There is a version of yourself that you have been giving to other people. A version that is smaller than you actually are. A version that says yes when you mean no. A version that smiles when you are angry. A version that agrees when you disagree. A version that performs okay so that other people can be comfortable. A version that has been edited and edited and edited until it fits inside a shape that is too small for the actual person. A version that has been carefully constructed to take up less space than the real version. To need less. To want less. To be less complicated. To be easier. Easier to love. Easier to accept. Easier to be around. Easier to keep. And I know why you do it. I know the history.

Big Mike of Advanced Nutrients joins the podcast to discuss the future of cannabis, the importance of building world-class teams, and why industry-wide collaboration may be the key to long-term success. While alcohol and tobacco industries have benefited from unified advocacy and cooperation, Big Mike argues that cannabis remains too fragmented. He shares his vision for the One Plant Alliance, an initiative designed to bring the hemp and cannabis sectors together under a common purpose. According to Big Mike, true passion for the plant means putting collaboration ahead of competition. The conversation also explores Advanced Nutrients' global expansion, with the company now operating in 122 countries and experiencing 53% growth across Europe. Big Mike discusses emerging markets, the challenges and opportunities facing cultivators, and what it takes to scale a cannabis business on a global level. Plus, hear about the company's breakthrough octoploid genetics technology, which is producing 30-50% higher yields and could significantly impact the future of cultivation. Watch now for an in-depth conversation on innovation, leadership, global growth, and the next evolution of the cannabis industry.

If you've ever walked away from a mastermind, a coaching call, or a well-meaning conversation with a colleague feeling more confused than when you started — this episode is going to name something you've probably been living with for a long time. It's not that there's too little advice out there. It's that most of us have never stopped to ask whether the advice we're taking is actually right for us, our business, and where we are right now.My guest today is Sandra Booker, founder of Sidekick COO and creator of Scale Society, a fractional COO who works with established online service providers to find the single constraint costing them the most time and money — and then designs the systems and team structures to solve it. Sandra is one of the most well-respected operators in the online business world, and this conversation is exactly as good as I knew it would be.What Sandra and I get into goes way beyond operations and systems. We talk about how to know when you actually need to hire someone versus when you need a better process, the art of pausing before reacting when urgency sets in, and Sandra's concept of "curating your room" — being intentional about whose voices you let influence your decisions, and why the most impressive person in the room isn't always the right one to listen to. Sandra also shares a super cool AI tool that she built and has been using in her own business that I cannot wait for you to hear about — and that I think is going to change how a lot of you are using AI.In this episode we talk about:Why the "self-made" entrepreneur is a myth — and what the business owners who actually build something have in common that nobody talks aboutHow to tell the difference between needing a team member, needing a system, or needing to pause and look at what's already in your businessThe real cost of making decisions from fear, urgency, or comparison — and what to do insteadSandra's concept of curating your room — why your business bestie might be exactly the wrong person to consult when you have a hard decision to makeThe AI tool Sandra built called “The Advisory Board” — and how you can do the same for yourselfWhy the right move in a revenue dip is almost always to look inside your existing business first — and what to look forHow to evaluate advice you're hearing — whether it's from a podcast, a mastermind, or someone making big revenue claims onlineYour next best business decision is probably not going to come from someone else's strategy. It's going to come from getting clearer on what's actually happening inside your own business — and this episode is going to help you do that!Design the room your decisions deserve with Sandra's AI Boardroom Blueprint.

Joe Beda and Craig McLuckie co-created Kubernetes, the infrastructure standard that became the default for cloud native computing. Now running Stacklok, they're watching enterprises hit the same identity, permissions, and security problems with AI agents that took the container ecosystem years to resolve, and they're building tools to compress that timeline. In this episode of Founded & Funded, Madrona's Tim Porter sits down with Joe and Craig to talk through what AI adoption actually requires: why MCP is the Docker moment for AI-native applications, how the LLM gateway is becoming a strategic chokepoint for cost, safety, and model flexibility, and why enterprises that don't get the architecture right early will face a familiar trap: vertical integration that looks like productivity and acts like lock-in. They cover: Why the developer workflow is the template for knowledge worker AI adoption, and where the analogy breaks down The mainframe vs. open platform question that will define the AI infrastructure era Why the knowledge worker transition is harder than it looks — and what has to be built differently before developer-grade AI tooling can scale to the rest of your organization The governance gap between human accountability and AI behavior, and what enterprises actually need to build to close it Where to start: MCP controls first, LLM gateway second, and why deploying a platform without staying to close the loop consistently fails Transcript: https://www.madrona.com/the-best-infrastructure-moment-since-cloud Chapters: (0:00) – Introduction (1:04) – Why the Kubernetes Creators Are the Right People to Read This AI Moment (2:18) – Joe's Lesson from Cloud Native: Ignore Conventional Wisdom, Except When You Shouldn't (4:16) – Craig on Enterprises and the Chaos of a New Infrastructure Era (5:32) – Why Joe Rejoined Craig at Stacklok: The Engineer's Case for Getting Your Hands Dirty (7:05) – Developers as Agent Orchestrators: How the Knowledge Worker Transition Will Follow (10:10) – MCP Explained: Craig Sees Docker in 2013 When He Looks at the MCP Spec 1 (7:53) – The Mainframe vs. Open Platform Question That Will Define the AI Era (20:24) – LLM Lock-In Is the Wrong Worry: The Real Risk Is Left of the Model (25:19) – Where Enterprises Actually Start: Developer Posture First, Knowledge Workers Second (29:10) – MCP First, LLM Gateway Second: The Concrete Technical Starting Point (31:19) – How Stacklok Builds Software Now: Agents, Smaller Teams, the Unrecognizable Developer Profile (38:07) – The Recruiter Who Started Building Agents: What AI Tools Do to Role Boundaries

In this episode, Michael Blank sits down with entrepreneur, investor, and syndicator Jennifer DeJesus to discuss what it takes to scale from running multiple businesses to building a sophisticated real estate investment platform. Starting with a career in corporate America, Jennifer transitioned into real estate, eventually building a vertically integrated ecosystem that included a brokerage, property management company, title company, construction business, and investment fund. She shares how she learned to raise capital, structure syndications, create operational systems, and step out of the day-to-day grind so she could focus on growth. The conversation dives into the power of partnerships, the importance of building the right team, and why syndication is one of the most effective vehicles for scaling wealth and creating financial freedom.Key TakeawaysSyndication Is the Ultimate Scaling Tool Whether you're investing in real estate, acquiring businesses, or expanding into new asset classes, syndication allows you to leverage partnerships, capital, and expertise to grow faster.Build Systems Before You Scale Sustainable growth requires strong processes, clear accountability, and documented systems that allow the business to operate without constant owner involvement.The Right People in the Right Seats Changes Everything Scaling successfully depends on building a team with complementary strengths and ensuring every role is aligned with the company's vision and values.Raising Capital Becomes Easier When You Solve Real Problems Investors are more likely to invest when you're providing a clear solution to an existing need rather than simply pitching an opportunity.Entrepreneurs Must Learn to Work on the Business, Not Just in It Transitioning from operator to owner requires delegating responsibilities, trusting team members, and focusing on higher-value activities.Business Acquisitions Can Accelerate Growth Dramatically Once a strong operational foundation is in place, acquiring complementary businesses can be one of the fastest ways to expand revenue and market presence.Connect with MichaelFacebookInstagramYouTubeTikTokResourcesTheFreedomPodcast.com Access the #1 FREE Apartment Investing Course (Apartments 101)Schedule a Free Strategy Session with Michael's Team of AdvisorsExplore Michael's Mentoring ProgramJoin the Nighthawk Equity Investor ClubReview the Podcast on Apple PodcastsSyndicated Deal AnalyzerGet the Book, Financial Freedom with Real Estate Investing by Michael BlankFor full episode show notes visit: https://themichaelblank.com/podcasts/session527/

In the healthcare marketing industry, just when you think you have everything under control, a new change comes along. And, honestly, it's a heavy responsibility for leaders to build a team structure that can withstand the pressures of the ever-evolving healthcare marketing space, but it also keeps things exciting! In this week's episode, our CEO, Jenny Bristow, shares two key concepts from the Entrepreneurial Operating System (EOS) framework that have helped Hedy & Hopp build a solid marketing team that has withstood many industry changes: the accountability chart & the “Right Person, Right Seat” framework.The Accountability Chart: The accountability chart is distinctly different from traditional job titles and organizational charts in that it focuses on the essential functions a team needs to operate efficiently. Start by mapping out core functions, such as content strategy, paid media, analytics, etc., and assigning responsibilities to each “seat.” When developing an accountability chart, it's critical to ignore current personnel to design an ideal structure from scratch, ensuring zero ambiguity regarding who owns each function.The "Right Person, Right Seat" (RPRS) Framework: Once the ideal structure is developed, evaluate current staff through two lenses: Right Person & Right Seat. Right Person assesses whether the individual shares the organization's core values. Right Seat utilizes the “GWC” framework (Get It, Want It, Capacity to Do It) to determine if a person is suited for a particular role. In other words does the person understand the requirements of the role? Are they genuinely excited and motivated to perform the responsibilities of the seat? And do they possess the mental, emotional, and technical capacity to succeed in the position?Separating the person from the problem is vital when restructuring. If a team member lacks the capacity for a specific modern technical role, it does not necessarily mean they must leave the organization; they may simply belong in a different seat.Connect with Jenny:Email: jenny@hedyandhopp.comLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jennybristow/If you enjoyed this episode, we'd love to hear your feedback!

British pianist, composer and educator Joe Webb joins me for an honest conversation about what it actually takes to become the musician you want to be.Joe Webb is a highly regarded pianist, jazz musician, and London-based composer, originally from Wales. He has emerged as a leading force on the U.K jazz scene today, captivating audiences with his exceptional talent and rockstar-like persona.We talk about Joe's early connection with jazz and piano, the key moments that shaped his path, and how he's grown into one of the most distinctive voices on today's scene.But more importantly, explore the less visible side of the journey - the importance of building the right support system, surrounding yourself with people who believe in you, and developing the skills that aren't taught at the piano. We also dive into Joe's latest album Neath Beat, and the sonic world behind it - what it represents creatively and personally at this stage in his career.At the heart of this conversation is a simple but powerful idea: who you become along the way matters more than the outcome.If you're a musician trying to build something meaningful, there's a lot in here for you!Table of contents:0:00 Intro 02:07 Early Connection to Jazz & Piano 06:42 Jazz Today: More Than Music 08:30 Finding Freedom in Jazz 13:00 The Power of the Right People 17:07 Why Your Local Scene Matters 19:37 Building Meaningful Relationships 24:50 Embracing Who You Are 30:10 Do You Need to Move to a Bigger City? 36:07 ‘Neath the Beat': The Sonic World 43:48 Advice for Musicians: Stay HonestAs you listened, what reflection stayed with you the most?Let's talk about today's episode:

Jimmy Kimmel just told his audience to never watch CBS again after Stephen Colbert's final show — because Byron Allen is replacing Colbert with a comedy show that has zero politics. Trump was asked about Colbert's exit, and his smile said everything. Meanwhile Brian Stelter eulogized Colbert as a "ministerial presence" and Bruce Springsteen ranted about freedom on the very network that let Colbert say whatever he wanted for six months.

Most companies think innovation is about technology, strategy, or process. Dr. Bruce Vojak says they're wrong. In this episode of Deep Leadership, Jon Rennie sits down with innovation expert Dr. Bruce Vojak to explore why innovation succeeds or fails based on the people inside the organization. Drawing from decades of experience at companies like Motorola and from his research on “serial innovators,” Bruce explains how breakthrough ideas actually happen and why mature companies must innovate if they want to survive. They discuss: Why innovation is more than creativity or new technology The connection between innovation and organizational resilience How great leaders create cultures where ideas can surface Why some employees can “see patterns” others miss The hidden innovators already inside your company How mature industries can still create breakthrough innovation Why introverts often become powerful innovators The leadership mistakes that quietly kill innovation If you lead a business, manage a team, or want your organization to stay competitive in a rapidly changing world, this conversation is packed with practical insight. Dr. Bruce Vojak is the co-author of No Excuses Innovation and Serial Innovators and advises organizations on building sustainable innovation cultures that drive long-term success.

Damien Antony | Morning Glory 1918 | 14 May 2026നിങ്ങൾ ഒറ്റയ്ക്ക് പോരാടി തളരുകയാണോ? ദൈവം നിങ്ങളെ സൃഷ്ടിച്ചത് ഒറ്റയ്ക്ക് നടക്കാനല്ല, മറിച്ച് ദൈവരാജ്യത്തിന്റെ വലിയ ഫലങ്ങൾക്കായി ശരിയായ ആളുകളുമായി ചേർന്ന് പ്രവർത്തിക്കാനാണ്. ഈ സന്ദേശം നിങ്ങളുടെ ജീവിതത്തിലെ പുതിയ വാതിലുകൾ തുറക്കും.Biblical success is never an isolated event but a result of Kingdom Partnerships and divine alignment. In this deep-dive Malayalam Bible study, we explore the spiritual mechanics of Ecclesiastes 4:9, which declares that "two are better than one" because they have a good return for their labor. Many believers remain stagnant because they lack the productive alignment necessary for exponential growth. This is not mere companionship; it is a Heavenly System designed to multiply your capacity. Whether in marriage as life partners, in business as strategic collaborators, or in ministry as covenant partners, the principle of synergy (Energy + Energy) remains the same. When God connects the right people for the right purpose, the impact is not just doubled - it is magnified.ദൈവവചനത്തിൻ്റെ അനുഗ്രഹങ്ങൾക്കായി Blessing Today ചാനൽ ഇപ്പോൾ തന്നെ Subscribe ചെയ്യൂ! ✨പുതിയ വീഡിയോകൾക്കായി Bell Icon അമർത്തുക.

What if the reason your marketing isn't working… isn't your strategy — but how it feels? Online spaces today are flooded with automation, AI-generated content, and constant noise, but people are craving something different: connection. And yet, many brands are still focused on volume over meaning — pushing out more content instead of authentic stories. In this episode, Rachel sits down with Deanna Dolecki, president of Blue Duck Agency, and Ashley Ruggeri, the agency's senior marketing leader, to unpack what's actually working in today's marketing landscape — and why the future belongs to brands that sound more human, not more polished. With decades of combined experience across acquisition, retention, and integrated marketing, Deanna and Ashley bring both strategic depth and real-world perspective. From subscription-based growth to multi-channel campaigns, they've seen firsthand what separates brands that convert from those that get ignored. In this episode, Deanna and Ashley break down how to build a marketing engine that drives growth and trust. Why Storytelling Is the New Competitive Edge For a while, marketing became a numbers game — more touchpoints, more channels, more output. But somewhere along the way, brands lost the plot: the human on the other side. Deanna and Ashley share how storytelling is making a powerful comeback — not as a "nice to have," but as a core business strategy. Today's audiences don't just want to know what you do — they want to understand who you are and why it matters. This shift is especially important in a world where AI can generate endless content. When everything starts to sound the same, authenticity becomes the differentiator. Imperfection, speed, and personality aren't liabilities — they're assets. The takeaway? If your content feels too polished, it might be costing you trust. The brands that win are the ones willing to show up as real, relatable, and human. Growth Comes From Reaching the Right People, Not Just More People While storytelling builds connection, strategy is what drives results — and that's where Blue Duck excels. Deanna and Ashley pull back the curtain on their approach to customer acquisition, especially in subscription and membership-based businesses. From highly targeted email acquisition to multi-channel integration, their focus is clear: reach the right people, not just more people. They emphasize that success isn't about chasing every new channel — it's about understanding your audience deeply and building campaigns around that insight. Clean data, intentional targeting, and thoughtful execution make the difference between noise and conversion. They also address the role of AI, calling it what it truly is: a powerful tool, but not a replacement for strategic thinking. The brands that rely solely on automation risk losing the nuance and creativity that drive meaningful engagement.

But  I still think we need some time before we get full scale on the AI capabilities." 16:44–17:00 "The thing that we forget sometimes as marketers is that the people we're talking to have other things going on. They have real lives. They're doing a million things a day. So, it's not enough to just hit them with 25 touch points. You need to get them invested in who you are." Quotes "Perfect content isn't the goal anymore — real content is." "You want a partner who's willing to say no, not just take your money." "AI can support the work, but it can't replace the thinking behind it."

Tucker Carlson, the right wing pundit and onetime Donald Trump diehard, now says he regrets supporting the President. Carlson apologized on his show for misleading his audiences and said he'll be tormented over that support for a long time. The comments mark a high-profile break between Trump and his former media ally, and they come amid growing divisions within the Republican party over Iran. New Yorker staff writer Jason Zengerle took a close look at Carlson's many iterations and reversals in his recent biography “Hated by All the Right People.” We talk to Zengerle about what Carlson's apparent change of heart signals about the future of Trump-era conservatism and get your reactions.

You think you're healing. But you're not. You're rehearsing the pain. You're replaying the memory. You're decorating the prison cell like it's home. In this message, Pastor TJ Tyus delivers one of the most convicting sermons you'll hear this year, a word about the memories that are holding you back from the destiny God already wrote for you. Using the story of Abraham, the power of an egg, and a raw testimony about his daughter Aries, Pastor TJ breaks down why most people never reach what God has for them — not because they're stuck, but because they keep going back. You're not trying to heal. You're trying to hold on. And what you're holding onto is exactly what's keeping you from breaking through. In this message you'll discover: → Why your pain isn't the problem — your rehearsal of it is → The difference between leaving and going (and why most people only do one) → How memories break you from the outside, but destiny breaks you from the inside → Why God speaks to your destiny while you're still speaking to your history → The adoption principle: your past doesn't matter when God says you're His → A simple 3-step strategy to break the memory loop and start walking in purpose → Why some people had to leave your life — not because they're bad, but because you're in a different season

Tucker Carlson was one of President Trump's biggest defenders. Now, he's one of his loudest critics. Tucker Carlson now says he is “tormented” by his previous support for President Trump.The conservative media personality has criticized the president over the U.S. war with Iran, among other issues.  New Yorker writer Jason Zengerle has followed Tucker Carlson for years. He's the author of a book about Carlson, “Hated by All the Right People."Zengerle says that while from time to time Carlson's support for Trump has wavered, this time is different. For sponsor-free episodes of Consider This, sign up for Consider This+ via Apple Podcasts or at plus.npr.org. Email us at considerthis@npr.org.This episode was produced by Kai McNamee and Karen Zamora.It was edited by Patrick Jarenwattananon and Courtney Dorning.Our executive producer is Sami Yenigun.See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for sponsorship and to manage your podcast sponsorship preferences.NPR Privacy Policy

The GWC Framework: Why “Wants It” Determines Everything! The biggest hiring mistake in a chiropractic business usually is not talent, training, or even culture fit. It is putting someone in a seat they do not actually want.   Dr. Stephen and Dr. Pete unpack the GWC framework from Traction and show why “Wants It” is often the hidden reason behind underperformance, turnover, frustration, and team instability. They break down how to properly evaluate whether a team member gets the role, wants the role, and has the capacity to perform it, while challenging CEOs to stop selling people on positions and start building a stronger hiring process. The payoff is a more aligned team, healthier culture, lower turnover, and a business that can grow with greater clarity and momentum. In This Episode You Will: Understand why “Wants It” is often the missing factor behind team underperformance and turnover.  Learn how to use the GWC framework to assess role fit with greater precision.  Discover why selling people on a role creates costly hiring mistakes.  Clarify the difference between the right person and the right seat.  See how stronger team alignment protects culture, momentum, and long-term growth. Episode Highlights 03:51 - Recognize that underperformance, quitting, and firing often begin long before the visible breakdown appears inside the practice. 04:46 - Discover how the GWC framework reveals a deeper predictor of whether someone will truly succeed on a team. 06:25 - Understand why a person can clearly get the role and still fail simply because the internal desire to own it is missing. 08:05 - Uncover how misalignment between a position and a person's real motivation quietly sabotages performance over time. 09:44 - Clarify that wanting the role is what makes hard work sustainable when the pressure and difficulty inevitably rise. 10:41 - Examine why CEOs must stop guessing about role fit and start asking direct questions that expose real understanding and commitment. 12:28 - Reveal the costly mistake of selling people on a role instead of testing whether they will fight for it themselves. 16:03 - Differentiate between moving slowly in hiring and moving precisely by asking better questions that expose fit earlier. 19:23 - Explore how many chiropractors discover too late that loving chiropractic is not the same as wanting to be a business owner. 21:30 - Identify how most persistent business pain traces back upstream to a team issue and, more specifically, a right-seat issue. 24:37 - As a Success Partner, Chiro-Ads Academy brings a powerful, in-house approach to digital marketing that helps practices take control of new patient acquisition. As Dr. Eric sits down with Dr. Travis Stewart, the conversation reveals how early struggles with inconsistent agency results led to a proven system that lowers lead costs, improves conversion, and drives predictable growth through trust-based advertising and data-driven decision-making. If you are ready to create consistent, scalable growth you will want to explore how this system can transform your practice.   Resources Mentioned To learn more about the REM CEO Program, please visit:  http://www.theremarkablepractice.com/rem-ceo For more information about Chiro-Ads Academy please visit: www.makingmuvs.com/TRP     Book a Strategy Session with Dr. Pete - https://go.oncehub.com/PodcastPC Prefer to watch?

Participatory governance in healthcare means asking the right people the right questions. Three stories where listening as leadership changed everything. Summary This episode is about listening as leadership — the gap between where knowledge lives and where decisions get made, and what it costs when we pretend that gap doesn’t exist. Three stories from my career as a nurse manager, quality director, and VP — three moments where participatory governance in healthcare produced the same result: a no to the status quo. Not a radical no. An obvious one. Obvious, that is, once someone finally asked the people living inside the system. Topics covered: Open visiting hours in the ICU — and what happened when staff pushed back Seven therapy visits, no prior authorization required — and what happened when the company was acquired A disability services resident on a board of directors — and the simple fix that improved every patient experience metric Why participatory governance is the fastest, cheapest diagnostic tool most health system leaders never use The honest difference between patient advisory boards and actually sharing power with patients What patient-centered care looks like when it moves beyond consultation into real shared decision making Click here to view the printable newsletter. More readable than a transcript. Contents Table of Contents Toggle EpisodeProemPart 1: ICU Doors OpenPart 2: Seven Visits, No Questions AskedPart 3: The Right to Say GoodbyeSynthesis: What's Common Across All ThreeReflection Podcast episode on YouTube Episode Proem I’ve spent most of my career in institutions, hospitals, managed care companies, and disability services agencies. These are large, slow-moving systems with their own inertia, logic, and knack for designing processes that work best for billing, and not so well for those receiving or providing services. I should know. I’ve been inside these systems as a clinician, boss, consultant, caregiver, and patient. The boldest changes I was part of didn’t come from a consultant’s report. They didn’t come from a board retreat or a leaders' strategic planning day off-site — though, Lord knows, I’ve sat through plenty of those. They came from the moment when someone, usually someone with very little institutional power, said: This doesn’t work. It’s hurting us. The hardest part wasn’t hearing that. The hardest part was finding the gumption to act. Institutions are good at explaining why things are the way they are. They have binders of policies for that. My secret as a consultant was embarrassingly simple: the people who hired me already had the answers they needed. The nurse who’d been there fifteen years knew. The member who couldn’t get her calls returned knew. I sought them out, listened, and translated their words into a PowerPoint that the boardroom could hear. I want to tell you about three times I got it right. Three moments when the change that mattered was a no. No to visiting hours that kept families from the people they loved. No to a prior authorization process that treated patients and clinicians like suspects and required an army to administer that suspicion. No to a system that let care aides disappear from people’s lives without warning or goodbye, as if the people whose lives they were in didn’t deserve a heads-up. None of these nos were mine originally. I heard them from a family pacing a waiting room, from a member who couldn’t get the help she needed, and from a man with a disability who sat on our board and told us, plainly, what it felt like to wake up one day to find that someone essential to his life was simply gone. Participatory governance sounds like it belongs in a policy manual, right between stakeholder alignment and learning organization. When participatory governance works, it's permission. Permission for the people living and working within a system to tell the truth about it. And the willingness, on the part of whoever’s in charge, to let that truth land. Even when it’s inconvenient. Especially then. Part 1: ICU Doors Open My first experience as a boss was as an ICU nurse manager, a job I got, I should mention, without ever having worked in an ICU or having been a boss. A story for another day. The honeymoon was short. Strictly prescribed visiting hours, ninety minutes in the morning, ninety in the evening, were leaving families miserable. I could see it. They could feel it. In collaboration with my bosses, the ICU medical director, and the chief nurse, I eliminated visiting-hour limits entirely. My staff, who had recruited me for the role, now deeply regretted it. I hadn’t consulted them or thought through the workflow implications. They were furious, and they weren’t wrong to be. But we kept the visiting hours open. Over time, something shifted. I learned how to be a boss. Nurses learned to include families in care and treatment. Patients and families arrived home better prepared. Physicians, for their part, didn’t much care either way. The lesson I learned: this was a story about control. Mine, the nurses’, and ultimately the families’. We eventually set up an informal patient and family advisory group, not because I had planned to, but because we needed them in the room. Part 2: Seven Visits, No Questions Asked My job title was Director of Quality at a behavioral health managed care company. If you’ve spent any time in managed care, you know what that means: Director of Trying to Get an A+ in Every Measure, Whether It Has Meaning or Not. Prior authorization was the centerpiece. A member needs therapy. Their provider submits a request. Someone on our end reviews it, approves or denies it, requests more information, waits, and follows up. The member waits. The provider waits. And somewhere in all that waiting, the person who needed help either got it, gave up, or got worse. I inherited this process. I did not invent it. My boss and I set up an advisory group with members on one side and providers on the other. We asked about their experiences with our company. They were not subtle. Members said the pre-auth process made them feel they had to prove they deserved care. Providers said the company’s default assumption was that they were lying. Neither response was a ringing endorsement. So, we experimented: seven visits, upon request. No authorization required. If a member or their provider asks, they get them. No forms, no review, no waiting. The result: outcomes held. Members received care faster. Providers stopped spending half their administrative time on the phone with us. And our call center, the engine room of the prior authorization machine, grew quieter. Then quieter still. A substantial portion of our staff spent all day managing a process that, in large part, was designed to manage itself. Strip it out, and you didn’t need nearly as many people to run it. The bureaucracy wasn’t protecting anyone. It was the cost. We had real data. Member satisfaction trended up. Providers, for the first time in recent memory, said something positive about the company. The advisory group had surfaced a truth that no quality metric had found, because no quality metric had asked the right people the right question. Then the company was acquired. New owners, new priorities, no appetite for any of this. The program was terminated, and the advisory group disbanded. I can only assume the prior authorization process resumed its proud tradition of making everyone miserable in the name of oversight. I learned that participatory governance surfaces the truth faster than most quality improvement methodologies I’ve encountered. But institutions don’t always want the truth. Sometimes they want the process. The process is familiar. It distributes responsibility. It means nobody has to decide. The advisory group uncovered a truth. It turned out that the people who bought the company got a veto. Part 3: The Right to Say Goodbye There’s a particular kind of organizational meeting where everyone knows something is wrong, the data is right there on the slides, and somehow the conversation goes nowhere. Lots of nodding. Lots of concern. Lots of commitment to further analysis. I worked as VP of Quality at an organization supporting forty thousand people with disabilities, many of them living in group homes, relying on personal care aides for the most intimate parts of daily life. Getting dressed. Eating. Toileting. Moving through the world. At my first Board meeting, we reviewed satisfaction survey results, which were poor. They were not nuanced, requiring careful interpretation. They told us something was bad. And we were doing what organizations do: analyzing, discussing, and scheduling follow-up meetings to review the analysis. We were not asking the people who lived there. The agency was committed to resident/patient participation in governance committees, including the Board; in this case, a resident of one of our group homes served on the Board. Not as a symbol. As a Board member. At one of these meetings, in the middle of what was shaping up to be another productive session of collective concern, he said something that stopped the room. He said: People leave without warning. A personal care aide, someone who helps you start each day, who knows how you take your coffee, which jokes make you laugh, and how you like your blanket folded, is just gone one morning. No notice. No goodbye. Someone new shows up, and you’re expected to adjust. He said it plainly, not as an accusation but as a fact. He apparently assumed, incorrectly, that we already knew. We didn’t. Or rather, someone knew. The people living in the homes knew. The aides probably knew. It just hadn’t made it into the meeting room until he put it there. The fix was insultingly simple. When an aide left, for any reason, residents would be told in advance. A chance to say goodbye. A proper introduction to whoever came next, rather than a key, an address, and good luck. That was the intervention. Advance notice, a goodbye, a hello — the basic courtesies we’d extend to anyone, anywhere, in any other context. Survey results improved dramatically in the next cycle. Not in one or two categories. Across the board. Because what was wrong wasn’t a program or a resource allocation. It was that the people living inside the system had been treated as though their experience of it didn’t count as information. The lesson I carry from that room is the simplest I know: the person living inside the system always knows. They know what’s breaking, what would fix it, and they’ve usually been waiting, sometimes for years, for someone to ask. You just have to put them in the room and believe them when they speak. The keyword is just. Just assumes a lot. Synthesis: What's Common Across All Three Three organizations. Three populations. Three problems, unresolved within systems staffed by smart, well-meaning people. In every case, the answer was already there. It lived in the wrong room. I want to be honest about something. Looking back, only one of these three was truly participatory governance: the man in the group home who served on our board. The ICU families and advisory group members had real influence but no structural authority. They could inform decisions, but they couldn’t stop them. That distinction matters, and I don’t want to paper over it. What they all shared was something simpler yet harder than governance design: someone with institutional power chose to ask, then chose to act on what they heard. The families pacing the ICU waiting room knew visiting hours weren’t protecting patients; they were protecting the unit’s sense of order. The members and providers in that behavioral health advisory group knew prior authorization wasn’t ensuring quality; it was ensuring paperwork. The man on our board knew what was breaking down wasn’t resources or staffing ratios. It was the simple human expectation of a goodbye. None of them needed a consultant. They needed someone with enough authority to ask the question and enough humility to sit with the answer. Here’s what I’ve come to believe: participatory governance, done seriously, is the fastest and cheapest diagnostic tool any leader has. Faster than a consultant. Cheaper than a task force. More accurate than a satisfaction survey that asks the wrong questions of the right people and calls it listening. The nos in these stories weren’t radical. They were obvious, embarrassingly obvious, once you asked the people who already knew. What made them feel radical was the gap between where the knowledge lived and where decisions were made. That gap has a name. Several, actually. We call it hierarchy, liability, chain of command, and expertise — the comfortable assumption that the people at the top understand a system better than those inside it every day. Sometimes that’s true. Often it isn’t. And the cost of acting as though it’s always true is borne by those with the least power to push back. The anxious family in the hallway. The member who couldn’t get through. The man in the group home who, generously, assumed we already knew what he was about to tell us. They were the experts. We had the org chart. Reflection Honestly, I’m proud of these three stories, but I’m not sure I deserve much credit. In each case, the hard work, the observing, the enduring, the knowing, was done by someone else. A family pacing a hallway. A patient who kept calling back. A man who showed up for board meetings and told the truth to a room that had been avoiding it. I contributed a willingness to ask and enough positional authority to act on what I heard. I'm struck by how long those answers had been waiting. The ICU families weren’t new. Frustration with prior auth wasn’t a surprise to anyone who’d navigated it. How long had group home residents been losing people without warning? Nobody seemed to know exactly, long enough that it had stopped registering as a problem and had started registering as just the way things were. That’s the part I can’t shake: the way systems normalize their own failures. The way this is how we do it becomes indistinguishable from this is the only way it can be done. And the people most hurt by that confusion are usually the least positioned to correct it. I got lucky. Three times, I was in the right seat, and the right person was willing to tell me what I needed to hear. Not every leader gets that, and not every leader goes looking for it. The question I’d leave you with — the one I still ask whenever I walk into a new system, a new organization, or any room where decisions are being made about people who aren’t present: Who already knows the answer? And what would it take to let them say it out loud? If you’ve been in that room — where someone finally said the quiet part and the right no was finally spoken — I want to hear about it.

Every leader has conversations they're dreading, avoiding, or fumbling before they even begin. In this episode, Lee Scott unpacks one of the most underestimated tools in the leadership toolkit, the compelling invitation. Not the ambush, not the vague "can we talk?" text, and not the cold command to report to the conference room. The compelling invitation is the art and science of getting the right person to show up curious, safe, and ready to engage, before the real conversation even starts. Drawing on frameworks from "Crucial Conversations," Chris Voss's "Never Split the Difference", Edgar Schein's humble inquiry, and Judith Glaser's conversational intelligence, Lee walks through the anatomy of a compelling invitation, and why skipping it is almost always your worst option. Whether you're navigating a performance challenge, pitching an idea upward, asking for a raise, or addressing friction in a long-standing relationship, how you extend the invitation shapes everything that follows.   Additional Resources: Attend Unleashing Leaders University!
