In our latest episode of Radical Reformers, Andrew Laird is joined by Andy Ferrier, Chief Executive of Test Valley Borough Council, for a thoughtful and practical conversation about how public service reform, neighbourhood working and democratic renewal can come together. At Mutual Ventures we talk about Radical Place Leadership - Andy is definitely a Radical place Leader! In this episode, they discuss:  - Why many people feel alienated from traditional democratic processes and what can be done about it. - How citizens' assemblies and deliberative approaches can support better‑informed political decision‑making.  - The transformative, once-in-a-generation opportunity of LGR.  - Why culture, behaviours and leadership matter just as much as governance and committees. - How neighbourhood approaches could support prevention, stronger connection to communities and better children's and adults' services. Andy is refreshingly honest about the limits of traditional models and optimistic about working together. The most important aspect for him, he says, is working with communities, elected members and partners to think about how they develop together as a collective enterprise. If you're thinking about empower in communities, Local Government Reorganisation, Pride in Place, the future of democratic leadership or public service reform more generally, this episode is for you.

You think you made it. That's the problem.At some point you crossed a line. You got the promotion. Paid off the debt. Hit a goal you'd been chasing for years. And somewhere in that moment... you told yourself you earned the rest. You earned the exhale. You earned the comfort. And that right there is exactly where most people begin their slow, quiet decline.In this episode of Let's Get Real, Stoy Hall goes straight at the lie that comfort tells you. Not the motivational poster version of this conversation. The real version. The one that names what's actually happening when you stop pushing and start protecting. Your brain doesn't know the difference between safe and stuck. It only knows safe. And the moment life feels settled, it sends you a signal that says everything is fine... even when everything is slipping.This episode covers what comfort actually costs you. Not just money. Not just missed opportunities. Your identity. Your edge. The version of you that had something to prove. Stoy uses real research, real client experience, and real talk to break down why the "I've earned this" feeling is most dangerous before you've actually built anything worth protecting. You laid two bricks. That's not a house.Stoy also draws the line between rest and retreat. Because rest is real and rest is necessary. But retreat is fear in a comfortable outfit. And too many people are calling retreat by the name of self-care and balance and wisdom... when what's actually happening is they are getting out of their own way.This one is a gut check. It's designed to slap you a little bit. Because somebody has to say it and Stoy isn't going to soften it for you. You haven't earned s*** yet. The work isn't done. And you already know it.Watch on YouTube: https://youtu.be/7Px_u14cDiUAs always we ask you to comment, DM, whatever it takes to have a conversation to help you take the next step in your journey, reach out on any platform!Twitter, FaceBook, Instagram, Tiktok, LinkedinDISCLOSURE:  Awards and rankings by third parties are not indicative of future performance or client investment success.

We took a road trip for spring break. Flights were outrageous. Gas was fine. Made sense.But I built in the seasonal spike. I always do. Spring break demand, summer blend switchover, refineries making the switch... I planned for all of it.What I didn't plan for was a war.A war that nobody voted for. A war launched while this country was already behind on mortgages, behind on student loans, behind on car notes... and bleeding jobs at a pace we haven't seen since World War II.In Episode 33, I'm getting into all of it. The gas prices hitting families right now during one of the busiest travel periods of the year. The delinquency numbers that were already at historical highs before the first bomb dropped. The 300,000+ federal jobs gone and the unemployment rate that's now past 4% and climbing. And the one thing war has always been really good at... distraction.This isn't political. This is financial. This is real.War is hell at home. War is hell on your wallet. And the people absorbing the cost aren't in the Situation Room.They're at the pump. They're 90 days behind on a mortgage. They're refreshing their email waiting to hear back on a job application.I'm Stoy Hall, and this is Let's Get Real. No guests. No filter. Just facts, finance, and what you can actually do about it.Watch on YouTube: https://youtu.be/2EHdfqGSEm0As always we ask you to comment, DM, whatever it takes to have a conversation to help you take the next step in your journey, reach out on any platform!Twitter, FaceBook, Instagram, Tiktok, LinkedinDISCLOSURE: Awards and rankings by third parties are not indicative of future performance or client investment success.

It's the 40th anniversary of the Legend of Zelda franchise, and seeming as Nintendo are doing nothing to celebrate that milestone we decided to.

Just got out of the barbershop… and the weight of what I heard followed me to the car.A barber who moved into a new apartment, week and a half in, lost everything in a fire before he could get renter's insurance. That hit different. Because it's not just him. I've got people in my world dealing with mental health battles, physical health crises, job losses, and no clear answer for what comes next. I've got others who feel stable on paper but still feel the weight of everything pressing down.So let's talk about it. The real version. Not the Wall Street version. Not the version the media will cover between Epstein headlines and political theater.Here's the truth nobody wants to say out loud:We are in it. All of us. And there is no quick fix.Layoffs at levels we haven't seen since before COVID. All-time highs in the stock market and gold while salaries refuse to keep up. Kids' sports getting more expensive. Grocery bills not dropping. Insurance costs through the roof. It's a slow squeeze and the middle class is catching the worst of it because they're trying to hold everything together.In this episode, I talk about why I told someone at the barbershop to go into survival mode and why I said it with a heavy heart. I break down what that actually means, why we need to give each other grace right now, and why realistically we're looking at 12 to 24 months before things shift… depending on what happens with policy and politics.I also get into something that fires me up every time. Money. What it really is. Why billionaires and trillionaires exist. And why the whole system is built around power and control, not prosperity.This episode isn't about doom. It's about reality. It's about understanding what's happening around you so you can make better decisions, hold your people tighter, and stop absorbing everyone else's chaos on social media.Watch on YouTube: https://youtu.be/KXicglbEEF4As always we ask you to comment, DM, whatever it takes to have a conversation to help you take the next step in your journey, reach out on any platform!Twitter, FaceBook, Instagram, Tiktok, LinkedinDISCLOSURE: Awards and rankings by third parties are not indicative of future performance or client investment success.

The government's ambitious local government reorganisation (LGR) programme will replace all county and district councils with a single tier of unitary local government. Local authorities have submitted their preferred geographies to central government – but with reportedly 70 submissions across 21 two-tier areas, there is little consensus on the ideal footprints of future unitary authorities. Government is consulting the public and stakeholders, but ultimately it will fall to ministers to make these decisions – requiring potentially contentious judgements. Some local authorities favour fewer, larger geographies that offer greater efficiencies, others smaller councils that keep decision making closer to local communities. Final decisions will create winners and losers, and some outgoing authorities may resist the outcome. So how will these decisions shape the success of incoming unitary authorities? What weighting should ministers give to competing LGR criteria? How can ministers balance consistency of decisions with the need to tailor decisions for local areas? How can the government do this transparently? To answer these questions and more, this IfG event – the first in a new Making a Success of Local Government Reorganisation series – brought together an expert panel, including: Councillor Kay Mason Billig, Leader of Norfolk County Council Joanne Brown, Partner, Public Sector Audit at Grant Thornton UK LLP Dr Matthew Fright, Senior Researcher at the Institute for Government. Councillor Bella Sankey, Leader of Brighton and Hove City Council (joining remotely) This event was chaired by Akash Paun, Programme Director at the Institute for Government. The Institute for Government would like to thank Grant Thornton UK LLP for their support of this event, the first in a series on how to make a success of local government reorganisation (LGR).

Black History Month isn't supposed to be a highlight reel of the same five names. It's supposed to be receipts. And today I'm putting you on one most people have never heard of: Annie Turnbo Malone.Before “personal brand.” Before “women in business” panels. Before folks started acting like community was a hashtag, Annie built Poro College and used business like a real tool: training, jobs, pride, and a whole ecosystem for Black women to earn and grow.This episode is about the difference between a hustle and infrastructure. Annie didn't just sell a product. She built a system and a hub. Political events. Community events. Support. Safety. A place that meant something.And if you're a business owner right now trying to hold everything together, this is your reminder: stability is power. Clarity and community aren't “soft.” They're survival skills.Watch on YouTube: https://youtu.be/fIyt0YxA-HAAs always we ask you to comment, DM, whatever it takes to have a conversation to help you take the next step in your journey, reach out on any platform!Twitter, FaceBook, Instagram, Tiktok, LinkedinDISCLOSURE: Awards and rankings by third parties are not indicative of future performance or client investment success.

Most of your daily life runs on Black innovation and you don't even know the names. That's not just “history class trivia.” That's power. Because when you don't know who built the system, you don't learn how to build your own.This episode is a Black History Month Series spotlight on Frederick McKinley Jones the man tied to the refrigeration units you see on top of semi trailers. The “reefers.” The reason food can move across the country without turning into trash. The reason supply chains evolved. The reason modern life feels “easy” in ways we take for granted.And the bigger message is uncomfortable: over time, inventions go mainstream and we forget who created them. Then we forget that invention, innovation, and ownership are literally how America got built. We lose the hunger to create. We lose the respect for builders. And we start living inside systems we didn't design.So I'm challenging you in this one: be your own innovator. In your business, in your household, in the way your family runs. Write down the processes that make life smoother. Trace where they came from. Learn the history. Because the moment you understand how systems get built, you stop being a passenger in your own life.Watch on YouTube: https://youtu.be/yEvqSVMdqiAAs always we ask you to comment, DM, whatever it takes to have a conversation to help you take the next step in your journey, reach out on any platform!Twitter, FaceBook, Instagram, Tiktok, LinkedinDISCLOSURE: Awards and rankings by third parties are not indicative of future performance or client investment success.

This is Episode 28 of Let's Get Real and I'm not here to whisper. I'm here to say the part out loud: when “safety” starts looking like chaos, somebody's lying… and regular people are the ones paying the price.This episode is part of the Black History Month Series, and we're talking about the BS swirling around ICE operations, the stories that shift, the fear that spreads, and the way it gets weaponized to keep us arguing with each other instead of holding power accountable. If the details are still unfolding, cool… that's even more reason to slow down and demand receipts, not rumors.Here's what I'm focused on: what tragedy does to people. It can shatter trust… or it can create unison. It can isolate families… or it can wake up communities. The question is whether we turn pain into purpose, or pain into posts.And then we get to the part everybody skips: the plan. Not motivational bullshit. Not “thoughts and prayers.” A real move: clarity, community, cash, consequences. You'll hear exactly what those mean and how to apply them without burning out or getting played.Watch the episode on YouTube here: https://youtu.be/VKGqWtB6smYAs always we ask you to comment, DM, whatever it takes to have a conversation to help you take the next step in your journey, reach out on any platform!Twitter, FaceBook, Instagram, Tiktok, LinkedinDISCLOSURE: Awards and rankings by third parties are not indicative of future performance or client investment success.
