Today is World Refugee Day so I thought it would be useful to catch up with someone who works with refugees every day, to remind ourselves of what leads someone to become a refugee and how we can best support them. Amina Abdulla is Regional Director for the Horn of Africa with Concern, and I really enjoyed learning about her work, as well as what keeps her going when funding is sinking and the work is tough.To support the podcast and access bonus episodes, join the community on Patreon here.Join us in Connolly's of Leap on July 17th!

Send us a textWhat happens when we break free from our reading comfort zones? Nita Creekmore, author of "Read Outside Your Bubble," returns to the Cultural Curriculum Chat podcast to explore this transformative question with host Jebeh Edmunds. Creekmore's journey began as a Black little girl rarely seeing herself represented in books. "Oftentimes Black little girls were like the little sidekick or the little friend and then they kind of were in and then out of the story," she recalls. This experience fueled her passion for diverse literature and eventually led to her creating the hashtag #ReadOutsideYourBubble, which evolved into both her educational philosophy and the title of her thought-provoking book.At the heart of Creekmore's approach is the LEAP framework: Learning (incorporating mirrors and windows), Equity (ensuring representation of marginalized stories), Accessibility (finding ways to obtain diverse books), and Purpose/Professional learning (intentional implementation). This comprehensive roadmap provides educators with practical strategies for building inclusive reading environments where all students feel seen and valued.For teachers hesitant to incorporate diverse literature, Creekmore suggests starting with interactive read-alouds. "I feel like a read aloud is like the bridge," she explains, recommending teachers prepare thoughtful discussion questions and create space for student connections. She emphasizes that diverse books benefit all students—not just those from marginalized backgrounds—by expanding worldviews and fostering empathy.Creekmore's wisdom extends beyond book selection to address classroom climate, offering insights on community building, professional learning through peer observation, and advocacy strategies like grant writing for book acquisition. Her approach balances scholarly understanding with practical implementation, making inclusive literature accessible to any educator willing to begin the journey.Follow Nita Creekmore @LoveTeachBless across social platforms and subscribe to her blog at www.love-teach-bless.com for ongoing inspiration as you expand your own reading bubble and help others do the same.

Navigating the CEO Journey: Expert Insights from Loic Potjes of Disruptive LeapIn this episode of The Thoughtful Entrepreneur, host Josh Elledge speaks with Loic Potjes, Founder and Managing Partner of Disruptive Leap. Loic brings decades of executive experience and coaching insight to the conversation, sharing what it really takes to lead effectively in today's high-pressure business environment. From managing overwhelm and isolation to enhancing team engagement and time mastery, this episode offers a powerful roadmap for CEOs and founders who want to lead with greater clarity, balance, and impact.The CEO's Challenge: Moving from Reactive to Intentional LeadershipLoic opens the conversation with a personal note—his love of wine and community, especially as part of a wine club in Johannesburg. For Loic, passion outside of work fosters connection and personal renewal—qualities that matter just as much in leadership. But when the topic turns to the realities of being a CEO, the tone gets deeper: leadership is often lonely, reactive, and draining.He explains how many CEOs find themselves overwhelmed, stuck in the busyness of daily operations, and losing clarity on what truly drives business growth. According to Loic, one of the most effective strategies for reclaiming purpose and focus is to transition from reactive task management to a proactive leadership rhythm. That starts with self-awareness: understanding what energizes you, what drains you, and how to build a team that fills your gaps. By making space for strategic thinking and empowering complementary teams, CEOs can realign with their zone of genius and free themselves from burnout.Loic also discusses the power of consistent communication and engagement. Disengaged teams, he notes, are a global epidemic—with only 8% of French employees reportedly feeling engaged. To counter this, CEOs must not only lead with clarity but also create environments where employees thrive. Engagement starts at the top, and Loic shares practical steps for CEOs to model intentional leadership while nurturing team motivation and accountability.About Loic PotjesLoic Potjes is the founder and managing partner of Disruptive Leap, where he coaches CEOs and executive teams to lead with clarity, resilience, and impact. Drawing from his extensive background in leadership, Loic helps clients unlock their potential, align their priorities, and scale both personal and professional growth.About Disruptive LeapDisruptive Leap is an executive coaching firm focused on helping CEOs and leadership teams transition from reactive management to high-impact, purpose-driven leadership.

In this bold and revealing episode, Jamie Shae welcomes interior designer and truth-teller Kami Gray, founder of The Psychologie of Home Design School. Together, they dive deep into what our homes reveal about our beliefs—and how women can stop second-guessing themselves and start designing the lives they're worthy of. From the unspoken rules that keep women playing small to the ways men are socially conditioned to leap without hesitation, this conversation unpacks the confidence gap that keeps women lingering in doubt, fear, and perfectionism. Kami shares how claiming beauty, power, and space in your environment can shift your identity at the root level. This isn't just about wallpaper or throw pillows—it's about worth, truth, bravery, and building a life that feels as good as it looks. If you've ever wondered why it feels easier for men to chase their dreams—and what it takes for women to finally go all in—this one's for you.

Today, we're incredibly excited to chat with rising star Aparna Brielle, whose career took flight just as the acting industry underwent one of its biggest transformations: the self-tape revolution.

Russia's brightest ballet star, Rudolf Nureyev, evaded his KGB minders and defected from the USSR on 16th June, 1961. According to feverish newspaper reports, the dancer dashed towards the barrier, proclaiming in English, "I want to be free," and was swiftly escorted to the airport police station, marking the start of his life in the West. His defection, while fraught with personal sacrifice - including a potential permanent separation from his family and homeland - became a major propaganda victory in the Cold War, highlighting the repressive nature of the Soviet regime. In this episode, The Retrospectors reveal how Nureyev's uncompromising dedication to artistic freedom clashed with Soviet norms; discover what his groupies used to chant outside the Stage Door in Covent Garden; and uncover Jerome Robbins' succinct description of his awesome talents… Further Reading: • ‘How Rudolf Nureyev danced to freedom' (The Guardian, 2014): https://www.theguardian.com/stage/dance-blog/2015/dec/14/rudolf-nureyev-dance-to-freedom-bbc-documentary-film • 'Rudolf Nureyev: from small steps to one giant leap' (Financial Times, 2015): https://www.ft.com/content/9fab8b22-9ce2-11e5-8ce1-f6219b685d74 • ‘Margot Fonteyn & Rudolf Nureyev Pas de Deux in LE CORSAIRE' (1962): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=79IYUS63agQ Love the show?

Today, we're picking up right where we left off with Petch Pietrolungo—climber, AMGA certified guide, free soloist, and the local legend of Lover's Leap in California.  If you missed part one of this conversation, I highly recommend heading back and starting there—it'll give you a deeper appreciation for where we're going today.In this second part, we dive into Petch's journey to becoming an AMGA-certified guide and how he launched Lover's Leap Guides back in 2003. We take a close look at stewardship—what it really means, why it matters, and how we all can contribute to protecting the places we climb, even if we're not out there building trails or replacing bolts.We also get into Petch's relationship with free soloing—not as some reckless pursuit, but as a practice that's deeply personal, calculated, and, in his case, something he attributes to saving his life. He walks us through what it takes to move through the mountains with that kind of confidence, including a mind-blowing day where he soloed 112 pitches… and how those skills and systems carry over into offering large days of climbing to his clients.Finally we close the conversation off with a deeply personal look into Petch's battle with alcoholism… how it impacted his life, and his decision to live sober and fully present moving forward----HELP SUPPORT THE SHOW & GET ACCESS TO EXCLUSIVE EPISODES!  For a little as $5/mo!----Don't forget to check out our full video episodes on Youtube!---The TCM movement is growing but we need your help to spread the word!

Just over five years ago, Joyce Santiago-Savage was jetting between the world's fashion capitals, sourcing the latest trends as a fashion buyer—until she walked away from it all to pursue her true calling: motivational speaking. - Higit limang taon pa lamang mula nang iwan ni Joyce Santiago-Savage ang marangyang buhay ng pagbiyahe at pamimili ng iba't ibang mga damit bilang fashion buyer, ipinagpalit niya ito para ituloy ang tunay niyang misyon: ang pagbibigay-lakas para sa iba.

Nick talks to the remarkable Allison Maslan, a world expert in building and scaling successful companies, about the core principles of entrepreneurship, drawing parallels between the challenges of scaling a business and the exhilarating experience of trapeze artistry, which Allison has practiced for 25 years. The conversation explores Allison's journey from growing up in an entrepreneurial family to starting her first business at 19, and the lessons learned along the way. They discuss the importance of having a strategic vision, understanding cash flow, and building a strong team culture, emphasising that effective leadership is crucial for scaling a business.  KEY TAKEAWAYS Embrace the Leap of Faith: Entrepreneurship often requires stepping out of your comfort zone, akin to a trapeze artist letting go of the bar. Facing fears can lead to increased confidence and growth in business. A clear and compelling strategic vision is crucial for guiding a business. Without it, teams may lack direction and alignment, leading to chaos and inefficiency. Understanding and managing cash flow is essential for business sustainability. Business owners should ensure they have a capable financial team that can grow with the company and provide accurate insights. A cohesive team aligned with the company's vision fosters a strong culture. This culture should be about shared values and mission rather than superficial perks, ensuring that employees feel invested in the business. Effective leadership is vital for scaling a business. Leaders must focus on personal growth, integrity, and fostering a positive mindset to inspire their teams and navigate the challenges of growth. BEST MOMENTS "When you jump off the trapeze... once they do it, they say that is the most exhilarating, exciting experience they've ever had. And they have this leap of confidence." "The first question a private equity firm will ask a business that they're interested in is, 'Tell me your vision.' I can't tell you the number of times a business owner screws up that question." "If this is success, I don't want it. I can't continue to function like this." "You can scale with other products and revenue streams as long as it's complementary to your brand and it's speaking to your avatar."
