Podcasts about shifting

                                  Listen in as Erin and Sandee discuss: Peak performance isn't just strategy—it's mastering the space between your ears. Your unconscious beliefs are often driving your actions. Rewiring them is a game changer. Meditation isn't one-size-fits-all: walking, journaling, or even shower time can be meditative. You can't expect different results without practicing new habits—just like learning a new sport. Shifting from fear to love is a daily, conscious choice—and it's available to everyone. …and much more!                                           About Sandee Sgarlata is a two-time award winning author, certified life coach since 2004, professional speaker, retired U.S. national and international figure skating coach, gold medalist in ice dancing, Reiki Master Teacher, and has spent the past 20 years helping people create lasting changes in their lives.

In episode 698, Eloise Jennes talks about how what felt like a massive failure on Instagram actually became the catalyst for clarity, growth, and deep alignment in her food blogging business. Elo is a plant-based food blogger, meal prep expert, and founder of Cooking With Elo, where she helps stressed-out professionals, overwhelmed parents, and health-conscious students make healthy plant-based eating way more doable and way less chaotic. With her Master's in food innovation and obsessive love for systems, checklists, and pantry organization, Elo helps you feel confident in the kitchen, even with tofu, tempeh, and beans on the menu. So if you've ever wished someone would just tell you what to cook, how to prep it, and when to eat it—she's your girl. In this episode, you'll learn how to reframe failure as a learning opportunity to refine your niche, improve your blog and discover a clear business path rooted in passion and purpose. Key points discussed include: - Failure isn't failure—it's unmet expectations: Eloise shares how she redefined her Instagram experiment as a learning opportunity, not a flop. - Hard work can still feel fruitless—until it pays off: Posting 100 blog posts and 100 Instagram reels in 100 days didn't go viral, but it laid a strong foundation for her business. - Systems matter: Eloise used Google Sheets smart chips and her love of organization to manage content creation efficiently. - Clarity comes from action: Pushing through the challenge helped Eloise realize her true niche had been there all along—plant-based meal prep. - You gain confidence through repetition: Creating content daily improved her storytelling, video editing, voiceovers, and technical workflow. - Burnout is real—listen to your body: She worked 14-15 hours a day, 7 days a week, and ended up with stress-induced gastritis, teaching her to build in sustainability. - Trust the process: Eloise held onto the belief that everything was leading somewhere, and it eventually unlocked new products, programs, and media opportunities. - Teaching is mastery: Shifting from “storyteller” to “teacher” allowed Eloise to embrace her strengths and lead her audience more effectively.

Is unrestricted fundraising really the hardest kind? In this episode of Inspired Nonprofit Leadership, Sarah Olivieri sits down with Sherry Quam Taylor to challenge that long-held belief and unpack how nonprofits can build stronger, more effective fundraising strategies by focusing on investment-level giving. They dig into the real reasons many nonprofits stay stuck in low-ROI tactics like events and appeals, and what it takes to shift into a high-return, relationship-based model. From calculating your true financial need to rethinking donor conversations, this episode is packed with insights to help you raise more money with less stress—and no gala required. Episode Highlights 03:21 Fundraising Challenges and Strategies 04:05 Investment Level Giving and ROI 05:08 Relational Fundraising and Donor Engagement 09:01 Shifting Fundraising Mindsets 13:01 Building Donor Relationships and Financial Planning 18:51 Field Testing Your Messaging 19:19 Overcoming Perfectionism in Fundraising 19:47 Balancing Organizational Health Perceptions 21:10 Equipping Teams for Deeper Conversations 23:02 Evaluating Fundraising Efficiency 27:50 Shifting to Sustainable Fundraising 29:28 The Power of Relational Fundraising Meet the Guest Sherry Quam Taylor works with business-minded Nonprofit CEOs whose Strategic Plans require expansive budgets and larger amounts of general-operating revenue for growth. To become investment-level ready, Sherry helps leaders see their revenue potential and helps them see what may be blocking donors from giving in this way. Sherry's clients know how to attract larger donors by solving the funding challenges at the root of the issue. As a result of learning her methodology, Sherry's clients become sustainable, diversify revenue, and know how to add significant amounts gen-ops revenue to their budgets. But mostly, their development departments and board have transformed into high-ROI revenue generators – aligning their hours with relational dollars and set free from the limitations of transactional fundraising. Sherry attributes the success of her business to her passion for modeling radical confidence to the future CEOs in her house - her two college-aged daughters.

I used to think my relationship would get better if only my partner would change, be more present, more affectionate, more anything. But what I've learned is that real change started when I stopped focusing on what he wasn't doing and started looking at how I was showing up. In this episode, I'm sharing what it means to shift a relationship by shifting yourself. Not by shrinking or people-pleasing, but by growing, owning your part, and showing up differently—with more awareness, honesty, and intention. If you've ever felt stuck waiting for someone else to change, this one's for you. Interested in 1:1 Coaching?

For all of human history, the oceans and the life within them have remained a stable and fundamental part of Earth as we know it. Yet, for the past few decades, fisheries and scientists alike have observed massive migrations in marine ecosystems unlike anything we've ever witnessed. What is driving these unprecedented movements, and how are they rippling out to affect every aspect of life In this conversation, Nate is joined by marine ecologist Malin Pinsky, whose decades of research shed light on the dramatic migrations of marine species due to rising ocean temperatures. Malin breaks down the science behind these changes – from declining oxygen levels pushing fish toward the poles, to the cascading impacts on intricate marine food webs, as well as the growing threat of localized extinctions among key fishery species. How has a cultural disconnect from the importance of biodiversity and the interdependence of life led to such a drastic impact on the function of our oceans? What do these changes mean for humanity, including impacts on global food security and geopolitical stability? Finally, could reconnecting with the ocean's abundant, diverse ecosystems help us reduce our impact on these deep, blue pillars of life?  (Conversation recorded on April 22nd, 2025)  More TGS Ocean Episodes   About Malin Pinsky: Malin Pinsky is an Associate Professor in the Department of Ecology & Evolutionary Biology at the University of California Santa Cruz with expertise in the adaptation of ocean life to climate change and applications to ocean conservation and fisheries. His more than 120 publications have appeared in Science, Nature, and other journals.  He is a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, an Earth Leadership Fellow, and an Early Career Fellow of the Ecological Society of America. Pinsky serves on advisory boards for the Beijer Institute of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, the non-profit Oceana, and the Chewonki Foundation. He grew up exploring tidepools and mountains in Maine.   Show Notes and More Watch this video episode on YouTube   Want to learn the broad overview of The Great Simplification in 30 minutes?

Maintaining genuine professional relationships isn't just nice, it's essential. In this episode, we talk about how staying in touch (even casually) can quietly shape your career in powerful ways—and how it's played out over decades for our guest, Soo Finley.This week, I got to catch up with my high school friend Soo Finley, who now works at the executive level in banking—and let me tell you, her career path has been anything but predictable (just the way we like it on this show). Soo walks us through her squiggly journey from Hicksville, Long Island (yep, that's a real place) to studying chemistry and engineering, and eventually finding her stride in the world of banking and finance. If you're figuring out how to bring more of you into your work, or just wondering how people land in jobs they never saw coming, this one's for you.

Most Americans would agree that the United States should be protected, but from whom … and how? Dr. Donell Harvin, the former Chief of Homeland Security and Intelligence for the District of Columbia, says the U.S. is taking its eye off the ball - focusing its large domestic intelligence apparatus in a direction that is politically expedient, but not in line with the most serious threats.

“You're not alone, you're not crazy—and with God's help, you can build confidence and walk in truth.” Have you ever felt like you weren't good enough? Like you didn't belong or couldn't trust your own decisions? Maybe you've wrestled with anxiety before speaking up, or feared being rejected in relationships. If so, you're not alone. In this special “Coaches Takeover” episode, Coaches Susan and Diana get real about a struggle that touches every woman at some point: insecurity. They peel back the layers to explore what insecurity really is, how it forms, how it shows up in everyday life—from career and finances to relationships and social settings—and how to move forward with confidence, clarity, and faith. With biblical insight, relatable stories, and practical tools, this episode will help you identify hidden roots of insecurity and take the first step toward freedom. Understanding the Root of Insecurity Insecurity isn't just a feeling—it's often a long-standing belief shaped by past wounds, trauma, criticism, or comparison. Susan and Diana explain how insecurity is usually built on perception rather than truth, and how that perception becomes a lens that affects everything from your self-worth to your ability to make decisions. Types of Insecurity—and Where You Might See Yourself From public speaking to parenting, marriage to money, insecurity shows up in many forms: personal, relational, social, professional, and financial. The coaches share vulnerable stories from their own lives (yes, even beach towel choices and Ph.D. paths!) to illustrate how insecurity can limit growth and paralyze action. The Body Keeps the Score Insecurity doesn't just stay in your head. It shows up in your body—through anxiety, overthinking, or even chronic stress. You'll learn how physical dysregulation can keep you stuck and how being curious (not critical) about your reactions can be a powerful path to healing. Shifting from Perfectionism to Purpose When insecurity drives perfectionism, it keeps you focused on your flaws instead of your impact. The coaches offer a mindset shift: let go of the need to be perfect and embrace being human. Showing up, even imperfectly, is powerful—especially when you focus on helping others rather than proving yourself. From Shame to Strength: A Biblical Perspective Going all the way back to Genesis, we see insecurity take root when we begin to question who we are and who God is. Susan and Diana remind us of the enemy's tactics and encourage us to put on the armor of God (Ephesians 6:10–12), standing firm in truth and identity as beloved daughters of the King. You Are Not Alone Friend, insecurity may whisper that you're not enough—but the truth is, you are deeply loved, uniquely created, and equipped by God for purpose. You don't need to stay stuck in fear. With His help, you can show up strong, stand in your worth, and walk in freedom. We're so glad you're here. If this episode encouraged you, would you share it with a friend or leave a review? You never know who might need the hope and healing God has for them through your simple act of sharing. Until next time, keep leaning into courage, wisdom, and the One who loves you most.

Saying yes to everything might look generous on the outside but it's often fear, not confidence, calling the shots.   In this episode, Corinne Morahan talks about what really drives our constant “yes-es,” and why it leaves so many of us drained, overbooked, and quietly resentful. Are you saying yes because you want to… or because you're afraid of what it means to say no?   Corinne shares the moment that changed everything for her: realizing that jumping in too quickly wasn't helping. It was keeping others from stepping up and keeping her stuck in a cycle of overcommitment. From there, she explains what it actually looks like to say yes with intention.   Corinne breaks down how to tell the difference between an aligned yes and a knee-jerk one, and how to build a calendar that reflects what matters most. You'll hear her take on pre-deciding your boundaries, creating white space on purpose, and checking in with your future self before you commit.   If your week is packed with things you agreed to out of guilt or habit, this episode will help you shift course. Where are you leaving yourself out of the equation, and what would it take to stop?   Episode Breakdown: 00:00 The Yes Person Dilemma 01:14 The Cost of Overcommitment 04:18 A Personal Wake-Up Call 07:20 Shifting the Habit of Saying Yes 08:57 The Generosity of a True Yes 10:33 Strategies for Reclaiming Your Time 16:20 The VIBE Framework   Links Do you want to have more success, more freedom and more impact - on your own terms?

If you're still posting like a top producer but expecting people to follow you like a top leader, it's time for a shift. In this episode of Recruiting Conversations, I break down how to reframe your social media presence to attract talent, not just clients. Your digital brand is your recruiting reputation. I'll walk you through a proven framework to flip your message from “I close deals” to “I build leaders.” Because if you want top talent to follow you, you need to show up like someone worth following.   Episode Breakdown [00:00] Introduction – The disconnect between producer-style social posts and recruiting outcomes. [01:00] Why Your Brand Isn't Working – Your profile says top producer when it needs to say top leader. [01:30] Step 1: Define What You Want to Be Known For – Focus on your vision, your value, and your voice. [02:30] Step 2: Elevate the Conversation – Talk less about volume. Talk more about growth, mentorship, and development. [03:30] Step 3: Document Your Leadership – Share real moments, coaching sessions, growth wins, behind-the-scenes leadership insights. [04:30] Step 4: Build a Consistent Posting Rhythm – Use a weekly content cadence that includes vision, wins, insights, values, and gratitude. [05:30] Step 5: Remove Distractions – Market updates and closings? Move those to stories or separate accounts to avoid confusing your audience. [06:00] Coaching Case Study – How one leader went from “Superman” producer to team-building recruiter in just six weeks, and started getting inbound interest fast. [07:00] Final Challenge – Audit your social media today. If your last 10 posts don't reflect leadership, change the message.   Key Takeaways People Follow Leaders, Not Closers – If your feed looks like a producer's, it's time to evolve your message. Vision, Value, Voice – Define and share what you stand for and who you're building with. Make It About the Team – Highlight others. Show development. Move from “look at me” to “look at us.” Be Consistent – Social branding works when you show up frequently and with clarity. Your Brand Is Either Attracting or Repelling – Be intentional. Start speaking directly to the people you want to lead. Your next recruit is already watching. Now it's time to give them a reason to reach out. Shift your message, step into your leadership, and let your brand do the recruiting for you. Want help building a social presence that actually brings talent to you?

When it comes to battery storage deployment in Europe, most of the attention has been focused on familiar markets like the UK, Germany, and southern Europe. But in the background, a quieter shift has been taking place in the Nordics - one that's now starting to accelerate.Long seen as too stable, too hydro-dominated, or simply too slow, the Nordic markets were largely overlooked by early battery investors. Yet growing volatility, falling capex, and the evolving needs of a decarbonising grid have started to change the picture.In this episode of Transmission, we explore what's driving battery investment in Sweden, Finland, and beyond. From market signals and dispatch dynamics to cross-border optimisation and grid readiness, this conversation offers a window into a part of the European market that's now waking up and scaling fast. Quentin speaks with Nicklas Bäcker, Co-Founder & Chief Strategy Officer at Ingrid Capacity. Over the course of the conversation, you'll hear about:Why the Nordics were initially overlooked: How the prevalence of dispatchable hydro capacity led many investors to undervalue the incremental role of batteries in grid flexibility.Shifting storage economics: How declining capex, increased price volatility, and evolving ancillary service markets have improved the commercial viability of BESS in the region.Scaling rapidly in a new market: Insights into how more than €250 million was raised to deliver more than 200 MW of battery capacity within a compressed timeframe.Complementing hydro with fast-response assets: Why batteries offer unique value even in hydro-heavy systems. From frequency control to short-duration balancing and market arbitrage.A cross-border approach to Nordic flexibility: How project developers are expanding into Finland and other markets, and what differentiates the Nordic power system in a European context.About our guest:Nicklas Bäcker is Chief Strategy Officer at Ingrid Capacity, one of the fastest-growing battery storage platforms in Northern Europe.

From frequency control to short-duration balancing and market arbitrage.A cross-border approach to Nordic flexibility: How project developers are expanding into Finland and other markets, and what differentiates the Nordic power system in a European context.About our guest:Nicklas Bäcker is Chief Strategy Officer at Ingrid Capacity, one of the fastest-growing battery storage platforms in Northern Europe.

Neil addresses the common feelings of being lost and purposeless that many listeners have expressed after the previous episode. Neil shares a powerful technique to shift one's mindset by changing body posture. He emphasises the connection between body and mind, encouraging listeners to adopt a victorious stance to boost their confidence and energy. By engaging in this simple yet effective practice, Neil aims to help listeners take control of their emotions and set a positive tone for their day. KEY TAKEAWAYS Mind-Body Connection: The relationship between the mind and body is interconnected; changing your posture can significantly influence your mental state. Adopting a confident stance can help shift feelings of depression or lethargy. Victory Posture Exercise: To improve your mood and energy, practice standing tall with your arms raised in a victory pose. This physical change can evoke feelings of success and confidence, helping to combat negative thoughts. Morning Rituals Matter: Establishing a positive morning routine is crucial. Avoid hitting the snooze button, make your bed, and start your day with a winner's mindset to set a productive tone for the rest of the day. Behaviour Influences Mood: Your actions and how you present yourself can dictate your feelings. Slouching or dressing in a sloppy manner can lead to a negative mindset, while adopting a more active and positive demeanour can enhance motivation. Consistency is Key: Regularly practising these techniques can lead to lasting changes in your mindset and overall well-being. Make it a habit to shift your state and embrace a winner's mentality to improve your life and business. BEST MOMENTS "Where the mind goes, the body follows. And where the body follows, the mind follows in turn." "This is a really simple, extremely powerful tool that can change everything in just a moment or three." "Your behavior is dictating how you're going to feel. How can you be positive and motivated if you're just slobbing around?" "If you didn't do it, get off your butt and do it now. Repeat it. Repeat. Repeat." "Winners don't slob like that. It's not going to happen."

US Vice President JD Vance revealed the Trump administration's "generational shift in [foreign] policy", emphasizing "great power competition" and preparation for war with China. They're abandoning soft power and focusing on "hard power" and "overwhelming force", in a return to blatant, 19th century-style imperialism. Ben Norton reports.

Welcome to episode 190 of What Are We Doing! If you've ever wondered what I've been hiding in this briefcase, buckle up, because today I finally (almost) reveal the ultra-secret, super-exclusive gadget that's been taking over Wan Pod Studios—though you'll have to hit subscribe and ring that bell if you want to be among the first mortals to see it in all its glory.We kick things off with a studio update: not only am I toying with an alien invasion down here in the Levi McCurdy hemisphere, but we're also launching a brand-new, music-and-amps podcast straight out of our guitar shop haven. If you're into pet oils, power chords, or pondering why guitars have volume knobs but no “volume demon”—this one's for you.Then it's on to crypto chaos: Bitcoin just blasted through $111,000—yes, you heard that right—and I'm praying to the crypto gods (hand motions included) that it holds. Meanwhile, XRP could double and solve half our national debt, so let's get those banks onboard! I even touch on the ever-lovely Hailey Welch and her constant need to convince us all that “snipers” lost money in that wild token scam—spoiler: regular folks got tanked too, Hailey.Wedding news: thanks to Bitcoin bull runs, we can finally afford to wrap up this wedding thing—Mexico, mid-July, beach vibes, open bar, please send tequila—and then I'll promptly bounce back for a $10,000 server bill. Because powering an empire isn't free, folks.Next, we roast the latest DoorDash + Klarna fiasco: financing your Crunchwrap like it's a mortgage? Eat now, cry later, America. Klarna's Q1 losses doubled to $150 million because apparently we'd rather pay $4 now and forget about it for three weeks than cough up $17—psychology 101. And if you want to short them, remember: the CEO just used an AI avatar to tell his board they could fire him and save millions. What are we doing?Shifting gears, we dive into the New Orleans jailbreak: ten dangerous felons, an inside job that involved turning off water and tagging “Too Easy →” on the wall (with a misspelled “two,” bless them). Half are back in cuffs, but three are still on the run—bet on Poly Market whether they'll be caught before GTA VI drops. Giddy up.Massive shout-out to Dude Robe for sponsoring today's episode—your gift-card stint at Home Depot ain't gonna cut it this Father's Day. Treat your pops to the ultimate hooded towel-hybrid: the Reversible Dude Hoodie, plus a matching robe (use code WOD for 20% off). Because Dad deserves more than socks.Finally, we blast through AI madness: Google IO's new Gemini tricks (live Meet translations, AI-powered try-ons so you can see yourself in that dress before you buy it), Video 3 and Google Flow that could have Spielberg calling for an agent, and OpenAI's $6.5 billion “IO” jab at Google, featuring Jony Ive's comeback to hardware design. If you're not experimenting with AI yet, congrats—you've already missed the boat.That's a wrap on 190—if you're still with me, hit like, subscribe, and ring that bell so you don't miss the big briefcase reveal, the new podcast launch, or my inevitable meltdown when I discover I've spent all my Bitcoin on dad-jokes. I've got to pick up my kid, DJ a wedding tomorrow, then sprint to Philly for a Post Malone weekend (Cheesecake Factory runs included).Happy Memorial Day, enjoy the holiday, and I'll catch you next Friday. Peace out—what are we doing?

Thank you for listening!

Guest Introduction  Today, we are honored to welcome Dr. Warren Farrell, a renowned Ph.D., internationally bestselling author, and one of the world's top 100 thought leaders (as recognized by the Financial Times). His work has shaped both the women's and men's movements, and his latest book, Role Mate to Soul Mate, dives deep into the science and art of sustaining intimate relationships. Having been married for over 30 years, Dr. Farrell doesn't just teach relationship transformation—he lives it.  In this episode, we're breaking down the critical shifts needed to move from just “coexisting” in relationships to truly thriving. If you've ever felt unheard, misunderstood, or stuck in recurring patterns with your partner, this conversation will change the way you approach love, communication, and intimacy.  Three Powerful Takeaways  ✅ Criticism is a Relationship Killer—But You Can Change Your Response ✅ Boundaries and Emotional Safety Are the Foundations of Lasting Love ✅ Understanding Your Partner's Emotional Needs Creates a Conflict-Free Zone  Key Discussion Topics  1️The Hidden Traps of Criticism and How to Overcome Them (⏱ 17:4 "If you respond to criticism by being defensive, that means you are human. That was functional for survival, but it's dysfunctional for love." – Dr. Warren Farrell  Criticism often triggers a fight-or-flight response, making even minor comments feel like personal attacks. Shifting the mindset from defensiveness to curiosity transforms relationships. Instead of reacting, creating a safe space for dialogue allows for deeper trust and connection. Learning to listen without taking things personally fosters emotional intimacy rather than eroding it.  2️The Power of Boundaries in Love and Parenting (⏱ 05:0  "Boys that are dad-deprived often lack postponed gratification, which is the single biggest predictor of success or failure." – Dr. Warren Farrell  Boundaries aren't about control; they are about creating safety and stability—whether in parenting, personal relationships, or partnerships. Clear and consistent boundaries help people feel respected and seen. Without them, relationships can spiral into resentment or chaos. When structure and accountability are present, it leads to a greater sense of self-worth, stronger partnerships, and deeper emotional security.  3️Creating a Conflict-Free Zone in Relationships (⏱ 31:2  "If your partner criticizes you, you can either argue back—where there's a 100% chance you won't be heard—or bring it up during structured time, where there's a 100% chance you will." – Dr. Warren Farrell  Most couples struggle with navigating conflict effectively, but structured communication—like weekly “caring and sharing” sessions—creates space for listening, appreciation, and deeper understanding. Shifting from reactive to intentional conversations reduces unnecessary tension and builds a foundation of trust, vulnerability, and long-term love. Final Thought  If you've ever felt frustrated by miscommunication in your relationships or wondered how to create deeper intimacy and understanding, this episode will be a game-changer. Dr. Farrell's insights provide actionable strategies to transform your love life and build a partnership that feels safe, fulfilling, and truly connected.  Grab his latest book, Role Mate to Soul Mate, and start your journey toward a stronger, more fulfilling relationship today!  Listen now and share this episode with someone who needs it! 

"I was just feeling bad for myself… like, what's wrong? How do I figure this out? I just feel like nothing is gonna change for me. But I said yes to the work, and everything started to shift."In this inspiring and emotionally honest episode, Elshia Vasquez returns to share her story of going from self-doubt and anxiety to sustaining her business within just three months of private coaching with me.When she first reached out, Elshia was freshly out of a counseling job and struggling with self-worth, visibility fears, and the weight of unprocessed childhood wounds. But something in her said yes. Yes to diving deeper. Yes to healing. Yes to finally building what she was meant to create.What followed was a transformational private container where we addressed her inner child wounding head-on, cleared emotional patterns tied to worthlessness and procrastination, and built the tangible business foundation she had always envisioned. In just three months, she landed long-term clients, created her freebie, grew her email list—and perhaps most importantly, rewired her nervous system and confidence from the inside out.If you've ever felt frozen by fear, unsure how to move forward, or held back by invisible emotional blocks, Elshia's story will remind you: it's never too late to choose yourself, heal at the root, and watch your purpose take flight. TODAY'S HIGHLIGHTS(00:00) Intro(00:55) In Today's Episode...

In this episode, Scott Seidenberg and Josh Towers dissect a range of MLB storylines, with a heavy focus on Juan Soto's troubled transition to the Mets. Soto's recent on-field behavior—particularly his lack of hustle on a hit off the Green Monster and only securing one hit across three games against the Yankees—sparked criticism. Mets manager Carlos Mendoza announced plans to speak with Soto about his effort. Towers emphasized how professional athletes are expected to hustle regardless of performance, especially when part of a new organization. He critiqued Soto's declining stats (.246 average in 2025, subpar defense) and called out the media narrative that built him up unrealistically since his 2020 breakout. He believes the $765 million valuation raised unsustainable expectations. Michael Kay, based on conversations with Mets and Yankees insiders, claimed Soto appears “glum” and without joy. Soto reportedly preferred to remain a Yankee, but his family urged him to accept the Mets' offer. Towers, who played for both franchises, praised the Yankees for their professionalism and structure, saying it fosters respect and accountability. In contrast, he noted that the Mets, while improving, still lack the Yankees' foundational stability. Scott and Josh then evaluated the NL East race. Seidenberg endorsed betting on the Phillies to win the division at +130, noting their strong veteran core (Harper, Schwarber, Wheeler) and manager Dave Dombrowski's history of bold moves. Josh echoed this but pointed out the Phillies' need for young talent infusion, something they've lacked in recent years. They also discussed the Braves' resurgence, who started 0-8 but have since gone 24-15, with key players like Max Fried returning. Shifting to the Dodgers, both hosts criticized Dave Roberts' pitching management. The team's constant injuries and overuse of bullpen arms have led to four consecutive home losses. Towers questioned the effectiveness of the organization's throwing programs and training strategies. Despite Yamamoto's reliability, the rest of the rotation, including Snell, Glasnow, and Kershaw, remains inconsistent or injured. Fried's Cy Young candidacy was explored in depth. With a 1.29 ERA and consistent dominance, Josh called him the clear front-runner. Other contenders like Robbie Ray, Hunter Brown, and Chris Bubik were noted, though Fried's consistency set him apart. On the offensive side, Pete Crow Armstrong's recent surge sparked MVP speculation, but Josh dismissed it due to his relatively weak OBP and limited consistency. Attention turned to the Texas Rangers, whose rotation (deGrom, Eovaldi, Mowley) and improving offense make them serious contenders. The coaching shift toward personalized, non-analytic-heavy hitting plans has improved their situational batting. They also discussed trade rumors including Bo Bichette, Kenley Jansen, and Sandy Alcantara potentially moving before the deadline. The Orioles and Rockies came under fire for poor development. The Rockies' minus-150 run differential led Scott to predict they might break the all-time worst record. Josh argued that both teams lack direction and accountability, especially with player growth and clubhouse culture. Lastly, home field advantage in 2025 has reached historic levels, with home teams winning 56.5% of games, the best rate since 2005. Betting trends show high returns for home favorites, and Seidenberg emphasized this is a year to follow such patterns. The hosts closed with MVP and Cy Young betting odds, a promo for Pregame.com, and a final note on the season's unpredictability and remaining opportunities. Learn more about your ad choices.

Today, we're joined by Sebastian Gehrmann, head of responsible AI in the Office of the CTO at Bloomberg, to discuss AI safety in retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) systems and generative AI in high-stakes domains like financial services. We explore how RAG, contrary to some expectations, can inadvertently degrade model safety. We cover examples of unsafe outputs that can emerge from these systems, different approaches to evaluating these safety risks, and the potential reasons behind this counterintuitive behavior. Shifting to the application of generative AI in financial services, Sebastian outlines a domain-specific safety taxonomy designed for the industry's unique needs. We also explore the critical role of governance and regulatory frameworks in addressing these concerns, the role of prompt engineering in bolstering safety, Bloomberg's multi-layered mitigation strategies, and vital areas for further work in improving AI safety within specialized domains.

How to have the conversations that are most difficult — and most important.Before you can have hard conversations with others, you need to have an honest conversation with yourself. That's the counterintuitive advice from Sheila Heen, who says our own internal narratives often derail our attempts at negotiation and conflict resolution."The first negotiation is actually a negotiation I have with myself about my own story," explains Heen, a Harvard Law School lecturer and co-author of Difficult Conversations: How to Discuss What Matters Most. When entering challenging interactions, she recommends a powerful shift where we consider that our perspective is only one side of the story. "If I can shift my purpose from convincing you of something to just understanding how you see it and why we might see it differently, that actually is more likely to generate a good conversation with less defensiveness for both of us."In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, Heen joins Matt Abrahams to explore effective communication in high-stakes situations. From giving and receiving feedback with her “ACE” framework (Appreciation, Coaching, and Evaluation) to recognizing the "degrees of difficulty" in disagreements, she offers practical strategies for having productive conversations even when emotions run high.Episode Reference Links:Sheila Heen Sheila's Books: Difficult Conversations / Thanks for the Feedback  Ep.144 Communicating Through Conflict: How to Get Along with AnyoneEp.136 The Art of Disagreeing Without Conflict: Navigating the Nuance  Connect:Premium Signup >>>> Think Fast Talk Smart PremiumEmail Questions & Feedback >>> hello@fastersmarter.ioEpisode Transcripts >>> Think Fast Talk Smart WebsiteNewsletter Signup + English Language Learning >>> FasterSmarter.ioThink Fast Talk Smart >>> LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTubeMatt Abrahams >>> LinkedInChapters:(00:00) - Introduction (01:36) - Managing Anxiety in Tough Conversations (04:15) - Why Emotions Matter (07:23) - Shifting the Story We Tell Ourselves (08:41) - Starting with the Real Issue (10:20) - Getting Unstuck in Conflict (13:18) - ACE: The Three Types of Feedback (16:20) - Making Feedback Actionable (18:40) - Finding Common Ground (20:17) - The Final Three Questions (27:32) - Conclusion    *****This episode is brought to you by Babbel.
