"When you went through what I went through, there's nothing to celebrate about that…I look back at all of it, there's nothing cool about it, I'm hurt from all of it. I have real trauma and pain inside of me from all of that.” Dejounte Murray  In this powerful episode of The Pivot Podcast, NBA guard Dejounte Murray sits down with Ryan Clark, Fred Taylor, and Channing Crowder for a raw, emotional, and reflective conversation on how as a young man he defied odds making it off the Seattle streets to becoming a basketball star to choosing an unlikely life path that forever changed him. Dejounte reveals what it was like growing up in a tough environment, detailing experiences with violence, homelessness, and parental incarceration as he shared how these hardships fueled his determination to succeed and provided the foundation for his resilience on and off the court. With pain and hurt in his voice, Dejounte find the words to share with the guys on the healing process of what he did in his early life, what he witnessed and how survivor's remorse eats at him, saying how everyone he knew from home is either in jail or deceased, and he starts most of his mornings by emailing his friends and relatives who are in prison. Overcoming the unimaginable as he explains how he went from catching a criminal case at 11 years old, to juvenile detention to playing one year of college basketball before being drafted in the first round by the San Antonio Spurs. Discussing his NBA journey and reflecting on lessons learned, Dejounte shares how instrumental his time was with the Spurs, specifically Coach Popovich, who was more than a coach and served as his first real father-figure guiding him through the ups and downs of life. He talked about the pressure of being a young player in a storied franchise, the complexities of team dynamics, transitioning to the Atlanta Hawks, dealing with injuries, setbacks and now trying to navigate life and basketball playing with the New Orleans Pelicans, his latest NBA home. Ryan gets into the growth and maturity sides of life, as Dejounte is unique in he doesn't drink, do drugs, party and very rarely seen outside in a public setting. Committed to his family, being a father and the game he loves so much, Dejounte isn't willing to risk any outside factor messing up this gift of life outside what he used to know and doesn't want anything to interfere with his healing. A heart-wrenching conversation at times, but one definitely worth listening to as Dejounte's courage to open up on overcoming life-changing obstacles, and the pivotal moments that shaped his path to success, will impact you in ways you never thought possible. This is more than a sports story—it's a story of resilience, redemption, and rising above. Don't forget to like, comment, and subscribe for more unfiltered conversations every week.

Trump Urges Evacuation of Tehran as U.S. Military Assets Move In President Trump calls for Tehran's 17 million residents to evacuate as the USS Nimitz and 31 refueling aircraft reposition toward the Middle East. Trump warns Iran cannot have nuclear weapons and says the U.S. will stay out of the war unless American assets are attacked. Iran's Ayatollah is now urgently seeking peace talks through Arab and Russian intermediaries. Israel Escalates Strikes, Iran's Military Decimated Israeli forces continue bombing Tehran and key military targets. Mossad agents have eliminated top commanders and scientists. Iran's air defenses remain crippled and its missile transport fleet is heavily damaged. Only Fordow, Iran's deepest nuclear site, remains intact. Zelenskyy Asks Trump for Weapons, China Disrupts Supply Chains At a global summit in Canada, Ukraine's President Zelenskyy pleads for U.S. arms. Trump is hesitant, partly due to China's squeeze on rare earth minerals critical to defense production. Although some exports resumed, licenses are limited, and military-grade minerals like samarium remain blocked. America's Rare Earth Emergency and Domestic Production Push Trump may invoke Cold War-era laws to jumpstart domestic rare earth mining in states like Wyoming, California, and Texas. A $120 million loan for a Greenland project signals the urgency of ending China's control over the supply chain. Confusion Over Trump's Immigration Orders Trump calls for ramped-up ICE raids in sanctuary cities but had paused enforcement at farms and hotels just days earlier. Following backlash from business and agriculture, the administration reversed course, then appeared to reconsider again. Meanwhile, a meatpacking plant in Nebraska raided by ICE now sees lines of job applicants, raising new questions about the true labor market.

With inequality rising, housing out of reach, and young Americans falling further behind, some argue the American Dream is dead. But NYU professor Scott Galloway has a different take: America hasn't fallen—it's adrift. Originally recorded in late 2022, this episode features a candid conversation about what's really hollowed out the middle class: generational wealth hoarding, runaway corporate consolidation, and a political system rigged for the rich. As billionaires push for yet another round of tax cuts and working families continue to struggle, Galloway's message is more relevant than ever: America can still right the ship—but only if we change course. Scott Galloway is a clinical professor of marketing at NYU's Stern School of Business, a bestselling author, and a tech entrepreneur. He's the host of the Prof G Show and co-host of Pivot. Galloway is a leading voice on the need to rein in corporate power and rebuild the middle class. ⁠This episode originally aired December 6, 2022. ⁠ Social Media: ⁠@profgalloway.com⁠ ⁠@profgalloway⁠ Further reading:  ⁠Adrift: America in 100 Charts⁠ Website: ⁠http://pitchforkeconomics.com⁠ Instagram: ⁠@pitchforkeconomics⁠ Threads: ⁠pitchforkeconomics⁠ Bluesky: ⁠@pitchforkeconomics.bsky.social⁠ Twitter: ⁠@PitchforkEcon⁠, ⁠@NickHanauer⁠, ⁠@civicaction⁠ YouTube: ⁠@pitchforkeconomics⁠ LinkedIn: ⁠Pitchfork Economics⁠ Substack: ⁠The Pitch⁠

This is Convo By Design—where we explore the ideas, people, and projects shaping the future of design. But you know that, I imagine this is why you listen each week… To hear stories behind the design. One of the things I have been thinking about lately is how ideas, feelings and purpose can change over time. When I started CXD in January of 2013, I thought I was speaking to design and architecture clients. Homeowners who wanted to learn about the stories behind design. From the response I received, almost immediately, I realized it was the trade I was speaking to. Well, that's who was listening. And it was that way for years. It was probably around 2015 or 2016 that homeowners were listening and speaking to their designers about imbuing their story into the work. Personalizing it which prior to that was still seen as a detriment to resale. That idea is pretty much gone now, and that's a good thing. Blueberry Jones Projects. In this episode, I'm speaking with Lindsie Davis, the creative force behind Bluberry Jones, a design firm based in Texas. Lindsie's story is rooted in authenticity—an interior designer who once felt uncomfortable in the spotlight, but found herself pulled into a public-facing role by the very nature of her work. Her creative journey weaves through fashion, art education, and eventually, full-scope interior design, fueled by instinct, passion, and an unwavering desire to build spaces with soul. From her first unexpected design job at a paint store to launching a firm amid the uncertainty of 2020, Lindsie has leaned into change—and thrived in it. We talk about her evolution from the suburbs of Dallas to the creative haven of Wimberley, the cultural rise of Texas design, and the very real challenges and rewards of running a design business in a rapidly growing, ever-shifting market like Austin. This conversation also dives deep into kitchens—yes, white kitchens, colorful kitchens, and how even the smallest design decisions can echo with intention and meaning. Lindsie's perspective is one of quiet confidence, shaped by creativity, hard-earned business acumen, and a genuine love for making homes better, one thoughtful layer at a time. Designer Resources Pacific Sales Kitchen and Home. Where excellence meets expertise. Design Hardware - A stunning and vast collection of jewelry for the home!  - Where service meets excellence TimberTech - Real wood beauty without the upkeep That was Lindsie Davis of Bluberry Jones. A designer with a sharp eye, a creative spirit, and a grounded understanding of how to make spaces work beautifully and meaningfully for the people who live in them. Her story is a reminder that design is rarely a straight line—it's a winding road of experiments, pivots, passion, and perseverance. Whether she's reimagining a kitchen, collaborating with architects on multi-year projects, or navigating the changing landscape of Texas design, Lindsie brings intentionality and warmth to every corner she touches.

Weak US fundamentals with the jobs data remaining mixed while inflation continues to come in softer suggesting that the Fed is behind the curve.

Welcome back to The Quiet Pivot, my mini series for those in-between chapters—the ones where the old outfit doesn't fit, but the new one isn't quite tailored yet. In this episode, I'm taking you behind the scenes of my own pivotal transition: from a well-paid, intellectually stimulating geophysics career in oil and gas to my current role as a bridge builder for meaningful, sustainable futures.Episode Highlights:The Sandpaper Feeling: I introduce my signature term for that subtle, persistent friction between who you want to be and how your work feels. This isn't burnout or boredom, but a quiet signal that something's out of sync.Society's Labels & Black-or-White Thinking: From colleagues who couldn't understand walking away to outsiders judging my industry, I explore the challenge of moving forward when everyone wants to put you in a box. Is your past a liability, or can it be a launching pad for positive change?Reframing the Pivot: Rather than running from my past, I chose to move toward what aligns with my strengths, curiosity, and values. I explain why chasing what energizes you is so much more sustainable than fleeing what drains you.Resources & Links:Read more about the science of fun and access my pivot tools at vklavenes.substack.comExplore additional resources at storiesforthefuture.com/pivotWant to be a guest on Stories for the future: Beyond the Bubble?

“What story are you living and what story are you leaving.” DeLand McCullough In this powerful Father's Day special of The Pivot Podcast, Ryan, Fred, and Channing sit down with Super Bowl-winning coach DeLand McCullough for one of the most incredible and inspiring conversations about family and faith. Known for his work on the field, DeLand opens up about the deeply personal journey off the field that reshaped his life — discovering his biological father as an adult and learning how that revelation changed his understanding of identity, fatherhood, and destiny. It's the kind of story you'd think was scripted in Hollywood — a man at birth grows up never knowing his biological family, becomes a star athlete and championship coach, and then, in a twist no screenwriter could invent, discovers that the mentor who helped shape his football journey is actually his biological father. It's a full-circle moment filled with fate, family, and rejuvenation — a real-life ‘long-lost father' story that doesn't just tug at your heartstrings, it rewrites them. Through candid reflection and heartfelt honesty, he talks about what it means to be a father — to his own sons, including those following in his football footsteps — and how the lessons he's learned have molded the man he is today. This isn't just a conversation about football — it's about the bonds that define us, the stories we carry, and the choices we make that can break generational cycles and that faith is real if you allow it to lead you. We get into all the hows, the whys and whats but for more detailed perspective, check out DeLand's book- Runs In The Family, for a written adaptation of his story, one that seems fiction but as real as it comes.  Tune in and Pivot with purpose on this day, as we celebrate Father's Day with a story that will move you, inspire you, and remind you of the strength in every day.

What happens when an entrepreneur's greatest innovation isn't a product, but his approach to fatherhood? Shawn Rhoder's remarkable journey weaves through military service, fashion retail, and revolutionary barber design before arriving at his most fulfilling venture yet—being a present father.Shawn's story begins with pure hustle. After military service, driven by a passion for sneaker culture and design, he meticulously crafted a business plan for a modern men's store. During the 2008 financial crisis, banks repeatedly rejected him until one loan officer at Broadway Bank recognized something special in Shawn's vision. Years later, that same business plan would become a teaching tool for other loan officers seeking promising entrepreneurs.Eventually saving enough to launch independently, Shawn opened SCR in what was once Selena Quintanilla's boutique. The store showcased exclusive brands like Karhu (who originally owned the three stripes later sold to Adidas) and brought minimalist, thoughtfully curated fashion to San Antonio. Despite being "five to ten years ahead of the curve" for his market, Shawn's innovative spirit remained undaunted.When challenges arose, Shaen pivoted to barbering with the same visionary approach. After immersing himself in cosmetology and barber training, he identified fundamental flaws in the industry's business model. His solution? Nomad—a revolutionary mobile barbering concept featuring a custom-designed "Rover" chair system that empowered barbers to work autonomously while keeping more of their earnings. Every detail was meticulously considered, from material strength to accessibility for clients with disabilities.But Shawn's most powerful innovation came unexpectedly. A friend observed that he had redirected his entrepreneurial energy into raising his children—approaching fatherhood with the same strategic thinking and attention to detail that drove his business ventures. From coordinated, logo-free wardrobes to intentional family "branding," Shawn created a cohesive vision for his family that rivals any business plan.The most poignant moment? When Shawn's young son told him, "I'm glad you weren't as successful as you wanted to be," recognizing that his father's business setbacks created space for a priceless presence in his children's lives. It's a powerful reminder that sometimes our greatest legacy isn't what we build in the marketplace, but who we help build at home.Support the showhttps://www.patreon.com/c/EA_BookClub

Climate change isn't just an environmental issue—it's a market opportunity waiting to be captured. Invert, a carbon reduction and removal company, has raised $26 million to transform how companies think about nature-based investments. Starting from a villa in Antigua during COVID lockdowns, co-founder and CEO Andre Fernandez has built a business that's helping companies put nature on their balance sheets as an accretive investment. In this episode, Andre shares the tactical decisions that took Invert from a cottage conversation between friends to a cash-flow positive business serving some of the largest buyers in the carbon credit space. Topics Discussed: Transitioning from mining focus to broader industry verticals based on market readiness Building customer-centric product development in a complex, non-fungible market Navigating the shift from Carbon Markets 1.0 to premium Carbon Markets 2.0 Balancing direct B2B sales with broker/trader distribution channels Leveraging network effects and domain expertise for customer acquisition Managing long sales cycles in annual purchasing environments Educating buyers in a market where 75% lack dedicated due diligence teams GTM Lessons For B2B Founders: Start with network advantages, then expand strategically: Andre's team began in mining because they had a strong network of mining engineers from Queen's University, one of only two Canadian schools with mining engineering programs. However, they quickly discovered mining was 2-4 years behind other industries in decarbonization readiness. The lesson: leverage your network for initial traction, but don't let it constrain your market expansion. Use early success to identify industries that need your solution today, not in 2-4 years. Build customers into your business from day one: Invert's most important GTM decision was starting with customer input before building anything. Andre emphasized: "We don't build things that we want. We build our customers into our business. Whenever we're developing something new, we ask them for feedback. Sometimes we lock up the contract before we've actually developed the project or the product." This approach reduces market risk and ensures product-market fit from the outset. Navigate complex markets with education-first marketing: In markets where 75% of companies lack dedicated teams for due diligence, marketing must serve dual functions: education and simplification. Andre noted that carbon credits aren't fungible—buyers care about jurisdiction, social impact, biodiversity protection, and other project-specific attributes. Founders in complex B2B markets should design marketing to educate while simultaneously streamlining the buying process for overwhelmed buyers. Pivot distribution strategy based on market liquidity: Initially focused purely on direct B2B relationships, Invert learned that in markets with lower liquidity, partnering with brokers and traders accelerates growth. Andre explained: "Carbon credits is a 12-month at least buying cycle because it's annual, so it takes a lot of time. If you have a network of people who already have those relationships in place and they have buyers who are ready to buy, they can introduce you as a credible counterparty." When your sales cycles are long, leverage existing relationships rather than building everything from scratch. Differentiate through execution, not just messaging: As the carbon credit market matured, Andre observed that "everybody's talking about quality or high integrity. No longer is high integrity or quality just the differentiator." Invert's competitive advantage shifted to actual execution—developing projects, investing balance sheet capital, achieving cash flow positivity, and demonstrating results with large buyers. In maturing markets, operational excellence becomes the key differentiator when messaging parity emerges.   //   Sponsors: Front Lines — We help B2B tech companies launch, manage, and grow podcasts that drive demand, awareness, and thought leadership. www.FrontLines.io The Global Talent Co. — We help tech startups find, vet, hire, pay, and retain amazing marketing talent that costs 50-70% less than the US & Europe.  www.GlobalTalent.co   //   Don't Miss: New Podcast Series — How I Hire Senior GTM leaders share the tactical hiring frameworks they use to build winning revenue teams.

You are in for a very special treat on the podcast this week! Dorrie was delighted to come on and share her journey in stoping over-drinking and is truly LIVING! Dorrie shares what was happening with her when she finally decided she needed help (clue: It wasn't about the alcohol.. it was about what was happening with a family member and how she was using alcohol to cope with the pain from it). She shares what worked for her and of course, where she is now with drinking, which is barely having any and has had many long stretches without it. Dorrie is an example of what is possible when you don't quit and invest in yourself to do whatever it takes to figure it out! Thank you for your transparency Dorrie and for saying YES to you!!

Have you ever watched yourself make the same decision, at the same time, in the same situation—again and again—and thought, “Why do I always do this?” Maybe it's Friday night. You feel tired, drained, maybe a little rebellious. You think, “I'll just loosen up this weekend and start over Monday.” And then Monday rolls around, and you're standing in front of the mirror, wondering how you got back here—again. Welcome back to our 6 part series on excuses called Excuses Exposed. Today we're talking about Predictable patterns.  Predictable patterns are the loops we know by heart. The scripts our brain has memorized. The decisions we almost expect ourselves to make. And the more often they happen, the more permanent they start to feel. But what if “this always happens” didn't mean you were doomed to repeat it? What if it just meant you were in a habit loop that can be rewritten? Before we dig into all that, let's do a final recap of where we've been on this excuses journey. In Episode 1, we talked about excuses as mental habits—not personality flaws. You learned the Excuse-Proofing Process: Pause, Ponder, Pivot, Practice. In Episode 2, we covered emotional excuses—when food feels like a reward, relief, or rebellion. Episode 3 unpacked minimizing excuses—the “just a bite” and “this doesn't count” thoughts that add up over time. In Episode 4, we tackled scarcity excuses—the “now or never” mindset that tricks you into overeating because you think it's your only chance. Last week, in Episode 5, we talked about overwhelm excuses—those “it's too hard” and “I don't have time” thoughts that show up when your brain feels like it's drowning. And now, here we are, at the finale. Predictable patterns. The loops you see coming. The places you fall off track in ways that feel frustratingly familiar. Let's talk about what those patterns mean—and how to change them without needing a complete personality transplant. Ready? Let's go!   https://confidentbody.coach/tips/ BOOK: You Are A Miracle

Scott Galloway (author, entrepreneur, Professor of Marketing at NYU Stern School of Business, and podcast host of The Prof G Pod and Pivot) joins Chris Cuomo to unpack the political chaos surrounding the protests in Los Angeles and the federal government's response. Cuomo and Galloway break down how both major parties are using the situation for political gain, why President Trump's immigration crackdown is strategically timed, and how California Governor Gavin Newsom's role could shape the future of the Democratic Party. Their conversation covers the risks of escalating authoritarian rhetoric, the economic roots of national division, and Galloway's warning that America may be echoing the political tactics of 1930s Germany. He also makes the case for national service and explains why young men are becoming politically disillusioned, while Cuomo continues his longstanding critique of the two-party system and its destructive influence on American politics.

"These five words changed everything: It All Starts With You." Trent Shelton June is Men's Mental Health Month, and on our platform, that means leaning into the tough conversations—asking the hard questions that may be uncomfortable, but are necessary for real change. Sometimes, all it takes is one honest moment, one powerful story, to shift a mindset or spark a breakthrough. In this special episode, we sit down with former NFL player turned motivational force and social media phenomenon, Trent Shelton, for a raw, honest, and deeply necessary dialogue about the emotional struggles many men face behind closed doors. Joined by Ryan Clark, Channing Crowder, and Fred Taylor, Trent shares his powerful journey—from chasing NFL dreams to losing his sense of self, battling depression, and ultimately rediscovering purpose through pain. He opens up about the crushing pressure to appear strong, the stigma around vulnerability, and how real strength lies not in silence, but in healing. Trent recounts the darkest moment in his life—when he nearly gave up—and how one glimmer of hope helped him fight his way back. Together, the guys chat about life after sports, identity crises, the importance of mental health, and how Trent transformed his lowest point into a movement with his powerful message: “It's Rehab Time.” Inspired by the tragic loss of a close friend to suicide, Trent turned pain into purpose, creating a platform for healing and growth. The episode takes an even more personal turn as Channing opens up about grieving the loss of his father, Fred reflects on the weight of quiet moments, and Ryan shares his thoughts on life's next chapter. The conversation is unfiltered, vulnerable, and incredibly moving—a testament to the power of speaking truth, facing pain, and finding strength through faith, family, and brotherhood. Whether you're an athlete, a father, or a man struggling in silence—this conversation is for you. We all have had pivotal moments and know others going through it, we hope this episode serves as a beacon of light for anyone who may need it.

Life has a way of teaching us exactly what we need to learn. For Clarissa Castillo-Ramsey, PsyD, that lesson came in the form of spasmodic dysphonia - a condition that challenged her relationship with her voice just as she was building her coaching practice. But what could have been a setback became a catalyst for deeper transformation, leading her to discover the profound healing power of art and wellness practices.Today, Clarissa is an international best-selling author, award-winning Transformational Coach, and internationally collected abstract artist whose work touches lives across the globe. Through her top-rated podcast Painting Your Path™, she guides women in midlife and beyond to rediscover their authentic selves - helping them break free from imposter syndrome, release perfectionism, and reconnect with who they are before the world told them who to be.Drawing from her own journey of healing through art and personal development, Clarissa creates transformative experiences that blend creativity, wellness, and self-discovery.Her programs, including Painting Your Path to Self-Expression, From Cubicle to Creative Life, and The Courageous Leadership Summit, have empowered over 4,000 creatives and professionals to step into their full potential. Whether working with clients one-on-one, in intimate groups, or through immersive retreats, she brings her unique blend of tough love and unwavering belief in possibilities to every interaction.While her expertise has been featured in VoyageLA, Bold Journey, Medium, and top-rated podcasts like The Art and Soul Show and Thrive Radio, Clarissa's greatest joy comes from witnessing the moment when someone realizes they can paint their own path forward - just as she did when she discovered that every challenge, even losing her voice, can lead to a beautiful new canvas.Find more from Clarissa here: https://linktr.ee/ClarissaCastilloRamseyGet your Jumpstart Journal here: http://subscribepage.io/YCauoKWork with me: www.karaleighgarrison.com/coaching

This episode unpacks the importance of networking for health professionals who want to pivot careers. Years spent in clinical roles often confines health professionals to a siloed environment with limited access to a broader industry network. When you're pivoting out of clinical practice, networking becomes critical as it's more than just ‘meeting people'—it's about opening doors to new ways of thinking, new opportunities, and even a new identity. Clinicians are used to structured environments where roles are clearly defined. But outside of healthcare, career paths aren't always linear, and opportunities often come from conversations rather than job postings.  Networking helps you see what's possible by learning from others who've pursued different paths.  It also helps you find mentors, discover roles you may never have considered, and—most importantly—start being seen as more than your job title. It's one of the most powerful tools for accelerating your pivot. In this episode You will learn: What mindset shifts are needed around networking for clinical professionals What types of networks or people health professionals should connect with outside of clinical settings How to diversify your network when pivoting out of clinical work The best networking strategies or platforms for career pivoters  How to add value to a new network if you're unsure what you bring to the table   Take Action Here are three simple steps you can take this week to start building your network—without overwhelm Reach out to one person you admire who has made a similar pivot Join one new community—this could be a LinkedIn group or a professional association  Update your LinkedIn headline to reflect where you're headed, not just your current role.

This episode is about something that hit harder than I expected when I lost my job in oil and gas: Not the income. Not the office.But the identity.Who was I if I wasn't “Veslemøy, the geophysicist”?What was I supposed to say at parties, in my bio, or when someone casually asked, “So, what do you do?”In this solo episode, I talk about how I'd unknowingly tied my self-worth to my job title — and what happened when that label disappeared.You'll hear how I started peeling back the layers, reconnecting with parts of myself I'd shelved for years, and learning how to sketch a new identity from the inside out.

In this powerful episode, we sit down with esthetician and business owner Erin Malinski to talk about what it really means to start over—by choice. After building a successful business, Erin made the bold decision to relocate and begin again in a brand-new market. What followed was a deeply transformative journey that challenged her identity, refined her priorities, and reconnected her to her purpose.Erin shares the behind-the-scenes emotional and strategic shifts she experienced, what she learned about trusting herself through transition, and how choosing alignment over attachment can open the door to more freedom, clarity, and growth. If you're in a season of change, this episode will remind you that starting over isn't failure—it's often the beginning of your most aligned chapter.

In the fifth episode of The Hundred Year Pivot, Demetri Kofinas and I sit down with economist Charles Calomiris for a probing exploration of America's fiscal future and the deeper societal forces shaping it. The conversation delves into the concept of fiscal dominance—the point at which mounting government debt and deficits compel inflationary policies, sidelining the intentions of central banks, with Charles warning that the US is edging closer to this scenario, driven by unsustainable deficits and a political system gridlocked by the self-interest of key voting blocs and an unwillingness to confront hard choices around entitlements like Social Security and Medicare. However, the discussion moves beyond the technicalities of economic policy as Charles contends that the roots of the crisis are as much moral and societal as they are financial, pointing to a broader decline in civic responsibility and shared values across generations. Drawing on historical parallels, he suggests that periods of crisis can also spark transformative leadership and a renewed search for social cohesion. This leads to a reflection on the possibility of hope—if individuals and communities can rediscover a sense of purpose and responsibility—as well as the importance of integrity and leadership at every level.
