Being a Digital Leader - the Good, Bad AND Ugly of Digital Transformation
What does real transformation look like when the pressure is on and assumptions break? We sit down with two Currys leaders who have lived the good, the bad and the ugly of digital change and found a way to turn urgency into value. Their journeys—one from creative studios into tech delivery, the other from e‑commerce into enterprise architecture—show how curiosity, clear intent and stakeholder empathy can move mountains.We get specific about crisis execution and lasting impact. You'll hear how contactless click‑and‑collect launched in just three weeks to keep essential tech in homes, and how ShopLive evolved into RepairLive to blend human expertise with video support. We explore the less glamorous side too: when a vendor programme inflates beyond reason, the right call can be to pause, modernise what works, migrate to the cloud and simplify APIs instead of forcing a risky replacement. The same mindset guides their data centre exit, where migration methods changed as they learned more about heritage systems and business risk.Culture threads through every win. A thriving women's network that spans corporate, retail and supply chain, plus flexible hybrid working, widens the talent pool and builds psychological safety—the spark that turns whiteboards into engines for better ideas. We connect diversity to outcomes: teams that mirror customers make smarter choices, move faster and create products people actually use.Looking ahead, we dive into hyper‑personalisation beyond one‑off campaigns and the promise of GenAI to accelerate content, support and colleague tools—always paired with human empathy for complex moments. The biggest challenge? Pace. Balancing ambitious roadmaps with commercial reality, prioritising ruthlessly, and revisiting assumptions before they ossify. Expect practical lessons on stakeholder buy‑in, outcome‑led planning, and the courage to pivot when facts change.If this conversation gives you ideas for your own roadmap, share it with a colleague, hit follow, and leave a quick review—what's the smartest pivot you've made lately?Visit AND Digital's website here for the latest episodes and to stay informed.

Phil Green has had a successful career in music and sports. For what he describes as his "third act," Phil is now overseeing Follow the Music, a nonprofit in his hometown of Oakland, California. Follow the Music provides artist development, booking and management services to young artists — to shine a light on their talents and bring visibility to the programs that helped develop them. Chapters: 00:00 Introducing Phil Green and Follow the Music Bill Burke introduces Phil Green, co-founder of Follow the Music, an organization dedicated to fostering young musical talent in Oakland. Phil's extensive background in sports and music, including managing Grammy winner Fantastic Negrito, led him to create this non-profit. 02:05 From Ronnie Lott's Idea to Follow the Music Phil Green shares how a conversation with NFL Hall of Famer Ronnie Lott about a new venue sparked the idea for Follow the Music. 04:32 Fantastic Negrito's Journey and Industry Lessons Phil recounts the incredible comeback story of Fantastic Negrito, who achieved Grammy success at 50 after a major label dropped him and a severe accident. This experience highlighted the music industry's challenges and the importance of artists finding their unique voice, shaping Phil's current work with young people. 08:33 The Genesis and Mission of Follow the Music Phil elaborates on the founding of Follow the Music, emphasizing its mission to help young artists follow their true passions and express their authentic selves. 11:57 Supporting Young Artists and Community Phil explains how Follow the Music collaborates with institutions like the Oakland School for the Arts to develop and showcase young musicians. By leveraging his connections, Phil creates high-visibility opportunities for these artists at major festivals and sporting events, helping them navigate the competitive music landscape. 15:15 Inspiring Hope Through Youthful Energy Phil describes Follow the Music as more than just artist development; it's about connecting the Bay Area to support music education and celebrating the vibrant spirit of young artists. He believes their courage and vulnerability offer hope and inspiration in a divided world, marking his 'third act' dedicated to empowering the next generation. 23:17 Oakland Rising at the Kennedy Center Phil shares the powerful story of Oakland Rising's performance at the Kennedy Center, where the group faced a dilemma due to prior boycotts. Half the band chose to perform as a trio, displaying incredible grace and mutual support despite differing opinions, delivering a stunning and emotionally charged performance. 27:39 Resilience and Reinvention in Oakland Phil addresses the challenges faced by Oakland, including the departure of major sports teams, but emphasizes the city's pride and resilience. He expresses optimism about the burgeoning arts and culture scene and new community-focused sports teams like the Oakland Ballers, which are rebuilding the city's vibrant spirit from the ground up. 31:16 Music's Transformational Power and Life Skills Phil clarifies that Follow the Music's primary goal isn't just to produce professional musicians but to illuminate the transformational power of music for personal growth. He highlights how music education, much like sports, teaches discipline, teamwork, and perseverance, filling a vital gap in youth development. 36:18 Future Vision and Lasting Impact Phil sees Follow the Music as a model for other cities, aiming to uplift existing music education programs rather than replicate them. He reflects on the deep personal reward of helping young people navigate the future through music, emphasizing that the impact on their lives has far surpassed his initial expectations.

Send me a messageMost people never think about industrial heat. Yet half of all manufacturing emissions come from it. My guest this week, Addison Stark, CEO and co-founder of AtmosZero, is on a mission to electrify one of the dirtiest, most overlooked pieces of infrastructure on Earth: the steam boiler.In this episode, Addison and I uncover how a technology unchanged since the 1860s can finally go clean. We talk about the hidden carbon footprint of steam, why “waste heat recovery” can actually slow progress, and how heat-pump boilers can cut industrial energy use in half while delivering zero-emission steam. You'll hear how his team's first installation at a Colorado brewery is already brewing beer with carbon-free heat, proof that decarbonisation doesn't have to mean disruption.We also explore the bigger picture: how electrified heat could transform everything from food and pharma to chemicals and cosmetics, why Europe's gas crisis is accelerating the shift, and what policy tweaks could make clean steam the default everywhere.If you've ever wondered how to decarbonise the “hard-to-abate” sectors, this is the episode you've been waiting for.

Reinvention periods in your life are all about self-reflection, growth, and evolution. And one of the clearest signs that it's time for change is when you finally realize you've been the fixer. You're the one everyone turns to for comfort, solutions, and support. It's a role you've played so well your entire life. You tell yourself you're just being a good person, but the truth is, you've become the ultimate enabler. And it's not really about helping others it's about easing your own anxiety and the discomfort that comes from not feeling safe. In today's episode, we're diving into why being the fixer isn't actually helping, and how to start breaking that pattern so you can shift the focus back to your own growth, peace, and healing.

Creating with purpose in a changing digital world, behind-the-scenes of running Ambitious Kitchen for 14 years, and managing burnout with Monique Volz. ----- Welcome to episode 544 of The Food Blogger Pro Podcast! This week on the podcast, Bjork interviews Monique Volz from Ambitious Kitchen. Monique Volz On Reinventing Ambitious Kitchen Over 14 Years Monique launched Ambitious Kitchen in 2011 as a passion project and now it has grown into her full-time business (with several employees) and a New York Times bestselling cookbook (and another cookbook on the way). In this interview, Monique shares how she has adapted to all of the changes in the food creator landscape over the last 14 years, how her priorties and definition of success have changed, and the different "eras" of her business. Due in part to an incredible season of growth during the pandemic, by 2022, Monique was burned-out. The pressure of keeping up with constant content demands — especially in the age of TikTok and Reels — prompted her to take a step back and refocus. She shifted away from the pursuit of virality, re-centered her creative goals, and leaned into the process of writing her first cookbook. In recent years, Monique has downsized her team so that she can focus on creating content (as opposed to managing a team) and returned to what she loves most: creating from a place of joy. Three episode takeaways: Building a brand takes time and adaptability — Monique spent years balancing her blog with a full-time job before taking her site full-time. In this interview, she chats about the combination of hustle, constant learning, and "right time right place" that led to the success of Ambitious Kitchen. Burnout is real, even when you're doing what you love — The constant pressure to create high-performing content eventually led Monique to reevaluate her approach and change her relationship with social media. Reinvention is essential in a changing industry — By reducing her team size, walking away from YouTube, and refocusing on meaningful content (like her cookbooks!), Monique is embracing a new chapter that aligns more closely with her values.

Total THB has always felt like a living piece of your imagination—something that evolved alongside you. Now that you're returning to it after thirty years, what does it mean to finally see it presented as the definitive version you always envisioned?7. In your introduction, you mention artists like Bruegel, Motherwell, and Rodin alongside Kirby, Moebius, and Miyazaki. That's a fascinating cross-section of influences—how do you see Total THB sitting at the intersection of those worlds now?2. In your introduction, you talk about the seed idea—“small things exploding into big things.” How has that core concept shaped your storytelling and visual philosophy across your entire career, and how does it feel to return to it now with decades of experience behind you?8. Total THB is set on a divided Mars, a world of art versus bureaucracy, chaos versus control. Given how global politics and culture have evolved since the '90s, do you see new relevance—or new warnings—in the story's setting and themes?5. The relationship between HR and THB—the sheltered daughter and her enigmatic bodyguard—feels both intimate and mythic. How do you see their dynamic now, and what new layers do you hope readers discover in this remastered edition?6. You've described superheroes before as modern myths — figures that blend pulp with poetry. Having moved between corporate superhero universes and your own creator-owned worlds, what do you think mainstream superhero comics could still learn from the spirit of self-publishing that birthed THB*?*
Emily Blaschke is a Portland Art Gallery artist whose mixed-media assemblages transform found objects into vibrant, layered stories. In this conversation with Dr. Lisa Belisle, Emily shares how her art evolved from figurative work at UC Berkeley to the richly textural collages she now creates in Maine.

With roots that stretch back to Down East Magazine, founded by her grandfather, Emily has deep ties to Maine's creative community and now helps foster it through her work with Yarmouth Arts and the Portland Museum of Art. Her pieces invite discovery, joy, and connection, reminding us that beauty can be found in what others leave behind. Join our conversation with Emily Blaschke today on Radio Maine.

Cristiano Ronaldo BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Cristiano Ronaldo's life off and on the pitch has generated more headlines than most superstars manage in a career, and the past days have been no exception. Fresh off a candid sit-down with Piers Morgan for an interview set to air in early November, the 40-year-old Al Nassr icon has opened up with remarkable transparency about retirement, legacy, and what comes next. According to the Times of India and Piers Morgan's own announcement on X, this latest interview promises to be the most revealing yet, with Ronaldo confirming he's preparing for the end of his legendary career—“Soon, I think I will be prepared,” he remarked, adding that while it will be tough and emotional, he's been bracing for this moment since his mid-20s. He even admitted, “Probably I will cry, yes,” but reassured fans he's eager for life after football, especially more time with his family, his children, and new pursuits like business, UFC, and padel—though he ruled out becoming a YouTuber, playfully teasing that he wants to try “funny things I've never done before.”On the World Cup, Ronaldo's tone has notably shifted. After Portugal's heartbreaking exit in Qatar, he called lifting the trophy his “most ambitious dream,” but in this new interview, reported by Hindustan Times and GhanaWeb, he now downplays its significance, arguing it's unfair to judge a player's greatness by just one tournament. This reversal has drawn both criticism and sympathy on social media, with some fans seeing it as acceptance—or even frustration—after seeing his longtime rival Lionel Messi finally claim the prize.Meanwhile, Ronaldo's business empire continues to hum. He's now officially a billionaire, a milestone he confirmed to Piers Morgan, though he insists money is no longer the driving force. He's extended his Al Nassr contract through 2027, per Sportskeeda, and remains the face of Saudi football, even as he jokes about Riyadh's “terrible” traffic and his preference for a chauffeur over sitting behind the wheel—a rare, relatable quip unearthed by Sport Bible.Family remains central: his son, Cristiano Ronaldo Jr., has debuted for Portugal's U16s, a proud moment Ronaldo likely attended in person, given reports he's prioritizing family time. On the pitch, his next significant match is against FC Goa in Riyadh, according to OB News, keeping him in the spotlight for Indian fans.On social media, Ronaldo teased the Morgan interview with a cryptic photo captioned with just two eyes, sparking speculation and excitement among his 600 million-plus followers. As for Manchester United, he still follows their results wistfully, telling Morgan he's “sad” to see the club's decline but hopeful for a turnaround.In all, these days have shown a Ronaldo in transition—an icon aware his playing days are numbered, candid about his emotions, and already scripting the next act.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

Plus, Caroline reveals she's working on a new podcast to share her story even further, and gives advice to fellow aspiring musicians: stay true to yourself, focus on what you love, and let your art resonate authentically. Whether you're an indie musician, a fan of genuine artist stories, or looking for inspiration to overcome obstacles and pursue your passion, this episode is full of raw, empowering moments you won't want to miss.

After a thriving business career, Lynn returned to acting at 55, now starring in the film Vases and co-producing Magdalena's Land. She shares her journey of trusting her inner voice, letting go of self-doubt, and stepping into a new chapter with courage and grace.Together, we dive into what it takes to:Reclaim your power and rewrite your story after decades of “shoulds.”Build self-worth that isn't tied to age, appearance, or others' approval.Set boundaries that create freedom instead of guilt.Approach aging as an expansion of purpose, vitality, and wisdom.If you've ever felt the tug of change but questioned whether it's “too late,” this conversation will remind you—it's never too late to begin again.

What if the very foundation of your marketing cloud, the one you've spent years building, is at worst actually giving your AI amnesia, and at best missing key opportunities to connect with your customers? Agility requires more than just reacting quickly; it demands an intelligent foundation that can anticipate customer needs and empower your teams to act on them with confidence and precision. Today, we're going to talk about the AI-driven reinvention of marketing. For years, marketing clouds have promised a unified view of the customer and personalized engagement, but many leaders are still struggling with fragmented systems, disconnected data, and unpredictable costs. Now, the demands of AI are exposing the foundational cracks in that legacy architecture, forcing a fundamental shift in how we think about the relationship between data, intelligence, and execution. To help me discuss this topic, I'd like to welcome, Kaz Ohta, CEO and Karen Wood, CMO at Treasure Data.

What if reinvention isn't about doing more at all? What if it's about doing less? In this episode, I share the deeper truth about personal growth: that the most profound change often begins with subtraction, not striving to do more. Drawing from my own recent season of reinvention, I explore how letting go — of identities, expectations, and incompletions — creates the space for your most authentic self to emerge. When you stop forcing what no longer fits, you stop living from effort and start living from essence. What we explore: The difference between striving for change and allowing transformation Why letting go can feel radical but is actually the most natural thing How "incompletions" quietly drain energy and block your evolution Three gentle ways to begin releasing what no longer serves you Why stillness is not stagnation — it's the birthplace of reinvention This isn't about becoming someone new. It's about remembering who you are beneath the layers of doing, proving, and performing. Reinvention becomes simple when you stop chasing it and start listening to what's ready to fall away.

Happy Mindful Monday, Everyone!In this week's episode, our host Allie Brooke interviews the amazing Michelle Hensley.Following the passing of her husband, Michelle found herself at a significant crossroads in life, transitioning from a lengthy career in the non-profit sector at the age of 51. She faced the challenge of providing for her family as a single mother with homeschooling teenagers still under her care. She recognized that traditional corporate roles offered inflexible schedules that clashed with her new responsibilities and sought a new path.This journey led to the birth of Nifty Package Co. in 2015. This endeavor became her way of transforming personal adversity into an opportunity to empower women and foster creativity in a family-friendly environment. Academically, she holds two Master's degrees—one in Business and one in Counseling. These degrees have equipped her with the discipline necessary to run a successful business, coupled with a deep understanding of the human spirit, which is further enriched by her Christian faith.
