Couple's Playbook for 2026: Setting the Frequency for Your Year It's that time of year when the Smith family pauses, reflects, and intentionally sets the tone for the year ahead. In this episode, Chris and Melissa walk through exactly how they approach vision boards, words (or frequencies) for the year, and why doing this work up front creates so much more ease as the year unfolds. While they share what this looks like in their own family, their hope is that it gives you practical inspiration you can adapt for yours — no matter what time of year you're listening. They talk about why your "word for the year" is more than just a cute idea — it's a frequency you choose to live at. A lens that shapes what you notice, what you prioritize, and how you show up when life gets busy or hard. Chris explains how reflecting on the past year, looking ahead, and then choosing a word that truly embodies who you want to be can completely change how a year unfolds. Melissa shares a powerful exercise they did with their kids — a timed writing prompt asking "What do I want in 2026?" — and how repeating it helped everyone move past surface-level answers into more imaginative, honest desires. They also explain how they invite their kids into the process by asking what the family could use most this year, then choosing a shared family frequency together. You'll hear Melissa unpack her word for the year — Gather — and how, once she leaned into it, the meaning expanded far beyond what she initially expected. From gathering people, to gathering at church, to gathering growth through using her voice, she shares how the word already seems to be "finding her." Chris shares his word for the year — Partner — and why he's choosing to live more fully as a committed partner in every area of life: with God, with Melissa, with their kids, with their team, and with the people they serve. They talk honestly about how words create identity, how telling people your word builds accountability, and why allowing others to support your focus is one of the hidden gifts of this practice. They also address the real-life parenting side of this process — what to do when kids resist, how to balance support with challenge, and why it's okay if your child's vision board is one picture taped to a page. The goal isn't perfection — it's participation. The episode closes with powerful stories of vision boards turning into reality, sometimes immediately, sometimes years later — and a reminder that choosing a word, a frequency, or a focus plants a seed of possibility. One that has a way of growing when you give it attention.   LINKS: All Links Family Brand!  stan.store/familybrand familybrand.com/quiz familybrand.com/retreats.  Links For This Episode: http://familybrand.com/playbook Episode Minute By Minute: 00:00 – Why this is the Smith family's favorite time of year 01:00 – Reflecting on the year and setting the tone for 2026 02:00 – Why Chris thinks of words as "frequencies" 03:00 – Choosing your frequency by reflecting on the past and future 04:00 – Melissa's writing exercise: "What do I want in 2026?" 05:00 – How repeating the exercise unlocked deeper clarity 06:00 – Inviting kids into choosing a family word 07:00 – Melissa reveals her word for the year: Gather 08:00 – Unpacking what "Gather" really means 09:00 – How sharing your word invites support and alignment 10:00 – The shower hack: writing your word every day 11:00 – Creating cues so your word doesn't get forgotten 12:00 – Vision boards as visible reminders 13:00 – Using word definitions and etymology for deeper meaning 14:00 – Chris shares his word for the year: Partner 15:00 – What it means to live as a committed partner 16:00 – Telling people your word to create accountability 17:00 – When kids resist the process (and how to handle it) 18:00 – Support vs. challenge in parenting 19:00 – Why imperfect vision boards still matter 20:00 – Stories of vision boards becoming reality 22:00 – Immediate results vs. long-term seeds 23:00 – Final encouragement: choose your frequency and plant the seed

Welcome to The Chopping Block — where crypto insiders Haseeb Qureshi, Tom Schmidt, Tarun Chitra, and Robert Leshner chop it up about the latest in crypto. It's a new year, and that means the crew is back with their annual year-end awards and predictions episode. First up: the 2025 winners and losers. From Trump's meme-coin windfall to Gary Gensler's legacy getting torched, from prediction markets going mainstream to Web3 getting its official eulogy — no one is safe. The team debates the biggest surprises (Circle's shocking IPO run, Ethereum's pivot under new leadership, Zcash's unlikely comeback), the best new mechanisms (ICO 2.0, DATs, federal preemption), and the year's best memes (including the Chopping Block's own tariff factory video). Then comes the flops and comebacks: AI agents that overpromised, Berachain's fall from grace, and Tether somehow winning again. Finally, the crew reviews how badly their 2025 predictions aged — spoiler: not great — and lays out fresh calls for 2026 including AI-powered hacks, stable-coin-funded AI capex, and equity perps taking over DeFi. New year, fresh takes, brutal honesty — let's get into it. Show highlights

Stijn Schmitz welcomes back the legendary Rick Rule to the show. Rick Rule is Investor, Speculator, Founder & CEO of Rule Investment Media. In this wide-ranging interview, Rule provides insights into various commodity markets and economic trends, highlighting key perspectives on precious metals, oil, and global economic dynamics. Reflecting on the remarkable performance of commodities in 2025, Rule notes that gold has actually been steadily growing at 9% compounded annually since 2000. While he doesn’t expect the same parabolic moves to continue, he believes gold will continue to appreciate over the next decade. For silver, Rule discusses significant market disruptions, including changes in trading patterns in Dubai and China, and notes that industrial demand remains structurally inelastic. Regarding the broader economic landscape, Rule offers a stark assessment of the US dollar’s purchasing power, which has lost 97% of its value since 1913. He predicts a potential further 75% loss in purchasing power, suggesting that governments will likely continue to inflate away debt obligations. This perspective underpins his strategy of saving in gold and maintaining liquidity in US dollars. In the commodity sector, Rule sees significant opportunities in copper, oil, and select mining stocks. He emphasizes the long-term supply constraints in copper, driven by decades of underinvestment and lengthy permitting processes. For oil, he recommends companies like Exxon and Canadian producers, noting the sector’s current undervaluation.

What's the difference between true revival and revivalism, and how should Christians respond when God seems to be stirring something fresh? Mark reflects on the Salt Company Conference and the broader signs of spiritual hunger he's seeing among Gen Z. He explains why this moment is deeply encouraging, while also offering a needed distinction between revival and revivalism.Mark draws from Iain Murray's Revival and Revivalism and echoes a helpful framework often attributed to Tim Keller: in true revival, dead Christians come alive, sleepy Christians wake up, and non-Christians are converted. As he looks ahead, Mark shares both a fear and a hope: that momentum could drift toward big event “mountaintop moments,” or instead fuel a lasting renewal centered on the local church, discipleship, and church planting.Episode Highlights00:04 — What does it look like to be deeply rooted in Christ in a world of cultural chaos? 00:32 — Reflecting on Salt Company Conference and what God is doing through it02:29 — Introducing the key question: revival vs. revivalism 05:03 — Defining revival: God's Spirit igniting ordinary means of grace 06:06 — Defining revivalism: using human methods to produce extraordinary results 06:57 — Mark's fear: momentum gets centered on big events and emotional moments 07:29 — Mark's hope: a renewal movement that strengthens the local church 10:13 — The main point: God's plan is the local church (not revival events) 15:43 — Luke 10:2: pray for laborers and for lasting fruit through church plantingResourcesCornerstone Church Sermons: Listen onlineSalt Company Conference: Listen to Sessions & BreakoutsRevival and Revivalism — Iain MurrayThe Gospel Coalition — "It's Here: Gen-Z Revival Hits Campuses This Fall"

Sometimes they show up as the small, everyday obstacles that feel overwhelming."In this episode of Business is Human, Rebecca Fleetwood Hession reflects on the power of prayer in navigating the day-to-day challenges of running a business.

Rather than relying solely on her own strength, Rebecca reveals how she learned to lean into faith, asking for divine guidance in even the smallest decisions, from accounting software to client meetings.Through her experiences, Rebecca discusses the concept of spiritual opposition and how it can feel like a sign that you're on the right path. She also highlights the importance of patience, trusting that God's timing and intervention will guide you to the right solutions.

In this practical conversation, Mardi Winder and Rosalind Sedacca, a recognized certified divorce coach and founder of the Child Centered Divorce Network, talk about how to build a healthy coparenting mindset. As January marks Child Centered Divorce Month, the episode centers on the essential topic of how parents can approach divorce and co-parenting, with their children's well-being as the highest priority.Reflecting on her personal journey, Rosalind Sedacca shares how her own experience as a parent going through divorce shaped her understanding of child-centered co-parenting. She reveals that the lack of resources and guidance in the 1990s inspired her to create a network that supports families long before, during, and long after divorce. Rosalind recounts the heartening moment when her son expressed gratitude for the way his parents handled their separation, highlighting the lasting impact of thoughtful co-parenting.Throughout the episode, Mardi and Rosalind discuss practical strategies for successful co-parenting, stressing the importance of trust and respect, and treating the co-parenting relationship as a business-like partnership focused on raising happy, healthy children. They explore how to navigate disagreements and difficult moments, including using positive communication, practicing empathy, and maintaining cooperation, even when personalities and habits differ.Listeners are encouraged to reflect on their own reactions and expectations, with both speakers emphasizing that change in others is unlikely, but that self-awareness can ease co-parenting challenges. Importantly, Rosalind introduces resources available to parents during Child Centered Divorce Month, including a complimentary six-part video series filled with expert advice on shielding children from the negative effects of divorce.About the Guest:Rosalind Sedacca, CDC is a Divorce & Parenting Coach and Founder of the Child-Centered Divorce Network.

In this solo episode, I'm welcoming in 2026 with what feels like a deep exhale and a powerful reframe: this is the year of harvest. After years of shedding, refining, and staying faithful through seasons that didn't always make sense, I share why I believe this is the moment where the fruit of that work finally becomes visible. We talk about what harvest really means in leadership and business—not hustling harder, but refining, simplifying, and allowing what's already working to mature. I explore why misalignment often shows up right before expansion, how guilt can surface when you want to change what you once prayed for, and why less doesn't mean failure—it often means precision. I also walk you through the different ways you can work with me in 2026, from The Growth Collective to the Brand Accelerator, Revenue Accelerator, and my in-person UNSCRIPTED retreat.

Because sometimes that discomfort, sometimes that itchiness is just that growth edge. It's just you getting ready to leave this level of the base camp to a sin to another one, and most often something just isn't vibing with where you are anymore or with who you are anymore.

The Planisodes are Back! This series of mini-podcast episodes has been designed to help you shape your year from the inside out.  Not by chasing trends or forcing goals, but by reconnecting with your true value, listening more closely to what matters to you now, and creating a plan that feels aligned, flexible and sustainable. Each Planisode focuses on one essential part of meaningful growth. In every episode, I'll guide you through a few thoughtful questions and one simple task, so planning becomes something grounding and supportive rather than overwhelming. Download your Planisode Planning ToolTo support you as you move through the Planisodes, I've created a practical planning spreadsheet you can use alongside the episodes. It gives you space to capture your insights, track your progress, and revisit your plan as you and your business evolve throughout the year. Download it here:  www.melittacampbell.com/PlanisodesTool   This series isn't about having everything figured out from day one. It's about creating clarity through honesty, momentum through alignment, and a plan that grows with you as you step into the year ahead.   Planisode 1: Reflecting on Your Year:  Lessons, Alignment and True Value In today's Planisode, I invite you to pause and look back before moving forward. Rather than rushing into goals or strategies, this episode guides you through a thoughtful review of the past year so you can recognise where your true value showed up, how it felt, and the impact it created. Using a simple, reflective approach, you'll uncover what worked, what felt most aligned, and where you were most yourself in your business. This process helps you build confidence, self-trust and clarity as you shape a plan that feels grounded and sustainable. By understanding the lessons, successes and subtle signals from the year behind you, you'll be able to create a stronger, more meaningful path forward, one that supports growth without forcing you to become someone you're not. "The strongest plans don't start from scratch. They start from truth." — Melitta Campbell   *********************************************  

In this podcast, Stephen Martin discusses the distinction between requests and demands, particularly in the context of relationships and personal growth. He reflects on his experiences with dyslexia and how it affects his understanding of these concepts. Through insights gained from 'The Five Love Languages', he emphasizes the importance of making requests rather than demands to foster healthier communication and connection with others.TakeawaysRequests are more effective than demands in relationships.Demanding love can lead to resentment and pain.Understanding the difference between requests and demands is crucial.Dyslexia can complicate the understanding of abstract concepts.Making requests fosters a desire to help and connect.Demanding behavior can create anxiety and disorientation.Using clay to visualize concepts can aid understanding.Personal growth involves recognizing and changing communication patterns.Daily practice of making requests can improve relationships.Reflecting on communication styles can lead to deeper insights.Dyslexia, requests, demands, relationships, communication, love languages, personal growth, ADHD, adults with dyslexia, support for adults.Join the clubrightbrainresetters.comGet 20% off your first orderaddednutrition.comIf you want to find out more visit:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠truthaboutdyslexia.comJoin our Facebook Group⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠facebook.com/groups/adultdyslexia⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

The Cinematography Podcast Episode 340: Steve Yedlin, ASC Cinematographer Steve Yedlin, ASC, and director Rian Johnson have shared a creative shorthand for over thirty years. Their collaboration is so deep that it rarely requires extensive dialogue. “Rian will mention things he wants to do differently or specifically, but a lot of it is already in the script,” says Yedlin. Johnson describes the vision; Yedlin elevates and translates it to the screen. While Benoit Blanc (Daniel Craig) remains the series' constant touchstone, each Knives Out installment is a visual standalone. “Rian and I are adamant that we don't want to repeat ourselves—that's boring,” Yedlin notes. “We want to push the medium forward and tell the story in the most visually arresting way possible.” For Knives Out: Wake Up Dead Man, the duo pivoted toward a Gothic aesthetic with horror overtones. Yedlin introduced inky, high-contrast blacks and utilized "creep zooms" to heighten the tension. However, the film's atmosphere is most heavily dictated by the lighting. Within the central church setting, outdoor light shifts were meticulously programmed using Yedlin's proprietary software, as the external environment mirrors the internal drama of the scene. The most technical challenge of a Knives Out production is managing the sprawling ensemble cast. Filming large groups can risk "breaking the stageline"—violating the 180-degree rule that maintains spatial consistency for the audience. To avoid disorienting cuts, Johnson and Yedlin identify the strongest "stageline" between two key characters and commit to it. Rather than relying on traditional coverage, they use anchored shots that emphasize depth, showing how characters interact across the foreground and background. Reflecting on their lifelong partnership, Yedlin views the work as both professional and personal. “He's been my best friend,” he says. “Rian is a brilliant filmmaker. Even if I had nothing to do with his movies, they would be my favorites. And then I get to work on them because he keeps bringing me along.” See Knives Out: Wake Up Dead Man streaming on Netflix.

Dan & Billy welcome back longtime friend & Nostalgia Test Podcast Allstar Jeremy Madson to put Metallica's Saint Anger & Some Kind of Monster to the ultimate test—THE NOSTALGIA TEST!   “I think we all went through that period where you tried to convince yourself that you liked [Saint Anger] before you eventually came to the point where like, oh, f***, it sucks.” -Billy   We're starting 2026 with an episode that's been 23 years in the making. Ever since Metallica dropped Saint Anger and Some Kind of Monster in 2003 Dan, Billy, & Jeremy have been on a serendipitous nostalgic road to this conversation, this nostalgia test, this very moment where they unpack the total disillusionment they endured when this album came out. This is that moment. They talk about the impact of the documentary, the ego that is Lars, how James Hetfiled's time in rehab, and the cool demeanor of Kirk Hammett. they also talk about the unceremonious way Jason Newstead was treated and the dumpster fire Rob Trujillo walked into when he was hired. So, grab your best metalhead friends, put on your favorite band shirt, and crack open a Bud heavy, because this one is for the real Metallica fans who aren't trying to rewrite the history that's the Saint Anger album.

This episode is a raw, reflective breakdown of the 10 most important leadership and business lessons learned over the past year, surfaced through intentional self-reflection and unexpected insights from AI tools like ChatGPT. Rather than chasing more activity, this episode explores what actually moves the needle: clarity, alignment, structure, emotional intelligence, boundaries, and long-term thinking. If you're a leader, entrepreneur, or executive who feels stretched thin, emotionally drained, or stuck between growth and burnout, this episode will hit home.   Podcast Show Notes – Episode 263 | 01.06.2025 Episode Title: 2025 Year End Review   Key Moments 00:00 – Reflecting on what worked and what didn't 00:41 – Using AI to surface leadership lessons 01:45 – Lesson 1: Clarity beats activity 04:04 – Lesson 2: Premium positioning requires discipline 06:22 – Lesson 3: Not every paying client is a good client 08:57 – Lesson 4: Leadership work is emotional work 10:49 – Lesson 5: Structure creates freedom 13:01 – Lesson 6: Personal brand is a long game 17:05 – Lesson 7: You can't save everyone 19:24 – Lesson 8: Your voice matters more than perfect delivery 21:57 – Lesson 9: Growth often feels lonely before it's rewarding 24:57 – Lesson 10: You're building something bigger than you intended 28:29 – Final reflection on becoming your best self   Key Takeaways Doing more isn't the answer, doing what matters is. Clarity and focus create momentum, not constant motion. Alignment matters more than revenue. Misaligned clients, relationships, and commitments cost more than they pay. Leadership growth is emotional, lonely, and worth it. The hardest seasons are often forging the strongest leaders.   Host: Sean Barnes Website: https://www.wolfexecutives.com   https://www.seanbarnes.com LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/seanbarnes/ https://www.linkedin.com/company/wolfexecutives https://www.linkedin.com/company/thewayofthewolf/ LinkedIn Newsletter: https://www.linkedin.com/newsletters/7284600567593684993/ The Wolf Leadership Series: https://wolfexecutives.com/wolf-leadership-series/ YouTube: youtube.thewayofthewolf.com Twitter: https://x.com/the_seanbarnes https://x.com/wolfexecutives Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/the_seanbarnes https://www.instagram.com/wolfexecutives https://www.instagram.com/the_wayofthewolf TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@the_seanbarnes Email: Sean@thewayofthewolf.com Audible: https://www.audible.com/pd/The-Way-of-the-Wolf-Podcast/B08JJNXJ6C Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/2BTGdO25Vop3GTpGCY8Y8E?si=ea91c1ef6dd14f15

Send us a textMy guest on Thrive Solo this week is the wonderful Gail Rice, a Canadian born psychologist and writer based in Sydney, Australia. Gail's work explores how the stories we carry can hold us back...or call us forward. Her writing shines a light on the unspoken stories around aging, desire, and reinvention, and she's also currently writing her memoir. Gail recently wrote an essay for The Times, also featured in the New York Times Modern Love podcast, entitled ‘I hired a male escort for my 70th Birthday'. Because that's exactly what she did. In fact, Gail didn't hire just one escort, she hired two, because the first experience was, shall we say, sub-par. As well as talking about her experience of hiring an escort at the age of 70, Gail and I also talk about some really important topics around ageing, including how so many women start to feel invisible the older they get, the particular kind of urgency that Gail feels as she moves into her later life, and the importance of mindset around ageing.02:15 Guest Introduction: Gail Rice02:46 Gail's Story: Hiring an Escort at 7005:35 The Experience and Its Impact09:05 Reflections on Ageing and Visibility17:18 Exploring Tantra and Self-Discovery20:28 Romantic History and Singlehood25:42 Regret and Life Choices33:58 Perspectives on Ageing and Urgency36:01 Reflecting on Ageing and Gratitude37:19 The Impact of Mindset on Ageing38:46 The Power of Female Community43:34 Embracing Singlehood and Overcoming Loneliness54:24 The Pressure of Anti-Ageing Culture01:00:33 The Importance of Touch and Companionship01:04:49 Celebrating Independence and Self-Discovery01:06:18 Conclusion and Final ThoughtsListen to Gail's piece: https://podcasts.apple.com/vg/podcast/i-hired-a-male-escort-for-my-70th-birthday-the-sunday-story/id1501716010?i=1000734694214Follow Gail on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/gailrice.psych.writes/?hl=enJoin Gail's Substack: https://gail263.substack.com/ Support the showBuy my book, SHINY HAPPY SINGLES (UK) / THRIVE SOLO (US & Canada) at: https://www.lucymeggeson.com/book Join my membership community for single women, Thrive Solo: https://www.lucymeggeson.com/thrivesolo Download my FREE PDF 'Top 10 Comebacks for the MostAnnoying Questions Single Women Get Asked' Go to: https://www.lucymeggeson.com/comebacks Check out my YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@thrivesolowithlucymeggeson Join my private Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1870817913309222/?ref=share Follow me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thrivesolowithlucymeggeson/ Email me: lucy@lucymeggeson.com And thank you so much for listening!

What happens when the life you've been intentionally building asks you to slow down instead of speed up?In the first episode of the year on Transform With Travel, host Kelly Tolliday shares a deeply personal, off-the-cuff conversation about growth, priorities, and choosing presence over productivity.Kelly reflects on nearly two and a half years of hosting the podcast, the lessons learned through travel, storytelling, and connection, and announces a major professional shift into her new role at Travel Kinship, where she now serves as Director of Sales and Marketing. She also shares an exciting family update, spending three months living abroad in Uruguay through Boundless Life, followed by extended travel beyond.With honesty and intention, Kelly explains her decision to place the podcast on pause for a few months, not as an ending, but as a conscious choice to honor time, focus, and family. This episode is a reminder that intentional living sometimes means stepping back, trusting the season you're in, and knowing when enough truly is enough.You will learn:Why Kelly chose to start the year without vision boards or goal-setting contentHow the podcast shaped her personal and professional growth over the last two and a half yearsWhat a travel representation company does and why Travel Kinship felt like a natural next stepHow ethical, sustainable, adventure-led travel has guided Kelly's career decisionsWhy her family chose to live abroad in Uruguay with Boundless LifeWhat global living offers children through education, community, and cultural immersionWhy time is the most valuable resource in intentional travel and intentional livingHow to recognize when it's time to pause something you loveWhy stepping back does not mean stepping away foreverWe talk about:00:00 Intro 01:00 Reflecting on two and a half years of podcasting02:00 Gratitude for listeners and the growth of the show03:00 Announcing Kelly's role at Travel Kinship04:00 What travel representation companies do05:00 Why working with on-the-ground partners matters06:00 Scaling back travel advising and shifting priorities07:00 Living abroad in Uruguay with Boundless Life08:30 World schooling, community, and slow travel with kids09:30 Referral resources and Boundless Life episodes to revisit

In this episode, we welcome Jason Finley back to the podcast to join Jeremy Chasteen and Will Jackson to discuss the most monumental and impactful events and movements of the century so far. Much has happened in the past twenty-five years (or so), and as Christians, we must process the past AND look to the future with gospel hope.

I wanted to take this first episode of 2026 to reflect on the last 104 episodes over the past almost 2 years of the show. There have been some amazing conversations and incredible humans that I've had the absolute pleasure of chatting with. I'm sharing some of the highlights and great things so many of my guests have accomplished, all during or after a cancer diagnosis. I hope you enjoy this look back and remember with me, while also looking forward to what's to come in 2026.

Disruptions in global supply chains, from trade uncertainties to the rapid integration of AI, are challenging companies to rethink their strategies. At the same time, businesses must address talent shortages, enhance workforce capabilities, and navigate an ever-evolving technological landscape. The result is a supply chain ecosystem at a pivotal moment, requiring leaders to blend policy, talent, and technology to stay competitive.In this episode of Supply Chain Now, Scott Luton is joined by Mike Griswold, Vice President Analyst at Gartner, to reflect on the state of supply chain in 2025 and beyond. Together, they explore the significant challenges and opportunities in supply chain planning, including AI adoption, talent strategy, and the impact of tariffs.Scott and Mike discuss how AI is moving from pilot to scale, helping businesses unlock significant value across sourcing and logistics. They highlight the importance of integrating AI with talent strategies to empower workers rather than replace them. The conversation also delves into the evolving role of trade policy and how companies must build it into their long-term strategy. The episode concludes with insights into navigating the complexities of modern supply chains and the imperative for businesses to embrace innovation while managing uncertainty.Jump into the conversation:(00:00) Intro(03:05) Impact of the space shuttle program(05:17) Overcoming setbacks in large-scale initiatives(07:25) Shifting from AI pilots to scaled solutions(09:11) Space exploration's unexpected byproducts for innovation(10:07) Reflecting on supply chain performance in 2025(12:42) Adapting supply chain strategies to tariffs(15:05) Balancing AI implementation with talent development(16:19) Upskilling talent in the age of AI(19:31) Evaluating AI's role in workforce reductions(21:13) Connecting AI, talent, and corporate strategies(23:24) Aligning AI and talent strategies for 2026(27:05) Supply chain leaders embracing complexity and uncertainty(34:05) Targeting AI solutions to specific business problemsAdditional Links & Resources:Connect with Mike Griswold: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mike-griswold-6a68922/Learn more about Gartner: https://www.gartner.com/enConnect with Scott Luton: https://www.linkedin.com/in/scottwindonluton/Check out Gartner's "Year in Review: Supply Chain 2025" by Stan Aronow and Wade McDaniel: https://www.gartner.com/en/supply-chain/insights/beyond-supply-chain-blog/year-in-review-supply-chain-2025Learn more about Supply Chain Now: https://supplychainnow.comWatch and listen to more

We've kicked off a lot of years on MakingChips, but never quite like this. To start 2026, we decided to try something completely different. Instead of bringing on a shop owner, a technology provider, or an industry expert, Mike and Paul invited three artificial intelligence chatbots to join the conversation. No prep calls. No talking points. Just live questions and real-time answers from Miles (from Sesame), Gemini, and ChatGPT. The result was equal parts fascinating, funny, and just a little bit eerie. In this episode, we explore what happens when you ask AI the same kinds of questions we ask manufacturing leaders every week. What should machine shops focus on in 2026? How do you increase throughput? Where is growth coming from? And can a chatbot actually understand culture, leadership, and systems inside a machine shop? Along the way, we react in real time to the different personalities and strengths of each tool. Miles sounds uncannily human and leans hard into people and culture. Gemini delivers concise, structured answers around automation and data. ChatGPT takes a broader strategic view of markets, customers, and growth opportunities. Each one brings something different to the table, and none of them sound quite the same. This episode isn't about replacing human judgment or experience. It's about curiosity. It's about new tools. And it's about kicking off the year with a reminder that learning, experimentation, and asking better questions still matter, whether those questions are aimed at a peer, a mentor, or an AI. If you're looking for a lighthearted but thought-provoking way to start 2026, this one's for you.

Endurance sports give me structure when life feels chaotic. Miles are measurable. Effort makes sense. Pain feels productive. For a while, that clarity can feel like purpose.In this episode, I zoom out on the uncomfortable truth that endurance sports have limits. The miles don't fix self-worth, resolve identity, or heal everything we try to bury under training. I talk about what happens when the goal stops working, not because of injury or burnout, but because motivation quietly expires. Through stories from the Calendar Year Triple Crown, the Great Western Loop, and learning to slow down, this is an honest look at why I chase big goals and how I'm trying to keep doing hard things for the right reasons.Sponsors: Sawyer, Janji, Garage Grown Gear, CS Instant Coffee.Support our Sponsors: Sawyer: https://www.sawyer.com/Janji (code: Freeoutside): https://snp.link/a0bfb726CS Coffee: CSinstant.coffeeGarage Grown Gear: https://snp.link/db1ba8abChapters00:00 The Journey into Endurance Sports02:58 Understanding Motivation and Its Limits12:01 The Role of Endurance Sports in Self-Discovery18:43 Finding Meaning Beyond Goals26:12 Reflecting on Personal Growth and Future DirectionsSubscribe to Substack: http://freeoutside.substack.comSupport this content on patreon: HTTP://patreon.com/freeoutsideBuy my book "Free Outside" on Amazon: https://amzn.to/39LpoSFEmail me to buy a signed copy of my book, "Free Outside" at jeff@freeoutside.comWatch the movie about setting the record on the Colorado Trail: https://tubitv.com/movies/100019916/free-outsideWebsite: www.Freeoutside.comInstagram: thefreeoutsidefacebook: www.facebook.com/freeoutside

This is the full breakdown of everything that defined 2025. From the Mad Men marathons and the deep dives into Star Trek and Pluribus, to the dental surgery recovery, hitting the big 5-0, and bringing home Vincent Von Cat. From the grind of the events industry to the highs of the stand-up stage and the community that showed up for it all, this is the final look back before we start what's next. A new podcast?

In this annual recap episode of Poised for Exit, I reflect on 2025, share what stood out over the past year, and look ahead to what is coming in 2026. I also revisit how the show began during the early days of the pandemic, how it has grown over the past five years, and why exit planning conversations continue to resonate with business owners and advisors around the world.I spend time discussing one of the questions I hear most often: how business owners can grow the value of their companies. I walk through the four intangible capitals, human, structural, customer, and social capital, and explain why these areas often represent the majority of a company's true enterprise value.I also share what listeners can expect in 2026, including new perspectives, continued conversations focused on helping owners prepare for better outcomes, and my appreciation for the 2026 sponsors who support the show and align with the values behind Poised for Exit. I look forward to another year of meaningful discussions ahead.Connect with Julie Keyes, Keyestrategies LLCFounder, Consultant, Author, Pod-caster and Instructor

I'm Gina Ryan, and I reflect on my personal journey as I navigate my first winter in Central New York after spending over two decades in the perpetual warmth of Hawaii. Moving from the lush, vibrant landscapes of Hawaii to the cold and snowy winters of New York has been a challenging yet transformative experience for me, sparking insights on the health benefits that winter can offer our nervous systems and mental health.I begin by discussing how the cold weather presents a mild, steady stressor that can unintentionally bolster our nervous systems. Each encounter with the cold, from the first sharp breath of freezing air to the challenges of navigating snow-covered pathways, acts as a form of natural exposure therapy. Instead of succumbing to panic, we are encouraged to build resilience and presence, fostering a sense of calm amid discomfort. This winter, rather than viewing the season as something to endure, I invite listeners to consider how it can teach us tolerance and mental strength, emphasizing compassion for ourselves as we adapt to environmental challenges.Moreover, winter grants us permission to embrace rest and reflection. I observe how nature instinctively slows down during this season, from the hibernation of wildlife to the way the trees withdraw. This natural pause offers us the rare opportunity to step back from our relentless productivity and find restoration in stillness. I share my own experience of improved sleep rhythms and a deeper emotional processing that arises when life becomes less hectic. In a world that often glorifies busyness, winter stands as a testament to the power of slowness and presence.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
