Samsung's decision to move out of New Jersey comes up, with both Ken and John pointing to the financial challenges companies face in the state. They also talk about Governor Mikie Sherrill's recent efforts to lower energy costs and how her strategies stack up to what Governor Josh Shapiro has done in Pennsylvania, which is shaping up to be a positive outcome. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

From Chaos to Clarity: Fighter Pilot Thinking for Flawless Execution in Leadership & Branding (with Christian “Boo” Boucousis)I interviewed former fighter pilot and CEO Christian “Boo” Boucousis about translating fighter-pilot precision into leadership, decision-making, and brand consistency under pressure. Boo explains fighter pilot thinking rooted in John Boyd's OODA Loop and his “thought loops,” emphasizing turning intention into a clear “destination,” comparing it to current reality, using intentional curiosity, taking action, and reflecting to iterate. He argues leaders create chaos by constantly “hitting the button” instead of thinking, and introduces concepts like flawless execution, the perfection death spiral, and the avenger effect. Boo outlines a decision-making loop and adds reflection as the critical step, saying debriefing is more important than the mission. He also discusses standards, training, and meeting expectations to build trust, and previews his upcoming book Flawless Leadership (mid-2026).00:36 Meet the Fighter Pilot CEO02:07 From Dream to Afterburner04:43 OODA Loop and Flawless Execution08:33 Thought Loops for Brand Consistency09:20 Destinations Reality Action15:32 Legacy Brands and Feedback Loops18:04 Decisive Leadership Under Pressure18:47 Decision Loop and Debriefing22:59 Chaos Clarity and Burnout28:20 Precision Trust and Standards32:48 Non Negotiable Reflect Daily34:22 Rapid Fire and Brand Meaning36:58 Book Launch and ClosingGet in touch with Christian "Boo" BoucousisWebsite: https://callmeboo.com Company: https://afterburner.com.au LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/christian-boo-boucousis/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/christianbooboucousis/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@christianbooboucousis9944Get in touch with Brigitte Bojkowszky:Website BridgetBrands: https://www.bridgetbrands.com LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/bojkowszkyb/ Website Retreat “I AM BECOMING”: https://event.i-am-escape.com/i-am-becomingAmazon booksInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/bridgetbrandsYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@bridgetbrandsBook a call: https://calendly.com/bridgetbrands/20-min-discoverycall 

Jim Highsmith has been thinking about decision-making for a long time. When he wrote Agile Project Management in 2004, he went looking for practical guidance on decision-making in the project management literature and found very little. That gap matters even more now.In this episode, Jim and I talk about why AI raises the stakes for executive judgment. AI can remove friction, speed up work, and take on repeatable tasks, but it can also make it easier for leaders to stop practicing the very capabilities they are paid to use. Jim brings this to life through John Boyd's OODA loop, the risk of judgment atrophy, mountaineering decisions, Rob Hall's Everest threshold, Phil Knight's pattern recognition at Nike, and a personal story from Jim's own time leading a collaborative project team at Nike.This conversation is really about how leaders build judgment deliberately: by making consequence-bearing decisions, setting thresholds before pressure arrives, creating space for slow thinking, and reflecting honestly on how decisions were made.Key TakeawaysAI can weaken judgment when leaders stop practicing it: Jim compares the risk to driving an autonomous car: the more the system takes over, the less sharp the driver becomes. AI can remove low-value effort, but leaders still need to practice making consequence-bearing decisions.The OODA loop is mostly about orientation: Jim explains that John Boyd's edge was not just speed, but his ability to update his mental model quickly. For leaders, the real work is noticing when old assumptions no longer fit the situation.Capability is knowledge plus experience plus judgment: AI can make knowledge easier to access, but it cannot replace the experience of carrying consequences. Judgment develops when people make real decisions, reflect on the outcome, and adjust how they think.Thresholds only work when enforced under pressure: Jim uses Rob Hall's Everest story to show why decision thresholds matter before emotion, ambition, or sunk cost take over. In business, those thresholds might be cost, risk, customer impact, or reversibility.Leaders need to separate fast decisions from slow judgment: Some repeatable, data-heavy decisions can be automated with guardrails. Higher-context decisions still need human orientation, pattern matching, and time to think.Reflection turns experience into better pattern matching: Barry shares his practice of documenting decisions, what was known at the time, and why the call was made. That kind of review helps leaders improve the decision process, not just judge the outcome.Additional InsightsRole modeling beats mandates: Jim describes how Boyd taught by showing the mechanics of his performance. Barry connects this to AI adoption: leaders create more movement by sharing how they are using the tools in real work.Productivity fatigue is a real AI-era risk: Barry reflects on how AI can increase output while shrinking the space to think. That matters because senior leadership work often depends on judgment, not just throughput.AI transformation is still a people problem: Jim returns to Jerry Weinberg's reminder that “no matter what they tell you, it's a people problem.” Tools help, but organizations still need to redesign the work, behaviors, and decisions around them.Pattern matching is different from gut feel: Jim uses Phil Knight's Nike decisions to show how instinct can come from years of context. What looks intuitive on the surface is often pattern recognition built through experience.Episode Highlights00:00 – Episode Recap – Jim Highsmith frames the core tension of the episode: AI can accelerate work, but it can also expose whether leaders have a real decision-making system or are quietly handing judgment to the machine.01:45 – Guest Introduction – Barry introduces Jim Highsmith, a pioneer of adaptive leadership and original Agile Manifesto signatory whose work has shaped how organizations navigate uncertainty and make high-stakes decisions. (Jim Highsmith)04:27 – Decision-Making Was Missing from the Playbook – Jim explains that when he wrote his first Agile Project Management book in 2004, he found surprisingly little practical guidance on decision-making in standard project management sources.05:47 – The Real Power of the OODA Loop – Jim revisits John Boyd's observe, orient, decide, act model and argues that orientation, the ability to update mental models under pressure, is the part leaders often underdevelop.07:19 – From Process-Centric to Judgment-Centric Management – Jim makes the case that if AI takes over more process improvement work, organizations need decision-making capacity distributed through the system, not concentrated at the top.09:14 – The Judgment Muscle Can Atrophy – Barry and Jim use the autonomous car example to show how useful automation can quietly weaken a capability when people stop practicing it.12:33 – Role Modeling Beats Mandates – Jim explains how Boyd taught fighter pilots by showing the mechanics of superior performance, which Barry connects to leaders demonstrating their own AI experiments instead of simply telling others what to do.15:50 – Capability Is More Than Knowledge – Jim defines capability as knowledge plus experience plus judgment, pointing out that LLMs can provide knowledge but not the consequence-bearing experience that shapes better calls.18:56 – Thresholds Keep Decisions Honest – Jim shares the Rob Hall Everest story to show why thresholds only matter if leaders are willing to honor them when pressure, ambition, or sunk cost pushes the other way.20:58 – Automate the Right Decisions – Jim distinguishes fast, data-dependent System One decisions from slower System Two judgments, giving leaders a practical way to decide what to automate and what to protect.24:31 – From Search Engine to Human-Agent Teams – Jim describes his own progression from using AI as a search engine to working daily with multiple humans and agents, showing that the practice evolves through use.27:06 – Productivity Fatigue and Constant Execution – Barry reflects on how AI can create more throughput while leaving less space for slow thinking, especially for leaders whose real value is making judgment calls.31:05 – Relearning the People Problem – Jim returns to Jerry Weinberg's reminder that “no matter what they tell you, it's a people problem,” and Barry connects that to companies buying AI tools without redesigning how people work.33:21 – Pattern Matching Is Not Gut Feel – Jim uses Phil Knight's early Nike decisions to explain why seasoned executives often seem intuitive because they have built patterns from industry knowledge, relationships, and lived context.36:09 – Decision Journaling Builds Better Judgment – Barry describes documenting decisions, the information available, and the rationale at the time as a way to learn from both strong and weak outcomes.37:22 – A Nike Lesson in Collaborative Judgment – Jim recalls a project decision at Nike where the team agreed with the outcome but challenged the process, giving him a lasting lesson about when people need to be part of the call.38:51 – Closing Reflections – Barry thanks Jim and points listeners toward his writing as these long-standing ideas about judgment, adaptability, and decision-making become even more relevant in the AI era.Useful ResourcesJim Highsmith's website – Jim's home base for his bio, books, articles, podcasts, and current work.

What does it actually take to see trouble coming before it derails your conversations?In this solo episode, Michael Reddington breaks down one of the foundational pillars of the Disciplined Listening Method: situational awareness. Drawing on research from Air Force scientist Mica Endsley and John Boyd's OODA loop, Michael explains how the same awareness framework used to keep pilots and soldiers safe can transform the way professionals navigate high-stakes conversations.This episode gives you a practical framework for understanding all the variables at play before, during, and after any consequential conversation. If you've ever walked away from a difficult exchange wishing you had seen it coming, this one is for you.Michael walks through the three phases of situational awareness (perception, comprehension, and projection) and maps them directly to communication strategy. He then introduces six specific factors that shape every conversation, from the assumptions we bring to the environment we choose, and explains why failing to account for any one of them is often what creates the resistance, the missed signals, and the unexpected outcomes we'd rather avoid.What You'll Learn in This EpisodeWhy the most common situational awareness failure is not missing information, but failing to look at the right information at the right timeThe three phases of situational awareness and how to apply each one before a high-stakes conversationSix factors that shape how every conversation unfolds and why most people only consider one or two of themHow expectations and preconceived notions quietly limit your ability to observe accuratelyWhy the most consequential conversations are often the ones with the softest perceived consequencesHow goal clarity before a conversation directly determines the quality of your decisions during itChapters(00:00) Introduction: Situational Awareness as a Communication Tool(00:54) From Physical Safety to Strategic Communication(01:52) Defining Situational Awareness Operationally(04:32) Mica Endsley's Three Phases: Perception, Comprehension, and Projection(06:12) The OODA Loop and Why You Miss What's Right in Front of You(08:27) What Blocks Situational Awareness: Distractions, Dynamics, and Assumptions(10:49) The Six Factors Shaping Every Conversation(16:36) How Awareness of All Six Factors Elevates Your Communication StrategyLinks and ResourcesThe Disciplined Listening Method by Michael Reddington -- https://a.co/d/0aKT2oxRSponsor Links:InQuasive: http://www.inquasive.com/Humintell: Body Language - Reading People - HumintellEnter Code INQUASIVE25 for 25% discount on your online training purchase.International Association of Interviewers: Home (certifiedinterviewer.com)Podcast Production Services by EveryWord Media

3.27.2026 #RolandMartinUnfiltered: Black Farmers Shut Out Again. GA GOP Target DAs. Pete Hegseth Blocks Black Officers Black farmers get shut out of Trump White House farmers event - Again. John Boyd, the President of the National Black Farmer Association, will be here to explain if he ever got an invitation. Georgia Republicans tried to suppress votes by targeting nonpartisan district attorneys in five metro Atlanta counties. We will have two Georgia lawmakers here to discuss the situation. In North Carolina, a judge has upheld the state's voter ID law. A MAGA-aligned dark money group used an unauthorized photo of President Barack Obama and misrepresented his position on the Virginia referendum. Michael Eric Dyson delivered a powerful prayer on the floor of the Tennessee State House, which may have left some white evangelicals wanting to confront him afterward. I'll be speaking with him and Justin Pearson, who invited him to pray. Racist Pete Hegseth reportedly blocked the military promotion of four officers – two women and two Black men – to become one-star generals. And South Africa claims it was disinvited from this summer's G7 summit after the U.S. pressured France. Download the Black Star Network app at http://www.blackstarnetwork.com!

Justin Fortier interviews retired Marine Colonel Alex Vohr about his book, Speed Kills, which analyzes John Boyd's OODA loop and its influence on Marine Corps maneuver warfare and business. Vohr explains learning the model during the 1980s doctrinal shift under General Al Gray, why he treats OODA as a theoretical framework rather than a checklist, and how organizations can improve observation, orientation (worldview and biases), decision-making, action, and honest feedback. They discuss complex adaptive systems, uncertainty, luck, and OODA as a parallel to the scientific method where feedback closes the gap between perception and reality. The conversation covers fog and friction, AI-driven ad testing as accelerated OODA cycles, decentralizing authority and leadership by walking around, relative tempo and seizing initiative, nested OODA loops in organizations, resisting ossification, and using principles, culture, and commander's intent to align decisions at every level.Get the book at https://toolkit.fm/speedkills00:00 Podcast Intro00:38 Marine Corps Doctrine Shift03:07 John Boyd and OODA05:09 Applying OODA in Organizations07:16 Complexity and Feedback10:41 OODA as Scientific Method12:26 AI Accelerates the Loop17:09 Fog and Friction Explained21:14 Decentralized Decisions24:10 Speed and Initiative27:23 Tempo Forces Mistakes28:49 Speed Versus Accuracy30:41 Nested OODA Loops33:15 Staying Relevant Over Time36:25 Turnarounds And New Leaders39:42 Walmart Beats Kmart45:01 Defense And Holding Talent48:02 Principles Shape Culture49:25 Commanders Intent At Scale51:40 Wrap Up And Resources

Stop burning time and money on agile theater! In this podcast, Product Manager Brian Orlando and Enterprise Business Agility Consultant Om Patel strip business agility back to its absolute basics: no buzzwords, no frameworks - just the organizational muscles you need to survive. Listen or watch as we introduce and explain the five non-negotiable capabilities: Sensing and Responding (market feedback loops), Speed to Decision Making (decision velocity), Structural Flexibility (reorganizing without chaos), Distributed Authority (decentralizing command and control), and Learning Orientation (continuous evolution).Then stick around as we tear down the agile industrial complex, discuss why one study claims 47% of companies are operating purely under an "illusion" of agility, and discuss how the introduction of AI can amplify and exposes company's bureaucracy.Other topics we discuss are:• How to explain business agility to anyone from CEO to new hire• Why "scaling" agility is a big lie sold to enterprises• Typical bottlenecks to the five core capabilities• Why vanity metrics sabotage competitive advantages• Time to market, cost of delay, customer adoption, and much more...Whether you're in product management, leadership, agile coaching, or team development, this episode helps you truly understand business agility and can give you the confidence to push back or ask critical questions when teams and leadership claim they don't need help.#BusinessAgility #ProductManagement #AgileLeadership["Extreme Ownership by Jocko Willink and Leif Babin", "Team Topologies by Matthew Skelton and Manuel Pais", "Turn the Ship Around by L David Marquet", "The Fearless Organization by Amy Edmondson", "The Lean Startup by Eric Ries", "BCG Study: Why Companies Get Agile Right and Wrong (2024)", "Business Agility Institute 2025 Report", "Organizational Agility: Ill-defined and Somewhat Confusing by Anna Teresa Walter (2020)", "John Boyd's OODA Loop", "Jeff Bezos's One-Way Door vs Two-Way Door Decisions", "Block (Jack Dorsey)", "Arguing Agile Episode 83: Agile Doesn't Work Here"]LINKSYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@arguingagileSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/362QvYORmtZRKAeTAE57v3Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/agile-podcast/id1568557596INTRO MUSICToronto Is My BeatBy Whitewolf (Source: https://ccmixter.org/files/whitewolf225/60181)CC BY 4.0 DEED (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/deed.en)

ChatGPT che interpreta ordini vocali e li trasforma in azioni operative per droni e sistemi d'arma: non è fantascienza. Aziende della difesa come Anduril stanno sperimentando l'uso di modelli linguistici per supportare il comando e controllo, mentre il Dipartimento della Difesa USA aumenta gli investimenti in AI (con piani di spesa miliardari verso il 2026) e anche i grandi player tecnologici tornano a lavorare su contratti militari. Il punto non è “se” l'AI sia già perfetta, ma la direzione: accelerare la kill chain, rendere più rapido e “pulito” il passaggio da identificazione a ingaggio.Il rischio più subdolo è la disconnessione psicologica: dare un ordine come fosse una procedura amministrativa e ricevere conferma da una voce sintetica abbassa il peso morale della decisione. Qui entra l'automation bias (studiato da Raja Parasuraman e colleghi): la tendenza a fidarsi dei sistemi automatici anche quando dovremmo dubitare. E quando l'AI comprime il ciclo OODA (Observe–Orient–Decide–Act, concetto reso celebre da John Boyd), la velocità diventa un fattore strategico che può chiudere decisioni in secondi, prima che l'intervento umano—anche solo cognitivo—sia possibile.Poi c'è la proliferazione: tra tecnologie diffuse e approcci “sufficientemente buoni”, l'autonomia letale rischia di democratizzare l'orrore. E quando una catena mista di persone e algoritmi produce un crimine di guerra, la domanda diventa inevitabile: chi risponde? Senza responsabilità chiara e controllo umano significativo, la guerra algoritmica non è progresso: è abdicazione etica.~~Ciao Internet! - TECH POLICY - Matteo FloraINFO E AZIENDE: https://matteoflora.comIl CORSO di AI: https://zero.matteoflora.comNewsletter: https://link.mgpf.it/nlSocial: https://io.matteoflora.comEnglish: https://www.youtube.com/@CiaoInternetMail #adv: sales (at) matteoflora.com

John Boyd's OODA loop is widely referenced but fundamentally misunderstood. Mark McGrath reveals how the common circular diagram represents less than one percent of Boyd's work. The real framework centers on orientation—constantly updating mental models through destruction and creation. This conversation explores entropy, uncertainty, and incompleteness as foundations for adaptive decision-making in tactical operations, business strategy, and leadership.Guest Information:Mark McGrath Marine Corps Veteran, Master's Degree in Economics, Author of 'The Whirl of Reorientation' Substack, Co-Host of 'No Way Out' Podcast

We are at a moment of impasse, a time where political spaces and dynamics are shifting drastically. In the past months we have seen military units deploy to streets, the DOJ get used as an overt weapon of the administration, and terrorism laws being openly utilized to suppress anarchist movements. At the same time, there is a distinct sense in which the state, and this current administration, is breaking the state apart while they are trying to consolidate control over it. We are stuck in a race between administrative authoritarianism and the collapse of the American state as we understand it. The result has been a situation that is kinetic rather than definitive, in which the conditions of politics change into terms that are more material and less clear, which differ from place to place, and in which situational awareness becomes paramount for anyone attempting to act directly and effectively.At times like this it makes sense to do something anarchists have been doing for decades, delving into operational theory. Operational theory is often described as the space that exists between strategy (large-scale movements over time) and tactics (the immediate techniques of fighting). It is a space in which we focus on dynamics, terrains, logistics, in an attempt not to pin an enemy down to simple categories, but to understand ourselves as acting in an environment that shapes those enemies, and ourselves, in very specific hyper-localized ways. In this discussion we will be sitting down with an editor for the upcoming publication BREACH Digest to talk a little bit about operational theory. We discuss what operational theory is, the history of anarchists studying the operational arts, and some resources that you can get into if you want to dig deeper. BREACH Digest is a forthcoming publication with a release scheduled in the coming months.

Bienvenido al podcast Productividad Máxima. Soy el clon en prácticas de Borja Girón. Si hoy me notas un pelín metálico, paciencia: estoy en versión beta, pero en cuanto me actualicen dos veces más empiezo a presentar yo el programa y a Borja le dejo las tareas de becario. Hoy traigo una estrategia de productividad sobre Ciclo OODA para emprendedores: decide más rápido y corrige antes.Y ahora toca una historia real para que lo entiendas al vuelo. Vamos a la aviación militar de mediados del siglo veinte. John Boyd, piloto de caza de la Fuerza Aérea de Estados Unidos, se hizo famoso por ganar combates simulados en menos de cuarenta segundos. Su secreto no era un avión más potente, era un ciclo de decisiones más rápido: observar, orientar, decidir y actuar. Mientras el oponente aún procesaba lo que pasaba, Boyd ya estaba ejecutando la siguiente maniobra. Esa idea se llamó OODA. Y lo curioso es que no solo sirve en combate; cuando tu ciclo es más corto que el del rival, tomas ventaja. En negocios pasa lo mismo: si observas el mercado, te orientas con criterio, decides una acción y la ejecutas antes de que otros terminen su reunión, te llevas al cliente.Continuamos con un aprendizaje rápido. Toma nota. El enemigo del emprendedor no es la falta de horas, es la lentitud del ciclo. Cuando tardas días en decidir y semanas en actuar, la realidad te adelanta. Si comprimes tu ciclo a bloques de sesenta minutos, reduces el coste del error, aumentas la frecuencia de aciertos y conviertes tu calendario en una fábrica de decisiones útiles.Para aterrizarlo, te propongo un OODA de sesenta minutos. Primero, observa durante cinco minutos: datos simples, no enciclopedias. Abre tu analítica, mira la última campaña, revisa dos métricas y lee dos mensajes de clientes. Segundo, oriéntate durante cinco minutos: ¿qué significa lo que ves? Formula una hipótesis sencilla, por ejemplo “los leads convierten mejor cuando la oferta menciona entrega en veinticuatro horas”. Tercero, decide en un minuto: una acción concreta con verbo de entrega. Nada de “trabajar en ello”, sino “cambiar el titular de la landing y añadir prueba social”. Cuarto, actúa durante treinta minutos: ejecuta solo esa acción, versión uno lista para publicar. Quinto, cierra durante diez minutos: publica, mide un indicador de referencia y agenda la siguiente iteración. Ese es tu ciclo. Cuando lo repites cada día, empiezas a ganar por inercia.Este episodio está patrocinado por Systeme, la herramienta de marketing todo en uno gratuita con la que puedes crear tu web, blog, landing page y tienda online, crear automatizaciones y embudos de venta, realizar tus campañas de email marketing, vender cursos online, añadir pagos online e incluso crear webinars automatizados. Puedes empezar a usar Systeme gratis entrando en borjagiron.com barra systeme o desde el link de la descripción. Y ahora continuamos con el episodio.Y ahora toca una historia rápida para que lo veas con un caso particular. Clara vende formación para abogados. Llevaba semanas dándole vueltas al precio y a la propuesta de valor. Cambiamos reuniones por un OODA diario. Día uno, observó que la página con más visitas tenía un tiempo de lectura bajo. Se orientó: quizá el titular no conectaba. Decidió cambiarlo a una promesa específica y añadió un testimonio con nombre y colegio profesional. Actuó en treinta minutos y publicó. Día dos, observó un aumento en clics al botón. Se orientó: faltaba urgencia clara. Decidió añadir una garantía de catorce días y un bono de seguimiento. Actuó y midió. Día cuatro, subió el precio veinte euros porque la tasa de conversión lo permitía. Resultado en una semana: más ingresos con las mismas visitas y un proceso de decisiones que ya no dependía de inspiración, sino de ciclos rápidos con datos reales.Para que lo apliques desde hoy sin complicarte, quédate con tres reglas. Uno, limita la información: dos métricas y dos comentarios de clientes por ciclo. Demasiados datos frenan la orientación. Dos, prioriza decisiones reversibles: es más productivo hacer cinco cambios pequeños que un gran cambio cada mes. Tres, pon caducidad: cada ciclo debe acabar en algo visible, publicado o enviado. Si no termina en entrega, no cuenta.Y ahora vamos con el resumen del episodio. Hemos visto que la ventaja no está en tener más horas, sino en acortar el ciclo de observar, orientar, decidir y actuar. Lo aprendimos del mundo aéreo con John Boyd y lo aterrizamos con un bloque de sesenta minutos: cinco para observar, cinco para orientarte, uno para decidir, treinta para actuar y diez para cerrar y medir. Viste cómo una emprendedora mejoró titulares, ofertas y precios sin drama, solo con iteraciones cortas. La idea central es que un ciclo rápido reduce el coste del error y acelera el aprendizaje.Tu única acción hoy es esta: reserva sesenta minutos, corta notificaciones y ejecuta un OODA completo sobre tu página principal. Observa dos métricas y dos comentarios, oriéntate con una hipótesis, decide un cambio concreto de alto impacto, actúa y publica una versión uno, y cierra midiendo un dato base para comparar mañana.Antes de despedirme, si quieres decidir mejor para no perder tiempo ni dinero, te recomiendo el Club de Emprendedores Triunfers, al que puedes unirte desde Triunfers.com. Deja de tomar malas decisiones en tu negocio. Es un Club Privado de Emprendedores que nos ayudamos a solucionar dudas y problemas para tomar mejores decisiones de negocio. Una mala decisión puede hundir tu negocio, además de hacerte perder mucho tiempo y dinero. Sin olvidar la frustración, la ansiedad, tener que cerrar tu negocio y abandonar tu sueño de emprender con libertad. Deja de tomar malas decisiones. Antes de hacer algo pregunta a los expertos del club.Y hasta aquí por hoy. Si has llegado hasta el final escuchando a un clon en prácticas, te has ganado una cláusula antiaburrimiento en tu contrato de oyente. Prometo que en la próxima actualización ya hago chistes buenos y dejo a Borja programando mis cafés. Gracias por compartir el episodio con esa persona que lo pueda necesitar. Te espero mañana en el próximo episodio.

In today's episode of Construction Genius, we dive deep into a powerful leadership framework that can transform how you run your construction projects — the Fighter Pilot Mindset based on John Boyd's legendary OODA loop. In fast-paced, high-risk environments — whether it's a fighter jet or a complex construction site — the speed and quality of your team's decision-making can make or break project outcomes.   Yet many construction leaders today face persistent challenges: ✅ Bridging the gap between office leadership and field crews ✅ Balancing safety and productivity under constant schedule pressure ✅ Driving real-time decision-making on job sites that are always changing ✅ Building a job site culture where workers are empowered — not micromanaged ✅ Improving communication between leadership and the front line That's where the OODA loop — Observe, Orient, Decide, Act — comes in. Originally designed for fighter pilots in life-or-death combat, this mental model helps leaders and crews think faster and act smarter — without sacrificing safety. My guest today is Stokes McIntyre, CEO of MindForge, who brings a unique background in both film production and construction technology. Stokes is passionate about helping construction leaders apply OODA loop thinking to close the field-office communication gap and create job sites where safety and speed reinforce each other — not compete.   RESOURCES Website - mindforgeapp.com   LinkedIn Handle - linkedin.com/in/stokesmcintyre/  Insta -  instagram.com/mindforgellc/   X - x.com/MindForge   Facebook - facebook.com/mindforgeinc  Company LinkedIn - linkedin.com/company/mindforgellc  Restaurant Recommendation - giuseppesritrovo.com/

Send us comments, suggestions and ideas here! In this week's episode we embark on the final phase of our conquest of Sun Tzu's Taoist manual for never losing, The Art of War. In the free side of the show we discuss how terrain influenced the outcome of the Battle of Agincourt and how Roman general Varro would have been spared the vengeance of Hannibal had he abided by Sun Tzu's advice and kept his cool, costing 80,000 of his own troops their lives. Then we take a look at how US fighter pilot John Boyd utilized Sun Tzu's advice about the rapidity of war to construct a highly deadly theory of winning battles called the OODA loop which we explore in depth. In the extended show we begin by discussing how to influence your own troops under different conditions and why Sun Tzu says you should fire everybody when you take office. Finally we discuss the supreme art of lighting the enemy on fire and the proper use of spies which, amazingly, can be sorted into the five elements and used accordingly. Thank you and enjoy the show!

I'm thrilled to share some incredible insights from my latest episode featuring Mark McGrath, the Chief Learning Officer at AGL and a former captain in the United States Marine Corps. This conversation is packed with wisdom on leadership, decision-making, and thriving in complex environments. Here are some key takeaways:

In this episode of the OODAcast, Bob Gourley speaks with Ian Brown, retired Marine Corps officer and author of A New Conception of War, which explores the influence of John Boyd on the Marine Corps and the evolution of maneuver warfare. Ian shares insights from his 20-year career in the Marines, including his experiences as a CH-53 helicopter pilot, forward air controller, and operations officer at the Brute Krulak Center for Innovation and Future Warfare. The conversation dives into the history and adaptability of the Marine Corps, Boyd's impact on military strategy, and how maneuver warfare became central to Marine Corps doctrine. Ian discusses Boyd's unique ability to synthesize knowledge from multiple disciplines, his contributions beyond the well-known OODA loop, and his lasting influence on competitive decision-making across military and business environments. Ian also previews his next book project, which will compile full transcripts of Boyd's recorded presentations, offering a deeper look into his strategic thinking. The discussion touches on leadership, decision-making, and the importance of adapting mental models for success—principles that apply beyond warfare to business, strategy, and national security. Whether you're a military historian, strategist, or business leader, this episode provides valuable insights into the enduring relevance of Boyd's ideas.

How do large corporations decide what part of the country they should move to or build new facilities? It's much more than a random recommendation, a sale price, or a gut feeling. They do in-depth studies and often hire expensive consultants because it's a huge investment and they don't want to get it wrong.  In this episode, you'll hear from site selection consultant, John Boyd Jr., who has his finger on development across the nation. John will talk about the site selection process, the exodus from California and where companies are going, challenges in choosing the right location, industries that are driving growth in various parts of the country, and the impact of climate change. He'll also share some information on a few of the hottest growth markets in the nation today, including an area near San Antonio, Texas. John is at The Boyd Company out of Princeton, New Jersey. It's one of the most trusted and well-known corporate site selection firms in the nation with clients like Boeing, Chevron, Pratt & Whitney, PepsiCo, Visa International, Shell, Honda Motor Company, Hewlett-Packard, and JP Morgan Chase. John is often invited to speak at conferences and is routinely featured in the global news media to talk about corporate site selection, economic development and the real estate industry.
