What if the biggest challenge with AI isn't the technology, but what it's revealing about us? Jeff Burningham has built companies, invested in hundreds of startups, and even run for governor — but his most urgent message comes in his new book The Last Book Written by a Human: Becoming Wise in the Age of AI. He believes AI is a mirror, reflecting our values, flaws, and potential, and the real question is whether we'll grow wise enough to handle it. In this conversation, Jeff draws on his experiences in business, politics, and personal transformation to explore the choice between the “old game” of power and greed and the “new game” of connection and compassion — and why the next decade could determine our future. Jeff's book, The Last Book Written by a Human: Becoming Wise in the Age of AI, is available now wherever books are sold! Learn more about Jeff Burningham at jeffburningham.com.

Most people think healthcare is about getting well. But step inside the system and you discover that it's built to keep you alive, not to make you healthy. Dr. Darshan Shah learned that the hard way. For 25 years, he was the picture of medical success — a high-earning surgeon, respected by his peers.  Yet behind the operating room doors, he was battling burnout, autoimmune disease, and metabolic dysfunction. The same system he had dedicated his life to wasn't built to help him heal either. In this episode of Medical Disruptors, we talk about what happens when a physician refuses to follow the script — the same script that tells patients “your labs are fine” while their symptoms get worse.  Dr. Shah walked away from the traditional model, traded scalpels for data, and built a system designed to optimize health before disease takes over. He explains how the right biomarkers can reveal illness years before symptoms appear, why pharma is pushing back against powerful tools like peptides, and how plasma exchange is emerging as a breakthrough for prevention and longevity. We also explore the Alzheimer's blood test that could change the future of brain health. This is about dismantling the systems that profit from disease and proving what is possible when medicine stops chasing symptoms and starts creating health. If you've ever felt like you “must be imagining it,” this conversation proves you weren't — and shows you how to use the skills you already rely on everywhere else. Learn more about your ad choices.

Jennings is joined by Joey Muré, co-founder of Wealth Without Wall Street, an online community aimed at reeducating business owners and families about how money works and teaching people to build passive income and increase cash flow. Several years back, Joey found himself making good money but generally frustrated with being a slave to the coporate grind. He was working for his money but his money wasn't working for him. On top of that, he was seriously second guessing the typical retirement model of pouring your cash into an inaccessible account with no guarantee of the taxable conditions when it came time to cash-out.  Rethink retirement and deferred compensation, grow your wealth, and put your money to work.  Joey's team has built a site exclusively for our listeners at wealthwithoutwallstreet.com/unlockyourlife.

New guidance from Attorney General Bondi urges federal funding recipients to reassess DEI programs to ensure compliance with anti-discrimination laws. This memo highlights actions deemed “unlawful DEI,” including race-based scholarships, preferential hiring, and misapplied “neutral” criteria. What This Means for Employers: Federal consequences: Noncompliance risks include funding revocation or False Claims Act liability. Beyond federal funding: Private employers should also review DEI policies for legal risks. Focused best practices: Ensure inclusive environments, prioritize skills and qualifications, and eliminate demographic-driven criteria.

Are the words you're speaking building connection or creating distance with your teen?Could everyday phrases be unintentionally fueling your child's anxiety or shame? In this heartwarming and eye-opening episode, Colleen O'Grady talks with Amy Hughes—mother of nine, writer, parenting coach, and author of the upcoming book Words Like Honey. Together, they explore the profound impact of the words we speak to our children, especially during the teen and young adult years. Amy shares how common phrases like “hurry up” or “don't be sad” can trigger stress responses in kids and how language rooted in fear or control can erode connection. Drawing from her own imperfect journey and deep experience as a mother, Amy introduces the “4 Rs” framework—Rethink, Replace, Reframe, and Repair—offering parents a path to more intentional and healing communication. The episode is a compassionate reminder that it's never too late to choose grace-filled words that build trust and nurture faith. Amy Hughes is a writer, speaker, and parenting coach based on California's Central Coast. A mother of nine children ranging from toddler to 30 years old, Amy's warmth, humor, and real-life parenting wisdom have made her a sought-after conference speaker. She's a featured contributor to Wild + Free and has been published in Scary Mommy, Encourage, Christian Unschooling, and more. Her upcoming book, Words Like Honey: How to Avoid Unintentional Harm, Model Kindness, and Nurture Your Child's Faith Through What You Say, is available wherever books are sold. Find her at simplelittleamy.com or on Instagram @simplelittleamy. Three Key Takeaways: Our words shape our children's inner world. Phrases we say often—like “be careful” or “what's wrong with you?”—can unintentionally trigger anxiety, shame, or self-doubt. Awareness is the first step to change. Repair is always possible. Even if we've said the wrong thing in the past, taking ownership and apologizing can restore connection and model humility and growth. Life-giving language builds trust. Instead of threats, comparisons, or venting, Amy encourages us to use specific encouragement, curiosity, and kindness to create lasting bonds with our teens and young adults.

Key Takeaways: Anchor money to something solid: It's important to base our money system on something lasting, like gold or Bitcoin, instead of man-made systems that can be unstable. Measure value in gold, not dollars: When you measure the value of things in gold instead of dollars, it gives a clearer picture and helps you avoid being misled by government money policies. Rethink traditional investments: Traditional investments like real estate might not do as well when you compare them to gold. That's why it may be smart to include digital money like Bitcoin in your plan. Adjust financial strategies over time: You should think about adjusting your financial strategies—like refinancing—by looking at how power and money have shifted around the world over time. Use long-term thinking in life: Try using “time anchoring,” or thinking long-term, not just with money but in all areas of life. It helps you make better choices with more confidence.

Have you ever found yourself stuck in the cycle of trying to be the “perfect” leader (always switched on, always in control) only to end up burned out and disconnected? In this solo episode of Legendary Leaders, Cathleen O'Sullivan shares what happened when she finally let go of performing leadership and started showing up as herself.   From moments of self-doubt to the awkward reality of what she calls being a “cow at work,” Cathleen opens up about the pressures we put on ourselves to look like we've got it all together. She talks honestly about the impact it had on her well-being, her team, and her work and what changed when she chose presence over perfection. If you're feeling the weight of doing it all, or just wondering if there's a more human way to lead, this episode is for you. Episode Timeline: 00:00 Introduction 04:59 Leadership thrives in authenticity; burnout taught me to lead from presence, not performance. 09:15 I wanted to lead as me with flaws, feelings, tired days and all.  13:06 You can't lead well in survival mode 14:45 The power of saying “I'm not quite on today” 16:55 Rethink feedback and self-leadership Key Takeaways: Authenticity over perfection: Cathleen talks honestly about moving from trying to lead perfectly to simply showing up as herself. Letting go of the pressure to always have it together helped her build real trust with others even on the messy days Burnout changed everything: Working non-stop to meet impossible standards left Cathleen burnt out and disconnected. That low point pushed her to slow down, get honest with herself, and start leading with more care and clarity The SPACE method makes it practical: Cathleen shares a simple five-part tool to lead with more presence, not performance.

From political comedy to economic commentary, Damian shares how he reinvented himself—and why the ag industry must do the same. Together, they tackle the myths of "feeding the world," challenge commodity mindsets, and explore what it means to lead from a place of health, clarity, and discipline.Key Takeaways:Intentional Reinvention Requires CourageDamian shares how he intentionally shifted from political comedy to agricultural commentary, despite the comfort and success of his past career. Reinvention means letting go of what once worked to make room for what's next.Ag's Identity Crisis Needs a New North StarThe old narrative of "feeding the world" no longer resonates. Today's agricultural leaders must rethink their purpose—focusing on sustainability, nutrient density, and stewardship, rather than just production volume.Policy, Incentives & Entrenchment Are Holding Us BackGovernment subsidies, university research incentives, and industry entrenchment keep ag locked into outdated systems. Progress requires bold leadership and a willingness to challenge the status quo.Consumer Behavior Is Changing—Ag Must Catch UpConsumers are already proving they'll pay more for quality, flavor, and health. Ag must prioritize differentiation and embrace emerging trends like regenerative ag, flavor-focused products, and transparency in sourcing.Leadership Transformation Begins with Personal HealthMark shares how Thriving Leader participants undergo physical and personal transformation—often losing weight, getting healthier, and showing up as better leaders—by simply being placed in a high-performance environment.Notable Quotes:“Being funny is like being tall. You either are or you aren't.” – Damian Mason“It takes tremendous intention to say: this thing that made me millions of dollars is now just a story.” – Damian Mason“We're stuck on slogans from 30 years ago. Feeding the world isn't the point anymore.” – Damian Mason“Intention and discipline walk down the same aisle. One without the other gets you nowhere.” – Mark Jewell“You want to lead transformation? Start by getting people off soda and into a 6am kickboxing workout.” – Mark JewellAction Steps:Reflect on whether your current business model or leadership approach needs an intentional evolution.Challenge outdated industry narratives and begin forming your own North Star for impact.Rethink the role of policy and incentives in your work—are they helping or hindering progress?Consider your own health and habits: what shifts would make you a stronger, more grounded leader?Listen If You Are:A leader in agribusiness looking to stay relevant and forward-focusedTired of outdated industry slogans and ready to create real impactCurious about the intersection of policy, performance, and purpose in agA lifelong learner interested in personal and industry transformationSomeone ready to challenge the status quo and evolve intentionally

On this episode of On the Brink with Andi Simon, I had the immense pleasure of speaking with Jessica Fairchild—an extraordinary lawyer, entrepreneur, and advocate for a new kind of workplace culture. Jessica's story is one of continual reinvention, courageous pivots, and an unwavering commitment to values-driven leadership. Jessica is the co-founder and partner at Fairchild and Bair, a Chicago-based law firm built on flexibility, trust, and purpose. As you'll hear in our conversation, her 25-year legal career has not followed a traditional path. And that's exactly what makes her story so compelling. From Accounting Major to M&A Trailblazer Jessica didn't grow up dreaming of being a lawyer. In fact, she studied accounting in college and only considered law school after enjoying a business law class. With no attorneys in her immediate family, this leap was both unexpected and bold. But as she puts it, “I followed my gut.” After cutting her teeth in a large Chicago law firm, she took a big risk—leaving to become general counsel for Chicago's Olympic bid. That three-year detour turned out to be a pivotal moment in her journey. The experience showed her how law could intersect with leadership, creativity, and impact. It also sparked her entrepreneurial spirit. Building a Firm with Flexibility at Its Core Jessica founded her own firm in 2010, without a business plan but with a clear sense of purpose: to build a law practice where she—and others—could bring their authentic selves to work. In 2019, that mission expanded with the merger that formed Fairchild and Bair, alongside like-minded partners. Today, the firm boasts nearly 100 lawyers and a business model that reflects the realities and values of a new generation. What sets Jessica's approach apart? It's the deliberate culture of flexibility and inclusion. Whether accommodating a lawyer working remotely from Madrid or welcoming professionals who've stepped away from the workforce, the firm embraces nonlinear career paths. “We meet people where they are,” Jessica explains. That philosophy has helped them attract top talent from firms where rigid structures no longer fit. If you would like to watch our interview, it is on YouTube: Law as Business, Practice, and Purpose Jessica is as much a business leader as she is a legal expert. She emphasizes that today's law firms must be more than traditional billable-hour machines. They must be responsive to change, open to new technologies (including AI), and built around human-centered leadership. Her firm is exploring how AI can make legal work more efficient—not to replace lawyers, but to empower them. And in a profession where many still define themselves by their titles or roles, Jessica is carving out space for lawyers to live full, multidimensional lives. As she wisely notes, “You've got to find a place where you can be your authentic self.” Key Takeaways Jessica offers two powerful insights for all professionals—not just lawyers: Find a place where you can be your authentic self. If your current environment doesn't support who you are, there are others that will. Think of your career as a journey, not a destination. Jessica's path has included pivots, risks, and new beginnings. That's what made it rich and meaningful. Why This Matters Now This episode couldn't come at a better time. With workplaces in flux, AI reshaping industries, and the next generation demanding purpose and flexibility, Jessica's story provides a blueprint for a new kind of leadership—one that balances innovation with humanity.

A record high 7 million U.S. children have received an ADHD diagnosis, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. But journalist Paul Tough wonders if we're thinking about pediatric ADHD all wrong. For a recent New York Times Magazine feature, Tough spent a year talking to leading researchers who now say that standard treatments like Ritalin only help children behave better, not learn better – and even that effect wears off completely over time. We talk to Tough about why he says we need to reconceptualize diagnosis and treatment of ADHD. Guests: Paul Tough, contributing writer, New York Times Magazine Learn more about your ad choices.
