Have you ever wondered why you keep ending up in the same kind of relationship, even when the person looks completely different?In this episode of Sarah's Thoughts, Sarah Grynberg explores the hidden emotional patterns that shape who we choose, why certain relationships feel instantly magnetic, and how our nervous systems often mistake familiarity for love. She reflects on the unconscious ways childhood experiences and emotional conditioning influence attraction, connection, and the cycles we continue repeating without realising it.Sarah unpacks the difference between healthy love and familiar dysfunction, and why so many people unknowingly recreate emotional dynamics that feel “safe” simply because they recognise them. She also explores how awareness becomes the first real step toward changing the patterns that no longer serve us.You'll learn:Why familiar relationship dynamics can feel more attractive than healthy onesHow childhood emotional experiences shape the partners we chooseThe mindset shift that helps break repetitive relationship patternsThis episode is a reminder that you are not broken, difficult to love, or doomed to repeat the same story forever. The patterns you carry were learned, which means they can also be unlearned. And sometimes the biggest shift in your love life doesn't come from finding someone new, but from finally recognising what you've been unconsciously saying yes to all along.Purchase Sarah's book: Living A Life Of Greatness here.To purchase Living A Life of Greatness outside Australia here or here.Watch A Life of Greatness Episodes On Youtube here.Sign up for Sarah's newsletter (Greatness Guide) here.Purchase Sarah's Meditations here.Instagram: @sarahgrynberg Website: https://sarahgrynberg.com/Facebook: facebook.com/sarahgrynbergTwitter: twitter.com/sarahgrynberg Hosted on Acast.

What if the biggest threat to your company is not competition, but the systems everyone told you to trust?In this episode, Alisa Cohn sits down with Eric Ries, creator of the Lean Startup methodology and bestselling author of The Lean Startup, The Startup Way, and Incorruptible, for a conversation about leadership, corporate governance, innovation, and why so many modern companies lose their way as they grow.Eric unpacks the dangerous side of “best practices,” why shareholder primacy often destroys long-term value, and how financial pressure quietly reshapes company culture from the inside out.

Hello Doctor Humans,In this episode, we explore a powerful question that completely reframes what it means to be a “good doctor”: Are you the kind of doctor other doctors would trust with their own family? We unpack why technical skill alone isn't enough, and how qualities like integrity, compassion, and courage shape the way we show up for our patients. If you've ever questioned whether you're doing enough, or doing it right, this conversation will challenge and ground you in a more meaningful way to measure success in medicine.In this episode, we explore:Why your CV and achievements don't define the kind of doctor you areThe deeper standard: being someone others trust with their loved onesHow compassion and care directly impact clinical decisions and outcomesThe importance of “tough soft skills” like honesty, accountability, and speaking upWhy imperfection is inevitable and what matters is how we respond to itChoosing integrity over convenience in everyday clinical momentsThe role of emotional intelligence in building trust with patientsWhy creating time for patients (even in a busy system) mattersRedefining success in medicine beyond performance and perfectionUsing this question as a daily decision-making filter in your practiceIf this episode resonated with you, take a moment to reflect on the kind of doctor you want to be, and how you're showing up each day. Share this episode with a colleague who might need this reminder, and let us know what this question brings up for you.

Visuals: https://getbehindthebillboard.com/episode-108-james-millers Episode #108 features James Millers, newly appointed ECD at McCann London. We've been wanting to get James on the show for ages now and were pleased to catch him before starting his new role. James has won every major award going … 23 Cannes Lions, 9 D&AD pencils, 26 One Show and more. And many of these awards are for OOH. We started with Lucozade and a campaign showing how the drink gives you the edge in a 50/51 challenge. We thought Spurs could do with a few bottles of this ;-) Next BHF and the ‘When you least expect it' campaign - a long copy, campaign talking to punters in high dwell time moments. A lovely tone of voice here, describing how a heart attack can happen anytime, anyplace. We went onto the beach with Surfers Against Sewage and heard how James had to dig a deep hole in the sand to make the work happen. And then the main course, McDonald's. It's incredible the sheer quantity and quality of work James (and ex long term partner Andrew Long) wrote and presided over during their eight years together at Leo's, leading to McDonald's being named "Brand of the Year" by Campaign magazine. In 2023/24 alone, McDonalds won over 100 awards. We could have featured any number of brilliant Macca's campaigns, but James narrowed it down to three: McDelivery, Iconic stacks and the Emoji's campaigns. All three belters with great backs stories. We closed on another banger, Kellogg's The OG, which won awards galore and put Kellogg's back on the creative map. Thanks James so much for coming on the show. We loved it. Good luck in your new role. Thanks also to Jon for the edit, Adrian and all the gang at Soho Radio and of course huge gratitude to all our sponsors, who make the show possible: Bauer Media Outdoor View2Fill Super Optimal GAS Music
This Deaf Awareness Week, we welcome Samantha Baines to the podcast to explore what it's like living with hearing loss and deafness. Samantha is an award-winning actress, comedian and broadcaster who discovered she was deaf nearly 10 years ago and now advocates for accessibility. Samantha shares practical insights, challenges misconceptions, and explores what meaningful accessibility looks like in everyday life and in education. They discuss: The language that deaf communities prefer (and why words matter). How to make meetings, classrooms and public spaces more accessible. The role of BSL interpreters, captions and lip-speaking (and why "one size fits all" doesn't work). Practical ideas schools can apply. "People just assume deaf equals absolutely no hearing. And actually, it is more complicated than that." Samantha Baines View all podcasts available or visit our SENDcast sessions shop! About Samantha Baines Samantha Baines is a multi award-winning woman.

What if recessions don't actually destroy companies… but expose the ones that were already fragile?In this episode of Corporate Finance Explained, we unpack what really happens inside companies when the market turns and the rules of easy growth disappear. Using real-world case studies and corporate finance frameworks, we explore how downturns compress timelines, expose weak balance sheets, and force finance teams into survival mode almost overnight.We break down the hidden mechanics of business survival, from liquidity crises and covenant traps to the difficult tradeoffs between protecting cash, maintaining profitability, and positioning for recovery. This is not theory. It is the real, messy decision-making that finance teams face when conditions deteriorate fast.Why recessions accelerate existing weaknesses instead of creating new onesHow liquidity dries up and why cash becomes the only metric that mattersThe “trailing 12-month covenant trap” and how one bad quarter can impact a full yearWhy hiring freezes and layoffs can quietly damage long-term performanceHow pricing decisions during downturns can permanently erode valueWe also explore the counterintuitive strategies used by resilient companies. Instead of cutting everything, the strongest businesses protect pricing power, continue investing selectively, and use downturns to capture market share while competitors retreat.Through case studies, we examine how different companies responded to crisis conditions:Costco built resilience through recurring membership revenueMcDonald's benefited from consumer “trade-down” behavior and franchise economicsCircuit City collapsed after cutting institutional knowledge at the worst possible timeThe key takeaway is simple. Recessions do not change a company's trajectory. They reveal it and accelerate it.If you want to understand how companies actually survive economic downturns, how finance teams manage crisis scenarios, and how to evaluate business resilience before the next cycle hits, this episode will change how you analyze risk and read financial news.
What does it actually look like to trust God when you have no roadmap, no guaranteed outcome, and no idea how it's all going to come together?In this episode of the Mind Bully Podcast, Norense records live from a hotel room in New York City — one-way ticket, no lease, no plan — and breaks down what real faith costs and what it produces when you stop waiting for certainty before you move.This isn't a theory episode. This is faith in action, documented in real time.What You'll Learn:Why faith never looks familiar — and why that's the whole pointHow to trust God's process during major life transitions even when the people closest to you don't understandThe difference between striving in your own strength and yielding to God's directionWhy low self-esteem and self-doubt are spiritual issues — not just mental onesHow to walk by faith and not by your feelings, your senses, or your circumstancesWhy God doesn't always show you the full plan — and what He's actually looking for from youIf you're in a season of transition, questioning your next move, or wrestling with fear and doubt — this episode is for you.Hebrews 11:1 — Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.Rate and review the Mind Bully Podcast on Spotify — it helps this message reach more people who need it.

S6E5 What Retailers Must Know About Prompt Injection, Rogue Bots & AI Agent Security Before It's Too LateYour AI shopping agent just drained your bank account. It's not a glitch — that's the objective it was given. Welcome to the new reality of agentic commerce, where autonomous AI agents shop, transact, and negotiate on behalf of consumers and brands — and where cybercriminals are already waiting to exploit every crack in the system.In this must-listen episode of The Retail Razor Show, hosts Ricardo Belmar and Casey Golden sit down with Dr. Aaron Estes, VP of Product & Engineering at Binary Defense, to unpack the retail cybersecurity crisis that most retailers haven't even started preparing for. With half of all internet traffic already coming from bots and 1 in 8 AI-related breaches now involving a rogue agent, the agentic commerce era is creating attack surfaces we've never seen before.Dr. Estes brings 20+ years of hands-on cybersecurity expertise, including penetration testing at Lockheed Martin and advisory work with leading retailers. He breaks down exactly how AI agents differ from traditional e-commerce threats, why prompt injection attacks are the new frontier of retail cybersecurity, and what practical guardrails every retailer needs to put in place right now.What You'll Learn in This Episode:Why AI agents are fundamentally different from human users — and why they'll "very confidently spend all your money" to hit their objectiveHow prompt injection attacks trick AI agents into leaking sensitive dataWhy every AI agent needs its own identity, login, and role-based access controls — just like an employeeThe "bots watching bots" architecture that's becoming the new standard in agentic commerce securityHow AI shopping bots are already exploiting loyalty programs, gift cards, and rewards systemsWhy retailers must rethink retail cybersecurity assumptions as autonomous shoppers replace human onesHow to identify rogue chatbots and fraudulent AI agents impersonating legitimate brandsWhat "human-in-the-loop" oversight really means — and where it's non-negotiable in agentic commerceThis Episode is Brought to You By RetailClub.Join 2,000 retail leaders at RetailClub AI Festival, September 22–24 in Huntington Beach.

Norm Volsky doesn't just place people at companies. He invests in them. After 14 years in digital health and employee benefits recruiting, Norm has built something almost nobody else in this industry has pulled off: a $6M recruiting practice and a fully operational venture capital firm — running side by side, feeding each other, in the same niche. His first client, Livongo, sold to Teladoc for $18.5 billion. His second, Hinge Health, just IPO'd for $3 billion. He placed three dozen people at Hinge alone. And somewhere along the way, he realized the smartest investors in the room already trusted him more than any VC — because he knew every founder, every pricing model, every hiring trend before they did. So he stopped just taking fees. He started taking equity.

Managing Made Simple for Team Leaders & Small Business Owners
Yesterday in a client session, something came up that I had to bring straight to the show. A business owner with multiple thriving locations told me her approach to underperformance: she has the conversation right away. No waiting, no managing around it, no hoping it fixes itself.That conversation led me straight to the question at the center of this episode: what are you willing to tolerate? Because whatever you're allowing to keep happening, you're also communicating is acceptable. And the cost of that — financially and culturally — compounds faster than most leaders realize.In this episode you will learn:Why your business will only ever rise to the level of what you're willing to tolerateWhat it actually costs you to let underperformance go unaddressed — and why the real loss is your high performers, not your low onesHow to have the "are you in or are you out" conversation with clarity and empathyWhy the people who are genuinely bought in can hear hard feedback — and what it means when they can'tWhy giving clear feedback and putting the decision back on them changes everything about how this feelsConnect with me: Website: www.liagarvin.com Email: hello@liagarvin.com Instagram: @lia.garvin LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/liagarvinLooking for support for yourself of your team?

We're in the beginning of spring bird migration here on the Gulf Coast, which means warblers, vireos, orioles and thrushes coming through as they make their way up North. Around two billion birds make landfall along our coast from March to May after crossing the Gulf of Mexico. But even after the high-stakes crossing of open water, their next leg of the journey is no less perilous.In this episode of Sea Change, Celia Llopis-Jepsen, host of Up From Dust, tells us a story about a phenomenon threatening birds on their long flights, and we learn how we can all do our part to help them on their journeys.And while we're on the subject, a bird poop trial has officially begun. Neighbors in the city of Harahan have been arguing over the spread and impact of bird feces since 2023.

Jackie O sues ARN for $82 million | Will she testify against Kyle? | Kyle's court date set | 7 News Spotlight gets new EP | BBC Scotland's live TV blunder Rob McKnight examines the latest legal escalation in the Kyle Sandilands and Jackie O dispute — including Jackie's formal Federal Court action against ARN alleging breach of the Fair Work Act, her $82.25 million compensation claim, and whether she could be called as a witness against Kyle at his June hearing. Rob is joined by employment lawyer Michael Byrnes to break down both cases. Jackie O — now confirmed as not having resigned — has lodged formal proceedings in the Federal Court, alleging ARN's termination of her contract constituted adverse action after she raised psychosocial health and safety complaints about Kyle Sandilands. She is also claiming ARN made misleading and deceptive statements in its ASX announcement. Total compensation sought: at least $82.25 million. Kyle Sandilands had his first directions hearing on Friday, with the case set down for five days beginning 22 June. His legal team is seeking specific performance — Kyle back on air — but employment lawyer Michael Burns says courts almost never grant such orders for personal services. The real battle is likely to be about damages. With Jackie now suing ARN, questions arise about whether she'll be subpoenaed to testify against Kyle. The Australian reported ARN intended to call her as a star witness — but with both now in adversarial positions, the situation has changed dramatically. Channel 7 has appointed journalist Rahni Sadler as executive producer of 7 News Spotlight, replacing Gemma Williams. Rob says the move signals serious intent to challenge 60 Minutes — but warns Spotlight needs to be on air 40 weeks a year to make it stick. A BBC Scotland bulletin was interrupted when it accidentally crossed live to the set of The One Show as presenters chatted and prepared for the next program. Rob examines how automation and reduced presentation staff make these gremlins increasingly likely. Bullet list: Jackie O lodges Federal Court action against ARN — $82.25 million claim Jackie alleges bullying, unsafe workplace, and misleading ASX statement Will Jackie be subpoenaed to testify against Kyle? Kyle's case set for five days from 22 June — specific performance vs damages Rob's exclusive: termination letter to Kyle focused solely on 20 February broadcast Rahni Sadler named EP of 7 News Spotlight BBC Scotland's live TV blunder — the price of automation
Organizations often respond to performance challenges by adding more accountability: additional metrics, more reporting, and closer monitoring. Yet in many cases, these efforts do not solve the underlying problem.In this episode of Grounded and Aligned™, Karen speaks with leadership researcher and author Patrick Veroneau about the difference between accountability and ownership in high-performing teams. Drawing on two decades of work with leaders and teams across industries, Patrick explains why many organizations struggle with engagement even while emphasizing accountability.The conversation explores a structural pattern Patrick has observed repeatedly. Teams that struggle, teams that perform at an average level, and teams that consistently excel all engage in three behaviors: they support each other, celebrate each other, and challenge each other. The difference lies in the sequence.Great teams begin with support. When people trust that others have their backs, challenge becomes constructive rather than defensive, and accountability shifts from external pressure to internal ownership.For leaders, the implication is significant. Engagement, ownership, and performance are not created through tighter oversight. They emerge when leaders create the conditions where people choose to take responsibility for the shared mission.Key discussion points:Why organizations that focus primarily on accountability often miss the deeper issue of ownershipThe three behaviors all teams demonstrate — support, celebrate, challenge — and why the sequence mattersHow the CABLES model builds trust and credibility through consistent leadership behaviorsThe five levels of the Accountability Staircase and how language signals where a team is operatingWhy compliance creates average teams, while commitment creates high-performing onesHow small improvements and declines compound over time through the “1% principle”High-performing teams rarely emerge from pressure alone. They form when individuals feel supported, valued, and connected to the mission. At that point accountability no longer needs to be imposed from the outside. People begin to take ownership for the success of the team itself.Connect with Patrick here:Patrick Veroneau website: www.emeryleadershipgroup.comFree leadership resources and downloads (CABLES model, team assessments, etc.): Resources - Emery Leadership Group - Portland, MECABLES model: CABLES Leadership ModelBook: The Missing Piece: What Great Teams Do That Others OverlookBook: The Leadership BridgeLinkedin: Patrick Veroneau, MS | LinkedIn

In 2015, the media became obsessed with one man's attempts to grow tea in the Scottish Highlands. The BBC profiled him on the One Show. Radio reporters flocked to interview him. Even the Chinese national news agency reported his work. Tam O'Braan (as he was then known) was the first to ever sell Scottish tea, and the press went wild. Fornum and Mason bought his leaves. The Dorchester created a new Scottish tea-tasting menu. Barack Obama reportedly tried his tea, and the Queen loved it. Tam's business started bringing in hundreds of thousands of pounds. But soon his lies began to unravel. Today, with Jaega Wise, we tell the story of the Scottish tea scandal. We explain how Tam O'Brann fooled the world and the psychology behind why so many customers believed him. --- Listen to the BBC Food Program's show on the scandal: https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m002mn01 Learn more about Jaega: https://www.jaegawise.com/ Unlock the Nudge Vaults: https://www.nudgepodcast.com/vaults Join 10,828 readers of my newsletter: https://www.nudgepodcast.com/mailing-list Connect on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/phill-agnew/ --- Today's sources: Koschate-Fischer, N., Diamantopoulos, A., & Oldenkotte, K.

Visuals: https://getbehindthebillboard.com/episode-105-yohan-daver This Friday sees the last in our New York specials and we're finishing with a cracker, Yohan Daver, ECD at at BBH, USA Yohan started his career in India, at BBDO and then BBH, before continuing his journey with the black sheep to LA and now BBH New York. Yohan's work has been recognised at every major awards show, winning big at Cannes, D&AD, The One Show, and the Clios. We discussed some of his very best campaigns, starting with Netflix's Squid Game: The Challenge, a genuinely intriguing, funny and superbly on-brand campaign that questioned the morals of New Yorkers and what they would do for money. Next we covered the ‘Black-owned Friday Every Day' initiative for Google in partnership with the U.S. Black Chambers, Inc. to reframe the busiest shopping day of the year as a celebration of Black-owned businesses. We did a quick bit of Heineken, before finishing on Dunkin' at Home which we've loved ever since we saw it last year. It is the epitome of great OOH, fantastic idea, brilliantly executed. Yohan gave us the story behind the idea which is not to be missed. Then we chatted about the beautifully crafted execution. It deservedly won our International Poster of the year and we imagine it will clean up in the awards shows later this year. Thanks again Yohan for coming on. A great end to a fun week. Huge thanks once again to Joe at Rockefeller Center's Newsstand Studios for making us sound (semi)professional. Thanks also to our all our guests both in the studio and at AdFest, you were all amazing. Kudos as ever to Jon for the edits. Gas for the music. And the good people of New York who made us feel so welcome. V much hoping to return.

Motorcycle shows have been a staple of the cold-weather months for generations. Most of the old-school, new-product, OEM-supported shows have gone the way of non-ABS equipped new motorcycles—they're nowhere to be found. In the US, the slick show circuit disappeared in favor of custom and lifestyle events, like Born Free or The One Show. Or become industry-only shindigs, like AIM expo. But in the UK and in Canada, traditional shows have maintained a death-like-grip on an ever-shrinking clientele. ADVRider.com managing editor Zac Kurylyk pops in this week for a discussion with Neil Graham about what it looks like to view an event hanging by a thread. Or is that a noose?

Every year, schools and districts roll out a new math improvement plan. The language sounds right: teacher voice, coherence, sustainability, research-based practice. But the results don't change. New curriculum is dropped with little support. Big goals are set without the conditions to meet them. Top-down decisions are labeled collaboration. In this episode, Jon Orr and Yvette Lehman name the uncomfortable truth behind stalled improvement: when what leaders say doesn't match what their system is designed to do, trust erodes—and progress stops.In This Episode, You'll Learn:Why most math improvement plans are recycled versions of old onesHow the say–do gap undermines trust and implementationWhy curriculum adoption alone doesn't move the needleThe conditions that actually support meaningful math changeWhy ambition without system capacity leads to failure narrativesHow doing less—strategically—creates more impactHow the Math Coherence Compass helps leaders align beliefs and decisionsIf you're ready to stop repeating the same math improvement cycle and start designing systems that reflect what you truly believe about teaching and learning, this episode will help you get real—and lead differently.Not sure what matters most when designing math improvement plans?

in this UNCENSORED episode, you'll see a chaotic “drive-by” airsoft attack near Portland's ICE facility, a missing-person case that's being framed as a ransom kidnapping before the facts are fully public, and a major update from Border Czar Tom Homan on why the Minneapolis surge is drawing down.You hear directly from “Tommy Boi,” who walks you through the timeline—multiple drive-bys, escalating confrontation, a long gap, and then a return with an airsoft weapon—plus why he believes this shows planning, not impulse. You also get a blunt, no-filter breakdown from private investigator and author Nils Grevillius, who challenges assumptions in the Nancy Guthrie case and explains what the available signals may (and may not) indicate. Finally, you get the latest on Minneapolis enforcement, cooperation at jails, and what officials are saying about safety, rules of engagement, and misinformation surrounding ICE operations.#PortlandProtests #Antifa #Crime #PublicSafety #FirstAmendment #FreeSpeech #Censorship #NancyGuthrie #MissingPerson #TrueCrime #TomHoman #BorderSecurity #Minneapolis
Rejoin myself and Allie Bailey on this weeks episode of One For The Road as we catch back up on life on the other side of sobriety, and candidly chat about our experiences on both sides of the line with emotional sobriety.Allie Bailey is an ultrarunner, award winning coach, speaker and podcaster who has run in some of the most extreme places in the world. She was the first woman to run 100 miles across frozen Lake Khövsgöl in Mongolia and to run the full length of the Panama Canal. She has crossed the inhospitable Namib Desert three times, run the length of the Outer Hebrides and completed a 1,000-mile off-road version of the classic Land's End to John o'Groats route in just thirty days. Allie has finished over 200 marathons and ultramarathons all over the world, including the Dragons Back Race and the full Winter Spine Race, but the most remarkable thing about all of these achievements is that she accomplished many of them while battling depression and alcoholism. Although running ultimately became the vehicle that helped buy Allie the time to recover from a number of severe mental health breakdowns, it did not save her. In fact, there were times when it made her battle all the more difficult. After a seismic mental health crisis in 2021, Allie finally admitted to herself and those around her that she was an alcoholic and started her recovery. She left behind a dream career with major record labels and adventure companies and now works as a coach and author with a broad range of runners and endurance athletes, helping them unlock their full potential. In 2022, she was named as one of the most inspiring female adventurers in the UK by the Guardian, and she has appeared on numerous mainstream TV programmes including The One Show and Lorraine. In 2023 she released her first book, the award nominated and critically acclaimed memoir “There is Now Wall”. Her second book “31 Days: A Zero Bullshit Mindset Masterclass for the Modern Runner was released in February 2026. Allie lives in Yorkshire with her rescue dog, Pickle.https://www.instagram.com/ab_runs/https://amzn.eu/d/03O7NRTzIf you want to connect with me via Instagram, you can find me on the instahandle @Soberdave https://www.instagram.com/soberdave/or via my website https://davidwilsoncoaching.com/Provided below are links for services offering additional help and advice.www.drinkaware.co.uk/advice/alcohol-support-serviceshttps://nacoa.org.uk/Show producer- Daniella AttanasioInstagram - @TheDaniellaMartinezhttps://www.instagram.com/thedaniellamartinez/www.instagram.com/grownuphustle Hosted on Acast.

This week on Dopey!Dave dives headfirst into the surprisingly powerful world of Yellow Balloon groups — sober support tables that have become lifelines for recovering addicts and alcoholics at jam-band shows. The episode blends personal stories, history, and community vibes with guests Benji Rosenzweig (Storied Podcast, One Show at a Time) and Jen Dawson (Alia Health Group, hardcore Fellowship member). We hear the origin of Wharf Rats (Grateful Dead sober scene), how Fellowship (Phish-focused) branched off, and how dozens of similar groups now exist for bands like Goose, Billy Strings, Umphrey's McGee, Tyler Childers, and more. Dave shares his own outsider curiosity as someone who used shows purely as open-air drug markets, while Benji and Jen describe how the yellow balloon became a beacon in chaotic concert environments. It's part recovery fellowship, part parking-lot hang, part set-break gratitude circle, and — for many — the place where real connection replaced isolation.ALL THAT AND MORE ON THE BRAND NEW HIPPY CENTRIC EPISODE OF DOPEY!“Yellow Balloons Saved My Concert Life” – How Sober Hippies Built Secret Recovery Tables at Phish, Dead & Billy ShowsFrom Drug-Seeking to Hug-Seeking: The Insane Story of Yellow Balloon Groups“You're With Family Now”: The Grateful Dead Sober Scene That Spread to Every Jam BandChasing the Yellow Balloon: How Fellowship & Wharf Rats Keep Addicts Sober at ShowsSober Raging at Dicks: The Secret Society of Jam-Band Recovery Tables Exposed Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

In this episode of Leadership Insider, Paul reflects on one of the most overlooked realities of leadership today: leadership is emotional, whether we acknowledge it or not. Drawing on more than four decades of experience working with leaders, teams, and global organisations, he explores how many leadership problems remain hidden in plain sight because they are misdiagnosed, avoided, or oversimplified.Key themes explored in this episode:Why leadership is shaped more by emotional climate than strategy or structureHow leaders often mistake control, compliance, or engagement metrics for real leadershipThe difference between managing obedience and cultivating ownershipWhy people disengage when they feel unseen, unheard, or unsafeHow emotional blind spots quietly erode trust, culture, and performanceWhy the most damaging leadership issues are often the most obvious onesHow misdiagnosing problems leads to repeated fixes that never workPaul also shares real-world observations from working inside organisations — including luxury brands — showing how leaders can become disconnected from the lived experience of their people, and how this disconnect affects morale, loyalty, and results.Key takeaway:Leadership improves when leaders stop managing symptoms and start paying attention to the emotional reality of the people they lead.To continue the conversation, you can stay connected with Paul through the Leadership Insider podcast, where he shares further reflections on leadership, culture, and the human side of work.
A bright blue guitar covered in orange koi fish vanished from a museum display … and Swifties immediately knew what it meant.That distinctive guitar—the one Taylor Swift used to record Speak Now—had been a gift. Hand crafted, by the founders of Taylor Guitars. When she brought it back on stage during her Eras tour, the fans went wild.In this episode, Bob Taylor and Kurt Listug tell the unlikely story behind one of the world's most respected acoustic guitar brands—how it grew from a tiny San Diego repair shop doing $30,000/year into a global business with nine-figure revenue. And how it survived every challenge that should've ended it: a distributor deal that didn't add up, a brutal market crash in the disco era, and such slow growth that—five years into the business—the founders could barely pay themselves a salary ($15/week).It's a story about serendipity, obsession, and the quiet power of a partnership where each person knows their lane—Bob with relentless craftsmanship, Kurt with the discipline to turn it into a massive business.Plus: the purple 12-string featured in Prince's “Raspberry Beret” … the MTV Unplugged boom that boosted the business … and why the founders eventually chose to convert the business to 100% employee ownership.What you'll learn:The operating principle that changed Taylor's production: one finished guitar beats 10 half-finished onesHow to make a slow-growth business survivable (and why Bob saw it as “education”)How to recognize a bad distribution dealThe design innovations that drew musicians to Taylor guitarsWhy Bob got a call from Taylor Swift's dad when she was 14—and the iconic guitar her fans grew to loveHow the business managed demand shocks during COVIDWhy an ESOP can be a founder's best “succession plan” decisionWhat a great partnership looks like in practiceTimestamps:(Timecodes are approximate and may shift depending on platform.)00:06:39 – The high school moment: “I didn't have $175 … so I thought, I'll just make a guitar.”00:07:14 – The American Dream shop: the hippie setup that became a launchpad00:10:20 – The “baseball bat neck” problem with guitars—and Bob's happy-accident innovation00:11:59 – Buying the shop for $3,700 … then realizing it didn't include the name (or phone number)00:22:31 – The sentence that changed everything: “Would you rather have 10 half-done guitars or one done guitar?”00:26:28 – The distributor deal that ended in layoffs: good sell job, bad math, and what they learned00:38:30 – Buying out the third partner: why the business doubled when “the brakes were off”00:59:52 – Before Taylor Swift was Taylor Swift: a phone call from a proud dad, and a promotional concert that almost went unheard01:09:36 – The inflation economics of guitar building***Hey—want to be a guest on HIBT?If you're building a business, why not get advice from some of the greatest entrepreneurs on Earth?Every Thursday on the HIBT Advice Line, a previous HIBT guest helps new entrepreneurs work through the challenges they're facing right now.

Everybody talks about loyalty.Nobody talks about growth.In this solo episode, I freestyle my way through a realization I've been avoiding for a while. The people you're closest to might not be the people helping you move forward. And that doesn't make them bad people. It just means your life has shifted.I break down why trying to get everything from one group will burn you out, how over-pouring into others can stall your own progress, and why it's okay to build different cliques for different parts of your life.This isn't about cutting people off. It's about getting honest about what you need.Because loyalty without growth eventually turns into resentment.And it's about damn time we talked about that.In this episode, I get into:Why being the “captain” of your clique can quietly hold you backThe difference between pouring into people and being pulled upWhy you don't need one clique. You need the right onesHow your environment impacts your motivation, discipline, and goalsThe mistake I keep making with the relationships that actually push me forwardWhy balance beats grind culture and comfort every timeIt's About DAMN Time SegmentIt's about damn time you stop expecting one group of people to meet every need in your life.The D.A.M.N. ChallengeThis week, identify the cliques you actually need.Not who you've been loyal to. Not who's always around.Who makes you better?For me, that's:A fitness cliqueA creative cliqueA fun, blow-off-steam cliqueFigure out yours. Then start watering the right relationships.If this episode had you thinking about your circle, your growth, or your balance, share it with someone who might need to hear it too.Let's build better environments.

AI Doesn't Eliminate Agile Teams — It Increases the Need for Great Ones - Mike CohnEveryone today seems eager to talk about how AI is accelerating software development. Teams are shipping faster. Individuals are more productive. Entire backlogs can be written in minutes. Estimates are a click away. Code that once took days now materializes in minutes. With all this newfound speed, it's understandable that teams and leaders start asking whether they still need the same kinds of collaboration—or even the same kinds of teams.Yet hidden underneath all that enthusiasm is a risk that hasn't received enough attention. In fact, I would argue it is the risk that agile leaders should be paying the closest attention to.https://www.mountaingoatsoftware.com/blog/ai-doesnt-eliminate-agile-teams-it-increases-the-need-for-great-onesHow to connect with AgileDad:- [website] https://www.agiledad.com/- [instagram] https://www.instagram.com/agile_coach/- [facebook] https://www.facebook.com/RealAgileDad/- [Linkedin] https://www.linkedin.com/in/leehenson/

Dave rings in New Year's Eve with a raw, reflective Wednesday dose amid a “rough fucking week” on the home front, admitting family struggles (including Linda's dad's health) have him questioning whether to keep the grueling Five Days of Dopey schedule into 2026 while teasing resolutions like restarting the infamous Dopey Fitness Challenge, daily writing, and maybe even Tai Chi to save his creaky joints. He reads a heartfelt email from old-timer Craig begging him to go full-throttle for the community's sake, then drops the full replay of his recent guest spot on the hippie Yellow Balloon podcast One Show at a Time—a rapid-fire qualification packed with childhood staph infections, codependency as his first “drug,” heroin-fueled career crashes, supervised visitation shame, and the desperate AA surrender that finally stuck at 41. The share ends with an avalanche of love from the Zoom crowd (random cameos from Ivan Neville and Anders Osborne included), leaving Dave both embarrassed and deeply grateful as he closes out 2025 counting blessings, overeating brookies with Susan at Patchogue's early ball drop, and reminding the Nation: if you're struggling tonight, reach out—tomorrow's a new day. All that and more on this weeks collab show with the one show at a time podcast! Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
