Send us a text Even the most experienced leaders have one thing in common: they're not seeing the full picture. In this episode, psychologist, executive coach, and former CEO Martin Dubin joins FUTUREPROOF. to talk about the hidden habits and patterns that quietly derail careers and businesses.Drawing from his new book Blindspotting, Martin reveals the six types of leadership blindspots, why your greatest strength might be your biggest liability, and how to stop projecting old patterns onto new problems. Whether you're leading a Fortune 500 team or trying to level up personally, this conversation is about developing the awareness you didn't know you needed.Topics Discussed:The six most common leadership blindspots—and how to identify themWhy high performers often stumble at the topThe danger of “overused strengths” and unchecked habitsHow your identity and internal stories shape your leadership lensWhat leaders can learn from therapists (and vice versa)How to create a feedback loop that doesn't sugarcoat realityWhat only CEOs can—and should—doPractical tools for improving self-awareness without getting stuck in self-doubtResources:Blindspotting: How to See What's Holding You Back as a Leader MartinDubin.com

Future Proof, which holds one of the industry's largest wealth conferences, invited me to hold a live podcast earlier this year with Blue Owl Co-President and Global Head of Real Assets Marc Zahr. Marc is a pioneer in the real estate space, building Blue Owl into a market leader in the triple net lease strategy, a commercial real estate investment strategy that is becoming increasingly popular for real estate investors, tenants (think large corporates like Amazon, Walgreens, Dollar General), and investors alike.Blue Owl's Real Assets business has over $67.1B AUM, owning over 5,600 assets and partnering with over 800 tenants. Marc founded Oak Street, the predecessor firm to Blue Owl, in 2009 with $17M AUM. Listening to Marc talk about the evolution of his career, building Oak Street, and running Blue Owl's Real Assets platform, it's no surprise to see why Marc and the firm have had success. His “myopic focus … perfecting his craft,” as he discussed in our conversation, his clarity of vision, and his ability to so clearly articulate his investment strategy and market opportunity have led to tremendous success for Oak Street, and now, Blue Owl.Marc and I had a fascinating and thought-provoking discussion that covered everything from the evolution of his firm, how and why he sold Oak Street to Blue Owl, the market opportunity in triple net lease real estate investing, why data center investing is a large market opportunity, how to build a high-performing investment culture, and much more.We discussed:The story of how Marc built Oak Street from a $17M real estate investment firm and grew it into Blue Owl's $67B AUM Real Assets platform.Breaking down the triple net lease real estate investment strategy.Why the industry “isn't even in the first inning” in the $20T addressable market in triple net lease real estate investing.Why data centers are a “once in a generation opportunity” due to capex supply / demand imbalance.How a bigger platform can help an asset manager scale its business.Why an evergreen structure can make sense and the story of how Blue Owl did so well with its triple net lease product on a private wealth platform that the private bank created their own product.The hardest part of educating the wealth channel on real estate and evergreen structures.Why private wealth is the biggest opportunity in the future. The advice Marc would give to someone trying to build the next great asset manager.Thanks Marc for sharing your wisdom, expertise, and thoughtful and nuanced perspectives on private markets and real estate.

In this episode of The Entrepreneurial You, host Heneka Watkis-Porter sits down with Lee Stewart, a globally recognised sustainability strategist, educator, and author of How to Build Sustainability into Your Business Strategy. Lee shares how sustainability has evolved from a buzzword into a core business imperative—one that directly impacts profitability, brand value, and long-term growth. Drawing from two decades of hands-on experience, Lee offers actionable insights on embedding sustainability into company culture and strategy. Demystifying Sustainability and Driving Real Impact Heneka and Lee unpack the misconceptions surrounding sustainability—like the idea that a single policy or small team is enough. Lee challenges this notion by stressing that sustainability must be woven into the fabric of an organisation, not treated as a side initiative. He defines sustainability simply: leaving the world better than you found it. Businesses, he says, must stop harmful practices, reduce waste, and create more resilient, value-driven operations. Empowering Change Through Strategy and Community Heneka highlights ongoing leadership events focused on values-driven entrepreneurship, and encourages listeners to embrace sustainability not just as a goal—but as a way of thinking. As the episode closes, Lee invites business owners to subscribe to his newsletter and enter a giveaway for a signed copy of his book. He reminds us that sustainability isn't a destination, but a journey that strengthens business, people, and the planet. What You'll Learn in This Episode: • Why sustainability is a long-term business advantage, not just a trend • How to identify and overcome common sustainability misconceptions • How SMEs can align with the sustainability goals of larger customers • Where to find high-quality, free sustainability education • Why leadership consistency matters in sustainability strategy • How to build momentum through small wins and clear goals • Why curiosity and adaptability are key to future-proofing your business COMMUNITY CONNECTION: Don't forget about the upcoming LeadHerShip Cruise, where leaders like YOU can network and grow aboard Royal Caribbean's Liberty of the Seas!

You've felt it, haven't you? That creeping realization that the therapy world you trained for is disappearing faster than you can adapt.Maybe you've watched TikTok "healers" with zero qualifications book out $2000 programs while you're drowning in twelve-month waitlists and Medicare paperwork.Maybe you've seen colleagues burn out, leave the profession, or settle for jobs that barely pay the bills—despite having skills that could transform lives at scale.What if I told you that staying in your lane isn't protecting your career—it's limiting it?While we follow every rule and stay perfectly compliant, the world around us is shifting at lightning speed. But here's what I know: you don't have to watch from the sidelines while everything changes around you.In this episode, I reveal:Why your clinical training is actually your innovation advantage (not a business liability)The identity shift from "just a therapist" to therapeutic innovator that unlocks new possibilitiesHow one OT went from maternity leave panic to earning more than her clinic job in 6 monthsThe 20% rule that creates revenue resilience without abandoning your clinical workReal math: how a simple 4-week group program can generate $8K annually in additional incomeThe ethical visibility framework that gets you found without getting you in trouble with registration boardsThe three-sentence future bio exercise that clarifies your next-level positioningMicro-actions you can implement this week (not someday when you have more time)Bottom Line: The difference between therapists who thrive in the next decade and those who get left behind isn't clinical skills—we've all got those. It's the willingness to evolve your identity, diversify your revenue, and show up visibly in service of the people who need your help.

Episode SummaryIn this episode of OnBase, host Chris Moody sits down with Mark Boothe to explore how AI agents are reshaping the future of marketing. Mark brings candid insights from his tenure at Domo, diving into the transformative potential of agentic workflows, the necessity of AI readiness, and how marketers can navigate both disruption and opportunity.Mark shares practical advice on leveraging agents as "tireless teammates" for joyless, repetitive tasks, enhancing competitive intelligence, scaling content creation, and making smarter, faster decisions across go-to-market functions. He also reflects on challenges CMOs face today—from attribution complexity to shifting SEO dynamics—and explains why waiting to adopt AI is the riskiest move of all.This conversation is a must-listen for B2B marketers, CMOs, and business leaders looking to scale with purpose and intelligence in the age of autonomous agents.Key TakeawaysAI Agents Are Here—and You're Already Late  Mark emphasizes that CMOs can no longer afford to delay AI adoption. Organizations that do not actively experiment with agents risk falling irreparably behind in terms of go-to-market maturity and innovation.Tireless Teammates, Not Job Takers  AI agents are best positioned to automate the joyless, manual tasks humans hate. With proper training and data, they can deliver superhuman memory, adaptability, and task execution across industries.Data Readiness Is Make or Break  The phrase "garbage in, garbage out" rings true—Mark stresses that AI without structured, contextualized, and governed data is not just ineffective, but dangerous.Align AI with Enterprise Goals  AI efforts must be anchored in clear business priorities, not shiny objects. Mark warns against focusing solely on vanity metrics and stresses the importance of tying every initiative back to pipeline, revenue, and customer value.Don't Just Automate—Adapt  Traditional automation is static. AI agents enable adaptability—responding to market shifts, customer signals, and business changes in real-time with minimal human input.Quotes“AI agents should make you way smarter, faster, and more adaptable—if you're aligned with the right goals.”Resource recommendations⁠Jasper⁠ – For scalable content generation.⁠Domo⁠ – For real-time marketing analytics and agent orchestration.Resource recommendationsBooks:⁠How to Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie⁠ – Timeless lessons in people-first leadership.⁠Dare to Lead by Brené Brown⁠ – Currently being read by Mark's team book club for fostering courageous leadership.⁠Patrick Lencioni's books⁠ – Especially on team dynamics and healthy conflict.B2B Leaders to follow⁠Denise Persson⁠, CMO of Snowflake, for leading high-impact B2B marketing.About the GuestMark brings over 15 years of diverse marketing experience and is passionate about driving Domo's business growth through marketing initiatives.

AI is transforming the world of work at speed—but with great potential comes a need for clarity, accountability, and smart, human-centred decisions. That's why we developed the TRUSTED AI framework at LACE Partners: a practical, values-led model to help organisations adopt AI in ways that are responsible, secure, and truly useful. In this episode of the HR on the Offensive podcast, Chris Howard sits down with LACE AI experts Martin Colyer and Charlie Frost to unpack the framework and what it means for forward-thinking HR teams wanting to trust in AI. Introducing the TRUSTED AI Framework We've also published two companion blogs that go deeper into each element of the model—but here's a quick guide to what TRUSTED stands for: T — Technology Make sure your AI tools and infrastructure match the needs of your people and business—not the other way around. R — Regulation Stay compliant with evolving laws and ethical expectations. Responsible AI starts with knowing the rules. U — Usability If AI isn't intuitive, it won't get used. Prioritise design that blends seamlessly into everyday workflows. S — Security Keep systems and data safe. Robust protection is essential when dealing with sensitive HR information. T — Transparency Build trust by making it clear how AI decisions are made, and how tools are trained and evaluated. E — Ethics AI must be fair and accountable. Bias and unintended consequences must be actively addressed—not left to chance. D — Data High-quality, well-governed data is the fuel for reliable AI. Without it, everything else breaks down.

What does it take to build AI systems that are private by design—and ready for tomorrow's regulations?In this episode, I'm joined by Rishabh Poddar, CTO and Co-founder of Opaque Systems, to explore how data privacy, compliance, and AI innovation intersect in a rapidly evolving landscape. Rishabh breaks down the impact of emerging privacy laws, the risks with agentic AI systems, and why building cryptographic guarantees into the foundation of your AI stack isn't optional—it's essential.Whether you're deploying AI at scale or just experimenting, this conversation will challenge how you think about trust, governance, and the future of responsible AI.

From the rise of agentic AI and retail media networks to the evolving role of conversational commerce, the retail ecosystem has transformed in the last few years, opening new opportunities for brand marketers. In this special edition of Future Proof, Wayne Levings, Kantar's Global Chief Client Officer sits down with Keith Mercier, Vice President of the Worldwide Retail and Consumer Goods Industry at Microsoft. Microsoft is helping brands and retailers stay resilient, agile, and future-ready, all with the help of AI. Whether you're a CMO, brand strategist, or just curious about the future of retail, this episode is packed with insights on how to lead through change and build what's next.

Futureproof Clare (FPC), a grassroots environmental group active in Clare and the Shannon region, recently made a submission to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to object to the renewal of the Aughinish Alumina (AAL) dredging and dumping at sea licence.

The 10-year dredging and dumping at sea licence was granted by the EPA despite local objections from individuals and groups expressing concerns for the wellbeing of the Shannon Estuary. For more on this, Alan Morrissey was joined by Sinéad Sheehan, campaigner with Futureproof Clare.

“I want to create something which fit that space and would help those people... to future-proof themselves.” James Culmer-Shields   James Culmer-Shields and I recently sat down at my kitchen table and talked about something that touches all of us: how we stay well enough as we age to live the lives we want to live. James has spent decades in the world of fitness - from his time in the military training to personal coaching to founding The Athlete Centre. Now, he's turning his attention to something broader: how we can all live longer, healthier lives in ways that feel realistic, not overwhelming. “Let's help the people who are sat at home… who are saying, ‘I know I need to do something. But what?'” This episode isn't about elite training or hacks. It's about practical ways to feel stronger, more capable and more connected to our bodies as we age. We talk about: James motivation to make longevity accessible to people who don't have a science degree or listen to longevity experts. What future-proofing your health might look like in your 40s, 50s, 60s and beyond The importance of designing support for those who want to move more, but don't know where to start This isn't a how-to guide. It's a thoughtful chat about what health and longevity can mean for you - for now and for the longer-term.    James Culmer-Shields gained invaluable insight into the high-performance world, learning what it takes to optimise the body for peak results and performance after years of working alongside professional athletes and media stars. In 2003 he established The Athlete Centre, an innovative Strength and Conditioning facility in Oxford. Turning 40 - James realised that there's more to training than just achieving physical goals or maintaining an aesthetic. It became clear that the way we approach fitness needs to evolve, particularly as we age.

In a time when short-term fundraising feels relentless, planned giving offers something rare: stability.Planned giving often seems like a strategy reserved for large institutions or a distant concern for smaller nonprofits. However, Tony Martignetti, the Planned Giving evangelist, and host of Tony Martignetti Nonprofit Radio podcast, argues that it's a crucial tool for organizations of all sizes seeking long-term financial resilience.With nearly three decades of experience and having assisted clients in raising more than $150 million through planned gifts , Tony brings a wealth of knowledge to demystify planned giving. He emphasizes that initiating a planned giving program doesn't require a massive budget or a team of experts. Instead, it's about building genuine relationships, understanding donor motivations and correctly focusing your program.In this episode, Tony shares practical steps for small and mid-sized nonprofits to embark on planned giving, discusses common misconceptions, and highlights how such programs can provide financial sustainability amidst economic challenges.Topics We Cover:The relevance of planned giving in today's nonprofit landscapeDebunking myths: Making planned giving accessible for all organizationsEffective communication strategies for discussing legacy giftsIdentifying and engaging potential planned giving donorsSteps to initiate or rejuvenate a planned giving programThe role of planned giving in ensuring long-term organizational sustainability

We recently got an email in from a listener to the show about a topic they thought we should cover, and we'd encourage you to get in touch too if there is something you'd like to learn more about – science@newstalk.com. The email was from Dr John Regan, the Royal Society - SFI University Research Fellow in the Department of Theoretical Physics at Maynooth University.He said: “One of the postdocs in my group recently published a paper on Primordial Black Holes left over from the Big Bang being possible ‘seeds' for super massive black holes. The JWST (James Webb Space Telescope) has, over the last two-three years, been discovering way more and way more massive black holes than was expected.In short, the results from the very early Universe being returned from JWST are both puzzling and electrifying. Primordial black holes may explain some of these results (as well as possibly being a candidate for dark matter)! I think this would be a very cool topic for Futureproof. I would be delighted to discuss these results and perhaps also provide some context to what JWST is seeing and why it is so exciting.”Dr John joins us on the show.

Kristin Kay of Manhattan Associates talks about their Active TMS, continuous innovation & automated testing, & why transportation is more complex than ever. IN THIS EPISODE WE DISCUSS:   [04.20] An introduction to Kristin, and Manhattan Associates. “We don't view supply chain as a cost center – it can be a competitive advantage, if you start to remove some of the siloes between your solutions.” [06.18] The biggest impacts on the transportation industry right now, and why the industry is more complex than ever before. “It's a whirlwind! We have a lot of different things coming into play. Macro economic shifts, sky high customer expectations, pressure to hit sustainability targets… Depending on the industry, the days of just managing your transportation are gone.” [09.17] Why Transportation Management Systems often come with their own set of problems, and the biggest TMS challenges Manhattan see with their customers. “Whatever challenge comes up, sometimes that challenge isn't the biggest problem. The problem is how inflexible either your systems or operations are. If they're inflexible, you don't have options.” “The burden of maintaining integrations between all of these systems takes a lot of time. We find that teams are spending more time managing their systems and TMS than managing their freight. And that can be a red flag wherever you have volatility.” “As things change, your pendulum swings between ‘I really need to save money' to ‘I really need to give service to customers'… But there is an answer between speed and cost, and we need to be able to react to that.” [12.58] What connectivity and integration speed and ease looks like with Manhattan's Active TMS, and the impact on key focus areas like visibility, collaboration and flexibility. “Transportation is a team sport… And that connectivity is the heartbeat of agility.” “If you're going to do any software implementation, decide: ‘What are my key KPIs, how do I know what's right, how do I build that confidence?' So that when I turn that switch on, I'm getting those benefits – not just creating more questions.” [16.57] Manual versus automated testing, how automated testing works with Manhattan, and the business benefits of continuous validation and accelerated deployments. [19.37] How automated testing can help to reduce risk and allow businesses to make informed, data-driven decisions in a climate filled with risk and unexpected disruption. [23.34] The importance of communication and transparency, the power of partnership, and how customer-driven enhancements make Manhattan's Active Transportation Management unique. “True innovation can't happen in isolation, it happens through partnership.” “It really comes down to the end user experience. If that's bad, it doesn't matter how good your integration is, or how great your reporting is, or how fast you can change. If people don't like using the product, you're going to have trouble.” [27.29] Why scalability means more than just scaling up or down, and how continuous innovation helps businesses with future-proofing, allowing them to stay ahead of the game without having to constantly overhaul systems. [32.24] What Manhattan's synchronization of operations and end-to-end unification mean for teams and businesses. [35.59] A case study exploring how Manhattan helped a grocery client shift their mindset, unify, embrace dynamic planning and unlock big benefits. [40.08] What we can expect from Manhattan in the second half of 2025.   RESOURCES AND LINKS MENTIONED:   Head over to Manhattan Associate's website now to find out more and discover how they could help you too.

Step inside a real-world example of legal innovation as two Lawyerist Lab members, Rachel Allums and Allison Harrison, reveal how they partnered to create Safe Sendoff, a new company addressing common legal needs for young adults.   Rachel and Allison identified a need for legal documents like powers of attorney and HIPAA releases when young people turn 18. They decided to join forces, sharing costs and leveraging their individual firm experiences to develop a product that serves both young adults and their parents. Beyond providing crucial legal forms, Safe Sendoff also includes an "Adulting 101" course, which educates young people on the responsibilities and rights that come with turning 18, covering topics from employment rules to filing taxes.  Their discussion highlights a new service delivery model offering automated, cost-effective solutions. Rachel and Allison share how their experience running their individual law firms informed their approach to building Safe Sendoff, allowing them to expedite the process of defining their purpose, vision, and ideal client. They also emphasize the benefits of working with a shared coach through Lawyerist Lab, which helped keep them on track. You'll learn about their commitment to transparent, upfront pricing and their focus on delivering valuable legal support through recorded explanations and automated processes, making high-quality legal information accessible at a fraction of the cost.  If this discussion sparks questions about optimizing your firm's operations or identifying new opportunities, consider exploring the "free small firm scorecard" at lawyerist.com/scorecard.

We've all had the experience of working for a bad leader, the kind that drains your energy, stifles your motivation, and makes Monday mornings feel like a dreadful chore. But great leaders do the opposite. And in a world evolving faster than ever, we can't afford to leave leadership to chance. In today's Leadership Spark, we'll tackle two big questions: Will the leader of 2030 be different from today's leader? And if so, how? Backed by insights from 140+ CEO interviews and a global LinkedIn survey of nearly 14,000 employees, I share the timeless traits leaders must keep, and the new skills they must develop to lead in a rapidly changing world. Get a clearer understanding of what leadership really means, why most people can't define it, and what it will take to lead organizations, and society, into the future. ________________ This episode is sponsored by Workhuman.

What if one of the keys to sustaining high performance wasn't just about going harder, but learning how to recover smarter—and move better—every single day?This week, we're pulling one from the Finding Mastery Vaults. It's a conversation I had with Dr. Kelly Starrett—performance coach to some of the world's top athletes, Olympians, elite military personnel, and corporations, bestselling author of Built to Move, and co-founder of The Ready State.We originally recorded this in the summer of ‘23 back in our old Mastery Lab studio—but in a time when burnout, physical stagnation, and chronic stress are on the rise, it feels even more relevant now. Kelly's work bridges the gap between elite performance and everyday movement, helping us all move, feel, and live better.As you listen, notice how Kelly reframes recovery and mobility as essential daily habits, not extras—and think about the “session costs” in your own life. Are your small behaviors helping you feel ready for the demands of your day… or adding to the strain? Let's jump into this epic episode from the Finding Mastery vault with Dr. Kelly Starrett.__________________For more on Dr. Kelly Starrett go to https://thereadystate.com/starrett-system/__________________Subscribe to our Youtube Channel for more powerful conversations at the intersection of high performance, leadership, and meaning: https://www.youtube.com/c/FindingMasteryGet exclusive discounts and support our amazing sponsors!
