In this Quick Win episode, New York Times bestselling author Chris Guillebeau shares his email strategy for fighting time anxiety - including why he’s totally fine with ignoring some emails (even if it ticks people off). Chris also explains how email bankruptcy helped him reset his inbox every year, and why trying to be an “email ninja” can backfire when you’re focused on the wrong things. Chris and I talk about: Why “inbox guilt” is so hard to shake—and how Chris reframed it The bold email strategy Chris uses to stay sane Why he’s been doing email bankruptcy for the last 5–6 years The real reason he’s okay with not replying to every email Key Quotes: “If I am always responsive, that means I’m not doing other things.” “I just archive everything that’s in the inbox that I haven’t responded to.” Listen to the full interview with Chris here.

Are you stuck in autopilot, drifting through life without a sense of direction? This episode can help you get back in touch with what really matters. In this Quick Win, I’m joined by Dr. Emily Musgrove - clinical psychologist, author of Unstuck, and resident Psych on The Imperfects podcast. We unpack the signs you’re disconnected from your values and the simple ways to reconnect with them, like the “80th birthday” exercise and a values questionnaire. Dr. Em shares: How values misalignment shows up in therapy and life Why “stuckness” signals you’re out of touch with your values The 80th birthday exercise for identifying what really matters to you The power of questionnaires in surfacing your core values Why values are bidirectional (hint: kindness to yourself counts too) Key Quotes: “The presence of avoidance often signals a values disconnection.” “Being kind includes being kind to yourself - sometimes that means setting boundaries.” Connect with Dr. Em on Instagram, LinkedIn and her website.

Choosing the wrong medical sales role is one of the biggest reasons professionals burn out or walk away from the industry. In this episode, Samuel Adeyinka breaks down exactly how to avoid that mistake — and how to find the medical sales specialty that actually fits your personality, lifestyle, and long-term goals. Medical sales isn't one-size-fits-all. From trauma reps in the OR at 3 a.m. to pharmaceutical reps building slow-burning relationships, this episode unpacks the real differences between specialties — and how those differences directly impact your happiness and success. Samuel shares four powerful questions to ask before applying to any role, helping you get clear on your ideal lifestyle, how you like to build relationships, your appetite for clinical depth, and whether you're built for building new business or growing existing accounts. You'll also learn what hiring managers are really looking for, why desperation kills your chances, and how the wrong fit leads to fast burnout and industry ghosting. This episode is packed with real talk, strategic insight, and a roadmap to make smarter career decisions from the start. If you're serious about getting into medical sales, stop guessing.

Work-life balance. We’ve all heard the phrase — but how do you actually achieve it? And more importantly, is it even possible when it feels like everything’s urgent and important? It sounds simple: prioritise your tasks and sort them out. But the real challenge lies in knowing what truly matters. In the whirlwind of competing demands from work, family, and life, how do you decide what gets your time and attention? In this Quick Win episode, I revisit a powerful conversation with Ariel Garten, neuroscientist, entrepreneur, and founder of Muse — to unpack her refreshingly honest approach to prioritisation in the face of constant demands. Ariel and I discuss: How Ariel approaches prioritisation from both a big-picture (annual/quarterly) and micro (daily) perspective Why value-based decisions matter when you’re torn between business, family, and personal needs The relief of having some decisions made for you, and accepting the limits of your time and capacity How embracing imperfection and setting boundaries can actually create more meaningful opportunities Listen to the full interview with Ariel here.

In face of the climate emergency, integrating social protection into countries' nationally determined contributions (NDCs) is essential for supporting vulnerable communities, advancing low-carbon transitions, and unlocking climate finance to expand adaptive social protection systems. With many countries set to update these critical climate instruments under the scope of the Paris Agreement, this is a critical moment to explore the topic. In this episode, we examine how social protection is being woven into national climate policies, with a spotlight on Cambodia's pioneering approach—not only mentioning social protection but recognising it as a distinct sector in its new NDC 3.0. We delve deeper to discuss what it takes to bridge climate action and social protection, from building resilience and inclusive adaptation, to unlocking climate finance and coordinating across ministries. Meet our guest: Dr. Matthew Walsham, Social Protection Specialist (Climate), Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations (FAO). Mr. Sophornreaksmey Sreng, Deputy Secretary General, General Secretariat for the National Social Protection Council, Kingdom of Cambodia. For our Quick Wins segment, we are joined by Sayanti Sengupta, Technical Advisor for Social Protection & Climate at the Red Cross Red Crescent Climate Centre, expanding on concrete steps countries can take to advance the critical agenda of integrating social protection into NDCs.

Wie schafft Deutschland endlich den digitalen Sprung in der öffentlichen Verwaltung? Welche Hürden gibt es und wie können wir sie überwinden? Um diese spannenden Fragen dreht sich die aktuelle Episode von MY DATA IS BETTER THAN YOURS mit Host Jonas Rashedi und Dr. Horst Baier, CIO beim Land Niedersachsen. Horst erklärt, warum Deutschland aktuell noch nicht zu den Spitzenreitern gehört und welche strukturellen Veränderungen notwendig sind, um das zu ändern. Dabei berichtet er von konkreten Projekten wie der Registermodernisierung und zeigt auf, warum Zentralisierung und Automatisierung entscheidend für die Zukunftsfähigkeit sind. Besonders spannend ist hierbei die Idee, mithilfe einer zentralen Steuer-ID sämtliche Verwaltungsprozesse effizienter und bürgerfreundlicher zu gestalten. Zudem spricht Horst offen über die kulturellen Herausforderungen und die Angst vor dem Verlust persönlicher Kontrolle, die viele Bürger gegenüber digitalisierten Behördenprozessen empfinden. Die beiden sprechen zudem über Vorbilder wie Dänemark und Singapur und diskutieren intensiv, welche Rolle Datenschutz und Cybersicherheit dabei spielen. Gerade Singapur zeigt beeindruckend, wie durch konsequente Digitalisierung das Leben der Bürger deutlich erleichtert wird. Jonas und Horst diskutieren außerdem, wie neue Technologien wie Künstliche Intelligenz (KI) den Bürgern und Verwaltungsmitarbeitern das Leben erleichtern könnten. Auch mögliche politische und organisatorische Hürden bei der Umsetzung dieser Technologien kommen zur Sprache. Abgerundet wird das Gespräch durch persönliche Erfahrungen und konkrete Vorschläge von Horst, wie Digitalisierung im Alltag der Bürger schneller spürbar wird. Ein Gespräch, das Mut macht und klare Wege aufzeigt, wie Digitalisierung im öffentlichen Sektor gelingen kann.

High Culture Hiring – so nennt Medizinalcannabis-Scale-up enua sein kompromissloses Recruiting-System. Deshalb habe ich mit CEO Albert Schwarzmeier gesprochen, um herauszufinden, wie er in nur zwei Jahren von 15 auf 51 Mitarbeitende gewachsen ist – und zwar profitabel, ganz ohne Burn-rate. Zunächst einmal: Schnelles Wachstum gelingt nur mit den richtigen Leuten. Darum definiert enua jede Rolle glasklar nach Purpose, Impact, KPIs und Culture Fit, bevor eine Anzeige live geht. Dann öffnet sich der Funnel aus LinkedIn-Posts, StepStone-Ads und einem starken Empfehlungsprogramm, das bereits 30 % aller Neueinstellungen liefert. Außerdem punktet das Team mit Tempo. HR meldet sich innerhalb von 48 Stunden im Videocall. Danach folgt der Hiring-Manager noch in derselben Woche. Schließlich trifft jede Bewerberin oder jeder Bewerber spätestens am siebten Tag eine Geschäftsführerin oder einen Geschäftsführer. Fällt ein Daumen im Panel nach unten, endet der Prozess sofort – daher spart enua Zeit, Geld und Nerven. Das Konzept endet natürlich nicht mit der Unterschrift. Somit führt das Onboarding neue Kolleg:innen in den ersten 30 Tagen gezielt durch Sales, Supply Chain, Data & Quality. Dadurch verstehen sie das hoch regulierte Produkt blitzschnell und liefern schon in Woche vier erste Quick Wins. Das Ergebnis: nahezu keine Kündigungen in der Probezeit. Zugleich bleibt Recruiting Chefsache. Albert veröffentlicht wöchentlich drei LinkedIn-Beiträge, misst Employer-Branding-KPIs und gibt jede Einstellung persönlich frei. Auf diese Weise schützt er die Kultur, obwohl das Team rasant wächst. Hinzu kommt ein konsequentes Reporting. Jede Woche prüft das People-Team Time-to-Hire, Funnel-Conversion und Cost-per-Hire. Sobald ein Ziel verfehlt wird, reagiert enua sofort – sei es mit neuen Sourcing-Quellen oder angepassten Interviewfragen. Mein Fazit: High Culture Hiring ist ein echter Wachstumsbooster. Wer seine Kultur messbar macht und jede Einstellung an klaren Kriterien ausrichtet, gewinnt den War for Talent – sogar in Nischen wie Medizinalcannabis. Daher solltest du jetzt reinhören, wenn du dein Recruiting auf High-Speed und High-Quality bringen willst. In der Episode bekommst du Alberts komplette Checkliste zum Nachbauen.

This week, we're diving into the wellness headlines that got us talking, from new research linking sweeteners to early puberty, to what the science really says about the keto diet. We're also looking at the rise of broccoli shots in elite sport and why grip strength might be one of the most important health markers we rarely talk about. There's a lot to cover, including Donald Trump and Coca-Cola's, a viral debate around bacon and cancer risk, and a listener question on how food can support hormone health. At the end of the show, we're sharing a few personal updates, including the launch of Ella's new cookbook Quick Wins, our first-ever homeware collection with John Lewis, a campaign to improve free school breakfasts, and some summer picks for kids' food and theatre deals.

Giving feedback to someone else is hard, especially when it involves constructive criticism or even outright bad news. For those who have a need to be liked, we often end up beating around the bush, hiding the feedback in praise, or avoiding the conversation entirely. Naturally, this can have some pretty poor consequences, often worse than if we had just been honest in the first place. This is something that Laura Henshaw knows all too well and has worked incredibly hard to overcome. Laura is the co-founder and CEO of the highly successful KIC App and co-host of the chart-topping KIC podcast. Laura shares: Why you’ll never succeed at getting everyone to like your decisions.

Welcome to The Times of Israel's Daily Briefing, your 20-minute audio update on what's happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world. Military reporter Emanuel Fabian joins host Amanda Borschel-Dan for today's episode. Overnight, an Israeli airstrike in Iran killed Saeed Izadi, the head of the Palestine Corps in the IRGC Quds Force, who funded and armed Hamas ahead of the terror group’s October 7 onslaught as part of a multi-front plan to destroy Israel. Fabian describes who he was and how central he was in drafting Iran's ultimate strategy to eliminate Israel. Also hit last night was Iran’s Isfahan nuclear site for the second time since the start of the conflict, as Iran fired an overnight volley of five ballistic missiles at central Israel. The strike on the first day of the conflict destroyed several critical sections, including uranium conversion infrastructure and labs. Last night's strikes were intended to cause further damage to Iran’s nuclear program. IDF Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir told Israelis yesterday that they must prepare for a “prolonged campaign” against Iran to “eliminate a threat of this magnitude,” indicating that a quick end to the campaign was unlikely. We ask Fabian to decipher this cryptic message from the head of the IDF even as US President Donald Trump told reports that Israel appears to be "winning." Also yesterday, reporters were told that Israel is not running low on air defense interceptors amid its conflict with Iran, denying reporting that the IDF’s stockpile of interceptor missiles is being depleted. Fabian explains why this may still be the case. Iran is not only firing traditional ballistic missiles at Israel: At least one ballistic missile launched by Iran at Israel in a barrage on Thursday morning was carrying a cluster bomb warhead, marking a dangerous new development. We speak about this type of missile, as well as Iran's drips-and-drabs retaliation to the continued Israeli strikes. To close out, we review the stunning operation to eliminate Iran’s top military commanders early June 13 was code-named “Red Wedding” after the infamous scene in the “A Song of Ice and Fire” book series and “Game of Thrones” TV show, due to the almost fantastical way it was carried out. Fabian explains why. Check out The Times of Israel's ongoing liveblog for more updates.

The big catch with a creative business is that the more successful you get, the more your creative endeavour can feel like a chore instead of a passion. But what if there was one thing you could do to ensure the passion stays? Ben Shewry is head chef and owner of multi-award winning Melbourne restaurant, Attica. Attica has been featured several times in the The World's 50 Best Restaurants and has been named the Best Restaurant in Australia. He is also the author of bestseller Uses for Obsession, a memoir about Ben’s experiences in hospitality. With all of this success and all these projects, Ben has definitely found more demands on his time, and yet he still manages to keep that joy and passion with his creative work. Ben shares:
Remote work didn't break your culture — silence did.Only 28% of fully remote employees feel connected to their company's mission. That's not just a gap. That's a fracture.Start every virtual meeting by connecting the agenda to a greater purpose.Remind your team who they're serving — not just what they're doing.People don't need more tasks.

Worrying can take up so much of our time, especially when most of what we worry about never actually happens. This worrying uses up time that could be better spent on the things that truly count, but how can we reduce this and actually free up that time? Oliver Burkeman is a New York Times bestselling author of books such as ‘Four Thousand Weeks: Time Management for Mortals’ and ‘Meditations for Mortals: Four Weeks to Embrace Your Limitations and Make Time for What Counts’. Oliver is also a regular columnist for The Guardian. Oliver shares:
Recognition isn't optional — it's essential.The most powerful leadership tool you have costs nothing, but most leaders were never taught how to use it.Organizations that prioritize recognition save millions in turnover. And it starts with one sentence.Tell someone what they did that made a difference — and why it mattered.⚡️FREE RESOURCE:
