My guest this week is Paula Pendley, a partner at Nelson Mullins who defends data centers and Bitcoin miners in court, and she joins us as the fight over where these facilities get built is spreading across the country. Towns are passing moratoriums, politicians are campaigning on power bills, and the coverage so far has mostly come from one direction. She brings a case she couldn't fully discuss last time, when 37 neighbors in a small Texas county sued MARA over the facility next door and claimed the noise was damaging their health. We get into what happened when that case reached discovery, and then into the bigger question of how any of us are supposed to coexist with the infrastructure behind the technology we all use every day: • What the plaintiffs were asked to produce, and which claims vanished first • The difference between a legal nuisance and something you simply don't want nearby • What changes when a Bitcoin mine becomes an AI data center • Why the places saying no may be the ones that fall behind Follow Paula Pendley on X https://x.com/paulapendleyLAW ----Order Natalie's new book "Bitcoin is For Everyone," a simple introduction to Bitcoin and what's broken in our current financial system: https://amzn.to/3WzFzfU ----Borrow against your Bitcoin without selling it.

Christian Wenaweser is a legend around the United Nations. He has served as Liechtenstein's Ambassador to the United Nations since 2002 and, despite representing one of the world's smallest states, has an impressive record of diplomatic achievements. He played an instrumental role in the development of the International Criminal Court, including efforts to define the crime of aggression. He has also spearheaded several important initiatives at the General Assembly, including the creation of a mechanism to collect and preserve evidence of war crimes in Syria and the "veto initiative," under which any veto at the Security Council triggers a meeting of the General Assembly. These may sound like fairly technical diplomatic maneuvers, but they represent something much bigger: an innovative way of thinking about how small and middle powers can work together to overcome great-power gridlock and achieve substantive goals at the United Nations. We spoke one week after UNGA — a defining theme of which was the banding together of small states and middle powers in the face of intransigence from some of the world's great powers. This included the launch of a new Partnership for Multilateralism and a political declaration on frontier AI, both of which Liechtenstein joined. In our conversation, Ambassador Wenaweser explains the emerging dynamics of an alliance between middle powers and small states at the UN, what they can actually accomplish, and why they these countries are suddenly asserting themselves. Our conversation is free for all, and was produced in partnership with [Re]Group, a substack from the UN Foundation.
What can a modern revenue management system (RMS) actually do for an independent hotel? In this episode, David Millili sits down with Steve Taft, VP of Partnerships at ampliphi RMS, and Tim Kolman, VP of Sales at ampliphi RMS, to discuss how modern revenue management systems are helping independent hotels compete with larger brands.For many 40-room independent hotels, revenue management is still something owners and operators handle at the end of a long day. From check-ins and check-outs to laundry, breakfast, maintenance, and guest service, there is often little time left for analyzing demand and optimizing room rates.In this episode, we discuss:Why independent hotels have historically been underserved by hospitality technologyHow a 40-room independent hotel can approach hotel pricing and revenue managementWhy legacy RMS technology created the perception that revenue management requires extensive manpowerThe difference between an all-in-one hotel technology stack and a best-in-breed technology strategyIf you're a hotel owner, general manager, revenue manager, hospitality technology professional, or independent hotel operator interested in hotel revenue optimization, RMS technology, AI for hotels, dynamic pricing, RevPAR, commercial strategy, and independent hotel technology, this episode is for you.Watch the FULL EPISODE on YouTube: https://youtu.be/bmg2EWB-8NU Links:Steve on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stevetaft/Tim on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tkolman/ampliphi RMS: https://www.getampliphi.com/For full show notes head to: https://themodernhotelier.com/episode/337Follow on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/the-..Join the conversation on today's episode on The Modern Hotelier LinkedIn pageConnect with Steve and David:Steve: https://www.linkedin.com/in/%F0%9F%8E...David: https://www.linkedin.com/in/david-mil.

Last week, WWF hosted its first-ever Panda House, a full day of panel sessions during Climate Week NYC — the annual gathering timed to coincide with the UN General Assembly, where leaders from across the climate and conservation world come together to debate ideas and push for action. In this special recap episode, host Seth Larson and WWF's Sarah Wilson bring you inside Panda House, with a series of short conversations recorded live between panel sessions. The day's discussions spanned carbon markets, tropical forest protection, and ocean conservation, but one theme ran through the day: finance. In other words, how do we raise the funds required to conserve nature at scale? In this episode you'll hear from: Andrew Deutz, WWF's Managing Director of Global Policy and Partnerships, about the newly released Financing Nature 2026 report that WWF co-released with The Nature Conservancy and the Paulson Institute; Stephanie Cappa, WWF's Director of Policy and Government Affairs, about the Tropical Forest Forever Facility; and John Morton, WWF's Executive Managing Director for Nature Finance & Investment, about carbon markets, how Climate Week has changed over the years, and what gives him hope for the future. Together, these conversations offer a snapshot of where the nature finance conversation stands today, and what it will take to close the gap between what's being spent and what's actually needed.

Why does everything cost more while the quality keeps getting worse?That's the question behind this episode. We look at why your paycheck doesn't stretch as far, why buying a home is so much harder, and why so many things cost more while giving you less.From shrinkflation and CEO incentives to bailouts and crony capitalism, the bigger story is about the rules and incentives underneath the economy. And that leads to the final question: what changed about the money itself, and where does Bitcoin fit in?
Andy Byng joins Jane and Sarah to explore the history, philosophy, and theology of Spiritualism — and why mediumship is simply a natural part of being human. Andy has spent decades teaching and developing mediums worldwide, and brings a grounded, almost academic lens to a subject that's often treated as mysterious or rare. *This is a re-release from May 2025*. Andy shares how his own mediumship awakened, and the personal development that shaped his understanding of spirit. Storytelling sits at the heart of his teaching: life creates its own narrative, and that narrative becomes the language spirit uses to communicate with us. He also makes the case for approaching the spirit world as a partnership rather than a hierarchy, and for presenting mediumship rationally, as something that works within natural laws. The conversation turns to what mediumship offers the world right now, and the role community and personal purpose play in spiritual growth. Is mediumship a rare gift? Not according to Andy — he teaches that mediumship isn't a rare gift, but a natural expression of our connection to the spirit world, available to far more people than most assume. Takeaways Storytelling is a powerful tool for spirit communication, because every communicator needs to establish who they are. Mediumship isn't a rare gift. It's a natural expression of our connection to the spirit world. Developing as a medium starts with developing as a person. Your life experiences become part of the vocabulary spirit works with. A relationship with spirit is built on friendship, not worship. Approaching mediumship rationally, within natural laws, makes it more credible and more accessible. Tension gets in the way. An open heart and a relaxed mind leave room for connection. Mediumship can remind us of our spiritual nature when physical life feels hard. Every experience can serve a spiritual purpose. Sound bites "Storytelling is a big part of my teaching." "Life creates a narrative all by itself." "Every experience can be spiritual."

Justin Martin is the CEO of Granite Hills Group, a rapidly growing commercial landscape platform serving the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic. Since joining Granite Hills in 2020, he has helped lead the business from $10 million in revenue to nearly $70 million through strong organic growth, strategic acquisitions, and a relentless focus on people and culture. Justin works closely with the company's leadership team to shape strategy, strengthen operations, develop leaders, and build a business designed to last. He believes success—both personally and professionally—is ultimately measured by impact: the impact we make on our families, our team members, our customers, and the communities we serve. Justin's career in the green industry began in high school at a garden center in Raleigh, North Carolina. After starting his professional career in management training and sales with Cintas, he returned to the landscape industry and spent nearly a decade with one of the country's largest commercial landscape companies, growing from account manager to vice president. Along the way, he learned from leaders who challenged him to level up and from experiences that reinforced how he wanted others to feel when working alongside him—lessons that continue to shape how he leads and develops people today. He is passionate about building great teams, developing leaders, and challenging the status quo of what a commercial landscape company can be. Justin lives in Fort Mill, South Carolina, with his wife, Michelle, and their two sons, Will and Zach. Outside of work, he enjoys trail running, mountain biking, hiking, traveling, and exploring new places with his family. Derek Stutts is the General Manager for Granite Hills' Raleigh-Durham market, where he leads a team of experienced professionals and a frontline workforce of more than 70 employees. His passion for the green industry began at just 16 years old, working on the grounds crew of a private country club in North Durham. Originally planning to become a golf course superintendent, Derek attended North Carolina State University, studying Turfgrass Management, Horticulture, and Agricultural Business. After graduation, his career took him into the commercial landscape industry, where he advanced from crew leader into management with a national landscape company. He later helped build a landscape maintenance division for a local contractor before returning to a larger national provider in a leadership role. Driven by an entrepreneurial spirit, Derek eventually launched his own company, GroundWorks, growing the business from a single truck and one employee—himself—to approximately $1.5 million in annual revenue within just a few years. When the opportunity arose to become part of Granite Hills as an originating platform company, he made the decision to join the organization and help build its future. Today, Derek is passionate about developing people, building strong teams, and delivering exceptional service to clients across the Triangle. He and his family live on old farmland in Hillsborough, North Carolina, where his appreciation for the land extends beyond his career. Away from work, you'll most likely find him spending time with his wife and three children, relaxing anywhere near the water, or behind a drum set playing with his band or serving on various worship teams.

Join Jacob Schuler, Founder and CEO of Blaze Barrier, for an inspiring conversation on how early-stage hardware startups can build multi-stakeholder partnerships to bridge the gap between engineering concepts and commercial production.

Drawing on over 20 years of engineering and product development experience, Jacob breaks down how his lean team of five designed an innovative wildfire defense line—a rapidly deployable module that, when activated by approaching flames, releases fire-extinguishing powder to create a 10-foot retardant barrier. In this episode, he details the startup journey from pre-seed and seed rounds into scaled manufacturing, highlighting why community trust, industry partnerships, and expert validation are essential when bringing novel safety hardware to market.

In this eye-opening conversation, Dr. Fiona Lovely welcomes Wade Lightheart, a certified sports nutritionist and co-founder of BiOptimizers, for a deep dive into a topic that rarely gets the attention it deserves: digestion. Wade brings a remarkable personal story—after losing his sister to Hodgkin's disease and later experiencing a mysterious 42-pound weight gain in just 11 weeks, he discovered he had learned to build his body from the outside in, not the inside out. He explains that humans are the only species that cooks their food, destroying the enzymes naturally present in what we eat, which places enormous strain on the body's own enzyme production. For women in midlife, this matters enormously: when protein cannot be broken down into amino acids, the consequences ripple outward into muscle loss, stubborn weight gain, mood disruption, and fatigue. Wade walks through the five stages of digestion, offers a simple at-home baking soda test to check stomach acid, and explains why protein timing and digestive support are essential for women navigating menopause. This episode is a masterclass in why digestion is the foundation of hormonal health, metabolism, and vitality. Episode Highlights: Why cooking food depletes enzymes and burdens the pancreas, liver, and gallbladder The five stages of digestion and where things typically go wrong A simple baking soda test to determine if you need more stomach acid Why "it's not what you consume, it's what you digest, absorb, and utilize" The critical link between gut health, serotonin production, and carbohydrate cravings Why women should prioritize protein early in the day, not just at dinner If you've been eating all the right things but still feeling depleted, this conversation will change how you think about every meal.

Your phone probably came through China. Somewhere in that supply chain is Foxconn, the company that builds iPhones in a Chinese city nicknamed iPhone City.In this episode, Canadian combat veteran Kelsi Sheren looks at what is actually documented about Foxconn: the labour violations the company has admitted, the Xinjiang labour transfer programs that put its Zhengzhou facility in a 2020 investigation, what the United Nations has warned about, and what Apple says its audits found.Then the question that matters for Canadians. Mark Carney signed a new strategic partnership with China while his government says forced labour is unacceptable and is rewriting the law that is supposed to stop it at the border.

By Doug Green “The benefits we receive from Snom are benefits we can pass directly through to our MSP partners.” In this Technology Reseller News podcast recorded at MSP Summit in Orlando, Uriel Martinez of GreenLink Networks discusses the company's new partnership with Snom and how the expanded hardware portfolio can create new options for MSPs serving retail, healthcare and hybrid-work customers. GreenLink Networks is a channel-focused VoIP provider that has served MSPs since 2014. The company also provides SIP trunking for partners using platforms such as 3CX. Martinez says GreenLink has historically remained hardware agnostic, but the company saw an opportunity to build a deeper relationship with Snom because of its product range, support and partner benefits. One key advantage is Snom's three-year warranty on devices, which GreenLink can extend to its MSP partners and their customers. The company is particularly interested in Snom's M-Series DECT portfolio. Martinez says the ability to deploy both cordless handsets and DECT desk phones from the same base station can be especially valuable in environments where running new network cabling is expensive or impractical. That can include medical offices, retail locations and older buildings where brick or block construction can make cabling projects difficult. GreenLink is also testing a broader selection of Snom SIP endpoints, including desk phones and headsets. Headsets are becoming increasingly important as customers move between offices, home environments and mobile applications. Martinez says a high-quality communications platform still depends on the quality of the endpoint. “You can have great service, but if the customer is using a poor headset, the experience is still going to be poor,” he says. For MSPs, the larger GreenLink value proposition remains its channel-only approach. Martinez says the company was originally created by an MSP and understands the challenges smaller providers can face when dealing with large carriers. Whether the partner is a small MSP or a larger organization operating across multiple locations, GreenLink's goal is to provide the same level of attention and support. GreenLink and Snom are jointly exhibiting at MSP Summit as they introduce the partnership to the channel. Visit GreenLinkNetworks.com to learn more.

I'm back with another collab episode with my friend Kristina Bartold, host of the podcast Community, and co-founder of The Social Snippet and High Vibe Women. Join us for a conversation all about turning in-person connection into real partnerships and how to get event sponsors without leaping straight to the big ask. We dive into what it actually takes to build brand collaborations, pitch sponsorship, and create the kind of community-first experiences that make people want to say yes. Kristina shares how High Vibe Women grew out of a simple piece of advice she once received, and how that belief has shaped everything from her earliest dinners to sponsorship deals that have grown year over year.Tune in to hear more about:Why Kristina believes "friendship first, business second" has been the foundation of High Vibe Women's growthHow to pitch brand partnerships, starting with a simple list of your dream brands and a genuine DMWhy sponsorship asks are like "at bats," you earn the bigger number by building trust and social proof over timeHow to turn a brand's "no" into a win-win by asking, "What would work for you?"Why leading with "how can I be of value?" is the real key to landing repeat partnersOne of my favorite reminders from this conversation is that you do not have to nail the big ask right away. Whether it's a small dinner, a local event, or your very first sponsorship pitch, showing up with value and consistency compounds over time. I'd love to hear what stood out most to you from this convo!

In this episode of The Nonprofit Exchange, Hugh Ballou talks with Michelle Bockman, CEO of KeraLink International, about what happens when nonprofit leaders bring an innovation mindset, disciplined execution, and scalable business practices into mission-driven work. Michelle challenges the assumption that innovation is too expensive, too risky, or somehow out of place in the nonprofit sector. Drawing from her experience in major corporations, startups, and technology ventures, she explains why nonprofits can benefit from many of the same disciplines that help successful businesses grow: clear strategy, focused priorities, strong operating systems, thoughtful resource allocation, and a willingness to test new ideas. The conversation explores the important difference between growth and scalability, along with the need to build boards and teams around the skills an organization will need for its future. Michelle shares how KeraLink uses a skills matrix to identify gaps and intentionally recruits people who bring different perspectives, expertise, and ways of thinking. Hugh and Michelle also discuss the importance of diversifying revenue rather than relying too heavily on a small number of donors or funding sources. Michelle describes KeraLink's approach, which combines philanthropy, grants, technology development, investments, earned revenue, and partnerships to create a more sustainable model for advancing its mission. Partnerships are another major theme. Michelle explains how collaboration with hospitals, universities, community organizations, clinicians, technology partners, and other mission-aligned organizations allows KeraLink to extend its reach and increase its impact. Throughout the conversation, Michelle emphasizes that innovation is ultimately about solving problems. Nonprofit leaders do not need unlimited resources to innovate, but they do need focus, courage, disciplined execution, and a willingness to stop doing what no longer works. The episode offers a practical reminder that sustainable impact comes from more than good intentions. It requires leaders who are willing to think differently, build the right systems and partnerships, allocate resources wisely, and continually look for better ways to accomplish the mission.

In this episode of HFS Unfiltered, David Cushman speaks with EY's Dan Diasio and Thiru Vengadam about what it takes to move from AI experimentation to enterprise-scale agentic operations. Drawing on EY's recognition as a Horizon 3 Market Leader in the HFS Horizons Agentic Services 2026 report, they discussed why the biggest barriers to AI adoption are no longer technology, but business transformation, governance, operating models, and workforce readiness. The conversation explores how organizations can move beyond proof-of-concept projects by embedding AI into core business operations, building trusted agentic systems with strong governance, and adopting outcome-based partnerships. They also discuss the evolution of Services-as-Software™, where AI-enabled services are creating new business value by combining software, human expertise, and continuous innovation.Key takeawaysAI success is a business transformation challenge, not just a technology one.Scaling AI requires rethinking operating models, processes, data, governance, and talent.Agentic AI must be built on trust. Governance, security, auditability, and human oversight are essential for deploying enterprise-scale AI systems.Partnerships are evolving. Organizations need deeper co-development and outcome-based collaborations rather than traditional vendor relationships.Services-as-Software™ is reshaping enterprise services. AI enables organizations to combine software with human expertise to deliver new, higher-value outcomes.The future belongs to enterprises that embed AI into operations, not just experiments.Sustainable value comes from integrating AI into the way work is designed and delivered.Learn more about the 2026 HFS Horizons: Agentic Services report, which assesses how effectively 36 service providers help enterprise clients adopt agentic AI and realize value across three distinct Horizons, here.#AgenticAI #AgenticServices #EnterpriseAI #ServicesAsSoftware #AIOperatingModel #EY #HFSResearch #AIGovernance #DigitalTransformation #FutureOfWork

It's a bumper episode of Soundtracking to start your week - as we bring you not one but five guests from our latest Soundtracking Film Club at Everyman Whiteley's in partnership with Range Rover. The movie in question is Extra Geography, and Edith was joined for a Q&A after a special screening by director Molly Manners, writer Miriam Battye, producer Sarah Brocklehurst, and its two extraordinary young stars, Marni Duggan and Galaxie Clear. Based on a short story by Rose Tremain, Extra Geography explores the relationship between two teenage girls and best friends at boarding school in England.We love these Everyman events with Range Rover - a brand synonymous with mastery in all its forms, championing those who push boundaries, define standards and create enduring impact. Both Soundtracking and Everyman align naturally with Range Rover's core principles relating to leadership, cultural authority and creative excellence, so we're absolutely thrilled they have chosen to support our podcast, which was recorded live in front of an audience following a screening of the film.
How was Puma India built, how did Virat Kohli's one8 come about, and what is Agilitas trying to build in India's sportswear market?Abhishek Ganguly spent 17 years at Puma, joining when the brand was virtually unknown in India and helping build it into the country's largest sportswear brand. Puma India went on to cross ₹2,000 crore in revenue, ahead of Nike and Adidas combined in India. Then, after nearly two decades in the industry, Abhishek chose to start again.Today, as Co-founder & CEO of Agilitas, he is pursuing a much bigger idea: can a sports brand from India compete with the best in the world?In this episode of the Prime Venture Partners Podcast, Amit Somani speaks with Abhishek about the journey from Puma to Agilitas and one8, how Indian consumers have changed over the last two decades, why past success can become a disadvantage, and what it takes to build a brand people genuinely care about.Timestamps00:00 Introduction00:59 Building Puma India From Scratch05:29 How the Indian Consumer Has Evolved12:06 Staying Close to the Consumer16:36 Why Consumers Don't Need More Products18:33 “Made in India, Unfinished on Purpose”21:19 Why Start Agilitas?24:20 The Risk of Past Success25:12 “Disruptors Don't Disrupt Again”28:16 Building With Virat Kohli32:09 Why India Needs a Global Sports Brand34:16 Why Virat Kohli Backed Agilitas36:45 Building a Brand From India37:32 Virat Kohli Rejected 17 Prototypes39:28 The Future of one841:35 Advice for EntrepreneursA major thread in the conversation is Abhishek's long-standing relationship with Virat Kohli. He goes back to 2016, when he proposed that Virat should build a brand of his own rather than remain only a brand ambassador. That idea became one8.Years later, when Abhishek left Puma to start Agilitas, Virat became one of the company's early believers, investing in the business and merging one8 with Agilitas. The conversation also explores why Abhishek believes Indian consumers are evolving too quickly for old global playbooks, why founders need to stay close to the consumer, and why experience can sometimes become baggage. His own reminder to himself is simple: “Disruptors don't disrupt again.”At the heart of Agilitas is a larger ambition: to build a sports brand from India that can compete with the best in the world, not on price, but on product, performance and brand.Connect with Abhishek GangulyLinkedIn: https://in.linkedin.com/in/abhishekgangulyInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/abhishekganguly/?hl=enX: https://x.com/gangulyabhishekFollow Amit SomaniX (Twitter): https://x.com/amitsomani?lang=enLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/thesomani/Read the transcript for the entire podcast here: https://bit.ly/Abhishek-Ganguly-Agilitas About Prime Venture PartnersPrime Venture Partners is an early-stage venture capital firm backing exceptional founders building category-defining technology companies across SaaS, fintech, AI, healthcare, consumer internet, and enterprise software.Learn more: Prime Venture PartnersFollow Prime Venture Partners:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/2780448/admin/dashboard/X (Twitter): https://x.com/Primevp_inInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/primevp_in/Learn more about AgilitasWebsite: https://agilitas.com/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/agilitas-sport/home/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/agilitas_sports/?hl=en#SportsEntrepreneurship #BrandBuilding
Jason and Bridgette host Drew Wervin and Chris Huffman of Central Ag Consulting for a practical conversation about the Trusted Advisor Partnership (TAP) and how it is helping farmers adopt conservation practices that reduce erosion and improve soil management. The episode focuses on real farm-level implementation, especially in sugar beet, wheat, soybean, and canola systems across the Red River Valley and surrounding areas. We discuss how TAP works, what kinds of practices are eligible, and why crop consultants are the key bridge between growers, funders, and conservation outcomes.Find out more at: TAP Northern Plains:tapnorthernplains.com FacebookInstagramTAP Canadian Prairies: tapcanadianprairies.comFacebookInstagramSponsored by Jacob Van DusseldorpText "PLAN" to 701-409-1044 to start a conversation.

Rare disease connects more people than many of us realize. While every diagnosis is unique, the journey often includes many of the same challenges: searching for answers, navigating the healthcare system, advocating for better care, managing complex treatments, and finding hope along the way. Cystic fibrosis is considered a rare disease because it affects fewer than 200,000 people in the United States, just like mitochondrial disease. Although these conditions are different, the experiences of patients and families often have much in common. Our guest is Michael Goldberg, a rare disease patient, advocate, entrepreneur, and author. Michael and I connected on LinkedIn, and I'm so glad he reached out because his story is one that will resonate with anyone whose life has been touched by a rare disease. Michael lives with a rare mitochondrial disease and has turned his personal experiences into a mission to help others. He's the Founder and CEO of 12 Brand | MediXo, a patient-led health technology initiative focused on medication adherence, dosing accuracy, and preventive health. He also helps fund research and community programs. Right by his side is his wife Judi. We talk with her about the challenges about being a caregiver, and how that can change a marriage. They're beautiful marriage and upbeat, positive attitude will inspire you. Michael is also the author of I'll Have Mine Rare and I'll Have Mine Rare: Growing Up Different. In this episode, we talk about advocacy, caregiving, resilience, and why the rare disease community is stronger when we learn from one another. Whether your family is affected by cystic fibrosis or another rare disease, I think you'll find inspiration and encouragement in Michael's journey.

Americans' trust in government remains persistently low, according to the latest research from the Partnership for Public Service. The organization reports that public trust is down six percentage points since this time last year. But there is a silver lining: Public approval ratings of civil servants are showing some positive signs. Federal News Network's Drew Friedman gets more from the senior research manager at the Partnership for Public Service, Paul Hitlin.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Scott Curran is a social impact lawyer, advisor, and educator who spent ten years in the All-Star game of global philanthropy at the Clinton Foundation . When I sit back and look at the wacky headlines and persistent headwinds in our world right now, it can be really easy to throw up our hands . But Scott brings us right back to the science: human beings are naturally wired for good, and our brain chemistry practically throws a party of dopamine, serotonin, oxytocin, and endorphins whenever we do something kind or even just watch someone else do it ! Scott candidly shares how a middle-of-the-night couch conversation with his wife turned into a mission to give away a decade's worth of hard-earned tools to help leaders scale their impact . Purpose isn't just a fluffy concept. Purpose drives profits, sparks employee joy, and connects us to our shared humanity . Key Themes & Highlights Humans Are Science-Backed and Wired for Good. Human beings are fundamentally built for reciprocity and community care . Despite negative news cycles, basic brain chemistry releases feel-good neurochemicals whenever we give, receive, or observe acts of kindness . "No headline, no headwind, no culture warrior accusation can change the human reality that we are wired for good, and that it feels good when we do it, and even when we just see it." Starting a Purposeful Entity Requires Borrowing Success. Launching a nonprofit doesn't require reinventing the wheel because all organizations follow a predetermined regulatory lifecycle . Before starting a new entity, change-makers should first consider plugging their energy into an existing organization . "There's approximately just under 2 million nonprofits in the United States running the gamut of all non-profit work. And the great news is they're all special, but not that unique." The BOPP Framework Drives Organizational Success. Sustainable, purposeful organizations rely on a balance of four core elements: a diverse, independent Board; lean Operations; clear Programs; and impactful Partnerships . "If you want the quick approach to a great organization, I'm gonna give you four things to focus on. It's BOPP." Everyday Corporate Good Builds Community Connection. Organizations don't need to overcomplicate social impact; simple initiatives like corporate service days or employee donation match programs create immense shared value . "Start where you are, focus on the causes that hit most close to home... Being aware and being intentional are the only two things I hope people take away." Actionable Takeaway Ask your employer if they offer an employee donation matching program to double your impact for free—and if they don't have one yet, invite your leadership team to start one !

Episode #1193 When does taking care of yourself become abandoning your partner, and when does constantly taking care of everyone else become self-sacrifice? In this episode of The TPM Show, Doug Holt and Christopher Hansen tackle a question many husbands and fathers struggle with: how do you make time for yourself without leaving your wife feeling like she's carrying the family alone? Doug explains how two unhealthy patterns can develop. On one side, a man works hard, provides for his family, and quietly expects something in return. Without ever discussing those expectations with his wife, resentment builds when his needs aren't met. On the other side, a man becomes the martyr. He handles everything, puts himself last, and keeps pushing until he eventually burns out. Neither creates the partnership he actually wants. Doug and Chris discuss covert contracts, communication, burnout, and why healthy self-care isn't about checking out from your responsibilities. It's about communicating with your wife, understanding how your choices affect the family, and creating agreements that allow both partners to get what they need. Chris also shares his own tendency to carry too much until his wife reminds him to slow down and do something that fills him back up. That leads to a practical discussion about scheduling self-care, rediscovering activities you genuinely enjoy, and surrounding yourself with men who will hold you accountable.
