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.

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.

A Handbook for Modern Rebellion, part 12: Leave Your Judgment at the Door 

Ozempic, Wegovy and Mounjaro are changing the conversation around obesity and weight management. For many people, GLP-1 receptor agonists can mean less hunger, fewer cravings and relief from the constant “food noise” that can make weight loss feel impossible.But as these medicines become more mainstream, the conversation is becoming more complex. Weight loss is not automatically the same as better health - and when appetite drops, it can become harder to eat enough protein, fibre and essential micronutrients, while protecting muscle mass matters more than ever.In this episode of Vision of Health, Dr Frankie Jackson-Spence is joined by nutrition therapist Ian Marber, author of The GLP-1 Handbook, to look beyond the headlines. They explore how GLP-1 medications such as Ozempic and Mounjaro work, who they may be suitable for, the nutritional considerations during treatment, and how to use them as part of a sustainable approach to long-term health.With more than 25 years of clinical experience, including a practice on London's Harley Street, Ian brings a practical and grounded perspective to one of the biggest conversations in modern health.What You'll LearnWhat happens nutritionally when people start eating significantly less. Why protein intake and maintaining muscle mass are so important during weight loss. How rapid weight loss can affect metabolism and body composition. Why fibre, micronutrients and overall diet quality matter when taking GLP-1s. What a realistic and balanced approach to eating can look like during treatment. Why resistance training plays an important role alongside medication. What happens when people stop taking GLP-1 medications and why weight regain is common. Practical ways to help reduce the risk of rebound weight gain. What to consider before starting a GLP-1 medication. Why obesity remains such a major global health issue. How GLP-1 medications moved from diabetes treatment into mainstream weight management. Whether weight gain is really about willpower or whether biology plays a much bigger role. How these medications affect appetite and the brain's response to food. The potential health benefits beyond weight loss, including metabolic and heart health. Who these medications may be suitable for and who they may not be suitable for. GLP-1 medications can be powerful tools, but they are not the whole picture. What you eat, how you move and how you maintain muscle all matter too.The goal isn't simply to lose weight. It's to support your health and build something that lasts.Learn More About Ian Marber: Ian Marber's websiteFollow Ian on Instagram: @ianmarber_Follow Dr Frankie Jackson-Spence: @drfrankiejsAnd don't forget to follow Vision of Health on Instagram too: @visionofhealthpodIf you learnt something from this episode, share it with someone who is trying to understand GLP-1 medications such as Ozempic and Mounjaro, how they work and whether they might be right for them.

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!

SynopsisThe broadcast begins with a dismissal of failed “plasma apocalypse” rumors and a general critique of “doom boofing,” where the host argues that doomsday predictions are often a lack of sincerity that can be tested by asking the claimant for a loan. The central theme of the episode is the “metascript,” the theory that history is prefabricated and synchronized with mass entertainment.Stephen King as a “Meta-scriptor”: The host discusses King's novel The Long Walk, noting parallels between the main character (number 47) and Donald Trump (often referred to as 47), framing the political narrative as a “dead man walking” script.The “Simulated” Death of Charlie Kirk: A significant portion of the show is dedicated to deconstructing the death of Charlie Kirk, which Ozman claims was a “simulated death” involving squibs and crisis actors (including Erica Kirk and a “palm gun” subplot) rather than a real assassination. He critiques “Trutherville” for accepting the death as real while only debating the culprit.Political Archetypes: Ozman analyzes the shifting media portrayal of “Trump-esque” and “Musk-type” characters in shows like The Boys, Civil War, and The Madness, noting a transition from these characters surviving attempts on their lives to being killed off in 2024.The Mandela Effect and PSYOPs: The Mandela Effect is characterized as “cognitive sabotage” or a government mind virus used to gaslight the public into questioning reality rather than fake news.Media and Alienology: The host argues that “alien invasion” narratives are used to condition the public for a “one world system” and that the demonization of both extraterrestrials and terrestrial “aliens” (immigrants) are parts of the same bifurcated psyop.The host concludes by discussing his “off-world stage perspective,” which seeks to provide a map out of the “Truman Show” of mainstream and alternative media. He also mentions technical efforts to use AI for “press release” automation to ensure this perspective is cataloged in search results and announces the upcoming second edition of the Handbook for the Recently Deprogrammed.

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.

Dealing with Imperfections in Marriage By Dr. Mufti Abdur-Rahman Mangera Every marriage is built on two imperfect people striving towards a shared life. The key to a successful and lasting relationship lies not in finding perfection, but in learning how to navigate each other's shortcomings with patience, wisdom, and compassion. In this insightful talk, Dr. Mufti Abdur-Rahman Mangera draws upon decades of experience as an Islamic scholar, marriage counsellor, and author of The Handbook of a Healthy Muslim Marriage to explore the realities of married life. Combining authentic Islamic guidance with practical counselling insights, he addresses the challenges that couples commonly face and offers constructive approaches to fostering understanding, resilience, and emotional intimacy. Whether you are preparing for marriage, newly married, or have been together for many years, this session provides valuable principles for managing expectations, resolving conflict, strengthening communication, and nurturing a marriage rooted in mercy and mutual respect.

The topic of this episode is, “How can the average American influence a member of Congress?”A lot of Americans feel no connection to the US Congress. If you asked them, they probably could not name their members in the House of Representatives and their Senators. And few voters have had a conversation with their legislators, or have tried to persuade them by sending a letter or email to their legislators.I am not picking on the average voter. I can tell you that before I started writing a doctoral dissertation on Congress in my late 20s, I had never been in contact with a representative or Senator. It simply had not occurred to me, nor did I believe that if I asked these people in suits who were hundreds of miles away from me, they would help me.What was lost on me and is lost on so many other Americans is this basic truth: if you don't tell Congress what you want, then how can you expect it to do what you want? Voting for candidates who support policies you prefer is important, but it's not enough. You need to communicate to your legislators to remind them of what you want and to let them know that your vote in the next election is not to be taken for granted.So how can the average American get his voice heard on Capitol Hill? Here to help me answer this question is Brad Fitch, the author of the book, The Citizen's Handbook for Influencing Elected Officials (Sunwater, 2025). Brad knows an awful lot about Capitol Hill—he has been there for 40 years and previously served as the CEO of the Congressional Management Foundation and a congressional staffer.Read the full transcript of the episode here.

In this episode of The Pharmacist's Voice Podcast, I talk with Ohio pharmacist Dan Krinsky about writing, co-authoring, and editing. This is Episode 22 in the Pharmacist Authors Series. Unlike most episodes in the series, our conversation does not focus on one specific book. Dan has written and edited many types of professional content, including continuing education and journal articles, newsletters, patient education materials, business proposals, and pharmacy reference resources. Dan first appeared on the podcast in Episode 133, when we discussed his pharmacy career and pharmacogenomics. This time, writing gets the spotlight. Dan shares practical advice for pharmacists, pharmacy students, pharmacy technicians, and pharmacy professors who want to begin writing or expand their writing experience. Dan's contact information, website, and social media links  Dan Krinsky BS, MS, RPh, FAPhA on LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/dan-krinsky-bs-ms-rph-fapha-a8537a/  Dan's email dkrinsky@educare-4u.com  EduCare4U, LLC website https://www.educare-4u.com  PGx101, LLC on LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/company/pgx101  The Pharmacist's Voice Podcast Episode 133 featuring Dan Krinsky About Dan Krinsky B.S., M.S., R.Ph., FAPhA (July 2026) Dan is business owner, educator, entrepreneur and pharmacist who is passionate about advancing patient care and the pharmacy profession.  He owns 2 businesses:  EduCare4U, LLC, (focused on education and patient care) and PGx101, LLC (focused on pharmacogenomics education and practice implementation).  Mr. Krinsky is currently a Professor at the LECOM School of Pharmacy, serving as a lecturer, committee member, and student advisor.  He is a Fellow of the American Pharmacists Association and an active member of the Medication Management Special Interest Group.  Other ventures include working with providers to optimize patients' drug therapy; professional writing; creation of certificate training programs, and new business development.  Mr. Krinsky is Editor-in-Chief and Section Editor for the American Pharmacists Association publication 'Handbook of Nonprescription Drugs:  An Interactive Approach to Self-Care.' Mr. Krinsky's areas of expertise include community pharmacy practice, drug information, patient counseling and education, OTCs, natural products, pharmacogenomics, and developing and implementing medication therapy and disease state management programs.  His primary professional goal is to 'pay it forward', finding ways to make the profession better for the next generation of pharmacists.     Questions and abbreviated answers from our conversation How did writing become part of your professional life? Dan's first major writing project was his master's thesis in pharmacokinetics. Writing did not come naturally at first, but he discovered that he enjoyed gathering information and turning it into something useful for an audience. How can someone decide whether writing is right for them? Start with a topic you care about. Identify the audience, look for gaps in available information, and find a mentor or support network. You do not need to work alone. Should new writers start small or go directly to writing a book? Dan recommends beginning with an article, newsletter, or another smaller project when possible. Smaller projects provide quicker feedback and help writers build skills and confidence. Someone who wants to start with a book should narrow the topic, identify the audience, create an outline, set deadlines, and seek feedback early. What has Dan written? His work includes newsletters, business proposals, patient advisory leaflets, consumer health information, journal and continuing education articles, and two co-authored point-of-care resources: the Natural Therapeutics Pocket Guide and the Drug-Induced Nutrient Depletion Handbook. He has also contributed to multiple editions of APhA's Handbook of Nonprescription Drugs as an author and editor. How are writing, co-authoring, and editing different? An author creates the content. Co-authors share responsibility and need clear roles, flexibility, and communication. An editor improves accuracy, organization, clarity, and usefulness while protecting the author's voice. When should an author involve an editor? As early as possible. An editor can help shape the audience, scope, outline, organization, and flow before the author invests months in the wrong direction. Early feedback is usually easier to handle than dozens of changes at the end. How can someone find a useful topic? Pay attention to recurring patient questions, conversations, media claims, and gaps in health information. The final product does not need to be a book. It could be an article, handout, script, social media post, or educational program. What keeps people from starting? Dan identifies three common barriers: waiting to become "the expert," fear of criticism, and lack of structure. Know what you know, recognize what you do not know, and build a network that can help fill the gaps. How can pharmacists develop a writing habit? Schedule writing time, set specific goals, work backward from deadlines, and use an accountability partner. A detailed outline makes a large project feel more manageable. Where can beginners find legitimate writing opportunities? Consider professional associations, colleges of pharmacy, health systems, community pharmacies, continuing education companies, consumer health websites, and digital health companies. Build a portfolio with writing samples, areas of expertise, testimonials, and other communication experience. How long should someone give writing before deciding it is not for them? There is no single timeline. A newsletter article may take a month; a book may take 12 to 18 months. Set realistic deadlines for each project, start small, and give yourself time to learn. What is Dan's final advice for aspiring authors? Find a mentor, be patient, expect revisions, learn from feedback, and enjoy the process. Writing may not be the right path for everyone, but it can be a meaningful way to educate patients, serve the profession, and create new opportunities.

3 Hard Truths for a Leadership Mindset Shift Are you struggling to transition from a high-performing technical expert to an effective people manager? On the next live episode of A New Direction, best-selling author Steven Riddle joins us for Part 2 of our deep dive into his book, Falling into Leadership. Join us as we tackle the critical leadership mindset shift required when stepping into executive roles. Many new managers fall into the trap of leading through the exact technical skills that got them promoted, failing to realize that team management and executive growth require an entirely different playbook. One of the biggest hurdles in leadership development is mastering difficult conversations in leadership. Why do founders and executives endlessly rehearse tough performance reviews or confrontational talks in their head, only to avoid having them altogether? Steven exposes how surface-level communication erodes trust and why moving toward active listening and practical empathy is essential for creating psychological safety. By understanding the nuance between empathy, sympathy, and apathy, leaders can stop micromanaging and start asking powerful questions that build real engagement and clarity. As you climb the organizational ladder, executive loneliness becomes an unmistakable reality. The higher you advance, the more isolated decision-making feels, making emotional intelligence and self-awareness non-negotiable tools for survival. We discuss how resilient leadership helps senior executives navigate uncertainty, adapt to constant workplace change, and lead with steady character rather than relying on sheer force of personality. True adaptability isn’t about avoiding stress; it's about maintaining presence under pressure so you can guide your team through disruption without getting knocked off center. Ultimately, the leadership mindset shift is from task-based management to sustainable leadership requires mastering effective delegation and structuring high-impact 1-on-1 meetings that foster team accountability. Strong organizational culture isn’t built top-down through rigid policy; it is forged daily through authentic connection, shared values, and mutual respect. Tune in to New Direction, to learn how to focus on the human inputs that drive high performance and leave behind a lasting leadership legacy. Steve Riddle's book, “Falling Into Leadership: How Leaders Emerge, Grow and Lead With Purpose” is a play by play guide into coaching a new leader. In Steve Riddle's approach we are introduced to a new emerging leader in Sally who is open and willing to change as a leader, but is uncertain of the steps. In 8 sessions Steve Riddle walks us through his process of coaching that helps you have a Leadership Mindset Shift to help you go from promoted to great. Steve Riddle has a very organized approach that starts with focusing on the leader's own self-awareness. His big push is if that self-awareness is only the beginning, but without it, you will never get to the next steps of growth. His methodology of using questions to push the client are both refreshing and eye opening for all of us.  And that leadership mindset shift is fundamentally necessary for growth. Behind the curtain he takes through the importance of emotional intelligence, communication, adaptability, resilience, and what true accountability looks like. He emphasizes the importance of the leaders role of empowering, inspiring, and influencing those the leader leads, and helps us recognize that as a leader our responsibility is to leave a legacy of leaders in our employees. Packed with tons of insights and thought provoking questions, and leadership mindset shifts, the book, in my opinion is using the case of Sally to take a closer look at ourself. Some of our dysfunctional mindsets, becoming more self-aware and becoming the leader we had always hoped we would become. Please reach out and thank the awesome sponsors of A New Direction: Every real estate agent is asking the same question right now: is AI going to help me, or leave me behind? Here’s the honest answer — the agents who’ve learned to use it are already pulling ahead. They’re writing listings in minutes, answering every lead the second it comes in, and following up until customers become clients, all without adding hours to their week. And if you’re not using AI yet — because you’re not sure how, or it honestly feels a little intimidating — you’re not behind. You’re exactly who this was built for. You don’t need to be technical or “good with computers.” You just need a clear, plain‑English path to putting these tools to work in your business. That’s what AIREpro Certification is: a step‑by‑step course, built by real estate coaches for real estate agents, that teaches you to use AI to grow your business and make more money. Convert and close more of the leads you already have. Improve your marketing while saving marketing dollars.

Contact our friends Linda Craft Team at www.LindaCraft.com 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.  

Wizards of the Coast has revealed its plans for the future of Dungeons & Dragons, and apparently the strategy is simple: fix D&D Beyond, return to Gen Con, outsource adventures to people who know what they are doing, cross over with World of Warcraft, and traumatize a convention hall full of children with a Dark Sun trailer featuring a freshly removed spine. Tyler attended the secret briefing and emerged with five pages of notes, several enormous announcements, and absolutely no idea what D&D Icons are. So prepare yourselves for new books, old settings, digital upgrades, live puppies, and enough upcoming content to make your wallet roll a death save. EnWorld: President of WotC Steps Down Forbidden Lands (affiliate link) Show Notes Wizards of the Coast has revealed its roadmap for Dungeons & Dragons through 2027, and Tyler is here to unload everything he learned during an embargoed presentation. We begin at Gen Con, which Wizards plans to turn into the recurring home for its annual D&D announcements. There will be a massive convention presence, live events, streams, adoptable puppies, and something called D&D Icons. Everyone involved seems extremely excited about Icons. Unfortunately, nobody appears capable of explaining what they actually are. D&D Beyond is also getting a substantial overhaul. Wizards plans to introduce tools for finding groups, allow local game stores to advertise events, and form an official partnership with StartPlaying. The mobile app is being redesigned, the character builder and rules engine are being rebuilt, and new DM tools, improved search, and campaign-creation features are somewhere on the horizon. Several details remain vague, partly because the presentation's prerecorded D&D Beyond video stopped working halfway through. Technology! On the video game side, Wizards appears to be pulling back from its plan to release a major game every year. Several projects have reportedly been canceled, but Warlock and Exodus remain in development. Warlock will feature a protagonist whose patron is Tasha, while Exodus is shaping up as a science-fiction RPG with strong Mass Effect energy and a tabletop tie-in that nobody on the podcast entirely understands. The tabletop schedule begins with Arcana Unleashed, a large rules expansion containing eight subclasses, ten backgrounds, twenty-nine feats, thirty-three spells, group patrons, magical factions, forty-seven magic items, and nineteen creature stat blocks. It will also introduce evolving magic items that can grow alongside the characters using them. Its companion campaign, Deadfall, is an espionage-focused adventure running from levels 11 through 20. The characters must save Thay by opposing Szass Tam, which means the situation has become so dire that saving Thay somehow qualifies as the good outcome. The Season of Champions brings a full Dungeons & Dragons crossover with World of Warcraft. The book is being led by longtime D&D designer and Warcraft fan James Wyatt and will include eleven species, six subclasses, iconic locations, recognizable characters, dungeons, monsters designed to provide a raid-like experience, a DM screen, and a map pack with a digital adventure. It will also come in three different editions, allowing Horde and Alliance fans to continue fighting the most important battle of all: which logo belongs on the front of the book. Then comes Dark Sun. Wizards is presenting Athas as the first mature D&D setting, complete with shrink-wrapped books, content warnings, extreme violence, and a trailer that apparently wastes no time separating people from their spinal columns. Dark Sun will receive separate setting and gameplay expansions, a limited-edition Player's Handbook, a new Scion class, a DM screen, maps, and some form of adventure support. The gameplay material alone is expected to approach five hundred pages, suggesting that Wizards is not returning to Athas quietly. Greyhawk will also return during the 2027 Season of Sword and Sorcery. Crown of the Witch Queen is a 160-page adventure featuring Tasha's daughter as its central antagonist, supported by a map pack and DM screen. The final 2027 season, the Season of Rebellion, was announced without details, leaving everyone to speculate angrily until Wizards decides to explain itself. Perhaps the largest long-term change is Wizards' plan for annual setting support produced in partnership with established third-party publishers. Ghostfire Gaming will work on Ravenloft, Visionary Products and Designs will handle Eberron, and Kobold Press will support the Forgotten Realms. Wizards is also developing something with the Hickmans, although details remain scarce. The approach could finally give neglected settings regular adventures and character options, but it also raises questions about outsourcing, quality control, digital-only releases, and whether D&D is about to recreate the overwhelming flood of material from the third-edition era. Despite those concerns, the group is cautiously optimistic. Wizards seems willing to experiment, work with proven creators, support more settings, focus on tabletop products, and admit that maybe trying to become a video game company was not the best use of everyone's time. It could produce an exciting new era for D&D, or it could become an exhausting avalanche of crossovers and subscription content. Either way, Ash will be waiting for the D&D and Family Guy campaign setting so they can finally say they warned us. Key Takeaways Gen Con is becoming D&D's annual announcement hub. Wizards intends to reveal future product roadmaps there instead of relying on scattered online presentations. D&D Beyond is being extensively rebuilt. Planned improvements include group-finding tools, local game-store listings, StartPlaying integration, a redesigned app, a new character builder, a new rules engine, better search, DM tools, and campaign creation. Arcana Unleashed is a major player-focused expansion. It includes subclasses, feats, spells, backgrounds, factions, patrons, dozens of magic items, and new rules for items that evolve with their owners. Deadfall finally supports high-level campaigning. The adventure runs from levels 11 through 20 and sends the party into an espionage conflict against Szass Tam in Thay. The World of Warcraft crossover is a full product line. It includes numerous playable species, subclasses, famous locations, raid-inspired encounters, accessories, digital content, and three different cover editions. Dark Sun is returning without being noticeably softened. Wizards is positioning it as a mature setting with separate lore and gameplay books, graphic content warnings, hundreds of pages of material, and promised adventure support. Greyhawk returns with Crown of the Witch Queen. The adventure will feature Tasha's daughter as the antagonist and lean into a colorful, operatic sword-and-sorcery style. Classic settings may receive annual support. Wizards is partnering with experienced publishers to produce new Ravenloft, Eberron, and Forgotten Realms material, with another Hickman-related project also in development. Third-party partnerships could solve D&D's setting problem. Instead of leaving worlds unsupported for years, specialized publishers can create material while Wizards focuses on core rules and major releases. The biggest risk is content overload. More books, digital releases, partnerships, settings, and crossovers could strengthen the game, but they could also recreate the crowded and difficult-to-navigate release schedule of earlier editions. The overall mood is cautiously optimistic. The announcements suggest that Wizards is taking creative risks, investing in tabletop content, and making decisions that could benefit both players and the wider TTRPG industry.

Ever notice how the first staff meeting of the year gets the ironed tablecloths, the good snacks, and the outfit you actually planned in advance... and then somehow still leaves your team overwhelmed instead of inspired?That's the paradox we're unpacking on this episode. As a new school year gets underway, it's tempting to use that first meeting to hand your team everything you think is mission critical, all at once. Handbook. Policies. Vision. Values. Classroom management. Every important thing you've been sitting on, verbally dumped into one meeting because it finally feels like the right moment. And then we wonder why the team walks away foggy instead of focused.In this episode, Chanie breaks down why that approach backfires and walks through a framework for designing a first staff meeting that actually sticks. The core idea: different topics activate different parts of the brain, and a meeting that jumps between all of them without intention is asking your team to do something their brains simply can't do well.What You'll LearnWhy cramming vision, policy, and logistics into one meeting works against you, and the three-part structure to use insteadHow to turn abstract concepts like mission and vision into something your team can actually use when a parent is yelling or a kid needs stitchesThe exact questions to ask your staff so they define, in their own words, how they want to show up when things get hardHow to build a school theme or headline for the year that actually guides decisions about time, money, and energy, instead of getting lost by OctoberA hands-on team activity that gets your whole staff thinking creatively about what your theme looks like in real classroomsWhy investing in people will always outperform investing in another piece of softwareHow to close out the meeting by having each teacher commit to one small, doable habit for the yearConnect With Us:Let's Chat on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/chaniewilschanski/Join us on Substack: https://chaniewilschanski.substack.com/

Welcome to Handbook for Humanity! This show comes at a time when certain beliefs about the human person are once again being funded by U.S. federal tax dollars without a vote of the people. Why is this happening and which side of this particular issue of Life do we fall on? We hope this episode will help you answer those questions by exposing you to 2 points of view that paint a clear picture of the two sides in the battle for Life. In the first part of the show Adele, Becki and our content partner Colby Allen sit down to share how one of the most unusual and thought-provoking conversations ever featured on this podcast came to be. It all began with the doctoral dissertation of Doctor Sarah Denny Lorio, who explored a bold and imaginative question: What would it look like if St. John Paul II, author of The Theology of the Body had a conversation with Margaret Sanger - the founder of Planned Parenthood? These two towering individuals had many apposing ideas that still impact our views on the vision of woman, sexuality, freedom and the human body. So listen in as our team talks with Dr. Denny-Lorio to find out what an imagined conversation between these 2 delivered to paint a clearer picture for the questions of: What is true freedom, How do women achieve better health and what is the meaning of intimate relationships.

In 2015, Simone Shervington started a property management business with zero properties, no office and a newborn — then moved the whole thing 3.5 hours to a regional town where she knew no one. Nine years on: 300-plus properties across two markets. In this episode you'll discover the free investor handbook that wins out-of-area landlords, the replace-your-income formula every would-be founder should run before quitting, the tenanted-sales niche most agents fumble, and why she refuses to be the biggest office in town. If you're building a rent roll — anywhere — this is essential listening. Get the book from LeadMachineSecrets.com (just pay shipping). Book into Deniz' diary at GrowMyRentRoll.com

How do you go from voicing a beaver in a sleep med commercial to portraying TV's most amoral attorney on its most iconic crime drama?! For actor, author, and teacher Michael Kostroff, the answer is: embrace the unexpected.Best known as cunning defense lawyer Maurice Levy on HBO's The Wire, Michael joins Weezy this week to reflect on a career that has taken him from television dramas and Broadway musicals to films, teen comedies, sitcoms and commercials.You will currently find him on the MGM+/Prime Marvel superhero series (available in both color and black & white!) Spider-Noir with Nicolas Cage, as New York City's mayor and he's also just wrapped up his first Broadway run as the bank manager in Dog Day Afternoon.Along the way, he shares behind-the-scenes stories from the national tour of The Producers (where lightning-fast costume changes and a grueling schedule collided with back and forth flights to film The Wire). Michael's career then took him to The Plot Against America, The Wizard of Lies (with Robert De Niro!) and The Blacklist.Michael shares his thoughts on The Wire's rarified role as a television landmark, why its richly layered characters continue to resonate, and whether he minds being typecast. He also talks about his four books, including Letters from Backstage, which grew out of emails that unexpectedly found a massive audience, and The Stage Actor's Handbook, born from his desire to provide aspiring actors with the practical guidance missing from their theater education. Michael opens up about the life-saving community he found in theater and the salve it offered for his unhappy childhood. We peek at his viral apartment tour video, revealing the unglamorous truth behind the doors of a working actor. We get schooled on the perils of backstage "showmances," and we learn why, after decades of surprising turns, he's still excited to see where the next one leads.This is a warm, funny, and inspiring conversation with an actor whose career proves that the most rewarding paths are often the least predictable.In current media-- Weezy: The American Experiment and Little House on the Prairie on NetflixProducer Dina: AMC/AMC+ Series Dark Winds, streaming on NetflixPath Points of Interest:Michael KostroffMichael Kostroff on WikipediaMichael Kostroff on IMDBMichael Kostroff on InstagramMichael Kostroff on FacebookMichael Kostroff on YoutubeApartment TourBooks by Michael KostroffThe Stage Actor's Handbook: Traditions, Protocols, and Etiquette for the Working and Aspiring ProfessionalBy Michael Kostroff and Julie GarnyéLetters From BackstageThe American ExperimentLittle House On The PrairieDark Winds

My guest in this episode is May Ling Thomas. May Ling lives in London with her husband and two daughters, who are 13 and 10, and who have always been unschooled. May Ling came across the idea of unschooling when her oldest was still a baby, and it felt a natural fit with how she and her husband wanted to raise their children. We talk about what this all looks like and, of course, all the unlearning we have to do. I hope you enjoy the conversation.Connect with May Ling:https://www.maylingthomas.com/May Ling co-organises the Freedom to Learn forum, which will take place August 13th-17th in the Peak District, UK.

Send Jackie A Message!Everyone in the yoga and Pilates world is telling you the same thing right now: you need a handbook. And they're right — until they let you believe the handbook is the fix. Because here's what the research shows: SOPs don't fail because they're badly written. They fail because nobody is holding the standard.In this episode, Jackie names the trap almost every studio owner falls into — asking a document to do a manager's job — and gets precise about three words we throw around like they're interchangeable: leadership, management, and systems. You lead the direction. You manage the standard. The system remembers it for you. Miss the middle layer, and even a beautiful forty-page handbook rots in a Google Drive folder while you keep re-fixing everything yourself.In this episode:Why documents are inert — and why "I wrote it down" is not the same as "it's handled"The three layers defined: leadership (what matters and who you're being), management (accountability, feedback, and training — this week), and systems (the handbook, SOPs, and checklists that remember the standard)The story of a client, a Pilates studio owner, with forty-two pages of SOPs and a team following none of them — and the exact changes that made the handbook realThe 90-second coaching conversation to use the next time a standard slips (word for word)How to onboard so the handbook actually lands: walk it, shadow it, teach it backStandard of the week, checklists, public praise, and handing ownership to your leads — the rhythms that keep standards aliveThe one rule you can't break: hold the standard the same way for your newest hire and your biggest superstarYour action step this week: pick one standard that keeps slipping. Don't rewrite the SOP. Give it an owner who isn't you, put it where it will be seen, and add it to your next team check-in. One standard, one owner, one rhythm.A handbook tells your team what good looks like. Management is what makes it happen. Leadership is why they want to.Work with Jackie MurphySay Hi on Instagram @studioceoofficialJoin The Studio CEO Program: https://www.jackiegmurphy.com/studioceoThe Grow Mastermind: https://www.jackiegmurphy.com/mastermind

In this episode of The Principal's Handbook, we explore why becoming a better leader isn't about doing more—it's about doing less with greater intention. You'll learn how trying to tackle too many initiatives at once can create burnout, reduce momentum, and keep your building from making meaningful progress. The episode introduces the Leadership by Subtraction framework, helping you identify the one area that will have the biggest impact on your school through three simple reflection questions. If you've been feeling overwhelmed by competing priorities, this conversation will help you lead with more focus, clarity, and confidence.Join the Leadership by Subtraction Waitlist HERE.  We're thrilled to be sponsored by IXL. IXL's comprehensive teaching and learning platform for math, language arts, science, and social studies is accelerating achievement in 95 of the top 100 U.S. school districts.
