Anna Harman is the co-founder and CEO of the ear-piercing and earrings brand Studs. She began her career as a mutual fund formation lawyer but soon realized she didn't have a passion for law. She then spent several years at the asset management firm Bridgewater Associates before moving into business, eventually landing at Store No. 8, Walmart's brand incubator. One day, while trying to get her ears pierced, she had a hard time finding a clean, reasonably priced, fun place to do it. She realized there was a huge white space in the market for a piercing destination that was more mature than Claire's and more inviting than the tattoo shop on the corner. Soon after, she and her co-founder, Lisa Bubbers, developed the concept for Studs—a clean, cool ear-piercing store that made ear piercing a desirable, experiential moment. Studs opened its first store in November 2019 and was immediately profitable. It drew praise for the easy piercing experience and innovative offerings, like its trademarked “Earscape” concept. Today, Studs has expanded to over 30 stores, including one in Rockefeller Center, and offers scores of high-quality, affordable jewelry options for every taste.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

As CEO of Verizon's consumer division, Sowmyanarayan Sampath oversees the biggest part of the company, which does business with roughly a third of the entire country. He's a longtime Verge reader, so we  talked very directly about whether the huge 5G investment had actually paid off, and whether – whether the “race” we were supposedly in with China was actually worth it, and what kinds of new apps and services actually come to light. And while Verizon fought tooth and nail against regulations like net neutrality, the current Trump administration isn't nearly as hands-off when it comes to things like  holding up deals because of DEI policies — something that's happening to Verizon right now. So I had to ask Sampath if he was going to push back on that kind of government overreach as hard as Verizon has in the past.

Bird flu, which has long been an emerging threat, took a significant turn in 2024 with the discovery that the virus had jumped from a wild bird to a cow. In just over a year, the pathogen has spread through dairy herds and poultry flocks across the United States. It has also infected people, resulting in 70 confirmed cases, including one fatality. Correspondent Bill Whitaker spoke with veterinarians and virologists who warn that, if unchecked, this outbreak could lead to a new pandemic. They also raise concerns about the Biden administration's slow response in 2024 and now the Trump administration's decision to lay off over 100 key scientists. Demis Hassabis, a pioneer in artificial intelligence, is shaping the future of humanity. As the CEO of Google DeepMind, he was first interviewed by correspondent Scott Pelley in 2023, during a time when chatbots marked the beginning of a new technological era. Since that interview, Hassabis has made headlines for his innovative work, including using an AI model to predict the structure of proteins, which earned him a Nobel Prize. Pelley returns to DeepMind's headquarters in London to discuss what's next for Hassabis, particularly his leadership in the effort to develop artificial general intelligence (AGI) – a type of AI that has the potential to match the versatility and creativity of the human brain.  One of the most awe-inspiring and mysterious migrations in the natural world is currently taking place, stretching from Mexico to the United States and Canada. This incredible spectacle involves millions of monarch butterflies embarking on a monumental aerial journey. Correspondent Anderson Cooper reports from the mountains of Mexico, where the monarchs spent the winter months sheltering in trees before emerging from their slumber to take flight.

Otherwise, you're not being brave—you're just doing something." Matthew Finlin   Let's make something clear: your next level won't come through control—it will come through surrender. And if you're not willing to surrender the version of you that built your current success, you will never become the CEO who sustains millions with peace, alignment, and authority.   In this powerful, provocative conversation with Matthew Finlan, we dismantle the illusion that evolving your business starts with a pivot. Instead, we go deep into what it actually takes to release what's no longer aligned, walk away from comfort, and obey the divine pull that dares you to become someone entirely new.   From uprooting his life and moving to Peru, to building a legacy rooted in spiritual alignment and youth empowerment, Matthew reminds us that the decision to follow divine direction—even when it doesn't make sense—is the ultimate CEO move. If you've been feeling called to something more—but fear, comfort, or obligation are keeping you where you are—this episode is your confirmation.   Get your Move to Millions Podcast notebook ready—you'll want to take notes on the lessons packed into this incredible conversation!  Listen in to discover: ✔ How to recognize when it's time to evolve—not pivot—and why spiritual alignment is the key to sustainable growth. ✔ How to use fear as a compass and step into courage when the next season of your business demands more from you. ✔ How to discern whether your decisions are coming from obligation or inspiration—and how to realign for expansion and abundance. ✔ And so much more   This episode is a masterclass in evolution over effort, faith over fear, and abundance over attachment. If you've been circling a decision, ignoring the divine disruption, or holding back your next move, this conversation will give you permission to let go, leap, and land in your next level—gracefully.   Powerful Quotes from The Episode: "You have to be scared to be courageous. Otherwise, you're not being brave—you're just doing something." "It would take more courage for me to stay than to leave." "Being committed to the vision and unattached to what it looks like—that's the evolution." "If you're not consciously feeding abundance, you are by default feeding fear and lack." "My courage actually comes from fear—the fear of getting to the end and regretting what I didn't do." Questions to Ask Yourself While Listening: Am I making decisions based on where I've been—or where I'm called to go? Do I feel contracted or expansive when I think about what's next for my business? What am I afraid to let go of, even though it no longer serves me? Am I acting out of obligation or inspiration in this season? What would it look like to surrender the outcome and trust divine provision for my next level?   Move to Millions Wisdom Questions: Last Book Matthew Read: The Bible and The Kybalion by William Atkinson Favorite Quote: “If you want to go fast go alone; if you want to go far, go together.” Tool Matthew Swears By On His Own Move to Millions: Google Calendar   How to Connect with Matthew Finlan: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/matthewfinlin/ Incredible One Enterprises, LLC is not responsible for the content and information delivered during the podcast interview by any guest.

The Learning Leader Show with Ryan Hawk Go to www.LearningLeader.com for full show notes This is brought to you by Insight Global. If you need to hire 1 person, hire a team of people, or transform your business through Talent or Technical Services, Insight Global's team of 30,000 people around the world have the hustle and grit to deliver. www.InsightGlobal.com/LearningLeader Bert Bean is the CEO of Insight Global. Insight Global is a 4.3-billion-dollar, industry-leading talent and technical services firm based in Atlanta, GA. Bert started with Insight Global in 2005 as a Recruiter and has since worked his way up within the company, exemplifying Insight Global's “promote from within” culture. Sam Kaufman is the Chief Revenue Officer of Insight Global. Sam began his career as an entry-level recruiter in 2004, and he has earned many promotions throughout his career. I initially started working with Sam as his executive coach in March 2020, and then mid-2021, we formalized a bigger partnership with Insight Global, becoming the presenting sponsor of The Learning Leader Show, and we broadened my role working with leaders throughout the company. It's been so much fun. Notes Insight Global is a $4.3B business. Insight Global grew 9.2% last year, while the industry declined 9%. How is Insight Global winning while all other staffing firms are losing? A lot of companies will succumb to the idea that it's just gonna be a bad year, but our people are like, no, we'll just figure it out. We'll pivot. We'll move industries. We'll change accounts, we'll change our focus. We'll sell different services. And that's really what we've done. “Many in our industry are losing hope. That's not us. This is where we thrive.” "Our people's ability to show up, keep going, um, do new things, evolve, is really, I think it's second to none. And that's been a huge part of our story." The whole world is soft. We love leaders like Laura Downey. She's so driven, so hardcore. A beast. She's in Canada. She just reaches right out to me like we're old friends. If I could get a bunch of Laura Downey's, it's game over. Obsession: A through-point for the entire conversation was obsession. Being obsessed with caring for people. Being obsessed with doing hard things like running 20 miles to work. Being obsessed with how prepared you are for a big meeting. Being obsessed with your standards. Holding yourself accountable to them and others. The leaders who sustain excellence over time are obsessed with their craft. Potential over experience - “If you want to build a culture of commitment and care, you have to choose potential over experience.” Things to look for when promoting a leader: Hard decision making Strategic bets Simplifying complex problems  “The most important skill as a CEO is getting to the truth. It's really hard because it's really scary. Normal humans find every excuse not to deal with harsh truths.” ­-- Ben Horowitz The baseball on Bert's desk from the Atlanta Braves is an example of what not to do. The overall brand of Sam Kaufman = CARE Hiring in India - One of our folks that's doing the interviews asks this individual if, if they want a bottle of water, gives 'em a bottle of water, and this person says, wow, of all the places I've been to interview, nobody's offered me a single drink of water or treated me like a human being. Bert:  I grew up in a small town in Alabama and was a very average kind of kid. But my mom was always like, you can do anything you want. Don't ever let somebody tell you you can't. You can be you, you can be the fastest runner in the world if you want. Sam: I get in here at 5:30 every day because I have a couple thousand people that started where I started, and I am obsessed with the idea that they should have the best career ever. Bert: I think a lot of people don't ever get a chance to suffer on their own terms. Yeah. You know, like to, to enter the pain cave on their own terms. And that's a really cool thing to, to step into that and to figure out, all right, do you have the stuff or do you not? You know? And I think all of us deep down are afraid to answer that question. I just gotta know if I can do it. I have to know that. I like that challenge. I put in the work, I put in the training. And then when you do it, you're like, I knew I had that in me, and it just is so reassuring to me. Bert: I love a sense of accomplishment. I love a sense of accomplishment. Uh, I love that I can do something hard. I've always, you know, I lived in Yellowstone National Park for a summer in college, so I fell in love with the American West and I loved seeing mountains and being like, why can't I just stand on that? Sam: The last couple years, I've spent a few hours kind of every morning working what I need to be talking about and what does my voice sound like? And through the course of a couple years of working on it now, I gotta run a call with a couple thousand people this afternoon, and it's like, oh, I'll just go do that next because I'm, I'm ready for that. Sam: I'm a person they can count on when they need them. And that's what sales really is. And that's what sales will teach you. And so for, you know, for my organization, if I want my people to see that, I want them to learn that. Bert's Tattoo – Be The Light

What if the traditional education system isn't broken—but outdated? In this compelling episode of Aspire to Lead, I'm joined by Richard DeLorenzo, founder of the Re-Inventing Schools Coalition, Roxy Mourant, CEO of CBE Ignited, and Jessica Enderson, COO of CBE Ignited, to explore the transformative power of Competency-Based Education (CBE). Together, we unpack the foundational principles from their book, Competency-Based Education Ignited, and examine how CBE differs from past reform efforts. We discuss why this student-centered, mastery-driven approach holds real promise for sustainability and equity in education. The team shares what mindset shifts are needed for teachers, how leaders can guide schools through the transition, and what it truly looks like when students take ownership of their learning. From redefining success to scaling system-wide change, this episode is filled with bold ideas, proven strategies, and the passion to reshape the future of learning.

What's the real reason you want to write a book? If your answer doesn't connect directly to your business goals, you may be missing the mark. In this episode of Leveraging Thought Leadership, Peter sits down with Cathy Fyock, a book strategist who helps authors write the right book—the one that aligns with their business, audience, and long-term strategy. Cathy shares why writing a book should never be step one. Instead, authors must start with a solid strategy: What do you want the book to do for your business? Who exactly are you writing it for? How will you leverage it to create opportunity, revenue, or credibility? We explore the importance of aligning your book's content and audience with your current business model. Cathy also explains why writing for “everyone” is a mistake, and why serving a clearly defined niche can lead to powerful results—even if it feels narrow. If you've ever wrestled with the choice between self-publishing, hybrid, or traditional publishing, Cathy breaks down the pros and cons of each. Her recommendation? Own your IP, own your margins, and stay in control. You'll also hear surprising insights about how some authors make more from not selling books—using them as a powerful sales tool to land clients, speaking gigs, and consulting contracts. Three Key Takeaways: • Start with strategy, not writing. A successful book begins with clear goals, a defined audience, and alignment with your business model—not just a blank page and good intentions. • Niche focus drives greater impact. Writing for a well-defined, specific audience builds credibility and creates stronger results than trying to appeal to everyone. • Books are business tools, not just products. The real ROI often comes not from book sales, but from using the book to generate leads, secure speaking engagements, or land high-value clients. If you found value in the strategic insights shared in this episode, you won't want to miss our conversation with Becky Robinson: "Writing a Book As an Extension of Your Business." Becky, the founder and CEO of Weaving Influence, delves into how authors can seamlessly integrate their books into their broader business strategies. She shares practical advice on launching a book, building a lasting platform, and ensuring your message reaches the right audience over time. This episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to amplify their thought leadership and make their book a cornerstone of their business growth.

On this week's show, your host, Justin Mog, plants some trees of hope with Dan Lambe, CEO of the Arbor Day Foundation (https://www.arborday.org/)! We are celebrating our national Arbor Day, coming up on Friday, April 25, 2025 by being in conversation with one of our nation's biggest tree-huggers! But Dan doesn't just love trees, he fights every day to protect, expand, and diversify the tree canopy all over the globe. Trees are vital to our communities. They clean our air by absorbing over 48 pounds of carbon dioxide annually while releasing oxygen. Trees filter our water, provide shade, slow storm surge and flooding, and provide habitats for wildlife. Each year, we lose 36 million trees due to age, disease, pests and severe weather. To tackle this issue, the Arbor Day Foundation has partnered with Subaru for the Subaru Loves the Earth initiative. Participating Subaru retailers across the country will give away 100,000 mature and regionally appropriate trees to communities nationwide. This is the largest corporate tree distribution in its history. This initiative supports the Arbor Day Foundation's mission to plant trees in the communities that need them most, helping to protect the planet for generations to come. Dan Lambe has committed nearly two decades of work to helping solve some of the biggest issues facing people and the planet through trees. Dan was named Arbor Day Foundation CEO in 2022 after 19 years in leadership roles at the organization. He has launched an initiative to accelerate the nonprofit's impact by planting 500 million trees with a focus in forests and neighborhoods of greatest need. The ambitious goal, set to replicate the number of trees planted in the Foundation's first 50 years in only five years, has helped spur remarkable growth within the organization and expanded the Foundation's global reach. Lambe is a trusted thought leader in the sustainable forestry space and he regularly speaks at conferences hosted by the United Nations, Sustainable Brands, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and other high-profile industry events where trees and climate intersect. As always, our feature is followed by your community action calendar for the week, so get your calendars out and get ready to take action for sustainability NOW! Sustainability Now! is hosted by Dr. Justin Mog and airs on Forward Radio, 106.5fm, WFMP-LP Louisville, every Monday at 6pm and repeats Tuesdays at 12am and 10am.
