The best careers rarely follow a straight line. They evolve through curiosity, calculated risks, unexpected opportunities, and the courage to keep moving forward, even when the destination isn't clear.In this episode of the 2B Bolder Podcast, host Mary Killelea sits down with Tracey Miller, co-owner and Managing Partner of 9iFX, an award-winning creative visual studio that helps some of the world's most recognizable brands tell unforgettable stories through visual effects, animation, immersive experiences, and cinematic storytelling.But this conversation isn't just about visual effects—it's about building a career with intention, embracing uncertainty, and creating opportunities instead of waiting for them.Tracey shares the unconventional path that led her from backpacking through South America at 18 to graduating into the 2008 financial crisis, launching an entrepreneurial venture, earning a Fulbright Scholarship to complete her MBA in Madrid—in Spanish—and ultimately co-founding 9iFX with her husband. Her journey is a powerful reminder that resilience, adaptability, and a willingness to take thoughtful risks often lead to the most rewarding careers.Mary and Tracey also explore what it really takes to grow a creative business—from balancing entrepreneurship with marriage and leadership to hiring employees, building client relationships, and navigating the realities of running a studio in an industry that's constantly evolving.The conversation also dives into one of today's biggest topics: AI and the future of creativity. Tracey shares her perspective on how artificial intelligence is changing visual storytelling, where it creates new opportunities, and why human creativity, taste, collaboration, and craftsmanship remain essential. Together, they discuss the growing importance of originality, copyright, client trust, and creating work that genuinely connects with people.Whether you're building your career, considering entrepreneurship, leading a creative team, or wondering how AI will reshape the future of work, this episode offers practical insights and inspiration for embracing change with confidence.In this episode, you'll discover: Why the most fulfilling careers are rarely linear  How curiosity and calculated risk create unexpected opportunities  What it really takes to build a successful creative business  Lessons from partnering with your spouse while growing a company  Why the best visual effects are often the ones you never notice  How great storytelling creates emotional connection  The opportunities—and challenges—AI is bringing to creative industries  Why human judgment, creativity, and craftsmanship still matter  Advice for women considering entrepreneurship or their next bold career move  What it means to build a career you couldn't have predicted, but wouldn't trade for anything If you've ever questioned whether you're on the "right" career path, this conversation is a reminder that some of the best opportunities come from following your curiosity, saying yes to the unknown, and trusting yourself to figure it out along the way.

In this solo episode, Travis Chappell explores one of the most common themes to emerge from nearly 2,000 podcast episodes: identity. Drawing on conversations with entrepreneurs, athletes, and high performers—including Bonnie Schutz, John Salley, Brendan Schaub, and Tanner Chidester—Travis explains why the people who successfully reinvent themselves don't define themselves by a single job title. Instead, they build an identity rooted in their values, allowing them to embrace change, pursue purpose, and confidently step into new opportunities. On this episode we talk about: Why tying your identity to your career can keep you stuck Lessons from entrepreneurs and athletes who successfully reinvented themselves How purpose-driven career changes lead to greater fulfillment and well-being Why being good at something doesn't mean you have to do it forever Practical ways to separate who you are from what you do Top 3 Takeaways Your career is something you do—not who you are. Building your identity around your values instead of your job title makes it easier to adapt and grow. Reinvention requires letting go of certainty. The most fulfilling opportunities often come after you're willing to leave a familiar identity behind. Long-term fulfillment comes from pursuing meaningful work, not simply achieving external goals or financial milestones. Notable Quotes "This is what I want to do. This is not who I am, but who I am makes me better at what I do." "Just because you're good at something doesn't mean you have to do it." "Don't let your current sense of identity become the anchor that keeps you in a life that no longer serves you."

In the Lindsay Clancy murder trial, the prosecution wants the jury to know what she did for a living — and to draw a very specific conclusion from it.She was a labor and delivery nurse. The Commonwealth's argument is that a woman with that training knew how the mental health system evaluates a patient, knew what to report, and knew how to shape what people saw. Kevin Reddington's answer is that she was the one patient in the entire chain who could name what was happening to her, and every institution she named it to still sent her home.This is the complete three-part conversation between Tony Brueski and criminal defense trial attorney Bob Motta.The opening segment works through the prosecution file — the text about not feeling like cooking, the dinner order, the errand that put her husband on the road for roughly fifty minutes, and a note prosecutors say she typed about her older children months before. The middle segment takes on the defense, including a ruling that keeps women who have survived postpartum psychosis out of the witness box, the medication history her lawyer describes as roughly thirteen prescriptions in about four months, and the nineteen days between a psychiatric discharge and three deaths. The final segment asks what any verdict here is supposed to accomplish, given that one path leads to a state hospital and the other to mandatory life without parole.There is also Patrick Clancy, who buried three children, asked the public to forgive his wife, is suing her doctors, and is going to testify.Cora, Dawson, and Callan were five, three, and eight months old. Everything in that courtroom is being argued through their mother.END LINKSJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Jerry & Rami: Career ambitions beyond The Boomer & Gio Show -- plus warmup

Jerry & Rami: Career ambitions beyond The Boomer & Gio Show

Hey friends, Chase here. Every summer, I revisit conversations from the archive that have stood the test of time. Not because I'm nostalgic, but because the best ideas don't expire. They deepen. This is another installment of Summer School—episodes I return to when I'm stuck. When a pattern I've been conditioned to see suddenly needs to be broken, I go back to the people who help me think differently. This one with Ben Uyeda is near the top of that list. Ben is a designer, entrepreneur, and creative force of nature who left a successful architecture firm and an Ivy League teaching gig to bring high-design ideas to the masses through media. His designs—widely shared, often free—have reached tens of millions of people and are being built around the world. And his most recent project? A 65-room hotel on 180 acres in the California desert, adjacent to Joshua Tree National Park, built with a team but rooted in the same hands-on curiosity that started with a concrete vase on YouTube. When this episode first aired, I called it one of the most shocking conversations of the year—not because Ben tried to shock anyone, but because I didn't expect it to blow me away. It did. It still does. His superpower is orthogonal thinking. Where most of us see the world through the patterns we've been trained into, Ben keeps asking the next question—about scale, purpose, risk, money, mastery, and what creatives actually want when they say they want "more." This conversation changed how I think about career growth. I think it can change yours too. "Forget scaling. What I think is really intriguing is this idea of escalation." — Ben Uyeda Summer School: Ben Uyeda on Escalation, Purpose, and Building Bigger Without Losing Yourself Ask Ben how he describes what he does, and he keeps it almost stubbornly simple: he designs things and he makes them. Those things range from a small concrete vase to a dining table to homes—and all the way up to Reset Hotel: 65 rooms on 180 acres near Joshua Tree. The leap sounds impossible until you understand his model. Most creatives, Ben argues, get trapped in a false choice. Either you're the solo maker—writing the book, building the table, running the photo shoot—or you're the manager of something massive, taking in everyone's opinions and slowly losing contact with the craft. He thinks the more interesting path sits between them: escalate. Scaling is repeating one thing at higher volume for better margins. Escalation is using each project as practice for a bigger adventure—vase to furniture to staircase to house to hotel—with new skills, collaborators, and risk at every step. There is no clean line from designing a vase to building a hotel. But there are incremental steps. In Ben's case, roughly five years from vase to house. Another five from house to hotel. Each jump maybe 50x to 100x in scale. The next project isn't the destination. It's skill-building—and an opportunity to meet the people you'll need when the economic risk gets larger. That distinction is the heart of this episode. And if you've ever chased "scale" when what you really wanted was growth, challenge, grit, relationships, and a life that still feels like yours, this one will hit hard. What You'll Hear in This Episode How Ben describes his work—from concrete vases to a desert hotel, and why he focuses on the doing Why small creative projects feel like Zen practice—and why bigger ones require learning to pass the ball The tension every creator knows: curiosity and economic safety often feel like they're pulling in opposite directions Scaling vs. escalating—and why most creatives think they want scale when they actually want challenge, skill, and connection The paperclip-to-house Craigslist story as a model for adventurous creative careers Why nature is becoming a luxury good—and how that thesis shaped Reset Hotel Ben's multi-year process for building a point of view: observations, post-its, journaling, and knowing when you're secure enough to ask bigger questions How to borrow pattern recognition from outside your field (Ben's favorite: food) What AI changes—and what it doesn't: reputation, responsibility, and embracing creative fear instead of waiting until you feel safe The story of Reset Hotel, Industry Night for creatives, and why physical immersion may be the next horizon Scale vs. Escalate This is the idea I keep coming back to—and the one that originally made this episode unforgettable. Typical entrepreneurial advice says: find a minimum viable product, then scale. For creatives, Ben says, that model often fails. Scaling optimizes for volume, repetition, and efficiency. Escalation optimizes for adventure: trade the paperclip for the lighter, the lighter for something bigger, and keep going—not by doing the same trade forever, but by graduating the game. Chase's own lived experience lines up with Ben's: escalation built the best things in his life—relationships, skills, grit, humanity. Scaling often decoupled him from those same things. That's the trap. People hear "economic upside" and chase repetition. What many of them actually want is escalating challenge—backstory, resources, personal development, network, connection—the exact texture of a project like building a hotel with your hands, your partners, and your reputation on the line. Ben didn't know this as sage wisdom going in. He learned it. Early ambition and big swings "worked," but felt like speedrunning a video game—fast completion with a strange emptiness afterward. Over time he learned something more useful about himself: his long-range visionary chess game is limited, but his commitment and belief once he chooses a path are incredibly strong. That self-knowledge became the architecture for taking on Reset. Nature as Luxury—and How a Hotel Got Built from a Thesis Ben's confidence in the hotel didn't come from a weekend of inspiration. It came from years of noticing. One signal: between roughly 2013 and 2016, monthly active users on Instagram and visits to national parks both exploded. The attention economy was booming—and simultaneously creating unprecedented demand for its opposite: walking through Yosemite or Joshua Tree, somewhere with little or no cell service. His larger thesis: as digital consumption becomes frictionless, we start craving the analog. The more algorithmically efficient our feeds get, the more we want to throw the phone aside, touch grass, hike, watch a real sunset. Because digital experiences got so good at being artificial, nature itself starts to feel like a scarce luxury—not just a pretty view from a coastal city, but immersive emptiness, dark skies, raw land. That thesis, plus an audience built by sharing design ideas, plus collaborators from craftspeople to investors, plus a shipping-container house project that opened new conversations—those pieces compounded into Reset. Ben is blunt that this kind of vision doesn't arrive as effortless brilliance. It's multi-year. Curious. Plodding. Built from obvious observations written on post-it notes until they start to arrange themselves into a next move. His practical advice for creatives trying to think at that altitude: Don't pour all your curiosity into tools and tactics alone. Also ask the scarier questions: What's my place in this discipline? What's my place in the broader economy? Earn enough security to think. For Ben, around $100k of income was the point where economic stress dropped enough for bigger questions to enter the process—not as luxury branding, but as creative fuel. Look outside your industry. Food is his favorite lens because he has emotional distance plus deep daily connection. Farm-to-table, farmers markets becoming aspirational, celebrities posting chickens instead of Bugattis—he's watching a backlash against efficiency and mass production. Then he asks: what's the design-and-craft version of that for me? Talk it out with peers. The work is often solo. The therapy and pattern recognition are better in community—ideally in person, without a competitive chip on your shoulder. Timecodes So You Can Jump Around 00:00 – Welcome and why this episode is part of Summer School 03:55 – Ben Uyeda joins the show 05:12 – How Ben describes what he does: design things, make them, from vase to hotel 07:33 – Are you bananas? Risk, scale, and building a hotel with your bare hands 12:51 – Forget scaling: why escalation is the more interesting creative model 14:12 – From YouTube vase to 65-room hotel—and the skill (and people) built along the way 16:27 – Chase on the difference between escalating challenge and chasing scale 18:42 – Did Ben know this going in—or learn it the hard way? 21:09 – Instagram growth, national parks, and the demand for the analog 24:24 – Why nature is becoming a luxury good 27:31 – How to build a creative thesis over years (not a weekend) 39:27 – Cheat codes: borrow pattern recognition from food (and other industries) 49:00 – AI fear, reputation, responsibility, and what still can't be automated 57:30 – Reset Hotel: dark skies, building the right way, and the first new ground-up hotel in the area in 15 years 01:07:36 – Where to follow the project—and Industry Night for creatives Why This Conversation Still Matters If anything, this episode is more urgent now than when we first recorded it. The creator economy still rewards the idea that the goal is to make one thing and multiply it forever. Platforms still optimize for volume. AI is accelerating that pressure—making certain end products cheaper and more abundant, and making a lot of talented people scared. Ben's counsel isn't "don't worry." It's the opposite. Be scared. Talk to friends. Diversify your thinking. Double down on reputation and responsibility—being the person clients call because you fix problems, even when the brief is imperfect. Accept that fear doesn't vanish when you "make it." Often it gets worse, because you feel like you have more to lose. And that's the trap: postponing the wild, scary, purpose-shaped adventure until you feel safe. Safety delayed often becomes safety that never lets you move. Meanwhile, the deeper trend he named—digital ubiquity creating hunger for physical, immersive, scarce experiences—keeps compounding. Reset Hotel is that thesis made concrete. Industry Night—his informal peer-to-peer gathering for creatives—is another version of the same idea: horizontal connection in a culture that keeps selling top-down scale. Whether you escalate toward something as large as a hotel or simply toward a braver version of your next project, the question remains the same: are you chasing repetition, or are you chasing a life? Keep Going Deeper If this conversation resonates: Reset Hotel: stayreset.com · @reset.hotel Ben online: benuyeda.com · Instagram · HomeMade Modern on YouTube Earlier conversation: Escalate & Evolve: A Blueprint for Career and Life with Ben Uyeda Follow Ben: Instagram | Website | YouTube Questions to Reflect On Am I optimizing for scale (repeat one thing) or escalation (grow into bigger adventures)? What would my "next size up" project be—not 100x overnight, but one honest step beyond what I've already made? Where am I chasing economic certainty in a way that quietly starves my curiosity? What obvious cultural observation have I been noticing—and what would it mean if I took it seriously for my own work? Am I pouring all my curiosity into tools and tactics while avoiding the harder questions about my place in the economy? Where am I postponing a meaningful risk until I "feel safe"—and what might that delay really cost? In an age of AI and infinite digital content, what physical, scarce, or immersive experience could only come from me? The Core Idea Most creatives don't actually want to become a machine that repeats the same win forever. They want a life that escalates: bigger challenges, deeper skills, richer relationships, and work that still feels like craft even when the coordination gets complex. Ben's path—from free design ideas online to a modernist hotel on the edge of Joshua Tree—isn't a prescription to go build hospitality. It's a reminder that purpose compounds through projects. Each one prepares you for the next. Each one brings in the people you'll need later. And the goal isn't to arrive as fast as possible. It's to grow into someone who can hold more risk without abandoning who they are. If there's one lesson worth carrying forward from this Summer School session, it's this: Don't confuse scaling with growing. The creative life you're probably hungry for is escalation—one braver project at a time.

Lisa Kudrow (Friends, The Comeback) reveals some of the most astonishing stories and ideas she's ever shared publicly, from mysterious messages received after her mother's passing to profound spiritual experiences that challenged her understanding of reality itself.Lisa opens up about supernatural events surrounding her mom's death, the unexplained text messages she received from beyond, and her family's experiences with an energy worker, including a remarkable moment when her son seemingly communicated that he was okay. She also shares why she was captivated by The Telepathy Tapes and why she believes "there's something going on" beyond our current scientific understanding.She explores what she learned about the nature of reality through playing "Phoebe Buffay", whether childhood imaginary friends might not be imaginary after all, and her thought-provoking perspective on why we're here, and why perhaps we're not meant to fully understand the spiritual side of existence.Lisa also discusses concrete examples of how spirituality can provide guidance when modern science falls short, the role of intuition and her inner voice in shaping her life's biggest decisions, and her mind-bending theories about possible causes of dementia and Alzheimer's disease.The conversation dives deep into creativity, consciousness, and human connection as Lisa explains why acting is ultimately an exercise in empathy, whether great actors may actually be channeling real people, and how portraying "Phoebe" transformed the way she thinks about life, consciousness, and the unseen world around us.Lisa also reflects on recently watching Friends episodes for the first time, revealing how her perspective on "Phoebe" has changed over the years, and shares the invaluable lessons her co-stars taught her about openness, playfulness, and unlocking creativity as an actor.She discusses why she chose acting over medical school, how those career-defining decisions unfolded, and what her intuition continues to tell her about future entertainment projects.Plus, Lisa breaks down why she loves Mayim Bialik's Breakdown and The Big Bang Theory series, and explains why specific episodes resonated with her so deeply, including conversations with Thomas Campbell, Anita Moorjani, Dr. James B. Glattfelder, Dr. Ellen Langer, Dr. Kevin Knuth, and Dr. Tara Swart.Enjoy Lisa's deeply personal exploration of the mysteries that exist at the edges of science, spirituality, creativity, and human experience, as she reflects on life's biggest questions—from consciousness and intuition to grief, purpose, and the possibility of something beyond what we can currently explain!Follow us on Substack for Exclusive Bonus Content: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://bialikbreakdown.substack.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠BialikBreakdown.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube.com/mayimbialik⁠⁠⁠If you're struggling with OCD or unrelenting intrusive thoughts, NOCD can help.

Welcome to our first-ever solo episode with host Amanda Goetz! With an impressive career trajectory that spans roles at big corporations, startups, and as an author, Amanda offers invaluable insights into navigating the professional world in this big-sister-style coffee chat. She pulls from her own career path (Ernst & Young → celebrity wedding planner → startup founder → The Knot → CMO at Reale Actives) to give you real, tactical advice on annual reviews, one-on-ones, burnout, job searching, and more.  Consider this your permission slip to stop white-knuckling your career on your own.  Got a question for a future episode? Send it to @girlboss or @theamandagoetz on Instagram. 00:00 Intro 01:43 Amanda's career journey 03:46 What she'd tell herself during the hardest year of her life 04:40 Her go-to career book recommendation 05:12 How to make the most of one-on-ones with your manager 06:56 Balancing your own opinions with your team's ideas as a leader 10:04 Returning to work after a year-long maternity leave 11:22 How to prepare for your annual review 14:56 Redesigning your career mid-life 17:38 How to know when it's time to leave a job 20:25 Falling back in love with your work 22:51 How to work with someone you don't get along with 24:37 Staying organized (and sane) as a business owner 26:41 Staying motivated during a tough job search 27:36 Managing email and outreach anxiety 28:56 Getting your manager to notice how much you're doing 30:00 Balancing all the hats marketers have to wear 31:31 Outro Key Takeaways Use the "start, stop, continue" framework in every one-on-one—it turns feedback into something structured, not confrontational. Build a weekly "operating rhythm," so your team always knows when to bring you ideas. Send a "managing up Monday" email each week: top wins, focus areas, and shout-outs. Visibility trumps ability. Before an annual review, translate your work into business terms your boss can repeat to their boss. Career changes don't need to be justified in hindsight—just take the next step with the best info you have. Confront conflict directly instead of triangulating through other people. "Focus and finish": pick two priorities a day instead of running an endless to-do list. Networking should start long before you need it—keep a running list of contacts and stay in touchGUEST LINKS Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theamandagoetz/ Book: https://bookshop.org/a/116169/9781464233258  https://www.amandagoetz.com/  FOLLOW THE PODCAST IG: https://www.instagram.com/girlboss/  TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@girlboss  Amanda Goetz: https://www.instagram.com/theamandagoetz/  https://girlboss.com/pages/ambition-2-0-podcast  SIGN UP  Subscribe to the Girlboss Daily newsletter: https://newsletter.girlboss.com/   For all other Girlboss links: https://linkin.bio/girlboss/  ABOUT AMBITION 2.0  Powered by Girlboss, Ambition 2.0 is a podcast where we'll be exploring what it really means to "have it all" in work, family, identity, and self… and if it's actually worth it.

Most people never choose a career in commercial real estate because they never realize it is an option.They do not grow up around brokers, developers, investors, or property managers. They do not know the language, the career paths, or the people who can open the first door.Daynon Kirby is working to change that.In this episode of Commercially Speaking, Daynon returns to introduce the Black Foundation, a commercial real estate-focused private foundation built around access, education, investment, and attainable housing.The organization helps minorities, veterans, students, and aspiring professionals discover the many career paths available throughout commercial real estate while creating practical pathways into the industry.Daynon also explains why the foundation is building its own investment arm rather than depending entirely on donations. Its model combines people and profits, using commercial real estate, private equity, and other investments to create a mission that can sustain and expand itself.We also get extremely practical about what someone should do when they want to enter commercial real estate but have no family connections or industry experience.In this conversation:How to break into commercial real estate with no connections• Why CRE offers far more careers than brokerage• How to identify the strongest firms in your local market• What young professionals can offer a brokerage immediately• How AI can help you research firms and create real value• Why joining a collaborative team may be better than starting alone• How to approach experienced professionals without asking to “pick their brain”• The power of CCIM education, scholarships, and relationships• How veterans can transition into commercial real estate• Why attainable housing is a central part of the Black Foundation's mission• How the foundation combines philanthropy with investments• Why a hand up can create more lasting change than a handoutThis episode is for students, veterans, career changers, young professionals, and anyone who senses that commercial real estate could change their future but has no idea where to begin.Learn more about Daynon and the Black Foundation:The Black Foundation: theblackfoundationinc.comLinkedIn: Search “The Black Foundation” and Daynon KirbyCCIM resources and education: ccim.comFind a local CCIM professional: findaccim.comThanks To Our Sponsors

THE (MAGAZINE) DOCTOR IS IN — Megan Schertler wants to help you make magazines. Yes, you … and you … and you too. But she also wants to ensure that once you make a magazine, you make another one. And then one after that. She wants to make sure that you know it's not easy to create a magazine or to run one or to publish a second one or to sustain a magazine or media brand or to run a business. Megan is big on print. She's one of those extremely rare people who's held down numerous magazine jobs while never working on the digital side of things. Yes, really. People like her exist. So she knows more than many her age that print is more engaging, produces more loyalty, and creates a deeper and more meaningful connection with the message on the page than any other medium. And so with her partners, Megan now helms In Real Life Media to help would-be magazine makers sure, but also some of the world's largest brands navigate the realities of the magazine world. Because while we all love print here, it's hard, it's expensive, and it is, quite frankly, a pain in the ass. But it also results in something glorious, and Megan travels the world speaking at conferences and to people like me to spread the word.. — This episode is made possible by our friends at Freeport Press.

Today's guest spends her days looking at women in various states of undress, and somehow, the whole thing is a lot less sexual than you'd think. Meet Nomi, a boudoir photographer who splits her time between a jungle studio in rural Jamaica and a loft space in Brooklyn. For the past decade, she's been helping women feel at home in their bodies, one photo session at a time. On the surface, this is a conversation about a unique profession involving lingerie, nudity, and how to pose for a sexy photo. But underneath it, it's a conversation about womanhood, body image, and healing. Nomi shares how recovering from the eating disorder she developed at 16 shaped the philosophy behind her work. She talks candidly about why so many clients apologize for their stomachs, why boudoir sessions can unexpectedly bring sexual trauma to the surface, and why she believes the industry is quietly becoming a form of art therapy. We also dive into the business side that most people never consider: why she prices her sessions the way she does, what it's like to run every part of her business as a one-woman show, and how she built a career that's as emotionally demanding as it is creatively fulfilling. Along the way, she shares the unexpected story of how she met her husband in a Facebook group for Jewish singles before ending up on a farm in Trelawny, Jamaica. Listen for the moment she compares a boudoir session to a trip to the gynecologist. It's an analogy that completely reframes what professional comfort with nudity actually looks like—and it may change the way you think about the vulnerability of it altogether.

AI can make your work faster, cleaner, and more impressive. But can it also create an illusion of competence—improving the output while the judgment, expertise, and original thinking underneath it stop developing?In this special episode of The Good Leadership Podcast, Charles Good speaks with bestselling author and globally recognized business thinker Dorie Clark about what it takes to win the long game in an AI-driven world.Dorie explains why the abundance of information is making human attention increasingly scarce and why leaders must differentiate through clarity, a distinctive perspective, and ideas grounded in real experience. She also discusses the lasting value of trusted relationships, reciprocity, personal branding, visibility, and becoming known for something meaningful.The conversation explores why many capable leaders are working harder while feeling less confident about their futures, how short-term wins can conceal long-term capability erosion, and why AI-generated polish should never be confused with genuine expertise.Dorie also shares practical guidance for:Using AI as a thinking partner rather than a thinking substituteDeveloping judgment through deliberate practice and reflectionInvesting AI-created time in skills, relationships, and strategic assetsBuilding a visible platform and recognizable point of viewKnowing when to persist and when to repositionTaking small actions that compound over five or ten yearsThe episode also examines the potential for AI to transform healthcare and human longevity—and why the biggest opportunities may emerge when technological innovation is paired with distinctly human judgment and relationships.Dorie Clark teaches executive education at Columbia Business School and is the bestselling author of The Long Game, Reinventing You, Stand Out, and Entrepreneurial You. She has been named four times to the Thinkers50 list of the world's leading business thinkers.

Most of us approach a long break from work with some anxiety. Whether it's a layoff, parental leave, or a season of caregiving, there's tension around if and when we'll return to work and how we'll explain the gap on our résumé. DJ DiDonna, senior lecturer at Harvard Business School and author of the new book Big Time Off, wants to change that. This week, he joins Jessi to make the case that stepping away from routine work — for whatever reason, for however long — is one of the most strategic things you can do for your career and your life.  Jessi and DJ discuss: What a sabbatical actually is, and why two-thirds of them happen because of a negative catalyst, not a choice Why immediately job-searching after a layoff is like grocery shopping while hungry The difference between a vacation, a corporate "sabbatical," and the real thing, and why it takes six to eight weeks just to feel like yourself again What DJ calls "fertile emptiness," and why most of us never let ourselves get there How to use a sabbatical to run experiments on possible future versions of yourself The story of a CTO who went to Norway, built a text-to-speech app, and redesigned his entire relationship with work and money Why functional workaholism is the thing most of us are living with What AI has to do with the case for stepping back, and why learning from a place of fear versus curiosity makes all the difference How Jessi's own three-month hiatus from the workplace, during which she wrote a book and raised a newborn, turned out to be a sabbatical she didn't know she was taking How to start planning for a sabbatical five years from now, even if taking one today feels impossible Follow DJ DiDonna and Jessi Hempel on LinkedIn.

What does 42 actually look like? According to Carla and Dex... it's acupuncture appointments, spending way too much money on skincare, arguing about hot dogs for ten minutes, refusing to go anywhere that starts after 8 PM, and finally realizing that peace is worth protecting. This birthday episode starts with laughs but quickly turns into one of those conversations that sneaks up on you. The hosts talk about aging, health, dating, friendships, boundaries, money, career decisions, and the freedom that comes from finally knowing who you are. They compare what excited them in their twenties versus what brings them joy now, debate whether dating gets easier or harder with age, and imagine what they hope life looks like forty years from now. It's funny. It's honest. And it's the kind of conversation that reminds you getting older doesn't mean becoming less you just become more yourself. In This Episode Why getting older feels more freeing than scary The wellness habits they're actually investing in now The surprising things that become exciting in your late 30s and 40s Dating standards that change with age Why boundaries get easier the older you get Spending money on health vs. spending money on everything else Career advice they wish they had followed sooner The future they're intentionally building—not just hoping for What peace looks like in this season of life Plenty of laughs about birthdays, hot dogs, Botox, and why nobody wants plans that start after 8 PM Memorable Moments The birthday conversation that turns into a reflection on aging. A hilarious debate over the "right" way to eat a hot dog. Why morning routines have become sacred. The reality of dating when you actually know what you want. Imagining life 40 years from now—and what really matters by then.     CONNECT WITH US ON SOCIAL MEDIA: CARLA WILMARIS | DEX

Anika sat down with Deanna Dolecki and Ashley Ruggeri to explore how they built a thriving, 100% virtual boutique agency by leaning into radical authenticity. The conversation revealed how their Gen X and Millennial dynamic fuels their strategy, why hiring for intangibles matters more than a resume, and how they cut through the digital noise with unscripted banter on their podcast, Ducks Unplugged.In This EpisodeThe origin story of Blue Duck Agency and how a "no-meeting Wednesday" led to a radical rebrandWhy Deanna hires for "intangibles" and how asking about high school grades reveals a candidate's true characterAshley's transition from buttoned-up banking to thriving in the "gray area" of agency lifeLaunching the Ducks Unplugged podcast as a business strategy and creative testing groundHow Gen X and Millennial perspectives complement each other in leadership and marketing strategyThe truth about hustle culture and how different generations brand their work ethicWhy generative AI (like Deanna's ChatGPT, "Janice") is a tool, not a replacement for human creativityBrainstorming on the fly: Pushing boundaries with brands like Netflix and TupperwareTimestamps00:00 Introduction: Building businesses around radical authenticity 01:42 The origins of Blue Duck Agency and diverse career paths 05:24 Hiring for the "gray area" and the importance of intangibles 10:10 Launching the Ducks Unplugged podcast to differentiate the agency 18:48 The Gen X and Millennial dynamic: Bridging the generational gap 23:24 The Blue Duck rebrand: Standing out in a sea of yellow ducks 26:51 The "hustle culture" rebrand and generational work ethics 36:31 Balancing radical honesty with professional boundaries and real-time feedback41:25 Generative AI in marketing: Why human creativity still wins 45:36 Pitching Netflix a "binge pass" and other pop-culture brand moments 50:48 Favorite quotes and life mantrasKey Insights & TakeawaysInsight 1: Authenticity is a Differentiator In a crowded agency landscape where everyone offers similar services, clients buy the people. Creating unscripted, imperfect content like Ducks Unplugged lets prospects experience the team's chemistry, humor, and problem-solving skills before they ever book a discovery call. Perfect polish is out; relatable authenticity is in.Insight 2: Hire for Intangibles Over Resumes Resumes get you in the door, but character keeps you in the room. By asking candidates to talk through their intentions and past choices—even going back to high school—you learn how they navigate challenges, communicate, and fit into a remote, tight-knit culture.Insight 3: Generational Differences Are a Strategic Asset The contrast between Gen X (Deanna) and Millennial (Ashley) perspectives creates richer marketing strategies. Instead of clashing, these diverse viewpoints—from how they view hustle culture to how they consume media—ensure that campaigns resonate across different age demographics.Insight 4: AI is a Tool, Not a Strategy While generative AI is great for efficiency and thought starters, it cannot replace human experience. Relying too heavily on AI leads to homogenized marketing where everyone sounds the same. The human element, drawn from real-world experience and cultural nuance, is what makes campaigns actually convert.Insight 5: Embrace the "Gray Area" Having team members who thrive in the gray—testing, trying, and innovating without a guaranteed outcome—is crucial for an agency's evolution. Not every podcast segment or marketing test will work (like a blind dating show for marketing channels), but giving your team the freedom to test is how you find the strategies that stick.Resources & Links MentionedBlue Duck AgencyDucks Unplugged PodcastDirect Mail Marketing (and why it's making a comeback)About Deanna Dolecki & Ashley RuggeriDeanna Dolecki is the President of Blue Duck Agency, a boutique female-founded marketing agency.

On today's Legally Speaking Podcast, I am delighted to be joined by Bill Reid. Bill is the senior founding partner of Reid Collins, a former federal prosecutor, a two-time Benchmark Litigation U.S. Plaintiff Litigator of the Year, an adjunct professor atthe University of Texas School of Law, and the author of Fighting Bullies: The Case for a Career in Plaintiffs' Law. Over the course of his career, he has prosecuted precedent-setting cases and recovered billions of dollars in complex commercial litigation.This episode is not just about plaintiffs' law. It is about how the legal profession defines success, why so many talented young lawyers are funnelled down narrow paths before they really understand their options and what it actually takes to develop real trial judgment in a profession increasingly shaped by leverage, efficiency and now AI.For our UK and international listeners, think of this as a conversation about claimant-side trial work, professional formation, and whether the system is still set up to produce great courtroom lawyers.So why should you be listening in? You can hear Rob and William discussing:- Mastering the human element remains essential for trial success - Prioritising experience over prestige - The traditional legal career model is being reshaped - AI's encroachment exposes the inefficiency of the billable hour - Irreplaceable Human Skills.Connect with Bill Reid here - https://www.linkedin.com/in/williamtreidiv
