Ken Lain's father-in-law, Harold Watters, opened a garden center in semi-arid, mountainous Prescott, Arizona, in 1962. Six decades later, garden centers aren't exactly giving e-commerce companies and Big Box home improvement centers much in the way of competition, and countless brick-and-mortar retailers have gone out of business. Yet Ken, his wife, Lisa, and their daughter, McKenzie, have continued to make their third-generation family business, Waters Garden Center, bloom. Now, the Lains stand at the cusp of an ambitious expansion into new markets. This week father and daughter share the nutrient-rich business strategies that every small enterprise can use to grow its own remarkable success story.  [Ken and McKenzie Lain will be featured in All You Can Eat Business Wisdom: Second Helpings, coming in 2026. The anthology is the sequel of co-host Maxwell Rotbart's award winning first edition, All You Can Eat Business Wisdom: A Monday Morning Radio Anthology of Actionable Advice.]  Monday Morning Radio is hosted by the father-son duo of Dean and Maxwell Rotbart.

She brings sharp examples from real teams, highlights the quiet builders shaping change, and roots her perspective in the resilience she learned from the women in her own family. If you want a straightforward view of what practical, human-centered AI adoption actually looks like, this episode is worth your time.About PamPam Boiros is a consultant who helps marketing teams find direction and build plans that feel doable. She leads Marketing AI Jump Start and works as a fractional CMO for clients like Reclaim Health, giving teams practical ways to bring AI into their day-to-day work. She's also a founding member of Women Applying AI, a new community that launched in Sep 2025 that creates a supportive space for women to learn AI together and grow their confidence in the field.Earlier in her career, Pam spent 12 years at a fast-growing startup that Skillsoft later acquired, then stepped into senior marketing and product leadership there for another three and a half years. That blend of startup pace and enterprise structure shapes how she guides her clients today.How To Audit Data Fingerprints For AI Bias In MarketingAI bias spreads quietly in marketing systems, and Pam treats it as a pattern problem rather than a mistake problem. She explains that models repeat whatever they have inherited from the data, and that repetition creates signals that look normal on the surface. Many teams read those signals as truth because the outputs feel familiar. Pam has watched marketing groups make confident decisions on top of datasets they never examined, and she believes this is how invisible bias gains momentum long before anyone sees the consequences.Pam describes every dataset as carrying a fingerprint. She studies that fingerprint by zooming into the structure, the gaps, and the repetition. She looks for missing groups, inflated representation, and subtle distortions baked into the source. She builds this into her workflow because she has seen how quickly a model amplifies the same dominant voices that shaped the data. She brings up real scenarios from her own career where women were labeled as edge cases in models even though they represented half the customer base. These patterns shape everything from product recommendations to retention scores, and she believes many teams never notice because the numbers look clean and objective."Every dataset has a fingerprint. You cannot see it at first glance, but it becomes obvious once you look for who is overrepresented, who is underrepresented, or who is misrepresented."Pam organizes her process into three cycles that marketers can use immediately.The habit works because it forces scrutiny at every stage, not just at kickoff.Before building, trace the data source, the people represented, and the people missing.While building, stress test the system across groups that usually sit at the margins.After launch, monitor outputs with the same rhythm you use for performance analysis.She treats these cycles as an operational discipline. She compares the scale of bias to a compounding effect, since one flawed assumption can multiply into hundreds of outputs within hours. She has seen pressure to ship faster push teams into trusting defaults, which creates the illusion of objectivity even when the system leans heavily toward one group's behavior. She wants marketers to recognize that AI audits function like quality control, and she encourages them to build review rituals that continue as the model learns. She believes this daily maintenance protects teams from subtle drift where the model gradually leans toward the patterns it already prefers.Pam views long term monitoring as the part that matters most. She knows how fast AI systems evolve once real customers interact with them. Bias shifts as new data enters the mix. Entire segments disappear because the model interprets their silence as disengagement. Other segments dominate because they participate more often, which reinforces the skew. Pam advocates for ongoing alerts, periodic evaluations, and cross-functional reviews that bring different perspectives into the monitoring loop. She believes that consistent visibility keeps the model grounded in the full customer base.Key takeaway: You can reduce AI bias by treating audits as part of your standard workflow. Trace the origin of every dataset so you understand who shapes the patterns. Stress test during development so you catch distortions early. Monitor outcomes after launch so you can identify drift before it influences targeting, scoring, and personalization. This rhythm gives you a reliable way to detect biased fingerprints, keep systems accountable, and protect real customers from skewed automation.Why Emotional Intelligence Improves AI Prompting QualityEmotional intelligence shapes how people brief AI, and Pam focuses on the practical details behind that pattern. She sees prompting as a form of direction setting, similar to guiding a creative partner who follows every instruction literally. Women often add richer context because they instinctively think through tone, audience, and subtle cues before giving direction. That depth produces output that carries more human texture and brand alignment, and it reduces the amount of rewriting teams usually do when prompts feel thin.Pam also talks about synthetic empathy and how easily teams misread it. AI can generate warm language, but users often sense a hollow quality once they reread the output. She has seen teams trust the first fluent result because it looks polished on the surface. People with stronger emotional intelligence detect when the writing lacks genuine feeling or when it leans on clichés instead of real understanding. Pam notices this most in content meant for sensitive moments, such as apology emails or customer care messages, where the emotional miss becomes obvious."Prompting is basically briefing the AI, and women are natural context givers. We think about tone and audience and nuance, and that is what makes AI output more human and more aligned with the brand."Pam brings even sharper clarity when she moves into analytics. She observes that many marketers chase the top performer without questioning who drove the behavior. She describes moments where curiosity leads someone to discover that a small, highly engaged audience segment pulled the numbers upward. She sees women interrogating patterns by asking:Who showed upWhy they behaved the way they didWhat made the pattern appear more universal than it isThose questions shift analytics from scoreboar...

Summary This episode of the Boss Business of Surgery Series (episode 208) continues the discussion on expanding emotional capacity, specifically focusing on how other people can help surgeons expand their emotional capacity. The host discusses how surgeons traditionally focus on improving skills and knowledge throughout their careers, but emotional capacity is equally important yet often overlooked. The host explains that emotional capacity refers to one's ability to handle the emotional ups and downs of being a surgeon, particularly the negative emotions that arise from complications or difficult cases. When emotional capacity diminishes, surgeons may compensate by overworking, checking charts repeatedly, or spending excessive time with patients, which reduces efficiency and effectiveness. The speaker outlines several ways that other people can help expand a surgeon's emotional capacity: Finding a community of supportive individuals who provide a grounded, safe presence where surgeons can explore their emotions without judgment. These could be mentors, colleagues, spouses, coaches, or therapists. Looking for role models who demonstrate effective emotional management in similar circumstances, and learning from their approaches. Finding safe spaces to be authentic and vulnerable, which allows surgeons to understand themselves better, including how their weaknesses are often the flip side of their strengths. Seeking people who will appropriately challenge and stretch them, recognizing that expanding capacity for positive emotions also expands capacity for negative ones. Learning when to take breaks and how to properly recover from emotional strain, while addressing underlying thoughts and feelings rather than just removing stressors. Connecting with others who help identify meaning in their work and celebrate wins together through practices like "positivity rounds." Developing self-compassion through mindfulness, recognizing common humanity, and speaking kindly to oneself. The host emphasizes that expanding emotional capacity allows surgeons to feel more deeply, recover faster from setbacks, and stay grounded during intense situations. The episode concludes with an invitation to join the Boss Surgery community, which provides a safe space for surgeons to develop these relationships and expand their emotional capacity. Chapters Introduction to Expanding Emotional Capacity ‎ 00:00:00 The host introduces episode 208 of the Boss Business of Surgery Series, continuing the discussion on expanding emotional capacity with a focus on how other people can help. The host invites listeners to find their community and mentions the opportunity to join bosssurgery.com for 2026 while starting immediately. Skills, Knowledge, and Emotional Capacity in Surgery ‎ 00:01:01 The host explains how surgeons traditionally focus on improving skills (techniques practiced repeatedly) and knowledge (gained through experience and reading). While these improve over time, emotional capacity can diminish, especially after complications that bring up negative feelings like worry, insecurity, guilt, and shame. When emotional capacity diminishes, surgeons often compensate by overworking, checking charts excessively, or spending more time with patients, which reduces efficiency and effectiveness. The Value of Expanded Emotional Capacity ‎ 00:03:36 The host discusses why emotional capacity is important for surgeons, allowing them to manage the big feelings that come with both saving lives and sometimes harming patients. Expanded emotional capacity enables surgeons to feel more deeply (both positive and negative emotions), recover faster from setbacks, and stay grounded during intense situations. The host references previous episodes on lion taming, explaining how staying calm and grounded allows surgeons to provide stable, unhurried, non-judgmental energy to others. Finding People Who Help Expand Emotional Capacity ‎ 00:06:34 The host describes how surgeons can find people who make them feel grounded and safe - mentors, colleagues, spouses, coaches, or therapists. These individuals allow surgeons to explore their emotions without judgment and help them work through difficult thoughts. The host also suggests looking for role models who handle stress and uncertainty with grace, and learning from their approaches. Even online communities can sometimes provide support, though they require sufficient emotional capacity to navigate. Learning from Role Models and Past Self ‎ 00:08:18 The host recommends identifying people who model desired behaviors and emotional management, then learning from their approaches. The host notes that surgeons can also look to their past selves as models, reflecting on what motivated them to become surgeons in the first place (referencing episode 2, "Why We Became Surgeons"). This helps surgeons reconnect with their authentic selves in safe environments where they don't feel defensive or competitive. Understanding Strengths and Weaknesses ‎ 00:10:53 The host explains how coaches help surgeons understand their motivations, strengths, and weaknesses. Importantly, weaknesses are often the flip side of strengths - understanding this connection helps surgeons learn about themselves during times of insecurity or threat. Finding people who help surgeons understand themselves more deeply makes them more individually capable. The Challenge of Stretching Emotional Capacity ‎ 00:12:08 The host discusses how high-achieving surgeons want to feel challenged and be at the leading edge of their capabilities. Using a bell curve analogy, the host explains that expanding capacity for positive emotions (thrilled, challenged, stretched) also expands capacity for negative emotions (shame, intimidation, worry). As surgeons push boundaries, they must develop strategies to recover from discomfort and remember why they chose this challenging path. Managing Breaks and Avoiding Burnout ‎ 00:16:23 The host addresses how to manage when feeling overwhelmed or "fried." Rather than simply quitting or taking a break without addressing underlying issues, surgeons should understand the thoughts and feelings behind their diminished emotional capacity. The host recommends finding moments of control and agency, even small ones, rather than withdrawing from stressors entirely. This might involve seeking perspective from others and creating literal space in one's emotional capacity. Balancing Achievement with Relationships ‎ 00:20:00 The host warns against the "addiction" of trying to be everything for everybody, which prevents surgeons from developing relationships that expand emotional capacity. These relationships form a safety net that catches surgeons when they fall. Without developing relationships with others and with oneself, surgeons chase highs without protection from the inevitable lows. Finding Meaning and Sharing Wins ‎ 00:22:06 The host discusses how others help identify meaning in surgeons' work through supportive conversations and sharing wins. The host recommends "positivity rounds" - actively listening to and recording positive things patients and colleagues say. Many surgeons miss these affirmations because they're caught up in their thoughts, missing opportunities to be reminded of their impact. Self-Compassion and Support Networks ‎ 00:24:03 The host references Krista Neff's concept of "Fierce Self-Compassion," which includes mindfulness (being present with suffering), common humanity (recognizing others feel similarly), and self-kindness. The host describes an advanced concept of using past and future versions of oneself as guides. The episode concludes with encouragement to connect with others, try positivity rounds, reach out for help, and consider joining the Boss Surgery community or seeking coaching. Action Items Host recommends finding a community that helps expand emotional capacity. ‎ 00:00:12 Host suggests visiting bosssurgery.com to join their supportive community. ‎ 00:00:27 Host recommends looking back at previous episodes on overworking as compensation, emotional capacity, prolonged stress cycle, and lion taming. ‎ 00:02:59 Host suggests identifying people who model desired emotional management and asking them about their approach. ‎ 00:08:18 Host recommends practicing "positivity rounds" by writing down positive things people say about you. ‎ 00:28:32 Host suggests reaching out for help when struggling by asking if others feel the same way. ‎ 00:28:49 Host encourages finding someone outside your relationships (like a coach or therapist) who can ask difficult questions without fear of risking the relationship. ‎ 00:29:02 Host invites listeners to reach out directly or visit bosssurgery.com for group or one-on-one coaching. ‎ 00:30:30

Interview mit Stefanie Klein, Leiterin des Netzwerks „Women4Metals", Aurubis AG Frauen stellen die Hälfte der Menschen – aber weit weniger Führungskräfte. Sie sind in viel geringerem Ausmaß in technischen Berufen vertreten. Dabei schlummert hier ein riesiges Potenzial gegen den Fachkräftemangel und für eine bessere, inklusivere, gleichberechtigtere Arbeitswelt. Genetisch gibt es keinen Grund, dass Frauen weniger führen oder weniger technikaffin sein sollten. Die Sozialisierung aber macht hier viel aus.  Die Aurubis AG ist ein führender Multi-Metall-Hersteller mit Werken weltweit. In einer klar männerdominierten Branche wird viel unternommen, um mehr Frauen in technische Berufe und Führungsrollen zu bringen. Stefanie Klein ist Leiterin der Aurubis- Initiative „Women4Metal". Das Netzwerk ist inzwischen auf die Branche ausgeweitet worden und setzt im Unternehmen weltweit Akzente. Ich spreche mit ihr über Role Models, Haltungen und Strategien für mehr Frauen in verantwortlichen Positionen im Unternehmen und für mehr Flexibilität und Lebensphasenorientierung für Frauen wie Männer.    Themen:  Women4Metals: Wie Aurubis Frauen in Technik und Führung gewinnt.  Vorurteile: „Das ist kein Job für Frauen" – wie Haltung abschreckt.  Geht doch: „Mütter sind Managerinnen" – wie Haltung Mut macht.  Facts & Figures: Was nicht messbar ist, kann nicht verändert werden.   Role Models: Was nicht sichtbar ist, kann man sich auch nicht vorstellen.  Andere Länder: Was man von Finnland und Bulgarien lernen kann.  Frauenmangel: Warum „Es bewerben sich ja keine Frauen" nur eine Ausrede ist.  Fürsprecher: Warum Männer als Verbündete so wichtig sind und was Frauen ändern sollten.    Hier zum Linkedin-Profil von Stefanie Klein: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stefanie-klein-b83016187/ Zur Website der Initiative Women4Metals: https://www.aurubis.com/verantwortung/mensch/women4metals

In dieser Folge von Turn Tourismus Around sprechen Maren und Marvin darüber, warum die Stimmen der touristischen Nachwuchskräfte auf Branchenevents so oft fehlen und was das für die Zukunftsfähigkeit der Touristik bedeutet. Sie werfen einen Blick darauf, warum eine reine Teilnahme an bestehenden Events nicht ausreicht, wie echter Austausch auf Augenhöhe entstehen kann und weshalb Role Models in der Branche fehlen. Zudem geht es um die Folgen mangelnder Einbindung: Wenn junge Talente nicht gesehen und gehört werden, wandern sie oft in andere Branchen ab. Dabei wird auch deutlich, welche Verantwortung Unternehmen, Verbände und Veranstalter*innen tragen, wenn sie wirklich wollen, dass die nächste Generation bleibt, und nicht nur als „Deko“ auf Branchenevents wahrgenommen wird.(00:22) Begrüßung von Maren & Marvin (00:49) Wo sind die jungen Menschen auf Branchenevents?(07:39) Mit dem Nachwuchs reden, statt über ihn(08:54) Was es braucht, damit junge Talente Interesse an Branchenevents entwickeln(11:08) Die fehlende Bereitschaft der Branche, den Nachwuchs zu integrieren(15:20) Wie Eventkonzepte generationsübergreifender gestaltet werden können(20:49) Über Werte, Haltung und Role Models(23:19) Warum Vorbilder entscheidend sind: Corporate Influencer als Chance(31:15) Nachwuchs ziehen lassen, um Haltung zu zeigen?(32:44) Wohin junge Talente gehen und warum sie die Branche wechseln(34:14) Bindung durch Erlebnisse statt Slideshows(39:42) Feedbackkultur – was junge Menschen sich wünschen(43:18) Handlungsimpuls: Nachwuchstalente einladen und integrieren(48:56) Abschluss & VerabschiedungHier findest du mehr über uns:https://tourismus-turn.de/https://www.instagram.com/tourismus_turn/https://www.linkedin.com/company/tourismus-turn Erschienen am: 26.

After nearly 400 conversations with Olympians, Paralympians, and trailblazing women athletes from 55 countries, one thing is clear: no two stories are alike. Some athletes train with world-class facilities, others without basic equipment. Some are household names, others are fighting for visibility in sports you've never even seen on TV. And yet, across all these differences, certain themes echo again and again.That's what this new Best Of series is all about: spotlighting both the range of experiences and the threads that connect them. We've pulled together the most powerful moments across years of conversations, including:✨ Best Advice to Younger Selves — from “give yourself grace to be a beginner” to “don't dim your light for anyone.”✨ Best Stories of Resilience — tales of athletes coming back from devastating injuries, near-misses, and moments when the world doubted them most.✨ Best Moments of Role Modelship — athletes lifting the next generation, mentoring teammates, and carrying entire communities with them to the world stage.✨ Best Stories of Identity & Joy — how athletes embrace who they are on and off the field, from glitter on the track to pride in their heritage.…and many more!You'll hear voices as different as the sports they represent, yet together, they reveal what it really takes to rise to the top. This isn't just one story. It's hundreds woven together. And this is just the beginning.In this episode, Role Models V1, Ariana Ramsey (United States, rugby) shares how she uses social media to bring visibility to women's rugby and redefine what “rough” looks like for girls in sport. Jackie Dubrovich (United States, fencing) reflects on being a role model even through losses and helping younger teammates grow. Manasi Joshi (India, para badminton) talks about transforming personal struggle into inspiration for others with disabilities. Shelly Looney (United States, ice hockey) describes building a stronger pipeline for girls to see themselves in the game. Asma Nyang (Senegal, judo) urges women to become the fan base women's sports need. Marzia Hamidi (Afghanistan, taekwondo) tells her story of escaping Taliban rule to keep her Olympic dream alive. Marta Pen Freitas (Portugal, track and field) calls for women to take leadership roles in sport governance.Together, these athletes redefine what it means to be a role model — through resilience, visibility, and purpose.Flame Bearers is a women's sports storytelling studio, illuminating the unsung stories of exceptional women athletes from around the world.

In honor of Veterans Day, Brooke and Chad take a moment to reflect on the powerful influence of role models — both those who have served and those who embody the same spirit of courage, sacrifice, and leadership. Veterans remind us daily of what it means to give selflessly for a greater purpose, and this episode explores how that same strength shows up in our own lives and communities. As SPARK mentors, we're often viewed as role models ourselves, guiding others toward recognizing their own potential and innate resilience. This conversation holds special meaning for us at SPARK, as we also work closely with veterans in our local jail — witnessing firsthand their growth, wisdom, and the strength it takes to rebuild. Join Brooke and Chad as they unpack the connection between veterans, role models, and the deeper understanding of human potential that unites them all.

Retired U.S. Army General Mark Hertling returns for a must-hear conversation with host Paul Rieckhoff (@PaulRieckhoff), just in time for Veterans Day and the Marine Corps birthday.

In this episode, we're thrilled to welcome Sir Gareth Southgate, a renowned figure in English football and a symbol of leadership both on and off the pitch. Gareth is best known for his leadership as manager of the England men's national football team from 2016 to 2024. Under his guidance, the team reached the semi-finals of the 2018 FIFA World Cup, the quarter-finals of the 2022 World Cup, and the finals of UEFA's European Championships in 2020 and 2024. His leadership was marked by his ability to reconnect the team with its fans, instil a sense of pride in representing England, and foster a culture of integrity and respect. Before transitioning to management, Gareth had a distinguished playing career, making over 500 league appearances for clubs like Crystal Palace, Aston Villa, and Middlesbrough. He captained both Aston Villa and Middlesbrough, leading them to League Cup wins and a UEFA Cup final. His leadership as a player was rooted in the values of discipline, hard work, and mutual respect for all members of the team. Gareth's managerial journey began at Middlesbrough before he took charge of the England Under-21s, ultimately stepping into the senior England manager role. He reflects on his early experiences and the leadership lessons learned from those around him, including his youth coach at Crystal Palace, who instilled the importance of discipline and challenge. Gareth also highlights the impact of his time at Aston Villa, where he learned valuable leadership lessons from senior players, who demonstrated generosity and selflessness despite being in competition for a starting role. Throughout the podcast, Gareth talks about the importance of leadership values such as integrity, respect, and treating everyone equally, regardless of their role in the team. He believes in the power of empathy and emotional intelligence, emphasising that being a good leader is not just about making decisions but about understanding the needs and perspectives of those you lead. Gareth also shares how he learned to delegate more effectively as he progressed in his leadership career, recognising that trust in others is essential for a successful team dynamic. He also reflects on the generational challenges facing young leaders today, particularly in terms of social skills like making eye contact and saying good morning. Gareth stresses the importance of empathy and creating an environment where people feel psychologically safe enough to speak up and offer their views. He acknowledges that leadership is an ongoing journey of growth and learning, always striving to improve and adapt to new challenges. In addition to his football career, Gareth is passionate about youth development and resilience. He's an ambassador for the Prince's Trust and a patron of Help for Heroes, working to support young people and veterans. He has also written books, including We Only Do Positive for youth football and Anything is Possible, a motivational guide for young people. Gareth's new book, Dear England: Lessons in Leadership, is set to delve deeper into his leadership journey and the lessons he's learned from his time managing England. This book promises to provide insight into his approach to leadership, the challenges he faced, and how he navigated them to build a winning team. Gareth hopes to inspire readers by sharing the leadership principles that have guided him throughout his career, aiming to encourage the next generation of leaders to trust themselves, embrace failure, and always strive for improvement.

It's great to be back behind the mic once again with a new episode of The Carp Fishing Podcast. Our special guests this month are a carp fishing comedy duo, in fact trying to get the pair of them to be serious for an hour or so wasn't easy but it worked. Jon Miller aka The Swedish Godfather and Jake Bromley aka The Housewife's favourite join me for a good old natter, just like the ones most of us have while sat round a kettle on the bank. Jon especially would have never agreed to come on if it wasn't for Jake's gentle encouragement but I am glad he did as Mr Miller has been around the block. His album is bursting at the seams with big carp yet most of them rarely see the light of day. Jake is also a ninja when it comes to catching big uns so I tried my best to extract some pearls of wisdom along the way. Their humour was infectious but sadly some of the Essex slang was lost on me, they call each other potato, what is that about? We also have the usual dose of mine and Marks ramblings and this month we touch on the subject of content over exposure. Specifically if you're making content without awareness of these issues. We discuss the impact content can have on venues, locations, the fish and discuss a recent film that dropped called "Bon Sens" from the guys at Brakass. This film hit hard recently and without spoiling the discussions it's one to check yourself. Lastly, we have our resident Scandinavian Leney aka The Panther reading his monthly sermon.

In this compelling conversation, I sit down with 21-year-old desister Simon Amaya Price, who identified as transgender from ages 14 to 17. Now serving as Outreach and Events Lead at the LGB Courage Coalition, Simon offers invaluable insights into why young people—especially those with autism—fall into gender ideology.We explore the perfect storm of factors that led to Simon's trans identification: autism, bullying, sexual assault, and false accusations in the wake of the #MeToo movement. Simon shares how his parents' firm boundaries against medicalization, combined with giving him a "long leash" to make mistakes and learn from them, ultimately helped him desist.Our discussion delves into practical strategies for parents, including the "match plus one" social skills framework, body-based distress tolerance techniques, and why allowing kids to experience natural consequences is crucial. Simon challenges the "neurodiversity affirming" approach that keeps autistic kids disabled, advocating instead for teaching real-world skills. We examine how disconnection from the body fuels gender dysphoria and why adventures, cold showers, and physical challenges can reconnect kids to reality. This episode offers hope and concrete tools for families navigating the gender crisis.Simon is a desister, writer, and speaker, fighting gender ideology with classical liberal values. At 14, he came out as transgender but desisted after 3 years. He has written for The Boston Globe, testified on bills nationwide, has spoken in communities across the country, and been featured in the Daily Mail, Boston Herald, and The Daily Signal. Simon now is the Outreach and Events Lead at the LGB Courage Coalition.Simon can be found at:X (Twitter): @SimonAmayaPriceInstagram: @SimonAmayaPriceYouTube: @SimonAmayaPriceWebsite: simonamayaprice.comBooks mentioned in this episode:The Coddling of the American Mind by Jonathan Haidt and Greg Lukianoff[00:00:00] Start & guest introduction[00:02:52] Political Violence and Role Models[00:04:00] The Coddling of American Minds[00:05:00] Finding Normal Male Peers[00:05:41] Charlie Kirk's Impact[00:07:00] Coming Out as Bisexual[00:08:00] Sexual Assault and False Accusations[00:10:09] Why Accusations Fueled Trans Identity[00:11:18] Parents Unaware of Trauma[00:12:49] How Boys Learn About Female Power[00:14:46] Rejection and False Allegations[00:16:28] Young Men's Dating Fears[00:18:00] Male Coping Strategies[00:20:37] Conservative vs Liberal Dating Success[00:21:41] Parent Coaching Advice[00:23:07] What My Parents Did Right[00:26:00] Making Mistakes Builds Character[00:27:00] Adventures and Neuroplasticity[00:28:01] Natural Consequences Build Identity[00:31:32] Learning Through Experience[00:33:30] Complaining as Communication[00:34:30] Inconvenience vs Challenge vs Trauma[00:37:00] The Long Leash Double Bind[00:39:00] Life Skills Prevent Trans Identity[00:40:26] Social Skills Algorithm[00:41:47] Match Plus One Framework[00:43:00] Life Skills Get You Out[00:44:05] Working Hard on Social Fluidity[00:45:00] Neurodiversity Affirming Care Problems[00:47:23] Therapists Who Only Validate[00:49:00] Tools for Autistic Teens[00:51:00] Frameworks for Social Understanding[00:54:00] Mental Health Energy Landscapes[00:56:00] Reflective Listening for Rumination[00:58:03] Body-Based Distress Tolerance[01:02:00] Concrete Goals in Therapy[01:04:00] Breaking Down Big Goals[01:07:00] Modeling Coping Strategies[01:09:08] Ice Cube Self-Harm Prevention[01:11:00] Embodied Experiences Matter[01:14:00] Ancient Vedic Psychology[01:16:00] Looking Inwards vs Ruminating[01:18:30] Trauma Separates Mind from Body[01:19:41] Growing Into Your Body[01:22:00] Losing Connection at Puberty[01:24:00] From Appearance to Function[01:25:17] Adult Personality Development[01:27:00] Presenting Yourself Authentically[01:28:02] Breaking Down Big Tasks[01:30:00] Health Signals and Attractiveness[01:31:00] Queer Theory vs Reality[01:33:00] Theory of Mind and Autism[01:33:39] Standpoint Epistemology Problems[01:35:45] Understanding Historical Atrocities[01:37:05] Street Conversations with Opposition[01:39:00] Charlie Kirk Abortion Discussion[01:40:30] Building Empathy Across Difference[01:41:56] Starting with Agreement[01:43:38] Closing and Contact InformationROGD REPAIR Course + Community gives concerned parents instant access to over 120 lessons providing the psychological insights and communication tools you need to get through to your kid.

Research from Sport NZ finds more than half of young people say spending time with family and friends is their top reason for being active - and those kids who like being active with whanau are more likely to meet recommended guidelines for physical activity. Scott MacKenzie is the play manager at Sport New Zealand talks with Kathryn about raising active kids. Go to this episode on rnz.co.nz for more details

In one of the most emotional and powerful episodes of Domestic Dad: Cleaning Up the Mess, host Nick Barnett sits down with Jason Comer, a husband, father of five, and living testimony of how God's grace can turn devastation into destiny.   Jason's life is a raw reflection of brokenness, rebellion, incarceration, relapse, forgiveness, and divine restoration. This episode traces his complete journey—from a troubled childhood and early substance use, to meth addiction, prison, family separation, and the miraculous road back to sobriety, faith, and fatherhood.   Through tears, laughter, and hard truths, Jason opens up about what it means to be a man redeemed. He shares how Hope City Church, mentorship, and a community of believers gave him the spiritual and emotional tools he never had growing up. His story reveals the brutal reality of addiction—but more importantly, the beauty of God's redemption story when we finally stop running.   This is more than a story about getting sober. It's a story about becoming whole, about how God can take the pieces of a shattered life and build something new—something strong enough to lead a family, raise kids with love, and inspire others to believe that no matter how dark the pit, there is always a way out.   If you're a parent fighting your own battles, a man seeking purpose, or someone walking through the ashes of addiction or shame—this episode will meet you right where you are.   ⸻

Welcome to Hot Topics! In this episode, host Gabrielle Crichlow and guest Vincent Bioseh continue their important discussion from Part 1, tackling the critical issue of the scarcity of Christian content for children and the subtle programming that influences young minds. With the rise of indoctrination in various media, it is crucial for parents—especially Christian ones—to actively monitor what their kids watch on TV and the internet.Gabrielle and Vincent emphasize the need to guide children according to the teachings of Proverbs 22:6, which says, "Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it." This highlights the importance of teaching kids the right values from a young age.Throughout their conversation, they stress the value of having open talks with kids about their experiences, helping them handle social pressures and moral challenges with confidence. They also suggest using educational resources like Christian cartoons and videos to teach complex yet important lessons in an engaging way.Additionally, they discuss how parents should set a good example for their children. This helps kids build their own personal relationship with God, encouraging them to find their unique connection to faith rather than just following what their parents believe.Join us for this insightful continuation of their conversation, as they share practical advice on how to raise children with strong values in a media-filled world.Who is Vincent Bioseh?Vincent Bioseh is a passionate podcast host, author, and dedicated Christian leader committed to sharing the Gospel and equipping believers to fulfill their God-given purpose.

As a survivor of abuse who can we look up to for role models?This is a problem for survivors because there are so few positive portrayals of survivors in media.Often survivors are either victims or perpetrators, but they aren't represented positively.As survivors of abuse the way we can change this is by being a role model ourselves and talking about what happened to us and how we are getting through it.By doing that we can be the role model that other survivors can look up to and get inspiration from.It's up to all of us. We can be the inspiration.No Longer Ashamed FBbolgerkevin15@gmail.com

What does it mean to be a woman today? Our culture has turned this into a debate, but for many young women—especially in Christian homes and schools—the real struggle comes in sorting through competing voices, conflicting priorities, and a lack of clear role models.In this episode of BaseCamp Live, Davies sits down with his daughter, Hannah Owens, founder of The Swish Magazine. Drawing from her own classical Christian upbringing, Hannah shares how she came face-to-face with the confusion around womanhood in her Gen Z college years and why she's now committed to recovering a vision of classical femininity—the preservation and reflection of truth, goodness, and beauty in womanhood.Together they discuss:Why Gen Z women often prioritize career over marriage and family—and what that reveals about cultural messaging.The gap between “pioneer bonnets” and modern feminism—and why girls need something more rooted and hopeful in between.How role models, from Princess Catherine to contemporary Christian entrepreneurs, can embody duty, beauty, and service.Practical ways parents and schools can guide daughters toward confident, Christ-centered womanhood.From family photo walls to auditing media habits, Hannah offers tangible steps to help reframe femininity not as performance, but as calling. This is a conversation for parents, educators, and young women alike who long to celebrate the true, good, and beautiful in a culture that has lost its way.Special Thanks to our partners who make BaseCamp Live possible:The Herzog FoundationThe Champion GroupZipCastWilson Hill AcademyLife Architects Coaching Stay tuned for more enlightening discussions on classical Christian education, and join us next time on BaseCamp Live!

Not everyone instinctively knows when they've reached the point in life where they're ready for kids. For Nick Hexum, the self-proclaimed “dad” of his band 311, that moment came when he realized his wild days were behind him and he was ready to step into family life as a husband and father. Nearly two decades later, he's a proud dad of three daughters, ages 5 to 16. We caught up with him for a rare in-person conversation during a tour stop in Portsmouth, New Hampshire. Nick opens up about the challenges and rewards of raising kids while touring, the jaw-dropping story of delivering his own daughter during a home birth, how fatherhood reshaped his songwriting, and the powerful influence his own upbringing has had on the way he parents today.Episode 130 of Modern Dadhood finds the guys recording in person, outside, over a frosty fall beverage. The guys chat briefly about finding positivity in a world that can feel particularly dark at present, and why the autumn has a certain exciting energy. They catch up with Nick Hexum, lead singer and songwriter for 311, before a gig promoting his 3 new americana/bluegrass EPs (compiled on a full length album called Phases of Hope and Hollow). Nick candidly shares stories about his family and his career as a touring musician, reflecting on how becoming a dad has impacted his work and put his life into perspective.

When Isaiah wrote "Truth has stumbled in the public squares" (Is. 59:14), he could just as well have been describing our day. Dennis and Barbara Rainey discuss the importance of training kids to recognize, appreciate, and love the truth.Barbara and Dennis Rainey tackle a question facing so many Christian families: how do we teach our children to love and stand for the truth in a world full of shifting values and competing ideas? Barbara shares insights from her own parenting journey—including the challenges of finding engaging material for kids of different ages—and explains why stories, especially those rooted in history and faith, are so powerful for passing down unchanging truths.Together, the Raineys reflect on our culture's drift toward relativism and the importance of grounding kids in the absolute standards found in Scripture. You'll hear why instilling a love for truth goes far beyond simple lessons about honesty, and discover the enduring role that family storytelling can play in shaping character and courage for generations to come. Stay tuned for practical encouragement and a preview of inspiring real-life stories that illuminate the hope and freedom found in living by the truth.00:00 Inspirational Family Storybooks05:37 "Passing Faith Through Storytelling"07:21 Stories About Truth for Families11:42 "I Am" Statements Poster Calendar13:25 "Dying Father's Words Revealed"

Emily Duggan's story is a perfect example of why it's important to share the stories of women in sport.When Emily was a little girl, she was watching TV one weekend and came across the Supercar motor racing series here in Australia and was instantly hooked.However Emily, in that moment, also realised there were no women racing and thought it was a “boy's sport” and put it to the back of her mind (as the saying goes, “you can't be what you can't see”).Thankfully the voice that whispered to Emily that day never disappeared and as soon as she started working, she began saving for her first racing car - and hasn't looked back since.In 2016, Emily became the 1st female driver to race in the V8 Touring Car Series here in Australia and now in 2019 is racing in the Super3 series (which is the 3rd tier in the Supercar series here).And sometime soon, I know we'll see Emily line up on the start of the iconic Bathurst 1000 race (a race I've promised to watch, for the first time ever, when she does!).Emily shares her story with me on Sparta Chicks Radio this week.
