In this episode of the Power Producers Podcast, David Carothers joined by Jon Bassford, author of the insightful book, "The Curious Leader," to discuss the transformative power of curiosity in leadership, sales, and personal growth. We explore how an inquisitive mindset fuels innovation, the crucial distinction between a salesperson and a true consultant, and the flaws within the insurance industry's compensation models. The conversation also touches on the parallels between endurance challenges like running marathons and the journey of leadership, emphasizing the importance of vulnerability, building diverse teams, and fostering psychological safety. Key Highlights: The Power of the Curious Leader Jon Bassford shares the core message from his book, explaining how fostering an inquisitive mindset is the engine for genuine innovation. We discuss the importance of educated risk-taking and creating an environment where acknowledging mistakes is seen as a vital part of individual and organizational development, not a failure. Salesperson vs. Consultant in the Insurance Industry The conversation shifts to the insurance sector, where we critique flawed compensation models that incentivize policy-pushing over problem-solving. Using real-world examples like the Fisker Auto bankruptcy, we highlight how true value comes from objective audits and a consultative approach that enhances a client's risk profile, drawing a clear line between surface-level sales and deep operational consulting. Leadership Lessons from Marathons and Writing We explore the powerful metaphors of running a marathon and writing a book. Jon and I discuss how these challenging, introspective journeys teach profound lessons in vulnerability, perseverance, and self-discovery, mirroring the trials and tribulations faced by any effective leader. Building Psychologically Safe & Diverse Teams This segment focuses on common leadership pitfalls and the critical need for psychological safety. Jon Bassford offers compelling insights on how leaders can empower their teams by building diverse groups where every individual feels safe to contribute, challenge ideas, and innovate without fear of reprisal.

Philipp Jansch ist in dieser Episode Gast bei "Lauf Alter", und es ist ein spannendes, schnell dahin galoppierendes Gespräch mit einem sehr sympathischen "Underdog" der österreichischen Trailrunning-Szene.Der gebürtige Niederösterreicher, der Hermann Maier nacheiferte und in seine Fußstapfen treten wollte, erzählt von seinen Anfängen und seinen ersten Marathons.Wir sprechen mit dem Pädagogen über die tägliche Turnstunde und seinen Blick auf die Gesundheit der Schüler:innen, die ohnehin schon einen Vollzeitjob haben. Wir erfahren, dass Jansch mit seiner Vorbildwirkung Jugendliche auf die Trails und zum Laufen bringt - und sich sehr darüber freut, wenn er davon erfährt.Jansch selbst ist ein Spitzenläufer, wobei die Ergebnisse wohl nicht sein ganzes Potenzial reflektieren - doch beim Grossglockner Ultra Trail und beim Hochkönigman ließ er sein Potenzial schon mehrfach aufblitzen. Und seine "Fastest Known Time" beim RULT - Rund um den Lainzer Tiergarten wird auch besprochen und zelebriert.Und wir sprechen besonders über den Everest, den Philipp Jansch in Linz mit-organisiert. Braucht es diesen Wettbewerb überhaupt? Wie viele Personen werden da dabei sein? Wie läuft everest-linz ab? Wie wird diese Veranstaltung finanziert? Wie viele Sportler:innen können die Anforderungen schaffen? Fragen über Fragen, auf die wir Antworten suchen und von Jansch auch erhalten.Ach ja, über den Fotografen Philipp Jansch sprechen wir auch...Ein spannendes Gespräch - reinhören!Und hier weiterlesen (und noch anmelden): https://www.everest-linz.at/

Als postbode kom je bij iedereen aan de deur: zowel bij arm als bij rijk. Dat geldt ook voor Ahmed Abdillahi. Hij ziet de kloof tussen die groepen steeds groter worden - en daarom besloot hij daar op een bijzondere manier aandacht voor te gaan vragen. Dit jaar loopt hij maar liefst 25 marathons! In de hoop dat mensen met invloed meer tegen armoede gaan doen. Presentator Jan-Willem Wesselink gaat met hem in gesprek.
In this episode, meet the British roofer who ran the equivalent of 95 marathons across Australia in just 61 days.

Jack reveals to Ant how he did it with almost no money and few resources, the many setbacks he suffered along the way, the mindset that helped him reach his goal, and how a packet of Tim Tams saved his life.

Never Just Surviving: Sophie Holmes on Running 36 Marathons with Cystic FibrosisDespite a schedule packed with training, advocacy, and breaking world records, Sophie Holmes of the U.K. always makes time to share her story, and we're so grateful she did.Diagnosed with cystic fibrosis at just four months old, Sophie was told she might not live past her teens. But rather than letting that define her, she's spent her life rewriting the narrative. Her latest, jaw-dropping accomplishment? Running 36 marathons in 36 days. That's right—36 consecutive days, 26.2 miles each day, driven by pure determination and an unshakable belief in what's possible.Sophie is not only an elite athlete and personal trainer, she's a powerful advocate for chronic illness awareness. In this episode of the Living with Cystic Fibrosis podcast, she talks about what fueled her through each grueling mile, how she manages the intense physical demands of endurance sports while living with CF.“Mindset is everything.” – Sophie HolmesIt's easy to say that exercise is one of the best things someone with CF can do. But Sophie reminds us: that doesn't mean it's easy. Her story is a powerful example of grit, strength, and living fully—even when the odds are stacked against you.Sophie's Story:Diagnosed with cystic fibrosis at four months oldTold she might not live past her teenage yearsRan 36 marathons in 36 days, demonstrating her extraordinary enduranceSet a Lake Cuomo Ultra Ironman World RecordBelieves mindset is the key to overcoming life's toughest challengesWorks as a personal trainer and chronic illness advocateRedefines resilience—not just surviving, but thrivingInspires runners, athletes, and anyone living with chronic illnessLives with relentless drive and purposeShows us what's possible when you push beyond the limits others set for youYou can find Sophie Holmes on IG: https://www.instagram.com/sophiegraceholmes/ Please like, subscribe, and comment on our podcasts!Please consider making a donation: https://thebonnellfoundation.org/donate/The Bonnell Foundation website:https://thebonnellfoundation.orgEmail us at: thebonnellfoundation@gmail.com Watch our podcasts on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@laurabonnell1136/featuredThanks to our sponsors:Vertex: https://www.vrtx.comViatris: https://www.viatris.com/en

Also available at iTunes and Google Podcasts.Here is the link to the TechMoat Consulting.Here is the link to our Tech Tours.Interaction / engagement-focused product has three dimensions:Recommendations. This is passive consumption, not active searching. So that means machine learning-powered newsfeeds. Basically, just like TikTok and Instagram.Entertainment. That means features, games, and videos.Community. This is about tapping into group behavior. You want active communication and sharing between users. And on social networks. You also want livestreaming with friends. And, if possible, you want group buying.I think there are two archetypes for interaction-focused ecommerce.Type 1: Newsfeed based. That's TikTok. That's the sushi train restaurants. This is TikTok Shop is a good example of this. With lots of little purchases. Mostly based on whose videos you like to watch and what surprises show up in your feed.Type 2: Carnival based. That's early PDD. It's lots of games.

Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), a global leader in IT services, consulting, and business solutions and with a significant presence in Ireland with up to 1,000 employees in the country, has been ranked among the top 20 global technology brands in Brand Finance's Technology 100 2025 report. TCS has risen from 25th to 20th position year-on-year, reflecting its growing stature and influence on the global stage. Earlier this year, Brand Finance also named TCS the second most valuable IT services brand globally, with a brand valuation of $21.3 billion. These recognitions spotlight TCS's sustained investments in innovation, its strategic brand positioning, and its customer-centric approach and bold strides in AI-led transformation at scale. David Haigh, CEO and Chairman, Brand Finance, said, "TCS's rise from 25th to 20th in the Brand Finance Technology 100 ranking highlights its accelerating global growth and influence. This achievement is driven by the company's rapidly growing expertise in artificial intelligence, where it is emerging as a key industry leader. Additionally, TCS's strategic investment in brand-building- particularly through high-profile global sponsorships and iconic marathon events, such as the 2025 TCS London Marathon- has significantly boosted its brand visibility and deepened engagement across major international markets." TCS has established its leadership in artificial intelligence, integrating AI into nearly every aspect of its operations, and continues to expand its global innovation ecosystem. Its human-centric AI service offerings continue to gain significant traction with clients across sectors. From creating the first-ever digital twin heart of a pro-runner to deploying Agentic AI systems that can autonomously reason and act across complex business contexts, TCS continues to shape the future of enterprises and consumer experiences. Its suite of AI-led solutions, including its proprietary GenAI agentic platform TCS AI WisdomNext2.0, is enabling enterprises across sectors to augment human insight and drive better outcomes. Through its TCS Pace co-innovation ecosystem, spanning major cities globally, TCS brings together academia, clients, partners, and researchers to co-create cutting-edge solutions. This momentum aligns with TCS's strategic vision to establish a large pool of AI agents working collaboratively with the human workforce, delivering integrated human-AI solutions, investing in advanced AI data centres and cloud infrastructure, and establishing partnerships to accelerate innovation. Abhinav Kumar, Chief Marketing Officer, TCS, said, "TCS's rise into the top 20 global technology brands is a testament to our ability to help clients navigate every wave of technological change - from cloud and AI to emerging frontiers yet to come. Our brand strength is rooted in perpetual adaptability, deep client trust, and a purpose-led approach that combines innovation with impact at scale. Whether through iconic partnerships or cutting-edge solutions, we remain committed to being a trusted strategic partner to businesses worldwide." Today, TCS has one of the largest AI-trained workforces in the industry. Its strategic investments in technology-driven brand-building - particularly through high-visibility global sponsorships - have further elevated its international brand presence. The company sponsors 14 major global running races, including five of the prestigious Abbott World Marathon Majors: New York, London, Boston, Chicago, and Sydney, engaging with over 600,000 runners annually. TCS-powered races are setting new records in economic impact, technology adoption and fundraising.

Send us a textRUN, EAT, DRINK, and Celebrate Jeff Galloway's 80th birthday with us!Jeff Galloway, famously known as "America's Coach" and Olympic athlete, is about to achieve something remarkable that no one else has done before – running marathons across eight decades of life. Now approaching his 80th birthday, Jeff shares his journey toward completing this historic milestone at the Honolulu Marathon this December.Behind this extraordinary achievement lies a deeply personal story of resilience. Jeff candidly discusses his recovery from heart failure and a heart attack, revealing how he adapted his renowned Run-Walk-Run method to accommodate his new cardiac reality. Starting with just three seconds of running at a time post-heart attack, he's now able to complete 13-mile training runs by carefully balancing short running segments with strategic walking breaks. His approach isn't just about survival – it's about thriving within new limitations while maintaining the mental benefits that made him fall in love with running decades ago.The Honolulu Marathon holds profound significance for Jeff beyond just being his eighth-decade marathon attempt. It's where he proposed to his wife Barbara nearly 50 years ago, where he stationed during his Navy service, and where he achieved one of his most memorable victories in 1974, defeating Olympic medalists Frank Shorter and Kenny Moore. Now, he's returning with a different goal – simply crossing the finish line while potentially setting a world record.Throughout our conversation, Jeff shares fascinating insights about running's evolutionary importance, explaining how movement shaped human brain development and continues to activate neural circuits that improve our attitude, energy levels, and problem-solving abilities. "Running is what enabled our species to survive," he explains. "When we run, we grow more brain cells and activate the parts of the brain that give us a better attitude, more energy, and the ability to overcome challenges."For those inspired by Jeff's journey, he's created an opportunity to join him in Hawaii through a special travel package that includes accommodations, pre and post-race celebrations, and his personal coaching. Whether you're a seasoned marathoner or curious beginner, Jeff's story reminds us all that the true power of running lies not in speed or distance, but in "staying in the game" through every decade of life.Find out more and connect with Jeff at www.jeffgalloway.com.

Runner, running coach, and podcaster Julie Sapper is on Women's Running Stories! Her story here is focused on her return from a long-term injury: an ACL tear. She tells about her thorough approach to healing and recovery and the nonlinear path to returning to running injury-free, all the way to returning to her ultimate goal: running the Boston Marathon, for her 13th time. Sapper was so thoughtful and complete through this process—"I wanted to get a PR in recovery," she says—she has a lot of great experience and wisdom to share. Julie Sapper is part of the super coaching and podcasting duo behind Run Farther and Faster, with Lisa Levin. For the the past four years, I've teamed with with Sapper and Levin to host panel discussions over Boston Marathon weekend. Now I get to have Sapper telling this inspiring part of her running story.

Welcome to season 3, episode 21 of The Fuel Run Recover podcast, where I'm so excited to share with you this conversation with recent Fuel Train Recover program 'graduate' Diane Wing, who shares her inspiring story of overcoming immense personal challenges to unlocking a BQ performance at this year's Fargo marathon. But, as if that isn't enough of an accomplishment for one season, Diane is currently planning a run across Manitoba this summer to raise money for mental health and suicide prevention. Here's a little more about Diane!Diane Wing is a 1st grade teacher, mother of 2 and a grandmother of 2 (her 4 greatest accomplishments) from Portage la Prairie, Manitoba. She started her running journey after her husband passed away in 2012 for her mental wellness. In 2014, she ran her first 1/2 marathon at the MB Marathon as part of a relay team with her cousins (as a tribute to her late husband, Kelly). She really enjoyed this experience and was hooked. A couple years ago, she decided to start a running group in Portage la Prairie and met some amazing like minded people. Some of them have even done some travel fun races together (Vegas and Phoenix Rock and Roll 1/2 Marathons). Last year she decided to run a 1/2 marathon in each province. This year she decided to try to qualify for Boston at the Fargo Marathon and to do a run across Manitoba for her 50th birthday (50km a day for 10 days). To accomplish these last two goals, she needed some help getting her guts under control. This is where Steph came in (she was perfect because could help Diane achieve her running and dietary needs goals). Recently, Diane got her BQ time and now she is focused on her run across MB. She is hoping to see some friendly faces along the way and raise some money for CMHA (mental health and suicide prevention).You can learn more about Diane's journey and support her by visiting her Facebook or Instagram pages, and donate to The Canadian Mental Health Association here!
Sixty-one marathons in sixty-one days: From the southern border of Germany to the northern sea, Aleksander Lingauer covered the entire distance on his own.No sponsors. No shortcuts. Just a backpack, a belief, and the stubborn will to see it through.Aleksander is an endurance athlete and writer, and the mind behind Project 61, a solo mission to run the length of Germany, one marathon a day, for two straight months. But his story isn't just about distance, it's about what happens when no one's watching. About walking away from millions to protect something deeper. And about the kind of training no one puts on social media—the alleyway push-ups, the quiet breakdowns, the handwritten letters from the far edges of Europe.He's now writing his first book, a raw account of his 419-day solo hike across the continent.Alexander is taking the steps to explore the space where discipline meets obsession, where modern masculinity meets vulnerability, and what it costs to chase something real in a world that moves fast and forgets even faster.If you're building something hard, trying to stay steady in the noise, or looking for proof that grit still matters, then this episode is for you.Let's get into it. In today's conversation, Aleksander takes me through his wild physical adventures, what drives him to do these things, crewing the BPN Last Man Standing Race for Zach Pogrob and Kim, his ambitions for the future, and how to live for more.Aleksander is 1 of 1. And this conversation was very introspective in the best of ways. Tap into the Aleksander Lingauer Special.

In this powerful and deeply personal conversation, Orly Fuerst opens up about her journey from Israel to Houston and her life-changing diagnosis of stage four colorectal cancer. With honesty, humor, and unwavering determination, Orly shares how she continues to run, parent, and teach while undergoing intensive treatment. She explores the critical role of resilience, self-trust, and finding balance in the face of overwhelming health challenges. Orly also highlights the importance of compassionate healthcare relationships and the strength she draws from her community. Her story is not just one of survival—it's a testament to living fully, with purpose and courage, even in the most uncertain moments.Orly Fuerst is a mother of six, a dedicated runner, and a passionate teacher. For years, her world revolved around raising her children and nurturing her students. But everything changed in July of 2022, when she was diagnosed with Stage 4 Colorectal Cancer that had already spread to her liver, lungs, and lymph nodes. Doctors told her she had just 6 to 9 months to live.Her immediate response captured her spirit: “Oh no, that won't work—I already paid for a race 10 months away.” In that moment, Orly became a cancer patient, but she refused to let the disease define her.She continues to undergo treatment, including chemotherapy and occasional radiation—always with grit, humor, and resilience. While some days are harder than others, Orly is determined not to let cancer become her entire identity. She remains deeply committed to spreading awareness about the power of movement and exercise, particularly in the frum community, where these conversations can sometimes be overlooked.Orly is currently training for a 10K in November to raise awareness for colon cancer, and a half marathon in January. Through her running, teaching, and advocacy, she continues to defy the odds—one step, one mile, one message at a time.Sponsor the JOWMA Podcast!

You'll learn how micro workouts can transform your day, why breathing through your nose can upgrade your endurance, and how to push past your limits when your mind wants to give up. If you're looking for motivation to get moving, level up your habits, or stop making excuses, this is the episode you need.

"You just need to chill a little bit!" Phily Bowden has a massive following. Whether it's on YouTube, TikTok, or Instagram, there are hundreds of thousands of people watching — and applauding — Phily's every training run, start line, and finish line. The 2:25 UK-based marathoner runs professionally for On, and as she always says, she loves the grind. In this conversation, Phily talks about her experience at the 2025 London Marathon, where she may not have hit her time goal (she hoped for 2:23–2:24, and ran 2:30) but left London with an admirable perspective and some serious mental fortitude.
