Send us a textIn this special Christmas episode, Coach Chris Wilson and Jared Haley reflect on the deeper meaning of the season through the lens of Philippians 4:4–13. While many know verse 4:13 by heart, this conversation slows down to explore the powerful truths that come before it—rejoicing in the Lord, trusting God in prayer, and experiencing peace that surpasses all understanding. Chris and Jared discuss what it truly means to live as peacemakers, and how peace begins in our own hearts and minds. Drawing from Scripture, they talk about the responsibility we have to take our thoughts captive and focus on what is true, noble, and praiseworthy. The episode also challenges listeners to move beyond simply hearing God's Word and into living it out through obedience and trust. Ultimately, this conversation points back to Christ as the source of our strength, peace, and hope. Especially during the Christmas season, it's a reminder that we are not meant to do life on our own. In Christ, we find the strength to walk forward—no matter the circumstances. This episode is an invitation to slow down, reflect, and rediscover the peace only Jesus can give.

This week, we are diving deep into the magic and the madness of the holiday season. Christmas looks a little different around here these days. Gone are the mile-long wish lists for toys and the frantic search for the latest gadget. Instead, we are navigating a beautiful new season of parenthood: Christmas with young adult daughters. In this episode, we open up about the bittersweet transition of watching our girls grow up and how we are intentionally working to keep our family unit tight-knit, even as their lives expand. We talk candidly about the shift from buying so much "stuff" to creating moments and investing in their interests. We also tackle the practical side of the holidays like staying on budget without being a Scrooge. We share how we are balancing the books while still making the season feel abundant and special. Join us for a warm, honest conversation about love, family, and making memories that outlast the wrapping paper.

Ali Truwit didn't know if she would survive. Shortly after graduating from Yale, where she was a competitive swimmer, she was on vacation when she was attacked by a shark. Thanks to her incredible strength and the quick actions of her friends—one of whom applied a life-saving tourniquet—Ali survived, though she lost her lower leg in the attack. And now? She's a two-time Paralympic silver medalist and amputee who has turned a senseless tragedy into a powerful mission of hope. Ali shares her remarkable journey of recovery, from the early days of facing a debilitating fear of water to becoming an American record holder and medaling at the Paris Paralympics. We discuss everything from the power of community and support systems to the "stronger than you think" philosophy that led to the creation of her nonprofit and documentary. IN THIS EPISODE The emotional experience of running the NYC Marathon with her support system The details of the shark attack and the heroic actions of her friend, Sophie Learning to find hope and joy after trauma The "permission to feel and intention to reset" strategy Redefining what's possible in a "new body" The mission behind her nonprofit, Stronger Than You Think Representing the Paralympic movement in Sports Illustrated Swimsuit and in her work as a Nike athlete QUOTABLE MOMENTS On Mindset and Resilience "The message that we're stronger than we think is for everyone. We all go through hard times and trauma and hardship and I think that message that you have more in you is something that I hope everyone sees." "If you ask 'why me?' ... make sure you're asking it in both directions." "Our fears and our feelings are not facts." On the Power of Community "Community really is so important. I think about my journey as a testament to the power of community and support." "There really is no wrong form of support. Whatever you have to give, whenever you have to give it, matters and moves the person forward." On Growth and New Beginnings "I'm swimming faster than I ever swam in certain events with two legs. It's a message to myself of what is still possible for me in this new body." "I can take this bad, senseless trauma that happened to me and use it for good." "It's just as likely that things can go better than you expect than it is that they might not go well at all."

And as you see that signal, the goal is [to] go refuel. Let me use this opportunity to go refuel. Perimenopause is the time to start getting some things in place to refuel: changing your diet, incorporating more protein, but also fiber. Looking at what you may be depleted in to refuel.”  “I want to really change that narrative of what we do for our health, how we think of ourselves in health, and start those conversations earlier.”  “I think resilience is key. But many times we have to practice it. We have to be expanded to come back, and if we don't allow for that growth, then we are not resilient. And we know that mentally and emotionally and physically, the body is built to be resilient, but we have to teach it that as well.” RESOURCES MENTIONED Order Dr. Shepherd's Book on Amazon HERE ⁠https://www.amazon.com/Generation-Living-Well-Perimenopause-Menopause/dp/1454954892⁠ Order my new book: The Perimenopause Revolution https://peri-revolution.com/ Dr. Jessica Shepherd's Website Dr. Jessica Shepherd on Instagram Modern Meno on Instagram RELATED EPISODES  704: Hormone Intelligence for Women in Midlife: How to Thrive Through Perimenopause with Dr. Aviva Romm 690: The Perimenopause Revolution: Why midlife isn't the end — it's the beginning of your most energized, powerful, and vibrant self 689: The Hidden Brain Shift: Why Perimenopause Symptoms Start Earlier Than You Think 686: Your Second Puberty Explained: What's Really Happening to Your Body in Perimenopause

Robin Long is the Founder and CEO of Lindywell, a global wellness brand helping women build strength, reduce stress, and find balance through Pilates, nutrition and nervous.system support. What began in her living room has grown into a global digital platform serving tens of thousands of members in over 80 countries - and recently celebrated 10 years of empowering women to feel strong, vibrant, and resilient at every age. Her “grace over guilt” philosophy and sustainable approach to wellness have been featured on The Today Show, LIVE with Kelly & Ryan, Well + Good, and the Lindywell app was voted Best Pilates App by Women's Health Magazine. As a mom of four, Robin is passionate about building a company that aligns with her values - proving it's possible to grow a successful business while prioritizing family, health, and purpose. In this episode, Robin shares how nervous system dysregulation impacts exercise tolerance, blood sugar balance, hormone health, and mental well-being, especially for women in midlife. Together, Erin and Robin unpack why intensity isn't always better, how short consistent movement supports resilience, and how nourishment, breath, and self-compassion create true healing from the inside out. This conversation weaves science, psychology, and faith into a compassionate framework for sustainable strength, calm, and purpose, reminding us that wholeness begins when the body feels safe. Key Topics: - How Pilates rebuilds connection to the body instead of punishing it - The hidden nervous system cost of high-intensity, all-or-nothing workouts - Why consistency matters more than intensity for long-term health - Nervous system dysregulation, burnout, and midlife hormone shifts - How stress and over-exercise contribute to blood sugar dysregulation - Why protein, fat, and fiber stabilize both mood and energy - Nutrition “noise” to let go of (supplement overload, perfectionism) - Why the body can't heal if it doesn't feel safe - Redefining health beyond body size, aesthetics, and fitness culture - Self-compassion as a biological regulator, not just a mindset shift - Honoring your God-given purpose through sustainable care of your body Download Robin's Lindywell app to access her workouts, recipes, and mediations.

Caev is a rockstar in the truest sense - an artist who lives on the edge, embraces his contradictions, and creates from chaos. He's full of bright spots and dark flaws, and he wouldn't have it any other way. That tension is what fuels his art.After spending time away touring Europe, Caev returned to BFTC for one of the most honest conversations we've had yet. He talks about performing in Budapest and Bristol, where crowds embraced his sound in ways American audiences haven't - and why that experience has him planning a move overseas. He opens up about the reality of his label deal: getting signed, expecting support, and receiving nothing. He shares his vision for creating a defining sound for Boston that reflects the city's Afro-Caribbean roots and cultural mix. And in the rawest moment of the conversation, he talks about his addiction to weed and CHS (Cannabinoid Hyperemesis Syndrome). This is Caev UNFILTERED...

I used to believe that pushing harder was the only way to win. Harder workouts. Longer days. Zero excuses. But at some point, that mindset stops working. In this episode, I sit down with Robin Long, founder of Lindywell, to talk about what actually creates sustainable results in your body, your business, and your life. We dive into why high achievers burn out when they ignore their nervous system, how Pilates builds real strength without depletion, and why doing less with more intention leads to more energy, better workouts, and stronger momentum in every area of life.

In this episode of Skin Anarchy, Dr. Ekta Yadav sits down with Michele Henry, founder and CEO of FACE FOUNDRIÉ, to explore how the facial industry is being quietly—but fundamentally—rewritten. What began as a personal frustration became a scalable solution: professional skincare that's consistent, accessible, and designed for real life, not just special occasions.After her third child, Michele found herself stuck between facials that were either overly luxurious, prohibitively expensive, or wildly inconsistent. She wanted results, education, and efficiency—without the intimidation. When that middle ground didn't exist, she built it. FACE FOUNDRIÉ's facial-bar model challenged long-standing spa norms by focusing exclusively on high-quality facial services delivered quickly, clearly, and consistently.A central theme of the conversation is accessibility. Michele rejects the idea that skincare should feel exclusive or confusing. Transparent pricing and monthly memberships make frequency possible—and frequency, she explains, is what actually drives results. Prestige may impress, but approachability scales.Behind the scenes, FACE FOUNDRIÉ's real innovation is operational. Standardized protocols ensure clients receive the same experience across locations, while personalization comes through targeted enhancements layered on top—not improvisation. Technology tracks treatments and progress, reinforcing consistency as a clinical standard.The episode also tackles a common misconception: that advanced at-home products can replace professional care. Michele makes the case that treatments and products work best together—services like dermaplaning, peels, and extractions create the conditions for skincare to truly perform.At its core, FACE FOUNDRIÉ is about emotional safety as much as skin health. Clients choose how they want to experience their facial—quiet or educational—in spaces designed to feel welcoming, not intimidating.Listen to the full episode to hear how Michele Henry is redefining professional skincare—making results-driven facials scalable, sustainable, and built for everyday life.Learn more about Face Foundarié on their website and social media!CHAPTERS:(0:02) - Introduction & Face Foundrie Overview(0:59) - Michele's Personal Journey & The Origin Story(2:16) - Reimagining the Facial Bar Model(3:23) - Early Trial, Error & Rapid Pivot(5:26) - Accessibility, Memberships & Breaking Prestige Barriers(7:16) - Results-Driven Protocols vs Luxury Spa Experiences(8:23) - Consistency, Personalization & Scalable Systems(10:26) - Franchising Face Foundrie & National Growth(13:35) - Technology, AI & The Future of Skin Care ExperiencesPlease fill out this survey to give us feedback on the show!Don't forget to subscribe to Skin Anarchy on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or your preferred platform.Reach out to us through email with any questions.Sign up for our newsletter!Shop all our episodes and products mentioned through our ShopMy Shelf!*This is a paid collaboration Hosted on Acast.

"Potential won't make your impact. Purpose will." Potential is often misunderstood. We think it's enough to have talent or opportunity. Yet potential by itself is energy waiting to be used, possibilities waiting to be realized. It exists quietly until we choose to act. The challenge is that many of us stay in potential too long. We let titles, achievements, or the idea of success define us. We fill our time with distractions, scrolling through screens or chasing convenience, thinking we are busy when we are avoiding the work that matters. Growth requires effort, discipline, and focus. Purpose changes the game. Purpose is when potential becomes action, when effort meets opportunity, when small steps build toward impact. It's about showing up, doing the work, and staying consistent even when progress is slow. It's about stepping into new spaces, building relationships, and taking risks that open doors. Purpose touches your work, your family, and your legacy. Living with purpose means knowing your worth is not tied to a role or achievement. It's in the effort, the discipline in small things, and the choice to keep moving forward. Potential starts the journey, but purpose is what makes the difference. In this final episode of Time Out with the Sports Doctor, we wrap up 2025 with reflection and gratitude. The focus is on moving from potential to purpose and understanding that growth takes action, not just ability. As the year comes to a close, we revisit lessons on identity beyond job titles, mental health, discipline, and showing up consistently. This episode offers a clear reminder that real progress comes from doing the work and staying grounded as you prepare for the year ahead. "Potential is a lot of stored-up energy and possibilities. Purpose is when you start to execute and make the impact you want on others and on the world." - Dr. Derrick Burgess Topics Covered: (00:00:00) Introduction (00:01:56) The power of collaboration and unexpected opportunities (00:04:11) Mental health as a foundation for performance (00:05:40) Discipline, rehab, and doing the work consistently (00:06:47) Your worth is not tied to performance (00:08:05) Stewardship of small things leads to bigger doors (00:08:42) Pushing past limits one step at a time (00:09:31) Advertisement: Struggling with your finances as a young physician?

In Episode 123 of the Family Biz Show, host Michael Palumbos welcomes Brad and Olivia Mountz of Mountz Incorporated for a powerful conversation that challenges traditional assumptions about family business succession and passing on the family business. This episode blends heartfelt storytelling with practical frameworks in family business leadership, legacy planning, and long-term business continuity for families. As Brad and Olivia share their journey—from working together across generations to ultimately choosing a strategic sale of the company—they offer deep insights that any Family Business Advisor or Family Business Consultant will find invaluable for guiding their own clients through complex transitions. From Origins to Leadership Brad's entry into the family business was organic: starting with sweeping floors and working across operational roles, he earned leadership through experience. This reflects a key aspect of family business leadership—working from the ground up, earning trust, and proving capability. Olivia's path was intentionally different. She built her confidence and skills outside the company before joining, illustrating how family business succession planning can involve developing leaders externally as well as internally. A thoughtful Family Business Consultant would note that these differentiated pathways help prepare next-gen leaders to add real value when passing on the family business. Values, Culture, and Strategic Planning At the heart of Mountz's success is a deeply held set of values—customer obsession, quality, and employee engagement—which have shaped a workplace culture that wins awards and retains top talent. This strong culture is a cornerstone of business continuity for families and speaks directly to how leaders can integrate legacy planning into everyday operations. Brad emphasizes that caring for employees first enables exceptional service, a practice that a Family Business Advisor might highlight as a best practice in sustaining long-term success. Coaching, Communication, and Leadership Development A standout theme in the episode is the role of coaching in strengthening both individual leadership and family dynamics. Brad and Olivia discuss engaging coaches—one focused on business strategy and another on emotional intelligence—to improve communication, resolve conflict, and build mutual understanding. These investments in personal development reflect the deeper side of family business leadership and legacy planning; effective coaching can be a differentiator in how families prepare for family business succession and foster strong working relationships, especially in multi-gen environments. A Values-Driven Exit: Redefining Succession Rather than taking the expected route of a generational takeover, Brad and Olivia made a bold decision: they pursued a strategic acquisition by Snap-on. This pivot reframes passing on the family business as a choice aligned with personal values, family goals, and long-term business continuity for families. Olivia's candid explanation about balancing career ambitions with family life underscores the importance of honest, values-based legacy planning—a critical piece that a Family Business Consultant would advise families to explore deeply in transition planning conversations. Post-Acquisition Dynamics and Continuity Post-acquisition, the Mountz family has focused on sustaining culture, honoring commitments to employees, and adapting to being part of a larger corporate ecosystem. Brad and Olivia explain how communication and clear expectations have helped the transition, demonstrating that legacy planning and family office strategy remain essential even after a liquidity event. Their experience shows that successful business continuity for families isn't just about ownership—it's about preserving meaning, opportunity, and trust after passing on the family business in a non-traditional way. Key Takeaways Family business leadership can emerge through multiple pathways; what matters is alignment with purpose and preparedness. Investing in coaching and external perspective strengthens both individuals and organizational culture—key for any Family Business Advisor or Family Business Consultant guiding leadership development. Redefining family business succession doesn't mean failure; it can create a future that honors legacy while ensuring stability. Business continuity for families is most secure when guided by intentional legacy planning and a clear family office strategy, not just inheritance mechanics. Episode 123 of the Family Biz Show challenges listeners to rethink what it means to "pass on the family business." Through the Mountz family's experience, we see a modern, human-centered approach to family business leadership, family business succession, and long-term business continuity for families—one that values people, purpose, and legacy just as much as financial outcomes. This is essential listening for families navigating the future and for any Family Business Advisor or Family Business Consultant supporting them through complex transitions.

In this powerful and paradigm-shifting conversation, Darin Olien sits down with Dr. Mindy Pelz to dismantle everything we've been told about menopause, hormones, aging, and women's power. This is not a conversation about "fixing" women — it's about understanding a profound neurological, biological, and evolutionary transition that has been misunderstood, pathologized, and silenced for decades. Together, they explore why menopause is not the end of vitality, but the beginning of leadership, clarity, and sovereignty — and why reclaiming this transition could fundamentally reshape families, culture, and the future of women's health.     What You'll Learn (with Full Timecodes) 00:00:00 – Welcome to SuperLife: Why this episode matters for everyone, not just women 00:01:05 – The hidden cost of modern living: Plastics, endocrine disruption, and invisible hormonal stress 00:02:47 – Introducing Dr. Mindy Pelz: Why this conversation goes deeper than anything online 00:03:17 – Why women were excluded from medical research for decades 00:05:26 – The shocking pattern Dr. Pelz saw in women in their 40s: When life looks perfect but feels unbearable 00:06:41 – The suicide and divorce statistics no one talks about 00:07:27 – Why menopause exists at all: The evolutionary mystery 00:08:55 – The Grandmother Hypothesis: Why post-menopausal women kept humanity alive 00:10:08 – The brain shift that makes women stop people-pleasing 00:11:31 – Aging, fear, and the cultural erasure of women's wisdom 00:13:10 – The female brain before vs. after menopause 00:15:13 – Darin's reflection on his mother and invisible female labor 00:16:06 – Why community, safety, and oxytocin matter more than willpower 00:18:00 – Carol Gilligan's research: When girls stop knowing what they want 00:19:32 – Menopause as an awakening — not a breakdown 00:21:24 – Why men must be part of this conversation 00:22:26 – Leadership, aging, and reclaiming relevance 00:24:18 – Family dynamics when identity shifts 00:25:33 – The problem with outsourcing menopause to hormone therapy alone 00:27:00 – How to communicate needs without blame or collapse 00:30:07 – Metabolic health, insulin resistance, and early menopause 00:31:16 – The one blood marker every woman over 40 must track (HbA1c) 00:34:45 – The Hormonal Hierarchy explained: Cortisol, insulin, sex hormones, oxytocin 00:37:44 – Menopause as a cultural rite of passage we never created 00:39:31 – Dementia, Alzheimer's, and the glucose-starved brain 00:40:23 – Why fasting is neuroprotective for women 00:42:35 – How fasting helps menopausal belly weight 00:44:36 – Why shame keeps women disconnected from their power 00:45:34 – Why puberty and menopause are happening earlier 00:46:21 – Big Pharma, fear narratives, and the HRT conversation 00:48:35 – Empowerment vs. outsourcing health 00:50:11 – Why society fears powerful, post-menopausal women 00:52:11 – Dr. Pelz's personal breaking point and nervous system reset 00:55:33 – Redefining work, marriage, and self-permission 00:58:37 – Resentment as a diagnostic tool 01:01:15 – Neuroplasticity, obstacles, and the hero's journey 01:03:16 – Why going through discomfort rewires the brain 01:04:23 – Integration: Menopause as rebirth, leadership, and collective healing 01:12:25 – Closing reflections and final takeaways     Thank You to Our Sponsors: Therasage: Go to www.therasage.com and use code DARIN at checkout for 15% off Bite Toothpaste: Go to trybite.com/DARIN20 or use code DARIN20 for 20% off your first order Caldera Lab: Experience the clinically proven benefits of Caldera Lab's clean skincare regimen and enjoy 20% off your order by visiting calderalab.com/darin and using code DARIN at checkout.     Join the SuperLife Community Get Darin's deeper wellness breakdowns — beyond social media restrictions: Weekly voice notes Ingredient deep dives Wellness challenges Energy + consciousness tools Community accountability Extended episodes Join for $7.49/month → https://patreon.com/darinolien     Find More From Dr. Mindy Pelz: Website: drmindypelz.com Instagram: @dr.mindypelz Follow her YouTube Channel Podcast: The Resetter Podcast Order her new book: Age Like a Girl     Find More from Darin Olien: Instagram: @darinolien Podcast: SuperLife Website: https://superlife.com Book: Fatal Conveniences     Key Takeaway: Menopause isn't a failure of the female body — it's the moment a woman's brain rewires for truth, leadership, and independence.

In this episode of Walk-In Talk Media, Carl Fiadini sits down in studio with Marina Baronas, hospitality leader and author of A New Life, A New Menu: An Almanac of Belonging. Raised across Lithuania, Russia, and Azerbaijan, Marina came to the United States at nineteen without speaking English and built a life through the unseen work of hospitality. Her journey moves through kitchens, dining rooms, leadership, motherhood, burnout, and reinvention, offering an honest look at service as lived experience, not performance. Joining the conversation is Chef Carl Riding, who came up through hotels and kitchens before stepping away from the line to build Crab Island Seafood, a small, independent, chef-driven company producing elevated crab dips. Together, they explore dignity in invisible labor, identity beyond titles, redefining success without leaving hospitality, and why this industry continues to feel like home even after it takes its toll. This episode is for anyone who has carried their roots across borders, worked until they were unseen, or searched for belonging inside the hospitality industry.

If you're feeling drained, wired-but-tired, or overwhelmed heading into the holidays, this episode may completely change how you think about health. In this conversation, Linda Mitchell sits down with Shreya Vohora, an award-winning luxury designer and wellness innovator who is redefining what it truly means to live well — not just through food or fitness, but through the environments we inhabit every day. After her own journey through mold toxicity and hormonal imbalance, Shreya discovered the profound impact our homes have on the nervous system, sleep quality, energy levels, and long-term health. Today, she integrates Building Biology, biophilia, neuroaesthetics, and wellness innovation to help people eliminate invisible toxins and design spaces that actively support the body instead of draining it. With the holidays approaching, Shreya shares grounded, practical ways to reduce stress in your home, improve sleep, and create a healthier foundation — so you can enter 2026 calmer, clearer, and more energized. This episode is a powerful reminder that true wellness isn't just about what you do — it's about where you recover.

From Swiss banker to international bestselling author, Nathalie Botros shares how choosing self-love over external success became the catalyst for a life and business rooted in joy, authenticity, and impact.In this episode, I sit down with Nathalie Botros, known globally as The Bon Vivant Girl and a powerful Happiness Activator. Nathalie is an author, psychotherapist, mindset architect, and the Executive Editor of Ageless Living Magazine, where she curates stories that celebrate unapologetic living at every age. Our conversation begins with the magic of being together in person and the energy of women truly supporting women, not transactionally, but from a genuine place of “how can I help you.”Nathalie opens up about the pivotal moments that reshaped her life, from leaving a prestigious banking career in Switzerland to searching for fulfillment through fashion, success, and external validation. Despite checking all the “achievement” boxes, she found herself deeply unhappy. That awakening led her inward, where she began dismantling perfectionism, diet culture, and self-criticism, and replacing them with radical self-love. One simple mirror practice changed everything, transforming not only how she saw herself but how the world responded to her.We dive into the science of happiness, the myths women are conditioned to believe, and why self-love is the foundation of confident leadership, healthy relationships, and sustainable success. Nathalie also shares powerful insights for women entrepreneurs: why authenticity fuels growth, how setting boundaries protects your business, and why saying no, especially to unpaid labor, is an act of leadership, not selfishness.This episode is a reminder that true success means building a life where joy, impact, and alignment coexist. Nathalie's story will inspire you to stop chasing validation and start leading from a place of love, clarity, and self-worth. Tune in and let this conversation reset how you live, love, and lead.Chapters

Every year, I write up a gratitude list. This year, the list came easily - but it's mixed with what I'm learning, because growth and gratitude feel connected right now.   In this holiday edition, I share what I'm grateful for in 2025: 31 years of marriage, the Unstarving Musician community, my health, and the accidental connections that turned into real relationships. But I also talk about the harder questions I'm sitting with about work, stress management, and what "making it" actually means.   If you're dealing with the tension between strategic thinking and creative joy, wondering if you should quit your day job, or trying to define success on your own terms rather than social media's terms - this episode is for you.   Topics Covered:   Why day jobs might be the smartest path for most musicians The cost of strategic thinking (and when it becomes exhausting) Redefining "making it" - still creating in 5 years, not burned out, not broke The question of celebrating versus numbing stress What the "mystery of the quotient" means for finding your tribe Health, sustainability, and the choices that compound over time How loss clarifies gratitude   This is the last episode of 2025. The next episode drops on January 2nd of the new year. Happy holidays, and thank you for being part of this community!   Show notes at UnstarvingMusician.com Support the Unstarving Musician The Unstarving Musician exists solely through the generosity of its listeners, readers, and viewers.

On this episode of the Scouting For Growth podcast, Sabine VdL talks to Marinela Profi, Global Market Strategy Lead for AI, GenAI and Agentic AI at SAS, about the rise of agentic AI and how we will move from hype to real, reliable AI. In today's episode, we'll discuss: Why LLMs alone don't solve business problems – and what does, how governance is becoming the new frontier of AI trust, and what leaders should expect by 2026, as enterprises shift from experiments to autonomous, explainable intelligence. KEY TAKEAWAYS A generative AI chatbot is really good and answering questions, generating text, or summarising content. But, it typically stops when it comes to conversation. On the other hand, an AI agent goes beyond that, it can take action, it has goals, memory, reasoning capabilities and can orchestrate multi-set workflows using a combination of not just large-language models but also rules, data and analytics. Generative AI talks, and agentic AI does. The 5-step lifecycle of an agent is a framework I put together to help me and my customers understand what an agent actually does step-by-step in practice. 1. Perception 2. Cognition 3. Decisioning 4. Action, and 5. Learning. Governance boards in 2026 will act more like digital oversight committees, they will ensure that agents aren't just smart, but they are safe, explainable and accountable.  BEST MOMENTS  ‘Post action the agent learns from feedback from a human operative. It's important to monitor the learning loops, you cannot allow the agent to “self-update” in ways that are uncontrolled.'  ‘How autonomous should an agent be? 90% of the time it depends on the risk and impact of the task.' ‘Autonomy without accountability is a risk multiplier.' ‘Governance doesn't stop at deployment, performance must be continuously monitored.' ABOUT THE GUEST Marinela Profi helps organizations move from AI hype to trusted impact. As Global Market Strategy Lead for AI, GenAI and Agentic AI at SAS, she works with enterprises in financial services, healthcare, and government to build AI systems that don't just act fast—but act responsibly. With an MBA and a Master's in Statistics and AI, Marinela bridges two worlds: translating complex data science into clear business strategy. Her work focuses on how agentic AI—intelligent systems that perceive, reason, and act autonomously—can deliver governed, explainable decisions instead of black-box predictions. A frequent keynote speaker at international AI and analytics events, she shares insights on the evolution from generative to agentic AI and the new frontier of AI governance, trust, and human-AI collaboration. Marinela is also an Advisory Board Member for Wake Technical Community College's Data Science Program, helping shape future-ready curricula that connect classroom learning with real-world AI innovation.

How can organizations make more equitable changes to their internal norms and structures, to promote fairness over merely seeking profit? What are alternate ways to tackle the difference in agreeableness that underpins many professional gaps between men and women?Cordelia Fine is a professor in the history and philosophy of science department at University of Melbourne, as well as the author of several books, including Patriarchy Inc.: What We Get Wrong About Gender Equality and Why Men Still Win at Work, Delusions of Gender: How Our Minds, Society, and Neurosexism Create Difference, and Testosterone Rex: Myths of Sex, Science, and Society.Greg and Cordelia discuss the complexities surrounding gender equality, including the contested reasons for wage differences and occupational gaps between men and women. Cordelia critiques the traditional and evolving gender norms, explains her stance on DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) strategies, and advocates for more nuanced, context-aware approaches to addressing gender disparities. She challenges oversimplified evolutionary psychology narratives and underscores the importance of understanding the cultural evolution of gender roles. *unSILOed Podcast is produced by University FM.*Episode Quotes:Why valuing women isn't enough52:52: You can say pretty words about valuing the feminine. Oh, you know, women are great. They're so wonderful. They're so empathic and collaborative and participative, and they're really good at building people. But you can't just say that—you have to actually change your organizations so that you literally put your money where your mouth is, so that is what is actually being rewarded.Redefining patriarchy10:37: There's a sort of assumption that when we talk about patriarchy, we're just talking about the harm to girls and women. Its long been recognized, I think, in feminism that often men and certain groups of men do also face harms in that kind of system that's keeping some men on top.Why our ideas about sex differences often get it wrong20:58: I do think we have to be careful about looking at our—first of all, making assumptions about what sex differences actually are—because they're often, you know, a huge amount of overlap, contingent depending on the context and the cues. But also, to then project that back into our ancestral past without taking a kind of wider look at societies beyond the weird populations—Western, educated, industrialized, rich, democratic.Show Links:Recommended Resources:Cecilia L.
