To access the episode transcript, please search for the episode title at www.TheEmpathyEdge.comKey Takeaways:Mindfulness is "lucid awareness from paying attention on purpose in the present moment"A leader's emotional state directly impacts team performance through stress contagionWorking beyond 50 hours shows diminishing returns; 70-hour weeks produce no more than 55-hour weeksSimple grounding technique: Feel your feet on the floor during meetings to interrupt anxiety cyclesJust 10 minutes of daily mindfulness practice increases self-awareness by 35% in 6-8 weeksAuthentic leadership starts with clarity on personal values aligned with organizational valuesTwo types of self-compassion: tender (being kind) and fierce (setting healthy boundaries) "An emotion on its own lasts like 30 seconds. But if you're feeding it with thoughts, it goes on and on—it gets worse and worse. If you want to do anger management, you've got to stop that cycle, because you're actually creating your own anger." — Timothy SwordsAbout Timothy Swords: Timothy Swords blends corporate acumen with mindfulness training to guide senior leaders in integrating mindfulness into decision-making and leadership effectiveness. His experience includes CFO and strategic transformation roles at Fidelity Investments, MUFG Union Bank, and PwC. Timothy holds an MBA from Harvard University and is a certified mindfulness instructor with over 2,000 hours of practice, including training with renowned teachers Jack Kornfield, Jon Kabat-Zinn, and Sharon Salzberg.About SparkEffect: SparkEffect partners with organizations to unlock the full potential of their greatest asset: their people.

From losing $2M in four days as a college student to building multi-9-figure businesses, Jeremy shares powerful lessons on risk, leadership, and why real success comes from knowing who you are—not just what you've built.What you'll learn on this episodehe power of pattern recognition over pure hustle when spotting untapped marketsWhy real investors don't care about competition—they obsess over the customer experienceThe biggest mistake Jeremy ever made (hint: he said no to $600M) and how it led to his next big winWhy Jeremy only invests in 1 out of every 100 pitches—and what he looks for in a founderThe mindset shift every entrepreneur must make after hitting rock bottomThe spiritual crisis of success—and how to reconnect with purpose when the scoreboard is no longer enoughWhat Jeremy would tell his 25-year-old self: “Just take one more step”At the heart of this conversation is a simple truth: real business success comes from clearly communicating value and solving real problems.

Dan Rochon sits down with serial entrepreneur and venture capitalist Jeremy Delk to reveal how to identify business opportunities hiding in plain sight. From losing $2 million in four days to building multi-exit companies, Jeremy shares raw lessons about pattern recognition, authenticity, and why most people never make their ideas real. This episode is your backstage pass to understanding how investors really think and how you can get in the room.What you'll learn on this episodeUntapped markets aren't always new sometimes they're old industries approached differently.Most people fail not because of bad ideas, but because of a lack of belief and clarity.Business success starts with solving people's problems, not chasing trends.Pattern recognition is learned from losses, not textbooks.Transparency in leadership attracts capital and people masking your weaknesses repels both.Markets reward disruption especially when others say “that's how it's always been done.”Real growth starts when you stop pretending to be perfect and start owning your gaps.At the heart of this conversation is a simple truth: real business success comes from clearly communicating value and solving real problems. If you're working to sharpen that clarity in your own business, Dan's upcoming book Teach to Sell offers a practical framework to help you attract clients and opportunities by leading with what you know.

Jeff got his Bachelor's Degree in Economics at Stanford and a Masters from Harvard. We're not really talking about Fidelity; we're going bigger picture and getting Jeff's personal take on wealth building and tech's role in that. Topics covered include: How customers can be segmented to track behaviors, demographics, and goals. Are behaviors driving technology or are tech innovations changing what consumers want? How are finserv businesses doing at keeping up with consumer demands and innovating around those? What are the big trends in financial consumer behavior? And likewise, what are the coming trends in fintech? When it comes to the third-party apps and players, what's going to separate the winners from the losers? Why should banks and financial institutions fully embrace APIs, data sharing, and open banking? What to look forward to and what to be cautious about as we move through 2025.   Helpful Links: Fidelity Center for Applied Technology Jeff Cain on LI

In today's episode, Alex Fisher, CEO and CCO of Netcapital Securities, shared how her team empowers businesses by leveraging a comprehensive suite of tools including Reg A, Reg D, and Reg CF offerings. Her insights highlight the importance of tailoring fundraising strategies to meet the unique needs of each company, ensuring both flexibility and success.Alex explained, “When people hear crowdfunding, they kind of lump all of the different offering types and ways to raise capital together.” Netcapital's approach, however, recognizes the nuances of these methods. For instance, Reg CF allows companies to raise up to $5 million from the general public, while Reg D removes the cap but limits investments to accredited investors. Combining these strategies can create opportunities for businesses to achieve their goals more effectively.For Alex, the innovation lies in the ability to use these regulations strategically. She noted, “Companies who look to utilize both offering types at the same time are being very strategic… using the Reg CF bucket to open the investment opportunity to their broad network,” including customers and social media followers. Meanwhile, Reg D can attract larger investments from accredited investors such as venture capitalists.One of the most exciting developments Alex discussed is the potential for liquidity in crowdfunding. While much of the focus has been on raising capital, Netcapital is exploring ways to offer investors opportunities for future liquidity. This forward-thinking approach benefits both issuers and investors, enhancing the overall value of crowdfunding.Netcapital's role as both a broker-dealer and a funding portal sets it apart from other platforms. “Under Reg CF, companies are limited to listing on one portal at a time,” Alex explained. “That restriction doesn't exist in Regulation A or Regulation D and doesn't apply to broker-dealers.” This flexibility allows Netcapital to collaborate with other platforms, creating a synergistic ecosystem that benefits companies and investors alike.By combining innovative strategies with a deep understanding of regulatory frameworks, Alex and her team at Netcapital are helping businesses raise capital smarter, faster, and more effectively.If you're considering crowdfunding for your business, Alex's expertise offers a roadmap for success. As she put it, “It's very facts and circumstances based… You want to understand the stage of the company, the industry, and the networks they're a part of.”tl;dr:Alex Fisher explains how Netcapital combines Reg CF, Reg A, and Reg D to fundraise strategically.She highlights the untapped potential for liquidity in crowdfunding, benefiting both issuers and investors.Netcapital's broker-dealer status allows for unique flexibility and collaboration across fundraising platforms.Alex's intellectual curiosity drives her personal growth and her ability to connect with clients.She shares actionable tips for fostering intellectual curiosity to fuel professional and personal success.How to Develop Intellectual Curiosity As a SuperpowerAlex Fisher's superpower is her intellectual curiosity, a trait she describes as “thinking deeply and critically about a number of things.” This mindset drives her to question established norms, explore new ideas, and continuously improve both personally and professionally. Alex explained, “It's about not just accepting things for how they are and constantly thinking about how to do things better.” Her curiosity fuels her ability to connect with clients on a deeper level, understanding not just their business goals but also their personal motivations.Illustrative Story:Alex shared how rekindling her love of reading helped her rediscover her intellectual curiosity. After years of focusing solely on textbooks, regulations, and professional development, she began reading for personal interest in 2022. Since then, she has read over 70 books, which has broadened her perspective and improved her ability to think creatively. This shift has positively impacted her professional life by enabling her to approach challenges with fresh ideas and a more holistic understanding.Tips for Developing Intellectual Curiosity:Ask “Why” and “How” Questions: Dive deeper into processes, systems, and decisions to understand their purpose and function.Read Widely: Explore books and resources outside your professional field to gain new perspectives.Embrace Continuous Improvement: Focus on finding better ways to do things, even if the current method works.Connect Personally: Take time to understand the motivations and passions of the people you work with.Be Open to Exploration: Allow yourself to engage in activities that don't have an immediate or tangible impact.By following Alex Fisher's example and advice, you can make intellectual curiosity a skill. With practice and effort, you could make it a superpower that enables you to do more good in the world.Remember, however, that research into success suggests that building on your own superpowers is more important than creating new ones or overcoming weaknesses.

Well, I'm excited! I have a repeat guest on the podcast, Tamsen Webster. Tamsen was here the last time she wrote her first book, Find Your Red Thread, and today she is here to talk about her newest book, Say What they Can't Unhear: The 9 Principles of Lasting Change.You know when everything is smooth sailing and you are enjoying an easy, breezy ride for a while? I know those times, and 2025 is not one of them for me. I am in a period of significant change professionally, so I was excited to talk with Tamsen about her book.The idea of saying what people cannot unhear resonates with me because I want to get my point across strong enough that it gets buy-in and is a good use of my time. As a resident intranpreneur in corporate and entrepreneur outside of corporate, idea buy-in and making friends with change management is crucial.During my conversation with Tamsen, we chatted about:What is the ding for Tamsen?The importance of giving our audience a reason to believe.Why is story the foundation for understanding?Tamsen gives an overview of what a persuasion proverb is and how to use them.What if someone cannot hear our story or refuses to listen? Then what?Her doctoral studies at NYU. She almost gave me the academic bug!Here is more about Tamsen:Part message designer, part English-to-English translator, and now part doctoral student, Tamsen Webster helps leaders craft their case for large-scale change. A sought-after speaker and consultant, she's spent more than 25 years developing the field and practice of persuasive message design, with a particular focus on the principles and processes that build buy-in that lasts.In addition to her work in and for major organizations such as Harvard Medical School, Fidelity Investments, and Klaviyo, she built and delivers the message design curriculum for Elemental Impact, a leading investor in impact startups. She's a judge and mentor for the Harvard Innovation Labs and a professional advisor at the Martin Trust Center for MIT Entrepreneurship. She's also spent over 10 years as the Idea Strategist for one of only nine legacy-level TEDx events and was named to the Thinkers50 Radar in 2022. She's the author of two best-selling books, Find Your Red Thread: Make Your Big Ideas Irresistible, and Say What They Can't Unhear: The 9 Principles of Lasting Change which was named one of the top 10 management books of the year by Canada's Globe and Mail newspaper.Tamsen was a reluctant marathoner… twice; is a champion ballroom dancer (in her mind); and learned everything she knows about messages, people, and change as a Weight Watchers leader. True story.She lives in Boston with her husband, two sons, and her two brindle Greyhounds, Hazel and Walnut.If Brave Women at Work has made an impact on you, please share it with a friend or colleague.

Investisseur et essayiste, David Baverez est un bon décrypteur des bouleversements économiques et sociétaux à l'œuvre en Chine, où il est expatrié depuis une quinzaine d'années. Diplômé d'HEC, il a fait ses armes dans la finance d'investissement au sein, notamment, de Fidelity Investments. Mais au début des années 2010, il opère un virage à 180° : convaincu que l'avenir se joue en Asie et plus particulièrement en Chine, il vend tous ses actifs en Europe et s'installe à Hong Kong, puis sur le continent chinois. Cette décision lui permet d'observer in situ l'essor d'un pays en pleine transformation, porté par l'urbanisation accélérée, l'innovation technologique et l'émergence d'une classe moyenne avide de consommation. Sa spécialité : déconstruire les idées reçues véhiculées en Europe sur cette puissance en gestation. Il nous éclaire ainsi sur les succès et les limites du modèle chinois : une croissance dopée par le numérique, un État omniprésent, un capitalisme piloté par le Parti et une société en quête de modernité sous contrôle. Il est l'auteur de plusieurs ouvrages dont. Génération Tonique (2015), qui met en avant la vitalité entrepreneuriale chinoise, Chine-Europe : le grand tournant (2021), et Bienvenue en Economie de Guerre (2024). Avec David Baverez, nous parlons de la guerre technologique sans pitié entre les Etats-Unis et la Chine, de la complexité de la relation entre les deux pays. Et de la place très inconfortable de l'Europe entre ces mastodontes. Hébergé par Acast. Visitez acast.com/privacy pour plus d'informations.

Tamsen Webster is the Founder and Chief Learning Officer at Message Design Institute, where she helps leaders craft compelling messages to foster large-scale change. With over 25 years of experience in persuasive message design, she is a renowned message strategist and keynote speaker. Tamsen is the author of two best-selling books: Find Your Red Thread and Say What They Can't Unhear. She has collaborated with major organizations, such as Harvard Medical School, Fidelity Investments, and Klaviyo, and serves as an Idea Strategist at TEDxNewEngland.  In this episode…  When strategic planning fails, it's often because organizations either overlook their core values or struggle to communicate their vision effectively. Many businesses approach strategy with a broad brainstorming phase, leading to unrealistic or misaligned initiatives. How can leaders align decisions with their organization's internal philosophy to catalyze intentional change?  According to message strategist Tamsen Webster, every decision follows an internal logic based on people's existing beliefs. To foster lasting change, leaders must communicate in a way that aligns with these existing perspectives. Tamsen explains how identity shapes decision-making and why brand messaging should reflect true values rather than aspirational statements. By recognizing patterns in decision-making and communicating strategically, businesses can create messages that resonate deeply with employees and customers. In this week's episode of the Up Arrow Podcast, William Harris hosts Tamsen Webster, the Founder and Chief Learning Officer at Message Design Institute, to explore the nine principles of lasting change and how to gain buy-in for organizational transformation. Tamsen shares examples of strategic messaging in renowned brands, how to balance two opposing beliefs, and how storytelling and intuitive messaging influence effective communication.

Elon Musk zoekt investeringen in zijn platform X tegen een waardering van 44 miljard dollar, hetzelfde bedrag dat hij betaalde om Twitter in 2022 van de beurs te halen. Joe van Burik vertelt erover in deze Tech Update. X kan nieuwe investeringen gebruiken, meent Musk - op basis van gesprekken die daarover gevoerd worden, zo melden bronnen aan Bloomberg. Het is de eerste keer dat daarover gesproken wordt sinds Musk die miljarden bij onder meer banken ophaalde om Twitter van de beurs te halen. De vraag is of X uberhaupt nog wel 44 miljard dollar waard zou zijn: Fidelity Investments, één van de medebetalers in 2022, schreef onlangs zo'n 70 procent van de waarde in hun aandeel af.

When we have information to give, the communication doesn't start and end with just one email, announcement, or conversation. Effective communication is more than just the info you deliver, or the words you say. It requires empathy. This is a note for anyone needing to communicate strategic shifts, return-to-work policies, performance expectations, or even layoffs.Tamsen Webster and I discuss why her work is driven by her desire to only do things once! How the risk of change belongs with the person or organization asking for it, how to understand the why behind how people approach change, and the first step in building buy-in that most people skip. She shares why leveraging pain is almost always guaranteed to fail long-term and how it's almost always possible to find common ground (and if it's not, to have a way to identify those differences clearly and without judgment). To access the episode transcript, please search for the episode title at www.TheEmpathyEdge.comKey Takeaways:Every decision has a story. Every action or change we decide on has won the argument even if it is only internal.It is important to understand the story, the heart of the message, surrounding the conversations about change.Pain is the ally of quick action, but a brain in pain is not a rational brain. Once rationality is resumed, those decisions are often reconsidered.If people don't understand what you're saying it doesn't matter how powerful or important what you are saying is. "Anchor the outcome of the change in something that you fully acknowledge and you share with the person that you're talking to." — Tamsen Webster Episode References:Tamsen Website: Why Great Stories Are Empathy MachinesDia Bondi: How to Ask Like An AuctioneerSarah R.

Bitcoin's plunge to $93,224 triggered a massive $483M liquidation cascade, with Ethereum taking the biggest hit at $86M. But smart money isn't running scared - major buyers are stepping in with bids at $92-93K levels, while Fidelity Investments signals bullish sentiment heading into 2025's potential inflation wave. Meanwhile, crypto powerhouse A16z is betting big on the future, launching a Spring 2025 accelerator program offering minimum $500K investments to promising startups. Despite short-term bearish signals from notable traders Bluntz and Rekt, who eye a possible dip to $90K, Real Vision's Jamie Coutts remains optimistic about Bitcoin's six-month trajectory, citing upcoming Fed rate cuts and increasing interest from high-net-worth investors.

Welcome to episode #964 of Six Pixels of Separation - The ThinkersOne Podcast. Tamsen Webster is an expert of messaging and an architect of transformative communication. Over her 25-year career, Tamsen has helped leaders, from Harvard Medical School to Fidelity Investments, craft messages that don't just resonate - they stick, long after the words are spoken. Her latest book, Say What They Can't Unhear - The 9 Principles of Lasting Change (she is also the author of Find Your Red Thread), is a guide to creating messages so compelling, they can't be ignored. In our conversation, we explored her fresh take on persuasion, focusing on building understanding before asking for agreement - a concept so simple yet often overlooked. Tamsen revealed why storytelling still works (hint: our brains are wired for it) but also why it sometimes fails, especially when the story doesn't align with the audience's core beliefs. Her approach, rooted in science and steeped in empathy, pushes us to find common ground - not by oversimplifying the message, but by connecting with deeply held truths. Our dialogue covered everything from the evolution of storytelling to the resurgence of Socratic discourse in modern conversations, and even how polarization impacts how we communicate. But what struck me most was her ability to balance the rational with the emotional, showing that truly effective messaging requires both. Tamsen's insights go beyond the typical “problem-solution” framework, offering a model that encourages dialogue, understanding, and long-term engagement. If you've ever struggled to present a big idea or faced resistance when trying to spark change, this episode is a masterclass in how to say what others can't unhear. Enjoy the conversation...

In this episode of the InsuranceAUM.com Podcast, host Stewart Foley sits down with Bill McClay, CFA, portfolio manager at Fidelity Investments, to explore the evolving landscape of high-yield real estate lending. With banks pulling back and a significant volume of commercial real estate debt maturing over the next three years, Bill shares how private lenders are stepping up to fill the gap. He provides an in-depth look at Fidelity's real estate platform, their approach to navigating current market challenges, and the opportunities for investors in middle-market lending.   From bridge loans to construction financing and gap funding, Bill explains how Fidelity has positioned itself to address a supply-demand imbalance in commercial real estate debt. This episode offers valuable insights into the dynamics of property types, regional bank exposure, and the role of private capital in shaping the future of high-yield real estate lending.

Karen Read, charged twice in the death of Boston Police Officer John O'Keefe, has opened up about her ongoing legal battle, strained personal life, and unyielding quest for justice in an interview with *Vanity Fair*. Speaking to reporter Julie Miller, who was granted unrestricted access, Read shared insights into her life since O'Keefe's death and the impact of her highly publicized case. In what Vanity Fair described as a series of candid, in-home interviews, Read, 44, invited Miller to her former Mansfield residence in August. Read opened up about her relationship with O'Keefe, her pending retrial, and the toll her legal battles have taken. Miller reported that Read, who has been staying with family and friends, chose her previous home as the setting for the interviews. She was joined by a volunteer security guard, described by Miller as someone “who looks like John Cena and has a license to carry.” Facing an uncertain future, Read has prepared for the possibility of another arrest, keeping a Ziploc “go bag” on hand with essentials: Advil, melatonin, a toothbrush and toothpaste, a hairbrush, lipstick, and foundation, as well as her lawyer's phone number. “I'm not backing down now,” Read told Vanity Fair, despite the looming prospect of a life sentence if convicted. According to Read, she won't entertain the idea of a plea deal, even under the risk of severe penalties. “As scary as a potential conviction is, I will go to jail for something I didn't do before I plea out. I will never give them that win.” Read, a former Fidelity Investments analyst and Bentley University finance professor, has assembled a team of criminal defense attorneys, but the cost of her legal defense has been steep. She has sold her home to offset expenses and is now living off the remains of her 401(k), accruing more than $5 million in legal fees. “If I can get the entire truth of this case out in the public forum, that, to me, is priceless,” she said. At the core of her defense are allegations that O'Keefe, her boyfriend of two years, was the victim of a violent cover-up involving other Boston police officers. Prosecutors argue that Read deliberately ran him over in her SUV after an evening out on January 29, 2022, a claim her defense refutes, asserting that O'Keefe was beaten by others. In July, her case resulted in a mistrial, and her legal team has appealed to Massachusetts' Supreme Judicial Court to dismiss two of the charges ahead of a scheduled retrial in January. Reflecting on her relationship with O'Keefe, Read described challenges in their dynamic, with disagreements over his role as a disciplinarian for his niece and nephew, who lived with him. According to Read, O'Keefe struggled to mourn his late sister, the children's mother, and remained hesitant about seeking therapy. “I think that's part of his stock,” Read told Vanity Fair, “this Irish Catholic, south-of-Boston, rub-some-dirt-on-it, drink-through-your-problems mindset.” In detailing the night of O'Keefe's death, Read recalled attending a gathering at the Waterfall Bar & Grille in Canton, after which she and O'Keefe joined others at an afterparty. Feeling uneasy upon arrival, she sent O'Keefe inside, only to leave after he didn't return. She admitted to a fleeting thought that he might be “screwing around,” explaining, “I didn't think he was physically incapacitated.” She left him multiple voicemails before heading home. Prosecutors, who highlight Read's flirty exchanges with O'Keefe's acquaintance Brian Higgins, argue that these interactions hint at motives for the crime. In response, Read openly admitted to seeking validation from Higgins. “I knew Higgins found me attractive,” she said, “It helped me emotionally validate myself, which is embarrassing to admit.” Amid the stress of her case, Read has remained steadfast about her innocence. Addressing rumors that she implicated herself in texts, she explained to Vanity Fair that she and her attorney, David Yannetti, only began communicating after police seized her phone. She said she initially told her parents, “If I did anything in any way, I'll pay my dues. That's how this should work. I want to know the truth — good, bad, ugly.” Read's retrial is set to bring her story back into the public eye, with high stakes and public scrutiny on both her legal and personal lives.
