What if instead of chasing a seat at the table, you built an entirely new game — and the world fell in love with it?On today's episode, we sit down with Jesse Cole, founder and owner of the Savannah Bananas and creator of Banana Ball. Jesse has built one of the most extraordinary, fast-growing sports movements by breaking every rule in the book. In an era where attention is the hardest currency, he's turned baseball into a full-blown entertainment experience — part sport, part show, and all heart.From selling out ballparks across America to giving foster families standing ovations mid-game, Jesse's vision is driven by one principle: Fans First. He shares the habits and systems behind that mindset — from his “Learn, Change, Plus” culture of constant improvement to the leadership lessons that came from adopting two daughters during COVID. It's a conversation about leading with joy, embracing risk, and using creativity as a form of love.In this episode, you'll learn:How to design sold-out experiences by removing friction — and why iteration beats perfectionWhy culture must evolve from “team” to “teammates”The simple system that keeps the Savannah Bananas innovating nightlyWhy “winning” is redefined as a remarkable show and shared joy–not just the scoreHow Jesse and his wife Emily turned their foster journey into Bananas FosterWhat it means to “play your own game” — in business and in lifeThis is a masterclass in building something meaningful — not by following the rules, but by following your heart.--------------------------Links & ResourcesSubscribe to our YouTube Channel for more conversations at the intersection of high performance, leadership, and wellbeing: https://www.youtube.com/c/FindingMasteryGet exclusive discounts and support our amazing sponsors!

Joined on this episode by the one and only Scott Huff and it promises to be a fun discussion. We discuss building and developing officers in the modern fire service and how to overcome the challenges that presents. We discuss the dangers of water response and the impact it has had. Developing a response plan and common mistakes that are made. We talk about resources that are available and how to take advantage of those resources. Of course as always, the best laid plans of me and the guest are always beautifully derailed by the great questions from the audience as they take control of the Scrap!

This week, we're reaching back into the archive, and re-releasing an episode from back in May with Jereme Kent, the CEO of One Power Company. Given our recent episodes focusing on AI-driven enterprises, we thought it would be a good time to revisit this episode where Jereme discusses the need for a modernized grid to power those projects. Enjoy! Summary: The world has changed a lot in the last century, but it might surprise you to learn that the US power grid has remained pretty much the same. In this country, energy is by and large controlled by regional utilities with de-facto monopolies, and no real incentive to innovate. That inertia impacts the entire economy, as industrial projects are starved of the power they need to get off the ground. Jereme Kent is the founder and CEO of One Power Company. Under his leadership, One Power is trailblazing the creation of the customer-centric power grid of the future. Before founding One Power in 2009, Jereme led the construction of some of the world's premier wind projects. As a field engineer, erection superintendent and site manager, he has overseen more than a billion dollars in wind turbine construction. Jereme joins us to discuss how and why current US power infrastructure is falling short, and how the One Power model could both energize and decarbonize America's efforts to re-industrialize. Highlights:The state of the grid (3:09)Why we need fixes now (7:04)One Powers services (9:03)Vertical Integration (11:30)Digital Substations (13:54)Fundamental Industries (15:20)Sustainability (16:55)Net Zero (19:45)10 year outlook (21:02)Culture of innovation (23:36)One Power's priorities (25:30)Links:Jereme Kent LinkedInOne Power LinkedInOne Power WebsiteICR LinkedInICR TwitterICR Website Feedback:If you have questions about the show, or have a topic in mind you'd like discussed in future episodes, email our producer, joe@lowerstreet.co.

Hello everyone!  This week I'm joined by Carrie Jackson, the incredible principal of Allen High School in Texas — and someone I've had the privilege of working alongside in my career. Carrie embodies what it means to lead with humility, compassion, and care. In our conversation, we dig deep into what real leadership looks like — not the kind that leans on authority or power, but the kind that sees people first. We talk about the difference between power and influence, and how the best leaders earn trust and respect not through force, but through consistency, empathy, and a genuine commitment to the people they serve. It's a reminder that leadership isn't about control — it's about connection.

The road to mastery is paved with small improvements every day.Communicating can feel daunting at times. What does it take to find your voice in the moments that matter most? As Chiney Ogwumike says, “There is freedom on the other side of your fear.”As a professional basketball player, NBA and WNBA analyst for ESPN, and advocate for gender equality in sports, Ogwumike faces many situations where communication is critical. For her, achieving confidence in communication is the same as honing any other skill—embracing failure and refinement through repetition. “The best things in life are things you work out over long periods of time,” she says. “Great people, great communicators, anyone that's working at something, show up each and every day and just chip away, chip away, chip away, until they turn that weakness into a strength.”In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, Ogwumike and host Matt Abrahams discuss how practice and preparation can equip us for better communication, transforming fear into confidence, perfectionism into authenticity, and weakness into strength.To listen to the extended Deep Thinks version of this episode, please visit FasterSmarter.io/premium.Episode Reference Links:Chiney OgwumikeEp.166 Why Relying on Talent Alone Will Fail You Ep.153 Listen Up, Leaders: A Record-Setting Coach's Guide to Communication Connect:Premium Signup >>>> Think Fast Talk Smart PremiumEmail Questions & Feedback >>> hello@fastersmarter.ioEpisode Transcripts >>> Think Fast Talk Smart WebsiteNewsletter Signup + English Language Learning >>> FasterSmarter.ioThink Fast Talk Smart >>> LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTubeMatt Abrahams >>> LinkedInChapters:(00:00) - Introduction (02:20) - Communication on the Court (04:02) - Performing Under Pressure (06:11) - Lessons from Great Coaches (08:21) - Embracing Imperfection and Authenticity (11:43) - Strategies for Effective On-Air Communication (16:16) - The Final Three Questions (19:09) - Conclusion ********Thank you to our sponsors.  These partnerships support the ongoing production of the podcast, allowing us to bring it to you at no cost.Strawberry.me.

In this powerful episode of the Growth Now Movement, I sit down with Garrett Lowe — a global leader, mentor, and faith-driven visionary who's helping people around the world discover their purpose and step fully into their calling. Garrett's work is centered around aligning talent, opportunity, and passion — what he calls the TOP Calling Framework — to help people live intentionally and lead with authenticity. We dive deep into the power of self-awareness, how to identify and live out your personal mission, and what it truly means to lead with vulnerability and faith. Garrett shares how creating his own mission statement completely transformed his life, and how clarity of vision can empower anyone to unlock their full potential. Throughout our conversation, Garrett opens up about the intersection of leadership and faith, exploring how divine guidance, free will, and biblical principles can shape how we show up in business, relationships, and life. He breaks down how to leverage your natural wiring, cultivate emotional intelligence, and use feedback as a tool for growth — while staying grounded in humility and purpose. If you've ever felt called to something greater or wondered how your unique gifts fit into the bigger picture, this conversation will help you gain the clarity and courage to live out your calling with confidence. In this episode, you will learn: How to identify and align your talents, opportunities, and passions to fulfill your highest purpose. The importance of crafting a personal mission statement to guide your decisions and daily actions. Why self-awareness and vulnerability are essential traits for powerful leadership. How to use faith and divine guidance as tools for clarity and direction. The role of feedback and curiosity in becoming a more effective and empathetic leader. How to build meaningful relationships that foster growth, trust, and community. The importance of defining success beyond achievements — focusing on legacy and purpose instead.

Want to get promoted faster?  The way you speak offers your boss and leadership a window into how you think and how you lead. Which means—if you want to get noticed and promoted, excellent communication is a must. But here's the thing: most people communicate like individual contributors, not leaders. They focus on sharing information instead of driving action. They explain what they did instead of the impact it created. They defer to senior voices instead of contributing their own. Leaders communicate differently. And when you shift how you speak, everything changes. Tune into today's episode to learn the exact phrases and mindset shifts that'll help you show up like the leader you're ready to become. I think you're going to love this one.

He explains how overwhelming change causes leaders to freeze, micromanage, or become emotionally reactive. Megnazi emphasizes that effective leadership requires emotional awareness—identifying and naming feelings before acting on them. He argues leaders must shift from prioritizing results to enabling team success by understanding individual strengths and creating environments where people can reach their potential, ultimately achieving exponentially better outcomes. TAKEAWAYS Emotional awareness precedes calm leadership: Leaders must identify and name their emotions in real-time to respond thoughtfully rather than react impulsively to triggers and stress. Trust requires competence plus care: People choose to follow leaders who demonstrate professional expertise and genuine concern for their team members' wellbeing and growth. Enable results, don't just demand them: A leader's job is growing teams that deliver outcomes by tapping into each person's unique strengths, not personally achieving every result.

It's not about materials arriving on cue, it's about everything moving in rhythm. In this episode, Jason Schroeder and Kevin break down the second great pillar of the Toyota Production System: Just In Time. But as they reveal, this principle goes far beyond supply chains and delivery schedules, it's the heartbeat of flow. Through firsthand reflections from Toyota plants and lean pioneers, Jason and Kevin show how Just In Time is really about designing a perfectly balanced system where people, machines, and materials move in harmony, free of strain, waste, and interruption. From riveting stations built in the perfect “strike zone,” to 50-ton die changes completed in under five minutes without power, to two operators working one machine in seamless rhythm, this episode captures what true flow looks like in motion. In this episode, you'll learn: Why Just In Time isn't about inventory, it's about stability and flow. How Japanese manufacturers design balance between humans and machines. The real definition of pull: Takt-based pull, not reactive production. How flow state eliminates bottlenecks, strain, and waiting. Why nothing in Japan is built without Takt time and why construction shouldn't be either. Jason and Kevin also reveal a simple truth learned on the trip: you can't have Just In Time without Takt. It's not speed, it's synchronization. And when teams find that rhythm, work stops being stressful and starts being beautifully predictable.

What if the smartest thing your team could do was stop? In this special episode of the Elevate Construction Podcast , Jason Schroeder and Kevin unpack one of the most misunderstood yet powerful principles of Lean: Jidoka “automation with a human touch.” Fresh from their reflections in Japan, they trace this concept all the way back to Sakichi Toyota's original loom where a single broken thread would automatically stop the machine to prevent defects. That simple idea became one of the two foundational pillars of the Toyota Production System, right alongside Just in Time. But this episode isn't just history, it's transformation. Jason and Kevin reveal how Jidoka's Stop. Call. Wait. mindset can revolutionize construction culture. Instead of “go, go, go,” imagine a jobsite where anyone at any level can stop work the moment they see variation or risk. No fear. No blame. Just precision, safety, and respect for people. In this episode, you'll discover: How Toyota designed “intelligent stopping” into its systems over a century ago. Why Stop. Call. Wait. creates psychological safety and eliminates rework. The shocking truth: Toyota averages 2,000 Andon pulls per day and celebrates every one. How construction can apply the same principle without slowing down production. Why leadership's reaction to an Andon call defines your culture more than any mission statement. Jason and Kevin break down real examples from Toyota's factory floors, powerful analogies from the field, and practical steps to bring Jidoka to your own teams, so quality isn't inspected in at the end, it's protected from the start.

What happens when two builders visit the birthplace of Lean and realize it's not just a system, it's a way of living? In this powerful and emotional episode, recorded live from Haneda Airport in Tokyo, Jason Schroeder and Kevin reflect on their life-changing journey through Japan with Paul Akers' Two Second Lean Study Tour. What started as a professional training trip turned into something much deeper, a rediscovery of purpose, humanity, and what it truly means to lead. Jason shares how Japan didn't just refine his understanding of Lean, it healed it. From Toyota's leadership philosophies to the culture's deep respect for people, he found a nation that values consideration, alignment, and connection. For Jason, the revelation was personal: “I feel whole. I finally found a place where kindness isn't weakness, it's the standard.” Kevin opens up about his own transformation, from learning new tools to completely rethinking leadership and fatherhood. Inspired by Japan's shoulder-to-shoulder culture, he now sees that leadership isn't about sending people off to figure it out, it's about walking beside them. In this episode, you'll learn: Why the true power of Lean begins with love and respect for people. How Japan's “Gemba-first” mindset reshapes leadership and humility. The lessons from Toyota executives that every builder should hear. How a simple app and mindset shift rebuilt Kevin's productivity and peace. Why real leadership at work or home means standing shoulder to shoulder. This isn't just a recap of a trip. It's a blueprint for becoming whole again as leaders, as parents, as people.

What if your construction site had two gates, one for entry, and one for alignment? In this electrifying episode recorded live from Kyoto, Jason Schroeder takes lessons from ancient Japanese castle design and transforms them into a modern leadership framework every builder needs to hear. Drawing from the Masu Gata (a defensive courtyard designed to trap intruders) and the Genkan (the sacred entryway of every Japanese home), Jason reveals a radical truth: your morning worker huddle is your Genkan - the moment that separates chaos from flow, and disunity from one team. You'll hear powerful lessons from Japan's culture of respect, Toyota's leadership philosophy, and a story of how one former Lexus CEO explained why Suzuki fell while Toyota rose. It all comes down to loving the Gemba people , the workers and creating a jobsite culture where no one walks in unaligned. In this episode, you'll learn: Why Japan's entry rituals can revolutionize your project culture. How to protect your team from “enemies of alignment”. The real reason every job must have a morning worker huddle. How two gates can prevent disrespect, chaos, and safety risks. Why loving and training your Gemba people is the ultimate leadership act. This isn't just about construction, it's about honor, respect, and discipline. Step into the Genkan. Leave your shoes and your ego at the door.   If you like the Elevate Construction podcast, please subscribe for free and you'll never miss an episode.  And if you really like the Elevate Construction podcast, I'd appreciate you telling a friend (Maybe even two

Most projects bleed money and time long before the first worker lifts a tool. The problem isn't the field, it's the logistics. In this eye-opening episode, recorded live from Japan on Paul Akers' Two-Second Lean trip, Jason reveals what Toyota, Lexus, and top-performing DPR projects all have in common: they don't manage waste, they design it out before it ever reaches the jobsite. Discover how a single shift in thinking from “cut it and toss it” to “build it right upstream” can eliminate overproduction, motion, transport, and rework across your supply chain. Hear the true story of a lab project that cut waste by 30%, the kaizen lesson that stunned Toyota engineers, and why framing crews should never have to haul, cut, or fix bulk materials again. If you're serious about lean logistics, reducing worker overburden, and building flow into your operations from procurement to placement, this episode is a masterclass. Listen in to learn: The hidden waste your logistics system creates every day. How Toyota thinks upstream to prevent chaos downstream. Why cutting waste on-site is already too late. Simple, proven ways to pre-cut, pre-kit, and pre-plan for flow. How to protect your crews from burnout, waste, and unevenness. Stop fixing symptoms. Start designing flow.

Most managers don't actually manage people. They manage tasks. They tell. They correct. They rarely coach. That's the difference between a boss people tolerate and a leader people trust. When you learn how to coach and mentor someone, everything changes. You build loyalty and develop people who think for themselves. This week's lesson shares a simple four-step framework to help you manage people more effectively through better communication and growth. If you lead a team, you'll recognize yourself in this one. If you've ever felt frustrated trying to motivate someone who just isn't getting it, this will show you why. It's not about pushing harder. It's about coaching smarter. At first, you'll wonder why you haven't been doing these steps all along. Then, you can take action, or even manage upward, to start maximizing your team's enjoyment and performance!

On Healthy Waves, host Avik Chakraborty sits down with Saw K. Myint—a Burmese-Australian finance professional and property developer—to unpack a Buddhist, science-aligned approach to self-mental healthcare. We get practical on non-attachment, moment-to-moment awareness, and why most feelings are reflections of the past—useful signals, not life sentences. This direct, toolbox-style conversation covers stress, depression, addiction, grief, aging, and resilience with clear, repeatable practices you can apply today. Perfect for listeners seeking evidence-aware mindfulness, mental clarity, and steady leadership in messy real life. About the guest  : Saw K. Myint is a Burmese-Australian mother of two, CPA-qualified finance broker, and property developer. Grounded in Buddhist teachings and everyday pragmatism, she helps people steady their minds with accessible, fact-of-life practices—no dogma, no fluff. Key takeaways: Feelings are real but lagging indicators. Because mind–body processes shift rapidly, most emotions reflect memory, imagination, or reflection rather than the live present. Non-attachment isn't apathy. You still feel joy and pain; you simply don't cling. Good and bad states don't last, so act without over-identifying. Practical reset for stress/depression/addiction: Name the urge or state precisely. Ask what it aims to achieve and for how long the relief would last. Compare benefits vs. costs (health, freedom, relationships). Return attention to the next right action you can do now. Grief with responsibility. Care fully while loved ones are here; when they pass, release guilt and honor impermanence by continuing to live well. Leadership edge: Non-attachment reduces reactivity, widens options, and supports calm decision-making under pressure. For elders and caregivers: Recognizing “this too passes” reduces loneliness and softens expectations, creating peace in later years. For disability and neurodiversity contexts: Lead with respect and sameness—we all “play catch-up” with our perceptions. Daily micro-practice: During any spike (anger, craving, worry), pause–label–evaluate–act. Keep it short; repeat often.

The dollar has been one of America's most powerful weapons and a major source of global influence, in ways few fully realize. It doesn't just shape trade and finance; it also gives the U.S. a unique window into the world's financial flows. But what if that power is beginning to slip? Harvard's Ken Rogoff examines the mounting pressures that could threaten the dollar's supremacy — and reveals how a cornerstone of U.S. power could also become its Achilles' heel.

House Republican leadership has made it clear that they will not whip votes against the discharge petition to force a public release of Jeffrey Epstein–related government files. Majority Whip Tom Emmer confirmed that leadership has no plans to pressure members either way, calling it a “non-issue” since discharge petitions are privileged motions handled outside typical party control. This effectively means GOP lawmakers are free to vote their conscience without fear of reprisal. The decision also shields Republican leadership from accusations of obstructing transparency while quietly maintaining political distance from the controversy.Critics note that while GOP leadership avoids direct opposition, Speaker Mike Johnson has effectively stalled the process by delaying the swearing-in of the 218th member whose signature would trigger the petition. This move has frustrated both parties, with members like Thomas Massie urging colleagues to stand up for public disclosure of Epstein's files. The GOP's refusal to whip votes, combined with procedural delays, reflects a broader balancing act—signaling openness to transparency while quietly managing political fallout from one of Washington's most radioactive subjects.to contact  me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:House GOP won't break precedent to whip against Epstein files bill
