Let help uncork your memoir through a 12 week memoir mentorship program: https://mikecarlon.com/memoir-cohorts/ “There's always another way of looking at things. Collaborators win bigger—in business, families, communities, everywhere.” In this episode of Uncorking a Story, Mike sits down with Priscilla McKinney—CEO and “Mama Bird” of Little Bird Marketing, author of Collaboration Is the New Competition, keynote speaker, podcaster, and lifelong creative. From growing up as part of a traveling Christian family band to building a thriving B2B marketing agency, Priscilla shares her remarkable journey of resilience, reinvention, and redefining what leadership looks like. She opens up about the tornado that destroyed her studio, the anthropology roots that shaped her worldview, the collaborative mindset behind her book, and the power of creating something from nothing. Whether you're a marketer, creative, entrepreneur, or leader, this conversation will inspire you to think differently about how work gets done—and why collaboration beats competition every time. Key Themes: Creative roots matter. Priscilla's childhood—writing skits, spoofing commercials, performing with her family—instilled a lifelong belief that ideas can come from anywhere. Anthropology shaped her business philosophy. Her cultural anthropology background trained her to see multiple perspectives and understand human behavior—an essential lens for modern marketing and collaboration. Resilience can redefine your path. After a tornado destroyed 35% of her town and her studio burned down weeks later, Priscilla rebuilt with clarity and purpose, eventually creating Little Bird Marketing. Collaboration outperforms competition. Her book breaks down the mindset shift required to work collaboratively and the “anchors” needed to make collaboration sustainable long‑term. Writing is never a solitary act. From scribes to editors to industry peers, Priscilla highlights how creating a book is inherently collaborative—even when the ideas are your own. Self‑publishing can be a strategic business choice. With an existing platform, team, and marketing machine, Priscilla turned her book into a powerful calling card for speaking, podcasting, and client growth. Little Bird Marketing thrives in B2B. Her team blends creativity with serious revenue discipline, helping high‑ticket B2B brands stand out, differentiate, and grow.

Bryan Boling sits down for a spoiler-free chat with novelist Michael Idov, diving into The Cormorant Hunt, the standalone sequel to his acclaimed spy thriller The Collaborators. Idov discusses the challenge of writing a compelling antagonist in Felix Burnham—a fusion of Jordan Peterson and Andrew Tate who pushes protagonist Ari Falk to his limits. They explore how real-world extremism, post-COVID paranoia, and disinformation influence modern spy fiction, and why setting stories in overlooked global locales adds authenticity. From the Reichsbürger to action-packed drone chases in Georgia (the country), Idov breaks down how topical fiction is crafted under the ticking clock of world events. Michael also shared some news about an upcoming spy thriller film he is directing with Noomi Rapace in the lead. Good news for the Brits, The Cormorant Hunt is scheduled to be released in the UK in May.
I caught up with Sarah De Warren on Groove Cruise to chat about her journey into techno, finding her artistic identity, and navigating life as a vocalist in dance music
This is a reading and adaptation of a compilation of wisdom teachings. Reverend George Graham Price, often identified by the magical/mystical moniker "Frater Achad," was associated with occult literature, specifically regarding the "Ancient Mystical White Brotherhood," acting as a channel for mystical, spiritual material. He is associated with interpretations of spiritual teachings and esoteric philosophy rather than mainstream ministry. #yeshua #enoch #angels
This episode of the No Film School Podcast is recorded live from the final Sundance Film Festival in Park City, 2026. GG Hawkins and Ryan Koo are joined by No Film School writer Jo Light and special guest Teddy Kim to share insights and lessons from Sundance. Together, they reflect on what it takes to find true creative collaborators at festivals, how the indie landscape continues to shift, and why human connection still matters more than ever in a rapidly changing industry. The episode includes a game of "Red Flag, Green Flag" and wraps with an interview between Ryan Koo and writer-director Stephanie Ahn, whose feature Bedford Park took 16 years to make and is now premiering at Sundance. In this episode you'll hear... How to make the most of Sundance even if you're not actively pitching a project Why networking at film festivals is more about vibe than résumé The evolving role of indie production companies balancing studio and independent films Which films are getting buzz at Sundance 2026 and what the acquisition market looks like How filmmakers are using episodic pilots and private screenings to get attention The pros and cons of “networking dinners” and late-night parties like Tao A playful, practical game of "Red Flag, Green Flag" to decode festival behavior GG's and Jo's favorite short and episodic pilots—and what makes them feel fresh A deep-dive interview with Bedford Park director Stephanie Ahn about perseverance, editing your own movie, and telling emotionally resonant stories Memorable Quotes: “In filmmaking, they often say you better give 10 years of your life… I exceeded that, and Stephanie exceeded that.” “You have to be very clear about what your intentions are and what the story is going to be. If you maintain an integrity with that, people come.” “It's not a matter of whether there is a big headline acquisition… but can a bunch of other movies get acquired for $3 million and have a healthy minimum guarantee?” “I wanted to make a film that hopefully an audience would actually feel something—genuinely feel something.” Guests: Jo Light Teddy Kim Stephanie Ahn Find No Film School everywhere: On the Web: No Film School Facebook: No Film School on Facebook Twitter: No Film School on Twitter YouTube: No Film School on YouTube Instagram: No Film School on Instagram

Be Unmessablewith: The Podcast hosted by Josselyne Herman-Saccio
If you have a big vision and you're secretly exhausted trying to carry it alone, this conversation is for you.Because the fastest way to kill a brilliant idea is not lack of money, lack of time, or lack of talent.It's trying to be the hero.Today, I'm breaking down the leadership shift that turns ideas into movements and burnout into freedom. This is about how to build with people, not for them, and why that distinction changes everything.If you're building a business, a nonprofit, a community, or a new initiative and you want it to grow without consuming your life, this episode will give you the framework.What You'll LearnThe fatal flaw of the “hero entrepreneur” and why it creates burnout instead of freedomThe difference between building for people and building with peopleWhy delegating tasks creates dependency, but inviting ownership creates momentumThe Vision Gathering method and how to use it to create real collaborationWhen you tell people what to do, you get compliance.When you invite them into creation, you get commitment.This episode shows you how to stop being the bottleneck and start being the visionary who creates space for others to step into leadership with you.That's how movements are built.That's how freedom is created.And that's how your vision starts serving your life instead of consuming it.Stop being the hero.Start being the leader who empowers others to create with you.Press play if you're ready to stop carrying it all and start building something that actually lasts.Join Word Bootcamp: My brand-new ONE TIME ONLY LIVE ON ZOOM, 4-week workshop to build the muscle of your word so that your word is law in the universe.

Competitors or Collaborators? The Truth About the Coaching Industry with Tim BrownsonSarah welcomes a guest you might not expect: Tim Brownson. While they both teach coaches how to find clients, Tim and Sarah prove that collaboration is far more powerful than competition.Together, they pull back the curtain on the coaching industry, dismantling the myths sold by training schools and having a candid conversation about the "charlatans" giving the profession a bad name. They also dive deep into the controversial topic of AI, exploring why fear is holding many coaches back from the future.Key TakeawaysCompetition vs. Collaboration: Sarah and Tim discuss why they don't view each other as rivals, despite working in the same space. They explore why many coaches hold their cards close to their chest out of fear, rather than embracing community.The "Field of Dreams" Myth: The duo critiques the pervasive lie told by training organisations: that if you are a good enough coach, clients will simply find you. Tim shares his own experience of having a wall full of certificates that brought him "the grand total of no clients".The Reality of AI in Coaching: Far from believing AI will never catch on, Tim predicts it will "wipe out coaches at the bottom end" who compete on price. They agree that while AI shouldn't be used to churn out lazy content ("sludge"), it is an essential tool for productivity and thinking.Memorable Quotes"We genuinely believe that our success came purely from having good conversations and quality coaching, but we fail to recognise the structural advantage that we started with." — Sarah Short "I think AI is going to wipe out coaches at the bottom end... the kind of person that's looking for the cheapest coach is the kind of person that's going to turn to AI first." — Tim Brownson "Brilliant coaches with no clients and the shit coaches with loads of clients because they understand marketing and that's just how it is." — Tim Brownson Have you enjoyed this episode?

What is the true structure of reality? In his fourth appearance on Mind-Body Solution, cognitive scientist Donald Hoffman returns with the most significant update yet to Conscious Realism: trace logic, decorated permutations, the emergence of spacetime from networks of conscious agents, and the strongest mathematical progress so far toward deriving Minkowski space from consciousness itself. Across nearly three hours, we explore what has changed in Hoffman's thinking since our last dialogue two years ago: breakthroughs in the trace-order formalism, new clarifications on evolution and perception, deeper implications for identity and suffering, and the surprising philosophical consequences of consciousness being fundamental. This is Hoffman at his most refined - technically rigorous, personally honest, and metaphysically bold.TIMESTAMPS:(00:00) — Intro(03:12) — What has changed in Hoffman's thinking in the last two years?

Justin Bieber BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Justin Bieber has kept the world's attention fixed squarely on him these past few days with a remarkable blend of fashion pivots, business intrigue, health challenges, and family milestones. The most viral moment came as the 31-year-old superstar arrived beard-free alongside Hailey Bieber at Game 3 of the 2025 World Series at Dodger Stadium. According to IMDb and Just Jared, this fresh-faced public appearance—cheering for his beloved Toronto Blue Jays—was widely interpreted as a reset for Bieber's image and quickly made him a trending topic across social media and entertainment sites. He wore a custom Blue Jays jersey, launched some playful shade at Shohei Ohtani, and reminded fans that he remains as comfortable in the front row of major sporting events as he is onstage.Simultaneously, Bieber's business world is buzzing. After announcing via Instagram Stories that he is no longer involved with his former streetwear label Drew House—stating it no longer reflects him, Hailey, or their life, a move confirmed by reporting from PEOPLE and detailed podcasts—he's focused on his new apparel and accessories line, SKYLRK. AOL and PEOPLE report that Bieber has teased the brand heavily on Instagram, showcasing pieces such as bold platform sandals, sweatshirts, and a notably similar phone case to that of Hailey's Rhode beauty line—fuel for both family synergy and some social media side-eye. So far, there's no official launch date for SKYLRK, but interested fans can already sign up for updates.On the personal front, Bieber and Hailey's family life has also been in the spotlight. The couple celebrated the birth of their first son, Jack Blues, in August 2024, and Hailey's own ambitions continue to ascend—E.L.F. Beauty acquired Rhode for a headline-making one billion dollars in May, as reported by PEOPLE and confirmed by business press. Hailey steps into new roles as chief creative officer and head of innovation for the merged brand.But not everything has been smooth sailing. Justin took a spill from his Onewheel electric skateboard and suffered a rib injury, which he described on Twitch as “gnarly” and still affecting his performance in both daily life and music rehearsals. With these hurdles, Bieber's inner circle, according to some unconfirmed tabloid reports, have voiced concern about personal and professional pressures mounting, but spokespersons have publicly refuted any serious financial or health crises.With Coachella 2026 on the horizon—where he will headline alongside Sabrina Carpenter and Karol G—Justin is preparing for an emphatic return to music, streaming his creative process and new material on social media and stoking rumors about a comeback album and world tour. Collaborators like producer Mk.gee confirm studio work is well underway. For Justin Bieber, a new era is beginning—marked by a clean face, a fashionable pivot, and, if industry insiders are right, a much-anticipated musical renaissance.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

Senators Durbin, Kaine, Fetterman, Shaheen, Cortez-Masto, Hassan, Rosen, and King need to be expelled from the Democratic party and any that mistakenly think they have a chance of retaining their seats must be primaried. Must be. They are not progressives, they are not pragmatists, they are not even moderates. They are fools. Their careers must be ended. Now. Durbin, Kaine, Fetterman, Shaheen, Cortez-Masto, Hassan, Rosen, and King. Now. Done. Forgotten. Let us hear their names no more. Last night these eight Senators voted to fold, without any pressure, without any bribe, without anything. They voted to kick millions of Americans off ObamaCare in order to reopen and fund the government – for only three months, mind you – in exchange not for magic beans but just the promise of a vote in which they’ll GET magic beans – a vote ON the health care subsidies - IF half a dozen Republicans defy Trump. A vote about magic beans. Which they won’t win. Their rationalizations were pathetic and suggested their familiarity with the reality of the Senate, of Trump, of the Republican Party, was less than that of the average Senate Page. What's worse is, this happens now as the reality becomes more and clear: Trump’s mind is gone. It’s so bad even The Washington Post noticed. It’s so bad The Washington Post even put it on their front page. He’s hyping weight loss drugs. In The Oval Office. And how he and he alone can bring down their price. And a weight loss patient there to extoll weight loss drugs and say how safe they are and praise Trump’s wonderfulness… collapses. Folds. Drops, slow-motion, like a deflating inflatable tube man at a used car sales lot. Trump – whose mind is gone - not only doesn’t help the guy on the floor… he’s offended he upstaged him. And then Trump – whose MIND IS GONE - falls asleep. For the second time. Or as The Washington Post put it: “A Closer Look At Trump’s Apparent Struggles To Fight Off Sleep In The Oval Office” read the Post headline. “A Washington Post analysis of multiple video feeds found that the president spent nearly 20 minutes apparently battling to keep his eyes open…” 815 words follow. And four pictures. One of Trump – whose mind is gone - with one eye closed. One with one eye closed and two fingers rubbing it. One with both eyes closed. One where you can almost SEE the snoring. Even. The Washington Post. Knows It. Let’s step back from the nuts-and-bolts of the government shutdown to try to process how it was perceived by Trump…whose mind is gone. HE thought it would be a GOOD idea to cut off food stamps so lines at soup kitchens would get longer just as it was getting cold. He thought the correct political move as the Holidays approached was… government-sponsored starvation. He believed that the country would praise him for… gradually shutting down all air travel – including all air travel FOR HIS SUPPORTERS – first for Thanksgiving and then for Christmas and New Year’s. He thought these were good political moves. SPORTSBALLCENTER (30:00): Yes, legal gambling could send two Cleveland pitchers to jail for 65 years. But no, they didn't actually make a Shohei Ohtani Used Jockstrap baseball card. B-Block (38:00) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: Politico thinks the first thing a Mayor-Elect of New York has to do is answer questions about the 2028 Senate elections. The Breaker media newsletter finds the New York Times fricasseeing its own digital books. That's right: FIFA isn't just polishing Trump's knob, it's inventing a "Peace Prize" so it can polish it harder. And Dr. Oz wants you to lose 400 pounds by the midterms. C-Block (55:00) WHY I'M NOT A HOCKEY ANNOUNCER: One of my favorite sportscasting stories: how my budding career as a plucky pucky play-by-play guy was thwarted when the team we were broadcasting "forgot to rent the rink" - and how I avenged myself.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Imagine stepping into a serene Wyoming forest for a simple elk hunt, only to fire a shot that defies physics—your bullet crumpling mid-air in eerie silence. What invisible force stopped it? On October 25, 1974, oilfield worker Carl Higdon faced this nightmare, turning to confront a neckless humanoid in a black jumpsuit: "Ausso One," communicating telepathically with slanted eyes and horn-like protrusions. Was this an alien hunter, mirroring Carl's own pursuit?Compelled by an unseen will, Higdon swallows a mysterious pill and enters a hovering transparent cube. Inside: his miniaturized elk herd, frozen; two identical beings at the controls. In a flash, he's hurled 163,000 light-years to a blinding planet teeming with Earth animals in enclosures—and wandering humans, including a familiar gray-haired man. Abducted captives? Collaborators? Escorted to a spiraling tower, Carl endures invasive scans by a dozen entities, only to be rejected: "Not what we need." Why? His vasectomy? Age? Or something more sinister about their mutations and cosmic "hunting" for biological specimens?Awakening disoriented in the dark, Higdon finds his truck impossibly relocated in a muddy ravine—no tracks, as if airlifted. Hospital tests reveal miracles: vanished tuberculosis scars and kidney stones, plus agonizing light sensitivity. Hypnosis with UFO expert Dr. Leo Sprinkle uncovers vivid details, backed by polygraphs, a deformed bullet, wilted grass, and locals' sightings of flashing sky lights. Skeptics cry hallucination from hypoxia or sci-fi influence, but parallels to Travis Walton's case beg: Are extraterrestrials harvesting us?Read MF Thomas' novels Like Clockwork https://amzn.to/417lOzyArcade https://amzn.to/4aTpisxA Sickness in Time https://amzn.to/41apSPKSeeing by Moonlight ...

Professor Suzannah Lipscomb engages in a captivating conversation with award-winning dramatist Liz Duffy Adams about the new Royal Shakespeare production of her play Born With Teeth, which imagines a thrilling collaboration between William Shakespeare and Christopher Marlowe. Suzannah and Liz delve into the fiery dynamics of the two men's relationship and the influence of politics on their works.Shakespeare and Marlowe existed under a time of oppressive royal censorship, when displeasing the crown would mean a trip to the Tower, or worse. How did they balance this struggle for truth and creativity amid the palpable danger?Extracts from Born With Teeth by Liz Duffy Adams, performed by Ncuti Gatwa and Edward Bluemel, courtesy of Royal Shakespeare CompanyMORE:Murder of Christopher MarloweShakespeare's Son Hamnet with Maggie O'FarrellPresented by Professor Suzannah Lipscomb.

The College Essay Guy Podcast: A Practical Guide to College Admissions
Hi friends, and welcome back to the podcast. In today's episode, I'm joined by two special guests: Dr. Steven Antonoff and Jay McCann, co-authors of the newly updated 5th edition of The College Finder: Your comprehensive guide to finding colleges that fit YOUR unique path. In this conversation, we dig into some of the biggest questions students and families face in the college search today, including: What—if anything—are rankings good for in 2025? Beyond starting salaries, which outcome metrics actually indicate value? What's a responsible way for students to use AI in the search phase—and what should they avoid? How do you plan a high-yield campus visit (or a virtual substitute) that actually informs fit? What's the most productive role for parents at each stage of the process? Jay McCann is co-author of The College Finder, now in its fifth edition since Steve's original publication in 1993. He earned his graduate degree at San Diego State University, where he was part of the Native American Scholars and Collaborators grant, focusing on education and community engagement.

Dr. Steven Antonoff has more than 30 years of experience in higher education. He is the author of College Match and The College Finder, both highly regarded resources for students and counselors. Steve holds a PhD in Human Communication Studies, an MA in Education from the University of Denver, and a BS in Psychology from Colorado State University.

In this conversation, Marcus Du Sautoy explores the intricate relationship between mathematics and various forms of art, including music, literature, and visual arts. He discusses how mathematical concepts such as prime numbers, symmetry, and randomness influence creative processes and artistic expressions. Through examples from renowned artists like Shakespeare and Dali, Du Sautoy illustrates how mathematics serves as a blueprint for understanding and creating art, while also emphasizing the emotional and aesthetic dimensions of both fields.Takeaways Mathematics and art are deeply interconnected. The circle is fundamental to both mathematics and nature. Prime numbers are essential building blocks in mathematics. Music often employs mathematical structures for creativity. Shakespeare used prime numbers to disrupt rhythm. Symmetry plays a crucial role in both art and mathematics. Dali's work reflects his fascination with scientific ideas. Theatre allows for abstract exploration of mathematical concepts. Ambiguity is embraced in art but avoided in mathematics. Randomness can lead to unexpected creative outcomes.Chapters 00:00 Blueprints of Mathematics and Art 02:35 Defining Creativity and Its Interplay 04:24 Mathematicians as Collaborators with Artists 07:17 The Fractal Nature of Jackson Pollock's Art 12:54 The Significance of Circles in Mathematics 16:31 Exploring the Mystery of Prime Numbers 19:52 The Role of Primes in Music Composition 28:01 Mathematics and the Structure of Music 29:00 The Mathematical Foundations of Music 31:50 Art and Mathematics: Dali's Exploration 38:56 Theatrical Structures and Mathematical Concepts 43:46 The Distinct Narratives of Numbers and Art 48:07 Symmetry and Randomness: Blueprints of Creativity 58:49 Exploring Creativity Through MathematicsFollow Professor du Sautoy on Twitter, BlueSky, and find his new book here.Subscribe to Breaking Math wherever you get your podcasts.Follow Breaking Math on Twitter, Instagram, LinkedIn, Website, YouTube, TikTokFollow Autumn on Twitter, BlueSky, and InstagramBecome a guest hereemail: breakingmathpodcast@gmail.com

How can architecture firms move beyond the traditional consultant model to foster truly deep, interdisciplinary collaboration? This week, we welcome Ximena Valle, founder of the Philadelphia-based architecture firm FIFTEEN, and one of her longtime collaborators, Mikael Avery. Ximena founded FIFTEEN to address the gaps she observed in the profession, from talent leaving the industry to a disconnect between designers and end-users. Inspired by her experience on a multi-disciplinary archaeological dig where geologists, mythologists, and chemists worked together to solve a complex problem, she built her firm around a "Collaborator Network."This intentional shift in language, from "consultant" to "collaborator", reflects a profound difference in process. Mikael Avery, whose background spans architecture, landscape architecture, and occupational therapy, is a prime example of the unique expertise FIFTEEN brings to the table. Collaborators are not just brought in for a "nugget of information"; they are integrated into the team from the earliest visioning sessions, contributing to a holistic process where the solution emerges from the group dynamic.Ximena and Mikael share how this model has transformed projects, turning a public space design into a community incubator for startups and workforce development, and evolving a healthcare facility presentation into a fully experiential workshop co-designed with the client. They also discuss the practical challenges of this approach, from creating new financial models to educating clients on the value of a truly integrated team. “The more voices we can get in the room that will misinterpret what we say, if you will, the more opportunities we have to have these ideas bubble up. That is the most exciting part about design… when it doesn't come from one person, but it comes from the conversation around something. And then all of a sudden, wait, that's actually the answer right there. It didn't come from me. It didn't come from you. It came from the process.” - Mikael AveryThis episode concludes with a reminder that meaningful innovation in architecture doesn't come from sticking to traditional roles, it comes from rethinking the process entirely. Ximena and Mikael leave us with a clear call to action: open the door, invite in new voices, and trust the collaborative process. Whether you're leading a firm or just starting out, the future of design lies in embracing complexity together.Guests:Ximena Valle is the founder of Fifteen, a Philadelphia-based architecture firm that is redefining collaboration in practice. She founded the firm to address what she saw as critical gaps in the profession, building a new practice model centered on integrating diverse, interdisciplinary expertise into the core design process.Mikael Avery is a designer, educator, and healthcare professional working at the intersection of architecture, product design, and health. He is a longtime collaborator with Fifteen, and also teaches at the University of Pennsylvania and brings a human-centered perspective to projects ranging from healthcare environments to medical device design.Is This Episode for You?This episode is for you if:✅ You are interested in new, more inclusive models of collaboration in architecture.✅ You are a firm leader looking for ways to integrate expertise from outside the traditional AEC industry.✅ You want to learn how to better advocate for the value of a truly interdisciplinary design process with clients.✅ You are a professional with a non-traditional background who wants to engage with architectural projects in a meaningful way.✅ You want practical advice on how to foster a culture where the best ideas can come from anyone in the room.What have you done to take action lately?

In Episode 376, Alex and Theo Gribaudi-Plytas talk about: Their location in rural France, at the southern end of the Champagne region, where there are tons of vineyards, many of which they take friends from out of town to, and how even in their minimally populated area they see plenty of income inequality; how they met while living in London's version of dorms for art students, even though they were going to art schools that weren't at all near each other, and how they evolved from friends to romantic partners to romantic partners who make art collaboratively; Theo's art school professor, Leigh Clarke, who looked through the class's sketchbooks, and if they didn't past muster he'd throw them in the trash (it was symbolic); how they organically evolved into making art together as a pair, and what the advantages (and occasionally disadvantages) are, including the energy from vibing off each other's ideas, and how one can inspire the other and v.versa; how their life is their art, particularly with the evolution of their home/home studio and garden, all together as a piece. In the BONUS Full Episode, available to Patreon supporters of The Conversation, Alex and Theo discuss: Their perpetual moving in and moving out of studios in London, each after just a year or two, because they got priced out or the situation was unsustainable, and how they're translating the various functioning areas of those fleeting studio spaces to this permanent one, which is still very much a work-in-progress after three years (it's a former school house built in 1879 and a house next door); their 24-hour work/artmaking sensibility, which they make sound quite appealing, a world in which breakfast can be art, or they can be working on art-related sewing while watching a film; why they left the city for the country, even when they had such a wonderful time during art school and beyond in London; the details of their property, including the view into the forest, where hunting takes place (and which we discuss); their complex relationship using Instagram (they don't like to but need to); Theo's sister, Sarah Rosenzweig, who they both admire for getting off of Meta platforms despite living in the mountains in the south of France (she sends out calendars and advocates for progressive political causes).

On this episode of the Scouting For Growth podcast, Sabine VdL talks to Emmanuel Djengue, a dynamic professional whose passion for technology and user-focused innovation has shaped his remarkable career path. From leading tech initiatives to connecting diverse people and ideas, Emmanuel exemplifies the very spirit of relentless curiosity and strategic thinking that we celebrate on this show. We’ll be delving into his personal journey, uncovering how he transforms ambition into concrete impact, and discussing the role collaboration and how talent can play a crucial role in fostering exponential growth as the world goes through a workforce transformation requiring reskilling and upskilling, while finding the talent for the right role across markets. KEY TAKEAWAYS Insurance is a product that no one wakes up in the morning wanting to buy, but it’s super essential to society and people, especially life insurance. We need to be able to help people understand the importance of insurance as well as ensuring that everything we offer to the customer has to be simple, attractive and on the right timing. Health insurance is also very important, how do we help people with this? I’ve studied how people think to figure out how to motivate them to do things. If you bring this element into the innovation of the industry, we’d be able to improve the way people interact with insurance as well as the way they care about insurance and take care of themselves. There are 3 types of InsurTech players: Integrators – the ones that identify and have solutions and want to integrate them into what an insurance company is doing. Disruptors – They want to change everything that doesn’t work well so that it does, these need financial capability to do that, so there are not a lot of startups that can be disruptors. Collaborators – who want to touch base with insurers to try to improve what’s going on The difference between a great and a bad insurer is not so much in the product, efficiency, etc. It’s on the people making the company great. If I need to do more innovation, change things, and bring something different, why not help people to solve this issue? The number on business problem for anyone is unsuccessful hiring. BEST MOMENTS ‘South Africa has one of the most innovative markets in life and health insurance, there are a lot of startups doing great things there.’‘Too many startups turn up to the market to play disruptor roles, but only 1 or 2 players can do this and win.’‘In insurance David is not going to win against Goliath.’‘Both sides need to need the partnership and want the partnership to happen.’ ABOUT THE GUEST From the moment he first tinkered with a computer at a young age, Emmanuel Djengue has been captivated by the power of creativity and innovation to transform lives. His journey—marked by curiosity, resilience, and collaboration—has taken him from passion projects in his hometown to spearheading tech initiatives on a global stage. Along the way, Emmanuel developed a talent for weaving user-focused storytelling into every project, bridging technology and humanity in impactful ways. Fueled by an enduring love of problem-solving, he thrives on connecting diverse people and ideas to craft solutions that don’t just work, but inspire. Whether rallying a team around a new software concept or mentoring future innovators, Emmanuel’s drive to make a positive impact is as unyielding as his imaginative spirit, promising that every new chapter of his story will be just as vibrant and compelling as the last.
