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."

In this special podcast for the Cloud Communications Alliance (CCA) and Technology Reseller News, Doug Green speaks with Jeff Pulver of the vCon Foundation about the accelerating momentum behind vCon technology and why it will play a defining role in the next era of cloud and AI-powered communications. The conversation was recorded in advance of Cloud Connections 2026, where Pulver will be a featured speaker. Pulver, a long-time pioneer in internet communications and standards development, explains that vCon—short for virtualized conversation—is fundamentally a new way to capture, secure, and analyze conversations across voice, video, messaging, email, and other communication modes. Often described as “a PDF for conversations,” vCon provides a tamper-resistant, optionally encrypted container that preserves not only the dialogue itself, but also participants, attachments, metadata, purpose, consent, and AI-generated analysis. The result, Pulver says, is something businesses have never truly had before: truth and memory for every conversation. Why vCons matter now, Pulver explains, comes down to AI. Large language models were trained early on using open standards, including IETF specifications. Because vCon is emerging as an IETF standard, AI systems already “understand” its structure. This dramatically reduces ambiguity and hallucination when conversational history is analyzed at scale. Instead of constantly retraining AI to interpret proprietary formats, organizations can rely on a standardized conversational container that delivers consistent, reliable results across platforms. Pulver believes this shift creates an opportunity as significant as the rise of cloud communications itself. As AI and communications converge, new services, new revenue streams, and entirely new business models become possible. From “smart” SIP trunks and AI-enhanced collaboration tools to enterprise-wide conversational recall, vCons enable organizations of any size—from solopreneurs to global enterprises—to operate with greater efficiency, compliance, and intelligence. “The people who lose out,” Pulver notes, “are the ones who don't embrace AI.” Looking ahead, Pulver predicts that 2026 will be the year of the vCon, as the ecosystem matures and channel partners, service providers, and enterprises begin turning virtualized conversations into real-world value. For members of the CCA community, he sees vCon as a practical, accessible way to add intelligence, differentiation, and new revenue to existing cloud communications offerings.

...And it has less to do with technical skills than firms expect.Accounting ARC - Student-Led ConversationsWith Arpan Grewal and Harshita MultaniCenter for Accounting TransformationAs the accounting profession continues to grapple with talent shortages, shifting expectations, and generational change, one podcast is addressing those challenges from a rarely centered perspective: students themselves.In an end-of-year episode of Student-Led Conversations, hosts Arpan Grewal and Harshita Multani reflect on a year of interviews alongside Donny Shimamoto, CPA.CITP, CGMA, founder and inspiration architect of the Center for Accounting Transformation. The episode serves as both a retrospective and a case study of what happens when students are entrusted with real platforms and real responsibility. MORE Accounting ARC: Downgraded: What the DOE Said About Accounting | Savage: Using Your License as a Megaphone | Baker: Interpreting Pricing Psychology | Don't Get Fired by Your Own Automation | What Amazon Doesn't Tell You | Royalties, Residuals, and Reality Checks | ARC-SLC | Free Speech Is a Right; Respect Is a Responsibility | Cash Bags, Casinos & Audits: How First Jobs Shape Us | Gen Z Redefines Careers | Bootleggers, Baptitsts & CPAs: Rethinking Licensure The idea for Student-Led Conversations emerged after Grewal appeared on an episode of Accounting ARC, where she interviewed seasoned professionals about their careers. What surprised her most was not the technical content, but the personal stories.“I realized accounting isn't just about numbers,” Grewal says during the episode. “It's about people.”That realization became the foundation for a student-hosted series that explores career paths, mental health, failure, advocacy, and professional identity — topics often absent from traditional recruiting or classroom discussions.
In this episode of The Insiders, Richard Lane is joined by James Donaldson, Founder of Stakki to explore how AI is reshaping the sales tech landscape and what it means for sellers. James shares why tool overload has left sales teams distracted, why data quality is now the biggest barrier to predictable revenue, and how AI can help reps spend more time doing what they're actually hired for: speaking with customers. They also dive into the rise of CRM-embedded AI, the shift towards consolidated tech stacks, and how sales teams can balance human-first selling with smarter automation. If you're planning your GTM strategy for 2026, this episode is packed with clarity and practical direction. How AI entered the sales process and what's changed Why automation alone isn't solving pipeline problems The true bottleneck: unstructured, ageing CRM data Why it's “crazy to pay SDRs not to talk to people” The rise of revenue orchestration inside the CRM Predictions for 2026: consolidation, cleaner data, smarter coaching What leaders should prioritise before implementing new tools

In this AGORACOM interview, CEO Evan Gappelberg outlines how the acquisition unifies three platforms unified into one ai event solutions ecosystem capable of achieving “triple digit growth” in 2026 and sets $20 - 30 million as a target within 2-3 years.Nextech3D.ai is transitioning from a single-solution supplier to a comprehensive event-tech platform operator. Its combined offering now spans registration, ticketing, badging, mobile applications, 3D mapping, AI matchmaking and virtual networking - tools that enterprise customers often source from multiple vendors. Krafty Labs accelerates this shift by opening pathways into major global organizations.At the same time, Nextech3D.ai is building a unified AI Event Operating System designed to integrate blockchain ticketing, event tokens, AR navigation and automated workflows into a single, intelligent framework to create a massive differentiator in a market rapidly moving toward automation and personalization.The company's 2026 go-to-market strategy focuses on three growth engines: cross-selling Nextech3D.ai's broader platform into Krafty's enterprise accounts, converting more than 100 double-qualified inbound leads each month and scaling a newly expanded sales organization. The company is targeting $20–30 million in SaaS revenue over the next three years, reflecting the strength of its product suite and the maturing enterprise pipeline.Gappelberg summarizes the inflection point clearly:“With 1,000 customers in our ecosystem and AI at the center of our platform, the scale of this opportunity is unlike anything we've had before.”Through Krafty Labs, Nextech3D.ai inherits relationships with global brands including Google, Meta, Netflix, Oracle, Spotify and Dropbox. These are active Krafty Labs customers with established event budgets, enhancing Nextech3D.ai's ability to introduce its full AI suite across multiple business units. Discussions underway in Dubai and the United States further broaden the company's expansion pathway.The acquisition also strengthens competitive positioning in a market long dominated by legacy incumbents such as Cvent. Nextech3D.ai's customizable AI-driven solutions and full-stack approach are increasingly aligned with what enterprise buyers are seeking.

Every year, an estimated 17,000 Americans suffer spinal cord injuries, many of which permanently alter the course of their lives.. For former collegiate rugby player Rob Paylor, a devastating injury left him paralyzed from the shoulders down. Doctors told him he would never walk or move his hands again. But instead of accepting that fate, Paylor chose a different path—one built on perseverance, faith, and a mindset grounded in resilience and purpose.So, how do you rebuild a life after being told you'll never move again and use that journey to help others overcome what paralyzes them?In this episode of Straight Outta Crumpton, host Greg Crumpton sits down with Rob Paylor, former athlete and now author of Paralyzed to Powerful: Lessons from a Quadriplegic's Journey, for a wide-ranging conversation on overcoming adversity, building purpose through pain, and transforming trauma into impact. From rehab setbacks to standing ovations at Intel, Paylor reflects on what it means to move forward—physically, emotionally, and spiritually, and why mindset is the starting point for any lasting recovery.Key Highlights:Redefining Paralysis: Paylor opens his book not with his own story, but with a challenge to the reader: What paralyzes you? He reframes paralysis as fear, stress, or emotional blocks, not just physical injury.Forgiveness Over Rage: Despite never receiving an apology from the player who injured him, Paylor explains why forgiveness was the hardest—but most necessary—mental battle of all.Faith in Action: Paylor shares how faith helped him move from despair to purpose, and how he now uses his story to help others navigate their own defining challenges.Rob Paylor is a former rugby player for UC Berkeley whose spinal cord injury abruptly changed his life during a collegiate championship match. He defied expectations by learning to walk again and has since become a sought-after keynote speaker and author. Paylor holds a degree from the Haas School of Business and has spoken for audiences at TEDx, Intel, and across the country, offering hard-won lessons on resilience, mindset, and hope.
Dell Technologies today announced a major advancement in hybrid cloud innovation through the integration of Microsoft Azure Local with Dell Private Cloud and Dell PowerStore. This collaboration marks a significant step forward in simplifying IT operations for enterprises, delivering a unified approach to managing diverse workloads across hybrid and multicloud environments. The conversation around enterprise IT has shifted dramatically. Businesses are no longer faced with a binary choice between public cloud and on-premises infrastructure, nor is it simply about running traditional versus modern workloads. The real challenge lies in managing these varied environments consistently and efficiently. Dell Technologies, in partnership with Microsoft, is addressing this challenge head-on by introducing Azure Local support for Dell Private Cloud and Dell PowerStore, creating a seamless experience for organisations seeking flexibility, performance, and enterprise-grade resilience. Hybrid Cloud now has Azure local integration Dell Private Cloud represents the first Azure Local offering to deliver a full-stack solution encompassing compute, external storage, and networking from a single vendor, backed by end-to-end solution-level support. This integrated approach simplifies the complexity of hybrid and multicloud management, enabling businesses to focus on innovation rather than infrastructure. With automated lifecycle management, independent scaling of compute and storage, and a future-ready disaggregated architecture, Dell Private Cloud empowers organisations to adapt to evolving demands without disruption. Complementing this is Dell PowerStore, Dell's flagship enterprise all-flash storage platform. PowerStore brings advanced data efficiency, flexible scalability, and robust security to Azure Local environments, ensuring critical workloads remain protected while delivering exceptional performance. Its ability to handle both traditional and modern workloads makes PowerStore the ideal partner for businesses modernising their IT operations without compromise. Caitlin Gordon, Vice President of Product Management for Private Cloud and AI Solutions at Dell Technologies, said: "The conversation around enterprise IT is changing. It's no longer about choosing between public cloud and on-premises infrastructure. Nor is it a simple decision between running traditional or modern workloads. Today, the real challenge is how to manage all of these different environments and application types together, simply and consistently. By bringing Microsoft Azure Local to Dell Private Cloud and PowerStore, we're helping customers simplify their IT operations and unlock the full potential of their hybrid cloud strategies." This integration is more than a technical milestone; it reflects Dell Technologies' commitment to helping customers navigate the complexities of modern IT. Together with Microsoft, Dell is delivering solutions that meet the evolving needs of businesses, from hybrid cloud to edge computing and beyond. Early access for this combined offering is expected to launch in spring 2026, paving the way for organisations to embrace a future-ready infrastructure that drives innovation and growth.

As we head into a new year, many of us are thinking about goals—what we want to do, accomplish, or finally finish. But what if the real work starts somewhere deeper? In this episode of Tales from The Lane, Kate Kayaian explores the idea of identity shifts, and why before you can start talking about building better habits, or finding more discipline, we need to figure out WHO you need to be in order to reach those goals. You'll learn: Why behavior always follows identity A simple framework that can help you through the process. The difference between evolution and identity "death" The three phases of an identity shift How to create your own Identity Blueprint for the year ahead Kate also shares journaling prompts, mini case studies, and practical mantras with small actions to help you step into your next-level self—without risk of burnout or crippling perfectionism. This episode is especially powerful if you're setting intentions for the new year, navigating reinvention, or feeling called toward something bigger, but unsure how to get there.

Send us a textA Facebook group started after a post-marathon lull turned into a global home for older women who run—and the stories behind it will make you lace up. We sit down with Sherry, founder of Old Ladies Running, along with Erin and Diane, to explore how a simple idea grew into nearly 18,000 members who celebrate first miles, comeback races, and everything in between. The heart of it isn't PRs; it's the culture: questions welcomed, no snark, real experience shared freely, and support that feels as steady as a training plan.We dig into why this space resonates where others fall short. Many over-50 groups skew male; many women's forums skew young. This community bridges the gap with practical mentorship and warmth—gear tips that actually help, reassurance through injuries, and honest talk about pacing, recovery, and the mental game. You'll hear how “pain-free plus three” accelerates safe returns, why run-walk can be as fast as continuous running with better next-day legs, and how strength training and dynamic warmups prevent nagging setbacks.There's momentum beyond the feed: after a rain-soaked but unforgettable meetup at Flying Pig, we're organizing a West Coast gathering at Rock 'n' Roll San Diego with multiple distances and an easy-to-reach venue. Members share travel hacks, hotel blocks, and discount-hunting strategies so more people can join. Along the way we reflect on growing up pre- or early-Title IX, claiming visibility as older athletes, and the quiet power of showing up for each other—whether it's a turkey trot, a Disneyland 10K, or a London Marathon charity bib.If you're craving a kinder running space and a push to try the next distance—without the pressure—this conversation is your sign.

What do you do when life hands you pain you never asked for—and refuses to take it back?How do you lead, live, and love well when suffering becomes part of your story?Many people spend their lives trying to avoid hardship, hide brokenness, or numb disappointment. Others quietly wrestle with deeper questions: Why did this happen to me? Can anything good come from this? And how do I move forward without losing hope?In this powerful conversation, we explore what it looks like to face adversity with courage, faith, and responsibility. This episode challenges the belief that hardship disqualifies us from impact and instead reveals how suffering can become the foundation for purpose, gratitude, and meaningful leadership.John O'Leary is a burn survivor turned bestselling author, global speaker, and host of the Live Inspired Podcast. After surviving burns on 100% of his body at just nine years old—with doctors giving him less than a 1% chance to live—John's life became a testimony to resilience, faith, and intentional living. Today, he inspires millions around the world to live with purpose, gratitude, and courage. His story will soon be featured in the major motion picture Soul on Fire.John speaks not from theory, but from lived experience. Through decades of physical recovery, emotional struggle, and personal growth, he has learned what it means to fight forward, embrace responsibility, and lead with humility. His journey uniquely equips him to help others reframe suffering and rediscover meaning in the midst of hardship.This is not simply a story about survival.It is a conversation about what you do next with your pain, your calling, and your life.If you have ever felt broken, discouraged, or uncertain about how to move forward, this episode offers perspective, hope, and a reminder that your story is not over.Quotes:“The more you get to know me, the less impressed you are by me. That's the truth—but the story is not a testimony to how great I am, but to how great God is and how big grace is.”“Humility isn't pretending we're less than we are; it's recognizing that every good thing comes from something greater than ourselves.”“As a leader, it's easy to aim big; but in this season of my life, I keep asking, ‘How small can I make this? How can I love one person well?' I'm after the one, not the millions.”Actionable Takeaways:Identify your “fight forward” moment. Write down one hardship you've been avoiding or resenting. Ask yourself: What responsibility do I still have in this situation, regardless of what happened to me? Choose one small action you can take this week to move forward.Practice agency over victimhood. Notice where you've been waiting for circumstances, people, or emotions to change before taking action. Commit to one area of your life where you will stop waiting and start doing your part. Redefine what heroism looks like. Reflect on the ordinary people in your life who quietly show up with consistency, sacrifice, and grace. Reach out to one of them this week and acknowledge their impact.Conclusion:This conversation reminds us that suffering does not disqualify us from purpose—it can refine it. While we may not choose the challenges we face, we always have a choice in how we respond. Leadership, resilience, and meaningful impact are not built in comfort, but through courage, responsibility, and grace.As you reflect on this episode, consider where you are being invited to fight forward rather than retreat, to take ownership rather than remain stuck, and to live with intention rather than fear. Your story is still unfolding, and what you do next matters.This episode is an invitation to stop measuring life by what went wrong and start measuring it by who you are becoming.Learn more about John O'Leary's story and the mission behind his message at https://johnolearyinspires.com/johns-story/.

I appreciate this week's adventurous task because…” “Most of the problems in our lives and world are caused by relational dysfunction, a dysfunction in how we relate: as social groups, as individuals, to animals and the environment, and even to ourselves. Therefore, developing relational literacy—the understanding of and ability to practice healthy ways of relating—is essential for personal, social, and ecological transformation.” —Melanie Joy, psychologist, author, theorist, educator When WeMentor… your life becomes more meaningful!!! Redefine how you lead while redesigning your business. Dual Innovation Leadership WORKS. Visionary Mentor Nancy Meyer, MA Business and Life Mentor | Podcaster | Author | Mindfulness Yogi and Meditation Integrator I integrate mindfulness yoga into everything because breathing, meditation, and movement are essential as you change your life and how you lead. I have a compassionate, collaborative approach that reinforces resilience and maintains accountable conversations supporting your evolution. Bottom Line: My top priority is your transformation and creating a meaningful life through business ownership. You will learn new skills, practice, evolve, innovate, expand marketing efforts, and prosper financially. We start with your desire to develop as a leader. To give you more background, I founded WeMentor, inc. in 1992 to promote Dual Innovation Leadership, the ability to evolve how you lead as you redesign your business model. To grow our businesses, we must lead differently when our perspective shifts. The thousands of brave leaders I have mentored succeeded by taking charge of how they evolved and learned how to respond to the unpredictable nature of business ownership by innovating on purpose (asserting self-leadership). When your perspective shifts, your intuition nudges you into a growth process so you can learn how to lead differently. As you practice new ways of leading, you notice ways to change your business. It is like remodeling. We start with a plan when we embark on a remodeling project. When we implement the plan, obstacles challenge us to adjust our mindset, gather further information, and brainstorm other options. Adapting the plan to fit our new reality is part of every remodeling project. Budgets always need adjusting, and we need to update our approach to complete the innovation. What I love about renovating our businesses is that new ideas emerge, and the project usually has an even better result. We feel changed through the process and have learned many details about remodeling that we can apply in our next project. HEAR why I am doing this podcast and subscribe HERE. Get inspired with resources and tools to support your transformation. We post new conversations regularly! You can also binge and listen to prior podcast conversations. Another thing to know about Dual Innovation Leadership is that you can rebound and recover from trauma, distractions, destructive habits, thoughtlessness, confusion, pointlessness, helplessness, overwork, stress, and suffering as you transform how you lead. Integrating our experiences is exhilarating as we evolve how we lead and redesign our lifework. Take the opportunity to change. Assert the next phase of self-leadership development, contact me.

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.

We want your feedback and questions. Text us here.AI isn't replacing leaders, it's redefining leadership. AI can optimize tasks, but it cannot replace influence, empathy, emotional intelligence, or human connection. In this episode, we unpack how the rise of AI is reshaping expectations for leaders and why soft skills are becoming the new hard skills. We discuss the risks leaders face when they over-automate communication, rely too heavily on data, or substitute human presence with digital efficiency. You'll learn how to stay relevant and influential by strengthening the skills AI can't replicate: listening, coaching, vision-casting, emotional intelligence, and authentic connection. If you want to thrive—not just survive—in an AI-driven world, this episode will equip you with the mindset and tools to lead with clarity, confidence, and connection.

From Wall Street's “culture of no” to early-Google hypergrowth to building a consulting business in Memphis with three kids, Meg lived the arc most founders dream about—and learned that money is only one measurement. Freedom, contribution, intellectual fulfillment, and time with family often matter far more.In this episode, we trace her journey from HR leader to entrepreneur, why business development is the real gauntlet, how networks—not algorithms—actually create opportunity, and why the ability to choose your work may be the highest form of wealth.We talk about corporate identity, the loneliness of early consulting, the illusion of digital shortcuts, and the gift of designing your life around family—especially when life throws real-world challenges like caring for a dying parent.No clichés. No hustle fantasy.Just the reality behind “success”—and why meaning often pays in different currencies.TL;DRSuccess isn't salary: Impact, thought leadership, and flexibility often matter more than income.Corporate → Startup → Consulting: Three worlds, three definitions of achievement.Network beats algorithms: You don't get clients—or jobs—from LinkedIn applications. You get them from people.Business dev never stops: Land a client → get busy → pipeline dries up → repeat.Life design is wealth: The freedom to choose work, time, and commitments is a form of success money can't buy.Lean thinking > corporate thinking: Consultants who've lived outside the safety net think clearer, simpler, and more efficiently.Legacy isn't money: Books, models, and ideas can become your version of “immortality.”Memorable Lines“Starting a business teaches you everything you never knew you didn't know.”“You can apply for 2,000 jobs online and hear nothing—your network is your real résumé.”“Consulting is freedom, but freedom comes with the cost of building your own pipeline.”“My definition of success now is simple: choice.”“Thought leadership is being known for what your mind creates—not for who signs your paycheck.”GuestMeg Crosby — Former Wall Street & Google People Ops leader turned consultant; co-author of Running the Gauntlet, corporate board member, and advisor to organizations seeking modern talent, culture, and people-strategy practices.
In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik has a straight talking conversation with transformational leadership coach and extreme adventurer Martin Palethorpe. This is not another hype session about grinding harder. Martin breaks down why so many high achievers quietly burn out even while they look successful on LinkedIn. He explains how real peak performance starts with the mind. Not more strategy. From racing across deserts and trekking to the magnetic North Pole to recovering from a 300 foot skydive crash and rebuilding life after a long marriage, Martin shows how mental clarity, nervous system regulation and conscious leadership create sustainable performance. You will hear practical ways to step off the hamster wheel, cut through internal noise and use breath, presence and simple physical challenges as leadership training. If you are a founder, executive or driven professional searching for depth instead of just more output, this episode is built to land About The Guest: Martin Palethorpe is a transformational leadership coach, adventurer and conscious leadership guide. For more than 25 years he has coached senior executives and founders while testing human limits in extreme environments. He has raced across multiple deserts, trekked to the magnetic North Pole and survived a 300 foot skydive crash. Along the way he has left corporate life, moved through the end of a 20 year marriage and rebuilt his inner and outer world. Martin blends discipline with intuition, performance with presence and physical challenge with spiritual clarity. Through his Quality of Mind work he helps leaders access clarity on demand, regulate their nervous systems and lead from wisdom instead of fear and pressure. Key Takeaways : Peak performance is less about pushing harder and more about removing the mental friction that blocks your existing capacity. The mind usually quits before the body. In extreme desert races, “escape gremlins” in the mind created stories to justify stopping while the body could continue. Obsessing over results and targets can damage performance. It fuels stress, burnout and illness rather than sustainable excellence. Most high achievers are driven by unexamined conditioning. Make more money. Move faster. Look successful. Without asking what any of that truly delivers. In a high pressure moment the simplest shift is to stop and breathe. Breathwork calms the nervous system so you can respond instead of react. You have to step off the hamster wheel. Retreats, quiet time and honest self inquiry are key to hearing deeper wisdom beneath autopilot thinking. Redefine failure. Playing full out means you will sometimes fall short. Protecting your image often costs you a fully lived life. Small physical challenges like cold water immersion expose how much suffering comes from the story in your mind rather than the situation itself. Real success is not about winning or status. It is about a healthy body, honest relationships, inner peace and meaningful impact. How To Connect With Martin Palethorpe : To explore Martin's retreats, coaching and Quality of Mind work.

In today's episode, we explore the real challenges facing the next generation of filmmakers: imposter syndrome, industry shifts, creative pressure, and the struggle to build momentum without traditional pathways or support networks.Our guest, Jake Ross Bell, is living proof that you don't need film school or Hollywood connections to create meaningful work. At just 21, Jake is an indie filmmaker, writer-director, and creator of the IndieFilm Insider podcast. Known for his dark, character-driven storytelling and gritty DIY approach, he's built a thriving creative community through his company, OrangeJuice Media, producing impactful films on small budgets while pushing artistic boundaries with vision and discipline.In this conversation, Jake shares:How the filmmaking landscape is shifting away from traditional gatekeepersWhy young creatives struggle with confidence—and how to lead even when you feel unqualifiedThe value of learning by doing versus waiting for permissionHow to build community, collaborate effectively, and stay resilientThe mindset needed to pursue big, ambitious projects at a young ageWhether you're a filmmaker, a young creative, or someone searching for direction in a noisy world, this episode offers clarity, inspiration, and a roadmap for turning passion into practice.Quotes:"If you see something that you don't like, do something about it. Don't actually just, you know, wait for it to change itself, because it's most likely not going to." "Art is just people trying to learn stuff about themselves, about the world, about others. That's kind of the vessel I chose—exploring darker dramas to understand the human experience.""A lot of what I would say are my skills come from actually just learning—making mistakes, trying things, and figuring out what works by doing." Actionable TakeawaysChallenge your creative excuses: Identify one project you've delayed because of fear, lack of resources, or perfectionism—and commit to starting it this week using whatever tools you already have.Lead before you feel ready: Practice giving clear direction in one area of your life (school, work, or creative projects). Leadership grows through repetition, not confidence.Study human behavior intentionally: Jake's stories come from observing real people. Spend 10–15 minutes a day watching interactions, emotions, and environments—then journal what you notice.Build your creative community: Reach out to one person who shares your artistic interests and propose a small collaboration. Don't wait for your “team”—start forming it.Redefine your filmmaking (or creative) education: Ask yourself, “What can I learn by doing instead of waiting to be taught?” Then take one concrete step—write a scene, film a rough shot, or create a simple 60-second story.ConclusionThis episode reminds us that creative growth doesn't come from waiting for permission, perfect conditions, or the “right time.” It comes from taking bold steps with what you have, where you are. Through Jake Ross Bell's journey—learning by doing, leading before feeling ready, and pursuing stories with conviction—we see what's possible when passion meets persistence. Whether you're a filmmaker, creator, or someone navigating your own path, the challenge is the same: start now, stay curious, and keep building. Your work only improves when you're brave enough to make it.If you enjoyed this conversation, share it with someone who needs the push to begin their own creative journey.

This week on Tales from The Lane, I'm joined by Dr. Kristen Strom — speaker, author, former English professor turned transformational wellness coach — for a deeply real, encouraging conversation about what it actually takes to stop surviving and start thriving. Kristen built the career she thought she always wanted: PhD, professor, teacher educator, mom of three, leadership roles—all the boxes checked. But behind the scenes? She was exhausted, burned out, and increasingly disconnected from herself. A single photo of her on a walk with her kids changed everything. In this episode, Kristen shares: ✨ How success on paper can mask deep misalignment ✨ The moment she realized no one was coming to save her ✨ The 3 pieces of the wellness puzzle ✨ The Be–Do–Have framework and how it can change everything ✨ One small, smart step you can take today to shift your momentum We also talk about the lies we tell ourselves ("later, later, later…"), the danger of thinking being busy means being fulfilled, and how to rebuild a life that aligns with who you've become—not who you were five years ago. This is the perfect episode to listen to during Thrive Fest, where hundreds of us are taking small steps every day to reset our energy and reclaim our clarity. (Join us anytime!)

“Nobody can be an expert in everything — so you surround yourself with the right partners,” says Chris Young, CEO of Smartel. “That's how you deliver real value, reduce costs, and earn long-term trust.” In this latest episode of the TELCLOUD POTS and Shots Podcast Series, Doug Green, Publisher of Technology Reseller News, is joined by Jake Jacoby, CEO of TELCLOUD, and special guest Chris Young, CEO of Smartel, for a compelling look at how collaboration, data-driven decision-making, and unified connectivity strategies are transforming the POTS replacement landscape. Young introduces Smartel as a 23-year veteran in mobile solutions and wireless expense management, known for simplifying large, complex wireless ecosystems. Their approach centers on centralized management, data ingestion tools, standardized policies, and a responsive customer service model, all aimed at lowering costs and streamlining operations for enterprises nationwide. Jacoby explains why Smartel is an ideal partner for TELCLOUD's POTS replacement vision. As organizations confront escalating copper costs, service shutdowns, and outdated infrastructure, Smartel's audits often reveal both unused POTS lines and mission-critical lines at risk. By pairing Smartel's visibility with TELCLOUD's life-safety-grade replacement platform, the two companies deliver cost savings, continuity, and a long-term service model built to last decades. The discussion widens to the larger industry transformation. With the copper sunset accelerating and AI reshaping telecom workflows, both executives describe POTS replacement as a gateway opportunity — the immediate need that opens the door to broader conversations about edge connectivity, SD-WAN, IoT, backup strategy, and comprehensive modernization. As Young notes, “POTS is our biggest door-opener right now — everyone needs it, and it leads to deeper relationships almost every time.” Jacoby adds that while POTS is hot today, the service is required for the next 20 years, creating dependable recurring revenue for partners who can guide customers through the transition. Both stress that customers ultimately want simplicity, reliability, and cost control — and partnerships like TELCLOUD + Smartel are built to deliver exactly that. And true to the Shots tradition, the episode closes with a tasting of Don Julio Ceniza, an exceptionally rare Extra Añejo aged in charred oak barrels. Smooth, smoky, and difficult to find, Jacoby describes it as one of his personal favorites — and surprises both Doug and Chris by sending each of them a bottle to enjoy off-camera. The perfect pairing for a discussion about premium craftsmanship and long-term value. The POTS and Shots series continues to blend industry insight with cultural storytelling, helping MSPs and partners navigate the telecom transition while taking a tour of the world's greatest tequilas.

For the final episode in this special Future of Travel series, I sat down with someone who has quietly shaped more of the vacation rental industry than almost anyone working in it today: Tim Rosolio, VP of Vacation Rental Partner Success at Expedia Group. If you've ever wondered how VRBO evolved from a subscription classifieds site to a global e-commerce engine—or what the next decade of supply, demand, and distribution will actually look like—this is the conversation insiders will be talking about. Tim has spent the better part of a decade helping lead VRBO through some of the most dramatic shifts the category has ever seen: the end of inquiry-based booking, the rise of instant book, the professionalization of hosts, the explosion of supply post-2020, and now, the dawn of a new era where quality, trust, and distribution matter more than raw inventory. In this conversation, we get into: When vacation rentals truly went mainstream Why Vrbo is prioritizing quality over raw supply The rise of branded portfolios and social-led demand Expedia Group's distribution advantage How One Key changes the funnel The real take on OTAs vs. direct Connect with Tim: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tim-rosolio-434b2a98/ Connect with Zach: https://www.linkedin.com/in/zacharybusekrus/ Apply to join the Journey Alliance: http://journey.com/alliance/ Behind the Stays is brought to you by Journey — a first-of-its-kind loyalty program that brings together an alliance of the world's top independently owned and operated stays and allows travelers to earn points and perks on boutique hotels, vacation rentals, treehouses, ski chalets, glamping experiences and so much more.
