Send us a textWhat can a Star Wars show teach us about organizing, resistance, and healing? In this episode of the Amplify RJ Podcast, I sit down with strategist, therapist, and writer Gabes Torres to talk about Andor—yes, that Star Wars show—and what it reveals about real-life revolution.We dive into how Andor de-romanticizes rebellion and reflects the complex realities of movement work: the banality of evil, conflict in organizing, disposability culture, and the painful but necessary tension between rest and resistance. Gabes shares insights from their piece on the show, their organizing and healing work in the Global South, and the ways marine mammals and myth can inform our strategy.Whether or not you've seen the show, this conversation is about so much more than the galaxy far, far away—it's about our world and how we build toward collective liberation with nuance, integrity, and care.0:00 – Intro: What is Andor + Character Breakdown 5:20 – Meet Gabes Torres: Healer, Strategist, Rebel  9:42 – How Andor De-Romanticizes Revolution  14:20 – Disney, Propaganda & Revolutionary Storytelling  19:35 – The Banality of Evil in a Boardroom  25:00 – Real-World Parallels: Propaganda, Gaza, Gorman & Genocide  26:45 – Parenting, Powerlessness & Purpose  29:21 – Consciousness Building as Resistance  32:20 – Gabes on Luthen, Clea & Strategy in Movement  36:42 – Bix, Trauma & Knowing When to Step Back  40:28 – Organizing Through Burnout & Wavering Commitment  44:30 – Humananizing vs. Ruthless Sacrifice47:40 – Disposability Culture in Movements  49:10 – Disagreeing Is Not a Failure of Solidarity  52:00 – Addressing Conflict & Building in Organizing  56:20 –  Is there Shared Vision for Our Resistance?  1:00:23 – Activist Ecosystems, Movement Mentorship from Marine Mammals  1:07:30 – Upside Down Triangle: Rethinking Power  1:08:50 – Support Gabes & Psychosocial Care for Organizers  Connect with Gabes:https://gabestorres.com/https://www.instagram.com/gabestorres/Read her article: https://gabestorres.substack.com/p/andorSupport mental health care for organizers in the Global South https://gabestorres.com/support/Rep Amplify RJ Merch Connect with us on:Instagram, LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter, Threads, YouTube, and TikTok!SUPPORT by sharing this podcast and leaving a rating or review

Send us a textLife in community associations can feel like a pressure cooker—board members navigating tough calls, homeowners facing surprise assessments, and industry professionals managing nonstop demands. The common thread? Stress. In this week's Take It To The Board podcast, host Donna DiMaggio Berger welcomes Dr. Tai Johnson, a specialist in acupuncture and traditional Chinese medicine, for a fascinating conversation on how holistic practices—and understanding your body's meridians—can help ease the pressure for everyone.Donna and Dr. Johnson expertly break down the concept of "chi" – the vital energy that flows through our bodies – and explain how blockages created by stressors can be relieved through strategic needle placement. Dr. Johnson reveals how acupuncture shifts us from the sympathetic "fight-or-flight" state (where most of us constantly operate) to the parasympathetic "rest-and-digest" mode where healing can occur. This transition proves particularly valuable for those navigating the complex interpersonal dynamics of community governance.Beyond the needles, the conversation offers practical self-care techniques anyone can implement immediately. Learn about tongue diagnosis (what Dr. Johnson calls a "Chinese MRI"), the significance of ear massage, and how different body pains might reflect specific emotional patterns – lower back pain often signaling feelings of being unsupported-perfect for understanding board-related stress. Dr. Johnson also shares insights from her nonprofit work providing community acupuncture for veterans with PTSD, demonstrating the accessibility of this healing modality.While the tensions of community association living aren't disappearing anytime soon, this episode provides valuable tools to approach them with greater balance and resilience. Whether you're curious about Eastern medicine or desperately seeking stress relief, you'll walk away with practical techniques to incorporate into your busy life. Ready to rethink your approach to wellness? Your meridians might thank you. Conversation Highlights:Common misconceptions about acupunctureThe effect of acupuncture on the nervous systemSpecific acupuncture points effective for reducing stress and anxietyBenefits of acupuncture for sleep quality and mental clarity in leadership rolesAlternative traditional Chinese medicine techniques for stress relief (e.g., cupping, herbal remedies, acupressure)The role of meditation and breathwork in complementing acupuncture for stress managementQuick and actionable stress-relief techniques for those without time for regular sessionsSimple self-applied acupressure points for use during stressful moments like HOA meetings or negotiationsTips on choosing the right acupuncture practitioner for stress relief Related Links:Podcast: Radical Self-Care Can Change the World with Shelly Tygielski, Founder of Pandemic LovePodcast: The Mental Health Challenge with Chris Ayoub, President, RealManage

Welcome to Notable Leaders Radio! I'm Belinda Pruyne, in this milestone 100th episode, I'm celebrating the incredible guests who've shared their wisdom, courage, and vulnerable stories over the years.  In today's episode, we discuss: Discover the real journeys behind "overnight success" stories—Because you'll see that even the most accomplished leaders face setbacks and internal challenges, giving you permission to honor your own slow burn to success rather than compare yourself to unrealistic narratives. Those “overnight successes” actually take 15 years of hard work and pushing through whatever is in your way. Learn about finding and using your unique voice, especially in male-dominated industries (Ivy Slater's, Vice Admiral Sandra Stosz's, Michelle Russo's, Amy Conway-Hatcher's, Dr Mary O'Connor's, stories)—If you're struggling to stand out or be heard, their insights will help you leverage your strengths in any challenging environment.  Hear diverse stories of joy, resilience, and strategic risk-taking—so you can build more joy, clarity, and growth into your own work, borrowing from actionable wisdom shared by a variety of leaders, from corporate executives to entertainers/authors to military figures, and the list goes on. See the power of “Being More You, Not Faux You” in tough situations (Amanda Hawkins' story)—You'll realize that authenticity isn't just a nice idea, but a winning strategy for building trust and influence with even the most senior decision-makers. Take away unique mindsets like architecting a life by design (Chad Lefebvre) versus a life by default—As a way to challenge accepted norms and intentionally create a fulfilling path, instead of just accepting what you're given. Understand how personal experiences outside of business (from dance to the board room, riding instructor to corporate executive…) can shape leadership strengths—Meaning you can tap into your own life story and skills for professional advantage, not just traditional credentials.

In this insightful conversation, I sit down with Captain George Dom, a retired U.S. Navy officer, to explore the essence of high trust leadership and its pivotal role in building high-performance teams. Captain Dom shares his extensive experience from his distinguished military career, including leading the renowned Blue Angels and teaching at Top Gun. Together, they delve into the principles of trust and how these can be effectively applied both in the military and corporate environments.

Dom and I highlight the importance of mutual understanding, where leaders must ensure they are understood and also convey that they understand their team members. The Importance of Debriefing: Paul Taylor and Captain Dom discuss the sacred practice of debriefing in aviation and how this routine ensures continuous improvement. This practice, they argue, is crucial not just for safety in aviation but for success in any high-stakes environment. Transitioning from Military to Civilian Life: Learn about the challenges and opportunities involved in transitioning from a structured military environment to the civilian world, and how the principles of trust and leadership remain relevant across these domains. Building High-Performance Teams: Through examples from his military career, Captain Dom illustrates how trust is not just a nice-to-have but a strategic imperative for any high-performing team. Whether flying jets or managing corporate teams, the principles remain the same. Key Takeaways: Trust is Earned: It's a continuous commitment and starts with leaders demonstrating integrity and reliability. Character and Commitment: These are at the core of trust. Leaders must show they are committed to their teams, especially when challenges arise. Communication is Key: Effective leaders ensure that they communicate clearly with their teams, and also actively seek feedback and understanding.

Our guest today is Dana Pharant, a former professional dominatrix turned leadership coach, who shares her unique insights into the links between trust, power, and vulnerability. Drawing from her experience in the BDSM world and her work with corporate leaders, Dana explains that true leadership is not about domination, but about creating the space where people willingly place their trust in you. She emphasizes that trust is built through evidence and emotional safety, not through demands, fear, or blind faith. Dana discusses how surrender, often misunderstood as weakness, is actually a pathway to greater inner strength and more authentic leadership. She highlights how healthy trust dynamics involve setting clear boundaries, understanding consent deeply, and creating psychological safety both in intimate and professional environments. In a society that often separates sexuality from professional life, Dana argues for a more integrated approach, where acknowledging our desires and emotional truths leads to stronger, more trustworthy relationships at work. She also touches on the dangers of leadership rooted in unhealed trauma and explains why leaders must first do their inner work to foster real trust with their teams. Through her story and coaching philosophy, Dana challenges listeners to rethink power, lust, surrender, and authenticity—not as opposites of professionalism, but as essential elements for genuine human connection and leadership.

Alex Rodriguez shares why in sports and business, striking out is just a part of the game.From the baseball field to the boardroom, great communication is critical for success. But as Alex Rodriguez knows, we don't always hit it out of the park. For this sports superstar turned entrepreneur, striking out is never the end of the story.“I'm fifth all-time in the history of strikeouts,” says Rodriguez. “That means there's only four people in the history of mankind that have failed more than me.” For the 14-time Major League Baseball All-Star and World Series champion, failures aren't endings, but opportunities to learn and grow.

We all know gender inequality exists in the workplace. But there's another kind of bias that's been quietly derailing women's careers… and it's time we brought it into the spotlight.  According to Napala Pratini, co-founder of Habitual, a revolutionary digital platform helping people lose weight and reverse type 2 diabetes, studies show that women living with obesity are often seen as ‘less productive, less professional, lacking in self-discipline and less likely to lead'.Meanwhile, men? They can be overweight and still get a pass to top.

Read to Lead: Why the Best Leaders Have Their Noses in Books Are you struggling to level up your leadership game? In this eye-opening episode, we dive into the secret weapon of legendary leaders like Warren Buffett, Abraham Lincoln, and Oprah Winfrey – they're all bookworms! Our panel of coaching experts breaks down why consistent reading isn't just helpful for leaders – it's absolutely essential. Mind-Expanding Mentorship From Warren Buffett devouring 500 pages daily to the average CEO consuming 4-5 books monthly, successful leaders are consistently feeding their brains. As one of our experts points out, reading gives you access to wisdom from people you'll never meet in person - it's like having Jocko Willink or Simon Sinek as your personal mentor! No Excuses, Only Priorities Think you're too busy to read? Our coaches challenge that notion head-on. As our coaching panel reminds us, "24 hours in every day is the only thing the good Lord gave us all an equal measure of." It's not about finding time; it's about making reading a priority. Cut just one hour of screen time weekly, and you've created space for literary growth. Brain-Rewiring Benefits Reading doesn't just provide information – it physically rewires your brain. According to our experts, physically reading and taking notes creates neural pathways that strengthen memory and enhance learning. For maximum benefit, follow up with quality sleep to cement those connections! ## The Bottom Line Leaders who stop reading stop growing. If you think you've "arrived," you haven't. If you're "too busy," you're not prioritizing correctly. Make a personal development plan that includes consistent reading, and watch your leadership capabilities soar. Tune in for: • Warren Buffett's surprising success secret (hint: it involves 500 pages daily) • Why reading trumps experience alone • Practical tips for creating your own leadership reading plan • The scientific reason reading physical books beats audiobooks Stop making excuses and start turning pages – your team is counting on you!

Have you ever wondered why brilliant strategies often fail to deliver results? The answer might lie not in the strategy itself, but in how it's created and communicated throughout your organization.When frontline employees don't understand why they're doing their daily tasks or how those tasks connect to the bigger picture, even the most brilliant strategic plan will falter. This reflective episode explores the concept of "humanized strategy" – a transformative approach championed by Britt Hogue, founder of The Collective Good.Strategy with a soul isn't about replacing logic with emotion; it's about integrating human experience into how we craft, communicate, and live our strategic direction. Rather than a static blueprint delivered from the boardroom, truly effective strategy emerges as a co-created dialogue that resonates throughout the organization. As Mick explains, "When people are part of creating something, they own it, they connect with it, they find their place in it, and they align their own purpose with the broader mission."The episode unpacks three powerful insights: First, strategy should be something you invite people into rather than something you merely present. Second, strategic listening goes beyond words to understand body language, energy, and what's being said in silence. Third, organizational healing is often a necessary precursor to strategic clarity, as unresolved wounds and broken trust create barriers to alignment.What makes a strategy truly great? It includes clear impact on the world, articulates what you will and won't do, remains dynamic yet resilient, aligns macro and micro purpose, and most importantly – resonates on a human level. When strategy speaks to both head and heart, it becomes something everyone can believe in and work toward with genuine commitment.Ready to transform how your organization approaches strategy? Listen now to discover how bringing more listening, trust, and humanity into your strategic process can create alignment that powers breakthrough results. Because when strategy is built with people, not just for people, the impossible becomes possible.Send us a textSupport the show✅ Follow The Leadership Project on your favourite podcast platform and listen to a new episode every week!
