The healing habit of taking an honest inventory withinIn new seasons, we often focus on what we should do more of, or what's next. But what if we started this new season with stopping? In our series, Stop Before You Start, we'll take a deep breath, make space for God, and allow Him to work in our lives.QUESTIONS FOR THE ROAD: 1. Watch - How are you looking at things? Is it mostly positive or negative? Are you singing a melody in your heart or have you lost your song?2. Listen - How are you hearing the people around you? Are you suspicious of them or are you full of grace for people and their habits and hang ups?3. Repentance - What needs to change? What is God saying, “this is out of alignment with my Word? Come, return to me, and I will give you rest.

​​ What makes a great conversation?“Many of us dread small talk,” says Harvard Business School professor and author Alison Wood Brooks. Yet she believes these everyday exchanges are the gateway to deeper connection and opportunity. An expert in the science of conversation, Wood Brooks, teaches a popular course titled Talk and has spent years researching what makes a great conversation. "Big things often start with small talk," she notes. "It's not about avoiding it; it's about knowing how to use it to uncover something meaningful."In this LinkedIn Live episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, Wood Brooks joins host Matt Abrahams to share a practical framework for mastering small talk and making it enjoyable, even for those who loathe it. Drawing from her "topic pyramid" approach, Wood Brooks breaks down how to elevate a conversation from mundane chitchat to something memorable. “Think of it as a treasure hunt,” she suggests. “Small talk is where you start looking for golden nuggets that can lead to deeper engagement.”Episode Reference Links:Alison Wood Brooks Alison's Book: TalkEp.73 Listen Up: Why It's Better to Be Interested than Interesting Ep.89 Listen, Listen, Listen: How to Build Deep Connections Connect:Premium Signup >>>> Think Fast Talk Smart PremiumEmail Questions & Feedback >>> hello@fastersmarter.ioEpisode Transcripts >>> Think Fast Talk Smart WebsiteNewsletter Signup + English Language Learning >>> FasterSmarter.ioThink Fast Talk Smart >>> LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTubeMatt Abrahams >>> LinkedInChapters:(00:00) - Introduction (02:05) - What Makes a Good Conversation?

Andres Bilboa is one of the co-founders of Rappi, the highest-valued app of LATAM ($5B valuation). Now he runs an incubator called Makers and has invested in dozens of startups. In this episode, he shares how Rappi started with no funding and no network.

When an employee unexpectedly quits, an investor backs out, or a big customer churns— fear of failure takes over. When you close a new round, land a big customer, or make a big hire— you feel pure excitement. Every founder is on a fear-excitement spectrum. There's no way to prevent yourself from feeling the two extremes. But I've seen great founders use several tactics to help themselves operate out of excitement more often than out of fear. Those founders also feel fear— but they use these tactics to spend more time closer to excitement. Because operating out of failure is playing not to lose—whereas operating out of excitement is playing to win. Here are 3 ways to do just that.Why you should listenHow to use multiple plans to operate more freely and objectivelyWhy runway and low burn are the keys to lower founder stressWhy working with the right investors is more important than raising big roundsWhat Tobi Lutke (founder of Shopify) did to change his employees' mindsets Keywordsfounders, fear, fear of failure, excitement, validation, runway, partners, mindset, expectationsSend me a message to let me know what you think!

5 years ago, Shubham had just graduated college and had no network. He bootstrapped to $3M in ARR, then raised $200M & grew to $85M ARR.But he started trying to sell AI for marketing to enterprises with no network.So for 2 months, he'd go to the lobby of a bank and sit there for an hour. He'd wait for the CMO to walk by, just so he could say hi. He'd tell receptionists he was waiting for an interview. Finally, one day the CMO had enough and asked him who he was. Shubham got his 15-minute moment. That turned into a free pilot. That free pilot turned to $1.2M ARR. 2 years after he'd started the company, he bootstrapped to $3M ARR and was profitable— since then, the growth never stopped.

According to emergency physician Leana Wen, MD, MS, "public health saved your life today, you just don't know it." Having been appointed the Baltimore City Health Commissioner at the age of 31, she certainly has the credentials and stories to illustrate this assertion. Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, public health played a frequently misunderstood and under-appreciated role in our society, ranging from sanitation and immunization to mental health support and pollution control.

Kathryn Mannix has spent her medical career working with people who have incurable advanced illnesses. Starting in cancer care and changing career to become a pioneer of the new discipline of palliative medicine, she's worked with teams in hospices, hospitals, and in patients' own homes to deliver palliative care, optimizing quality of life even as death is approaching. Kathryn has worked with many thousands of dying people and has found their ability to deal with illness and death both fascinating and inspirational. She believes that a better public awareness about what happens as we die would reduce fear and enable people to discuss their hopes and plans with the people that matter to them. Her account of how people live while they're dying, in her book, With the End in Mind, was published to Universal acclaim and was shortlisted for the Wellcome Prize. Kathryn's next book, Listen: How to Find the Words for Tender Conversations, starts with a potent story about her early career encounter with Mrs. de Souza. I encourage you to listen to this discussion more than once. Kathryn's listening, it's well class and the way she explains listening is compelling. I have five copies of Kathryn's book to share. If you email podcast@Oscartrimboli.com with the subject "Tender" and your reflections of this conversation. You could reflect on the story of Mrs. de Souza. You might reflect on Dorothy and her listening, or how you think about dancing and listening, the difference between doing and being listening, the impact of listening via video versus face-to-face. This is such a rich and nuanced experience. Kathryn completely changed the way I think about listening.

Natasha Lancour is a mother of five.  Every time she has given birth, Lancour, of Duluth, says she has felt unable to ask for the postpartum help she needed.  “In labor, it can be so rushed, everything is so fast. I wanted to know what it's like for the first time to breastfeed my child. I've never breastfed before,” she said. As she reflects on her births, Lancour wonders now if having a doula — a non-medically trained professional who supports clients physically and emotionally through the childbirth process — might have been the answer. Especially if that doula, Lancour said, was Black, like her.  "I've always experienced birth as kind of violent,” Lancour said. “And when I was introduced to doula birth, it was something that I felt like every woman should have access to, to have a support in the community." Lancour recently participated in a free, four-day doula training with the hopes of offering the service to clients in Duluth, where she's from. The training is organized by Everyday Miracles, a nonprofit based in Minneapolis that helps clients connect with doulas. Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Minnesota, the state's largest nonprofit health insurer, pays for the program. The training is aimed at recruiting more doulas of color — who represent a sliver of the already small doula workforce. Behind the effort is a growing body of research that suggests that doulas can have a positive impact on birth outcomes.  Pregnancy support from someone who isn't a family member or a hospital employee can have positive outcomes during and after birth, said University of Minnesota public health professor Katy Backes Kozhimannil, who has studied the role of doulas in the birth process. "Everything from higher levels of satisfaction and feelings of agency to things like lower rates of preterm birth, lower use of pain medication and lower rates of surgical birth when it's not needed,” Backes Kozhimannil said. But in spite of those positive outcomes, doulas remain financially and logistically out of reach for many pregnant women — especially women of color, she said.  Derek Montgomery for MPR News Natasha Lancour stands for a portrait during a break while attending a doula training workshop. ‘Someone who looks like you' Research shows that women of color and their babies face higher rates of death and more medical problems during childbirth — disparities that are connected to generations of institutional racism embedded in the health care system. Doulas could help improve birth outcomes, especially when doulas share racial and ethnic backgrounds that are similar to their clients, said Ashley Kidd-Tatge, doula and outreach coordinator for Everyday Miracles. "There's something so important about having somebody come into arguably the most vulnerable space and time,” she said. "Having somebody who looks like you, in the birth room can make a difference medically, emotionally, physically, spiritually, on every level." Researchers haven't yet investigated whether doulas have an impact on death rates and medical complications among pregnant and birthing women, said Backes Kozhimannil.  But she sees an important role specifically for more doulas of color in helping pregnant people of color who have been marginalized within the health care system for generations.  Backes Kozhimannil points, for instance, to her own research that shows a higher rate of breastfeeding among mothers of color who employed a doula.  Easing the path into parenthood matters even more for people of color, she said.  "It matters, especially for Black and Indigenous folks who are birthing in a system that we know suffers [from] structural racism, and that we know produces inequitable outcomes, not just at childbirth, but across the lifespan,” Backes Kozhimannil said.  A tangle of barriers Still, access to doula care is uneven even though the state's Medicaid program, called Medical Assistance, has covered the service since 2013.  The program serves a disproportionate number of people of color, but very few of those clients use the doula benefit.  "Something wasn't working. And we needed to try to understand what was going on,” said Amy Bloomquist, director of population health design at Blue Cross. The health insurer partnered with Everyday Miracles to find out what was holding the program back.  What they discovered was a tangle of challenges and barriers.  For starters, Medicaid reimburses doulas $47 for each visit and less than $500 for each birth. Bloomquist said that's roughly a third of what people pay out of pocket for the service.  "You only have so many slots in your calendar. And when you can get less than $500 for a slot versus $1500 for a slot,” she said. “It's a no brainer.” So, Blue Cross doubled doula pay for births covered by Medicaid — still not quite as much as a private pay patient, but closer.  And it worked with Everyday Miracles to submit more claims at regular intervals, so doulas would be paid throughout the process, instead of one payment at the beginning of the relationship with their client and another when the baby is born.  These are big improvements because babies show up whenever they want to, said Debby Prudhomme, director of Everyday Miracles  "Doulas do very, very valuable work. It is hard work. It's a lot of time. It's putting your life on hold,” she said.  But Prudhomme said that reimbursement rates are still too low. "The fact remains, you can train doulas all day long. If they can't make a livable wage, we're not taking that barrier away,” she said.  Breastfeeding isn't easy. How can lactation support help? Listen: How culturally centered care could help mothers and babies Rural hospitals retreat from delivering babies Small towns pay the price Free doula training In addition to low reimbursement rates, there are too few doulas of color in Minnesota, especially in rural areas. So working with Blue Cross, Everyday Miracles organizes free, four-day doula training programs aimed at expanding the workforce — like the one Lancour attended.  Joining Lancour in the training was Oyate Nixon. She had a doula for the birth of her child who was familiar with Indigenous traditions. Nixon, who identifies as Native American, said it improved her birth experience and she wants to share that support with her clients.  "I'm excited to have that sigh of relief when they see me walk through the door and they're like, 'Wow, she's Native, too.' You know, it's like, it's that automatic sense of relativity between us that I think is very important to them feeling comfortable and, and supported." Derek Montgomery for MPR News Oyate Nixon stands for a portrait during a break while attending a doula training workshop. Kozhimannil, whose research influenced the state's decision to expand Medicaid coverage to doula services, said the Blue Cross model shows promise.  "I'm so happy to see the attention to greater investment in doula services, the attention to racial and geographic equity in the distribution of doula services. I think this is an example of things going well." At the end of the year, Bloomquist says Blue Cross will analyze its work to find out if more of its Medicaid members used doulas. The insurer will tweak the program based on what it learns.  But Bloomquist said one thing won't change: Those higher reimbursement rates for doulas are permanent.  Correction (June 16, 2022): This story has been updated to correct the amount Medicaid reimburses for doula work.

Conversing well requires a good listening ear and the ability to make good judgment calls before opening our mouths.This podcast looks at how we break bad news, console people, explore feelings and emotions, and everything that's involved in having those meaningful conversations in the face of challenging circumstances.Our two contributors are returning guests with thousands of hours of experience of listening and talking at the bedside.Dr Kathryn Mannix is a palliative care specialist who has followed up the best-selling 'With the End in Mind' with a book covering this very subject: 'Listen: How to Find the Words for Tender Conversations'.'The Voice from the Bedside Chair' comes from our resident poet Audrey Ardern-Jones, a former senior nurse at the Royal Marsden Hospital and a talented writer who has kindly penned a poem especially for this podcast: 'Listening Before Leaving' dedicated to those who are dying and those who care for them.

Most of us have a conversation we're avoiding: a child coming out to their parent, a family losing someone to terminal illness, a friend noticing early signs of dementia. There are moments when we simply must talk, listen and be there for one another. Dr Kathryn Mannix, a consultant in palliative care medicine, has spent her career having what she describes as “tender conversations” with bereaved families. Her new book, Listen: How to Find the Words for Tender Conversations, is a guide to not shying away from difficult subjects with those we care about. In this episode Andrew and Kathryn discuss why it is we so often don't say what needs to be said. They look at how to be brave in the face of discomfort, how to sit with silence, and how to speak from a place of gentleness and care.  Dr Kathryn Mannix has spent her medical career working with people who have incurable, advanced illnesses. She is the author of the bestselling With the End in Mind: How to Live and Die Well, as well as her new book,  Listen. Kathryn is a qualified cognitive behavioural therapist and started the UK's first CBT clinic for palliative care patients.

Holding space for someone else to share their burdens, concerns, hopes, stories, and trauma is a beautiful gift. Yet when we internalize what they share – in our bodies, our minds, our hearts, or our spirits – we can become off kilter, restless, and depleted. In this episode we will bring to memory a situation where we listened to another's story and then we will release any piece of it that we may have internalized. So that we can hold space for others and maintain our own stability, instead of disintegrating into chaos. Listen: How surely gravity's law Strong as an ocean current, Takes hold of even the smallest thing And pulls it toward the heart of the world. Each thing – Each stone, blossom, child- Is held in place. Only we, in our arrogance, Push out beyond what we each belong to From some empty freedom. If we surrendered To earth's intelligence We could rise up rooted, like trees. Instead we entangle ourselves In knots of our own making And struggle, lonely and confused. So, like children, we begin again To learn from the things, Because they are in God's heart; They have never left him. This is what the things can teach us: To fall, Patiently to trust our heaviness. Even a bird has to do that Before he can fly. -Ranier Maria Rilke, The Book of Pilgrimage To support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/angie-winn   To find out more about the Pause:  https://angiewinn.com/pause --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/angie-winn/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/angie-winn/support
