Podcasts about Johansen

There was a time when Gabe Johansen's life revolved around partying, late nights, and a lack of direction - a path that was quickly heading somewhere dangerous. Today, based out of Salem, he controls over $200 million in real estate assets. In this episode, we sit down with Gabe to unpack the full transformation: the turning point that forced him to reevaluate everything, how he rebuilt his identity from the ground up, and the first deals that set him on a completely different trajectory.    We break down how he scaled from smaller investments to institutional-level assets, the partnerships and systems required to operate at that level, and the mindset shift that separates people who dabble in real estate from those who build real wealth. This episode is about transformation — about choosing to create a new version of yourself when it matters most. And throughout the conversation, Gabe shares tactful, real-world insight into how he strategically scaled his multifamily portfolio to over $200M.

In this episode of Partnering Leadership, futurists Bob Johansen and Jamais Cascio join the conversation to explore the ideas behind their new book, The Age of Chaos: A Sense-Making Guide to a BANI World That Doesn't Make Sense. Both guests bring decades of deep foresight work, scenario planning, and leadership insight—Bob through more than 50 years with the Institute for the Future, and Jamais as the originator of the BANI framework (“brittle, anxious, nonlinear, incomprehensible”). Their combined perspectives create a powerful lens for leaders facing a world where old assumptions and linear playbooks no longer hold.Across the discussion, they argue that today's disruptions are not isolated shocks. They are interconnected, compounding forces that make the environment fundamentally different from the “VUCA world” many leaders were trained for. Johansen and Cascio unpack how brittleness shows up in organizations disguised as efficiency, why anxiety has become a rational and necessary signal, and how nonlinearity rewrites traditional cause-and-effect expectations. They challenge leaders to rethink certainty, decision-making, and the stories they tell inside their organizations.At the heart of the conversation is a clear message: leading in a BANI world requires a shift in mindset. The best leaders will cultivate clarity instead of certainty, ask better questions instead of providing fast answers, and build organizations that bend rather than break under pressure. Cascio highlights how empathy, diverse perspectives, and even “useful wrongness” serve as strategic advantages. Johansen pushes leaders to think farther into the future than they are comfortable with—then work backwards to create resilient clarity in the present.The episode does not offer easy fixes. Instead, it gives listeners a framework for making sense of complexity, a set of practices to strengthen foresight, and a renewed understanding of the human side of leadership in chaotic times. For CEOs, board members, and senior executives navigating relentless uncertainty, this conversation provides both grounding and a challenge: to lead with more humility, more imagination, and more future-back discipline.Actionable TakeawaysYou'll learn why “clarity beats certainty” and how leaders who project confidence without openness can miss critical signals in chaotic environments.Hear how to spot brittleness in your systems—and why high efficiency often hides vulnerabilities that collapse under stress.You'll learn why a healthy level of anxiety is necessary and how leaders can use it to sharpen attention without slipping into dysfunction.Hear how to apply foresight as a leadership practice, using scenarios not to predict the future but to “vaccinate” your organization against emerging risks.You'll learn why nonlinear environments break traditional planning, and how to cultivate neuro-flexibility and improvisational leadership.Hear how storytelling becomes a strategic tool, helping leaders create meaning, focus attention, and align teams in moments of uncertainty.You'll learn why cross-generational leadership is becoming a competitive advantage, especially as digital natives bring new skills to nonlinear problem-solving.Connect with Bob Johansen and Jamais CascioBook Website Institute for the FutureJamais Cascio LinkedInConnect with Mahan Tavakoli: Mahan Tavakoli Website Mahan Tavakoli on LinkedIn Partnering Leadership Website

Mange drømmer om teltturer med ski og pulk i vinterfjellet. Are Johansen har jobbet som guide på Grønland, i Antarktis og i norske fjell og tatt med mange personer på deres første langturer i vinterlandskapet.I en miniserie på to episoder har jeg forsøkt å hente ut så mye som mulig av Ares kunnskaper om dette emnet. I første del pratet vi om utstyret. Denne gangen ser vi nærmere å rutiner og teknikk. Vi starter i det Are våkner i teltet om morgenen og prater oss gjennom en dag på tur. Da må vi gjennom hvilke rutiner har om morgenen, under bryting av leir, gjennom dagens marsj, ved etablering av leir og videre utover kvelden.Her er det nok mye å plukke opp for de fleste. Men skal vi forsøke å oppsummere, så er Are opptatt av at folk skal trives og ha det bra på tur – selv om turen er lang. Det tror jeg også er et godt utgangspunkt for en fin langtur.Dette er en Patreon-episode, så du må være med i det digitale turlaget på Patreon for å høre hele stasen.

Welcome back to Forcepoint's "To the Point Cybersecurity Podcast"! In this episode, Rachael Lyon and Jonathan Knepper kick off the new year by diving into a fresh and fascinating topic for the show: cybersecurity within the hospitality industry. Joining them are Jasson Casey, CEO and founder of Beyond Identity, and Josh Johansen, Director of IT for Brent Hospitality Group. The conversation unfolds like a real-world thriller, as Josh Johansen recounts a recent cyberattack targeting his organization—a phishing attempt that nearly fooled hotel staff with convincing fake invoices. The discussion expands into how passwordless technology stopped the attack, the ever-evolving world of AI-driven threats like voice cloning and document forgery, and how companies can keep up with sophisticated adversaries who increasingly use AI. Jasson Casey offers expert insight into the rapid advancements in impersonation techniques, sharing eye-opening examples from his own experimentation with voice cloning and underlining the need for robust attestation methods. Together, the group weighs in on privacy implications, the societal shifts brought by social media, and practical strategies for managing security in a complex hospitality ecosystem. If you're interested in the intersection of hospitality, AI, and cybersecurity—and what brands and individuals can do to protect themselves—this episode is one you can't miss.

Pater Noster Lighthouse Pater Noster is a small archipelago off the west coast of Sweden. The island group's name, which means “The Lord's Prayer,” is said to come from the tradition that mariners would recite the Lord's Prayer as they negotiated their way around the dangerous reefs in the vicinity. The 105-foot-tall, red, cast-iron lighthouse was constructed in 1868. Erik Nissen Johansen A complete restoration of the lighthouse began in 2002. Since 2020, the location has been operated as a small hotel. The facilities include rooms with a sea view, a restaurant, and three boathouses for dinner and conferences. Our guest, Erik Nissen Johansen is the founder and creative director of Stylt Trampoli, a multi-award winning hospitality design company. He is now a partner in the Pater Noster hotel. This is an edited version of a conversation first heard in episode 115 in April 2021.

In this thought-provoking episode,Lorenzo Lebrija talks with futurist Bob Johansen to delve into the concept of a "BANI world"—characterized by being brittle, anxious, nonlinear, and incomprehensible. Their discussion challenges listeners to rethink the language we use to describe our current reality and the implications it has for leadership and community.Bob shares insights from his extensive experience at the Institute for the Future and emphasizes the need for leaders to cultivate adaptability and clarity in an era where traditional frameworks like VUCA (Volatile, Uncertain, Complex, Ambiguous) no longer suffice. The conversation explores how faith can be a powerful asset in navigating uncertainty and how leaders who learn quickly will thrive in these chaotic times.Listeners will gain valuable perspectives on how to frame the future positively, embracing bendability in the face of brittleness, attentiveness amidst anxiety, and interconnectedness in an incomprehensible world. This episode is essential for anyone seeking to understand the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead for faith communities and beyond.KeywordsBANI world, leadership, adaptability, faith, community, uncertainty, futures thinkingTakeawaysThe BANI framework offers a new lens to understand the complexities of modern life.Leaders must be adaptable and willing to embrace uncertainty rather than seek rigid certainties.Faith can provide a foundation for resilience in unpredictable times.Building relationships and community is essential for navigating anxiety and fostering hope.Interconnectedness and diverse perspectives are crucial in addressing the challenges of a BANI world.

Hvor meget magt har vi egentlig? Vi tror måske, vi har styr på livet – men med ét kan alt rystes. Kriser, sygdom, uforudsigelige begivenheder minder os om, hvor lidt vi egentlig kontrollere af verdens begivenheder og vores eget liv. Så hvem rækker vi ud efter, når illusionen brister? Hvem kan bære os? Kan vi selv? Andre mennesker? Eller hvem har magten til at bære vores liv? Prædiken d. 11. Januar 2026 ved David Søholm Johansen

Mange er nysgjerrige på vinterfriluftsliv i telt og noen har også en drøm om en virkelig lang skitur over hvite vidder. For Are Johansen startet interessen for vinterfriluftslivet i forsvaret. Men kanskje kunne det stoppet der, om han ikke hadde snublet innom en enkel nettside en gang i internetts barndom og oppdaget en trønder som søkte turfølge til en lang skitur i Alaska? Etter dette har han satt kilometervis med skispor på Grønland og i Antarktis, og gjennom jobben som guide har han tatt med mange begynnere på sine første vinterteltturer.Gjennom to episoder snakker vi oss gjennom utstyr og teknikk for en mest mulig trygg og behagelig opplevelse i kalde omgivelser.

This weekly show is now part of the "Happy Hour with John Gaskins" daily podcast, which you can find at SiouxFallsLive.com, MidwestSportsPlus.com, and most podcast platforms like the one you find here! So, if you enjoy the topics Matt & John cover, you'll get those topics, plus relevant local guests, every Monday through Thursday on Happy Hour... so we highly recommend you check that out!What is the silver bullet?This is a question outside observers may ask when teams like the Jackrabbits and the Coyotes produce a late-season turnaround. Both have gone from funks — the Jacks' four-game slide after a 7-0 start and more the Yotes' haven't-figured-it-out-yet malaise at 5-4 — to heaters that make them look like dangerous playoff teams. In South Dakota State's case, the return of quarterback Chase Mason is an easy answer, given how flawless, electric, and inspired the Jacks looked in their 41-3 first round playoff win over New Hampshire. But SDSU had already turned the corner the week before in the dramatic win at North Dakota. So, what is the other silver bullet at SDSU? Hint: It lies in both the head coach and offensive coordinator. In Wednesday's "John-o-logue," Happy Hour John Gaskins plucked insight from Dan Jackson and others (like John Stiegelmeier) to pinpoint the turning points.At USD, there isn't one player or aspect that sticks out as a cure-all in their four-game win streak, which included three consecutive wins over Top 25 teams just to reach the playoffs.But there was a broad, overarching concept employed by head coach Travis Johansen that yielded powerful results. It wasn't an obvious or dramatic silver bullet, but Johansen reveals it in his weekly one-on-one 30 minute chat with Gaskins. After a close first half against Drake, the Yotes pulled away 38-17 in the first round of the playoffs as quarterback Aidan Bouman had his best game of the season.Was there a big turnaround moment for Bouman? How has Larenzo Fenner broken out into an at-times impossible-to-cover receiver? How did Mikey Munn become an All-MVFC first teammer? Johansen answers these questions and gives a glimpse into why Mercer has the nation's second-best passing yardage attack, and what kind of challenges the Bears defense will present to USD's now-humming offense.Meanwhile, Wednesday marked (Early) National Letter of Intent Signing Day for high school athletes all across the country. It is always a day for college football teams to pump up their incoming recruiting class.Gaskins chatted with two Sioux Falls standouts about their paths to CFB — Sioux Falls Washington receiver Jhace Woods (South Dakota State) and Sioux Falls Jefferson tight end Eddie Whiting (Michigan State).How did the schools they signed with first start a relationship? What led them to choosing their school, and which other schools tried to pluck them away?In both players' cases, the schools they chose went through coaching changes — Woods earlier in his process when Jacks coach Jimmy Rogers left for Washington State, and Whiting just days before signing day when MSU fired Jonathan Smith and within 24 hours hired Pat Fitzgerald.So, what kept the Sioux Falls ballers loyal to their original choice?

In this CPQ Podcast episode, Frank Sohn talks with Martin Johansen, founder of Mercura, a Denmark-based CPQ vendor focused on small to mid-sized manufacturers. With a background in finance and international business, Martin started Mercura straight out of college—initially building a configurator “by accident” for a customer request—and has since grown it into a SaaS platform used across Europe. We discuss Mercura's no-code setup and short implementation cycles (often 1–2 months), its support for cost-plus pricing, and partner/distributor workflows where channel users can upload and manage their own price lists. Martin explains how Mercura's in-browser 3D visualization enables room planning, snap-to placement, and collision detection in real time. While Mercura doesn't connect directly to CAD suites, customers can supply STEP files or drawings for CPQ-side visualization. A big portion of the conversation covers integrations—especially Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales and Microsoft Business Central—plus experience with PIM solutions and HubSpot. Martin shares how Mercura applies AI on the admin side to speed configuration/rules setup, why headless is not a near-term priority, and the company's focus on manufacturers in sectors like playground equipment and healthcare (typical 5–200 users). We also touch on his sales mindset, weekly tennis/soccer routine, and how the book Work the System shapes Mercura's process discipline. Listen in for practical insights on delivering an easy-to-implement CPQ with modern visualization and tight Microsoft integrations.

Leadership is rapidly evolving as artificial intelligence becomes deeply integrated into how organizations operate and make decisions. In a world where volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity are the norm, leaders are being challenged to not only understand the role of AI—but also to harness it in ways that enhance what makes leadership truly human. This episode dives into why leaders can no longer afford to treat AI as a separate technical domain, but rather as a strategic partner that augments decision making, stretches creativity, and humanizes leadership itself. As generative AI rapidly advances, the question is not whether leaders should use these tools, but how to do so thoughtfully, ethically, and effectively. This conversation explores how leaders can remain at the center, leverage augmentation, and make deliberate choices that will define competitive advantage and organizational health in the next decade. The episode also emphasizes the necessity of skepticism, risk awareness, and the cultivation of skills—like “human calming”—that will set exceptional leaders apart in an AI-rich world. Timestamped Overview [00:05:27] Introduction to AI and Leadership: Exploring why AI is now essential to leadership development and future success.[00:07:00] The Human Core of Leadership: Discussing the enduring need for human-centered leadership—augmented, not replaced, by technology.[00:08:34] Evolution of Leadership Skills: How classic leadership skills stand the test of time, but require a generative AI lens.[00:09:34] Rethinking “Cyborg Leadership”: Moving beyond science fiction to practical digital augmentation for leaders.[00:11:46] Developing the 10 AI-Augmented Leadership Skills: Why these skills matter and the unique place of “human calming.”[00:15:06] The Role of Human Calming: Centering leaders' intention and composure in an AI-driven world.[00:17:36] The Value of Skepticism: Why questioning, challenging, and stretching assumptions is vital in adopting new technology.[00:19:17] Embracing vs. Rejecting AI: Strategies for experimenting, learning, and building organizational trust with emerging tools.[00:24:00] Facing Risks and Unknowns: Assessing current and future risks—including cyber threats and over-focusing on efficiency.[00:30:03] Effectiveness vs. Efficiency: Shifting the leadership focus toward innovation, not just automation.[00:34:03] All Hands on Deck: Why AI is a human and organizational story—not just a technical one.[00:35:12] Future-Back Thinking: Blending human and machine, and why leaders must choose to play and prototype.[00:39:44] Managing the Noise: How scalable foresight and intentional augmentation can help leaders cut through information overload.[00:43:35] Practical Takeaways: Real-life examples of how leaders can use AI tools to augment creativity and effectiveness.[00:46:22] Embracing Skeptical Foresight: Encouraging leaders to challenge assumptions and stretch their strategic thinking.[00:50:02] Don't Get Discouraged: The learning curve of AI and the importance of hands-on experimentation.

Sioux Falls Live sports editor Matt Zimmer has covered the Jacks for a decade and has his thoughts in the latest weekly edition of Happy Hour's "Nobody's Listening Anyway" with John Gaskins.SDSU coach Dan Jackson, in his weekly Happy Hour chat on Monday, conveyed a clear message about what he wants out of Jacks fans on Saturday — strong attempts at the biggest and loudest crowd in Dykhouse Stadium history — and this leads to a discussion about Jackson as the football program's "ambassador" and how natural that unofficial role is for him.Jackson credited his "great program" and "great culture" for the come-from-behind win at then-No. 24 YSU. But was it a great win? Zim and John break down what went wrong in the first half and why SDSU dominated the second half, assess the latest performance from quarterback Chase Mason, and the emerging strength of running back Julius Loughridge and the "605 Hogs" up front.From there, what is there to make of South Dakota's 49-24 win over Murray State, which has lost all of its nine Missouri Valley Conference games since joining the league last season? For at least a game, Travis Johansen was right when he told John last week that his program has too strong of a culture to let the season go off the rails. (Here is Johansen's follow-up chat from Tuesday, with plenty of insight about his defense, penalties, playing violent, and an update on retired predecessor Bob Nielson).The Coyotes have gone "back to the pack" of the rest of the MVFC challengers to NDSU and SDSU's supremacy, but where does USD, UND, Illinois State, Southern Illinois, and Youngstown State appear to be in the current picture?Then, a recap of the latest, incredible chapter in the "Key to the City" series between backyard rivals Augustana and the University of Sioux Falls in which the Vikings came back from a 28-10 fourth quarter deficit to win 29-28 at USF. While Carson Wentz played "fine" in guiding the Minnesota Vikings to their own fourth quarterback in London in another "boring, nondescript" overseas game, what fascinated Zim more than anything on Sunday morning was Will Reichard's fourth quarter field goal kick that was veered off line by striking a seemingly invisible camera — and how nobody seemed to know what the hell happened for a while.The episode ends with the battle between two native South Dakota head coaches in the WNBA Finals, Nate Tibbetts and Becky Hammon. As John mentioned to start Tuesday's show and Zim wrote in a Wednesday column, this source of Rushmore State pride has been decades in the making, a product of a state that has valued and supported girls and women's basketball since well before other states finally found it fashionable.

Read transcriptHoly hybridized heroes and gamma-powered game adaptations, comic crusaders! This week on Play Comics, we're diving beak-first into the pixelated pandemonium that is Disney's PK: Out of the Shadows for PS2 and GameCube – because apparently someone thought the best way to honor The New Papernick Adventures (or The Duck Avenger for us North American folks) was to trap Donald Duck's superheroic alter ego in a 3D action-adventure that makes even the most patient gamers quack under pressure. Released in 2002 by Ubisoft Casablanca, this cel-shaded space opera promised to let players wield PK's X-Transformer gadgetry while battling the dastardly Evronians in their quest for galactic domination. What it actually delivered was a gaming experience that had all the depth of a Duckburg puddle and combat mechanics so repetitive that even One, PK's AI companion, probably wished he could compute his way out of this digital disaster. Joining us for this intergalactic expedition into mediocrity is Esh Johansen from the YouTube channel Fiction Addiction – a man who's already subjected himself to this very game and lived to tell the tale with his signature blend of wit and existential gaming dread. Together, we'll explore how this comic book adaptation managed to take one of Disney Italy's most innovative sci-fi superhero series and transform it into a linear platformer that makes rescuing scientists feel like actual work. So grab your cape and prepare for an episode that's infinitely more entertaining than grinding through the same alien duck enemies for hours on end – which, let's be honest, isn't exactly setting the bar at Ducklair Tower heights. Will this Evronians-versus-earthlings adventure redeem itself through sheer nostalgic charm, or will it vanish into the shadows faster than Donald's secret identity? Tune in to discover if this galactic game deserves a place in the Hall of Heroes… or should be banished to the Phantom Zone alongside Superman's worst enemies! Learn such things as: What else can Donald Duck get himself into? Did the developers even get to see the comics before working on this one? How many people are going to come ask me about doing other Disney Duck related games now? And so much more! You can find Esh on YouTube @FictionAddiction.

On Monday, December 11, 2023 22-year-old Lauren Johansen and her boyfriend, Bricen Rivers, were on vacation in Nashville and out at a bar. Bricen and Lauren had known each other for years. They had dated on and off since high school and on the surface, seemed happy. But behind the scenes, the relationship was violent. Lauren’s father later told police that Bricen was physically abusive to his daughter, and that he had stalked Lauren for years. On December 11, things took a horrific turn. Lauren and Bricen were hanging out at a bar when Bricen flew into a jealous rage and accused Lauren of having sex with a bartender. The fight continued after they left the bar. Hours later, police came to the scene and found Lauren screaming in a parking lot. She had been hit dozens of times, brutally beaten. The inside of the car was covered in blood. They arrested Bricen and he was charged with aggravated kidnapping, aggravated stalking, and coercion of a witness. He was taken to jail, and a judge set his bail at $250,000. It seemed like Lauren and Bricen’s violent relationship was finally at an end. But tragically, that was not the case. Bricen’s lawyer asked for a reduced bond, and in March, the judge agreed to lower it. So on June 24, 2024 Bricen was released from Davidson County Jail. Eight days later, Lauren Johansen was found dead in the trunk of her car.
