Are you designing your employee experience or just letting it happen? Most leaders talk about employee experience, but few intentionally shape it. In this episode, Kevin sits down with Dean Carter to explore why that's a costly mistake. Dean gets to the point: What do your employees actually experience every single day? Because while culture is what your organization is, employee experience is what your people feel. Dean emphasizes that designing employee experience must be intentional, continuous, and co-created with employees rather than imposed on them. He also shares real stories showing how listening in real time, acting on feedback, and giving people genuine agency can transform engagement, trust, and performance, even in struggling organizations. Dean's Story: Dean E. Carter is the co-author of Employee Experience Design: How to Co-create Work Where People and Organizations Thrive. He is newly named CEO at Instill.ai and has over two decades of experience as an executive officer for renowned, and Fortune50 companies, such as Patagonia and Sears, as well as a board director for private and publicly traded companies. His views on employee experience and the future of work are frequently featured in global publications, podcasts, corporate events, and mainstage keynotes. https://www.linkedin.com/in/deancarter/ Looking to Develop Stronger Leaders?

In "Real-World Supply Chain AI Applications with Gather AI's Sankalp Arora", Joe Lynch and Sankalp Arora, CEO and Co-founder at Gather AI, discuss how Gather AI's combination of drone-collected visual data, AI analysis, and WMS integration is revolutionizing warehouse inventory management. About Sankalp Arora Sankalp Arora is the CEO & Co-Founder of Gather AI. With 14 years of experience, Sankalp developed safety and sensor planning for the world's first safe autonomous helicopter, funded by DARPA, a project that won the Howard Hughes award, AUVSI Xcellence award and was nominated for the Collier Trophy. He is a recipient of the Qualcomm Innovation fellowship and Swartz Innovation fellowship and has a PhD in Robotics from Carnegie Mellon University. Gather AI and Sankalp have received several awards, including CB Insights' AI 100, SupplyChainBrain's Great Supply Chain Partner Awards, Peerless Media's NextGen Supply Chain Awards, Food Logistics and Supply & Demand Chain Executive Top Tech Startup Awards, and the Pittsburgh Inno Fire Awards. About Gather AI Gather AI is an intralogistics AI company which collects visual data from drones, forklifts, and connected machines, integrates it with warehouse management systems (WMS) and cloud platforms, and uses AI to identify issues and suggest next steps. Key Takeaways: Real-World Supply Chain AI Applications In "Real-World Supply Chain AI Applications with Gather AI's Sankalp Arora", Joe Lynch and Sankalp Arora, CEO and Co-founder at Gather AI, discuss how Gather AI's combination of drone-collected visual data, AI analysis, and WMS integration is revolutionizing warehouse inventory management. Bridging Robotics Expertise to Logistics: Sankalp Arora's foundational work in safety and sensor planning for autonomous helicopters (a DARPA-funded project) highlights how sophisticated robotics and computer vision expertise is now being directly applied to create reliable, "real-world" AI solutions for the supply chain. Visual Data is the New Inventory Input: Gather AI utilizes hardware like drones, forklifts, and connected machines to collect vast amounts of visual data within a warehouse, moving beyond manual counts and traditional scanning methods to capture inventory status comprehensively and automatically. Intralogistics Focus: The primary application of this AI is in intralogistics (operations inside the warehouse), specifically tackling challenges like inventory inaccuracy, cycle counting, and labor efficiency—common pain points for WMS (Warehouse Management Systems) users. From Data to Actionable Insights: The platform doesn't just collect data; its core value is using AI to identify specific issues (e.g., misplaced items, damaged inventory, out-of-stock locations) and then suggesting next steps, making the data immediately actionable for warehouse staff. Critical System Integration: For successful real-world adoption, the AI platform must integrate seamlessly with Warehouse Management Systems (WMS) and cloud platforms, ensuring the visual intelligence updates the enterprise system of record effectively. AI for Operational Efficiency: By automating data collection and analysis, the technology shifts labor away from tedious inventory tasks, allowing personnel to focus on high-value activities, leading to significant gains in operational efficiency and inventory accuracy. Industry Validation of Innovation: Recognition through awards like CB Insights' AI 100 and various Supply Chain Partner awards validates that Gather AI's approach is recognized as a leading, commercially viable, and impactful NextGen Supply Chain technology.

As our party head back into the deeper Abyss, how did Nikoli plan how to blend the Inferno with the UnderDark settlement of Sloobludop?   We present ARCHIVE! A companion series where Nikoli & Amy sit down and discuss the DM notes for each episode of Abyss as it happens. This will include recaps of the previous Abyss episode, Nikoli's outline for the next episode and some details of how this compares to what the source material originally planned. Hopefully Archive will satisfy the "behind the scenes" cravings we know some fans have for our DM notes and reasoning behind what we changed and why.   Original episode: https://www.penancerpg.com/shows/abyss11Final.mp3 Originally, only one episode of Archive was on Libsyn, with the rest released each week to our $3+ Patreon supporters.

When it comes to podcast strategies to grow your podcast, one strategy that often gets overlooked (because it takes time) is Search Engine Optimization (SEO). Now people are starting to market a "New" thing known as PSO (Podcast Search Optimization).Podcast Search Optimization VS Search Engine OptimizationSo what is the difference? In reality not much. Tools like Podseo and PSO and Ausha show you information on how often keywords are being search in Apple and Spotify (and others). SEO tools show what people are searching for in Google and other places (YouTube, TikTok, and more).So THE question is, do people search differently in a Podcast App vs how they search Google? For me, I don't think so. I might just type a keyword "Podcasting Best Practices" where in Google I would type "Podcasting Best Practices Podcast."Keyword Research Boils Dow To ThisFind a keyword that has a fair number of people searching for (somewhere between 20-100 searches), and see how much competition it has. Instead of trying to score for a really popular keyword, score multiple times with less popular (but still be sought after) key words with less competition. Mom said "Don't go play in traffic," but that's what you need to do - but no on the free way.What is Your Domain Authority?SEMRush (a great suite of tools) has a domain authority checker.Tools To Boost Your Podcast SEO on the WebFree Keyword Tool (That Sucks IMHO)https://www.wordstream.com/keywordsGoogle Keyword Tool (Inside of Adsense Account)https://ads.google.comGo to Tools > Planning > Keyword Planner (Free and unlimited use)Keywords Everywhere Extension for Chrome and Firefox $7/month.

If you give me seven days to test the tool, give me access to ALL OF IT. I mean every marketer knows that you give it to the customer and let them "get hooked" so when their trial is over they will purchase.I couldn't do that as much of the tools spotlighted required me to upgrade. Boo.That being said it does show how much a keyword is searched for (not as specific as some tools for web seo). It also shows you how hard to competition is.Keep in mind that you need to give your dashboard 24 hours to show some statistics in your dashboard.Ausha PSO (affiliate)PodSEOThis is from Andrea De Marsi (Co-founder of Spreaker) and Francesco Baschieri (Co-founder of Spreaker) and it has a similar feature set to the ausha tool.You can save 10% using the coupon schoolofpodcasting. (affiliate)I thought it was very cool that Podseo alerted me to the mistake that I had accidentally listed my show twice in Spotify (I moved from Libsyn to Captivate - nuff said).It has some cool episode planners, and is cheaper than Ausha PSO. Their AI tools looks at your episodes and recommend future ideas and then helps you plan them, and has a calendar showing when the episodes were released.They also can send you daily updates on your rankings or your competition.Check it out at podseo.com and use the coupon schoolofpodcasting to save 10%Because of My Podcast: Paul ColliganPaul is a huge theater nerd, and loves the musical Chess.

They analyzed the painting's composition, colors, and techniques, considering whether it was truly a self-portrait or perhaps a character study. Don Bertram shared insights as an artist and collector, while José and Ryan explored themes of transformation and creativity. They also briefly discussed the 2022 Hellraiser movie release and its special features. The conversation concluded with plans to vote on future art pieces to analyze. Summary Clive Barker Self-Portrait Discussion The group discussed a self-portrait painting by Clive Barker from 2007, which was selected through a listener vote. José provided context about the painting, including its size (60x48 inches), medium (oil on canvas), and exhibition history at the Bert Green Gallery. The painting sold for $8,000 and was described as a beautiful character portrait. The discussion concluded with José inviting the participants to share their analysis of the portrait's style and emotional impact, though specific reactions were not captured in the transcript. Clive Barker Self-Portrait Discussion Don and Ryan discussed a large self-portrait by Clive Barker, noting its similarities to his "Abarat" style and comparing it to earlier works. Don expressed a preference for Barker's more cerebral images over this illustrative piece, suggesting the large size (4 by 5 feet) might be intended to command attention rather than being a traditional self-portrait. José proposed that the size creates a sense of confrontation and demands engagement, while Don speculated that the piece might originally have been intended for a different character in the Abarat series before being repurposed as a self-portrait. Clive Barker Painting Analysis Discussion The group discussed a painting that appears to depict Clive Barker, with José arguing it's a self-portrait while Don suggested it might be a portrait of another character. José analyzed the artistic elements, describing the symmetrical composition and expressionistic style with bold brushstrokes and flames as an aura rather than a setting. The discussion included comparisons to other Barker works and references to specific book editions, with Don suggesting the painting might be used as a dust jacket or limited edition book cover. Clive Barker Painting Interpretation Discussion The group discussed a painting of Clive Barker, interpreting the fire surrounding him as representing transformation, danger, or creative intensity. José and Ryan connected this to Barker's recurring theme of characters being forged or transformed through proximity to powerful or high-stakes events, while remaining intact. They noted the painting's medium of oils, which allows for layers and revisions similar to how people build their self-identity, and expressed interest in seeing a higher quality image of the painting. Gallery Exhibition Art Discussion The group discussed a painting that was part of a gallery exhibition called "New Paintings and Works on Paper" in 2007. They clarified that the $8,000 price listed on Phil and Sarah's website represents the original asking price rather than a confirmed sale price. José shared his screen to show other paintings from the same exhibition, including "She Waits" and "Voices of the Damned," which was possibly related to Barbie Wilde's book. The discussion also touched on other works by Aberet, including some black and white pieces and drawings. Clive Barker Self-Portrait Analysis The group discussed a self-portrait painting by Clive Barker, examining its artistic techniques and comparing it to other Barker self-portraits. They analyzed specific elements like the use of color, eye details, and the symbolic representation of a monster inside the artist's head. The conversation concluded with a brief discussion about the Hellraiser 2022 Blu-ray release, including its special features and the inclusion of one of Barker's paintings in the film, though it was covered with plastic and barely visible. AI Summary (News) Quick recap Ryan and José recorded episode 527 of their Clive Barker podcast, focusing on recent news updates about Hellraiser-related projects. They discussed a new developer diary for the Hellraiser Revival video game, which showed promising gameplay mechanics and featured Doug Bradley's voice work as the Hellpriest. The hosts also covered Hellraiser Bloodline's 30th anniversary celebrations and Gary J. Tunnicliffe's reflections on working on the film. They examined a new YouTube series by composer Chris Velasco, noted an upcoming 4K release of Nightbreed from Arrow Films, and discussed Brian Fuller's announcement of a potential new TV series collaboration with Clive Barker. The episode concluded with plans for future content including an upcoming discussion about Clive Barker's self-portrait with Don Bertram. Summary Hellraiser 30th Anniversary Updates José and Ryan discussed updates related to the 30th anniversary of Bloodline and Hellraiser, including a new TV series collaboration between Brian Fuller and Clive Barker. They also reviewed a developer diary for the Hellraiser Revival game, noting its 6-minute length and content featuring Doug Bradley. José expressed concerns about the game's marketing as "very explicit" and questioned the focus on explicit content versus storytelling. Hellraiser Game Development Discussion José and Ryan discussed a Hellraiser game and its development, focusing on the challenges of depicting violence and sex in the game while staying true to the franchise's lore. José expressed optimism about the game's potential, noting the strong story and powerful narrative. They also discussed finding a specific social media post about the game and planned to continue their conversation later. Clive Barker Podcast News Episode Ryan and José discussed comments on a social media post about a game, with José noting the significant engagement it received. They shared experiences with previous games, including "Agony" and "Hellraiser," with both expressing disappointment in their quality. The conversation then transitioned to preparing for recording the 527th episode of the Clive Barker Podcast, which would be a news episode. Hellraiser Game and Film Discussion Ryan and José discussed the Hellraiser Revival game, including a recent developer diary featuring Doug Bradley. They expressed excitement about the game's mechanics and graphics but noted the lack of a confirmed release date, speculating it might be around Halloween. The conversation also touched on the 30th anniversary of Hellraiser Bloodline and included reflections from Gary J. Tunercliffe about the film's impact and his experiences working on it. They debated criticisms of the Hulu Hellraiser movie, particularly regarding the Cenobites' threat level and story elements. Hellraiser Franchise and Podcast Discussion José and Ryan discussed the Hellraiser franchise, including criticism of certain characters and the recent anniversary of Hellraiser Bloodline. They also talked about supporting Chris Velasco's new YouTube content, though Ryan noted it's not a traditional podcast since it lacks an RSS feed. The conversation concluded with a discussion about the advantages of audio podcasts over video content for convenience and accessibility. Nightbreed 4K Release Plans Ryan and José discussed the upcoming 4K release of Nightbreed by Arrow Films on May 25th, 2026, which will include both the theatrical and director's cuts in Ultra HD. They noted that while the director's cut was originally scanned in HD, the 4K release will feature new content including a feature-length documentary and interviews with critics. Ryan also shared news from Screen Rant about Brian Fuller working on a new TV series with Clive Barker, though details about the project are still unknown. Film Projects and Podcast Plans Ryan and José discussed various film and television projects, including a potential Mick Garris and Clive Barker collaboration titled "Theater of Blood." They also talked about their podcast content, including an upcoming episode about the Hellraiser 2022 Ultra HD Blu-ray release and a future discussion about Clive Barker's character portraits with Don Bertram. The conversation touched on the challenges of keeping track of all announced projects and the disappointment when some don't materialize.

On this episode from our archives, Katy meets up with one of The Bittersweet Life's longtime listeners, San Francisco resident Lynn Fortunato. Lynn is standing on the precipice of change. She's bored of her job, she's not overly attached to San Francisco, her lease is up in September, and she's yearning for something new. But how do you know where you should go—or even if you should go? One way to get some direction is to consult a psychic medium, someone who has a vision that goes beyond the everyday, perhaps even beyond the realm of the living. Katy and Lynn take the show into the studio of a psychic medium to get his insight on the direction Lynn should take next.

Here on The LDS Mission Podcast, Episode 247 – Stop Fighting Yourself, I'm sharing a powerful mindset shift for missionaries, returned missionaries, and missionary moms who feel like they're constantly battling their own thoughts, emotions, or motivation. So many of us have been taught that growth requires fighting ourselves—battling the natural man, conquering weakness, or pushing through fear with sheer force. But in this episode, I challenge that idea and explain why internal war with yourself actually slows growth instead of creating it. When missionaries shame themselves for normal human emotions like anxiety, sadness, fear, or exhaustion, they often end up feeling divided, discouraged, and exhausted instead of empowered. I talk about how our lower brain is wired for survival—seeking pleasure, avoiding pain, and conserving energy—and why compassion toward that part of ourselves is actually the key to emotional resilience and personal growth. In this episode we explore the difference between intentional growth and internal aggression, and why beating yourself up isn't the same thing as discipline. I explain how fighting your thoughts and emotions often makes them louder, drains your energy, and splits you into "good" and "bad" versions of yourself. Instead of living in a constant tug-of-war with your lower brain, I teach how to drop the rope and bring your higher brain and lower brain into harmony. Through self-compassion, awareness, and intentional self-leadership, missionaries can move out of the boxing ring with themselves and begin creating peace, confidence, and emotional strength. When you stop shaming yourself for normal human experiences and instead lead yourself with kindness, you actually accelerate growth and create the mission experience—and life—you truly want. You are not meant to live at war with yourself. You are meant to become whole. By learning to approach your thoughts, fears, anxiety, and emotions with compassion instead of hostility, you create the internal peace that allows real progress to happen. If you've ever felt frustrated with yourself, overwhelmed by your thoughts, or stuck in a cycle of self-criticism, this episode will help you step out of the tug-of-war and move forward with clarity and self-trust. Episode 247 – Stop Fighting Yourself reminds us that growth doesn't come from conquering ourselves, but from learning to lead ourselves with compassion and harmony. As always, if you found this episode helpful, I want to invite you to subscribe if you aren't already, share this episode with your friends and missionaries you know, and write a review. I know this work will help LDS missionaries around the world and it would mean so much to me if you did. Until next week my friends.

In "Freight Tech Strategy: Avoiding the Implementation Trap with JBF's Brad Forester", Joe Lynch and Brad Forester, Founder and Managing Partner of JBF Consulting, discuss the critical need for a strategic roadmap to ensure logistics technology delivers real ROI rather than becoming a costly mistake.

For over two decades, our client-centric approach and alliances with best-of-breed solution providers have ensured that every strategy and solution we deliver drives measurable impact, long-term success, and customer satisfaction.  Key Takeaways: Freight Tech Strategy: Avoiding the Implementation Trap In "Freight Tech Strategy: Avoiding the Implementation Trap with JBF's Brad Forester", Joe Lynch and Brad Forester, Founder and Managing Partner of JBF Consulting, discuss the critical need for a strategic roadmap to ensure logistics technology delivers real ROI rather than becoming a costly mistake. The Trap is Set Early: Implementation failures (going over budget or missing ROI) are usually symptoms of a missing strategy months prior, rather than errors made during the setup itself. Strategy as Insurance: Investing just 1% to 2% of your budget in a strategic assessment acts as an insurance policy, potentially mitigating up to 80% of common implementation risks. "Slow is Steady, Steady is Fast": Rushing to execute without "future-casting" (planning for growth or acquisitions 5–10 years out) leads to the "$10 million mistake"—having to rip out and replace a system that no longer fits. Create a Shipper Profile: Use a "matchmaking" approach to tech. A tool that works for a retail giant might fail for a bulk chemical shipper; you must find the specific vendor that matches your unique mode mix. The Hybrid Tech Trend: Large shippers are increasingly owning the software and data while outsourcing physical operations, allowing them to switch 3PLs without losing their historical data or visibility. Beware of Shiny Objects: Avoid "AI for AI's sake." Don't buy a hammer and then go looking for a nail; ensure any new tech solves a defined problem statement rather than just chasing industry hype. Phase Two is a Myth: Brad warns that "Phase Two never comes." If you don't build the necessary capabilities into the initial launch, the project often stalls at 75% completion, and the promised ROI is never realized.

Empathy - A Way That Works Without The Pain In the FMQ527 I said something that probably made you blink. Empathy sucks. And I meant it. Not because caring is wrong. Not because helping people is wrong. Not because being sensitive is wrong. But because absorbing other people's pain is not helping them — and it's definitely not helping you. In this deeper dive, I show you: Why emotional dumping drains you Why empathy often becomes a hiding strategy The crucial difference between empathy and compassion How to stay grounded when people offload on you And how to become truly empathetic… with yourself Because here's the truth: If you feel everyone else's pain, you'll drown. If you stay grounded and compassionate, you can actually help. And the real work? It starts with self-empathy. What We Explore 1️⃣ Why Empathy Can Be Harmful Emotional dumping and energy drain Why taking on others' pain doesn't serve them How empathy can become a badge of honour How it can also become unconscious avoidance of your own emotions 2️⃣ The Shift: Empathy ➜ Compassion Empathy = I feel your pain. Compassion = I recognise your pain — and I can support you without absorbing it. Compassion allows you to: Stay grounded Sustain your energy Think clearly Offer real support Stay emotionally stable It's the difference between drowning with someone… or throwing them a rope. 3️⃣ Process One – Sitting With Your Emotion Instead of pushing emotions away: Sit with the feeling Acknowledge it Ask: What are you trying to do for me? What are you protecting me from? What are you trying to teach me? Every emotion has a positive intention. When you learn the lesson — the emotion doesn't need to shout anymore. 4️⃣ Process Two – Compassion Without Merging (Visualisation) I guide you through: Grounding yourself Breathing deliberately Creating a subtle protective boundary Supporting someone without absorbing their pain You remain: Present Steady Caring Strong And when you walk away? You're still yourself. 5️⃣ Process Three – Deep Self-Empathy Installation This is the powerful one. You: Place the emotion in front of you Speak to it with curiosity Thank it Discover its intention Ask what it needs Create a better strategy for that intention Future pace the change You keep the intention. You release the pain. That's self-empathy. The Core Takeaway Before you help anyone else… Check in with yourself. Am I grounded? Am I breathing? Am I compassionate? Or am I merging and hiding? One emotion. One learning. Then it can let go. That's how you help yourself. That's how you genuinely help others. And that's how empathy finally works. Key Quotes From This Episode "Empathy absorbs. Compassion supports." "Every emotion has a positive intention." "Learn the lesson — and the emotion doesn't need to stay." "Help yourself first. Then you're truly available to others." If This Resonated… Subscribe so you don't miss the next FMQ seed and deeper dive. Share this with someone who: Is emotionally drained Always takes on other people's pain Or thinks empathy is the only way to care https://personaldevelopmentunplugged.com/476-empathy-a-way-that-works-without-the-pain and don't forget the video https://youtu.be/8iAcW58QreE Let's move from drowning together… to lifting each other properly.

Why would Amazon shut down the standalone Wondery app after investing so heavily in podcasting? Today, we look at that headline and what it might signal about how major platforms are rethinking their podcast strategy. If a company like Amazon is shifting direction, it raises important questions about where podcast distribution and monetization may be headed next. Today is news day, and we also discuss growing concerns around Libsyn after reports of technical issues and a declining share of new podcast episodes, which has many podcasters wondering what may be happening behind the scenes at one of the industry's oldest hosting platforms. Plus, we explore a new AI-powered tool designed to help podcast networks manage analytics, advertising campaigns, and operations, signaling how artificial intelligence is starting to move deeper into the business side of podcasting.

Key Takeaways: Execution, Visibility, and Financial Control: How Infios Solves Global Supply Chain Challenges In "Execution, Visibility, and Financial Control: How Infios Solves Global Supply Chain Challenges", Joe Lynch and Alan Rowlett, Corporate Vice President of Infios, discuss how unifying supply chain execution and financial data builds resilience. Visibility drives value. The "End-to-End" Rebrand: Infios represents a strategic unification of industry-leading tools (like MercuryGate TMS and Körber WMS) under one flag. The goal is to move beyond "handshake" visibility to true "order-to-cash" control, spanning the entirety of a product's global journey rather than just the final few days of transport. The Three Pillars of Supply Chain: Alan defines the core of any successful supply chain through three consistent threads that have remained unchanged since the 1980s: Execution (doing the work), Visibility (status and positioning), and Financials (the ultimate measure of winning or losing). Financial Control as the Ultimate Truth: A supply chain's success is ultimately validated by the CFO. Infios focuses on eliminating data inconsistencies between operations and finance, ensuring that freight spend, accruals, and internal ledgers align perfectly to prevent the "discrediting" of logistics data. The "Silent" ROI of Freight Audit: Freight Audit and Payment (FAP) isn't just about catching errors; it's about contract adherence. Infios helps shippers recover significant costs from "freight paid but not used" (like discarded parcel labels) and service failures (like shipments missing a guaranteed 8:00 AM window). Combating Sophisticated Freight Fraud: With the rise of AI-generated fake documentation and "check-interception" by organized cartels, Infios uses its integrated system to flag discrepancies—such as a carrier being tendered as "Company X" but submitting paperwork as "Company Y"—before the invoice is paid. Legacy Systems vs. Cloud Agility: Many global enterprises are "institutionalized" with on-premise mainframes. Alan argues that the transition to the cloud is no longer just about cost-cutting; it's about adaptability. Cloud-based architecture allows for "plug-and-play" integration of AI and data aggregators that on-premise systems simply can't support. Intelligent Connectivity as a Competitive Edge: The future belongs to organizations that unify physical movement with financial flow. By automating "low-value" manual audit drudgery, companies can elevate their staff from processing transactions to analyzing high-level freight spend trends and driving strategic value.

They critiqued the film's budget constraints, werewolf design, and narrative deviations from the source material, noting its blend of horror and coming-of-age themes. José highlighted the movie's attempt to symbolize repression and the duality of human nature, while Ryan pointed out plot holes and inconsistencies. They also reflected on the cultural context of the 1980s, including references to gas shortages, alcohol can collections, and the impact of violence on society. The conversation concluded with a discussion on the evolution of television technology and its impact on viewership habits. Cycle of the Werewolf Film Analysis José and Ryan discussed the film "Cycle of the Werewolf," based on Stephen King's illustrated novella. They analyzed the movie's plot, characters, and musical score, noting its adaptation from the original story and the performances of the cast, including Gary Busey and Corey Haim. They also compared the film's portrayal of certain scenes and characters to the source material and discussed the movie's atmospheric music and visual effects. Analyzing Werewolf Movie Elements Ryan and José discussed the motivations and character development of a werewolf in a movie, focusing on its justification for killing and its background. They analyzed the werewolf's design and makeup effects, comparing it to other famous werewolf portrayals. The conversation also touched on the movie's setting, characters, and casting, including notable actors like Bill Smitrovich and Lawrence Tierney. They expressed confusion about certain plot points, such as the werewolf's choice of location to hide. Stephen King's Werewolf Film Adaptation Ryan and José discussed the film adaptation of Stephen King's novella "Cycle of the Werewolf," noting its blend of childhood adventure and horror. They observed deviations from the original story, such as the timing of the killings and the portrayal of the werewolf's behavior. José explained that the novella consists of 12 vignettes, while the film presents a more continuous narrative. They also commented on the film's casting choices, including the appearance of a character played by a young actor, and discussed the film's themes and connections to other works by King. The Wolf of Wall Street Analysis José and Ryan discussed the movie "The Wolf of Wall Street," focusing on its portrayal of a werewolf and the townspeople's futile attempt to capture it. They analyzed the character of the preacher, speculating on his motivations and the film's depiction of his curse. José and Ryan also compared the movie to the original novella by Stephen King, noting differences in plot and character development. They concluded by discussing the film's dream sequences and the effectiveness of its special effects. Silver Bullet Discussion and Comparisons José and Ryan discussed the film "Silver Bullet," focusing on its budget constraints, choreography, and werewolf transformation scenes.

Silver Bullet Movie Analysis Ryan and José discussed the movie "Silver Bullet," focusing on its plot, special effects, and character development. They noted the quality of the wheelchair built by a character and the effectiveness of the werewolf's transformation scenes. José pointed out inconsistencies in the movie's portrayal of the wheelchair and the werewolf's appearance. They also touched on the movie's narrative structure, with a girl narrating from the future. Movie Narrative and Character Analysis José and Ryan discussed the narrative choices in a movie, focusing on the decision to have an adult narrate rather than a child, which they felt might have made the story seem less threatening. They analyzed the portrayal of the town's inhabitants as unusual-looking, attributing it to the film's attempt to create an atmosphere of paranoia. The conversation also touched on the film's budget, casting choices, and the use of tropes, with José and Ryan expressing a preference for more relatable, average-looking actors in movies. They questioned the logic of certain plot points, such as the priest's missing eye and the sheriff's decision to investigate alone, and discussed the film's representation of repression through the werewolf character. Silver Bullet: Priest's Justification Ryan and José discussed the symbolism and themes in the movie "Silver Bullet," focusing on the priest's character and his justification for murder. They analyzed the tension in a scene where a disabled child is trapped and threatened, and the priest's attempt to justify his actions. The conversation also touched on the movie's availability for streaming and rental, as well as the sheriff's investigation into werewolf-related murders. Gun Violence and Werewolf Lore Ryan and José discussed the high rate of gun violence in Cleveland compared to José's home country, where such incidents are rare. They also talked about the movie "The Howling," including its werewolf lore, the making of the silver bullet, and the challenges faced during production. José mentioned that the actor Everett McGill played both the Reverend and the werewolf in the movie.

They concluded by discussing upcoming podcast plans, including interviews, character portraits, and a review of the new Hellraiser 2022 release on 4K Blu-ray.

In this interview from our archives, the executive producer of the Oprah Winfrey Show, Sheri Salata and her cohost Nancy Hala on the popular podcast, The Sheri and Nancy Show join us on this very special episode! Sheri is the author of the new book, The Beautiful No, And Other Tales of Trail, Transcendence, and Transformation. They discuss the inevitable question that arrives somewhere in your 50s: what's next? In the midst of a major career, an enriching family life, or other successes, how to you find inspiration for your next steps, and more importantly, how to make a total commitment to yourself to make that happen? Part of that is admitting that you don't need to settle for success in only one or two areas of your life: you can have the whole package—if you want it. And often it's the tiny changes that make a world of difference. They also propose trashing the now-prevalent work-life balance ideal, as all it seems to do is instill shame and failure in so many women. Lastly, they urge people to curate their own life experiences, instead of simply letting life happen. Find Sheri and Nancy on Instagram. ***The Bittersweet Life podcast has been on the air for an impressive 10+ years!

Financial literacy is not just a client issue; it is a national opportunity for CPA financial planners to lead. With only half of Americans understanding basic financial principles and many households living paycheck to paycheck, the profession is uniquely positioned to step beyond the conference room and into classrooms, community groups, and public conversations. In this episode, Host Cary Sinnett discusses with Julia Bush how CPAs can turn technical expertise into measurable impact. Julia explains why financial literacy remains one of the most critical life skills Americans are often expected to "teach themselves" and why that model continues to fall short, particularly for students. While 30 states now require personal finance education in high schools, funding and implementation gaps persist. The conversation explores: The behavioral gap between knowing and doing in personal finance Why accountability and small actionable steps matter How CPAs can partner with schools, nonprofits, and community groups The impact of organizations like Junior Achievement Practical first steps financial professionals can take to create measurable change For CPA financial planners, this episode is both a call to action and a roadmap for engagement.

Empathy Sucks (Unless It's With Yourself) I said it. Empathy sucks. Now before you unsubscribe and send me a strongly worded email… hear me out. In this episode I'm diving deep into something that most people believe is a virtue — feeling other people's pain. And yes, empathy can be beautiful. But if all you do is absorb the emotions of others, carry their struggles, and ignore your own… that's not kindness. That's self-neglect. Here's what I explore in this episode: Why absorbing other people's pain drains your emotional energy How empathy can become a way of avoiding your own feelings Why suppressed emotions don't disappear — they generalise The difference between empathy and compassion (and why it matters) How to process your own emotions so they stop running your life Simple processes to turn emotional overwhelm into emotional strength I truly believe this: If you deal with your stuff first, you help people better. When you stop hiding from your own emotions and learn from them instead, something shifts. You become grounded. Present. Powerful. And far more able to support others without drowning in their experience. This episode includes practical processes to: Work with difficult emotions Discover the positive intention behind them Stop suppressing and start learning Shift from emotional sponge to compassionate supporter Because compassion sustains. Empathy without boundaries drains. And if you're going to feel deeply… start by feeling for yourself. This Episode Is For You If: You feel emotionally drained by other people You often absorb the moods of those around you You struggle to process your own emotions You consider yourself "an empath" but feel overwhelmed You want stronger emotional resilience You want to help others without losing yourself A Simple Practice From This Episode Before helping someone else this week, ask yourself: "Am I grounded… or am I hiding?" Then sit with one emotion of your own. Ask: What are you trying to teach me? What are you protecting me from? What can I learn from you? Learn the lesson. And watch what shifts. Share The Love If this episode resonated with you: Subscribe Share it with someone who gives too much of themselves https://personaldevelopmentunplugged.com/fmq527-empathy-sucks-unless-its-with-yourself Leave a review Let's help more people become emotionally strong instead of emotionally overloaded. And as always… Have more fun than you can stand. Shine Brightly

In "Is Your ERP a Data Graveyard: How to Unlock Millions with Nauta's Valentina Jordan", Joe Lynch and Valentina Jordan, Co-Founder and CEO of Nauta, discuss how structuring fragmented data turns supply chain silos into actionable revenue. About Valentina Jordan Valentina Jordan is the Co-Founder and CEO of Nauta, where she is re-engineering supply chains through clean AI data infrastructure. Previously, Valentina led product for Rappi's largest business segment, helping build and scale the core product stack behind Latin America's largest delivery platform, before bringing that same operational rigor to leadership roles at Amazon. At Nauta, Valentina brings a product-first, systems-level perspective to rethinking how supply chains operate, tackling the industry's most foundational challenge: building clean, structured data infrastructure that enables smarter decision-making. About Nauta Nauta is the AI-native operating system that connects your inventory, logistics, and procurement data into one intelligent layer. By acting as an intelligent membrane over existing ERP, TMS, and WMS systems, Nauta eliminates "data graveyards" by unifying fragmented data from emails, documents, and spreadsheets into a single source of truth. The platform moves beyond simple visibility, providing SKU-level insights and automated workflows that allow shippers to proactively manage exception handling and cash flow. Trusted by multinational leaders in the food, beverage, and retail sectors including distributors for brands like New Balance, Modelo, and L'Oreal, Nauta manages data for enterprises representing over $15B in annual sales. SOC 2 Type II certified, the platform empowers manufacturers and retailers to reduce container lifecycle times, prevent stockouts, and eliminate costly penalties like detention fees. Nauta's mission is to provide the standardized "rails of data infrastructure" necessary for truly autonomous and resilient global supply chains.  Key Takeaways: Is Your ERP a Data Graveyard: How to Unlock Millions In "Is Your ERP a Data Graveyard: How to Unlock Millions with Nauta's Valentina Jordan", Joe Lynch and Valentina Jordan, Co-Founder and CEO of Nauta, discuss how structuring fragmented data turns supply chain silos into actionable revenue. The "Data Fragmentation" Mess: Global shippers are stuck with data trapped in emails, PDFs, and clunky legacy systems. This chaos forces teams to waste 75% of their day babysitting spreadsheets instead of making moves that actually scale the business. One Single Source of Truth: Nauta fixes this as an AI-native engine that pulls those messy data streams into one place. From finance to procurement, everyone works off the same live data—killing "tribal knowledge" for good. The Real Cost of Stockouts: For brands like Modelo or L'Oreal, a stockout isn't just a missed sale; it's a hit to your reputation and a massive financial penalty. Nauta shifts you from reactive "firefighting" to proactive prevention. Saving Millions in Revenue: Using predictive analytics, Nauta's inventory engine flags risks weeks in advance. One customer even saved $1.2M in a single quarter by dodging retail penalties and lost sales. Killing "Dry Runs" and Fees: Shippers pay for empty trucks because they can't see what's happening at the port. Nauta's predictive tech and automated communication can slash detention costs by up to 80%. SKU-Level Control: Most platforms track the box; Nauta tracks the product. We map data down to the individual item, so you know exactly which vessel is carrying your high-priority promotional stock.

In this episode, I dive into the real data behind my first course sales and unpack what I'm calling micro moments of trust. By tracking the interactions people had with my content, I discovered it took about seven touchpoints – ads, profile visits, automated DMs, stories, and more – before a complete stranger decided to buy. It's a behind-the-scenes look at how trust builds online and why strategic touchpoints matter more than being everywhere. RESOURCES MENTIONED NOTE: Some links below contain affiliate/referral links.

Why is emotional intelligence no longer optional for leaders facing change and challenging conversations? Amy Jacobson joins Kevin to discuss what emotional intelligence really is and why it matters more than ever. They explore emotional intelligence as a skill, not an identity, emphasizing that EQ shows up in the how and why behind our decisions and behaviors. Amy shares a common misconception about emotional intelligence, clarifying that it isn't about avoiding conflict, being agreeable, or maintaining constant positivity, but about understanding emotions, regulating responses, and choosing actions that move people and outcomes forward. Amy also introduces relatable metaphors, such as treating change as if it were "your baby," to explain why leaders often overlook the emotional experience of those affected by change. Amy's Story: Amy Jacobson is the author of Emotional Intelligence: A Simple and Actionable Guide to Increasing Performance, Engagement and Ownership and her new book The Emotional Intelligence Advantage: Mastering Change and Difficult Conversations. She is an emotional intelligence and human behavior specialist. Previously featured in Fast Company, The Daily Telegraph, News.com.au and more, Jacobson trains corporations, companies and groups large and small in both private and public sectors about the importance of emotional intelligence. She uses simple, actionable strategies—and a bit of tough love where needed—to help leaders and employees understand that no matter what industry you are part of, our biggest challenges are always the same. When she's not working, Jacobson enjoys musicals, basketball, traveling and dining out. She and her husband, Mark, share two teenage children. This Episode is brought to you by...

In "The Logistics of Growth: Scaling Freight Tech Companies", Joe Lynch and Will Urban, Founder and Principal of Will Urban Consulting, discuss the strategic intersection of traditional logistics discipline and high-velocity tech innovation to drive multi-billion dollar scale. About Will Urban Will Urban is the Founder and Principal of Will Urban Consulting, a premier advisory firm specializing in scaling global logistics and freight tech organizations. With over 30 years of executive leadership experience, Will has navigated the evolution of the industry at the highest levels, holding pivotal roles at both the traditional logistics powerhouse Expeditors and the digital disruptor Flexport. During his tenure as Chief Revenue Officer at Flexport, he was instrumental in driving the company's organic revenue growth from $600 million to over $5 billion. Today, Will leverages his extensive background as a full partner at R7 and a venture partner at firms like Companyon and Nine Realms. He is a deeply connected figure in the supply chain ecosystem, serving as an investor, advisor, and board member for numerous startups and venture capital firms, where he bridges the gap between complex logistics operations and institutional investment. About Will Urban Consulting (WUC) Will Urban Consulting (WUC) is an elite consultancy dedicated to helping supply chain and freight tech companies master the "Logistics of Growth." Founded by Will Urban following his successful tenure at Flexport, the firm occupies a unique niche by providing executive-level expertise that blends traditional logistics excellence with modern digital scale. WUC is comprised of a global team of specialists—many of whom are veterans of Expeditors and Flexport—who focus on refining go-to-market strategies, accelerating revenue growth, and building sustainable sales organizations. Beyond operational consulting, WUC acts as a strategic bridge to the capital markets, helping startups navigate the complexities of fundraising by leveraging a deep network of venture capital and private equity investors. Operating on a flexible, month-to-month model, WUC provides clients with immediate ROI and unparalleled access to a global network of shippers, carriers, and industry leaders. Key Takeaways: The Logistics of Growth: Scaling Freight Tech Companies In "The Logistics of Growth: Scaling Freight Tech Companies", Joe Lynch and Will Urban, Founder and Principal of Will Urban Consulting, discuss the strategic intersection of traditional logistics discipline and high-velocity tech innovation to drive multi-billion dollar scale. The Power of Hybrid Expertise: Will Urban offers a unique "ground-up" perspective by bridging the gap between traditional logistics giants (Expeditors) and modern digital disruptors (Flexport). This dual experience allows him to help companies balance the disciplined, P&L-focused rigor of established firms with the "move fast" agility of tech unicorns. The "Inside Man" for Fundraising: For startups, navigating the VC world is often a translation problem. Will acts as a strategic bridge, helping founders articulate the value of supply chain nuances to generalist investors and ensuring they pitch to the right firms whose investment appetite matches their specific business model. A "Disciplined Grind" for Scaling: There is no "silver bullet" for massive growth. Drawing from his experience leading Flexport from $600 million to over $5 billion in organic revenue, Will emphasizes that scaling requires a disciplined, high-execution grind and a focus on building sustainable, global go-to-market programs. Democratizing Technology (The Convoy/DAT Model): A significant trend in freight tech is the transition from standalone products to integrated ecosystems. The acquisition of Convoy's platform by DAT illustrates how best-in-class technology can be used to drastically reduce the "cost to cover" a load, democratizing high-end tools for smaller trucking operations. Economics Matter (P&L Discipline): Despite the high-growth expectations of venture capital, Will maintains that the P&L always matters. He advises tech companies to align their pricing with the transactional nature of the logistics industry, as many clients prefer transactional costs over fixed, bottom-line software fees. Leveraging Relational Capital: In an increasingly digital industry, deep human networks remain a primary driver of success. Will's 30-year network of shippers, carriers, and executives provides "warm" entry points that are often more valuable than any piece of software for securing market share. Identifying and Investing in "Grit": Beyond just technical viability, Will looks for "gumption" and persistence in founders. His investment philosophy—often through his family office or as a venture partner—prioritizes individuals who demonstrate the hustle and resilience required to survive the volatile cycles of the global supply chain.
