Discover how the right people in college baseball programs lead to sustainable success. Learn why coaching and culture matter for athletes and teams.As college baseball season kicks off, fans and analysts alike focus on team rosters and player acquisitions. But what if the real key to success lies not in the players themselves, but in the people running the programs? In this post, we'll explore the importance of strong leadership, culture, and the continuity of coaching staff in building successful college baseball programs.College baseball has become increasingly competitive, with more teams utilizing the transfer portal to acquire top talent. However, the foundation of success in any program often lies with the coaches. Coaches who have a strong vision, a clear identity, and the ability to motivate players create an environment where athletes can thrive. This is especially true when continuity exists among the coaching staff, allowing strategies and philosophies to be consistently implemented.Successful programs are built on a strong culture that emphasizes accountability, hard work, and a commitment to improvement. For instance, LSU baseball, known for its storied history, consistently attracts top talent due to its reputation and the winning culture established by its coaching staff. Players want to be part of programs that have a clear identity and a history of success, leading to better recruitment and retention of talent.

In today's minisode, Football coach and author Brian White shares essential leadership lessons on building winning cultures that apply far beyond the field. Brian breaks down why trust must flow both ways, from the individual entering a new organization and from the team itself, and reveals why assimilating into an existing culture before trying to change it is the key to lasting impact. Whether you're a sales leader establishing yourself in a new company, a manager building team cohesion, or a CRO creating a culture where people compete selfishly but give selflessly, this episode delivers actionable insights on peer leadership, the power of direct human engagement, and why the huddle is always more important than the position. Brian White is a veteran Division I football coach, Assistant Coach of the Year, and author of The Locker Room Is Not for Sale. Over 55 years in and around elite programs including Notre Dame, he has coached national champions, developed NFL talent including Heisman Trophy winner Ron Dayne, and built cultures grounded in respect, accountability, and the human touch.

Cultures and societies use a common emotion to control and to keep order, this emotion has hung around in every society and culture no matter how much we try and shake it off, we're talking about Shame! What is it, why do we feel it, and how does the gospel change it? We're camping on one verse in Proverbs 27 to unpack this painful, and awkward topic, but it is worth it if that means you can be free from shame. Get ready to break the stronghold that shame has had over you in Jesus name!

No! Not alligators - litigators. Trial attorneys who are curious about learning the tools to engage with their own narrative so that they could connect to the stories of their plaintiff clients - not as lawyers but as people. Once they know how to access their own stories they can engage the experiences of the jury, find common ground with the plaintiff's story and, be well on their way to winning the trial.Over 30 years my clients have learned that before you tell someone else's story be very clear about your own. Do the hard work of an archeological dig on your narrative. Once we understand how our narrative shapes and re-shapes our life, our purpose, the relationships we have with others we are well on our way to knowing what we stand for, what we won't stand for, and how we can be of service. Our story can become one of advocacy, leadership, and healing. Our story can shift attitudes, behaviors, even cultures.CURIOUS TO LEARN MORE?

On this episode of the Hayek Program Podcast, Chris Coyne talks with Abigail Hall and Jayme Lemke about Kenneth and Elise Boulding's insights into what it means to build and sustain peace. Drawing on her paper “In Search of Stable Peace,” Hall explores Kenneth Boulding's framework for understanding peace and war, focusing on the roles of strain and strength and the shifting taboo lines that shape movement between stable and unstable peace. Lemke then turns to Elise Boulding's vision of peace as an active, everyday practice, emphasizing the often-overlooked forms of peacebuilding embedded in ordinary social relationships and institutions. Together, the conversations emphasize peace as a process shaped by ideas, institutions, and imagination.Dr. Abigail R.

Dhruva and I explore both sides of the debate, starting with the case for fully remote organizations. Remote work expands the talent pool beyond geography, allowing companies to access exceptional people wherever they live. It can reduce bias linked to physical presence and office politics, and it often enables deeper focus without constant interruption. Asynchronous communication can sharpen thinking, improve documentation, and create clearer decision trails. Flexibility can also preserve energy and prevent burnout, which is critical for sustaining long term elite performance.From there, we examine the counterargument. Elite performance cultures often rely on talent opportunity bridging, where proximity accelerates access to stretch roles, mentorship, and high visibility work. Informal trust networks can move faster than formal systems. Serendipity matters, and non work conversations frequently spark breakthrough ideas. When solving difficult problems, reduced lag time and rapid back and forth can compound into a meaningful advantage. Work has historically created strong social bonds as well, from industry towns to innovation hubs, where shared space reinforced shared ambition.We unpack whether elite cultures are built on flexibility and design or on density and shared presence, and what fully remote companies must do if they want to maintain exceptional standards rather than drift toward average.
-LEADING ALIGNED CULTURES OF SHARED SUCCESS- In this episode, Edgar and Ken explore why lasting culture change starts by building on existing strengths instead of forcing sweeping overhauls. They discuss the dangers of relying solely on authority to drive change and why that approach often creates resistance rather than alignment. The conversation highlights the importance of leaders taking time to understand the current culture—separating observable behaviors from personal assumptions—before attempting meaningful transformation. The purpose of The True Alignment® podcast is to start the conversation around alignment, both in business and personal life, and it is up to you to see that conversation through. As always, if you have any questions, possible topics, or are looking to take your alignment further, please reach out to us at info@truealignment.com.

Are we living in an era of competing international orders? A new book, entitled Competing Visions for International Order: Challenges for a Shared Direction in an Age of Global Contestation (Routledge, 2025) edited by Ville Sinkkonen, Veera Laine, Matti Puranen addresses the ultimate question. In this episode of the Nordic Asia Podcast, Prof. Julie Yu-Wen Chen from the University of Helsinki talks to Ville Sinkkonen (Finnish Institute of International Affairs), Matti Puranen (Finnish National Defense University and University of Helsinki), and Bart Gaens (Finnish Institute of International Affairs and the International Centre for Defense and Security) about the ambition of this new book and several key takeaways concerning particularly the US, China, and India from this book. The book's analysis also offers normative prescriptions on how to avoid a tragic race to the bottom – a fragmented world of competing orders where states are unable to address shared global crises and challenges such as pandemics, cross-border crime, climate tragedies, and armed conflict. With this, it concludes by recognising the importance of agency as well as political imagination in navigating the crisis-ridden ordering moment of the international system. This book will be of key interest to scholars and students in global order studies and governance, geopolitics, regional studies, foreign policy analysis as well as more broadly to international relations and security, political history, human geography, and policymakers.

Teamwork takes center court today as Joel chats with a decorated college basketball star who has spent a lifetime winning the right way. Her name is Micha Mims, Founder and CEO of Valued. She doesn't coach inclusivity from a whiteboard-she's lived it, from every role on a team where the choice is always the same: come together or fall apart. By believing differences are the advantage and tough conversations build champions, she empowers organizations to stop playing not to lose, and start building trust that moves the needle. Leadership is about to meet the locker room, and culture will decide who wins.Website: https://valued-consulting.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/valuedllc/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/culturecoachCheck out our YouTube Channel: https://youtu.be/jrL9fuVSE50
Culture doesn't break down because leaders lack effort or good intentions—it breaks down when there's a gap between how leaders show up and how teams experience that leadership.In this episode, Jenni Catron builds on last week's conversation about the Clarity Cascade—mission, vision, strategy, and structure—and takes it one level deeper. The focus shifts from who is on the team to how well leaders are equipping people to fully engage once clarity is in place.Jenni unpacks why self-awareness is one of the strongest predictors of leadership success and how emotional intelligence directly shapes organizational culture. Drawing on research, real-world leadership experience, and the LeadCulture Framework, she explains why competence alone isn't enough—and why leaders must develop both self-awareness and others' awareness to build healthy, high-trust teams.You'll also hear why tools like personality assessments and Patrick Lencioni's Working Genius can be powerful culture-shaping resources when used well—not as labels, but as shared language that improves collaboration, alignment, and momentum.If you've clarified roles, strategy, and structure but still feel like your team is getting stuck, this episode will help you identify what might be missing—and how growing emotional intelligence can unlock the next level of effectiveness.This conversation sets the stage for Jenni's upcoming webinar with Patrick Lencioni, where they'll dive deeper into how Working Genius strengthens teams and accelerates culture health.We need your help to get the LeadCulture podcasts in front of more leaders!

In this episode, I have the absolute pleasure of stepping inside the Los Angeles home of designer Sean Leffers—someone whose work I admire for its depth, sensitivity, and extraordinary sense of narrative. From the moment we walk through the door, it's clear that Sean doesn't decorate; he curates a life. His rooms are layered with art, antiques, travel finds, spiritual references, and handmade pieces that carry memory and lineage.As we tour, Sean shares the stories behind Japanese metalwork born from peacetime, Brazilian and Sri Lankan furniture, colonial Peruvian carving, block-printed textiles from India, and contemporary works by artists he loves and champions. We talk about how culture travels, how objects evolve across borders, and why the blurred line between art and craft makes a home feel human.Most of all, this episode is about connection. Each vignette becomes an invitation—to ask questions, to linger, to see more. If you want a home that feels personal, soulful, and deeply lived in, this conversation is full of inspiration.Download the free guide to Define Your Signature StyleBuy the book, "Slow Style Home"Learn more at our website Want to finally define your style?

Overview: We explore intersection of aging, mental health, and technology with Neelam, founder of Total Life, to explore how we can better support seniors through innovative care models and AI-powered tools. We hear how a personal family experience inspired Neelam to address the lack of mental health support in elder care, and learn about Total Life's approach to integrating therapy into seniors' primary care visits and reducing barriers to access, such as long wait times and lack of culturally competent providers. We discuss the stigma around therapy in older populations, the challenges and opportunities of providing virtual care, and how AI assistant “Lily” is being piloted to enhance adherence and engagement without replacing human clinicians. Three Takeaways: Mental Health in Elderly Care Is Critically UnderservedThrough a personal story about her mother's post-surgery depression during COVID, Neelam emphasizes that mental health for seniors is rarely integrated into discharge plans or standard care. She points out the shocking statistic that less than 6% of seniors get timely mental health interventions, underscoring a systemic issue in resource allocation. Cultural and Linguistic Barriers Compound Access IssuesThe episode tackles the unique cultural challenges seniors face in accessing therapy, especially when language and cultural concordance are needed. Neelam discusses their efforts to build a diverse roster of therapists, including different ages, religions, and languages—an element crucial for genuine engagement and effectiveness. AI's Role as a Clinical Ally, Not a ReplacementIntroducing “Lilly,” an AI-based care coordinator, Neelam makes it clear that while AI can enhance engagement and adherence in care plans, it is not meant to replace human clinicians. The episode explores how older adults are surprisingly receptive to technology when it's framed as helpful and personable, and how AI can fill gaps between therapy sessions.

What happens when Enneagram Eight energy grows up, softens its edges, and learns to lead with both strength and soul? In this episode of Typology, Ian Morgan Cron sits down with restaurateur, entrepreneur, and conscious capitalism advocate Dan Simons, co-owner of Founding Farmers, for a wide-ranging, deeply human conversation about power, protection, and what it really means to build a culture of care. Dan is brand-new to the Enneagram—and quickly discovers he's an Eight with a strong Nine wing, a compelling combination that blends moral clarity with empathy, decisiveness with nuance, and fire with calm. Together, Ian and Dan explore how Eights aren't just challengers—they're often defenders: leaders shaped by early experiences of injustice who instinctively stand up for the vulnerable. Along the way, they talk candidly about: Why anger can be a tool rather than a liability when it's consciously harnessed How leadership failures are often listening failures (and the three most powerful words a leader can say) How putting emotional well-being on equal footing with profit actually increases performance, retention, and long-term value What a healthy workplace should feel like when you walk through the door (hint: think Labrador retriever, not shark tank) This is a masterclass in evolved leadership and a hopeful vision of capitalism done with conscience. If you're a leader, an Enneagram Eight, or someone longing for work cultures that don't crush the human spirit, this conversation will leave you both challenged and encouraged—in the best possible way. Listen in and pull up a chair. There's a seat for you at this table. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- About Dan Simons Dan Simons is regarded as a leading voice in mission-driven business practices, known for championing people-centric culture and responsible industry standards while developing systems that deliver profitability.
