The Scrum Master role has quietly evolved, and the industry has not caught up. Kate Megaw and Ryan Smith unpack how the role calcified into a person who runs the events and works through a checklist, when the real job was always to be a change agent and an organizational catalyst. Look at the job market and you see the shift already happening. Scrum Master, Project Manager, Technical Project Manager, Delivery Manager, and Program Manager are being used interchangeably, because the title never fit cleanly on an org chart and the Scrum Guide 2020 move from roles to accountabilities went largely unnoticed.Kate and Ryan wrestle with a hard question. If the title confuses more than it clarifies, is it time to let it go? The word master implies telling rather than facilitating, and the name says nothing about what the person actually delivers. They also push back on the idea that agility is dying, making the case that it is becoming the DNA of healthy organizations instead. The takeaway is simple and a little uncomfortable. Stop defending the label and start demonstrating the impact a person in this role can have.

On today's episode of Change Agents, Andy is joined by Brian Streem, the founder and CEO of Vermeer, a defense tech company with forward operations in Ukraine. He went from using drone technology and Hollywood projects ranging from Steven Spielberg movies, The Fast and the Furious films, and Beyonce music videos to the frontlines of war. This technology lets drones navigate when GPS is jammed, spoofed or gone entirely. Brian pivoted his company into Vermeer in 2018, after the Department of Defense showed strong interest in his team's XR technology, building AR command controlled and visualization tools for unmanned swarms in GPS denied environments.

The Barbault Basket is more than a cosmic event. It is an invitation.In this special episode, I'll explore Barbault's Basket, a major cosmic configuration peaking July 19–21, 2026, and its invitation for spiritual awakening, collective consciousness, social justice, environmental awareness, peace, and conscious participation. This reminds us that awakening is not just about psychic gifts or expanded awareness — it is about bringing higher consciousness into our homes, communities, choices, and shared world.I'm no astrologer, but as a voice for the greater awakening I'm connecting this cosmic moment to my recent Soul Yoga 12 chakra journey, especially the upper chakras and cosmic consciousness, where we begin to understand our interconnectedness and the impact of our choices.This episode asks a powerful question: The Barbault Basket is an invitation of choice. What will be your RSVP?

In today’s episode, Nathan Stuck sits down with Savannah Seydel to unpack what Better Earth is doing to eliminate petroleum-based plastics from our food systems and advance a truly circular economy. Savannah Seydel is Vice President of Sustainability at Better Earth, an Atlanta-based B Corp and compostable packaging provider, where she advances Better Earth's mission to realize regenerative circularity across the foodservice industry through product innovation, education and advocacy, and stakeholder engagement.

This episode was originally recorded on the first weekend of Advent, that season of the Christian calendar when believers all over the world begin preparing their hearts to celebrate the "comings" of the Lord, both His first and second coming. For thousands of years believers waited for Messiah to come, and now thousands of years later we wait for Him to come again. We wait full of thankfulness for what He's done and full of hope that the day will come when our prayers will be answered in full: His kingdom will come and His will will be done on earth as it is in heaven. The focus for this first week of Advent Is hope. We want to let the amazing truth of the incarnation stir us to fresh faith. We want to marvel again that God's eternal Son put on human flesh and became one of us forever.

"Within five years of calling us charlatans, that hospital system was sued for multiple millions of dollars by their participants... You can go from charlatan to change agent fast."Is history about to repeat itself in the health benefits world?My guest this week is Jay Gepfert, Managing Partner of Culpepper RFP. Jay spent his corporate career on the retirement and 401(k) side of the industry, where he witnessed a massive fiduciary paradigm shift 15 years ago. Driven by regulatory changes and a wave of aggressive class-action lawsuits, traditional retirement "brokers" were forced to stop taking undisclosed kickbacks, disclose 100% of their compensation, and legally sign on as fiduciaries for their clients.Now, Jay warns that a “tsunami” is hitting the health insurance space. With major lawsuits filed at the end of 2025 targeting plan sponsors and major brokers over voluntary benefits and PBM conflicts, employers can no longer hide behind the "we've always done it this way" excuse.In this episode, we break down exactly what it means for a benefits consultant to legally act as a fiduciary, how hidden compensation and broker overrides create toxic conflicts of interest, and how Jay's firm helps employers run rigorous, process-driven RFPs to audit their vendors and protect themselves from massive legal liabilities.If you are a CFO, HR leader, or benefits consultant trying to navigate the new era of ERISA compliance and Consolidated Appropriations Act (CAA) enforcement, this episode is a stark wake-up call.Thank you to our 2026 sponsors!ParetoHealth: ParetoHealth empowers midsize employers with a long-term solution to reduce volatility and lower overall health benefits costs.

Jake Adelstein is a journalist and writer, known for works including Tokyo Vice (adapted into an HBO Max series), The Last Yakuza, and Tokyo Noir. In his latest book, The Devil Takes Bitcoin, he pulls back the curtain on crypto's criminal underworld, linking Bitcoin's rise to dark web marketplaces like Silk Road, the collapse of Japan's Mt. Gox exchange, and the figures moving money through it all. It's a deeper look at how organized crime, fraud, and digital currency collided behind the scenes.Change Agents is an IRONCLAD OriginalSponsors: Watch Pressure in theaters starting May 29th.Firecracker Farm Use code IRONCLAD to get 15% off your first order at https://firecracker.farm/Norwood Sawmills:Learn more about Norwood Sawmills and how you can start milling your own lumber at https://norwoodsawmills.com/?utm_source=podcast&utm_medium=ironclad&utm_campaign=ironcladSubscribe on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/change-agents-with-andy-stumpf/id1677415740Subscribe on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3SKmtN55V2AGbzHDo34DHI?si=5aefbba9abc844ed Learn more about your ad choices.

Greetings Glocal Citizens! This week we commemorate Africa Day across the African Diaspora. Reflecting on the journeys of liberation that Black people have endured in trial and triumph, I am ever reminded that those that laid the groundwork will never in my heart, mind or acts have done so in vain. As the pillars of imperialism are finally weakening--though, not without reverting to its tried and tested battle techniques--the new next is taking shape in all manner of action and practice across the globe. So today, as I do in some way every day, I salute us all for staying the course and redirecting the path as necessary on the #PanAfricanProgress mission that is imparative to human evolution and a sustainable existence here on earth. Speaking of existence here on earth and the ways that we inhabit it, I came across my guest this week via a connection that I made last year at the Charter Cities Summit in Nairobi. Remi Adeleke, a former U.S. Navy SEAL and entrepreneur, serves as Chairman and Co-Founder of the Small Farm Cities Africa Resilience Fund, a for-profit venture developing sustainable, agricultural communities to combat poverty and human trafficking. He is actively scaling this model across Africa, including projects in Malawi, Zambia, and other regions, focusing on economic empowerment through infrastructure and land ownership for local farmers. Following a successful career as a Navy SEAL, in 2016 he found himself pursuing a careers in writing, speaking, and acting, including the 2017 franchise film Transformers: The Last Knight, SEAL Team CBS, and the 2022 Universal thriller Ambulance. He served as a consultant on Netflix's 6 Underground and Apple+ TV series Invasion. As an educator he co-founded Muskegon Michigan's OPS Academy which opened to inner city students K-8th grade in Fall of 2022. His story is captured in his HarperCollins bestselling autobiography, Transformed: A Navy SEALs Unlikely Journey From The Throne Of Africa, To The Streets Of The Bronx, To Defying All Odds. As you'll hear in our conversation, Remi is also the founder of Kejo Wear a brand changing negativity to positivity one shirt at a time and where he is marrying this social entrepreneurial enterprises with activism; a portion of proceeds go toward supporting efforts to end human trafficking.

Episode 224: Community Health Workers Dr. Arreaza: Today we will discuss a topic that, frankly, every single person listening, whether you're a medical student, a resident, a nurse, a family doctor, or any primary care provider, needs to really understand. We're talking about community health workers (CHWs). We are joined by our stellar medical student; you may be familiar with her voice from previous episodes about insomnia. Moira, welcome, please introduce yourself.  Moira: I want to be upfront about why Community Health Workers matter to you specifically. If you've ever felt frustrated that your patient with uncontrolled diabetes keeps missing appointments because they can't get a ride, or that your heart failure patient was readmitted because nobody checked whether they could afford their medications, then you already understand the problem that CHWs are designed to solve. Dr. Arreaza: We're going to give you the definition of a CHW, the evidence behind their effectiveness, how they fit into your care team, the return on investment, and practical steps for integrating them into your practice. We have pulled information from a lot of peer-reviewed sources, and we want to share them with you. So, Moira, let's start with the basics. What exactly is a community health worker? Moira: Great question, and it's one that even literature struggles with, because there are so many titles for this role. Community Health Worker is an umbrella term that encompasses more than 20 different titles including outreach workers, promotores or promotoras de salud, community health representatives, lay health workers, peer educators, patient navigators, and many more. The American Public Health Association defines CHWs as frontline public health workers who are trusted members of or have an unusually close understanding of the communities they serve. Arreaza: And that trust is so important in health care. CHWs are not physicians. They are not nurses. They do not diagnose or prescribe. But they are like a bridge connecting the medical environment, social services, and the community to reduce gaps in healthcare delivery.  Moira: Exactly. In the United States, the role was formally recognized in the 2010 Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, which includes several sections highlighting the key roles CHWs play in achieving important goals of healthcare. ________________ References:  Aguerrebere, M., Rodríguez-Cuevas, F.

A new layer of AI infrastructure is emerging as Cursor, OpenAI, Anthropic, and Microsoft all push beyond models into the runtime environments that make agents useful. NLW explains why “harness-as-a-service” may become one of the defining categories of the agent era, how it changes what builders can create, and why the next wave of agentic apps may come from renting the runtime instead of assembling every piece from scratch.

Anny Jenkins, MSN, RN, grew up in a small, rural town in West Virginia, the first nurse in her family. Her father, a fireman who everyone in their community knew by name, showed her what it looked like to drop everything and help people. That instinct led her to nursing, though the road was long and nonlinear. She began as an LPN, earned her associate degree from Blue Ridge Community and Technical College, then returned to school during the height of COVID in 2022 to complete her BSN at Western Governors University, where she was honored as a commencement speaker for her own graduating class. She earned her MSN in 2024 and is now pursuing her doctorate, with a clear purpose: to bring advanced nursing education back to the rural communities that need it most.  She believes that you can't be what you can't see and strives to set an example for nurses to achieve more than they might think they can. This hit home for her when, on the verge of leaving nursing altogether, Anny attended a Washington, D.C. conference hosted by the Black Nurse Collaborative and found herself in a room with 250 Black nurses and advanced-degree holders. It was the first time she had ever experienced that and it was a lightbulb moment. Today, she serves as Executive Secretary of the Black Nurse Collaborative, chairs the WV Nurses Association Membership Committee, and travels the Eastern Panhandle recruiting the next generation of nurses. Her message is simple and urgent: get involved, use your voice, and remember that you are more than your title.    For more information on the podcast bundles, visit ANA's Innovation Website at: https://www.nursingworld.org/practice-policy/innovation/education.

Most leaders want change, but we often avoid the one place it has to start. Truth. In this encore presentation of our conversation with David Johnson, we challenge the instinct to jump straight to vision and instead ground ourselves in reality. We explore why leaders struggle to be fully transparent, how avoiding hard truths slows everything down, and what it really takes to move people through resistance. We walk through how to create momentum with early wins, how to focus on the people who are willing but waiting, and why transformation is not about tearing things down but building something stronger. This is a conversation that shifts how we think about change. When we face where we are with clarity and lead with honesty, we create the conditions for real progress and lasting results. Key Takeaways: Reality First – We learn why honest assessment is the foundation of effective change. Build Momentum – We see how early wins create energy and forward movement. Transparency Wins – We understand how openness builds trust and engagement. Focus the Middle – We learn how to influence the majority who are undecided. Change Creates Value – We discover how transformation strengthens entire systems.

361: 5 Reasons Your Professional Development Isn't Working (Megan Joseph)Episode SummaryMost nonprofit leaders are spending on professional development - and still not seeing results. The workshops get attended, the boxes get checked, and the notebook sits on the shelf. In this episode, Megan Joseph, Founder of Impact Launch, makes the case that the problem isn't effort or intention, it's strategy. Drawing on eight years of working hands-on with organizations across the country, she identifies the five reasons PD consistently fails to deliver: disconnected from strategy, scattered and episodic, reactive instead of preventative, aimed at the wrong problems, and lacking the leadership support to translate learning into lasting change. Megan offers a practical framework for measuring real ROI through behavioral change and organizational outcomes - not attendance or satisfaction surveys - along with clear action steps leaders can take in the next 60–90 days. Listeners will walk away with better questions, a sharper PD lens, and one guiding principle: define what success looks like before you spend a dollar.About MeganMegan Joseph is the Founding Director of Impact Launch, a collective of social impact practitioners who partner with nonprofits, philanthropy, and local government to design and implement effective organizational, systems, and community change. Impact Launch supports leaders across leadership capacity building, equity-centered initiatives, strategic planning, and expert facilitation - and to date has worked with over 40 organizations, impacted more than 50,000 teams and communities, and developed over 1,700 leaders through its Radical Transformational Leadership program. Before launching Impact Launch, Megan spent 20 years as a nonprofit leader and practitioner, gaining hands-on experience across nearly every role a mission-driven organization requires - from executive leadership, coaching, and fundraising to the behind-the-scenes work she describes as “mastering the art of hummus procurement.” She has worked across philanthropy, social services, criminal justice, homelessness, economic opportunity, education, and public health, and brings that full range of lived experience to every engagement - grounded in the belief that everyone, regardless of title, has the capacity to lead.ResourcesMegan Joseph on LinkedInImpact Launch — impactlaunch.orgBook: Radical Transformational Leadership: Strategic Action for Change Agents by Dr. Monica SharmaBook: Clear and Compelling: Communication Strategies for Big Thinkers with Bold Ideas by Salvatore Manzi — past guest on Episode 322Follow Your Path to Nonprofit Leadership — and please leave a review!Learn more about the leadership resources at Armstrong McGuire
