How did a group of notoriously difficult French philosophers become intellectual rock stars on American college campuses — and how much do their ideas matter today?  In The Frenchmen, writer and editor Emily Eakin traces the unlikely rise of French theory and the thinkers who transformed how a generation understood language, truth, power, and identity. In this conversation with guest host Michael Kovnat, Emily explains why figures like Jacques Derrida and Michel Foucault became irresistible to students in the '70s and '80s, and how theory offered both intellectual sophistication and a new way to challenge the establishment. They explore how these ideas helped shape identity politics and our modern suspicion of institutions, why theory eventually fell out of fashion, and the scandals that accelerated its decline. Plus, Emily makes a surprising case for why the age of AI might prove some of the French theorists right.

The most famous work of our newest Doctor of the Church is, of course, The Idea of a University—a collection that explores the essence of a Catholic university education. But fewer people know about St. John Henry Newman's extensive efforts in primary and secondary education: Newman's part was not just as an educational theorist, but a school founder, who played every nitty-gritty role from fundraising to parent relations, from essay grading to student mentoring, even processing repair orders and playing second violin to fill out the little school's orchestra. Dr. Paul Shrimpton has spent decades studying Newman's interest in education, from theory to practice. Today on HeightsCast, he invites us into Newman's vision for younger students, their teachers, and grammar schools as places of "grounding" and "a really liberal education."

This week on the Oakley Podcast, Jeremy Kellett sits down with long-time shop foreman Toby Bishop to unpack how Oakley's shop operations are evolving to better serve owner-operators. They cover the design and opening of the new West Shop, the full remodel of the East Shop, and planned upgrades to the wash bay, including floor and lighting improvements. Toby explains Oakley's work-release and reentry programs with the state of Arkansas, highlighting how they give incarcerated individuals a real second chance and help them become strong employees. A major focus is the upcoming fleet-wide tire and wheel change from 11R24.5 to 22.5, why manufacturers are phasing out 24.5s, and how Oakley will manage costs, casings, and logistics during the transition. They also discuss trailer specs with MAC, strategies for keeping trailers looking sharp, and the underused capabilities of the Reserve LA terminal. The key takeaway for drivers: Oakley is investing heavily in facilities, equipment, and people to improve efficiency, safety, appearance, and long-term cost savings, and driver communication is critical to making these changes work.

"To do something creative you have got to believe in the superior genius of a group of people. The intergroup learning will compensate for any weakness you believe you have." Notable Moments [00:00] Bob Weis Shares a Dream Chasing Update [02:52] Introducing Imagineer Joe Rohde [05:46] The Collaboration Behind Floating Mountains [07:04] Setting Direction Without Controlling the Team [08:12] How Collaboration Changes an Idea [11:07] Pushing Beyond Expected Creative Boundaries [14:39] Why Creatives Need Other People [15:57] Joe Rohde's Perspective on AI [28:01] Understanding the Potential Value of Creativity Creative collaboration is more than bringing people together to execute one person's idea. According to legendary Disney Imagineer Joe Rohde, the contributions of the team should help shape what the idea ultimately becomes. Bob Weis returns to the show to share a conversation with Joe about his new book, Floating Mountains, and the philosophy behind his work. Joe explains why a director should provide direction rather than commands, how strong teams allow people to compensate for one another's weaknesses, and why truly original work rarely comes from individual genius alone. Joe also shares his perspective on AI and where he sees its greatest potential for artists. Take a listen to hear why the unpredictable way humans make connections still matters so much to creativity and how we can learn to see possibilities in the raw materials in front of us.

Artist Holli McEntegart's work has spent years exploring the idea of care, from motherhood and childbirth.

Professor of psychology Angela Duckworth is famous for her work on grit — the combination of passion and perseverance that leads to high achievement. But she's come to an increasing appreciation for the fact that success isn't just a matter of the qualities inside you; it's also driven by what's outside you — your peers, your mentors, and even your zip code.Today on the show, Angela, whose latest book is Situated: Find the People and Places That Bring Out Your Best, shares how our environments play a much bigger role in shaping us than we realize. She explains the three-box model of behavior, why relying on willpower is a fallible strategy for altering your habits, and why the most effective way to change yourself is to change what's around you. We discuss how different situations bring out different versions of ourselves and how to shape your surroundings to encourage good habits, mitigate bad ones, and become who you want to be — whether that means rearranging what's on your desk or moving across the country.Resources Related to the PodcastAngela's previous appearance on the AoM podcast: Episode #210 — Got Grit?AoM Podcast #887: The Golden Rules of Success With Bob Bowman AoM Podcast #1,023: Is Self-Control Overrated?

Bernardo Kastrup, PhD, is a computer scientist, who has recently completed a second doctoral degree in philosophy. He is author of Rationalist Spirituality, Why Materialism is Baloney, Dreamed Up Reality, Meaning in Absurdity, Brief Peeks Beyond, More Than Allegory, The Idea of the World, and Decoding Schopenhauer's Metaphysics. His latest book is Decoding Jung's Metaphysics: The Archetypal Semantics of an Experiential Universe. He has published several papers on Scientific American's website arguing for metaphysical idealism. His website is https://www.bernardokastrup.com/. In this interview, rebooted from 2021, he addresses a series of questions related to the possibilities for different versions of postmortem survival (i.e., reincarnation, possession, mediumistic communication, etc.) in the light of metaphysical idealism. He notes that, in all cases, he expects that the mental contents of personal consciousness will remain as part of an impersonal universal mind – i.e., the one mind that sees through the eyes of all creatures. With regard to the findings of psychical research and spiritualism, his attitude – while open-minded – was one of uncertainty and doubt concerning the quality of the purported evidence. New Thinking Allowed host, Jeffrey Mishlove, PhD, is author of The Roots of Consciousness, Psi Development Systems, and The PK Man. Between 1986 and 2002 he hosted and co-produced the original Thinking Allowed public television series. He is the recipient of the only doctoral diploma in "parapsychology" ever awarded by an accredited university (University of California, Berkeley, 1980). He is also the Grand Prize winner of the 2021 Bigelow Institute essay competition regarding the best evidence for survival of human consciousness after permanent bodily death. He is Co-Director of Parapsychology Education at the California Institute for Human Science.

3 Takeaways from my conversation with Deniz Kent, CEO of Prolific Machines: 1. Moonshot thinking starts with a real problem. Deniz saw conflict over resources and asked: what if cells could make everything we need? That question built a company. 2. The best technology has the lowest cost AND highest quality.

In this episode of Clover, I sit down with Andrea Bridges-Smith, founder of San Fenix, to talk about career pivots, finding confidence in front of an audience, and why a compelling story can make all the difference when you are trying to get people invested in an idea.Andrea's path has taken her from more than a decade in tech marketing to video production, political satire, and now presentation coaching for founders and executives. Along the way, she discovered that one of her greatest strengths was helping people get comfortable on camera and on stage. Today, she works with founders to clarify their stories, strengthen their pitch decks, and communicate their ideas in ways people will actually understand and remember.We also get into the flood of AI-generated content. We talk about using AI to eliminate repetitive work without handing over the creative process, why lived experience matters more than ever, and how companies can compete for attention by being willing to entertain, experiment, and sound like actual human beings.In this episode, we talk about:Why a founder's personal story can make a pitch far more memorable than credentials and numbers alone How to use AI to eliminate repetitive work without outsourcing your creativity or voice  Why creating more content is not the answer—and what makes people actually stop and pay attention  What separates founders who get people excited about their ideas from those with a good product but a forgettable pitch  Why even confident, accomplished people can freeze on camera or on stage—and how Andrea helps them find the version of themselves that can command the roomNotable quotes:“If you're going to put out one post on LinkedIn a month that is a barn burner versus a garbage one every day, I will take that one post every single time.”“That lived experience of ‘why are you doing this?' is what really makes a story unique, and it's something that AI simply can't give you.”“The fear needs to go sit over there so that the excitement can come out.”“You think that you are competing with other companies in your space. Not true. You are competing with Netflix. You are competing with MrBeast. You are competing with a book on someone's shelf.”“Please, God, consider having fun with your content and do less of it and do it better.”Connect with Andrea Bridges-Smith on LinkedIn and learn more about her work with San Fenix.

Why do organizations say innovation is mission-critical, then create conditions that make innovation almost impossible?Fiona Stevenson has spent her career on both sides of that problem.After 12 years at Procter & Gamble, she co-founded The Idea Suite, an innovation consultancy that has worked across hundreds of innovation projects. She is also the co-author of Built for Breakthrough: Why Innovation Fails and How Smart Leaders Get It Right.In this conversation, Fiona joins Marc and Vassilis to unpack why innovation usually fails long before the idea itself is tested.They explore the famous Febreze story and why understanding the actual consumer problem changed the brand's trajectory, before getting into the organizational conditions required for innovation to survive.Fiona explains why big innovation ambitions often collide with tiny budgets, part-time teams and unrealistic timelines; why past data can become dangerous when designing for the future; and why innovators need to build evidence instead of waiting for certainty.The conversation also covers Fiona's six-stage innovation framework:Identify → Insights → Inspiration → Ideation → Iteration → ImplementationAnd perhaps a seventh: Intuition.Plus:Why “we should…” is not an ideaWhy “How might we?” is such a powerful innovation questionHow AI is dramatically lowering the cost of prototypingWhy AI should be an input, not the final outputHow implementation destroys good ideas through “death by a thousand cuts”Why innovation needs dedicated time, not calendar scrapsHow to create an innovation charterWhy the best first step is simply defining the problem properlyIf your organization wants innovation but struggles to actually get ideas into market, this episode is for you.Enjoy the show!Chapters:00:00 Why Innovation Dies Before the Whiteboard01:36 Meet Fiona Stevenson02:16 From P&G to Innovation Consulting04:07 Moving From Client Side to Consulting05:41 The Febreze Innovation Story09:09 Why Consumer Understanding Comes First10:59 What Is Innovation, Really?13:02 The Uber Opportunity Fiona Turned Down14:24 Different Types of Innovation16:23 Big Innovation Ambitions vs. Organizational Reality17:44 Why Stakeholder Alignment Matters20:16 The Innovation Charter21:24 Fear and the Unknown22:00 Why Past Data Can Mislead Innovation23:48 Why Great Marketers Can Struggle With Innovation25:29 Getting Innovation Out the Door27:24 The Future Has No Data28:04 Challenging Assumptions With First Principles30:00 AI as a Tool for Building Evidence32:00 AI, Prototyping and Creative Potential32:51 AI Should Be an Input, Not the Output34:15 “We Should” Is Not an Idea36:03 Why “How Might We?” Changes the Conversation37:39 Fiona's Six I's of Innovation39:09 Insights, Inspiration & Ideation40:28 Why Iteration Matters41:53 Implementation and Death by a Thousand Cuts42:18 Protecting the Idea's DNA42:45 Is Intuition the Seventh I?45:05 Why Skipping Steps Kills Innovation47:06 The Most Undervalued Stage48:49 How Innovation Survives Budget Pressure50:17 Why Innovation Can't Be a Side Job51:39 What to Do Monday Morning53:48 Why Innovation Needs Champions54:26 It's Never Too Late to Redefine the Problem55:41 Built for Breakthrough Resources56:11 Where to Find FionaLink to the book:Built for Breakthrough - https://www.builtforbreakthrough.com/

What does it mean to fall in love with an object — and can an object become the focus of a genuine romantic relationship?In this episode of The StickyBeak, we dive into objectophilia, also known as objectum sexuality (OS) — a rare and often misunderstood phenomenon in which people experience romantic, emotional or sexual attraction to inanimate objects.From the woman who famously fell in love with and married the Berlin Wall to an objectophile who has formed a committed relationship with a roller coaster, this documentary-style episode explores what it means to experience love and attraction in a way most of us have never considered.What draws someone to an object? Can you really fall in love with something that can't love you back? And is objectophilia a fetish, a sexual orientation, an identity — or something more complex?We explore love, attachment, attraction, psychology, relationships and social stigma, while hearing directly from people who experience objectophilia themselves.If you've ever wondered what objectophilia is, why some people fall in love with objects, or what it's like to be in a relationship with something inanimate, this episode takes you inside a fascinating and unexpected world.Listen to The StickyBeak: She's in Love With a Roller Coaster: The People Who Fall in Love With Objects.Thank you so much to GaLooping for sharing her experiences.You can find her on Instagram here: @gigantischpropellerListen to her music on Suno here: @galooping1This episode was brought to you by Tüt, toilet lid stickers to zhuzh up your toot.

I was talking to my eldest son Jax the other day, and he said, "Dad, I got an idea of something you can talk about on your podcast."     I said, "Okay, whatcha got?"   He said, "What's the true key to success?  I know it's staying focused and fighting the force of average, but what is  the true key to success?"    I told him he had it all figured out and I had a proud dad moment, but he said he didn't quite understand what that meant, so I broke it down like this:    Focus + Don't Quit = Win.    Thomas Edison blew himself up 10,000 times before he got it right.     He was out trying to figure things out.    Blew things up.    Burned his barn.    Can you imagine your 10,000 attempts at something and you're still not right?    He finally figured it out.    Imagine the railroads.    People from other countries who didn't quit building the railroads. (Now we have transportation)    The railroad wasn't built in a day.    People today think they need some sort of instant success.    Solve a problem or objective.    Work to solve the problem.    Don't quit.    That's the true secret to success.    That one attempt made by Thomas Edison set their family up forever.    Start thinking like that and you'll never have to worry a day in your life.    About the ReWire Podcast   The ReWire Podcast with Ryan Stewman – Dive into powerful insights as Ryan Stewman, the HardCore Closer, breaks down mental barriers and shares actionable steps to rewire your thoughts.

Democracy is in the dumps. OK, that's a bit dramatic. But it's definitely not working as well as it used to. Good thing Daron Acemoglu — Nobel laureate, MIT Institute Professor, and one of the world's most-cited economists — has a plan to fix it. Today on the show, he explains why liberal democracy has faltered in the post-industrial age and makes the case for upgrading it to a new "working-class liberalism" built around good jobs, strong communities, and greater tolerance. We also discuss what today's populist movements get right and wrong, and why immigration has become such a powerful political fault line. Plus: Why Daron, once skeptical that AI would amount to much economically, now thinks a transformation larger than the Industrial Revolution is on the table. His new book is What Happened to Liberal Democracy? Remaking a Politics of Shared Prosperity. __________

Marc Weitz had never owned a motorcycle, wasn't much for a plan and had three sources pointing toward two different routes. Then he rented a bike in Kabul and set out across Afghanistan toward the Minaret of Jam. Which route would he trust—and how would he know whether he was still on a road at all?

Seis años después de nuestra primera conversación, volvemos a sentarnos con Víctor González, fundador de Eco's Sports Park, para ver qué pasó con aquella visión que muchos pensaban que no iba a funcionar.Víctor cuenta cómo nació la idea de mezclar deporte, entretenimiento, comida y nightlife en un mismo lugar, por qué al principio hasta personas cercanas y bancos dudaban del concepto y cómo Eco's terminó evolucionando junto con la cultura deportiva de Puerto Rico.Entramos de lleno en la evolución del deporte en Puerto Rico, el crecimiento del pádel, las primeras canchas que trajo para Eco's cuando prácticamente nadie conocía el deporte y cómo estuvieron casi dos años sin despegar antes de que llegara la fiebre que vemos hoy.Además, Víctor revela los planes para la Fase 2 de Eco's: expansión del terreno, nuevas canchas, espacios para conciertos y eventos, nuevos conceptos de comida y bebidas, wellness, retail y una apuesta fuerte al turismo deportivo internacional.Una conversación sobre visión, riesgo, fracaso, innovación, deporte y lo que realmente toma construir algo diferente en Puerto Rico.

I recently sat down with Witney Schneidman to discuss his memoir, This Africa Idea: A Memoir of Discovery, Diplomacy and Opportunity, which chronicles his five-decade career. Witney shared how a 1971 gap year in Uganda, where he witnessed Idi Amin's coup d'état, inspired him to become a bridge of understanding between the U.S. and Africa. This turning point eventually led him to senior policy roles, including Deputy Assistant Secretary of State during the Clinton administration.During our chat, Witney emphasized his advocacy for trade over aid, noting that commercial partnerships offer far more sustainable growth than donor models. He reflected on monitoring the Sullivan Principles in apartheid-era South Africa and helping pass the African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA). Looking ahead, Witney continues to challenge one-dimensional narratives of Africa, urging people to see the continent as a dynamic hub of commercial and cultural agency.Great conversation, great book!

David Hebert discusses the fiscal debates surrounding Social Security's impending 2032 shortfall. Hebert refutes the idea that raising tax rates increases treasury revenue, noting that tax revenue historically remains constant at 17–18% of GDP because high rates prompt tax avoidance. Instead of "starving the beast" of resources, Hebert advocates for "starving the beast of responsibility" by decentralizing programs through federalism to cut administrative costs. He urges structural reforms to Social Security, highlighting that the ratio of workers supporting each retiree has plummeted from 40-to-1 down to 2-to-1. (4)

I want to alert you, so you don’t miss out on expert analysis and insider perspectives from my guests who provide tips that can help you uplift the community, improve your financial planning, motivation, or advice on how to be a successful entrepreneur. Keep winning! The core of Rushion McDonald's message is simple: success is not determined by age, circumstances, or luck. It is driven by mindset, consistency, accountability, and a willingness to take action. Purpose of the Presentation The presentation was designed to: Inspire people to stop using age as an excuse. Encourage accountability and self-reflection. Teach the value of creating and managing a personal brand. Emphasize the importance of health, family, and work-life balance. Provide actionable strategies for career and business growth. Help entrepreneurs recognize missed opportunities. Motivate listeners to create a plan for success and follow through. Key Takeaways 1. Age Is Not a Barrier to Success McDonald challenges the idea that success must happen by a certain age. He argues that everyone has a unique timeline and should focus on progress rather than comparing themselves to societal expectations. 2. Live Your Own Life There is no such thing as a perfect life. Success comes from creating a life that aligns with your goals, values, and aspirations. 3. Develop Hobbies and Interests Having a hobby provides balance, reduces stress, and creates opportunities for personal fulfillment. McDonald shares how baking and cooking became important outlets in his life. 4. Prioritize Health Success is difficult to sustain without good physical and mental health. Healthy habits, proper nutrition, and self-care should be priorities. 5. Make Time for Family and Vacations McDonald discusses how fear of stepping away from work once prevented him from taking vacations. He learned that rest, family time, and personal experiences are essential for long-term success. 6. Stop Letting Fear Control Decisions Fear often prevents people from taking action, pursuing opportunities, or making necessary changes. Personal growth begins when individuals move beyond self-imposed limitations. 7. Accountability Creates Opportunity A story from his IBM career illustrates how personal accountability changed his trajectory. Rather than blaming external factors, he learned to focus on improving himself and defining clear goals. 8. Professional Standards Matter How people present themselves influences how others perceive their value and potential. Setting higher personal standards often leads to increased opportunities. 9. Put Business Agreements in Writing One of McDonald's strongest business lessons is that successful relationships and ventures require documentation, structure, and professionalism. 10. Everyone Has a Personal Brand Whether you're an employee, entrepreneur, or executive, you are constantly creating a brand. Your reliability, appearance, communication, and consistency shape how others see you. 11. Build Your Brand Through Consistency Strong brands are predictable and dependable. Showing up on time, delivering quality work, and maintaining standards build trust and credibility. 12. Market Yourself McDonald encourages listeners to confidently communicate their value and accomplishments. In today's digital world, people must be willing to promote their strengths and expertise. 13. Be an Eagle, Not a Chicken One of the presentation's most memorable analogies contrasts eagles and chickens. Eagles represent ambition, excellence, leadership, and growth, while chickens symbolize settling for routine, low expectations, and mediocrity. 14. Create a Roadmap for Success McDonald outlines a simple framework for achievement: Set a goal. Make a plan. Get to work. Stick to it. Reach the goal. 15. Success Requires Communication Strong communication skills are critical in business and life. Listening is just as important as speaking. 16. Trust Is Built Through Consistency People trust individuals and brands that consistently deliver value and meet expectations. 17. Eliminate Bad Habits and Build Positive Systems McDonald encourages listeners to write down goals, find mentors, create vision boards, and remove behaviors that hinder growth.

What if creativity isn't a talent you're born with, but a muscle you've simply stopped using? In Daily Creative, Blythe Harris and Mallory May make the case that everyone is creative — even the people convinced they can't draw, paint, write, or make anything “good.” The real problem is that perfectionism, routine, and our obsession with getting things right have trained many of us to stop experimenting altogether. In this conversation with Rufus, Blythe and Mallory reveal why even a few minutes of creative play can boost well-being, sharpen your thinking, and pull you out of autopilot. They share simple ways to quiet your inner critic, explain why constraints can actually make you more creative, and show how noticing what catches your eye can help you develop a point of view that's genuinely your own. And in an age of AI and automation, they argue that exercising your creativity may matter more than ever.

Jen Psaki talks with David Plouffe, Barack Obama's 2008 campaign manager, about the balance of the congressional elections just a few months away from midterm elections, and the challenge Republicans face carrying the burden of Donald Trump's unpopularity when Trump's only campaign idea is to promote himself. Taken separately, Donald Trump's bad policies are problematic enough, his petulant tariffs, his foolhardy trade wars, his inexplicable war in Iran, his assault on immigrants, etc. But taken together they are a crippling burden hurting both supply and demand as well as resources and materials for operating farms and businesses. Jen Psaki discusses with Senator Amy Klobuchar, Democratic candidate for governor of Minnesota. Senator Mark Kelly joins to discuss the crisis Pete Hegseth has created in the American military.

An IDF social media video appeared to advise ultra-Orthodox Israelis facing military draft enforcement on how to avoid arrest at Ben Gurion Airport — and it was quickly deleted. In this episode of Israel Daily News, Shanna Fuld breaks down the controversy surrounding the now-deleted IDF video ahead of the annual Rosh Hashanah pilgrimage to Uman, Ukraine. The video reportedly used an AI character called “Dudy the Explainer” to explain how draft evaders could avoid being detained at the airport. The controversy comes as Israel's long-running battle over Haredi military service intensifies and new legislation has left some pilgrimage-bound Israelis facing draft-evader status. Shanna also examines the growing security tensions in Judea and Samaria, including the strategic significance of the proposed E1 settlement expansion, British pressure over Israeli settlements, and warnings about settler violence. Meanwhile, election season is heating up. Gadi Eisenkot is calling a two-state solution “delusional” following October 7th while simultaneously criticizing the E1 expansion as a strategic mistake. He also takes aim at Ministers Bezalel Smotrich and Itamar Ben-Gvir over settler violence. The episode also looks back at the 2014 Gaza war, including reports of secret direct back-channel contacts between Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Hamas through intermediary Shlomi Fogel — contacts that Netanyahu's office and Fogel have denied. Plus, Shanna speaks about Tal Goldstein-Almog, a young survivor of Hamas captivity, and highlights his interview with Australian journalist Erin Molan. And in a cultural tribute, Shanna remembers Dolly Parton and the extraordinary impact of her Imagination Library, including its connection to PJ Library and Israel's Sifriyat Pijama program. The episode also remembers Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama, including her acclaimed 2021 exhibition at the Tel Aviv Museum of Art. Finally, Rabbi Yossi Madvig explores this week's Torah portion, Ki Tavo, discussing light and darkness, the Messianic era, and the difference between the afterlife and the “world to come.” In this episode: • The controversial IDF video for draft evaders • Why the IDF deleted the video • The Haredi military draft crisis • The Rosh Hashanah pilgrimage to Uman • Airport enforcement and draft evaders • Rising tensions in Judea and Samaria • The E1 settlement expansion plan • British pressure over Israeli settlements • Gadi Eisenkot's election campaign • Israel's upcoming elections • IDF operations against October 7th attackers • Tal Goldstein-Almog and his experience in captivity • Reports of secret Netanyahu-Hamas contacts in 2014 • Israel Daily News' independent journalism • Rosh Hashanah gifts from Israeli artists • Dolly Parton's global legacy and PJ Library • Yayoi Kusama's legacy in Israel • Torah thought with Rabbi Yossi Madvig Support independent journalism: Israel Daily News is independently produced and does not work for the Israeli government.

We recorded our first-ever live show in front of a studio audience! Emmy Award–winning writer, director, and producer Adam Reid, co-creator of “Tiny Chef,” joined Cate to talk about ADHD creativity: what works, what doesn't, when to dig in, when to let things go, and why finishing things isn't always the point. Adam talked candidly about being diagnosed with ADHD at 45, after years of building an Emmy-winning creative career without knowing why his brain worked the way it did. And he and Cate shared how they make it work (or not) as neurodivergent creators. Check it out!

Episode 459: When the Dream Becomes the Routine: How to Keep Your Passion Alive (Even After Decades) Podcast Description Some days you love running a martial arts school. Other days you're tired, you're carrying too much, and you catch yourself going through the motions. In Episode 459 of School Owner Talk, Duane and Allie say the “quiet part” out loud: when you've been doing this for years (or decades), the dream can start to feel like routine. They break down why that happens—decision fatigue, constant responsibility, and living in “operations mode” instead of “impact mode.” Then they give you a real-world reset: how to reconnect to your mission, lead well even when you're not feeling it, and build systems and boundaries that protect your energy. If you've been feeling flat, this episode is your reminder that you're not broken—you're human. And routine doesn't mean the dream is dead. Key Takeaways 1) Repetition isn't the enemy—autopilot is Allie makes a great point using kata: repetition is how you get good. However, when repetition turns into autopilot, it can slide into apathy—where you're doing the work, but you're not connected to it. 2) The goal isn't to feel motivated every day—it's to stay connected to the mission Duane reframes the whole conversation: passion comes and goes, but your mission can stay steady. Your mission might evolve over time, and your goals might change as your life changes. Still, the core “why” is what keeps you grounded when your energy is low. 3) Passion vs. purpose vs. professionalism Duane breaks it into three simple buckets: Passion is emotion—it comes and goes. Purpose is direction—it should stay. Professionalism is what you do when the emotion isn't there. That's a big relief for school owners: you can be tired and still lead well. 4) Decision fatigue and constant responsibility drain you faster than you think Allie shares what it feels like to run a school with limited staff—teaching six days a week, worrying about coverage for something as basic as a medical appointment, and carrying the mental load of a thousand small things. Even “little” issues—like being the only one who turns off lights—add up. Over time, those constant micro-responsibilities can kill your smile. 5) “Onstage, backstage, offstage” can save your sanity Duane talks about the framework that helped him stay healthy: Onstage: teaching and customer-facing time Backstage: behind-the-scenes operations Offstage: true time off The key is being intentional about what belongs where—and training your team not to interrupt “onstage” with “backstage” problems unless it's truly urgent. 6) Act the part, and the motivation can follow Allie shares a story that ties everything together: performers don't get to have two bad shows because they're in a mood. As school owners, we often have to “act the part” and bring energy even when we don't feel it. And if you do it right, the motivation often shows up after you start. Duane references the idea that motivation follows action. 7) Don't bring a problem without a solution One of Duane's leadership guardrails: don't bring a complaint without at least one possible solution. Otherwise, it's just emotional dumping—and that's a fast way to drain the leader. 8) Protect your energy like it's payroll Duane and Allie both come back to this: you have to set rules, boundaries, and systems that protect you. That includes: Not training people to expect instant responses 24/7 Creating clear “hours of operation” expectations Delegating recurring tasks (without abdicating them) Using systems (and even AI) to reduce decision fatigue Action Steps for School Owners Step 1: Identify what's draining you vs. what gives you life Write two lists: What's draining you right now? What gives you energy and reminds you why you started? You can't fix what you won't name. Step 2: Fix one small operational friction this week Pick one “constant annoyance” and solve it. Sometimes getting the spark back starts with removing one recurring energy leak. Step 3: Make three “impact touches” in the next 48 hours Do three quick actions that reconnect you to impact: Praise a student Encourage a staff member Message a parent Step 4: Change the game (not the mission) with a teaching challenge Try a 30-day challenge: Pick one class per week Over-prepare for it Add one new drill, one new coaching cue, or one new way to explain a concept Duane's “Rule of Three” is a great example: explain a technique in three simple steps, then expand later. Step 5: Change the scoreboard—track wins that aren't enrollments Track wins like: retention saves student breakthroughs parent feedback staff growth moments Even better: ask parents to send you one win they saw in their child that week. Step 6: Build a 7–14 day reset plan Duane's quick reset plan: Write down what drains you and what gives you life Fix one small operational friction Make three impact touches Tighten one system that reduces chaos Take a real half-day off (no “kinda working”) Plan one thing you're excited to teach next week Additional Resources Mentioned Onstage / Backstage / Offstage framework (previously discussed on the podcast) Rule of Three teaching concept (simplify explanations into three key steps) Idea referenced: Motivation follows action Zig Ziglar quote: motivation isn't permanent (neither is bathing) Delegation vs. abdication (delegate and follow up)

“We're all salespeople at the end of the day.”Whether you're pitching a movie, an idea, or yourself, persuasion is about more than the story you're telling—it's also about the story your audience sees for themselves. For Deadpool and Zombieland screenwriter Rhett Reese, that means keeping communication concise, compelling, and centered on what your audience needs. In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, Reese joins Matt Abrahams to share lessons from screenwriting that apply far beyond Hollywood. From cutting unnecessary words to crafting pitches that make your audience the protagonist, he explores how storytelling, collaboration, and clarity can make any message more persuasive.Takeaways:Every pitch tells two stories. You're selling the idea itself, but you're also showing your audience how saying yes can solve their problem, reduce their risk, and lead to their success.Brevity makes your message stronger. Cutting unnecessary words and choosing them carefully helps your ideas land with greater clarity, impact, and memorability.Activity:Tell the second story. Take a pitch you're currently working on and write one sentence describing the idea you're selling. Then write a second sentence from your audience's perspective: “If I say yes, what becomes possible for me?” Use that second story to reshape your pitch around their success, not just your idea.Printable Expanded Takeaways & ActivitiesEpisode Reference Links:Rhett ReeseEp.167 Hollywood Lessons For Successful Communication Connect:Premium Signup >>>> Think Fast Talk Smart PremiumEmail Questions & Feedback >>> hello@fastersmarter.ioEpisode Transcripts >>> Think Fast Talk Smart WebsiteNewsletter Signup + English Language Learning >>> FasterSmarter.ioThink Fast Talk Smart >>> LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTubeMatt Abrahams >>> LinkedIn Chapters:(00:00) - Introduction (01:18) - Make Every Word Count (03:09) - How to Pitch an Idea (07:38) - Creatively Collaborating (10:35) - Creating Space for Feedback (12:49) - AI & the Future of Hollywood (16:44) - The Final Three Questions (23:15) - Conclusion ********Thank you to our sponsors.  These partnerships support the ongoing production of the podcast, allowing us to bring it to you at no cost.Strawberry.me.
