No matter how much personal transformation work we've done, there will always be layers we haven't yet uncovered and places within us that still need healing. In this episode, I'm joined by Master Coach Robyn Graham to discuss what it means to heal from a place of connection and safety, and how everything begins to shift–for you and your coaching clients–when you open yourself to a more holistic way of thinking about growth and change.Robyn Graham is the host of a globally acclaimed podcast, The Robyn Graham Show, and the best-selling author of You, Me, and Anxiety: Take Action Over Anxiety to Enjoy Being You. She recently completed Master Coach Training with me, and today she shares the powerful shifts she has made in her life and business since then. After years of success as a business coach, Robyn has transitioned to focus more on personal coaching, specifically helping women navigate motherhood in relation to parenting and anxiety. Her approach is a testament to the deep healing and transformation that unfold when we create true safety within ourselves and in community.At the heart of Master Coach Training is the idea that to help others transform, we must first do our own healing work. Even after years of self-development, there can still be unprocessed trauma or nervous system dysregulation that keeps us disconnected from our deepest self. When we experience feeling safe–within ourselves and within a community–that's when healing can finally emerge. You'll hear from Robyn about how being surrounded by like-minded women in an encouraging environment is an invaluable experience. The deep healing and transformation that happens in a community of women is truly the magic of Master Coach Training.As coaches, we have a powerful opportunity to model what it looks like to know ourselves and lead from a place of peace. We don't just change our lives when we do that inner work; we ripple that peace and presence out to everyone around us. I can't wait for you to hear more about what's possible when we heal from a place of safety in this episode.What you'll learn:What self-connection and attuning to our emotions really means and why it has such a profound impactThe importance of connectedness in coaching and how to build greater awareness of itHow Master Coach Training offers permission to be vulnerable and a space to ask questions so you can move forward in your journeyWhy true strength means being grounded in yourself and open to connection with othersHow Master Coach Training provides you with the tools and guidance needed to work on your coaching businessYou can read the full show notes here.About Robyn GrahamDr. Robyn Graham is the founder of Robyn Graham, LLC.

You deserve to be in that room. You deserve your seat at that table. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise." ✅ The Chili Philosophy Why Chris's signature slow-cooked, blazing-hot chili is the perfect metaphor for patient, intentional leadership.

In this deeply heartfelt episode of The Circle of Hope, I reconnect with one of my favorite coaching partners, Donald Stup, for an intimate, live conversation about navigating life after a life-changing health diagnosis. Donald bravely shares his journey from discovering a tumor on his spinal cord to adapting to significant shifts in mobility—including time spent in a wheelchair and recovery from a broken hip. Our discussion goes far beyond medical procedures as Donald opens up about the real, daily mind games, fluctuating emotions, and the process of acceptance he's faced along the way.Throughout our talk, Donald and I explore the vital role that relationships play in helping us grow and thrive during adversity. He reflects on the invaluable support provided by his wife, faith, friends, and even unexpected acts of kindness from strangers. We dig into how simply being present and truly listening can be more transformative than any physical assistance. Our conversation also touches on the importance of workplace and spiritual support, and the unique perspective Donald brings as a coach, both giving and receiving guidance. Listeners will walk away inspired by Donald's resilience and the actionable ways we can all build a stronger circle of hope around ourselves and each other.Watch This If:You or a loved one is navigating a major health challenge or disabilityYou want to deepen the quality of support you offer othersYou're struggling to ask for or accept helpYou're interested in the intersection of faith, coaching, and personal growthYou work in healthcare, coaching, or support roles and want insight on truly impactful connectionEpisode Highlights:[00:03:36] Donald shares his diagnosis and the moment everything changed after spinal surgery[00:06:01] Discussing the tremendous impact of his wife's support and the different circles of trust[00:14:54] What true listening looks like—Donald's experience with a neuro physical therapist[00:23:16] The “compassion with a command” moment: an unforgettable act of kindness from a stranger during travel[00:26:40] Navigating workplace accommodations and how colleagues step up with empathy[00:40:36] Donald's reflections on faith, spirituality, and finding greater peace through acceptance[00:56:12] Advice for others navigating a new diagnosis or isolating situation—why reaching out mattersQuotes to Remember:“It was compassion with a command.

In this episode of The New CISO (Episode 136), host Steve Moore speaks with Carl Cahill, CISO, about a deliberate, methodical approach to career growth—and why every leader must “pick their pain” to progress.From combat arms in the U.S. Army to Active Directory engineering and large-enterprise incident response, Carl shares the pivotal choices that shaped his leadership. He opens up about moving from certifications to business fluency, using a personal gap analysis to chart his path to the C-suite, and how feedback like being called a “propeller head” pushed him to translate geek speak into the language of finance, law, and strategy. Carl also explains his five-phase 100-day plan, why IR readiness comes first, and how “radical collaboration” defines the modern CISO.Key Topics Covered:Early career pivots: Army leadership, perseverance, and precision → IT foundationsCertifications as a fast track (then) vs. blended learning and passion projects (now)The “pick your pain” decision: staying comfortable vs. returning to school to advanceBuilding a CISO gap analysis from job reqs and targeting stretch assignmentsUpgrading the lexicon: finance, legal, and general management (e.g., Wharton GMP)Turning tough feedback into growth: from geek speak to boardroom dialogueConsulting variety vs. ownership: when to switch for long-term impactThe 100-day plan: assess → plan → act → measure → adjust (with IR first)Stakeholder mapping, team SWOTs, and making strategy stick beyond 90 daysMetrics as a “health language” and why today's CISO must be a radical collaboratorCarl's story shows how intentional trade-offs—education, language, and leadership style—compound into career momentum. His roadmap helps CISOs and aspiring leaders navigate transitions with discipline, communicate across the business, and build resilient teams that lead with clarity.

Distinctive Odours Associated with Yowie EncountersRotting Flesh or RoadkillThe most commonly reported smell linked to Yowie sightings is that of rotting flesh or roadkill—a foul, overpowering odour that can induce nausea or even vomiting.Rotting GarbageThe second most frequently described scent is that of rotting garbage. This odour is often considered to fall under the same category as rotting flesh, given their similar characteristics.Sulphur and Electrical SmellsA third reported odour includes a mix of sulphur, Bakelite, and burnt wiring.It is important to note that not all Yowie encounters involve these smells. Odour, Dread, and Aggressive ExperiencesThe presence of a pungent odour, combined with feelings of being watched and a nameless dread, is frequently associated with encounters that are perceived as aggressive. Such experiences are highlighted in reports from witnesses.The Pilliga: A Notorious Stretch of RoadThe lonely road between Coonabarabran and Narrabri, known as the Pilliga, has a reputation for strange occurrences. Truck drivers often refuse to stop there at night—even when faced with a flat tire. For decades, local service stations have displayed photographs of track damage attributed to unknown creatures.Nearby, Hickeys Falls offers a tranquil waterfall and swimming hole where drivers may pause for rest. Mysterious Road IncidentsWitnesses have reported incidents at Hickeys Falls where vehicles were run off the road by an unknown entity darting in front of them. This is not the first account of Yowies displaying such behavior; some witnesses believe these incidents are intentional, reflecting the creatures' heightened awareness of approaching cars on quiet rural roads.The phrase “Never stop in the Pilliga at night” is widely recognized and echoed among motorists and truck drivers.Encounters of Strength and ImpactThe experience described at Hickeys Falls mirrors the author's own encounter at Wee Jasper in May 2025—an impressive demonstration of strength by a creature more powerful than any human.The raw power of a Yowie is remarkable, and for those who experience it firsthand, the event often proves life changing.For more comprehensive information, reports and history of the Yowie, visit our Website at www.yowiehunters.comSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/yowiehunters-witness-reports.

In this episode of Generation AI, hosts Ardis Kadiu and JC Bonilla examine the widely misinterpreted MIT report claiming "95% of GenAI pilots fail," exploring why this headline misses the real story. While individual employees are finding significant value with AI tools (90% use personal AI regularly), organizations struggle to capture this value at the enterprise level—not because the technology doesn't work, but due to change management, leadership alignment, and implementation challenges. Through Element451's own QBR automation struggles, the hosts illustrate how the gap between impressive demos and measurable business impact stems from organizational readiness, not technological limitations. They discuss why vendor solutions succeed at twice the rate of internal builds (67% vs 33%), introduce Forward Deployed Engineers as the bridge between technology and business context, and explain why back office automation delivers higher ROI than marketing despite budget allocation. This conversation provides practical guidance for higher education leaders on moving from shadow AI productivity gains to true enterprise transformation, emphasizing that the challenge isn't whether AI works—it's how organizations need to evolve to capture its value.AI Deployment Reality Check: The 95% Failure Rate (00:01:35)MIT report reveals 95% of GenAI pilots fail to deliver P&L impactOnly 5% achieve rapid revenue growthDiscussion of how this mirrors Element451's internal experiencesThe difference between pilots, POCs, and actual productsThe Shadow AI Phenomenon (00:02:43)90% of employees using personal AI tools vs enterprise subscriptionsBottom-up adoption through consumer tools like ChatGPTWhy organizations can't measure or control individual productivity gainsThe challenge of enterprise AI adoption vs consumer AIBuilding vs Buying: The Success Rate Gap (00:03:34)Internal build success rate: 33%Vendor purchase success rate: 67%Why vertical solutions outperform generic toolsThe importance of domain expertise in AI deploymentElement's QBR Case Study: When AI Projects Struggle (00:14:18)Quarterly Business Review automation challengesThe gap between data analytics and expert interpretationWhy AI needs embedded best practices and rubricsThe difference between finding patterns and implementing expertiseMarketing vs Back Office: Where Real ROI Lives (00:24:10)Over 50% of AI budgets go to sales and marketingWhy back office automation delivers higher returnsThe binary nature of workflow automation successExamples: fraud detection, application review, transcript analysisThe Forward Deployed Engineer Model (00:35:56)Origin from Palantir's government contractsHow OpenAI uses FDEs for enterprise clientsThe hybrid role: technical expertise + business understandingWhy traditional consultants can't fill this gapThe Unicorn Problem: Finding AI Operations Specialists (00:41:24)Scarcity of people who understand both workflows and AI technologyWhy agencies need to evolve their business modelsThe opportunity for innovative consultanciesElement's challenge in scaling deployment expertiseKey Recommendations for Institution Leaders (00:45:18)Move from bottom-up to top-down AI strategyProperly resource AI initiatives (not just IT side projects)Buy rather than build for 2x success rateLook for vertical solutions with deep domain knowledgeInclude internal champions in deployment projectsFinal Thoughts: Moving Beyond Productivity to Transformation (00:49:31)The shift from individual productivity to enterprise ROIWhy POC success doesn't equal business impactThe importance of AI workflow coverageAccepting that most organizations aren't behind—everyone is struggling - - - -Connect With Our Co-Hosts:Ardis Kadiuhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/ardis/https://twitter.com/ardisDr. JC Bonillahttps://www.linkedin.com/in/jcbonilla/https://twitter.com/jbonillxAbout The Enrollify Podcast Network:Generation AI is a part of the Enrollify Podcast Network.

Is Access to Private Investments About to Change Forever? A new bill, the Equal Opportunity for All Investors Act of 2025, is making waves in Congress. Its promise? To open the doors of private investments, such as real estate, private equity, and venture capital, to a broader range of Americans by eliminating traditional accreditation standards. But does equal access truly mean equal risk? In this episode, Jeannette Friedrich breaks down what this bill really means for everyday investors, the potential benefits, and the serious risks that are not being discussed enough. Key Takeaways: What the Equal Opportunity for All Investors Act proposesUnderstand how the bill aims to replace income and net worth requirements with a knowledge-based test to expand access to private investments. Three reasons why this bill is being celebratedFrom democratising access to higher-yield investments, encouraging portfolio diversification beyond stocks, to fostering financial education. Why “equal access” might not mean equal impactThe financial risks for a high-net-worth investor are not the same as for a first-time or lower-net-worth investor. Jeannette explains the nuances. The rise of bad actors and fraud risksMore retail participation may attract scammers and opportunists. Learn why investor caution and due diligence will become even more critical. False sense of equality: The overlooked flaw in the billJeannette shares why both new and existing accredited investors should be held to the same financial literacy standards and why the bill currently misses this point. A call for broader regulatory scrutinyWhy regulation should not stop at LPs (passive investors) but should also address standards for General Partners (GPs) to ensure industry-wide investor protection.

Jeff Klein started his hospitality career in 1993 as a bellman at The Franklin Hotel, where he learned the ropes of running a hotel in various operational roles. His first hotel project was the successful repositioning of a midtown office building into The City Club hotel. After The City Club, Jeff raised capital to acquire the dilapidated Argyle Hotel on Sunset Boulevard, and repositioned it to The Sunset Tower Hotel, an iconic LA destination.  The Tower Bar at that hotel was his first restaurant, and remains an elegant destination for celebrities, Hollywood elite, and cultural tastemakers. In 2013, Jeff acquired the San Vicente Inn, which was a run-down seedy motel in the heart of West Hollywood, and transformed it into the San Vicente Bungalows, an exclusive private members club known for attracting high profile industry executives. Most recently, due to the demand for the privacy and discretion that the club distinctly offers, Jeff has expanded San Vicente Bungalows to Santa Monica on Ocean Boulevard and at the Jane Hotel in New York's West Village. Jeff is one of the rare hospitality entrepreneurs that has an intuitive understanding of how to buy good real estate and how to curate a timeless experience that fosters longevity and loyalty. In this interview, Jeff shares the stories behind the deals that made his career, and the valuable lessons learned along the way. Thank you Peoplevine for making this podcast possible.
