In Episode 306, Kelly Kennedy reconnects with Mckinley Hyland, founder of Maverick NDT Inspection Inc. and the very first guest in the history of The Business Development Podcast, for a raw and grounded conversation about Alberta, Oil and Gas, and the people who make the industry work. Mckinley shares the reality behind high-paying field work, from long rotations and time away from family to the quiet sacrifices that define life in Alberta's energy sector. This episode isn't about politics or complaints. It's about resilience, responsibility, and the work ethic that Albertans carry with pride.The conversation explores why Mckinley chose entrepreneurship as a way to regain control of his time, how building Maverick NDT became a legacy project rooted in family, and what “Alberta Strong” truly means when lived day to day. From sleeping in trucks and riding out downturns to leading teams through uncertainty and putting people first, this episode offers a powerful example of Alberta through the lens of lived experience, leadership, and quiet strength.Learn more about Maverick NDT Inspection Inc., an Alberta-based non-destructive testing company helping industrial clients improve safety, quality, and efficiency through innovative inspection solutions at https://www.maverickndt.ca.Key Takeaways:1. Alberta Strong means you do the job when it's hard, not when it's convenient, and you stay proud without needing applause.2. In oil and gas, you're often paid as much for your absence as your effort, and that trade-off is real for families.3. Time is the one asset nobody can buy back, so the smartest leaders build their life around it before it's gone.4. The unseen heroes are the partners at home, because they carry the full load when the work pulls you away.5. Entrepreneurship is often a decision to regain control, not chase status, and for Mckinley it was the only way to be truly present with his family.6. Relationships aren't a nice-to-have in volatile industries, they're what keeps you alive when the market turns and everyone gets squeezed.7. Trust beats slogans every time, because anyone can claim “quality and safety,” but only consistent behavior earns loyalty.8. The oil patch can shape you fast, and if you don't build discipline early, the lifestyle can drag you into habits that cost more than money.9. Resilience is built by repeated uncertainty, and Alberta entrepreneurs are forced to adapt because the ground shifts again and again.10. Innovation is a survival advantage, and Maverick's push toward AI and computed radiography shows how Alberta companies can set the pace instead of just keeping up.2026 Title Sponsor
On this episode of Vitality Radio, Jared launches a new series called Extraordinary Herbs, starting with one of the most widely used—and misunderstood—herbs today: ashwagandha. You'll learn how to use ashwagandha effectively in the real world, why extract type matters, how the most popular forms differ, and what actually determines results for different people. Jared breaks down what modern human research shows, as well as how this herb was traditionally used. Often labeled as the “de-stress herb,” ashwagandha shines as so much more! It supports healthy cortisol signaling, influencing sleep quality, hormone balance, exercise recovery, cognitive function, immune resilience, and thyroid health through the HPA axis. This episode breaks it all down without hype or confusion. Products:Sensoril AshwagandhaVital SleepAnxiety ReleaseMan Up!Man Up!

Is creativity something we should encourage or control? In this episode of Facing the Dark, Dr. Kathy Koch and Wayne Stender explore the powerful role creativity plays in children's development and why time in nature may be one of the most underutilized tools parents have. Drawing from research, real parenting questions, and a biblical vision of creativity rooted in God's design, they unpack how imagination builds resilience, flexibility, and character, not chaos. From imaginary play and boredom to stress relief and problem-solving, this conversation reframes creativity as more than art projects or talent, it's a vital part of how kids learn to engage the real world well. If you've ever wondered whether letting your kids roam, wonder, or "get creative" is helping or hurting them, this episode will bring clarity, encouragement, and practical wisdom for raising kids who are both grounded and imaginative.

In this episode of the Sisterhood of Sweat, Linda Mitchell sits down with Dr. Joy Kong, MD — triple board-certified physician, stem cell specialist, educator, author, and founder of Chara Health USA — for a powerful conversation about healing, resilience, and the courage to never shrink your light. Dr. Joy explains how ketamine therapy, when used therapeutically, can support brain regeneration, enhance neural connections, and help rewire the brain after trauma. She shares how ketamine increases brain-derived neurotrophic factor, promotes new synapse formation, and can support emotional healing when used responsibly in a clinical setting. The conversation explores how ketamine can be paired with stem cell therapy to reduce inflammation, support neurological repair, and promote deep, long-term healing. The discussion also turns to skincare and aging from a regenerative perspective. Dr. Joy shares the personal story behind creating her stem cell–inspired face cream, Chara Omni, explaining how it combines umbilical cord–derived regenerative factors, peptides, and powerful botanical ingredients. Her goal was to create a clean, non-toxic product that truly works — supporting collagen production, reducing pigmentation, and improving skin health without hormone-disrupting or harmful chemicals. Dr. Joy also shares her top non-negotiables for youthful, healthy skin at any age, including eating clean, avoiding toxins, moving your body consistently, prioritizing sleep, and cultivating a mindset rooted in gratitude. She emphasizes that gratitude alone can shift your physiology, energy, and overall well-being. Linda and Dr. Joy then dive into the powerful story behind her memoir, Tiger of Beijing. Dr. Joy recounts growing up in China with limited access to education and opportunity, her visa rejection in 1992, and the fierce determination that drove her to claw her way toward possibility. She explains the "tiger spirit" — a refusal to shrink, accept limits, or let fear take over — that ultimately helped her reach the United States and build a life devoted to healing and purpose. She also opens up about the second half of her story, sharing how she found the strength to leave an abusive relationship and why protecting your spirit is just as important as chasing your dreams. Her message to women is clear: do not dim your light, do not shrink yourself, and do not let fear take you out of the game. This episode is a powerful reminder that healing is possible, resilience can be cultivated, and your story — no matter how difficult — can become a source of strength.

The entrepreneurial journey can be one of the most rewarding paths—or the loneliest—depending on how you walk it. In this episode, David Phelps sits down with longtime friend, keynote speaker, and author Tony Rubleski to explore what it really takes to keep going when motivation fades and progress feels slow. Centered around Tony's new book, Don't Quit: 50 Lessons From the Pages and Stages of Life, this conversation unpacks why discipline, not inspiration, is what carries people through the hardest seasons. Together, David and Tony talk candidly about reinvention, forgiveness, gratitude, and the unseen struggles behind long-term success. From entrepreneurship myths and burnout to asking for more, following up, and managing regret, this episode is a powerful reminder that freedom is forged by showing up—especially on the days you don't feel like it.

Legendary DJ, Producer and Hip Hop Icon DJ Enuff joins Gracias, Come Again for one of our most powerful, emotional, and joy filled conversations yet. This is an episode where we laugh, cry, reminisce, give flowers, and openly thank the people who supported our careers and personal lives when it mattered most. DJ Enuff takes us back to his upbringing, early life, and school days, including the very first piece of DJ equipment he ever touched. He shares the unforgettable story of how he got his first set of turntables while working at Nathan’s Hot Dogs, literally wearing a hot dog suit, a true New York hustle story. From there, we dive into Latinos in Hip-Hop from day one and how community, culture, and music shaped his journey. We talk about how he became the legendary DJ for The Notorious B.I.G., including never before heard stories about how they met, what Enuff did for Biggie before officially becoming his DJ, and the moment he played a Biggie record on the radio that caused Sean Combs to call him ranting and raving. Despite it all, Enuff went on to tour with Biggie, forming a deep bond and lifelong friendship. The conversation also highlights the founding of the world renowned Heavy Hitters, and the importance of representation, including moments where Enuff shares feeling like he was not Latino enough while being fully immersed in hip hop culture, and how fellow DJs helped keep him connected to Latino music and identity. One of the most moving parts of the episode is our shared discussion about surviving strokes, recovery, and the vital role caregivers played in helping DJ Enuff relearn how to DJ, rebuild his confidence, and reclaim his place as one of New York’s most respected DJ legends. We also talk family. Enuff opens up about his son Riot USA, a successful producer who works with Ice Spice, and how he only realized his son was an artist after attending one of his performances. It’s a full circle moment about legacy, pride, and generational impact. To close it out, DJ Enuff shares what’s next for him in 2026, including launching his own podcast, producing more music, potentially collaborating with his Father & son, and writing his biography, which is already in motion. This episode is a masterclass in resilience, culture, friendship, and hip hop history. A must listen for anyone who loves New York, radio, and the roots of Hip Hop culture.

In this powerful episode, Laura is joined by Dr. Keisha Bentley-Edwards, Associate Professor at Duke University's School of Medicine and Co-Director of Duke CTSI Center for Research, Community Engagement, Social Impact and Trust (CREST Center), for a timely conversation on rethinking resilience. Inspired by Dr. Bentley-Edwards' article "I Am Not (Your) Superwoman, Black Girl Magic, or Beautiful Struggle: Rethinking the Resilience of Black Women and Girls," this episode explores the cultural narratives that celebrate Black women's strength while often ignoring the profound physical, emotional, and psychological costs of relentless resilience. Together, Laura and Keisha unpack the tensions between pride in endurance, cultural expectations like the "Strong Black Woman," and the growing body of research showing how these narratives contribute to health inequities across the lifespan. Dr. Bentley-Edwards offers insight into how expectations of resilience often begin in childhood for Black girls, shaping adult experiences of stress, coping, and wellbeing. The conversation moves beyond critique toward possibility—imagining models of resilience that center sustainable wellness, community care, and structural accountability, rather than individual endurance alone. Dr. Bentley-Edwards also reflects on what Black women can do in service of themselves and Black girls, and what we must collectively demand from systems, institutions, and leaders. Anchored in Season 8's theme, "Leaning Into Joy," this episode invites listeners to consider how joy, rest, alignment, and community are not indulgences, but essential counterweights to harmful expectations of strength. About Dr. Keisha Dr. Keisha Bentley-Edwards is an Associate Professor at Duke University's School of Medicine and Co-Director of Duke CTSI Center for Research, Community Engagement, Social Impact and Trust (CREST Center). She is also the Associate Director of Research for the Samuel DuBois Cook Center on Social Equity.

Design was supposed to be creative work. For a lot of designers, it's turned into endurance. In this episode, I'm joined by Vivianne Castillo to unpack how corporate design culture quietly rewards burnout, why endurance gets mistaken for professionalism, and how designers can start reclaiming creativity, agency, and choice.What if the behaviors that made you successful in design are the same ones slowly disconnecting you from yourself?Design culture loves to celebrate resilience, but too often what's really being rewarded is endurance: tolerating vague feedback, late pivots, constant urgency, and emotional labor without complaint. In this conversation, Vivianne Castillo shares why so many designers feel drained, disconnected, and quietly shrinking inside roles that were supposed to be creative and human-centered.Vivianne draws on her background in trauma counseling, psychology, and design to explain how corporate UX environments often reward unhealed coping patterns—people-pleasing, hyper-vigilance, over-responsibility, and self-silencing—while calling it “professionalism.” The work still gets done, praise still comes, but the cost is creativity, curiosity, and a sense of agency.We also talk about what it actually looks like to take that agency back. Not through dramatic exits or rage-quitting, but through small, intentional experiments: setting boundaries, asking better questions, redefining security, and exploring entrepreneurial paths without burning everything down. If your design job feels more like survival than creation, this episode is for you.Topics:• 04:57 – Vivian's Journey• 07:16 – The Toxicity in UX Culture• 19:14 – Reclaiming Agency as Designers• 29:20 – Unhealed Patterns in the Workplace• 31:13 – Understanding Corporate Culture and Personal Responsibility• 32:01 – Self-Silencing and Professionalism• 32:30 – Endurance vs. Resilience• 33:04 – Updating Unhealed Behaviors• 35:34 – Navigating Toxic Workplaces• 37:14 – The Illusion of Job Security• 43:09 – Entrepreneurship as a Healing Experience• 43:37 – The Walkout Event for UX ProfessionalsHelpful Links:• Connect with Vivianne on LinkedIn• Join the Walkout—Thanks for listening!

Guest: Brandon Weichert. Chinese tech giant Baidu is developing high-end chips to boost its market valuation. However, the Chinese state drives this "chip war" for military control and resilience rather than profitability. Despite some puffery regarding capabilities, China is serious about creating indigenous alternatives to American technology.1954
Why does it feel like everything is falling apart, even as our lives get materially easier in so many ways? Michael Hyatt talks with author and cultural thinker Virginia Postrel about why progress becomes invisible, how nostalgia for the “good old days” distorts reality, and why modern change moves unevenly.They explore why humans crave beauty and meaning (not just function) and how AI is reshaping the future of work. A clear theme emerges throughout the wide-ranging conversation: change is inevitable, and how we respond matters. Resilience, margin, and an entrepreneurial mindset make all the difference.If you've felt powerless against “big systems,” this episode is a reminder that innovation is often personal, practical, and close to home: start where you are, solve what you can, and expect the unexpected.Memorable Quotes“The issues of character never go away. They are eternal human questions, and we forget because we have sort of nostalgic views of the past.”“Even the smartest AI can't figure out what people want—what people are dissatisfied with. And a lot of innovation comes from that. We tend to focus on big technologies. And even big technologies come from a lot of incremental improvements… A lot of improvements come from people saying, ‘I'm dissatisfied with this,' or ‘Here's something I figured out.'”“Human beings don't just value function. They value pleasure, and they value meaning, and pleasure and meaning are things that are very much conveyed through the look and feel of objects or places.”“Agency is problem-solving. It's you solving problems in your life, or whatever that might be—and it's sort of reversed, too, which is that if you assume that it's someone else's job to solve your problem, you sort of give up your sense of agency.” “A lot of leadership is figuring out what gifts individuals have and getting them moving in the right direction… A big part of leadership as problem-solving is people problem-solving—getting people in the right roles and thinking about how those roles mesh.”“Expect that you're going to be in a world that changes, because that's the world we live in. It's the world we've been living in for hundreds of years. The other thing is: understand this didn't start with you. Other people have gone through amazing and scary and terrifying changes, and our civilization has lived to tell the tale.”Key TakeawaysProgress Becomes Invisible Quickly. We normalize improvements fast—and forget what life used to require in drudgery, time, and basic comforts.Change Is Uneven: Bits vs. Atoms. Software accelerates rapidly, while physical-world progress (like housing) can be slowed by policy, cost, and complexity.Dynamism vs. Stasis Shapes How We Face the Future. Some people see change as positive-sum opportunity; others experience it as zero-sum threat.Agency Grows Through Problem-Solving. When we assume “someone else” must fix things, we trade away our sense of control and possibility.Resilience Requires Margin. Financial cushion, emotional bandwidth, and community support help you absorb shocks and adapt.Entrepreneurship Is Bigger Than Business. You can be “entrepreneurial” by starting groups, building community, or solving everyday problems—not just launching companies.Resourcesvpostrel.com (Website)vpostrel.substack.com (Substack Newsletter)The Future and Its Enemies (Book)The Substance of Style (Book)The Power of Glamor (Book)The Fabric of Civilization (Book)Watch on YouTube at: https://youtu.be/yCMHIdYYS-AThis episode was produced by Sarah Vorhees Wendel of VW Sound

Are you tired of yelling—and still dealing with tantrums, defiance, and emotional meltdowns?What if the reason tantrums keep happening isn't because your child is “misbehaving,” but because something deeper isn't being addressed?In this episode, Greg & Rachel Denning break down the exact framework they've used to practice parenting without yelling—and to prevent tantrums before they start. As parents of seven, they share the six core principles that transformed their family culture from reactive and exhausting to calm, connected, and emotionally resilient.You'll learn why tantrums are a symptom, not the problem, and how prioritizing connection over correction eliminates the need for constant discipline. This conversation challenges the myth that punishment creates better behavior and shows how teaching, clarity, emotional co-regulation, and healthy challenge create lasting change.They also explain why many kids simply lack the neurological ability to self-regulate, and how co-regulation—not isolation or punishment—is the missing piece for most families struggling with meltdowns.If you're ready to stop firefighting behavior and start building a family culture that actually works, this episode will change how you see parenting.Watch the full episode here: https://youtu.be/V1Vrh3u6FpI Key Takeaways:✅ Connection reduces the need for correction — discipline works best when the relationship is protected first.✅ Tantrums are symptoms, not the problem — go upstream to unmet needs instead of reacting to behavior.✅ Parent with clarity, not threats or bribes — vague rules create rebellion; clear teaching creates ownership.✅ Emotional co-regulation is essential — children can't self-regulate until they're taught how through you.✅ Family systems reduce chaos — routines and expectations remove friction and power struggles.✅ Resilience is built through connection and challenge — kids grow strongest when they choose hard things with your support.Memorable Quotes

In this episode, Dr. Gary Chapman joins Sissy Goff and David Thomas to explore what kids need most right now: feeling deeply and consistently loved. Drawing from decades of counseling families and his work with the Five Love Languages, Dr. Chapman explains how children uniquely receive love, how parents can identify a child's primary love language, and why behavior is often a signal that a child's “love tank” is running low.

Complete our 2025 survey: https://unpacked.bio/uihsurvey Book for the Jerusalem Marathon "Return, Reconnect, and Run for Resilience" tour: sababatravel.com In this Open Mic episode, Noam responds to a listener, Aviva's question: what does it even mean to say “Israel has a right to exist”—and who gets to decide that “right”?

Working nights and raising kids doesn't leave a lot of room for macros and meal prep—and that's exactly why this episode matters. We sit down with Kayla M. to unpack how she built sustainable habits while juggling night shift work, family responsibilities, and a life that rarely goes as planned. With guidance from Coach Kara, Kayla swapped the all-or-nothing mindset for a progress-over-perfection approach: flexible nutrition, compassionate self-talk, and showing up—even when it's messy. You'll hear how she navigates sleep-schedule swings, handles family events without derailing goals, uses coaching for accountability, and models healthy behaviors for her kids. If you're a working mom, shift worker, or anyone stuck waiting for "perfect conditions," Kayla's story is your proof that small steps stack into big change.

In today's episode, we explore what it means to create work that lasts not just for the next trend cycle, but for generations. We dive deep into the interplay of intuition, identity, and intentionality that underpins creative longevity, and how these often-invisible forces guide great design, resilient businesses, and enduring cultural impact.We sit down with two very different thinkers whose experiences mirror this theme. First, we hear from Robert Brunner, renowned industrial designer and founder of Ammunition Design Group, whose work includes designing Beats by Dre headphones and pioneering shifts at Apple. He shares stories of working with some of the world's most creative—and opinionated—collaborators, and how intuition fused with empathy leads to breakthrough products.Next, we talk with Neri Karra Sillaman, a scholar and author of Pioneers: Eight Principles of Business Longevity from Immigrant Entrepreneurs. Her research unpacks why immigrant-founded companies tend to outlast their peers—not simply due to external market factors, but because of internal clarity, community orientation, and the reframing of adversity.We broaden the lens from iconic objects to enduring enterprises, discovering through-lines that shape both remarkable products and resilient organizations.Five Key Learnings from the Episode:Intuition is Earned, Not Mystical: We learn that intuition isn't some innate gift—it's the result of deep attention, lived experience, and empathy, brought to bear at critical moments of creation.Identity Drives Longevity: Durable work starts internally, rooted in a clear understanding of who we are and what matters to us. This self-knowledge—tempered by adversity or migration—shapes everything from product design to business models.Collaboration Requires Respect and Empathy: Great breakthroughs often emerge from teams with diverse perspectives. Navigating strong personalities and creative differences means honoring others' ideas and creating environments where bold work can thrive.Community and Shared Value Matter: We see how leaders build enterprises to last by weaving strong communities and ecosystems, deliberately involving employees and stakeholders, and focusing on shared value over short-term profit.Resilience is Built Through Reframing Rejection: Successful creators and entrepreneurs don't see setbacks as verdicts on their worth—instead, rejection is information and an invitation to try again, often with even more clarity and resolve.Get full interviews and bonus content for free!
