Ever feel like you and your partner are speaking totally different languages when it comes to sex? One of you wants spontaneity, the other needs to feel emotionally close first. One of you craves novelty, the other finds comfort in what already works. Here's the thing: it's probably not about compatibility. It's about your sex personality types. In this episode, we walk you through all five types, what drives each one, the superpowers they bring to a relationship, the shadows that can quietly cause friction, and how knowing your type (and your partner's) can completely change the way you understand each other.

Zoning codes run to 3,000 pages, contradict themselves, and change without warning — and right now, they're the single biggest reason most housing projects never leave a napkin.Recorded live at World of Modular 2026, this episode brings in Avi Kaufman, co-founder and Chief Real Estate Officer of FutureLot, to unpack what it actually takes to answer "what can I build here?" across 30,000 US jurisdictions. Avi started with a light-bulb moment during refugee resettlement — a carriage house behind a main house, housing a family no one knew could be housed there — and built a platform to make that question answerable at scale. **What we get into:** - The pre-feasibility gap: more housing projects die from discouragement than from bad economics — nobody's counting the permits never filed - Massachusetts alone has 200+ definitions of "gross floor area." Multiply that across 30,000 jurisdictions and you understand why builders stall - FutureLot's traffic-light system (green/yellow) tells builders whether a project clears each zoning criterion before a dollar goes to plans - Why the homeowner-builder conversation is broken — and how a shared interface changes "let me drive by" into a real-time answer at any US address - The tension between local zoning control and the tyranny of whoever has time to show up to meetings - What a customer who lives in the tool 4–5 hours a day looks like — and why that feedback loop is the product **Chapters:** - 00:00 — Intro: What FutureLot does - 00:50 — Origin story: Afghanistan, carriage houses, and untapped housing potential - 02:01 — Why zoning data, not building? - 03:35 — What real estate taught Avi: visuals and ease of use aren't nice-to-haves - 04:30 — Product walkthrough: the builder experience - 07:14 — The homeowner interface and what 8 minutes of dwell time means - 09:10 — Connector, not replacement: the role of FutureLot in the stack - 10:38 — 30,000 jurisdictions and the data complexity behind one screen - 12:11 — Two years in: the regulatory maze is worse than you think - 14:00 — Should we standardize zoning? The tension between local control and paralysis - 15:19 — AI + human review: how the sauce gets made - 16:28 — Trust mechanisms: overrides, alarms, source citations - 18:42 — The customer as collaborator: ground truth flows both ways - 20:30 — Roadmap: 50-state coverage, multifamily, lot splits - 21:07 — The inflection point: why now feels different- 22:18 — Find FutureLot **Find FutureLot:** - [futurelot.com](https://futurelot.com) — free account, 3 property searches - [avi@futurelot.com](mailto:avi@futurelot.com) - [YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/@FutureLot) - [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/tryfuturelot) - [LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/company/futurelot) - [X / Twitter](https://x.com/futurelot) - [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/futurelot/) **Most Podern:** - [Spotify](https://open.spotify.com/show/3zYvX2lRZOpHcZW41WGVrp) - [Apple Podcasts](https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/most-podern-podcast/id1725756164) - [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/most.podern) - [YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/@MostPodern)

What happens when you've spent decades being the most reliable person in the room — and you finally stop to ask: reliable for whom?   In this warm, wide-ranging episode of Leaderspace, host Cathleen O'Sullivan is joined by Linda Misegadis — senior government strategist at UKG, global DEI ambassador, certified payroll professional, and host of the Her Resources Podcast. Linda built her career the way many high-achievers do: nose down, hard work, always available, always solving. She led one of the most complex technology change projects in Denver's public sector history and then walked into the VP of Sales of the company whose software she'd just implemented and told him, clearly and directly, that she didn't think they understood the public sector space at all. He offered her a job.   Linda and Cathleen explore what it costs to tie your identity to being the one everyone counts on, how introversion becomes a leadership superpower once you stop letting others use it as a label that limits you, and why the most important question in any career transition isn't what's next — it's who am I actually? They talk about the trap of availability culture, what burnout really looks like when you've built your reward system around being indispensable, and the slow, nonlinear work of separating your professional identity from your sense of self.   They also go deep on what it means to lead through complexity without consensus paralysis, how COVID quietly pushed Linda from observer to connector, and the particular challenge women still face in corporate life in 2026 — not just in being heard, but in being seen for the right things. This is a conversation about the courage it takes to stop performing reliability and start building something that actually belongs to you.   If you've ever been the go-to person, the Swiss Army knife, the one who always raises their hand — this one is for you. Cathleen's question for this episode: what is it costing you to keep staying quiet about something you've already noticed?   Episode Timeline:   00:00:00 Welcome and Introduction 00:02:38 Introducing Linda Misegadis 00:07:04 Heritage, Roots, and Identity 00:11:09 What Has Shaped Your Identity? 00:15:10 The Trap of Being the Reliable One 00:19:09 Who Is Linda Now? 00:21:39 AI, Layoffs, and the Human Side of Work 00:31:36 How COVID Made Linda a Connector 00:34:17 Introversion as a Leadership Strength 00:40:29 Leading Without a Title 00:44:00 The Audacious Move That Changed Everything 00:48:00 The Risk of Always Being the Problem Solver 00:53:46 The Reward Behind Constant Availability 01:00:52 How the Reward Has Shifted 01:04:14 Approaching Complex Problems 01:11:24 Women's Voices in Corporate Life — Still Not There Yet 01:13:36 One Piece of Advice for Women Entering Leadership Key Takeaways:   The Reliable One Is a Role, Not an Identity: Building your sense of self around being available to everyone is a reward system, not a foundation. Recognising what that role is costing you — in energy, in clarity, in career direction — is the first step to changing it. Introversion Is a Skill Gap, Not a Personality Sentence: Linda didn't network because she'd never been taught how, not because she was incapable. Once she separated the label from the limitation, she built a podcast, a community, and a career chapter on her own terms. Observation Is Underrated Leadership Data: Stepping back and watching — really watching — builds pattern recognition that others miss. The quietest person in the room often sees the most. Someone Has to Make the Call: Consensus has its place, but leadership means being willing to own a decision, not manage a committee. The people around you are counting on someone to choose. The New Reward Has to Be Real: When you stop being the one who solves everything, the satisfaction has to come from somewhere else. For Linda, it became the pride of watching her team step up. The reward needs to be replaced — not just removed. About Linda Misegadis:   Linda Misegadis is a Senior Government Strategist at UKG and Global Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging Ambassador, based in Colorado. She is a Certified Payroll Professional (CPP), Certified Public Manager (CPM), IPMA-CP, and Prosci Certified Change Manager who has spent her career helping organisations navigate complexity — and bring people with them through it. She previously served as Director of Citywide Payroll Operations and Administration for the City and County of Denver, where she led a workforce management deployment across 13,000 employees. Her defining career pivot came when she walked into the VP of Sales of the company whose software she had just implemented, told him plainly that she didn't think they understood the public sector space, and left with a job offer. She is also the co-host of the Her Resources Podcast.

In the latest episode of Off the Clock from the Legal Value Network, hosts Keith Maziarek and Justin Ergler sit down with Mark Wasserman, CEO Emeritus of Eversheds Sutherland, for a candid, unscripted look at the realities of modern legal leadership. Mark pulls back the curtain on the industry's biggest shifts, from managing massive global mergers to navigating the next frontier of business. Here are 3 key takeaways from the conversation: The Imperative of Over-Communication: Mark shares his journey of taking on a managing partner role at 43, realizing within six months the challenges of balancing a massive M&A practice with firm leadership. His number one piece of advice for new leaders? Over-communicate early and often with clients, partners, and business professionals alike. The Reality of Global Change Management: Hear the behind-the-scenes story of the 2017 combination that created Eversheds Sutherland. Mark discusses the nuances of merging disparate regional cultures, aligning egos, and why "presencing"—physically showing up at offices from Leeds to the Middle East—is vital to building authentic internal trust. AI as a Connector, Not a Displacer: Striking a balance on the industry's hottest topic, Mark argues that while AI will undoubtedly shift billable structures and reduce routine review hours, it will actually increase the premium on human relationships. The future belongs to firms that seamlessly combine data capabilities with elite judgment and empathy.

Blank stares after a thoughtful question can make even great teachers doubt themselves. We have all been there: one student answers, everyone else checks out, and a rich Jewish text turns into a worksheet. So we focus on what actually changes the room fast practical classroom techniques you can try tomorrow to spark real thinking and real conversation.We start by reimagining chavruta, not as “turn and talk,” but as a structured partnership with roles like Questioner, Connector, and Challenger. That simple move turns reading into dialogue and gives every learner a clear way to contribute. From there we shift into inquiry-based Jewish learning: treating Torah and Talmud like problems to solve instead of facts to recite. We lean into tension, contradiction, and moral complexity, and we practice the hardest skill of all not rescuing students too quickly so they can discover meaning for themselves.Then we widen the lens to experiential Jewish education. We talk about embodied learning through acting out biblical scenes, using movement to build memory, and helping students locate themselves inside the ideas. We also share reflection prompts that move from learning about Judaism to living Judaism, plus ritual as pedagogy: experiencing Shabbat with candles and quiet before explaining what it “means.” You will walk away with concrete tools for student engagement, deeper comprehension, and stronger Jewish identity.If this helps, subscribe so you do not miss what we are trying next, share the episode with a colleague, and leave a review so more Jewish educators can find it. Chapter Markers0:01Welcome And Sponsor Message2:04From Blank Stares To Dialogue2:55Chavruta Roles That Spark Talk4:19Treat Text Like A Mystery5:31Learn By Moving And Acting6:45Reflection That Makes It Personal7:35Ritual As A Teaching Tool8:13One Small Shift Challenge8:54A Closing Question For YouWellnesse Natural Personal Care ProductsWellnesse was founded by a mom who wanted healthier options for families.

In this episode of the HR business marketing podcast, A Better HR Business, Ben and his guest, Conor Lynch, digital innovator, educator, and author of “Learn Earn Own”, talk about how individuals and HR professionals can future-proof their careers and businesses as technology accelerates the pace of change and automation looms. Conor Lynch is a digital innovator and educator who grew his personal brand, Connector, from a side hustle into a seven-figure business. With over 25 years of experience across marketing, technology, and communications, he has worked with global brands including Guinness and Coca-Cola. He began his career in traditional marketing after graduating from Smurfit College, Ireland's leading business school, before moving into online and social media as the internet reshaped the industry. Today, he focuses on helping individuals and organisations build long-term digital assets, embracing AI and automation as the next major shift in work and business. Learn Earn Own challenges the century-old idea of the career ladder—study hard, get a job, and climb the ranks—and argues it no longer reflects the reality of modern work. In today's economy, relying on a single income stream is increasingly risky, and careers are shifting from linear paths to dynamic portfolios of assets. Rather than encouraging people to quit their jobs, the book focuses on building alongside employment: learning new skills, creating additional income streams, and owning digital and intellectual assets that compound over time. It introduces a practical framework for anyone—regardless of background—to become an “experimenter” by building career assets such as personal brands, digital products, content, networks, and expertise. Packed with tools, templates, AI prompts, and real-world strategies, Learn Earn Own is a hands-on guide to designing a more independent, resilient, and opportunity-rich career in the age of AI. You'll hear practical strategies for using AI in consulting, business growth strategies for consultants, and how to stand out as a consultant amid rapid industry change.

THE PILGRIMAGE JOURNEY CONTINUES FOR PILGRIM CHAD It seems as though the default choice for walking the Camino de Santiago these days is to walk either the Francés route or the Portuguese route. Now, that does oversimplify things, but the statistics from the pilgrim's office in Santiago de Compostela do show that those have been the two most-walked routes in recent years. My guest on the podcast this week,Chad, has walked both those routes, and now he has taken his pilgrimage practice to other less traveled routes. What I love about talking with Chad is that he loves the spiritual practice of pilgrimage as much as I do, and it's become a regular part of his life and his family's life. This time Chad will be talking about what he calls his “connector Camino”, which he shared with his 25 year old daughter and regular pilgrimage partner, Bonnie. What does that mean, connector Camino? Well, you'll see. Here are the routes Chad is sharing about: Camino Lebaniego Camino Vadiniense Camino San Salvador The church he talks about with the the relic of the cross of Jesus Christ is at the Monastery of Santo Toribio de Liébana. The mountain location he talked about is called Fuente Dé, and it is located inside the Picos de Europa National Park. If you'd like to get to know Chad from his first Camino experience to now, check out these previous episodes: Season 2, Episode 18: “A Conversation with Pilgrim Chad Before His First Pilgrimage on the Camino Francés”  Season 3, Episode 12: "After the Camino with Pilgrim Chad”  Season 5, Episode 6: "Chad writes the next two chapters of his pilgrimage story"    #youonthecamino #caminodesantiago #firsttimepilgrim #thecaminoexperience #caminopodcast

In this episode, Justin McNamara interviews an interview with Niki Conte from the Massachusetts Health Connector, who explains the state's insurance marketplace and upcoming enrollment deadlines.

"Don't celebrate closing a sale, celebrate opening a relationship." — Patricia Fripp Check Out These Highlights: I chose this quote because the last step in my sales framework is not to close the sale but to open the relationship – Clearly Patricia Fripp gets me! Also, feel the difference between closing and opening. I choose to open all day, every day. I see sales leaders talk about building relationships in sales, yet most of the time, I don't see them provide tangible behaviors to actually build relationships that create client advocates.    About Joe Mindak: Joe Mindak is the Co-founder and "Connector in Chief" at Nolodex and the founder of The Connective, a community built around relationship-led growth.

This week, join guest host Patrick Haraden, Employee Benefits and Risk Management Strategist at Lockton Companies for a discussion about Insurance and Employee Benefits along with his guest Nikki Conte, the Director of Outreach and Education for the Massachusetts Health Connector, explaining how the state's official insurance marketplace functions. The discussion clarifies that the Connector serves individuals, families, and small businesses who lack access to employer-sponsored insurance, including early retirees and those aging out of parental plans. A major highlight is the ConnectorCare program, which combines federal tax credits with state subsidies to provide low-cost or zero-premium plans with no deductibles. The experts emphasize the importance of using the official mahealthconnector.org website to avoid predatory sites and explain how qualifying life events allow for enrollment outside the standard year-end window. Furthermore, the dialogue distinguishes MassHealth (Medicaid) from Medicare, noting that the Connector simplifies the process by using a single application to determine eligibility for various state programs. Finally, the source outlines the metallic tier system, helping consumers understand the trade-offs between monthly premiums and out-of-pocket costs.

In this special memorial episode of the Arete Coach Podcast, host Severin Sorensen honors the extraordinary life and influence of Larry Cassidy—Marine Corps officer, corporate leader, Vistage Master Chair, mentor, and friend. Drawing from multiple past interviews, Sorensen reconstructs Larry's story, weaving together personal history, powerful coaching moments, signature questions, and original tribute songs written in Larry's honor. Born in 1937 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Larry excelled academically and showed an early aptitude for public speaking. He later served as a Marine Corps Lieutenant and Captain, leading Marines in the Pacific region with discipline, courage, and “bark on the wood” truthfulness—a philosophy that shaped his entire coaching career. After a distinguished corporate career at General Mills, Quaker Oats, and Wilson Sporting Goods, Larry became a Vistage/TEC Chair in 1987. Over 38 years he earned numerous Vistage awards—including the Robert Nourse Chair of the Year Award and multiple Master Chair Awards—and became one of the most respected leaders in the Vistage global community. Sorensen pays tribute to his friend through archival dialogue, reflective commentary, and two original songs: “Bark on the Wood – The Unvarnished Truth” and “He Learned to Listen to Understand.” Larry discovered his true calling—guiding leaders through curiosity-driven, truth-seeking, deeply human conversations. He built a reputation for: piercing, soul-searching questionsempathetic listeningcourageous truth-telling (“with the bark on”)community-building (“The Romper Room” chair gatherings)and an unwavering belief in each leader's potential The Arete Coach Podcast continues to explore the art and science of executive coaching at the highest levels.
