Podcasts about retooling

Feeling exhausted on your growth journey? You're not alone. In this revealing episode, Reed and Jake unpack the counterintuitive truth that sustainable personal development requires strategic pauses, not just relentless pushing forward.We introduce "The Three R's" framework—a powerful diagnostic tool for anyone experiencing growth fatigue. First, we examine how Rest functions as legitimate self-leadership, not laziness. Physical sleep, emotional downtime, and mental disconnection aren't optional luxuries—they're essential practices that prevent burnout from choosing rest for you. As we explain, "If you feel like you have to work seven days a week to get everything done, working five or six days with intentional unplugging will actually help you accomplish more."Next, we explore Recreation (literally "re-creation") as a necessary component of sustained growth. We distinguish between activities that truly refresh you versus those that merely numb you—a critical difference that determines whether you're rebuilding your resources or simply escaping. What makes you feel alive again? Is it adventure, deep conversation, artistic expression, or something entirely different? The answer is highly individual and worth discovering.Finally, we discuss Retooling—the intentional sharpening of skills through courses, mentorships, and deliberate practice. "If you're too busy to improve, you're too busy to succeed," as Stephen Covey wisely noted. We share practical approaches to retooling in the real estate world, including the surprisingly generous culture of knowledge-sharing among competitors.Our challenge to you: Schedule 24 guilt-free hours of rest, do one thing that makes you feel truly alive, and invest in retooling this week. Your sustainable growth depends on it.Here's a tool to help you improve your professionalism NOW: go to https://areapro.com/rmg/ to get started with AreaPro and get ready for your business to boom! https://www.rmgagentpodcast.com/https://www.youtube.com/@RMGAgentPodcast/featured

Welcome to another episode of the Private Equity Podcast. Today, I'm joined by Andrew Towne, Partner at Olympus Pines. We break down what it really takes to grow a portfolio company—hiring the right team, aligning goals, building execution plans, and pulling the right levers for revenue and EBITDA growth. If you're after a practical playbook on scaling businesses in the lower mid-market, this episode delivers.[00:00] Andrew Towne returns to discuss how to grow portfolio companies through team building, planning, and execution.[00:28] Success in business = aligned goals, right people in the right seats, clear plans, and proper tools/incentives.[01:55] Biggest failures come from misaligned goals. Everyone must row in the same direction.[02:26] Use role charters and RACI charts to align responsibilities and decision-making across the org.[04:22] Attracting top talent means clarity on role, expectations, comp, benefits, culture. Be transparent up front.[07:06] Retention comes down to delivering on promises, offering development, paying fairly, and giving feedback.[09:37] Managers should seek upward feedback – your team's opinion matters more than your boss's.[11:32] Evaluate talent by hard skills (resume, technical test) and soft skills (learning ability, judgment, self-starting).[14:53] Roadmaps keep execution on track – break down goals into sub-goals and timed milestones across the team.[17:38] Regular team accountability meetings ensure goals stay on track and interdependencies are met.[18:43] Training, tools, and incentives must align to role and company success – weight comp more to team wins.[20:39] You don't need fancy systems – role clarity and RACI charts can live in Word and Excel.[22:07] Deal sourcing: pick a sector, build your own target list, run a disciplined, high-integrity outreach campaign.[24:57] Be transparent with sellers – don't hide your intentions. Build trust from the first call.[26:16] Consider: can you build instead of buy? Sometimes starting from scratch is the better play.[27:37] Avoid shiny object syndrome – write down what matters to you first, then find sectors that match it.[30:37] Six top-line levers: optimize product mix, segment customers, fix pricing, retain the right customers, improve collections, manage working capital.[35:33] Hire execs aligned with the thesis – if transformation is needed, bring in people who've done it before.[38:56] Cost isn't just headcount – optimize procurement, renegotiate vendors, rethink distribution, and energy use.[41:58] Retooling and reskilling can outperform layoffs – invest in your people and slow unnecessary hiring.[42:56] Thanks to Andrew for sharing his portfolio playbook and growth strategies.[43:24] Subscribe for more episodes every week.

What's next for The Idea of Manhood. Retooling. In the meantime, stop being iffy… More to come…

OSF HealthCare stands as a model health system for those who want to do innovation right. One of the defining characteristics of the Peoria, Illinois-based system is how it aligns innovation with operations for everyone – all 24,000 employees across 159 locations, including 16 hospitals.Becky Buchen is responsible for driving innovation at OSF HealthCare. As SVP of Innovation Operations she works to engage and educate people on the innovation process, leveraging the eco-system for innovation built at OSF, including simulation, analytics, OSF Ventures, Innovation Studio, Digital Innovation Development and Performance Improvement.Becky's background in performance improvement has been a major influence in OSF HealthCare's approach to innovation. Prior to her role leading innovation, she served as VP of Performance Improvement where she focused on implementing methodologies to monitor, assess and improve patient experience, patient outcomes, and overall operations.In this episode of Healthcare is Hard, Becky talked to Keith Figlioli about how OSF HealthCare formalized its vision for innovation more than a decade ago and the thoughtful approach to ensuring that it would be fully integrated – not simply a “bolt on.” The goal was to truly make an impact and transform how care was delivered across the organization, and to do so, OSF HealthCare recognized that it had to apply the same level of rigor for exploring, testing and measuring innovation initiatives as it historically had to performance improvement.In her conversation with Keith, Becky discussed specifics about OSF HealthCare's approach to innovation that both digital health entrepreneurs and other health systems can learn from. Some of the topics they discussed include:Integrating innovation into culture. Perhaps the most visible example of OSF HealthCare's commitment to integrating innovation into every aspect of its operations is the physical footprint. At its main campus, OSF HealthCare has an entire building dedicated to innovation, including two floors built for simulation, allowing clinicians to test and understand new approaches in a safe space, two floors housing its healthcare analytics division, and much more.What health systems are getting wrong (and right). To approach innovation successfully, Becky says health systems need to first have a fundamental understanding of the problems they're trying to solve. She warned of dedicating resources towards solutions that are looking for problems. OSF HealthCare learned to avoid this trap early, but Becky says it's still an area of caution for some systems. She talked about how critical it is to pick problems that are big enough to make a significant impact when they're solved in new and different ways.Retooling and reskilling due to artificial intelligence. Becky talked about the healthcare industry being “data rich and information poor,” and described efforts to centralize data and improve data quality as a critical step to driving value from innovation. While tools like those being explored with generative AI will ultimately allow healthcare organizations to operate more efficiently, data quality and proper governance are essential to establish first.

In this episode of Shark Theory, host Baylor Barbee marks his return after a brief hiatus with powerful insights on the importance of taking breaks and the benefits of reflection, reloading, and retooling in one's life and work. Baylor uses his experiences and anecdotes to underline the necessity of stepping back to assess growth and impact, particularly emphasizing the perspective gained from his recent two-week break—the longest he's ever been away from the podcast in six years. Reflecting on an old basketball injury and the lessons learned, Baylor encourages listeners to appreciate their daily endeavors without waiting for life-altering events to instill gratitude. By taking deliberate breaks, one can cultivate a deeper appreciation for life's activities, whether they are going smoothly or encountering challenges. He advocates for a mindset shift to engage with positivity and improvement consistently. Additionally, Baylor discusses the steps he took during his break to reload his energies and focus, driving home the message of continuously seeking ways to enhance one's impact and effectiveness in any venture. His revelation about focusing on resilience and confidence moving forward sets a compelling directive for his future content. Key Takeaways: Importance of Strategic Breaks: Regular breaks provide opportunities for recovery, reflection, and strategic thinking to ensure growth and effectiveness. Cultivate Appreciation: Actively appreciating daily activities helps avoid taking life's pleasures and routines for granted. Reload and Reflect: Use breaks to ask critical questions about current practices and identify areas for improvement and greater impact. Double Down on Strengths: Focus on enhancing what works well instead of merely fixing what doesn't to achieve greater success. Retooling for Better Performance: Always return from breaks with a renewed, improved approach for higher effectiveness and peak performance. Notable Quotes: "I think it's important in everything you do in life worthwhile that you have periods where you take a break so that you can reflect, reload, and retool." "Don't wait till life sidelines you to miss something." "If we find a way to love or enjoy or get the most, see the optimistic side of anything that we're involved in, we're going to get the most out of our life." "How can I be more impactful? How can I be more effective? And then retool and say, I don't want to come back how I came in. I want to come back elevated. I want to come back refreshed."

“A toxic flood of dark money has given billionaires and special interests a powerful way to rig the system secretly in their favour…” These are the words of Senator Sheldon Whitehouse, ahead of a debate in the US Congress around the Spending in Elections (DISCLOSE) Act. But this phrase could equally be applied to the UK, where Russian Oligarchs and dark money interests have been able to cleanse their ill-gotten gains for decades through the London financial laundromat. Londongrad is the phrase coined to describe the high presence of Russians in the United Kingdom, especially in reference to Russian money in London, permeating its service sector and securing political influence. ---------- Casey Michel is head of the Combating Kleptocracy Program at the Human Rights Foundation, focusing on how dictators and autocrats use illicit finance and dirty money to remain in power.

SummaryIn this conversation, Jeff Wald debunks the myth that AI and robotics will take away a significant number of jobs in the coming years. He explains that throughout history, similar fears have arisen with the introduction of new technologies, but the impact on jobs has been gradual and limited to repetitive, high-volume tasks. He uses the example of the ATM to illustrate how automation does not lead to job loss but rather a shift in job roles. Jeff emphasizes the importance of staying informed about technological advancements and continuously upskilling to stay relevant in the changing job market. Takeaways·AI and robotics are not going to take away a significant number of jobs in the coming years.·The fear phase is a common reaction to new technological advancements.·Automation and robotics primarily replace repetitive, high-volume tasks, not entire professions.·Staying informed about technological advancements and continuously upskilling is crucial to staying relevant in the job market. Chapters00:20 AI and Robotics Myth02:33 Fear and Freak Out Phase03:29 Impact on Repetitive Tasks05:54 Reshoring Trend07:43 Long Process of Technological Revolution08:11 ATM Example12:49 Staying Relevant and Upskilling16:06 Retooling the Workforce17:21 Labor Shortage as the Overriding Story19:19 Book Information Connect With Jeff:Website: https://www.jeffwald.comLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jeffwald/  Support Titans of the Trades: If you found this episode insightful, please subscribe, share, and leave a review for Titans of the Trades.
