This conversation delves into the significance of organizational culture, emphasizing its role in staff retention, employee engagement, and overall organizational health. Phil and Jim discuss the intentional strategies employed at High 5 to foster a positive culture, the importance of personal connections, and how challenges can test and strengthen that culture. They highlight the need for organizations to prioritize relationships and create environments conducive to growth, ultimately leading to a more engaged and committed workforce.   Culture is integral to what we do. Creating conditions suitable for growth is essential. Modeling good culture is more impactful than direct advice. Building connections and relationships is key to retention. Simple gestures can significantly enhance workplace culture. People leave jobs due to feelings, not just salary. Intentional strategies are necessary for fostering culture. Personal connections enhance team dynamics and morale. Culture is tested during challenging times, revealing its strength. A strong culture can coexist with financial success.

In this episode of Mad About Business, I'm breaking down the deeply frustrating experience I had with a casting call that claimed to be inclusive… but completely missed the mark.It started with an advert about a “campaign celebrating authenticity.” Sounded great -until I read the fine print: must be in good health, no visible tattoos or facial piercings, polished professional appearance. For a photo. Of a “real” person.I'm calling out the double standards and outdated professionalism rules that still dominate the business world - especially when they try to parade as inclusive. If you've ever felt judged for how you look, dress, or show up as a neurodivergent, disabled, or simply human founder, this one's for you.In this episode:The real definition of professionalism (hint: it's not your outfit)Why performative inclusivity is more damaging than none at allMy rant on rigid beauty standards in “authentic” marketingShout-outs to brands and people who are getting it rightHow I built a safer space in my membership by doing the oppositeMentions:Docket by Kathryn Ann Reed – life admin platform for neurodivergent folksJen Wilson – DEI coach and safe space educatorLloyds & Nationwide – orgs doing actual inclusion work“No visible tattoos?! What the fuck?”“This is not what inclusion looks like”“I'm autistic AND professional”“You don't look ‘healthy' in a photo”“Professionalism is a mindset, not a dress code”---------------------- Visit Maddy's ⁠⁠⁠Stan Store⁠⁠⁠ Follow Maddy on ⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠ and ⁠⁠⁠TikTok⁠

Supervisory requirements aren't just administrative niceties; they're the difference between compliant practice and a lawsuit waiting to happen.

It's called ‘Odyssey.' That's the art installation placed this summer in Tower Square Park in Springfield — the one featuring three pigeons around a Campbell's soup can. It was placed there to turn some heads, generate talk, activate a space, and bring people to the downtown. And it's doing all of that and more, according to Michelle Grout, executive director of the Springfield Business Improvement District. Overall, ‘Odyssey' represents just one of the ways the BID is getting creative in its efforts to promote downtown, create vibrancy, and generate economic development, as Grout explains on the next episode of BusinessTalk, hosted by contributing writer George O'Brien. It's must listening, so tune into BusinessTalk, a podcast presented by BusinessWest.

Lou Manfredini joins Lisa Dent in his new weekly segment, Ask Lou, where he answers your questions about all things home repair.

We are all familiar with the grout that is used for tiles in our homes. We are less familiar with grout that is used to stabilize the soil beneath buildings.  Grouting is a process of ground improvement by injecting materials that can fill voids and cracks, strengthen and increase the bearing capacity of soil, and […]

Questions about the meaning of womanhood and femininity loomed large in late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century French culture. In Playing Cleopatra: Inventing the Female Celebrity in Third Republic France (LSU Press, 2024), Dr. Holly Grout uses the theater—specifically, Parisian stage performances of the Egyptian queen Cleopatra by Sarah Bernhardt, Colette, and Josephine Baker—to explore these cultural and political debates. How and why did portrayals of Cleopatra influence French attitudes regarding race, sexuality, and gender? To what extent did Bernhardt, Colette, and Baker manipulate the image of Cleopatra to challenge social norms and to generate new models of womanhood? Why was Cleopatra—an ancient, mythologized queen—the chosen vehicle for these spectacular expressions of modern womanhood? In the context of late nineteenth-century Egyptomania, Cleopatra's eroticized image—as well as her controversial legacy of female empowerment—resonated in new ways with a French public engaged in reassessing feminine sexuality, racialized beauty, and national identity. By playing Cleopatra, Bernhardt, Colette, and Baker did more than personify a character; they embodied the myriad ways in which celebrity was racialized, gendered, and commoditized, and they generated a model of female stardom that set the stage for twentieth-century celebrity long before the Hollywood machine's mass manufacture of “stars.” At the same time, these women engaged with broader debates regarding the meaning of womanhood, celebrity, and Frenchness in the tumultuous decades before World War II. Drawing on plays, periodicals, autobiographies, personal letters, memoirs, novels, works of art, and legislation, Playing Cleopatra contributes to a growing body of literature that examines how individuals subverted the prevailing gender norms that governed relations between the sexes in liberal democratic regimes. By offering employment, visibility, and notoriety, the theater provided an especially empowering world for women, in which the roles they played both reflected and challenged contemporary cultural currents. Through the various iterations in which Bernhardt, Colette, and Baker played Cleopatra, they not only resurrected an ancient queen but also appropriated her mystique to construct new narratives of womanhood. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose new book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

Brother Dick Grout, former worship leader at Elim Bible College delivers a message in “More Than a Song,” that challenges students and staff to see worship as more than just music—it's a way of life. Anchored in Romans 12:1, which urges believers to present their bodies as living sacrifices, the message explores how true worship happens when our hearts, actions, and choices reflect God's worth. With sincerity and reverence, Brother Dick reminds listeners that worship begins in the quiet places of obedience and surrender. It's an invitation to move beyond performance and into a life that honors God in every moment.

Join Doug as he talks with Maddy Alexander-Grout, an entrepreneur who transformed her life from £80,000 in debt to running successful businesses. Maddy shares her journey from running a local discount card business to becoming a visibility strategist and ADHD champion. As she talks about goal setting, manifestation, and authentic social media presence she gives her valuable knowledge and experience, advising entrepreneurs, especially those with neurodivergent minds, on how to set achievable goals and celebrate every success along the way. KEY TAKEAWAYS Being specific with goals and writing them down is crucial, Maddy emphasises how having tangible, written goals helped her achieve everything from securing a book deal to finding her dream house. Authenticity in business is more valuable than portraying perfection and Maddy's success comes from being genuinely herself and sharing both victories and struggles openly. Conservative goal setting can be more effective than aiming too high, setting achievable targets helps maintain motivation and prevents rejection sensitivity, especially for those who are neurodivergent. TikTok success isn't just about viral content, reaching the right 200 people can be more valuable than reaching millions of the wrong ones. Traditional coaching methods don't work for everyone, many people need direct guidance rather than having answers drawn out of them. Being detailed about what you want when manifesting goals, helps align your actions with your objectives. Building a business around your values creates genuine connections. Start by focusing on attracting people with similar missions rather than trying to appeal to everyone. Celebrating small wins is essential for sustainable growth - Breaking down larger goals into smaller achievements helps maintain momentum and motivation. BEST MOMENTS "I'm what they call a multipotentialite, if you haven't heard that word, it basically just means that I do all of the stuff, I refuse to niche based on a subject area." "I have made some severely good money from TikTok, from my actual content, from going viral but I actually realised about six months ago that it's not about going viral, it's about reaching the right people." "If you are open and honest about your goals and your missions and what you want to achieve and you're realistic, there is absolutely no reason why you won't hit those goals." "Shouting about your successes is not boasting. It is actually something which will gain you respect."

This conversation explores the theme of leadership and the importance of building relationships in effective leadership. The discussion highlights examples of leadership from the movie Saving Private Ryan and the director of professional development (at the time the article was written) for the National Association of Independent Schools, Dave Mallory. The conversation also includes an exercise to reflect on positive and negative experiences with leaders and the impact of relationships in leadership.    Takeaways; Effective leadership is never without the attribute of building relationships. Leadership is about caring and forming connections with others. Positive leadership experiences leave a lasting impact and evoke feelings of respect, value, and happiness. Poor leadership can have negative effects and create a sense of discomfort or fear. Building relationships is a powerful tool in leadership and can create a safe and trusting environment. Understanding oneself and one's relationship with others is essential in effective leadership.

Burnout is the emotional and physical exhaustion that comes from prolonged mental, physical, or emotional stress. While everyone goes through seasons of stress, the relational aspect of ministry heightens its difficulty. And when you are also shouldering the burdens of a community or dealing with culture shock or caring for desperately needy people on top of your own personal life, tiredness can lead to exhaustion pretty quickly. In this episode, we're talking to James Grout from One Child and we're asking questions like: What are things specific to ministry and missions that can cause burnout? What happens when something we feel we're called to seems impossible and overwhelming? And when is it okay to walk away from ministry?

My dog got diagnosed with cancer last year and after putting out a poll to my audience on instagram, I decided to seek an alternative route and go down the CBD path. You could say I got stuck in a bit of a rabbit hole,  and I've become  more and more curious of this incredible plant and just how amazing the benefits are for not only my pupper, but for humans too! So I figured who better to bring on to have a chat about all things CBD, THC. cannabis & hemp than the Hemp King himself Lauchlan Grout. Lauchlan is a distinguished professional in agriculture, specialising in Cannabis Sativa L. Since founding Hemp Farms Australia in 2013, he has immersed himself in all facets, from large-scale industrial operations to advanced medicinal substrate manipulation. He established an industrial cannabis genetics company, pivotal in transitioning Australia's hemp industry to commercial-scale cropping. Hemp Farms Australia prioritises industrial grain and fibre cultivars build for sub-tropical climates. Lauchlan is Vice President of the Australian Hemp Council and President of the Queensland Hemp Association, representing and advocating for the industry. This chat will blow your mind! Informative, educational, interesting but also very fun! I hope you enjoy XSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

SHOW NOTES: Delve into the intricacies of home improvement as we discuss getting the right bang for your buck in lumber purchases, using the best grout cleaning routine, and breaking the ice on frozen garage doors. From measuring mastery to thawing tactics, we've got answers to these and other homeowner questions! - Measuring Lumber: Does the price you pay for lumber really measure up to what you get? - Cleaning Grout: Read between the lines on how to choose the right cleaner for your dirty grout. - De-Icing Garage Doors: Learn how to de-ice a garage door that's become a frozen fortress.   Q & A: - Dehumidifier: Kayla's dehumidifier keeps tripping the 100-amp circuit. The problem is with the breaker, not the dehumidifier, but she can easily add a bigger dedicated circuit. - House Settling: Cracks, stuck doors, and popping screws all happening at once may indicate house movement. AJ needs a home inspector or structural engineer to determine whether it's an active problem. - Rusty Garage Doors: Carolyn gets tips on how to sand, prime, and paint her rusty metal garage doors. - Gutters: Leslie learns a new word for gutters from Eric, who finds out gutters should always be installed, even on a house with a concrete slab. - Sink Refinishing: Debra wants to get rid of the black ring around her drain without having to replace the beautiful sink. We have tips for using cleaners or steel wool. - Insulation: What kind of insulation should be used for the exterior walls of an old home? Blown-in insulation by an experienced installer would be Twan's best choice. - Bathroom Flooring: Linoleum floor tiles are curling up in Darlene's bathroom. Adhesive is a temporary fix, but we suggest installing a floating laminate floor over it. - Wheelchair Ramp: Sue needs to prevent ice on a wheelchair ramp without damaging the wood. Calcium chloride, mixed with sand, is effective and less corrosive. - Painting Redwood Siding: David is off to a good start by priming his redwood siding and should use a good quality paint over it as soon as possible. - Roofing: Catherine's old barn needs a new roof. If the barnboard is continuous and solid, she can install the underlayment and shingles right over it. - Salt in Septic System: Giovanni was told the salt from his water softener is deteriorating his concrete septic tank, but we don't think that's very likely.   ASK A QUESTION: Need help with your own home improvement or décor question?

On the morning of July 24, 1908, Delia Congdon, a deaf and non-verbal woman living alone in East Wallingford, Vermont, was found dead in her pantry—presumed to have been murdered while she prepared breakfast. At first, investigators suspected a local criminal known for his violent behavior; however, within a day, an unusual clue discovered in Congdon's barn pointed them towards Elroy Kent, a notorious local thief and recent escapee from a nearby psychiatric hospital whose petty criminal antics had plagued police for decades. With a caveat of mental illness at stake, Kent's trial and execution came under heavy scrutiny. Thank you to the magical and mystical Dave for research assistance. ReferencesBennington Banner. 1909.

“I think maybe what we've learned is how important family and community are. What I noticed in Madagascar is how genuinely happy they are despite not having a lot in life. We have so many material possessions here in the US, and not to say that's all bad if people want to pursue that, but I just definitely noticed how it wasn't so much about what you have, but like who you are as a person. I would want them to know that anything is possible. You just need to persevere and that can have such a huge ripple effect. Not only one person's life, but anybody, whether that's a community or the whole world on a global scale. I wouldn't want people to feel discouraged because I think there are definitely moments along the way of that and people will just not want to try to do that because people around them may say ‘It's not possible.' But if you keep going, then it will eventually come to life.”Maggie Grout is the founder and CEO of Thinking Huts, an international NGO that increases global access to education with innovative, humanitarian-driven technology solutions. Founded by Maggie 8 years ago, when she was15, Thinking Huts seeks to empower young people, especially girls, to achieve more opportunities by obtaining an education. Grout gave a TEDx talk in 2021 on “how we can tackle the global education crisis with 3D printing.”Grout was born in a rural village in China and adopted at a young age, but where she came from largely shaped her outlook on life and subliminally led her to start Thinking Huts in 2015. Growing up in London and Colorado, Grout was exposed to the melting pot of cultures in British and American society, but she often wondered why so many people were unaware of how others lived an ocean away.
