John is joined by Christopher P. Bogart, CEO and Co-Founder of Burford Capital. They discuss the evolving landscape of capital investment in law firms, focusing on the emergence of non-lawyer equity participation and managed service organization structures as potential solutions to long-standing financing constraints within the legal industry. Traditionally, U.S. law firms have been prohibited from allowing non-lawyer ownership, a rule rooted in the belief that outside investors could compromise lawyers' undivided duty of loyalty to clients. Because of this restriction, firms have largely been limited to partner capital and debt financing, preventing them from accessing equity markets or monetizing the enterprise value they build over time. This limitation affects not only firm expansion and technology investment, but also partner retirement, succession planning, and talent retention.Other common law jurisdictions, particularly the United Kingdom and Australia, have relaxed these restrictions, permitting outside investment and even public listings. Still, large elite firms have been slow to adopt such models, due in part to risk aversion and concerns about partner compensation. In the United States, regulatory change has been fragmented because lawyer governance operates state by state. Arizona and Utah have experimented with loosening ownership rules, but geographic limits and regulatory pushback have constrained broader adoption of looser ownership rules.Recently, attention has shifted to alternative structures, particularly managed service organizations. These arrangements divide a law firm into two entities: one engaged in practicing law and a separate services company handling operational functions that can be outsourced such as litigation support, staffing, technology, and trial logistics. While non-lawyer investors could not own the legal practice, they could invest in the services entity, creating a vehicle for external capital, equity incentives, and infrastructure funding. However, implementing such structures within established firms would be complex from operational, management, and tax perspectives.Despite the slow pace, external capital is widely viewed as inevitable given the legal industry's scale, profitability, and growing technological demands. Meaningful acceleration across the market will likely require several major firms to demonstrate workable models that others can follow.Podcast Link: Law-disrupted.fmHost: John B.

Most consultants don't fail dramatically. They burn out slowly, lose faith in what they've built, and one day find themselves dusting off their resume to go back to corporate.In this episode, Melisa introduces the concept of self-retention: treating yourself with the same intentionality a great company would extend to its top performer. In your business, you're also the manager, the CHRO, and the one responsible for making sure that top talent doesn't walk out the door. High performers, like you, stay when the conditions are worth staying for.

If you've ever thought, “Well, I guess I can't progressive overload because I don't have heavier weights,” this episode is for YOU.We're talking about training volume, progressive overload, and why lifting heavier isn't the only way to make progress. Yes - access to a gym and heavier weights is great! But…it's not required for results. What actually matters? The amount of MEANINGFUL work your muscles are doing over time! Volume isn't just a buzzword you're hearing online these days - it's sets × reps × load. Your body responds to challenge, and it's not just numbers on paper. If you're training at home, you're NOT stuck. Progressive overload isn't just “add weight.” It's more reps, sets, unilateral work, and pauses. The goal isn't heavy - it's HARD for you. Volume + intensity are your two levers, so don't be afraid to use them wisely!Episode recap:Why progressive overload isn't just adding weightWhat training volume really meansWhy effort, strength, and hard reps + recruitment matterHow to increase the challenge when your weights are limitedWhy volume + intensity are your two key leversUnderstanding that scale fluctuations after hard training are NORMALWays that progress shows up beyond the scaleWhy your goal should be hard (not heavy) for youLinks/Resources:Ep. 226 | Pain-Free Performance: How to Build a Powerful and Healthy Body for Life with Dr. John RusinEp. 227 | Your Body Is Not Amazon Prime - Stop Expecting Instant ResultsGrab your FREE Body Recomp Meal Prep and get the UFYF NewsletterListen to the Girls with Opinions PodcastJoin FIT CLUB, my monthly membership with workouts you can do at home or the gymPRIVATE COACHING is my 1:1 program (choose 3 or 6 month option)Connect with me on Instagram @kristycastillofit and @unfuckyourfitnesspodcast so we can keep this conversation going-be sure to tag me in your posts and stories!Join my FREE Facebook group, Unf*ck Your FitnessClick HERE for my favorite fitness & life things!Send me a text with episode ideas or just to say hi!

Episode KeywordsEducation • Innovation • Leadership • Learning • Professional Growth • Storytelling • Educators • Curiosity • Meaningful Experiences • CommunitySummaryIn this episode of Lassoing Leadership, Jason Rogers and Garth Nichols zoom out—and then right back in—on why education remains one of the most exciting, challenging, and hopeful industries around. Drawing inspiration from George Couros' work, including The Innovator's Mindset and Forward Together, the conversation explores what it really means to build learner-centred schools in a world that keeps changing the rules.Jason and Garth unpack innovation not as a buzzword, but as a posture—one rooted in curiosity, relationships, and the courage to keep things fresh. From professional learning that actually energizes educators, to the power of networks beyond our own schools, this episode is a reminder that meaningful growth happens when we stay open, tell better stories, and refuse to get too comfortable with “the way it's always been done.”Take AwaysEducation is evolving—and that's what makes it thrilling if we lean into it.Learner-centred schools don't happen by accident; they're built intentionally.Innovation isn't a program—it's a habit we practice together.Great professional development should spark curiosity, not compliance.Meaningful experiences matter just as much for adults as they do for students.Growth accelerates when we learn with and from people beyond our own buildings.Change doesn't arrive on its own—we have to go after it.Schools innovate best when communities are part of the story.Capturing mantras, moments, and stories keeps learning human.Staying fresh requires noticing when the “smell” has changed—and responding.“The future ain't what it used to be.”“Don't get used to the smell.”“Kids these days… kids these days.”Chapters00:00 – Welcome to Lassoing Leadership04:28 – Rethinking Innovation and the Innovator's Mindset08:15 – What Educators Owe Learners in a Changing World12:15 – Culture, Curiosity, and Continuous Learning13:59 – Forward Together and Paying Attention to New Smells18:05 – Learning Beyond Education and the Power of Networks20:50 – What's Ahead: Guests, Ideas, and Staying Curious

Today, we're diving into the world of intentional dating, a concept that's gaining momentum, especially in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. If you're tired of casual encounters and want to focus on forming meaningful relationships, this episode is for you. Intentional dating is all about being deliberate in your approach to love, prioritizing clarity, emotional maturity, and shared values.Interestingly, a significant shift has occurred in dating behaviors recently. A study from Match in 2021 revealed that 58% of app users have transitioned toward intentional dating. That means a lot of people are looking for deeper connections these days! Post-pandemic, 53% of singles are prioritizing relationships more than ever, leaving behind the superficial encounters that dominated the dating scene a few years back.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/lets-talk-sex-and-dating--5052038/support.

In this episode of the Ger Graus Gets Gritty series, Professor Dr. Ger Graus OBE tackles what he calls "the most underestimated aspect of a child's learning and growing up"—the role adults play as models in young people's lives. Through personal stories, including his daughter's early obsession with "Mrs. Poole" her nursery teacher, and insights from his global work with Kidzania, Ger reveals how children unconsciously absorb behaviours, values, and dreams from the adults around them, often in ways we never notice.This conversation goes beyond the surface of role modeling to question the fundamental structures of modern education. Ger and host Mark Taylor examine why schools still operate on an industrial-era framework—early start times that conflict with adolescent sleep patterns, restricted bathroom access, rushed lunch periods causing "collective indigestion"—and explore what education could look like if we redesigned it around how children actually learn and thrive rather than outdated factory models."If we want a world that is respectful and that is kind and considerate and that is inquisitive and curious, then we need to begin to lead by example. That is the most important part of our job description when it comes to our young people."Key Takeaways1. Adults are role models whether they realize it or not. Children absorb everything from the adults around them—teachers, parents, neighbours, and community members. This "copied behavior" is one of the most underestimated aspects of learning, and adults must become conscious of the example they set in values, kindness, curiosity, and respect.2. Lead by example, not just instruction. Children learn more from what we do than what we say. Schools that demonstrate values through everyday behaviour—greeting people warmly, showing kindness, opening doors—create cultures where children naturally adopt these behaviors, regardless of socioeconomic background.3. The industrial model of education is outdated and failing students. Current school structures—rigid schedules, minimal breaks, locked toilets, rushed lunches—are remnants of the Industrial Revolution designed to prepare workers for factories. This model no longer serves students' needs or prepares them for modern life.4. Schools should be community-owned "more than schools" Educational institutions need to transform into community hubs that serve broader purposes, with flexible hours (perhaps 8am-6pm), adequate meal times, and involvement from employers and community members. Schools should measure and value different outcomes beyond traditional academics.5. Careers education has failed generations and continues to fail. Adults consistently report that their careers education was either laughable or non-existent. Despite this universal acknowledgment, little has changed. Meaningful change requires creating experiential learning environments where young people can explore possibilities and develop authentic aspirations.Chapters:00:00 - Introduction to the Series01:18 - The Role We Play in Children's Lives13:20 - The Role of Teachers as Role Models21:39 - The Importance of Values in Education33:06 - The Role of Role Models in Education42:21 - The Impact of Role Models in Education55:40 - The Influence of Role...

Send a textBuild the belief that builds your life. In today's episode, we get surgical about self-belief and why so many capable people hesitate when it matters most. Confidence isn't hype. It's earned self-trust. It's identity under pressure. When that foundation is weak, goals stall, resilience fractures, and growth never quite leaves theory. We examine the fixed narratives and subtle avoidance patterns that quietly cap performance in business, leadership, and mental health.This is about psychological resilience, growth mindset, and building durable self-trust in a world that constantly tests it. The work is uncomfortable. The payoff is real.

259 - I'm back! After taking a break from the podcast, I've had space to reflect, recalibrate, and realign and this episode feels like the perfect conversation to return with. The previous episode was about becoming the CEO of your life, this one is about something even deeper. It's about the shift from living an impressive life… to living a meaningful one. Because here's what I've seen over and over...especially with high-achieving women and moms: You can build something that looks beautiful on the outside. You can check the boxes. You can carry it all well. You can be admired. You can be capable. And still feel like something is missing. There comes a moment when you realize: “I don't just want to be impressive. I want my life to feel meaningful.” This episode is about that moment. It's about redefining success. It's about choosing fulfillment over performance. It's about creating a life that feels aligned on the inside — not just validated on the outside. We talk about: • Why impressive often feels heavy • How achievement can quietly disconnect you from yourself • The difference between external validation and internal alignment • What meaningful living actually looks like in everyday life • How to shift your energy, priorities, and pace • Why stepping back (like I did) can sometimes be the most aligned move you make This isn't about abandoning ambition. It's about redefining it. It's about asking: What actually matters? What feels true? What would bring peace instead of pressure? If you're a high-achieving woman who has built a lot… but is craving more ease, more clarity, and more depth — this episode will meet you exactly where you are. And if you've been feeling the quiet nudge that something needs to shift… this is your permission to listen to it. You don't need to impress. You get to be intentional. You get to choose meaningful.

Unlocking Narrative Authority: The Transformative Power of Storytelling with Amanda JohnsonIn this episode of The Thoughtful Entrepreneur Podcast, host Josh Elledge sits down with Amanda Johnson, the Co-Founder and CEO of Saved By Story, to explore how authentic narrative serves as the ultimate differentiator for high-performing leaders. Amanda, often referred to as the "Story Oracle," discusses how entrepreneurs can move beyond the "information dump" of traditional marketing to create deep, emotional connections that establish lasting authority. The conversation provides a roadmap for professionals who feel their message is getting lost in the noise and offers a strategic framework for turning lived experience into a powerful tool for business growth and personal transformation.Moving Beyond Information to Embodied AuthorityTrue storytelling acts as a core operating system for human connection, yet many entrepreneurs struggle to bridge the gap between their technical expertise and their personal journey. Amanda explains that while high-achievers often fear that vulnerability will undermine their credibility, the opposite is true; sharing the "messy middle" of a journey creates a bridge of empathy that data alone cannot build. By shifting the focus from simply selling a solution to narrating a transformation, leaders can invite their audience into a shared experience. This approach doesn't just inform a potential client—it evokes a physiological and emotional response that makes the brand's message unforgettable in a crowded marketplace.In an era dominated by rapid-fire AI content, the value of a "human-authored" story has never been higher because artificial intelligence fundamentally lacks the ability to embody a message. Amanda cautions that while AI can remix existing data, it cannot replicate the self-transformation that occurs when an author wrestles with their own beliefs during the writing process. Authenticity is something an audience can sense instinctively, and they are increasingly hungry for the nuance and "heartbeat" of real lived experience. For the modern thought leader, the act of writing a book or crafting a narrative is as much about their own evolution as it is about the final product delivered to the reader.To facilitate this deep work, Amanda utilizes a structured yet immersive process that allows busy executives to step away from daily distractions and tap into their creative flow. Through a combination of intensive retreats and consistent virtual accountability, she helps clients give themselves "permission to write badly" in the early stages to bypass the perfectionism that leads to writer's block. This iterative refinement ensures that the final narrative is not just a collection of facts, but a polished, high-impact tool that enhances every aspect of a leader's presence, from public speaking to brand positioning. By committing to this holistic storytelling model, entrepreneurs can secure their place as trusted authorities who lead with both heart and head.About Amanda JohnsonAmanda Johnson is the Co-Founder and CEO of Saved By Story and is widely recognized as the "Story Oracle." She is a master at helping high-performing entrepreneurs and authors uncover their core narratives, helping them translate complex expertise into transformative books and brand stories that resonate on a global scale.About Saved By StorySaved By Story is a publishing house and storytelling consultancy that specializes in supporting thought leaders through the journey of book creation and narrative development.

This should include exactly where parents need to meet, the order of the ceremony, and instructions for photos. By removing the guesswork, you reduce "event anxiety" and ensure the focus remains on honoring the seniors' dedication to the program. Effective Senior Night management also involves balancing the emotional ceremony with the competitive demands of the game. It is a common "Senior Night Trap" for the team to come out flat or overly emotional after a long pre-game presentation. To combat this, keep the on-court ceremony concise and impactful. Use "Senior Profiles"—short, pre-written bios read over the PA system—that highlight the player's favorite memories and future plans. This provides a personal touch without dragging out the timeline. Coaches should also have a clear plan for the starting lineup; while it is traditional to start all seniors, communicate this with your underclassmen early in the week to maintain team chemistry and ensure everyone is locked into the game plan once the ball is tipped. Finally, Senior Night is the ultimate opportunity to strengthen your long-term relationship with the parents and the community. A small, thoughtful gesture—like a handwritten note to the parents thanking them for their support or a framed photo of the player—goes further than any expensive gift. This is the moment to reinforce your program's "Culture of Gratitude." After the game, regardless of the outcome, take a moment to personally thank the senior families for their "tenure" in your program. By treating Senior Night as a professional, heart-centered production, you turn a simple game into a lifelong memory, proving that your program values the people just as much as the points on the scoreboard.

In a world humming with AI, automation, and endless digital noise, something quieter and far more human is making a comeback. Community.In this episode of The Women On Top, Valerie Lynn sits down with Meagan Allers, Community Manager and Partnership Strategist at Marco Polo, for a conversation about what it really means to create spaces where people feel seen, safe, and connected. Not the kind of community measured in numbers or engagement metrics, but the kind that lingers, roots itself in trust, and feels like coming home.Together, they explore the often misunderstood difference between community building and community management, why genuine connection cannot be rushed or manufactured, and how introverts, often underestimated, can become some of the most powerful community leaders. Meagan shares her own winding path into this work, from boldly cold reaching out to start a women's pickleball group, to helping cultivate meaningful connection inside a fast growing tech company.They also talk about the quiet return to in person gatherings, the role of storytelling in technology, and the beautifully unexpected range of people finding connection through Marco Polo today. At its heart, this conversation is a reminder that while technology can scale systems, belonging is still built in small, human moments, one conversation at a time.If you are building a brand, nurturing a community, navigating loneliness in a hyper connected world, or simply craving something more real, this episode is for you.About Meagan: Meagan Allers is a Community Manager and Partnership Strategist at Marco Polo, where she designs spaces rooted in connection, trust, and belonging.

Ever feel completely burned out—exhausted from loss, grief, the grind of life and ministry, and that deep sense of disconnection from your purpose and from God? You're not alone, and there's real hope on the other side. This week on the Known Legacy Podcast, the guys welcome back their friend Mike Weaver, lead singer of Big Daddy Weave. Mike vulnerably shares his raw journey through one of the darkest seasons of his life: navigating overwhelming burnout, profound grief after losing his brother and bandmate Jay, the weight of ministry demands, and feeling spiritually and emotionally disconnected. But this isn't just a story of pain—it's one of restoration. Mike opens up about how God met him in the brokenness, reignited his purpose, and brought healing that allowed him to step back into life and music with renewed passion and hope. If you're in a season of fatigue, questioning your calling, or grieving losses that have left you feeling far from God, this conversation will remind you that burnout doesn't have to be the end—it's often where true restoration begins. Tune in for honest encouragement, biblical insight, and the reminder that God can redeem even our deepest disconnection. Check out Mike's powerful music and the latest from Big Daddy Weave at bigdaddyweave.com—songs like "Redeemed," "The Lion and the Lamb," and tracks from their recent projects carry the very hope he talks about here.

Some people take trips. Evlyn Mondo built an entirely new life through travel.Her journey from science labs and academic classrooms in Quebec to leading a luxury villa in Barbados is a story of reinvention guided by courage, intuition, and heart. As CEO and Managing Director of Villa Casablanca at Sandy Lane, Evlyn is redefining what luxury truly means by shifting the focus from opulence to connection, sustainability, and experiences that stay with people long after they return home.Drawing from her perspective as both traveler and host, Evlyn curates stays that feel deeply personal and emotionally meaningful. She shares how thoughtful details, cultural immersion, private chef experiences, and eco-conscious practices come together to create space for guests to slow down, celebrate life's milestones, and reconnect with themselves and each other.“Luxury isn't about excess,” Evlyn says. “It's about presence and creating space for people to reconnect with themselves, with each other, and with the place they're in.”Her story goes beyond hospitality. Evlyn shares stories about identity, bravery, leadership, and the choice to design a life aligned with purpose. She reminds us that reinvention isn't about losing who we were, but expanding into who we're meant to become.A must listen! Only on Speaking of Travel. Thanks for listening to Speaking of Travel!

The insurance industry is still in love with the 1990s. We glorify the "grind" of cold calling and spamming inboxes, ignoring the reality that the modern buyer has moved on. Today's C-Suite executives aren't sitting by their phones waiting for a quote; they are curating their feeds looking for thought leadership.

Can We Say Anything Meaningful About a Venezuelan Debt Restructuring? Venezuela must restructure its debt if it, and its new "friends" in Washington DC, want the economy humming again. But how? The debt stock is enormous and the range of claims so vast that normal techniques are unlikely to work. And typically, before anything could happen, the IMF would need to go in and assess the actual situation on the ground. All this takes time. But we imagine that the folks in Washington DC want to declare their adventure a success, and soon. Is that impulse consistent with an orderly, comprehensive debt restructuring? For that matter, what would a restructuring look like if we also assume that Washington wants to line its own pockets with Venezuelan oil revenues, and perhaps to give preferential treatment to oil major creditors (to entice them back into Venezuela)? We don't have answers — but we suspect that those folks in DC don't either. Producer: Leanna Doty

Send us a textIn today's episode of Evolve Ventures Tech, we sit inside one of the most uncomfortable truths of modern life: certainty is gone, and pretending otherwise is quietly draining our stability. We examine how nonstop information, digital volatility, and collective fear reshape the nervous system, distort perception, and weaken emotional grounding. This episode does not offer false reassurance or easy fixes. It names what it actually feels like to live in a world where safety feels conditional, and the future feels unstable.Through a clarity-forward, psychologically grounded lens, we reveal why so many people are dysregulated without realizing it, why resilience is harder than ever, and what it takes to stay anchored without disconnecting from reality.Here are the related episodes, each one builds on today's conversation:#291 | Motivation Monday: 3 Simple Conflict Resolution Tools You Need to Know - https://apple.co/4rnXvHP #473 | The Tools You Need to Stop Emotionally Numbing - https://apple.co/46impk3Learn more about:

In a world overflowing with business content and quick-fix success formulas, authentic dialogue about what gives life meaning can feel rare. On this episode of Christopher Lochhead: Follow Your Different, we have a conversation with Daniel Coyle, bestselling author of “The Culture Code” and the new book “Flourish.” We unpack why thriving individually and collectively goes far beyond achievements. Their dialogue serves as a blueprint for building a life and community that feels connected, alive, and meaningful. 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.   Beyond the Mountain: What Happens After Success? For many, life is a climb toward results: career milestones, fame, or financial rewards. Both Lochhead and Coyle share how, after reaching some form of the summit, people often ask “What's this all for?” The answer, according to years of research on happiness and human development, isn't another achievement. Instead, life satisfaction comes from meaningful relationships. Despite this, Western culture pushes us to optimize, perform, and automate, treating life and business as machines instead of thriving ecosystems. To flourish means to recognize life as something to be tended like a garden, not a hill to conquer.   The Paradox of Results and Meaning High performers often value discipline, drive, and outcome; the thrill of legendary results. Coyle acknowledges the paradox: results are important, but without serving something higher, they feel empty. Achieving big goals can even hollow out life if not connected to deeper values or service beyond oneself. True flourishing involves aligning your pursuits with something greater and knowing what you want to exist in the world even if you're not there. As Coyle puts it, life's best moments often come when “you kind of vanish” into connection, contribution, or flow: whether with people, ideas, or experiences.   Cultivating Flourishing in Daily Life If flourishing is rooted in shared, joyful, and meaningful growth, how can we cultivate it amid daily pressures? Coyle's advice is to start small and intentionally reflect on where you already feel most resonant, moments when you lose yourself in work, play, or connection. Track these periods and aim to create more of them. Meaningful relationships come from deep questioning and mutual investment, not from perfect routines or solitary habits. Prioritize the “animate” parts of your life: the conversations, surprises, and even the messiness of real relationships, which are hallmarks of flourishing communities and partnerships. Ultimately, flourishing is mutual: you cannot thrive alone, and your aliveness helps those around you come alive too. The message is clear. Achievements matter, but without connection and mutual flourishing, they become hollow victories. Designing a flourishing life is not only possible but necessary for real fulfillment, and it starts with tuning into what gives your days meaning and builds authentic relationships along the way.

“Work that is meaningful has the power to change not just what we do, but who we become.” Gloria Steinem Meaningful work isn't just about what you do for a living—it's about how your values, strengths, and sense of purpose show up in the world. Meaningful work is where your strengths, values, and actions intersect to drive a sense of purpose.  In this episode, I explore why meaningful work matters so deeply, especially for leaders and high achievers who look successful on paper but feel disconnected on the inside. I talk about how meaning sustains us through hard seasons, protects us from burnout, and helps us stay grounded in who we are rather than chasing external validation. I also unpack a misconception I see all the time: that your job should meet all of your meaning needs. That belief can create unnecessary pressure and disappointment. Meaningful work can live inside your workplace, but it can also exist outside of it through mentoring, service, creativity, advocacy, and leadership in your community. I share how anchoring meaning in values and strengths, rather than titles, opens up far more possibilities for fulfillment and impact. This episode also provides simple, practical ways to do more meaningful work right now, without quitting your job or blowing up your life. We talk about redefining work, creating micro-purpose moments, and giving yourself permission to diversify where purpose comes from. If you've been craving more depth, alignment, or impact in how you spend your time and energy, this episode will help you reconnect with what actually matters - and take your next meaningful step.
