Hold The Line | Influencing in Exile | Jacob Whipple
Today's guest is someone whose presence ripples far beyond the traditional walls of medicine.Nurse Penny Smith, also known to millions online as @hospicenursepenny, is a nationally certified hospice and palliative care nurse, a social media educator, and the author of the powerful new book, Influencing Death: Reframing Dying for Better Living.With over 20 years of intimate experience at the bedside of the dying, and more than two million followers drawn to her dark humor, dance, and deeply human wisdom, Penny is helping us reclaim something we have collectively pushed away: our relationship with death.In a world obsessed with youth and longevity, her message is a radical invitation to soften our fear, to educate ourselves, and to begin to see death not as the opposite of life, but as its mirror.This conversation is especially meaningful to me. Earlier this year, I lost my father. And while I live immersed in the health and wellness world, and explore every corner of longevity and life extension, I know that none of it is complete without the courage to look at our own endings.Penny and I speak about what a “good death” means, how to support our loved ones and ourselves through the mystery of dying, and what she has witnessed that suggests there is more beyond the veil.If you have ever whispered the question what happens when we die, or if you simply want to live more fully, this episode is for you.Episode Highlights:00:00 – Introduction to Nurse Penny Smith, her background in hospice care, and her new book Influencing Death: Reframing Dying for Better Living02:00 – Why our culture avoids talking about death, and how medical advancements have contributed to this denial04:30 – How Penny opens up conversations about death with patients and their families06:00 – The value of grief counseling and how hospice services support loved ones for up to a year after death09:00 – Penny's journey through addiction and incarceration, and how it shaped her capacity to care without judgment12:15 – Supporting “difficult” patients and families by recognizing their humanity without needing to fix or judge them15:00 – Penny's unexpected rise on social media and the impact of her dark humor and dance videos16:45 – Deathbed visions, Penny's personal experiences with her father's passing, and what changed her perspective on the afterlife22:00 – Swedish death cleaning, writing your own obituary, and planning your memorial on your terms26:15 – On recording conversations and preserving memories as acts of legacy28:00 – Concerns around AI-generated avatars of deceased loved ones and the ethics of consent32:15 – Penny's strong support for medically assisted death and patient autonomy34:30 – Ketamine therapy for end-of-life anxiety and grief, and Penny's hope for more tools like nitrous oxide in hospice settings37:30 – What death has taught Penny about how to live more fully40:00 – How to choose a hospice provider, what questions to ask, and why nonprofit Medicare-certified agencies may offer better care44:15 – The most important thing Penny wants families to know: talk openly about death with your loved ones before it's too lateResources mentioned:Nurse Penny's Website – https://www.hospicenursepenny.comInfluencing Death: Reframing Dying for Better Living (Book) – https://www.hospicenursepenny.com/bookMedicare Hospice Comparison Tool (Care Compare) – https://www.medicare.gov/care-compareNurse Penny on YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/@HospiceNursePennyNurse Penny on TikTok – https://www.tiktok.com/@hospicenursepennyNurse Penny on Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/hospicenursepennyNurse Penny on Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/HospiceNursePenny

The global energy transition was already facing headwinds even as trade tensions and geopolitical uncertainty escalated. Supply chain disruptions, elevated interest rates, and persistent inflation have created additional hurdles for renewable projects. But could rising resource nationalism paradoxically accelerate the transition by spurring countries to prioritize domestic renewable energy development? In this episode, host Eklavya Gupte and Commodity Insights journalist James Burgess explore this complex dynamic with two guests who offer different perspectives. Dan Klein, head of future energy pathways at Commodity Insights, explains how nations are recalibrating their energy strategies to balance security concerns with decarbonization goals in an increasingly volatile geopolitical environment. Ben Hoff, Societe Generale's global head of commodity research, argues that the momentum behind the energy transition is unstoppable, and that protectionist measures could nurture domestic renewables sectors despite short-term disruptions. Energy Evolution has merged with Platts Future Energy, and episodes are now regularly published on Tuesdays.

What if the thing holding you back from influencing others for Jesus…isn't your ability—but the voice you've been listening to? The false gospel of fear silences your voice, shrinks your calling, and keeps you from living as the salt and light Jesus calls you to be. It's a counterfeit message—fed by so many other false gospels like performance, perfectionism, shame, and self-reliance—that twists the freedom of Christ into fear-based striving. In week 2 of our Influencer series, Pastor Michele speaks on the power of Gospel-rooted influence and the freedom found in listening to the voice of Christ.

Understanding how power works might be the most underrated UX skill. Thomas Wilson shares ways to navigate power, bridge generational gaps, and influence decisions, even when you don't have direct control.Why do some designers influence major decisions while others get ignored? The answer might come down to how well you understand power.You can't influence what you don't understand. In this conversation, I sit down with Thomas Wilson to discuss the invisible structures that shape what gets built, who gets heard, and why some designers consistently seem to gain traction, even without a fancy title.We unpack what it means to navigate power inside organizations, how to build trust with people who don't think like you, and what “pushing back” looks like when done with empathy and strategy. Thomas also challenges the notion that power is something to be avoided or rejected. Instead, he frames it as a neutral force—one you can learn to work with instead of around.If you've ever felt stuck, sidelined, or frustrated by decisions that don't make sense, this episode will help you rethink how you operate—and show you that power, used well, can actually be a designer's ally.Topics:• 03:51 Understanding Power Dynamics in Organizations• 05:44 Types of Power in Business• 08:22 Strategies for Leveraging Power• 19:39 Tools for Influencing and Negotiation• 28:12 Power Mapping and Stakeholder Management• 36:47 Influence and Interest Matrix• 37:43 Generational Dynamics in the Workplace• 38:57 Diversity of Thought and Communication Styles• 41:34 Building Relationships and Trust• 43:41 Handling Workplace Conflicts• 48:48 Resources for Understanding PowerHelpful Links:• Connect with Thomas on LinkedIn—Thanks for listening!

In this thought-provoking episode of My Simplified Life, Michelle Glogovac and co-host Stephanie Hockersmith (aka Pie Lady Books) dive deep into the world of book influencing, shining a light on what integrity and authenticity really mean in today's crowded literary landscape. From spotting trustworthy book influencers to discussing the true impact of genuine engagement, Michelle and Steph unpack how staying authentic can shape careers—and conversations—around books. They explore why quality engagement trumps follower count, how transparent reading habits build community trust, and why emerging voices in the book world shouldn't underestimate the power of staying true to themselves. Whether you're a reader, author, or aspiring book influencer, this episode is a must-listen for anyone passionate about preserving the soul of storytelling and championing diverse, authentic literary voices. What We're Talking About Trust is built through genuine engagement with book influencers. Integrity is essential for lasting influence in the literary world. Books have the power to change perspectives and foster empathy. Authenticity in recommendations is crucial for building trust. Emerging voices in the book community should stay true to themselves. Quality of engagement matters more than quantity in influencing. Reading can provide insights into diverse experiences and cultures. Influencers should be transparent about their reading habits. The literary world is competitive, but authenticity can set you apart. Every voice in the book community matters, regardless of their following.

Welcome to another explosive episode of On The Mark with Anita Marks—your inside look at the ongoing Diddy trial. This week, we break down bombshell testimony in Sean “Diddy” Combs' federal trial, with special guest Gregory Yankow, former FBI supervisory special agent. With insider knowledge on racketeering and criminal investigations, Yankow dives deep into the high-stakes case surrounding the hip-hop mogul. The prosecution is building a powerful RICO (Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act) case against Diddy, and this week's revelations from Witness Jane might just tip the scale.For the past 25 days, the world has watched as shocking details of Diddy's alleged criminal enterprise come to light. From accusations of sexual trafficking, coercion, and forced labor to shocking claims of bribery and arson, Witness Jane's testimony has rocked the trial. Jane, who was allegedly coerced into a “love contract” involving forced sex, drugs, and intimidation, revealed a dark side of Diddy's empire. The $10,000-a-month condo for Jane, the international drug run, and the threats of violence raise serious concerns about the music mogul's role in orchestrating criminal activities. Greg Yankow analyzes how the prosecution has tied these horrific actions to racketeering charges and whether they have enough evidence to convict Diddy.In addition to the explosive testimony, the episode explores other key aspects of the trial. Is Diddy's attempt to influence jurors a sign of desperation? Could co-conspirator Christina Krom's eventual testimony deal a fatal blow to the defense? We also discuss the ramifications of Diddy rejecting multiple plea deals, despite having the financial resources and celebrity status to settle. Is his decision to go to trial a sign of confidence, or is he simply playing a dangerous game?As the trial intensifies, the stakes have never been higher for Diddy. With potential charges of racketeering, human trafficking, sex crimes, and witness tampering, Diddy's future in the entertainment industry hangs in the balance. Stay tuned for the latest analysis and updates from this high-profile case. This isn't just about celebrity scandal—this is about whether justice will be served. #DiddyTrial #SeanCombs #RICOCharges #DiddyNews #CelebrityTrial #FBIInvestigation #SexTrafficking #onthemarkpodcastTimestamps: 00:00 – Welcome to Episode 8: 25 Days into the Diddy Trial 00:42 – Why Witness “Jane” Could Be the Prosecution's Trump Card 03:26 – Introducing Gregory Yankow, Former FBI Special Agent 06:13 – How the FBI Agent Became Friends with Nevin Shapiro 09:44 – Who's Winning Right Now: Prosecution or Defense? 11:06 – What Makes Jane's Testimony So Legally Damaging? 14:11 – Breaking Down the Full Scope of RICO Charges Against Diddy 15:06 – Jane's $10,000/Month Condo and “Love Contract” Revealed 16:48 – Drug Trafficking Details: Ecstasy, Hotel Nights, and Control 22:22 – Is Diddy's Wealth Changing How the Feds Approach This Case? 26:17 – Christina Krom: Diddy's Alleged Co-Conspirator? 30:56 – Judge Threatens to Remove Diddy for Influencing the Jury 31:25 – Why Did Diddy Reject Two Plea Deals? 33:24 – Juror #6 Controversy – Trouble for the Prosecution? 37:07 – Diddy's God Complex vs. Federal Power 38:04 – The Bizarre Michael Jordan–Kobe–Shaq Roleplay Story 39:47 – Final Thoughts and What's Next in the TrialFollow the Hosts on Instagram: Anita Marks: https://www.instagram.com/anita_marks Nevin Shapiro: https://www.instagram.com/nevinshapiroProducer: Michael Lazo: https://www.instagram.com/digilazo

This week, McKay talks about aspects of the culture effect, including creating culture, maintaining it, and how to rescue it. He opens up with a story detailing Tonga's devastating volcanic eruption and how the Tongan culture, which values respect and open-mindedness, helped the people weather the storm. McKay notes that, when teams or families have a strong culture, they will thrive and prosper, but, on the other hand, when culture is weak, it can destroy your team and everything you're working for. McKay also emphasizes that, as leaders, we have the opportunity to influence and shape the culture that drives us, and goes on to share that, to do so, we must learn to value feedback. So, make sure that you are slow to speak and quick to listen when it comes to creating a culture and values. Likewise, an influential leader will lead by example, sharing and modeling the values by which they hope their team will abide. McKay draws this episode to a close with one final piece of advice: be careful who you let join your team. All it takes is one person to totally alter your culture, so protect it and you will protect your team as well.The Finer Details of This Episode:Tonga's devastating volcanic eruption The fall of IBM Defining culture Influencing culture The importance of feedback Sharing and modeling values Why mid level managers create cultureQuotes:"Tongans look out for each other and respect others. Many Tongans may avoid outward signs of wealth or affection. They dress in modest ways, and they're highly receptive to other people's opinion and behavior.”“Culture can guide a team, lead a company to thrive and prosper, or culture can, like toxic ash, choke a team and cause companies to fail, or fall.”“Most leaders don't understand culture and they don't know how to diagnose or influence it.”“Culture can help teams be more agile, loyal and effective… Culture can also be a significant liability when it's misaligned with your strategy or values. And it doesn't matter how dysfunctional your culture may be on your team today, you can improve it with a plan and intentional effort.”“So, like the researchers in Roseto, you may have to set up camp for a while on your team, maybe even in your family - watch, listen, and observe. See if you can uncover some of the cultural behaviors and assumptions that your team members have.”“You see, some leaders stopped showing up for the small things. And the result? Their people do the same. What you do duplicates, so if you want to change the culture on your team, model the behavior.”“Hire and recruit people who exemplify what culture you're trying to create. And over time, these managers will influence your entire team. So be very selective about the people you let influence your team.”“Listen, learn, and determine where your culture is today to define the mission and values that will underpin your future culture.”Links: Open Your Eyes with McKay Christensen

These six tips will help you get there faster.Build credibility with consistent excellenceDeliver exceptional results consistently to establish yourself as reliable and valuable.

Recognize that you have specialized knowledge or frontline insights that leadership lacks. Share these perspectives confidently.Understand your leader's priorities and pressuresTake time to learn what matters most to decision-makers above you - their goals, challenges, and what they're evaluated on. Frame your proposals in terms of these priorities to show alignment with their objectives.Present solutions, not just problemsWhen raising issues, come prepared with thoughtful recommendations and implementation plans. Leaders appreciate team members who think proactively and take initiative rather than simply escalating issues.Communicate strategicallyFrame your ideas in terms of organizational goals and leadership priorities. Tailor your message to your audience's communication style. Some leaders prefer data-driven presentations while others respond to storytelling. Be concise, focus on impact, and anticipate potential questions or concerns.Build genuine relationships before you need themDevelop trust through reliability, thoughtful interactions, and demonstrating value in everyday work. Identify and nurture relationships with influential stakeholders who can champion your ideas. When multiple respected voices support your position, it creates momentum that's difficult for leaders to ignore. Connect with leaders on a personal level while maintaining professionalism. Demonstrate emotional intelligenceRead the organizational climate and timing carefully. Understand when to press forward with an idea and when to temporarily step back. Show empathy for the pressures leaders face while maintaining conviction in your valuable contributions.Some resources for you:Want to see how you score as a confident communicator?
