Can You Cultivate Genius?The question is: can you cultivate genius? What do you think?First, a quote from my mama, Caron McCloud. She says, “I decided early on that I mattered.”Today's episode shares how my mom Karen McCloud encouraged me to cultivate my genius, why I think it's important for women to learn to cultivate their genius, and how brainwave shifts can show us what we do not usually see — including a meditation to access the theta brainwave for your insights, as well as an exciting invitation that includes Amy Ahlers. Hint: it includes the genius we share about money, sex, and influence. So here we go.Let's talk about genius, my friends, and why it matters. First, a question: What would it take to be able to say, I am genius, without qualifying or needing to prove? Most of us don't think we are. This isn't about other people thinking you are, but about cultivating a genius space where fresh thoughts can arise.The term genius comes from the Latin verb gignere, meaning to beget, to produce, or to bring forth. This same root gives us the words generate and genetics. In Rome, your genius was the birth spirit that shaped your personality, guided your destiny, and protected you throughout life. And I can't help but think about the word genie being the root of genius.Very little space is given to the development of our innate genius, and this concerns me. We need more women living in the fullness of their power.But there's a problem. We might not know this is a choice — that we get to cultivate our genius. It may never occur to us that we have a genius to access at all, really. Most of us have never spent hours, let alone days, watching what truly wants to come through us: an insight, an innovation, a worldview built to actually design our lives and relationships.The drafting table Mama gave meI want to start with a personal story that even now kind of blows my mind. Let me take off my shoes now and step onto the ground as I remember this.My mother Karen McLeod was a genius. She encouraged me to write and recite poetry. She bought me a drafting table for my 13th birthday and told me, this is where you work out your ideas. Draw here, paint here, write here. She said, I want you to think as if the thing you're thinking about could be life-saving for yourself and for others. I want you to treat yourself as if you absolutely matter. And the world will be a different place unless you inhabit it with everything you're carrying.She'd send me to my room saying, go write a poem and don't come out until you have a draft. She taught me to treat my thinking as if it completely mattered — and as if I did.If she hadn't given me that framework to explore myself, I doubt the thought would have ever crossed my mind. Because it's audacious, isn't it? It is audacious to devote an hour or a day to your own genius just to see what's available to you.That is what I'm doing right now with two of my genius friends. We are in a sister mind, each quietly working on our own material, then discussing, then back to the drawing table for a 24-hour cycle. This — the cultivation of your genius — is what I've invited women to do for over 30 years. It's what I've built a long-term business and community on.What if our brilliant ideas are in the future? And what if that future is just a few minutes in the future, and accessible — like, right now?Why We Don't Go ThereThere are reasons we don't create the time to cultivate genius. Here are a few.Ego. We're taught not to have an ego. Not to get too big for our britches. Not to be too smart.Fear. We're warned that if people knew how much sacred medicine we're carrying, we could be a danger to ourselves or others.Worth. In the same breath, we're told we aren't worthy, and that there's no real value in cultivating our consciousness. Don't be too big — but be big enough.Those of us in the business world get another script entirely: be more masculine, hustle, grasp, win at all costs, even at cost to yourself. Experiences like hustle and win are almost a deadening place for genius. Genius doesn't grow in the hard ground of striving. It grows in a field of wildflowers, where you lay back and gaze at the sky and ask questions of your own consciousness.And I think the most obvious reason we don't go there, into the space of genius, is simpler. We don't know how. We haven't been shown. We've been prevented from it, and taught to devalue it.Here's how. Access flow state within. Focused, intentional inquiry. That is how. Focused, intentional creativity. That is how.A Little Brain ScienceLet me show you why. Here's a little of the brain science, because it's worth understanding. Our brains move through different electrical rhythms, and each one gives us access to a different kind of thinking.Most of our waking day runs on beta — the busybody, alert, task-managing state. This is the ground of usual day-to-day being. Beta is where we answer emails and cross things off lists. It's useful, but it's narrow. It can only show us a certain number of things, and we can come to think beta is the only place there is — just like we think we are only so smart, and that's how we're born. The issue isn't beta. It's in not knowing how to get out of it into new territory.When we soften and let the mind open, we can visit the bridge to alpha — the relaxed, imaginative, daydreaming state. This is the bridge. It's the gentle threshold between doing and receiving, the en route that takes us into possibility. We can feel the change in our body as our brain loosens its tight grasp on what there is to do and moves into presence.And just past that, theta — the slow, intuitive, dreamlike rhythm we touch as we fall into deep meditation and self-expression. Theta is where the subconscious becomes available to us by choice, where we can even dip a toe into the unconscious. This is where the eureka lives: the vision, the aha, the change we want to make in the world. It's so often conceived here, in expanded possibility.But can we get it back into beta? That's one of our questions.Here's the curious catch. That brilliant idea is conceived in theta, and then we have to carry it all the way back to beta — back to the day-to-day world of action steps. Many people cultivate a vision for years and never find the steps to ground it. So in our community, we travel into theta on purpose, and then we consciously bring that realm of information back into beta, so we can take decisive action on behalf of the vision.As Gertrude Stein puts it, being a genius takes a lot of time sitting around doing nothing. I just call that tea with the muse. It's the pause that makes the cultivation possible.A Ritual to Try TodayIf you want to try it today, here's a ritual.Sit quietly and look out a window. Pick a point as far away as you can see, and fix your gaze there. Pretend you can travel to that spot while staying exactly where you are. Let your breathing deepen and lengthen. Feel your belly soften, and the space between your eyebrows soften too. Let loose the grip, smooth the worry lines, and begin to listen to your inner world.Then state your intention three times: I am here to cultivate my genius. I am here to cultivate my genius. I am here to cultivate my genius.And then you pause. You just be. You just listen. If nothing comes, say, show me one thing I need to know today. And wait. It may take time. You may need to return to this for a week or two.Mama McLeod says this: keep looking at the stories that we tell, and the stories that we don't tell, and take responsibility for them. Create a context that's big enough to live a big life — and then live into that context. Context provides a theme, and it provides a perspective: a way of going about living our lives as a great adventure, and making choices about what we want that story to be. A context defines, and provides an identity to occur from.So the answer is yes. You can cultivate genius by choice. I do. You can too. Let's do it, and teach the others around us. I'm right here with you — in the heart, in the field, in the quantum now.P.S. — Keep your eyes out…I have exciting news. If you're a woman looking for a breakthrough in midlife — in money, sex, and influence — watch this space for an emergent invitation from me and Amy Ahlers, my incredible coach and BFF for the past 16 years.Amy and I have been working on a project behind the scenes to serve women entrepreneurs and those in corporate spaces, to claim their superpowers of prosperity, sexuality, identity, leadership, and intuition. It is a hybrid of virtual private one-on-one coaching and in-person gatherings — the ultimate mastermind, a council for powerful women. This is a dream of ours, and we're bringing it to you. We've been teaching together since 2012.Applications for Powerhouse are opening soon, and we begin in September.Thank you so much for tuning in to Tea with the Midnight Muse.Much love, Shiloh SophiaThis is a video from 10 years ago where you can hear Caron McCloud speaking about mattering.

What can the rest of the world learn from one of Europe's most impressive digital health ecosystems? This week on Pulse: Amplify, Louise and George sit down with Inma Rodríguez, Market Intelligence Manager at ACCIÓ (Catalonia Trade & Investment), who led the Digital Health in Catalonia Report 2026 — a rare regional analysis that benchmarks Catalonia against the US, Asia and the rest of Europe.Inma unpacks where Europe really sits in the global market (and whether it's keeping pace or falling behind), why digital health growth is settling into a more mature ~5% a year, and whether Europe's focus on regulation, interoperability and data governance is a brake or a long-term advantage. She explains how Catalonia became the 4th region in the world for foreign health-innovation investment, the role anchor investors like AstraZeneca play, and why 65% of the region's digital health companies are building with AI. The conversation also turns to the honest gap revealed in Catalonia's hospital survey — strong ambition, moderate maturity — and the cultural, budget and patient-habit barriers slowing real-world implementation. Inma closes with the seven trends shaping 2026, why AI, personalised medicine and health data spaces top her list, and the 2030 headline she most wants to see.A data-rich conversation for anyone who wants evidence, not hype, about where digital health is heading.Stryker Vocera's Initial Delays Diagnosis Quiz LinkCheck out the ACCIO Report hereConnect with Inma on LinkedInVisit Pulse+IT.news to subscribe to breaking digital news, weekly newsletters and a rich treasure trove of archival material.

What does the future of the American workforce look like when you bypass the traditional four-year college track entirely? In this episode of An Educated Guest, we sit down with Kermit Cook, the CEO of Penn Foster, to explore how a distance-learning model founded in 1890 to train coal miners has evolved into a hyper-modern platform educating hundreds of thousands of middle-skill workers. Kermit shares his unique personal trajectory from management consulting and Teach for America to the helm of a massive EdTech ecosystem, explaining the passion for equitable career pathways that drives his work.We dive deep into the booming market of online high schools. Kermit breaks down why an online diploma provides far more robust workforce pathways than a traditional GED, and how a student profile that is largely 37-year-old working women is leveraging asynchronous learning to achieve economic mobility. He pulls back the curtain on the real-world economics of their model, contrasting Penn Foster's $1,600 total tuition against the skyrocketing per-pupil costs of traditional public education.Finally, we tackle the highly anticipated role of artificial intelligence in education. Kermit moves past the San Francisco tech hype to discuss practical, continuous-improvement pedagogy. He reveals how Penn Foster is using AI to analyze exactly where students get stuck in difficult courses, boosting completion rates from 20% to 70%, and how automated outreach allows their human coaches to step in exactly when a struggling adult learner needs a lifeline.
Send us Fan MailYou can learn a lot about leadership from someone who once graduated with a 2.0, started at junior college, and still fought his way to a master's degree and a long head coaching career. We're talking with Baldwin Wallace University head wrestling coach Jamie Gibbs, a Division III wrestling staple in Northeast Ohio who's built his program the hard way: by betting on people, setting a standard, and staying consistent long after the hype fades.We trace his path from rural Iowa and Western Dubuque High School to college wrestling, coaching, and big moves across the country, including a stretch in the UNC system before landing in Berea. Coach Gibbs opens up about how mentors changed everything, why culture matters more than shortcuts, and what it means to develop student-athletes beyond “getting your hand raised.” If you care about college athletics, wrestling recruiting, and real athlete development, you'll hear practical insight on depth charts, retention, and building confidence in a room full of competitors.We also get into the fun stuff: stories about former BW standouts, early UFC toughness, and a straight answer on what separates a great Division III wrestler from a great Division I wrestler.

In this episode of the Make Your Message a Movement podcast, host Tiffany Neuman delivers a powerful critique of the modern "content machine" and announces the death of performative personal branding. As the digital landscape shifts from an attention-based economy to a discernment economy, Tiffany explores why constant visibility and chasing algorithms are no longer the keys to success.Drawing from her personal experience of stepping away from major social media platforms, she explains why the future belongs to "quiet powerhouses": experts who prioritize depth, original thought, and sustainable ecosystems over superficial engagement. This episode is a call to action for leaders to stop acting like influencers and start building a lasting body of work that reflects their true expertise.Key TakeawaysThe Shift to the Discernment Economy: We are moving away from an era that rewards speed and volume (the attention economy) toward one that values depth, trust, and human resonance. In a world saturated by AI-generated content, unique perspectives and original thought become the ultimate differentiators.Performance vs. Expertise: For too long, the internet has rewarded those who are the loudest rather than those who are the most skilled. The "performative" version of personal branding is collapsing in favor of genuine leadership.The Rise of the "Quiet Powerhouse": Many individuals with the deepest wisdom have avoided the spotlight because they didn't want to be "influencers." This new era is designed for them, allowing experts to lead through their work rather than through a constant digital performance.Infrastructure Over Content: Audiences don't need more "crap" or daily posts; they need stronger infrastructures around ideas. This includes long-form thought leadership, clear messaging, and a robust platform (like a website or podcast) where people can engage with a body of work over time.The Social Media Paradox: Tiffany shares how leaving Facebook and Instagram actually strengthened her business by clearing her mental space and forcing her to focus on real relationships, referrals, and high-level thought leadership.Playing the Long Game: Sustainable business growth comes from building trust, which compounds slowly but lasts much longer than the volatile "instant attention" generated by viral trends.Mentioned Resources:Brand OS Pro: Tiffany's program designed to help experts and speakers codify their wisdom, build deeper roots, and use AI intentionally to develop an Authority Brand + Website.About the HostTiffany Neuman is a brand strategist and the host of the Make Your Message a Movement podcast. She specializes in helping experts and leaders transition out of the "content hamster wheel" and into a position of compounding authority through original intellectual property and human-centric brand operating systems.Rate, Review, and Follow on Your Favorite Platform!

There are just two teams left in the fight to become NBA champions this year, and they are two teams that no one expected to get this far: the New York Knicks and the San Antonio Spurs. What can we expect from this underdog matchup? We'll talk it out with Marcus Thompson, a lead columnist who covers the NBA at The Athletic.Then we'll hear from someone who's no stranger to NBA championships: Michael Cooper. He played for the Los Angeles Lakers in the ‘80s, during an era of basketball defined by flashy moves and a run-and-gun style of play. Powerhouse players like Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Magic Johnson were at the forefront. But in the background was Michael Cooper, silently but consistently delivering a defense that cemented their legacy.This week, we sit down with Michael Cooper to learn about how he turned a behind-the-scenes role into one worthy of a highlight reel. He'll also talk through the insecurity he faced as a young player making it in the league, and how he moved past it to become an NBA Hall of Famer.

A “talentless” outcast comes home with the kind of power you can't ignore, and suddenly everyone has a reason to fear him. We're reviewing Kaze no Stigma, following Kazuma Yagami's return to Japan after being exiled by his fire-magic family, only to get blamed for a string of wind-mage killings. From the jump, the show leans into tension: Kazuma doesn't talk it out, he throws hands, and his wind contract with the Wind Spirit King makes every conflict feel like it could level a city block.We walk through the major arcs with spoilers, including Ren's kidnapping and the Fuga clan's demon resurrection attempt, the “ghost” at school that turns out to be pixie trouble, and the Mount Fuji storyline where Ayumi's clone reveal pushes the series into darker territory. If you've ever searched for a Kaze no Stigma review that actually explains the plot momentum, the character motivations, and why certain moments still hit, we've got you. We also talk about the core appeal: the Kazuma and Ayano dynamic, the bickering that feels weirdly honest, and the way comedy and rivalry keep peeking through even when the stakes get ugly.Then Pandemonium flips the switch. A mysterious online game spreads magic to normal teens, real life starts getting treated like an RPG, and Kazuma's buried trauma drags him into a ruthless “Black Wind” phase that hurts the people closest to him. We break down what works, what feels like it's just checking boxes, and why our final rating is a 7 out of 10: solid, enjoyable, and nostalgic, but not quite an all-timer.

"Bitcoin is being embraced by the U.S. and the U.S. financial system and it is it being embraced by Iran and the Iranian regime at the exact same time and both of them know that they can use it without the other one threatening it. And that puts it in an insanely unique place in a world where there are no monies that work like that anymore." ~ Guy Swann We live in a world where global money printers are silently bleeding your savings out the back door. But the real threat isn't only the U.S. dollar. China's money supply is huge right now, and nobody asked your permission before letting international policy dilute the value of your hard work. We are watching an incredible shift happen in real-time. Powerhouse nations and heavily sanctioned regimes are suddenly eyeing the exact same monetary network, proving that true, neutral money works whether you are allies or sworn enemies. I recently sat down with Walker America to pull the curtain back on this whole financial illusion. We talked about the completely made-up nonsense of the Federal Reserve's inflation targets, and how the legacy system lets financial giants buy up the world with free fiat, just so they can rent it back to us. But the biggest paradox we explored is why the United States dollar actually cannot hyperinflate right now. A total currency collapse requires a giant release valve, and you might be surprised by what has to happen to the Bitcoin network before that pressure can finally escape. A huge thank you to Walker for hosting this conversation on RoxomTV. We had such a great back-and-forth about our breaking financial system that I had to drop this episode straight into your feed.

The Western Australian property market is undergoing an unprecedented squeeze, but one broker has unlocked the secret to turning record-low supply into rapid business growth. Max Miorada of Momentum Wealth made the move from construction to broking six years ago and this year claimed the Editor's Choice Award for Western Australia at the Better Business Awards 2026 in recognition of his relentless commitment to client service and sophisticated property investment advice.

This podcast is the latest in our collaboration with the Always a Pensions Angle podcast produced by DG Publishing. Peter Wallach is Director of Pensions at Merseyside Pension Fund, a position he took up in April 2007. He started his career in private banking, where he worked in the City for 12 years. In 1997 he joined Close Wealth Management as an investment manager, and in 2004 he joined Merseyside Pension Fund. Our discussion, which is Peter's first time being interviewed by Aoifinn Devitt, so his first appearance on the podcast, was a long time coming, in that Peter has been a long-term steady hand in the LGPS, combining investment acumen with operational insight. Our discussion focused on the evolution at Northern LGPS and we asked what needed to evolve there to meet the new demands of pooling. Peter cites the benefits of collaboration between pools an effective way of delivering the government's agenda and he mentions both GLIL, as well as a housing initiative that Northern is working on with LPPI. He also mentions the potential for collaboration with DC master trusts as they grow in scale. We touch then on the fund's responsible investment policy and how that will evolve under pooling and Peter mentions the fund's baseline as well as its interim milestones. He discusses the importance of targets not being too rigid while still being ambitious.

What if the reason you feel more tired, foggy, or just not like yourself anymore… isn't just hormones or “getting older” — but something happening deeper in your body? In this episode, I sit down with Jen Scheinman, a registered dietitian with over 25 years of experience in nutrition and healthy aging and Director of Science Communications at Timeline Nutrition. Jen is one of the leading educators on Urolithin A — a postbiotic compound found in Mitopure — and its role in mitochondrial health, cellular renewal, and longevity. Beyond Timeline, she also runs her own practice, Next Jen Health, where she helps women optimize vitality through the menopause transition and beyond. We explore a part of our health that most of us have never really been taught to think about—our mitochondria, the energy centers inside our cells — and why so many women start to feel a shift in their 30s and 40s, when the things that used to work suddenly don't. Jen breaks down the science in a way that actually makes sense, connecting fatigue, brain fog, and changes in your body to what's happening at the cellular level. We talk about why diet and exercise can stop working the way they used to, how your gut and environment impact your energy, and what's really going on beneath the surface as we age. We also explore the difference between living longer and actually feeling good while you do it — and what it looks like to support your body in a way that aligns with how it truly works. This conversation isn't about quick fixes. It's about understanding your body on a deeper level so you can start to feel like yourself again. Mitopure now starts at just $79.

Potential to Powerhouse: Success Secrets for Women Entrepreneurs
What if the most powerful thing you could do as a leader… is say less? In this solo episode of Potential to Powerhouse, Tracy Holland unpacks one of the most surprising leadership lessons she's learned from Jeff Bezos — and how it completely shifted the way she thinks about influence, communication, and emotional intelligence in business. Drawing from Bezos' philosophy of "speaking last," Tracy explores how entrepreneurs and leaders can unintentionally silence creativity by leading every conversation with their own opinions. She shares why creating space for others to speak first can unlock innovation, psychological safety, honesty, and breakthrough ideas inside teams and families alike. This episode is a powerful reminder that true leadership isn't about being the loudest voice in the room. It's about listening deeply enough to hear the insights you would have otherwise missed. In This Episode, Tracy Shares: Why overwhelm and "drudgery" are signs it's time to delegate The leadership habit Jeff Bezos uses in meetings — and why it works How speaking first can unintentionally shape and limit team conversations Why the most junior person in the room may hold the most valuable insight The connection between leadership and emotional intelligence (EQ) How psychological safety creates innovation and truth-telling A real-life business example where listening saved millions in revenue A practical exercise to improve leadership, communication, and team dynamics this week Key Takeaways The strongest leaders don't dominate conversations — they create space for others to think, contribute, and rise. Tracy challenges entrepreneurs to rethink what leadership really looks like and offers a practical framework for becoming a more effective, emotionally intelligent leader by listening first and speaking last.

Few leaders get the opportunity to reshape a brand as iconic as Nokia—but Stacey Brierley has spent over two decades doing just that. As VP of Brand, she's helped guide Nokia's transformation from a handset giant to the invisible force behind global connectivity. In this episode, she joins Lippincott's Louise Cantrill to share why true transformation isn't about sudden pivots, but long-term, intentional evolution. From redefining a legacy brand for new B2B audiences to aligning teams across cultures, Stacey pulls back the curtain on what it takes to drive change across a global business. She also reflects on the role of curiosity, strategic thinking, and carving out time to step back, showing how asking better questions and rising above the day-to-day noise can turn complexity into clarity.

What does it take for a legacy industrial city to reinvent itself into a modern growth hub? In this episode of Develop This!, Dennis Fraise is joined by Trevor Sutton to explore Birmingham's ongoing economic transformation and the strategies shaping its future. From major wins like the Fannie Mae project to the continued rise of life sciences and metals industries, Birmingham is positioning itself as a diversified and competitive regional economy. Trevor breaks down how strategic investment, infrastructure, and workforce alignment are driving that shift. A major focus of the conversation is workforce development—specifically how the region is working to align education, training, and industry needs to retain talent and support long-term growth.

Birmingham's growth story is less about reinvention and more about intentional alignment across industry, talent, and region. Key Takeaways Birmingham is evolving into a diversified, modern regional economy Major projects like Fannie Mae are reshaping regional momentum Workforce development is central to talent retention and growth Regional collaboration is critical to long-term competitiveness Industry diversity and quality of life must be balanced strategically Key Topics Covered Birmingham's economic transformation The Fannie Mae project and regional impact Workforce development and talent retention Industry diversification and quality of life Regional collaboration and infrastructure Sound Bites "Strong economies are regional economies" "Coffee shops and breweries are overhyped" "Birmingham is a true life sciences hub"

Liebes Team, heute nehme ich euch mal wieder mit in die Welt des Basketballs und stelle euch ein absolutes Powerhouse vor, das euch in unserer heutigen Folge zeigt, dass ihr ALLES schaffen könnt. Sie war Basketballprofi, ist Doktor der Wirtschaftsinformatik - also auch noch ein krasses Brain - und inzwischen versucht sie neben ihrem Vollzeitjob, im Ehrenamt, ihre große Liebe, den Frauenbasketball voranzubringen.

Wir lernen, was man alles wuppen kann, obwohl alles um einen einzubrechen scheint, warum es wichtig ist, so zu sein, wie man sein WILL (auch, wenn andere das anders sehen) und was wir brauchen, damit die Basketball Heim WM der Frauen im September in Berlin ein riesen Erfolg wird.

Hier ist für euch: Dr. Ireti Amojo **Schnitt und Postproduktion: Andy Aksen** https://www.aksenmedia.de/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/andyaksen/

On Sunday, Amazon wrapped up its fourth-annual Summer Beauty Event. Over two weeks, Amazon tempted shoppers with discounts of up to 50% on everything from makeup to vitamins. Even prior to the sale, the retailer did not seem to have trouble courting the beauty consumer. According to data from e-commerce agency Front Row, Amazon cleared $8 billion in U.S. beauty revenue in the first quarter of 2026. But Amazon wants more than just a place to snag beauty at a discount; it wants to be known as a premium beauty destination. On this week's episode of the Glossy Beauty Podcast, hosts Lexy Lebsack and Sara Spruch-Feiner are joined by senior beauty reporter Emily Jensen to discuss the strategy around the e-commerce giant's beauty sales and assortment, and how it's attempting to position itself as a prestige beauty retailer on par with the likes of Sephora and Ulta Beauty. For Amazon, that means not only upping its brand assortment, which has grown to include everything from K-beauty favorites like Medicube to Puig-owned Charlotte Tilbury in recent months, but also encouraging consumers to use its AI-powered shopping assistants in lieu of in-person sales associates. According to Amazon, 300 million customers used its AI shopping assistant Rufus in 2025. On Wednesday, after the recording of this episode, Amazon announced it would replace the Rufus AI assistant with Alexa for Shopping.
