From Washington, D.C. to the Brooklyn waterfront, Lindsay Green shares how a career in finance evolved into a mission to transform industrial spaces into engines of opportunity for underserved communities.Lindsay Green is the President and CEO of the Brooklyn Navy Yard, where she leads one of New York City's most ambitious models for inclusive economic development. With more than 550 businesses and 11,000 employees on site, the Navy Yard is not simply a real estate portfolio but a living ecosystem designed to create quality jobs and connect local residents to meaningful careers. Her work blends business strategy, workforce development, and community engagement into a powerful example of how cities can rethink the purpose of former industrial spaces.Her journey began in Washington, D.C., where daily exposure to economic disparities shaped her desire to work at the intersection of business and community impact. After studying economics at Harvard and starting her career in investment banking at Goldman Sachs, she discovered urban development through the Urban Investment Group under Alicia Glen. Mentorship from leaders like Glen and MIT professor Phil Thompson helped her shift from traditional finance to mission driven economic development. A detour into the food industry after Yale School of Management eventually led her back to this work, culminating in her leadership at the Navy Yard in 2022.Lindsay explains how the Brooklyn Navy Yard goes beyond affordable real estate to support small, women owned, and minority owned businesses with mentorship, capital access, and technical advisory services. She highlights the Brooklyn STEAM Center, a public high school that gives 600 students hands on training with industry grade equipment, as well as new adult reskilling programs that recognize the value of both digital and analog problem solving. Through initiatives like the Micro Business Accelerator Program, she is building pathways for entrepreneurs to start small, grow, and scale within a supportive ecosystem.This conversation explores leadership, economic mobility, and the importance of early exposure to career possibilities. Lindsay's work demonstrates that revitalizing industrial spaces can do more than preserve history. It can create futures. Tune in to hear how thoughtful economic development can reshape communities and expand opportunity for the next generation.Chapters:00:00

Recorded live at the NRF Big Show in the Narvar podcast studio, Michael LeBlanc sits down with Rachel J. Calhoun, Global Leader, Retail, Consumer Goods & Travel at Kyndryl, for a fast-paced and insight-rich conversation on the future of retail technology, AI integration, and enterprise transformation.Rachel shares Kyndryl's evolution since spinning off from IBM, moving beyond managed infrastructure into advisory, consulting, AI integration, and mission-critical systems modernization. With over 80,000 employees globally and deep roots in retail, airlines, and banking, Kyndryl is helping retailers close what Rachel calls the “adaptation gap” — the widening divide between consumer expectations and retailers' ability to integrate emerging technologies into legacy systems.A central theme of the episode is the shift from project-based IT transformation to an always-on, agile operating model. Rachel explains that retailers can no longer treat digital modernization as a three-year refresh cycle. Instead, AI, data integration, and real-time systems must evolve continuously to drive customer experience, dynamic pricing, retail media growth, inventory optimization, and supply chain resilience.The conversation dives deep into AI's real-world impact. While some economists question AI-driven productivity gains, Rachel points to measurable improvements: reduced stockouts, improved inventory visibility, faster commerce re-platforming, and agentic AI use cases moving from pilot to production. She emphasizes that the real unlock isn't just technology — it's organizational change management. Retailers must integrate people, process, and platform simultaneously to see ROI.Michael and Rachel also discuss RFID adoption, visual AI in grocery and loss prevention, 5G infrastructure constraints across store fleets, and the growing board-level urgency around AI investment prioritization. Rachel outlines Kyndryl's “show versus tell” consulting model, where forward-deployed engineers demonstrate live code modernization and AI activation in real time, shifting commercial models toward shared-value, outcome-based engagements.The episode concludes with Rachel's bold outlook on AI in retail. On a scale of 1–10, she ranks her optimism at a 9, citing firsthand evidence of agentic commerce, conversational commerce, and real-time system integration driving tangible business outcomes.For Canadian retailers navigating market disruption, store fleet transitions, and accelerating digital expectations, this episode offers both strategic clarity and operational guidance.

What does it take to become an Icon in finance? In this compelling episode, Heather Cole, Executive Coach and Business Analytics Advisor at Lodestar Solutions, interviews Judy Wright, CFO of BTM Global Consulting, LLC, FEI Board Member, and incoming 2026 President of FEI Twin Cities. Judy's journey is anything but conventional. Early in her career, she quit her job to test her resilience—borrowing inventory from her father and becoming a street vendor in China. Carrying merchandise by bus, negotiating for market space, and building a wholesale network from scratch, she proved to herself that she could survive—and thrive—under pressure. Today, she brings that same entrepreneurial instinct and composure to the CFO role at a global IT consulting firm. In this episode, Judy shares: Why being an “Icon” means paying it forward and mentoring the next generation of financial leaders The real ROI of networking—and why waiting until you need a job is too late Why finance professionals must develop emotional intelligence to lead effectively How to stay calm when everyone else is panicking (“If finance loses its cool, everyone does.”) The foundational skills future finance professionals must build in an AI-driven world The power of slowing down, finding purpose, and leading with intention Judy speaks openly about mentorship, faith, service, and the importance of personal development beyond the day job. Her message is clear: careers are built not just on technical skill, but on resilience, relationships, and the courage to lead with heart. This conversation is a must-listen for financial leaders who want to elevate their impact—professionally and personally.Special Guest: Judy Wright.

Senate Majority Leader John Thune, Republican Senator from South Dakota, joined us on the Guy Benson Show today to discuss the latest on the looming government shutdown and why Democrats remain holdouts on funding the Department of Homeland Security. Leader Thune said that the shutdown is purely for "political points" and that "[the Democrats] aren't serious about trying to solve this," evidenced by their refusal to pass a CR in order to extend negotiation periods. Leader Thune said that Democrats fully "own" this government shutdown, and Thune said the door is "shut" on trying to keep the government open. Leader Thune also discussed the latest on the SAVE America Act and the possibility of changing filibuster rules to pass the legislation, and you can listen to the full interview below!

Too often, we treat the "honeymoon phase" as the peak of our affection, only to let laziness, immaturity, and walls slowly dismantle the foundation of our most important relationship. In this episode of The Leader's Cut, we're breaking down the "Architecture of Affection." We explore the five toxic behaviors a loving relationship simply cannot tolerate and the five non-negotiables every couple must maintain to thrive. From shifting out of "roommate syndrome" to the power of mutual submission, this is a deep dive into building a marriage that doesn't just survive the years but gets stronger through them. In this episode, we discuss: The Killers of Intimacy: Why laziness, passive-aggressiveness, and manipulation are the "slow leaks" in a marriage. The Maturity Shift: How to stop thinking like a child and start using your words to affirm rather than attack. Walls vs. Safety: The danger of showing your body while hiding your heart, and how to earn (and offer) true trust. The Power of Submission: Redefining mutual submission as a military-grade strategy for covering each other's weaknesses. The Playfulness Dashboard: Why flirting, laughter, and trying new things are the indicators of a healthy relationship. Are you ready to take your marriage to the next level? Remember, it doesn't come cheap. The person you love the most should always cost you the most.

Stephanie Fortunato, speaks with Conrado Uribe about the power of networks to break cycles of isolation – and to make “collective imagination” a practical force in how cities evolve. Moving from Medellín to Barcelona to a Latin America-wide network of cultural districts, Conrado reflects on collaboration, governance, and why the real foundations of a district are its people, not its buildings.External references:Conexiones Creativas: Conrado's organisation, designing and delivering projects to strengthen cultural and creative ecosystems. Plataforma de Distritos Creativos y Culturales: The network platform Conrado describes, supporting exchanges across creative districts in the Americas and Europe. Campus Colombias: The convening format Conrado references as a catalyst moment in the organisation's early years. Museo de Antioquia: Museum at the centre of Conrado's Medellín experience and a key cultural anchor in the city. MDE – Encuentro Internacional de Arte de Medellín: The four-year international art encounter organised by Museo de Antioquia, referenced in the episode's Medellín context. LOOP Barcelona: The moving-image platform and festival Conrado mentions as a formative collaboration-led model. Yuval Noah Harari's Sapiens: The “humans succeed through collaboration” framing Conrado references via Harari's work. “Scenius, or Communal Genius” (Wired): A widely cited explainer of Brian Eno's idea of “scenius” that Conrado invokes (collective creativity over lone genius). About our guest:Conrado Uribe Pereira, is a curator and cultural strategist, and Content Director at Conexiones Creativas, the Colombia-founded platform behind a growing network of creative and cultural districts across Latin America and parts of Southern Europe.

There comes a moment in many leadership journeys when all the behaviors that once drove success—working harder, stepping in faster, proving competence—suddenly stop delivering the same results. You're still capable. Still committed. Still responsible. And yet, something feels off. In this episode, Janet explores that often-unspoken turning point and why it's not a failure, but a call to a deeper kind of leadership.This conversation is about the inner shift required as leaders move into higher levels of responsibility. Janet unpacks why leadership effectiveness evolves from visible execution to discernment, presence, and judgment, and how learning to pause, sense, and respond intentionally becomes a defining edge. This is an invitation to outgrow what no longer fits and lead from clarity instead of habit.In this episode:✅ Why working harder eventually stops being the answer✅ The invisible shift from execution to judgment at senior levels✅ How micromanagement often signals a deeper leadership transition✅ The power of pausing instead of reacting✅ Asking “What is needed here?” instead of “What should I do?”✅ The difference between habitual action and intentional response✅ How leadership presence deepens through discernment, not control✅ Why maturity in leadership often feels uncomfortable at firstAbout Janet Ioli:Janet Ioli is a globally recognized executive advisor, coach, and leadership expert with over 25 years of experience developing leaders in Fortune 100 companies and global organizations.She created The Inner Edge—a framework, a movement, and a message that flips leadership from mere success performance to presence; from ego to soul.

When organizations face crises, change, or uncertainty, many leaders feel pressure to withdraw, control the narrative, or pretend they have all the answers.Unfortunately, those behaviors often become the very trust breakers that damage teams and fuel fear.In this episode of Leading Through Crisis, Céline Williams sits down with leadership development expert and bestselling author Amy Riley to explore how leaders can build trust during uncertain times—even when they don't know what comes next. They discuss why transparency matters, how silence creates stories, and what it truly means to lead with connection instead of control.This conversation is essential for leaders, managers, and business owners navigating disruption, change, or high-pressure environments.

It's the episode you literally voted for, so this week democracy wins. We hesitantly got on peak dad-hero Harrison Ford's Air Force One (and he seemed a little grumpy about it, tbh.)It feels a lot like The Fugitive, but with more neck-snapping, and the delightfully unhinged Gary Oldman as a terrorist who somehow hijacks both the world's most secure aircraft and Joe's heart.Directed by submarine-and-storm enthusiast Wolfgang Petersen, this is Greg's ultimate “Die Hard on a blank” entry — a movie where the President of the United States personally handles hostage negotiations by punching them. (The Vice President, Glenn Close, does all the negotiations, obviously. Vice Presidents do that.)Is it ridiculous? Yes.Is it sincere? Also yes.Does it feature the Leader of the Free World growling “Get off my plane” before launching a man into open air? You bet your nuclear codes it does.Greg and Joe strap in, secure the escape pod, and learn a little something about themselves along the way.As with every episode, this is the love letter that needed to happen about this movie. Also: Drinking Games, Important Questions, Joe's Back of the Box, and more.If you'd like to advertise with us or sponsor us, please e-mail greatbadmoviesshow@gmail.comSubscribe to Great Bad Movies wherever you listen to podcastsMore Great Bad Movies online:InstagramGreat Bad Movies WebsiteYouTubeEmail us at greatbadmoviesshow@gmail.com Hosted on Acast.

Clive Chesser, chief executive of PureGym, says surviving cancer fundamentally changed him as a leader — deepening his empathy and reshaping how he approached life, including changing career..His diagnosis came during an extraordinarily difficult period in December 2021. While leading his then pub business through a complex private equity transaction, he was experiencing persistent breathlessness and fatigue he initially attributed to long COVID. After noticing swollen lymph nodes in his neck, members of his family — several of whom are senior doctors — urged him to undergo further tests. He completed them just before finalising the business deal.Christmas brought what he describes as an unimaginable sequence of events. On Christmas Day, his father-in-law died while his wife isolated at home with COVID. Shortly afterwards, Chesser received confirmation that he had cancer in his lymph nodes. The following day, he says, he faced the hardest moment of his life: telling his three teenage children he had cancer.At the time, Chesser was marathon-fit, training regularly and running annually. That physical condition proved critical during treatment. His fitness enabled him to tolerate more aggressive radiotherapy and additional chemotherapy rounds, improving his chances of full recovery — which he ultimately achieved. The experience, he says, transformed his sense of purpose and made his subsequent appointment as PureGym's chief executive feel profoundly aligned with his personal journey.That personal conviction underpins what he describes as a broader fitness revolution reshaping the UK gym industry. Nearly half — 47% — of PureGym's January 2025 joiners were aged 25 or under, reflecting what Chesser sees as a generational shift in attitudes to health. Younger members, particularly Gen Z and Gen Alpha, are integrating fitness into their social identity. Gyms are becoming social hubs, not simply places to exercise, where mental wellbeing and community sit alongside physical strength.He describes a trend he calls “fitness snacking” — members moving fluidly between gyms, boutique studios and fitness events before returning to a core membership. Despite this apparent transience, average tenure stands at 19 months and is rising. Most new joiners are returning members, a notable fact given PureGym's no-contract, month-to-month model, where members actively choose to stay.Women are driving another significant shift in the market, moving away from cardio-dominated routines towards strength and conditioning. In response, PureGym has introduced more than 50 women-only workout spaces across the UK after research showed many women prefer environments where they feel more comfortable and less exposed. These areas exist nationwide and sit alongside screened lighter-weight zones designed to reduce intimidation for first-time users. While the majority of PureGym's 456 UK sites remain mixed-gender spaces, Chesser argues that offering choice has been critical to growth and inclusion.Chesser also delivers a critique of the Labour government's economic performance, arguing it has failed to deliver the long-term growth strategy promised before taking office. He points to National Insurance rises and the continued burden of business rates on bricks-and-mortar operators — including gyms and pubs — while online businesses face comparatively lighter structural costs.He draws a stark comparison between government and business leadership, noting that the UK has had six Prime Ministers in ten years — instability he likens to running a football club rather than a company built on rolling five-year strategies and careful succession planning. In his view, the government remains trapped in short-term crisis management rather than long-term economic planning.Presenter: Sean Farrington Producer: Olie D'Albertanson Editor: Henry Jones00:00 Fliss and Sean intro pod 01:50 Clive joins BBI 03:30 Growth on Gen Z gym users 10:20 Women only spaces and safety 16:00 Low cost model 25:20 Govt's 10 Year Health Plan 28:40 Clive's cancer journey 39:15 Frustration at govt's growth promises

We just hit a major milestone—Episode 200 of the Fly on the Wall Podcast.And before I say anything else, I just want to say thank you.Whether you've listened to one episode or all 200… whether you've shared the podcast, sent it to a friend, or applied the leadership principles in your ministry—I'm genuinely grateful. This podcast exists to serve pastors like you, and it's because of your support that we've made it this far.Now, for Episode 200, we're tackling something that every leader feels—but not every leader knows how to address:Have you ever realized you're making leadership decisions based more on keeping people happy than moving the mission forward?If so—you're not alone.In Episode 200, I'm joined by my good friend Hannah for an honest coaching conversation about one of the most common leadership traps pastors face: people pleasing—and the anxiety that often comes with it.What I love about this session is Hannah's transparency. She shares how her people-pleasing tendencies have started shaping her leadership culture—especially as she's onboarding new leaders. And she asks a question every pastor needs to wrestle with:How do you overcome people pleasing and anxiety as a lead pastor… without losing your heart for people?In this episode, we cover:How people pleasing quietly controls your leadership decisionsWhy you'll never outlive this struggle—you can only outgrow itThe truth about identity: where it really comes from when nobody's watchingWhy “your vision is for sale” when people pleasing takes overHow to discern the source of criticism (and when not to receive it)Why busyness can create a false sense of productivity in your churchHow churches become “busy but not productive”—and what to do insteadThe In-N-Out principle: doing a few things exceptionally well instead of everything averageThe difference between task-driven ministry and leader-multiplying cultureWhy systems—not personality—are what sustain long-term growthThis one is packed with insight, conviction, and practical leadership clarity—especially if you're leading in a smaller church context where relationships, giving, and criticism can feel personal.

In the first Elevate episode of 2026, Ryan sits down with Ankit Sharma to talk about the mood shift they're both sensing in the sector: confidence is lifting, but the workload hasn't caught up yet. Ankit's message is clear. Don't wait for the upturn. Get proactive. Build your brand, sharpen your value proposition, strengthen your pipeline, and reconnect with past prospects so you're ready when demand returns.Ryan and Ankit also talk through what's changing on the regulatory front, including proportional liability and risk-based consenting, before cutting through the AI noise with three practical starting points: automating routine tasks, improving customer communication, and using data to support better decisions. The episode closes with a look ahead to Constructive 2026 (3 - 4 September, Aotea Centre, Auckland) and a personal story from Ankit on family-set goals that surface blind spots and make change more likely to stick.Useful linksConnect with Ankit Sharma on LinkedInSay No to Say Yes: The Key to Turning Ambition into ProgressSubscribe to Rethink 4.0 NewsletterWhere else you can find usWebsite: https://www.masterbuilder.org.nz/Elevate Platform: http://elevate.masterbuilder.org.nzInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/masterbuildernz/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/registeredmasterbuildersYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCmh_9vl0pFf0zSB6N7RrVeg

Dans cet épisode de Legend Ladies, je reçois Barbara Lavernos, Directrice Générale Adjointe du groupe L'Oréal.Barbara grandit dans un environnement empreint d'art et de culture mais après avoir hésité avec le conservatoire c'est vers des études d'ingénieure qu'elle s'orientera.Elle rejoint L'Oréal au début des années 90 et y construit un parcours aussi rare qu'atypique, fait de bascules successives, de prises de risques et d'exploration de terrains volontairement inconnus ou elle doit sans cesse réapprendre.Des achats aux usines, de l'industrie au commerce, des opérations à la tech, puis à la recherche et à l'innovation, Barbara accepte à plusieurs reprises de quitter le confort de l'expertise pour entrer dans l'exigence du leadership.Celui où l'on ne maîtrise pas tout.Celui où l'on apprend vite.Celui où la légitimité se construit dans l'action.Aujourd'hui, elle pilote des dizaines de milliers de collaborateurs à travers le monde et façonne la transformation industrielle, technologique et durable de l'un des plus grands groupes mondiaux.En intégrant très tôt la tech, la data et la durabilité au cœur de la stratégie, elle a contribué à faire de L'Oréal un acteur majeur de la Beauty Tech.Mais au-delà des titres et des responsabilités, cette conversation s'intéresse à la femme derrière la fonction.Aux moments de doute.Aux choix parfois difficiles.À la manière de tenir dans la durée, quand la pression est immense et que les décisions engagent bien au-delà de soi.Nous avons parlé de légitimité, de pouvoir, de maternité, de solitude parfois, de vision, de responsabilité, et de ce que signifie vraiment diriger sans se perdre.Un échange profond et sans posture avec une femme qui incarne un leadership exigeant, lucide et profondément incarné.Et qui nous rappelle que les trajectoires les plus solides sont souvent celles que l'on ose réinventer.✨ Bonne écoute.

A lot of people leaders are exhausted right now. They're holding the line on performance… trying to keep their teams engaged… and making hard calls under pressure. And in the middle of all that, one thing gets pushed to the bottom of the list: Joy. Not the "happy all the time" kind of joy. Not "good vibes only." But joy as an operating system — the thing that stabilizes how you lead, how you respond, and how you treat people when work gets messy. Because when a leader runs on urgency, fear, or control… the team can feel it. And it costs you: trust, creativity, psychological safety, retention… and eventually, results. My special guest today is Sheryl Raphael Whitaker, and she's simplifying how to be a joy-centered people leader. Sheryl is a leadership transformation expert and best-selling author of It Starts with Joy: The Inner Shift that Changes Everything. She helps leaders and teams move from overload and disconnection into clarity, authenticity, and steady leadership — through her JoyShift™ method and the idea that "Joy is your COO." Here's how. My special guest today is Sheryl Raphael Whitaker and she's simplifying how to be a joy-centered people leader.  We tackle and simplify all aspects of it, including: That when you believe "Joy is an operating system" and "Joy is your COO," what that really means and the real cost to a team when a leader runs on urgency, fear, or control instead. The most common signs a people leader is not joy-centered (even if they're high-performing) versus someone who truly is. How to use the JoyAudit — and a couple of questions a manager can ask themselves to get clarity in under 10 minutes. A step-by-step, simplified walkthrough of the JoyShift Method: Joy Aware, Joy Embraced, Joy Committed, Joy in Motion — and one simple action you can take this week for each step. And if joy is the operating system, how it changes the most important people-leader moments: feedback, conflict, decision-making under pressure, and building trust — with a couple "before vs. after" examples you can picture immediately. Q: Are you ready to learn how to be a joy-centered people leader? If yes, this one is for you.

In this episode of The Leader's Notebook (Ep. 299), I invite you to listen as two of the greatest devotional passages in all of Scripture come together—the Lord's Prayer in Matthew 6 and the 23rd Psalm. What happens when Jesus' prayer becomes more than words we recite and David's psalm becomes more than comfort we quote? In my own darkest season, these Scriptures became medicine to my soul, steady handholds when I felt trapped in a well I could not climb out of. I discovered that the Lord's Prayer is not dead liturgy, but a living gift from God, meant to be prayed, lived, and trusted. As we reflect on these passages, you'll hear how God restores the soul, reshapes the mind, and brings peace into places of fear, weariness, and struggle. This message is an invitation to let Scripture wash over you, to pray what Jesus taught, and to trust the Shepherd who is with you—now and forever. – Dr. Mark Rutland Chapters (00:00:03) - The Leaders Notebook(00:00:25) - The Lord's Prayer in the 23rd Psalm(00:02:27) - Our Prayer for Matthew 6(00:02:58) - Psalm 23(00:04:49) - How to Write a Book About Depression(00:13:07) - The Lord's Prayer: A Help for People in Depression(00:21:14) - The 23rd Psalm and the Lord's Prayer(00:28:15) - The Lord's Prayer and The Ten Commandments(00:33:56) - Psalm 23: Medicine to My Soul(00:35:53) - Amino: The 23rd Psalm
