The iconic folk duo met at an audition for the only country music band at a prestigious jazz school in Boston. They immediately clicked, and joined the rich lineage of Americana artists that stretches back centuries.In their 20s, Gillian Welch and David Rawlings discovered they had something special when they sang together, a sort of eerie emotional resonance that is usually confined to the blood harmonies produced when siblings sing together.Ever since they've been making music together which draws on the bluegrass, country and folk traditions they love.In their historic recording studio in Nashville, Tennessee (which has withstood three tornadoes in the last century), they craft haunting songs about the ugly and beautiful parts of humanity.For Gill and Dave, the DNA of folk music is something we can all contribute to, and which contributes to all of us.Gillian Welch and David Rawlings are currently touring Australia's eastern states. You can find information about where and when they are playing on their website.Their seventh studio album is called Woodland, named after their indestructible studio.This episode of Conversations was produced by Meggie Morris.

Have you ever tried your best to show someone you love them… only to feel like it didn’t quite land? You did the thoughtful thing. You said the kind words. You showed up. And yet something still felt missed. This week on The Love Offering Podcast, I had the joy of sitting down with Dr. Gary Chapman to talk about his newest book, The Love Language That Matters Most. For decades, his message about the five love languages has helped millions of people better understand how to give and receive love. But as he shared in our conversation, discovering someone’s love language is only the beginning. Each love language has what he calls “dialects”—deeply personal ways love is expressed and received. Miss those nuances, and even the right language can fall flat. It was such a rich and practical conversation. We talked about: Why love often gets lost in translation—even when our intentions are good How to personalize love so it truly resonates with the people closest to us What this looks like in marriage, parenting, friendships, and even caring for aging parents How to pay attention to the subtle clues our loved ones are giving us One of my favorite reminders from Dr. Chapman was this: “The love language that matters most is the one your loved one is longing to hear.” Isn’t that simple—and yet so profound? As someone who cares deeply about loving well in our everyday lives, I found this conversation to be both grounding and hopeful. Love isn’t complicated, but it does require attentiveness. It asks us to slow down, to listen closely, and to serve the heart before us. If you’ve ever felt misunderstood—or worried that someone you love feels that way—this episode will encourage you. May the Lord give us eyes to see and ears to hear the hearts entrusted to us.

What if the biggest barrier to your capital campaign success is the phrase “we don't have time”?In this episode of All About Capital Campaigns, Amy Eisenstein and Andrea Kihlstedt pull back the curtain on a truth that experienced fundraising consultants see every day: organizations that prioritize real conversations with major donors outperform those that try to outsource or avoid them. Drawing from their work with nearly one hundred small and mid sized nonprofits at a time, Amy and Andrea unpack the mindset shift that separates stalled campaigns from fully funded ones.As nonprofits consider a capital campaign or feasibility study, leaders often split into two camps. Some are eager to sit down with their largest prospective donors and hear their thoughts. Others insist they are too busy running programs, managing staff, and keeping up with daily demands. Amy and Andrea challenge that assumption directly. Every leader has twenty four hours in a day. The question is not about time. It is about priority.You will hear why treating donor conversations as optional or delegating them to a consultant is a serious warning sign for campaign readiness. While there are tasks that can and should be outsourced, building relationships with top campaign prospects is not one of them. Major gift fundraising depends on authentic connection between organizational leadership and donors. When that relationship is handed off, a powerful opportunity is lost.Amy explains the Capital Campaign Pro guided feasibility study model, which equips executive directors and board members to lead strategic donor conversations themselves. Rather than sending in an outside consultant to gather feedback, leaders receive coaching, structure, role play, and debrief support so they can confidently meet with their top prospects. These early conversations take place before any formal ask, creating a lower pressure environment where leaders can listen, build trust, and gain insight into donor interests.Andrea shares a story from the early days of this model. A nonprofit leader insisted that he did not want a consultant talking to his donors. He understood that the moment of conversation was an opportunity to strengthen real relationships. Years later, that campaign remains one of the most successful they have seen, with donors giving generously and repeatedly. The reason was simple: relationships were formed and nurtured by the people closest to the mission.The episode also addresses the emotional side of major gifts. When you only have a small number of prospects capable of giving six figure gifts, the stakes feel high. Anxiety can hold leaders back. Amy and Andrea describe how coaching and preparation build confidence over time. Leaders who begin the feasibility process feeling nervous often finish it energized, surprised by how meaningful and even enjoyable the conversations have become.By the time the formal ask happens, it is no longer the first meeting. The donor has been heard. The leader has practiced. Trust has been established. That shift changes everything about a capital campaign.You will also hear Andrea outline three types of nonprofit leaders: the rare few who are excited to talk to major donors from the start, those who resist and prefer to hand fundraising to someone else, and the large group in the middle who are anxious yet willing to grow. The transformation happens in that middle group. When leaders commit to regular, thoughtful donor engagement, fundraising capacity expands long after the campaign ends.If you are planning a capital campaign, conducting a feasibility study, or trying to strengthen your major gift fundraising program, this episode offers a clear message. Sustainable campaign success begins with leaders who make time for donor relationships and treat those conversations as central to their role.For more free capital campaign resources, visit https://capitalcampaignpro.com/campaign-resources.

A heated political panel breaks down the impact of government shutdown threats, immigration enforcement funding, and the political fallout heading into key elections. The discussion examines how shutdown strategies could affect agencies like TSA while leaving U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement largely unaffected, the political momentum surrounding Donald Trump, and the surprising absence of a Republican Senate candidate in New Mexico.The panel also explores redistricting tensions in Virginia and what they could mean for control of the U.S. House, along with debate over the SAVE Act and voter ID requirements. With midterm elections approaching, the conversation highlights party unity, election integrity, and the broader battle shaping America's political future.

You think they're winning? They're the furthest from themselves a human being can get. Dr. Christian Gonzalez addresses what so many are feeling right now—the shock, the grief, the helplessness that comes from seeing the depths of human darkness exposed in the Epstein files. This isn't a news breakdown. This is a spiritual reckoning. The question isn't what to do about them. The question is: who are you choosing to be in relation to what you've experienced? In this episode, Dr. G reveals: • Why the people who hurt children are already living in their own personal hell—no external justice needed • The "Conversations with God" principle that reframes all suffering as an opportunity to remember who you are • How holding onto anger, helplessness, and fear burns a hole in your own being—and what to do instead This episode is raw, emotional, and necessary.

It's often true that the most challenging conversations are often the ones most worth having. Conversations that bring up strong feelings, different experiences, and questions without easy answers. Policing, and how we can make it better, is one of those conversations.San Leandro Police Chief Angela Averiett has spent nearly three decades in law enforcement, navigating the profession's challenges while advocating for a healthier path forward. I met Angela through The Curve, my organization focused on helping policing evolve to meet the needs of a modern world. She's a powerful example of forward-thinking leadership, exploring how culture, mindset, and psychological safety shape the way officers show up for each other and for the communities they serve.In this episode, Angela and I unpack why cynicism is so common among officers, how strong leadership creates healthier team cultures, and why rebuilding trust in policing starts from the inside out. Angela shares stories from her career that reveal a different side of police work: where compassion improves safety, discretion matters more than enforcement, and leadership means creating space for people to be human. Together, we explore the balance between strength and empathy, and why healthier internal cultures lead to stronger relationships with the public.Whether you're a leader interested in organizational culture or simply curious about how policing can evolve, I hope this conversation offers an honest and hopeful perspective on the work ahead.---------------------------If you want to learn more about the work The Curve is doing, head to: https://www.thecurve.org---------------------------

Does the Bible truly restrict women in leadership? In this thought-provoking Voxology Podcast episode, Mike Geary, Susie Lind, and Preston Sprinkle wrestle with this deeply significant theological question. Drawing from Preston's upcoming book, *From Genesis to Junia: What the Bible Really Says About Women in Leadership*, they explore the historical, cultural, and biblical contexts that shape complementarian and egalitarian debates. Are women called to lead, preach, and teach in the church? What role does cultural context play in interpreting scripture? With a blend of personal stories, rigorous scholarship, and honest dialogue, the hosts unpack passages like 1 Timothy 2 and Ephesians 5, illuminating how interpretations of authority, headship, and agency have shaped the Church's approach to women in ministry. Susie shares her lived experience as a pastor navigating these challenges, while Preston dives into the exegetical work that informed his book. This episode is a must-listen for anyone curious about how faith intersects with justice, theology, and cultural issues. Join the conversation as the hosts emphasize Jesus' inclusive teachings and challenge the commodification of women within religious structures.

Today on Mea Culpa, I sit down with Jeffrey Sonnenfeld, senior associate dean at Yale School of Management, founder of the Chief Executive Leadership Institute, and author of the forthcoming book Trump's Ten Commandments, to examine Donald Trump's leadership style through the lens of corporate power and institutional behavior. An early critic dating back to The Apprentice, Sonnenfeld draws on decades of research on CEOs and crisis leadership, paired with my firsthand experience with Trump, to break down how he governs through intimidation, retaliation, and has an inability to accept loss. We explore why appeasement by universities, corporations, and civic institutions only accelerates democratic erosion, the risks of normalizing coercion, and whether collective resistance remains one of the most effective counterweights to abuse of power.

Conversation with Gemini You said podcast title and description for this segment: 00;00;00;00 - 00;00;07;02 Unknown Steve Cohen made it very clear there will never be a captain of the New York Mets as long as he owns the team. 00;00;07;05 - 00;00;32;13 Unknown And I said, hold that thought, because at 11:00, I want you to hear from both Lindor and Soto and maybe, maybe, maybe not. That comment from Cohen will make more sense, right? Because I listen to everything Lindor and Soto said over the weekend. And they sound very different. They are painting very, very different pictures right. So before I provide any more comment, let's hear from these guys. 00;00;32;19 - 00;00;56;08 Unknown Let's start with Francisco Lindor, who was asked a very simple question. Hey, what's up with the locker room? Francisco? There's been questions this offseason about chemistry on the on the team and in the clubhouse. Can you address that as far as guys getting along and and pulling for each other? Yeah I mean we've always proved for each other, we always wanted what's best for each other. 00;00;56;10 - 00;01;15;23 Unknown We all best friends that that's not how it works in the clubhouse. But we are friends. We're good teammates. We, care for each other. We love for each other. We love each other. And we want the best for each other, you know? And we have a lot of new faces here that, guys seemed like they're going to work hard and they're going to do whatever it takes to win. 00;01;15;24 - 00;01;33;18 Unknown You know, to me, that's what it comes down to is all about winning. And everybody pulling in the same direction. So he gives us the typical not all best friends, but we're friends. Yeah. Oh good. What's his by the way any clubhouse or locker room. Yeah. You don't have to be best friends with everybody. But just you have to be able to get along and work together. 00;01;33;18 - 00;01;53;08 Unknown And he makes clear that they did. Right. And so that there really doesn't appear to be any issues, according to Lindor about last year's locker room. Now, let's hear from one Soto first. Hey, one, what's your relationship like with Francisco Lindor? Because we heard so much about, hey, maybe those two don't get along. One how would you describe your relationship with Francisco Lindor? 00;01;53;10 - 00;02;16;06 Unknown I think it's a great relationship. We talk all the time in the game and everything. We help each other very quick answer, but to the point and like, yeah, it's all great. So so far everything is good, right? This is where things get a little murky. Soto is now asked about the locker room. Carlos, when those ads describe the clubhouse last year is maybe getting a little bit too corporate at times. 00;02;16;08 - 00;02;39;24 Unknown What was your perception of it? As in the past, we forget about it. We focus in 2026, focusing on 2026. How could you maybe prevent that from happening this time around? Have fun. Forget about all the drama and everything. Focus on the game and wins on ball games. Whoa. I mean, when you said forget about all the drama, right? 00;02;39;26 - 00;02;59;23 Unknown Isn't he confirming talking about. He's confirming that was drama. Well, he's but not necessarily will endure. No, I think I agree with you. I think that's what people wanted and immediately think about. But I think it was other drama, in fact, not even drama with him. I think it was drama that he was witnessing. Yeah, I think it has nothing to do with Lindor, honestly, because think about this. 00;02;59;23 - 00;03;17;03 Unknown Juan Soto gave you in those three answers, like pretty straightforwardness. There he is, though. Yeah, he's no beat around the bush. He's not going to fluff it up. He's going to tell you exactly what he thinks. So there were issues. I'm not going to talk about the drama that's in the past and let's just win games. Yet. When asked about Lindor, oh, it's all good. 00;03;17;05 - 00;0 ...

Patrick explores Catholic traditions and beliefs, answers questions about sacraments and the priesthood, and brings up the impact of family and faith in everyday moments. He breaks down myths around devotions, then contrasts Christianity and Islam on love and joy. Conversations turn personal, rich, and even surprising. Louise – Is Fr. Greg Boyle a Jesuit Priest? Do you know anything about this author? (00:31) Richard - My wife and I decided that she would stay home with my kids. My mom was always at work and sacrificed so much. I wanted something more for my kids. (03:41) Aymun – Priests seem to be a barrier to the Sacraments. Why can’t people give the Sacraments to each other? (08:09) Audrey - What is the Flame of Love Movement? (21:35) Dale - Is there any joy in Islam? (29:06) Audio: Islam’s global goal to dominate - Islam is not here to coexist. We were sent to dominate the world, to extinguish and wipe out every other religion. We are superior to everyone else. - https://x.com/realmaalouf/status/1991556460652675215?s=46&t=m_l2itwnFvka2DG8_72nHQ (33:57) Tom – Is wearing a scapular an insurance policy? (37:28) John – Islam doesn’t take prisoners and they force everyone to take on their religion.

You're at a networking event and someone corners you. For the next ten minutes, they talk nonstop about their vacation, their dog, their new car. You're not having a conversation. You're trapped in their monologue. You're annoyed. You tune out. You start looking for the exit. That's exactly how your prospects feel when you make yourself the star of the conversation. What Is Sales Main Character Syndrome? Sales main character syndrome is when you position yourself as the hero instead of your prospect. You see it everywhere: On the phone: You launch into a five-minute pitch about your company history before asking a single question. In email: You send giant blocks of text about features without mentioning their actual problems. On LinkedIn: Your connect request immediately hits them with "Here's my product, here's my calendar link, let's meet." No matter the channel, it all leads back to the same place: your product, your company, your agenda. Prospects don't care about your product yet. They care about their problems, their goals, and what's at stake in their world. When you make it all about you, you trigger resistance. Buyers feel sold to instead of collaborated with. And that leads to ghosting, objections, and stalled deals. Nobody wants to sit through a feature dump. People need relevance. They want to feel heard and know you actually get them. The Real Cost of Sales Main Character Syndrome Sales main character syndrome has consequences that will wreck your quota. Prospects disengage. When you focus on yourself and your product instead of the buyer and their needs, they tune out. Calls feel like lectures. Emails read like brochures. Messages get deleted without a response. Lose their attention, and you've lost your shot. You miss the real opportunities. By making the interaction about yourself, you fail to ask the right questions. You don't hear what's actually going on in their world. You can't identify the true pain points, the real goals, or what's actually motivating them. So you pitch solutions that don't align with what they need. You waste discovery time chasing the wrong problems. Destroy trust before it's built. Your prospects stop seeing you as a helpful guide. Instead, you're just another salesperson pushing a product. Without trust, everything gets harder and long-term relationships become impossible. The cost is too high. So how do you flip the script? The Mindset Shift: From Hero to Trusted Guide Your job is to be a trusted guide, not the hero. Think Yoda, not Luke Skywalker. Your prospect is the hero of their own story. They're the ones facing the challenge, making the decision, and living with the outcome.  When prospects feel like the main character, they engage more. They open up. They trust you. And trust moves deals forward. Here's a simple three-step framework you can use in every conversation. Step #1: Change Your "I" to "Why" Stop starting conversations with: "I want to show you..." "I'd love to introduce..." "I think you'll like..." Your buyers don't care about your "I." They care about their “why.” Why should this matter to them? Why is it relevant right now? Why does it solve a problem they're actually facing? Lead with "why," and the focus shifts from your agenda to their reality. You'll stop sounding like a salesperson and start being seen as someone who understands their world. Before: "I'd love to show you our new platform and walk you through all the features we've built." After: “Companies in your industry are losing 20% of their pipeline to manual data entry errors. Here's how to fix that." One is about you. The other is about them. Step #2: Define What You Solve, Not What You Sell Most salespeople can rattle off what they sell. A platform. A service. A software solution. That's not what your buyer cares about. Buyers don't wake up thinking, "I need a new vendor today." They wake up thinking, "I need to fix this problem that's making my life harder." When you define the problem you solve instead of the product you sell, you build immediate value. You position yourself as a partner in their success, not just another pitch in their inbox. Product-focused: "We're a sales engagement platform with email sequencing, call tracking, and analytics." Problem-focused: "We help sales teams stop losing deals to slow follow-up and inconsistent outreach." Stop leading with what you sell and start leading with what you solve. Conversations convert faster when prospects see themselves in the problem you're addressing. Step #3: Listen to Hear, Not to Respond The biggest mistake in sales? Listening just long enough to jump in with your answer. Most reps wait for their turn to talk. They're mentally preparing the pitch while the buyer is still speaking. It feels efficient. It's actually ineffective. Listening to hear means shutting up long enough to understand. You catch the nuance. You pick up on the emotion. You uncover the hidden pain points that competitors miss because they're too busy pitching. Slow down. Tune in. Let your buyer feel heard. That's when trust starts to build and when real opportunity opens up. Your Challenge: Put It Into Practice This Week The shift from sales main character syndrome to trusted guide isn't complicated. But it does require awareness and intention. You have to catch yourself when you're about to launch into your standard pitch. Pause and ask, "Am I making this about me or about them?" Your prospect is the hero. Your job is to guide them to success. Make it about them. Lead with relevance. Listen deeply. Watch what happens when you get this right. Because the most successful salespeople aren't trying to be impressive. They're trying to be useful. Make your prospect the main character in every conversation. Do it consistently, and you won't have to chase attention. You'll earn it. -- Stop getting tuned out. Download the Free ACED Buyer Style Playbook and learn how to speak your buyer's language.

Have you ever been in the middle of a conversation and thought, “Okay… I need to leave now… but how do I say that?” Maybe you're at a party. Maybe you're on the phone. Maybe you're chatting with a coworker and you actually have work to do. Well, we usually end a conversation with soft, natural phrases to signal that the conversation is ending. We ease out of it. And that's what this podcast English lesson is all about.Today, we're going to look at some very natural phrases native speakers use to wrap up a conversation smoothly, politely, and without awkwardness. Happy English Podcast – Speak English Naturally I'm Michael from Happy English, and I help people speak English more naturally, confidently, and clearly.

We communicate every day, yet we rarely stop to think about what we are actually doing when we enter a conversation. In this episode, Trisha and Elissa explore the basics of communication through a simple but powerful metaphor: conversation as a game of catch. What does it mean to throw well? To catch well? To take turns? To play generously? Together they unpack how conversations flow, how they break down, and how we can become more mindful, generous participants in the everyday exchanges that shape our relationships at work, at home, and in our communities.   Conversation Overview Conversation as a game of catch Throwing and catching: sending and receiving skills Interrupting, over-talking, and holding the ball Asking good questions and keeping the game moving Generosity, anxiety, and when catch turns into dodgeball Staying in the game instead of taking the ball home   Guest Bio Elissa Lappenga is a professional educator, trainer, and coach with over 20 years of experience in education, non-profit, corporate, and community settings.

This is an episode all about the hard stuff. Politics. Disagreement on tour. Tour sites where the truth itself is in debate. Confronting places with complicated, dark histories.Most of the advice out there is: avoid this stuff at all costs. People just want to have fun, they're on vacation. Guides should stick to the script and make sure they don't say something that upsets the guests. I'm not here as a tour guide to shove my opinions down everyone's throats. Can't we all just get along? Can't we just keep the discourse civil?Our guest this week, Mike Fishback, is a middle-school humanities educator and curriculum designer who thinks this instinct is exactly the problem. "Civil discourse" isn't about keeping things polite — it's about strategies for engaging with and managing disagreement and difficulty in learning situations, like a tour. Mike learned through experience that it's unwise to sit back, cross your fingers, and hope you don't upset a guest. That there are powerful ways to lean into difficult topics that make the whole experience more meaningful — intentionally creating dialogue through artful questioning and participatory techniques. And he has the educational frameworks and two decades of lived experience to back every word of it up.Mike also happens to have spent years as a client of mine — I was the tour guide for his group of middle schoolers on trips to New York and DC, and I saw firsthand how he engaged his students with really meaty, difficult topics in a way that didn't shut them down but fired them up.The lessons here aren't for kids. They're for everyone. And if you've ever told yourself that your job is just to deliver the facts and keep things light, this conversation might be the most useful hour you spend all week.More takeaways and show notes on tourpreneur.com

Residency is one of the most profound life-changing seasons in a physician's journey—a time of rapid growth, deep uncertainty, and one of the biggest decisions of all: what comes next. In this unique collaborative episode, host Dr. Dael Waxman is joined by Charles Lowry, Director of Graduate Medical Education Relations at PracticeLink and host of the Surviving and Thriving in Residency podcast. Rather than a traditional interview, Dr. Waxman and Charlie engage in a shared conversation about the critical inflection points they've witnessed in medical students and residents. They explore the hidden struggles beneath the confident exterior—the loneliness, the imposter syndrome, the career uncertainty—and the powerful role that connection, validation, and intentional support can play. Together, they uncover how coaching and career resources can help residents move from survival mode to intentional choice, and why finding your "people" is essential for a sustainable, fulfilling career in medicine. Key Topics Discussed: Charlie's journey from statewide campus director for medical students to his current role supporting residents nationwide. The vulnerability and openness residents show when given a safe, non-evaluative space to share their struggles. The hidden stressors of residency: loneliness, lack of family support, and the challenge of being an international medical graduate. How PracticeLink serves as a free, comprehensive career resource for residents, from CV reviews to scholarships. The role of coaching in addressing imposter syndrome, leadership challenges, and the transition from training to practice. Why career uncertainty is a major driver of stress and well-being issues. Practical advice for residents: take advantage of free resources, find your community, and remember that residency is just one chapter. What gives both Dr. Waxman and Charlie hope about the next generation of physicians. Guest Information: Mr. Charles Lowry, Director of Graduate Medical Education Relations, PracticeLink.

Executive coach, image consultant, and author Kathryn Lowell joins Howard Schweitzer, chief executive officer of Cozen O'Connor Public Strategies, for a conversation on leading with presence and trust in moments of uncertainty. Kathryn explores how trust is built by “going first,” what it means to project presence without proximity, and why human skills like listening and intuition matter more than ever in today's workplace. Together, they examine how leaders can serve as a steadying force for their teams, balancing authenticity and authority in a world shaped by simultaneous technological, economic, and political disruption.

Stress is a very real part of our lives. How we manage stress can have healthy or unhealthy consequences. Fortunately, one tool we should be using to soothe stress in one another is stress-reducing conversations. In this episode of Breaking Bread, Kaleb Beyer, Craig Stickling, and Brian Sutter explain how to have these purposeful conversations.     Show notes:  What is stress-related conversation?  A conversation that has at its purpose the intention of soothing the emotions in a stress heightened individual and thereby reducing their stress levels.  What qualities are present in stress-reducing conversation?  Active listening, attending presence, non-judgement, non-criticizing, empathetic agreement.  What should your posture be for being a stress-reducing partner in a conversation?  Have an eye towards being on the same team with the other.  What are some different applied contexts for stress-reducing conversations?  Marriage: Look for them with your spouse if you are married. Family: Look for them with your kids if you are a parent. Neighbors: Look for them with community members.   What good are stress-reducing conversations beyond reducing stress?  Stress-reducing conversations build the safety to eventually step into conversations with other purposes such as conflict resolution or corrective conversations.  How do I carry out stress-reducing conversations when I disagree with the person that has heightened stress?  Separate the matter of disagreement from the person. Connect with the person first. Then when safety is achieved and we are on a team together, voicing disagreement can happen in effective ways.   What makes stress-reducing conversations difficult?  Fixating on accuracy.  Fixating on solutions.  Inability to detect emotions.  Inability to stay present with a person.   What does it mean to be intentional with stress-reducing conversations?  Have conversations with the express purpose to be stress relieving. Select topics thoughtfully that you can be "on the same team" about.   What is at stake if loved ones don't engage each other in stress-reducing conversations?  We might look for stress-reducing conversations from unsafe sources such as AI or other people.
