The pace of organizational change has never been greater. According to the World Economic Forum, C-suite executives are continuously upskilling, restructuring their organizations, and investing in talent development to remain competitive in an era increasingly shaped by artificial intelligence and rapid market disruption. At the same time, LinkedIn reports that up to 85% of executives believe innovation is the most important outcome of their workplace technology and AI investments. Yet technology alone doesn't create innovation. Innovation is ultimately driven by people. Organizations that thrive understand that trust, psychological safety, inclusive leadership, and continuous learning are the true competitive advantages behind sustainable business success. This week on Let's Have This Conversation, I sat down with Billy Bonaparte, MBA, Transformational Culture Executive and Director of Culture and Engagement at Humana, to explore what it truly takes to build organizations where people—and performance—flourish. Billy has built a career helping organizations accelerate growth through talent, innovation, organizational culture, and human performance. Throughout his leadership journey, he has demonstrated that culture isn't simply an HR initiative—it's a strategic business capability. During his time at Humana, Billy led award-nominated culture and engagement initiatives that reached more than 10,000 associates, sustained engagement levels above 90%, and positioned organizational culture as a key driver of business strategy. His leadership included launching the enterprise-wide "Interrupting Bias" campaign, a 16-part video series that generated more than 100,000 views while encouraging authentic conversations around equitable opportunity and belonging. He also facilitated town halls reaching more than 10,000 employees and advised senior executives on communication strategies that strengthened trust across every level of the organization. What makes Billy's leadership especially compelling is that his work extends beyond strategy documents and organizational charts. He believes transformational leadership begins by connecting hearts and minds. Whether coaching executives to lead with authenticity, creating space for courageous conversations, or aligning organizational purpose with employee engagement, Billy consistently demonstrates that lasting cultural transformation happens when leaders intentionally invest in people. Throughout our conversation, we explored several timely leadership topics, including: One of the strongest themes throughout our discussion was that organizations don't create exceptional cultures by accident. They create them intentionally. Culture is built through the everyday behaviors leaders model, the psychological safety they establish, the trust they cultivate, and the opportunities they create for every employee to contribute their best ideas. As artificial intelligence continues transforming how organizations operate, the companies that distinguish themselves won't simply be those with the most advanced technology. They'll be the organizations whose leaders know how to combine innovation with empathy, purpose, inclusion, and human connection. Because while technology may accelerate business, people remain the driving force behind every breakthrough. This conversation offers practical insights for executives, HR professionals, organizational leaders, and anyone committed to building workplaces where trust fuels innovation, leadership inspires growth, and culture becomes a lasting competitive advantage.     LinkedIn: @BillyBonaparte, MBA     Learn more about your ad choices.

LMI touts itself as a provider of “commercial-grade, mission-ready technology” as a description of its goal to bring fast-moving technology into federal environments with strict requirements on security and other key matters. But how does LMI define that technology and how do they bring it forward to agencies? Alex Adamczyk – vice president of sales, engineering and rapid prototyping at Company No. 73 on our 2026 Top 100 – joins for this episode to answer those questions and more about LMI's approach to innovation and integration. Culture is everything, to the point that LMI reorganized the company to emphasize that every employee plays a role in innovation. Adamczyk takes our Ross Wilkers through the company's new structure to achieve that aim. Adamczyk also explains how the unique, bespoke nature of certain government problems does not necessarily prevent industry and agencies from embracing more commercial-like development and integration approaches.

How do leaders create a unified culture at their organizations that's not only sustainable but propels growth and success?  Psychologist Jennifer A. Chatman and sociologist Glenn R. Carroll put their expertise on management and organizational behavior together in the new book, Making Organizational Culture Great: Moving Beyond Popular Beliefs. Chatman is Dean of the Haas School of Business at UC Berkeley and Carroll is a professor of management at Stanford University.  On this episode, they join Greg to discuss how organizational culture research has evolved, valid methods for measuring culture within a firm, the defining characteristics of strong cultures, how culture and strategy are complements to each other, and practices for changing an organization's culture. They also delve into case studies from existing organizations like Netflix, Genetech, and Berkeley Haas.  *unSILOed Podcast is produced by University FM.* Episode Quotes: Why great strategies fall 08:13: [Jenniffer Chatman] The problem has never been finding the right answer. The problem has been scaling it up through the entire organization so that you're actually delivering, right? I mean, you teach strategy. Strategy formulation is, there's theory and there are best practices, and you can develop a beautiful, elegant, distinctive strategy that takes into account all the dynamics that are going on currently. But if you can't implement that throughout the organization, it's not valuable. So culture is the other piece of that, which is how to cascade things through an organization that allows it to execute completely on a well-advised strategy. Cultures form whether you design or not 54:29:  [Jenniffer Chatman]  No matter what you do or don't do, a culture will form. And if you're not intentional about it, the risk is that a culture forms that actually deviates significantly from what your true objectives are, and then, you're in trouble. What makes a strong culture? 11:56: [Glenn Glenn Carrol] Strong culture is the combination of high intensity by individuals, which means they really care about what goes on, and they will go out of their way to correct people if they think you're doing it wrong. So that kind of intensity, coupled with homogeneity or agreement among people in the organization about what should be done. And so when you have both high intensity and high agreement, you have what we call a strong culture. Now, the content of the culture is the actual substance of the rituals, beliefs, practices, and you can find, by our definition, strong culture organizations that run the gamut from business organizations to religious organizations to cults to terrorist cells, you name it. So around any content, you can pretty much produce a strong culture.

What do you do when you're offered an opportunity that will definitely stretch you but also scares you, and your first instinct is to hand it to someone else, because you feel you're not quite qualified? That's the moment we unpack in this interview with Ai Asakura, Alumni Program Manager for the TOMODACHI Initiative at the U.S.-Japan Council, who I met at an expat meetup in Fukuoka this spring — one with that same eclectic, cross-cultural energy as New York City, where you connect peer to peer with people from all walks of life. Ai is bicultural like me, and she's spent her career building bridges — between Japan and the U.S., and between mentees and the mentors who help shape their paths. But it took her some time to recognize being bicultural as her own superpower, and when she did, it empowered her to say yes to an opportunity most people would've handed to someone with a bigger title.Key TakeawaysLeadership is not a job title: You can be a leader as a mentor, a community organizer, a parent, or a volunteer—impact and initiative matter more than status.Networking is people-to-people connection, not transaction: Powerful “networking” often looks like simply being curious about others and building genuine human relationships.Bicultural identity is a superpower: Living between cultures, as Ai does between Japan and the U.S., creates unique insight, empathy, and the ability to act as a bridge.Opportunities often arrive through community: Ai's major career transitions—from hospitality to translation to TOMODACHI—came through relationships and community involvement.Saying yes can be the real “risky conversation”: Accepting the invitation to represent her region as a mentor felt risky to Ai, but turning it down would have meant betraying the message she gives her mentees about stepping up.Operation TOMODACHI to TOMODACHI Initiative: The humanitarian response to the 2011 Great East Japan earthquake evolved into a long-term leadership and exchange program impacting over 10,000 alumni.Exposure to hope changes trajectories: Young people from disaster-affected regions returned from U.S. programs with renewed hope, agency, and a desire to rebuild their communities.Community work can clarify your own identity: Serving Japanese communities in the U.S. helped Ai reconnect to her Japanese roots and recognize her role as a cultural bridge.Curiosity is a core leadership habit: Being genuinely interested in people—their stories, cultures, and experiences—naturally expands your world and your opportunities.There is still hope in the world: Despite global uncertainty, Ai emphasizes that human-to-human connection, especially across cultures, is a powerful source of hope.FeaturedConnect with Ai Asakura on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ai-asakura0977/Learn about the US-Japan Council: https://www.usjapancouncil.org/Connect with Jamie Lee on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/leejieunjamie/Learn about 1:1 executive coaching with Jamie Lee here: https://www.jamieleecoach.com/applyText me your thoughts on this episode!Enjoy the show? Don't miss an episode, listen and subscribe via Apple Podcasts or Spotify.  Leave me a review in Apple Podcasts. Connect with meBook a free hour-long consultation with me.

What does effective disciple-making look like across different cultures—and what can leaders in the United States learn from what God is doing around the world? In this episode of the No Regrets Leadership Podcast, Albo Esilaba talks with Steven Steinhaus, Regional Director for New Generations in Southeast Asia. Drawing from more than 22 years of missionary service, Steven shares how his understanding of leadership changed from personally filling every leadership gap to identifying, encouraging, and coaching others to lead. Steven discusses: Why disciple making begins before someone comes to faith The difference between counting conversions and developing reproducing disciples Why people in many gospel-unreached cultures may be more spiritually open than Western leaders assume How Discovery Bible Study helps people encounter Scripture without importing unnecessary cultural assumptions Opportunities to engage immigrants and refugees with the gospel Why leaders must allow others to see them faithfully following Jesus Steven also shares stories from Southeast Asia, Chicago, and other parts of the world that demonstrate how simple conversations, visible faith, and an invitation to explore Scripture can open the door to life-changing relationships. His final challenge to leaders is direct: Do not merely tell others how to follow Jesus. Live in a way that allows them to follow your example as you follow Christ.

Why does creating a feedback-friendly culture fail? Most people welcome feedback that fits the story they already have about themselves, but reject feedback that challenges their existing identity. Real transformation begins when leaders and teams develop the capacity to hold tension, stay in the conversation, and let in the feedback they would normally push away. That's what creates meaningful change: not just asking for feedback, but learning how to truly receive it.

What if the best leadership training you ever received didn't happen in a boardroom or a classroom, but on a field?Lloyd Brown has spent his career proving that the principles that build championship teams are the same principles that build extraordinary organizations.

His research focuses on the premodern transmission of Jewish knowledge, as well as the development of Jewish ritual and liturgy. His first book, Studies in the Development of Birkat ha-Avodah, deals with liturgy's historical development. He is currently working on a book tracing the reception and transmission history of the Mishnah.

It's 2pm, you've read the same email three times, and you're reaching for another coffee. What if that afternoon fog is actually one of the most reliable signals your body sends all day?In this episode, your host Elizabeth Mintun (licensed psychotherapist, certified qigong teacher, and mindfulness coach), explores what's really happening in your nervous system during the afternoon energy dip, and why the way most of us respond (more caffeine, more willpower, more pushing) quietly costs us more than we realize.Elizabeth unpacks the biology behind the midday slump - from circadian rhythms to the lesser-known 90-minute ultradian waves we move through all day - and explains why the familiar "wired and tired" state comes from overriding the body's natural requests to downshift. She shares her own relationship with the afternoon dip, the simple five-minute practices that changed it, and why a real pause works at a level your phone never will. This episode is for anyone who hits a wall every afternoon and has been blaming themselves for it.Key TakeawaysThe afternoon dip is built into your biology. Your circadian rhythm naturally sags between 1-3pm whether or not you ate a big lunch. Cultures around the world have honored this with siestas and midday rest. Your body moves in waves all day. Roughly every 90 minutes (ultradian rhythms), your system asks to downshift - a yawn, drifting attention, the urge to stretch. Each time you override that request with caffeine or willpower, you add activation and tension to the system."Wired and tired" is what stacking looks like. Exhausted underneath, buzzing on top. This state comes from pouring stimulation over unanswered fatigue. Caffeine masks the signal; it doesn't answer it.Scrolling isn't a break. When you switch from the spreadsheet to social media, the input changes but your nervous system stays activated. A true pause is a deliberate downshift, which is a cue of safety that invites the settled, connected ventral vagal state where heart rate eases and breath deepens on its own.ResourcesFree Guided Meditation: https://thecalmingground.com/free-guided-meditationThe Sacred Pause Half-Day Retreat in Clintonville (Columbus, OH):

In the three decades since the rise of the global internet, digitalization has transformed how media are made, circulated, and consumed, reshaping culture on a planetary scale. Yet the story of global media is not one of seamless connection or cultural homogenization. Planet Digital: A Global Media Cultures Reader (NYU Press, 2026) challenges the myth of a “global village,” revealing instead how regional histories, infrastructures, economies, and power relations shape the uneven terrains of our digital world. Edited by the series editors of Critical Cultural Communication, this field-defining anthology gathers leading scholars to examine the texts, genres, platforms, and industries that define today's global entertainment landscape. From TikTok to Squid Game, K-Pop to Marvel, Bluey to Nollywood, each chapter offers a focused case study that illuminates how digital media both reflect and remake global cultural life. Spanning influencer culture, streaming platforms, esports, and beyond, Planet Digital shows how digital technologies and global media flows continually reshape one another, producing hybrid forms of creativity, circulation, and control. Together, these essays provide a vital framework for understanding how the world's screens, sounds, and networks are rewriting the relationship between culture and power in the twenty-first century.

In this episode I am once again joined by Dr Francisco José Luis, scholar of Indo-Iranian Studies and Comparative Religion trained at the Sorbonne, Paris and SOAS, London. Francisco describes the religious and philosophical view of Traditionalism, tracing the ideas of figures such as René Guénon, Julius Evola, and Henry Corbin to give a sense of the different strands of this increasingly influential system of thought. Francisco explains what he sees as the importance of uniting spiritual and martial disciplines, recounts his own experiences of receiving death threats during his academic research, and argues for an aristocracy of the soul. Francisco also addresses criticisms that associate Traditionalism with the political far right, various forms of ethnic and cultural chauvinism, and imperialism; compares and contrasts different caste and class systems from around the world; and outlines his objections to Plato's ideas about education. … Also available on Youtube, iTunes, & Spotify – search “Guru Viking Podcast”. … Topics include: 00:00 - Intro 01:06 - First encounter with Traditionalism 06:03 - René Guénon 10:11 - Devotion to Indian saints 12:05 - Concern for the working class 15:51 - At odds with society's direction 16:55 - Beyond René Guénon 17:50 - Debates are a competition between egos 19:30 - Julius Evola and the aristocracy of the Soul 22:45 - Who was Julius Evola 26:02 - Warriors, Brahmins, and merchants 28:07 - Corruption of the Brahmin class 29:51 - Evola's theory of the body, soul, and spirit 33:05 - Evola and fascism 34:58 - Trial of Evola 36:31 - Francisco's favourite Traditionalist 37:15 - Where does religion and mysticism fit into Traditionalism? 42:30 - Elites should practice a spiritual discipline 44:03 - Critique of institutional Catholicism 45:17 - Warrior spirituality 47:33 - Why Francisco is attracted to Sikhism 48:45 - Spiritual warfare 51:39 - Sikh Khalsa 52:17 - Francisco's interest in the martial arts 55:13 - Receiving death threats 57:37 - Facing death like a samurai 59:38 - Embodiment 01:01:13 - Limitations of Henry Corbin 01:05:41 - Is Traditionalism far right? 01:20:34 - Cultures should respect each other 01:25:31 - European vs American cultures 01:26:44 - Pros and cons of American culture 01:31:55 - Warning about the language of Traditionalism 01:32:48 - Spirituality and politics 01:34:37 - Warrior spirituality is not for everyone 01:41:28 - Dangers of warrior spirituality 01:42:24 - Francisco's spiritual path 01:43:11 - Francisco's therapy journey 01:45:15 - Setting boundaries without hatred 01:47:13 - Why discuss the application of religion to politics? 01:48:52 - Plato's views on education 01:50:55 - Francisco's disagreement with Plato 01:53:18 - Francisco's suggestion for education 01:55:15 - Waldorf education 01:55:59 - Speculum principum … Previous episodes with Dr Francisco José Luis: - https://www.guruviking.com/search?q=francisco To find our more about Dr Francisco José Luis, visit: - https://www.instagram.com/hludvig_tradicionalista For more interviews, videos, and more visit: - https://www.guruviking.com Music ‘Deva Dasi' by Steve James
