“This is, I think, when people need more help remembering how to access their play or kind of letting themselves play—because adults do play,” says Cas Holman, a world-renowned designer and the author of Playful: How Play Shifts Our Thinking, Inspires Connection, and Sparks Creativity. Today, we talk a bit about Holman’s unique approach to play for kids, but mostly we talk about what she’s doing to help adults shift their mindsets—so that we might find age-appropriate ways to play that we genuinely enjoy and that can serve as a salve for our communities.

Send a textThere's a difference between guilt and shame.Guilt says, “I did something wrong.”Shame says, “I am something wrong.”In the final week of Grown-Up Monsters, we look at John 21 and Peter's restoration. After publicly denying Jesus, Peter is met not with condemnation, but with grace. Jesus recreates the scene of failure — and rewrites the ending.

What actually drives long-term growth, in business, leadership, and life?In this replay episode, Alisa Cohn sits down with Sal Di Stefano, co-founder of Mind Pump Media, to explore what it really takes to build something that lasts. From turning a podcast into a multi-revenue media company to navigating cofounder relationships, conflict, and personal growth, Sal shares hard-earned lessons from nearly a decade of building Mind Pump without venture capital or shortcuts.This conversation goes beyond tactics. Sal breaks down why authenticity creates trust at scale, how to know you've chosen the right cofounders, and why being “right” is far less important than staying aligned. He also shares how prioritizing physical health and personal boundaries made him a stronger leader, not a weaker one.If you're a founder, creator, or leader who wants sustainable growth without burnout, this episode offers a grounded, honest look at what actually works.You'll learn:Why authenticity is a growth strategy, not a branding tacticHow to recognize cofounder alignment before problems surfaceWhy being right can hurt teams and trustHow physical health supports better leadership decisionsWhat Mind Pump did differently to build loyalty and longevityWe talk about:00:00 Leadership responsibility, health, and personal accountability01:00 Introducing Sal Di Stefano and Mind Pump Media03:00 Why long-form podcasting enabled real connection and trust05:10 Turning Mind Pump into a multi-revenue media business09:10 Building trust before monetizing and letting the audience lead13:45 Early revenue growth and turning down misaligned sponsors18:30 Finding the right cofounders and values alignment22:15 Conflict, disagreement, and committing as a team30:45 Navigating growth, the pandemic, and unexpected momentum36:10 Authenticity, vulnerability, and being recognized in public40:20 Boundaries, family, and redefining success as a leader45:00 Focus, leverage, and choosing what actually moves growth49:20 Serving existing customers before chasing new ones53:40 Why great leaders and coaches must be great communicators57:40 Final reflections on leadership, health, and the long gameFollow Sal onX: https://x.com/mindpumpsalPodcast: https://mindpumppodcast.com/ Website: www.mindpumpmedia.comConnect with Alisa!

Send a textWe all had monsters under the bed as kids. As adults, they hide in our hearts.Week 1 of Grown-Up Monsters explores one of the most common yet hidden struggles we face: loneliness.In Mark 1:35–45, Jesus encounters a man who had been isolated and untouchable. Before performing a miracle, Jesus does something powerful — He reaches out and touches him. It's a reminder that God does not stand at a distance from our loneliness. He meets us in it.If you've been feeling alone, unseen, or spiritually distant, this service will remind you that you are not abandoned.

Debut author Lauren Morrow joins us to discuss Little Movements, a sharp, funny, and deeply perceptive literary novel set in the world of professional dance.Lauren Morrow joins Book Gang to discuss her satirical novel, Little Movements, which follows Layla, a Black choreographer navigating a fragile marriage, a long-delayed hope of motherhood, and a career-defining opportunity at a prestigious arts institution.When Layla relocates alone to create a new piece from the ground up, she finds herself confronting not just the physical demands of dance but the subtler pressures of tokenization, institutional expectations, and who gets to define what her work "means."Drawing from Morrow's background in dance and arts publicity, Little Movements offers an insider's view of how cultural organizations frame progress, how money shapes artistic freedom, and how women—especially Black women—are often asked to carry symbolic weight they never volunteered for.In this fascinating conversation, we explore:

What does it actually mean to lead with authority and empathy, without burning out, people-pleasing, or losing yourself in the process?In this episode, Alisa Cohn sits down with clinical psychologist, parenting expert, and bestselling author Dr. Becky Kennedy to explore why the skills that make great parents also create the strongest leaders.Dr. Becky introduces the concept of sturdy leadership, a grounded approach that rejects both authoritarian control and emotional over-accommodation. Instead, it teaches leaders how to hold boundaries, stay regulated during conflict, and repair relationships when things go sideways.This conversation unpacks why leadership is not about managing everyone's feelings, how guilt often disguises emotional over-responsibility, and why repair after rupture is more powerful than perfection. You'll learn how to handle defensiveness, set boundaries without shame, navigate imposter syndrome, and build trust through consistency and self-leadership.You'll learn:What “sturdy leadership” really means and why authority without aggression builds trustWhy setting boundaries often triggers guilt and how to tell guilt apart from emotional over-responsibilityHow repair strengthens relationships more than getting it right the first timeHow to handle defensiveness, emotional reactions, and resistance at workWhy scripts and practice reps are essential leadership skills, not crutchesHow predictable conflict shows up at work and how to lead through it calmlyWhy imposter syndrome never fully disappears and how to lead anywayWe talk about:00:00 Why parenting is leadership training and why leadership is human work03:45 What sturdy leadership is and why extremes fail06:20 The “sturdy pilot” metaphor and how leaders create safety in turbulence10:30 Authority vs empathy, and why feelings should not dictate decisions14:40 Boundaries, guilt, and emotional over-responsibility at work18:50 Why empathy doesn't mean absorbing other people's emotions22:30 Handling defensiveness and emotional reactions in professional settings31:45 Predictable conflict, patterns, and solving the real issue36:10 Repair after rupture and why it builds trust faster than perfection42:30 How unrepaired moments erode connection and performance45:20 Imposter syndrome, self-leadership, and staying in the driver's seat49:00 What Dr. Becky wishes she had known earlier about growth and leadershipFollow Dr. Becky onInstagramYouTubeTikTokFacebookWebsiteConnect with Alisa!

Welcome back, neighbors, to another exciting episode of the Mighty VC Points Podcast! This episode of the podcast is proudly sponsored by our friends over at DVC Resale Market. We're thrilled to have a very special guest joining us today—the legendary Mary Anne. It has been a long time since we last connected with her on the podcast, and we are eager to catch up on her life's adventures and Disney Vacation Club (DVC) experiences. Episode 374

Today's episode is about a girl who felt like nobody - even to her own family. She did what was right, learned quietly in the back of rooms, and tried to make others feel special because that's what she wished for herself. One day, someone saw her worth and said she could build an empire. That moment changed how she saw herself. As I grew, I realized something big: there isn't a person alive who's nobody. By being human, we are somebody - important to someone. We matter to our families, our friends, and the people who sit with us at the table. Success is great, but it's the people who love us who make life rich. This episode is my reminder to choose kindness, every day. Smile, notice people, and say something real, especially when someone is having a hard day. Make everyone feel special. When their time comes, they'll remember you—and you'll build amazing things together. See you tomorrow.   Thank you for joining me today! I'm having a blast creating Fabulous Over 50 & it would be an honor to have you share it with someone who would enjoy it. Thank you! Want more?

In this episode, Raymond Guns sat down with Leah Heise, founder of Gemini Twin Consulting. They talked about what really happens behind the scenes of cannabis companies as they grow. Leah's brings a well rounded perspective. She went from being a federal prosecutor to helping scale some of the most recognizable cannabis MSOs. Along the way, she lived through multiple IPO's and learned what separates hype from real business discipline. We talk honestly about why consultants often get a bad reputation. How founders misunderstand what help they actually need, and why “just fixing sales” is rarely the real problem. Leah breaks down the difference between project work, advisory roles, and true fractional leadership. Why execution matters more than strategy decks. This conversation pulls back the curtain on people problems, and why no single hire can save (or sink) a cannabis company. Finally, we zoom out to the future. From the cannabis debt wall and investor trust to global markets, rescheduling, and consolidation.  Leah shares what worries her about 2026 and what gives her hope. This episode is for founders, executives, and investors who want a clearer, calmer view of where cannabis is headed. and how to build companies that last without losing the humans behind them.

Semyon Dukach, the Founding Partner at One Way Ventures, serial entrepreneur, and former leader of the famed MIT Blackjack team, joins me to share his extraordinary journey from arriving in the U.S. as a Soviet refugee to becoming one of New England's top venture capitalists. We discuss his path from leading the MIT Blackjack team to startup founder to prolific investor. One Way Ventures invests only in immigrant founders and we discussed how he developed that thesis. We also talk about personal growth, overcoming imposter syndrome, and what it really takes to become an exceptional founder and leader.Where to find Semyon:XLinkedInOne Way VenturesTimestamps:(00:00) From Pacman to Blackjack: A Unique Journey(02:58) Lessons from the MIT Blackjack Team(05:54) Transitioning from Operator to Investor(08:52) The Immigrant Experience and Entrepreneurship(11:46) Building Trust in High-Stakes Environments(14:36) The Power of Immigrant Founders(17:44) Branding and Recognition in Venture Capital(28:18) Building a Strong Network for Deal Flow(31:39) Recognizing Undervalued Immigrant Founders(34:19) Traits of Extraordinary Founders(37:07) The Importance of Customer Focus(38:53) Growth Through Partnership and Experience(42:23) Navigating the Challenges of Venture Capital(44:56) Turning Disappointments into Opportunities(46:19) Dealing with Imposter Syndrome(47:32) Lessons Learned on the Entrepreneurial Journey(51:03) The Inner Drive of EntrepreneurshipConnect with Alisa!

Jonathan Wolf is the co-founder and CEO of ZOE, the science-based nutrition company using data to transform how people eat. In this candid conversation, he joins me to explore what it takes to build a mission-driven company, how to lead with more clarity and transparency, and why the way we eat is more broken and more fixable than most people think.ZOE's origin story is as unconventional as it is inspiring. After scaling Critéo into a billion-dollar business, Jonathan stepped away with no plan and plenty of questions. That wandering period led him to microbiome researcher Tim Spector, and from there, to the bold idea of using AI and big data to personalize nutrition at scale. Eight years and 250,000 microbiome samples later, ZOE is running the world's largest nutrition science study and has launched a free app to help people assess their food in real time.Where to find Jonathan:ZOEXLinkedInTimestamps:(00:01:30) Jonathan's Path from Tech Operator to Founder(04:24) Why Success at a $2B IPO Still Felt Empty(05:39) Sabbatical, Loss of Structure, and Founder Identity Crisis(06:58) The Serendipitous Meeting That Sparked ZOE(09:27) Letting Go of Outcome Obsession and Learning to Value the Process(11:48) Chasing Achievement vs. Living in Alignment with Values(14:19) Becoming a Founder Later in Life—and Why That Helped(17:05) Why Being Naïve About an Industry Can Be a Competitive Advantage(19:45) Raising €7 Million in Just a Few Weeks(20:53) Convincing World-Class Scientists to Bet on an Unproven Idea(24:20) Building a Flywheel: Science, Data, and Community(29:51) Using Technology and AI for Human Good(38:47) From Pure Science to a Scalable Business Model(43:05) Creating the ZOE Membership Flywheel(48:07) Community Science as a Core Business Strategy(50:44) Transparency, Trust, and Leading Through Hard Decisions(54:28) Mission-Driven Culture and Retaining Great Talent(57:56) Growing from Founder to Leader as the Company ScalesConnect with Alisa!

In part one of Red Eye Radio with Gary McNamara and Eric Harley, Seattle Mayor-elect Katie Wilson said now that she has been elected mayor and is earning more money as a result, she no longer needs to ask her parents for help to pay the bills. The 43 year old Wilson, who recently told CNN she thought embracing the help she got from her parents made her more "relatable" to Seattle voters, quipped on social media that, "after much deliberation and a grueling interview process," she was "pleased" to announce that her higher salary as mayor will mean she no longer needs financial support from her parents. Also, audio from The View on Jasmine Crockett's "walk back" on referring to a different Jeffrey Epstein, Lee Zeldin on Jasmine Crockett's lies and President Trump's liability on affordability. Also September's jobs report shatters records and angry sports reporters.
