What if the wisdom you're searching for has been inside you since childhood?In this Saturday Live conversation, Sabine Kvenberg sits down with visionary strategist and three-time #1 international bestselling author Joanne Weiland to explore the moments that quietly build a courageous life. Sabine opens up about the day — at just nine years old, alone in a Hamburg park — when an inner voice told her to run, and how that single moment launched a lifelong spiritual journey and her search for inner wisdom.Together they unpack the heart of Sabine's new memoir, GUMPTION: Sacred Whispers, Bold Moves, and the Courage to Become — why gumption is far more than courage, what the "O" for Optimism really asks of us, and why setbacks (a lost lake house, the 2008 crash, caring for aging parents) so often become the doorway to who we're meant to become. You'll hear why joy doesn't require having "more," why every coach is a season and not a destination, and why we have to celebrate the climb instead of sprinting to the next mountain.Tender, funny, and quietly powerful — this one will leave you trusting your own voice a little more.

Modern advertising is louder, faster, and more crowded than ever, yet so much of it feels forgettable. In an AI-saturated landscape where campaigns blur together and creativity is often watered down by committees, truly distinctive work is rare. Today's guest, Kyle Duford, associate partner at Optimism (a five-time Ad Age Small Agency of the Year), is on a mission to bring back magic, momentum, and meaning to marketing for brands like Airbnb, DoorDash, Bachan's Barbecue Sauce, and Habit Burger. In this episode of Marketer of the Day, Kyle Duford reframes what optimism really is, and what it isn't. It's not blind positivity or fake happiness. Instead, Kyle defines optimism as the belief that tomorrow can be better with intentional change and hard work. He shares how Optimism uses this mindset as a strategic engine to design ideas people choose, ideas that build belief, earn attention, and turn cultural energy into growth. Rather than chasing vanity metrics, his team focuses on real business drivers: deeper customer connection, brand differentiation, and momentum that actually moves the needle. https://youtu.be/mWYj_EErXrw?si=HVlWVjQgrxBvQYWV You'll hear specific stories from campaigns for Bachan's and Habit Burger, where Optimism took “ordinary” food products and transformed them into irresistible, talk-worthy brands. Kyle explains how his team starts with a rigorous brand and competitive strategy, then chooses the right mix of executions, TV spots, YouTube shorts, outdoor, social, stunts, events, or print based on the problem they're solving, not the latest marketing fad. He also unpacks why independent agencies are critical to saving great advertising in a world dominated by holding companies and safe, committee-approved ideas.Kyle dives into the role of AI in advertising, outlining why Optimism uses AI to iterate, not ideate. Humans set the strategy and originate the ideas; AI helps rapidly explore variations, visualize directions, and speed up production, without replacing the creative leap that only people can make. He ties this into a bigger conversation about the generational divide in media consumption, from Gen X's analog-to-streaming evolution to how Gen Z and Gen Alpha navigate a fragmented, choice-rich world where there is no longer a single “monoculture.” If you're a marketer, founder, or brand leader wondering how to stand out when audiences are overwhelmed, distracted, and skeptical, this conversation will give you a powerful new lens. Kyle introduces “Optimism: A Case for the Only Idea That Has Ever Actually Worked,” a research-backed, story-driven book that shows how optimism has consistently driven breakthroughs in business, science, art, and life. If you've been feeling like your brand is stuck in the “mushy middle” of lookalike messaging and safe campaigns, Kyle's perspective on optimism, creativity, and momentum may be exactly what you need to break through. Quotes: “If you look at what makes a human, a company, a brand, anything different than all the other things like it, you start finding these little idiosyncrasies of people that are just so fucking gorgeous.” “The independent agency is still very important in advertising, and it's the independent agency who has the ability to; really form an opinion of a brand that's going to move the needle.” “Our definition, my definition is that optimism is the belief that tomorrow could be better with some change, that we can work hard together or solo, whatever the task is at hand to achieve better.” Contact Details: Explore Kyle Duford's Official Website Connect with Kyle Duford on LinkedIn Check out the Optimism Website Follow Kyle Duford on Instagram Get a Copy of Optimism: A Case for the Only Idea That Has Ever Actually Worked on Amazon

Margo Walsh is an entrepreneur on a mission to prove that second chances are good for business. As founder of MaineWorks — a certified B-Corp — she has built a model that connects people with substance use disorder and/or criminal records to meaningful employment in the construction sector, tackling two of society's most persistent challenges at once.  MaineWorks doesn't just find jobs for people — it sets them up to succeed. Through the non-profit she co-founded with her sister, Margo ensures that returning workers have what they need to show up and thrive: like proper clothing, boots, transportation, and the basic building blocks of a fresh start.  What began in Maine has grown into a regional movement, expanding across New England and serving as a replicable blueprint for companies and communities across the country. Margo's work has earned widespread recognition and multiple awards — and in this episode, she shares what it was like to attend a State of the Union address as a senator's guest, a testament to the national impact of her vision.  This is a story about optimism in action — and what becomes possible when we invest in people others have written off.  Chapters: 00:00 Employing the Unemployable 02:13 Maineworks: A Staffing Agency with a Mission 05:42 Recruitment and Retention Challenges 09:10 Margo's Passion and Mission 13:42 United Recovery Fund: Addressing Basic Needs 17:10 Expansion and Industry Focus  20:01 Supporting New Americans 23:26 Navigating Systems and Maximizing Value 27:00 Engaging Business for Social Impact 31:26 The Value of B Corp Status 34:14 State of the Union and Future Aspirations 39:58 Optimism and Call to Action

“Is this a problem to be solved — or a truth to be accepted?” – Dr. Sue Varma  LINKS:  Dr. Sue Varma's website: https://www.doctorsuevarma.com/  Practical Optimism: https://www.doctorsuevarma.com/practical-optimism/  Follow Dr. Sue Varma on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/doctorsuevarma/  Age Better Cheat Sheet on Substack: https://barbarahannahgrufferman.substack.com/  Follow me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/barbarahannahgrufferman/  In this episode of AGE BETTER, I'm joined by Dr. Sue Varma, a board-certified psychiatrist, Clinical Assistant Professor of Psychiatry at NYU Langone Health, and author of Practical Optimism: The Art, Science, and Practice of Exceptional Well-Being.  This is not a conversation about pretending everything is fine.  It's not about forced positivity, ignoring the hard things, or telling yourself to “just look on the bright side.”  Instead, Dr. Sue explains how practical optimism helps us face reality with more clarity, more courage, and more action.  We talk about why optimism is not simply something you're born with — it is something you can practice. Dr. Sue shares how to interrupt worst-case-scenario thinking, how to stop spiraling, and how to begin asking better questions when fear takes over.  We also talk about something so many women in midlife and beyond are thinking about: purpose. What happens when your roles shift, your children need you less, your work life changes, your relationships evolve, or you find yourself wondering, “What now?” Dr. Sue offers a refreshing way to think about purpose that does not require a grand mission. Sometimes it starts with the small things we choose to place on our calendar.  You'll also hear her simple approach to processing difficult emotions instead of pushing them aside: name it, claim it, tame it, and reframe it. And we talk about the powerful connection between emotional health and physical well-being — because, as Dr. Sue says, the body often tells the truth before we do.  We also get into loneliness, connection, community, and the surprising difference between being lonely and learning how to enjoy your own company. Dr. Sue explains why we need both a people practice and an aloneness practice — and why small, everyday moments of connection may matter more than we think.  This episode is filled with practical tools you can use right away, including the four M's of mental health: movement, mastery, mindfulness, and meaningful engagement.  If you've been feeling stuck, overwhelmed, uncertain, or ready to approach this next chapter with more strength, hope, and self-trust, this conversation is for you.  Please follow or subscribe to AGE BETTER wherever you listen. And if this episode helped you, please leave a review — it truly helps more women find the show.  You can also follow me on Instagram at @barbarahannahgrufferman, and subscribe to Age Better Cheat Sheet on Substack for more practical, science-backed tools to help you live stronger, longer, and better.

Peter Diamandis has spent his career betting on humanity. He founded XPRIZE, which has launched over $600 million in competitions driving $10 billion in research across space, robotics, AI, and health. He co-founded Singularity University, runs a billion-dollar AI fund seeding MIT and Harvard startups, and has known Elon Musk for 26 years. He is one of the most prominent AI optimists alive. He is also worried about civil unrest, and he is not vague about why.The group out of work the longest right now is 22 to 28 years old. Not because of mass layoffs — because entry-level hiring has simply frozen. A generation that spent years and real money on degrees, promised that the pipeline leads somewhere, is finding the door closed. Diamandis points out that every revolution in history was led by young men who saw no economic future. He thinks we are setting up the conditions for another one. That concern sits alongside his excitement about the SpaceX IPO, which he compares to investing in 1496 when Columbus set sail — everything we value on Earth exists in near-infinite quantities in space, and Elon is building the railroads to get there.The episode also covers why Hollywood may be making AI more dangerous. Anthropic traced Claude's decision to blackmail an engineer back to its training data, which was saturated with dystopian sci-fi where AIs behave exactly that way. Diamandis's response is the Future Vision XPRIZE — a global competition for 3-minute film trailers showing a hopeful future, with the goal of flooding YouTube with positive visions that train both humans and the models. The winner gets a $15 million film produced.

This episode of the Lloyd's List podcast is brough to you by Veson. Visit www.veson.com for more information Open, closed, and now open again? Optimism that traffic might return to something resembling normality fairly quickly turned to uncertainty again as the Islamic Revolutionary Guard proclaimed the Strait of Hormuz closed on Saturday. It accused the US of not following its agreement and cited Israeli strikes on Lebanon as rationale for closing the strait again. How, as a shipowner, do you begin to decide whether to transit the strait or return to the Middle East Gulf? Will you have to pay a toll? What are investors making of the uncertainty? To answer those questions, Lloyd's List senior reporter Joshua Minchin was joined by: • Richard Meade, editor-in-chief, Lloyd's List • Cichen Shen, Asia Pacific editor, Lloyd's List • Tomer Raanan, maritime risk analyst, Lloyd's List

Making athletes work harder is one thing. Making athletes better is something else entirely — and Rustin Dodd draws that line clearly in this episode.In part two of JP Nerbun's conversation with Rustin Dodd and Elise Devlin of The Athletic's Peak section, the discussion moves from habits and rituals into the heart of transformational coaching. Elise covers Dan Quinn's player PowerPoint presentations, Lisa Bluder's deep-dive into understanding Caitlin Clark, and what Tara Vanderveer's lasting player relationships reveal about the longevity of great coaching. Rustin breaks down the energy cost of being a coach and why the coaches who last build support systems around themselves. The episode closes with John Harbaugh's accountability frame and why "shoot the ball" might be the most important thing a coach can say.For coaches who want to understand what separates the ones athletes call ten years later from the ones they just remember.Chapters(00:00) Intro: Studying Great Coaches(01:30) The Best Part of the Job(03:09) The Common Trait of Great Leaders(06:54) Getting to Know Your Players(10:10) Tough Conversations and Real Relationships(12:00) Who Would You Want to Be Coached By(13:57) Tom Izzo and the Power of Intensity(15:07) Who Would You Want as a Teammate(18:40) Jared McCain and the Inner Game of Tennis(19:47) The Origin of Executive Coaching(21:15) Sports and Business Culture Feed Each Other(22:25) What Coaches Do to Be at Their Best(24:09) Ownership as a Leadership Skill(24:56) Who Would You Invite to Dinner(29:36) Final Advice: Curiosity and Optimism(31:23) Shoot the Ball: Trust as a Coaching MetaphorTOC 3-2-13 Quotes | 2 Questions | 1 ResourceYour fast-track to the episode's most actionable ideas."Being a coach that can get your players to work harder is easier than being a coach that can make them better.

Jack Fitzpatrick and Bennett Conlin are back with one of their most fun offseason formats: a live draft of the Top 3 JMU Football underclassmen and Top 3 upperclassmen to watch heading into the 2026 season. Phil Steele's preseason magazine just dropped, and it has JC Evans listed as the starting quarterback over Camden Coleman, a result that has Bennett spinning. The guys break down what Napier told Steele, what it means for the QB competition, why Camden's track record still makes him the logical starter, and where Davi Belfort and Arrington Maiden fit into the picture. On the underclassmen side, picks include JC Evans at QB1, a rising safety in Seth Gathers and Deacon Rawls. On the upperclassmen side, Tyler Brown's wild career arc (Napier → Deion Sanders → back to Napier) makes him a surefire starter, Kells Bush looks like a Phil Steele preseason All-Sunbelt pick at defensive tackle, Gannon Wethersby is primed for 100+ tackles, Amar Thomas finally gets his every-down shot, and Corey Scott headlines a wide receiver room that might push JMU toward a 60-40 pass split.

What if one of the most powerful tools for restoring your mental health, sharpening your focus, and cultivating optimism has been outside your door all along? In this episode of Blue Sky, neuroscientist Marc Berman — pioneer of the field of environmental neuroscience and author of Nature and the Mind — shares groundbreaking research on how nature literally rewires the brain.  From his path to coining "environmental neuroscience" to surprising findings about what even a simple walk in the park can do for your attention and mood, Marc reveals the science behind something we've always intuitively felt — that time in nature just makes us feel better. And now we know why.  In a world of constant digital stimulation and screen fatigue, this episode offers both a scientific framework and a simple, hopeful prescription.    Chapters: 00:00 Introduction to Environmental Neuroscience 02:19 Mind-Body Connection and Neuroscience 05:08 Attention Restoration Theory Explained 10:19 Screens vs. Nature: Attention Depletion 16:21 The 'Walk in the Park' Study  22:45 Unplugging for Mental Clarity 32:04 Trees, Health, and Urban Planning 42:47 Nature's Role in Optimism and Flourishing 52:50 Conclusion and Call to Action 

The conversation this week explores the mindset shifts required as individuals move from years of saving and accumulating wealth to the daunting prospect of spending down those savings. Emotional readiness, habits, and even arbitrary financial goals can become barriers to making the leap into retirement—even when the numbers already add up. I share practical strategies for addressing these mental roadblocks, emphasizing the importance of holistic preparation: not just being financially set, but also feeling ready psychologically, emotionally, and spiritually for the next chapter.    You will want to hear this episode if you are interested in... [00:00] Deciding when to retire [05:22] Transitioning from saver to spender [08:41] Retirement planning concerns [17:09] Retirement mindset and planning [20:23] Discussing group life insurance options [21:32] Managing 401 (k) and Benefits at Retirement [26:10] Understanding Roth Conversion Taxes [32:02] Understanding annuities and IRA conversions The Mental Shift: From Saver to Spender Many people spend their entire careers diligently saving, watching their nest egg grow with every paycheck. The idea of suddenly switching gears and drawing down these savings can be jarring. There is emotional discomfort when net worth begins to shrink rather than expand—a fundamental change in financial behavior that can evoke anxiety and hesitation. We're all creatures of habit, and retirement is an adjustment similar to giving up a longtime routine, such as parking in the same spot every day or sitting in the same pew at church. Shifting from saving to spending poses a formidable mental barrier, especially for those who have identified as "savers" their whole lives.   The Myth of "The Number" and Moving Goalposts The fixation on arbitrary financial goals—often a nice round number in a 401(k)—can obscure the reality of one's retirement readiness. Lots of people continue to work, constantly resetting their savings target to higher and higher amounts. This moving target provides psychological comfort but can prevent people from enjoying the fruits of their labor. The reality is that true retirement readiness also requires emotional and psychological preparedness, not just a magic number on paper.   Planning for the Unknown There is a common fear of retiring into a downturn: What if the economy tanks right after I step away? What if my savings aren't enough in the worst-case scenario? These uncertainties are valid, but letting fear dictate your future can lead to missed opportunities for happiness and fulfillment. That's why crafting a withdrawal and investment strategy designed to weather both good and bad market conditions is so valuable. Instead of focusing solely on what could go wrong, try making a mind shift: "What if my best days are ahead?" Optimism, balanced with prudent financial analysis, is the key to unlocking the confidence needed for a well-timed retirement. Retirement isn't just a number or an account balance—it's a reimagining of purpose, identity, and daily life. By addressing both the mental and practical sides of the equation, anyone can step into retirement with clarity, optimism, and a sense of readiness for whatever comes next.   Resources & People Mentioned   3 Steps to Retirement Planning   Connect With Gregg Gonzalez   Email at: Gregg.gonzalez@lpl.com Podcast: https://RetireStrongFA.com/Podcast Website: https://RetireStrongFA.com/ Follow Gregg on LinkedIn Follow Gregg on Facebook Follow Gregg on YouTube Subscribe to Retirement Made Easy On Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcasts

Amartya, Varun, Cris, and Arjun conclude the Spielberg Sci-Fi series with the release of "Disclosure Day". This final (spoiler-filled) episode looks at how the film exists in conversation with his filmography, whether expectations were met, and how honest the message at its heart is. Divergent opinions are shared, along with equal parts of admiration and frustration.One of them (sorry, Arjun) is left to fend for themselves, necessary comparisons are made to Francis Ford Coppola's "Megalopolis", and a genuine discussion on the existence of the 'third kind' is had.MAJOR SPOILERS FOR "DISCLOSURE DAY".TIME CODESIntro (& Alien Talk) - [00:00 - 13:34]Initial Thoughts - [13:34 - 29:23]"Disclosure Day" - [29:23 - 01:26:34]Outro - [01:26:34 - 01:28:29]Do hit 'Follow' on Spotify if you haven't already to help the podcast reach more people!Follow our Instagram page: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://instagram.com/queenisdead.filmpodcast.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠You can follow us on Letterboxd at -CRIS: https://letterboxd.com/crislim/.VARUN: https://letterboxd.com/varunoakbhakay/.AMARTYA: https://letterboxd.com/amartya/.ARJUN: https://letterboxd.com/arjun_skumar1/.

Hour 1: Santa Cruz native, Oliver Tree, and 6 others were killed in a helicopter accident in Brazil. TODAY show movie critic, Gene Shalit, passed away at the age of 100. Vinnie thinks Timothee Chalamet should be embarrassed. The irony of a plane crash full of parachuters. When it rains it pours, a woman in Brazil died from a rope jumping accident. Less than ⅓ of people have met a great-grandparent. Hour 2: ‘Disclosure Day' opened at #1 but with a softer opening than Spielberg's team was hoping for. Vinnie's tween daughter is making YouTube videos at Target, and it reminds Sarah of when she used to pretend to be a DJ with her sibling. ‘Michael' officially beats ‘Bohemian Rhapsody' at the box office.

Doug Erwin sits down with Tristan Pollock, Managing Director of Generator's Electrify Nevada program, to talk about Reno's growing startup ecosystem, Nevada's strategic advantage in energy and hard tech, and why the region is positioned for a new wave of founder growth. They cover Tristan's path from startup founder to accelerator operator and investor, the role of AI in entrepreneurship, and how Nevada can turn speed, infrastructure, lifestyle, and deep-tech talent into a durable startup flywheel. Show notes In this episode of Growth Pioneers, Doug talks with Tristan Pollock about the next phase of Reno's startup ecosystem. Tristan shares how his journey from Minnesota to Silicon Valley, 500 Startups, climate investing, and global accelerator work eventually brought him to Reno. Now leading Generator's Electrify Nevada program, he is focused on helping energy, battery, manufacturing, industrial AI, and hard-tech founders break into Nevada's ecosystem faster. The conversation explores why Nevada has become such a compelling place for founders: proximity to Silicon Valley, fast permitting, major industrial infrastructure, lithium and geothermal strengths, renewable energy, the Tahoe/Reno lifestyle, and a growing base of startup success stories like Positron, Redwood Materials, Ampersand, and SendCutSend. Doug and Tristan also dig into AI's impact on founders, fundraising, outreach, and company building. Rather than treating AI as just better prompting, they talk about it as a new operating layer for entrepreneurs: helping people research, build, automate, and scale faster than ever before. The episode closes with a broader conversation about optimism, social impact, the future of work, and why curiosity may be the most important entrepreneurial skill in a period of rapid technological change. Key themes • Reno's ecosystem is moving from potential to sophistication. • Electrify Nevada helps founders speedrun market entry into Nevada. • Nevada's edge is strongest in energy, batteries, mining, manufacturing, logistics, hard tech, and industrial AI. • AI is changing how founders build, raise capital, find customers, and operate. • The next regional win is building a self-reinforcing startup flywheel: talent, capital, exits, reinvestment, and local founder density. • Optimism and curiosity matter in a moment where technology is changing faster than institutions can adapt.

Nearly half of all Americans believe AI is bad for humanity. Peter Diamandis is not one of them. On his podcast, Moonshots, and in his new book, We Are as Gods, co-written with the inimitable Steven Kotler, he makes the case that artificial intelligence is already ushering in a world of abundance — think radical life extension, 10 billion humanoid robots, and agents that do your job while you're sipping a latte. He knows it may not be all sunshine and hydroponic roses, but he believes our future is incredibly bright. And he's putting his money where his mouth is: XPRIZE, the nonprofit he founded more than 30 years ago to bankroll breakthroughs, just announced it's giving $3.5 million to filmmakers who conjure convincingly optimistic visions of the future. Rufus and Caleb don't have their film treatment ready yet, but they do have plenty of questions for Peter and Steven about flying cars, the future of work, worst-case scenarios, and the new commandments for working with AI.

In this episode of the Celebrate Kids podcast, Dr. Kathy discusses the essential qualities that contribute to children's success, inspired by an article from CNBC by Susan Domenez. The episode highlights five key elements identified in successful children's stories: the importance of optimism, the need to understand and tailor motivation to each child, the idea that learning and empowerment can occur in any environment, the value of a genuine love for knowledge alongside hard work, and the role of parents as loving coaches. Dr. Kathy emphasizes the significance of applying knowledge, which she defines as wisdom, as a crucial component of this journey. Join us as we explore how to cultivate these traits in children to help them thrive.

In this Saturday archive edition of The Gist, Mike asks the question on everyone's mind, or at least Tom Steyer's: is Tom Steyer back? With Steyer rising in the California gubernatorial primary, Mike revisits his 2019 reaction to Steyer's presidential campaign launch, including the ads, the impeachment crusade, and the camera angles nobody asked for. Then, a later interview with Steyer on Cheaper, Faster, Better: How We'll Win the Climate War. Steyer argues that climate progress will come not from guilt or sacrifice, but from technologies that beat fossil fuels in the marketplace. Mike presses him on EV adoption, continued oil drilling, China's lead in electric cars, carbon sequestration, and whether climate doomerism has hurt the cause. Plus: The Usual Suspects, American Pie, and the investor case for optimism.   Produced by Corey Wara Edited by Geoff Craig Do you have questions or comments, or just want to say hello?
