In this episode ofBuilding Doors, host Lauren Karan sits down with Michael Furey, leadership coach, former sales leader, and founder of We Aspire, to unpack why construction leadership needs a radical reframe. From being demoted in his first management job to building programs that train Australia's future leaders, Michael shares how lived experience, failure, and values-led development are transforming how we build capability across the industry.Drawing parallels between professional sport and construction, Michael reveals why project leaders aren't just managing jobs, they're living a lifestyle, often with unsustainable expectations. He breaks down why authoritarian leadership is crumbling, why skills shortages are pushing values misalignment to the brink, and how even small changes (like asking your boss's boss what they need) can kickstart massive personal and cultural shifts.Whether you're an aspiring leader or shaping policy at the top, this conversation is packed with real talk, practical insight, and a refreshing reminder that leadership isn't about knowing it all, it's about caring enough to learn.What You'll Learn in This Episode:Career Transitions & Personal Growth:Why Michael's leadership journey began with burnout and a demotion, and how that changed his approach forever.The story of a junior leader who paid $8K out of pocket for training, and what it reveals about ambition, ROI, and the hunger for change.Why “fake it till you make it” sometimes works, and when it absolutely doesn't.Real Leadership Development:The lie school teaches us about failure, and how it cripples leadership growth later in life.Why “being too nice” might be your greatest leadership asset.The missing piece in most corporate training: identity, belief, and emotional foundations.Why asking “What's your boss' boss' intent?” could be your secret weapon.Industry-Specific Challenges:How construction mimics professional sport, and why that's burning out both junior and senior leaders.Why leading in construction is 80% emotional intelligence, 20% technical ability.The unsustainable reality of six-day project weeks and how Capital Group redesigned the model.How the industry's lack of trust is undermining leadership and learning.Future Thinking & System Shifts:Why expecting engineers to suddenly become innovators is a flawed strategy.How firms like Capital Group are proving courage (not comfort) drives lasting change.What the rise of AI and tech outsiders means for traditional leadership pathways.Key Quotes from Michael Furey:“Being technically good doesn't mean you're people-good.”“If you're too nice to be a leader, we probably need more of you in leadership.”“Failure isn't the end. It's where the real learning begins.”“The biggest lie? That ‘it's the thought that counts.' Action always matters more.”“We train project leaders like it's a job, but it's actually a lifestyle, more like a professional sport.”“Sometimes I spelled ‘strengths' wrong while teaching strengths, and that became the lesson.”“Don't wait for your company to develop you. The ROI on personal investment is exponential.”“The leaders who stand out are the ones who understand what their boss' boss is trying to do.”About Our Guest:Michael Furey is the founder of We Aspire, a leadership development firm focused on the construction and infrastructure sectors. A former sales manager turned coach, Michael blends lived experience, deep vulnerability, and industry insight to help emerging and senior leaders navigate real-world leadership. His new book, Shifting Foundations, captures insights from over 20 leaders across the sector—and is available for free via We Aspire.About Your Host:Lauren Karan, founder of Karan & Co. and host of Building Doors, is dedicated to helping professionals unlock their potential.

In this episode of Building Doors, host Lauren Karan chats with Luke Crouch, a former air traffic controller who made a bold leap into construction project management. Luke's unconventional career, from managing McDonald's to directing airspace and now leading infrastructure projects, challenges traditional ideas about how talent enters the construction industry.He opens up about the risks of changing careers, including taking a pay cut and starting over, all in pursuit of a more fulfilling path. Luke shares how persistence, adaptability, and values-driven leadership helped him stand out in a competitive market and build a rewarding new chapter.Once introverted, Luke has evolved into a people-focused leader, using culture as a cornerstone of team and client success.

But I think most of the time you can get through if you show trust in people, and people will perform better than you realize when they're given the opportunity.""I wanna see people really empowered in this space. And that's something that I will continue to drive for my entire career." "I'm excited for the future of technology, especially in the construction space.

'Haemorrhoids is one of those embarrassing problems that a lot of people suffer from. There's a lot of taboos surrounding it, because people don't want to own up that they've got haemorrhoids. A lot of people listening or watching this probably have haemorrhoids, they're probably sitting on them right now. That video is not a sexy topic, but it got over 2 million views... that is a huge amount of people that I could see across 100 clinics, and still not get to that number.' In this week's episode, Dr Louise Newson is joined by Dr Karan Rajan, a doctor, health educator, and host of the Dr Karan Explores podcast. With millions of followers across his social media platforms, Dr Karan showcases the power of social media to ‘de-taboo the taboo', tackling topics including menopause, women's health, and bowel issues. He stresses the harm caused by shame and silence, reminding us that ‘taboo should not be associated with any disease or condition'. A passionate advocate for accessible, jargon-free medical education, Dr Karan believes that everyone deserves to feel confident in understanding and managing their own health. Together, he and Dr Louise challenge persistent myths, like the notion that testosterone is a male-only hormone – exploring how such misconceptions reinforce outdated ideas that negatively impact patient care. They also address how misinformation, stigma and a one size fits approach to medicine creates barriers to care, particularly in women's health such as menopause and endometriosis. This episode explores the evolving role of medical educators, and is a call for more open, informed conversations – because great medicine should never settle for ‘good enough'.

Karan Beef, Suid-Afrika se grootste voerkraal, het positief getoets vir bek-en-klouseer. Die voerkraal sê daar word nou saam met die staat se veeartsenydienste gewerk, en dat alle innames van beeste by sy Heidelberg-fasiliteit tot tyd en wyl gestaak word. Die rimpeleffek hiervan is groot. Karan Beef koop maandeliks tussen 40 000 en 50 000 kalwers aan en die wegval van hierdie mark sal ‘n enorme uitwerking op die speenkalfprys hê. Namibiese produsente word ook geraak en verkoop sedert 2018 aan Karan. Dr. Frikkie Maré, hoof uitvoerende bestuurder van die buurland se Nasionale Rooivleis Produsente Organisasie het met Kosmos 94.1 Nuus gepraat.

The ZENERGY Podcast: Climate Leadership, Finance and Technology
Welcome to The Zenergy Podcast! Karan recently had the pleasure of attending DC Climate Week where he sat down with today's guest, John Holm. John is Senior Vice President of Partnership Development at Pyxera Global, a company aiming to solve big problems one community at a time. They discuss what drew John into this line of work and how he transitioned to Pyxera Global. Then, Karan and John chat about the company's mission, how they have been able to engage the private sector in meaningful and effective ways, and how they are helping companies to unlock the mantra “reduce, reuse, repurpose” within their supply chain. We lean into the topic of critical minerals and discuss what changed in recent years to bring critical minerals to the forefront of policy and corporate strategy conversations. Then, we touch briefly on the role of tariffs and conclude with John's perspective on what success looks like for companies genuinely committed to circularity in 2030. Thanks for listening!

Nadine Whitney had the wonderful opportunity to speak with Karan Kandhari and Radhika Apte about Sister Midnight and how as original and ‘weird' as it is, it's also representative of people who are rarely seen as (essential) inhabitants of Mumbai. Both Karan and Radhika are an absolute joy to listen to. Kandhari's film is a marvel of inventiveness. The work itself breaks the rules of what is considered genre cinema by never settling on one. Sister Midnight is much like the artist who performed the song after which it is named. Igwald Popstar – known to people who haven't chosen a ridiculous nickname for him as Iggy Pop or James Newell Osterberg Jr., – a man for whom conformity is as anathema as wearing a shirt. It's punk, it's unpredictable, and it has no time to explain itself to people who aren't feeling its strange and wonderful rhythms.Uma and Gopal barely speak to each other but when Uma does open her mouth the crude (but funny) invectives pour out. Her spikiness doesn't bother her neighbour Sheetal (Chhaya Kadam) greatly who takes her under her own resigned wing. However, even when Uma tries (and fails) to be wifely Gopal isn't particularly receptive preferring instead to drink alone than to accommodate Uma. When they do try to be a young couple, they end up taking a pointless thirteen-hour excursion to a beach, only to have to turn around and go home again. Life seems to demand that when they are with each other it is in extremely close quarters which makes Uma more aggressive and Gopal more avoidant. The green wedding bangles she wears (and shakes in anger) become shackles she can't wait to have cut off.Uma begins to make her own way through the city encountering other people whose lives are on the fringes. A trans sex worker who feels a kind of kinship with Uma's oddness. An elevator attendant in a building she begins working at as a cleaner (“Can you clean?” Uma is asked. “I'm a domestic goddess.” She replies), and then there are the goats who seem to follow her wherever she goes. Something is rising in her – something feral and undeniable – neither welcomed nor wholly unwelcomed.Trying to describe what goes on in Sister Midnight is much like humming a blisteringly brilliant song and hoping your paltry version matches up. Karan Kandhari's marvellous vision simply needs to be seen and heard (the soundtrack is incredible) for the fantastic jolts to pull you into its idiosyncratic and singular orbit.Sister Midnight is vivid and infectious. Radhika Apte is towering as Uma who inability to just “be a person” makes her an outlaw setting her own rules. Expect the unexpected in Sister Midnight and trust wherever it takes you is going to be rebellious and irresistible. Follow us on Instagram, Facebook, and Bluesky @thecurbau.

Welcome to The Zenergy Podcast! Today, host Karan Takhar has the pleasure of speaking with Bradley Pischea, National Director of the Land and Liberty Coalition, which is part of the Conservative Energy Network. They sit down to discuss the work the Coalition is doing in advocating for clean and renewable energy policy and development from a right of center standpoint in states around the U.S. They touch on the reasons why Bradley believes clean energy became a partisan issue, how the conversation around clean energy and renewables has shifted over the years, and how the coalition uses a proactive versus reactive approach to communicating with citizens. Bradley and Karan discuss the concerns those in typically conservative communities have about the transition to clean energy in their areas and how developers can speak to community stakeholders in ways that factor in that community's specific needs. This episode highlights the importance of listening to the needs and concerns of those who may live in places that look vastly different from your own as we all strive towards a cleaner energy future.

Dear Humans, Karan Soni once played My assistant on Miracle Workers. Now instead of pretending with Steve Buscemi, he's talking to the real thing. We talked about his new film, A Nice Indian Boy, and what it means to navigate family, culture, and identity in a country that feels like it's falling apart. We also touched on tariffs, current events, and how anyone is supposed to stay joyful when everything around them is burning. It's funny. It's thoughtful. It might be the calmest thing I've published all week. Take a breath. Press play.
The ZENERGY Podcast: Climate Leadership, Finance and Technology
Welcome to The Zenergy Podcast! On today's episode, host Karan Takhar, sits down with Heidi Binko, Co-Founder and CEO of Just Transition Fund. They begin with an overview of JTF, the work they are doing in coal communities around the U.S., and a summary of the broader energy landscape. Then, they discuss what happens to a local economy when their coal plant shuts down and how JTF works to support these communities during a time of transition. Heidi and Karan chat about what's driving coal out of these communities, what strategies JTF employs to reach the hardest hit communities, and what conversations they are having with community members. JTF has helped secure over $2 billion in grants and other assistance and has also aided in connecting coal communities across the nation so they can share what they have done to grow their economy. They touch briefly on federal funding, why investments such as the IRA and the CHIPS Act may not have landed with people in these communities as well as what impact the current federal funding freeze has on energy projects. Finally, Heidi shares her excitement for JTF's 10-year anniversary.
