A deep conversation with Dr Reem Obeidat on how design thinking, strategy, and organisational culture shape the way institutions grow. From leadership to innovation, she breaks down how purposeful creativity can transform the future of work across the Arab world. Recorded live at the Sharjah International Book Fair.
In this unscripted, deeply human episode recorded during a car ride in Cancun, Bart sits down with two extraordinary voices — William Arruda, founder of Reach Personal Branding and global pioneer in the personal branding movement, and Stuart Fedderson, charisma and human-connection expert known for teaching how to have confident, credible, meaningful conversations. What begins as a discussion about Bart's Trigger–Glimmer–Awe model quickly unfolds into an energetic exchange about identity, connection, confidence, conversation skills, introversion, authenticity, and doing what most people don't do. Bart shares his three C's for movingfrom Trigger to Glimmer: Clear your mind. Connect with others. Create a better meaning. Stuart reveals his own three C's for charisma and personal presence and talks vulnerably about growing up with a stutter, battling social anxiety, and why introverts can become powerful communicators with the right rituals. William adds his three C's of personal branding clarity, consistency, and constancy and explains why “fine” isthe most dangerous word in a career. If something is only fine, it's forgettable.The three also explore:Why charisma and positivity go hand in hand.How authenticity is the foundation of every great brand — including Taylor Swift's.Why visibility matters more now than ever.Why people rarely take action after conferences unless they create a system to remind themselves.How postcards, unexpected conversations, and “Tell me more” moments create real connection.Why the most meaningful conversations happen with the people you don't expect.And in true Most People Don't fashion, Bart shares a powerful story from a grocery store a moment when someone judged him, admitted it aloud, and left reminded of what it feels like to be truly seen.This is a warm, funny, vulnerable, deeply humanepisode filled with insights you can use at work, on stage, and in the everyday conversations that shape your life.MAJOR TAKEAWAYS / LEARNINGSYou cannot move from Trigger to Glimmer without energy physical and mental.Positivity fuels charisma; people feel your outlook before they hear your words.Personal branding is a daily practice rooted in visibility and authenticity.“Fine” is the enemy of extraordinary.Introverts can be extraordinary communicators with the right rituals.Curiosity (“Tell me more…”) builds the deepest connections.Meaningful conversations often come from the people we least expect.To make conference learning stick, you must give yourself reminders postcards, notes, and 3-action lists.Complimenting uniquely (“chatter charms”) helps you start real conversation.Every interaction is a chance to create a story someone will never forget.MEMORABLE QUOTES “Most people talk. Few people ask. ‘Tell me more' transforms everything.”“Fine is the most dangerous word in your career.” — William Arruda“The more positive you are, the more charismatic you'll be perceived.” — Stuart Fedderson“Authenticity isn't optional — people feel it.”“You can't go from Trigger to Glimmer if you don't first clear, connect, and create.” — Bart“The best conversations are with the people you never expected to connect with.”“You have to wake yourself up before you can wake up the room.” — Stuart on introversionResources;Connect to:William Arruda LinkedIn: William Arruda | LinkedInWebsite: William Arruda – What makes you unique makes you successful.Stuart Fedderson LinkedIn: Stuart Fedderson | LinkedInWebsite: Master your people skills, increase your success

The Dad Edge Podcast (formerly The Good Dad Project Podcast)
Today marks the 1400th episode of the Dad Edge Podcast, and I couldn't be more excited to celebrate it with one of the most important people in my life—my 9-year-old son, Colton. In this fun, heartfelt, and candid father-son conversation, we dive into some of the powerful questions from my free resource, Questions for the Car, to model what intentional connection looks like between a dad and his kid. Colton opens up about everything from his love of dodgeball and tacos to what makes him feel proud, loved, and connected to our family. We laugh, share stories, and flip the script as Colton even asks me a question or two. This episode is a reminder that our kids are always listening—and when we ask the right questions, they start to open up in ways that shape our relationship forever. EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS [0:00] – Introduction [1:01] – Why this episode is so personal and meaningful [2:45] – Introducing the Questions for the Car PDF [4:05] – Colton jumps on the mic for the first time! [5:26] – What 4th grade is like from a kid's perspective [6:47] – Dodgeball, gym class, and why Colton loves competition [9:53] – The game-winning catch that boosted his confidence [10:47] – Colton's proudest sports moment and how it made him feel [11:21] – What makes hiking with Dad so special [12:44] – Colton defines love in his own words [14:17] – Why spending time as a family matters to kids [15:37] – His favorite family meals (hint: tacos and wings!) [16:22] – The superpowers he'd love to have [18:51] – Colton flips the script and interviews me [19:56] – Favorite books, stories, and why we love reading together [21:23] – How to grab the Questions for the Car PDF to connect with your own kids 5 KEY TAKEAWAYS Kids Just Want Time with You: Colton said it best—kids feel love when parents spend time with them. It's not about big moments, but consistent presence. Ask Better Questions, Get Better Connection: Our Questions for the Car tool helps dads go beyond "How was your day?" and into deeper, more meaningful conversations. Celebrate the Small Wins: Confidence grows from moments like a dodgeball victory or a hike with Dad—highlight them and talk about them. Let Them See You as Human: When Colton asked me a question, it reminded me how valuable it is to let our kids learn about us, too. Legacy Is Built One Conversation at a Time: Every car ride, bedtime chat, or dinner table question is a chance to connect, shape, and influence our kids for life.

What is "artspeak," precisely? It's a kind of blanket term, one you've probably seen used to refer to other activities, the type of term where the prefix is interchangeable. You'll sometimes hear the terms "computer-speak" or "techspeak." In a nutshell, these terms mean that people involved in the conversation are using language - technical terms and jargon - related to the field or area that the conversation is about. "Artspeak" refers to the types of conversations in which people talk about their education, their achievements, technical items like cameras, and the mechanical operation of their equipment. These are all things that pertain to art-making but such conversations tend to be incomprehensible to outsiders not well versed in artspeak and these conversations also tend to only scratch the surface of art itself, rarely delving into deeper concepts like meaning, symbolism or other abstract things...

Content Warning: rape, self-harm, and suicidal ideation. Marlee Liss is a survivor,award-winning speaker, victim advocate, somatic educator, and author from Toronto, Canada. She grew up in the arts, but pivoted to social work when she began her college career. It was in Marlee's junior year when her life changed forever; she became the victim of a sexual assault and entered an arduous journey in the criminal justice system as a result. However, three years into that battle for justice, Marlee found an additional path: restorative justice. According to Walden University, quote “Punitive justice is the idea of punishing criminals for their crimes against society or the legal system itself, and is the traditional method of handling crime in the United States. Restorative justice seeks to bring victims of crimes into the justice process. Criminals are asked to take accountability for their wrongdoing by facing those they have wronged... The theory is that criminals owe more than a debt to society—they owe a debt to specific people,” end quote. The two processes are not always mutually exclusive. It's important to note that criminal justice can occur tandemly with restorative justice practices. The Broken Cycle Media team is so very grateful for Marlee's powerful perspective advocacy and time and energy in sharing in this episode.

Oleksii (Alex) Lunkov joins Alicia Esposito to unpack how meaningful constraints fuel creativity in an age of algorithmic abundance. From Saint Sophia's 9 million glass cubes to the digitization of Berry Bros. & Rudd's 300-year heritage, this conversation navigates the tension between AI efficiency and human authenticity. Discover why 95% of AI pilots fail, how brands become cultural ambassadors, and what fractional leadership means for tomorrow's commerce teams.When Centuries of Heritage Meet the eCom Product PageKey takeaways:Meaningful constraints drive better creative outcomes. Removing all friction from digital experiences leaves us wondering why we don't feel anything.AI dramatically increases individual productivity, but human oversight remains essential for tone preservation, fact-checking, and maintaining brand authenticity.Successful brands act as cultural ambassadors, translating something unique through their channels while balancing best practices with distinctive identity.The fractional work revolution emerges at the intersection of AI-enhanced productivity, volatile job markets, and businesses seeking expertise without long-term commitment.Most AI implementations fail because teams don't understand the technology's actual capabilities and limitations before deploying it.[00:06:14] "We removed all the friction, and we wonder why we don't feel anything." - Oleksii, quoting Phillip Jackson[00:11:40] "In order to build a personal brand, you need a person to be behind that brand." - Oleksii[00:28:48] "AI adoption is this huge spike on the top and then very long tail afterwards." - OleksiiAssociated Links:Read Oleskii on InsidersCheck out Future Commerce on YouTubeCheck out Future Commerce+ for exclusive content and save on merch and printSubscribe to Insiders and The Senses to read more about what we are witnessing in the commerce worldListen to our other episodes of Future CommerceHave any questions or comments about the show?

Today's episode of the Punk CX podcast features a chat that I recently had with Matt Healy, Senior Director of Product Marketing at Pega, where we talk about legacy transformation, how big some of the legacy challenges facing firms are, how Pega is responding, why it's important for organisations to have a real strategy with respect to AI agents in order to get meaningful results rather than just applying a bunch of agents and hoping for the best and some lessons from the most successful companies who are managing to scale their AI projects, generate meaningful commercial returns and drive improvements in customer-related outcomes.

Waylon speaks with the Elephant community about the 2025 election and the power of small-d democracy in action. "So much to celebrate last night. Meaningful victories for public servants who will serve us and US, across the board. The beginning— just the beginning—of a repudiation of Donald Trump's corruption and willful destruction of democracy. But most of all: a reminder that most of us are good caring people. Let's do this!!" ~ Waylon H. Lewis
Cynthia Kane's insights into communication stem from a process of self-examination and transformation, leading her from a career in book editing to a calling centered on mindful speech. Recognizing the profound effect language has on both relationships and self-identity, Cynthia developed programs and mentorships to help others experience the same shifts she achieved through Buddhist principles and conscious communication. Her approach addresses the growing demand among professionals who find themselves burned out, showing that the way we communicate not only shapes our external world but also our inner wellbeing and success. Central to her method is the belief in creating brief, meaningful pauses before responding—especially in emotionally charged moments. By teaching practical tools such as breathwork and short mindfulness rituals, she empowers individuals to ground themselves and shift from reactivity to intentionality. This accessible, practice-driven philosophy is especially relevant for busy professionals, showing that genuine change need not require dramatic time investments, but rather, a commitment to small, consistent acts of awareness woven into everyday routines. If you want to experience a more peaceful, purposeful way of communicating and living, explore Cynthia Kane's transformative tools and teachings.

The practice of celebrating dead ancestors started long before Spanish colonizers came to what is now Mexico, but the Aztec and Mayan custom eventually engulfed the entire country, blending Catholic, Spanish, and Indigenous elements into what is now Dia de los Muertos. The festival even spills into parts of the U.S. Some people with Mexican Indigenous ties are working to cut through the contemporary pop culture trappings of the holiday and reconnect with the deeper, more spiritual origins. We'll also hear about Vision Maker Media's expanded push to train and support young filmmakers to tell stories driven by mission. The Native Youth Media Project partners with tribes, organizations, and individuals to develop storytellers at a time when federal support for such projects has disappeared. GUESTS Janet Martinez (Zapotec), executive director of Communidades Indigenas en Liderazgo (CIELO) Kurly Tlapoyawa (Chicano and Nahua), archaeologist and co-host of the “Tales from Aztlantis” podcast Francene Blythe (Diné, Sisseton Wahpeton and Eastern Band of Cherokee), executive director of Vision Maker Media Anita Huízar-Hernández, associate director of the Hispanic Research Center and publisher and managing editor of the Bilingual Press at Arizona State University
I have this funny thing that I do. When I ask people how they're doing, I mean it. So if I ask someone, "How are you doing?" and they say, "Fine," I respond with, "Really? Freaked out, insecure, neurotic, and emotional. No, how are you really doing?" And I mean it. Then I shut up and listen. When someone shares from their heart after you've had that exchange, it opens the door for the next step. I say, "Thank you for sharing that with me. I really appreciate you allowing me to see a part of your heart. Can I pray with you about that right now?" I've never been told no. Because prayer, in a time when someone is hurting, is meaningful, powerful, and effective. Look for opportunities to overcome the " I'm fine" response. Because when you pray with people, it changes things.

Key Takeaways:True commitment begins with finding like-minded people, not convincing others to care. Instead of pitching or pushing, nonprofits should focus on shared values and invite donors into a community built on authentic connection.Meaningful conversations start with listening, not selling. By asking thoughtful questions and validating donors' stories, organizations create space for people to feel seen and heard, laying the groundwork for lasting trust.Letting go of results transforms how we communicate. When fundraisers detach from fear or pressure, they become more open to honesty, mutual respect, and new possibilities that turn rejection into redirection and growth.Donors move naturally toward giving when each step feels like their choice. Using small yeses, open-ended questions, and calm follow-ups helps convert interest into action while maintaining dignity and genuine rapport. “People buy to the level they feel seen and heard. Your job isn't to convince—it's to listen.” “If you're making friends with someone because they have money, that's manipulation. Build relationships first; the money will follow.” “Authentic, honest, transparent relationships create loyal donors for life.”- Maryanne Dersch Let's Work Together to Amplify Your Leadership + Influence1.

David Hutchens: Story Dash David Hutchens works with leaders around the world to find, craft, and tell their most urgent stories for the purpose of creating shared meaning, preserving culture, disseminating learning, and speeding change in organizations. He has taught the Storytelling Leader program at some of the most influential organizations, including NASA, Paypal, Loreal Paris, Cisco, Walmart, Google, and FedEx. He's written many books, including the Circle of the 9 Muses, Story Dash, and The Leadership Story Deck. When organizational change is happening, leaders need to be intentional about lining up with culture, especially if it's the time to shift that culture just a bit. We often do the logistics well, but we miss the power of both the human and emotional connections. In this episode, David and I discuss how story can help us make a meaningful shift. Key Points The organizations that are being intentional about culture are also being intentional about story. Getting beyond the logistics of changes and leaning first into humanity and emotion help people frame cultural shifts. Leaders go first. Embodied stories from leaders are surprising, counter-cultural, and repeatable. Asking for stories is rarely sufficient. Instead, invite stories through intentional prompts like, “Tell me about a time you felt more engaged, alive, and happiest in your work here.” Received stories are the ones told by employees. Adding an emotion word to an invitation such as, “What's a time you were proud?” often surfaces more genuine stories. David is now a Coaching for Leaders expert partner.
