Podcasts about navigating change

In today's episode, I sit down with Sarah Newberry Moore, a U.S. Olympian in Sailing, for an honest conversation about navigating change, both in sport and in life. We talk about what it means to evolve as an athlete and a human, especially when identity, goals, and capacity shift over time.   Sarah shares her experiences with growth, self-awareness, and learning to listen more closely to her body and intuition. We explore the tension many athletes feel between pushing forward and pulling back, and how redefining success can open the door to more sustainable, fulfilling performance. This episode highlights the importance of adaptability, self-trust, and letting go of rigid expectations in favor of long-term health and alignment.   This conversation is for anyone who's in a season of transition, whether that's stepping into a new role, rethinking their relationship with training, or simply trying to find steadiness amid change. It's a reminder that progress doesn't always look linear, and that practicing brave often means allowing yourself to grow into the next version of who you are.   Connect with Sarah:

Here's the thing nobody tells you: the way you order at a restaurant says A LOT about how you move through life.Are you the person who waits to hear what everyone else is getting before you decide?

We need to talk.In this episode, I sit down with Jillian Reilly, author of Ten Permissions: How to Stop Waiting and Start Living, to talk about why so many of us can't make the smallest choices for ourselves, and what that says about the bigger life we're (not) living.We dig into:Why approval-seeking starts at lunch and ends with your whole identityThe terror of wanting something no one else validatesHow to build choice-making muscles before you blow up your lifeWhy pleasure isn't selfish (and might be the most strategic thing you can practice)What happens when the old rules stop working, and there's no new manualThis conversation is for the overthinkers, the people-pleasers, the ones who've spent decades being "good" and are now sitting in the rubble of what that actually got them.About Jillian ReillyJillian Reilly is a founder, author, and keynote speaker.

SummaryIn this conversation, Shannon Valenzuela and Joseph Tabenkin explore the intersection of classical education and modern learning tools, particularly in the realm of astronomy. They discuss the importance of maintaining friction in the learning process, the value of a beginner's mindset, and the need for accessible educational resources. Joseph shares his journey in creating 'Tracing the Sky' to make astronomy more approachable for teachers and students alike. The dialogue emphasizes the formative nature of education, the challenges faced by educators, and the significance of fostering confidence in teaching science. Ultimately, they advocate for a liberal arts perspective that encourages curiosity and engagement with the world.Topics Covered:The role of modern technology and tools in a classical contextThe importance of the beginner's mindset in teachingAstronomy as a training ground for the imagination, modeling, and understanding changeThe power of the story of scientific discovery to inspire wonderClassical education, technology, and navigating a rapidly changing worldToday's Guest:Joseph Tabenkin is an entrepreneur focused on creating tools and resources for educators. He has previously developed learning programs such as Let's Diagram and Read With Me, and was a Junior Fellow at the Boethius Institute, where he explored classical approaches to knowledge and education.

On this thought-provoking episode of the Stuck In My Mind Podcast titled “The CFO Whisperer on Authentic Leadership and Navigating Change in High Stakes Environments,” host Wize El Jefe sits down with renowned leadership advisor Kenneth Merritt, a figure known for guiding CFOs and financial executives through the complexities of transformation, growth, and leadership for nearly three decades. The conversation takes listeners far beyond the usual leadership buzzwords, tackling the realities of authentic connection, adaptability, and the evolving demands placed on executives in today's business climate. From the first moments, listeners are invited to think deeply about what it truly means to lead—not just in theory, but in the kinetic, unpredictable markets that define our era. Kenneth Merritt shares candidly about the pivotal moments in his career that shattered his early notions about traditional leadership playbooks. He recounts witnessing layoffs early in his career, serving as a wake-up call about the volatility of the corporate world and the importance of agility. Further, mergers, acquisitions, and shifting economic conditions taught him that leadership is less about static rules and more about reading and meeting the moment, no matter the cost. As the conversation unfolds, Wize El Jefe draws out Kenneth Merritt's insights on what truly shapes a leader. It's not just technical prowess or knowing the right answer; it's about understanding people, building trust, and fostering authentic relationships. Especially for financial leaders, this means going beyond the spreadsheets and transactions to become a trusted advisor and a catalyst for change. Kenneth Merritt emphasizes that trust and relationship-building only become more critical the higher one rises on the corporate ladder. The ability to guide others depends heavily on interpersonal skills, transparency, and the readiness to bring people along—even when decisions are tough or unpopular. Listeners will appreciate Kenneth Merritt's vulnerability as he shares mistakes he made early on. He admits to once believing that having the “right answer” was enough, only to later realize the necessity of persuasion, empathy, and selling a vision. Leadership requires buy-in, not just intellectual correctness. In practical terms, Kenneth Merritt describes his leadership identity as embodying “gravitas”—the balance between confidence, capability, and understanding of expectations. He shares that gravitas isn't innate or automatic; it's developed through self-awareness, continual learning, and alignment between what a situation demands and what a leader can deliver. The episode dives deeply into the realities of the AI-driven world and the future of work. Kenneth Merritt and Wize El Jefe discuss how executives often remain behind the curve, not because of technology itself but due to a disconnect between AI providers, decision makers, and those who use the technology daily. The lesson: leaders must continually ask questions, demand real-world utility, and integrate AI as a tool—rather than as a buzzword or afterthought. Offering a blueprint for transformational leadership, Kenneth Merritt outlines three essential behaviors: acceptance of necessary change, clear definition of target outcomes, and the assembling of high-caliber teams, tools, and processes. In his view, change isn't incremental, but quantum—requiring leaders to genuinely step outside comfort zones. Authenticity, particularly in finance, is examined in a fresh light. Kenneth Merritt breaks down relationship-building into three types of conversations: sharing the story of performance, candidly communicating risks and failures, and, most importantly, forging real, everyday connections that promote a sense of partnership well beyond financial analysis. These subtle, human actions form the bedrock of trust in environments where skepticism and caution typically reign. The episode also tackles the future of finance and executive leadership. Kenneth Merritt predicts volatility and rapid change will only escalate in coming years, requiring finance professionals to develop agile teams and systems capable of handling shifting economies, competitive pressures, and constant disruption. The wisdom here is clear—resilience and adaptation are no longer optional, but essential parts of an executive's toolkit. Personal growth and wellness get heartfelt attention in the latter half of the conversation. Both Wize El Jefe and Kenneth Merritt share their own journeys of health, mindset, and spirituality, underlining how well-being and professional success are irrevocably intertwined. The advice is straightforward: personal alignment, whether physical, mental, or spiritual, empowers leaders to show up at their best, at work and in life. For those aspiring to executive leadership, Kenneth Merritt shares concrete guidance. Performance is paramount, but so is a commitment to ongoing learning. He cautions against stagnation and advises leaders to treat their growth like building physical strength—exercising new skills daily, honing executive presence, and cultivating gravitas over time. Finally, Kenneth Merritt reflects on the legacy he's building through Merit Advisory Group—a commitment to value creation, partnership, and leaving clients and colleagues in a better place than before. He champions the power of relationships, continuous development, and giving back, both professionally and personally. This episode is a must-listen for leaders at any level, especially those navigating change, seeking authentic impact, or planning for the unpredictable future. It offers practical advice, real-world stories, and a call to embrace the human side of business, all while reminding us that true leadership involves leading oneself first. Tune in for expert wisdom, personal stories, and actionable insights on how to future-proof your leadership, build trust, and drive meaningful change—inside and outside the boardroom.

New tax laws are on the horizon—and they could significantly influence the way you give. The recently passed One Big, Beautiful Bill Act (often shortened to the OBBBA) introduces several changes that affect charitable givers today and in the years to come. To help unpack these shifts, we sat down with Bruce McKee, attorney and Senior Vice President of Complex Gifts at the National Christian Foundation (NCF).What the OBBBA Actually DoesDespite its cheerful name, the OBBBA carries serious implications for donors. Bruce explains that the bill makes permanent many provisions that were originally scheduled to expire at the end of 2025 under the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. Key extensions include:Higher standard deductionsHigher estate tax exclusionsNew deduction floors for charitable giftsA new limit on itemized deductionsExtended business deductionsUpdated rules for university endowment taxesThese changes will affect different givers differently, but nearly everyone will feel the impact of the new standard deduction.The Standard Deduction Gets Bigger—AgainThis update alone affects roughly 90% of taxpayers.The OBBBA permanently extends the increased standard deduction and even boosts it for the 2025 tax year:Individuals: $15,750Married couples filing jointly: $31,500Because the standard deduction is now higher, fewer people will itemize. And when giving is lumped under the standard deduction, charitable gifts are no longer deductible.But there's a powerful workaround.If you want to maximize your tax benefits while maintaining your giving rhythms, “bunching” can help. Bunching means:Grouping several years' worth of charitable gifts into a single tax yearItemizing in that year, instead of taking the standard deductionUsing a donor-advised fund (DAF)—such as an NCF Giving Fund—to distribute gifts gradually over future yearsA giving fund works like a charitable checking account—a powerful tool for strategic, tax-efficient generosity. Bunching is especially impactful when paired with gifts of appreciated assets.New Charitable Deduction Floors Coming in 2026Beginning in 2026, charitable deductions will include a “floor”—a small portion of giving that won't be deductible at all.For IndividualsOnly the amount of charitable giving above 0.5% of your Adjusted Gross Income (AGI) will be deductible. Here's an example:AGI = $200,0000.5% floor = $1,000Whether you give $20,000 or $40,000, the first $1,000 is not deductible.For CorporationsA similar rule applies, but the floor is 1% of taxable income.Why This MattersThis floor means that givers with large AGIs—especially in high-income years—should consider giving earlier, before 2026 arrives. Strategic timing will matter more than ever.Even high-capacity donors who itemize may benefit from bunching in alternating years.New Limits on Itemized DeductionsThe OBBBA also introduces a “haircut” affecting all itemized deductions—not just charitable ones.Because the highest tax bracket (37%) is now permanent, itemized deductions typically reduce income taxed at that rate. But beginning in 2026:Deductions in the highest bracket will be valued at 35 cents per dollar, not 37.It's a relatively small shift, but it slightly increases tax liability and adds another layer of planning complexity. Once again, Bruce recommends intentionally reviewing giving strategies before the 2025 year closes.Estate and Gift Tax Exclusions: Higher and More StableThe OBBBA also stabilizes estate planning by raising the estate and gift tax exemption to:$15 million per individual$30 million for married couplesThese thresholds—once set to sunset back to near half—are now permanent (as permanent as tax law can be). This gives families greater clarity as they plan inheritances and consider charitable tools like trusts or family foundations.When people settle their estate planning, it often helps them focus their hearts on where God is calling them to give—what Ron Blue usually describes as “giving while you're living so you're knowing where it's going.”Good News for Non-Itemizers: The Above-the-Line Charitable Deduction ReturnsBeginning soon, non-itemizers will be able to deduct modest charitable amounts:$1,000 for individuals$2,000 for married couples filing jointlyThis applies to cash gifts made to churches and public charities.
