Great leaders build courage What if the biggest risk to your leadership isn't failure, but staying stuck where you are? Playing it safe may feel comfortable, but over time it erodes growth, impact, and confidence. That's why bravery is the defining trait of great leaders. In this week's Reflect Forward episode, The Bravery Effect: How Leaders Build Courage, I sit down with Jill Schulman, a former U.S. Marine Corps officer, leadership development expert, and founder of Breakthrough Leadership Group. Jill has dedicated her career to studying the science of bravery, resilience, and peak performance, helping leaders reframe fear not as a barrier but as a signal for growth. Her story is remarkable, going from combat engineering in the Marine Corps to a thriving pharmaceutical career and then leaping into entrepreneurship. Along the way, Jill discovered that bravery isn't about being fearless. It's about taking meaningful action in the presence of fear which every leader needs if they want to step out of the rut and into real influence. In this powerful conversation, Jill and I explore: • Why fear—not failure—is often the greatest barrier to leadership growth • How micro-moments of bravery build resilience and confidence over time • The importance of aligning your career with your strengths and values • How to overcome self-doubt by taking action, not waiting for motivation • Why vulnerability is at the heart of true courage Jill also shares insights from her new book, The Bravery Effect, written as a parable to help readers build their bravery “muscle” one small act at a time. Whether it's speaking up in a meeting, having a tough conversation, or making a major career change, Jill shows us how courage compounds into transformation.

This week we are joined by Mirat Dave and Danish Butt of Swiftwater & Co. as they step into the studio to make a simple claim, investigations and legal operations should serve the business, not slow the business. Mirat traces a path across law, technology, and global risk, then explains why a team blending strategy with implementation drew him to Swiftwater. Danish shares a wry origin story from early e-discovery days and outlines Swiftwater's north star, the seven C's, connecting, caring, collaboration, creating, curiosity, courage, and confidence. The tone stays pragmatic, no hype, and a few laughs land along the way.Global scope often triggers the “Germany is different” objection. Mirat acknowledges regional nuances, then reframes the discussion, most of the process is common across borders. The move that matters is standardization plus smart technology, including AI, to shift from linear headcount answers to scalable capacity. The payoff is speed, consistency, and lower risk. The team urges leaders to act like business owners, align processes to growth, margin, assets, and purpose, and resist the reflex to hire without redesigning the work.Budget hurdles come next. Leaders struggle to win funds for process change or platforms, while headcount requests sail through. The fix is storytelling backed by math, present a structured plan, expected savings, and a clear ROI in the language a CFO or GC uses daily. Danish widens the lens on metrics, many teams still track counts and cycle times, while value measures like revenue protected or reputation preserved sit at the bottom of the list. The guidance is to flip that order, tie decisions to value, and approach AI as a set of pointed use cases with measurable outcomes, not a monolith.Legal ops gets a moment in the spotlight as the quiet power. Danish reminds listeners that service functions exist to help the organization win, recognition matters, yet trust erodes when tools take center stage over results. Mirat presses the enablement mindset with a memorable image, legal, risk, and investigations are the pit crew, the business is the driver. Faster pits win races. He shares examples, a government contractor lifted renewal success by turning compliance visibility into proactive reminders and playbooks. In investigations, trend analysis by region, level, and timing surfaces fixes that reduce incoming allegations, lighten workloads, and raise quality.The crystal ball stays practical. Danish advises teams to treat AI as a working style backed by a two-year plan, prepare data, pick targets, and avoid both freeze and frenzy. Mirat expects investigation platforms to evolve from reporting systems into work systems, triage, plan creation, interview guidance, and repeatable playbooks that lift speed and consistency.Listen on mobile platforms:  ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Apple Podcasts⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ |  ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Spotify⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ | ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠[Special Thanks to ⁠Legal Technology Hub⁠ for their sponsoring this episode.] Blue Sky: ⁠⁠@geeklawblog.com⁠⁠ ⁠⁠@marlgeb⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Email: geekinreviewpodcast@gmail.comMusic: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Jerry David DeCicca⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Transcript:

Peng Liyuan, President Xi Jinping's wife, invited spouses of foreign leaders who were attending the Shanghai Cooperation Organization Summit 2025 in Tianjin to a sightseeing tour on the Haihe River on Monday afternoon.彭丽媛，习近平主席的妻子，邀请了参加2025年上海合作组织峰会的外国领导人的配偶，周一下午进行海河游览。The 72-kilometer-long Haihe River, hailed as Tianjin's mother river, winds its way through the city and flows eastward into the Bohai Sea. The river, flanked by historical landmarks and modern architectural marvels, encapsulates the essence of Tianjin's diversity, inclusiveness, openness and innovation.72公里长的海河，被誉为天津的母亲河，蜿蜒穿过这座城市，向东流入渤海。河流两岸是历史地标和现代建筑奇迹，体现了天津的多样性、包容性、开放性和创新精神。Peng warmly greeted the guests, shaking hands with them one by one before joining them for a group photo.彭热情地迎接了宾客，逐一与他们握手，然后与他们一起合影。At the pier, a group of children sang a joyful song, I'm Waiting for You in Tianjin, and waved Chinese and foreign national flags to welcome them.在码头，一群孩子唱着愉快的歌曲《我在天津等你》，而且挥舞着中国和外国的国旗来欢迎他们。Peng then joined the guests on a boat ride along the river, where they learned about the city's history and development.彭随后与客人们一起乘船沿河游览，在那里他们了解了这座城市的历史和发展。Peng told the guests that Tianjin is a city blending historical depth and modern vitality, and that the Haihe River has witnessed the city's development and exchanges and mutual learning of diverse cultures. Peng said she looked forward to having an unforgettable time with the guests.彭告诉客人们，天津是一个融合历史深度和现代活力的城市，海河见证了这座城市的发展以及多元文化的交流与相互学习。彭表示她期待与客人们度过一个难忘的时光。During the tour, they enjoyed the riverside views, had a chat over tea and enjoyed an ensemble of sanxian, a three-stringed traditional Chinese instrument. They also posed for a group photo on the deck.在旅行中，他们欣赏了河边的美景，喝着茶聊天，并欣赏了三弦乐队的表演，三弦是一种传统的中国三弦乐器。他们还在甲板上拍了张合影。The guests spoke highly of traditional Chinese culture and praised the remarkable achievements in advancing Chinese modernization.宾客们高度评价了中国传统文化，并赞扬了中国现代化进程中的卓越成就。The guests included spouses of Uzbek President Shavkat Mirziyoyev, Mongolian President Ukhnaa Khurelsukh, Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan, Nepali Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli, Egyptian Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouly and Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim, and daughter of Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian.l spouses of foreign leadersn.外国领导人配偶 /spaʊzɪz ɒv ˈfɒrən ˈliːdəz/l Haihe Rivern.海河/haɪ ˈhʌɪ hə ˈrɪvə/

Welcome to Top of the Morning by Mint.. I'm Nelson John and here are today's top stories. Quake Flattens Afghan Villages A 6.0 earthquake has left eastern Afghanistan shattered — more than 800 killed, nearly 3,000 injured. Entire villages in Kunar province are gone, with survivors describing terrifying jolts and endless aftershocks. Helicopters are the only way in as floods and landslides block roads. Hospitals in Jalalabad are overwhelmed, and the Taliban has appealed for urgent international aid. SCO Backs India on Terror At its Tianjin summit, the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation strongly condemned the Pahalgam terror attack and backed India's demand that “double standards” on terrorism must end. Leaders from India, China, Russia, and Pakistan signed a declaration pledging zero tolerance for terror and more cooperation against cross-border threats. The statement also condemned violence in Gaza and strikes on Iran, while urging reforms at the UN, IMF, and World Bank. India, however, refused to endorse China's Belt and Road Initiative. Trump Targets India Again US President Donald Trump has reignited trade tensions, calling the India-US equation a “one-sided disaster.” He claimed India has offered to cut tariffs on American goods to “nothing,” but also linked Washington's steep 50% tariffs to India's oil trade with Russia. New Delhi has pushed back, defending farm protections and accusing the US of moving the goalposts. Rupee Sinks to 88.33 The Indian rupee has slipped to a fresh record low of 88.33 against the dollar, pressured by US tariffs, heavy importer hedging, and foreign outflows. Analysts warn it could slide toward 89–90 if the dispute drags on, though RBI may intervene. This comes even as India's economy logged a robust 7.8% growth last quarter. SpiceJet Fined Over Delay A Mumbai consumer court has ordered SpiceJet to pay ₹55,000 to a passenger after a 14-hour Dubai–Mumbai delay where the airline served only a burger and fries. The ruling reminded carriers that technical glitches don't excuse neglecting passengers. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

McKay returns today to conduct an exploration into the profound impact of having a clear vision for your future, arguing that a well-defined destination is not just a dream but a practical navigation tool that provides direction, fuels motivation, and builds resilience. Drawing upon compelling stories of adventurers, athletes, and innovators, he reveals that knowing where you want to end up is the first and most critical step in achieving personal and professional success, especially when facing overwhelming obstacles.To demonstrate this principle, McKay shares several powerful accounts of vision in action. He tells the story of Jessica Watson, a 16-year-old who, driven by a clear goal, became the youngest person to sail solo around the world despite a terrifying early crash and life-threatening storms. He recounts how dense fog at the 2010 PGA Championship neutralized the world's best golfers, proving that even top professionals are lost without a clear line of sight to their target. The episode also details the incredible journey of William Kamkwamba, a Malawian boy who built a windmill to power his village after his vision was sparked by a library book. Each story illustrates how a vivid mental picture of a desired outcome empowers individuals to make better decisions, overcome adversity, and turn the impossible into reality.Main Themes:A clear vision is an internal map that guides your choices and prevents you from drifting.Success is rarely an accident; it is almost always preceded by a compelling vision.Knowing your destination fuels the motivation and perseverance needed to overcome challenges.A well-defined vision acts as a filter, helping you make decisions that align with your long-term goals.You can navigate life's “foggy conditions” - uncertainty, fear, and discouragement - with a strong internal vision.Vision generates the faith required to take small, consistent actions that lead to monumental results.Leaders inspire greatness by helping others create and hold on to their own vision.Your ability to visualize success directly impacts your performance and your ability to act with courage.Break down enormous goals by focusing on the small, daily actions that move you toward your vision.Knowing where you are going allows you to recognize and celebrate progress, which is vital for long journeys.Top 10 Quotes:“Behind every achievement lies a clear, compelling vision.”“When we don't have a clear vision of where we want to land, we can't act with certainty or courage.”“Clarity about where you want to go prevents drift.”“A clear vision does more than provide direction; it also inspires sustained motivation.”“When you know where you're going, setbacks are not the end of the story.”“Leaders help others keep their vision and faith.”“Clarity is power, and vision is the first step towards turning dreams into reality.”“Small, faithful acts done repeatedly change the direction of business and life.”“If you can see it in your mind, you can hold it in your hand.”“If you can dream it, you can do it.”Show Links:Open Your Eyes with McKay Christensen

Thriving in Uncertainty: Leadership, Learning, and Performance Science with Dr. Carla FowlerIn an unpredictable world, leaders and professionals need more than strategies—they need resilience, adaptability, and insight. In this episode, host Josh Elledge sits down with Dr. Carla Fowler, Founder and Managing Director of THAXA®, to explore how high performance, deliberate learning, and science-backed leadership approaches can help individuals not just survive, but thrive in uncertainty.Mastering Learning and Leadership in UncertaintyDr. Carla Fowler brings a unique perspective, combining human biology, immunology, medicine, and over a decade of executive coaching to offer a research-backed approach to performance and learning. She emphasizes that adult skill acquisition is a marathon requiring both engagement and rigor, with fun and motivation playing a crucial role in long-term success. Leaders must balance immersive, playful learning with targeted, high-impact methods for urgent challenges.Equally important is reframing uncertainty as a source of opportunity rather than stress. Dr. Fowler explains that while uncertainty is inevitable, our perception and response define the outcome. By carving out time for continuous learning and deliberately shifting from reactive to proactive thinking, leaders can leverage ambiguity to drive growth and innovation.Finally, deliberate thinking and internal control are essential for effective leadership. Dr. Fowler underscores the importance of creating intentional moments for reflection, practicing self-awareness, and reclaiming control over one's decisions and priorities. This allows leaders to operate from a proactive mindset, rather than being driven by external pressures or constant mental chatter.About Dr. Carla FowlerDr. Carla Fowler is the Founder and Managing Director of THAXA®, combining expertise in human biology, immunology, and medicine with over ten years of executive coaching experience. She helps leaders and professionals apply performance science to thrive under uncertainty, fostering both personal and organizational growth.About THAXA®THAXA® is a performance science and executive coaching firm dedicated to helping leaders develop practical skills, resilience, and self-awareness. The company provides research-backed strategies to improve decision-making, learning, and leadership effectiveness in complex and unpredictable environments.Links Mentioned in This EpisodeTHAXA® WebsiteDr. Carla Fowler on LinkedInKey Episode HighlightsDr. Fowler emphasizes the importance of balancing fun and rigor in learning, embracing uncertainty as a growth opportunity, practicing deliberate reflection, and reclaiming internal control to lead effectively. Leaders can apply these insights immediately by scheduling focused learning, prioritizing tasks aligned with their goals, and developing skills to transform ambiguity into advantage.ConclusionNavigating uncertainty requires more than reactive strategies—it demands intentional learning, self-awareness, and proactive leadership. Dr. Carla Fowler's insights provide a roadmap for leaders to cultivate resilience, improve decision-making, and harness the power of performance science for both personal and professional growth.

In this Planning Aces special, three finance leaders map how AI is moving FP&A from dashboards to decisions. Andrew Casey (Amplitude) shows agents automating analytics, experiments, and order-to-cash checks to democratize insight and speed action. Eric Brown (Cohesity) contrasts AI's capital intensity with the cloud era and spotlights an “epic data battle” where privileged datasets drive advantage. Chris Miorin (APEX Analytix) links on-prem investment and clean data to faster product velocity. Co-host Brett Knowles ties it together: avoid AI-washing; structure data; target reconciliations and cycle-time compression; and lead with outcomes. Viewpoints, AI's value depends on governance, access, and execution discipline.

Watch the YouTube version of this episode HEREAre you a law firm owner looking to create better work environments for your staff? In this episode of "The Guild Live Show," Tyson explores why every team does not always thrive in a so-called “innovative” culture, emphasizing the importance of tailoring workplace environments to unique needs. Tyson speaks to the importance of culture fit for companies who want to create healthy work environments. Sometimes the culture of a firm involves a certain type of individual who will make the firm better. Relying on creating a team of misfits can create environments where people might not be able to keep up and it can be damaging. If the environment of your firm is fast paced, it is important to hire people that fit that mold. Leaders play a role in creating and determining what the culture is and it is important that leaders know what they want for their firm.Good work environments support employee's development and mental health. Tyson shares some team activities leaders can coordinate to boost cognitive health. This can be things employees do solo or the team does together. Ideas include the team tracking their sleep to find out how much is needed to be productive, creating 90 minute work blocks where everyone does focused tasks and committing to minimizing some low value channels of information, like social media.Take a listen.1:20 The importance of culture fit over emulating large companies4:00 Leaders' role in creating cultures that attract and repel talent8:55 5 ways to make yourself less intelligent15:14 Suggestions for team activities to boost cognitive healthTune in to today's episode and checkout the full show notes here.
