Leslie Grandy always wanted to be 'creative', but after discovering that she 'sucked' as a child at piano, painting, drama, dancing and so on she decided (to the relief of her teachers) that it simply wasn't for her.  Until she realized, in her corporate career working with visionary leaders like Steve Jobs, that creativity can also be defined as 'the ability to solve problems in novel ways'. And now she helps organizations - from major brands like Starbucks to early-stage ventures - navigate the challenges of innovation. Creativity, it turns out, is not an inbuilt talent reserved for the select few, but a practical skill that anyone can develop with the right mindset and tools. And that's exactly what she provides in her book Creative Velocity: simple, everyday techniques for building creative confidence. She also tackles the role of generative AI, inviting us to see it as a partner that can expand our creative thinking, provided we bring structure and discernment to the process. Leslie also discovered she could have filled a book with what she didn't know about publishing a book, and shares her insights from that journey too.  Funny, inspiring, practical, unmissable. 

München, London, Kopenhagen, Trondheim und Berlin – das sind einige Stationen auf dem Lebensweg unseres heutigen Gastes. Nun mag Laura Grandy in dessen Verlauf nicht, wie einst als Fünfjährige erträumt, "ein(e) Komponist(in) wie ihr Idol Frédéric Chopin" geworden sein. Stattdessen aber, und das ist vielleicht sogar noch besser, ist sie heute eine Singer-Songwriterin wie, nun ja: wie Laura Grandy eben. Anders ausgedrückt: Sie hat ihre ganz eigene, besondere musikalische Stimme gefunden. Als überzeugender Beleg dafür dient ihr im November 2024 nach einigen Singles veröffentlichtes Debütalbum "All These Feelings", auf dem sie – ganz dem Titel entsprechend – eine große Bandbreite an Gefühlen in liebevoll arrangierte Pop-Songs übersetzt. Mal selbstbewusst-beschwingt, mal melancholisch-getragen, mal irgendwo dazwischen; meist mit einer jazzigen Note veredelt und stets von Lauras seelenvollem Gesang gekrönt. Am 4. Mai wird sie in der Rhinoçéros Bar im Prenzlauer Berg ein Konzert geben, heute besucht sie uns im studioeins, um im Interview und natürlich mit dem ein oder anderen live gespielten Song darauf einzustimmen.

Is the traditional approach to innovation actually creating more friction than breakthrough ideas?Join hosts Chuck Moxley and Nick Paladino as they talk with Leslie Grandy, a digital innovation expert with experience at Amazon, Best Buy, and T-Mobile. Leslie shares why innovation labs often fail, creating two classes of employees and alienating those outside the "creative zone." Drawing from her soon-to-be-released book "Creative Velocity," she explains how viewing failure as a learning opportunity rather than a setback is essential for fostering creativity across organizations.Leslie reveals how an innovation lab's picture frame project at T-Mobile could have sold 10 times more units if operational teams had been brought into the creative process earlier. She explores how lawyers and finance people can be some of the most creative problem solvers when given the right framework and why the biggest myth in business is that creativity is limited to certain roles or departments.Main Takeaways from this episode:Democratize innovation — Innovation labs often create artificial divisions between "creative" and "operational" employees, when creativity should be cultivated across the entire organization.Reframe failure as learning — Successful creative thinkers see failure not as a loss but as a necessary ingredient for innovation and an opportunity to discover what doesn't work.Use generative AI as a creative partner — AI can help explore unconventional combinations and solutions when used with structured creative frameworks, expanding your thinking beyond established patterns.Want more tips and strategies to create frictionless user experiences?

Life in the Peloton is proudly brought to you by MAAP You can also watch this episode over on my YouTube channel here! The chaos of the Cobbled Classics is over for another season. From Omloop, through E3 and Wevelgem, Flanders, and then the big one - Paris Roubaix; these are the biggest and best races on the calendar for me, so I was super excited to sit down with Tom Southam and Luke Durbridge to break down this year's edition of Paris Roubaix in this month's Race Communique. This year's Roubaix was an absolute cracker; totally flat out from the gun. Even before Arenberg - where the race used to really kick off back in my day - the bunch was strung out and the real favourites were taking huge chunks out of each other. Tom, Luke, and I run through the riders that really made this race such an epic edition. Of course, it was dominated by Mathieu Van Der Poel on his way to his third victory in a row, but what about Pogačar?! His first go at Roubaix and he's up there rubbing shoulders with the big boys, and I literally mean the big boys; he's ten kilos lighter than most of these guys! Southam made a good point actually; is he going to be carrying some extra timber into the Ardennes that kick off next week? Of course, we also had the women's race the day before. That's something I love about Roubaix; the men's and women's races being on different days means we get a whole weekend of Paris-Roubaix action! What a cool race, with absolute legend Pauline Ferrand-Prévot putting her immense off-road skills to use to become the first French rider to list that big cobblestone since Frédéric Guesdon in 1997. I absolutely loved to see the GOAT herself; Marianne Vos, riding in support of her Visma LAB team mate; for me, that's what makes her a true champion. Obviously, there's been other races going on aside from the cobbled classics. We wanted to talk briefly about the Tour of the Basque country, and for good reason; after a few years in the wilderness, Caleb Ewan is winning at the highest level again. What a move that transfer to Ineos turned out to be! It's so cool to see Caleb getting his hands in the air again, and I think it represents a real shift in mentality at Ineos - who have been looking a bit lost for a few seasons now.  Southam was actually down in the Basque country in the car for EF Pro cycling - who knocked out a stage win with young Ben Healy - so he gives us a quick breakdown of the race in this week's Talking Tactics. Healy's win came after a ridiculous 57km solo move, so this month Tom's talking about the art of the solo breakaway. We see these long range attacks sticking more and more these days; with everyone aero optimised and more and more data and information being fed to riders. Southam compared his view from the car to being behind a rider in a TT, and being able to feed him really accurate cues about the course ahead played a huge part in Healy's win.  Poor old Durbo got a bit cut off in this month's Pelo Chat, so we rolled it in ahead of the Communi-Quiz! Durbo wanted to talk about race programmes, and how the teams decide who's racing where. Of course, the Spring Classics is a savage block of racing; and plenty of riders don't make it all the way to the end owing to sickness or injury, which creates plenty of headaches for team directors trying to pull together squads at short notice.  As always, we wrapped up with the Communi-Quiz. Hosted by Durbo, it's a Roubaix themed ‘Who Am I?'. I've won a stage and the overall at the Tour of Beijing and Paris Roubaix - who am I?.....you'll have to listen to this month's Race Communique to find out. Well, guys, that's the Cobbled Classics done and dusted. The Ardennes are about to kick off to round out a monster Spring of racing which can mean only one thing; the next time I sit down to talk to Southam and Durbo will be in May just before the first Grandy of the year; The Giro d'Italia.  The Race Communiqué is brought to you by TrainingPeaks!

In this episode of Beyond the Tech (Solo Edition), Bryan sits down with Leslie Grandy - author of Creative Velocity and former executive at Apple, T-Mobile, Best Buy, and Amazon - for an in-depth conversation about her Product Playbook for navigating ambiguity and driving transformation. Tune in for insights from one of the industry's most experienced change-makers!Leslie dives into her journey, beginning with her early passion for the arts, which led her to the film industry and, later, high-impact roles at companies like T-Mobile, Apple, and Best Buy.The conversation explores her work today as a “CEO whisperer,” helping both startups and established brands align customer insights with business strategy for enduring impact. Whether navigating uncharted waters or structuring frameworks for large-scale change, Leslie's story is one of resilience, creativity, and leadership in the face of complexity.Throughout the conversation, she reflects on how she used her background in the film industry to apply creative problem-solving approaches in corporate environments where ambiguity and change were often met with resistance. Leslie shares insights into leading teams through transformation by fostering a culture of innovation and adaptability, even in traditional corporate settings. She also emphasises the importance of embracing ambiguity as a tool for growth, especially when guiding organisations through digital and cultural shifts. Leslie also discusses her upcoming book, Creative Velocity (coming May 2025), which redefines creativity as an accessible skill rather than an innate talent.

Today on the podcast, we talk with Rebecca Grandy, Directory of Pharmacy at CHESS Health Solutions, about the connection between diabetes and chronic kidney disease, the populations who are at risk, how to address any concerns, and what tests and interventions are available to the provider. OK, so, Rebecca Grandy, welcome to the move to Value podcast. Could you start by explaining the connection between diabetes and chronic kidney disease and why it's so important to screen for these in diabetic and or for chronic kidney disease in diabetic patients?Sure. You know, diabetes is one of the leading causes of chronic kidney disease. I think there's lots of reasons for that. A lack of early screening, a lack of just knowing what to do, having accessible medicines. But all of those things now we have relatively good screenings, we have medications and so kidney disease and diabetes is present preventable. And then just from a, you know disease, state perspective, diabetes itself, the high glucoses, the inflammation on the high blood pressure, obesity, all of those things also increase your risk for chronic kidney disease and so you'll see a strong correlation between those two.And you know, it's also proven that minorities are disproportionately affected by chronic kidney disease and what steps do you think can be taken to address that as we start looking into our social determinants and our HealthEquity components of the quintuple aim?Wow, that's sort of a can of worms type of question, right? Because you know, when I think about minority populations or even just disparities in healthcare, I think there are lots of reasons for those. One is access and so primary care I think is the solution for that. And so being able to solve access issues to primary care, there are also issues like social determinants of health issues and so thinking through a lot of the work that ACOs are doing, like the REACH model, care coordination, social work, really being able to not only screen for social determinants of health, but to actually have solutions for those. And so I think that's happening slowly. You know, those screenings are starting to be incorporated into primary care, but if we can address some of those issues, I think we can solve access issues. The harder one in my mind to solve is sort of the historical like trauma and distrust that comes with minorities in the healthcare system. That one's harder, but I think. I think you know having minorities go into positions where they are providers, right? So I can see someone who culturally is like me, who looks like me, who I know has my best interest at heart. I think a lot of those pipelines for minorities to be healthcare providers, are really helpful as well.Yeah, I think that's definitely true. So some of our data at CHESS shows that you know up to 40% of people with diabetes do develop chronic kidney disease. Can you explain why early screening is so critical and how it impacts the progression of that disease?And I feel like I have to tell a story first. So, you know, when I was working in primary care, one of the most, I don't know, frustrating's the right word, but definitely discouraging things is when you see someone sitting in front of you that has a chronic condition that could have been prevented, right? And I feel like chronic kidney disease is one of those preventable conditions because when you have chronic kidney disease and you progressed in stage renal disease and you're on dialysis that kind of takes over your entire existence, right? Like those people are going to dialysis three times a week, you have to be really careful about the nutrition, about your protein intake. You have to be careful about all your medicines. You can't just go to your cabinet and reach for your ibuprofen. And so the fact that something that you know can be so significant or impact your lifestyle that...

(00:00): "Is Disney actually fun and what is the Disney Rash?" - This is correct, but consider adding a question mark after "Rash?" for clarity. (16:59): "Disney workers on strike at disney ranging from janitors to candy makers" - The word "disney" should be capitalized to refer to the company. (27:22): "Will Wallach be offered the Celtics job if Grandy doesn't return next season and does Aaron Rodgers have just 1 season to make the Jets Super Bowl contenders?" - Consider rephrasing this as two separate questions for better clarity: "Will Wallach be offered the Celtics job if Grandy doesn't return next season? Does Aaron Rodgers have just 1 season to make the Jets Super Bowl contenders?"

In this episode we finish our conversation with Rebecca Grandy, Director of Pharmacy at CHESS, and learn how pharmacists can overcome barriers to issues in patient care through tools such as prior authorizations. We also talk about how CMS doesn't consider pharmacists care providers and how resolving that will lead to greater efficiency and better outcomes.So Rebecca Grandy, welcome back to the Move to Value podcast. Glad you could stick around and continue this conversation about pharmacy services with us.Thank you.Rebecca, last time we were talking about all kinds of great things and how a pharmacist is such an integral part of the care team and we talked about collaboration with clinical providers and other healthcare professionals. One of the things I wanted to talk about is prior authorization because that's prior authorization for medication is crucial in value-based care. Can you explain to us a little bit about the process and any, I don't know, administrative burdens that might be there and how do we address these to make sure that our patients are getting timely care?Sure. You know, I think if you were to ask some of our physician or provider colleagues, they would probably say prior authorization is a four-letter word, right? However, I do believe that as we think about value based care and we think about cost effectiveness, we have to have some sort of process or I'm blanking out here Thomas, we have to have, we have to have some sort of process or way to guarantee that the medicines we're using are going to be cost effective. So, when you think about prior authorization, that's really the intent, right? Usually they're for expensive medicines or they're for medicines that can potentially have lots of side effects or that have very specific clinical niches, if you will. And so I do think they're necessary. However, more and more medicines are needing prior authorizations now, and that's really created an administrative burden for our providers and provider offices That has gotten to the point actually where Congress is sort of intervening at this point. And there's lots of legislation over the next few years, you should see that process get better. So for example, if I'm a physician and I want my patient to have a very specific diabetes medicine, so there's some diabetes medicines that need prior authorizations, I send the prescription. And for most of our providers, they're not even going to know it needs a prior authorization until the pharmacy sends either a fax or an electronic prior authorization back to that office. So I may not even know. So my patient has already left the office. I tried to send in their prescription. Now I get kicked back from the pharmacy saying, OK, this needs a prior authorization. So you can already see in this example, you sort of set yourself up for some dissatisfied patients and some for dissatisfied providers. And so once I get that prior authorization paperwork, someone has to complete it. And in my experience, I've actually had experience doing prior authorizations. If you don't dot every I and cross every T, you're not going to get it approved and you're going to get a denial. You may not know about it, you know, for several days or even several weeks, depending on the insurance and depending on the priority. And so now you have a patient that's sort of left in the dark because they don't know why they can't get their medicine from the pharmacy. The pharmacy's saying why I sent the paperwork to your provider. They need a prior authorization. The physician offices has no idea where it is in the insurance queue. And so you take that and you compound it with the fact that every insurance has a slightly different process, every medicine is a slightly different process. You have to log into external portals which are not part of the day-to-day workflow. And so the administrative burden, again, it's just a...

In hour 2, Grandy, Dumas and Dibs discuss where the Warriors should aim for their next move that will bring them back amongst the NBA elite

Today we get to know Rebecca Grandy, Director of Pharmacy at CHESS Health Solutions, and learn how a clinical pharmacist is an integral part of the care team, not only for improving patient outcomes by being the medication expert, but also by developing relationships with patients and using psychology to ensure medication adherence, resulting in better outcomes at a lower cost. Rebecca Grandy, welcome to the Move to Value podcast.Thank you for having me, Thomas.So, Rebecca, why pharmacy? Can you tell us your story of how you came to be in the role that you sit in today?I ran out of time and ran out of options, but it was one of the best decisions that I think I've made in my career. I think like a lot of folks who go into healthcare, when I was in high school, I really enjoyed science, really enjoyed math, was good at it and wanted to use those skills, you know, to be helpful to get back to the community. And so when I was in high school, I actually thought I wanted to be a pediatrician because I loved kids, worked at summer camps. I just thought that would be, you know, a great career to combine the things I was good at and the things that I enjoyed. And so then when I went to college, I remember being in my intro to biology class and I walk in and it's a class of like 400 to 500 people and they all want to be physicians. And I'm like, well, I don't really know why I chose pediatrician. Like it just felt like the right fit. I grew up in a rural community and so I think my knowledge of careers and job options was pretty limited, right? And healthcare physician, nurse, that's what you do. And so after being in that intro to biology class and seeing everyone, wanted to be a physician and I was like, well, you know, I'm going to keep my options open, not put too much pressure on myself and just sort of see where I end up going. And I decided to get a biology and chemistry in undergrad. And I knew that would really prepare me for anything in healthcare that I wanted to do. And so I just spent the next few years in college shadowing, learning, volunteering. I volunteered with physical therapist, pediatrician physical therapist. I did respiratory therapy, I did high risk dental clinics, I did medicine, spent some time in an inpatient pharmacy and really never found what I felt was a good fit. And so in my junior year, end of my junior year, I was like, OK, I was like, I'm graduating in a year and I need to make some decisions here because with a biology undergrad degree, you're sort of limited. I knew I didn't want to be a teacher and I didn't want to work in a lab. So I was like, OK, I got to do something here. Luckily, at the time, my roommate, her boyfriend, and a good friend of mine, his dad was a consultant pharmacist. I had never heard of that. You know, really when I thought about pharmacy, I thought about the folks who work in retail, CVS, Walgreens, you know, Walmart, grocery store, and really didn't know much more about pharmacy. I had spent some time in the inpatient pharmacy at UNC Hospitals volunteering, but I was literally taking expired drugs off the shelf and getting rid of them. That's what they needed. So I was willing to do it, but it wasn't that exciting. And so she was like, well, have you looked into pharmacy? So being the per type of person I am, I go to the library, I pull all these books about the career of pharmacy and I'm reading about all the different options. And I'm like, OK, I'm like, I like science, I like math. This pharmacy thing seems like it could be a good fit because I'd already ruled out some of the other professions. And so I ended up applying and I got in. So again, it was sort of that I had explored lots of options, really ran out of choices. I felt it was something that I could be good at, and there were lots of options. And that's how I ended up in pharmacy school.Nice. And after pharmacy...

Eric "Mubita" Sheppard is a U.S. Air Force veteran, family historian, and the visionary founder of Mubita LLC in Williamsburg, Virginia. We open on Eric's early life in Baltimore and the events that led up to his spiritual genealogy quest, one in which he was guided to the slave narrative of an ancestor unbeknownst to him, Moses Grandy. Born into slavery in North Carolina, we hear of Moses' life [1786-1843]: working the canals in The Great Dismal Swamp; the nightmarish death of his brother; cruelties of slavery; and finally, buying his freedom. Eric tells of guiding trips to Lake Drummond to share this history with the likes of formerly incarcerated men. We end on Eric's profound trip to Zambia where he met the Litunga [king] of Barotseland & founded a partnership to connect descendants of American slavery - especially in Virginia - to their African heritage.  Check out Eric's mission at Mubita LLC.Reading from Narrative of the Life of Moses Grandy, Late a Slave in the United States of America.by Moses GrandySupport Our Numinous Nature on Patreon.Follow Our Numinous Nature & my naturalist illustrations on InstagramCheck out my shop of shirts, prints, and books featuring my artContact: herbaceoushuman@gmail.com

The power of observation and a receptive mind are critical to farming, soil health, research, and all discoveries. Jeff Ishee, Mary Sketch Bryant, and Eric Bendfeldt start the New Year and third season of the 4 The Soil podcast with another conversation with Dr. Stuart Grandy, Professor of Natural Resources and the Environment, at the University of New Hampshire (UNH). It turns out the most powerful tool farmers and gardeners have regardless of size is taking time to observe and reflect on what is happening and observing how soil and plants respond to different management strategies. This tool can be used while sitting in a lawn chair or on a tractor. Therefore, the power of observation, good on-farm research, and a receptive mind should never be undervalued in building soil health and discovering the multiple functions and resilience soil can provide particularly during times of drought.

How does one measure and monitor what's happening below the ground in the soil food web? Jeff Ishee, Mary Sketch Bryant, and Eric Bendfeldt caught up with Dr. Stuart Grandy, Professor of Natural Resources and the Environment, at the University of New Hampshire (UNH) to discuss the diversity of soil life and emerging sensor technologies to probe soil organic matter, soil carbon, and overall health. Dr. Grandy outlines why core soil health principles are essential for encouraging fungal hyphae, increasing the diversity of habitats, and enhancing food substrates needed to build a robust soil food web. He emphasizes how important the power of observation is and how he is constantly inspired by farmers' observations and their ongoing on-farm research for increasing productivity and reducing environmental impacts.
