Welcome to Botched: A D&D Podcast! Utilizing their skill, knowledge, dumb luck, and the fact they happen to have a paladin with them, the group managed to make it to the lair of Talona the goddess of disease and pestilence. Their main goal was to stop a zombie plague, and after tugging that string, they ended up with a goddess.However, they have come up with a solution where the goddess will undo the plague. All they have to do is obtain a large dragon egg from the nearby volcano. Without asking any real questions, the group sets off towards the volcano!Will the group obtain the egg? Will they run into any obstacles along the way? How are they going to get a giant egg to the middle of the ocean? What could possibly go wrong in giving the goddess of death a big dragon?

I grew up shy, introverted, and terrified of public speaking.A bookworm in Hong Kong. A wallflower who couldn't hold a room. A kid who went into investment banking because that's where smart people were supposed to go, not because it was right for me.So I walked away.Professional football. BBC radio. The Premier League. A microphone. A stage.And somewhere along the way, the worst public speaker in the room became one of the most sought-after communication coaches in the world.But here's what I'll tell you: it wasn't talent. It was never talent.It was one conversation with a stranger every single day, for years.What I discovered through football, banking, 15 years on stage, and six years coaching some of the most senior executives on the planet is this: communication is not a gift. It is a skill. And most leaders are operating at seven out of ten of their potential without even realizing it.The expertise is there. The knowledge is there. The years of experience are there.But if you can't make people feel something, none of it lands.I sat down with Nick Day, CEO of JGA Recruitment Group and host of the HR L&D Podcast, for one of the most honest and wide-ranging conversations I've had on communication, leadership, and influence.We go deep on public speaking, the art of listening, why preparation is the only thing that separates great communicators from average ones, and why in a world flooded with AI-generated content, the human touch has never been more valuable.Nick and I unpack the real reason most presentations fail, why following your passion is terrible career advice, what every great leader he's ever interviewed has in common, and the one question you should ask before you build your next deck.This is one of the most practical and honest conversations I've been part of on communication and leadership.I hope it changes the way you speak.Apply to work with me: https://www.michaelxcampion.com/Connect with me: https://www.linkedin.com/in/michaelxcampion/This episode is from the HR L&D Podcast hosted by Nick Day.Connect with Nick: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nickday/Learn more about JGA Recruitment Group: https://jgarecruitment.com/I'm a Hong Kong-born, UK-based professional speaker, executive coach, and corporate trainer with over 15 years of experience on the global stage.

I'm also a Partner and Head of Corporate Training at Quinlan and Associates, working with organizations across Hong Kong, Singapore, London, and the Middle East.My one-line thesis is simple: talent is practice in disguise.(00:00) Why Communication Is the Skill Every Leader Is Missing(01:26) Human First, Not Resource First(02:23) From Banking to Professional Football, Michael's Story(07:56) Talent Is Practice in Disguise(09:35) Curiosity Beats Chasing Passion(15:58) The Communication Gap Most HR Leaders Don't Know They Have(21:07) Preparation Is the Only Thing That Earns Confidence(23:41) The Art of Listening on Stage(40:09) AI and the Rising Value of Human Connection(44:38) Design Emotion, Not Slides
Welcome to Botched: A D&D Podcast! Having made it off of the continent of Yggep alive, the group now sails towards where a fisherman told them he first encountered the zombie plague. Not long after setting sail in their small watercraft, they discover the waters of the ocean are thick and black like the goo on the mainland. They also discover that the creatures of the ocean have also been afflicted with the zombie plague and attempt to stop them from reaching their destination. They can spot in the distance an orb of this black goo, and around it, erupting into the sea is this black goo.Will they make it to the orb before the ocean stops them? What sorts of creatures are waiting for them in the water? What tools do they have at their disposal? What exactly does a pleasure cruise entail?

This episode is sponsored by Deel.Hire, manage and pay – anyone, anywhere: https://www.deel.com/nickdayhr/In this episode of @thehrldpodcast Nick Day is joined by John Peebles, CEO of Administrate, one of the leading voices in enterprise learning operations with over 15 years of experience helping large organizations fix the hidden chaos inside their training functions. Administrate is the number one Training Management System for instructor-led and virtual instructor-led training, trusted by enterprise teams around the world to plan, schedule, and scale complex training programs.Together, Nick and John explore why L&D teams are more overwhelmed than ever despite having more tools than ever, and why the solution almost nobody is talking about has nothing to do with buying something new. The real problem, as John makes clear, is not technology. It is operations.This conversation unpacks what training chaos actually looks like behind the scenes, why the more technology L&D teams add the worse things tend to get, how the absence of a true system of record is quietly killing training effectiveness, and why 70 to 80 percent of high-value corporate training still happens in a classroom regardless of what the e-learning industry has been promising for decades.They also dig into the truth about training ROI, why up to 80 percent of the training budget is consumed by manual admin work nobody signed up for, and how fixing that frees teams to double or even triple their training throughput within a year, with downstream gains in retention and performance that most HR leaders never connect back to training operations.On AI, John delivers one of the most grounded perspectives you will hear from any operator right now, covering where LLMs genuinely add value, where they fall short, and why operational clarity remains the real competitive advantage that winning L&D teams will be built on in 2026 and beyond.A must-listen for HR leaders, L&D professionals, and anyone ready to stop letting fear make their decisions for them and start building the kind of courage that moves teams, careers, and organisations forward.Enjoyed this?

Welcome to Botched: A D&D Podcast! Lucky for the group they brought a paladin who is immune to disease! Without the threat of contracting this plague, Sir Goblin is praying…really hard…with the local priest. Meanwhile, his allies decide to study the nearby forrest before coming to find their ally.Once they're joined together again, they decide to find the first victim of this plague. If they can be cured, perhaps, they can tell them how this all started in the first place.Should they manage to find this person, they then have to find a way to escape town without being torn to pieces.What sort of praying is Sir Goblin doing? Is it just humanoids affected by this plague? How will they find the very first victim? How will they escape? How well can horses smell?

Welcome to Botched: A D&D Podcast! Now that Wingbowl is over, it's time to get back to work! A plague has broken out in the Kingdom of Yggep! The land between Alurys and Yggep has been blocked, in the hopes of keeping out this horrible disease.It's not entirely unlike a zombie outbreak, but with some added danger that goes above and beyond a zombie plague. Three new adventurers are tasked with investigating, and ultimately, stopping this disease in its tracks. They infiltrate the country and quickly find themselves split up and investigating the plague from different angles.What is this mysterious plague? Where did it come from? How can it be stopped? Why does Dennis not know the proper term is Loxodon, not Leodon? Tune in and find out!Dennis has successfully completed a Kickstarter for his 4th graphic novel in his Lycan: Solomon's Odyssey series!

This episode is sponsored by Deel.Hire, manage and pay – anyone, anywhere: https://www.deel.com/nickdayhr/In this episode of @thehrldpodcast Nick Day is joined by Bill Flynn, business growth coach, ten-time startup veteran, and best-selling author of Further, Faster and the upcoming Hero Trap. With over 30 years of experience advising hundreds of companies and leaders, Bill brings a bold and provocative perspective to one of the most overlooked problems in leadership development today: leadership centrality.Bill challenges the assumption that better leaders automatically means better organizations. Together, Nick and Bill explore why decades of leadership development investment have failed to move the needle on employee engagement, why the behaviors that make individuals successful so often become the very things that hold their organizations back, and why the real measure of great leadership is how well the organization runs without you.This conversation unpacks what the Hero Trap really is and why so many leaders fall into it without ever realizing it. Nick and Bill discuss why organizations need to move from creating followers to building members, how mission sustains what inspiration starts, and why the most dangerous single point of failure in any business is often the leader at the top. They also explore the three-stage journey from Controller to Builder to Architect, the neuroscience behind why leaders love being the hero, and why HR professionals should stop asking for a seat at the table because they are the table.In a world shaped by fragility, burnout, and over-dependence on heroic leadership, this episode delivers the mindset shifts and practical frameworks every HR and L&D professional needs in 2026, including how to design organizations that scale beyond any single leader, how to build a culture of membership over followership, and how to make yourself unnecessary in the best possible way.A must-listen for HR leaders, L&D professionals, and anyone ready to move from being the hero to becoming the architect of something that lasts.Enjoyed this?

This episode is sponsored by Deel.Hire, manage and pay – anyone, anywhere: https://www.deel.com/nickdayhr/ In this episode of @thehrldpodcast Nick Day is joined by Britain Stelly, founder of Creature Courage and one of the UK's leading experts in phobia therapy and fear transformation, featured on Good Morning Britain, Sky News, BBC Radio 2, and ITV. With over a decade of experience helping thousands of people break free from deep-rooted fears, Britain is now bringing that proven science directly into the workplace.Britain brings a rare combination of exotic animal husbandry, clinical anxiety coaching, and over a decade of live exposure therapy into the world of leadership and organisational development. Together, Nick and Britain explore why fear is the most underrated and underdiagnosed cost inside organisations today, and why the gap between a good team and a high-performing one almost always comes down to the fears nobody is talking about.This conversation unpacks what it truly means to overcome fear from the inside out. Nick and Britain discuss why avoidance never makes fear smaller, only louder, how the caveman brain is quietly sabotaging your team's decisions and conversations every single day, and why exposure therapy creates lasting transformation that no lecture, workshop, or wellbeing initiative ever could. They explore why psychological safety cannot be built on comfort alone, why the most effective leaders are the ones willing to face fear openly, and how a single shared experience of courage can transform the culture of an entire team.They also explore the neuroscience behind why you cannot think your way out of fear, why the amygdala and prefrontal cortex must be shown rather than told, and how Britain's Reject, Reframe, Replace technique gives individuals a practical tool to interrupt anxiety at the thought level. The discussion highlights why imposter syndrome is just fear wearing a professional disguise, why failure is a primitive survival instinct that modern leaders must learn to override, and how vulnerability in leadership is not a weakness but the most respected quality a leader can possess.In a world where anxiety is at an all-time high and teams are growing more disengaged, this episode examines why fear transformation may be the most important investment HR and L&D leaders can make in 2026, and how organizations that build cultures of courage will outperform those that simply manage comfort.A must-listen for HR leaders, L&D professionals, and anyone ready to stop letting fear make their decisions for them and start building the kind of courage that moves teams, careers, and organizations forward.Enjoyed this?

Philip D Keating is back on the show. With the Stanley Cup playoffs starting, he decided it was high time we fixed a Paul Newman shaped hole is Travis' movie knowledge. Slap Shot is a 1977 sports comedy about the Charleston Chiefs hockey team. They are on the verge of being folded, so veteran player coach Reggie Dunlap decides to go for broke and bring in a couple of new enforcers. The Hanson boys bring their own brand of chaos to the ice. So, is this movie deserving of the legendary status it has? Is it a classic sports comedy? Or, like some of it's dialog, should it be left in the 70s? Let's find out...Check out Phil as part of Botched: A D&D Podcast and on the upcoming show Lost Luggage with Travis, Amy Robinson and Brian IbbottThanks go out to Audie Norman (@TheAudieNorman) for the album art.

This episode is sponsored by Deel.Hire, manage and pay – anyone, anywhere: https://www.deel.com/nickdayhr/In this episode of @thehrldpodcast Nick Day is joined by Michael Campion, executive coach, corporate trainer, motivational speaker, and host of the Playing the Inner Game podcast, with over two decades of experience helping leaders, executives, and high performers communicate with clarity, confidence, and impact.Michael brings a rare combination of professional sport, investment banking, and 15 years on the global speaking circuit into the world of leadership communication. Together, Nick and Michael explore why communication is the single most overlooked skill in HR and leadership development, and why the gap between a good leader and a great one almost always comes down to how well they can communicate, influence, and connect.This conversation unpacks what it truly means to master the art of communication from the inside out. Nick and Michael discuss why talent is nothing more than practice in disguise, how preparation is the real source of confidence on stage, and why the spotlight effect is quietly destroying the impact of otherwise brilliant leaders. They explore why most professionals have never received a single hour of public speaking or presentation training, and why that gap is costing organizations more than they realize.They also explore how elite communicators listen just as powerfully as they speak, why reading the room is a skill that separates good presenters from exceptional ones, and how the deepest wounds in our personal story often sit right next to our greatest strengths. The discussion highlights why most presentations fail not because of poor content but because of poor emotional design, and how shifting the question from what do I want to say to how do I want them to feel changes everything.In a world where AI is rapidly commoditizing information and content, this episode examines why human communication has never been more valuable, why effort and personalization are the ultimate costly signals in business, and how HR and L&D professionals can invest in the one skill that touches every part of their role.A must-listen for HR leaders, L&D professionals, and anyone ready to stop leaving their communication potential on the table and start showing up with the presence, preparation, and emotional intelligence their message deserves.Enjoyed this?

Hire, manage and pay – anyone, anywhere: https://www.deel.com/nickdayhr/In this episode of @thehrldpodcast Nick Day is joined by Lara Milward, neuroleadership coach, speaker, and founder, with over a decade of experience helping leaders and teams build mental stamina, emotional regulation, and high performance without burning out. Blending neuroscience, physiology, psychology, and real world leadership experience, Lara brings a rare and refreshing perspective to what it truly means to lead at your best.Lara brings a powerful athletic background and science-backed coaching methodology into the world of leadership development. Together, Nick and Lara explore why the leaders who thrive are not the ones who push hardest but the ones who understand how their brain works and train it with the same discipline, intention, and care that elite athletes give their bodies.This conversation unpacks what the Leader Shift framework really means and how six practical tools can transform mindset and behaviour in any leader at any level. Nick and Lara discuss why mental conditioning for leaders is no longer optional, how the neuroscience of threat and reward state directly impacts team performance, and why emotional regulation and self-awareness are now non-negotiable leadership skills.They also explore why the brain needs off-task time to generate its best ideas, the critical role of rest and recovery in avoiding burnout, and how physical challenge builds the same neural pathways as professional resilience. The discussion highlights the importance of the mind-body connection in leadership, the dangers of back-to-back meeting culture, and how leaders can use the SCARF model to keep their teams in a reward state and performing at their peak.In a world shaped by complexity, distraction, and burnout, this episode examines the practical leadership performance tools every HR and L&D professional needs in 2026, including how to manage energy strategically, set boundaries with confidence, and build a high-performing mindset from the inside out.A must-listen for HR leaders, L&D professionals, and anyone ready to stop surviving and start thriving in both their professional and personal lives.Enjoyed this?

Nick Day was driving his car half a mile from home.On his way to pick up his daughter. Half a second later, everything changed and his whole life turned upside down. The person who showed up after the accident was someone he didn't recognise. Nick, an extrovert with a theatre degree. Loud. Social. Full of life. He closed the curtains and didn't leave his house for months.He told himself it was out of respect. But when he got really honest, it was fear.That was the beginning.Years of struggle followed. His daughter was diagnosed with an eating disorder. His father, his hero, passed away. And through every one of those moments, fear showed up again. Different shape. Same game.What Nick discovered is this: fear isn't the enemy. It's a signal. It points directly at the things that matter most.And fear's greatest disguise? Wisdom. It's that quiet voice telling you to keep your distance. To play it safe. To play it small.That voice isn't wisdom. That's fear in a suit.Failure you can heal from. But regret lingers forever.Where are you paying “The Fear Tax” in your life?This is one of the most vulnerable and moving conversations I've ever had on this show. I hope it resonates with you the way it did with me.Apply to work with me: https://www.michaelxcampion.com/Guest - Nick Day (https://www.linkedin.com/in/nickday/)Connect with me: https://www.linkedin.com/in/michaelxcampion/Nick Day is the CEO and founder of JGA Recruitment Group, a B-Corp certified executive search firm specializing in Payroll and HR.

Together, Nick and Dr. Hamira explore why HR as a profession may be overdue for its most uncomfortable conversation yet and why facing that discomfort is the only path forward.This conversation unpacks what meta-modern HR actually means and why the profession needs a paradigm shift, why behavioural science must underpin the HR function, how metacognition and self-awareness are the skills most HR leaders are missing, why tolerating darkness and uncertainty is a prerequisite for original thinking, the case for defensive pessimism over blind optimism, what makes us uniquely human in an age of AI, and the psychological tips every HR leader needs to thrive in 2026.A must-listen for HR leaders, L&D professionals, and anyone who wants to think more boldly, lead more honestly, and show up better, even when the path forward isn't clear.Connect with Dr. Hamira Riaz: https://www.linkedin.com/in/hamirariaz-innovativehr/HRiazConsults website: www.hriazconsults.comNick Day's LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nickday/Find your ideal candidate with our job vacancy system: https://jgarecruitment.ck.page/919cf6b9eaSign up to the HR L&D Newsletter: https://jgarecruitment.ck.page/23e7b153e7Stay tuned for the next episode of the Payroll Podcast, brought to you by Nick Day, CEO at JGA Recruitment, landing soon!(00:00) Introduction and Sponsor Message(03:06) Why "Human Resources" Feels Outdated(04:46) From Neuropsychology to Corporate HR(10:38) Meta-Modern HR and Metacognition Explained(17:51) Managing Paradox and the HR Identity Crisis(23:00) Where Behavioural Science Fits In(29:33) Constructive Tension in Coaching Leaders(36:14) Defensive Pessimism vs Blind Optimism(44:08) Being the Antibody Inside Organisations(48:26) Three Psychological Tips for Thriving in 2026

Trust and Inspire is the leadership model redefining how great leaders unlock the best in their people — so why are so many organisations still stuck in command and control?This episode is sponsored by Deel. Hire, manage and pay – anyone, anywhere: https://www.deel.com/nickdayhr/In this episode of @thehrldpodcast Nick Day is joined by Stephen M.R. Covey, bestselling author of The Speed of Trust and Trust and Inspire, and former President and CEO of the Covey Leadership Center, to explore why the old model of leadership has reached its expiration date and what it takes to build the kind of high trust culture that attracts, retains and inspires the best people.Drawing on decades of research and work with organisations across 55 countries, Stephen breaks down why trust is a learnable skill and not a personality trait, what it actually looks like to extend trust in remote and hybrid teams without losing control, and how leaders can move from merely motivating people to truly inspiring them.This conversation explores how inspired employees outperform engaged ones by 56%, why the shift from command and control to trust and inspire is the most important leadership move of our time, and what Warren Buffett, Satya Nadella and Eric Yuan all have in common as leaders.A must listen for HR leaders, people managers, L&D professionals, and anyone responsible for building culture and developing leadership capability inside their organisation.Enjoyed this?

This episode is sponsored by Deel – hire, manage, and pay anyone, anywhere: https://www.deel.com/nickdayhr/AI is transforming the workplace faster than most organizations can adapt. But according to Annabelle Vultee, CEO of GoodHabitz, the real competitive advantage in the AI era isn't technology. It's human skills.In this conversation with Nick Day on the HR L&D Podcast, Annabelle explains why the global workforce is facing a growing skills crisis and why traditional training programs are no longer enough. As AI lowers the barrier to entry for technical work, capabilities like curiosity, adaptability, critical thinking, and communication are becoming the skills that truly set people apart.Annabelle shares why learning must move beyond one-off training sessions and become a continuous habit inside organizations. She also explores how AI is democratizing access to technology, why leaders should approach it with opportunity rather than fear, and what companies must do now to build future-ready teams in a world where skills are evolving faster than ever.Nick Day's LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nickday/Find your ideal candidate with our job vacancy system: https://jgarecruitment.ck.page/919cf6b9eaSign up to the HR L&D Newsletter - https://jgarecruitment.ck.page/23e7b153e7Enjoyed this?

Welcome to Botched: A D&D Podcast! The group, in their infinite wisdom, decided the best way to enter a room was to kick a door in. The door wasn't locked or anything like that, but they just couldn't help themselves.

Luckily for them, a newfound ally is held within a cage and joins the group.Will they find the children? Will they survive this dragon? What's the best way to sneak into a room with a really loud door? What's the oldest child in a room of children sound like? Tune in and find out!We now have a PO Box! Wanna send us something?

This episode is sponsored by Deel – hire, manage, and pay anyone, anywhere: https://www.deel.com/nickdayhr/Suicide is the leading cause of death for people under 35, yet most workplaces are not prepared to recognise or respond to a suicidal crisis.In this episode of the HR L&D Podcast, I speak with Jessi Beyer, a mental health professional, former SWAT crisis negotiator, international speaker, author, and creator of the L.I.F.E.™ Model — a proven approach that helps organisations build crisis-ready teams, improve culture, and reduce risk and liability.Jessi introduces her L.I.F.E. Framework, a practical model that equips HR professionals and managers with the skills to listen, ask directly about suicide, and respond with confidence before a crisis escalates. We explore why traditional workplace mental health approaches often fall short and how organisations can build crisis-ready cultures rooted in courageous listening.This conversation is not about turning HR into therapists. It is about leadership, awareness, and human connection. If you work in HR, L&D, or people management, this episode could fundamentally change how you approach mental health and suicide prevention in your organisation.Please share this episode with your colleagues. It could help save a life.Connect with Jessi: https://jessibeyerinternational.com/consultNick Day's LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nickday/Find your ideal candidate with our job vacancy system: https://jgarecruitment.ck.page/919cf6b9eaSign up to the HR L&D Newsletter - https://jgarecruitment.ck.page/23e7b153e7Enjoyed this?

In this episode of Lead-Lag Live, I sit down with John Love, President and CEO of USCF, to break down why commodities are re-emerging as a critical part of portfolios as markets face inflation uncertainty, geopolitical risk, and supply fragility.From a historic spike in natural gas driven by extreme weather to renewed risk premiums in oil, gold, and silver, John explains how commodity markets are being reshaped by geopolitics, tariffs, and structural supply dynamics and why broad exposure alone may not be enough.In this episode:– Why natural gas markets proved more fragile than expected– How weather shocks and infrastructure strain drive outsized moves– Why oil continues to carry an elevated geopolitical risk premium– What's fueling record highs in gold and explosive moves in silver– How investors can think about targeted commodity exposure versus broad indexesLead-Lag Live brings you inside conversations with the financial thinkers who shape markets.

In this episode of Lead-Lag Live, I sit down with Ted Oakley, Founder of Oxbow Advisors, to break down why inflation remains sticky, why investors should be skeptical of Federal Reserve guidance, and where real value may be emerging beneath the surface of today's market.With more than four decades of experience advising high-net-worth investors, Ted explains why mega-cap stocks now represent concentration risk, why energy is one of the cheapest areas in the market, and how separating base capital from investment capital helps investors survive volatile cycles.In this episode:– Why Ted says the Fed is consistently late and unreliable– What the latest CPI and PPI data reveal about persistent inflation– Why mega-cap stocks may carry more risk than reward– How energy offers income and value in an uncertain macro backdrop– Why separating base capital from risk capital matters in downturnsLead-Lag Live brings you inside conversations with the financial thinkers who shape markets.

In this episode of Lead-Lag Live, I sit down with Seth Cogswell, Managing Partner at Running Oak Capital, to break down why today's market feels increasingly speculative and why disciplined investing is being left behind.From meme-style factor leadership and zombie-company outperformance to extreme concentration and AI spending risk, Cogswell explains why chasing returns tends to end the same way and how investors can position for when the cycle turns.In this episode:– Why the last eight months looked like a speculative outlier– How high volatility and low quality leadership distorts portfolios– How AI spending can flip from narrative to accountability– Where discipline fits when clients still want growth exposureLead-Lag Live brings you inside conversations with the financial thinkers who shape markets.

In this episode of Lead-Lag Live, I sit down with Alex Shahidi, Managing Partner and Co-Chief Investment Officer at Evoke Advisors, to break down why markets heading into 2026 are forcing investors to rethink diversification, risk, and portfolio construction.With inflation remaining sticky, political uncertainty rising, and stocks and bonds often moving together during inflation shocks, Alex explains why the traditional 60/40 framework falls short and what true diversification actually looks like in an environment defined by wide-ranging macro outcomes.Throughout the conversation, we discuss how his work around balanced asset allocation and risk parity has evolved from theory into practice, including the thinking behind the RPAR ETFs available at RPAR Risk Parity ETF. , the broader research and conversations he hosts each week on Insightful Investor , and how this framework is implemented in real client portfolios at Evoke Advisors . Alex also shares perspectives he's written about through his Forbes Finance Council contributions and the ideas explored more deeply in his book: Risk Parity: How to Invest for All Market Environments and Balanced Asset Allocation: How to Profit in Any Economic Climate.In this episode:– Why inflation uncertainty changes how diversification actually works– How stocks and bonds can fail at the same time during inflation shocks– What investors misunderstand about risk parity and balance– Why assets like commodities and gold need meaningful weight to matter– How to think about portfolio construction when outcomes are highly uncertainLead-Lag Live brings you inside conversations with the financial thinkers who shape markets.
