This episode falls into a pattern that's hard to ignore...I'm seeing a growing undercurrent of design leaders strongly advocating for a more sustainable approach toward work and life.It is hard to separate this development from the rise of AI, which is shaping many aspects of our lives and turning what we know upside down. Sure, there's always been a push to do more, and preferably faster and cheaper, but now with AI, it feels like the volume knob has been turned to 11.Of course, this has a significant impact on us as service design professionals. The "productivity" pressure is rising for us as well. And if we're honest, it often reaches a point where it not only takes away the fulfillment we find in our work, but also leaves us on the edge of burnout.But we're humans, not machines. We're not merely replaceable cogs in a system. So we must find an alternative.One of the leaders advocating for this more sustainable approach toward work is our guest, Birgit Geiberger. She argues that in order for us to thrive in this new reality, we must adopt a different leadership style. Birgit says we need to focus on leading with both head and heart in a way she calls regenerative leadership.In this conversation, we unpack what this form of leadership entails and why it's now more important than ever. Birgit offers ideas on how you can push back and escape the unsustainable pace of work when everything and everyone around us seems to demand more, go, go, go.We discuss what you can do on a day-to-day basis to find your grounding and stay true to who you truly are in a world where compromises are unavoidable. And finally, we investigate how you can show that doing things in a regenerative way is not just good for you, but also accelerates and increases your business impact.A great conversation, packed with hope, inspiration, and practical advice for anyone who wants to bring back the joy in their work again.What might be good to know is that I haven't selected my recent guests based on their interest in this theme, or instructed them in any way to discuss it. This is just something that emerges when I ask them to speak about what is dear to their hearts right now.If you've been listening to the Show, I'm curious if you've noticed this undercurrent as well.Enjoy the conversation and keep making a positive impact!~ Marc--- [ 1.

Jeff Korzenik, the chief economist at a major US bank, explains how predicting a labor shortage in the US led him to discover the growing movement around "second chance" hiring of people with criminal records. His passion for this work led him to write "Untapped Talent," a book that explains to companies the benefits of this type of hiring and offers a blueprint of how best to do it. Jeff describes how second chance hiring can transform lives and communities. Chapters: 00:00 Introduction to Jeff Korzenik's Work This chapter introduces Jeff Korzenik, Chief Economist and author of Untapped Talent, highlighting his unique background as a bank executive focused on hiring people with criminal records. 03:14 From Economics to Second Chances Jeff Korzenik explains how his work on second-chance hiring evolved from his economic research into labor force challenges, initially focusing on the opioid epidemic. 05:51 The Staggering Numbers of Incarceration Jeff outlines the immense scale of incarceration and criminal records in the United States, emphasizing how the U.S. is an outlier globally. 09:05 Creating Hope in Prison Jeff discusses the inherent unfairness of a system where a prison sentence can become a life sentence due to employment discrimination. He shares how his book, 'Untapped Talent,' is distributed to incarcerated individuals to instill hope and remind them that they are a valuable resource, not a burden, through the generous support of others. 14:15 Employer Barriers and Solutions Jeff addresses the common objections employers have to hiring individuals with criminal records: safety/liability, employee quality, and reputation risk. He explains that these concerns are valid but manageable through intelligent, business-based decisions, advocating for transparent and supportive hiring practices. 17:55 The Loyalty of Second Chance Hires Jeff highlights that successful second-chance hiring relies on traditional hiring models, adapted to understand and support candidates with criminal records. 23:23 Virtuous Cycle of Success Jeff explains the 'snowballing effect' of success in second-chance hiring, where companies known for fair chance employment receive high-quality referrals and build strong community relationships. 26:08 Empathy and Boundaries in Hiring Jeff advocates for people to visit prisons to humanize the incarcerated and understand their experiences. 33:28 Challenges Post-Release and 'Ban the Box' Jeff illustrates the immense hurdles individuals face immediately after release from prison, from securing basic necessities to navigating a changed world with minimal support. He explains why state-mandated 'ban the box' policies have often been ineffective, and instead suggests that voluntary removal of the box by truly committed employers sends a powerful, positive signal to job seekers. 39:17 Impact on Fellow Employees and Society Jeff discusses how to integrate second-chance hires into a company's workforce, emphasizing that transparency and context are key to addressing potential employee concerns. 43:43 Untapped Potential and Future Optimism Jeff expresses immense optimism about the future of second-chance hiring, despite being in the very early stages of leveraging this vast talent pool. 49:10 Resources and Multi-Generational Impact Jeff provides resources for companies interested in second-chance hiring, including the Second Chance Business Coalition and SHRM's 'Getting Talent Back to Work' certification. He underscores the profound multi-generational benefits of fair chance employment, emphasizing its role in breaking cycles of incarceration and fostering a virtuous cycle of community safety and economic prosperity.
Have you ever been in a conversation where someone becomes uncomfortable… and suddenly you feel like it's your job to fix it? You soften your tone. You explain more than you intended. You change the subject. Not because you're unsure of yourself - but because you can feel the emotional shift in the room. Empathy is a powerful leadership strength. But when empathy turns into emotional responsibility, it can lead to exhaustion, self-censorship, and constantly managing other people's reactions. In this episode, Brenda explores: why empathic women often feel responsible for others' emotions how biology, environment, and culture reinforce this pattern the difference between emotional awareness and emotional responsibility how leadership shifts when you stop managing the room Brenda also introduces the POWER Method, the framework she uses with clients to stay anchored when relational pressure appears.

Jest kultowa scena w filmie Lejdis, w której bohaterka mówi że empatia to taka zupa z Azji, a ja sobie myślę, że w popkulturze stała się niestrawnym wywarem sto razy przemielonym przez ledwo drożne trzewia i zdarza się, że rozumiemy ją mylnie.

Send a textThink space is fast? Try outrunning time. We kick off with a clear-eyed breakdown of Project Hail Mary's core science.Using the Parker Solar Probe as our real-world speed limit, we map the math of interstellar distances to compare to the ability for Ryan Gosling to get to Tau Ceti in Project Hail Mary.Then we turn to biology's unforgiving rules. Could a years-long medically induced coma carry a crew through deep space? We explain how coma differs from sleep, why weeks mark a dangerous threshold, and the cascade of complications ICU teams fight daily—muscle wasting, clots, pneumonia, pressure injuries, and dysregulated hormones. We sketch what a future-ready, autonomous critical-care system would actually need to stabilize a human body for years, and why today's medicine isn't there yet.Our pet science segment shifts from galaxies to living rooms, dissecting a viral claim about Sweden “banning” leaving cats home alone. We clarify the Swedish Animal Welfare Act, the twice-daily human check-in guideline for cats, and why cameras don't count. You'll hear how these rules protect animal welfare without criminalizing a normal workday, and why enforcement stories online deserve a healthy fact-check. It's the same habit we apply to sci-fi: verify the source, understand the standard, and do right by the beings who rely on us.If you enjoy smart science, grounded skepticism, and practical takeaways—from relativistic travel to responsible pet care—follow the show, share it with a friend, and leave a review.

Mastering the Human Element of Sales and Leadership with Shad TidlerIn a recent episode of The Thoughtful Entrepreneur Podcast, host Josh Elledge sat down with Shad Tidler, a senior consultant and coach specializing in Sales and Leadership/Management at Lushin. The conversation dived deep into the psychological barriers that often prevent talented entrepreneurs from scaling their sales organizations and leading with true impact. Shad's expertise lies in dismantling the "head trash" that complicates the sales process, helping leaders transition from a state of reactive management to one of proactive, high-performance coaching. For any founder feeling stuck in the "doer" role, this episode provides a masterclass in shifting perspective to unlock sustainable business growth.Bridging the Gap Between Sales Strategy and Leadership ExecutionA common struggle for growing businesses is the disconnect between the desire for higher revenue and the actual leadership behaviors required to support a sales team. Many founders are excellent at closing deals themselves but struggle to replicate that success within their team because they treat management as an administrative task rather than a coaching discipline. To bridge this gap, leaders must first achieve clarity on their own "sales DNA"—the underlying beliefs and habits that dictate how they interact with prospects and employees. By addressing these foundational elements, a leader can stop micromanaging the "what" and start influencing the "how," creating a culture where accountability is embraced rather than feared.Developing a high-performance sales culture also requires a fundamental shift in how we view the sales process itself: it is not about "convincing" people, but about qualifying them through rigorous discovery. Shad points out that many sales teams fail because they spend too much time chasing low-probability prospects due to a psychological need for approval. By implementing a structured, repeatable sales system, organizations can remove the emotional guesswork from the pipeline. This allows leadership to accurately forecast growth and identify specific skill gaps within their team. When sales becomes a predictable system rather than an emotional rollercoaster, the entire organization benefits from increased stability and focus.Ultimately, the most successful leaders are those who invest in their own development to stay ahead of the challenges that come with scaling. Leadership and sales are both skills that require continuous refinement and a willingness to confront uncomfortable truths about one's own performance. This is where external coaching becomes a vital asset; it provides the objective mirror necessary to spot the "head trash" that internal teams are often too close to see. By focusing on the intersection of mindset and methodology, entrepreneurs can build resilient teams that are equipped to thrive in competitive markets, ensuring that the mission of the business is supported by a robust, self-sustaining engine of growth.About Shad TidlerShad Tidler is a seasoned consultant and coach at Lushin, specializing in sales, management, and leadership development. With a background in helping businesses navigate complex growth phases, Shad focuses on the human side of business—addressing the beliefs, behaviors, and techniques that drive or hinder professional success. He is passionate about helping individuals and teams overcome psychological barriers to reach their full potential.About LushinLushin is a sales and leadership consulting firm dedicated to helping businesses achieve predictable, sustainable growth. By focusing on the psychology of sales and management, Lushin provides the training, coaching, and systems necessary to build high-performing organizations. They work with companies to refine their sales processes, develop effective leaders, and create cultures of high accountability and performance.Links Mentioned in This EpisodeLushin Website: www.lushin.comShad Tidler on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/shadtidlerKey Episode HighlightsOvercoming "Head Trash": Understanding the psychological barriers and limiting beliefs that prevent sales professionals from asking the tough questions.The Manager vs. Coach Distinction: Why the most successful sales leaders spend their time coaching behavior rather than just managing metrics.Sales DNA and Belief Systems: How your underlying beliefs about money and authority impact your ability to close deals and lead teams.Systematizing the Discovery Process: The importance of a structured sales methodology to remove emotional bias and improve lead qualification.Cultivating Accountability: Shifting organizational culture so that team members take ownership of their results and growth.ConclusionShad Tidler's approach reminds us that business growth is as much about personal evolution as it is about strategy. By refining the "human engine" behind your sales and leadership, you create a foundation for success that can withstand the pressures of scaling.More from The Thoughtful Entrepreneur
This week on the Free Outside Podcast, I'm joined by Allison Mercer to talk about one of the strangest weekends the running world has seen in a while.Allison was in Atlanta covering the US Half Marathon Championships, but before the reporting even started she paced a marathon, took a hard fall at mile 16, finished the race covered in blood, and ended up getting stitches. Somehow that still wasn't the craziest thing that happened.We break down the controversy from the championship race where the lead women followed a vehicle the wrong direction late in the race, how it affected the results, and why the reaction online got so heated. We also talk about what actually happened behind the scenes and why these situations are more complicated than they look on social media.After that we catch up on everything else happening in running right now, Black Canyon course records, Western States storylines, FKTs starting to heat up for the season, and Allison somehow explaining Barkley and FKTs to Olympic champion Cole Hocker over breakfast.It's a mix of running news, chaos, and a little bit of perspective from two people who spend way too much time thinking about this sport.Thanks for watching and supporting the show.Support our Sponsors: Sawyer: https://sawyerdirect.net/Janji (code: Freeoutside): https://snp.link/a0bfb726CS Coffee: CSinstant.coffeeGarage Grown Gear: https://snp.link/db1ba8abChapters00:00 Marathon Weekend Recap03:45 Race Day Chaos and Injuries06:49 The Aftermath of the Race Incident10:01 Social Media Reactions and Accountability12:57 Understanding the Race Dynamics15:43 The Impact of the Incident on Athletes18:45 Community Response and Support21:50 Reflections on Empathy and Accountability24:47 Looking Ahead: Future Races and Events37:20 Emerging Trends in Running and Relatability40:48 Ultra Runner of the Year Predictions45:32 Growth of FKTs Globally52:21 The Race Purse Controversy56:40 Excitement for Race Season and RecommendationsSubscribe to Substack: http://freeoutside.substack.comSupport this content on patreon: HTTP://patreon.com/freeoutsideBuy my book "Free Outside" on Amazon: https://amzn.to/39LpoSFEmail me to buy a signed copy of my book, "Free Outside" at jeff@freeoutside.comWatch the movie about setting the record on the Colorado Trail: https://tubitv.com/movies/100019916/free-outsideWebsite: www.Freeoutside.comInstagram: thefreeoutsidefacebook: www.facebook.com/freeoutside#Trailrunning #Runningnews #Outdoors #Outdooradventure

SummaryIn this episode of Visionary Leader with Jim Robinson, Jim dives deep into the crucial role of empathy, especially when leaders are under pressure. The conversation explores how emotional intelligence, authenticity, and relatability are essential traits for modern leadership.Jim emphasizes that people today are more emotionally charged and outspoken compared to twenty years ago. As a result, leaders must adapt by being relatable and empathetic. He shares that under pressure, a leader's authentic self and habits emerge first, making it vital to intentionally cultivate positive habits. Also, Jim notes that psychological research now suggests it takes about sixty repetitions to form new habits, highlighting the need for consistent effort.A standout theme is that reactions matter more than intent. Using vivid examples, Jim explains how a leader's emotional response during crises shapes outcomes and team confidence. He shares personal stories, including a family crisis, illustrating how authenticity and vulnerability foster trust and unity within teams.Empathy, Jim suggests, can quickly diffuse conflict and change outcomes, provided leaders validate experiences and remain open. But leaders must be careful—reckless emotional reactions can cause teams to disengage, while authentic displays can energize and galvanize them.Finally, Robinson discusses the importance of a leadership legacy built on compassion, responsibility, and support, advocating for defining next steps clearly and supporting team members as they grow. Empathy, he concludes, is not just a soft skill but a critical asset for visionary leadership that can turn moments of crisis into opportunities for connection and growth.

Empathy Sucks (Unless It's With Yourself) I said it. Empathy sucks. Now before you unsubscribe and send me a strongly worded email… hear me out. In this episode I'm diving deep into something that most people believe is a virtue — feeling other people's pain. And yes, empathy can be beautiful. But if all you do is absorb the emotions of others, carry their struggles, and ignore your own… that's not kindness. That's self-neglect. Here's what I explore in this episode: Why absorbing other people's pain drains your emotional energy How empathy can become a way of avoiding your own feelings Why suppressed emotions don't disappear — they generalise The difference between empathy and compassion (and why it matters) How to process your own emotions so they stop running your life Simple processes to turn emotional overwhelm into emotional strength I truly believe this: If you deal with your stuff first, you help people better. When you stop hiding from your own emotions and learn from them instead, something shifts. You become grounded. Present. Powerful. And far more able to support others without drowning in their experience. This episode includes practical processes to: Work with difficult emotions Discover the positive intention behind them Stop suppressing and start learning Shift from emotional sponge to compassionate supporter Because compassion sustains. Empathy without boundaries drains. And if you're going to feel deeply… start by feeling for yourself. This Episode Is For You If: You feel emotionally drained by other people You often absorb the moods of those around you You struggle to process your own emotions You consider yourself "an empath" but feel overwhelmed You want stronger emotional resilience You want to help others without losing yourself A Simple Practice From This Episode Before helping someone else this week, ask yourself: "Am I grounded… or am I hiding?" Then sit with one emotion of your own. Ask: What are you trying to teach me? What are you protecting me from? What can I learn from you? Learn the lesson. And watch what shifts.

And as always… Have more fun than you can stand. Shine Brightly
In this episode of , Never Fire Anyone with Mark Morgenfruh, The Essence of Great Leadership and Trust, I sit down with our Guest Mark Morgenfruh who highlights a trust deficit in business, where employees are often viewed with suspicion despite inherently wanting to succeed, leading to a lack of trust in leadership. He argues that corporate leadership often prioritizes data over people, creating a disconnect. This perspective comes from Mark Morgenfruh's 33 years in HR. Furthermore, discussions touched upon what are the generational gaps, noting how different generations perceive leadership and career progression. Mark Morgenfruh's book, “Never Fire Anybody,” advocates a values-based disciplinary model. It posits that performance issues often stem from employees being overpromoted into unsuitable roles. Instead of firing, leaders should reassign employees to roles where they can excel, retaining valuable institutional knowledge and relationships. Tim Staton notes this mirrors military reassignment practices. This approach helps in understanding the generational gaps meaning by recognizing differing career expectations across age groups. Implementing this model requires changing mindsets and focusing on individual worth. Instead of rigid PIPs, leaders should have frank discussions about struggles and propose repurposing. This is more cost-effective than replacing employees. Tim Staton raises the issue of generational gaps, where younger employees might expect rapid advancement. Mark Morgenfruh suggests guiding them to “try on” new roles to prove capabilities before promotion, which is key to bridging generational gaps. This approach helps manage generational gaps in the workplace by setting realistic expectations and fostering development. Understanding what are the generational gaps is crucial here. Mark Morgenfruh argues promotions require demonstrated performance, not just potential vs performance. For executive hires, rigorous vetting, including simulations, is crucial to ensure fit and performance, using a potential vs performance matrix effectively. Difficult conversations should happen early, starting by asking employees about their self-perceived performance. Empathy in leadership is key; leaders should support employees through personal challenges, fostering loyalty and engagement. This showcases why empathy is important in leadership and exemplifies an empathy leadership style. Tim Staton stresses prioritizing people to create a caring environment, highlighting the strong connection between empathy and leadership.

Inspired by another learning from his triathlon, Pete shares with Jen a training technique, and both of them noodle on what it might look like to work within Zone 2 (and not constantly overexerting in Zone 5). Specifically, in this episode Jen and Pete talk about: What are the five zones of energy and effort? Why is it important to take periods of rest?

There's a tension at the heart of modern banking that technology doesn't seem to totally resolve: how do you be both, digitally excellent and deeply human at the same time? Most banks have picked a lane: either betting on digital efficiency or doubling down on relationship banking. But consumers aren't asking for one or the other. They want both. They want their banking app to work flawlessly when they need it, and they want someone who actually knows them when it matters. My guest today is Dontá Wilson, Truist's Chief Consumer and Small Business Banking Officer. He leads 20,000 teammates serving clients through both digital channels and more than 1,900 community banking branches. His portfolio spans core deposits and loans to mortgage, auto, credit cards, and the full stack of consumer products. He also oversees Truist's multi-year growth plan that's reimagining both their digital experience and their physical branches using insights and AI. We talked about how AI is redefining consumer expectations and trust, what it takes to innovate inside a highly regulated industry while keeping client purpose at the center, and why Dontá believes innovation without empathy is empty.
Empathy Overload: Why Feeling Too Much Can Hurt Your Relationship (And How Compassion Heals It)
Elon Musk says that empathy is going to ruin us. Fish Stark of the American Humanist Association not only disagrees, but the AHA is prepping a historic day of empathy...and you can potentially be a part of it. https://www.americanempathyproject.org/Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/thethinkingatheist--3270347/support.
Brandon Bennett currently serves as a Professor of Religious Education at Brigham Young University–Idaho. He previously worked for more than a decade in Seminaries and Institutes of Religion in Utah and Texas, where he was blessed to teach the restored gospel to many remarkable youth and young adults. Throughout much of his adult life, he has held callings working with the rising generation, focusing on strengthening their faith in Jesus Christ and helping them build a firm spiritual foundation. His experiences as a religious educator and youth leader have reinforced the importance of teaching truth “in plainness” (2 Nephi 31:3). Teaching doctrine with clarity and simplicity has, therefore, become one of his great priorities and convictions. He believes that as we seek to clearly understand and faithfully apply the principles taught in the scriptures and the words of the prophets—free from false assumptions—we place ourselves in a position to more fully receive the Savior's power, peace, and direction in our lives. Brandon shares faith-filled thoughts on finding purpose in pain through Jesus Christ. This livestream explores why trials come—from our own choices, mortality, others' actions, or divine tutoring—and how the Savior's touch can give any experience meaning. Rather than saying “everything happens for a reason,” Brandon reframes the idea: through Jesus Christ, everything can have a reason and purpose. Drawing on scripture, doctrine, and the story of the man born blind, this discussion offers hope, perspective, and practical faith for anyone navigating hardship—and for leaders counseling others through it.

You said, "That sounds really hard," so why is your partner still upset? It's called the Empathy Dash — that moment you touch your partner's pain just long enough to check a box, then sprint toward solutions, silver linings, or your own experience. In over 1,500 couples sessions, Tony has watched this pattern quietly erode trust while both partners swear they're trying. This episode unpacks why your empathy isn't landing, what your nervous system is actually doing when you rush to fix, and a deceptively simple practice that changes everything. In this episode, you'll discover: Why "me too" on the inside lands like "not you" on the outside — and the intent-vs-impact gap where relationships slowly erode Stealing Thunder: the real-time couples session moment that perfectly captures how sharing gets hijacked before it even lands How your Adaptive Child — the survival strategy that kept you safe growing up — is now sabotaging your closest relationship The neuroscience of co-regulation and why your calm presence does more than your best advice ever could The 3-Before-1 Rule: a concrete practice for staying present when every instinct says fix, solve, or flee Tony Overbay, LMFT, draws from over two decades of couples therapy, Terry Real's relational framework, and Dan Siegel's interpersonal neurobiology to redefine what empathy actually looks like in practice. If you've ever left a conversation thinking "I said all the right things" while your partner felt completely unseen — this one's for you. You're not broken. You just don't know what you don't know yet. 00:00 Welcome and Where to Follow 01:15 Retreat Story Mental Load Misfire 04:56 Intent vs Impact in Bids 06:08 Attack Surface and Pathological Kindness 09:37 Sequencing the Conversation 12:26 Stealing Thunder Named 17:02 Catching the Thunder Grab 18:17 Drive By Empathy Metaphor 21:03 Empathy vs Sympathy Basics 22:36 Why Optimism Can Dismiss 24:02 What Empathy Actually Does 26:58 Real Life Fixing Examples 28:39 Spotting the Empathy Dash 29:30 Why We Do It 30:12 Adaptive Child Origins 31:39 Fixer vs Avoider Examples 33:49 Co-Regulation Explained 34:44 Two Ways to Respond 37:16 Four Pillars Framework 38:11 Questions Before Comments 38:58 Curiosity in Action 42:19 Three Before One Rule 45:40 When Effort Feels Unseen 47:35 Handling Your Triggers 49:27 Closing Encouragement Get on the waitlist today for Tony's upcoming Magnetic Marriage live course!

How do you become an irresistible coach? If you look around your industry, you'll notice something interesting. Some coaches consistently get results, steady referrals, and clients who keep coming back… even though they're not the most experienced, the loudest online, or the cheapest option. Meanwhile, a lot of really smart, caring coaches struggle to stand out or wonder if they're even worth what they charge. Today, I want to show you what actually separates those coaches — not marketing tactics or credentials, but how they show up inside the coaching relationship itself. And once you understand this, it changes how you coach, how clients experience you, and why they choose you in the first place Chapters 00:00 Becoming an Irresistible Coach 11:55 The Power of Empathy 24:51 Encouragement: Fueling Client Belief 36:53 Empowerment: Fostering Independence
The Claypool Lennon Delirium's The Great Parrot-Ox and the Golden Egg of Empathy is a really long album title, but it serves the purpose of what we can only imagine is a modern-day fable told in a retro style that may or may not end up with all of humanity being turned into paper clips. We have tracked down all the available information about the forthcoming CLD record and packaged it here, so you won't miss a thing. Plus, rampant speculation on what we don't know, because it's fun.

Psychologist and SuperPsyched host Dr. Adam Dorsay interviews novelist Andrew Davidson about Davidson's debut novel The Gargoyle and the role fiction can play in empathy and mental health. Davidson summarizes the book as a burn-ward patient approached by a woman who claims they were lovers 700 years ago, highlighting the tension between the narrator's atheism and Maryanne Engel's faith. He discusses his research-driven writing process, including firsthand outreach to a burn survivor, extensive historical sourcing, and deliberate choices balancing accuracy with emotional truth. Davidson explains cutting a much longer manuscript, securing representation from agent Eric Simonoff, and how the book's global publication—including translations and a reported $1.25 million advance—led to an overwhelming publicity tour that altered his relationship with writing. He describes later work in theater and ends by naming empathy as the key insight to improve society.00:00 Welcome to SuperPsyched00:26 Why Fiction Matters00:49 Introducing The Gargoyle02:28 Meet Andrew Davidson03:24 What The Book Is About06:44 Characters and The Author09:09 Researching Worlds and Trauma13:59 Accuracy vs Emotional Truth19:02 Trusting Intuition and Editing21:12 Loving the Writing Process22:26 Why Only One Novel24:39 Writing for Love25:40 Japan and The Gargoyle26:30 Fame and Touring Burnout29:11 Reset in Paris30:26 Theater and New Writing31:57 Writer Identity and Intrinsic Drive33:48 Landing a Top Agent36:07 Editing Down the Manuscript40:11 Luck Preparation and Gratitude42:35 Movie or Limited Series45:34 Winnipeg Theater Mission47:54 Empathy and FarewellHelpful Links:Andrew Davidson FacebookThe Gargoyle Book

In a world of constant change and advances in technology, Artificial Intelligence is also raising the bar on Emotional Intelligence. Jason Barger explains. Jason explores the critical intersection of high-tech and high-touch, explaining why the rise of Artificial Intelligence makes human Emotional Intelligence more valuable than ever before. Please rate and review the podcast to help amplify these messages to others! Summary: As we move toward a future where AI handles our data, our schedules, and even our strategic analysis, what remains for the human leader? In this episode of The Thermostat, Jason V Barger deconstructs the "AI" of Authentic Interaction. He argues that rather than making leaders obsolete, technology is actually raising the bar for corporate culture and leadership in teams. Drawing from recent Forbes predictions for 2030 and current workforce trends, Jason identifies why the "scarcity premium" of the next decade will be placed on empathy, transparency, and genuine human connection. This conversation moves beyond the "scary" or "exciting" headlines of automation to address the core mechanics of how elite leaders build high-trust ecosystems. Essential listening for C-Suite executives and managers navigating the technological tide, this episode offers a strategic framework for doubling down on the traits that AI cannot duplicate: vulnerability, motive transparency, and authentic purpose. Episode Notes & Timestamps: [00:00] Intro: Jason welcomes listeners to Season 10, reflecting on over 300 episodes dedicated to calibrating the leadership thermostat. [00:03] The AI Paradox: Why artificial intelligence is the most discussed topic in boardrooms today and the spectrum of fear and excitement surrounding it. [00:06] Predictions for 2030: A breakdown of the Forbes forecast—from AI therapists and accountants to the normalization of humanoid robots in the workplace. [00:08] The Authentic Interaction (AI) Framework: Jason introduces his thesis: The more advanced technology becomes, the more humans crave authentic interaction. [00:09] Authenticity as a Trust Driver: Revisiting the three pillars of trust (Authenticity, Logic, and Empathy) and why showing up genuinely is now a competitive advantage. [00:10] Pillar 1: Genuineness: The importance of leaders admitting imperfections and sharing their vision to attract and retain top talent. [00:11] Pillar 2: Transparency: How proactive sharing of information and motives prevents the "manipulation" trap and drives engagement. [00:12] Pillar 3: Connection: Addressing the fundamental human need to belong to a mission greater than oneself, which no algorithm can satisfy. [00:13] Closing Questions: Jason leaves leaders with a challenge to evaluate how they are valuing the human experience in a technological age. Key Takeaways for Leaders: The Scarcity Premium: Recognize that as tasks become automated, human-centric leadership traits (EQ) become your most valuable assets. Motive Transparency: Build trust by being radically transparent about the "why" behind strategic shifts and technological adoption. Culture as an Ecosystem: Focus on building a "Human-First" culture that uses technology to enhance, not replace, human connection.

Cat & Cloud Podcast Cat & Cloud Coffee www.catandcloud.com/ On-Stage, Off-Stage: Why Owners Stand in Line (And Other Hospitality Go's & No-Go's) – Ep #439 Summary In this episode, Jared, Chris, and Casey riff on authenticity and then dig into hospitality as “on-stage vs off-stage” work—treating a café like a live performance where everything guests see, hear, and feel (cleanliness, order, smell, noise, staff energy) shapes the experience before they even taste the coffee. They unpack “clubhousing” as a major no-go—when staff get lost in their own conversations or tasks and fail to include guests—and argue that the goal isn't robotic service but a shared framework that helps people be more present and human. A key leadership practice is cafe/restaurant owners standing in line and experiencing the business like a guest to spot friction and keep perspective. Chris closes with his biggest hospitality deal-breakers: letting the register conversation drag while a line builds, ignoring “hovering” guests who need help, and creating perceived unavailability—because being seen and acknowledged is often the difference between a tense room and a great one.

Send a textWhat if the “smart” reasons you give yourself are the very thing keeping you stuck? We peel back the layers on excuses vs explanations and show how fear often hides behind logic that sounds responsible: I need more clients before I invest, I need more confidence before I sell, I don't know what to say. These lines feel true because our brains are built to keep us safe, not bold. Once you see the pattern, you can choose movement over waiting.We share how we coach coaches through this trap without shaming, pushing, or playing guru. Empathy matters, but empathy without leadership enables the stall. You'll hear the exact shifts we make: reflect the story, name the cost of delay, and ask braver questions that turn insight into motion. We discuss why confidence never arrives on the front end, how action creates clarity, and how to design tiny experiments that reduce risk while building real momentum. From first sales conversations to low-stakes pilots, we map out steps that help you learn faster than your fear.Expect practical prompts you can use today, for yourself and your clients. Try the pause: when you hear “I just need…,” ask, Is this helping me move or helping me wait? If it's the latter, shrink the next step until it's doable now, act, and debrief. This is how you build earned confidence, deepen client results, and lead with integrity. If this resonates, follow the show, share it with a coach who needs a nudge, and leave a review—tell us the explanation you're ready to retire and the action you'll take next.Interested in becoming a High Impact Coach?
