Chad Hyams and Bob Stewart dive into the complexities of ego, discussing its impact on self-esteem and self-importance. Drawing insights from Ryan Holiday's book, "Ego is the Enemy," they explore the balance between passion and purpose, using examples like renowned coach John Wooden and NBA stars Shaquille O'Neal and Kobe Bryant. Highlighting the importance of continuous learning and maintaining humility, the hosts share personal stories and strategies for keeping ego in check. They also emphasize the benefits of focusing on others and the pitfalls of pride, especially in the age of social media. ---------- Connect with the hosts: • Ben Kinney: https://www.BenKinney.com/ • Bob Stewart: https://www.linkedin.com/in/activebob • Chad Hyams: https://ChadHyams.com/ • Book one of our co-hosts for your next event: https://WinMakeGive.com/speakers/ More ways to connect: • Join our Facebook group at www.facebook.com/groups/winmakegive • Sign up for our weekly newsletter: https://WinMakeGive.com/sign-up • Explore the Win Make Give Podcast Network: https://WinMakeGive.com/ Part of the Win Make Give Podcast Network
The clothes we inherit, covet, purchase, borrow, wear, store, destroy, or give away are intricately woven into our ideas about who we are and how we relate to others and the world around us. Clothes are things that can console us or trouble us. They can be objects buoyant with cherished memories and self-affirming associations—or weighed down with loss, disappointment, or other difficult feelings. Sometimes, they can be both at once.Dressays (Bloomsbury Visual Arts, 2026) is a new collection of essays about dress just out with Bloomsbury. Edited by the feminist media scholar Dr Rosie Findlay, Senior Lecturer in Media at City, University of London, it's a rich and idiosyncratic book that carefully attends to everyday practices of dress as they connect to emotion, memory, imagination, and experience.Diverse in its approach to dress—including clothing as well as jewellery, wigs, prosthetics, and other garments that we wear close to the skin—Dressays also brings together an array of writing styles and voices. These beautifully written essays bridge the personal and the theoretical as they seek to find language to express the complicated meanings we invest (or discover) in our clothes.For the New Books Network, Rosie chats with Alix Beeston—one clothes-lover to another—about her approach to dress, the practicalities of crafting an anthology of new and existing works, the realities of obsessive, tenacious research practices (which may or may not be slightly “unhinged”!), and the value of scholarship as a form of collective dialogue that invites readers along to the party.Passionate and insightful at each turn, Rosie also offers some courageous and moving reflections about the influence on her life and work of her mum Sarah, who died shortly before Dressays was published and to whom it's dedicated with love. Dressays emerges as a powerful testament to Sarah's—and Rosie's—ability to bring together people as well as they do outfits. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Read OnlineDisciples of Diverse BackgroundsJesus journeyed from one town and village to another, preaching and proclaiming the good news of the Kingdom of God. Accompanying him were the Twelve and some women who had been cured of evil spirits and infirmities, Mary, called Magdalene, from whom seven demons had gone out, Joanna, the wife of Herod's steward Chuza, Susanna, and many others who provided for them out of their resources. Luke 8:1–3Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Susanna, and “many others” faithfully accompanied Jesus and the Twelve. This diverse group of disciples defied conventional expectations. They were not the kind of followers one might ordinarily assemble when launching a mission destined to reach the ends of the earth. Yet God's wisdom is not like our own. He perceives greatness not in social status, talent, or wealth, but in the sincerity, purity, and potential of each heart.The inclusion of women among Jesus' traveling companions is striking within the cultural framework of first-century Judaism. He not only welcomed them into His company but also entrusted them with meaningful participation in His mission. In doing so, He affirmed their dignity and revealed the universal scope of His call.Even more surprising is that some of these women came from questionable or afflicted pasts. Mary Magdalene is named first: “from whom seven demons had gone out.” The number seven signifies completeness, suggesting a full and profound liberation—perhaps from both moral disorder and physical torment. Her healing reveals the immense power of divine mercy. Once bound by darkness, she became a devoted disciple, eventually standing at the foot of the Cross and witnessing the glory of the Resurrection. Her life exemplifies how gratitude for mercy can blossom into unwavering love and enduring fidelity.Joanna, the wife of Chuza, Herod's steward, also deserves attention. Her association with Herod's court—a place marked by corruption—shows that the Gospel can penetrate even into environments of great moral disorder. Susanna and the many other unnamed women round out this community, highlighting a growing circle of female disciples drawn by the love and truth of Christ.These women provided for Jesus and the Twelve “out of their resources.” Their generosity was not only material, it was spiritual. Their stewardship played a vital role in sustaining the mission of Christ. By offering what they had, they became instruments of grace, foreshadowing the ongoing collaboration in the Church between lay and ordained, men and women, rich and poor.This early fellowship of followers models the Church in every age. They came from all walks of life: some devout, others formerly sinful; some wealthy, others of humble means; both men and women; people of high and low estate. Yet they were united in a single purpose: to follow Jesus and serve the Kingdom of God with all that they were.Reflect today on this unexpected company Jesus formed. Many people struggle with a sense of unworthiness or feel inadequate in their spiritual lives. If you have ever felt this way, take heart in the diverse group Christ called. Their varied and imperfect backgrounds reveal the deep and consoling truth that no one is beyond being called by God. Each of us, no matter our past or present, is invited to walk with Him, to offer what we have, and to participate fully in His redemptive mission. Accept this invitation. Join this holy company. And give yourself wholeheartedly to the proclamation of the Kingdom of God. Most merciful Lord, You always look beyond the sin to see the sinner, offering Your boundless mercy to all who turn to You in repentance. Please continue to call me to participate in Your divine mission of building Your Kingdom here on earth, so that I and all whom You touch through me may share in the eternal joy of Your Heavenly Kingdom.

A strong listing franchise for Sukuk and Islamic funds remains central to the UK and Ireland's Islamic markets offering, but is not the only route to Shariah-compliant financing. We examine how structured real-asset finance, private credit, securitisation, infrastructure and transition-finance vehicles, and digital platforms can complement listings and broaden market relevance. We also explore the growing role of SROI in assessing impact, and ask how innovation and regulatory clarity can support a more flexible, liquid and diversified ecosystem.Moderator:Nitish Bhojnagarwala, Executive Director, Financial Institutions Group, Moody's RatingsPanelists:Dr Arshadur Rahman, Senior Manager, Bank of EnglandDr Mohamed Damak, Managing Director and Global Head of Islamic Finance, S&P Global RatingsNeil McCarroll, Partner, Mourant LawShabnam Mokhtar, Managing Director, SHAPE Knowledge Services

In this live episode, Bryan sits down with Jim Bergmann of measureQuick and NAVAC trainers Zane and Jesse Stewart for a deep, technician-focused conversation about advanced refrigerant recovery. The group covers diverse system types and environments, including low-ambient recovery. Recovery machines cannot pump straight liquid, which we need to be mindful of during service. That said, vapor-only recovery works fine for small charges, but push-pull recovery becomes worthwhile once a system holds more than roughly ten pounds of refrigerant. Refrigerant and tank contamination, as well as general safety (including tank fill limitations), are a couple of other field challenges worth considering in our recovery best practices. Some best practices to take away from this episode include attaching to the vapor side of the tank (and inverting it), pulling Schrader cores, using large hoses instead of manifold gauges, and keeping the recovery tank cool to eliminate restrictions. This episode contains embedded sponsor messages from Refrigeration Technologies, Carrier, Copeland, Santa Fe Dehumidifiers, and TruTech Tools.

Welcome to Art is Awesome, the show where we talk with an artist or art worker with a connection to the San Francisco Bay Area. About Artist Amy Trachtenberg:Amy Trachtenberg is a multidisciplinary artist whose work includes painting, collage, sculpture, installation, poetry and public projects. Diverse in their scale and material sources, hybrid paintings and objects exist between fiction and abstraction. By bringing what exists in the world into the work, awareness is aroused by the qualities of color, tactility, and an appetite for examining the remains of material culture. Structures woven together are built on memory and forgetfulness with relationships between architecture, the body and everyday objects.Visit Amy's Website: AmyTrachtenberg.comFollow Amy on Instagram: @AmyClaireTFor more on Amy's Exhibit "Abstract Objects of Devotion" CLICK HERE--About Podcast Host Emily Wilson:Emily a writer in San Francisco, with work in outlets including Hyperallergic, Artforum, 48 Hills, the Daily Beast, California Magazine, Latino USA, and Women's Media Center.

In this episode of Booksmart, hosts Sunny Adcock and Allie Daisy King take on the current romantic fiction boom and share which new love stories you should be reading.Print sales of romantic fiction have reached an all-time high worldwide, but the genre (and its many sub-genres) isn't just outselling mystery or sci-fi; it's expanding the market with its more inclusive and diverse stories.These "light-hearted" stories challenge how audiences see themselves and the world around them, while putting protagonists often ignored in the literary world at the centre of the narrative. But what happens when the film and television industry, which continues to capitalise on built-in audiences by adapting popular books rather than investing in original stories, appears to have zero interest in maintaining that diversity in its casting decisions, even when it's a foundational part of the source material?Warning: this episode features discussion of overused book tropes, whitewashed musical theatre productions, and calls back to the days of dark Harry Styles fan fiction.

How can engineers create spaces where people feel comfortable bringing their whole selves to class and work? In this episode, Emma Craig, FY27 lead of the SWE LGBTQ+ and Allies Affinity Group, and Mikayla Moody, FY27 lead-elect of the SWE LGBTQ+ and Allies Affinity Group, share how their experiences as engineers in the LGBTQ+ community have shaped their paths through academia and industry. Mikayla explains how feeling like an outsider in STEM shapes their teaching style now as a professor — including the simple steps they take at the start of each semester to help students feel a sense of belonging. Emma reflects on how finding supportive communities in college and graduate school, including in Greek Life, gave her the confidence to grow as an engineer, advocate, and leader. In conversation with Karen Horting, executive director and CEO of the Society of Women Engineers (SWE), they share practical advice for becoming a better ally to the LGBTQ+ community, including why asking questions, listening carefully, and being willing to learn from mistakes can matter more than getting everything right.

Videoland en HBO Max worden voortaan in één streamingbundel aangeboden, waarmee je met één abonnement toegang krijgt tot beide platforms. Dat maakten de moederbedrijven RTL en Warner Bros vandaag bekend. De bundel begint bij tien euro per maand. Daarnaast kwam gisteren aan het licht dat concurrenten Netflix en Talpa gaan samenwerken, waardoor bekende SBS6 en Veronica programma's naar Netflix komen. Joe van Burik vertelt erover in deze Tech Update. De bedrijven zetten Videoland neer als het beste aanbod van Nederlandse bodem en HBO Max als het beste internationale aanbod. Afhankelijk van de gekozen bundel betaal je minimaal tien euro per maand. Dat is bij de goedkoopste combinatie minstens drie euro per maand goedkoper dan twee losse abonnementen; bij de duurste combinatie loopt de besparing op tot acht euro per maand. Per saldo betaal je nog steeds meer dan voor één dienst, maar dan krijg je ook twee platforms in plaats van één. De bundel is daarmee vooral gericht op kijkers die zowel HBO Max als Videoland willen bekijken. Netflix en Talpa gaan content delen Sinds gisteren is bekend dat ook Netflix en Talpa gaan samenwerken, waarbij Talpa content richting Netflix brengt. Diverse bekende programma's van zenders als SBS6 en Veronica komen naar Netflix, met wereldwijd 250 miljoen abonnees het grootste betaalde streamingplatform ter wereld. Zo zijn straks onder meer Chateau Meiland en Mr. Frank Visser Doet Uitspraak op de Amerikaanse streamer te zien. Netflix betaalt daarvoor een bedrag, wat betekent dat de series na verloop van jaren waarschijnlijk weer verdwijnen. Talpa heeft net als RTL een eigen streamingplatform, genaamd KIJK, maar dat wordt door kijkers minder als zodanig gezien dan Videoland of NPO Start. Netflix blijft daarnaast hongerig naar meer lokale content, naast de Nederlandse producties die het bij wet moet laten maken. HBO Max en Videoland bieden gezamenlijke streamingbundel aan met drie abonnementsopties Overzicht van de prijzen en besparingen van de nieuwe Videoland en HBO Max bundel Netflix en Talpa brengen ruim 300 afleveringen SBS6 programma's naar Netflix Talpa krijgt met Netflix een secundair distributiekanaal naast eigen platform KIJK Over de maker:Joe van Burik volgt en duidt de belangrijkste ontwikkelingen in tech, met scherpte, vlotheid en de nodige humor. Je hoort hem dagelijks op BNR Nieuwsradio over het belangrijkste technieuws, van AI tot cybersecurity en social media tot quantumcomputers. Ook interviewt hij in De Grote Tech Show samen met Ben van der Burg leiders in digitale innovatie.

It's Throwback Thursday. This week, it's a timely discussion given this week's devastating and deadly earthquake-induced landslide and flash flood on the border between Nepal and Tibet. Originally released May 18, 2008 MORE than 50,000 people are estimated to have died in the May 12 earthquake in China, many of whom still lie beneath rubble scattered across an area the size of Belgium. Elsewhere, the city of Reno, Nevada looks nervously to the northwest, where thousands of minor earthquakes have rattled the area since February 28. Scientists are puzzled by this cluster because they don't fit any known pattern. And here in the Midwestern U.S., we were startled by a M5.2 earthquake centered in southeast Illinois on April 18, the second strongest earthquake recorded in the state since the arrival of white settlers in the early 19th century. What's with all of the unusual seismic activity? And how does this relate to biblical prophecies of catastrophic global earthquakes in the end times? David W. Lowe, author of Earthquake Resurrection and Then His Voice Shook The Earth, shares his thoughts. Sharon's niece, Sarah Sachleben, is fighting stage 4 bowel cancer, and the medical bills are piling up. If you are led to help, please go to GilbertHouse.org/hopeforsarah. Follow us!

Gods Calling For A Diverse Church Pastor James Burke 1 Corinthians part 12
Evelyn Cortez-Davis, WE26 closing keynote and director of strategic initiatives for the water system at the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power, watched the film “An Inconvenient Truth” as a new mom. At that moment, she made a promise to her young daughter that she would have a “damn good answer” when asked what she did as climate change unfolded. In conversation with FY27 SWE President Kerrie Greenfelder, Evelyn shares how that commitment shaped her engineering career. As a first-generation immigrant from El Salvador, Evelyn also reflects on being an English learner and an undocumented student during her first two years at UCLA, and how learning to use her voice shaped her STEM path. Hear what it means to be the first in the room, why engineers need to stay creative as technology reshapes the world, and how stepping outside your comfort zone can open unexpected doors. Evelyn also previews her closing keynote at WE26, the world's largest conference for women and allies in engineering, taking place Nov. 5-7 in Boston.

What happens when one Medical Affairs leader is responsible for oncology, neurology, immunology, fertility, HIV, and rare disease, all at the same time? The answer is not a bigger playbook. It is an entirely different way of thinking. Host Peg Crowley sits down with Lori Lebson, Senior Vice President of Global Medical Affairs at CalVista Pharmaceuticals, to dig into one of the most underestimated challenges in the field: leading Medical Affairs strategy across a truly diverse portfolio. Lori has lived this challenge from the inside. From large pharma to biotech, she brings a rare perspective on how portfolio diversity changes everything, from scientific narrative and data generation strategy to team design, resource trade-offs, and global launch planning across the U.S., Europe, and beyond. Together, Peg and Lori explore why a lift and shift approach across therapeutic areas fails every time, and what Medical Affairs leaders must do instead. They dig into how oncology, neurology, and rare disease each demand a fundamentally different strategy, why the pace, the patient community, and the evidence generation priorities are worlds apart, and what that means for how Medical Affairs shows up at the enterprise level. They also get into the biotech reality, where diverse pipelines inside small organizations create compounding pressure, and why getting Medical Affairs to the table early is no longer optional. Running through it all is the belief that the patient is the true North Star, and that no drug has truly succeeded until it reaches the patient who needs it. If you lead across franchises, manage a diverse Medical Affairs portfolio, or are building your career and want to understand what it really takes to operate at this level, this episode is essential listening.

A client was paying $3 to $6 per click on their Meta ads with a 0.98 ROAS. Two weeks after changing how they prompt AI for ad creative, they're at a $1.05 cost per click and a 2.08 ROAS, with a break-even of 1.69. Same product, same team, completely different creative process.In this episode, Josh and Dylan break down the exact AI creative workflow Dylan built with that client in person at our mastermind, and why most AI-generated ads come out looking like everybody else's.Inside this episode:The "blah blah blah prompt" that starts the whole process (and why Dylan kept telling the client "more, give me more" until it felt asinine)Why AI is trained on generics, and how doing 10% more thinking than everyone else gets you 100% better outputThe 34 inputs that went into one prompt: 10 pieces of deep product info, 10 reasons people buy, and 14 situations they'd use it inWhy you should have Claude write the ChatGPT prompt instead of writing it yourselfThe ad education section almost every prompt is missing (Claude is not a Meta ads expert, and if you listen to this show you already know more than it does)How to use Atria to pull visual diversity from brands in industries nothing like yours, plus the exact brands Dylan starts withWhy Dylan generated nine creatives for this client and only ran sixThe one line to add at the end of every prompt that changes what the AI gives backThe ethical dilemma of AI creative, and how to run this process even if you never publish an AI-generated imageThis isn't a shortcut for skipping the work. It's the opposite. The brands pulling 2 to 3 times the creative volume and performance out of AI are the ones doing more thinking up front, not less. If your ChatGPT creatives have been coming back flat, this is the missing step.
"If you can see me, you can be me." - Elaine BantonWhat happens when a barrister who grew up on a Hackney council estate helps shape the future of equality, human rights, and AI? Elaine Banton from Doughty Street Chambers reveals why the law can no longer afford to be reactive and why fairness has to be built into systems from the start. Something that stood out most to me in this conversation was how strongly she framed the idea of “equality by design” — the belief that fairness should be built into systems, workplaces and even algorithms from the start, rather than added later after harm has already happened. We also explored how bias can be amplified by AI and why lawyers, institutions and businesses all need to understand the technology shaping decisions across health, education, employment, and justice. So why should you be listening in? You can hear Rob and Elaine discussing:- Equality Being a Systems Problem, Not a People Problem- The Biggest Fairness Failures Happening When Institutions Worship the “Ideal Worker”- Visibility Not Being Symbolic - It Changes What People Believe is Possible - Background Not Just as an Identity But a Strategic Intelligence- How AI Bias is Not a Tech Issue - It Is an Accountability Issue Connect with Elaine Banton here - https://uk.linkedin.com/in/elaine-banton

Vitalize Seed, Grandpa Ray Outdoors, Northwoods Whitetail, Real World Wildlife Products In this episode of Maximize Your Hunt, host Jon Teater discusses the importance of land management and food plot strategies with various experts. The conversation emphasizes the significance of plant diversity and species interaction in creating effective food plots that attract deer. Experts share insights on the ideal blends of plants, the role of soil health, and the benefits of diverse plantings for both deer attraction and ecological balance. The episode provides practical advice for hunters and land managers looking to optimize their hunting properties. Takeaways The best time to consult on land management is before hunting season. Plant diversity enhances food plot effectiveness and deer attraction. Different plants can complement each other biologically in food plots. Soil health is crucial for maintaining productive food plots. Diverse blends can extend the attractiveness of food plots throughout the season. Understanding plant interactions is key to successful food plot management. Annual clovers can provide benefits similar to biennials in certain conditions. Healthy soil should always have something growing to support microbial life. Diversity in food plots can help balance deer diets and improve herd health. Using the right planting techniques is essential for maximizing germination rates.

Ever wondered if your greenhouse control system is actually helping—or if it's leaving you in the dark about your energy bills? I've been there, and that's exactly what we dig into in this episode.Joining me are Neda, CEO and co-founder of Microclimates, and Gretchen, Executive Director at the Greenhouse Lighting and Systems Engineering Consortium at Cornell, whose combined expertise covers everything from cutting-edge environmental controls to energy efficiency in controlled environment agriculture. Neda has an extensive background in developing technologies that empower growers with actionable data, while Gretchen brings years of research experience with leading universities and utility-backed initiatives in optimizing greenhouse lighting and automation.This episode unpacks the real-world findings from the CalNEX Project—a first-of-its-kind scientific study focused on the impact of smart environmental monitoring and controls in California greenhouses. We compare “smart” and “smarter” systems, revealing surprising industry gaps in environmental data collection, misunderstood overhead costs, and how simple steps can lead to significant energy savings and business sustainability.Beyond the results, we chat about practical steps for adopting automation without ripping out your current systems, new open-platform sensor trends, the reality (and future) of AI in controlled ag, and why a phased, data-driven approach will be key for small and large growers alike. If you're daunted by all the talk of sensors, integration, or AI, consider this the guide to understanding what actually matters—and what you can do today.Curious if you're missing an easy win in your farm's energy management, or want a reality check on all the AI hype?

The projects Gretchen mentioned, every site had something different… Our job wasn't to go in and just say, rip everything out for this control study and start over because we want to collect the data. It was really to take a look at what do you currently have, how can we complement that with adding more environmental insight, environmental visibility to that operation, and is there a way that we can integrate what you currently have?" "I'd say the biggest surprise and biggest lesson was that they didn't have enough environmental visibility. A lot of these operations had maybe one temperature humidity sensor hanging in the middle of the room representing the entire greenhouse or a section of the greenhouse. Your control system is only as good as the information it's taking in, like the input, right?""If you don't have the thousands of data points, if you can't summarize the trends, if you can't make any recommendations and alerts, and you can't generate those reports based on the thousand data points, how is this AI going to actually get to know you?... First of all, we have to step back and say, are operators actually collecting data? We already said early on in this conversation they are, but they don't have enough environmental visibility, which means they actually are not collecting enough data."Resources MentionedWebsite - www.microclimates.comYouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@Microclimates-IncInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/microclimatesFacebook - https://www.facebook.com/microclimates.incLinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/microclimatesLinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/gschimelpfenig/Resource Innovation Institute - https://resourceinnovation.org/ Microclimates - https://microclimates.com/ Priva Control Systems - https://www.priva.com/Ritter Greenhouse Automation - https://rittergreenhouse.com/Connect With UsVFP LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/verticalfarmingpodcastVFP Twitter - https://twitter.com/VerticalFarmPodVFP Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/direct/inbox/VFP Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/VerticalFarmPodSubscribe to our newsletters!AgTech Digest - https://agtechdigest.comThe Indoor Farmer - https://www.indoorverticalfarm.com/Horti-Gen Insights - https://www.hortigeninsights.com/
Episode Summary Senior IT change and adoption consultant Janie McNeil joins host Justin Lake to talk about why new technology so often goes unused, and what it actually takes to change that. She makes the case that adoption is a people problem long before it's a technology problem: when workers aren't brought in early, tools that cost millions sit idle and the damage trickles downstream for months. Janie digs into using data to prove adoption is working, why frontline teams learn by doing and watching rather than reading dense documentation, and why change management and learning teams get the best results when they're pulled in from the start instead of the eleventh hour. She closes on AI, arguing that the way to get people to embrace it is to show them their worth, not warn them about restructuring, and she shares a simple task list anyone can use to see where AI helps and where a human is still the answer. It's a practical, empathetic look at keeping people at the center of technological change. Key Topics The operational cost of poor technology adoption Downstream effects of adoption failure Bringing change management in early Measuring adoption with data The product manager's role in system success How frontline workers actually learn Change management and L&D working together Building trust to get involved sooner Supporting AI adoption without fear Episode Chapters 00:00 Introduction to the episode and guest 00:30 Janie McNeil's background and expertise 01:02 The operational impact of failed technology adoption 01:35 The importance of early stakeholder engagement 02:00 The cost of unused tools and systems 02:47 Downstream effects of poor adoption 03:25 The prolonged impact of adoption issues 04:25 Measuring adoption through metrics and data 05:24 The role of product managers in system success 06:21 Aligning success metrics with organizational goals 07:17 The importance of user behavior and process adherence 08:00 Challenges faced by product managers 09:07 Diverse user groups and their needs 10:01 Including change management early in projects 11:12 The late involvement of change management teams 12:24 The undervaluation of change management 13:32 The power of data literacy in adoption 14:54 Using data storytelling to demonstrate value 16:04 Microsoft's investments in adoption tools 18:06 The ongoing challenge of software adoption 19:50 Supporting frontline workers through community and education 22:21 Effective learning methods for frontline teams 24:36 The strategic role of L&D and change management 26:43 Defining responsibilities of change management vs. L&D 28:45 Streamlining project delivery with integrated teams 30:56 The risks of delaying documentation and training 32:40 Building relationships and trust in change initiatives 36:50 Managing overwhelm and delegation in change projects 39:03 Supporting AI adoption and addressing fears 44:52 The importance of human value in technological change 47:02 Embracing AI as a tool for growth and development 48:38 Closing remarks and key takeaways About Janie McNeil Janie McNeil is a senior IT change and adoption consultant who helps organizations turn new technology into lasting behavior change, working at the intersection of people and the tools meant to support them.

Nick Lloyd surveys the diverse personalities of the French high command, beginning with Joseph Joffre, whose "earthiness" and calm "gravitas" were essential in absorbing the shock of the 1914 German invasion. While Joffre provided stability, the war also saw the meteoric rise and subsequent failure of Robert Nivelle, an artillery officer whose overconfidence in a "magic touch" led to the disastrous Nivelle Offensive in 1917. Following Nivelle, Philippe Pétainemerged as a "savior of France," noted for his deep connection to his troops and his refusal to sacrifice them in impossible situations. Finally, the narrative introduces Ferdinand Foch, the "Eisenhower of the first war," who possessed the energetic spirit and diplomatic skill to coordinate the multinational forces of the British, Americans, and French toward final victory in 1918. These leaders highlight the internal French struggle to reassert political primacy over military dictatorships while enduring outsized sacrifices on their own soil. (4)1914

Effective leadership requires the ability to bring together individuals with different backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives. In this blog post, Evan Alicuben, MD, of the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, reflects on a recent STS Leadership Institute session on leading diverse teams and implicit bias, where case-based discussions with peers explored practical approaches to fostering inclusion and navigating challenging workplace situations. Dr. Alicuben writes, "Only by purposefully leading will we bring success to a diverse team."
Yascha Mounk and Claude Steele discuss why diversity can produce anxiety—and how it differs from prejudice. Claude Steele is Professor Emeritus of Psychology at Stanford University. His latest book is Churn: The Absurd Abyss of Race in America. In this week's conversation, Yascha Mounk and Claude Steele discuss why diversity produces psychological tension even in the absence of explicit prejudice, whether American schools are truly as racially segregated today as they were in the 1950s, and how the fear of being stereotyped affects both minority and majority group members in integrated settings.

In this episode, host Mike Horne talks with returning guest Norm Jones, CEO of Integrated Diversity, about how organizations can move beyond surface-level diversity metrics to create truly inclusive cultures that drive performance and sustainability. Discover actionable strategies to embed DEI into core business processes and decision-making. Key Points: Organizations often misunderstand diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) and how it enhances core work. It is crucial to integrate DEI into organizational strategy rather than treating it as peripheral or separate initiatives. Focusing solely on demographic representation can hinder real inclusion and cultural shifts. Diverse perspectives have the transformative power to enhance organizational culture and innovation. Inclusion should be viewed as a journey rather than a static goal, emphasizing ongoing reflection and adaptation. Leaders can take immediate actions, such as fostering conversations about wants and needs at work, to strengthen relationships and performance.

In this episode of Risky Conversations, I interviewed my good friend and literary agent Kat Kerr about her unconventional path from Florida state government to championing marginalized voices in publishing. Kat shares how her childhood love of books, early encounters with racism, and a mid-career pivot led her into advocacy-driven literary agenting and involvement with programs like We Need Diverse Books. Together, we talk about some of our favorite Asian American authors, why representation in literature matters, the realities of the publishing industry (including agents, querying, and self-publishing), and what it really takes to take bold risks for your career, your values, and your family.You'll learn: Why diverse representation of marginalized voices is not a luxury, but foundational to empathy, identity, and genuine human connectionHow advocacy and self-advocacy are learned, practiced skills—and what mindsets make it possible to speak up when it feels riskyHow Kat's decision to speak up boldly against bigoted remarks in high school created a ripple effect that emboldened other students of color to advocate for themselvesHow traditional publishing, self-publishing, and hybrid models are different and how authors can make informed business choices that fit their goals and resourcesHow taking big, values-aligned risks (for your family, identity, and justice) reshape your career and your life, even when success isn't guaranteedWhy building or joining supportive communities—like We Need Diverse Books or identity-centered indie bookstores—matter so much for writers and readers from marginalized backgroundsFeatured: Kat's agency, Donald Maass Literary Agency: https://maassagency.com/Yu & Me Bookstore in NYC: https://yuandmebooks.com/Jamie's coaching practice https://www.JamieLeeCoach.com/Text me your thoughts on this episode!Enjoy the show?

In today's episode we're talking about Florida's state freshwater fish, the Florida bass. We will discuss why it's no longer called the largemouth bass, where they can be found, how they survive and support our freshwater ecosystems and more.

Diverse, abundant submerged aquatic plants help with water clarity. A goal of 50% submerged lake bottom coverage by native plant species is highly correlated with higher water clarity and less algae.

This week, Ivy Slater, host of Her Success Story, chats with her guest, Marja Fox. The two talk about the power of diverse backgrounds in management consulting, the realities of transitioning from corporate roles at McKinsey and Ecolab to entrepreneurship, and how Marja built her own consulting practice specializing in strategic facilitation for executive teams. In this episode, we discuss: How trial and error, plus finding a community of other entrepreneurs, helped Marja Fox learn to manage the cadence between delivery and infrastructure. What it was like for Marja to join McKinsey with a science background and how the company purposefully sought out people with alternative professional degrees to bring diverse perspectives to client problems. Why Marja believes you should recognize the value of your accrued experience, "you owe me for the years, not the hours", and how this affects pricing and self-worth as a woman leader. What strategies she uses to build a client pipeline and maintain discipline in business development, including mindset shifts from "selling" to helping former clients solve problems. How Marja discovered her "source of distinctiveness" at McKinsey, focusing on problem-solving and deep intuition about people.
