Marcy Syms became the youngest female president of a publicly traded New York Stock Exchange company when she was named to the position with her family's business in 1983. At its peak, the Syms chain of off-price, brand-name fashion stores operated 46 outlets across 16 states, generating annual sales approaching $350 million. The chain's slogan — coined by founder Sy Syms, Marcy's father — was iconic: “An educated consumer is our best customer.” While Syms was not the very first off-price fashion retailer when it opened its original store in 1959, Sy and Marcy Syms went on to define the sector and dominate it until — faced with increased competition and a soft economy — Syms filed for bankruptcy and closed its doors in 2011 after more than 50 years. Marcy shares her compelling story and the story of Syms Corporation in a new book, set for release on August 26th. The book is titled Leading with Respect: Adventures of an Off-Price Fashion Pioneer. “Respect,” as she explains on this week's podcast, is the key trait — often misunderstood — of effective leadership. Marcy is a former member of the board at Midlantic Bank and Rite Aid. She is president of the Sy Syms Foundation, which continues her family's philanthropic legacy supporting charitable, educational, and cultural organizations, including the Sy Syms School of Business at Yeshiva University. The foundation has awarded over $60 million to worthy organizations. Monday Morning Radio is hosted by the father-son duo of Dean and Maxwell Rotbart.

Higher education in the U.S. is facing a perfect storm: declining enrollments, rising skepticism about its value, and fierce competition for a shrinking pool of students. According to Gallup, confidence in higher ed has dropped sharply over the past decade—driven by concerns over cost, elitism, and relevance—though recent data shows a slight rebound tied to public perceptions of universities as engines of innovation. Against this backdrop, the battle for survival may hinge less on tradition and more on how institutions define, communicate, and live their brand.So, if higher ed is entering an era of brand warfare, what does it take for a college or university to win?On this episode of DisruptED, host Ron J. Stefanski sits down with Brandon Busteed, CEO of BrandEd, to explore whether branding has become the new curriculum for higher education. Their conversation spans the urgent need for differentiation, the role of public benefit narratives in restoring trust, and lessons from universities that have successfully reinvented themselves.Key takeaways from the episode…Differentiation is survival: Most colleges market themselves with the same language, but in a shrinking market, distinctive value propositions—like Northeastern's co-op model or Babson's focus on entrepreneurship—are critical.Language shapes perception: The terms colleges use to describe themselves—such as “liberal arts”—can be outdated or misunderstood. Reframing these in ways that highlight universal skills, career versatility, and durable learning can strengthen an institution's appeal and clarity of value.Brand is more than marketing: Successful institutions align their messaging with authentic values and deliver consistently on that promise, creating experiences that can't be replicated elsewhere.Brandon Busteed is a leading voice at the intersection of education and workforce development, with decades of experience building partnerships between universities, employers, and global brands. He currently serves as CEO of BrandEd, following senior leadership roles at Kaplan and Gallup, where he drove initiatives in learn–work innovation, higher education strategy, and public sector engagement. A seasoned entrepreneur and keynote speaker, Busteed has founded and led education-focused companies, served on national higher ed boards, and is recognized as a LinkedIn Top Voice for his insights on experiential, career-relevant learning.

The United States has undergone profound changes in President Donald Trump's second term, and these are affecting the world. America appears to be rejecting the very international system it helped create, with destabilising tariffs ushering in a new era of economic nationalism that threatens to reshape the Asian security landscape.

Join La Trobe Asia for a special event as we mark the first six months of President Trump's second term, with insights into the impact of tariffs around Asia, how alliances could shift, and the implications for both Australia and the world.

In an era where the average job tenure in the U.S. hovers under four years and industries are evolving faster than academic curricula can keep up, the need for a new approach to workforce development has never been more urgent. Companies like Amazon and McDonald's are responding by investing in “education as a benefit” programs, but the bigger challenge lies in designing learning experiences that are agile, job-relevant, and deeply integrated with workplace needs.So how do we prepare people for jobs that don't even exist yet—and how do employers and educators collaborate to build the future-ready workforce we need?Welcome to DisruptED. In the second episode of this two-part series, host Ron J. Stefanski dives deep into these questions with two powerhouse guests: Michael Horn, a leading author on education and business, and Jason Aubrey, the CEO of Skilltrade. Together, they explore the shifting dynamics between workers, employers, and educators—and why traditional workforce pipelines are falling short.Highlights from the conversation:The evolving definition of a “job”: Workers are no longer just being hired—they're hiring the job to serve their goals, and job descriptions are increasingly becoming co-created and personalized.Education as a recruitment and retention strategy: Companies like Amazon and Starbucks are leveraging education benefits to improve employee tenure and upskill workers for more complex roles.The rise of tightly coupled partnerships: Employers and educators must work hand-in-hand to build programs that align with real-time labor market needs, moving away from the outdated, arms-length models of the past.Michael Horn is a renowned education strategist and thought leader known for pioneering work in disruptive innovation and workforce development.

Workforce training is undergoing a radical transformation as industries face critical talent shortages and rapid technological change. Building a future-ready workforce requires rethinking traditional higher education models. These models emphasize broad academic development over targeted skill-building and struggle to keep pace with employer demands. According to the World Economic Forum's Future of Jobs Report 2025, roughly 59 out of every 100 workers will require reskilling or upskilling to meet evolving job demands. This shift has pushed innovative training models and community-based approaches to the forefront of workforce development.What will it take to create a workforce that is agile, future-ready, and aligned with the needs of employers in fast-changing industries? How can new models of education and skills training bridge the growing gap between job seekers and the roles that remain unfilled?In this episode of DisruptED, host Ron Stefanski speaks with Jason Aubrey, Founder and CEO at SkillTrade, and Michael Horn, a leading voice on disruptive innovation in education. Together, they explore how education and workforce training must evolve, the role of community-based initiatives, and the partnerships required to meet urgent labor demands.Key Points from the Episode:Outdated Pathways - Traditional higher education pathways are failing to produce job-ready graduates, particularly in healthcare and other high-demand sectors.Community Partnership- Employer-aligned, community-driven training programs are delivering faster and more effective results for both learners and organizations.Innovative Solutions – Apprenticeships, online active learning, and loan repayment partnerships are reshaping workforce pipelines and improving career readiness, creating a sustainable path toward a future-ready workforce.Jason Aubrey is a workforce development and EdTech leader with extensive experience scaling tech-enabled businesses and driving organizational innovation. As CEO of MedCerts, he led the company to its acquisition by Stride, Inc., expanding its impact in healthcare and IT certification training.

As K-12 schools across the U.S. struggle to recover from the learning loss and emotional fallout of the pandemic, a deeper reckoning is underway—one that challenges the very foundation of who's responsible for educating our children. Despite billions in federal relief, a third of U.S. students are not even reading at a basic level by eighth grade, and educators are increasingly pointing to a missing ingredient: meaningful community involvement.What if K-12 schools alone can't close the gap? What if true transformation requires all of us—parents, nonprofits, businesses, even churches—to step up?In this inaugural episode of DisruptED's new K-12 series, host Ron J. Stefanski and co-host Dr. Caesar Mickens Jr. make the case that building an “infrastructure of community learners” is the only sustainable way forward for American education. This conversation sets the tone for a series that won't shy away from tough questions—or complex solutions.In this episode, you'll learn:Why middle school is the make-or-break point for dropout risk—and how communities can intervene earlyHow mentorship, community programs, and youth entrepreneurship can reframe the urban education narrativeWhat it takes to build a “conspiracy of the caring” that turns potential into possibility for every childDr. Caesar Mickens Jr. is an education expert with over 25 years of experience in instructional innovation, leadership development, and community-based learning strategies.

Dave and Alicia Store, co-founders of DSNM, join the Evolve to Succeed podcast to trace their 25-year journey from a one-man, paper-based chart-correction service to an award-winning super-yacht-navigation technology company with 27 employees and 620 vessels under subscription. Dave candidly recounts the scrappy early years - dot-matrix printers, Pritt Stick, and fax machines - while Alicia explains how joining the firm (initially to cover maternity leave) professionalised its finances, people processes and long-term vision.   The couple unpack the pivotal moments that reshaped the business: realising captains would pay for a fully managed service; raising prices to signal quality; surviving the 2008 crash, COVID-19 and the Russia-Ukraine shock; and, most dramatically, self-funding and launching their proprietary software, Compass. Their complementary personalities - Dave the risk-taking visionary, Alicia the detail-driven operator - emerge as the engine behind DSNM's culture of obsessive customer service and constant product iteration.   They also share the realities of running a high-pressure, family-run company in a glamorous, yet unforgiving industry. Topics range from work-life integration with their young son Louis, to tight recruitment standards, to the pride (and responsibility) of winning two Queen's Awards and employing a close-knit team.   This episode of the Evolve to Succeed Podcast covers…   Find a pain-killer, not a vitamin. Early success came from doing the tedious chart-correction work crews hated. Price can signal value. Raising rates—rather than undercutting incumbents—attracted more super-yacht clients. Service DNA first, tech layer next. DSNM's core white-glove support never changed; software (Compass) scaled it. Complementary co-founders matter. Visionary risk (Dave) + operational diligence (Alicia) created balanced growth. Crisis = clarity. COVID and the Ukraine conflict forced the team to reassess purpose, costs and future bets. Culture of “no passengers.” Every hire must be a self-starting problem-solver; weak links show instantly in a small team. Bootstrapping builds resilience. Funding software internally preserved speed and ownership—crucial in a niche market. Work-life “blend” beats balance. Shared purpose, clear role boundaries, and intentional family time keep burnout at bay.   Chapters   00:00 Introduction to DSNM and Its Founders 06:50 The Evolution of Services and Software Development 12:04 Navigating Business Challenges and Financial Lessons 20:39 Balancing Growth with Company Culture 30:04 The Impact of COVID-19 on Business Strategy 38:18 Reflections on Success and Personal Growth 42:50 Family Dynamics and Work-Life Balance 48:53 Quickfire Questions and Final Thoughts  

Myles McCormick, US Economics Correspondent with the Financial Times, on the possibility of Donald Trump sacking the head of the United States' Federal Reserve.

As organizations race to integrate AI into every corner of business, an equally urgent conversation is emerging: How do we ensure this adoption doesn't widen existing equity gaps? AI is both a disruptive force and an opportunity engine—recent data shows that AI adoption among HR professionals jumped to 72% in 2025, up from 58% in 2024, underscoring how deeply AI is reshaping recruiting, workforce planning, and employee development.So, how can companies leverage AI while actively practicing inclusion—not just as a moral imperative, but as a competitive talent strategy?Welcome to DisruptED. In this second episode with Faith Johnson, Vice President of Global Human Resources at TEKsystems, and John Lullen, Managing Executive of Marketplace Inclusion, host Ron J Stefanski dives deeper into how AI and inclusion are transforming the talent landscape. Together, they explore how technology and human-centered workforce strategies not only coexist but amplify each other's impact.In this episode, they discuss:How TEKsystems is embedding AI tools internally to support leadership, automate tasks, and create career mobility.The role of marketplace inclusion in bridging digital divides, especially in new roles like data center technicians and prompt engineers.Why diversity in AI development is essential to mitigating bias and fostering true innovation.Faith Johnson is a seasoned HR executive with over 25 years of experience at Allegis Group and TEKsystems, where she currently leads global human resources, talent acquisition, and corporate social responsibility. Her expertise spans strategic HR leadership, employee relations, DEI initiatives, and building talent pipelines for a global tech services organization. She also actively supports workforce development through board roles with Per Scholas and the One Love Foundation.John Lullen is a workforce inclusion strategist with over 12 years of experience at TEKsystems, where he currently leads Marketplace Inclusion initiatives that support clients in achieving workforce modernization, inclusive hiring, and supplier diversity goals.

John also contributes to broader social impact efforts through advisory roles with Per Scholas, Experience Futures, and Blacks in Technology.

In today's fast-evolving digital marketplace, attention is scarce, and trust even more so. In an era of remote work, AI-driven marketing, and constant digital noise, storytelling has emerged as one of the most powerful tools to cut through the clutter. In fact, research shows that people who used storytelling techniques to remember information recalled 7 times more than those who used standard study methods—demonstrating how narrative structure significantly boosts retention and impact.So, what makes storytelling such a crucial business strategy now? And how can leaders and organizations harness it not just to sell, but to inspire, differentiate, and build lasting relationships?In this episode of DisruptED, host Ron J. Stefanski welcomes longtime colleague and friend Daniel Sieger, founder of Stories for Good, to explore why storytelling isn't just helpful anymore—it's essential. Together, they discuss how the modern communications landscape has transformed, what makes a story resonate, and how authenticity can be a competitive advantage.Key takeaways from the episode:Storytelling builds trust and breaks through noise. In a world where 56% of salespeople say their biggest challenge is getting a client's attention, a compelling personal narrative can be the difference-maker.Authenticity and passion are key. People instinctively recognize when a story feels fake. Sieger emphasizes that practiced, real storytelling creates human connection, even over Zoom.Leaders must take an “outside-in” approach. Organizations often underestimate their own impact. By listening to customer stories, companies can uncover their real value and build better narratives.Daniel Sieger is a veteran brand strategist and storytelling expert with over 30 years of experience leading communications for top companies including Toyota, McGraw-Hill Education, and Cengage. He specializes in crafting compelling brand narratives that drive engagement, leading successful rebranding efforts and launching high-impact content strategies such as Cengage Unlimited and Today's Learner. As founder of Stories for Good, Sieger now helps mission-driven organizations develop authentic, memorable storytelling across media, marketing, and leadership platforms.

My newsletter: https://simonowens.substack.com/   Jonathan Skogmo has been working with user generated content since before the term “user generated content” even existed. Back in the 2000s, he moved to Hollywood and worked for what were called “clip shows,” where viewers would physically mail in funny home videos to have them compete for cash prizes. As it turned out, Jonathan's entry into the industry coincided almost perfectly with the launch of YouTube. He was eventually able to leverage his skills to find viral clips on YouTube and license them to the media companies and brands that wanted to use them. His company Jukin Media eventually paid out over $50 million in royalties and in 2021 was acquired by the company that owns Readers Digest.   Now, Jonathan is building a new company focused on travel, and rather than growing it from scratch he's acquired several existing media brands. In a recent interview, he walked me through his acquisition strategy and explained why physical travel guidebooks still have currency in an era where influencers seem to have captured the market.  

On this episode, taken from The Ben & Marc Show, a16z co-founders Marc Andreessen and Ben Horowitz dive deep into the unfiltered story behind the founding of Andreessen Horowitz—and how they set out to reinvent venture capital itself. For the first time, Marc and Ben walk through the origins, strategy, and philosophy behind building a world-class venture capital firm designed for the future—not just the next fund. They reveal how they broke industry norms with a bold brand, a full-stack support model, and a long-term commitment to backing exceptional builders—anchored in the radical idea that founders deserved real support, not just checks. Joining them to guide the conversation is Erik Torenberg—Andreessen Horowitz's newest General Partner—who makes his Ben & Marc Show moderating debut. Erik is a technology entrepreneur, investor, and founder of the media company Turpentine.Together, they explore: - Why traditional VC needed reinvention - How a16z scaled with a platform model, not a partner model - The "barbell strategy" reshaping venture capital today - Why venture remains a human craft, even in the age of AI Timecodes: 00:00 - Intro 01:00 - Why Traditional Venture Capital Was Broken 03:05 - Marc on Discovering VC and Its Legends 05:12 - Surviving the Dot-Com Crash and Angel Investing Collapse 07:05 - Helping Founders Raise Venture / Fix VC Relationships 08:47 - The a16z Strategy: Building a Support Platform 12:07 - First Fund Wins: Skype, Instagram, Slack, Okta 12:50 - Building a 'World-Dominating Monster' 15:00 - The Sushi Boat VC Problem 18:07 - Treating LPs Differently 21:40 - Marc and Ben's Working Relationship 23:30 - Updating a16z's Media Strategy for the Social Era 27:20 - History of the Decentralized Media Environment30:36 - Decline of Corporate Brands and Going Direct 36:06 - Naming the Firm 40:13 - Building the a16z 'Cinematic Universe' of Talent 42:16 - Creating a Federated Model 51:02 - Deciding to Market the Firm 53:26 - Recruiting General Partners 56:33 - Evolution to Full-Stack Companies 01:03:53 - The Barbell Theory: The Death of Mid-Sized VCs01:11:50 - Why Venture Capital Should Stay Overfunded 01:19:50 - When a16z Knew It Could Be Top Tier 01:25:58 - Venture Capital is an Art, Not a ScienceResources:Marc on X: https://twitter.com/pmarca Marc's Substack: https://pmarca.substack.com/Ben on X: https://twitter.com/bhorowitz Erik on X: https://x.com/eriktorenberg Erik's Substack: https://eriktorenberg.substack.com/

As AI continues to reshape education, institutions face a growing challenge in ensuring students succeed without compromising engagement or integrity. Today's college students are often juggling jobs, family, and coursework, leading to limited study time and increased dropout risk. According to the National Center for Education Statistics, 40% of full-time undergraduates and 74% of part-time students were employed while enrolled in 2020, highlighting a growing challenge for student success. Most students now work while supporting themselves through school, which often reduces academic performance and increases the risk of leaving school altogether, amplifying the need for tools that promote efficient and connected learning.Can AI help students study smarter, without replacing the need to think deeply or learn independently?This episode of DisruptED, hosted by Darin Francis, features Dr. Perry Samson, Co-founder and CEO of LearningClues. He explains how this AI-powered platform helps students engage more confidently, study more efficiently, and stay connected to their learning over time. The conversation traces Dr. Samson's journey from atmospheric science professor to edtech entrepreneur and examines how LearningClues is advancing equity, personalization, and long-term student success across diverse learning environments.Highlights from the episode:Reducing Study Barriers Through AI – LearningClues helps students find specific course material fast, offering citations linked to LMS content, lecture videos, and even past courses.Supporting Belonging and Persistence – Designed with first-gen and non-traditional students in mind, the platform personalizes study feedback and tracks proficiency to improve course completion.Preventing AI Shortcuts and Cheating – A unique “coach mode” prompts reflection instead of direct answers, guiding students through problem-solving to support deeper learning.Dr. Perry Samson is an award-winning educator, entrepreneur, and technologist known for pioneering work in educational technology and atmospheric sciences.

In a workforce reshaped by automation, accelerated AI adoption, and persistent labor shortages, the demand for skilled tech talent has never been more urgent—or more difficult to meet. The traditional pipelines, namely college degrees and four-year institutions, are no longer producing enough candidates to meet the explosive growth in tech roles. With tech jobs expected to grow at twice the rate of the overall workforce in the next decade, organizations must urgently reimagine how and where they find talent.So, how do companies build a future-ready, inclusive tech workforce when the old rules no longer apply?In this episode of DisruptED, host Ron J. Stefanski sits down with Faith Johnson, Vice President of Global Human Resources at TEKsystems, and John Lullen, Managing Executive of Marketplace Inclusion, to explore the changing dynamics of talent development in the technology sector. From non-traditional training programs to responsible AI integration, this conversation delves into how TEKsystems is tackling the tech talent skills gap—and making a social impact while doing it.Key takeaways from the conversation…Alternative Pathways Are the New Normal: TEKsystems' partnership with organizations like Per Scholas helps individuals without traditional degrees train for in-demand tech roles through immersive, often short-term programs.Inclusion Is a Business Imperative: Diverse teams bring better solutions, and intentional workforce development strategies—like inclusive hiring and supplier engagement—are core to TEKsystems' mission.AI Changes Everything: With the rapid advancement of generative and agentic AI, companies must not only adopt these technologies, but also ensure employees of all ages and backgrounds are trained to use them responsibly.Faith Johnson is Vice President of Global Human Resources, Talent Acquisition, and Corporate Social Responsibility at TEKsystems, with over 25 years of experience driving strategic HR and workforce development initiatives across the Allegis Group. She leads global efforts in employee relations, recruiting, DEI, and corporate impact, aligning business growth with community engagement and talent transformation.

The labor market is evolving quickly and traditional higher education faces increasing pressure to demonstrate real-world value. According to Strada Education Network, just 63 percent of college graduates feel their education was worth the cost. With shifting learner expectations and growing employer demand for work-ready skills, universities and employers are confronting a critical question: How can higher education better align with workforce needs to support long-term learner success?That question sits at the center of this latest episode of DisruptED, hosted by Ron J. Stefanski and guest host Darin Francis, CEO and Managing Partner at Harbinger Lane. Their guest, Stephanie Tsales, Vice President of Strategic Partnerships at InStride, provided some insights on how corporate learning partnerships, nontraditional credentials, and strategic education benefits are redefining career pathways and closing long-standing gaps between academia and employment.The key topics of conversation were…The emphasis on the need to expand beyond traditional degrees by offering stackable, skills-based learning options, such as bootcamps, English language learning, and high school completion, to accommodate the diverse needs of working adult learners.Tsales described how InStride works with corporate partners to tailor learning programs to real-time business needs, using curated offerings to help workers gain competencies for emerging roles—particularly those at risk of automation.She also discussed the persistent misalignment between university leaders who believe graduates are job-ready and employers who disagree, and how InStride serves as a strategic intermediary to bring both sectors into alignment.Stephanie Tsales brings over two decades of experience as a change agent in higher education. Before joining InStride, she played a pivotal role in university partnerships at Deltak, later acquired by Wiley, where she championed online program development long before it became mainstream. At InStride, she now leads strategic partnerships that help corporations provide transformative education benefits aligned with workforce goals.

Back in 2003, when a recruiter lined up Kent Hoskins for a finance interview at Boosey & Hawkes, he came prepared to discuss guitar manufacturing. Instead, the executive immediately began quizzing him on music royalties—the recruiter had apparently misunderstood the brief. Hoskins didn't get the job—at first. But two days later, he got a call: the selected candidate had quit after just 24 hours. Hoskins stepped in.That twist marked a pivotal entry into the world of music IP—one that would shape a two-decade career. At Boosey & Hawkes, he saw firsthand how legacy operations could weigh down financial performance. “Fifty percent of revenue came from physical sheet music,” he recalls, “but it only made up 15% of EBITDA.” The company licensed out the segment, cut headcount, and reinvested in IP, increasing both margins and focus. “It stayed with me… if there's not a path to profitability from revenue, why are you doing it?”Today, as CFO of Concord, Hoskins applies the same operational lens across a $900 million IP portfolio. After joining Concord through acquisition in 2017, he became CFO in 2021. Strategic forecasting now combines AI and streaming data—insights that recently helped identify renewed demand for the Creed catalog. “We could see it from the consumption,” he tells us, which triggered targeted marketing and revenue lift.

Which is the best workout routine for you right now – total body or split routine in menopause? This episode unpacks a recent study by Brad Schoenfeld comparing results from total body or split routine in menopause.  The study did not actually address menopause. But if we know we are capable of making the same relative strength gains as males, then I'm considering this study as still relevant for us to consider in menopause.    How the study was done: Untrained males, no resistance training in the previous 6 months. Exercise consists of 16 sets per muscle group per week per both groups    Total Body Routine Trained each muscle group 4 per week (MTThF)  4 sets each: bench press cable triceps pushdown shoulder press seated row biceps curl squat  leg curl.   Split Routine Session A Mondays & Thursdays 8 sets each: bench press inclined bench press cable triceps pushdown triceps kickback shoulder press  front dumbbell raise.  Session B Tuesdays & Fridays 8 sets each: seated row lat pulldown biceps curl hammer curl squat  Leg curl.  Study Conclusion Training Volume for Strength Strength gains derived from frequency manipulation are driven by the increase in training volume. When constant, increased frequency does not seem to provide additional benefits. However, most studies suggest a resistance training frequency of 3 or fewer days per muscle group per week. A schedule of 4 days per week provides no additional strength gains relative to 2 days per week. Ideal or excessive training volume can be unique to each individual. Time The biggest challenge for most humans is Time. Disrupted or irregular schedules (MTTHF) can happen. Rest & Recovery Ideally 1-2 minutes rest between sets. Recommended 48 hours minimum to recover between use of same muscle groups.  Muscle mass and hypertrophy could be built by either, but fat loss may benefit more from total body routine - based on greater muscle protein stimulus and EPOC.    A Quick Overview on Total Body or Split Routine in Menopause Total Body Workouts Pros: More flexible with schedule. Easier to fit in and stay consistent with—especially helpful if life gets unpredictable. Higher metabolic boost. One study showed 8x more metabolic benefit from total body training than split routines. Efficient muscle protein synthesis. Stimulates multiple muscle groups at once, increasing post-exercise recovery benefits. Better for fat loss. However, recently Brad Schoenfeld showed that as long as volume is equal they can provide the same results.  Cons: Challenging to manage volume. Hard to include enough exercises for each muscle group within one session. Fatigue if overdone. Doing total body workouts too frequently (e.g., 4x/week) without proper rest can backfire. Not always optimal for specialization. Doesn't allow focused work on one muscle group (e.g., building glutes or shoulders).   Split Routine: Pros: Allows for more focused volume per muscle group. Easier to do 2+ exercises per muscle group and more sets—important in post-menopause. Can be energizing per session. Training just the upper or lower body can feel lighter and more focused. Useful for variety and advanced training. Great for incorporating more complex splits and periodization. Cons: Harder to stay consistent. If you miss a day, it's harder to make up and can throw off the weekly balance. Time-dependent. Requires more days per week and more planning—can be a challenge for busy midlife women. May lack full recovery. Without intentional spacing (e.g., Monday/Thursday vs. back-to-back days), results can suffer. Not ideal if energy is low. During menopause, fatigue can make it harder to consistently do split routines.   Total Volume if equal can both produce results in Total Body or Split Routine in Menopause   Other Episodes You Might Like: Previous Episode - Autoimmune Disease in Menopause and Changing Treatment Status Quo Next Episode - Women's Wellness Adventure Travel After 50 More Like This - Cortisol and Exercise in Menopause   Resources:  Get your lean, clean Flipping 50 Protein Powders to maintain muscle and support metabolism.
