Will AI make entrepreneurship easier—or make entrepreneurs irrelevant?In this episode of Problem Solvers, Jason Feifer sits down with LinkedIn Chief Economic Opportunity Officer Aneesh Raman, co-author of Open to Work: How to Get Ahead in the Age of AI, to rethink the biggest fear around AI and business: that technology is coming for your job, your company, and your edge.Jason shares his “AI is a microwave” theory: it's a powerful new tool, but we're still learning what belongs in it—and what absolutely doesn't. Aneesh explains why AI is lowering the cost of starting a business, making it easier to research markets, build prototypes, and test ideas fast. But as access goes up, so does the premium on something AI cannot replicate: your unique perspective, taste, curiosity, courage, communication, and lived experience.They break down why the future of work is not about humans becoming better AI prompters. It's about becoming more entrepreneurial, more creative, and more distinctly human. In a world flooded with AI-generated sameness and “AI slop,” the people who win will be the ones who use AI to amplify—not replace—their judgment, originality, and connection.

What if every college graduate left campus with the mindset, confidence, and skills to solve complex problems and create opportunities wherever they go? In this episode, Nicole Jansen sits down with Jeff Meade, Founding Director of Entrepreneurship at Paul Quinn College, where every student learns to think and act like an entrepreneur. Rather than preparing students for jobs that may not exist in a few years, Jeff and his team are equipping them to solve real-world problems, create value, embrace failure as part of the learning process, and confidently adapt to an ever-changing world. Together, they explore how entrepreneurial thinking transforms education, strengthens leadership, and prepares students to become innovators, intrapreneurs, business owners, and changemakers.

Send us Fan MailBefore You Teach Math, Build BelongingBefore students are willing to share their thinking, take risks, make mistakes, persevere through a challenging problem, or disagree with a classmate's strategy, they need to believe one thing:I belong here.That's why building a Community of Problem Solvers starts with belonging.In this episode, we're talking about how to intentionally build belonging from the very beginning of the school year, not as something separate from mathematics, but through the way students experience mathematics in your classroom.Because belonging isn't just about making students feel welcome.It's about creating a mathematical community where every student believes their ideas matter, their thinking has value, and they are capable of doing mathematics.Math Survey [download here]FREE First Week Math Plans [download here]The plans will help you intentionally build relationships, establish norms and routines, and get students thinking, solving, and talking about mathematics from the very beginning.Download your free First Week Math Plans using the link below and start building your Community of Problem Solvers from day one.Belonging isn't something we build before mathematics.

In this compelling episode of "The Gospel of the Radio Talk Show," host Pastor Jack King welcomes long-time Assemblies of God pastor and street minister Joe McCutchen from SafeHouse Outreach in Atlanta, Georgia. Together, they dive into the grit, grace, and relentless faith required to minister to individuals dealing with addiction, homelessness, and severe mental illness. Joe shares how God took him from a rebellious 17-year-old walking into church just to satisfy his parents to spending nearly three decades on the frontlines of urban street ministry. Key topics explored in this conversation include: -- The dramatic origin of SafeHouse Outreach, birthed in 1982 through Philip Bray, a former Dixie Mafia drug dealer who surrendered to Jesus at his mother's request and immediately returned to Peachtree Street to win his former associates. -- How a chance encounter involving a former Minneapolis vice cop turned preacher helped launch a movement that began with late-night prayer meetings behind a local hamburger stand. -- The defining moment when Pastor Joe was ready to surrender his church plant in Tampa due to exhaustion and financial ruin, only for a faithful Navy veteran to refuse to let him quit. -- The practical "Problem Solvers" daily ministry at SafeHouse Outreach, providing IDs, birth certificates, family reunions, and bus tickets home to those stranded on the streets. -- The profound truth that a single day of God's favor can accomplish more than a thousand days of human effort. -- A candid and compassionate discussion on the delicate balance between helping people, establishing healthy boundaries, and ensuring ministry efforts truly empower individuals to change their choices. Scriptures for Further Study -- Psalm 37:23-24 -- 1 Kings 19:4-5 -- Luke 15:4-7 -- Ephesians 6:15 This is episode 1288. ******* This is the radio program with the music removed.

Children are naturally curious, creative, and willing to try things many adults hesitate to attempt. When we give them space to explore ideas, incredible things can happen.In this conversation, I speak with Leah Ellis, founder of the Society of Child Entrepreneurs, a nonprofit helping kids ages six to seventeen build confidence, leadership, and real world business skills through hands on entrepreneurship.Inspired by her daughter starting a business at four, Leah created a program where children learn to spot problems, create solutions, and turn their ideas into real businesses. We also talk about her work advocating for lemonade stand laws that remove barriers so kids can safely run small businesses and gain real world experience.Her mission is simple. Kids are capable of leadership right now.In this episode• Why ages eight to twelve are a powerful window for entrepreneurship • The difference between child labor and child entrepreneurship • How kids learn resilience by failing forward • Teaching financial literacy and leadership early • Why problem spotting is the heart of entrepreneurshipLeah leaves us with this challenge:“Ask your kids how in this specific way. Ask your kids something they've noticed that they wish they could change. Then ask them how they would change it, because I bet they already have an idea.

Recognize the 7 Mind Types - How Top Performers Speak Their Customer's LanguageMost salespeople treat every customer the same way. They use one pitch. One approach. One way of communicating. And it doesn't work for everyone.The problem isn't you. The problem is you're not reading the person in front of you. You're not recognizing their mind type.Today Sam sits down with Ridgely Goldsborough, a serial entrepreneur who's started forty-five companies, authored twenty books, and was Jim Rohn's voice in Latin America for decades. In this episode, Ridgely teaches you how to recognize the seven different mind types so you can adapt your communication and close more deals.What You'll Learn:The seven mind types and how to spot them instantly. The Giver loves to make a difference. The Connector values trust above all else. The Problem Solver needs data to make sense of things. The Innovator always wants a better way. The Perfectionist does things right. The Rebel challenges everything. The Master wants depth. Each one is wired differently. Each one communicates differently.Why knowing someone's mind type changes everything. Once you know their mind type, you know their communication keywords. Use those words and they respond as strongly as they respond to their own name. That builds trust. That closes deals.How each mind type has a superpower and a kryptonite. The Giver's superpower is causes. Their kryptonite is overcommitment. The Connector's superpower is trust. Their kryptonite is waste. The Problem Solver's superpower is solutions. Their kryptonite is paralysis when they don't have enough data. Every mind type is exceptional at something and struggles with something else. Knowing yours means you can play to your strength and manage your weakness.Why people who think like you are easy to work with, and why everyone else is difficult. When you don't understand someone's mind type, you clash. The Giver overwhelms the Connector. The Problem Solver frustrates the Innovator. The Perfectionist stifles the Rebel. But when you understand each other's mind type, everything changes.How your personal philosophy shapes which mind type you are. What you read, listen to, watch, and who you hang around with forges who you become. That determines your mind type. That determines how you communicate. That determines your results.Potential beats talent every single time. Someone twenty percent good making one hundred calls talks to twenty people. Someone fifty percent good making ten calls talks to five. Effort beats talent. Volume beats skill. The person willing to work is the person who wins.Why This Matters:If you're struggling to close deals, you probably already know how to sell. The problem is you're not reading the person in front of you. You're using the wrong approach for the wrong mind type. This episode teaches you to recognize the seven mind types so you can adapt your communication instantly. That skill changes your close rate.About Ridgely Goldsborough:Serial entrepreneur who's started forty-five companies. Author of twenty books. Studied alongside Jim Rohn as his voice in Latin America.

The business landscape is littered with scads of operators that tend to sweep issues under the rug, rather than roll up their sleeves and try to fix issues. Problem sweepers are a dime a dozen. Sweepers are easy to find, but solvers are a rare commodity in today's world of apathetic workers. Next time you're confronted with a difficult issue, we encourage you to look at it as an opportunity in disguise. Issue resolution allows a worker to develop new problem-solving skill sets. Problem solvers win the hearts of associates and customers, and they can command higher salaries than sweepers.Support the show

Where did miracles go?In this episode of PF Unfiltered, PF tackles one of the biggest questions many Christians quietly ask: why does it feel like we don't see miracles the way people talk about them in Acts, revival stories, or old-school church culture?But the real answer is sharper than most people expect. PF argues that the modern church has confused the spectacular with the miraculous and in the process, we've turned Christ into a dispenser of comfort instead of the One miracles were always meant to reveal.This conversation goes straight at miracle culture, prosperity logic, emotionalism, transactional giving, and the dangerous habit of presenting Jesus as a problem solver instead of a Savior. If miracles are supposed to witness to Christ, what happens when the message is no longer Christ?In this episode:- Why PF says there is a “death of the spectacular” in the modern church- The difference between the spectacular and the miraculous- Why signs and wonders were meant to witness to Christ- How churches turn prayer, fasting, and giving into tools for material gain- Why “come to Jesus and get your problem solved” is a broken gospel- The difference between sacrificial giving and spiritual manipulationDrop your thoughts in the comments:Are miracles disappearing or are we preaching the wrong message?Chapter Markers0:00 Problem Solver vs Savior1:38 Where Did Miracles Go?3:00 The Death of the Spectacular5:00 The Greatest Miracle6:05 Miracles Witness to Christ9:10 What Are We Preaching?13:36 Prayer and Fasting Misused15:00 Selling Miracles18:02 Emotionalism in Church19:46 Consumer Christianity20:13 Sacrifice vs Manipulation24:47 Don't Borrow to Give27:00 Why Nations Stay Broken30:16 When Church Stops Being About Christ32:47 Prosperity Short-Circuits the Gospel36:14 Miracles Must Point to Christ38:54 Friends for Food40:09 Miracles Without Faith40:40 Hungry for Righteousness41:16 He's Not an Employment Agency#pfunfiltered #pastorfemi #miracles #culture #prosperity #gospel #christian #church #manipulation #signsandwonders #modernchristianity #spectacular #christianpodcast #transactionalfaith #prayerandfasting #sacrificialgiving #jesus

It should be something we do with them.In this episode of the Math Chat Podcast, we're continuing our Creating a Classroom of Problem Solvers series by exploring the fifth strand of the framework: Student-Engaged Assessment.Too often, assessment data stays in teacher binders, spreadsheets, and data meetings. But what if we invited students into the process?

Daniel and JB are back from vacation — tanned and fired up — for an ADSN rundown that covers everything from Sean Frank's "ads rule everything around me" manifesto to X Money's launch, prediction market hedging for e-commerce brands, and Meta vibe-coding a new app. The episode kicks off with a sharp take on why every digital company is now fundamentally a marketing company, and why the problem-solving bar has been permanently raised by AI — with Gen Z founders skipping the career ladder entirely.From there, they dig into X Money's 7% savings yield and why a Tesla phone with Grok, Starlink, and X payments could be the actual super app. They break down Claude's new Slack integration as the start of multiplayer AI, why companies become irrelevant rather than defeated, and the reveal that Josh Siegel's team is now at Meta — likely behind the new Pocket minigames app. They close with Primary Posts featuring an AI-generated country song that JB played 1,600 times at his Fourth of July party and Jason Levin's genius fake protest at Cannes that got 10 million Instagram views for a few hundred bucks.Thank you to our sponsors:AdQuick – Making OOH advertising as easy to plan, buy, and measure as digital. adquick.comThrad.ai — Building the advertising infrastructure for AI. thrad.aibeehiiv — The all-in-one platform for newsletters, websites, and every tool you need to grow and earn. beehiiv.comThe Farm — Fraction commercial legal with an in-house approach to outside counsel. thefarmllp.comSTAY CONNECTEDJames on Twitter & LinkedIn – /jamesborowDaniel on LinkedIn, Instagram, TikTok – /danieldrugerSubscribe & leave a ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ review on Spotify & Apple Podcasts.

Your value rises with the problems you can solve. In this episode of The Level Up Podcast, Paul Alex breaks down why elite problem solvers become some of the most valuable people in business. Let's be real… If every minor issue makes you panic… If every inconvenience gets escalated… If every obstacle requires someone else to rescue you… You are not operating like a leader. You are operating like a liability. In this episode, you'll learn: Why your income is tied to the complexity of problems you can handle How panic destroys clear thinking and execution Why high-level leaders separate emotion from facts How becoming the person who fixes the unfixable makes you invaluable The truth is simple: CEO money requires CEO thinking. You cannot wait for a savior. You cannot freeze when systems break. You cannot complain when the market shifts. You have to analyze the issue. Map out the options. Choose the best path. And execute the fix. High-level operators do not run from chaos. They run toward it. They stay calm. They think mechanically. They solve what others avoid. Because every problem is an opportunity to prove competence. Stop wishing for fewer problems. Build stronger problem-solving skills. Find the solution. Lead the team. And keep leveling up.

Send us Fan MailCreating a classroom of problem solvers can feel overwhelming when you're trying to fit problem solving, fluency, discourse, assessment, intervention, and curriculum pacing into a single math block.In this episode we're unpacking the six essential elements that help students become confident, capable mathematicians and how these elements work together to create a classroom where students do the thinking, talking, and problem solving.Inspired by the research in Adding It Up: Helping Children Learn Mathematics, we'll explore why mathematical proficiency is about so much more than getting the right answer and how small shifts in instruction can help students develop deeper understanding, stronger reasoning, and greater independence.In this episode, we're chatting about: How thinking routines build reasoning, discourse, and fluencyWhere intervention, small groups, and strategic instruction fitWhat purposeful fluency really meansHow student-engaged assessment supports learning and growthWhy identity and belonging are essential for mathematical successHow to fit it all together without adding more to your dayWhether you're implementing Word Problem Workshop, exploring student-centered math instruction, or simply looking for ways to increase student thinking and engagement, this episode will help you reimagine what your math block can be.Resources Mentioned:

Send us Fan MailWhat if the most important thing you teach at the beginning of the year isn't a routine… but a belief about what math actually IS?In this episode of the Math Chat Podcast, we're talking about how to launch the school year with a true problem-solving mindset so students learn to think, persevere, discuss ideas, and trust themselves as mathematicians from day one.Because students learn what math is by experiencing math.If math is always watching, copying, and repeating, students learn math is about compliance. But when math becomes noticing, wondering, trying, discussing, revising, and making sense of ideas… students learn math is about thinking. And teacher friends… that changes everything.In this episode, we'll chat about: the biggest mindset mistake teachers make at the beginning of the year  how over-scaffolding can accidentally reduce student independence  what students actually need to become problem solvers  ways to normalize productive struggle in math class  what classrooms full of thinkers really look and sound like  practical shifts that help students build confidence, reasoning, and perseverance from the very beginning Mentioned in this episode

What happens when you've spent decades being the most reliable person in the room — and you finally stop to ask: reliable for whom?   In this warm, wide-ranging episode of Leaderspace, host Cathleen O'Sullivan is joined by Linda Misegadis — senior government strategist at UKG, global DEI ambassador, certified payroll professional, and host of the Her Resources Podcast. Linda built her career the way many high-achievers do: nose down, hard work, always available, always solving. She led one of the most complex technology change projects in Denver's public sector history and then walked into the VP of Sales of the company whose software she'd just implemented and told him, clearly and directly, that she didn't think they understood the public sector space at all. He offered her a job.   Linda and Cathleen explore what it costs to tie your identity to being the one everyone counts on, how introversion becomes a leadership superpower once you stop letting others use it as a label that limits you, and why the most important question in any career transition isn't what's next — it's who am I actually? They talk about the trap of availability culture, what burnout really looks like when you've built your reward system around being indispensable, and the slow, nonlinear work of separating your professional identity from your sense of self.   They also go deep on what it means to lead through complexity without consensus paralysis, how COVID quietly pushed Linda from observer to connector, and the particular challenge women still face in corporate life in 2026 — not just in being heard, but in being seen for the right things. This is a conversation about the courage it takes to stop performing reliability and start building something that actually belongs to you.   If you've ever been the go-to person, the Swiss Army knife, the one who always raises their hand — this one is for you. Cathleen's question for this episode: what is it costing you to keep staying quiet about something you've already noticed?   Episode Timeline:   00:00:00 Welcome and Introduction 00:02:38 Introducing Linda Misegadis 00:07:04 Heritage, Roots, and Identity 00:11:09 What Has Shaped Your Identity? 00:15:10 The Trap of Being the Reliable One 00:19:09 Who Is Linda Now? 00:21:39 AI, Layoffs, and the Human Side of Work 00:31:36 How COVID Made Linda a Connector 00:34:17 Introversion as a Leadership Strength 00:40:29 Leading Without a Title 00:44:00 The Audacious Move That Changed Everything 00:48:00 The Risk of Always Being the Problem Solver 00:53:46 The Reward Behind Constant Availability 01:00:52 How the Reward Has Shifted 01:04:14 Approaching Complex Problems 01:11:24 Women's Voices in Corporate Life — Still Not There Yet 01:13:36 One Piece of Advice for Women Entering Leadership Key Takeaways:   The Reliable One Is a Role, Not an Identity: Building your sense of self around being available to everyone is a reward system, not a foundation. Recognising what that role is costing you — in energy, in clarity, in career direction — is the first step to changing it. Introversion Is a Skill Gap, Not a Personality Sentence: Linda didn't network because she'd never been taught how, not because she was incapable. Once she separated the label from the limitation, she built a podcast, a community, and a career chapter on her own terms. Observation Is Underrated Leadership Data: Stepping back and watching — really watching — builds pattern recognition that others miss. The quietest person in the room often sees the most. Someone Has to Make the Call: Consensus has its place, but leadership means being willing to own a decision, not manage a committee. The people around you are counting on someone to choose. The New Reward Has to Be Real: When you stop being the one who solves everything, the satisfaction has to come from somewhere else. For Linda, it became the pride of watching her team step up. The reward needs to be replaced — not just removed. About Linda Misegadis:   Linda Misegadis is a Senior Government Strategist at UKG and Global Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging Ambassador, based in Colorado. She is a Certified Payroll Professional (CPP), Certified Public Manager (CPM), IPMA-CP, and Prosci Certified Change Manager who has spent her career helping organisations navigate complexity — and bring people with them through it. She previously served as Director of Citywide Payroll Operations and Administration for the City and County of Denver, where she led a workforce management deployment across 13,000 employees. Her defining career pivot came when she walked into the VP of Sales of the company whose software she had just implemented, told him plainly that she didn't think they understood the public sector space, and left with a job offer. She is also the co-host of the Her Resources Podcast.

There are patterns playing out in your sales conversations right now that have nothing to do with strategy, pricing, or timing. And until you see them clearly, no tactic is going to fix them. Client Chaos in Sales: Why You Keep Getting Pulled Into the Drama Here’s the dynamic I see constantly: a prospect throws chaos at you — competing priorities, sudden emergencies, a dozen reasons why this moment isn’t right. And the natural response is to meet them there. To empathize, validate, and start problem-solving the drama instead of the actual decision. What most people don’t realize is that this is exactly what the other person’s subconscious is pulling for — not out of malice, but because it’s the only world they know how to operate in. A lot of us were raised in chaotic environments. We adapted to it, and that adaptation became our baseline. So when chaos enters a sales conversation, something familiar activates — and we step right in. Client Chaos in Sales: The Mindset Shift That Keeps You in the Problem-Solver’s Chair The way through is deceptively simple. You acknowledge the problem — just enough to show you heard it — and then you offer a clear path forward. You don’t step into their world. You open a door to a calmer one. The internal shift that makes this possible is learning to ask ‘how do I solve this?’ instead of ‘how do I respond to this?’ That single reorientation changes what you say, how you lead, and what you close. And it starts well before the sales conversation begins. Episode 61 – Building Killer Self Confidence Episode 324 – Be Pulled Into Success Episode 502 -Opportunity Knocks at the Door of Chaos HERE’S THE TRUTH:YOUR BUSINESS ISN’T BROKEN. YOUR MINDSET IS.You’ve built something real. You’ve got clients, revenue, maybe even a team. But every morning, you wake up feeling like you’re pushing a boulder uphill — working harder for smaller wins, watching others leap ahead while you grind in place. This May, I’m opening the doors to The Elite Mind — a proven daily practice that rewires the mental patterns keeping you stuck in the feast-or-famine cycle, and transforms your relationship with success from the inside out. We’ll strip away the self-sabotage, the fear of your own potential, and the unconscious limits you’ve accepted as “just how business is.” You’ll discover why strategy alone never works (and what actually does), and walk away with the mental framework that separates those who sustain success from those who chase it forever. Ready to stop working harder and start thinking differently? CLICK HERE to find out more!

James Scott describes Curtis LeMay as a pragmatic, "hardscrabble" problem-solver who put himself through college by working nights in a steel mill. Replacing Hansel after only 44 days, LeMay realizes that high-altitude bombing is an "unsolvable equation" given the weather variables. He revamps maintenance, embraces radar, and demonstrates a ruthless focus on results, such as bypassing bureaucracy to pay native tribes in opium for the rescue of downed airmen. The sources also detail the American development of napalm, which was tested on a mock Japanese village in the Utah desert. This village, built with authentic tatami mats and sliding doors, was repeatedly burned to determine how best to exploit Japan's "Achilles heel": its dense wooden architecture. War planners identified specific "incendiary zones" in cities like Tokyo, Nagoya, and Osaka that were highly susceptible to fire, providing LeMay with the data needed to transition from pinpoint strategic targets to mass urban destruction. 3/81943 LEMAY

https://teachhoops.com/ The role of an assistant coach is often described as being the "coach of the coaches," but in reality, you are the "Chief Culture Officer" and "Tactical Specialist." A great assistant doesn't just sit on the bench and record stats; they provide the "connective tissue" between the head coach's vision and the players' execution. The most vital quality you can possess is "Loyal Candor." This means being 100% supportive of the head coach in public while being brave enough to offer a differing perspective in private. In the heat of the mid-season January grind, a head coach needs someone who isn't a "yes man," but someone who can suggest a tweak to the zone offense or a rotation change that saves a game. Beyond loyalty, an elite assistant must master the "Art of the Specific Niche." Whether you are the "Defensive Coordinator," the "Post Player Specialist," or the "Scouting Lead," you must own your domain with obsession. Your goal is to make the head coach's job easier by removing "decision fatigue." Instead of just identifying a problem, walk into the office with a solution: "Coach, our ball-screen coverage is leaking; I've drafted three 5-minute drills to tighten up the 'hedge' for tomorrow's practice." By being a "Problem-Solver, Not a Problem-Reporter," you build the "Trust Equity" required to one day lead your own program. Finally, a great assistant is the "Master of Relationship Management." You are often the "bridge" for players who might be afraid to speak directly to the head coach. This requires high Emotional Intelligence (EQ).
