Podcasts about conflicting

In this episode: In June 2025, just a few hours before Florida's Republican-controlled Legislature finalized a new state budget, GOP leaders in Tallahassee slipped a sentence into the spending plan authorizing state officials to acquire a piece of property in the Panhandle through a popular land-preservation program. Three months later, Gov. Ron DeSantis and the Florida Cabinet used that little line in the budget to spend $83.3 million in taxpayer money on a tiny spit of vacant land owned by a prominent real-estate developer and Republican Party donor. Here's the story of how Florida politicians pulled off a land deal that one longtime conservation leader called “a sham.” (Note: This is an update of a podcast that initially aired in November 2025. The three Cabinet members who voted to approve the $83 million land deal — Attorney General James Uthmeier, Chief Financial Officer Blaise Ingoglia, and Agriculture Commissioner Wilton Simpson — are all now running for re-election.)

Why can you feel lonely and then want everyone to leave you alone, or set a boundary and immediately want to take it back? Today, I explore why conflicting parts and contradictory responses can feel especially intense after complex trauma, drawing from parts work, attachment research, fear learning, and Somatic Experiencing.You'll hear why missing someone doesn't mean the relationship was safe, why guilt doesn't prove a boundary was wrong, and how the body can move toward something while also putting on the brakes. The goal isn't to decide which response is the “real you,” but to understand what each one expects, protects, or needs.The question to take with you: how much might be right for me right now?Thanks for listening to The Complex Trauma Podcast!Be sure to follow, share and give us a review on your favorite podcast platform.Follow on Instagram: @sarahherstichlcsw Follow on TikTok: @sarahherstichlcswLearn more about EMDR & trauma therapy in Pennsylvania with Reclaim TherapyThis podcast is for educational and informational purposes only.

I WAS THINKING: Washington’s Conflicting Ideals on Trusting Parents. “If parents of a child are both addicted to fentanyl, the state gives them the benefit of the doubt despite the danger to their child, yet if a child tells their teacher they have gender dysphoria the state assumes the parent can’t be trusted with that information!” Gov. Ferguson warns against parental ‘bill of rights’ Initiative 001 // PHONE GUEST - TRAVIS REEP - NORTH THURSTON ELEMENTARY SCHOOL TEACHER ON PARENTS BILL OF RIGHTS. Travis explains in calm, dispassionate terms, what he is legally required to tell a parent if they ask ANY personal questions about their child… Spoiler alert: They can’t tell you ANYTHING without your child’s expressed permission. // Portland City Councilmember Mitch Green lays out his vision for a Cop-less Portland 

You're expected to make clear, consequential decisions.There's just one small problem: sometimes the truth isn't actually clear.The information conflicts. The experts disagree. The situation keeps changing. And everyone still expects you to walk into the room with an answer.So what happens when your desire for certainty starts interfering with your ability to think?In this episode of Wired to Win, Fernanda explores one of the most important leadership capacities in an increasingly uncertain world: epistemic resilience - the ability to stay open to evidence, revise your thinking without humiliation, and act decisively without pretending uncertainty has disappeared.Because conviction and certainty are not the same thing.And confusing them can get very expensive.Especially when you're dealing with things like…Conflicting information from credible sourcesDecisions where there simply isn't a perfect answerPressure to move faster than the evidence allowsTeams looking to you for certainty you don't actually haveThe temptation to defend an old position because changing your mind feels like weaknessThat deeply human urge to make the discomfort of not knowing just… go awayDrawing on Fernanda's experience in financial markets, lessons from the 2008 financial crisis, John Keats' concept of “negative capability,” and research on cognitive closure, uncertainty and emotional regulation, this episode explores what it takes to think clearly when the picture is incomplete.You'll discover why strong leadership isn't about eliminating uncertainty.It's about developing the internal capacity to hold it without allowing it to make your decisions for you.In this episode, you'll learn:Why intelligent, experienced leaders can still mistake certainty for clarityThe critical difference between conviction and certaintyWhy uncertainty can create an urgent psychological need to “close the gap” - even before the evidence supports a conclusionWhat John Keats' 200-year-old idea of negative capability can teach modern leadersWhat financial markets reveal about confidence, accuracy and our spectacular ability to rationalize being wrongWhy changing your mind when the evidence changes is a leadership strength, not a humiliationHow to separate what you know, what you're inferring and what remains unclearWhy values become even more important when the facts are incompleteHow cognitive reappraisal and credible dissent can create space for better decisionsThree practical ways to strengthen epistemic resilience under pressureHow the Rewired Method helps leaders interrupt automatic responses and choose more intentional onesThe goal isn't to become comfortable with never knowing anything.It's to stop treating uncertainty like an emergency.Because you can make a firm decision without becoming rigid.You can lead with authority without pretending you have perfect information.And you can hold genuine conviction without manufacturing certainty simply because not knowing feels uncomfortable.Your Next Steps:Watch the Free MasterclassIf success still feels heavier than it should… this masterclass will help you understand why.Watch The Rewired Method™ in action How we help women executives end burnout and build sustainable success in less than 90 days...I recorded a step-by-step training for you here: The Sustainable Success Plan for Executive Women LeadersExplore The Rewired Woman™https://therewiredwoman.com/Follow on InstagramConnect on LinkedInCorporate Partnerships & Leadership Programshttps://rewiredglobal.com/corporates/

Jeff Mains sits down with Jurgen Dauk to unpack why the org chart that got a company to its first 50 people is often the exact thing choking it at 500. Jurgen argues that most companies are still built and run like machines — predictable, controllable, command-and-control — when what actually thrives in fast-moving, crisis-prone markets is an organization that behaves more like an organism: adaptive, self-healing, and built around trust in people rather than rigid processes. The conversation covers why rolling AI into a broken structure just accelerates the dysfunction, how to diagnose silos and misaligned KPIs, why a real vision and mission (not a wall plaque) is the glue that holds cross-functional teams together, and concrete stories — from a car manufacturer losing the innovation race to China, to Ritz-Carlton's radical front-line trust — showing what happens when decision power moves closer to the action.Key Takeaways2:31 — The structure that got you here might be the exact thing slowing you down now.6:19 — Think of your company as an organism, not a machine — it puts people at the center, not the org chart.9:09 — Why command-and-control kills AI ROI: strategic top-down rollouts vs. empowered cross-functional teams choosing their own AI use cases.12:04 — The "garbage in, garbage out" AI story: a regional marketing team fed AI a stale document instead of training it on their ideal customer.15:19 — Command-and-control is really about fear — fear of losing control, fear it won't work out.17:07 — The fastest diagnostic for a broken org: ask 10 people the company's vision/mission and see how many different answers you get.18:19 — Gallup data: nearly 80% of employees are completely checked out.23:52 — What a "Leadership Operating System" actually is — not a machine principle bolted onto your org, but a guide to co-create your own unique structure.26:03 — How to find your silos fast: look at how decisions flow, how information moves, and whether your teams' KPIs actually conflict with each other.34:23 — The German auto industry story: a legacy manufacturer builds one generation of a car in the time a Chinese competitor builds three.37:26 — The #1 structural move before spending another dollar on AI: just ask your people what they need.42:49 — The Amazon Web Services story — building backwards from what the customer needs, not from existing tools/processes.45:36 — The Ritz-Carlton story: an employee flies to Hawaii to hand-deliver a guest's forgotten laptop, funded by a no-questions-asked discretionary budget.Tweetable Quotes"Your structure is either your engine or your anchor." — Jeff Mains"AI amplifies what is there. If your foundation isn't set up well, it will amplify exactly that." — Jurgen Dauk"Organizations are made up of people, not machines." — Jurgen Dauk"The reality is different — our issue is the time it takes us to build one generation of our flagship product, while our competition is developing three." — Jurgen Dauk"Instead of investing into AI, ask your people. Talking to people is not very expensive." — Jurgen Dauk"What people almost never ask is: In what way would I need to change?" — Jurgen Dauk"Organizational transformation really is personal transformation just at scale." — Jeff MainsSaaS Leadership LessonsTrust decision power to where the knowledge lives. Cross-functional teams closer to the action decide faster and better because they understand the problem firsthand.A rigid structure will sabotage your AI investment. Rolling out AI on top of command-and-control doesn't fix dysfunction — it accelerates it.Vision and mission are operational tools, not marketing copy. A vision that unites people (not "20% YoY growth") is what aligns fragmented teams and keeps talent engaged.Diagnose silos through decisions, information flow, and KPIs. Conflicting metrics between departments (e.g., sales vs. marketing) are a reliable early warning sign.Letting go of control is the hardest and highest-leverage move. It requires training people on communication, clear guardrails, and a safe space for mistakes — not just "here's the plan, good luck."Build backwards from the customer, not from existing tools or processes. Amazon Web Services and Ritz-Carlton both succeeded by empowering people to act in service of the customer outcome, not internal process compliance.Guest Resourcesj.dauk@theleadership-os.comhttps://theleadership-os.com/https://www.linkedin.com/in/juergendauk/Episode SponsorThe Futureproof Series - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLfkXKUPZ5xuOqMPR7_gzGybncTtavyR1NThe Captain's KeysSmall Fish, Big Pond – https://smallfishbigpond.com/ Use the promo code ‘SaaSFuel'Champion Leadership Group – https://championleadership.com/https://jeffmains.com/books/SaaS Fuel ResourcesWebsite - https://championleadership.com/Jeff Mains on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/jeffkmains/Twitter - https://twitter.com/jeffkmainsFacebook - https://www.facebook.com/thesaasguy/Instagram - https://instagram.com/jeffkmains

KMOX Legal Analyst Brad Young joins Megan Lynch. Which congressional map will be used in this November's election, a 2022 map that was approved, or a 2025 map that the Missouri Supreme Court said was not valid. 'We don't have judicial clarity, what we do have is a constitutional traffic jam,' chuckles Young.

Author Jaime Kucinskas discusses the book, The Loyalty Trap: Conflicting Loyalties of Civil Servants under Increasing Autocracy, reviewed in the September 2026 issue of Contemporary Sociology by Ben Merriman.

Has looking after your health started to feel like another full-time job? There's always something else we're told we should be doing. Another habit to add. Another number to track. Another expert telling us what we're getting wrong. And with so much information available, it can sometimes feel harder—not easier—to know where to begin. In this episode of It's a Mindset, I'm joined by author, speaker and naturopath Susan Hunter, whose work challenges the story the wellness industry has been selling Gen X women. Susan has worked predominantly with women for more than 20 years and is the author of the book, The Health Edit: How Gen X Women Are Resetting the Script on Midlife. Together, we explore why women have become both the wellness industry's biggest market and some of its most confused consumers. We talk about the guilt and overwhelm that can arise when caring for our health becomes another long list of things to manage, particularly for women already carrying full professional, family and mental loads. Susan shares her approach to simplifying health by identifying the area that needs our attention most, focusing on one essential change and allowing that change to become part of our lives before trying to do more. Rather than continually adding new routines, treatments or targets, she encourages women to develop the clarity and confidence to make health decisions that are genuinely relevant to them. We also explore movement as an important health foundation, why constantly tracking our bodies can sometimes disconnect us from how we actually feel, and what a post-optimisation approach to health could look like. As a woman in midlife myself, I found this conversation incredibly informative. I loved Susan's hopeful perspective that our forties and fifties can be a time to think more intentionally about our long-term health, while also becoming clearer about our purpose, values and the way we want to live. This is a thoughtful conversation about moving beyond health overwhelm, trusting ourselves more and recognising that caring for our wellbeing doesn't need to mean doing everything at once. Key Episode Takeaways: The wellness industry can make health feel like an additional burden. When women are continually reminded of everything they aren't doing, looking after themselves can become another source of pressure rather than support. More information doesn't always create greater clarity. Conflicting advice, emerging trends and health content on social media can make it difficult to understand what is relevant to our individual circumstances. One meaningful change can be more useful than trying to change everything. Susan explains how focusing on the area that needs our attention most can make health feel more manageable and create benefits that flow into other parts of our wellbeing. The foundations still matter. Movement we enjoy, real food, sleep and learning to listen to our bodies may not sound as exciting as the latest optimisation trend, but they can provide a practical place to begin. Complex or persistent concerns, however, may require appropriate professional investigation and support. Tracking can become counterproductive. Susan explores how an intense focus on scores, targets and data can create anxiety and draw us away from how we actually feel. Midlife can be approached as an opportunity rather than a decline. This stage of life can invite us to make more intentional choices about our health, redefine success and consider what we want the decades ahead to look like. About the Guest: Susan Hunter is an author, speaker and naturopath who believes the wellness industry has been selling Gen X women the wrong story. Through her work, Susan encourages women to view their health as a source of creative power in the second half of life—not as another part of themselves that needs to be continually optimised. Her debut book, The Health Edit: How Gen X Women Are Resetting the Script on Midlife, offers an alternative to the overwhelm and complexity surrounding women's health. Susan's approach is grounded in greater clarity, realistic change and moving away from the idea that more is always better. She is also launching The Health Edit podcast alongside the book.

In this episode: The release of a bombshell grand jury report into the $10 million “Hope Florida” affair has rocked the state's political landscape two months before the election. James Uthmeier, the former Ron DeSantis chief of staff at the center of the scandal who the governor then promoted to attorney general, threatened a television reporter simply for asking him a question about it. Byron Donalds, the Republican candidate to become DeSantis' successor, initially dismissed the issue but is now trying to reassure voters that he will demand reform. And pollsters are scurrying to figure out who Floridians ultimately blame for what the grand jury called “a sophisticated scheme” to spend taxpayer money on political campaigns. Plus: Updates on the state-altering property tax proposal that will appear on the November ballot and a developer-backed law that continues to cause chaos in local communities around the state.Show notesFor more information about the Urban Land Institute Central Florida's Oct. 1 panel on Amendment 3, click here.The webinar with Welcome to Florida cohost and candidate for Florida House District 15 House Chadd Charland about the importance of state government will be held the evening of Sept. 9, starting at 8 pm.

Trill Crime is an investigative fiction podcast from RJPC Studios LLC exploring the people, places, crimes, records, and events that Trillberry may have forgotten. Hosted by M.J.—Maya Jones, better known around town as Dr. J—the investigation begins with a disturbing contradiction: M.J. remembers growing up in Trillberry alongside two children named Jax and Leo. Old recordings prove they existed. The town remembers none of it. Then a collection of unidentified journals is discovered hidden inside the Trillberry library. The deeper M.J. digs, the larger the problem becomes. Missing people. Conflicting histories. Altered memories. Strange recordings. Documents that disagree with what everyone believes happened. This isn't about proving the paranormal. It's about following the evidence. Because in Trillberry, memory and history are not always the same thing.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent wants long term yields lower, while Fed Chair Kevin Warsh has argued that markets should do more of the work. That tension is becoming one of the biggest stories for investors.In this episode of The Financial Exchange, Chuck Zodda and Mike Armstrong discuss the renewed U.S.-Canada trade dispute, Bessent's warning of an “economic D-Day” for Iran, and whether China and India may determine if tougher sanctions actually work. They also examine whether the Treasury could use its general account to fund bond buybacks, why that may only delay the borrowing problem, and what Warsh needs to address at Jackson Hole as markets weigh the Fed, inflation, gold, and long term rates.

In Julia Hebner's "Jeff," Marsha is a phone sex operator who takes a call from a man who confesses that he is a pedophile. Throughout the duration of the phone call, Marsha loses touch with what's real, as she gets wrapped up in Jeff's disturbing confessions.Exploring the experience of gaslighting and existing as a woman under the male gaze, "Jeff," illuminates the inherently contradictory expectations placed on women to act as both caretakers and agents of sex for primarily male pleasure. They must be a saint and a sinner when desired, according to Hebner. As this conversation between Marsha and Jeff takes place, Hebner represents their exchange of words in stereotypical role-play scenarios, nurse and patient, teacher and student, to demonstrate this contradiction enacted by the patriarchy.In this episode of the VIFF Podcast, we talk to Hebner about stereotypical sex worker roles, internalized misogyny, the experience of being catcalled as early as the age of 10, and why telling these stories is important.This podcast is brought to you by the Vancouver International Film Festival.Presented on the traditional and unceded territory of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), and sel̓íl̓witulh (Tsleil-Waututh) nations.

To a significant degree, Bible teaching consists of a perspective or opinion ... a point of view. You've probably noticed the seemingly infinite number of those different theories and expressions. Many times, one well-known church or pastor can express the polar opposite of another prominent—if not trendy—minister with a popular following. It becomes an academic or philosophical debate about things that are only spiritually discerned. The viewpoints can often be traced back to narratives that were handed down from previous ideologies by those who came before us. When the narrative is embraced as the ultimate truth, it becomes the mission to fit the concepts into the boundaries of that narrative. It can also be the result of interpretation without context. Combining the old and new covenants may also be a contributing factor. Church groupies wander all over, looking for someone they can trust to give them answers and interpret the Bible for them. Not everyone can be right, right? It can leave so many in a state of confusion. In this day of instant social media, it's easy to feel overwhelmed by all of it when trying to get answers. And for those who have encountered the gospel of grace and been freed from many burdensome and misguided doctrines with the help of God's Spirit ... how can we possibly begin to have a positive impact on so many others who are trapped in a system that touts various forms of legalism and religious bondage? Here's a hint: It doesn't start by trying to convince them to think like you do.

He also rips the latest ESPN under-25 roster ranking, the Bears' "rent-free" denial, conflicting quarterback surveys, and the weird framing around Jordan Love as the new "football nerd king." Key discussion points: Micah Parsons' actual comments vs. the social media version of them Why coordinator availability produced almost zero real insight The Commanders signing Stefon Diggs and what it means for the Brandon Aiyuk situation ESPN Milwaukee's take on the Packers' young talent ranking and first-round drafting Conflicting executive/coach QB rankings and the limits of "trust the experts" Mina Kimes on Jordan Love and the casual-fan perception gap This episode is brought to you by PrizePicks!

As football season slowly approaches, the question of where the Chicago Bears will build their new home stadium remains unanswered, and it might surprise you how this debate is relevant to you in the workplace. At first glance, the NFL and employment may not have much in common. But beneath the headlines and speculation lies an important lesson relevant to both spaces: how to negotiate well, no matter what's at stake.  Prinz partner Kristen Prinz and paralegal supervisor Christina Martinez are all too familiar with the many moving parts that make up a deal like one the Bears are currently drafting. In this episode, they dive deep into the links between the search for a new stadium and the most common negotiations we see in our own workplaces.  Listen to Kristen and Chris discuss:  An overview of the stadium saga (so far) Conflicting factors around the Bears staying in Chicago Questions to ask yourself before preparing for a negotiation How the Bears are positioning the value they bring to the table—and how you can do the same The role that timing plays in any negotiation  Whether you're an employer reviewing your company's contracts, an employee negotiating a new job offer, or simply a football fan, this episode has something for every listener.  Stay Connected and Learn More Read Kristen and Chris' blog, Playing the Long Game: How the Bears Stadium Negotiations Apply to Your Workplace  Kristen Prinz  Christina Martinez  The Prinz Law Firm 

July 6th, at the northwestern tip of Horn Island, a body washes ashore face down in the water.   It's the body of a missing 18-year-old, college football player Nolan Wells who disappeared after taking a boat with friends to celebrate the Fourth of July.   Since then, there have been more questions than answers. Witnesses share vastly different accounts of what happened on the island with Nolan. Some of his friends shut down their social media, some opt to do interviews, and some quietly post tributes on Instagram.   But Nolan Wells' loved ones are still looking for answers that investigators aren't providing… Were there things on his phone that were deleted from the day he went missing? If he stayed behind on the island, why didn't he have his phone or keys with him? And what's with this circulating audio that netizens swear they can hear people shouting, ‘Nolan's freaking dead!'         Full show notes available at RottenMangoPodcast.com Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Drop us a line or two . . .The episode kicks off with Queenie sharing a genuinely sweet midweek adventure: she took two of her assignee's kids — a 17-year-old and a 13-year-old — to the Cheesecake Factory while their parents were opening a bank account. The older one was laser-focused on driving regulations and motorcycle licenses (Queenie admirably held her tongue on the motorcycle safety speech). The younger one? Entirely concerned with what time school starts and what's for breakfast. Kids, man. Dad, who's been in the country solo for five months waiting for his family to arrive, looked — her words — so happy and so relieved. It's a quietly moving little story buried in a Tuesday errand.Then it's time for the cannabis check-in. TT has consumed — a Flora Cal Farms gummy, working through her stash while counting down the days to her Massachusetts trip and a restock. Queenie jumps on that segue to mention there's a governor's race heating up, with one candidate planning to fund state needs through cannabis revenue — you know, the things the federal government has apparently decided are optional. Before anyone can get too excited, Queenie drops a bombshell: Massachusetts may have a ballot initiative this November to *repeal* recreational cannabis legalization. Not scale back, not adjust — repeal. The culprit being cited for upticks in youth cannabis use? Largely unregulated hemp-derived products sold at gas stations, not licensed dispensaries — which, it should be noted, run tighter ID checks than New York. Opponents want to return to a decriminalized-but-not-legal framework. The ladies are bewildered but not surprised. Meanwhile, California's state fair just made cannabis its biggest attraction ever, complete with consumption areas. Conflicting signals, as always.The research corner delivers something genuinely hopeful: a phase-two London trial involving 120 dementia patients found that nearly 90% receiving THC and CBD showed significantly reduced agitation over twelve weeks, compared to typical anti-agitation medications. For anyone who has watched a family member with advanced dementia deteriorate — or watched a caregiver reach their absolute limit — this lands. Queenie notes that agitation is often the tipping point when families say they can't do it anymore. No serious safety issues were reported. Caveats noted (not peer-reviewed, not a first-line therapy, professional supervision required), but the hope is real and both hosts feel it.The "Wait, What?" segment this week is actually a delight: French Sundays. The concept, apparently trending, is simply treating Sunday as the French traditionally do — a full day of rest, family, and absolutely nothing productive. No errands, no scheduled activities, just slow and still. Queenie and Queenie both immediately recognize it as childhood. Before stores were open seven days, before travel sports, before the internet had opinions about your productivity — Sunday was just *off*. The deeper point: you have to be able to do it guilt-free. Not white-knuckling your way through a nap while mentally listing everything you're ignoring. Just... being. Self-hibernation, as Queenie puts it. The episode later ends with TT performing an original French Sundays poem — wine at noon, bread, cheese, no apologies — and it's genuinely lovely.TT's Choice lands on number 23: hot flashes forever vs. night sweats forever. Neither is good. TT picks night sweats immediately — at least you're not performing a personal inferno for a live audience. Queenie agrees, recounting watching a woman her age just *become a furnace* mid-conversation. The solidarity is real. Queenie also admits she still gets the occasional night sweat — that sudden wash of heat moving through your body and then, yes, the cooling bamboo sheets she invested in are now cold and wet. They work. They do not work *enough.* The furnace wins. Another item for the list.Speaking of lists — the Fuck It List delivers this week, and it's a genuine victory lap. The mystery of the missing keys (lost eleven times, found in the bra, the freezer, the planter by the stairs, the coat pockets) has been solved. Queenie zip-tied the key ring directly to the purse. The purse never leaves her mother's side. The lanyard is long enough that she doesn't have to lift the entire purse to unlock a door. No tech, no app, no smart lock — just a six-inch zip tie and the accumulated frustration of a devoted, exhausted daughter who finally said *fuck it* and handled it. She felt triumphant. She deserved to.The episode closes with travel energy — TT and her partner are packing for the Cape, with TT's approach being "throw things on the bed and hope for the best" versus her partner's meticulous shirt count. A suitcase mostly of new underpants is involved. Brynn (daughter) has passed her unofficial puppy audition after successfully dog-sitting, and the puppy in question is growing fast and already doing a 30-second sit-stay before dinner. The pig update is, as always, essential: Bartholomew the 180-pound pet pig demands exactly three Cheerios after using the litter box, has claimed the couch permanently, and once hid himself entirely under a mountain of blankets — invisible, enormous, content. His unofficial co-owner would apparently not contest sole custody. The pig whisperer of the situation? Linda. Alan will not go near it.Next episode, TT will be seaside. Queenie will be counting the days. Everyone is encouraged to try a French Sunday.---## SHORT SUMMARYQueenie meets her assignee's kids over Cheesecake Factory excess, TT works through her cannabis stash while Massachusetts considers *repealing* recreational legalization, and a London dementia study offers real hope about THC and CBD for agitation. Also: night sweats vs. hot flashes, the triumphant zip-tie solution to a lost-key saga, a 180-pound pig who demands three Cheerios post-litter-box, and a pitch for guilt-free French Sundays — complete with an original poem.---## TOP 5 PULL QUOTES**Queenie:** "I understand people who are concerned about heroin and drug use — that ruins your life. But come on, this is pot we're talking about. Not only is it not harmful in most cases when it's used judiciously, it's helpful to people. It's helpful to so many people."**TT:** "I'd have to pick night sweats, even though I still get them sometimes, because at least you're not in public — you're not flaring up and having people stare at you going, 'Dear, are you okay?'"**Queenie:** "Bring the zip ties, bring ingenuity, bring a solution born of love — and zip tie the key to the purse, the purse she never puts down."**TT:** "You have to be able to do it guilt-free. Not sit there thinking, 'God, I should be doing this, I'm just lazy, what is wrong with me?' Because sometimes that's what you need to do."**TT (French Sundays poem):** "No guilt, no hustle, no excuses. Just bread and cheese and no apologies. The French pour the wine at noon and stay there, and nothing productive is missed."---## EPISODE VIBEThis one is warm and a little weary in the best possible way — the kind of episode that feels like a long phone call with someone who gets it. There's genuine tenderness in the stories (a relieved dad reunited with his family after five months, a daughter zip-tying keys to her mother's purse with quiet, determined love), real anger at the absurdity of the cannabis policy landscape, and actual hope in the dementia research. The humor is lived-in rather than performed — night sweat solidarity, a pig who has claimed the couch and everyone just accepts it, a suitcase of underpants as legitimate travel strategy. French Sundays gives it a closing exhale, a collective permission slip to just stop for a minute. It's an episode that earns its wry tone because underneath it, these two are clearly paying attention to the world and to each other.

S6:E62 Success becomes surprisingly heavy when you're carrying someone else's expectations. In this conversation, Dr. LL sits down with leadership coach Michelle Pollack to explore why entrepreneurs become exhausted by constantly chasing external definitions of success instead of intentionally building businesses aligned with their own values and strengths. If people don't trust themselves, they begin borrowing certainty from everyone else. And when businesses repeatedly shift direction based on outside opinions, customers (and increasingly AI systems) receive fragmented signals that make the business harder to understand. Together they discuss discernment, intentional leadership, decision-making, burnout, and building a business that reflects who you actually are. Core Problems Entrepreneur burnout despite constant effort Conflicting advice creating decision fatigue Misalignment between values and business strategy Practical Takeaways Develop a filter for evaluating business advice. Measure progress against your own definition of success. Consistency begins with internal clarity before external execution. Timestamps 00:00 Why burnout isn't always about workload 02:30 Too many experts, too many opinions 08:45 Creating a discernment filter 18:20 Defining success 34:10 Sustainable leadership Who This Episode Is For Entrepreneurs, founders, executives, coaches, and business owners seeking sustainable growth. At STEERus, we continue to observe that businesses communicate externally what leaders first establish internally. Clarity of leadership produces clarity of signal, reducing misinterpretation for both people and AI systems.

Victoria Cushman was just 29 years old when she was found murdered inside her Warwick, Rhode Island apartment, just steps from the sporting goods store where she worked. For years, her family waited for answers and eventually, the case seemed to have them: a suspect known to the case from day one, who investigators said had motive to end Vickie's life. The evidence was circumstantial, but it was compelling. A secret relationship. Conflicting statements. A timeline that seemed to close in around one man. To a jury, the pieces fit. But fitting isn't the same as true. Years later, the story everyone thought they trusted cracked wide open.

In this conversation, Lee sits down with two of Unleashing Leaders' top change agents, Skye Connors and Emily LaPorta, to tackle a problem every high performer eventually hits: too many priorities, not enough hours. Skye and Emily built UL's internal SOP for handling conflicting task requests and walk through how it works, from the physical warning signs of overload to the tiebreakers that step in when two tasks conflict. Feeling overloaded usually means you're trusted with more, not that you're falling short. Lee, Skye, and Emily break down the prioritization shortcuts that quietly wreck teams: First in, first out. Last in, first out. Whoever screams the loudest. And the fallback of declaring "everything is priority one," which just pushes the decision onto your team, leaving them to default to whatever's easiest. What UL actually uses instead is a framework that sorts commitments by required, desired, and optional, weighs critical path and impact, and falls back on real tiebreakers, like prior commitment and relative priority, when everything else ties. Emily closes with a reminder that this gets easier with practice: "Am I required?" and "What is the impact?" stop needing a checklist and become instinct.   Additional Resources Attend Unleashing Leaders University: https://unleashingleadersuniversity.com/curriculum Learn more about Unleashing Leaders: https://unleashingleaders.com/ Follow Unleashing Leaders on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/unleashingleaders Connect with Lee on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/leeallenscott/ Follow Unleashing Leaders on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/UnleashingLeaders/ Follow Unleashing Leaders on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/unleashingleaders/   Key Takeaways: Feeling overloaded is a sign of trust and competence, not a warning sign of failure. Notice the physical tell (tight chest, racing heart) before it drives a bad decision. First in, first out, last in, first out, and "whoever screams loudest" all fail as standalone strategies. Declaring everything priority one pushes the decision to your team, and they'll default to whatever seems easiest, leaving the hard stuff undone. Sort every ask into required, desired, or optional before you commit to it. When priorities truly tie, fall back on real tiebreakers like prior commitment and relative project priority. With practice, questions like "Am I required?" and "What is the impact?" stop needing a checklist and become instinct.
