With the rise of A.I. and hybrid work, there were concerns that demand for office space would weaken. In reality, return to office policies and a growing corporate footprint for some of the country's biggest companies has led to increased demand for office space and a drop in office vacancy rates. New buildings, those with the best amenities, and good locations are in the highest demand. And the industrial vacancy rate (think logistics plants and warehousing) has tightened-- dropping in the GTA to just 2.2%, the lowest in the country. Both are positive signs for the economy. In today's edition of In This Economy?! host Mike Eppel talks the future of office space in Toronto with Adam Jacobs, national head of research for Colliers Canada. Do you have a topic that's confounding you in this economy? We'll be happy to dig into it for you and get you the answers you need. Email us at: rogerspodcastnetwork@rci.rogers.com.

Any Given Sunday Review | Born to Watch PodcastOur Any Given Sunday Review takes the Born to Watch boys back to 1999 for Oliver Stone's chaotic, testosterone-fuelled dive into the world of professional football. Featuring Al Pacino, Jamie Foxx, Dennis Quaid and peak Cameron Diaz, Any Given Sunday promised everything a sports movie fan could want. But does it still hold up, or is this one all style and no substance?Whitey, Dan and special guest Will strap on the shoulder pads and revisit Oliver Stone's divisive NFL epic. What starts as a love letter to sports movies quickly turns into an examination of shaky cameras, over-the-top editing, giant egos and one of the most exhausting viewing experiences the boys have tackled in a while.Al Pacino brings his trademark intensity as veteran coach Tony D'Amato, desperately trying to hold together the Miami Sharks while battling a ruthless owner, rebellious players and a rapidly changing game. Jamie Foxx bursts onto the scene as Willie Beamen, the backup quarterback who suddenly becomes a superstar, while Dennis Quaid delivers a solid performance as ageing veteran Cap Rooney.Along the way, the boys discuss why Oliver Stone seems determined to assault your eyeballs with every editing trick imaginable. From subliminal gladiator imagery to frantic camera work and changing film stock, Whitey wonders whether the movie is trying too hard to be profound. Dan compares it to Natural Born Killers and argues that Stone's style overwhelms the actual story.The conversation naturally branches out into memories of 1999, drunken phone calls, encounters with Elizabeth Berkley, backup quarterbacks becoming heroes, and whether there is a more pressure-filled position in sport than an NFL quarterback.There's also plenty of appreciation for the stacked cast. James Woods shines as the dodgy doctor, LL Cool J delivers one of the biggest dickheads in sports movie history, and Lawrence Taylor proves real athletes can occasionally act. Meanwhile, Cameron Diaz splits the room, with Whitey refusing to give prime Diaz a quickfire vote despite the objections of everyone else.As always, the boys go deep into the IMDb ratings, box office numbers and critical reviews before throwing around comparisons to Varsity Blues, Office Space, American Beauty and other classics from the legendary year of 1999.But the biggest question remains. Is Any Given Sunday a genuine sports classic, or is it simply a two-and-a-half-hour migraine wrapped in slow motion and Kid Rock?One thing is certain. Whether they're discussing football strategy, Oliver Stone's obsession with gladiators or the horrors of professional athlete fashion, Whitey, Dan and Will once again prove that no movie is safe when it lands on Born to Watch.Join the TeamLove movies?

Stewart Alsop hosts a conversation with Oliver Polzin, a founding team member of Meow Wolf and naturalist, exploring the intersection of creativity, conservation, and architecture. Oliver discusses his current postgraduate work at SCI-Arc in Los Angeles studying synthetic landscapes through an architectural lens, his deep fascination with Pleistocene megafauna and the La Brea Tar Pits, and his vision for creating a "biophilic culture" that reframes humanity's relationship with other species and ecosystems. The discussion ranges from Oliver's early work building mud caves at Meow Wolf to his current explorations of AI-assisted design tools, 3D printing with recycled materials, holistic grazing management systems for the Great Plains, and the ancient Amazonian practice of creating terra preta soil—all part of his broader investigation into how we can design interventions for climate and conservation issues while maintaining what makes us fundamentally human.Timestamps00:00 Stewart introduces Oliver Polzin from Meow Wolf's founding team and discusses how his yoga teaching there inspired the podcast's exploration of creativity and stress relationships.05:00 Oliver describes his architecture graduate program studying climate and conservation through synthetic landscapes, contrasting dark green naturalist ecology with bright green capitalist environmentalism.10:00 Discussion of conservation ethics and AI's potential for monitoring environmental systems, with Oliver explaining his journey from painting to experimental mud construction at early Meow Wolf.15:00 Stewart shares his robotics learning journey with ESP32s in Buenos Aires while Oliver questions humanoid robot design, suggesting functional form factors matter more than human resemblance.20:00 Oliver explores cardboard as material obsession and explains treasure hunt mechanics in Meow Wolf exhibits, creating dopamine-driven discovery experiences through layered storytelling.25:00 Stewart describes creating treasure hunts for Spanish learners in Buenos Aires parks while Oliver validates experiential art's growing importance in an increasingly digital culture.30:00 Conversation shifts to three-d printing flexible filaments for architectural models and Oliver's megafauna book project about La Brea Tar Pits Pleistocene fossils.35:00 Oliver connects Earth consciousness to Pale Blue Dot perspective, arguing humans face developmental threshold understanding planetary responsibility after 300,000 years as anatomically modern species.40:00 Deep dive into end-Pleistocene extinction events and megafauna loss, discussing two-ton capybaras and how predator relationships shaped human psychology and anxiety responses.45:00 Oliver presents speculative Great Plains biopreserve concept with de-extinct megafauna, contrasting holistic rotational grazing with destructive monoculture agriculture systems.50:00 Discussion concludes with Amazonian dark earth technology and indigenous landscape management, emphasizing need for biophilic culture embracing deep time ecological perspective.Key Insights1. Oliver Polzin is part of the founding team of Meow Wolf and is currently studying at SCI-Arc in Downtown LA in a postgraduate program called Synthetic Landscapes, which examines global scale climate and conservation issues through an architectural lens. Architecture exists between art and science, and he believes architectural thinking offers a valuable framework for designing interventions for climate and conservation challenges. This program represents a significant evolution from his earlier work at Meow Wolf, where he created immersive experiential art installations using materials like adobe and cardboard.2. There is an important distinction in ecological thought between what Paul Kingsnorth calls dark green and light green approaches to environmentalism. The dark green strain represents the older naturalist movement from the early twentieth century, focusing on biological systems, ecosystems, and endangered species. Light green emerged in the 1970s after the Earth Day movement and centers on clean energy, solar panels, and wind power as a way to maintain our current lifestyle. Oliver argues that the bright green approach represents a capitalist overlay that has captured the conservation movement, whereas true conservation requires focusing on actual biological systems rather than just technological solutions.3. The experiential art form that Meow Wolf pioneered still has enormous untapped potential, particularly as society becomes increasingly digital. Oliver believes there will be a huge wave of experiential desire in this decade as people crave human connection and real-world excitement. The treasure hunt and scavenger hunt format represents a compelling form of real-life RPG that creates meaningful human interactions. This type of experience design, which Meow Wolf developed through installations like the House of Eternal Return, plays with human dopamine systems by compelling people to open doors, explore spaces, and follow narrative threads through physical environments.4. The architectural model or dollhouse concept represents a crucial rhetorical tool that Oliver is learning to apply to climate and conservation work. Architects have long created physical models to show stakeholders what a building will be like, and this practice of showing a story in compelling ways for different types of brains is essential for getting traction on projects. While architectural models used to be made from foam core, paper, and balsa wood, they are now largely created through 3D printing, which allows for incredibly complex forms and interlocking structures that would have been impossible to construct manually.5. Oliver is obsessed with megafauna and the end Pleistocene extinction event that occurred roughly twelve thousand years ago. For three hundred thousand years, anatomically modern humans existed alongside massive beasts like short faced bears and American lions, and we were the smaller creatures in the ecosystem. The extinction of over one hundred genera of animals over ninety nine pounds, combined with sea level rise of nearly four hundred feet, fundamentally changed human existence and led to the development of agriculture and civilization. Much of our current psychological development, including anxiety responses, is still based on this time period when we lived among these massive animals.6. The current food system in the Great Plains is fundamentally broken compared to the historical managed food system maintained by Plains tribes, who sustained thirty to sixty million bison through 1800. Oliver explored a speculative project about turning the Great Plains into a massive biopreserve of de-extinct megafauna, contrasting the natural system of rotational grazing where predators keep herds moving with the current monoculture crop agriculture that requires external inputs like fertilizer, pesticides, and herbicides. The natural system builds soil and increases fecundity, while industrial agriculture degrades soil, creates toxic runoff, and produces genetically modified crops that feed animals in toxic concentrated feeding operations.7. The fundamental challenge facing humanity now is creating what Oliver calls a biophilic or ecophilic culture that is loving of other species and our home planet. This requires both psychological shifts and changes in how we design systems at all scales. The Amazon provides a powerful example of this, as recent LiDAR mapping has revealed that what appeared to be pristine wilderness was actually a vast tended garden created by indigenous civilizations who developed technologies like Amazonian dark earth through burning middens with various additives. These cultures understood how to be embedded in a web with other species while playing an important orchestrating role, offering a model for how humans might relate to other forms of life in our current era.
Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary
The woman now controlling every motion, every evidentiary fight, and the retrial itself in the Alex Murdaugh double murder case once shared an office with the man defending him. Judge Debra McCaslin reportedly rented space from Dick Harpootlian — Murdaugh's lead attorney — when both were in private practice. They worked a class-action together. And in a separate murder case where Harpootlian represented the defendant, McCaslin was the judge who reportedly denied the state's request to revoke bond.The South Carolina Supreme Court handed McCaslin exclusive jurisdiction after reversing Murdaugh's convictions for the killings of Maggie and Paul Murdaugh. The reversal came after findings that former court clerk Becky Hill's misconduct tainted the original jury. Now the question isn't just whether Murdaugh is guilty — it's whether the system running his retrial can survive its own history.Eric Faddis has been on both sides of courtrooms where a judge's connection to counsel shaped everything. He walks through what warmth toward one lawyer actually looks like in practice — in rulings, in tone, in the calls that could go either way. Then he digs into the ruling that may matter more than any witness: the first jury heard hours of financial crimes testimony. The Supreme Court said that was excessive. McCaslin now draws the line on what the next jury hears. That single decision could determine whether prosecutors can rebuild the motive that carried the first conviction — or whether they walk into round two without their strongest weapon.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Angela Finlay is a Chief Human Capital Strategist, former CHRO, educator, and author of Skill Stacking: Taking Ownership of Your Career in Changing Times. With over 30 years leading talent strategy across Fortune 150 companies and fast-growing organizations, she helps professionals and leaders rethink what it takes to build a resilient career in a rapidly shifting world. Angela also teaches Leadershipand Human Capital Management at the graduate level, including at Columbia University, where she brings real-world clarity to the future of work. Through her Skill Stacking framework, Angela equips individuals and organizations to move beyond outdated career paths and resume thinking. Instead of waiting to be developed, she challenges people to take ownership of their growth by intentionally building capabilities that create opportunity, mobility, and long-term relevance. In a world shaped by AI, disruption, and constant change, her message is clear: careers are no longer managed for you. They are built by you. Angela Finlay Vroom Vroom Veer Summary Jeff welcomes guest Angela Finlay and they laugh about the rough tech start to the session. Jeff prompts Angela to talk about what she's excited about. Angela describes her current roles: fractional and interim CHRO/HR leader for small- to mid-sized businesses, college-level teaching (including work with Columbia University and Fairleigh Dickinson), and a passion project — her book titled Skill Stacking, Taking Ownership of Your Career in Changing Times. She frames her book's premise: people don't need to “start over,” they can reconfigure and combine existing skills — an evolution rather than a revolution. Jeff and Angela briefly discuss historical job-displacement fears (Jeff mentions the example of a job to pick up horse poop) and Angela recounts a podcast episode she'd heard about the transcontinental railroad and the recurring nature of job-displacement panic in society. Jeff asks about Angela's background. Angela says she attended about seven schools by high school because her father worked in the newspaper industry and the family moved often; she learned to “reemerge” in new places. In high school she intentionally pushed herself out of her comfort zone (played field hockey on a losing team, joined activities) and learned to try uncomfortable things. Jeff shares a personal anecdote about his mother buying clothes for a freshman dance and how that changed his presentation. Angela mentions putting her son in a uniform/blazer changed his demeanor. Angela describes applying to many colleges; she unexpectedly received a full scholarship to Fairleigh Dickinson and originally intended speech pathology but switched to accounting (in part because her father was an accountant). She took a job in public accounting, found the work (manual ledger work, calculators printing on paper) tedious, and left a cubicle job after about six months. Her manager had been put in charge of HR and offered it to her — she accepted, taught herself about performance evaluations via library research, and began building HR capability despite feeling underqualified. Jeff observes that “figuring things out” is a valuable skill. Angela warns about over-reliance on instant help (Alexa) and the loss of productive struggle. They note chat AI tools are often very positive/encouraging; Jeff gives a brief anecdote of using AI to check hardware compatibility for an old computer and the AI correctly telling him “no.” Angela traces her career: roughly eight to nine years in public accounting, then head of HR at another firm, then about ten years with a Japanese conglomerate, Mitsui. She describes cultural differences at the Japanese company: relationship-building, the “ringy” process (needing consensus from many people), and the need to engage in non-work conversation before work talk. She shares a story about a code-entry error that produced multiple memos and made her feel like she was living an “Office Space” moment. Jeff and Angela discuss how office rhythms and politeness differ across cultures and organizations. Angela says later she moved to a community bank CHRO role in Brooklyn; when the bank was sold in the pandemic she reassessed and moved toward fractional/interim CHRO work and teaching — leveraging her experience going into companies during transitions. She mentions accounting-firm sales training early in her career and that she's “dangerous” at selling herself; also ties her teaching to early acting lessons and “interacting” skills. They turn to the book and the skill-stacking framework. Angela explains the idea of inventorying and intentionally categorizing one's skills instead of assuming you have no skills. She outlines categories in her stack model: Supportive skills: foundational expertise (examples she names include accounting and employment law). Tactical skills: execution skills — getting things done, project management, time/task management, resource allocation. Adaptive skills: ability to pivot, learn from feedback, take feedback constructively rather than fight it. Complementary skills: people-related abilities and emotional intelligence (EQ) — empathy, relationship-building (she gives a vivid hospital anecdote where a staffer's comforting, practical human response mattered more than clinical intervention). Knowledge-seeking: ongoing learning and curiosity, the polymath concept and making connectors among different domains. Jeff and Angela discuss AI: Angela uses AI in her work but notes it tends to be optimistic and encouraging and may not tell her when an idea is a bad one. Jeff recounts the story about AI warning him not to plug a CPU into an incompatible system. They discuss limits of AI and nuance: Angela emphasizes the human ability to read subtext, in-person dynamics, and emotional cues in organizations — things she believes AI can't replicate. Jeff and Angela also discuss image-generation tools: Angela has experimented with them, found mixed results (about “forty percent” success in her words), and recounts trying to generate an image for a white paper and getting irrelevant outputs (a “rose” instead of the intended interconnected GROWING acronym). Angela links this back to knowledge-seeking and prompting skill development. Angela says she's developing a free app that will let people upload resumes to visualize their skill stacks; she invites listeners to get on the list. She gives her contact info: the website stackingyourcareer.com, LinkedIn (Angela Finlay), and a YouTube channel called Stacking Your Career where she posts videos about the concepts. Jeff repeats the site and they discuss audiences and career planning briefly: Jeff references the FIRE movement (financial independence/retire early) as context for needing ways to make money; Angela stresses building and tracking transferrable skills so people can pivot across a long career span, mentioning the idea of a “sixty year career” and the U-shaped curve of happiness (listeners are told people burn out or are bored after many years and should plan to pivot). The interview wraps up with Jeff thanking Angela for the conversation and inviting her back. Angela agrees. Jeff jokes about “skill building” to end the recording. Tim Paige's outro thanks listeners, points them to the show notes at vvveer.com (transcribed as “v v veer dot com / triple v v double e r dot com”), and signs off. Connections Website

Today's daily podcast is what happens when you invite an Elvis clown into the studio and just… let things spiral.Clownvis Presley hangs out with the crew to talk about his upcoming “Oddballs and Outlaws Tour,” including a big stop at Red Flag in St. Louis. It's part concert promo, part existential confusion, and fully entertaining. If you've never seen Clownvis before, imagine Elvis… but somehow more chaotic and slightly more honest.Meanwhile, Rafe is laser-focused on one goal: getting onto Willie Nelson's tour bus. Not metaphorically. Literally. This turns into a full-blown mission involving questionable disguises, loose connections, and the kind of confidence you only get from zero actual planning. If you've ever tried to “manifest” something with no real strategy, this is your guy.We also dive deep into March Movie Mayhem, where 90s classics go head-to-head and friendships are tested. Dumb & Dumber vs Office Space? Tommy Boy vs Austin Powers? These are the kinds of decisions that say a lot about you—and none of it is good.Then comes the music game… which might be the most aggressively dumb and frustrating game we've ever played on this daily podcast. Tiny sound clips, wild guesses, and just enough confidence to make everyone look ridiculous.In “Crap on Celebrities,” we break down Moby trying to cancel a classic song (because of course he is), debate whether Goo Goo Dolls' “Iris” is actually terrible (Rizz says yes, loudly), and somehow spiral into a full-blown argument about 80s movies that still hold up today.It's messy. It's loud. It's completely unnecessary.

This episode kicks off exactly how you'd expect from a funny podcast that thrives on oversharing — with Riz prepping for his wife's colonoscopy like it's a full-blown live event. We're talking guest room exile, filming post-anesthesia nonsense, and somehow comparing medical procedures to oil changes. Because of course we are.From there, the show spirals into a nostalgia-fueled rabbit hole of “things from the past that would absolutely break us today” — including:Waiting in line for a payphoneDial-up internet destroying your household peacePhysically going to the bank like some kind of pilgrimDownloading a single song for half a dayAnd the true trauma: no save points in old video gamesBasically, if you survived the ‘90s, congrats — you earned today's convenience.Clownvis Presley (yes, that's real, no we won't explain it again) joins the studio and instantly brings the weird energy up to acceptable Rizz Show levels. There's talk of him standing motionless in parking lots like a haunted Elvis statue (which… honestly tracks), plus hype for his upcoming Oddballs & Outlaws Tour, hitting St. Louis at Red Flag.Meanwhile, Rafe is fully spiraling over a stacked Willie Nelson show lineup — and plotting ways to sneak onto Willie's tour bus like it's a low-budget heist movie.The crew continues their 90s movie bracket, and it gets personal:Dumb and Dumber vs Office Space (rude matchup)Tommy Boy vs Austin Powers (illegal to choose)Something About Mary vs Mrs. Doubtfire (childhood vs comedy chaos)Big Lebowski vs Groundhog Day (existential crisis edition)Everyone argues like their childhood depends on it — because it kinda does.The show's signature game returns, and it's a rollercoaster:One round goes completely off the rails (shocking no one)Another round magically connects “doctor” and “hoodie” into “lab coat” like some kind of psychic miracleMultiple moments where the audience is definitely yelling at their radiosIt's the perfect mix of “we got this” and “we absolutely do not got this.”Riz debuts a new game pulling tiny sounds from songs, forcing everyone to guess the track and artist — which turns into:ConfusionAccidental brillianceAnd at least one moment where someone somehow nails it and everyone else gets madStandard operating procedure.Because this is a daily comedy show, we also acknowledge:National Cocktail Day

https://youtu.be/UgAJ4-221HA Josh Block, President of Block Imaging, Founder of Cube Mobile Imaging, and author of People Matter at Work, is on a mission to restore work as a positive force in people's lives. After unexpectedly stepping into the presidency of his family business at just 29 years old, Josh began asking a bold question: What if we could create a place where people love to work — and become someone they never dreamed of because of it? We explore Josh's “Me Cycle” to “We Cycle” Framework (3Ts) — Work Together, Make Thoughtful Decisions, and Be Transparent — a leadership model designed to build trust, ownership, and thriving team cultures. Josh explains how slowing down sharpens decisions, why empathy must shape executive choices, and how radical transparency strengthens accountability. He also shares how defining a clear organizational identity — including mission, values, and thriving mindsets — creates a culture that attracts the right people and repels the wrong ones. — 3 Ways to Forge an Identity for Your Business with Josh Block Good day, dear listeners. Steve Preda here, the Founder of the Summit OS Group, and my guest today is Josh Block, who’s been President of Block Imaging for the last 15 years. He is also the Founder of Cube Mobile Imaging and the author of People Matter at Work. Josh, welcome to the show. Thank you so much for having me, Steve. It’s good to be with you. I'm excited to have you because you've taken over a company as president and CEO, then changed the culture, and written a book about it. So we're going to dive into all this. But before we go there, I'm curious: what is your personal “Why,” and how are you manifesting it in Block Imaging, Cube Mobile Imaging, and your new company? Yeah, I grew up in a home that work was a positive thing. I never heard my dad complain about work. And yet as I went to college and then moved into my twenties, I recognized that work had become kind of a four-letter word in our day—more of a “have to” than a “get to.” So at 29, when I became president of our family business, the collision of my own experience and the world's experience led me to ask the question: What if we could create a place where people love to work? Culture often gets labeled as soft stuff, but not just love to work, but become someone they never dreamed of because they're challenged, they're connected to a mission, they respect their leader, and go home as better people? And so, over the last 15 years, we've sought to create that kind of place—where kids would grow up in homes and say, “I want to work at a place like Mommy and Daddy work.” And they’d actually experienced what I experienced as a young person. That’s great that you had such a positive experience, and I agree. I mean, that’s what we want as entrepreneurs. We want to create this experience for our people as well. So how do you actually do that? How do you create this experience? Do you have a framework that will help people? Perhaps you write about it in your book to get that. I think you call it going from the “me cycle” to the “we cycle.” What does that mean, and how do you get there? Yeah. In most organizations, “me” is the driver. Bosses are extracting from people. They're focused on themselves, or maybe they’re focused exclusively on performance. But in the “me cycle”, bosses look out for themselves, and then employees return the favor. And really nobody wins because it’s more of a cannibalistic approach. And so 322: 3 Ways to Forge an Identity for Your Business with Josh BlockShare on X Leaders set the tone. They're the ones who go first, and they create a culture where people are cared for. In the book, I talk about the “three Ts.” I didn't have them at the beginning — I kind of stumbled upon upon them over the last 15 years. And really, these three Ts allow us to create a culture where people feel safe, seen, and successful. And when they do that, they feel safe, seen, and successful, they give back in incredible ways. They take ownership of the business, and ultimately, trust builds. And when that happens, it shares the burden across the leaders and the team. Everything gets easier. Everyone wins. Performance blossoms. And so that’s really what I highlight along with sharing my story into becoming president is the shift from “me” to “we”. I loved it. So when did you recognize that this was something that needed to happen, and how did you create the vision of what it would look like if you wanted to create it? So when you came into the business, was it more of a “me” culture, and did you change it, or did you pick it up, recognize it, and articulate it even though it was already there? Yeah, I think there were positives and negatives, and maybe I'd classify it as neutral. I wouldn't say it was a thriving team culture, but I wouldn't say it was toxic either. My care for people, my love for work, and my belief in the power of business—that really was what we were looking to embody.Share on X And so it started out just trying to be the answer to that “what if” question I shared. Little by little, because of my really quick transition from sales rep to president, the three Ts emerged. The first was together—we have to work together. It was born out of humility to sharpen decisions. Then it serendipitously became the second T: thoughtful decisions, which is careful consideration of the needs of others. And then the last piece was really a T as well that was leading how I would like to be led, which is just with lots of transparency. So many leaders are keeping so much close to the vest, and it reduces trust. Yet, when we share openly and transparently with people, trust builds, and all sorts of really cool things start to happen. Those three Ts, I kind of stumbled across, and they've become the framework for embodying—not manipulating—people, but really embodying the care that we already have for people. Share on X Yeah, I love it. So working together, making thoughtful decisions, and being transparent. So let’s peel the onion here. What do you mean working together? How is it different from what most companies do? Yeah, so in lots of companies, leaders are overwhelmed. They have too much on their plate. They're moving so fast, and it might be a big decision or a small decision that they make, and they think, “Oh, this isn't that big a deal. In fact, this is like eight on my list of 20 priorities.” And then they spend a lot of time clarifying, cleaning up, and fixing because they’ve moved too fast and they’ve moved thoughtlessly. And so this working together to sharpen decisions, whether it’s something that’s big or really, again, something that’s small. Sometimes the smaller decisions have an inordinate impact on people. So yeah, when I think about working together, I just think of using people in our organization—and even outside of our organization—to sharpen any decision of consequence. Yeah. Many leaders don’t recognize that just because they can come up with a decision themselves, if there is no buy-in, people can't weigh in. And then they don’t realize that people don’t feel ownership of this decision. And they might not get the complete context of it, and they might have some concerns that they feel like it hasn’t been seen and heard, and that can create friction in an organization. And a lot of leaders are thinking to themselves, “Well, I don't have time to slow down. I have too much to do.” And I would say, you actually have so much to do sometimes because of moving too fast and having to clean up, fix, and address issues. I think “slow is smooth, smooth is fast.” If we actually took a bit more time in the decision, we would save time in the long run. Yeah. What about being thoughtful? If you do that—if you work together and take input from other people—isn't that going to create thoughtful decisions? Or is there another dimension that needs to be considered? It certainly is helpful. The more people you bring in, the broader our paradigm is in making a decision.Share on X But you have to stop and think: what is it like to be on the other side of this decision? And one of the story that comes to mind is Office Space. Right now, I'm in a corner office, and I've had an office for a long time. It can be easy to forget what it's like to be in a cubicle, to work closely with 12 other people, or to deal with different lighting or temperature—whatever it is. Stopping and recognizing that there was a time when some things were important to me, but are not important anymore, and yet they're still important to the people I lead—that's thoughtful. This careful consideration of the needs of others asks: how does my decision impact them? And that requires knowing people and knowing what's important to them. I also share in my book, People Matter at Work, that compensation and workspaces are two topics that are really sensitive when it comes to making thoughtful decisions. Can you give an example where you used this principle and you made a different decision because you wanted to be thoughtful and the outcome was positive? Yeah, it is. It's a daily endeavor. For me, oftentimes in my role today, it's working with our leaders and asking them: how would you feel if the decision that we’ve just talked about that you’re getting to ready to roll out? How would you feel if you were 24 years old, or you were new in your role, or you were concerned about your next house payment, or your spouse was having health issues? It's very interesting to see people stop and say, “Yeah, I think my 25-year-old self would not have been happy with the 40-year-old decision I'm about to make.” That's really important. There's a danger in seeing everything through our own lenses and forgetting what was important to us 10 years ago. That's where I find myself in this coaching season—working with leaders to ask: what would you be thinking if you were on the other side of this decision 10 years ago? That's interesting. Alright, let's go to the next one: being transparent. This is a big topic, and different CEOs have different sensitivities to it. Some are willing to be completely transparent with all their numbers, while others are very conservative. They don't even want to show gross profit, let alone net profit numbers. Some even hesitate to show revenue because they feel that if people know it, they might get carried away or ask for a raise. So how are you thinking about transparency, and what is your experience with the pros and cons of transparency? Yeah, a lot of people start from the lens of, “How little can I share with my people?” And really we have tried to go with maximum transparency is what absolutely has to be kept transparent. So there's performance assessments, owner's box information, health, and sensitive HR situations. But other than that, what can we share with people? Ultimately, it comes down to: do you trust your people or not? It starts to become a self-fulfilling prophecy. If I trust our people with information and believe that information is power, the more I empower them, the more likely they are to make good decisions and take ownership. Personally, in our experience, this comes down to answering three questions over and over again. Every one-on-one and every all-team meeting asks: what's going on? And that ranges from the parking lot expansion that we’re working on to our relationship with Siemens, who acquired us two and a half years ago. What’s going on? What is the leader thinking about? What am I reading? What am I concerned about? What am I thinking about in the year ahead? And then the last—and perhaps most important—is: what am I thinking about them? There’s a veil that so many leaders are holding back, and our best people want to know more about what we’re thinking about them. And so this last piece is just a feedback loop. We keep short lists of items that haven't been shared with team members, giving feedback early and often. Yeah. I completely agree. The more you can share with people, the more context they have. They can expand the business, make better decisions, and they don't have to nag you all the time because they can connect the dots themselves. Feedback—especially positive feedback—is always appreciated. Of course, negative feedback might be the “Breakfast of Champions,” but it's not necessarily pleasant. Still, it helps. It's better to get constructive feedback early in the year rather than waiting in your personal appraisal, right? Absolutely. That's too late to do anything about it. One thing that really struck me in our pre-interview is the idea of the identity of the organization. And I have always thought at least the recent years that identity of the CEO is very important for them to be able to live the identity they want, whether inside or outside the company. It's critical during transitions. But I haven't thought about identity in relation to the organization, at least not in this context. So please tell me: what does organizational identity mean, and how can you create the right one? Yeah, so lots of organizations have some sort of mission, vision statement, and values. For us, it looks like what we call the Block Bullseye. At the center is our mission: because we believe that people matter most, we seek to create a thriving team culture that serves healthcare providers in offering a second chance at life for patients.Share on X The middle of the bullseye represents our best self—living out our belief that people matter. And then right outside of our bullseye, we have three different ways of looking at our values and our approaches, which I just shared. The three Ts represent our leadership approach, and the last piece is our thriving mindsets. This is really a way of like inviting people people in: this is who we are when we're at our best. We're imperfect. We don’t do any of this perfectly all the time, but that organizational identity becomes a roadmap or a compass of sorts for guiding our attitudes, actions, and behaviors. What does it mean thriving mindsets, and how do you get people into a thriving mindset? Yeah, so I was just sitting at my desk, maybe 10 years ago, and was just trying and looking at the hundreds and hundreds of people we had hired over the years. I was trying to reverse engineer success. What are those mindsets that tend to lead to people thriving, growing, and taking on more responsibility at our company? And what are the mindsets of those who haven't done as well? I mapped them out, and they were on a spectrum. For example: one is scarcity and abundance, another is blame and responsibility. And then another one is stuck in the past and shapes the future. And so while none of us are to the right side all the time. Oftentimes, in companies, success becomes like a popularity contest: “Oh, they just get along,” or “he likes the way she does this,” or “she likes the way he communicates.” While those things are important, instead of leaving it up to chance or every leader having a different perspective, we actually say, “Here's what we're after.” From our mission, to our values, to our approaches, to these thriving mindsets, it allows people to self-diagnose: “Hey, I'm thinking through a scarcity lens.” It also gives us a roadmap for performance assessments and one-on-ones—something consistent that doesn't change. Brene Brown talks about clear is kind, and it's incredibly kind to say, “This is what we're after.” And then ultimately, that organizational identity that we just talked about becomes a magnet that it draws certain people who want to be a part of a culture like that. And then consequently, it also repels those who maybe don’t connect with the organizational identity that we’ve set forth. Yeah. Essentially, you help these personas understand what it looks like to be in abundance vs. scarcity, or shaping the future vs. stuck in the past. Then you coach people: “Hey, we are about shaping the future. We have a balanced mindset.” How do you coach people on this? Yeah. So I mean, it becomes situational in nature, right? For example, we might have a difficult customer challenge, or we're hiring someone, and we can stop and ask: did the interview answers that the person gave? Did that seem like someone who cares about people? Do they walk with integrity? Do they have a mindset for shaping the future? This allows us, on a situation-by-situation or day-by-day basis, to make better decisions. We had one example this morning: a vendor was disappointed with how we had handled a situation after an audit. I asked our team members, “What would it look like to honor this vendor?” We have a longstanding relationship with them, and so going back to that core value of honor actually allows us to grab onto something that’s tangible, that’s hung on the walls that we talk about often, and it ends up being much stickier than just picking our values on the fly. So these are part of your values? The shaping the future is a core value, or it’s a different dimension? I'm happy to share our organizational identity, and you can put it in the show notes. But around that people matter, our center mission, we have three pieces to the pie. One is values, the other is those approaches, those three Ts I talked about, and then the last piece is those thriving mindsets.Share on X So those three together allow us, and some people would say it’s too much, but for us it’s very clear and something you can grab onto when we’re looking to develop, or frankly, even hold ourselves accountable to the right thing to do in the moment, even when it’s uncomfortable or unpleasant. I love it. So tell me about your book, Josh. Are all these concepts in your book, and have you essentially described how Block Imaging works in your book? Or what is the book, how did this come about, and what is your purpose with it? Yeah, so I became president over a weekend. I was a sales rep on a Friday and became president on a Monday. And so that is part of the story is kind of sharing the transition into leadership, which while many don’t face it as quickly, when they become leaders, they often feel like they weren't trained the same way they were trained to be a technician or whatever job they were hired for. So this book is really my story of coming into leadership and then learning about the shift from the “me” to the “we” cycle.Share on X The purpose of writing the book was the question: What if we could create a place? This was the question I was asking 15 years ago, and it has evolved into: What if we could share our story, the lessons learned, and the principles we've carried along the way to create the culture we have here? What if we could invite other leaders, and not just encourage and equip, but empower them to create cultures that are healthy, where people thrive and performance blossoms? Awesome. If the listeners would like to learn more, is the book available on Amazon? When is it coming out? Yeah, so the book is coming out on March 3rd. It will be available everywhere books are sold, including Amazon. If they'd like to know more about Block Imaging, they're welcome to go to blockimaging.com. And if they'd like to know more or connect with me in any way, they can reach out to peoplematteratwork.com or email josh@peoplematteratwork.com. Okay, well, if you're listening to this and you want to improve the culture of your organization, make sure it has a robust identity that attracts the right people, perhaps repels the wrong people, and ensures people have the right thriving mindset. Also, make it a transparent, thoughtful culture where people work together. Then do check out Josh Block's book, People Matter at Work. If you liked this conversation, keep coming back, because every week I have a thought leader, CEO, or business owner who shares frameworks that worked for them and their companies, which you can pick up and implement in your company to scale much faster. So thanks for coming, Josh, and sharing your goodies, and thanks for listening. Thank you so much for having me, Steve.

Artificial intelligence is starting to rattle another major industry — commercial real estate. In this episode, Kathy Fettke breaks down why shares of major brokerage firms like CBRE, JLL, Cushman & Wakefield, and Newmark recently fell despite strong earnings. Investors are questioning whether AI could shrink brokerage commissions, automate appraisal work, and compress margins across the industry. But the bigger concern may be office demand. If AI allows companies to operate with fewer employees, will they need less office space in the future? Kathy explains what executives are saying, where AI may have the biggest impact first, and what real estate investors should be watching next. Is this short-term market fear — or the beginning of a structural shift in commercial real estate?
