In this episode of Just the Guys, the hosts — joined by a new guest, Kevin — tackle the important and nuanced topic of anger, meltdowns, and their impact on relationships. Drawing from their own neurodiverse experiences and relationships, they explore whether “meltdown” and “anger” are interchangeable, and how these emotional states affect not only the individual but everyone around them. They discuss how to recognize the line between frustration and a full meltdown, using vivid metaphors like pilots ignoring warnings, or weightlifters knowing their limits. The group reflects on the critical role of recognizing when you can still listen to reason versus when you've spiraled beyond control — and the consequences of both states. The conversation highlights how meltdowns are not always loud or angry; they can also manifest as emotional shutdowns. Regardless of form, every reaction has an impact on spouses, children, and the relational climate. The guys discuss the helplessness, fear, and even trauma that partners can feel in the wake of repeated meltdowns, and how chronic incidents can lead to hopelessness in relationships. Importantly, they emphasize the necessity of repair and introspection. Repair involves accountability, understanding the harm caused, listening to feedback without defensiveness, and working to prevent future incidents. They remind listeners that repairing trust is a team effort — built on grace, openness, and hard work — and that even if meltdowns stem from autistic traits, the behavior and its consequences still require ownership and restoration. The episode closes with a reminder that meltdowns and their impacts cannot simply be brushed aside — they must be acknowledged and addressed, because every action has an impact.

Go to www.LearningLeader.com for full show notes This is brought to you by Insight Global. If you need to hire 1 person, hire a team of people, or transform your business through Talent or Technical Services, Insight Global's team of 30,000 people around the world have the hustle and grit to deliver. Sukhinder Singh Cassidy is the CEO of Xero. Xero is a cloud-based accounting software designed for small businesses. They did $2.1 billion in revenue last year. Over the past 25 years, Sukhinder has had leadership roles at Google, Amazon, and StubHub. Notes: Key Learnings Strategic CEO Job Search Criteria – Sukhinder had four non-negotiables: macro tailwinds/good market, customer she could be passionate about, strong business model, and a role where she could "learn for miles" for 5-8 years. Only two companies met her criteria in 18 months of searching. "Sell, Interview, Sell" Hiring Process – First meeting is 50% selling the opportunity to attract top talent. Only after candidates lean in do you shift to intensive interviewing with leadership team exposure. The Virtuous Cycle Framework – Customer at the top, supported by "high purpose, high performance, high people" culture. "It's an 'and,' not an 'or'" - you don't get to choose just one element. Back-Channeling is Critical – Reference checking happens throughout the entire interview process, not just at the end. "The most important thing is not just front channel... it's all the back channel." Values Alignment Over Pure Qualifications – "Go where my values fit and my strengths are valued." Cultural fit becomes the deciding factor in close hiring calls, not competence. The Layoff Leadership Test – Six weeks after joining, Sukhinder laid off 900 people based on McKinsey benchmarking. Showed consistency between the outside-in analysis presented to the board and transparent communication to employees. Portfolio of Bets Strategy – Balance growth, profitability, and customer happiness through diversified initiatives ranging from "safe moves" to "flyers," with clear probability assessments. Consistency as Culture Foundation – "Culture means consistency of message and what's important." Authenticity through change, not resistance to change. The 10-Slide CEO Interview Deck Framework: Vision statement (destination in 2-3 years) Outside-in market analysis Competitive landscape SWOT analysis of current position Five key strategic moves Implementation approach ("the how") Estimated outcomes with probability ranges Practical Application: Job Search Strategy – Define 4-5 non-negotiable criteria upfront. Be willing to wait for roles that truly meet your standards rather than taking "the job before the job." Interview Preparation – Always build a comprehensive thesis deck even if not requested. Use it to clarify your own thinking and demonstrate strategic capability. Hiring Excellence – Spend equal time selling the opportunity and evaluating candidates. Use diverse interview panels and back-channel extensively throughout the process. Cultural Leadership – Be consistent in messaging across all stakeholders (board, investors, employees). Authenticity enables trust during periods of change. Strategic Planning – Frame initiatives as a portfolio of bets with clear probability assessments. Balance growth, profitability, and customer satisfaction rather than optimizing for one. Leadership Hiring Process: The CEO interviews top 2-3 levels even without hiring authority Diverse interviewer panels with "bar raisers" Business problem-solving presentations in the final rounds Multiple leadership team interactions before the final decision Life Lessons: Patience in Career Progression – Sometimes the right opportunity requires waiting. Sukhinder was frustrated during 18 months of searching but found the perfect fit. Preparation Separates Candidates – The depth of strategic thinking demonstrated in final presentations often determines CEO selections. Culture Survives Through Consistency – Not avoiding change, but maintaining consistent values and communication approach through inevitable changes. Leadership Requires Tough Decisions – Laying off 900 people six weeks into the role, but doing it transparently and based on clear data/analysis. Value Creation Through Alignment – Finding roles where your strengths are valued and values align creates exponentially better outcomes than pure skill matching. Systems Thinking Builds Trust – Sharing appropriate "behind the scenes" context helps teams understand difficult decisions and builds long-term credibility. Early Career Focus – "Do great work for great people." Find talented leaders to apprentice under and work exceptionally hard to maximize learning. Authenticity Enables Performance – Being genuine about challenges and changes builds stronger relationships than trying to maintain artificial stability. Strategic Communication – Frame personal asks in terms of organizational benefits. Make it about solving their problems, not your desires. The Xero Transformation: Financial Performance: $2.1B revenue, 21% YoY growth while maintaining profitability Cultural Approach: "High purpose, high performance, high people" - no choosing between them Strategic Moves: Pricing/packaging optimization, sales motion transformation, customer experience reimagining (new dashboard with 3000+ customer inputs) Leadership Philosophy: Provide a "systems view" to employees, share investor-level insights appropriately, and maintain authenticity during difficult decisions

Un problema, tante possibili soluzioni. La cassa malati, o meglio come pagare i premi della cassa malati, rappresenta secondo diverse inchieste la prima preoccupazione per le famiglie ticinesi. Premi che ogni settembre aumentano, sono raddoppiati negli ultimi vent'anni, con una vera esplosione nell'ultimo triennio. E con ogni probabilità lo faranno anche quest'anno. La politica quindi si interroga e prova ad arginare questi aumenti. Ora, nello specifico, ci sono due proposte concrete sul tavolo e su cui il popolo dovrà esprimersi il prossimo 28 settembre. Oggi discutiamo di una delle due, quella targata Partito Socialista e che chiede che il premio della cassa malati non superi il 10% del reddito disponibile di un'economia domestica.   Ospiti in studio Danilo Forini, granconsigliere PS, favorevole Alessandra Gianella, granconsigliera PLR, contrariaundefined

Together, they explore what it means to live out a true partnership in the gospel within the church and beyond.

A new report by the New South Wales Nurses and Midwives Association has revealed the alarming rates of racism and discrimination experienced by Aboriginal and culturally diverse healthcare workers.

The report highlights how racism is affecting the health and well-being of both staff and patients.

What happens when every member of your team thinks, works, and communicates differently? Do you see chaos—or do you see opportunity? In this episode of Leveraging Thought Leadership, Peter Winick sits down with Stephanie Chung, bestselling author of "Leading People Who Are Not Like You" and a pioneering executive in the aviation industry. Stephanie challenges leaders to move beyond surface-level diversity and embrace the reality that every team is built on differences—in age, gender, culture, abilities, experiences, and thinking styles. Her thought leadership reframes leadership for today's workplace. This isn't about DEI checkboxes. It's about ROI. Leaders who know how to harness diverse perspectives build stronger, more innovative, and more resilient organizations. Stephanie introduces her ALLY framework—Ask, Listen, Learn, and then act—to help leaders cut through the noise and lead with both head and heart. She points out that too many leaders default to “safe teams” where everyone looks different but thinks the same. Safe teams don't innovate. They underperform. Great leadership requires stepping into the challenge of managing complexity and difference. Stephanie's work equips executives with the tools and mindset to do just that. Stephanie also highlights the real business case. Diverse teams deliver better outcomes, but only when leaders develop the skill—and courage—to engage differences instead of ignoring them. Her book and keynotes are sparking a movement that's helping organizations move past fear of mistakes and into a more open, adaptive, and human style of leadership. If you lead people—and especially if they're not like you—this conversation will challenge your assumptions and expand your playbook for growth. Three Key Takeaways: • Safe teams underperform — When everyone thinks alike, innovation stalls. Real growth comes from embracing differences, not avoiding them. • Leadership is about ROI, not DEI checklists — Diverse teams deliver stronger results, but only if leaders know how to harness and manage those differences. • The ALLY framework matters — Ask, Listen, Learn, and then act. This simple model helps leaders navigate generational, cultural, and communication gaps effectively. If Stephanie's episode got you thinking about the challenges—and opportunities—of leading people who aren't like you, then you'll want to dive deeper with Lily Zheng's episode on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Deconstructed. Both conversations cut through the noise and focus on what really drives results: leaders who can embrace differences, move beyond surface-level DEI checklists, and create teams that thrive. Where Stephanie gives you the ALLY framework to navigate everyday leadership dynamics, Lily brings a data-driven lens to diagnose what's working and what isn't inside organizations. Listen to both, and you'll walk away with a sharper playbook for leading diverse teams, boosting innovation, and turning inclusion into real ROI.

Can you learn to love Christians who are NOT like you? That's the questin put to Ananias when God told him to go lay hands on Paul of Tarsus, so that Paul could regain his sight. That's the question put to Peter when he had that vision of a sheet filled with unclean animals. Will you enter the home of Cornelius (a Gentile AND the captain of the Italian reigment), break bread with him, and BAPTIZE him when you see that he is filled with the Holy Spirit? The call to the American church today is, in part, a call to love each other in such a way that the rest of the country asks, "How in the world can these people love each other like that?"

In this dynamic episode of the Business of Aesthetics podcast, host Omer leads a discussion with three distinct experts, Ang, Naren, and Nico, to unpack the complexities of multigenerational skincare. This conversation provides a holistic framework for aesthetic practices aiming to serve a diverse patient base, from Gen Alpha to Baby Boomers, with intention and precision. The episode moves from the internal to the external, starting with Ang's insights on how skin concerns are deeply connected to gut health and hormonal shifts unique to each life stage. Naren then provides a masterclass on digital strategy, revealing how different generations search for treatments online and how clinics can tailor their SEO and website content to build trust and drive conversions. Finally, Nico bridges the gap with a deep dive into the biology of aging, explaining the critical role of hormones and advocating for regenerative treatments like Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) to ensure long-term skin health. This is an essential listen for any practitioner or clinic owner looking to create personalized, effective patient journeys for every age group.

VIOLENT BIRTHRIGHT:    5/8 The Indispensables: The Diverse Soldier-Mariners Who Shaped the Country, Formed the Navy, and Rowed Washington Across the Delaware by  Patrick K. O'Donnell  (Author) https://www.amazon.com/Indispensables-Marbleheads-Soldier-Mariners-Washington-Delaware/dp/0802156894 On the stormy night of August 29, 1776, the Continental Army faced capture or annihilation after losing the Battle of Brooklyn. The British had trapped George Washington's forces against the East River, and the fate of the Revolution rested upon the shoulders of the soldier-mariners from Marblehead, Massachusetts. Serving side by side in one of the country's first diverse units, they pulled off an “American Dunkirk” and saved the army by transporting it across the treacherous waters of the river to Manhattan. In the annals of the American Revolution, no group played a more consequential role than the Marbleheaders. At the right time in the right place, they repeatedly altered the course of events, and their story shines new light on our understanding of the Revolution. As acclaimed historian Patrick K. O'Donnell dramatically recounts, beginning nearly a decade before the war started, and in the midst of a raging virus that divided the town politically, Marbleheaders such as Elbridge Gerry and Azor Orne spearheaded the break with Britain and shaped the nascent United States by playing a crucial role governing, building alliances, seizing British ships, forging critical supply lines, and establishing the origins of the US Navy.

The fact there is a growing backlash to immigration in communities around the world is well established. What is less discussed are the solutions to address decline in social cohesion and rise in mistrust, misinformation, and prejudice. Meaningful contact between different groups can reduce tensions.

Tropp, a professor at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, has spent decades studying how members of diverse groups experience contact with each other. In this episode, she and Natalia Banulescu-Bogdan, Deputy Director of MPI's International Program, discuss contact theory and the triggers that can make such relationships succeed or fail.

In this episode of Just the Guys, Dan interviews Michael Cusick—licensed counselor, ordained minister, and founder of Restoring the Soul—to discuss the deeper spiritual and emotional roots of sexual addiction, particularly pornography, as explored in his book Surfing for God.Michael vulnerably shares his own journey from trauma, addiction, and shame to healing and restoration. He explains that many Christian approaches to pornography are often split between moralism (“just stop it”) and clinical models (treating it as a disease). His book offers a different lens: one that views compulsive sexual behavior as rooted in legitimate God-given desires that have been disordered by trauma, unmet attachment needs, and relational wounds.Key insights include:• “Listen to your lust” – Our compulsions are tells, pointing to deeper longings for connection, affirmation, and healing.• Addiction is not just a behavior, but often a false god, offering counterfeit comfort for past wounds.• Shame is physiological and often misunderstood in Christian circles. True healing comes not from hiding, but from secure, grace-filled relationships with God and others.• Michael emphasizes the four S's of attachment (Seen, Soothed, Safe, Secure) as crucial for emotional and spiritual healing.• He reframes God's posture in Genesis 3, inviting listeners to imagine a version of God that says, “Come closer” rather than condemning God as a loving Father, not a punisher.• The path forward isn't perfect behavior, but direction and healing. Relapse may be part of the journey, but growth happens when men risk being known and pursue secure attachments.Listeners are encouraged to shift from behavior management to healing through connection—first with others, then with God.⸻Resources Mentioned:• Surfing for God by Michael Cusick (Book, Audio, Kindle)• Sacred Attachment (new book by Cusick)• Restoring the Soul ministry: restoringthesoul.com• Restoring the Soul Men's Weekend: restoringthesoulweekend.com• Podcasts: Restoring the Soul and The Place We Find Ourselves (Adam Young)• Influences: Dallas Willard, G.K.
