Forget the hyperscalers replacing tens of thousands of jobs. For manufacturers with 20 or 50 employees, AI isn't about cutting headcount, it's about finding ways to get ahead when you can't necessarily afford to scale your team. As Dr Richard Barnhouse, President and CEO of Waukesha County Technical College (WCTC) puts it: figure out the things you hate to do and apply AI to that. This episode was recorded live at WCTC's Applied AI Lab, featuring a roundtable with Dr Barnhouse, Amanda Payne from the Waukesha County Business Alliance, Guido Mazza from ITER IDEA, and Caleb Bryant, a student pivoting into AI after 20 years in lending. The panel explores how small manufacturers are practically applying AI today, from eliminating scheduling headaches to streamlining quoting and contracts.Guido shares how one plastic manufacturer eliminated internal conflict by letting an algorithm handle shift scheduling across dozens of constraints, while Amanda reveals that 50% of Waukesha County businesses are already adopting or strategizing around AI; and over 90% of them have 50 or fewer employees. Caleb delivers one of the episode's sharpest lines: AI doesn't steal jobs, it steals tasks.In this episode, find out:Why even free ice cream for life won't get buy-in, but removing a universal pain point willHow a plastic manufacturer used AI to manage dozens of scheduling constraints and avoid internal conflictThe three common reactions people have to AI and why two of them stem from the same root causeWhat Dr. Barnhouse warns about AI early-adopters when vetting consultants and programsWhy the real ROI on some AI projects isn't money saved, but conflict avoidedWhy manufacturers are mostly implementing AI on the office side (quoting, contracts, and legal documents) for nowThe intersection of robotics, humanoids, and quantum computing that's coming faster than most realizeEnjoying the show?

Think about your company's most repetitive or boring tasks and see if there's an AI solution that could be applicable. Then, you have to differentiate and decide what the benefits are between automation or an AI agent for those tasks.” - Guido Mazza“The easiest way to get started is identify a single pain point that everyone in the company can't stand, something so far down that not even the boss understands how it contributes to the bottom line. If you can mitigate that pain point, your team will understand how AI can help them focus on more important tasks.” - Dr Richard Barnhouse“There are usually three reactions to AI. People either embrace it, underestimate it or are intimidated by it. What AI does is breed creativity. And once you understand it a little bit more, you start to see all the different things it can be used for both in industry and your personal life.” - Caleb BryantLinks & mentions:Waukesha County Technical College, one of the region's leaders in workforce development, offering 170+ programs and customized employer training, including Wisconsin's first comprehensive AI training and a world-class Applied AI Lab.Waukesha County Business Alliance, a long-standing, member-driven organization advancing economic growth and strengthening the business environment in Waukesha County through advocacy, development, engagement, and growth.

When Your Team's Anxiety Is Actually the AnswerSeason 2 continues looking sideways — exploring frameworks that stretch Adaptive Leadership into new terrain.In this episode, Michael Koehler sits down with Dr. Candice Crawford-Zakian, a psychoanalytic psychologist and lecturer at the Harvard Graduate School of Education. Candice's work focuses on systems psychodynamics — a field that helps us see the hidden life of groups.The conversation explores what lies beneath the surface of organizational life: the unconscious patterns, projections, and anxieties that shape what happens in teams and organizations long before anyone names them.What's fascinating is that this work sits in the background of Adaptive Leadership itself. Systems psychodynamics was one of the practices that informed Ron Heifetz's early teaching — and it remains a place where many practitioners go to sharpen their ability to consult with groups in real time.This episode feels like stepping behind the curtain of Adaptive Leadership — into the terrain where authority, anxiety, and imagination meet.What You'll Explore in This Episode:What systems psychodynamics is — and why it mattersHow this field helps us understand the hidden, unconscious social elements in groups that are highly impactful but intangible. The dynamics that shape whether work actually gets done.When anxiety is data, not disruptionWhy the distress in a group — the tension, reactivity, and discomfort — isn't something to manage away, but vital information about what the group actually needs. Learning to read anxiety as a signal rather than a problem to solve.Group relations conferencesA unique learning experience where the content is the live experience of the group itself. No talks, no papers — just studying what emerges in real time as people navigate authority, roles, and group dynamics.Consulting without memory, intent, or desireA practice from Wilfred Bion about meeting groups with spaciousness and openness — not inserting your agenda or expectations, but listening for what the group actually needs in the moment.The intersection with Adaptive LeadershipHow systems psychodynamics deepens the practice of reading the "heat map" — understanding what the anxiety in a group is actually about, which tells you what the group needs. Anxiety isn't random noise; it's a compass pointing toward the adaptive challenge.Why this work matters nowThe origins of systems psychodynamics in studying authoritarian regimes and the Holocaust — and why these insights are resources for navigating the rise of authoritarianism today.The role of the consultant as instrumentHow practitioners open themselves as channels through which hidden, unconscious dynamics can surface and be named. When the group triggers you publicly, that's not about you — it's telling you how high the distress is in the system.Quotes from This Episode:"We're carrying all this stuff, and my stuff dances with your stuff dances with the third person, and it creates this whole thing in and of itself."— Dr. Candice Crawford-Zakian"These unseen forces are born from our individual histories, assumptions, and feelings, which merge to create a powerful collective dynamic that is highly impactful, but difficult to see."— Dr. Candice Crawford-Zakian"Everything is data. So if this group has found a way to trigger me in a way that actually makes me publicly reactive, that tells me that's how high the distress is. It is not about me."— Dr. Candice Crawford-Zakian"To lead effectively, we must learn to see these hidden dynamics not as personal attacks, but as vital data...

Many people are sensing an inner shift: feeling softer, more intuitive, more honest, or aware that parts of their life no longer fit.This episode explores why these early signs of spiritual awakening are increasing, what they mean psychologically and neurologically, and how they reflect a much larger collective transition toward meaning, coherence, and connection.We look at real-world moments where awakening begins:• the quiet burnout after years of coping• the heaviness after reading the news• the sudden awareness that you're living on autopilot• a growing desire for purpose, truth, or alignment• a sense that something in you is “rearranging”You'll hear how modern psychology, nervous system science, existential research, and meaning-making theory can help explain why this shift is happening — individually and globally — without bypassing or sensationalising the experience.We also explore the emerging collective movement toward spirituality as a framework for addressing the world's most urgent challenges, and why your personal awakening is part of that wider shift.If you're feeling disoriented, tender, or strangely clear… you're not losing your way. You're beginning to listen.In the episode, we explore:Why so many people are experiencing spiritual shifts right nowThe psychological and neurological signs of early awakeningWhy identity loosening is normal during transitionsHow collective strain is opening people to deeper questionsWhat this shift means for the future of culture, systems, and healingHow awakening creates personal and global coherenceDeepen your learning:The Science of Spirituality FREE micro-course - https://www.integratedwisdom.com.au/microcourseThe Signal Newsletter: https://www.integratedwisdom.com.au/Contact Tatiana:You can now send me your comments or questions, to hello@integratedwisdom.com.au or you can also find me on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/wisdomwithtatiana/Be sure to SHARE this episode to anyone you feel may be interested or benefit from this content.And please don't forget to hit SUBSCRIBE to keep up to date with our episodes and give us a RATING below. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Intro and Outro music: Inspiring Morning by PlaysoundDisclaimer: This podcast is intended for educational purposes only.

If your Instagram engagement has been trash lately — you're not imagining it.Reach is down across the board, everyone's frustrated, and the “post more” advice floating around isn't helping anyone.But here's the thing… one of my clients still managed to pull in over 40,000 views, 843 interactions, and 142 new followers in 30 days.No trends.No daily posting.No algorithm hacks.Just strategy.In this episode, I'm breaking down how we did it (and how you can start getting real results again) — without spending your entire life creating content or burning out trying to keep up with Instagram's latest chaos.
No Followers Needed: How to Build a Six-Figure UGC BusinessGuest: Megan Collier, Content Creator & UGC CoachHost: Julie RigaAbout This EpisodeJulie sits down with Megan Collier, who built a six-figure User Generated Content (UGC) business in just 14 months starting with only 200 followers. Megan now helps GenXers and Boomers launch successful UGC careers, and she's here to break down exactly how everyday people can get paid by brands without any influencer status.What is UGC?User Generated Content (UGC) is when creators get paid by brands to create short-form video content (typically 30-60 seconds) without posting to their own social media. Instead, brands use this authentic content for their own ads, emails, websites, and marketing channels.In This Episode, We Talk About:The three essential ingredients for UGC success (hint: talent isn't one of them)Why age is actually an asset in this industry, not a barrierHow Megan landed her first deal within 10 days and what she did to make it happenThe exact step-by-step process to get started, even if you've never created content beforeWhat equipment you actually need (spoiler: probably less than $50)Real student success stories, including a 52-year-old who made $11,500 in 63 daysHow to price your work so you're not leaving money on the tableWhy brands are desperately searching for GenX and Boomer creators right nowThe biggest mistakes new creators make and how to avoid themWhether UGC will survive in an AI and metaverse worldWhy This MattersIf you've ever thought "I'm too old for social media" or "I don't have enough followers to work with brands," this episode will completely change your perspective. Megan proves that the barrier to entry has never been lower, and the demand has never been higher.Who Should ListenGenXers and Baby Boomers looking for flexible incomeAnyone intimidated by traditional influencer marketingPeople seeking a side hustle with low upfront investmentAnyone who's ever wanted to work with brands but thought they needed thousands of followers firstGuest BackgroundMegan Collier discovered UGC in August 2022 while working full-time and needing a flexible side hustle. Within 14 months, she scaled her UGC business to replace her six-figure corporate income. Now she helps everyday people unlock this valuable income stream through her coaching platform.Connect with Megan CollierTikTok: @megan_ugcInstagram: @Megan_UGCWebsite: https://www.megancollierugc.comYou don't need followers, fancy equipment, or years of experience to start earning with UGC. You just need a willingness to learn, the confidence to know your worth, and the ability to have fun with it.

He's also a champion of sustainable development, having led UN work groups defining corporate metrics for Sustainable Development Goals.Spoiler alert: That knowledge you're protecting isn't as proprietary as you think—and hoarding it might be the very thing keeping you from growing.Tan reveals why learning at the speed of change is the only way to stay relevant, how upskilling existing employees delivers faster ROI than external hiring, and the three-pillar framework (education, engagement, exposure) that builds true competence. Plus, he shares the career-defining moment when a failed proposal taught him that content without communication means lost opportunities.What We Cover:The proposal that changed everything – How losing a client deal due to poor communication skills sparked Tan's transformation into a lifelong learner and eventually led him to share a stage with Steve BallmerWhy comfort zones are career killers – The counterintuitive move from a successful business role into corporate HR that everyone warned against, and why it opened doors Tan never imaginedThe three pillars of competence – Breaking down how knowledge, skills, and attitude combine through education, engagement, and exposure to create lasting workforce transformationLearning at the speed of change – Why continuous learning isn't about getting ahead anymore—it's about staying in the same place you are nowThe upskilling advantage over external hiring – How investing in people who already know your systems, culture, and ecosystem delivers immediate productivity versus the ramp-up time new hires requireWhy knowledge hoarding backfires – The fundamental truth that if you don't share what you know, someone else will—and why giving more means getting more in returnMentorship as a two-way street – How working with Gen Z employees (or any generation different from yours) creates peer-to-peer learning that benefits both sides equallyThe innovation power of different perspectives – Why surrounding yourself with people who think like you guarantees stagnation, and how diverse viewpoints spark breakthrough ideasBuilding elastic teams that bend without breaking – How creating learning ecosystems helps organizations adapt through pandemics, economic shifts, elections, and technological disruptionKey Quote: "You've got to learn at the speed of change for you to stay in the same place that you are, let alone to run." – Tan MoorthyConnect with Tan Moorthy: LinkedIn: Tan Moorthy Company: RevatureConnect with Traci here: https://linktr.ee/HRTraciDisclaimer: Thoughts, opinions, and statements made on this podcast are not a reflection of the thoughts, opinions, and statements of the Company by whom Traci Chernoff is actively employed.Please note that this episode may contain paid endorsements and advertisements for products or services.

This episode opens with a simple claim: love can be rational, love can lead, love can think clearly without letting the mind run the show.I walk you through the realities of ketamine recovery, the stigma that trails addiction, and the relief of real healing. I name the risks of the personal growth industry, why regulated care matters, and how offline time, books, and steady presence rebuild a nervous system.I share the moment the parts of my life clicked together, and how a cross-discipline voice emerged. Finance, psychotherapy, politics, tech, and the daily work of being human, held in one body. I speak about work, dignity, and the power structures that shape our days. I open a door to blockchain as a tool for more participation and less capture, distinct from the hype.We finish with a call to daily practice. Slow thought, local life, better questions, and a commitment to speak with soul.What you will hearKetamine recovery, shame culture, and what healing took in real timeWhy I stepped away from selling transformation, and what integrity looks like for me nowThe campaign trail, respectability pressure, and the appetite for powerful feminine presenceMoney, corporations, government, and the costs we carryBlockchain, beyond hype, as a possible path to more participatory governanceBooks over feeds, offline over trance, local over spectacleA closing reading from Terence McKenna on courage and the feather bedTimestamps00:18 Coming back at fifty05:20 Addiction, stigma, and recovery09:30 Sex-positive work and public life13:40 Holding all the parts, one voice17:30 Politics, action, and living with paradox21:28 Cross-discipline lens, money and meaning26:10 Blockchain, participation, and hope31:00 Daily publishing, books, and presence34:10 McKenna reading and closing prayerLinksHow I went from psychedelic facilitator to ketamine addiction in 2 months, Part 2Subscribe to Eros for Life on SubstackTo receive daily emails, open the publication settings and subscribe to “Eros for Life — Daily”Mentioned in this episode:Join Write Together November 2025

What if the deepest medicine you're seeking has been alive within you all along?In this week's Fire and Soul, I sit down with my dear sister Dr. Cass Naumann—doctor of Chinese medicine, ordained Daoist priestess, musician, and ceremonialist—for a profoundly moving conversation on the sacred alchemy of healing.Cass shares her remarkable journey from musician to healer, and how the initiations of grief, devotion, and spiritual cultivation shaped her path. We explore why ceremony matters so deeply in these times, how our bodies carry the keys to transformation, and what it means to activate our “inner pharmacy” of joy, presence, and connection.This is one of those deeply rich, heart-opening dialogues that feels like a ceremony in itself, and I'm so excited for you to experience it.

Hot Take: What if your purpose right now isn't to do more, achieve more, or figure out your next big career move? What if your actual purpose is learning how to receive?My business coach asked me what I'd do on a random Tuesday if I could do anything. My answer floored me: drink matcha, watch reality TV at noon, cook a real recipe with multiple steps, take a long shower, go to bed early. As I rattled these off, I panicked - where's my ambition? What happened to my drive?Then it hit me during a journal session. My nervous system wasn't broken - it was trying to show me my purpose right now. After months of giving, creating, strategizing, and pouring into everyone else, my soul was telling me: your job is to learn how to receive.In this episode:Why your purpose might be receiving instead of achieving right nowThe four ways to receive: physical (rest, nourishment, movement), mental (entertainment, learning for fun, silence), emotional (support, celebrating wins), and creative (making something with your hands, playing without purpose)How constantly saying "I've got it" blocks you from your actual purposeWhy receiving isn't evidence you're failing - it's evidence you're humanThe receiving day challenge that will reconnect you with what your soul actually needsThe purpose shift: We think purpose has to be this big, productive thing. But what if your purpose right now is modeling for your kids that adults deserve care too? What if it's showing the women around you that receiving support isn't weakness?Your end-of-day scrolling? That's your spirit trying to receive something - anything - that doesn't require you to prove you deserve it first.Maybe your purpose isn't another goal to crush. Maybe it's learning that you're worthy of receiving the same energy you pour into everyone else.Ready to explore what receiving could look like in YOUR life?
