The world tells leaders they must be everything: visionary, innovator, operator, executor. Patrick Lencioni tried, but it nearly crushed him. He wasn't exhausted from effort; he was exhausted from misalignment. He discovered what most high performers never admit: trying to be everything is the fastest path to burnout. That insight became The Six Types of Working Genius, a simple framework reshaping how teams work by aligning people with the work that gives them energy.

Ep 139 - Hosts JP Mint and Greg Lemoine reconnect with longtime international educator and MYP middle school principal Chris Irvin, whose 20+ year journey spans Canada, Venezuela and China. Chris shares how he built a sustainable international teaching career—starting in a small Venezuelan school, transitioning into leadership, and eventually moving into MYP and IB continuum leadership at a large international school in Shenzhen. The conversation dives into international school hiring, what administrators really look for beyond credentials, how schools evaluate “right fit” and the elusive “plus one” candidates bring to a community, and why IB and MYP experience is not always required to get hired. Listeners also hear candid stories about local vs expat contracts, raising Third Culture Kids, language learning abroad, safety and independence for teens overseas, and memorable life moments—from power blackouts and police encounters in Venezuela to building a new life in China. Packed with practical advice, leadership insight, and real-world experience, this episode is essential listening for teachers, aspiring leaders, and anyone navigating international education, MYP schools, and long-term life abroad.Chapters[00:00] Intro[02:16] Teaching Journey Begins[05:08] Transitioning to International Teaching[08:18] Challenges of Teaching Abroad[11:14] Navigating Local Contracts[14:11] Leadership Roles and Responsibilities[17:21] Future Aspirations and Changes[19:50] Navigating International Education Choices[27:20] Life as Empty Nesters[35:15]  MidShow [36:46] Social Life and Community Engagement[43:01] Reflections on Family and Future Plans[43:49] Navigating Family Dynamics and Career Choices[46:07] Reflections on Friendship and Shared Experiences[46:34] The Anchor Story: A Memorable Adventure[50:53] Cherishing Relationships and Cultural Connections[52:14] Returning to Roots: Visits to Venezuela[54:59] The Importance of Well-Rounded Education[57:51] Finding the Right Fit in International Education[01:01:34] The Evolving Needs of Schools and Candidates[01:07:22] Navigating International Baccalaureate Schools[01:09:08] Hiring Practices in IB Schools[01:11:55] Hope for Non-IB Experienced Teachers-more information-The International Teacher Podcast is a bi-weekly discussion with experts in international education.

Tactical Transition Tips Round 109 of the Transition Drill Podcast offers practical guidance and career readiness for veterans and first responders, organized based on how far out your exit is. In this episode, how civilian career decisions that bring immediate relief can quietly limit your options.A lot of people in uniform picture the civilian world as the easier world. Less danger. Less stress. Less intensity.Some of that can be true. But the risk doesn't disappear when you hang up the uniform. It just changes its disguise.This time it's about a different kind of risk. The kind that doesn't show up with sirens or urgency. The kind that shows up later, after you've already made the move. It's the risk of picking what feels familiar instead of what protects your future. It's the trap of confusing relief with security. It's the slow cost of delayed consequences, unclear feedback, and workplaces where effort doesn't always translate into stability the way you're used to.If you're planning your transition, this is about learning to spot the new version of “danger” early, so you don't end up stuck in a role that feels calm but quietly caps your options.Transition-group tips• Close Range Group (transitioning within a year): Chasing Challenge or EasyTip: Before you commit to your next job, ask yourself if you're choosing it because it shuts the noise off fast, or because it actually gives you stability and growth.Why it matters: When urgency is running the show, “familiar” can feel safe even when it recreates the same burnout in different camouflage.• Medium Range Group (transitioning in 3 to 5 years): New Game, New RulesTip: Use your runway to learn how civilian careers actually work, including how decisions are made, how security is built, and how advancement really happens.Why it matters: The danger here isn't lack of preparation, it's preparing for the wrong game and getting blindsided by a different reward system.• Long Range Group (transitioning in a decade or more): Build Mobility, Not AttachmentTip: Build skills that travel, relationships outside your organization, and an identity that isn't dependent on your current role.Why it matters: Complacency is quiet, and the real risk is realizing too late your experience only makes sense inside one system.Get additional resources and join our newsletter via the link in the show notes.CONNECT WITH THE PODCAST:IG: https://www.instagram.com/paulpantani/WEBSITE: https://www.transitiondrillpodcast.comLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/paulpantani/SIGN-UP FOR THE NEWSLETTER:https://transitiondrillpodcast.com/home#aboutQUESTIONS OR COMMENTS:paul@transitiondrillpodcast.comSPONSORS:GRND CollectiveGet 15% off your purchaseLink: https://thegrndcollective.com/Promo Code: TRANSITION15Frontline OpticsGet 10% off your purchaseLink: https://frontlineoptics.comPromocode: Transition10

Fluent Fiction - Korean: Jinsu's Leap: Choosing Dreams Over Traditions at New Year Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/ko/episode/2026-01-13-08-38-20-ko Story Transcript:Ko: 진수는 오늘 아침 일찍 일어났다.En: Jinsu woke up early this morning.Ko: 그는 인천국제공항으로 가는 길에 있었다.En: He was on his way to Incheon International Airport.Ko: 그의 가슴속은 기대와 긴장감으로 가득 차 있었다.En: His heart was filled with anticipation and nervousness.Ko: 오늘 그가 타야 할 비행기는 그의 인생을 바꿀 기회를 주는 여정의 시작이었다.En: The flight he was to take today marked the beginning of a journey that would change his life.Ko: 밖에는 겨울바람이 불고 있었다.En: Outside, the winter wind was blowing.Ko: 공항으로 가는 택시 안에서 그는 창문 밖으로 Lunar New Year 장식을 보았다.En: From inside the taxi to the airport, he saw Lunar New Year decorations through the window.Ko: 형형색색의 랜턴과 전등이 거리를 밝히고 있었다.En: Colorful lanterns and lights illuminated the streets.Ko: 이맘때면 가족과 함께 시간을 보내야 한다는 생각이 그의 마음속에 걸려 있었다.En: At this time of year, the thought that he should be spending time with family lingered in his mind.Ko: "공항에 늦지 않길 빌어야지," 진수는 마음속으로 생각했다.En: "I hope I'm not late to the airport," Jinsu thought to himself.Ko: 하지만 곧 불안한 현실이 그를 덮쳤다.En: But soon, an uneasy reality hit him.Ko: 도로에는 차들이 잔뜩이었다.En: The road was packed with cars.Ko: 택시는 가다 서다를 반복했고, 시간은 빠르게 지나갔다.En: The taxi kept stop-and-going, and time was flying by.Ko: 드디어 공항에 도착했을 때, 진수는 허겁지겁 체크인 카운터로 달려갔다.En: When he finally arrived at the airport, Jinsu hurriedly ran to the check-in counter.Ko: 긴 보안 검사 줄을 보자 그의 숨이 가빴다.En: Seeing the long security check line, his breath quickened.Ko: ‘제발 늦지 않았으면 좋겠다' 그는 간절히 생각하며 다리를 떨었다.En: "I hope I'm not too late," he thought desperately, trembling his legs.Ko: 보안 검사를 통과하고 난 뒤, 진수는 가방을 체크하러 갔다.En: After passing the security check, Jinsu went to check his bag.Ko: 그런데 믿을 수 없게도, 그의 탑승권이 어디론가 사라진 것이다.En: Unbelievably, his boarding pass had disappeared somewhere.Ko: 진수는 가방과 주머니를 다 뒤졌지만, 탑승권은 찾을 수 없었다.En: He searched through his bag and pockets, but the boarding pass was nowhere to be found.Ko: 그는 흥분해서는 안 된다고 계속 자신을 다독였다.En: He kept telling himself that he must not get upset.Ko: 가까스로 다시 발권을 받고, 진수는 탑승구를 향해 달렸다.En: Barely managing to reissue his ticket, Jinsu ran towards the boarding gate.Ko: 마침내, 그는 방송에서 "마지막 탑승 안내"를 들었다.En: Finally, he heard the broadcast for "Last boarding call."Ko: 그의 탑승구는 저 앞에 보였다.En: He could see his gate ahead.Ko: 그의 발걸음은 조금 더 빨라졌다.En: His steps quickened a bit more.Ko: 그러나 그의 마음속에서는 아직 가족에 대한 걱정이 떠나지 않았다.En: However, worries about his family still lingered in his heart.Ko: 탑승구에 도착했을 때, 그는 잠시 멈춰 섰다.En: When he reached the gate, he paused for a moment.Ko: 이제 정말로 결정을 내려야 했다.En: Now he really had to make a decision.Ko: 새 직업과 가족, 무엇을 선택해야 할까?En: Should he choose the new job or his family?Ko: 그때 그의 마음속에 가족의 따뜻함이 느껴졌다.En: At that moment, he felt the warmth of his family in his heart.Ko: 그는 비행기를 타기로 결심했다.En: He decided to board the plane.Ko: "이것이 내 인생을 위한 중요한 발걸음이다," 그는 스스로 말했다.En: "This is an important step for my life," he told himself.Ko: 탑승 후, 그는 가족에게 전화를 했다.En: After boarding, he called his family.Ko: "엄마, 아빠. 저 탔어요," 진수는 식은땀을 흘려가며 말했다.En: "Mom, dad, I got on," Jinsu said, breaking out in a cold sweat.Ko: "제 결정을 믿어주세요. 우리 가족에게 더 나은 미래를 만들기 위해서예요."En: "Please trust my decision. It's to create a better future for our family."Ko: 그들은 그의 결정을 이해해주었고, 진수는 마음의 짐을 덜 수 있었다.En: They understood his decision, and Jinsu was able to lighten the burden on his heart.Ko: 비행기 안에서 그가 느끼는 것은 자유와 자신감이었다.En: On the plane, what he felt was freedom and confidence.Ko: 그의 앞에 새로운 미래가 펼쳐져 있었고, 진수는 그 길을 가기로 결정했다.En: A new future was unfolding before him, and Jinsu decided to take that path.Ko: 이제 그는 인생의 새로운 장을 열 준비가 되어 있었다.En: Now, he was ready to open a new chapter in life.Ko: 창밖으로 저 멀리 펼쳐진 하늘은 그의 새로운 시작을 축복하고 있는 것만 같았다.En: The sky spread out far beyond the window seemed to be blessing his new beginning.Ko: 공항의 분주한 풍경 속에서 그의 결심은 더욱 굳건해졌다.En: Amidst the busy scenes at the airport, his determination grew even firmer.Ko: 진수는 혼자가 아니었다.En: Jinsu was not alone.Ko: 가족의 지지와 사랑은 먼 곳에서도 느낄 수 있었다.En: He could feel the support and love of his family even from afar.Ko: 그리고 그는 그걸로 충분했다.En: And that was enough for him.

Since wrapping her 137-episode run on Riverdale about two years ago, Lili Reinhart's been determined to craft a filmography with intention. As she noted during our Collider Ladies Night conversation, she's always been picky about the work she takes on, but in this next stage of her career, her time on Riverdale is giving her the opportunity to say no and only do films and shows “that make sense or speak to me in certain ways,” and she's going to take it.Thus far, that mentality is working in Reinhart's favor big time. This year she celebrated the release of American Sweatshop, a wildly intense and deeply chilling tale of a social media moderator responsible for ridding the internet of the most offensive content, and the toll that job takes on her. That movie, which features a exceptional lead performance from Reinhart is available to buy or rent on digital platforms. Next year the one to keep an eye on is Forbidden Fruits, in which Reinhart plays Apple, the leader of a coven called The Fruits that operates out of a Free People-like store in the mall. With an ensemble that includes Reinhart, Victoria Pedretti, Alexandra Shipp, and Lola Tung, there's no doubt Forbidden Fruits will make waves when it hits theaters in 2026.But, a very special something you don't have to wait for? Hal & Harper, a limited series that's quietly one of the best new shows of 2026. From the mind of Cha Cha Real Smooth writer, director, and star, Cooper Raiff, Hal & Harper stars Reinhart opposite Raiff as the title brother and sister. Throughout eight episodes, the show explores Hal and Harper's codependent relationship, digging into the benefits of having an impossibly loving and supportive sibling, while also showing how that dynamic is holding them back. In order to do that to the fullest, the show also cuts back to pivotal points in Hal and Harper's childhood, scenes during which Raiff makes the bold decision to have him and Reinhart play the seven and nine-year-old versions of their characters — to great effect.Between American Sweatshop and Hal & Harper, Reinhart doesn't just go two-for-two in 2025, but she starts to lock in the fact that she's an undeniable star, an actor with range that Riverdale only scratched the surface of. Plus, it also proves that that pickiness is paying off. “Where you have maybe 25% control of your career, in that industry, I want to feel that I milked that percentage of what I could control.” So far, so good in that respect.

Join Annie Sargent and Elyse Rivin as they dive deep into the tragic and brilliant life of Vincent van Gogh. This episode isn't just about his iconic paintings—it's about the man behind the masterpieces. Elyse, with her deep knowledge of art history and her gift for storytelling, guides us through Van Gogh's tumultuous journey. From his early struggles in the Netherlands to his transformative years in France, we explore how his experiences shaped his art—and how his art, in turn, shaped the world. Listen to this episode ad-free Van Gogh's life was marked by failure, rejection, and mental health struggles. Elyse explains how these challenges fueled his creativity. As a young man, he tried—and failed—at careers as an art dealer, a preacher, and even a Bible translator. His family didn't know what to do with him, and his father even considered sending him to a mental hospital. But it was his brother, Theo, who became his lifeline. Theo provided financial and emotional support, allowing Vincent to focus on painting. This support gave him the freedom to experiment, leading to the bold, vibrant style we associate with him today. Paris was a turning point for Van Gogh. Elyse paints a vivid picture of his time there, living in Montmartre, meeting artists like Toulouse-Lautrec and Pissarro, and discovering new techniques. He hated the city at first, but over time, he began to embrace its energy. His move to Arles was another pivotal moment. He dreamed of creating an artists' colony there, but his relationship with Gauguin ended in disaster. Despite the chaos, this period was incredibly productive. He painted masterpieces like Starry Night Over the Rhône and Sunflowers. After his breakdown in Arles, Van Gogh was committed to an asylum in Saint-Rémy-de-Provence. Elyse's account of this time is heartbreaking yet inspiring. He continued to paint, creating some of his most famous works, including Wheat Fields and more versions of Starry Night. His final days in Auvers-sur-Oise were marked by relentless painting and a tragic end. This episode isn't just about art—it's about humanity, perseverance, and the cost of genius.

“If you are questioning what I'm doing, then why not get it from the source?” When you've consistently done the work to be one of the best, it's not just the on court respect and praise that is earned, it's how your voice resonates beyond the game and no better example of this than Kevin Durant. In this powerful and candid conversation, NBA superstar Kevin Durant sits down with Ryan Clark, Channing Crowder, and Fred Taylor to open up like never before. From his early days in Prince George's County to becoming one of the most dynamic scorers in NBA history, KD reflects on his journey through every team he's played for — the Thunder, Warriors, Nets, and Suns — and what each chapter taught him about loyalty, leadership, and growth. He opens up about overcoming devastating injuries, finding balance off the court, and the evolution of his mindset through success, criticism, and reinvention. He doesn't shy away from the questions surrounding his choices, his direct demeanor on social media and describes how he sees his iconic career vs. how it's viewed by the world. Revealing the darkness he experienced from his injuries to rediscovering the light from his time away from the game, KD's love and appreciation for the camaraderie, the intense competition and the high demands of the sport. He shares how special Olympic moments have been, how winning a championship doesn't define his legacy and lets us in on his bond with players around the NBA, especially Anthony Edwards, who he sees a lot of himself in and compares their relationship to a similar one he shared with the late Kobe Bryant. Durant also talks deeply about family, sharing heartfelt stories about the impact of his mother, Wanda, and his relationship with his father, Wayne, and how thier love and lessons shaped the man he is today. The conversation turns to business and life beyond basketball — from his ventures in media and tech with Boardroom to his vision for empowering the next generation of athletes and creators. And of course, KD keeps it real about being a lifelong Washington Commanders fan — the highs, lows, and that unwavering DMV pride. It's vintage Durant: honest, thoughtful, competitive, and always evolving. Don't forget to hit the subscribe button, like and comment- we love hearing from you Pivot family!

Mikkel, Astrid og Freja.En: At one of the café tables, three friends are sitting with their afternoon coffee: Mikkel, Astrid, and Freja.Da: Mikkel ser uroligt ud, som om han bærer på en hemmelighed.En: Mikkel looks uneasy, as if he's carrying a secret.Da: "Jeg har fået et jobtilbud," siger Mikkel pludselig.En: "I've received a job offer," says Mikkel suddenly.Da: Astrid og Freja ser op.En: Astrid and Freja look up.Da: "Det er i Tyskland," tilføjer han og kigger ned i sin kaffekop.En: "It's in Germany," he adds, looking down into his coffee cup.Da: "Hvad for et job?" spørger Astrid, der altid er nysgerrig, især når det handler om karriere.En: "What kind of job?" asks Astrid, who is always curious, especially when it comes to careers.Da: "Det er i et stort firma," forklarer Mikkel.En: "It's in a big company," Mikkel explains.Da: "En rigtig god mulighed.

You asked...we answered!In this first-ever “Ask Us Anything” episode, producer Melissa Martin flips the script and poses your biggest questions to host Matt Kirchner. The result is a candid, wide-ranging conversation that covers career decisions, workforce challenges, and the future of artificial intelligence.From elementary classrooms to C-suite hiring struggles to the role of AI in disrupting education, this episode explores the most pressing questions in STEM and technical education today. Matt and Melissa share real-world stories, practical advice, and unfiltered takes that every educator, employer, and student will find valuable.Listen to learn:Why career interests start forming as early as elementary school, and what kind of exposure matters mostHow young people can sort through post-secondary options without feeling trapped by a single choiceThe interview strategies that stand out to CEOs after thousands of candidate meetingsWhat manufacturers are getting right (and wrong) in the race to attract new talentHow AI is reshaping education, and why human relationships matter more than ever in the age of disruption3 Big Takeaways from this Episode:1. Early exposure changes student trajectories. Students begin shaping career perceptions as early as elementary school; use age-appropriate experiences to put advanced manufacturing and STEM on the radar. Matt traces his own path back to a fifth-grade plant tour - watching a vibratory deburring bowl - showing how simple, vivid experiences stick for years. 2. Talent pipelines are a long game. Employers that show up consistently, serve on advisory boards, visit classes often, bring students on site, even offer “pizza Tuesdays”, win attention and hires. Culture and first impressions matter on tours: clean, organized facilities and engaged employees signal a place students want to join, now and later. 3. AI elevates personalization and demands new pedagogy. Shift essay-style tasks toward live, in-class dialogue and reflection to reduce easy generative-AI shortcuts and increase real learning. Use data-informed, asynchronous pathways so learners who need time can take it, and those ready to advance aren't held back.Submit your own question for a future edition of Ask Us Anything on our website! https://techedpodcast.com/askusanything/We want to hear from you!

Hosts: Dr. Ashlee Gethner, LCSW – Child of a Police Officer Jennifer Woosley Saylor, LPCC S – Child of a Police Officer Episode Overview: In this candid episode, Ashlee and Jennifer turn the mics on themselves to dive into their personal journeys, career paths, and how being raised in first responder families shapes not only your worldview but your entire emotional toolkit. The duo explores themes of resilience, family systems, vulnerability, and the ongoing impact of childhood experiences into adult life. Key Topics Covered The First Responder Family System: Jennifer and Ashlee reflect on the unique resilience, values, and awareness that come from growing up in a first responder household. They discuss how these environments often foster critical thinking, acute emotional intelligence, but also present real challenges especially around chaos, structure, and sometimes rigid expectations. Career Paths: Ashlee and Jennifer share their motivating moments that led them to helping professions (social work, mental health), including behind-the-scenes stories about family, pivotal college classes, and the “aha” moments that cemented their purpose. Candid talk about how family experiences (including tough love and the need to “prove ourselves”) shape career choices and attitudes. Family Dynamics & Resiliency: A reflection on the double-edged sword of first responder family dynamics. The strong values and community, alongside the strictness and sometimes unintentionally harsh communication styles that get carried from the field into the home. Insights into how these family systems continue to evolve as children grow into adults and re-negotiate relationships with their parents. Vulnerability & Forgiveness: The importance of parents, especially first responders, showing vulnerability and apologizing when things go wrong. How open, honest dialogue between parent and child can build long-term resilience and deep family bonds, even (or especially) after conflict. Parenting Reflections: Both hosts admit the learning curve of parenting, and the hope to do things differently while acknowledging that every generation makes mistakes. The value of simply saying “I’m sorry” as a parent.   If this episode resonated with you or if you have stories to share about living with a first responder, reach out to Ashlee and Jennifer on their social media platforms!   Thank you for tuning in!
