Caitlin V is a sex and relationship coach. In this episode, we dig into what's really going on with sex these days. We talk about how to bring up fantasies without making it weird, what to do when libidos don't match, how shame blocks intimacy, and why mindset matters as much as technique. We also answer tons of real listener questions: orgasms (and lack of them), ED, mismatched desire, sexual compatibility, painful sex, trying new positions, porn in relationships, confidence in bed, and how to keep things exciting even when routines settle in. If you've ever wondered why sex feels complicated—or how to make it easier, healthier, and more connected—this episode is for you.Get More We Met At Acme!Youtube: @wemetatacmeIG: @lindzmetz @wemetatacme @wemetatbabySubstack: @wemetatacme + @wemetatbabyWebsite: @wemetatacmeChapters03:26 Journey into Sex Coaching08:20 Men's Sexual Health and Challenges35:55 Exploring Daily Pleasure37:55 Building a Relationship with Your Body39:51 Navigating Sexual Compatibility44:24 Addressing Sexual Myths and InsecuritiesProduced by Dear Media.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In this in-depth interview, Tony from GenRight Off-Road opens up about the real challenges of running an American-made Jeep parts company in today's world. From high-stakes business risks and unpredictable external factors (COVID, inflation, policy changes) to his passion for keeping manufacturing in the USA, Tony shares why GenRight prioritizes quality, complete kits, and honest pricing over cutting corners. He dives into: - The struggles of domestic manufacturing vs. overseas sourcing - How government policies (tariffs, R&D credits, California regulations) directly impact small businesses - Why he refuses to compromise on American jobs and premium materials - His frustration with career politicians and misallocated funds - Building complete, no-surprise kits based on his own garage-days experience - Material choices: when to use steel vs. aluminum (and why weight matters) - Favorite Jeep platforms (JKU, TJ/LJ conversions, Tracer builds) - The future of off-roading in California and fighting to keep trails open - Behind-the-scenes stories from racing, product development, and even visiting Jeep engineers in Michigan If you're a Jeep enthusiast who values American-made quality, innovation, and straight talk from someone who lives and breathes off-roading, this one's for you.

In this Crown Refs 1-1 Game Notes session, we break down Josh's game film, communication decisions, and on-court mechanics with a focus on confidence, certainty, and control. The conversation centers on how officials can stand firm under pressure, respond to coaches with rule-based clarity, and avoid reactionary whistles — especially in high-leverage moments and early-game situations. Through detailed film review, we reinforce the importance of proper positioning, whistle timing, and staying disciplined in one's primary, while emphasizing that the best officials are those who slow the game down and make decisions with conviction.Beyond mechanics, this session highlights the mental and preparatory side of officiating — from refining pregame captain and coach meetings to setting clear standards for sportsmanship and communication. We challenge you to simplify messaging, improve rules fluency, and commit to daily habits that build long-term confidence. The episode also explores officiating in blowout games, managing emotional coaches, and using self-awareness, fitness, and film study as tools for continuous growth. This session offers practical, repeatable strategies officials can apply immediately to elevate their presence, credibility, and performance.• Standing firm on correct calls despite coach pressure• Rule-based responses vs. repeating the same explanation• Making calls only when 100% certain — especially out of primary• Proper whistle cadence and avoiding early-game over-officiating• Positioning adjustments for improved open looks• Managing coaches without crossing mid-court unnecessarily• Officiating blowout games with accuracy and integrity• Using pregame meetings to set sportsmanship standards• Handling timeout mechanics and bench awareness• Physical fitness as a performance advantage• Building confidence through film review and self-evaluation• Avoiding phantom fouls and unnecessary intervention• Daily rules and case-play study as a growth habitNotable Topics & Key Takeaways

Jose Berlanga explains how he created his own real estate market, why focus beats growth, and the costly mistakes developers make chasing trends.In this episode of RealDealChat, Jack Hoss sits down with Jose Berlanga, a veteran real estate developer and entrepreneur, to break down how he created demand where none existed—and why focus, patience, and clarity matter more than chasing hot markets.Jose shares how he started developing inner-city Houston neighborhoods when they were considered “unbuildable,” why fear actually guided his best decisions, and how saturating a small area with consistent product helped him establish pricing power and brand recognition long before the market caught up.The conversation dives deep into developer psychology, long real estate cycles, why chasing higher price points almost derailed his business, and the hard-earned leadership lessons he learned building (and rebuilding) teams. Jose also delivers one of the clearest frameworks you've heard on hiring, focus, and avoiding shiny object syndrome as an entrepreneur.This is a masterclass in long-term thinking for developers, investors, and business owners.

Men's health, fitness, and longevity deserve a deeper and more honest conversation. In this episode, I sit down with Christian Palmer, a veteran bodybuilder, coach, and long-time advocate for sustainable strength and health. Drawing from decades of experience in physique development and training, Palmer shares practical insights into how men can continue to build muscle, maintain performance, and adapt their approach as they age. Our conversation addresses common but often avoided issues in men's health, including sarcopenia and erectile dysfunction. Palmer explains why these are not isolated problems, but reflections of hormonal balance, metabolic health, and lifestyle habits. We discuss the importance of consistent resistance training, adequate protein intake, and strategic hormone management to preserve strength, energy, and physical independence over time. This episode reinforces a holistic, data-driven approach to men's wellness. Beyond workouts and nutrition, we explore the value of comprehensive blood work, understanding biomarkers, and using objective data to guide decisions. Palmer emphasizes that thriving with age requires more than effort in the gym. It requires awareness, intention, and a commitment to long-term healthspan.   Key takeaways: Addressing Men's Health Concerns: Acknowledging and tackling issues like erectile dysfunction and cardiovascular health can lead to significant long-term benefits. Building and Maintaining Muscle Mass: Engaging in resistance training and focusing on compound movements is crucial for combating age-related muscle loss. Navigating Aging as an Opportunity: By understanding sarcopenia, men can leverage resistance training and proper nutrition to remain healthy and active well into their later years. Optimizing Health through Blood Work: Regular testing of biomarkers can provide critical insights that help improve lifestyle and health decisions. The Role of Testosterone: Understanding and managing testosterone levels through professional guidance can profoundly impact men's health and energy levels. More About Christian Palmer:   Christian helps men reignite their vigor, build unshakable confidence, and become the strongest version of themselves through getting lean, building muscle and conquering nutrition. With over a decade and a half of coaching and hundreds of client transformations, he specializes in guiding men to get lean, build muscle, optimize hormones, and overcome challenges like diabetes, low testosterone, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, and digestive issues. His passion for men's health began when his mother was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. After helping her lose weight, reverse her condition, and eliminate the need for insulin, he committed his life to empowering others through nutrition and strength. During his years at Equinox, Christian coached countless men over 40 who battled low energy, joint pain, diminished confidence, and the pressure of providing for their families. Helping them reclaim their edge inspired him to launch Relentless Fitness and Nutrition. Bodybuilding is Christian's personal standard of excellence. It's his way of pushing his own limits and embodying the discipline and resilience that he helps men forge in their own lives. His journey serves as a model for clients who want to become the badass 2.0 version of themselves. Christian's mission is simple: help men build a body they're proud of, lead their families with strength, and live with the confidence of a man who refuses to settle.

Is the constant push to be great quietly making life (and money) harder than it needs to be? This vault-worthy episode from 2023 hits differently, especially during a season when expectations run high and energy can run low. Joe Saul-Sehy is joined by Len Penzo, Paulette Perhach, Diania Merriam, and special guest Stephanie O'Connell Rodriguez for a candid roundtable about ambition, procrastination, perfectionism, and the surprising freedom that comes from choosing good over exhausting. Instead of chasing flawless systems or ideal outcomes, the conversation explores what actually moves the needle in real life. Building momentum. Removing friction. Letting go of the idea that every decision has to be optimized. Whether it's money habits, career goals, or simply getting unstuck, this episode offers a calmer, more sustainable way forward without lowering your standards or your future. Along the way, the group shares personal stories, practical strategies, and a few moments that only happen when smart people stop pretending they've got it all figured out. It's thoughtful, honest, and exactly the kind of perspective many Stackers didn't know they needed. What You'll Take Away from This Episode: • Why perfection often slows progress more than fear or lack of knowledge • How "good enough" can be a powerful financial strategy, not a compromise • Practical ways to break through procrastination without burning out • When delegation and automation actually help and when they just add complexity • How to balance ambition with contentment without feeling like you're settling • Why consistency beats intensity in both money and life Questions Worth Sitting With: Where are you chasing "perfect" when "done" would be better? What would improve immediately if you lowered the bar just a little? Which money habit could become easier if you stopped optimizing it? We'd love to hear your take. Share your thoughts in the Spotify comments or bring the conversation into the Basement Facebook group, especially if this episode gave you permission to ease up without giving up. Sometimes the best financial move isn't pushing harder. It's choosing progress that actually fits your life. This one's a quiet classic, and those tend to age the best.

If you're in the creative space, you already know this tension: the pressure to create never really shuts off. Content still needs to go out, even when your ideas dry up. So what happens when your mind stalls? How do you get unstuck without forcing it or burning out and still create ideas your audience actually cares about when life is full and inspiration feels miles away? In this episode, I sit down with Cat Shanu to tackle those questions and help you break free from creative ruts. We dig into what really causes creative blocks, how perfectionism quietly kills momentum, and what to do when inspiration feels out of reach. Cat shares her own pause from creating, and I open up about staying consistent as a CEO, father, and host, even during low-energy seasons. Whether you're a content creator, an entrepreneur, or simply trying to build more consistent habits, this episode will help you reconnect with your creative rhythm and move forward with intention. In this episode, we discuss: [00:00:00] Why creators struggle to make content [00:01:21] The natural ebb and flow of creativity and why forcing it backfires [00:02:33] Finding inspiration by immersing yourself in what moves you [00:04:09] Cat's four-month creative pause and how she reignited her spark [00:04:17] Building LinkedIn systems—batching, scheduling, and staying consistent [00:06:22] Turning a Beastie Boys Reddit post into content gold [00:07:10] How music and ChatGPT fuel momentum when ideas stall [00:08:17] Treating each post like a temporary tattoo [00:12:52] Using audience engagement to break creative blocks [00:13:31] Why creating for one person beats creating for everyone [00:14:51] Telling real stories instead of chasing perfection [00:19:45] Using simple prompts to generate endless ideas [00:22:05] Cat and Billy's peak creative workflows [00:26:12] Matching tasks to energy for better output [00:29:29] Creating consistently while leading, parenting, and podcasting [00:33:33] Building your catalog of inspiration and learning from top creators [00:38:15] Why breaks sharpen creativity and awareness [00:45:26] Letting go of perfection and taking small steps forward Notable Quotes [00:42:21] “When stuck, don't generate, retrieve, go get that information from somewhere else.” - Billy [00:12:52] “Treat your post like a temporary tattoo. It's not a permanent tattoo, it's a temporary tattoo. Therefore it doesn't matter.” - Billy [00:16:08] “When you think of your community, not as your followers, but as a friend. You can definitely leverage them to just guide you.” - Cat [00:24:14] “It's easier to think of creative ideas than when you focus on the whole big picture.” - Cat [00:32:54] “Most people will cancel an appointment they make for themselves, but they'll always attend appointment they have with somebody else.” - Billy [00:49:56] “The only true, perfect thing I can think of is God. And we put this idea in our head that we need to show up as perfection.” - Cat Cat Shanu LinkedIn: ⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/cat-shanu Instagram: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/thefemmeguide/ Billy Samoa Saleebey LinkedIn: ⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/billysamoa/ Email: ⁠billy@podify.com⁠ and ⁠saleebey@gmail.com⁠  Insight Out  Website: ⁠https://www.insightoutshow.com/ Learn more about your ad choices.

High performers often believe ambition always leads to burnout.This episode shows how to pursue meaningful goals without self-abandonment, using nervous system regulation, identity alignment, and stewarded ambition that doesn't cost you.Many high-capacity humans assume burnout is simply the cost of ambition.In this episode of The Recalibration, Julie Holly challenges that belief by introducing a different way of moving through work, leadership, and purpose — ambition that is regulated, aligned, and sustainable.Building on the week's exploration of burnout recovery, decision fatigue, role confusion, and success without fulfillment, this conversation focuses on embodiment. It answers the question many leaders quietly carry: How do I stay ambitious without leaving myself behind?Julie explains how burnout is often not caused by effort itself, but by misalignment between identity and motion. When ambition is driven by pressure, fear, or the need to prove worth, the nervous system remains locked in urgency. Over time, this leads to exhaustion, spiritual fatigue, and identity drift.Through the lens of Identity-Level Recalibration (ILR), Julie reframes ambition as something that begins with identity rather than behavior. ILR is not another mindset tactic or productivity strategy. It is the root-level recalibration that makes every other tool effective again — by restoring internal alignment before action.The episode briefly returns to Viktor Frankl, whose work in logotherapy revealed that meaning organizes the nervous system differently than urgency. Frankl's life illustrates how intensity can coexist with presence, and how ambition rooted in meaning does not burn the system — it steadies it.This episode is especially supportive for leaders navigating performance pressure, burnout recovery, spiritual exhaustion, or the fear that slowing down means losing momentum.Today's Micro RecalibrationBefore taking action today, pause and ask:What am I moving toward — and what am I moving from?Let clarity guide your pace, not pressure.Team Recalibration (Leadership Extension)If you lead a team, practice this before meetings or major initiatives:Begin by orienting to purpose before performance.Name why the work matters before discussing how fast it needs to happen.Ask:“What is this in service of?”When teams are oriented to meaning, urgency softens, decisions sharpen, and ambition becExplore Identity-Level Recalibration→ Join the next Friday Recalibration Live experience → Take your listening deeper!

This episode features host Travis Chappell and producer Eric having a rapid-fire, hilarious, and surprisingly deep “Would You Rather” session built entirely around money, investing, and lifestyle tradeoffs. Using a list of AI-generated prompts, they unpack how real people should think about risk, retirement, lifestyle creep, and building wealth with their actual constraints in mind.​ On this episode we talk about: Whether to take $10 million today or $1 million a year for life Swinging for a 10x moonshot vs. locking in an 8% return forever Being “early to the next Apple” versus compounding slower, safer returns Choosing between keeping your investments or keeping your business Building one $100M company that burns you out vs. multiple smaller businesses you love Working 80-hour weeks for a few years to make work optional vs. coasting forever Unlimited VC money with no control vs. slow, bootstrapped freedom Fame with no privacy vs. quiet wealth no one sees Driving a paid-off Toyota with rentals vs. renting a house with a Lambo Taking a $250K job you hate vs. $75K doing work you love Top 3 Takeaways Safe, consistent returns beat reckless moonshots—especially early on. Travis leans toward guaranteed growth and stacking cash first, then taking bigger swings once a solid base is built. Your best wealth-building lever at first is income, not investments. Until your portfolio can support you, your business and skills are the engine that funds long-term wealth. Money decisions are really lifestyle decisions. Tradeoffs like privacy vs. fame, burnout vs. freedom, and hating a high-paying job vs. loving a lower-paying one matter more than raw dollar amounts. Notable Quotes “Get to a hundred grand, then put as much money as you can into the safe thing before you go start playing around.” “The goal isn't retirement; the goal is to make work optional.” “There's a massive difference between having to work to eat and choosing to work because you love what you do.”​ ✖️✖️✖️✖️

BONUS: The Operating System for Software-Native Organizations - The Five Core Principles In this BONUS episode, the final installment of our Special Xmas 2025 reflection on Software-native businesses, we explore the five fundamental principles that form the operating system for software-native organizations. Building on the previous four episodes, this conversation provides the blueprint for building organizations that can adapt at the speed of modern business demands, where the average company lifespan on the S&P 500 has dropped from 33 years in the 1960s to a projected 12 years by 2027. The Challenge of Adaptation "What we're observing in Ukraine is adaptation happening at a speed that would have been unthinkable in traditional military contexts - new drone capabilities emerge, countermeasures appear within days, and those get countered within weeks." The opening draws a powerful parallel between the rapid adaptation we're witnessing in drone warfare and the existential threats facing modern businesses. While our businesses aren't facing literal warfare, they are confronting dramatic disruption. Clayton Christensen documented this in "The Innovator's Dilemma," but what he observed in the 1970s and 80s is happening exponentially faster now, with software as the accelerant. If we can improve businesses' chances of survival even by 10-15%, we're talking about thousands of companies that could thrive instead of fail, millions of jobs preserved, and enormous value created. The central question becomes: how do you build an organization that can adapt at this speed? Principle 1: Constant Experimentation with Tight Feedback Loops "Everything becomes an experiment. Not in the sense of being reckless or uncommitted, but in being clear about what we're testing and what we expect to learn. I call this: work like a scientist: learning is the goal." Software developers have practiced this for decades through Test-Driven Development, but now this TDD mindset is becoming the ruling metaphor for managing products and entire businesses. The practice involves framing every initiative with three clear elements: the goal (what are we trying to achieve?), the action (what specific thing will we do?), and the learning (what will we measure to know if it worked?). When a client says "we need to improve our retrospectives," software-native organizations don't just implement a new format. Instead, they connect it to business value - improving the NPS score for users of a specific feature by running focused retrospectives that explicitly target user pain points and tracking both the improvements implemented and the actual NPS impact. After two weeks, you know whether it worked. The experiment mindset means you're always learning, never stuck. This is TDD applied to organizational change, and it's powerful because every process change connects directly to customer outcomes. Principle 2: Clear Connection to Business Value "Software-native organizations don't measure success by tasks completed, story points delivered, or features shipped. Or even cycle time or throughput. They measure success by business outcomes achieved." While this seems obvious, most organizations still optimize for output, not outcomes. The practice uses Impact Mapping or similar outcome-focused frameworks where every initiative answers three questions: What business behavior are we trying to change? How will we measure that change? What's the minimum software needed to create that change? A financial services client wanted to "modernize their reporting system" - a 12-month initiative with dozens of features in project terms. Reframed through a business value lens, the goal became reducing time analysts spend preparing monthly reports from 80 hours to 20 hours, measured by tracking actual analyst time, starting with automating just the three most time-consuming report components. The first delivery reduced time to 50 hours - not perfect, but 30 hours saved, with clear learning about which parts of reporting actually mattered. The organization wasn't trying to fulfill requirements; they were laser focused on the business value that actually mattered. When you're connected to business value, you can adapt. When you're committed to a feature list, you're stuck. Principle 3: Software as Value Amplifier "Software isn't just 'something we do' or a support function. Software is an amplifier of your business model. If your business model generates $X of value per customer through manual processes, software should help you generate $10X or more." Before investing in software, ask whether this can amplify your business model by 10x or more - not 10% improvement, but 10x. That's the threshold where software's unique properties (zero marginal cost, infinite scale, instant distribution) actually matter, and where the cost/value curve starts to invert. Remember: software is still the slowest and most expensive way to check if a feature would deliver value, so you better have a 10x or more expectation of return. Stripe exemplifies this principle perfectly. Before Stripe, accepting payments online required a merchant account (weeks to set up), integration with payment gateways (months of development), and PCI compliance (expensive and complex). Stripe reduced that to adding seven lines of code - not 10% easier, but 100x easier. This enabled an entire generation of internet businesses that couldn't have existed otherwise: subscription services, marketplaces, on-demand platforms. That's software as amplifier. It didn't optimize the old model; it made new models possible. If your software initiatives are about 5-10% improvements, ask yourself: is software the right medium for this problem, or should you focus where software can create genuine amplification? Principle 4: Software as Strategic Advantage "Software-native organizations use software for strategic advantage and competitive differentiation, not just optimization, automation, or cost reduction. This means treating software development as part of your very strategy, not a way to implement a strategy that is separate from the software." This concept, discussed with Tom Gilb and Simon Holzapfel on the podcast as "continuous strategy," means that instead of creating a strategy every few years and deploying it like a project, strategy and execution are continuously intertwined when it comes to software delivery. The practice involves organizing around competitive capabilities that software uniquely enables by asking: How can software 10x the value we generate right now? What can we do with software that competitors can't easily replicate? Where does software create a defensible advantage? How does our software create compounding value over time? Amazon Web Services didn't start as a product strategy but emerged from Amazon building internal capabilities to run their e-commerce platform at scale. They realized they'd built infrastructure that was extremely hard to replicate and asked: "What if we offered it to others?" AWS became Amazon's most profitable business - not because they optimized their existing retail business, but because they turned an internal capability into a strategic platform. The software wasn't supporting the strategy - the software became the strategy. Compare this to companies that use software just for cost reduction or process optimization - they're playing defense. Software-native companies use software to play offense, creating capabilities that change the competitive landscape. Continuous strategy means your software capabilities and your business strategy evolve together, in real-time, not in annual planning cycles. Principle 5: Real-Time Observability and Adaptive Systems "Software-native organizations use telemetry and real-time analytics not just to understand their software, but to understand their entire business and adapt dynamically. Observability practices from DevOps are actually ways of managing software delivery itself. We're bootstrapping our own operating system for software businesses." This principle connects back to Principle 1 but takes it to the organizational level. The practice involves building systems that constantly sense what's happening and can adapt in real-time: deploy with feature flags so you can turn capabilities on/off instantly, use A/B testing not just for UI tweaks but for business model experiments, instrument everything so you know how users actually behave, and build feedback loops that let the system respond automatically. Social media companies and algorithmic trading firms already operate this way. Instagram doesn't deploy a new feed algorithm and wait six months to see if it works - they're constantly testing variations, measuring engagement in real-time, adapting the algorithm continuously. The system is sensing and responding every second. High-frequency trading firms make thousands of micro-adjustments per day based on market signals. Imagine applying this to all businesses: a retail company that adjusts pricing, inventory, and promotions in real-time based on demand signals; a healthcare system that dynamically reallocates resources based on patient flow patterns; a logistics company whose routing algorithms adapt to traffic, weather, and delivery success rates continuously. This is the future of software-native organizations - not just fast decision-making, but systems that sense and adapt at software speed, with humans setting goals and constraints but software executing continuous optimization. We're moving from "make a decision, deploy it, wait to see results" to "deploy multiple variants, measure continuously, let the system learn." This closes the loop back to Principle 1 - everything is an experiment, but now the experiments run automatically at scale with near real-time signal collection and decision making. It's Experiments All The Way Down "We established that software has become societal infrastructure. That software is different - it's not a construction project with a fixed endpoint; it's a living capability that evolves with the business." This five-episode series has built a complete picture: Episode 1 established that software is societal infrastructure and fundamentally different from traditional construction. Episode 2 diagnosed the problem - project management thinking treats software like building a bridge, creating cascade failures throughout organizations. Episode 3 showed that solutions already exist, with organizations like Spotify, Amazon, and Etsy practicing software-native development successfully. Episode 4 exposed the organizational immune system - the four barriers preventing transformation: the project mindset, funding models, business/IT separation, and risk management theater. Today's episode provides the blueprint - the five principles forming the operating system for software-native organizations. This isn't theory. This is how software-native organizations already operate. The question isn't whether this works - we know it does. The question is: how do you get started? The Next Step In Building A Software-Native Organization "This is how transformation starts - not with grand pronouncements or massive reorganizations, but with conversations and small experiments that compound over time. Software is too important to society to keep managing it wrong." Start this week by doing two things.  First, start a conversation: pick one of these five principles - whichever resonates most with your current challenges - and share it with your team or leadership. Don't present it as "here's what we should do" but as "here's an interesting idea - what would this mean for us?" That conversation will reveal where you are, what's blocking you, and what might be possible.  Second, run one small experiment: take something you're currently doing and frame it as an experiment with a clear goal, action, and learning measure. Make it small, make it fast - one week maximum, 24 hours if you can - then stop and learn. You now have the blueprint. You understand the barriers. You've seen the alternatives. The transformation is possible, and it starts with you.

A Care More Be Better Solocast with Corinna Bellizzi In this solocast, Corinna Bellizzi zooms out from the headlines to examine a deeper and more unsettling reality: the world is not moving together on climate action. Instead, nations are choosing very different paths — shaped by energy dependence, political cycles, economic pressures, and fear-driven narratives. Building on last week's episode, The Global Crossroads of Climate Policy, this conversation explores why global climate leadership is diverging, how policy instability and “climate whiplash” undermine progress, and why regenerative leadership offers a credible path forward amid uncertainty. Rather than focusing on doom or delay, this episode reframes divergence as a signal — one that reveals where systems are breaking down, where new models are emerging, and where leadership rooted in care, systems thinking, and long-term resilience is quietly reshaping the future. In This Episode, You'll Explore: Why a unified global climate response was always more myth than reality How energy dependence and political cycles drive divergent climate paths What “climate whiplash” is — and why instability may be as dangerous as inaction Why regenerative approaches change the climate conversation entirely Where regenerative leadership is already emerging beyond national politics What systems literacy, moral courage, and place-based wisdom look like in practice How to stay grounded and hopeful in a world moving in many directions at once Related Episode The Global Crossroads of Climate Policy: Progress, Pushback, & the Battle for a Regenerative FutureThis solocast sets the stage by examining recent global climate policy wins and rollbacks.

"I've worked really hard and success is really hard. But what I know is harder is being broke. And what I know is the hardest is living an unfulfilled life."  Building a global movement starts with clarity of purpose, disciplined execution, and the courage to act before conditions feel perfect. Sustainable growth is created by focusing on a clear mission, reverse-engineering goals into daily priorities, and eliminating distractions that drain time and energy. Success is less about perfection and more about consistent, intentional action taken in service of something larger than oneself.  Sandra Yancey shares how she built a multimillion-dollar, global organization by designing systems that scale, cultivating values-driven culture, and leading with generosity. She explains why entrepreneurs must master time management, build repeatable processes, and create environments where people feel respected, supported, and empowered to perform at a high level.  Sandra is the cofounder of eWomenNetwork, one of the world's largest business communities for women entrepreneurs. With decades of experience advising Fortune 500 leaders and scaling membership-based organizations, she is widely recognized for her expertise in leadership, systems thinking, and movement-building.  Expert action steps:  Give generously without keeping score, and always remember who helped you along the way.  Get clear on what you want, choose five goals, and break them down into quarterly, monthly, weekly, and daily actions.  Take action before everything feels perfect—progress comes from moving, not waiting.  Stay a student  Learn more & connect:   https://www.ewomennetwork.com/  Also in this episode:   https://scribe.com/  https://asana.com/  Visit https://www.eCircleAcademy.com and book a success call with Nicky to take your practice to the next level.

In this special end-of-year episode of the ArtTactic Podcast, host Adam Green is joined by Brian Boucher, senior market reporter at ARTnews, to unpack one of the most confounding years the art market has seen in recent memory. Building on Boucher's recent ARTnews article in which he described the year as “the year the art market stopped making sense,” the conversation explores the sharp contrasts between record-setting auction sales and softer performances elsewhere, the wildly different energy levels across major art fairs and what the wave of gallery closures might signal about deeper structural pressures in the gallery model. They also dig into the rise of increasingly fragmented micro-markets driven by individual artists and career stages, and why this makes it so difficult to draw broad conclusions about the market as a whole. The episode closes with a forward-looking discussion on how collectors, galleries, and auction houses are feeling as they head into 2026, and whether cautious optimism may finally be taking hold.

With rigorous scrutiny and deep care, Robin Hansen's Prison Born: Incarceration and Motherhood in the Colonial Shadow (U Regina Press, 2024) offers crucial insight into the intersections of ongoing colonial harms facing Indigenous mothers in Canada. Building from an unplanned call to Hansen from a pregnant, incarcerated Indigenous woman in 2016, Prison Born highlights how custodial prison sentences cause discriminatory and swift harm—automatically separating mothers from their children, immediately after birth. Using Access to Information requests along with extensive research, Hansen examines the legal rights of these women—the majority of whom are Indigenous—and finds that Jacquie and her son are by no means alone: automatic mother-infant separation without due process remains the norm in most jurisdictions in Canada. Prison Born calls attention to the colonial and gendered assumptions that continue to underpin the legal system—assumptions that so frequently lead to the violation of the rights and denial of personhood for children and their mothers. Robin Hansen is an Associate Professor in the Faculty of Law at the University of Saskatoon. Her research focuses on legal personhood; public and private international law; and systems theory of law.Rine Vieth is an FRQ Postdoctoral Fellow at Université Laval. They are currently studying how anti-gender mobilization shapes migration policy, particularly in regards to asylum determinations in the UK and Canada. Learn more about your ad choices.

Building from an unplanned call to Hansen from a pregnant, incarcerated Indigenous woman in 2016, Prison Born highlights how custodial prison sentences cause discriminatory and swift harm—automatically separating mothers from their children, immediately after birth. Using Access to Information requests along with extensive research, Hansen examines the legal rights of these women—the majority of whom are Indigenous—and finds that Jacquie and her son are by no means alone: automatic mother-infant separation without due process remains the norm in most jurisdictions in Canada. Prison Born calls attention to the colonial and gendered assumptions that continue to underpin the legal system—assumptions that so frequently lead to the violation of the rights and denial of personhood for children and their mothers. Robin Hansen is an Associate Professor in the Faculty of Law at the University of Saskatoon. Her research focuses on legal personhood; public and private international law; and systems theory of law.Rine Vieth is an FRQ Postdoctoral Fellow at Université Laval. They are currently studying how anti-gender mobilization shapes migration policy, particularly in regards to asylum determinations in the UK and Canada. Learn more about your ad choices.

In this special holiday replay episode, we revisit our conversation with Ashley Beckwith, founder of Foray Biosciences, who shares her groundbreaking work in plant cell culture and tissue engineering. Growing up in Colorado, Ashley watched forests disappear to housing development and wildfire—experiences that sparked her lifelong mission to reimagine how we produce plant materials. After training as an engineer and working in medical device development, she pivoted to apply tissue engineering concepts to plants, initially exploring lab-grown wood before discovering a more fundamental problem: the lack of accessible, efficient plant cell culture processes. Today, Foray develops fabricated seeds for forest restoration, creates harvest-free plant products, and builds AI-powered tools to accelerate plant science R&D. Ashley explains why plant cells are the fundamental building blocks for everything from molecules to materials to entire ecosystems, and how her company is working to solve the seed shortage crisis that prevents us from restoring 94% of post-wildfire sites. She also discusses the potential for de-extinction of recently lost plant species in California and the importance of creating regenerative rather than extractive relationships with plant systems. This conversation explores the intersection of synthetic biology, forestry, and biomanufacturing while reminding us that we are all, whether we know it or not, plant people.Grow Everything brings the bioeconomy to life. Hosts Karl Schmieder and Erum Azeez Khan share stories and interview the leaders and influencers changing the world by growing everything. Biology is the oldest technology. And it can be engineered. What are we growing?Learn more at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.messaginglab.com/groweverything⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Chapters:(00:00:00) - Holiday Greetings and Stranger Things on Broadway(00:04:41) - Introducing Ashley Beckwith and Foray Biosciences(00:07:17) - Growing Up in Colorado: Watching Forests Disappear(00:10:48) - From Medical Engineering to Plant Biology(00:15:00) - The Lab-Grown Wood Experiment(00:18:58) - Understanding Plant Cells as Versatile Production Agents(00:25:00) - Fabricated Seeds for California Biodiversity Restoration(00:33:00) - Addressing the Wildfire Restoration Seed Shortage(00:42:00) - Building the Plant Operating System with AI(00:50:00) - Why We're All Plant PeopleLinks and Resources:Foray Biosciences⁠⁠SF500 (Argentinian Global Venture Fund)⁠⁠Syensqo Corporate Venture Fund⁠⁠H.C. Wainwright⁠⁠University of Vermont - Dr. Steve Keller⁠⁠University of Maryland - Dr. Matt FitzpatrickForay Biosciences154. No Trees Were Harmed: Symmetry Wood's Gabe Tavas on Growing Wood from WasteTopics Covered: developmental biology, morphology, morphospace, planarians, electroceuticals, bioelectricity, tissue regeneration, biomedical applications, holidays, ChristmasHave a question or comment? Message us here:Text or Call (804) 505-5553 ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠  / ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Twitter⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ / ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠LinkedIn⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ / ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Youtube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ / ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Grow Everything⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Email: groweverything@messaginglab.comMusic by: NihiloreProduction by: Amplafy Media

NBA GM Scott Perry joins the Hoop Genius podcast for a rare, unfiltered deep dive into what it actually takes to build a winning NBA franchise - and why fans consistently underestimate how hard the job really is. Perry takes listeners inside the Sacramento Kings organisation, breaking down the realities of modern roster construction under the new CBA, the impact of the first and second apron, and why team-building today is fundamentally different from even a decade ago. He explains why patience, internal development, and alignment between ownership, front office, and coaching staff matter more than splashy moves or unrealistic timelines. The conversation covers Perry's transition from media back into the GM chair, how stepping away gave him a league-wide perspective, and what that taught him about trends shaping the NBA's future - from the return of size and two-big lineups to the growing importance of multiple ball-handlers and half-court execution in clutch moments. Perry also gives candid insight into: Building culture versus chasing optics Why the draft remains the most sustainable competitive advantage Developing young players in a results-obsessed league The real value of veterans like Russell Westbrook in establishing standards How front offices actually think about timelines, expectations, and pressure from fans This episode strips away fan myths, social-media narratives, and NBA 2K logic — replacing them with the grounded reality of how winning franchises are built, maintained, and protected over time. If you want to understand the NBA beyond box scores and trade machines, this is a masterclass straight from an active NBA general manager.

Have you ever realized that the very things that lead to success, purpose, and fulfillment are the things nearly everyone runs away from? Discomfort, hard work, uncomfortable situations and conversations, are the things that no one desires more of, and yet… The ability to build a wildly successful and scalable business is within reach for nearly everyone reading this, and yet through self-selection on the few will do what needs to be done to rise to the top. Of the few that rise to the top, even fewer will do so feeling fulfilled in their life. It takes much more than skills and relationships to be successful. It takes grit and determination to do the hard things. It requires you go through emotionally taxing, ego killing moments of failure, humility, and self-realization to become adaptable and become who you want to be. In this keynote, Tom reveals the hard facts of entrepreneurship and what it takes to be in the 1%. “If you're only good in the beginning you lack grit.” After watching this it's time for a hard self-talk and challenge to yourself. It's time for a no B.S. approach of what will it take to build yourself into the person you desire to be. Don't underestimate what you are capable of, stop thinking too small and get uncomfortable. “To those human beings who are of any concern to me I wish suffering, desolation, sickness, ill treatment, indignities - I wish that they should not remain unfamiliar with profound self-contempt, the torture of self-mistrust, the wretchedness of the vanquished: I have no pity for them, because I wish them the only thing that can prove today whether one is worth anything or not - that one endures.” -Nietzche SHOW NOTES: 0:00 | Introduction to The Journey Is the Win 0:22 | Entrepreneurs Survive Rock Bottom 9:12 | Connect to Purpose (Not Money) 16:41 | Develop Your Mindset First 24:16 | 6 Ways to Develop New Skills 37:13 | How to Develop Grit 46:16 | Identify Your Passion & Develop It 51:03 | Building a Scalable Business 1:01:29 | Value of Online Community 1:14:17 | Success Requires Clear Goals Are You Ready for EXTRA Impact?

In a world increasingly shaped by far-right policies, corporate greed, and growing authoritarianism, it makes sense to feel afraid about what the future may hold. Building strong relationships with our friends, families, and neighbors provides a foundation for mutual aid and collective strength. It's through these connections that we can counter the isolating and exploitative systems imposed by predatory capitalism. When we build communities, we aren't just reacting to oppression; we are actively creating the world we wish to live in. Community-building undermines the atomization demanded by autocratic regimes. It is both a shield against harm and a seed for a better tomorrow. Community is resistance. We see the forms it takes in Florida and elsewhere.

Watch the YouTube version of this episode HEREDo you want to improve client communication for your firm? In this episode of the Maximum Lawyer Podcast, Devon Slovensky, founder of a Southwestern Virginia Family Law Firm, shares how her team maintains high standards of client communication amid rapid growth. Speaking at a MaxLawCon 2025, Devon introduces the “client happiness call” initiative—which has improved client communication for her firm.A firm's client communication can really make or break its success. Devon shares how her firm's client happiness calls have been used to determine gaps in communication. Doing this ensures that attorneys are held accountable to what they say they will do. Having these calls also ensures clients are prioritized and attorneys are doing their jobs. Creating a system for this can include having a client happiness coordinator and some sort of CRM to manage these calls and input and retain information.Devon speaks to unhappy clients and how to unearth this and understand this as a lawyer. Most of her clients are satisfied, but it can be tough to admit when you as a lawyer can't deliver something 100% because of whatever issue that presents itself. Understanding this can create confidence in a lawyer in having better communication with clients on realistic expectations. Avoiding unhappy clients includes keeping them up to date on their case, explaining things that they don't understand and being honest about next steps.Listen in to learn more!3:10 Client Communication Gaps and Accountability4:08 Building the Client Happiness Call System7:58 Metrics and Board Visualization10:01 Attorney Confidence and Common Issues12:06 Unearthing Quietly Frustrated ClientsConnect with Devon:Website Tune in to today's episode and checkout the full show notes here.

What if the secret to connecting with your kids wasn't more time—but better minutes? ✅ The See, Hear, Know framework for becoming a student of your kids ✅ Why over-teaching actually backfires (and what to do instead) ✅ How to plan your family's year WITH them, not just for them SUMMARY: What if the most impactful moments with your kids are just nine minutes a day? In this episode, fatherhood coach Dan Tinquist shares how morning, afternoon, and evening connection points can transform your relationship with your kids. You'll also hear why over-teaching actually backfires, how to build a family culture where your kids feel safe to fail, and the surprising parallels between making sourdough bread and raising kids. TAKEAWAYS: The most important nine minutes of your kid's day are the first three when they wake up, the three when you reconnect after school or work, and the last three before bed. If every moment is a teachable moment, you will teach them nothing. Sometimes the best thing you can do is pray instead of lecture. We don't rest from our work—we work from our rest. Contentment today fuels driven action tomorrow. Building a family culture where kids feel safe to fail means they'll run to you when they mess up, not from you. Planning your year with your family—not for them—creates ownership and adventure everyone can look forward to. GUEST: Dan Tinquist is a fatherhood coach, host of the Confidad Podcast, and creator of the Time Well Spent Method and Family Culture Framework. He coaches dads from around the world to move from surviving to thriving in their homes. Dan and his wife have four boys and live in Minnesota. QUOTES: "If every moment is a teachable moment, I will teach them nothing." "Control is an illusion. It is chaos that we are attempting to bring peace into." "We don't rest from our work. We work from our rest." "His mercies are new every single morning. When's the last time you lived a perfect day?" "I'm going to pray instead of open my big fat mouth and tell them why I'm right and they're wrong."
