In this episode of Innovation Meets Leadership, host Natalie Born sits down with Clifton Dickens, a seasoned information security leader with over 30 years of experience spanning cybersecurity, IT audit, governance, and organizational leadership. This conversation goes beyond technology to explore how leadership mindset, diversity of thought, and healthy conflict directly impact innovation, decision-making, and long-term organizational resilience.Clifton challenges leaders to rethink how teams are built, how processes are designed, and why discomfort is often a signal—not a threat.

In this episode of Innovation Meets Leadership, host Natalie Born sits down with executive coach, former diplomat, and author Rene Sonneveld for a powerful conversation about leadership, innovation, and the unseen forces that shape both.Rene explores why innovation doesn't begin with strategy decks or brainstorm sessions—but with the courage to name what everyone feels and no one is saying. From family enterprises to executive teams, he explains how unspoken fears, emotional blind spots, and “elephants in the room” quietly block creativity and decision-making. This episode is a must-listen for leaders navigating complexity, legacy, and high-stakes conversations—at work and at home.[00:00 – 02:30] Innovation Begins Where Certainty EndsWhy innovation often emerges from confusion, fear, and discomfort—not clarity.Rene's global experience working with leaders and enterprise families.The link between emotional honesty and transformational leadership.[02:31 – 05:50] The Elephant in the Family RoomWhat leaders lose when they avoid naming the real issue.How trapped energy and unspoken tension collapse creativity.Why this dynamic shows up in families, boards, and executive teams alike.[05:51 – 09:40] Leaders Don't Have Decision Problems—They Have Emotion-Naming ProblemsHow fear hijacks the nervous system and shuts down innovation.Fight, flight, or freeze responses in leadership settings.Why regulation—not fearlessness—creates better decisions.[09:41 – 13:30] “Flipping the Lid” and the Amygdala HijackHow psychological threats trigger reactive leadership behavior.Why leaders say “the wrong thing” under pressure.The importance of pausing, breathing, and naming emotions to restore clarity.[13:31 – 16:40] Naming Fear as the Gateway to BreakthroughWhy innovation cannot thrive in environments of fear or walking on eggshells.How truth-telling frees energy and reactivates creativity.A real-world example of long-stuck family dynamics unlocking new possibilities.[16:41 – 19:20] Authenticity, Messiness, and Modern LeadershipWhy authenticity is becoming increasingly rare.The cost of performative leadership—especially in the age of social media.Why innovation flourishes when leaders allow complexity and humanity.[19:21 – 22:50] Stories, Identity, and the Lids We Put on OurselvesHow internal narratives limit leadership capacity.Why the lies we believe quietly cap innovation.Reframing leadership as presence, not perfection.[22:51 – 25:10] Ecosystems That Support InnovationWhy environment matters—at work and at home.The connection between place, pace, and creative capacity.Designing a life and leadership context that allows innovation to breathe.[25:11 – 27:40] Final Reflections: Innovation as a PracticeWhy innovation is not a performance—but a daily practice.Rene's parting message on courage, imagination, and trust.How naming truth transforms fear into possibility.Quotes“Innovation doesn't start with what we put on paper. It starts with naming the things we are most afraid to say.” – Rene Sonneveld“Most leaders don't have decision-making problems—they have emotion-naming problems.” – Rene Sonneveld“Naming isn't confrontation. Naming is liberation.” – Rene SonneveldGuest LinksWebsite: https://www.renesonneveld.com/Book: The Elephant in the Family Room – Managing the Complexities of Legacy BusinessIf this conversation sparked something in you, trust that spark—because innovation starts there.Leave a review and share this episode with a leader who needs the courage to name what's been left unsaid.

In the quest for better water quality, farmers and city residents share a vital common goal: protecting our shared water resources by managing runoff. Host Jamie Duininck speaks with Ann Zawistoski and Sophie Wicklund of the Adopt-a-Drain program to draw a direct line between agricultural and urban water management practices. Just as farmers use practices like buffer strips, bioreactors, and controlled drainage to minimize nutrient loss, our “city cousins" clean their local storm drains to prevent urban pollutants like leaves and debris from entering waterways.Adopt-a-Drain empowers the public to take responsibility for stormwater management, recognizing that urban stormwater runoff is a major source of water pollution. The program encourages residents to adopt a storm drain near their home and clean it just twice a month. This simple, hands-on approach transforms the public's understanding of their impact on the watershed, leading to broader behavioral changes. The collective results prove the power of individual action, with over 30,000 adopted drains and nearly one million pounds of debris removed across the country. Tune in to discover the powerful parallels between urban and agricultural water quality practices and how community engagement is successfully working toward clean water for everyone.Chapters:00:00 Introduction00:36 Adopt-a-Drain Guest Introductions01:57 The Urban Stormwater Challenge04:00 How the Adopt-a-Drain Program Works05:40 Nearly 1 Million Pounds of Debris Removed06:35 Behavior Change07:50 Adopt-a-Drain's Origins and Inspiration10:52 Why Small, Frequent Cleanings Make a Big Difference13:56 Engaging Participants Year-Round15:53 Funding and Partnerships19:42 The Parallels to Ag Water Management25:39 Expanding the MovementRelated Content:#138 | Set It & Forget It...

AI, Demographic Shifts, and the Fourth Turning—How to Thrive in the Storm   "If you knew the world was about to change forever… would you brace for impact or learn to ride the wave?" We're living in a moment of seismic transformation: AI is rewriting the rules of work, demographics are reshaping economies, and the Fourth Turning is challenging every institution we once trusted. Yet most people are frozen—clinging to outdated maps while the landscape beneath them crumbles. This episode isn't about fear—it's about clarity. Because history doesn't repeat, but it does rhyme. And if you learn to hear the rhythm, you can move with it, not against it.   The transformation isn't about technology—it's about agency. You don't need to predict every future trend. You need to become the kind of person who can adapt faster than the world changes. This episode will help you shift from being a passive observer of change to an active participant in shaping it. When you stop resisting the wave and start riding it, you don't just survive—you gain freedom.   4 Pillar-Aligned Takeaways:  [Wealth] The End of "Set It and Forget It": Globalization is fracturing, inflation is real, and AI is upending industries. The era of blind trust in systems is over—you must design your own financial playbook. [Purpose] From Survival to Significance: If AI could give you all the money you'd ever need, what would still get you out of bed? That question will anchor you when the old ways of working no longer apply. [Health] Resilience Is the New Currency: Mental and physical strength aren't optional—they are your first line of defense against uncertainty. Without health, you can't ride the wave. [Time] Choosing the Lead Domino: In a world of infinite noise, focus is freedom. Master one skill or habit at a time to build compound momentum.   Money Learning: "Abundance starts when you stop needing the outcome." The biggest money shift in this episode is learning to see wealth not as a finish line but as a tool. Your financial choices aren't about “winning” the game—they're about creating optionality in a world that won't stop changing.   About Rocky: Rocky Lalvani serves as Chief Profitability Adviser for business owners. He teaches them how to ensure they get paid and make profit a priority! As a certified Profit First Professional, he implements Mike Michalowicz's Profit First System.  We change the accounting formula of Sales - Expenses = Profit to Sales - Profit = Expenses.  This ensures Profit comes first! (PS. It's not about money at all costs, people come before money!) Rocky started with nothing when his parents immigrated to the United States when he was two years old, and his parents were in their 40's. It was his parents' second time starting over in life as they moved here to experience the American dream. Despite a lot of struggles and his mom passing away when Rocky was 7, he has achieved financial and life success. Rocky loves to share his journey and inspire others to achieve their dreams even faster.   Links: Websites: http://richersoul.com/ https://profitcomesfirst.com/ Social Media acct: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/rocky-lalvani/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/richersoul Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/richer.soul/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/rockylalvani   Key Discussion Points:  Why the Fourth Turning is a societal “winter” before renewal. How AI will erase some jobs while creating room for higher-value human work. The collapse of globalization and the rise of local, regional economies. The critical role of energy, demographics, and self-sufficiency in shaping the next decade. Why health and mindset are your greatest competitive advantages. A simple framework for turning volatility into freedom: agency, focus, and alignment.   "If the next decade tears down everything familiar… who do you want to become in the rebuilding?"   #RicherSoul #AIShift #FourthTurning #InnerWealth #AlignedLiving #PurposeDrivenLife #MidlifeClarity #MindsetReset #HolisticWealth   Watch the full episode on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@richersoul Richer Soul Life Beyond Money.

In today's post, Bruce and I (Rachel Marshall) want to bring you behind the scenes of a candid and educational conversation we had with Matt Ewald, Vice President of Life Insurance at Advisors Excel. If you've ever wondered when and why to use guaranteed universal life insurance (GUL) —especially in the context of estate planning—this one is for you. We've been having more and more conversations with families who aren't just thinking about how to grow their wealth—but how to keep it intact for the next generation. And when estate taxes enter the picture, the stakes change. It's not just about protecting income anymore—it's about protecting impact. About making sure what you've built doesn't get lost in fees, confusion, or government claims. Because when it comes to life insurance in the context of wealth transfer, you're not just planning for protection—you're planning for legacy. Let's get into it. Why This Conversation MattersFrom Infinite Banking to Estate Strategy: A Shift in FocusGuaranteed Universal Life insurance 101: What It Is (and Isn't)Estate Planning and the Tax ConversationThe Myth of “Set It and Forget It”What About Accessing Capital?Roth Conversions, IRA Taxes, and Legislative RiskThe Real Value: Peace of Mind, Not Just Rate of ReturnWhat We CoveredBook A Strategy Call Why This Conversation Matters If you're like most of our clients, you're already successful. You've created wealth, you've stewarded well—and now you're asking deeper questions. Questions like: How do I pass on what I've built with intention? How do I shield my estate from unnecessary taxation? Is whole life the only tool for this? Or is there something else I should consider? In this blog, we're breaking down exactly what guaranteed universal life insurance is, how it's different from traditional IULs and whole life, and why it could be a strategic piece in your legacy plan. From Infinite Banking to Estate Strategy: A Shift in Focus We spend a lot of time on this podcast talking about whole life and its power as a privatized banking system—a way to store capital, access liquidity, and fund your life on your own terms. But not every financial goal calls for cash accumulation. Sometimes, the goal isn't to use the money during your lifetime at all. It's to transfer wealth efficiently, minimize estate taxes, and ensure your heirs receive more—without the friction and loss. And that's where guaranteed universal life enters the scene. Guaranteed Universal Life insurance 101: What It Is (and Isn't) Matt Ewald described guaranteed universal life insurance as a permanent term contract. That phrase stuck with me. Here's what it means: GUL is designed to give you the most death benefit for the least premium. Unlike cash-rich whole life or traditional IULs used for banking or income, GUL is a protection-first strategy. The focus is not on growing cash inside the policy. The focus is on locking in a death benefit that will be there guaranteed—no matter what the market does. And what makes it guaranteed? The no-lapse guarantee rider. This rider is the linchpin. It says, “As long as you pay the premium exactly as illustrated, this policy will not lapse—no matter how the underlying market indexes perform, no matter what cap rates change, no matter what happens behind the scenes.” It's simple. It's predictable. And it's ideal for estate planning when death benefit certainty is the priority. Estate Planning and the Tax Conversation Here's the reality we're facing: The estate tax exemption today is high—around $13 million per person. But it won't stay there forever. Just 20 years ago, it was $1 million. And the political winds are already shifting toward reducing the exemption again. That means more families will face estate tax exposure in the future—even those who don't consider themselves “ultra-wealthy.” And taxes at death are not just a theoretical prob...

Let me start with a story that highlights the problem with financial planning today. A colleague of mine works diligently as a financial advisor, and he schedules days to meet with employees about their 401(k)s. He's prepared to offer invaluable advice, set up one-on-one meetings, and answer pressing questions. Yet, out of 50 employees, only four show up. https://www.youtube.com/live/i4NH3UgbDlU Why? The truth is, many people don't take ownership of their financial future. We're bombarded with information from YouTube videos, TikTok influencers, or even well-meaning friends, but when it comes time to sit down and make decisions, we hesitate. Too many of us leave our future to chance or to others without truly understanding the options available to us. The result? Missed opportunities and financial stress. Shifting Your Financial ParadigmUnderstanding The Problem with Financial PlanningThe Risks of Deferring TaxesThe Myth of "Set It and Forget It" InvestmentsThe Power of Financial EducationExploring Alternative Financial StrategiesWhy Rethinking Financial Planning MattersTake Control Today Shifting Your Financial Paradigm Today I want to talk about a concept that might be unfamiliar to you—rethinking how you approach financial planning. Most people stick to the typical paths because it's comfortable. We invest in 401(k)s, we defer taxes, and we hope everything works out when retirement rolls around. But here's the hard truth: the problem with financial planning lies in its limited scope. It often relies on outdated assumptions, overlooks the impact of taxes and inflation, and can leave you vulnerable to market fluctuations. What we're offering in this blog is a new lens to view your financial journey, one that empowers you to make more informed, strategic decisions that truly align with your goals. If you want to take your financial life to the next level, you're in the right place. Understanding The Problem with Financial Planning What most people call financial planning is often limited to a narrow set of strategies: employer-sponsored retirement accounts, stock market investments, and savings. These options seem like safe bets—after all, they've been recommended for decades. But the problem with financial planning in this typical model is that it ignores key risks, like market downturns, future tax hikes, and the hidden costs of inflation. Typical financial planning often revolves around making predictions about things you can't control. You're asked to guess your future income, how long you'll live, and what kind of returns you'll see in the market. While this may work for some, the reality is that building a financial plan on assumptions can create a shaky foundation. Consider this: many financial advisors lean heavily on historical data, like the belief that the stock market averages a 7% return. But those averages span over a century. Your investing timeline might only be 30 years, and within that period, the market could behave very differently. You might face prolonged periods of low or even negative returns that derail your entire plan. The problem with financial planning here is that it assumes a one-size-fits-all approach. The Risks of Deferring Taxes One of the biggest misconceptions in typical financial planning is the idea that deferring taxes through 401(k)s and IRAs is the best way to minimize your tax burden. The thinking goes like this: defer taxes now when you're in a higher bracket and pay them later when you're in a lower one. However, this strategy ignores a critical factor—the potential for future tax increases. As we often discuss, the U.S. debt is skyrocketing, and at some point, those taxes will have to go up to pay for it. So, while you may think you're saving by deferring taxes today, you could be setting yourself up for a larger tax bill down the road when you need the money the most. This is yet another angle of the problem with financial planning th...

She covers the following key points: - Design Your Dream Morning Routine: Envision an ideal morning routine without time constraints, considering activities that ignite energy and align with personal goals. - Develop a Baseline Morning Routine: Determine the time available for your morning routine and prioritize activities accordingly. Even short routines can yield significant benefits. - Prepare in Advance: Visualize the morning routine before bedtime to set intentions and align the mind with upcoming activities. Use strategies like going to bed earlier, removing distractions like phones, and finding an accountability partner to keep you on track. - Set It in Motion: Initiate your morning routine without delay; you'll be surprised at how empowering it feels to take action. Start immediately rather than procrastinating for the "perfect" moment. - Refine and Repeat: Do your routine consistently but remain flexible and adapt it when necessary, this will make it sustainable in the long run.

https://youtu.be/MMRTbeIBUTk Dara Rosenbaum is the founding partner of Rosenbaum & Taylor, a boutique law firm specializing in the high-quality legal representation of businesses throughout New York. We discuss the "Set It and Forget It" management blueprint, what to do when people underestimate you, and how to handle power imbalances in a negotiation. --- Create A Piece Of Mind Legal Framework With Dara Rosenbaum In this episode, our guest is Dara Rosenbaum, the Founding Partner of Rosenbaum & Taylor, a boutique law firm specializing in the high-quality legal representation of businesses throughout New York. They're offering personalized solutions, including litigations, contract drafting, review and negotiation, business disputes and insurance coverage. Dara, welcome to the show. Thank you so much, Steve. It's a pleasure to be here. It's great to have you. I love professional services firms and talking to leaders of such firms because you have unique challenges of growing and being dependent on people. I'm also always curious about how these professional services get formed. Let's start with your entrepreneurial journey. What prompted you to find your law firm in a hyper-competitive market such as New York? It's a competitive market. There are crazy people. Way back in 2002, Scott hired me. He and I are working together at another firm. He was a partner there for many years and I was his associate on a team of associates. We worked together for about ten years. He'd been at the firm for 28 years. I worked there for 10 years. Within our little world, we always joked about, "If this was Rosenbaum & Taylor, we wouldn't have to deal with the politics of a larger firm. We could do this if it was Rosenbaum & Taylor. If it was Rosenbaum & Taylor, we could do it our way." It has always been the joking name of the firm. We worked at a firm with a total of 30 attorneys. Things get to a certain size and there's nothing wrong with being larger. When things get to a certain size, you get certain power dynamics and political issues that develop. We love practicing law together. In 2010, between Christmas and New Year's, we said, "We think it's time." From January 1st, 2011, we decided that every day we would do something in furtherance of creating the firm. We were still practicing at the other firm up until April of that year. We finished up and spent a lot of time speaking to our clients to come with us and discussing their matters. We opened the doors in May of 2011. We were very fortunate because all of our clients and all of their matters came with us. We walked out of the office with 90-something boxes of files. On that Monday morning, we were ready to start at our firm under our name working on the same cases we've been working on before. What is the difference between being a lawyer in some partnership and building a little firm as a business? Scott and I had been in business for several years. I'm thinking of myself as an attorney with our firm. There was a mindset shift after a couple of years, "It's a business." As we grew, we were hiring people, moving into different spaces and taking on additional responsibilities. I always treated it as a business but thinking of it as a business gave me a lot of insight into the way that small and mid-size business owners think and operate in the challenges that they have. That's what has informed a lot of my work in the transactional litigation space where I'm supporting small and mid-size businesses. Are you guys beginning this firm as a partnership or you are thinking about scaling and building this as a business? We're a professional corporation so we're an S Corp in New York. It's not just the two of us anymore. We have other attorneys here. We have other support staff here so we're growing. I don't want to get too big. I like the personal touch we offer but I could see being as large, maybe ten attorneys. Let's switch gears here a little bit and talk about the theme of this s...

In this episode, Molly McGrath is joined by Jordan Ostroff, the president of LegalEase Marketing. They dive into the concept of the Netflix of legal marketing, discussing the benefits of a subscription model for law firms. Jordan introduces the acronym SET IT, which stands for Strategize, Execute, Track, Iterate, and Test, emphasizing the importancve of quarterly strategizing. The episode emphasizes that tracking data is crucial for identifying the factors influencing revenue and client reviews. Tune in to learn more how to develop marketing strategies, maximize client acquisition and retention rates, and leverage legal marketing techniques to increase client intake and close deals.    Key Takeaways   The Netflix of Legal Marketing can provide law firms with consistent access to new content, tweaks, and changes, enabling them to generate cases and grow their firm effectively. Different firms require different strategies, and there is no one-size-fits-all solution. Converting leads into clients should be the primary focus than solely relying on the number of leads. Tracking data is vital for making informed decisions and identifying the causes of changes in revenue and client feedback. Following up with leads is an often overlooked and underutilized strategy in selling legal services. Law firms should focus on maximizing client acquisition and retention rates. Implementing a customer relationship management (CRM) system is highly recommended for law firms engaged in marketing activities.
