On today's show Ben and Andrew begin with notes on a home networking project before turning to the release of Fable 5.1, including Anthropic's announcement that it has walked back the data retention safety initiative the company announced earlier this year. From there: Reactions to a viral post on the OpenAI-Hugging Face incident, the problem with anthropomorphizing machines, and why Ben finds this discourse unhinged and unproductive. At the end: Follow-ups to last week's Meta discussion on the tension between libertarian and conservative impulses, Shopify is a platform and not an aggregator (and that's great), a well-timed question about 3-D Printing, an F1 app PSA, a listener's girlfriend hates vibe coding, and apropos of last week, a pronunciation email.

How might economic frustration influence the way people evaluate political candidates? In this episode of PIVOT with Darryl Lyons, Darryl examines a recent McKinsey Institute for Economic Mobility report, In Pursuit of Progress: Americans' Aspirations for Economic Mobility, to explore the financial pressures and lack of economic confidence that can shape how people think about the future and who they choose to support. Using survey data from 30,000 adults, Darryl breaks down four major themes: the common desire for financial security, the cost squeezes people experience at different stages of life, the importance of community, and the role proximity plays in helping people move forward. He discusses rising living costs, health care, child care, housing, retirement savings, and the financial shocks that can make it difficult for families to build stability. Darryl also explores the roles employers, friends, family, churches, and government institutions play in helping people find opportunities. From a Christian worldview, he argues that community and relationships can create practical opportunities for people who are struggling, while employers can help employees build skills and become more valuable in the marketplace. Ultimately, this episode looks beyond politics to ask a more important question: What happens when people feel like they have no financial security, no clear path forward, and little hope for the future? You'll learn: • Why financial security is a priority for so many Americans • How rising costs affect people at different stages of life • Why groceries, health care, child care, and housing are major financial pressure points • What retirement savings reveal about economic mobility in America • Why strong community connections can influence people's sense of control and momentum • How employers can help employees improve their skills and financial opportunities • How economic frustration may influence political choices This episode is for anyone interested in financial planning, economic mobility, personal finance, leadership, community, and the forces that influence how people think about their financial future and political choices.

You hit a growth ceiling and your first instinct is to change what you're doing, not fix how you're doing it.Matt Verlaque has coached founders past a million in revenue and sees the same pattern over and over: something works, the novelty wears off, growth stalls, and suddenly a new marketing channel, AI tool, or strategy looks like the answer.Matt and Skye unpack the “pivot chaser” trap, how to tell when a strategy is genuinely broken versus when you've simply gotten bored of executing it. They also dig into AI mania, the dopamine hit of learning and building new things, and why constantly chasing the next skill can quietly keep you from scaling.Because as Matt puts it: “Beginners don't scale companies.”What We CoverHow to tell whether you have a strategy problem or an execution problemWhy ADHD founders abandon the thing that was actually driving their growthWhy skill acquisition feels productive even when it stalls your companyThe difference between “can I build this?” and “should I build this?”Why constantly chasing novelty keeps you a beginnerConnect With Matt Verlaquehttps://mattverlaque.com/Instagram: @mattverlaqueAbout ADHD founders for ADHD founders.

Caroline and Allison return from a summer hiatus and welcome Juliana Pereira, co-author of Pivot Quest, after attending her talk with co-author Luis at Hummingbird Books in Chestnut Hill, moderated by Caroline. Juliana explains she met Luis while working at a business school during a rebranding project, then later partnered with him after he proposed a “Duolingo of career pivoting” concept. She describes three years of research interviewing 100+ career pivoters across 25 countries, finding that pivots are typically triggered by life events (divorce, loss, layoffs, moves) and often accompanied by bodily stress signals, anxiety, and identity fears. Key themes include that people never start from scratch, pivots build on existing skills and community, and success comes from curiosity and not defining oneself by a job title, illustrated by an 83-year-old with 16 pivots.

“The league is about getting better, if you don't, you are out.” -Malik Willis As NFL training camp officially wraps, now it's time to see how some of the new faces in new places approach the 2026 season. We had the privilege of sitting with one of the break out stars over the past couple years who is getting his chance to be back leading a team.  Miami's quarterback, Malik Willis, joins The Pivot for a wide-ranging conversation about the journey that has shaped him both on and off the football field — from growing up with the foundation of good parents, finding his way through college football, and eventually making his way from Tennessee to Green Bay and now Miami. Willis opens up about the highs, setbacks, lessons, and growth that have come with chasing his dream of becoming an NFL quarterback. He reflects on his college path, the experiences that helped shape his game and his mindset, and the people who kept him grounded along the way. Now entering a new chapter as the quarterback of the Miami Dolphins, Willis talks about the expectations that come with getting his opportunity to lead an NFL franchise. He discusses adjusting to a new team, a new city, and a new head coach, while embracing the responsibility and pressure that comes with being the guy under center. His bond with Coach Jeff Hafley has helped him grow into the leader the team needs especially with a young roster, specifically at wide receiver. But beyond football, the conversation gives a glimpse into the person behind the helmet. Known for his relaxed demeanor and calm presence, Willis talks about staying true to himself while navigating the noise, expectations, and scrutiny that come with playing quarterback at the highest level. From Tennessee to Green Bay to Miami, Malik Willis' story is one of perseverance, patience, family, growth, and believing in yourself when the path doesn't always go according to plan.

Shownotes//What if the life you've built no longer fits the person you've become? In this episode, Chiara gets personal about closing a decade-long chapter, quitting the coaching industry, and choosing to completely reinvent her life as she approaches 40. She explores the fear of letting go, the uncomfortable limbo between identities, and how to follow the clues toward a new dream—even when you have no idea exactly where it will lead. This is a love letter to anyone standing at the edge of a pivot and wondering whether they're actually allowed to burn the ships and begin again.In this episode you'll learn:* Why the identity, success, relationships, money, and validation attached to your old life can make reinvention so difficult—even when you know you're ready for something new.* How to navigate the uncomfortable in-between when you know where you no longer belong but can't yet see exactly where you're going.* Why paying attention to the things that spark your curiosity, creativity, and excitement can reveal clues about your next chapter.* How creating space to dream—and getting clear on what you don't want—can help you begin imagining an entirely different life.* Why you don't need the entire path mapped out before you begin: sometimes the next step only reveals itself once you've put both feet into the first one.

What happens when the business you built no longer feels like the business you want to run?In this Sacred Business Calibration, Kelle Sparta coaches a spiritual entrepreneur through the tension between burnout recovery, business positioning, pricing, target markets, and the pressure to keep doing what once worked—even when it no longer feels aligned.The conversation explores a challenge many experienced practitioners eventually face: your business may still function on paper, but internally, you've outgrown it.Kelle explains why selling a $997 group program requires a very different message than selling a $5,000 private engagement, why you need one primary offer and one primary market, and why trying to speak to everyone at once weakens your positioning.They also discuss the difference between following trends and leading from alignment, the dangers of applying generic entrepreneurial advice to spiritual businesses, and how burnout can become a signal that your business model, audience, or message needs to evolve.Kelle shares her own experience of reaching the point where she had said everything she wanted to say to the seeker market, losing momentum, and eventually restructuring her work around professional spiritual practitioners. Instead of discarding years of content, she reorganized existing material, added new elements, and created a business model that restored her energy and enthusiasm.For coaches, healers, facilitators, and spiritual entrepreneurs who feel trapped by a business they've outgrown, this episode offers a practical framework for recognizing misalignment and making a strategic pivot without throwing away everything you've already built.What You'll LearnWhy a $997 offer and a $5,000 offer require different positioningHow to choose a primary offer and target marketWhy trying to sell multiple offers simultaneously can dilute your messageThe “one thing, one market, one lead magnet, one platform” business principleWhy burnout can cause business momentum to declineHow generic entrepreneurial advice can misalign spiritual businessesThe difference between following trends and evolving with your own alignmentWhy practitioners can become trapped in “golden handcuffs” inside their own businessesHow to recognize when your business is running youWhy a meaningful business pivot may take roughly 90 daysHow to restructure existing content instead of starting from zeroWhy spiritual entrepreneurs need business strategies designed for their industryReferences MentionedSpiritual Business BurnoutBusiness PivotingOffer PositioningTarget MarketGroup CoachingPrivate CoachingTaki MooreLead MagnetsLinkedInFacebookInstagramTikTokSpiritual EntrepreneurshipEmbodimentSomatic WorkBurnout RecoveryBusiness AlignmentConscious BusinessSpiritual Awakening1998 Spiritual Awakening2016 Awakening2020 Pandemic AwakeningProfessional Spiritual Practitioner ProgramResources MentionedKelle Spartahttps://kellesparta.comSpirit Guides Schoolhttps://learn.kellesparta.com

Episode Summary Some industries are on fire right now, hiring, growing, and spending. And some are bone dry. If yours has gone quiet, you've probably already heard the advice to pivot. Karen and Michelle are not here to tell you that pivoting is possible. They're here to tell you how. Episode 354 is a practical guide to breaking into a new industry when your current one has stalled. This episode is for the practitioner who is sitting in a dry sector right now and needs real steps to take. Karen and Michelle start by busting the myth that skills plus reputation walk seamlessly across industries, clarify exactly what does and doesn't travel with you. The episode is tactical and includes: how to reframe your existing portfolio through a new industry's lens, how to land a flagship project without working for free, four pathways to first opportunities in a new vertical, the mistakes to avoid when you're tempted to cut your rates, a realistic 3-to-6-month timeline with honest caveats, and the one concrete step you can take today. Karen is clear from the start that she is not speaking theoretically; she has had to take some of these steps herself, and the advice reflects it. Episode Highlights [01:22] The Myth That Skills Plus Reputation Walk Across Industries Unchanged: Karen names the belief that gets a lot of solo practitioners into trouble: that PR is PR everywhere, and their skills and reputation can carry them into a new sector without friction. Michelle validates the partial truth that media relations instincts, crisis communications, executive positioning, and messaging discipline, those are your core muscles, and they do travel. What doesn't travel: industry vocabulary, regulatory landscape, buyer psychology, and the media relationships themselves. A healthcare reporter relationship means nothing in fintech. Plan for that rather than hoping otherwise. [02:22] Relationships Don't Transfer — But Skills Do, and That's Enough to Start: Michelle's framing is direct: don't count on your contacts to save you. What saves you is your own capability.  You know how to build a message, craft it with precision, and hold the room under pressure. Karen's practical response to practitioners worried about starting over is that you are not starting from zero. Your portfolio still exists. Your experience and judgment still matter. The task is to reframe what you've already done through the lens of the new audience you want to reach, and to do the same with your LinkedIn, your bio, and your case studies, swapping out PR jargon for the new industry's language. [04:41] The Fastest Credential is One Flagship Project in the New Space: A single flagship project in your target industry outweighs years of history in your previous one. The question is how to get it without working for free. Karen's preferred path is a short-term embedded stint as a contractor with a PR practitioner or agency that already serves the industry you want to enter. You're not responsible for the whole strategy; you're not necessarily client-facing, but you're learning the landscape and building your portfolio at the same time, while getting paid. Karen's second preference is pitching a byline to a trade publication in the new industry. You don't need sector experience to have a point of view on communications and PR. That byline becomes proof of presence in the space. [06:29] Four Pathways to First Opportunities in a New Industry: Michelle and Karen walk through the four most practical routes. First: adjacent industry referrals. Look inside your existing network for one-degree-removed introductions. You are probably closer to your target industry than you think. Second: volunteer with a trade association in the industry. This builds knowledge, visible credibility, and relationships, and for APRs, volunteer hours count toward renewal. Third: offer to ghostwrite for someone already working inside the industry. You gain the knowledge as you write the piece and prove your capability in the process. Fourth: subcontract for an agency already serving that vertical, building your portfolio before going direct to clients. [11:14] Where the Money Is Flowing Right Now: Michelle names the sectors actively hiring communicators in 2026: AI, healthcare, energy, and climate. Traditional retail and some legacy media are not. Karen adds the nuance that even in sectors that are struggling overall — she cites tech specifically — there are portions of the sector where money still exists and is still being spent. The prescription: read financial publications, track where investment is flowing, follow the problems that are predicted and who is positioned to solve them. Broaden your view within sectors before assuming the whole sector is closed. [13:11] The Mistake Everyone Is Tempted to Make: Pivoting on Price Instead of Positioning: When you're new to a space and feel you need to prove yourself, the temptation is to undercut your rates. Karen is direct: do not do this. Clients who find you through price are not clients who value your judgment. What you can do instead is start with a smaller scope of work such as a three-month project, a productized offer, or a focused consultation. In this way, the engagement feels lower risk to the buyer without compromising your rate. Michelle's alternative: develop a sharp point of view on the industry's actual challenges, which signals that you belong there regardless of your history in the sector. Pivot on positioning, not on price. [15:51] Setting a Realistic Timeline and Not Getting Discouraged: Karen's honest assessment is that a realistic runway for breaking into a new industry is 3 to 6 months. In the current market, it could take a year or longer. The economy is moving in windows. There are periods where things open up, then something shifts, and clients pull back. Karen names this from personal experience, not theory. The practical implication is don't try to turn away from your current sector overnight. Work the new industry alongside what you're already doing, chip away consistently, and measure forward progress by inbound interest and repeat conversations rather than by contracts signed. [17:43] Speed It Up With In-Person Networking: Karen's tactical advice for shortening the timeline: if the target industry exists in your local area, find the in-person touchpoints. Local chamber of commerce, trade association meetings, industry mixers, and direct coffee requests to people inside companies you'd like to work with. Karen is careful to say don't use the phrase 'pick your brain' — instead, tell them honestly that you're interested in serving this industry and want to learn more about what they're facing. Follow up with a small, thoughtful thank-you. Face-to-face accelerates trust in a way that digital outreach does not. [19:58] The One Concrete Step to Take Today: Karen closes with a single, low-lift action: pick one adjacent connection in your existing network and ask for an introduction this week. Don't overthink it, don't plan the whole campaign first, don't wait until you've rewritten your website. Take one step. Michelle adds the Solo PR Pro community as a place to practice the pivot; the private forum is full of practitioners who know people across industries and are ready to make introductions.   Resources & Additional Information Sectors actively hiring communicators in 2026 (per the episode): AI, healthcare, energy, and climate communications.

The host, who knows both men and calls them smart and well-intentioned, explicitly urges viewers not to pick a side and dismiss the other as stupid, but to find the one factual disagreement worth reasoning from. His own position leans hard toward innovation: drawing on Matt Ridley's The Rational Optimist, he argues that 80,000 years of human progress make "it all ends now" an irrational bet, that we've innovated our way out of every prior crisis, and that de-growth—especially any talk of reducing world population—would trigger economic collapse that causes far more suffering than the problem it aims to solve. He respects Steve Keen's economic mind but argues Keen has essentially "given up," wishing we'd listened to engineers 50 years ago rather than charting a path forward now. He reframes the climate fight around tradeoffs the doom narrative ignores: citing Bjørn Lomborg's "it's real but overstated, and the solutions can be worse than the disease" framing, the roughly 140,000-plus annual heat deaths that air conditioning could prevent, and Jordan Peterson's warning about sacrificing today's actual poor for tomorrow's hypothetical poor. The conversation ranges across the East-vs-West Germany innovation contrast, a Peter Diamandis-style geoengineering thought experiment, why "politics is downstream of culture," and the host's more contested claim that climate panic often masks a desire for control and resentment—before ending on a speculative, openly-unsupported musing about the psychology behind who pushes it. A wide-ranging argument for optimism, first-principles thinking, and refusing to let "we're doomed" become the whole story.The team breaks down Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent's latest move to tame rising long-term bond rates—and why the bond market is likely to keep testing him. After Bessent doubled buybacks from $2B to $4B per round (which briefly knocked yields down before they rebounded past where they started), two off-the-record Treasury officials leaked to CNBC that the Treasury General Account—the government's roughly $1-trillion checking account at the Fed—could be tapped to buy bonds en masse. The host walks through why that's a bigger deal than expected: using cash to retire long-duration bonds without issuing new supply makes the debt "evaporate," and the market has, at least for now, believed the rumor enough to push the 30-year and 10-year yields down. But he's clear about the catch: the TGA isn't a magic war chest—every dollar in it was borrowed via prior auctions, so spending it down just defers the problem and eventually requires selling more debt, pressuring the curve again. He frames the backdrop honestly: $40 trillion in debt, ~123% debt-to-GDP, climbing interest costs, Japan (the largest buyer of US debt) in trouble, China dumping Treasuries while hoarding gold, and gold overtaking the dollar as the top central-bank reserve asset. His throughline is that there's no silver bullet, only tradeoffs, and the only real fix is growing the real economy—rising middle-class wages adjusted for inflation, GDP moving from ~1.2% toward 3–4%—rather than financial engineering. Absent that, he lays out the grim menu every over-indebted empire faces: austerity, default, or inflating the currency to shrink the debt (which quietly impoverishes everyone paid or saving in dollars), and warns that another Covid-scale inflation spike without real growth is how you get to "pitchforks." The conversation closes on a lengthy, contested tangent about immigration incentive structures, the Nordic model, and social trust—with the host explicitly noting the Nordic countries themselves say they aren't socialist. A dense, sobering economics breakdown.The team breaks down the escalating US-Canada trade war after Canada walked away from a deal that would have sharply lowered tariffs on several key Canadian industries. The host argues Canada is making a serious economic miscalculation—laying out the dependency math: roughly 78% of Canadian exports rely on US consumer markets, and exports make up about 33% of Canada's GDP, versus Canada representing only around 13% of US imports and a small slice of US GDP. In his read, that asymmetry means Canada has far more to lose, and pivoting toward China—geographically distant and, as he notes, a non-market economy—is a poor substitute. He digs into what actually broke the deal per PM Mark Carney: autos, French-language and cultural protections, and, most importantly, a US demand to restrict Canada's ability to sign independent trade deals with other countries (read: China), pointing to Canada's stated goal of a 50% export increase to China by 2030, Carney's January Beijing visit, and a flurry of mutual tariff cuts (including slashing Canada's 100% EV tariff to ~6%) as evidence of a rapidly warming relationship. But the host is pointedly two-sided: he says the US had understandable strategic reasons to push for guarantees, while blasting Trump's "51st state" rhetoric and bullying public posture as counterproductive—using it as a lesson he teaches entrepreneurs about always showing the other side how a deal is a win for them, and the human psychology of how people resist being forced into even things that serve their interests. He walks through the granular US demands (auto assembly, procurement, energy allocation, language laws) and their second-order effects, and closes on a contested hypothesis that Canada may be more ideologically aligned with China than the US. A dense, numbers-driven, deliberately even-handed breakdown of leverage, strategy, and a deal gone sideways.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

What if the resistance you feel isn't telling you to quit—but inviting you to pause, reassess, and listen more closely? In this thought-provoking conversation, transformational leadership expert, executive coach, and writer Stephanie Peirolo joins host Dr. mOe Anderson to explore how grief, trauma, family narratives, and inherited expectations influence the biggest decisions of our lives. Stephanie explains why transformational leadership requires more than strategy. Lasting change depends on trust, deep listening, human connection, and the willingness to examine the stories shaping our choices. She also shares why honoring resistance can be an act of wisdom rather than a sign of procrastination or weakness. Drawing from her book, The Saint and the Drunk: A Guide to Making the Big Decisions in Your Life, Stephanie offers a compassionate approach to discernment. Listeners will learn how to identify what they truly want, separate facts from inherited narratives, seek support, and make decisions that honor both their dreams and responsibilities. Memorable Quotes “Resistance means you need to reassess.” — Dr. mOe Anderson “Usually people who are stuck are dealing with some woundedness or some fear that's very valid.” — Stephanie Peirolo Key Takeaways Transformational leadership addresses both structural change and the human response to change. Resistance may be valuable information telling you to pause, investigate, or choose another path. Family, cultural, and generational narratives can quietly shape decisions about careers, money, relationships, and success. A familiar story is not necessarily an immutable truth. Ask whether it supports or restricts you. Meaningful discernment begins with a deceptively difficult question: What do I want? Big decisions require self-awareness, compassion, time, reliable information, and sometimes help from someone you trust.

You can walk into a draft with a perfect plan. Targets identified, sleepers ranked, a strategy for every slot. And then three rounds in, none of it survives contact. Kendall Valenzuela, Peter Overzet and Dwain McFarland break down two real drafts from Draft Nation, pick by pick, including one where almost nothing went the way Dwain wanted it to. First up is the 16-round best ball draft where Dwain sat at pick 11 with Pete right ahead of him at 10 — which meant getting sniped repeatedly by the guy sitting next to him. They walk through every stage of the build: Ashton Jeanty, Kenneth Walker and Colston Loveland to start for Dwain against Jonathan Taylor, Chase Brown and Garrett Wilson for Pete. Then the middle rounds with Tetairoa McMillan, Quinshon Judkins, De'Zhaun Stribling, Jaylen Waddle, Mike Evans and Tyler Warren. Then KC Concepcion, Justin Herbert, Josh Downs, Rico Dowdle and Xavier Worthy, and finally the late-round swings on Brock Purdy, Mark Andrews, Adonai Mitchell, Jaydon Blue, Tre Harris and Keaton Mitchell. Then they switch formats entirely. Kendall and Pete recap a $350 high-stakes managed league, 20 rounds with a third-round reversal, and Pete explains exactly what changes when real money is on the line instead of best ball. Kendall opened Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Saquon Barkley, Rashee Rice, Tetairoa McMillan and Josh Jacobs from pick 7; Pete went Christian McCaffrey, Justin Jefferson, Trey McBride, Jameson Williams and D'Andre Swift from pick 11. The point isn't the specific picks. It's watching what an experienced drafter actually does in the moment when the board refuses to cooperate — which runs to chase, when to abandon a plan, and how to build something functional out of the pieces nobody else wanted.

What if your biggest struggle wasn't clinical, but personal? In this episode of Jumpstart with Jeff, Dr. Jeff Buske opens up a powerful conversation around what it really takes to create a life and practice you love. Burnout, isolation, and overwhelm are silent killers in dentistry, but it doesn't have to be that way. If you're tired of white-knuckling your way through life or feeling like success is costing you everything that matters, this episode is your wake-up call. Dr. Buske breaks down the heart of his Pivot Protocol, a practical and deeply personal system built to help dentists get crystal clear on where they are, where they want to go, and what's standing in the way. But this isn't about lectures or theories, this is about transformation through brotherhood, accountability, and raw honesty. Dr. Buske shares stories of his own failures, divorce, depression, addiction, and how he found his way out by stepping into vulnerability and building a life filled with purpose, not just productivity. Here's what you'll learn in this episode: The 3-step Pivot Protocol for real, lasting life change Why success starts with clarity and brutal honesty How small group intensives create exponential growth The hidden cost of surface-level CE events, and what to do instead Why dentists are suffering in silence, and how to break the cycle “I've fucked it up every way but Friday, but now I know the way out. And I'm here to show you too.” - Dr. Jeff Buske

Economic headlines can make investors feel like they need to react immediately. A consumer sentiment index "crashes." Unemployment claims "spike." The market reacts. But what do these economic indicators actually mean for your portfolio? In this episode of PIVOT with Darryl Lyons, Darryl explains how to interpret economic indicators without letting dramatic headlines drive emotional investment decisions. Using the Michigan Consumer Sentiment Survey as an example, he walks through how investors can follow the "breadcrumbs" from an economic reading to the broader economy and ultimately to the markets. Darryl also uses the story of Hansel and Gretel and the concept of the Five Whys to explain why individual economic indicators should be viewed in context rather than in isolation. Some indicators may provide meaningful insight into the economy, while others may be little more than temporary noise. Most importantly, Darryl explains why investors should learn to "get in front of their future selves" by preparing for market ups and downs before emotions take over. You'll learn: ●      How economic indicators influence investment markets ●      Why financial headlines often create unnecessary fear ●      How to interpret the Michigan Consumer Sentiment Survey ●      What the Five Whys can teach investors about economic data ●      Why one economic indicator rarely tells the whole story ●      How to distinguish meaningful signals from market noise ●      Why taking a long term perspective can help investors avoid emotional decisions Whether you're a longtime investor or simply trying to better understand the economic headlines you see every day, this episode offers a framework for putting economic data into perspective and making more informed financial decisions.

In this episode, host Sylvie Legere sits down with Ashley Davis, author of The Power Pivot: With Grit, Grace, and Growth, political strategist, and Partner at S-3 Group, for a conversation about how to lead when life, business, or circumstances stop following the plan.Drawing from a career that has taken her from serving as Employee #1 at the White House Office of Homeland Security after 9/11 to advising major organizations in Washington, Ashley shares why a meaningful pivot isn't about reacting to change—it's about preparing for it with intention. Together, Sylvie and Ashley unpack her framework of Intentional Planning, Intentional Purpose, and Intentional Change, the "Pivot Penalty" that comes from waiting too long to act, and the power of making small, deliberate adjustments before a crisis forces your hand.They also explore decision-making under pressure, why progress rarely follows a perfectly imagined script, and how Ashley applies the same principles to an unpredictable political and business landscape. The conversation even goes behind the scenes of lobbying and advocacy, using sports and technology as examples to demystify how organizations navigate policy, influence, and change.Act after listening:Identify the pivot you've been putting off. Ask yourself what waiting may be costing you and whether an inflection point is already signaling that it's time to move.Use the three Intentionals. Look at your next decision through the lens of Intentional Planning, Intentional Purpose, and Intentional Change instead of reacting in the moment.Start with a tiny pivot.

Jonathan Kuminga reportedly turned down the Chicago Bulls — and now Bulls fans have to ask what it really means.On today's Chicago Bulls Central, Haize breaks down the updated Kuminga situation after he signed with the Minnesota Timberwolves on a two-year, $13 million deal with a second-year player option. Chicago reportedly made an actual offer, along with the Lakers and Trail Blazers, but Kuminga chose Minnesota's role, winning situation, and path to rebuilding his value.Haize explains why the rejection is not devastating, but it is interesting. Kuminga fits Chicago's age timeline, but the Bulls already have Matas Buzelis, Caleb Wilson, Patrick Williams, Noa Essengue and Leonard Miller competing for forward minutes. The bigger concern is whether young players view Chicago as a place where they can build value — especially if the Bulls offered more money and still lost out.Then the show shifts to Bennedict Mathurin, who signed with New Orleans on a two-year, $16 million deal with a player option after averaging 17.6 points, 5.4 rebounds and 2.4 assists last season. Haize asks whether Chicago made a mistake by not prioritizing a 24-year-old scorer at that price — especially when the Bulls still need downhill shot creation.Finally, Haize looks at whether Jordan Hawkins should now be on Chicago's radar. New Orleans had reportedly discussed Hawkins trades before adding Mathurin, and Hawkins' $7 million salary fits inside Chicago's remaining room exception. But Haize warns that Hawkins is not Mathurin or Kuminga — he is a low-cost shooting experiment whose actual NBA production has not matched the reputation yet.

Hello to you listening wherever your feet touch the ground! Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with Wednesdays on Whidbey and your host, Diane Wyzga. Earlier this month I announced the retirement of my 60 Seconds format after 5½ years and Motivate Your Monday episodes after 6½ years. However, my long-running global podcast, Stories From Women Who Walk, is alive and well and evolving for you, my truly global audience. I launched my podcast, Stories From Women Who Walk in April 2020 as a platform for conversations with women who were walking their lives until their lives were flipped upside down by something unexpected, how they met the challenges, and changed to become stronger, even more confident women. I loved every single moment listening stories out of my guests! But then COVID flipped our lives upside down, too. We were no longer commuting to work over long distances or in cars. Who would have the time to listen to a 30 or 45-minute conversation? What to do? Pivot to 60 Seconds. No one was offering this format. Turned out that I was really good at distilling topics, ideas and stories into soundbytes to inform, illuminate, delight, motivate, and comfort my listeners. Today Stories From Women Who Walk has logged over 1,340 episodes and maintains a robust platform wherever you get your podcasts, especially Apple Podcasts and including Pandora Radio. It's been a great run so far! That's what 6½ years of dedicated listening and support has produced. Thank you! I'm here because you're there and I will continue. I promise you this: the voice you have come to know and trust along with the stories, insights, questions and prompts that speak to each of us as if to say, “What! You, too? I thought I was the only one.” [C.S.Lewis]. I plan to channel my creative efforts into producing two weekly “Diane on Mic” short-form episodes—maybe 4 minutes or so of spoken word—for Wednesdays on Whidbey and Story Prompt Friday, with familiar themes, a deeper and more intimate relationship with you, and a focus on helping women navigate their midlife pilgrimage. Why pilgrimage? As those of you who have followed me know, I have talked about this so often: my life shows up as BC and AC—Before Camino and After Camino. Over the years I've learned that the 500 miles of walking across Spain was the destination. I know what it takes to walk the long and winding road to letting our lives speak. As Quarter Moon Story Arts I bring decades of experience as a skillful storyteller in healthcare, business and law. It's time to sharpen my creative focus and work with women of Middle-Earth-Age who are navigating their midlife pilgrimage story.

What happens when you keep getting signs that something is no longer meant for you, but you're too afraid to make the change?In this heartfelt and deeply relatable episode of the High Vibin' It Podcast, Kelsey Aida and Lynnsey Robinson sit down with Christine Marcario, an intuitive spiritual teacher, Reiki Master, and host of the Aligned and Abundant podcast, to talk about life pivots, trusting your inner knowing, and what happens when you keep ignoring the signs.Christine shares her journey from spending 19 years as a middle school teacher to eventually stepping into spirituality, mediumship, coaching, and podcasting. Through burnout, career changes, unexpected job losses, and doors repeatedly closing, she began to recognize that spirit was guiding her toward something completely different.Together, they explore why we sometimes choose safety and familiarity over what our soul is asking for, how spirit can make the message louder when we aren't listening, and why painful experiences can ultimately become powerful redirections.From trusting your intuition and paying attention to dreams to creating more space for yourself and learning not to carry the weight of the entire world, this conversation is a reminder that you don't need to have everything figured out before taking the next step.✨ What You'll Discover:Christine's journey from teaching to spiritual workWhy burnout can be a sign that you're ready for a new chapterHow choosing safety can keep you stuck in what no longer serves youWhy spirit may keep sending you signs until you listenHow unexpected endings can become powerful redirectionsWhy difficult experiences can still hold valuable lessonsHow Christine discovered her gifts in mediumship and intuitive workWhy dreams can become a doorway for spiritual messagesThe importance of creating space to hear your inner knowingHow to stop carrying things that aren't yours to carryWhy self-trust is essential when making major life changesHow asking "What isn't working?" can help create clarityWhy you don't need to know exactly what comes next✨ Want more?In the extended Patreon episode, Kelsey, Lynnsey, and Christine pull an oracle card and a rune for the collective, exploring themes of healing, heart-opening, clarity, success, and what comes after the storm.

One missed detail in Times Square can ripple across a million people, but Vicki Amar says the emotional stakes of a wedding can be even higher. She spent nearly a decade producing major NYC citywide events, then walked away to become a full-time wedding planner and the owner of Amarvelous Event in South Florida. That career pivot forces a bigger question: is “big” really about headcount, or is it about how much care you bring to the work?We talk through the surprisingly direct overlap between large-scale event coordination and wedding planning: anticipating failure points, protecting the guest experience, and staying calm when the pressure spikes. Vicki shares what changes when you go from a machine full of departments and protocols to being the one person who holds the timeline, the vendor team, and the couple's peace of mind. She also explains her favorite client touch, a post-wedding “exit call,” where couples get to relive the day and finally hear the behind-the-scenes “saves” they never noticed.Then we zoom out to what makes a sustainable career in the wedding industry: community over competition. We dig into how planners build trusted networks for referrals and support, why shared standards matter, and how design details like florals, candlelight, and color palettes can trigger the biggest emotions. We also get real about family dynamics, mediation, and reading what isn't said in the room, because weddings are never just two people and a checklist.If you're a wedding planner or professional looking for certification, support, and a global community, come check out the CWP Society.

In this episode of Medsider Radio, we sat down with Michael Mangano, President and CEO of ABK Biomedical. ABK's Eye90 is an investigational Y90 radioembolization device for treating unresectable liver cancer.Michael brings over 30 years of medical device experience, including 15 years at Boston Scientific in commercial and international leadership roles. He previously served as CEO of ReShape Medical and as President of the Americas for Sirtex Medical, scaling regional revenues from $34 million to over $130 million.In this interview, Michael discusses the thinking behind ABK's pivot into Y-90 radioembolization, what it takes to execute a 120-patient pivotal trial while retaining ownership over the clinical function, how to build capabilities that competitors can't quickly catch up to, and why the player-coach culture gives startups an execution advantage.Before we dive into the discussion, I wanted to mention a few things:First, if you're into learning from medical device founders and CEOs and want to know when new interviews are live, head over to Medsider.com and sign up for our free newsletter.And if you're ready to level up your medtech game, you should check out Medsider Courses — 8-week masterclasses covering topics like fundraising, M&A and exit planning, design and development, clinical and regulatory strategy, and commercialization.These courses, featuring hard-earned lessons from elite medtech CEOs, can be purchased individually or come free with our All-Access Pass.If you'd rather read than listen, here's a link to the full interview with Michael Mangano, which includes a link to ScottBot — an AI version of host Scott Nelson trained on every Medsider interview and playbook.

Prostate cancer surgery is a major and irreversible decision, but how much do you actually know about your surgeon's outcomes, the risks involved, and what happens after the operation?In this episode of Intellectual Medicine, Dr. Stephen Petteruti discusses the questions he believes men should ask before undergoing a prostatectomy. He examines reported differences in urinary incontinence and erectile dysfunction outcomes, the importance of asking a surgeon for their own complication and recurrence rates, and why getting more than one surgical opinion may be worthwhile.Dr. Petteruti also discusses the role of PSMA PET imaging, surgeon selection, biochemical recurrence, and findings from the PIVOT trial. He explains his perspective on non-operative approaches while acknowledging that patients may ultimately make a different choice. The episode also addresses what happens after surgery, including postoperative planning and questions surrounding radiation therapy.Timestamps:(00:27) What doctors may not tell you before prostate cancer surgery(01:25) Understanding incontinence and erectile dysfunction rates(02:00) How to evaluate your surgeon's actual outcomes(02:57) Asking about biochemical recurrence after prostatectomy(03:56) Why you should consider more than one surgical opinion(04:12) The role of a PSMA PET scan before surgery(05:00) Complication rates and researching your surgeon(06:10) What the PIVOT trial means for the surgery decision(07:16) Why you need a plan for what happens after surgery(08:23) Why Dr. Petteruti recommends taking time before deciding(09:59) Ask your surgeon: “Who would you choose for your own surgery?”(11:24) Considering the non-operative path and planning for recurrence(11:56) Radiation after prostatectomy: immediate or delayed?(13:01) Taking ownership of your treatment decisionReferences:Garner Health- https://www.garnerhealth.com/Biochemical recurrence after radical prostatectomy- https://www.deepdyve.com/lp/springer-journals/biochemical-recurrence-after-radical-prostatectomy-where-do-we-stand-2plJJEf6x4Enjoy the podcast?

Scott Galloway joins Bill Maher for a wide-ranging conversation about the state of American men, modern dating, AI, and the economy. The bestselling author, host of The Prof G Pod, and co-host of Pivot argues that young men have more agency than they think, and that learning to handle rejection is part of moving forward. He and Bill get into porn, the incel movement, the manosphere, why humor and kindness still matter, and why men should pick up the check. Galloway tells the story of meeting his wife, debates Bill on the existential risks of AI, and weighs in on China's growing AI advantage, tariffs, capitalism, the shrinking middle class, inherited wealth, and whether older generations have tilted the economy too far in their own favor..

This week on A Pod Named Kickback, we kick things off with a conversation about accountabilibuddies—how important it is to have somebody you can talk to, lean on, and keep you accountable when life gets heavy. We get into the importance of community, family, friendship, and having people around you who genuinely give a damn.Then it's time to kick back and get into the biggest stories of the week! From Joe vs. Donnell Jones and the latest 2Pac trial developments to the absolutely wild situation in Gary, Indiana, where residents reportedly dealt with an extended power outage. Then China tells its citizens not to communicate with aliens…

Happy Mindful Monday! In this week's episode, our host Allie Brooke sits down with Dina Berrin. The heart of her work lies at the intersection of intuition and practical decision-making. She uses tools like tarot, numerology, astrology, and symbolic charms;not as fortune-telling, but as frameworks that help people slow down, see patterns in their lives, and make clearer decisions. At the end of the day, her work is really about helping people trust themselves again.Her path into this work wasn't exactly linear. She spent years in more traditional spaces before realizing that the intuitive tools she's always been fascinated with were actually incredibly powerful systems for reflection and personal growth. That journey, from questioning her own instincts to learning to trust them, is a big part of what shaped her work and her book The Way Within. She loves conversations that bridge the gap between what people might call “woo” and real life. Her goal is always to make these ideas accessible and useful.   Episode Topics    • the difference between intuition vs. fear or resistance • why people often ignore their intuition (even when they know better) • how symbolic tools like tarot or numerology help us see patterns we can't see on our own • using intuition as a decision compass during times of change   Connect w| Dina Instagram Website     Millennial Life Coaches Network The Growth METHOD.

Today on the show, Trump cut short military drills between the US and South Korea this week, saying that they sent the wrong signal to the "unthreatening and respectful" North Korea. Fareed asks former NSA official and scholar Victor Cha if Trump is throwing over one longtime US ally to court a rogue state...again? Then, China spends a fraction of what the US does on data centers and lacks the most advanced AI chips. Why, then, does its AI industry appear to be catching up, and rivaling Silicon Valley? Fareed discusses with Evan Osnos, staff writer at the New Yorker. Later, Fareed speaks to climate scientist Katharine Hayhoe about this summer of record heat and raging wildfires in many parts of the world, and climate change's role in all of it. Finally, the V-Dem Institute's latest Democracy Report has downgraded the US from a liberal democracy to an electoral democracy. Why is American democracy in decline? Fareed asks Nobel Prize winning economist Daron Acemoglu.

SUMMARY: Brian, Brandon, and Aaron discuss news about Nvidia's reported $105B backing of OpenAI's Ohio data center and what it implies for GPUs as an “asset class” and enterprise AI. Brian argues Jensen Huang is shifting Nvidia's narrative from needing the newest chips immediately to portraying GPUs as long-lived, cash-flowing assets that can be financed like bonds, pushing risk onto banks and private equity. Brandon agrees scarcity has extended older GPU usefulness but warns the market could be flooded with newer, cheaper, more efficient hardware, leaving debt tied to obsolete equipment. Aaron likens GPUs to airplanes, expensive assets requiring constant utilization, while noting new AI builds demand entirely new data centers for power and cooling. The group questions widespread lack of profitability, compares the financing trend to past bubbles, and debates the optimistic case that breakthroughs could ultimately justify the investment.SHOW: 1056SHOW TRANSCRIPT: The Enterprise AI Show #1056 TranscriptSHOW VIDEO: https://youtu.be/vTLTdIZueJMSHOW SPONSORS:Nasuni - Activate your data for AI and request a demoShow topic: Nvidia's Pivot from Chipmaker to FinancierNvidia just backed $105B for OpenAI's Ohio data center and helped mobilize $500B+ in Wall Street financing (Apollo, Blackstone, BlackRock, Goldman, KKR) to fund GPU purchases, while AMD, Google, and Cerebras chip away at its tech lead. The moat is moving from silicon to balance sheet.Core question: Is a GPU actually securitizable like real estate or aircraft, or is this circular financing dressed up as infrastructure?The bull case: GPUs as productive, cash-flow-generating assets (compute-as-a-service) → financeable like data centers or planes, unlocking capital hyperscalers alone couldn't raise.The bear case: Depreciation risk; GPUs age fast, unlike buildings. What's the residual value of an H100-class chip in 2030? Securitizing a depreciating, obsolescence-prone asset is a very different bet than securitizing land.Circularity concern: Nvidia financing the customers who buy Nvidia chips, who generate the revenue that justifies Nvidia's valuation, echoes vendor financing bubbles (Cisco/telecom, 2000).Precedent: Compare to aircraft leasing/securitization models: what made those work (long asset life, resale markets, standardized valuation), and whether GPUs have any of that yet.Who bears the risk if utilization or model economics don't pan out: Nvidia, the banks, or the credit markets buying the paper?FEEDBACK?Email: show @ the enterprise ai show dot comeBluesky: @TheEntAIShow.bsky.socialTwitter/X: @TheEntAIShowInstagram: @TheEntAIShow

Let's Chat! Your gifts and talents are not necessarily your purpose; they are the tools God has given you to fulfill your purpose. Through prayer, studying the Word, and following the Holy Spirit, you gain clarity about how God wants you to use those gifts. And when it comes to pivoting in business, a change in direction doesn't always mean you're leaving your purpose behind. Sometimes, it's simply God nudging you into greater alignment with what He's already called you to do. __________ Partner with Us: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com/partner Connect with Us: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com __________    

“Going against Ceedee and GP is prepping me for what I need to be at my best." Caleb Downs  On the road, hitting all the Training Camps and had to make it to Oxnard to check out the rookie sensation- Caleb Downs who joins us for a conversation during his first NFL training camp with the Dallas Cowboys, stepping into the league as a first-round pick with expectations already sky-high. Caleb opens up about making the transition from college football to the NFL, the pressure that comes with being a highly touted first-rounder, and what it means to now wear the Cowboys star. He talks about going against elite teammates like CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens every day at practice, learning what separates NFL players, and the intensity of competing against the best in the world. He opens up on his immediate bond with Defensive Coordinator Christian Parker and what he sees in his new coach that can take the defense to the next level. The conversation also goes back to his championship-winning college career, his time playing for Nick Saban, and the lessons he took from one of football's greatest coaches. Caleb reflects on playing alongside stars like Jeremiah Smith, the competitive mindset that helped him win at the college level, and how those experiences prepared him for Sundays in the NFL. He shares how the upsets and losses are just as important as the wins in maintaining a championship mindset. Caleb tells the guys that since he was young, he's studied some of the greatest athletes from Kobe Bryant to Tom Brady to Michael Jordan not because of their skill set but because of their habits and uses his findings in his everyday life. Caleb also gets personal about family, the pride of following those who came before him, and what it means to have a brother already playing in the NFL while continuing a football legacy of his own. From winning in college to earning his place in Dallas, Caleb Downs gives The Pivot an inside look at the mindset, expectations and family foundation behind one of football's rising young stars.
