Lai-Ling Su: The Explicit and Implicit Layers of Unclear Decision Rights Read the full Show Notes and search through the world's largest audio library on Agile and Scrum directly on the Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast website: http://bit.ly/SMTP_ShowNotes. The Great Product Owner: Building Impactful Relationships That Get Things Done "What made her great was the fact that she focused not just on her technical prowess, but on the people, politics, and the performance side of product. And she used that to turn ambition into reality, and she used that to move strategy to execution." - Lai-Ling Su   Lai-Ling describes a phenomenal product owner she worked with about 12 months ago. This woman wasn't just technically strong—she was a leader whose team of 10 loved her because she mentored them to be as strong or stronger than herself.  The business loved her because she was exceptionally commercial, thinking about customer value, revenues, expenses, profit models, and marketing long before anything was built. She held everyone true to doing the right thing even when pressure mounted. The executive team loved her because her greatest strength was building solid, impactful relationships that transcended boundaries.  She removed the us-versus-them mentality, broke down departmental silos, handled politically charged scenarios, negotiated with difficult personalities across technology, legal, compliance, sales, and operations. She removed impediments responsively and got stuff done when others couldn't. Her secret was focusing on people, politics, and performance—not just technical prowess.   In this episode, we refer to Esco Kilpi's work on interactive value creation, which describes how value in knowledge organizations is created through ongoing conversations—not just meetings, but emails, wiki pages, and corridor conversations that steward decisions over time.   Self-reflection Question: How deliberately are you investing in building relationships that transcend your immediate team and department? The Bad Product Owner: Unclear Decision Rights "Does your head of product know that he has the rights and the authority to make the types of decisions that you want him to?" - Lai-Ling Su   The anti-pattern Lai-Ling encounters most persistently is unclear decision rights. She illustrates this with a story about a GM in a multinational who effectively worked as a chief product officer. His biggest complaint was that his head of product kept coming to him for decisions that should have been made independently—even though he'd been given $10 million a year to run his teams.  When Lai-Ling asked one simple question—"Does your head of product know he has the authority to make these decisions?"—the GM sat in shocked silence for a full minute. But the pattern runs deeper: there's the assumption that people know their decision rights, there's knowing your rights but not knowing how to make those decisions, and there's knowing your rights but getting trumped every time you try, leading to learned helplessness.  Some product owners have never learned to make decisions because they always defer to someone who seems better at it. There are both explicit and implicit unclear decision rights—you might tell someone they have authority while implicitly sabotaging their decisions.   Self-reflection Question: Have you explicitly confirmed with your stakeholders what decisions you have the authority to make—and are those decisions being respected in practice?   [The Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast Recommends]

Two Hot Takes host, Morgan, is joined by guest co-host Joe Santagato & Frank Alvarez from The Basement Yard! You guys have been waiting for this one, and I hope we delivered. We have a bunch of stories that have odd layers we're trying to peel back and sort though. For example a guy who used their Scrub Daddy as a liter box cleaner, a woman who doesn't want her future BIL at the wedding, a homicide detective that treats his partner like a suspect, and a very special "where's the beef" shirt. Can't wait to see how you would handle these ones!

The 1930s prove to be an exceptional decade for research at The General Electric Company. Katharine Burr Blodgett works closely alongside her boss, Irving Langmuir who, in 1932, wins the Nobel Prize for Chemistry. In 1938, Katharine's meticulous experiments with thin film coatings on solid surfaces lead to her most important breakthrough: non-reflecting glass. The General Electric Company's public relations machine kicks into high gear. Katharine becomes an overnight sensation, both in the scientific community and in the press, which dub her discovery “invisible glass.” The assistant to the Nobel Prize winner, long invisible herself, takes center stage.  Learn about your ad choices: dovetail.prx.org/ad-choices

Why do civilizations turn against their own greatness, and what happens when they do? In this episode of Context with Brad Harris, we trace the psychology of civilizational decline, from the Great Wall of China and the Apollo program to the Department of Justice's 2026 lawsuit against UCLA Medical School, asking why modern Western culture increasingly treats excellence as a moral threat. Drawing on Alain de Botton's book Status Anxiety and Ayn Rand's The Fountainhead, we explore how status anxiety breeds resentment, how resentment disguises itself as compassion, and how institutions captured by this cycle begin to reward narrative over competence, with consequences that can be lethal. This episode builds on my previous episodes Which Humanity Survives and Layers of Meaning in Human History to ask: do we still have the civilizational courage to revere greatness?

Today we are joined with actor Herman Tommeras and director Emma Higgins to get a behind the scenes look into their new psychological thriller SWEETNESS. This film is absolutely crushing with the critics and gives us a bit of a modern vibe of Stephen Kings Misery story (with the roles of a pop rock star held captive by an obsessive fan). Layers of character depth with real life themes of mental health, toxic fandom, artist exhaustion, vices, and much more made this a great conversation around the film itself. We thoroughly enjoyed this flick and after this interview we gained even more layers of appreciation for it.

Dr. Bob Winters—The Confidence Doctor—is back for round two, and this conversation is a straight-up masterclass in what actually creates elite confidence. Because here's the truth: most golfers (and high performers) don't have an information problem. They have a compliance problem. We talk about why "positive thinking" is useless without "positive doing," how Dr. Bob uses a deceptively simple question—"Are you good?"—to expose blind spots, and why real confidence is earned through proof, not hype. We also go to a deeper place: the cost of becoming elite. The strain. The sacrifice. The quiet moments where you wonder if it's worth it. And why, for the people who truly want it, the hard is what makes it great. In this episode, you'll learn: Why "positive doing" is the missing link between ambition and results The simple question that exposes confidence… or hidden self-doubt How to stop "knowing what to do" but still not doing it What elite performers do differently when setbacks knock them down The real cost of elite confidence—and why it's worth paying How to use selective attention to train your focus (and your results) Why compliance is the separator between winners and wannabes Get your pencils ready and start listening.  P.S.

Confidence grows fastest when you collect proof—small wins, repeated, over time. "Are you good?" is a diagnostic question that reveals belief, hesitation, and identity. Most people aren't stuck because they don't know what to do—they're stuck because they won't do it consistently. Setbacks are training reps for resilience: reset, reframe, re-engage—especially in golf. Elite confidence has a cost: sacrifice, discomfort, doubt, and the willingness to keep going anyway. Compliance is the hard truth—if you won't do what you said you'd do, you're not committed, you just like the idea. Key Quotes: "I turn the improbable into possible." "We talk about positive thinking… but you have to have positive doing." "It takes a long time to learn how to play like yourself." "You do it until you become it." "We've got to get through the suck before we get through the success." "It's the hard that makes it great." "Are you doing what you said you wanted to do?"

For fun, Martin has a direct conversation with Grok about UFOs, Elon Musk, and Starlink. We examine Musk's claim that with thousands of Starlink satellites in orbit, none have ever had to dodge an alien craft — and whether that actually proves anything given the vastness of space.The discussion moves into some of the most compelling UFO cases on record, including the 2004 Nimitz encounter, the Phoenix Lights, and the 1994 Ariel School incident in Zimbabwe. Another great Grok opinion: "Maybe those kids got a backstage pass to something bigger!"We explore pilot testimony, mass sightings, centuries-old reports, and why certain cases continue to stand out decades later. The conversation also touches on government technology, drones, long-standing historical accounts, and whether humanity may simply be missing part of the bigger picture. A thoughtful, candid exchange blending AI analysis with research and opinions.

When the house gets quiet and the weight of missing your child feels heavier than you can possibly bear, it's natural to look for a place to retreat. Whether you are leaning on your family to carry the weight or retreating inward to manage it all alone, you might be surprised to find that your "hiding place" is actually a response to the hidden layers of grief that no one warned you about. This episode is a gentle but honest look at how we survive the unthinkable. We're moving past the surface-level "I'm fine" and looking at the patterns that quietly shape your days. If you feel like you're stuck in a cycle of just getting through the next hour, this conversation will help you identify the deeper layers keeping you isolated so you can begin to find your way back to a place of connection. Inside this conversation, you'll discover: The "Hiding Place" Audit: How to identify where you are retreating—whether it's through "staying busy," scrolling, or complete emotional shutdown. The Burden of the Surviving Child: A candid look at whether you are unintentionally asking your other children to carry more than they were meant to. Isolation vs. Solitude: Why your current coping mechanisms might be keeping you stuck in survival mode instead of moving toward healing. The "Function over Feeling" Trap: Why staying busy feels like safety, but might actually be the very thing keeping your heart from finding rest. I want you to know that you don't have to carry the heavy layers of loss by yourself. There is a safe place for you to be seen, heard, and understood without judgment. Press play, take a deep breath, and remember that even in your darkest hiding place, God sees you, He loves you, and He is waiting to meet you right where you are.   ✨ Live Gathering for Grieving Moms — February 26 & 27 If you're realizing that life without your child has shifted everything — the way you see yourself, your relationships, and the future you thought you were moving toward — you don't have to navigate that disorientation on your own. I'm hosting a two-day live gathering for grieving moms. This will be a time to come together, be present, and talk honestly about grief, identity, and what it looks like to keep lliving when life no longer feels familiar.

Tonight — the question no one can answer: how does an eighty-four-year-old woman disappear in a world of cameras, GPS, and digital footprints?Twelve days. More than a hundred investigators. FBI resources. Eighteen thousand tips. And Nancy Guthrie is simply gone. No vehicle of interest. No suspects. No confirmed sighting since she walked through her own front door.Former FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke joins us live. He ran the Bureau's Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program — a world where people professionally try to move without being detected. He knows the gaps in the surveillance architecture. Tonight he explains how they get exploited.Nancy had a doorbell camera. A pacemaker app connected to her phone. Family nearby. Layers of protection on paper.

Confidence isn't something you force, it isn't something you fake and it definitely isn't something you earn by pushing through fear. In this episode, I'm breaking down what actually builds confidence - for both you and your horse - and why safety, clarity, and connection are the real foundations for trusting partnership. If you've ever: Second-guessed yourself on the ground or in the saddle Felt confident at home but wobbly in new environments Watched your horse freeze, balk, react, or shut down Tried to "just be braver" but felt your body resist This conversation will shift how you see confidence entirely. Inside this episode, I walk you through the 5-layer confidence framework I use with my clients: Cultivating a foundation of safety (internally and externally) Understanding the principles behind behavior and communication Building connection from the ground up Gentle, consent-based exposure training (not flooding) Inner alchemy and learning how to expand your capacity without overriding yourself You'll learn why confusion, pain, and fear erode confidence... and how to work with your nervous system (and your horse's) instead of against it. Confidence becomes a byproduct when your foundation is stable enough to hold you.

The only woman in a laboratory filled with men, Katharine Burr Blodgett soon becomes indispensable as an assistant to The General Electric Company's most famous scientist, Irving Langmuir. Their working relationship is an elegant symbiosis: her forte is experimentation, his is scientific theory. We follow their partnership as they successfully find ways to build a better lightbulb but Langmuir stumbles with an off-the-wall theory of matter. All the while, Katharine builds her life in Schenectady: going to church, making new friends, falling in love. In 1924, she embarks on a new journey to the University of Cambridge, where she studies with some of the most prominent physicists of the 20th century.  Learn about your ad choices: dovetail.prx.org/ad-choices

This episode is raw. I am two months into therapy and questioning parts of my identity I have carried for years. Shredding one version of myself. Trying to consciously build the next. You can be successful. You can have the family. You can be disciplined and driven. Yet still feel slightly hollow. Slightly misaligned. Slightly unsure of who you actually are becoming. This is about that space. Inside this episode: • Why identity drift happens, especially to high performing men • The first anchor: values – what truly matters to you and whether you are actually living it • The second anchor: vision – if your life looks exactly the same in five years, how would that feel • The third anchor: voice – the narrative you repeat to yourself and how it shapes the man you become • Why success without alignment can still feel empty • How to start consciously rebuilding the next version of you There is no hype in this one. No performance. Just truth. If you have felt slightly off track lately… If you are achieving but not fulfilled… If you know there is another level of you waiting to be built… This will help you put structure to that feeling.

Why does the Epstein case continue to captivate the world? Does it reveal more than individual wrongdoing, but also expose deeper questions about power and accountability? In this episode of The Hub, Wang Guan speaks with Rina Shah, geopolitical analyst and commentator; Brandon Andrews, entrepreneur and former Hill staffer; and Josef Mahoney, professor of politics at East China Normal University, to examine the implications of the Epstein files. They explore how global elite networks operate, the obstacles facing the justice system, and how political pressure and withheld information erode public trust in some Western societies.

Hi Sleepy.This is one of those episodes where the talking just keeps walking. From a cold Stockholm morning to bluish mountains in Dalarna (The Valleys). From old theater hierarchies, fear, and drunk directors, to a warm container called Adventure Wolf where nothing is demanded of anyone.I talk about growing older without growing certain. About fame that once felt urgent and now feels heavy. About loneliness as freedom, habit, and sometimes a quiet prison. About being fifty and still confused, and how that might actually be okay.You don't have to listen closely. You can let my voice become a distant mumble from another room. Or stay with me as I drift through memory, bitterness, gratitude, and the strange relief of small rooms.It is what it is. What happens, happens. And right now, there's nothing we can do about it.Sleep Tight!More about Henrik, click here: https://linktr.ee/Henrikstahl Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Like rings in a tree and onions and ogres and Russian nesting dolls, we as people and we as faith communities carry layers within us. Like the layer Israel built upon return from exile, and the layer Jesus added to the story of God, may we take apart layers of the nesting doll and bless the lives and years we are given.

Katharine Burr Blodgett arrives at The General Electric Company's legendary research laboratory in Schenectady, New York, known as the “House of Magic.” She was just 20 years old when she entered a world built almost entirely for men. She joins as assistant to the brilliant and eccentric Irving Langmuir, a star chemist whose fundamental work in materials science and light bulbs would bring fame to him, and fortune to GE. The General Electric Company was an obvious choice for a brilliant young scientist. But was it the promise of scientific discoveries that drew Katharine to Schenectady or the need to confront the personal tragedy that marked the place where her own story began? Perhaps it was both.

For the next two weeks we'll be talking about all things NAMM and getting into some of the exciting innovations we spotted on the show floor, along with some trends that we noticed this year, starting with AI's inflection point in the music industry. Last year, the conversation around AI was tense with creators expressing fear over being replaced by AI. This year, we saw more AI tools designed to support creators, and in some case, become integrated directly into software and hardware that musicians already know and use.In this episode, you'll hear two conversations from NAMM that capture this shift.  Daniel Roland from LANDR discusses how creator-first AI tools are evolving, LANDR's new Layers feature that adds real musician performances through AI, and why the technology is becoming less about replacement and more about expanding creative possibility. (Recorded in the John Lennon Educational Tour Bus). Jun Usui from Yamaha demos a prototype that integrates Boomy's AI sample generation directly into Yamaha's Seqtrak hardware, showing a glimpse into a future where AI lives in your instruments, not just the cloud.   The news US TikTok App Uninstalls Jump 150% Following Transfer to US Ownership TikTok users in the US can't write 'Epstein' or see anti-Trump videos Social network UpScrolled sees surge in downloads following TikTok's US takeover | TechCrunch Report: music is now a third of all viewing time on YouTube Stationhead and Mellomanic Merge, UMG Invests In 'Ultimate' Direct-to-Fan Platform Native Instruments GmbH is in preliminary insolvency - CDM Create Digital Music   The Music Tectonics podcast goes beneath the surface of the music industry to explore how technology is changing the way business gets done.

Whether she's touring with Y La Bamba or scoring live stories for WNYC's Snap Judgment, Geneva Harrison is the kind of artist who breathes life into her work. She's a world-class percussionist and producer, and a total student of how music connects.I loved her takes on the "elasticity" of rhythm. It's steady and unsteady. Like a heartbeat. Human and tied to the environment. The culture. We sat down to talk about her deep dive into Brazilian music, what she's learned from years of touring, and collaborating with everyone from dancers to poets.For 30% off your first year of DistroKid to share your music with the world click ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠DistroKid.com/vip/lovemusicmore⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

In the first of this five-part season we trace Katharine's early years as she picks up European languages, her early scientific education at a progressive New York school for girls and then Bryn Mawr, a women's college. She seems destined to end up working at the General Electric Company's industrial research lab, but first she must prove herself at the University of Chicago, where, in the middle of World War I, she works to improve the life-saving gas mask.  Learn about your ad choices: dovetail.prx.org/ad-choices

Once survival is secured, a different question emerges: what is life for? In this episode of Context, we trace three enduring sources of human purpose—endurance, exploration, and understanding—through three excellent books: The Wager, Undaunted Courage, and A Short History of Nearly Everything. From shipwrecked sailors struggling to preserve dignity, to Lewis and Clark crossing an unmapped continent, to scientists devoting their entire lives to understanding how the universe works, we'll consider how human beings have sought more than mere comfort. The result is a long-view reflection on what intelligence is for. And why, in the age of artificial intelligence, remembering these layers of meaning may matter more than ever.
