Podcasts about Lessons learned

As Ben Rhodes says on this week's episode, “we're in a revolutionary moment globally”. Joining Nish and Coco from sister show Pod Save the World, Ben shares (and despairs) about the state of UK and US politics, and tells us what we can take from the Democrats' disaster of 2024. Isn't it time that progressives got their own populist?Plus, we hear about Ben's new book, ‘All We Say', tracing American history through some of its most famous–and infamous–speeches. We talk to him about the similarities between Britain and America both losing their way when it comes to national identity, and how our leaders need to tell it like it is. We can handle the truth! Also on the show, New Statesman Editor Tom McTague dissects Starmer's swan song, his last minute decision not to challenge Burnham for leadership, and sets out why it all went wrong for a man who won a landslide victory less than two years ago. USEFUL LINKSGrab a copy of Ben's new book, All We Say: https://www.penguin.co.uk/books/470622/all-we-say-by-rhodes-ben/9781847928887 Ailbhe Rea's recent piece in the New Statesman: https://www.newstatesman.com/politics/labour/2026/06/what-happens-now Tom McTague's interview with Keir Starmer: https://www.newstatesman.com/politics/2025/06/what-keir-starmer-cant-say GUESTS Ben Rhodes Tom McTague CHECK OUT THESE DEALS FROM OUR SPONSORS SAILY: https://www.saily.com/podsave HRF Power Plays: Search Power Plays wherever you get your podcasts.VANTA: https://www.vanta.com/PSTUKWISE: https://www.wise.comBT: Search ‘Why BT' to find out more.Pod Save the UK is an Intelligence Squared production for Crooked Media.Get in touch - contact us via email: podsavetheuk@crooked.com we'd love to hear from you as we plan to do a mailbag episode soon: end any questions, thoughts, or musings our way!Like and follow us on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@PodSavetheUK Instagram: https://instagram.com/podsavetheuk TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@podsavetheuk BlueSky: https://bsky.app/profile/podsavetheuk.crooked.com Facebook: https://facebook.com/podsavetheuk X: https://x.com/podsavetheuk

Fresh off celebrating the Knicks' long-awaited NBA Championship, Padma Lakshmi joins Kevin Fallon to discuss America's Culinary Cup, the ambitious new competition series she hopes will become the “Olympics of food.” From being dubbed the “Beyoncé of food” to overcoming imposter syndrome during her early Top Chef years, Padma reflects on her remarkable career and the lessons she's learned along the way. She also reveals why she wanted to strip away reality TV gimmicks, treat chefs like the superstars they are, and create a million-dollar culinary showdown that's as glamorous as it is fiercely competitive.

What does it take for AI to matter inside a real operating business? Not as a demo, not as a dashboard, and not as a generic productivity tool — but as something that answers calls, reduces clicks, quotes freight, improves service, and helps people spend more time doing the work that actually moves the business forward.Today we're republishing an episode from The O.H.I.O. Fund Report with Mark Kvamme — co-founder, CEO, and CIO of The O.H.I.O. Fund — Peter Coratola, founder and CEO of EASE Logistics, and Andy Jenks, co-founder of JAKIB.ai.Together, they unpack one of the clearest examples we've seen of applied AI in Ohio: a service-heavy logistics business navigating a difficult freight market, partnering with an AI company to start small, solve real operational bottlenecks, and eventually build Amy — an AI layer embedded directly into how EASE works. They discuss track-and-trace calls, customer service, quoting, user adoption, CEO-level ownership, and why AI at its best may be less about replacing people and more about multiplying their output.So please enjoy this conversation with Mark Kvamme, Peter Coratola, and Andy Jenks.00:00 Introduction to the Ohio Fund and Ease Logistics05:12 Challenges in the Logistics Industry09:50 AI Transformation in Logistics13:55 First AI Project Implementation17:26 Integrating AI with Existing Systems20:12 User Adoption and Trust in AI23:20 Operational Efficiency and Cost Savings26:36 AI as a Knowledge Transfer Tool31:39 Lessons Learned in AI Implementation33:04 The Supercharged Engineer: AI's Impact on Productivity34:28 Empowering Non-Technical Users: AI for Everyone38:03 AI as a Multiplier: Enhancing Workforce Efficiency40:47 Customer-Centric AI: Transforming Client Interactions44:26 Mindset for AI Adoption: Insights for Business Leaders47:26 Evaluating Business Readiness for AI Implementation51:03 The Ohio Advantage: Why Midwestern Companies Thrive53:28 Future Predictions: The Next Big Leap in AI and Business-----LINKS:https://easelogistics.com/https://www.jakib.ai/https://www.linkedin.com/in/peter-coratola-jrhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/ajenks/https://www.linkedin.com/in/markkvamme/-----SPONSOR:Cerity PartnersCerity Partners, a full-service investment and wealth management firm serving high-net-worth individuals, entrepreneurs, and business owners, is proud to sponsor Lay of The Land.

In this week's Especially for Athletes podcast, Shad Martin and Dustin Smith tackle one of the greatest challenges facing youth sports today: patience. Too often athletes are labeled too early as stars or failures before their bodies, confidence, and abilities have fully developed. Through powerful insights about development, confidence, work ethic, and a moving story from Cameron Stewart about his son Tyson, Shad and Dustin remind parents, coaches, and athletes that development is not linear and that some of the greatest athletes are simply late bloomers. This episode is a must-listen for anyone tempted to judge potential too quickly.Key Takeaways1. Don't Label Athletes Too EarlyChildren develop physically, mentally, emotionally, and socially at different rates. Success—or struggle—at age 10 does not predict success at age 18.2. Puberty Changes EverythingMany athletes who appear average before puberty become exceptional later as their bodies and confidence develop.3. Focus on Growth, Not Playing TimeInstead of demanding opportunities, ask: "What do I need to do to improve?" Growth should always come before entitlement.4. Let Kids ExploreYoung athletes should be allowed to try different sports and activities until they discover where their talents and passions align.5. Love of the Game MattersIf a child still loves a sport, don't pull them away simply because they aren't currently the best player.6. Struggle Builds Valuable SkillsAthletes who must work for opportunities often develop resilience, work ethic, and perseverance that become major advantages later.7. There Are Lessons on the BenchAthletes learn just as much from fighting for playing time as they do from standing on the podium.00:32:17 - Introduction: Why Youth Sports Needs More Patience00:33:37 - The Danger of Labeling Kids Too Early00:36:27 - Why Puberty Changes Everything00:37:52 - Cameron Stewart's Story About His Son Tyson00:38:57 - How Parents Should Approach Playing Time Conversations00:41:42 - Why Late Bloomers Matter00:42:37 - When Should Kids Quit a Sport?00:45:02 - Family Rules About Commitment and Finishing Seasons00:46:02 - James Clear's "Explore vs. Exploit" Principle00:47:27 - Finding Your Lane Through Exploration00:48:17 - Final Advice for Parents and Coaches00:49:37 - Lessons Learned from Cameron Stewart's Example00:50:07 - Eyes Up, Do the Work⸻Especially for Athletes: Website: https://e4a.org Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/EspeciallyForAthletes/ X: https://x.com/E4Afamily Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/especiallyforathletes/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCmbWc7diAvstLMfjBL-bMMQJoin the conversation using #E4APodcast⸻Credits: Hosted by Dustin SmithProduced by E4A and IMAGINATE STUDIO

 Are you running your business to scale, or are you running it to sell? According to Michael Bennett, managing partner and founder of Crew Capital, you should always be doing both.
 In this tactical episode of The Exit, Michael sits down with Steve McGarry to break down the exact playbook for preparing your business for a massive payday long before you ever want to hand over the keys. From tracking the 10 to 20 industry KPIs that actually matter to navigating the complex world of QSBS tax benefits and succession planning, Michael shares the hard-earned wisdom he used to help guide one client from a $50M enterprise value all the way to a public, multi-billion-dollar powerhouse. Drawing from years of investment banking and advising founder-led companies, Michael shares why the best time to prepare for an exit is before you need capital and how running your company as if it is always “sale ready” can dramatically increase enterprise value.
 Michael also breaks down the biggest mistakes founders make when preparing for a sale, why timing matters more than most entrepreneurs realize, and how market conditions can impact valuation multiples. Steve and Michael dive into minority deals, partial exits, rollover equity, and the difference between maximizing value versus defining personal success. Whether you are years away from selling or actively considering an exit, this conversation offers tactical advice to help you prepare smarter and avoid painful surprises.

Host: Andrew Birmingham - Editor - CX | Martech | Ecom A year after Mi3 Australia began its agentic AI research deep dive – dubbed Inside the Tornado – that first wave of febrile experimentation has given way to what feels like the beginning of a Cambrian explosion as businesses embed AI agents into core operations, and realise measurable gains in areas ranging from pricing optimisation to creative production. But as adoption accelerates, executives say attention is shifting from the promise of autonomous systems to the practical realities of governing them, understanding and controlling costs and ensuring they do not drift off course – because they will absolutely drift of course. Speaking with Inside the Tornado author, and Mi3 Tech editor Andrew Birmingham, T2 Tea marketing director Peter Randeria and Omnicom Oceania chief product officer Alex Pacey argue that the organisations moving fastest are not those taking the greatest risks, but those building the strongest governance foundations. Their message is clear: agentic AI can create significant commercial value, but success depends on the discipline to supervise it, redesign workflows around it and manage its rapidly growing economic footprint, as much as it requires corralling a still immature and rapidly evolving technology that even its developers sometime still struggle to understand.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this milestone episode (400), Andrea Samadi celebrates seven years of the Neuroscience Meets SEL Podcast with her husband Majid Samadi. They reflect on the journey of translating neuroscience into practical strategies for performance, learning, and well-being. Together they review core lessons — everything begins with the brain, safety before performance, how thoughts shape biology, the power of movement, recovery as a performance strategy, and the central role of relationships and support. Majid also shares leadership insights from his decades in educational sales, including stress management, motivation, continuous learning, and the guiding motto: do the right thing. They close by looking ahead to the next phase on movement, learning and cognition and invite listeners to subscribe for future episodes. Sales Leadership Under Pressure: Applying the Neuroscience of High Performance to Real-World Leadership Guest: Majid Samadi Listen to YouTube interview here https://youtu.be/SSZH3qwPqf8 Intro: Top 7 Lessons from the past 7 years Guest: Majid Samadi (Interview begins at 10:16) EP 400: Sales Leadership Under Pressure with Majid Samadi In this milestone 400th episode, Andrea welcomes back her husband, Majid Samadi, who first appeared on Episode 1 when the podcast launched in 2019. Together, they reflect on seven years, fifteen seasons, and 400 episodes of exploring the neuroscience behind achievement, leadership, learning, motivation, and human potential. In this episode, we will cover: ✔ The Top 7 Lessons Learned from 7 Years and 400 Episodes ✔ Why understanding the brain changes the way we learn, lead, and perform ✔ The neuroscience of stress, self-regulation, and leadership under pressure ✔ How high-performing leaders sustain motivation without burning out ✔ The connection between movement, learning, cognition, and peak performance ✔ Why relationships are the foundation of leadership and long-term success ✔ The role trust plays in building high-performing teams ✔ Leadership lessons learned through organizational change, uncertainty, and growth ✔ How the definition of success evolves over a lifetime and career ✔ Why no meaningful achievement happens alone As Andrea reflects on the lessons learned from hundreds of conversations with neuroscientists, educators, physicians, psychologists, business leaders, and peak performers, she shares the one lesson that stands above all the rest: Behind every meaningful accomplishment is someone who believed in you enough to help you keep going. Welcome back to Season 15 of the Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning Podcast. I'm Andrea Samadi, and on this podcast, we bridge the science behind social and emotional learning, emotional intelligence, and practical neuroscience so we can create measurable improvements in well-being, achievement, productivity, and results. Over the past 399 episodes, we've explored the neuroscience behind performance, learning, stress, motivation, and human potential. For this milestone Episode 400, I wanted to do something different. Instead of interviewing another neuroscientist, or reviewing past episodes, we're going to explore what happens when these ideas are applied in the real world. Joining me is someone listeners heard on EP 1[i] my husband, Majid Samadi, where we laid out the framework for future episodes, EP 200[ii] (Why we launched this podcast), and EP 300[iii] (a special episode with my Mom, Hazel MacPhail, where she taught us “how to live the good life”). I'll never forget EP 1, when I asked Majid if he would record with me to help me to launch this podcast thing I wanted to start. He had just come home from working LAUSD (in California) and he put his suit jacket on my desk, and sat down in front of the microphone. I showed him the questions I would ask him, and off we went. I learned that when you start something, it doesn't have to be perfect. Just start. What 15 Seasons Taught Me Before we begin today's conversation, I wanted to take a moment to reflect on what I've learned over the past seven years and 400 episodes of the Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning Podcast. I had sketched out a framework, and had some ideas of what I wanted to cover on at least the first 50 episodes. When I started this idea in 2019, I thought I was creating a platform to share neuroscience research (as it connected to Social and Emotional Learning). What I didn't realize was that the journey would change me. After hundreds of interviews with neuroscientists, physicians, educators, psychologists, business leaders, and peak performers, there are a few lessons that stand above all the rest. I'll always say it took me 50 episodes to get started. I found it really difficult to ask questions and breathe at the same time. Lesson #1: Everything begins with the brain. Whether we're talking about achievement, learning, leadership, health, relationships, or performance, success starts with understanding how the brain works. When we understand the brain, we stop fighting ourselves and start working with ourselves. We all have our own journey here. Mine started when an educator, Jeff Kleck, from EP 246[iv] challenged me to add neuroscience to my work. This was around 2014 when I had partnered with AZ Department of Education with a character ed/leadership program, and Jeff Kleck told me that I wouldn't go wrong if I wrote a whole new book that focused on the brain and learning. That's when I sat down, and started to study some of the leading researchers in this field. I've heard similar stories from other authors like Dr. Doug Fisher, who told me that he sat in classes with medical students to unwrap how the brain learns best. Lesson #2: Safety comes before performance. One of the most important themes of Season 15 has been that a dysregulated nervous system cannot perform at its best. Before growth, before learning, before leadership, the brain must feel safe. This lesson applies in our homes, our schools, our workplaces, and our relationships. I'll never forget asking Dr. David Stephen on EP 388[v] about a situation where I was under unusual stress, and my eyesight (or ability to read) stopped working. He explained the neuroscience behind this example, that I'll never forget and his solution to my problem that was to eat glucose before any important meeting or presentation. Lesson #3: Our thoughts become biology. Through experts like Dr. Caroline Leaf, Bob Proctor, Dawson Church, and many others, I learned that our thoughts are not just ideas. They influence our chemistry, our attention, our habits, and ultimately our results. What we repeatedly think becomes what we repeatedly do. This one I've believed since my days working in the seminar industry with Bob Proctor. He would hammer this concept into everyone's mind in every seminar. I just always thought this was something he really believed in, until I heard the SAME thing from Dr. Caroline Leaf, and Dr. Korotkov from Russia. It's also behind Dr. Joe Dispenza's work. To this day, I watch the words I think and say out loud. Lesson #4: Movement changes the brain. This lesson became personal. The science is clear: movement improves attention, memory, mood, resilience, and learning. But over the years, I experienced it firsthand through hiking, walking, strength training, and building daily movement into my life. This is how I've always been. I remember putting on my rollerblades when I was 16 and rollerblading to the local YMCA that wasn't really in my neighborhood. Motivation got me moving. Movement changed my brain. And this is how I still find the energy to sit at my desk and write podcasts episodes every Saturday. I have to exercise (or move) first, and then I can create. Over time this has probably been my healthiest habits. Lesson #5: Recovery drives performance. For years I focused on doing more. The neuroscience taught me something different. Growth doesn't happen during effort. Growth happens during recovery. Sleep, stress regulation, recovery, and reflection are not luxuries—they are performance strategies. This took me years to finally put into practice. Lesson #6: Relationships change everything. If there is one lesson that appears in every field of neuroscience, it is this: We are wired for connection. The quality of our relationships influences our health, happiness, resilience, leadership, and longevity. And that brings me to perhaps the most important lesson of all. Lesson #7: No meaningful achievement happens alone. People often see the finished podcast episode. They don't see the support system behind it. For 400 episodes, there has been one person supporting this mission from behind the scenes. My husband, Majid. While I was researching, writing, recording, editing, and building this platform, Majid was encouraging me when things were difficult, celebrating the wins, offering perspective when I needed it, and helping me continue when the path wasn't always clear. Many of these episodes were written because someone believed in me enough to keep me going. The podcast may have my name on it, but it has always been supported by both of us. As we celebrate Episode 400, that's the lesson I want to leave everyone with. Achievement is rarely a solo journey. Behind every meaningful accomplishment is a person, a mentor, a teacher, a spouse, a friend cheering you along the way from the sidelines, or a community that helped make it possible. The neuroscience taught me how the brain works. Life taught me that relationships are what make everything work. And that's why there is no better person to join me for Episode 400 than Majid Samadi. Welcome Majid! Thank you for taking the time to record this milestone episode with me. I know your time is limited. Before we get started, can  you share what it is that you do when you are not being strong armed to record podcast episodes for me? So, we have been covering 5 phases in Season 15, showing how the brain comes online and changes with each phase. So I've got some questions for you that will cover each phase. Does that sound good?

This is a bit of a transition episode for the podcast. I wanted to talk about going back to the trail this week, but there isn't a great deal to say about it that I haven't already said. So this week I sat down and recorded a few reflections on what I've learned in forests and on mountains over the past twelve years.                                   It's a little bit rough and ready, and I did it with the barest of notes, but I hope that several of the things I talk about resonate with one or two of you.                                                           I'm using Polarsteps to record my AT thru-hike this year. If you'd like to follow my progress between episodes, as well as photos of my journey, please go to https://www.polarsteps.com/mightyblue and click on the follow button.

Some of these lessons came through healing, grief, business, relationships, travel, personal growth, and a whole lot of trial and error. Others have emerged through my work as an astrologer, intuitive reader, and someone committed to understanding consciousness and the human experience.This conversation explores self-worth, personal power, fear, healing, money, relationships, purpose, and what it really means to create a meaningful life.Some of the lessons discussed include:• Why seeking approval outside of yourself is one of the fastest ways to give away your power• How self-worth is built through repetition, consistency, and facing fear• Why fear often points you toward the very thing you're meant to do• The connection between healing, happiness, and understanding your subconscious mind• Ancestral healing and how family patterns get passed down through generations• Why healing never truly ends, but does become easier• The relationship between money, safety, freedom, and fulfillment• How difficult seasons reveal who your true friends are• Why your job should never become your identity• The powerful connection between gratitude and manifestation• How expectations can block life's natural unfolding• Why solitude, stillness, and time in nature are essential for inner peace• The role consciousness plays in transforming your entire life experience• Why the quality of your life is determined by the quality of your relationship with yourselfI also share personal stories from my healing journey, recent travels to Greece, building my business from the ground up, and the lessons that have shaped me into the person I am today.If you're navigating your own season of growth, healing, or transformation, I hope these reflections remind you to trust yourself, trust the process, and keep moving toward the life you're here to create.Thank you for being here and for supporting the podcast.Please rate and review the podcast on Apple, Google, Spotify, or wherever you listen!Enroll in ARCANA today: https://aguaastrology.teachable.com/p/arcanaSee our faces on YouTube!Want to book a reading with Gabrielle?

Fred Laluyaux has spent 25 years on the same problem: enterprises are drowning in decisions no human should be making. With 50 million digitized decisions across companies like Unilever, Exxon, and Hershey, he now has the data to prove it. When operators override the machine, performance goes down. Not sometimes — in aggregate, every time. In this episode, Fred breaks down the agentic vs. deterministic tradeoff most CIOs are getting wrong, why the software stack most companies rely on today is heading for collapse, and what a company whose entire stack is just SAP and Aera tells you about where enterprise software is going. Hit play. 3 Takeaways: After 50 million digitized decisions, the data is clear: when operators override the machine, performance drops. One Aera customer runs their entire operation on SAP and Aera. Nothing in between. That's where the stack is going. Fred calls them "born in digital" decisions — they can't be made by humans because the value is gone before the meeting starts.

An entrepreneur and Silicon Valley veteran, Fred brings an impressive track record building successful startups and driving technology innovation. Prior to launching Aera, Fred was the CEO of Anaplan, which he grew to a $1 billion valuation. He has held several executive positions at SAP, Business Objects, and ALG Software. As a thought leader on the future of work and host of the Decision Intelligence podcast, Fred frequently shares his vision with influencers through media interviews and speaking engagements at industry conferences. His views have been published in business and trade publications. A technology and startup advisor, Fred is an investor and active board member of several startups in the U.S. and Europe. Guest Highlights: "We're in 2026, and the reality is that our models have not changed for 100 years. We're still relying on people to decide how to forecast, how to allocate inventory, how to change a plan." "We've got enough data, I mentioned the 50 million decisions, to demonstrate that whenever the humans are touching the system and are messing with the recommendation, they actually degrade the performance." "The autonomy is not another version or better version of my planning tool or my replenishment tool. It replaces the need to have a human touch with that software, and therefore I don't need that software anymore."

What does it look like to go from feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure about your novel…to finally making real progress?In this episode, I'm sharing five clips from past Notes to Novel students who all came into the program stuck in different ways—overwhelmed by story structure, trapped in research rabbit holes, or sitting on drafts that existed on paper, but still weren't clicking. And underneath it all was the same frustrating feeling: each writer knew they had a story worth telling; they just couldn't figure out how to get it out of their head and onto the page in a way they felt good about.You'll hear what shifted for these writers once they stopped piecing things together on their own and started working from a clear, proven framework they could trust.If you've been second-guessing yourself, rewriting the same chapters, or quietly wondering whether you're capable of finishing your novel, there's a good chance you'll recognize yourself somewhere in this episode.Here's what we cover:[03:09] How Sheila (a longtime pantser) went from avoiding structure completely to discovering that outlining actually made drafting feel more creative, not less.[07:17] How Liz (a perfectionist) realized endless research was keeping her stuck, and the simple "put a pin in it" mindset shift that kept her draft moving forward.[12:28] Why Hanna's draft started flowing faster once she gave herself permission to write messy scenes instead of trying to get every scene right the first time.[19:15] What Nikki learned from rebuilding her antagonist three times before her protagonist, conflict, and story finally started working together. [24:24] What changed when Brady reconnected with the deeper reason he wanted to write a novel—and how it silenced his inner imposter for good.Ready to finish your novel without second-guessing every word, sentence, or scene? Join Sheila, Liz, Hanna, Nikki, Brady, and hundreds of other writers inside Notes to Novel who've discovered that drafting doesn't have to feel hard. You just need the right roadmap.Get on the waitlist for the next round of Notes to Novel and get my complete, step-by-step framework to turn your ideas into a finished, easy-to-edit first draft you love.

Every investor faces the same challenge: distinguishing excitement from opportunity, learning lessons from your mistakes, and separating short-term impulses from long-term strategy. In this episode, we tackle all three as we examine the next wave of mega-IPOs, share financial lessons learned firsthand, and discuss why sticking to a plan can be harder—and more important—than it sounds.Companies like SpaceX, OpenAI, and Anthropic are expected to pursue public offerings at valuations that could rival or exceed the largest companies in history. We'll examine what trillion-dollar IPOs could mean for investors, why valuation still matters even when the business is extraordinary, and whether public investors will be participating in future growth—or paying for it upfront.Next, we shift from market theory to personal experience. The team shares some of the financial lessons learned firsthand—from debt that lingered longer than expected to missed opportunities created by saving too little, too late. It's a candid conversation about the mistakes, miscalculations, and course corrections that helped shape a healthier approach to money.Finally, we discuss one of the most important and often overlooked aspects of the adviser-client relationship: staying aligned with the plan. We'll explore the procedures designed to help protect investment accounts, the roles advisers and custodians play in account oversight, and why even well-intentioned portfolio changes can sometimes work against long-term goals when made without coordination.Join hosts Nick Antonucci, CVA, CEPA, Director of Research, and Managing Associates K.C.

Welcome to the land podcast, a platform for people looking to educate themselves in the world of land ownership, land investing, staying up to date with current land trends in the Midwest, and hearing from industry experts and professionals.  On today's episode, we are back in the studio with Carter Amundsen. We discuss: Land ownership rarely happens when timing feels perfect. Proximity to home can outweigh acreage size. First-time buyers often overestimate how ready they need to be. State foresters are an underutilized resource. Habitat improvements should follow a long-term plan. Section 180 deductions can create significant tax savings. EQIP isn't the only conservation funding option. Access routes often matter more than stand locations. Land ownership creates value beyond financial returns. Stewardship becomes addictive once you start improving habitat. And so much more!

Bill, whose article appears in the June 2026 issue of Grapevine, tells Olis and Don that he had to learn to do what AA asks you to do. In the beginning he did not get the ideas of alcoholism as an allergy, or the phenomenon of craving, but his sponsor helped him understand these things about himself. He came in thinking his life was over, but now thinks of sober times when his face hurt from smiling and laughing so much. Leslie shares about the benefits of Grapevine. In Using the Traditions in Our Lives we hear thoughts on Tradition Six from DeEtte, Courtney and Sarah. While we provide the podcast at no charge, we do have expenses.
