Team Simon here! Thank you for being part of such an incredible year—and for helping us grow the podcast through your support, sharing it with others, and showing up week after week. We love seeing your comments and hearing what resonates with you.A Bit of Optimism returns on January 27, 2026, with brand-new episodes we think you're really going to enjoy. Until then, we're revisiting a few of our favorite moments from the past year.We're kicking things off with one of our most popular episodes—the conversation we filmed in London with Mo Gawdat. As a “Happiness Expert,” Mo teaches us that happiness is a choice, even if it's not always an easy choice to make.Mo had to face an impossible choice. Before he was a bestselling author and podcast host, Mo worked a lucrative career as Chief Business Officer at Google X. He reached the heights of business influence and amassed a fortune by 29. And yet, he was miserable. It was only after the tragic death of his 21-year-old son Ali that Mo was forced to confront the truth.Mo now dedicates his life, work, and research to figuring out how human beings can be happier, and he's on a mission to make 1 billion people happy. He shares what he's learned – that happiness is both a choice and our default setting, how to trick our brains out of survival mode, and why the happiest emotions we feel are rooted in the present, not the past or future.This… is A Bit of Optimism.---------------------------To learn more about Mo and his work, check out: https://www.mogawdat.com/

Manufacturing leadership is more than just charts, tools, and process maps. It requires people who understand the routines, pressures and drivers within a factory, and how to bring out the best in the people behind it. In this episode, keynote speaker, certified leadership coach and business transformation advisor, Kathy Miller returns to the show to share some ideas from her latest book, MORE is Better, a framework built from years of leading operations and studying what drives excellence in manufacturing.Rather than starting with strategy or systems, Kathy begins with the human elements: helping people find meaning in the work they do, creating a culture where problems feel solvable, and building the relationships that make teams stronger and more resilient. Her stories come straight from plant floors navigating Lean initiatives, new technology, talent turnover, and the day-to-day realities of production.For leaders trying to build long-term capability in their teams, Kathy reminds us that the factories that thrive are the ones that invest in both performance and people. In this episode, find out:Why meaningful work matters more than ever, and how to help people see their impactThe difference between autonomy and agency and why agency is what drives pride, ownership, and problem-solving on the plant floorHow optimism becomes a cultural engine, not a personality traitWhere Lean manufacturing and positive psychology intersectHow leaders at every level shape culture through micro-moments of connection that build trust, resilience, and collaborationWhat digital transformation and AI mean for manufacturing workersHow to “do a little more today” with small, practical leadership actions that build stronger workplaces one conversation, one moment, one choice at a timeEnjoying the show? Please leave us a review here. Even one sentence helps. It's feedback from Manufacturing All-Stars like you that keeps us going!Tweetable Quotes:“A key aspect of lean manufacturing is eliminating waste. We don't want people creating scrap. Who wants to work on something that's going to end up being waste? Don't you want to work on the product itself?”“Small choices really build our culture, our performance, and our leadership legacy, and that happens one little shift at a time.”“Optimism is really about that ability to look at when things go wrong and know that you can solve the problem. It's temporary, it's specific, and it's not going to be the end of the world.”Links & mentions:MORE is Better: Leading Operations with Meaning, Optimism, and Relationships for Excellence, by Kathy Miller, a practical handbook for manufacturing leaders, grounded in psychology and real plant experience, focused on building strong cultures that drive performance.More 4 Leaders, Kathy's website and the home of More Mentor, her AI-powered coaching tool designed to help leaders work through real-world challenges using the principles from MORE is Better.Episode 97 featuring Kathy Miller, our first conversation with Kathy, aired June 28, 2022, where she shares her journey from running global manufacturing operations to coaching leaders through culture, leadership, and transformation.

Shoot us a Text.Episode #1226: We're talking rising auto prices and longer-term debt in the U.S., Kazakhstan's record-setting manufacturing momentum, and Simon Sinek's take on why Gen Z might be the most rational workforce yet.As new car prices have climbed 33% since 2020, affordability is slipping out of reach for many. Buyers are stretching loan terms to eight, nine, even ten years—trading short-term relief for long-term debt.Average new vehicle price broke $50K this fall, up from under $38K in early 2020.Monthly payments now average $760; rising prices and high interest rates are fueling defaults.One-third of buyers now take loans of at least 72 months; some exceed 100 months, especially on pickups.Automakers are lowering prices and leaning into base trims—Ford's Maverick jumped 76% in November sales.Kazakhstan's automotive sector is on a record-breaking run. Through the first 11 months of 2025, vehicle production has already topped the full-year total from 2024, signaling both rising demand and growing sophistication in local manufacturing. With nearly $4 billion in output, the industry is becoming a major economic engine.From January to November, Kazakhstan built 146,163 vehicles valued at $3.9B—a 15.7% jump from 2024.November alone set a monthly record with 22,580 units produced worth $601M, up 25.5% year-over-year.Auto manufacturing now makes up 41.7% of the country's entire machine-building sector, up from 2024.Growth was led by Allur (79K+ units) in Kostanay and Hyundai plants in Almaty and Shymkent (up 26.7%), including those operated by our friends at Astana MotorsSimon Sinek and Garry Ridge are taking aim at the "lazy Gen Z" stereotype. In a recent podcast conversation, the leadership thinkers argue that Gen Z's workplace demands are less about entitlement—and more about a rational response to broken corporate trust.On A Bit of Optimism, Sinek says Gen Z's need for upfront value stems from growing up in a world with "no loyalty from the company."Ridge, former WD-40 CEO, agrees: leaders must build trust and ditch outdated performance models.Both advocate for regular coaching check-ins over once-a-year reviews.Gen Z doesn't want delayed recognition—they want feedback, growth, and transparency now.“I don't want to wait 364 days for you to tell me what I should've done better,” said RidgeThank you to today's sponsor, Mia.

In this episode, Dipak Kalra, President of the European Institute for Innovation through Health Data, joins Faces of Digital Health to break down the real progress (and real gaps) in European health data, from legacy “hybrid” paper/digital workflows to the underused potential of clinical decision support that depends on structured data. We explore what EHDS changes—especially the promise of a standardized, downloadable patient dataset—and what it could unlock for patient-facing apps, analytics, and more active self-management. We also tackle the hard questions: how to protect citizens from misuse and scams, how opt-out choices might create bias in research and AI, why “beating clinicians with a stick” won't fix data quality, and why delays aren't just bureaucratic—they can translate into avoidable harm. 02:00 The State of Healthcare Data in Europe 07:59 Challenges in Data Interoperability 12:31 The Role of Patients in Data Management 16:37 AI and Data Privacy Concerns 22:01 Patient Consent and Data Usage 28:00 Optimism for the Future of Health Data 31:03 Optimistic Futures for EAGDS 33:02 Preparing for EHDs: Readiness and Challenges 35:48 Data Quality and Workforce Challenges 37:58 Delays and Future Discussions on EHDs 39:53 The Urgency of Health Data Readiness 42:38 The Evolving Role of Patients in Healthcare 50:19 Building Trust Among Healthcare Stakeholders 57:58 The Future of Healthcare Data Discussions

Under året har du fått ta del av totalt 24 avsnitt – varav 11 med gäster och 12 avsnitt som följt kapitlen i min bok Whole in One – din resa till inre lugn, mental styrka och frihet. Jag vill börja med att rikta ett varmt tack till dig som lyssnar. Det betyder mycket att du är med på den här resan. Och nästa år firar podden dessutom 10-årsjubileum! Podden startade i november 2016, så 2026 markerar tio år av samtal om idrott, ledarskap och mänsklig utveckling. Inför jubileet tar vi gärna emot din feedback och dina önskemål om framtida gäster. Maila oss gärna på info@jennyhagman.com – vi uppskattar det otroligt mycket. Och nu till det här avsnittet, som är avsnitt nummer 173. Det handlar om kapitel 13 ur boken Whole in one som heter Optimism, Hoppfullhet och Inre frid. Att känna optimism och att ha en positiv attityd är inte alltid så lätt, men med en stabil och lugn grund, en stark självbild och en inspirerande och tydlig målbild som ger dig mening så blir det lättare. Om du har läst boken och följt poddavsnitten under året så har du nu byggt upp ett inre lugn och en mental styrka och därmed skapat förutsättningar för att se ljuset istället för mörkret, att se problem som uppgifter som ska lösas och ha en positiv attityd och ett öppet sinne. I det här avsnittet går Jenny igenom den viktiga grunden som bygger upp optimism, hoppfullhet och en positiv attityd. Du får övningar och reflektioner att jobba med och som Alfred Nobel sade; "Att sprida ljuset är att sprida välstånd" så det är väl värt att lära dig fokusera på ljuset om du inte redan gör det. I avsnittet får du också fyra kraftfulla reflektionsfrågor som hjälper dig att sammanfatta 2025, ta med dig dina lärdomar och rikta blicken framåt – mot 2026. Vi vill återigen tacka dig för det gångna året och för att du är med här. Vi ser fram emot en ny säsong som startar mot slutet av januari, med nya gäster och ett nytt tema. Varmt välkommen – och varmt tack. God jul och gott nytt år önskar Jenny och teamet på Train for Balance Vill du veta mer om vad som är på gång i Jennys verksamhet är du varmt välkommen att besöka www.jennyhagman.com eller följ henne på Instagram: @jenny_hagman eller LinkedIn: Jenny Hagmanpå Linked In på följande länk:https://www.linkedin.com/in/jenny-hagman-62931a1a/ Ta hand om dig och varandra!

In this episode, Laura Dyrda, Vice President and Editor in Chief of Becker's Healthcare, shares insights on the 2026 outlook for healthcare providers, including policy shifts, Medicaid changes, consolidation trends, and financial pressures. She discusses why leaders are balancing near term challenges with cautious optimism as they plan for stability, access, and long term transformation.

In this final Scouser Tommies episode of 2025, Jim Boardman and Jay Reid look back not just at the last week of Liverpool action but at a record-breaking roller-coaster of a calendar year, with the highs of that title win starting to feel like a lifetime ago when the Reds went through a slump they looked incapable of getting out of. There's also a look ahead, not just to the busy festive period but to the year in front of us. Two wins, with two clean sheets, is more like we'd expect from the Reds, and although it doesn't yet make up for that terrible streak, as Jay points out, there are some shoots of optimism. The results are better, the performances have improved, but perhaps most importantly there has finally been a tactical shift from the boss that gets the best out of the squad he has at his disposal. The optimism is tempered with caution, because whilst the new tactics have been fruitful, it's only a matter of time before these are sussed out too by opposition bosses. For Jim, it is vital that Slot reacts if and when that does happen, because during that slump Liverpool weren't just regularly beaten, they were regularly hammered. Jay is delighted to see Milos Kerkez finally being deployed in a way that we saw him play before he arrived at Anfield, something he's asked for all season on this show. Similarly, on the opposite flank, Joe Gomez was allowed to play like a full-back - getting an assist too - rather than as a converted centre-back. Back-to-basics defending and better positional discipline have made a difference, and as Jay points out, so has the freedom and discipline of Jones, Gravenberch, Szoboszlai and Mac Allister to rotate in midfield while ensuring defensive gaps were filled. Playing the best players in their best positions can also be a huge help to a side that's struggling. Jim notes that Hugo Ekitiké looks like an "edge-of-the-seat" player, the kind you know will put chances away. The two braces in two successive games are just a part of what he's offering up front. Isak might be the record signing and might need games to get fit, but, as Jay points out, it won't have done Hugo's confidence a lot of good to be dropped for a player who, despite the price tag, is nowhere near ready to be a first-choice Reds striker. His time will come, that much seems certain, but maybe it will come sooner if he's partnered with the confident and in-form Frenchman. As we look ahead to a busy festive period - and to 2026 itself - Jay and Jim wonder what the new year might bring. Will the centre-backs get some cover, some competition, maybe even an eventual successor to Virgil? Arne Slot seems safe for now, and the current form is encouraging, but will he still be in his job by the start of the new season? Expectations at Anfield remain high, but there's a lot of work to be done to live up to them, regardless of what happened last season. The festive period offers a good chance to make inroads towards meeting those demands. Four games that Liverpool should be able to get at least 10 points from, all in the league as the Champions League has its winter break. One game at a time and all that, but get these four games right and the next one, against Arsenal, may have a very different feel to it than might have been expected a couple of weeks ago. The first of those four is against Tottenham, a fixture that has had its fair share of goals over the years. The away fixture last term saw Slot's side concede three, but unlike this season they managed to come away with all three points, bagging six of their own. The home fixture was, of course, memorable for reasons beyond that one match itself and the six goals it featured, because it was the one that finally clinched the title for the Reds. As always, there's time to chuckle at the mentality of the old neighbours, who just can't break out of type. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Rev. Nathan Detering led our service on Sunday, December 14, 2025, with a sermon titled, “Light the Candles Anyway: A Sermon on Hope Instead of Optimism.”

On this episode of The Whitfield Report, Sam Whitfield and his co-host take on the strange tension of living in an era defined by nonstop bad news—while still insisting that optimism, humor, and free speech matter more than ever.The conversation opens with a defense of the right to offend, arguing that truly free speech must include uncomfortable, unpopular, and even offensive ideas if society is going to keep moving forward. From there, the hosts acknowledge the bleak headlines dominating the news cycle, but ground the discussion in a simple philosophy: any day above ground is a good day.Things take a sharp (and darkly comic) turn with a tongue-in-cheek attempt to “re-litigate” the legacy of Charles Manson, poking holes in the popular narrative around mind control and media mythology. That humor quickly gives way to a broader discussion about the rising anger and frustration across the political spectrum—and why so many people feel perpetually on edge.Pop culture also gets its moment, as the hosts laugh at the online outrage over John Cena losing his final wrestling match, reminding viewers that wrestling is scripted… and always has been.A major portion of the episode focuses on a troubling shooting incident at Brown University, with pointed criticism aimed at law enforcement's lack of clarity, questionable surveillance footage, and reports that the victim was a college Republican and podcaster. This leads into a broader critique of Rhode Island's political leadership and institutional incompetence, both past and present.The latter half of the episode dives headfirst into cultural censorship, cancel culture, and the growing insistence that certain opinions simply cannot be spoken aloud. Sam and his co-host push back hard, arguing that people should be allowed to express even “bad” or “dumb” ideas without fear of professional or social annihilation. That frustration spills over into a heated rant targeting Rob Reiner, blending personal commentary with broader cultural critique.The episode closes on a deliberately provocative note with a rapid-fire list of “too edgy” jokes and opinions that wouldn't fly on a live broadcast—touching on gender politics, Garth Brooks, the CIA, Joe Biden, Antifa, and more—serving as both satire and a final statement on the state of modern discourse.Dark topics, sharp humor, and an unfiltered defense of free expression—this is The Whitfield Report exactly as intended.Please Support The Show:Sam's Substack: https://samwhitfield.substack.com/Rumble: https://rumble.com/user/TheWhitfieldReport2nd YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@WhitfieldReportReloadedKick Channel: https://kick.com/whitfieldreportSam's Amazon Author Page: https://www.amazon.com/stores/Sam-Whitfield/author/B00M1DNU88?ref=ap_rdr&store_ref=ap_rdr&isDramIntegrated=true&shoppingPortalEnabled=trueSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4DIcoDO0BIDyuH7SWIsAB8?si=8c06106f817d4eebAmerican Instinct Pulp Adventures: https://americaninstinct.substack.comFollow Sam on X and Instagram @SamW_NGCFollow Right To Offend Media on X @RTOMediaBuy Me A Coffee: https://buymeacoffee.com/whitfieldreportAffiliate links:Sign up for Rumble: https://rumble.com/register/TheWhitfieldReport/

In this segment, Mark is joined by Frank Miele, a Retired Editor of The Daily Inter Lake in Montana and a Columnist for Real Clear Politics. He discusses his lack of optimism on President Trump's recent performance as well as his latest article which is titled, "We Can Fix Health Care: Here's the Plan."

Often the biggest transformations we undergo don't arrive as lightning bolts, but as quiet shifts we've been preparing for all along. For John Fox, the transformation from a 25-year career in high finance to becoming a chaplain wasn't sudden at all. It was a slow burn—shaped by loss, reflection, community, and a deep desire to live a more meaningful life.John's successful finance career spanned decades. To the world, he was thriving, but internally he yearned for fulfillment no paycheck could give him. After losing his mother, questioning the purpose of work, and rediscovering his spiritual roots, he began to sense that his life was preparing him for a very different kind of service. That path eventually led him to the Peace Corps, seminary, and finally chaplaincy—where he now spends his days sitting with people in hospitals, jails, shelters, and hospice care.In this conversation, John shares how you can slowly build a new life, why most of us struggle to talk about things we can't fix, and the human need to be seen by others. We also talk about community, discernment, loss, faith, and the power of listening without trying to change anything.His story is a reminder that life's meaning often reveals itself slowly… and that the pivots that change our lives most profoundly are the ones we've been preparing for all along.This is A Bit of Optimism.---------------------------To learn more about the Union Rescue Mission, visit their website at www.urm.orgAnd to check out John's congregation, head to www.newcitychurchla.com

On today's episode, host Kate Lindsay is joined by Gen Z expert and After School writer Casey Lewis to talk about how Gen Z TikTok users are switching up on Millennials. After years of mocking the generation for being “cringe” online, now people are longing to return to the 2010s and the culture that came with it. But were Millennials really as “optimistic” as the fancams make it seem? And what does Gen Z have, if anything, to be nostalgic about?  This podcast is produced by Vic Whitley-Berry, Daisy Rosario, and Kate Lindsay. Learn more about your ad choices.
