One of the richest gifts God has given us is healthy relationships.A marriage in balance, friends who mutually respect each other, and most of all, a strong “God connection” can be the ticket to a healthy, whole life. The full life Jesus spoke about!Hebrews 10:24–25 says, “And let us consider how to spur one another to love and to good works. Let us not forsake the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, but let us exhort one another, especially as you see the Day approaching.”With the fast pace of life, sometimes we forget to squeeze all the gratitude we can out of a great relationship. Remember to regularly tell the people in your life how much they mean to you, and to give thanks to God for sending these loved ones your way. Write them a note, even a text, to tell them what they mean to you.Let's pray.Lord, it's not about the number of relationships we have, but the quality. Thank you for giving people who are loyal and love us in return. Encourage us to love others in word and in deed. In Jesus' name, amen. Change your shirt, and you can change the world!

ABOUT THE EPISODE:The morning of our move, the pods were in the driveway, my dad had shown up ready to work, and my son was barely awake and in no shape to lift a box. Half an hour in, he asked if we were almost done. I felt the butterflies start up in my chest, and within seconds I was matching his drama word for word, with my dad standing right there taking it all in.Cathy has her own version of that moment - and I'm sure you do as well. We can laugh about it now, but both of us spent years believing we were responding to our kids when we were really just adding fuel to their fire.This episode is about non-reactivity, the piece of the Invitation to Change approach that I think quietly gets left behind while we focus on more concrete things like boundaries and natural consequences. Chaos needs two participants, so when you stop supplying your half, something shifts, and it has nothing to do with controlling your child.Cathy and I talk about where reactivity shows up in your body before your brain catches up, why the rules every "good family" follows can pull you into the wrong fight, and what to do when the demands and gaslighting leave you wondering who the parent is in your house. We also talk about safety, because sometimes that pounding heart is telling you something real.And we re-share a line from our friend Dina Cannizzaro that I think every parent should memorize. Put it on a sticky note, or your forearm, or bathroom mirror - it's pure gold.If your home has started to revolve around your child's moods and you're tired of losing the same argument over and over, this one is for you.YOU'LL LEARN:What Cathy and I each finally did mid-blowup that changed the relationship dynamicsThe early warning signs your body sends before you say something you regretWhy the small things you care about most can be the perfect distraction for your kidTwo questions to ask yourself when you feel triggered, and why one of them is about your safetyThe powerful line Dina recommends to step away from a fight without walking away from your childEPISODE RESOURCES:Hopestream podcast episode 297 with Dina CannizzaroThis podcast is part of a nonprofit called Hopestream CommunityLearn about The Stream, our private online community for momsFind us on Instagram hereWatch the podcast on YouTube hereDownload a free e-book, Worried Sick: A Compassionate Guide For Parents When Your Teen or Young Adult Child Misuses Drugs and AlcoholHopestream Community is a registered 501(c)3 nonprofit organization and an Amazon Associate.

Why don't narcissists change—even when their behavior is hurting the people closest to them? In this episode of Help! I Have a Narcissist in My Life, Laurel Slade-Waggoner explains the narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) symptom loop and how narcissistic behaviors can reinforce one another in a destructive cycle. You'll learn how a narcissist's belief in their own specialness can feed entitlement, lack of empathy, manipulation, exploitation, grandiosity, and the need for excessive admiration—and how those patterns can ultimately reinforce the beliefs that started the cycle. If you've spent years hoping the narcissist in your life will finally listen, understand how much they're hurting you, accept correction, or change their behavior, this episode will help you better understand the pattern you may be dealing with.

Geraldine Mock became the first woman to fly around the world in 1964. Landing for a short stop in Saudi Arabia, she watched as a man approached her plane. When he saw her, he shouted to his friends that this was no man.They applauded!Jerrie Mock's steadiness at the wheel and in her encounters on the ground were the very picture of self-control. Her journey was wildly successful.Titus 2:11–12 says, “For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation to all, training us to renounce impiety and worldly passions, and in the present age to live lives that are self-controlled, upright, and godly…”In order to navigate this crazy world, we have to be steady, and the Fruit of the Spirit ends with a reminder to practice self-control in all we do. Be steady. As Scripture reminds us, don't look right or left, but ahead. God sees real value in this trait, because He knows we cannot possibly succeed if we let our emotions rule us, or we run ahead on our own instincts.Let's pray.Lord, help us practice discipline and love doing good as we walk through life.

Ask professionals at the world's biggest companies whether they have a plan for their own learning and growth, and Bill Hoogterp says the answer is almost never yes. He built LifeHikes around that gap, and in this episode he shows how a happy accident turned into a scalable model. Bill's career reads like a series of rivers rather than a roadmap: a decade of living cashless and keyless, nonprofits that mobilized over a million student volunteers, an internet company that grew into Raptive, and, 12 years ago, a pivot into training and coaching. Peter presses him for the through line, and the answer says a lot about how ideas take shape. The pivotal moment came at a public speaking session with a room full of Hollywood agents. Bill's coaches had started offering ten free minutes of executive coaching during breaks. When one agent asked for an honest read on himself in front of the group, a line formed. Peter calls it the free sample model, the same play bakeries and Costco have run for years. Those short conversations surfaced a bigger problem. Learning is highly structured until school ends, and then people are on their own, with no system for mapping what to learn, what the business needs, and where they want to go. As Prudential's Charlie Lowrey put it, it's the 401(k) before the 401(k). LifeHikes is Bill's answer: a model any company can customize, shaped by regular conversations with a couple hundred learning leaders. He is also moving his shares into a foundation, which is now working with the Mastercard Foundation on workforce skills for young people in Africa. Then the conversation gets personal. Bill has coached celebrities and CEOs, and he is direct about what he sees behind the titles: plenty of people who look like they're crushing it are running on empty. Beyond a certain income, he argues, fulfillment comes from growth, challenge, meaning, and adventure, and how society keeps score shapes what we chase. He even asks Peter to guess how much potential most people leave on the table. If you build ideas for a living, or lead people who do, this one is worth your time. It's a candid look at how a small experiment becomes a model, and what a model is ultimately for. Three Key Takeaways: • Give people a taste and demand follows. Ten free minutes of executive coaching at the end of a training session revealed a hunger most people didn't know they had. The sample became the on-ramp to a much larger business. • Growth is a missing system, not a missing desire. Once school ends, nobody maps out what you should learn or where you're headed. A customizable, 401(k)-style model gives companies a way to fill that gap for everyone, not just the top tier. • How you keep score shapes what you chase. Past a certain income, happiness comes from growth, challenge, meaning, and adventure, not the next raise. Change the scoring, as the three-point line changed basketball, and you change the game. This conversation is basically the book in miniature. Bill's LifeHikes story — free coaching samples turning into a scalable model, one insight at a time — is exactly the pattern Peter, Bill Sherman, and Naren Aryal mapped out after 700+ podcast conversations with thought leaders. If you want the frameworks behind what you just heard, not just the anecdote, pick up The Thought Leadership Handbook, co-authored by Peter Winick, Bill Sherman, and Naren Aryal.

What if technology could help us become more present, more connected and more loving?In this fascinating conversation, Nimesh is joined by Dr. Scott and Leana Wilde, co-founders of Wishwell Village, to explore love, consciousness, intention and a very different vision for how technology could bring people together.Both share deeply personal spiritual awakenings, including near-death experiences that changed the direction of their lives and ultimately helped shape the work they now share.They discuss the creation of Wishwell, where people can offer their presence to someone else's wish through a simple guided practice, and explore what may happen when collective attention is intentionally focused on love, gratitude and possibility.What began as an experiment in collective meditation has grown into a global movement, with more than 280,000 Wishwell symbols gifted across six continents.The conversation also moves through surrender, identity, community, manifestation and the importance of becoming conscious about where we place our attention.Because perhaps one of the greatest gifts we can give another human being is simply our presence.In This Episode✨ How near-death experiences changed Scott and Leana's lives✨ The journey from spiritual awakening to creating Wishwell✨ Why your attention and presence matter✨ Collective intention, manifestation and consciousness✨ Choosing love, community and joy during uncertain timesWhat You'll Take Away✨ Presence can be one of the most meaningful things we give another person✨ Where you place your attention shapes your experience✨ Change can require surrendering identities and attachments✨ Community can help us move through difficult transitions✨ Joy does not have to wait until everything in life is resolvedGuest BioDr. Scott and Leana Wilde are the co-founders of Wishwell Village, a project exploring how technology can support presence, giving, gratitude and collective intention.Dr. Scott brings decades of experience as a chiropractor alongside his exploration of frequency, nervous-system regulation, meditation and consciousness.Leana's spiritual path deepened following a near-death experience after becoming a mother, leading her into storytelling, podcasting and creating spaces around spirituality and awakening.Together, they have grown Wishwell from an idea born through meditation into a global movement centred on one simple intention: creating more love and presence in the world.Connect with Dr. Scott and LeanaWebsite: https://wishwellvillage.comInstagram: https://instagram.com/wishwellvillageContinue Your Journey With Nimesh✨ Explore Spiritual Mentorship with NimeshIf you are moving through change, questioning who you are becoming or feeling called to explore your spiritual path more deeply, book a free discovery call to explore spiritual mentorship and deeper support.https://calendly.com/spiritualjourney/30min✨ Akashic Record ReadingIf you feel called to understand your soul contracts, patterns, purpose or guidance more deeply, an Akashic Record Reading can support that journey.https://calendly.com/spiritualjourney/akashic-record-reading✨ Spiritual Journey MembershipJoin a safe and supportive spiritual community with monthly teachings, guided meditations, energy updates and space to grow alongside others on the path.https://nimesh-radia.com/spiritual-membership/Connect with NimeshEmail: nims@nimesh-radia.comWebsite: https://nimesh-radia.comPodcast: https://nimesh-radia.com/podcast/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nimesh_radia/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/nimesh.radiaLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nimesh-radiaReflectionWhere is your attention going each day — and what would change if you consciously gave more of it to love, presence and joy?This podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: Podtrac - https://analytics.podtrac.com/privacy-policy-gdrp

But you also need to add that it "respond[s] to decline narratives about literature and literary study and to offer an alternative to prevailing sense of defeat and nostalgia that guides them.”Her conversation with John, like the book itself, aims to narrate the history of Web 2.0 from about 2004 to the present and to explore how writers themselves have responded since 2008.

Episode SummaryMost transformation programmes are built around the hardware of an organisation: the systems, the ERP rollout, the AI licences switched on and handed out. Michael J. López, consultant, author of CHANGE, and the person behind a new national workforce study of 1,000 workers, has spent two decades delivering that traditional playbook, and the last five trying to change it. His starting point is simple: when his team asked employees for the top five things they get from their company during change and the top five things they actually need, the two lists had nothing in common. What people get is the stuff done to them. What they need is the stuff done by them.The conversation with Dan and Pia moves from diagnosis to what leaders can actually do differently. Michael names the "failure minimisation cycle," where everyone downplays how hard change will be to get budgets approved, which leaves people under-resourced and more cynical each time. His alternative is to treat change as a capability rather than a project: stress-tolerant cultures, executive teams that genuinely lead together, goals people feel they've contributed to, and progress measured through behavioural inputs and stories as well as hard outputs. It's an honest episode about why change takes 18–24 months, and why pretending otherwise costs more.Key Themes & TakeawaysIn Michael's study, the top five things employees receive during change (emails, communications, training) had zero overlap with the top five they need (experimentation, room for productive mistakes, coaching, leaders going first, the right environment).The "failure minimisation cycle" is well-intentioned but corrosive: underselling complexity to win approval leaves people under-resourced, so change feels harder than promised and trust drops with every programme.Treat change as an organisational capability, a muscle built over time, rather than a project with an end date, because the next change is always coming.65% of employees in the study felt their company's change plan asked them to move faster than was realistic; the systems can be installed quickly, but people need more time.The "what's in it for me" document rarely moves anyone; people commit to goals they feel they've contributed ideas and effort to, not goals handed down with a reward attached.The CEO's job includes preparing the executive team to lead change together; a committee without a committed champion is where programmes stall.Measure progress through "hard input signals" (new leadership and team behaviours) and "soft signals" (stories and cultural shifts), not only red-amber-green dashboards of outputs.Three Reasons to ListenListen if you've watched a transformation programme get approved on a promise everyone privately knew was too optimistic, and then watched people pay the price for it.Listen if your AI rollout amounted to "here are the licences, go and innovate" and you're wondering why so little has changed.Listen if you've ever been expected to show certainty in a planning meeting when the honest answer was "we'll learn as we go."Notable Quotes"What we tend to get from change is all the stuff that's done to people. And what employees really said is we need all the stuff that's done by people." — Michael J. López"I believe that change is about accuracy more than about precision." — Michael J. López"It does take boldness in a world where people mistake confidence for competence." — Dan HammondResources from MichaelWebsite: michaeljlopez.coachRethinking Change Management (the 2026 workforce study): Free Executive Summary · Full studyBook, CHANGE: Six Science-Backed Strategies to Transform Your Brain, Body, and Behavior: Amazon · Audiobook on Apple BooksTop Voice Podcast (live every Tuesday): YouTube · Apple Podcasts · SpotifyFollow Michael: LinkedIn · Instagram

On Christmas Day in 2021, 18-year-old Ariana Ptarcinski suffered a fatal stab wound at her family's home in Spring Hill, Florida. She died the following day. Her death was ruled a homicide, but in August 2023, prosecutors declined to file criminal charges, citing what they described as insufficient evidence of criminal intent.  For this bonus episode of Voices for Justice, I'm joined by Aaron from the Generation Why podcast. Aaron has been speaking with Ariana's father, Ed, and takes the lead as we discuss the circumstances surrounding her death, the questions her family has raised about the investigation, and their efforts to get justice. Ariana was a talented artist, a recent high school graduate, and a young woman making plans for her future. Her story deserves to be heard, and her family shouldn't have to fight for answers alone.  Please share this episode to help raise awareness. You can learn more about Ariana, follow updates about her case, and find ways to support the call for justice through the links below. If you have any information about Ariana Ptarcinski's death, please contact the Hernando County Sheriff's Office at 352-754-6830, or submit an anonymous tip through Hernando County Crime Stoppers at 1-866-990-8477.

VR45 - Today on Vapid Response: 25 years after the terror attacks of September 11, 2001, we look back on the Forrest Gump of monstrously bad legal takes: former DOJ lawyer and current UC Berkeley law professor (!) John Yoo. We go back to the primary sources to show how the Office of Legal Counsel explicitly authorized torture, indefinite detention in Guantanamo Bay, and warrantless surveillance of U.S. citizens before giving Secretary of State Marco Rubio a chance to explain why the world should never hold the United States accountable for any of it. Cases and sources discussed: “Time to Think About Torture,” Jonathan Alter, Newsweek (11/4/2001) “Is There a Tortuous Road to Justice?” Alan M. Dershowitz, LA Times (11/8/2001) Memorandum for John Rizzo, Acting Counsel for the CIA, DOJ Office of Legal Counsel (August 1, 2002) Possible Habeas Jurisdiction Over Aliens Held in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, Patrick Philbin & John Yoo (December 28 2001) Constitutionality of Amending Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act to Change the "Purpose " Standard for Searches, John Yoo (9/25/2001) “Why We're Dismantling the ICC,” Secretary of State Marco Rubio (July 14, 2026) Check out the OA Linktree for all the places to go and things to do!

Two weeks after one phone call, four hostages walked free from Gaza...A Note from James:After the election, before Trump was sworn in for his second term, Biden's national security team needed to reach the president-elect about the hostages in Gaza.According to Bill O'Reilly, they couldn't get through.So who did they call?Bill O'Reilly.Bill says he set up the conversation, moderated it, and didn't offer a single opinion. About two weeks later, four hostages were released.That story is a good example of his new book, Confronting America: What Has to Change.Bill has spent more than 50 years around the people who make the news. Presidents. Political leaders. Media executives. Celebrities. He's interviewed five presidents. He's traveled around the world. And in this book, he names names. No anonymous sources.It's Trump. It's Mamdani. It's Soros. It's Paul McCartney. It's David Letterman.In 1996, Bill launched The O'Reilly Factor. It was an opinion show that openly said it was an opinion show, and it became one of the biggest programs in cable news.Now he runs his own media operations outside the traditional networks.Fair warning: I was more opinionated in this interview than I usually am.Bill has strong views on the media, Iran, New York City, the political parties, and where the country is headed. I pushed back in a few places, agreed with him in others, and the point is not that you have to agree with either of us.Listen and decide for yourself.At the end, I asked Bill about something he wrote in the book: his father's final words were about never reaching his potential.So I asked Bill whether he feels like he has reached his.I expected him to say he was still chasing it.He didn't.Episode Description:Bill O'Reilly joins James to talk about Confronting America: What Has to Change, a book built from decades of firsthand encounters with presidents, political figures, media executives, and major events.The conversation starts with O'Reilly's account of helping establish communication between the outgoing Biden national-security team and President-elect Trump during negotiations over hostages in Gaza. From there, James asks what being close to power has taught him—and how much of what happens behind the scenes ever reaches the public.They turn to the U.S.-Iran conflict, oil prices, the Strait of Hormuz, and the risks of making decisions when the consequences are difficult to predict. O'Reilly argues that the conflict became more complicated than initially expected, while James asks how media coverage shapes public perceptions of events like these.That leads to a larger debate over political media. O'Reilly distinguishes the openly opinionated format of The O'Reilly Factor from what he sees as increasing ideological alignment inside news organizations. James pushes on whether opinion-driven cable news helped create that environment in the first place.They also discuss the Trump administration's fight with CNN, MS NOW, and Politico over White House access. Despite his criticism of those outlets, O'Reilly says he would have handled the dispute differently: keep them in the room, but don't give them additional attention.The conversation then moves to New York City politics, affordability, inequality, Mayor Zohran Mamdani's agenda, municipal grocery stores, and the broader disagreement over how much government should intervene in markets. James is unusually explicit about his own views in this section, while O'Reilly explains how he sees the ideological divide reshaping both parties.Near the end, James asks what changed when O'Reilly left corporate television and began running his own media operations. O'Reilly says independence gives him something he values more than reach: control over what he says and how he says it.Finally, James asks about one of the most personal passages in the book. O'Reilly's father died believing he had not fully realized his potential. Does Bill still feel the same pressure?His answer is surprisingly settled. He wants to continue doing good work, but he no longer feels he has something left to prove.What You'll Learn:O'Reilly's account of helping connect the Biden and Trump teams during Gaza hostage negotiations.Why he views the U.S.-Iran conflict as a major political and strategic risk.How James and O'Reilly think media bias, opinion programming, and White House press access have changed political journalism.Why O'Reilly says The O'Reilly Factor was designed to present strong opinions alongside competing viewpoints.How affordability, inequality, municipal grocery stores, and government intervention shape their debate over New York City politics.Why O'Reilly believes technology and partisan media environments are changing how voters understand politics.What running his own media companies taught O'Reilly about editorial independence and control.How his father's final words shaped his thinking about ambition, achievement, and whether he has fulfilled his potential.Timestamped Chapters:[02:57] A Note from JamesJames introduces Confronting America, O'Reilly's career, the political tone of the conversation, and the question he asks Bill about fulfilling

Media Covers Bad NewsJames asks why negative stories often dominate political and economic coverage.[11:50] Playing Devil's AdvocateJames challenges the idea that rising household assets necessarily constitute an exceptional news story.[13:16] Did Opinion Television Change News?James asks whether programs like The O'Reilly Factor helped push television toward more subjective political coverage.[13:51] The O'Reilly Factor as an Op-Ed ShowO'Reilly says the distinction was that his program explicitly identified itself as opinion.[15:32] Trump vs. CNN, MS NOW, and PoliticoJames and O'Reilly discuss the administration's attempt to remove several media organizations from White House access.[16:13] Press Freedom and Media BiasO'Reilly makes his case that political alignment has

Anti-Establishment PoliticsO'Reilly gives his interpretation of the economic frustrations behind Mamdani's support.[20:13] Candidates or Movements?O'Reilly argues that modern elections increasingly represent competing political movements rather than just individual personalities.[22:17] History, Populism, and AuthoritarianismJames asks about lessons from historical authoritarian movements and

lines.[31:27] When Cable News Became an Echo ChamberO'Reilly criticizes the modern tendency to build panels and programming around people who largely agree with one another.[32:08] Did Bill O'Reilly Fulfill His Potential?James asks whether O'Reilly still feels driven by his father's final words.[32:24] “I Don't Know What Else I Gotta Do”O'Reilly says he no longer feels he has another major quest

What does leadership look like when change never seems to stop? In this solo episode of Becoming Unshakable, I'm talking about how leaders can create greater steadiness for themselves and their teams when uncertainty, pressure, and disruption become part of everyday work. Many people are dealing with rapid technological change, organizational uncertainty, heavier workloads, and the feeling that the next disruption is always just around the corner. Leaders may not be able to control those forces, but they can influence how we respond and how our teams experience them. I share some of the thinking behind my new book, The Unshakable Team, including the idea that teams need trust, care, psychological safety, and a stronger understanding of what they can control and influence when everything around them feels unstable. I also cover the Steadiness Reset, a practical five-step process that can help leaders and teams ground themselves before difficult conversations, during challenging meetings, or when emotions run high. There is an important conversation here about recovery. Constant resilience without recovery eventually becomes exhaustion. Teams cannot keep absorbing pressure indefinitely without opportunities to reset, regroup, and regain their footing. Change is not going away. The question is how we lead ourselves and the people around us when the waves keep coming. How are you helping your team find steadiness when so much around them feels uncertain?  

My guest this week is singer-songwriter Kristy Cox and we're chatting about her brand new album 'Winds of Change', due out on October 9th.Kristy explains why this record is her rawest and most personal yet and how, through her long term collaboration with producer Jerry Salley, plus her co-writers on the album, she created a journey that took heartbreak and turned it into hope. We also chat about her background growing up listening to bluegrass and country in Australia, before moving to Nashville when she was offered a record deal. Kristy is also now on the board of the IBMA and is passionate about connecting the  international bluegrass communities around the world and 'putting the I in IBMA'.This was a great conversation.

What happens if Republicans get crushed in November? Political scientist Seth Masket joins me to game out where the GOP goes after a midterm wipeout, and where it could take the rest of us.The polls suggest a blue wave is building, and Republicans have started putting a little distance between themselves and an unpopular president. But Seth's research shows that Democrats over-correct after they lose, while Republicans under-correct, and lately some deny the loss happened at all. So does a big defeat finally break Trump's hold on the party, or do Republicans end up needing him even more?In this episode:The one time Trump's favorability with Republicans actually dropped. It wasn't January 6th or his conviction.Why the window for Republicans to criticize Trump closes soon after November 3rdA Trump endorsement was worth about 16 points in 2022 GOP primariesIs Trump a "Giffen good" for Republican politicians? Seth grades my theory live.Three reasons Republicans stay loyal: primaries, political violence, and policyThe Nikki Haley third of the party that is waiting for Trump to leave the stageCould Rubio or Vance hold together both MAGA voters and traditional Republicans?What Democrats are learning, or not learning, from 2024Why corruption could be Democrats' strongest issue once they have subpoena powerOur midterm predictions: CO-8 and MO-2Seth Masket is a political scientist at the University of Denver and the author of The Elephants in the Room and Learning from Loss.

Fighting one day in the tough Iraqi city of Fallujah, a Marine sergeant decided to put himself at risk in order to get a frightened family to safety. He stepped into a courtyard and spoke quietly for a few minutes with the father. He took time to make sure the kids had water, and the toys his men gave them.Then it was back to the war.Gentleness can be misunderstood. Too often we think, for example, that a man is not masculine if he's gentle.Not true. This Fruit of the Spirit is a real strength, no matter one's gender. But for men, it can be more than that; gentleness can be an asset.Romans 15:7 says, “Therefore welcome one another as Christ has welcomed you, for the glory of God.”No matter where we are, we are to conduct ourselves with a gentle nature. In every encounter, we are to model the love of Christ, to show a damaged world that good is stronger than evil.Let's pray.Lord, you are so gentle with our tangled spirits! In our sin, you look at us with love. Thank you so much for that. In Jesus' name, amen. Change your shirt, and you can change the world!

Are you a control freak? You might think controlling everything is working for you but it's not creating anything. When you are with horses, controlling doesn't really work. You have to be present, you have to trust, and you have to receive. What if you applied those principles to your life? In this episode of Choice, Change and Action, Simone Milasas talks with Alison Cox about what they've learned from riding horses.  Throughout history, horses have always contributed to us. Be with horses. Let them contribute to you. Questions And Tools: "What else is possible?" "What do I need to change here?" "Is this actually working?" "What question can I be? What can I change?" "What can I gain from this?" Tools: Trust you and trust your horse. Ask a question eg "What is going on here?" Trust that you are going to know something in every moment. Flip controlling into receiving. You think controlling everything is working for you but it's not creating anything. Acknowledge where things aren't working, with interesting point of view, and acknowledge what you need to change. Stop looking for the problem. Every single word that you think or speak creates your life. Acknowledge your worth - what has the universe learnt from you? You have to receive. You are continuously learning. Allow the chaos to be. play and find out. fear isn't real. What if you could choose something today that you thought you could never choose? What if you know more than you think and you're actually capable of more if you just give it a try? Let the universe show you what you know. let your body show you what you know.  Trust your body, trust the universe, trust your horse. Be with horses. Let them contribute to you. What would you like to ask for? The universe will always meet you where you are at. It will never give you something you can't handle.   Everywhere in your life that you've asked for something, it's shown up, and you've refused it because it didn't show up the way you thought it should, or the way you thought you could control it, will you destroy and uncreate it? Right and wrong, good and bad, POD and POC, all 100, shorts, boys, creations, bases and beyonds. How much do you create an allergy so you can have an excuse not to choose something? Everything that is, times a godzillion, will you destroy and uncreate it? Right and wrong, good and bad, POD and POC, all 100, shorts, boys, creations, bases and beyonds.

When people are at the center of what we do, we have to keep reimagining what's possible. For organizations committed to serving people well, that means continually asking “what if?” and finding new ways to create meaningful impact. For the 300th episode of Agency for Change, Lyn sits down with Heath Boddy, president of Vetter Senior Living, to talk about building a people-first culture rooted in service, integrity, teamwork, and excellence. Heath shares how Vetter brings its values to life, defines excellence through measurable results, and challenges themselves to keep rethinking the possibilities ahead. As the podcast celebrates its 300th episode, Lyn and Heath announce a big “what if?” of their own and share a glimpse of what's possible when two organizations come together with a shared belief that people matter most. Connect with Heath and Vetter Senior Living at: ·       Website – https://www.vetterseniorliving.com   ·       LinkedIn – https://www.linkedin.com/company/vetter-senior-living 

Have you ever felt that the moment you catch your breath, three new demands are already waiting? Organizational consultant Melissa Swift gives that feeling a name, work intensification, and explains what helps. In this conversation, Lori and Melissa explore: How three years working in London showed Melissa that a shared language does not mean a shared culture What work intensification is: too many tasks in too little time, too many people involved in every decision, and too much emotion at work How AI can quietly erode trust at work, and why peer learning and thoughtful change management matter How to stand out in an AI-saturated job market by naming what you are genuinely good at in simple terms What high-stakes professions teach us about clear communication, and why the people who care most are often the ones who burn out About Melissa: Melissa Swift is the founder and CEO of Anthrome Insight, an advisory firm helping organizations and individuals work more effectively in a fast-changing, technology-driven world.

What Happens After You Hit the Goal?You wanted more inquiries.You wanted more weddings.You wanted higher revenue.You wanted people to know your name.And then one day you look around and realize:Holy shit.It worked.So… now what?In this episode, Jeni talks about a stage of business growth that does not get discussed enough: what happens when the business is successful, but you realize the way you are operating it cannot continue forever.Because success can create an entirely new set of problems.You can have the revenue you wanted and still be exhausted.You can have a packed calendar and secretly dread the weddings on it.You can have a team and still answer every question yourself.You can have more inquiries than ever and still wonder:Do I actually want to run this business this way for the next 10 years?Jeni explains why the next stage of growth is not automatically about doing MORE.Sometimes your next level is bigger.Sometimes it is more profitable.Sometimes it is more premium.And sometimes it is actually simpler.Maybe your dream business is not a $500,000 floral company with dozens of weddings.Maybe it is a $250,000 business with strong margins, 20 incredible weddings, a small team, premium clients, months of breathing room, and enough freedom to be home with your family.The goal is not to blindly keep increasing revenue.The goal is to intentionally design the business you actually want.Start with how the business feelsOne of the first questions Jeni recommends asking is:What gave me the ick?What clients drained you?What venues do you never want to work at again?What services make you resentful?What parts of the business make you feel overwhelmed?What are you doing simply because you have always done it?As your business grows, you earn the ability to create stronger boundaries around what belongs in the next version.You are the business owner.You get to decide.Your next level might require subtractionEarly-stage businesses often grow by adding.More services.More offers.More weddings.More workshops.More products.More marketing platforms.More everything.But mature businesses often grow differently.They subtract.They stop offering things that are not profitable enough.They stop accepting clients that drain them.They stop doing marketing that produces no meaningful return.They stop doing $35 work when that same time and energy could help land a $3,500 wedding.Just because something helped build your business does not mean it belongs in its future.Sometimes something was the bridge.It does not have to be the destination.Stop automatically assuming the next goal is more revenueYou hit $100,000.So now you need $200,000?Then $300,000?Then $500,000?Why?Maybe you want that.Great.But eventually revenue should stop being the only scorecard.Start thinking about:ProfitOwner compensationAverage bookingRevenue per weddingRevenue per working weekendLabor percentagesHours workedTime offFamily timeEnergyCreative fulfillmentMaybe the goal becomes:How do I make MORE from LESS?Instead of booking 10 more weddings, could you increase the average value of the weddings you already have?Your next level may not require more clients.It may require better economics per client.Your role has to evolve tooIn the beginning, you are everything.Florist.Designer.Salesperson.Buyer.Delivery driver.Bucket washer.Bookkeeper.Marketer.Cleaner.Customer service.But eventually, you need to ask:What actually requires ME?Maybe your highest-value role is:Creative directionHigh-level salesClient relationshipsBrand visionStrategyTeachingLeadershipIf the business gets bigger but absolutely everything still needs you, you have not really scaled.You have just gotten busier.Hire for the life you wantDo not only ask:“Where do I need help?”Ask:What would the right help give me back?Friday night?Sunday morning?A CEO day?Time with your kids?Creative space?Less production?Less admin?More energy?The right team should help create the life you are trying to build—not simply allow you to cram more work into it.Protect what you still loveScaling does not mean you need to stop touching flowers.If you love making bouquets, keep making bouquets.If installations light you up, keep installations.If consultations energize you, keep doing them.The goal is not to remove yourself from everything.The goal is to remove yourself from the things that no longer need you—or that you no longer want to own.Your brand needs to evolve tooThe brand that helped you book your first $3,000 wedding might not be the brand that books your first $30,000 wedding.Look at:Your websiteYour portfolioYour languageYour pricingYour minimumsYour offersYour client experienceYour social mediaYour vendor relationshipsDoes your business still represent the person you were when you started?Or does it reflect where you are going?Create spaceSometimes the next level requires space before you know exactly what will fill it.You cannot create the next workshop, premium service, creative direction, or strategic move if every ounce of your capacity is consumed by the current business.Sometimes you need to say:“I'm not doing that anymore.”Even before you have completely filled the space with something new.Space gives you the ability to think.Create.Strategize.And evolve.The dream-business frameworkJeni breaks the next stage of growth into four questions:KEEPWhat is working AND feels good?What do you want more of?CUTWhat is draining, unnecessary, outdated, unprofitable, or no longer aligned?What needs to disappear?CHANGEWhat is working but needs to operate differently?Raise the price.Change the process.Delegate it.Create a boundary.Simplify it.CREATEWhat is missing from the business you actually want?A better team?A CEO day?A new offer?Different clients?More time off?More creative work?More margin?More freedom?Ask yourself thisIf you were rebuilding your business TODAY with everything you now know…Would you build it exactly the same way?If the answer is no, that is your in...

SummaryGene Tavernetti examines the familiar explanation that school improvement is difficult because “it's just the culture.” Drawing on work with schools across the United States and Canada, he argues that culture is not fixed atmosphere—it is the residue of daily decisions, habits, and follow-through.The practical path to change is to change what people do. Gene lays out a focused approach: choose one or two specific instructional practices, support them through consistent coaching, use common look-fors in leadership walkthroughs, and protect the commitments through follow-through. The goal is a shift from isolated classrooms to a shared identity around how “we teach here.”Chapters0:00 — Welcome to Better Teaching0:37 — Why “it's just the culture” becomes an excuse2:13 — Culture is built from daily decisions3:08 — Change behavior before trying to change beliefs4:12 — Make coaching and walkthroughs consistent5:26 — From “I teach here” to “we teach here”6:42 — Protect the culture you want through follow-throughShow NotesGuest/host: Gene TavernettiGene's professional site: tesscg.comGene's books include Teach Fast: Focus, Adaptable, Structured Teaching and Maximizing the Impact of Coaching Cycles.Better Teaching is part of the BE Podcast Network: bepodcastnetwork.comProduction card: Basecamp This podcast sponsored by:The Bell Ringer, a weekly newsletter providing news, tools, and resources on the science of learning, written by education reporter Holly Korbey.

Instead, she makes the case for doubt, dissent, curiosity and collective intelligence. Sue and Margaret explore why leaders are often more interested in learning from failure than success, how organisations become trapped by an obsession with efficiency, and why inspiration alone is never enough to create meaningful change.They discuss the importance of slowing down, asking better questions, listening deeply, and creating environments where people feel safe to challenge ideas. Margaret also shares practical insights from her own creative process, revealing how she develops ideas, writes books, and navigates uncertainty without rushing to easy answers.  You will learn:Why mistakes are often a leader's greatest source of learningThe difference between inspiration and implementationHow friction, challenge and doubt improve decision-makingWhy leaders should ask better questions instead of providing answersThe dangers of prioritising efficiency over creativityHow collective intelligence outperforms individual brillianceThe importance of embracing uncertainty rather than avoiding itPractical ways leaders can build more creative and resilient organisationsKey Quote"The job of a leader is to create the conditions in which great people can do the best work of their lives." About Margaret HeffernanMargaret Heffernan is an entrepreneur, CEO, keynote speaker and bestselling author whose books include Willful Blindness, Uncharted and Embracing Uncertainty.

Democracy asks too. A poem doesn't go looking for answers. It leaves something behind for others to grapple with, and each generation has to decide what democracy will be.The petals that fall to the ground. Every society chooses which stories rise to the surface. Poets pick up the parts that fall and put some wind under them.Belonging becomes theater.

Change is everywhere right now, but the real question is what separates the teams that steady themselves from the teams that spiral. We lean into what we are seeing organizations do well when change is thrust on them, especially when they cannot control the timing or the stakes. One of the biggest patterns: leaders who do not panic. They spend less time reacting, move faster into problem solving, and use any runway they have to plan farther out than the next few weeks. We also get practical about what “doing change” actually looks like. We talk about naming change champions, putting real resources around transformation, and using an impact map to think through every role, every reporting line, and the reactions you can predict before they blow up your rollout. Then we go straight at a post-COVID reality many workplaces are navigating: clearer boundaries, more direct expectations, and honest conversations about whether this is still someone's home. Done with respect, that clarity can be healthy for both the organization and the individual. To close, we bring it down to the personal level with a tool that works in leadership and in life: decision criteria. From job offers to board-level tech choices, a short list of must-haves cuts through emotion and brings back a sense of control, which is exactly what people crave in the middle of change. If you want calmer change management, stronger leadership communication, and a more intentional culture, press play, and subscribe.

Research psychologist Dr. Rachel Kowert comes back to the podcast for a fascinating and updated conversation about kids and gaming, and why so much of what parents hear about video games doesn't necessarily line up with what the research actually tells us. In our conversation, we dig into Rachel's new white paper, Raising Good Gamers, and unpack the research around violent video games, gaming disorder, mental health, and the social, emotional, and skill-building benefits gaming can offer. Rachel also shares her SPACE framework, a practical approach for helping parents move beyond fear and toward curiosity, connection, and collaborative boundaries around their kids' gaming lives. ​ About Rachel Kowert, Ph.D Rachel Kowert, Ph.D is a research psychologist, award winning author, and globally recognized leader in facilitating policy development for more than 15 years through data-driven research focused on mental health and trust and safety in digital games.

Dr. Kowert is the founder of Psychgeist, a multimedia content production studio for the intersection of science and games, which includes Psychgeist YouTube channel (200+ videos), Most Recent Save podcast, and The Psychgeist of Pop Culture and Games book series' published by Play Story Press.

Things you'll learn from this episode  How the conversation around kids, screens, and video games is evolving as research challenges common fears and assumptions Why violent video games aren't directly linked to real-world violence and what “gaming disorder” actually means How increased gaming can sometimes signal underlying mental health challenges or serve as an important coping strategy Why gaming can support friendships, connection, confidence, competency, and executive function skills How the SPACE framework helps parents stay engaged and curious about their child's gaming world Why collaborative, flexible boundaries can support healthier gaming habits while preserving connection and trust   Resources mentioned Dr. Rachel Kowert's website Raising Good Gamers website Games for Change Games for Change on Instagram Games for Change on Facebook Entertainment Software Association (ESA) The Truth About Video Games and Your Child's Physical, Social, and Psychological Well-Being with Dr. Rachel Kowert (Tilt Parenting podcast) A Parent's Guide to Video Games: The Essential Guide to Understanding How Video Games Impact Your Child's Physical, Social, and Psychological Well-Being by Dr. Rachel Kowert Purplicious Cow on CurseForge   Protect your loved ones without spying on them.

CRNA locums pay has been on a steep curve, and curves correct. The internet says 1099 vs W2 CRNA conversion is 50%. Real conversions land at 20 to 25%. And some CRNAs are supervised all week, then trusted to run solo every weekend. Host Joe Rodriguez, CRNA and anesthesia group co-founder, answers your questions in the first About the Rest Office Hours. Locums and new grads. Joe breaks down the three curves that set locum rates (education, locums, and anesthesia group economics) and explains why falling rates don't mean fatter margins for groups. He also makes the case that new grads going straight into locums are entering the most dangerous years of their careers alone. 1099 vs W2 CRNA. The real conversion range, the tax factor everyone misses, and why most CRNAs who go 1099 never go back. Supervision when convenient. A listener asks why the care team model flips from ACT to independent on nights and weekends. Joe explains the two bets behind it. Hospital contracts. Joe covers what happens when contract volume comes in 20% short and the hospital shrugs, and who should control anesthesia contracts. He also walks through how anesthesia RFPs are actually won: on the denominator, by small margins. Plus: the $40K-per-CRNA misclassification trap, and why Joe's own group nearly failed in 2021. Takeaways: Locum rates move on a curve, and curves correct. When the correction comes, anesthesia groups don't keep the difference: revenue guarantees cap their margin, and a competitor underbids at renewal. New grads need two to three years of mentorship, and locum work doesn't provide it. A locum assignment is built to fill a gap on the schedule, not to develop the clinician filling it. 1099 vs W2 CRNA comes down to conversion, tax savings, and risk. Conversion ranges from 16 to 35%. The bigger advantage is tax treatment, conservatively about 10% more of every dollar kept. The risk is misclassification, which has cost groups about $40K per CRNA. Supervision that disappears on nights and weekends reflects convenience, not acuity. The model bets that no one will check and no one will put the contract at risk. Anesthesia RFPs are won on the denominator. Everyone models payer mix and volume; the winner understands service requirements and labor cost, and the margin between winning and losing is small. Every group needs a mission beyond money and an operating margin to protect it. A mission without margin nearly failed in 2021. Change is how the mission survives. _____________ Want more Dr. Joe Rodriguez?

We say we want a better life, better habits, better relationships, and better results. But wanting it isn't enough. In this episode, Trent breaks down the truth most people avoid: you're not stuck, you're repeating the same choices and expecting a different result.

If you're tired of making the same promises and seeing the same results, this is your wake-up call. No more wishing. No more “one day.” It's time to stop talking about it and start being about it. Press play. Don't just listen. Apply it.
