Procurement's problem isn't speed. It's form.  They've gotten great at automating and accelerating weak processes while quietly rewarding the "good contract, bad deal" mentality that ultimately undercuts their own efforts. In this podcast episode of "Buy: The Way…To Purposeful Procurement," Omid Ghamami, president of the Procurement and Supply Chain Management Institute and former Intel purchasing operations leader, joins co-hosts Philip Ideson and Rich Ham to challenge procurement's most comfortable (bad) habits.  He argues that the function claims victory at signature, books "savings" that never actually hit the P&L, and then moves on to the next thing while suppliers are left to harvest margin in the years that follow. Omid also goes after the most likely root causes of all these bad habits: procurement lets business units fixate on what they want to buy instead of what they need to accomplish. That framing hardwires cost into scopes through custom specs, gold-plating, and activity-based requirements.  The cure is outcome design and total cost discipline up front, informed by external references, public contracts, internal history, and supplier knowledge. Pay now or pay later… and most teams pay later. Procurement needs to stop rewarding the 'heroes' who rush in to fix broken deals instead of the leaders who design processes that prevent fires in the first place. As Omid puts it, "We don't reward Smokey the Bear. We reward the firefighters."  If incentives continue to glorify this kind of firefighting, the flames will keep coming. But when procurement starts recognizing prevention as performance, they will finally become the quiet force that keeps value – and trust – intact.

SummaryIn this episode of the Gird Up podcast, host Charlie Ungemach welcomes Pastor Matt Doebler, a missionary in Australia, to discuss the pressing issue of spiritual apathy among Christians. They explore the biblical story of Gideon as a metaphor for the journey from feeling like a 'nobody' to recognizing one's identity in Christ. The conversation delves into the importance of repentance, the role of the Holy Spirit, and the need for a purposeful life rooted in the Gospel.

We've been told Revelation is about predicting the future or achieving the right political outcomes. But what if it's actually about something we can't control or engineer ourselves? This sermon explores how the Bible's most misunderstood book challenges both religious conservatives and progressive activists to reconsider what liberation actually means. Drawing on imagery of empire's collapse and unexpected visions of hope, this talk argues that treating faith as either a political platform or an intellectual puzzle drains our capacity to act. Instead, Revelation calls us to something bigger: receiving what we cannot explain, resisting what we cannot ignore, and enduring when logic fails. If you've ever felt exhausted by trying to figure everything out or felt your doubts piling up despite all the books you've read, this perspective on salvation as "spaciousness" rather than certainty might reframe everything.

Kathy Andrews is the Founder and Managing Director of Cinga Leadership & Learning Inc., a boutique leadership consultancy. With over 20 years of experience as a people and culture strategist, executive coach, and master facilitator across public, private, and nonprofit sectors, she specializes in aligning business strategy and culture through high-impact leadership programs. Before Cinga Leadership, Kathy held various senior HR and leadership development positions at several global organizations. She also hosts For Leaders By Leaders, a podcast featuring global thought leaders and executives.  In this episode… Creating an inclusive workplace requires more than just hiring diverse talent; it demands a culture where every employee feels heard, valued, and empowered. When leaders foster psychological safety and open communication, they create an environment where diverse perspectives lead to stronger decision-making and innovation. How can organizations shape their cultures to eliminate bias and create lasting inclusion? Leadership expert Kathy Andrews encourages leaders to make calculated hiring and promotion decisions. Unconscious biases often occur in rushed choices, so leaders must challenge their initial assumptions and seek diverse input. Additionally, storytelling is an influential leadership tool, as authentic narratives can allow leaders to communicate their values, build trust, and inspire action. By weaving personal and organizational stories into their leadership approach, executives can foster deeper connections with their teams and reinforce inclusive practices.  Tune in to the latest episode of the Lead Like a Woman Show as Andrea Heuston welcomes Kathy Andrews, the Founder and Managing Director of Cinga Leadership & Learning Inc., to talk about fostering inclusive leadership. Kathy shares how to build psychological safety within teams, her sustainable organizational talent strategy, and how to differentiate between healthy and unhealthy conflict in leadership.

In this time of uncertainty and pullback of federal support for higher education, is it time for states to step up and play a greater leadership role in helping colleges better serve students? And if so, how? Jeff and Michael debate those questions on this episode. To set the stage, they talk with Ruth Watkins, president of postsecondary education for Strada Education Foundation and a former college president, about Strada's new State Opportunity Index. A key theme: the state level may be the ideal one to match educational offerings with available jobs, especially as AI reshapes so many industries.

In this episode of the Schofield Chiropractic Training MoChihChu Podcast, Dr. Fred and Dr. FJ unpack one of the most overlooked truths of modern chiropractic, and life: we've become too comfortable. Through stories of fearless kids, African safaris, and the ancient wisdom of the Bushmen, the Schofields explore what happens when comfort dulls our hunger and weakens our meaning. From crocodile-filled rivers to thorn-bush fences, Dr. Fred paints vivid lessons about courage, mentorship, and the necessity of discomfort to create depth and purpose in practice. The conversation flows from the toughness of the Himba tribes to the mental discipline required to run a thriving chiropractic office. Dr. Fred reminds us that every strong practice, like every thorn bush, must have boundaries that protect its energy, and every chiropractor must rediscover their own why. Dr. FJ breaks it down practically: health, energy, and consistent action are the foundation of resilience. Without vitality, you can't sustain the intensity needed to build something great. This episode is a wake-up call for anyone coasting through life or practice. Comfort might feel good, but it never grows you. "When we have no adversity, we invent it. So train your mind and body with hard things, then real challenges feel small." – Dr. FJ Schofield Weekly Action Steps: Do One Hard Thing: Choose a daily challenge—cold shower, morning run, tough conversation—and face it head-on. Find Your Thorn Bush: Identify what boundaries protect your purpose. Where are you letting distractions or predators in? Reconnect with Meaning: Write down why you started. Post it where you can see it every day. Build Energy to Build Impact: Move your body, nourish yourself, and show up to your practice with vitality. Because hunger starts the journey—but meaning keeps you charging. Listen, share, and rise above comfort.  Keep Charging Rhinos! MoChihChu!

Cruising offers many challenges. But it shouldn't feel like a slog. And if it does, maybe a few simple changes will make it more pleasurable.  Summary All beginning cruisers look forward to the best part of the lifestyle. But living on a boat is also a challenge. The difference between having fun and a slog can be a few specific changes. Based on seventeen years of living aboard, I recommend the following: Get good rest. Comfortable bedding, good ground tackle, and the ability to stay cool will all contribute to a restful night's sleep. Have enough power so you can meet your needs and not feel restricted. Have reliable internet so you can be as connected as you want to be. Make meal prep easier by investing in quality equipment. Agree on standard operating procedures. Automatic habits are easier than reconsidering every move. Divide labor fairly. Everyone needs to contribute. Make sure that every crew member's needs are met. Spend time in your cruising community. Focusing on these goals will ensure cruising stays fun.

Should startups only hire senior developers? The conventional wisdom says yes, but what if hiring junior developers is actually a startup's secret weapon for building a strong, collaborative culture? In this episode, we talk to Purity Health's Chief Technology Officer, David Andrews, and Chief Product Officer (and NSS grad!) Fletcher Watson. David and Fletcher share why they've made it a priority to hire junior developers from the beginning. They discuss how they create a supportive culture, mentor new team members, and help them find their career paths. Plus, we get a real-world look at how their team uses generative AI tools like GitHub Copilot and the "strong guardrails" they've put in place—like mandatory code reviews and complete test coverage—to ensure quality.

In this episode, Matt and Josh talk about IAAPA Expo thrival tips—how to plan with intention, protect your energy, network on and off the floor, leave space for serendipity, and turn post-show momentum into results. From Survival to “Thrival” “It could be transformational to you as a human being, to your business, to the industry, to your team.” IAAPA Expo is more than a trade show; it's an annual reset. Matt and Josh reframe the week from “survive” to “thrive,” emphasizing that transformation only happens when you participate with intention. Walk in with a plan (what to see, who to meet, which sessions to attend), but also hold room to apply what you learn. The payoff is compound interest: new ideas, stronger relationships, and momentum that carries well beyond November. Prepare With Purpose “Preparation, preparation, and one more time—preparation.” Use the online show guide and IAAPA Connect+ app to map exhibitors, sessions, and meetups before you arrive. Matt and Josh highlight pre-reaching out to people you want to see for breakfasts, coffees, or a lap of the floor together to ensure important conversations happen. Josh adds a mindset check: if someone leaves saying they “didn't get anything out of it,” that's usually a signal to plan better and proactively seek value. Pace Yourself (Feet First) “Wear comfortable shoes.” —Many submitters The most repeated tip is also the simplest. Comfortable footwear (gel insoles for the win) plus smart self-care keeps you sharp from early mornings to late events. Josh even “pre-games” with ibuprofen to prevent aches before they start. Protecting your energy means you can stay present in sessions, actually walk that extra aisle, and say “yes” to the spur-of-the-moment invites that matter. Network On and Off the Floor “Consider attending some of the night events… and bring business cards.” Don't limit networking to the exhibit hall. Young Professionals Mixer, IAAPA Celebrates, and other evening events are where quick hellos turn into real conversations. Bring cards (or capture details digitally), and jot a note on each contact so your follow-up is specific. Also, be proactive during the day. The right question at the right booth (or in the hallway) can unlock unexpected connections. Leave Space for Serendipity “Keep time free for networking. Great ideas are shared over coffee.” Build “white space” into your calendar. A strategic zig-zag lap of the floor early in the week helps you orient; then use unscheduled pockets for spontaneous demos, peer conversations, or simply catching your breath. Jamie's mantra of “ride the ride” applies here: experience things that excite you—even outside your lane. Those surprises often spark the best post-Expo ideas. Capture and Follow Up “Plan your post-show before the show.” Thanksgiving arrives fast. Block time now for emails, calls, and debriefs. Each evening, recap who you met, what you learned, and what you'll do next so the week doesn't blur together. Also, don't work so hard you forget the FUN—but do make the fun actionable when you get home.   Download the full 2025 IAAPA Expo Thrival Guide here.
