Matt shares data-driven insights from his groundbreaking research, including the "experience paradox," which reveals why so many entry-level jobs now demand prior experience, and what that means for recent college graduates.The conversation delves into the accelerating pace of skill obsolescence, the rise of AI, and how these forces are creating a critical disconnect between what employers need and what education provides. Matt introduces the concept of the "Expertise Upheaval," offering a look at how AI is transforming careers and what skills will make workers more valuable with AI, not just more efficient. He also makes a compelling case for greater accountability in education, using data to show which credentials and programs actually lead to a real return on investment. This episode is a must-listen for anyone seeking to understand the data, trends, and solutions that will shape the workforce of tomorrow.Key Takeaways from this Episode:The Experience Paradox: A deep dive into the data showing that most entry-level jobs now require several years of experience, and the implications for hiring and education.The Pace of Change: Why skills are becoming obsolete faster than ever, and how this is impacting career trajectories and the need for lifelong learning.The "Expertise Upheaval": An exploration of how AI is not just about automation, but about a more profound shift in the skills required to be an expert in any given field.Education-to-Workforce Accountability: How data can be used to hold colleges and credential providers accountable, ensuring that programs lead to real-world outcomes and economic mobility.A New Kind of Workforce: Matt discusses the shift from a "schooled society" to a "learning society," and how we must prepare for a future where learning is a continuous, lifelong process.About Our Guest:Matt Sigelman is the CEO of the Burning Glass Institute, a fully independent, nonprofit research center that works at the intersection of work and learning. Prior to the Institute, he spent 20 years building a private sector data provider (now called Lightcast). Matt is a recognized leader in using big data to shed light on labor market trends, inform policy, and drive economic mobility.

Mike and Kristen dive deep into Michael Bungay Stanier's The Advice Trap, exploring why our natural instinct to give advice actually makes us worse leaders. This episode reveals the uncomfortable truth: your advice isn't as good as you think it is, and constantly offering solutions is damaging your team and overwhelming your schedule. The hosts get painfully honest about their own advice-giving habits while breaking down the three personas of the "advice monster" - Tell It, Save It, and Control It. They explore the psychological rewards we get from playing rescuer (#winsnotwins) and share practical strategies for staying curious longer instead of rushing to solutions. If you've ever wondered why your team keeps coming to you with problems instead of solutions, or why you feel like the only person holding everything together, this episode will help you understand the hidden costs of advice-giving and show you a better way forward.Highlights:Why advice damages organizations by demotivating receivers, overwhelming givers, and limiting team potentialThe three advice monster personas (Tell It, Save It, Control It) and their shared DNA belief: "I'm better than the other person"Understanding #winsnotwins - the short-term rewards that keep you stuck in advice-giving patterns and why recognizing these prizes is key to changeWhy taming your advice monster requires battling between present you and future you (the adult marshmallow test)The TERA framework for psychological safety using Tribe, Expectation, Rank, and Autonomy to create safer conversationsSix "foggy-fiers" that derail problem-solving, from "twirling" (first problem isn't the real problem) to "yarning" (too much storytelling)Moving beyond single questions to strategic coaching combos that uncover real challengesSpecific language patterns for interrupting conversations without damaging relationshipsHow your background affects when and how you should give away power as a leaderMaking coaching a regular interaction instead of formal compliance meetingsLinks & Resources Mentioned:The Advice Trap by Michael Bungay StanierThe Coaching Habit by Michael Bungay StanierDownload Additional Book Resources from MBS Love & Leadership Episode #9: The Coaching HabitWhat Got You Here Won't Get You There by Marshall GoldsmithThe First 90 Days by Michael D.

This episode is sponsored by Lockton, click here to learn more Watch the full video on YouTube - click hereNo one would try to stream a 4K video on a '95 Windows computer—but in the auto industry, we're still trying to lead today's transformation with leadership models built decades ago.That's the hard truth Jan puts on the table in this conversation with Terry Woychowski, President of Caresoft and former GM executive. Together, they unpack what's holding the industry back—and it's not a shortage of technology or talent. It's the culture. It's the leadership.Terry walks through real examples of how legacy systems get in the way—from product specs that haven't been questioned in decades to organizational structures that reward risk avoidance over innovation. He compares that with how Chinese OEMs are approaching development differently. They make faster decisions, rely less on in-house development, and focus on speed and learning rather than perfection. They're not immune to fear, he says, but they don't let it dictate the pace of progress.But this isn't just a teardown of bad habits. Terry zooms in on what good leadership looks like today. It's not command-and-control. It's mission-first, culturally aware, and brutally honest. It's being willing to get "dragged across the hone"—his metaphor for the painful but necessary growth process. Because leaders who avoid discomfort? They stay dull.There's also accountability. Terry learned it early, growing up on a dairy farm, where cows—and their mess—don't wait for permission. You get the job done, period. That same mindset carried him through the plant floor at GM, where he once let loose in a way he thought would end his career, only to be welcomed with applause. Not because he lost his temper, but because he finally spoke the language of the plant.Jan and Terry talk honestly about the cultural gaps that legacy auto still hasn't closed. Technology? Finance? Those are solvable. However, if the leadership culture stays frozen in time, no investment will be enough.In the end, one thing is clear: you can't lead the future of automotive using the same culture that got you here. If the industry wants to survive the disruption ahead, it needs leaders willing to question everything, especially the way things have always been done.Themes discussed in this episode:The need to replace outdated leadership models to compete in the EV eraThe culture gap between Chinese OEMs and traditional automakersWhy true leaders embrace discomfort—and what happens when they don'tThe cultural transformation needed to support EV and software-defined vehicle innovationThe importance of fast decision-making in today's global auto marketWhy cultural alignment matters more than strategy when leading changeWhy the auto industry needs focused leadership amid rising global competitionFeatured guest: Terry WoychowskiWhat he does: Terry J. Woychowski is the President of Caresoft Global, a leading automotive engineering, benchmarking, and consulting firm. At Caresoft, he has played a pivotal role in driving strategic growth, developing next-generation solutions, and mentoring the global leadership team.Terry brings over four decades of automotive experience, including a distinguished career at General Motors, where he held senior leadership roles such as Global Vice President of Program Management and Quality & Vehicle Launch.

"Living as modern humans we are disconnected, out of place and don't belong in the same way as other species""If you're feeling called to do something larger than you - you should follow that"SummaryTodays guest Elspeth Hay experienced a rewriting of all she had known when when one day she was grappling with the frustration that the area she calls home didn't have the ability to create more small scale, localised food systems because they were landlocked by the ocean and surrounded by established Oak forests. Until one day her belief and her story was challenged when she learned that we can eat acorns. From there  stories she'd believed her whole life began to unravel.  Not just about acorns but about the way humans have pattered ourselves to our current day reality.This process led her to write a book titled feed us with trees. The journey of the book creation took her on an ancestral tour from New England USA to the UK, introduced her to indigenous wisdom keepers, gave her the courage to challenge the system we know to be true and hold empathy for the courageous wisdom knowledge holders that have kept nature based skills and interaction alive.Elspeth is a is a wonderful story teller and with this skill alone I'm sure she is one of those humans who we need as the bridge to wherever it is we are headed."Our story is totally made up & doesn't follow any natural laws so we can look to other influences to rewrite it'Loved this?

If you're new to the series or need a powerful reminder of just how capable you are of creating change, this episode is a must-listen.Molly is taking a brief pause this week, making it the perfect opportunity to revisit the core concept that sparked Think Thursdays—how your mindset literally changes your brain.This episode explores one of the most exciting and empowering discoveries in neuroscience: neuroplasticity. It's the science that explains how your thoughts and beliefs influence the physical structure of your brain, ultimately shaping your habits and behaviors.What You'll Learn:How your brain is constantly reshaping itself based on your thoughts and actionsWhy the belief that you can change is essential for rewiring your brainWhat a growth mindset looks like—and how it supports lasting changeWhy old patterns feel so automatic, and how to replace them without willpowerThe neuroscience behind habit formation, including synaptic pruningHow to start shifting your internal dialogue to align with your goalsKey Insight:Your thoughts are not just passive ideas floating in your mind. They are the foundation for the physical structure of your brain. When you change your mindset, you change your brain's wiring. That's not motivational fluff—it's science.If you've ever felt stuck in your drinking habit or frustrated by how hard it is to make a change, this episode will give you both the understanding and encouragement to try again—this time, with your brain on your side.Listen With Intention:Whether your drink of choice today is alcoholic or not, make it a moment to sit with this episode and reflect on the habits you're reinforcing—and the new ones you're ready to build.Additional Resources:Explore Molly's book, Breaking the Bottle LegacyJoin the Alcohol Minimalists private community on FacebookFinal Note:Lasting change doesn't come from gritting your teeth. It comes from training your brain to make the new habit easier than the old one. This episode lays the groundwork for doing exactly that. ★ Support this podcast ★

Bradley shares his push for small modular reactors and the bipartisan momentum behind nuclear innovation. Finally, the two dive into K-12 education, taking on literacy rates, school choice, and why high schools need a complete overhaul to actually prepare students for life after graduation. Whether you're an educator, policymaker, or industry leader, this episode offers practical insights into the policy decisions shaping our future workforce.In this episode:Why one state senator believes not regulating AI may be the smartest moveHow artificial intelligence could help solve labor shortages from childcare to healthcareWhat policymakers are missing about nuclear energy—and why that's about to changeWhy our current education system is setting students up to fail, and what to do insteadHow a wrestling ring, a mother's wisdom, and a literacy-first mindset shaped a political career3 Big Takeaways from this Episode:Regulating artificial intelligence requires caution, context, and a long-term view: Senator Bradley led a legislative study committee on the regulation of AI and ultimately chose not to recommend new regulation, citing the risk of stifling innovation and creating barriers for businesses. Drawing on testimony from sectors like healthcare, public safety, and education, the committee focused instead on building a knowledge base for future legislative action—prioritizing flexibility over rushed policymaking.Meeting future energy demand will require bold thinking and bipartisan cooperation: With AI, data centers, and industry driving massive increases in power needs, Bradley is pushing Wisconsin to embrace nuclear energy as a scalable, clean solution. He outlines current efforts to support small modular reactors, prepare regulatory frameworks, and position the state as a leader in 21st-century energy policy.Education reform must focus on real-world readiness, from literacy to life skills: Bradley calls for a complete overhaul of high school—moving away from rigid grade levels toward personalized, career-connected learning. He also stresses that without strong literacy skills, students can't access opportunity, and that solving academic gaps early is essential to preparing engaged citizens and a capable workforce.Resources in this Episode:Learn more about Senator Julian BradleyLearn about the work of the 2024 Legislative Council Study Committee on the Regulation of Artificial IntelligenceWe want to hear from you!
