So, the World Economic Forum (WEF) met again at their luxurious resort in the alpines at Davos, Switzerland. Their theme was "A Spirit of Dialogue."In this episode we look how the WEF has changed in recent years and how Donald Trump and Javier Milei have upset their machinery.The media fawned over Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney's speech bucking the United States, supporting Denmark and Greenland, forming partnerships with China and promoting a "new world order." Yet, Trump got things done while he was there. He quickly worked out a Greenland deal and led the new international "Board of Peace" for phase 2 of the Israel-Gaza peace deal.Argentine President Javier Milei warned of the collapse of the West to socialism and wokeism but he also believed the United States was leading the way out of it.Next, we the usual hypocrisies with the messages and lifestyles of the Davos elites:carbon footprint with private jetsusing "escort services"Sources Cited:"Overview," World Economic Forum, accessed January 24, 2026.Yuval Noah Harari and Irene Tracey, "An Honest Conversation on AI and Humanity | World Economic Forum Annual Meeting 2026," World Economic Forum, January 20, 2026.Mark Carney, Laurence D.

Cristina Cranga: Why Nice Teams Still Fail and the Power of Honest Conversations Read the full Show Notes and search through the world's largest audio library on Agile and Scrum directly on the Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast website: http://bit.ly/SMTP_ShowNotes.   "Sometimes you can change people by only listening to them. Not giving advice—don't become an advice monster." - Cristina Cranga   Cristina shares her experience of sensing that something was off with a team but being unable to pinpoint exactly what it was. Instead of jumping to conclusions, she paused, reflected, and created an intervention plan centered on one thing: starting honest conversations. Through one-on-one discussions with team members, she discovered that the problem wasn't performance or process—it was something deeper.  Expectations weren't aligned with reality, and frustration stemmed from a company culture that didn't offer psychological safety. Cristina introduces the concept of the "advice monster"—someone who constantly tells others what they should do rather than simply listening. She emphasizes that as Scrum Masters, we need to recognize the three layers of our influence: control, influence, and no control.  Even when we can't solve problems, being present and listening can create profound change. The key is self-awareness of our own vulnerability as humans and compassion for others who might be at 80% or 10% of their mental health and energy on any given day.   In this segment, we talk about the importance of psychological safety and active listening in team dynamics.   Self-reflection Question: How often do you enter conversations with the intention of truly understanding rather than solving, and what might you discover if you listened more and advised less? Featured Book of the Week: The Fearless Organization by Amy Edmondson Cristina chose The Fearless Organization by Amy Edmondson as her most influential book because it explains what Scrum Masters see every day but struggle to name. The book provides a mental model for why teams don't speak up and how to influence behavior without forcing it. As Cristina puts it: "She explains why nice teams still fail. Silence is not always alignment and politeness—most of the time, it's distrust." The book repositions the Scrum Master role from someone focused on ceremonies to someone who creates the conditions for psychological safety. It also explains why process alone doesn't fix everything and helps Scrum Masters measure what really matters in a team.   [The Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast Recommends]

Is Church a Business? In this episode, I unpack a question many people quietly wrestle with: Has church become more of a business than a spiritual space? I talk about the practices, structures, and experiences that have caused some people to feel disconnected from church altogether—and why that disconnect is growing. This is an honest, reflective conversation about faith, community, money, and what people are really seeking when they walk through church doors… or choose not to anymore.

As we finish up wellness month, today's conversation is about substance use disorder, recovery, and how people think about intentional living around this time of the year. Hosts Nickie Damico and Louisa Martin are joined by Bridget Petrillo, MS, CRNA and Rodrigo Garcia, CEO of Parkdale Center of Professionals, for an honest, deeply personal conversation about SUD, recovery, stigma, and hope within the anesthesia community. Drawing from their own lived experiences, our guests explain why anesthesia providers face unique occupational risks, how shame and fear often delay getting help, and why recovery is not only possible but life-giving. The discussion also highlights the importance of peer support, education, and institutional resources, including the AANA Helpline, Wellness Ambassador Network, and Anesthetists in Recovery (AIR) meetings. As the year comes to a close, we turn our focus to intentional living, gratitude, and wellness, especially during the holidays, when stress and isolation can intensify. The 24/7 confidential, AANA Helpline (800-654-5167) answered by addiction professionals to improve access to help for SUD. Here's some of what you'll hear in this episode:

As two longtime friends who have never crossed the platonic line, we share our real life experiences, laugh through listener shoutouts, and talk honestly about friendship, attention, and what it means when people actually miss your podcast during a break.From comedy shows in Miami and supporting friends on tour to awkward small talk with strangers, fast food conspiracy theories, and the mystery of why smoke detectors always beep at the worst possible times, this episode is classic Friends Without Benefits energy. It is unscripted, funny, and full of the everyday observations that turn into big laughs.We also touch on why feeling seen by listeners matters, how humor connects people, and why sometimes the most meaningful relationships are the ones without expectations attached.

Guest Info (Taken from Alyssa's Website)Alyssa Carmona| Certified Bioenergetics Practitioner, Hair Mineral Analysis Testing Coaching, Zone Therapist, NLP Certified Change Worker, Integral Eye Movement Therapy Certified, Qigong InstructorIn my early 20s, I faced a storm of confusing and exhausting symptoms: unexplained weight gain, cystic acne, pre-diabetes, chronic fatigue, SIBO, anxiety, amenorrhea—and eventually, a PCOS diagnosis. I tried everything: medications that came with harsh side effects, visits to functional doctors, SIBO protocols, heavy metal detoxes, and endless allergy testing. Despite all the effort, I still felt disconnected from my body and far from healed.What finally changed? I stopped treating symptoms in isolation and began supporting the whole system.Through deep research and personal experimentation, I discovered cellular healing through body-field balancing. I started addressing not just the physical—but the energetic, emotional, and subconscious imprints that were holding me back. That's when real healing began.As my body found balance, it naturally began releasing the toxic load it had been carrying for years. My symptoms resolved. My fertility returned. My energy and clarity returned. And perhaps most importantly—I reclaimed trust in my body.Now, It's My Mission to Help You Do the SameNavigating health today can feel overwhelming. Even with the “right” supplements, clean diet, and good intentions—many people still feel stuck. That's because true healing requires more than just physical input. Your body is a network of energy, emotion, memory, and biology.As an energy coach and body-field practitioner, I take a root-level approach—helping you uncover where your system is out of balance and guiding you back to alignment.Whether you're dealing with hormone imbalances, emotional burnout, chronic symptoms, or your child is showing signs of nervous system overload—I offer personalized, non-invasive support to restore vitality and peace in the body.Healing is possible. Your body is wise. Sometimes it just needs the right signal to remember how to thrive.My goal is to help you create the changes you've been looking for.

Cleveland Death Society inspires open conversations about mortality For many people, death is a taboo topic. It can feel uncomfortable, even controversial, and it's something people often avoid until they no longer can. But experts say making space to talk about death can also bring a surprising sense of relief and connection. So how do we face our fear of death, demystify it, and get more comfortable speaking honestly about it? In recent years, "death cafés" have emerged as informal gatherings, often in bars or coffee shops, where people come together simply to talk about mortality. Wednesday on the "Sound of Ideas," we'll hear from a local group, the Cleveland Death Society, which hosts these open, agenda-free conversations about loss and end-of-life experiences. And it's a timely moment for this discussion. For many, the winter holiday season can intensify feelings of grief and make them harder to navigate. Guests:- Kimberly Garchar, Ph.D., Associate Professor of Philosophy, Kent State University- Brandi Lynn Wiles, Founder, Cleveland Death Society- Gabriela Gomez, M.D., Resident Physician, Harvard Radiation Oncology Program Meet the new president and CEO of the Port of Cleveland The Port of Cleveland is a major economic driver of the region supporting some 23,000 jobs and contributing more than $4.7 billion to the Northeast Ohio economy annually. The organization's influence reaches far beyond just goods that are being transported through docks on the lakefront. They are involved in financing large housing projects, environmental endeavors and reshaping the banks of the Cuyahoga River. And now the Port of Cleveland has new leadership, as former CEO Will Friedman stepped away from the job after 14 years. Guest:- Jeff Epstein, President and CEO, The Port of Cleveland

Sin — it's the one topic that most churches avoid, yet it's the very thing keeping so many believers bound. We talk about blessing, breakthrough, and favor, but rarely do we talk about the one barrier that quietly blocks all three: sin. In this episode, we're having a real, unfiltered conversation about what sin actually is, why it's more than just bad behavior, and how it subtly separates us from God's presence and purpose. You'll learn:

Today's episode is something a little different. I sat down with the amazing Ash from Rainbow Sky Creations for a raw and honest chat, and this time I found myself on the other side of the microphone. It felt a bit strange being the one answering the questions, but Ash has a way of making you feel safe enough to tell the truth about your work, your why, and the messy bits in between. We talked about teaching, life, purpose, and what it means to try and make a difference in this wild and wonderful profession. It's a conversation filled with heart, a few laughs, and some vulnerable moments that I'm really proud to share. I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed being part of it.

What is going on with Saquon Barkley? Hugh, Joe and Kyle try to get to the bottom of his rough start to the season and exam in the facts.

Feeling stretched thin by the pressure to "do it all" online? In this episode, we're pulling back the curtain on what the creator landscape really feels like in 2025. I'm sitting down with world-renowned dietitian and mega-creator Abbey Sharp, who's built a multi-platform empire over 14 years… and is finally saying the quiet part out loud: the hustle, the burnout, the imposter syndrome, the pressure to keep performing.   From navigating criticism to building multiple income streams to launching a supplement company with integrity, Abbey is as transparent as it gets and her honesty in this conversation is a breath of fresh air for any entrepreneur who's ever questioned whether they can keep up.   Tune in to hear: What it actually takes to stay relevant in a changing media landscape (and why so many early creators disappeared) The emotional and mental cost of content creation and how Abbey is redefining her 2026 goals after burnout and a cancer diagnosis The truth about monetization: what's still working, what's dead, and what she'd never recommend starting in 2025 The supplement industry secrets she learned building her brand and why transparency matters more than ever How to navigate criticism, protect your mental health, and build a business that feels sustainable The one thing she wishes more dietitians understood about charging for their expertise The behind-the-scenes realities of launching books, running teams, and staying human while leading a massive online brand   Connect with Abbey: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/abbeyskitchen YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCKLz-9xkpPNjK26PqbjHn7Q TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@abbeyskitchen?lang=en Website: https://www.abbeyskitchen.com/ Pre-order your copy of Abbey's newest book: https://www.abbeyskitchen.com/hunger-crushing-combo/   Instagram: @dietitiandeanna and @online.entrepreneur.academy   Want my help and strategies to have $30, $50 or $100K launches of your online program? Apply to OEA Scale

In this powerful and deeply honest conversation, Jess Connolly—author, podcaster, and speaker—invites us into a season of her life marked by heartbreak and uncertainty.  Jess opens up about the winter of 2023, when her husband experienced panic attacks, heart issues, and a mental health crisis. At the same time, her family was facing major loss as her stepfather passed away after heart surgery, while also preparing for a book release. Followed by one of her children walking through a dark trial. Jess brings so much truth and gentle encouragement to anyone walking through a season that desperately needs hope, not the shallow Christian clichés we often hear, but a deep and steady hope that God is with us in the valley. Here's some of what we cover: The myth of the “prosperity gospel of parenting” and why 1+2 does not always equal 3 The pressure to assign purpose to a painful season  Rethinking Psalm 23 and understanding the rod and the staff  Learning to lament: why anger expressed to God is actually intimacy An exclusive sneak peak at her next book!  Connect with Jess Connolly:  Instagram: Jess Connolly | Author + Bible Teacher (@jessaconnolly) Facebook: Jess Connolly Website: Jess Connolly Links Mentioned:   What Comes Next: By Jess Connolly Tired of Being Tired: By Jess Connolly It's Not Supposed to Be This Way: By Lysa TerKeurst Related Episodes: Sidetracked with Jess Connolly :: Cynthia and Heather [Ep 484] Your Body is GOOD :: Jess Connolly [Ep 329] Worth Repeating // Jess Connolly Featured Sponsors: Sex Ed Reclaimed: Sex Ed Reclaimed offers a full curriculum with lifetime access so with that mind, visit sexedreclaimed.com to get your family's video curriculum today.

From navigating marriage with fellow actor Sterling K. Brown to building a life rooted in faith, humor, and resilience, Ryan opens up about the lessons, missteps, and mantras that keep her grounded. Together, they unpack what it means to redefine womanhood, honor your emotional bandwidth, and build a home full of love—even when your champagne flutes are mismatched. Ryan shares vulnerable reflections on aging, self-care, parenting through exhaustion, and finding joy in a world that rarely slows down. With warmth, wisdom, and a whole lot of laughter, this episode is a celebration of imperfection, intention, and unapologetic Black womanhood. If you've ever felt the weight of being everything for everyone, or struggled to feel safe in your own skin, this one’s for you.

In this conversation, Dr. K sits down with creator JasonTheWeen to talk about the pressure of growing up, managing online relationships, and the complicated emotions that come with watching your parents get older. What starts as a light catch-up quickly turns into a deeper look at loneliness, responsibility, and the fear of losing the people you love. Jason opens up about feeling torn between his own life and his parents' wishes, especially his dad's plan to eventually return to Vietnam. Dr. K helps him explore the difference between what he feels he owes his parents and what he actually wants, while also unpacking how cultural expectations and emotional suppression shape the relationship. They also discuss the challenges of balancing streaming with real life, how hard it is to communicate honest feelings with family, and why unspoken emotions often turn into sadness or anger. It's a heartfelt and very human conversation about trying to grow while holding onto the people who matter.

I'm sharing why I'm ditching polished intros, perfect editing, and long episodes in favor of a more real, voice-memo-style format that actually fits into the tiny pockets of life—for me and for you.I also give a life update after seven months away, including postpartum realities, becoming a mom of two, finally having a home office I love, being flown out by Kajabi (still surreal), and diving headfirst into Christmas mode way too early.Then I shift into a deeper conversation I've been having everywhere lately: what it truly looks like to balance motherhood, marriage, and running a thriving business—especially when you're the primary income earner.

Many firms say they have a Law Firm Strategy, but few actually do. In this episode, Chris Batz breaks down what true strategy looks like inside corporate law firms and why clarity must come before growth. He introduces his framework for effective law firm strategy, the "three P's": positioning, perception, and competition. He explains how each reveals the gap between where a firm stands today and where it aims to be. From understanding client perception to benchmarking against competitors, he outlines how to replace internal optimism with market reality and strategic focus.   Chris also tackles the forces reshaping the legal marketplace—AI, private equity, and shifting client expectations—and how they demand a more agile, evidence-based approach to law firm strategy. Rather than chasing growth for its own sake, Chris argues that firms must make disciplined trade-offs, align behavior with purpose, and revisit their strategy regularly to stay relevant.   This episode challenges leaders to ask: when was the last time your law firm strategy reflected the market you're actually competing in?   Episode Breakdown: 00:00 What Law Firm Strategy Really Means 01:00 The Three P's: Positioning, Perception, and Competition 03:00 How to Define Your Market Position 06:20 Why Client Perception Shapes Reality 11:10 Building Credibility and Market Visibility 14:00 Adapting Strategy to Client Needs and Market Change 17:30 Common Pitfalls and the Strategy Gap 20:50 Growth Decisions: Lateral Hires vs. Mergers 23:25 On Law Firm Strategy Connect with Chris Batz: Connect with Chris on LinkedIn  Follow Columbus Street on LinkedIn Columbus Street Website  Podcast production and show notes provided by HiveCast.fm

Are you struggling with learning how to cope as a special needs parent when alcohol has been your go-to for years? Amy once felt the same way—thinking wine was the only way to take the edge off. But during a 30-day alcohol experiment, she uncovered something surprising: her drinking had less to do with parenting challenges and more to do with old coping patterns she'd carried for years. In this Where Are They Now chat with Coach Hayley, Amy opens up about how going alcohol-free has helped her show up differently as a mom, let go of micromanaging, and even lean back into supporting the very community she once wanted to escape. In this episode, Amy and Hayley catch up on: How Amy's "sneaky" relationship with alcohol masked deeper coping patterns Why The Alcohol Experiment was just the beginning of her real transformation How to cope as a special needs parent by addressing root causes, not just symptoms Why her drinking habits had nothing to do with special needs parenting challenges Learning to feel emotions instead of shoving them down with alcohol and other substances Shifting from anxiety-driven micromanagement to mindful, empowered parenting Applying the same "why" questions to break patterns with sugar, caffeine, and social media Professionally reinvesting in supporting individuals with diagnoses after her transformation And more… Episode links: Start Your Alcohol Experiment - www.alcoholexperiment.com Related Episodes: Special Needs and Drinking - Amy's Naked Life -E313 - https://thisnakedmind.com/ep-313-naked-life-story-amy-m/ From Isolation to Connection: Finding Your Way Alcohol-Free - Alcohol Freedom Coaching - E825 - https://thisnakedmind.com/feeling-lost-after-quitting-drinking-e825/ Sharing Your Personal Journey with Alcohol: A Guide to Honest Conversations and Healing Connections - Reader's Question - E620 - https://thisnakedmind.com/ep-618-readers-question-annie-graces-tips-for-dealing-with-family-members-who-continue-to-drink-2/ Ready to take the next step on your journey?

You already know we're open books around here, so when we sat down to record an episode of things you might not know about us, we quickly realized… this was harder than it sounded! We share so much on this podcast, but we did manage to find a few fun and unexpected things that even our most loyal listeners may not have heard before.Amy kicks things off by sharing one about Abby—let's just say Abby sometimes thinks the rules don't apply to her. If she doesn't agree with a rule, she's not likely to follow it. Meanwhile, Amy's perspective on rules might surprise you. We also dig into how each of us handles stress and uncertainty. Amy's not particularly attached to things and has a grounded belief that unless something bad happens to someone she loves, everything will be okay. Abby, on the other hand, tends to think in terms of the worst case scenario—if something goes wrong, her first thought is usually, “How much work is this going to cause me?”We also compare our spending habits. When you think of a “big purchase,” what amount comes to mind? Amy shares her number—and it might not be what you expect. While Amy is more cautious about bigger buys, she is also the queen of small, repeated purchases. Whereas Abby, even if she's hungry, she'll wait until she's home to eat what's already there.You'll also hear why Abby is easily influenced, how Amy falls down the doom-scrolling rabbit hole, and which one of us prefers multitasking while watching TV versus doing things in total silence. And finally, Amy shares what she means when she says she has a calling to be a wild and free animal.This one's lighthearted, real, and full of those behind-the-scenes stories that make us who we are. Tune in for laughter, a few surprises, and maybe a deeper understanding of why we each do the things we do.LINKS AND RESOURCES:BETTERHELP: 10% off first month at: http://betterhelp.com/herselfLMNT: Free Sample Pack with purchase:  drinkLMNT.com/HERSELF Let's connect!HERSELF INSTAGRAM: http://instagram.com/herselfpodcastMEET AMY: http://instagram.com/ameskieferMEET ABBY: http://instagram.com/abbyrosegreenThis episode was brought to you by the Pivot Ball Change Network.

Drew Hart joined me to dig into questions from our God of Justice class about his lecture on the black church and American experience. We covered a lot of ground—from Drew's own journey as a preacher's kid who found his tribe in the prophetic tradition of the black church and Anabaptism, to why James Cone's confrontational theology is actually necessary for real liberation (not just comfortable reconciliation). Drew pushed back hard on white progressive Christianity that performs solidarity without changing oppressive structures, explaining why gradualism is always justice denied. We talked about enslaved people adapting (not just adopting) Christianity into something radically different from what slaveowners preached, the messy reality of violence and peacemaking when your back's against the wall, and what a reparations God actually means—hint: it's about healing, not just debt calculation. If you want theology that takes the crucified Jesus seriously, rather than abstracting him into universal principles that leave power structures intact, this conversation delivers. Drew G. I. Hart is a public theologian and professor of theology at Messiah University. He has ten years of pastoral ministry experience and is the recipient of multiple awards for peacemaking. Hart attained his MDiv with an urban concentration from Missio Seminary and his PhD in theology and ethics from Lutheran Theological Seminary at Philadelphia. He is a sought-after speaker at conferences, campuses, and churches across the United States and Canada. His first book, Trouble I've Seen: Changing the Way the Church Views Racism, utilizes personal and everyday stories, theological ethics, and anti-racism frameworks to transform the church's understanding and witness. Hart lives with his wife, Renee, and their three sons in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.
