In this solo episode, I pull back the curtain on everything happening inside the Dad Edge ecosystem as we close out January and head into February. If your marriage feels disconnected, your health slipped during the holidays, or you've been looking for real skills—not motivation—this episode lays out exactly what's available and how to plug in.   I share my own story of marriage struggle, why only a small percentage of couples truly feel connected, and how becoming a student of marriage completely changed the trajectory of my relationship. From February's marriage-focused tactical agenda inside the Dad Edge Alliance, to the 1st Phorm 8-week challenge, to major announcements around preview calls and the Men's Forge event, this episode is about clarity, opportunity, and intentional action for men who want their marriage and leadership to look different in 2026.     Timeline Summary: [0:00] Keeping the blooper and why imperfection matters in fatherhood [1:35] Larry reflects on the first 10–12 years of marriage struggles [2:27] When marriage turns into co-parenting and roommate syndrome [3:07] Becoming a student of marriage and why things finally changed [3:27] Only 12% of marriages report deep connection [3:52] Introducing the Dad Edge ecosystem [4:11] Overview of the Dad Edge Alliance [4:50] February tactical agenda inside the Alliance [5:09] Why February always focuses on marriage skills [5:28] Week 1: Attraction, identity, and masculine presence [6:11] Week 2: Leading without chasing or needy energy [6:35] Week 3: Boundaries that create desire [6:55] Week 4: Emotional safety and attraction [7:39] Why February is the best month to join the Alliance [8:01] Roommates to Soulmates cohort selling out quickly [8:41] Holiday weight gain and the need for a physical reset [9:01] 1st Phorm Dad Edge 8-week challenge overview [9:42] Challenge dates and community support [10:19] January Dad Edge 1st Phorm Dad of the Month recognition [11:01] Alliance preview call announcement [11:24] What men will learn on the preview call [12:17] Moving away from social media noise [14:06] Men's Forge 2026 announcement [14:51] Why this event is different [15:41] Where to find all links and next steps [16:04] Gratitude and closing encouragement     Five Key Takeaways Most men were never taught how to lead a marriage, which is why skill-building—not willpower—creates change. Attraction in marriage evolves, and men must adapt leadership, presence, and identity. Boundaries and emotional safety create desire, not chasing or people-pleasing. Physical health fuels confidence and leadership, especially inside marriage. Community accelerates growth, when men commit to accountability and action.     Links & Resources: Dad Edge Alliance (Marriage, Parenting, Health, Leadership): https://thedadedge.com/alliance Dad Edge Alliance Preview Call: https://thedadedge.com/preview 1st Phorm Dad Edge 8-Week Challenge: https://1stphorm.com/dadedge Men's Forge 2026 Event: https://themensforge.com All Episode Resources: https://thedadedge.com/1431     Closing Remark Gentlemen, if you want your marriage, health, and leadership to look different in 2026, this is your moment to engage.

Martin Solveig, c'est bien plus qu'une carrière musicale hors normes.C'est aussi une trajectoire de vie, faite de choix assumés, de renoncements nécessaires… et d'un couple qui s'est construit dans le mouvement.Dans cet épisode un peu particulier, j'ai proposé à Martin de venir accompagné de son épouse, Léa. Ensemble, ils croisent leurs regards sur ce que cela signifie vraiment de durer quand on vit à cent à l'heure, quand la scène, les tournées et la création occupent une place immense, et quand l'équilibre se joue souvent loin des projecteurs.On parle de leur vie à deux, de la manière dont ils se soutiennent sans jamais vraiment travailler ensemble, des compromis invisibles, des décisions structurantes, et de cette nécessité de se réinventer au fil des années.Ils racontent aussi l'impact de la célébrité sur le quotidien, le rapport au temps, à la fatigue, à la famille, et ce moment charnière où Martin décide de fermer un chapitre pour en ouvrir un autre.Au-delà de la musique, cet épisode explore la créativité, l'audio comme média d'avenir, la transmission, et ce que ça implique de penser sa carrière sur le long terme, à deux.Une conversation rare, sincère, parfois drôle, parfois très lucide, qui donne à voir l'envers du décor d'une réussite… vécue en couple.Je vous laisse découvrir ma conversation avec Martin Solveig et Léa.Bonne écoute ✨Chapitrage00:00 – Introduction03:40 – Les débuts : tomber dans la musique presque par hasard09:20 – Faire ses preuves dans un milieu ultra-compétitif15:30 – Le rapport au succès et aux attentes du public22:10 – Pourquoi durer est plus difficile que réussir29:40 – Discipline, solitude et rigueur quotidienne37:50 – Dire non : un superpouvoir sous-estimé45:30 – La pression de l'industrie musicale52:10 – Créer sans s'épuiser : protéger son énergie59:40 – Le regard sur la célébrité et le temps qui passe1:00:00 – Le crible du podcast1:13:10 – L'équilibre entre vie personnelle et créationNotes et références de l'épisode ✨ Pour retrouver Martin Solveig : Sur InstagramSur YouTubeSur SpotifySur Apple Music✨ Pour retrouver Alma Studio : Sur leur siteSur l'Apple StoreSur Google PlaySur YouTubeSur InstagramSur SpotifySur Apple Podcast✨ Pour retrouver les livres cités dans l'épisodeMartin Eden de Jack London✨ Pour retrouver les films cités dans l'épisodePerfect Days, de Wim WendersLes Ailes du désir de Wim WendersLes films de David Fincher#martinsolveig #podcastfrançais #créationartistique #succès #longévité #discipline #libertécréative #industriemusicale #musiqueélectronique#parcoursinspirant #créateurs #mindset #équilibredevie #artiste #réussitedurableVous pouvez consulter notre politique de confidentialité sur https://art19.com/privacy ainsi que la notice de confidentialité de la Californie sur https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

“A slow season in the market doesn't mean your purpose is paused. It means your leadership is being refined.” — Dr. Darnyelle Jervey Harmon This episode is powered by The Ascension Archetype Quiz. When the market feels unpredictable, many CEOs misdiagnose the problem. They think they need a new funnel, a new hire, or a new niche—but what they really need is a new frequency. If you've been pivoting out of panic, tightening your offers, or questioning your calling, this episode will feel like a deep exhale. You'll learn why external instability always surfaces internal misalignment—and why your next breakthrough won't come from reacting faster, but from regulating deeper. We'll explore the difference between reactive leadership and resonant leadership, and how to lead from the truth of who you are when the world around you is moving too fast to catch your breath. If you've been feeling like growth is slowing, clients are hesitating, and your old playbook isn't landing the way it used to, this conversation will reorient you. We are not in a "figure it out and force it" economy. We are in a “be it and embody it” era—and this episode unlocks the exact calibration high-level entrepreneurs must make to stay relevant, safe, and successful as the external landscape continues to change. This isn't about tactics. It's about leadership identity, soul leadership, and how to stay in integrity with your mission even when the market doesn't respond how you expect. The most dangerous thing a 7-figure CEO can do right now? Keep leading like it's 2021. Here's the truth: The real gap isn't in your strategy—it's in your state. Market uncertainty isn't a threat. It's a mirror. And what it's reflecting back is the need for a new way of leading—one that integrates your divine design, not overrides it. If you're looking for a permission slip to slow down, realign, and lead powerfully, this is it. You'll walk with he clarity to stop chasing “what's working” and start becoming the kind of leader who transcends market cycles. You'll understand how to lead with presence, why your personal alignment matters more than ever, and how to shift from reactive fear to embodied faith.  Grab your Move to Millions Podcast Notebook, a pen and your favorite beverage and listen in to discover: ✔ How to lead in a market that no longer rewards performance-based leadership ✔ How to shift from reactive offers to spiritually-aligned client attraction ✔ How to discern if your slowdown is divine strategy or fear in disguise ✔And so much more This episode is a call to Legacy-Led CEOs who have begun doubting themselves because the market isn't behaving. If you've internalized the slowdown, if you've lost confidence in your message or your momentum, this episode reaffirms your spiritual authority in the business space. You are not failing—the market is evolving. And you get to evolve with it, from alignment, not anxiety. This is your invitation to stop trying to control the market and start understanding what it's revealing. Listen in to reconnect with your inner compass, realign your leadership, and rise above the noise with spiritual strategy and embodied presence. Because scaling in this season isn't about doing more—it's about being more anchored.

It just called you higher.” “The way you hold leadership in uncertainty determines how long you stay in it.” “Just because the external is unclear doesn't mean your internal has to be.” “You don't need to respond to pressure with panic. You can respond with presence.” “Your clients don't need a new offer. They need a more regulated you.” Questions to Ask Yourself While Listening: Where have I been adjusting my strategy out of fear instead of faith? What parts of my leadership identity are out of sync with how I'm showing up? How is the market's volatility triggering my internal instability? What am I making this season mean about me? What would change if I trusted that this slowdown is a sacred setup?   Want more of Darnyelle?

You're already walking the floor. Now it might carry you. We welcome back longtime friend of the podcast John Wilson of Sunrise Dental Lab, returning for the first time since 2021—and this time as a fellow podcaster himself. What starts as a warm reunion quickly turns into a deep, honest conversation about passion, purpose, integrity, and what it really takes to survive (and stay sane) in today's dental lab world. John reflects on the evolution of his lab, sharing why he made the intentional decision not to chase endless growth, but instead to protect his team, his values, and his love for the craft. He talks candidly about “yesterday thinking,” adapting to digital dentistry without abandoning fundamentals, and why aligning with the right clients—not just more clients—changed everything. The discussion dives into what true lab–doctor partnerships look like, why trust is earned (not given), and how saying “no” can sometimes be the most powerful business decision you make. John also explains why single units matter just as much as full-arch cases, how education keeps technicians relevant, and why racing to the bottom on price is a losing game. Later, the conversation turns personal as John shares the inspiration behind his new solo podcast, Margins & Meaning—a storytelling-driven project created to document his journey, connect with technicians who feel alone, and leave something meaningful behind for the next generation. He opens up about legacy, creativity, fear, change, and why being heard matters just as much as having something to say.

 With host retail coach Wendy Batten   https://wendybatten.com/podcast-intro/   Episode Overview Many shop owners lead with good intentions, but being nice instead of kind can quietly create resentment, burnout, and instability in a retail business. In this episode, I'm exploring a distinction that quietly shapes many retail businesses: the difference between being nice and being kind. While niceness can feel good in the moment, it often leads to avoidance, resentment, and exhaustion over time. Kind leadership, by contrast, is clear, fair, and professional, and it supports long term trust and sustainability. I'll walk you through how this shows up in real retail situations, including team management, pricing decisions, inventory buying, customer boundaries, and personal time and energy. These are everyday moments where shop owners often default to being nice, even when it costs them their boundaries. You'll come away with a clearer understanding of how leading with kindness protects your business, your team, and YOU, and how small shifts in leadership can reduce burnout and resentment. Our Key Topics The difference between being nice and being kind in retail leadership How niceness shows up with staff, feedback, and underperformance Pricing decisions, discounting, and apologizing for prices Inventory buying influenced by customers, reps, or fear of disappointing others Customer boundaries, policies, and professionalism Time, energy, and the cost of always saying yes The Difference Between Nice and Kind in Leadership Being nice often avoids conflict but creates long term resentment and burnout. Kind leadership is clear, consistent, and professional, even when conversations are hard. Proper pricing and margins are an act of kindness to your business and its future. Boundaries with staff and customers create fairness and predictability. Saying 'no' in the right moments protects your energy and your role as leader.   "Kind leadership will not ask you to sacrifice yourself." -Wendy Batten Your next step?

In this episode of Do The Work | Mindset Mastery, I want to talk about something that weighs heavier than most people realize and that is the responsibility and guilt that can come with leadership advice and influence. There are moments where my mind feels full because leadership is not just about business decisions. It is about people. It is about hearing their struggles, their finances, their marriages, their health, and still being expected to show up strong. For years I tried to avoid leadership because I thought it was easier to just tell people what to do. What I learned is that real leadership is about empowering others to trust themselves and take ownership of their decisions. One of the hardest lessons I had to learn was separating advice from responsibility. When you give advice based on your experience, it comes from integrity. It comes from wanting others to avoid pain or move faster toward growth. But when someone takes that advice, the outcome is not yours to carry. If you take responsibility for their results, good or bad, you actually disempower them and yourself. I lived this lesson firsthand. After financial failures early in my life, I stopped trusting my own judgment. I leaned on Carla to make decisions and then blamed her when things did not work out. That resentment damaged trust and weakened me as a leader and as a husband. Advice only becomes toxic when it is used as a scapegoat instead of a guide. I realized that advice is information, not a guarantee. It is up to the person receiving it to make it their own and see it through. If they quit at the first obstacle, it becomes easy to call it bad advice. But most growth happens after things get uncomfortable. Everything meaningful in my life got harder before it got better. Marriage. Business. Leadership. Faith. I have given advice about quitting jobs, maxing out credit cards, betting on yourself, and rebuilding relationships. I share what I did, not what someone should do. Leaders mirror what people already feel in their heart and soul. The danger comes when someone wants the result without the responsibility of seeing the process through. Guilt can destroy momentum if you let it sit unchecked. I carried guilt for years over borrowed money, failed ventures, and hard decisions. What finally freed me was understanding that time and integrity bring everything full circle. Debts get paid. Relationships heal. Growth happens. But only if you stay in it long enough. As leaders, parents, and mentors, our job is not to control outcomes. Our job is to speak truth from experience and allow others to take ownership of their choices. And if you are on the receiving end of advice, your responsibility is not to blame but to commit and see it through. Reader reflection questions Where in your life are you blaming advice instead of owning your decision What advice have you taken but not fully committed to seeing through How would your growth change if you released guilt and focused on responsibility Notable quotes "You cannot take responsibility for the outcome of someone else's decision." "Advice is not a guarantee. It is information." "Everything meaningful gets harder before it gets better."   1.

“Send Coach John a message”Love finding things that help keep my soul on fire… these posts that I find are really things that fire me up! From Mindful Maven (@mindfulmaven_)  Its a reminder for all of us to “Trust the process. Always remember that… You can have the worst days of your life and a few weeks later you can have the best day of your life. Keep pushing through.”  This is something that hits me hard when I reflect on it - and truthfully I do have a bit more time to reflect now a days. It get me thinking about how proud of my little 8 year old self would be of my 59 year old self.  That 8 year old is part of me and has been since I was that age. I do have plenty to be proud of that I have pushed through and not given up. It helps me to also connect with Seek Wiser (@SeekWiser_) that shared this: “Hardest thing right now is, finding people with pure intentions”  Part of our process needs to keep focusing in doing the right thing. Not only for our lives and the people we love, but our communities / country / the world!  My little 8 year old self has been in the front row seeing all the good and bad I've done. I need to do more of what is right in living my life. Great stuff for all of us to connect with.  Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/   on Twitter / “X”:  @coachtosuccess   and on Instagram at:  @coachjohndaly  - My YouTube Channel is at: Coach John Daly.   Email me at: CoachJohnDalyPodcast@gmail.com     You can also head on over to https://www.coachtoexpectsuccess.com/ and get in touch with me there on my homepage along with checking out my Top Book list too.  Other things there on my site are being worked on too.  Please let me know that you are reaching out to me from my podcast.  ** I would appreciate anyone to try clicking on the top of the show notes where it says "Send us a text" to leave a few thoughts / comments / questions.  It's a new feature that I'd like to see how it works. **

“Send Coach John a message”Found another fabulous learning moment from The Mindfulness Meditation Institute (@TrainingMindful) and it's all about Learning! They shared this and it's 7 words long:  “Be open to learn, unlearn and relearn.”  Learning is something I know I want to do every single thing I can to keep learning things, picking up things and growing with those things I find. There is plenty I know I need to unlearn for sure. What I need to do is to make sure the things I relearn are good things. I know for sure that ALL OF US need to unlearn a lot of things (especially what is going on in our country, today of this recording 1-24-26) AND THEN, we need to relearn so many things that will be good for ALL OF US. The thing is, throughout ALL of history, humans have had trouble with things like how we treat each other. I think NOW is the time for us to learn and put into play these lessons. Come on people, we are smart enough to do that!!  Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/   on Twitter / “X”:  @coachtosuccess   and on Instagram at:  @coachjohndaly  - My YouTube Channel is at: Coach John Daly.   Email me at: CoachJohnDalyPodcast@gmail.com     You can also head on over to https://www.coachtoexpectsuccess.com/ and get in touch with me there on my homepage along with checking out my Top Book list too.  Other things there on my site are being worked on too.  Please let me know that you are reaching out to me from my podcast.  ** I would appreciate anyone to try clicking on the top of the show notes where it says "Send us a text" to leave a few thoughts / comments / questions.  It's a new feature that I'd like to see how it works. ** 

What if the turning point in your health wasn't a new treatment… but you deciding to lead your own care? What followed was a decade-long pivot from chronic endometriosis and medical dismissal to patient-led healing, a purpose-driven career, and a growth framework blending physiology with psychology. Amy Lenius, Director of Group Coaching at Next Level University and certified personal development coach, shares the compounding choices that changed everything: building a multi-modal care team, removing endocrine disruptors, and swapping miracle fixes for small wins that last. She reveals how functional testing uncovers what “normal ranges” miss and why self-advocacy can be life-saving when systems don't listen.The conversation turns from health to human behaviour. Amy breaks down the difference between self-belief (can I?) and self-worth (do I deserve it?), showing why strategy fails when either is low. She introduces four archetypes, Hero, Victim, Villain, and Guide, to reframe how we lead, coach, and love without burning out. The shift from Hero to Guide changes everything: opens the door, holds the standard, stops dragging people who don't want to walk. We also talk about motivation profiles, growth-oriented vs relationship-oriented, and how to design habits that align with who you are, not who you're told to be.There's also a bold life redesign. Amy and her family moved across Canada for space, nature, and a values-aligned rhythm. Planning replaced panic, community replaced scarcity, and self-awareness became the compass. If you've ever felt stuck by a diagnosis, a job, a town, or your own timeline, this story offers a map: learn your body, learn your mind, audit your environment, and stack tiny, honest wins. Share this with someone who needs a nudge to choose the next right step. Then tell us: which archetype do you default to, and what would Guide mode change for you?https://www.nextleveluniverse.com/group-coaching/Send BEHAS a text.Support the showTo Share - Connect & Relate: Share Your Thoughts and Shape the Show!

Tithing isn't a side note in Scripture. It runs through the covenants, from Abraham's promise, to Moses' process, to Jesus' covenant that gives us the power to obey and then to share the blessing. Tithing isn't merely an Old Testament command; it is clearly addressed in the New Testament.

In this episode of Designed for the Creative Mind, I'm sitting down with Natalie Froom, founder and principal designer of Studio 180 Design. Natalie and I go way back—she came through the Interior Design Business Bakery shortly after the pandemic, back when she lovingly calls herself a "baby designer." Fast forward to now, and she's running a growing studio with a team, a refined process, and big plans for the future. This conversation is one of those full-circle moments I absolutely love. We talk about how Natalie's background in psychology and nutrition led her to interior design, how wellness and environment are deeply connected, and how her business (and confidence) evolved over time. If you're a designer who's still figuring out your niche, your process, or your next level—this one is for you.  In This Episode, We Talk About: How Natalie's background in psychology, nutrition, and wellness naturally led her into interior design The connection between mental, physical, and environmental wellbeing (and why it matters in design) Finding your niche by doing the work—and letting your projects guide you Why Natalie focuses on busy, high-level professionals who want a true turnkey experience The importance of process over "just talent" when growing a design business How collaboration (not competition) elevates design and the industry as a whole Balancing beauty with practicality—creating homes that are both elevated and livable Why Natalie believes personality matters more than a rigid design "style" Growing from a solo designer into a team-based, scalable business Looking ahead: international growth, team expansion, and better work-life balance Natalie's journey is such a powerful reminder that you don't have to have everything figured out on day one. Your niche can evolve. Your process can be refined. Your vision can grow bigger than you ever imagined. What matters most is building a solid foundation, staying open to learning, and allowing yourself to grow into the designer—and business owner—you're meant to be. If you've ever felt like you were "behind," unsure of your style, or still finding your footing, I really think this episode will resonate with you. Watching Natalie step into her confidence, refine her process, and build a business that truly supports her life is exactly why I do this work. This conversation is proof that when you focus on process, collaboration, and intention, growth follows—both creatively and professionally. If this episode sparked something for you, I'd love for you to reflect on where you are in your own journey and what your next evolution might look like.   Fix the Leaks: The Hidden Places Your Business Is Quietly Losing Time & Money https://www.addevent.com/event/qjrn64tbm77l   How to Price Your Design Services with Confidence https://thedesignbakehouse.com/pricing-workshop     More about Natalie:  Design is Natalie's lifelong passion, where crafting exquisite interiors is an art of precision.

On this episode of The Lead On Podcast, Jeff Iorg, president of the SBC Executive Committee, follows up on why ministry is so challenging by laying out four big-picture practices for staying healthy under pressure. He urges leaders to see ministry as real work done among sinful but redeemable people, to refuse cynicism, to respond to rising demands with more Bible, prayer, and rest as they persevere in difficult seasons.

I am a public philosopher, it is my only job. I am enabled to do this job, in large part, thanks to support from my listeners and readers. You can support my work, keep it independent and online, at https://stoicismpod.com/members Looking for more Stoic content? Consider my 3x/week newsletter "Stoic Brekkie": https://stoicbrekkie.com The Iris Council: https://iriscouncil.com In this episode, I focus on the Stoic virtue of Justice and why it matters so urgently right now. Justice, in Stoicism, is not about legality or compliance with the law. It is about fairness. When we confuse what is legal with what is just, we risk excusing serious wrongdoing simply because it has been ratified by those in power. I explain why laws themselves can be unjust, especially when they are created or enforced by leaders who are not acting as protectors and benefactors of their people. If a law is out of alignment with what is fair, then the injustice lies with the law, not with those who recognize its unfairness. This is where Stoicism demands courage rather than passive acceptance. To ground this discussion, I turn to Musonius Rufus and his lecture On That Kings Too Should Practice Philosophy. Musonius argues that rulers must study philosophy because only philosophy teaches justice, self-control, courage, and rational judgment. A good king must be a good person, and a good person, by necessity, is a philosopher. Leadership without moral wisdom is not merely flawed; it is dangerous. I then broaden the lens to our responsibility as Stoics. Stoicism is not withdrawal or indifference. It is rational engagement with the world. The Cardinal Virtues work together: courage enables just action, temperance guides when to act, justice clarifies what is fair, and wisdom grounds us in our role as social beings. Leaders who divide humanity into “our kind” and “not our kind” fail this test of justice, regardless of what the law permits. Finally, I argue that our response to unjust leadership must itself be just. That requires self-examination. Before judging leaders, we must be capable of judging ourselves. A society that does not understand goodness cannot expect just leaders, and leaders drawn from such a society will reflect that confusion. What we need is not blind obedience or reckless outrage, but a serious moral recalibration rooted in Stoic philosophy. Listening on Spotify? Leave a comment! Share your thoughts.

Send us a textThe ground is shifting under our feet as AI moves from answering questions to taking action. We dig into what that transformation really means for leaders: how operating models evolve, where risk compounds, and what it takes to capture speed without inviting chaos. With Dr. Jamila Amimer, CEO of MindSenses Global and a recognized AI strategist, we unpack practical steps to go from pilots to production and build systems that are fast, reliable, and governed.We start by separating AI families—predictive, generative, and agentic—and why each demands a different approach to design, safety, and measurement. Dr. Amimer explains why spatial AI and the convergence with robotics will redefine context and capability, and how to prepare now without tossing out today's LLM investments. From domain expertise and humans in the loop to controlled knowledge bases and action approvals, we lay out the essential guardrails to minimize hallucinations, manage model drift, and avoid compounding errors at scale.Then we turn to the human layer. HR data becomes a strategic asset, revealing task flows and handoffs that inform agent orchestration. We talk through preserving meaning and motivation as agents absorb routine work, and how equitable upskilling—analytical thinking, data literacy, exception handling—keeps teams engaged and effective. Accountability and auditability aren't abstract; they're the difference between a clever demo and a trustworthy system your board will support.If you're ready to move beyond hype and design AI that plans, decides, and acts with confidence, this conversation gives you the operating principles to start today and scale tomorrow. If this resonated, follow the show, share it with a colleague who cares about AI governance, and leave a review so we can reach more leaders building responsibly.Thanks for tuning in to this episode of Follow The Brand!

Send us a textEver pulled a 12 that turned into 14 because relief never came? We open the curtain on Air Force Security Forces and talk frankly about what keeps people in the beret—and what drives them out. From the missile field to the flight line to the range, we map the real forces that shape careers: schedules that never sleep, recalls that erase off-duty life, and the constant whiplash between boredom and chaos that only cops understand.We dig into the culture clashes that define the unit from the inside. Flight carries the grind—gates, patrols, reports, QC—while back office runs calendars, awards, and admin. That gap can warp incentives, sending strong patrolmen chasing stable hours instead of operational growth. Then there are the prestige sections: K9's unique mission with its own skill demands, Raven's tight community and travel perks that draw both admiration and side-eye, and CADM's critical training role that can feel insulated from flight. Each path offers real value and real tradeoffs, including promotion ceilings if you stay too long in a niche without deliberate rotation.Leadership is the hinge. The best leaders enforce standards, build fair schedules, and make sure recognition matches output. The worst pick the hardest option by default and forget the admin that makes careers—bullets, awards, and time for development. We share firsthand wins and misses, including the higher standard placed on defenders after off-duty mistakes and how that shapes trust. Still, the Defender identity forges resilient people; many of the Air Force's strongest first sergeants, group chiefs, and command chiefs grew up on flight.If you've ever asked whether you'd recommend SF to someone today, this conversation gives you the honest calculus: what you gain in discipline, composure, and leadership, and what it costs in time, predictability, and patience. If this resonated, tap follow, share it with a Defender, and drop a comment with the one change that would keep more cops in uniform.

Hi friend — welcome back to The Habit Within. I'm Camille Kinzler, and today's episode is one of the most personal reflections I've shared in a long time.This conversation was born out of my Word of the Year — courage — and the very real, very uncomfortable ways it's been showing up in my life. Not as boldness. Not as fearlessness. But as the courage to be more authentically myself.To follow my intuition.To honor my nudges.To use my voice differently.To stop performing and start leading from alignment.And that's what this episode is really about:What does it mean to lead without armor? Without ego. Without performance. Without needing to be right, liked, or approved of.In this episode, I explore:Why courage isn't about being louder — it's about being more honestHow my Word of the Year has been confronting me dailyWhat it means to lead with your voice — not to fill space, but to create meaningThe difference between reactive courage and intentional courageWhy leadership rooted in intuition feels different than leadership rooted in controlThe four pillars of authentic leadership:Self-awareness — understanding your triggers, patterns, and motivationsAccountability — owning your choices without needing consensusVulnerability — leading without armor or egoPositive mindset — holding vision without denying realityThis episode is about becoming, not performing. About choosing truth over approval. About learning to trust yourself through discomfort. About letting your voice come from presence instead of protection.Authentic leadership doesn't ask you to be more impressive.It asks you to be more you.Big TakeawaysCourage without awareness becomes reaction.Awareness turns courage into choice.Leadership doesn't require certainty — it requires honesty.Vulnerability builds trust more than perfection ever will.You don't need armor to lead — you need alignment.Authentic leadership begins the moment you stop performing.A reflection for youWhere in your life are you performing instead of leading?Where are you staying quiet instead of being honest?Where are you choosing comfort over truth?If this episode resonates, I'd love to hear from you.

Play audio-only episode | Play on YouTube | Play on Spotify Episode Summary Project requirements rarely change because teams lack discipline. More often, change starts long before a project manager ever joins the work. Early product decisions define priorities, assumptions, and constraints that quietly shape delivery outcomes. In this conversation, Cornelius Fichtner speaks with Lee Fischman about why project managers so often inherit projects that feel impossible and how product thinking influences what gets built, how success is defined, and how much flexibility exists when reality shifts. The discussion connects product management, project execution, and leadership behavior, showing how unclear intent, untested value assumptions, and early commitments lead to ongoing requirement changes later in delivery.

Flexible Leadership: Why Rigid Leaders Fail in an Uncertain World The world has changed. Leadership has to change with it. In this episode, I'm joined by Kevin Eikenberry, one of the most influential leadership thinkers today and author of Flexible Leadership: Navigate Uncertainty and Lead with Confidence. We unpack why the leadership approaches that worked in the past often break down in today's complex, fast-moving environment. Kevin explains why great leaders must stay consistent in values but flexible in how they lead, and why treating every challenge as a crisis leads to bad decisions. We dive into real-world examples, including when command-and-control leadership works, when it fails, and how context should drive your leadership approach. We also explore: Why “leadership style” can become a trap The difference between complicated, complex, and chaotic situations How flexible leaders improve their odds without losing trust Why mindset matters more than tools or techniques How habits, not intentions, determine leadership effectiveness If you're leading people through uncertainty, change, or growth, this conversation will challenge how you think about leadership and give you a better way forward.

The ground keeps moving and the old playbook can't keep up. We pulled back the curtain on our 2026 Leadership Reality Report and walked through the intel leaders are using to make faster, smarter decisions without perfect visibility—because waiting for certainty is the new risk.We start with the three realities shaping every org we work with: volatility that scrambles supply chains, policy, and tech; versatility as a non-negotiable demand across roles; and ambiguity that forces choices before the “right answer” even exists. From there, we map the four leadership priorities that actually convert chaos into progress. Adaptive velocity is first: changing at speed and scale, with tighter decision cycles and empowered teams. Human connectivity comes next: building trust, safety, and shared mission so dispersed teams generate real idea collisions and flag issues early. Then ecosystem vision: thinking beyond silos to orchestrate value across functions, partners, and platforms. Finally, efficient execution: eliminating noise, focusing on high-leverage activities, and protecting capacity so priorities ship.You'll hear fresh stats, perspective from top executives, and a clear path to brief your org with a ready-to-use deck and upcoming webinar. Use this preview to audit your team: Which skills are strong? Where are the gaps? What will you stop, start, and scale over the next quarter to move faster with less noise and more alignment?If this conversation helps you think sharper about 2026, follow the show, share it with your team, and leave a review so more leaders can find it.

Any effective implementation of leadership begins with believing in a set of grounded and guided principles, and you are committed to unwaveringly adopting them to cultivate the culture you desire.  According to The Barna Group, an evangelical Christian polling firm based in Ventura, California, Values Driven: Among Christian faith CEOs and Organizational leaders, 34% list religious faith as one of the top personal values influencing their leadership, often placing it alongside values like integrity and service.  Active Integration: While a large majority identify as religious, only about half (51%) of these "Faith-Forward" leaders report that their faith actively motivates their decision-making, while 25% say it is not a factor at all.  Dr. Michael Wright is a Christian leadership expert, executive coach, and speaker who helps leaders align faith, purpose, and strategy to create lasting impact. With decades of experience in organizational leadership, ministry development, and executive coaching, Michael equips pastors, nonprofit leaders, and professionals to lead with clarity, integrity, and effectiveness. Michael's work focuses on developing purpose-driven leaders, building healthy leadership systems, and helping organizations thrive while staying rooted in biblical values.

Our minds don't operate optimally if we are constantly bombarded with noise. Sometimes we just need to be quiet.

Most of us spend some part of our lives feeling bad about ourselves and wanting to feel better. But this preoccupation is a surprisingly new one in the history of the world, and can largely be traced back to one man: a rumpled, convertible-driving California state representative named John Vasconcellos who helped spark a movement that took over schools, board rooms, and social-service offices across America in the 1990s. This week, we look at the rise and fall of the self-esteem movement and ask: is it possible to raise your self-esteem? And is trying to do so even a good idea?Special thanks to big thank you to the University of California, Santa Barbara Library for use of audio material from their Humanistic Psychology Archives and to their staff for helping located so many audio recordings. EPISODE CREDITS: Reported by - Heather Radke and Matt Kielty Produced by - Matt KietlyFlute performance and compositions by -  Ben BatchelderVoiceover work by - Dann FinkFact-checking by - Anna Pujol-Mazzini and  Angely Mercadoand Edited by  - Pat WaltersEPISODE CITATIONS:Articles - UCSB Humanistic Psychology Archive (https://zpr.io/HfVjUmvcVevE)Books - Selfie: How We Became So Self-Obsessed and What It's Doing to Us (https://zpr.io/eGRyqz9zNQHu) by Will Storr.

“We are about proving ourselves right, not proving others wrong.” Marcus Jones  Super Bowl dreams are on the line. Before stepping onto the field for the AFC Championship, All-Pro Marcus Jones joins The Pivot Podcast for a raw, wide-ranging conversation about pressure, preparation, and purpose. Marcus breaks down what it really takes to perform when everything's at stake—mentally, physically, and emotionally. From his journey to this moment, to the mindset he's carrying into the biggest game of his career, nothing is off limits. He talks leadership, resilience, staying locked in through the noise, and what fuels him when the lights are brightest. Making history for the Patriots with an interception returned for a touchdown to help lead his team over the Houston Texans to land in the AFC championship, Marcus shares what it's like being underestimated as a defense, even calling out RC on his picks against them in a friendly banter egged on by Channing ofcourse! The guys talk about Cardi B's super fandom, Stefon Diggs' unique leadership qualities and how it's been building a team-first mentality under Coach Vrabel vs his rookie year lessons learned from Coach Belichick. Growing up in a military family that moved around, Marcus has had discipline at the core of everything he does as well as a family-first mentality, appreciating the sacrifices his father made for him and says becoming a young father himself, was pivotal, as he never wants to fail his son, who was recently diagnosed with Autism. This is more than football—it's about belief, sacrifice, and showing up when it matters most. Pivot Family, don't forget to like, comment and hit the subscribe button! We love hearing from you!
