Full episode description What might become possible if you stopped keeping an escape route—and devoted yourself completely to what you love? In this intimate and poetic conversation, Michael sits down with bestselling poet and author Allie Michelle, whose work explores love, loss, creativity, lineage, and the courage to remain fully human. Allie shares the moment she closed her businesses and committed herself entirely to writing—only to receive an unexpected book offer from HarperCollins. As she describes it: “You chose your art, and your art chose you back.” Together, Michael and Allie explore what it means to create in an age of constant distraction; why boredom may be the birthplace of art; and how the parts of ourselves we suppress often return through the people we love. Allie reflects on walking the Camino de Santiago without her phone, becoming “Freedom Wolf,” and moving from being a writer holding a pen to becoming “a pen in life's hand.” They also journey through the unsent words we carry, the courage required to keep the heart open, the wisdom of lineage, and the beauty of making something no one may ever witness—from a pianist playing alone in a forest to an Indigenous flower blessing offered at sunrise. This is a conversation about burning the boats, letting failure deepen the work, loving people beyond our projections, and singing your song even—and especially—when no one is listening. In this episode: Why distraction is the death of art and boredom its birthplace The danger of living like a personal brand How to recognize the work that is truly calling you What Allie learned from a samurai master Burning the boats and abandoning your escape routes Why failure is a comma, not a period The connection between suppressed identity and romantic attraction Reclaiming the wild, “feral” parts of ourselves The practice of identifying your unsent letters Creating as an offering rather than a performance Why sensitivity can become an artist's greatest instrument Honoring endings, impermanence, and the many lives we live Allie closes the episode with a breathtaking poem imagining a life lived in reverse—a reminder to find magic in the ordinary and return to the only moment we ever truly possess: Just here. Just now. Just this. Featured book: Don't Forget to Light the Candles by Allie Michelle.

Most mainstream media outlets have spent the last several years convincing Americans that a recession is either here or just around the corner. But according to tech analyst Ray Wang and category design pioneer Christopher Lochhead, the real story about the US economy looks very different from what we are being fed. In a recent episode of Disrupt TV, the two thought leaders broke down the actual data behind American economic growth, the rise of AI-driven entrepreneurship, and a new investment program that could reshape generational wealth in this country. You're listening to Christopher Lochhead: Follow Your Different. We are the real dialogue podcast for people with a different mind. So get your mind in a different place, and hey ho, let's go.   Record Business Starts Signal a Thriving US Economy Despite relentless recession predictions from commentators and media personalities, Americans are starting new companies at a record pace. More than 5.6 million business applications were filed in 2025 alone, with over 400,000 new companies being created every single month. This level of entrepreneurial activity has not been seen in the modern era. Layoffs are also at historic lows, GDP is still growing, and inflation has come down from 4.2% in May to 3.5%. Initial unemployment claims have recently fallen to their lowest level since 1969. Meanwhile, prediction markets like Kalshi and Polymarket have dropped recession odds from around 28 to 30% in April to just 4 to 11% today, showing that people putting real money on the line do not believe a recession is coming.   AI Is Creating a New Class of Entrepreneur The rise of artificial intelligence is fundamentally changing who can build and run a successful business. Small teams of two to three people are now executing at a level that previously required thirty or more employees. This shift from knowledge worker to what Lochhead calls a “creator capitalist” is fueling much of the new company growth happening across the US economy. Ray Wang noted that we are beginning to see ten-person companies generating hundreds of millions in revenue, and the trend is only accelerating. As an example, the former CEO of Kirkland and Ellis, the largest law firm in the United States, left to launch an AI-first law firm called Irving with just twenty people. This signals a profound restructuring of professional services and virtually every other industry, driven entirely by AI innovation.   Trump Accounts Could Close the Wealth Gap One of the most underreported developments in the US economy is the launch of the Invest America program, commonly referred to as Trump accounts. Every child born in America can now receive a $1,000 federal contribution into a protected investment account that grows through an index fund until the child turns eighteen. Family members and friends can contribute up to $5,000 per year into these accounts and receive a tax break for doing so. The math behind compounding returns is striking. A child who receives $5,000 per year from birth to age eighteen, invested in the S&P 500, could have approximately $250,000 by their eighteenth birthday. Michael and Susan Dell have already pledged $6.25 billion to give $250 to twenty-five million American children aged ten and under, making it the largest charitable investment gift in American history. Lochhead believes this new model of charitable investing, giving gifts that compound over time rather than providing temporary relief, represents a powerful and lasting solution to economic inequality.

Most high-income W-2 earners eventually run into the same problem. Their income gets better, but their structure does not. Airline pilots are one of the clearest examples. They can earn exceptional money, receive strong retirement contributions, and build what looks like a very successful financial life on paper. But as the income grows, so does the constraint: almost all of it is active, highly taxable, and tied to a system that gives them very few levers to pull. And pilots are not the only ones facing this. Doctors, executives, engineers, senior tech employees, corporate leaders, and employees sitting on major equity events can all end up in the same position. A big salary, bonus, liquidity event, or IPO can create life-changing income, but if that income is still flowing through a W-2 structure, the tax problem does not disappear. In many cases, it becomes more obvious. In this episode of Money School Elite, I sit down with Ryan Gibson, former airline pilot and co-founder of Spartan Investment Group, to talk about the difference between earning more money and changing the facts of your financial life. Ryan spent 17 years as an airline pilot before building a self-storage company with 90 facilities, roughly 7.5 million square feet, and about 200 employees. He understands the high-income W-2 problem because he lived it, and his perspective goes beyond simply making more, saving more, or maxing out retirement accounts. We get into why pilots and other high earners often pay more in taxes as their income rises, how strong retirement contributions should change the way they think about excess cash flow, why ownership opens up tax advantages employees often cannot access, and how self-storage can give investors exposure to real estate without buying themselves another job. This is not really a conversation about pilots, and it is not only about self-storage. It is about how high-income earners can turn income into structure, ownership, cash flow, tax efficiency, and long-term financial control.   About the Guest Ryan Gibson is the Co-Founder, President, and Chief Investment Officer of Spartan Investment Group, a commercial real estate firm focused on self-storage and private real estate investment opportunities. A former airline pilot with 17 years of active flying experience, Ryan brings a unique perspective to wealth-building for high-income W-2 professionals, especially pilots who are earning high incomes but often facing significant tax challenges. Through Spartan Investment Group, he helps individual investors access private real estate opportunities designed to create diversification, cash flow, tax advantages, and long-term wealth outside the traditional W-2 and 401(k) framework. Spartan has grown into a national self-storage platform with 90 facilities, roughly 7.5 million square feet, and approximately 200 employees. Ryan's real estate experience spans residential development, self-storage, infill development, finance, sales, marketing, investor relations, tax foreclosures, inherited homes and estates, and real estate syndication. He is also the co-founder of Passive Income Pilots, a platform and podcast that educates pilots and other high-income professionals on passive investing, tax strategy, real estate, and building wealth beyond the paycheck.   Spartan Investment Group: spartan-investors.com Join the Free Academy: ryan@spartan-investors.com Passive Income Pilots Podcast: https://passiveincomepilots.com/ Ryan Gibson on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ryan-gibson1/   About Your Host From pro-snowboarder to money mogul, Chris Naugle has dedicated his life to being America's #1 Money Mentor.

In this milestone 200th episode of The Unconventional Path, hosts Bela Musits and Mike Wasserman celebrate a major achievement. Only 2.66% of the 4.3 million podcasts globally reach the 200-episode mark, and the team credits their listeners for joining them on this journey of entrepreneurship and innovation. To celebrate, they sit down with Henry DeVries, the CEO of Indie Books International and a former columnist for Forbes. Henry is a master of "Authority Marketing," a strategy that uses book authorship to establish credibility, attract "right-fit" clients, and grow a business. Whether you are a consultant "renting your brain" or a CEO managing a global corporation, Henry explains why a book remains the number one marketing tool in a digital world. The Power of Authority: Henry explains that "authority" literally starts with "author". Writing a book allows you to stop chasing clients and start attracting them by sharing your proprietary processes and expertise. A Book as a Cultural Foundation: Beyond marketing, a book can define a company's culture by codifying core values through stories. Henry shares how legendary leaders like Ray Kroc (McDonald's) and Jack Welch (GE) used books to align their organizations. The "Invisible" Impact: Most people who find value in an author's work may not even finish the book. Henry notes that a book acts as a "three-dimensional business card" that opens doors for speaking engagements, podcasts, and high-level consulting deals. Publishing is the Starting Line: Henry debunks the myth of being "discovered". He provides a practical "marathon" strategy for promotion, including mailing 20 copies a month to key influencers and securing regular speaking spots. Entrepreneurial Resilience: Reflecting on starting his business during the 9/11 crisis, Henry shares lessons on persistence and the importance of listening to what the market actually wants from you. Bela and Mike reflect on how storytelling is the "connective tissue" of successful business communication. They discuss the affordability of professional book production and how a book serves as a lasting foundation for all other media channels, from short-form videos to keynote speeches.

What if the businesses most people overlook are the ones most quietly building generational wealth?  In this episode of That Will Nevr Work, Maurice sits down with Jon Ostenson — founder and CEO of FranBridge Consulting, top 1% franchise consultant in the United States, 2x Inc. 5000 company builder, Forbes contributor, and author of the bestselling Non-Food Franchising. Jon spent fifteen years building an elite corporate career — from international consulting at Accenture, to Vice President of Sales at Carter's managing over $350 million annually, to President of ShelfGenie's 200-location national franchise system — before making the focused, deliberate bet that changed everything: building the country's defining practice in non-food franchise consulting at a time when 80% of the market was talking about food. Today, FranBridge has guided thousands of entrepreneurs toward franchise investments in over 600 high-growth, cash-flowing brands across home services, senior care, property services, pet care, health and wellness, and dozens more — with over 90% of clients investing in an industry that was never on their radar when they arrived.  In this conversation, Jon and Maurice dig into:Why niching down is the most powerful path to scaling upThe corporate exit story — what fifteen years inside the machine built and what it couldn'tWhy non-food franchising is the most underestimated wealth-building asset class availableThe semi-absentee model — building income without building another jobThe discipline of strategic "no" and why saying less yes is what most businesses need mostThe lightbulb moment — why the best opportunity almost never looks like what you expectedBuilding toward generational wealth through focused, intentional business ownership  This one is for every entrepreneur who is spreading too thin, every corporate professional who wants to own something without losing everything, and every dreamer who has been told the obvious path is the best one.

McManus and Gabe McManus for a candid conversation about authority, organic growth, client acquisition, and how financial advisors can use books and media to become more influential in their markets.You'll learn how financial advisors can:• Use a book to build credibility before the first meeting• Stop relying exclusively on cold leads and chasing prospects• Turn referrals into stronger trust-based conversations• Integrate a book into seminars, CPA relationships, client events, and acquisitions• Differentiate themselves when prospects are comparing multiple advisors• Use stories to show ideal clients that they understand their concerns• Build authority through books, podcasts, YouTube, and other media• Transfer the founder's ideas and credibility to other members of the team• Turn a book into a playbook for clients, prospects, and employees• Use authority marketing to strengthen existing business development activities• Accelerate the speed of trust during the sales process• Build visibility that continues working even when the founder is not in the roomOne of Jon's most powerful observations is that the book does not work because it sits on Amazon. Its value comes from consistently putting it into the hands of prospects, clients, centers of influence, and people evaluating the firm.Jon describes his book as a credibility piece and differentiator. When two advisors appear equally capable, being the advisor who has clearly articulated a point of view in a book can help tilt the decision in your favor.The larger opportunity is not simply becoming an author. It is using the ideas inside the book as the foundation for a broader authority system that supports referrals, seminars, acquisitions, media, team growth, and better client conversations.ABOUT JON KUTTINJon Kuttin is a Barron's Hall of Fame Advisor and longtime financial services leader with more than 25 years of experience building and growing advisory businesses.Since beginning his career in 1994, Jon has been recognized among Barron's Top 100 Independent Financial Advisors and has also received recognition from Forbes and the Financial Times.In addition to leading his financial advisory practice, Jon founded Kuttin Consulting Group to help financial advisors and financial professionals grow through leadership, acquisitions, professional alliances, recruiting, organic growth, and other strategic initiatives.Over the course of his career, he has helped more than 1,000 CPAs and financial professionals rethink and grow their practices.ABOUT INFLUENTIAL ADVISOR MEDIAThe Influential Advisor Podcast, hosted by Paul G.

In this episode •      Shadow Day: the only total solar eclipse of 2026 crosses Arctic Russia, Greenland, western Iceland and northern Spain today — the first total eclipse over western mainland Europe since 1999 (Spain's first since 1905, Iceland's since 1954). Max totality ~2 min 18 s. Reykjavík ~17:48 UT; northern Spain ~18:27–18:33 UT (Sun very low, ~4–10° up). Live via NASA, timeanddate and the Exploratorium. •      Where you are: North America gets an afternoon partial (Nova Scotia ~33%, N. Maine ~28%, Montreal ~18%, Boston ~16%, NYC ~9–10%, Toronto ~8%, DC ~10%; Fairbanks ~37% in the morning) — no totality anywhere on the continent, glasses on throughout. Europe outside the path sees a deep evening partial (London ~91%). Australia/SH: not visible directly — watch the streams (~1:30–6:00 am AEST Thu). •      Chasing the shadow: NASA's WB-57 jet flies the path at ~50,000 ft (~740 km/h), extending totality to nearly 3 minutes with four visible/IR cameras (SCIFI) to probe coronal heating, prominences and the solar wind (PI Amir Caspi, SwRI). The Nationwide Eclipse Ballooning Project (A. Des Jardins, Montana State) launches ~86 balloons from Iceland and Spain to measure atmospheric changes. •      A star-building magnetic field: ALMA captures the first direct high-resolution image of a twisted, toroidal magnetic field wrapped around a protostellar jet in NGC 1333 IRAS 4A (~960 ly, Perseus cloud), confirming a decades-old prediction of how young stars launch jets and shed spin — the same physics that scales up to black-hole jets (Ching et al., Nature Communications 2026; NSF NRAO/ALMA). •      Why worlds turn hellish: UC Riverside's Stephen Kane argues planetary rotation is an overlooked driver of climate and habitability — slow spin may help tip a world into a Venus-style runaway greenhouse. Measuring true spin is hard because winds can masquerade as rotation; ESA's PLATO (launch March 2027) could test the idea across hundreds of Venus-like planets (Astronomical Journal, accepted). •      Skywatch — both hemispheres: the Perseids peak overnight 12–13 Aug under a genuinely moonless sky (best midnight–dawn; NH-favoured). Southern Hemisphere: evening Venus (mag −4.4, just past dichotomy), the pre-dawn planet line-up, and Comet 10P/Tempel 2.

What if every “no” you've ever gotten was actually life quietly rerouting you toward something better? In this episode of The Midlife Makeover Show, Wendy Valentine sits down with Katelyn Rhoades — Forbes-featured social media strategist, founder of Enfluence Marketing Studio, and host of the top-ranked Call Her Creator podcast. Katelyn shares how she went from selling her own clothes for grocery money to building a seven-figure brand, growing an audience of 250,000+ from scratch, and turning a $19 digital product into a six-figure income stream. She opens up about growing up feeling like a burden, healing the people pleaser inside, taking messy action, and why rejection is just redirection. Whether you're rebuilding after divorce, an empty nest, or a career change, this conversation is your permission slip to get visible, bet on yourself, and create a life you're obsessed with — because it is never too late to start over.✨ What You'll LearnWhy rejection is just redirection — and how to stop overpersonalizing every “no”How to take messy action when you're scared, broke, or still waiting to feel “ready”The visibility shift that turns being seen into real opportunities (and real revenue)How to rediscover your purpose by going back to what you loved as a kidWhy midlife is the BEST time to start over — more wisdom, more resources, zero patience for other people's timelines

Amazon keeps raising the bar. Steve Dennis and Michael LeBlanc open with the retailer's blockbuster quarter: massive gains in AWS and advertising, staggering AI capex, and retail revenue up 16% year over year, up from 12% last year. Third-party sellers now drive more than 60% of the business, and Citi pegs underlying GMV growth near 10%, roughly double the industry average. Amazon's B2B division alone now tops $60 billion, bigger than all but eleven U.S. retailers. Then the hosts dig into the agentic commerce numbers Amazon disclosed as Rufus folds into Alexa shopping, why sample bias demands caution here, and how grocery momentum is turning Amazon into a mega market-share threat.  Then: Shopify's revenue up 32%, and the tale-of-two-cities reality that a handful of giants now drive nearly all e-commerce growth. A mid-year check on Steve's Prediction #8 — luxury's future won't be evenly distributed. LVMH, Kering, and Capri lag on China softness and war induced Gulf weakness, while Hermès, Ralph Lauren, Richemont, and Zegna keep delivering outsized results. Live from the CommerceNext Growth Show: Kartik Hosanagar. He's Wharton's John C. Hower Professor of Technology and Digital Business, author of A Human's Guide to Machine Intelligence, and co-founder of Bliss Labs. His argument: the biggest shift in retail isn't a new technology or channel. It's a new customer. Treating AI as another distribution channel is the same mistake movie studios made with Netflix. There's no marketing science for AI yet. $9.99 pricing, scarcity, social proof — a model may not respond to any of it. Kartik walks through the Ridge wallet case: invisible in ChatGPT's "gifts for men" results, then the default recommendation within three weeks, complete with a hallucinated promotion. Every retailer faces the same fork: efficiency or meaning. The middle is the most dangerous place to stand. Kartik also details the simulation sandboxes that let brands test counterfactuals in a day instead of eight weeks, why you can't just ask an LLM why it picked a brand, and the three attitudes retailers need now: curious, experimental, collaborative Back in studio: Wayfair's encouraging quarter and Steve's change of heart, Warby Parker's mixed report as store count passes 400, tariff rebates ($100 billion of $160 billion already repaid, more tariffs looming), and whether live selling has hit its tipping point with QVC out of bankruptcy and Whatnot valued at $20 billion.

The 20 percent who love the fight own the microphone. This is a conversation about how the other 80 take it back. Manu Meel runs BridgeUSA, a student-led movement for constructive dialogue now on college campuses across the country. Liz Joyner founded The Village Square and has spent two decades rebuilding civic trust hometown by hometown. Together they make the case that the sharpest divide in America is no longer left against right, but open against closed, and that the most countercultural act available to any of us is a real conversation with someone we can't stand. Calls to Action ✅ Leave a rating and review: lovethepodcast.com/politicsandreligion ✅ Subscribe on Substack: coreysnathan.substack.com ✅ Watch and subscribe on YouTube: youtube.com/@politicsandreligion ✅ Share this episode with someone who reads the news and someone who's given up on it Key Takeaways The new divide isn't left versus right. Meel argues the real split is temperament: builders versus breakers, open versus closed. Politics maps onto it poorly, which is why so many people feel homeless in the current fight. The exhausted majority is the whole game. Twenty percent love the conflict and control the mic; everyone else is worn out by it. Whether that 80 percent checks out or takes the mic back is the question that decides things. The rebellion is the conversation. Meel describes Bridge chapters filling with first-time students the night of Charlie Kirk's assassination, and the organization adding tens of thousands of followers with no ad spend. Outrage is the establishment now; curiosity is the counterculture. About Our Guests Manu Meel is the co-founder and CEO of BridgeUSA, a student-led movement that brings young people across the political spectrum into the same room for honest conversation. A 2020 UC Berkeley graduate and Forbes 30 Under 30 honoree, he serves on the boards of Braver Angels, Convergence, and American Promise, and hosts the podcast The Hopeful Majority. Liz Joyner is the founder and president of The Village Square, a nonprofit that rebuilds civic trust between neighbors who don't look or think alike. Based in Tallahassee, she has led the organization for close to two decades and helped pioneer the community-level model much of the bridging field now draws on.

Send us Fan MailWhen Connor Schoen co-founded Breaktime at just 19 years old, he set out to change the lives of young adults experiencing homelessness. Years later, after leading one of Boston's most influential nonprofits, receiving national recognition, and navigating the pressures of leadership, he found himself confronting a different question: Who am I becoming?In this episode of At the Podium, Connor reflects on the hidden cost of leadership, learning to embrace rather than hide his youth, coming out as pansexual, and discovering that authentic leadership begins when the person you are in public and the person you are in private become one.This conversation isn't simply about running a nonprofit. It's about identity, integrity, purpose, and the freedom to keep evolving. Together, we explore what it means to lead without performing, to hold power with humility, and to build a life that remains open to whatever comes next.Whether you're leading a company, building a career, navigating your own identity, or simply wondering who you're becoming, Connor's story is a thoughtful reminder that the greatest leadership journey is often the one taking place within ourselves.Connor Schoen is the Co-Founder and Executive Director of Breaktime, a Boston-based nonprofit working to end young adult homelessness.

Posting good content stopped working the moment everyone could make it. Katelyn Bourgoin knows both sides of that shift: Forbes hyped her startup as the next LinkedIn for women entrepreneurs, it went bankrupt anyway, and she rebuilt from zero into a one-woman business built on a single ownable idea, buyer psychology, now read by more than 63,000 marketers. This episode is about the move that made the difference: becoming known for one idea instead of chasing visibility everywhere.In this conversation, we get into:- The real reason Justin Welsh owns the word "solopreneur" when someone else coined it years earlier- Why your most valuable idea feels too obvious for you to notice and how outsiders spot it in minutes- A live teardown where Katelyn runs her framework on my own idea in real time- The one-week assignment that surfaces the idea you could become known forIf you are an expert whose reputation is smaller than your skill, this conversation shows what to build instead of another content calendar.

Most of us think the hard part of entrepreneurship is strategy. Then we hit a moment where the tactics work, the money shows up, and we still feel restless, split, or oddly numb. That's where this conversation goes. I'm joined by leadership coach and author Celine DaCosta to talk about shadow work, wholeness, and why the stories we tell about our past quietly shape our leadership, our relationships, and our financial decisions.We dig into Carl Jung's idea of the shadow and what “integration” looks like in real life: noticing the parts we've pushed away, bringing them back into awareness, and letting them belong. Celine shares a four-phase map of human transformation that shows up again and again for founders: awakening to a repeating pattern, reckoning with the identity that needs to die, entering the void and stillness after the chaos, and finally sharing a new story through your work. We also name a trap I see constantly in business and brand building: trying to launch, publish, or “rebrand” from phase two, then calling it a marketing problem when it's really an identity problem.From there we get practical. Celine walks me through a simple way to rewrite the future from a clean slate by dropping into the body, naming values, and choosing the path that expands rather than contracts. We close with her upcoming book, The Burning Ground, which tells the story of her circumnavigating the globe through pure human connection and turning that journey into a companion for anyone navigating a major transition.If you're building a purpose-driven business and you want a healthier relationship with money, work, and yourself, listen now.

Co-parenting takes two people willing to show up. Susan Guthrie says that when only one parent is willing, it is one of the most common and most exhausting struggles she sees, and it is exactly the situation divorce parenting expert Christina McGhee helps families navigate.  Parenting even under the best of circumstances is challenging. Add in a co-parent who is uncooperative or high-conflict, and it becomes downright exhausting, leaving you feeling like you are constantly trying to protect your kids while managing someone who is not making it easy.  Christina tackles one of the toughest situations of all, co-parenting when there is no real co-parent on the other side, and shares her top tips for working through the feelings of hopelessness and exhaustion that come with it. Together, she and Susan talk through how to get to a place of being in control of yourself and your emotions, so you can stay grounded, set boundaries, keep your children out of the middle, and show up as an empowered, consistent, engaging, and confident parent no matter what your co-parent is doing. What You'll Learn  What Christina means when she says “When there's no “Co” in Co-parenting…” Instead of staying focused on fixing the co-parent, lean into your co-parenting values and work on yourself Radical acceptance: Adjust your expectations and accept things the way they are…for now. “It may not get easier, but how you manage it makes a difference.”  Ask yourself: How is your response going to impact your children? Talk about the problem, not the person. “Making the other parent look small will never make you look big.” Don't forget about the power of one!  Episode 5 of 8 in the Divorce & Beyond Summer Essentials Series.

The Skip Heard Around the Podcasting World - Spotify's "Skip Forward" fallout The big story of the week: Spotify's new ad-skipping option for premium users, first flagged by James Cridland (PodNews) and picked up by Elsie Escobar and Rob Walch on In and Around Podcasting. Marv unpacks why it's such a headache for ad-supported podcasters, traces it back to Spotify's 2018 "Active Media" experiment in Australia, and previews Neil Veglio's upcoming Podmastery episode (Monday 10th August) on how creators might respond — including making shows "less skippable."Sodajerker Songwriting Lab — quick announcement A special one-day workshop from Bri and Si of Sodajerker on Songwriting, Friday 4th September at the Royal Birmingham Conservatoire, with songwriters Sacha Skarbek and Ben Parker.

Football franchises run on data. Jono Luk of Sumer Sports explains how AI is changing who wins — on the field and in the stands.Full Show Notes:Most sports AI coverage focuses on stats. Jono Luk, Chief Product Officer at Sumer Sports, is thinking about something harder: measuring what a player decided, not just what they did. Sumer's computer vision tracks all 22 players up to 60 times per second, generating probabilities for every moment of every play — not to describe what happened, but to evaluate whether the best decision was made.That depth of game intelligence turns out to be useful in two places. For coaches, GMs, and scouts, it surfaces skill that box scores miss entirely. For the business side of a franchise, that same real-time game data becomes the trigger for personalized fan experiences — the right offer, the right moment, whether someone is in the stadium or watching from a sports bar. Jono calls this the before, during, and after — and argues it's the same attract-retain-monetize cycle every enterprise runs, just with a different playbook.The episode also covers what Jono wishes organizations understood before they start any AI conversation: AI isn't synonymous with LLMs. Computer vision, specialized models, and multi-component pipelines built for specific data types are doing work that frontier models simply aren't designed for. That framing matters for any enterprise buyer, not just sports franchises.What We Cover:How Sumer Sports uses computer vision to evaluate player decisions, not just outcomesWhy specialized AI models outperform general-purpose frontier models for sports analyticsThe two sides of AI in a football franchise: football operations and fan engagementHow real-time game data triggers personalized in-venue and at-home fan experiencesWhat the NIL era means for AI-assisted recruiting at college and high school levelsWhy AI in the enterprise isn't just about LLMs — and how to think about the broader toolkitThe one question Jono wants every organization to ask before deploying AIGuest Bio:Jono Luk is Chief Product Officer at Sumer Sports, a football data analytics and AI company that uses computer vision to analyze every player, every game, in real time. Before Sumer, Jono held product and technology leadership roles at Cisco. He brings a cross-industry perspective on how AI fits into larger solutions — not as a replacement for human judgment, but as the infrastructure that surfaces better decisions faster.Sumer Sports: https://www.sumersports.comJono Luk on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jonoluk/ (confirm URL before publishing)Resources Mentioned:Sumer Sports: https://www.sumersports.comLopez Research: https://www.lopezresearch.com/research/

She didn't blame the political climate. She blamed herself. Julie Kratz lost 90% of her clients in a single year, let her team go, and then did something almost no one in her position does: she spent 60 hours interviewing the very people her industry had written off, and discovered the entire approach to building inclusive organizations had been wrong from the start. Not wrong because of resistance. Wrong because the people with the most power to change culture were never actually invited in. What she found about why organizations lose talent, why one-time training makes outcomes measurably worse, and what she got personally wrong, not the industry, her, is the part of this conversation most people in her position would never say in public. This is not a political conversation. It is a leadership one. In this episode: Why 90% of leaders including white men in C-suites are either persuadable or already committed, and why that single finding changes the entire strategy What Julie got personally wrong, not the industry, specifically her, and why she couldn't have written this book today Why one-time unconscious bias training produces measurably more negative outcomes than positive ones The frozen middle: who they are, why they hold the key, and how to actually reach them The business case vs the human case for inclusive leadership, and why the business case alone has stopped working How AI is inheriting and amplifying organizational bias, and what leaders need to do about it now The dot-com bubble parallel: why the AI boom may be heading toward the same correction Iceland's 2008 financial crisis as a real-world case study in what mandated diversity on leadership teams actually produced Two real case studies from Julie's own client work: what catastrophic failure looks like, and what genuinely getting it right looks like Why shame as a leadership strategy produces the exact opposite behavior you want The parking lot story: three hours, a red shirt, and what actually changes minds What Dov's own team member revealed after years of listening to the show How to have one conversation with someone different from you that matters more than any training program What senior leaders really want when they get honest, and why quarterly returns are not actually the answer The difference between performative allyship and the quiet systemic work that actually changes organizations Connect with Julie:Website and free allyship training: https://nextpivotpoint.com Forbes weekly column: forbes.com — search Julie Kratz LinkedIn: Julie Kratz (K-R-A-T-Z) Book: We Want You: An Allyship Guide for People with Power.

What if success isn't about working harder—but about stopping the internal battle that's been draining your energy all along? In this thought-provoking conversation, Jennifer Urezzio sits down with TEDx speaker, success designer, and award-winning entrepreneur Bri Seeley to explore why so many high achievers unknowingly spend the majority of their day fighting themselves instead of creating the lives they desire. Together, they unpack the role of the subconscious in success, why strategy alone isn't enough, and how old beliefs formed in childhood can quietly sabotage even our biggest dreams. Through powerful metaphors, honest stories, and practical wisdom, Jennifer and Bri discuss how awareness, repetition, self-compassion, and conscious choice create lasting transformation.

In a world racing toward smarter machines, empathy speakers and authors Rob Volpe and Maria Ross get curious in this limited subseries about what only humans can feel, do, and be — and why that's our greatest competitive advantage. Enjoy this limited subseries here on The Empathy Edge.Synthesis, Contradictions & What We Actually Want to ProtectRob and Maria started this subseries with a single question: What does it mean to be human? Six episodes later, we don't have a tidy answer. And that might be the most human thing of all.In this final episode, we pull the threads together across everything we explored: consciousness, mortality, emotion, aspiration, and morality, and wrestle with what we actually want to protect as AI becomes more woven into daily life.We share an experiment we ran in real-time, asking AI directly whether it can imagine something that has never existed before. The response was surprisingly nuanced.We close with a provocation from Madonna's new album Confessions II for what it says about creativity, individuality, and what only a human can bring to the world. And our call to action for listeners as they move forward in this brave new world.To access the episode transcript, go to www.TheEmpathyEdge.com and search by episode title."AI knows most things that have existed, and therefore can draw on that and summarize and give you different ways to think about it.

Most investors assume there are only two practical ways to approach Bitcoin: buy it directly and accept the volatility, or avoid it because it does not fit the framework that built their wealth. But Bitcoin mining introduces a different conversation. For most people, mining sounds too technical, too operationally complex, or too institutional to be a serious investment strategy. Servers, power, cooling, maintenance, custody, and infrastructure all make it feel out of reach for anyone who does not want to become a full-time operator. Beau Turner has built a model that changes that. Through Abundant Mines, investors can buy Bitcoin mining equipment, have it hosted and professionally managed, and receive the Bitcoin produced by their machine directly. That shifts the question from "Should I buy Bitcoin?" to "Can I own the infrastructure that produces it?" In this episode of Money School Elite, Beau breaks down how Bitcoin mining can be structured more like an operating asset than a crypto trade. The conversation covers equipment ownership, production costs, operating margin, tax treatment, custody, and why mining may appeal to investors who already understand real estate, business ownership, and long-term capital strategy.   About the Guest Beau Turner is the CEO of Abundant Mines, a colocation hosting and data center development company that helps investors produce Bitcoin through hands-off, tax-advantaged mining strategies. With a background in Engineering Management and Information Systems from Southern Methodist University, Beau brings a rare combination of technical expertise, real estate development experience, and operational insight to the Bitcoin mining space. Before founding Abundant Mines, he built his own real estate business, where he developed firsthand experience in development, infrastructure, and long-term asset ownership. Today, Beau helps investors access Bitcoin mining without having to manage the technical complexity themselves. Through Abundant Mines, clients can own mining equipment hosted in professionally managed data centers, allowing them to participate in Bitcoin production while outsourcing the operational burden. Abundant Mines operates multiple proprietary data centers in Oregon powered by sustainable hydroelectric energy, with development experience across the U.S. and internationally. Beau's work focuses on helping investors create passive income, accumulate Bitcoin, and build long-term wealth through professionally structured mining strategies.

What questions are tugging at you right now, and how might sitting with the answers help unlock your potential?For this 30th installment of our popular Ask Me Anything series, Dr. Michael Gervais is joined by co-host Victoria Garrick Browne, a Forbes 30 Under 30 recipient, former Division I volleyball player at USC, mental health advocate, creator, and speaker. Victoria turned her own private struggle with performance anxiety and depression into a gift for millions, and she founded The Hidden Opponent, a nonprofit that brings mental health education and support to student-athletes on campuses around the country. She's the ideal person to sit alongside Mike for this AMA and help answer these questions with care.The questions our community submitted are honest and vulnerable, and they keep circling the same root: identity. What happens when who you are gets fused to what you do? Mike and Victoria explore why the culture around us so easily hands young people a performance-based identity, what it looks like to move toward a purpose-based one instead, and why the way a parent talks about their child at the dinner table quietly shapes how that child sees themselves.This is a practical and useful conversation for anyone who competes, coaches, parents, or is simply trying to figure out who they are.In this conversation, we explore:How to help young people build an identity rooted in who they are, not only in how they performWhy the way you talk about your child, even at Thanksgiving, is shaping their identityHow to tell the difference between healthy competitiveness and unhealthy pressureThe warning signs of burnout in a young athlete, and why competing too early can backfireHow to share a mental health story in recruiting without it becoming a liabilityWhether real confidence can exist without external validationThe difference between formal instruction and guided discovery in coaching and parentingA simple, honest way to work with imposter syndromeIf your sense of who you are has ever felt a little too tied to what you do, this one is well-worth your time.Links & ResourcesTo learn more about Victoria, please visit: https://victoriagarrickbrowne.com/To learn more about The Hidden Opponent, the non-profit Victoria started, please visit: https://www.thehiddenopponent.org/ Subscribe to our Youtube Channel for more conversations at the intersection of high performance, leadership, and wellbeing: https://www.youtube.com/c/FindingMasteryGet exclusive discounts and support our amazing sponsors!
