Podcasts about leader

We've been conditioned to believe that saying less is safer. But playing it safe costs trust, influence, stronger negotiations, and deeper relationships because the line between “too much” and meaningful connection is further out than we think. In the latest episode of Habits & Hustle, I'm joined by author Leslie John to break down the exact tipping point where leader vulnerability backfires, why holding your cards close in negotiation weakens your leverage, and how pushing slightly past your comfort zone builds real authority. Leslie John is the James E. Burke Professor of Business Administration at Harvard Business School and author of Revealing: The Underrated Power of Oversharing. Her award-winning research appears in top academic journals and media including The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, and The Economist. What's Discussed (04:00) Why oversharing feels risky but builds stronger relationships and influence (06:31) The difference between emotional dumping and strategic vulnerability (18:23) Disclosure flexibility and knowing when to reveal versus hold back (20:55) Why long term relationships erode when partners stop sharing (27:15) How strategic transparency increases trust and customer retention (28:50) The most common negotiation mistake: leading with concealment (34:03) Leader vulnerability and the tipping point where credibility drops (41:01) Authenticity versus impulse and why emotional intelligence matters Thank you to our sponsors: Rho Nutrition: Try Rho Nutrition today and experience the difference of Liposomal Technology.

As AI accelerates, many leadership conversations focus on tools, efficiency, and productivity. This episode of Partnering Leadership takes a different approach. Host Mahan Tavakoli is joined by Andrea Iorio, a global AI thought leader, former senior executive at Tinder and L'Oréal, and the author of Between You and AI.Andrea brings a rare combination of global operating experience, deep technology fluency, and philosophical clarity to the conversation. Rather than asking how leaders can use AI better, he challenges a more uncomfortable question: what still belongs uniquely to human leadership when machines increasingly outperform us at speed, scale, and analysis.Throughout the discussion, Andrea and Mahan explore why AI is not “coming for jobs,” but for tasks, and how that distinction changes the leadership equation. They examine the risks leaders face when productivity gains mask a deeper erosion of judgment, accountability, and strategic clarity. The conversation surfaces how easy it is for leaders to outsource responsibility to systems that feel objective, confident, and precise.The episode also confronts the hidden consequences of hyper-optimization. While AI can dramatically increase control and efficiency, Andrea argues that leaders must decide where judgment, agency, and human responsibility still matter most. From decision-making and talent development to trust, empathy, and innovation, the discussion highlights the leadership work that cannot be automated without cost.This is a thoughtful, grounded conversation for leaders who sense that AI is reshaping not just work, but the very nature of leadership itself—and who want to stay accountable, relevant, and human in the process.Actionable TakeawaysYou'll learn why AI is changing leadership less by replacing people and more by redefining which tasks still require human judgment.Hear how relying on AI for productivity can quietly reduce differentiation when everyone has access to the same tools.Discover why leadership accountability cannot be delegated, even when decisions are automated.You'll hear how past success can become a liability when leaders stop questioning assumptions that once worked.Learn why AI literacy is not technical mastery, but understanding where data, questions, and outputs can mislead.Hear how hyper-optimization can narrow what organizations notice and weaken learning over time.Understand why the “human-in-the-loop” is about responsibility, not distrust of technology.Explore how leaders can use time saved through automation to strengthen judgment rather than accelerate busywork.Learn what thriving organizations do differently as they design hybrid teams of humans and intelligent systems.Connect with Andrea IorioAndrea Iorio WebsiteAndrea Iorio LinkedInBetween You and AI: Unlock the Power of Human Skills to Thrive in an AI-Driven WorldConnect with Mahan Tavakoli: Mahan Tavakoli Website Mahan Tavakoli on LinkedIn Partnering Leadership Website

How do you build enterprise software for the companies that keep the world turning, while also building a leadership culture where people can actually thrive? In this episode of Tech Talks Daily, I spoke with Kerrie Jordan, Group VP of Product Management at Epicor, about her journey from studying literature to helping shape cloud ERP strategy at a global software company serving more than 20,000 customers worldwide. Kerrie's story is a reminder that there is no single path into technology leadership. Sometimes the foundations are laid in unexpected places, through storytelling, creativity, and a deep curiosity about people. Kerrie shares how her early career in product lifecycle management opened her eyes to the human side of software. Interviewing customers and writing case studies showed her that behind every system implementation is a personal story, a career milestone, or a business trying to survive and grow. That perspective still shapes how she approaches product and marketing today at Epicor, a company recently recognized as a Leader in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for Cloud ERP for Product-Centric Enterprises for the third consecutive year. But this conversation goes far beyond market recognition. We talk openly about burnout, resilience, and the reality of leading through pressure. Kerrie reflects on the importance of protecting time, creating space to reconnect, and building a culture where empathy is practiced, not just discussed. Her view of leadership is grounded in communication, psychological safety, and being tough on problems rather than people. Mentorship is another thread running throughout our discussion. Kerrie explains why powerful mentorship is not passive. It requires vulnerability, preparation, and a willingness to hear difficult advice. A single phrase from a mentor early in her career, "stick-to-itiveness," continues to shape how she approaches hard problems today. We also explore the future of women in manufacturing and technology. Kerrie highlights the need for intentional change across education, early career development, and leadership visibility. She believes technology, particularly AI, can expand access, enable upskilling, and introduce flexibility that supports long-term career growth. At the same time, she makes a simple but powerful point. Women in tech want the same thing as anyone else: the space and autonomy to do their jobs well. From customer co-innovation and community-driven product roadmaps to inclusive leadership under commercial pressure, this episode offers a candid look at what it really takes to lead in enterprise technology today. If you are building products, leading teams, or questioning your own next career step, I think you will find something in Kerrie's story that resonates.

It's Tuesday, February 24th, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Kevin Swanson and Timothy Reed Early Rain Covenant Church Hit Again China Aid reports of more communist persecution of the Early Rain Covenant Church in Chengdu, China.   Pastor Wang Yi is entering his seventh year in prison -- of a nine-year sentence.   But now, elder Li Yingqiang and his wife have been arrested for their commitment to Christ. His wife was released on bail, and encouraged friends on social media that “God's arrangements are always good.” Multiple churches in North America, and an organization in Australia, have designated the ninth of each month as a “Day of Fasting and Prayer for the Persecuted Church in China.”  Mexican National Guardsmen killed the most wanted cartel leader in the country Mexico is in turmoil this week, after Mexican National Guardsmen killed the most wanted cartel leader in the country, Nemesio Cervantes, a criminal known as “El Mencho.” So far, 34 drug cartel members are dead. Sadly, another 25 federal troops were killed in the ongoing conflict. European immigration numbers down Immigration numbers have dropped sharply in Europe. Britain records only 200,000 immigrants in 2025, down from 900,000 in 2023.  Eurostat's Migration and Asylum report indicates a 13% drop in asylum applicants to European Union countries in 2024. That's the first drop since 2020.  And October 2025 numbers indicate a 28% drop compared with October 2024. European Parliament refused to affirm only women can get pregnant The Parliament of the European Union voted 340-141 to artificially redefine the definition of what a woman is. The Parliament also refused to affirm the biological fact “that only women can become pregnant.” German Parliament member Tomasz Froelich blasted the new guidance. He said, “This isn't about courtesy or pronouns. It's about law, language, and the destruction of biological clarity in public policy.” The new law opens the continent up to “the full recognition of trans women as women,” directly opposing God's created gender roles. In Matthew 19:4, Jesus asked, “Have you not read, that He which made them at the beginning made them male and female?” Reform UK lacked traction; Will Restore Britain thrive? As The Worldview reported on February 19th, Britain has a new populist political party called the Restore Britain party. The previous nationalist party, Reform UK, gained 14% of the vote in the 2024 election, but only holds eight seats which is a little over 1% of the seats in parliament. Back in 2002, the UK populist parties had only 2% of the national vote. More debt and more inflation for the U.S. In President Donald Trump's first year in office in his second term, the US Debt to Gross Domestic Product ratio spiked to 122%. That's the highest since Joe Biden's first year in office during the COVID spend-a-thon.   Today's U.S. federal debt stands at $38.7 trillion — exactly double what it was 10 years ago during the first Trump term, and quadruple the size of the debt 18 years ago during the 2008 recession.   Also in economic news, despite all the political noise and hand waving coming out of Washington, inflation is up in the U.S. The core Personal Consumption Expenditures inflation index is up to 3% — back up to where it was two years ago.   The GDP inflator reached 3.7%, the worst it's been in three years. And yet, the average 30-year mortgage rate has dropped to 6%, That's the lowest it's been in two and a half years. Deuteronomy 15:6 ties in here. It says, “For the LORD your God will bless you just as He promised you; you shall lend to many nations, but you shall not borrow; you shall reign over many nations, but they shall not reign over you.” Kansas legislature overturns veto on transgender Law KANSAS LEADER: “The motion prevails and the bill passes.” (Gavel comes down) And with that announcement, the Kansas Legislature, dominated by Republicans, voted to overturn Democratic Governor Laura Kelly's veto on a bill that banned men, including men pretending to be women, from entering women's spaces. The Kansas House voted 87-37 and the Kansas Senate voted 31-9 to overturn the veto.  Republican Kansas State Senator Virgil Peck, Jr. spoke from the Senate floor. PECK: “I'm amazed that we're not hearing from more of those who are, if you will, feminists standing up for young ladies.” The bill allows for criminal charges to be brought against biological men who intrude on women's bathrooms and locker rooms, and holds to the birth gender or biological definition of male and female. 118,000 applications submitted for tax-funded school vouchers Texas parents have submitted 118,000 applications since Texas Freedom Education Accounts opened up on February 4th. The Houston public school district is looking at closing down 12 of its schools for the next school year, reports The Chronicle. The Texas Homeschool Coalition estimates there are 500,000 homeschooled students in the state. Add to that 422,000 children enrolled in Texas charter schools, and another 279,000 children enrolled in Texas private schools. That adds up to 1,200,000 Texas students not attending public school, representing 21% of school-aged children in Texas. Study reveals cancer linked to COVID-19 shot A new scientific study has linked the rise in certain types of cancer to the mRNA COVID-19 shots.  The study, published by Oncotarget, marks the spike in cancers, including highly aggressive cancers, in correspondence with certain lipid nanoparticles that were in the COVID vaccines.  The study evidenced that the modRNA in the COVID shot, along with the lipid nanoparticles, could “affect various tissues and organs, including the bone marrow and other blood-forming organs.”  The study also found a link between rising mortalities worldwide and the rollout of the COVID shot. In one Italian province, for example, “vaccination was associated with a 23% increased risk of cancer hospitalization after receiving one or more doses.”  U.S. Men's Hockey team wins gold in overtime And finally … (Audio of Olympic theme song) Norway has captured the highest number of gold medals in the 2026 Winter Olympics this year — taking home 18 medals (so far). The United States comes in second with 12 golds. That's a record for America — this time including a top medal for the Men's and Women's Hockey competition.   The U.S. Men's Hockey Team won the gold medal for the first time in 46 years in a 2-1 overtime win on the final golden goal knocked in by Jack Hughes, who played center. Listen. ANNOUNCER: “Jack Hughes wins it. The golden goal for the United States. For the first time since the 1980 Miracle, the United States takes the gold.” Jack will be remembered for having taken a high stick and losing multiple teeth before scoring the winning goal.

Extra print stories Elderly farmer refuses to sell farm to data company 86-year-old farmer Mervin Raudabaugh refused to sell his Pennsylvania farm to data company developers, even though his farm was valued at over $15 million. Raudabaugh has lived in Silver Springs Township in Cumberland County and been a farmer for more than 60 years. He exclaimed, “I was not interested in destroying my farms. That was the bottom line. It really wasn't so much the economic end of it. I just didn't want to see these two farms destroyed.”  Raudabaugh instead sold his property for a much lower price to the Silver Springs Township's Land Preservation Program, which protects farmland, woodland, and wetlands. He explained, “I love this land. It's been my life. And I realized… if it wasn't built on or dug up, another set of families could live here—and that's what I wanted to do. And I got it done.” Micah 4:4 promises, “But they shall sit every man under his vine and under his fig tree; and none shall make them afraid: for the mouth of the LORD of hosts hath spoken it.” 10 major British cities have Muslim mayors 46 million Muslims now live in Europe, as migrants from third world countries continue overwhelming the European system.  Muslims are taking over political offices in European nations, including in the United Kingdom, where 10 major cities now have Muslim mayors. The massive influx in illegal immigration to Europe, while condemned and hated by its people, is being celebrated by its leaders. Newsmax reports, “They've chosen to stand with radical Muslims over their own people. It's because of all of these reasons these countries are falling apart and failing as the attack on Western civilization continues.” Muslim infiltration has also reached the United States, evidenced by Muslim influence in states like Texas and Minnesota. Chase Bank admits to debanking Trump JPMorgan Bank has admitted to freezing President Donald Trump's bank account following the January 6, 2021 protests. Trump had sued the bank for $5 billion in damages. The admission came after JPMorgan initially dodged the question of whether it debanked the President, and is yet another confirmation that conservatives were in fact targeted and persecuted under the Biden administration.  CNBC reported, “This is not the first lawsuit Trump has filed against a big bank, alleging that he was debanked. The Trump Organization sued credit card giant Capital One in March 2025 for similar reasons and allegations.” However, some have pointed out that the Trump administration is working towards digital currencies, which run a large risk of being controlled.

2026-02-23 | UPDATES #139 | March 2014. Moscow.

Most people can name a great coach or leader. Far fewer can explain what actually makes one. In this episode, Brett breaks down what separates truly elite coaches and leaders from everyone else—and it's not what most people expect. From the role of self-awareness to the uncomfortable truth about dark triad personalities who win, Brett challenges the romanticized version of coaching and replaces it with a more honest, battle-tested one. If you work with people in any capacity—athletes, executives, teams—this episode will sharpen how you see the craft and yourself.   What You'll Learn:   ∙ The specific traits that separate elite coaches from effective ones   ∙ Why measuring success by wins alone misses the full picture   ∙ Common arguments people make to defend toxic coaching—and why they fall short   ∙ How self-awareness directly impacts a coach's ceiling and longevity   ____________________     Follow Us: Website: ArtofCoaching.com Instagram: @coach_brettb X: @coach_brettb

The Mexican government, with intelligence provided by the United States, conducted a mission that led to the death of Nemesio Rubén Oseguera Cervantes, known as "El Mencho," and was the leader of the Jalisco New Generation cartel. The cartel responded by launching violent attacks across the country, setting up roadblocks and setting vehicles on fire.

You made the right call. So why are you still rehearsing it three days later? If you're replaying sound decisions, pressure-testing them after the meeting ends, or quietly reopening threads you already closed, this episode is for you. This isn't hesitation before the decision. It's something deeper — and it's costing you more energy than you realize. What You'll Hear Why decisiveness isn't your real issue The difference between deciding and releasing How outdated protection creates decision drag Why your operating system may still be running on “prove yourself” mode Leadership Pattern to Notice When a decision doesn't settle, it keeps running in the background. You're not panicking. You're not spiraling. You're carrying it. That's not lack of skill. It's an operating system still scanning for threats in a season where you no longer need to prove yourself. Leadership Noticing This week, notice: Where you replay decisions after they're made Where you gather reassurance you don't actually need Where you reopen something that was already settled No fixing. Just noticing whether the decision truly landed. Concepts Introduced Decision drag, leadership operating systems, outdated protection patterns, internal reputation management, and the difference between decisiveness and release are explored throughout this episode. What's Coming Next This conversation continues as we go deeper into decision drag — how to diagnose it, what your operating system may be protecting, and how leaders recalibrate without losing strength or authority. Something I Don't Want You to Miss The problem isn't how you decide. It's why something inside you won't let the decision stay decided. That tension isn't weakness. It's outdated protection. When your operating system upgrades, decisions hold — and leadership feels lighter not because the stakes are lower, but because the internal debate is quieter. If this is resonating, that's the work we begin inside an Aligned Leadership Audit tamimariecoaching.com/call . Enjoyed the Episode?

In this episode of I Am Refocused Radio, Shemaiah Reed sits down with Amy Weber, a seasoned sales leader, entrepreneur, and founder of Vetta Insights. From blue-collar beginnings as the youngest of five, to leading high-performing teams across global tech and healthcare, Amy's story is a masterclass in vision, discipline, and building your life with intention.Amy breaks down how early leadership influence, relentless learning, and the right mentors shaped her confidence and career trajectory. She shares the pivotal advice that changed everything: law and sales are the same game, you're either selling a product or selling a story and why believing in the “story” matters more than chasing titles.This conversation goes deeper than resumes. Amy explains why most companies struggle because they put the wrong people in the wrong roles, how psychometric assessments reveal how you're actually wired (not just how you see yourself), and why real growth comes from aligning your gifts with the right environment.You'll also hear a grounded take on modern success culture: the obsession with numbers, followers, and validation, versus the real value of relationships, authenticity, and being the kind of leader people want to work with across decades.vettainsights.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/i-am-refocused-radio--2671113/support.Subscribe now at YouTube.com/@RefocusedNetworkThank you for your time.

What makes people truly want to follow a leader — not out of obligation, but out of trust and belief? In this episode of Called to Flourish, Jim Brown, Founder of OrgHealth and leadership coach, challenges the myth of perfect leadership and shares why authenticity, humility, and curiosity are the real foundations of influence. Drawing from decades of coaching executives and leadership teams, Jim explains how trust deepens when leaders stop pretending, invite honest conversation, and prioritize people over image. This conversation offers practical wisdom for leaders who want to build cultures where trust grows and leadership becomes worth following. You'll gain insight on: • Why "perfect leadership" undermines trust • How vulnerability and authenticity strengthen influence • Why great leaders ask better questions instead of having all the answers • How healthy culture multiplies organizational performance

The leader of one of Mexico's fastest-growing criminal networks has been killed. AP correspondent Marcela Sanchez has more.

U.S. and Canadian airlines halted flights to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico after violence broke out in the country after the Mexican army’s killing of a cartel leader. The U.S. State Department told U.S. citizens to shelter in place, citing “ongoing security operations and related road blockages and criminal activity.” North Dakotan, Julie Mauch, is stuck there with her husband amid the turmoil, and joins Joel to speak to the situation.

Think you're just “not a people person”? Most tech leaders quietly believe this about themselves, and it's exactly what's holding them back.In this episode, Martijn Versteeg, founder of peer leadership community Group Effort and former CPTO with a background in organizational psychology, makes the case that it's not: human behavior follows predictable patterns you can understand and work with, just like any system. The conversation covers a six-variable model for understanding what drives behavior and disengagement on your team, why popular personality tools like MBTI and DiSC often do more harm than good, and a clear structure for delivering bad news without the usual stress buildup. We also get into what it really takes to let go of hands-on coding when you move into leadership, why developing a product mindset matters even if product isn't in your title, and the psychological risks of heavy AI use that most teams still aren't thinking about.Key topics discussed:The 6 human needs that predict human behaviorWhy MBTI and DiSC often do more harm than goodHow to stop avoiding difficult conversationsDeliver bad news clearly using a 10-second ruleWhy becoming a bottleneck is a slow career killerBuilding a product mindset when you're in techThe mental health risks of heavy AI useWhat peer groups give you that books can'tTimestamps:(00:00:00) Trailer & Intro(00:03:06) Why Small Steps Matter More Than Career Turning Points(00:05:11) About Martijn Versteeg(00:07:01) How Can I Learn People Skills Systematically?(00:13:19) Six Human Needs That Predict Behavior(00:17:28) How Does It Compare to Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs?(00:19:49) Why Are Personality Tests Like MBTI Unreliable?(00:23:20) How Do I Use Pain and Pleasure to Drive Growth?(00:28:30) How Do I Handle Conflict and Difficult Conversations?(00:32:47) A Model for Delivering Bad News in 10 Seconds(00:36:12) How Do I Transition from Tech Lead to Engineering Leader?(00:41:12) How Do I Let Go of Coding as a Leader?(00:42:49) The Vanilla Orchid Story: Why Leaders Must Let Go(00:46:55) How Can Engineers Develop a Product Mindset?(00:53:17) What Are the Hidden Risks of AI for Mental Health?(01:02:19) What Is the Value of Learning Through Podcast Conversations?(01:07:19) Why Consuming Knowledge Is Not the Same as Producing(01:09:06) 3 Tech Lead Wisdom_____Martijn Versteeg's BioMartijn Versteeg is the founder of Group Effort, a Netherlands-based collective that empowers tech and product leaders across Europe through peer groups, offsites, and specialized training. As a key figure in the global product community, he is also an organizer of the Product Mastery Conference, where he helps curate insights for the next generation of product leaders.Before founding Group Effort, Martijn built and successfully sold an EdTech IT platform and spent over five years as an Agile coach and Scrum Master. His unique perspective on leadership is rooted in high-performance athletics; at just 22 years old, he served as the National Rowing Coach for Singapore.Today, Martijn is a vocal advocate for community-led learning. He frequently challenges leaders to move past the search for “golden nuggets” of wisdom and instead focus on the consistent, incremental iterations that solve the “hard people stuff” in scaling organizations.Follow Martijn:LinkedIn – linkedin.com/in/versteegGroup Effort – groupeffort.nlNewsletter – groupeffort.nl/newsletterFree training on Massive Action-Taking for Product Leaders – groupeffort.nl/actionLike this episode?Show notes & transcript: techleadjournal.dev/episodes/248.Follow @techleadjournal on LinkedIn, Twitter, and Instagram.Buy me a coffee or become a patron.

Dr. Jonathan Friedberg explains the eight-year journey, the 1,400-page applications, and why this achievement positions our region as a leader in cancer research and treatment.

The Government has launched a public consultation on a new permanent disability support payment, aimed at addressing the extra, everyday costs faced by disabled people. It follows years of debate — from the 2021 Indecon report which estimated additional annual disability-related costs of up to €12,000, to the scrapping of the controversial Green Paper reforms in 2024 after widespread backlash. Social Protection Minister Dara Calleary says this consultation will ensure disabled people's voices are central to shaping the new payment, with submissions open until April 7th. But against a backdrop of rising living costs and fresh protests over recent payment cuts — with some households said to be €1,400 worse off — questions remain about what meaningful support will actually look like. Alan Morrissey was speaking about this with Michael Meere of Clare Leader Forum on Monday's Morning Focus. Photo (c) thodonal from Getty Images via Canva.com

Kemi Badenoch is the Conservative MP for North West Essex and the Leader of the Opposition. Since winning her seat in 2017, she has held cabinet positions as Minister of State for Equalities under Boris Johnson and Secretary of State for International Trade under Liz Truss and Rishi Sunak. She became leader of the Conservative Party in 2024 after Rishi Sunak's resignation and is the first black person to lead a political party in Britain. Her Nigerian parents came to Britain for medical treatment and Kemi was born in a private hospital in Wimbledon in January 1980. Her parents returned with their newborn daughter, and she was brought up in Nigeria in an affluent suburb of Lagos. After a series of military coups and economic downturns, her family, along with many other middle-class families in Nigeria saw their wealth decline and Kemi was sent to London to study for her A levels.Instead of following her parents into medicine, she chose to pursue Computer Systems Engineering and went to Sussex University. A well-paid career in IT followed and she joined the Conservative Party aged twenty-five where she also met her husband, Hamish. Her first attempt at becoming an MP was in 2010 in Dame Tessa Jowell's former constituency of Dulwich and West Norwood constituency in London. She finished third behind the Labour and Liberal Democrat candidates.In 2017, she was selected for the Saffron Walden seat and became an MP.She lives in London with her husband and three children and divides her time between Westminster and her constituency of North West Essex.DISC ONE: The Story of Tonight - Lin-Manuel Miranda, Okieriete Onaodowan, Daveed Diggs, Original Broadway Cast of Hamilton DISC TWO: Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough - Michael Jackson DISC THREE: Wonderful World - Sam Cooke DISC FOUR: Be Still - Aled Jones and English Session Orchestra DISC FIVE: Everybody's Free (To Wear Sunscreen) - Baz Luhrmann DISC SIX: Love is All Around - Wet Wet Wet DISC SEVEN: Carry You Home – Alex Warren DISC EIGHT: Dear Theodosia - Leslie Odom Jr., Lin-Manuel Miranda BOOK CHOICE: Vanity Fair by William Makepeace Thackeray LUXURY ITEM: The Marvel Movie Collection with a solar-powered DVD player CASTAWAY'S FAVOURITE: Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough - Michael Jackson Presenter: Lauren Laverne Producer: Sarah TaylorDesert Island Discs has cast many politicians away to the island over the years including Sir Keir Starmer, Nicola Sturgeon, Sir Vince Cable, Theresa May, Ed Miliband, Boris Johnson and Margaret Thatcher.

The Mormon Church has made a move that's raising questions about where it's headed next. President Dallin H. Oaks has appointed Clark Gilbert as the newest apostle, a relatively young (at 55 years old!) leader known for his firm orthodoxy and culture-war posture within church education. For many within the church and without, it feels like a signal about the future direction of the institution, particularly on LGBTQ issues and internal dissent. We also examine Alabama's proposal to make disrupting a church service a felony punishable by up to ten years in prison, Oklahoma's latest attempt to establish a publicly funded religious charter school, and a lawsuit challenging Trump's Religious Liberty Commission. Plus: a controversial plea deal involving a former prison chaplain, and a Christian university "merger" that ended with faculty fired and assets absorbed.

Former Osage Principal Chief Jim Gray is remembered as a leader who laid the foundation for a modern, self-governing tribal structure while also reconnecting the tribe with its cultural roots. Among his many accomplishments as a transformative leader, Jim Gray spearheaded the historic reform of Osage government in 2004. That secured the individual right to vote for each Osage citizen rather than headright ownership and restored the Nation's sovereign status. During his time as principal chief, the Nation also successfully negotiated a landmark $380 million settlement with the U.S. government — at the time the largest of its kind — addressing decades of tribal trust fund mismanagement. All the while, he remained a determined advocate for cultural and language revitalization. Gray walked on this month. We'll hear from his family and friends about his legacy. We’ll also remember Black civil rights leader, Rev. Jesse Jackson, who died this week at the age of 84. Jackson championed various Native causes throughout his career including opposition to nuclear waste dumping on tribal lands and support for the Dakota Access Pipeline protests.

What does it take to create a $100K consulting offer for corporate clients? Let's once and for all move on from trading time for dollars. In this episode, Jessica Fearnley and I talk about what it truly takes to structure a high-value $100K consulting offer for corporate clients, without overcomplicating your services or building a massive team or charging an hourly rate.But this conversation goes beyond pricing.We talk about what happens after you leave corporate, recover from burnout, and rebuild your confidence. We unpack the emotional and strategic transition many experienced women consultants face when they hit six figures and begin asking what's next.Jessica shares how she moved from project management into building a multi-six-figure B2B consulting business rooted in high-value advisory retainers. We explore:What a $100K advisory retainer actually includesHow to package your consulting services inside the budgets corporate already invests inWhy trying to “educate” buyers slows down the saleThe recovery phase after corporate trauma, and why many women underprice themselves during itHow to position yourself as a trusted strategic advisor instead of a service providerWhy “the more they pay, the less they get” can be true at premium levelsIf you want to move from hourly work or project-based consulting into high-value B2B advisory retainers, this episode gives you both the strategic framework and the mindset shift required to do it.This is about packaging expertise, reclaiming authority, and building a consulting business that aligns with your life, not just your revenue goals.Chapters:00:56

Most women assume advisors outperform because they're “experts.” The data inside real portfolios tells a very different story. In this episode, I take you behind the scenes of reviewing real client portfolios - many advisor-managed, ranging from $30K to over $3M, and show you exactly what's working, what's quietly draining wealth, and why it's not only possible, but easy, for women to outperform advisors without a finance degree or prior investing experience.Tune in to learn: Why it's possible to outperform an advisor even if you've never invested on your own The real returns inside advisor-managed portfolios  and how they compare to the market The one critical thing advisor-managed portfolios are missing Why advisor portfolios are designed for complexity, not returns How fees and underperformance compound into millions lost over time

We've been conditioned to view being single as a 'waiting room'—a temporary, slightly awkward space you're just trying to pass through until the 'real' part of your life begins. But what if that's a lie? What if this isn't a delay, but an intentional season and space to steward? In this episode of The Leader's Cut, Preston Morrison & Tim Ross gets incredibly honest about the obsession with relationship status. We're moving past the usual platitudes to talk about what it looks like to be a whole, functioning human being—with or without a partner. This conversation covers: The "Missing Piece" Myth: Why a relationship isn't a magic fix for your problems or your personality. Maxing Out Your Freedom: How to actually use the time, energy, and headspace you have right now instead of wasting it on "what ifs." Dealing with the Noise: Practical ways to handle the pressure from family, friends, and social media that makes you feel like you're "behind." Ownership: Taking responsibility for your own happiness and growth today, rather than putting it on a future person. This isn't a guide on how to get a date, it's a reality check for anyone who feels like they're stuck in "pause" mode. It's time to stop looking at the door and start living in the room you're currently in.

If you keep procrastinating, strategy hopping, overcomplicating, or pulling back right when things start working, it's easy to default to self judgement.

You are a human seeking safety.In this episode, I unpack the process of translating all the internal healing work you've been doing into real behavioral change that moves you forward.You'll discover: The 4 step rewiring process to break free of these “self sabotage” patterns.When to do the “practical work” and when to do the “deeper inner work”.
