“JJ” Jessica Reeder, a workplace innovation and culture transformation leader, shares insights from her deep experience designing communications systems, scaling multicultural teams and aligning culture with strategy. Bringing pivotal learnings from early fully-remote companies such as Toptal and GitLab, JJ explains how self-management, thorough documentation, and systematized collaboration underpin successful remote work. She describes the cultural shifts required for hybrid and distributed workforces and advocates for systems thinking and clear communication to empower modern work managers.     TAKEAWAYS   [01:24] JJ didn't know what studying linguistics would entail when she chose it but she loved it.   [02:47] Linguistics gives JJ a framework to understand the history of humanity and migration. [03:10] Living in another culture opens up her global perspective and gives her a different lens. [04:24] JJ's appreciation for engineers stems from their clarity and direct information transfer style. [05:49] JJ transitions early to working remotely focused on content and communication projects. [06:35] Noticing the growth of formal distributed work, JJ joins one of the first all remote companies.   [07:14] JJ starts building a distributed community across cultures for a global virtual developer network. [08:15] Nurturing connections among talented remote professionals requires deliberate strategies. [08:56] Remote talent feels more connected when engaged with a peer community. [09:54] JJ moves to GitLab to explore systematized connectivity and is launched into remote work consulting by the pandemic. [13:01] GitLab was designed for remote work with full documentation, tools, and systems. [14:11] Realizations they need to understand other companies' different perspectives. [16:44] Conviction in remote work but recognition that unprepared managers are challenged. [18:30] JJ highlights self-management as a cornerstone of GitLab's decentralized operating model. [19:07] Clear documentation and SOPs reduce managerial load while teaching remote processes. [20:35] Others' embrace of remote work affirms JJ's long-held belief in the global distributed workforce. [22:34] JJ studies industrial organizational psychology and joins Upwork for an applied learning experience.   [23:24] JJ helps Upwork transition from an office-based to remote-first workforce. [24:12] Engagement is often relationship based, differing between employee and freelance contributors. [25:00] Emotional connection isn't always needed; the mission can generate engagement. [26:43] JJ finds that many workers thrive as project contributors without deep social integration. [28:08] More varied distributed operational models are needed, especially for larger companies. [30:36] Distributed work effectiveness requires more than dedicated time for human connection.   [31:25] Clearly documenting and consistently applying standard operating procedures and behaviors is crucial. [32:05] Standardizing—behaviors, tools, expectations—was a major Upwork project JJ worked on. [32:47] Accessible knowledge and intentional transparency are essential and must be intentional. [34:58] The Forest Ranger book gives JJ great insights about distributed operations.   [36:19] The ‘manual' shows how philosophy, behavioral standards, transparency and documentation empower independent workers.   [37:24] To train distributed workers, companies must clarify expectations—behaviors, work, standards. [39:15] Hybrid work requires embracing a digital-first mindset even when working partially in-office. [40:54] IMMEDIATE ACTION TIP: To become digital first, one, understand time—such as core hours, two, communicate digitally—with documented processes, and three, systematize collaboration—designating how and where work is done. [41:57] Communication processes must be modeled by leadership and enforced by managers. [42:26] Systematized collaboration tools create visibility, drive cohesion, and replace physical context.     RESOURCES   “JJ” Jessica Reeder on Linkedin JJ's website The Forest Ranger book       QUOTES   “This decentralization of management. Instead of someone managing your work, there's somebody who is directing your output or directing your outcome. So understanding how to empower people to self-manage their work.”   “Collaboration is really just about trading work back and forth and doing it in a very effective way.”   “To be effective at our work, we need to have a source of motivation. We need to have proof that our work is doing something that we believe in. We do need to have some sort of a mission that we're contributing to, but we don't need to necessarily be deeply emotionally engaged.”    “Having standard operating procedures and behavioral standards is clearly documented and consistently applied throughout the organization is crucial in remote work. It is absolutely a deal breaker if you don't have people understanding how they are supposed to work.”   “One of those things where you have to decide - how transparent of an organization do we want to be. If we don't buy in on transparency, then we're going to have challenges with distributed work.”   “Becoming a digital first organization doesn't block your ability to have a functioning hybrid organization. In fact, it enhances it. It really will make your hybrid organization more powerful. It will help people to get the most out of work, whether they're in the office or not.”   “All of the things that you need to have a highly functioning team can be empowered by really embracing the digital first mentality.”   “Collaboration needs to be systematized. It needs to happen on as few disparate tools as possible.”

In this episode, Hazel reflects on a transformative speakers course led by Robert Upright and Tony Gargan, which inspired her to confront the fears that have held her back from sharing her message on social media. She discusses the importance of getting out of your own way and challenges listeners to consider what might be holding them back in their own lives. Introducing the GROW model, she outlines four key steps: Gratitude, Realizations, Openness, and Wins. KEY TAKEAWAYS Get Out of Your Own Way: The importance of overcoming personal barriers and fears that hold you back from pursuing your goals and sharing your message with a wider audience. GROW Model: A four-step framework to facilitate personal growth: Gratitude: Shift your mindset from fear to gratitude to change your emotional state. Realizations: Gain insights about your journey and recognize how past experiences shape your current path. Open: Embrace openness to allow opportunities to flow into your life. Win: Celebrate small victories that help you progress toward your goals. Fear and Excuses: Acknowledge that fear often leads to excuses that prevent action. Recognizing this can help you take the first step toward change. Social Media as a Tool: View social media as a platform for sharing your message and connecting with others, rather than a source of negativity. BEST MOMENTS"I realized something during that week that had been holding me back." "What if you literally got out of your own way? Because doing something worthwhile takes time, but more importantly, it takes action." "The minute you switch from fear to gratitude, your state changes." "I just had to say these things to people to let them know that what we've done, and it was all possible."

During one particular property mentoring session back in 2009, she had a powerful recognition of exactly how to facilitate this. Nicknamed now, The Wealth Whisperer, she has a unique way of getting to the crux of what is needed to help fulfil this quest.

Justin Boring - Rome Experience Read More......Read Less Initial Reluctance and Divine Provision Initially, there was no desire to go to Italy for missionary work. The trip seemed financially impossible. Victor offered to cover the expenses, which seemed improbable. Unexpected financial opportunities arose. Overtime work became available. Colleagues donated $350 towards the trip. Church donated $500 to each of the five persons going. Despite the provision, a sense of unease lingered. There was a recognition of a potential heart issue. "There's something wrong with my heart already." Observations and Reflections in Italy Victor's deep investment in the lives of the people he served was striking. He knew more about these "strangers" than the speaker knew about their own family. Many had Bible lessons in their homes because of Victor's influence. Bonding with a Muslim man named Oktar. Oktar had experienced hardships. Victor was actively involved in Oktar's life. Constant questioning of personal purpose during the trip. "What is my purpose here? What am I supposed to be doing?" Belief that the trip was divinely orchestrated for a specific reason. The Motorcycle Repair and Divine Intervention Initial desire to fix a broken motorcycle. The speaker enjoys fixing things and saw it as a potential way to contribute. The motorcycle was already being repaired. Oktar needed $350 for the motorcycle repair. Victor initially declined the offer to pay, planning to borrow from a roommate. The speaker insisted on using the donated money. The money was given to Oktar. Oktar's friend was unavailable to lend the money. Oktar was emotional upon receiving the money. The speaker saw this as a clear sign of divine orchestration. "God set this up, the whole thing, me coming here. I have this money, and it was supposed to go to somebody, and it's supposed to go to you to take care of your need." Realizations and Apology The experience highlighted the need for greater attentiveness to divine direction. It's important to "start listening a lot more and also trying to hear what direction he's wanting me to go." Faithfulness and presence are more important than special abilities. During a final group prayer, there was a moment of profound realization. Regret for past lack of investment in God's work and in people. Apology to God and to the group for missed opportunities. "I didn't have a desire to really invest in your work. I didn't have a desire to invest in the people I was in contact with." Recognition that events in life happen at the right time. The trip and its lessons were timely and necessary. Desire to do better in the future. Pastor Tommy Read More......Read Less Giving Glory to God The message focuses on the importance of giving glory to God and the consequences of not taking His warnings seriously. The message is based on Malachi 2:1-2, where God warns the priests about the curse that will come if they do not honor Him. "If you will not hear, if you will not lay it to heart, to give glory unto my name, saith the Lord of hosts, I will even send a curse upon you." The Commission to Glorify God The commission to take the Word of God to the world is for everyone, not just preachers. "He's made us all priests and kings." Everyone has the responsibility to live in a way that others see Christ and that Christ is glorified. Taking God Seriously It is a responsibility to believe God and take His warnings seriously. "We have a responsibility to believe God." The Holy Spirit and the Word of God will draw people closer to God, but individuals must respond. "We need to take this seriously. This is not a game that we're playing." God wants everyone to glorify Him,

This is a three-part podcast series dedicated to understanding how serial killers form, and how we can stop them before they strike again. Hosted by award-winning crime scene investigator Sheryl McCollum, each episode features a guest expert who brings unique expertise into the psychology, behavior, and patterns of serial offenders. Guest Bio and Links: Phil Chalmers is a 40 year American Criminal Profiler, true crime writer, and host of the Dennis Quaid owned podcast “Where The Bodies Are Buried.” His live trainings are legendary in the law enforcement world, as he trains police officers, the FBI, probation officers, school administrators, and many other professionals.

Before his crimes, Presley worked as an actor and performer, appearing in commercials and on television. Now, from prison, he shares his story in an effort to help law enforcement and society understand the psychological trajectory that led to his violence. Resources: Part 1 - The Anatomy of a Serial Killer: Psychology, Profiling, Prevention In this episode of Zone 7, Crime Scene Investigator, Sheryl McCollum and Phil Chalmers talk with Aeman Presley as he recounts his descent into violence; from an aspiring actor with a troubled past to a convicted serial killer. Aeman reveals the psychological battle he’s fought since childhood, marked by fatherlessness, gang affiliation, and undiagnosed mental health issues. He talks openly about his early life in Chicago, his attempts to pursue a professional life in acting, and the psychotic break that led to a series of brutal murders in the Atlanta area. Aeman walks listeners through his inner monologue before the killings, the warped logic he believed justified his actions, and the moment of psychological rupture when the “demon” within took over. This is not a glamorization, it’s a rare firsthand look into the psyche of someone who once viewed murder as both necessity and compulsion.

In this episode, I sit down with my 22-year-old daughter Maggie to talk about something so many of us have experienced—heartbreak. Maggie recently walked through her first serious breakup, and we had an honest, emotional, and surprisingly hopeful conversation about what that process looked like for her.We talk about why Jeffrey and I chose to hold off on dating during our kids' high school years, what Maggie learned as she navigated her first relationship as a young adult, and how deeply painful and disorienting it was when it ended. Maggie shares how she processed the grief (spoiler: video diaries and lots of tears), how God showed up for her in unexpected ways, and what healing has looked like on the other side.If you're a mom walking through something similar with your daughter—or you're someone healing from heartbreak yourself—this conversation is for you. We hope it brings you comfort, encouragement, and maybe even a few laughs. Hearts may not be built to be borrowed, but I believe God meets us right in the middle of the breaking. And He's always making something beautiful, even here.Chapters00:00 | Navigating Breakups: An Introduction03:58 | The Impact of High School Dating Restrictions06:46 | First Love: The Significance of Maggie's Relationship10:00 | Realizations and Challenges in the Relationship12:51 | The Breakup: A Sudden Shift15:54 | Processing Grief and Emotions18:50 | Finding Healing and Moving Forward28:29 | Navigating Heartbreak Together33:11 | The Role of Faith in Healing38:06 | Emotional Growth Through Breakups40:07 | Advice for First-Time Heartbreakers44:40 | Supporting Daughters Through Heartbreak47:02 | Setting Standards in Relationships48:59 | Reflections on Maturity and Growth

Yats shared insights on how a woman's upbringing, particularly her relationship with her father, can influence her ability to receive love and nurture in adulthood.

Welcome to episode 83 of The Way Out Is In: The Zen Art of Living, a podcast series mirroring Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh's deep teachings of Buddhist philosophy: a simple yet profound methodology for dealing with our suffering, and for creating more happiness and joy in our lives. This installment sees Zen Buddhist monk Brother Phap Huu and leadership coach/journalist Jo Confino joined by Zen Buddhist nun Sister True Dedication to discuss the Eight Realizations of Great Beings. This ancient Buddhist sutra provides guidance on overcoming suffering, putting an end to misunderstandings and difficulties, and making progress towards or even attaining enlightenment: “leaving behind the world of birth and death, [and] dwelling forever in peace”.In this, the second of two parts, the three contributors explore the last four realizations, which provide a manual for seeing the world with the wisdom needed to deal with suffering and act with clarity. The realizations covered include the awareness that ignorance is the cause of the endless cycle of birth and death, and how bodhisattvas develop their understanding and skillful means; the awareness that poverty (but not only poverty!) can create hatred and anger, and how to practice generosity equally towards friends and enemies; living simply to ‘practice the way', and the great vow to help all beings and guide them to joy; and more. The discussion emphasizes the importance of grounding Buddhist teachings in real-world realities, cultivating compassion and understanding even for those causing harm, simplifying one’s life, and committing to the bodhisattva path of alleviating the suffering of all beings.

Where there is death, there is life.” “A very deep teaching from Thay and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. about the idea of the beloved community, which, in their few brief meetings, they discussed at length: in the ideal beloved community of Dr. King, your enemies are included. Your enemies are included. The ones currently persecuting you are included. This was an important spiritual faith and practice at the time of the Civil Rights Movement. This is the 1960s, our spiritual love should have that capacity to embrace everyone. And that is a spiritual challenge. It starts closer to home, but it really opens up. And that’s a great vision. I find it really spiritually inspiring and challenging. [it] calls me forward.” “My practice is to see everyone as human beings.” “One of the vows of a bodhisattva, of a great being, is to always shine the light of openness, the light that everyone has inside of them: a seed of love and a seed of compassion.” “There are going to be times when we recognize that, ‘Right now, my heart is not the size of the great ocean. It’s literally a puddle.' If I allow many people to walk around that puddle, it will be stirred up and become very muddy and I can’t be of service. So we have to be able to know our capacity, our limits, and to not feel that this is something to be attained in one day, in one month, in one year, but that it requires a lifetime of cultivation.” “When we are angry, we’re not clear, we’re not compassionate, and we don’t carry out our profession well.” “The past was wrong, we know that. But what can we do now? Starting today, how can we reset this?” “When there’s not enough love around, there’s not enough understanding, everybody feels unsafe; everybody is always on guard. And when we’re on guard, we stop looking at each other as an opportunity for connecting as humanity. It’s just fear.” “One can only overcome anger with kindness. One can only conquer evil with good. One can only win over the miser with generosity. One can only convince the liar with truth.” “True, full, deep Buddhism is grounded in a real awareness of economic realities and economic systems. So, when someone has hatred and anger, there may be many causes and conditions, including poverty. But we don’t blame or punish or condemn people for struggling with that; we bring great compassion and understanding.” “Although you are in the world, try not to be caught up in worldly matters. A monastic, for example, has in their possession only three robes and one bowl. They live simply in order to practice the way. Their precepts keep them free from attachment to worldly things, and they treat everyone equally and with compassion.” “Each day is a chance to contribute good thinking, speech, and action into the world, whether we’re monastic or not.” “The more we consume and the more we think that we can find our happiness in consuming, the more we are destroying the Earth. The more we are climbing over each other for status and fame and power and influence and all these other things, the more, ultimately, we’re creating suffering and exploitation around us. And it's endless. The consequences of human cravings are that the more we lose ourselves in these sense-pleasures, the less we’re really awake to and aware of the actual, very real, tangible suffering that we are perpetuating upon each other and upon the planet.” “Maybe the most important thing we can do in our life is cultivate the energy of mindfulness, compassion, understanding, and harmony in our lives and relationships.” “We’re all living in this crazy world. And how can we live in the world and not be too shaped and imprinted by it, but instead find our freedom within it and really live in line with our values? I want to put out a rallying call: don’t settle for anything less. Life is so short. Life is so precious. How can we make these choices really intentionally? How do we want to live in a way that’s in line with these values, and what radical choices can we make to put what’s most meaningful and important first?” “Simplicity is a keyword for living simply, leanly, and lightly – not living simply, leanly, and lightly, and then taking loads of photos and posting them on social media and being like, ‘Look at my highly curated simple life.' That’s not what we’re talking about. It’s how to simplify what we’re doing, what we need, and what we’re in pursuit of in order to show up fully in the moments of our life; to be able to slow down and live this precious life deeply. And that is already an act of resistance.” “The simple moments of life are enough. And I feel that this word ‘simplicity' is the real takeaway from this realization of how we can bring this quote-unquote monastic awakening into our daily life. And it takes courage because everyone is trying to make it complicated for us, including our loved ones. So it takes real courage to keep it simple.”
