In this powerful episode of My Simplified Life, host Michelle Glogovac sits down with former Congresswoman Marie Newman to discuss her inspiring journey from grassroots activism to the halls of Congress. Newman opens up about how her daughter's experiences fueled her passion for change, what it truly takes to run for office as a woman, and how personal storytelling can shift political narratives. The conversation covers the emotional weight of the January 6th insurrection, the systemic challenges women face in leadership, and the urgent need for civic engagement. Listeners will walk away motivated to speak up, get involved, and help shape a more inclusive future. What We're Talking About... Marie Newman entered politics to fight for her daughter's rights and future. The political system remains deeply challenging—and often hostile—for women candidates. Grassroots activism plays a critical role in driving real community change. Storytelling isn't just emotional—it's strategic and essential in shifting political narratives. The January 6th insurrection marked a defining moment in America's democratic crisis. We need more women in elected office—not just as a goal, but as a necessity for true representation. Political success is never a solo journey—community backing makes all the difference. The political arena is riddled with unethical tactics and behind-the-scenes power plays. Constructive dialogue with Republican leaders is necessary, even when it's uncomfortable. Newman reflects that she's more effective and impactful as an activist than she ever felt in Congress.

Sean Brodrick, Editor of Wealth Megatrends and contributing analyst to Weiss Ratings Daily, joins us to outline why he is not convinced in the Wall Street narrative that the worst parts of the tariff implications are behind us, based on macroeconomic data he is following including the weakness in the US long bond, US dollar, and business guidance through year end.  He is only holding the highest conviction sectors like gold, precious metals stocks, dividend paying mid-tier oil and gas stocks, and utility stocks, in this continued environment of uncertainty.    We start off discuss the continued challenges to trade barriers, issues with the US deficit and increased debt loads, and international buyers still scaling out of US markets to repatriate funds into their own domestic stock markets.  Sean has been bullish European defense stocks, South American fintech and water stocks, and even Canadian stocks, although he's not yet transitioned to buying Japanese stocks at this point.  He is not convinced that large US tech stocks are in the same kind of safe upward trajectory that they have been for years and believe AI and other foreign platforms may be a threat to some domestic large-cap tech stocks.   With regards to the commodities sector, Sean is constructive that this recent pullback in gold has been a buying opportunity and is still bullish both gold and silver stocks in the medium-term.   He is also is getting interested in accumulating the better run intermediated oil and natural gas stocks that pay good dividends and may be the acquisition targets of the larger energy companies.  He likes nat gas power as a bridge energy for big data companies and AI, and still sees value in the utility stocks. This leads into a discussion on why he's still bullish in the longer-term for copper and copper equities, but doesn't feel it is as imminent or urgent to get positioned.   Click here to follow along with Sean's work at Weiss Ratings Daily and Wealth Megatrends   Click here to learn more about Resource Trader

Over 600 leaders of universities and colleges recently signed a statement for “constructive engagement” as the result of conflict between the government and higher education. Particularly concerning are cuts in funding for research, student visa status and DEI. On the next Charlotte Talks, we hear from Davidson College President Doug Hicks about the pressures facing educational institutions.

In the latest episode of "The Traveling Introvert," the issue of being labeled as "too quiet" in professional settings is explored. The feedback of being too quiet can have various interpretations, such as communication style, engagement level, or visibility in the workplace. It's crucial to ask specific questions to understand the real concern, whether it's a matter of not speaking up in meetings or not being visible enough in projects. The episode encourages a curious and non-defensive approach when seeking clarity on feedback, emphasizing the importance of understanding the expectations and measurements used at work. Constructive conversations can then lead to a compromise that allows introverts to communicate authentically while meeting workplace expectations.

When it comes to… basically anything, everyone has an opinion, and our photography and businesses are rarely exempt. And because our work is often so personal, the feedback can hit hard.But not all feedback is useful, relevant, or even true. It is just information, and we get to choose what to do with that information and how much we let it affect us.In this episode, I'm sharing why feedback can feel so personal in creative businesses, how to navigate different types of feedback in our photography businesses, and how we can differentiate helpful feedback that can help us grow from the feedback that isn't serving us.Let's dig in!What's in this episode:[00:00] Intro[00:53] Why feedback can cut so deep and how we can use it to grow[01:39] How to handle feedback on your pricing[03:30] How to navigate feedback from disappointed clients[06:26] Navigating critiques, both from genuine feedback and from the trolls[09:00] What feedback is… and what it's notTune in to this episode for some advice on taking the feedback that serves your business and leaving what does not!For full show notes, resources, links and to download the transcript, visit our website: https://themilkyway.ca/podcast/Grab your spot for the 2025 Online Newborn Retreat!

The psychological effects of media consumption and keeping up with the 24-hour news cycle are vast. It can sometimes feel impossible to stay educated on current events without also feeling hopeless, disempowered, or even enraged. Worse, the incentives and structures of modern media outlets seem more and more geared towards capturing our attention at any cost… including our mental health, trust in one another, and even open societies themselves. Given this, is there a way to get back to a form of media and journalism that helps us feel empowered, and if so, how do we do it?  Today, Nate is joined by neuroscientist and best-selling author, Maren Urner, to discuss the critical role of journalism in democracy, the importance of rebuilding trust in media, and how neuroscience can inform our understanding of media consumption. Maren makes the case for constructive journalism – a more balanced and solutions-oriented approach to reporting – as a powerful antidote to the relentlessly negative tone of traditional media. She also highlights the urgent need for systemic change in the way journalism operates if we want to foster a more informed and empowered public. How do our deeply ingrained cognitive biases shape the way news is produced and consumed? Could journalism evolve to become a force for collective action and positive change, rather than just another profit-driven industry competing for our clicks? And in a world where our attention has become one of the most valuable – and contested – resources, how can we take greater ownership over the media we choose to engage with? (Conversation recorded on March 31st, 2025)   About Maren Urner: Maren Urner is a neuroscientist and, since September 2024, Professor for Sustainable Transformation at Münster University of Applied Sciences and Head of the new Master's program in Sustainable Transformation Design. In 2016, she co-founded "Perspective Daily," the first ad-free online magazine for constructive journalism. She led the editorial team as editor-in-chief and served as managing director until March 2019. After her time at Perspective Daily, she taught as a professor of media psychology at the Media University of Applied Sciences in Cologne until August 2024. Maren has been a columnist for the Frankfurter Rundschau since September 2020. Her three books, End the Daily Doomsday, Out of the Eternal Crisis, and Radically Emotional: How Feelings Make Politics are SPIEGEL bestsellers. She is the winner of the 2023 BAUM Environmental and Sustainability Award in the science category.   Show Notes and More Watch this video episode on YouTube   Want to learn the broad overview of The Great Simplification in 30 minutes?

Markets will open a little weaker this morning: Tariffs have not gone away, and Nvidia says it will take a $5-Billion charge on an AI chip they can ship overseas because of the ban. Still, Nvidia continues to outperform the market. The bigger news headlines will be about "The Death Cross" of the 50-DMA crossing below the 200-DMA, which will provide more aggressive overhead resistance for stock prices as they try to recover. Basically what this indicates is a continuation of market consolidation in a corrective period. "Death Cross!" does not mean the next financial crisis is imminent. There are two types of Corrective Markets: Event-driven and Construct-driven, or shorter-term vs longer-term. Tariffs are the current event, and markets will price-in the effects. These tend to last about 90-days. Constructive-driven corrections are triggered by credit issues or meltdowns like the Dot-com Crisis, and typically take up to 18-months to complete. Markets are currently in a cycle where bases are being formed, and the corrective process is nearly concluded.

This Podcast Is Episode 623, And It's About The Art Of Giving And Receiving Constructive Criticism In Construction Think about the last time you gave or received feedback. Did it inspire growth and improvement or leave someone feeling deflated? When done right, constructive feedback is a powerful tool for driving success. But it's a fine line – getting it wrong can do more harm than good.   For business owners, managers, and team leaders, effectively giving and receiving constructive feedback isn't just a nice skill; it's a necessity. Feedback shapes stronger teams, builds trust, and moves companies forward.    In the construction industry, where projects are often complex and involve numerous stakeholders, giving and receiving constructive criticism is essential for success. Feedback can significantly impact safety, quality, and project timelines, making it crucial to foster a culture where constructive feedback is the norm rather than the exception.   Understanding Constructive Criticism Constructive criticism in construction focuses on performance, processes, and safety rather than personal attributes. It aims to highlight areas for improvement while providing actionable suggestions to enhance skills and procedures. This feedback cultivates a transparent work environment where team members feel empowered to address challenges without fear of personal confrontation. Constructive Feedback vs. Destructive Criticism Not all feedback is created equal. Constructive feedback is designed to promote growth. It's specific, actionable, and focuses on behavior or outcomes, not personal traits. Destructive criticism, on the other hand, often comes off as judgmental and unhelpful, targeting the person rather than the problem. Consider these examples: Constructive Criticism: I noticed a few inconsistencies in the framing of the last project. Let's review the measurements to improve them for the next build and ensure we're aligned. I believe this will help enhance the overall quality of the work and avoid any potential issues during inspections. Destructive Criticism: The framing on that last job was terrible. You need to get it right, or this line of work isn't for you. In the first example, the feedback focuses on improving the work and offers support, while the second example is judgmental and demoralizing, focusing solely on the individual's shortcomings. Constructive feedback opens the door to improvement, while destructive criticism shuts down. By aligning feedback with a growth mindset, businesses can foster trust, encourage professional development, and build an environment where individuals and teams thrive. Why Constructive Feedback Matters Great feedback isn't just about pointing out mistakes – it's a catalyst for growth. Here's how constructive feedback benefits construction businesses: Improves employee performance: Identifies strengths, weaknesses, and areas for improvement. Enhances team dynamics: Encourages open communication and collaboration. Builds trust and engagement: Employees feel valued when their growth is a priority. Fosters continuous learning: Positioned as a tool for development, feedback encourages individuals to keep improving. Drives business success: Growth at the individual level contributes directly to company goals. Employees need to know their work matters, and constructive feedback signals that their success is tied to the business. How to give constructive feedback effectively: Providing great feedback takes preparation, empathy, and a strategic approach. Here's a breakdown of how to deliver it successfully: 1. Choose the right time and place Deliver feedback privately where the person feels comfortable and safe to discuss openly. Avoid giving feedback in the heat of the moment; instead, allow emotions to settle so the conversation remains productive. 2. Be specific and focused Vague feedback like "You need to do better" isn't helpful. Instead, reference specific situations and actions. For example, say, "During yesterday's client call, I noticed some confusion about the project timeline. Preparing a detailed overview beforehand might help in future calls." 3. Use "I" statements Frame feedback with "I" statements to avoid sounding accusatory. For example: Instead of "You're always interrupting me," say, "I felt interrupted during our meeting, and it made it difficult for me to express my points." 4. Balance positives and negatives Use the feedback sandwich technique: Start with a positive comment. Address the area for improvement with actionable suggestions. End with encouragement. For example Positive Comment: The team did an excellent job with the safety protocols on the last project. Everyone was vigilant about wearing helmets and harnesses, which helped create a safe work environment. Area for Improvement: However, I noticed a few delays in material deliveries that could have been better managed. For future projects, let's improve our communication with suppliers to make sure everything gets on time, as this will help keep us on schedule. Encouragement: Overall, I'm really impressed with everyone's dedication. If we can tighten up the logistics of material deliveries, we'll see even greater success on our projects. Keep up the great work! This structure helps maintain morale while addressing areas for improvement, fostering a constructive atmosphere for the team. 5. Offer solutions and support Feedback shouldn't just point out issues – it needs to provide solutions. For instance, suggest additional training, offer to share the workload, or brainstorm ideas together. This shows a commitment to the person's growth. 6. Follow up Check in after the feedback conversation to see how the individual applies the advice. This shows that your feedback wasn't a one-off critique but part of an ongoing growth process. Receiving constructive feedback positively: Feedback is a two-way street. Learning to receive it with an open mind is just as crucial. Here's how to ensure you're extracting the most value from feedback: 1. Listen actively When receiving feedback, focus on understanding rather than responding. Avoid interrupting or dismissing the feedback outright. Instead, paraphrase to confirm understanding, e.g., "I'm hearing that I should work on communicating deadlines more thoroughly. Is that correct?" 2. Avoid defensiveness It can be tempting to explain away criticism, but doing so may make you seem resistant to growth. Accept feedback with humility and thank the individual for pointing out opportunities for improvement. 3. Reflect on the information Take time to process the feedback before acting on it. Ask yourself: What specific actions can I take to improve? Is there a pattern in the feedback I've received? How can I use this information to grow? 4. View feedback as an opportunity Having a growth mindset is key. Look at feedback not as criticism but as an investment in your potential. 5. Implement changes Feedback without action benefits no one. Develop a clear plan to address areas of improvement and track your progress. Building A Feedback-Positive Environment To truly unlock the power of feedback, create a culture where feedback is valued, sought after, and given freely. Here's how: To make feedback a regular part of your business culture, hold routine one-on-ones, team debriefs, or anonymous surveys. Celebrate employees who both give and act on constructive feedback. This reinforces its value and shows that it's a tool for growth, not punishment. When leaders seek and act on feedback, it sets the tone for the entire business. An open and transparent leadership style fosters a safe environment for feedback. Equip managers and team members with the skills to give and receive feedback effectively. Training in conflict resolution, active listening, and emotional intelligence can be game-changing. Final thoughts By prioritizing constructive criticism, the construction industry can improve individual performances and enhance overall project outcomes, ensuring that teams work more effectively together and that projects are completed safely and on time. Constructive feedback is more than a tool – it's a mindset. It encourages growth, builds trust, and empowers you to achieve your full potential. Whether you're delivering it to your team or receiving it from others, the key lies in empathy, clarity, and a focus on solutions. Here's your actionable takeaway: Start small. Use the strategies in this blog to have one meaningful feedback conversation this week. Observe the impact, refine your approach, and make feedback a regular part of your leadership toolkit. The benefits will cascade beyond your expectations – for your people and construction business.

Right now, outrage seems as rampant as complacency, and both are lost opportunities from the vantage point of of life force. Being a "constructive badass" is a path to growth, change, and leadership amidst high pressure situations. The more we develop the skill of constructive dissent and engage in the art of insubordination—how to speak up with courage and clarity—we create degrees of freedom for courage in the everyday.For this Sisu Lab episode, I had the joy of interviewing Professor Todd Kashdan, one of the world's most cited psychologists and a curious thought leader on courage, character, and all things psychological flexibility. This conversation rocked such a unique flow of exploring life, ideas, and the co-creative space possible between curious humans anywhere that it felt like a real highlight. The experience itself, to me, speaks of how can help each other rise to our best just by being genuinely excited about each other (like kids!) and viewing moments of interaction as opportunities to unearth something valuable together.Todd and I jammed about:How to dissent effectively without breaking connectionWhy good people may struggle to be brave when it matters mostThe difference between being a principled rebel vs. a reactive troublemakerWhy true change-makers often face delayed rewards—and how sisu can help us stay the courseBalancing activism with mental health, and what keeps us going through long fights for changeThe gift of witnessing each other fail—and grow and heal togetherWhat it means to be an “upstander” (with a nod to educator Jackson Katz)How everyday acts of courage and kindness shape the bigger environment we call our lifeTodd's insights come from decades of research—and deep skin in the game. He's the author of several brilliant books, including Curious, The Upside of Your Dark Side, and most relevantly: The Art of Insubordination.
