Have you ever sat in a meeting about AI, nodded along, then thought, "I've got no idea what they're talking about, and I'm meant to be leading this"? If so, you're in good company.In this episode, I chat with Em and AI expert James Killick to answer the question every leader is quietly asking. In 2026, does AI get you promoted, or replaced?Here's the truth. AI isn't coming for leaders. It's coming for the leaders who live in the detail and do the work of the people below them. Your job hasn't changed since the Industrial Revolution. Take your people, your tools, and your budget, and turn them into something valuable.In this episode:Why AI replaces the technical work, not the leadership work, and who that puts at riskThe "automate last" rule, and why 9 in 10 AI projects failHow to treat AI like an over-enthusiastic intern, so your judgement matters more, not lessThe one mindset shift: lead AI inward, lead people outwardWhat to hand to AI first, and the 20% only you can doThe window is open right now.

In this episode of Sales & Cigars, Walter Crosby sits down with Matt Haney, fractional COO and integrator, to talk about accountability, visionary entrepreneurs, and what really keeps businesses from scaling. Matt works with founders who have built strong companies but have reached the point where they need help turning vision into execution. The conversation digs into the tension between visionaries and operators, why accountability often breaks down, and how leaders can create clearer expectations without slipping into micromanagement. Matt also explains why many business problems are really people problems—and why having a trusted right hand can help founders get out of seats they should no longer be sitting in. If you are a visionary leader trying to scale, this episode is worth your time.   Episode Highlights Why founders often struggle to move from doing to leading How accountability breaks down when expectations are unclear Why working sessions can become necessary when execution stalls The danger of visionaries staying one or two levels too deep in the business How sales leaders can work better with founder-led organizations Why trust between a visionary and sales leader is critical The role of a fractional COO as operator, advisor, and accountability partner Why third-party perspective can help resolve leadership tension How to identify when your business needs a trusted right hand   Key Themes & Takeaways Accountability starts with clear expectations. People cannot execute against vague direction. Leaders must define what success looks like. Visionaries often need help getting out of the way. Founders built the business by doing everything, but scaling requires them to release control in the right places. Execution problems are often people problems. Missed targets, stalled growth, and lack of follow-through usually connect back to communication, clarity, or accountability. Trust must be intentionally built. When founders bring in sales leaders or operators, information flow and role clarity are essential. A strong right hand creates leverage. The right operator helps translate vision into action, hold people accountable, and reduce chaos inside the business. Outside perspective can reduce friction. Sometimes a neutral third party helps leaders hear each other more clearly and move through tension faster.   Who Should Listen This episode is especially valuable for: Visionary entrepreneurs who feel stuck in the weeds Founders looking for a trusted right hand or integrator Sales leaders working inside founder-led businesses CEOs struggling with accountability across the team Service-based businesses trying to scale operations Leaders who know the company needs structure but are unsure where to start   Links & Resources Sinclair Ventures https://sinclairventures.com Matt Haney matt@sinclairventures.com Matt Haney on LinkedIn   Continue the Conversation If this episode made you think differently about accountability, leadership, or how to build a business that can scale without everything running through you, join the Sales Integrator Community.

Mark Scandrette has spent over twenty years wrestling with a hard realization: knowing a lot about God doesn't mean you're good at following Jesus. Dave Kludt spent fifteen years in pastoral ministry learning that everything, down to how you arrange the chairs in a room, forms people. Together they co-teach a Doctor of Ministry cohort at Fuller Seminary built around two words: integral and embodied. Mark is the founder of Reimagine and author of Practicing the Way of Jesus and The Ninefold Path of Jesus, and a longtime friend of the podcast (he first joined us back on episode 112). Dave is the president of Reimagine's board, a former pastor of 15 years, and Mark's partner in this new cohort, a Substack, and an upcoming podcast.IN THIS CONVERSATION:Why "getting more information" doesn't lead to transformation, and what doesWhat Dave means by an "integral" approach to formation, and why it starts with facing the world's fractures honestlyWhat Mark means by "embodied" formation, and the Learning Lab model Reimagine uses to teach by doingWhy the leader of a Learning Lab has to be a participant, not just an expertMoving from a "closed fist" to an "open hand" posture toward your next stepWhy discomfort with failure gets in the way of formation in many churchesHow Mark and Dave use the Enneagram as a formation tool, not a personality quizThe "formation edges" Mark and Dave are each working on right nowMark and Dave's hopes for the Fuller Doctor of Ministry cohort on integral and embodied formationRELEVANT RESOURCES AND LINKS:markscandrette.com — Mark's websitereimagine.org — Mark and Dave's organizationFuller Seminary's Doctor of Ministry programBooks mentioned:Practicing the Way of Jesus, by Mark ScandretteThe Ninefold Path of Jesus, by Mark ScandretteRELATED EPISODES:The Beatitudes and Spiritual Leadership, with Mark ScandretteThe Spiritual Life of a Leader, with Tod BolsingerThe Neuroscience of Spiritual Formation, with Jim WilderSend me a text!

In this episode of Leaders in Living Rooms, Sean Morgan sits down with Fr. James Mallon to explore what it really takes to move a church from maintenance to mission. Drawing from his experience revitalizing struggling parishes, Fr. James shares the realities of church turnaround, the weight of leadership, and the deep cultural shifts required to reclaim a missional identity. He unpacks the tension between shepherding and evangelism, the danger of inward-focused church culture, and the critical role of the Holy Spirit, leadership development, and intentional systems like Alpha in sparking renewal. This conversation offers both encouragement and practical wisdom for leaders navigating change and longing to see genuine transformation in their churches. Welcome to Episode 161 of the Leaders in Living Rooms Podcast with Sean Morgan.

Episode summary introduction: In this episode of The Sean Barnes Podcast, Sean Barnes breaks down what executive presence actually means, starting with why it's some of the most common and least helpful feedback leaders get on their way up. He argues that the suit, the tie, and a clean cut are just the baseline. Real executive presence is built on three things: clear communication that adapts to any room, the composure to stay calm when everything is on fire, and the certainty that comes from a track record of results. Sean shares how he learned to articulate his message to different audiences, from the boardroom to a wireline shop in the Permian, and why the leader who says less often owns the room. He closes with a self-assessment for leaders who want to be remembered in every room they walk out of.   Key Moments 00:00 The vague feedback every rising leader hears, and what executive presence actually means 00:53 Why the nice suit and tie are only the foundation 01:47 Communication skills: cutting filler words and articulating your message clearly 02:41 Adapting your message to every room and navigating up and down the chain of command 03:39 Staying calm and collected when the business is on fire 04:38 Saying less: say the one thing that matters, then stop 05:27 Certainty is the product: leading from confidence 06:24 What confidence really is, and why affirmations in the mirror didn't work 07:23 Operating from fear versus giving the work time, plus the value of a coach or mentor 08:23 A self-assessment, and how to study the leaders who command the room   Key Takeaways The basics are just the baseline. How you show up matters, but communication, composure, and certainty are what take you to the next level. Say less and stay calm. The leader who talks the least, and keeps the room steady in a crisis, is the one people remember. Over explaining reads as chasing validation. Confidence is earned, not affirmed. It comes from a stack of real results built over time and across different domains, not from pep talks in the mirror.   Podcast Show Notes – Episode 286 | 06.16.2026 Episode Title: Executive Presence for Leaders: Communication, Composure, and Certainty   Host: Sean Barnes Website: https://www.wolfexecutives.com   https://www.seanbarnes.com   LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/seanbarnes/ https://www.linkedin.com/company/wolfexecutives https://www.linkedin.com/company/thewayofthewolf/ LinkedIn Newsletter: https://www.linkedin.com/newsletters/7284600567593684993/   Twitter: https://x.com/seanbarnes https://x.com/wolfexecutives   Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/the_seanbarnes https://www.instagram.com/wolfexecutives   TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@the_seanbarnes   Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/theseanbarnes

Most discipleship stalls because people only see the lesson, not the life behind it. In this episode, Mark, Dave, and Marcus unpack what happened when a group of young disciples joined a real ministry trip from New York City to Connecticut and the deepest formation happened in the car. You'll learn why shared rhythms, relational margin, and doing ministry together reveal questions that scheduled meetings rarely reach. The conversation gives you a practical way to move disciples from learning tools to becoming leaders who can enter new places and make disciples themselves.- Save Your Seat for the "Lost to Leader" 45 Min Zoom Lab next month: ⁠https://www.covomultipliers.com/aquila-and-priscilla-pattern.html- Find Dave on Substack: ⁠⁠⁠https://substack.com/@damillertime⁠⁠⁠⁠- And Mark on Substack: ⁠https://substack.com/@multiplyingdisciples⁠

Welcome to the Boomer Briefing Podcast – your 20-minute insight into the conversations shaping the future of the accounting profession. On this episode, Jon Hubbard and Jim Boomer recap the first Audit Leader Circle meeting, where audit leaders came together ready to share, collaborate, and build a trusted peer network from day one. The conversation centered on how the audit business model is evolving, with a strong focus on AI, emerging technologies, and the ripple effect these changes are having on process, pricing, and talent strategies. Leaders explored how to rethink the value they deliver and adapt their firms to a more technology-driven future. You'll also hear how the group tackled developing next-generation leaders, creating space for open dialogue, and learning from both successes and challenges. Through peer-driven discussions, audit leaders left with practical ideas, stronger connections, and a shared commitment to accelerating progress together.

Comments? Questions? Send us a message!Many churches are experiencing a leadership deficit. There are too few biblical elders, too few deacons, and not as many people who know which spiritual gifts they've been given by the Spirit, what they are called to do, or what ministries  the Lord has opened up for them.Many leadership teams are not in alignment with their pastor in doctrine and practice, nor are they in alignment with each other.There are many fellowships — normal sized (50-200 regular attenders) — that believe they do not possess the resources to begin strong leadership development and equipping and training of the saints.That's what this podcast is all about. It's going to help the equipping senior pastor do the work of equipping those whom the Lord is calling into leadership ministry positions. And, he doesn't have to have it all figured out.

In this episode, Dr. Stuart Slavin is joined by Julie Beckerdite, director of education for the Departments of Pathology and Psychiatry, and Carrie Racsumberger, fellowship program manager in the Department of Pathology - both at Mass General Brigham. Together, they share insights from their work on the ACGME Coordinator Advisory Group in a practical conversation on the relationships that shape the program coordinator role in graduate medical education (GME). Drawing on their experience, Beckerdite and Racsumberger discuss how interactions with residents, fellows, faculty members, and program leaders can be both a major source of satisfaction and a source of ongoing challenge. They share strategies for setting expectations early, communicating effectively, and addressing common issues like delayed responses, professionalism concerns, and recurring administrative demands. They also emphasize the importance of establishing clear boundaries with the support of leadership while maintaining a respectful, collaborative approach that promotes accountability and teamwork. The conversation highlights the meaningful connections coordinators build with residents/fellows, and the important role they play in supporting professional development and fostering psychological safety within programs. Throughout the discussion, Beckerdite and Racsumberger emphasize perspective-taking, consistency, and the value of strong relationships in navigating difficult situations. Listeners will gain practical insights into how intentional communication and clear role definition can strengthen team culture and enhance the coordinator experience in GME.

As a leader, I can choose the systems, processes, and frameworks for my team, but that alone does not guarantee execution. People do not respond to what is explained as much as they respond to what is enforced. In this episode, I explain why repeated reminders and clear communication are not enough when there are no consequences for ignoring standards. Real leadership is not about setting rules. It's about consistently enforcing them so the right behaviors become the norm. Show Notes: [07:35]#1 Ownership creates compliance. [11:20]#2 Team members calibrate to enforcement, not to instruction. [18:55]#3 Inconsistency from leaders dissolves alignment. [21:56] Recap Next Steps: --- Execution is not a talent.   It is a standard. If your results don't match your ability, something in your approach is out of alignment. Most people do not have a motivation problem.   They have a consistency problem. Power Presence is the system for operating with greater discipline, clarity, structure, and execution under pressure.

Leaders from some of the world's most powerful nations are gathering today in France for the G7. This year's summit comes just after the US and Iran say they have struck a tentative deal to end hostilities and open the Strait of Hormuz. The text of the deal has not yet been made public and both sides have offered conflicting accounts of what will follow a signing ceremony on Friday. To add to the uncertainty, the agreement does not resolve perhaps the most important long term issue: Iran's nuclear program and its existing highly enriched uranium. Those negotiations are meant to be dealt with in the next two months. For more on this, Iran expert Karim Sadjadpour joins the show from Washington DC.   Also on today's show: financial author and journalist William D.

She ended the day at 4:45 with her real work still untouched. Got up. Went home. Came back and did it again. If that landed anywhere, this episode was built for you. I give a name to something a lot of leaders at your level are living right now and have not had the language for. And I give you two things you can do differently tomorrow.   INSIDE THE EPISODE Four questions worth sitting with honestly Before I name it, I ask you to answer four things. Not in your head the way you do when you are half listening. Actually stop and answer them.   What quiet cracking is and what it is not It is not burnout. It is not a character flaw. It is something more specific than either of those and more important to name.   What it looks like from the inside The conversations that used to feel like culture now feel like a drain. The goals you were hired to move have not been touched in weeks. Not because you forgot. I name what is underneath that.   What becomes possible when it shifts I paint the day you are building toward. It is not a fantasy. It is what gets addressed when you stop managing it at the surface.   Two things you can do tomorrow Not a framework. Not a system overhaul. Two moves. Either one changes something.   WHAT TO TAKE WITH YOU There is a name for what you have been carrying. Hearing it does something that managing it never will. The things we do not name, we manage. And managing something unnamed is exhausting in a way a long weekend does not fix.

I talked with Harry Javer, Founder and Producer of The Lodging Conference, and Dr. Producer Suzanne Bagnera about why this event keeps pulling people back year after year. I've been going for about 25 years. Suzanne's coming for the first time. That gave us two very different ways into the same conversation. The Lodging Conference brings the industry conversations people need right now: finance, construction, development, AI, adaptive reuse, conversions, residential hotels, and the dealmaking that shapes what comes next. I'll also be back on the main stage hosting one of the general session panels, so I wanted to hear directly from Harry about what's shaping this year's event. But the event also has the thing most conferences can't manufacture: people actually relax. The lazy river race helps. The duck race definitely helps. So do the morning activities, the evening events, and the way the property takeover keeps people running into each other all week. That's what makes the conversations different. People still talk deals, capital, brands, development, and strategy. They just do it in an environment where everyone feels a little more human. Harry also shared what first-timers should know, why the event keeps selling out, and why registering before June 30 matters. And yes, I fully intend to defend my title as king of the lazy river race. Want the weekly roundup of news, videos, and what you might've missed from #NoVacancyNews? Text HOTEL to 66866.

U.S. President Donald Trump is heading to France on June 15 for the G7 summit, just hours after announcing a deal with Iran. Leaders of the world's seven largest advanced economies are meeting from June 15 to June 17 in the French spa town of Evian-les-Bains to discuss global trade, immigration, geopolitical conflicts, and other key issues.Oil prices slipped to a three-month low on June 15 after U.S. President Donald Trump and Iran's deputy foreign minister said they had reached an initial deal to end the war and to resume traffic through the Strait of Hormuz.

In this episode of the 7 Minute Leadership Podcast, Paul breaks down one of the most underrated leadership skills — the ability to see clearly before you act. Experienced leaders aren't reacting to surface-level information. They're reading the energy in the room, identifying where real influence lives on their team, spotting the gap between what people say and what's actually true, recognizing where pressure is wearing their people down, and uncovering potential in the people others have overlooked. Paul explains that these aren't innate gifts — they're learnable skills built through intentional observation and genuine curiosity about the people you lead. Whether you're a new leader or a seasoned executive, this episode will challenge you to slow down, look deeper, and start seeing what you've been walking past.Host: Paul FalavolitoConnect with me on your favorite platform: Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn, Substack, BlueSky, Threads, LinkTree, YouTubeView my website for free leadership resources and exclusive merchandise: www.paulfalavolito.comBooks by Paul FalavolitoThe 7 Minute Leadership® Handbook: bit.ly/48J8zFGThe Leadership Academy: https://bit.ly/4lnT1PfThe 7 Minute Leadership® Survival Guide: https://bit.ly/4ij0g8yThe Leader's Book of Secrets: http://bit.ly/4oeGzCI

FFA membership continues to grow across the country, surpassing one million members as the organization prepares for its 99th National FFA Convention and Expo this fall in Indianapolis. National FFA Marketing and Communications Lead Kristy Meyer recently joined the AgNet News Hour to discuss membership growth, leadership development, and the future of agricultural education. According to Meyer, FFA has experienced significant growth in recent years, not only in traditional rural communities but also in suburban and urban areas. The organization reached the one-million-member milestone two years ago and continues expanding its reach as more students discover opportunities within agriculture. “We had a million members two years ago and we just keep growing,” Meyer said. “We're really glad that all of our members are understanding what agriculture is and how important it is to everybody.” The organization's annual National FFA Convention and Expo remains one of the largest student leadership events in the nation. Last year's convention attracted more than 73,000 attendees, and organizers expect similar participation when members gather in Indianapolis October 21-24 for the 99th convention. FFA officials recently announced that Indianapolis will remain home to the national convention through 2040. The event brings together students from all 50 states, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands to participate in leadership workshops, competitions, career exploration activities, and service projects. Meyer said one of the organization's greatest strengths is its ability to prepare students for careers both inside and outside of production agriculture. “We really talk about the premier leadership, personal growth, and career success that FFA offers,” Meyer explained. While farming remains at the heart of the organization, Meyer noted that agriculture now includes more than 250 different career paths. Students are increasingly interested in technology, precision agriculture, artificial intelligence, engineering, communications, and agribusiness careers. FFA membership is directly connected to agricultural education programs offered through schools. Students enrolled in agricultural education classes have opportunities to participate in FFA activities, leadership events, and supervised agricultural experiences that help prepare them for future careers. Meyer also highlighted the importance of community service within the organization. FFA members regularly participate in local volunteer efforts and leadership programs, including the Washington Leadership Conference held annually in Washington, D.C. Another initiative launching this year is Chapter Connect, a program designed to pair FFA chapters from different regions of the country so students can learn about agriculture, culture, and production practices outside their local areas. The organization continues to receive praise from agricultural employers for producing highly motivated and well-prepared young leaders. Through public speaking, leadership development, career training, and hands-on agricultural experiences, FFA members gain skills that often translate directly into workplace success. As agriculture faces ongoing workforce challenges and increasing technological demands, Meyer remains optimistic about the next generation. “The future is strong with our members,” Meyer said. “There's a lot of hope and we have really good members. This is the future generation of leaders, and our country is in pretty good shape with them.”

I want to name something that doesn't get named enough in leadership circles.The higher you rise in an organization, the lonelier it gets.Not the loneliness of having no one around. Leaders are rarely physically alone. There are meetings, conversations, demands, people wanting things from you at every turn.I'm talking about something different. The loneliness of having no one to be genuinely honest with.No room where you can say what you're actually thinking. No person who will challenge you without an agenda. No space to put the weight down temporarily and think out loud without the conversation being managed or the doubt being used against you.That kind of loneliness is almost universal among senior leaders. And almost nobody talks about it.This episode is about why — and what it actually costs.

It's Black Friday. The busiest shopping and dining day of the year, in a town known for being the Christmas city, packed with people in from out of town. Theresa had just hosted Thanksgiving — a houseful of family and friends — and all she wanted that afternoon was to finish cleaning up and sit down with a glass of wine. Not think about anything. Five minutes after she said it out loud, the phone rang.   "Teresa, it's raining in the basement. We don't know what to do. It's brown water."   She lived an hour away. So she drove. The whole way up wondering what she was about to walk into. A restaurant packed. A retail store packed. A city packed. And in the basement, water pouring out from under a door — brown — heading straight for the inventory.   By the time she got down there, one of the restaurant managers was already on the stairs. In a garbage bag. Kitchen gloves on. Holding a spatula. "T, we can do this. We got this. I Googled how to fix a pipe." It was a sewage pipe. And Theresa is a germaphobe.   Here's what most people would have done: run. Theresa did the opposite. She leaned in. She started assessing — first, second, third. Call the plumber. Call the remediation company on a holiday weekend. Save the inventory. Call the owner, who was in Mexico. And make sure nobody upstairs ever found out.   They didn't fix the pipe themselves, by the way. She threw her sneakers out and drove home barefoot in the snow. But the business never skipped a beat on the busiest day of the year — because the right things were already in place.   That flooded basement became one of the stories that taught Theresa what it actually takes to run a business in a crisis. It comes down to four things: presence, people, processes, and perseverance. The only thing we ever really control is the effort we put in and how we choose to face the moment when it breaks.   So here's the real question. It was never whether a crisis like this would happen — because it will. It's whether you have the presence, the people, the processes, and the perseverance to walk through it and come out the other side completely intact.   Key Takeaways: • Crisis isn't the question — it's coming no matter what. The real question is whether you have the leadership and systems in place to walk through it and get to the other side completely intact. • The only thing you truly control is the effort you put in and how you face the moment. You can run from the crisis, or you can lean into it. • Presence is leadership when it's hard. It's being the person they call because they know you'll figure it out — not the leader who panics and waits for someone else to handle it. • People matter most in the breakdown. The right team thinks critically and creatively under pressure, brings diversity of thinking, and keeps the business from bottlenecking on you. • Processes are the skeleton that holds everything upright. Real operational structure is what let the restaurant and store keep running on Black Friday while the basement flooded — business continuity in action. • Perseverance is radical resilience — the 6th gear. Cry for a moment, get frustrated for a moment, then shift into the strategic, critical, creative-solution brain and keep moving. • Good leaders bring calm into the chaos, not more chaos into the chaos. Intention beats running around like a chicken with its head cut off. • Every business owner has a version of this story — a pipe, a fridge going down, people quitting, COVID. What separates them is what they put in place before it hit.   Timestamps / Chapter Markers: 00:00   The one question — what crisis taught you how to run your business? 01:30   Why this story is in the upcoming book 02:21   Picture this: Black Friday, the Christmas city, the busiest weekend of the year 03:40   "It's raining in the basement.

On this episode of Growing Kentucky's Leaders, we hear from Aiden Manley, the 2025–2026 Kentucky FFA State President. In his retiring address at state convention, Aiden shared a deeply personal journey of overcoming unexpected hardships — from a sudden childhood move to an isolated Eastern Kentucky holler, to family financial crises and a terrifying medical emergency with his sister.

"Leaders often hinder team motivation by projecting their own logic and values onto others instead of using curiosity to uncover individual drivers." Communication coach and former actor Joel Silverstone joins host Josh Seldin to transform how leaders approach motivation and professional accountability. Joel pulls back the curtain on the psychology of human behavior, showing leaders how to move away from rigid, directive feedback and step into a co-active, conversational framework focused on future growth. Josh and Joel explore why projecting your own personal motivations onto a team member fails, how to master the art of remaining deeply present and listening actively, and the power of being soft on the person while remaining hard on the problem. From utilizing curiosity as a tool to uncover hidden professional drivers to navigating high-stakes feedback conversations, this episode provides a sharp, real-world playbook on how to build a sustainable, high-performing culture through authentic communication. Key Takeaways: ✅ The Projection Trap: Why assuming your team members are motivated by the same logic and values as you is a major leadership blind spot. ✅ Curiosity Over Certainty: How replacing assumptions with genuine curiosity allows you to uncover what actually drives individual performance. ✅ The Co-Active Feedback Model: Shifting away from top-down directive feedback to a collaborative, growth-focused conversation. ✅ Deep Presence in Communication: Strategies for overcoming the internal noise to listen actively and remain fully present with your team. ✅ Soft on Person, Hard on Problem: A communication framework for protecting human relationships and psychological safety while maintaining uncompromising standards for performance. ✅ Unlocking Team Motivation: Practical tools from the world of performance and coaching to transform how your team engages with constructive criticism.

The United States and Iran will sign a peace deal on Friday, US President Donald Trump announced on Sunday.美国总统唐纳德・特朗普周日宣布，美国与伊朗将于周五签署和平协议。"The Deal with the Islamic Republic of Iran is now complete," Trump said in an announcement on Truth Social. "Congratulations to all!"特朗普在 "真实社交" 平台发布声明称："与伊朗伊斯兰共和国的协议现已达成，向所有人表示祝贺！""Many presidents have tried to make Peace with Iran, and all have failed before me. The Leaders of the Region have, for the first time, found a President who can help them achieve real Peace," Trump posted.特朗普发文称："多任美国总统都曾尝试与伊朗实现和平，在我之前全部失败。该地区各国领导人首次找到了一位能够帮助他们实现真正和平的总统。""With the opening of the Strait upon the signing of the Deal on Friday, for purposes of mine removal, oil will flow on both ends again for the Region, and the World!" he said.他表示："随着周五协议签署后海峡开放用于清除水雷，该地区乃至全球的石油运输将在两端恢复畅通！"Earlier on Sunday, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif of Pakistan, which has been acting as a mediator, announced on X that a deal had been reached between the two parties.担任调停方的巴基斯坦总理夏巴兹・谢里夫周日早些时候在 X 平台宣布，双方已达成协议。"Following intensive talks, we are pleased to announce that the Peace Deal between the United States of America and Islamic Republic of Iran has been REACHED. Both sides have declared the immediate and permanent termination of military operations on all fronts, including in Lebanon," Sharif posted.谢里夫发文称："经过密集谈判，我们很高兴地宣布，美国与伊朗伊斯兰共和国已达成和平协议。双方已宣布立即永久停止包括黎巴嫩在内所有战线的军事行动。"The signing ceremony will be on Friday in Switzerland, he said.他表示，签字仪式将于周五在瑞士举行。"With the agreement now in place, mediators will facilitate a series of meetings this week. These pre-implementation discussions will lay the foundation for the technical talks and the official signing ceremony," Sharif said.谢里夫称："协议现已达成，调停方本周将推动一系列会谈。这些实施前磋商将为技术谈判和正式签字仪式奠定基础。"Iran Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi confirmed an immediate and permanent end to the war, telling Iranian state TV that military operations on various fronts, including Lebanon, will cease, Reuters reported. He also said that the US naval blockade of Iranian ports would be lifted.据路透社报道，伊朗副外长卡齐姆・加里巴巴迪向伊朗国家电视台证实，战争将立即永久结束，包括黎巴嫩在内各战线的军事行动都将停止。他还表示，美国对伊朗港口的海上封锁将解除。Details of the agreement have yet to be released.协议的具体细节尚未公布。Trump had posted earlier that a peace deal with Iran would be signed on Sunday — his 80th birthday.特朗普此前曾发文称，与伊朗的和平协议将于周日 —— 也就是他 80 岁生日当天签署。However, Iran said on Sunday that no agreement would be reached by Trump's deadline, the country's Fars News Agency reported.但据伊朗法尔斯通讯社报道，伊朗周日表示，不会在特朗普设定的最后期限前达成任何协议。The proposed agreement would apparently see the Strait of Hormuz reopened to commercial traffic, and the US blockade of Iranian ports lifted. It was expected that the current ceasefire would be extended by another 60 days.根据拟议协议，霍尔木兹海峡显然将重新对商业航运开放，美国对伊朗港口的封锁也将解除。预计当前停火协议将再延长 60 天。However, two ongoing sticking points have been a US demand that Iran surrender its stockpile of enriched uranium, while Iran has demanded the US unfreeze assets worth tens of billions of dollars.但目前仍存在两个争议点：美国要求伊朗交出其浓缩铀储备，而伊朗则要求美国解冻价值数百亿美元的资产。In an interview with the New York Times, Trump said that the agreement means the Strait of Hormuz would be "permanently toll free".特朗普在接受《纽约时报》采访时表示，该协议意味着霍尔木兹海峡将 "永久免费通行"。Trump told the Times that if Iran failed to reach a final nuclear agreement with the US he would restart military attacks, or make the US "the guardian of the Middle East" in return for a fifth of the region's revenue.特朗普对《纽约时报》表示，如果伊朗未能与美国达成最终核协议，他将重启军事打击，或者让美国成为 "中东的守护者"，以换取该地区五分之一的收入。UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer, in a joint statement with France, Germany and Italy, said the deal must be "implemented rapidly and comprehensively".英国首相基尔・斯塔默与法国、德国、意大利发表联合声明称，该协议必须 "迅速、全面地落实"。"This is a moment of opportunity to restore regional stability and stabilize the global economy," Starmer said.斯塔默表示："这是恢复地区稳定、稳定全球经济的机遇时刻。"French President Emmanuel Macron posted online that leaders at this week's G7 meeting will discuss the long-term reopening of the Strait of Hormuz.法国总统埃马纽埃尔・马克龙在网上发文称，本周七国集团会议的领导人将讨论霍尔木兹海峡的长期开放问题。"The aim will be to see the consequences of this agreement, support for Lebanon, the lasting reopening of Hormuz and of course the concluding of an accord on nuclear and ballistic activities in Iran," Macron said on Instagram.马克龙在 Instagram 上表示："目标将是落实该协议的成果、支持黎巴嫩、霍尔木兹海峡持久开放，当然还有达成伊朗核活动与弹道导弹活动的最终协议。"Tom Watkins, deputy chief of staff to former Michigan governor James Blanchard, told China Daily: "If it is to believed, and if it holds, it is good news for the people of Lebanon, Iran and for people of the world. With multiple false starts, even the most optimistic observer is waiting anxiously for its implementation."美国密歇根州前州长詹姆斯・布兰查德的办公厅副主任汤姆・沃特金斯对《中国日报》表示："如果消息属实且协议能够持续，这对黎巴嫩、伊朗人民以及全世界人民都是好消息。由于此前多次出现反复，即便是最乐观的观察人士也在焦急等待协议的落实。""Many innocent people in the Middle East, including women and children, have been killed and wounded because of this war," Watkins said.沃特金斯称："中东地区许多无辜民众，包括妇女和儿童，都因这场战争死伤。"This Trump administration war of choice has been costly for the US in loss of life, treasury and reputation, and many observers believe it leaves the US no more secure than before it started, he said.他表示，这场特朗普政府主动发起的战争让美国在生命、财政和声誉方面付出了沉重代价，许多观察人士认为，美国的安全程度并不比战争开始前更高。As in all "deals", the devil will be in the details that will dribble out, he added.他补充道，与所有 "协议" 一样，问题的关键将在于逐步披露的具体细节。mediator /ˈmiːdieɪtə(r)/ n. 调停者，斡旋者blockade /blɒˈkeɪd/ n. 封锁enriched uranium /ɪnˈrɪtʃt jʊˈreɪniəm/ 浓缩铀implementation /ˌɪmplɪmenˈteɪʃn/ n. 实施，执行

My Guest: Scott Harrison is the founder and CEO of charity: water, a non-profit that has raised over a billion dollars and funded tens of thousands of water projects to bring safe drinking water to millions. He previously spent a decade as a New York City nightclub promoter before a dramatic career shift led him into humanitarian work. Key Learnings Scott started a charity: water with $20 from a birthday party. Then $15,000... Twenty years later: over a billion dollars raised, 21 million people served. He says it should be 10 to 100 times more. The cure for water already exists. We're looking for water on Mars while 700 million people drink dirty water on Earth. We solved this hundreds of years ago. We just haven't implemented it. 25% of the money sitting in American donor-advised funds would give every human on Earth clean water. That's parked philanthropic capital. Already tax-benefited. Just waiting. The goal is always 10X what you're doing. If we raised a million last year, we want ten this year. If we raise $100 million, we should raise a billion. The opportunity is always orders of magnitude larger than the moment. Show, don't bullet. Scott shows 210 photos in a 45-minute keynote. No PowerPoint. Single images. A story unfolds frame by frame. Be early to the technology. First charity on Instagram. First to hit a million Twitter followers. First to use VR. The question is always the same: how does this new thing further the mission? The 100% model: solve for the cynic.  Public donations go to one bank account that funds only water projects. Overhead is raised separately from entrepreneurs and business leaders. Then track every donation to a specific village. Don't be mid. Scott's 11-year-old daughter says nobody wants to be mid. Excellence is a core value. There's a lot of mid out there. Design everything. The fact cover sheet. The PowerPoint. The website. The package. "We're always dating." If the message comes in an ugly package, you're at a disadvantage before you start. Treat the donor like a Michelin three-star guest. If a restaurant can think that carefully about a meal, you can think that carefully about a donor who can save a million lives. The Goldman Sachs partner who changed Scott's paradigm. Before making an eight-figure ask, Scott asked a partner: "How does it feel when people ask for a lot more than you expected?" The expected answer was irritated, offended, put off. The actual answer: "I feel flattered that they think I would be that generous." People are generous. The well is there. You just have to drill deep enough. Scott has spent 20 years asking for too little. That might be his next obsession. People give to people, not causes. A dynamic leader who transfers their enthusiasm gets the donation. The cause doesn't. Most of the donations Scott and his wife give are to people, not topics they were already passionate about. Talk 10% of the time. When Scott meets a donor for the first time, he wants to know their whole life story. Their marriage. Their kids. What they wanted to be when they grew up. Be genuinely curious or don't bother. Hire for integrity, humility, curiosity, and energy... 16,000 applicants for 36 roles last year. Energy matters most. Someone who can get you fired up about pickleball, Patagonia, or a new running shoe is exactly who you want on the executive team. The dinner test for hiring: Can you imagine having this person at your home for two hours at dinner? And wanting to keep them for another hour? Get the whole life story. Scott wants the arc from the beginning to the present in an interview. If someone can't tell their own story coherently, they probably don't know themselves yet. The 11-year-old with the piggy bank. He told his parents he was going to fund a whole village. They told him to set a realistic goal. He went knocking on doors. He came back with $10,000. Scott's experience lab in Nashville. A 60-minute immersive tour. A 100-degree room with a treadmill where you carry a 40-pound water vessel. Microscopes that show you parasites. A VR film that ends in celebration. The "give shop," not the gift shop. 53% of visitors donate. 10,000 visitors. $3.9 million raised in year one. Scott's champagne moment: a single billionaire who picks water. The water sector doesn't have one. Republicans and Democrats agree on it. Atheists and people of faith agree on it. Everyone has to drink. Reflection Questions What is the 10X version of your current goal? Where are you asking for too little because the smaller ask felt safer?

Before the marches, before the movements, there was a battle. And most of us were never taught who fought it or who lost. Monique and Kevin sit down with Dr. Karen Ellis, theological ethicist and researcher at The Center for Christian Endurance, to uncover the largely erased story of Black Baptist leaders who recognized Marxist ideological pressure for what it was and refused it. The painful irony Dr. Ellis's research surfaces is this: what the Black church once bled to keep out has now largely been welcomed in, dressed in justice language and preached from Black pulpits as if it were gospel. This is not merely a history lesson. It's a warning and a call. Off Code #80 Season 5, Episode 10

What if ambition is not the problem—but the way we fuel it is? In this episode of Leveraging Thought Leadership, Peter Winick speaks with Janine Mathó, author of "Live Your Opus", about the Opus Way: a framework designed to help high achievers build healthy, meaningful careers without lowering their ambition. Janine challenges the old tradeoff between success and sustainability. Her message is clear. You do not need less ambition. You need the energy, systems, and self-awareness to support it. Her work helps leaders understand how they operate under pressure. It gives them practical language for stress, change, burnout, and performance. It also helps teams see where energy is being spent, where it is being drained, and how leadership behavior shapes culture. Janine also shares how her tools are evolving from individual development into organizational capability. Her diagnostics, change continuum, and Opus 8 energy framework help leaders identify what is happening beneath the surface. Why decisions stall. Why teams struggle. Why people overextend. And why performance cannot scale when energy is ignored. Peter and Janine explore what it takes to turn thought leadership into a business model. The book serves the individual. The advisory work targets the top of the house. The bigger opportunity is helping organizations build internal capacity, embed the frameworks, and eventually use the work without Janine in every room. This conversation is about more than well-being. It is about leadership strategy. It is about sustainable ambition. And it is about creating tools that help people perform under pressure without losing themselves in the process. Three Key Takeaways: • Ambition needs energy to sustain it. The episode reframes burnout not as a reason to lower goals, but as a signal that energy, pressure, and performance need to be managed differently. • Leaders need shared language for change and stress. Frameworks like the change continuum and energy archetypes help teams talk clearly about pressure, resistance, overextension, and how people respond differently to change. • Well-being is not separate from leadership strategy. Sustainable performance requires systems, tools, and leadership behaviors that build capacity across the organization—not just individual self-care. If this conversation about sustainable ambition, leadership energy, and building capacity under pressure resonated with you, check out our episode with Cassie Solomon. Cassie's work also lives at the intersection of change, leadership, and organizational performance—helping leaders understand why transformation stalls and what it takes to move people forward. Listen in to hear a complementary perspective on how organizations can build the systems, behaviors, and capabilities needed to make change stick.

In this today's segment, Dan Sperring, founder and CEO of Align ICP, breaks down a mistake most revenue leaders make when defining their ideal customer profile. The instinct is to chase the highest lifetime value customers, but those segments are often the hardest to win, the slowest to close, and the first to break when the market shifts. This clip focuses on how to balance three critical factors inside your ICP: lifetime value, ease of acquisition, and market health. Dan explains why ignoring any one of these creates pipeline risk, and how leaders can avoid over-rotating into segments that look great on paper but fail in execution. For leaders responsible for predictable growth, this is about making smarter tradeoffs, not just better targeting. Dan Sperring is the founder and CEO of AlignICP, a company focused on helping revenue teams align around high-value customer segments to drive predictable growth. He brings experience across customer success, revenue leadership, and scaling SaaS businesses through product-market and go-to-market alignment.
