What if your ability to lead under pressure has less to do with having all the answers and more to do with how your nervous system responds?In this episode, Christina sits down with Alan McLaren to explore the connection between leadership, emotional intelligence, and nervous system regulation. They unpack what really happens when we're under pressure and how becoming more self-aware can change the way we communicate, build trust, and lead others.Alan shares practical insights on how leaders can reprogram their responses to high-pressure situations, create stronger human connections, and move beyond simply managing people to truly understanding them.If you're a leader, entrepreneur, or high achiever who wants to perform at a high level without losing connection, trust, or yourself in the process, this conversation is one you'll want to hear.

Disaster planning is no longer reserved for rare emergencies. It's becoming a core part of facility management. In this episode, IFMA's Director of Knowledge and Insights, Dr. Matt Tucker is joined by Holley Henderson and Dr. Mark Wilson of Chemical Insights to discuss how extreme weather, wildfires and cascading disasters are changing the role of facility managers.

Disclaimer: This episode is for general informational and entertainment purposes and discusses Illinois accessible parking rules as we understand them at the time of recording. Laws and regulations can change, so please check official sources for the most current information.In this episode of The Clopen Effect, we discussed Illinois laws and regulations concerning parking spaces reserved for persons with disabilities.We covered who may legally use designated accessible parking spaces, how disability parking placards and license plates must be displayed, and the requirement that the authorized person be present and enter or exit the vehicle when using the parking privileges.We also discussed access aisles, the striped areas next to accessible parking spaces. Illinois law prohibits parking in these access aisles, including for vehicles displaying disability parking placards or license plates.The episode also covers the difference between standard disability parking placards and Illinois' meter-exempt placards. A blue permanent placard does not provide an exemption from parking meter fees or time limits; the yellow-and-gray meter-exempt placard provides those exemptions subject to the applicable restrictions.Finally, we discuss misuse of disability parking placards and license plates, applicable penalties, and how to report alleged abuse of Illinois' disability parking program. The Illinois Secretary of State specifically notes that not all disabilities are apparent and advises people not to confront someone they suspect of misuse.If you're a member, use the private RSS feed link you received when you signed up for the $2/month membership.

Have you ever thought you were prepared for an emergency, only to discover that something you were counting on didn't work?That's exactly what happened to Greg Peterson during Hurricane Helene. His generator failed. His backup battery failed. And suddenly, the old preparedness saying "Two is one, one is none" became very real.But preparedness doesn't have to be complicated, expensive, or frightening.In this conversation, Greg and I talk about what it really means to live a prepared life. We share stories, laugh about our collections of pressure canners and dehydrators, and explore how small, everyday choices can make a tremendous difference when life takes an unexpected turn.In this episode, we talk about:Why having a backup isn't enough if you never test it.What Hurricane Helene taught Greg about generators, water, and cooking without electricity.How to build a stocked pantry using meals your family already loves.Why skills are more valuable than stuff.Simple alternatives for cooking, lighting, and staying comfortable during a power outage.Why preparedness looks different depending on where you live.How to get started by taking inventory of what you already own.Why self-reliance allows us to serve our families and communities.Greg's wonderful idea for a neighborhood potato planting party!A thought to take with youPreparedness isn't about collecting enough stuff to survive every possible disaster.It's about learning to live in a way that gives you confidence, peace, and the ability to help others.Start with what you have. Learn something new. Build a little at a time.And don't forget to test that generator!Connect with Greg PetersonGreg is the founder of The Urban Farm and host of The Urban Farm Podcast, where he shares inspiring stories and practical knowledge about growing food, urban farming, and creating stronger communities.Listen to The Urban Farm Podcast: Available on your favorite podcast platform.Greg Peterson, The Urban Farm Podcast — https://www.urbanfarm.org/blog/podcast/Connect with WendiExplore homesteading, food storage, canning, and preparedness resources at Joyfully Prepared .Find more episodes of Homesteading Made Simple on your favorite podcast platform and YouTube.

What do NBA teams really look for when evaluating players?Utah Jazz Director of Operations Austin Ainge joins the Especially for Athletes Podcast to share lessons from a career spent evaluating talent and building professional basketball teams.Austin discusses why character matters in scouting, what great leadership really looks like, why the best leaders also know how to follow, and why “losing yourself in the team” can improve both performance and happiness.He also shares insights on handling social media and outside noise, developing resilience, taking mental health seriously, competing fiercely without hating your opponent, and what professional teams look for beyond talent.From high school athletes to coaches and parents, this conversation offers a fascinating look inside professional sports—and a reminder that the athletes who make the biggest impact aren't always the loudest.

What's actually worth spending your money on, and what's just a waste?In this solo episode, Christina breaks down the upgrades, experiences, and investments she believes are truly worth the splurge, from house cleaners and first-class flights to anything that saves time, reduces stress, or creates more joy. She also gets real about what isn't worth the money, including spending to impress others, overspending on appearances, and investing heavily in a business before you have paying clients. With plenty of personal stories, strong opinions, and a few controversial takes along the way, this episode is a fun reminder that how you spend your money should ultimately reflect what you value most: your time, your experiences, your peace, and your happiness.If you enjoyed this episode, make sure and give us a five star rating and leave us a comment on iTunes CONNECT WITH CHRISTINA!InstagramLinkedInChristinalecuyer.comBook a Free Clarity CallBook Christina For Your Next Workshop

We took a lighter look at some of history's most bizarre and brutal medieval torture devices. We talked about what these devices were supposedly used for while also questioning how much of the stories surrounding them are actually true. Thankfully, nobody had to test any of them out because retail already has enough ways to torture you. It was a darkly funny trip through history, proving once again that people have been coming up with questionable ideas for a very, very long time.If you're a member, use the private RSS feed link you received when you signed up for the $2/month membership.

In this week's episode, we catch up on Elena's recent 40-mile adventure on the John Muir Trail and talk about planning big adventure days, managing risk, and taking some of the pressure and perfectionism out of training. We also discuss approaching sport with more curiosity, finding motivation through supporting other athletes, and how to be a great crew member or pacer when a friend is tackling a big goal. Then, we dig into race-day non-negotiables, building a cookie jar of resilience data points from hard experiences, and why the races that don't go according to plan can sometimes become your most valuable mental training. Finally, we talk about recovering and fueling after big training days before wrapping up with this week's challenges and gear picks.

What if healthcare focused less on treating problems after they happen and more on helping you understand and optimize your health before they do?In this episode, Keith Bozeman shares his unexpected journey from a successful career in IT to founding Medgevity, a concierge medical service built around personalized, proactive care. He opens up about how his faith, personal experiences, and passion for health shaped his vision for a different approach to wellness, one rooted in science, prevention, and treating the whole person.Tune in to discover what inspired Keith to rethink traditional healthcare and what personalized wellness can look like when you take a more proactive approach to your health.About Keith BozemanAfter decades of building and scaling an IT Company, Keith became a patient-looking for a more proactive, strategic approach to his health. He had a great doctor and experienced what healthcare could be: a physician who looked at the full picture, focused on prevention, and helped him think long term.But when he moved, that experience disappeared. Instead he found himself navigating the same fragmented system most people face-brief, insurance driven visits, disconnected providers and no clear strategy tying together fineness-nutrition and medicine. That frustration became the insight. Keith realized the problem wasn't a lack of information-it was a lack of integration and science backed guidance.So as a patient first, he built what he couldn't find: a physician-led, multidisciplinary model where experts collaborate around the patient, not in silos. That model became MEDgevity.Connect with Keith on LinkedInLearn more about Keith and MEDgevity on his Website If you enjoyed this episode, make sure and give us a five star rating and leave us a comment on iTunes CONNECT WITH CHRISTINA!InstagramLinkedInChristinalecuyer.comBook a Free Clarity CallBook Christina For Your Next Workshop

What items that you use in retail could make you a suspect in a murder? Cass said it's kind of like the game Clue.What everyday retail items could possibly end up connected to a murder investigation? In this funny and slightly dark episode, we look at box cutters, meat slicers, forklifts, ladders, pallet jacks, shopping carts, and other ordinary retail equipment. We take a lighthearted look at how innocent workplace tools can sound completely different outside their normal retail context. If you work in grocery, retail, deli, bakery, or a warehouse, you'll recognize plenty of these everyday items. It's another hilarious look at the strange, unexpected, and sometimes ridiculous world of retail.If you're a member, use the private RSS feed link you received when you signed up for the $2/month membership.

Uncertainty Is the Only Certainty: Building Resilience with Psychologist Maria Ruberto Two hundred episodes in, and the thread running through nearly all of them is this: the numbers matter, but what's going on in our heads and hearts is what determines whether we thrive or just survive. So for this milestone, I wanted to talk human emotions properly, starting with the one none of us can avoid. Uncertainty is almost the only certainty we've got as farmers. But it isn't a sign that something's wrong with you. It's a normal state your brain moves into when it can't predict what happens next, and once you understand that, you can move through it with a lot more strength. That's exactly what we dig into today with psychologist Maria Ruberto. Maria Ruberto is a psychologist, certified applied Neuropsychotherapist and Founder of Salutegenics. With more than 30 years of experience across education, clinical practice, leadership and workplace wellbeing, Maria delivers science-backed training programs that help individuals, teams and organisations build resilience and strengthen their ability to support the wellbeing of others. Her approach focuses on understanding the powerful connection between biology, psychology and behaviour. In this Learning from Legends episode, we reconnect with Maria, who has previously presented to our FOA alumni and joined us on the podcast before, to unpack a topic every farmer knows intimately: uncertainty, and how we manage our exposure to it. We explore: Why uncertainty is a normal, biological state rather than a personal failing, and what happens in the brain the moment it can't predict what's coming next The truth about stress: why it's not the enemy, how it enables us to perform, and the point where sustained pressure tips into burnout Simple, science-backed ways to reset in under two minutes, including a slow out-breath technique and a head-turn technique that calms the nervous system Why connection with others isn't a nice-to-have but a biological imperative, and how the right people around us create real protection during hard times Five practical strategies for building our tolerance to uncertainty and distress, including agency mapping (what we can control, influence, and must let go of).   To connect with Maria, reach out directly at admin@salutegenics.com.au. Maria, thank you for the generosity of your time and for the clarity you bring to something so many of us feel but rarely have the language for. It was wonderful reflecting on how the mind works under pressure, and even better knowing there are real, practical tools we can put to work on-farm. Until next time, keep being incredible. Hutch & The Farm Owners Academy Team P.S. Scaling well takes energy, and burnout has a way of undoing all of it.

What if some of your biggest adventures are still ahead of you? In this inspiring episode of the Mind Movement Health Podcast, Kate Boyle sits down with adventure runner Nikki Love, whose incredible achievements include running 63 marathons in 63 days, running across Ireland and completing an extraordinary run across Australia from Perth to Sydney. But perhaps the most inspiring part of Nikki's story is that she didn't start taking on these huge adventures until she was 50. Now approaching 60, Nikki is still setting ambitious goals, studying sports and exercise psychology, and challenging the idea that getting older means we should start doing less. In this conversation, Nikki shares what it really takes to achieve something that initially feels impossible—from overcoming fear and self-doubt to building resilience, dealing with setbacks, listening to your body and learning to keep going when things don't go according to plan. We also talk about the reality behind endurance running—the injuries, imperfect training, nutrition, sleep, menopause, recovery and logistics that don't always make it onto social media. Whether your big goal is running a marathon, changing careers, going back to university, starting a business, travelling somewhere new or finally doing something you've been putting off for years, Nikki's message is simple: Back yourself, and don't assume it's too late.  

Cyber threats are becoming increasingly sophisticated, AI enabled and difficult to attribute, creating growing risks for Australia's defence networks, critical infrastructure and broader economy, according to Glenn Maiden, chief security officer and director of threat intelligence for Australia and New Zealand at Fortinet. The cyber threat landscape is increasingly blurring the lines between state-sponsored actors, cyber criminals and issue-motivated groups. For Defence, cyber operations offer adversaries the ability to create significant effects without the geographical constraints, cost or attribution challenges associated with conventional weapons. The challenge for Defence and industry is therefore not simply preventing compromise but building systems that can withstand it. The message for Defence and industry is clear: cyber resilience must become an architectural priority rather than a reactive response. Strong security controls, multifactor authentication, password management, robust back-ups and resilient infrastructure can significantly reduce the impact of an inevitable attack. The next challenge will be understanding the dependencies that connect Australia's economy, critical infrastructure and defence supply chains. Even a small business supplying a seemingly insignificant component could ultimately be critical to a major power plant or defence platform. The cyber threat is real, but it is not insurmountable. With the right people, processes, technology and resilient architecture, Australia can mitigate the risks and ensure that a successful cyber intrusion does not automatically translate into a national crisis.

I sit down with author Michael Easter to explore how modern life's endless comforts and technological conveniences are quietly making us weaker. We discuss how intentionally embracing short-term discomfort, getting out into nature, and finding our personal edge can build deep psychological resilience. Michael breaks down the concept of a "misogi"—a massive annual challenge with a 50-50 chance of success—and shares how stepping out of our comfort zones transforms our perspective on daily stress. We also dive into his personal journey with sobriety, the psychology behind low-friction distractions, and why cultivating intentional solitude is essential today.SHOW HIGHLIGHTS00:00 - Introduction to Michael Easter00:49 - The Problem with Modern Comfort02:56 - How Technology Removes Effort05:07 - Reframing Overwhelm Through Hard Challenges08:59 - Psychological Shifts After a Month in the Arctic13:49 - Becoming a Two-Percenter: Choosing the Stairs19:42 - Sobriety, Discomfort, and Long-Term Gains28:49 - Low-Friction Activities and Slot Machine Architecture34:08 - Building Resilience via Nature, Silence, and Boredom39:44 - Upbringing, Adaptability, and Embracing Your Quirks45:02 - Defining Misogi: The 50-50 Rule50:46 - Moving Toward Your Psychological Edge55:23 - Practical Micro-Habits for Daily Discomfort58:38 - Distinguishing Solitude from Isolation01:06:29 - Closing Thoughts and Resources***Tired of feeling like you're never enough?

What does it actually take to lead AI transformation inside a global industrial enterprise, and do it with both technical rigor and radical humanity?In this episode of B the Way Forward, host Brenda Darden Wilkerson sits down with Ambica Rajagopal, Group Chief Data and AI Officer at Michigan, where she leads enterprise-wide data strategy to optimize manufacturing, services, and industrial operations through advanced analytics and AI. Ambica has built her career transforming large-scale organizations across pharmaceuticals, energy, and manufacturing, and her through-line has never been the technology itself. It has always been the people.In this conversation, Brenda and Ambica dig into what happens when the urgency of AI meets the human cost of change, why empathy is the most underrated technical skill, what a brutal performance review 15 years ago taught Ambica about the difference between expertise and leadership, and why she believes the most courageous thing a woman in tech can do right now is invest in her own resilience.This is a conversation about clarity, transformation, and what it really means to make your path the evidence of the change you believe in.Connect with Ambica on LinkedInWe Learned About:Why empathy, not speed, is the real foundation of successful enterprise AI deploymentThe critical distinction between self-expression and authenticity, and why getting it wrong costs you influence in the roomAmbica's leadership mantra "Clarity wins the day" and what it actually looks like to apply it inside high-stakes, fast-moving organizationsHow a 15-year-old performance review that said "your team doesn't like you much" became one of the most transformative moments of her careerThe difference between being a journey person and a goal person, and why knowing which one you are changes everything about how you leadChapters:0:00 Introduction & Season Theme1:00 Meet Ambica Rajagopal, Group Chief Data and AI Officer2:30 Why Empathy Is the Only Way to Get AI Transformation Right5:30 Empathy as Active Common Ground, Not Passive Sympathy7:00 What Has Remained Constant Across Industries: Clarity and People10:00 How Ambica Stays Grounded When Performance Metrics Are Always On11:00 Meditation, Mental Space, and the "Room of One's Own" Framework13:30 Has Leading with Balance Ever Cost You Anything?15:00 The Shift from Showing Up as an Expert to Showing Up as a Leader17:30 Journey Person vs. Goal Person: How Ambica Defines Her Own Motivation19:30 When Personal Transformation Gets Tested the Most20:30 The Performance Review That Changed Everything23:00 Vulnerability in Leadership and Why It Takes More Courage Than Being Right24:30 Authenticity vs. Self-Expression: A Framework Worth Knowing27:00 Who Is Most at Risk of Burnout in the AI Era30:00 Advice for Early-Career Women in Data Science Who Are Already Exhausted32:00 Building Resilience and Finding Your Sources of Courage33:30 What Integrity in Leadership Actually Looks Like34:30 "Make Your Path the Evidence of the Change You Believe In"36:00 Closing Thoughts: People Always Come Before the Technology#BTheWayForward #WomenInAI #AITransformation #EmpathyInLeadership #WomenInTech #DataAndAI #TechLeadership #CourageToTransform

What if you're doing all the “healthy” things… eating well, exercising, taking your supplements, and still not actually supporting your health? In this deeply personal episode of the Mind Movement Health Podcast, Kate Boyle shares the wake-up call that changed the way she thinks about health. Following the loss of her brother and navigating her mum's health struggles, Kate found herself moving through grief, stress and an increasingly busy life while still ticking many of the traditional “healthy” boxes. But eventually, she realised something important: Doing healthy things and actually being healthy aren't always the same thing. True health isn't simply about what you eat or how often you exercise. It's also about how well you recover, the health of your nervous system, the relationships you nurture, the stress you're carrying and whether there's still room in your life for rest, connection, fun and joy. In this episode, Kate explores how grief and chronic stress can affect our physical and emotional wellbeing, why nervous system health matters, and what it really means to build resilience during difficult seasons of life. If you've ever felt like you're doing everything you're “supposed” to do for your health but still feel exhausted, overwhelmed or disconnected from yourself, this episode is an invitation to look at health through a much wider lens.

Navigating this elevates the question of vendor concentration, which can be an asset or liability depending on the rules in place.

Wherever you're listening to this right now you're probably feeling the changes this summer in a big way. It's not only us here in the Mediterranean region of Europe who are experiencing record heat waves, droughts, and wildfires. I've been watching news reports from all over the world and the other day my Mom in Spokane Washington even told me that fires had nearly reached their home. I have no desire to go into the doom and gloom of climate reality, but we also can't ignore two very important things. The first being that massive action needs to be taken to restore the damaged ecosystems of the world, and two, governments and industries just aren't going to act fast enough. It falls to all of us to inform ourselves and get to work. This episode today is meant to help you do just that. Today I spoke with Lorenzo Costa who has been on the show a couple times already, but now that I'm in Italy and have been observing the effects of this severe summer weather, I knew I had to get in touch with him again and get his perspective as someone who travels the country working with growers of all types to restore the hydrological function and cycling of their land to build resilience in their operations. While it's worth going back to his previous episodes where he talks about his own vegetable operation in the Chianti region of Tuscany, as well as the water projects he was doing a few years ago, in this episode we get an update on the patterns and learnings from all the new projects he's seen and worked on recently.  Now that we've covered a lot about the concepts and theory behind watercycles and how they interact and are affected by landscape management, as well as how my colleague Nick Steiner and I assess and read a landscape ahead of a project, we're going to be focusing increasingly on practical restoration options and case studies from innovative farmers and restoration workers from around Europe. So let's jump right into this exploration of the current challenges and potential in Italy from Lorenzo

What do Jeff Bezos, Rachel McAdams, Pink, James Franco, and other famous names have in common?Before they became household names, they were just people clocking in and going to work. Some worked in fast food, restaurants, and customer service.Some might forget that the person working the register today might be an entrepreneur tomorrow. The person taking your order might become a movie star. The person stocking shelves, serving customers, or flipping burgers might one day be standing on a stage in front of thousands of people.Those first jobs teach us things that don't always show up on a résumé: how to deal with difficult customers, how to show up when you're tired, how to work with people, how to solve problems, how to handle pressure, and how to keep going when the shift feels like it's never going to end.And somehow we start talking about musicals!

What really changes when you go from $1 million to $100 million? Surprisingly, not much. In this episode, Christina explores why bigger businesses don't necessarily mean fewer problems, more freedom, or greater peace. From payroll and hiring to leadership loneliness and personal pressure, CEOs face many of the same challenges, just at a larger scale. The real difference? Knowing how to make clear, decisive decisions under pressure and keep moving forward.

Elanie Ademokun, Programmes Director at Jigsaw Education Group, joins Mark Taylor to unpack one of the most pressing issues facing schools right now: the rise of the "manosphere" and its impact on misogyny, safeguarding, and school culture.Drawing on over 20 years in education — including 11 years teaching English and PSHE in secondary schools, teacher training with Teach First, and safeguarding work with Frontline — Elanie shares what she's hearing directly from schools: shifting attitudes among boys towards female teachers, misogynistic language creeping into corridors, and growing concern from primary schools too, not just secondary.Mark and Elanie explore why this is happening so fast, how algorithms and online "lifestyle coach" influencers exploit adolescent needs for belonging and self-esteem, and why a whole-school, framework-led approach — rather than a reactive one — is essential. They discuss the balance between universal preventative education and targeted, safeguarding-led intervention, why shame and punishment backfire, and how every child needs at least one trusted adult in their corner.This is a thoughtful, practical conversation for teachers, school leaders, and parents navigating a fast-moving cultural issue with real consequences for children's wellbeing.Takeaways:Elanie Ademokun emphasizes the significance of a whole school approach in addressing sensitive topics within the curriculum, particularly in the realms of personal, social, health education, and religious education.The pervasive influence of social media has dramatically shaped the behaviour and perceptions of students, necessitating a proactive response from educators to mitigate its adverse effects.It is vital to create a supportive environment where students feel comfortable discussing their experiences and questions regarding complex societal issues like misogyny and digital misinformation.Educators are encouraged to focus on building resilience and critical thinking skills in students, ensuring they are prepared to navigate the challenges posed by contemporary online influences.The importance of fostering strong relationships and communication between teachers and students is highlighted as essential for addressing the nuances of modern educational challenges.Awareness and proactive discussions around sensitive issues must begin early in a child's education to establish a foundation for healthy relationships and self-esteem.Chapters:00:02 - Introducing Elanie Adamokun01:12 - Understanding the Manosphere's Impact on School Culture19:03 - The Importance of Early Awareness and Mentoring in Youth Development23:20 - Navigating Conversations with Children about Social Media33:46 - Building Resilience and Empowerment in Educationhttps://jigsaweducationgroup.com/www.facebook.com/jigsaweducationgroup
