Our circumstances, emotions, and relationships all shape us, but they don't define us. At the center of who we are is something deeper: the heart. In this fourth episode of our series exploring CCEF's seven distinctives, Gunner Gundersen is joined by Jonathan Holmes and Esther Liu to discuss what we mean when we say, "Our hearts are active." Together they explore how Scripture describes the heart as the center of our desires, fears, loves, worship, and choices. How does understanding the heart change the way we pursue personal growth, care for others, and participate in the life of the local church? The conversation moves beyond behavior modification to consider how God meets us at the deepest level of who we are. Jonathan, Esther, and Gunner share personal stories of how this distinctive has shaped their own walks with Christ and explain why curiosity, humility, and hope are essential when helping others. In this episode, you'll learn: • What CCEF means by "our hearts are active." • Why biblical change is more than changing outward behavior. • How desires, fears, and loves reveal what's happening in our hearts. • Why understanding the heart leads to deeper relationships and wiser care. • How this distinctive equips churches to cultivate meaningful, gospel-centered conversations.

Behind every great villain is… frankly, well, often there's another bigger villain pulling the strings. But the truth is, while we often celebrate “the big bad” some of the most… The post e431. Henchmen, Heavies, Minions & Muscle: Narrative Dynamics of the Hired Goon appeared first on The VoxPopcast.

The July 20, 2026 edition of The Charlie James Show centered on political developments following the death of U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham. Host Charlie James analyzed Darline Graham's entry into the primary race to claim her late brother's Senate seat. He questioned her conservative credentials, highlighted her lack of a public platform, and discussed the South Carolina GOP's voting requirement rules, which might necessitate a candidate waiver for her. Callers voiced concerns regarding transparency, candidate qualifications, and candidate selection procedures.

In this episode of Tank Talks, host Matt Cohen sits down with Paul Ziadé, CEO and co-founder of North Vector Dynamics, a Calgary-based company building full-spectrum precision missile systems for Canada and its allies. A former tenured professor at the University of Calgary turned defence entrepreneur, Paul brings a deeply personal and historically literate perspective to the Canadian defence landscape. He shares his family's story of displacement from Lebanon and Armenia, and how that legacy of resilience informs his mission to build a sovereign missile capability for Canada.Paul offers a frank assessment of Canada's defence complacency, arguing that the culture of risk-aversion is “upstream of everything.” He explains why the obsession with “dual-use” investing is holding the country back, why pure-play defence innovation is critical, and how startups like his can deliver capability faster than the traditional 10-year procurement cycle. He also breaks down the massive opportunity presented by the Golden Dome NORAD modernization and why Canada must participate not just as a buyer, but as an active builder.Whether you're a defence founder navigating the Canadian ecosystem, an investor trying to understand the shift in risk capital, or a policy wonk watching the Arctic heat up, Paul Ziade delivers the kind of straight talk that cuts through the noise.From Civil War to Canadian Soil (00:01:20)* Paul's upbringing as the child of Lebanese-Armenian immigrants who fled civil war and genocide.* How his parents' appreciation for Canada's peace and rule of law instilled a deep sense of responsibility.* The household rule: “Laziness was never an option” , competitive soccer, piano, student government, and French schooling.The Kennedy Space Center Spark (00:04:00)* How a grade 10 family trip to the Kennedy Space Center “lit the fuse” for his obsession with rocketry.* Touching the Saturn V and realizing what human ingenuity could achieve.* Why he needed a strong goal to anchor his focus and drive.Academia to Entrepreneurship (00:05:38)* Why he left a tenured professorship after 10 years at the University of Calgary.* The mindset shift: moving from committee-driven, overthinking academic life to the velocity and action-mentality of startups.* How academia trained him to be a better communicator, but startup life gave him instant feedback on every decision.The North Vector Vision (00:08:53)* The mission: precision missile systems on every continent protecting allies and Canada.* Full-spectrum air defence , from low-and-slow drones to hypersonic threats.* Assembling the “Avengers” team from his university labs, including co-founders Craig (aerospace research chair) and Colin (former TA).The Supply Chain Blind Spot (00:10:36)* Canada's massive gap in energetics , from solid rocket motors to warheads, and upstream chemical synthesis (RDX, HMX, C4 propellants).* Why “vertically integrated” doesn't always mean what people think.* The need for government signals to encourage private companies to take the risk and spool up.Defence Investing: Then vs. Now (00:14:48)* In 2022, no one wanted to look at North Vector , squeamishness around defence was rampant.* The gap between the narrative and reality on the ground in Canada.* Why most Canadian investors are still obsessed with “dual-use” investing, which Paul argues is historically misguided.The Dual-Use Delusion (00:29:31)* The problem with forcing every defence tech to have a civilian application.* Historical examples: GPS (missile guidance), duct tape (waterproof ammunition sealing).* The parallel to basic science , pure math and quantum mechanics funded with no immediate application, yet yielding enormous real-world benefits.Canada vs. The U.S. (00:18:43)* Honest admission: it's easier to build defence tech south of the border.* Why North Vector chose to stay in Canada despite the friction.* Canada as a “frontier market” , a massive opportunity for those willing to build.* The debt of gratitude to the country that gave his family refuge.ACDC & The 70% Target (00:21:20)* Paul co-chairs the Alliance of Canadian Defence Companies (ACDC) , now nearly 200 members.* The goal: champion Canadian-owned, Canadian-controlled companies and advocate for fast contracts.* Holding the government accountable to the Defence Industrial Strategy (DIS) without displacing primes.In-Q-Tel & The Culture Shift (00:23:16)* What a Canadian version of In-Q-Tel would need to get right.* The critical need: give delegated authorities permission to take risks and accept failure as part of the process.* Moving money out the door faster to small, scrappy startups that could win big.The Golden Dome Opportunity (00:27:13)* Canada's lack of commitment to NORAD modernization and the Golden Dome.* The upside: a $500B–$1.2T opportunity.* Paul's proposed win-win: “Give Trump the $61B win, but ensure $40B goes to Canadian firms.”* How Canada can participate as an active builder, not just a buyer.About Paul ZiadéPaul Ziadé is the CEO and co-founder of North Vector Dynamics, a Calgary-based company building full-spectrum precision missile systems for Canada and its allies. A former tenured professor at the University of Calgary, Paul holds deep expertise in high-speed propulsion and aerodynamics, having spent over a decade in academia before pivoting to the startup world. He is also the co-chair of the Alliance of Canadian Defence Companies (ACDC) , advocating for Canadian-owned, Canadian-controlled defence firms. A first-generation Canadian with roots in Lebanon and Armenia, Paul brings a historically literate perspective to national security and the urgent need for Canada to build sovereign defence capability.Connect with Paul Ziadé on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/paul-ziade/Visit North Vector Dynamics' website: https://www.northvectordynamics.com/Learn more about ACDC: https://www.alliancecanada.com/Connect with Matt Cohen on LinkedIn: https://ca.linkedin.com/in/matt-cohen1Visit the Ripple Ventures website: https://www.rippleventures.com/ This is a public episode.

I love when I get to learn from fellow Enneagram coaches and hear about their real-world experiences and fresh takes.In this episode, I had the opportunity to sit down with Lee Fields and Seth "Creek" Creekmore, co-founders of Analog Enneagram, to discuss the coworker chemistry between the Enneagram Type 1 (Striving to Feel Perfect) and Type 4 (Striving to Feel Unique).Lee is a certified Enneagram coach and teacher who serves as VP of the IEA Southeast chapter and on faculty with Awareness to Action. Creek is a coach, musician, and podcast producer behind Fathoms, the Awareness to Action Podcast, and the IEA's podcast. Together they bring serious depth to this framework, and honestly, this was one of the most thoughtful, insight-packed conversations I've had on the show.Lee represented the One, Creek represented the Four, and what unfolded was a refreshing, honest, funny, and real-life look at how these two types show up in working relationships and on teams; from the quiet trust-building in the beginning of a One-Four dynamic, to the friction points around identity and rigidity, to the surprising gifts each type brings when they're working well together.If you work with a One or a Four, lead one, or are one yourself, this episode will give you language for dynamics you've probably felt but never quite named.Connect with Lee & Creek:

In this action-packed, combined workshop session of The Second Act Executive, host Tawnie Wolf cuts through the noise of digital censorship, algorithmic engagement metrics, and institutional investor overreach to explain why building an independent, sovereign line of communication is non-negotiable for business leaders today. Grab your notebook and dive straight into the design curriculum as Tawnie breaks down the psychology of mobile legibility, color choice, and how to successfully leverage AI tools alongside Canva to create cover art that commands attention. Finally, the episode shines an inspirational spotlight on the official pre-order launch of her son's new book, Asher the Chief Ranger. His beautiful story serves as a powerful reminder that every voice matters, tracing the journey of a young Native American child navigating a speech delay while learning how to embrace his identity in a modern society. Inspired by his heroes, tech builders Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg, and discovering that his mother has penned speeches for many people, including Barack Obama, Asher learns how to truly find and exercise his voice. It's a testament to the fact that you can do hard things and the world is waiting for your story. Tune in for tonight's core homework assignment and learn how to submit your progress directly!

Key Takeaways Solgari's leading innovations: Grant explains that Solgari provides a customer engagement platform built on Azure that extends Microsoft Teams and Dynamics 365 (as well as other CRMs) to capture customer conversations and centralize that data for better engagement. Customers are adopting it to quickly solve specific engagement challenges, gain fast ROI, and apply it to AI strategies to drive more intelligent business outcomes. AI's role in customer engagement: Companies that centralize customer conversations into a single data platform gain an advantage because AI is only as effective as the data it can access. Grant says customer engagement is "ground zero for AI" as it enables capabilities like automation, sentiment analysis, and sales or service intelligence that improve customer satisfaction, reduce costs, and deliver measurable ROI. Use case: Grant shares details on Solgari's involvement with AMB Sports & Entertainment, who own the Atlanta Falcons. Solgari helped them unify fan engagement across voice, SMS, email, and WhatsApp within Microsoft Teams and Dynamics 365, creating a repository of fan conversations in Dataverse. By consolidating this data, AMB Sports & Entertainment is now well positioned to "create momentum around their AI strategy." Final thoughts: In closing, Grant shares why Solgari has shifted its customer and partner conversations away from product demos and toward business outcomes, showing how customer engagement data can evolve into valuable AI use cases over time.

Send us Fan MailWhy do great strategies so often fail in execution?In this episode of The Frustrated CEO, Patrick and Patsy uncover the hidden dynamics that quietly derail teams, damage culture, and prevent organizations from achieving their goals. While many execution problems are blamed on processes or strategy, the real obstacles are often rooted in human behavior.They explore how both intentional and unintentional behaviors can undermine trust, weaken relationships, and create cultural patterns that make effective execution nearly impossible when left unaddressed. Patrick also shares why leadership begins with genuine care and concern for people—and how leaders who recognize and manage these hidden behaviors create healthier, higher-performing teams.You'll also hear why periods of growth don't create new problems—they expose the ones that have always been there, making self-awareness and intentional leadership more important than ever.In this episode, you'll learn:-Why execution problems often start with hidden team dynamics-How unmanaged behaviors quietly erode culture and performance-The leadership mindset that builds trust and accountability-Why growth exposes existing organizational issues-Practical insights for creating teams that execute with excellenceIf you're a CEO, business owner, or leader looking to improve execution and build a stronger culture, this episode is for you.

To illustrate how uniquely challenging the restructuring experience is for the unacquainted, C Street Advisory Group founder and CEO Jon Henes recalled a client CEO's sentiment after complex, hardball restructuring negotiations: “Every time we walk into a room ... I feel like I'm in one big game of poker. Except you know what your cards are and you know what my cards are and you know what everybody in the room's cards are and so do they. The only person who doesn't know what anybody's cards are is me ... And I'm the CEO of the company.” Henes sits down with Bloomberg Intelligence analysts Negisa Balluku and Phil Brendel to explore boardroom dynamics (including a Wellman Chapter 11 retrospective) around those “most consequential moments,” managing fast-moving leaks by controlling the narrative, the intersection of Big Law and AI, and his outlook on LMEs and bankruptcies. The podcast concludes (1:24:00) with BI's Noel Hebert joining Negisa and Phil to discuss the latest developments in Incora, Serta, First Brands, Optimum Communications and DISH DBS. The State of Distressed Debt podcast is part of BI's FICC Focus series.

Have you ever begin to date someone and immediately notice that they are criticizing you, or they are marginalizing everything you do? These maybe the early stages of a person seeking control in the relationship, but their agenda is to control you. In this episode we are going to examine some of the Dynamics and characteristics of individuals that exercise please practices based on feeding and insecurity of inferiority and lack of control.

Hello Fluffle Fam! Today's episode is about the three very different relationships that our Queen Roo has had with each of her bunny companions. Every single one has been completely unique.

Despite the June jobs report coming in weaker than expected, Charles Schwab's Kevin Gordon considers the inflation story the main focus of the Fed's forward momentum. He urges investors pay attention to the impact it will have on American wallets, as a significant shift in wages will push the Fed toward stronger interest rate hikes. When it comes to markets, Kevin talks about the "MUSES" versus the "AAMMO" as Micron (MU), Samsung and SK Hynix poses new dynamics for Alphabet (GOOGL), Microsoft (MSFT), Meta Platforms (META) and other hyperscalers. ======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Subscribe to the Market Minute newsletter - https://schwabnetwork.com/subscribeDownload the iOS app - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/schwab-network/id1460719185Download the Amazon Fire Tv App - https://www.amazon.com/TD-Ameritrade-Network/dp/B07KRD76C7Watch on Sling - https://watch.sling.com/1/asset/191928615bd8d47686f94682aefaa007/watchWatch on Vizio - https://www.vizio.com/en/watchfreeplus-exploreWatch on DistroTV - https://www.distro.tv/live/schwab-network/Follow us on X – https://twitter.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/schwab-network/About Schwab Network - https://schwabnetwork.com/about

The Fantasy Loop™ doesn't happen randomly. It shows up in seven very specific relationship dynamics and life situations — and once you can name them, you'll start seeing them everywhere. In your past relationships. In your current patterns. In your friends. And if you're honest, in yourself.In Episode 318 of Secret Life Podcast, Brianne Davis-Gantt breaks down the 7 dynamics most likely to trap you inside The Fantasy Loop™ — and introduces a one-question tool to start breaking out of it.THE 7 DYNAMICS:1. Emotionally Unavailable RelationshipsYou're not relating to who they are. You're relating to their potential. As one client said: "I wasn't dating him. I was dating the future version of him." That is The Fantasy Loop™ in one sentence.2. The SituationshipSituationships are Fantasy Loop factories. No labels, no clarity, just enough connection to keep hope alive. The problem: the less information available, the more your imagination fills in the gaps. And eventually, the fantasy becomes stronger than the actual relationship. You're not grieving reality. You're grieving possibility.3. Long Distance and Online ConnectionsThe less physical reality you have, the more imagination takes over. More time imagining than experiencing. More time projecting than observing. More time building than verifying.4. The Ex You Can't Let Go OfYou're not holding onto the person. You're holding onto the fantasy of what you thought the relationship was —and the future you imagined. And if you don't separate the fantasy from the reality, you'll stay emotionally attached long after the relationship ends.5. Rescue DynamicsHelping becomes fixing. Fixing becomes saving. Saving becomes your identity. You're no longer relating to who they are — you're relating to who you hope they'll become with your help. That is not connection. That is projection. And projection always creates The Fantasy Loop™.6. The Future Fantasy LifeWhen I lose weight, when I make more money, when I launch my business, when I'm healed — then finally I can be happy. Then my life will begin. The Fantasy Loop™ convinces you fulfillment exists somewhere in the future. But the future never arrives, because every time you reach a milestone, the fantasy moves the goalposts.7. The Fantasy Version of YourselfThis may be the most painful loop of all. You spend so much time chasing your imagined self that you abandon the person who is here today. "I keep comparing myself to a version of me that doesn't even exist." Falling in love with your potential while abandoning your reality.All seven look different on the surface. Different people, different situations, different stories. But underneath, they're all built on the same foundation: emotional emptiness, ambiguity, longing, unmet needs, projection.And Brianne introduces The Truth Reset — a one-question tool to interrupt the loop: What is true right now? Not what you wish was true. Not what you hope could be true. What is true right now?Because truth is always, always going to break the fantasy.Resources at secretlifepodcast.comShare your secret: secretlifepodcast@icloud.comAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

 Dr. Bryan Danforth of Cornell University joins the podcast to discuss a new Apidology study led by Steven Hodge on emergence dynamics and host–parasite associations in a massive cemetery nesting aggregation of the solitary bee Andrena regularis. Using emergence traps checked daily for 40 days at East Lawn Cemetery near Cornell, the team estimated a mean population size of 5.5 million emerging bees within a compact area and documented synchronized host emergence with more gradual, delayed emergence by Nomada cuckoo bees, plus low-frequency associates including a meloid beetle and a conopid fly. Danforth explains A. regularis biology and its exceptional importance and effectiveness as an apple pollinator, highlights evidence for greater female investment as a potential sign of abundant resources, and argues cemeteries and other nest sites may be overlooked conservation assets, supported by Cornell's Ground-Nesting Bees iNaturalist initiative.

Most conversations about non-monogamy focus on opening a relationship, navigating jealousy, or finding new partners.But what happens after that?How do you navigate a polycule where relationships are constantly evolving? How do you manage different expectations, conflicting needs, shifting priorities, and the very human reality that not everyone connects in the same way?In this episode of Nope! We're Not Monogamous, I'm joined by Red DeRooy and Stacey Smith?, co-authors of Nonmonogamy and Group Dynamics, to explore what it really takes to build healthy relationship communities.We talk about why polycules function more like communities than relationship structures, how many of the skills you already use in friendships can help you navigate non-monogamy, and why curiosity is often more valuable than certainty.Whether you're part of a large polycule, have close metamour relationships, or are simply trying to build stronger connections with the people you love, this conversation is packed with practical insights.In this episode, we discuss:Why romantic groups function differently than one-on-one relationshipsHow to manage different expectations without unnecessary conflictThe difference between fairness and equality in non-monogamyWhy communication starts with knowing what to talk aboutManaging conflict without destabilizing an entire polyculeWhy every relationship is still built one connection at a timeThe importance of one-on-one connection, even within group relationshipsDifferent approaches to metamour relationships and why there isn't one "right" wayBuilding found family and community through non-monogamyNavigating breakups with compassion and preserving meaningful connectionsThe surprising relationship skills you probably already haveOne of my favorite moments from this conversation was the reminder that most of us already know more than we think we do.You've probably navigated friendship groups, family conflict, difficult conversations, changing relationships, and competing needs long before practicing non-monogamy. Those same skills are often the foundation for creating thriving polycules.Connect with Stacey and Red - Grab a copy of Nonmonogamy and Group Dynamics wherever books are sold, including audiobook format.

He's also a freelance researcher, a philosopher, and an educator. He's here today to educate us about some of the fundamental differences between living organisms and machines, like AI, and why we should care about those differences. We discuss his paper The Cyborg Myth, an argument for why we can't seamlessly replace ourselves with machine parts over time. We talk about judgment and relevance realization as a fundamental difference between AI and living organisms -the ability to judge what is a relevant problem to solve in the first place, assuming intelligence is about problem solving. We also discuss what agency is in living systems, and why AI agents are something completely different. I think you get the recurring theme here.

"Imposter syndrome" gets thrown around constantly in leadership spaces. But what if the label itself is doing more harm than good?Dr. Mira Brancu breaks down why the original researchers never called it a "syndrome" and what that distinction actually means for high achievers. If you've ever been promoted into a leadership role and suddenly felt like you had no idea what you were doing, this episode explains why that's not a flaw. It's the normal experience of someone learning a completely new skill set that nobody trained them for. Mira also gets real about why this hits harder for women and marginalized professionals, and draws a clear line between the kind of self-doubt that comes with growth and the kind that needs clinical support.

In this episode of Negotiating Happiness, host Adriana is joined again by Brittney Ashley of Creative Dynamics for Part 2 of their four-part AI series—shifting from curiosity to implementation with a workflow-first approach. Instead of shopping for an AI tool and hoping it finds a job, they show you how to start where the work already is: identify the tasks that eat up time, create bottlenecks, or drop balls, then decide whether automation, AI support, or a human-led process is the right fit. They break down six repeatable workflow areas in service businesses (intake, quoting, follow-up, customer support, content, and hiring), explain how to think in layers (SOP, process, system) so you don't add AI on top of chaos, and clarify when to automate vs when to augment. You'll also learn how to avoid tool sprawl and measure ROI in plain terms—hours back, fewer slips, and quicker replies—ending with a simple 30-minute workflow audit to help you pick your first “AI-worthy” project. Who is Brittney? Brittney is an enthusiastic multi-passionate entrepreneur on a mission to revolutionize the business game. With the work landscape changing at warp speed, it's high time we team up to make our dreams a reality. Beyond the business hustle, Brittney is a proud Metis mama with a bundle of experience in diverse sectors (yep, including tech), a certified Business Coach (ACC Accredited) and an Imposter Syndrome coach. Creative Dynamics started as a passion project, aiming to empower fellow moms to work from home. It evolved when Brittney spotted a gap in finding rock-solid team players. Picture Creative Dynamics as your full-service boutique-style crew, spread across Canada to supercharge business owners. At Creative Dynamics, their values are simple: dedication, reliability, and an unwavering commitment to learning, all in the name of tending to business needs.

Whoever loves instruction and correction loves knowledge, but he who hates reproof is like a brute beast, stupid and indiscriminating. 2 A good man obtains favor from the Lord, but a man of wicked devices He condemns. 3 A man shall not be established by wickedness, but the root of the [uncompromisingly] righteous shall never be moved. 4 A virtuous and worthy wife [earnest and strong in character] is a crowning joy to her husband, but she who makes him ashamed is as rottenness in his bones. 5 The thoughts and purposes of the [consistently] righteous are honest and reliable, but the counsels and designs of the wicked are treacherous. 6 The words of the wicked lie in wait for blood, but the mouth of the upright shall deliver them and the innocent ones [thus endangered]. 7 The wicked are overthrown and are not, but the house of the [uncompromisingly] righteous shall stand. 8 A man shall be commended according to his Wisdom [godly Wisdom, which is comprehensive insight into the ways and purposes of God], but he who is of a perverse heart shall be despised. 9 Better is he who is lightly esteemed but works for his own support than he who assumes honor for himself and lacks bread. 10 A [consistently] righteous man regards the life of his beast, but even the tender mercies of the wicked are cruel. 11 He who tills his land shall be satisfied with bread, but he who follows worthless pursuits is lacking in sense and is without understanding. 12 The wicked desire the booty of evil men, but the root of the [uncompromisingly] righteous yields [richer fruitage]. 13 The wicked is [dangerously] snared by the transgression of his lips, but the [uncompromisingly] righteous shall come out of trouble. 14 From the fruit of his words a man shall be satisfied with good, and the work of a man's hands shall come back to him [as a harvest]. 15 The way of a fool is right in his own eyes, but he who listens to counsel is wise. 16 A fool's wrath is quickly and openly known, but a prudent man ignores an insult. 17 He who breathes out truth shows forth righteousness (uprightness and right standing with God), but a false witness utters deceit. 18 There are those who speak rashly, like the piercing of a sword, but the tongue of the wise brings healing. 19 Truthful lips shall be established forever, but a lying tongue is [credited] but for a moment. 20 Deceit is in the hearts of those who devise evil, but for the counselors of peace there is joy. 21 No [actual] evil, misfortune, or calamity shall come upon the righteous, but the wicked shall be filled with evil, misfortune, and calamity. 22 Lying lips are extremely disgusting and hateful to the Lord, but they who deal faithfully are His delight. 23 A prudent man is reluctant to display his knowledge, but the heart of [self-confident] fools proclaims their folly. 24 The hand of the diligent will rule, but the slothful will be put to forced labor. 25 Anxiety in a man's heart weighs it down, but an encouraging word makes it glad. 26 The [consistently] righteous man is a guide to his neighbor, but the way of the wicked causes others to go astray. 27 The slothful man does not catch his game or roast it once he kills it, but the diligent man gets precious possessions. 28 Life is in the way of righteousness (moral and spiritual rectitude in every area and relation), and in its pathway there is no death but immortality (perpetual, eternal life).

The 7 Principles of Successful Partnering in the Age of AI Subscribe to our Newsletter:https://theultimatepartner.com/ebook-subscribe/Check Out UPX:https://theultimatepartner.com/experience/ In this engaging session, Vince Menzione reflects on his extensive career transitioning from direct enterprise sales to building massive channel ecosystems, while unveiling the seven core operating principles essential for modern partnering. Highlighting tectonic industry shifts—from the PC and Cloud eras to the current AI revolution—Vince explains how traditional playbooks are becoming obsolete and why adopting a growth mindset, modeled by leaders like Satya Nadella, is critical for survival. He delves into the rising importance of hyperscaler marketplaces and co-selling, urging leaders to cultivate adaptability (AQ), emotional intelligence (EQ), and mutual trust to thrive in this rapidly changing tech landscape. https://youtu.be/5n8dqiamnmE Key Takeaways Traditional industry playbooks are outdated almost immediately due to the rapid acceleration of AI and market changes. Implementing a “growth mindset” is a foundational operating principle that can transform corporate culture and drive massive valuation increases. Executive commitment and clarity of vision are mandatory for aligning an entire organization around successful partnering. Building a strong brand story and maintaining a maniacal focus on OKRs turns strategic vision into executed results. The technology landscape has experienced massive tectonic shifts from the PC era to the Cloud, Mobile, and now AI, requiring high adaptability (AQ). Mutual trust remains the non-negotiable foundation for any successful professional relationship or partnership. If you're ready to lead through change, elevate your business, and achieve extraordinary outcomes through the power of partnership—this is your community. At Ultimate Partner® we want leaders like you to join us in the Ultimate Partner Experience – where transformation begins. Key Tags Vince Menzione, growth mindset, Satya Nadella, channel building, tech ecosystem, tectonic shifts, AI revolution, co-selling strategies, hyperscaler marketplaces, organizational alignment, executive commitment, OKRs execution, AQ strategy, mutual trust, B2B technology Transcript [00:00:00] Vince Menzione: Because I think we’re all paralyzed by AI and all the changes that are going on in our world, and playbooks are no longer good because they’re outdated the week after they come out. [00:00:12] Vince Menzione: We just came back from Ultimate Partner live in Bellevue, Washington, where we hosted incredible leaders for two amazing days. Come join us for this next session where we explore the tectonic shifts we’ve all been seeing. What a list. Oh my gosh. I gotta tell you, I was just going back this morning and, and looking to see first of all the number, the sheer number is incredible. [00:00:36] Vince Menzione: But look at, look at all these top executives. These are, these are like market movers. The game changers. These are people that are doing more in our world, in our ecosystem than most others. And we are very fortunate to have the representation from these organizations. From these leaders in the room, and we try to curate an event that is more than a, a sales pitch. [00:01:00] Vince Menzione: We’re, in fact, we, we’re not a sales pitch. We’re all about, you know, helping you achieve more. And we try to frame that around operating principles. So, uh, a little bit of a roadmap lately. I mean, this started out like how did we get here in like, maybe five spots along the way. But, uh, for those of you who don’t know me and my background, and I’ve had an incredible career, I’ve been very blessed. [00:01:20] Vince Menzione: I did a startup that we grew from 6 million to 125 million. Went public on the Toronto Exchange. I’m still friends with the CEO, by the way. Helped, helped him grow and exit that company. Uh, I then followed one of the leaders there to go do a turnaround with Golden Gate Capital, and we took that and that’s where I built my first channel. [00:01:37] Vince Menzione: I went from doing enterprise sales as a direct seller, direct sales leader, VP to then going to building a channel. During nine 11, uh, this company was selling rugged notebook computers. Our biggest competitor was not a US company, and I spent a lot of time on Capitol Hill. I met with several congressmen and senators at a time when people did that, and they talked to each other. [00:01:58] Vince Menzione: And, uh, I built a channel. I got its a GSA schedule, and I understood. So I understood intuitively, even from that point in my career, how to move, how to shift from direct selling to building a channel, building a business around that. We became the growth engine of the company. One of my partners was one of the largest defense contractors, general Dynamics. [00:02:19] Vince Menzione: They had the big contract if you were selling to the US Army. And I knocked down the door basically and said, you got a partner with us. And that’s how we got the relationship established. And they wound up buying us for like 10 x what Golden Gate Capital had had spun us out for. And then Microsoft recruited me. [00:02:36] Vince Menzione: And for almost 10 years I was the GM of public sector partner strategy. And so I was, I was there and we’ll talk about Satya and other things, but I was there when we started the cloud. I was there when we pivoted the business from the old model and working with OEMs and trying to, to do things a different way to the cloud and co-selling and things like that. [00:02:56] Vince Menzione: And, uh, had a great experience. And then when I left I was like, oh, I’m just gonna go work for another big tech company. I started a podcast. I had a friend who said, you should do a podcast on partnering. You know a lot about this more than you probably think you do. And almost 10 years ago, I started a podcast in a spare bedroom. [00:03:13] Vince Menzione: And you know, it, it was, it built a following and there’s a lot of work, by the way, people, a lot of people do podcasts today. It was a lot of work for those of you. I congratulate anybody doing that. Uh, I went back inside for two years because I felt like I needed to go back into a big corporate environment. [00:03:29] Vince Menzione: And then I left during COVID and I learned a lot being at a big corporation about how hard it was to partner. Like it’s still hard. I don’t know how many people in the room feel this way. I know, I know the numbers are much better and Jay will talk through the numbers, but it’s not easy and a lot of organizations don’t understand it. [00:03:47] Vince Menzione: And that’s what we talk about here and we try to help people to achieve more and how to, how to get that mindset in the right place. But anyway, so. We started, we started doing the podcast after COVID, it took off. We did an event. Uh, there’s actually four of the five people that did partner. We called it Partner Mastermind. [00:04:06] Vince Menzione: We did an event about four years ago, uh, separately. And that led to Ultimate Partner. And it’s a long, the long history in the last four years of 10 events, like it’s been an incredible blast. And I want to thank each of you for being along this, this incredible ride with us as we continue to grow and expand. [00:04:24] Vince Menzione: We’ve been doubling every year for the last four years and um, I feel very blessed to be part of this. So I did wanna spend a minute with you on this. I don’t like the drain this slide, but I do wanna identify what I believe are seven operating principles of what makes successful partnering. And you know, you might say there’s eight, you might say there are other things I think about principles as opposed to tactics. [00:04:50] Vince Menzione: Tactics are transactional. They’re temporary and a point in time, and it’s how you respond and react to a situation. Principles are things you take with you, and that’s what we hope to do at Ultimate Partner. Take those things with you and then, then apply some of the things to the tactics that we need to have. [00:05:06] Vince Menzione: And so we talk about growth mindset. Uh, you know, depending on where you stand about Microsoft, these days, when this guy came in, stock was $36 a share. Okay. It’s in the four hundreds now. It was up to over 500 not long ago. He applied a different mindset. The first three things he did, Le got a copy of Carol Dweck’s book about mindset. [00:05:28] Vince Menzione: Growth mindset versus fixed mindset. Uh, he brought in Dr. Michael Vet, who’s a leading sports psychologist, like in, in the industry, who was the Seattle Seahawks sports psychologist. Mike’s been a podcast guest of mine. I’ve been to his studio. Um, and then he, we, he, he changed, he, he brought down, he took down the walls of the way Microsoft operated because leaders fought with each other. [00:05:51] Vince Menzione: They competed with each other for resources, for monetization, for everything. And he changed the mindset. Nobody’s a perfect CEO, but if I was to say to you who I think the best CEO of the last 10 years were, I’d give it to Saja Nadella, but it’s about mindset. It’s about changing or having the right mindset and applying that growth mindset to a successful partner. [00:06:12] Vince Menzione: Executive commitment, I talked about that. Other organizational will go nameless, but if you don’t, you can have the CEO down to the selling floor. Everyone needs to speak partnering, like in order to get it right in an organization. The whole company, the resources, the investments, the alignment, all has to align around partnering. [00:06:32] Vince Menzione: Executive commitment is incredible. Tony Saan took a small MSP to a half a billion dollar exit, took them to go, uh, Google Partner of the Year, seven straight years in a row. I think they’re eight this year. Uh, but Tony’s a good friend of mine. He is also been a guest on the podcast and, uh, somebody I’ve admired and worked with. [00:06:50] Vince Menzione: This is Dr. Michael Dravet. We talk about clarity, like once you get your mindset, once you get executive commitment, you then need to determine like how, what’s the vision? How do we drive success together? You need to turn, you need to know internally how to go do that. Then you lock arms with another organization and then you apply it to that partnership. [00:07:10] Vince Menzione: So that’s incredibly critical. Then, then you gotta do everything right? Like I always kid around about my days at Microsoft, we’d have these incredible meetings with leaders. They’d come meet with us at partner conference. I would literally go back to back for several days in the room. Slide deck after slide deck. [00:07:27] Vince Menzione: We’re high fiving at the end. [00:07:29] Vince Menzione: We’re gonna go do it [00:07:31] Vince Menzione: six months later. Crickets. Nothing happens, right? This happens a lot in partnering. Unfortunately, like we, we set up the right situation. We line everybody. We’re gonna go execute, we’re gonna drive results. You have to apply maniacal, focus, OKRs, everything to everything you do. [00:07:48] Vince Menzione: You need to apply. And by the way, you’re gonna hear from a lot of leaders here that do this type of work. So this is incredibly, uh, critical to success, brand and story. Like I wanna work with Microsoft. There’s gonna be probably 40 plus Microsoft leaders in the room, some of ’em sitting here and around the room. [00:08:06] Vince Menzione: How do you do that? Right? This is Ducks Raymond S. Good friend of mine at Point. I knew at point when they were just starting out. Scott Sackett is here. He’ll be up on stage. Uh, this man was expert on brand and story. Learn from people that are successful, how to be successful yourself, if you wanna be a top partner, if you wanna grow your business, whether you’re working with Microsoft, Google, Amazon, or any of the other partners in this room. [00:08:30] Vince Menzione: You need to be very clear about your brand, articulate it well, and drive a story against that. And that’s really super critical for success. And then once we do all those things, we start driving a flywheel of success. Aaron Feiger and some of the other people in the room, Reese Barry, are gonna be talking about how they do that. [00:08:47] Vince Menzione: They will help these organizations be successful. Pick putting that stake in the ground and driving it. And then what happens is after you drive this incredible success, what does my partner do? My tech giant, the company I’ve been working with, they go change everything. The market changes, the dynamics change. [00:09:05] Vince Menzione: This thing in November of 2022 called AI Happens, Chad, GBT hits the market. How do I respond and react to that? I need to be adaptable. I need to drive an AQ strategy on top of my EQ and iq, and we’ll talk more about that. So these are the operating principles, and we lay it out as a, as a diagram. And by the way, you see mutual trust. [00:09:26] Vince Menzione: Trust has to be in every room without trust, you have no partnerships, without trust, you have no business success. Like you can get buy in business, you can get buy in life, but trust is foundational. And I was very blessed to have that like grain ingrained in me as a young boy. Uh, so that’s our, that’s our operating principles. [00:09:48] Vince Menzione: Um, I’m working on a book right now. It’s almost done though. We’re, we’re talk, we’ll talk about that more, but that’s, that’ll be in the book. Um, and then we’ve been talking about tectonic shifts and I don’t know who said it first, Jay or, or me, but I know who you said it in the studio several years ago. [00:10:04] Vince Menzione: Jay’s been in our, our Boca studio many, many times. But we’ve been talking about tectonic shifts and Oh my gosh, right? So think about, I want everybody to think about this for a second. If you’ve been around tech for a while. We’ve gone through several, like these 10 year phases, the PC era, the cloud era, the well, the cloud. [00:10:23] Vince Menzione: We had client server, pc, client server, we had cloud, we had mobile, and now we hit ai. Those eras all took a period of time, right? They didn’t happen overnight. Like there was a trend like five, six years, seven years, maybe eight years, and then COVID happened, and I believe that COVID was the acceleration point because. [00:10:44] Vince Menzione: We were all forced to do things we didn’t do before. People went out and bought PCs that didn’t have them. Kids had to learn from home. Healthcare was administered tele telehealth, we didn’t do telehealth before. We had like 5% of the population to telehealth before that, uh, our work environment changed, right? [00:11:02] Vince Menzione: We were doing Zoom calls or teams calls back when I was at Microsoft Days, but the world started doing it. Our life started to change. That’s why being in the room places like this is so important. And so that really has accelerated everything. And this, you know, all these things have been accelerating over time and these are significant shifts. [00:11:22] Vince Menzione: We have the three leaders of the three marketplace organizations coming on stage here. Uh, the three hyperscalers, because marketplace went from, we were talking about it like, this is really cool. You need to go do it. A few years ago. So Microsoft lowering the rates on it, and then everything changed and then everybody started accelerating and it became the fungible token. [00:11:43] Vince Menzione: ’cause we used to, we used to partner, we used to take spreadsheets and put ’em up against each other and try to figure out deals and fax copies of deals that came in and say, we want credit for this one. And then Marketplace became a way to create a fun non fungible token. And really drive your success. [00:11:59] Vince Menzione: And so we have all the leaders that are running marketplaces in this room, by the way. So this is gonna be like the most incredible rich conversation. Co-selling. Co-selling is a, you know, a non-starter day. You have to co-sell it. People, we used to do vendor channel, which means I had somebody selling my stuff that’s not happening anymore. [00:12:19] Vince Menzione: And Jay, we’ll talk about the seven seats at the table. But this is all, these are all the things that have been changing. And of course, ai. I think that we are sitting here and I, I, I’ll share, and I’m stressing this, like this is, you need to be in this room because you’re gonna hear from leaders about what the next steps are. [00:12:35] Vince Menzione: ’cause I think we’re all paralyzed by AI and all the changes that are going on in our world and playbooks are no longer good because they’re outdated the week after they come out. So I need to, I need to follow this in real time. I think this is super important that you do, and it’s why we exist and it’s why this time is like no other. [00:12:53] Vince Menzione: I think, you know, we said maybe a generation, maybe it’s a lifetime in terms of the shifts that we’re seeing. So I, I kind of started here and I wanted to end here, uh, just because the light doesn’t go out. That’s what it’s all about. And this is it. This is it for me, right? This is my, my last run. I’m not gonna go work for a company after this. [00:13:16] Vince Menzione: I’m not gonna go into become a consultant. And I want this truly to be like special. And I want you to all feel like you’re part, you are part of it, and however much you wanna lean in and be part of it in the future, we want to grow this in the right way. I, I feel that we have an a unique opportunity. [00:13:34] Vince Menzione: Because we’re not a vendor, we’re not selling anything. I feel like we’re a platform. We’re that we’re that lighthouse and others can come in that are experts and I feel like more and more of ’em are showing up. And you know, the PDG guys did a great job today and others in the room and people that have been friends and supporting us for for years as on that sponsor slide. [00:13:56] Vince Menzione: And so we just want to continued this journey with each of you. Um, and so I want your feedback on what we’re doing. I want, I love your support. I love your passion. I love the fact that you’re still here in the room talking with, with or being here, listening to me today. Um, this is, that lighthouse is, you can see these pictures. [00:14:15] Vince Menzione: These are all family photos. Um, we go to that lighthouse, not because it’s a lighthouse, but uh, it happens to be like a landmark in our town. And, uh, it’s kind of cool. And actually the re Joe Namath has owns the restaurant across from the lighthouse, so we, we’ve got to see him a couple of times, which is kind of cool. [00:14:34] Vince Menzione: But I, I, I, I was posting this lighthouse when I started the podcast. And I was, yeah. ’cause that’s where I live and it’s my hometown. And I think about Dakota Rings and I think about other things. But, um, this is what matters. This is what matters is helping others. And we all are gonna need each other in this world because AI is gonna change our lives. [00:15:00] Vince Menzione: And dramatically it’s, I I think this is a once in a lifetime thing. But I think having people that you trust and being in the room with others where you can learn and grow and adapt, adaptability is so important. So, um, analog is the new digital as my, my good friend Gary V now says. And I think there’s this huge opportunity around what we do as ultimate partner to help everybody reach their pinnacle to everybody. [00:15:26] Vince Menzione: Be the ultimate partner. And I want to thank you for coming. I want your, thank you for your support, friendship, love. And, uh, you’re just an incredible group. Thank you. [00:15:41] Vince Menzione: Until next time, we’ll see you in person. Hopefully at our next event.

In 1973, there was huge cultural event called, "The Battle of the Sexes." It was a tennis match between 55-year-old, Bobby Riggs, a former Wimbledon and U.S. champion, and 29-year-old, Billy Jean King, who had won multiple Grand Slam championships.   Their match was in response to the woman's liberation movement and King's push for equal pay and respect for women's sports. Riggs said even though he was old and "washed," he could still beat King in her prime. He was wrong. King beat him in straight sets.   Well, that "battle" pales in comparison to the battle of the sexes being played out in today's culture. Men and women, especially in the dating world, are at each other's throats.   So, in this 3-part series of podcasts, Roy Biancalana, our host, tries to resolve the conflict by discussing the real meaning of masculine and feminine.   In this final episode of the series, we explore: ·      Divas, damsels, and Deceivers, and other false versions of the feminine; ·      Mothers, mavens, and mystics, and other true versions of the feminine; ·      The difference between nannies, nurturers and nice girls; ·      How to embody the divine feminine in your special way.   These and other important issues are explored in this episode, so don't miss it!   Additional Resources Roy may have mentioned on the show:   Roy's Website: https://coachingwithroy.com   Roy's Relationship Fitness Self-Assessment Test: https://coachingwithroy.com/the-relationship-fitness-self-test/   Roy's 4 Books: ·      Quantum Questions: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0F4RFZBS3/ ·      Relationship Bootcamp: https://amzn.to/360UsMR ·      Attracting Lasting Love: http://amzn.to/1UnYeYh ·      A Drink with Legs: https://amzn.to/31UBl3K     Roy's Group Coaching Program: https://coachingwithroy.com/group-coaching/   Roy's Complimentary 45-min.

The way we care for ourselves today shapes the life we're able to live tomorrow. In this heartfelt conversation, Dr. Michelle Robin and Bayleigh Soza sit down with Dr. Eric Phillips, chiropractor, business owner, husband, and father, to explore what it means to pursue health with intention. Dr. Eric shares how fatherhood transformed his perspective on wellness, shifting it from personal goals to creating a life where he can remain present, active, and connected for generations to come. Together, they discuss the power of small, consistent habits, the importance of being where your feet are, the role of community in personal growth, and why true health extends beyond the physical body. Through stories of family, resilience, and lifelong learning, this episode offers a powerful reminder that investing in your well-being isn't selfish—it's one of the greatest gifts you can give yourself and those you love.  Key Takeaways:   Your health is not just for you—it impacts how you show up for your family, relationships, and community.   Small, consistent habits often create greater long-term results than chasing the perfect wellness routine.   Being fully present and "where your feet are" helps improve both personal well-being and relationships.   Community, mentorship, and meaningful connections provide support, growth, and accountability throughout life.   Prioritizing preventive wellness today can help create a stronger, healthier, and more capable future.   We couldn't highlight incredible stories like this without the support of our sponsor, CommunityAmerica Credit Union. Thank you for helping us promote connection, well-being, and stronger communities. If you're looking for trusted financial wellbeing resources, we invite you to connect with their team and take the next step toward greater financial confidence.  About Dr. Eric Phillips:  Dr. Eric Phillips is the co-owner of Identity Integrative Health and Everyday Athlete Health Club in Overland Park, Kansas, where he helps individuals and families move better, feel stronger, and pursue long-term health through an integrated approach to chiropractic care, rehab, movement, and wellness.   But more than anything, Eric is a husband and father of two who is deeply passionate about helping people live fully and stay present for the moments that matter most. His work and message center around health not just as a way to avoid pain, but as a foundation for energy, connection, purpose, and longevity.   Through both his clinic and personal platform, Eric speaks openly about fatherhood, balance, mental and physical health, and the importance of building a life you can fully participate in — now and for years to come.  Connect with Dr. Eric Phillips at:  https://identityih.com/    https://www.everydayathletehc.com/    https://www.youtube.com/@identitychiropractic   Connect with Dr. Michelle and Bayleigh at:  https://smallchangesbigshifts.com  hello@smallchangesbigshifts.com  https://www.linkedin.com/company/smallchangesbigshifts  https://www.facebook.com/SmallChangesBigShifts  https://www.instagram.com/smallchangesbigshiftsco  https://www.youtube.com/@smallchangesbigshiftsco    Thanks for listening!  Thanks so much for listening to our podcast!

Tier 1 Turp on the dynamics of supermax contracts in roster construction

This week, NK News CEO Chad O'Carroll and Chris Green of International Crisis Group join the podcast to discuss a Seoul court's decision to sentence former South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol to 30 years in prison, finding that he orchestrated a drone operation that sought to provoke a North Korean response and create a pretext for declaring martial law. The episode also explores Chinese President Xi Jinping's recent visit to Pyongyang, the absence of denuclearization from official summit readouts, China's increasingly pragmatic approach to North Korea's nuclear status and the prospects for expanded trade, tourism and people-to-people exchanges.  Finally, Chad and Chris preview the upcoming West Coast Exchange, a three-day gathering of Korea watchers, diplomats, journalists, academics and policymakers. They discuss the event's emphasis on informal networking and field visits, the value of off-the-record conversations and why participants often gain as much from discussions outside the conference room as they do from the formal sessions. About the podcast: The NK News Podcast is a weekly podcast hosted by Alannah Hill exclusively for NK News, covering the latest developments in and around North Korea. Each episode breaks down the week's news cycle with NK News journalists, analysts and expert guests.
