In this electrifying conversation, we meet Jax Cassie, the first female shaman in her powerful Vietnamese lineage, a role traditionally passed only to men. But Jax didn't choose the path. The path chose her… and it began the moment her father appeared to her one week after he died. From that moment forward, Jax stepped into a destiny rooted in spiritual awakening, intuition development, and deep ancestral alignment.During our conversation, she demonstrates her ability to: ✨ Communicate directly with the spirit realm✨ See and feel energies, ancestors, and spirit guides✨ Astral project into someone's home to diagnose energetic imbalances✨ Track a person's life purpose, alignment, and future opportunities✨ Deliver real-time intuitive readings that activate the listener's own awakening And yes… she gave both of us a shockingly accurate on-the-spot reading...including predictions about collaborations, media expansion, and a major consciousness-driven platform shift. Whether you're a believer, a skeptic, or somewhere in between, this episode pushes you to rethink modern spirituality, the mechanics behind manifestation, and the real-world application of energy healing in everyday life. You'll hear Jax explain:Why true shamans serve as “Oracles of the Village”How she sees spirits through their skin, and how she learned to control her visionThe difference between wishful thinking and aligned manifestationWhy intuition is useless without actionWhat a 12-month energetic forecast really looks likeThe role of ancestors in guiding your soul purposeWhy awakening often accelerates when you meet certain people at exactly the right momentIf you've ever wondered how near-death experiences, life after death, spirit communication, and higher-level healing might actually operate behind the scenes… you won't want to miss this conversation. This is spiritual growth with no fluff. Awakening with no filters. Practical mysticism for the modern world. And according to Jax, if you're listening to this episode, it isn't an accident... it's an activation.What You'll Learn in This EpisodeThe truth about shamanic lineage and why certain abilities are inheritedHow ancestral energy influences your success, relationship choices, and timingWhat a psychic actually sees when a spirit enters the roomWhy many people misunderstand manifestationHow to know if you're in alignment with your soul purposeWhat happens when your energy field begins expanding faster than your life circumstancesWhy meeting the “right person at the right moment” is often a spiritual activationAbout Jax:A sixth-generation Vietnamese shaman, psychic medium, and healer, Jax is known for her ability to see energetic misalignments, communicate with ancestors, and guide people into powerful states of alignment and awakening.

In this episode of The Manufacturing Culture Podcast, Jim sits down with Chris Humphrey, Business Development Manager at AirPro Fan & Blower Company, to explore how purpose, people, and love of neighbor shape lasting manufacturing cultures. From growing up in a motorcycle dealership to hiking the Appalachian Trail during a “quarter-life crisis,” Chris shares how his journey through machining, engineering, and leadership led him to rediscover the true purpose behind manufacturing — building communities, providing meaningful work, and caring for people along the way.Together, they unpack what culture means beyond the walls of a company, how leadership grounded in empathy can transform performance, and why AirPro's employee-owned model has created one of the most authentic examples of modern manufacturing culture today.What You'll Hear:Chris's early years in machining and how vocational education shaped his careerThe “quarter-life crisis” that changed his perspective on work and purposeWhy every manufacturing job supports six others and how that drives community impactLessons from the rifle industry on culture, stress, and leadershipHow AirPro Fan & Blower built a thriving employee-owned culture around love of neighborThe difference between condemning managers and leaders who come alongsideWhy culture, not compensation, is the real key to long-term retentionHow manufacturing can reclaim its image and attract the next generationThe future of manufacturing through technology, AI, and purpose-driven leadershipKey Quotes:“Manufacturing supports my community. That realization changed everything for me.”“Love of neighbor is a culture driver. It changes how you lead, how you sell, and how you care for people.”“People remember who you are, not just what you did.”“When a company puts care at the center, success takes care of itself.”Topics Covered:Manufacturing culture, leadership, purpose, employee ownership, community, vocational education, business development, supply chain, culture change, mentorship, AI in manufacturing, future of work.Jim's Take:Chris's story is a reminder that culture isn't a policy — it's people caring for each other.

On this episode of Reliability Radio, hosts Jonathan Guiney and Brendan Russ (JLL) welcome Robert Skeirik from i-care, the largest independent vibration service company globally, to discuss the limitations of traditional monitoring and the future of Maximo Predict. Robert reveals the critical flaw in using a single "overall" vibration number, explaining through a compelling "radio dial" analogy why minor but critical signals—like a looming bearing defect—are drowned out by louder faults (unbalance, misalignment). This session details: The Vibration Lie: Why rolling element bearing defects, the #1 cause of rotating equipment failure, are nearly impossible to catch with just overall vibration. Beyond Vibration: How i-care's proprietary sensor uses three parameters (vibration, impacting, and lubrication effectiveness) to provide a true severity trend. CMMS Integration: How their process leverages AI, human analysts, and a REST API connection to your CMMS (Maximo) to generate precise, validated work orders for maintenance planning. Fit for Purpose: Why you must choose monitoring devices that are engineered to catch specific failure modes.

Hot Take: What if your purpose right now isn't to do more, achieve more, or figure out your next big career move? What if your actual purpose is learning how to receive?My business coach asked me what I'd do on a random Tuesday if I could do anything. My answer floored me: drink matcha, watch reality TV at noon, cook a real recipe with multiple steps, take a long shower, go to bed early. As I rattled these off, I panicked - where's my ambition? What happened to my drive?Then it hit me during a journal session. My nervous system wasn't broken - it was trying to show me my purpose right now. After months of giving, creating, strategizing, and pouring into everyone else, my soul was telling me: your job is to learn how to receive.In this episode:Why your purpose might be receiving instead of achieving right nowThe four ways to receive: physical (rest, nourishment, movement), mental (entertainment, learning for fun, silence), emotional (support, celebrating wins), and creative (making something with your hands, playing without purpose)How constantly saying "I've got it" blocks you from your actual purposeWhy receiving isn't evidence you're failing - it's evidence you're humanThe receiving day challenge that will reconnect you with what your soul actually needsThe purpose shift: We think purpose has to be this big, productive thing. But what if your purpose right now is modeling for your kids that adults deserve care too? What if it's showing the women around you that receiving support isn't weakness?Your end-of-day scrolling? That's your spirit trying to receive something - anything - that doesn't require you to prove you deserve it first.Maybe your purpose isn't another goal to crush. Maybe it's learning that you're worthy of receiving the same energy you pour into everyone else.Ready to explore what receiving could look like in YOUR life?

If your team feels misaligned, it's not a hiring issue — it's an identity gap. This episode exposes the root of cultural breakdowns and offers a soul-level recalibration for leaders chasing clarity but leaking confusion.You've optimized the systems. Rewrote the roles. Hired the consultants. But your team still feels misaligned — and you're quietly wondering why nothing sticks.In this episode of The Recalibration, we name the deeper truth: cultural breakdowns don't begin with your team. They begin with you.When identity is misaligned, leadership clarity fades. And when clarity fades, teams falter — not because of incompetence, but because of confusion that trickled down from the top.Drawing on neuroscience (neuroception), psychology (cognitive dissonance), and soul-level truth, Julie unpacks why strategy alone can't solve an identity-level problem.
