A feminist romp through pop culture that illuminates how women influence and shape the economy. Taylor Swift isn't just a pop megastar. She is a working woman whose astounding accomplishments defy patriarchal norms.

Heggeness digs into the data, revealing women's hidden contributions and aspirations—the unexamined value they create by pursuing their own ambitions. She highlights the abundance of productive activity in their daily lives and acknowledges the barriers they still face.

In this episode of The Future of Work® Podcast, we sit down with Sophie Wade, a renowned workforce innovator, author of Empathy Works, and founder of Flexcel Network, whose courses on future‑of‑work skills have reached over 650,000 professionals worldwide. Sophie brings a deeply human‑centered lens to major workplace changes — from AI integration to upskilling strategies and generational dynamics. Together we explore why companies must design work thoughtfully, invest in people alongside technology, build trust between executives and teams, and prioritize empathy to navigate the ongoing future‑of‑work transitions. If you're curious how AI will truly impact jobs, why generational viewpoints matter now more than ever, and what leaders must do to meaningfully prepare for tomorrow's workforce realities, this episode delivers pragmatic insight with a visionary perspective.

    In this episode, I sit down with Ruchi Pinniger , Founder and CEO of Watch Her Prosper®, to talk about the real path to financial empowerment for women in business.     Ruchi shares her journey from Wall Street to becoming a financial translator + healer, helping women rewrite the stories that say they're "not good with numbers."    Ruchi brings nearly 20 years of experience in the Wall Street and corporate world to the Watch Her Prosper® team and was recently named one of the "Women Leading the Finance Industry."    Together we explore how prosperity is more than income; it's well-being, spirituality, and relationships, plus practical tools that make money feel safer to hold. You'll walk away with grounded steps, a mindset shift, and the reminder that you get to start fresh … today.    Ruchi and I explore:     - How the tired story that women "aren't good with money" is still circulating   - Why this spell must be lifted, women (like all humans) are absolutely capable with money   - Why mindset, beliefs, and conditioning need to shift before money strategies can truly stick   - Redefining prosperity as feeling abundant, not just earning more   - The three pillars of prosperity: well-being, spirituality, and healthy relationships   - Know your numbers: get support, AND still look, learn, and lead your finances    Subscribe so you never miss an episode and leave a review—it helps so much.    Your emotions and beliefs shape your financial reality.

In this episode of Tales from The Lane, Kate explores a question she's been asked repeatedly—especially in uncertain, chaotic times: Is it selfish to focus on your own growth when the world feels like it's on fire? Drawing on psychology, leadership, and her lived experience as both a conductor and a coach, Kate reframes self-actualization not as ego or individualism, but as responsibility. When individuals commit to becoming their best selves, they create stronger, more generous, and more resilient communities. In this episode, you'll hear: Why self-actualization was never meant to be about narcissism or personal gain How pursuing your own growth can directly strengthen your workplace, neighborhood, or industry Three practical ways individual excellence fuels collective thriving A powerful orchestra metaphor that reframes leadership, contribution, and responsibility If you've ever felt torn between personal ambition and caring deeply about the world around you, this episode offers a grounding, hopeful perspective—and a clear path forward. Mentioned in this episode: The concept of self-actualization (Abraham Maslow) Kate's Quarterly Retreat Planning Guide If this conversation resonated, share it with someone who's navigating their own next chapter. And if you'd like Kate's hugely popular (and free!) Quarterly Retreat Planning Guide, send her a DM on Instagram with the word RETREAT (@kkayaian).

Apply for the Japan Leadership Experience here:https://kbjanderson.com/japantrip/What if the reason leading your organization's transformation feels heavy isn't the work itself—but the role you've been playing as a change leader?If you're a change leader, continuous improvement professional, or internal consultant, this tension may feel familiar. You're helping. You're busy. You're delivering results. And before you realize it, you're wearing every hat—facilitator, teacher, problem-solver, checker—all at once.That was my experience too as an internal change leader. And it's a pattern I see again and again in my work with internal change leaders and continuous improvement practitioners: when we're not clear on our role, we become the doers of transformation—when our real work is to enable others to lead it.In this episode of Chain of Learning, I'm joined by Jill Forrester, Director of Continuous Improvement at 3sHealth, to explore the leadership shift that changed how she and her team show up—and the impact they're having—by moving from helping to intentionally creating the conditions for learning and ownership.If you've ever felt the weight of carrying organizational transformation on your shoulders, this conversation will help you see why—and how redefining your role and how you help can change everything.You'll LearnWhy internal change leaders often become the default doers—and why that role isn't sustainableHow lack of role clarity creates confusion, overburden, and dependency for leaders and their internal clientsWhat it really means to create the experience for learning, not just drive improvement outcomesWhy clarifying and labeling your role and intention changes how others engageHow shifting from doing to enabling builds capability, ownership, and sustainable transformationABOUT MY GUEST:Jill Forrester has been a leader in health system transformation since 2012. She has collaboratively guided the development of a comprehensive management system at 3sHealth, encompassing patient and customer engagement, problem-solving and process redesign, strategic visioning and deployment, performance measurement, leadership coaching and development, and employee engagement.

Stability isn't something you earn once you're “big enough” or “finally staffed up.” It's something you design on purpose—or you pay for it later in burnout, panic fundraising, and house-of-cards vibes.In this episode, Brooke Richie-Babbage is back to flip the script on what capacity really means. Capacity is about changing the conditions under which your work happens, so the how of the work gets easier, less fragile + way more sustainable.We're talking broken mugs, creaky floors, cash cliffs, “build years” vs. “growth years,” and why “stability is a leadership choice” might be the most freeing (and challenging) mindset shift you make in 2026. If you've ever thought, “We'll feel stable when we finally _______,” this episode's your loving interruption.You'll walk away with clarity + next steps to build real capacity, including how to:Redefine capacity + stability as design problems, not personal failures → Shift from “I just need the right people / next grant / better tool” to “Where is our organization fragile, and how do we strengthen the container—systems, rhythms, decision-making—so the work doesn't require heroics?”Narrow priorities + clean up decision-making so everything stops bottlenecking at the leader → Get practical about choosing fewer, deeper priorities; naming what you're not doing this year; and mapping who actually owns which decisions—so your ED (or you) isn't secretly holding six out of ten critical calls.Build stability through simple financial + operational rhythms (not just more hires) → Learn how to read your own “financial weather patterns,” plan for cash cliffs before they hit, decouple capacity from FTEs, and tap tools, fractional support, your board + community as legitimate capacity—not just “nice to haves.”Episode Highlights:Dive Deeper: Episode 614: https://www.weareforgood.com/episode/614Episode 464: https://www.weareforgood.com/episode/463Thank you to our partners

Elissa shares her story of being diagnosed with Hodgkin's lymphoma at 32 and the doctor who changed her life by asking a question no one else had. That moment sparked a mindset shift that became the foundation of her healing.She opens up about choosing a different path than fear-based treatment protocols, navigating cancer without chemotherapy, and realizing how chronic stress and emotional suppression had impacted her health long before her diagnosis. Elissa also reflects on the grief of later losing her husband to cancer, becoming a single mother, and how those experiences ultimately led her toward purpose-driven work. Together, they explore how nervous system regulation, emotional honesty, and self-belief support healing. They discuss why so many women live in a constant state of fight-or-flight and how perfectionism and people-pleasing can manifest physically in the body. Elissa shares her holistic approach to wellness, including food as nourishment, functional medicine, and peptides, and explains why true healing must address the mind, body, and spirit.Follow Elissa GoodmanWebsite: https://elissagoodman.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/elissagoodmanFollow usInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/thewellnessprocesspodTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thewellnessprocessYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheWellnessProcessSponsors:Use coupon code TWP to save 15% at boncharge.comStop putting off those doctors appointments and go to zocdoc.com/TWP to find and instantly book a doctor you love today.Redefine your standard of health.

The Pleasure Zone with Milica Jelenic - Diamond Host In this episode, we invite you to redefine how you relate to pleasure in your body, your relationships, and your life. When you redefine old stories, pleasure becomes a lived experience rather than a goal to chase. This conversation helps you redefine expectations so pleasure feels personal, expansive, and sustainable. So many people believe pleasure is something earned, rushed, or reserved for special moments. In reality, it is a vital compass that informs our boundaries, desires, creativity, and capacity for connection. This episode gently challenges performance-based thinking and explores how pleasure can be grounded in safety, presence, and self-trust. Whether you are feeling disconnected, curious, or ready for deeper fulfillment, these insights offer practical ways to shift from pressure to permission. You'll be guided through embodied reflections, mindset shifts, and everyday practices that help you reconnect with what feels nourishing—physically, emotionally, and relationally. Rather than chasing external validation, this conversation emphasizes listening inward, honoring your nervous system, and expanding your definition of what is allowed to feel good. Each point is designed to be approachable, integrative, and supportive of real-life application. 10 Ways To Redefine Pleasure: *Move from performance to presence *Listen to your body's yes and no *Expand beyond goal-oriented experiences *Create safety before sensation *Honor rest as a source of fulfillment *Slow down your internal pace *Release shame-driven narratives *Explore curiosity instead of expectation *Build connection with yourself first (Integrate pleasure into daily living) Join Milica Jelenic, Sex & Intimacy Coach, Holistic Health Practitioner on this episode of The Pleasure Zone as we explore "10 Ways To Redefine Pleasure".

In this insightful episode of The C-Suite Mentor Podcast, Theresa Cantley sits down with Anthony Engler, founder of Alpha Advisory and former Goldman Sachs executive, for a powerful conversation about radical resilience, wealth creation, identity, and intentional leadership.   Anthony shares his journey from corporate finance to entrepreneurship, revealing how early beliefs about money, success, and validation shaped his career — and how those beliefs eventually evolved. Together, Theresa and Anthony unpack why traditional wealth management often fails entrepreneurs, the real difference between income and wealth, and why clarity around how you want to feel is essential to building a meaningful life and business.   This episode goes far beyond tactics. It explores how storytelling builds trust in a world driven by AI, why many leaders hide behind titles and credentials, and how business owners can design companies that align with their values while creating long-term impact.   If you're a CEO, founder, or entrepreneur navigating growth, burnout, or the next chapter of leadership, this episode will challenge your thinking and give you a new framework for success — financially and personally.    Timestamps (1:12:00) 00:00 – 03:20 Welcome to The C-Suite Mentor Podcast & setting the stage for radical resilience   03:21 – 10:30 Facing adversity, public speaking nerves, and using vulnerability as strength   10:31 – 17:40 Why your story is your greatest differentiator and builds trust   17:41 – 25:30 Anthony's early beliefs about money and how they shaped his career   25:31 – 33:20 Lessons from corporate life, external validation, and chasing titles   33:21 – 41:10 Why wealth doesn't equal happiness — and what money really amplifies   41:11 – 48:30 Lifestyle business vs legacy business: the car vs airplane analogy   48:31 – 56:20 The financial industry's blind spots when working with entrepreneurs   56:21 – 1:03:30 Designing wealth with intention, alignment, and long-term vision   1:03:31 – 1:09:40 What truly creates fulfillment, impact, and sustainable success   1:09:41 – 1:12:00 Final reflections, resources, and how to connect with Anthony    Key Takeaways Your story is not a liability — it's your most powerful leadership asset   Money provides options, but it does not guarantee fulfillment   Titles and external validation often mask deeper misalignment   Entrepreneurs create real impact — but traditional wealth management misses this   Income and wealth are not the same thing, and they're taxed very differently   A legacy business must be designed intentionally from the start   Alignment between values, vision, and strategy creates sustainable success   True wealth supports the life you want — not the other way around    Listener Prompt / CTA As you listen to this episode, ask yourself:   Am I building my business based on who I truly am — or on what I think success is supposed to look like?   If this conversation challenged your thinking, take a moment to reflect on your long-term vision, the legacy you want to leave, and how aligned your current strategy really is.    Be sure to check the show notes for Anthony Engler's assessment and resources, and don't forget to subscribe, leave a review, and share this episode with a fellow business owner who's ready to step into their next level of leadership.

Kate Eckman breaks down why so many high-achieving people feel disconnected despite doing everything "right." She explains how self-abandonment begins early in life as a way to earn love, safety, and approval—and how people-pleasing, perfectionism, and overachievement are survival responses, not strengths. Drawing from her own healing journey, Kate reveals why emotional invalidation teaches us to doubt our instincts, silence our truth, and perform instead of feel. She shares why choosing yourself often feels lonely, how solitude exposes what distraction hides, and why telling the truth—kindly and clearly—is the foundation of real self-love. This isn't about motivation or positive thinking; it's about stopping self-betrayal, releasing old identities, and coming home to yourself.

Your team thinks they’re selling braces. They’re wrong. What patients actually buy is certainty. Certainty about cost, timing, next steps, and whether they’re making the right call for their kid or themselves. When you don’t create that certainty fast, you get the same complaints every practice has: they ghosted us, bad lead, they said they needed to think about it, they price-shopped, they no-showed. Here’s what hurts: your leads aren’t bad. Your process leaks certainty. Fix that, and your team won’t need to push harder. They’ll just need to get clear, confident, and better at leading conversations. The kind of leadership that feels like service instead of sales. Get your copy of the Practice Paradox and the Personality Assessment: https://ion.agency/practice-paradox-book The Core Truth — People Don’t Buy Orthodontics. They Buy Certainty. Whether someone is choosing braces, clear aligners, or even deodorant, the psychology stays the same: people move when they feel safe taking the next step. That’s why calls fall apart even when your team says all the right things. If the prospect feels confused, guarded, uneasy, or overwhelmed, you can keep talking. You’ve already lost. Not because they hate you. Because their brain is protecting them from a decision that feels risky. So the question becomes: How do you manufacture certainty, fast, without sounding salesy? Let’s break it into five levers: mindset, voice, speed, follow-up, and simplification. Redefine “Sales” So Your Team Stops Sabotaging It A lot of practices hate the word “sales.” They picture a used-car lot: fake smile, pressure, manipulation, take the money and run. That’s exactly why they struggle. Here’s the reframe: sales isn’t taking. Sales is giving. If your team believes sales is something you do to people, they’ll avoid it, rush it, or apologize for it. If they believe sales is something you do for people (clarifying, guiding, simplifying), they show up differently. Two guardrails matter: integrity and a true desire to help paired with belief that the service will positively impact the patient’s life. Violate those, and you’re back in the version of sales everyone hates. Hold those two guardrails, and closing isn’t predatory. It’s service. Why this matters to certainty: Certainty doesn’t come from convincing. It comes from leadership. People relax when they feel guided by someone who knows what they’re doing and genuinely has their interests in mind. If your team doesn’t buy that idea, every tactic in this article turns into a script. Scripts don’t create certainty. Free Growth Session Certainty Starts With How You Sound — Tone and Tempo Beat Perfect Wording The fastest way to kill a call isn’t the wrong sentence. It’s the wrong cadence. Two things matter most: tonality and tempo. Tone and tempo communicate what words can’t: calm confidence, leadership, empathy, impatience, uncertainty, awkwardness. The Real Phone Skill Is Emotional Control When your scheduler or treatment coordinator sounds rushed, unsure, or overly chirpy, the prospect doesn’t feel guided. They feel processed. And if the prospect doesn’t feel guided, they don’t feel safe. Use Anchoring Questions to Uncover What Creates Certainty for This Person Three questions shift the call from “schedule this” to “understand why this matters.” “How long have you been thinking about straightening your teeth or bringing Johnny in?” This tells you whether they’re a “yesterday” person or a “two years” person. Very different energy, very different barriers. “Why did you feel like now was a good time to address this?” This reveals the trigger: pain, bullying, a dentist referral, a life event, a deadline, a job, a wedding. The trigger is often where certainty lives. “Why did you decide to come see us?” This exposes perceived differentiation or lack of it. It also surfaces competitive context without you sounding defensive. These questions aren’t cute. They build certainty because they make the prospect feel understood. And they give your team leverage to connect the consult to what the person actually cares about. If You Sense Uncertainty, Address It Immediately If someone sounds uneasy, uncertain, confused, or guarded, you can’t just continue your flow and hope it resolves itself. You need to pivot and handle that emotion right now. Or you won’t have their attention for the rest of the call, and you’ll often earn a no-show. Use something playful as a pattern interrupt (something they don’t expect) to regain attention. The point isn’t the exact line. The point is: certainty requires attention, and attention disappears when emotion turns skeptical. The Underrated Skill — Being Comfortable With Silence Most teams panic during silence and start filling space with nervous checking: “Hello?” “Did you get that?” “Can you hear me?” Don’t do that. Embrace the silence. The person just answered an unexpected call. You don’t know what they’re doing. If you can sit through a few seconds, you keep authority and flow. Why this matters to certainty: When you talk like a leader (steady, calm, unhurried), you lend your certainty to the other person. When you sound nervous, you amplify theirs. Speed Is Strategy: Desire Decays Faster Than You Think If you’re treating online leads like they’re 2012 leads, you’re getting cooked. Amazon has trained consumers. If something doesn’t have the two-day delivery vibe, what do people start thinking? “Do I really need this?” “Maybe I’ll find something similar I can get tomorrow.” That same consumer expectation bleeds into choosing an orthodontist. If you don’t respond fast, if it’s hard to schedule, if it takes forever to get clarity, people don’t wait patiently. They move on or talk themselves out of it. The Five-Minute Rule Isn’t Aggressive. It’s Reality. Studies show that if you don’t follow up within five minutes, there’s a 400 percent decrease in ever getting in touch. Calling back within 60 seconds can boost conversions by 391 percent. Whether you obsess over exact numbers or not, the operational takeaway is undeniable: your speed determines whether you’re still top of mind. Here’s what should sting a little: five minutes should be your worst day. Because in a digital world, five minutes can feel like an hour. Nobody submits a form and then sits there doing nothing, waiting for your office to call. They go right back to scrolling, eating dinner, getting pulled into life. And when you finally call, you’re no longer “the answer.” You’re “some unknown number.” Certainty Collapses When You’re Not Top of Mind When your callback is slow, you trigger confusion: “Who is this?” “Where are you calling from?” “Why are you calling me?” That confusion isn’t neutral. Confusion is uncertainty. Uncertainty is delay. Delay becomes ghosting. If you want more conversions, stop treating speed like an operational detail. Speed is part of your sales system. “Bad Leads” Are Often Just Cold Opportunities, and Your Follow-Up Must Match Human Behavior Most practices overuse the term “bad lead” as emotional protection. It feels better to say “they were a bad lead” than “we didn’t create enough certainty fast enough.” Here’s the reframe: a bad lead is someone you truly can’t serve. Someone without teeth, no pulse, extreme mismatch. Everything else? That’s not a bad lead. That’s an opportunity that either isn’t ready yet, lost excitement, didn’t feel safe, or didn’t get enough follow-up to stay warm. It’s not always that the leads are bad. It’s that the opportunities have gone cold. The Simplest Reason Follow-Up Fails — Nobody Answers Unknown Numbers (Including You) Most of us do not pick up calls from numbers we don’t know. So why is your team shocked when prospects don’t answer? This is why you need a specific cadence: call, voicemail, text, email, repeat. That multi-touch pattern creates recognition: “Oh right, I did request that.” It builds association. And it reduces the emotional friction of picking up. Micro-Impressions Before the Consult Decide Whether They Show Up This might be the most overlooked certainty killer in orthodontics: the little irritations that happen before the patient ever meets the doctor. Being put on hold for minutes (feels like forever). The office not answering. Getting disconnected and not being asked for a callback number. Having to call back and re-enter the queue. These micro-impressions create a subtle story in the patient’s mind: “This is going to be a pain.” That story produces uncertainty. Bottom line: If your front-end experience feels clunky, you can’t treatment-coordinate your way out of it in the consult. Free Growth Session Create Certainty in the Consult by Simplifying the Process and the Money Conversation If you want more same-day starts, stop turning the consult into a college lecture. Here’s a real-world example of a practice that aggressively simplified the consult process: 30 minutes total per new patient exam, records done fast (an eight-minute window), doctor in the room for one to two minutes, treatment coordinator does most of the explanation and fee conversation, they deliberately trained and timed the team to move faster, and fee presentation is simple and consistent. The insight isn’t “everyone must do 30-minute exams.” The insight is: complexity creates hesitation. When the doctor spends 20 minutes explaining the science of orthodontics, the patient walks out thinking, “Wow, this is a big deal. I need to go home and digest this.” In other words: you made it feel heavy, risky, and uncertain. Simplification doesn’t mean low quality. It means low friction. Fees — Answer the Real Question Without Overwhelming Them The patient’s number one question at the consult is: “How much is it?” When offices avoid this, they don’t create certainty. They create suspense. And suspense is not your friend in a high-consideration purchase. One practice’s approach: Lead with one simple plan ($300 down and a monthly that stays under $200). Don’t lead with four options. Options create overwhelm. If they ask about pay-in-full, then you introduce that. If $300 today is a barrier, step it down: $150 today and draft the other $150 in one to two weeks. This strategy isn’t about discounting. It’s about making the decision feel manageable. On the Phone — If You Won’t Quote Fees, You Still Must Remove Financing Fear When people hear “payment plans” and “financing,” they often assume interest, credit checks, banks, and paying more over time. So if your team says, “We have great payment plans,” that’s not certainty. That’s vague reassurance. And vague reassurance reads like sales fluff. Instead, proactively clarify: zero percent interest, no credit checks, in-house financing, no banks involved. That removes uncertainty. And when uncertainty drops, people move forward. Stop Trying to Differentiate With Tech Patients Don’t Understand Some practices try to win by talking about technology (CBCT, bonding techniques, fancy bracket systems) as the primary differentiator. The general public has low dental IQ. Most people don’t know what those things are, and they aren’t buying them up front. What are disruptors winning on? Speed, convenience, little resistance, affordability, and a cool brand. You can wow them clinically once they’re in and committed. But at the decision point, patients buy what reduces friction and uncertainty. Practical Takeaways — A Certainty-First Playbook You Can Implement Now You don’t need a new script. You need a new operating system. Here’s a practical checklist, organized by where certainty is won or lost. Phone: Create Certainty in the First 60 Seconds Train the two T’s: tonality and tempo. Start coaching cadence, not just words. Add the three anchoring questions: How long have you been thinking about it? Why now? Why us? The moment you hear uncertainty, pivot and address it. Don’t keep going like nothing happened. Get comfortable with silence. Nervous filler kills authority. Scheduling —Stop the Endless Loop With Wide Net Statements Replace open-ended scheduling chaos with two-option narrowing. “Specific date or day or first available?” “Morning or afternoon?” “1 p.m. or 3 p.m.?” This approach prevents the call from dragging and keeps you leading. Speed — Protect Momentum Like It’s Revenue (Because It Is) Treat five minutes as unacceptable in normal conditions. Aim to call back before they exit the browser whenever possible. Build operational systems that make fast response normal, not heroic. Follow-Up — Assume They Won’t Answer and Build Recognition Anyway Use the cadence: call, voicemail, text, email, repeat. Stop labeling unresponsive people as “bad.” Most are just cold. Clean up micro-impressions: reduce holds, avoid disconnects without callback capture, and tighten the front desk experience. Consult — Simplify Until Decisions Feel Easy Reduce information overload. Don’t make treatment feel like a complicated life event. Standardize a simple fee presentation. Lead with one clear path. Introduce alternatives only if asked. Remove financing uncertainty with clear language (zero percent interest, in-house, no banks, no credit checks). If You Fix Certainty, You Fix Conversion Your practice isn’t competing only on clinical outcomes anymore. You’re competing on how fast you respond, how easy it is to schedule, how confident your team sounds, how predictable your process feels, and whether the patient understands the money without anxiety. People don’t buy braces. They buy certainty. If you want more starts without feeling salesy, stop trying to close harder. Start building a system that makes the next step feel obvious, safe, and simple. That’s what your market is actually demanding now. Free Growth Session The post Patients Keep Saying No?

If "body weight management" was once a private struggle, 2025 has made it a public dialogue. A social shift among young Chinese are quietly happening: the majority of GenZers still want to manage their weight, but motivations have evolved—from the gaze of others to self-discipline and health. Exercise dominates, social media provides accountability, and AI even lends emotional companionship. It's no longer about fitness, it's now about the psychology of modern youth. What does it mean when losing weight becomes a metaphor for regaining control in an unpredictable world? On the show: Niu Honglin, Steve & Yangyang

He presents five central insights: the end of projects as isolated islands, which will operate as parts of a continuous value stream; the radical fragmentation of teams, marked by high fluidity between people, partners, and AI agents; the silent transfer of authority, with decisions distributed among boards, algorithms, and teams; the emergence of cognitive risk, caused by flawed mental models and excessive reliance on automated responses; and the silent obsolescence of the traditional project manager. For Ricardo, 2026 will be the year of repositioning, requiring the courage to unlearn, assume new responsibilities, and lead in ambiguous environments, focusing on real impact and conscious choices.

Why do so many capable young men feel stuck—lacking discipline, direction, or purpose? What separates those who drift through life from those who lead with confidence and conviction?In this episode, we sit down with Steve Montgomery, head of the American Top Team Striking Program, to unpack the hard-earned lessons behind real leadership, discipline, and personal growth.Steve is a Bellator veteran, Ultimate Fighter 25 contestant, and two-time UFC veteran, with a perfect 6–0 amateur record and a 10–6 professional MMA career against world-class competition. With over 15 years of training and 11 years coaching at American Top Team Headquarters, Steve has evolved from elite fighter to elite mentor. He is also a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu black belt under Bob DeLuca and has coached fighters across the UFC, Bellator, One FC, and beyond.More than titles and wins, Steve brings a passion for building disciplined, high-character individuals. This conversation explores how adversity shapes leaders, why standards matter, and how mentorship can change the trajectory of a life.If you're looking for clarity, strength, and a blueprint for becoming a better man—this episode delivers.Quotes:"You become a product of your environment, but there comes a point where you start to flip the script and make your environment a product of you.""Winning sucks the whole time—until your hand is raised. Everything wants to quit, but that's what makes victory matter.""You have to just do it. If you want to understand something, don't just study it—go do it."Actionable Takeaways:Audit your environment. Take 10 minutes to list the people, habits, and spaces you spend the most time in. Ask yourself: Is this environment shaping me into who I want to become—or holding me back? Make one intentional change this week.Set and enforce one non-negotiable standard. Choose a single daily discipline (training, reading, sleep, prayer, or skill practice) and commit to it for the next 30 days—no excuses, no renegotiation.Seek correction, not comfort. Identify one area where you've been avoiding feedback. Ask a coach, mentor, or trusted peer for honest input—and listen without defending yourself.Lead before you're ready. Look for one opportunity this week to model leadership through action: show up early, help someone improve, or take responsibility without being asked.Redefine winning. Reflect on this question: Am I chasing applause, or am I building long-term character? Write down what “winning” should look like for your life five years from now—and what habits must change to get there.Conclusion:True leadership isn't built in comfort—it's forged through discipline, accountability, and the willingness to grow when no one is watching. Steve Montgomery's journey reminds us that the same principles that create elite fighters also shape strong men: clear standards, the right environment, and mentors who care enough to correct.Whether you're a young man searching for direction or a leader investing in others, this episode challenges you to raise your standards, embrace hard work, and commit to becoming the kind of person others can trust and follow.

I walk into the studio with one question on my mind: how do I explain the latest turns in the courtroom battles surrounding Donald Trump in a way that cuts through the noise for you, the listener, without losing the legal stakes that have the whole country on edge?Over the past few days, the headline moment has come from Washington, where the United States Supreme Court handed Donald Trump a sharp setback in a case called Trump v. Illinois. According to the Supreme Court's own opinion and analysis from SCOTUSblog, the Court rejected the Trump administration's attempt to federalize and deploy the Illinois National Guard, along with Texas Guard units, into Chicago to respond to protests and violence around federal property. The administration argued the Insurrection Act and related statutes gave President Donald Trump broad authority to call up the Guard. A lower court had blocked him, questioning both the factual basis and the scope of that power, and the Supreme Court, in an emergency ruling, refused to restore his plan.In practical terms, that meant National Guard troops would not be marching into Chicago under federal orders, at least not on the legal theory the administration offered. The opinion revealed a divided Court. Justice Samuel Alito, joined by Justices Clarence Thomas and Neil Gorsuch, dissented, accusing the lower court of underestimating the seriousness of the violence that federal officials described. But the majority, as summarized by commentators at the Brennan Center and SCOTUSblog, signaled limits on how far a president can go in using military force at home without close judicial scrutiny.That ruling landed against a broader backdrop of ongoing litigation involving Donald Trump and his administration's actions. Lawfare's “Trials of the Trump Administration” tracker notes that federal courts around the country continue to referee battles over immigration enforcement, civil service protections, the scope of independent agencies, LGBTQ rights, and government spending. In several shadow-docket cases this year, like Trump v. Boyle on firing members of the Consumer Product Safety Commission, the Supreme Court sided with Trump on presidential control over agencies, but in others, especially involving immigration detention and bond hearings, lower courts have pushed back, and the justices have sometimes let those limits stand.Taken together, the last few days have underscored a pattern: Donald Trump is still testing the outer edge of presidential power in court, and the judiciary is no longer giving him a nearly open field. Instead, each new ruling sketches a tighter map of what a president can and cannot do, from sending troops into a state like Illinois to restructuring the federal bureaucracy or reshaping immigration courts.You, as listeners, are watching a slow, legal tug-of-war over the future of the presidency itself, conducted one opinion, one injunction, one emergency application at a time.Thank you for tuning in, and come back next week for more.

How to be the Change You Want to See with Mari Manoogian Today on Tales from the Lane, I'm joined by the Honourable Mari Manoogian—former Michigan State Representative and now Executive Director of The Next 50, an organization dedicated to empowering and equipping the next generation of leaders to shape the future they want to live in. This conversation is honest, energizing, and deeply grounding. Mari pulls back the curtain on what leadership actually feels like when you're the youngest person in the room, when the stakes are high, and when stepping forward requires vulnerability, conviction, and courage. We talk about: What courage really feels like (hint: it's rarely glamorous) Claiming leadership instead of waiting to be "granted" it Navigating power dynamics, criticism, and visibility Reinvention and knowing when it's time to evolve Why showing up—even when you're unsure—changes everything Mari is smart, warm, grounded, and deeply committed to helping people lead with purpose and impact. You're going to walk away feeling inspired—and far more capable than you may realize. Learn more about The Next 50 here:

Disconnected from your body in ND chaos? In this episode of Adulting with Autism, host April explores quantum human design for neurodivergent reconnection with Dr. Karen Parker, Human Design/Quantum Human Design expert (psychology/holistic health background, founder of Quantum Human Design™). Integrating ancient wisdom/quantum physics, Dr. Parker decodes energetic blueprints for growth—workshops/courses/consults empowering authentic purpose/societal harmony. Key insights: Body disconnection: Epidemic from kindergarten (overstim/shame, "treehouse" numbness); leads to distractions (TV/phone/food) to avoid pain. Micro-trauma: Not just big events—shaming needs (e.g., bathroom denial) teaches "unsafe to be me"; compounds to burnout (body refuses mask). Redefine value: Shift from material/numerical (money/size) to preciousness (once-in-lifetime cosmic event)—nurture self like royal gems. Quantum human design: High-frequency language rewires stories (photon storms/neurotransmitters); hero's journey (creative writing/dance) upgrades victim to victor, boosts immunity/creativity. Healing steps: Compassion without judgment ("ready for change"); rest/outdoors/body listening; frequency physics (high vibe pulls others up—influential/authentic living). ND application: Burnout from masking (exhaustion trying to fit); safe embodiment for empaths/sensitives—rewrite low-frequency trauma narratives. For autistic/ADHD in overwhelm/isolation, Dr. Parker's blueprint: "Preciousness heals—get in body, rewrite story."

The Trump regime has launched a radical overhaul of the U.S. State Department's global human rights report, creating a new political weapon that threatens diplomatic ties and redefines universal human rights principles. This video breaks down the shocking new criteria U.S. officials must use when compiling their annual reports. Policies like Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI), government subsidies for abortion, and gender-affirming care for children are now being categorized as potential human rights infringements.
