Podcasts about drives

You've got clarity. You know what you want. But do you actually understand what's driving the whole thing? Most people focus on goal-setting and never dig into the psychology underneath. Today I'm breaking down five principles that drive every outcome you're chasing. This is mastermind level thinking that applies everywhere. Your business. Your employees. Your kids. Your personal goals. Once you understand these fundamentals, your goals stop being struggles and start becoming systems that actually work. Fair warning: you might need to listen to this one a few times. Featured Story I've got a friend who's about to run across Death Valley. We're talking 140 miles through Badwater in 130-degree heat with 25,000 feet of vertical climb. Yesterday I asked him what his outcome was. He said he needs to climb the mountain because that's part of the route. I stopped him right there. That's not your outcome. Your outcome is to break the world record. If you climb the mountain, great. But you might get tired on the other side and stop. The mountain is a step. Breaking the record is the outcome. That distinction changes everything about how you approach what you're doing. Important Points Most people confuse their actionable steps with their actual outcome, which guarantees confusion and missed goals. The true value isn't the goal itself but what achieving it creates in your life, business, or legacy right now. Everything you build should scale without breaking your peaceful base or creating more work than it's actually worth. Memorable Quotes "Life should not be as hard as it is. I've never believed it, never liked it, so I decided to hack my way better." "Know your outcome, not a vague promise to yourself. Vague outcomes guarantee you'll stop when things get tough." "Give it a clear name so you can live it, tell people about it, and magically transport yourself right into the game." Scott's Three-Step Approach Know your specific outcome and chunk your actionable steps into an operational system you can actually follow. Understand the true value beyond the surface goal because that's what keeps you moving forward when it gets hard. Make it scalable with a clear name so it builds on itself without breaking what's already working in your life.

Detroit Lions Podcast: Ragnow retirement and the O-line reckoning High Bar, Hard Truths The Detroit Lions walked into this NFL season with Super Bowl talk and a sky-high bar set by a 15-2 run the year before. The expectation was simple. When games tightened, they would flip the switch and bury teams. That switch never clicked. The Detroit Lions Podcast crew gathered for a season-ending roundtable and traced the arc from hype to hard lessons. The story centered on an offense that lost its core and never rediscovered rhythm. Drives stalled. Third downs piled up. The run game sputtered. Defensive injuries compounded the strain. The offense, once the engine, could not carry the load. The panel's verdict was blunt. This team was not as good as many thought, and the gap revealed itself week after week. The Frank Ragnow Pivot The season turned when Frank Ragnow retired. That single move gutted the middle of the offensive line and forced a cascade of fixes that never stuck. A rookie guard stepped in on one side and, effectively, a rookie guard on the other. Taylor Decker battled through at left tackle. Penei Sewell carried as much as a right tackle can carry. The line could not clear lanes with consistency. It could not protect the structure of the offense on schedule. In the NFL, that is the most punishing failure. The consequences touched everything. Running the football lost bite. Third down kept getting longer. The offense chased instead of dictated. What last year's group masked, this year's group magnified. The Lions did not have an adequate answer once the center spot changed overnight. Offseason Questions Along the Line Every key question points back to the trenches. Who is the left tackle going to be? Who is the center going to be? Do the Lions move a guard to center and then replace that guard? Those choices will define the first steps toward 2025 and beyond. The conversation stretches to the skill group as well. What happens with David Montgomery? What does recovery look like for Sam Laporta, with a herniated disc raising real concern? Reset the line, and the rest can recalibrate. Fail to solve the core, and the same problems return. That was the consensus thread throughout the roundtable. 2025 and 2026 Outlook The room looked forward, and the tone was measured. There was even a note that 2026 feels better than 2025 right now. That tracks with the scale of the rebuild needed up front. The Detroit Lions must restore the center position, stabilize guard, and decide on left tackle. Do that, and the identity that once made them dangerous returns. The Detroit Lions Podcast closed on a simple truth. Fix the offensive line, and the offense regains its engine. Miss, and we are back here again talking about what might have been. #detroitlions #lions #detroitlionspodcast #frankragnallretired #offensiveline #lefttackle #center #rookieguard #taylordecker #penasewell #samlaporta #herniateddisc #davidmontgomery #thirddown #runningthefootball #injuriesonthedefense Learn more about your ad choices.

Guest: Behnam Ben Taleblu. Reports of the Ayatollah planning to flee are likely inaccurate; the regime's ideology drives it to fight rather than seek exile. Despite economic strain, Tehran continues funding proxies like Hezbollah to maintain its transnational terrorist apparatus. The regime also seeks to exploit chaos in Syria to reassert influence.

Guest: Brandon Weichert. Chinese tech giant Baidu is developing high-end chips to boost its market valuation. However, the Chinese state drives this "chip war" for military control and resilience rather than profitability. Despite some puffery regarding capabilities, China is serious about creating indigenous alternatives to American technology.1954

Details Emotional intelligence has dominated leadership conversations for years—and for good reason. Leaders who listen, empathize, and build strong relationships create healthier, more engaged teams. But what if EQ isn't the primary capability driving leadership effectiveness?

What if operational excellence depends less on doing more with less—and more on how leaders create meaning, optimism, and relationships at work? Episode page with video, transcript, and more In this episode, Mark Graban is joined by Kathy Miller, senior operations executive, leadership coach, and author of More Is Better: Leading Operations with Meaning, Optimism, and Relationships for Excellence. Drawing on decades of experience in manufacturing and aerospace, along with research from positive psychology, Kathy explains how leadership behavior directly shapes safety, quality, engagement, and performance. The conversation explores why “soft skills” are not soft at all, how leaders can practice realistic optimism without ignoring real problems, and how everyday interactions either build psychological safety or quietly undermine it. Kathy also shares practical insights for leading under pressure, balancing compassion with accountability, and helping people find meaning even in highly segmented operational work. This episode is especially relevant for leaders in manufacturing, healthcare, and operations who want sustainable results without burnout, fear, or disengagement.

In corporate finance, we often focus on balance sheets, cash flow, and NPV. However, there is an "invisible factor" that dictates whether those numbers hold up: Corporate Culture. While it doesn't have a line item, culture acts as either a precision tool for financial discipline or a toxic liability that destroys enterprise value.In this episode of Corporate Finance Explained, hear how to move culture from the HR office to finance, exploring how trust, psychological safety, and accountability translate into hard dollars and cents.The 4 Financial Levers of CultureA strong culture isn't just about "feeling good" it's a performance multiplier that impacts the bottom line through four direct channels:Productivity & Execution: High-trust cultures move with incredible velocity. By cutting through bureaucratic "sign-off" layers and blame-avoidance, high-trust teams can reduce decision cycle times by up to 40%, accelerating time-to-market.Decision-Making Quality: Healthy cultures encourage "robust debate." When employees feel safe to voice concerns (Psychological Safety), leadership avoids the catastrophic blind spots that lead to failed mergers or flawed product launches.Cost of Human Capital: Employee turnover is a massive recurring expense. Replacing an employee can cost 50% to 150% of their salary, but the hidden costs—lost institutional knowledge and training dips—are even higher.Risk Management & Compliance: Fear-based cultures suppress bad news. A culture that encourages surfacing risks early lowers the company's risk profile, directly reducing the Cost of Capital (the interest rates you pay) demanded by lenders.Culture in Strategy: Accuracy, Discipline, and InnovationCulture fundamentally changes how a company executes its financial planning and growth:Forecast Accuracy: Transparent cultures provide cleaner, earlier data. Surfacing a risk is rewarded, leading to fewer "end-of-quarter" surprises.Cost Discipline: Cultures of high accountability drive Zero-Based Budgeting (ZBB), moving away from "entitlement spending."Innovation: Real innovation requires the safety to fail. If failure is punished, employees only pursue safe, incremental ideas, stifling disruptive growth.Resilience: During market shocks, trust enables rapid cost-cutting and resource reallocation that low-trust competitors cannot match.Case Studies: Triumphs and TragediesNetflix (Success): Their "Freedom & Responsibility" model enabled massive capital shifts from DVDs to streaming via extreme strategic agility.Google (Success): Psychological safety powers an R&D engine that prunes failing projects early, saving billions in "sunk costs."WeWork (Failure): A culture of unchecked exuberance ignored financial controls, erasing tens of billions in paper value.Theranos (Failure): Suppression of dissent led to massive misstatements and total corporate obliteration.The Finance Professional's Cultural DashboardFinance teams should track cultural health using these granular data indicators:Turnover by Function: High churn in Internal Audit or Compliance is a massive red flag. Forecasting Behavior: Are teams "padding" budgets to create easy beats? This is a symptom of low trust. Project Delivery Metrics: Consistent delays in cross-functional handoffs often signal a collaboration problem, not a funding one. Ethical Indicators: Spikes in whistleblower reports or audit findings are leading indicators of catastrophic financial risk.

Indiana is the Rose Bowl champions — and Galen Clavio and Scott Caulfield finally get to sit down for the full, official breakdown after an unforgettable trip to Pasadena and a 38–3 demolition of Alabama in the CFP quarterfinal.They relive the week in L.A. (including the parade/rain chaos and just how completely IU fans took over the city), then dive into what made the win so overwhelming: Indiana's commitment to the run with Roman Hemby and Kaelon Black, Fernando Mendoza's surgical efficiency, and a defense that played with violence and discipline while forcing Alabama into desperation mode under Kalen DeBoer and Ty Simpson.They also hit “Recite the Drives,” spotlight key performances like Charlie Becker, Elijah Sarratt, Devin Boykin, and D'Angelo Ponds, and and talk about the mental reset needed after the Rose Bowl high with Oregon (and Dan Lanning) waiting in the Peach Bowl semifinal.

Brave Leadership: How Courage, Not Comfort, Drives Results with Jill Schulman Fear shows up quietly in leadership. It delays decisions. Avoids hard conversations. Keeps talented people playing it safe. In this episode of Deep Leadership, I'm joined by Jill Schulman, Marine Corps veteran, leadership consultant, and author of The Bravery Effect, to break down why courage—not comfort—is what actually drives results. Jill shares how fear silently controls behavior at work, why avoiding discomfort makes leaders weaker (not happier), and how bravery can be trained like a muscle. Drawing from military leadership, positive psychology, and decades of executive work, she explains why doing hard things is essential for growth, confidence, and performance. We talk about: Why fear is one of the biggest hidden problems in leadership The science behind bravery and why it's a skill anyone can build How avoiding discomfort fuels anxiety and poor decision-making Why action—not confidence—creates courage How leaders can build braver teams and cultures Why “doing hard things” leads to better results and greater fulfillment If you're a leader who wants stronger performance, better decisions, and a team that doesn't crumble under pressure, this conversation will challenge how you think about fear, comfort, and courage.

Retired Alaska State Trooper Richie joins Tony to recount decades of high-strangeness encounters spanning the Arctic and Appalachia. He describes driving through a dome-like anomaly on Alaska's Dalton Highway where temperatures plunged sixty degrees instantly, along with years of policing inside the Alaska Triangle, an area known for UFOs, Bigfoot, and ancient Native warnings about giant people and underground little people. After moving to Kentucky, Richie encountered massive footprints, wood knocks, forest structures, and a small humanoid being running at impossible speed in broad daylight. He also shares firsthand experiences with demonic manifestations, a clear angelic visitation, and a mysterious woman who appeared to emit light before vanishing. This is a sober, firsthand account from a veteran lawman reporting what he witnessed, while theorizing what he thinks it might be. Please pray for Tony's wife, Lindsay, as she battles breast cancer.

“The high-end consumer's going to drive the spend this holiday,” says Charlie O'Shea, citing anecdotal evidence of long lines even in the cold.

On this week's episode of  The Business of Watches, we sit down with Ilaria Resta, the Chief Executive Officer of Audemars Piguet.  Among the strategically important years in the brand's 150-year history, 2025 may rank among the most significant. Not only did it mark a century-and-a-half anniversary, it demanded a strong and determined leader to navigate through a mille feuille of challenges. Amid U.S. tariffs, record prices for gold, an extremely strong Swiss franc, and an overall downturn in market demand, Resta and her team from Le Brassus grew sales by double-digits, up 12%, as of the end of October compared to the year before, according to the brand. That's more than CHF 2.3 billion in sales, according to analyst estimates. That's no small achievement considering the extraordinary headwinds facing the industry. Overall, Swiss watch exports are set to decline for the second year in a row in 2025. Under Resta's leadership, AP is bucking the trend and then some. In this episode, we talk about the notable product releases from AP this year, including its innovative perpetual calendar and the highly wearable, groundbreaking RD#5; how she intends to manage production; the evolution of the brand; and possible changes to model lines. A long-time senior executive in the consumer goods industry, Resta discusses what makes the watch industry unique and what it needs to do to appeal to the next generation of clients.Show Notes3:50 Audemars Piguet at Dubai Watch Week5:27 AP Perpetual Calendars in 38mm 7:50 Book round-up featuring Audemars Piguet The Watch 9:10 Swiss Watch Exports11:52 Royal Oak Offshore 15:30 Audemars Piguet says CEO Staying (BoF) 17:33 AP Certified Pre-Owned 19:30 Dubai Watch Week CEO Roundtable 22:25 A Plea For Proportionality (Hodinkee)

4 tales of Christmas with Consequences. From Krampus to the Yule Cat, there's no hope for the naughty.

#301 Sales doesn't start and stop with an offer. It's always running, and it comes down to one thing: communication. In this short but powerful conversation, I sat down with Elias Scarr to talk about what actually drives sustainable growth in a fitness business. We break down why having a clear sales structure matters, how tracking the right data changes everything, and why confidence is the real differentiator between gyms that grow and gyms that stall. If you want more clients, better retention, and fewer awkward sales conversations, this episode is a must-listen. In this episode, we cover: Why sales is always happening whether you realize it or not The 3 core drivers of gym growth: new business, additional business, and retention The role of structure and systems in effective sales communication The 3 biggest sales takeaways every gym owner should focus on How confidence in the client changes the entire sales process The 3 Big Takeaways: Track the right data and actually use it to guide conversations Be diligent with follow-up (most sales are lost here) Build confidence in the client, not just the offer Elias also shares his 8-step framework for doing sales communication the right way, a system he'll be teaching live at the Profitable Gym Intensive. About the Guest: Elias Scarr is a sales and communication expert in the fitness industry and one of the featured speakers at the Profitable Gym Intensive. His work focuses on building simple, repeatable systems that help gym owners grow without feeling pushy or salesy. Coming Up at PGI: Elias will be teaching a session titled: "Turn Your Members Into Your Best Sales Team" (aka how great communication creates referrals, retention, and momentum without awkward selling)

We are absolutely delighted to welcome Richard Bliss, the founder and CEO of BlissPoint Consulting, as today's guest. Richard has focused his entire career on helping people with their social selling behavior. He is well-known both inside and outside of our industry as a LinkedIn Top Voices Influencer and an experienced executive communications leader. Stay tuned as Richard shares his story and offers practical insights on social selling, executive communication, and what truly builds influence on LinkedIn. Richard's Journey Richard began his career with 14 years in the National Guard, earning the rank of Captain, before moving into early enterprise technology in the late 1900s. He became a global evangelist during the rise of email as a business platform, emerging as a leading voice in email security when internet-based threats first appeared. He has spoken in 22 countries, hosted international technology conferences, and built a reputation for helping individuals and organizations understand how fast-moving technologies affect both work and life. Reinvention After Richard served as Chief Marketing Officer and helped the startup grow from under $1 million in revenue to more than $10 million, the company abruptly let him go. That forced him to rebuild from scratch, relying on his personal brand rather than a company title. He launched a long-running podcast, self-published a book, taught himself about social media, and reframed LinkedIn as a business media platform rather than a social one. A pivotal $800-a-month consulting role with a senior NetApp executive reopened doors that ultimately led to Richard founding his own company. Creating Opportunity Richard believes opportunity comes from deliberately placing yourself where it can find you. What others might view as setbacks, he sees as sequences that lead to better outcomes. Modern Credibility In today's digital-first world, people build credibility online long before they meet in person. Audiences constantly evaluate LinkedIn profiles, even when owners remain inactive. They judge professionalism, expertise, and trustworthiness based on what they see, which makes visibility unavoidable rather than optional. Small Businesses Have an Advantage Small business owners often outperform large organizations online because they speak in their own authentic voice. Without layers of corporate filtering, they can tell clear, personal stories and connect directly with their audience. With LinkedIn and generative AI, they can reach customers without gatekeepers, large budgets, or traditional media exposure. LinkedIn LinkedIn works best when treated as an ongoing conversation rather than a static profile or sales funnel. Profiles and posts should focus on the audience's problems and opportunities, rather than one's personal history. Forming Relationships Cold outreach and instant pitching undermine trust. Relationships form when value is given initially through attention, insight, and engagement. Comments, referrals, and thoughtful interaction create a natural sense of reciprocity, opening the door to future business conversations. Building Real Engagement Artificial engagement pods violate LinkedIn's rules, so they are increasingly penalized. Genuine collaboration comes from consistent, meaningful interaction with customers, partners, and peers. Thoughtful comments on others' posts help establish topic authority and increase visibility organically. Using AI Generative AI is most effective as a support tool, not a replacement for a human voice. While AI can help shape ideas and drafts, comments and conversations must remain personal. LinkedIn prioritizes authentic, real-time engagement and increasingly suppresses purely AI-generated content. Practical LinkedIn Rhythm That Actually Works Sustainable success on LinkedIn requires modest, consistent effort. A small number of meaningful comments each day and one to three posts per week outperform high-volume posting. Conversations should be allowed to develop fully before starting new ones, aligning with how LinkedIn distributes content. Events, AI, and the Power of In-Person Connection Despite advances in AI, live events remain irreplaceable. Shared physical experiences, eye contact, and informal conversations build trust in ways digital tools cannot. Competent professionals prepare for events by engaging attendees online beforehand, without pitching, so that in-person meetings feel like natural continuations of existing relationships.

Mid-major Division I baseball programs don't always have the biggest budgets, flashiest facilities, or national spotlight — but many consistently develop high-level players. In this episode, we break down how great coaching becomes the competitive advantage.We dive into how mid-major D1 staffs focus on individualized player development, teaching fundamentals, and building repeatable routines that translate to game performance. Without relying on star recruits or unlimited resources, these programs emphasize skill growth, baseball IQ, physical development, and mental toughness.The conversation also covers how coaches identify under-recruited players, create clear development plans, and hold athletes accountable in an environment where development isn't optional — it's the priority. From practice structure to feedback systems, we explore what separates programs that consistently improve players from those that don't.Whether you're a player navigating the recruiting process, a parent trying to understand different D1 environments, or a coach looking for development ideas, this episode offers an inside look at why great coaching — not resources — is often the biggest driver of success at the mid-major level.

Ever felt the Sunday scaries so deeply it made you question your job altogether? You’re not alone—and that's exactly where this conversation starts. In this episode, I'm joined by Mary Baird—international workshop facilitator, employee experience strategist, and host of The Simplifiers Podcast. Mary simplifies the chaos of corporate life and brings 18+ years of leadership development experience to the table. We’re unpacking why employee experience isn't just an HR checkbox—it's a leadership credibility strategy. From layoffs to trust gaps to talent wars, today’s leaders need more than perks and pizza parties. They need a clear EX strategy that drives real outcomes and external influence. Mary breaks down her Employee Experience Flywheel, shows how leadership development must be co-created, and shares bold truths about why most corporate cultures are broken—and how to fix them. What you’ll learn in this episode: Why employee experience is the new leadership advantage How to define EX in a way that drives trust and results Why traditional leadership development fails (and what to do instead) How to build a culture that retains talent and grows credibility The direct link between internal culture and external influence Tangible actions execs can take this quarter to improve EX How to make your leadership presence match your external brand Mentioned in this episode: Visit Mary at https://marybaird.co and follow her on LinkedIn at https://www.linkedin.com/in/thesimplifiers/ The Simplifiers Podcast: https://thesimplifiers.com Your Next Steps: Access the white paper: External Influence: The Currency Every Leader Must Carry. https://externalinfluence.us Follow Shayna on LinkedIn: http://linkedin.com/in/shaynarattler Visit our website: https://executivesignalsgroup.com

In this message from 1 John 4, we look at Christmas through the eyes of the Apostle John near the end of his life. After decades of ministry, suffering, and loss, John doesn't offer advice for fear—he offers good news: God is love. This teaching explores: Why fear doesn't just live in our thoughts, but in our nervous system How God's love takes the initiative long before we do What “perfect love” actually means—and how it casts out fear Why the opposite of love isn't hate, but fear How the incarnation of Jesus is God's answer to human anxiety Rather than calling us to be braver, Christmas invites us to receive love more fully—a love that is sacrificial, unconditional, and strong enough to heal even our deepest fears. If fear has shaped your expectations, habits, or faith, this message is an invitation to step further into the love of God—and to discover the freedom that comes with it. “There is no fear in love. Instead, perfect love drives out fear.” — 1 John 4:18

In this episode, I sit down with Jessica Kriegel, a culture strategist, speaker, and former Chief Scientist of Workplace Culture at Culture Partners. Jessica has spent years studying what actually drives performance inside organizations, and she brings research backed clarity to a topic most leaders still struggle to operationalize. Together, we break down why culture is not a soft concept, but the single most powerful lever leaders have to drive results, including up to four times revenue growth when purpose, strategy, and culture are fully aligned. Jessica shares a practical framework for turning culture into a business system, not a poster on the wall. We unpack why most culture efforts fail, how beliefs shape behavior more than processes ever will, and what leaders must stop doing if they want real accountability. This conversation is grounded, actionable, and designed for leaders who want measurable outcomes, not motivational fluff. Key takeaways: Culture is how people think and act to get results, not a list of values or perks Companies with full alignment between purpose, strategy, and culture grow four times faster than those without it Clarity beats complexity when defining purpose and direction Beliefs drive behavior more than policies, processes, or procedures True accountability is a personal choice, not a blame mechanism Most organizations spend the majority of their time below the line in blame and excuses Recognition, storytelling, and feedback are the fastest ways to shape beliefs Surrendering control creates stronger commitment and better long term results Leaders cannot force alignment, but they can design experiences that invite it This episode is for CEOs, founders, executives, people leaders, and anyone responsible for driving performance through other people. If you are frustrated that your culture initiatives are not translating into results, or if you feel like you are managing compliance instead of commitment, this conversation will change how you lead. You will walk away with simple language, a clear framework, and specific actions you can apply immediately to build a culture that actually drives growth. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

One thread, often barely acknowledged, always present in violent extremist attacks: misogyny.

She joins host Krys Boyd to discuss why we need to confront misogyny head on to prevent future acts of violence, and why attackers so often blame women for their hateful beliefs.
