As athletes, we all know what pre-race anxiety feels like. The difference between elite athletes and those still finding their stride isn't that they don't experience nervousness—they feel it just as much as we do. But they've learned to frame it differently. Coach Steve Magness says it best: "Elite athletes don't feel less anxiety before competition. They feel the same tight chest, sweaty palms, racing heart, and butterflies that the rest of us do. The difference? They've trained themselves to interpret those sensations differently." This shift—from seeing nervousness as a threat to seeing it as a challenge—is where the magic happens. Research shows that high performers don't experience less stress—they just frame it better. Rather than trying to eliminate that anxious feeling, they embrace it, knowing it's a sign that they're ready to rise. Nerves aren't the enemy. In fact, they're your body's way of saying, “You care. Something meaningful is about to happen.” So, instead of running from it, lean into it. Understand that those nerves are helping you prepare, keeping you sharp, and sharpening your focus. They're not a sign of weakness—they're a sign of strength. We can often think that nervousness means something is wrong or that we're not prepared enough. But the reality is, it means you do care. It means your mind and body are ready for the challenge ahead. The goal isn't to eliminate the nerves, it's to work with them. See them as fuel, not fear. Feel them, acknowledge them, and let them guide you forward. When you feel those pre-race jitters, remind yourself: You're about to do something meaningful. Action item: Next time those race-day nerves hit, don't push them away. Instead, breathe into them. Let them be the signal that you're ready for the challenge. Harness that energy to fuel your focus, and remember, those butterflies are pushing you toward greatness. Ready to learn how to channel that energy?  Clear the Mechanism and Rise Above Nervousness before a race can feel overwhelming. But how do you take that energy and channel it into focus instead of letting it distract you? The answer lies in a simple but powerful mindset technique from For the Love of the Game, where Kevin Costner's character, a seasoned pitcher, uses the phrase “Clear the mechanism.” This technique isn't just for baseball—it's something every triathlete can use. When the nerves start to flood your mind, and you feel like you're about to be overwhelmed by the noise, distractions, and pressure, the key is to clear the mechanism. When you clear the mechanism, you're intentionally blocking out everything that isn't directly related to the task at hand. It's like hitting the reset button, shifting your focus from the fear and doubt to the one thing you can control: your next move. Whether it's your swim stroke, your pedal cadence, or your run stride, you zoom in on that one thing and let everything else fade away. Coach Steve Magness reminds us that nerves aren't the enemy—they're a sign that you care, that your body is getting ready. But we can use those nerves to fuel us, not flood us. And just like the pitcher who needs to block out the crowd, the score, and the noise, as a triathlete, you can clear out the mental clutter and focus on what's in front of you. Here's how to apply it: When the nerves hit, take a deep breath, and clear the mechanism. Shut down the distractions, the what-ifs, and the self-doubt. Focus on your next step—the one thing you can control right now. Maybe it's your breath, your form, or the rhythm of your movement. Acknowledge the nerves, then let them guide you forward, not pull you under. By clearing your mental space, you give yourself permission to focus on the task, to be fully present, and to perform at your best. It's not about eliminating the nerves; it's about making them work for you instead of against you.     Action item: Before your next race or workout, practice clearing the mechanism. When you feel overwhelmed, mentally shut out everything except for the next task at hand. Clear the mechanism, focus on your breath, and take control of the moment. You've trained for this. Let the nerves fuel your focus and guide you to greatness.   TriDot Workout of the Week: Strength Recovery Week Training - Strength Strength training is a crucial yet often overlooked component of triathlon preparation. Exercises like reverse lunges, single-leg deadlifts, and quadruped band kickbacks help build unilateral strength and stability, which are essential for efficient running and injury prevention. Core-focused movements such as plank reaches, V-ups, and half-kneeling rotations enhance balance, posture, and power transfer across all three disciplines. Functional exercises like burpees and cross-pull lawnmowers improve overall athleticism, coordination, and cardiovascular resilience. Together, these movements not only boost muscular endurance and joint integrity but also help triathletes maintain form under fatigue, reduce injury risk, and ultimately perform more consistently across swim, bike, and run segments.   Rotate 1-3x through the following exercises doing 10-20 repetitions or 30 to 60 sec efforts of each.   Reverse Lunge Single Leg Deadlifts Half-Kneeling Rotation Plank Reaches Cross Pulls Lawnmower Burpees V Ups One leg Quadruped Band Kickbacks     Fun Segment: Trail Fail or Win!   It's time for Trail Fail or Trail Win! — the game where we throw out some wild off-road triathlon scenarios, and Rich and I decide: was this a total disaster… or a sneaky success in disguise? Some of these could be race-ending nightmares—or just epic stories waiting to happen. Let's find out!   Scenario 1: The Wild Animal Detour Mid-race, a deer darts across the trail and you crash while trying to avoid it. You roll into the bushes, get back on your feet, and still finish 3rd in your age group—leaves and twigs in your helmet included.   Scenario 2: The Wrong-Turn Bonus Miles You miss a poorly marked turn on the trail run, add nearly 1.5 miles to your race, and come in well over your expected time. But… you didn't quit and still finished smiling.     Scenario 3: The Creek Shoe Sacrifice You nail the bike leg and enter the run feeling great… until you sink into a muddy creek crossing and one of your shoes stays behind. You finish the run with one barefoot foot.     Scenario 4: Transition Tent Tantrum Your gear bag somehow ends up in someone else's spot. You panic, yell a few expletives, throw your hands up—and then remember your gear is on the other side of the rack. You recover… barely.     Scenario 5: The Mid-Race Snack Catastrophe You reach for your trail mix on the bike—your new homemade “clean fuel”—and spill it all over your top tube. The rest of the ride, you're being followed by bees. You still PR the course! So whether you're dodging wildlife, losing shoes in creeks, or baiting bees with your snacks, remember—off-road triathlon isn't just a race. It's an adventure. Keep sending us your crazy scenarios, or better yet—live them. And we'll see you next time on Trail Fail or Win!   Closing:   Thanks again for listening this week. Please be sure to follow us @303Triathlon and @grit2greatnessendurance and of course go to iTunes and give us a rating and a comment. We'd really appreciate it! Stay tuned, train informed and enjoy the endurance journey!

June is ushering in a powerful energetic portal, accelerating and magnifying time in ways that challenge our typical perception. This month invites you to go within and ask: "What is the energy teaching me right now?" With Saturn in Aries until the fall, we're in a crucial "dress rehearsal" for a new phase of personal identity, courage, sovereignty, self-expression, and our will to live. If you feel a spark but are unsure how to act, slow down. Stillness is where the answers lie. As the Summer Solstice approaches, harness the vibrant energy of the sun to cleanse, clear, and illuminate your inner world. Consider the liberating prayer: "God, relieve me of the bondage of self." This "bondage of self" is where fear and outdated patterns keep us small and limited. The 6 and 9 energy in June is potent, subtle, and can be manipulative if not approached consciously. It’s potent because it connects you to your deepest, soulful truth—the insights you share with no one else. This combination highlights themes of wisdom and service. Prioritize being of service to yourself so you can truly serve others. The 6 and 9 is an intuitive starting point for attuning to higher energetic frequencies, requiring deep listening and discernment through experience and awareness. Throughout June, pay close attention to your energetic frequency. Pay attention to how spaces and people impact your energy. Notice what weighs you down and actively detoxify it so you can live more freely, happily, and easily. Key Dates in June: June 6th: Venus Enters Taurus – Amplifies connection to the material world and sensual pleasures. A wonderful time to engage all your senses and embrace pleasurable experiences. June 8th: Mercury Enters Cancer – Fosters emotional intelligence and intuitive presence. Cultivate stillness to allow intuition to guide you. June 9th: Jupiter in Cancer – Offers expansive opportunities for intuitive development and self-care. Re-evaluate your self-care needs now and bravely honor them. June 11th: Full Moon in Sagittarius (3:44 AM ET) – Expands our sense of self, soul, faith, and personal meaning. Celebrate joy and release outdated beliefs that limit your perspective. June 17th: Mars Enters Virgo – Focuses on daily routines and wellness. An ideal time to start a new health routine or organize your surroundings, with an emphasis on quality. June 20th: Summer Solstice / Sun Enters Cancer – An energetic gateway to set intentions aligned with intuition, wisdom, femininity, and creativity. Honor this new season with a personal ritual. June 25th: New Moon in Cancer (6:31 AM ET) – Signals a powerful emergence and rebirth on a soul level, deeply connected to hearth, home, and family. Ask your soul what truly feeds and nurtures you. June 26th: Mercury Enters Leo – Encourages connection, joy, laughter, and playfulness. A resurgence of your inner child and a demonstration of your evolved meaning and destiny.

Chéla Gage returns to talk about her new non-profit 1,000,000 Fosters. She shares her journey and the impact she hopes to create in this week's episode. Chéla's journey to launching her nonprofit to support adults who have experienced foster care as youth. This initiative aims to provide transformative life and career coaching, foster personal growth and independence, and build a strong community for former foster youth. Chéla's personal experience growing up in foster care fuels her passion for this work, and she envisions the organization as a supportive network, similar to a fraternity or sorority, connecting individuals with resources and opportunities. The goal of 1,000,000 Fosters is to empower former foster youth by leveraging their inherent resilience and providing mentorship and guidance. Chéla emphasizes the unique strengths developed through the foster care experience, such as independence, resilience, and adaptability. She plans to create masterclasses led by her network of professionals to offer support in areas like resume writing, storytelling, and navigating adulthood. Ultimately, she hopes to connect this talent pool with corporate sponsors, recognizing the valuable skills and perspectives these individuals bring to the workforce. Chéla was inspired to start 1,000,000 Fosters by her desire to make a significant impact and by the powerful stories of connection and empowerment within the foster care community. A pivotal moment was an early podcast interview where a guest expressed the profound impact of sharing his story. This reinforced her belief in the importance of providing a platform for these voices and creating a sense of belonging. Despite the challenges of starting a nonprofit, including navigating the 501(c)(3) process, her determination and the encouragement from her advisors propelled her forward to create this much-needed support system. Actionable Allyship Takeaway: Actively seek out and support the talent within underserved communities. Chéla envisions creating a talent database to connect employers with individuals who have experienced foster care, highlighting the unique strengths and resilience of this group. Chéla puts out a call to action for businesses and organizations to become allies by tapping into the potential of often-overlooked populations. You can find Chéla and learn more about 1 Million Fosters online here: https://www.1millionfosters.com/ and you can find Julie Kratz at https://www.nextpivotpoint.com/

In this episode, I dive into an exciting and timely topic: how generative AI is becoming a powerful and innovative tool for boosting human motivation, unleashing creativity, and reducing the fear of failure. It explores how today's AI tools are not just for coders and tech-savvy professionals—they are emotional allies, collaborators, and motivators for anyone looking to innovate and express themselves. I offer a thought-provoking narrative that looks at the emotional side of creativity, seeking to make the case that the real value of generative AI lies not in replacing human effort, but in enhancing confidence, reducing creative blocks, and providing a safe, judgment-free space for people to try new ideas. Whether it's writing a song, designing a business plan, or simply exploring new ways of thinking, AI can act as a motivational partner, helping people take that crucial first step. One of the most compelling points made in this episode is that creativity doesn't always have to start with a blank page. Generative AI tools like ChatGPT, Copilot, and others can provide prompts, first drafts, and conceptual ideas that give people the courage to keep going. These tools "ignite the spark"—the initial momentum that's often the hardest part of any creative journey. The episode also discusses how AI reduces the fear of failure. Since the interaction happens privately on a screen, people are more willing to experiment, iterate, and take risks. This gives AI a surprising and powerful role as a personal motivator, one that doesn't judge or grade, but simply supports. I explore how this can have deep implications across all walks of life—from students and professionals to entrepreneurs and artists. Generative AI becomes not just a tool, but a trusted creative collaborator, always ready to listen and offer ideas, no matter the time of day. This episode is a must-listen for anyone feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or creatively blocked. If you're curious about how AI can be more than just a technical assistant, and instead become a source of emotional empowerment and creative liberation, this episode is for you. Tune in to discover how you can turn generative AI into your personal muse. If you have a comment about this podcast, feel free to drop me a line through the contact form at https://cooltimelife.com.

For Big Day of Giving today, our Executive Producer chose to highlight the nonprofit Fosters & Paws, a dog rescue which focuses mainly on pregnant or nursing mom dogs and underage puppies. Foster and Paws was started by Amanda Centella after fostering a dog and her puppies while she was working for Front Street. Amanda wanted to do things differently than normal shelters by not only giving the dogs in their care a forever home, but giving the adopters a forever community as well.

On this episode of the Arkansas Wildlife podcast, your host, Trey Reid, sits down with Arkansas Wildlife Magazine Editor Jeff Williams, and UCA Professor and Author Buckley T. Foster to talk about Fosters book "So Great Was the Slaughter" - Market Hunters, Sportsmen, and Wildlife Conservation in Arkansas.

HOSTS: Miranda Reiman and Mark McCully GUESTS: Scott and Andrew Foster At Seldom Rest Farms the business model is different than many: Angus youth are their main target demographic. Selling Angus show heifers across the United States allowed brothers Scott and Bruce Foster to bring the next generation back to the Michigan farm. Today Scott's son, Andrew, and his family are active in the day-to-day management of the nationally renowned operation. Phenotype matters, but having an end product is also important. Hear how they balance it all, the reason they're so invested in the next generation of Angus enthusiasts and why they believe opening their farm gates to beef marketers makes a real difference.  Scott Foster is a Niles, Mich., native and second generation Angus breeder. He and his siblings grew up on a row crop farm with a small herd of Angus show cattle, which first sparked his interest in the ring. Scott earned a degree in animal husbandry from Michigan State University, married his wife Elaine and raised their children, Andrew and Danielle, with a strong involvement in the National Junior Angus Association. Along with his brother, Bruce, Scott grew Seldom Rest Farm into a nationally recognized program, which has received many honors including 2023 Certified Angus Beef Ambassador of the Year and 2022 Master Breeder of the Year Award at the All-American Angus Breeders' Futurity show in Louisville.  Andrew Foster grew up in the National Junior Angus Association, serving as vice chairman of the National Junior Angus Association Board. After earning an animal science degree from Oklahoma State University, he returned to become a partner in Seldom Rest Farms. He was honored as the 2013 Herdsman of the Year and is a well-known cattle judge across the United States. He and his wife, Emily, are raising their three daughters in the lifestyle he grew up in.  SPONSOR: Deer Valley Farms invites you to their Spring Cow Sale on Saturday, May 10th, at 11 a.m. at the farm near Fayetteville, Tenn.  Several of the donor females have been huge contributors to their program — see what they can do for your herd!

Life doesn't always go as planned—and sometimes it hits like a tidal wave. In this deeply real and refreshingly honest conversation, Linda sits down with award-winning actress Teri Polo, best known for her unforgettable roles in Meet the Parents, The West Wing, and The Fosters. Teri opens up about the personal storms she's weathered, from the highs of Hollywood to the struggles no one sees—including her very real journey through financial hardship and filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. Teri also gives us a behind-the-scenes look at her newest film, "Relative Control," releasing April 11 on digital platforms. In it, she plays a powerhouse attorney juggling aging parents, a job in crisis, adult kids, and her own identity in the chaos. With humor, vulnerability, and grace, Teri shares the importance of embracing the mess, letting go of perfection, and finding resilience even when everything feels out of control. If you've ever felt overwhelmed by life's curveballs, this episode is a must-listen. Because sometimes, losing control is exactly what leads us to what really matters.

This Podcast Is Episode 623, And It's About The Art Of Giving And Receiving Constructive Criticism In Construction Think about the last time you gave or received feedback. Did it inspire growth and improvement or leave someone feeling deflated? When done right, constructive feedback is a powerful tool for driving success. But it's a fine line – getting it wrong can do more harm than good.   For business owners, managers, and team leaders, effectively giving and receiving constructive feedback isn't just a nice skill; it's a necessity. Feedback shapes stronger teams, builds trust, and moves companies forward.    In the construction industry, where projects are often complex and involve numerous stakeholders, giving and receiving constructive criticism is essential for success. Feedback can significantly impact safety, quality, and project timelines, making it crucial to foster a culture where constructive feedback is the norm rather than the exception.   Understanding Constructive Criticism Constructive criticism in construction focuses on performance, processes, and safety rather than personal attributes. It aims to highlight areas for improvement while providing actionable suggestions to enhance skills and procedures. This feedback cultivates a transparent work environment where team members feel empowered to address challenges without fear of personal confrontation. Constructive Feedback vs. Destructive Criticism Not all feedback is created equal. Constructive feedback is designed to promote growth. It's specific, actionable, and focuses on behavior or outcomes, not personal traits. Destructive criticism, on the other hand, often comes off as judgmental and unhelpful, targeting the person rather than the problem. Consider these examples: Constructive Criticism: I noticed a few inconsistencies in the framing of the last project. Let's review the measurements to improve them for the next build and ensure we're aligned. I believe this will help enhance the overall quality of the work and avoid any potential issues during inspections. Destructive Criticism: The framing on that last job was terrible. You need to get it right, or this line of work isn't for you. In the first example, the feedback focuses on improving the work and offers support, while the second example is judgmental and demoralizing, focusing solely on the individual's shortcomings. Constructive feedback opens the door to improvement, while destructive criticism shuts down. By aligning feedback with a growth mindset, businesses can foster trust, encourage professional development, and build an environment where individuals and teams thrive. Why Constructive Feedback Matters Great feedback isn't just about pointing out mistakes – it's a catalyst for growth. Here's how constructive feedback benefits construction businesses: Improves employee performance: Identifies strengths, weaknesses, and areas for improvement. Enhances team dynamics: Encourages open communication and collaboration. Builds trust and engagement: Employees feel valued when their growth is a priority. Fosters continuous learning: Positioned as a tool for development, feedback encourages individuals to keep improving. Drives business success: Growth at the individual level contributes directly to company goals. Employees need to know their work matters, and constructive feedback signals that their success is tied to the business. How to give constructive feedback effectively: Providing great feedback takes preparation, empathy, and a strategic approach. Here's a breakdown of how to deliver it successfully: 1. Choose the right time and place Deliver feedback privately where the person feels comfortable and safe to discuss openly. Avoid giving feedback in the heat of the moment; instead, allow emotions to settle so the conversation remains productive. 2. Be specific and focused Vague feedback like "You need to do better" isn't helpful. Instead, reference specific situations and actions. For example, say, "During yesterday's client call, I noticed some confusion about the project timeline. Preparing a detailed overview beforehand might help in future calls." 3. Use "I" statements Frame feedback with "I" statements to avoid sounding accusatory. For example: Instead of "You're always interrupting me," say, "I felt interrupted during our meeting, and it made it difficult for me to express my points." 4. Balance positives and negatives Use the feedback sandwich technique: Start with a positive comment. Address the area for improvement with actionable suggestions. End with encouragement. For example Positive Comment: The team did an excellent job with the safety protocols on the last project. Everyone was vigilant about wearing helmets and harnesses, which helped create a safe work environment. Area for Improvement: However, I noticed a few delays in material deliveries that could have been better managed. For future projects, let's improve our communication with suppliers to make sure everything gets on time, as this will help keep us on schedule. Encouragement: Overall, I'm really impressed with everyone's dedication. If we can tighten up the logistics of material deliveries, we'll see even greater success on our projects. Keep up the great work! This structure helps maintain morale while addressing areas for improvement, fostering a constructive atmosphere for the team. 5. Offer solutions and support Feedback shouldn't just point out issues – it needs to provide solutions. For instance, suggest additional training, offer to share the workload, or brainstorm ideas together. This shows a commitment to the person's growth. 6. Follow up Check in after the feedback conversation to see how the individual applies the advice. This shows that your feedback wasn't a one-off critique but part of an ongoing growth process. Receiving constructive feedback positively: Feedback is a two-way street. Learning to receive it with an open mind is just as crucial. Here's how to ensure you're extracting the most value from feedback: 1. Listen actively When receiving feedback, focus on understanding rather than responding. Avoid interrupting or dismissing the feedback outright. Instead, paraphrase to confirm understanding, e.g., "I'm hearing that I should work on communicating deadlines more thoroughly. Is that correct?" 2. Avoid defensiveness It can be tempting to explain away criticism, but doing so may make you seem resistant to growth. Accept feedback with humility and thank the individual for pointing out opportunities for improvement. 3. Reflect on the information Take time to process the feedback before acting on it. Ask yourself: What specific actions can I take to improve? Is there a pattern in the feedback I've received? How can I use this information to grow? 4. View feedback as an opportunity Having a growth mindset is key. Look at feedback not as criticism but as an investment in your potential. 5. Implement changes Feedback without action benefits no one. Develop a clear plan to address areas of improvement and track your progress. Building A Feedback-Positive Environment To truly unlock the power of feedback, create a culture where feedback is valued, sought after, and given freely. Here's how: To make feedback a regular part of your business culture, hold routine one-on-ones, team debriefs, or anonymous surveys. Celebrate employees who both give and act on constructive feedback. This reinforces its value and shows that it's a tool for growth, not punishment. When leaders seek and act on feedback, it sets the tone for the entire business. An open and transparent leadership style fosters a safe environment for feedback. Equip managers and team members with the skills to give and receive feedback effectively. Training in conflict resolution, active listening, and emotional intelligence can be game-changing. Final thoughts By prioritizing constructive criticism, the construction industry can improve individual performances and enhance overall project outcomes, ensuring that teams work more effectively together and that projects are completed safely and on time. Constructive feedback is more than a tool – it's a mindset. It encourages growth, builds trust, and empowers you to achieve your full potential. Whether you're delivering it to your team or receiving it from others, the key lies in empathy, clarity, and a focus on solutions. Here's your actionable takeaway: Start small. Use the strategies in this blog to have one meaningful feedback conversation this week. Observe the impact, refine your approach, and make feedback a regular part of your leadership toolkit. The benefits will cascade beyond your expectations – for your people and construction business.

In this episode of Quick Fire Friday, host Amanda Jones interviews Scott Ko of The Curiosity Mindset and explores how radical curiosity fuels innovation and business success. He shares strategies to balance creativity with operational efficiency and adapt systems for modern challenges. Scott emphasises questioning norms to stay relevant in a fast-changing market. His insights on leadership, innovation, and growth offer actionable advice for entrepreneurs. Discover how a mindset of curiosity can transform your approach to business. Dive into thought-provoking content and subscribe for fresh perspectives via Scott's Substack newsletter, a hub of powerful insights on business, leadership, education, systems-thinking, and personal growth.  Key Takeaways for Small Business Owners: Question Your Status Quo: Regularly ask why you do things the way you do. Put your business under the microscope with the classic 5 Whys. This practice can uncover outdated methods, inefficiencies, and create opportunities for innovation. Shorten Business Planning Cycles: Business lifecycles are drastically shortening. Trends can come and go within a quarter. Keep an eye on your destination, but hold your operational business planning lightly so you can adapt to change nimbly. This isn't about constantly redesigning your business; it's about a mindset that keeps you open to change. Before You Scale Your Business, Know Your Business: Scaling your business isn't just about 10x-ing your clients. If you don't understand how your business is put together and how it can adapt to growth, adding more clients can be a recipe for disaster; like adding jet fuel to a car engine. Understand your business and how it fits together, then you'll be ready to tackle growth in a genuine, sustainable way. Our hero crafts outstanding reviews following the experience of listening to our special guests. Are you the one we've been waiting for? Curiosity Will Be Your Competitive Edge: Curiosity isn't about asking more questions or just taking an interest in new things; it's an ongoing practice of thinking differently, of thinking better. Curiosity is about deeply understanding what you know, why, and how you integrate new information into your business. Businesses don't transform until leaders transform their thinking first.  Reassess Regularly And Holistically: Look at both your business and your people. Your business is nothing without your people, and your people work together because your business. So take time to check-in on both, to see if your efforts are aligned with your goals, ensuring they are both meaningful and sustainable for long-term success. One action small business owners can take: According to Scott Ko, one action small business owners should take is simply to question a key process in their business. Ask, "Why do we do it this way? Is it still effective or relevant?" Whenever you feel stuck, unclear, or frustrated, this simple act of curiosity can empower you to uncover opportunities for improvement and drive meaningful change.

"The feeling I hope people will have on this farm is that deep sense of safety and surrender. The feeling of being deeply nurtured and nourished. That feeling you get from visiting your great aunt or your grandmother. That one elderly female family member where you go when you just want to be deeply nourished and you feel completely at ease and safe. All your worries just sort of dissolve instantly.”We're in great company with Fleur and Nicole, partners in life and in profession who serendipitously found and meticulously stewarded Sterrekopje Farm in South Africa, a biodiverse farm and soulful sanctuary where curiosity blooms, creativity flourishes, and laughter is ever-present.Here, they have carefully curated a community of chefs, farmers, holistic practitioners, and artists to share, teach and connect with guests– in an environment where every ritual, every bite, every breath is a chance to celebrate the gifts of Mother Nature, from 'soil to soul'.In this episode, as we celebrate Women's History Month around the world, Nicole and Fleur share with us their serendipitous story, their thoughtful travel tastes, their everyday rituals—providing us with the fertile ground and nourishing energy we crave to pursue our own dreams and desires. Top Takeaways[1:45] A story of how two Dutch women, since early childhood, fell in love with travel to cultures beyond their familiar Western world and how a serendipitous flight became fate that would lead them on their next big adventure together. [6:30] How Nicole knew Sterrekopje Farm, ‘the bright star above the little mountain,' was the sanctuary she had been searching for—a beloved family farm dating back to the 17th century that once produced wine and olives and was in need of nurturing back to health. [10:15] Over the course of five years, Nicole and Fleur have grown alongside the farm itself—transforming monoculture into biodiversity, harvesting their first honey, and witnessing a beautiful season of abundance that extends beyond the land to the guests who visit—which today flourishes as a wild, fertile sanctuary.[13:20] Nicole reminds us all, “What is so important is to get people out of their heads and into their bodies because we're living so much in our heads these days. And to really connect with your body—that opens the ability to connect to other people, but also to yourself and to nature.”[16:50] Close your eyes and listen as Fleur transports us all to a day in the life at Sterrekopje Farm, painting a stunning picture with a palette of serene senses. [22:00] What some may call “a beautiful mess,” is intentionally a curated collection of fabrics and antiques from a multitude of cultures—creating not a standard hotel with sterile rooms, but a soulful place with personal sanctuaries.  [27:20] Discover what makes Sterrekopia a playground for adults to relearn the art of play—a place where curiosity and creativity blossom.[32:20] Here, ‘farm to table' tastes more like ‘soil to soul' as Nicole and Fleur invite their guests to satiate conscious indulgences and savor communal dining experiences.Notable Mentions Jennica Arazi of Marbella Club in SpainVisit For YourselfSterrekopje Farm Website | @sterrekopjefarm

With this question in mind, Lanco Medical Group, a small but fast-growing pharmaceutical distributor serving Latin America, designed their employee benefits and incentives program.

Priorities varied by age group, organizational role, and geographic locations. In this episode, HBS Professor Susanna Gallani discusses the case “Lanco Medical Group: Fostering Happiness for Growth” and the tensions between accommodating employees' preferences, maintaining fairness, and operating a manageable incentive program amid aggressive international growth targets.
