KEY TAKEAWAYS: Asking better questions helps you grow faster than just looking for answers. The best people in business stay curious and always keep learning. Small changes can lead to huge results if you know what to change. Even top performers have blind spots that hold them back. Many people miss out on big money by not looking at past deals.

You'll also hear how Auvik got dragged for a meme, owned it publicly, and came out stronger — a.k.a. how to market like a human.If you've ever uttered the words “we need more MQLs” while ignoring your company's meme game… this one's for you.

In this episode Kreed explores the concept of echo chambers in the context of estrangement. She discusses how these echo chambers can provide comfort and validation but ultimately hinder emotional growth, understanding and healing. Kreed emphasizes the importance of seeking out diverse perspectives and challenging oneself to break free from the confines of echo chambers to foster healing and reconciliation in estranged relationships.Takeaways- True healing begins when we start asking the hard questions out loud.- Echo chambers can stabilize your emotional freefall but can also become a cage.- Support is essential, but it must invite growth, not just comfort.- Curiosity over certainty is key to emotional growth.- Reconciliation requires embracing change and leaving the echo chamber.www.TheEstrangedHeart.comEmail: hello@TheEstrangedHeart.comWork with Kreed: https://theestrangedheart.com/services(private coaching, mediation, support groups, webinars, etc.)The Heart Collective: https://theestrangedheart.com/membershipFacebook Support Group for Estranged Moms (facilitated by Kreed)https://www.facebook.com/groups/estrangedmotherssupportgroupTo support the podcast and Kreed's work with estranged and reconciled parents and adult children: https://buymeacoffee.com/kreedrevere

I've talked before on the podcast about FOMO - the Fear of Missing Out. How interesting it is that people will go so far as to co-opt other people's drama, misery and grief just in order to be in line with whatever meme or topic is hot at the time.Yeah, when you think of it that way it sounds pretty awful.But is it?Or is it just another sign that people's sense of self has gotten so far outta what that we'll do anything to belong?In a world where what passes for radical honesty usually means someone is just letting things fly outta their pie-hole without much care for others, it's time for radically authentic conversation. Conscious communication is simple, but often isn't easy. That's why Cathy Brooks created Talk, Unleashed – a weekly podcast of radically honest conversation about — everything. Whether her own musings or in conversation with industry leaders, each episode invites curiosity. Curiosity not about what people do, but why they do it. Who they are and what makes them tick. It's about digging underneath to reveal the thing that is most true - that we are more alike than we are not. A mix of solo episodes where Cathy shares her insights and experience or Cathy engaged in conversation with fascinating humans doing amazing things. No matter the format - it's unvarnished, radically honest and entirely unleashed. This podcast compliments Unleashed Leadership, the coaching business through which Cathy works with symphony orchestras, corporate clients, and individuals to help them unleash and untether their leadership and connect with others in a way that truly engages.#FOMO #cooptinggrief #selfassurance #honesty #brutalhonesty #radicalhonesty #consciouscommunication #leadership #Conversation #connection #TalkUnleashed #fiercecompassion #UnleashedConversation #UnleashedLeadership #FixYourEndofTheLeash

A live SXSW panel on how employee complaints illuminate the path to organizational innovation.Wrong question: How can AI revolutionize productivity in my organization?Right question: What do my employees hate most about their jobs?For the Portland Trail Blazers, a winning game plan for AI implementation didn't begin with a tech-first approach — it began with a talk-first one. “The whole concept was to talk about pain points," explains David Long, VP of Digital Innovation, describing the "Lunch and Launch" sessions where employees could openly share frustrations about their daily work. “People really enjoy talking about what they hate about their jobs,” says Christa Stout, Executive Vice President and Chief Strategy & Innovation Officer, and as they did, they illuminated opportunities for optimization. “By getting this insight across the whole company, it is already opening our eyes [to how] we can potentially transform the business more broadly,” Stout says.In this special live episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, recorded at SXSW, host Matt Abrahams leads a panel with Long, Stout, and Stanford colleague Jeremy Utley, exploring how "catharsis catalyzes change.” For any team wanting to implement new technology or rethink workflows, these experts reveal how creating space for complaints can catalyze meaningful innovation throughout an organization.Episode Reference Links:Jeremy UtleyDavid LongChrista StoutEp.77 Quick Thinks: AI Has Entered The Chat – A "Conversation" with ChatGPTEp.134 How to Chat with Bots: The Secrets to Getting the Information You Need from AI  Connect:Premium Signup >>>> Think Fast Talk Smart PremiumEmail Questions & Feedback >>> hello@fastersmarter.ioEpisode Transcripts >>> Think Fast Talk Smart WebsiteNewsletter Signup + English Language Learning >>> FasterSmarter.ioThink Fast Talk Smart >>> LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTubeMatt Abrahams >>> LinkedInChapters:(00:00) - Introduction (04:42) - The Business Behind Basketball (06:13) - Why AI and Why Now?

What if the key to scaling a business isn't knowing the industry inside and out–but knowing how to fix what's broken? Brendan P. Keegan is a six-time CEO, two-time bestselling author, and founder of bFEARLESS Ventures. He's raised over $10 billion in capital, led six companies to exit, and grew Merchants Fleet from $500 million to $2.5 billion–without ever working in fleet management before. Now retired at 55, Brendan spends his time investing in bold ideas and living out his mission to build one million fearless leaders. The Power of Curiosity and Problem-Solving You don't need to be the expert in the room, but you do need to be the one who asks better questions. Brendan shares why curiosity, not credentials, became the throughline of his career. From turning around struggling startups to transforming a 55-year-old legacy business, he explains how to spot broken systems, challenge assumptions, and lead a team through massive growth–even when you're the new kid in the industry. Why Fear Holds You Back (And What to Do About It) Think fear isn't shaping your decisions? Think again. Brendan calls it the FUD factor–fear, uncertainty, and doubt–and says it quietly shapes how most people show up at work and in life. In this episode, he breaks down how to build fear-resilient leadership: how to stop waiting until you're “ready,” how to make decisions without all the answers, and why the best leaders move fast, stay coachable, and push others forward along the way. Enjoy this episode with Brendan P. Keegan… Soundbytes 18:56 - 19:48 “Our number one thing we hired was intellectual curiosity. Across the board. Period…As many skills as you think you have, you don't. Your first job, you don't know how to do 20% of it, 25% of it. But do you work hard? Are you a fast learner? Those are the things that are going to matter, you know. When you lose, are you coachable? In entry-level positions, I'm 100% attributes, nothing on skills or experience.” 11:48 - 12:35 “Can I just ask you a question? What did I do to get put in the penalty box? Why?” He goes, “What do you mean?” I said, “I got this other thing up and running. It was going great. I was killing it, and you moved me over here.” He goes, “Because it was broken.” And I said, “But why did you do that to me?” To which he replies, “You're great at fixing things.” I didn't see that when I looked in the mirror, but that mentor telling me, “You're great at fixing things. Brendan, you take your technology engineering mind and you think, what's the problem? So many people just jump in and start fixing things without thinking about the process. You're really good at fixing things. I challenge you to spend the rest of your career not in a given industry, but focused on fixing and transforming things.” 42:33 - 43:03 “Have the courage to fail and the faith to succeed. Have the courage to say, ‘I'm going to go try out for that team, and I might not make it, and that's okay.' But then–have the faith: ‘I am going to show up in the best shape of every single person trying out for that team. I might not have the best basketball skills, but I'm going to be the best-conditioned athlete. I'm going to be so conditioned that the coach takes me and thinks he can teach me basketball.'” Quotes “Have the courage to fail. Be willing to do things you don't think you can do, but also have the faith that you're going to succeed.” “Go take the mic. Go be the one in front.” “​​If you don't have a mentor, you're short-changing your career. You will not go as far in your career. Mentors help you. They enlighten you.” Links mentioned in this episode: From Our Guest Website: https://brendanpkeegan.com/  Connect with Brendan Keegan on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/brendanpkeegan/ Connect with brandiD Download our free guide to learn 16 crucial website updates that attract more leads and convert visitors into clients: https://thebrandid.com/website-tweaks/ Ready to elevate your digital presence with a powerful brand or website?

Here's an uncomfortable or even painful experience many people are having right now. Losing a friendship over differing political views or fundamental values. It hurts…but what if it's also a window into something deeper? In today's cultural climate, the divide between people often goes far beyond a simple disagreement or differing opinions. It can reveal a far deeper truth: when values clash, friendships can break. But what does that rupture reveal about how we relate, how we build trust, and how we stay open in moments that hurt? Most of us are taught to manage difficult emotions by defending ourselves or retreating from discomfort. But those very emotions, the anger, sadness, and disappointment, can be an invitation to connect more honestly. Do we avoid the messy middle and settle for predictability? Or do we choose curiosity, get in the pool, and learn to swim, again and again? In this episode, we talk about the micro-moves that make or break our relationships. We explore how trust is built not through agreement, but through presence, tossing the metaphorical ball, and choosing openness in the face of rejection.   Things You'll Learn In This Episode  -The art of the toss There are two options in relationships: meet each other with presence, or let the ball drop. Why is the metaphor of tossing and catching the heartbeat of every real relationship? -Reconnecting and recommitting  Why are people so quick to discard people when there's a disagreement instead of working through it? -Curiosity over control What happens when we stop predicting and start wondering? How do we replace defensiveness with genuine curiosity? -The end of performative friendship How do you know when someone's no longer “in the pool” with you? And what does it mean to choose integrity over rescuing a relationship that won't meet you halfway?     About Your Hosts Katie Hendricks, Ph.D., BC-DMT, is a pioneer in body intelligence and conscious loving with over 40 years of experience.

If you've ever felt anxious, overwhelmed, or like you're stuck in patterns you can't explain—this episode is for you. You're not broken. You're not failing. You're simply disconnected from the truth of who you really are.In this deeply moving conversation, Dr. Dan Siegel—world-renowned psychiatrist, neuroscientist, and bestselling author—joins Raj to reveal the science of reconnection. Together, they uncover how trauma, culture, and outdated ideas of the "self" have fractured our inner world—and how we can reclaim wholeness, purpose, and power.This isn't just about mental health.

Your words are powerful enough to make a point and to build people up. But, in a world full of noise, what if our greatest superpower isn’t volume, but grace and curiosity? This Sunday, we’re talking about how knowing the way we speak can change our relationships, but knowing the way people listen to us can change our lives. Maybe the apostle Paul, Ted Lasso, and Jesus have more in common than we expected.

Todd Kashdan is an intellectual idol of mine. He has a PhD in clinical psychology, is the founder of the Well-Being Lab at George Mason University, and a leading educator to the public. He's written books on curiosity, negative emotions, and the art of insubordination. His writings alone have influenced the trajectory of my life and career.In this episode, we explore the underpinnings of curiosity, how to manage social anxiety, and the reason relationships fail (and why that's okay).

Joining us this week is a master of observation – an author, journalist and documentarian whose work has delved into the furthest margins of modern life. From conspiracy theorists to the inner world of psychopaths, his stories always keep one foot in the world of misfits and outsiders. It's the brilliant Jon Ronson!In this episode, Jon reflects on his remarkable journey from a bullied teen in Cardiff to one of the most distinctive non-fiction storytellers of our time. He shares how a squatting stint in London and a chance role in the Frank Sidebottom band helped him find his tribe, and how a single regretful sentence written in his twenties changed his entire approach to journalism.Jon also reflects on how being fired from a local Manchester radio station became a painful but pivotal moment that reshaped both his career path and creative outlook. He goes on to explore how his work has evolved alongside the shifting media landscape – from his early days at Smash Hits, to creating the acclaimed BBC podcast Things Fell Apart – and shares why he remains optimistic about the future of factual storytelling, even in the age of AI.Tickets for Psychopath Night, Jon's latest live UK tour, are available now. You can also catch up on both series of Things Fell Apart on BBC Sounds.For all the latest news, click here to follow us on Instagram!***Please take the time to rate and review us on Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your pods.

“One reason why it can feel so hard to listen to your body is because it is not normalized to move in a variety of ways that you would want to. There are certain ways of moving that are allowed or socially accepted but others are very rare to see. Therefore, it makes a lot of sense that we don't know what our body wants or can't listen to it because we always shut it down.” - David BantjeIn this episode, I'm joined by natural movement practitioner, and my loving partner, David Bantje. In this episode, he offers a refreshing, intuitive reframe on how we can shift our relationship to movement for a more liberated , and playful life. Rather than treating movement as a chore, isolated workout, or something we only do in designated spaces, David invites us to see movement as a birthright—something our bodies crave and have evolved to do in diverse, dynamic ways. He discusses how mainstream exercise culture, with its narrow focus and rigid intensity, can leave us disconnected from the deeper intelligence of our bodies. Instead, natural movement emphasizes accessibility, variety, injury prevention, and playfulness, allowing us to reconnect and reclaim our capacity for taking risks, curiosity, and aliveness. This isn't about perfection or discipline, but about attunement: giving our bodies the space to lead.In this episode we discuss:How chronic pain and injuries "stack up" from habitual postures and sedentary lifestylesWhat natural movement is, and how it helps realign us with what our bodies evolved to doThe limits of conventional fitness culture and why high-intensity, short bursts of exercise can do more harm than goodThe power of movement snacks—simple, frequent movements throughout the day—to support flexibility, awareness, and healingMovement as medicine in the context of illness, disability, and injury (including David's experience with a herniated disc)Relearning how to listen to your body, even when it doesn't communicate in languageWhy reclaiming natural movement can be a path not only to health—but to joy, agency, and freedomBioLinksDavid's Substack: https://davidbantje.substack.com/Katie Bowman: https://www.nutritiousmovement.com/Natural Movement Classes: https://movnat.com/Resources:Get the book: ⁠⁠⁠Mad Studies Reader: Interdisciplinary Innovations in Mental Health⁠⁠Become a member: ⁠⁠The Institute for the Development of Human Arts⁠⁠Train with us: ⁠⁠Transformative Mental Health Core Curriculum⁠Sessions & Information about the host: ⁠⁠⁠JazmineRussell.com⁠⁠⁠Disclaimer: The DEPTH Work Podcast is for educational and entertainment purposes only.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YxIPNXF6Kxc From Feb 20, 2018. All Hail Curiosity! Consider the fact that right now, there's an SUV-sized rover crawling around the surface of Mars, zapping rocks with its laser, scooping and sampling material, and generally giving us the best view we've ever seen from the surface of the Red Planet.   NASA's Curiosity Rover has been on the surface of Mars since 2012, following the story of water. When did it first show up on Mars, and was it there long enough to support the biology of life?   In its 5 years and counting of exploration, Curiosity has pushed our understanding of the Red Planet forward, and paved the way for the next generation of gigantic, nuclear powered rovers headed to Mars to search for life itself.   Sign up to my weekly email newsletter: https://www.universetoday.com/newsletter Support us at: https://www.patreon.com/cw/universetoday More stories at: http://www.universetoday.com/ Follow us on Twitter: @universetoday   We've added a new way to donate to 365 Days of Astronomy to support editing, hosting, and production costs.  Just visit: https://www.patreon.com/365DaysOfAstronomy and donate as much as you can!

Charting Your Course: A Business Navigation System That Aligns Strategy, Intuition & Purpose In this episode, we dive deep with Tim Dwyer, a visionary who has spent over three decades developing a true "Google Maps for business"—a navigation system that integrates logical strategy, heart-centered leadership, and deep intuition. Tim's entrepreneurial spark ignited at age 12 during a petrol strike in Australia, selling coffee to stranded drivers. That ingenuity evolved into a career dedicated to helping leaders and organizations find their true north in complex business environments. Emotional Intelligence: The Leadership Edge We Can't Ignore Tim and I explore how tapping into our emotional intelligence is not just a personal growth strategy—it's essential for leadership effectiveness. When decisions flow from inner alignment, clarity and momentum follow. When there's chaos? That's your signpost that something's off. Tim shares his emotional mapping system, while I add insight on how untrained managers often default to poor leadership patterns due to lack of emotional grounding and practical guidance. Emotional Ownership: The Cornerstone of Healthy Work Cultures We take an honest look at the drama that unfolds when leaders deflect emotional responsibility. Tim breaks down how full ownership of our emotional responses dismantles blame and invites maturity into the workplace. I couldn't agree more—teams thrive when leaders stop pointing fingers and start showing up with accountability and self-awareness. Foresight in Leadership: Seeing the Iceberg Before You Hit It I share a recent conversation with an organization considering a bold move they may not be ready for—an all-too-common scenario. Using an oceanic analogy, I explain why leaders must develop foresight to navigate risk and avoid future burnout. It's not about playing it safe—it's about making sure your ship is seaworthy before you launch into deeper waters. Capability Development: Growing Beyond Your Comfort Zone Tim outlines the predictable stages of business growth and the leadership capacity needed at each level. Whether you're leading a team of 10 or scaling to 1,000, the same principles apply: sharpen your skills, solidify your culture, and develop internal navigational systems that support sustainable growth. And yes, this applies whether your team is made up of employees, freelancers, or AI tools—culture and capability remain your anchors. Curiosity, Reflection & Purpose: A Blueprint for Leadership Renewal We talk about the often-overlooked power of self-reflection. I encourage listeners—whether you're on the front lines or in the C-suite—to step back, get curious, and revisit past experiences with grace, not judgment. The goal? To realign with your purpose and reignite your leadership impact. Distraction is the disease—curiosity is the cure. Authentic Culture: More Than Ping-Pong Tables and Mission Statements Tim shares a powerful case study of a software company that had great perks but lacked true cultural alignment. Once the leadership reconnected with their original vision and re-established meaningful cultural agreements, collaboration and energy returned. The result? A culture that magnetized both top talent and ideal customers. As I often say—culture isn't what you write on the wall, it's how your people feel every day they walk through the door. Tim's Upcoming Book: A Must-Read for Every Leader Navigating Change We wrap with a preview of Tim's upcoming book, launching August 2025. Packed with stories, case studies, and actionable strategies, this book is designed for businesses of every size—from startups to scaling giants. You can pre-order your copy now at tolemy.com.

In this transformative episode of the Stuck In My Mind Podcast, host Wize El Jefe and co-host Craig Andrews welcome Peter Teuscher, an international entrepreneur, senior corporate executive, transformational coach, and passionate advocate for soulful leadership. Across a deeply engaging conversation, Peter shares the twists and lessons of his journey from building businesses in Canada to coaching executives and leading workshops around the globe. Purpose, Happiness, and Leadership in the Modern World Right from the start, Peter unpacks the single biggest lesson drawn from his years in corporate and entrepreneurial environments: the indispensable role of purpose in work and life. He shares candid reflections about how a sense of meaning—knowing your “why”—is more fundamental than any promotion or paycheck. Peter drives home the point that true fulfillment stems not just from external success, but from the alignment between daily work and deeper values. In a world obsessed with positive change, Peter urges listeners to look inward, saying positive change is best measured by your sense of fulfillment and the value you bring to others, rather than just meeting surface-level goals. Through relatable anecdotes and stories from his global travels, he reveals how cultural differences impact leadership—contrasting Asia's hierarchical structures with North America's flatter, entrepreneurial approaches—and what it truly takes to build trust and earn respect as a leader in any environment. Curiosity, Resilience, and Reinvention Curiosity, according to Peter, has been a driving force at every stage of his journey. He recounts the leap of faith it took to leave a thriving Canadian business and embrace new challenges in Europe's corporate world—underscoring that real growth often demands stepping into discomfort and uncertainty. One of the most relatable segments comes when Peter and Craig explore the “myth of the slimy salesperson.” Drawing from decades of sales experience, Peter dismantles the outdated view that sales is about persuasion or manipulation. Modern selling, he insists, is rooted in service: “How can I add value? How can I be of help?” This mindset shift is essential not only for sales pros, but for coaches, content creators, and anyone learning to value their unique contributions in business. Confidence and “knowing your worth” are recurring themes, especially for new entrepreneurs struggling to price their services or articulate their value. Peter shares his early struggles with setting rates and how underpricing or giving work away for free diminished client commitment. Ultimately, he reveals, people won't value what you don't value yourself. Balancing Strategy with Intuition When the discussion turns to coaching leaders, Peter dives deep into the art of balancing rigorous strategy with a healthy dose of intuition. He explains that strategic models are merely guidelines—adaptability, presence, and gut instinct matter just as much, especially in unfamiliar or rapidly changing contexts. Peter encourages leaders to cultivate self-awareness, listen for feedback, and not become rigidly attached to any particular plan. Unlearning Corporate Habits: The Coach's Mindset Among the most striking insights is Peter's account of transitioning from corporate leadership, where giving answers is often the expectation, to coaching, where the art lies in asking the right questions. The shift from “solving problems” for others to empowering them to find their own answers is at the heart of his approach, and one of the main reasons he believes in the transformational power of good coaching. On Failure, Vulnerability, and Growth Both Peter and Wize share honest accounts of professional and personal “failures”—or as they reframe them, crucial learning moments. From significant business losses in Canada to questioning his own purpose later in life, Peter emphasizes that it's not the setbacks themselves, but the bounce-back and lessons learned, that shape who we become. He even describes hosting “failure nights,” encouraging leaders to openly discuss mistakes in order to build resilience and foster innovation. Vulnerability, according to Peter, doesn't undermine authority—it establishes trust. He outlines how admitting mistakes, showing your human side, and being authentic at work are key to building respect and inspiring others, far more than projecting invulnerability ever could. The Power of Personal Practice Listeners are also treated to Peter's personal daily practices—especially his quarter-century commitment to meditation and grounding morning rituals. These, he says, keep him connected to his purpose and ensure he approaches each day with clarity and intention. Defining Success and a Message for Future Changemakers Success, for Peter, is not defined by material achievements, but by continual growth and happiness. He leaves the audience with a resonant piece of advice: before trying to lift up others, first develop your own potential and sense of fulfillment. Only then can you truly inspire and help those around you. Episode Highlights: The critical importance of knowing your “why” How cultural differences shape leadership and trust Redefining sales from persuasion to service and value How to price yourself confidently as a coach, consultant, or creator The skill sets and mindset shifts needed to thrive in entrepreneurship vs. corporate life Vulnerability as an essential leadership quality Why authentic communication and deep listening are hallmarks of great leaders The transformative role of meditation and self-awareness practices About the Guest Peter Teuscher is a sought-after coach, facilitator, and the author of “Rethinking Happiness.” He works with leaders and teams worldwide, helping them overcome self-imposed barriers and step into more impactful, purpose-driven roles.

I think of choosing to be curious as acting on the idea that there is opportunity in the unknown -- a very optimistic enterprise. Kevin Kelly, a man of many passions and pursuits, is a self-described radical optimist. So, what's to be found at the intersection of curiosity and choosing to be optimistic? We explore how radical (and not utopian) this approach is; our moral obligation to create opportunity; embracing an abundance mindset; "lighthouse" parenting; being curious about the things we're not interested in; just how persuasive curiosity can be; and why we're all so very dependent on one another -- in a good way!

In this episode of Mornings with Monette, I'm talking about shifting from a certainty mindset to a curious one, all through a Christian perspective. With spring here, I'm reflecting on some personal moments-birthdays, family visits, and five years of podcasting-and using that as a backdrop to explore how the way we think affects our lives.We'll look at the difference between holding on tightly to certainty, which can keep us stuck and afraid of change, versus embracing curiosity, which opens us up to growth and God's plan. Using examples from the Bible, like the Israelites in the wilderness and Jesus' questions, I'll encourage you to check your thinking, move past fear, and practice curiosity through prayer, wonder, and community.This episode is practical and rooted in scripture, with a clear call to trade prideful certainty for humble, faith-filled curiosity. If you're ready to stop fearing the unknown and start trusting God's surprises, this is for you.
