"Everybody has value to give." “It's not a game breaker, it's a game changer.” “How are you doing that differently? How are you going to stand out from the crowd?”   Episode summary | In this episode of the ROG Return on Generosity podcast, host Shannon Cassidy interviews Yvette Thornton, a registered patent agent and advocate for innovation and women in leadership. Yvette shares her journey from growing up on a farm in Virginia to her career in intellectual property, emphasizing the importance of collaboration, empowerment, and generosity. She discusses her advocacy for the National Down Syndrome Society, her experiences in patent law, and the lessons learned from her upbringing that shape her leadership style. The conversation also touches on navigating career transitions, the power of community, and the significance of recognizing one's own value and strengths.   R.O.G. Takeaway Tips | Leadership is about recognizing and valuing everyone's contributions. Empowering women in leadership roles is crucial for industry transformation. Advocacy for individuals with Down syndrome is about recognizing their abilities. Intellectual property protects innovations and encourages creativity. Listening and asking the right questions are key skills in patent law. Transitioning careers involves self-discovery and recognizing one's strengths. Generosity can come from unexpected places and has a ripple effect. It's important to grieve the loss of a job and give oneself time to heal. You are enough; own your strengths and contributions.   Chapters |  00:00 Introduction to Yvette Thornton and Her Journey 03:20 Growing Up on the Farm: Roots and Values 06:16 Influence of Family and Community on Leadership 08:59 Empowering Women in Leadership through WICT 11:57 Advocacy for Down Syndrome Awareness 14:48 Understanding Intellectual Property and Patents 15:43 The Journey to Becoming a Patent Agent 18:23 Innovations and Patents: The Impact of Ideas 21:21 Listening and Questioning: Keys to Innovation 23:10 Navigating Project Management and Innovation 24:34 Advice for Innovators: Protecting Your Ideas 26:34 Understanding Patents and Intellectual Property 27:48 The Power of Generosity in Professional Transitions 31:14 Embracing Career Transitions and Self-Discovery 35:27 Overcoming Self-Doubt and Embracing Your Value 39:00 The Importance of Asking for Help 42:15 Empowerment and Believing in Your Worth 43:21 Recharge and Leadership Style   Guest Bio | Yvette Thornton, a registered patent agent, is the driving force behind Clarke Innovations LLC, where she advises organizations on innovation strategies, operational improvements and intellectual property (IP).  Her work focuses on the intersection of engineering and IP, expanding access to patenting, and fostering innovation-driven cultures.  In her previous role as Director of Patent Development at Comcast NBCUniversal, Yvette collaborated with engineers and senior leaders to identify and capture innovation across the company.

In a crazy world it is hard to feel calm and peaceful. Mystics have always known that our journey is about moving away from trying to find an external locus of peace, and instead to search within. To some, the inner search takes them to mindfulness. For others, meditation and mindfulness are elusive. There are other parts of self that we can explore in order to find what we are seeking.In this episode of Mystery School with Shakti Durga we look specifically at our spirit. What is it? Where is it? What is Holy Spirit? What happens to our spirit when we go through difficult times? How can we look after our spirit? How is the spirit different to our soul?We look at that deep palpable sense of dullness or radiance that surrounds people including ourselves.

Interview with Mark Gordon, CEO, Odyssey Marine ExplorationRecording date: 29 May 2025Odyssey Marine Exploration (OMEX) represents a unique investment opportunity in the emerging seafloor mining industry, leveraging three decades of deep ocean expertise to address global critical mineral shortages. The publicly traded company has successfully transitioned from historic shipwreck recovery to modern mineral extraction, positioning itself as a first-mover in an industry valued in the billions.The company focuses on two strategic mineral categories essential for human needs: phosphate for fertilizer production and polymetallic nodules containing battery metals crucial for electrification. CEO Mark Gordon explains the operational advantage: "We learned how to use complicated equipment in the deep ocean, how to execute difficult projects in difficult environments." This expertise translates directly from archaeological recovery to geological extraction, utilizing the same sophisticated sonar systems, remotely operated submarines, and specialized vessels.Odyssey's most advanced project involves phosphate extraction off Mexico's Pacific coast, where the resource is valued in the billions under 43-101 standards. The project awaits final environmental approval following successful NAFTA arbitration against previous political interference. Mexico currently imports over 50% of its phosphate requirements, creating substantial domestic market potential. "Mexico could turn into a net exporter almost instantly with this project," Gordon notes.In the Cook Islands, Odyssey holds strategic minority stakes in two companies exploring cobalt-rich polymetallic nodules, with combined valuations approaching $9 billion. These investments provide battery metals exposure without direct operational requirements.Recent catalysts include President Trump's pro-mining executive order and Mexico's new science-friendly administration under President Sheinbaum. Gordon anticipates significant developments within 30-90 days for Mexico and 6-12 months for Cook Islands projects.The macro environment strongly supports seafloor mining development. As Gordon observes, "the critical minerals mankind is going to need into the future has to come from the 70% of our earth that's underwater because the 30% of the dry surface has been pretty exhausted." This fundamental resource constraint, combined with unprecedented demand for electrification and food security, positions Odyssey at the forefront of a transformational industry shift toward ocean-based mineral extraction.Learn more: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/odyssey-marine-explorationSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Are our communities really prepared for modern public safety threats? And what role do accreditation and credentialing play in building resilient fire departments?In this episode of Associations Thrive, host Joanna Pineda interviews Preet Bassi, CEO of the Center for Public Safety Excellence (CPSE). Preet discusses:The reasons fire departments pursue accreditation: to showcase excellence, correct operational failures, or continuously improve.Why CPSE's model works best for medium to large fire departments — big enough to implement a structured management model but small enough to pivot strategically.The challenges faced by rural volunteer fire departments, including lack of resources, equity of service, and training gaps amid increasing environmental and societal threats.The growing importance of fire departments defining and meeting "standards of cover" — performance metrics for different emergency scenarios.CPSE's internal commitment to strategic planning: transitioning from a “fix it” plan to their current “grow it” plan, with a people-first focus.How CPSE manages and celebrates its volunteers, and contractors, whose contributions amount to 28.5 full-time equivalents annually.The launch of the CPSE Center for Innovation, a new subsidiary to support evidence-based decision-making and broaden CPSE's impact in the field.Creation of the CPSE Community Experience to keep departments and credentialed individuals engaged between accreditation cycles.The shift in public safety from public administration to public policy — requiring departments to address homelessness, addiction, mental health, and affordable housing.Preet's Sikh heritage and how the value of seva (selfless service) influences both her career and personal life.References:CPSE WebsiteWhat is Seva?

Digital cohort-based learning programs that combine live sessions with interactive assignments and peer collaboration are increasing in popularity especially in leadership development. This is apparent in Brandon Hall Group's recent study “Igniting the Leadership Spark.” Their Principal Analyst Matt Pittman shares his insights on the study and what's behind the growth of cohort-based approaches. Show Notes:Brandon Hall Group Principal Analyst Matt Pittman shares the best practices that make up digital cohort-based leadership development. Cohort-Based Learning Is Here to Stay: Adoption of digital cohort-based learning has jumped from 27% in 2020 to 69% in 2024, driven by the need for scalable, cost-effective leadership development in remote and hybrid environments.Technology Simplicity and Integration Are Crucial: Success hinges on a user-friendly tech stack—ideally with a single access point for learners—that integrates live sessions, asynchronous content, collaboration tools, and progress tracking.Design for Engagement, Not Just Delivery: Virtual cohorts must be structured with interactivity in mind. Tools like breakout rooms, polls, whiteboards, and gamification help enhance engagement, as long as they align with learning objectives.Facilitators Need New Skills and Support: Leading digital cohorts requires facilitators to be tech-savvy and when possible supported by producers or moderators who can manage live session logistics, ensuring smooth learner experiences.Long-Term Impact Measurement Is Essential: Beyond course completion, organizations should evaluate leadership growth by tracking outcomes like internal promotions, retention, and on-the-job performance over time.Read “Leveraging Cohort-Based Learning for Leader Development”Learn more about the Brandon Hall Group Powered by Learning earned Awards of Distinction in the Podcast/Audio and Business Podcast categories from The Communicator Awards and a Gold and Silver Davey Award.
