Judge David Fleischer has become something of an internet sensation, not for theatrics or harsh sentences, but for his calm, compassionate, and fair approach to justice.In this special episode of One Minute Remaining, I sit down with Judge Fleischer to discuss what it's really like behind the bench, how judges across America are often painted with a broad and unfair brush, and why the worst misconduct cases often become the only ones we hear about.

Our guest in this episode is Jon Bassford, a curiosity-driven leader, consultant, and author who helps organizations unlock innovation by asking better questions. Jon's journey is a story of challenging the status quo, rediscovering the power of curiosity, and empowering others to do the same. In his conversation with Jürgen, Jon shares practical tools, candid stories, and a contagious enthusiasm for making curiosity a daily habit.Key points discussed include:* Curiosity is a superpower that drives innovation, growth, and operational excellence in both individuals and organizations.* Building a culture of psychological safety and open questioning empowers teams to experiment, learn, and contribute their best ideas.* Practical tools—like improv exercises and breaking daily routines—can help anyone reignite their curiosity and creative thinking.Listen to the podcast to find out more.Show Notes from this episode with Jon Bassford, Lateral SolutionsUnleashing Your Inner Innovator: How Curiosity Can Transform Your LeadershipIn a recent episode of the InnovaBuzz podcast, host Jürgen engaged in a thought-provoking conversation with Jon Bassford, the founder and CEO of Lateral Solutions, and the author of "The Curious Leader." Jon specializes in helping organizations innovate, change, and grow by adopting a curiosity-driven leadership. The discussion revealed how cultivating curiosity can unlock transformative potential in both personal and professional spheres.The Power of Curiosity: Jon's JourneyJon's journey is a testament to the power of innate curiosity. He realized that his life has always been driven by a desire to challenge the status quo and improve existing systems. This internal drive has shaped his career, leading him to assist organizations in achieving operational excellence and driving intended results efficiently and effectively. It's not merely about making minor adjustments; it's about fundamentally questioning the rationale behind established practices.Reclaiming Your Inner Child: Rediscovering CuriosityJürgen and Jon explored how the innate curiosity of childhood often diminishes as individuals mature. Jon noted that by the age of 35, a significant portion of our habits and thoughts are programmed. However, he emphasized that it's never too late to reignite that inner child. He suggests implementing mechanisms within our lives and teams to consistently question the validity of our actions and explore potential improvements. It involves consciously challenging ingrained habits and embracing a mindset of continuous inquiry.The Art of Asking Questions: Solving Problems with CuriosityJon shared a key insight: effective problem-solving hinges not on possessing all the answers, but on posing the right questions. He referenced an exercise from his "Curious Leader" workshop, where teams tackle challenges solely through inquiry. The transformative moment occurs when a well-formulated question sparks a breakthrough. This underscores the notion that expertise isn't a prerequisite for progress; rather, it's the willingness to explore through questioning.Building a Curious Culture: Fostering Innovation in Your OrganizationThe conversation shifted to creating environments where questions are encouraged and experimentation is embraced. Jon stressed the importance of psychological safety, which begins with leaders understanding their team members on a personal level. Instead of dictating opinions, leaders should prioritize valuing the perspectives of their team. This fosters a culture of open communication and collaborative innovation.The Three Shifts: Mindset, Operations, and CultureJon outlined three essential shifts for leaders aiming to cultivate curiosity: mindset, operational excellence, and culture. The initial step involves transitioning from a fixed mindset to a growth-oriented one, encouraging individuals to envision possibilities beyond current limitations. Next, it entails regularly questioning existing processes and seeking opportunities for improvement. Ultimately, it's about fostering an environment where every member is empowered to drive innovation and positive change.Curiosity as Kryptonite: When Curiosity Goes WrongEven the most potent strengths have their limitations. Jon recounted an instance where his eagerness to instigate change met with resistance. This serves as a reminder that curiosity, like any virtue, requires judicious management. Self-awareness is paramount. Individuals must reflect on their actions and assess their contribution to the overall dynamic. Sometimes, the most insightful question is, "How am I impeding progress?"Practical Tools for Cultivating CuriosityJon offered practical tools for nurturing curiosity in everyday life. These included improv exercises, which encourage building upon ideas without dismissing them, and the 80/20 rule, where companies like Google and 3M allow employees to dedicate a portion of their time to passion projects. Even simple actions, such as brushing teeth with the non-dominant hand, can stimulate the brain and foster creativity. The key is to disrupt routines and explore new avenues of thought.ConclusionThe discussion between Jürgen and Jon illuminated the transformative potential of curiosity. By embracing childlike wonder, posing insightful questions, and nurturing a culture of inquiry, individuals and organizations can unlock innovation and drive meaningful progress. As Jon aptly demonstrated, curiosity isn't just a trait; it's a superpower waiting to be unleashed.The Buzz - Our Innovation RoundHere are Jon's answers to the questions of our innovation round. Listen to the conversation to get the full scoop.* No. 1 thing to be more innovative – Ask good questions and challenge the status quo.* Best thing for new ideas – Constantly look at what you're doing, how you're doing it, and why you're doing it a certain way.* Favourite resource – Chat GPT.* Keep project/client on track – Regular communication and KPIs.* Differentiate – Find out what your secret sauce is, what your skills are, what you bring to the table that's just different, unique, and find ways to help improve other people through that.ActionFind ways to be curious.

What we're talking about: In this episode, I continue the mini-series on feeling confident about VCE and choosing tertiary courses. Instead of jumping straight to career titles, I encourage you to reflect on your favourite subjects and, more importantly, what you enjoy about them. This approach can provide valuable insights into courses and careers that will allow you to do more of what you actually like. 0:45 – Recap of Episode 100 and the importance of understanding VCE In the last episode I shared some episodes where I explain key aspects of VCE so that you can really understand the system you're working in. If you're stressed at all about VCE, I encourage you to go back and listen to that episode first. 2:27 – The significance of identifying your favourite subject I discuss why pinpointing your favourite subject—and what you like about it—can guide your decisions about future studies and careers. 6:00 – My personal experience with subject preferences and career choices I share my journey of loving maths but not feeling great about the typical career paths everyone was suggesting, like engineering or accounting. 9:50 – The importance of understanding what you enjoy in a subject I delve into how recognising the specific topics or skills within a subject you enjoy can open up a broader range of course and career options that will actually suit you better. I encourage you to take time to reflect on your favourite subjects and what you really like about them so that you can find courses and careers that will allow you to do more of what you like.

It's Mothers Day… and while they may not admit it, research shows that Mums DO have favourite children – usually, not intentionally. Mothers also identify the children they have the most conflict with and with whom they are the most disappointed. However, it turns out that adult children are very bad at determining who the favorite child is, and are correct less than half the time. In this episode of Weekend one on one, we hear from Professor Jill Suitor, who's been carrying out the research – she's professor of sociology and an affiliate of the Center on Aging in the Life Course at Purdue University in Indiana in the United States.
Our guest in this episode is James Hipkin, a vivacious marketing strategist and digital agency leader who's spent decades helping businesses cut through the marketing noise with authentic, customer-centered strategies. James delights in challenging the status quo, advocating for marketing that genuinely adds value and using AI as a creative ally (not a replacement!) to keep the human touch alive. In his upbeat conversation with host Jürgen Strauss, James ditches “icky marketing” in favor of meaningful customer pathways and demonstrates how curiosity, clarity, and compassion drive long-term business success.Key points discussed include:* Transforming “Call to Action” into Customer Pathways: James encourages a mindset shift, inviting customers along value-filled journeys instead of simply shouting for attention.* Blending Human Creativity with AI for Better Results: He joyfully shares how AI can spark ideas, provide audience insights, and enhance marketing—while always keeping people at the heart.* Building Relationships for Sustainable Growth: James underscores that true marketing success is about lasting relationships, focusing on customer value beyond the first sale.This episode is packed with refreshing ideas and practical inspiration for marketers ready to innovate with empathy, measurement, and a dash of fun!Listen to the podcast to find out more.Show Notes from this episode with James HipkinChampioning Value-Based Marketing Over "Icky" TacticsStep into the world of marketing that puts people first with James Hipkin, a marketing strategist and digital agency leader who joined me, Jürgen Strauss, on the InnovaBuzz podcast for a vibrant discussion. James has spent decades rallying against what he calls "icky marketing"—those manipulative, hard-sell tactics that leave everyone feeling a little grimy. Instead, he champions a marketing ethos rooted in creating real value for customers and businesses alike. His approach is all about forging genuine connections and focusing on knowledge-sharing, where education and trust replace the noise of pushy promotions.James's mission is to transform marketing, one business owner at a time. He believes great marketing brings value not only to the business but, most importantly, to the customer. By focusing on educating the ideal audience and nurturing relationships, James shows how we can move away from the transactional and toward the transformational.The Mindset Shift: From Calls to Action to Customer PathwaysA standout moment in our conversation was James' bold proposal: stop shouting "Call to Action" and start building "Pathways." The typical call to action often feels like a marketer barking orders, rather than an invitation. James encourages us to create "people like you pathways"—roads marked with relevant information, gentle invitations, and meaningful touchpoints.For example, James described how he used AI to brainstorm alternatives to the tired “related products” label in e-commerce. He then checked these options with his team and polled the client's audience, ensuring the final choice resonated. This approach transforms the customer experience from a pushy sales pitch to a helpful, human-guided journey.Prioritizing the Second Sale and True Customer RelationshipsJames reminds us that the most important sale is not the first—it's the second. He champions a philosophy where marketing is seen as the beginning of a relationship, not the end. Businesses that focus on ensuring customers return are the ones who thrive; after all, if you can create a repeat buyer, chances are they'll keep coming back for more.We shared stories about brands that either courted us for one quick transaction or truly invested in our long-term success. When we genuinely care about ongoing customer success, we're building trust, nurturing advocates, and creating fertile ground for innovation. The game isn't about the big win; it's about showing up, again and again, for your customers.Bringing Humanity Into AI-Driven MarketingWith the AI wave sweeping through marketing, James stands out with his level-headed, human-first approach. Rather than surrendering creativity or empathy to technology, he leverages AI as a brainstorming partner—a tool for generating ideas and stimulating discussion. For instance, he uses AI to analyze customer interviews and online forums, but always brings the final decision back to the team for a human touch.This collaborative approach sparks creativity and widens perspective. AI provides the stimulus, but people make the final call, ensuring that empathy and authenticity remain at the heart of every campaign.Grounding Innovation in Data and MeasurementJames brings with him the rigor of the direct marketing world—a place where every strategy lives or dies by data. He believes great marketing is a three-legged stool: strategy (who and why), planning (how and when), and, most critically, measurement. Without that third leg, businesses wobble, never quite sure what's working or why.He shares anecdotes of clients spread thin across social channels, uncertain which efforts yielded real results, until simple tracking and data analysis revealed the highest-impact activities. By focusing on meaningful data, not vanity metrics, James helps his clients double down on what truly works and prune the rest.Unlocking Customer Insights Through AI-Augmented InterviewsJames is passionate about democratizing the powerful customer research methods once reserved for big brands. His solution? Use guided customer interviews, audio transcriptions, and AI trained with deep marketing psychology to create rich, nuanced customer avatars and journey maps—without breaking the bank. This process gives even the smallest business a window into customer motivations, desires, and language, ensuring that every marketing message hits home.He's careful, too, to blend classic rigor with innovative shortcuts. Analyzing subreddit discussions or online forums through AI, using a well-crafted questionnaire, may not match a $50,000 research project—but it's miles ahead of guesswork. Objective, data-backed insights are now within reach for everyone.Staying True to Strategy in a Shiny Object WorldWith all the new tools and trends vying for our attention, it's easy to get distracted. James urges business owners to resist the lure of the next shiny object and instead double down on what's working. Start with a few core tactics, get really good at them, and then iterate for excellence. His advice is to measure, learn, and improve—rather than constantly chasing novelty.James also emphasizes the importance of building a strong team, welcoming their input, and sometimes just saying "no"—to clients, trends, or ideas that don't serve the strategy. The secret to longevity and sustainable growth isn't in doing more things, but in doing the right things really well.The Buzz - Our Innovation RoundHere are James's answers to the questions of our innovation round. Listen to the conversation to get the full scoop.* No. 1 thing to be more innovative: Get out of your own head.* Best thing for new ideas: Shift your perspective from inside out to outside in by observing what's really happening with your customers.* Favourite resource: Rely on the people on your team for input, ideas, and collaboration.* Keep project/client on track: Be willing to say no to clients and provide honest feedback, building relationships based on trust.* Differentiate: Clearly define and communicate your unique selling proposition by focusing on what's truly unique and motivating about your business.ActionJames encourages you to stop trying to "boil the ocean." Instead, choose a few things to focus on, learn to do them well, and then work on doing them even better. Let your customers guide you on what's working and do more of that, rather than chasing every new shiny trend.Reach OutIf you'd like to explore these ideas further or share your own marketing challenges, James welcomes a conversation.

This adds a layer of personality and passion to his professional persona.* The "Techie" with a Human Touch: James blends AI with real human interaction (customer interviews). In a world where AI is often seen as cold and impersonal, he's using it to amplify human voices and insights.* The "Storyteller" in a Marketing World: James uses stories and analogies to explain complex concepts, showing he's not just a marketing expert, but also a skilled communicator who can connect with people on a human level.* Bachelor of Music in composition and theory: James shared how a professor's advice—think of the most ridiculous solution, then work backwards—helped him break free from linear thinking, a creative exercise he's carried into his marketing career.Ready to humanize your marketing?

Our guest in this episode is Debra Eckerling, a joyful goal strategist, award-winning author, and mastermind behind the DEB Method for simplified goal setting. Deb's mission is to make goal pursuit contagious and fun, inspiring everyone to move toward what truly lights them up by connecting their goals to genuine passion. In her lively chat with host Jürgen Strauss, Deb shares her contagious enthusiasm for creating an authentic roadmap to success—one that begins with self-awareness, celebrates every win, and leans into the magic of community.Key points discussed include:* Building Goals on Authentic Passion: Deb emphasizes that meaningful goals must stem from self-discovery, not “shoulds”—what excites you is what sustains you!* Celebrating Wins to Fuel Motivation: She encourages daily recognition of even small achievements, using a “win list” to keep momentum sparkly and strong.* Harnessing Community & Boundaries: Deb champions networking as a source of mutual delight and support, while also gracefully setting boundaries to stay mission-aligned.This episode is a delightful boost for anyone craving more joy, clarity, and connection on their goal-getting journey!Listen to the podcast to find out more.Show Notes From This Episode with Debra Eckerling, The DEB MethodIgniting Joyful Goal Setting: The Deb Eckerling ApproachToday, I'm delighted to dive into a radiant conversation with Debra Eckerling, goal strategist, workshop leader, and author on a mission to make goal setting as joyful and contagious as laughter. From the get-go, Deb's energy simply bubbles over, transforming what many might consider a dry subject into a dynamic, celebratory experience. It's this passion that underpins her signature DEB Method—a method rooted in simplicity, authenticity, and genuine joy.Deb believes that setting and getting goals shouldn't feel like another chore on the to-do list. Instead, it ought to invigorate us, spark creativity, and become a party everyone wants to attend. By infusing goal setting with enthusiasm and a sense of celebration, Deb empowers others to find delight and meaning in each step toward their dreams.The Foundation of Authentic Goals: Knowing What You WantOne of Deb's core beliefs is that successful goal setting starts with true self-awareness. She observes that all too often, people pursue goals that aren't genuinely theirs—falling into the “shoulds” handed down by others or dictated by circumstance. As she wisely puts it: “You can't get what you want unless you know what that is.” This insight, though deceptively simple, lies at the heart of her philosophy.Deb shares how, both in her own journey and in her coaching and workshops, she's seen people transform simply by reconnecting with what brings them joy. She encourages us to pause, reflect, and ask ourselves not what others expect us to do, but what genuinely lights us up from within. This intentional approach lays the groundwork for goals that are rooted in authenticity—goals that inspire commitment and create lasting fulfillment.Transforming Obligations into OpportunitiesWhat about those times when you're stuck in a job or obligation that isn't your passion? Deb offers a gentle, practical perspective. Not everyone can immediately leap away from the day-to-day things that don't light them up, and she's quick to acknowledge the realities—bills, families, and the necessities of life. But even within these constraints, there's space for joy.Deb proposes finding “a hit of joy” on the side, whether that's a creative project, a side hustle, or simply an activity that brings happiness. By letting these joyful pursuits fuel your spirit, you bring lightness into all areas of your life. Sometimes, these passion projects might even become a pathway to something bigger, but at the very least, they help make the less exciting responsibilities a bit more palatable.Building Your North Star: The DEB Method UnpackedAt the center of Deb's approach is her namesake DEB Method—Determine your mission, Explore your options, Brainstorm your path. The process begins with self-exploration, inviting you to visualize the life you want and craft both current and future bios, shaping your direction with clarity and intention. As Deb illustrates, this isn't just about dreamy thinking—it's about building a foundation, a “North Star,” that keeps your actions anchored and purposeful.The next steps encourage curiosity and creativity: exploring your options and then brainstorming the actionable steps to get there. By breaking down even big, ambitious goals into tangible, joyful pieces, Deb removes the intimidation and opens the door to real progress. It's a framework that honors both vision and practicality, always guided by what lights you up.Boundaries and Saying Yes to YourselfOf course, following your true path also means learning to say “no”—sometimes a gentle “not now”—to opportunities that don't align with your goals or mission. Deb's approach to boundaries is compassionate and generous: every “no” to something that isn't a fit is a “yes” to yourself and an invitation for someone else to shine in that space.She offers practical scripts and encouragement to help you navigate these choices without guilt or fear of missing out. By trusting your North Star, you make space for the opportunities that truly resonate, while giving others the gift of stepping into their own “yes.” It's about honoring yourself and your journey—without closing doors or burning bridges.Celebrating Wins and Fueling MotivationDeb is a champion of celebration, weaving it into every step of the goal-getting journey. She reminds us that too often, we get caught up in the slog of progress, forgetting to honor the moments of achievement along the way. Whether it's a tiny step forward or a major milestone, celebrating wins infuses you with the motivation to keep going.Her suggestion to keep a daily “win list” is deceptively powerful. Writing down one to three things you accomplished each day—even if it's just “I made it through”—builds an archive of positivity and progress. When doubt or fatigue creeps in, that list becomes a wellspring of encouragement, a reminder that you are, indeed, moving forward.From Passion to Action: Embracing Community and Moving ForwardFinally, no one achieves their dreams in isolation. Deb celebrates the magic of community—whether it's through goal groups, masterminds, or informal support networks. Sharing your wins, articulating your needs, and enthusiastically supporting others build an environment where success is magnetic and contagious.In Deb's world, action is iterative, fueled by passion and uplifted by others. She urges us to gift ourselves the time to discover what makes us unique, turn that spark into practical steps, and seek out the company of those who will cheer us on. After all, we are all part of a bigger ecosystem of possibility—and when we help one another rise, everyone wins.Conclusion: Your Invitation to Celebrate and ActDebra Eckerling's approach to goal setting is a vibrant invitation: bring more joy, authenticity, and connection into your journey. Start your own win list today. Write down those small victories. Reflect on what truly lights you up. And remember, whether you're taking your very first step or well on your way, celebrating your wins and building supportive connections will propel you forward. Let's make goal setting a party we all want to attend—one filled with laughter, passion, and purpose. Your goals are yours to discover and achieve. Keep moving, keep celebrating, and let your light shine!The Buzz - Our Innovation RoundHere are Deb's answers to the questions of our innovation round. Listen to the conversation to get the full scoop.* No. 1 thing to be more innovative – Listen to your inner voice because you already know the answers—you just need to ask yourself the right questions.* Best thing for new ideas – Engage in activities like cooking or having conversations, as they allow your mind to wander and help generate creative ideas.* Favourite resource – Tap into your community and network, asking questions and allowing others the opportunity to help you as a shared gift.* Keep project/client on track – Set realistic deadlines while respecting your own calendar, making appointments with yourself and treating them as commitments just like those with others.* Differentiate – Reflect through journaling or ask others what makes you unique, then fully own and enthusiastically lean into that quality.ActionDeb encourages you to start a daily win list. Each day, take a minute to write down one, two, or three things you accomplished or that went well—then refer back to your list whenever you need motivation or a reminder of your progress.Reach OutYou can reach out and thank Deb by connecting with her on social media at @thedebmethod everywhere, including YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn.
