You reached the summit. The prestigious firm, the niche you built, the reputation you earned. So why does it feel like the success you fought for is the very thing keeping you stuck? If you've ever quietly wondered whether the path that looked perfect from the outside still fits who you are, this conversation is for you.Gary sits down with international attorney Joe Prencipe, who trained inside elite firms like Freshfields and Baker McKenzie before walking away to build his own practice. Joe shares the surprising moment he felt "retired" at the top of his career, and what it really takes to trade prestige for alignment. Along the way, he unpacks the business-minded mindset most lawyers were never taught, how AI is reshaping client expectations right now, and the concrete steps that make a law firm valuable, sellable, and free.Key takeaways:Recognize when your own expertise is quietly working against you, keeping you conditioned to a life you never chose.Deliver business-minded counsel, not just legal answers, by weighing dollars, risk, and practical outcomes alongside the merits.Position your firm to be "sell-ready" always with clean books, long-term staff contracts, low client concentration, and a data-driven pipeline.Understand how AI is separating sophisticated clients who value expert judgment from those who will keep getting worse advice.Stop treating yourself as the product, and start building systems so your firm can run without you carving every piece by hand.Reclaim the time and stillness to step back and realign your work with your family, your values, and your purpose.If this episode stirred something in you, subscribe so you never miss a conversation, and leave a review to help another lawyer find the show.

Cornelia Choe is an international leadership expert, global keynote speaker, and Thinkers50 Radar honoree who has advised hundreds of CEOs and senior leaders across five continents. A Georgetown University and Harvard Kennedy School graduate, Cornelia has worked in private equity at Morgan Stanley and other institutions, supporting leadership teams across Asia, Europe, and North America. Fluent in three languages and having lived in 11 different places, she brings a uniquely global perspective to leadership, decision-making, relationships, and navigating complex, high-stakes environments. Her TEDx talk has been viewed more than two million times. On this episode we talk about: How moving from Minnesota to South Korea at age 10 taught Cornelia to question her assumptions and adapt to new environments The importance of being willing to rewrite your mental “map” when entering a new culture, industry, or situation How Cornelia's early efforts to help women start businesses shaped her perspective on using your efforts to create meaningful change Why embracing uncertainty and constant change can help you develop resilience and better decision-making skills How talking to people with different perspectives can help leaders see a bigger picture and make better decisions Cornelia's approach to personal finance, including the importance of timing, flexibility, savings, and having “dry powder” for unpredictable opportunities Why strong relationships and trust are essential infrastructure for building businesses, leading people, and accessing accurate information Top 3 Takeaways Question the map in your head. The assumptions and mental models that work in one environment may not work in another. When circumstances change, be willing to gather new information, challenge your assumptions, and build a new understanding of how to succeed. Seek perspectives you don't already have. Leaders can easily surround themselves with people who think similarly or tell them what they want to hear. Talking with customers, suppliers, employees, and people who see situations differently can reveal angles you wouldn't see on your own. Build relationships based on trust. Strong relationships aren't just valuable socially—they can become the infrastructure for better leadership, better information, and greater opportunities. Leaders need to create enough trust that people feel safe telling them difficult truths rather than simply telling them what they want to hear. Notable Quotes "We can't just expect to coast through life and do nothing, yet at the same time empowering people so that they can realize their dreams." "Any person in a world of constant change is only able to see a certain part of the puzzle or the certain part of the landscape." "Our relationship network and the relationships that we have in our lives are the infrastructure and the backbone of our ability to create money."

English is not my first language. Didn't expect that, huh?

In this FocusCore Podcast episode, host David Sweet interviews Lars Schandorff, Senior Director of People & Talent for APAC Supply Chain with a global American company. With over 17 years of experience spanning Denmark, Singapore, Dubai, and Japan, Lars has built talent strategies for organizations including British American Tobacco, Seadrill, and Maersk, from managing an $8 billion global portfolio to building the entire talent ecosystem for a $1 billion greenfield factory in Japan. Lars and David discuss how to cultivate a sustainable Japan executive bench instead of relying on expats indefinitely, why executive presence looks different depending on culture, how to keep leadership teams stable through high-stakes transformation, why speaking Japanese is as much about respect as communication, what an "AI native" organization actually looks like in Japan, and what Lars sees as Japan's biggest talent challenge over the next five years.The 2026 FocusCore Salary Guide is here: 2026 Salary GuideIn this episode you will hear:How to build a sustainable local executive bench in Japan instead of relying on expatsWhy "executive presence" reads differently across American, European, and Japanese leadership culturesHow to keep leaders and teams steady through high-pressure transformation and M&AWhy fluency in Japanese is, for Lars, primarily a signal of respect rather than just a skillWhat an "AI native" organization looks like inside a Japanese business, and the infrastructure gap between companies who can afford closed AI systems and those who can'tLars's prediction for Japan's biggest talent acquisition challenge and opportunity over the next five yearsAbout Lars:Lars Schandorff has built his career around a consistent thread: helping organizations grow their people even as the ground shifts beneath them, whether that ground is a collapsing oil price, an acquisition, or an entry into a wholly new market. With more than 17 years of experience spanning Denmark, the Middle East, Singapore, and Japan, he has spent his career designing talent strategy for some of the most demanding transformation environments in global business.He currently serves as Senior Director of People & Talent for APAC Supply Chain at a leading American company, where he oversees the talent agenda across 11 complex markets. Before that, Lars held senior talent and HR roles at British American Tobacco, Seadrill, and Maersk, building the entire talent ecosystem for a $1 billion greenfield factory in Japan, managing workforce architecture for an $8 billion global portfolio at Seadrill, and helping launch multi-billion-dollar energy projects across Singapore and Korea.Lars's path to Japan began in Copenhagen, where he studied East Asian studies before joining the Japanese Embassy in Denmark. From there he moved into Maersk's shipping and drilling operations, spent time in Dubai building a global leadership development function, and eventually returned to Japan, where he has now lived and worked for the past eight years. Fluent in Japanese, Lars approaches his work in Japan with a simple philosophy: as a guest in the country, it is on him to adapt, not the other way around, an outlook that shapes how he builds trust with the leaders and teams he supports.Connect with Lars Schandorff:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/lars-schandorff-178baa7/Connect with David Sweet:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/drdavidsweet/Twitter: https://twitter.com/focuscorejpFacebook: :https://www.facebook.com/focuscoreasiaInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/focuscorejp/Website: https://www.japan.focuscoregroup.com/This podcast was proudly produced by Lisa Yasuda.“Doin' the Uptown Lowdown,” used by permission of Christopher Davis-Shannon.

The Light Gate Welcomes Guest: researcher, experiencer, hypnotherapist, Martin Rivera Date: August 31, 2026 Time: 5-7pm pacific/8-10 pm eastern Episode: 174 Discussion: UFOs, Past Lives, Hypnotherapy Our guest tonight is UFO researcher, experiencer and Quantum Hypnotherapist Martin Rivera. This is a technique first developed by highly regarded author/researcher Dolores Cannon. Martin has been studying the subject of UFOs & ETs for many years. He uses the technique of Quantum Hypnotherapy to help experiencers remember and process their otherworldly encounters. He is certified in Quantum Healing Hypnosis and Past Lives at the Dolores Cannon Academy in Arkansas. He is a co-founder of “Quantum Balance,” a healing arts center with transformational programs based on Long Island, Ny. He also does past life regression therapy (and sometimes a future life,) sound & light healing, emotional healing therapy, pineal gland activation, connecting with your higher self, meeting your spirit guides, accessing your Akashic Records and Reiki healing. Fluent in Spanish, he's translated a number of books into Spanish, including Dolores Cannons “The Custodians,” and “Keepers of the Garden” and many others. He has worked with many people, authors and experiencers, aiding them in their journey of spiritual discovery. As he says, “I help you to connect with your higher self for healing mind-body spirit.” Many people recall past lives reaching back to Atlantis or Lemuria, or even a past-life as an ET. Others recall ET encounters as young children. The possibilities are endless. And of course, Martin has had some astounding UFO experiences of his own. This is going to be so much fun.

He's from Guinea, living in Morocco, studying engineering in French, and one of my New Sound Scholarship winners.  In this conversation, Gilbert shares how he went from silent, afraid and unable to open his mouth to someone who speaks English with confidence, teaches others, and is now building a public speaking club in his own community.

What does it actually mean to build a relationship with the Qur'an, beyond simply reading its words?In this episode of Quran Conversations, Dalia Mogahed is joined by Dr. Hatim Yousef to reflect on how we can become true companions of the Qur'an, before turning to verse 127 of Surah TaHa and its warning about repeatedly turning away from Allah's signs.Dr. Hatim Yousef is an Islamic scholar, educator, and linguist who studied Islamic jurisprudence, Quranic sciences, tajweed, and hifdh under traditional scholars in the UAE and Jordan. He has memorized the Quran and holds several ijazas. Since moving to the United States in 2008, he has served as an Imam and instructor at the ADAMS Center in Virginia, teaching tafsir, hadith, seerah, Arabic grammar, and tajweed. Fluent in Arabic and English, Dr. Hatim also holds a degree in English and Translation, an MA in English and Literature, and a PhD in Linguistics.Dr. Hatim shares practical advice for anyone wanting to understand and reflect on the Qur'an more deeply. It begins with something simple: spending time with it. Reciting it every day, learning its language, studying with knowledgeable teachers, and allowing that relationship to grow consistently over time. As he explains, the more time you spend with the Qur'an, the more the Qur'an gives you.In this episode, you will learn:

From learning Mandarin with nothing but a notebook and a pen on the streets of Wuhan to losing $650,000 of his own money before ever raising outside capital, Sean Weisbrot shares hard-won lessons on cross-cultural dealmaking, bootstrapping versus fundraising, and why LinkedIn visibility now matters for founders and their teams. Sean is the founder of SparkVox, a tool that turns content executive teams are already creating into LinkedIn posts in their own voice, and the host of We Live to Build, a podcast with roughly 235,000 subscribers and more than 320 interviews with seven and eight figure brand owners. He has helped create over $100 million in value across his network and generated more than $15 million in revenue for his own businesses, all while living in China, Vietnam, and now Portugal. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN: You'll discover how a single misstep with a business card or a signing pen can cost a deal before it starts, why 320 founder interviews convinced Sean that bootstrapped founders tend to be happier than funded ones, and how a $400,000 gap between what one investor promised and delivered helped sink his last company. Sean also explains how he now runs a business on roughly $50 a month using AI, and why he believes every founder and executive needs a visible presence on LinkedIn. SEAN'S JOURNEY: Sean had no entrepreneurial role model growing up. What moved him was a pull to leave the US, and after missing a deadline for a teaching program in Japan, he landed in China instead and stayed for ten years, learning Mandarin street vendor by street vendor with a notebook and a pen. His first real deal came in 2016, connecting an American founder with a Chinese investor for a $150,000 raise and earning a $7,500 commission. From there he built a $15 million consulting business helping Chinese and Western companies raise money from each other in the blockchain space. His next venture, a tech company built to compete with Slack, taught him a harder lesson. He put in $650,000 of his own money before raising a $1 million seed round, and a $400,000 shortfall from one investor became a major factor in the company's failure. COVID and a divorce followed, which is part of what led him to Portugal for a fresh start. KEY INSIGHTS: Deal culture varies sharply across countries, down to details like how a business card is received. Corey shared a parallel story about a 1980s deal that nearly stalled at signing over missing ceremonial pens. Founder happiness tracks closely with how a company was funded. Across 320-plus interviews, Sean found bootstrapped founders were generally happier than those who raised capital. A funding gap can sink a company as fast as a bad decision can, as Sean's own $400,000 shortfall proved. AI has collapsed the cost of running a business. Sean's infrastructure now costs about $50 a month, down from roughly $1,000 a month at his last company. Visibility has become a gatekeeper for access, with investors now expecting founders to be active on LinkedIn before they'll even take a call. Perfect for founders weighing whether to bootstrap or raise capital, business leaders working across cultures on deals, and anyone trying to build an authentic presence on LinkedIn.
