Despite the space sector seeing greater investment and attention year-over-year, the sector still remains bound by an outdated and ineffective supply chain, especially in the United States. In this week's episode, host Maria Varmazis sits down with Doug Anderson, Partner at PwC, and Steve Jordan-Tomaszewski, Vice President of the Space Systems Division at AIA, to dive into PwC's recent study looking at the sector's supply chain limitations. During the conversation, they examine the supply chain's base risks and bottlenecks, and what strategies can be utilized to address these concerns.

Process and architecture folks excel at analyzing the as-is and optimizing it. But why? What if we skipped "As-Is" entirely and designed new processes from a fresh perspective?Scary? Our guest, Dr. Michael Rosemann, argues it's scarier to keep optimizing — because eventually you run out of things to optimize. Then what?Michael is the author/editor of twelve books in five languages and over 400 refereed papers. He's globally known for his work on BPM maturity models, context-aware BPM, process innovation, rapid process redesign, affective process design, and process modelling quality. He's presented at major global BPM conferences and delivered keynotes in 30+ countries, with research funded by Accenture, Cisco, Infosys, PwC, Rio Tinto, SAP, and Woolworths.In this episode, we cover:From efficiency to opportunity. After decades of classic BPM work, Michael pivoted from cost-cutting toward "crafting desirable futures" — partly sparked by his father asking if making companies more efficient was really the legacy he wanted. Three drivers of change: urgency (a burning platform), curiosity (testing the unknown), or ambition (a clear destination). Leaders without any of these stay "big, fat and happy" — and stuck.Root cause analysis of success, not failure. Instead of diagnosing what's broken, Michael's team studies "positive deviants" — top performers — and replicates their hidden practices org-wide using process mining.The seven types of opportunity (a counterpart to Lean's seven wastes), including "first data advantage" — examining what data your process already generates and who else might value it (e.g., an airline offering pet-sitting because it already knows who's traveling with pets).Process expansion, attention, and generalization — three opportunity types illustrated by Domino's "pizza tracker" (monetizing attention) and Uber's expansion from people to pizza, patients, and produce."Lot size of one." The goal isn't catching up to best practice — it's building processes so unique that no competitor, and no design thinking exercise, could replicate them (e.g., QUT's "upgradeable degree" concept).Opportunity appetite statements. Just as organizations have risk appetite statements, Michael argues they need the opposite — a deliberate statement of which opportunities they're willing to pursue, partly modeled on NASA's approach to balancing risk and ambition.Make the future tangible. Example: a six-minute video imagining a trauma patient's full recovery journey in 2033, used to rally stakeholders around a shared vision instead of incremental fixes.RX, EX, TX — Revenue Design, Emotional Experience, and Trust Experience. A framework for evaluating opportunities beyond pure transactions, including "transactional benevolence" (e.g., Netflix pausing billing for inactive subscribers, or a retailer refunding a price drop you didn't know about).Reframing the business case. To win leadership buy-in for trust- or future-focused initiatives, Michael suggests shifting from short-term cost to long-term opportunity cost — the price of not acting.AI as a thinking partner, not just a tool. Michael previews a prototype built with SAP Signavio that uses AI to proactively surface opportunities from an uploaded process model — "reverse prompting," where the tool greets you with an idea instead of waiting for a problem.The Future's Triangle. A framework for organizational inertia: the weight of the past, the distraction of the present, and the pull of the future — and why most companies only operate on the first two.Find Michael on LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/michaelrosemann/Reach us at hello@whatsyourbaseline.com or subscribe at whatsyourbaseline.substack.com.

With Karen Rickey still on the sick list, we dive straight into a jam-packed show covering the latest in boating, local industry campaigns, hot fishing spots, and a look at current marine debates.

AJ is fresh off the best concert of her life, and Shane is headed to the World Cup, so episode 192 kicks off with appropriate energy before diving into some of the meatiest topics the pod has covered in a while. They start with a Wall Street Journal piece about an elite retreat where children of ultra-high-net-worth families learn how not to blow their inheritance. AJ renames it Slumlord Training Camp, and she is not wrong. The conversation turns into a broader discussion about wealth hoarding, trickle-down economics, and why the top 0.001% of Americans added $2.7 trillion in wealth between 2020 and 2025 — roughly 250 people, for the record. From there, AJ and Shane dig into PwC's report on how AI is splitting the labor market into two distinct tracks, what it means for entry-level workers, and why your intern is now literally Claude. They also break down Zillow's latest housing market report and why you should always read the fine print on who is paying for the research. And they close on the Nest Egg Protection Act, a Republican proposal to give homeowners over 65 a one-million-dollar capital gains exclusion, and why AJ thinks we will never hear about this bill again. Topics covered: The R365 retreat for ultra high net worth kids and what it actually teaches them Wealth hoarding, trickle-down economics, and the $2.7 trillion wealth increase for 250 Americans PwC's two-track AI labor market report and what it means for entry-level workers Why radiologists and developers are thriving in the AI era Zillow's housing market update and why you should read who funded the research The Nest Egg Protection Act and a one-million-dollar capital gains exclusion for homeowners over 65 AJ's book Creative Money: New Financial Rules for Artists, Innovators, and Misfits Timestamps: 00:00 AJ went to Rosalía at MSG, and it was the best show of her life 03:17 Shane is wearing a Colombia jersey and headed to the World Cup 05:30 The Wall Street Journal's elite retreat, where wealthy kids learn not to blow their inheritance 10:41 The $2.7 trillion wealth increase for the top 0.001% and why this is getting out of control 15:06 PwC's AI labor market report: the two-track economy and what it means for entry-level workers 19:15 Why companies using AI are hiring more, not less 21:52 Zillow's housing market update and the fine print on who benefits 24:09 The Nest Egg Protection Act: a one million dollar capital gains exclusion for homeowners over 65 30:53 Why this bill is not a real solution to housing inventory 35:35 AJ's book Creative Money and a teaser for next week's Peter Thiel secret society episode

Good morning from Pharma Daily: the podcast that brings you the most important developments in the pharmaceutical and biotech world. Today, we delve into a rapidly evolving landscape marked by significant scientific breakthroughs, regulatory shifts, and strategic business maneuvers. The pharmaceutical and biotech sectors are buzzing with renewed vigor, as evidenced by an impressive resurgence in mergers and acquisitions. A recent analysis by PwC reports that M&A activity has reached over $65 billion in deal value during the first quarter of 2026, marking the strongest quarter since 2020. This uptick underscores a robust confidence within the industry, with companies strategically leveraging these mergers to bolster their pipelines and explore new therapeutic territories. Eli Lilly's acquisition of non-opioid pain drugmaker 4E is a case in point, as it reflects a broader industry shift towards precision medicine and non-opioid pain management solutions—a response to growing concerns over opioid addiction. On the regulatory front, notable developments include Colorado's drug import plan receiving FDA approval. This marks a bold step in curbing drug costs across the U.S., although implementation challenges remain due to complex logistical and regulatory landscapes. Meanwhile, Novo Nordisk is expanding its global manufacturing footprint with a new plant in the Czech Republic for diabetes and obesity drugs, alongside a $29 million investment to upgrade its Chinese facility. This expansion aligns with Novo's strategic preparation to seek Chinese regulatory approval for its Wegovy pill, potentially transforming the obesity treatment landscape. In a move that could reshape vaccine development, Moderna is advancing its mRNA-based influenza vaccine candidate through regulatory channels. The FDA's favorable reviews ahead of an advisory committee meeting highlight the growing acceptance of mRNA technology beyond COVID-19 vaccines. This technology holds promise for transforming vaccine development across various infectious diseases. Precision oncology continues to grapple with translating scientific discoveries into practical applications that genuinely improve patient outcomes. The ASCO 2026 conference emphasized this critical transition from discovery to implementation as essential for advancing precision medicine. Turning to gene therapy, UniQure is preparing for a significant milestone—submitting an accelerated Biologics License Application for its Huntington's disease therapy. This follows a reversal by the FDA, which now considers UniQure's Phase 1/2 trial data sufficient for submission. Should this therapy gain approval, it would be groundbreaking as the first genetic medicine for Huntington's disease, setting a precedent for future gene therapies targeting other genetic disorders. In another strategic partnership, Jazz Pharmaceuticals has teamed up with AbCellera to develop T-cell-engaging antibodies for oncology indications, illustrating the potential financial rewards associated with innovative cancer therapies. This collaboration could yield up to $820 million per program and highlights how partnerships are crucial in expediting drug development timelines. These stories reflect broader industry trends emphasizing innovation and strategic partnerships while navigating complex regulatory landscapes. The focus on precision medicine and advanced biologics continues to drive scientific advancements, with companies like Vedana Therapeutics targeting unmet needs in neurology through novel therapeutic approaches. Meanwhile, international collaboration is gaining traction in regulatory processes. The newly launched transatlantic liaison program between the FDA and MHRA aims to accelerate drug approvals and foster innovation across borders—an initiative that underscores the importance of collaborative frameworks. However, not all news is optimistic. Be Biopharma's decision to terminate its hemophilia B cell therapy trial highlights the challenges companies face in competitive therapeutic areas. Despite previous optimism, similar withdrawals by Pfizer and BioMarin indicate the necessity for robust clinical data and clear market differentiation strategies. Furthermore, Merck's recent agreement with Protillion Technologies marks an increased focus on integrating artificial intelligence into drug discovery processes—a trend promising accelerated timelines and improved trial success rates. As these developments unfold, it's evident that the pharmaceutical and biotech sectors are at an intersection where scientific innovation meets strategic business decisions. The potential approval of UniQure's gene therapy could catalyze further advancements in genetic medicine—while M&A activities suggest an industry poised for transformative growth. For stakeholders—from researchers to executives—the ability to adapt to these dynamic changes will be crucial in shaping the future of drug development and patient care. In conclusion, these stories collectively paint a picture of an industry evolving through scientific breakthroughs while adapting through strategic business decisions. As new technologies integrate into this space alongside regulatory advancements in gene therapy, this period of transformation holds promising implications for addressing unmet medical needs and enhancing therapeutic outcomes globally.Support the show

June 17, 2026: Anthropic's Claude Fable 5 and Mythos models were pulled after a government directive raised concerns about jailbreak risks, creating a wake-up call for companies building critical workflows on frontier AI models they don't actually control. Then I get into Meta's AI transformation struggles, including layoffs, employee reassignments, low morale, surveillance concerns, and what leaders can learn from one of the most visible AI change-management failures so far. Finally, I break down PwC's 2026 Global AI Jobs Barometer, which shows that AI isn't collapsing the labor market but splitting it into two tracks: roles where AI increases the value of human judgment, and roles where AI makes work easier for non-experts to perform.

Glen Shields is the Founder and CEO of GP Fund Solutions., an independent fund administrator for private fund managers who want institutional-grade back-office operations without sacrificing the trust and partnership of a boutique firm.In today's conversation, Glen takes us through 25 years in fund administration — from his early days at PwC and AYCO through the Goldman acquisition and spin-out, leading to the launch of GPFS from scratch with a one-page contract and a single relationship built on trust.We dig into how GPFS has grown to over $125 billion in assets under administration and what staying independent means in a consolidating industry.From there, we get into the data question that sits at the center of everything Glen is building — why shadow books signal a trust gap, how GPFS is moving from deliverable-driven fund admin to data-enabled partnership, and what good data design actually looks like when your clients have complex waterfall structures, hybrid fund vehicles, and investors who want information at speed.For anyone running or building operations at a private fund, this is a grounded conversation on what a fund admin relationship can and should look like when trust, data, and culture are all working together.Learn MoreFollow Capital Allocators at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@tseides⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ or ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠LinkedIn⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Subscribe to the ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠mailing list⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Access transcript with ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Premium Membership⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Editing and post-production work for this episode was provided by The Podcast Consultant (⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://thepodcastconsultant.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠)

Most business owners hear "AI" and immediately think: we need that. Myles Harrison thinks the opposite — and he built a company around it. Myles is the founder of  Praktikai, a boutique data and AI consulting firm whose name literally means practicality. A veteran of Big Five firms like Accenture and PwC, he now helps business owners cut through the noise and ask the real question: is technology actually your problem? In this episode, Myles shares why a bajillion-dollar tech investment can still fail if your people and processes aren't aligned, what it actually looks like to be a "sober, pragmatic" voice in an industry obsessed with hype, and how the best consultants don't make themselves the hero — they make their clients look good. We also dig into: The three-part operating model that most AI projects get wrong Why Myles is still waiting on the paperless office before worrying about the Terminator The farming metaphor that reframes how we think about automation and knowledge work What burnout on the Big Five consulting track actually taught him about limits The airport moment that surprised him most about working with clients in person If you've ever wondered whether AI is actually the solution — or just the most expensive way to avoid fixing the real problem — this episode is for you.

A new era at the Federal Reserve is underway. In this episode of Current Account, Clay is joined by Dr. Alexis Crow, Partner and Chief Economist at PwC, to examine what leadership under Chair Kevin Warsh could mean for U.S. monetary policy and global markets. As the Fed prepares for its first meeting under new leadership, they explore competing pressures around interest rates, inflation, and political influence, as well as Warsh's potential push to reshape the Fed's framework. The conversation also looks at how investors should interpret a more uncertain policy outlook and what shifts in the Fed's approach could mean for capital flows, the dollar, and financial stability worldwide.

Het is gelukt: er ligt een deal tussen Iran en de VS. Komende vrijdag wordt 'ie ondertekend in Zwitserland. Dan krijgen we ook de details. Voor nu is er nog een hoop onduidelijk, bovendien moet een deel ook nog ná het tekenen worden uitonderhandeld. Toch stelt het beleggers, zeker in de VS, vast gerust. Amerikaanse beurzen staan fors hoger. Is dat terecht of voorbarig? We zoeken het voor je uit. Gaan we je ook vertellen over de nieuwste tegenslag van Anthropic. De twee paradepaardjes van het bedrijf, AI-modellen Fable en Mythos, mogen de VS niet meer uit door een ingreep van de Amerikaanse overheid. Het zoveelste voorbeeld van de bekoelde relatie tussen die twee en bovendien een pijnlijke tegenvaller zo vlak voor de aanstaande beursgang. In hoeverre die daarmee ook in gevaar komt, gaan we ook bespreken. Hoor je ook nog over: Wéér een social media verbod en in hoeverre dat een gevaar is voor social media bedrijven Een kans in defensie voor een Frans autobedrijf RvC's die aandeelhouders passeren in hun bonusbeleid Nieuwe importheffingen van Donald Trump Te gast: Jean-Paul van Oudheusden van eToro en Markets Are Everywhere BNR Beurs is een journalistiek onafhankelijke productie, mede mogelijk gemaakt door Saxo.

Maxim van Mil is presentator van BNR Beurs en journalist bij BNR, waar hij zich focust op de financiële markten en ontwikkelingen in de tech-wereld.

Saul Cohen is an accountant, acquisitions advisor, and entrepreneur who helps business owners scale, optimize, and successfully exit their companies. With experience at PwC and years of advising founders on tax planning, acquisitions, and valuations, Saul has developed a practical framework for helping entrepreneurs build long-term wealth. In this episode, he shares lessons from his own entrepreneurial journey, why execution matters more than ideas, and how acquisitions can become a powerful wealth-building strategy for business owners. On this episode we talk about: Why execution is more valuable than having a great business idea Lessons learned from building and selling a business while still in university The realities of working at PwC and transitioning into entrepreneurship How tax planning, acquisitions, and business valuations impact long-term wealth Why entrepreneurs should understand acquisitions before preparing for an exit Top 3 Takeaways Ideas are only valuable when paired with execution. Success rarely comes from having the best idea—it comes from consistently executing better than everyone else. Small financial optimizations compound into life-changing results. Even modest tax savings or valuation improvements can create significant wealth over a business owner's lifetime. Understanding acquisitions makes you a better entrepreneur. Whether you're buying, selling, or scaling a business, acquisition knowledge helps increase valuation, create liquidity events, and accelerate growth. Notable Quotes "Your ideas are only as valuable as the execution." "If everyone tried to copy you, they still couldn't do it the way you do it because they're not you." "Small incremental gains can make such a big difference to someone's lifestyle when they finish this game."

What does strategy really mean when the word is everywhere, yet real strategic practice remains so rare?In this solo episode, David Lancefield takes on one of the most overused and misunderstood ideas in business. Drawing on nearly 30 years advising CEOs, C-suite leaders, founders, and leadership teams, he makes the case for a broader, more practical, and more human view of strategy.David explores why strategy so often gets trapped in decks, town halls, and top-level statements, while people across organisations are left unclear on the choices they can make and the contribution they can bring. He argues for a different approach: one that connects strategy with foresight, participation, ecosystems, self-management, and the wise use of AI — and brings it into the everyday moments that shape how we live and lead.If you want to think more clearly, act more intentionally, and raise your strategic game in your organisation, your team, and your own life, this episode will give you a fresh lens and a practical way forward.“Strategy is a practice for everyone, professional or personal.” – David LancefieldYou'll hear about:Why strategy is treated as distant and eliteStrategy defined: choices that move you to betterWhy strategy and execution must stay togetherStrategies that get announced but never translated downWhy more people need confidence to be strategicThe growing importance of foresight within strategyWhat open strategy looks like in practiceWhy ecosystems should shape strategy design and deliveryHow self-managed teams raise the bar for strategyWhere AI helps in strategy and where it doesn'tThe seven daily moments that make or break a dayWhy strategy is a practice for everyoneMore about DavidDavid Lancefield is a strategy and leadership advisor, coach, writer, and speaker who works with CEOs, C-suite executives, and founders at some of the world's top organisations.

Agentic AI is already here, but treasury workflows won't be transformed by novelty features or scattered pilots. Five Truths about Making AI Work in Treasury with Grant Walker of Nestlé, Dr Arif Esa of SAP and Aniket Kulkarni of PwC

La nouvelle stratégie canadienne en intelligence artificielle marque un changement important de cap : après avoir investi massivement dans la recherche, Ottawa veut désormais favoriser l'adoption de l'IA dans les entreprises et sa commercialisation à grande échelle. Dans cette entrevue, Annie Veillet de PwC souligne l'importance de la littératie numérique et de l'accompagnement des organisations pour transformer les investissements en retombées économiques concrètes. De son côté, Nicolas Papernot, co-directeur du programme de recherche de l'Institut canadien de la sécurité de l'IA, accueille favorablement le maintien du soutien à la recherche, notamment grâce aux investissements prévus dans les infrastructures de calcul et les talents. Les deux intervenants s'entendent sur un point : le Canada dispose d'atouts majeurs en IA, mais doit maintenant mieux relier recherche, entreprises et citoyens pour demeurer compétitif. La stratégie repose ainsi sur trois piliers complémentaires : confiance, adoption et souveraineté numérique.

What does it actually take to build a fintech company in Nigeria for five years with almost no visibility, no big splash, and no shortcut — and still come out standing?Babatunde Akin-Moses had a plan. Work for ten years, save money, then start a business. He did not want to be Bill Gates, he knew he was not from that kind of family. He looked at the Nigerian entrepreneurs he admired and every single one of them had worked first. So that was the plan: Shell for NYSC because the pay was good, then KPMG and PWC to learn the kind of rigor that makes you review a document and send it back because the margin was 1.5 when it should have been 1.6. That kind of rigor.But plans move. By the time he had the idea — a credit business for the growing businesses stuck in the middle, too big for microfinance and too small for the banks to care — he had been through enough to know that the business was not just an opportunity. It was a problem he had lived. He tried to start a digital laundry company in 2013 and could not get a business loan. As an employee, the salary loan was easy. As a business owner, the bank was not interested. That gap never left him.Sycamore started as a peer-to-peer lending platform, built because they had no capital and needed to be the middle, not the lender. For two years before their first VC round, they ran on angels, friends, and family. They were closing transactions on Google Forms. And Babatunde, sitting across from a potential investor, was asked if they were raising a SAFE and had to quietly ask what a SAFE was.In this episode he goes deep on all of it, the five years of building without noise while watching louder fintech companies make headlines and then quietly disappear, the regulatory crisis where someone impersonated Sycamore and got them removed from an approved lenders list, the co-founder he nearly lost and the personal sacrifice he almost made to save the business that he has never spoken about publicly until now.He talks about the milestone nobody knows about: building their own internal financial infrastructure before they could even launch the mobile app, in a shoestring budget, in weeks. He talks about being the first digital lender formally approved in Nigeria in 2022. He talks about coming first out of 7,000 competitors at the NSIA Prize for Innovation, which sent him to Silicon Valley for six weeks and landed him on the front page of Punch. He talks about the private note that was oversubscribed, and the Cascador win that brought ₦1.5 billion and a level of public attention he still cannot fully explain.But more than the milestones, this conversation is about the philosophy underneath all of it. How he built trust in fintech — an industry where trust is the whole product — by personalizing the brand, keeping every single promise, and staying long enough for customers who were doing ₦100k transactions to grow into customers doing ₦5 million. How he thinks about servant leadership, about not being able to overcommunicate, about the tension between rewarding exceptional performance and maintaining team cohesion. How he almost never applies for grants or competitions and still keeps winning them.And what he is actually building toward: not small business support, but a platform for growing businesses — the ones with 100 employees who need debt to become the ones with 1,000. The ones who will become the Interswitches and Dangotes of tomorrow if someone will just give them the credit line they need. And eventually, a financial services product that works for Africans wherever they are in the world.

This week on the podcast, we are doing a little something different. It's a conversation between JP Nerbun and John regarding the nearly simultaneous release of their new books on being a team captain and leader. Some people might think it interesting that authors with similar subjects would be collaborating on a book launch, but both of us do not believe in the scarcity mindset. The leadership space needs more books that are approachable for young athletes, high school athletes, and collegiate athletes, and we approach the topic differently. JP comes from a fable/fictional approach, while John and Jerry are straight up non fiction. The two books together speak to many aspects of leadership, albeit in differnt ways.  J.P. Nerbun (@TOCCulture) is a bestselling author, leadership coach, and the founder of TOC Culture Consulting, a leading global sports consulting and leadership coaching business. His mission is to support leaders and their teams in achieving their full potential through 1:1 coaching, consulting, and community engagement. Nerbun's impressive expertise extends across various fields, including sports, education, healthcare, and business. He has a proven track record of guiding leaders at prestigious institutions such as Stanford University, Harvard University, the University of Texas, the USGA, PwC, and Chick-fil-A. In 2019, he published his first book, "Calling Up: Discovering Your Journey to Transformational Leadership," which received critical acclaim. In 2022, he released "The Culture System," a groundbreaking book that offers a framework for developing team culture. In 2023, he launched The Culture System Online Training Platform, which has received praise for being the most comprehensive online coach education platform available. His podcast, "Coaching Culture," is among the top sports leadership podcasts globally. His new book is called The Culture Captain and you can grab a copy here.

Episode 226 of The Adventure Podcast features ex-England Rugby Captain, sailor, rower, and world-record holder, Ollie Phillips. After over a decade of elite sport and multiple Player of the Year awards, an unknown injury suddenly stopped Ollie's career. In this episode, Matt and Ollie cover what it's like to grieve a career and a life you dedicated yourself to, and what happens after. They talk about Ollie's last minute decision to say yes to the Clipper Round the World Race, having never sailed before, a world record expedition to the North Pole, and more recently, a charity row across the Atlantic. Ollie is funny, direct, and genuinely honest. And it turns out the gap between who you were and who you're becoming is where the most interesting stuff happens.For extra insights from the worlds of adventure, exploration and the natural world, you can find The Adventure Podcast+ community on Substack.

Today we're talking about a situation that comes up sometimes in leadership coaching engagements - a newly appointed leader who inherits an existing team and then struggles to establish credibility.This is one of the reasons organisations bring me in as a leadership coach. On paper, promoting this person to leader makes sense. The leader is capable, experienced, technically strong, maybe high-performing in previous roles.But then they step into a new leadership position with an inherited team… and things start to wobble.Maybe the team doesn't fully buy in. Momentum slows. Relationships become strained. The leader starts second-guessing themselves.In today's episode we are exploring why this transition can be so hard and how coaching can help the leader build engagement and thrive.Rebecca, on taking a step back in the first few days and weeks of your new leadership role: "What makes it particularly difficult is that many new leaders think they need to prove themselves quickly. So they overcompensate. They move too fast. And they try to establish authority before establishing trust."Links:Get a copy of Rebecca's 7 Strategic Shifts to Position You as a High-Impact LeaderBook a free 15 minute Career Strategy call with Rebecca to get your career off to a fresh start.

What if the biggest threat to your strategy isn't a competitor, a budget cut, or AI?What if it's busyness?In this Sharp Cut, Marc Binkley and Vassilis Douros tackle one of marketing and leadership's biggest comfort blankets: the belief that activity equals progress.Drawing on the work of Roger Martin, Richard Rumelt, Michael Porter, Henry Mintzberg, and decades of research in strategy, psychology, and organizational behaviour, they explore why so many companies mistake plans, initiatives, and corporate buzzwords for actual strategy.The conversation unpacks:Why strategy is fundamentally a series of choicesHow organizations become trapped in the illusion of progressWhy indecision is often the most common strategic outcomeThe hidden cost of strategic ambiguityWhat B2B buying behaviour can teach us about leadershipWhy marketing departments produce more content than ever while achieving less impactHow AI accelerates both good strategy and bad strategyThree practical actions leaders can take immediately to make better strategic decisionsThis episode is ultimately about one uncomfortable truth:Most organizations don't have a strategy problem.They have a choice problem.And until they're willing to make difficult choices, strategy remains little more than activity wearing a strategy costume.TakeawaysMost strategies presented are often just lists of initiatives.Real strategy involves making explicit choices and trade-offs.Indecision can be a strategy, but it's not an effective one.Ambiguity can be useful short-term but harmful long-term.Fluffy language often indicates a lack of real strategy.Marketing and strategy should be aligned for effectiveness.The say-do gap reflects a disconnect in organizational goals.AI can exacerbate existing strategic issues if not managed properly.Effective strategy requires clear, actionable frameworks.Leaders must be willing to make specific, falsifiable choices.Chapters00:00 - The Illusion of Strategy03:13 - Defining Real Strategy05:49 - The Challenge of Decision-Making08:49 - Indecision as a Strategy11:59 - The Role of Ambiguity in Strategy14:50 - The Cost of Fluffy Language17:48 - Marketing and Strategy Alignment21:04 - The Say-Do Gap in Organizations23:52 - The Impact of AI on Strategy27:03 - Practical Steps for Effective StrategyReferencesCappellaro, G., Compagni, A., & Vaara, E.

In this episode of The Association Insights Podcast powered by OnWrd & UpWrd, host Colleen Gallagher sits down with Adrienne Lerro, Partner at PwC, to discuss what it takes to successfully lead transformation in large organizations.Drawing on her experience leading global operational and technology transformations, Adrienne shares why the most successful organizations focus on solving business problems—not simply implementing new technology.

What makes a story land in a corporate setting, and what kills it? In this episode, Dr Gian Power OBE breaks down why leaders who rely on facts alone fail to move people, how to structure a story that drives real behaviour change, and what the biggest enemy of good storytelling really is (what he calls “the explainer”). We explore the fine line between authentic vulnerability and performative storytelling, the neuroscience behind why stories change how people act, and how AI is already becoming a powerful tool for leaders who want to communicate with more impact.If you lead people, speak to audiences, or simply want to communicate with more impact at work, this episode is for you.

This experience became the catalyst for his mission – to make workplaces more human, connected, and emotionally intelligent. In 2025, he was awarded an OBE for services to Mental Health, recognising his transformative impact on leadership and workplace culture. Now a sought-after keynote speaker, Gian addresses global audiences on human leadership, wellbeing, and storytelling, helping leaders create trust, resilience, and high-performance cultures.
