What can a world chess champion teach us about the future of work? More than you think. Just like Magnus Carlsen challenged convention to become the greatest player in history, leaders today need to rethink everything about how we work, lead, and build organizations. This episode explores why challenging convention is no longer optional. We unpack the five trends reshaping work—new employee behaviors, exponential technology growth, a millennial-majority workforce, mobility, and globalization—and why clinging to outdated assumptions is a losing strategy. From redefining what it means to be a manager or employee to understanding the Josh's of the world who thrive without traditional paths, we learn that the future belongs to leaders who aren't afraid to question norms, rethink structure, and design organizations people actually want to be part of. ________________ Start your day with the world's top leaders by joining thousands of others at Great Leadership on Substack.

In this episode, Julie discusses with Savannah the topic of the importance of biological CIS-female friends for gender-expansive people. The conversation starts with insecurities from trolling negative comments playing a key part in taking down a social media post about the topic, followed by a multi-faceted conversation in-air about the sense of safety and belonging that biological female friends provide that sometimes cannot be matched in friend groups anywhere else!-----SAVANNAH HAUK is the author of “Living with Crossdressing: Defining a New Normal” and “Living with Crossdressing: Discovering your True Identity“. While both focus on the male-to-female (mtf) crossdresser, “Defining a New Normal” delves into crossdressing and relationships and “Discovering Your True Identity” looks at the individual crossdressing journey. Her latest achievements are two TEDx Talks, one entitled "Demystifying the Crossdressing Experience" and the other "13 Milliseconds: First Impressions of Gender Expression". Savannah is a male-to-female dual-gender crossdresser who is visible in the Upstate of South Carolina, active in local groups and advocating as a public speaker at LGBTQ+ conferences and workshops across the United States. At the moment, Savannah is working on more books, blogs, and projects focused on letting every crossdresser–young and mature–find their own confidence, expression, identity and voice.IG @savannahhauk | FB @savannahhauk | FB @livingwithcrossdressing | web @livingwithcrossdressing.com------JULIE RUBENSTEIN is a dedicated ally to transgender community and the certified image consultant and co-owner of Fox and Hanger.

Treatments like cell and gene therapies (CGTs) and GLP-1s are transforming care, but with double-digit growth in drug spend year over year, this transformation comes with an unsustainable price tag. And it's putting pressure on every part of the healthcare ecosystem, from patients and providers to employers and health plans. The strategies that purchasers have used to manage drug spend in the past are no longer getting the job done. But when our Advisory Board experts set out to find the innovators creating new ways to rein in spend, they came up empty. Purchasers appear to be stuck in a “wait and see” pattern—but no silver bullets are coming. This week, host Abby Burns invites Advisory Board experts Chloe Bakst, Aaron Hill, and Amanda Okaka to discuss the drivers behind rising drug costs and why traditional cost-saving strategies are falling short. They provide actionable guidance on how purchasers and plans can modernize their approach to utilization management and make moves toward integrating pharmacy and medical benefits in order to manage total cost of care—in other words, move toward value. What You'll Learn in This Episode: Why drug spend is rising unsustainably Why the current efforts to improve drug affordability are helping, but not enough What it would look like to bring traditional strategies to manage spend into the 2020s What's on the horizon: the move toward tying drug spend to value We're here to help: How purchasers are tackling the affordability crisis of high-cost drugs 4 ways pharma can improve partnerships for cell and gene therapy delivery Cell and gene therapy programs: How to launch, optimize, and deliver CGTs sustainably Health Technology Pipeline (HTP) Survey insights: What to know about the clinician workforce today A transcript of this episode as well as more information and resources can be found on RadioAdvisory.advisory.com.

In today's Cloud Wars Minute, I analyze the recent Microsoft layoffs.Highlights00:14 — It's an ugly part of the free-market capitalism world, but what is inevitable in some ways — is layoffs. In the first six months of this year, Microsoft has laid off 15,000 people. I think we need to look at this as part of the new normal. It's an unfortunate consequence of the AI revolution and the incredible benefits and growth that it's going to drive.01:08 — I think we've seen a lot of people say, “Oh, here it comes, AI is displacing people.” These big companies are going to try to cut costs. They're trying to reduce expenses. I think here, the focus isn't on cutting costs, saving money, and dumping people, but rather on: Can we be prepared as quickly as possible for a very, very different future?02:12 — And that's what this AI revolution is going to bring. I think Nadella is trying very hard here to ensure that they've got their entire workforce aligned on growth opportunities for the future and all the changes that the AI revolution is going to bring to Microsoft's customers, rather than, you know, piddling around with, “How do we save a couple bucks here and there?”03:03 — Every process is ultimately going to be affected by this. It's going to change how companies think, how they work, how they operate, what their processes are, how they grow, how they make money. Any company that wants to stay in business is going to realign its workforce to match up with those new opportunities. That's what I believe Microsoft is doing.04:27 — I think we're going to see that across every industry, every region of the world. One of the outcomes is that we'll see some people moved around to new opportunities inside companies, but we're also going to see some people let go because they either don't have the backgrounds, the mindset, or whatever it might be, to match up with what their businesses need.

In this episode, Savannah shares with Julie the fact that her friends, when in town for the weekend, asked if all the male-to-female crossdressers in the room could be considered LARPers. Live Action Role Players embody fantasy and sci/fi characters of their own creation, coming together as a community to "live" out their fantasy realm in real life ... whether that be as a convention center, a city park, or at someone's residence. There are many contrasts and comparisons to the lives of cosplayers, crossplayers, LARPers, and gender expansion. At the end of the day, each allows the wearer of the identity to live more "out loud"!-----SAVANNAH HAUK is the author of “Living with Crossdressing: Defining a New Normal” and “Living with Crossdressing: Discovering your True Identity“.

In a candid and revealing interview, actress and model Margo Graff, the self-proclaimed "queen of receiving," shatters common misconceptions surrounding the sugar baby lifestyle in Los Angeles. The 33-year old receives upwards of $16,000 to $17,000 a month in allowances and lavish gifts (including a horse for her birthday), reframes profit-based dating not as a power imbalance, but as a path to empowerment and a "soft life" on her own terms. She boldly states, "I am a Maserati. I cost a lot to maintain," emphasizing her value and her unapologetic embrace of luxury.Graff's perspective challenges the stereotype of the financially dependent sugar baby with "daddy issues." Raised by a strong, providing father, she was instilled with an appreciation for traditional gender roles, influencing her desire for a partner who can provide and protect. Despite working five jobs and owning multiple properties and trust funds, Graff finds that even her significant income isn't enough to cover the exorbitant cost of living in Los Angeles. For her, the sugar baby label is a strategic means to fund her ambitious lifestyle and achieve her entrepreneurial goals.A significant portion of her personal investment has been directed towards her acting career. She explains, "I've put so much money into my acting career, thinking it would pay it back to me."This suggests a professional history within the entertainment industry where she has invested both time and financial resources, indicating a serious commitment to her craft. This experience likely contributes to her self-assured demeanor and her ability to articulate her worth in the demanding Los Angeles environment.Graff's approach to finding "sugar daddies" is as deliberate as a job application, with a minimum net worth requirement of $10 million. She seeks connections in upscale venues and on dedicated websites, emphasizing that sexual encounters are not an immediate expectation. For Graff, the true "superpower" lies in the "art of receiving" and her ability to uplift and champion her partners, making them feel like "superheroes" while she herself operates as "Superwoman."

In this episode, Savannah asks Julie whether its fair that marginalized groups should need to hold themselves to a higher standard of empathy and social expectations in the face of a society that prefers to attack and marginalize those groups? In a just world, no — it is not fair.Marginalized groups should not have to hold themselves to a higher standard of empathy or moral behavior than those who hold power or privilege. The expectation that oppressed people must be kinder, more understanding, or more patient than their oppressors is rooted in systemic inequality itself. It's an unfair double standard — one that demands emotional labor and restraint from those already burdened with discrimination, violence, and exclusion.But in practice, many marginalized individuals feel compelled to do exactly that — to hold themselves to a higher standard — as a means of survival, resistance, or advocacy.-----SAVANNAH HAUK is the author of “Living with Crossdressing: Defining a New Normal” and “Living with Crossdressing: Discovering your True Identity“.

The pandemic lockdown was five years ago, and Carol recalls that when everything stopped people were talking about getting back to a new normal. Now, it seems that the religious or spiritual lives of many have not resumed. Rev. Bill observes that when we're faced with a new challenge we can respond in a new way, or try to keep doing what we've always done.Thank you for listening to the Practical Prayer podcast - please invite your friends to listen!There's more information about the podcast, and the classes and resources to bring Practical Prayer, more fully into your life at be-the-light.com.

You can be further ahead, but you only have to be one step ahead.” “You can't be a disciple maker if you're not a disciple first.” “You can't take people higher up in the mountain than you've been.” “Great leaders come in with nothing to hide, nothing to prove, nothing to lose.” “You only need to be one step ahead of the person you're coaching.” “Sometimes all it takes is a small shift in perspective to open up a whole new world.” “Athletes have coaches, but everyone else is just told to figure it out.” “We're all a puzzle piece in this giant puzzle … When we discover our identity and we're living in our purpose, then we are linking arms, yoked with the other pieces around us.” “If we want to go fast, we've got to go together.” “You think about something you buy and you're really excited about, and it almost immediately loses value.

tackles some of the most urgent and controversial issues shaping our world today—from the cutting edge of medical technology and the AI revolution to gender policy, cultural change, and the debate over reparations. Kicking off with a wild breakthrough in robotic heart transplants, the conversation quickly expands into the rapid-fire disruption of artificial intelligence, how deepfakes and digital mimicry are challenging reality, and why no one should expect the pace of change to slow down. The episode dives headlong into the Supreme Court's ruling on gender-affirming care, questions about the true legacy of feminism, and whether modern societies are undervaluing parenthood and family. With candid commentary on Chicago's reparations plan, the immigrant mindset, and the pitfalls of race-based policy, this episode asks the hard questions, highlights what's at stake, and offers a blueprint for thriving amid chaos and change. If you want to stay ahead of the curve—and challenge your own assumptions—don't miss this one.

In this episode, Julie shares with Savannah a recent client experience that highlighted the need for the trans-expansive partner to always remember their significant one while they, themselves, are going through their own journey of discovery.

Whether you've just been diagnosed or have been living with chronic illness for years, this conversation is for you.

Hear from Stephanie Race, Founder & CEO of Earth Analytics Group, as we dive into the connections between physical climate risk, the global food supply chain, and systemic financial risk. As climate impacts intensify - from wildfires to water scarcity - these risks are no longer distant. They're material, and they're here to stay. This is most evident in our food system, where disrupted crop yields, shifting growing regions, and stressed supply chains are becoming the new normal. That's why in this episode, we explore the vital and often overlooked links between climate change, food systems, and financial risk, including: How biophysical shocks like drought, fire, and flooding are cascading through supply chains and challenging economic stability; Why nature-based solutions are key to building real-world resilience - not just for farmers, but for the financial system as a whole; And how risk professionals can lead the transition by rethinking how we value, insure, and invest in a changing world.

In this episode, Julie and Savannah discuss a topic that a couple listeners and fans have been asking about ... autogynephilia. Popularized as a theory by Ray Blanchard in the 1980s and 1990s, this paraphilia is based on the idea that heterosexual transexuals want to transition to the female gender because they are aroused by the notion of being female. While this paraphilia persists even today, the concept that a person's sexuality and arousal are causation for gender transition is flawed and too simplistic to be realistic. Julie and Savannah strap in and give the topic their best effort!-----SAVANNAH HAUK is the author of “Living with Crossdressing: Defining a New Normal” and “Living with Crossdressing: Discovering your True Identity“.

Everyone who has heard the Father and learned from him comes to me. 46 No one has seen the Father except the one who is from God; only he has seen the Father. 47 Very truly I tell you, the one who believes has eternal life. 48 I am the bread of life. 49 Your ancestors ate the manna in the wilderness, yet they died. 50 But here is the bread that comes down from heaven, which anyone may eat and not die. 51 I am the living bread that came down from heaven. Whoever eats this bread will live forever. This bread is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.”52 Then the Jews began to argue sharply among themselves, “How can this man give us his flesh to eat?”53 Jesus said to them, “Very truly I tell you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you. 54 Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise them up at the last day. 55 For my flesh is real food and my blood is real drink. 56 Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me, and I in them. 57 Just as the living Father sent me and I live because of the Father, so the one who feeds on me will live because of me. 58 This is the bread that came down from heaven. Your ancestors ate manna and died, but whoever feeds on this bread will live forever.” 59 He said this while teaching in the synagogue in Capernaum.
