Podcasts about Resourcefulness

Robert Holley is Executive Director and Pensions Investment Manager at the $4 bn Baltimore City Fire and Police Employees' Retirement System. He has had a career that has spanned both the private and public sectors in financial services. Our conversation charts his journey from the private to the public sector and the investment beliefs that he has developed over time. At Baltimore F&P he has taken a particular interest in achieving excellence in governance, given the constraints that are natural in public fund organisations. This has involved a compelling YouTube video (linked here in this Linked In post)  which touches on resource building, partnerships and collaboration and how to scale a lean organisation. We discuss the current asset allocation at the fund, how it has evolved over time and how it is likely to evolve given the current funding challenges faced by public funds. Finally we look at investment office governance and how to create a sustainable organisation where the centre holds for the long haul.A special thank you to our sponsors at Baillie Gifford and GCM Grosvenor. Baillie Gifford is a long-term investment manager, dedicated to discovering the innovations and changemakers that deliver exceptional growth opportunities for you.GCM Grosvenor is a global alternative asset management solutions provider, with more than $90 billion in assets under management across private equity, infrastructure, real estate, credit, and absolute return strategies.For over 50 years, the firm has helped investors navigate the complexities of alternative investing through a flexible, open-architecture platform. GCM Grosvenor is also focused on what's next.

My Guest: Daniel Lubetzky graduated from Stanford Law School. And then declined lucrative job offers to start his own business, only paying himself $24,000 a year for a decade. And then he founded KIND and grew it into a snack brand that Mars later valued at $5 billion dollars. Today he invests full-time on Shark Tank, and he's the son of a Holocaust survivor whose story shaped everything he's built. Find work that gives you energy, purpose, and meaning. If you enjoy what you're doing, you're far more likely to be great at it. And you're already winning, because you get up every morning doing something satisfying. The danger of loving your work is overworking. Daniel did it building PeaceWorks and KIND. You have to pace yourself. His father survived a death march out of Dachau. Twelve and a half when he entered the camp, fifteen and a half during the march. Six feet tall and under 70 pounds, and no shoes. The Nazis were walking prisoners up a mountain to push them off a cliff because they didn't have enough bullets. A snowstorm saved his life. His father, grandfather, and uncle hugged to say goodbye. The snow buried them and formed a kind of igloo that kept them warm through the night. They woke, dug out, and the Nazis were gone. The soldiers who liberated them were Japanese American. The 442nd, the most decorated unit of its size in American history, was made up of men whose own families were being held in internment camps back home. Daniel's family had never seen an Asian person and didn't understand what they were witnessing. Seventy years later, he got to say thank you. A friend called saying they were sitting with a doctor who had a postcard from Larry Lubetzky. That was Daniel's uncle, who had just died. Daniel reconnected with the captain, who had gone on to become a scientist at Harvard, and eventually gave a eulogy at his funeral. The lesson he takes from it isn't perseverance. It's the power of one person to change another person's life. You won't pull off a rescue every day. You can still look someone in the eye at the supermarket. "You have no idea what that person's been going through." Human connection is what pulls people back. At a conference on fighting hate, Daniel heard how young people vulnerable to recruitment were pulled back by ordinary human connection. Being kind in your daily life makes it harder for the people trying to recruit them. There's no such thing as failure or success. Daniel keeps shelves of successes in one office and shelves of failures in another, and now thinks the separation is a mistake. He never would have built KIND without ten years of mistakes at PeaceWorks. PeaceWorks was a college thesis turned into a company. The argument: get neighbors on opposite sides of a conflict doing business together, and you shatter stereotypes, build relationships, and give both sides a stake in each other. He got Israelis, Palestinians, Jordanians, Egyptians, and Turks trading with one another. Daniel turned down $86,000 out of Stanford Law to pay himself $24,000. That's what he could afford, and it's what he paid his team. Grit, wit, and fit. Grit is the work ethic and refusing to give up. Wit is the strategy, the creativity to outthink competitors. Fit is whether the product actually matches what people want. Grit alone isn't enough. Do not assume he was invincible. He cried alone in his studio apartment more than once, convinced he'd made a mistake and was wasting his life. He questioned himself multiple times a day. The jerk who broke him was also right. At a trade show, a buyer told him to stop, that he was way too pushy, to give people space and get out of his life. Daniel was 25 and it broke him. Then he reflected and realized the man was correct. Don't be the ultra-passive person watching the world happen. Don't be the person who only pushes. The job is to be persistent enough to win and be loved for it, which is very hard. "I prepare for anything that I'm not prepared for." Daniel loves winging it and hates preparing. But if there's something he doesn't know, he'll put in the work today, tomorrow, and the day after. Active listening takes real energy. Daniel needs an hour to decompress after every interview he conducts. He's blunt that listening isn't his greatest strength, which is exactly why he's leaning into it. His dad was the best interviewer he ever knew, because he was a coach. When Daniel asked him a question, his father would answer with another question and let him find it himself. A great coach or parent doesn't tell you what to do. They help you ask the questions you need to ask yourself. Telling is the easier skill. Kids keep you humble, and that's the point. You need someone in your life who can call you out when you start thinking too much of yourself, whether that's your kids, your spouse, or your team. KIND started because the healthy snack aisle didn't exist. Training for the 2002 New York City Marathon, Daniel's options were food that tasted like astronaut rations or pure indulgence. Nothing was portable, wholesome, and convenient at the same time. KIND was named after his father, who died the year they launched. Everyone who met him described him the same way. He saw his mission in life as bringing smiles to others. The name became the three pillars: kind to your body, kind to your taste buds, kind to the world. They took a vote on whether to quit. Six or seven people around a table, ten hard years behind them, a major account just lost. The choice was one more shot or two months to go find jobs. They all voted to try again. Then KIND launched. Sampling was the inflection point. Daniel had been treating it as a cost. It was an investment. They went from $800 in 2008 to $800,000 in 2009 to $20 million in free product within a few years, which is what let them scale. Sampling only works if the mousetrap is right. If one in ten people like it, you'll lose your shirt. Nine in ten people who tried a KIND bar wanted to buy more. Those people became the ambassadors. Scarcity, gluttony, and resourcefulness. A wasteful culture runs you into the ground. A scarcity mentality preserves every dollar but caps your potential, because everything looks like a cost center. Resourcefulness is the middle: think like an owner, spend less where you can, and invest where it compounds. Nice and kind are not the same thing. "If you're nice, it doesn't cost you. It's easy. You can be weak and nice. But to be kind, you need to be strong." Kindness requires you to be a protagonist. What Daniel looks for in a founder: Integrity. If he doesn't trust them, no amount of upside matters. Someone worth helping. It's going to be a rollercoaster, and he'll be in the trenches with them. Real passion. Enough that he can sense they'll outwork everyone else. You don't find integrity by asking about integrity. You ask other questions and watch how the person performs. Daniel says Barbara Corcoran is the best on the show at reading people this way. The four C's of a builder's mindset: curious, compassionate, creative, and courageous. Daniel credits them with building KIND, the OneVoice Movement, and everything since. Daniel's champagne moment a year from now: the Builders Movement making real progress. His argument is that every industry has a lobby representing it, and the only group without one is the overwhelming majority of citizens who agree with each other on most issues and want problems solved. He wants a movement that holds all parties and all special interests accountable to that majority. A scarcity mindset versus an abundance mindset. Viewing something as a cost instead of viewing it as an investment. This was Daniel's early mistake with Kind bars. He only budgeted $800 a year for samples. He viewed it as a cost. He changed his mind and realized it was an investment. He upped it to $800,000 per year in samples. And eventually to $20 million a year. Scarcity versus abundance. View it as an investment instead of a cost Daniel's 4 C's of a builder's mindset – curiosity, compassion, creativity, and courage for That's how you build both a company and a movement.  The difference between being nice and being kind. Being nice avoids conflict to protect feelings in the moment. Being kind is about being willing to risk the moment, telling the hard truth because you actually care about them. His dad, grandfather, and uncle – Near the end of the war, Roman, his father, and his brother were death-marched out of Dachau toward the mountains, where the guards meant to push them off a cliff. A freak overnight blizzard scattered the guards; by morning they were gone. The men who found the survivors were the 522nd Field Artillery Battalion — the only all–Japanese–American unit in the U.S. Army, many of whose own families were sitting in American internment camps at that very moment. Daniel has said those soldiers showed a tenderness that "had not been seen in 1945." Magic – Daniel taught himself magic as a kid in Mexico City and actually worked as a traveling magician through Europe and the Middle East for the better part of a year. He still performs one magic show a year for his team... And he's said it's the only thing all year he genuinely prepares for. Everything else, he improvises. "My team is always very concerned that I just jump into stuff." A scarcity mindset versus an abundance mindset. Viewing something as a cost instead of viewing it as an investment. This was Daniel's early mistake with Kind bars. He only budgeted $800 a year for samples. He viewed it as a cost. He changed his mind and realized it was an investment. He upped it to $800,000 per year in samples. And eventually to $20 million a year. Scarcity versus abundance. View it as an investment instead of a cost. Reflection Questions Where in your work are you all grit and no wit or fit? What would change if you spent an hour on strategy before your next hundred hours of effort? Think of the harshest feedback you've ever received. Set aside how it was delivered. Was any of it correct, and what did you do with it? Where in your life are you being nice when the situation calls for you to be kind?

Live from ILTACON | Sponsored by Steno Legal AI isn't just creating new technology. It's creating new roles, new responsibilities and entirely new career paths. Live from ILTACON, David Cowen sits down with Leigh Zeiser, Director of AI and Automation at Troutman, to trace her journey from becoming one of the first Legal Process Engineers in the U.S. in 2018 to leading AI and automation today. Their conversation goes beyond titles. What happens when responsibility grows faster than authority and resources? How do you earn the trust to lead? And what separates the people waiting for the next opportunity from those creating it? Lee also shares what Troutman is learning as Generative AI adoption grows, why deterministic layers matter in legal, and how the firm's agentic AI platform, Athena, is evolving. In this episode: How new Legal AI roles are emerging in real time Why a title without authority and resources isn't enough What happens when AI adoption increases demand instead of reducing it Why career growth requires speaking up, not waiting to be asked How curiosity, accountability, trust and resourcefulness create opportunity Why "everybody owns AI" at Troutman Why deterministic AI may be critical to legal adoption How agentic AI is changing the way lawyers access tools and knowledge Why AI cost, token usage and responsible adoption are becoming leadership issues Chapters 00:10 | From Legal Process Engineer to Director of AI and Automation 01:33 | Eight Years of Emerging Legal AI Roles 02:20 | The Arrival of the Applied AI Manager 03:09 | Role, Responsibility, Authority and Resources 03:28 | Why AI Adoption Is Actually Increasing Demand 04:35 | How to Advocate for Authority and Resources 05:15 | Lead From Any Role 07:00 | Why Speaking Up Creates Career Opportunity 08:12 | Resourcefulness and Learning to Trust Your Talent 09:10 | Everything Is White Space: Don't Wait for the Assignment 10:29 | Why Everybody Owns AI 10:38 | Why Legal AI Needs Deterministic Layers 11:43 | What's Next for Legal AI in 2027? 12:08 | How Troutman's Athena Became Agentic 13:00 | AI Economics, Token Costs and Responsible Adoption 14:24 | Looking Ahead to SOLID Atlanta The Career Signal "You can't wait for anybody to assign it to you." Legal AI is creating white space across the industry. The roles, responsibilities and career paths are still being defined. The people who see an opportunity, step into it, earn trust and advocate for the authority and resources to execute may be the ones who define what these roles become.

Live from ILTACON | Sponsored by Steno AI is everywhere in legal. But the biggest change over the last year isn't simply better answers from AI. It's the ability to begin automating the work itself. Live from ILTACON, David Cowen sits down with Chris Emerson, Chief Legal Operations & Innovation Officer, to explore what AI is actually changing inside legal teams, what still hasn't changed, and where the biggest opportunities are emerging. From the growing war for Legal AI talent to turning knowledge trapped inside lawyers' heads into AI-ready workflows, Chris offers a practical look at where legal is heading next, including how his team built an AI-assisted pre-bill review capability in just 33 days. In this episode: Why AI is moving from assistance to actual workflow automation Why adoption remains one of legal's biggest challenges The four traits tomorrow's legal talent needs: curiosity, adaptability, resourcefulness and grit Why leaders should be investing in their top 20% Why the next AI opportunity is getting knowledge out of people's heads and into workflows How AI is shrinking development cycles from months to weeks What leaders should never delegate to AI: strategy, direction and guardrails Chapters 00:10 | AI Everywhere: What Changed in the Last 12 Months? 01:40 | Why Legal's Adoption Problem Hasn't Changed 02:59 | What Leaders Should Look for in Legal AI Talent 04:05 | Curiosity, Resourcefulness, Adaptability & Grit 05:28 | Why Leaders Need to Invest in Their Top 20% 08:30 | Grit, Failure & Why Lawyers Need Rapid Prototypes 10:36 | What Legal AI Still Needs in 2027 12:07 | Where AI Will Create the Next Career Opportunities 13:13 | Turning Legal Knowledge Into AI Playbooks 14:00 | Building AI-Assisted Pre-Bill Review in 33 Days 14:56 | Building an Internal AI Platform Around Firm Data 15:37 | What Should Humans Keep as AI Automates the Work? The Closing Thought "AI is not aware of where we are culturally on the journey." As AI gets better at doing the work, the responsibility for strategy, direction, guardrails and judgment remains human.

Have you ever finished dealing with something in your business and thought, "Whew, good thing I caught that"? Maybe something almost got missed, you had to step in at the last minute, or you found yourself figuring out how to make something work once again. You handled it, everything worked out, and you kept moving because that's what we do as business owners. Being able to figure things out is a skill, especially when you're building a business and working with what you have. Resourcefulness can take you pretty far. The challenge comes when you've gotten so good at figuring things out that you don't notice how often your business needs you to do it. A business can look like it's working while requiring a whole lot from you behind the scenes to keep it that way. You may still be checking on things you thought you handed off, dealing with an issue that feels a little too familiar, or trying to make the numbers work for another month. You handle it each time, but eventually, it's worth paying attention to what keeps bringing you back to the same place. This episode of the Black to Business podcast gets into what happens when saving the day starts becoming a regular part of running your business. We're talking about the patterns that can be easy to miss when you're busy handling what's in front of you, what those patterns can show you about your business, and how to start making changes that don't always require more from you. DURING THIS EPISODE, YOU'LL LEARN: How to recognize when your resourcefulness has turned into constantly rescuing the business What your financial patterns may be telling you beyond needing more sales How to know when a problem needs more than another quick fix How to make better decisions about what actually needs to change Where to start when several things in your business could use your attention   Thank you so much for listening!

We've all experienced times when we feel like we're in the center of a storm that is completely outside of our control. (If you haven't yet, chances are you will.)We wish the storm would end. We wonder when it will end. We may ask if it will ever end. But perhaps the better question is, “Who am I becoming while I'm in the midst of the storm?”That is where the story of Captain Joshua Slocum comes in. In 1895, he set out alone to sail around the world in a boat measuring just under 37 feet long. With no GPS, no satellite weather system, no communication and no support crew, he left with only his boat, his experience, his judgment and his ability to respond to whatever happened next.More than three years and approximately 46,000 miles later, he became the first person known to circumnavigate the globe alone by sail.Slocum survived storms, 3 years of isolation (think about that), dangerous seas and the uncertainty of survival that surely dominated his thoughts. Through all of it, he developed the character, competence and resourcefulness necessary to navigate successfully through the obstacles.That is where our story of survival can become like his.Every one of us will eventually find ourselves in circumstances we cannot control. Some may be the result of our own choices, and others that we would never have chosen may be thrust upon us.We will face disappointment, detours, setbacks, uncertainty, opposition, loss, grief and seasons when our best efforts seem to produce very little progress.The question is not whether we will encounter storms We will. The question is whether we will become better navigators of the storms of life.Here are 10 lessons from Captain Joshua Slocum's extraordinary journey that can help all of us navigate our own.1. Start With What We HaveSlocum did not begin with a perfect boat. The Spray was an old vessel that required extensive rebuilding before it could carry him around the world. He worked on what he had until it became capable of taking him where he wanted to go.That is a powerful lesson because many of us postpone finding and fulfilling our purpose while waiting for conditions to improve. We tell ourselves that we will begin when we have more money, more education, more confidence, more support, more time or better connections.Meanwhile, years pass.Most meaningful things do not begin under perfect conditions. Purposeful goals begin when we look at what we already have and decide to use it well.We may not have everything we want, but we probably have more than we realize. We have experience, relationships, abilities, the wisdom of lessons learned, access to information, and the capacity to work.Never underestimate all of the assets you already have—character and personality traits, intelligence, determination, courage, resilience, resourcefulness, and all the other good that's already in you. Start there.2. Preparation Creates CourageSlocum was not courageous because he believed the ocean was safe. He knew exactly how dangerous it could be. His confidence came from his knowledge and experience.There is an important difference between courage and recklessness. Recklessness assumes everything will work out. Courage prepares for the possibility that it might not.We sometimes admire people who appear fearless, but authentic confidence comes from preparation. When we practice, study, plan and develop competence, we do not need circumstances to be easy because we did the work necessary to increase our ability to handle difficulty.That applies to almost everything in life. If we want greater responsibility, we need to prepare for it. If we want to lead, we need to become better leaders. If we want financial stability, we need to learn to manage money. If we want healthier relationships, we need to develop healthier listening and communication skills. If we want to pursue an opportunity, we need to develop the skills the opportunity will require.For those of us who have lofty goals, it's important to become capable of achieving them.3. Change the Route, Not the DestinationSlocum originally planned a route that would have taken him through the Mediterranean and the Suez Canal. When conditions made that route too dangerous, he changed course.He did not abandon the goal. He changed the way he intended to reach it. Understanding that principle can save us unnecessary frustration.It's possible to become so attached to our plan that we conflate the plan with our purpose. When that's the case, if things go wrong, we can too easily draw wrong conclusions, and believe that the whole endeavor was a mistake. If we keep the plan separate from our purpose, we will have the ability to make adjustments to the plan and still pursue our purpose.The job may change while the career remains. The business model may change while the mission remains. A relationship may require a different approach. The timeline may be longer than expected. The opportunity may come through a door we hadn't considered.Changing our strategy for implementing the goal is far better than quitting.It's important that we know the difference between our perseverance and our stubbornness. We can stay committed to the purpose and still remain flexible about the route.4. Patience Is StrengthThere were times during Slocum's voyage when he fought wind and current all day and made very little progress. Imagine working from morning until night and discovering that you had moved only a few miles closer to the destination… or maybe even further away from your destination.Most of us know that feeling. We work hard at something. We make responsible decisions. We keep showing up. And still, we see no measurable progress. It is tempting think that we've made a mistake—maybe the biggest mistake of our life.But delayed progress is still progress.Some of the most important things in life cannot be rushed. Healing, trust, character building, nurturing healthy relationships take time. Building anything worthwhile usually takes longer than we would like it to.Patience does not mean sitting still and doing nothing. Patience means continuing to do the right thing without giving up when the results don't happen according to our timetable.Patience means refusing to quit.5. Control What We CanSlocum could not control the wind, the waves, the currents or the weather. He could control his sails, his decisions, his preparation and his response.That may be one of the most useful principles for living with peace.We waste enormous amounts of emotional energy trying to control things that aren't ours to control. We wish we could control other people's decisions, opinions, behavior and reactions. We want certainty about the future. We wish the past had been different.None of those things are fully within our control.What is within our control are our choices, our words, our actions, our attitude, our integrity and our response to every situation we face.There is incredible peace and freedom in accepting this truth. We can do what is ours to do. The sooner we learn to release what is not ours to control, the more peaceful and joyful we will be.6. Resourcefulness Is More Valuable Than ResourcesWhen something breaks in the middle of the ocean, there is no repair shop around the corner.When something in our life breaks and we cannot fix it, we can improvise, adapt, get creative and figure it out, or learn how to live without it.Slocum's voyage is filled with examples of solving problems with what little was available to him at the time.Resourcefulness may be one of the most underrated predictors of success.People who have always had abundant resources can struggle when those resources disappear. On the other hand, people who have had to solve problems, stretch limited resources and find work-arounds tend to develop an extraordinary ability to adapt.The resourceful person says, “We may not know the answer yet, but we will find one.” “We may not have exactly what we need, but let's begin with what we have.” “This is difficult, but not impossible.” “If it was easy, everyone would do it.”Some of the circumstances we would never choose develop in us character traits and skills we may need in the future.7. Learn to Lead OurselvesSlocum had no crew to motivate him, monitor him or make decisions for him. If something needed to be done, he had to recognize it and do it.That required self leadership.Before we can lead anyone else well, we have to learn to lead ourselves, which involves regulating our emotions and controlling our responses.We must determine to keep our commitments. We must be willing to work hard without recognition. We must manage our emotions rather than allowing our emotions to manage us. We must be able to make tough decisions when lesser options would be easier.Character is developed in private long before it is recognized in public.The ability to lead ourselves may ultimately determine how much responsibility we will be trusted to carry.8. Keep Our Sense of HumorOne of the most appealing things about Slocum's story is his sense of humor. He encountered legitimate danger and serious setbacks, yet he did not allow hardship to become his identity or distort his perspective.Humor is an important aspect of the character trait of resilience.Humor does not mean pretending something is not difficult. It means refusing to allow the problem to become our only focus.Sometimes we make hard situations even harder by giving every frustration enormous emotional weight. A small setback becomes a catastrophe. An inconvenience ruins the day. A mistake becomes evidence that everything is falling apart. It's commonly called “catastrophizing,” and that can steal your peace and kill your joy.Sometimes the healthiest response is to acknowledge disappointment, keep the situation in perspective, find something to laugh about if we can, make any necessary adjustments and keep going.Laughter can be an act of faith that everything is going to work out some how, some way. It reminds us that the difficulty is real, but it is not everything.9. Let the Difficulty Teach UsAfter completing his voyage, Slocum reflected that he had learned a lot despite already being a highly experienced sailor.Lessons learned by going through may be one of the greatest gifts hidden inside tough situations.Painful experiences can teach us things comfortable seasons cannot. We learn discernment because someone deceived us. We learn boundaries because we were mistreated after failing to establish them. We learn financial discipline when money becomes scarce. We learn courage when we face a frightening situation. We learn compassion through suffering. We learn resilience when quitting is not an option.Hardship does not automatically make us wiser. Some people become bitter. Some repeat the same mistakes indefinitely. But others mine the lessons out of difficulties and becomes wiser because of them.Wisdom comes when we ask, “What is this teaching me?”Resilience is earned by surviving. Wisdom is earned by seeing difficulties as opportunities to learn and grow. Growth is earned by becoming better as a result of what you've gone through.That is how wounds become wisdom.10. Purpose Can Give Us EnergyOne of the remarkable details of Slocum's journey is that after more than three years at sea, he reportedly returned looking remarkably well, not haggard and exhausted as many people expected.That should make us reconsider the assumption that difficulty always harms us. Sometimes it does. But sometimes what hurts most is suffering without finding the meaning in it.Purpose changes our perspective of difficulty.When we know why something matters, we can endure extraordinary discomfort. Parents do it for their children. Entrepreneurs do it to build something they believe in. Caregivers do it for people they love. People working toward a calling often endure inconveniences they would never tolerate for something meaningless.Purpose does not remove exhaustion, it gives it a reason.There is tremendous energy in knowing, “This matters. Someone will be helped by this. Good can come from this. We are doing something meaningful.”A difficult life is not necessarily an unhappy life. And an easy life is not necessarily a meaningful one.Purposeful Practice: What Kind of Sailors Are We Becoming?It helps to think about the area of our lives right now that feels most like rough water. It may be a relationship, a financial concern, a health issue, a business challenge, a disappointment, an unanswered prayer or simply uncertainty about what comes next.Instead of asking only when the situation will change, we can try to discern what this season is developing in us. Ask yourself these six questions:* What do I already have that I can use to navigate through this situation?* What can I learn from this?* Where would better preparation help?* Is there a route that should be changed while the destination remains the same?* What am I trying to control that is not mine to control?* What skill, strength, character trait, or wisdom could this experience be developing in me?After you've answered these questions for yourself, it will be easier to identify actions that you can take to continue towards your purpose.We do not need to know exactly what the next day will bring. Joshua Slocum could not know every danger that lay between him and home when he began his journey. He simply had to become capable of navigating the water in front of him.Let's not spend our lives wishing for calmer seas. Let's become people who can sail through rough ones. Because sometimes God does calm the storm.Sometimes He teaches us how to sail.“My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” 2 Corinthians 12:9 This is a public episode.

We all know connection is the basis of a relationship but what does it mean and how do we get it? Listen in! Valerie learned Adlerian parenting from me, and I learned about the Enneagram from her. She brings both together in order to gain a deeper understanding of what it means to really connect with our children, and she discusses her formula “Presence + Self Awareness + Self Compassion = Connection”. Valerie breaks it it all down and you get to hear about me as an example of being an Enneagram 2 - “The Helper” - and how that helps me as well as how it can be my saboteur!

Nick Friedman is the co-founder of College Hunks Hauling Junk & Moving, one of the most recognizable home service brands in the country. What started as a college summer side hustle has grown into a $300 million national franchise with more than 100 locations. Nick is also the bestselling author of Effortless Entrepreneur and host of the Hunks Talking Junk podcast. In this episode, he shares the lessons behind scaling a simple service business, building systems that last, and why execution—not flashy ideas—is often the greatest competitive advantage. On this episode we talk about: How College Hunks Hauling Junk & Moving grew from a summer side hustle into a $300 million franchise Why branding, customer experience, and execution matter more than having a revolutionary business idea The power of systems, SOPs, and checklists for scaling any business Lessons learned from franchising, appearing on the very first episode of Shark Tank, and building through economic downturns Why resourcefulness may be the most valuable entrepreneurial skill in the age of AI Top 3 Takeaways You don't need to invent the next tech unicorn to build wealth—improving a "boring" business with better branding, systems, and customer service can create extraordinary results. Sustainable growth comes from documenting processes, empowering great people, and continually refining your systems rather than relying on founder hustle alone. Resourcefulness consistently beats raw intelligence. Entrepreneurs who adapt, solve problems creatively, and execute relentlessly will outperform those with the best ideas. Notable Quotes "Execution is a strategy." "Developing systems is something we do—it's not something we did." "If you can do it just slightly better than the alternative on a consistent basis, you win over time."

AJ Waters wanted to design stadiums. Instead, he ended up rebuilding the operating system for one of the largest construction companies in the world and learning, the hard way, why so many digital transformations quietly collapse in the field.In this episode, AJ takes Jesse inside the messy reality of tech adoption at scale: what it was really like leading a major platform overhaul at Kiewit, why executives sometimes override the "right" decision for reasons that have nothing to do with the data, and the uncomfortable truth about who construction software has historically been built for and who's been left out.They also get into:Why teams keep optimizing for the back office while the people actually swinging hammers get ignoredWhat evaluating project management platforms for Google's data center builds taught AJ about alignment vs. politicsThe surprising throughline between his childhood Lego obsession and how he approaches problem-solving todayWhy AJ started The Engineered Life to talk about "superpowers" most people don't even know they haveIf you've ever wondered why the tools that look perfect in a boardroom fall apart on-site, or why subcontractors always seem to get the short end of the software stick, this one's for you.By the end, you'll understand why AJ measures success by one simple standard: whether he left people, and situations, better than he found them.00:00 Executive Override Reality00:18 Meet AJ Waters02:00 Lego Builds and Movie Nerd03:23 Rebuilding Memorial Stadium05:38 Dreaming of Stadiums08:31 Not Smart Enough to Engineer11:01 Design vs Construction Life11:23 LnM Listener Shoutout13:55 Why Construction Fits People17:48 First Digital Takeoff Win20:16 Resourcefulness and Problem Solving25:17 iPhone Sparked Tech Interest27:56 Volunteering for Transformation29:48 Change Resistance on Site31:32 Design for Field Users33:20 Workarounds and Training Gaps34:58 From Internal Tools to Innate35:50 Owner Side Lessons at Google40:07 Systems vs Human Behavior42:50 Procore vs PlanGrid Politics44:50 Tech Ignores Subs and Owners46:27 AI and Platform Advantage51:15 EngiNerd Life Origin StoryLets leave the Construction Industry Better than We Found It https://www.depthbuilder.com/construction-leadership-lab Download the free PDF copy of Becoming the Promise You are Intended to Be

In this episode of the Owaken Podcast, Lukis Mac and Hella Omega explore the psychology of abundance as a lived mindset that influences every area of life—from money, safety, creativity, energy, relationships, habits, and opportunities to the way we think, feel, and create our reality.Drawing from their 20-year relationship and seasons of both struggle and success, they share why curiosity, vision, resourcefulness, and taking action with what you have are more powerful than waiting for the “perfect” moment.They unpack how scarcity activates the nervous system into survival (fight, flight, freeze, and fawn), leading to contraction, fear, holding on, and stagnation, while abundance creates greater flow through trust, giving, receiving, and aligning with the natural seasons of life.Throughout the conversation, they share pivotal personal stories—including spending their last $120 on festival tickets in Bali that unexpectedly led to life-changing connections and an invitation to Los Angeles, as well as a childhood manifestation experience that shaped their understanding of intention and possibility.This episode also explores self-worth, receiving, overcoming subconscious blocks, making decisive choices, investing in yourself and your environment, treating effort as devotion, and learning to embody the feelings of your future while surrendering the need to control exactly how it unfolds.00:00 – Psychology of Abundance00:50 – Welcome and Intentions02:00 – Abundance Through Life Seasons03:52 – From Broke to Vision06:15 – Curiosity Creates Possibility08:40 – Thrifting and Manifestation12:18 – Resourcefulness and Starting Now15:49 – Scarcity and the Nervous System20:29 – Nature's Seasons and Money Cycles23:29 – Receiving, Self-Worth and Overgiving27:19 – Rewrite Your Story and Choose Again28:17 – The Bali Story Begins28:48 – Betting the Last $12030:42 – Festival Miracle Vouchers31:18 – How Breathwork Opened the Door to Los Angeles34:50 – The Fork in the Road36:03 – The Ice Cream Manifestation Story38:13 – Dream First, Figure Out the How Later39:35 – Why Wealthy People Invest in Their Environment41:51 – Buy Nice or Buy Twice44:38 – Surrender and Embody Your Future Now50:10 – Effort as an Abundance Practice53:50 – Effort Is Love.

In this episode, we explore embodied leadership and how authentic impact comes from cultivating a deep inner connection rather than chasing external validation.The Myth of External Fulfillment: Katherine Patrullo describes her journey of seeking validation and lasting confidence through external achievements and how it ultimately left her feeling empty until she turned inward and embraced self-connection and embodiment.Redefining Leadership: Many women arrive at moments of "success" expecting fulfillment, but find themselves disconnected because they followed a linear, strategy-based leadership model instead of aligning leadership style to their authentic self.Embodied Practices & Tantric Philosophy: Katherine shares how tools from tantra, kundalini, and Taoist philosophy help women reconnect to their bodies, process emotions, and cultivate internal safety—which are vital for sustainable influence and resiliency.The Power of Integration: Meaningful change doesn't come just from a single practice or breakthrough moment; it's about integrating those insights into everyday micro-moments and being compassionate with the “shadow” and the nervous system along the way.Resourcefulness and Self-Compassion: The journey to embodied leadership involves honoring past coping mechanisms, resourcing yourself through tools like breathwork and somatic safety, and taking radical responsibility for how you show up as a leader.TLDR: If you're a woman seeking purpose, power, and sustainable impact, look inward—embodied leadership isn't about a job title or outside reward, but about cultivating a resourced and authentic sense of self that you can bring to every facet of life and leadership. Integration and inner safety are the real game-changers.Thank you for listening!If this episode inspired you, please screenshot and share it on social media—be sure to tag @meganswanwellness so we can cheer you on.

What if the way you see someone could completely change the way you connect with them?Steph dives into one of the most foundational beliefs in coaching: that people are naturally creative, resourceful, and whole. This powerful mindset shift can reshape how we communicate, how we show up in relationships, and how we view ourselves. When we stop trying to fix the people around us and start assuming their wholeness, something shifts. Steph explores how positive assumptions fuel resilience, personal growth, and stronger self-belief, and offers a practical challenge to help you start applying this principle right away.In this episode you'll discover:Foundational belief in coaching: people are naturally creative, resourceful, and wholeImpact of mindset on relationships and communicationApplying the belief in personal and professional lifeThe influence of positive assumptions on success and resilienceYour takeaways:Assuming people are whole and resourceful transforms how you communicate and connect with themShifting your internal dialogue away from "fixing" mode dismantles saboteurs and builds resilienceYou can start applying this mindset today by choosing to see one person in your life as naturally creative, resourceful, and wholeChapters00:00 The Foundation of Coaching: A New Perspective01:29 Embracing Creativity and Resourcefulness in Relationships03:08 The Power of Assumptions in Communication05:22 Influence of Beliefs on Self-Perception07:28 Dismantling Saboteurs: A Path to Empowerment09:02 Challenge: Assume Wholeness in Others

Let me introduce you to Karl.I met Karl through JJ Virgin, one of the most well-known and respected leaders in the health and business space. Since meeting Karl, I've admired his quiet, humble success. He's the kind of person who's built real results without needing to be loud about it. Just a good human doing good work, coming from a grounded place.Karl is a serial entrepreneur, advisor, and three-time INC. 5000 CEO with nearly four decades of experience leading companies at the highest level. He's held roles as CEO, President, COO, and CMO, advised everyone from startups to Fortune 100 companies, and is the author of Hustle Doesn't Scale.In my interview with Karl… here's the takeaway:He built it. Lost it. Went bankrupt. Built it all back again. And then gave it all away to start over from scratch—not because he had to, but to prove that today, with AI and modern tools, you can start from anywhere, at any age, and rebuild success without the grind.This is a conversation about what actually works now. Less hustle. More leverage. More resourcefulness. And building a business that doesn't consume your life.What we talked about:Building success… losing everything… and choosing to start over againWhy hustle eventually breaks down (and what replaces it)The real reason entrepreneurs become the bottleneckHow to rebuild income with less time and more leverageUsing AI and modern tools to accelerate growthThe difference between working hard and working strategicallyWhy resourcefulness matters more than moneyCreating a business that supports your life, not consumes it⏱ Timestamps 00:00 Introduction to Karl and how we met02:10 Karl's early entrepreneurial journey and first success05:30 Building multiple companies and hitting major milestones09:45 The collapse — losing everything and going bankrupt14:20 The emotional and financial reality of starting over18:10 Rebuilding from scratch with limited resources22:30 Why hustle doesn't scale (and where it breaks)26:45 Becoming the bottleneck in your own business31:00 The shift to systems, leverage, and self-managed teams36:20 Giving it all away and choosing to start over again40:10 Using AI and modern tools to rebuild faster and smarter45:30 What success looks like now vs. before49:00 Resourcefulness vs. money — the real advantage52:30 Advice for anyone in a rebuild or transition56:00 Final thoughts and key takeaway

Resourcefulness, resilience, and collaboration are critical mindsets, and skill sets, for students to develop. For schools to support those outcomes, educators must have the opportunity to develop the same. Mitch Weisburgh, the author of, "Mindshifting: Stop Your Brain from Sabotaging Your Happiness and Success," explores the importance and possibilities.

Talking about money in families is hard. Talking about legacy is even harder. In this conversation with host Syama Bunten, Amy Castoro gets into why so many wealth transfers go sideways. Not because of bad legal structures or poor planning, but because families never learn to talk to each other. About what they actually need. About what they're afraid of. About what the money means to them and what they want it to mean for the next generation. When those conversations don't happen, conflict fills the gap and the wealth that was supposed to bring a family together ends up pulling it apart. Amy talks about the pressure that lands on the next generation, the damage that lingers after family conflict over money, and why women are increasingly at the center of these conversations as decision-makers, caregivers, and keepers of family culture. But before all of that, she shares where her perspective actually comes from. She grew up watching her mother stretch every dollar, lead with generosity, and hold things together through sheer resourcefulness. That upbringing gave her a particular lens on what wealth actually means and what it costs families who treat it as a financial problem instead of a human one. It's that backstory that explains how she became CEO of The Williams Group and why she approaches this work the way she does. This episode is part of a larger conversation Syama is building at Wealth Catalyst, salons and summits where women talk candidly about money, legacy, and what it actually takes to get it right. If that's the room you've been looking for, find a salon near you or join us at the Wealth Catalyst Summit in New York on May 14th.

What if your relationship with money isn't really about money, but about the stories you've been carrying since childhood? In this conversation, Dr. Felecia Froe sits down with Dr. Darla Bishop to explore how our earliest money experiences shape the way we live, earn, and make decisions today. From childhood moments that tied money to love and security to navigating very different financial realities, Darla shares how she began to question what she had been taught—and chose a new path. This episode is a reminder that financial empowerment isn't just about earning more. It's about thinking differently, building confidence, and recognizing that even small shifts can open the door to a different future.   00:00 – The First Money Stories We Carry  09:14 – Growing Up Between Wealth and Resourcefulness 18:32 – Confidence Is Learned, Not Given 28:11 – The College Wake-Up Call Around Money 38:39 – Why Teaching Kids Changes Everything 48:46 – Money, Health, and the Power of Options   Ready to take the first step?   Connect with us today: Website: moneywithmission.comLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/moneywithmission/   The 14-Day Wealth Alignment Journey is Out Now! https://moneywithmission.co/14-days-wealth-alignment    Connect with Dr. Darla!

In this episode, I explore how resourcefulness is a powerful form of wealth consciousness and how embodying “Queen energy” has shifted the way I approach self-care. From DIY beauty rituals to slowing down and using my time intentionally, I share how these small changes have saved thousands while deepening my sense of self-worth and inner richness.

We all want our kids to be confident, resourceful, and to know what they're good at. The trouble is that we make two big mistakes as parents: We either don't give them enough challenge, or we burn them out with too much. Do your kids know that they have what it takes to overcome struggle? Do they feel confident in knowing what to do when it comes to life skills and everyday tasks like cooking, cleaning, doing laundry, or taking care of animals? Do they know what they're good at and have a healthy sense of what to do with things they're not good at? We call this resourcefulness, and it's one of the most important traits to cultivate in our kids. What is resourcefulness? How do we offer a healthy dose of both support and challenge to help our kids build resilience? What do you do when you see things in your kids they don't see in themselves? These are the questions we tackle in this episode. Time Stamps:0:00 Introduction1:24 What resourcefulness is and the two extremes we tend to take as parents7:40 The good and hard of giving children responsibility12:03 Giving kids support while offering challenge19:38 How to know if you've over-supported or over-challenged24:15 When you see things in your kids they don't see in themselves30:00 When you push beyond what you think you're capable of Show Notes:Get 10 Days of the Easter Story: A Family Experience Through the Feelings of Holy Weekhttps://amzn.to/4lpPGQf Join our KidsRQ Community: www.kidsrq.com Looking for a marriage intensive with Famous at Home?

Leanne Hughes wrote the name of a podcast she didn't have on a blue Post-it note, dropped it in a hat, and when her name was called — walked on stage and described the show as if it existed. It didn't. A few months later, the First Time Facilitator was born. That's also how she landed a Wiley publishing deal, and sold out a 50-person consulting conference in eight days.The pattern is always the same: claim it first, build it second. Resourcefulness shows up after commitment, not before it. Waiting until you're ready is the riskier move.In this episode: why tight deadlines are a gift, what happens when you fuse your identity with your work, and why disliking failure and fearing it are two very different things.Links to learn more about Leanne:Website: https://www.leannehughes.comWork Fame Substack: https://workfa.meLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/leannehughes/Instagram: https://www.youtube.com/@LeanneHughesYouTube: https://www.instagram.com/leannehughes/Any thoughts?

We all get stuck. Even smart, capable, high-performing people. Not because we lack ideas or intelligence, but because pressure narrows our thinking. When stress kicks in, our survival brain takes over. And while that part of the brain is brilliant at keeping us alive, it's not always great at helping us succeed. In this episode of Sticky From The Inside, Andy Goram sits down with Mitch Weisburgh, creator of the Mind Shifting method, to explore what really happens when we slip into reactive, limbic-mode thinking and how to deliberately move back into a calmer, more resourceful state. Mitch breaks down the difference between the survival brain and the higher-order, prefrontal cortex. He explains why certainty can be a warning sign, how stress hormones shut down curiosity and empathy, and what we can do in the moment to shift from reaction to response. This isn't about mindset hacks. It's about understanding your own operating system and learning how to stop your brain sabotaging your success. If you care about personal growth, fulfilling work, and staying resourceful under pressure, this one's for you. ----more---- Key Takeaways Your brain defaults to survival. The limbic system reacts in milliseconds, often before logic gets a say. Certainty can be a warning sign. When you're absolutely sure of something, you may already be in survival mode. The pause is powerful. Self-awareness, internal dialogue, and changing focus can help flush stress hormones and restore clarity. Success requires shifting, not striving harder. Resourcefulness comes from accessing curiosity, empathy, and long-term alignment, not gripping tighter. ----more---- Key Moments The key moments in this episode are: 0:01:16 – Why smart people still get stuck 0:03:14 – Meet Mitch Weisburgh and the Mind Shifting mission 0:10:06 – Why resourcefulness, resilience and collaboration matter 0:15:59 – The survival brain vs the prefrontal cortex 0:19:35 – The decision is made before the logic arrives 0:20:24 – The crux of mind shifting explained 0:21:18 – From reaction to calmer, reasoned response 0:23:23 – The pause: breath, focus and resetting 0:26:54 – Using visualisation to get unstuck 0:38:09 – Working with triggering people 0:42:29 – Three Sticky Notes for staying resourceful ----more---- Join The Conversation Find Andy Goram on LinkedIn here Listen to the Podcast on YouTube here Follow the Podcast on Instagram here Follow the Podcast on Twitter here Follow the Podcast on Facebook here Check out the Bizjuicer website here Get a free consultation with Andy here Check out the Bizjuicer blog here Download the podcast here ----more---- Useful Links Follow Mitch Weisburgh on LinkedIn here Find Mitch's Mind Shifting Blog here Find Mitch's website here ----more---- Full Episode Transcript Get the full transcript of the episode here

The biggest difference between people who move forward and those who stay stuck is how they approach opportunities. Most people hesitate. They overthink. They ask questions like, “Am I free that weekend?” or “Maybe I'll go next time.” And before you know it, the moment has passed.But when someone presents an opportunity with excitement and certainty, instead of making it optional, they make it clear that this is where they show up.In this episode of Diamond Life Mentor Uncut, Balazs W Kardos discusses why being resourceful beats having resources in the network marketing business and community.You will hear powerful insights and motivation around:Promoting your eventUnemployment and taking actionEvaluating leads in the sales processQualities to look for in a team memberBeing resourceful versus having resourcesBalazs notes that the most determined individuals come from the toughest challenges. They are driven, proactive, open to learning, and resourceful in solving problems.While success is not guaranteed, it creates the possibility for these people to take advantage of opportunities others walk away from. And that is the best quality a team member should have to thrive in this industry, because resources can disappear and circumstances can change, but resourcefulness stays."Sometimes the most motivated people are unemployed, going through a difficult time in life, and they are the ones who want it the most. So the three most important things to look at are hungry, willing, coachable, and resourceful." - Balazs W KardosDiscover why the people who succeed are not always the ones who start with the most advantages, but the ones who refuse to let their current situation define what is possible.

It was about understanding that resourcefulness creates money, not the other way around. When you can't buy your way out of problems, you learn to figure things out. You ask better questions. You develop skills by pushing through the fear and insecurity. You stop throwing money at everything and start creating value with what you already have. Lewis touches on why lottery winners go bankrupt because they got money without building the muscle to keep it. He saw his friend Tim Sykes chase Lamborghinis and luxury homes until one moment with grateful kids holding pencils in a rural school stripped away all the noise and revealed what actually mattered.The real gift of being broke is the question it forces you to answer: who are you without your money? Your character. Your work ethic. Your creativity. Your integrity. Those things don't disappear when your bank account is low. That's your abundance, not the numbers in your wallet. Being broke teaches you to separate your worth from your wallet, to respect money by learning how it moves and breathes, to develop discipline and delayed gratification. It clarifies what actually matters when all the distractions lose their power. These aren't lessons you lose when more money comes in. They scale with you. They become the compass that keeps you aligned when the zeros start adding up. If you're in a broke season right now, this isn't punishment. It's preparation for something bigger than just having more money. It's about building a rich life rooted in purpose, peace, and alignment with who you actually are.Sign up for the Greatness newsletter: http://www.greatness.com/newsletter Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

In this episode, a former drug trafficker "Fernando" breaks down how crystal meth from Mexico's most violent region flooded small-town America — and how he lived at the center of it. Raised in a multi-generation trafficking family tied to Michoacán, Fernando reveals how meth labs in Mexico, tight-knit immigrant networks, and overlooked U.S. towns created one of the most devastating drug pipelines in modern history. From burying cash in the ground to moving hundreds of pounds before age 20, this is an unfiltered look at the business, culture, and consequences of the meth trade. Fernando discusses: -Why Michoacán became the epicenter of crystal meth -How cartel families expand into small U.S. towns -The economics of meth vs cocaine -Gambling, narco culture, and “front” businesses -How federal cases are quietly built for years -Life inside federal prison and the cost to family -Why leaving the game is harder than entering it This episode is raw, detailed, and brutally honest — a firsthand account of how an entire system operates in plain sight.
