early-stage medical device startups. Drawing from his deep regulatory, clinical, and investment experience, Jon shares the red flags investors look for, the cost categories that founders routinely miss, and why a line item called “compliance” just doesn't cut it. Whether you're a startup founder, a regulatory lead, or a project manager, this episode offers a sharp lens into the financial planning realities that can make or break product development and commercialization in MedTech.Key Timestamps02:34 – Why QMS, regulatory, and clinical are budget afterthoughts for startups06:45 – What separates experienced vs. inexperienced MedTech founders in budgeting10:20 – Why software and compliance tools get left out of early budgets14:12 – How missing budget detail impacts product quality and time-to-market19:04 – Red flags investors look for in MedTech startup budgets23:30 – How to improve budgeting accuracy without a CFO28:10 – Critical cost categories MedTech founders often overlook35:55 – Advice for recovering from a budgeting oversight39:40 – Comprehensive checklist of overlooked line items (manual translation, UDI, ISO licenses, and more)45:00 – Final advice: why networking trumps isolation for smarter budgetingStandout Quotes"Relying on the status quo is never good. There are always ways to do things better."Jon reminds founders and compliance professionals alike that innovation doesn't stop at the product level—it also applies to budgeting, systems, and team empowerment."Getting a 510(k) through is just the starting point. Budgeting like everything ends there is a massive red flag."This quote highlights the investor's perspective on sustainability and long-term thinking—crucial traits in any fundable founder.Key TakeawaysBroad Budget Buckets Signal InexperienceLumping all compliance-related costs under one line item may look tidy but signals to investors a lack of operational depth. Break out line items for QMS, clinical, regulatory, and software tools.Software and Tools Are Not Optional ExtrasFounders must factor in essential systems—like eQMS, CAD, risk management, and clinical data tools—early in budgeting. Assuming a single hire covers everything is a critical mistake.Budgets Must Reflect Time and Scale RealisticallyFlat budgets over 2–3 years, or those that assume regulatory costs end at market clearance, raise red flags. Investors expect dynamic budgeting that reflects the realities of growth, post-market surveillance, and team evolution.Outsourcing ≠ All-InclusiveMany startups underestimate the actual costs tied to consultants and CROs, assuming “someone else is handling it.” Always clarify what's included—and what's not.Recovery Is Possible—If You Own ItIf your budget's off-track, clear communication with your board and investors, a willingness to revise, and a plan for worst-case scenarios are your best tools for regaining credibility.ReferencesJon Bergsteinsson on LinkedInEtienne Nichols on LinkedInGreenlight Guru – QMS and Clinical platform for MedTech companiesMedTech...

Send us a textIn this revealing and supportive episode, host Andrea Atherton sits down with dating coach Lisa Angelini to explore the most common missteps we make when searching for connection and love. Together, they shed light on why so many of us enter relationships without true clarity, whether that's being unclear about what we want, failing to ask the right questions, or staying simply because someone likes us. They also unpack the emotional consequences of assuming exclusivity without real communication and how this can lead to heartbreak and disillusionment.Beyond identifying the patterns that keep us stuck, Andrea and Lisa offer grounded, heart-centered solutions to help listeners transform their dating lives. They speak to the power of approaching dating as a process of discovery—asking yourself do I actually like this person? Rather than seeking validation. You'll hear guidance on how to show up as your authentic self, how to clearly identify red flags and deal breakers (instead of bypassing them with hope or fantasy), and how to ask thoughtful, intentional questions that reveal who someone really is beneath the surface.Whether you've been caught in cycles of people-pleasing, stayed in situations that didn't feel right, or simply want to elevate the way you date, this episode is a loving reminder that clarity is an act of self-respect. Tune in to Episode 107 to reconnect with your inner compass, refine your dating approach, and remember that you get to choose who gets close to your heart.Lisa AngeliniLinkedIn:  https://www.linkedin.com/in/lisa-angelini-mapc-lpc-b0933812/https://www.facebook.com/lisa.angelini.52https://www.facebook.com/lisaangelinilpc/https://www.instagram.com/lisa.angelini/tiktok: @lisaangelinipllcSubstack: @thelisaangelini30-minute Consultation with Andrea https://www.andreaatherton.com/booking-calendarAndrea Atherton Websitehttps://www.andreaatherton.com/Love Anarchy Websitehttps://www.andreaatherton.com/podcasthttps://loveanarchypodcast.buzzsprout.comLove Anarchy Facebookhttps://www.facebook.com/loveanarchypodcast/Andrea Atherton Facebookhttps://www.facebook.com/andreaatherton-17/

Send us a textI'm joined by Peter Copeland, Deputy Director of Domestic Policy at the Macdonald-Laurier Institute, to unpack the truths and myths around Canada's border security. From fentanyl trafficking and human smuggling to legal blind spots and our fractured jurisdictional model, Peter offers a research-backed, nonpartisan perspective on the known unknowns we face. What can Canada learn from its allies? Why are our legal frameworks outdated? And is our public safety strategy more reactive than proactive?

Small business resilience is masking deeper economic strains, as recent surveys reveal that while many small businesses report growth and have maintained or increased their workforce, a significant portion still feels the adverse effects of current economic conditions. Despite 56% of small businesses indicating growth and 90% maintaining or increasing their workforce, 43% of entrepreneurs express that the economic landscape is detrimental to their operations. This contradiction highlights a fragile optimism among small businesses, which may continue to invest in technology but will demand more tangible value for their expenditures.In contrast, the sentiment among large corporate CEOs has plummeted, with the CEO Economic Outlook Index dropping to its lowest level since 2020. Over 40% of CEOs anticipate workforce reductions in the next six months, reflecting widespread concerns about hiring, investment, and sales growth. This decline is attributed to uncertainties surrounding trade policies, which could have ripple effects on vendor spending and longer sales cycles, particularly impacting high-end managed service providers (MSPs) that cater to mid-market or enterprise clients.The podcast also discusses the challenges posed by data blind spots in strategic planning, as federal hiring freezes and budget cuts are beginning to affect the quality of economic data produced by the U.S. government. The erosion of reliable statistics complicates decision-making for both policymakers and service providers, making it increasingly difficult to advise small businesses on risk and compliance. Additionally, a significant drop in employee confidence, particularly among young workers, raises concerns for MSPs managing support desks, as anxiety may lead to higher turnover and a greater need for effective communication and leadership.Finally, the episode highlights the rapid growth of the managed services sector, with projections indicating that the market will reach $608 billion globally. Companies like NinjaOne, Halo PSA, and Nerdio are experiencing significant growth, driven by their focus on user experience and cloud-based solutions.

Ever wonder what might be holding you or your team back—and you don't even see it?In Episode 172 of the Fly on the Wall Podcast, Chris Sonksen sits down with Pastor Travis for a conversation every church leader needs to hear: how to identify and address leadership blind spots before they cost you momentum, people, or growth.Blind spots aren't just about personal habits—they show up in our team dynamics, our leadership style, and the decisions we avoid making. But the good news? With the right perspective, you can catch them early and lead with greater clarity and confidence.In This Episode, You'll Learn:How to spot blind spots in yourself and your teamWhy some churches plateau—and how to make changes before that happensHow to have the tough conversations that create real alignmentWhat Gen Z is looking for in a church (and how to prepare for the future)Why entrepreneurial thinking is becoming essential in church leadershipIf you want to lead with greater insight and avoid the traps that keep churches stuck, this episode is for you.

In this episode, I speak to the quiet anxiety that so many high-functioning people carry: the belief that if they could just identify the "next right step," everything would click into place. And when they finally do feel clarity? That clarity is immediately followed by... doubt. "Am I missing something? Is there a blindspot I can't see?" Here's the truth: People chase "the next right step" as if there's a divine maze they might accidentally mess up. There is no cosmic scoring system determining whether your next step is "correct." The truth is: There is only resonance. Alignment is something to feel, not something that is validated by others' opinions. What if your felt sense of aliveness was the map? What if trusting yourself was the clearest confirmation you'll ever receive? And yes, of course you have blindspots. We all do. But living from fear of what you don't know is a subtle form of self-abandonment. When people say, "I'm wondering if I have blindspots," what they're often asking is: "Will someone please give me a reason not to trust what feels alive in me?" But the presence of unknowns doesn't invalidate your clarity. It just means you're human, walking by trust, not control. This conversation is a reminder: You don't need certainty to move forward. You just need permission to trust what's alive in you now.
