I was traveling recently, and the person sitting next to me on the plane asked me what I did. I mentioned that companies hire me and my team members to come in and make meeting more fun and interesting.She said, "Give me your card. I just left one of the most boring and taxing meetings ever organized."And actually, that happens a lot. When event planners organize meetings, their time is limited. And they want to maximize the time they have available.So, the technical, business related topics take priority and the person, fun stuff sometimes has to take a back seat.So this week, I want to give you one of my favorite and absolutely most versatile team games. This is the one that we teach to our brand-new presenters to let them cut their teeth on because it is very easy to deliver and it has a ton of different takeaways.So, you can use this as a meeting icebreaker at your normal weekly staff meeting or as a warm-up activity for 1000s of people.We call it the Tennis Ball Team Building Game, but I've heard it called The Cycle, the Ball Circuit, and a bunch of other names.Show Notes: Tennis Ball Game – A Fun Team Building Game(https://www.leadersinstitute.com/resources-tennis-ball-game/)

In this powerful and engaging talk from The Builders Summit 2025, Seye Bandele breaks down one of the most underrated yet absolutely essential skills every founder must master: sales. Titled “The Best Founders Are Salespeople – How to Sell Anything,” this session isn't just a presentation, it's a wake-up call for every startup founder, builder, and visionary who thinks product alone will carry them to success.Seye opens the session with an unexpected but effective icebreaker, asking the audience to turn to their neighbors and sell them a pretend laptop. He shows how every conversation, pitch, or meeting is an opportunity to sell: your idea, your product, your team, your vision.At the heart of Seye's message is this truth: a founder who can't sell won't survive. The early days of any startup demand traction, validation, and most importantly paying customers. As Seye puts it, “You need someone to give you money in exchange for the value you bring. And no one else can sell that better than you.” Founders must learn to translate abstract ideas into emotionally compelling stories that build trust. It's not enough to talk about features or markets. You have to connect at a human level, and that means mastering the art of selling.Throughout his talk, Seye unpacks the key skills every founder must develop to become a great salesperson: storytelling, active listening, building rapport, having thick skin, and deal closure. These aren't just techniques—they're mindsets. Sales is more than persuasion. It's about understanding needs, navigating objections, and moving people from awareness to action.He emphasizes that great salespeople get conversion rates of about 20%, which is excellent in real-world terms. So founders must get comfortable with rejection, learn from it, and keep showing up. In selling, You must start with your "why". It's not enough to lead with product specs or competitive advantages. What do you believe? What future are you inviting people into? That's where trust begins.Seye also introduces the SELL Framework, a practical mental model for approaching sales. While the full breakdown is best experienced in the video, the core idea is that sales isn't about manipulation, it's about belief. You first have to believe deeply in the thing you're selling before anyone else will. He even challenges founders to start with their own team: “If you're not actively selling to your social media marketer, you're missing a big opportunity.” Getting your team to truly buy in is the first layer of external persuasion.This talk is a must-watch for anyone building something from scratch. Whether you're a solo founder, a startup operator, or just someone trying to get better at persuasion, this video will reshape how you think about sales—not as a dirty word, but as your most powerful tool.If you've ever felt stuck at the early stage, unsure of how to get people to pay attention, trust you, or convert—this is the talk you need to watch.Timestamps:00:00 - Intro00:30 - Icebreaker activity02:45 - Why Founders Must Be Salespeople07:50 - Key skills you need to be a great sales person11:47 - How to sell anything15:00 - The SELL Framework15:40 - Q&AsDon't forget to like, share, and subscribe for more insightful talks from The Builders Summit 2025.#SeyeBandele #StartupSales #Founders #HowToSellAnything #BuildersSummit2025 #StartupTips #SalesFramework #Storytelling #Entrepreneurship #FoundersMindset #StartupGrowth #EarlyStageFounder #Leadership #SalesForFounders #BuildSellGrow

In an industry dominated by fast fashion, our next US National Science Foundation funded Regional Innovation Engine is working to bring sustainability and circularity to the textile industry.Headquartered in Morganton, the NSF Textile Innovation Engine in North Carolina –or The Textile Engine–is working to make the Southeast's Textile Belt a home for innovation and the lifeblood of its communities. I sat down with Co-Deputy CEO Molly Hemstreet and CEO Anne Wiper to talk about the future of textile production, the true cost of fast fashion, and how each of us can reduce and recycle the pounds upon pounds of textile waste Americans produce each year.Molly Hemstreet is Co-Deputy CEO of the NSF Textile Innovation Engine in North Carolina, where she leads workforce development and regional engagement initiatives. She is also the Co-Founder and Co-Executive Director of The Industrial Commons, which supports over 2,500 workers through its collaborative, member-led network of textile manufacturers and workplace development programs.Through her experience and leadership, she has organized economic development initiatives across rural Western North Carolina, founded Opportunity Threads, which has grown into the largest U.S.-based worker-owned cut-and-sew facility, and co-founded the Carolina Textile District in 2013, a strategic value chain focused on revitalizing textile manufacturing across the Carolinas.Anne Wiper is the CEO of the NSF Textile Innovation Engine in North Carolina, where she leads efforts to strengthen the U.S. textile industry through cutting-edge research, commercialization of circular and regenerative materials, and workforce development. Her work centers on advancing innovation, resilience, and collaboration within the domestic textile supply chain.Anne brings decades of industry experience to The Textile Engine, drawing on her previous roles as Vice President of Product for Smartwool and Icebreaker, brands under VF Corporation, as well as leadership positions at Salomon Sports and Nike across the U.S. and Europe. In addition, Anne has been a faculty lecturer in the University of Colorado Masters of the Environment program since 2022.  Listen to the full episode to hear:How offshoring textile production impacts not only our economy but our emergency preparednessBreaking down the forces that have led to overproduction and offshoring of the vast majority of our textile productionWhy keeping textile waste management in the US matters How sustainable systems in textiles can actually lower the cost of goods and positively impact works and their communitiesHow the Textile Engine is addressing their core pillars and building consortia among institutionsThe challenges to revitalizing an industry in communities that prior downturns have impactedLearn more about Molly Hemstreet:Connect on LinkedInLearn more about Anne Wiper:Connect on LinkedInLearn more about Anika Horn:Social VenturersSign up for Impact CuratorInstagram: @socialventurersResources:NSF Textile Innovation Engine in North CarolinaThe Industrial CommonsOpportunity ThreadsMaterial ReturnTOSSNext Technology TecnotessileCradle to Cradle: Remaking the Way We Make Things, William McDonough, Michael Braungart The Book of Hope A Survival Guide for Trying Times, Jane Goodall

“Let's go around the room and introduce ourselves with your name and something interesting about you”. Does that icebreaker moment fill you with joy? If not, you're not alone. But is it simply a matter of preferences, or are there deeper processes at play when it comes to disliking icebreaker activities? That's what we explore in this episode of The Gentle Rebel Podcast. https://youtu.be/GCkwfYppGNM What Does “Highly Sensitive” Mean? High sensitivity is a term used to describe the scientifically recognised trait known as sensory processing sensitivity. It's not a disorder, but a biological trait found in around 20-30% of the population. Highly sensitive people have more finely tuned nervous systems that absorb and process sensory and emotional input more deeply. More sensitive nervous systems naturally absorb larger volumes of environmental data and process it deeply. This means HSPs (those who score higher for sensitivity along a universal continuum), are more sensitive to social nuances and more susceptible to the effects of social stimulation. They may need time to pause and calibrate when entering unfamiliar environments and meeting new people. Icebreaking or Ice-Melting? This episode builds on the previous one about "social sensitivity". I use the metaphor of making, breaking, and melting ice to frame what happens in social settings: Making Ice: The natural protective barrier that forms as we orient ourselves in new environments. Breaking Ice: Attempts to force through that barrier, often too fast and without consent. Melting Ice: A gradual, relational process where connection develops at a sustainable pace. Icebreaker: What's the most horrific icebreaker you've ever had to do? (I would love to know!) Icebreaker activities are intended to reduce tension and help people connect quickly. But there may be times when, for HSPs, they have the opposite effect. Instead of inviting a sense of warm welcome, they can put the nervous system on the defence, unnecessarily using up energy and inner resources. This is especially true when we're asked to perform, share personal details, or think on the spot. In the episode, I share a few stories (including one from my time as an undertaker) that highlight this tension, and explore how the expectation to "come out of our shell" can become a subtle form of social pressure. Why Icebreakers Often Backfire Many highly sensitive people need time to pause and check before jumping into social interaction. This isn't about fear or social anxiety — it's a natural regulation strategy that helps us process our surroundings and determine if it's safe to engage. When that pause is misinterpreted as shyness or resistance, we can feel judged or pushed to open up before we're ready. Over time, this can reinforce feelings of shame or self-doubt in social settings. There is a difference between disclosure and trust. Jumping into “fun facts” can leave us feeling exposed rather than connected. This may linger in the nervous system through regret and shame. What Helps Highly Sensitive People Connect? We're not just here to dunk on icebreakers though. I also offer some reflections on what helps melt the ice more gently for HSPs, including: Setting clear expectations and permissions (e.g. “It's OK not to speak”) Creating space for people to arrive in their own time Modelling honesty, humour, or gentle vulnerability Avoiding performative tasks or forced introductions Recognising the value of awkwardness and letting it be These insights are especially useful if you're designing group sessions, facilitating meetings, or simply want to understand how to support the sensitive people in your life. Over To You What helps you melt the ice in social situations? Have you ever felt misjudged for taking time to settle in a group? What's the worst icebreaker you've ever experienced? (We can laugh now!)

‘I wouldn't change a thing. I'd go through all that suffering again and again knowing that what I've got now is what I'll have at the end of it.' In this engaging icebreaker with Karl Hinett, the discussion centres around a H-Hour patron Q&A held before the London Marathon. The episode dives into deep questions on politics, military life, and personal experiences. Karl reflects on his entry into the military, the moral complexities of war, and the impact it has had on his life and outlook.

He also discusses how his severe injuries led to self-improvement, emphasising the value of time and community support. The session closes with plans to explore Karl's journey as a motivational speaker and endurance athlete in the forthcoming podcast.

Following his injuries, he underwent 16 operations over five years to recover. Since 2005, he has participated in numerous marathons and ultra-marathons, including running a total of 100 marathons in 2011 and 2012. In March 2025, he and other veterans raised £90,000 through an Arctic challenge, emphasizing the importance of teamwork and friendship.
