What does it take for a corporate scientist with zero direct reports to land on a list dominated by business school professors and bestselling authors? That's the question Jayshree Seth had to answer for herself when she was named to the Thinkers50 Radar in 2025 — and her answer became a framework. In her third appearance on the show, Jayshree Seth, 3M's Chief Science Advocate and now-published trilogy author, returns to catch listeners up on a remarkable stretch: a Thinkers50 keynote, a panel alongside Amy Edmondson, an HBR collaboration on trust and AI, and the release of her third book, The Heart of Science: Engineering Blueprint. The conversation moves through several of Jayshree's signature acronym-driven frameworks. There's METRICS-OPTICS-RUBRICS-ENERGETICS, born from reflecting on how she — an engineer with no traditional management credentials — ended up on a list built for management thinkers. There's the "three Cs" that block innovation: copy-pasting, catchphrositis, and cherry-picking, delivered as her Thinkers50 keynote. And there's VIABLE, her personal-branding framework built around voice and visibility, image and impact, backstory and behaviors, and experience and exposure. Beyond the frameworks, this is a conversation about the mechanics of building a reputation from inside a technical role. Jayshree traces the specific chain of relationships — a mention in David Epstein's book Range, an introduction to Rita McGrath, an eventual collaboration with Amy Edmondson on psychological safety and "intelligent failure" applied to human-AI trust — that turned an internal 3M scientist into an external voice cited in Harvard Business Review and Fast Company. Bill and Jayshree also dig into what it means to write a book for three different audiences at once — emerging thought leaders, established experts, and Hall of Fame-level veterans — and why friction in that process is often a sign you're doing it right. The episode closes with a reflection on responsibility: once you have an audience, thought leadership isn't a hobby, it's a discipline that has to coexist with a full-time job. If you've ever wondered whether your expertise "counts" as thought leadership because it didn't come with a traditional credential, this one's for you.     Three Key Takeaways: • Being different can be your competitive advantage, not a liability. Jayshree's METRICS-OPTICS-RUBRICS-ENERGETICS framework argues that outsiders to a field — like an engineer among management thinkers — don't need to conform to existing rubrics. Changing the measurement, the framing, and the energy you bring can alter who gets to lead a conversation. • Reaching out to "inaccessible" experts is a discipline, not a gamble. Jayshree's collaborations with Amy Edmondson, Rita McGrath, and others didn't start with credentials — they started with cold outreach after reading an article or hearing a podcast. The lesson: most thought leaders are more accessible than they appear, and it's okay if they say no. • A personal brand for thought leadership rests on delivery, not image. Her VIABLE framework (voice/visibility, image/impact, backstory/behaviors, experience/exposure) puts the emphasis on tangible results and consistent values over aesthetics — visibility only amplifies a brand that already has substance behind it.   This episode isn't just an interview — it's a live example of the ideas in Bill's brand-new book, The Thought Leadership Handbook, co-written with Peter Winick and Naren Aryal. Jayshree's journey — from in-house corporate scientist to Thinkers50 Radar honoree — is practically a case study for the book's core idea: that thought leadership follows identifiable patterns, not luck. In fact, the book itself draws on more than 700 conversations from this very podcast, and organizes those stories into five thought leadership "avatars" — Jayshree's path as an In-House Expert turned public voice fits right into that framework. If her VIABLE branding model resonated with you, the Handbook goes deeper into exactly how experts like her make that leap from personal effort to public influence.

Inside Episode 400: What A New Direction with Coach Jay Uncovered About My Life, Values, and Purpose Four hundred conversations in, A New Direction with Coach Jay finally turned the microphone around on its own host. For episode 400, Steve Riddle — founder of CoachStation and author of Falling Into Leadership, and a two-time guest on the show — sat across from me and asked the questions I usually ask everyone else. Not softball ones, either. Steve went after my life, the challenges that shaped it, and the choices that took a farm kid’s kind of grit and built it into the coach, speaker, and podcast host I am today. From there, the conversation on A New Direction with Coach Jay moved into the work itself — my coaching philosophy, and what actually holds it together. Steve pushed past the surface and asked what writing four books taught me, what my philosophy has meant in practice, and how that philosophy shows up when I’m working with a competitive youth athlete or a business leader trying to find their footing. Coaching isn’t a technique you apply the same way twice. It’s a set of principles you adapt to the person in front of you, and Steve made me articulate that out loud, maybe for the first time this clearly. The heart of the episode, though, was core values and purpose — the two things every guest on this show eventually circles back to, whether they mean to or not. Steve asked me directly: after 400 conversations, what do I actually believe drives people? I talked about the values that have anchored me through every version of this business, from A New Direction with Coach Jay to Real Estate Right Now to the coaching work with business execs and owners to young athletes, and why purpose has to survive contact with hard seasons or it isn’t real purpose at all. Then Steve turned to the pattern recognition — what 400 interviews across authors, entrepreneurs, and leaders have taught me about people and business that you wouldn’t expect. A New Direction with Coach Jay has never been a highlight reel, and this episode wasn’t either. It was a direct look at what changes in you when you’ve spent years listening for what makes people tick, and what that means for anyone building a business, a team, or a life on purpose.

It’s the Person Running It. The marketing is fine. The team is capable. The market is there. And the business still won’t move. You’ve read the books. Hired the consultants. Rebuilt the org chart twice. None of it touched the actual problem, because the actual problem was never in the business. It’s fear. It’s ego. It’s the story you keep telling yourself about what you can and can’t do. It’s the “personal stuff” you’ve been leaving at the door every morning — except it doesn’t stay there. It walks in with you and runs the company. I’m Jay Izso. I’m an Executive Performance Coach, and I work with CEOs and founders of $5M–$50M companies who’ve hit a wall they can’t explain. I don’t fix algorithms. I fix the behaviors and mindsets that are strangling your growth. No Motivational Platitudes I find the personal behavioral pattern that’s driving the business dysfunction. Then I help you disrupt it so the company can actually grow. That’s the whole method. No vision boards. No affirmations on the monitor. Diagnostics, intervention, results. If you want to feel better about your business, hire a hype man. If you want it to change, keep reading — because where I learned to do this isn’t a place most coaches have ever set foot. Raised on the Farm. Trained in Psychology. My approach comes from two places most coaches never set foot in. The farm. I grew up a farmhand in Ithaca, Nebraska — population 100. I started working at nine. By fourteen I was castrating boars, and nobody was coming to do it for me if I froze. By the time I left for college I’d spent a decade learning that you can’t cheat the harvest, that pain is part of the job, and that the work gets done whether you feel like it or not. That’s not a charming childhood story. It’s why I don’t flinch when a CEO’s real problem turns out to be uglier than the one they hired me to fix. I’ve done harder, dirtier work than a hard conversation. The forensic unit. In graduate school at Washington State University, I trained under Dr. Thomas Brigham — co-author of the Handbook of Applied Behavior Analysis — in a human behavior lab built around real-world problems, not theory. I followed that into a Clinical Psych II role at Eastern State Hospital in Medical Lake, Washington: a forensic setting, evaluating people charged with the most serious criminal offenses. Sixteen months reading human behavior at its most extreme teaches you one thing fast: how to get past what someone’s telling you and see what’s actually driving the decision. That’s not a metaphor I use with executives — it’s the literal skill I use on them. Most consultants react to what a CEO says the problem is. I was trained to find what’s underneath it. How the Work Actually Happens We find the pattern. Not “leadership style” — the specific behavior that shows up under pressure and quietly runs the company into a wall. The decision you keep re-making. The hire you keep avoiding. The conversation you keep having in your head instead of in the room. We name it, out loud, without the corporate padding. Then we disrupt it — deliberately, on purpose, on a schedule — until the new behavior is the automatic one. Not a seminar. Not a one-time breakthrough you feel good about for a month. A rebuilt habit, tested against your actual business, week over week. If you also want to hear how this plays out in other people’s companies before you talk to me, that’s what the show is for. Every week on A New Direction, I sit down with CEOs, founders, and the researchers behind the science of leadership performance — the decisions that built their companies, the mistakes that nearly ended them, and the breakthrough that changed everything. The podcast is where you can watch the diagnosis happen to someone else first. Who This Is For This works if you’re the CEO or founder of a $5M–$50M company, you already know — or strongly suspect — that you’re the bottleneck, and you’re willing to look at that directly instead of managing around it. This doesn’t work if you want a quick fix. I can’t help you if what you’re after is a pep talk before your next board meeting. I work with people who value authenticity and effort. If you’re ready to dig in, find the root cause, and grow — keep reading. Your Growth Journey Starts Here Big idea, bold goal, or a wall you can’t explain — start the conversation. Schedule your audio session and tell me the one thing about your business that doesn’t add up. I’ll tell you, straight, whether it’s a business problem or a personal one wearing a business costume.

Join me and author Ann Aguirre to talk about her latest book, The Hocus Pocus Handbook. The book follows Thea, a human member of the Winter Court. After being replaced with a changeling as a baby, Thea has grown accustomed to the ways of faerie - their customs and rules, and the ways she can bend the rules for her own acts of “good trouble.” But when she takes things a little too far, she's forced on a quest with the broodiest knight in the court. With the threat of being exiled back into the human world looming over her head, Thea must find her missing betrothed and try not to fall in love with someone else in the process.Aguirre and I had chatted about how she tied in heavier themes of classism, privilege, and The Other to her cozy fantasy. Afterall, who decides what's cozy? We explored this theme of The Other through Thea, the main character, but also through Kerboros, the brooding enforcer for the Winter Court who's trapped in servitude as punishment for his father's crimes. The more they work together to find her betrothed, the more they start to understand each other, which threatens the very thin ice they've found themselves on.Buy The Hocus Pocus Handbook now: https://bookshop.org/a/54661/9781464224119Learn more about Ann Aguirre here: https://www.annaguirre.com/Be sure to like, subscribe, and leave a review!If you have an author, book, or topic you want to hear about on the podcast, then don't hesitate to slide into my DMs on Instagram or shoot me an email!Subscribe to my newsletter to keep up to date on the latest podcast happenings: https://in-bed-with-books.kit.com/76d11f1d51Where else to find me:IG: @inbedwithbookspodYT: https://www.youtube.com/@InBedWithBooksPodEM: inbedwithbookspodcast@gmail.com

Rambling Wreck to Recognition: The Professional Speakers’ Handbook by Allan Roberts https://www.amazon.com/Rambling-Wreck-Recognition-Professional-Speakers/dp/B0GGTKLZRY Allanlroberts.com Roughseasafeharbour.com The Professional Speakers' Handbook Breaking into professional speaking is rarely a smooth or linear journey. Many speakers begin with enthusiasm and expertise, yet struggle with structure, confidence, consistency, or being taken seriously. Rambling Wreck to Recognition is written for speakers who recognise that gap and want practical guidance grounded in real experience. This handbook explores what it actually takes to move from unfocused delivery to purposeful communication. Rather than offering motivational slogans or polished theory, Allan L. Roberts addresses the realities of speaking professionally, from preparing and shaping a talk that resonates, to understanding audiences, handling events, and developing a professional mindset that supports long-term credibility. Drawing on lived experience, observation, and reflection, the book examines common mistakes that hold speakers back, as well as the habits and approaches that help speakers stand out for the right reasons. It covers preparation, mindset, structure, delivery, and the practical considerations that are often overlooked but make a significant difference in how a speaker is perceived. Rambling Wreck to Recognition is not about instant transformation or performance tricks. It is about clarity, awareness, and taking responsibility for how a message is shaped and delivered. The focus is on steady progress, thoughtful preparation, and building recognition through consistency rather than shortcuts. Written for aspiring and developing speakers who want grounded guidance without hype, this book supports those who are serious about their craft and want to be recognised for the value they bring to an audience. About the Author Allan L. Roberts is a professional speaker, coach, mentor, and author. His work is rooted in lived experience rather than theory, supporting individuals as they develop clarity, confidence, and credibility in their speaking and communication.

In this episode, I am joined by Sharon and Heidi, two unschooling mothers from North Yorkshire. Both have neurodivergent children who eventually burned out at school. They describe how incredibly depleting it was to try get their children in to school each day and to advocate for the support they needed. We talk about how the transition was from school to home and the relief of stepping away from a system that isn't working. And, we talk about why our capacity is so important and how we can keep tending to ourselves.Connect with Sharon and Heidi (The Oxygen Mask)Instagram FacebookTiktokIf you'd like to support the podcast and the sharing of these stories, you can do that here.   Thank you!The Parent's Handbook to Unschooling Yourself.

Seeing the people we love walk away from Jesus is one of the hardest parts of living the faith today. So I sit down with David Spesia, Executive Director for Evangelization and Catechesis at the USCCB, to talk about the massive shift happening across the country as the US bishops unite around one single priority: seeking and saving the lost. We dive into the quiet fruit of the Eucharistic Revival and talk about how to keep your eyes fixed squarely on Jesus, even when human flaws and institutional friction threaten to pull you off track.

And, so,gently, September slides into the year, bringing breaths of cool air,the first yellowing leaves,and welcome clarity as we review what we learned in the cauldron and emerge to once again commit to what we know to be true, choosing with trust,determination,and renewed purpose as we look at our lives, at the abundant possibility around us, and settle into the rhythm that nourishes us, that supports us as we both change and thrive. Let us savor the time spent being here in this season of power and plenty.Happy September and welcome to this week's Rituals of Returning newsletter and our September allies as we cross the threshold into a new season! We've updated the shop with some beautiful OOAK goddesses and color experiments as well as Hestia flags and bags. And, we've got our beautiful, powerful, magical ritual kits for Mabon ready as well!September ThresholdsImagine standing at a doorway in your life, a threshold into a new season. By the door there's a basket. You don't have to abandon anything forever. You can simply set a few things down for now.It's okay to put some things in the basket, leave it at the threshold, and step across into what is waiting for you. (If you change your mind, you can always go back and get it later.)Prompt for this week:Name one thing you'd like to “leave in the basket” as we cross into September.Embers for SeptemberIn the threshold meditation I recorded for the Goddess Magic Mystery School with an expanded version of the above, I also invited people to consider their “ember for September.”If you imagine your life as a hearth, then September is not necessarily about building a roaring fire, it can simply be about tending a single glowing coal. It might be an ember of rest, or an ember of creativity, an ember of courage, or an ember of trust.You might name this ember with an intention, a word, or simply a sensation in your body. You might place a candle on your altar and light it once a day. You might notice a moment—a hawk flying overhead, a monarch crossing your path, the smell of apples in the air—and name that as your ember of joyInviting you, too, to consider: What ember am I tending this September?And, then, give that ember what you have: breath, presence, a smile, a few minutes of attention, a hand laid gently on your own heart.Feel free to hit “reply” or to share your thoughts on either of these prompts in the comments section!This week's magic:20 minute video: September's Allies—Replenish with Hestia.I'm celebrating the equinox and a book-aversary and the Kindle edition of Return is on sale until September 15.My poem “the poem I wasn't going to write” was published in the Amethyst Review in June (but I didn't see it until this month).Other new videos:September's activation replay (35 minutes)August's Book of Magic Days flip-through (2 minutes)and, check out the new Wayshowers experience from the Divine Feminine App!

Kingfisher coming through for me again with a daring tale of a middle-aged woman and a dashing and seasoned warrior who happens to inhabit the blade of a sword.(to kids): The Wizard's Guide to Defensive Baking—I have already listened to this one, but I decided to see if T. Kingfisher could come through for my kids as well and break us out of our reading rut. We're doing our best. This one is about a “minor mage” who has power over dough and baking, but finds herself as the last remaining hope of her whole city. (listening to by self) The Raven and the Reindeer—surprise! T. Kingfisher again! This one is based on Nordic folklore and is a retelling of the Snow Queen with some sapphic undertones.

Some Sami folklore and magic are also woven in.side note: Mark is currently reading Nettle and Bone also by…T. Kingfisher. I've already listened to myself and it is a favorite for me!

It is a single credit purchase for 33 hours and THE ENTIRE SERIES as one file. The first is narrated by Kenneth Branagh too, who is doing an excellent job with voice acting it, so it isn't like you got discount/AI narrators for such a bargain either! I'm finding the Christian allegory a lot more heavy-handed than I tuned into as a kid and, of course, I'm also annoyed by the “witch is evil” trope, which feels very tired. However, it also contains some truly excellent understated British humor and I did so love this series as a kid that it remains fun to share it.

A Voter's Handbook: Effective Solutions to America's Problems by James P Gray https://www.amazon.com/dp/1637928610 Judgejimgray.com Over the years, special interests and mismanagement have driven the federal and state governments completely off the track. Once prosperous and flourishing, many American states today are insolvent, dysfunctional, and ungovernable. Now, based upon his experiences as a veteran trial court judge, his solid Libertarian principles and his observations on the election process based on his personal involvement, Judge James P. Gray (ret.) presents a number of effective solutions for some of America's most pressing problems. Judge Gray addresses bedrock principles that made America great in the first place and suggests particular changes in our nation's governmental, tax and energy systems. He shows how we would be safer, healthier, better educated and more successful by implementing specific changes in our systems of Criminal Justice, Healthcare, Education and Immigration. The suggestions made by Judge Gray are straightforward and workable. Democracy is a participatory exercise and the best way to turn government around is to heed Judge Gray's Call to Action. This provocative and perceptive book should be required reading for all of our public servants.-JIM DOTI, PRESIDENT, CHAPMAN UNIVERSITY An informed electorate is essential to preserving liberty. Jim Gray's book stands out for its clear and insightful discussion of key issues confronting America. -MANNY KLAUSNER CO-FOUNDING EDITOR, REASON MAGAZINE We must get copies of this book in the hands of our candidates as quickly as possible.-KEVIN TAKENAGA, CHAIRMAN, LIBERTARIAN PARTY OF CALIFORNIA James P. Gray is a retired trial court judge of the Orange County Superior Court, a former federal prosecutor in Los Angeles, criminal defense attorney in the US. Navy JAG Corps, and Peace Corps Volunteer in Costa Rica. He has received a number of prestigious awards and honorary degrees. He presently works as a private mediator and arbitrator in Irvine, California. About the author Judge Jim Gray was a trial court judge in Orange County, California for 25 years, and was awarded the Orange County Bar Association's highest lifetime achievement award. Judge Gray also started what was probably the first drug court in the country within six months of his appointment to the bench, this one addressing alcohol-related offenses. Prior to becoming a judge, Jim Gray was a federal prosecutor in Los Angeles, a criminal defense attorney in the Navy JAG Corps, and a Peace Corps Volunteer in Costa Rica, where he probably should be in the Guinness Book of Records for brushing his teeth in front of more elementary school classes than anyone else in history. Jim also founded Teen Court, which takes real juvenile delinquency cases to 14 different high schools in Orange County, thus helping not only the subjects and their parents focus upon responsible behavior, but similarly helping the high school jurors and members of the audience to do the same thing. "You show me your friends, and I'll show you your future" is one of the lessons demonstrated by Judge Jim Gray. He also founded the "William P. Gray" Chapter of the American Inns of Court, which is a legal professional group that focuses upon ethics and camaraderie in the practice -- which is what his father, Judge William P. Gray, stood for throughout his legal career. Judge Jim is happily married to his wife, Dr. Grace Walker Gray, DPT, DOT, and has four children, Ky (adopted from an orphanage in Vietnam in 1973), William and his wife Carla, Jennifer, and Morgan and his wife Nicole -- and their two children/his grandchildren(!)

Kinsella on Liberty Podcast: Episode 497. Yesterday (Sep. 5, 2026) I participated in the debate: “Should Free Cities Protect Intellectual Property?” with IP attorney Brian O'Beirne, moderated by Tipolis CFO Alex VossTopic, held at the Free Cities Foundation annual Conference, Próspera, Honduras, Sept. 4–7 (Sat. Sept. 5, 2026) (SK profile; O'Beirne profile) (see Free Cities Foundation Annual Conference — Próspera 2026). https://youtu.be/4GWPdxnpCOI I spoke for 4 minutes, then Brian, and then we had an exchange and audience questions for the remaining time. It was very civil unlike some other debates I've participated in. (( KOL038 | Debate with Robert Wenzel on Intellectual Property; KOL123 | Debate with Jan Helfeld on Anarchy vs. Limited Government. )) One thing I liked is that Brian started off admitting, first, that he has some sympathy for my anti-IP position, and, second, that he acknowledged that opposition to IP is the libertarian position--unlike other libertarian IP proponents who claim that IP rights are compatible with libertarianism, if not the "heart and core" (Ayn Rand) or property rights or  .

Kinsella argued that property exists only to allocate scarce, rivalrous means (self-ownership, first use, contract, restitution); ideas are guides to action, not ownable things. Patent and copyright are statutory privileges—historically Crown monopolies and press control—that impose unconsented negative servitudes on other people's property, block independent inventors, enrich large firms, and should be abolished. O'Beirne treated IP as a right in human ingenuity and a last individual defense against corporate oligopoly and central banking. He granted that the present code is broken (thickets, trolls, life-plus-70) but said abolition would hand creators' work to those same firms; the answer is reform, sector-scaled terms, and symmetry of rights, not erasure. On practice they were closer. Both said Próspera should not pick a treaty fight that threatens the zone. O'Beirne wanted opportunistic protection to attract builders (CAFTA-DR/TRIPS, Infinita). Kinsella wanted the lightest lawful touch—no treble damages, no criminal copyright, shorter terms, Founders' copyright, no software copyright—and stressed that patents are territorial, so skipping a local patent office does not stop U.S. or European filings and is largely irrelevant for exporters. Audience questions (expiry of “property,” fire and the wheel, trademarks, pharma/FDA) replayed the same split: O'Beirne qualified rights by the common good and novelty; Kinsella called consistent IP perpetual, the patent-bargain a myth, and patents a patch on the FDA. Summary of Kinsella's position (from Grok, based on the transcript and his pre-debate email exchange with O'Beirne and Voss) Stephan Kinsella's case against intellectual property, as he put it to Alex Voss before the session and then on stage, has two layers that he keeps joined: a rights argument about what property is, and a practical argument about what a free city should do when it cannot get the ideal. Voss had already framed the dispute narrowly: patents and copyrights—exclusive rights in inventions and works that bind strangers without a contract. Contracts, NDAs, employment terms, and trade secrets were set aside as different questions. Voss's sketch of Kinsella's theory (conflict over scarce means; title by appropriation or transfer; creation not an independent source of title; information as patterning of an already-owned substrate; IP as a veto over others' things) Kinsella accepted, then added history, scale of harm, and institutional design. 1. What property is for The four-minute opening is the core. We do not live in the Garden of Eden. Action uses two things: scarce means that can cause results, and knowledge that tells us how to use them. Knowledge can be copied; a hammer or a factory cannot be used two incompatible ways at once. Because people have free will, conflict over those scarce means is always possible. Property rights are the norms that let people possess and use those means peacefully—self-ownership of the body; original appropriation of unowned external resources; contract; restitution for wrongs. That, he says, is the spine of Roman law, common law, and a consistent libertarianism. Ideas do not fit. They are not “conflictable.” They exist only as the patterning of some already-owned substrate (paper, a chip, a machine). You own what you make because you already owned the inputs, not because “creation” mints a new title. Patent and copyright therefore do not add a new kind of property. They give A a legally enforceable veto over how B uses B's own press, factory, or chemicals. In the debate he calls that a nonconsensual negative easement or servitude—the same structure as a restrictive covenant, minus the neighbors' consent. Consent is the whole difference. He is explicit that he does not care about “symmetry.” A rule that everyone may sue everyone for defamation, or for welfare, would be symmetric and still unjust. First-to-the-patent-office does not even guarantee uniqueness: independent inventors are blocked. That is enough, for him, to reject the system as a matter of justice, before any spreadsheet about incentives. 2. History, legislation, and the dishonest name He adds what Voss's paragraph left out. Patent began as Crown privileges to shield favorites from competition (Statute of Monopolies, 1623). Copyright began as control of the press and unapproved speech (Statute of Anne, 1710). They did not grow out of common-law title; they were statutes. In the email he presses a further institutional point: patent and copyright cannot exist without a legislature empowered to make law. Organic court-made law—Roman law, common law, Restatements, even a scholarly compilation adopted as a code—resolves disputes over scarce things. It does not invent a 17-year monopoly in a pattern. A free city that takes common-law or Restatement principles as its base, and treats legislation as rare and suspect, has a structural reason not to enact IP at all. His Universal Principles of Liberty are meant that way: not as a statute. He tells Brian that origin is not his only argument (so the “genetic fallacy” charge misses). He also opposes trademark, defamation, and trade secret, some of which did come through common law. “Sometimes the common law gets it wrong.” The name “intellectual property” is the propaganda move: a state privilege flying the flag of property and capitalism. That is why he calls it intellectual privilege and why, in the email,...

Here's an uncomfortable question: if you replaced "Gen X" with a racial or ethnic label in a hiring conversation, would anyone tolerate it?    Dan Pontefract — leadership and corporate culture strategist, six-time author, and former Chief Learning Officer at SAP and TELUS — thinks the answer says a lot about how casually organizations discriminate by age. In this conversation, Dan traces the arc that led to his sixth book, The Future of Work Is Grey — from a "reverse ageism" encounter as a 26-year-old college administrator to a career-defining moment when, at 51, a longtime speaker bureau dropped him because they were "refreshing the roster." That sting, he admits, forced a reckoning: for two decades as a chief learning officer, he'd poured development dollars into younger employees without ever questioning who got left out. The centerpiece of the episode is Dan's "Rivers, Rocks, and Rubies" framework — a model for career stages that replaces rigid generational labels (Gen Z, Millennial, Boomer) with a fluid, non-linear way of understanding where people are in their working lives, regardless of age. He also cites new polling data on how dramatically less likely companies are to hire older candidates for AI-related roles, despite AI itself being only a few years old. Beyond the book, Dan and Peter dig into the business realities of running a solo thought leadership practice: why Dan resists being boxed into one topic, how he splits revenue across keynotes, workshops, and consulting, and why speaker bureaus often struggle to sell someone who doesn't fit a single, easily marketed lane. This one's for anyone who manages people across generations, anyone building an independent expert career, or anyone who's ever wondered whether the workplace quietly wrote them off too soon.   Three Key Takeaways: • Age bias hides in plain sight in training budgets. Organizations routinely front-load learning and development spend on younger employees while quietly deprioritizing workers past 45 — a pattern Dan admits he ran for years as a CLO without questioning it. • The Rivers, Rocks, and Rubies framework replaces generational labels with career stage. Instead of sorting people by birth year, Dan argues everyone moves through fluid (river), stable (rock), and wisdom (ruby) phases at their own pace — and no phase is superior to another. • A multi-topic thought leadership brand is harder to sell but more sustainable. Dan's refusal to niche down to one keynote topic makes him a tougher pitch for speaker bureaus, but it's let him build a business across consulting, workshops, and keynotes rather than one repeatable speech.   Dan's episode is a case study in exactly what Peter, Bill Sherman, and Naren Aryal explore in The Thought Leadership Handbook: a powerful idea — in this case, that age is an asset organizations are squandering, not a liability to manage around — only creates impact once it's shaped, packaged, and built into a sustainable business. Dan's Rivers, Rocks, and Rubies framework, his refusal to niche down to one keynote topic, and his deliberate choice to run a solo practice rather than scale a firm are all decisions the Handbook helps thought leaders navigate in their own work. If this conversation had you thinking about how to package your own expertise for a crowded market, The Thought Leadership Handbook is the field guide.   Order it today at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Bookshop, or Amplify, or learn more at thoughtleadershiphandbook.com.

Mastering the $250,000 Interview: 4 Lessons From Our Conversation With Craig A. Fleming What actually separates the candidate who walks away with a $250,000 offer from the one who walks away with “we'll be in touch”? That's the question we sat down with on this episode of A New Direction, talking with Craig A. Fleming, author of Mastering the $250,000 Interview. You can catch the full episode now on your favorite podcast platform. But whether you've already listened or you're catching up now, here's what the book — and the conversation — comes down to: the interview most people prepare for isn't the interview that's actually happening. Here are just four of the ideas and thoughts Craig shared. 1. The Interview Starts Long Before You Sit Down The biggest myth about high-stakes interviewing is that it's a performance you can improvise your way through if you're smart enough or charming enough.  At the six-figure level, nobody wins an interview by winging it. Preparation and rehearsal aren't about memorizing a script — canned answers get spotted from a mile away in an executive-level interview. They're about doing the unglamorous work beforehand so that, by the time you're in the room, you already sound like the answer to a question the company hasn't even asked out loud yet. The candidates who get the offer aren't the ones improvising the best answers. They're the ones who rehearsed until the room had nothing left to catch them off guard. 2. Every Question Has a Question Underneath It Here's where a lot of good candidates lose a great interview: they answer the question they were asked instead of the question that was actually meant. Craig give us insights that you must build skills around the idea that reading between the lines is the real skill — figuring out what a company is genuinely looking for, versus what the job posting says on paper. The book points out as well as Craig does on the show, it is rarely about whether you can technically do the job. It's about whether you can solve the specific problem that's keeping someone up at night. That means the strongest interview answers aren't the most polished ones — they're the ones that show you actually understood the problem behind the posting. 3. Your Résumé Isn't Your Life Story — It's a Sales Document One of the more useful reframes in the book: stop treating your résumé, and the interview itself, like a formality where you simply report your history. Start treating both like what they actually are — a sales pitch. The résumé's job is to get you into the room. The interview's job is to close. That shift changes everything about how you prepare. You're not there to be interesting. You're there to prove, point by point, that you're the fix for a specific, expensive problem. Every answer in a $250,000 interview should be doing sales work, whether you think of it that way or not. 4. It Doesn't End When You Leave the Room Maybe the most eye-opening piece of Mastering the $250,000 Interview: the evaluation doesn't stop at the door. Long before — and long after — you sit across from a hiring committee, there's a silent search running in the background. Your social media. Your online footprint. Everything a company can find about you without ever asking you a single question in an interview. The book's point isn't to make you paranoid. It's to make you aware. What shows up in that silent search can either back up everything you said in the interview or quietly undercut it. Either way, it's part of the interview now, whether it's on the official agenda or not. Listen to the Full Interview We covered all four of these in depth in this episode of A New Direction with Coach Jay Izso — why interview preparation matters more than raw talent, how to read what a company is really asking, why your résumé and your interview answers should both be doing sales work, and what the silent search means for how you show up online long before you ever get invited to interview. If you're heading into an interview where real stakes — and real money — are on the line, this is worth the listen. Find the episode on your favorite podcast platform — Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, or wherever you listen. And if this hit home, share it with someone who has a big interview coming up. They'll thank you for it. Craig Fleming’s book, “Mastering the $250,000 Interview: A Step-by-Step System” is simple the best book on interviewing I have ever read.  And I have read dozens of books on the subject and have taught interviewing at the college level.  While the book may be geared toward the executive interview, the lessons and structure can apply to any interview situation. Every chapter is filled with practical guidance from the psychology of how to read and interpret the job listing, to the psychology of how the interviewers think, to what your online brand and reputation may say about you that is holding you back from getting that next level job or promotion. Craig touches on topics like spending days preparing for the interview, how to express confidence without being over confident, demonstrating your value so you can demand the best salary and benefits, how to turn your resume from experience to a story that demonstrates results and so much more! This book was quite convicting for me, because I say in myself that I have developed habitual words and phrases that are not helping me in my communication.  That if I were in the interview situation would probably disqualify me pretty quickly.  If you want the edge in your next interview you must read this book.

ABOUT YOUR HOST Meet Jay Izso Executive Performance Coach  |  Host of A New Direction Every week on A New Direction, I sit down with CEOs, founders, and the researchers behind the science of leadership performance. The conversations go deep. We talk about the decisions that built companies, the mistakes that nearly destroyed them, and the personal breakthroughs that changed everything. But here's what most people don't know about me: the show is an extension of the work I do every day with executives behind closed doors. Who I Am I'm an Executive Performance Coach. I work with CEOs and founders of $5M-$50M companies who have hit a wall they can't explain. The marketing looks fine. The team is capable. The market is there. But the business won't move. The problem, almost every time, is the person running it. I find the personal behavioral patterns that are driving the business dysfunction. Then I help the CEO disrupt those patterns so the company can grow. That's it. No motivational platitudes. No vision boards. Diagnostics, intervention, results. Where This Comes From My approach comes from two places most coaches never set foot in. The farm. I grew up as a farmhand in Ithaca, Nebraska—population 100. I started working at nine years old. By the time I left for college, I'd spent a decade learning that you can't cheat the harvest, pain is part of the job, and the work has to get done whether you feel like it or not. I was fourteen the first time I had to castrate boars. Nobody was going to do it for me. That lesson never left: sometimes you have to do things afraid. The forensic psychology unit. In graduate school at Washington State University, I trained under Dr. Thomas Brigham—co-author of the Handbook of Applied Behavior Analysis—in a human behavior lab focused on real-world problems. I then served in a Clinical Psych II role at Eastern State Hospital in Medical Lake, Washington, a forensic setting where I conducted psychological evaluations of individuals charged with the most serious criminal offenses. Sixteen months assessing human behavior at its most extreme taught me how to cut through defenses, identify what's really driving someone's decisions, and see what they can't see in themselves.

Today I am chatting with Ruth Rinaldi, a former maths teacher now unschooling parent of two. We talk about what led Ruth not only to home educate her children but also to leave her career as a maths teacher and head of department, which she had worked so hard at. Ruth shares how the experience has looked for her and her family, and what it felt like to make such a huge change. We also talk about maths, of course, and the problems with how it is approached in schools. And Ruth gives us all some great tips for approaching maths without fear! I hope you enjoy the conversation!Connect with Ruthwww.joyfulmathswithruth.co.ukhttps://www.instagram.com/joyfulmathswithruth/If you'd like to support the podcast and the sharing of these stories, you can do that here.   Thank you!The Parent's Handbook to Unschooling Yourself.

In each episode, they answer a single question around design system troubles with a Q&A from the live audience.We really screwed the pooch when it came to naming design systems.

Can a company really put people first and still build a thriving workplace culture? On A New Direction with Coach Jay Izso, my guest Josh Block says yes — and he’s got fifteen years of proof. Who Is Josh Block? Josh Block spent fifteen years leading Block Imaging, growing the team from fifty people to more than four hundred, and revenue from thirty million dollars to two hundred fifteen million. He didn’t get there by squeezing more out of people — he got there by building a workplace culture rooted in trust. He went on to found Cube Mobile Imaging, expanding access to medical imaging for patients across the country, and today serves as Executive Advisor at Block Imaging. He’s also the author of the new book People Matter @Work. Josh works with executives navigating growth, brand-new managers who got the title without the training, and teams stuck in fear and disengagement — helping them reshape their workplace culture around trust, ownership, and generosity instead of pressure. Why Workplace Culture Starts With “We,” Not “Me” At the center of People Matter @Work is a simple but demanding idea: the biggest thing standing between a team and real performance often isn’t strategy, budget, or talent — it’s a leader running everything through “me.” Josh’s framework is built to shift workplace culture from isolation to ownership, and from pressure to possibility. If leadership has ever felt heavier the more responsibility you took on, this is the conversation for you. 3 Shifts That Build a Stronger Workplace Culture Josh breaks it down into three practices any leader can start using right away to strengthen their workplace culture: Lead together, not alone. Shared ownership — not hoarded decisions — is the backbone of a healthy workplace culture. Make decisions with intention. Thoughtful choices beat leading on autopilot, and they signal the kind of workplace culture you’re building. Practice transparency. Managing perception wears leaders out; honesty is what makes a workplace culture people actually trust. Whether you’re an executive navigating change, a manager who wasn’t quite ready for the promotion, or leading a team stuck in disengagement, these three shifts are the blueprint for a workplace culture where people — and performance — actually thrive. Listen to the Full Conversation Josh’s book is a playbook for building the kind of workplace culture where trust, accountability, and generosity aren’t posters on a wall — they’re how the place actually runs. Catch the full conversation with Josh Block on A New Direction with Coach Jay Izso, live and on the podcast, and get a new direction on what it actually means to lead. Josh Block’s book, “People Matter at Work: Fostering a Culture Where Team Members Thrive and Everyone Wins” is an outstanding book.  If you are a fan of “The 5 Dysfunctions of a Team” by Lencioni then you are going to love this book!  It takes a deeper look at how we will can truly build a team that builds trust and makes you organization and business more profitable. We have all heard the saying, “culture eats strategy for breakfast” well Josh Block has the proof as he takes his company to a higher stratosphere financially through a powerful workplace culture shift.  And how does he do that?  By sharing the principles of People Matter @Work. Josh literally takes us through his step of becoming a 20 something President of an already successful company and makes it even better.  He recognizes during his own humbling experience there are 3 T’s, Working Together, making Thoughtful Decisions that affect his people, and being Transparent, helps his entire workforce become safe, seen, and successful.  And the result is people take ownership of the company to want to see it succeed and in turn makes it tremendously profitable. It may sound like a risk to the average CEO, but as Josh points out the real risk was by not doing the work to make his entire team a integral part of the business.  This book is for both the current leader and the aspiring leader.  And he not only has proved, he gives you the tools and the mindset to create it for your business as well.  Really enjoyed every page of the book.  I highly recommend it.

ABOUT YOUR HOST Meet Jay Izso Executive Performance Coach  |  Host of A New Direction Every week on A New Direction, I sit down with CEOs, founders, and the researchers behind the science of leadership performance. The conversations go deep. We talk about the decisions that built companies, the mistakes that nearly destroyed them, and the personal breakthroughs that changed everything. But here's what most people don't know about me: the show is an extension of the work I do every day with executives behind closed doors. Who I Am I'm an Executive Performance Coach. I work with CEOs and founders of $5M-$50M companies who have hit a wall they can't explain. The marketing looks fine. The team is capable. The market is there. But the business won't move. The problem, almost every time, is the person running it. I find the personal behavioral patterns that are driving the business dysfunction. Then I help the CEO disrupt those patterns so the company can grow. That's it. No motivational platitudes. No vision boards. Diagnostics, intervention, results. Where This Comes From My approach comes from two places most coaches never set foot in. The farm. I grew up as a farmhand in Ithaca, Nebraska—population 100. I started working at nine years old. By the time I left for college, I'd spent a decade learning that you can't cheat the harvest, pain is part of the job, and the work has to get done whether you feel like it or not. I was fourteen the first time I had to castrate boars. Nobody was going to do it for me. That lesson never left: sometimes you have to do things afraid. The forensic psychology unit. In graduate school at Washington State University, I trained under Dr. Thomas Brigham—co-author of the Handbook of Applied Behavior Analysis—in a human behavior lab focused on real-world problems. I then served in a Clinical Psych II role at Eastern State Hospital in Medical Lake, Washington, a forensic setting where I conducted psychological evaluations of individuals charged with the most serious criminal offenses. Sixteen months assessing human behavior at its most extreme taught me how to cut through defenses, identify what's really driving someone's decisions, and see what they can't see in themselves.

What if the difference between listing your house as-is and walking away with real money came down to knowing exactly where to put $10,000 — and exactly where not to? That’s the question I dug into on this episode of Real Estate Right Now with Steve Kruger, Senior Listing and Sales Expert with Linda Craft Team, REALTORS. Steve’s team built a Fix & Flip program that lets sellers renovate before they list and pay at closing — but here’s what most people miss: the real value isn’t the financing. It’s Steve walking through a home and telling you, room by room, which fixes actually move the sale price and which ones are just money out the window. We spent real time on this, because it’s the heart of the episode — how Steve decides whether spending $10,000, $25,000, or $50,000 leaves a seller ahead at the closing table, or just leaves them poorer with a shinier house. And we didn’t stop at theory. Steve walked us through an actual before-and-after: the condition the home was in, what he recommended, what it cost, and what it sold for. That one example alone is worth the listen. If you’ve got a home that needs some love before you sell — or you’ve been told “just list it as-is” and aren’t sure that’s the right call — catch the full conversation, “Fix It, List It, Profit: The Smart Way to Sell for More.” Link in the comments. Then tell me: what’s the one improvement you’d never skip before selling?

My guest today on the Online for Authors podcast is Richie Billing, author of the book Together We Rise. Richie Billing is a writer of dark fantasy and literary fiction. His tales often explore real-world issues, zooming in on the characters and their troubles.   His short fiction has featured in, among others, The Markaz Review, Literary Fantasy Magazine, Shlock! and Kzine, with stories adapted for BBC radio, translated into Italian, and taught in Swedish secondary schools.   His debut novel, Pariah's Lament, was published by Of Metal and Magic Publishing in March 2021. His first novella, a political fantasy called Together We Rise, came out in March 2025.   Richie also hosts the podcast The Fantasy Writers' Toolshed, a venture inspired by readers of his acclaimed craft book, A Fantasy Writers' Handbook.   When not writing, Richie works as an editor and digital marketer and teaches creative writing both online and in his home city of Liverpool.   In my book review, I stated Together We Rise is a fantasy action adventure by Richie Billing. This story is seen through the eyes of eight very different individuals who all live in a city that is falling apart. The citizens are angry. The government doesn't care. People are hurting, starving, and hopeless - unless you happen to be one of the wealthy ones.   But what happens when people who otherwise have nothing in common come together in anger and say no more? At first, it is simple resistance. Eventually, it turns to bloodshed.   I like the characters because they are real and imperfect. They have to make difficult choices and don't always choose well - or choose how I would choose in a time when morality is easier to discern.   Although a bit dark, it is strongly character-driven, and I think you will like it.   Subscribe to Online for Authors to learn about more great books! https://www.youtube.com/@onlineforauthors?sub_confirmation=1   You can follow Author Richie Billing Website: https://richiebilling.com/ IG: @richiewritesgrimdark FB: @richiebillingwriter X: @magpie_Richie LinkedIn: @Richie Billing   Purchase Together We Rise on Amazon: Paperback: https://amzn.to/4yfZbr3 Ebook: https://amzn.to/4pi1LsE   Teri M Brown, Author and Podcast Host: https://www.terimbrown.com FB: @TeriMBrownAuthor IG: @terimbrown_author X: @terimbrown1   Want to be a guest on Online for Authors?

Tune in for a discussion with the editors of the De Gruyter Handbook of the Psychology of Terrorism (2026), Clark McCauley, Ph.D., Sophia Moskalenko, Ph.D., and Gina Ligon, Ph.D., on terrorist case studies, the value of understanding ideology, the two pyramids model of radicalization to terrorism, the power of music in shaping extreme identity, and more. The discussion is hosted by NCITE Project Manager Sara Vetter. "It's very easy to be led astray by the stories that terrorists tell, but as psychologists we know that people don't often understand their own motivation. And then they have incentives to misrepresent to themselves and others." — Moskalenko "I would say the biggest picture contribution of this volume to scholars and practitioners alike is the framing of the problem as an inter-group conflict problem, and not a problem of how these weird people got these weird ideas in their heads." — McCauley Guests Clark McCauley, Ph.D. | Research Professor of Psychology, Bryn Mawr College Sophia Moskalenko, Ph.D. | Assistant Professor of Psychology, Latvia University Gina Ligon, Ph.D. | NCITE Director

You will die. Your data will not.The afterlife of our information is a recent phenomenon, and some of the companies with the most to sort through are still just figuring it out.As far back as 2007, Facebook was forced to reckon with mass grief when users asked the company to maintain the profile pages of the 32 victims killed by a school shooter at Virginia Tech that year. Those pages became de facto memorials for loved ones to fill with comments, and today, memorialization has become a full-fledged feature on both Facebook and Instagram. Platforms like YouTube, Pinterest, and LinkedIn—launched with likely zero strategy for a user's death—now have procedures for next-of-kin to request that a deceased person's account be deactivated.Now, think about all the other ways your data can linger after death.Every year, people accumulate more and digital stuff—email addresses, social media profiles, contact lists, domain names, subscription services, online banking accounts, and the phones, laptops, and tablets that hold it all—and every year, as that digital stuff accumulates, it compounds into ever more problems for someone else to sort out. Here, a small industry of digital estate planners have cropped up, helping families retrieve and preserve anything valuable, no matter how digital, from Spotify playlists, to poignant social media posts that mattered, to the photos stored on a phone.And where retrieval fails, artificial intelligence has offered an attempt at comfort. The chatbot service Replika launched in 2015 after its founder uploaded a dead friend's text messages. HereAfter AI reportedly let users upload voice recordings to power a chatbot that sounded and spoke like the deceased. Film studios have pursued the same idea for entertainment, seeking to portray deceased actors in future films.Surprisingly, almost none of this activity is governed by law, said Tamara Kneese, author of the 2023 book “Death Glitch: How Techno-Solutionism Fails Us in This Life and Beyond.”“By and large, there is not a great legal mechanism for protecting the privacy rights of the dead,” said Kneese. “It may not be just that a grieving loved one decides to use a bunch of your data from all of your podcasts to create a chatbot to simulate interacting with you after you're dead, but it may be that a company chooses, in some way, to use an aspect of your personality, of your demeanor, of your voice, of your likeness after your death without anyone really being aware.”Today, on the Lock and Code podcast with host David Ruiz, we speak with Kneese—Senior Research Scientist at Partnership on AI—about who owns a person's data after they die, why every platform has invented its own private policy for the dead, and how the technology built to keep the dead close can vanish just as suddenly as they did.Or worse yet, as Kneese warned for those relying heavily on certain technologies in grief:“The company gets sold to someone else or disappears, goes bankrupt, and you no longer have that outlet or place for interaction when you're mourning another time.”Tune in today.You can also find us on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and whatever preferred podcast platform you use.For all our cybersecurity coverage, visit Malwarebytes Labs at malwarebytes.com/blog.Show notes and credits:Intro Music: “Spellbound” by Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 Licensehttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/Outro Music: “Good God” by Wowa (unminus.com)Further reading:Fartein Hauan Nilsen, “Caring for the Algorithm: Care, Love, and the Relational Personhood of Chatbots,” Somatosphere, February 26, 2026Fartein Hauan Nilsen, “Therapeutic ideology and AI personhood: an anthropological inquiry into AI companionship,” a chapter from “Handbook on Anthropology and Artificial Intelligence,” Edward Elgar Publishing, July 21, 2026University of Birmingham, “New Model Rules mark meaningful step towards digital inheritance laws,” July 16, 2026Edina Harbinja, “Governing Digital Immortality: Artificial Intelligence, Deadbots and the Law,” Edward Elgar Publishing, to be published September 2026Lilian Edwards and Edina Harbinja, “Protecting Post-Mortem Privacy: Reconsidering the Privacy Interests of the Deceased in a Digital World,” May 2013, revised November 2013Lilian Edwards, Edina Harbinja, and Marisa McVey, “Governing Ghostbots,” Computer Law & Security Review, November 2023SAG-AFTRA, “SAG-AFTRA Statement on Today's Passing of California Assembly Bill 1836,” August 31, 2024Listen up—Malwarebytes doesn't just talk cybersecurity, we provide it.Protect yourself from online attacks that threaten your identity, your files, your system, and your financial well-being with our exclusive offer for Malwarebytes Premium for Lock and Code listeners.

Send a Text to the Moms - please include your contact info if you want a response. thanks!Technology is changing the way we think about mental health care—but what does that mean for families living with schizophrenia and other serious mental illnesses? Can technology actually make life easier for the people in the trenches—and how can families separate the genuinely useful tools from the hype?Nicole Gillen knows what it means to be a mom navigating the complicated world of serious mental illness. In her new book, Connected Care, she explores how technology—from apps and telehealth to AI and other digital tools—can become part of the care journey. But with so many new tools appearing every day, how do we know what is actually helpful, what is safe, and what might simply add to the overwhelm? Today, Nicole joins us to talk about the possibilities of connected care—and what families need to know before they click, download, or sign up.Nicole Drapeau Gillen is a mother, advocate, and author who translates the fast-moving landscape of technology in serious mental illness care into guidance families and clinicians can use. When she found herself thrust into caregiving for a loved one with serious mental illness, with no direction on how to help, she turned that into a mission, writing two books and building an ongoing effort to bring families and clinicians into the conversation.Her first book, Schizophrenia and Related Disorders: A Handbook for Caregivers, is a reference for every stage of caregiving, endorsed by Dr. E. Fuller Torrey as a must-read for SMI caregivers. Her second, Connected Care: A Practical Guide to Technology for Serious Mental Illness, maps apps, AI tools, telepsychiatry, and brain-based treatments for a field moving faster than anyone can track — work Dr. Akira Sawa, Director of the Johns Hopkins Schizophrenia Center, has said "directly addresses" a significant gap.Links"Connected Care: A Practical Guide to Technology for Serious Mental Illness""Schizophrenia and Other Related Disorders.

Love to hear from you; “Send us a Text Message”Anxiety is everywhere, but what if it isn't just a personal problem, it's a warning light? We sit with the hard reality Gen Z is naming out loud: depression, dark thoughts, and a constant sense that something is off. Then we make a bold case that your heart might be telling the truth about the world around you, and that the fastest way to lose yourself is to numb that signal with nonstop distraction.We use the “frog in the boiling pot” to explain how whole generations have normalizes insanity little by little. And how to make a jail break! This isn't a rant, it's a reset. We share a simple, realistic plan: “knees before the phone,” and the Claymore 10-minute morning prayer ritual, then reading five minutes out of the Handbook at night.

ALSO SEE: SynopsisIn this episode of the IPS Deprogram, the host explores the concept of the “Metascript,” a framework for understanding how world history is allegedly manufactured through the synchronization of news events with entertainment media. The discussion focuses on recent celebrity news, upcoming media releases, and historical “psyops” to argue that public reality is a pre-scripted hyperreality rather than a series of organic occurrences.Topics of Discussion* The Panettiere-Mangione Connection: Analyzing the recent death of actress Hayden Panettiere, her connections to solar eclipse symbolism in the show Heroes, and the theory that her brother, Jansen, may have been repurposed as the figure Luigi Mangione.* Class Warfare Psyops: Investigating how the story of Luigi Mangione reflects concurrent programming found in the Netflix series The Madness, involving themes of tech billionaires, ghost guns, and organized civil unrest.* Metascripters and Narrative Control: A look at prominent film directors like James Cameron, Christopher Nolan, and Stanley Kubrick, whose works are described as coordinated with psychological operations (psyops) to shape the public's perception of history.* The Trump-Obama Proxy Patterns: Examining the Netflix series A Man in Full (based on a 1998 Tom Wolfe novel) and other films to show how fictional “proxies” for Donald Trump and Barack Obama are used to foreshadow or mirror real-world political conflicts.* Symbolism in Manufactured Events: Discussing recurring “hoax indicators,” such as the presence of shoes at crisis scenes, the use of numerology (specifically 1.6/January 6th and 9/11), and the “engineered coincidences” of high-profile deaths.* The Handbook for the Recently Deprogrammed: Announcing the second edition of a manual designed to help individuals step “off the world stage” by systemizing the deconstruction of media narratives.* Predictability as Proof: Asserting that the ability to forecast news events based on entertainment cues proves the non-random nature of modern history.Key Quotes* “This is life following Netflix or more accurately, PSYOPs synchronized with Netflix.”* “The synchronization between entertainment and psyops is a consistent facet.”* “What we're looking at here is a manufactured reality, a pre-scripted history.”* “If you can find a real life event that gets national coverage, global coverage that corresponds because it's synchronized with something in entertainment... let me know.”* “Our future is augmented. Our future is pre-written.”Metascript defines the synchronization of entertainment and news as a structural and consistent facet of modern reality rather than a collection of random occurrences. This synchronization is characterized as “engineered coincidences” designed to manufacture history and shape public worldview.The sources detail several key aspects of how this synchronization functions:* Engineered Coincidences: The synchronization is not considered mystical but a “mundane” form of propaganda that can be explained through empirical research and observation. It involves real-life events receiving global media coverage that correspond specifically with themes or plots in entertainment.* Predictability: A core tenet of the Metascript model is that these alignments are predictable. The speaker argues that the ability to forecast events based on entertainment cues proves that the news is pre-planned rather than random.* The Role of “Metascripters”: Film directors and writers (such as Christopher Nolan, James Cameron, and Stanley Kubrick) are described as “metascripters” whose works are coordinated with psychological operations (psyops) to help manufacture history.* Concurrent and Predictive Programming:* Concurrent Programming occurs when entertainment is released alongside matching news events, such as the Netflix series The Madness featuring a storyline similar to the concurrent news story of Luigi Mangione.* Predictive Programming involves entertainment foreshadowing future events, such as a 1998 Tom Wolfe novel containing nuances that allegedly mirrored Donald Trump's life in 2024.* A “Major Hoax Indicator”: Within this framework, the occurrence of synchronized entertainment or drills alongside a news event is considered “proof positive” that the event was faked or simulated.* Hyperreality: The result of this synchronization is a “fictional universe superimposed over the real world,” creating a “hyperreality” where it becomes difficult for the public to separate real events from staged “works”.

Welcome to Bytopia, the Upper Plane for people who looked at Heaven and said, "This is nice, but could we make everyone work a little harder?" The weather is lovely, the neighbors are aggressively helpful, the economy is apparently powered by ethical commerce, and there's another entire world hanging upside down over your head. Also, there are adamantine dragons, because apparently even paradise needs something capable of turning your adventuring party into a fine red mist. Pack a lunch, bring your climbing gear, and try not to become so content that you forget you were supposed to leave. Show Notes This week on the RPGBOT.Podcast, we head to Bytopia, D&D's plane of good neighbors, hard work, beautiful weather, and deeply questionable planetary physics. Tyler, Randall, and Ash explore Bytopia's two facing layers, the people and creatures who live there, and what happens when an entire plane is infused with enough goodwill that visitors might simply decide everything is fine and never go home. We dig into travel between the layers, life and trade in Bytopia, intelligent plants, adamantine dragons, and the planar marketplace of Tradegate, where even the currency seems determined to make capitalism behave itself. Along the way, we consider the strange implications of an afterlife built around productive happiness and tackle the question of the week: if you built an "oops all" party using ancestries outside the Player's Handbook, what glorious collection of weirdos would you bring to the table? It's paradise. There's nice weather. Everyone is helpful. Naturally, we're suspicious. Key Takeaways Bytopia is good, but not lazy: The plane emphasizes community, cooperation, work, and the satisfaction that comes from building something worthwhile. The geography is wonderfully ridiculous: Its two layers face each other, creating one of the strangest landscapes in the D&D multiverse. Being happy can apparently be a planar hazard: Bytopia's pervasive goodwill and contentment could make visitors surprisingly reluctant to leave. Tradegate takes ethical commerce seriously: Its unusual currency and trading rules reinforce Bytopia's broader themes of fairness and cooperation. The wildlife gets weird: Intelligent plants and adamantine dragons help ensure that "pleasant Upper Plane" does not mean "nothing interesting happens here." Bytopia has strong adventure potential: Its unusual physics, settlements, trade, inhabitants, and planar travel offer considerably more than a peaceful celestial vacation. Oops All Weirdos remains a valid party-building strategy: The episode's non-PHB ancestry discussion proves that sometimes the best adventuring party looks like everyone ignored the character creation instructions.

You May Think You have Authentic Leadership… But Reality is You and I are Hiding Things We Don’t Want to Look At What are you hiding — and what is it actually costing you? Not just in your business, but in your marriage, your friendships, the relationship with your own kids. That’s the question at the center of my conversation tomorrow at 5pm Eastern, LIVE on A New Direction, with Tyler Dickerhoof, author of the brand-new book The Things We Hide. If you’ve ever wondered why so many high performers still feel alone at the top, this is a conversation about the hidden barriers to authentic leadership — and how to finally tear them down. Tyler isn’t theorizing about authentic leadership from the sidelines. He built businesses generating over $500 million in combined sales, and sat on John Maxwell’s Network Marketing Advisory Council. But he’ll tell you the whole time he was doing it, he was hiding — behind the results, behind the intensity, behind the belief that his worth was tied to how much he knew and how hard he could push. It took losing his younger brother Joel as a teenager, and decades of pushing people away while pushing through everything alone, before Tyler finally turned around and faced what he’d spent 25 years running from. That turn is exactly what separates performance from authentic leadership.Shorten with AI That’s the real subject of The Things We Hide: the hidden barriers that keep capable, driven people from ever leading — or living — authentically. Tyler breaks it down into what he calls the Four Walls of Insecurity: Intensity, Inactivity, Insensitivity, and Isolation. These are the defense mechanisms so many high achievers mistake for strengths. We’re going to talk about why “intensity is a bulldozer” that clears a path for success but leaves relationships in the wreckage. We’re going to talk about the lie that leadership has to be lonely. And we’re going to unpack his core message, one every leader chasing authentic leadership needs to hear: what you hide controls you, what you face transforms you. So clear your schedule, and join us for a real conversation about hidden barriers, vulnerability, and what authentic leadership actually looks like once the performance drops away. Bring your questions, bring your comments, and bring whatever wall you’ve been hiding behind — because Tyler and I are going to talk about how to tear it down without tearing yourself apart in the process. This isn’t just another leadership interview. Tyler Dickerhoof’s book, “The Things We Hide: A Guide to Identifying Hidden Barriers and Leading with Authenticity” is a deep, insightful view into ourselves that most of us do not want to look at.  And yet, is fundamentally required if we want to achieve both true significance and success. We all have walls.  We all have fears and insecurities.  For most of us we will never admit them throughout our lifetime.  Instead, when our insecurities are triggered, we become intense, maybe we become inactive hoping this will just go away, perhaps it we resort to becoming insensitive because the more calluses that we have we don’t have to feel others’ pain, or maybe we just isolate and disappear.  Maybe it is some combination of all of these. The point is…our insecurities will show up. So what do we do about it?  Well this is where this book separates itself from so many others.  Tyler includes exercises and free assessments in the book that if you choose to take on the mission can start moving you onto the path of true significance, success, and real authentic leadership. This book is not going to be easy.  It is going to challenge you. It is going to make you uncomfortable, but growth comes from being comfortable getting uncomfortable. This book will make you think and help you grow if you choose to follow his guidelines.  I loved every page! Get your copy of The Things We Hide by clicking here!

The conversations go deep. We talk about the decisions that built companies, the mistakes that nearly destroyed them, and the personal breakthroughs that changed everything. But here's what most people don't know about me: the show is an extension of the work I do every day with executives behind closed doors. Who I Am I'm an Executive Performance Coach. I work with CEOs and founders of $5M-$50M companies who have hit a wall they can't explain. The marketing looks fine. The team is capable. The market is there. But the business won't move. The problem, almost every time, is the person running it. I find the personal behavioral patterns that are driving the business dysfunction. Then I help the CEO disrupt those patterns so the company can grow. That's it. No motivational platitudes. No vision boards. Diagnostics, intervention, results. Where This Comes From My approach comes from two places most coaches never set foot in. The farm. I grew up as a farmhand in Ithaca, Nebraska—population 100. I started working at nine years old. By the time I left for college, I'd spent a decade learning that you can't cheat the harvest, pain is part of the job, and the work has to get done whether you feel like it or not. I was fourteen the first time I had to castrate boars. Nobody was going to do it for me. That lesson never left: sometimes you have to do things afraid. The forensic psychology unit. In graduate school at Washington State University, I trained under Dr. Thomas Brigham—co-author of the Handbook of Applied Behavior Analysis—in a human behavior lab focused on real-world problems. I then served in a Clinical Psych II role at Eastern State Hospital in Medical Lake, Washington, a forensic setting where I conducted psychological evaluations of individuals charged with the most serious criminal offenses. Sixteen months assessing human behavior at its most extreme taught me how to cut through defenses, identify what's really driving someone's decisions, and see what they can't see in themselves.

Today on The Gist, guest host Bryan Green shares an interview with Derrick Palmer, co-founder of the Amazon Labor Union and co-author of Handbook for the Revolution: Building a More Perfect Union for the 21st Century. Palmer reflects on his time working inside Amazon's JFK8 warehouse on Staten Island, the dangerous working conditions and lack of sick time during the pandemic, and how he and Chris Smalls built an independent, worker-led organizing effort that successfully unionized the facility. Finally, in the spiel, Mike Pesca dissects Hollywood's obsession with animated movies about anthropomorphic animals and pitches a hyper-specific, meta-cinematic alternative of his own.
