This week on Two Parents & A Podcast, we're diving into power dynamics in relationships (we call them power points - Jules thought we were talking about Microsoft LMAO), weaning from breastfeeding (T-4 weeks), and what it's like parenting near family (spoiler alert: we're sleeping!!)  Before all that - Air Canada flight attendants were striking (yes, we're still in Vancouver), and we've got some updated Canada recs for your next trip (don't worry, no chains this time… maybe). Then get into the whole process of weaning from breastfeeding/pumping (and if it's the final frontier to feel like yourself again postpartum).  Plus: the age-old stain debate (are you a blotter or a rubber?), Skechers made a shoe with a secret AirTag pocket (actually kind of genius - but the internet is mad), a Ryanair flight meltdown over a crying baby, and the kids' product that somehow reinvented the landline. Oh, and wait until you hear about the subscription service that had us in shock (mostly because like can we stop making a subscription for everything!!!?).  LOVE YOU GUYS!!!

On this episode of the Scouting For Growth podcast, Sabine VdL talks to Mike Gulla, CEO of Adaptive Insurance, whose team is redefining what it means to be resilient in an era of climate uncertainty and operational volatility. We'll explore why now is the time for parametric and adaptive insurance, what inspired the creation of Adaptive, and how emerging technologies like AI, big data, and cloud computing are transforming the insurance landscape. KEY TAKEAWAYS          Mike started Adaptive in early 2024 to help businesses build financial resilience against climate change, using parametric-style products and unique data assets. Starting a business comes with many challenges – revenue planning, product selection, and insurance. Our focus is helping owners understand how environmental factors like extreme weather or business interruptions could impact them over time. Power outages show that even with backup systems, grid failures can cause major disruptions – from dark streets to reduced customer traffic. As climate shifts, populations are moving into areas with new weather risks. My focus is on creating innovative insurance products that turn these challenges into opportunities for good BEST MOMENTS ‘The consumer needs knowledge to understand what the things are that are ultimately going to impact their business.' ‘Speed is huge, which is why we use parametric products, a business owner needs to be able to make a decision very quickly after an event occurs. When you combine knowledge with speed it helps them make a better decision for their business.' The insurance industry has suffered from how fast things have changed.' ‘Parametric insurance products are similar to streaming services in that they allow the consumer a new opportunity to have access to a different type of coverage that specifically focusses on something that might impact their business.' ABOUT THE GUESTS Mike Gulla, CEO and Co-Founder of Adaptive Insurance, has over 20 years of experience in the insurance industry and is passionate about transforming how insurance works by leveraging technology and innovative strategies. His career is marked by a commitment to making insurance more adaptive, efficient, and customer focused.

The conversation dives deep into managing negative self-talk, learning from failure, and scaling a business without losing your soul. If you've ever wrestled with imposter syndrome or struggled to ask for what you're worth—this episode is your playbook. Key Takeaways: Why fear of asking is often rooted in our self-worth stories How to turn rejection into fuel for growth and not shame The FLIP framework to know when it's time to pivot “Good enough” is often the secret to moving forward How to blend corporate polish with entrepreneurial grit Tactical strategies for shameless (and effective) self-promotion Creative ways to scale one-on-one coaching into broader impact Why failure is not only necessary—but worth celebrating How to stop maximizing and start satisficing for better decisions Why courageous decisions often come from personal pain Action Steps: Write down one fear-based belief you're telling yourself and reframe it.

Set a timer and reach out to one person about your business, product, or offer. Quote: "Success doesn't come from avoiding rejection—it comes from surviving it and rewriting the story you tell yourself about it."

In der neuen Folge von "ISM Perspectives on…" diskutieren wir die Frage, wie zukunftsfähige Führung angesichts eines zunehmend komplexer und volatiler werdenden Umfelds aussehen kann.

At a recent Cabernet Sauvignon tasting in Los Angeles at the famed Republique restaurant, I spied this cool cat pouring off some aged wines. In that I fancy myself as a off-beat jacket guy, I had to engage Ron as to the provenance of not his wines, but of his jacket. And that is when the story began to unfold. Naturally, on the next trip to Napa, I had to get the whole story on the podcast. And here it is. Ron Nicholsen is the kind of vintner who makes you wonder if patience truly is a virtue—or just a wild gamble in the wine world. In this episode, you'll uncork the remarkable journey of a winemaker who dares to hold back his Cabernet for a full decade before release and whose devotion to authenticity runs deeper than sediment at the bottom of a hand-aged bottle. You'll hear how Ron's childhood, shaped by a grape-growing family and the steady, idiosyncratic hand of his stepfather, set the stage for an unconventional, legacy-driven pursuit: crafting age-worthy Napa Valley wines that aren't just tasted, but experienced. From his first steps at Camus under suspender-clad Charlie Wagner to the invaluable lessons at Spring Mountain and Cane Cellars, Ron's story is one of grape-to-glass transformation, family dynamics, and taking risks most wouldn't dare. Paul Kalemkiarian guides the conversation with the insight of someone who's seen a hundred thousand wines cross his glass, probing the economic and emotional weight of aging wines for years while resisting the fruit-forward trends dominating Napa's mainstream. Listeners will come away with an understanding of what it means to champion an “unblended, independent product” and the philosophy behind refusing to rush a wine to market—all while weathering personal and business upheaval. Expect to learn how terroir, tradition, and a stubborn sense of pride fuse into a singular tasting experience, why Ron believes fine wine is a three-dimensional, not a two-dimensional, pleasure, and how legacy can be bottled, aged, and passed down—one thoughtful vintage at a time. Some thoughts:

Unable to find anything like it back home in Portland, he and his wife Lory turned their kitchen into a lab (with help from Oregon State's food incubator) — and later, their tot mission into a movement. But this isn't just a food story. It's a comeback story. After losing ‘everything' in a business betrayal, the Caldwell's literally started from scratch. They spent 15 months hand-making 2,000 tots a week — simultaneously feeding the homeless in partnership with the Oregon Food Bank. Alongside their two daughters, they turned hardship into purpose and passion. Fast forward to today! The Stuft Tots™ story now includes: ·      Winner of Convenience Store News 2024's Best New Product Award! ·      Loved by high schoolers in Alameda CA School District (8700 students' approval) ·      Blew the doors off a Holiday Station Stores test run — selling out 40,000 lbs. of tots in 6 days ·      Now powered by high-speed “co-extruder” machines in a booming Las Vegas production facility ·      Soon to be in stadiums, schools, coffee chains, and convenience outlets nationwide   Stephen's motto? “If everybody waited for money to start a business, no businesses would be started.” AND check out Stephen's Feature Story in the June issue of the Food Industry's Premier News Source: “Total Food Service” a fantastic publication published by Fred Klashman which features exclusive Q&A Interviews with influential chefs, hospitality trendsetters, and foodservice operators, as well as the latest foodservice industry news on products, trends, associations, and events.   Stephen Caldwell's inspiring journey is a powerful reminder to - as I always say… “Risk it! or Regret it!” And trust me — once you try Stuft Tots™, you can't un-taste the magic.   I loved this guy's passion, comeback story and his Stuft Tots™ so much I'm want to help him succeed by helping him expand.  If you'd like a personal introduction to Stephen just direct message me and I'll set it up asap. Want to be one of the first to bring them to your school, stadium, store, or bar/restaurant? Get in touch.

For decades, hydraulic fracturing—or fracking—has relied heavily on water and sand to crack underground rock and release oil and gas. Fracking is safe, proven, and reliable, and in collaboration with horizontal drilling, has resulted in the huge growth in hydro carbon production in the US and Canada.    But fresh water is a scarce resource particularly in arid settings, and in many places under stress because of climate change. Disposal of used water is a technical challenge and costly. The sand resource, or proppant, is both costly to mine and heavy to ship. The mechanical process of forcing water and sand under pressure down the wells and into the rock generates a substantial carbon footprint.    Enter RocketFrac, a Calgary-based innovator using solid rocket fuel to crack the status quo.   Unlike conventional fracking, RocketFrac's technology eliminates the need for water and sand, which dramatically lowers carbon emissions and site disturbance. This self-propping, solid-fuel-based technique also opens up economically stranded assets, including abandoned or underperforming wells, with potential applications in water-stressed regions like California and the Middle East. It's an innovation that could redefine the economics and environmental impact of oil extraction.   In this episode I speak with Pavan Elapavuluri, Chief Technology Officer at RocketFrac, to hear firsthand about the origin of RocketFrac's solution, the physics behind the technology, its regulatory journey, and the digital tools they're using to model outcomes and rank well candidates. From carbon offsets to offshore potential, this episode is an explosive look at what could be the next big leap in oilfield operations.   And yes, those puns are all intended!    ⸻

Let's be honest—today's job search often feels like shouting into the void.In Part Three, Mary Shea—former General Manager at HireQuotient and co-CEO at Mediafly—tackles the modern job market from both sides of the table. She pulls back the curtain on how AI is reshaping recruitment: from sourcing passive candidates to fighting unconscious bias, automating outreach, and uncovering overlooked talent. But this isn't a tech sales pitch—Mary gets real about what AI can't do (like fix a broken candidate experience) and why human empathy still matters most.Whether you're a recruiter overwhelmed by applications or a job seeker ghosted by someone half your age, this episode is your career compass for a chaotic hiring landscape.Key Highlights of Our Interview:AI That Actually Helps Recruiters Breathe“We offload 75% of the workload—so recruiters can stop drowning in admin and start connecting again.”Talent Hiding in Plain Sight“Using multiple data sources, we find candidates others miss—especially underrepresented voices skipped by bots.”When the Résumé Lies—or Leaves Too Much Out“Some of the best candidates don't list everything. That's where smart prompting and human judgment must align.”Automation ≠ Apathy“Done right, AI doesn't depersonalize the process—it gives recruiters more time to be human.”Recruiting for the C-Suite? Yes, AI Can Help There Too“I used it to hire my Chief Customer Officer. Diverse candidates, faster process, better outcome.”The Real Human Cost of Getting It Wrong“First impressions matter. A bad recruiting experience damages more than the candidate—it hurts your brand.”Vince Shares His Story—And It Hits HomeA real-life example of age bias, HR tech gone wrong, and why leadership still requires presence and respect.Mary's Advice to Job Seekers“Be granular. Use LinkedIn wisely. But never forget—every opportunity still starts with a relationship.”Networking Isn't Dead—You're Just Doing It Wrong“In-person, virtual, or omnichannel—connect deeply, not just digitally. That's how humans hire.”_________________________Connect with us:Host: Vince Chan | Guest: Mary Shea PhD  --Chief Change Officer--Change Ambitiously.

Is two better than one?In Part Two of this series, Mary Shea—former co-CEO of Mediafly and former General Manager at Hire Quotient—shares how she navigated one of the most unconventional leadership models in business: co-CEOship. From building trust with her co-leader to balancing responsibilities across time zones and product lines, Mary unpacks the human side of shared power—and why mutual respect beats ego every time.She also explores how AI is transforming sales effectiveness, not just efficiency, and why today's revenue teams need to look more like collaborative ecosystems than traditional hierarchies. Plus: what every leader can learn from marriage, tennis, and the occasional business referee.Key Highlights of Our Interview:AI for Sales: More Than Speed, It's Strategy“We're not replacing reps—we're freeing them up for high-impact work. That's the real ROI of AI.”The Death of the 80/20 Rule?“With smarter tools, smaller teams can do more. We're heading toward 80% of sellers driving 100% of revenue.”AI as a Coach, Not a Crutch“Think of AI as a coach on your shoulder. Helpful, but never a substitute for personalization or judgment.”Behind the Scenes of Co-CEO Life“It works because we trust each other. We split duties, share a vision, and treat decisions like a dialogue—not a turf war.”The Marriage Metaphor (Yes, It Fits)“Being a co-CEO is like a professional marriage. You need communication, shared values—and sometimes an executive coach.”Slower Decisions, Stronger Outcomes“We may debate more than solo CEOs. But those debates lead to smarter, more resilient choices.”When the Umpire Steps In“If we hit an impasse, we turn to our board and investors. Every partnership needs a higher court.”Scaling Without Silos“We empower leaders as mini-CEOs—but only if we keep the org aligned. Otherwise, remote work just breeds islands.”The Bigger Game: Building Equity Through Leadership“AI, revenue, strategy—it all comes back to who gets to lead. And how we help more people rise.”_________________________Connect with us:Host: Vince Chan | Guest: Mary Shea PhD  --Chief Change Officer--Change Ambitiously.

Mary Shea didn't follow a traditional path. She composed her own.In Part One of this three-part series, Mary walks us through the bold decisions that took her from professional oboist to PhD to sales analyst—and eventually to co-CEO of Mediafly. Along the way, she's picked up more than titles: she's developed a philosophy that blends intellectual rigor, creative play, and social equity.She opens up about what it's like to enter the business world a decade “behind” her peers, the financial freedom sales can offer underrepresented leaders, and how she's helping build not just tech products—but leadership pipelines that reflect the real world. This episode is for anyone thinking of switching lanes, catching up, or starting over.Key Highlights of Our Interview:From Mexico to Management: Her Unlikely Start“I played oboe in symphonies, earned a PhD in musicology—and then started over in sales.”Sales as a Social Equalizer“If you're good at it, you can rewrite your life. It gave me the power to fund causes, uplift others, and lead on my own terms.”Behind, But Not for Long“I came into business 10 years behind my peers. That lit a fire—I moved fast, and I moved with purpose.”Creating the Playbook, Not Just Following It“I need intellectual stimulation. Managing is fine, but building strategy? That's what lights me up.”Enabling Others Is the New Power Move“My role now is to empower my team like mini-CEOs. Their wins are my metric.”Scaling With a Human Lens“We acquired five companies in under two years—not to show off, but to build something smarter, faster, and more inclusive.”Pushing for True Diversity in Sales“Only one-third of B2B sellers are women. That has to change—and I'm using my platform to help drive it.”Mediafly's Mission: More Than Sales Enablement“From revenue intelligence to buyer engagement, we're building the full tech stack—without losing sight of people.”_________________________Connect with us:Host: Vince Chan | Guest: Mary Shea PhD  --Chief Change Officer--Change Ambitiously.

Welcome to The Not Old Better Show, Smithsonian Associates Interview Series. on radio and podcast. I'm Paul Vogelzang, and today, we're talking about something that affects every single one of us—aging. But not just the personal experience of getting older. We're talking about how old age itself was invented—how retirement, security, and dignity in later life were shaped by policies, culture, and economics, and why, for many, those promises now feel uncertain. My guest today is Smithsonian Associate, historian James Chappel, author of the remarkable new book, available at Apple Books Golden Years: How Americans Invented and Reinvented Old Age. Dr. James Chappel will be appearing at Smithsonian Associates coming up. The title of his presentation is The Golden Years. Please check out our show notes today for details. It's an eye-opening look at how, for much of history, Americans worked until their final breath. Then, with Social Security, employer pensions, and rising prosperity, a new era of retirement emerged—one that allowed millions to live out their later years in security. But that era is fading. Today, older Americans are working longer, facing financial precarity, and navigating a system that feels increasingly fragile. James Chappel unpacks how we got here, the figures—both celebrated and forgotten—who shaped the story, and the pop culture that influenced how we see aging, from The Golden Girls to Grace and Frankie. He also challenges us to rethink the future. Should we accept the instability of old age as inevitable? Or is there a better way forward? This conversation is about history, but it's also about us—our parents, our children, and the future we want to build. So stay with us, as we dive into Golden Years with Smithsonian Associate, historian James Chappel. My thanks to Smithsonian Associate, historian James Chappel, author of the remarkable new book, available at Apple Books Golden Years: How Americans Invented and Reinvented Old Age.
