There is a chilling pattern of how governments have systematically dehumanized, displaced, and exterminated entire groups of people throughout history using bureaucratic steps.Drawing from real atrocities such as the Holocaust, the Khmer Rouge regime, the Rwandan genocide, and the Armenian genocide, as well as injustices in U.S. history like the internment of Japanese Americans and the treatment of Native and African Americans, I trace a common structure of how oppression builds: with labels, propaganda, silence, and “legal” processes. Societal fear and political power can normalize cruelty. So here's your reminder of the responsibility to notice, speak out, and act before it's too late. Recognize familiar patterns and refuse to let history repeat itself.Get in touch on HorrorStory.com

Today's episode features an interview with Darin Hartwig from Planet and DFW Aquarium, a company specializing in aquatic distribution and manufacturing that began in 1993. Hartwig discusses their unique Pro Matrix PVC bottom for larger tanks, which offers durability and flexibility, as an alternative to traditional glass or acrylic. The conversation also explores the evolution and challenges of the aquarium industry, particularly the shift from brick-and-mortar stores to online sales, emphasizing the need for independent stores to focus on installation and ongoing service to remain competitive. Hartwig also shares his personal history in the aquarium hobby and the growth of his business, detailing how he acquired pieces of other companies and now runs a large-scale manufacturing operation, with current trends showing a rise in demand for smaller, all-in-one tanks. Key Takeaways listeners: Do not project your own assumptions or financial limitations onto others; instead, understand their true desires and potential. In a competitive environment, adapt your approach by offering valuable services that provide recurring income and differentiate you. Embrace a proactive "hustle" mentality to continuously seek out new opportunities and leverage modern tools like social media for growth. Recognize when a fundamental mindset shift is necessary for progress and understand that such significant change requires time and sustained effort. Prioritize your personal health and well-being through consistent self-care, even when managing a demanding work schedule.

It's 2 a.m. The on-call resident's voice is shaky. The CT shows an 18cm abdominal aortic aneurysm with a Type 1B endoleak. There's gas in the sac, fluid in the belly, and the patient has a defibrillator on both sides of his chest. Is it a rupture? A graft infection? An aortoenteric fistula? All of the above? You're the vascular surgeon, what do you do? This episode dives deep into decision-making when EVAR fails, when infection strikes, and when the patient might not survive a definitive repair. Let's talk about what happens when clinical textbooks meet real-world chaos.

When frustration keeps showing up—in your business, your relationships, or just inside your own head—it might be time to look inward. In this episode, I share the mindset shifts that helped me stop blaming and start growing. This episode is a little humbling. I've been reflecting on some hard truths lately and realizing that many of the frustrations I experience point back to one thing: me. We often look outward for the source of tension, but what if the shift needs to happen inside us? Let's talk through five powerful mindset shifts that can help you let go of blame, reclaim your power, and soften into growth. Action Plan: 1 - Let go of being right: Opposing truths can exist; soften your stance and seek connection. 2 - Recognize other realities: Everyone sees the world through their own lens—don't take it personally. 3 - Lead with love: Even when triggered, choose softness over control. 4 - Build self-awareness: Notice your default reactions so you can change them intentionally. 5 - Choose responsibility over blame: You have the power to shift your energy and your experience.

Tales from the Prepper Pantry Tried a new method for preserving Swiss chard Second wave of cucumbers is coming in this week Ate a frog: cleared out the storage shed (creating more space for power pantry storage instead of just piles of stuff) Time to double down on drying herbs for tea and cooking Operation Independence Really excited about the upcoming canning class Hosted a Hipcamper this weekend — boom! $25 earned Main Topic of the Show: Victim or Victor First let's look at what a victim is - or rather signs that you are acting like a victim and therefore bringing more negative upon yourself: Overusing the term "I can't" Explaining to friends all the things that went wrong or worked against you EVERY time you get together. Obsessing on what other people think about you, say about you, did to you - or are doing to you to undermine you Telling yourself you'll never get X because Y happened - over and over - this is a message that will come true when you say it - you are the story you tell yourself Focus on the causes of your current troubles rather than the things that can solve problems. And what does the victor look like? Takes rabid responsibility for their part in their own troubles (John Bush on self reflection, Buying things with a credit card to satisfy the instant gratification monkey, Friend with a violent husband removing herself from access, etc.) Controls their reaction to bad things to make the best of it - but not in a fake toxic positivity way. (Macchu Picchu) Focuses on what they CAN control (this one hurts for a reforming political junkie) Sees obstacles as challenges rather than insurmountable roadblocks Gains self worth internally, not from the feedback of others (and therefore cares not what people say about them or if people are trying to undermine them) A victor will ask - how can I? A victim will say I can't. That is the biggest difference between the two. So how do you become a victor when you are stuck as a victim? Recognize where you are - that is the first step to owning your future Shift your mindset from being helpless to proactive, rabid responsibility Know what you cannot control, and embrace that you can control your reaction to it Kill the negative thoughts and paranoia and ask yourself - How can i? Forgive - forgive yourself, forgive those around you - but it is ok to NOT forget6. Set boundaries to keep yourself building your future rather than getting stuck in past, unhealthy cycles. That choice — to build forward instead of staying broken — is what changes everything. Make it a great week. GUYS!

1st Annual Global Neurodivergent Leaders Summit 2025 This event spotlighted the brilliance of leaders who were once labeled as “disabled” simply because they think differently. These trailblazers—CEOs, Global speakers, Executive coaches, and Industry Titans from Banking, Real Estate, and the Global Sales and Marketing —have leveraged their ADHD, dyslexia, OCD, and other forms of neurodivergence as superpowers that set them apart. Let's celebrate and elevate those who are changing the world—not in spite of how they think, but because of it. Raymond Kemp Title: Navigating with a Different Compass (Leading with ADHD in a Neurotypical World) Summary: Leadership isn't reserved for those who think in straight lines. It's about clarity, self-command, and the courage to lead from exactly where you are. I want every leader in the room—whether neurodivergent or not—to walk away knowing that different doesn't mean deficient. When you understand your wiring and Own the Helm, your unique perspective becomes a competitive advantage, not a compromise. Kathy Marcino Title: Coaching Through Conflict: Learn Strategies for Identifying Conflict Types, Successfully Navigating Workplace Conflict, and Turning It into Positive Growth. Summary: “Disagreement holds the potential for deeper understanding.” When conflict is managed effectively, it can drive innovation and enhance team performance. In this session, Kathy Marcino walks leaders through a structured path for transforming disagreements into shared goals and solutions. Drawing from her extensive coaching experience, she equips participants with a framework to recognize early warning signs, stay grounded in difficult conversations, and co-create lasting resolutions that strengthen team dynamics and performance. Dan Dominguez Title: Embrace Your Neurodivergent Edge: How Self-Awareness Fuels Resilient Leadership Summary: When I first entered the military, I thought I had to be just like everyone else—follow the rules, fit in, and never let my differences show. But in the heat of tough missions, something clicked: the way my mind worked—my neurodivergent wiring—wasn't a liability. It was my edge. Later, in the world of sales, I saw the same truth again: those traits I once hid—my intense focus, my out-of-the-box thinking, my deep desire to help others—were exactly what helped me forge real connections and close deals. It took self-awareness to stop fighting those parts of myself and start using them as strengths. In this talk, I share that journey, along with a simple framework—Recognize, Accept, Celebrate—to help others stop hiding and start embracing their own neurodivergent edge. My story is a reminder: your greatest leadership potential lies not in fitting in, but in owning and celebrating who you really are. Paul McCarthy Title: Drowning out the voices we need to hear. Why F.I.R.E.D. leaders are your 'hidden gems' Summary: Two Options:Talk Summary 1 To survive disruption, organizations need leaders who possess disruptive leadership capabilities. So they hire them and then they fire them. Publicly, organizations say they want leaders to be innovative thinkers who challenge the status quo. Privately, conventional leadership culture wants nothing of the sort. Leaders with disruptive leadership capabilities often embody the very leadership qualities that organizations so desperately need to navigate disruption and adapt to the “new normal” of constant change, yet these leaders are being marginalized, ostracized, and even exorcised from today's organizations. We will need a different kind of leader for the future and our organizations are unprepared for how to identify, recruit, onboard, and develop this kind of leader. Join us for a radical, refreshing talk with Paul McCarthy, as openly talks about the untalkable, questions the unquestionable, and reframes perceptions about the leadership we desperately need for our times. Paul will share insights from his own experiences as a leader with disruptive leadership capabilities, as well as from his global research and first best-selling book into how individual leaders can be identified, cultivated, and embraced for being disruptive. He will also help us to understand how we can identify disruptive leadership capacity and capability. Talk Summary 2 Paul takes audiences on an exploratory journey to imagine a future where leaders who are currently perceived as 'not fitting in' or as 'bad culture fits' are the ones that organizations will increasingly need to thrive in a constantly changing environment. Yet these leaders are being marginalized, ostracized, and even exorcised from today's organizations. Using his own personal experiences, as well as research, case studies and outputs of interviews, Paul introduces the F.I.R.E.D. Leadership Framework and shows organizations why we need to embrace leaders who think differently. By helping reframe how organizations perceive their 'agitators', Paul shows how to cut through the noise to equip those organizations with the approach needed to create the next generation of leaders our world so desperately needs to successfully navigate ongoing disruption, continue to innovate and deliver transformative outcomes. Dr. Regeline “Gigi” Sabbat Title: “You Can Lead” ( Regardless if you are Neurodivergent you can lead. - Dr. Gigi Sabbat) Summary: Absolutely — being neurodivergent does not limit your ability to lead. In fact, many neurodivergent individuals bring exceptional strengths to leadership, such as: • Unique perspectives and creativity • High levels of focus and dedication • Empathy and emotional intelligence • Innovative problem-solving • Resilience and adaptability Leadership isn't about fitting a mold — it's about authenticity, vision, and the courage to empower others. Whether you're neurodivergent or not, your lived experiences can shape you into a powerful, impactful leader. Manny Piñiero Title: “Wired Differently - Neurodivergent Leadership and the Power of Intentional Time" Summary: Wired differently, I thrive in navigating complexity, identifying patterns others may overlook, and creating meaningful systems that honor both people and outcomes. My connection to time is not just about efficiency, it's about intentionality. I believe in making time count by aligning actions with purpose, fostering environments that empower teams to do the work that truly matters, while leading with clarity, empathy, and a deep respect for the diverse ways people think, work, and thrive. Holly White Title: Radical is Relative: Trusting Your Instincts Before the World Catches Up Summary: Some of the most powerful insights come from minds that don't follow conventional paths. In this talk, I explore how ADHD-related cognition—nonlinear, spontaneous, and deeply intuitive—often leads to ideas that feel radical to others but entirely natural to the thinker. We'll examine why these ideas meet resistance, how traits like discomfort with uncertainty affect their reception, and what it means to trust your instincts in a world that hasn't caught up yet. Whether you're the one generating paradigm-shifting ideas or the one receiving them, “trust the process” becomes more than a mantra—it's a model for creative courage, leadership, and cognitive integrity. Rosie Ward Title: Ditch the Head Trash! Upgrade Your Faulty Programming So You Can Maximize Your Impact Summary: Being human is messy. We are hardwired to be on high alert for threats, activating our biological hardwired instincts to self-protect and cling tightly to what is familiar. Yet our world demands that we are able to lean into discomfort and disruption. This creates a gap that keeps us stuck more than we realize. This session will normalize our shared human experience for why we get in our own way as a result of our 7 Faulty Programs and give you tangible tools to upgrade your own faulty programming so you can embrace your own sparkle and maximize your shine and impact around you. David Citron Title: Unleash Your ADHD Superpower in 4 Minutes a Day Summary: In this talk, David Citron, founder of Expressocoaching.com which serves ADHDers who lead organisations in 31 countries worldwide shares the 3 keys to unleashing your ADHD Superpower as a neurodivergent leader. This powerful methodology which has a 4.8* Trustpilot rating from thrilled leaders around the world can change the next 30 years of your life. Expresso has been used by everyone from small business owners to large corporations like Microsoft in order to bring out the very best from the talented neurodivergents in their senior leadership team. Kick back and listen to the story of how the Expresso ADHD revolution began with one client called Joe who had a peculiarly, frustrating challenge. Kent Cravens Title: Expect Authenticity?......Be Authentic Yourself. Tips on building a culture based on Authenticity And Trust Summary Many of us spend more waking hours with our work teams than we get to spend with our families. Authenticity And Trust are essential elements to creating a work environment that leads to sustained satisfaction and longevity in your team. Here are some tips to make sure you're moving in the right direction.
Pastor Ray Bentley on Harmony in the home. If within your own home, there is conflict and there is battles, and there is tension, and there is just pressure, and it's like a war that's going on. Recognize this is spiritual in nature. There is a spiritual battle taking place. You as a believer have to claim that territory for the Lord Jesus Christ.

CLICK HEREWho we areBlock Club Chicago is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit news organization dedicated to delivering reliable, relevant and nonpartisan coverage of Chicago's diverse neighborhoods. We believe all neighborhoods deserve to be covered in a meaningful way.We amplify positive stories, cover development and local school council meetings and serve as watchdogs in neighborhoods often ostracized by traditional news media.Ground-level coverageOur neighborhood-based reporters don't parachute in once to cover a story. They are in the neighborhoods they cover every day building relationships over time with neighbors. We believe this ground-level approach not only builds community but leads to a more accurate portrayal of a neighborhood.Stories that matter to you — every daySince our launch five years ago, we've published more than 25,000 stories from the neighborhoods, covered hundreds of community meetings and send daily and neighborhood newsletters to more than 130,000 Chicagoans. We've built this loyalty by proving to folks we are not only covering their neighborhoods, we are a part of them. Some of us have internalized the national media's narrative of a broken Chicago. We aim to change that by celebrating our neighborhoods and chronicling the resilience of the people who fight every day to make Chicago a better place for all.

How to Have Peace Without Running Away: Your Daily Escape from ChaosHave you ever just wanted to pack up and run away? To jump in the car and never look back? We've all felt that urge, especially when life gets overwhelming. We might take a vacation, hoping it'll fix everything, only to find the stress creeps back the moment we return. Many of us are stressed not because we've chosen too much, but because we never set anything down. It's like holding a 15-lb dumbbell for an entire day versus curling a 30-lb one—the constant strain is exhausting!In this episode, Thriving Man's very own Reese Maxwell will teach you the art of taking a "vacation every day" and how to start creating blank space in your life right now. We're passionate about empowering you to conquer your everyday chaos and build a thriving life!The Lost Art of DisengagingWe've lost the crucial art of disengaging. Our minds are filled with constant mental background noise, and we often numb out with our phones or simply want to quit. But disengaging isn't about giving up; it's the art of letting go—a mini, mental vacation. We get so consumed by chores, projects, and obligations that we never truly observe our lives; we just survive them.Imagine a professor who lectures non-stop versus one who allows time to process the content. That's the power of blank space in your mind and life. Don't wait until the holidays to experience a moment of disengagement. Rest mentally by being fully present, not wishing you were anywhere else. We often regret not slowing down or taking more time—let's change that!How to Take a Mini Vacation & Create Blank Space1. Start Small: Creating blank space in your life doesn't happen by accident. Begin with small, intentional steps. Try going to the bathroom without your phone, or decide to leave your phone behind for an activity to be truly present. Schedule dedicated "chill time" on your calendar. Set a timer and allow yourself to simply let go for that period. It's like getting reps in at the gym; the more you practice, the easier it becomes. The goal isn't perfect meditation, but rather to let your brain simply "brain" in these moments. Blank space provides crucial mental and time margin, just like leaving enough distance between cars on the road. It helps your brain process and prepare for what's next.2. Pick Some Classics: These aren't necessarily about formal meditation, but about letting go and enjoying satisfying activities or connection time. There are timeless activities that humans have always benefited from, and you can incorporate them as blank space in your life:Walking/Hiking: Get out into nature and clear your head.Chilling with your family: Unplug and connect with loved ones.Dinner party with friends: Enjoy good company and conversation.Slow Hobbies (Play): Ever wonder why people love Dungeons & Dragons or painting miniatures? It's about the joy of play and creating something.Your ChallengeDisengaging is a skill, and it takes practice to master the art of letting go. But the effort is absolutely worth it—it will change you for the better. We challenge you to:Take the no-phone bathroom challenge!Take one mental vacation a day! Start with 15 minutes, 30, or even an hour if you can.Recognize and appreciate it if you're already doing it! It's good to acknowledge when you're giving yourself a much-needed break.Are you ready to start finding peace without running...

Send Rachel a text message.Be mindful of your self-talk, it's a conversation with the Universe. —David James LeesThis podcast episode focuses on negative self-talk, exploring how destructive internal dialogues are learned, not inherent. Rachel provides a four-step process to transform negative self-talk:1. Awareness without judgment: Notice the critical inner voice without self-criticism2. Identify the source: Recognize that negative thoughts often come from external influences, not your true self3. Call in the Highest Self: Connect with your inner wisdom and eternal consciousness4. Rewrite the script: Replace negative thoughts with compassionate, validating statementsThe episode emphasizes that the inner critic is not bad, but scared, and should be met with curiosity and compassion. Rachel uses the Cherokee tale of two wolves to illustrate how we choose which internal voice to "feed"—the one of fear or the one of love.Key MessageYou are not your negative thoughts.

Ever tell yourself that life will finally settle down after this next hurdle? For a brief moment, it seems to—and then life smacks you with the unexpected. Job loss, a new love, divorce papers, your teenager's puberty, a health scare, a new life. Good or bad, it's always change. We crave the constant, but the only thing constant is change. In this introductory episode of ATYPICAL Podcast with Amie Archibald-Varley, Amie and her guest dismantle the pervasive myth of linear progression of life and offer a liberating alternative. What if we just embrace the unexpected? How can we do it? Life being "straight, narrow and pristine" is the biggest illusion of them all.

Drawing on insights from psychology, philosophy, and the raw, honest stories of those who have dared to deviate, this episode will help you: Recognize the "linearity lie" and its impact on your mental and emotional well-being. Embrace the power of pivots, detours, and "failures" as essential parts of your unique journey.

Whether you're feeling stuck in a rut, questioning your path, or simply seeking a more authentic way to live, this conversation will provide you with the validation and tools to trade the illusion of control for the reality of a life fully lived.

EP 219: Stop Performing, Start Living - Let Go of the Good Girl Script and Embrace Your Main Character Energy
How can we reciprocate since the world keeps us alive on the one hand, and on the other hand, all these things, birds and you name it, right? Fish and moose and beaver, these are things we love. So, if this is the world we love, we're going to have feelings about how we might want to do positive things to keep this world we love as nurtured as possible. And we also hopefully want to ask, how do we keep our own ability to be alive and thrive here as humans?Sarah Peebles is a Toronto-based installation artist, composer and music improvisor. Much of her work explores digitally manipulated found sound and unconventional methods of amplification. She has also collaborated with artists, technicians and bee biologists on a series of projects addressing pollination ecology and biodiversity, entitled ‘Resonating Bodies' since 2008. I loved her ideas on reciprocity, which, indirectly, is what this podcast tries to do by sharing the work of ecological artists like Sarah and their vision of a world where we can peacefully cohabitate with the more-than-human world. Show notes generated by Whisper Transcribe AIAction pointsObserve the natural world closely to understand its intricate feedback loops.Support native bee populations by considering land management practices and avoiding harmful pesticides.Explore art as a medium for understanding and engaging with ecological issues.Question conventional agricultural practices and advocate for sustainable alternatives.Recognize the impact of individual choices on the broader ecosystem and strive for reciprocity.Story PreviewImagine stepping into a world where the secret lives of native, wild bees are amplified, revealing a symphony of tiny movements and vital connections.

I'm helping to provide places in which they can forage and nest which we can visually and sonically access.It's a little bit easier to just allow people to have a sense of wonder and go from there.Behind the StorySarah Peebles' journey exploring art and biodiversity began with a concern: despite years of recording natural sounds, she saw no real change in environmental awareness. This led her to collaborate with wild bee biologist Professor Lawrence Packer, sparking a passion for native bees and a desire to make biodiversity tangible through art. Her ‘Deluxe Log' and other "Resonating Bodies" installations are a testament to this dedication, offering a unique window into the hidden world of these essential pollinators and the habitat that supports them. *END NOTES FOR ALL EPISODESHey conscient listeners, I've been producing the conscient podcast as a learning and unlearning journey since May 2020 on un-ceded Anishinaabe Algonquin territory (Ottawa).

Your Light Matters More Than You Know: May Patterson paints a vivid picture of the firefly—tiny, unaware, yet radiant. It doesn't overthink or second-guess. It just shines. And that’s exactly what we’re called to do as believers. You don’t have to be flashy or famous. You don’t even need to feel impactful. You just need to let the light of Christ overflow in your everyday life—through kindness, faithfulness, sacrifice, and praise. When you do, you’re fulfilling a God-given purpose that makes this dark world just a little brighter.
What is a Healthy Christian? (Ephesians 1:15-23) - Pastor Brett Barton
There are a lot of people that don't have the kind of talent that you do, Claude, or for that matter, I do and they have voices, but you can't hear them. So our job in the art world, I would say, is to amplify those voices in a way that's comprehensive and understandable by the folks who should be paying attention to what's going on around them and not talking at people. So my complaint these days at the art world is we're just talking at people, we're not listening to them. And if we did listen to them, you'll find that the world is actually quite a hopeful place. And then, in many respects, what Trump 2.0 is doing – is what Hazel Henderson was suggesting - is the soft path to change is collapse. He's exacerbating a situation that we've been hanging onto for perhaps far too long in even in the art world.Don Hill is a sound designer, immersive & multimedia artist, science journalist, broadcaster & public speaker.

In this powerful final installment of our Wine Culture Awareness Series, I'm pulling back the curtain on how alcohol has subtly infiltrated our lives, disguised as self-care and freedom. This episode is for anyone who's questioning their relationship with drinking - whether you're still consuming alcohol or already alcohol-free. Key Insights: You are not broken - you've been conditioned to cope with challenges in unhealthy ways Alcohol often becomes a mechanism to numb emotional pain, trauma, and stress Cultural messaging has normalized drinking as a solution to life's difficulties Biblical Perspective: I dive deep into scriptures that remind us God is always present, even when we feel most distant. Key verses include: "The Lord is close to the brokenhearted" (Psalms) "You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart" (Jeremiah) Challenging Your Beliefs: I encourage listeners to: Investigate the origin of their drinking habits Question beliefs like "wine relaxes me" or "I'm more fun when drinking" Recognize that alcohol often creates numbness, not genuine relaxation Personal Reflection Questions: What would you be doing if you didn't believe these lies about drinking?

If “course management” were a hole on a golf course, it'd be the longest and most hazard-plagued, trap-filled hole you'd ever play — and you'd need two course junkies to advise you along the way. Luckily, we have the just the right ones in lifelong course executives David Delsandro and Jeff Corcoran. Delsandro's career in the turf industry has spanned 25 years, most recently as the superintendent at Oakmont Country Club in Pennsylvania. His experiences include all types of conventional golf course construction projects, as well as large-scale site development, earth moving, utility relocation/installation, and building construction. He has worked with several leading golf architectural firms, including Fazio Design, Coore & Crenshaw, and Hanse Golf Design. Delsandro has successfully prepared for, hosted, and restored venues for four national championships, including two U.S. Opens. Corcoran has been a golf course superintendent for more than 20 years. He landed his first head superintendent job at The Weston Golf Club, outside of Boston, and he has been the director of agronomy at Oak Hill Country Club in Rochester, New York, since 2003. During his tenure at Oak Hill, he hosted two PGA Championships and two Senior PGA Championships. In 2019, Corcoran worked in conjunction with architect Andrew Green to renovate Oak Hill's East Course. Corcoran has been responsible for placing 10 assistant superintendents into superintendent roles. They partnered last year to form Agronomic Advisors, a consulting company focused on providing a diverse, comprehensive suite of solutions to the golf course industry. In this episode, Delsandro and Corcoran look back fondly on the golf course as their babysitter, share the lessons they learned as leaders at premier venues, and advise today's superintendents on leadership approaches in a changing industry. Your Club Selection Changes with Age, so Should Your Leadership Approach Most of us need to adjust our club selection as we age in order to hit the ball as far as we once did. The clubs we grabbed as teens, such as the self-described junkies Delsandro and Corcoran once were, won't make the cut after we make the turn in the game of life. Neither will the same approach to managing a department in a golf club nor leading a large capital project. Know when and how to adapt. “When you're younger, and you're trying to prove yourself at this particular level, as a superintendent, your bandwidth for people that fall outside of those realms that you that you live in is pretty narrow,” Corcoran said. “I remember telling guys, ‘You don't want to work till 7 o'clock tonight on Friday? You're not dedicated enough. You've only worked 21 days in a row and you want a day off? You're not dedicated enough.' “That sounds awful now.” Recognize that it takes all kinds of individuals to build a team and have a culture of success. Labor Market Management The labor market in the industry has changed significantly in recent years, and that's not just a problem for superintendents at local community golf venues. Leaders at the premier clubs face the same challenges, particularly when weighed against the facts that member expectations are not changing, nor are members willing to pay more for a stagnant experience. Talk about shifting winds on the dogleg. “The light-bulb moment for me was… I can either expect the labor market to change to meet the needs of one corporation or the upper echelon of one industry, or duh, realistically, we have to change to meet the labor market,” Delsandro said. Get as many outside perspectives, including those from outside the golf industry, as possible, and see what makes sense to apply as you manage a team at your course. Enjoy this episode of Leadership on the Links with David Delsandro and Jeff Corcoran! Quotes “The golf course was like my babysitter for the most part. My parents had to work. They just dropped me off, went to work, and they'd pick me up when it got dark out.” —Jeff Corcoran “I started working at the local public golf course when I was 15 just to get free golf. I thought I was going to work in the pro shop. I showed up on my first day with pressed khakis and a Sears, three-button Polo shirt, but at 9 a.m. I had some 60-year-old guy holding my ankles hanging over an irrigation ditch, covered in mud.” —David Delsandro “The labor market is such that there aren't as many individuals that are as motivated as there [used to be], if I'm being very open and honest about that.” —Jeff Corcoran “You soon learn that you don't know everything, and you need some help. You need people to see some stuff outside of the box and bring in consultants or industry professionals.” —Jeff Corcoran “There comes a point — and we've all been there, whether it's your first intendent's job or a new superintendent job at a different venue — that there's the realization that happens when you're like, ‘OK, I'm the guy now. Every decision that I make has consequences.' And it's more that you're not trying to succeed, you're just trying not to fail.” —David Delsandro “We've found that helping a new superintendent or a superintendent at a new venue has been some of the most rewarding work that we've done, because we're able to serve the person who we used to be; to help them succeed by avoiding mistakes that we made.” —David Delsandro Links mentioned in this episode: Bloom Golf Partners: https://bloomgolfpartners.com/ Agronomic Advisors: https://agro-advisors.com/ Connect with David on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/david-delsandro-5071692a6/ Connect with Jeff on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jeff-corcoran-5681092a6/ Follow Agronomic Advisors on X: https://x.com/agro_advisors23

Cynthia Tobias was on my bucket list since before I started this podcast because of the work she's done teaching about the strong-willed child. Her book, You Can't Make Me: But I Can Be Persuaded, was a key influence in helping me raise my strong-willed daughter, Elise. Before I knew how to handle her stubborn temperament, I would frequently end up frustrated and in a puddle of tears. But once I learned some of the tools and tips Cynthia shares, it became easier for me to understand how to get Elise to cooperate more (hint: it doesn't involve getting angry or raising your voice). In this episode Cynthia shares, Three Quick Ways to Recognize and deal with Your Strong-Willed Child, Teen or Adult, as well as the magic word you can use that almost always works to get a strong-willed person to cooperate and where you can find immediate free resources like The Strong-Willed Child Emergency Kit. I know you'll be so encouraged with Cynthia's solid advice on helping guide your strong-willed child. As she states in this episode," It's a compliment that God gave us to have a strong-willed child... When they're born, they don't have any idea how to use it. It's up to us to help guide it, shape it, and form it and let God use it." You're going to want to thank Cynthia after hearing this episode. Go to CarolRoper.org/Podcast for show notes
