Podcasts about Brower

Your career doesn't grow in isolation, and neither does your confidence. When we feel overlooked, stuck, or burned out, we often blame skills, strategy, or a lack of a personal brand. But what if the real lever is connection and community and the quality of the relationships around us?On episode #158 of the 2B Bolder podcast, I sat down with Dr. Tracy Brower, a sociologist, author, and the VP for Workplace Insights at Steelcase, and got practical about what makes work and life feel meaningful. We talked about why sometimes the  “work is a grind” narrative misses something human and important: we all have an instinct to matter, and work is one of the biggest places we're seen, supported, and shaped. Tracy breaks down the modern pattern of having more connections but fewer fulfilling relationships, plus how distraction, social media, and post-COVID habits can leave us with shallow “empty calorie” interactions.We also get tactical about networking for women in business and tech without the icky, transactional vibe. Tracy shares how giving can be asynchronous, why you should build your network before you need it, and how to walk into coffee chats with less pressure by focusing on learning. If visibility is your challenge, she offers a clear framework for the kinds of people you need around you: advocates, honest challengers, and safe-harbor colleagues. You'll also hear memorable data points from her latest book, Critical Connections, including how long it really takes to make a friend and why diverse relationships boost joy and fulfillment.If you found this helpful, subscribe, share with a friend, and leave a review so more women can build careers with stronger connection and real belonging.Resources:tracybrower.com Connect with Tracy on LinkedIn Order Critical Connections Here

In our latest "Between the Lines" installment, we shine a light on the best-selling collection of inspirational profiles by former "CBS Evening News" anchor Norah O'Donnell – the New York Times best-seller We the Women: The Hidden Heroes Who Shaped America, written with journalist and author Kate Andersen Brower. Brower, our current podcast guest, a former White House reporter for Bloomberg News, has written for The New York Times, Vanity Fair, Time, and The Washington Post. She is also the author of several books of her own, including the #1 New York Times best-seller The Residence, which was adapted into the hit Netflix series of the same name by producer Shonda Rhimes, as well as numerous other books, including First Women, First in Line, and Team of Five. As she shares in our As Told To conversation, We the Women is her first collaboration, but it is not so very far removed from her work as a political reporter, and as a seasoned chronicler of lives lived in and around our seats of power.

What happens when a ghostwriter/collaborator looks on as the subject of her latest book becomes the lede of a story neither one of them set out to tell? That's the question at the heart of this conversation with journalist Kate Andersen Brower, co-author of the New York Times best-seller We the Women: The Hidden Heroes Who Shaped America, written with "60 Minutes" correspondent and former "CBS Evening News" anchor Norah O'Donnell. We the Women presents a vivid portrait of the unsung women throughout American history who have changed the ways we work and live—a book Melinda French Gates calls "a vital reminder of the importance of women's contributions to our history, and a call to action for anyone committed to carrying forward the work that they began." About that call to action: in the aftermath of the shooting at the White House Correspondents' Dinner on April 25, 2026, O'Donnell sat with President Trump for a lengthy "60 Minutes" interview, during which the president berated her for having the temerity to ask him to respond to the gunman's manifesto. The president called her "horrible" and "a disgrace." O'Donnell pushed back, and by the Monday morning of our podcast interview, the heated exchange was making headlines and filling social media feeds all over the world. "It was tremendous to watch," observes Brower, "and I hope that it inspired some younger women watching to want to become journalists, and to want to ask these tough questions." Kate Andersen Brower knows what it means to work the political beat. A former White House reporter for Bloomberg News during the Obama administration, she has written for The New York Times, Vanity Fair, Time, and The Washington Post. She is the author of the #1 New York Times best-seller The Residence, which was adapted into the hit Netflix series of the same name by producer Shonda Rhimes, as well as numerous other books, including First Women, First in Line, and Team of Five.

In this episode, Lisa and Dr. Tracy discuss:The growing importance of human connection in building confidence, identity, and life directionThe impact of loneliness and social disconnection on younger generationsHow networking and relationships influence career opportunities and successPractical ways to build meaningful connections through conversation, curiosity, and presenceKey Takeaways: Connection is not just social; it plays a central role in building confidence, shaping identity, and helping people figure out their direction, especially at a time when nearly half of people globally report feeling lonely.The opportunities that change your trajectory rarely come from your closest circle, but from weaker, more distant connections who expose you to new information and paths, which is why they so often lead to jobs and new opportunities.You don't need experience, accolades, or “value” to network. Genuine curiosity and the willingness to ask are often enough to open doors, especially since people are naturally wired to help.The fastest way to become memorable in any interaction is to shift focus outward; strong listening and thoughtful questions consistently outperform trying to impress, and make others feel seen.“People really love to help, and sometimes your asking is actually such a gift to them.” – Dr. Tracy BrowerAbout Dr. Tracy Brower: Dr. Tracy Brower is a PhD sociologist studying community, happiness, and the future of work and life. She is a Global 50 Thinker and the award-winning author of three books: Critical Connections, The Secrets to Happiness at Work, and Bring Work to Life.

Elena Brower, bestselling author, podcast host and Zen practitioner, and Carrie-Anne Moss, acclaimed actor (Trinity in The Matrix series) and founder of Annapurna Living, discuss Elena's new book, Hold Nothing: An Invitation to Let Go and Come Home to Yourself (Shambhala Publications). They explore how slowing down, embracing emptiness, and practicing self‑empathy can help us reconnect with presence, stillness, and inner clarity in a changing world, weaving together insights from yoga, nonviolent communication, Zen teachings, and Brower's own life experience. The conversation frames Hold Nothing as a gentle yet powerful companion for personal transformation, inviting listeners to attend to what truly matters beneath the noise of daily life.

Send us Fan MailA fast 30K can be more intimidating than a steep ultra, especially when the trail begs you to push from the opening minute. James sits down with Robin Vieira Brower ahead of the Gorge Waterfalls 30K to talk about what makes the Columbia River Gorge such a special place to race: lush, sea-level air, deceptively technical singletrack, and that mix of speed and flow that punishes overreaching early.We get into the nuts and bolts of trail running training from Bend, Oregon, where Robin balances dirt-road speed work with mountain days on terrain like Mount Bachelor and South Sister. The conversation also tackles the bigger question many runners are asking this year: how does a low snowpack winter change fitness, durability, and even race outcomes across the West? More runnable days can mean stronger legs in spring, but it can also bring new risk if recovery falls behind.Robin also breaks down why she treats tune-up races as mental training: practicing strategy, managing nerves, dialing nutrition, and learning when to push versus when to protect the bigger skyrunning goals ahead. Finally, we talk about juggling it all with her work as Marketing Director at Wazelle, travel around major events like the Boston Marathon, and the real-life chaos that can derail “perfect” training weeks. If you're building toward a spring trail race or a summer skyrace, you'll leave with practical cues for pacing, preparation, and staying steady when plans break.Subscribe for more athlete interviews, share this with a training partner, and leave a review with your favorite tune-up race lesson.

Wir springen in dieser Folge nach Algerien, wo im Jahr 1880 zwei fanzösische Expeditionen aufbrechen, um eines der ambitioniertesten Technologieprojekte des 19. Jahrhunderts vorzubereiten. Anfängliche Euphorie weicht aber bald der Erkenntnis, dass die Sahara weitaus gefährlicher und unwirtlicher ist, als in den Ministerien und Salons in Paris angenommen.

Send a textBig news meets bigger mountains. We sit down with Robin Vieira Brower to unpack her dual signing with Oiselle—as a professional athlete and the brand's director of marketing—and explore how one decision can reset what's possible for women in endurance sport. Robin opens up about the timing, the “duality” behind the announcement, and why showing the whole athlete matters just as much as splitting seconds on course.We trace Oiselle's roots back to 2007, their return to trail, and a fresh strategy that prioritizes the moments around the moment: training blocks, travel days, recovery, motherhood, injury, and everything that shapes a race without showing up on the results sheet. Instead of slicing the sport into road, track, trail, or gravel, the focus is on gear that flexes with a woman's life—fit, function, and feel that actually move with her from strides to summits. Robin explains how athlete voices are baked into product cycles that stretch to 2028, and why that long view is essential for meaningful innovation.If skyrunning still sounds mysterious, prepare to get hooked. Robin lays out what makes these courses so electric—steep vert, technical ridges, and weather that turns tactics into art—then walks through a bold 2026 plan that balances the Skyrunner World Series with the U.S. regional circuit. We talk Whiteface, Beast of Big Creek, Kismet, and the tough calls when two great races land on the same weekend. Along the way, we get candid on the gravel boom, the value of athlete-led design, and the growing trend of pros taking real roles inside brands to build what comes after peak performance.This is a story about clarity over hype, purpose over trend, and how a thoughtful career can climb as high as any skyline. If you care about skyrunning, trail culture, and better gear shaped by the people who test it at the limit, you'll find a lot to love here.

Most HR leaders are chasing engagement scores.Very few are diagnosing loneliness.If performance feels flatter… if initiative is fading… if teams feel more transactional than connected, this episode explains why.In this conversation, Dr. Tracy Brower joins Naomi Titleman to unpack a truth many leaders feel but struggle to articulate: connection is not a “nice-to-have.” It is a structural driver of performance, initiative, retention, and fulfillment.They explore:The early warning signs of workplace disconnectionWhy proximity still matters in a hybrid worldHow AI may unintentionally weaken team relianceSocial contagion and why energy spreads faster than strategyThe difference between dirt roads and superhighways inside your cultureWhat a real “connection infrastructure” looks likeThis isn't about forcing friendships or dragging people back to the office. It's about being deliberate about the human system inside your organization.Because when people don't feel seen or needed, they disengage.And disengagement is expensive.About our guestDr. Tracy Brower is a PhD sociologist and VP of Workplace Insights at Steelcase. She studies connection, community, fulfillment, and the future of work, and is the author of Critical Connections.

Research shows that 50% of people globally are lonely with record levels of depression and anxiety, so Tracy believes the workplace can provide a sense of stability and identity for the workforce.

In this episode of Decorating Pages, Emmy-winning set decorator Kim Wannop sits down with Production Designer Cara Brower to talk about designing Hedda, Amazon MGM Studios' new adaptation of Henrik Ibsen's Hedda Gabler—now streaming on Prime Video. Brower—whose credits include Candyman, The Marvels, Twin Peaks: The Return, Us, and Hail, Caesar!—explains how she found and transformed a single English country estate into Hedda's entire universe: grand staircase, dark entry hall, sensual bedroom, secret telephone nook, glass conservatory with a deadly chandelier, and a lakeside bonfire that bookends the story. The conversation digs into:How Ibsen's original themes of power, boredom, control, and societal constraints on women informed the design choicesLayering Victorian architecture with Art Deco curves, 1960s-inspired pattern, and bold modern art so Hedda's home feels like a socialite's act of rebellionDesigning Hedda's bedroom as a cold, sensual, almost Hollywood-boudoir space that belongs entirely to herThe engineering and cross-department chaos behind the film's glass chandelier set pieceWhy shooting mostly on location—with minimal VFX—makes the film feel more immediate and theatricalPerfect listening if you love period drama, literary history, and extremely opinionated wallpaper.

Send us a textThe view from a razorback ridge can change your life—and your training. We invited Robin Vieira Brower, one of the few American women racing the Skyrunner World Series, to unpack how she built a season across Austria and Ireland, what “sea to sky” truly demands, and why skyrunning needs a bigger footprint in the U.S. Robin shares a refreshingly candid path from college soccer to technical mountain running, the exact workouts that paid off on steep grades, and the mindset shift required when weather cancels races the day before the start.We dig into the nuts and bolts—heart rate based training, base-building through winter, and the intervals that translate directly to efficient climbing and controlled descending. Robin also opens up about running a creative studio while racing internationally, turning storytelling into a strength instead of a distraction. We compare skyrunning with Golden Trail and UTMB, talk through ISF standards that protect the sport's identity, and spotlight the best U.S. gateways for “real sky” skills: Cirque Series venues, The Rut, Alyeska, and the Wasatch. Expect practical insights on gear, travel, and course selection, plus honest talk about representation and how to support more women on technical terrain.If you've wondered how to break into skyrunning—or just want to understand why switchbacks are sometimes optional in Europe—this conversation delivers a clear map and plenty of motivation. Tap play, then tell us which course you'd race first.

Emma M. Lion returns with gusto in volume 2 by Beth Brower. Do you like underdog stories? Emma may be in a precarious predicament but she's not one to throw in the towel! Advice from Emma's father, “You must be fighting fit, Emma, whatever else. Most of life is the ability to be ready for what comes your way.”Young Hawkes (the unlikely vicar) informs Emma that her cousin has been confessing his sins and a much longer list of her sins while showing the scar from the teapot Emma tossed at him long ago following much provocation. The Tenant aka Niall Pierce attempts to solve the mouse problem with a cat. He and Emma communicate by sending messages through a hole in the wall that divides the garret, like the following:I REPORT THAT TYBALT HAS TAKEN A MOUSE.Your news proves to be the chief triumph of my day.WITH NO WISH TO CAST ASPERSIONS, I WONDER HOW THAT COULD BE THE TRIUMPH OF AN ENTIRE DAY?Tea with my Aunt, the Lady Eugenia Spencer, in which I was instructed how to behave in public: namely, like an unobtrusive but on the window.I RETRACT MY PREVIOUS QUESTION.Cousin Arabella bravely declares that, “Emma can't live with Maxwell's ghost forever…As painful as it is, however desperately we miss him, Maxwell has been dead for three years…Allow him to go.”  Mary, Emma's friend and fellow survivor  from Fortitude enlists Emma's help in solving a problem involving retrieving a confiscated  copy of Jane Eyre and Jack (Mary's rented cousin).In the midst of Emma's comings and goings she intersects with the Duke of Islington's diary which she was unable to resist reading from cover to cover before returning it!We love Emma and her ability to move forward in spite of the trials her cousin places upon her. Won't you join the journey? Blessings!

Presented by Lauren Stibgen With one-third of our life spent working, it is no wonder we seek friendship and connection from our colleagues. A recent Forbes article from March 2024 titled How Loneliness Can Impact Your Job (And Life) by Tracy Brower says 69% of employees report they are unsatisfied with their social connections at work, and 43% don't feel a sense of connection with their colleagues.[1] Loneliness is universal, and it doesn't hold a title or age. CEOs and assistants are equally impacted by these feelings of disconnection. Since it is subjective, we need never negate our own personal feelings of loneliness or those feelings of a colleague. As followers of Jesus, what does this mean for us? First, what if we are the employee feeling dissatisfied with our social connection at work? Turning to the Word of God can remind us it is our God who sees us in our daily work even when we feel alone. Consider when the woman at the well went to draw water. She went in the middle of the day, the hottest time. Although we are not told about her feelings, we know she went alone because she likely was not accepted by the other Samaritan women. She was alone, and perhaps lonely when she encountered Jesus. He knew the intimate details of her not so perfect life and offered her living water—salvation in him! You can read this story in John 4:4-30. And, what about Hagar? She was sent away, pregnant and alone when she was met by God and felt seen. Read more about Hagar in Genesis 16. The woman at the well and Hagar are reminders that even when we are walking alone, God sees us. Maybe you aren't lonely at work. You have a wonderful social community! As a follower of Jesus, we are called to see others. Just as Jesus saw the woman at the well and God saw Hagar, who do you see in your workplace who could use some social connection? There is a Christian song by Brandon Heath, Give Me Your Eyes with perfect lyrics: “Give me your eyes for just one second, give me your eyes so I can see…”[2] Take a listen. It can encourage you to see those in your workplace that could use you extending your care and connection in that moment! -- [1] Brower, T. (2024, March 21). How Workplace Loneliness Can Impact Your Job (And Life). Forbes. https://www.forbes.com/sites/tracybrower/2024/03/21/how-workplace-loneliness-can-impact-your-job/ [2] Heath, B., & Ingram, J. (2008).

In today's visit we dive into The Unselected Journals of Emma M. Lion by the very talented Beth Brower.“It takes a courageous man to marry a woman with a mind.” Emma M. Lion is definitely a woman with a mind! She lives in London in the house she inherited but is quarantined to just the garret thanks to Cousin Archibald.In 106 pages you are swept back to 1883 England. One journal entry shows a wordsmith in the making.“The scurry.The scrape.The scratch.Followed by an all to earthly squeak.The garret has mice.I weep.”Emma lost her parents at 13 and is now trying to survive and thrive in dire circumstances until she turns 18 in a few months.She had to sell her father's extensive library to pay for schooling, which turned out less than optimal. Her cousin delivers a trunk that contains her mother's Bible and her father's illustrated works of Shakespeare. (Her father annotated texts long before it was cool. Margins are made to record the thoughts of the reader. Emma treasures this book. “I will read them through slowly, stretching the delight as far as I can.”Are you ready to meet the colorful Emma M. Lion? Please join us as we discuss the wonders of this witty wordsmith!

To celebrate our 60th episode, an accomplishment of which I am very proud, I looked to a new subject that we haven't remotely explored – the world of literary management.  How fortunate to be able to welcome a delightful guest - Emily Sweet who is the Partner, Strategy and Communications with Park, Fine, & Brower, a world-renowned literary management agency. Though very closely aligned with publishing, this is a wholly unique business. I was fascinated to learn about it and share our discussion with you.I hope you enjoy this episode.

In major real estate downturns, who has all the real estate business? What do real estate agents need to do differently in a real estate recession? What was the innovation that Trulia and Zillow brought to the home buying industry? Why has Zillow been detrimental to so many real estate agents? What middlemen artificially add costs to the home purchase transaction? How did Rob transition from being a vendor of Chad's to being an investor and co-founder in his technology solution? Why has professional honesty been an important cornerstone of Swyvvl's success? How was personal sacrifice necessary for Chad to be successful with its brokerage business? Why are consistent client leads so hard to come by for real estate agents? What has traditionally caused  real estate agents to shy away from brokerage CRM solutions in the past? How has Swyvvl flipped the business model for real estate agents in order to create more economically beneficial outcomes?Chad Link and Rob Brower - co-founders of Swyvvl, join Proptech Espresso to answer these questions and discuss how an early development /design oversight demonstrated the personal integrity and commitment that laid the foundation for a future co-founder relationship.

In this episode, Sarah Brouwer, Senior Corporate Counsel at Trudell Medical International, joins Marc Doucette, CEO and Co-founder of Koho Consulting, to discuss the real-world challenges and strategies behind a successful contract lifecycle management transformation. Together, they share insights from Trudell's multi-phase CLM rollout, including lessons in change management, phased implementation, and system adaptation. Marc draws on Koho's hands-on experience to highlight what it really takes to move from static legacy tools to scalable enterprise CLM. They also explore how legal teams can rethink CLM as a long-term strategic investment rather than a one-time solution. The conversation wraps with a look at how AI is playing a growing role in document screening, data migration, and redlining, reshaping how legal ops teams work and deliver value across the business. Whether you're planning a CLM rollout or navigating one today, this episode offers a grounded perspective on what success looks like in complex organizations.

In this episode we discuss whether psychology is engaging in premature experimentation. Are experiments overused, and should we make greater use of other approaches to knowledge generation? If so, which methods should we use instead? And what can we learn from the way Martians would fund research on soccer? Enjoy. Rozin, P. (2001).
