In part two of our grant preparation series, I reveal why artists face rejection and share the exact mindset shift that changes everything. We tackle the unspoken rules of funding panels, how to strategically scale from local micro-grants to national fellowships, and why proving your project's momentum matters far more than pitching your talent. Stop letting minor technicalities ruin your chances at securing real financial backing and learn the step-by-step framework to build a funding portfolio that turns your artistic ambitions into fully funded realities.

Diesmal berichtet die Zwischenschicht aus den heiligen Hallen des ZBI, dem Zentrum für Beatmung und Intensivpflege im Storkower Bogen in Berlin. Litti und Olli sprechen mit Severin (Ausbildungsleitung) und Vivien (zentrale Praxisanleitung) über ein Thema, das die Zukunft der Pflege trägt: die Ausbildung. Schnell wird ein Vorurteil abgeräumt – dass man in einer kleinen, spezialisierten Einrichtung ja „nicht viel lernen" könne. Das Gegenteil ist der Fall: Hier begegnen Auszubildende von Tag eins an schwer kranken, oft beatmeten Menschen, lernen den Umgang mit Trachealkanülen und wie man mit Bewohner:innen kommuniziert, die nicht sprechen können – über Augen- und Daumencodes. Vor allem aber: Hier ist Zeit für Pflege. Die beiden erzählen, wie moderne Ausbildung heute funktioniert – Schritt für Schritt statt Sprung ins kalte Wasser, individuell statt „Runden abarbeiten", auf Augenhöhe statt „Lehrjahre sind keine Herrenjahre". Es geht um Generalistik, um lange Praxiseinsätze außer Haus und darum, wie man den Kontakt zu den Azubis hält, wenn sie fast ein Jahr weg sind. Und natürlich um die große Frage: Sind die jungen Leute von heute wirklich weniger belastbar? Oder achten sie einfach anders auf sich – und bringen genau das mit, was Pflege gut tut? Eine ehrliche, warme Folge über Pflege-Nachwuchs, Wertschätzung und warum dieser Beruf so viel zurückgibt. Einschaltbefehl!

Er schlüpft darin in die Rolle des von sich und seinen Ansichten sehr überzeugten Volksvertreters Walter Eißermann, dessen Name sich nicht zufällig zu „alter weißer Mann“ schütteln lässt.

Better Business Better Life! Helping you live your Ideal Entrepreneurial Life through EOS & Experts
In this episode of Better Business, Better Life, Debra Chantry-Taylor sits down with AI expert & “AI Whisperer” Severin Sorensen discuss about how AI isn't replacing you, but it's making you more valuable.Severin shares his remarkable journey from writing an entire book with AI in just five days to becoming a leading advocate for the ethical use of artificial intelligence. Rather than seeing AI as a replacement for people, Severin believes its real power lies in amplifying human capability, helping leaders think better, solve problems faster & create greater value. One of the biggest ideas in this conversation is the power of using multiple AI models instead of relying on just one. Severin explains how different AI platforms have different strengths, & how leaders can orchestrate them together to create a powerful “thinking team” that challenges ideas, improves decisions & produces stronger results than a single model working alone.This philosophy forms the foundation of his latest book, Claude Conductor, which explores how AI can be used as an intelligent orchestrator, not just a chatbot. Debra & Severin also discuss practical ways to improve AI efficiency. From writing better prompts & defining tasks clearly before execution to converting PDFs into markdown files to reduce token costs, Severin shares techniques that can help leaders increase productivity while reducing unnecessary AI expenses. The conversation also tackles one of the most important topics surrounding artificial intelligence today: ethics. Severin explains why businesses must develop & use AI responsibly, ensuring it strengthens human judgement rather than replacing it. He encourages leaders to treat AI as a trusted thinking partner that asks better questions, challenges assumptions & supports more informed decisions. This episode is essential listening for entrepreneurs, business owners & leadership teams who want to move beyond basic prompting & unlock the true potential of artificial intelligence to build a better business & a better life.

In this replay of a 2023 interview, Severin de Wit speaks with Tom Tyler, professor of law and psychology at Yale and founding director of the Justice Collaboratory. A psychologist teaching in a law school — a rare combination — Tyler argues that legal systems are built on assumptions about human nature that are seldom tested against what psychologists actually know. His research points to something striking: people comply with the law more because they trust it than because they fear it. And what builds that trust is not whether you win or lose your case, but how you were treated along the way — whether you were heard, treated with respect, and felt the process was fair. This is the idea of procedural justice, and it has both a decision-making side (voice, neutrality, consistency) and a relational side (dignity, sincerity, genuine attention to people's concerns). The conversation ranges across criminal justice, civil and administrative law, prisons, and policing, including how police officers who feel fairly treated by their own superiors go on to treat the public more fairly. Tyler explains why a system built on fear requires policing forever, while one built on trust makes communities stronger: people cooperate, testify, engage with their neighbours, and invest in where they live. He also has warm words for the Netherlands, citing the Ombudsman's adoption of procedural justice principles and the influence of empirical research on Dutch policy — and a challenge for the legal world everywhere: take empiricism seriously as a tool for improvement. A thoughtful, evidence-based case for why trust isn't just a different model of legal authority, but a superior one. [ Due to the holiday season, we are publishing this interview again. It was first published on September 6, 2023, as episode 76]
And now a reposting of this rambling and too brief biography of John Severin, the definitive artist of "Cracked" magazine.
For six years, I built this podcast while secretly measuring my worth against exhausting, invisible standards I could not even name. To break out of this vicious cycle, I turned to four paradigm-shifting books that dismantled my view of success and identity. These texts exposed the hidden systems dictating my creative choices and revealed a radical mindset shift that shrunk my negative self-talk. If you constantly feel like you are falling behind or trying to fit a mold that rejects you, this episode will give you the exact permission you need to burn the old blueprints and build a thriving practice entirely on your own terms.

In this replay of a 2023 interview, Severin de Wit speaks with Economist Benjamin Ho - Professor of Economics at Vassar College and author of Why Trust Matters: An Economist's Guide to the Ties That Bind Us. What if trust isn't just a feeling, but something humans have been calculating for thousands of years? Ben Ho uses game theory to explain why we cooperate at all, why we keep promises that cost us, and why the words I am sorry almost never work the way we expect. Ben explains why an apology only repairs trust when it carries a real cost. He shares what an experiment with Uber revealed about late rides and unhappy customers, and why Bill Clinton never apologized over Monica Lewinsky - exposing the hidden trade-off between being liked and being respected. The conversation travels from early hunter-gatherer societies, where the first written records were accounting rather than poetry, to the Paris Climate Agreement - a deal built almost entirely on trust rather than enforcement. Ben makes the case that trust is the quiet infrastructure beneath markets, contracts, and treaties. Take it away, and none of it holds.

Der Arbeitgeberverband hat rund um den Begriff «Lifestyle-Teilzeit» eine Debatte ausgelöst. Für den Präsidenten Severin Moser geht mit Teilzeit ein Potential von 86 000 Vollzeitstellen verloren. Ist die Wahl von Teilzeitarbeit aber auch der steigenden Arbeitsbelastung geschuldet? In Deutschland prägte der Wirtschaftsflügel der CDU und Teile der Arbeitgeberverbände den Begriff der Lifestyle-Teilzeit. Damit verbunden ist die Forderung nach einer Abschwächung des Gesetzes auf einen Anspruch auf Teilzeitarbeit. In der Schweiz gibt es keinen Anspruch auf Teilzeitarbeit, es sind immer Vereinbarungen zwischen den Arbeitgeberinnen und Arbeitgebern und den Angestellten. Haben es somit die Arbeitgeber in der Hand, wie viel Teilzeit in der Schweiz gearbeitet wird? Der Arbeitgeberverband fürchtet sich vor einem Mangel an Arbeitskräften und möchte diese Lücke mit möglichst vielen möglichst hochprozentig arbeitenden Angestellten füllen. Studien zeigen, dass sich die Arbeitsbelastung und der Stress am Arbeitsplatz ständig erhöhen. Sind hier auch die Arbeitgeber gefordert? Welche Massnahmen könnten Abhilfe bringen? Gewerkschaften und der SAV haben unterschiedliche Vorstellungen. Severin Moser ist Präsident des Schweizerischen Arbeitgeberverbandes und zu Gast im Tagesgespräch bei Karoline Arn.

There's a particular kind of dread that comes with sending someone to your website — you hit send on your portfolio link and immediately think: wait, is that still up? Did I ever update that bio? In this episode, we get into why your website might be the one thing standing between you and the clients you actually want, and the specific work of making it do what it's supposed to do: make the right people feel something, and then reach out.

Straight out of the Necro Phone Recommendations, we dig into OUT OF THE BLUE, a heavy, bleak film directed by Dennis Hopper from 1980.

Intro: “Necromaniacs” – Mike Hill Outro: “Hey, Hey, My, My (Out of the Blue)” – Neil Young and Crazy Horse

Armed with her cellphone and a lantern, she discussed her Roger Corman film selection and discussed her new book, Cockfight: A Fable of Failure, which examines the 1974 Monte Hellman film COCKFIGHTER released by New World Pictures!They discuss why Kier-La decided to write a book about COCKFIGHTER, why Monte Hellman didn't want her to write one, and the difficulty of getting Ed Begley, Jr. to do an interview! All that plus much, much more, including Roger Corman movie picks from Marc, Erica, and Ryan! What did they choose? You'll have to listen to find out! Happy birthday, Roger!

Have you ever walked into a room where you belonged, yet felt like a total intruder? Even when surrounded by friends or longtime colleagues, that whisper of inadequacy—the one that claims you are "running a game" on everyone—often grows loudest just as you are about to shine. In this solo episode, I pull back the curtain on a recent, that forced me to confront my own "elaborate dance of diminishment". We explore the terrifying possibility that we aren't actually afraid of being incompetent, but rather, we are terrified of being seen as someone who knows they are truly good at what they do. If you have ever felt the need to offer a disclaimer before sharing a brilliant idea, this conversation is your invitation to stop shrinking and start taking up the space you have already earned.

After more than a decade away from the Big Game, WK Kellogg Co's Raisin Bran made a historic—and hilarious—return for Super Bowl LX. Cassie is joined by JP Severin, Brand Manager at WK Kellogg Co, to pull back the curtain on the "Will Shat" campaign. Starring the legendary William Shatner, the campaign tackled America's "fiber gap" by blending sci-fi nostalgia with irreverent bathroom humor. JP breaks down the decision to forgo a traditional national linear buy in favor of a tactical, streaming-first approach on Peacock and NFL+, and explains how the brand used "staged" paparazzi stunts to build organic hype weeks before kickoff. Key Takeaways:// Why Raisin Bran chose the Super Bowl's massive scale to address the fact that 95% of Americans are fiber-deficient—turning a "boring" health stat into a high-stakes marketing mission.// How humor, wordplay, and a 94-year-old icon were used to destigmatize gut health and make fiber an accessible, talkable topic for a broad audience.// The data-driven "why" behind prioritizing Peacock, NBC Sports, and NFL+ over a traditional national TV spot to reach a younger, digitally-native demographic.// A look at the VaynerMedia-led "pap walks" that put William Shatner in the news cycle weeks before the ad aired, proving that the Super Bowl is now an "ecosystem of screens."// How a massive company like WK Kellogg Co remains agile enough to execute social-first stunts that feel authentic and timely.// JP's advice for Millennial and Gen Z marketers on the one "non-textbook" skill required to manage iconic household names in 2026.Connect with JP: LinkedInWatch the Campaign: YouTube____Join the MHH Collective!

In our ongoing series about the creative process of building a studio, we've covered when and how to hire a team. But what happens when a hire isn't the right fit? I'm pulling back the curtain on a lesson that cost me months of energy and a piece of my confidence as a leader. You'll often know by week three or four when a new hire isn't going to make it, and waiting six months to act isn't just costly, it's a failure of leadership. I share the difference between a coachable skill gap and a fundamental values misalignment. Discover the two questions that immediately clarify your next move and the three clear, documented conversations you must have before making the final decision. This episode provides a clear, direct process to protect your creative work and act with grace and clarity, because your vision is worth protecting.

In this special episode of the Arete Coach Podcast, host Severin Sorensen—executive coach, bestselling author of The AI Whisperer series, and curator of the Arete Coach Podcast—presents a solo discussion on the accelerating rise of artificial intelligence and its implications for leaders, workers, and society at large. Recorded on September 28, 2025, via Zoom, the episode titled “Reimagining and Bridge Building” explores the frameworks behind Sorensen's two newest books: The Great Reimagining and Building Tomorrow. With decades of leadership coaching experience and a reputation as a forward-thinking strategist, Severin Sorensen brings deep perspective and actionable vision to this pivotal moment in history through two new books: The Great Reimagining: A blueprint for navigating AI-driven disruption through balanced taxation of AI profits, Workfare 2.0 income supports, sovereign AI investment funds, and “The Solomon Solution”—a surplus-sharing framework designed to prevent the polarization of “makers vs. takers.”Building Tomorrow: A guide for youth, parents, and educators that frames 30 enduring “hard problems” in areas such as water scarcity, cybersecurity, quantum computing, and environmental stewardship. Written for STEAM-oriented learners, the book encourages the next generation to become problem-solvers in an AI-augmented future.Thought leadership: Sorensen has recently published academic work on agentic AI, led large-scale workshops with executives and Vistage Chairs, and integrated the latest generative AI applications into business strategy and executive coaching practices. Key Insights for Executive-Level Coaches AI acceleration and agency: 2025 has seen the dawn of agentic AI—models capable of recursive self-improvement and behaviors that mimic consciousness, raising new opportunities and responsibilities for leaders.Bridging disruption with design: The “bridge model” reframes AI disruption not as inevitable collapse, but as a design challenge requiring intentional policy, economic, and community-building responses.Work with purpose: Sorensen stresses that while paychecks matter, meaning, identity, and community remain paramount. Coaches must help clients navigate grief, displacement, and reinvention with dignity.No one crosses alone: Communities of reinvention—peer circles, guilds, and city hubs—are vital in turning disruption into belonging and shared growth.The builder's mindset: The future is not something that happens to us but something we co-create. Leaders, policymakers, and coaches must “grab a plank” and build the bridge toward flourishing. The Arete Coach Podcast continues to explore the art and science of executive coaching at the highest levels. You can find more about this podcast at aretecoach.io.
