เคล็ดลับความสำเร็จจากหนังสือ The Diary of a CEO#14

You're in the arena. It's just you and your horse. No trainer. No instructor. Just the two of you - riding alone.  This probably wasn't the plan, yet here you are. And if you're like most riders, it's not the riding alone that's the problem... It's what tends to creep in when you do: You lose motivation You skip the structure Progress stalls (or feels non-existent!) Boredom shows up You start questioning everything And before you know it, you're wondering if you're going backwards This week's Strides Revisited episode goes back to the heart of riding alone, and how to actually keep moving forward when it's just you and your horse. "Riding alone can work brilliantly if you know how to keep yourself inspired, accountable, and structured." In this episode, you'll learn: The 5 sneaky roadblocks riders face when going solo How to create small wins that keep you showing up Why having markers in the arena can change everything How to start holding yourself accountable (even without a coach) The power of timing, tracking, and planning (yes, even as a solo rider!) Listen in and rediscover how to take ownership of your riding, and do it in a way that actually feels fun again.   Download the 15 Minutes or Less Freebie If you struggle to ride consistently because of time… this is for you. The 15 Minutes or Less Riding Plan Guide includes: 10+ exercise ideas you can do with just 15 minutes Instant 'get in, get done' ride themes Goal-aligned prompts for every session Editable plan templates

In this episode of Home in Progress, host Dan Hansen kicks things off with his first-snowfall story and a few thoughts on the annual fall battle—leaf cleanup. From there, he shifts gears into two seemingly different worlds that have more in common than you'd think: power tools and personal style.Dan breaks down the circular saw—why it's one of the most versatile tools a homeowner can own, how to choose the right type, which accessories make the biggest difference, and the key safety habits every DIYer should know.Then, in a surprising but perfectly connected twist, the conversation turns to men's fashion. Dan explains why dressing well isn't about having an “eye for style” or chasing trends—it's about learning skills, understanding fit, and applying timeless principles. Just like home improvement, great results come from practice, patience, and quality materials.From the importance of proportion (in both clothes and color schemes) to the “Swap Trick” for stepping outside your comfort zone, this episode is packed with practical takeaways to help you look better, build better, and think differently about the connection between craftsmanship and style.Resources:Circular Saw Track GuideEssential Man Clothing ArticleEpisode Timeline00:00 — Welcome to Home in Progress00:11 — First Snowfall and Fall Cleanup01:21 — Why We're Talking About Fashion02:33 — The Circular Saw: The Most Underrated Tool04:38 — Sidewinder vs. Worm-Drive Saws07:47 — Must-Have Add-Ons and Safety Tips12:08 — Dressing Well Is a Learnable Skill19:43 — The Overlap Between Fashion and Home Improvement22:16 — Challenging the “Eye for Design” Myth26:21 — Fit and Proportion: From Clothes to Color Schemes30:50 — Avoiding Trends: Choosing Timeless Style33:14 — The Swap Trick: Small Changes, Big Impact35:35 — Investing in Quality: Tools, Paint, and Wardrobes36:44 — Final Thoughts and Giveaway Announcement

#937 | Ed and Wayne Barton try to stay warm, awake, and vaguely optimistic. There's chat about winter routines, sleepless nights, and how United fans could probably use a nap themselves after the latest couple of matches. Wayne talks about his new book Manchester United: After Munich - an emotional deep dive into the club's recovery years, the players who carried the torch, and the scars that never quite healed. From there, it's onto a far brighter story: Manchester United Women beating PSG in the Champions League, a result that feels like a genuine milestone. Then it's time to talk about the men's team - and some familiar issues. The lads discuss January transfer gossip, squad issues, and the board's plans. The mailbag brings discussion about Casemiro's value, the striker shortage, seat-license panic, and the notion of “Project 2028.” 00:00 Introduction 00:31 Winter Blues 01:46 Book Launch – Manchester United: After Munich 04:54 United Women Beat PSG 14:23 Atmosphere & Progress in the Women's Game 20:01 Mailbag: Midfield Depth & Casemiro's Role 33:58 Striker Situation & January Window 44:27 Defence and the Never-Ending Wingback Debate 50:40 Have United Actually Turned a Corner? 01:03:09 Project 2028 – Dream or Delusion 01:15:09 Transfer Predictions & Mainoo's Next Step Learn more about your ad choices.

How can the United States make its economy more resilient not just to future economic shocks but the threat of such shocks from its geopolitical rivals? Arnab Datta has spent years working on this very question. In the immediate aftermath of the recent rare earths showdown between America and China, Datta and his colleagues at the Institute for Progress and Employ America published a new analysis titled How to Implement an Operation Warp Speed for Rare Earths.China's global dominance in rare earths, acquired over decades, allows it to “gain leverage in trade negotiations, retaliate against American restrictions, degrade American and allied technological capabilities, and potentially even to entrench its dominance in downstream rare earth-dependent manufacturing supply chains,” write Datta, Saif Khan, Tim Hwang, and Tim Fist. The scope of the report extends well beyond the specific threat of a shock to America's supply of rare earths. It speaks to the very nature of the ongoing geopolitical dispute with China itself — and more broadly, to the question of how best to respond when a single country has taken steps for decades to distort the global market of a product that the entire world depends on.Why did the United States fail to spot the emerging threat? How should it respond now — and in such a way that embraces core American economic values like competition and innovation?

If the idea of “healthy co-parenting” makes you want to throw your phone, this episode is for you. Comedian Andrea Rappaport and powerhouse family law attorney Morgan Stogsdill sit down with co-parenting expert and bestselling author Jon Bassford, JD, MBA, CAE, whose real-life story of turning a hostile divorce into a functional, daily-communication co-parenting dynamic will shock you—in the best way.Jon's new book, The Co-Parenting Secret: It's Not About You, doesn't sugarcoat the difficulty or pretend everyone can be friends. Instead, it offers a revolutionary reframe: stop thinking about "my time" or "their time" and start thinking about your child's life. It challenges the toxic win/lose mindset and offers a new model: collaborative parenting focused on emotional safety, communication, and showing up for your kid every time.His message resonates with divorced, separated, dating-but-split, or any parents navigating two-home situations, because it's not about having a friendly ex or following a perfect plan. It's about making intentional choices that prioritize your kids above your own convenience, preferences, or pride.Jon is also a TEDx speaker, CEO of Lateral Solutions, and brings 20+ years of executive leadership to his work but this book isn't about applying business frameworks to family life. It's about the messy, honest journey of getting co-parenting right after getting it wrong.Jon didn't start with unicorns and rainbows. There was resentment, trash-talking, incompatible living… the whole messy thing. But he learned the intentional steps that transform co-parenting from a battleground into actual teamwork. In this episode, we dig into what co-parenting looks like when it's real, what to do when your ex refuses to cooperate, and why saying “Of course” instead of “Fine” could change literally everything.Whether you're co-parenting with a narcissist, parallel-parenting with someone who refuses to meet you halfway, or just trying to not lose your mind over a simple schedule swap, you'll walk away with mindset shifts, scripts, action steps, and legal strategy you can use TODAY.Key Takeaways1. Co-Parenting Doesn't Start Perfect — It EvolvesJon and his ex did not get along at first. There was hostility, miscommunication, and resentment — just like what most people experience. Progress happens in baby steps, not giant leaps.2. Saying “Of Course” Isn't About Your Ex — It's About YouYour instinct is to say “no.” That's human. But dropping your guard and choosing calm over chaos immediately changes your internal state. Less spiraling, less anger, less anxiety.3. Strategic Co-Parenting Helps You in CourtMorgan breaks down how tools like Our Family Wizard create evidence showing you are the reasonable parent. If a judge ever needs to get involved, this matters A LOT.4. Letting Go Isn't Weak — It's SurvivalJon explains how resentment destroys your peace more than it punishes your ex. Letting go isn't excusing behavior — it's freeing yourself.5. Your Why Keeps You GroundedCo-parenting gets easier when you know why you're doing it: stability for your child, emotional peace for yourself, and a healthier long-term dynamic.Timestamps00:00 — Why “our natural reaction is to say no”00:17 — Morgan explains the legal strategy behind saying “yes”00:31 — What saying “of course” does for you00:57 — Andrea on isolation during divorce01:12 — Why connecting with community matters01:27 — Truly Engaging partnership + holiday card...

KATY IS BACK! And we are proud to report that her new baby no longer looks like far-right French politician Éric Zemmour. Relief all around!    It's been a hectic time in Europe, but we're happy to be covering it all—or, you know, a sizable sliver of it—starting with Latvia's potential withdrawal from the Istanbul Convention and the European Parliament's call for new regulation of algorithmic tech in the workplace. Algorithmic management has made its way into all sorts of industries; we dig into whether or not that's a good thing and how new legislation might help to protect us all.   Then it's off to Paris, where tens of thousands of shoppers have already flooded the aisles of the new brick-and-mortar Shein store and thousands of others have been protesting its very existence. That's not only because of Shein's environmentally toxic business model but because of the recent appearance of some despicable products on its website—which has led the French government to threaten to ban the fast-fashion giant. To break it all down, we rang up Paris-based fashion journalist Dana Thomas, author of the book Fashionopolis and host of the podcast The Green Dream.   Mentioned in this episode:   ‘“Cynical and completely reckless” Latvia has the highest femicide rate in Europe — including Russia. Its parliament just voted to exit a treaty protecting women from violence.' - Meduza, November 4, 2025 EU study: 37% of employees are monitored for working hours 1 in 4 workplaces make decisions with algorithms Case studies in algorithmic management Dana's book Fashionopolis Dana's newsletter, The Style Files   This week's Inspiration Station recommendations are the Rosalía album Lux and the podcast series Where Is Jón?, a co-production of RTÉ in Ireland and RÚV in Iceland.    We don't often have sponsors on this podcast but this week, we do: Patagonia. Three years ago, Patagonia named Earth as its only shareholder. But moving more profits to environmental causes hasn't made them a perfect company—let alone a sustainable one. Out now is Patagonia's 2025 Work-in-Progress report: the raw truth about where they're messing up, but also, the latest ways they're rethinking business as usual. You can check out the report here.

Entrepreneurship isn't just about building something — it's about becoming someone. In this raw and soul-expanding episode, Christina sits down with spiritual entrepreneur Dee Taggart to explore how the path of entrepreneurship is one of the deepest spiritual journeys you can walk. Because building a business will test everything you believe about yourself—your faith, your worth, your relationship with money, and your capacity to trust the unknown. Together, Christina and Dee dive into what it really means to do the inner work required to create outer success—how your business becomes a mirror reflecting the areas of growth, healing, and surrender that your soul is asking for. You'll hear powerful reflections on: ✨ How entrepreneurship awakens you to who you truly are ✨ The illusion of control and what surrender really looks like ✨ Overcoming scarcity, self-doubt, and the fear of letting go ✨ Balancing faith with aligned action ✨ How your business growth mirrors your spiritual growth If you've ever felt like you're being stretched, challenged, or called to a deeper level of trust — this episode will remind you that you're not off track… you're being transformed. Because every time you choose faith over fear, you step closer to alignment with your higher purpose.   00:00 Introduction to the Spiritual Side of Entrepreneurship 01:37 Meet Dee Tagger: Expansion Activator and Advocate for Personal Growth 02:44 Christina and Dee's Journey: A Serendipitous Meeting 04:18 Dee's Entrepreneurial Beginnings: From Lawn Mowing to Empowering Women 13:35 The Spiritual Awakening in Entrepreneurship 17:59 Incorporating Energy Work and Breathwork into Personal and Professional Growth 26:22 The Power of Self-Worth and Presence in Entrepreneurship 30:17 Embracing the Journey of Faith and Courage 31:27 The Importance of Reflecting on Progress 33:31 Consistency in Personal Growth 40:26 Balancing Intuition and Strategy in Business 45:52 The Power of Prayer and Meditation 55:19 Final Thoughts and Encouragement Links: The Empowered Women's Collective Your Limitless Adventures Group Trips Connect With Me: Instagram: @macs_explore Threads: @macs_explore Guest Links: Podcast: Her Xpansion Podcast Website: https://herxpansion.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/herxpansion/

Diese Low Budget Kurzfilmdoku von Anna Zhukovets & Karen Abel wurde zwischen 2021 ( Karen hatte gerade die Untersuchungsergebnisse bekommen 3 Jahre mit einem Medikament stabil zu sein) und 2022 ( mitten im 2. Progress, das heißt der Tumor und die Metastasierung breiten sich aufgrund der Resistenz gegenüber der Behandlung aus) gefilmt. Inzwischen hat Karen schon den 4. Progress hinter sich:Die Regisseurin, Editorin, Fotografin und Journalistin Anna Zhukovets (Geboren 1997 in Mariupol; Vita unter https://www.hff-muc.de/de_DE/studente... ) schafft es innerhalb eines Jahres das Leben einer Frau – die niemals aufgibt - mit dem Lungenkrebs einzufangen. Dabei unterstützt Karen Anna inhaltlich und auch kreativ im gesamten Filmprozess.Wissbegierde, Offenheit, Loyalität und eine unermüdliche Selbstarbeit: Das ist Karen Abel. Gerade im Dokumentarfilm lernt man von jedem Menschen etwas. Von Karen lerne ich, mich mehr in Dankbarkeit und Optimismus zu üben. Von Anfang an, lehnt Karen Mitleid ab. Mitgefühl statt Mitleid. Das wünscht sie sich. Offene Fragen statt Stille. Zuhören. Wie hört man empathisch zu? Wie wird man einem persönlichen Portrait gerecht? Indem ich mich als Filmemacherin zurücknehme. Nur so kann man zuhören. Lungenkrebs, das ist die Krankheit der Zukunft. Sie betrifft uns alle. Familie, Freunde und Partner: Die Stigmata des rauchenden alten Mannes hemmt oft einen offenen Diskurs. Und es stimmt nicht. Immer mehr junge Nicht- und Nie Raucher sind betroffen. Ein Film, der die Vorurteile über Lungenkrebs entkräftet. Und gleichzeitig sichtbar macht. Nämlich: Die Geschichte von Karens und Vesnas '' Wie Phönix aus der Asche'' soll sich der eigenen Lebenskraft und Endlichkeit nähern.''Wie Phönix aus der Asche'' ist eine Film-Odyssee. Anna Zhukovets und Karen Abel machen sich auf die Suche nach den Tiefen der Krebsforschung. Sprechen mit Experten und Betroffenen, ohne zu erahnen, dass es sich bei dieser Reise durch die Wissenschaft um die eigene Reflexion dreht. Um den Tod und das Leben. ''Wie Phönix aus der Asche'' ist eine Erzählung einer Frau, die scheinbar dem Tod geweiht ist. Und dennoch: Nicht aufhören will die bestehenden Regeln der Medizin zu hinterfragen. Die Geschichte von Karen Abel, sie zeigt, wie sehr es sich lohnt, zu hinterfragen. Nach anderen Wegen zu suchen. Die Geschichte trägt die Erkenntnis mit sich, dass die Krebsforschung mehr kann als nur Strahlen- und Chemotherapie. Für Karen Abel muss sie ganzheitlich sein. Sie muss den Menschen im Kern mitdenken. Dafür muss die Ärzte-Patient: innen-Kommunikation auf Augenhöhe bleiben.Chapters00:00 Der Weg zur Selbstakzeptanz02:38 Stigmatisierung und die Realität von Lungenkrebs06:11 Die Entstehung von Lungenkrebs08:45 Die Herausforderungen der Diagnose12:03 Die Bedeutung von Lebensqualität und Achtsamkeit14:49 Der Umgang mit dem Tod und die Rolle der Ärzte

Today, I want to talk about something that so many of us struggle to accept — the idea that you can't always give 100%. Some days, weeks, or even months… all you have is 60%. And that's not failure — that's being human.   We live in a culture that glorifies "all or nothing." It tells us that if we're not giving it our absolute best — crushing workouts, tracking macros perfectly, staying on top of every little habit — then we're somehow falling short.   But it doesn't have to be this way.    When you start giving yourself permission to scale your effort based on your season, you stop operating from guilt and start operating from grace. And that's where real, sustainable progress happens.   So in this episode of Embrace Your Real, we're going to talk about: Why 60% effort still matters more than you think What "maintenance mode" actually looks like And how to give yourself permission to scale back without losing momentum   If you loved this episode, you might also like Episode 474: Overcoming Unrealistic Expectations of Yourself    If you want more from me, be sure to check out...

Mary welcomes Dr. Chris Rupe to talk about that infamous graphic depicting the linear march of ape-to-human that billions know, or accept as, the story of the evolution of mankind. "March of Progress", as the mural is named, has only been around since 1965 and yet generations of students were force-fed this simplistic view of humans and there is no "unseeing" it, even if a picture is worth 1000 (lying, fake, fraudulent, hoax-worthy) words. We chat with Chris about how the theory of evolution is stalled out - if not going backwards)- over bones and fossils. Specifically transitional bones, because if we can't find any layers of ape-to-human proof in the form of fossils, what now? Scientists like to think evolution is not merely a theory but also not an ideology, but we are going to take some time to clear all that up. A fascinating hour with someone who has thought through transitional species, and author of "Contested Bones".   Stand Up For The Truth Videos: https://rumble.com/user/CTRNOnline & https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgQQSvKiMcglId7oGc5c46A

Send us a text! We'd love to hear your thoughts on the show.If you've ever felt like your novel is taking far too long—or wondered whether you can keep writing through big life challenges—this conversation with novelist Melanie Schnell will speak straight to your writer heart.Melanie is the author of While the Sun is Above Us, which won both the Saskatchewan First Book Award and the City of Regina Award and has been part of the ELA A30 curriculum in Saskatchewan schools. Her new novel, The Chorus Beneath Our Feet, began with a single, vivid image: two women standing on a tree branch in the middle of a violent storm. That image stayed with her for 15 years, slowly growing into a story about siblings, war, grief, and everything that lies hidden beneath our feet—and beneath our lives.In this episode, Melanie shares how that first image evolved into the fictional city of Ravenswood, a Regina-inspired setting anchored by a central tree. She talks about how research into unmarked graves at the Regina Indian Industrial School, the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, mass graves in Ireland, and the history of the British Home Children all fed into the novel's themes of buried histories, family bonds, and unseen networks—like fungi and tree roots—running under the surface.We also dig into her unforgettable characters. Jes, a grief-stricken soldier returning from Afghanistan with his best friend's body, and Mary, his ethereal, elusive sister, form the emotional core of the book. Melanie describes the challenge of getting Jes's voice right, balancing his trauma and anger with real vulnerability, and how early reader feedback helped her deepen both siblings until they felt fully alive on the page.Melanie is candid about what it took to finish this novel over 15 years while raising her son as a single mother, navigating a demanding academic career, and living with chronic illness. She talks about losing the ability to read and write for stretches of time, the frustration of feeling like the book was always moving ahead without her, and the moment an editor helped her finally “see” what the story needed structurally—especially around Mary's voice and the ending.If you're a writer living with chronic illness or other big life constraints, Melanie offers gentle, hard-won encouragement: you are not your illness, and your story is coming from a central, lit-up place inside you that doesn't disappear, even when you can't reach it every day.If you've been wondering whether it “still counts” if your book is taking years to finish, I think this conversation with Melanie will remind you that deep work takes the time it takes—and that the story is still there, waiting, even when you have to step away.

Key Takeaways:Goals are meant to guide, not judge. When they serve as a compass instead of a scorecard, they inspire growth and unity instead of strain or shame. Progress becomes something to celebrate, not a verdict on worth.Nonprofit leaders often walk the line between big dreams and achievable results. Rigid focus on financial targets can create tension and burnout, but realistic goals rooted in purpose help teams stay motivated and grounded.True success goes beyond numbers. Relationships, learning, and consistent effort shape sustainable impact. By valuing process over perfection, organizations can find meaning in every outcome—good or bad.Lasting results come from people, not pressure. Relationship-building should be prioritized over transactions, with gratitude and reflection fueling resilience, renewal, and authentic growth for the long run. “Rejection isn't the opposite of success. It is part of success.” “Goals should stretch us, not strain us. They should unite, connect us, not divide us, and they should inspire us to grow, not shame us for being human.” “Remember: every ‘no' refines your ‘yes'. You're not rejected, you're redirected. Rejection is protection.”- Maryanne Dersch   Let's Work Together to Amplify Your Leadership + Influence1.

In today's episode, I share how faith alone isn't enough to move us forward without intention and disciplined action. I talk about how comfort can become interference, why small consistent habits protect our purpose, and how non-negotiable behaviors like sleep, movement, and family create a foundation for growth. I explain why faith should be the predisposition and intention the disposition—the driving force that turns belief into aligned action. Through stories of resilience, accountability, and divine timing, I show how lowering the bar, stacking wins, and choosing meaning over fear can reveal progress even when there's no evidence it's possible.

Vivian sat down with Sophia Bush live at Tech Futures to dive deep into the money side of Hollywood stardom. Sophia breaks down what actors actually make from iconic TV shows (spoiler: those One Tree Hill paychecks weren't what you think), how residuals really work in the streaming era, and why that show you've binged 47 times barely pays the actors anymore. Sophia gets real about navigating Hollywood's pay gap, from her early days saying yes to everything to learning how to negotiate like a boss in an industry that doesn't want women asking for more. Plus, she reveals how she's built serious wealth beyond acting through podcasting, directing, producing, and becoming a GP at a VC fund, explaining why diversifying her income was the smartest financial move she ever made. She answers the big questions about balancing activism with getting paid, preparing for Hollywood's feast-or-famine cycles, what retirement looks like when you're an actor, and how coming out changed the way she thinks about money and relationships.

In Harrisburg, key legislative leaders appear to be in agreement on a budget deal, which would end Pennsylvania's months-long budget impasse. The news broke late last night - and legislators in both chambers are expected to return this morning to approve the deal. Meantime in Washington, the Senate passed a bill to reopen the federal government late Sunday night, and the House is expected to take their first look at the bill today. In order to pass the budget bill, eight Democratic Senators broke rank with their party to reach a deal with Republicans to end the federal government shutdown. Pennsylvania Senator John Fetterman was among them. Some House members from Pennsylvania say it was a bad idea. Environmentalists have filed a lawsuit to stop the expansion of a major natural gas pipeline system in Pennsylvania and New Jersey. The project would include ten miles of new pipe in Lancaster County and an expanded compressor station in Chester County.

Episode OverviewIn this rich, sensory journey through the Eternal City, I sit down with food historian, author, and Rome expert Katie Parla, a woman whose love affair with Rome began at sixteen thanks to her mother's quiet act of generosity. What started as a high school Latin club trip became a lifelong devotion to understanding the flavors, history, and soul of a city that was never meant to exist. Rome began as a malarial, snake-infested swamp, yet somehow became the beating heart of Western civilization.Katie has written, edited, or contributed to more than twenty books and countless articles in publications like The New York Times, Vogue, and The Guardian. Her newest work, Rome: A Culinary History Cookbook and Field Guide to the Flavors That Built a City, is not just another recipe collection. It's a layered love letter, part history book, part field guide, and part emotional map to the spirit of a city that has endured famine, fire, empire, and rebirth. Together, we explore what Rome can teach us about leadership, gratitude, and the art of being human in an age of acceleration.We begin where all gratitude stories begin, at the table. Katie gives thanks to her mother, “Jojo,” who worked multiple jobs to make that first trip to Rome possible. Through her mother's sacrifice, Katie learned the essence of perseverance, the same relentless spirit that built the city she now calls home. From there, we wander through the neighborhoods of Rome, from the ancient core to the medieval center, and finally to Testaccio, her favorite district, where modern graffiti meets ancient terracotta ruins. It's there that Katie goes to meditate on impermanence and the balance between chaos and beauty.As our conversation unfolds, history becomes a mirror for modern leadership. We talk about Rome's “bread and circuses,” how the government once used food and entertainment to keep citizens loyal, and we draw parallels to today's corporate perks and engagement programs. We explore the emperors of old and the executives of now, and what it means to “be a Caesar, not an Augustus,” a leader who serves with benevolence and dignity rather than domination and fear. We even touch on the city's engineering genius, from the 2,700 nasoni fountains that keep Romans hydrated to the grain ships that once fed an empire. Every system, every aqueduct, every loaf of bread carried a lesson about sustaining people, not just power.But Rome's real brilliance lies in its contradictions, what I call the “and” mindset. It's a city of war and peace, tragedy and triumph, speed and stillness. It forces us to hold two opposing truths at once: to hate what was violent and love what was beautiful, to accept the brokenness and still celebrate the feast. In our current age of AI and instant answers, Rome reminds us of the value of friction, imperfection, and effort.We wander next into the Roman Forum, where citizens once gathered to argue, trade, eat, and bear witness. It was the original “third place” between home and work, the birthplace of civic belonging, a space for conversation and connection. Katie draws a line from the Forum to today's trattorias and pizza-by-the-slice counters, where people stand shoulder to shoulder, talking to strangers, sipping espresso, or sharing a quick lunch of supplì or cacio e pepe. These are the modern temples of togetherness.Then comes the food. Not just the postcard dishes of carbonara and amatriciana, but the soulful, often forgotten recipes of Rome's working class: chicken gizzards with fettuccine, veal intestines simmered in tomato sauce, and involtini, rolled beef stuffed with prosciutto, carrots, and celery, cooked slowly until tender. Katie calls it “one pot, two dishes,” a metaphor for efficiency and abundance at once. Her approach to cooking, and to life, can be summed up in three simple words: just enough.By the end of our conversation, one theme rises above all others: dignity. From her mother's resilience to the humble Roman bakers who built an empire on grain, from the laborers who carved aqueducts to the chefs who open their kitchens to curious foreigners, Katie's gratitude is for everyone who never gave up. “Leave so much time in Rome unplanned,” she says, “and dare to have an adventure.” It's not just travel advice, it's a philosophy for life. Reflections and TakeawaysRome, like gratitude, is a practice. It reminds us to slow down, to see the sacred in the mundane, and to find beauty in imperfection. Leadership, whether in the Senate or the boardroom, is about giving people both challenge and dignity. Progress and empathy are not opposites, they are partners.Katie's story reminds us that effort is its own art form. Whether you're simmering a pot of cacciatore or steering a company through uncertainty, the recipe is the same: patience, precision, and a dash of love. The lesson of Rome is the lesson of humanity, that endurance, generosity, and curiosity will always outlast convenience. Explore FurtherKatie's independently published masterpiece Rome: A Culinary History Cookbook and Field Guide to the Flavors That Built a City is available at shop.katieparla.com.
