As Otis puts it, “Every time I stood up in front of the boss and said, ‘This is what I think we should do'… I was selling.

Washington isn't broken — it's paralyzed on purpose. In this Morning Report special, Willie Lawson cuts through the noise and explains exactly how Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer managed to drag the United States into the longest government shutdown in American history… and why he's in no hurry to end it. This shutdown didn't happen by accident. It's a pressure tactic, engineered around one thing: Democrats want the ACA subsidies renewed and Medicaid/Medicare cuts reversed, and they're refusing to negotiate on anything until Republicans give in. Meanwhile, Republicans are refusing to discuss those demands until the government reopens. That deadlock has now turned into a historic standoff with real consequences for millions of Americans. We walk through:How Schumer orchestrated this shutdown as a political weaponWhy the Senate has failed 14 times to reach 60 votesWhat happens when subsidies expire at year's endHow the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act” triggered this collisionWhat the media is hiding about the budget mathAnd who actually benefits from dragging this outThis isn't just another D.C. food fight. Families, service members, and federal workers are caught in the middle — while politicians posture for 2026. Willie breaks down the stakes, the spin, and the strategy, and puts the responsibility right where it belongs. If you want to understand the shutdown without the fog machine, this is the Morning Report you need.

Ever wondered why it's so hard to get business leaders interested in team wellness? In this conversation with Alex Cartmill, operator of Vibrant Yoga, Cam and Otis explore the fascinating intersection of wellness and business leadership."If the leader doesn't have a personal issue, they're likely not going to recognize an issue in the team," Alex explains, revealing one of the biggest challenges in bringing yoga and wellness practices into corporate environments. From discussing how to "open the door" with skeptical executives to exploring what happens when team members discover their purpose (and sometimes leave), this episode offers rare insights into the human side of business wellness.The conversation takes an unexpected turn when Otis suggests "Hard Rock Yoga" as a potential way to break through to resistant clients—and Alex doesn't immediately dismiss the idea. There's a genuine exploration of how wellness practices need to meet people where they are, not where wellness professionals wish they would be.Whether you're a business leader curious about team wellness or a wellness professional trying to break into the corporate world, this episode offers practical wisdom about building bridges between these often-disconnected domains.More About Alex:Alex has been an entrepreneur his entire life and now runs a business as an operator for other growing organizations -- through both hands-on & advisory work. Alex is currently helping manage Vibrant Yoga, a corporate & private wellness company based out of Chicago. After a short stint as a Personal Trainer, Alex began managing a business development program and mentorship for health professionals, building a team of more than 10 and taking in over 6,000 students during his 4-year stint there. Since then, Alex has been managing businesses and projects for a variety of remote organizations, from General Manager of Personal Trainer certification body Fitness Mentors, to Director of Operations of marketing consultancy Forget The Funnel, to continuously growing and adapting his own business as an operator.

Ever wondered why changing habits feels like an uphill battle?Behavioral scientist Matt Wallert pulls back the curtain on how human behavior can be systematically designed and changed – not through wishful thinking, but through a scientific process.What if culture change, product design, or even personal transformation wasn't guesswork but a process as reliable as engineering?In this episode of Change Wired, I sit down with behavioral scientist, author, and “empathetic scientific activist” Matt Wallaert to talk about the science - and the humanity - behind designing change that actually happens.We get into everything from M&Ms to meeting culture, VR boxing to corporate ethics, and why fuzzy words in leadership are killing your results. Matt breaks down how all behavior results from competing forces – promoting pressures that make behaviors more likely and inhibiting pressures that make them less likely. Through practical examples ranging from M&Ms to VR boxing to parenting, Matt demonstrates how small environmental changes can create massive behavioral shifts.Perhaps most fascinating is Matt's insight into organizational change. While companies obsess over changing customer behavior, they often neglect internal behavior design. "Fuzzy leadership language" about wanting "more engaged employees" or "better culture" fails because it doesn't translate to specific, observable behaviors. Matt provides a framework for creating workplaces where people thrive by applying the same rigor to internal behaviors that companies apply to customer acquisition.The conversation takes a thought-provoking turn when Matt and the host discuss the ethics of behavior change. When is it appropriate to change someone's behavior? How do we ensure we're helping people align their actions with their intentions rather than exploiting cognitive weaknesses? Whether you're looking to transform personal habits, lead organizational change, or design products that genuinely improve lives, this episode offers effective frameworks for making behavior change systematic, ethical, and effective.We dive into:Why defining specific behaviors is the missing first step in almost every change effortThe difference between naïve behavior change and evidence-based designHow to think about promoting vs. inhibiting pressures (and why it matters more than motivation)Real-life examples from parenting, product design, and internal culture changeEthics in behavioral science: intention–action gaps, autonomy, and long-term thinkingHow leaders can stop hiding behind values statements and start engineering cultures that workIt's practical. It's funny in places.
