Michael Delisser's journey into the world of leadership began at just 15 years old, sitting quietly in the back of his father's coaching sessions with Fortune 100 executives. These were elite leaders—brilliant, successful, respected—yet many had been fired for the same reason: ineffective communication. Watching top-tier professionals struggle to unlearn poor habits sparked a passion in him that would shape his life's work. Today, Michael has built his career around one mission: helping leaders communicate with clarity, awareness, and impact. He understands the gap many organizations create unintentionally—promoting talented individuals for their technical skill while overlooking the communication skills required to lead people. And in a world where AI is taking over more technical tasks than ever, the ability to communicate effectively isn't just important… it's make-or-break. Through coaching, speaking, and podcast conversations, Michael brings real-world stories and simple, actionable tools that leaders can use immediately. His work helps people connect better, engage deeper, and deliver results through stronger communication—starting with self-awareness and extending to every interaction that shapes leadership.https://www.delisserconsulting.com/https://www.delisserconsulting.com/leadership-accelerators-workbookBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/i-am-refocused-radio--2671113/support.Thank you for tuning in to I Am Refocused Radio.

The ground keeps moving, but our old habits try to pretend nothing has changed. In this mini episode, James Baraz talks honestly about what this moment is saying to us: we're not separate, our choices echo, and we can learn to respond with more care than fear. James Baraz's website: https://www.awakeningjoy.info/Starting with a simple practice—paying attention—we trace how mindfulness exposes the threads that bind our lives together, from family routines to global supply chains. When you feel those threads, John Muir's idea that everything is hitched to everything else stops being a quote and becomes a compass.From there we explore a handful of principles that travel well across crises and calm alike. Actions have consequences—call it karma or cause and effect—and that truth invites more deliberate choices at work, at home, and in public life. Integrity is not a moral badge; it's the felt ease of living one story instead of juggling two. Stewardship shows up as everyday compassion, the kind that checks in on neighbors, protects shared resources, and invests in long horizons. And change, while hard, becomes probable when intention outweighs inertia. James talks about that tipping point and how a clear why turns into practical habits that actually stick.These stories help us see our agency: the power to align values with action and to widen our circle of concern without burning out. Mindfulness ties it all together as a gateway to clarity — creating just enough pause to interrupt reactivity, meet complexity, and choose the next right step.If this conversation resonates, share it with someone who's ready to lead with care.

In this episode, I break down one of the biggest marketing opportunities of 2026 and beyond. We dive into how brands, from mom-and-pop shops to Fortune 50 giants, can use collectible strategy to drive trials, build real affinity, and reach entirely new audiences. I get into why collectibles are becoming a core part of culture, how “interest media” is changing brand discovery, and why frictionless execution matters more than ever. I also walk through real examples across airlines, gyms, clothing brands, and local businesses to show exactly how this strategy works in the real world.

Beyond her professional endeavors, Dina is a former skydiver, a hobby homesteader, an avid college football fan, and a well-intentioned, albeit average, golfer.email: dinat@mamava.com | 802.347.2111 (o) Website: www.mamava.comSay yes to dignified lactation spaces! Be a hero—here's how you can help. SHOW INTRO:Welcome to Episode 82! of the NXTLVL Experience Design podcast…In every episode we continue to follow our catch phrase of having “Dynamic Dialogues About DATA: Design, Architecture, Technology and the Arts.” And as we continue on this journey there will be thought provoking futurists, AI technology mavens, retailers, international hotel design executives as well as designers and architects of brand experience places.We'll talk with authors and people focused on wellness and sustainable design practices as well as neuroscientists who will continue to help us look at the built environment and the connections between our mind-body and the built world around us.We'll also have guests who are creative marketing masters from international brands and people who have started and grown some of the companies that are striking a new path for us follow.If you like what you hear on the NXTLVL Experience Design show, make sure to subscribe, like, comment and share with colleagues, friends and family.The NXTLVL Experience Design podcast is always grateful for the support of VMSD magazine.VMSD brings us, in the brand experience world, the International Retail Design Conference. I think the IRDC is one of the best retail design conferences that there is bringing together the world of retailers, brands and experience place makers every year for two days of engaging conversations and pushing us to keep on talking about what makes retailing relevant. You will find the archive of the NXTLVL Experience Design podcast on VMSD.com.Thanks also goes to Shop Association the only global retail trade association dedicated to elevating the in-store experience.SHOP Association represents companies and affiliates from 25 countries and brings value to their members through research, networking, education, events and awards. Check then out on SHOPAssociation.org Today, EPISODE 82… I talk with Dina Townsend Chief Sales Officer at Mamava a company whose mission is to create a healthier society through infrastructure and support for breastfeeding. And, along with partners who share in in their purpose of celebrating and supporting breastfeeding, Mamava is moving closer to creating a future where there is a dignified lactation space anywhere a parent may go. We'll get to my discussion with Dina in a minute, first though a few thoughts…*                     *                          *                          *A few episodes back I had Claire Coder founder and CEO if Aunt Flow on the show. That was an interesting conversation since we crossed what I think were a few boundaries (at least for me) and we talked quite candidly about menstruation. Not just about the biology of women's monthly cycle but about the fact that there are many women who have faced the scenario of getting their period unexpectedly and not have pads or tampons to meet them in their moment of need.Enter the company Aunt Flow who provides free feminine hygiene products in public restrooms, schools and other public buildings and to Fortune 500 corporate headquarters - for which tens of thousands of women are eternally grateful.This conversation with Dina Townsend, I guess you could say, falls in the Aunt Flow camp of subjects. Breast feeding moms was not a subject that I had on the list of things to address on the podcast. But here we are nevertheless with a subject that piqued my curiosity because the company Dina works for, Mamava, checks most of the boxes in our Dialogues on DATA: Design, Architecture, Technology and he Arts” catch phrase.First off…I did not know there was something called the “Pump Act”. For the curious out there, a little internet searching comes up with this:“…The PUMP for Nursing Mothers Act, enacted in December 2022, expands workplace protections for nursing employees by requiring employers to provide reasonable break time and a private, non-bathroom space for pumping breast milk for up to one year after a child's birth.This law allows for legal action if employers fail to comply…”Now… Dina will contend that many employers do in fact provide such a space and also that a janitors closet with a folding chair would be in line with the requirements. Sure, a closet meets the description of a ‘private space' but it wholly underserves the needs of a nursing mother in terms of experience.I am aware that there are widely divergent views on the whole subject of breast feeding – we are not going to go there – except that I'll say that I fully line up behind my wife who breastfed our two sons.My discussion with Dina moves from the necessity to provide environments for nursing mothers to breastfeed their infants while in public places to the buying power of mothers who statistics indicate make an enormous amount of the buying decisions in households to how tying Retail Media Networks - RMNs – to Mamava pods serve a triple bottom line serving People, Planet and Profit. It's a way of shifting our thinking about business from “How much money did we make?” to: “Did we make money in a way that benefits society and the environment too?”Nielsen, Boston Consulting Group (BCG) and Harvard Business Review research tells us that Women drive 70–80% of consumer purchasing decisions in the U.S. and that is even for products they don't personally use.  And that their annual global consumer spending, is $20 trillionwhich, by the way, is a number projected to rise to $28 trillion. In many households, women make or heavily influence91% of new home purchases, 92% of vacation decisions, and 80% of healthcare choices says research by the Yankelovich Monitor, Marketing to Women Conference data.And Millennial and Gen Z mothers are even more influential: they control about $1 trillion in direct annual spendingand are primary decision-makers for food, home goods, education, and entertainment – says research by the Pew Research Center.So, women and moms are a force to be reconned with in terms of buying power and why Mamava pods are more than an economic discussion. The behavioral and psychographic aspects of them is important as well.Women increasingly valuebrands that support family life, caregiving, and inclusivity and so features like Mamava pods in retail locations or corporate HQs or parental-leave policies have brand-equity impact.We have known for some time that brands that are considered authentic exhibiting genuine empathic concern for their customer and employeesare major drivers in establishing brand affinity and purchase decisions. The BabyCenter “State of Modern Motherhood” report says that “ 9 in 10 mothers say they are more loyal to brands that “understand the challenges of motherhood.”And then there is mom's digital influence. Pew Internet studies explains that“80% of moms research products online before buying and that 60% follow parenting or lifestyle influencers for purchase guidance.”When you combine these factors with the emergence of Retail Media Networks, RMNs, you have a value add to placing Mamava pods in places that do not actually take up any more space on the sales floors of a store than is already being occupied with stuff that does support the brand experience or selling anything.Use to be that when digital screens came into the retail world, we had kiosks as wayfinding devices. Then a proliferation of screens emerged in the market where walls were more digital wallpaper crowding the environment with content and, in my opinion adding little to experience, arguably creating a shopping experience with more visual distraction and diminishing the overall experience. Painting the environment with the broad-brush stroke of digital media is often ineffective in capturing and retaining attention and doesn't lead to the positive results we think it does.That said, well considered application of digital media like those found on Mamava pods creates an opportunity to provide messaging to customers that could be more like a public service announcement, like ‘get your flu shot here today,' or a focused marketing piece that invites customers to consider a particular product that they may not have thought of prior to arriving at the store.So, you might ask why this matters to retail designWomen and mothers aren't just your average everyday consumers, they're key decision-makers shaping the social expectations of brands and spaces. Retailers, airports, and workplaces that provide amenities like Mamava pods, family restrooms, or flexible shopping experiences are responding directly to data-driven insights like:Increased dwell time and spending when caregivers feel accommodated.Higher brand loyalty and word-of-mouth among mothers.Positive CSR – Corporate Social Responsibility - and inclusivity signaling which is important for both consumer and employee attraction.If you have recently traveled through an airport, you may have already come upon a Mamava pod or maybe you have seen their “bench” version in a retail store. Fed up with pumping in bathrooms and borrowed spaces—Mamava's co-founders, Sascha Mayer and Christine Dodson, applied their decades of expertise in design and brand strategy to solve a problem that was largely invisible: the lack of lactation spaces in workplaces and public spaces and as a result, the Mamava pod was born.Tying together the Mamava pod, and its various incarnations, and retail media needed some savvy about how to create an effective in-store media application that wouldn't end up as just another screen in an already overwhelming environment.Enter Dina Townsend.As Chief Sales Officer at Mamava, Dina leads the Sales Organization with energy, optimism, and a genuine passion for building connections. She is rooted in the belief that strong business acumen and a meaningful mission like the Mamava brand platform can be seamlessly intertwined. After a purpose-driven career pivot from the world of Digital Signage Technology to Mamava, Dina channels her expertise into propelling sales for this mission-centric company. ABOUT DAVID KEPRON:LinkedIn Profile: linkedin.com/in/david-kepron-9a1582bWebsites: https://www.davidkepron.com    (personal website)vmsd.com/taxonomy/term/8645  (Blog)Email: david.kepron@NXTLVLexperiencedesign.comTwitter: DavidKepronPersonal Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/davidkepron/NXTLVL Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nxtlvl_experience_design/Bio:David Kepron is a multifaceted creative professional with a deep curiosity to understand ‘why', ‘what's now' and ‘what's next'.

Purpose Driven Entrepreneurship is about more than building companies. It is about creating businesses that align with values, serve people with excellence, and leave a lasting legacy. In a world where profit often overshadows purpose, entrepreneurs who choose to build with impact stand out as innovators and leaders. David Sauers exemplifies this philosophy. As an entrepreneur and co-founder of Royal Restrooms, his career reflects a commitment to elevating the ordinary into something extraordinary. What began as a vision to redefine the portable restroom industry has grown into a national brand recognized for transforming events, weddings, and public gatherings into experiences marked by dignity and comfort. By taking something as overlooked as restrooms and applying creativity, innovation, and service, David demonstrated what purpose driven entrepreneurship looks like in action. But his story doesn't stop there. Beyond Royal Restrooms, David has ventured into industries ranging from rugged overland campers to nonprofit initiatives abroad. In every case, his work is fueled by a belief that business should reflect more than financial return. It should represent vision, values, and service to others. That perspective not only sets his ventures apart but also highlights a model for entrepreneurs everywhere who want to grow without losing sight of what matters most. Purpose driven entrepreneurship also emphasizes resilience. David's journey underscores that challenges are part of building any enterprise, but a mission-driven mindset turns obstacles into opportunities. By viewing setbacks as temporary and aligning decisions with core values, leaders can navigate uncertainty while keeping their organizations on track. This principle resonates with entrepreneurs across industries who face constant change and competition. Another hallmark of purpose driven entrepreneurship is its impact on people. Businesses that operate with a clear sense of purpose attract teams who believe in the mission. They inspire loyalty, foster innovation, and create cultures that sustain long-term success. David's ventures are examples of how focusing on people and purpose results in stronger organizations that deliver not only profits but also meaningful contributions to communities. For business leaders and entrepreneurs, the lesson is clear: aligning profit with purpose is no longer optional—it is a competitive advantage. Consumers and employees alike are drawn to organizations that stand for something beyond transactions. Entrepreneurs who prioritize purpose position themselves to grow sustainably, differentiate their brands, and build lasting legacies. Purpose driven entrepreneurship is not about choosing between impact and income. It is about recognizing that both can and should coexist. By embedding purpose into strategy, entrepreneurs create businesses that thrive financially while serving people at the highest level. David Sauers is a prime example of how vision, creativity, and commitment to values can reshape industries and inspire others to follow suit. Entrepreneurship will always demand risk, innovation, and hard work. But when it is guided by purpose, it becomes more than a career path—it becomes a platform for influence, service, and transformation. That is the true essence of purpose driven entrepreneurship, and why leaders like David Sauers continue to stand out in today's business landscape.

Known as the workplace culture whisperer, Dr Jolene Church, a leadership expert and sought after keynote speaker, helps teams and organizations build cultures where people feel seen, heard, and valued.  With over two decades of experience transforming teams across government or Fortune 500 companies and global nonprofit, she excels at bringing a human centred approach to leadership, fuelling engagement, belonging, and real-world results.  Dr Jolene changed schools 33 times, Kindergarten through 12.   She had   to build a relationship and then move on. No surprise then that, some of her oldest relationships are from childhood days. "I looked at it in a different way.   I needed to make that connection because my survival, my ability to thrive in that moment was based on me connecting.  I'm so grateful that I did. This does not mean that I don't overthink things.  It means that self-awareness is so important in realising how many times I am stopping myself from stepping into my best self. "  "I don't want to be muted. There's much power in the pause, in our present moment.   Between every problem and solution is a space. Change will happen in the future.   If I choose now to change something, I can't change the past, but I can change the present moment."

Is it really possible to build trust with customers in a business landscape overflowing with misinformation and emotional volatility? That burning question is at the heart of my conversation with Michael Forsberg, Director of Client Experience at BrandTrust. In an era many call "post-truth," business leaders face steep challenges in distinguishing what's real from what's noise—especially when it comes to understanding their customers' motivations. Michael's work focuses on uncovering the human truths and emotions driving decisions across industries from tech to healthcare to financial services. The impact? When brands neglect the emotional drivers beneath surface behaviors, they risk eroding loyalty, losing relevance, and missing out on real, meaningful relationships with their customers. Why should you listen to Michael Forsberg? Michael brings a rare combination of practical expertise, academic rigor (he's an MSU grad in Customer Experience Management and a former student in my class), and heartfelt real-world perspective. From navigating literal wildfires in Los Angeles to helping Fortune 500 brands reimagine their connection with customers, Michael understands both the stakes and the solutions for brands that want to break through "empathy gaps" and drive bottom-line results through emotional insight. Here are three essential questions Michael answers on the show: What do emotional inquiry and human truth really mean—and why do they matter for business leaders and marketers? Why is it so dangerous to rely exclusively on quantitative data when diagnosing customer challenges and designing solutions? What practical steps can organizations take to uncover emotional insights and apply them to improve experience, retention, and loyalty? Don't miss these eye-opening insights! Listen and subscribe on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or your favorite podcast platform—just search for "Mark Slatin." Every episode is designed for leaders who want to move past the surface and start creating truly delighted customers. Meet Michael Forsberg Michael Forsberg is Director of Client Experience at BrandTrust, a leading brand strategy and research firm. Michael specializes in leveraging applied social sciences and behavioral economics to uncover the hidden emotional engines powering consumer decision-making. With expertise spanning tech, healthcare, CPG, financial services, and more, he partners with organizations to identify and address the core emotional narratives shaping their customers' behaviors. Michael began his career in advertising as part of a media agency before moving client-side at an international humanitarian organization, which gave him a global view of human needs and motivations. He has since spent over five years at BrandTrust, helping clients design emotional inquiry research, develop brand strategies, and drive meaningful organizational change grounded in deep emotional insight. Michael holds a Master of Science in Customer Experience Management from Michigan State University and brings real-world empathy to every conversation—something that started with his own experience of responding to wildfire evacuation in Los Angeles.

A WIRED feature explores a startup run entirely by AI agents—including executives—raising new questions about what leadership looks like when teammates aren't human. Amazon announces a massive $2.5 billion investment to upskill 50 million people worldwide. New research from Yahoo UK and Modern Sciences shows AI is reshaping pay and opportunity, rewarding those who work with technology instead of against it. And Honeywell CEO Vimal Kapur tells Fortune why AI isn't just a tool—it's a complete redesign of how business operates.

Most entrepreneurs ask: "How do I get my first client?" My answer: Stop asking. Start delivering value—uninvited, uncompensated, and unapologetically. When I dropped out of my PhD program in 1995 (drowning in student loan debt), I had no portfolio, no speaking experience, and no business asking Fortune 500 companies for their money. But I understood something most don't: Your playing small does not serve the world. In this Marketing Speak episode, I reveal: The "willing suspension of disbelief" that opens miraculous opportunities  Why I transform every interaction with the intention to "reveal light" How trusting your gut is actually receiving divine guidance (not just random intuition)  The NetConcepts pivot from web agency to SEO powerhouse after the Target audit Whether you believe in spiritual business practices or not, I offer a compelling invitation: Try it as an experiment. Get into a high vibration and ask for guidance on which prospect to contact. What's the worst that could happen? You might just double your sales. Repeatedly.

In this throwback episode, we have Anne and Mark Lackey. Entrepreneurs that has a series of ventures that each emerged from a real‑world problem they faced themselves. When a valued employee abruptly quit, they recognized the hidden cost of staff churn and the difficulty of finding reliable “drudgery” workers—people willing to handle repetitive, phone‑based tasks. Their answer was to create HireSmart Virtual Assistants. HireSmart's model combines two core services: rigorous recruiting that matches the right talent to the right role, and a one‑week certification boot‑camp that trains virtual assistants in both technical skills and cultural communication. They also act as an ongoing HR partner, handling issues that arise after placement. The result is a seamless experience for clients—calls sound as if they're coming from the U.S., tasks are completed efficiently, and companies enjoy significant cost savings. The founders also note the broader social impact: they now provide health care to thousands of Filipino families, a benefit many Fortune 500 call centers don't offer.
