Watch the full episode on our YouTube channel: youtube.com/@mreapodcastSelena Soo joins us to share the roadmap to building a million-dollar network, the same network that turned her into a USA Today bestselling author and helped countless entrepreneurs grow thriving, referral-based businesses.  In this episode, we explore the core of her book, Rich Relationships: Create a Million Dollar Network for Your Business. Selena walks us through her 3-part framework: Build, Nurture, Activate. Each part teaches us how to identify our “rich relationships”: people who want to see us win, create financial abundance, and inspire us to be our best selves.  We unpack her strategies for staying top of mind through “pinging,” creating powerful gatherings, and practicing “breathtaking generosity.” Selena also shares how to set up a “Generosity Fund” to strengthen your network, and why the very best relationships are built on giving without strings attached. It's not about how many people you know, it's about how deeply you know them.  Resources:Give and Take by Adam GrantMAPS CoachingMillionaire Real Estate Agent Podcast NotesOrder the Millionaire Real Estate Agent Playbook | Volume 3Connect with Jason:LinkedinProduced by NOVAThis podcast is for general informational purposes only.

Helen and Dr Harry Kuchah Kuchah reflect on his lifelong ELT journey, beginning with helping classmates in Cameroon and moving through roles as a primary-teacher educator, UK-based researcher, Ministry of Education policymaker, IATEFL President, Chair of the British Council's English Language Advisory Group, and Director of the University of Birmingham's MSc TESOL programme, where he also mentors four PhD students in multilingual education. Guided by the Ubuntu idea that “I am because you are,” he values community and collective work. Harry notes that ELT is becoming more context-sensitive and globally connected, and he advocates for deeper engagement with multilingualism and how languages enrich one another. Seeing language as a tool rather than a product, he argues for assessment that recognises meaningful, culturally situated communication instead of standard RP norms. Though he never sought leadership, relationships led him there, and he views education as a calling rooted in care, mentorship, and human connection.Harry at the University of Birmingham: https://www.birmingham.ac.uk/schools/education/staff/profile?Name=dr-harry-kuchah-kuchah&ReferenceId=206555Harry's Plenary Session on 'Teaching English in Difficult Circumstances at 2015 IATEFL Conference in Manchester: https://www.teachingenglish.org.uk/news-and-events/iatefl-online/2015/plenary-harry-kuchah  Harry's contribution to the British Council Podcast series ‘Our World Connected'  on the theme: What role does English play in our multilingual world? https://www.britishcouncil.org/research-insight/our-world-connected-podcast/english-multilingual-worldHarry's autobiographical chapter in Alan Maley's open access edited book is available here: https://www.teachingenglish.org.uk/publications/case-studies-insights-and-research/developing-expertise-through-experienceThe Publication from the Africa ELTA Teacher Research mentoring programme can be found here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1UIKoFKdwynMvNs4Mj5FyaZZioMgwwBPE/viewTo find the complete archive of Developod episodes, go to tdsig.org/developod-tdsigs-podcast

Why community is the most powerful tool for transformation.Community isn't just a feel-good buzzword. According to Gina Bianchini, it's a catalyst for personal and collective transformation.Bianchini is the CEO and founder of community-building platform, Mighty Networks, and author of the book Purpose: Design a Community and Change Your Life. "Community is when people come together, and every single member has something to give and something to receive," she explains. In contrast to the one-directional dynamic of a speaker and their audience or a creator and their following, Bianchini argues that the power of community lies in two-way exchanges, where each member benefits the group and benefits from it. "Community is the single most effective way to get results and transformation you just can't get on your own," she says.In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, Bianchini joins host Matt Abrahams to discuss how to unlock the potential of purposeful communities. She shares strategies for finding your tribe during times of transition, the "people magic” created when we facilitate deep connections, and how creating community enables us to create the world and lives we imagine.To listen to the extended Deep Thinks version of this episode, please visit FasterSmarter.io/premium.Episode Reference Links:Gina BianchiniGina's Book: PurposeEp.174 Fix Meetings: Transform Gatherings Into Meaningful Moments Connect:Premium Signup >>>> Think Fast Talk Smart PremiumEmail Questions & Feedback >>> hello@fastersmarter.ioEpisode Transcripts >>> Think Fast Talk Smart WebsiteNewsletter Signup + English Language Learning >>> FasterSmarter.ioThink Fast Talk Smart >>> LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTubeMatt Abrahams >>> LinkedInChapters:(00:00) - Introduction (02:17) - Defining Community vs. Audience (04:05) - Community as a Catalyst for Transformation (06:41) - Finding the Right Community (10:29) - The Future Story Framework (13:22) - People Magic & Facilitation (19:07) - The Final Three Questions (24:59) - Conclusion   ********Thank you to our sponsors.  These partnerships support the ongoing production of the podcast, allowing us to bring it to you at no cost.Strawberry.me.

Hey FTG Fam! We're tackling Acts 2 this week and the beautiful, radical way the early church lived in community with the Holy Spirit at the center. As we go through Week 2 of The Wild Invitation Bible study, we reflect on what it truly looks like to care for one another, share life sacrificially, and be on mission together. From funny church traditions we'd ditch to the hard-but-holy call to open our hearts and homes, we get real about what a Spirit-filled community looks like in modern life. We for sure don't have all this figured out, but we'd love you to be on the journey with us!

Today I have the pleasure of talking with Dean Spade about his new book, Love in a Fucked-up World: how to build relationships, hook up, and raise hell together. This book builds on all of Dean's previous books, and shares their commitment to finding ways to build better movements for better worlds. Like all of his work, Love in a Fucked Up World homes in on the obstacles we face not only from repressive states and destructive ideologies, but also from our own very human weaknesses and blindspots.  This new book focuses on what Spade calls the “romance myth,” which shares so many features with, among other things, capitalism—ideas like a property, scarcity, ownership, status, power.  While showing how when romance is brought into activist spaces it can cause great harm, Dean Spade also shows that, if converted into a form which includes patience, kindness, and generosity, romance can complement and strengthen our activism at a time when it is needed the most.Dean Spade has been working in movements for queer and trans liberation, anti-militarism, and police and prison abolition for the past 25 years. He's the author of Normal Life: Administrative Violence, Critical Trans Politics, and the Limits of Law, and Mutual Aid: Building Solidarity During This Crisis (and the Next) the director of the documentary “Pinkwashing Exposed: Seattle Fights Back!.” His new book is Love in a Fucked Up World: How to Build Relationships, Hook Up and Raise Hell Together, and he is the host of a new podcast with the same name.

In this episode, I welcome Obi Ihenacho, an accomplished IT professional with a decade of engineering experience at companies like Robinhood, Meta, and Twitter. We kick off a crucial discussion on why relationships, not just technical skills, define career success and leadership influence. Obi immediately provides a powerful framework for growth, outlining three vital relationships every professional must cultivate: The Relationship with Yourself: Centered on self-confidence, self-awareness, and believing you deserve your seat at the table (essential for combating imposter syndrome). The Relationship with Your Work: Understanding that your work product speaks to your personal brand and value. The Relationship with Others: The need for intentional, strategic connections. We dive into why networking must be strategic (not just serendipitous) and how finding common ground breaks the ice. Most importantly, we cover the critical role a cultivated network plays in today's volatile job market, serving as an essential safety net and leverage point for securing interviews and your next opportunity. Stay tuned for Part 2, where Obi will share his best practices and actionable "how-to" steps for building and nurturing a powerful network that propels your career forward.

In this episode of Transformative Principal, Brandon Cardet-Hernandez shares his journey from being a principal to advising the NYC Mayor, and now serving as President of Mrs. Wordsmith, a company dedicated to improving children's literacy through innovative tools like books and video games. Brandon dives into the urgent need for solutions in education, particularly addressing the missed "dosage" in phonemic awareness, phonics, and vocabulary instruction that many students experience. He explores the role of video games in education, emphasizing that while games can't replace teachers, they can enhance the learning process through engaging, spaced-repetition techniques, like the popular game Word Tag.Brandon discusses how joy and mastery of language can transform a student's understanding and emotional connection to words. He also highlights the challenges many students face in developing strong reading skills, especially in middle and high school, and how increasing practice time is essential.Leaving the principalship to do advising to NYC Mayor. Solutions that I was hungry for. President of Mrs. WordsmithEfficacy of video gamesSub-literateGames don't replace teachers and instructionMissed dosage that kids need: phonemic awareness and phonics & vocabularyHow much time they get practicing. How do we give teachers the right data?Word tag - spaced repetition.Joy of words, master of phrasing. How many kids don't have the command of the language?Happiness makes more sense when you have word associations with it. Increase dosage of reading skills. How challenging it is to learn reading in middle and high school.How to be a transformative principal?

Ever catch yourself in a room full of people but feeling like you're not really connecting?Like you're shaking hands, swapping business cards, maybe even following each other on Instagram, but it's all surface-level?In this episode of The Happy Hustle Podcast, I'm diving deep into the network effect—how to build relationships that matter and create real momentum in your life and business. This isn't about being a “networking guru” or collecting the most LinkedIn connections. It's about genuine, value-driven connections that lift you and open doors you didn't even know existed. Over the years, I've been blessed to build friendships with eight-figure entrepreneurs, pro athletes, celebrities, and industry leaders—not by chasing them down, but by showing up authentically, serving first, and playing the long game. And that's exactly what I'm sharing in this episode: the mindset, the framework, and the ninja hacks to level up your network without feeling fake or forced.One of the biggest lessons? Your network is like a bank account—you've gotta make consistent deposits before you can ever make a withdrawal. That means finding ways to add value first, whether it's solving a small problem, sending a thoughtful gift, or making an introduction that could be a game-changer for someone else. Relationships thrive when they're rooted in genuine care, not just what you can get out of them.Another big takeaway is the importance of engaging with intention. Don't be that spammy DM person or the fan who only asks for favors. Start small—comment on their posts, share their work, send a short video or audio message. These personal touches break through the noise and show that you're a real human, not just another contact request.I also share why you should connect like-minded people in your network, even when it doesn't directly benefit you. Some of my strongest relationships were built on simply being the bridge between two people who could help each other. The value you create in those moments always comes back around.And here's a hack you can start using today: stop sleeping on new connections. There's a short window after you meet someone where the relationship is most likely to stick. Snap a photo together, text it to them right away, and set a next step—coffee, a Zoom chat, whatever keeps the momentum going.If you've ever felt like networking was awkward, inauthentic, or just not your thing, this episode will flip that script. It's not about working the room—it's about working on the relationships that will grow with you over time.So if you're ready to turn casual contacts into powerful partnerships, tune in now.

Your first month as a leader matters—don't let the momentum fade.In this week's episode of Promoted: Stop Doubting, Start Leading, Karen Gombault breaks down what really needs to happen in the critical first 30 days of a new leadership role. The initial excitement has worn off, the hallway hellos have faded, and now all eyes are on you to lead.This episode delivers five strategic moves to help you transition from being the “new hire” to a respected, trusted leader who gets things done—without falling into the trap of overthinking, overworking, or burning out.Whether you've just stepped into a new role or want to reset your leadership presence, this episode will help you lead with confidence and intention in the moments that matter most.5 KEY TAKEAWAYS:1. Clarify your mandate—don't assume alignment. Ask your boss directly: “What does success look like in 90 days?” Get it in writing and compare it with what your team expects. Misalignment erodes trust fast.2. Define your leadership style early. Let your team know how you operate—your preferences, boundaries, and expectations. Consistency builds psychological safety and makes you easier to follow.3. Deliver a visible, meaningful win. Find a low-risk, high-impact problem to solve. Don't wait for people to notice—communicate what you did and why it matters.4. Deepen relationships with key players. Schedule check-ins with your boss, your team, and key peers. Use “reverse feedback” meetings to invite trust and collaboration.5. Anchor yourself emotionally. Imposter syndrome often kicks in by week four. Keep a list of what's working and give yourself credit—your brain needs proof that you're making progress.“People this month might not be giving you polite in the hallway anymore. And they're looking and starting to judge—which by the way is completely normal.” - Karen GombaultBy the end of your first month, you're no longer the new person. You're the leader. This episode gives you the practical steps to solidify trust, define your leadership brand, and stay grounded while pressure builds. Start making intentional choices that build your credibility from day one.RESOURCES & NEXT STEPS:Free Resource: Build Your Visibility At Work → https://www.karengombault.com/getnoticedStart with Catalyst – A focused 6-week coaching sprint to solve one real leadership challenge with strategy, momentum, and results.
