Julius (@one.patch.man) joins to tell the guys about his NSCC PC quest of Flawless's Every Player, Every Game, Ricky's talking about brunch conjures an old muted mic, and Chad can't figure it out while hunting for a new job.
A meditation preached by Fr. Eric Nicolai at Lyncroft Centre in Toronto. The verse from the psalm: “My soul thirsts for God, for the living God” (Ps 42:2). To thirst like that is a deep desire nestled in the recesses of our heart. Our prayer now is an occasion to explore the inner chambers of our lives. We should do so with sincerity and simplicity.Music: Michael Lee of Toronto, Ontario.Thumbnail: Jan Van Eyck, The Lamb of God, Ghent Altarpiece, 1432
When you think about the work we do as consultants and coaches, it's easy to focus on deliverables, frameworks, and strategies. But beneath all that lies a deeper truth: What is the real power we bring—especially when we don't have formal authority? In this episode, I'm diving into some of the most meaningful questions facing our profession today: What is the true influence of consultants and coaches in today's organizational landscape? How do we stay grounded in values like dignity, respect, and people-centered leadership when external pressures, and even legislation, create real barriers? And what role should we play in advancing social impact? These are not easy questions. But they are the ones that matter. And that's exactly why I invited none other than Peter Block to join me for this conversation. Peter is the author of Flawless Consulting, the book so many of us in this field consider the Bible of our profession. I first read it when I was a brand-new OD consultant at Disney—and re-reading it during my sabbatical reminded me just how deeply Peter's thinking has shaped my own. This conversation is both personally meaningful and professionally transformative. Peter shares his insights on consulting with integrity, power without authority, and how we can help build organizations that serve the common good, even in the face of short-term thinking and rising social challenges. What You'll Learn: Why Peter Block originally resisted writing Flawless Consulting—and what changed his mind How consultants can influence without control or authority Why “how we are with each other” matters more than what we say Simple, transformational questions that deepen client conversations The deeper purpose of consulting as a force for social good Where To Dive In: (0:00:02) - The Value of Consulting in Organizations(0:12:52) - The Ethical Role of Consultants(0:19:05) - The Illusion of Control and Power(0:25:24) - Embracing Agency in Consulting Relationships(0:31:47) - Shifting Perspectives in Consulting Relationships(0:40:01) - Exploring Empowerment and Collaboration Journey(0:48:38) - Navigating Organizational Shifts and Values(0:59:59) - Embodying the Common Good Philosophy(1:13:03) - Building a Community of Purpose-Driven Consultants Exact Quotes from the Episode: “The relationship is the delivery system for my expertise.” — Peter Block [0:05:37] “How you and I are with each other will make it real or make it a speech.” — Peter Block [0:09:03] “I was very nervous that my peers in OD would say, ‘Peter, the model was a cookbook.'” — Peter Block [0:05:37] “What you know is not the same as what people act on. The relationship makes it actionable.” — Peter Block [paraphrased summary of extended quote, 0:05:37] “Every invitation matters—and yours especially so.” — Peter Block [0:04:12] Next Steps: I invite you to reflect on Peter's deep wisdom, especially around how our relationship skills really are, the delivery mechanism of our expertise, the illusion of control and how nobody, even the top executives, have control. I loved what we got into about the differences between control and power, the prevailing myths that are out there that affect our own thinking and how we show up in the world around scarcity and division, and how a Flawless Consulting approach, this relationship and collaborative approach, is what's needed in any economy. As a branding person, I'd be remiss if I did not draw out what I love what Peter said about looking for clients who are looking for us. So the question I invite you to consider is how easy or hard are you making it for the people who are looking for you to get what you do? Inspired by Peter Block's take on purpose-driven consulting?

F1 journalists Jesús Balseiro and Julianne Cerasoli join Tom Clarkson in the Barcelona paddock to dissect a dramatic Spanish Grand Prix, where Oscar Piastri secured his fifth win of the season and Max Verstappen received a 10-second penalty for causing a collision with George Russell. Piastri is now 10 points clear of McLaren teammate Lando Norris at the top of the World Championship standings. Where did Oscar have the edge over Lando at the Circuit de Catalunya? How crucial was the start to the outcome of this race? And what does Lando need to do next to swing the momentum of this title race back in his favour? Tom, Jesús and Julianne share their thoughts on the late incident between Verstappen and Russell, which saw the Dutchman demoted from P5 to P10. Why did the collision happen? And what does this result mean for Max's hopes of a record-equalling fifth title in a row? Sauber Team Principal Jonathan Wheatley joins the pod to reflect on Nico Hulkenberg's incredible drive from P15 to P5, which secured the team's best result since Imola 2022 and lifted them off the bottom of the Constructor Standings. Also on the agenda: a mixed weekend for Ferrari, Fernando Alonso's first points of the season, Lance Stroll's withdrawal from the Grand Prix, and important points for both Racing Bulls and Alpine.

From Cassette Tapes and Phrasebooks to AI Real-Time Translations — Machines Can Now Speak for Us, But We're Losing the Art of Understanding Each Other May 21, 2025A new transmission from Musing On Society and Technology Newsletter, by Marco CiappelliThere's this thing I've dreamed about since I was a kid.No, it wasn't flying cars. Or robot butlers (although I wouldn't mind one to fold the laundry). It was this: having a real conversation with someone — anyone — in their own language, and actually understanding each other.And now… here we are.Reference: Google brings live translation to Meet, starting with Spanish. https://www.engadget.com/apps/google-brings-live-translation-to-meet-starting-with-spanish-174549788.htmlGoogle just rolled out live AI-powered translation in Google Meet, starting with Spanish. I watched the demo video, and for a moment, I felt like I was 16 again, staring at the future with wide eyes and messy hair.It worked. It was seamless. Flawless. Magical.And then — drumroll, please — it sucked!Like… really, existentially, beautifully sucked.Let me explain.I'm a proud member of Gen X. I grew up with cassette tapes and Walkmans, boomboxes and mixtapes, floppy disks and Commodore 64s, reel-to-reel players and VHS decks, rotary phones and answering machines. I felt language — through static, rewinds, and hiss.Yes, I had to wait FOREVER to hit Play and Record, at the exact right moment, tape songs off the radio onto a Maxell, label it by hand, and rewind it with a pencil when the player chewed it up.I memorized long-distance dialing codes. I waited weeks for a letter to arrive from a pen pal abroad, reading every word like it was a treasure map.That wasn't just communication. That was connection.Then came the shift.I didn't miss the digital train — I jumped on early, with curiosity in one hand and a dial-up modem in the other.Early internet. Mac OS. My first email address felt like a passport to a new dimension. I spent hours navigating the World Wide Web like a digital backpacker — discovering strange forums, pixelated cities, and text-based adventures in a binary world that felt limitless.I said goodbye to analog tools, but never to analog thinking.So what is the connection with learning languages?Well, here's the thing: exploring the internet felt a lot like learning a new language. You weren't just reading text — you were decoding a culture. You learned how people joked. How they argued. How they shared, paused, or replied with silence. You picked up on the tone behind a blinking cursor, or the vibe of a forum thread.Similarly, when you learn a language, you're not just learning words — you're decoding an entire world. It's not about the words themselves — it's about the world they build. You're learning gestures. Food. Humor. Social cues. Sarcasm. The way someone raises an eyebrow, or says “sure” when they mean “no.”You're learning a culture's operating system, not just its interface. AI translation skips that. It gets you the data, but not the depth. It's like getting the punchline without ever hearing the setup.And yes, I use AI to clean up my writing. To bounce translations between English and Italian when I'm juggling stories. But I still read both versions. I still feel both versions. I'm picky — I fight with my AI counterpart to get it right. To make it feel the way I feel it. To make you feel it, too. Even now.I still think in analog, even when I'm living in digital.So when I watched that Google video, I realized:We're not just gaining a tool. We're at risk of losing something deeply human — the messy, awkward, beautiful process of actually trying to understand someone who moves through the world in a different language — one that can't be auto-translated.Because sometimes it's better to speak broken English with a Japanese friend and a Danish colleague — laughing through cultural confusion — than to have a perfectly translated conversation where nothing truly connects.This isn't just about language. It's about every tool we create that promises to “translate” life. Every app, every platform, every shortcut that promises understanding without effort.It's not the digital that scares me. I use it. I live in it. I am it, in many ways. It's the illusion of completion that scares me.The moment we think the transformation is done — the moment we say “we don't need to learn that anymore” — that's the moment we stop being human.We don't live in 0s and 1s. We live in the in-between. The gray. The glitch. The hybrid.So yeah, cheers to AI-powered translation, but maybe keep your Walkman nearby, your phrasebook in your bag — and your curiosity even closer.Go explore the world. Learn a few words in a new language. Mispronounce them. Get them wrong. Laugh about it. People will appreciate your effort far more than your fancy iPhone.Alla prossima,— Marco

Join us as we dive into the characters, action, music, and what each version got right (or hilariously wrong). Flawless victory? Not quite... but it's a fight worth watching.

Elise is a journalist, podcaster, and the author of Flawless: Lessons in Looks and Culture from the K-Beauty Capital. She is the host of TED Talks Daily, a co-host of Forever 35, a host-at-large for NPR, and the host of Accenture's award-winning Built for Change podcast.

Our guest today is writer Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, revered in her home country of Nigeria and in the United States, thanks especially to the popularity of her 2013 novel Americannah, a book that straddles the cultures of America and Nigeria and considers the challenges, status, and perceptions of Africans abroad. Since then, Adichie has continued to write fiction and essays on a range of issues, from identity, to grief, to the role of women. Her Ted Talk, “We Should All Be Feminists,” has been viewed by millions and heard by even more when Beyonce sampled a portion in the song, “Flawless.” Adichie is also the author of the novels Half of a Yellow Sun and Purple Hibiscus, the essays We Should All Be Feminists and Notes on Grief, and the story collection The Thing Around Your Neck.On March 7, 2025, Adchie came to the Sydney Goldstein Theater in San Francisco to discuss her new novel, Dream Count, with Anna Malaika Tubbs, author of “Erased: What American Patriarchy Has Hidden from Us”, to be published in May 2025.

Angela Bassett plays Stella. And, well, Stella's got it all. Flawless beauty, a big job, a breathtaking house, and a smarty-pants son. All that's missing, alas, is a man. Back in 1998, fans of the Terry McMillan bestseller flooded theaters for the May-December romance. But now, decades later, was Stella's groove ever really gone in the first place? Why does Stella talk to herself so much? And do age differences really matter when both parties are fine as hellllllllll?

What's up Bros? It is with great sadness that we accept that this season of RHOSLC has officially come to an end. But not before we get to check in with Britani after her wild rollercoaster of a season. We get more Jared Osmond talk, we also find out that Jared had a lot to say to Bronwyn in a DM regarding the size of his penis. Strange. Angie and Britani discuss the wine incident. Britani brings up Meredith allegedly throwing up and crying on the girls trip. Lisa and Whitney square off one more time in hopes to "burn it" and move on. The group attempts to clear the air at the end in hopes to mend some fences. All in all, just a tremendous season, a tremendous effort from the Ladies of Salt Lake. We cannot wait for next year!
