When Tanya Golesic took the helm of Mackage in July 2021, she inherited a Canadian brand with extraordinary product and almost no story. "The minute you put the product on, you wouldn't want to take the product off," Golesic tells Ken. "But it was lacking a brand story. It was lacking storytelling." Four years and a record-breaking 2025 later, the former Jimmy Choo president has transformed a down-outerwear specialist into a global luxury lifestyle brand—stretching price points to $3,500, balancing the men's-women's split, and betting on the Croatia national team at the World Cup. This is a masterclass in brand building from someone who learned the craft at Ralph Lauren, Marc Jacobs, Canada Goose, and LVMH.In this episode of The Retail Pilot, Ken sits down with Tanya Golesic, CEO of Mackage, to trace her journey from a Croatian immigrant family in Canada to the top of global luxury fashion, and to unpack how she's scaling Mackage beyond its outerwear roots. This is a conversation about craftsmanship, curation, building inside a private-equity-backed startup, and why fashion has more in common with sports than most people think.In this episode you'll learn:How Tanya went from a Croatian immigrant family in Canada to leadership at Ralph Lauren, Marc Jacobs, LVMH, Canada Goose, and Jimmy ChooWhy she turned down Mackage the first time—and how a "six-and-a-half-year interview" led her to the CEO roleThe "aesthetics that protect" brand ethos: why Mackage product must be fashionable, functional, and technical all at onceHow Mackage shifted from 50% heavyweight down to a 12-month lifestyle business spanning leather, cashmere, ready-to-wear, and rainwearWhy 2025 was a record year with double-digit growth—and how launching a real spring collection unlocked itThe logo strategy: segmenting between a "quiet luxury" customer and a streetwear customer with flexible brandingHow she stretched price points from $850–$1,200 up to $3,500 without raising prices across the boardThe wholesale discipline: applying the 80/20 rule and pulling back doors to focus on top-tier accountsMackage's global retail expansion across Canada, the US, Paris, Japan, China, and Korea—and when to use partners vs. going in-houseDon't forget to subscribe to The Retail Pilot podcast for more conversations with retail industry leaders and visionaries shaping the future of commerce.If you missed our last episode, where Pete Nordstrom unpacks the eight-year journey to go private, the strategic partnership with Liverpool that made it possible, and what's actually changed since May 2025, be sure to tune in.Connect with Ken:-Follow Ken Pilot Ventures on LinkedIn, Instagram, and YouTube. Hosted on Ausha.

Text us with topic or guest suggestions!How cool would it be to be able to hop around the world doing stints as a sub? To get a taste of a school/city/country without the longer-term commitment? To travel light and scratch that itch for adventure? These are some of the aspects of international substitute teaching that have long appealed to me. However, we've learned through interviewing Nadine Tyro of the True Teaching Flying Squad that the process is not as straightforward as I may once have thought.True Teaching was born from Nadine's lifetime (40+ years) of international education experience, gained while living and working across the Pacific, Asia, Middle East, and Europe. This venture allows her to stay connected with the international school sector and use her deep knowledge to help new educators navigate the complex smorgasbord of global education offerings.As a New Zealander, Nadine began her journey teaching K-6 students at Kerevat International School in Papua New Guinea in the 1980s. Her international career then took her to Jakarta Intercultural School in Indonesia and Vienna International School in Austria.A major highlight was serving as the Founding Director of Concordia International School in Bangkok, Thailand, at the turn of the century. This demanding role established a bespoke learning environment that delivered the IB frameworks in English, Mandarin, and Thai.Nadine then moved to the UAE, where she headed a school in Sharjah and later spearheaded a high school educator upskilling project with the Abu Dhabi Education Council (ADEC). After a stint in business development for a London-based recruitment agency, she founded her own agency, True Teaching, in 2013.The True Teaching Flying Squad database connects experienced educators with long-term and short-term placements. The agency invoices schools upon a successful match, ensuring educators are never charged for registration or services. Nadine believes her extensive career provides the critical level of 'handholding' and reality needed for teachers considering their first move overseas. She has been blessed with the life she has led and now it's time to give back.Our guiding question for this show was: “How does one go about getting a long term subbing gig at an international school?”Some of the topics covered include:How much interest there is in international long term subbingWhat the most common needs are that drive the demand for long-term substitutes in international schoolsKey professional and personal characteristics that make a teacher an ideal candidate for a long-term international subbing roleThe contractual "nuts and bolts" (visas, housing, flight reimbursement, salary, health insurance) for a long-term substitute positionsSome of the positives and negatives that candidates need to be aware of in subbing internationallyWhat long term subbing offers international educators pivoting from full-time teachingNadine's advice to an internationally experienced teacher or administrator considering their first long-term substitute positionResources Mentioned in the Episode: True Teaching: register for recruiting services or for long-term subbing with the Flying Squad databaseConnect with Nadine on LinkedInThis episode was recorded on October 30, 2025.Categories: Long Term Subbing | Recruiting | School Life | Travel | Finances Support the showRemember to access our Educators Going Global website for more information and consider joining our Patreon community at patreon/educatorsgoingglobal!Email us with comments or suggestions at educatorsgoingglobal@gmail.com Follow us on LinkedIn, Facebook,  Instagram or YouTube.Listen on your favorite podcast app: connect from our share page.Music: YouTube.

http://www.sherylkline.com/blogThe (anonymous) behind the scenes data is from dozens of my coaching calls with female executives and rising leaders about what they are most concerned about and what is pushing them to the brink.What I am hearing (combined with what the newest research is confirming) is that most organizations are operating on two significant myths.Getting clear on both of them is where the real work begins.The first myth: Saying ‘yes' is best.When a team member is excited or a role goes unfilled, rising female leaders are often the ones who absorb the gap… The result is a compounding weight that has nothing to do with capability and everything to do with boundaries that were never clearly set. The solution here is twofold. Rising female leaders can develop the confidence and the language to have explicit, direct conversations with their managers about what they can or cannot take on and what will pull them away from what's expected in their current roleThe second myth: Women leave for family reasons. The research is now telling us clearly that this is not the primary driver. The far more significant reason is that rising female leaders are being recruited elsewhere (by organizations that are making them feel seen, recognized, and valued) because in their current roles, they cannot see a path forward.A large piece of the visibility gap comes down to a dynamic that plays out in rooms, meetings, and conversations every single day. Male counterparts, on average, are more vocal about what they are working on, what they have accomplished, and what they want next. They advocate for themselves as a matter of course. Many rising female leaders, by contrast, are deflecting credit to their teams, waiting to be noticed which rarely delivers the outcomes you want and deserve.This is not a character flaw. It is a gap in a specific, learnable skill set: how to document impact, how to speak about your accomplishments with confidence and without apology, and how to make bold asks... for sponsorships, for stretch assignments, for a real and explicit conversation about what lies ahead. When rising female leaders learn to do this well, everything shifts.What Makes the Biggest Impact?Peer support and executive coaching can help reduce female leader exits, especially by improving resilience, confidence, and decision-making under pressure.The strongest results come when coaching is paired with real organizational support, like flexible work, sponsorship, and clear advancement paths.Peer groups help women leaders feel less isolated and give them a place to problem-solve shared challenges.Coaching is most useful for burnout, boundary-setting, and navigating difficult leadership dynamics.It will not fix turnover on its own; retention improves most when companies also change the culture and systems driving women out.Watch my video for a more in-depth perspective: https://www.sherylkline.com/blog/rising-female-leaders-are-leaving-here-s-what-the-data-is-actually-saying-and-how-to-fix-itThe good news in all of this is that there is a proven process. One that is community-based, practical, and built around exactly the skills that close these gaps. Whether you are a rising leader who is ready to stop waiting and start advocating for yourself, or an organization that is serious about keeping the women you have invested in, I'd love to help you to help them. Let's chat about it!Cheering you on always.- Sheryl

Send us Fan MailTom Scott is the CEO of Wrike, the work management platform trusted by over 20,000 customers including Walmart Canada and Sony Pictures Television, across more than 140 countries and nearly 2 million end users.Tom's path to the CEO seat is anything but conventional. He spent over 20 years leading finance and operations across some of the most hardware-intensive sectors in tech, from building cell towers to running finance at Zebra Technologies and autonomous robotics company Fetch Robotics, before joining Wrike as CFO and transitioning to CEO in July 2023.In this episode, Tom draws on that rare vantage point (having led through multiple waves of technological disruption) to make a case that the leaders and companies that treat organizational intelligence as a combination of human judgment and AI capability, rather than a replacement of one by the other, are the ones building something that lasts.In this conversation, we discuss:Why transformation remains stubbornly hard in the AI era, and what leaders consistently underestimate about the real blockers to changeWhy the biggest career risk today is not AI itself, but the decision to stop moving up the value stack of your current roleThe two words Tom's customers and team use most to describe the current moment: pace and noise, and what that means for leaders trying to drive transformation.How Tom coaches his leadership team to hire for intensity and ownership over domain expertise, and why that philosophy matters more now than everWhy a deterministic career plan is no longer a viable strategy, and what curiosity and experience-chasing actually look like as professional operating principlesWhat Tom believes will be table stakes in the workplace well before 2031, and why the building blocks are already visible todayExplore this conversation:00:00 Intro and Fun Fact04:08 Scaling Work Management with Tom Scott, CEO of Wrike 04:47 From Cell Towers to the CEO Seat at Wrike 05:51 How Wrike Helps Teams Connect and Accelerate Work 10:21 The Hardest Part of Transitioning to the CEO Role 14:13 Wrike's Origins: Building Scalability for Complex Workflows 17:04 Managing Pace and Noise During AI Transformations 21:20 Why True Organizational Intelligence Requires Human Judgment 25:54 Embracing Technology to Move Up the Value Stack 28:11 Why Curiosity Outweighs a Deterministic Career Plan 31:25 Hiring Empowered Teams: Selecting for Ownership and Intensity 34:31 The Future of Work: When Agentic AI Becomes Table Stakes 36:32 Where to Connect with Tom Scott and Wrike Resources:Subscribe to the AI & The Future of Work NewsletterConnect with Thomas on LinkedInAI fun fact articleOn How Decentralized Intelligence and Data Precision Are Reshaping the Future of AI

Prolapse should be simple… right?Strengthen the pelvic floor, support the organs, and move on.Except that's not what actually happens.In this episode, we break down why prolapse is one of the most complex conditions we treat — and why so many clinicians feel stuck.We cover:Why prolapse is often taught incorrectly from the beginningThe disconnect between symptoms and anatomical findings Why you can't “Kegel your way out” of structural defectsHow the nervous system, identity, and fear all play a roleThe impact of hormones, birth trauma, and connective tissueAnd why prolapse is really a multi-system condition, not just a pelvic floor issueThis isn't about doing more.It's about understanding the full picture — and knowing when pelvic PT is just one piece of the solution.Want to Go Deeper?  PelviCon SymposiumThis is exactly why we created the PelviCon Prolapse Symposium — bringing together PTs, surgeons, researchers, and mental health experts to actually connect all the dots.

Hiring the right people. With more than four decades of experience in recruiting and coaching, Steve breaks down why most hiring processes fail and how relying on resumes, gut instinct, or surface level interviews leads to costly mistakes.

From there, we explore how this same awareness forms the true foundation of trumpet playing—something often ignored in pursuit of technique and range.

Finally, we highlight the life and legacy of Conrad Gozzo, one of the most recorded trumpet players in history.5 Highlights:Breath awareness as the starting point of all trumpet playingWhy most players overlook air despite its central roleThe connection between breathing and musical intentionInsights from Nathaniel Mayfield on sound and approachConrad Gozzo's legacy as a dominant studio trumpeterPrecision.

What does it really take to walk into a new purchasing leadership role and make it work?Not the strategy deck. Not the org chart. The real work: the people, the data, the relationships, and the hard lessons learned along the way.In this episode, Jan Griffiths and co-host Tom Roberts sit down with Marty Rathsburg, newly appointed Head of Purchasing at the Gemini Group, a tier one and tier two automotive supplier with 17 locations across North America. Marty brings decades of experience in operations, purchasing, quality, and private equity. But this episode isn't about what he's done before. It's about what he's doing right now and what he's learning in real time.One of the challenges Marty ran into? The ERP. Gemini operates on a single ERP platform across all 17 locations, which sounds like an advantage until you realize every plant has customized it differently. Job shops, serial production, different commodity codes, and different supplier codes for the same vendor. The data is there. Getting it to mean something is another challenge entirely. It's a problem that plays out across the industry every day, and it's exactly the kind of execution gap that the right technology and the right systems of action are designed to close.This is Episode 1 of a two-part journey. We're bringing Marty back in six months to find out how it actually went.Themes Discussed in This EpisodeWhy do people come before strategy in any new leadership roleThe myth of "one ERP" and why it doesn't solve your data problemHow to prioritize suppliers when everything feels urgentStakeholder alignment: building credibility without the egoWhat vulnerability looks like in a purchasing leadership roleThe courage to call out your own misstepsFeatured GuestName: Marty RathsburgTitle: Head of Purchasing, Gemini GroupAbout: Marty is a transformation-focused operations and procurement leader known for bringing clarity to complex challenges.

He works closely with automotive and industrial manufacturers to close the gap between insight and execution, helping leaders move from visibility to systems of action that drive real operational outcomes.Mentioned in the Episode:Tony Trecapelli, CEO of Gemini Group, on the Automotive Leaders PodcastEpisode Highlights[00:01:22] The Real Challenge of a New Role: Jan sets the stage: stepping into a purchasing and supply chain role is not about strategy on paper. The real challenge is deciding what to focus on first amid complexity.[00:02:47] Why Marty Chose Gemini Group: Marty shares what drew him to Gemini, rooted in firsthand experience working with them as a supplier and seeing their culture in action.[00:04:59] Start with People, Not Process: Marty's first move: sit down with every buyer, listen, take notes, and understand the human dynamics before making any changes.[00:07:01] One ERP, Many Realities: Despite having a single ERP across the organization, inconsistencies and plant-level differences require deep validation and gut-checking of data.[00:09:11] The Danger of Silo Optimization: Jan calls out a common industry issue: optimizing at the plant level at the expense of enterprise-wide visibility. The mindset must shift to the full ecosystem.[00:12:59] Prioritizing Suppliers Beyond Spend: Marty explains how prioritization goes beyond spend, factoring in risk, single sourcing, and future growth. A four-hour car ride with a plant manager becomes a strategic turning point.[00:14:51] Building Stakeholder Alignment Through Action: Alignment is not achieved in meetings. It is built through listening, collaboration, and solving problems together. Walking in with all the answers is the fastest way to lose trust.[00:18:17] Three Principles for New Leaders: Marty's advice: build relationships first, be relentless about understanding the data, and stay focused on outcomes while adapting the path to get there.Top Quotes[00:07:01] Marty Rathsburg: “You can't make decisions without the data, right? And you can't make effective decisions without the data… it's like playing with a deck of cards with half the cards there.”[00:09:11] Jan Griffiths: “We can no longer optimize for some, either a silo or a plant. We can't do that anymore. We have to think of the bigger ecosystem.”[00:16:21] Marty Rathsburg: “Be vulnerable, and then gain that trust, really moves it along quickly. And I think that is my main mode of operation when I'm trying to build these relationships.”[00:17:29] Marty Rathsburg: “Don't expect you're gonna take a hundred percent of the right steps… I've gotten comfortable with being uncomfortable, but call it out…”[00:15:54] Tom Roberts: “You have to have those to start having those relationships, breaking down barriers.”Don't Miss the Follow-UpMarty Rathsburg is coming back in six months.

This week Mitch Bach sits down with VoiceMap founder Iain Manley to explore the future of storytelling in travel, from his perspective as a journalist and developer of a self-guided audio tour app powered by human creators. We dive into the power of personal perspective and the new risks of playing it safe with stale, objective facts but no humanity.

*Listen to the Show notes and podcast transcript with this multi-language player. Summary This conversation explores God's work in forming not isolated individuals, but a corporate people—a family and a royal priesthood. Through devastation, humility, and submission, God is bringing forth a purified company that exists not for personal gain, recognition, or ministry ambition, but to minister to the Lord Himself. The family emphasize that devastation is not meaningless suffering but a divine process that strips away self-interest and prepares God's people to walk as sons, worshipers, and priests. This priesthood is not defined by position or title, but by a spiritual state of being—one that fulfills God's eternal purpose revealed from the foundation of the world. Show Notes God is shifting from individual ministry emphasis to acorporate, family expressionTeaching and ministry flow through thebody, not a single voiceEach believer carries a different aspect of what the Spirit is speakingDevastation humbles the heart and removes pride and self-ambitionGod is raising acompany, not elevating personalitiesWorship is offering ourselves fully to God as living sacrificesPriesthood is aspiritual state, not an individual roleThe motivation of walking with God changes from “what I get” to “what God gets”God is forming a people for His own possessionSons of God walk in the earth as Christ walkedTrue priesthood is formed through submission, not recognitionGod is the potter; we are the clay Key Quotes “The teaching priest is coming through the family, through the body—not one person.”“There is a greater purity in the company God is raising up rather than individuals.”“Devastation is a prelude to the priesthood.”“The motivation of walking with God changes when it's no longer about us.”“God is creating a people for His own possession.”“

Send us a textFeeling successful on paper but disconnected from your work at mid-career? You are not alone. In this episode, I sit down with Mitch Matthews, success coach and host of the Dream Think Do podcast, to unpack what real career change looks like when you stop waiting for permission and start creating it yourself.We talk candidly about that moment when you are busy, accomplished, and respected, yet no longer energized by the work you are doing. Mitch shares a powerful personal story about accepting a promotion that looked perfect on paper but felt wrong almost immediately. Instead of making a reckless leap, he honored his responsibilities while quietly building a new path through small, intentional experiments.This conversation is especially relevant if you are a mid-career professional seeking greater career clarity, questioning what is next, or feeling stuck in a job that no longer fits. We explore how progress does not require a dramatic exit or a master plan. It requires permission, curiosity, and consistent action.In this episode, you will learn:Why permission at mid-career is an internal decision, not something granted by a boss or organizationHow small, low-risk experiments can help you test new career directions without blowing up your current roleThe 15-minute rule and how five short blocks a week can compound into more than 60 hours of focused progress each yearWhy the safest place to explore new ideas is often outside the high-stakes environment of your day jobWhat it looks like to lead without having all the answers and why saying “I don't know, let's figure it out together” builds trustHow to use AI as a practical thinking partner instead of a buzzword or replacement for judgmentWhy automation is increasing the value of authenticity, clarity, and human leadershipHow to spot perfectionism when it is disguising itself as procrastinationWhy starting small and messy creates more durable career change than waiting for the perfect planMitch is also sharing his free training, Finding Time for Your Next Chapter, designed to help you carve out focused time for what matters most in this stage of your career.Access it at mitchmathews.com/time and use coupon code GPS for free access.Connect with Mitch MatthewsWebsite | LinkedIn | Support the showVisit https://johnneral.com/resources to: Subscribe to my free leadership and career newsletter Get The Mid-Career Clarity Code to help you figure out whatever is next for you and your career Please leave a rating and review on Apple Podcasts here.

What if coming off psychiatric medication didn't have to be terrifying?In this episode of The Holistic Psychiatrist Podcast, Alice W. Lee, MD, speaks with Amanda, who shares her experience of withdrawing from three psychiatric medications (Lamictal, Wellbutrin, and Levothyroxine) — smoothly, safely, and easily — after being medicated for most of her life.Amanda (38 y.o.) had been on psychiatric medications since her early teens, following the loss of her grandmother and years of emotional experiences that were misunderstood and medicalized. Over 25 years, she was prescribed numerous antidepressants, mood stabilizers, and stimulants, alongside navigating addiction, misdiagnosis, and deep self-doubt.In this candid conversation, Amanda reflects on:Why her most recent withdrawal experience was radically differentHow belief, self-responsibility, and boundaries played a roleThe impact of grief, trauma, and identity on mental healthWhy addressing root causes matters more than managing symptomsThe importance of practitioner trust and mindsetWhat long-term recovery (including sobriety and self-work) made possibleThis episode is not medical advice, nor a promise of identical outcomes — but it is an invitation to rethink what healing can look like when approached holistically, thoughtfully, and with deep respect for the individual.If you or someone you love feels stuck, fearful, or unsure about what's possible beyond medication, this conversation offers grounded hope, clarity, and perspective.Support the showTo sustain my work as a holistic psychiatrist and support my efforts to improve psychiatric treatment for all through my podcasts, articles, website, and YouTube channel, please show your appreciation and help champion holistic psychiatry by clicking HERE to contribute!Click here to listen to all of The Holistic Psychiatrist Podcast episodesContact here to email Dr. Lee directly.

Dom, Q, and ILL from Say Whats Reel dive into the 2005 remake of The Amityville Horror!

Sudan's collapse isn't a natural disaster — it's a deliberate act of imperial design.For decades, Washington has waged economic warfare and proxy conflicts to dismantle Sudan's sovereignty. Now, with Israel and the UAE leading the charge, Sudan is being stripped of its gold, oil, and independence under the banner of “stability.”In this episode, Mnar Adley exposes how U.S. policy, Israeli intelligence, and Emirati financing have turned Sudan into a war laboratory — and why its destruction is central to the West's war on the Axis of Resistance and China's Belt and Road Initiative.From the famine in Darfur to the blood gold flowing to Dubai, this is the architecture of U.S. imperialism at work — and a warning to every nation daring to defy it.Guests:Mnar Adley — Founder and director of MintPress News, host of Behind The HeadlinesAlan MacLeod — Senior Staff Writer and producer at MintPress NewsTopics Covered:U.S. sanctions and the deliberate destabilization of SudanIsrael and the UAE's proxy war roleThe theft of Sudan's gold and control of Red Sea portsWashington's strategy against China, Russia, and Iran in AfricaThe humanitarian façade behind imperial wars

In this episode of Passing Judgment, Jessica Levinson unpacks the legal issues behind Jimmy Kimmel's temporary show suspension. She explains the distinction between private action by ABC and possible government coercion from the FCC or the President, outlining why the First Amendment generally protects speech from government—not private—actions. Jessica also discusses the limited circumstances under which the FCC could revoke broadcast licenses and what this case means for free speech and media organizations moving forward.Here are three key takeaways you don't want to miss:1. The Suspension and Return of Jimmy Kimmel's ShowJessica Levinson opens the episode by explaining the sequence of events around Jimmy Kimmel's temporary suspension from ABC after a controversial comment in his monologue. She emphasizes that although he has now been returned to air, the legal issues discussed still remain relevant.2. The Role and Limits of the First AmendmentA central theme is clarifying what the First Amendment protects. Jessica explains that the First Amendment limits government action against speech, not actions taken by private entities like ABC. If ABC alone had suspended Kimmel with no government involvement, it would not be a First Amendment issue.3. Government Involvement and the FCC's RoleThe episode explores concerns about potential government overreach, specifically whether statements made by the FCC chair or the President could constitute government coercion. Jessica details how, if the government pressures a private company to take action against someone's speech, First Amendment concerns are triggered.Follow Our Host: @LevinsonJessica
