He also provides a unique perspective on navigating industry changes, drawing parallels to the evolving landscape of college sports and the "transfer portal."

Guest InformationName: Jason Holzman Title: SVP, Creative, Production, and Brand Strategy  Organization: Macy's Expertise:Creative leadership in retail, media, and advertisingScaling creative teams in high-growth and high-change environments AI's role in creative operations  Episode SummaryThe future of creative leadership isn't about having all the answers—it's about navigating uncertainty with trust, adaptability, and a new mindset. In this episode, we sit down with Jason Holzman, SVP of Creative, Production, and Brand Strategy at Macy's, to explore how leaders can shift from control to enablement, balance execution with creativity in the age of AI, and build trust through transparency, empathy, and positivity. Whether you're a creative ops leader, project manager, or CMO, this conversation is packed with insights on leading through disruption and thriving when the old playbooks no longer work.  Key Takeaways  Leadership in creative ops is no longer about control—it's about enablement :The best leaders aren't making every decision; they're creating the conditions for better decisions to be made.    Trust is the most underrated skill in leadership :Uncertainty isn't going away, but teams that trust their leaders—and each other—move through change faster and more effectively. AI is shifting the balance between execution and creativity:Leaders must rethink how they measure value, ensuring that efficiency doesn't come at the cost of originality.Transparency, empathy, and positivity aren't just buzzwords—they're survival strategies:In times of rapid change, clarity and human connection are what keep creative teams engaged and performing.The future of leadership is about designing for change, not just reacting to it:The best teams aren't waiting for stability—they're building systems that thrive in uncertainty.

Hey friends, Chase here. Today, I want to talk about something we all face at some point—the moment when what once felt like a dream becomes a trap. It's a tough place to be, but if we can recognize it early, we can turn it into an opportunity for growth and reinvention. When Success Becomes Stifling Back in 2010, I co-founded CreativeLive with a simple but ambitious idea: to give the world access to free, world-class creative education. We started small, but over time, we grew to serve tens of millions of people and raised more than $60 million from top-tier investors like Richard Branson, Reid Hoffman, and Google Ventures. At first, my unconventional background as a creator—not an MBA—was celebrated. I brought a personal brand and a community along for the ride, and it seemed like a competitive advantage. But eventually, the pressure to conform crept in. The same people who once admired my unique approach began questioning it. The Subtle Drift Away from Purpose What started as small adjustments in how I operated became a slow drift off course. It wasn't dramatic at first—just a few degrees off. But after walking that path for long enough, I found myself far from where I wanted to be. The very thing I had built to inspire creativity felt stifling and uncreative. And here's the thing—this story isn't unique to me. It happens to many of us. The artist who becomes a manager. The entrepreneur buried in spreadsheets. The corporate climber who wakes up one day and wonders how they got there. If you've ever felt that way—or if you do in the future—this is for you. Signs It's Time for a Change Listen to Your Gut When something feels off for too long, it's your gut telling you it's time to move. Ignoring that voice comes with real consequences—stress, poor health, and a fog that clouds your creativity and joy. Nothing Lasts Forever Even the most exciting roles can run their course. Dreams change, and that's okay. Letting go of a title or identity that no longer serves you is hard, but it's often necessary for growth. Build Your Escape Pod Early Don't wait for a crisis to figure out your next move. Start building skills, connections, and momentum now. When it's time to make a change, you'll be ready to transition on your terms—not out of desperation. Embrace Change as a Constant Change is inevitable. It's uncomfortable, but it's almost always a catalyst for something better. When you start hearing that little voice whispering about a new chapter, don't ignore it. Trust it. Your future self will thank you. Until next time, take care and keep pushing toward what feels true and right for you. Enjoy!

Thank you for listening to our Finding Brave show, ranked in the Top 100 Apple Career Podcasts! Please note: This is an updated “Holiday Selection” re-release of Episode #193. “If the pace of change is ever faster, ever faster, ever faster, and we already feel like we don't have enough time to keep up or we are overwhelmed or we're not able to show up fully, then we need a big reset because the future does not play out well if we continue to buy into not just what society says, but also what this pace of change is doing.” – April Rinne With the amount of change happening daily in workplaces around the globe, adopting the right mindset can be key for employees, managers and leaders alike. Today's deeply inspiring Finding Brave guest breaks down the concept of having a “Flux Mindset,” which helps individuals and organizations consistently view change as an opportunity, not a threat, by being clear and grounded in their values.   Ranked one of the world's “50 Leading Female Futurists” by Forbes, April Rinne is a change navigator: she helps individuals and organizations rethink and reshape their relationship with change, uncertainty, and a world in flux. A World Economic Forum Young Global Leader, she is a trusted advisor to organizations ranging from Airbnb, Nike, Intuit, the World Bank, the Inter-American Development Bank, NESTA, Trōv, AnyRoad, and Unsettled, as well as governments spanning Singapore to South Africa, Canada to Colombia, Italy to India. April is the author of the inspiring book Flux: 8 Superpowers for Thriving in Constant Change. A graduate of Harvard Law School, April is a futurist, advisor, global development executive, microfinance lawyer, investor, mental health advocate, certified yoga teacher, globetrotter (100+ countries), and insatiable handstander. She also harnesses very personal experiences with flux, including the death of both of her parents in a car accident when she was 20. Through her travels and tragedy, vision and values, global perspective and grounded sense of purpose, April helps others better understand how we see, think about, struggle with, and ultimately forge positive relationships with change. In this enlightening episode, April shows the tremendous benefits you can realize by rethinking and reshaping your relationship with change and uncertainty. Once you understand what change is and learn how to embrace it, opportunities will begin to appear and allow you to be more prepared for the future, whatever comes your way.   Highlights from this Episode: April's definition of “Flux” and the role that incorporating a Flux Mindset plays in helping people adapt to an ever-changing world [7:10] Her personal life journey to Flux, plus some of the key questions that she asks herself to maintain perspective [12:47] How April is contributing by serving the world what it needs right now [15:31] What you can do to begin seeing the “invisible,” and the reasons why individuals tend to miss seeing so much around them that would be extremely beneficial to see [28:37] Her tips for bringing the unconscious to the conscious and why we need to [32:01] Ways to address and resolve your fears and detach from future outcomes at the same time [35:07] What managers and leaders need to do differently in a world of Flux [40:30] Where so many professionals are going wrong when it comes to mindset [42:23] Why April considers herself a futurist, and what it really means to be one [44:35]   For More Information: April's Latest Book, Flux: 8 Superpowers for Thriving in Constant Change https://aprilrinne.com/ https://twitter.com/aprilrinne https://www.linkedin.com/in/aprilrinne https://www.instagram.com/aprilrinne/ https://www.facebook.com/aprilrinne   Kathy's Resources Mentioned: KATHY'S DIGITAL CAREER COACHING CLONE - ‘KATHY CAPRINO AI” - IS HERE!   I'm over the moon to announce the release of my new Kathy Caprino AI career and leadership coaching clone!

The founder of the consulting firm 18 Coffees joined the Gartner Talent Angle Podcast to share examples of organizations undergoing transformation, and he extols the virtues of effective communication, adaptive capability and revised assumptions.

Hot dogs come in packages of ten. Hot dog buns come in packages of eight. Why? Is this some sort of marketing ploy or plot? What could possibly be the reason for this obvious mismatch? This episode begins by revealing the explanation. https://www.womenshealthmag.com/food/a40984485/hot-dogs-buns-packages/ Think of all the batteries you use in a day. A good part of your life is powered by batteries. From your flashlight, all your remotes, your car to your cellphone – all these devices require batteries to function. As necessary as they are, you may not know a lot about batteries. For example, why are there different sizes? Why do batteries seem to last longer than before? Joining me to answer these questions and to reveal the interesting history of battery technology is James Morton Turner, author of the book Charged: A History of Batteries and Lessons for a Clean Energy Future (https://amzn.to/3QYnR1n). You probably cringe when you see old pictures of yourself because your clothes and hairstyle look so horrible. Why is that? They looked fine at the time the picture was taken. What causes these things to fall in and out of style? It comes down to culture and status. Culture changes over time and so does our desire for status. That's according to W. David Marx. David is a long-time writer on culture based in Tokyo and he is author of a book called Status and Culture: How Our Desire for Social Rank Creates Taste, Identity, Art, Fashion and Constant Change (https://amzn.to/3wNJeub). Listen as he discusses the fascinating connection between status and culture and how they work together to drive changes. Can your morning cup of coffee predict the weather?

Today, we're talking to Nashvillian John M. DeMarco. There are certain themes that have been flowing through John's life and career lately: AI, Impermanence, making meaning, and business and career sustainability. And by all areas, I mean he explores these themes as a fiction writer, non-fiction writer, speaker, and coach. By the way, John is a professional certified coach, and he's been coaching executives for 19 years. But the discussion we have is less about being an executive, and more about being a human in our ever-changing world.What's important to point out here is that our personal and professional lives aren't really separate. We're whole humans, and what goes on in one area of our life touches all other areas of our life. Throughout this episode, we dive deeper into most of the themes that John and his client's are experiencing, starting with managing expectations around impermanence — that is, the fact that nothing ever stays the same, and one day, we're all going to die — and how that impacts our satisfaction and what that even means for how we're separate from and connected to each other. We talk about how greed, selfishness, and delusions come about but also how we can choose a healthier way of being amid constant change to experience more joy and meaning instead. Then, we explore what legacy is, why it's important, and how we influence it. Then, the episode takes a turn into considering mindfulness and tapping into a greater good.And by “takes a turn,” I mean, the conversation starts out pretty cerebral and then morphs into what felt like an unprepared, real-time experience of mindfulness, presence, and spirituality. In the last third of the interview, I didn't edit out long pauses as I normally would because I wanted you to experience what John was experiencing as he traversed the emotions that came with learning about himself as he answered big questions about why making meaning is important and what meaning even is. The emotion, on the surface, was subtle, but if you're really paying attention, you'll see there was nothing surface-level about this conversation. The emotion and thoughtfulness is palpable.So let's dive in!***Visit the complete show notes at https://humanamplified.com/episodes/113***Shop my Bed of Nails affiliate link to get yours: https://bedofnails.org/?ref=BRANDIFLECKUse code BON15BRANDI at checkout to get 15% off!

Before we dip for a short end-of-year break, it's time for a music streaming check-in. Our own “Wrapped,” if you will. There's a lot going on. Just last month, Spotify announced that it would stop paying artists completely for tracks with fewer than 1000 streams — just a few weeks before slashing 17 percent of its workforce (about 1500 people) in its third round of cuts this year. And those aren't the only changes afoot in the digital music space: Back in October, Bandcamp laid off 50 percent of its staff after being acquired by music licensing company Songtrader, casting a pall of uncertainty over the fate of an important economic lifeline for underground and emerging artists. If, like us, you are confused and disheartened about what this means for independent music, fear not. We've got just the guy to help make sense of it all, and maybe even inspire a little hope. His name is Tony Lashley, and not only is he just crazy smart, but he has a unique insider's view on the machinations of Big Streaming and the intersection of economics and aesthetics, thanks to some serious stints in marketing strategy and operations at both Spotify and Frank Ocean's Blonded. These days, he's been busy working on an an independent music-focused streaming platform and community called Marine Snow, which he describes as an attempt to be “hypercuratorial in the age of digital abundance,'” and likens to an A24 for music.Tony joins us for a roundtable on the past, present, and future of the musical commodity in the digital age. He breaks down the confusing economics of the streaming giants, why they keep bleeding money despite dominating the market, and what Spotify's new royalties structure tells us about where the music internet is headed. We also discuss how our relationship with music is inextricably bound up with values like status and community, what Spotify has in common with H&M (and also mainstream radio), and why the future of music consumption may lie in niche-oriented music platforms like Marine Snow.Follow Tony on Twittter and IGSign up for the Marine Snow waitlistRecommended supplemental reading from Tony:Status and Culture: How Our Desire for Social Rank Creates Taste, Identity, Art, Fashion, and Constant Change, by David Marx “Spotify: Making profits on thin profit margins” by M Value Investing Research“Layoffs won't solve spotify's biggest problem” by Timothy Green“Spotify's big bet on podcasts is failing, Citi says” by Jessica Bursztynsky“China antitrust: Beijing orders Tencent to end exclusive music licensing deals in a first for the country” by Yujie Xue and Iris DengSupport our independent journalism by becoming a paid subscriber at theculturejournalist.substack.com.

0:00 -- Intro.1:26-- About the podcast sponsor: The American College of Governance Counsel.2:13 -- Start of interview.3:47 -- Ker's "origin story." 7:41 -- His history with the American Chamber of Commerce in Shanghai (AmCham).9:42 -- About his book “Selling to China. Stories of Success, Failure and Constant Change.” (2023). "We felt that it was important to remind people why we're doing this in the first place, you know, what's good about our relationship with China. We wanted bring the commercial issues back into the conversation."13:31 -- On the current idea of “uncoupling” or “de-risking” the US economy from China."I think it is good to talk about 'de-risking' rather than 'decoupling'." "I don't think a complete decoupling is realistic and it's certainly not in the interest of either side. But I think the de-risking term is helpful, in the sense that it aims at communicating the intent. {The intent] here is not to punish China or isolate China or decouple from China, but it is to protect our interests, whether they're military interests or strategic economic interests."16:46 -- On whether the US policies and sanctions towards China are effective."The narrative is that the export controls and sanctions and de-risking coming out of Washington DC is simply pushing China to be more self-sufficient." "This has to be seen as a temporary measure, that gives us time to resolve the actual conflicts that exist."21:21 -- On the US responding with its own industrial policy to catch up with China (e.g. in batteries and EVs). "We've got to be careful not to slip into outright protectionism and allow this to change who we are as a country and how we've been successful as an economy." "[I]f we get into a situation where we are indeed trying to limit China's economic rise, and literally keep China economically contained, that is a dangerous path, and it's a bad narrative, because it inevitably leads to conflict.""I'm basically conservative when it comes to economic issues and fiscal policy, but I have actually been saying for quite a long time that the US needs to get over its aversion to industrial policy and put some planning in place."30:38 -- On China's private sector."[B]eijing actually kept a remarkably light hand [in the development of the internet industry]. I give the Beijing policymakers full credit there for knowing that they needed to stay out of the way and let that happen." "Now we've seen the pendulum swing back the other way." "Jack Ma was going around visiting countries and he would almost be treated like a head of state. I think Jack Ma must have, because his company is publicly listed in New York, he might have confused himself with a Western CEO. He's not. China is China and the West is the West, especially in the tech sector. So yeah, he's been disciplined as have some other tech leaders."36:21 -- On the fate of TikTok in the US.40:38 -- On the recent APEC meeting in SF, and his take on Presidents Biden and Xi Jinping meetings. "I put it in the category of huge success that the meeting happened, that Xi Jinping actually showed up." "It's critical that Xi and Biden meet face-to-face because of the Chinese political system, it is so concentrated at the top."46:09 -- On the risks of a military conflict between the U.S. and China over Taiwan. "We should not underestimate [China's] willingness to take the island and take it by force. I think at some point you have to just take them at their word. If you listen to the domestic media and domestic speeches that Xi and others make in China, it's quite clear that they're highly motivated to take the island and willing to." "[But] I don't think it's imminent, mostly because of the difficulty of taking the island and of the probability of success on the Chinese side.""I think the probability of an accidental conflict [is] high. And until the agreement of the last week or so, the ability to de-escalate and de-conflict, low." "In other words, without that military-to-military hotline, there would be no way for it to de-escalate."50:35 -- How should boards think about de-risking its China exposure."They should be thinking about what are the hard assets that they have, both in mainland China and in Taiwan? What I'm hearing boards do is that some of them are converting their businesses to more asset light. So, in other words, converting a wholly owned subsidiary to maybe selling off some of the shares to make that into a minority investment or a full asset light model might be literally selling factories and hard assets and then maybe licensing them back or something like that to where they wouldn't have to literally write them off the way many companies had to do in Russia when that took place, and you saw large companies writing off literally billions of dollars of assets off their balance sheets because they could no longer have access to them.""Again, I don't think that we are on the brink here, but it would be wise to have plans in place in the case of, especially in accidental conflict."52:27 -- Books that have greatly influenced his life: Free to Choose by Milton Friedman (1980)All books by James Clavell.

From navigating different environments to choosing change willingly, Susanne's life has been a testament to the inevitability and transformative power of embracing change. Embracing Change: A Natural State of Being Susanne enlightens us on the essence of change: it's not something we choose, but how we choose to react to it.
