The future of healthcare is not limited to clinics and hospitals. It is increasingly about meeting patients where they are and supporting them between visits. In this episode, I speak with Aqil Chishty, CEO of TimeDoc Health, about shifting healthcare from episodic visits to continuous, longitudinal care. Aqil explains how TimeDoc Health serves as a bridge between patients and providers through chronic care management, remote patient monitoring, behavioral health support, and other virtual care programs. We discuss why compassion is essential for effective care coordination, how regular communication can prevent unnecessary hospital visits, and why healthcare organizations must listen closely to both patients and clients. Aqil also shares why he believes the home will become an increasingly important setting for care delivery. Tune in to learn how compassionate care coordination can close gaps, support providers, and help patients manage their health between appointments!

Supply chain performance is still being measured by outdated assumptions. Lora Cecere argues that optimizing individual functions for lower cost does not necessarily improve the business. In fact, it can throw the entire supply chain out of balance. Better performance starts with understanding what is actually feasible within an industry, focusing on the metrics that drive value, and recognizing that supply chains are complex systems that cannot be improved one function at a time. In this episode of Supply Chain Now, Scott Luton speaks with Lora Cecere, founder of Supply Chain Insights, and Wael Abdelmalek, CEO at Uthereal, about the research behind Supply Chains to Admire and how that work is being brought into Ask Lora, an AI-enabled benchmarking and advisory platform. They explore why traditional supply chain rankings and generic AI tools can reinforce conventional thinking, how verified research and industry-specific data can create better benchmarks, and why leaders need a more balanced view of growth, operating margin, inventory turns, and return on capital employed when evaluating performance. Lora and Wael also explain how Ask Lora combines 10 years of research and benchmarking data with a private large language model designed specifically for supply chain decision-making. Rather than serving only as a Q&A tool, users are applying it as a trusted peer to benchmark performance, review strategy documents, pressure-test presentations, compare organizational and technology maturity, and challenge assumptions before taking ideas to leadership.Jump into the conversation:(00:00) Introduction(01:14) Meet Lora Cecere, founder of Supply Chain Insights, and Wael Abdelmalek, CEO at Uthereal(04:36) Fearless Friday: career leaps and personal risk-taking stories(08:04) The origin of Supply Chains to Admire and why "best practices" is a myth(14:44) What supply chain leaders still get wrong about cost and performance(19:22) What is Ask Lora?

Most transportation companies talk about technology, efficiency, and growth. But after more than 50 years in the industry, the lesson is simpler: people, relationships, and the ability to adapt are what keep a business moving forward. Scott Luton speaks with Marcia Taylor, owner and CEO of Bennett Family of Companies, about resilience, leadership, entrepreneurship, and the evolution of transportation. They explore how Bennett grew from 15 trucks and 30 trailers into a diversified transportation and logistics organization, why listening to customers shaped its expansion, how the company has preserved its family culture through decades of growth, and where AI and emerging technology fit into the future of trucking.Marcia explains why diversification helped Bennett navigate changing markets, why AI should support people rather than replace customer and driver relationships, and why leaders must always be developing the next generation. She also shares why professional drivers deserve more recognition, how strong values guide difficult decisions, and why staying close to customers remains one of the best ways to understand what comes next.

Supply chains used to be built primarily around cost and efficiency. Abe Eshkenazi says that era is over. Today's leaders have to balance AI, resilience, geopolitical risk, talent, cybersecurity, and a level of disruption that makes predicting what comes next nearly impossible. In this episode of Supply Chain Now, Scott Luton speaks with Abe Eshkenazi, CEO at the Association for Supply Chain Management (ASCM), about how the supply chain profession is changing. From what organizations need to get right before scaling AI, to the reshaping of globalization, the growing importance of optionality, and the evolution of the chief supply chain officer into an enterprise strategist, Abe breaks down the forces redefining supply chain leadership. Abe explains why AI success depends less on the technology itself and more on data, talent, governance, and strong processes; why globalization is not disappearing but being redrawn around resilience and regionalization; and why supply chain leaders can no longer focus solely on operations. He also shares how ASCM is preparing professionals for jobs that do not yet exist, what leaders can expect from CHAINge 2026, and why his book, “The Chain: Links That Bind Us”, starts the supply chain story with the consumer rather than the factory.

What does it really take to influence when you do not have formal authority? In this conversation with Laura Sellers, global executive and team coach for Procurement professionals, we explore why influence, confidence and relationship-building are essential leadership capabilities for professionals who want to elevate their impact across an organisation.  Laura shares why introverted energy is not a barrier to influence or leadership presence, and how some of the most impactful leaders are not the loudest in the room, but those who choose their moment, build strong relationships and communicate with intention. We discuss the shift many professionals need to make as they become more senior, moving from technical expertise into relationship-based influence. This is especially important when you are influencing without authority, working across functions, collaborating remotely or navigating cultural differences. What you will learn in this episode: Why introverted energy can be a strength in leadership and influence How to challenge narrow ideas of what confidence should look like Ethical influence is not manipulation Why relationships are central to influencing without authority 'What does good look like?'- a simple question for complex dynamics How the drama triangle can help you understand conflict patterns Bringing more of yourself into your leadership  How does your natural communication style help you influence, and where might it need to flex? Before you step into a difficult conversation, what role could you be playing in the relationship dynamic? What part of yourself might you be leaving behind when you communicate in a different culture, language or context?

In this episode of Supply Chain Now, Scott Luton and special guest co-host Wanda Johnson speak with Andrew Rice, senior ERP technical product manager at Gallo, about the wine supply chain. From grape to glass, government regulation and the three-tier system, harvest and weather risk, inventory and aging complexity, and how technology like agentic AI is transforming operations. Andrew explains why wine supply chain complexity comes down to regulation and aging, how Gallo balances luxury and commercial brands against the unpredictability of nature, why most wine should actually be consumed within one to five years rather than aged indefinitely, and how Gallo's tech-forward culture is helping the company scale one of the world's oldest industries.

Courageous leadership is often misunderstood as being bold, forceful or unafraid.  In this conversation with Diana Osagie, leadership coach, trainer, consultant, author and keynote speaker, we explore a much more human definition of courage at work. Diana's core idea is that courageous leadership means staying human when the situation is challenging you to become something else. Under pressure, many leaders revert to the habits that keep them safe, but those habits may not be what the team or organisation needs. She challenges us to consider whether we care enough to hold up the mirror, tell the truth and help people do excellent work, even when that may feel uncomfortable. Diana also introduces Juggernaut Thinking, her approach to helping leaders and organisations build deeper clarity around what they are for, how they behave under pressure and what they need to stop carrying. Diana is the founder of Courageous Leadership Consultancy and The Academy of Women's Leadership. With 26 years' experience leading secondary education, she brings deep practical insight into leading under pressure, alongside her work as an author of five books on leadership. What you will learn in this episode: How pressure can push leaders into unhelpful habit patterns What it means to stay human when leadership feels difficult What professional love encompasses, and how it supports accountability The role of clean motivations in difficult conversations The cultural dynamics in courageous conversations  A practical structure for speaking truth to power with respect Diana's framework, Juggernaut Thinking  What habits do you default to under pressure? How comfortable are you holding your team truly accountable? What does courageous leadership look like to you?

Healthcare organizations need to understand what their AI can access, what it does, and how its decisions affect patients. In this episode, I speak with Eddie Borrero, Chief Information Technology Officer at Cyera, about helping healthcare organizations adopt AI while protecting sensitive data and maintaining strong governance. Eddie explains how companies are implementing AI across the workforce, business platforms, and software development, and why each area requires clear controls, accountability, and oversight. We also discuss his “offense and defense” framework, the importance of least-privilege access, and the risks created when AI agents inherit more permissions than they need. Eddie also shares why healthcare leaders need visibility, traceability, and explainability to understand how AI uses data and makes decisions.

What guidelines should coaches follow in using (and not using) AI? AI is here to stay, and we have to adjust. Coaches who niche down to one specialty become replaceable, while those who bring their full constellation of experience become irreplaceable. In this episode, you'll learn three waves of AI use for coaches, along with the practical AI tools she has created to perform specific tasks on her team. You'll learn about the new app that came from her personal history of childhood trafficking and coercive control. Join us to learn more!Dr. Lisa Turner is the founder of CET Freedom and the creator of a suite of AI tools that help coaches and practitioners make the invisible visible. A Ph.D. engineer in mathematical modeling who transitioned into a consciousness and transformation specialist, she has spent over 20 years training coaches and practitioners. She builds AI that augments their work rather than replacing it. Her TEDx talk, "How AI Can Free Us From Invisible Control,” grew out of her experience of coercive control and her conviction that there is always an algorithm underneath human patterns, if you know how to find it. Known as the “Rational Mystic” for bridging engineering precision and deep inner work, she was recently named number 10 in TechRound's Top 50 Women in Tech and Startups. As the author of five books, she helps coaches hear what their clients aren't saying and shows clients the patterns they can't yet see for themselves. Show Highlights:Understanding the “Venn Diagram of You” (There may not be another person with the same “circles” of expertise as you. You are irreplaceable. Don't niche down; niche OUT.)The big question: “Do your clients think they can replace you, their coach, with AI?”The 3 waves of AI: content creation, agentic AI, and pattern-revealing AIHow coaches can use AI tools to better the client experience.The difference between “made by AI” and “made with AI”Try Lisa's tool, BeliefScan, for free analysis of your sales conversations.

AI adoption is not really a technology question. It's a trust question, and trust levels shift dramatically depending on where a company operates and who its customers are. In this episode of Supply Chain Now, Scott Luton and co-host Bill Huber, retired VP CFO at VELUX, speak with Theodora Lau, founder of Unconventional Ventures, about trust and AI adoption, open banking and data interoperability, fragmented data versus bad data, workforce retraining, and the lessons global supply chains can borrow from fintech. Theo explains how to tell healthy friction from harmful friction, treat fragmented data differently from bad data, judge AI initiatives by outcomes instead of token usage, and build systems that keep people, not service providers, in control of their own data. Jump into the conversation: (00:00) Introduction (09:41) Theo Lau's path from telecom to fintech innovation (17:35) Why trust, not technology, drives AI adoption (20:17) What GDPR and the EU AI Act reveal about governance and trust (28:04) Lessons supply chain can borrow from open banking and fintech (38:27) What separates real AI transformation from bolting AI onto broken processes (43:13) The difference between fragmented data and bad data (54:16) A JD Power stat reshaping how consumers ask financial questions Additional Links & Resources: Connect with Theodora Lau: https://www.linkedin.com/in/vineetvashishta/ Learn more about Unconventional Ventures: https://www.linkedin.com/in/billhuberatlanta/ Connect with Bill Huber: https://www.linkedin.com/in/billhuberatlanta/ Learn more about VELUX: http://www.velux.com Learn more about our hosts: https://supplychainnow.com/about Learn more about Supply Chain Now: https://supplychainnow.com Watch and listen to more Supply Chain Now episodes here: https://supplychainnow.com/program/supply-chain-now Subscribe to Supply Chain Now on your favorite platform: https://supplychainnow.com/join Work with us!

Taking the risk no one else will: how Medical 21 is working to replace harvested blood vessels with an artificial coronary artery that becomes part of the patient's own body. In this episode, Manny Villafana, Founder and CEO of Medical 21, returns to discuss his team's progress in developing an artificial coronary artery for bypass surgery. Drawing on more than five decades of medical device innovation, he reflects on how his earlier companies helped create longer-lasting pacemakers and lifelong heart valves that transformed cardiovascular care. Manny explains how Medical 21's graft is designed to grow into a living blood vessel made from the patient's own cells, potentially eliminating the need to harvest vessels during bypass surgery and reducing pain, recovery time, infection risk, and costs. He also shares updates on the company's preclinical progress, partnership with the Mayo Clinic, fundraising efforts, and why pursuing seemingly impossible ideas is essential to advancing medicine.

Fear and shame get short-term results. They also burn people out, destroy trust, and make flourishing impossible, which is why those results rarely last. Host Ashish Kothari sits down with Laura Berland and Evan Harrel, founders of the Center for Compassionate Leadership (1,200+ leaders trained across 75 countries), to unpack why compassionate leadership matters most in the age of AI, and why it is the opposite of being nice. It means setting boundaries, delivering hard feedback, and holding people accountable while protecting their dignity.You'll hear how a single interview question quietly reshaped an entire hospital network, and why the ripple reached the receptionist at the front door. You'll get three moves any leader can make this week without waiting for permission, starting with the boundary you've been avoiding. If you lead a team and suspect command-and-control is costing you more than it delivers, this conversation is your way out.What You Will Learn:1. Ask what AI can elevate, not what it can replace.Replacement thinking stagnates. Elevation thinking compounds. Before your next AI decision, ask what human capability this tool could amplify.2. Compassion is not niceness.Nice avoids the hard conversation because it wants to be liked. Compassion speaks truth with dignity: "It's not okay for you to do this, and I believe you can do better, and I will help you do better."3. Regulate before you deliver hard feedback.Feedback given from anger arrives with a closed heart and a verdict already reached. Ground yourself first, then lead with curiosity about what's missing.4. One small move in a role, routine, or network. Culture follows.A hospital shifted its entire culture with a single interview question. Steal the meeting prompt: "Tell me one way you can be supported or challenged this week."5. Go first. The ripple travels further than you think.Compassionate acts move at least three degrees of contact. Set one boundary this week with kindness, or reach out to one person for no reason other than connection.Episode Chapters: 00:00 Opening framing on AI, workplace humanity, and the risk of treating people as expendable.05:20 Why leaders need to recognize interdependence rather than rely on individualism and control.09:07 Compassion versus “being nice”: accountability, hard feedback, and dignity can coexist.18:19 A hospital leader's small hiring change that helped shift a culture toward compassion.27:38 The story of a middle manager building grassroots support during organizational burnout and resistance.45:08 Three practical actions leaders can take immediately: invite support, set a kind boundary, and build a new human connection.Resources:Connect with the GuestsLinkedIn: Laura BerlandLinkedIn: Evan HarrelWebsite: Center For Compassionate LeadershipConnect with the HostLinkedIn: Ashish KothariWebsite: Happiness SquadBook: Hardwired For HappinessYouTube: Happiness Squad ChannelTEDx: How to make flourishing your competitive edgeIf this conversation sparked something for you, please subscribe and leave a review, it takes 30 seconds and helps more people discover the show.

In Part Two of our series "Come In Out Of The Weather", Bill and Roger teach that what you believe and think determines what you experience, urging you to expect the supernatural by aligning your thoughts and words with Scripture. They emphasize recognizing God's voice through thoughts that match the Word, taking thoughts captive, and tearing down mental strongholds and vain imaginations with 2 Corinthians 10, calling fear "faith in the devil." Using Psalm 91, they explain dwelling in the secret place, speaking "I will say of the Lord," and trusting God's deliverance, protection, and angelic help. They share stories of praying before trips that were followed by near-miss accidents and of speaking over cattle work that then went smoothly, presenting these as results of yielding to the Holy Spirit and declaring God's promises.

If you're doing everything "right" for your sleep and still waking up exhausted, tossing and turning at night, or lying in bed with your brain running a mile a minute, the problem might not be your nighttime routine. It might be what your brain has learned to do when you get into bed. In this episode, I'm sitting down with licensed psychologist Jessica Meers to talk about the psychology of sleep, insomnia, and why some of the things we do to compensate for a bad night of sleep can actually keep the cycle going. Jessica specializes in treating insomnia without medication using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I). She explains why sleep is both biological and psychological, how we can unintentionally train ourselves to associate our beds with stress and wakefulness, and why there is no perfect sleep routine that works for everyone. We also talk about overthinking at night, maintaining a consistent wake time, what to do when you can't fall back asleep, creating a sleep-supportive environment, and how hormonal changes during perimenopause and menopause can affect sleep. If you've been chasing the perfect bedtime routine but still aren't sleeping well, this conversation may help you look at sleep in a completely different way. In This Episode, We Cover: Why sleep affects so much more than how tired you feel the next day The relationship between poor sleep and mental health Why the "5 AM club" approach isn't right for everyone How individual sleep needs can change with age and life circumstances Why sleep is both a biological process and a learned behavior How lying awake, worrying, and tossing and turning can reinforce poor sleep patterns Why overthinkers often struggle when everything finally gets quiet at night Jessica's strategy for scheduling "worry time" before bed Why getting out of bed may be better than staying there trying to force yourself to sleep How to distinguish insomnia symptoms from potential signs of sleep apnea What Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) is Why a consistent wake-up time can be one of the most important parts of improving sleep Why sleeping in to "catch up" after a bad night can disrupt your rhythm How to create a simple wind-down buffer before bed Why temperature and light matter for sleep Why the perfect sleep environment may not be enough when your nervous system is on high alert The relationship between perimenopause, menopause, hormones, and sleep Why addressing sleep may require support from more than one type of practitioner Sleep Is More Than Feeling Tired We tend to think about poor sleep in terms of how we feel the next morning. We're tired. We're foggy. We need more coffee. We don't have the energy we normally have. But Jessica explains that sleep reaches much further than our energy levels. As a psychologist, she pays particular attention to the relationship between sleep and mental health. Poor sleep and insomnia are closely connected with conditions like anxiety and depression, and sleep difficulties can sometimes appear before other mental health symptoms. Sleep also intersects with hormones and metabolic health, which is one of the reasons getting consistent, restorative sleep matters so much for our overall health. This isn't simply about getting enough hours so you can be productive tomorrow. Sleep is one of the foundational systems supporting your physical and emotional health. There Is No Perfect Sleep Schedule One of my favorite parts of this conversation was Jessica's take on the "5 AM club." We see these routines everywhere. Wake up at 5 AM. Work out. Take the cold plunge. Journal. Meditate. Get more done before everyone else wakes up. And while that routine may work beautifully for one person, it doesn't mean it's healthy for everyone. Jessica explains that healthy sleep needs are generally discussed within a range, but the exact amount an individual needs can vary depending on the person, their age, their circumstances, and what is happening in their life. Trying to force yourself into somebody else's sleep schedule can work against what your own body needs. Your goal isn't to become the person who wakes up earliest. Your goal is to find a sleep pattern that actually supports your health. You Can Train Yourself to Sleep Poorly This was such an important distinction. Our bodies know how to sleep. But psychologically, sleep can also become a learned behavior. That means we can unintentionally teach ourselves patterns that make sleeping harder. Think about what happens when you repeatedly lie in bed unable to sleep. You toss. You turn. You start thinking about tomorrow. You worry about how tired you're going to be. You look at the clock. You try harder to fall asleep. And eventually, your brain begins associating your bed with being awake, alert, worried, and frustrated. Instead of your bed becoming a cue for sleep, it becomes a cue for stress. Jessica explains that breaking this association is an important part of addressing insomnia. The goal is to help your brain relearn what your bed is supposed to represent. Sleep. Why Overthinkers Struggle at Night If your brain suddenly decides bedtime is the perfect opportunity to review every problem in your life, you're definitely not alone. During the day, we're distracted. We're working. We're answering messages. We're taking care of our families. We're running businesses. There is always something competing for our attention. Then everything gets quiet. Suddenly, your brain has room to bring up all the things you haven't processed yet. For someone who already tends toward worrying or rumination, bedtime can become the moment when those thoughts get louder. One strategy Jessica recommends is intentionally creating space for those thoughts earlier. Rather than waiting until your head hits the pillow, schedule time after dinner to think through what's worrying you. Write it down. Identify the next step you can take. Give the thought somewhere to go. You're not trying to solve your entire life before bedtime. You're showing your brain that the problem has been acknowledged and there is a plan for dealing with it. What to Do When You Can't Sleep This advice sounds completely backwards at first. If you can't sleep, get out of bed. Jessica explains that staying in bed worrying, stressing, tossing, and turning can reinforce the exact association you're trying to break. You're teaching your brain that bed is where you stay awake and struggle. Instead, get up. Go somewhere else. Do something relatively mindless that you enjoy until you begin feeling sleepy again. Jessica even explains that, in the context of this approach, she would rather someone get out of bed and watch television than stay in bed desperately trying to force sleep while becoming increasingly frustrated. The goal is not to reward yourself for being awake. It's to stop reinforcing the connection between your bed and wakefulness. Could It Be More Than Insomnia? Not every nighttime awakening is caused by insomnia. Jessica also discusses some signs that may warrant talking with a healthcare professional about obstructive sleep apnea. If you're frequently waking during the night and also experiencing symptoms such as loud snoring, gasping for air, morning headaches, or waking with a dry mouth, it may be worth discussing a sleep study with your healthcare provider. This is another reason why getting appropriate support matters. You don't want to spend months trying to "fix" your sleep routine if there is another underlying sleep issue that needs to be evaluated. What Is CBT-I? Jessica specializes in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia, commonly called CBT-I. Rather than relying solely on medication to manage insomnia, CBT-I looks at both the behaviors and thought patterns that may be contributing to sleep difficulties. Jessica describes it as a relatively short-term, structured form of therapy, often completed over approximately six to eight weekly sessions, although treatment needs vary by person. The process can involve changing behaviors around sleep, rebuilding the association between bed and sleeping, addressing worry and rumination, and helping people understand the psychological patterns that may be keeping insomnia going. For someone who feels like they've tried every sleep hygiene tip imaginable without getting lasting results, looking at the behavioral and psychological side of sleep may be the missing piece. Stop Trying to Catch Up on Sleep After a terrible night of sleep, sleeping in feels completely logical. You're exhausted. Your body missed sleep. Why wouldn't you stay in bed longer and catch up? Jessica explains that constantly changing your wake time can disrupt your rhythm and make the next night more difficult. One of the strongest anchors you can give your sleep schedule is consistency in the morning. Rather than obsessing over the exact time you fall asleep, Jessica encourages people to pay attention to when they get up. Set a regular wake time. Get up at approximately the same time each day. And resist constantly shifting your schedule based on how well you slept the night before. One bad night doesn't necessarily need to become several bad nights. Sometimes our attempts to compensate for poor sleep are what keep the pattern going. Give Your Brain Time to Wind Down You cannot expect your brain to go from full-speed work mode to sleep in thirty seconds. If you've been answering emails, working on your business, scrolling on your phone, solving problems, or thinking about tomorrow right up until bedtime, your brain may still be activated when you lie down. Jessica recommends creating at least a short buffer before sleep. Even thirty minutes can give your brain an opportunity to transition. The goal isn't to create an elaborate two-hour nighttime routine filled with ten different wellness practices. It's simply to give yourself a period where you are intentionally disengaging from the activities that keep your brain switched on. Your Sleep Environment Matters, But It Isn't Everything Temperature and light can absolutely support sleep. Jessica recommends keeping your bedroom cool and comfortable, with research often pointing toward temperatures around 67 to 68 degrees Fahrenheit for many sleepers. Darkness can also help. Dimming the lights in the evening gives your body additional environmental cues that nighttime is approaching. But there is an important caveat. You can have the perfect temperature. The perfect blackout curtains. The perfect eye mask. The perfect wind-down routine. And still struggle to sleep if your nervous system is highly activated. If you're lying in bed hypervigilant and on edge, your body's arousal system may be competing with your ability to settle into sleep. Sleep hygiene can support the process. It cannot always solve the underlying problem by itself. Perimenopause, Menopause, and Sleep Jessica's path into sleep psychology actually began through women's health research focused on sleep and the menopausal transition. That made this part of our conversation especially interesting to me. Hormonal changes during perimenopause and menopause can significantly change a woman's experience of sleep. Jessica discusses estrogen's role in sleep and why changes during this stage of life can contribute to sleep disruption. But there can also be a second layer. Once sleep becomes difficult, we naturally start worrying about it. We compensate. We change our routines. We try harder. And some of those psychological and behavioral responses can begin perpetuating the sleep problem even when hormones were part of what triggered it initially. That is why Jessica advocates for a collaborative approach. For some women, that may mean working with a psychologist or sleep specialist alongside a gynecologist, menopause specialist, physician, or other appropriate healthcare practitioner. There isn't always one single solution. You Don't Have to Keep Fighting Your Sleep One of the biggest messages I took from this conversation is that struggling with sleep doesn't mean you simply need more discipline. You don't necessarily need another supplement. You don't necessarily need another complicated nighttime routine. And you definitely don't need to force yourself into somebody else's 5 AM schedule because social media told you that successful people wake up before sunrise. Sometimes the behaviors we use to compensate for poor sleep are actually helping the pattern continue. Understanding those patterns gives you something you can work with. If sleep has become a nightly battle, consider getting support from someone who specializes in sleep rather than continuing to experiment on your own. Your Action Step Pay attention to what happens around your sleep for the next several days. Not just what time you go to bed. Ask yourself: Do I stay in bed worrying when I can't sleep? Do I dramatically change my wake time after a bad night? Am I carrying work and stress directly into bedtime? Am I trying to follow someone else's "perfect" sleep schedule? Do I spend the day worrying about whether I'll sleep tonight? You don't need to change everything at once. Start by noticing the patterns. If those patterns have been going on for a long time or your sleep is significantly affecting your health and daily life, consider speaking with a qualified sleep professional about whether CBT-I or another form of evaluation may be appropriate. Final Thoughts Sleep is foundational. It affects how you think, how you feel, how you show up for your family, and how much energy you have to build the business and life you want. And better sleep isn't necessarily about creating the perfect nighttime routine. Sometimes it starts with understanding what your brain has learned about sleep and changing the behaviors that are keeping you stuck. You can optimize your room. You can buy the eye mask. You can turn down the temperature. But if your nervous system is on high alert and your brain has learned that getting into bed means worrying for three hours, there is another layer that needs attention. That's why I loved this conversation with Jessica. It reminds us to stop chasing perfection and start understanding what our bodies and brains actually need.

Healthcare can't ask communities to trust systems that haven't earned their trust. In this episode, Harold Phillips, the CEO of NMAC (formerly the National Minority AIDS Council), discusses what HIV reveals about stigma, trust, racial justice, and the communities still being left behind by healthcare. Drawing on his lived experience with HIV and decades of public health leadership, Phillips explores why healthcare must treat the whole person rather than simply the diagnosis. He explains how stigma, misinformation, and mistrust can keep people from accessing care even when effective treatments and prevention tools are available. Phillips also examines the difference between outreach and genuine community partnership, emphasizing the importance of listening to communities and using their lived experiences to shape healthcare systems and policy. Tune in to hear Harold Phillips share what healthcare leaders can learn from communities that have historically been left behind, and how those lessons can help build more equitable, trustworthy systems. IHI Spotlight - Sylvia Trent-Adams: This episode's IHI Spotlight features Sylvia Trent-Adams, President and CEO at the Institute of Healthcare Improvement, who talks about the lessons HIV has taught her about dignity, trust, equity, and person-centered care. Drawing on her experience as a nurse caring for soldiers living with or affected by HIV, she emphasizes that treating a diagnosis and truly seeing a person are not the same thing. She also discusses why healthcare organizations must listen to marginalized communities and act on what they hear, making equity an essential part of quality and safety rather than a separate initiative. About Harold Phillips: Harold J. Phillips is a nationally recognized HIV policy leader and public health strategist with over 30 years of experience advancing equity, access, and innovation in the fight against HIV/AIDS. In 2025, he was appointed CEO of NMAC, where he leads eNorts to center racial justice and community leadership in the national response to HIV. Previously, Phillips served as Director of the White House Office of National AIDS Policy (2021–2024), overseeing the implementation of the National HIV/AIDS Strategy and shaping federal policy to accelerate progress toward ending the epidemic. He also held senior roles at the Health Resources and Services Administration's HIV/AIDS Bureau, where he managed key programs including Ryan White, AIDS Education and Training Centers, and PEPFAR-funded initiatives. As a Black gay man living with HIV, Phillips brings lived experience and visionary leadership to his work. His career has been defined by a commitment to uplifting marginalized voices, modernizing HIV policy, and building sustainable systems of care. Things You'll Learn: HIV continues to reveal how stigma, misinformation, and mistrust can create barriers to healthcare access. Treating the whole person requires healthcare systems to address the social and personal circumstances that shape health outcomes. Lived experience should inform healthcare policy, system design, and shared decision-making. Genuine community partnership requires ongoing listening, responsiveness, and action, not one-time outreach or consultation. Healthcare organizations can build trust by listening to communities, adapting their services, and creating systems that center historically marginalized populations.

Most leaders treat fear as the thing blocking them. Amy Elizabeth Fox, CEO of Mobius Executive Leadership and Nicholas Janni, both co-authors of Leading in Chaos, argue the opposite: you block fear, and that blocking is quietly costing you presence, judgment, and your team's best thinking.Along with host Ashish Kothari, you'll discover why emotional intelligence in leadership starts in the body, the practices that ground you when everything is unpredictable, and why the times are urgent enough that we must slow down. For leaders and executives who are done white-knuckling through chaos and ready to lead from somewhere deeper.What You Will Learn:1. Fear isn't the block. You are. "Fear doesn't block me. The problem is I block fear." Let the wave move through you before the hard conversation. What's on the other side is presence, not paralysis.2. Get in your body before you decide. Soften the out-breath. Feel your feet, feel your chair. Thirty seconds changes your brainwave state, and you can do it mid-meeting. You can't steady a room you haven't steadied yourself in.3. Stop performing certainty. The picture is too big for one mind. Sit with your team in "we don't know," listen until other views actually land, and watch the periphery for early signals instead of rushing to fix.4. Slow down because the times are urgent. When you're moving fast in ten directions, you're busy but not effective. Block out time that's unplugged and unscheduled. One well-aimed move beats a dozen rushed ones.5. Don't shrink, don't inflate. Humility isn't making yourself small. It's owning what you're actually good at while letting go of the need to control how things turn out. Try saying: "I don't know, but together we can figure it out."Episode Chapters: 02:58 Healing inherited trauma is part of leadership.07:27 - Sense-making must go beyond intellect.12:19 - Practical ways to become more grounded.18:08 - Opening the heart strengthens teams.21:23 - Emotions are meant to be felt, not suppressed.31:51 - Spaciousness is a leadership discipline.39:01 - Humility means occupying the right space.43:29 - Intuition and “field intelligence” emerge through presence.49:17 - Collective healing needs both justice and inner development.Resources:Connect with the GuestLinkedIn: Amy Elizabeth FoxLinkedIn: Nicholas JanniRecommended Reading: Leading in ChaosConnect with the HostLinkedIn: Ashish KothariWebsite: Happiness SquadBook: Hardwired For HappinessYouTube: Happiness Squad ChannelTEDx: How to make flourishing your competitive edgeIf this conversation sparked something for you, please subscribe and leave a review, it takes 30 seconds and helps more people discover the show.
