In this first installment of the Leadership Pivots series, Rev. Russ dives into the reality that leadership always carries tension—but that tension, when healthy, can create traction that moves us forward.This episode explores the tension of false starts: when leaders or teams initiate a project without clear direction, focus, or adequate resources. Rev. Russ emphasizes that without a clearly defined aim, even the most gifted leaders and teams can end up spinning their wheels.Through practical examples and biblical insight, he challenges leaders in ministry, business, and life to clarify the “win,” align team strengths, and give direction that empowers people to thrive in their gifts.

Great Northern Minerals Ltd (ASX:GNM) general manager of US Projects Scott Downsborough talked with Proactive's Stephen about the company's strategic shift into the US critical minerals sector, following its acquisition of the Catalyst Ridge Project in California. Previously focused on gold exploration in Australia, the company has pivoted toward critical minerals, identifying the US as a key growth market. Downsborough noted this marks "the first project for Great Northern in this area and in this space", signalling a foundational step in its new direction. Catalyst Ridge is strategically located adjacent to MP Materials' rare earths operation in the Mountain Pass District—the only rare earths mine in the US. Downsborough highlighted major backing for the area, stating, "The US government has come out with some really strong support for MP Materials through a $400 million investment", with a further $500 million investment from Apple into local recycling infrastructure. Initial exploration will focus on rock chip and soil sampling, followed by drilling informed by early results. The company has also completed a A$2.60 million capital raise, aimed at funding early-stage exploration. "Over the next few weeks, we'll have a more formal plan on how we propose to start those exploration works," Downsborough added. For more interviews like this, visit Proactive's YouTube channel.

Kicking off the new season with the spirited Adria Arjona for what was, incredibly, her first solo podcast ever. As someone whose face is literally on billboards outside my place currently, I found this fact both shocking and oddly kismet. It's a special treat to share this unexpected and refreshing punk rock side of her with you all. What you'll discover about Adria is that beyond being gorgeous – which, obviously – she's a dynamic, perceptive citizen of the world with a penchant for doing "bad things." And I mean that in the best possible way. She's the kind of person who makes you immediately start plotting how to become her best friend. Born in Puerto Rico, half Guatemalan, raised in Mexico, and shaped by a nomadic childhood following her father Ricardo Arjona on tour – one of the best-selling Latin American artists of all time – Adria learned early that home isn't a place, it's found in people and rituals. A lesson that serves her well in an industry that keeps her constantly moving between London, LA, and everywhere in between. There are SO many gems here, but a few that really stayed with me is how selling merch on her dad's tours taught her the art of hustling, a career-changing audition failure, and how producing has changed her as an actor for the better.   AOP SUBSTACK

Nadia Cobalovic is Senior Vice President at Northern Trust and Global Head of Omnium Services, where she oversees teams encompassing Middle Office Operations, Back Office Administration and Data Delivery. She also contributes to business growth, strategic initiatives and new initiatives. Our conversation starts with her early career aspirations to be a war correspondent and later, to work in U.S. government agencies. Delays and bottlenecks ultimately led to a forced—but serendipitous—pivot into financial services. What began as a temporary role at Citadel became the start of a dynamic 25+ year journey, one that now finds her leading Omnium Services at Northern Trust—still alongside some of the same colleagues who have been part of her career from the very beginning.We speak then about the evolving world of hedge fund services and how AI, cyber security concerns and changing investor and fund needs are shaping it. Moving to career reflections we discuss the importance of giving credit where it is due – sometimes to oneself, and the joys that working for a supportive team – and together – for over 25 years can bring. With thanks to Baillie Gifford for sponsoring Series 4 of 2025.

What happens when your business no longer fits the market—or the law? In this episode, we explore the challenges of pivoting, from labor law changes to zoning regulations to personal burnout. We share stories of sitters who had to shift away from overnights, navigate the shift from independent contractors to W2 employees, or give up in-home boarding due to city requirements. While pivots can feel like rejection of our original vision, they also open doors to resilience, creativity, and new opportunities. Ultimately, give yourself grace, communicate with clients, and stay grounded in your mission of serving people and pets. Main Topics Forced pivots from labor laws Market misfit and niching down Personal capacity and burnout Overnights, IC vs W2 challenges Zoning, licensing, and compliance Main takeaway: “Pivots are not a failure. They're a way for your business to keep going and keep growing and serve more people.” It's easy to feel like you've failed when your business vision doesn't match reality. Maybe new labor laws mean you can't keep using ICs. Maybe your market doesn't want the service you love most. Or maybe your own energy and capacity have changed. But pivoting isn't quitting—it's adapting. Each pivot is a chance to realign with your mission, meet your clients' needs, and keep moving forward. The heart of your business isn't a single service—it's the relationships and trust you've built. Links: Check out our Starter Packs See all of our discounts!

In this intimate episode, I take you through my deeply personal 26-day healing journey — a time marked by grief, injury, spiritual awakening, and unexpected transformation.From breaking my foot the night of my 40th birthday, to navigating emotional burnout and reconnecting with my mother, this chapter of life cracked me open in the most profound ways.I share the story of my ex, DJ, and how his passing — layered with the chaos of Hurricane Hilary (Southern California's first tropical storm in 84 years) — catalyzed a deep spiritual pivot.

Every founder of a company faces this quandary: What does our next phase look like? How do we get there? Who can help us get there?Sophia Harris and her leadership team at ODRG, which she founded in 2013, faced those questions head-on as they plotted out the company's next steps and that led them to partnering with Advantage Capital.This episode begins with Harris telling our Ross Wilkers the full story of ODRG's hard pivot to being a national security and geospatial technology specialist. She also describes how that positioned ODRG to eventually be ready for an external investor, something that has always been in the front of her mind.Keeping employees and customers onside was no easy feat, and one Harris speaks in-depth about in the conversation. Harris also describes how she faced the other common founder's quandary: Am I ready to give up full control of the company I started?

Justin Ballard (@JLB_Oso) and Jake Corley (@jacobcorley) sit down with Bitfarms power duo Rachel Silverstein (GC & firm-builder) and Alex Brammer (ex-Ranger turned HPC czar) to map out Bitfarms' high-voltage pivot from pure Bitcoin mining to hyperscale AI infrastructure.

Discover why a “dream-team” exec roster, project-level debt, and a land-plus-power land-grab strategy could vault Bitfarms from blocks to bots—and what it all means for energy markets, AI's compute arms race, and the future of work.

Interview with Stephen Hanson, President & CEO of Surface Metals Inc.Our previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/acme-lithium-acme-despatches-from-the-lithium-front-line-3054Recording date: 14th July 2025Surface Metals (CSE:SUR), formerly Acme Lithium, has successfully executed a strategic transformation that positions the company for value creation across two critical commodity sectors. Under CEO Stephen Hanson's leadership, the company has pivoted from pure lithium exploration to gold development while maintaining its valuable lithium asset foundation.The strategic shift emerged from pragmatic market realities as lithium prices declined and EV demand slowed over the past 18 months. Rather than abandoning the long-term energy transition thesis, Hanson explained the rationale: "As a board and a management team we started to evaluate our assets and say listen we work for the shareholders. Creating shareholder value is my number one priority."The centerpiece of this transformation is the April 2025 acquisition of 90% of the Cimarron gold project in Nevada's renowned Walker Lane trend. Located just 14 miles from Kinross's Round Mountain mine, the property boasts impressive historical data from major companies including Newmont and Echo Bay. Historical intercepts include 26 meters of nearly 5 grams per ton gold, with surface samples reaching 120 grams per ton.The project benefits from Nevada's world-class mining jurisdiction and favorable geology, featuring a shallow epithermal system with mineralization extending to surface. This configuration offers significant cost advantages and exploration potential beyond the existing 50,000-ounce resource, with targets for expansion to over one million ounces.Surface Metals maintains its lithium portfolio as strategic foundation value, including a 300,000-ton lithium carbonate resource in Clayton Valley and successful partnerships like the Snow Lake Energy joint venture in Manitoba. With holding costs of only tens of thousands annually, the company can maintain these assets through market cycles.Trading at approximately $5 million Canadian market cap, Surface Metals offers investors dual commodity exposure at an attractive entry point. The company plans drilling at Cimarron by early 2026, following systematic database modernization and permitting processes that typically require 90-120 days in Nevada's streamlined regulatory environment.View Surface Metals' company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/acme-lithiumSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

In this special episode, Gresham Harkless is in a transitional phase of his franchise broker journey, approaching day 197 with a mindset shift toward embracing the unpredictability and learning that comes with building a business.   Gresham explores the value of high-ticket sales through deeper, trust-based conversations rather than chasing volume.    Reflecting on his results so far, he highlights that out of roughly 200 leads, only a handful turned into quality conversations, and just one might be nearing a deal.   Gresham acknowledges that he's still in the early "baby giraffe" stage of development, unsteady but learning, and is increasingly drawn to a long-game approach where he acts as a connector and co-creator in the franchise industry.   Gresham intends to evolve into more of a "connection broker", someone who doesn't just sell but helps co-create opportunities by doing things differently, like strategic content creation and deeper, more intentional networking.

On Monday, President Donald Trump announced two measures aimed at pressuring Russia to negotiate an end to the war in Ukraine. First, Trump said Russia would face tariffs “at about 100%” if it did not agree to a peace deal in the next 50 days, adding that he would impose secondary sanctions on countries that buy Russian oil, such as China, India, Brazil, and Turkey. Second, he outlined a plan for countries in the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) to purchase weapons from the United States and then transfer them to Ukraine. The announcement follows recently heightened criticism from President Trump towards Russian President Vladimir Putin over his purported unwillingness to end the war.
