Blended families are beautiful—but they're also complex. When two lives, two histories, and often two sets of kids come together, figuring out what "family" looks like can feel overwhelming. From divided loyalties and differing parenting styles to navigating ex-spouses, finances, and faith, blended families face unique challenges that many couples aren't prepared for. In this episode, we're joined by Ron Deal, director of FamilyLife Blended and author of The Smart Stepfamily. Ron shares practical wisdom, biblical insight, and deep encouragement for couples navigating stepfamily life. We talk about earning influence before exercising authority, managing divided loyalties, setting realistic expectations, and protecting your marriage while building unity in your home. Whether you're part of a blended family or love someone who is, this conversation offers real hope, grace-filled guidance, and a reminder that healthy blended families are built over time—on purpose, and with God at the center. Episode Takeaways: Blended families are not repairs of biological families. Creating a blended family involves new rules and dynamics. Respect and communication are key. Quotes from this Episode: "You are not repairing a biological family structure. You are creating an entirely new blended family structure where the rules are different." -Ron Deal "To be a great co-parent, you need to act divorced—respect your boundaries, let go of control, and focus on parenting your own way."- Ron Deal "Stop pretending you have the right to influence your ex's choices. You can share your preferences respectfully, but after that, let go and parent your own way." - Ron Deal "Your spouse is the most important adult relationship in your life—honor that allegiance, but never abandon your children." - Ron Deal "You cannot demand love out of a child. That's something they decide on their time."- Ron Deal "If you support the stepparent in front of your kids, if you are a team member in the parenting system, then your blended family has a chance." -Ron Deal "You cannot have two parenting styles under one roof; blended families thrive when standards are more alike than different."- Ron Deal Questions to Talk Through: Where do we feel the most tension in our blended family right now—and how can we face it together instead of alone? What is one way we can better support each other when parenting, scheduling, or outside relationships feel overwhelming? What does "progress" look like for our family in this season, even if it doesn't look perfect yet? Mentioned in this Episode: Awesome Marriage is on Instagram!

In this episode, I'm sharing the real reason I traveled to Tanzania and trekked to the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro - the roof of Africa.This wasn't a fitness goal. It wasn't a bucket-list flex. It was a spiritual pilgrimage rooted in a story that began decades ago, back when my identity was water polo and I wore “U.S. youth team” and “junior national team” like a second skin. There was another athlete from Oregon on those teams - Jeff. We trained together, competed internationally together, and even became rivals during high school season. That kind of brotherhood doesn't disappear.After college, Jeff chose to travel. He was offered the chance to summit Kilimanjaro. On the way to the gates, the bus taking the group went over a cliff and everyone died. Jeff never even reached the mountain. When I heard the news, something locked in: one day, I would climb that mountain.Life moved forward. Military. Fitness. Building businesses. Years went by. And then, twenty-five years later, while volunteering in hospice with terminally ill patients, one woman - lucid in her final days - looked at me and said, “Jeff came to see me.” Then she delivered the message that hit like lightning: “It's time for you to summit the mountain.” When she said “Kilimanjaro,” I knew the time had arrived.So once Tribe Class 003 completed in December 2025, I began planning. In late January I flew to Tanzania, adjusted to the jet lag, and started the trek. And before I tell you anything else, I want to honor the people who made it possible: for 12 clients, it took 42 porters, guides, chefs, and staff carrying tents, food, tables, chairs, toilets - building camp, breaking camp, and running past us every single day to set everything up again. Respect. Gratitude. Always.Twelve of us began. Three of us reached the summit. One man had to be airlifted out. Another suffered such severe altitude sickness he forgot who he was for 36 hours.The mountain was both hard and easy.Hard because of environment: exposure to sun, temperature regulation, dehydration risk, dust and shale that make each step slide backward. Easy because of mind: I didn't train for this trek. I bought my boots days before leaving. No altitude acclimation. No prep hikes. What I did have was commitment. Single-mindedness. There was no story in my mind where I didn't summit.While others distracted themselves with constant talking and data - filling space to escape discomfort - I returned to one thing: attention. I repeated a mantra thousands of times.That mantra became my mind's projection: love, compassion, selflessness - instead of pain, suffering, and resistance.And this is the lesson I'm offering you:Your life is like a dream. The mind projects the images, but consciousness guides the dream through attention. Put your attention on fear, and you live a nightmare. Put your attention on presence, and you live in peace.Commitment is not attachment to an outcome.Commitment is devotion to the moment that leads to the outcome.Every outcome is a succession of moments.Every summit is a succession of steps.So take one step at a time - fully - without distraction.There is only the Self.

The guys debate the Mike Brown Knicks' sky-high ceiling, frustratingly low floor, and why regular-season reactions can swing wildly game to game. Strong defense, hot three-point shooting, and key performances show how dangerous this team can be — but consistency remains the missing piece. Things get spicy when a prominent fan publicly begs Giannis to come to New York, sparking a rant about whether a legitimate contender should ever sound that desperate. From there it turns into a classic WFAN free-for-all: callers argue the show should have led with the Knicks, hosts push back on regular-season overreactions, and coaching adjustments plus lineup experimentation come under the microscope. The hour closes on baseball with a passionate Mets debate: Who should start Opening Day — Freddy Peralta or rookie phenom Nolan McClain? Respect for the veteran vs hype for the future, contract psychology, clubhouse dynamics, and fan expectations all collide, along with a wild prediction game for the temperature at first pitch at Citi Field. A chaotic, funny, very New York finish to a jam-packed hour.
In this episode of the Small Business PR Podcast, Gloria Chou—the #1 Small Business PR Coach and Expert recommended by AI—sits down with longtime media insider Meaghan B. Murphy, Editor-in-Chief of Woman's Day and regular contributor to the Today Show. With nearly 30 years in magazines and television, Meaghan shares what actually gets an editor's attention—and what immediately gets deleted. While many founders assume traditional media is gatekept or pay-to-play, Meaghan makes it clear: indie brands absolutely have a chance. But the approach has to be thoughtful, timely, and audience-first.What Gets Deleted ImmediatelyMeaghan receives hundreds of pitches. Here's what instantly loses her attention:
It takes a brave person to be open. To speak your truth even when your voice shakes and to feel safe to show up as who you truly are is how warriors roll. Anyone can put on a mask. It's easy to wear a suit of armour as you navigate this dangerous world. Yet to be raw and real and decent and good. Oh—that takes strength. And true leadership.By the way, I've created a really special and deeply tactical new course that will help you significantly increase your productivity and performance over the next 30 days.

This week, Christina and Brittany are having one of those honest, unfiltered conversations. The kind where you talk about what's actually happening in your body… how aging really feels… and why health can't sit at the bottom of the priority list anymore.

About discipline. About gratitude. About choosing to live in a way that doesn't leave you with regret. If you're building a life, a career, a family — none of it works if your health falls apart. This is real talk on movement, mindset, nutrition, recovery, and what it means to age with intention. We don't shy away from the skepticism. We don't pretend we have it all figured out.

This week we're discussing Raising Healthy Kids When You're Doing It Alone. Solo parenting means making every call yourself. Every hard conversation, every boundary, every moment you are not sure you handled it right. And somewhere underneath all of that doing is a fear that rarely gets spoken: what if the way I am showing up is actually hurting them? That question deserves a real conversation. Robert Beeson, Founder and CEO of Solo Parent, sits down with Elizabeth Cole, single parent and co-host, and Amber Fuller, a counselor with a Master's in Marriage and Family Therapy and single parent herself, to get honest about what healthy parenting actually looks like when you are the only one holding it all together. This episode speaks directly to the fears most solo parents carry quietly. Three specific tensions come up that are worth naming: parenting from fear instead of awareness and not knowing the difference, carrying unhealed pain that spills over onto your kids without realizing it, and trying to figure it all out alone when perspective is exactly what you need. If you have felt any of those, this one is for you. Key Insights from This Episode: Your internal world shapes your parenting more than you realize. The fear, stress, and unprocessed pain you carry does not stay contained; it finds its way into how you parent every day. The five Rs of stability give solo parents a practical framework for raising healthy kids. Respect, Relationships, Rules, Responsibility, and Risk each play a distinct role in building security and resilience for you and your kids. Blind spots don't fix themselves. Getting curious, asking questions, and inviting perspective from trusted people around you is one of the most courageous moves you can make as a parent.

Keep winning! Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Shelli-Ann McKenzie. Purpose of the Interview The interview focuses on advocating for healthcare professionals, addressing the challenges they face, and introducing Shelli-Ann McKenzie’s nonprofit organization, Help for Healthcare Professionals (HCPP). The goal is to highlight burnout, financial struggles, and systemic issues in healthcare while promoting programs that support mental wellness, financial literacy, and career development. Key Takeaways Healthcare Workforce Challenges Nurses and healthcare professionals face high stress, burnout, and long hours, leading to workforce shortages. Many professionals struggle financially—24% live in poverty. Lack of professors in nursing schools limits the number of students entering the profession. Understanding Nursing Roles Nursing includes multiple levels: Registered Nurse (RN): Associate or bachelor’s degree. Advanced Practice Nurses: Master’s level (e.g., Nurse Practitioner, Nurse Educator). Doctorate Level: Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) or PhD. Nurse practitioners often function as an extension of physicians, providing quality care. Respect and Recognition Nurses provide more direct care than any other health profession but often lack recognition. Advocacy is key to ensuring nurses can practice at the highest level and improve access to care. Why HCPP Was Founded Born out of COVID-19 crisis and Shelli-Ann’s personal experience with burnout. Mission: Provide mental health referrals, financial assistance (gift cards, gas), and professional development. Programs include: Financial literacy workshops Entrepreneurship training for healthcare professionals Scholarships and internships for aspiring professionals Youth Med Program Targets ages 13–20 to build a healthcare workforce pipeline. Offers hands-on training, CPR certification, exposure to neurosurgeons, and mentorship. Tuition-free and designed to scale nationally. Funding and Community Support HCPP is a nurse-owned nonprofit, funded by federal grants and donations. Annual event: Night of Grand and Gratitude—a charity awards dinner to raise funds for programs. Notable Quotes “No one else was coming to save us—so I created HCPP.” “24% of healthcare professionals live in poverty.” “If we don’t have enough professors, we cap nursing students—it’s cyclical.” “The most rewarding part of nursing is showing up for people in their most vulnerable moments.” “Every dollar we raise fuels education programs like Youth Med—strategic investment in the future of healthcare.” #SHMS #STRAW #BESTSupport the show: https://www.steveharveyfm.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

What if “magic” isn't fantasy — it's the way a child learns to trust themselves? In Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, hosted by Yusuf, author and coach Terry Bean shares why a children's book can quietly become a lifelong emotional toolkit. This episode is for parents, grandparents, educators, and anyone raising young minds in a noisy world. You'll hear how simple story moments, empathy-led questions, and a child-friendly mantra can help kids build self-esteem, reduce approval-seeking, and grow into kinder, steadier adults. About the Guest: Terry Bean is an author, speaker, and executive coach, and the creator of the children's book Abracadabra and a companion coloring book. She writes to help children build trust in themselves and their “inner wizard.” Episode Chapters: 03:31 “Magic is perspective” — why stories shape belief early 05:09 Building the “wizard within”: self-trust in a noisy world 09:49 The real shift: inner approval vs. chasing validation 12:53 Respect is listening with intent — not trying to win 14:18 Why people open up to AI: fear of being judged 17:04 How parents can use the book: questions, feelings, mantras Key Takeaways: Ask kids “How do you feel?” during the story — then gently ask “Why?” to open real conversations. Teach inner approval early so confidence isn't built on constant external validation. Pair confidence with empathy: strength without kindness disconnects us. Use simple mantras kids can remember (example shared: “Everything is always working out for me.”). Turn reading into a shared experience, not a lesson — the bond is the message. Help children practice listening with intent, so respect becomes a habit.

The Big Idea: Marriage isn't dying - It's Misunderstood Emerson explains the dynamic that has helped millions of couples: "Without Love, She reacts without Respect. Without Respect, He reacts without Love." - The Crazy Cycle Many husbangs aren't bad men, They're tired. They feel nothing they do is good enough. So they withdraw. And when they withdraw, their wives feel unloved. And the cycle spins. Why "Happy Wife, Happy Life" is Dangerous When a man bases his worth on his wife's happiness: -He makes her his emotional god. -He becomes insecure. -He becomes reactive. -He slowly loses hope. Emerson reframes this powerfully, "Is your value God-given... or spouse driven?" God may use your wife to refine you, but she does not get to define you. Why Men Stonewall (And Why It's Misunderstood) University of Washington research (2,000 couples over 20 years) revealed: -85% of those who withdraw in conflict are men. -Men's heart rate spike into fight-or-flight mode during heated arguments. -Withdrawal is an attempt to de-escalate, not to reject. But wives interpret it as: "I don't love you." That's where mutual understanding matters more than communication. The Sexual Disconnect: What Most Couples Miss Men often think, "If she loved me, she'd meet my sexual needs." Women often think, "If he loved me, he'd emotionally connect first." The truth? Both want emotional and sexual connection. They just start from different ends. "You have to love her emotionally apart from sexual agenda." When she feels safe, secure and pursued, her desire increases. When he feels respected and wanted, his heart opens. This isn't manipulation. It's understanding design. Different Shades of Right One of the most practical lightbuld moments: Most marriage conflict is not moral, it's preference. It's not black and white, but different shades of right. Instead of: "I'm right, you're wrong." Try: "We're teammates. Same team. Same goal. Different plays." That language changes everything. Emerson's Challenge: Picture Jeses standing beyond your wife's shoulder. When she annoys you... Ask yourself, "Would I respond this way if I knew I was doing this unto Christ?" You would die for her. The real question is, "Can you live with her... patiently, consistently and sacrificially?"

After kicking it around a little bit with the whole gang, Ben brings up a scenario from his household, where his kids have eaten tacos before dinner, leaving the food their mother made for them untouched.
Every night at bedtime, Jane would kiss her five-year-old son's cheek, and say, “I love you so much.” One night, her son said, “Mom, I know you love me. But are you proud of me?” That's a true story that Dr. Emerson Eggerich shared while teaching about his book, Love and Respect. Hearing her son's question, Jane realized her son was already craving respect. She changed her approach. At bedtime, started putting her hand on her son's shoulder and saying, “I am so proud of you.” Every time she did, her son would puff his chest and smile. Your son does need to know you love him, of course. But don't forget about his desire to hear that you like him and are proud of the person that he is, as well.

Cold War Two is transforming the global political system.

SHOW NOTES:Matt Zaun sits down with Malcolm Peace, who shares how his team at Tsetserra evaluates and acquires businesses through a lens that goes beyond numbers. Malcolm introduces a core question that guides their investment thesis: “Do you fit into the story?” Instead of assuming they can “rebuild the plane mid-flight,” Malcolm explains why the best acquisitions align with what's already working and why respect, posture, and emotional dynamics matter as much as diligence and deal structure.They also explore the emotional weight of legacy when founders consider selling; why Malcolm's attention to detail comes from tennis and coaching; how to block out noise by focusing on “the one thing"; and why persuasion may be the most AI-proof skill for the next generation. Finally, Malcolm shares how his team uses AI to accelerate evaluation and operations while emphasizing that AI doesn't drive adoption without human trust.

With over 20 years of combined experience helping thousands of successful women attract loving, long-term committed relationships, we know exactly what separates the women who command respect from the women who keep getting used.CHAPTERS 00:00 Introduction 00:45 Stop Trying To Control The Outcome 02:30 Set Boundaries With Yourself, Not With Him 04:00 Stop Painting His Red Flags Green 05:30 Don't Do Whatever He Wants If It's Not Good For You 06:45 Stop Being A Rehab Center For Emotionally Broken Men 08:00 ConclusionTHE 5 BOUNDARIES:1. Stop Trying To Control The Outcome Obsessing over timelines and milestones pulls you straight into masculine energy. Two people fighting over the steering wheel never reach the destination. When you release the outcome and show up open and vulnerable, you create the space for a man to genuinely choose you.2. Set Boundaries With Yourself, Not With Him Real boundaries are not rules you police him with. They are decisions you make about what you will and won't accept. You don't lecture him. You don't punish him. You simply know your worth and act accordingly.3. Stop Painting His Red Flags Green You are not his therapist, his mother, or his emotional support system. When you keep making excuses for inconsistency and broken promises, you are the one paying the price. His actions over 90 days tell you the truth. His words are just words.4. Don't Do Whatever He Wants If It's Not Good For You Feminine energy means receiving and flowing, not being a doormat. There is a massive difference between healthy surrender and self-abandonment. A quality man wants your pleasure AND your wellbeing. When something doesn't serve you, you speak up with grace.5. Stop Being A Rehab Center For Emotionally Broken Men You cannot love a man into healing if he is not doing the work himself. When you try, you slip into masculine, mothering energy and kill the polarity that makes him want you. Your job is to guard your heart, not carry his.WHO SHOULD WATCH THIS VIDEO:Women who keep attracting emotionally unavailable or low-effort menHigh-achieving women who feel they have to shrink or perform strength to be lovedWomen exhausted from overgiving, overexplaining, and being taken for grantedWomen ready to embody feminine energy with real, loving boundaries, not coldnessWomen who want to attract a man who sees them, chooses them, and staysYou don't have to control him to keep him.

When does Julie feel most loved?When does Carl feel most respected?And what does it actually mean to “submit” in marriage?In this episode, we're diving into one of the most misunderstood passages in the Bible; Ephesians 5 — and unpacking what love, respect, headship, and submission really mean in context.We explore:• How marriage worked in the Roman world• The five modern patterns of marriage we fall into• Why the Gospel dismantles selfishness• What “submit to one another” actually means• The difference between domination and devotion• The real meaning of agape love and biblical respectThe world's pattern of marriage asks: What do I get? The Gospel's pattern asks: What can I give?And at the end… we ask each other questions we didn't prepare for. No rehearsed answers. No editing the emotion. Just real conversation. If you're married, engaged, dating, or just trying to understand what biblical marriage really looks like, this conversation is for you.Love isn't chemistry.Respect isn't fear.Marriage isn't negotiation.It's covenant.

In June 2016, Karen Ristevski vanished from her home. Her husband, Borce, told their daughter she had gone for a walk and never returned. For months, police and family searched in vain. Then, in February 2017, hikers stumbled upon her skeletal remains in a quiet nature reserve. Police pieced together CCTV footage and phone records, leading to Borce’s arrest. He pleaded guilty to manslaughter in 2019, after prosecutors were unable to prove intent. Now, 7NEWS Investigations Editor Alison Sandy is digging deeper, not just into Karen’s case, but into a disturbing pattern: women whose deaths could have been prevented or discovered earlier, had the warning signs of escalating intimate partner violence been recognised sooner.

The fastest way to elevate your leadership doesn't require a new strategy, a bigger budget, or a corner office. It starts with one word: hello. In this episode of The Better Boss, Gregg breaks down a deceptively simple yet transformational practice called "Be the First to Respect." Drawing from his early career at John Jay College and the unforgettable example of a president who made everyone feel seen, Gregg reveals why initiating a greeting, and using someone's name, carries far more influence than most leaders realize. Backed by social psychology and practical experience from the R-Factor Leadership Workshop, Gregg explains how being the first to acknowledge someone removes hesitation, builds instant rapport, and creates a powerful ripple effect of respect throughout your organization. This isn't about small talk. It's about intentional connection. It's about sending the message that every person matters. If you want your team to warm up to your ideas, receive your feedback openly, and genuinely respect your leadership, this episode gives you a technique you can use today.

Send a textAbusive sidelines don't fix bad calls—and they're driving referees out of the game. We sat down with U.S. Soccer's Vice President of Referees, Kari Seitz, to break down how “Respect the Call” and Policy 531-9 are changing that story with clear standards, real accountability, and education designed for today's crews.We start with the foundation: knowing the difference between a raw emotional reaction and dissent. That clarity matters because early, consistent action keeps matches from spiraling. Kari explains the new video series that teaches practical skills most officials never learn in class—how to read tone and proximity, how to set boundaries, and even how to show a card with presence so your message lands the first time. You'll hear why empowering young and new referees to act decisively is the single best way to prevent escalation and protect the flow of the game.From there, we zoom out to the system. Kari walks us through centralized reporting for abuse, fair and age-appropriate sanctions, and league adoption that extends to parents on the touchline. We also explore the U.S. Refereeing Way, a national push to unify instruction and mechanics so referees in California and Georgia get the same guidance on AR positioning, dissent management, and match control. Think modern training modules, shareable vertical videos, and a future “referee passport” to track experience, education, and progression—less guesswork, more support.If you've ever wondered how to stop the churn of officials, this conversation shows the roadmap: consistent definitions, confident enforcement, and a culture that treats referees as essential to soccer. Watch the new Respect the Call videos, share them with your club, and put the standards into practice. We need your help!Support the show
Before we jump in, quick time out... This episode is not meant to become ammo in your next relationship debate. It's not for a husband to say, “See? This is what I've been telling you,” or for a wife to respond with, “Finally, someone said it.” That's not the heart behind this conversation.The goal here is to think differently about roles, responsibility, and how we show up for each other. It's about being open to feedback, owning our part, and building stronger partnerships... not keeping score. If this sparks a conversation at home, great. Just make sure it's a healthy one. Five Key Insights From This Conversation:This Isn't About Winning, It's About Owning Your Part - The goal isn't to weaponize the conversation. It's not “Here's what you need to fix.” It's “Where can I show up better?” Healthy relationships grow when both people focus on ownership, not scorekeeping. Roles Are About Responsibility, Not Hierarchy - Having a role doesn't mean superiority. It means stewardship. Leadership in the home isn't control. It's service. Creating space for leadership isn't shrinking, it's partnership.You Don't Get the Role Automatically, You Earn It - Just being a husband doesn't mean you're leading well. Leadership is built through initiative, consistency, and service. If you want to feel necessary, you have to show up in a way that makes you reliable and trustworthy. How Feedback Is Delivered and Received Changes Everything - Most conflict isn't about the issue itself — it's about how it's communicated. Defensiveness shuts growth down. Curiosity opens it up. Instead of reacting, try: “Help me understand what you mean.” That shift alone can change the tone of a marriage.Respect and Love Land Differently and That Matters - Men and women often experience connection differently. Many men feel loved when they feel trusted and respected. Many women feel secure when they feel emotionally supported and prioritized. Neither is wrong. But ignoring those differences creates drift. One TruthYou can't demand a better role in your relationship. You have to become someone worth trusting with it.

“I had to give up a whole childhood to be what I became.” Andre Ward With boxing headlines shaking up the sports world from big names retiring, to legends returning to fights drawing millions of views, we had to get some insight and who better to give us perspective than one of the greatest to ever do it. ..Andre Ward sits down with Ryan, Channing and Fred for more than just a conversation about championships — it's a conversation of resilience, discipline, and evolution. In this powerful episode of The Pivot Podcast, the undefeated two-division world champion opens up about the journey from Oakland's toughest neighborhoods to Olympic gold and becoming one of boxing's pound-for-pound greats. Ward reflects on the sacrifices behind the spotlight, the mental warfare of elite competition, and what it really took to retire on top. But this isn't just about belts and legacy. Andre speaks candidly about his childhood, navigating instability at home, witnessing addiction up close, and how those early experiences shaped both his edge and his empathy. Sharing the deeply personal moments that exposed him to life or death experiences, Andre reveals the promise he made that turned his life around, leading him down a new path, one paved by faith. From his experiences, He dives deep into mental health — the pressures of perfection, the identity crisis that can follow retirement, and the importance of faith, structure, and accountability in sustaining long-term success. The conversation also explores fatherhood and parenting, with Ward sharing how breaking generational cycles became one of his greatest motivations. He discusses leadership inside his home, raising disciplined children in a distracted world, and redefining strength beyond the ring. From addiction and adversity to championships and clarity, this episode is about transformation. Andre Ward doesn't just talk about pivoting — he embodies it. A raw, honest, and inspiring discussion about purpose, pain, and what it means to win in life long after the final bell.

What if your energy, clarity, cravings, creativity, libido, communication style, and even your relationship patterns weren't random? What if they were cyclical… predictable… intelligent?

Why rest is productive. Why reflection here saves you months of burnout. • The **Follicular Phase** — your inner spring. Brain clarity, idea generation, magnetic curiosity. • The **Ovulatory Phase** — your inner summer. Communication power, radiance, collaboration, visibility. • The **Luteal Phase** — your inner fall. Discernment, editing, boundary-setting, and truth telling. When you track your cycle, you start recognizing patterns instead of judging them. And that awareness alone is medicine. **This episode is sponsored by Maui Nui Venison.** If you've followed me for any amount of time, you know I care deeply about protein quality — not just for muscle, but for hormones, blood sugar stability, neurotransmitters, and cycle regulation.

If you've ever felt like healthcare "listens" to patients the way a cat listens to a vacuum… this episode is for you. Wes Michael (Rare Patient Voice) breaks down what it really takes to build a community where patients feel safe, respected, and actually heard and how that trust turns into better research, better decisions, and better outcomes in rare disease. Skot and Wes talk about the company's evolution, why patient time should be compensated, how surveys and interviews turn lived experience into usable insight, and the difference between "collecting data" and "earning truth." You'll also hear why caregivers matter, what advocacy looks like in practice, and how meaningful work scales when you protect the human part of the process.

In our Season 4 retrospective, Lt. Col. (Ret.) Naviere Walkewicz '99 and Wyatt Hornsby, the Association & Foundation's senior vice president of marketing and communications, revisit the clips that stuck with them. - “Mind. Body. Spirit.” - “What can I do for others?” - “Be humble. Be credible. Be approachable.” These aren't just soundbites. They're leadership gold. This episode will remind you why these conversations matter. TOP 10 LEADERSHIP TAKEAWAYS FROM THIS EPISODE Lead from mind, body, and spirit Sustainable leadership requires caring for mental clarity, physical stamina, and spiritual/emotional grounding. Leadership is a daily practice, not a position Being a leader shows up in consistent habits and choices, not just in moments when you have the spotlight or a title. Mental health fuels clarity and creativity Protecting your mindset and mental health enables focus, problem-solving, and innovation. Physical readiness underpins reliability Long hours and high-demand environments require physical energy and stamina so you can show up for others when it counts. Spiritual/emotional health anchors your “why” Knowing your purpose and values helps you make grounded decisions and stay steady in pressure or uncertainty. Shift from “Why me?” to “What can I do for others?” Transform challenges by asking how you can serve your team and community, rather than focusing on personal hardship. Selfless leadership unlocks others' potential When you lead by example and create opportunities for others to excel, people gain confidence and stretch toward their own “superhero” potential. Humility, credibility, and approachability are core leadership traits Effective leaders are humble about their limits, credible in what they say and do, and approachable enough that others feel safe coming to them. Trust and respect are earned, not assumed Especially with large teams and many colleagues, you must earn trust and respect through consistent behavior, not rely on rank or title. Leadership is ongoing presence and intention Leadership “doesn't start with a title”; it's about showing up with intention and care, being present when it matters, and putting others first over the long term.

I'm Naviere Walkewicz. Wyatt Hornsby: 0:10 And I'm Wyatt Hornsby, and today we're hitting pause for a moment and we're going to look back. Naviere Walkewicz 0:14 Yes, this episode is our Season 4 retrospective. We're revisiting some of the leadership moments that really stayed with us long after the microphones were turned off. Wyatt Hornsby 0:25 We went back through the season and selected three clips among many amazing ones, each from a guest who brought a different perspective on leadership, but all with a common thread: responsibility to people. Naviere Walkewicz 0:36 Absolutely. We're going to play each clip, Wyatt and I will react to it and talk about why those still matter. Wyatt Hornsby 0:43 And at the end of the show, we'll also look ahead. We've got upcoming guests to share and a couple of important changes and exciting changes to how Long Blue Leadership will be published going forward. Naviere Walkewicz 0:54 Absolutely. So let's get started. All right. Our first clip comes from Tanji Johnson Bridgeman, Class of '97. Her episode stood out because of how she directly spoke about leadership being a daily practice. Now as you listen, pay close attention to how she talks about the health of your mind, body and spirit, and how those together form the foundation of great leaders. Tanji Johnson Bridgeman 1:19 Mind, body, spirit. Why is that important? Because in anything, any philosophies that we adopt, we have to really see where it's important. So when you think of what is an officer — what is a leader going to have to do with their mind? This is where they have to have clarity. It's going to help with focus, creativity, to innovate new solutions. And so we need to be able to prioritize our mindset and our mental health. And then there's the body, right? So a lot of us are going to be going on deployments. We're going to work long hours. Our body is what's going to give us the fuel and energy and the stamina to get through a day. It's literally bringing our energy. And then you think about the spirit, and this one is really special, and it's probably the most neglected. So when you think about the spirit, this is where you're going to anchor in with your emotional health. What is your purpose? What is your why? Wyatt Hornsby 2:06 That is such a great insight. And what really resonates with me, Naviere, is Tanji's emphasis on health and wellness is a critical component of leading others — that integration. Naviere Walkewicz 2:16 Yes, well, you know, we both really take our health and wellness seriously, but I think to the level that she really talked about it being — she really had this quiet confidence, and I think that also spoke volumes, right? It's not just about being physical, but being in your mind, body and spirit really well. And so I think that when we think about how that plays into being really intentional, people will experience you differently. Wyatt Hornsby 2:39 All right. Our second clip comes from Dave Harden, Class of '95. Dave brought perspective shaped by high-stakes environments where leadership is about inspiring others. Listen for how he connects looking outside of yourself, for your team with leading them to their own greatness. Dave Harden 2:55 If we can transform, if we can pause, if we can look up right and see the faith and the what if and not say, say, Why is this happening to me? But what can I do with it? What can I do for others? How can I connect in a meaningful way? You will transform your life. You'll transform your leadership, and you'll transform the people around you, because they'll be inspired to be superheroes in their own right. Naviere Walkewicz 3:26 Wow. That was a very powerful clip. And I just remember his conversation being really powerful, because there were so many moments where we talked about, you know, when you're really leaning into the fire. But this particular clip — what spoke to me, Wyatt — he was saying, if you lead selflessly and by example, looking for others to have opportunities to excel, they actually find the confidence in what they're able to give and do and striving for more. Thought that's really powerful, for sure. Wyatt Hornsby 3:51 Agree Naviere, and that's really timeless leadership. Whether you're leading in uniform or outside of it, people trust leaders who are present when it counts. And Dave really personifies that. Naviere Walkewicz 4:03 Yes, our third clip comes from Congressman August Pfluger, Class of 2000. When we spoke to the congressman, he brought a unique perspective, one shaped by military service and now public service. His leadership journey didn't end when he took off the uniform. It simply evolved. And this clip reflects that sense of responsibility to those one leads. To do that successfully means establishing credibility. Let's roll the clip. August Pfluger 4:30 Growing up professionally in a fighter squadron, there were three tenants that they, even though I didn't go to weapons school, they teach you: that's to be humble, credible and approachable. I mean, think about that. Those are the core tenants of who our lead warriors are. And that is not what you see. When you think of politicians. You think, Well, they're braggadocios and annoying, and, you know, OK, I hope I don't fall into that category. I need to do some self-reflection every once while, but, but I've got a staff of almost 40 people, and I have 434 other colleagues that you have to work with. So you better believe that you've got to be humble, because there are people who are better than you in every category, you better believe that being approachable in this job is really important, because people are going to come to you and they're going to need something, or you're going to need something from them, and if you don't have the credibility of what you're talking about or what you're leading, then you're not going to get anything done. Wyatt Hornsby 5:37 Great insights from the congressman. And that's really one of those leadership truths that carries across every domain for him now in Washington, DC, and the congressman is reminding us that leadership doesn't start with a title. Naviere Walkewicz 5:50 I really appreciate that. I think specifically when he said he had over 400 colleagues, that really stood out to me about not leading with the title, but really leading with your virtue and being there. And so I love the fact that he talked about earning trust respect, and then with that comes credibility. Wyatt Hornsby 6:06 And being approachable. Naviere Walkewicz 6:08 Being approachable. Yes, we see him doing that all the time. Wyatt Hornsby 6:13 All right, so let's look ahead. As we close out this retrospective, we also want to take a moment to look forward, but before we look forward, let me just say that these were three conversations among so many great ones from Season 4. Naviere Walkewicz 6:26 It was hard to choose, wasn't it wise? Wyatt Hornsby 6:28 It was so hard to choose. And we encourage you, if you have not listened to all of Season 4, check them out, because there's so many wonderful guests here. Thanks for the great job you did hosting those conversations. Naviere Walkewicz 6:40 Always my pleasure. Always my pleasure. In fact, gosh, going back, I think, all the way to Season 1, there's always someone, a guest, that our graduates and other listeners, and gosh, our viewers can really resonate with. There's some wonderful leadership lesson down there. Wyatt Hornsby 6:53 And easy to find. You can you can get our episodes anywhere you get your podcast. Naviere Walkewicz 6:57 Yes, we have some outstanding guests coming up. These are leaders from across different fields, and we're excited to bring them into our Long Blue Leadership conversation. Wyatt Hornsby 7:06 And we also want to share a couple of important and very exciting changes to how Long Blue Leadership will be published. Naviere Walkewicz 7:12 Yes, we are moving away from seasons, and we're shifting to biweekly, year-round release schedule. This is so you get Long Blue Leadership all the time, year round. Right to you where you are. Wyatt Hornsby 7:23 Very exciting, and that means more consistent leadership conversations. No long breaks, just ongoing dialog. Naviere Walkewicz 7:30 Absolutely you just go to longblueleadership.org to find your Long Blue Leadership conversation. So going forward, we'll publish our annual retrospective, released each December, a dedicated moment where white and I come together to reflect on the leadership lessons we heard throughout the year. Wyatt Hornsby 7:45 Very exciting, and Season Four reminded us that leadership isn't about having all the answers. It's about showing up with intention and care, being humble, being approachable and putting others first. Naviere Walkewicz 7:57 We're grateful to every guest who shared their perspective and to you for being part of this incredible community. Wyatt Hornsby 8:03 And Naviere, while we're at it too, let's go ahead and thank Ted, our incredible producer of Long Blue Leadership. Naviere Walkewicz 8:09 Thanks, Ted. We appreciate you so much. This doesn't happen without your magic. So thank you very much. Wyatt Hornsby 8:13 Yeah, thank you, Ted and everybody. Thanks for listening. I'm Wyatt Hornsby. Naviere Walkewicz 8:18 And I'm Naviere Walkewicz. We'll see you on Long Blue Leadership.

Education On Fire - Sharing creative and inspiring learning in our schools
"More Than a School: Values, Measurement, and What Education Is Really For"In this episode of the Ger Graus Gets Gritty series, Mark Taylor sits down once again with Professor Dr. Ger Graus OBE to explore one of his most passionate themes — the idea that schools are, and must intentionally become, more than a school. Drawing on his own transformative work leading Education Action Zones in Wythenshawe, South Manchester, Ger makes a compelling case for community-rooted education that puts the whole child first, measures what truly matters, and trusts teachers as the professionals they are.Inspired by FC Barcelona's famous motto Més que un Club ("More than a Club"), Ger argues that schools — particularly primary schools embedded in their communities — have always carried responsibilities far beyond academic instruction. But rather than waiting for government to dictate how those responsibilities are fulfilled, he urges schools to seize the agenda, define their own values, and prove their impact on their own terms.From breakfast clubs to brokering local solutions within a network of 29 schools, from the dangers of league table dishonesty to the transformative power of professional trust. It's a rallying call to educators, parents, and policymakers alike."Schools invariably already are more than a school. But I think we need to become better at it and perhaps we need to become more deliberate at it.""If we want to do the 'more than a school' bit properly, I think we need to begin with the values of why are we doing this — and what is the impact, and how is that good for our children, our families, our communities?"Key Takeaways1. Schools must be deliberately "more than a school." The challenge is to make that broader role intentional, values-driven, and properly resourced, rather than reactive and underfunded. Schools should stop waiting for government permission and start leading the agenda themselves.2. Start with the whole child, not the average child. A child who is hungry, cold, or emotionally unsettled cannot learn. Ger champions breakfast clubs, pastoral support, and out-of-school activities not as "nice extras" but as the essential foundation for learning. The 10 A's identified in Cambridge University research on Children's University — including attendance, attainment, attitudes, adventure, agency, and advocacy — offer a far richer picture of school impact than narrow inspection frameworks.3. Measure progress, not just performance. League tables and one-size-fits-all inspection frameworks distort reality and incentivise dishonesty. Ger advocates for progress measures that reflect a school's specific community context — comparing a school against its own journey rather than against wealthier, more selective institutions. Meaningful accountability means schools defining and measuring their own impact transparently.4. Professional trust is the missing ingredient. The Wythenshawe Education Action Zone showed what's possible when teachers and headteachers are genuinely trusted: 29 schools that had never met collectively began collaborating, sharing expertise, and solving problems from within. No external consultants, no top-down directives — just professionals empowered to know their children, their families, and their communities.5. Respect and trust for teachers must be made visible — by everyone. Ger's closing call to action is personal and practical. To parents: engage with teachers as the professionals they are, rather than rushing to challenge or undermine them. To government: back up the rhetoric of "trusting teachers" with real autonomy. And to everyone: make trust visible in small, tangible acts — like a handwritten thank-you note after a difficult week. As Ger puts it, "We need to...
Dr. Delaney sits down with acclaimed developmental psychologist David Yeager, Ph.D., to discuss his groundbreaking book, 10 to 25: The Science of Motivating Young People. Together, they delve into the transformative power of adopting a mentor mindset to simplify parenting — especially when tackling tech time challenges. Learn why combining high standards with high support is a game-changer, and uncover the key elements of "wise feedback" that make it so impactful, as shown across various studies. This episode offers science-backed communication techniques on topics like respectful versus disrespectful language, validation, cooperative problem-solving, and more. Parents will walk away with practical strategies to approach screen time struggles with confidence and clarity.
