Can the Philippines become a testbed for Southeast Asia's clean-tech future? Kicking off Season 19 of Cleaning Up, guest host Marie Cheong meets Jaime Z. Urquijo, Urban Estates Group Head at Ayala Land, one of the Philippines is largest real estate and development companies. Ayala Land is a subsidiary of the Ayala Corporation, which has been part of the Philippines' economic story for almost 200 years, and ACEN, its energy platform, has gone from a standing start in 2011 to more than 7GW of renewable capacity across Asia-Pacific. Marie and Jaime explore how the Philippines can build cleaner energy, transport and cities from the start while its economy and population continue to grow. They discuss replacing coal with renewables, retiring coal plants early, building resilient cities and making growth less carbon-intensive. From batteries and rooftop solar to green steel and electric buses, they ask what it will take for the Philippines to leapfrog to a cleaner, more resilient economy. Topics covered in this conversation: The Philippines' clean-energy challenge Can growth be decoupled from emissions? Making corporate sustainability profitable ACEN's renewable-energy transformation Southeast Asia's renewable-energy gold rush Can coal plants retire early? Building resilient cities for climate Electric buses and better transport Green steel and cleaner construction Leadership Circle: Cleaning Up is proud to be supported by its Leadership Circle.

Caption: 1521 PERSIATONIGHT CONTENTS THE JOHN BATCHELOR SHOW 8-31-2026Tehran Under Siege: Sanctions, War Fatigue, and the Credibility Crisis of the UNEdmund Fitton-Brown details the bleak economic reality for citizens in Tehran living under severe economic sanctions and a low-intensity conflict. Ordinary residents are reduced to driving for ride-sharing apps like Snapp and begging for food due to skyrocketing prices of staple goods like yogurt. While the regime's elite remain insulated, sanctions have severely strained the general population without driving systemic behavior changes. Furthermore, the discussion examines the declining global credibility of the United Nations. The organization has abandoned its neutrality by focusing excessively on targeting Israel and prioritizing humanitarian relief, which frequently ends up diverted to empower oppressive regimes. (1)Demographic Doom: How the One-Child Legacy and Youth Cynicism Threaten China's FuturePiero Tozzi explores China's severe demographic crisis resulting from the legacy of the totalitarian one-child policy enacted in 1979 and officially lifted in 2015. Despite transitioning to a three-child policy, fertility rates continue to plummet due to youth disillusionment. The gender imbalance has catalyzed widespread female trafficking from neighboring countries, while a high proportion of single-child soldiers in the military creates unique domestic vulnerabilities in conflict scenarios. Young Chinese citizens are increasingly opting out of intense economic exploitation through passive resistance movements like "laying flat" and "letting it rot," directly challenging propaganda regarding national rejuvenation. (2)The Domestic Surge: AI Infrastructure, Aerospace Recovery, and US Manufacturing RenaissanceAlan Tonelson highlights the significant manufacturing revival currently taking place in the United States, driven by key sectors like aerospace and artificial intelligence infrastructure. Boeing's resolution of safety and production issues has revitalized aerospace, while a massive buildout of AI data centers has boosted demand for semiconductors, steel, and electronic equipment. Although trade tensions with Canada persist, the US-Mexico-Canada Agreement protects most trade, rendering short-term disruptions minimal. Furthermore, while widespread local protests against data centers have emerged across various states, they have not yet slowed down the overall rapid pace of construction. (3)Middle East Realignment: Iranian Devaluation, Turkish Expansion, and Mediterranean Defense PartnershipsMalcolm Hoenlein covers shifting geopolitical and economic dynamics across the Middle East. Inside Iran, severe inflation, food shortages, and medicine price hikes are suffocating the middle class, prompting harsher internal crackdowns by the regime. Meanwhile, Omani channel shipping flows have partially improved following US-led mine sweeping efforts. In Syria, Turkey is pursuing a quiet military takeover, a move contested by Israel. Additionally, Saudi Arabia is utilizing pipelines to bypass shipping threats, and Finland has joined other nations in defunding the corrupt Palestinian refugee agency UNRWA. Finally, Greece and Israel have solidified a historic $3.5 billion multi-level defense agreement. (4)Cult of Rebellion: Understanding the Resilient and Hostile Ideology of the HouthisEdmund Fitton-Brown chronicles the history, structure, and ideological motivations of the Houthi movement in Yemen. Emerging in the mid-1990s as a Zaydi revivalist cult modeled after Lebanese Hezbollah, the group adopted a highly hostile five-part slogan ("the scream") emphasizing anti-American, anti-Semitic, and anti-Israel vitriol. Over decades of conflict, they waged multiple rebellions against former dictator Ali Abdullah Saleh before forming a tactical alliance with him to seize power. Known as relentless fighters who are always up for a battle, the Houthis harbor expansive territorial ambitions in southern Saudi Arabia, aiming to control the holy sites of Mecca and Medina. (5)Tehran in Limbo: Evaluating Sanctions, Bureaucratic Alienation, and Paths to Regime ChangeJanatyn Sayeh addresses the psychological state of "no war, no peace" in Tehran a year after the September 2025 conflict. The population faces deep war fatigue, compounded by blockades and new sanctions. While sanctions alone cannot topple the regime, they successfully alienate key socio-economic groups. Specifically, lower-level administrative bureaucrats and ideologues are losing their financial incentives and faith in the regime's competence. True systemic change will not happen overnight, but dragging out the process and bringing civil unrest into urban streets could break pro-regime morale and dismantle the kleptocratic elite's hold on power. (6)Deterrence and Covert Diplomacy: Analyzing CIA Trip to Moscow and the North Korean AllianceJohn Hardie analyzes CIA Director John Ratcliffe's unexpected visit to Moscow. Speculation suggests the trip aimed to deter Russian sabotage against NATO, push for a diplomatic settlement in Ukraine, and pressure Moscow to limit support for Iran. Although Russian leader Vladimir Putin remains convinced of victory and resistant to compromises, maintaining deterrence remains critical. Simultaneously, military intelligence reports that North Korea has supplied dozens of short-range ballistic missiles to Russia for use in Ukraine, with thousands of combat troops potentially deployed, further complicating the global security landscape. (7)A Shift in Rules: IDF's Aggressive Gaza Targeting, Tunnel Demolition, and West Bank Air PowerSamuel Ben-Ur highlights a shift in Israeli military operations. Following a ceasefire, the IDF returned to pre-agreement rules by striking an active Hamas militant at a Gaza bakery. The military has destroyed roughly half of Gaza's tunnels, with operations continuing on the Hamas-controlled side. Additionally, Israel executed a rare West Bank airstrike to eliminate Kais Betawi, a high-value financial and military operative, signaling strength ahead of upcoming elections. Finally, the discussion outlines the total exclusion of the heavily compromised UNRWA from future Gaza recovery efforts, noting that the United States and Israel will sideline the agency entirely. (8)Higher Education in Crisis: Rising Debt, STEM Brain Drain, and Political PolarizationTom Katsouleas critiques the declining public trust and degrees in American higher education despite high spending. Driven by cost, value, and inclusion issues, students face massive debts that delay major life milestones like marriage and housing. Public universities have increased tuition to compensate for shrinking state budgets, while investing in luxury facilities and high-end services. In graduate education, US research programs depend heavily on international students—primarily from China—for STEM fields. However, rising immigration hostility and aggressive geopolitical competition are reversing this brain drain, while perceived progressive bias further polarizes public trust. (9)The Strategic Vanguard: Hezbollah's Regional Reach, Ceasefire Probing, and Lebanese Shia PoliticsDavid Daoud outlines the strategic dynamics of Hezbollah in Lebanon. Hezbollah is currently launching pinprick probing attacks to test Israel's rules of engagement under ceasefire constraints and US pressure. Within Lebanesepolitics, the Shia community remains structured around a symbiotic relationship between the nationalist Amal movement and Hezbollah, preventing any independent Shia opposition from gaining ground. Beyond Lebanon, Hezbollah acts as the tip of the spear for Iranian expansionism, training regional proxies in rocket, tunnel, and propaganda warfare. This veteran, transnational expertise makes Hezbollah an indispensable regional asset that Iran would find impossible to replace. (10)The Silent Drip: Structural Remedies for America's $40 Trillion Debt CrisisThomas Savidge addresses the economic implications of the United States crossing the $40 trillion national debt threshold, fueled by pandemic spending and mandatory entitlements. This massive debt competes with private capital, driving up consumer borrowing rates and depressing real wages through inflation. To halt this slow economic drip, Savidge proposes a "fiscal constitution." This includes strong constitutional amendments, Colorado-style spending caps tied to population growth and inflation, a silent-approval budget commission to enact spending cuts, and strict regulatory limits on the scope of government authority to prevent accounting tricks.

This month, we're welcoming the team from Shell to Shore, an Athens-based oyster shell recycling initiative that works with restaurants across the state of Georgia to rebuild shorelines.Oysters -- the same kind you slurp down as an appetizer at that restaurant downtown -- have incredible potential for fighting sea level rise. In the wild, oysters build reefs together, with baby oysters settling on the old shells of bivalves past and offering a tough breakwater to stabilize shorelines and slow waves hitting the beach.With the help of Shell to Shore, those restaurant oyster shells don't go in the trash -- instead, they get taken back to the coast to help restore coastal ecosystems. With a little help from their engineering friends, the Shell to Shore team is now developing restoration projects with community members at locations like Sapelo Island, Georgia. This episode is all about lessons learned, how to scale up from starting at home, and of course, plenty of oyster fun facts.Featuring:Brock Woodson, co-director of IRIS and UGA professor of engineeringTyler Leslie, Executive Director and co-founder of Shell to ShoreNik Heynen, UGA professor of geography and Director of Education for Shell to ShoreHunt Revell, environmental attorney and President and co-founder of Shell to ShoreBrock's Haiku:Oysters depletedonce abundant, soon restoredprotecting our shoresLearn more about S2S at https://www.shelltoshore.com/ Donate here: https://givebutter.com/S2Sdonate Get in touch: https://www.shelltoshore.com/contact-us 

Why are lawyers so good at spotting problems and sometimes so bad at letting them go? For more than two decades, I've followed the research of Dr. Larry Richard, widely recognized as the leading expert on the psychology of lawyer behavior. His work has had a profound impact on my own career and provides a foundation for much of the coaching work I do with lawyers. His research has helped me understand not only my clients, but also my own tenancies and why so many of us who went to law school think and react the way we do. In this episode of Counsel to Counsel, Larry joins me to discuss his new book, Thin-Skinned: Why Lawyers Are So Low in Resilience, and the New Science That Can Help, that he co-authored with his wife Dr. D'Arcy Lyness (published by the American Bar Association.) Larry's research shows that lawyers differ significantly from the general population on a number of personality traits. Most strikingly, 90% of lawyers score below the 50th percentile for psychological resilience compared to the general public. The same skepticism and problem-spotting abilities that help us practice law effectively can make us more prone to negative thinking, defensiveness, and difficulty dealing with uncertainty, criticism, and change. The encouraging news is that resilience is highly learnable. Larry explains the practical ways that lawyers can strengthen their resilience by reducing negative thinking, increasing positive emotions, developing stronger social connections, and taking better care of themselves. We also discuss how these ideas apply to career development, business development, leadership, feedback, and the everyday challenges lawyers face. I've practiced and recommended many of these techniques for years including mindfulness, gratitude, exercise, cultivating relationships, and challenging negative thinking. Thin-Skinned gave me a much deeper understanding of why they work and offers many new ideas that I can use both personally and with my coaching clients. Key Takeaways Lawyers really are psychologically different. Larry's decades of research identify seven traits on which lawyers tend to be outliers: skepticism, autonomy, abstract reasoning, urgency, sociability, cognitive empathy, and resilience. The traits that make us effective lawyers can work against us elsewhere. Skepticism and looking for what could go wrong are enormously valuable when practicing law, but carrying that mindset into our personal and professional relationships can undermine resilience. Being "thin-skinned" doesn't mean being weak. A lawyer may confidently handle an aggressive opposing counsel yet become defensive when a colleague questions their behavior. Ambiguous interpersonal situations are often where low resilience shows up. Resilience can be learned. Unlike many personality traits, resilience is heavily influenced by learning and experience, which means there are concrete things we can do to improve it. Thoughts, feelings, and actions reinforce one another. Changing any one of the three can influence the others. For lawyers who struggle with rejection in business development or career advancement, simply taking action repeatedly can reduce the sense of threat over time. Positive emotions aren't just "feel-good" exercises. Music, gratitude, nature, exercise, and other positive experiences have measurable effects that can help counteract the physiological impact of stress and negative emotions. Relationships are a powerful source of resilience. Strong, authentic social connections help us absorb stress and cope with change. That is particularly important for lawyers, who tend to score lower on sociability. Law firm leaders need to understand lawyer resilience. Leaders who default to fixing deficiencies and react defensively to suggestions can undermine trust. Strengths-based leadership and an understanding of how low-resilience lawyers respond to feedback can produce better results.

His research has helped law firms and lawyers better understand leadership, management, well-being, personality, and change. His new book, Thin-Skinned: Why Lawyers Are So Low in Resilience, and the New Science That Can Help, co-authored with Dr. D'Arcy Lyness, is available from the American Bar Association. Larry describes it not simply as an explanation of why lawyers struggle with resilience, but as a practical collection of evidence-based strategies for doing something about it.

The pressure to be endlessly happy is leaving the next generation more anxious and isolated than ever. In his new book, The Happiness Crisis: How Adversity Can Build a Resilient and Joyful Next Generation, Dr. Jonathan Eckert calls for a culture shift that we can begin at home. How do we embrace adversity and see the value of challenges, instead of becoming parents who make everything too easy? Dr. Eckert explains the biblical connection between joy and struggle, and why removing adversity — "snowplow parenting" — prevents kids from developing resilience. Arlene and Jon work through real-life scenarios, including a child facing bullying and a teen caught using AI to cheat on a school assignment. The conversation closes with practical steps for helping kids rediscover purpose and joy through community and faith. Dr. Jonathan Eckert is a former middle school teacher and basketball coach who worked in the Bush and Obama Department of Education. He has a PhD from Vanderbilt, and currently serves as the Executive Director of the Baylor Center for School Leadership. 02:35 Why the pursuit of happiness backfires 03:29 How phones and comparison fuel kids' unhappiness 04:57 Snowplow parents vs. building "muscles around the backbone" 09:15 Roleplay: what to say when a kid is bullied at school 14:40 Roleplay: when a teen gets caught using AI to cheat 21:18 My teacher story: destructive vs. productive struggle 28:17 The "man in the arena" quote and the ABCs of joy Connect with Dr. Jonathan Eckert at jonathaneckert.org or on Linkedin.

Your brain is remarkably resilient—but modern life doesn't always make protecting it easy. In Brain Defenders, neurologist David Perlmutter explains how the brain's immune cells can either preserve cognitive health or contribute to decline—and how everyday choices can influence that balance. Then, in Rewired, psychiatrist and neuroscientist Carl Marci explores what smartphones, social media, and nonstop stimulation are doing to our attention, relationships, and emotional well-being.

Every so often, a financial product gets picked up by the internet for one reason and one reason only — its name. TIPS are a perfect example. Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities have the word inflation right on the box, so the moment people start worrying about rising prices, the hive mind of finance decides the answer is obvious: inflation's coming, buy the thing with inflation in the name, done. In this episode, Brandon and Brantley take that reflex apart — and make the case for an inflation-resilient asset almost nobody thinks to put in the same conversation: whole life insurance. We'll say the honest part first, because it's the part that trips people up. Nothing contractual, structural, or mechanical inside a whole life policy addresses inflation. Your dividend does not go up because CPI went up. It's not in the name, it's not on the box, it's not a line drawn from point A to point B. So how can we possibly call it inflation-resilient? Because once you stop reading the label and look at how these things actually work under the hood, whole life turns out to capture a far bigger piece of the inflation cycle than the flavor-of-the-week trade ever could. What we get into: What TIPS actually do — and what they quietly cost you. The nominal yield looks pathetic on the screen, but that yield gets added to the change in CPI, so functionally it's better than it looks and it does hedge your buying power in a high-inflation stretch. The catch is the tax bill. When inflation adjusts the value of the bond, you owe ordinary income tax on that gain in the year it happens — even though no money has actually been sent to you. State and local taxes are usually exempt, which blunts it, but in a higher bracket the real, after-tax return can drift toward zero or negative. That's a strange result for something you bought specifically to keep your buying power above zero. The part everybody forgets: you have to stick the landing. A TIPS trade is a bounce-in, bounce-out move on a single, narrow objective — protect yield against a rapid rise in inflation. The problem is that by the time you've decided inflation is here, the shock has usually already happened. You're reacting to a headline that's already priced in. Why the "safe bond" can still lose 12% in the worst possible year. We walk through a real, humbling number. Vanguard's inflation-protected securities fund — a stand-in for the TIPS exposure a regular investor could actually buy — lost around 12% in 2022, the very year inflation spiked to roughly 8%. That's the year it was "supposed" to shine. The culprit is a broader bond-market and duration problem, and it's exactly the kind of surprise that makes people who thought they owned something simple and safe scratch their heads. How whole life responds to inflation — through the bond market, not the CPI print. Here's the mechanism. An insurer's job is to earn enough on the premiums it collects to make good on a contractual guarantee. Say a company needs to earn 3% to capitalize that guarantee, and it can buy bonds at 4% — it pockets the difference, and with participating whole life, a large share of that gets returned to policyholders as dividends. Crucially, insurers don't buy bonds the way retail investors do. They don't chase total return; they match income-producing assets to their liabilities. So when inflation pushes yields up, they get to buy new bonds at higher yields, and they never sell the old ones at a loss just because rates moved. The lag that works in your favor. Because insurers keep buying up income at higher yields as rates rise — and because they reprice slowly — a relatively short burst of inflation can hold the returns inside a whole life portfolio elevated for years afterward. It doesn't snap up in lockstep with TIPS, and it never will. But it moves in the same direction, it stays there far longer, and it does the whole thing in a dramatically more tax-efficient way. You'll actually understand what happened. Only half tongue-in-cheek. Unraveling whether a TIPS position was a win or a loss is genuinely hard once you fold in the tax treatment. With a well-designed policy, if you pay the premium you planned to pay, you'll have more cash value at the end of next year than you had this year, and so on down the line. The honest caveat we make on-air: this isn't "whole life beats TIPS," and it certainly isn't a fast trade. Dividend rates change from year to year — we've had clients whose cash value came in a bit under the original illustration when scales dropped, and the honest reaction is usually a shrug, because the variance is manageable, not wild. Whole life won't move quickly, there's no contractual link to CPI, and it's not the tool for locking in a defined real return over a set horizon. What it is designed to do is capture a much broader slice of the inflation cycle — maintaining buying power and building profitability in a rising-rate environment — while being one of the more boring, dependable pieces of a plan. If you want to buy TIPS because you think that's the right move, fine. Just know that the "obvious" inflation play and the durable one are not the same thing.

On this week's episode of the WHOOP Podcast, WHOOP Founder and CEO Will Ahmed sits down with WHOOP Global Head of Human Performance and Principal Scientist Dr. Kristen Holmes to discuss her new book, Aligned, and what it takes to build a more resilient nervous system. Drawing on her journey from elite athlete to championship-winning coach, researcher, and human performance expert, Dr. Holmes shares what she's learned about the connection between recovery, resilience, and sustained performance. Will and Dr. Holmes explore why the time spent away from your craft can be just as important as the work itself, how sleep consistency and HRV can provide insight into the health of your nervous system, and why balancing stress with adequate recovery is critical for performing at your best.

MKUltra is supposed to be a dark chapter of American history that closed decades ago. James Martinez doesn't believe it ever really ended. He argues the experiments simply evolved — from drugs, hypnosis, and behavioral conditioning into technologies capable of collecting brain data, influencing behavior, and potentially reaching directly into the human mind.James has unique views, built upon decades of studying MKUltra. What follows is a conversation shaped by that worldview — skeptical of official narratives, deeply suspicious of where technology is taking us, and willing to go places most people wouldn't even consider.Key Topics:What MKUltra was actually designed to accomplishWhy James believes the program never truly endedHow mind-control technology may have evolved since MKUltraHuman chipping and brain-computer interfacesWhat happens when thoughts and brain activity become dataWhy James calls cell phones “training wheels” for telepathyHis theories about engineered public personalities and “Manchurian candidates”Why he believes some alien abductions were artificially createdAI, cloned voices, deepfakes, and manufactured evidenceThe technological ruling class James believes is shaping human behavior and the whole worldTranshumanism and the potential merging of humans with machinesWhy James ultimately sees what's coming as a spiritual battleThis is an action-packed episode! You may not agree with every conclusion James reaches, but you'll probably come away thinking differently about how much power technology could eventually have over the human mind.——Stay up-to-date with all things Resilient by subscribing to our Resilient Times Newsletter: https://resilienttimes.substack.comRESILIENT:Follow Us On Patreon: ⁠https://patreon.com/theresilientshowFollow Us On Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/resilientshowFollow Us On Twitter:⁠ ⁠https://twitter.com/resilientshowFollow Us On TikTok:⁠ ⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@resilientshowLIVE RESILIENT STORE:https://shop.theresilientshow.comFollow Chad: ⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/chadrobo_officialhttps://x.com/ChadRoboSPONSORS:Smith & Wesson: ⁠⁠https://www.smith-wesson.com⁠⁠Vortex Optics: ⁠https://vortexoptics.com⁠Gatorz Eyewear: ⁠⁠https://www.gatorz.com⁠⁠Allied Wealth: ⁠https://alliedwealth.com⁠BioPro+: ⁠⁠https://www.bioproteintech.com/CHAD30⁠⁠BioXCellerator: ⁠https://www.bioxcellerator.com⁠Core Medical: https://coremedicalgrp.com/chadpodcastcmg------The Resilient Show is a proud supporter of military and first responder communities in partnership with ⁠Mighty Oaks Foundation⁠.

Please join us for this full moon transmission with the Arcturian Energies and Consciousness where we work to heal, balance, restore, and amplify our physical and multi-dimensional resilience.  We will be focused on two physiological systems in the body: the autonomic nervous system that leads to rest and digest and fight or flight activity and the cortisol system which is known as the hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal axis.  In this healing session using a unique download from the Arcturians, we will first heal and balance the parasympathetic nervous system.  This involves the vagus nerve and its effector and leads to full recovery from acute stress.  We will also then heal and balance the sympathetic nervous system which allows us to become active and energizes our physical body for activity and movement.  After working with the autonomic nervous system, we will systematically healing and balance the hypothalamus and pituitary which are master control glands for our endocrine system.  We will then heal and balance our adrenal glands which gives rise to cortisol which helps to combat stress and anxiety.This is an excellent session if you have been feeling fatigue or want to harness more physical energy.  Also people might experience adrenal fatigue in particular, burn out, or exhaustion due to these systems being overtaxed in their body.  Finally, the energies from the Arcturians will lead to super resilience so that you can have abundant physical and etheric energies to meet your day to day tasks and overall mission in life.After the 45 minute healing session, we will do a healing meditation that will cleanse and energize our system to complement the healing of the autonomic nervous system and endocrine system (hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal axis).  This will be recorded and can be used on a repeated basis to cleanse, energize, and heal the physical and etheric body for vibrant health and longevity.

#335 Billy shares a bite-sized episode on building a resilient mindset around money, success, and daily decision-making. The focus is on what actually changes behavior: gratitude, discomfort, and willingness to risk rejection. He also makes it clear this is a work in progress, not a polished "I've mastered it" lecture. Key topics In this episode, Billy explains why mindset matters more than tactics when the issue is really follow-through, not knowledge. He frames gratitude as a practical discipline, not just a nice feeling, and says appreciation improves perspective, creativity, and relationships. Billy shares a personal example about moving into a dream house and still feeling discontent within minutes, showing how quickly expectations reset. He distinguishes healthy drive from harmful discontent, arguing that ambition and gratitude have to coexist. He recommends a family gratitude practice: at breakfast, everyone names three things they're grateful for. Billy says comparing yourself to other people is usually a losing game because their circumstances, goals, strengths, and constraints are different. The second key is getting slightly outside your comfort zone, which he applies to jujitsu, sales, money habits, and pricing decisions. He suggests small, repeatable discomforts such as asking harder sales questions, reviewing financial statements for 10 minutes, or raising prices slightly. The third key is setting failure goals, meaning goals that require more risk, more noes, and more creativity. Billy uses examples from business development, public speaking, and launching offers to show how aiming for rejection can produce better results. He references the idea of impossible goals, where a bigger target forces you to redesign your strategy instead of repeating the same habits. Notable quotes "Too much, and you won't do it. Too little and you won't grow." "Set failure goals." "We're all on our own path."

What if resilience isn't about powering through, pushing harder, or staying unbreakable but about knowing how to bend, recalibrate, and return to center without losing yourself in the process?That question sits at the heart of my conversation with Dr. Ute Liersch, a German psychologist, leadership coach, and resilience expert who works with high-performing leaders, especially those navigating burnout, anxiety, trauma, ADHD, or major career transitions out of corporate life. She has more than a decade of experience at the intersection of mental health, leadership, and neurodiversity. She brings a rare blend of clinical depth and real-world pragmatism, drawing from evidence-based approaches to help leaders build psychological flexibility, resilience, and purpose without sacrificing wellbeing.Today, she shares some of that wisdom, explaining the truth behind resilience, why emotions are neutral data, and she describes how “nice-looking” rules can actually prevent the necessary actions that leaders need to take. It's a wonderful conversation with so many nuggets for wherever you are on your leadership journey. To access the episode transcript, go to www.TheEmpathyEdge.com and search by episode title.Listen in for…Why resilience isn't a “demolition derby,” but the ability to return to equilibrium after stressHow emotions can be treated as neutral data points, not problems to suppress or judgeWhat emotional regulation looks like in real leadership moments and why leaders who regulate their emotions create calmer, more trustworthy environmentsHow overly inclusive decision-making can backfire, and how to balance empathy with decisiveness and boundariesHow leaders can disentangle past trauma from present-day decision-making to lead in more values-aligned ways "If you want to become more resilient, one of the things you really need to learn is to be courageous and brave and curious enough to start noticing how am I right now? What's my body doing? What are my thoughts? How am I positioned in the situation? An honest reflection of HOW you are, not who." — Dr. Ute LierschAbout Dr. Ute Liersch, Chartered Counselling and Coaching Psychologist:Dr. Ute Liersch is a Chartered Counselling and Coaching Psychologist based in the UK, with over a decade of experience working at the intersection of mental health, leadership, and neurodiversity.

This week, Dr. Karen Wilson is touching upon resilience and how our definition of it can sometimes be part of the problem. She challenges the idea that resilience means pushing through stress, staying quiet, or succeeding no matter the emotional cost. After all, a child who appears to be thriving on the outside may actually be running on empty. After a recent conversation with a parent, Dr. Wilson felt inspired to explain why good grades, athletic success, and responsible behavior don't always reflect a child's well-being, and she explores the important difference between coping and genuinely thriving, especially for children with learning and thinking differences who may work far harder than their peers while hiding their struggles. In this episode, Dr. Wilson shares six practical ways that parents can encourage resilience without fueling burnout. She discusses why it's important to recognize effort instead of focusing solely on outcomes, make room for genuine recovery, reduce pressure to be perfect, encourage emotional honesty, recognize early warning signs of burnout, and help children understand their worth extends far beyond achievement. Whether your child is entering a new school, adjusting to new routines, or facing the everyday demands of growing up, this conversation offers thoughtful reminders about what healthy resilience really looks like. Rather than teaching children to suppress their needs, Dr. Wilson makes the case for helping them recognize stress, seek support, recover from setbacks, and build confidence in ways that protect their mental health for years to come. Show Notes: [1:13] - Dr. Wilson reminds us that just because a child seems to be coping well doesn't necessarily mean that they are thriving. [4:09] - Dr. Wilson recommends paying attention to a child's effort, not just their outcomes. [5:00] - It's important to build rest and recovery time into a child's week. [6:11] - Perfectionism is not necessary, so don't add pressure by encouraging it. [7:33] - We should encourage emotional honesty. [8:29] - Instead of waiting for a burnout crisis, look for early signs of it. [9:35] - We are encouraged to help children and teens see that their worth goes beyond just academic achievement. [10:51] - In closing, Dr. Wilson reminds us that healthy resilience means facing challenges while recognizing stress and protecting mental well-being.

Online education has never been easier to access. You can learn almost anything through YouTube, Udemy, online communities, independent creators, coaches, and specialized training programs. Access isn't the problem anymore. Trust is. There's a big difference between spending $10 on a course and investing $2,000, $5,000, or more in a mentor, mastermind, or coaching program. When the investment gets larger, a five-star testimonial on a sales page doesn't cut it. In this episode of Building Better Developers, Rob Broadhead and Michael Meloche talk with Amit Zandberg about the challenge of creating trustworthy AI course reviews and helping people evaluate online mentors and high-ticket educational programs. The conversation quickly moves beyond online courses into a bigger question: Can AI help us establish trust, or does it make the trust problem even harder? About Amit Zandberg Amit Zandberg is an entrepreneur focused on bringing greater trust and transparency to online education. Through his work building a review platform for online mentors, creators, courses, and high-ticket educational programs, Amit is tackling a growing problem in the creator economy: helping potential students determine whether an expensive program is actually a good fit before they invest. His approach combines detailed learner feedback with AI-assisted analysis to identify patterns, pros and cons, mentor quality, learning experiences, and results while also addressing the growing challenge of fake and AI-generated reviews. Amit's work sits at the intersection of online education, entrepreneurship, artificial intelligence, consumer trust, and the creator economy. His experience provides a practical look at both sides of AI: using it to make businesses more efficient while building safeguards around the new problems AI can create. The Problem With High-Ticket Online Education Reviews exist almost everywhere. Before buying software, booking a hotel, choosing a restaurant, or ordering a product, we expect to find them. High-ticket online education works differently. A creator can spend months building an audience on LinkedIn, Instagram, TikTok, or YouTube. Eventually, they launch a coaching program, mastermind, or specialized course—and someone who's been consuming free content is suddenly asked to spend thousands of dollars. Amit ran into this problem himself. The issue isn't necessarily whether the mentor is good or bad. A highly rated mentor can still be the wrong mentor for you. Instead of asking: "Is this course good?" A better question is: "Is this course good for someone with my goals, experience, expectations, and problems?" That takes a lot more than a star rating to answer. Better Reviews Require Context Amit's approach favors detailed reviews over short comments. "This course was great" doesn't tell a potential student much. A useful review explains the person's situation, the problem they were solving, what they experienced, and what results they received. Context changes the value of a review—and what AI can do with it. Instead of asking reviewers to produce structured data by hand, Amit's approach is to collect detailed human experiences and use AI to extract useful information such as: Common pros and cons Patterns across multiple reviews Who a program may be best suited for The learning experience Results reported by students Mentor quality Differences between positive and negative experiences The goal isn't simply for AI to write another summary. It's to turn a large collection of human experiences into information a potential buyer can actually use. AI Should Analyze the Evidence, Not Replace It This became one of the more interesting parts of our conversation. AI can process hundreds of reviews much faster than a person can. But feeding those reviews into a model and simply asking, "Is this course good?" creates another trust problem. What did the model prioritize? Did it lean too heavily on recent reviews? Did negative experiences get buried? Did it exaggerate positive feedback? Did it reach conclusions the underlying reviews didn't actually support? Amit's approach breaks the analysis into specific parameters rather than relying on one generalized AI-generated summary. That's a useful lesson for anyone building AI-enabled products: Don't ask AI to make one giant judgment when you can have it analyze smaller, measurable pieces of information. AI works better as an analytical layer over the evidence than as a replacement for the evidence itself. The Fake Review Problem Gets Harder With AI If AI can analyze reviews, it can also create them. Fake reviews aren't new. Businesses have been gaming review platforms for years. Generative AI simply lowers the amount of effort required to produce convincing content. Someone could potentially generate dozens of realistic-looking reviews in minutes. That means review platforms need multiple signals to determine what's legitimate. Amit described several approaches his platform uses or is developing, including detailed review questions that increase the effort required to submit feedback, account requirements that make it harder to create mass fake identities, and timing analysis that can identify suspicious activity, such as a sudden burst of positive reviews. His team also uses AI-related detection techniques and manual review when activity appears suspicious. In some cases, reviewers can be contacted directly and asked to provide additional verification that they actually purchased a program. None of these methods guarantees authenticity on its own. Together, however, they increase the cost and difficulty of manipulating the system. Security Often Comes From Layers Amit compared the strategy to preventing theft in a store. A determined person may still find a way around an individual safeguard, but stores don't rely on one control. They use cameras, employees, alarms, inventory controls, security tags, and other signals. The goal isn't necessarily to make theft mathematically impossible. It's to make manipulation difficult enough that it becomes rare—and detectable enough that a small amount of bad data doesn't overwhelm the legitimate information. The same principle applies to AI systems. We often search for the perfect AI detector, perfect security control, or perfect validation rule. It usually doesn't exist. Resilient systems combine multiple imperfect controls. Use AI to Make Humans Faster Amit's company also uses AI internally, not just in the customer-facing product. AI helps collect and organize information, summarize large amounts of review data, analyze SEO information, and identify areas that need human attention. Work that previously required hours of manual effort can be significantly reduced. That's where many businesses can find immediate value from AI. The right question usually isn't: "How can AI replace this job?" A better question is: "Which repetitive parts of this job can AI handle so the person can spend more time making decisions?" That's augmentation rather than replacement. For many organizations, it's also a safer and more productive path toward AI adoption. Testing AI Means Testing the Business Too As a QA professional, Michael pushed the conversation toward another important question: How do you know the system is actually working? That's not just an AI testing question. It's a business testing question. For a platform built around search traffic, reviews, and user behavior, success depends on a stack of assumptions. Will people search for a mentor before buying? Will they click? Will they trust the information? Will they stay on the site? Will the review data actually help them make a decision? Will AI analysis make the experience better, or will it simply add another layer of technology? Some of those answers take time, particularly when SEO is involved. Amit described an iterative approach: make an assumption, measure what happens, determine whether it works, and then move forward or try again. It's simple to describe, but it's one of the most important habits in both software development and entrepreneurship. Don't Automate an Assumption You Haven't Validated AI makes building fast. That's useful. It also makes it remarkably easy to scale the wrong idea. Before automating a process, ask whether the process itself works. Before scaling content, determine whether people actually want it. Before trusting an AI summary, determine whether the underlying information is trustworthy. And before spending thousands of dollars on a mentor, make sure you understand enough about the subject—and yourself—to recognize whether that mentor can actually deliver something valuable. Technology can make decisions faster. The foundation still matters: Good data. Clear assumptions. Real validation. Human judgment. Those become more important, not less, as AI becomes easier to use.

Welcome back to the Resilient by Design Podcast. We are back and kicking off a spectacular Season 8!  -- Have you ever looked at your interior design business and thought, How did something I love become this exhausting? Between client requests, invoicing, hiring, managing a team, keeping projects moving, and constantly being the person everything comes back to, it's easy to become so focused on running the business that you lose touch with why you started designing in the first place. I've experienced my own version of that this year. In the first episode of Season 8, I'm taking you behind the scenes of some major changes I made in my business, including stepping away from design projects, changing my business model, and retiring an offer I was known for. And I'm sharing what I got wrong. We're talking about burnout, scaling, systems, becoming the bottleneck, changing your mind, and why trying something that doesn't work is not the same thing as failing. Most importantly, I want you to ask yourself: "Am I actually building an interior design business that I want to run?" Because the goal isn't just more clients, a bigger team, or more revenue, it's building a profitable, sustainable business that gives you the freedom to spend more time doing the work you're actually great at. I'm also sharing what I'm changing next, why Power of Process is returning, and what you can expect from this new season of Resilient by Design.   Resources: Join the Power of Process Waitlist for its 2026 Fall Return as you've never experienced before: https://rebeccahay.com/pop-waitlist/   -- This episode is sponsored by Programa.

This is a very unusual episode. It is rare that we would choose to have someone join us on the podcast so close to their crisis – usually our guests come to these conversations with the clarity that a few years' distance can bring. Erin Baker is just weeks on from the death of her partner, James, and still very much living in it. What she offers instead of distance is something rarer: the raw, unfiltered honesty of someone grieving out loud, in real time. A warning – this conversation is powerful and at times very difficult, and some of the themes may be upsetting.Erin Baker is one of the most respected motoring journalists in the country – the youngest and only female motoring editor on Fleet Street in her day. But in the autumn of last year, her life came apart. Her partner of thirteen years, James, was diagnosed with an aggressive, terminal brain tumour, and the blows kept coming: her father died, one of her sons was rushed to hospital, the family dog was put down, and a car was written off in a collision with a deer. Wave after wave, all at once. Then, this year, James died. He was 53.Rather than retreat, Erin made the conscious decision to grieve in public, writing for The Times and keeping a diary on Substack called Postcards from Grief, documenting James's dying, the days since, and the unexpected things his death has taught her. She joins Andy for a conversation about resilience and its limits, about loss and control, about black humour and love, and about what actually carries us through the very worst of it. She is, without a shadow of a doubt, someone we can all learn from.POWERED BY KINGSLEY NAPLEYKingsley Napley are the kind of lawyers I wish more people knew about – there to help you make the right decisions, protect what matters, and build real resilience when the pressure is on.

In this episode, you will hear from mental skills coach Paige Tonz as she shares two practical mental-performance tools from her presentation at DVA LIVE 2026. First, Paige breaks down the pre-serve routine—a simple way to add a mental component to an athlete's existing physical routine so they can manage pressure, reduce overthinking, and step into each serve with greater confidence. Then, she introduces the Bounce Back Tracker, a simple way for coaches to stop focusing only on mistakes and start measuring resilience. Instead of asking how often an athlete makes an error, coaches can track how quickly they respond and get back on track. Two simple tools that can help athletes become more confident, composed, and resilient under pressure.

Our simple actions have an impact and they affect the whole in ways that can be visible to us, but often are not. The exuberant abundance of a small wildflower circle that I planted a few weeks ago was a powerful reminder that the seeds we plant will bloom and thrive in ways we can not always predict.  During these powerful times on the earth our inner voice is being called to metaphorically (or sometimes literally) plant seeds that will bloom and thrive attracting pollinators that will take their sweet nectar and create sweet abundance in the collective.  It's pretty apparent to many of us now that the simpler way of being, which is in flow with nature and without conquering anything. We are losing interest in forcing ourselves into practices and programs with complicated manuals, practices and rituals.  Wait if I am not the I  I think I am and they are not the they they say they are  then what are we even doing  going down those obsolete, obfuscating pathways anymore  Instead  let's walk away from all falsity into the truth of what we are  it's time  right? ~ It's time for us to transcend the systems and embrace what we have always been. To listen and hear the song inside of us, talking to us in the language of love. We hear it in the silence of our heart, in the sound of the river rushing over rocks on the shore, in the sound of the wind rustling the leaves  - and we feel it in the vibration of the roots of the tallest trees and in the sun's pulsing warmth.  As my friend and mentor Kaya Usher (thesimplicityplatform.com) said, "We're simplifying ourselves, the more natural we become, the simpler we become. We are able to transcend systems when we come into a higher frequency. We are able to transform those systems. Solutions will come to you. You become so refined in frequency you need much less. You are able to transcend and move through simply and effectively - going beyond what you have always been told." We are here now to bloom, to thrive, attracting all those who will enjoy our nectar as we give from this overflowing cup of love that we are. Be your own gardener and allow those beautiful seeds you carry to bloom in you. (for more episodes visit the podcast show page https://www.artthatmoves.ca/podcasts/)

In this Huberman Lab Essentials episode, my guest is Jocko Willink, a retired U.S. Navy SEAL officer, author and host of the Jocko Podcast. We discuss why discipline, rather than motivation, is the reliable driver of daily action, and how taking action is the most effective way to move through adversity, loss and setbacks. We also discuss how exercise generates energy, the leader's role as a counterweight to team morale, and detachment as a trainable skill for widening perspective and making better decisions under stress.
