Podcasts about roles

So much can change in a single year. Plans shift. Roles change. What once felt significant may suddenly feel empty. In this episode, we unpack a downward stretch, the holy tension where God begins redefining what truly matters.We talk about community and unity, success versus significance, and the realization that survival and achievement alone will never satisfy the soul. When “it's not working” anymore and we're tired of just keeping our head above water, God often invites us to surrender, not strive.Through Scripture, reflection, and honest evaluation, we explore what it means to live a life that outlasts us. From Moses the murderer to Moses the leader… from David the shepherd to David the king—God is not afraid of changing our plans when it leads to purpose.This episode challenges you to examine:    •    What you're building professionally, personally, physically, mentally, and spiritually    •    Who is shaping your life?    •    Where your trust truly lies when God changes the planBecause things will not outlast us, but faith will.And in the end, one thing remains.

Episode 369 of RevolutionZ has Miguel Guevara questioning Lydia Lawrence about her journey from the Sixties to RPS. After anger and solidarity fuel a movement's start what decides whether it survives? Lydia Lawrence—feminist, organizer, media worker, and the first shadow government president of RPS—tells of her journey from sixties militancy, through doldrums, to sustained revolutionary engagement. Her recounting begins with a poem-like charge sheet against injustice, but quickly pivots to the practices that kept early RPS victories from unspooling. Treat oppression as a web, not a queue; change roles, not just leaders; speak plainly, share skills, and build structures that match our values.Miguel elicits from Lydia a revelatory mid-west factory story. Workers seized their plant. Councils rose and wages leveled. Spirit soared. Yet before too long passed, hierarchy crept back. Spirits crashed. The culprit wasn't human nature. It was an unbroken corporate division of labor. A small group accumulated knowledge, access and confidence from newly doing empowering tasks while most returned to repetitive, debilitating tasks. Voice, influence and then even income stratified as much much of the old order reassembled itself. Out with the old boss, the owner. In with a new boss who Lydia calls Coordinators. Lydia lays out how class, race, gender, and polity entangle across home, school, workplace, media, and law—and why single-issue wins erode when unaltered institutions push back. She describes the cultural suicide of “ghosting” in movements and the coordinator class habit of hiding power behind jargon. Solidarity requires attention, not performance.The discussion moves from Sander's valuable sparks and Trump's odious fear to the necessity of building bridges without diluting justice for women, Black and Brown communities, LGBTQ+ people, and working-class men alike. Since oppression is an entangled network, strategy must be systemic. Lydia discusses her conversion to emphasizing balanced roles, open information, participatory decision-making, and a language everyone can own. Do Lydia's reports of her path to joining sustained, effective revolutionary activism resonate with you? Are the lessons she reveals relevant to our times and circumstances? Concluding this episode's presentation of the sixteenth chapter from The Wind Cries Freedom, is a closing meditation on fiction as oral history—stories that test ideas and invite you to refine them.

When children grow up with emotionally immature parents, they don't just experience emotional neglect — they adapt. In Episode 2 of 6 in the Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents series, we explore the survival roles many children unconsciously take on to stay connected, safe, or unseen in emotionally immature family systems. These roles are not personality traits — they are coping strategies. And many of them continue shaping our relationships, boundaries, and self-worth well into adulthood. In this episode, we discuss: The responsible child who grew up too fast The invisible child who learned not to need much The peacekeeper who managed everyone else's emotions The rebel who expressed what the family couldn't tolerate Why many adults identify with more than one role Common misconceptions about childhood roles Why understanding these patterns matters for adult healing This episode isn't about blaming parents — it's about understanding the emotional environment you adapted to, so you can begin responding differently now.

Nic and Tarina are nearly ready for Christmas—especially Tarina, who loves both receiving and giving presents. Nic shares about his latest return trip home and how he got a splinter from a Starbucks stir stick. And they shout out to Chris who loves the podcast.In this episode, they talk about conflict: the difference between venting and complaining. Venting is relieving pressure—getting something off your chest. Complaining is expecting a fix. Conflict happens is when someone is venting and we think they are complaining or the opposite.When you complain it is because you want something fixed. Tarina often complains—like about how her computer isn't working right. When you vent it's because you want to be heard. Nic often vents—he just needs to Tarina listen about the ache in his shoulder.Together they discover that Nic is more people focused and Tarina is more task focused. This influences how they each approach venting versus complaining. Tarina wants things fixed and Nic will listen to discover.As Nic and Tarina wisely observe our job is to listen without judgment. This doesn't erase tension in the moment but can lead to better and more caring resolutions.If you enjoy Nic and Tarina's podcast and get something from listening to “all this Nic Bittle Crap,” please hit the like button, share it with a friend, or both.

Since its inception, accesso's virtual queuing has saved more than 4.5 billion minutes of wait time, freeing guests to pack their day with more rides, eats, and excitement. The result? Happier guests who spend more and a better bottom line for you. Ready to turn waits into wins? Visit accesso.com/ROIClinic. The queues are virtual. The results are real. Kim Welch is the founder of Welcome Hub. After growing up as an attractions fan, she started at Enchanted Forest Water Safari, learning front gate ticketing, retail, food, and games. She later moved to Orlando, spent years in entertainment at Universal Orlando, then shifted into IT and digital ticketing, becoming a subject matter expert working with marketing and operations. Roles at Universal, Gateway Ticketing Systems, and SSA Group led her to launch Welcome Hub to reimagine how tickets are delivered. In this interview, Kim talks about making digital ticketing better, tickets as a pre-show, and creating unboxing moments. Making digital ticketing better “That's what making it better is all about, is how do we take some of these burdens off of our guests and give them the options they need to make their visit even easier…” For Kim, “better” means removing friction for both guests and teams. She recalls buying tickets at a kiosk, then photographing each printed ticket just to share them with her family because there was no flexible digital option. When guests must invent workarounds like this, the system is failing them. Behind the scenes, she notes, teams juggle separate setups for PDFs, Apple Wallet, Google Wallet, and event tickets, often updating the same content in multiple places. This complexity pushes organizations to scale back branded content even though that weakens the experience. Kim's answer is a unified delivery layer like Welcome Hub that pulls ticket data via APIs and centralizes links, wallets, and messaging so information stays accurate and guest-friendly. Tickets as a pre-show “Coming from entertainment, I have a bit of a flair for the dramatic theatrical. So I always think of the tickets as the pre-show.” Drawing on her entertainment background, Kim argues that tickets should be treated as part of the show, not just a barcode. Just as a pre-show sets story and context, ticket communications can orient guests, answer key questions, and build anticipation long before arrival. She points out that operators invest heavily in onboarding staff, yet rarely design equally thoughtful onboarding for guests. Kim suggests enhancing confirmation emails and ticket pages with brand voice, clear “need-to-know” information, and links that adapt over time. Simple improvements, like structured data that lets email platforms surface trip details, can help guests find what they need quickly. Even small, incremental changes can transform ticketing from a dry transaction into a stage-setting moment. Creating unboxing moments “Why aren't we doing this for attractions that spend multi-millions of dollars on beautiful themed physical spaces? They don't have these other tangible moments pre-visit.” Kim believes attractions are overlooking powerful “unboxing” opportunities. Guests might spend thousands of dollars on a vacation yet receive nothing more than a plain confirmation email or generic ticket. She compares this to retailers and credit card brands that design packaging specifically to be unboxed and shared. She imagines destinations sending pre-visit kits or postcards that tease dining, merchandise, and stories, paired with digital content and QR codes. These touchpoints help guests visualize their spend, plan their visit, and feel excited well before they arrive. Kim also notes that when attractions do not create these moments, influencers and third parties fill the gap with messaging that may not align with the brand.   Kim can be reached via email at Kim@welcomehub.org, and more information about her work and Welcome Hub can be found at welcomehub.org, where she shares a manifesto on guest-centric ticketing. She is also active on LinkedIn, and encourages industry professionals to connect, share ideas, and explore small, incremental steps that make digital ticketing and pre-visit engagement better for both guests and operators.

SummaryChris Ford, Lead Designer at Refine Labs, shares how creative professionals can harness AI without compromising artistic integrity. Speaking to an audience navigating the rapid shift toward automation in design and marketing, Ford clarifies that tools like Midjourney and Runway are accelerators—not replacements—for real strategic thinking. His journey from teen coder to strategic designer reveals the mindset shift creatives must adopt to thrive in a performance-driven, AI-infused landscape. This episode demystifies AI's impact on modern B2B marketing workflows while reinforcing the value of human empathy, nuance, and storytelling.Topics CoveredAI as a creative partner in modern B2B marketingCreative strategy in a performance-first demand gen environmentHow Refine Labs designers adapt AI for speed, not shortcutsBrand storytelling vs. AI outputCreative autonomy and process efficiencyFree and paid AI tools for image and motion designNavigating the psychological shift toward automationThe future of human creativity in AI-saturated workflowsStrategic experimentation and creative boundariesQuestions This Video Helps AnswerHow are B2B creatives using AI tools like Midjourney and Runway today?What's the right mindset for using AI in design without losing creative control?Where should human creativity draw the line with AI-generated content?What tools help accelerate creative workflows without sacrificing originality?How should creatives adapt to AI without fearing job replacement?What is the future of creative work in AI-augmented environments?Jobs, Roles, and Responsibilities MentionedGraphic DesignerCreative StrategistPerformance MarketerContent CreatorVisual DesignerCopywriterMarketing TechnologistBrand StrategistAI Prompt Engineer (implied role)Key TakeawaysAI accelerates design iteration but doesn't replace creative judgment or empathy.Tools like Midjourney, Runway, and ChatGPT help visualize concepts quickly and reduce time spent on repetitive tasks.Refine Labs designers use AI to test ideas faster, not to generate final creative without human input.The "line" of AI involvement depends on complexity, originality, and personal creative ethics.Being strategic with experimentation ensures AI enhances—rather than dilutes—brand quality.The coming shift isn't AI vs. humans, but AI with humans who adapt and lead.FAQWhat AI tools does Chris Ford use most in his creative workflow?Midjourney for image generation, Runway for animation, and ChatGPT for ideation and refining language.Is AI replacing creative jobs in B2B marketing?Not directly. Ford explains that AI requires human oversight and strategy, making creatives who adapt more valuable—not obsolete.How does Refine Labs integrate AI in its design process?By using AI to accelerate idea generation and reduce manual work, while keeping creative direction and brand storytelling in human hands.Are there free AI tools creatives can explore?Yes. Midjourney offers a limited free trial, and tools like Google Gemini are free. Search “AI tools” with “free” in quotes to discover more.What's the biggest creative challenge when using AI?Time lost on prompt engineering and editing outputs.

Both these verses refer to children whom Abraham fathered, but his relationship to the two groups was very different. Verse six refers to the "sons of his concubine." These were six sons whom Abraham conceived in his old age with a woman named Keturah. When they reached a certain age he gave them enough to live on and sent them away. It appears he was their biological father, but invested little as their spiritual, emotional or educational father. Verse nine names Isaac and Ishmael and calls them "his sons," meaning that they were children Abraham personally love and nurtured. Being a real father requires much more than just conceiving a baby; it requires an enormous personal investment in the development of a child. In this episode we'll look at four roles to which a father is called (if he is to be a real father to his children).

In today's Daily Shift, we explore the roles many of us learned to play in order to feel emotionally safe. When our environment didn't allow space for our feelings, we adapted. Some of us became the responsible one, the peacekeeper, the invisible one, the high achiever, or the rebel. These roles weren't personality traits — they were protection. This short episode invites gentle awareness around the patterns you may still carry today, without blame or judgment. Noticing the role you slip into can create space for choice, flexibility, and emotional freedom. In this episode, you'll reflect on: The survival roles children often adopt Why these roles develop in emotionally unsafe environments How these patterns can continue into adulthood How awareness helps create new choices

Think cancel culture is new? The Catholic Church invented it in the Middle Ages.Being burned at the stake was the ultimate deplatforming.

He's been considered one for years - but last month Sir Sam Neill was officially designated a Screen Legend. The honour marking his stellar fifty year career was handed out at the New Zealand Screen Awards and followed his Logie for 'Best Lead Actor' in the series The Twelve at the Australian TV awards in August. From Sleeping Dogs and Reilly, Ace of Spies.... to Jurassic Park, Hunt for the Wilderpeople, The Tudors....his CV is a veritable chocolate box of roles from which fans can pick their favourites. When he's not filming, the Central Otago resident can be found on his Two Paddocks farm and vineyard surrounded by his celebrity-named animals. Most recently Sir Sam has been outspoken in his opposition to plans to fast-track a goldmine in the local Bendigo area. Kathryn speaks to him about his concerns about that project, his latest screen honours and what he can detail about his upcoming projects.

Natalia Curusi: Demonstrating Your Value When the Market Questions Agile Roles Read the full Show Notes and search through the world's largest audio library on Agile and Scrum directly on the Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast website: http://bit.ly/SMTP_ShowNotes.   "My challenging topic is about the demand of agility in the market—how do we fit ourselves as scrum masters in that AI era? How can we demonstrate our competence and contribution when there's a perception that agile roles bring little value?" - Natalia Curusi   Natalia faces the challenge every Scrum Master in 2025 grapples with: how to demonstrate value in an era when business perceives agile roles as optional overhead. The market has contracted, companies are optimizing budgets, and Scrum Masters often appear first on the chopping block.  There's talk of "blended roles" where developers are expected to absorb Scrum Master responsibilities, and questions about how AI might replace the human facilitation work that coaches provide. But Natalia believes the answer lies in understanding something fundamental: the Scrum Master is a deeply situational and contextual role that adapts to what the team needs each day.  Some teams need help with communication spaces, others need work structure like Kanban boards, still others need translation between technical realities and stakeholder expectations. The challenge is that this situational nature makes it incredibly hard to explain to business leaders who think in fixed job descriptions and measurable outputs. Natalia's approach involves bringing metrics—not velocity, which focuses on the wrong things, but metrics around team independence, continuous improvement, and organizational capability. She suggests concepts like Gemba walks—going to see what's actually happening rather than relying only on numbers. The real question Natalia poses is this: the biggest value we can bring to an organization is to leave it better than we found it, but how do we make that visible and tangible to business stakeholders who need justification for our roles?   Self-reflection Question: If you had to demonstrate your value as a Scrum Master using only observable evidence from the past month, what would you show your leadership?   [The Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast Recommends]

Do you feel like the same family conflicts keep resurfacing—no matter how many times you “deal with them”?What if the problem isn't the conflict… but the drama patterns you're unknowingly participating in?In this episode of the Extraordinary Family Life Podcast, Greg and Rachel break down the drama triangle—a destructive cycle made up of three familiar roles: victim, rescuer, and persecutor. These roles keep families stuck in emotional reactivity, resentment, and zero real resolution.Here's the truth most parents never hear: you can face conflict head-on without making it dramatic.Stepping out of drama doesn't mean avoiding problems, disengaging, or “letting things slide.” It means learning how to handle disagreement with clarity, courage, and love—so issues actually get resolved instead of endlessly repeated.In this conversation, you'll learn:Why drama is not the same thing as conflict—and how to tell the differenceThe three roles that silently keep family arguments loopingHow one conscious person can interrupt the entire patternThe exact three steps to exit the drama triangle—starting immediatelyHow to shift from victim → creator, rescuer → coach, and persecutor → challengerWhy inner work and emotional awareness are essential to peaceful parentingHow these tools don't just change today's arguments—but transform family legaciesIf you're exhausted from emotional blowups, silent treatments, or constantly playing referee, this episode offers a practical, empowering path forward—one that leads to real resolution, stronger relationships, and a calmer family culture.Key Takeaways✅ Drama is optional—even when conflict is unavoidable.✅ The drama triangle keeps families stuck without resolution.✅ You only need one person to change the pattern.✅ Stopping your automatic reaction is the first powerful step.✅ Awareness creates choice—and choice creates change.✅ Creator, coach, and challenger roles lead to lasting solutions.✅ Inner work is the gateway to calmer, more effective parenting.Memorable Quotes

The wish came true.Now the consequences begin.Natalie Primavera is trapped in a hospital bed, her body broken, her future uncertain — while her mind is stuck inside Ava Ross, a dancer who was never supposed to be good enough for the spotlight.Ava, meanwhile, is living inside Natalie's perfect body… and discovering that perfection is a prison with great lighting.As Nutcracker rehearsals intensify, the magic destabilizes. Roles are threatened. Loyalties fracture. The Sugar Plum Fairy becomes a battleground. And the line between ambition and identity starts to blur.Friendships turn sharp. Parents get complicated. Romance gets messy. And a Romanian ballet master with secrets of his own begins pushing both girls toward a reckoning neither of them is ready for.Act Two is where the comedy deepens, the stakes rise, and the story stops being about switching bodies — and starts being about who deserves the life they're fighting for.Because wanting something badly doesn't mean you understand the cost.It's still funny.It's still chaotic.But now it hurts in the best way.Written by award-winning writer Jenna St. John.Starring: Kensington Tallman as Natalie Primavera Logan Laurel as Ava Ross Konstantin Lavysh as Mr. Constantine Carson Bolde as Grayson Garcia Sasha Knight as Trevor Rita Dos Santos as Kenzie Samantha A.

Watch the YouTube version of this episode HEREAre you a firm owner looking for ways to integrate AI into your business? In this episode of the Maximum Lawyer Podcast, Richard interviews Hamid Kohan, founder of Law Practice AI, about the rapid impact of AI and technology on law firm operations. Hamid introduces his three-part power model and discusses how these elements are transforming legal staffing, operations, and profitability. Hamid shares his three-part power model and how it can change hiring for firms. The model includes ⅓ local staff, ⅓ virtual staff and ⅓ AI. Including some of each can really transform a law firm and allow operations and staffing to benefit from aspects that might seem very different. Virtual staff can cut down your costs and AI can allow you to figure out ways to take some work away from busy local staff and simplify it.There are areas of a firm that would thrive using AI. AI can supplement what is going on and shift people into more customer facing roles where they are helping clients. Roles like legal assistance, document collections and document summaries can benefit from the use of AI. These do not really require much human interaction, so these areas can be streamlined and made to work in a way to benefit a firm.Listen to learn more!2:12 Defining the three part power model 4:29 The vision for an AI law firm operating system13:13 Reasons for the law field's slow tech adoption 40:12 Advice to start new AI-driven law firms 46:58 Areas of a firm that would thrive using AITune in to today's episode and checkout the full show notes here. Connect with Hamid:Website Instagram  FacebookTikTok Linkedin Youtube Resources:Join the Guild MembershipSubscribe to the Maximum Lawyer Youtube ChannelFollow us on InstagramJoin the Facebook GroupFollow the Facebook PageFollow us on LinkedIn

Uncertainty has become the norm at work. Markets shift. Culture is shaky. Roles change mid-stride. And yet, many organizations are still trying to plan for the future using old assumptions that no longer hold. In today's environment, the question isn't how to create stability — it's how to build a talent strategy that can adapt when the ground keeps moving. My special guest today is Steve Cadigan, and he's simplifying how to build a talent strategy that thrives in uncertainty. Steve is known for challenging traditional workforce planning and helping leaders rethink how they attract, develop, and retain talent in a world where adaptability matters more than predictability. Here's how. My special guest today is Steve Cadigan and he's simplifying how to build a talent strategy that thrives in uncertainty.  We tackle and simplify all aspects of it, including: What a resilient talent strategy actually looks like today — and why agile, scenario-based thinking is replacing traditional workforce planning. Why stability is no longer the goal, and how leaders can build cultures where uncertainty becomes an advantage instead of a threat. Which "old world" recruiting and retention practices organizations should stop using immediately — and what should replace them. How leaders can help their people grow when roles and skill needs are changing faster than ever. …and ultimately, one piece of advice for HR and business leaders navigating the volatile talent market ahead. Q: Are you ready to learn how to build a talent strategy that thrives in uncertainty? If yes, this one is for you.

This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE! Across America's haunted history, certain female figures appear again and again — not just as ghosts, but as cultural echoes. The Witch. The Bride. The Mother. The Jezebel. The Fallen Woman. The Maiden. The Spinster. More than archetypes, these specters act as a kind of psychic mirror, revealing the fears, desires, and expectations that have shaped women's lives for generations. In this episode, we explore how these recurring identities operate almost like a form of mediumship themselves, channeling deeper truths about the shifting social roles of women in the United States. Though their stories differ in class, background, circumstance, and era, each leaves behind a legacy powerful enough to outlive them — a presence that continues to fascinate, unsettle, and haunt. Their legends endure not only because they once lived, but because they still speak to the shadows society avoids. These spirits remind us that the past is never as silent as we pretend… and that some narratives refuse to stay buried. This is Part Two of our conversation. #TheGraveTalks #HauntedHistory #FemaleArchetypes #WomenInFolklore #AmericanGhostStories #ParanormalResearch #HauntedLegends #CulturalFolklore #SupernaturalHistory #GhostlyNarratives    Love real ghost stories?

Zach sits down with Kristan and Brook Seaford, a couple whose marriage was transformed overnight when Kristan contracted a rare and catastrophic infection in 2013. What began as strep throat and the flu quickly escalated into pneumonia, sepsis, organ failure, septic shock, and ultimately the loss of both hands, one foot, and part of the other—a 108-day medical ordeal across six hospitals that changed her life and their family forever. But what unfolds in this interview is not just a medical story—it's a relationship story. Kristan describes the grief of returning home to a toddler who no longer recognized her, the ache of losing the physical abilities that once defined her identity, and the spiritual shift from fierce independence to complete dependence on God. Brook shares his own transformation as the family's roles flipped overnight—learning to parent five children, run a home he once took for granted, and support a partner rebuilding her life. Together, Kristan and Brook talk about humor as survival, forgiveness as practice, community as a lifeline, and the unexpected gifts that emerged from unimaginable loss. They explore how their affection, partnership, and independence have evolved, how they've adapted to enjoy life together in new ways, and how their children have grown stronger, more empathetic, and more capable because of what their family lived through. Kristan now speaks publicly about resilience, faith, and healing—and this conversation demonstrates the courage and compassion at the heart of her work. Key Takeaways A medical miracle and a marital transformation – Kristan survived sepsis and organ failure, losing limbs but gaining a deeper sense of gratitude, faith, and purpose. Roles reversed overnight – Brook shifted from traditional breadwinner to full-time caregiver and household manager, discovering new respect for the invisible labor of parenting and home life.
