In this episode, Lisa and Stephen discuss:Entrepreneurial mindset development for comprehensive student growthCareer readiness beyond traditional educational frameworksSoft skills as critical professional success indicatorsFamily's strategic role in cultivating adaptive thinking skillsKey Takeaways: Entrepreneurial skills can be intentionally developed through a framework of four interconnected pillars: growth mindset, grit, redefining failure, and seeking opportunities, all of which reshape how students approach challenges and growth.Embedding student-run business experiences within schools creates a powerful learning model that equips students with practical skills, teamwork, and real-world problem-solving beyond traditional academics.The idea of “follow your passion” is misleading, as true passion is cultivated through skill-building, consistent practice, and long-term commitment.Crafting a clear family mission and defined core values empowers teens with resilience and a decision-making framework for navigating personal and professional challenges. “We're not just churning out entrepreneurs. We are helping students think like entrepreneurs. So, this was about compiling, condensing, and then really synthesizing.” – Stephen CarterAbout Stephen Carter: Stephen Carter is the Director of Entrepreneurship at Cincinnati Hills Christian Academy, where he oversees a nationally recognized program with fifteen elective courses, a full certificate track, and six supporting student-run businesses.Stephen is also the founder of Seed Tree Group, where he works with K-12 Christian schools to develop entrepreneurial programs based around the model of redemptive entrepreneurship.His mission is to develop the entrepreneurial mindset in all learners, so they are radically transformed to impact their lives. His book, Teaching the Entrepreneurial Mindset, details the impact made on learners when they are given real-world, practical skills and a clear path to success.Episode References:Grit by Angela Duckworth: https://angeladuckworth.com/grit-book/Carol Dweck on How Growth Mindsets Can Bear Fruit in the Classroom: https://www.psychologicalscience.org/observer/dweck-growth-mindsetsCareer Development Readiness Quiz: https://flourishcoachingco.com/quizGet Lisa's Free on-demand video: How-to guide for your teen to choose the right major, college, & career...(without painting themselves into a corner, missing crucial deadlines, or risking choices you both regret). flourishcoachingco.com/video Connect with Stephen:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/seedtreegroupWebsite: http://seedtreegroup.com/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stephen-carter-seedtree/Connect with Lisa:Website: https://www.flourishcoachingco.com/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@flourishcoachingcoInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/flourishcoachingco/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/flourish-coaching-co

Episode Summary: In a justice system often obsessed with risk scores and compliance checklists, what happens when we stop and ask a deeper question: How have you survived? In this powerful episode, Joseph Arvidson sits down with Dr. Charlie Barnao, sociologist, ethnographer, and professor at the University of Palermo, to explore the hidden strength behind the stories of justice-involved individuals. Dr. Barnao spent 15 years living in a halfway house—not observing from the outside, but embedded in the day-to-day realities of those navigating the margins. His work on the Sociology of Survival offers a critical lens for probation, parole, and correctional professionals who want to truly understand resilience, identity, and change. Together, they dive into: What survival looks like in environments of exclusion and stigma How resilience and identity are built—and rebuilt—through supervision Why qualitative insights (real stories) matter as much as data points How the wrong labels can blur the professional lens—and harm outcomes Direct ties to the TIDES Supervision Model pillars of Resiliency, Identity, and Social Support This episode challenges listeners to see beyond behavior—to recognize survival as strength, and to partner with that strength to create real, lasting change. Whether you're a probation officer, trainer, policymaker, or simply passionate about justice transformation—this conversation will reframe how you think about your work. Guest Bio: Dr. Charlie Barnao is a Professor of Sociology at the University of Palermo (Italy), a scholar in cultural and communicative processes, and an ethnographer dedicated to exploring social marginality, survival, and resilience. His immersive research brings critical insights into how individuals adapt to exclusion and how systems can better support real transformation.   Key Topics Covered: Understanding the “Sociology of Survival” Lessons for probation and correctional practice Why language matters: Labeling Theory and client identity Building resilience and belonging through supervision Embedding hope and belief into justice work Connections to the TIDES Supervision Model pillars Connect with Joseph Arvidson:

In dieser Jubiläumsfolge beleuchtet Lukas Schöne, wie sich die Videonutzung in Deutschland verändert und was das für Anbieter bedeutet. Dafür fasst er zusammen, was beim MEDIENTAGE Event-Special „Future Video“ besprochen wurde. Sophie Pastowski (Deloitte) brachte aktuelle Zahlen mit, Sabine Anger (Paramount) sprach über flexible Bezahlmodelle, und Marco Hellberg (Canal+) plädierte für Partnerschaften, die den Markt insgesamt stärken.

Season 8 continues with a conversation about the new strategic direction at the David Eccles School of Business with a particular focus on student success. Jessica Taverna is the Associate Dean of Undergraduate Programs at the David Eccles School of Business. Frances and Jessica explore the department's comprehensive approach to enhancing the student experience, including new programs, retention strategies, and the importance of developing durable skills such as communication, resilience, and critical thinking. Jessica elaborates on reimagined programs like Business Scholars and Rising Business Leaders, emphasizing the need to create an integrated student experience that prepares students not just for immediate academic success, but for long-term career accomplishments and personal growth.Eccles Business Buzz is a production of the David Eccles School of Business and is produced by University fm.Episode Quotes:Jessica discusses what it means to have student success as the leading strategic priority in the planning process of the Eccles School[03:16] Looking at ways that we can involve students in faculty research. Involve students in the work that our centers and institutes are doing that are impacting the community or in corporate partners, but also have a space for students to be part of that experience. And that's really one of the great ways that we can leverage those things to enhance the student experience.Embedding students in a community[07:37] We really focus on the whole student and we really think about, how do we embed students in a community, which supports them in developing some of these other skills, like resilience, for example, that makes getting through the classes easier? It makes getting to graduation in a timely manner easier if you're also being supported and feeling like a whole person and a well person and someone who belongs to a community. And then that community experience, you're in classes with people, you're joining clubs with people, you're interacting with faculty and staff in workshops and luncheons, that then translates into your network, which I think is the other main thing that we deliver that is key to student success, is this group of people that are going to be, you never know who's going to be that person that's going to help you get that first job or the second job or the internship. [08:43] I think universities and the business school, the programming, both in the classroom and outside, creates this environment where you get embedded in a community and then that community becomes your network.Eccles School addresses the skills gap by equipping students with essential durable skills employers need[06:43] Employers highlighted one of the key challenges with what they're seeing with college grads is a lack of these durable skills. And I really love that term. We're talking about things like communication, interpersonal skills, even things like resilience, a little bit of grit, understanding how to bounce back from challenges, critical thinking, creativity, right? All of these things that we've, again, previously called soft skills, but are really core to life. And I love the term “durable” because I think it signifies, one, these endure through all aspects of your life. This isn't just even about your job. It's also things that you need in personal relationships. And if you're volunteering, other roles that you might have and they endure throughout your life. And so, a university education in a space like the Eccles School is differently positioned to actually do the work of building those kinds of skills in students.Equipping the students with a learning mindset to prepare them for the future.[34:55] I think the most important thing is mindset, and it's a learning mindset. What we need to be doing is helping students understand that at the end of the day, the most important thing is less that you've mastered a specific software tool or specific AI platform or model, but that you understand how these things work in general. Show Links:Jessica Taverna | LinkedInJessica Taverna | Faculty Profile at the David Eccles School of BusinessDavid Eccles School of Business (@ubusiness) | InstagramUndergraduate Scholars ProgramsRising Business LeadersEccles Alumni Network (@ecclesalumni) | Instagram Eccles Experience Magazine

For more than three decades, trailblazing artist and activist Joyce J. Scott has elevated the creative potential of beadwork as a relevant contemporary art form. Scott uses off-loom, hand-threaded glass beads to create striking figurative sculptures, wall hangings, and jewelry informed by her African American ancestry, the craft traditions of her family (including her mother, renowned quilter Elizabeth T. Scott), and traditional Native American techniques, such as the peyote stitch. Each object that Scott creates is a unique, vibrant, and challenging work of art developed with imagination, wit, and sly humor. Born to sharecroppers in North Carolina who were descendants of enslaved people, Scott's family migrated to Baltimore, Maryland, where the artist was born and raised. Scott hales from a long line of makers with extraordinary craftsmanship adept at pottery, knitting, metalwork, basketry, storytelling, and quilting. It was from her family that the young artist cultivated the astonishing skills and expertise for which she is now renowned, and where she learned to upcycle all materials, repositioning craft as a forceful stage for social commentary and activism. In the 1990s, Scott began working with glass artisans to create blown, pressed, and cast glass that she incorporated into her beaded sculptures. This not only allowed her to increase the scale of her work, but also satisfied her desire to collaborate. In 1992, she was invited to the Pilchuck Glass School, Stanwood, Washington. Continuing her interest in glass, Scott has worked with local Baltimore glassblowers as well as with flameworking pioneer Paul Stankard and other celebrated glass fabricators. In 2012, Goya Contemporary Gallery arranged to have Scott work at Adriano Berengo's celebrated glass studio on the island of Murano in Italy, creating works that were part of the exhibition Glasstress through the Venice Biennale. Scott has worn many hats during her illustrious career: quilter, performance artist, printmaker, sculptor, singer, teacher, textile artist, recording artist, painter, writer, installation artist, and bead artist. Her wide-ranging body of work has crossed styles and mediums, from the most intricate beaded form to large-scale outdoor installation. Whether social or political, the artist's subject matter reflects her narrative of what it means to be Black in America.  Scott continues to live and work in Baltimore, Maryland. She received a BFA from the Maryland Institute College of Art and an MFA from Instituto Allende in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico. Selected solo museum exhibitions include The Baltimore Museum of Art (2024); Seattle Art Museum (2024 – 2025); and Grounds for Sculpture (2018), Trenton, NJ. She is the recipient of myriad commissions, grants, awards, residencies, and prestigious honors including from the National Endowment for the Arts, Louis Comfort Tiffany Foundation, Anonymous Was a Woman, American Craft Council, National Living Treasure Award, Lifetime Achievement Award from the Women's Caucus for the Arts, Mary Sawyers Imboden Baker Award, MacArthur Foundation Fellowship (2016), Smithsonian Visionary Artist Award, National Academy of Design Induction, and Moore College Visionary Woman Award, among others. In March of 2024, Scott opened a major 50-year traveling Museum retrospective titled Joyce J. Scott: Walk a Mile in My Dreams co-organized by the Baltimore Museum of Art and Seattle Art Museum. Also in 2024, Scott opened Bearing Witness: A History of Prints by Joyce J Scott at Goya Contemporary Gallery. Her latest exhibition, Joyce J. Scott: Messages, opened at The Chrysler Museum of Art on February 6, 2025 and will run through August 17, 2025 at the Glass Projects Space. This exhibition is organized by Mobilia Gallery, Cambridge, MA. Says Carolyn Swan Needell, the Chrysler Museum's Barry Curator of Glass: “We are thrilled to host this focused traveling exhibition here in Norfolk at the very moment when Scott's brilliant career is being recognized more widely, through a retrospective of her work that is co-organized by the Baltimore Museum of Art and the Seattle Museum of Art.”  In Messages, 34 remarkable beaded works of art spanning the artist's career express contemporary issues and concepts. Included in the show is Scott's recent beaded neckpiece, War, What is it Good For, Absolutely Nothin', Say it Again (2022). A technical feat in peyote stitch, infused with color and texture, this multilayered and intricate beadwork comments on violence in America. Embedding cultural critique within the pleasurable experience of viewing a pristinely crafted object, Scott's work mines history to better understand the present moment. The visual richness of Scott's objects starkly contrasts with the weight of the subject matter that they explore. She says: “I am very interested in raising issues…I skirt the borders between comedy, pathos, delight, and horror. I believe in messing with stereotypes, prodding the viewer to reassess, inciting people to look and then carry something home – even if it's subliminal – that might make a change in them.”

Today, Steve sits down with Duncan Wardle, the former head of innovation and creativity at Disney. Duncan talks to Steve about his current work teaching leaders to embrace creativity and inspire innovation in their teams. He suggests practical ways that leaders can create a more collaborative and fun work culture that will lead to more successful outcomes and enhance their teams' job fulfillment. Key Takeaways: We're all born with creativity, and a great leader can unlock it within people who may have lost it along the way.   Creativity is the ability to have an idea; innovation is the ability to get that idea done.  With AI, we have the opportunity to hand off mundane tasks and give ourselves time to think, be creative, and innovate.  Tune in to hear more about: Why it matters to say “yes, and…” instead of “no, because…”  The impact of AI on creativity and innovation Actions leaders can take to spark more creativity within their organizations Standout Quotes: “I define creativity as the ability to have an idea, and I think we can all do that every day. I define innovation as the ability to get that done. That's the hard part.” - Duncan Wardle  “As leaders, we have responsibilities, we've got quarterly results, we've got bosses, we've got – but if the first two words out of our mouth are ‘no, because,' they're the first two words when somebody comes at us with a new idea, they're not coming back in the door again, and they may have genius next week or next-. Just remind ourselves as leaders, we're not green lighting this idea for execution today. We're merely green housing it together, using ‘Yes, and.' As leaders, if we can use ‘Yes, and' before ‘No, because' you can completely and utterly change your culture.” - Duncan Wardle “Algorithms, and everything that AI will bring to the table, will merge with the human race, creativity, intuition, empathy, imagination, etc, we will merge to become a superhuman race.” - Duncan Wardle Mentioned in this episode: ISF Analyst Insight Podcast Read the transcript of this episode Subscribe to the ISF Podcast wherever you listen to podcasts Connect with us on LinkedIn and Twitter From the Information Security Forum, the leading authority on cyber, information security, and risk management.

Teachers and school leaders often feel like they have to be “everything to everyone”. Not only are educators expected to deliver high-quality instruction in traditional academic areas, they're also expected to provide social-emotional support, vocational training, and everything in between.When it comes to supporting mental health, this can be a tricky ethical line to walk when you're trained as a teacher and not as a clinician. Additionally, school staff are constantly trying to manage their own mental health needs, which is a challenge when the public tends to be unforgiving. That's why I invited Dr. Hayley Watson to episode 198 of De Facto Leaders to talk about how to help teachers support mental health in a way that falls within their scope. Dr. Hayley Watson is the founder and CEO of Open Parachute, a Tier 1 K-12 curriculum program that supports the mental health of students, teachers, and parents. She is also an author and Clinical Psychologist and holds a PhD in school bullying interventions. She has been creating and delivering programs for youth and practitioners across the US, Canada, the UK, and Australia for the past 20 years.In this conversation, we discuss:✅Special education accommodations feel like “extra” work for teachers: Embedding mental health into Tier 1 curriculum solves this problem.✅Why talking about mental health in general education helps educate peers on diverse learning needs.✅Destigmatizing mental health and giving youth the language to talk about self-regulation and self-care. ✅Service delivery models: Why we need BOTH structured, explicit intervention and real-life practice in social-emotional curriculums.You can learn more about Open Parachute and Dr. Watson's mental health curriculum for schools on her website here: https://openparachuteschools.com/Listen to her TEDx talk “Youth Mental Health is not as complicated as we make it out to be” here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QVZdMXK4kvk&t=2shttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QVZdMXK4kvk&t=2sConnect with Dr. Watson on LinkedIn here: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dr-hayley-watson-2b249a16/In this conversation, I mentioned this previous episode: EP 151: Does your system support your policy and your curriculum (with Jalita Johnson) here: https://drkarendudekbrannan.com/ep-151-does-your-system-support-your-policy-and-your-curriculum-with-jalita-johnson/In this episode, I mention the School of Clinical Leadership, my program that helps related service providers develop a strategic plan for putting executive functioning support in place in collaboration with their school teams.

The latest episode of Redefining CyberSecurity on ITSPmagazine featured a thought-provoking discussion about integrating human factors into secure software development. Host Sean Martin was joined by Dr. Kelsey Fulton, Assistant Professor at the Colorado School of Mines, and Julie Haney, a computer scientist at the National Institute of Standards and Technology. The conversation explored how human-centered approaches can strengthen secure software practices and address challenges in the development process.A Human-Centered Approach to SecurityDr. Fulton shared how her research focuses on the human factors that impact secure software development. Her journey began during her graduate studies at the University of Maryland, where she was introduced to the intersection of human behavior and security in a course that sparked her interest. Her projects, such as investigating the transition from C to Rust programming languages, underscore the complexity of embedding security into the software development lifecycle.The Current State of Secure DevelopmentOne key takeaway from the discussion was the tension between functionality and security in software development. Developers often prioritize getting a product to market quickly, leading to decisions that sideline security considerations. Dr. Fulton noted that while developers typically have good intentions, they often lack the resources, tools, and organizational support necessary to incorporate security effectively.She highlighted the need for a “security by design” approach, which integrates security practices from the earliest stages of development. Embedding security specialists within development teams can create a cultural shift where security becomes a shared responsibility rather than an afterthought.Challenges in Adoption and EducationDr. Fulton's research reveals significant obstacles to adopting secure practices, including the complexity of tools and the lack of comprehensive education for developers. Even advanced tools like static analyzers and fuzzers are underutilized. A major barrier is developers' perception that security is not their responsibility, compounded by tight deadlines and organizational pressures.Additionally, her research into Rust adoption at companies illuminated technical and organizational challenges. Resistance often stems from the cost and complexity of transitioning existing systems, despite Rust's promise of enhanced security and memory safety.The Future of Human-Centered SecurityLooking ahead, Dr. Fulton emphasized the importance of addressing how developers trust and interact with tools like large language models (LLMs) for code generation. Her team is exploring ways to enhance these tools, ensuring they provide secure code suggestions and help developers recognize vulnerabilities.The episode concluded with a call to action for organizations to support research in this area and cultivate a security-first culture. Dr. Fulton underscored the potential of collaborative efforts between researchers, developers, and companies to improve security outcomes.By focusing on human factors and fostering supportive environments, organizations can significantly advance secure software development practices.____________________________Guests: Dr. Kelsey Fulton, Assistant Professor of Computer Science at the Colorado School of MinesWebsite | https://cs.mines.edu/project/fulton-kelsey/Julie Haney, Computer scientist and Human-Centered Cybersecurity Program Lead, National Institute of Standards and Technology [@NISTcyber]On LinkedIn | https://www.linkedin.com/in/julie-haney-037449119/____________________________Host: Sean Martin, Co-Founder at ITSPmagazine [@ITSPmagazine] and Host of Redefining CyberSecurity Podcast [@RedefiningCyber]On ITSPmagazine | https://www.itspmagazine.com/sean-martin____________________________View This Show's SponsorsImperva | https://itspm.ag/imperva277117988LevelBlue | https://itspm.ag/levelblue266f6cThreatLocker | https://itspm.ag/threatlocker-r974___________________________Watch this and other videos on ITSPmagazine's YouTube ChannelRedefining CyberSecurity Podcast with Sean Martin, CISSP playlist:

Lisen Wirén is a sustainable business leader with over 15 years of industry experience. Her extensive background includes tackling labour migration and human rights issues in South East Asia and advancing sustainability in product design and working with social entrepreneurship. Her leadership led IKEA to win the most sustainable retailer award and a nomination for Wirén for the prestigious Sustainability Manager of the Year award in the Netherlands. Key to her approach is the seamless integration of sustainability into every function and team to reach the set organizational goals. She is based in Helsingborg, Sweden. Pia Heidenmark Cook is a Senior Advisor with Teneo, working with the ESG and Sustainability team to advise clients on how to develop and operationalise sustainability strategies and the implications for reputation strategies. Prior to Teneo, Pia was the Chief Sustainability Officer for IKEA, where she led the development and implementation of the IKEA People and Planet Positive strategy. Her cross-functional team worked closely with the business on developing circular business models (including take back offers, leasing and second hand), launching new sustainable offers (such as selling solar panels across 14 markets) and helping customers to live more sustainable and healthier lives. During this time, IKEA ranked in the top three most sustainable brands and managed to decouple carbon dioxide emissions from its commercial growth across the value chain. Pia and Lisen Join Sustainable Nation to Discuss: Their co-authored book, Embedding Sustainability First steps for companies getting started with sustainability, including engaging stakeholders Tips for incorporating sustainability into each employee's day to day job and tying these actions to sustainability objectives Advice and recommendations for sustainability professionals Pia and Lisen's Final Five Questions Responses: What is one piece of advice you would give other sustainability professionals that might help them in their careers?  Pia: I would start by saying understanding that sustainability and working with sustainability is as much about technical competence to understand the topic and all its facets as it is about change management and understanding how to work with people and change management.  Lisen: This field has become very much about reporting and that's something Pia and I have discussed quite a lot and of course that's very important and that's something that is driving sustainability and is also a wake up call for many businesses. But I would also encourage sustainability managers to try not to get too stuck in that, but to involve other relevant functions to support with the reporting so that they can still keep a strategic focus and lead the sustainability agenda. What we see is that the sustainability leader, manager, CSO, should be orchestrating the change, um, rather than getting too stuck in reporting. What are you most excited about right now in the world of sustainability? That  Pia: That it's becoming more and more mainstream. We're still not doing enough, but most people just know that it's here to stay, it's something we need to deal with. There's  levels of how deep the integration is and how far they come, but people are not questioning that the long-term direction is that companies need to deal with social and environmental issues to stay in business and be relevant.  Lisen: One of the persons that we interview is a designer and she talks about that 80% of the climate footprint sits in the design stage. For me that really triggers something for me to think about the real opportunity that sits within circularity. When designers and product developers and architects and so on, when they are opening up their eyes for the possibilities of circularity and getting excited about the creativity and innovation that that requires, I think there's unlimited possibilities.  What is one book you'd recommend sustainability professionals read?  Pia: I would say a mix of books that paint a picture of 'why' to more CSO handbooks. Books that are more hands-on, painting the picture of the environmental challenges or the social challenges so you build that knowledge, to those where where you get practical, concrete examples from others that have done the work. I think it's a lot about recognizing different situations and learning from them to get tools to keep doing the change journey yourself. I would also recommend one of the many books by Berne Brown about leadership and personal leadership and being your authentic self.  Lisen: I would go for a more action oriented solution-focused book, and that one is called Exponential Climate Solutions by Rebecka Carlsson. She's a Swedish author and she started at Singularity University and focused on different solutions that can have an exponential development. That's a very interesting, practical hands-on book with loads of examples.  What are some of your favorite resources or tools that really help you in your work?  Pia: Talking to people, meeting people, listening to people. Maybe not a lot of newsletters, of course to stay updated, but really the dialogue when you listen and talk to people and learn from them.  Lisen: To compliment that answer, one of the advices or suggestions that we give in the last part of the book is actually to sometimes look at what you need for yourself to keep on going, since this is not a sprint, but it's rather a marathon. You need to be able to last long as a leader, and one tool to do so can also be to sometimes zoom out from negative news and practice basically a news detox, trying to focus on the long-term positive improvements that are happening and that might not be an phone alert. Balance the negative news with some positive long-term development.  Where can our listeners go to learn more about both of you and your book? Embeddingsustainability.com or our LinkedIn pages.

What are the ethical responsibilities of designers today and what long-term impacts do they need to consider as they design? Who does the label of ‘designer' actually apply to?Scott Doorley and Carissa Carter are designers, writers, and educators. Scott is the Creative Director and Carissa is the Academic Director and an Adjunct Professor at Stanford University's d.school. They are also co-authors of the new book Assembling Tomorrow: A Guide to Designing a Thriving Future from the Stanford d.school.Greg, Scott, and Carissa discuss the evolution and impact of design thinking, the pervasive nature of design in today's world, and the importance of being intentional with design choices. They also highlight key concepts from their book such as the significance of noticing unintended consequences, embracing awkwardness, and understanding the role of constraints in the design process. *unSILOed Podcast is produced by University FM.*Show Links:Recommended Resources:Stanford D.SchoolNeedfinding for Wicked ProblemsMarc AndreessenUnSILOed Episode 03: Charles O'Reilly IIIGuest Profile:Scott Doorley Stanford D.

If you get it so-called right, something's going to change outside of you that's going to render it not effectual,  in some matter of time. Or you're going to get that right, but you're going to miss something else. I was talking to a guy who teaches here, and he teaches entrepreneurs, and he was saying, “You're going to fail somewhere. It might be at your business, it might be at your family, it might be at your health, but if you're really trying to do something hard, there's going to be failure.” So you just have to get used to it, acknowledge it, and then work with it. You've got to accept it as part of the design because it is.We are all designers03:34:[Carissa Carter] Whether you are a person that designs things, systems, or technologies, whether or not you call yourself a designer in your job title, if you are a part of making things and bringing them into the world, that's design work, and it's really important to pay attention to that.Navigating design in a world of constraints42:03: [Scott Doorley] The idea of transcending constraints is appealing, but what designers are doing is shifting the realm of what they're saying—no, these are the constraints that matter; this other one that we thought mattered doesn't matter. And they're really just hell-bent on figuring out: what is the set of constraints that work?Embedding vision into everyday actions42:03: [Scott Doorley] This ability to go big and go detailed can't be overstated because that's where things start to feel congruent, right? If I say, "Oh, my organization believes in X," but that's not coming through in the way someone's greeted when they come to the door, it's just going to feel off, and it just doesn't feel right. It just doesn't feel good. So that ability to be like, "Okay, not only are we going to have a vision, but we're going to embed it in the day-to-day that we do." You could think of that as parenting. That's sort of how a teacher sets up a classroom. That's clearly how a leader should lead an organization, in my opinion, because then you don't have to talk about the values—they're there. It's a hard thing to do. Frankly, sometimes I'd feel like we're on it. Sometimes I feel like we're missing the mark. It's not a static thing. You have to keep iterating and keep responding to what's going on.

In this Iron Culture, Sigma Nutrition Radio, SNA crossover, Dr. Joe Klemczewski returns! Dr. Joe, possibly the first online bodybuilding coach and person to advise clients to track macros before IIFYM was an acronym, joins us to reflect on the past and help us navigate the future. In the modern information age, there is more information than ever, which is a good thing, right? Perhaps, except that there is also more misinformation and disinformation than ever as well. While the evidence-based movement solved the problem of information inadequacy, we now face a much more complex problem of information illiteracy. What can you do to better navigate the “fake news” littering all aspects of social media, especially the nutrition space, and how can you facilitate better critical thinking in your clients and followers to reduce the likelihood they will undertake harmful diets? In this episode we tackle just that, discussing how paying attention to history and social changes can provide protection against modern fads.   Time stamps: 00:00 Danny, Erich?

What if five minutes could change everything about how you lead, connect, and thrive? In today's episode, I reveal the powerful daily gratitude practice that shifted my mindset from scarcity to abundance—fueling not only my own growth, but transforming my team dynamics and leadership resilience. If you're ready for a simple, impactful habit to elevate your life and work, this post is for you! Here's a quick look at how gratitude can revolutionize your life and leadership, just as it did for me. 1. Gratitude Enhances Mental and Emotional Well-Being Gratitude has profound effects on mental health, reducing anxiety and depression while boosting overall mood. In this episode, I begin by sharing how this practice helped me refocus from a scarcity mindset—where stress and fear of “not enough” clouded my vision—to one of abundance and peace. Listing just a few daily “wins” and things I'm grateful for gives my mind a positive focal point and sets the tone for my day. Practicing gratitude helps you focus on what you have, rather than what you lack, cultivating a mindset that energizes and uplifts both you and your team.

Fostering Team Relationships through Gratitude Integrating gratitude in a team setting doesn't just enhance your day, but strengthens your team dynamics. I found that a simple habit of sharing appreciation with my team, both in private conversations and during meetings, lifted our collective spirit. This genuine acknowledgment brought cohesion and positivity to our interactions, boosting communication and morale. With everyone aligned and motivated, our work flowed better, and the energy shifted toward collaborative success, building a work environment that supports growth and achievement. 3. Building Resilience as a Leader With gratitude as a grounding practice, I noticed an increased resilience to daily challenges. For instance, when obstacles like travel delays or sudden issues arose, my gratitude practice allowed me to pause, reframe, and face these situations with a calmer, more adaptive mindset. Instead of letting stressful moments dictate my mood, I embraced each challenge as a lesson, focusing on what was still within my control. This approach not only supported my emotional regulation but also set a positive example for my team, showing them how to navigate challenges effectively. 4. Long-Term Leadership Impact Sticking to my gratitude practice has had a long-lasting impact on my leadership style, making me a more empathetic, balanced, and approachable leader. The effects extended beyond my professional life, enhancing my relationships as a parent, spouse, and friend. Embedding gratitude into your routine has a ripple effect—it supports personal growth and allows you to lead from a place of compassion and joy, ultimately making a positive impact on your entire team and community. 5. Start Your Own 5-Minute Gratitude Practice The episode outlines a straightforward gratitude practice: reflecting on past wins, listing things you're grateful for now, and setting intentions for the day. This five-minute habit can be done verbally, digitally, or in a journal and serves as a daily reset, focusing your energy on the positives. By committing to this practice, you'll find shifts in mindset and improved emotional regulation that benefit your leadership style, relationships, and personal growth. To dive deeper, listen to the full episode, and discover how gratitude can transform your leadership and inspire those around you. And if you remember nothing else from this gratitude practice, remember this: what you focus on grows. Start each day by honoring the good, and watch how it attracts more positivity, resilience, and connection into your life and leadership.   No, You Hang Up First (Let's Keep Connecting) Did today's episode resonate with you?
