Behavioral scientist and bestselling author Jon Levy is back to unpack how we can leverage our own psychology to build wealth. He explains why publicly announcing your financial goals can actually sabotage them, how “if-then” plans outperform willpower, and why adopting the identity of “I'm an investor” can become a self-fulfilling prophecy. Then Nicole asks Jon what the science says about whether jerks make better CEOs, and he shares research-backed strategies for becoming a stronger leader. He also gets personal: how growing up as the child of immigrants affected his money mindset, the road to becoming debt-free in eight years, and the amount of money he needs in his bank account to feel safe. Nicole and Jon also discuss how financial frameworks like the sunk cost fallacy apply to relationships and whether your partner might be the best investment you'll ever make.

Today, we're looking at a wooden house revolution that's happening in Europe. Concrete's carbon footprint is turning architects and construction companies towards trees. In Portugal, a rush of new residents to the sparsely populated rural areas – and a lack of builders – is driving the flat-pack and modular wooden house market. Many of these rural plots often have a ruined, abandoned house on them, creating opportunities for faster construction.We also meet an architect who has dedicated his life to building in wood, championing a material he believes is key to more sustainable design.If you'd like to get in touch with the team, our email address is businessdaily@bbc.co.ukPresented and produced by Alastair LeitheadBusiness Daily is the home of in-depth audio journalism devoted to the world of money and work.

It was a different story for Salesforce, which posted better-than-expected Q4 results and erased its pre-market losses at the open. The CEOs of both companies spoke to CNBC: Nvidia's Jensen Huang on what the market got "wrong" — and Salesforce's Marc Benioff on the "SaaS-pocalypse" that has sent shares of the company and its software rivals tumbling.

Tara breaks down explosive revelations from the State of the Union and recent investigations. FBI surveillance reportedly targeted White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles, Kash Patel, and over 1,200 political figures, journalists, and clergy — many without evidence of a crime. Ten FBI employees have been fired so far, with more potentially to come. Former Obama adviser Susan Rice allegedly warned corporate leaders that political consequences could follow future power shifts — sparking moves by tech giants and CEOs to Florida for legal protection. Tara also highlights Iran's nuclear and ballistic missile ambitions, warning of the potential threat to U.S. bases and allies in Europe and the Middle East, and the risks of assassination attempts targeting U.S. political figures. Plus, insights on the Future Scholar program for South Carolina residents — a tax-smart way to save for K-12, college, and certifications. A packed episode covering domestic surveillance, geopolitical danger, and financial strategies Americans are overlooking.

In this episode of the Ecomm Breakthrough Podcast, host Josh Hadley explores the “hidden cost of growth” in e-commerce. Drawing from his own journey scaling to eight figures, Josh explains how business expansion often leads to overwhelming complexity, not more freedom. He introduces the “momentum matrix,” a framework based on the 80/20 rule, to help entrepreneurs focus on the most impactful products and sales channels. Josh shares actionable strategies for prioritizing efforts, reducing operational overload, and maintaining lifestyle goals while scaling, emphasizing that true freedom comes from systems and focus—not just hitting revenue milestones.Welcome to the Ecomm Breakthrough Podcast!

Execution doesn't define leadership. Pivoting does. In this powerful episode, Lisa Goldenthal breaks down why elite CEOs aren't measured by how well they follow a plan — but by how precisely they adjust when the plan disappears. In today's AI-driven, high-volatility market, speed matters. But what most companies are losing isn't talent — it's leadership velocity. The culprit? Decision Drag. When teams wait for the CEO to approve, rescue, or emotionally stabilize the room, growth slows. Revenue stalls. Energy leaks. In This Episode, You'll Discover: Is leadership measured by execution — or by your ability to pivot under pressure? How much "Decision Drag" is silently costing your company each year? If you disappeared for 30 days, would your organization hold — or stall? How do elite CEOs pivot without leaking panic into the system? Where are you "five inches off" that's compounding into future failure? Lisa introduces the BOSS Architecture — a practical framework for emotional regulation, energy optimization, strategic mindset, and self-leadership that removes you as the bottleneck. Because if your company's speed depends on your presence, you haven't built a system. You've built a cage. This episode is essential listening for CEOs, founders, and executive leaders who are ready to stop being the "Chief Everything Officer" and start being the Architect.

The most important work I do every day — the work that built a $100M company — takes about four hours. Not 12, not 16. Four. In this episode, I break down the exact operating system I use to collapse time, why most productivity advice is garbage, and the two things I focus on every single day that change everything. My Daily System (2 Things That Matter) 1. Sharpen the Saw — I protect my morning. No phone, no email, no fires. Meditation, movement, building capacity. By the time I sit down to work, I'm operating at a completely different level than someone who woke up and started doom scrolling. 2. Make the Big Scary Moves — The one or two actions that could change everything but you keep putting off because they're uncomfortable. That's what I do first. Everything else is noise. The BREAD Framework (For Everything Else) Anything that's not sharpening the saw or making big scary moves gets run through BREAD: B — Batch similar tasks together R — Reduce scope or frequency E — Eliminate what doesn't need to happen at all A — Automate anything repetitive D — Delegate anything outside your zone of genius The Conversations You're Not Having The chaos that destroys most businesses isn't the stuff you see — it's the hard conversations you keep avoiding. The underperforming team member, the unhappy client, the problem brewing in the background. Say the thing that needs to be said. Today, not next quarter. "An hour of high-signal work is worth 10 hours of low-signal grinding. That's how you collapse time."
February 25, 2026: This week Anthropic — one of the companies most associated with responsible AI — gutted the safety commitment it made in 2023. The same week the Pentagon gave its CEO a Friday ultimatum: allow military use of your AI or lose a $200 million contract. Meanwhile Jamie Dimon went on record at a JPMorgan investor meeting and confirmed something most CEOs won't say out loud: AI is already displacing his workers, their redeployment infrastructure can't keep up with the pace of it, and society needs to start thinking seriously about what comes next. I also cover why Big Tech is paying up to $1.2 million for communications talent — and what that says about which human skills are becoming most valuable — plus Goldman Sachs and Deutsche Bank deploying AI to surveil their own traders in real time, and LinkedIn's 2026 Skills on the Rise report, which tracks which skills are actually converting to job offers.
At a certain point in business, team and leadership become most of the game and navigating that well takes a level of emotional intelligence we don't talk about nearly enough. In this bonus solo episode, I'm sharing what I see matter most when it comes to running a team, the patterns that either create ease or drain you over time. We talk about ownership, communication, decision making, and why context matters as much as execution. This is a deep dive into what it actually takes to lead people well as your business grows. In this episode, you'll hear: • The core work required to scale at a certain stage of business • The difference between clear ownership and shared responsibility • Why constant communication is draining you and how to fix it • The #1 thing most CEOs need to reduce bottlenecks and burnout • Why visible work is an incredibly important hack that we don't talk about enough • How to honor human context, not just task completion Episode Links Join my Facebook group Connect with Molly on Instagram Learn more about Molly on her website If you're enjoying the coaching you're hearing, check out my Ultimate Mini Course to Maximizing Results in 1:1 Coaching to learn the proven strategies & foundational tools for creating an in-demand container that gets your clients real results
In today's episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on a conversation that completely solidified what it really takes to operate at the next level in business. There are clear patterns in how the most successful founders think, make decisions, and show up in their businesses. Once you recognize them, it becomes impossible to ignore where you might be holding yourself back. This conversation is less about tactics and more about the subtle shifts in identity and standards that change your trajectory. If you've been feeling the pull toward your next level, but you know it's going to require a different version of you, you're going to want to listen to this one.
Lai-Ling Su: When Leadership Changes—Supporting Teams Through the Uncertainty Read the full Show Notes and search through the world's largest audio library on Agile and Scrum directly on the Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast website: http://bit.ly/SMTP_ShowNotes. "We have a once in a generational or once in a lifetime type of opportunity to fundamentally work with these leaders to shift the workplace environments and the workplace dynamics in the way that we've been trying to craft in the world of product and agile for the last few decades." - Lai-Ling Su Lai-Ling brings a systems-level challenge that has profound implications for Scrum Masters everywhere. Australia is on the brink of its largest intergenerational wealth transfer in history—$3.5 trillion over the next couple of decades—with 70% of private and family businesses planning to sell or succeed as part of this generational change. This creates leadership vacuums as business leaders transition out and new ones step in. Some are family members stepping into roles without the full capability to lead; others are external CEOs facing resistance when they do things differently. These transitions stall decisions, lose customer confidence, and fracture once tight-knit teams. Lai-Ling sees this as an unprecedented opportunity for Scrum Masters to support both outgoing and incoming leaders through succession planning, capability uplift, and protecting teams during the transition. Teams need to be respected for what they've achieved, and Scrum Masters can serve as bridges—creating awareness about the team's strengths and facilitating dialogue between old and new leadership to ensure continuity. Self-reflection Question: How might you proactively prepare your team to navigate an upcoming leadership transition, whether it's anticipated or unexpected?

SAASTR 843: Software Stocks Have Massively Crashed. Here's What Founders Need to Know. SaaStr founder and CEO Jason Lemkin joins the TBPN show for a wide-ranging conversation on the state of SaaS, AI, and venture capital. Jason shares how he shrunk his team from 15 to 3 people by going all-in on AI agents, why he's lost patience with companies that haven't re-accelerated growth, and the real economics behind running large-scale events. He breaks down why PE has "said goodbye to B2B," how vibe coding is flooding the market with competitors, and what's making the IPO window both exciting and treacherous. Plus: why the agent that closed a $100K deal on a Saturday night matters more than any demo day pitch, and how AI discoverability is quietly reshaping how businesses choose their software stack. --------------------- This episode is Sponsored in part by HappyFox: Imagine having AI agents for every support task — one that triages tickets, another that catches duplicates, one that spots churn risks.

Season 11 of Fixing Healthcare continues its shift away from the traditional top-down model of interviewing CEOs, policymakers and medical leaders to focus this week on something new, different and fascinating: listening to the generation that is inheriting this American healthcare system. In this episode, Dr. Robert Pearl and Jeremy Corr speak with Grace Lynn Keller, VP at Executive Podcast Solutions, former Miss America contestant and the show's first-ever Gen Z guest. Grace brings a rare vantage point: Professionally, she is immersed in conversations with healthcare executives. Personally, she is part of the generation that consumes health information through social media, wearables and AI tools. For healthcare professionals, the conversation offers an important lens on how Gen Z gathers health information, how they decide when to seek care and what they expect from clinicians, insurers and government leaders. One insight stood out immediately. When asked where she would turn first with a non-emergency symptom, Grace answered without hesitation: ChatGPT. Her answer signals how much the healthcare landscape is changing. While Gen Z may turn to generative AI for initial medical advice, that is only one piece of a broader shift. In this conversation, Grace outlines how her generation is redefining health, prevention and trust. Key insights include: Verification Over Blind Trust. Gen Z does not simply accept what it reads online. Grace describes a culture of cross-referencing, double-checking and comparing sources across platforms before acting. Prevention As Identity. Her generation emphasizes whole foods, ingredient awareness and minimizing processed products. Health is considered a long-term lifestyle investment rather than reactive medical intervention. Wearables As Standard Equipment. Smart watches and rings are commonplace. Continuous data on sleep, movement, heart rate and hormonal cycles shape daily decisions and reinforce prevention. Convenience And Cost Sensitivity. Time away from work, co-pays and scheduling delays influence care decisions. If reliable AI-based treatment were available for routine conditions, many Gen Zers would use it immediately. Mental Health As Mainstream. Therapy is normalized. Work-life balance is considered protective, not indulgent. “Mental health days” may frustrate older generations but are viewed as necessary boundaries by younger workers. Skepticism Of Bureaucracy. Insurance complexity is a major frustration. Deductibles, out-of-pocket maximums and opaque pricing create confusion for first-time independent users. Demand For Transparency. Grace compares healthcare to e-commerce: if nearly every other industry offers clear pricing and frictionless purchasing, why not medicine? Alcohol And Cultural Moderation. Among her peers, alcohol consumption is more situational and less habitual. Health-conscious decision-making extends beyond diet and exercise. Education Gaps. Public school health education was limited largely to sex ed and anti-drug messaging. She sees schools as the only scalable venue to improve health literacy nationwide.

Cheri Carandanis, an abstract painter and former Air Force critical care nurse, shared her journey from pre-med studies to nursing, driven by her desire to balance career and family. She transitioned to the military, specializing in ICU and CCAT teams, and served in Afghanistan post-9/11. After separating from the military, she pursued hospice nursing and earned a master's degree in nursing. In 2019, she suffered two brain injuries, leading to cognitive and vestibular issues, forcing her to retire her nursing license. Through functional neurology and alternative therapies, she recovered significantly, emphasizing the importance of creativity and mindfulness in healing. For the transcript and full story go to: https://www.drmanonbolliger.com/cheri-carandanis Highlights from today's episode include: When I paint, I don't have a brain injury." – Abstract art and flow state became a powerful part of her neurological and emotional healing after two brain injuries. "If you've seen one healing, you've seen one healing." – Every healing journey is unique, and creativity, intuition, and somatic work can open paths that conventional medicine alone often can't. "Nothing's really broken; it's just not communicating how it should." – The body often needs a reset, not a label, and approaches like Bowen and other body-centered work help "reboot" the nervous system so healing can happen. ABOUT CHERI CARANDANIS: Cheri Carandanis is an abstract painter, mixed media artist, and former Air Force Critical Care nurse who knows a thing or two about surviving what she never saw coming. After a traumatic brain injury ended her 25-year nursing career, she turned to art…not as a hobby, but as a lifeline. Now based in Portland, Oregon, Cheri creates raw, emotionally layered work that invites connection and contemplation. Her paintings don't try to explain everything—instead, they hold space for what's been broken, unraveled, and rebuilt. Through texture, color, and bold mark-making, she explores themes of healing, resilience, and the beauty that often shows up after the fall. Her story is one of reinvention, grit, and choosing creativity when everything else falls away. Core purpose/passion: My core purpose is to create space for truth, the kind that lives in the body, not just the story. I'm passionate about art as a place where people can slow down, feel what they've been avoiding, and come back to themselves without being fixed or explained. I care about honest healing, not performative healing, and about beauty that holds weight, not escape. My work invites presence, courage, and staying with what's real.

AI had little to no impact on productivity in the past 3 years.This was according to a National Bureau of Economic Research survey released in February 2006 of 6,000 CEOs and executives across the US, UK, Germany, and Australia. Instead of throwing fruit at us, watch or listen as Enterprise Business Agility Consultant Om Patel and Product Manager Brian Orlando discuss why it won't be the loudest Silicon Valley CEO helping us make the most out of these new tools and technology, but boring old process improvement and org design!Yes, the current research-backed consensus (we review more such articles and research) is that AI adoption doesn't lead to productivity gains, but executives are going to still buy it anyway - they've got "positive vibes."

In this episode of The Authority Company Podcast, Joe Pardavila sits down with Dr. Lawrence Rosenberg, one of Canada's leading healthcare CEOs and a practicing surgeon who rebuilt how hospitals think about leadership, systems, and patient care. Dr. Rosenberg breaks down why the healthcare system feels “broken” in both the U.S. and Canada, the real difference between complicated and complex problems, and why most medical training fails to prepare doctors to lead organizations. He shares how spending a full week living inside a hospital transformed his approach to accountability, patient flow, and executive decision-making. You also hear why courage matters in leadership, how data should drive every major choice, and why hiring and empowering the right people shapes culture more than policies ever will. If you lead a team, run an organization, or work inside complex systems, this conversation gives you practical insight into building clarity, accountability, and results at scale.
Leadership transitions don't have to be terrifying revenue cliffs. In this conversation, Travis Craddock, CFRE and Founder of Craddock Strategies, reframes interim development leadership as a powerful strategic advantage—not a temporary patch.Too often, organizations view interim fundraising support as “a warm body in an empty seat.” Travis challenges that mindset directly. “It prevents rushed or misaligned hires that can be expensive,” he explains, positioning interim leadership as a disciplined pause that protects both donor relationships and long-term revenue health.Fundraising is built on trust. When leadership shifts, donors notice. Travis prioritizes immediate communication, transparency, and clarity so nothing falls through the cracks. Renewals are tracked. Grants are monitored. Donors are reassured. Strategy stays in motion.But here's where the real opportunity emerges.An interim professional arrives without emotional baggage. That means clearer data analysis, honest conversations about ROI, and strategic evaluation of legacy traditions. Should the gala continue? Is it delivering meaningful return? Are event attendees being cultivated into major donors? These are business questions—asked gracefully, but directly.Travis describes himself as “gracefully honest,” and that honesty becomes catalytic. Interim work isn't simply maintenance. It's an opportunity to elevate roles, revise job descriptions, shift from event-driven tactics to relationship-based fundraising, and align hiring with long-term strategic direction.He emphasizes data-driven decisions, CRM fluency, relationship-centered fundraising, and partnership with CEOs and boards. In many cases, he becomes the strategic driver—project-managing fundraising momentum while executives focus on mission execution.Three months may be the minimum engagement window. Six months may be ideal. But within that time, organizations can stabilize revenue, recalibrate strategy, build infrastructure, and hire with intention.Anything is possible when nonprofits embrace transition as transformation! 00:00:00 Welcome and Introduction to Interim Fundraising 00:02:30 What Craddock Strategies Provides Nonprofits 00:04:03 Interim Leadership Beyond a Temporary Fix 00:06:48 Expanding the Definition of the Fundraising Team 00:09:21 Strategy Versus Firefighting in Development 00:11:09 Evaluating Events and Return on Investment 00:14:18 Communicating with Donors During Transition 00:17:18 Hiring Timelines and Interim Engagement Length 00:18:32 Revising Job Descriptions to Match Strategy 00:23:01 Technology Investment and Infrastructure Mindset Find us Live daily on YouTube!Find us Live daily on LinkedIn!Find us Live daily on X: @Nonprofit_ShowOur national co-hosts and amazing guests discuss management, money and missions of nonprofits! 12:30pm ET 11:30am CT 10:30am MT 9:30am PTSend us your ideas for Show Guests or Topics: HelpDesk@AmericanNonprofitAcademy.comVisit us on the web:The Nonprofit Show

Se ha formado en herramientas como Internal Family Systems, Somatic Experiencing, 5 Leyes Biológicas, The Work de Byron Katie, Teoría Polivagal y Constelaciones Familiares. Hoy acompaña a CEOs, founders y dueños de empresas a integrar el bienestar personal con el éxito profesional. En este episodio converso con Pablo sobre lo que hay detrás del éxito profesional cuando el hacer se convierte en la única forma de sentirse suficiente. Partimos de su decisión de volverse más público después de años de mantenerse en la privacidad, y entramos en las historias no integradas, la rigidez, la disciplina y el molde que lo formó y el costo emocional que eso tuvo. Hablamos del sistema nervioso, de cómo el cuerpo guarda memorias que el lenguaje no alcanza, y de cómo esta comprensión está transformando su manera de trabajar con CEOs y empresarios: si las empresas son un reflejo del estado fisiológico de sus líderes, entonces la transformación no empieza en la estrategia, sino en la raíz. Cerramos hablando de círculos de hombres, de espacios seguros y de lo que significa, a los cuarenta, dejar de vivir para cumplir expectativas y empezar a contar la propia historia.

If the CEO job description was boiled down to one question, it would be this: what do we work on next? Most women entrepreneurs don't struggle because they aren't working hard enough. They struggle because they're working on the wrong thing. Here's the truth: businesses don't rise to the level of their potential. They shrink to the level of their constraints. Growth isn't about adding more marketing, more offers, or more complexity. It's about identifying the single bottleneck restricting flow and releasing it. Listen in this week as Eleanor walks you through the exact quarterly planning process she uses inside her own business and with her private clients to drive serious growth. If you want a simple, focused way to decide what to work on next and unlock revenue without working harder, this episode will show you exactly how.

When people hear "eating disorder," they picture a young stick-figure girl in ballet class. But what I see every day? CEOs with anorexia. Lawyers binge eating in office bathrooms. Doctors struggling in silence with exercise compulsion. Corporate executives who haven't eaten lunch in six months because they're "too busy." 73% of women in corporate and professional environments report engaging in at least one disordered eating behavior. And if you're a high-performing woman who feels trapped but can't connect the dots—this episode is for you. Because your workplace might be feeding your eating disorder. And it's time we talked about it. You'll discover: The chilling parallels between corporate culture and eating disorder logic How "dedication" and "discipline" can actually be disordered eating in disguise Why corporate wellness programs trigger eating disorders instead of preventing them The toxic beliefs high-performer culture promotes that fuel disordered eating Signs everyone misses in successful women who are struggling How to audit your workplace culture for ED-triggering behaviors Why your traits might be symptoms—not personality flaws How to redefine success to include your wellbeing The truth: You can be successful AND recovered. Recovery doesn't mean giving up your ambition—it means reclaiming it. THE CHILLING PARALLELS Corporate Culture Says: "I have to earn my lunch—I haven't been productive enough yet" "I can't take a break—everyone's counting on me" "If I rest, I'm falling behind" Eating Disorder Logic Says: "I have to earn my food—I haven't burned enough calories yet" "I can't eat—I have to stay in control" "If I eat, I'm losing control" It's the same framework: Your worth is conditional. Your value is based on performance. And this mindset gets you promoted—while secretly destroying your relationship with food and your body. TOXIC BELIEFS THAT FEED BOTH "Results over rest" - Your body becomes just a vehicle for performance "Discipline equals success" - Until discipline becomes rigid food rules "Mind over matter" - Glorifying disconnection from your body's signals "Optimize everything" - Your body becomes a project to control and perfect "Hustle culture" - Normalizing deprivation of food, rest, and pleasure For someone who's perfectionistic and already anxious, these messages are gasoline on a fire. SIGNS EVERYONE MISSES ✅ First one in, last one out—always "on," can't rest ✅ Skipping meals because you're "too busy" (praised as dedication) ✅ Rigid food rules disguised as "wellness" ("I don't eat carbs," "only clean foods") ✅ Over-exercising every day, even when sick or injured ✅ Talking about your body transactionally ("I earned this meal," "I have to burn this off") ✅ Avoiding work social events that involve food ✅ Exhausted but won't slow down Most of these behaviors are celebrated in high-performer culture—so you don't realize you need help. YOUR WORKPLACE CULTURE AUDIT Ask yourself: Am I praised for skipping meals or working through lunch? Does my company tie wellness to competition or performance metrics? Do I feel pressure to track, optimize, or perform my health? Are boundaries seen as weakness in my workplace? Do I feel like I have to "earn" rest, food, or self-care? Then ask: Am I using work stress as an excuse to control my food? Do I restrict when work gets overwhelming? Do I "earn" meals based on productivity? Am I exercising compulsively to manage work anxiety? If you answered yes to any of these—you're not alone. And you're not crazy. THE TRUTH ABOUT YOUR "TRAITS" Those traits you think define you? They might not be who you ARE. They might be symptoms. Symptoms of working in an environment that rewards disordered behaviors. Symptoms of impossible standards that tell you your worth is tied to your output. You are not broken. You're responding exactly how anyone would respond to these systems. REDEFINING SUCCESS True high performance: ✅ Rest is part of the strategy - not a sign of weakness ✅ Nourishment is non-negotiable - your brain needs fuel to perform ✅ Boundaries are a strength - saying no, delegating, protecting your energy ✅ Worth isn't tied to output - you're valuable because you exist ✅ Success includes wellbeing - how you feel matters as much as results Recovery doesn't take away your drive. It redirects it. You stop using discipline to destroy yourself and start using it to build the life you actually want. KEY QUOTES
Fear is expensive. In 2025, manufacturers delayed billions in capital projects because anxiety, not data, drove business decisions.But 2026 is different. Tax incentives expire mid-year, borrowing costs are down, and the hard data shows CapEx accelerating at 3-4%. The companies acting on facts while others remain frozen are the ones positioned to gain market share, capture expiring tax benefits, and pull ahead.This episode comes to you live from the A3 Forum 2026, where the message is clear: 2026 isn't about waiting for certainty. It's about preparing for complexity with multiple strategies, acting on hard economic data, and recognizing that technology will solve the labor shortage. You'll hear why geopolitics can no longer be ignored and why every manufacturing company needs dedicated monitoring and scenario-based planning to navigate constant disruption. We dig into why America's $1+ trillion manufacturing investment boom is creating career opportunities that rival the tech industry and why the outdated narrative around manufacturing jobs is costing the industry the next generation of talent. Plus, we explore how automation and robotics are becoming the central solution for critical challenges and how theme park robotics taught the industry the power of asking “how” instead of “no”.In this episode, find out:Why 2026 is transitioning from a year of uncertainty to a year of complexityHow to become a value-added partner instead of a transactional sellerHow America's $1+ trillion manufacturing investment is rebuilding domestic capabilityWhy manufacturing careers now offer competitive tech-level salariesWhy 92% of manufacturing CEOs prioritize smart manufacturing as their top growth strategyThe impact of expiring tax incentives on CapEx decision-making urgencyWhy AI has shifted from hype to practical implementation questionsHow theme park robotics pioneered human-robot collaboration and safety standardsWhy the answer should be "how" instead of "no" when facing unconventional challengesEnjoying the show?

It's feedback from Manufacturing All-Stars like you that keeps us going!Tweetable Quotes:“We are in a manufacturing revolution, but most people don't realize it yet. More importantly, America is starting to learn how to rebuild and manufacture its own goods. We are starting the process to build and AI is a tool that will help close that chasm.” – Bob Little“If 2025 was marked as a year of uncertainty, I think we are now far enough into the process to recognize that it's transitioning to a year of complexity in 2026. You have to be prepared for a variety of different scenarios. You have to treat it almost like war gaming, if you think about it.” – Alex Chausovsky, “92% of manufacturing CEOs interviewed by Deloitte said smart automation or smart manufacturing...
The Epstein files are naming names — CEOs, politicians, a current and former president. This is the stratum of people making decisions about nuclear weapons in an uncontrolled arms race with no arms limitation treaties, no diplomatic channels, and AI now integrated into nuclear command systems.Paul Jay talks with Matt Korda of the Federation of American Scientists about where the U.S. nuclear modernization program actually stands — the Sentinel ICBM, hundreds of billions in cost overruns, the Golden Dome fantasy, and a launch-on-warning doctrine that even its defenders can't rationally explain.The logic behind ICBMs collapses under scrutiny. The Golden Dome can't work. The real objective, as with every arms race boondoggle from SAGE to SDI, is the money. As Paul puts it, “It's not about the dome, it's about the gold.”Meanwhile, Russia and China aren't talking to Washington. The arms control architecture is gone. And the media is barely covering any of it.We need an anti-nuclear movement like the one that existed in the early 1980s. Midterms and a presidential election are coming. Make this an issue.Matt Korda is a senior researcher at the Federation of American Scientists.
This week, Thomas sits down with speaker and renowned author of “Wild,” Cheryl Strayed, for a conversation on the profound healing power of writing and creating, the catharsis of truth-telling, and the importance of physical embodiment in trauma recovery.Cheryl shares how grief and trauma left her feeling isolated, and describes her difficult but meaningful journey to healing through community connection. By writing about her life and daring to share her deepest wounds, she found that she was not alone in her struggles, and in fact, none of us ever truly are. She and Thomas discuss how authentic connection can inspire collective compassion and healing, and how art and storytelling have the ability to transform culture by illuminating universal truths.✨ Watch the video version of this episode on YouTube:
