Podcasts about Excellence

In which we talk about a book dying on submission (and the pain of that!) as well as being STUBBORN enough to keep going. Alexandria Bellefleur is a bestselling and award-winning author of swoony contemporary romance often featuring loveable grumps and the sunshine characters who bring them to their knees. Her debut novel, Written in the Stars, was a 2021 Lambda Literary Award winner and a 2020 winner of The Ripped Bodice Awards for Excellence in Romantic Fiction. The Devil She Knows is her most recent novel.

In this episode of the Nerdy Photographer Podcast, we're taking to the skies—literally. I sat down with award-winning photographer and author Chase Guttman, whose groundbreaking book on drone photography helped launch an entire generation of aerial image-makers. As one of the earliest voices in the drone photography space, Chase brings insight, experience, and a healthy dose of sky-high inspiration. We talk about what it means to compose an image when your camera is 400 feet off the ground, how to think three-dimensionally when navigating space and light, and the gear that every aspiring drone photographer should consider. Whether you're just getting started or looking to take your drone work to the next level (pun definitely intended), this conversation is packed with valuable tips and tools. Chase also shares his thoughts on the creative freedom drones offer photographers, the importance of storytelling from above, and how to stay legally safe and respectful while flying. Spoiler: it's not just about dodging birds and watching your battery life—although those are important too. So if you've ever looked up at the sky and wondered what your photography might look like from that vantage point, this episode is for you. Tune in to learn from one of the pioneers of drone imagery and find out how you can bring new perspective—literally and creatively—to your work.

"Every community has different values, and every community should have different choices. And that's why local food is so important so that local communities and local farmers can decide what's most important to them and how they want to connect the people who grow our food with the people who are seeking nourishment." —Andy Naja-Riese "The health of our Farmers Market is really dependent upon the health of our farmers." —Tanner Keys   Wonder why local food sometimes costs more, or if it's really worth the effort to shop there?

Adrian joined Eagle in 2008 from the hedge fund world and has helped build a team almost entirely comprised of analysts with similar DNA.

Want to live your best life? In this episode, Randy talks about Inner Excellence and why real success starts inside you. He shares wisdom from Jim Murphy, Rudyard Kipling, and C.S. Lewis that will challenge how you see winning, losing, and even pride. If you've ever been stuck chasing money, status, or looks, this message will hit home. Get ready to slow down, look inward, and find the secret to true greatness. 

Steve talked about two of our core values this week. At Ekklesia, we want to Glorify Jesus above all else. We also want to Pursue Excellence as an act of honoring God. As well, we introduce our next texting service. You can text in any prayer request you may have or text the word "beyond" to 833-304-2585 to be added to a list of action steps that will be texted out on Monday mornings.

Big goals are exciting—but setting a challenge for yourself is transformative. Whether it's a wellness program like 75 Hard, training for your first 5K, making a revenue target at work, climbing a mountain, or finally tackling that house renovation, a defined challenge pushes you beyond comfort and into growth. In this episode, Kate explores why challenges are so powerful, what science says about the mental and physical benefits of pushing your limits, and how to design a challenge that energizes rather than exhausts you. From health to career to creativity, you'll learn why taking on something difficult isn't just about crossing a finish line—it's about discovering who you really are along the way. Kate also shares personal stories and practical tips for choosing the right challenge, staying motivated, and celebrating progress without burning out. If you've been waiting for a sign to test your own limits, this is it.

This week we sit down with Suzanne Konstance, Vice-President and General Manager for Legal and Regulatory US at Wolters Kluwer. She outlines how the company supports professionals in highly regulated fields with software and authoritative content. Operations span multiple countries with a deliberately local approach, where teams design solutions for each market. Listeners get a clear view of scope, from enterprise legal management to recent additions such as Brightflag, alongside deep subject expertise.Konstance explains a core focus on regulatory compliance across securities, tax, IP, and employment. The aim is simple, help clients stay out of court. Continuous change drives editorial work, with authors and editors tracking shifts, executive orders, and practical effects. Provenance, version history, and context matter, supported by structured meta tagging which helps search and AI retrieve the right source every time.In a segment on trust, the conversation moves to standards for accuracy and auditability. Clients tell Wolters Kluwer quality outranks speed for research, so the team emphasizes authoritative sources and transparent sourcing. Konstance walks through a recent non-exclusive content license with Harvey for primary law from US and German collections, part of a broader collaboration strategy which also includes VitalLaw AI and new cross-border features. The goal is a reliable workflow where answers cite sources, show currency, and fit real practice.Real user labs reinforce these priorities. At AALL, librarians worked hands-on in a sandbox session with no guided prompts, pushing tools to limits and asking tough questions. One theme dominated, transparency, with live citations and source trails visible during use. Editors remain in the loop to curate likely questions, collect feedback, and refine outputs, while openness about progress helps teams separate market sizzle from dependable results.Looking ahead, Konstance expects roles to shift toward managing agents and setting clear instructions, similar to supervising a room full of interns, with strong expertise still required for oversight. Teams will need to train newcomers on fundamentals, auditing, and controls, so technology serves professionals, not the reverse. She also shares sources she follows, industry conversations with customers, conferences, LinkedIn, X, plus guidance from a long-standing internal Center of Excellence for AI.

Elizabeth Rowe is a leadership and executive coach whose career sits at the unique crossroads of world-class performance, leadership coaching, and advocacy. For two decades, she was the principal flutist of the Boston Symphony Orchestra. In 2018, she made national headlines with a landmark equal pay lawsuit — an act of courage that earned her recognition as one of The Boston Globe's “Bostonians of the Year,” calling her “The Fighter.”  During her TEDx talk The Lonely Onlys, she shared how imagination and vulnerability can help us build connection and community. In her coaching work, Elizabeth works at the intersection of personal and professional development, helping high achievers thrive in high-pressure environments and navigate major career or life transitions with ease and confidence. Summary In this conversation, Elizabeth Rowe shares her journey from being a principal flutist with the Boston Symphony Orchestra to transitioning into leadership coaching. She reflects on the emotional farewell to her music career, the challenges of maintaining passion, and the importance of quality over quantity in practice. Elizabeth discusses the pressures of live performances, the significance of emotional expression in music, and her experiences with mistakes and internal pressures. She also addresses her lawsuit under the Equal Pay Act, the courage to explore new paths, and the evolution of her definition of excellence. Ultimately, Elizabeth emphasizes the importance of trusting the process and finding fulfillment beyond the spotlight.   Takeaways ·        Resilience is forged through setbacks and failures. ·        Quality and focus in practice matter more than hours logged. ·        Success comes from focusing on inputs, not just outcomes. ·        Perfectionism can protect but also isolate. ·        Vulnerability creates connection and growth. ·        Most obstacles for high achievers are internal, not external. ·        Excellence evolves from proving worth to providing value. ·        True fulfillment comes from connection, purpose, and service.   Notes Websites: I Am Elizabeth Rowe Sign up for newsletter

Daniel 6, we see more than a story about a lions' den—it's a picture of faithfulness in the face of opposition. Daniel was trustworthy, neither corrupt nor negligent, and his consistent devotion to God set him apart. Even when jealous leaders conspired against him, and even when prayer was outlawed, Daniel stayed faithful.In this message, Pastor Josh unpacks how Daniel's integrity, excellence, and faithfulness positioned him for God's protection—not just in the den, but in his daily life. We'll explore what it means to live with an excellent spirit, to resist corruption, and to remain steadfast when the “lions” of life roar against us.Just as God shut the mouths of the lions for Daniel, He is still our refuge today. And just as Daniel points us to Jesus—who also faced a sealed pit but rose victorious—we are reminded that our God is faithful, and death itself has been defeated.

The Yankees used to represent excellence. The Mets need a winning streak to hold off multiple teams chasing them.

"Everything starts with me… I didn't deserve what I got as a child, but it's now on me to figure out how to get out of that." In this episode, Nick speaks with speaks Christina Russell, founder of the RusMix brand, about her journey through personal and religious trauma, the importance of self-awareness, and the healing process. Christina shares her experiences with a past relationship that led to significant emotional turmoil and how it intertwined with her upbringing and faith. What to listen for: We don't have to face healing from trauma alone Healing is a process that requires self-awareness and action Negative thoughts can be protective yet still need to be managed Community and connection play a vital role in the healing journey It's essential to have grace and kindness towards oneself during tough times The journey of self-discovery can be exhausting but is ultimately rewarding "I laid on the ground for days… but when I was open to receive it, the right help came at the right time." Real healing often begins the moment we drop resistance and allow ourselves to be supported Hitting bottom isn't the end, It's often the beginning of something powerful Sometimes the help we need doesn't arrive until we're ready to actually receive it There are dark moments that feel endless, but they can lead to breakthrough if we stay open The right support doesn't always require a fight; when you're ready, it often meets you halfway "Name your negative thoughts. Tell them, 'You're not needed right now.'" Naming the thought/feeling gives you power over it instead of letting it control you You can give your inner critic a name, it helps separate it from your true self Acknowledge your thoughts and set boundaries Most negative thoughts are just your brain trying to keep you safe You get to decide which thoughts get airtime and which ones get dismissed About Christina Russell Christina is a mindset and self-worth coach, founder of RusMix, and host of the podcast Breaking Curses with Excellence. She helps people break generational cycles, stop self-sabotaging, and step into their power through healing-centered coaching and faith-based mindset work. Her mission is to help people reclaim their worth and grow into the healthiest, most confident version of themselves—inside and out. https://TheRusmix.com https://www.linkedin.com/in/christina-russell-strong-21502621a https://www.instagram.com/rusmixcoaching https://www.patreon.com/RusMixExcellence Resources: Interested in starting your own podcast or need help with one you already have?

When we talk about insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes, the conversation almost always revolves around sugar, carbs, fat, or body weight. But there's one factor that rarely gets enough attention: muscle mass.   Skeletal muscle isn't just for strength or aesthetics. It's the single largest site of glucose disposal in the body, responsible for up to 80% of how we use sugar after a meal.    Which means that having low muscle mass actually increases insulin resistance, even if your weight or BMI looks “normal.” On the flipside, building muscle is one of the most effective ways to counteract a genetic predisposition to diabetes. The surprising problem is that most people are unaware of how to do it. We've been taught to obsess over cardio, calorie counting, or cutting carbs, but rarely taught how resistance training, protein intake, and lifestyle choices protect our metabolism through muscle. Why is muscle mass a game-changer for insulin resistance? How do we make sure we're optimizing our nutrition and exercise? In this episode, I'm joined by Dr. Maguy Chiha, a triple board–certified endocrinologist in internal medicine, endocrinology & metabolism, and obesity medicine. Together, we explore the hidden role of muscle mass in insulin resistance, why so many patients are overlooked until it's too late, and practical steps to increase muscle and protect your metabolic health.   Things You'll Learn In This Episode  -Muscle is your glucose engine Skeletal muscle, not the liver, is the real powerhouse of glucose control. If 75–80% of sugar disposal happens here, what happens when muscle shrinks with age or fills with fat? -The hidden risk of “skinny fat” Why a normal BMI doesn't protect you. How visceral fat and low lean mass in certain populations (like South Asians) make diabetes risk skyrocket—even at “healthy” weights. -Protein timing & resistance training When it comes to exercise, cardio alone won't cut it. How does lifting weights and eating protein daily make your body burn fat without starving? Guest Bio   Dr. Chiha is a triple board-certified physician in internal medicine, endocrinology and metabolism, and obesity medicine. She completed her undergrad and graduate medical education at the American University of Beirut before moving to the United States to complete her residency in Michigan. And later she did her endocrinology, diabetes, and metabolism fellowship at Loyola College University in Illinois. She worked for several years at Mount Sinai Hospital in Chicago, where she headed the division of endocrinology and was the physician champion of the Diabetes Center for Excellence, as well as the Diabetes Service Line Director. In her current practice, Dr. Chiha practices general endocrinology, but has a focus and interest in diabetes management, obesity management, as well as women's health and menopause.

Following the school shooting in Minneapolis, The Christian Post has offered a definitive answer for why these massacres keep happening and why gun restrictions won't work—people are evil. But why don't politically conservative Christians apply this logic to any other issues? Surprising new data show that more young men than women want to be parents one day, and there's a growing trend of single men becoming fathers by choice. What does this reveal about our society and the breakdown of dating and marriage? Theologian and best-selling author, Miroslav Volf, discusses his new book, “The Cost of Ambition.” He says our culture of competition is damaging, and too many Christians ignore what the Bible says about the dangers of ambition. Also this week, Phil brings us news from the glowing future.

What exactly is autopathy and how can we benefit from it? In this episode, Jiri will discuss the autopathic principle that demonstrates its ability to remove or markedly improve chronic or recurring problems. He also discusses the device he developed for dependable autopathic dilution preparation at home. Jiri Cehovsky, M.A. has been practicing homeopathy since 1980 in Prague. He discovered autopathy and started using it systematically in 2002. He was the first to describe it in his articles and books published in English, German, and Czech. Some elements of his method were nonetheless used earlier. Jiri Cehovsky had found some mentions of them in old Indian Upanishads, in the history of yoga and Buddhism, and mainly in homeopathy; however, in 2002 he introduced autopathy as a comprehensive system of healing. He designed the Autopathy Bottle, an instrument for reliable preparation of the autopathic dilution at home. His widely known books are Autopathy – a Homeopathic Journey to Harmony was published also in  Germany, USA and Great Britain. His recent books are Get Well with Autopathy and The Autopathy Handbook. He published many articles in Czech and international journals. He is co-author of the Czech homeopathic diagnostic software KENT and HOMEO. He teaches Autopathy and homeopathy at the Prague Homeopathic Academy and lectures in courses on autopathy. He founded the Czech Homeopathic Society and served for many years as its chairperson.

EPISODE 145 | Trumpspiracies: What a Tangled Web Ever since Donald Trump first decided to run for the highest office in the United States, he has promoted an astonishing number of conspiracy theories. It's almost as if a New York real estate baron famous for lying to clients, not paying his bills and exploiting loopholes for his own benefit had learned, somewhere along the way, that “truth” is a slippery subject.

The Portland Public School board is set to approve the sale for the “One North Building” as a home for the “Center for Black Student Excellence.” The District is prepared to spend $16 million from the 2020 construction bond. Yet, they've never explained how the Center will operate or who it will serve. The name of the Center implies it will serve Black students, but the staff report claims it will be open to everyone. If true, it should be called the Center for Student Excellence.PPS serves about 44-thousand students over 150 square miles, so how will those students travel to the Center before or after school? The building has 10 parking spaces and isn't zoned for buses.The staff report also states “student use will be limited.” If so, why purchase a new building with new operating costs? The district already has too many schools while enrollment is in decline.Learning takes place everywhere in the district. Spending millions on a new building is unlikely to have a real effect on academic achievement.Perhaps while evaluating the building, the Board can re-evaluate the Center's vision with a goal to bring student excellence into every school and tailoring experiences to students from different ethnic backgrounds. Maybe investing in Centers for Student Excellence wouldn't require a new building at all.

Complacency is the slow death of leadership. When we tolerate “good enough,” we quietly set the ceiling for our team's potential—and our own. When you say “good enough” is acceptable, you erode excellence. You send the message that mediocrity is tolerated, and that message ripples across culture, morale, and results. People disengage. Teams plateau. Opportunities slip away. As Jim Collins reminds us: “Good is the enemy of great.” And Gallup's research backs it up: only about 2 in 10 employees strongly agree that their performance is managed in a way that motivates them to do outstanding work. That's what happens when leaders accept mediocrity instead of inspiring excellence. The good news is that raising the bar doesn't mean driving people to exhaustion. Excellence isn't about perfection; it's about clarity, ownership, and progress. As Brené Brown says, “Clear is kind. Unclear is unkind.” When leaders clearly define expectations, celebrate growth, and model accountability, teams rise to meet higher standards. And it starts with us. We can't expect our people to reject complacency if we're coasting ourselves. Abraham Lincoln put it simply: “Whatever you are, be a good one.” Holding ourselves accountable to higher standards inspires trust, builds credibility, and makes excellence contagious. In this episode of Reflect Forward, I introduce a tool I call the Ownership Audit, a quarterly practice designed to identify and eliminate complacency within yourself, your team, and your organization. I'll walk you through how to use it to ask the hard questions, check for alignment with your mission and values, and take courageous action when “good enough” has crept in. Because the truth is, mediocrity doesn't just cost culture, it costs money. McKinsey research shows that companies with high-performance cultures are 3.7 times more likely to be top financial performers. Steve Jobs once said, “Be a yardstick of quality. Some people aren't used to an environment where excellence is expected.” As leaders, we must become that yardstick. We must model what it looks like to expect and deliver excellence, not perfection, but the commitment to always do better. Mic Drop Moments • “Complacency is the slow death of leadership.” • “When leaders tolerate ‘good enough,' they set the ceiling for their team's potential.” • “Mediocrity doesn't just cost culture; it costs money.” • “Excellence isn't perfection; it's clarity and ownership.” • “If you tolerate average, you'll never unlock extraordinary.” Key Takeaways 1. Tolerating “good enough” erodes both culture and results. 2. Complacency spreads like a virus; leaders set the bar. 3. Raising standards is about clarity and compassion, not perfection. 4. The Ownership Audit helps leaders spot and eliminate mediocrity. 5. Holding yourself accountable to higher standards inspires trust, energizes your team, and keeps complacency from creeping in.

"This transition was about more than just a business model. It was about trust for the community." When Deborah Visconi took the helm at Bergen New Bridge Medical Center, she wasn't just changing a hospital's tax status—she was rebuilding an institution's soul. Tasked with transforming a for-profit hospital into a true safety net for New Jersey's most vulnerable communities, Deborah brought something unique to the challenge: she'd lived it. "Growing up in a Latinx household in an underserved community, I understood what it meant to navigate barriers and be overlooked," Deborah shares. That lived experience became her North Star as she rebuilt Bergen New Bridge from the ground up, ensuring no one would be turned away based on ability to pay, language, immigration status, or circumstance. Seven and a half years later, the transformation is remarkable. Under Deborah's leadership, the hospital now accepts every type of insurance available in New Jersey. They've opened a Depression Center of Excellence, launched comprehensive addiction treatment programs, and created specialized care for eating disorders—all while operating as a non-profit in challenging economic times. "We don't innovate here with glitzy towers and glass buildings. We innovate around people," Deborah explains. During COVID-19, while the world was falling apart and people were dying at their doorsteps, her team remained that "beacon of health, hope, and healing" their community desperately needed. In this powerful episode of Inspiring Women with Laurie McGraw, Deborah also reveals: How "Chief Engagement Officer" became her real title—and why her phone is always on Why technology will never replace compassion in healthcare The three pillars of transformation: partnerships, training, and redefining success beyond financials How holistic care transforms outcomes for addiction and mental health Why building your own table beats waiting for a seat at someone else's The invisible barriers women still face in healthcare leadership Her bold vision for the next generation of women leaders "Equity isn't an initiative—it's embedded in everything we do," Deborah states firmly. Even as DEI becomes a polarizing term, she refuses to waver: "Being able to provide equitable care equals excellence and quality care delivery." For women aspiring to leadership, her advice is direct: "It takes courage to take those steps and not be afraid to use your voice. If you're not given a seat at the table, bring your own seat—or better yet, build your own table." From frontline phlebotomist to transformational CEO, Deborah's grassroots journey proves that the most powerful healthcare innovations come not from technology or buildings, but from leaders who understand their communities' struggles firsthand. "I want future leaders to see they belong at the helm of major institutions, particularly women and Latinx women," she reflects. "I want my legacy to be one of inclusion, respect, and extraordinary relationships." At a time when healthcare faces unprecedented challenges, Deborah Visconi is showing what's possible when hospitals truly serve as safety nets—catching everyone who falls, regardless of who they are or where they come from.
