Podcasts about Changing Times

Are you still managing your career the way you did 5 years ago?Today we're talking about why taking ownership of your career is no longer optional -- but critical in the changing world of work.Because the way most people have historically managed their careers doesn't hold up in the current landscape. In the past, most people only actively thought about their careers when they were ready for a new challenge or wanted to change roles. Some were forced to consider ‘what's next' due to redundancy, burnout or changes in their personal situation.But in today's rapidly changing environment shaped by AI, geopolitical uncertainty and the evolving future of work, this traditional, reactive approach is no longer enough.As a high-performing leader, the risk is clear. To futureproof your career, you need to be more strategic about how you manage it. This requires you to plan ahead on an ONGOING basis -- rather than waiting to respond when change is forced on you. In this episode, I'm sharing 5 signs taking ownership of your career is essential in changing times and how to build sustainable, long-term career success.You'll learn:The biggest career challenge I'm seeing with senior leaders right now -- and the ONE shift to clarify your long-term directionWhy self-doubt is on the rise right now and the reframe you need to build confidence in the current climateThe most common mistake leaders make when communicating their value -- and how to intentionally position yourself for the opportunities you WANTWhy relying on managers or performance reviews to drive your development is no longer enough -- and what to do insteadHow to take a strategic approach to your development and keep your skills relevant in changing times So hit play NOW -- and let's dive in!Thanks for listening.

Change can be exciting, but it can also leave you feeling like the ground is constantly shifting beneath your feet. A new job, changing relationships, family challenges, uncertainty in the world, or simply trying to keep up with a rapidly changing culture can create stress and anxiety. When everything around you feels unpredictable, Isaiah 33:6 offers a powerful reminder: God Himself is your stability. You don't have to predict every change or have every answer before you can move forward. God's character doesn't change even when your circumstances do. While the world may offer conflicting advice and plenty of reasons to panic, God promises to provide the wisdom, knowledge, and strength you need for whatever is in front of you. When you make God your ultimate treasure, you can face changing times with confidence because your foundation isn't changing with your circumstances. Highlights How to find stability when your work, relationships, or circumstances are constantly changing Why God's unchanging character provides confidence in uncertain times What Isaiah 33:6 teaches about God's provision of wisdom, knowledge, and salvation How relying on God can help you navigate challenges you've never faced before Understanding what it means to have “the fear of the Lord” How the Holy Spirit provides peace and stability in the middle of change Practical questions to help you slow down, reconnect with God, and seek His wisdom Want more encouragement throughout your week?

Full Transcript Below: Find Stability in Changing Times By: Whitney Hopler Bible Reading:“And he will be the stability of your times, abundance of salvation, wisdom, and knowledge; the fear of the Lord is Zion’s treasure.” – Isaiah 33:6, ESV Right now, I’m leading a project at work to increase the visibility of our university center’s website content in artificial intelligence search results. For years, my focus was on traditional SEO – optimizing our pages for classic search engines. While those traditional methods are still important, we’re currently living through a massive communications revolution. People are moving away from traditional online search. They’re increasingly using AI tools to find online content. Being on the cutting edge of change is exciting, but it’s also stressful. The best practices for AI visibility are evolving as AI evolves, so my team and I must adapt to constant change. While I lead this effort, I’m grateful to God for being my stability. I know I can always rely on God’s unchanging strength to help me with whatever I need in these rapidly changing times. What kind of changes are you dealing with in your own life right now? Maybe you’re going through a change at work, in your relationships, or with something else that’s important to you. Even dealing with all the uncertainty of events in the news can be stressful. It’s easy to feel overwhelmed when you’re dealing with lots of change happening around you. But you don’t need to worry about whether or not you’ll be able to manage change well if you rely on God as your source of stability. Isaiah 33:6 promises that God himself will be your stability in your changing times. When everything around you seems uncertain, God remains completely reliable. This verse also describes how God will give you stability by providing an “abundance of salvation, wisdom, and knowledge.” If you look to the world for answers in changing times, you’ll often find conflicting opinions and panic. But if you look to the Lord, he will generously pour out the wisdom and knowledge you need to manage change well. If you face a problem at work that you’ve never encountered before, God will help you solve it. If you’re trying to parent a child through a challenging season, God will teach you how to do so well. You don’t have to try to predict where all the change around you will lead, because you‘re connected to God, who leads you well because he loves you. Finally, Isaiah points out that “the fear of the Lord is Zion’s treasure.” In the Bible, the fear of the Lord doesn’t mean being afraid of God. Instead, the fear of the Lord means being in awe of who God is so you’re inspired to relate to God with reverence. When you make the Lord your ultimate treasure, you realize that while your circumstances in this world can change quickly, God’s character never changes. You don’t have to be stressed by all the change around you when you remember that the Holy Spirit lives inside you, offering you a strong and peaceful stability in the middle of change. Intersecting Faith & Life: As you consider how God gives us stability in these changing times, reflect on these questions: In what area of your life right now – such as at work, or in your family – are you feeling the most stress because of a change that’s happening? How does the truth that God promises to be your stability give you the confidence to trust God to help you with the challenges you’re currently facing? Think back to a past season of your life when you went through a major change. How did God’s Holy Spirit guide you through it, and how can remembering that give you confidence today? How can you slow down this week to take the time you need to connect with the Holy Spirit and receive an abundance of wisdom and knowledge for managing change well? Isaiah mentions that the fear of the Lord is a treasure. How can you look for God’s wonder in your daily life so you’ll be inspired with a sense of awe that will help you relate to God with reverence?

So many businesses are in flux struggling to keep pace with exponentially revolutionary technologies, like generative AI, and the people they employ are in the same spin cycle with them.  How do they work through this cataclysmic period?  According to Steve Reiner, author of “Business Changes Fast, People Change Slow: A Leadership Guide to Accelerating Organizational Change and Building a Competitive Advantage,” it all starts from the top.  The leader of the company and upper- level executives have to effectively and consistently communicate the goals and objectives of the company and how all of this change will lead to better results which accrue to the benefit of all the people in the organization.  It is not an easy thing to do,but must be done with a plan over a period of time, so as not to disrupt the cohesion of the organization.  It’s a freewheeling conversation which will drive home the points Steve makes in his book.

David Osman of IRF is joined by Chris Watling, the Founder, CEO & Chief Market Strategist at Longview Economics. ----more---- In this podcast, Chris Watling explains how the A.I. investment boom is impacting on the US economy and elsewhere. He discusses the underlying trends in income and consumption with reference to the wealth-effect of the A.I.-driven rise in the US stock market. He points out how US economic growth appears to be broadening in response to the credit cycle and the industrial cycle. Chris discusses the outlook for inflation, with particular reference to the current geopolitical concerns and the rise in energy costs. He then assesses the likely differences in the monetary policy responses in Europe, the US and Japan.

This leads into a discussion about the outlook for the US dollar. Then, in conjunction with his view on the prospects for the world economy, Chris sets out some of his key global strategy recommendations for asset allocations in the Bond, Equity and Commodity markets, including his views on several of the most important emerging markets.   Prior to founding LongView Economics in 2003, Chris Watling was the European Economist and Strategist at Cazenove where he developed his proprietary Risk Appetite Gauge Models, which are also known as “RAG” Models.

Last weekend saw the symbols of Christianity used in different acts of protest. At the 'Unite the Kingdom' rally, organised by far-right activist Tommy Robinson, crosses and posters saying ‘Christ is King' were held aloft. Some called for a return to a 'Christian Britain.' At the same time churches took part in 'A Million Acts of Hope', sharing stories about the people in their communities who help the elderly or refugees, the people who run food banks or community gardens, arguing that hope is louder than hate. In these seemingly polarised times, Jonathan Thomas speaks to guests from our four nations to give their perspectives. What is driving people to take to the streets? What are people so frustrated about and what can bring people together? Jonathan is joined by author and broadcaster Krish Kandiah, founder of The Sanctuary Foundation, a charity supporting refugees and vulnerable families. Peter Lynas, UK Director of the Evangelical Alliance, joins from Northern Ireland. Faith Jarvis, host of the 'Faith Speaks Louder' podcast and minister at Church on the Move joins from Wales. From Scotland, Jonathan is joined by Kenny Innes, pastor at Falkirk Vineyard Church. He's also the host of the TheoDisc podcast, and teaches at WTC, a theological college with locations across the UK.

Angela Finlay is a Chief Human Capital Strategist, former CHRO, educator, and author of Skill Stacking: Taking Ownership of Your Career in Changing Times. With over 30 years leading talent strategy across Fortune 150 companies and fast-growing organizations, she helps professionals and leaders rethink what it takes to build a resilient career in a rapidly shifting world. Angela also teaches Leadershipand Human Capital Management at the graduate level, including at Columbia University, where she brings real-world clarity to the future of work. Through her Skill Stacking framework, Angela equips individuals and organizations to move beyond outdated career paths and resume thinking. Instead of waiting to be developed, she challenges people to take ownership of their growth by intentionally building capabilities that create opportunity, mobility, and long-term relevance. In a world shaped by AI, disruption, and constant change, her message is clear: careers are no longer managed for you. They are built by you. Angela Finlay Vroom Vroom Veer Summary Jeff welcomes guest Angela Finlay and they laugh about the rough tech start to the session. Jeff prompts Angela to talk about what she's excited about. Angela describes her current roles: fractional and interim CHRO/HR leader for small- to mid-sized businesses, college-level teaching (including work with Columbia University and Fairleigh Dickinson), and a passion project — her book titled Skill Stacking, Taking Ownership of Your Career in Changing Times. She frames her book's premise: people don't need to “start over,” they can reconfigure and combine existing skills — an evolution rather than a revolution. Jeff and Angela briefly discuss historical job-displacement fears (Jeff mentions the example of a job to pick up horse poop) and Angela recounts a podcast episode she'd heard about the transcontinental railroad and the recurring nature of job-displacement panic in society. Jeff asks about Angela's background. Angela says she attended about seven schools by high school because her father worked in the newspaper industry and the family moved often; she learned to “reemerge” in new places. In high school she intentionally pushed herself out of her comfort zone (played field hockey on a losing team, joined activities) and learned to try uncomfortable things. Jeff shares a personal anecdote about his mother buying clothes for a freshman dance and how that changed his presentation. Angela mentions putting her son in a uniform/blazer changed his demeanor. Angela describes applying to many colleges; she unexpectedly received a full scholarship to Fairleigh Dickinson and originally intended speech pathology but switched to accounting (in part because her father was an accountant). She took a job in public accounting, found the work (manual ledger work, calculators printing on paper) tedious, and left a cubicle job after about six months. Her manager had been put in charge of HR and offered it to her — she accepted, taught herself about performance evaluations via library research, and began building HR capability despite feeling underqualified. Jeff observes that “figuring things out” is a valuable skill. Angela warns about over-reliance on instant help (Alexa) and the loss of productive struggle. They note chat AI tools are often very positive/encouraging; Jeff gives a brief anecdote of using AI to check hardware compatibility for an old computer and the AI correctly telling him “no.” Angela traces her career: roughly eight to nine years in public accounting, then head of HR at another firm, then about ten years with a Japanese conglomerate, Mitsui. She describes cultural differences at the Japanese company: relationship-building, the “ringy” process (needing consensus from many people), and the need to engage in non-work conversation before work talk. She shares a story about a code-entry error that produced multiple memos and made her feel like she was living an “Office Space” moment. Jeff and Angela discuss how office rhythms and politeness differ across cultures and organizations. Angela says later she moved to a community bank CHRO role in Brooklyn; when the bank was sold in the pandemic she reassessed and moved toward fractional/interim CHRO work and teaching — leveraging her experience going into companies during transitions. She mentions accounting-firm sales training early in her career and that she's “dangerous” at selling herself; also ties her teaching to early acting lessons and “interacting” skills. They turn to the book and the skill-stacking framework. Angela explains the idea of inventorying and intentionally categorizing one's skills instead of assuming you have no skills. She outlines categories in her stack model: Supportive skills: foundational expertise (examples she names include accounting and employment law). Tactical skills: execution skills — getting things done, project management, time/task management, resource allocation. Adaptive skills: ability to pivot, learn from feedback, take feedback constructively rather than fight it. Complementary skills: people-related abilities and emotional intelligence (EQ) — empathy, relationship-building (she gives a vivid hospital anecdote where a staffer's comforting, practical human response mattered more than clinical intervention). Knowledge-seeking: ongoing learning and curiosity, the polymath concept and making connectors among different domains. Jeff and Angela discuss AI: Angela uses AI in her work but notes it tends to be optimistic and encouraging and may not tell her when an idea is a bad one. Jeff recounts the story about AI warning him not to plug a CPU into an incompatible system. They discuss limits of AI and nuance: Angela emphasizes the human ability to read subtext, in-person dynamics, and emotional cues in organizations — things she believes AI can't replicate. Jeff and Angela also discuss image-generation tools: Angela has experimented with them, found mixed results (about “forty percent” success in her words), and recounts trying to generate an image for a white paper and getting irrelevant outputs (a “rose” instead of the intended interconnected GROWING acronym). Angela links this back to knowledge-seeking and prompting skill development. Angela says she's developing a free app that will let people upload resumes to visualize their skill stacks; she invites listeners to get on the list. She gives her contact info: the website stackingyourcareer.com, LinkedIn (Angela Finlay), and a YouTube channel called Stacking Your Career where she posts videos about the concepts. Jeff repeats the site and they discuss audiences and career planning briefly: Jeff references the FIRE movement (financial independence/retire early) as context for needing ways to make money; Angela stresses building and tracking transferrable skills so people can pivot across a long career span, mentioning the idea of a “sixty year career” and the U-shaped curve of happiness (listeners are told people burn out or are bored after many years and should plan to pivot). The interview wraps up with Jeff thanking Angela for the conversation and inviting her back. Angela agrees. Jeff jokes about “skill building” to end the recording. Tim Paige's outro thanks listeners, points them to the show notes at vvveer.com (transcribed as “v v veer dot com / triple v v double e r dot com”), and signs off. Connections Website

Using a vivid real-life experience as a foundation, she unpacks how “open and closed doors” operate in both business and life—revealing that not every opportunity remains available indefinitely.

Pastor Luke talks about how the resurrection changes everything and how there is beauty in the brokenness and scars as Christ puts us back together. Scripture reading: John 20:19-23.

The conversation dives into whether Yankees fans have become too quick to boo, sparked by a debated moment involving Cal Raleigh and the perception of crowd reactions. What actually counts as booing and are fans today more critical than ever, or is it just part of the modern sports experience? Evan and Tiki explore how fan behavior has evolved over generations, comparing today's high priced, high expectation environment to the past when legends like Mickey Mantle were treated differently. They also break down early season overreactions, player struggles, and the fine line between passion and impatience in one of sports' most demanding markets.

In the story of Wicked, there's a powerful moment when we see how easily someone can be labeled "wicked" so others can feel justified in calling themselves good. It's a reminder that our worldview shapes how we define right and wrong — and ultimately how we make decisions. From the earliest pages of Scripture to the daily choices we face now, the tension between good and evil is real, and recognizing it clearly matters. The question is not just what we believe, but how those beliefs guide our future decisions. Today on the Power of After Show, we're talking about why defining your worldview — and aligning it with your core values — is essential for clarity, courage, and confidence in your next steps.

There are times when the world feels unsteady, when the ground beneath us seems to shift, and we find ourselves simply needing a place to rest. In this seventh Gentle Friday gathering, we come together around the warm hearth of community to do just that—nothing more, nothing less.We begin by checking in with three words, feeling the collective pulse of where we are. From there, we explore the deeper meaning of destiny, not as a fixed story written by outside forces, but as something shaped by the very way we hold the conversation of our own lives. Drawing on the beautiful reflections of poet David Whyte, we consider how a simple shift in perspective—a trim tab adjustment—can alter our entire course.Together, we share what is keeping us grounded: the rising sap of early spring, the comfort of astrology's larger cycles, the poems that remind us we are the captains of our own souls. We close with a card from The Flower Speaks oracle, where the Cosmos reminds us that honest self-expression and creativity are our garments of freedom. This is a space for anyone seeking a moment of quiet, a sense of connection, and a reminder that we are all, in our own way, the medicine.If this soul-nourishing conversation speaks to you, please subscribe and join us each week for more explorations into plant wisdom, personal transformation, and the healing power of community.

Become a herbalist → https://bit.ly/HerbalProgram There is a particular kind of tiredness that arrives in late February. Not the bone-weariness of December, but something softer—a deep, watery stillness that asks us to wait just a little longer. On this Gentle Friday, we gathered as a community to sit with that feeling. We checked in with three-word check-ins, shared what we're carrying, and explored the tender place between winter and spring.In the Chinese five-element system, this is the liminal space between the deep, reflective waters of winter and the rising, green wood of spring. It is a time for wearing our “patient hat,” for planning the steps but not yet taking them. It is a moment to ask: what seeds are we meant to nurture, and how do we bear the discomfort of not knowing?We sat with a reading from David Whyte on the art of beginning, which asks us to first clear away the clutter and find our way back into our bodies. We talked about the wisdom of the bear—the original herbalist in many traditions—and how dreaming of this powerful animal might signal a deep connection to plant medicine.And then, the plant spirit card we pulled was Pomegranate. Its message was one of fertility—not just of the body, but of the soul. It asks us which dreams we are being called to nurture, and to trust that the Great Mother will support us in that nurturing. It is a reminder that our blood, like the ocean, is a primal water, connecting us to the source of all life.If you are feeling the pull to nurture a new dream, or simply need support in the slow, patient work of this in-between season, this conversation is for you. We are pack animals, after all, meant to co-regulate and find our way together.In this episode, we explore:The seasonal transition from Water to Wood and how it shows up in our bodies.Community check-ins and the power of naming how we truly feel.A reading on the art of beginning from David Whyte.Bear medicine and the role of dreams in herbalism.A plant spirit card pull: Pomegranate and the courage to nurture our deepest dreams.Gentle self-care practices for nervous system regulation during times of change.

The Supreme Court struck down Donald Trump's sweeping tariffs on Friday, ruling 6–3 that they vastly exceed anything federal law allows a President to do. It was a massive loss for a signature component of Trump's economic agenda, and a coalition of liberals and conservatives on the court agreed that the statute invoked to impose these tariffs was never intended to be wielded in this fashion. The 6 disagreed emphatically as to the reasoning. The dissenters were Big Mad. On this week's Amicus, Dahlia Lithwick and Mark Joseph Stern unpack the rationale behind the decision, and the implications for those seeking a remedy. And they ask what to make of this massive loss from a court that has yet to truly tell this President “no.” Then, the press clause of the First Amendment, a once-cherished constitutional right, has fallen victim to neglect and sabotage in recent years, taking a back seat to the more vaunted love affair with individual “free speech.” But, as recent developments—including the arrest of journalist Don Lemon and the heavy-handed interview-spiking “guidance” of late night host Stephen Colbert—illustrate, the freedom of the press is no slam-dunk when it comes to saving democracy in Trump's America. Dahlia speaks with First Amendment scholars Sonja West (University of Georgia) and RonNell Andersen Jones (University of Utah) about the health of the press clause and the themes in their book, The Future of Press Freedom: Democracy, Law, and the News in Changing Times. They trace the ways in which the framers viewed press freedom as a core, structural “bulwark of liberty,” and why the Supreme Court has increasingly treated it as a neglected companion to free speech rights; leaving weakened and fragile protections for news gathering. The conversation contrasts Trump's first-term rhetorical delegitimization of the media with a second-term shift toward tangible actions: access restrictions, funding cuts, agency leverage, and selective regulatory pressure.Want more Amicus?

Become a herbalist → https://bit.ly/HerbalProgram There are weeks when the world feels like a windstorm, rattling the frames of our carefully placed lawn furniture. There are Februaries that press upon us with their damp dark, asking us to stay underground a little longer, to wait. In this fifth episode of Gentle Fridays, we gather not to fix, but to be. We come together to practice the art of rest—not as indulgence, but as a foundational act of healing and preparation.

There is a kind of solace that arrives not as an answer, but as a deeper question. It finds us when we sit still enough to feel the weight of what we're holding—the fear alongside the hope, the weariness next to the resilience. This fourth Gentle Friday is an invitation into that kind of spaciousness.Together, we arrive just as we are. We breathe into the quiet, we name the mixed-bag feelings in the chat (sad and soulful, curious and concerned, hopeful and heavy), and we remember that holding complexity is itself a sign of deep resilience. We explore the teaching that peace begins as an inside job, inspired by the vision of walking monks and their quiet procession across the country.Ashley offers a reading from David Whyte's Consolations on the word solace—not as an escape, but as a way of asking the beautiful question in unbeautiful moments. We then turn to the plants, our faithful allies, for support. From the everyday ritual of chamomile tea to the nerve-repairing wisdom of ginkgo and the soothing, polysaccharide-rich infusion of marshmallow root and rose, we share the tangible ways we tend our own nervous systems. We practice a 478 breathing technique together, a simple tool for regulation.———— MY ONLINE COURSES

In this episode, I explore the idea of robustness—what it means to stay steady, rooted, and responsive in the face of challenge. From a seasonal and herbal perspective, robustness is a measure of health: not the absence of difficulty, but our capacity to meet life as it is without losing our center.Winter is a time that naturally asks us to slow down, turn inward, and build reserves. Drawing on lessons from nature and community, I reflect on how resilience is shaped through challenge, vulnerability, and connection rather than isolation or hardening.In this conversation, I talk about how robustness can be cultivated through simple practices, relationships, and plant medicine—especially during winter, when our systems need extra support.In this episode, I explore:- What robustness is and why it matters for mental and physical health- How resilience is built by meeting challenge rather than avoiding it- Lessons from nature about strength, adaptability, and seasonal cycles- Community and co-regulation as foundations of collective robustness- Quiet winter practices like candle gazing to help organize thoughts- Singing, humming, and vocal toning to calm the nervous system- Staying connected to nature as a source of steadiness and strengthHerbal allies I discuss for supporting robustness and resilience include:- Licorice root – a deeply nourishing adaptogen for building reserves- Motherwort – a comforting herb for the heart during distressI also touch on nourishment beyond herbs, including sunflower oil, and how fats and oils support the skin, nervous system, and overall vitality during the colder months.This episode is an invitation to think about robustness not as pushing through or toughening up, but as the ability to remain present, connected, and supported—especially in times that feel uncertain or demanding.

Sometimes, the world asks us to hold more than we thought possible. In these changing times, how do we stay rooted, regulated, and connected to our own sense of strength?Welcome to Gentle Fridays. This is a space of quiet gathering, a co-regulatory container for our collective nervous systems. Together, we practice the ancient, mammalian art of finding calm alongside others—through breath, shared silence, and honest check-ins.In this first session, we explore the concept of robustness—the health found in meeting the world with a vulnerable and firm presence. We share simple, grounding practices for daily life: vocal toning for release, candle gazing for a wandering mind, and the protective ritual of body oiling. We also discuss plant allies like motherwort for the heart, passionflower for the unraveling grip, and the elemental medicine of sea salt.We close with a message from the plant spirits, drawing the Sunflower card—a reminder that true leadership and radiance begin within, especially when we feel our light is dim.Join me, Ashley Elenbaas, a clinical herbalist, as we tend to the body, mind, and spirit through plant medicine and shared humanity. This is a practice of resilience, a return to the quiet center from which we can rejoin the fray.In this episode, we explore:The science and soul of co-regulation and nervous system support.Grounding practices for overwhelm: toning, candle gazing (trataka), and body oiling.Herbal allies for the moment: motherwort, passionflower, and sea salt.A community check-in and a plant spirit reading for collective insight.Resources:The book referenced is Consolations by David Whyte.Learn more about my work at Sky House Herb School: http://skyhouseherbs.com/ If this space offered you solace or strength, please subscribe.
