Drawing from personal experiences and the wisdom of Carl Honoré and Dr. Hannah Yang, I share moments when distractions took center stage over being truly present with my family. We explore how liberating ourselves from the anxieties of the future and past regrets can transform our connections. 

We aren't superhuman. In a culture that tells us that there are no limits, we need to embrace the natural limitations that God has given. Once we lean into trusting Him and embracing our limitations, the supernatural occurs.

"Once a quarter, I buy my own company. I step back and ask—what works, what doesn't, and where the opportunity is." — Hannah Kain, CEO of ALOM What does it take to turn a nascent idea in an unfamiliar country into a global success? In this episode of On the Brink with Andi Simon, I had the pleasure of speaking with Hannah Kain, CEO and President of ALOM, a trailblazing supply chain company that began in 1997 and now operates across 20 global locations. Hannah's story is more than a business success—it's a masterclass in innovation, agility, and values-driven leadership. A Leap of Faith—a Vision and a Purpose Born and raised in Denmark, Hannah enjoyed a thriving political and business career before she and her husband bought one-way tickets to the U.S. in 1990. What followed was a journey of reinvention and opportunity. By 1997, Hannah founded ALOM in the heart of Silicon Valley, identifying early on the opportunity to use technology to enhance supply chain operations—well before “supply chain” was a mainstream concept. From the beginning, ALOM was built on innovation. When the company opened its doors, they launched with customer portals and real-time visibility—now standard, but then revolutionary. Their first revenue came from floppy disk duplication. When that technology faded, Hannah pivoted, embracing e-commerce and expanding into regulated industries, always asking: what's next? Mind Games for Modern CEOs One of the most striking takeaways from our conversation is how Hannah rethinks her company—regularly. “Once a quarter,” she says, “I buy my own company.” She imagines herself as an outsider, assessing the business with fresh eyes. What would she keep? What needs to go? What opportunities are emerging? This “buy-your-own-business” mindset keeps her ahead of disruption. This is a deeply anthropological approach—stepping outside your own story to see it anew. It's also core to a Blue Ocean Strategy: shed the outdated, build the new, and serve unmet needs. Innovation, Values, and Culture are What Really Matter While Hannah is passionate about technology and supply chain solutions, her foundation is rooted in values—innovation, collaboration, quality, and diversity. Culture, she believes, isn't a side conversation—it's a strategic priority. And when values misalign, even a high performer may not be the right fit. Culture can make or break agility. “Personnel decisions are more strategic than we think,” Hannah observes, especially in fast-changing environments. You will enjoy watching our Podcast on YouTube: The Future is Here—If You Can See It We explored how Hannah navigates today's volatile supply chain world: tariffs, technology, talent shortages, and trade wars. She shared how she mitigates risks—like storing lithium batteries in an award-winning facility designed specifically for safety—and how she balances immediate challenges with long-term strategic thinking. Her approach? Plan for 95% and build agility for the remaining 5%. “If you don't plan for 95%, you'll be stuck firefighting 100%.” Data, Intuition, and Ecosystems Data is vital, Hannah says—but data alone is not enough. “It's the rearview mirror. You need to look out the windshield.” What she's really looking for is meaning—trends, risks, and opportunities derived from experience, context, and yes, intuition. She credits much of her insight to exploring the entire ecosystem—talking to employees, clients, suppliers, and staying deeply embedded in industry networks. She also emphasized that leaders must separate the urgent from the important, and prioritize the tasks that drive long-term value. What's Next? Hannah believes AI will be transformative in supply chain logistics—especially in image recognition, predictability, and precision. She's skeptical of blockchain until there's wide-scale collaboration, but excited by AI's capacity to reduce risk and increase agility. Her parting wisdom? Don't get stuck managing risk so tightly that you miss opportunity. Reinvention is possible—and necessary. And it begins, quite literally, with a morning shower and one powerful question: “What's the most important thing I can do for my ecosystem today?” Where to learn more about Hannah Kain and the work she is doing: Hannah's Profile: linkedin.com/in/hannahkain Website: alom.com (ALOM) Email: hkain@alom.com Listen to these other podcasts or read the blogs about them: 442: Joyce Salzberg is Changing Lives Through Early Intervention 436: Women, #WorkSchoolHours Can Transform Your Life 429: Embracing the Future: How Matt Leta is Guiding Companies Connect with me: Website: www.simonassociates.net Email: info@simonassociates.net Books:  Learn more about our books here: Rethink: Smashing the Myths of Women in Business Women Mean Business: Over 500 Insights from Extraordinary Leaders to Spark Your Success On the Brink: A Fresh Lens to Take Your Business to New Heights Listen + Subscribe: Available wherever you get your podcasts—Apple, Spotify, Stitcher, YouTube, and more.

Episode Highlight: On this episode of the Embracing "Only" podcast, we come together for an emotionally honest conversation about fear, bias, and what it means to be seen as suspicious simply for existing. We explore how microaggressions, implicit bias, and systemic racism continue to shape the lived experience of women of color and what it really means to advocate, to listen, and to lead with courage.Key Discussion Points:01:10 Real-Life Racial Profiling Experience: Archita shares a moment of racial profiling on her morning walk and how the aftershock reverberated through her sense of safety and belonging.05:41 The Toll of Constant Vigilance: There is an emotional and physical toll that comes with constantly being on high alert for bias and microaggressions. The best action you can take is not to engage.10:34 Stop Explaining Away Oppression: Don't explain someone's pain away. Believe people when they tell you what happened, even if it makes you uncomfortable.12:07 Understanding Who Is Responsible for Your Fear: This is a challenge for adults to examine the source of their fear rather than projecting it onto others. And to help the next generation not inherit this fear.19:26 Calling Out Bias in the Workplace: When you see bias happening in the workplace, you owe it to your employees to call it out.23:53 The End of Grace for Willful Ignorance: People who choose not to care and not to understand bias just because it doesn't apply to them are willfully ignorant.In Summary: Olivia and Archita delve into the complexities of experiencing and addressing racial bias and microaggressions. They highlight the importance of recognizing and interrupting bias and educating children about diversity without fear.Resources from this episode:Story of Now by Shelina JanmohamedIf you happen to be a woman of color and you are looking for a community of like minded women, join Olivia here: https://www.mysistersshoulders.com/.Ready to make a change?→ If you are struggling to navigate your corporate career but are ambitious and have goals you want to accomplish quickly, Olivia is the coach for you.

I love finding other inspiring women podcasters and Mara Glatzel is one of them. I happened to find her podcast (Needy - https://itunes.apple.com/gb/podcast/needy/id1389278344?mt=2) and immediately connected with her work. In this episode we talk about how women can advocate for their needs, creating a sustainable business in terms of energy (without the burnout), and how to set goals from a centered place. I also ask Mara what metrics she tracks that feel good in her own business. Mara's links: Podcast: www.theneedypodcast.comCycle: maraglatzel.com/cycleInstagram: instagram.com/maraglatzel More about Mara:  Mara Glatzel, MSW, reminds women that they are enough.

In online classes, live retreats, and on her podcast, Needy, Mara facilitates daily conversations about self-responsibility, radiant self-trust, and self-love. Her super power is saying things in a way that you can actually hear them (so that you can use the insight to make positive change in your life).

Mark takes in the great outdoors with artist and musician Aldous Collins, diving into the role of gratitude, vulnerability, and authenticity in his work. Aldous reflects on his early musical influences, the evolution of his performance style, and how live interaction with audiences shapes his approach to art. The conversation touches on the intersection of music and visual expression, the power of community, and the inspiration found in nature. We also discuss the future of creativity in the age of AI, and why human connection remains at the heart of meaningful artistic expression. Check out Aldous' work on his website! Takeaways Creativity often stems from personal experiences and emotions. Gratitude plays a crucial role in the creative process. Vulnerability in art allows for deeper connections with audiences. Live performances create a unique bond between artist and listener. Art and music can serve as therapeutic outlets for expression. Embracing fear and uncertainty is essential for growth. Nature can inspire creativity and provide a sense of peace. Authenticity in art resonates more with audiences than perfection. The evolution of an artist's style is a natural part of their journey. AI may change the landscape of creativity, but human connection remains irreplaceable.

In this profoundly insightful episode, Dr. Dan welcomes back New York Times bestselling author and cultural thought leader Elise Loehnen to explore the power and necessity of shadow work. Together, they dive into Jungian psychology, the cost of cultural conditioning, and the stories we unconsciously carry that shape who we believe we must be. Elise talks to Dr. Dan about the journey that led to her latest project, Choosing Wholeness Over Goodness—a transformational guidebook co-written with coach Courtney Smith. From the drama triangle to internal family systems to working with the “eight sins,” this conversation is packed with tools and reflections to help you move from ego to soul, knowledge to wisdom, and fear to empowerment. Key Topics on this new episode include: what lives in our shadow—and why it matters; the cultural cost of being “good” vs. becoming whole; using anger, fear, and envy as tools for healing and growth; and the shadow's role in leadership, parenting, and cultural change. Listeners will walk away with practical insights on identifying their unconscious stories, tools to integrate repressed parts of themselves, and a new lens through which to see themselves—and others—with compassion and clarity.

Ever feel like life's a rollercoaster—high one week, low the next? Maybe your product sales dip for no clear reason, or the energy in a relationship feels off. Before you start questioning everything, what if I told you... nothing is wrong? You're simply moving with a Universal Law. In this episode of Our Reimagined Life, I'm continuing our Summer Minis Series on the Universal Laws for beginners with Law #12: The Law of Rhythm. This law teaches us that everything in life moves in natural cycles—highs and lows, ebbs and flows. From business sales to our emotions, energy, and relationships, rhythm is always in motion. And when we stop resisting the lows and start trusting the timing, we find more peace and purpose in every season. I'll share real examples from my life and business—like sales slumps, social media spirals, and relationships that shift—and how I've learned to ride the rhythm instead of fighting it. Whether you're in a creative lull, a financial dry spell, or just feeling off… this episode will remind you that you're not behind—you're just in a different part of the wave. In this episode: What the Law of Rhythm really means and how it affects every part of life Why nothing stays up (or down) forever How resistance creates more struggle—and how to find peace in the pause Personal stories from business, social media, and relationships Ways to recognize your season, trust the dip, and use slow periods wisely So if you're currently in a low—know the rhythm is still flowing. And when the wave rises again (because it always does), you'll be ready to ride it with more grace, confidence, and clarity. Listen in and remember: you're not broken—you're in motion. If this episode brought you clarity or comfort, would you leave a quick review?

As adults, we don't often put ourselves in the position of being a novice. In this episode, I'm sharing why I've gone back to basics in my professional life, and the uncomfortable truth that despite years of experience, stepping back into a learner's role can trigger our ego by forcing us to confront our poor practices. Through my experiences, I highlight the importance of intellectual humility and the courage to unlearn old patterns in order to grow and stay relevant. Embracing the discomfort of being a beginner not only supports personal growth, mental agility and psychological flexibility but it enhances our cognitive abilities and keeps our passion for learning alive. I also share an incredible study highlighting the impact on our cognitive wellbeing from continuing to learn new skills as we age.Takeaways:Embracing the beginner's mindset is essential for continuous growth in our professional lives. Experiencing discomfort when learning new skills can lead to significant personal and professional development. Our ego often hinders us from acknowledging our need to learn and grow, especially as experts. Humility in accepting feedback and criticism is crucial for maintaining relevance in our careers.

But now I know better.I'm sharing how I've started doing things that pull me rather than constantly pushing myself and how that shift has helped me stop emotional eating, feel more grounded, and finally listen to my body. Cozy isn't laziness, it's restoration.If you've ever felt stuck between hustle culture and burnout, this episode is for you.

What does it take to lead with authenticity, build a thriving business, and grow stronger through adversity, both professionally and personally?  In this episode of Leadership Blueprints, BJ Kramer sits down with powerhouse duo Jim Carter of CBRE/Turner Townsend and Barbara Balongue, founder of Balongue Design, to explore the art of leadership through the lens of real-life experience, grit, and long-term vision. From Barbara's leap into entrepreneurship during a recession to Jim's three-decade blueprint for career growth focused on technical mastery, networking, and strategic leadership, this conversation offers a masterclass in leading with purpose.   Along the way, they share insights on the importance of vulnerability, the power of intergenerational collaboration, and why running toward problems, not away from them, is the mark of a true leader. For a fresh perspective on resilience, relationship-building, and what it means to lead a life (and business) with integrity and intention, tune in today!  Key Points From This Episode: A three-phase career strategy: competence, network, strategy. Overcoming adversity to build true leadership strength. Reasons to run toward the fire, not away from it. The importance of listening and learning across generations. Embracing risk, leading with vision, and other traits of successful leaders. The likability factor: why charisma is a secret weapon in leadership. Quotes: “Looking back, all of the economic downturns that I've lived through since the start, all the difficult clients, all the challenges, all the project setbacks, those are the things that really informed me and taught me how to be a leader.” — Barbara Balongue   “If you see a big fire, run into it. Don't run away from it. I use that language almost on a weekly basis with my team. If you see a problem, which we equate to a big fire, run right into it and put it out.” — Barbara Balongue  “Being vulnerable, and humble, and showing empathy is core to having a relationship, both in business and in [your personal life].” — Jim Carter  “I don't see a separation between personal and professional. You have to be an authentic person. People are attracted to what they see, not what they hear.” — Barbara Balongue  Links Mentioned in Today's Episode: Jim Carter on LinkedIn Turner & Townsend CBRE Barbara Balongue on LinkedIn Balongue Design The Likability Factor: How to Boost Your L-Factor and Achieve Your Life's Dreams Leadership Blueprints Podcast MCFA MCFA Careers BJ Kraemer on LinkedIn
