Podcasts about Perspective

Today's poem is Perspective, Coyoacán by Corey Van Landingham. The Slowdown is your daily poetry ritual. In this episode, Maggie writes… “Today's poem is an ekphrastic poem, a poem inspired by a piece of art. It opens with an epigraph that is a quote by Frida Kahlo. It strikes me now, reading that line of hers, that while she's talking about painting herself, it can also refer to writing about oneself.” Celebrate the power of poems with a gift to The Slowdown today.

In this solo episode of Inspired Nonprofit Leadership, Sarah Olivieri explores the often-overlooked connection between focus and trust inside nonprofit teams. We talk a lot about alignment. We talk about clarity. We talk about strategy. But trust? That often gets treated like something abstract—something that either exists or doesn't. In this episode, Sarah breaks down a simple but powerful chain reaction: Focus → Clarity → Perspective → Confidence → Trust When a team is truly focused on a shared objective—whether that's raising more money, serving more clients, reducing hours, or building something meaningful—noise gets cut away. With focus comes clarity about what we are doing and what we are not doing. That clarity builds perspective. Perspective builds grounded confidence. And that kind of confidence—calm, steady, non-ego confidence—creates real trust. Not just internally. Externally, too. When your team trusts itself and trusts each other, the outside world can feel it. Donors, clients, and potential hires are drawn to organizations that are clear, confident, and aligned. People want to be part of something meaningful. They want to say, "I helped make that happen." Trust fuels high performance. It lowers drama. It increases results. And it all starts with focus. In This Episode, You'll Learn Why lack of trust often stems from a lack of focus How focus reduces hesitation, second-guessing, and friction The connection between clarity and team confidence Why confidence must be grounded—not ego-driven—to build trust How internal trust translates into external credibility Why donors, clients, and staff are drawn to clear, aligned teams Who This Episode Is For Executive Directors and CEOs leading growing teams Nonprofit leaders experiencing friction or hesitation inside their teams Organizations are trying to improve culture and performance Leaders who want stronger donor and stakeholder trust About Your Host, Sarah Olivieri Bold, strategic, and refreshingly human… Sarah Olivieri is the go-to expert for conversations on aligned leadership, outcome delegation, and sustainable growth.She brings wit, warmth, and real-world wisdom to mission-driven founders, visionary CEOs, and change-makers who want more clarity, more joy, and more results. Most leaders hit a wall when success depends on them holding it all together. Sarah helps them change that by redefining leadership around outcomes instead of activity, empowering teams to own results that scale and freeing leaders to focus on the vision that drives them. A former director of three nonprofits and founder of five businesses, she has a rare ability to spot opportunity where others see chaos, shift stuck patterns, and build organizations that support both legacy and life. Sarah leads with the same mindset that made her an award-winning sailor: iterate on what works, stay focused in the storm, and never forget the joy of the journey.

Life can change in an instant, testing our resilience, faith, and perspective. Lindsey Roy joins the show to share her journey from a traumatic boating accident that led to a leg amputation to a rare lung disease requiring a double lung transplant, revealing how these experiences reshaped her motherhood, leadership, and daily life. She reflects on trusting her body, leaning on community, and embracing vulnerability—showing how even the toughest challenges can inspire growth, gratitude, and a renewed sense of purpose.  Key Takeaways:   Life-altering challenges can become catalysts for deeper perspective, resilience, and purpose.  Trusting your body and advocating for your health are essential parts of healing.  Vulnerability in leadership builds trust, connection, and healthier work cultures.  Community, faith, and support systems help carry the weight when life feels overwhelming.  Adaptability and gratitude can transform limitations into opportunities for growth.  About Lindsey Roy:  Lindsey Roy has twice needed surgery to save her life. The first, a leg amputation after a traumatic boating accident and the second a double lung transplant after being diagnosed with a rare and progressive disease which constricted the blood vessels in her lungs. These experiences, coupled with her natural gifts for speaking and writing, have created a passion in Lindsey to tell her story in the hopes of helping others tackle whatever obstacles life throws at them. She did a TEDx talk in 2017 titled "What Trauma Taught Me About Happiness" which has been viewed by nearly 200,000 people. Her story has been featured in major publications, such as O Magazine, Fast Company, Forbes, and Working Mother.  Lindsey's perspective is also honed by her roles as a corporate executive, mother, and wife. She is Senior VP Strategy & Brand at Hallmark, where she is leading various initiatives and groups—many of which draw from the lessons shared in The Gift of Perspective. She has a degree in Journalism & Advertising with a minor in Speech from Kansas State University and serves on many charitable boards, including Ability KC, Steps of Faith, and the Ad Council. Her greatest joy in life is spending time with her family—her husband Aaron and children, Mitchell and Morgan.  Connect with Lindsey Roy at:  https://www.instagram.com/lindseyroy26/?hl=en  https://lindseyroy.com/   https://www.amazon.com/Gift-Perspective-Wisdom-Gained-Losing/dp/1773271865/ref  Connect with Dr. Michelle and Bayleigh at:  https://smallchangesbigshifts.com  hello@smallchangesbigshifts.com  https://www.linkedin.com/company/smallchangesbigshifts  https://www.facebook.com/SmallChangesBigShifts  https://www.instagram.com/smallchangesbigshiftsco  Thanks for listening!  Thanks so much for listening to our podcast!

Have an episode suggestion? Text us!We've been taught that not trusting people means something is wrong with us. That if we don't open up quickly, we must be closed off, bitter, or unhealed. I don't agree with that at all.In this episode of Paige's Perspective, I talk about why trusting everyone by default is not healthy and why trust should be earned over time. We explore discernment versus avoidance, why caution gets pathologized, and how trusting yourself first is essential, especially after living with addiction or repeated betrayal.Not trusting everyone isn't a flaw. It's common sense.

Send a textA mid-level Director delivers an AI-generated presentation that looks flawless on the surface until the CEO starts asking real follow-up questions about implementation, trade-offs, and stakeholder impact. Suddenly, the limits of AI are exposed. It can draft the slides and script the talking points, but it cannot supply judgment, relationship capital, or strategic instinct. That gap is where promotions are decided and where replacements are too. What this episode is aboutAI is democratizing competence: anyone can use tools to generate strategic memos, slide decks, and data visualizations that look “senior.” Being technically excellent is no longer a differentiator; it is the new baseline. At the same time, major consulting firms are cutting thousands of roles as AI absorbs work that used to belong to junior and mid-level professionals, underscoring how vulnerable execution-only careers have become. If you are only using AI to get through your task list faster, you are still operating in execution mode. In this episode, Kele shows you how to use AI to clear the noise so you can double down on what AI cannot replicate: your Presence, your Perspective, and your Positioning, what she calls the Three Pillars of your AI-Proof Leadership Brand.What you'll learnWhy AI is raising the floor on competence and turning technical skills into the starting line, not the finish line, for your career.The real leadership moment behind the “perfect” AI-generated presentation and what actually separates who gets promoted from who gets replaced.What your leadership brand really is (not your job title or LinkedIn headline) and how it shows up when you are not in the room.The Three Pillars of Your AI-Proof Leadership Brand, Presence, Perspective, and Positioning, and why AI fundamentally cannot replicate them.Practical ways to strengthen your Presence and Perspective so you are known for how you think, decide, and show up in high-stakes moments.How to intentionally position yourself and your AI use so your value is visible, strategic, and clearly differentiated in an AI-driven workplace.Mentioned in this episodeIgnite Your Leadership Power Accelerator: Stop executing and start architecting your move to senior leadership.

Rising cases of colon cancer under 50 deserve attention, yet they also require proportion, data, and disciplined thinking. In this episode, Dr. Stephen Petteruti places early-onset colon cancer into context. While media coverage amplifies concern, individual risk for most people under 50 remains relatively low. He explains how decades of metabolic dysfunction, excess body fat, chronic inflammation, immune decline, and environmental exposure drive cancer development.Dr. Stephen outlines practical prevention strategies that matter more than panic: optimize vitamin D, control body composition, reduce processed meats and nitrites, limit toxic additives, protect gut health, and use intelligent screening tools such as stool-based testing when appropriate. Colonoscopy is examined through a risk–benefit lens not rejected, but not blindly accepted.For those who value longevity, proactive healthcare, and evidence-based prevention, this episode reframes the conversation.

Keep winning! Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Cathy Yoder SUMMARY OF THE INTERVIEW (CATHY YODER x RUSHION McDONALD) In this Money Making Conversations Masterclass episode, Rushion McDonald interviews Cathy Yoder, known as the Queen of Air Fryers—a mother of eight whose air‑fryer passion turned into a thriving social‑media‑driven business. Cathy explains how she learned to master air fryers, built a YouTube channel with massive growth, developed ebooks and cookbooks, and built a business through authenticity and service-oriented content. The conversation blends cooking education, digital‑branding lessons, entrepreneurship, and personal purpose. PURPOSE OF THE INTERVIEW 1. Educate Viewers About Air Fryers Cathy breaks down what an air fryer is, how it works, how to choose one, and common mistakes. 2. Highlight How Social Media Can Build a Business Rushion explores how she grew from a blogger to a YouTube creator with hundreds of thousands of followers and multiple revenue streams. 3. Inspire Entrepreneurs to Pursue Authentic Branding Cathy’s journey shows how consistency, authenticity, and audience connection can turn a simple idea into a successful brand. 4. Illustrate the Emotional Impact of Serving an Audience Her stories of widowers, overwhelmed parents, and new cooks show how content can genuinely empower people. KEY TAKEAWAYS 1. Air Fryers Are Mini Convection Ovens They cook faster, often require no preheat, and can grill, bake, roast, and more—but not everything (like wet batters or funnel cakes). 2. All Air Fryers Are Not Equal Cathy stresses choosing 6‑quart, ~1700‑watt models and avoiding units that are too small or underpowered. Size and wattage matter more than brand. 3. Her Content Strategy Was Data‑Driven Initial uploads in various recipe categories revealed that air‑fryer recipes consistently outperformed, so she went all‑in on that niche. 4. YouTube Growth Takes Time Her first monetization check was $1.36, rising to $146, then $300, then to $8,000–$9,000/month by the time she reached 100,000 subscribers. 5. She Generates Multiple Revenue Streams YouTube AdSense Amazon affiliate links E‑books (first launch made $15,000 in a weekend) Physical cookbooks (first batch of 500 sold out immediately) 6. Authenticity Builds Trust She films mistakes, includes her kids’ real reactions (including spitting out bad food), and refuses to promote products she doesn’t believe in. 7. Listen to Your Audience Comments guided her content direction (like dropping background music, creating cookbooks, responding to questions). Audience feedback = brand refinement. 8. Digital Marketing Tip: Serve People, Not Algorithms She emphasizes helping overwhelmed home cooks first—consistent service leads to trust, community, and natural growth. 9. Emotional Impact Matters Her biggest motivators are heartfelt messages, especially widowers learning to cook for the first time because of her tutorials. NOTABLE QUOTES FROM THE INTERVIEW On Air Fryers & Cooking “All air fryers are not created equal.” “If you can grill it or bake it, you can usually air‑fry it.” “Buying too small can make you come back and want to upgrade—now you’re wasting money.” On Starting Her Channel “My first check was $1.36… that’s a lot of work for $1.36.” “I believed I was filling a gap… there wasn’t enough good content.” On Content Strategy “They need to know within the first three seconds that you’re going to deliver on your promise.” “In the beginning, you just need to start publishing some crappy videos.” (On practicing, learning, and improving) On Authenticity “I will only share what I can authentically stand behind.” “If I make mistakes, I show them.” On Impact “If I was in a room with 10,000 people, that’s still a lot of impact.” (Perspective on viewer counts) “What matters is that person who felt hopeless now feels empowered.” #SHMS #STRAW #BESTSupport the show: https://www.steveharveyfm.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Podcast Summary: Don't Be a RichardThis week on Sober.Coffee, Tim D joins Mike and Glenn to discuss the nuances of living a life in recovery beyond simple abstinence. The episode, titled “Don't be a Richard,” explores the shift from just "not drinking" to actively "living better" through consistent, responsible action.Key Talking PointsThe "Next Right Thing": Sobriety is more than just avoiding alcohol; it is a way of life focused on doing the next right thing rather than the next wrong thing.Living Better: Once the initial hurdle of drinking is cleared, the focus shifts to creating a new, healthier path.Redemptive Qualities: Identifying with our "core selves"—the third grader inside—stirs qualities like trust and accountability that develop over time.Hard Work After the Drink: Real recovery starts after stopping the substance; it involves persistent effort to maintain accountability and consistent action.Perspective and Pause: When old, distorted thoughts surface, a simple pause provides the perspective needed to avoid old patterns and rejoin the right path.From Chaos to Calm: The journey leads from a life of chaos to one of confidence, comfort, and internal peace.The Role of Community: Ultimate answers and support are found within the rooms of Alcoholics Anonymous and the fellowship of others who have walked the path.Recovery qualifies us for a "more better" life, where we no longer regret the past but allow it to shape our future for the good.

Thanks to our Partners, Pico Technology, Autel, and Independent Wrench JobsWatch Full Video EpisodeMinnesota's been a pressure cooker lately—and watching people process the same event in completely opposite ways has been… a lot. Matt sits down again with Margaret Light (LMFT, Equilibrium Therapy Services) to talk about why we're so reactive, how cognitive distortions hijack conversations, and why “how we fight” matters more than the topic. Then we drag all of it into the repair shop—because if you've ever tried to explain “it's not the same problem” to a stressed-out customer, you've already lived this episode.Key Topics CoveredWhy two people can watch the same event and walk away with 180° different realitiesThe collapse of shared “ground rules” and the rise of contempt-as-a-personalityCognitive distortions in the wild: all-or-nothing thinking, “shoulds,” rationalization, deflection, confirmation biasHolding multiple truths at once (without your brain blue-screening)Professional standards vs. personal judgment (“should” vs. conduct)Grandiosity: why it feels good and why it burns relationships downHow online reactivity becomes practice—and then leaks into work and homeRepair shop translation: The “same problem / not the same problem” infinite loop. De-escalation without admitting guilt. Curiosity as a tool: “Help me understand what you're seeing.” Perspective-taking as a discipline (yes, Richard Feynman makes a cameo)Star Wars logic traps: “If you're not with me, you're my enemy”… uh… that's a Sith problemMemorable Quotes (for the description or socials)“If you're not with me, then you are my enemy.” (and yes, we know… Sith energy)“The first thing I assess isn't what couples are fighting about—it's how they're fighting.”“You do what you practice.” (online included)“One of the hardest things to do is maintain a moderate position in response to something extreme.”“Someone has to do something different—or you'll just repeat the same statement forever.”The Shop Takeaway (listener-facing)If you work with people—customers, coworkers, leadership—you're going to deal with different realities. The fix isn't “win the argument.” The fix is:Clarify the goal of the conversation (support? facts? policy? emotion?)Validate emotion without surrendering standardsReplace “No you're wrong” with curiosity + explanationKeep integrity: don't...

Last week I did something different on the podcast. I talked about stakeholder vs. shareholder capitalism... and a lot of you reached out saying "this finally explains everything I've been experiencing." So this week I'm building on that. Because understanding the economic system is one thing. But understanding the management philosophy that flows from it? That's where it gets real. This week's episode: Classical vs. Progressive Management with Bob Emiliani Bob is the author of 28 books on progressive management and has been researching this for over 30 years. And he breaks down why leaders say they want collaborative, people-centered cultures... then turn around and manage with command-and-control. Spoiler: It's not because they're lying. It's because of the management philosophy baked into the system. Here's what you'll learn: What classical vs. progressive management actually means Why your transformation work keeps failing (and it's not your influence skills) What consultants and coaches are really up against when trying to influence leaders How to work more strategically instead of blaming yourself My big takeaway We worry too much about our influence skills and beat ourselves up when change fails. But when everything is operating the way it's designed—classical management, shareholder capitalism—making the shift toward what we know in our hearts is better is bigger than any one of us can change alone. We need to partner together. That's why I'm launching the Common Good Consulting & Coaching Consortium—and Bob has agreed to be an advisor. Want to join the Consortium?

Notes Matthew 4:1-11 Genesis 2:15-17; 3:1-7 Romans 5:12-19 Chapters 00:00 Introduction to the Pulpit Fiction Podcast 03:03 Exploring the Temptation of Jesus 12:00 Understanding the Nature of Satan 20:00 The Connection Between Baptism and Temptation 29:58 The Genesis Narrative: The Fall of Humanity 50:00 Paul's Perspective on Sin and Grace Summary In this episode of the Pulpit Fiction Podcast, hosts Robb McCoy and Eric Fistler explore the readings for the first Sunday of Lent, focusing on the temptation of Jesus in Matthew 4:1-11, the Genesis narrative of Adam and Eve, and Paul's reflections on sin and grace in Romans 5:12-19. The conversation delves into the nature of Satan, the significance of baptism, and the implications of human choice, shame, and the quest for knowledge. Through a thoughtful examination of these texts, the hosts encourage listeners to reflect on their own faith journeys and the complexities of biblical interpretation. Takeaways The first Sunday of Lent focuses on the temptation of Jesus. The narrative of Jesus' temptation is foundational for understanding his mission. Satan's role in the temptation narrative raises questions about the nature of evil. Baptism is a key theme that connects Jesus' identity to his temptations. The Genesis story of Adam and Eve introduces complex themes of choice and consequence. Shame and pain are significant outcomes of humanity's choices in the Genesis narrative. Paul's writings emphasize the relational aspect of sin and grace. The concept of original sin is debated in light of modern interpretations. Curiosity and intelligence can lead to both good and evil outcomes. The podcast encourages a deeper exploration of biblical texts and their implications.  

What if the center of Jesus' teaching isn't the cross but the Sermon on the Mount? Father John Dear, peace activist, author, and Nobel Peace Prize nominee, has spent four decades living out that claim and challenging the church to take nonviolence seriously.

Are you building the next level, or just surviving the current one?In this episode, Kevin and Alan unpack why growth often feels heavier than expected. New environments disrupt rhythm. Bigger goals demand a stronger identity. Success increases responsibility. Drawing on years of coaching and a catalog of hard-earned lessons, they explain why perspective is a performance skill and why thinking in decades, not days, changes the game.If you feel stretched or slightly off your center, this is your recalibration. Zoom out. Get honest. Decide who you need to become next. Do not drift into your future. Build it on purpose._______________________Learn more about:Book Alan's Business Breakthrough Session.
