Our guest in this episode is Emma Möller, an AI strategist and former diplomat with a fascinating journey from a small village in Sweden to the forefront of global technology strategy. Emma helps leaders navigate the complex systems of AI, drawing on her deep understanding of how the frameworks we build shape our human reality. In our chat, we explore how to embrace AI's potential with a principled and human-centered approach. Key points discussed include:* Design AI systems with intention, recognizing they actively shape our reality and lived experience.* Avoid “intellectual laziness” by using AI as a partner for inquiry, not a replacement for curiosity.* Cultivate your human curiosity through diverse learning to expand your awareness and unlock AI's creative potential.Listen to the podcast to find out more.Innovabiz Substack is a reader-supported publication.

Her journey is as fascinating as her insights, taking her from a small village of 60 people in northern Sweden, deeply connected to nature, to the complex, human-made systems of international policy and now, artificial intelligence. Our conversation was a masterclass in how to approach the incredible power of AI not with blind optimism or fear, but with a principled, human-centered curiosity that feels both vital and reassuring in this rapidly changing world.Emma's perspective is shaped by a profound understanding that the systems we design, be they legal, economic, or technological, fundamentally create the reality we inhabit. She spoke of feeling a disconnect between the rich, sensory experience of her childhood and the generalized, often biased frameworks of the modern world. This lens is what makes her approach to AI so powerful; she sees it not just as code, but as a new and incredibly influential system we are building, and she urges us to be deeply intentional about what kind of reality we want it to create.The Seductive Trap of Becoming ‘Intellectually Lazy'One of the most memorable moments in our chat was when Emma warned against the subtle danger of becoming “intellectually lazy.” It's a brilliant phrase that perfectly captures the seductive ease of letting generative AI do our thinking for us. We've all felt it: the temptation to accept the first answer from ChatGPT without question, or to let it generate prose without infusing it with our own unique perspective and critical thought. Emma reminded us that these tools are often designed to agree with us, which can create an echo chamber if we're not careful.The antidote, she suggests, is to consciously maintain our curiosity and use AI as a partner for deeper inquiry, not as a replacement for it. This really resonated with me. I shared the story of how I used an AI, which I named Yuki, to help plan my recent trip to Japan. Yuki handled the logistical heavy lifting: train schedules, travel times, which freed me up to dive deeper into the history and culture. The AI built the foundation, but the curiosity, the questions, and the actual human experience remained firmly in my hands. It was a perfect example of using the technology to enhance, not diminish, our engagement with the world.The Unscheduled Joy of Getting LostThis led to another beautiful point: the importance of allowing for the unexpected. Emma spoke about how some of the best adventures and innovations come from mistakes, or from getting a little bit lost. An AI can create a perfectly optimized itinerary, but it can't schedule the serendipitous joy of stumbling upon a hidden alleyway or the creative spark that comes from a plan gone awry. If we delegate too much of our decision-making to algorithms, we risk engineering these essential human moments out of our lives.Ultimately, Emma argues that our most powerful tool for navigating the age of AI is our own awareness, which we must actively cultivate. Her advice was wonderfully simple: read books. Talk to people with different perspectives. Spend time in nature. In short, we must continually expand our own “information landscape” so that we can bring richer, more creative questions to the AI. It is, as she puts it, a “mirror of our own awareness,” and will only ever be as insightful as we are.AI as a Leadership Challenge, Not Just a Tech SolutionBringing this into the business world, Emma stressed that successful AI adoption is not a technology problem; it's a leadership and culture challenge. The leaders who are getting it right are not looking for a magic AI solution to plug in. Instead, they are focusing on the real, day-to-day problems their teams face and empowering them to find ways that AI can genuinely help. It's about creating a system for change that supports people, listens to their concerns, and fosters collaboration.This conversation with Emma Möller was a powerful reminder that while technology will continue to evolve at a dizzying pace, the core principles of human-centered progress remain the same. It's about staying curious, taking responsibility for the tools we use, and never losing sight of the fact that the goal of innovation should be to create more space for the messy, beautiful, and irreplaceable experience of being human.The Buzz - Our Innovation RoundHere are Emma's answers to the questions of our innovation round. Listen to the conversation to get the full scoop.* Innovative AI for Human Connection – Using AI to analyze an organization's data to break down internal silos and foster mutual understanding between teams.* Best AI Integration Example – Leveraging voice-to-text tools to work more efficiently, thereby creating more time for screen-free, in-person connection.* Differentiate with Connection – Stay relentlessly curious by reading books and intentionally connecting with new people to learn from their unique perspectives.ActionIf you haven't already, start using AI. Consciously create space to remain curious and make mistakes, and then go outside for a walk to enjoy nature.Reach OutYou can reach out and thank Emma on her website. She also has a wonderful newsletter called The Lumiera Loop.Links:* Website - Lumiera* Lumiera's Newsletter - The Lumiera Loop* LinkedInCool Things About Emma* She's a former diplomat and lawyer. This isn't just a career change; it's a fundamental shift in worlds. Her expertise in AI doesn't come from a typical tech background, but from a deep understanding of human systems, language, and international relations. This unique origin story frames her entire perspective on technology in a fascinating way.* She wants to translate information into smell. In a conversation about large language models and digital artifacts, her most exciting experiment is wonderfully human and unexpected. This reveals a playful, creative, and deeply sensory side that looks for understanding far beyond the screen.* She's a global citizen. Born near a ski resort in the north of Sweden, she later studied at Monash University in Melbourne (Jürgen's alma mater) and now lives and works in Lisbon, Portugal. This isn't just a list of places; it paints a picture of someone who is adaptable and thinks with a naturally global perspective.* She finds text to be an “unnatural medium.” Despite being a self-proclaimed “big fan of languages” and having a background that relied heavily on text, she has come to the conclusion that it's an artificial way for humans to communicate. This intellectual paradox is very cool; it shows she's not afraid to question the very foundations of her own past expertise.Ready to move beyond just creating content and start creating real connection?In the Age of AI, the future belongs to those who can amplify human wisdom.

Eric interviews Eric Cohen, a long-time figure in the aquarium industry, where he discusses his career evolution and current businesses, Blue Life USA and tankstop.com. Cohen details his early role as the second person to import live rock from Fiji to the US in the mid-1980s, sharing an anecdote about the first importer who went to jail for drug dealing. He explains how he co-founded Sea Dwelling Creatures in 1992, running it for 25 years before selling it in 2016 due to burnout and family health issues, driven by his growing focus on conservation. Cohen also discusses his re-entry into the livestock trade through tankstop.com, focusing on sustainable practices like importing real live rock from Australia and selling proprietary products through Blue Life USA, including the successful algae remedy Flux RX. Key Takeaways: Be ready to seize unexpected business opportunities, even in the early stages of your professional life. Recognize the seasonal changes in life and be willing to step away from a demanding business due to burnout or family needs. Cultivate a spiritual or devotional practice, such as Bhakti Yoga, to help stay grounded and manage your ego. Provide exceptional and personalized customer service to ensure interactions remain enjoyable and keep people involved in the hobby. Embrace new passions, like e-mountain biking, to find physical activity and enjoyment later in life.

Today's episode is an interview with Ben, the owner of BSA Corals, focusing on his extensive experience and passion for the coral farming and collecting hobby. Ben, who has been in the aquarium business for over two decades, discusses his addiction to collecting high-quality corals and his strategy of sourcing directly from suppliers in places like Bali, emphasizing his preference for the "best stuff" rather than dealing with lower-grade specimens. The conversation covers the transition in the reef hobby from predominantly wild-caught organisms to modern aquaculture and mariculture practices, the use of nano reef tanks for portability, and the day-to-day operations of his 1,700-square-foot facility in Scottsdale, Arizona, which focuses heavily on propagating species like Eanthophilia. Key Takeaways: Prioritize quality in your endeavors, even if it means paying a little bit more for the best results. Cultivate a deep addiction or passion for your interests, as this drives superior results. Develop your visual intuition to understand the health and needs of a system without constant high-tech testing. Focus on propagation and growth to ensure you can keep resources for yourself while sharing success with others. Recognize that stability is key, as a good ecosystem allows things to be hardy and resilient to shifts.

In launching Season 26 of Building Better Developers, the hosts zero in on what truly sustains developer growth. Building Better Foundations becomes both the theme and the promise: this season will dig into the “why” behind tech trends, sharpen essential habits, and help you stand on solid ground in a shifting landscape. Why Building Better Foundations Matters Rob Broadhead and Michael Meloche acknowledge that in a sea of buzzwords—AI, cloud, low-code, no-code, vibe coding—it's tempting to chase the next shiny tool. But they emphasize: without a foundation of clear reasoning and strong practices, those tools are at risk of collapsing under you. This season's goal is to get past surface hype to the principles that outlast trends. Building Better Foundations through Clarity on Buzzwords Part of the mission is deconstructing the buzz. The hosts plan to peel back layers—not just what new tools do, but whythey matter (or don't). Each episode will dig into a topic's role for developers, for business, and for end users. Below are three key concepts you'll hear about—and understanding them is part of your foundation. Building Better Foundations in Integrating Legacy + Future It's one thing to use new tech in a greenfield project; it's another to graft it onto 20-year-old systems. Rob emphasizes that migrating requires you to understand why the legacy system was built the way it was. Otherwise, you risk picking the wrong tools or design patterns and creating chaos. Building Better Foundations for Scale and Sustainability Michael warns: the fastest launch isn't always the wisest decision. Prototype tools built with low-code, no-code, or AI may serve you well early, but if they can't scale, you're stuck. This season will explore how to choose tools with an eye toward growth, pivot paths, and long-term stability. Building Better Foundations in Developer Mindset Beyond tools and architecture lies mindset. A strong developer habit is thinking intentionally—not chasing every “cool” trend, but grounding decisions in purpose, trade-offs, maintainability, and cost. As Rob says, a true developer is marked by how consistently they bring those fundamentals to every environment. Join the Building Better Foundations Conversation Rob and Michael invite you into the process. Email them at  info@develpreneur.com with your buzzwords, topic ideas, or challenges. This season is as much about dialogue as it is about lessons. “We grow together. We want to make sure you're part of this journey.” – Rob Broadhead Key Takeaways for Your Developer Foundation Keyphrase alert: Building Better Foundations is the guiding lens—ask “why” before jumping into any tool. When modernizing legacy systems, start with context and purpose, not just the latest tech. Always think about scale and pivot options—don't let fast prototypes become dead ends. Cultivate mindset over tool obsession. The habits you build are the real foundation.

In today's episode, I sit down with Dr. Jamil Zaki, a psychology professor at Stanford University and director of the Stanford Social Neuroscience Lab.

Breaking Free from Shame: How It Shapes and Strains Our Relationships Summary In this episode, Dr. Kevin Skinner and MaryAnn Michaelis, LCSW, dive deep into the destructive cycle of shame and its profound impact on relationships. Shame, often rooted in early childhood experiences, can silently disconnect partners—pulling one inward while leaving the other feeling abandoned and unseen. Together, Kevin and MaryAnn explore: How shame manifests in the body and nervous system as an automatic protective response. The cycle of shame between betrayed partners and those who have acted out, and why both can feel isolated and misunderstood. The difference between guilt ("I made a mistake") and shame ("I am a mistake"). Practical steps to recognize, name, and address shame—such as identifying its origins, noticing its physical cues, and finding safe spaces to share vulnerably. The role of vulnerability, responsibility, and self-compassion in breaking free from shame's grip and restoring intimacy. Listeners will walk away with a clearer understanding of how shame disconnects us from those we love, and with tools to begin shifting toward presence, confidence, and connection.

In this episode of The Nonprofit Exchange, I had the pleasure of speaking with Dr. Rick Rodriguez, co-founder of The Rooted Life, a bilingual coaching and consulting practice dedicated to empowering individuals and organizations through identity-affirming culture work and data-driven strategies. As a first-generation Mexicano-Americano from Laredo, Texas, Rick brings a wealth of experience from various sectors, including K-12 education, corporate environments, and nonprofit organizations. Rick shared his personal journey, highlighting the challenges he faced growing up in a family that lacked access to education and resources. Despite these barriers, his parents instilled in him the values of grit, persistence, and the importance of serving others. This upbringing shaped his commitment to removing obstacles for communities of color and fostering inclusive, values-aligned cultures. We delved into the concept of being "rooted in identity," which Rick emphasized as crucial for leaders and teams. He explained that many systems operate under white dominant paradigms that often overlook the richness of diverse identities. For Rick, his identity is deeply connected to his family's history and cultural background, and he advocates for authenticity in leadership, encouraging individuals to embrace their true selves rather than conforming to societal expectations. Rick introduced us to the "Rooted Way," a framework that consists of four stages: Identify, Cultivate, Activate, and Reflect. This model emphasizes the importance of self-awareness and unlearning harmful narratives while fostering a sense of curiosity and community. He believes that by understanding our own identities and experiences, we can create a ripple effect that encourages others to do the same, ultimately leading to societal change. Throughout our conversation, Rick shared a compelling story about his work with a charter school system in Colorado, where he helped a new CEO navigate leadership transitions by fostering vulnerability among the senior leadership team. This approach allowed team members to connect on a deeper level, moving beyond titles and roles to understand each other's personal stories and experiences. We also discussed common misconceptions in nonprofit leadership, such as the belief that achieving goals is the ultimate measure of success and that leaders must have all the answers. Rick challenged these notions, emphasizing the importance of listening to the voices of those we serve and being open to pivoting our strategies based on community needs. As we wrapped up the episode, Rick offered practical advice for leaders looking to build a sense of belonging within their organizations, highlighting the power of self-reflection. He also encouraged boards to consistently ask whether they are meeting the needs of the communities they serve. This episode is a treasure trove of insights for anyone involved in nonprofit work, leadership, or community engagement. Rick's passion for identity, culture, and service shines through, and I left our conversation feeling inspired to take action in my own work. If you're looking to deepen your understanding of these critical issues and learn how to implement meaningful change, I highly recommend listening to this episode. Learn more about your ad choices.

Today's episode focuses on the recent assassination of Charlie Kirk, which Eric and participants express sadness and distress over, tying the event to broader societal issues like the decline of free speech and civil discourse. Triplett emphasizes that the conversation is not political but rather focuses on the values Kirk stood for, such as logic, integrity, gratitude, and clear communication, applying these lessons to their audience of contractors and business leaders. Other participants share their emotional struggles, condemn the violence, and discuss the need for empathy, listening, and leading with core values like family and faith in response to traumatic events. Key Takeaways: Practice clear thinking and use logic instead of defaulting to outrage. Cultivate civil discourse by listening more and seeking to understand opposing viewpoints with empathy. Guard your words, speak with precision, and avoid gossip or name-calling. Lead with core values like gratitude, honesty, respect, and integrity in all aspects of your life. Spend more dedicated time with your family and loved ones.

In this episode of The GoodKind Podcast, Clayton Greene, Chris Pappalardo, and Amy Kavanaugh explore the meaning and purpose of work. They unpack what Scripture says about work as both creation and cultivation, and how our modern understanding often drifts toward toil, burnout, or misplaced ambition. The hosts reflect on the balance between work and rest, the danger of idolizing our vocations, and how even the most ordinary jobs can serve as a blessing to others when done with integrity, compassion, and excellence. They also discuss the blurred lines between work and home in today's culture and the importance of seeing value beyond monetary measures.TakeawaysWork is part of God's design—we create and cultivate because we are made in His image.The purpose of work is to bless others and glorify God, not just to earn money.Even “ordinary” jobs can reflect God's character and contribute to human flourishing.Burnout often comes from idolizing work or overidentifying with output.Work and rest are meant to coexist; Sabbath reminds us to stop and trust God.Value isn't only found in economic output—homemaking, caregiving, and unseen work matter deeply.Joy in work can be restorative when approached with the right rhythms and boundaries.Resources Playing God by Andy Crouch — on creative vs. corruptive powerGoodKind Advent Blocks — goodkind.shop

What if the difference between staying stuck and stepping into your breakthrough is simply what you expect?In this episode of The Vibrant Flow Podcast, Jo unpacks the life-changing power of expectation, both scientifically and spiritually.

Scripture reminds us that faith is confident expectation of God's goodness:“I would have despaired unless I had believed that I would see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.” (Psalm 27:13)“Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.” (Hebrews 11:1)Jo shares stories, studies, and practical steps to help you:✨ Raise your expectations without pressure.✨ Fuel your self-leadership with hope and optimism.✨ See how expectancy unlocks motivation, resilience, and daily joy.✨ Cultivate a mindset that says, “I expect to see God's goodness today.”This episode is a pep talk for the woman who's tired of shrinking back, shielding herself from disappointment, or settling for less than she's called to.

This episode explores the concept of a "triple threat" across various aspects of life, including sports, music, business, sales, personal growth, family, and health. Eric and Tyson discuss how excelling in three key areas defines a standout individual or entity. For instance, in baseball, a triple crown hitter masters home runs, RBIs, and stolen bases, while a successful band needs lyrics, stage presence, and captivating musicality. The conversation emphasizes that identifying and cultivating these three crucial elements can lead to greater success and a more well-rounded approach in any endeavor. Key Takeaways: Apply the triple threat concept to your passions and life goals, recognizing that good things often happen in threes and lead to balance and completeness. Cultivate a strong mindset, rigorous discipline, and positive habits to foster continuous personal growth. Prioritize your family by being present, showing love and attention, and dedicating quality time. Achieve optimal health through balanced nutrition, consistent physical training, and adequate recovery or sleep. Approach sales and personal interactions with empathy, educational value, and clear communication to serve others effectively and build trust.
