Episode Summary Is the traditional Silicon Valley startup model harming the security industry? In this episode of The Secure Developer, Danny Allan talks with Melanie Rieback, founder of Radically Open Security, about shaking up the industry with nonprofit business models. Tuning in, you'll learn about the inner workings of Radically Open Security as a non-profit organization and the positive impact its donations have had on the open source ecosystem.We discuss the benefits of a steward-ownership business model, why it pairs so well with open source, and its power to reform venture capital and align incentives with long-term sustainability. For those interested in diving deeper, Melanie shares resources from her startup incubator, Nonprofit Ventures, and her free online Post Growth Entrepreneurship course. Tune in to learn why reforming our business models is vital for preserving and protecting our open source ecosystem and, by extension, security! Show NotesIn this episode, Snyk CTO Danny Allan chats with Dr. Melanie Rieback, founder of Radically Open Security, about her journey from academia and pen testing to founding a cybersecurity company with a radically different business model. Melanie shares the motivations behind creating a not-for-profit organization that donates 90% of its profits to the NLnet Foundation, supporting open source and digital rights initiatives. They discuss the discontent with traditional cybersecurity business practices, including lack of transparency and ethical concerns like selling zero-days.Melanie explains Radically Open Security's structure, operating as a collective primarily using contractors, and how this model has allowed them to grow to 50 people while serving major clients and offering pro-bono work for nonprofits and critical open source projects like the Tor Project and Tails. The conversation then broadens to discuss alternative business models like steward ownership, where profit rights are separated from voting rights, aiming to lock value within the company and prevent mission drift often caused by traditional VC funding.They explore the concept of "Post Growth Entrepreneurship," which Melanie teaches, focusing on non-extractive business models and reforming finance itself. The discussion touches upon whether the tech industry, particularly open source, is moving towards more sustainable and ethical models, citing examples like Signal, Proton, Mastodon, and Mozilla. Melanie emphasizes that the culture of open source developers is often inherently altruistic, not greedy, but can be compromised by traditional funding systems. Finally, Melanie offers resources for listeners interested in learning more about these alternative models.LinksRadically Open SecurityRadically Open Security on LinkedInNLnet FoundationNonprofit VenturesPost Growth Entrepreneurship CourseSnyk - The Developer Security Company Follow UsOur WebsiteOur LinkedIn

In this Episode: The podcast episode of "Achieve Results Now" with hosts Mark Cardone and Theron Feidt focuses on cultivating an "ownership mentality" as a means to improve one's life and the world around them. Inspired by Earth Day, the discussion emphasizes that making a larger impact begins with taking responsibility for one's immediate surroundings and actions, rather than waiting for someone else to do it or only doing what is explicitly required. The hosts argue that this ownership mentality is a matter of character and attitude, setting a positive example for others, particularly for parents guiding their children. They push back against the notion of only doing what one is paid for, suggesting that going above and beyond, taking initiative, and looking for ways to add value makes individuals more valuable in their careers and relationships. While acknowledging that not all environments may reward this, they contend that developing this mindset ultimately benefits the individual's character, self-esteem, and long-term worth. They use relatable examples, like picking up trash or a child not being able to find their shoes, to illustrate the difference between doing the bare minimum and taking full ownership of a situation. The "magic question," "What else can I do?", is presented as a key driver for identifying opportunities to contribute beyond the basic requirements. The podcast concludes with three action items listeners can implement to develop their ownership mentality: 1.     Pick up a piece of trash every day: This can be taken literally, by physically picking up litter, or figuratively, by tidying one's personal space or addressing negative thoughts. The emphasis is on taking small, consistent actions. 2.     Ask the magic question: "What else can I do?": This encourages listeners to actively look for additional ways to contribute or improve a situation, whether at home, work, or in their relationships, going beyond their perceived obligations. 3.     Create a win log: Regularly noting down accomplishments and positive impacts helps individuals recognize the results of their actions and reinforces the benefits of taking ownership and going the extra mile. It also serves as a reminder of effective behaviors.

Sadly I cannot respond directly to your text, so please Email me!This Episode, I'm diving deep into one of the best blog posts I've ever read about Female-Led Relationships—The Cheese, written by John Dalton on the Dom Think Tank blog.It's real, raw, and totally validated a lot of what I've lived through in this journey: the struggle, the guilt, the overwhelm, and ultimately… the unbelievable confidence that grows when a woman finally owns her space in a relationship.

I found a super impactful reminder from Simon Sinek, where he reminded us that: “The goal is not to be perfect by the end. The goal is to be better today.” Powerful reminder about not only that “perfect” isn't attainable, but also that we can't do much about the past & future - we have the present moment to focus on and do something with. For me, this got me thinking about beating myself up less and offering myself a bit more grace - as I keep trying to move forward. Little wins mean a lot each and every day!! That's all we need to focus on, or at least try.

Found a great lesson, a powerful reminder - and once again it's coming from a former student of mine. From Coach Ray Ostrowski (@CoachRayO3313) Where he gave us some of his thoughts: “Complacency is the enemy of progress. We cannot grow satisfied with what we did yesterday & expect to be better tomorrow. It's about the work you put in right now. If you truly want to be special, you have to be willing to sacrifice today! The cost for success is always increasing.” He shared a quote too that connects with his thoughts and again, remind all of us that we have some choices that we can make for ourselves that will tremendously help ourselves too.  Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/   on Twitter / “X”:  @coachtosuccess   and on Instagram at:  @coachjohndaly  - My YouTube Channel is at: Coach John Daly.   Email me at: CoachJohnDalyPodcast@gmail.com     You can also head on over to https://www.coachtoexpectsuccess.com/ and get in touch with me there on my homepage along with checking out my Top Book list too.  Other things there on my site are being worked on too.  Please let me know that you are reaching out to me from my podcast.

In this episode of The Urban Lives of Property, Markus Kip and Hanna Hilbrandt speak with Heather Dorries, about the intersections of settler colonialism and racial capitalism in urban property regimes. Drawing on Dorries' recent publications and her wider expertise on property, Indigeneity, and urbanism the episode centers the ways in which planning practices contribute to Indigenous dispossession while also serving as a site of resistance and assertions of sovereignty. We foreground three themes: First, the conversation addresses planning's complicity in processes of dispossession, examining how legal frameworks and land sales have historically undermined Indigenous political authority. This discussion delves into Dorries research on Brantford on how nuisance bylaws work as mechanisms that uphold white privilege. Second and more conceptually, we discuss tensions between and productive conversations emerging from combining the analytical lenses of settler colonialism and the lens of racial capitalism. Finally, Dorries reflects on Indigenous conceptions of property and alternative terminologies that better capture Indigenous relationships to land, emphasizing co-dependence and collective stewardship.

What's the real difference between accountability and ownership—and why does it matter so much in leadership and teams?  In this episode, Kate and Ryan unpack the often-blurred lines between these two powerful concepts.  From missed healthcare appointments to product backlog chaos, they share real stories, relatable moments, and practical insights on how to build a culture where people step up, follow through, and own the outcomes—not just the tasks.  Whether you're a team member, manager, or executive, this episode will challenge how you think about responsibility, initiative, and impact.

In this session, drawing from Luke 12 and his own life, Brant explores Jesus' teachings about wealth, worry, and radical generosity. Greed, Brant reminds us, is sneaky—it doesn't announce itself, and it's not just a “rich people problem.” The takeaway? You don't need to own beautiful things to enjoy them, and you don't have to clutch what you have—because you're partnering with a generous God. Follow along with this sessions slides/notes!

In the second half of his conversation, Collin Plume moves beyond financial products into financial legacy—sharing how Gen Xers can teach resilience, ownership, and critical thinking to the next generation. From diversifying income streams to protecting family futures with real assets, Collin reveals why wealth isn't about a flashy portfolio—it's about building something that lasts, even when systems shift. For Gen Xers tired of flashy advice and ready to raise wiser, stronger humans, this episode delivers the quiet tools for lifelong financial independence.>>Inflation, Instability, and the Fight for Financial Control“Gold has kept up with the cost of living for over 150 years.”Collin explains why owning tangible assets isn't just smart investing—it's a fight for personal freedom and future-proofing your life against system shocks.>>Diversification Isn't Optional Anymore“The mistake isn't just losing—it's being stuck in one idea forever.”He shares why today's market demands diversified thinking, constant learning, and rejecting loyalty to any one asset class—including real estate.>>Retirement Will Never Look the Same“People aren't retiring—they're reworking life.”Collin talks about the shifting realities of work, aging, and how side gigs, flexible income, and purpose-driven work are rewriting retirement for Gen X and beyond.>>The Rise—and Risk—of Finfluencers“Algorithms reward appeal, not expertise.”He calls out the dangers of taking financial advice from unverified influencers, and why critical thinking is the real currency in today's information economy.>>Teaching Kids the Real Value of Money“Experience and education over stuff.”Collin shares how he's raising his three kids to value assets over toys, experiences over things, and knowledge over hype—with gold and silver as real-world teaching tools.______________________Connect with us:Host: Vince Chan | Guest: Collin Plume  --Chief Change Officer--Change Ambitiously.

Saw a great post that for sure connects with me and maybe others too.  Power of Positivity (@LIVEpositivity) reminds us to keep this in mind: “I am slowly becoming the person I should've been a long time ago.”  It's a reminder to just keep going. Just keep trying. To not get down knowing that maybe we are not doing things we said we're going to do, wanted to do, promised to do, etc. Powerful stuff for me and maybe for you.

Just about everyone is looking to be a bit more happy in life and I am one of those people. Just saw a post from liminal (@Liminal1988) where they shared this: “A big part of being happy is being excited. Be excited for everything - making a cup of tea, seeing a friend, the next episode of your favorite show, buying something you've been saving up for, sunsets, traveling, falling in love. Live a life you are excited about.” This got me thinking about a lot of things to get excited about in my life. A cup of coffee, doing this podcast, spending time with my wife and family & friends, etc. This also got me thinking about John O'Leary's interview with Carlos Whittaker - where they have a great conversation on the lost art of having a real connection to our lives! A big part of being happy is discussed in this episode. Find it on John's site HERE. You can also watch it live on Youtube HERE. Amazing connections in this episode with this post that I found. I urge you to take some time to listen to this episode from John O'Leary and also to follow him - the man is an authentic difference maker.  Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/   on Twitter / “X”:  @coachtosuccess   and on Instagram at:  @coachjohndaly  - My YouTube Channel is at: Coach John Daly.   Email me at: CoachJohnDalyPodcast@gmail.com     You can also head on over to https://www.coachtoexpectsuccess.com/ and get in touch with me there on my homepage along with checking out my Top Book list too.  Other things there on my site are being worked on too.  Please let me know that you are reaching out to me from my podcast.

Todays episode is a special one as have David F. Walker Co-Creator of Bitter Root and Author of The Black Panther Party: A Graphic Novel History as he brings his latest project to life on Kickstarter. An Homage to the Great Donald Goines with the Death of Bobby Hart. Donald Goines was a literary movement in a genre aptly known as Street Literature and unfortunately was killed in 1974. A cautionary tale of a writer who was completely unfiltered in his tellings of black life in the early 70's. David brings this to life with the help of Dietrich Smith, Chris Johnson, and Chris Sotomayor. We speak on a time when Blaxploitation grew in popularity in cinema but it wasn't always as reserved and served in Literature as well. David tells in this book in the portrayal as Bobby although widely popular and creating close 6-7 books in one year was also addicted to heroin and how this may have caught up with him. As with Bobby Hart, Donald Goines company who published his books was called the Holloway House and brought not only Goines, but Iceberg Slim, and a consistent open door to black writers.Later in the Pod, we talk about the continuation of his most popular work Bitter Root that after 15 issues or 16 if you count Red Summer Special brings the Gang back together in Chuck Brown and Sanford Greene to produce Bitter Root the Next Movement for Image Comics. To which then David speaks on Ownership and something that is constantly lacking at Marvel and DC and the realization to continue to publish creator owned franchise IP's that he chooses to do and how to move.The Death of Bobby Hart is now Live on KickstarterSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/the-faqs-project-hosted-by-james-grandmaster-faqs-boyce/donations

What defines an independent podcaster? Today, our discussion centers around a few core questions: Is it creative control, full ownership, team structure, or a combination of these? We dissect the concept of podcasting independence, which was inspired by our recent discussion surrounding Steven Bartlett's decision to turn down a $100M deal to preserve creative control of his show Diary of a CEO. While having an insightful discussion and sharing experiences, we uncover the blurred lines between autonomy, sponsorship, and network affiliations, ultimately still asking: Can financial success and true creative independence coexist?Episode Highlights: [02:08] A Co-Host's Return and Personal Journey[05:08] Mental Health Awareness Discussion[11:59] Defining Independent Podcasting[33:19] Negotiating Creative Control[33:48] Call Her Daddy Podcast Journey[35:37] Ownership and Independence[37:36] Defining Independent Podcasters[42:38] Creative Control and Sponsorship[50:00] Defining Corporate Podcasters​​Links & Resources: The Podcasting Morning Chat: www.podpage.com/pmcJoin The Empowered Podcasting Facebook Group:www.facebook.com/groups/empoweredpodcasting⁠Diary of a CEO: https://stevenbartlett.com/doac/Mental Health Rewritten: https://directory.libsyn.com/shows/view/id/35ad4bf7-5053-460d-83af-01056c7c5feaWhy The Diary Of A CEO Founder Turned Down A $100M Deal To Build A Podcast Empire: https://www.forbes.com/sites/alexyork/2025/04/19/why-the-diary-of-a-ceo-founder-turned-down-a-100m-deal-to-build-a-podcast-empire/Remember to rate, follow, share, and review our podcast.

Time to “Buckle Down”I was talking to a client today, and we discussed the opportunity to resolve a major problem in their business that needed attention. The tone of the team and the discussion centered around the idea that now was the time for them to “Buckle down, get to work, roll up their sleeves, and make sacrifices for a little while to resolve the issue.”I questioned the idea that this time was any different than before, and I wondered (with them) about what they were really getting at in this moment. Is it that the team isn't really working hard? Is it that the team isn't working on the right things?What makes this time truly different than other times?What does self-sacrifice mean to you? What is your connection between self-sacrifice and success? Are they linked?I cautioned that self-sacrifice, a common trait among entrepreneurs, works to drive towards goals and is also unsustainable. The Drawbacks of Self-SacrificeWhen the setup for success is based on self-sacrifice…You are thinking short term: Your focus is only on immediate fires, and being the hero to save the latest one. You lose perspective for your larger vision in pursuit of short-term fixes. You lose sense of who you are and what you want: Self-sacrifice is based on “giving up” part of you for a cause. Do the causes you truly care about mean giving up yourself in the process? There will always be more things to sacrifice for: There is always a new issue, fire, or problem that needs to be handled, and the more used to using the fire alarm as an incentive to act, the more you begin to rely on it. Self-sacrifice is Unsustainable: It drains your reserves, leaving you to lack the resources for the long game. It only works for so long, leads to burnout or team problems.Crossing the Finish LineIn Olympic Skiing, it's not just the person who finishes first who wins the race. It's the person who didn't get injured and was able to compete that day. You can't win if you can't compete tomorrow. Winners win sustainably over the long haul. Ownership, Choice, FreedomYou want to watch for the tone and energy of self-sacrifice on your teams. Other people will try and impose their need for it as fuel. If a team operates under the idea of self-sacrifice, it will create disconnection and isolation, preventing the development of a collaborative team environment characterized by connection, support, and even enjoyment while solving significant issues.You might think back to a time when you achieved something without self-sacrifice. If you can think of one, then maybe these things are not as linked as they initially appear. Desire, excitement, team-work, responsibility, vision… these are all great motivators. When you pursue things from these motivations, you are less likely to put yourself in the frame of mind that this is “hard” and requires you to give up parts of yourself to get it.Yes, there is work to be done. Also, it will take the long-term sustainable path of consistently showing up to work which will help resolve it, not short-term heroism.

Did you know there's a way to tap into your home's equity for tax-free cash—without having to make monthly payments? It's true.It's called a Home Equity Conversion Mortgage, or HECM—what many of you know as a reverse mortgage. But today's reverse mortgage isn't what it used to be. Harlan Accola is here to help us unpack how they work and whether one might be right for you.Harlan Accola is the National Reverse Mortgage Director at Movement Mortgage, an underwriter of Faith and Finance. He is also the author of Home Equity and Reverse Mortgages: The Cinderella of the Baby Boomer Retirement. What's Changed? A Safer, Regulated OptionWhen you hear the phrase reverse mortgage, you might think of outdated financial tools with a bad reputation. However, home equity conversion mortgages (HECMs) significantly differ from those in the past.Reverse mortgages today are not the “Wild West” products of decades past. Since major reforms were enacted during President Reagan's term in 1988, HECMs are now heavily regulated under the Federal Housing Administration (FHA).No one can lose their house or have it taken away, provided they're working with a reputable lender and stay in the home while meeting basic obligations. Ownership doesn't change, and homeowners are protected.These changes addressed the risks that once made reverse mortgages controversial. Now, with strict oversight, they provide a reliable option for seniors wanting to tap into their home equity without selling.Are Reverse Mortgage Interest Rates Too High?It's a common misconception that reverse mortgage interest rates are significantly higher than traditional mortgages. But that comparison isn't apples to apples. Interest rates on HECMs are actually tied to the 10-year Treasury rate and are heavily regulated.Right now, interest rates for reverse mortgages are about the same as traditional mortgages—around 6.5%. This means homeowners aren't sacrificing much, if anything, in interest when compared to forward mortgages.What About Costs and Obligations?The closing costs for reverse mortgages are nearly identical to traditional mortgages, with one key difference: the addition of FHA mortgage insurance.This insurance offers three essential guarantees:You can remain in your home as long as you want (up to age 150!).Thanks to non-recourse debt protections, you will never owe more than the home's value.Your heirs won't be left with a bill.Yes, this insurance adds about 2% of the home's value to the upfront costs, but it's well worth it—just like homeowner's insurance is worth it if your house burns down.What Happens When the Borrower Passes Away?A major concern many have is what happens to the home after the homeowner dies or permanently moves out.The key is proper planning. Without a will or trust in place, any mortgage—reverse or traditional—can create problems for heirs. In most cases, the home is simply sold, and any remaining equity belongs to the heirs. For instance, if the reverse mortgage balance were $100,000 on a $400,000 home, the heirs would receive the remaining $300,000.Sometimes, grandchildren may want to keep the home, in which case they can buy out other heirs. Either way, the process can be managed with clear planning.Flexible Payout OptionsOne of the most attractive features of a HECM is its flexibility. Homeowners can choose to receive their funds in a variety of ways:A lump sumA line of creditMonthly income paymentsOr even a combination of these optionsThe big idea? Your home is not just a place to live—it's also a financial asset that can be used strategically, especially in retirement.Every financial situation is different. However, a reverse mortgage could be a wise part of a broader financial plan for older homeowners. When used correctly, it offers flexibility, security, and peace of mind without jeopardizing their home.Visit Movement.com/Faith to learn more about reverse mortgages or speak directly with Harlan Accola at Movement Mortgage.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:My husband has taken a new job, and we have been contributing to an HSA. He wants to contribute $1,000 a month to the HSA. We still own a home and are nearing retirement age. Should we work on paying off the home or continue to put dollars into the HSA?A week or two ago, I caught part of your program about freezing credit scores. I didn't catch the whole explanation. We've never really taken out loans except for our first house 45 years ago. Is there any downside to freezing my credit?I recently received a large amount of money from a dear loved one who passed away in January. I know I'm going to tithe and pay taxes on the amount. I have an appointment with my bank to set up a CD account, but I want to know what other types of investments I can make with the money. I just want to make sure I'm doing the right thing.Resources Mentioned:Faithful Steward: FaithFi's New Quarterly MagazineMovement MortgageBankrate.comChristian Community Credit Union (CCCU)Wisdom Over Wealth: 12 Lessons from Ecclesiastes on Money (Pre-Order)Look At The Sparrows: A 21-Day Devotional on Financial Fear and AnxietyRich Toward God: A Study on the Parable of the Rich FoolFind a Certified Kingdom Advisor (CKA) or Certified Christian Financial Counselor (CertCFC)FaithFi App Remember, you can call in to ask your questions most days at (800) 525-7000.

Saw an amazingly accurate post from Seek Wiser (@SeekWiser_) where this thought was shared:  “You become unstoppable when you work on things people can't take away from you.  Things like your character, habits, mindset, and attitude.” This connected with me in a very direct way this morning as I was reflecting on things to start my day. Reading some things that help get my day started in a positive direction and allows me to try and continue to focus on my burn / purpose for getting things done and creating things to help others (along with myself.) An overwhelming feeling and connection to this post, was from Mitch Albom's book, “Tuesdays With Morrie”, where Morrie (Mitch's college professor), shared this (paraphrased) thought: “Why would I take all the time? Taking makes me feel like I'm dying. Giving makes me feel like I'm Living!”  I want to keep becoming unstoppable and things like this thought, helps me to at least have my best shot at doing just that!  Join me in not jumping in any mud-pits today!!  Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/   on Twitter / “X”:  @coachtosuccess   and on Instagram at:  @coachjohndaly  - My YouTube Channel is at: Coach John Daly.   Email me at: CoachJohnDalyPodcast@gmail.com     You can also head on over to https://www.coachtoexpectsuccess.com/ and get in touch with me there on my homepage along with checking out my Top Book list too.  Other things there on my site are being worked on too.  Please let me know that you are reaching out to me from my podcast.

Are you empowering others or unleashing agency? In this episode, Judith Katz and Fred Miller join Kevin to discuss the role of agency in the workplace. While autonomy and authority are often topics of discussion, agency — the ability for all individuals, regardless of their role or tenure, to possess power, influence, and a voice — is crucial for high-performance organizations. They explain how organizational cultures often "smother" this natural agency through excessive rules, approvals, and "checkers checking checkers," which leads to the slow implementation of even the best strategies. Judith and Fred highlight that organizations need to transition from control-based leadership to trust-based leadership.

In this episode, we dive into biblical stewardship—what it means, why it matters, and how it challenges the way we think about ownership. If God owns everything and is over everything, that means our time, talents, gifts, money, resources, (essentially everything) is his. Therefore, we are responsible to entrust those things to him to use for his purpose.Connect With Usprovidenceomaha.orgInstagramFacebookEmail Usformation@providenceomaha.org

As Dr. Derek Alessi shares, the first step on the journey to a healthier lifestyle is adopting the correct mindset. Being able to believe that the result we desire is not just possible but is what we will attain is how we begin to move the needle. Taking the approach of a student then allows us to learn the habits that help us and those that we must remove from our lives.Learning how to implement the changes we need to make can be uncomfortable. Changes in nutrition and exercise habits will help change our body composition, which Dr. Alessi details is one of the key indicators to disease and premature death.A health and fitness professional for over 30 years, Dr. Derek Alessi is the CEO of Strength Genesis.

What does it take to build something that lasts—not just for years, but across generations? In this episode of Partnering Leadership, Mahan Tavakoli is joined by Alfredo De Massis, a globally recognized expert on family enterprise and author of The Family Business Book: A Roadmap for Entrepreneurial Families to Prosper Across Generations. As one of the most cited scholars in the field and a trusted advisor to multi-generational family businesses around the world, De Massis offers a rare combination of academic rigor and real-world relevance.But don't expect a conversation limited to family-owned companies. This episode is about how all leaders—especially those responsible for long-term value—can rethink legacy, leadership, and innovation. De Massis argues that great leaders don't just pass down businesses; they design systems that outlast them. From ownership mindsets to innovation strategy and governance architecture, the conversation provides a blueprint for building organizations that remain relevant and resilient across time.A central theme of the discussion is the distinction between succession planning and legacy design. De Massis challenges the outdated belief that continuity depends on finding the next version of the current leader. Instead, he introduces the concept of the "family galaxy"—a flexible, multi-entity model that allows different generations to thrive in different ways, based on their talents and motivations. He also breaks down the three layers of governance essential for long-term success: business governance, family governance, and the often-overlooked interface between them.For CEOs, board members, and senior executives thinking beyond quarterly results, this conversation delivers both intellectual depth and actionable insight. It's a masterclass in how to lead with intention—not just for today, but for the future you won't be around to control.Actionable TakeawaysYou'll learn why the best leaders don't plan succession—they design systems for continued relevance.Hear how to reframe ownership as a responsibility to be developed, not a status to be inherited.Explore the “family galaxy” model—and how to structure a system where multiple generations can create value.Understand how great organizations govern at three levels—and why ignoring the “interface” layer can derail everything.Discover why tradition can be a strategic asset when leaders know how to reinterpret—not resist—it.Learn how emotional dynamics influence strategic decisions in family and legacy enterprises.Find out why leadership earned through credibility—not entitlement—is key to generational success.Get practical insights into how to align governance, ownership, and innovation around shared purpose.Take away powerful questions to evaluate whether your legacy is built to evolve—or simply to endure.Connect with Alfredo De MassisAlfredo De Massis LinkedIn Alfredo De Massis IMD The Family Business Book Connect with Mahan Tavakoli: Mahan Tavakoli Website Mahan Tavakoli on LinkedIn Partnering Leadership Website

Saw a great post from Daniel Pink (@DanielPink) and it came from his Tuesday wisdom:  “The World is changed by your example, not by your opinion.” - Paolo Coehlo.  Yep.. so many people express their opinions on line super easy and certainly not the same way that they would say their thoughts to people face to face.  But, we remember that opinions are like people's backsides… everyone has one!  Our actions stand stronger. What we do in life stands larger than only what we say. I know I need to remember this and do more about it for sure.

Dreaming of owning your own machine shop but hitting a wall when it comes to the money? You're not alone—and you're definitely not out of options. In this episode of MakingChips' Machine Shop MBA series, host Mike Payne sits down with Jon Hughes, Principal and CFO Consultant at CliftonLarsonAllen (CLA), to unpack what it really takes to fund a manufacturing business in today's economy. Too many would-be shop owners assume they need a mountain of cash sitting in the bank before they can even begin. But what if we told you that buying an existing shop—yes, even one with tired machines and outdated systems—could actually be less risky than starting from scratch? What if seller financing, SBA loans, or creative capital stacks could unlock the dream faster than you thought? This isn't just about borrowing money—it's about funding your future wisely. From assessing your own personal runway to building a mixed financing strategy that includes banks, lines of credit, equipment lenders, and even friends and family, this conversation goes deep. Mike and Jon cover the practical tools every owner should use (hint: you'll want to Google “13-week cash flow”) and how to present a rock-solid financial plan that banks will actually take seriously.

Saw a very powerful post and it's quite a Game Plan for all of us to follow a bit more, not just on a Monday.  Power of Positivity (@LIVEpositivity) shared this total truth:  “Deep conversations with the right people are everything.”  I saw this and started thinking back to so many of my favorite people and started to recall awesome & deep conversations with them. It brings a smile to my face, a tug on my heart and a tear to my eye. I for sure, want and need more of these types of conversations for sure and I will be looking to intentionally focus on doing more of them. I hope you can too.  Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/   on Twitter / “X”:  @coachtosuccess   and on Instagram at:  @coachjohndaly  - My YouTube Channel is at: Coach John Daly.   Email me at: CoachJohnDalyPodcast@gmail.com     You can also head on over to https://www.coachtoexpectsuccess.com/ and get in touch with me there on my homepage along with checking out my Top Book list too.  Other things there on my site are being worked on too.  Please let me know that you are reaching out to me from my podcast.

I found this statement that simply jumped out at me from Dolphins Enlighten (@embracetruejoy) and it reminds me to just keep doing good!! This was part of it: “All it takes is one person to start and make a change for the good and impact the world greatly.”  The main part that is really simple when you look at it was this: “I cannot do all the good that the world needs. But the world needs all the good that I can do.” Each person has their world changed by bit of kindness, encouragement, love, helpful action, etc. So remember, it's not necessarily the ENTIRE world, but each “world” of a person that you are able to help in some way. I need to remember this a bit more often. The “world” does need more of us doing this for sure.

Feeling powerless in your divorce? That's exactly when you need this simple yet profound somatic practice for reclaiming ownership of your body and presence.  During the most challenging times of divorce, we often feel like everything's spiraling beyond our control – legal proceedings, relationship dynamics, and major life transitions can leave us disconnected from our own sense of agency. But what if there was a practice so simple you could do it anywhere to remind yourself of what you DO control?  This episode teaches a powerful bodily ownership exercise that anchors you in the present moment. Through deliberate touch and verbal affirmation, you'll learn to create an immediate shift in your nervous system and reconnect with your physical presence. I guide you through each step – from shaking out tension to orienting yourself in your environment to methodically reclaiming ownership of your entire body.  As we move through the practice together, I share why present-moment awareness is the only genuine pathway to healing. Your healing doesn't happen when you're worrying about future what-ifs or replaying past mistakes – it happens right now, in this moment, when you choose to reconnect with yourself and remember your inherent wholeness.  Whether you're feeling overwhelmed by divorce proceedings, struggling with co-parenting challenges, or simply needing to ground yourself during emotional turbulence, this practice offers an immediate pathway back to yourself. Try it whenever you need that reminder: in this moment, you are safe, and your body is your own.If this podcast resonated with you in any way, please take a minute to follow and give me a rating wherever you listen to podcasts.To schedule your complimentary consult with Karin click here.For more information and full show notes go to:https://www.karinnelsoncoaching.com/post/ep212

Your DNA, health data, and digital identity are encrypted, monetized, and weaponized against you. But what if there was a way to take it back… and hack the system? In this mind-expanding episode, Dave sits down with two elite hacker-founders—Michael Tiffany, CEO of Fulcra.ai, and Vishakh, founder of Monadic DNA—to explore a radical shift in the way we store, protect, and use our most personal data. Together, they break down the Web3 tech stack powering this revolution. Enter Nillion, a distributed, privacy-preserving compute network that allows you to share and analyze your encrypted data… without ever giving it away. From genomic privacy to AI sovereignty, this episode exposes the hidden architecture of control—and how to escape it. You'll learn how cutting-edge blockchain and cryptography are rewriting the rules of ownership, consent, and even identity itself. What You'll Learn in This Episode: • Why your DNA is already in government databases—and how long they keep it • How Nillion enables secure computation on private data • What it means to build a “cybernetic operating system” for your body • Why Fulcra.ai is building the orchestration layer of human optimization • How Monadic DNA helps you profit from your genetics—without giving them away • Why owning your data is the next frontier of biohacking • The surprising connection between decentralization, health freedom, and consciousness • How to join the movement toward true data sovereignty If you've ever felt like you're giving away too much to big tech, big pharma, or just the internet itself—this conversation will change how you see your data… and your body. **Join the Fulca sleep study today!
