We love to talk about authenticity at work… right up until someone actually shows up as their full, messy, human self and makes everyone clutch their pearls. In this episode, we unpack what it really means to be yourself at work with Claude Silver — the world's first Chief Heart Officer at VaynerX and author of Be Yourself at Work: The Groundbreaking Power of Showing Up, Standing Out, and Leading from the Heart. We get into the difference between authentic presence vs. executive presence, why “that's just who I am” is usually “fear” in a cute outfit, and how to stop armoring up at work without turning every meeting into group therapy. We talk about perfectionism, people-pleasing, power dynamics, calling people in (instead of just calling them out), and what it actually costs you and your company when you leave the real you at home. If you've ever wondered how to bring your heart into a workplace that's still obsessed with your hustle, or how to belong without shrinking or pretending, this conversation is your permission slip to stop faking it and start leading from the heart. We Explore: What authenticity at work really means (and why it's not “I say whatever I want, whenever I want”) The difference between confidence and authenticity – and why you need both How Claude defines authentic presence and why “executive presence” is starting to feel outdated Perfectionism as a confidence derailer and how it quietly kills trust, connection, and creativity How to share your real life (kids, chaos, hard mornings) at work without oversharing or dumping Navigating power dynamics when a client, boss, or leader says something that goes against your values How to find “your people” at work Gen Z and Gen Alpha aren't being “difficult” — they're just done with workplaces that value performance over personhood. They expect companies to evolve, not the other way around. If leaders want to keep and motivate this generation, they need to ditch command-and-control and lead with humanity. Authenticity isn't a bonus anymore — it's the baseline. Thank you to our sponsors!

On this week's Extra Serving, NRN editor in chief Sam Oches and executive editor Alicia Kelso discuss the latest restaurant industry news, including Burger King's menu and marketing shifts, Gen Alpha's growing importance, and the latest data on fast-food and fast-casual traffic. First up is Burger King, which is rolling out a new campaign — including four new menu items — tied to the film “The SpongeBob Movie: The Search for Squarepants.” The brand also stated its intention to double down on beef where its competitors are pushing further into chicken. What to make of these moves? Sam and Alicia share their thoughts on Burger King's play for broader demographics and how it could signal a big evolution for the third-largest burger QSR chain. Speaking of demographics, Sam and Alicia next tackle Gen Alpha and how restaurant chains are making a play for their business with promotions tied to trends like “6-7.” Find out why it's never too soon to build a strategy for the next generation — but also why restaurant companies must be smart of how they connect with younger customers, particularly on digital platforms like social media. Finally, Sam and Alicia discuss new data that suggests quick-service and fast-casual traffic is expected to be slow for the next several months. How might chains react to this reality — and what can they do to differentiate in a “sea of sameness”?

In this episode of StreamTime Sports, CEO Nick Meacham is joined by Moe Hamdhaidari, Director of Content at Two Circles, to dive into the rapidly evolving ‘For You' economy. Moe breaks down how algorithm-driven discovery, shifting audience behaviours, and the rise of Gen Z and Gen Alpha are transforming the way sports organisations build content strategies. The discussion explores why sports continue to outperform entertainment, how rights holders can expand into new genres without inflating budgets, and what data-driven content models look like when executed well. Key Points:Why traditional content consumption is flattening while sports continue to grow.What the ‘For You' economy means for rights holders, and why content now needs to find fans.How sports organisations can double content output without increasing production spend.What “tripling your genres” looks like as culture, fashion and lifestyle become essential.Why YouTube is becoming the new TV, and how to build bespoke strategies for TikTok and other platforms.How Gen Z and Gen Alpha behaviours are shaping the next era of content consumption.

Dictionary.com announced that “6-7” has been selected as its Word of the Year, noting that the term gained rapid traction across social media as a shorthand used by Gen Z and Gen Alpha. According to the platform, the choice reflects how digital communication now favours ultra-compressed expressions, numerical codes, and context-dependent slang. The decision also highlights a broader linguistic trend: youth-driven internet language is evolving at a pace that challenges traditional reference tools and raises questions about whether dictionaries should document, guide, or adapt to these emerging forms. On The Big Story, Nadiah Koh speaks to Jeremiah Sng, Head of Language Arts and Lower Secondary, Academia, to unpack what “6-7” reveals about language today, how slang shapes the way young people communicate, and what this means for educators and students alike.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week Matt sits down with higher-ed leader Greg Brock for a thoughtful look at why so many Americans are facing significant loneliness. Greg unpacks his research on trust, generosity, and crisis leadership, and shares how simple human practices like eye contact, shared meals, and meaningful conversation have become rare in our tech-driven world. Greg traces the cultural shifts accelerated by COVID, smartphones, and changing social habits, exploring why loneliness has become a public health crisis affecting every generation.The conversation also highlights the huge opportunity this moment presents for the church. Greg explains why deep, embodied community—not perfect sermons or polished programming—is what people are longing for, and how habits of solitude, presence, and intentionality help us become the kind of people who can build that community well. Matt and Greg reflect on practical steps for pastors, parents, and leaders as they invest in Gen Z and Gen Alpha, and why showing up with curiosity and genuine interest may be the most transformational ministry practice we have.

In this episode, host Anjee Solanki sits down with Gregg Katz, Director of Business Industry Solutions for Real Estate at ESRI, to explore how “the science of where” is transforming retail decision-making. Gregg shares how the industry has evolved from basic demographics to rich layers of geospatial, psychographic, and mobility data, and why today's biggest advantage comes from translating that data into clear, actionable stories. They discuss the realities of AI in retail — what it can accelerate, what it can't replace, and why human insight and local market knowledge remain essential. Gregg also breaks down shifting generational influence, from the spending power of Boomers and Gen X to the rising impact of Gen Alpha, and what this means for future retail formats and experiences. The conversation wraps with a look at the “new retail math,” where market-level impact and brand influence are becoming more valuable than traditional KPIs. Listen to the full podcast below or on the following platform links: Spotify, Podcasters, Apple Podcasts, Pocket Casts, Google Podcasts and Amazon.

Jim sits down with tax strategist Nik Agharkar, for a conversation that starts with tax day anxiety and spirals into culture, capitalism, immigration, vo-tech, wealth inequality, and what it really means to build a healthy organization. Nik shares why he believes the tax code is an incentive system instead of a punishment, how leadership shapes culture, why Gen Z is choosing trades over college, and how America can rebuild its middle class by fixing the incentives we've quietly broken over the last 40 years. This episode is raw, political, personal, and surprisingly hopeful.Why this conversation mattersIf you lead a manufacturing team or run a business, your world is shaped by taxes whether you notice it or not. Nik lays out how incentives in the tax code ripple through hiring, layoffs, wages, infrastructure, and the decline of the American middle class. He explains why trades are rising again, why offshoring hollowed out capacity, and how culture starts with servant leadership rather than command-and-control. This is a rare conversation that connects factory floors, tax strategy, political history, and the lived experience of an immigrant family into one cohesive picture of where we are and what needs to change.What you'll hear• Why “every day is tax day” if you touch money• Jim's tax-induced heart palpitations versus Nik's calm love of paperwork• Nik's life-as-a-movie: middle school bullying, Jonah Hill, and learning to laugh at everything• His definition of culture built around ownership, servant leadership, and leading by example• Why rules for thee but not for me destroys culture — and what his HR-leader wife taught him about consistency• Growing up between America and India, and why the contrast taught him gratitude, discipline, and risk calculation• How scarcity abroad reframed what “risk” really means in America• Why going to college can be a bigger gamble than going into the trades• The surge of Gen Z and Gen Alpha entering the trades and rejecting the old college playbook• Offshoring, the collapse of vo-tech, and how we quietly kneecapped our own middle class• How tax cuts incentivized bad business, short-term hiring cycles, and underinvestment in people• The 1950s wealth distribution Americans still prefer — and how far we've drifted• Why wealth concentration is dangerous, not just unfair• The forgotten history of charitable foundations exploding when tax rates were high• How small businesses pay the price because they don't have tax departments• Why a kid would be better off buying a Haas machine and starting a job shop than taking on six-figure student debt• The infrastructure crisis — and why we're not ready to bring manufacturing back onshore• Politics, social media, and how outrage culture destroyed our ability to talk to one another• Why Americans should be critical of every administration, not cheerleaders for a team• The simple fixes: higher corporate taxes, better incentives for small business, and fully funded vo-tech• Nik's parting message about being better to each other and limiting social media for your own sanityNik's takeWe've got to stop dividing ourselves and start thinking clearly again. Limit your social media. Be better to your neighbor. And stop cheering for politicians — they work for you.Jim's takeThere aren't many people who can connect tax code, culture, and the collapse of the middle class and make it interesting, but Nik does it. This one goes way off the rails in the best way.

A new national survey shows many teens don't trust the news. It found, for example, many underestimate how often journalists follow ethical standards and overestimate how often newsrooms make things up.   Today's guest is Peter Adams from the News Literacy Project. He explains what the data really shows, why young people may be so skeptical, and how to tell credible reporting from everything else online.   We also talk about AI's impact on the information landscape, and why recognizing good journalism matters just as much as spotting misleading content.   Plus: what gives him hope about Gen Z and Gen Alpha, and what all of us can do to help strengthen trustworthy news in our communities.     Learn more about our guest(s): https://www.theNewsWorthy.com/shownotes Join us again for our 10-minute daily news roundups every Mon-Fri!  Become an INSIDER and get ad-free episodes here: https://www.theNewsWorthy.com/insider Get The NewsWorthy MERCH here: https://www.theNewsWorthy.com/merch Sponsors: Go to Quince.com/newsworthy for free shipping on your order and 365-day returns.

You're listening to Burnt Toast! I'm Virginia Sole-Smith. You're listening to Burnt Toast. I'm Virginia Sole-Smith. Today, my conversation is with Kaila Yu. Kaila is an author based in Los Angeles. Her debut memoir, Fetishized: A Reckoning with Yellow Fever, Feminism, and Beauty, came out earlier this fall to a rave review in The New York Times. She's also a luxury travel and culture writer with bylines in The New York Times, Rolling Stone, The LA Times, Condé Nast Traveler and many more. Kaila's memoir grapples with her experience growing up Asian and female in a world that has so many stereotypes and expectations about both those things. We talk about the pressure to perform so many different kinds of specific beauty labor, the experience of being objectified sexually —and we really get into how we all navigate the dual reality of hating beauty standards and often feeling safer and happier complying with them. I learned so much from this book, and this conversation with Kaila.

But the ever directionally challenged Allen got them lost on the way there.  In #NotAnAd, Allen discovered his favorite new snack, which led to another raccoonish moment in the kitchen…….and the potential to make some money?
