In this week's episode of the Seven Figure Consultant Podcast, we're doing something a bit different! My guest Sharath Jeevan, Founder of The Generational Success Lab at Oxford's Said Business School, is interviewing me as we approach the one-year anniversary of my book 'Too Much'. If you've ever felt like your ambition was 'too much' for the world around you, or if you left corporate because you needed a bigger playing field to run on, this conversation is for you. Sharath and I explore how I went from a rebellious teenager who wanted to be a rock star to building a seven-figure consulting business that finally gives me the container I need.  We talk about the corporate exit, the early days of celebrating £3,000 months, and what it really takes to build a business around your zone of genius rather than what you think you're 'supposed' to do.  This is a candid conversation about legacy, ambition and what happens when you finally stop trying to fit into someone else's version of success. In This Episode:  [00:01:33] How Jessica's early ambition and 'too much-ness' shaped her path - and why entrepreneurship became the only container that could hold her [00:05:16] The violin, physics homework, and parental expectations: navigating the gap between what your family wanted and who you actually are [00:10:22] The corporate years at Sony and the moment Jessica realized she'd rather be made redundant than stay - and what came next [00:17:50] Building a £3,000/month business from the attic and how Jessica's husband became her biggest supporter [00:22:49] The pivot moment: when Jessica stopped trying to 'follow the business plan' and started listening to what clients actually needed [00:27:14] Getting past comparisonitis and imposter syndrome and why one client sale fixes most business problems [00:29:34] Reflecting on the book 'Too Much', writing as legacy work, and what's next Key Takeaways:  Entrepreneurship was the only container big enough: If you've always felt restless in corporate, it's not because you're broken. You just need a playing field where you can run as fast as you want without hitting a ceiling. The power of low-volume, high-ticket consulting: One client sale can fix most business problems. Five clients can fix almost everything. This is why we build businesses where you're not making 500 sales just to stay afloat. Your ambition isn't the problem. The context is: Jessica spent years being told she was 'too much'. The breakthrough came when she stopped trying to fit into someone else's version of success and built a business aligned with her actual genius. Quotes:  "Entrepreneurship has been the only thing that I found, the only container that can actually hold me, that doesn't make me feel kind of trapped or restricted and gives me a big playing field where I can run as fast as I want." - Jessica Fearnley "I always try and go with the path of least resistance, keeping the bar as low as it can possibly be, because then it's like, I may as well have a go. And you know, more often than not it goes well and it works." - Jessica Fearnley "I'm really passionate about how we can be intentional about our legacy. You've done that very consciously and deliberately, and I'm very passionate about how we can all try and find that whatever way makes sense for us in our lives as well." - Sharath Jeevan Useful Links Sharath Follow Sharath on LinkedIn Sharath's Website: intrinsic-labs.com Episode 112: Encouraging Yourself to Make a Bigger Impact with Sharath Jeevan Jessica: Buy Jessica's book, Too Much, on Amazon Get in touch with Jessica to discuss your consulting business Leave a rating and review for the Seven Figure Consultant Podcast Connect with Jessica on LinkedIn Guest Bio Sharath is focused on helping Leaders across sectors futureproof success and build intentional legacy, with clients ranging from L'Oreal to the Barbican to the NHS.

In today's episode, JB White examines what he describes as a major geopolitical turning point, anchored by Marco Rubio's 2026 Munich Security Conference speech and its implications for President Trump's broader strategy. He revisits the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact to frame today's tensions with Russia, China, and NATO, arguing that current events reflect a deliberate global realignment rather than disorder. JB also touches on technological dominance, Bitcoin market dynamics, public-private power structures, and what he views as the enduring thread of American exceptionalism shaping the next phase of global leadership.

Pascal Wagner interviews Jon Brooks, who breaks down why today's real estate market is sending mixed signals—and why getting that interpretation wrong can have real financial consequences. Jon explains how decades of falling interest rates created a powerful tailwind for real estate that no longer exists, especially in overbuilt Sunbelt markets like Florida. The conversation explores what's actually breaking versus what's simply slowing down, including rising insurance and tax costs, declining affordability, demographic headwinds, and stalled migration. Jon also shares why he sold his entire personal real estate portfolio, pivoted into private lending, and ultimately shifted capital into equities as risk-return dynamics changed. This matters because many investors are still relying on outdated assumptions about appreciation, cash flow, and long-term demand. Understanding how interest rates, demographics, and market psychology intersect helps investors reassess where risk is no longer being adequately compensated—and how to position capital without relying on the market to “save” them.

Hello to you listening in Corning, New York!Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds for Wednesdays on Whidbey and your host, Diane Wyzga.One of the first signs of recognition a new mother looks for in her infant is - a smile. Look! She's smiling at me! Yes! Baby sees you. Baby recognizes you.From earliest days we are cued to the smiles of other human beings. Remember what we missed in the COVID time with masks masking our smiles? Sure, we crinkled our eyes to signal a smile but it wasn't the same as receiving a smile from another human. Sometimes the tone of our voice was a good substitute. The “music of the spoken word” stood in for our smile. We did the best we could with what we had.  Like a smile, the "music of the spoken word" brings written text to life with inflection, pause, tone, emphasis, and  cadence. Reading text alone is quick, cheap, and easy but the human voice lends expression and emotional meaning.I create each 60 Seconds episode with you in mind to offer a measure of hope, delight and imagination, as well as thoughts to ponder, stories to share, a practical tip to lighten and brighten your day. Thank you for taking the time to listen to my podcast episodes. My voice is me smiling at you.  You're always welcome: "Come for the stories - Stay for the magic!" Speaking of magic, I hope you'll subscribe, share a 5-star rating and nice review on your social media or podcast channel of choice, bring your friends and rellies, and join us!

AI isn't just another tech cycle. It's colliding with geopolitics, labor markets, crypto, and creator economies all at once. In this episode of the Block Runner Podcast, we break down why the global landscape is shifting faster than most people realize. From delayed tariffs and geopolitical power struggles, to AI-driven job displacement, no-code engineering, and the rise of vibe coding, this conversation explores what actually matters beneath the noise. We connect the dots between AI infrastructure, resource bottlenecks, robotics, and why this moment feels eerily similar to early crypto. Except this time, execution is possible. We also dig into where crypto still fits, how AI agents interact with crypto rails, and why new business models like creator capital markets are emerging. To close it out, we run a live Doom deathmatch on Track to demonstrate peer-to-peer infrastructure in action, then share updates on NAT, community conviction, and why long-term alignment still wins. If you're trying to understand where AI, crypto, and creators intersect next, this episode is for you.

In this company update, we reconnect with Alistair Waddell, President & CEO of Inflection Resources (CSE:AUCU - OTCQB:AUCUF), to break down the company's latest exploration results from Australia. The discussion centers on a new high-grade gold discovery at the Trangie Project, which is being advanced in partnership with AngloGold Ashanti, along with updates on several 100%-owned exploration targets that are moving toward drill testing. Key topics covered include: New High-Grade Gold Discovery at Trangie - A first-pass drill hole into a blind target intersected nearly 8 g/t gold over 3 meters. Skarn Mineralization & Porphyry Upside - Discussion of the skarn-style gold mineralization and its significance as a potential vector toward larger porphyry systems, which remain the company's primary exploration focus. Large-Scale Air-core Drilling Program - An 83-hole air-core program is starting, acting as a broad geochemical survey to systematically vector toward priority targets across the ~15 km² project area. 100% Owned Projects & Upcoming Drill Plans - Updates on several fully owned copper-gold targets outside the joint venture, offering additional upside through low-cost air core drilling and potential future partnerships. Funding, Budgets & Partner Support - AngloGold Ashanti continues to fully fund exploration at Trangie, while Inflection Resources maintains flexibility to advance its owned assets independently.   If you have any follow up questions for Alistair please email us at Fleck@kereport.com and Shad@kereport.com.    Click here to visit the Inflection Resources website to learn more about the Company - https://inflectionresources.com/   -------------------- For more market commentary & interview summaries, subscribe to our Substacks: The KE Report: https://kereport.substack.com/ Shad's resource market commentary: https://excelsiorprosperity.substack.com/ Investment disclaimer: This content is for informational and educational purposes only and does not constitute investment advice, an offer, or a solicitation to buy or sell any security or investment product.

Erik Wetterling, Founder and Editor of The Hedgeless Horseman website, joins us to review the value proposition that caught his attention in the news from 1 advanced developer expediting the move into production, along with 2 earlier-stage gold and copper exploration companies; both going after drill targets on large potential Tier-1 deposits that would be of interest to senior producers if discoveries are made.    >> The companies we discussed in the interview are:     Montage Gold Corp. (TSX: MAU, OTCQX: MAUTF) – On Jan. 19, 2026, Montage announced that rapid construction progress continues to be made at its Koné project, in Côte d'Ivoire; where the first gold pour through the oxide circuit is now anticipated, ahead of schedule in late Q4-2026.   Inflection Resources Ltd. (CSE: AUCU) (OTCQB: AUCUF) – On January 19, 2026 Inflection provided an update on drilling completed in New South Wales, Australia under the Exploration Agreement with AngloGold Ashanti Australia Ltd. High-grade gold was intersected in a new standalone target area within the Trangie district. Drill hole TRNDH032 returned 3.0 metres grading 7.72 g/t gold from skarn-style alteration. 83 air-core drill holes are planned to commence on the Trangie project in February to follow-up on the recent intercept in hole TRNDH032 and earlier porphyry gold-copper mineralisation intersected in hole TRNDH023; and   K2 Gold Corporation (TSXV: KTO) (OTCQB: KTGDF) – On January 19, 2026) K2 Gold announced its plan to commence drilling at the Company's Si2 Project, located near Tonopah, Nevada, on or about January 21, 2026. The drill program will test a series of high-priority structural and geochemical targets generated through comprehensive geological studies completed in 2025, along with recently acquired geophysical information, including fluid-inclusion analysis, alteration mineralogy, age dating, an integrated structural interpretation, and IP survey. These studies collectively indicate that Si2 represents the upper levels of a large, intact low-sulphidation epithermal system, and the drill program is fully funded and will consist of up to 2000 metres over 4-6 drill holes.     * In full disclosure, some companies mentioned by Erik in this interview, are positions held in his personal portfolio, and also may be site sponsors of The Hedgeless Horseman website at the time of this recording.   Click here to follow Erik's analysis over at The Hedgeless Horseman website   For more market commentary & interview summaries, subscribe to our Substacks:   The KE Report: https://kereport.substack.com/ Shad's resource market commentary: https://excelsiorprosperity.substack.com/     Investment disclaimer: This content is for informational and educational purposes only and does not constitute investment advice, an offer, or a solicitation to buy or sell any security.

We've evolved to like humans.” “You don't build the first Tesla without a steering wheel.” “We're building something that watches assistants work, not to replace them, but to augment them.” “Delegation is a J-curve. It's slower at first, but compounds.” “The cardinal sin of delegation is thinking, ‘It's faster to do it myself.'” “You can think of an assistant as a cognitive prosthesis.” “Belief is the first limiter. Most people don't believe time freedom is possible.” “Ask yourself: If I had a hundred more hours a week, what would I do?” Important Quotes from the podcast on Business and Entrepreneurship   There is no skill called “business.” Avoid business magazines and business classes. - Naval Ravikant   You have to work up to the point where you can own equity in a business. You could own equity as a small shareholder where you bought stock. You could also own it as an owner where you started the company. Ownership is really important.     Everybody who really makes money at some point owns a piece of a product, a business, or some IP. That can be through stock options if you work at a tech company. That's a fine way to start.

Ruslan Belkin (Head of Platform Engineering @ Inflection AI) joins us to deconstruct fundamental shifts in engineering leadership. We explore the future of user interfaces, his “sci-fi” approach to establish & test product vision, & how to leverage “investor decks” for better decision-making and project validation. Ruslan also dives into the complexities of building emotional intelligence into AI systems, cultivating an outcome-oriented engineering culture & avoiding process traps. Plus, we discuss how to keep up with the velocity of change (including when new research necessitates a major pivot), synthetic data & the future of data as a defensibility strategy, & why agent reliability is the massive opportunity ahead. ABOUT RUSLAN BELKINRuslan Belkin joined Inflection after co-founding Jelled.ai—acquired by Inflection in 2024—and previously served as CTO of Nauto. Earlier in his career, Ruslan held senior engineering roles at Twitter, LinkedIn, Netscape, and other pioneering Silicon-Valley companies, bringing more than two decades of experience at the intersection of data platforms and machine learning. SHOW NOTES:How leading engineering teams is evolving: Moving from code as the source of truth to specs/documentation as the source of truth (2:44)Why an eng org's good hygiene / health will create better output (5:12)A framework for product vision: Envisioning the future "viscerally" like a sci-fi novel, stress-testing assumptions, and focusing smart people on the problem (9:04)Hiring in the modern era: Why software engineering is becoming "tooling and data engineering" and the importance of hiring for openness to new research (18:20)Gen Z vs. Millennial engineers: Ruslan's observation that Gen Z is more outcome-oriented and has a lower tolerance for "corporate euphemisms." (22:24)Ruslan's favorite frameworks for effective decision making: Using an "investment deck" to validate projects, avoid disbelief and lack of focus. (25:19)Keeping up with the velocity of change: How to curate research inputs and determine when a new paper (like DeepSeek) requires a strategic pivot. (32:57)The new burden of leadership: Why the velocity of AI requires leaders to be "right more often" and how to use models to increase research rigor. (36:27)The "Data Wall" and Synthetic Data: Why we have hit the wall for text data and how synthetic data generation loops will drive the next wave of defensibility.

In this episode of On the Brink with Andi Simon, I had the pleasure of sitting down with Laurie Hirsch Schultz, a transformational coach, nonprofit leader, and founder of LHS Coaching. Laurie's career journey—from over two decades in corporate marketing at Kraft Foods and Visa to becoming a trusted coach and community leader—offers a powerful reminder that change is not something to resist but to embrace. Laurie brings to her clients a unique blend of corporate savvy, coaching expertise, and a deep passion for helping people find clarity when they reach what she calls inflection points. These are moments when life nudges—or pushes—you to recognize that what once worked no longer does. Whether it's career dissatisfaction, a health scare, a layoff, or simply the realization that you're ready for something new, inflection points are opportunities to redefine what comes next. From Corporate Success to Coaching Purpose Laurie enjoyed a successful career at Kraft Foods and Visa, thriving in marketing and strategy roles. But after more than 20 years, she hit her own inflection point: the work no longer aligned with her values. Rather than pushing through, she took a bold step. She negotiated an exit plan, gave herself what she called a “reboot year,” and invested in coaching and reflection. That pause was pivotal. Laurie discovered that what she loved most wasn't just the marketing itself, but the mentoring, coaching, and team-building along the way. Out of that realization grew her coaching practice, where she now helps others navigate the complexity of transition. The Power of a Personal Compass Laurie's process begins with what she calls a personal compass. This is more than a vision statement—it's a grounding framework built around four key elements: Core Values – The non-negotiables that must guide decisions and actions. Mission – How you want to impact the world and show up in it. Energies – The activities, relationships, and pursuits that light you up. Capabilities – The skills and strengths that differentiate you, not just what you can do, but what you want to do. This compass serves as a touchstone, allowing clients to navigate life and career changes with greater clarity and confidence. It becomes especially powerful during times of uncertainty, when the “shoulds” of culture or family expectations may cloud what truly matters. Experimentation and the Permission to Change Clarity, however, is not enough. Laurie stresses the importance of experimentation—testing possibilities in small, manageable ways. That might mean scheduling coffee conversations with people in new fields, volunteering in a nonprofit role, or taking on stretch projects at work. These experiments open doors to new opportunities and perspectives while reducing the fear of change. And this is where Laurie offers something many of us forget: permission to change. So often, we keep doing what we've always done—even when it makes us unhappy—because it feels safe or because others have boxed us in. Laurie helps clients give themselves the grace and courage to step through new doors, even if what's on the other side looks different than expected. Coaching as a Gift to Yourself Laurie distinguishes coaching from therapy or consulting. Therapy often looks backward; consulting provides external solutions. Coaching, in contrast, is about partnering with clients to ask the right questions, surface insights, and guide them forward. It is future-focused, client-led, and deeply transformative. As Laurie puts it, coaching is a gift—a purposeful pause that helps you reconnect with who you are, gain confidence in your strengths, and create a future aligned with your values. Watch our video podcast on YouTube. Key Takeaways Listen to the inner voice. When something no longer feels right, don't ignore it. Inflection points are signs it's time for change. Define your personal compass. Ground yourself in your values, mission, energy sources, and unique capabilities. Challenge the “shoulds.” Cultural and personal expectations can limit growth; real transformation begins by questioning them. Experiment your way forward. Try new roles, conversations, or volunteer work to clarify what resonates before making big leaps. Give yourself permission. You don't need to stay stuck in a box. Change is not failure—it's an act of self-leadership. Coaching is an investment. Partnering with a coach can help you pause, reflect, and move forward with confidence and clarity. Laurie's story is a reminder that change, while uncomfortable, is often the catalyst for growth and transformation. We may not always know what's on the other side of the door, but with clarity, experimentation, and courage, we can step through and discover new ways of living and working that truly align with who we are.

What if you could know the true age of your brain—and start reversing it today?On this electrifying episode of Thrive LouD with Lou Diamond, recorded live at the Global Passion Project in Southampton, you'll get an insider's look at the breakthrough technologies—and bold thinkers—reshaping our future of health, longevity, and social impact.Lou sits down with a stellar lineup, including Dr. Ramses Alcaide, CEO of Neurable, who unveils how wearable brain-sensing headphones could soon make brain health measurements as common as step counters.

Here's the thing. Most enterprise AI pitches talk about scale and speed. Fewer talk about trust, tone, and culture. In this conversation with Inflection AI's Amit Manjhi and Shruti Prakash, I explore a different path for enterprise AI, one that combines emotional intelligence with analytical horsepower, enabling teams to ask more informed questions of their data and receive answers that are grounded in context. Amit's story sets the pace. He is a three-time founder, a YC alum, and a CS PhD who has solved complex problems across mobile, ad tech, and data. Shruti complements that arc with a product lens shaped by real operational trenches, from clean rooms to grocery retail analytics.  Together, they built BoostKPI during the pandemic, transforming natural language into actionable insights, and then joined Inflection AI to help refocus the company on achieving enterprise outcomes. Their shared north star is simple to say yet tricky to execute. Make data analysis conversational, accurate, and emotionally aware so people actually use it. We unpack Inflection's shift from Pi's consumer roots to privacy-first enterprise tools. That history matters because it gives the team a head start on EQ. When you combine a deep well of human-to-AI conversations with modern LLMs, you get systems that explain, probe, and adapt rather than dump charts and call it a day.  Shruti breaks down what dialogue with data looks like in practice. Think back-and-forth exchanges that move from "what happened" to "why it happened," then on to "where else this pattern appears" and "what to do next," all grounded in an organization's language and values. Amit takes us under the hood on deployment choices and ownership. If a customer wants on-prem or VPC, they get it. If they're going to fine-tune models to their vernacular, they can. The model, the insights, and the guardrails remain in the customer's control. I enjoyed the honesty around adoption. Chasing AGI makes headlines, but it rarely helps a merchandising manager spot an early drop in lifetime value or a CX lead understand churn risk before quarter end. The duo keeps the conversation grounded in everyday questions that drive numbers and reduce meetings. They describe a path where EQ and IQ come together to form what Shruti calls contextual intelligence, and where brands can trust AI agents to assist without losing ownership or voice. If you care about making data useful to more people, and you want AI that sounds like your company rather than a generic assistant, this one is for you. We cover startup lessons, the reality of cofounding as a couple during lockdowns, and how Inflection is working with large enterprises to bring conversational analysis to real workloads. It is a grounded look at where enterprise AI is heading, and a timely reminder that technology should elevate humans, not replace them. ********* Visit the Sponsor of Tech Talks Network: Land your first job  in tech in 6 months as a Software QA Engineering Bootcamp with Careerist https://crst.co/OGCLA

Mike Maples Jr., the legendary co-founder of Floodgate and early backer of Twitter, Lyft, and Twitch, joined EUVC to deliver a masterclass in contrarian venture investing. His message to European GPs and LPs was clear: the biggest winners don't follow the rules — they break them.He not only challenged European venture capitalists to rethink their playbooks but also distilled years of hard-won wisdom into a framework he calls Inflection Theory, urging GPs and LPs alike to focus on pattern breakers instead of pattern matching.In typical fashion, Mike was sharp, candid, and even a bit irreverent, dropping truth bombs about everything from what makes a founder truly breakout to why fund size is a VC's destiny. This essay captures those key insights and explores what they mean for European investors who aspire to back the future's biggest winners.Mike Maples Jr. has never been one for incremental change. As our conversation revealed, he believes venture success comes from “changing the subject” entirely – defying conventional wisdom and waging “asymmetric warfare on the present”. European GPs and LPs tuning in were treated to a masterclass on identifying unreasonable founders who don't fit the mold, and why the usual check-the-box approach to startups misses the mark. From Inflection Theory and the anatomy of breakout founders to the transatlantic culture clash in tech, let's dive into Maples' playbook – and see how it challenges us all to up our game.

Join hosts Matt, Gregg, Ashley, and Charles for Episode #133 of "The Lumber Word" Podcast, your weekly deep dive into the wild world of lumber markets. This episode unpacks the latest cash and futures trends, explores key inflection points amid truckers scrambling for orders, and mills in Canada and the US starting to look for real orders. We debate why raising prices doesn't always mean buyers bite, how CVD/AD duties are baked into costs, and the curious pull-up of species prices in a vacuum. Plus, insights on SYP's potential sell-off, Canadian production costs hitting $700 US in Chicago, CME basis adjustments, and testing channel bottoms. Is Hem-Fir the new CME basis that traders will look at since it can be delivered? We discuss potential curtailment announcement risks, deep discounts on truck orders from the secondary market, fading demand despite rate drop discussion, undervalued gems like 2x12 coastal and Green DF items, big boxes shifting to SYP premiums, seasonal weakness ahead, buyer/seller strategies, and finally selling those FJs at a premium. Whether you're buying, selling, or just timber-curious, this episode delivers the unvarnished truth on lumber's twists and turns!

It's frustrating to pour time and money into marketing that goes nowhere. You see others gaining traction, getting attention, and pulling ahead, while your efforts seem to fall flat. Often, it's not about working harder—it's about missing the mark on who you're actually speaking to and what they care about. Without that clarity, even the flashiest campaigns won't land. When the message finally hits the right people in the right way, everything changes. Jake Levin is a startup marketing strategist and the CEO and founder of Inflection Growth, a consultancy that helps companies break through growth ceilings. With experience from brands like gopuff, he focuses on scaling businesses by aligning data-driven strategy with brand clarity. Today, Jake shares why many companies stall—misreading their audience or chasing the wrong metrics. He emphasizes using real customer data to refine messaging, target smarter, and unlock revenue. His approach is direct: know your audience or get left behind. Stay tuned! Resources: Your Marketing Dream Team Awaits | Inflection Growth Connect with Jacob Levin on LinkedIn

3Z Brands CEO John Merwin returns to The FAM Podcast to talk about the future of mattress retail.

What happens when we take numbers seriously—not just at face value, but in terms of their actual impact on our lives? This week, Reid and Aria are joined by UK-based mathematician and media personality Hannah Fry to explore this deceptively simple question. From cancer diagnoses to dating apps, Hannah makes the case that understanding the math behind our decisions—and the "game" we're really playing—is essential to building a better future.  They discuss why regret minimization is often a better guide than raw percentages in assessing risks; Hannah's advice on finding love in a sea of swipe-rights; and how a well-framed question can be more powerful than the right answer. Plus, Inflection's Pi chimes in with a few Jane-Austen-themed math jokes.

Ted shares how their team pivoted from consumers to enterprise after their Microsoft deal, why seamless infrastructure is key, and what it takes to build AI models that run on NVIDIA, AMD, and Intel.Learn why “getting to the no” is the smartest move for founders, how enterprises can embrace sovereign AI, and how Inflection's approach to model customization unlocks massive business value.

Aparna Chennapragada is the chief product officer of experiences and devices at Microsoft, where she oversees AI product strategy for their productivity tools and work on agents. Previously, she was the CPO at Robinhood, spent 12 years at Google, and is also on the board of eBay and Capital One.What you'll learn:1. How “prompt sets are the new PRDs” and why prototyping with AI is now essential for effective product development2. The three key characteristics of AI agents: autonomy (delegation of tasks), complexity (handling multi-step challenges), and natural interaction (conversing beyond simple chat)3. Why NLX (natural language experience) is the new UX, requiring deliberate design principles for conversational interfaces4. Why the PM role isn't dying in the AI era—it's evolving to emphasize tastemaking and editing5. How living “one year in the future” can be operationalized with programs like Microsoft's Frontier6. How even traditional enterprises can balance cutting-edge AI adoption with appropriate governance through dual-track approaches7. Insights on leadership differences between Microsoft's Satya Nadella (known for multi-level thinking and early trendspotting) and Google's Sundar Pichai (mastery of complex ecosystems)8. The vision for human and AI collaboration in the workplace, where people and agents achieve outcomes greater than either could alone9.

Kathryn and Coach Julie teach you how to make positive change in pivotal moments or “inflection points” in recovery. You'll learn that you don't have to fix every part of your life or every part of your eating. Instead, you can zero in on the times when you are tipping into the problematic behaviors, make some adjustments, and harness your own power of choice. When you recognize and work on your own inflection points, you can avoid going down those familiar but harmful pathways and build new habits.
