According to the latest State of the GlobalWorkplace 2025 report, released by Gallup. $9.6 trillion in productivity could be added to theeconomy if the global workforce were fully engaged.That would represent a 9% increase in global GDP.

In The Unfinished Metropolis: Igniting the City-Building Revolution (Island Press, 2025), Benjamin Schneider argues that American city-building is a lost art. U.S. cities used to constantly evolve, experimenting with new urban designs and ambitious infrastructure projects, from railroads and subways to public housing and shopping malls. But in recent years, the country has continued pursuing the same mid-20th century urban development plans—freeways, downtown office towers, suburban housing developments. The Unfinished Metropolis covers how this pattern is why Americans are so dependent on their cars, why housing is so expensive and homelessness is at crisis levels, and why downtowns are struggling and communities are fraying. Over the course of an engaging tour of the built environment, Schneider explores common urban designs that shape our lives and color our cultural imagination: office parks, apartments, single family homes, and transit systems. He explains how these forms came to be, why they no longer function as promised, and introduces readers to the advocates and professionals around the country who are working on transformative new solutions. Benjamin Schneider is a freelance journalist covering all things urbanism. His work has appeared in Bloomberg CityLab, MIT Technology Review, Slate, The Nation, the Los Angeles Times, and many other publications. He also writes a Substack newsletter called, “The Urban Condition.” This interview was conducted by Timi Koyejo, an urbanist who has worked as a researcher at the University of Chicago and as an urban policy advisor to the City of Chicago.

In Episode #36 of NAPFA Nation, host Marie Swift speaks with NAPFA CEO Kathryn Dattomo to unpack the association's new strategic framework for 2026 and what it means for fee-only fiduciary advisors. Dattomo shares how the framework grew out of a full year of listening sessions, surveys, and focus groups with NAPFA members and volunteer leaders, ultimately coalescing into three core pillars that are designed to be practical, member-driven, and tightly aligned with NAPFA's mission. The conversation explores how NAPFA plans to elevate the fiduciary standard by clarifying what fiduciary conduct looks like within the association, strengthening its advocacy voice around consumer protection, and helping advisors better communicate the value of fee-only advice to the public. Dattomo also explains how NAPFA will ignite connections through a redesigned website, a more robust member engagement hub, and an enhanced 'Find an Advisor' tool that makes it easier for consumers to locate fiduciary planners and understand why the fee-only model matters. Rounding out the framework, she highlights NAPFA's commitment to deepening professional education with more advanced, technical, and expert-driven content, expanded learning pathways from early career to advanced practice, and new online and on-demand opportunities rolling out as early as the first quarter of the new year. As the year-end episode, Marie Swift closes the episode by noting that NAPFA Nation will go on sabbatical following this release, thanking listeners for their support, and encouraging advisors to watch for upcoming announcements as NAPFA brings its new strategic vision to life in 2026. In a nutshell: NAPFA's new strategic framework for 2026 was shaped by a year-long process of member surveys, focus groups, and board and volunteer input to ensure it is practical and member-driven. The plan is organized into three pillars: elevating the fiduciary standard, igniting connections through community and engagement, and deepening professional education and learning. Elevating the fiduciary standard focuses on clarifying what fiduciary conduct means for NAPFA members, strengthening advocacy around consumer protection, and helping advisors clearly communicate the value of fee-only fiduciary advice. Igniting connections centers on enhancing the member experience through a redesigned website, a more robust member engagement hub, and an improved Find an Advisor tool that makes it easier for consumers to find and understand fee-only fiduciary planners. Deepening professional education emphasizes more advanced and technical programming, expert-driven content, new formats and tracks at conferences, and expanded online and on-demand learning opportunities beginning as early as the first quarter of 2026. Special Note: In 2023, we rebranded the NAPFA podcast with a new album cover and series title: NAPFA Nation. We are shifting our monthly episodes to bring you inspiring conversations and key insights from leaders in the Fee-Only financial planning profession. Marie Swift, Founder and CEO of Impact Communications, will continue on as host, interviewing a variety of NAPFA members and professionals. You will still be able to find on this channel the 32 Mindset Mastery episodes with respected fiduciary financial planners and allied advocates who are committed to accomplishing great things as they master their own mindset and continue to serve their clients in the best ways possible.

In this episode, Mark Raffler and Bridget Rieth connect with longtime Kent ISD mentor & author, Ellin Oliver Keene. Ellin's book, research, and leadership around student engagement inform the topic of today's podcast. Engaging Children addresses the ongoing challenges and payoffs of centering student engagement as a foundational priority in classrooms and schools. Regardless of grade level or curriculum, students who connect to classroom experiences in meaningful ways are more likely to retain and reapply their learning. Engaged students want to show up and want to learn. They have a greater sense of belonging in the school community and are more able to connect their learning to the outside world in which they live.Ellin Keene discusses defining and teaching engagement, student-centered practices and ownership, and measuring, discussing, and prioritizing engagement within required curriculum.Here are some highlights from our conversation: Engagement is Essential for Retention and Reapplication: The data on learning loss without engagement is "shocking," showing that only between 15% and 20% of kids will carry learning forward if they are not engaged. Educators must prioritize engagement because it directly determines whether students retain and reapply knowledge across time intervals.Distinguish Between Teacher Motivation and Student Ownership: Motivation is often perceived as something adults do to children, while engagement is something students own, work on, and reconnect themselves with. Teachers need to move away from being constant promoters and instead teach students how to be metacognitive about their engagement, enabling them to recognize when they are disengaged and take action to re-engage.Utilize the Four Pillars of Engagement: The four pillars-Intellectual Urgency, Emotional Resonance, the Aesthetic World, and Perspective Bending-provide educators and students with a common, shared language for discussing true engagement. Educators should talk about engagement spontaneously and in a planned way, literally naming the type of engagement when it emerges in the classroom to help students wield it as a powerful learning tool.Student Choice and Ownership is Critical: Choice serves as a hallmark of a student-centered classroom that yields better results. Without choice throughout their day, students are unlikely to remember and reapply what they are taught, which creates tension when teachers must adhere closely to required scripts. Utilizing materials that students love and aesthetically respond to is a powerful way to foster engagement and ownership.Prioritize Fidelity to the Standard Over Materials: Educators are critical thinkers who should use their artistry to make discerning decisions, supplementing or replacing required tasks, like repetitive graphic organizers, that cause student disengagement. Teachers should also focus on skills grounded in research and adjust instruction accordingly.Concluding with our normal podcast protocol, we ask for resources for educators to learn more about Engaging Children, Igniting a Drive for Deeper Learning.

Send us a textIn this episode, we move into the fiery centre of the body — the Solar Plexus Chakra, or Manipura. This chakra governs your personal power, confidence, and the way you take action in the world. It's the energy of self-worth, motivation, and the inner fire that helps you stand tall in your truth.When your Solar Plexus is balanced, you feel empowered, decisive, and aligned with your purpose. You trust yourself and move through life with clarity and strength. But when this energy is blocked or overactive, it can show up as self-doubt, lack of motivation, control issues, or an inner critic that keeps you small.We'll explore how to reconnect with your inner fire, transform fear into empowerment, and reclaim your sense of self. You'll also learn practices to strengthen your boundaries, cultivate confidence, and realign with your authentic power.This is your reminder that your light was never meant to be dimmed — it's time to remember the strength that has always been within you.All my love, Hannah xoxo
Please join Victoria Hart and me as we talk about Awakening Your Soul Path: Dissolving Glamours and Igniting the New Light. In this talk with Victoria we will discuss: -What does it really mean to awaken your soul path — and why do so many of us feel like we're doing the ‘right things' but still feel misaligned? -What are spiritual glamours, and how do they keep us from aligning with our true soul path? -What are some ways we can begin to dissolve these glamours and align with our soul path — in a practical, embodied way? -How can we tell the difference between a personality-driven path and a soul-led one? -Why do some people still feel empty or off-path even after years of spiritual work or success? -What does resonance as the soul's language mean? -Victoria will be taking live caller questions and will also be facilitating a guided transmission and activation to help us all remember why we came here.

Sir Bartle Frere had sailed into South Africa in March 1877 - lauded as a great British administrator in India. He arrived just in time to witness Sir Theophilus Shepstone seize, sorry, annex the Transvaal under the noses of the incredulous and in equal amounts, contemptuous Boers. Frere was another of Carnarvon's boys, determined to enforce confederation onto south Africa. He was regarded as one of the most effective English civil servants in India, keeping the vital province of Sind quiet during the recent Indian Mutiny, and as Governor of Bombay, now Mumbai, he had been instrumental in upgrading the vast city's infrastructure. He was by accounts, a man of integrity and quiet, diffident even as Frank Walsh puts it. The British Royal Family were friends, he was a member of the Privy Council and was showered with honours. India was compared to South Africa, it was diverse, more populous yes, but in India he dealt with sophisticated Indian Rulers and merchants. Carnarvon regarded Sir Bartle Frere as the ideal man to settle the quarrelsome and individualistic South African communities. But he was Indian in his experience, and not African. By contrast to the sophisticated Indian Rulers, South Africans were and are uncomplicated and pugnacious. All its people were the same then as we are now. Whatever our backgrounds, we remain pugnacious Africans, English, Afrikaners, Blacks, Coloureds, Indians and tick whatever box suits you on form XYZ. It would take only a few years trying to govern the ungovernable before he disintegrated in delusion, self-deception, irrationality and apparent senility. Frere had barely settled into his governor's armchair to read Shepstone's report into the latest challenges in the Transvaal — when the Ninth Frontier War burst into flame in the Eastern Cape.The amaMfengu had taken rapidly to the opportunities afforded by being part of the Cape Colony, and were also taking to urban trade in a revolutionary way. The Gcaleka resented the success of the amaMfengu, as well as their relationship with settlers. The Gcaleka were suffering the effects of the last war, the longest Frontier War and also the most vicious. Across the Kei, alcoholism was spreading, and poverty seeped through every household — made far worse by the actions of Nongqawuse's cattle killing episode. What pushed everyone over the edge was mother nature, a series of devastating droughts across the Transkei destabilised the situation further. As Historian De Kiewiet says, in South Africa the heat of drought easily becomes the fever of war. What was supposed to be a wedding celebration in September 1877 turned into a bar fight when the tensions emerged after Gcaleka harassed the amMfengu in attendance. Things got a lot worse later that day when some Gcaleka men attacked a Cape Colony police outpost manned by amaMfengu in the main. Just a bit of trival violence said local officials, moving along, let the local police handle the matter. But back in Cape Town, Sir Bartle Frere sensed his moment partly because of his belief that Great Britain was spreading civilisation and eradicating barbarians, extending black rule over blacks, you know old chap, guiding them up the ladder of evolution and improving their standards of living through good administration and economic prosperity. Chief Mgolombane Sarhili kaHintsa of the amaGcaleka royal line was summoned by Frere but he had seen his ancestors summoned only to be thrown onto Robin Island. He ignored the summons so Sir Bartle promptly declared war on the amaXhosa. This was totally against the advice of the locals. All that Frere's warning did is prompt the warriors among his people to gather and mobilise. Cape Prime Minister, John Molteno refused to sanction any invasion of the Transkei when he heard that Frere had declared war on Sarhili. At a meeting between Molteno and Frere, the British Governor promised that imperial troops would stay put and not cross into Gcalekaland.

My guest on today's show is Matt Spielman, Founder and CEO of Inflection Point Partners, an executive coaching firm that works with leaders primarily in investment organizations. Matt first joined me on the show four years ago, where we discussed his path into executive coaching, inflection points in his career, and his GPS system that aligns an individual's goals and helps execute. Our conversation this time builds on that foundation with what Matt has learned since. We explore the challenges of leadership at the top, the personality dynamics that shape investment organizations, and the essential role of feedback, empathy, and appreciation in managing people. We discuss the evolution of Inflection Point from one-on-one coaching to firmwide leadership systems, and the role artificial intelligence may play in scaling his work going forward.
