Love Your Career Podcast? Let us know!Career Reinvention, Retirement and Building a Richer Life with Hannah MartinWhat does it really mean to prepare for retirement? For many women, especially mid-career professionals, retirement planning is often reduced to one question: “Will I have enough money?” Yet, as Hannah Martin explains in this thoughtful conversation, a fulfilling later life requires more than financial security. It also calls for purpose, community, health, independence and a clear sense of what comes next.In episode 282 of Your Career Podcast, Jane Jackson reconnects with Hannah Martin, founder of Talented Ladies Club and Rich Retiree, seven years after their last conversation. Hannah and I chatted in episodes 19 and 101. Hannah shares how her work supporting ambitious mothers returning to the workforce evolved into a new mission: helping women prepare for retirement in a way that is practical, empowering and deeply human.Jane and Hannah discuss the unique career and financial challenges many women face, including career breaks, lower pension or superannuation balances, caring responsibilities, and the implications of, unfortunately, a divorce. Confidence dips after time out of the workforce, and the long-term impact of the gender pay gap.They also explore why career reinvention does not stop at midlife. Whether you are facing redundancy, considering a career change, preparing for retirement, or wondering how to create more meaning in your next chapter, this conversation offers a reassuring reminder that it is never too late to make considered, confident choices.In this episode, we discuss:Why retirement planning must go beyond moneyThe four pillars of a rich retirement: finance, health, community and purposeHow career breaks can affect confidence, savings and long-term financial independenceWhy women often face different retirement challenges from menThe importance of community, contribution and meaningful activity as we ageHow mid-career professionals can begin planning their next chapter before they are forced toWhy career clarity matters at every stage of lifeHow cultural attitudes towards ageing can affect confidence, wellbeing and possibilityThe value of wisdom, lived experience and intergenerational connectionKey takeawayA rich retirement is not only about what you have saved. It is also about the life you are building.For mid-career professionals, this episode is a timely reminder to pause, reflect and ask: “What do I want the next chapter of my life and career to feel like?” Whether you are navigating redundancy, exploring a career change, rebuilding confidence, or preparing for a new stage of life, clarity is the first step towards making wise and grounded decisions.Resource mentioned:YouTube video when Jane visited Hannah in Worthing, UK - showing how genuine networking turns into genuine connections, taking the online connection offline to meet in person.

Sprache ist weit mehr als nur ein Transportmittel für Informationen. Sie ist das mächtigste Werkzeug, das wir als Menschheit haben. Doch während sich die Welt dreht, verharrt die Tourismusbranche oft in gelernten Floskeln. In dieser Folge von Turn Tourismus Around schauen wir uns an, wie Sprache im Zeitalter von Community-Building und digitalen Kanälen funktioniert. Wir sprechen über die Macht der Worte, über die Verantwortung von Marken und darüber, warum es bei Kommunikation nicht um Grammatik, sondern um Haltung geht: Vermitteln wir durch Sprache Offenheit oder grenzen wir aus? Ein Gespräch darüber, warum Sprache niemals neutral ist und wie wir durch bewusste Kommunikation entscheiden, wen wir ansprechen und wen wir unsichtbar machen. Let's build Communities.(00:00) Intro und Begrüßung durch Maren und Marvin(02:30) Inwiefern war Sprache für Marvin in seinem Kommunikationsdesign-Studium wichtig?(03:30) Marens Studium in Literatur und Sprachwissenschaft und warum sie diesen Weg eingeschlagen hat(05:15) Wieso die Touristik sich von veralteter Kommunikation und Klischees lösen muss (08:50) Sprache als Brücke: Zielgruppenspezifische Kommunikation als Must Do(10:50) Werte als Faktor für mehr Authentizität und Erfolg(17:37) Sprache als Teil der Wertschöpfungskette: Warum Influencer-Marketing im Reisevertrieb so gut funktioniert(19:30) Wieso du in deinem Unternehmen einen Kommunikationsleitfaden benötigst(22:42) Gleichberechtigung & Unternehmenskultur: Darum gendern moderne Unternehmen (25:26) Doppelpunkt oder Gendersternchen?(28:24) Frage an Maren und Marvin: ist das Gendern nicht manchmal anstrengend?(30:15) Warum auch aus Business-Sicht kein Weg an inkludierender Sprache vorbeiführt(32:36) Abschließend: Eine bekannte Floskel in der Touristik, die nicht mehr zeitgemäß istHier findest du mehr über uns:https://tourismus-turn.de/https://www.instagram.com/tourismus_turn/https://www.linkedin.com/company/tourismus-turnErschienen am: 21.April 2026

Love Your Career Podcast?

Whether you're feeling stuck, wondering if there's something more fulfilling out there, or trying to figure out your next move, this conversation is for you.I'm sharing why thoughtful self reflection matters more than rushing into action, and introducing my free workbook "Prepare for the Year Ahead" to help you gain the clarity and career confidence you need.Key TakeawaysClarity doesn't come from rushing - When navigating career change, the instinct is to move faster. But like driving in fog, adding speed without visibility creates problems. Creating space for clear thinking moves you forward.Reflection reveals your resilience - Looking back isn't about dwelling on the past. It's understanding the map you've created through your experiences, recognising your growth, and making informed decisions about sustainable paths forward.There's no "right time" for career reflection - Clarity doesn't follow a calendar. Whether facing redundancy, organisational change, mid-year scattered energy, or dissatisfaction, reflection responds to your attention whenever you give it.Reflection is an act of self-respect - Taking time to review your energy, decisions, work, and values isn't wasted time. It's choosing to lead your career rather than react to it.ResourcesDownload the free workbook: Prepare for the Year Ahead - Gain structure and freedom to reflect on your career anytime.

In the 281st Episode of The Main Street Electrical Podcast, Jenn & Dave are working on borrowed time as they are both getting set for the annual gathering of Upon a Star friends in Disney World! First up, Jenn is doing her packing, while Dave tells the story about Southwest that had him fuming... then how the Lovely Wife solved the problem. Then, a quick look at Fast & Furious in Universal - the bad (Fast and Furious Supercharged) and the hopefully good (the Fast & Furious Roller Coaster) coming in a few years. And then they look back to 2020, when Stacey Aswad came on the show (for the first of two appearances!) and we revisit our conversation with her, discussing everything from crying in movies and fashion to starting in voice overs and roller skating and of course, how she got started with Disney and some behind the scenes fun. Hope you enjoy looking back at our convo with the legend that is Stacey from the Must Do Disney days, and let us know if you want to hear her on the show again!

It's the LAST podcast of 2025 so we're going DEEP! Whether you've listened to all 459 episodes or you're brand new to The Todd Durkin IMPACT SHOW, this one is going to hit you right in the heart and soul. This episode wraps up our powerful 3-part Annual Strategic Plan series and it's not just about goals or calendars… it's about your LIFE. In this episode, I invite you to slow down, breathe, take in the essence of this season and really feel this conversation. In Part 3 today, we zoom way out and ask the BIG questions that truly shape who you're becoming as a person and the life & legacy that you're creating. You're going to love it! Here's what to expect in Episode 459: Why this isn't just about having a great year — but about crafting a life that aligns with how God created you to live. The 10 deepest life questions I ask myself — questions around purpose, mission, values, faith, healing, legacy, and IMPACT. How your "Big 5" for Life should drive every decision you're making right now (whether you realize it or not). The difference between running from something vs. running to something — and which one is better. Why you can't build a new future while dragging old wounds, fears, or limiting beliefs into it. How to LET-GO of the past and move into a new future in 2026 and beyond. A powerful challenge to examine your relationship with God, your body, your mind, and your spirit. What it truly means to live a life worth telling a story about — and how your life is already teaching others something extraordinary. Your Tombstone Statement. Why this should inspire you to live your best LIFE NOW!! This episode is meant to be experienced with an open heart, a willingness to be honest with yourself, and a journal in hand (or your Annual Strategic Plan). It's reflective. It's challenging. It's spiritual. It's empowering. And it's designed to help you step into 2026 — and beyond — aligned, intentional, and on-fire. If you're ready to stop drifting, start living even more on purpose, and answer the call on your life, this episode is for YOU. If this episode hits you deep, don't keep it to yourself. Please share Episode 459 on your social media, tag me on IG: @todddurkin, and let me know which of the 10 life questions spoke to you the most.

Welcome to 2026, a year I coin “The Year of Enterprise AI.” As you'll read about (and hear about) in our 2026 Imperatives launch, the coming year is all about AI moving from “assistants” to “agents” to “solutions.” And there are three big considerations to ponder. First, the cost of AI is skyrocketing, so we're going to have to focus on high-value use-cases and business-specific solutions. That's not to say AI assistants and meeting summaries are not valuable, but once you start paying by the token you're going to want to go deeper. As we discuss in our new Systemic HR AI Framework, we're sitting on billions of dollars of real business opportunities now, and they go far beyond individual assistants. (We call these Superagents.) And the cost of AI will accelerate this focus. Second, the data center buildout, energy costs, and political issues with data centers will matter. For corporate users this means understanding the underlying “costs” of AI usage (creating a single high powered image uses as much as 25% of the battery in your phone). I point this out to make you aware that these AI chatbots are not “free” – there are acres of computing campuses being built behind the scenes. And that means your “software providers” are turning into capital intensive companies. (And a new industry of data center companies may take over.) (For those of you in the energy industry, it's a wild time – almost as exciting as I've seen since my early days as an energy engineer during the OPEC Arab Oil Embargo in the late 1970s.) Third is the fast-changing issue of AI's accuracy, trust, and voracious appetite for data. As I discuss, the real opportunity for corporate AI is to take this problem head-on, and focus on your company's data quality, governance, human feedback, and data labeling. The big AI labs are struggling to reduce the “Jaggedness” of AI (it's strange ability to be really good at some things and totally dumb about others), and that encourages us to focus on narrow, domain-specific AI applications. And we all need to learn about RLHF (reinforcement learning with human feedback). Our experience with Galileo proves that an AI solution that focuses on a vertical domain can be infinitely more reliable and intelligent than a general purpose AI. But don't let me argue with Sam Altman, you'll have to figure this out yourself :-). We are launching our 2026 Imperatives research the third week of January, and there will be a special release of Galileo to accompany all the study. Our goal is not to give you a bunch of pithy predictions, but rather to give you a dozen hard-hitting “Must Do's” for the year ahead. I look forward to talking with many of your this coming year as we travel around the world, join us in January for the launch of our 2026 Imperatives research. Like this podcast?

Who's ready for a great show this week?! I'm so fired up--the kids are home, Christmas is in the air, and today's episode is all about designing your most epic year yet — 2026. This is Part 2 of our Annual Strategic Planning Series. Last week we reflected on 2025. This week, we look forward to 2026 and make a decision about who we are becoming, what we are creating, and how we will achieve maximum success and fulfillment. In this episode, I walk you through: How to intentionally design 2026, instead of letting it happen by accident. Why choosing your ONE WORD for the year is a non-negotiable. The shift from what you need to do to who you must become. How raising your daily standards changes everything. We also talk about how I'm personally structuring my year and why fewer, clearer priorities lead to more focus and fulfillment. We dive into practical frameworks, including: Creating daily non-negotiables, as winners don't negotiate with themselves. Building a calendar that reflects your true priorities. Avoiding and eliminating energy leaks and distractions that drain your momentum. Upgrading your environment, your inputs, and the people around you. Installing weekly and quarterly review systems so you fall to your systems, not your excuses. Lastly, I want to challenge you with "10" powerful questions that will frame your entire 2026 year, including: What would a 10-out-of-10 year in 2026 look like? Who must I become to deserve the life I say I want? What habits must be installed, eliminated, or reinforced? What am I willing to say 'no' to so I can say 'yes' to living my best life? Where do I need more discipline—and where do I need more grace? What would my future-self thank me for if I started this habit or action-step today? This episode is a coaching session, a mindset reset, and a call to action as we head into the holidays. Let's be sure to slow down. Breathe. Relax. Pray on your vision. And commit to designing your 2026 year with deep purpose and conviction. If this episode hit home, please share it with a friend, teammate, or family member.

Who's ready to take a breath, pause, and REFLECT with me during this busy, yet beautiful holiday season? This week's episode is a POWERFUL and timely one that can absolutely change the trajectory of your next year. Before you sprint into 2026 with new goals, new plans, and big dreams, I want you to PAUSE. Because clarity, confidence, and courage doesn't just come from looking forward — it comes from looking BACK and extracting the GOLD from 2025 also. And that's exactly what we are doing today. This episode is all about the transformational power of reflection and why it is STEP ONE in creating your BEST YEAR YET. You ready?! WHY REFLECTION MATTERS (5-GAME-CHANGING REASONS): 1. Reflection creates clarity amid the chaos. Life is loud. Fast. Busy. Reflection slows the noise, shifts you from autopilot to intentionality, and gives you crystal-clear focus. Clarity is jet fuel for your goals. 2. Reflection builds confidence by celebrating wins. Most people forget how far they've come. Reflection forces you to capture the GOOD, celebrate the wins, and remember this truth: YOU are capable, resilient, and stronger than you think. 3. Reflection turns challenges into wisdom. Challenges don't break you — they SHAPE you. When you write them down, pain turns into purpose and lessons become leverage for the future. 4. Reflection reduces stress and anxiety. Writing is therapeutic. When thoughts stay in your head, they create pressure. When they hit paper, they create perspective. Lighten the load. Breathe. Release. 5. Reflection realigns you with purpose and values. Reflection reconnects you to what matters most — faith, family, mission, calling. It's a recalibration of your internal GPS. 10 POWERFUL QUESTIONS TO REFLECT ON IN 2025: Take time with these. Don't rush them. Write them out. 1. What were your TOP 5 wins or highlights of 2025? 2. What were your biggest challenges — and what did they teach you? 3. In what ways did you grow the most this year? 4. What did you START in 2025 that you want to AMPLIFY in 2026? 5. What did you tolerate in 2025 that you will NO LONGER tolerate in 2026? 6. What relationships mattered most — and how can you be more intentional with them? 7. What habits FUELED you? What habits DRAINED you? 8. What are you most PROUD of in 2025? 9. Where did you feel the presence of God the most this year? 10. If 2025 were a chapter in the book of your life, what would the TITLE be? These questions are where breakthroughs happen. Not only do I share many of my answers, I ask you to answer them as well. When you start with reflection, your goals become more meaningful, your vision becomes clearer, and your drive becomes PURER. ACTION STEPS: Please Block out 30–60 minutes this week, find a quiet space, grab your journal or Annual Strategic Plan, and start writing. Breathe. Reflect. Don't overthink it. When you take time to pause and look back, you extract the wisdom of 2025 and create a powerful launchpad for what's next.

This week's episode comes to you straight from the breathtaking mountains of Whitefish, Montana, where our recent Annual IMPACT Retreat reached an entirely new level of inspiration, depth, and energy. The room was electric, the ambience was inspiring, and the conversations were powerful. And today, I've got something incredibly special for you — a LIVE interview with one of my closest friends and one of the brightest minds in all of professional sports, Chris Young, better known as "CY." Chris isn't just the President of the Texas Rangers — he's a Princeton graduate, a 17- year professional baseball veteran, a Major League All-Star, and a World Series champion both as a player and as an executive. But beyond the titles, CY is one of the most thoughtful, grounded, humble, and high-performing leaders I know. I trained him for more than a decade through the ups, the downs, the injuries, the comebacks, and the championship moments. We've shared thousands of hours in the gym, countless conversations about mindset, family, excellence, adversity, and purpose… and to bring him to Whitefish this year was truly special. In this candid, emotional, and wisdom-filled conversation, CY opens up about his journey from Princeton to the Big Leagues to leading a world-class MLB organization. He talks about culture, leadership, adversity, mindset, fatherhood, and the exact values that have shaped his life and the Texas Rangers clubhouse. If you're a business owner, parent, athlete, coach, sports fan, or anyone striving to be a better leader, this episode is going to speak directly to your soul. What You'll Learn in This Episode: The core values CY built the Rangers organization around and how YOU can apply them to your team, business, or family. How to eliminate toxicity, reinforce standards, and lead people with clarity and accountability. Why baseball — and life — is a game of failure, and how resilience and self-belief can change everything. Powerful stories from CY's playing days, including injuries, comebacks, competition, and even a Major League brawl (This was funny!). Why your environment, your training partners, and your inner circle matter more than you think. CY's most emotional moment in baseball and the story of pitching the day after his father passed. Lessons on fatherhood, youth sports, and raising confident, grounded kids. How to create an environment where people outperform expectations and realize their dreams. WOW-o-WOW…Chris Young is the real deal—heart, humility, hunger, discipline, and leadership at the highest level. He's one of the rare ones, and I'm truly blessed to call him a friend. As you listen to this conversation, please take a moment to reflect on your own journey. Where can you elevate your leadership? Where can you strengthen your standards, sharpen your fundamentals, and get your mind right even more? This episode is pure jet fuel for the soul and a powerful reminder of what's possible when you lead with deep passion and purpose. If this episode moved you, inspired you, or fired you up, please share it with a teammate, a colleague, a fellow parent, or anyone who could use a dose of championship-level wisdom today.

Happy holidays. I'm pumped to share today's podcast with you during one of the most important, spiritual, and opportunity-rich seasons of the entire year. This is the season where reflection meets revelation. Where gratitude meets growth. And where faith meets fuel. Between Thanksgiving and New Year's, we are also given a sacred window to reflect, release, and realign with God and our many blessings. Listen, this season can be magical…but it can also be stressful, overwhelming, busy, and even emotionally heavy. And if we're not intentional, the holidays can drain us instead of fuel us. So today, I want to walk you through a simple, clear, faith-centered 5- week journey to get your heart right, your mind right, your spirit right… and position you for PURPOSE, PRESENCE, and POWER heading into a brand-new year. How does that sound? In this week's episode, I'm sharing 5 spiritual and personal growth goals that will help you deepen your faith, reduce your stress, elevate your energy, and walk into 2026 with more clarity, passion, & purpose. I hope that fires you up! Specifically, here is what I will be addressing in your "5-Week Spiritual Reset Program" (Ep. 455 of the IMPACT SHOW): 1. Daily "First 10" Spiritual Practice and how it can help ground you and give you even more gratitude on the daily… 2. Sabbath Rhythm Once a Week and how it lowers cortisol, strengthens faith, and restores your mental/emotional battery. 3. Move Your Body Daily with Purpose (Minimum: 30 Minutes a Day) and how this can help lower cortisol, decrease stress, and improve your daily energy. 4. Speak Life Daily (Words of Encouragement Challenge) and how this will strengthen relationships, build joy, and cultivate even more humility and service. 5. Create Your 2026 Vision with God. Spend time between now and New Year's in vision-creation and prayer and you will enter the New Year aligned, focused, and spiritually fueled. A few other things to think about and reflect upon as you answer some deep questions. Be honest. Be real. Go deep. First, ask yourself these 5-reflection questions: o What did God teach me this year? o What prayers were answered? o What trials did I overcome? o Where did I grow? o Where do I still need healing? Then ask yourself these 3-questions that can help mold you to who you are 'today' and who you will become 'tomorrow': o Who is God calling me to become? o What is God asking me to release? o What is God preparing me to build? Lastly, I want to remind you of something today: Life brings seasons of triumph and seasons of trial. The mountaintop moments remind us of God's abundance; the valleys remind us of His presence in our weakness. Remember, 'My faith has carried me through the highest mountains and the lowest valleys.' Just like Psalm 23:4 says: 'Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for You are with me.' There are Mountains. And there are Valleys. And God is present in both. KEEP GOING!! Grab your journal, grab your coffee, lace up your shoes if you're on a walk…and let's dive in. Buckle up, because this is going to be one of those episodes—the kind that blesses your spirit and stokes your soul as we go deep. Thanks for being YOU and I hope that you and yours have a very happy holiday season that's full of peace, joy, and love.

This week, we're talking about something a lot of us experience but rarely admit—when the holiday that's supposed to give us gratitude instead leaves us needing a vacation from our vacation. Between stuffing turkeys, juggling casseroles, and navigating tricky family dynamics, it's easy to lose sight of the spirit of Thanksgiving. So, if you've ever found yourself feeling more exhausted than thankful, this episode is for you. We're unpacking why that happens and what you can DO to actually enjoy the time with your family/friends—WITHOUT burning out.So, Let's Start with This..Thanksgiving should be a time of gratitude and connection, yet for so many of us, it's stressful. The turkey's not done on time, the mashed potatoes are cold, the in-laws are early, and that one relative always finds a way to talk politics.Add the stress of work deadlines before the holiday—and the mental load that women often carry when it comes to holiday planning—and you've got a recipe for burnout. So, if you've ever ended the weekend thinking, “I need a vacation from my vacation,” you're not alone. But here's the good news: there are ways to reclaim the joy of Thanksgiving and walk away from it refreshed, not frazzled.1️⃣ Give Yourself Permission to SimplifyEverything doesn't have to be homemade. Choose one or two dishes that matter most to you, and delegate or buy the rest. Focus on connection over perfection.2️⃣ Protect Your Peace—and Your BoundariesYou can't pour from an empty cup. Schedule breaks for yourself, even if it's just ten quiet minutes on the porch with coffee. If a certain family topic always causes tension, give yourself permission to steer the conversation elsewhere—or quietly step away.3️⃣ Practice Gratitude in Real TimeBefore everyone leaves the table, take a moment to go around and have each person share one thing they're thankful for. It's a simple exercise that recent studies show can boost mood and lower cortisol levels in less than a week. Gratitude changes the tone of the room—and the tone of your heart.That's it for today, ShopTalkers! Let this be the Thanksgiving you actually enjoy—the one where you sit back, laugh a little louder, and remember what the holiday is really about.NEW HERE?
