Senator Todd Young joins the Grow Everything podcast to discuss the critical intersection of biotechnology and national security, sharing how his military background, Indiana roots, and role as chairman of the National Security Commission on Emerging Biotechnology shaped his understanding of the bioeconomy as a strategic imperative. From DARPA's shelf-stable powdered blood to the America's Living Library Act — a first-of-its-kind effort to sequence the DNA of flora and fauna across US national parks — Senator Young lays out a compelling vision for distributed biomanufacturing, AI-powered biological discovery, and why the US must act now in what he calls a generational tech competition with China. Karl and Erum also recap highlights from Suppliers Day hosted by the New York Society of Cosmetic Chemists, including biotech-forward exhibitors like Probiotical, Origins by Ocean, Geltor, and the unveiling of BioAtlas — the first open source map of industrial biotech.Grow Everything brings the bioeconomy to life.

Every system we move through runs on norms: rules and agreements that are both explicit and implicit. And nowhere are they more powerful–or more invisible–than in how we lead and how we build our businesses. In fact, sociologists have consistently found that norms don't announce themselves. They travel through families, schools, workplaces, and entire cultures through repetition and imitation, often persisting long after the conditions that created them have changed. We absorb them before we can name them. And once they are inside us, they feel like “just the way things are.”In leadership development the norms run so deep we have mistaken them for truth. As a result, the model leader–despite decades of language to the contrary–still looks and sounds like a very particular kind of person.My guest today offers that leadership development has been trying to make better leaders for a broken system, rather than questioning whether the system itself needs to change. Nilofer Merchant has spent her career making the invisible visible–naming the norms, the systems, the daily routines that keep us collectively stuck. In this conversation, we go deep on the difference between caring and caretaking, what it means to trust yourself when the ground keeps disappearing, and what it actually takes to stop trying to fix what is not working and become someone who builds what is needed, right where you are.Nilofer Merchant is the co-founder of Intangible Labs. She spent over 25 years leading technology companies (Apple, Autodesk, GoLive/Adobe) and personally launched over 100 products and services, netting $18 billion in revenues. She is ranked among the top 50 influential management thinkers in the world (one of her TED Talks has been referenced 300 million times). Our Best Work is her 4th book.Listen to the full episode to hear:Why accepting our current norms won't get leaders where they want to goHow what we call personal agency is in reality socially constructed and drivenWhy we need more real care and less caretaking in our relationships at work and in lifeHow teams can shift towards situational leadership and recentering how we think about the unique value and capabilities individuals bringHow ownership, shared purpose, and co-creation help us build new systems, unstuck from the status quoNilofer's lessons about self-trust, taking risks, and approaching the future of work with hopeLearn more about Nilofer Merchant:WebsiteThe Intangible LabsInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/nilofer/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/nilofer.merchantConnect on LinkedInOur Best Work: Break Free from the 24 Invisible Norms That Limit UsLearn more about Rebecca:rebeccaching.comWork With RebeccaThe Unburdened Leader on SubstackSign up for the weekly Unburdened Leader EmailResources:The Power of Onlyness: Make Your Wild Ideas Mighty Enough to Dent the WorldMary Parker FollettMother Mary Comes to Me, Arundhati RoyThe God of Small Things, Arundhati RoyPrizefighter - Mumford & SonsLaw & OrderDire Straits - Money For NothingDuran Duran - Hungry like the WolfThe Curiosity Shop with Brené Brown and Adam GrantChapters:(00:07) - Introduction (12:12) - Why Norms Persist (15:17) - Making the Hard Changes (16:42) - Personal Agency is Not Persona (19:31) - Servant to Situational Leadership (23:44) - Care vs Caretaking (32:37) - Making it Practical: Power of Onlines (39:38) - Uncertainty and Control (43:20) - AI, Layoffs, and Control (46:33) - Build The New Village (48:29) - Ownership Over Accountability (53:03) - Trusting Your Instinct (57:29) - Walking Toward Yourself (01:01:06) - Hope As Liberation (01:04:06) - Quickfire Questions (01:10:44) - How To Connect (01:11:33) - Closing Thoughts

Meet Riley Bull, the Football Analyst at the St Kilda Football Club in the Australian Football League.After leaving a half-finished Criminal Justice degree behind, it wasn't until he found football analytics that things started to click. He cut his teeth in a 5-month internship at Premier Data during peak lockdown before landing an unpaid internship at Port Melbourne in the VFL. Within 11 months, he was promoted to Head of Football Analysis and Data, a role he held for three years.Along the way, Riley also built transferable data skills in the supply chain industry, proving that analytics experience outside of sport is anything but wasted. Then, through the power of relationships he'd quietly built over years, a non-advertised role at the Saints as Football Analyst, one of the most competitive and niche roles in the sport, landed in his lap. He grabbed it and hasn't looked back since.If you want to hear how to turn data skills from any industry into a role inside an AFL club, this episode is one for you!We cover:(03:15) - Interview begins(04:54) - Quick Fire Questions(09:55) - Riley's first exposure to data analytics in sport(12:24) - Riley's role at Port Melbourne FC(17:15) - How AFL and VFL coaching team structures differ(21:45) - Riley's experience in data analytics outside sport(24:14) - Riley's role at St Kilda Football Club(34:33) - How is a football analyst's performance measured?(37:36) - Inside the coaches box for the largest comeback in AFL history(43:12) - Challenges Riley faced breaking into sport(44:46) - How did Riley decide this was the career path he wanted to take(46:39) - What helped Riley stand out in his roles(47:42) - Impact of mentors on Riley's journey(50:20) - How to land a job as a Football Analyst in the next 30 days(52:12) - What would life look life if not a career in sport?(53:26) - If you could fix one thing that's wrong with the sports industry overnight, what would it be and why would you want to fix that specifically?(55:14) - Riley's question for next guestIf you liked this ep, give these a go next:#230: Performance Analysis at Collingwood Super Netball with Bianca Litchfield#227: How to be a Performance Analyst for Pro Tennis Players with Shane Liyanage#259: How Champion Data deliver analytics all over the worldWant a job in sport?

UNPACKING THE BUDGET: The 2026 Federal Budget just changed the rules for Australian property investors, but not in the way most headlines suggest.Note: Refer to the list of timecoded episode segments below After a flood of listener feedback following last week’s emergency Budget preview episode, Australia’s leading property investment strategist Bushy Martin returns with a major post-Budget deep dive unpacking what the new property tax reforms actually mean for investors, homeowners, renters and the future of wealth creation in Australia. In this special extended episode of the Get Invested podcast, Bushy cuts through the political spin, media noise and social media panic to break down the real-world implications of the 2026–27 Federal Budget, including the Government’s landmark changes to capital gains tax, negative gearing, discretionary trusts and future property investing incentives. Importantly, Bushy explains why property investing is far from dead, but why the era of lazy, tax-led “set and forget” investing may now be over. This is not a doom-and-gloom episode. It’s a strategic roadmap for navigating what could become one of the biggest structural shifts in Australian property investing in decades. Bushy challenges the Government’s “intergenerational fairness” narrative, questions whether the reforms will meaningfully improve affordability or rents, and exposes the contradiction between Labor’s previous “supply-first” position and the sweeping tax changes now being introduced. But more importantly, he explains where the opportunities are likely to emerge next. From new-build incentives and shifting capital flows through to borrowing power, holding costs, trust structures and the emerging post-Budget investment sweet spot, this is a practical, strategic and highly actionable masterclass designed to help investors think clearly while others react emotionally. Bushy also unpacks the broader economic and behavioural implications of the reforms, including the potential unintended consequences for supply, rents, development feasibility and investor participation.

Meet Sarah Dyce, Public Affairs and Marketing Manager at the Victorian Institute of Sport.Sarah has a wealth of experience in sports communications, working behind the scenes of the moments that matter most. After graduating with a Bachelor of Marketing and Public Relations from the University of Notre Dame in Perth, Sarah made a bold move to Melbourne in 2018.But here's the part most people don't know. Sarah never set out to work in sport. She arrived in Melbourne in 2018 with a marketing degree, no contacts, and a determination to avoid a nine-to-five in Perth's mining and oil and gas sector. She found a listing on a website better known for arts and theatre jobs, applied for an unpaid internship at Swimming Australia, and quietly outworked everyone around her until the industry had no choice but to take notice.What followed was years of contract roles spanning Tokyo 2020 and Paris 2024 Olympic Games as part of the Australian Olympic Committee's Main Press Centre team, worked the Invictus Games in Düsseldorf, the World University Games in Berlin, the Australian Open, A-League Finals Series, and helped orchastrate one of the most viral moments of the 2025 Australian Open - the now-famous Carlos Alcaraz and young fan John's encounter that captured the world's attention.In this episode, Sarah takes us through the mindset shift that made contract life work for her, the networking habits she built that kept the opportunities coming, and the deliberate decisions she made along the way that led her to the role she has today. If you've ever talked yourself out of applying for a sport role because you didn't feel "sport enough," Sarah's story is the one you need to hear!We cover:(03:07) - Interview starts(09:23) - Quick Fire Questions(16:32) - Why Sarah moved from Western Australia to Melbourne?(20:11) - What her time at Swimming Australia taught Sarah(24:08) - Why Sarah left a full-time role to pick up contract work(28:48) - Sarah's takeaways from contract work(31:54) - How Sarah managed to stack contracts(36:42) - What a day in the AOC Main Press Centre team looks like(43:14) - Differences and similarities of working at the Tokyo and Paris Olympics(51:53) - The viral AO moment Sarah helped make happen(57:27) - How Sarah landed a role at the World University Games in Berlin(01:02:46) - How Sarah's current role at the VIS came about(01:07:20) - How do you measure success across the various roles Sarah has held(01:09:28) - Biggest challenges in sports media and PR(01:11:16) - How you can stand out in a saturated sports media landscape(01:13:22) - How to handle difficult situations as a sports comms professional(01:16:19) - How to build trust and relationships with variou stakeholders in sport(01:19:00) - Impact of mentors on Sarah's journey(01:24:07) - How to land a job in sport media and PR in the next 30 days(01:25:49) - Biggest "Pinch Me" moment working in sport(01:29:39) - What is a takeaway from a family member that influenced your career in sport?(01:31:22) - Sarah's question for next guestIf you liked this ep, give these a go:#281: Journey to Head of Media Rights at Cricket Australia with Abhi Arunachalam#312: How Vimal Kumar Became a Cricket Writer, Built 600k+ on YouTube & Travelled the World#335: How to land a job at the VIS with Director of People & Community, Daniel SimonsWant a job in sport?

Meet Chris Grant, Principal Legal Counsel at the Australian Grand Prix Corporation - the government agency behind two of Australia's biggest motorsport events: the Formula 1 Australian Grand Prix and the Australian MotoGP at Phillip Island.Chris is one of the few people who successfully crossed the bridge from private practice law into the world of professional sport. After graduating from Deakin University with a Bachelor of Laws and completing exchange programs in Shanghai and Denmark, he cut his teeth at top-tier firm Minter Ellison, where years of grinding through clerkships, graduate rotations, and high-pressure corporate work laid the foundation.

This week we spent all our time pressing the flesh (until finding out we'd misunderstood what that means and getting very firmly asked to leave Subway) all in order to win the approval of this week's guest, the master networker Oli Barrett MBE. Blessed with the ability to bring together the right people with the right ideas at the right time, Oli has built a reputation for being the nation's ultimate connector. But, being a fine fellow as well as a canny-business operator, he has used his powers for good – forming remarkable social change initiatives like ‘Tenner', the UK's largest schools entrepreneurship competition and ‘Turn On The Subtitles', a global children's literacy campaign. Deftly uniting the worlds of entrepreneurship, innovation, education and social impact, Oli has been rightly lauded and awarded for his considerable efforts – bagging, among other accolades, the title of ‘Most Connected Man in Britain' from Wired and a place in GQs ‘Top 100 connected figures'. Plus there's the small matter of being awarded an actual MBE from the actual Queen who, we assume, Oli was able to successfully introduce to an off-the-grid artisan driving-goggle manufacturer based in the Peak District. In a chat where Oli reveals the magic behind all his connective conjury, we ponder everything from the value of active learning to the magnetic powers of a well-built network.Follow Oli on LinkedIn ////Timestamps 02:27 – Quick Fire Questions 05:18 – The Zigzag Journey: Dropping Out and Moving On 11:04 – Disney World vs. Lecture Halls: The Awakening 12:01 – Networking: Chance Encounters vs Intentional Connections 14:40 – The First Business: Amazing You 18:05 – The £10 Challenge That Took Off 24:22 – The Power of Defaults: Small Changes, Big Impact 26:04 – Permission to Create: The Entrepreneurial Mindset 30:08 – Connecting the Dots: How to Build Real Networks 35:45 – The Art of Introduction: What Actually Makes It Work//// Oli's book recommendations are: How to Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie The Tipping Point by Malcolm Gladwell Reflections on Success by Martyn Lewis The Ride of a Lifetime by Robert Iger ////

Daniel Scharff, founder of Startup CPG, joins the Grow Everything podcast to share how he built the world's largest community for emerging consumer brands. With 35,000 members in their Slack channel and over 75 in-person events annually, Startup CPG is democratizing access to retail buyers, investors, and industry resources that would typically cost founders thousands in consulting fees. Daniel discusses the harsh realities of CPG entrepreneurship—including why only 20-25% of brands survive beyond a few years—and shares his playbook for success: prioritize great branding and taste over health claims, build scrappy and resourceful, and delay fundraising until you can command a meaningful valuation. He reveals patterns he's observed across thousands of brands, from the danger of copycat products in oversaturated categories (looking at you, chili crisps and prebiotic sodas) to the power of in-person connections for discovering innovation. Daniel also explains why Startup CPG operates on a "do good, do well" model, offering free resources to brands while building a sustainable business through sponsorships and events—and why he believes this approach could transform other industries beyond CPG.Grow Everything brings the bioeconomy to life.

Join us for the last highlight of Season 2! The New Yorkers Podcast will be back for Season 3 in two weeks! Until then, please enjoy this episode on the tantalizing tale of New York City in the 1980s from the brilliant Jonathan Mahler. ******************************* In this episode, Kelly is joined by Jonathan Mahler! He is a staff writer for The New York Times Magazine, his sports journalism has been featured in the book “The Best American Sports Writing”, and he is the author of two books: “Ladies and Gentlemen, The Bronx is Burning” as well as “The Challenge.” And his third book “The Gods of New York” is available now wherever you buy books! Join them, as Jonathan tells Kelly a bit about where he's from, and his profession. Kelly asks about raising kids in New York City, and what age did he think is ok for kids to ride the subway. Kelly asks Jonathan to give him a background of New York City leading up to the 1980s. Jonathan tells him what it was like to cover the 2016 presidential campaign, and how he was inspired to write this book. Jonathan tells Kelly about some of the stories that were going on during the second half of the 1980s, and Kelly talks about how he remembers living through a lot of these headlines. Kelly asks Jonathan what he thinks of the current Mayoral race in New York City. Jae tells a funny story of what floridians think of the race. And Jonathan recounts how he thinks that the events of his book have a direct effect on this current political climate. Jonathan talks about his research process for the book, what archival he used, and the people he was able to interview. Jae and Kelly talk about how much they love the writing of the book: How personable it is, how funny it is, and how the passion for New York City is dripping off every page. Kelly asks Jonathan to tell us about the title of the book: "The Gods of New York". Jonathan talks about where the title came from, how much he loves the title, but also why he was apprehensive to call it that. Finally, Kelly asks Jonathan some questions about his writing process, as well as some fun quick New York City questions that every New Yorker has an answer for. But above all else; Jonathan Mahler is a New Yorker!

Join us for a mind-bending conversation with Professor Michael Levin, director of the Allen Discovery Center at Tufts University, as he reveals how cells make decisions without brains, store memories without DNA, and navigate anatomical space like we navigate physical space. Discover how his team created two-headed immortal worms whose memory persists across regeneration cycles, how bioelectrical patterns control body shape independently of genetics, and why the future of medicine lies in communicating with the collective intelligence of our cells rather than micromanaging their molecular machinery. From xenobots made of frog cells to the anatomical compiler that will revolutionize regenerative medicine, this episode explores the frontier where developmental biology, cognition, and robotics converge to redefine what it means to be alive.Grow Everything brings the bioeconomy to life.

We broke our sacred rule for a very good reason. The former World No. 1 and 2018 Australian Open champion joins the pod for one of the funniest and unfiltered interviews we've ever done. Caro looks back on her incredible career, her comeback after motherhood and what life looks like now. Of course, we asked the important stuff too, like whether she actually earns frequent flyer miles, and how she became BFF with Serena (which somehow involves an unexpected doubles partnership with Venus). Meanwhile, the boys dive into the madness of the ATP Finals, reliving their own runs in London and debating who handled the O2 pressure best... spoiler, not all of them! Things take a turn with a “favorite tennis couples” segment that quickly goes off the rails, complete with hot takes, wild rumors, and maybe a little oversharing. 00:00 Intro 00:55 Tighty Whitey Poll Results 02:12 Tour Finals Memories 10:34 Favorite Tennis Couples 18:49 Interview with Caroline Wozniacki 25:01 Reflecting on the Australian Open Victory 25:21 Handling Pressure and Match Points 26:19 Post-Match Celebrations and Regrets 26:49 Career Challenges and Unmastered Shots 27:47 Travel Tales and Frequent Flyer Miles 29:32 Choosing the Ideal Travel Companion 31:03 Fashion Collaboration with Stella McCartney 32:13 Motherhood and Tennis Comeback 35:48 Encouraging Kids in Sports 38:42 Quickfire Questions and Tennis Insights 43:37 Serena Williams: A Formidable Opponent and Friend 48:12 Wedding Fun and Future Plans 50:50 Debating Tennis Achievements 55:07 Conclusion and Upcoming Tennis Events

Will shares his journey from achieving external success while feeling internally miserable to discovering the profound connection between emotional healing and sexual satisfaction. He breaks down his six fundamental emotions framework and explains why "You're not getting angry because you're tough—you're getting angry because you feel weak," a revelation that changed how he approached both therapy and intimacy. Through candid stories about religious sexual shame and the universal male experience of measuring penis size with a ruler, Will demonstrates how vulnerability can actually increase attraction. The conversation tackles why less than 5% of therapy clients discuss sex directly, how working on general insecurities often improves bedroom experiences more than focusing on sex itself, and practical steps for finding partners who can hold space for authentic emotional expression.

Visit the Sex With Emily Website: https://sexwithemily.com/ In this enlightening episode of Sex with Emily, Dr. Emily reunites with the legendary Carol Queen, sexologist, author, and co-founder of the Center for Sex and Culture in San Francisco. Carol, who's been Good Vibrations' staff sexologist for over 30 years and has been speaking publicly about sexuality for 50 years, returns for an essential conversation about revitalizing routine sex, navigating physical challenges in intimacy, and finding your sexual community. This episode tackles everything from making masturbation part of your self-care routine to creative solutions for mobility challenges in the bedroom. Carol breaks down how sexual discourse has evolved from underground feminist publications to mainstream media, while emphasizing that there's no "normal" sex life everyone must follow. We explore practical techniques for spicing up routine encounters and dive into the importance of finding consensual spaces for all types of sexual expression. We take listener calls from Jess, who wants to elevate his hookup routine with temperature play and atmosphere, Tommy, who's seeking advice on approaching older women, Jake, who's looking for safe spaces to explore exhibitionist fantasies, and John, whose wife's knee problems require creative positioning solutions. Carol's decades of experience shine through as she emphasizes that variety and difference make sexuality beautiful, not something to be ashamed of or conform to arbitrary standards. 0:00 - Introduction 1:20 - Caller Question: Spicing Up Gay Male Hookups & Avoiding Boredom 7:13 - Dating Older Women: How to Start Conversations & Build Confidence 10:05 - Preventing Recurring UTIs: Practical Tips & Product Recommendations 13:45 - Interview with Sexologist Carol Queen: 50 Years of Sexual Liberation 16:15 - How Sexual Discourse Has Changed: From Underground to Mainstream 20:32 - The History of "Pegging" & Educational Porn vs Entertainment 31:14 - Sex Positions for Physical Challenges: Knee Problems & Alternatives 41:03 - Quick Fire Questions with Carol Queen
