Mentoring and coaching, two words often used interchangeably, yet they shape workplace culture in profoundly different ways.

To dive into this layered conversation, I'm joined by Lindiwe Davis, Google's Culture Coach and a podcaster who's spent years guiding leaders and teams to build inclusive, thriving workplace cultures.

SUMMARY In this conversation, the hosts discuss the intersection of politics and training in martial arts, emphasizing the importance of maintaining a supportive community while navigating personal beliefs. They explore the impact of social media on discussions, the value of diverse perspectives, and the significance of relationships over being right. The conversation highlights the responsibility of martial arts instructors to create a welcoming environment for all students, regardless of their political views, and the importance of kindness and understanding in fostering personal growth. TAKEAWAYS Politics should not interfere with training environments. Building relationships is more important than being right. Diverse perspectives enhance personal growth. Social media influences how we discuss sensitive topics. Creating a supportive community is essential in martial arts. Intentions behind conversations matter more than the topics discussed. Kindness should be prioritized in all interactions. Understanding different viewpoints can lead to better communication. Martial arts training can help individuals become better versions of themselves. It's crucial to focus on the 80% of common ground rather than the 20% of differences.

"Question everything."Today, I welcome Anjali Rao, a yoga teacher and author, to discuss her journey into yoga, the cultural and historical contexts of yoga, and the themes of gender and caste within the practice. We delve into the representation of women and gender-expansive folks in yoga history, the impact of caste on yoga practices, and the importance of diverse perspectives in understanding yoga's role in modern society. Anjali emphasizes the need for curiosity, critical thinking, and the ability to hold paradoxes in our understanding of yoga and its teachings.Key moments from our talk; ➖ Caste and patriarchy significantly impact modern yoga practices.➖ Yoga is often misrepresented as a monolithic practice.➖ Diverse perspectives are essential for understanding yoga's complexities.➖ Curiosity and questioning are vital for personal growth.➖ Yoga can serve as a tool for resistance against societal norms.➖ The importance of community and dialogue in yoga practice.Find her new book, Yoga As Embodied Resistance: A Feminist Lens in Caste, Gender And Sacred Resilience in Yoga History, and join her upcoming reading circle HEREAnjali on IG HEREI really enjoyed receiving more contextual history and thought-provoking research presented by Anjali, and mostly her passion for sharing knowledge. I know you will take away something to contemplate in your positionality in the yoga world, as well as in your personal relationship with the broad and diverse teachings of yoga. in oneness, Bobbi Thanks for listening!

In today's episode of Zen and the Art of Real Estate Investing, Jonathan welcomes Mike Zlotnik, a real estate fund manager and the CEO of TF Management Group, who is widely known in the real estate investing community as “Big Mike.” With over two decades of experience in finance, technology, and real estate, Mike offers a clear and structured approach to helping investors understand how to diversify their portfolios, manage risk, and build long-term wealth through funds and syndications. Jonathan and Mike begin by discussing the fundamentals of how funds differ from single syndications and why investors might choose one vehicle over the other. Mike explains how funds offer built-in diversification across asset classes and geographies, while syndications allow investors to be more selective with specific deals. He emphasizes the importance of understanding an operator's track record, the alignment of incentives, and the mechanics of preferred returns when evaluating any investment. The conversation moves into the role of debt, interest rate cycles, and how professional managers mitigate risks in uncertain economic environments. Mike provides real-world examples of how funds structure distributions, manage cash flow, and use conservative underwriting to protect investors' capital. He also emphasizes the importance of tax efficiency, particularly in relation to depreciation and its impact on an investor's overall returns. For listeners looking to grow their real estate portfolios, Mike highlights the strategic advantage of investing through funds that allow participation in multiple projects at once. He also explains how smaller investors can still access institutional-quality deals by leveraging fund structures managed by experienced operators. Throughout the episode, Jonathan pushes Mike to translate technical details into actionable takeaways that any investor can apply, making this conversation both approachable and highly informative. By the end of this discussion, listeners will come away with a stronger understanding of how to evaluate funds and syndications, the critical role of trust and alignment with operators, and the importance of long-term strategy in real estate investing. In this episode, you will hear: Diversification through funds versus deal-by-deal syndication The importance of operator track record and investor alignment How preferred returns and profit splits are structured Managing debt and interest rate cycles in uncertain markets Tax efficiency and the role of depreciation in returns Why funds give smaller investors access to larger opportunities The value of conservative underwriting and capital protection Follow and Review: We'd love for you to follow us if you haven't yet.

Artificial intelligence is changing everything.How we work, how we make decisions, and how we connect with one another. But as powerful as AI is, it also carries the risk of reinforcing the very inequities many of us have spent years trying to dismantle.Inclusion in AI isn't just a technical issue — it's a human one. As we continue to integrate AI into everyday life — from hiring and lending to healthcare and education — we must ensure these systems reflect the full diversity of the people they serve.The Problem with Biased DataAI systems are only as good as the data we feed them. When that data is incomplete or biased, the results can be harmful.A facial recognition system trained primarily on lighter skin tones struggles to identify darker ones.A healthcare algorithm trained on white patients misdiagnoses patients of color.These aren't “what if” scenarios — they're real-world examples of what happens when inclusion isn't built in from the start.Bias in AI happens when development teams lack diversity, when datasets don't represent real populations, and when ethical concerns are treated as add-ons instead of fundamentals.Valuing Diversity in AI DevelopmentInclusion starts with who's at the table.When teams are diverse across race, gender, culture, and lived experience, they bring perspectives that identify blind spots others might miss.This isn't just about fairness — it's about better outcomes. Diverse teams design more adaptive, ethical, and market-ready tools.Organizations must embed values, equity, and accountability into their AI strategies — not as PR afterthoughts but as guiding principles. A truly inclusive culture listens to those most impacted, prioritizes accessibility, and makes ethical conversations part of how innovation happens.Empowering Communities to Lead SolutionsCommunities know their own needs best. When we empower them with the tools and data to solve problems, solutions become more sustainable and relevant.In AI, this means involving communities in design, not just testing.When farmers use AI to predict droughts based on local data — or healthcare systems integrate community health data into diagnostics — the outcomes are more accurate, fair, and impactful.Consumers also play a role by being conscious of how our data is used and advocating for transparency and fairness. Inclusion in AI is a collective effort — not just a corporate one.Inclusive Culture = Responsible AIResponsible AI starts with culture. Psychological safety within organizations allows people to raise concerns about bias or harm without fear. That's how innovation and accountability grow together.True AI governance requires more than just engineers — it needs ethicists, sociologists, and community voices. Responsible AI isn't just about algorithms; it's about aligning technology with human values like fairness, trust, and equity.Inclusion Drives Business SuccessLet's be clear — inclusion isn't just a moral imperative. It's a strategic advantage.Inclusive organizations make better decisions, innovate faster, and attract top talent. In AI and data science, diversity of thought leads to better products and fewer ethical pitfalls.When technical and non-technical teams collaborate effectively, they build tools that serve broader audiences and strengthen brand trust — the foundation for sustainable growth.The Power of Community ConnectionAt the heart of all innovation is connection.AI may be powered by data, but its impact is deeply human. Strong communities — within organizations and across sectors — are what make inclusive, ethical technology possible.When people feel connected, supported, and valued, they bring the creativity and courage needed to build tools that reflect the world we want, not just the one we have.Community isn't just about belonging; it's about resilience — aligning purpose with progress.Final ThoughtInclusion in AI is not optional — it's essential.It's how we ensure technology serves humanity, not the other way around.By valuing diversity, empowering communities, and building inclusive cultures, we can create AI systems that are ethical, responsible, and reflective of the best of who we are.Innovation and inclusion must move forward together.What's your take?Have you seen examples — good or bad — of how AI is impacting inclusion in your industry?

7. The Indispensables at Trenton: Crossing the Ice-Filled Delaware River Author: Patrick O'Donnell Book Title: The Indispensables: The Diverse Soldier Mariners Who Shaped the Country, Formed the Navy, and Rowed Washington across the Delaware On Christmas night 1776, Washington ordered his 2,400 men to cross the ice-filled Delaware River to attack Trenton. This "mission impossible" was only achieved due to the skill of the Marbleheaders in handling the Durham and flat-bottom boats, as all other attempts to cross the river that night failed. Their unique expertise, developed while fishing the Grand Banks, allowed them to manage the difficult currents and ice flows. The regiment was a diverse, unified team, including free men of color such as Caesar Gloverand Oliver Cromwell. After crossing in the nor'easter, the troops—many lacking shoes—marched toward Trenton. Glover's regiment was in the vanguard, marching down the river road. They secured the crucial Assunpink Creek bridge, ensuring the captured Hessians under Johann Rall had no means of retreat, leading to a decisive double envelopment victory. Days later, during the Second Battle of Trenton at Assunpink Creek, the remaining Marbleheaders held the bridge against repeated assaults by elite British grenadiers, allowing Washington to execute a feint and escape north toward Princeton. 8. The Legacy and Sacrifice of the Marbleheaders: From Bankruptcy to Monument Author: Patrick O'Donnell Book Title: The Indispensables: The Diverse Soldier Mariners Who Shaped the Country, Formed the Navy, and Rowed Washington across the Delaware Following the Trenton campaign, many Marbleheaders, exhausted and with enlistments expired, returned home, including John Glover, whose wife was ill. Marblehead suffered immense devastation post-war; the prosperous town went "bust," the industry declined, and many leading men went bankrupt. The sacrifice was tragic, resulting in nearly 400 widows by the war's end, with many bodies lost at sea. Washington eventually entreated Glover to return, promoting him to general, and Glover continued fighting until 1782. Today, the Marbleheaders' story is visible through remaining historic landmarks: John Glover's house has a plaque, the Jeremiah Lee mansion serves as part of the Marblehead Museum, and notable figures are buried in Old Burial Hill. In Trenton, a statue of Marbleheader John Russell is displayed, holding an oar to symbolize the famous Delaware crossing. Henry Knox paid tribute to the regiment, stating he wished Congress had seen the men of Marblehead alone stand forward to lead the army across the perilous river to achieve the victory at Trenton.
2. The Seizure of Black Powder: Lexington, Concord, and the First Shots of the Revolution Author: Patrick O'Donnell Book Title: The Indispensables: The Diverse Soldier Mariners Who Shaped the Country, Formed the Navy, and Rowed Washington across the Delaware Black powder was the most crucial resource for the nascent revolution, as it did not exist in the colonies, making guns useless without it. The British actively sought to seize all gunpowder in New England. The Marbleheaders, utilizing their established supply lines, brought in the bulk of the powder and arms the British were trying to confiscate. A key early action occurred on December 14, 1774, during the raid on Fort William and Mary, which was a main powder source for the British. Led by John Sullivan and John Langdon, the raiders—tipped off by Marblehead intelligence—stormed the fort and seized the powder and cannon; the few shots fired here are considered the "first shots" of the American Revolution. Following this, in April 1775, the British marched toward Lexington and Concord. Marblehead leaders, including Elbridge Gerry, were meeting nearby and fled into a cornfield, fearing arrest. The returning British column faced thousands of angry militiamen, including the Marbleheaders, who fought them during their retreat along the Battle Road. This included a deadly stand at Menotomy (Arlington), where many patriots were slaughtered.
4. Washington's Ad Hoc Navy and the Formation of the Commander-in-Chief's Guard Author: Patrick O'Donnell Book Title: The Indispensables: The Diverse Soldier Mariners Who Shaped the Country, Formed the Navy, and Rowed Washington across the Delaware Upon George Washington's arrival in July 1775, the Continental Army suffered a critical shortage of black powder, forcing Washington to seek urgent supply solutions. He developed a unique trust with the Marbleheaders, whose nautical expertise he relied upon. Washington bypassed Congress to create his own Navy—a fleet of "cruisers" (including the Leeand the Warren) manned by Marblehead sailors, essentially perfect marines. Their primary goal was to intercept British transports laden with ordnance and powder. Captain John Manley, a Marbleheader, achieved a critical success, capturing one of the war's richest prizes—a ship filled with supplies that included a massive mortar used later at Dorchester Heights. Washington's Navy operated primarily out of Beverly, Massachusetts, a heavily defended, difficult-to-navigate, protected port. Additionally, Washington formed the Commander-in-Chief's Guard, or Lifeguard, which was an early precursor to the Secret Service, tasked with protecting the general and his papers. This handpicked volunteer unit was placed under the command of Marbleheader Caleb Gibbs.
3. Treason, Spies, and Political Violence: The Revolution as a Raging Civil War Author: Patrick O'Donnell Book Title: The Indispensables: The Diverse Soldier Mariners Who Shaped the Country, Formed the Navy, and Rowed Washington across the Delaware The Revolutionary War was characterized as a "raging civil war" where loyalists and patriots lived together, leading to intense political violence. Individuals were targeted based on perceived loyalties, a form of "cancel culture." Dr. Nathaniel Bond, a virus specialist, faced death threats and had his house surrounded by a mob after he treated wounded British soldiers following Lexington and Concord, simply following his Hippocratic oath. He was eventually exonerated after demanding a court martial. Internal betrayal was severe, exemplified by Dr. Benjamin Church, a medical doctor and influential leader who appeared to be an ardent patriot. Church, who was deep in debt, was actually General Gage's greatest spy. He sat on all major Massachusetts provincial committees, funneling crucial Patriot intelligence to Gage, informing the British general exactly where munitions were stored. Church communicated in cipher code and was known as a charming gambler and ladies' man who even faked his own involvement in battle by sprinkling blood on his stockings.
5. Battling the Smallpox Pandemic: Dr. Bond and Washington's Strategic Inoculation Author: Patrick O'Donnell Book Title: The Indispensables: The Diverse Soldier Mariners Who Shaped the Country, Formed the Navy, and Rowed Washington across the Delaware The Revolutionary War unfolded under the shadow of a smallpox pandemic. The virus devastated Marblehead after being brought in by fishing ships. Initial quarantine efforts failed, but Dr. Nathaniel Bond promoted inoculation. This dangerous 18th-century technique involved intentionally introducing a small amount of the virus into the body to create antibodies. Patriot efforts to establish an inoculation hospital on remote Cat Island were met with political violence when Loyalists organized a mob to storm the jail and torch the hospital while people were still inside. Later, following the Trenton and Princeton campaigns, the virus became a catastrophic threat, infecting and killing nearly 20% of Washington's army. Recognizing that the virus could destroy his fighting capability, Washington made the strategic decision to order Dr. Bond to establish inoculation hospitals. Bond set up these facilities and personally conducted inoculations, a move considered Washington's greatest strategic decision. Dr. Bond, who had once been ostracized for treating British soldiers, ultimately died as a result of his service to the Continental Army, having saved it through inoculation.
1. The Prosperous Mariner Community of Marblehead and its Revolutionary Leadership Author: Patrick O'Donnell Book Title: The Indispensables: The Diverse Soldier Mariners Who Shaped the Country, Formed the Navy, and Rowed Washington across the Delaware Marblehead was the second-largest port city in Massachusetts and a thriving cosmopolitan community, with a population estimated at about 5,000. Its economy relied heavily on fishing, specifically codfish from the Grand Banks, which were salted and traded globally via a massive merchant fleet. This commerce fostered some of the wealthiest men in the colonies. Key leaders included Jeremiah Lee, a man of enormous wealth and influence, and John Glover, a scrappy, stocky, red-haired self-made man who started as a cobbler and built a successful fleet of ships. These men, along with Elbridge Gerry, were prominent members of the Massachusetts Provincial Congress, sitting on crucial committees of supply and safety. They leveraged their trade routes to bring in vital resources, such as gunpowder and cannon, securing Spain as the colonies' "first foreign aid" in 1774. Glover led the Marblehead Regiment, which was notably diverse, including African Americans like Caesar Glover and Romeo, who sailed and fought together.
8. The Legacy and Sacrifice of the Marbleheaders: From Bankruptcy to Monument Author: Patrick O'Donnell Book Title: The Indispensables: The Diverse Soldier Mariners Who Shaped the Country, Formed the Navy, and Rowed Washington across the Delaware Following the Trenton campaign, many Marbleheaders, exhausted and with enlistments expired, returned home, including John Glover, whose wife was ill. Marblehead suffered immense devastation post-war; the prosperous town went "bust," the industry declined, and many leading men went bankrupt.

Henry Knox paid tribute to the regiment, stating he wished Congress had seen the men of Marblehead alone stand forward to lead the army across the perilous river to achieve the victory at Trenton.
6. The Miracle Evacuation: The Marbleheaders at the Battle of Long Island Author: Patrick O'Donnell Book Title: The Indispensables: The Diverse Soldier Mariners Who Shaped the Country, Formed the Navy, and Rowed Washington across the Delaware After the defeat at the Battle of Long Island in August 1776, Washington's 9,000-man army was trapped at Brooklyn Heights, facing destruction by Lord Howe's forces. Washington decided upon a harrowing retreat across the swirling, mile-long East River—an evacuation described as one of the most difficult military maneuvers. Had the British succeeded in destroying the army here, the Revolution likely would have ended. The Marblehead Regiment was tasked with rowing the army across in small, inadequate boats. The success relied entirely on the unique skill set of the Marbleheaders, honed by fishing the deadly Grand Banks. Despite the wind and currents initially frustrating the operation, two timely atmospheric events aided them: the wind failed to shift in a way that would allow the British Navy to sail up the East River to intercept, and as dawn broke, a dense fog rolled in, screening the movements of the escaping army. Washington personally supervised the evacuation, enforcing order and being one of the last men to leave the shore.
The Land Podcast - The Pursuit of Land Ownership and Investing
Welcome to the land podcast, a platform for people looking to educate themselves in the world of land ownership, land investing, staying up to date with current land trends in the Midwest, and hearing from industry experts and professionals. On today's episode, we are back in the studio with Kent Boucher and Nickolas Lirio of Hoksey Native Seeds. We discuss: Spring planning is crucial for establishing warm season grasses and pollinators. Assess current vegetation before planting; it affects your success. Spray cool season grasses in fall and spring to prepare for planting. Glyphosate is effective for controlling invasive grasses like brome. Timing is key; spray before plants go to seed to prevent future issues. Interseeding can be challenging; consider burning or grazing to create space. Diverse prairies support healthier deer populations and ecosystems. Managing land can be more rewarding than just hunting; it fosters a deeper connection. Use herbicides carefully; some can target specific invasive species effectively. Establishing a prairie can reduce long-term maintenance compared to food plots. And so much more!

Today's podcast kicks off a new series, running through November 3rd, and concludes with Dr. Karl Lehman. This 6-week series focuses on identity, attachment, wounds, lament, and securing our attachment in Christ, not your marriage.In this episode of Neurodiverse Christian Couples, hosts Dan and Stephanie welcome back neurotheologian Dr. Jim Wilder for a deep dive into identity formation, attachment, and the brain, especially as it relates to neurodiverse individuals and marriages. Dr. Wilder explains how our identity develops from infancy through adolescence, highlighting key brain regions (like the orbital prefrontal cortex, corpus callosum, and mirror neuron system) and how they contribute to our sense of self and our ability to connect with others. He discusses what happens when these developmental processes are disrupted or different — as is often the case in autism, ADHD, and other developmental differences — and how this affects relationships, emotional regulation, and group belonging. The conversation explores: How attachment and caregiver attunement in infancy shape emotional identity.Why the adolescent brain shifts focus from Who am I? to Who are my people? — and how failing to find a “herd” can impact identity.The biological and neurological reasons why change (especially in neurodiverse individuals) takes time, encouragement, and community rather than just “trying harder.”Why accountability in the traditional sense often fails, and how a supportive group offering healthy correction is much more effective for growth and transformation.How autism impacts the identity center of the brain and its implications for marital relationships This episode sets the stage for a series on identity and attachment, touching on grief, resilience, and sacred attachment, with upcoming guests offering complementary perspectives. If you're curious about how brain development, faith, and neurodiversity intersect — especially within marriage and community — this episode provides both insight and encouragement. About Our Guest Dr. Jim Wilder:Dr. Jim Wilder has been training leaders and counselors for over 30 years on five continents. Jim grew up in South America and is bilingual (English/Spanish). He is the author of nineteen books with a strong focus on maturity and relational skills. Dr. Wilder has served as a guest lecturer at Fuller Seminary, Biola, Talbot Seminary, Point Loma University, Montreat College, Tyndale Seminary, and elsewhere. Dr. Jim Wilder has extensive clinical counseling experience and is the chief neurotheologian of Life Model Works, a nonprofit working at the intersection of theology and brain science. Life Model Works builds on the fifty-year legacy of Shepherd's House, which began in the 1970s as a ministry to street kids in Van Nuys, California. In those early days, Jim worked with the team of volunteer counselors and Fuller Seminary faculty to build a counseling center to help broken people recover from negative habits, addictions, abuse, and trauma. By the 1990s, Jim was Assistant Director and later Executive Director of Shepherd's House, helping hundreds of pastors and churches with their toughest counseling cases. Jim was intimately involved in 1987 when Shepherd's House conducted a careful review of why some people with the same level of trauma and treatment recovered, but others did not. The results of this case-by-case study became The Life Model, a new recovery model. The Life Model study findings were published in Living from the Heart Jesus Gave You.

On this episode of Destination on the Left, I talk with Jason Nies, proprietor of the renowned Inn at Honey Run, and LaVern Hershberger, Vice President of Homestead Furniture. This week's show takes us to the heart of Ohio's Amish country, where we dive into a truly unique partnership: The Inn at Honey Run's iconic Club Level Honeycombs—rooms built into the hillside—are set for a major redesign with Homestead Furniture leading the transformation. Jason and LaVern share the story of how their professional paths crossed through local tourism efforts, their shared mission to honor the area's heritage while staying relevant, and how their businesses are making an impact far beyond their own walls by referring guests to one another. What You Will Learn in This Episode: Why both companies are focused on staying relevant to new generations of customers while remaining true to their roots and values What makes Homestead Furniture stand out in the Amish furniture industry How the redesign of the Inn at Honey Run's Club Level Honeycomb rooms will offer guests twelve distinct themed experiences to appeal to diverse visitor preferences Why community collaboration and participating in local tourism committees have been a catalyst for business innovation and personal connection in Holmes County How tourism and destination marketing directly impact both the resort and furniture business, creating a full-circle relationship where each refers customers to the other and enhances the local economy LaVern and Jason's advice on making partnerships work, including the importance of aligned values and trust in each other's expertise Staying Relevant in a Changing Landscape Both the Inn at Honey Run and Homestead Furniture have deep roots in their community—Jason as the inn's third owner and LaVern as part of Homestead's third generation. But remaining core to your brand while evolving to meet modern tastes is a challenge. By integrating contemporary designs and offering full customization, Homestead ensures their craftsmanship appeals to both long-standing customers and a new, design-savvy generation. Jason describes The Inn at Honey Run as “not an Amish country experience” in the traditional sense, but rather “an affordable luxury getaway” located in natural beauty, complete with unique hillside Honeycomb rooms, an award-winning restaurant, and an open-air art museum. By continuously refining the inn's offerings, Jason is setting a new standard for rural luxury and authenticity. A Vision for Diverse, Immersive Stays At the heart of this collaboration is the Honeycomb Homecoming project, a complete reimagining of The Inn at Honey Run's signature Honeycombs—earth-sheltered suites built into a hillside and renowned for privacy and natural immersion. What makes this project groundbreaking is its approach to guest experience. Each of the 12 Honeycomb rooms will be uniquely themed, offering distinctive moods, decor, and even scents to transform the atmosphere. Thanks to the partnership with Homestead, guests will soon be able to choose their ideal ambiance, whether rustic, coastal, mid-century, or traditional, along with the highest level of Amish craftsmanship. Creating a Destination, Not Just a Stay The connection between The Inn at Honey Run and Homestead Furniture extends beyond their immediate partnership. Both Jason and LaVern are actively involved in local tourism development, serving on the chamber's tourism committee to promote Holmes County while preserving authentic Amish culture. Their partnership reinforces Holmes County's status as a top tourist destination in Ohio, attracting visitors eager to escape city life and immerse themselves in natural beauty. The collaboration is full circle; visitors drawn by Homestead's reputation for quality design are guided to stay at the inn, while hotel guests experience Homestead's work firsthand, perhaps inspiring a furniture investment of their own.
