Send a textMike Morgan is a 30 yr medically retired police officer veteran who worked for both the Atlanta & Suffolk County, NY PD's. Approximately 1 yr after retirement, Mike was watching a Shawn Ryan podcast episode featuring guest Eddie Penney, a former Navy SEAL when he realized that the feelings (Anger, rage, depression general unhappiness) he had been experiencing post retirement were some sort of PTSD that he had suffered during the course of his career. Mike knew he needed help but was unsure of what modality to utilize, but eventually settled on psychedelics. After journeying with Ayahuasca in early March 2024, he transformed his life during the course of a weekend. He realized that his life's purpose was to go forth and help other first responder's/military veterans heal their PTSD and trauma issues. He started a podcast, The Resilient Warrior Nation to do just that, and has just completed a book, The Resilient Warrior, which is also heavily focused on childhood trauma that he believes, originally propelled him into policing as a career.

When did holidays become another thing to conquer?In this episode of The Noise of Life Podcast, I sit down with my brother Mark Hodgson, Founder of Mind & Body Travel - to unpack something many of us rarely question: why modern travel feels more exhausting than restorative.Overpacked itineraries. Ten cities in three weeks. Back-to-back flights. “The greatest hits tour.”Somewhere along the way, travel began to mirror modern life - busy, performative and driven by social media validation rather than authentic experience.Mark shares how his work in the travel industry goes far beyond booking flights and hotels. It's about intentional travel planning. It's about designing journeys that strip away the noise and help people truly reconnect - with their partner, their family and themselves.From Vietnam to Europe to Antarctica and everywhere in between, Mark shares powerful stories that reveal the difference between spectacle and substance.This conversation challenges how we approach holidays, travel planning, and time off. Because maybe the better question isn't “Where do I want to go?” but “What do I need right now?”Travel should recalibrate you.It should restore you.It should reconnect you.And when designed intentionally, it does exactly that.If you're interested in travel tips, mindful travel, sustainable tourism, authentic experiences or simply learning how to travel less and experience more - this episode is for you.Inside this podcast:- Why holidays have become another source of burnout- The danger of the greatest hits travel mindset- How overtourism damages authenticity and community- Why rest is about pace, not inactivity- How intentional travel improves relationships and mental healthConnect with Mark:Personal Instagram → https://bit.ly/4r5UnQr Business Instagram → https://www.instagram.com/mindandbodytravel/ Website → https://mindandbodytravel.com/ Connect with Steve:Instagram → https://bit.ly/3KARQhR LinkedIn → https://bit.ly/48sw8Vj Episode Highlights00:00:00 - When did travel become something to conquer00:04:00 - Overpacked European itineraries and burnout00:08:00 - Tourism as economic blessing and curse00:15:00 - The danger of ego driven travel posts00:17:00 - Rest versus performance holidays00:22:00 - Small group travel and intentional design00:27:00 - Antarctica and earning the experience00:31:00 - Why cabin location matters more than people think00:36:00 - Doing the work to reach the good stuff00:39:00 - Saving money through better design, not cheap bookings00:41:00 - Flexibility in modern travel planning00:43:00 - Travel as emotional reset00:46:00 - Using holidays to prepare for your next life sprint00:49:00 - Asking what holiday do I need00:50:00 - Challenge everything as a company valueABOUT THE PODCAST SHOWThe Noise of Life is a podcast that shares real stories, raw truths and remarkable growth.

In this talk, Kisei continues exploring the Faith in Mind poem, reflecting on the invitation to “cut off all useless thoughts” and return to the root of awareness itself. Drawing on the koan of Mu, the teachings of Mumon and Dahui, and her own experience of practice, she reframes “cutting off” as seeing through the thinking mind rather than fighting it. By investigating the nature of thought—its texture, duration, and source—practitioners begin to recognize the spacious awareness in which thoughts arise and dissolve. This talk points to the freedom of the unhindered mind and closes with a poem from Joy Harjo, reminding us that true clarity opens from the heart. ★ Support this podcast ★

LESSON 59Review of Lessons 41 - 45The following ideas are for review today:(41) God goes with me wherever I go. How can I be alone when God always goes with me? How can I be doubtful and unsure of myself when perfect certainty abides in Him? How can I be disturbed by anything when He rests in me in absolute peace? How can I suffer when love and joy surround me through Him? Let me not cherish illusions about myself. I am perfect because God goes with me wherever I go.(42) God is my strength. Vision is His gift. Let me not look to my own eyes to see today. Let me be willing to exchange my pitiful illusion of seeing for the vision that is given by God. Christ's vision is His gift, and He has given it to me. Let me call upon this gift today, so that this day may help me to understand eternity.(43) God is my Source. I cannot see apart from Him. I can see what God wants me to see. I cannot see anything else. Beyond His Will lie only illusions. It is these I choose when I think I can see apart from Him. It is these I choose when I try to see through the body's eyes. Yet the vision of Christ has been given me to replace them. It is through this vision that I choose to see.(44) God is the light in which I see. I cannot see in darkness. God is the only light. Therefore, if I am to see, it must be through Him. I have tried to define what seeing is, and I have been wrong. Now it is given me to understand that God is the light in which I see. Let me welcome vision and the happy world it will show me.(45) God is the Mind with which I think. I have no thoughts I do not share with God. I have no thoughts apart from Him, because I have no mind apart from His. As part of His Mind, my thoughts are His and His Thoughts are mine.- Jesus Christ in ACIM
A sportsbook accidentally listed every golfer in the Cognizant Classic at -10000 while adjusting lines — and for a brief window, chaos broke out across the market. Bettors holding longshots suddenly saw absurd cashout offers hit their accounts, creating one of the wildest pricing errors we've seen in golf betting. The crew breaks down what actually happened, how these -10000 placeholders triggered massive cashouts, whether books are obligated to honor them, and what this says about how sportsbooks manage live risk and line moves. We also dive into Alex Monahan's claim that bankroll management is overrated and debate whether traditional betting discipline is outdated in today's market. Joining Jacob Gramegna are Mike (Mr. PeanutBettor), Joey Knish, and Porter from BA Analytics to unpack the controversy, the philosophy clash, and everything else making noise in gambling Twitter this week.
Most business owners assume their buyer will be a private equity group or a strategic acquirer. But if you run a smaller business in a niche category, the person most likely to buy you is an individual — someone who likes what you've built, can see a path to improve it, and is willing to put their own name on the line to finance the deal. This week on Built to Sell Radio, Joe Soelberg joins the Inside the Mind of an Acquirer series to pull back the curtain on what that kind of buyer actually looks like — and what it means for you as a seller. Listen and you discover how to: spot the tells of a real buyer versus "capital partners" theater pressure-test proof of funds without turning it adversarial use a seller note as a credibility filter, not just a concession understand why individual buyers consistently misread the cash down, seller note, bank structure and how to use that to your advantage ask questions that surface risk early, before lawyers get involved

If you've ever sat down to rest and immediately felt like you should be doing something else… this episode is for you. For so many moms, guilt isn't just a passing feeling. It's a constant background noise. You feel guilty for working. Guilty for not working. Guilty for being exhausted. Guilty for needing a break. Even guilty for enjoying yourself. In this conversation, psychiatrist and author Dr. Jennifer Reid puts language to what so many of us have been living with for years: guilt isn't proof you're failing. It's often the result of unrealistic expectations that never turn off. Dr. Reid, author of Guilt-Free: Reclaiming Your Life from Unreasonable Expectations, helps women understand the emotional weight they've been carrying—especially the kind of mom guilt that quietly fuels burnout. We're talking about why you feel like you're never doing enough, how guilt becomes the decision-maker in your life, and the simple framework that can help you reclaim your agency. What You'll Learn in This Episode Why guilt can actually be an adaptive emotion—and when it becomes harmful How manipulative guilt shows up in parenting, work, and relationships Why moms feel guilty even when no one is actively pressuring them The four major expectations women are conditioned to carry: Constant caretaking Hyper-accountability for other people's emotions Perfection “Effortless balance” Why disappointment (yours or your kids') can feel like an emergency—and how that fuels people-pleasing How guilt drives burnout by pushing you into “should”-based decisions The Guilt Equation: how expectations minus perceived reality creates guilt Why comparison keeps mom guilt alive—and how to interrupt it A self-compassion strategy to help you rest without spiraling into self-criticism Dr. Reid's SPEAK framework: Show up Pay attention Examine Act Keep going Resources Mentioned Guilt Free: Reclaiming Your Life From Unreasonable Expectations by Dr. Jennifer Reid Dr. Jennifer Reid's podcast A Mind of Her Own If mom guilt has been running your life like a manager who never clocks out, this episode will help you see what's really driving it—and how to start making decisions from agency instead of pressure.

Jogen explores the question of motivation for practice, reflecting on why spiritual practice matters in a disturbing and impermanent world and why it can still be difficult to sustain. He examines sources of motivation—from habit and benefit to suffering, wisdom, and mysterious calling—and introduces the traditional “Four Thoughts That Turn the Mind” as contemplations on suffering, impermanence, karma, and death. Through personal stories and practical reflection, this talk invites listeners to consider what truly motivates their practice and how deep contemplation can unbottle a more wholehearted commitment to the Dharma. ★ Support this podcast ★

Words like “mind control” and “brainwashing” get tossed around, but it is a very real science and a very dangerous game that former CIA operative and now conservative talk show host Buck Sexton calls by its scientific name of “menticide,” the murder of the mind. Psychological attacks are real, and the concept of menticide dates to a Dutch psychologist who studied how totalitarian governments control the thoughts of their populations. Joost Meerloo witnessed and studied the way Josef Stalin, Vladimir Lenin, and Mao Zedong used the insights from Pavlov's experiments on dogs against people. His most famous work is called The Rape of the Mind.

Most Christian men handle money exactly like their unbelieving neighbors. They tithe a little, save for retirement, and hope it all works out. But what if money was never meant to fund comfort — but dominion? In this fourth episode of the Abrahamic Starter Kit, we zoom in on the Abrahamic money mentality. This is about building wealth that serves a 200-year vision — not just coasting through a safe suburban life. If you want practical steps to start aligning your finances with dynasty, stewardship, and long-term impact, this episode will show you where to begin.

Summary In this episode of the Frontline Innovators Podcast, host Justin Lake welcomes Kelly Kluge, an expert in technology adoption and transformation. They discuss the critical role of frontline workers as problem solvers and thought leaders, emphasizing the need for organizations to embrace their insights and experiences. Kelly highlights the operational consequences of poor technology adoption, arguing that neglecting the input of frontline workers can lead to missed opportunities and hinder overall business performance. She advocates for a shift in mindset among leadership to recognize the value of these workers and invest in their development, rather than adhering to outdated practices that may no longer serve the organization effectively. The conversation delves into the challenges of technology adoption, particularly for frontline workers who cannot afford to take time away from their duties for training. Kelly stresses the importance of rewarding frontline workers differently and adapting training methods to better suit their needs. They also explore the intersection of people and technology, with Kelly introducing her concept of "Mind and Machine," which focuses on how technology can enhance human capabilities rather than replace them. The episode concludes with Kelly's advice to stay curious and engaged with frontline workers to foster a culture of continuous improvement and innovation. Key takeaways Frontline workers are problem solvers and thought leaders. Poor technology adoption can lead to significant operational consequences. Investing in frontline workers is crucial for business success. Leadership must shift their mindset to value frontline insights. Stay curious and engaged with frontline workers to improve technology adoption.

LESSON 56Review of Lessons 26 - 30Our review for today covers the following:(26) My attack thoughts are attacking my invulnerability. How can I know who I am when I see myself as under constant attack? Pain, illness, loss, age and death seem to threaten me. All my hopes and wishes and plans appear to be at the mercy of a world I cannot control. Yet perfect security and complete fulfillment are my inheritance. I have tried to give my inheritance away in exchange for the world I see. But God has kept my inheritance safe for me. My own real thoughts will teach me what it is.(27) Above all else I want to see. Recognizing that what I see reflects what I think I am, I realize that vision is my greatest need. The world I see attests to the fearful nature of the self-image I have made. If I would remember who I am, it is essential that I let this image of myself go. As it is replaced by truth, vision will surely be given me. And with this vision, I will look upon the world and on myself with charity and love.(28) Above all else I want to see differently. The world I see holds my fearful self-image in place, and guarantees its continuance. While I see the world as I see it now, truth cannot enter my awareness. I would let the door behind this world be opened for me, that I may look past it to the world that reflects the Love of God.(29) God is in everything I see. Behind every image I have made, the truth remains unchanged. Behind every veil I have drawn across the face of love, its light remains undimmed. Beyond all my insane wishes is my will, united with the Will of my Father. God is still everywhere and in everything forever. And we who are part of Him will yet look past all appearances, and recognize the truth beyond them all.(30) God is in everything I see because God is in my mind. In my own mind, behind all my insane thoughts of separation and attack, is the knowledge that all is one forever. I have not lost the knowledge of Who I am because I have forgotten it. It has been kept for me in the Mind of God, Who has not left His Thoughts. And I, who am among them, am one with them and one with Him.- Jesus Christ in ACIM

Growing up we've adopted the energy around work from our parents, teachers and family. That if you're not serious, you're not working hard enough, etc. Each of us is unique in our relationship to the idea of work. Let's break it down.
I loved this episode. In this conversation, I'm joined by Samantha Thomas, founder of MyndGym, to talk about mental fitness and why it matters so much during divorce and separation. When you're navigating a major life change, your nervous system narrows. Your window of tolerance shrinks. Everything feels heavier. More urgent. Harder than it "should". Sam explains the difference between mental health and mental fitness and why small, repeatable daily practices build real capacity when you're overwhelmed. We cover: Why rest is productive What's happening in your nervous system during separation How to regulate before making big decisions Why journaling helps (and why you can throw the paper away) Simple tools beyond meditation Anchoring into your values when identity feels shaky The "Ta-Da List" for when you feel behind A powerful 3-minute reset Why gratitude might be the smallest habit that changes everything If you're functioning but exhausted this episode is for you.

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
In this episode, host Amie Milner sits down with Melanie Borden—founder and CEO of The Borden Group, creator of the Human to Brand framework, and author of “Theater of the Mind” to unpack how founders and executives can turn their personal brand into a true growth engine for their business.They dig into the inner script that keeps so many leaders silent:“I'm not ready yet.”“I don't have enough authority.”“I'm going to take up too much space.”Melanie shares how to interrupt that story with proof of past achievements and, most importantly, action. From there, she breaks down what most people get wrong about personal branding (hint: it's not about being an influencer or “going viral”) and why a strategy-first approach matters more than any single post.
Kisei reflects on the closing stanzas of the Affirming Faith in Mind poem, exploring what it means to trust the heart-mind beyond discrimination and thought. She considers seasons of practice, the tension between sidedness and non-duality, and the lived, particular shape of a practitioner's path, weaving in stories of pilgrimage, faith in America, and the koan of calling out to one's true nature. This talk invites listeners to recognize the mysterious source within, honor their unique karma and calling, and cultivate trust in the unfolding of their life and practice. ★ Support this podcast ★
3 O'clock Hour :00 – Carl and Mike get into some more football talk and share thoughts on the Falcons GM Ian Cunningham saying they have not started any conversations regarding resigning Kaden Ellis and agree that while Ellis was a valuable player, the team could be better off allowing the linebacker to walk and turning towards the market to replace Ellis. :20 – Carl and Mike get into some Hawks talk as they share some thoughts on the team being able to make a push into the top six positions in the Eastern Conference standings and agree they need more from Zaccharie Risacher. :40 – Carl and Mike get into What's On DA-DA's Mind as they discuss Hacksaw Jim Dungan posting his check stubs from his playing days with the Falcons, Phillip Rivers son Gunner committing to NC State and why the San Antonio Spurs may very well be NBA champions at the end of the season.
Show Notes:In this episode of Stories with Traction, Matt Zaun sits down with performance coach, speaker, and former pro tennis player Jeff Salzenstein to unpack what it means to “own your zone,” a powerful framework designed to help high achievers transform stress into strength and pressure into excellence without burning out.Jeff breaks down his three-zone model (body, mind, heart), explains why recovery is the true foundation of sustained performance, and shares practical “micro-resets” leaders can use immediately. They also explore why real change is rare without accountability and why high performers must be willing to challenge cultural norms to protect their energy, health, and longevity.
We dive into the MIND diet, a way of eating that's all about supporting brain health and lowering the risk of Alzheimer's. We break down what's actually in the diet, why it matters, and how it stacks up against other popular approaches like the Mediterranean and DASH diets. Along the way, we share our own experiences with making food changes (the good, the hard, and the “wait, why didn't anyone tell us this sooner?” moments), talk about why brain health deserves way more attention, and explore how the MIND diet can realistically fit into everyday life, without turning eating into a full-time job.Products Mentioned: Aloha Protein Bars - Chocolate Caramel Pecan, Chocolate Peanut Butter Chip

You say you want success, but what happens when things start going well? In Episode #1196, George and Mary-Lynn explore the hidden fear that sabotages progress right before breakthrough: fear of success.Unlike fear of failure, this fear shows up when life is about to change in a BIGG way.

In our Season 4 retrospective, Lt. Col. (Ret.) Naviere Walkewicz '99 and Wyatt Hornsby, the Association & Foundation's senior vice president of marketing and communications, revisit the clips that stuck with them. - “Mind. Body. Spirit.” - “What can I do for others?” - “Be humble. Be credible. Be approachable.” These aren't just soundbites. They're leadership gold. This episode will remind you why these conversations matter. TOP 10 LEADERSHIP TAKEAWAYS FROM THIS EPISODE Lead from mind, body, and spirit Sustainable leadership requires caring for mental clarity, physical stamina, and spiritual/emotional grounding. Leadership is a daily practice, not a position Being a leader shows up in consistent habits and choices, not just in moments when you have the spotlight or a title. Mental health fuels clarity and creativity Protecting your mindset and mental health enables focus, problem-solving, and innovation. Physical readiness underpins reliability Long hours and high-demand environments require physical energy and stamina so you can show up for others when it counts. Spiritual/emotional health anchors your “why” Knowing your purpose and values helps you make grounded decisions and stay steady in pressure or uncertainty. Shift from “Why me?” to “What can I do for others?” Transform challenges by asking how you can serve your team and community, rather than focusing on personal hardship. Selfless leadership unlocks others' potential When you lead by example and create opportunities for others to excel, people gain confidence and stretch toward their own “superhero” potential. Humility, credibility, and approachability are core leadership traits Effective leaders are humble about their limits, credible in what they say and do, and approachable enough that others feel safe coming to them. Trust and respect are earned, not assumed Especially with large teams and many colleagues, you must earn trust and respect through consistent behavior, not rely on rank or title. Leadership is ongoing presence and intention Leadership “doesn't start with a title”; it's about showing up with intention and care, being present when it matters, and putting others first over the long term.

I'm Naviere Walkewicz. Wyatt Hornsby: 0:10 And I'm Wyatt Hornsby, and today we're hitting pause for a moment and we're going to look back. Naviere Walkewicz 0:14 Yes, this episode is our Season 4 retrospective. We're revisiting some of the leadership moments that really stayed with us long after the microphones were turned off. Wyatt Hornsby 0:25 We went back through the season and selected three clips among many amazing ones, each from a guest who brought a different perspective on leadership, but all with a common thread: responsibility to people. Naviere Walkewicz 0:36 Absolutely. We're going to play each clip, Wyatt and I will react to it and talk about why those still matter. Wyatt Hornsby 0:43 And at the end of the show, we'll also look ahead. We've got upcoming guests to share and a couple of important changes and exciting changes to how Long Blue Leadership will be published going forward. Naviere Walkewicz 0:54 Absolutely. So let's get started. All right. Our first clip comes from Tanji Johnson Bridgeman, Class of '97. Her episode stood out because of how she directly spoke about leadership being a daily practice. Now as you listen, pay close attention to how she talks about the health of your mind, body and spirit, and how those together form the foundation of great leaders. Tanji Johnson Bridgeman 1:19 Mind, body, spirit. Why is that important? Because in anything, any philosophies that we adopt, we have to really see where it's important. So when you think of what is an officer — what is a leader going to have to do with their mind? This is where they have to have clarity. It's going to help with focus, creativity, to innovate new solutions. And so we need to be able to prioritize our mindset and our mental health. And then there's the body, right? So a lot of us are going to be going on deployments. We're going to work long hours. Our body is what's going to give us the fuel and energy and the stamina to get through a day. It's literally bringing our energy. And then you think about the spirit, and this one is really special, and it's probably the most neglected. So when you think about the spirit, this is where you're going to anchor in with your emotional health. What is your purpose? What is your why? Wyatt Hornsby 2:06 That is such a great insight. And what really resonates with me, Naviere, is Tanji's emphasis on health and wellness is a critical component of leading others — that integration. Naviere Walkewicz 2:16 Yes, well, you know, we both really take our health and wellness seriously, but I think to the level that she really talked about it being — she really had this quiet confidence, and I think that also spoke volumes, right? It's not just about being physical, but being in your mind, body and spirit really well. And so I think that when we think about how that plays into being really intentional, people will experience you differently. Wyatt Hornsby 2:39 All right. Our second clip comes from Dave Harden, Class of '95. Dave brought perspective shaped by high-stakes environments where leadership is about inspiring others. Listen for how he connects looking outside of yourself, for your team with leading them to their own greatness. Dave Harden 2:55 If we can transform, if we can pause, if we can look up right and see the faith and the what if and not say, say, Why is this happening to me? But what can I do with it? What can I do for others? How can I connect in a meaningful way? You will transform your life. You'll transform your leadership, and you'll transform the people around you, because they'll be inspired to be superheroes in their own right. Naviere Walkewicz 3:26 Wow. That was a very powerful clip. And I just remember his conversation being really powerful, because there were so many moments where we talked about, you know, when you're really leaning into the fire. But this particular clip — what spoke to me, Wyatt — he was saying, if you lead selflessly and by example, looking for others to have opportunities to excel, they actually find the confidence in what they're able to give and do and striving for more. Thought that's really powerful, for sure. Wyatt Hornsby 3:51 Agree Naviere, and that's really timeless leadership. Whether you're leading in uniform or outside of it, people trust leaders who are present when it counts. And Dave really personifies that. Naviere Walkewicz 4:03 Yes, our third clip comes from Congressman August Pfluger, Class of 2000. When we spoke to the congressman, he brought a unique perspective, one shaped by military service and now public service. His leadership journey didn't end when he took off the uniform. It simply evolved. And this clip reflects that sense of responsibility to those one leads. To do that successfully means establishing credibility. Let's roll the clip. August Pfluger 4:30 Growing up professionally in a fighter squadron, there were three tenants that they, even though I didn't go to weapons school, they teach you: that's to be humble, credible and approachable. I mean, think about that. Those are the core tenants of who our lead warriors are. And that is not what you see. When you think of politicians. You think, Well, they're braggadocios and annoying, and, you know, OK, I hope I don't fall into that category. I need to do some self-reflection every once while, but, but I've got a staff of almost 40 people, and I have 434 other colleagues that you have to work with. So you better believe that you've got to be humble, because there are people who are better than you in every category, you better believe that being approachable in this job is really important, because people are going to come to you and they're going to need something, or you're going to need something from them, and if you don't have the credibility of what you're talking about or what you're leading, then you're not going to get anything done. Wyatt Hornsby 5:37 Great insights from the congressman. And that's really one of those leadership truths that carries across every domain for him now in Washington, DC, and the congressman is reminding us that leadership doesn't start with a title. Naviere Walkewicz 5:50 I really appreciate that. I think specifically when he said he had over 400 colleagues, that really stood out to me about not leading with the title, but really leading with your virtue and being there. And so I love the fact that he talked about earning trust respect, and then with that comes credibility. Wyatt Hornsby 6:06 And being approachable. Naviere Walkewicz 6:08 Being approachable. Yes, we see him doing that all the time. Wyatt Hornsby 6:13 All right, so let's look ahead. As we close out this retrospective, we also want to take a moment to look forward, but before we look forward, let me just say that these were three conversations among so many great ones from Season 4. Naviere Walkewicz 6:26 It was hard to choose, wasn't it wise? Wyatt Hornsby 6:28 It was so hard to choose. And we encourage you, if you have not listened to all of Season 4, check them out, because there's so many wonderful guests here. Thanks for the great job you did hosting those conversations. Naviere Walkewicz 6:40 Always my pleasure. Always my pleasure. In fact, gosh, going back, I think, all the way to Season 1, there's always someone, a guest, that our graduates and other listeners, and gosh, our viewers can really resonate with. There's some wonderful leadership lesson down there. Wyatt Hornsby 6:53 And easy to find. You can you can get our episodes anywhere you get your podcast. Naviere Walkewicz 6:57 Yes, we have some outstanding guests coming up. These are leaders from across different fields, and we're excited to bring them into our Long Blue Leadership conversation. Wyatt Hornsby 7:06 And we also want to share a couple of important and very exciting changes to how Long Blue Leadership will be published. Naviere Walkewicz 7:12 Yes, we are moving away from seasons, and we're shifting to biweekly, year-round release schedule. This is so you get Long Blue Leadership all the time, year round. Right to you where you are. Wyatt Hornsby 7:23 Very exciting, and that means more consistent leadership conversations. No long breaks, just ongoing dialog. Naviere Walkewicz 7:30 Absolutely you just go to longblueleadership.org to find your Long Blue Leadership conversation. So going forward, we'll publish our annual retrospective, released each December, a dedicated moment where white and I come together to reflect on the leadership lessons we heard throughout the year. Wyatt Hornsby 7:45 Very exciting, and Season Four reminded us that leadership isn't about having all the answers. It's about showing up with intention and care, being humble, being approachable and putting others first. Naviere Walkewicz 7:57 We're grateful to every guest who shared their perspective and to you for being part of this incredible community. Wyatt Hornsby 8:03 And Naviere, while we're at it too, let's go ahead and thank Ted, our incredible producer of Long Blue Leadership. Naviere Walkewicz 8:09 Thanks, Ted. We appreciate you so much. This doesn't happen without your magic. So thank you very much. Wyatt Hornsby 8:13 Yeah, thank you, Ted and everybody. Thanks for listening. I'm Wyatt Hornsby.
