Today, we explore what it means to invest in a world defined by volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity (VUCA). We discuss why geopolitical shocks... especially supply-driven ones... are creating persistent trends across markets, and why trend-following strategies are thriving despite strong equity performance. The conversation dives into how investors process information (or fail to), the limits of central bank responses to supply shocks, and why markets may not be fully pricing in current risks. Mark also shares new research comparing hedge fund strategies under different volatility regimes, highlighting why managed futures stand out as a robust diversifier. The episode closes with a forward-looking discussion on AI, replication strategies, and the growing role of narrative versus data in investment decision-making.-----50 YEARS OF TREND FOLLOWING BOOK AND BEHIND-THE-SCENES VIDEO FOR ACCREDITED INVESTORS - CLICK HERE-----Follow Niels on Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube or via the TTU website.IT's TRUE ? – most CIO's read 50+ books each year – get your FREE copy of the Ultimate Guide to the Best Investment Books ever written here.And you can get a free copy of my latest book “Ten Reasons to Add Trend Following to Your Portfolio” here.Learn more about the Trend Barometer here.Send your questions to info@toptradersunplugged.comAnd please share this episode with a like-minded friend and leave an honest Rating & Review on iTunes or Spotify so more people can discover the podcast.Follow Mark on Twitter.Episode TimeStamps:00:00 – Introduction: Preparing for the unpredictable00:36 – Entering a VUCA world: volatility, uncertainty, complexity, ambiguity02:00 – “Uncharted territory” in markets and beyond05:30 – Central banks, leadership changes, and policy uncertainty07:16 – Oil markets, OPEC shifts, and geopolitical tension10:16 – Trend-following performance update and market context14:06 – Reverse engineering CTAs and the role of AI18:42 – Replication strategies vs. true alpha22:41 – Trend-following performance metrics (April update)24:43 – Supply shocks and why they're harder to manage28:53 – Are markets underreacting to geopolitical risk?31:53 – Information overload, ambiguity, and trend persistence34:54 – Why more data doesn't mean better decisions38:34 – Government intervention vs. market-driven trends40:30 – Pandemic policies and unintended inflation43:00 – New research: hedge fund strategies vs. volatility regimes47:16 – Why managed futures stand out as diversifiers51:11 – Narrative vs. data in investment decisions55:36 – AI, sentiment analysis, and the future of models58:46 – Simplicity vs. complexity in strategy design01:00:49 – Bundling vs. unbundling investment strategies01:03:18 – Momentum crashes and new research directionsCopyright © 2025 – CMC AG – All Rights Reserved----PLUS: Whenever you're ready... here are 3 ways I can help you in your investment Journey:1. eBooks that cover key topics that you need to know about In my eBooks, I put together some key discoveries and things I have learnt during the more than 3 decades I have worked in the Trend Following industry, which I hope you will find useful.

The central theme of this podcast episode revolves around the intricate psychological and physical challenges encountered by a patient nearing the end of their colon cancer treatment. As we delve into a deeply personal journal entry from 2013, we explore the metaphorical race toward the finish line of therapy, emphasizing the significant mental and emotional toll that accompanies such a medical journey. The author poignantly illustrates how the anticipation of an April 12th completion date serves as a psychological anchor, providing a semblance of control amid the chaos of their treatment. We also examine the essential role of a supportive community and the adaptive strategies employed by medical professionals, highlighting the delicate balance between clinical protocols and the human need for hope and normalcy. Ultimately, we reflect on the profound transition that occurs post-treatment, where the challenge shifts from active combat with illness to the uncertain waiting period that follows.

As the protagonist anticipates the closure of a challenging chapter, the conversation culminates in a reflection on the profound psychological shifts that accompany the transition from treatment to survivorship, raising critical questions about the nature of hope and the path forward in a life post-cancer.Takeaways:The author uses racing imagery to illustrate their colon cancer treatment journey, emphasizing resilience.The psychological impact of a defined treatment end date can aid in patient morale during therapy.Humor is employed as a coping mechanism to deal with the harsh realities of cancer treatment.The role of a supportive community is pivotal in maintaining a patient's quality of life during illness.The medical team's flexibility in treatment plans highlights the importance of adapting care to patient needs.The transition from active treatment to post-cancer surveillance presents unique psychological challenges for survivors.

Eric Jorgenson is the CEO of Scribe Media, the industry's largest professional publishing service, dedicated to helping entrepreneurs, executives, and experts write, publish, and market their books. Eric is also the bestselling author of The Almanack of Naval Ravikant and The Anthology of Balaji, with over a million copies sold. Beyond his publishing expertise, Eric is an investor in deep tech startups and an influential blogger and podcaster. His unique journey from author and curator to CEO-especially after helping revive Scribe Media from bankruptcy-makes him a fascinating guest with deep insights into the evolving world of book publishing, authorship, and leveraging books for business growth. On this episode we talk about: – The origin story behind The Almanack of Naval Ravikant and why Eric created it – The rise, fall, and rebirth of Scribe Media-and Eric's path to CEO – Key differences between traditional publishing, hybrid, and self-publishing models – How books can serve as powerful business assets beyond just royalties – The critical importance of quality and professionalism in publishing – Navigating advances, control, and intellectual property as an author – Why marketing and personal networks now drive book sales more than ever – The realities of bookstore placement, bestseller lists, and the modern publishing landscape Top 3 Takeaways 1. A book is more than a business card-it's a credential. A well-written, high-quality book can serve as a lifelong asset, building trust, authority, and opening doors for speaking, consulting, and business opportunities. 2. Control and flexibility matter. Traditional publishing can offer credibility and advances, but often at the cost of creative and financial control. Many authors now succeed by self-publishing or using hybrid models, retaining rights and maximizing ROI. 3. Marketing trumps distribution. In today's landscape, personal networks, podcasts, and word-of-mouth drive more book sales than traditional media or bookstore placement. Demonstrated demand online is what gets books into stores-not the publisher's logo. Notable Quotes “A good book is much more like a PhD. It's a credential you should be proud to put in front of whoever the most important person in your network is.” “Half-professional is unprofessional. If you're not proud to put your book in front of someone, you didn't invest enough time and effort.” “What really matters most is a great book. Your readers don't care who published it-they care about the value inside.” Connect with Eric Jorgenson: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/erjorgenson Website: ejorgenson.com Scribe Media: scribemedia.com Learn more about your ad choices.

In hopes that having her partner’s child would solidify this outcome, Jess became pregnant at nineteen but begrudgingly learned that the vision she had for her life—as a wife and mother—would have to be reimagined.After multiple attempts at a relationship between her and her son’s father failed, Jess accepted that, while they would never get married, they were forever linked by the lifetime commitment of raising a child together. With her trademark wit and perspective, Jess shares her experiences with valuable and vulnerable insight for coparents who struggle with what it means to put their children first while protecting them from the ups and downs of adult relationships. ’Til Death Do We Parent is an inspirational journey to coparenting with ease and humor. ---------------------------------------- GOOD VIBES RETREAT INFO

Welcome back to the podcast, beautiful. This week's episode is for the woman who's been quietly asking herself, "Will I ever get my spark back?" Maybe you're navigating a divorce, a breakup from a long-term relationship, or the loss of a job. Our identities are everything and when we lose something we've tied so much of ourselves to, it can leave us feeling defeated, disconnected, and unsure of who we are. Since becoming pregnant, I've experienced my own version of "losing my spark." And now, 24 weeks later, I can feel it slowly but surely returning. In this episode, I'm sharing the exact steps that supported me through this season so you can begin reconnecting with your spark, too.

This week, we explore the invisible boundaries that shape our work, our relationships, and our own sense of what's possible. We open with the story of the four-minute mile: for nine years, no one could break it—until Roger Bannister did, and the floodgates opened. What changed? Not the runners' bodies, but their sense of possibility. This episode is about those frames we rarely question—the ones that quietly dictate how high we reach and what doors we see as closed.We're joined by Tom Rath, bestselling author of What's the Point?, who shares practical ways to bring purpose and curiosity into daily routines. He challenges the myth that purpose is something lofty or rare, arguing instead for small, conscious actions that compound over time. We also talk with Dr. Claude Steele, social psychologist and author of Churn, who uncovers the hidden cognitive cost of navigating difference—and the power of trust and curiosity in building genuine connection.This episode is for leaders and ambitious people who want more than surface-level inspiration. We unpack the non-obvious, often-unspoken barriers to creative impact, and offer mindsets and tactics to do our best work in a world of uncertainty and change.Five Key LearningsPossibility follows perception: The true barrier is rarely our capability; it's the mental frames we accept as facts, often inherited from others or from outdated stories about what's realistic.Purpose is built, not found: Purpose isn't a grand concept reserved for a chosen few—it's a practical orientation, shaped by the daily question: “What's the point?” and, more specifically, “Who do I help?”Exposure gaps limit potential: Most of us only ever glimpse a fraction of what's really possible in our careers or lives. Deliberately widening that aperture—seeking out new experiences and perspectives—creates new options.Difference comes with cognitive overhead: Navigating diverse teams or situations requires extra energy—what Dr. Claude Steele calls “churn.” That bandwidth tax is real, but understanding it is the first step in reducing its effect.Trust is the antidote to churn: Building trust—through curiosity rather than defensiveness—turns anxiety into opportunity. Leaning into difference, rather than simply managing it, can unlock creative and relational breakthroughs.Get full interviews and bonus content for free!

Proven Strategies for CMOs in the Canadian Retail Sector With the rise of AI, shifting consumer expectations, new market entrants, and increasing overhead costs, the Canadian retail landscape is under intense pressure. To survive and outpace the competition, retailers must adapt to rapidly evolving market dynamics, lead with courage, and be uniquely positioned in an ecosystem that's becoming increasingly crowded. So, what can Canadian CMOs and retailer leaders do to embrace change and make strategic decisions that will lead to true differentiation and sustainable, long-term growth? In this solo episode, Christian Klepp (Host of the B2B Marketers on a Mission Podcast) shares his exclusive takeaways from the DX3: Retail Reinvented Conference in Toronto. He explained how AI is disrupting the shopping experience, what authentic Canadian content looks like, and why brand stewardship is everyone's responsibility.

Companies and links mentioned: Christian Klepp on LinkedIn Economic Club of Canada DX3: Retail Reinvented Conference Transcript Christian Klepp Christian Klepp 00:00 The business environment around us is changing quickly, and the retail sector is no exception. Canadian businesses continue to face significant challenges, from rising costs and evolving consumer expectations to rapid technological advances in AI intense global competition. So how can Canadian CMOs and retail professionals thrive despite these challenges, welcome to this episode of the B2B Marketers in a Mission Podcast, and I’m your host, Christian Klepp, today I’ll discuss what I’ve learned from a recent retail conference I attended and provide some key takeaways. I also wanted you to know that this episode is sponsored by the Economic Club of Canada. Okay, let’s dive in. So at the end of February, I attended a DX3 retail reinvented conference in downtown Toronto. It was an event where leaders, marketers and executives congregated to discuss challenges and opportunities that shape the future of retail in Canada. And today, I wanted to take you through my key learnings from that event to help you better position your teams for success. The DX3 conference covered a broad spectrum of topics essential for any CMO or retail professional today. So they cover the following topics, emerging market trends and the new shopper, reality, social commerce and the power of authentic content, retail media and its growing influence, Canadian identity branding in a globalized world, and also strategic leveraging of AI on the channels and sustainability to remain competitive so and as a B2B Marketer, I think it was really eye opening, you know, to hear how colleagues in the broader retail and B2B marketing ecosystem are managing these shifts and getting up to speed with new technologies also to help them thrive, right? One of the most prominent topics was, unsurprisingly, artificial intelligence, or AI. So there was the opening presenter, who was Adam Froman of Delvina, who set a powerful tone by stating, The next Tech tsunami isn’t coming. It’s already here. So some of the critical takeaways from Adam’s session on leveraging AI as a silent Copilot were as follows. So one was about closing the gap, right? So AI collapses that divide between knowing something and acting upon it, right? So it allows us to analyze customer insights, but it also helps us to optimize things like pricing, to create tailored experiences that competitors can’t easily replicate. Then there was that second topic that he talked about, with regards to operational intelligence and how you can use or leverage AI for inventory forecasting, task prioritization and also staff optimization. So it’s time to ditch those manual SOPs (Standard Operating Procedure) to reduce volatility and eliminate inefficiencies. The third one was a human element, so I think that almost goes without saying, right? So he’s not saying not to use AI, but he’s saying, while we should be embracing AI to stay ahead, we shouldn’t lose sight of our brand values, right? So as marketers, we need to inject the human element to ensure the customer trust is still there and it remains intact and isn’t jeopardized by faceless technology, right? So that was the first presentation. There was another one, which was a really interesting panel, and it was moderated by Jason Hunt of Merged Media that featured guests, Adrian Fuoco from Pizza pizza, and Tanya Kreinin from the University of Toronto. So they focused on the biggest threats and opportunities for Canadian retail, CMOs. So they had really practical but also hard hitting advice. And what do I mean by that, right? So they they talked about things like authentic content, right? So they suggested like for marketers in their campaigns to leverage micro and nano influencers. And why? Because authentic moments on social media often resonate better these days, with audience, with audiences, than highly polished, wildly expensive branded content, but we also need to think about how we can bring that authentic Canadian element into our content, those Canadian values around innovation and around kindness, around diversity, around that spirit of adventure. Right then there was a second topic of brand ownership, and this is something I think that people in the space has been, have been talking about for a long time, right? Because brand is no longer the sole responsibility of the marketing team. So in a retail context, that’s like, from the frontline staff to the delivery teams, everyone has to live and breathe the brand. Then the third topic, which I think was, is a really important one, because it’s talking about how to leverage or it focuses on the topic of data utilization. So it’s kind of like that old adage, like slowing down to speed up. So what does that mean? Right in the data co. Context, that means using the vast data that marketing teams have at their disposal to identify patterns in customer behavior and to continuously improve the customer experience. Navigating uncertainty was another theme. It was a recurring one. It’s one that we need to pay attention to, especially in these very challenging times. So it’s important for brands to also be able to, you know, be agile, flexible and adapt quickly to changing dynamic dynamics within the market, right? So there was another panel at the event with industry veterans Andrea Hunt from the Association of Canadian Advertisers, and Krista Cunningham from Revlon Canada. And they touched on how to lead through transformation. And there was really one great quote that stood out for me in that conversation, and it was something I think, that Krista Cunningham said, resilience is grit wrapped in grace. What that means is like they urge leaders to lead with courage over certainty, moving quickly and adapting even when the path isn’t perfectly clear. And their advice to retailers facing uncertainty was also very pragmatic, right? So the first one was to address the pain points, because the consumer landscape, as we all know, has shifted, you have to listen to your customers and adapt your products to their current challenges, not the ones they had two years ago. The second piece of advice was about making a case for relevance. So with new competitors entering the market daily, you must know why customers should care about you. And the last piece of advice is was lead with courage over certainty. So they encouraged us to be bold, to move quickly, adapt, fail fast and also lead with humility. The final session that I wanted to highlight featured two gentlemen. So one was Guewen Loussouarn, I hope I pronounced that correctly, from Haigo & Sid Lee Group and Johan Vakidis from Sid Lee North America, who presented an extensive study that Haigo and Sid Lee conducted on the new shopper reality in Canada. So they noted that while omni channel is now table stakes, the true differentiation lies from understanding the human on the other side of the screen. So they highlighted five key shifts for the modern shopping journey. So the first one is capturing attention. So basically, in an LLM (Large Language Models) world, you must be bold. Two consideration, you have to show the thing. So show the thing is like being direct, being direct in what you’re offering, being direct in what you’re what the benefits of your product are, or your service, right? Being direct in terms of how you’re different, being direct on how you help improve the customer journey, right? The third, the third shift was around conversion, so transparency is non negotiable, because fact checking is now effortless for customers. The fourth one is around loyalty, so focus on recognition and deep personalization and continuously improve the customer journey, right? And the last one is about post sales. So this stage is vital also for your long term credibility and reputation, right? So it’s not just important to help you know in terms of like, the customer conducting a purchase, but it’s also important to like, see what happens post sale or post stage, post purchase, right? In terms of like, how can, how they can get support if they have problems or questions, right? So these are very important key shifts that they highlighted, and that was a very interesting panel and conversation around that. So my time at the DX3 conference made it clear that while the tools such as AI are changing, the core mission of all retail remains about building trust, meeting unmet needs and bringing the human element back into our interactions with customers.

Long-term relationships often come with recurring challenges that don't fully resolve, no matter how many times you revisit them. In this episode, we open up about the patterns that keep resurfacing in our own relationships and what it looks like to navigate those tensions with more awareness and intention. From communication differences to division of responsibilities, we share how we're learning to approach these sticking points differently, including adjusting expectations, asking for what we need, and recognizing when support might need to come from outside the partnership.Differences between verbal processing and internal processing in communication.Navigating humor versus emotional support in sensitive moments.The tendency for partners to jump into problem-solving mode.Identifying when to lean on friends or therapists for deeper support.Perceived imbalance in household and family responsibilities.The role of recognition and appreciation in partnerships.Gaining perspective through shared experiences and role reversal.The added strain of parenting a child with special needs on a relationship.LINKS AND RESOURCES:Listen to Episode #333: Our Holy Grail Advice for Relationships : https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/333-our-holy-grail-advice-for-relationships/id1489878793?i=1000761069923HERSELF AMAZON STOREFRONT: https://amzlink.to/az0BrkLl5pX9u BETTERHELP: 10% off first month at: http://betterhelp.com/herselfLet's connect!HERSELF INSTAGRAM: http://instagram.com/herselfpodcastMEET AMY: http://instagram.com/ameskieferMEET ABBY: http://instagram.com/abbyrosegreenThis episode was brought to you by the Pivot Ball Change Network.
In this compelling installment of the Sunday Interview, host Brad Onishi engages in a deep-dive conversation with Dr. Tiffany Townsend, a distinguished psychologist and former Chief Diversity Officer, to discuss her timely new book, Weathering the Storm: Navigating the Anti-Social Justice Wave. The episode traces the trajectory of American DEI efforts from the "radical hope" sparked by Barack Obama's election to the current systemic dismantling of equity initiatives across the country. Dr. Townsend offers a masterclass in historical context, drawing striking parallels between modern anti-DEI legislation and the "Redemption Playbook" used to roll back civil rights gains following Reconstruction. By reframing DEI as an effort to expand the table rather than limit it, she provides a necessary correction to the weaponized narratives currently dominating the cultural landscape. Beyond the political analysis, the discussion delves into the psychological toll of navigating spaces where tokenism and stereotypes—which Dr. Townsend famously likens to inescapable "cigarette smoke in a bar"—persist. The conversation moves from the macro-level of institutional violence and intimidation to the micro-level of personal healing, emphasizing that collective solidarity is the only true antidote to depletion. Dr. Townsend concludes with a powerful definition of "Radical Hope": a grounded, strategic persistence that acknowledges the severity of the current storm while drawing strength from the community and history. This episode is an essential toolkit for anyone looking to move past "checking boxes" toward building genuinely inclusive spaces that can withstand the current political climate.

Navigating Dog Show Economics and Governance with Pam Mandeville [caption id="attachment_15667" align="alignleft" width="398"] Pam Mandeville showing one of her homebred Soft Coated Wheaten Terriers.[/caption] Host Laura Reeves is joined by corporate expert Pam Mandeville to discuss dog show economics, AKC reforms and why getting involved in kennel club governance is just as crucial as US politics for the future of purebred dogs. Pam Mandeville brings a deeply unique perspective to our sport. Pam is a Georgetown lawyer and MBA graduate who spent years as an AKC project manager and in corporate America, plus she's bred and owner-handled dozens of Soft-Coated Wheaton Terriers. She brings her real-world business experience to give us a reality check on the sport we love. Pam walks us through the true economic realities of dog shows, pointing out that having the disposable income to show dogs actually puts us in the top one percent of the country. Instead of expecting average America to pour money into massive dog shows, Pam suggests we embrace our status as a "niche sport." “We don't have to be massive,” Pam said. “We can be a high-quality "jewel" by supporting smaller, more accessible shows.” Pam digs into the numbers behind AKC registrations and event entries, questioning whether the boom in companion events is actually bringing in new people or just giving our current exhibitors more titles to earn with their dogs. Because AKC is a representative government, Pam and Laura also brainstorm ways to drag it kicking and screaming into the 21st century. They hash through structural reforms like professionalizing the board of directors with outside business experts, ending absentee delegates, and creating regional delegate Zoom meetings so small grassroots clubs aren't priced out of having a voice. “Years ago, a friend told me something that has resonated ever since: the American Kennel Club is government and Pure Dog Talk is small business,” Laura said. “I cannot emphasize this enough, y'all—just like our own government in the United States, being a responsible member of the purebred dog community means knowing how our AKC government works and actively participating in it. Civic awareness and taking action applies to the AKC just as much as it does to US politics and the Constitution. Rights and responsibilities are two sides of the same coin!” Join your local or parent club, communicate with your delegates and register every single puppy in your litters to support the organization. We are the core constituency, and it is up to us to protect the future of the dogs.

In this episode, Travis is joined by Eric for a deep-dive conversation into one of the most controversial topics in tech today: AI and intellectual property. Rather than featuring a traditional guest, this episode unpacks a major lawsuit involving a massive YouTube creator and explores what it means for creators, capitalism, and the future of content. With a mix of humor, skepticism, and real concern, Travis and Eric break down complex legal and ethical issues in a way that's both engaging and thought-provoking. On this episode we talk about: A major class action lawsuit against AI companies for scraping YouTube content How AI models are trained using creator content without consent or compensation The legal gray areas around “free” content on platforms like YouTube Ethical concerns around generative AI replacing human creators Real-world examples of AI in media, including controversial uses in film Top 3 Takeaways AI is currently operating in a legal “Wild West,” and lawsuits like this will likely shape future rules around content ownership and compensation. There's a major ethical distinction between opt-in AI training (with compensation) and unauthorized scraping of creator content. Generative AI poses a real threat to creators by potentially replacing original work with derivative, machine-generated content. Notable Quotes "It's basically a professional copyright infringement machine." "You'd think the last thing robots would take from us is our creativity—but here we are." "If you have to rotate IP addresses to do it, you probably know it's shady."

Navigating the New Normal in Distressed Real EstateWelcome back to another essential update for real estate investors, note buyers, and market watchers! We are officially in Q2 of 2026, and the landscape of distressed property is shifting rapidly. In this episode, we dive deep into the latest data from the Texas foreclosure auctions and broader national trends. Is the market entering a crisis, or are we simply returning to pre-pandemic normalization? Whether you are looking for residential opportunities in Harris County or commercial assets in North Texas, this episode provides the data-backed roadmap you need to stay ahead of the curve.National Trends & Q1 Market DataWe kick things off by breaking down the latest quarterly report from Auction.com, featuring insights from industry expert Darren Blomquist. Across the USA, we are seeing a significant return to 2020 levels of market stress.National Volume Spike: Foreclosure auction volume increased 33% in 2026, reaching a six-year high.Widespread Distress: 44 states and the District of Columbia reported annual increases in foreclosure volume.Normalization vs. Crisis: While volume is up, the data suggests a steady "normalization" to pre-pandemic levels rather than a sudden market crash.Equity Erosion: Average equity for scheduled foreclosures has declined to 26.9%—a 13% drop year-over-year—driven by cooling property values.The REO Shift: Banks are increasingly taking properties back at auction and listing them as REOs on digital platforms at "market-attuned" pricing.The Texas Lone Star Update: May 2026As one of the leading foreclosure states in the country, Texas is seeing a fascinating month-over-month shift. We break down the residential and commercial filings for May:The Monthly Drop: Despite an annual upward trend, May saw 3,774 filings—a 20% decrease from April.Commercial Snapshot: There are 456 commercial filings across Texas this month, with North Texas (DFW area) leading the charge at 144 filings.County Breakdown:Harris County: Remains a powerhouse with 698 residential filings.Bexar County: Holding steady with 397 filings.Dallas & Tarrant: Seeing slight month-over-month declines but still high-volume markets.The "Zero" List: Notably, Fort Bend and Montgomery counties showed zero scheduled foreclosures in the reported data for this specific period.Strategies for InvestorsWe also discuss how to capitalize on these trends, including a recap of our session with Texas legend Arnie Abramson on making money at tax sales. Learn why buyers are currently paying roughly 67 cents on the dollar for auction assets and how "bid-ask spreads" are narrowing as sellers adjust to sluggish conditions.Conclusion: Take Action in the Distressed MarketThe numbers don't lie—the foreclosure supply is rebuilding, and the opportunities for prepared investors are growing. Don't wait for the competition to catch up. Use the resources mentioned in today's show, like Roddy's List and Foreclosure.com, to do your due diligence and start bidding with confidence.

What if uncertainty wasn’t something to dread, but something we’re meant to live inside? In this episode, Danielle sits down with Paralympian Amy Purdy, whose life changed overnight at age 19 after losing both of her legs to bacterial meningitis. What followed wasn’t just a story of resilience, it was a complete redefinition of identity, possibility, and what it means to move forward.

"When I find myself going back to that reactivity mode or older way of thinking, I have to step back and ask, 'What do I really want?'" In this episode, Heather and Alexis Dean explore what it really means to take ownership of your ambition, your emotional world, and the desires you keep pushing aside. The things that irritate or trigger you aren't random; they're signals pointing directly to where you're being asked to grow. This conversation challenges the instinct to blame, label, or control, and instead invites you into a deeper level of self-responsibility, curiosity, and intention. Because when you stop outsourcing your discomfort and start listening to it, you unlock a completely different way of leading your life, your work, and your relationships. What to listen for: ☑️ The things that piss you off are a guide around where you need to do more work ☑️ Women need to feed their ambitions so they don't end up resentful and angry ☑️ Using curiosity to uncover where you're holding yourself back "If you're the one who has the pull and the desire to move a vision forward, and that's your natural gift, it's on you to accept and to lean into it. My resentment was actually me trying to blame somebody else for my own emotional discomfort." ☑️ Discerning between "hard" and emotionally uncomfortable actions ☑️ Operating from a collaborative lens rather than controlling others ☑️ Living your life intentionally instead of following gender norms "It's fine if you want to follow gender norms. The challenge is when people don't actually press pause and examine, 'Is this serving us? Is this how we want to lead our lives and live and work and everything else?'" ☑️ Why using labels is often just a way to avoid feeling our emotions ☑️ Navigating societal norms as a new mother who also runs a business ☑️ What can you do today to create more space and time flexibility? *** About Alexis Dean: For more than two decades, Alexis Dean has helped leaders build teams rooted in trust, accountability, and emotional courage. She believes that good people don't automatically create strong cultures, intentional leadership does. As the founder of Two Roads Training & Team Building, Alexis works with executive teams to help them build high-trust environments where performance and humanity can coexist. She's known for making the conversations most people avoid feel practical, doable, and transformative. Alexis is also the founder of The Dovetail Community, a mastermind and retreat experience for women leading 7- to 9-figure companies who want growth without losing themselves in the process. Alexis's work isn't just about boardrooms, it's about what happens at home, too. She believes women are often leading their families emotionally, strategically, and logistically, whether or not anyone names it that way. In a culture that still questions women's authority, stepping fully into leadership, at work and at home, requires clarity, boundaries, and a willingness to be misunderstood.

Navigating Iran's Fractured Leadership: Iran's leadership is currently a faceless structure of five major figures, following the supreme leader's absence. This complicates diplomacy because no single person has decisive say.

Why does "having it all" feel so much harder than it sounds? In this episode, Rukiya Ross breaks down the real challenges working moms face balancing career, ambition, and motherhood. In this episode of Dreams In Drive, Rana Campbell sits down with operations executive, podcast host, and mom of two Rukiya Ross for an honest conversation about what it really looks like to pursue ambition while navigating motherhood. As Head of Operations at inquirED and co-host of Moms Who Pause, Rukiya helps women rethink how they approach career growth, childcare, and building a life that actually works. In this conversation, she shares how becoming a mother reshaped her relationship with ambition, success, and self-worth—and why so many working moms struggle silently with the pressure to "do it all." Together, Rana and Rukiya unpack the emotional and logistical realities of balancing motherhood and career, from managing the mental load and childcare decisions to navigating guilt, boundaries, and burnout. If you're a working mom trying to pursue your goals without losing yourself in the process, this episode will remind you that ambition doesn't disappear after motherhood—it just requires a new strategy. In This Episode, We Discuss: Why motherhood changes your relationship with ambition The emotional reality of balancing career and family How to make confident childcare decisions without guilt The invisible mental load working moms carry Why so many ambitious women struggle after becoming mothers How to redefine success for your current season of life The importance of building systems that support your family and career Navigating burnout, boundaries, and identity after kids How intentional pauses can help women make better life decisions Why "having it all" may require redefining what "all" means Key Takeaway Motherhood doesn't make you less ambitious. It forces you to become more intentional about where your ambition goes. FIND RUKIYA ON: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/rukiyaross Instagram: http://www.instagram/momswhopause
The global order that shaped the past several decades is giving way to a more fragmented and uncertain world. Long-standing alliances are under strain, economic integration is giving way to competition, and geopolitical risk is once again a central driver of markets and policy. These shifts are not abstract. They are reshaping trade flows, disrupting supply chains, and contributing to volatility in energy markets and the broader economy—affecting everything from fuel prices to the cost of goods. So, how might great power competition, geopolitical fragmentation, artificial intelligence, and global instability redefine the international landscape? And what will that mean for policymakers, businesses, and the global energy system? This week's episode features a fireside chat between Jason Bordoff and Ian Bremmer from the Columbia Global Energy Summit 2026, which was hosted by the Center on Global Energy Policy at Columbia University SIPA and recorded earlier today. Jason and Ian examine the Iran crisis, the Islamabad talks, and the shifting dynamics of the Gulf region. They also address the "myth" of sovereign AI, China's strategy, and the deep structural concerns of global CEOs navigating today's volatility. Ian Bremmer is the president and founder of Eurasia Group, a geopolitical risk advisory firm, and GZERO Media, a digital media company providing coverage of international affairs. He is the author of eleven books, including his latest work, The Power of Crisis: How Three Threats—and Our Response—Will Change the World. Ian also teaches at Columbia University's School of International and Public Affairs. Credits: Hosted by Jason Bordoff and Bill Loveless. Produced by Mary Catherine O'Connor, Caroline Pitman, and Kyu Lee. Engineering by Gregory Vilfranc.
This week on ShrinkChicks, Em and Jen talk about navigating the “what am I doing with my life” era, those moments when your path, career, or identity no longer feels as clear as it once did. Whether it's a career pivot, life transition, or just a general sense of uncertainty, this stage can bring up doubt, anxiety, and a lot of second-guessing.They explore the difference between burnout and being in the wrong career, how the sunk-cost fallacy keeps people stuck, and why feeling lost in the middle of something is more common than we think. Listener questions cover career changes, grad school panic, losing motivation after major life shifts like having kids, and the pressure to find a “passion.”The conversation also gets into imposter syndrome in adulthood, trusting yourself versus being in denial, and how to make decisions when you don't feel 100% certain.Tune in to gain insight, awareness, and action!
