In this deeply personal piece, Jon shares something raw and different ... a song born straight from his journaling practice.After years of living by duty, discipline, and performance, Jon found himself realizing he'd lost touch with the part of him that once felt fully alive.That reflection became a song called “Called Home to Yourself.”Through honest storytelling and emotional depth, Jon opens up about what it means to wake up after years on autopilot... to remember the child you once were, the fire you once carried, and the freedom of feeling seen again.This song isn't about perfection (nor is it perfect)... it's about presence.It's about rediscovering who you are beneath the roles, the ranks, and the noise of everyday life.If you've ever felt that quiet ache... that pull toward something real... this episode is for you.Because sometimes, the bravest thing we can do is stop running, listen, and come home.Listen to “Called Home to Yourself” — written and performed by... well, AI!!Hosted by Jon Macaskill | Men Talking MindfulnessHosted by Ausha.

Why we learn the most when we accept that we might be wrong.Effective communication isn't about having all the answers. As Astro Teller knows, it's about finding (and sometimes fumbling) your way through the questions.Teller is a computer scientist, entrepreneur, and inventor who serves as Captain of Moonshots at X, Alphabet's Moonshot Factory. In his work leading teams toward audacious solutions to seemingly unsolvable problems, he embraces what he calls “a learning journey,” where being wrong isn't the end, but the beginning. “As scary as it is to be wrong,” he says, it's a necessary part of the discovery process. Whether experimenting in the lab or testing our thoughts and opinions in conversation with others, it's about having the humility and curiosity to face the limits of our understanding. “When do you learn something? You learn something when you have a model about the world, and then you get some data that tells you you're wrong,” he says. “You learn nothing when you're right.”In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, Teller and host Matt Abrahams discuss how embracing uncertainty drives innovation, why leaders should reward learning habits over outcomes, and how we learn the most when we're not afraid to find that we might be wrong.To listen to the extended Deep Thinks version of this episode, please visit FasterSmarter.io/premium.Episode Reference Links:Astro TellerAstro's Book: Sacred Cows Ep.70 Ideas Fuel Innovation: Why Your First Ideas Aren't Always the Best Ep.20 Question Your Questions: How to Spark Creativity in Your Communication Connect:Premium Signup >>>> Think Fast Talk Smart PremiumEmail Questions & Feedback >>> hello@fastersmarter.ioEpisode Transcripts >>> Think Fast Talk Smart WebsiteNewsletter Signup + English Language Learning >>> FasterSmarter.ioThink Fast Talk Smart >>> LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTubeMatt Abrahams >>> LinkedInChapters:(00:00) - Introduction (02:18) - Defining a Moonshot (04:21) - Building a Learning Machine (07:00) - Learning vs. Productivity (08:35) - Capturing and Sharing Learning (10:49) - Rewarding Habits, Not Outcomes (13:17) - Moonshot Success Stories (16:16) - The Power of Storytelling in Innovation (17:46) - Launching The Moonshot Podcast (19:37) - The Final Three Questions (25:27) - Conclusion  ********Thank you to our sponsors.  These partnerships support the ongoing production of the podcast, allowing us to bring it to you at no cost.This episode is brought to you by Babbel.

It is estimated that there are at least 28 million adult children of alcoholics in the United States alone. The statistics are staggering. Combine those numbers with a deep understanding of the impact of growing up in an alcoholic home, and it becomes easy to understand why so many adult children struggle with emotional regulation, telling the truth, setting boundaries and with emotional dependencies that result in seeking approval and validation in order to feel somewhat 'normal'. Many adult children of alcoholics do not even know their parents or grandparents were alcoholics. Toxic family systems are enmeshed and shrouded in denial. When the adults in the family are not addressing their trauma, they inadvertently pass that trauma down to their children. Listen in as Lisa A.

Change hits like a wave, and most teams feel it first as fear. We sat down with M&A veteran John Martinka to unpack how to turn that fear into focus when ownership or leadership shifts. Our conversation gets practical fast: reframing uncertainty, rewarding continuity, and communicating with a steady cadence even when legal guardrails limit what you can say.We walk through the three‑legged stool of trust across employees, seller, and buyer, and why retention bonuses tied to time and performance protect both people and the deal. John explains why buyers invest in teams, not just contracts, and how smart leaders involve key talent early without spooking the organization. We also explore how shop‑floor ideas often hold the best growth levers, and how a new owner's curiosity plus targeted capital can unlock stalled improvements. From culture risk and turnover to customer stickiness and margin discipline, we connect the dots between people decisions and enterprise value.If you've been asked to present to a prospective buyer, you'll hear how to share the positive truth: clear wins, real risks, and where capital accelerates value, including measured adoption of AI that augments your team. Founders weighing an exit get a grounded checklist on valuation basics—profitability, growth, customer concentration, tenure, and owner dependency—and how to build a bench so the business thrives without a single linchpin.Ready to lead through change with confidence and calm consistency?

Parenting doesn't magically get “easier” once kids are past the toddler years—and Alyssa Blask Campbell wants us to stop pretending it does. The bestselling author of Tiny Humans, Big Emotions is back with her new book Big Kids, Bigger Feelings, a guide to navigating the rollercoaster of the elementary school years—when kids are “too old for tantrums, but too young for teen drama.” Alyssa joins Mosheh to break down why these years matter so much for building resilience, empathy, and emotional intelligence. She explains how parents can act as “emotional detectives” to uncover what's really driving behavior, the difference between respect and obedience, and why our own self-regulation as adults is the model our children will copy. We also dig into practical, everyday dilemmas: how to handle screen time and peer pressure, what to do when your child lies, and how to respond to difficult emotions like sadness and anger. Plus—the often-overlooked role of diet, sleep, and nervous system regulation in shaping behavior.Alyssa also shares insights from her Collaborative Emotion Processing (CEP) method, and why teaching kids to manage their feelings is the single greatest gift parents can give.

“Forces beyond your control can take away everything you possess except one thing, your freedom to choose how you will respond to the situation.” This is the quote by Holocaust survivor Viktor E Frankl that headlines a new book titled, Dealing With Feeling: Use Your Emotions to Create the Life You Want. The book comes from my guest in this episode, Marc Brackett. Mark is the founding director of the Yale Center for Emotional Intelligence and a professor in the Child Study Center, Yale School of Medicine at Yale University. Marcs research for over 25 years has focused on the role of emotions and emotional intelligence in learning, decision making, creativity, relationships, health, and performance. The quote from Viktor Frankl that came from his time in a concentration camp, and that Marc has devoted his life to, is saying that no matter what happens to us, we get to choose how we respond. And my experience of humanity is that no matter what happens to them, even great traumas, tragedies, and victimizations, what harms them more than the incident or event is how they conceive of it and how they respond. My concern is that culturally we have come into a place where we don't believe this. We feel it is our right and it's just, to respond to pain, with pain. And to say otherwise is actually offensive. Looking at the mental health stats these days, I don't think this perspective is working. This is the conversation you're about to hear with Marc Brackett. Marc previously authored the bestselling book, Permission To Feel and most recently, along with Pinterest co-founder Ben Silbermann, Marc and his team co-created the Apple award-winning app, HowWeFeel, that was designed to teach emotion skills and enhance well-being.
