In this episode, Hilmarie sits down with Sergei Kukharev to explore how technology can reduce stress instead of creating it. Drawing on more than 15 years of experience in fintech and payments, Sergei explains why the future of AI isn't about replacing people, but helping business owners make better decisions with greater confidence.The conversation explores the shift that transformed his career, moving from building payment infrastructure to understanding the people behind every transaction. After spending time with small business owners, Sergei realized that merchants don't care about complex technology. They care about saving time, reducing operational stress, and running their businesses more effectively. That insight reshaped how he approaches product development, leading him to prioritize simplicity, empathy, and practical outcomes over flashy features.A defining moment in the episode is Sergei's Green Pill realization that successful products are built by solving human problems, not technical ones. He shares valuable lessons from products that failed, why emotional friction often prevents adoption more than technical limitations, and how involving engineers directly with customers creates better solutions. He also discusses AI's growing role as a trusted assistant that helps small businesses gain clarity without replacing human judgment.At its core, this episode is about empathy, thoughtful innovation, and building technology that genuinely improves people's lives. Sergei's journey is a reminder that the best products aren't the ones with the most features, but the ones that quietly remove complexity so people can focus on what matters most.About The GuestSergei Kukharev is the Chief Product Officer at Fortis, where he leads the development of AI-powered payment and commerce solutions that help small and medium-sized businesses simplify operations and make smarter decisions. With over 15 years of experience in fintech, digital payments, and product leadership, he has built solutions focused on improving merchant experiences across the GCC.Throughout his career, Sergei has championed a human-centered approach to product development, believing that the most successful technology is measured not by its complexity but by the confidence and clarity it gives its users. By combining data, artificial intelligence, and customer empathy, he continues to create practical solutions that help businesses reduce operational stress, improve efficiency, and grow with confidenceQuotes4:17 - Designing for stress reduction means designing for clarity, simplicity, and confidence in daily operations.10:24 - Spend more time absorbing real user behavior and less time building based on someone's assumptions. 12:42 - The most interesting future is not AI creating some noise, but helping small business owners and business owners actually feel more in control.13:26 - AI cannot replace judgment, for example. Yeah, its the human thing, and only we can judge the decisions, what AI, for example, suggesting to us.22:22 - We decided to stay focused on the merchants we could serve better. And I think it was an important to us an important reminder that long-term trust matters more than chasing scale too early.24:25 - Empathy is vital to actually thrive and be successful.Useful LinksWebsite:https://www.wefortis.comInstagram:https://www.instagram.com/fortis.uae/Linkedin:https://www.linkedin.com/in/ser-kukharev/The Matrix Green Pill Podcast: https://thematrixgreenpill.com/Please review us: https://g.page/r/CS8IW35GvlraEAI/review

David McFall joins Andrew Pla to talk about practical PowerShell, mentorship, automation, and why you do not need to be a PowerShell expert to get serious value from it. David shares how he uses PowerShell across Active Directory, Entra, Microsoft 365, Microsoft Graph, and PDQ, including real-world examples like device posture reporting, identifying hardware gaps, and automating project management. They also dig into learning with AI, knowing when a simple script is enough, the importance of testing before production, and why helping the people around you grow can make everyone's job easier. Key Takeaways: · PowerShell does not have to be complicated to be useful. David approaches PowerShell as a working sysadmin who wants to automate repetitive tasks, reuse existing tools, and solve real problems rather than build everything from scratch. · AI can accelerate learning, but it should not replace understanding. David uses AI to better understand PowerShell concepts and Microsoft Graph, while emphasizing the importance of reviewing, testing, and understanding scripts before putting them into production. · Sharing knowledge makes the whole team stronger. David views himself as a mentor rather than simply a manager. Helping junior team members develop their skills gives them more opportunities while also creating a team that can share responsibility instead of relying on one person who knows everything. Guest Bio: David McFall is an IT infrastructure and operations leader with experience across enterprise cloud platforms, cybersecurity, system administration, Microsoft Defender, Azure, incident response, and automation. Based in Metro Detroit, David combines hands-on technical work with a strong focus on mentoring IT professionals and sharing what he has learned throughout his career.

Original Air Date: 08/08/26 Episode Number: 471Episode SummaryDan's son Caleb stopped in to pick up primer and ended up on the radio. He bought his first house -- a 1901-era fixer-upper -- and has spent the past several months dealing with cat smells in a crawl space, a squirrel that chewed through wiring, a dead possum under the floorboards, and the humbling experience of learning to cut in a straight line for the first time. The back half of the conversation covers paint choices, color coverage, the trades versus college, and what it's actually like to be six years into a career as an electrician.Timestamps[00:00] -- Meet Caleb the Guest[01:33] -- First Walkthrough Shock[03:04] -- Cat Smells and the Crawl Space[04:21] -- Enzyme Cleaner Fiasco[07:02] -- Sealing Odor Hotspots[09:26] -- Squirrel in the Ceiling[12:54] -- Dead Possum Discovery[15:22] -- First Time Painting Lessons[19:27] -- Color Choices and Coverage[22:13] -- Choosing the Wall Color[23:06] -- One Coat vs. Two[23:47] -- Ceiling Paint Lessons[25:50] -- Vanity Makeover Plan[27:16] -- DIY Confidence Tips[30:27] -- Trades Talk Break[31:09] -- Back in Studio[31:36] -- Living With Messes[34:05] -- Skipping College[37:24] -- Why Trades Work[40:39] -- Trade Life Humor[42:27] -- Wrap UpThe House [01:33]Built somewhere around 1901 -- "early 1901" on the listing, which Caleb says basically means they don't really know. Good news on move-in day: the electrical had already been updated, which mattered a lot to an electrician who knew exactly what that job would have cost him. The first thing visible when you walked through the door was a dining room painted in the brightest Barbie pink either of them had ever seen. Online listing photos had made it look like a warm sunset. In person it looked like Pepto-Bismol. That was the cosmetic problem. The real problem was the smell.Cat Smells and the Crawl Space [03:04]Three confirmed cats, possibly four, had been using the dirt crawl space as a litter box for three or four years. The crawl space starts at about two feet of clearance and drops to six to eight inches near the outer walls -- full belly-crawl territory. Caleb suited up with a respirator, goggles, a painter's suit, and a child's garden rake with four metal prongs that he says will remain in a place of honor in the basement indefinitely. It goes with him before the fishing poles if there's ever a fire.He went through the crawl space with enzymatic cleaner -- but the first jug he bought was formulated for outdoor use, and it didn't make a dent on the smell. He went back to the store, found a cat-specific enzymatic formula, and ended up buying about eight small spray bottles to fill a pressurized sprayer. That worked. A dehumidifier finished the job on the residual musty smell -- now when you open the basement door, it just smells like a normal old stone basement.On enzymatic cleaners: Use a formula specifically designed for the type of odor you're dealing with. Outdoor or general-purpose formulas may not be strong enough for concentrated pet waste. Cat-specific formulas are made for exactly this situation.On crawl space odors: Garden lime thrown down on a dirt crawl space can help neutralize pH and absorb lingering smells after the source is removed.Sealing Odor Hotspots [07:02]There was a small alcove near the stairs where foam gym flooring had soaked up years of cat urine. Caleb pulled it up and needed to seal the subfloor underneath before putting anything new down.The right product for this kind of situation is a shellac-based primer like BIN -- it seals odors and dries fast. Dan didn't have any shellac on hand, but he did have an old can of oil-based polyurethane that tested out fine, and for a clear coat application it worked well. The key advantage of a clear coat over a pigmented primer in odor situations: pigment can leave microscopic paths for odor to work through. A clear film seals more completely. Caleb put new subfloor down over the top and sealed that too.Squirrel in the Ceiling [09:26]The home inspection had flagged a squirrel living above the breezeway entry. The smell coming out of that space was serious enough that Dan wasn't sure it would ever clear up. Caleb got the squirrel out, sealed the entry point, and eventually pulled down the ceiling to assess the damage -- and found something more significant than anyone expected.The squirrel had chewed through the outer jacket on two sets of wires, exposing bare copper hot, neutral, and ground conductors. There was visible charring around the wiring. The breaker had tripped on one of Dan's early walkthroughs; at the time nobody knew why. The wiring had apparently been in this condition long enough that it's surprising no fire resulted.Caleb rewired the affected circuits and closed everything up properly. Point worth keeping: if animals get into a wall or ceiling space and stay there, wiring damage is a real possibility. It's not just a smell and mess problem. If you know or suspect animals have been living in a structural space, the wiring in that area is worth checking before you close it back up.Dead Possum Under the Floor [12:54]After the squirrel situation was resolved, the entry still smelled. As the weather warmed up, it got worse. Caleb pulled up a damaged section of subfloor near the breezeway door, expecting to find the water damage he'd spotted -- and found a dead, decomposing possum that had apparently gotten in through the same entry point as the squirrel and not gotten back out.He called his best friend, who arrived with a square shovel and leather gloves. The possum got a burial in the backyard. The subfloor was treated with enzymatic cleaner, the entry point sealed, and the floor rebuilt.Dan's contribution to the discovery call: asking whether Caleb was sure it was dead, and suggesting he try touching its eye to confirm. Caleb reported there was no eye. Dan agreed that was probably a reliable indicator.First Time Painting [15:22]Caleb had essentially never painted before -- Dan had handed him a brush with no paint on it as a kid and sent him into another room. This house was his real introduction.The biggest struggle was cutting in at the ceiling line without tape. He and his brother Andrew started by eye on the first room and the difference in their speed was immediate and obvious -- Andrew was moving at several times Caleb's pace, and Caleb's edges were rough. The key things Caleb took away from the experience:A good brush matters more than most people realize going in. People often reach for tiny brushes thinking more control, but a quality full-size brush is easier to work with, not harder. Practice builds speed and confidence faster than expected -- Andrew went from nervous to confident within a month of his first exterior painting summer. And the work itself is harder than it looks when someone skilled does it in front of you.Andrew ended up painting most of the house -- the kitchen, dining room, living room, and upstairs. Caleb handled a fair amount of the cutting in and ceiling work.Color Choices and Coverage [19:27]Caleb's fiancée Melanie handled all the interior color selections, which Caleb describes as a great decision. Dan had expected conservative colors based on Caleb's personality and was surprised to get a list of deep, saturated choices -- a near-teal green, dark forest tones, rich colors throughout. His instinct was that deep colors would require multiple coats to cover the lighter existing walls.They used RepcoLite Optima, and the coverage surprised Dan enough that he brought it up on air. Deep colors don't naturally hide better just because they have more pigment -- the colorant system and the base paint matter. Optima's combination of formula and colorant system delivered coverage close to what you'd hope for after one coat, and two coats finished the job cleanly.The favorite room is the living room, painted in Yorktown Green -- a deep blue-green Benjamin Moore color that reads almost like a rich teal. They had originally planned a different color and switched at the last minute. It turned out to be everyone's favorite.One Coat vs. Two [23:06]Even when one coat coverage looks surprisingly good -- and in this case it did -- two coats is always the right call. The second coat evens out color uniformity, improves sheen consistency, eliminates lap marks and differences between brushed and rolled areas, and builds the film thickness the paint was designed to have. Durability depends on having enough coating on the surface.Ceiling Paint Lesson [23:47]Caleb chose a creamy, slightly warm off-white for the ceilings rather than straight white. Dan went with bright white on his own ceiling at home and regrets it -- it reads as plasticky and a little harsh compared to a softer white. The warmer ceiling tone makes the rooms feel finished rather than clinical. Dan says he's living with it but won't make that choice again.Painting angled ceilings with a hip roof is harder than flat ceilings. The angles create back strain and make it difficult to track where you've been. On flat ceilings, working in a consistent grid pattern and watching for the shine of wet paint to see where you've covered is the practical method.Vanity Project and Ebonizing [25:50]Caleb is in the store today to pick up primer for a bathroom vanity he's painting. He had tried ebonizing the wood first -- a technique where you soak steel wool in vinegar for

When Alex Campbell set out to teach sociology through true crime, he wasn't trying to catch a murderer. He was trying to make the stakes real. Nine years later, his high school students in Appalachia have restored names to victims of the "redheaded murders," helped families, and become the subject of a limited series with a perfect critic score. But as Alex tells it, the thing that mattered most was never on the syllabus: how much his students came to care. In this conversation, Alex and Tricia dig into what it actually takes to hand young people a real problem — and why that's the whole point. In this episode: Why sociology and murder aren't apples and oranges — and how high stakes bring out the best in students The surprise Alex didn't plan for: students connecting with victims who died decades before they were born Schools as "the institution best at separating people" — and how project-based learning breaks down the walls His three-part test for a real project: passion-driven, community-focused, interdisciplinary Practical, permission-giving advice for teachers who find this exciting and scary — start small, start with a partner, use the resources that already exist "You don't work for me": how buy-in reframes classroom management and reaches the students who've stopped believing in school's promises Civics you can feel — freedom-of-information requests, and why John Benet Ramsey has a thousand websites and Lori Pennell had almost none The creative gamble behind the series: victim-forward, not offender-forward, and a true-crime story that doesn't end tied up in a bow Portraying Appalachia and teenagers with authenticity instead of stereotype Using the series for professional development — what to watch for, and why it might matter more than you'd expect Building a house, powerlifting, and teaching yourself: Alex on learning as a lifelong series of real problems to solve   Watch: Murder 101 is streaming now.

What does cognitive science actually tell us about how adults learn at work — and why are most corporate learning programs still built on myths?  In this episode of the Balancing Act podcast, Andy speaks with Dr. Tessa Forshaw — cognitive scientist, co-founder of the Next Level Lab at Harvard University, and co-author of Innovation-ish: How Anyone Can Create Breakthrough Solutions to Real Problems in the Real World (Wiley, 2025).  Tessa and Andy explore why learning takes effort (and why frictionless tools often don't teach), what “innovation hesitation” is and how leaders can disarm it, why the apprenticeship model still matters, and what's coming out of Harvard's new Workforce Learning and Innovation Initiative.  Tune in to episode 244 to hear Tessa's story and learn how to design learning that actually changes the brain — and how to lower the bar to innovation so your team can actually take the first step.  Dr. Forshaw is offering a discount for our listeners to Harvard Graduate School of Education's The Future of Workforce Learning and Innovation Certificate Program.

What separates a good idea from a scalable business? In this episode of So Ambitious, Black Ambition Prize founders D'Angelo Senat (AllPeep), Barbara Jacques (JACQ'S Skincare), and LaToya Stirrup (Kamzaleje) break down how they turned real-life problems into high-impact, fundable companies rooted in community, culture, and purpose. From building products that didn't exist for them to navigating access, capital, and the realities of entrepreneurship, these founders share what it actually takes to scale a business beyond the idea stage. This conversation goes deeper than startup advice. They also share how they go beyond the pitch stage and how founders are building companies that create lasting impact. It's about ownership, representation, and building solutions that serve real people. As host Felecia highlights: “What you build after the opportunity is what really defines you.” If you're a founder, entrepreneur, or innovator looking to secure funding, grow your business, and create meaningful impact, this episode is your blueprint. KEY POINTS - The best businesses don't start with ideas; they start with real problems - Lived experience is often the strongest foundation for scalable innovation - What you sell is surface, what you solve is what actually drives growth - Building for your community creates a deeper impact and stronger demand - Access to rooms, networks, and decision-makers is still a major barrier - Entrepreneurship requires sacrifice, resilience, and long-term vision - Winning funding is just the beginning; execution is what sustains growth - The most powerful businesses create both economic and cultural impact QUOTABLES  “This isn't a startup story. This is a growth story.” – D'Angelo Senat “There are still doors… where major conversations are happening that I would just love to be in.” – Barbara Jacques “We're not just building products. We're building something that didn't exist for us.” – LaToya Stirrup “If it doesn't solve a real problem, it's not going to last.”  – D'Angelo Senat “You have to keep going, even when it doesn't look like it's working yet.” – LaToya Stirrup RESOURCES Barbara Jacques IG | https://www.instagram.com/shopjacqs/  LaToya Stirrup | https://www.latoyastirrup.com/about-me  Kazmaleje IG | https://www.instagram.com/kazmaleje/  D'Angelo Senat IG | https://www.instagram.com/senatmade/  AllPeep IG | https://www.instagram.com/allpeephq/  Felecia Hatcher | https://www.feleciahatcher.com/  IG | https://www.instagram.com/feleciahatcher/  Black Ambition | https://www.blackambitionprize.com/  IG | https://www.instagram.com/blackambitionprize/  So Ambitious is produced by EPYC Media | https://www.epyc.co/

What if the biggest risk in your career isn't leaving corporate, but staying? In this episode of Wickedly Smart Women, host Anjel B. Hartwell welcomes Heather Moore, Founder and CEO of Pet Centric Health. Heather takes us behind the scenes of what it really looks like to transition from corporate stability into entrepreneurship, including the mindset shifts, challenges, and unexpected growth that come with building a company from the ground up. This episode is a must-listen for high-achieving women who feel the pull toward something more and are ready to explore what's next in leadership, impact, and value creation.   What You Will Learn: How to recognize the internal and external signs that it's time to leave corporate. What mindset shifts are required to take the leap into entrepreneurship. How to evaluate risk in a way that empowers action instead of fear. What it really takes to build a startup from idea to execution. How to navigate the early stages of business with limited resources. What challenges founders face when scaling a business beyond startup phase. How to build a subscription-based business model that creates consistent value. What it means to stay nimble and evolve with market demand. How to balance confidence and vulnerability as a leader. What it takes to build a mission-driven company that serves multiple stakeholders.   FAQ: How do you know when it's time to leave your corporate job? You know it's time when you feel a strong pull toward solving a problem you can no longer ignore, combined with a sense that your current role no longer challenges or fulfills you. Often, a pivotal life event or internal shift clarifies that staying is the greater risk.   What are the biggest challenges when starting a business after corporate? The biggest challenges include navigating uncertainty, managing limited resources, making high-stakes decisions without a safety net, and shifting from structured environments to building systems from scratch.   What is a subscription-based business model and why does it work? A subscription-based model provides recurring revenue by offering ongoing value to customers. It works because it creates consistency, improves customer retention, and allows businesses to build long-term relationships. Connect with Heather MoorePetCentric Health Connect with Anjel B.

If value comes from solving problems… why do buyers struggle to explain the problems they actually have? In Episode 4 of the Buyer Decision Series, Mark Stiving and Rebecca Kalogeris explore why buyers often jump straight to solutions instead of clearly articulating their problems. But the real value conversation doesn't start with features or products — it starts with understanding the problem behind the purchase. Discover why the sellers who understand a buyer's problems best are the ones buyers trust most… and why that trust increases the confidence needed to say yes.   Why you have to check out today's podcast: Understand why value only exists when a real problem is being solved—and why no problem means no value. Learn why buyers often jump to solutions and features instead of articulating their real problems. See why the best sales conversations focus less on products and more on diagnosing the buyer's situation.   Catch Up on the #BuyerDecisionSeries: Episode 1: Buying Is a Prediction of the Future  Episode 2: Buyers Buy Futures, Not Features  Episode 3: What Buyers Actually Pay For   "If there's no problem, there's no value." — Mark Stiving   Topics Covered: 00:00 – The Question Most Buyers Never Stop to Ask.  Mark opens with a simple but powerful question: what problem are we actually trying to solve? The starting point behind value — and why most buyers skip it. 02:00 – The Rule That Explains Why Value Only Exists When Problems Exist. Mark introduces the second half of the Second Law of Value: value is the result of solving problems. If there's no meaningful problem, there's no reason to pay. 02:28 – The "Drill Aisle" Mistake Buyers Make. Why buyers walk into a store asking for a drill instead of understanding what they actually need — and how jumping straight to solutions leads to bad decisions. 05:12 – Why Feature-Focused Buyers Often Choose the Wrong Solution. From cars to CRM systems, buyers instinctively compare features instead of identifying the deeper problems they're trying to solve. 08:09 – The Question That Instantly Builds Buyer Trust. Why great sellers ask deeper questions about context and behavior — revealing problems the buyer hasn't fully articulated. 09:55 – The Confidence Equation Behind Every Buying Decision. Mark revisits the confidence framework — payoff, probability, and anticipated regret — and explains why understanding problems increases the probability a buyer believes your solution will work. 11:04 – The "Doctor Test" for Great Selling. Rebecca compares great sellers to doctors: when someone clearly diagnoses your problem, you immediately trust their solution. 12:48 – The Next Puzzle: Turning Problems Into Measurable Value. Mark previews the next episode: how companies can help buyers quantify value once the real problems are understood.   Key Takeaways: "Buyers typically are horrible at articulating their own problems."  — Mark Stiving "Nobody cares about your product. What they care about are the problems you can solve and the results they'll achieve."  — Mark Stiving "The better a salesperson is at understanding your problems, the more likely you are to believe that solution solves your problem."  — Mark Stiving "When someone can articulate your problem with nuance and detail, suddenly you believe they can solve it." — Mark Stiving "Confidence changes when someone demonstrates they truly understand your situation." — Rebecca Kalogeris   People / Concepts Mentioned: Theodore Levitt. Referenced for the famous insight: "People don't want a quarter-inch drill. They want a quarter-inch hole." Jobs to Be Done.

Pastor Chris continues our teaching series entitled “1st Corinthians: Practical Answers to Real Problems.” In this seventh study of the series, “Judge & Jury,” we study in 1st Corinthians 6:1-8 as the Apostle Paul addresses the lawsuits that exist between those participating in the congregation in Corinth. Paul speaks plainly about how to consider approaching a dispute and maintaining our witness of Jesus in the midst of the justice systems of this world.

Most companies don't realize that  bad UX shows up in support ticket patterns before it shows up in their metrics.As more organizations lean into greater automation, a poorly designed UX results in slowdowns and user frustration, as support teams scramble to respond to a surge in support tickets.If you are in charge of enterprise systems or evaluating new IT installations, then this is the podcast for you.Today we are joined by the brilliant Tanya Donska.  Tanya  works with companies like Deutsche Telekom, IQVIA, and D.E. Shaw Group - fixing UX problems at enterprise scale where one bad flow impacts thousands of users and support costs alone can justify a redesign. She's a UK Global Talent visa recipient and Creative Director at DNSK WORK. In this episode of A Seat at The Table, Tanya will be discussing:The hidden cost of UX debt at enterprise scale - when "just fix it later" costs 6 months of engineering timeHow to make design decisions with 17 stakeholders without everything becoming beige (or taking 9 months)Why design systems fail at 90% of companies (and it's not lack of documentation)Wow, there's so much to unpack here.  So let's sit down with Tanya and find out what UX Band-Aids might be hiding at our organizations.---Connect with Tanya Donska:  Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/donska/Website: https://dnsk.work/Visit A Seat at The Table's website at https://seat.fm

Ever heard a variable speed pump scream for a minute on a cold morning and wondered if the motor is toast? We dig into the real-world signs that separate normal quirks from costly failures, sharing field-tested ways to read noises, clouding, and pressure spikes without overreacting or replacing parts you don't need.We start with cold-start pump behavior and why grease viscosity makes a VS motor squeal briefly in chilly weather, then move to the mess that follows a season's first rain. You'll learn why that initial storm dumps more dirt and organics, how dilution erodes free chlorine, and the fastest way to recover with targeted shock, brushing, and filter management as PSI climbs. From there, we unpack the “DE sneeze” that can puff powder back through returns after a filter clean, what's normal for quad DE designs, and how to protect sensitive hardware like pressure-side cleaners, salt cells, and in-floor systems by checking screens and flow paths.Air in the pump lid gets its own spotlight. We explain the small bubble you might see at low RPM, how to test system tightness at full speed with the air relief open, and where suction-side leaks actually hide—lid O-rings, unions, valve stems, threaded fittings, and bleeder assemblies. You'll get practical fixes to stop drain-back, improve priming, and extend motor life. Finally, we cover chemical odor safety. Acid and chlorine carry expected smells, but a wet trichlor bucket or feeder can create a dangerous gas mix. We outline safe opening steps, storage tips to keep tablets dry, and simple habits that protect your lungs and your route.• Cold-start pump squeal that fades in minutes in low temperatures• Cloudy water and debris spikes after first seasonal rain• Shock levels to recover diluted chlorine and haze• DE and cartridge “hiccup” on startup and how to manage it• Protecting pressure-side cleaners and in-floor systems from blowback• Air in pump lids at low RPM versus real suction leaks• Diagnosing drain-back and hard-to-prime systems• Chemical odor basics and triSend us a textSupport the Pool Guy Podcast Show Sponsors!

How do you fix what's not working without losing trust in the process? On this episode of The Radical Candor Podcast, Kim and Amy talk with beloved Harvard Business professor Frances Frei and her wife, CEO and bestselling author Anne Morriss, about why speed and care aren't opposites — and how the right sequence of actions can help you go faster and strengthen relationships along the way. Anne and Frances break down the five-day framework behind their book Move Fast and Fix Things, share real stories from coaching leaders and teams, and explain why so many of us misdiagnose the problems we're trying to solve. They also walk through their “trust triangle” — authenticity, logic, and empathy — and reveal how understanding your own “wobbles” can help you communicate more clearly, lead with confidence, and create momentum without leaving people behind.

What if creativity isn't a gift possessed by a few—but a skill every leader already has? In this episode of Partnering Leadership, Mahan Tavakoli sits down with Tessa Forshaw and Rich Braden, co-authors of Innovation-ish: How Anyone Can Create Breakthrough Solutions to Real Problems in the Real World. Drawing from their work at Stanford and Harvard, they share how innovation is less about genius and more about discipline, collaboration, and the willingness to see differently.Forshaw and Braden dismantle the myth of the lone genius, showing how the best ideas rarely come from one person's brilliance but from diverse teams willing to challenge each other's assumptions. They unpack the concept of “cognitive caution”—that natural human tendency to play it safe—and explain how leaders can create the psychological conditions that make creativity thrive.The conversation explores why traditional brainstorming often fails, why “innovation theater” gives the illusion of progress without impact, and what leaders can do to make innovation an everyday practice rather than a one-off event. From developing the muscles of divergent and convergent thinking to understanding how fear, hierarchy, and bias stifle creative problem-solving, this dialogue offers a roadmap for embedding innovation deeply into leadership and culture.Braden and Forshaw also discuss the responsibility that comes with innovation—how thoughtful leaders must consider both the intended and unintended consequences of new ideas. And in a world reshaped by AI, they offer a refreshing reminder: technology can amplify human creativity, but it cannot replace the curiosity, humility, and judgment at the heart of real leadership.This episode is a must-listen for CEOs and senior leaders who want to foster innovation that's not performative, but practical—and who see creativity not as a department, but as a leadership imperative.Actionable TakeawaysYou'll learn why everyone—not just “creative types”—is capable of breakthrough thinking, and how leaders can help teams rediscover that confidence.Hear how to replace “innovation theater” with daily practices that embed creativity into decision-making and culture.Discover the concept of cognitive caution—and how to reduce the fear and hesitation that quietly shut down new ideas in organizations.Explore the difference between divergent, convergent, and executive thinking—and how each contributes to effective innovation.Find out why the myth of the lone genius hurts innovation, and what truly collaborative creativity looks like inside high-performing teams.Learn how to ask better questions—the kind that expand perspective, reveal blind spots, and lead to better solutions.Hear why humility may be a leader's most powerful innovation skill, enabling curiosity and openness across the organization.Understand why short-term performance pressures often block creative problem-solving—and what leaders can do to make space for exploration.Connect with Tessa Forshaw and Rich BradenInnovationish Website Innovationish Substack Tessa Forshaw LinkedIn Rich Braden LinkedIn Connect with Mahan Tavakoli: Mahan Tavakoli Website Mahan Tavakoli on LinkedIn Partnering Leadership Website
