Podcasts about Fairness

Send a textFor years, organizations have poured millions into DEI training.And yet most employees still report discrimination. Promotion gaps persist. Trust remains uneven.So what's going on?In this episode of FUTUREPROOF., I sit down with Lily Zheng — strategist and author of Fixing Fairness — to interrogate a hard truth: much of what we call DEI doesn't work. Not because fairness is unpopular. Not because inclusion is misguided. But because we keep trying to fix people instead of fixing systems.Lily introduces the FAIR framework — Fairness, Access, Inclusion, and Representation — and argues that the real leverage isn't in workshops. It's in incentives, evaluation criteria, hiring processes, and executive accountability.We explore:Why standalone DEI training can backfireThe “missing stair” metaphor — and how organizations normalize dysfunctionThe Cobra Effect of poorly designed diversity incentivesWhy representation is ultimately about trust, not opticsWhat meritocracy gets wrong about itselfAnd why rebranding DEI won't solve structural problemsAt a moment when DEI faces political backlash and corporate retrenchment, Lily makes a counterintuitive claim: the future of workplace inclusion will be more rigorous, more measured, and more accountable — not less.This is a systems conversation.Not about slogans. Not about performative commitments. About incentives, power, and what actually moves outcomes.If you care about leadership, governance, and the second-order effects of institutional design, this episode will challenge you.

Hochleistungskultur in Teams zu entwickeln und wie viele Führungskräfte diese (unbewusst) sabotierenHochleistungskultur klingt nach Sport, Medaillen und noch mehr Output. In der Tech-Realität endet es aber oft in Druck, KPI-Angst und Teams, die lieber schweigen, statt Probleme offen anzusprechen. Genau dann wird es gefährlich, weil wir scheinbar Performance steigern wollen, in Wahrheit aber psychologische Sicherheit abbauen und damit die Organisation in eine Angstzone schieben.In dieser Interview-Episode holen wir uns dafür Verstärkung von Philip Klasen-Schwidetzki, Coach und Organisationsentwickler sowie Gründer von Troody. Wir nutzen das Modell von Amy Edmondson, psychologische Sicherheit plus Accountability, und übersetzen es in den Alltag von Engineering Teams, Performance Management und Leadership. Du hörst, warum mehr Messen nicht automatisch besser ist, wie du Ziele sauber rahmst, wie Caring und Daring Leadership zusammengehören und welche Sabotagemuster Führungskräfte häufig triggern, zum Beispiel Verantwortung an sich ziehen, Konflikte zu schnell entscheiden oder Teams in eine Komfortzone oder Angstzone kippen lassen.Zum Mitnehmen gibt es Kontrollfragen für ein Selbstassessment, konkrete Formulierungen für Mandate und Pushback im Middle Management, plus ein paar sehr alltagstaugliche Mikrosituationen, die über Team Performance entscheiden.Bonus: Am Ende wartet sogar ein kostenloses Lernprogramm rund um Caring und Daring, Link in den Shownotes, aber nur, wenn du bis dahin nicht schon aus der Komfortzone weggedöst bist.Unsere aktuellen Werbepartner findest du auf https://engineeringkiosk.dev/partnersDas schnelle Feedback zur Episode:

Gestern vor einem Jahr endete der kurze, intensive Wahlkampf der vorgezogenen Neuwahlen zum 21. Deutschen Bundestag. Damit endete auch ein Überbietungswettbewerb von Versprechungen, mit dem die konkurrierenden Parteien versuchten, möglichst viele Wählerstimmen zu gewinnen. Weil Realpolitik in einer Demokratie stets ein »hartes Geschäft« ist, bleiben Werte wie Ehrlichkeit, Fairness und Respekt leider oft auf der Strecke.Nach der Wahl müssen meist viele Punkte der Versprechen wieder »einkassiert« werden, weil die Kanzler-Fraktion mangels Mehrheit nicht »durchregieren« kann, oder weil die Gegenfinanzierung fehlt. Das ernüchtert den Wähler und dämpft das Vertrauen in die Politik. Doch ehrlicherweise müssen wir zugeben, dass auch wir selbst schon Zusagen und Versprechungen gegeben haben, die wir hinterher – aus unterschiedlichen Gründen – nicht eingehalten haben.Gibt es denn überhaupt eine Instanz im Universum, die absolut vertrauenswürdig ist? Ja, die gibt es! In Psalm 111,7 schreibt der Psalmist: »Was er [Gott] tut, ist zuverlässig und recht, seine Gebote verdienen Vertrauen.«Damit das auch unsere persönliche Erfahrung werden kann, ist es erforderlich, dieses Vertrauen in einer konkreten Lebenssituation zu wagen. Ein erster Schritt kann z. B. ein einfaches Gebet vor einer schwierigen Entscheidung sein. Oder wir wissen, dass wir etwas in Ordnung bringen müssen. Gott freut sich in jedem Fall, wenn wir ihn ernst nehmen und ihm vertrauen. Er hat die Macht und die Weisheit, um »durchzuregieren«, also die Dinge so führen, dass auch wir im Rückblick feststellen können: »Er hat alles wohlgemacht!« (Markus 7,37). Auch wenn es länger dauert, als uns lieb ist: Gottes Eingreifen kommt spätestens rechtzeitig.Bernhard CzechDiese und viele weitere Andachten online lesenWeitere Informationen zu »Leben ist mehr« erhalten Sie unter www.lebenistmehr.de

Lily Zheng, Fixing Fairness Lily Zheng is a sought-after speaker, strategist, and organizational consultant who specializes in hands-on systemic change to turn positive intentions into positive outcomes for workplaces and everyone in them. A dedicated changemaker and advocate, Lily has had their work published in the Harvard Business Review, New York Times, and NPR. They are the author of Fixing Fairness: 4 Tenets to Transform Diversity Backlash into Progress for All (Amazon, Bookshop)*. When it comes to fairness in the workplace, our society is quick to zero in on what divides us. Yet, there is broad agreement across all demographics on many key principles. In this conversation, Lily and I explore how leaders can influence the system to better work for everyone. Key Points Many of us assume that fewer people support the value of diversity than actually do. When asked, 82% of people support pro-diversity statements. The most popular/traditional approaches to fixing fairness in the workplace tend to be the least effective. Our tendency is to focus on the behavior of individuals, when in fact organizational systems have the most significant impact on fairness. When considering a fairness initiative or intervention, begin with the practice of understanding and storytelling, just like many change initiatives. Resist the temptation to check boxes with “quick fixes” such as simply bringing in a speaker or hosting a one-time event. This rarely helps in any sustainable way and sometimes worsens existing dynamics. If you have a seat at the leadership table, make the case for thoughtful design and involvement of stakeholders at all points in the process, just as many effective organizations do on any strategic change initiative.

Public broadcasters are supposed to operate as a public trustee. This allows people to get information from both sides of the aisle. Media broadcast giants like Comcast and Disney have become gatekeepers to this information that push liberal ideas into local programming. FCC Chair Brendan Carr is here to give us a deep dive on how the fairness doctrine works, what equal time means when it comes to airing a political figure and what qualifies as bonafide news. The Biden administration weaponized the media and the FCC led by Brendan Carr is bringing fairness back to our airwaves.

Feel the chill of the Winter Games—and the heat of the lab—where medals are measured in milliseconds and built on decades of design. We pull back the curtain on the quiet inventions that make elite sport possible, from fluid-dynamic swimsuits to carbon-plated marathon shoes, from the hinged brilliance of the clapskate to the high-speed vision of tracking and timing systems. The story isn't scandal; it's structure. We trace how ideas move from a whiteboard to the world stage through patents that document methods, invite competition, and help set the boundaries that keep sport both fair and thrilling.We start in the pool, where bonded seams, compression maps, and hydrodynamic panels turned “just a suit” into a system—and where rule updates redirected, not punished, progress. On the roads, we break down the mechanics of energy return: foam that rebounds, plates that guide, and filings that map curvature and geometry so rivals can design smarter. On the ice, the clapskate's heel hinge extends blade contact and power transfer, proving that tiny mechanical shifts can reshape an entire discipline when paired with rigorous disclosure and iteration.Fairness gets its own engineering arc. High-speed cameras, calibrated sensors, and photo finish systems transform human limits of perception into trustworthy data. Companies refine optics, synchronization, and algorithms, then publish their methods through patents—fuel for a healthier ecosystem where accuracy becomes a form of respect. Along the way, we share five clear takeaways: innovation is part of sport; patents structure progress; rules and tech evolve together; precision builds trust; and small structural changes can move mountains.If you love sport and love ideas, hit play, share with a friend who obsesses over gear and split times, and leave a review to help more curious listeners find us.Send a textCheck out "Protection for the Inventive Mind" – available now on Amazon in print and Kindle formats.

Send a textVIDEO PODCAST HEREWhen we talk about God's justice, it doesn't always seem fair from our human perspective.   This may make it hard to exercise faith in Him.   We are taught about fairness in this life.  We desire things to be "fair".   But our human brains are limited.  We don't see the bigger picture.   At times, God's justice does not seem to align with our idea of fairness.   This may make it hard to exercise faith Him who may not seem "fair" according to our understanding.   We take a look at the word and what it says about God's justice, and what happens when men try and supplant that justice with their idea of "fairness".   Next episode we will look at what this means for us in our every day walk, and how we need to put our trust in a just God, even when He might not seem "fair" according to our limited understanding.   Restored Gospel - Scripture Search and Study Resources Contact us:restoredgospelpodcast@gmail.comMusic by Michael Barrett

Tomás Bogardus joins to discuss his book "The Nature of the Sexes" and argues for a reproductive-functional account of biological sex. According to Bogardus, males and females are defined by the reproductive function their bodies are structured to perform: producing sperm or eggs. Even when that function is not realized and no sperm or eggs are produced, a person's sex remains the same, because it is grounded in biological organization. To defend this view, Bogardus considers intersex and DSD cases, critiques contextualist accounts that treat sex as domain-dependent, and argues for a unified meaning of “male” and “female.” The conversation later turns to whether sex is essential or changeable, as well as debates about pronouns, sports, and medical interventions for minors.[00:00] Introduction to the Debate on Sex[00:23] The Delivery Room Thought Experiment: "It's a Boy/Girl"[02:04] Sex as Reproductive Function[07:41 ]Gametes, Competitor Theories, and the Non-Producers Objection[11:29] Intersex & DSD Cases[19:23] Contextualism and Cluster Concepts: Sex in Sports, Bathrooms, Dating?[26:23] Conjunction Reduction & Animal Examples: Rooster vs Crocodile[30:24] One Unified Meaning of Sex Terms[32:06] Are ‘Man' and ‘Woman' Social Roles or Biological Sexes?[37:15] Is Sex Essential or Contingent?

Tom Hoffman shares the Family Private Enterprise Model for business succession. As an attorney and CPA at Knox Law Firm, Tom discusses his 30+ years of experience in business succession, complex estate planning, and asset protection, focusing on how families can successfully transition businesses across generations. He explains that while most owners want to keep their companies in the family, few heirs are truly prepared to lead, making clarity of goals, fairness (not necessarily equality), and strong communication essential to preserving family harmony. Tom outlines common pitfalls such as forcing children into roles they don't want or failing to define objectives early. He also contrasts selling versus retaining the business, highlighting tax implications, the risks of dissipating liquid wealth, the role of family offices and trusts in preserving capital, and the broader community impact of keeping businesses local. We discuss... While about 70% of owners want to keep their business in the family, only 20–25% of children are typically prepared to lead it. Succession planning should start with clearly defining the family's goals rather than jumping straight into structural decisions. Fairness in dividing assets does not always mean equality, especially when some children work in the business and others do not. Lack of communication is the primary driver of family conflict during transitions. "Self-realization" conversations help family members come to their own conclusions about what is fair, preserving harmony. Outside consultants and counselors are often necessary when emotional, mental health, or substance issues complicate planning. Forcing children into leadership roles they do not want can create long-term personal and business damage. Hiring a professional outside CEO can dramatically improve performance and free the senior generation from daily operations. Professionalized management often increases EBITDA significantly and expands the pool of qualified leadership talent. Even if the business is eventually sold, building a strong management team substantially increases valuation. Family offices and multigenerational trusts can help preserve and strategically deploy large pools of liquid wealth. The "family private enterprise model" offers an alternative to selling by keeping ownership while professionalizing operations. Succession planning is a process that requires coaching, buy-in, and intentional cultural transition rather than a one-time transaction.

What happens when fear—not ignorance—keeps people from building wealth?Tax expert and author Hannah Cole unpacks the real reasons so many people feel paralyzed around money, taxes, and financial decisions. We discuss how cultural conditioning and lack of education make taxes feel intimidating—especially for women and first-time founders—and why the system is often more flexible than people think.This conversation is about agency: understanding tax brackets, startup losses, and the difference between avoiding taxes and engaging strategically with them. At its core, it's a reframing of taxes—not as punishment, but as partnership. Because clarity, not fear, creates power.In this episode of Common Denominator with Moshe Popack, you'll learn: - Fear of numbers is a common issue that many face.- Tax literacy can empower individuals to take control of their finances.- The tax code is designed for humans, not robots.- There is a significant lack of tax education in schools.- Understanding tax brackets can prevent unnecessary fear.- The IRS is generally accommodating if approached honestly.- Business ownership offers significant tax advantages.- The government prioritizes economic growth through business support.- Many wealthy individuals evade taxes, creating a fairness issue.- Education is key to reducing fear and increasing tax compliance.Timestamps: 00:00 Understanding the Fear of Money02:48 The Importance of Tax Literacy06:03 Debunking Tax Myths and Fears09:10 Strategies for Tax Efficiency12:10 The Role of Government in Taxation15:06 Future of Work and Taxes18:07 Empowering Through Education21:01 The Fairness of the Tax SystemLike this episode?

In this episode of Everyday Conversations on Race, host Simma Lieberman welcomes Verna Williams, CEO of Equal Justice Works, former law professor, and former dean, for a powerful conversation about race, justice, and access to legal representation in America. Verna explains why race remains a necessary topic—not to assign personal blame, but to understand how systems shaped by slavery and segregation continue to influence opportunity and social hierarchy today. She reflects on growing up in the Washington, DC and Maryland area, attending both predominantly white and predominantly Black schools. Those experiences sharpened her awareness of being "different" and highlighted how segregated many of our lives still are. Even today, she encounters moments when someone tells her she is the first Black person they've had a meaningful conversation with—evidence of how separation persists. As CEO of Equal Justice Works—the nation's largest postgraduate public-interest legal fellowship program—Verna works to address a staggering reality: 92% of low-income people's civil legal needs go unmet. She explains how civil legal problems such as eviction, wage garnishment, loss of benefits, and family instability create economic insecurity and can even lead to involvement in the criminal legal system. Unlike criminal cases, there is no guaranteed right to counsel in high-stakes civil matters, leaving millions to navigate life-altering situations alone. Verna describes how Equal Justice Works partners with law firms, corporations, and foundations to fund fellowships that send lawyers into underserved communities. She highlights the organization's Disaster Resilience Program, created after Hurricane Katrina, which helps communities navigate FEMA claims, insurance issues, document replacement, and preparedness planning. She also shares her personal journey—from broadcast journalism to law—motivated by fairness and shaped by the civil rights and women's rights movements. Her career has included work on voting rights, women's rights, veterans' benefits, and debt collection reform. She also argued—and won—a 5–4 U.S. Supreme Court case establishing that schools must address known student-on-student sexual harassment under Title IX. The conversation explores immigration representation, reports of ICE detentions at court hearings, and practical ways non-lawyers can help—through translation, court accompaniment, and local volunteer efforts. Verna encourages listeners to stay informed through reputable sources, vote, and engage locally in school boards and city councils. She also shares personal reflections on music and film—and clarifies her role as Michelle Obama's oral historian during the early White House years, after the two were law school classmates. This episode connects race, law, and economic justice—and offers clear examples of how everyday engagement can strengthen democracy.

Verna brings with her an extensive background of experience teaching and practicing law, as well as researching civil and women's rights. Verna previously served as the dean of the University of Cincinnati College of Law, where she was a professor prior to becoming dean, and taught courses on family law, gender discrimination, and constitutional law.

Private righteousness claims: I don't murder, I don't steal, I'm polite to others, I volunteer sometimes, I wash my hands after using the bathroom, I'm a good person. Overflow righteousness says: Our community redistributes resources so nobody goes hungry. We shelter people the state wants to cage, and absorb legal liability to protect the vulnerable. The budget reflects that we value other people's survival over institutional preservation. We organize collectively to confront systems that grind people down. Private righteousness is manageable, respectable, safe. Overflow righteousness can get you in trouble. Subscribe to us on iTunes! Sermon text: web | doc

What is the U.S. Constitution and why does it matter to kids today?In this History-sode, we explore the story behind America's most important rulebook: why it was created, who it protects, and how constitutional rights help keep people safe and free. Told in a clear, age-appropriate way, this episode helps young listeners understand fairness, rules, and their rights as people living in the United States.

Today's guest is Lily Zheng, a strategist and consultant who has spent the last decade working with organizations of every size — from small nonprofits to Fortune 500 companies — helping them build workplaces that actually work for everyone. In a field often clouded by ideology, misinformation, and polarization, Lily brings something refreshingly different: data, systems thinking, and practical results.They were a guest on the podcast before, so today we just focus on their new book, Fixing Fairness: Four Tenets to Transform Diversity Backlash Into Progress for All , Lily argues that the conversation around DEI has gone off track — not because fairness doesn't matter, but because we've failed to communicate and implement it effectively. Instead of slogans or superficial programs, they offer FAIR - a framework built around measurable outcomes, systems change, coalition-building, and true win-win solutions.In this conversation, we explore:Why being “pro-diversity” isn't the same as creating fair systemsThe surprising data gap between support for diversity and belief in DEI programsWhat actually works — and what has failed — over 60 years of workplace reformHow leaders can build coalitions across differenceAnd why fairness may be the language that can move us forwardContact Dino at: dino@al4ep.comWebsites:lilyzheng.coal4ep.comAdditional Guest Links:Lily on AL4EPLinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/lilyzheng308Instagram: @lilyzheng308Lily on SubstackBooks:Fixing FairnessReconstructing DEI DEI DeconstructedAuthentic Leadership For Everyday People / Dino CattaneoDino on LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/dinocattaneoPodcast Instagram –...

In this episode, Steve Fretzin and Tom Conner discuss:Treating note-taking as professional insuranceUsing discomfort to set daily prioritiesChoosing relationships as the foundation of business developmentLetting character determine long-term success Key Takeaways:Relying on memory is a gamble, especially when ideas, tasks, and details arrive constantly. Writing everything down ensures nothing important slips through the cracks. The tool matters less than the habit of capturing thoughts before they disappear.Starting with the task you least want to do lowers anxiety for the rest of the day. Avoidance only prolongs stress, whether with paperwork or difficult phone calls. Momentum is built by confronting discomfort early, not managing it away.Referrals grow out of trust earned through service, generosity, and long-term presence. Bar involvement and community leadership create credibility that no marketing tactic can replace. Strong reputations are built quietly and often pay dividends years later.Integrity functions as a filter for clients, colleagues, and career decisions. Fairness and honesty build trust even with opponents and judges. The same clarity guides how to retire, whom to trust, and how to leave a legacy. "Your reputation is everything, and it's hard to build, and it's easy to destroy." — Tom Conner Check out my new show, Be That Lawyer Coaches Corner, and get the strategies I use with my clients to win more business and love your career again. Ready to go from good to GOAT in your legal marketing game?

In today's episode of The Alan Sanders Show, we dissect "The Anatomy of Fake News" through The Guardian's misleading report on Tulsi Gabbard and an alleged NSA-intercepted phone call involving a person close to Trump. We break down their vague language, unsubstantiated implications, and overnight correction that exposed the smear tactic, echoing last week's "Anatomy of a Hoax." Plus, we tackle Democrats' opposition to voter ID laws and fair election reforms, arguing these stances undermine election integrity and voter confidence.

Welcome to Church Pew Sports Ep 199 - NIL Hits High School: Faith, Fairness & the Future of Student-Athletes Name, Image, and Likeness has officially arrived in Michigan high school sports—and it's opening the door to big questions that go far beyond the playing field. In this episode of Church Pew Sports, the conversation centers on what NIL really means for student-athletes, schools, families, and communities, and how these changes challenge us to think carefully about integrity, fairness, and purpose. With special guest Lorne Plante from State Champs Network, the discussion explores how the Michigan High School Athletic Association is navigating NIL with intentionally narrow rules designed to protect education-based athletics. While only a small percentage of high school athletes are likely to benefit, the ripple effects could be significant—especially when it comes to recruiting concerns, enforcement challenges, and the growing pressure on young athletes to build a personal brand.  The episode also shifts to the national stage with a timely Super Bowl preview, breaking down the unique challenges of the biggest game in sports, from coaching experience to the business machine behind Super Bowl week. Along the way, there's room for lighter moments—Super Bowl snacks, sports gripes, and honest takes on where professional sports sometimes lose their moral compass. As always, Church Pew Sports connects the dots between sports, faith, and everyday life—reminding listeners that purpose, character, and calling matter far more than name recognition or financial opportunity.   This week's CPS Starting Host Lineup: Bill Hobson David Collins --------- Did you know you can now WATCH Church Pew Sports on our new YOUTUBE Channel?

Birgit Rosenberg, Sportchefin des CHIO Aachen, nimmt uns mit hinter die Kulissen der Weltmeisterschaft 2026 in Aachen. Wir sprechen darüber, warum die WM nicht einfach „ein CHIO in größer“ wird, was organisatorisch komplett neu gedacht werden muss – und welche Highlights uns in zwei intensiven Wochen erwarten. Besonders spannend für uns Vielseitigkeitsmenschen: Aachen baut fürs Championat um – inklusive langem Format in der Vielseitigkeit mit erweiterter Strecke, neuen Loops und vielen Alternativen für Sicherheit und Fairness. Außerdem geht's um neue Stallungen, internationale Volunteers, Ticketing (Spoiler: teils schon knapp) und warum Transparenz & Pferdewohl bei der WM eine große Rolle spielen.

Schule ganz neu denken - das wünscht sich die Autorin und Digital-Expertin Silke Müller, die bis vor kurzem noch selbst Schulleiterin war. Schon in ihrem Lehramtsstudium war sie frustriert, wie wenig der Umgang mit Kindern gelehrt wurde. Ihre Forderung: Lehrpläne entrümpeln und in der Schule mehr Demokratie, Fairness und selbständiges kritisches Denken üben. Sie befürwortet einerseits ein altersangepasstes Social-Media-Verbot, will aber auch, dass KI im Unterricht ganz selbstverständlich genutzt wird. Außerdem wünscht sie sich, dass Lehrer wieder echte Vorbilder werden.

Photo by Hugo Fergusson on Unsplash That's what the Beatitudes are meant to do to us. Not to make us feel noble about suffering, or teach us how to spiritualize oppression. But to form solidarity as a reflex. To make us the kind of people who stand up when cruelty shows up and starts pushing everybody around. The kind of people who refuse the empire's categories of real and not-real, worthy and not-worthy, counted and disposable. It's formation for resistance. Not resistance as a moment of drama, but resistance as a way of life. The Beatitudes aren't entrance requirements for heaven. They're a description of what it looks like when people start living as if God's reign is real ... right here, right now ... even when the empire keeps insisting it's not. Subscribe to us on iTunes!

Lily Zheng is a no-nonsense DEI strategist and best-selling author of DEI Deconstructed and Fixing Fairness. They discuss the limitations of traditional Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives and introduce Lily's FAIR framework: Fairness, Access, Inclusion, and Representation. Lily challenges the industry's reliance on "one-and-done" training and advocates for a 90/10 split—prioritizing system-level changes over individual interventions. This conversation is a masterclass for leaders who want to move beyond performative buzzwords to create workplaces that truly work for everyone. Key Takeaways Evolving DEI to FAIR: Lily proposes replacing the broad, often misunderstood terms of DEI with the FAIR framework. This model focuses on whether everyone is set up for success, free from discrimination (Fairness), whether environments allow full participation (Access), if people feel respected and safe (Inclusion), and if employees truly trust their leaders (Representation). The 90/10 Systems: First Approach: Real change happens when organizations spend 90% of their effort on changing systems (incentives, hiring processes, and transparency) and only 10% on individual training. Training alone rarely solves systemic issues and can often lead to the "Cobra Effect," where poorly designed incentives actually make problems worse. Representation is About Trust, Not Tokens: True representation isn't just a "check-the-box" exercise of hiring diverse faces. It is achieved only when people from all social groups Memorable Quotes from Lily Zheng "Rebranding DEI as FAIR will not save us. But reimagining how we conceptualize and execute what we used to call DEI just might." "If you had $10,000 to invest... I'd invest maybe $100 into training. But everything else is going into creating that system, to creating the incentives, to creating the culture." "We have to stop [teaching people how to jump over gaps]... we got to point at the missing stair and go, 'Why is there no stair there? We have to put a stair there.'"

Send Us a Message (include your contact info if you'd like a reply)Fair can feel like justice. In divorce, it often becomes a trap. In this episode, we sat down with attorney and managing partner Sara Marler to explore why “I just want what's fair” derails strategy, inflates costs, and delays peace—and how a trauma-informed, whole-person approach helps clients pivot toward outcomes they can actually live with. Sara opens the curtain on what courts really weigh under standards like “just and equitable,” why judges prioritize clarity over grievance, and how stories of betrayal still matter when they are used to guide better decisions rather than to fuel a courtroom campaign.Together, we map the gap between emotional fairness and legal reality, then show how to close it with reframing, education, and the right team. You'll hear how validating a client's experience builds trust, how divorce coaches reduce legal fees by handling the emotional heavy lifting, and why amicable and collaborative professionals consistently deliver faster, more sustainable results than “shark” tactics. We also talk practical tools—mindfulness, targeted parenting classes, curated resources—that help parents stop scorekeeping and design plans centered on children's needs, not adult ego.If you're navigating separation or advising clients through it, this conversation offers a clear path from conflict to closure: focus on what you can control, choose resolution over vindication, and measure success by stability, not revenge. Divorce splits one household into two; it won't look the same, and that's okay. The goal is a livable outcome that protects your kids, your wallet, and your future self. Subscribe, share this episode and leave us a review to help others find us. To learn more about Sara visit her practice website at: https://marlerlawpartners.com/ Learn more about DCA® or any of the classes or events mentioned in this episode at the links below:Website: www.divorcecoachesacademy.comInstagram: @divorcecoachesacademyLinkedIn: divorce-coaches-academyEmail: DCA@divorcecoachesacademy.com

In this episode, we explore the fascinating world of recommender systems and algorithmic fairness with David Liu, Assistant Research Professor at Cornell University's Center for Data Science for Enterprise and Society. David shares insights from his research on how machine learning models can inadvertently create unfairness, particularly for minority and niche user groups, even without any malicious intent. We dive deep into his groundbreaking work on Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and collaborative filtering, examining why these fundamental techniques sometimes fail to serve all users equally. David introduces the concept of "power niche users" - highly active users with specialized interests who generate valuable data that can benefit the entire platform. We discuss his paper "When Collaborative Filtering Is Not Collaborative," which reveals how PCA can over-specialize on popular content while neglecting both niche items and even failing to properly recommend popular artists to new potential fans. David presents solutions through item-weighted PCA and thoughtful data upweighting strategies that can improve both fairness and performance simultaneously, challenging the common assumption that these goals must be in tension. The conversation spans from theoretical insights to practical applications at companies like Meta, offering a comprehensive look at the future of personalized recommendations.
