Iain Thomas is a poet, author, and the Chief Innovation Officer at Sounds Fun—an advertising and creative agency that he co-founded with the belief that human creativity could be enhanced, rather than diminished, with the help of AI. It's a realization that actually began to dawn on Iain a few years prior, after his mother died. He wasn't sure how to explain death to his children, so he turned to an early version of ChatGPT for help—and was so impressed by the poetry of its responses that he came away convinced of AI's immense potential as a thought partner for his creative work. On this episode, Iain talks about using AI to make more space for the creative parts of your work, and why, in a world where everyone has access to the same tools, it's never been more important to lean into the skills, context, and experiences that make each of us most unique—and most human.Learn more about Sounds Fun soundsfun.co~ ~ ~Working Smarter is brought to you by Dropbox Dash—the AI universal search and knowledge management tool from Dropbox.

EPISODE 228 In my previous blog post entitled, The New Paradigm of the 4 Cs, I introduced the 4 C's of (1) Connection; (2) Cooperation; (3) Collaboration; and (4) Co-Creation, that are the new world paradigm for building meaningful personal and business relationships that shape the present and the future. In this podcast we go deeper on the concept of Connection. Connection begins the process. Connection is the foundation of meaningful relationships. How can you practice Connection of the 4C's in your own life? Without connection, cooperation feels mechanical, collaboration feels forced, and co-creation becomes impossible. When we cultivate genuine connection, we unlock the possibility of deeper, richer, and more transformative relationships as the “Power of We” and the new world paradigm of the 4C's. Experiencing, acknowledging and embracing Connection creates a positive impact in your own life and in the lives of those you connect with.

Today's episode is a little different— because instead of just talking about business models, we're walking through them in real time.While in Chicago, we spent time with Dana Fountain, visionary beauty entrepreneur, author of The Beauty Blueprint, and founder of Chicago's largest bridal beauty agency, Pin Me Up Chicago. She's built 7 unique salon concepts, each designed around the stylists who call them home.In this episode, Dana takes us on a live tour through her salon concepts and her wedding/event venue, Row 24. Along the way, we talk about collaboration, partnerships, and what it really means to build spaces where stylists can stay, grow, and thrive.KEY TAKEAWAYS:
On this episode of Crazy Wisdom, Stewart Alsop sits down with Leo Guinan to talk about the Manhattan Project for Human Potential, his vision of AI as a tool for personal agency, and the Bottega model inspired by the Medici workshops as a way to reimagine networks, mastery, and transformation. The conversation moves through themes of exponential versus linear growth in the economy, the decline of manufacturing in Ohio, China's rise through complexity and control of supply chains, the dangers of time violence and information asymmetry, and the potential of prediction markets to reshape politics and business. Leo also shares his creative project Hitchhiker's Guide to the Future, which he's building as a group art experiment on Substack — you can find it at hitchhikertothefuture.substack.com.Check out this GPT we trained on the conversationTimestamps00:05 Stewart introduces Leo Guinan and they discuss the Manhattan Project for Human Potential, personal agency revolution, and the Bottega model rooted in Medici workshops.00:10 Leo reflects on networks vs. individuals, the genius–insanity line, and how exponential growth clashes with linear wages in Silicon Valley.00:15 They explore economic tension, the decline of wages, mastery in Bottegas, and the vision of decentralized innovation hubs.00:20 Conversation turns to Argentina, decentralization, and Leo's Ohio roots, tying local manufacturing decline, Anchor Hocking, and drug addiction to global shifts.00:25 Leo shares his frustration with student debt, the fakeness of the economy, and neuroses encoded into AI models like Gemini.00:30 They examine China's manufacturing dominance, mercantilism, complexity inflation, and the concept of time violence.00:35 Leo explains infinite predictors, cooperation, and consciousness as network awareness, citing Creator HQ as conscious technology.00:40 Discussion moves to rigorous mysticism, deterministic transformation, probabilistic futures, and the monkey and the pedestal metaphor.00:45 They analyze 1971 as a break between linear and exponential growth, compute access, surveillance states, and the power of human spite.00:50 Leo imagines algorithm manipulation, local AI, and prediction markets, referencing futarchy and political false choices.00:55 They close with Hitchhiker's Guide to the Future, Leo's group art project on Substack, and the rediscovery of ancient wisdom.Key InsightsThe heart of Leo Guinan's work is what he calls the Manhattan Project for Human Potential, a recognition that artificial intelligence isn't just about technology but about a personal agency revolution. He frames AI as a mirror that reveals how networks of people, rather than isolated individuals, drive intelligence and creativity.The Bottega model, inspired by the Medici workshops, is central to Leo's vision. By gathering diverse minds in tight-knit communities where mastery and exploration thrive, Bottegas become nodes of transformation — miniature Silicon Valleys where reality is fluid and imagination creates exponential value.A recurring theme is the structural flaw of modern economies: wages grow linearly while technology and capital compound exponentially. This creates systemic inequality, leaving most people crushed by rising costs while the top flourishes, a dynamic Leo witnessed firsthand in both Silicon Valley and his Ohio hometown.Leo introduces complexity inflation and time violence as hidden forces of the system. Complexity is rewarded over simplicity, making technology harder for everyday people, while time violence lets some actors leverage others' time to their own advantage, turning the economy into an arms race of asymmetries.Consciousness, for Leo, is about networks that are aware of themselves. He praises simple, embodied tools like Creator HQ that respect users' lived reality and contrasts them with AI systems unmoored from the real world. True mastery, he argues, is embodied, consistent, and grounded in human transformation rather than probabilistic shortcuts.Prediction markets emerge as a future-facing tool, offering a way to test decisions, hedge uncertainty, and surface blind spots. Leo envisions organizations running internal prediction markets and even rethinking politics by holding leaders accountable to explicit promises rather than vague partisan change.At the personal level, Leo is experimenting with transformation through his Hitchhiker's Guide to the Future project on Substack, a group art process that forces him out of his engineering comfort zone. He ties this back to ancient wisdom — from Buddha to Renaissance workshops — showing that the process of transformation has always been a deeply human practice we must continually rediscover.
Wenn Leads wichtiger sind als Maschinenstunden – So gelingt der Generationenwechsel im B2B-VertriebRobert Kirst sieht es jede Woche: Im industriellen Mittelstand stehen die Nachfolger bereit – doch Vertrieb und Marketing hängen noch im Jahr 2010. Klassische Wege wie Außendienst, Empfehlungen und Messen dominieren, während Social Media, CRM und Performance Marketing belächelt werden.Was die meisten tun (und warum es scheitert):– Vertrauen auf Bauchgefühl statt messbare KPIs– Marketing als „Kostenstelle“ statt Umsatzmaschine– Kein digitales Know-how bei den Entscheidern – und kein Vertrauen in die NachfolgerDer Wendepunkt:Immer mehr Söhne und Töchter steigen in die Geschäftsführung ein – und bringen neue Denkweise mit: Leadgenerierung statt Maschinenlaufzeit, Social Recruiting statt Zeitungsanzeige, LinkedIn statt Kundenbesuch. Robert Kirst erklärt, wie Unternehmen diesen Wandel nutzen können, ohne die alten Werte zu verlieren – sondern gezielt zu ergänzen.Das Ergebnis aus der Praxis:✅ Aufträge von 140.000 bis 650.000 € durch systematisierte digitale Maßnahmen✅ Digitale Transformation – intern akzeptiert durch „Co-Creation“ mit der alten Generation✅ Schnellere Vertriebszyklen durch saubere Prozesse und klare KPI-LogikDie wichtigste Erkenntnis:Der Generationenwechsel ist keine Bedrohung – sondern die größte Chance für mittelständische Industrieunternehmen seit Jahrzehnten. Wenn Erfahrung auf Mut trifft, entsteht Wachstum mit System.

In this episode, I open up about the art of trusting life, even when the unknown feels overwhelming. I explore how our bodies are living temples and how breath, sound, and presence can reconnect us to the subtle realms of spirit without needing substances. I reflect on moments of inspiration beyond the veil, the reality of duality, and why those micro-moments of choosing faith over fear shape the way we move through the world.I also share a very human season of dismantling—leaving a relationship, a country, and an academy—and how surrender, prayer, and daily self-holding carried me through. We look at the danger of spiritual bypassing and why authentic tantra starts from the ground up: feeling what's real, integrating it in the body, and only then rising into trust. This is about meeting life honestly and letting wisdom grow from the roots.Along the way, I offer the practices that keep me steady and clear: meditation, emotional release, gratitude, mindset hygiene, and creating spaciousness so spirit can move through. My hope is that you feel invited to remember the grand, organized design we're part of—and to co-create a life that feels aligned, awake, and deeply human.[b]Chapters[/b]0:00 - Tantric Life Lessons for Awakening the Soul2:00 - The Sweetness of Letting Go of Resistance9:21 - Creating Spaciousness for Trust and Surrender

In this episode of Lipsticks on Labcoats, Ashlei Lewis explores the Law of Attraction, blending science, faith, and co-creation. Learn how our words, thoughts, and energy are part of a universal light code that shapes our reality. We also look at how the Bible teaches us to actively participate in creation — because manifestation isn't about passive waiting, it's about aligning your frequency and actions with your desires. The universe is waiting for you to ask, align, and show up — so you can become the co-creator you were always meant to be.
Patrick und Jörg diskutieren die wachsende Bedeutung von Dienstleistungen in der Industrie und warum viele Unternehmen Schwierigkeiten haben, diese erfolgreich zu managen. Themen sind unter anderem Onboarding, Kundenfeedback und Co-Creation – entscheidende Bausteine, um Kundenerlebnisse zu verbessern und Mehrwert zu schaffen. Im Mittelpunkt steht die Frage, wie mit hoch der Standardisierungsgrad gerade bei Dienstleistungen sein sollte. Zahlreiche Unternehmen haben steigende Kosten in der Nutzungsunterstützung und bieten zahlreiche Beratungsleistungen gratis an. Im Ergebnis kommt immer mehr Arbeit auf die Mitarbeiter zu bei hohem Kostendruck. Durch die Einführung von Dienstleistungspreisen und von Angebots-Bundlen kann hier für das Unternehmen als die Kunden Mehrwert entstehen. Eine fundierte Datenanalyse zeigt die Bedürfnisse der einzelnen Segmente auf und Standardisierung und Individualisierung können optimal kombiniert werden.

Have you ever wondered if your life is guided by destiny, or if you truly have the power to shape your own path? In this episode, Summer answers that question by taking a closer look at the dance between free will and fate, sharing how co-creation with the divine can help you to accelerate your growth, transform your life, and unlock the magic that is meant for you. KEY TAKEAWAYS Each person has a unique destiny waiting for them. But it's your choices and actions, the exercising of your free will, that determine the path you follow to get there. Life is shaped through a partnership between you and the divine. When you take intentional action, life meets you halfway with opportunities, signs and synchronicities that you couldn't have created on your own.

I'm over the moon excited to be unveiling and sharing the 8 Feminine Leadership Archetypes with you in this 10th season as a way for 'how' we can move through these transformational times. These archetypes are a reflection of what happens when we bring feminine presence into leadership, and value it. They can help us to stay clear and centered + strong in playing our part + empowered to wisely create realities that are rooted in wholeness, sustainability, freedom, harmony, love, connection + possibility... even if the mainstream world is reflecting a different reality. I developed the Feminine Leadership Archetype model and system in 2018, based on 15 years of in depth study in feminine archetypal energy that spans across cultures, the energy is planetary. These leadership archetypes describe feminine presence and power - which is often not valued, compensated or even acknowleged within the systems we work, live and operate in. Although it is the energy that often holds everything together. It's the invisible things people rely on us for. It's what creates environments and cultures that foster people's growth, creativity and connectivity. The archetypes give us language, symbol, metaphor, image and a sense of the energy within us we can access and apply. Coupled with traditional more masculine leadership energy, we then can create and model systems and power that reflect balanced leadership. Here's what we will explore in episode #271: Illuminate: How we can embrace our own archetypal energy in a way that creates wholeness and harmony and empowers us to be co-creators of the realities we desire to see manifest. Educate: What are the Feminine Leaderships Archetypes and how we can apply these to our own lives, and then with the people, systems and causes we influences. A few words from our first archetype "The Creatrix:" I birth new worlds … I hold the possibility of future generations in my hand, for who i care deeply and consciously, everything I need to create is within me, I am not here to feed the machine. I create freedom, love, harmony through the forms I midwife into being … For the full Creatrix transmission tune in to this episode.

What if I told you that while the world has undergone profound changes, our leadership approaches have remained largely stagnant? What if, instead of relying on hierarchical structures and top-down directives, leaders embraced a more effective approach based on trust and inspiration? In this episode of the Insight Out, I have the pleasure of sitting down with none other than Stephen M.R. Covey, a renowned author and an authority on leadership. We dive deep into the transformative power of trust and how it serves as a cornerstone of inspiration in leadership. Covey draws a stark contrast between the antiquated command and control style and the trust and inspire approach, which he passionately advocates for as being crucial in today's world, especially when dealing with knowledge workers. Throughout our conversation, Covey shares personal anecdotes and real-world examples that bring his concepts to life. Such examples are the leadership styles of Microsoft's CEO, Satya Nadella and the leadership approach of Zoom CEO Eric Yuan which epitomizes the principles we discuss. He then breaks down the three stewardships of a trust and inspire leader—modeling, trusting, and inspiring. Each of these plays a vital role in not just leading but empowering others to reach their full potential. Covey doesn't just leave us with theory; he offers practical advice on how to build agreements that lay the foundation for a collaborative and empowered workplace. Join us as we explore these insightful themes and let's uncover how trust and inspiration can reshape the landscape of leadership In this episode, you will learn the following: Leadership and its impact on individuals Shifting from command and control to trust and inspire leadership The principles of trust and inspire contrasted with command and control The importance of self-awareness and a shift towards trust and inspire leadership The barriers to becoming a trust and inspire leader The three stewardships of a trust and inspire leader: modeling, trusting, and inspiring In This Episode: [10:20] Tapping into untapped potential [18:08] Command and control vs. trust and inspire [20:37] Trust and inspire [25:02] Barriers to becoming a trust and inspire leader [35:23] Inspiring confidence in others [38:35] Trust as human motivation [40:17] Microsoft's Satya Nadella as a trust and inspire leader [41:32] Modeling behavior [43:54] Inspiring leadership [45:24] The power of trust [52:01] Building trust through Co-Creation [54:00] The leadership style of Eric Yuan, CEO of Zoom [55:02] The power of modeling in leadership [59:46] Stephen M.R.

R. Covey [22:10] "To operate with a command and control style is like trying to play tennis with a golf club; it's not relevant to the game being played."- Stephen M. R. Covey [36:25] “Leadership is communicating people's worth and potential so clearly. That they come to see it in themselves.” Billy Samoa] [47:22] "When you trust people, they grow, they develop, and they become their best selves because they develop new capabilities." - Stephen M.

One of the early lessons we learned from starting and running WalkWithMeNow.com (WWMN), a platform dedicated to Wisdom Keepers and Seekers who are actively studying my material (albeit not exclusively), is that a clear set of rules and regulations were paramount for its success.I went into a meditative state and wrote out various things I wanted us to interact with and within the parameters that felt resonant to what I wanted to experience while interacting with other people. Especially with those people who were studying my material.After a few years, it felt to me that the group had matured enough in frequency and wisdom to be able to review and revisit our rules of engagement. We discussed each point in great depth, changed some, deleted some and added some.I am sharing with you what we ended up with after two more reviews. These are the present Rules of Engagement for WWMN that I hope will help you to form a basis for your own groups and platforms.As a matter of interest, we have used these rules as the basis for various other groups we have formed, not all related to study or wisdom keeping. Enjoy!+++Community RulesGreetings! These are the rules for our Community. Please read them carefully. Thank you!1) Please read forum topic headings carefully before posting. Restrict your posting to that topic and avoid the tendency to stray off topic. This will make the information in the forum easier to access as our forum grows.2) If you have a question or topic you would like to post, make sure you search the forum for that question or topic in case someone else has already covered it.3) Any posts you create will be seen by all WalkWithMeNow members and all have the freedom to respond.4) Keep in mind the purpose of this forum:Support using the Tools: The main purpose of this forum is to support one another in the use of the iBenz Method Tools during our journeys toward self-empowerment and our right to create a sane and healthy reality for us and the planet. This includes, but is not exclusive to, deepening our understanding of and exploring the processing tools and meditations together, and support the sharing of insights in the study and use of the new skills learned on the Courses, Classes and MP3 published by IneliaBenz.comInspiration: Learning from one another can help us become inspired in our own journey.Mapping: We learn 100% of what we guide others to know. Each of us has had doors opened to us that are unique to our own journey. There are an infinite amount of doorways and an infinite amount of knowledge available to us.Co-Creation: Co-Creation is the art of many working together as One. It differs from cooperation. Cooperation is a voluntary arrangement in which you engage with others in a mutually beneficial exchange. Co-Creation entails removing the personal self from the equation and allowing the highest frequency human collective expression to flow through us so that the high frequency human collective guides the group's activities. We hope that you will be fully active regarding your empowerment, learning and growth here at WalkWithMeNow.5) Please do not self-promote or sell your services, products or businesses to other members a) the work you do outside of this platform, b) "religious" or "belief" affiliations you have, c) personal websites about you and your work, or d) your own public or private offerings or hobbies. We appreciate that you have important work outside of this website, but our intention is that the forum be used solely for discussion about topics and personal experiences as they relate to Inelia's work and WalkWithMeNow themes and materials. For projects or creative works you are involved in, you can post them without a sales pitch in the external resources category. We highly encourage you to post your websites, services, products and other published works in your Profile Page.An exception to (5) - we have now a Classifieds category on the forum where you can showcase your product or class. Please make sure the projects are empowering and are clearly connected with the activities on WalkWithMeNow. If it looks like an unrelated self-promo post, it will be deleted. If you do generate revenue from the attention you get from WalkWithMeNow, consider giving back 25% to support the platform and the staff.6) Please note that the forum is private. No verbiage should be copied and published outside of the forum. Respect the privacy of your fellow members.7) Think before you post. In today's internet culture it is easy to write before we really consider what we are about to say or to write simply to be seen. The energy of WalkWithMeNow is extremely refined. Please treat the forum, therefore, as a sacred space. We ask you to deal strictly with the subject matter of each topic. Read the entire thread before you post, sit with your post before you add it, keep your posts to a minimum, and bring to the forum only what is absolutely necessary. For casual social interaction, we invite you to use the member run Talkwithmenow Telegram group. This group's rules of engagement are very similar to those of WalkWithMeNow. When you leave WWMN please remove yourself from TWMN. Any member banned from WalkWithMeNow will also be banned at TWMN.8 ) We also have a no aggravation policy. This is connected with all the points above. We want to keep our focus on the overall community and to co-create this as a harmonious and joyous place. As we said: a sacred space. If it becomes obvious that someone is only causing trouble, or has a constant demand for attention from the staff or the platform members, they will be asked to go. This is our choice to focus and expand what is great about WalkWithMeNow.9) Anyone involved in actively indulging in the victim/aggressor cycle , attacking or accusing others, and generally invalidating, belittling or insulting other members either in the forum, via personal messages, Second Life, or in member run study or telegram groups, will receive three warnings and then be banned from the WalkWithMeNow platform. For serious infractions and attacks, the person will be banned instantly.10) If you have had negative interactions with a certain person, please share this with the staff. Transparency and Clarity are a key component of this community. It also helps the staff know if there are patterns occurring within the community, and can thus address situations better.11) Do remember that this is not a "support group" but an active co-created, learning, studying and expansion of awareness group. There is one Category where you can request personal support for harsh or difficult situations and events in your life. Please use the tools suggested in the responses to your post. Your post will be closed once you stop updating it, or no one has posted in it for a month. Most "personal support" threads will be deleted when a person leaves WalkWithMeNow unless the thread is considered useful for others to map to.12) The rules of engagement for Member Run Study Groups are posted in each group thread on the forum. Please read these carefully before you join each study group.The discussion doesn't stop here—listen to the full podcast episode for unfiltered insights from Inelia and our panelists.
