For decades, parents have been told to help their children get good grades, earn the right degree, and land a stable career. Yet... the roadmap is changing faster than anyone expected. In this episode, I explore one of the biggest shifts AI is bringing to the future of the workforce, and why the qualities that helped previous generations succeed may not be the ones that matter most for the next. If you've ever wondered how to prepare your child for a future that no one can predict, this conversation is for you.

Deron Stender has spent 24 years leading school districts, and one lesson stands above the rest: communication builds trust. Hear how early setbacks helped shape his belief that communication isn't just part of leadership - it's one of the most important leadership skills a superintendent can develop.Are you telling your community what's happening - or involving them in the conversation? Deron shares a simple mindset shift that's helped him gain buy-in around difficult financial decisions and strengthen relationships across his district.Every leader needs someone who will tell them the truth. Learn how Deron found a trusted staff partner who isn't afraid to say, "This doesn't make sense," and why that honest feedback has made all the difference in his district's communications.Small districts may not have a dedicated communicator, but they can't afford to ignore communication. Deron explains why investing in communication training, professional networks, and relationship-building can have a lasting impact on your school district's success.SPECIAL GUESTDeron StenderSuperintendentCreston Community Schools, IowaEmail: dstender@crestonschools.org Website: https://www.crestonschools.org Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100048656033523 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ccsd_panthers/ X: https://x.com/CCSD_Panthers USEFUL INFORMATIONLearn more about your local School Public Relations Association here.Order your copy of my book Social Media for Schools: Proven Storytelling Strategies & Ideas to Celebrate Your Students & Staff - While Keeping Your Sanity now!Interested in our membership program?

Positioning is quietly becoming the skill that separates people who stand out in UX and product from people who get left behind, especially now that AI can build almost anything in seconds. In this episode, Sarah makes the case for why the ability to build fast is no longer the advantage it used to be, and why knowing what's worth building, and framing it well, matters more than ever.Sarah traces this back to a belief she used to hold herself, that good work speaks for itself. It doesn't. She shares how she avoided a required public speaking class in college, only to realize later that the real skill was never about sounding polished or the delivery. It was about the thinking that happens before you say a single word, or type a single sentence, or design a single sales page.She also shares a recent story from her own business, where a team she hired to build an AI tool ignored the detailed context she gave them and rushed straight into building, producing a prototype that missed the mark entirely. She ended up building it herself, faster, because she had the clarity they skipped in the process. That story becomes the jumping off point for two ideas Sarah argues will define who stands out in UX and product going forward, knowing what's worth building, and framing the work so people actually say yes to it.If you've ever felt invisible in a meeting, passed over for a promotion, or like your UX job search ideas keep getting ignored, this episode reframes that feeling as a positioning problem rather than a skills problem, and gives a concrete way to start fixing it this week.Topics Discussed✅ Why "good work speaks for itself" is a myth that's quietly keeping talented people invisible✅ The real reason some ideas get funded, approved, or hired for in UX, and it's rarely because they were the best idea✅ A story about hiring a team to build an AI tool, and what happened when they skipped the thinking and rushed straight to building✅ Why knowing what's worth building is about to matter more than how fast you can build it✅ A real example of a stakeholder update that got buried, and the exact rewrite that would have gotten a faster yes✅ Why leading with the "so what" instead of the "what" changes how quickly people respond to your ideas✅ How the same positioning skill applies just as much to your UX job search, your portfolio, and a promotion conversation as it does to a pitch✅ A simple challenge to try this week on your next email, Slack message, or updateLinks & Resources
Should a Leader Empower You or Validate You? The Missing Skill: Mastering Autonomous Self-Regulation.Are the mentors, coaches, and spiritual leaders you follow actually expanding your capacity for personal autonomy, or are they keeping you hooked on a loop of emotional reassurance alone? In this episode, we dive deep into a critical blind spot that can take place in the personal growth, coaching, and spiritual leadership industries: the profound difference between true biological empowerment and external validation for soothing—while also pointing out grounded-in-reality, practical solutions for behavioral growth and emotional maturing.When we rely on a purely emotional validating system, it acts as a temporary emotional band-aid that doesn't strengthen your window of tolerance or lead to personal or spiritual growth. True leadership and self-sovereignty require building autonomous self-regulating nervous system capacity, also known as restorative embodiment and resilience. By bridging evolutionary cognitive science—like the Yale Baby Study—with spiritual perspectives and mystic soul age group knowledge, we look at the missing leadership skill of Autonomous Self-Regulation by some personal growth and spiritual ascension figures in the field.We talk about discerning affective realism and narrative distortions, moving out of codependent growth containers, and applying a practical somatic-mindset strategy using Level 1 and Level 2 Micro-Habit protocols to stabilize your system from a place of absolute structural wholeness and pursue your self-led personal growth and spiritual ascension.
This episode we talked about one of the most important life skills that nobody really teaches us: how to fail well. We shared why failure isn't something to fear, but something to embrace, and how our biggest setbacks often become the moments that shape us the most. However... one show DOES teach us this and that's Gabbys Dollhouse! During a segment of this episode we had the pleasure of sitting down with the star of Gabbys Dollhouse, Laila Lockhart Kraner, to talk about a puppy-riffic addition coming to the Dollhouse. Watch Gabby and her little sister Doozie, played by Celestina Harris, in their first adventure together in an all-new season of #GabbysDollhouse, debuting September 14 only on Netflix! Love you guys!

Why do so many people change for a season and then go right back to who they were? In this episode of The Impossible Life Podcast, Nick Surface and Garrett Unclebach break down why lasting transformation is so much harder than a 30-day challenge, a motivational burst, or a new program. For Christian men, real change starts with belief: God has a plan for your life, and part of that plan is that you would grow, develop, and become different. You are not locked into who you have been, what people said about you, or the patterns you keep repeating.Nick and Garrett unpack the mindset behind change and why so many men get trapped by phrases like “I'm not like that” or “I can't change.” Following Jesus begins with faith, and transformation works the same way. You have to believe change is possible before you will ever pay the price required to become new. God's purpose for your life includes sanctification, growth, obedience, and development, but that does not mean He does everything for you. God is sovereign, but man is responsible. There is a part only God can do, and there is a part every man has to choose.This episode gives a clear framework for why men stay stuck: sin, skill, and suffering. Sin can chain you to old patterns. Lack of skill can keep you from knowing what to do. Refusal to suffer can keep you from enduring long enough to see fruit. If you want to grow in faith, purpose, discipline, masculinity, leadership, marriage, business, health, or your walk with Jesus, you have to stop looking for easy and start embracing the process. Change comes when a man obeys what God has made clear, develops the skills required, and refuses to grow weary in doing good until the harvest comes.Get With NuWave Home Lenders By Clicking HereGet a Free 7 Day Trial On The Tailored Training App By Clicking HereJoin a group of likeminded Impossible Life listeners in our FREE Skool community by clicking here.Get the Purpose Playbook by clicking hereGet the FREE Basic Discipline Training 30 Day Program by clicking hereJoin us in Mindset Mastery by clicking hereLevel up your nutrition with IDLife by clicking hereGET IN TOUCHSocial Media - @theimpossiblelifeEmail - info@theimpossible.life
Karen McMahon sits down with Brent Perkins, founder of 3x Bold and director of leadership at Front Row Dads, to unpack a pattern she sees constantly in her work with high-achieving men going through divorce: they know how to control themselves, but they were never taught capacity, the ability to stay present in emotional, messy, or uncertain moments without fixing or shutting down. Brent built seven and eight-figure companies, led global teams, and did everything right on paper, until his marriage ended and forced him to confront the patterns his success had never solved. In this conversation, he and Karen explore why divorce becomes a mirror that reveals exactly where a man was performing instead of feeling, controlling instead of trusting, and fixing instead of listening. Together they break down what capacity actually means, energy, attention, and presence, and why building it changes everything from a marriage to a business to a relationship with a teenager. Brent shares the men's work he's done through Front Row Dads, why giving advice almost always makes things worse, and how learning to sit in silence with his own daughter transformed their relationship. He also introduces two practical tools listeners can use immediately: the 60-second timeout and the shift from expectations to agreements, both simple, both surprisingly powerful. This episode is for any man who has felt the ground shift beneath him during a divorce and sensed there was a deeper pattern at play, and for any woman who wants to understand what that experience looks like from the inside. Karen McMahon is the founder of Journey Beyond Divorce and a high conflict divorce strategist who has spent years helping men move through high-conflict divorce with clarity, steadiness, and strength.

Lughnasadh is a time to celebrate not only the first harvest from the land, but also the gifts, talents, and abilities you have cultivated within yourself. In honor of Lugh, a deity of skill, mastery, leadership, and craft, Laylla and Chelle explore the talents we are born with, the skills we have earned through practice, and the quiet forms of wisdom we often forget to recognize as magick.What have you been growing within yourself? Which abilities have ripened through years of practice, mistakes, persistence, and experience? The witches talk about honoring the work it took to become who you are, giving thanks to the people who helped teach and shape you, and remembering that your gifts can nourish both your own life and the community around you.From the overflowing abundance of late summer to the first whispers of autumn, this episode celebrates what is ready to be gathered, what still needs tending, and what should be preserved as seed for the future. Rather than focusing heavily on the history and lore of the sabbat, which we have covered in previous Lughnasadh episodes linked in the show notes, this year we are honoring Lugh by recognizing the skills and magick we have grown within ourselves.Join us between the spokes of the Wheel and take a moment to celebrate your own harvest. You have worked hard to become good at the things you do, witch. It is time to claim them.22: Magick of Lammas, the First Harvest72 The Witches Try: Corn Dollies and Poppets74: Bread, Brews, & Blessings: A witches Guide to Lughansadh125: Lughnasadh 2025 - Sacrifice is good and all, but have you heard of self-care?Got a question?

There's nothing like numbers to show the enormous differences between the elite golfers and, you know, most of us. In this episode, Mark and Lou open up the stats database to show just how good the best golfers are, and how much the average amateur is playing almost a different game altogether. The point is this: learning to play boring golf is, for most of us, a significant step forward in our enjoyment of the game.If you have a question you want covered on the pod, please submit here: https://www.hackitoutgolf.com/contact/Listeners can also leave us a voicemail! https://www.hackitoutgolf.com/voicemail/Where to find us:Mark Crossfield's weekly newsletter: https://www.crossfieldgolf.com/subscribeMark Crossfield on Twitter: https://twitter.com/4golfonlineMark Crossfield on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/4golfonlineLou Stagner's weekly newsletter: https://newsletter.loustagnergolf.com/subscribeLou Stagner on Twitter: https://twitter.com/LouStagnerGreg Chalmers on Twitter: https://twitter.com/GregChalmersPGAThe Hack It Out Golf Podcast on Twitter: https://twitter.com/HackItOutGolfSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

☀️ BEST of Summer SeriesThis episode is part of our BEST of Summer Series, where I'm revisiting some of the most impactful, most downloaded, and most shared episodes from the Not Your Average Autism Mom podcast.Originally released as Episode 227, They're Not Ignoring You: It's a Skill Gap is one of those episodes that changes how parents see one of autism's most misunderstood challenges.Whether you're listening for the first time or coming back for a refresher, I hope this episode gives you exactly what you need today.Summer gives us something we don't always have during the school year...Time.Time to slow down, connect, and intentionally build the skills our children need most.If you've ever felt like your child ignores you, doesn't respond when you call their name, or seems completely focused on objects, screens, or their own interests, this episode is for you.Because here's the truth:They're not ignoring you.They're missing a skill.Attention to people is a foundational skill that many autistic children need to be intentionally taught. And the wonderful news is... skills can be built.In this episode, Shannon explains why attention to people is so challenging for many autistic children and shares practical, age-specific strategies you can begin using today.You'll learn:• Why attention to people is a learned skill—not a behavior problem• Why many autistic children naturally attend to objects before people• How autism and ADHD together can make attention even more challenging• Practical strategies for toddlers, school-age children, teens, and young adults• Everyday ways to build connection without pressure or power struggles• Why meeting your child where they are is always the best place to beginOne of the biggest takeaways from this episode is this:Connection comes before correction.When we understand the "why" behind our child's behavior, we stop taking it personally and start teaching the skills they need to succeed.
Sean Foley has coached some of the biggest names in golf, but this conversation goes far beyond the golf swing.Sean joins Baden Schaff and Alex Clapp for one of the deepest discussions we've ever had on coaching, performance and what it really takes to help people improve.They dive into Sean's work with Tom Kim, Lydia Ko and the next generation of elite players, why he's more convinced than ever that skill beats dogma, and how three decades on Tour have completely changed the way he teaches.Along the way, Sean shares his thoughts on: Why caring is still the greatest coaching advantage. The difference between teaching technique and building skill. How he helped Tom Kim rediscover his best golf. Why practice should be harder than competition. The biggest coaching mistakes he made early in his career. AI, technology and whether coaches should actually be worried. Confidence vs competence. Building resilient athletes who can thrive for decades. Whether you're a golf coach, an athlete, a business leader or simply fascinated by high performance, this is a masterclass from one of the game's great coaching minds.Sean is thoughtful, brutally honest and endlessly curious—and this conversation is packed with ideas you'll be thinking about long after it finishes.
Tax season looked different in 2026, and it's not just volume. In this episode, Damien Greathead and Penny Breslin unpack the real AI story inside accounting firms: a live test of Juno saved 25% of prep time, clients are submitting documents faster than ever, and AI meeting assistants are replacing manual notetaking. But the bigger conversation is about critical thinking. As AI handles more routine work, who's making sure your team can still spot the anomaly? Identify the conflict? Give a client a real perspective? Damien shares how Moneypenny is gamifying judgment, hiring non-accountants, and rebuilding firm roles around advisory rather than compliance. This is a practitioner episode — real tools, real results, real friction. If you're building or scaling a CAS practice, this one is essential listening.Thank you to our sponsors MoneyPenny, LLC.

You can feel completely overwhelmed by your business and be doing really well in it at the exact same time. Both of those things get to be true — and becoming someone who can hold them together, instead of letting the hard one run the show, is not a nice-to-have. It is essential to growing anything of your own.In this episode I'm getting into why our brains are wired to grab the difficult thing and hold onto it — the negativity bias, the default settings we all come installed with. And nobody is supposed to stay on the factory settings. You're supposed to customize. You're supposed to install the upgrade. Being someone who can experience many things at once is not a personality trait you either have or you don't — it IS the upgrade, and you have to install it on purpose (there's no button for it, which I know is annoying). And I'm telling you about a retreat I almost talked myself out of going to, what happened when I went anyway, and the very big way I got reminded of something I teach all of you constantly.There's a whole part of this about the murky, messy middle of building something — where you don't have clarity yet, where the thing you've committed to is expensive and terrifying and you said YES to it long before you knew if anyone was even coming — and why none of that means something has gone wrong. That's just what comes with building a business that's a creative expression of who you are. The overwhelm was never the problem — letting it win is. And I get into why I keep intentionally putting myself in rooms with the kind of people who are doing the same thing, and what that connection actually does for a business.In this episode you'll hear:Why your brain is wired to hold onto the hard thing — and what it costs you in your business when you let that be the only thing you can seeWhat it actually means to hold two opposite truths at the same time — and why this is a capacity you build, not something you're born withWhy feeling overwhelmed is not evidence that something has gone wrong — and how to keep it from making your decisions for youWhat happens when you leave the house and get in a room with real people — and why community and connection do more for your business than another week alone at your laptopWhy staying the same is so much more comfortable than changing — and what separates the small percentage of people who are actually willing to do something differentWhat it takes to commit to something big before you have any proof it will work — and why that discomfort doesn't go away no matter how many times you've done itIf you're a coach, teacher, or service-based business owner in the middle of something big right now and the overwhelm is LOUD, this one is your reminder that it can be loud AND you can still be doing exactly the right thing at the very same time.Passionate & Prosperous LIVE! is October 16th & 17th in New York City — two days in the room with the kind of people who want what you want.

Smart Agency Masterclass with Jason Swenk: Podcast for Digital Marketing Agencies
Would you like access to our advanced agency training for FREE? https://www.agencymastery360.com/training Are you willing to give up the work you built the agency around in order to build the agency itself? Today's featured guest recounts how he and his partner built their agency after a decade working together at the Oprah Winfrey Show. Fifteen years in, they are still figuring out what the founder job actually is versus what they have always been good at. He talks through how the transition from doing to leading actually happened, what it cost him creatively and personally to step out of directing, and what he means when he says that making the video was always the easy part. Brett Singer is a co-founder and principal at Bottle Rocket Media, a digital agency based in Chicago specializing in video production, motion graphics, SEO, paid media, and AI search optimization. He and his business partner Dan Fisher both worked at Harpo Studios on the Oprah Winfrey Show for over a decade before launching Bottle Rocket in 2011. The agency built its initial client base entirely from the network that came out of Harpo when the show ended, then invested heavily in their own SEO to shift from outbound to inbound. Brett is now focused on business development, vision, and team culture. In this episode, we'll discuss: Letting go of the work you love for the future of the agency When the business no longer needs you The hardest part of running an agency Subscribe Apple | Spotify | iHeart Radio Sponsors and Resources E2M Solutions: Today's episode of the Smart Agency Masterclass is sponsored by E2M Solutions, a web design and development agency that has provided white-label services for the past 10 years to agencies all over the world.

The Work You Love Is Not the Work the Business Needs From You Brett spent years at Harpo perfecting motion design and later started Bottle Rocket partly because he wanted to keep doing it. It was work he greatly enjoyed. Unfortunately, he realized that was the wrong job for him, not from a strategic decision but from simple math: when he was in the edit suite, no one was finding the next client. The business did not care how good he was with a camera. It needed someone holding the relationship and the vision. Letting go of the work he was trained for and genuinely good at did not happen cleanly. He describes it as kicking and screaming and slowly, and that is probably the most honest description of how most founders navigate this. In this case, the difference for him was having his partner, which meant there was always someone to hold the other accountable to the right job. Solo founders have to engineer that accountability differently. But the outcome is the same: the work you loved getting you here is eventually the work that stops the business from going further. The Identity Gap When the Business No Longer Needs You Stepping into the CEO role can feel like loss before it feels like freedom. When the business no longer needs you for the thing you spent a decade mastering, there is a real identity gap. The hours that used to be filled with something you were visibly good at are now filled with work that is harder to measure and slower to produce visible results. Brett went through his own version of this as he transitioned away from directing. He still goes to set occasionally and feels the pull. He made peace with it not by letting go of the creative part of himself, but by redirecting it: into the sales process, into how the agency presents itself, into the culture he is building. The creative instinct did not go away. It found a different channel. That reframe, from "I gave up my craft" to "I applied my craft differently," is what makes the CEO stage sustainable instead of a sustained identity crisis. Making the Widget Was Always the Easy Part Brett is clear about something that sounds counterintuitive until you have run an agency for a few years: the actual service delivery, producing the video, building the campaign, running the edit, is the easiest part of running an agency. The hard part is everything surrounding it. Hiring. Culture. Vision. Business development. Managing the people who manage the work. None of that was taught. All of it had to be built from scratch by people whose entire prior training was in making the thing. This is the reason most agency founders stay stuck in the work longer than they should. It is the thing they know. Every hour in the edit bay is an hour that feels productive and measurable. Every hour in a hiring conversation or a strategy session feels less certain and harder to justify. The founders who scale are the ones who learn to value the less comfortable work, not because it becomes easier, but because they understand what it makes possible.

Everyone's saying the real estate market is “down,” “slow,” and “impossible” for first-time buyers—but is that the whole truth? In this episode of The Session with Londa and David, we talk candidly about what a “down market” really is, how top agents are adapting, and why your relationships and habits will matter more than headlines in the months ahead. 3 Business Takeaways: 1. Skill and Effort Matter More in a Slow Market When transaction volume drops, average effort no longer works. You need stronger sales skills, deeper service to clients, and a willingness to “do what you'd never do before” (like rolling up your sleeves to solve problems on-site). 2. Down Markets Reward Long-Term Thinkers Professionals who've built referrals, multiple income “oars in the water,” and good money habits are less shaken by slowdowns. A rough month or year hurts less when you've planned for cycles instead of assuming endless growth. 3. Connections Create Opportunities (and Stability) In uncertain markets, isolation is a liability. Networking, genuine conversations, and community—dinners, broker opens, deeper talks—lead to both emotional support and new business. As David says, “You've got to circulate to percolate.” #DownMarket #RealEstateBusiness #RelationshipMarketing #SalesMindset #TheSessionWithLondaAndDavid

Have an idea or tip? Send us a text!Most businesses don't fail because the owner lacks talent. They stall because the owner becomes the product, the manager, the decision desk, and the emergency contact all at once. That's when growth turns into stress, customers feel delays, and the company becomes impossible to sell. We're joined by Brad Sugars, founder of ActionCOACH and author of "Pulling Profits Out of a Hat," to get brutally practical about what separates a skill-based job from a scalable, sellable business asset.Sugars and The Dead Pixels Society Podcast host Gary Pageau talk profit margins over vanity revenue, and why you should know exactly what it costs to keep the doors open per hour. Sugars breaks down the mindset shift from “I'm great at my craft” to “I'm building a machine that delivers outcomes,” including the trap of owner dependency and how systems, documentation, and packaging make a business transferable. If you're in a creative or service industry like photography, printing, or local retail, the conversation on recurring revenue hits hard: one-off customers create volatility, while the right customer model can create month-in, month-out stability.Sugars also digs into leadership stages and hiring: Why early growth needs doers, why the next stage needs managers, and why real scale demands thinkers and an executive team. He lays out the clearest signs you've become the bottleneck, how to set goals that actually force growth, and why hiring people better than you is the only way to stop limiting your company.

Most coaches assume clients are stuck because they lack awareness, motivation, clarity, or the right strategy. But in many cases, that's not what's actually happening. In this episode, we break down one of the most misunderstood dynamics in coaching and psychology: secondary gains. These are the hidden, unconscious benefits a client receives from staying in a pattern they consciously say they want to change. You'll learn why clients can fully understand their behavior and still not change, and why increasing motivation, accountability, or strategy often fails when a deeper psychological function is being met. We explore how secondary gains show up in coaching containers, including patterns like avoidance, procrastination, emotional withdrawal, perfectionism, and relational resignation as well as why these behaviors persist even when clients are highly self-aware. You'll also learn how to distinguish between true resistance and protective behavioral payoff, and how to shift your coaching from surface-level intervention into deeper behavioral and nervous system–informed change work. This episode covers: What secondary gains are in psychology and behavioral science Why clients stay stuck even when they "know better" How protective payoff systems override motivation The difference between resistance and function Why strategy changes fail when underlying needs are unmet How secondary gains show up in real coaching containers A case example of resignation in dating and relational trauma How to help clients meet underlying needs in healthier ways If you are a coach, therapist, or practitioner who works with clients who "get it but don't do it," this episode will shift how you understand behavior change at a fundamental level.

She also explains the difference between hurting someone and disappointing someone, why living in alignment with your values matters more than meeting everyone else's expectations, and how saying "no" can help you discover your purpose and build healthier relationships.If you've ever struggled with guilt, people-pleasing, codependency, boundary setting, or the fear of letting others down, this episode will help you see disappointment in a completely new way.In this episode, you'll learn:Why disappointing people feels unsafe after emotional abuseThe difference between rebelling against someone and disappointing someoneHow to stop people-pleasing without feeling guiltyWhy healthy boundaries often disappoint othersHow to reclaim your own authority and live more authenticallyWhy someone else's expectations are not your responsibilityIf you're ready to stop living for everyone else and start trusting yourself, this episode is for you.Set up your Free Call Today!

In an ever-changing marketplace, career currency won't be job titles or resumes, says Angela Finlay. “It's the skills we bring to the table that will be the most critical piece” of career development and growth.Angela is a Chief Human Capital Strategist, Fractional and Interim Chief HR Officer with over 25 years leading talent strategy inside Fortune 150 enterprises, global organizations, and growth stage companies. She is the author of Skill Stacking: Taking Ownership of Your Career in Changing Times.In this conversation with Daniel and Peter, Angela discusses the importance of individual skills in the age of AI–and why organizations need to broaden how they look at hiring new talent. “It's not just job titles,” she says. “I want to know everything I can about you and what you've done and projects and volunteer things you've done and all of these other outside activities that allow me to start to look at you from a skill level perspective.”Tune in to learn:The five types of skills to stackThe simple tool to help you recognize and articulate your skillsWhy the gig economy is a good thing–and how leaders can lean into it effectivelyAngela suggests that anyone can start to contribute to creating a skills-based marketplace by intentionally listing skills developed across every area of life.

Writer Rachel Cusk asked: "Can a Woman who is an Artist Ever Just Be an Artist?" (NYT). Our host, contemporary art writer and curator Joana P. R. Neves, turns this question of gender and skill on its head: can men be (good) artists? Cusk's book "Parade" (2024) is this Art & Literature special episode's book of choice.Joana embarks on an art and feminism quest: is gender a prison? Or is it the forceful power of the patriarchy? She is helped by living and fictional contemporary artists and writers, intersectional feminism, and philosophy of art via Vilem Flusser and his "theory of gestures".Did you enjoy the episode?

The famous artist Georg Baselitz, who passed away this year, is a central figure in Cusk's book "Parade". Was he a product or an instigator of the system? And what is the patriarchal system?

Why do so many high achievers still struggle to feel fulfilled? Entrepreneur Jason Watson joins Kelly Siegel for a powerful conversation about growing up in poverty, overcoming childhood trauma, building a successful business, and discovering that external success doesn't automatically heal internal pain. Together, they explore the connection between survival mode, relentless ambition, emotional wounds, burnout, leadership, and why many driven men confuse productivity with purpose. What begins as a conversation about business quickly becomes an honest discussion about divorce, fatherhood, emotional availability, surrender, and learning to be present instead of constantly chasing the next achievement.

Send us Fan MailMost people think the greatest threat to a relationship is poor communication.I don't.I think it's poor character.Because communication doesn't stop you from cheating.Communication doesn't stop you from lying.Communication doesn't stop you from crossing boundaries you know you shouldn't cross.Character does.Somewhere along the way, we've become more impressed by being desired than by being dependable.We've normalized betrayal.We've celebrated temptation.We've treated integrity like it's old-fashioned.But here's the truth...Every decision you make is shaping two things:Your future...and the person you're becoming.The scariest part about betrayal isn't what it does to someone else.It's what it slowly does to you.Because one day, your looks will fade.The attention will fade.The excitement will fade.But your character...will still be introducing you long after everything else is gone.Support the show
Are your annual competencies actually measuring proficiency, or just checking boxes? This week, Bobby and Jason sit down with SPD educator Tanya Cambise for an honest conversation about what annual competencies should look like in Sterile Processing. Tanya explains why competency verification isn't about checking another box; it's about ensuring your team can confidently and consistently perform every task in your workflows. From using quality data and daily observations to spotting process drift and targeting high-risk skills, she shares how departments can move beyond the same return demonstrations year after year and focus education where it matters most. If you're ready to rethink annual competencies in your SPD, this conversation is a great place to start!

Cliff Wilson is a physique coach with over 16 years of experience working with bodybuilders and physique athletes of every level, including 24 world champions and the current natural bodybuilding world champion. Getting better doesn't make hard things feel easier—it makes you capable of doing more. Cliff Wilson explains the mental skills behind elite physiques, why context beats internet absolutes, and how great coaches turn research, experience, and failure into better decisions. Expect to learn why impulse control makes up 20–50% of physique coaching, why you have to learn to dribble before you try to dunk, why practitioners and social media commentators are not the same thing, why getting fitter never makes a true max effort feel easier, how context (not absolutes) explains wildly different carb intakes between world-class physique athletes, why most advanced bodybuilders eventually land back on a bro split, and what separates “collectors” of credentials from coaches who can actually integrate and apply what they know—and much more.

The skill no one knew you needed: how to emotionally regulate while doing a task. It's simple yet difficult. And undiagnosed neurodivergent parents were even less likely to be able to help on some fronts, if they never learned how either.This is a skill you can practice (which the end of the episode covers), and there are many AuDHD factors complicating it for us. Even with different emotional processing or experience, it's still possible to take care of yourself during an activity.But it requires slowing down and being willing to stop if your brain or body are too triggered.Over time, this builds to being able to do more, more easily, with less stress. It is very, very worth it p.s. the "facilitator" example was MY experience in groups, not how I want people to think about me leading groups ;)Mentioned in episode:2 short vids explaining the Wall of Awful & strategies for going through & over it by Jessica McCabe of How to ADHD150 The Wall of Awful with Brendan MahanAuDHD Flourishing resources:Transcript Doc (often a few weeks behind, but we do catch up!)Mattia's NewsletterLike Your Brain community space (Patreon/Discord) Hosted on Acast.

Brians Questions: Hello! I recently got into woodworking in part after being inspired by finding a local lumber yard and not being beholden to the big orange box. I've realized my next step is to figure out a planing method - the wood I buy is rough sawn, and I'm not in a position to buy a planer or jointer given the size of my garage shop/price constraints. I've done some research on hand planes and plan to start experimenting with some used/refurbished ones. Do you think this is a reasonable method for small/medium projects (bookshelves and tables would be largest I'd do), or should I jump right to other methods like a router or electric planer. Thanks! Ryan Zach from Minnesota here. I heard you're in need of questions, so I figured I'd come to the rescue. My question is regarding developing and learning new techniques and skills in the shop. You guys have previously made the suggestion that when trying to learn new skills, the best approach is to take on a project which incorporates one new skill (the one you would like to learn) versus diving into a project that's going to involve several unfamiliar skills. While I think that's a great approach, my question is: how do I know when it is time to move on to another new skill? For example, if I decide I want to learn how to use dovetails, how many projects in a row should I spend focusing on that technique before progressing to learning another new one? Should I keep at it until I feel that I've mastered dovetails, or should I just practice it until I feel like I have a firm understanding of the process? Thanks again for all of your expertise and your dedication to the woodworking community at large. I eagerly anticipate each new episode. I hope all of your projects are doing well, and I hope you are doing even better. Guys Questions: Hello, I'm really enjoying the podcast—it's become one of my favorites to listen to. I appreciate how genuine and down-to-earth you all are. I'm currently building a small part-time crafting business using a Onefinity CNC and an xTool laser. For software, I use LightBurn and Carveco Maker+. I recently heard Guy talking about using his laser, and I think I've also heard you discuss CNC work in past episodes. I was curious if either of you have any advice for laser engraving softwoods like pine. I often get blotchy or inconsistent results because of the varying grain density, and I'm always looking for ways to improve my finished products. On the CNC side, I'd love to hear your thoughts on workholding methods. My spoilboard has dovetail tracks, so I use homemade clamps quite a bit. I also use double-sided tape regularly. Surprisingly, the foam double-sided tape from Dollar Tree (three rolls for $1.25) has worked far better for me than some of the CNC-specific tapes I've tried, which didn't seem to hold very well. For two-sided projects, I've also made a few fixture boards with dowel-pin locators, and those have been a huge help with alignment. I've learned that there's always something new to learn in this hobby, and I'd love to hear your thoughts and experiences. Thanks for the great content, and keep up the awesome work! Have a great day! Kevin I'm building a round table with an x-frame base. The top 60” in diameter and 1 1/4” thick hickory. The x-frame is 37” across. I also plan on adding an apron about 3 1/2” tall to the table. I have heard more cons than pros on c-channel but would like your guys opinion on this. I definitely can't have this thing droop. Also, while I have your attention, how would you attach the apron to the top taking into account wood movement. Thanks for having a great podcast. You have helped me a number of times in the past with valuable advice. Tom Huys Questions: I have an old park bench that I rebuilt three years ago using white oak. I applied 3 coats of Minwax spar urethane over the wood, sanding with 240 grit sandpaper between coats. Now, after 3 years, the finish has failed and the wood has noticeable splintering, peeling, and bowing. While I think I can salvage the wood on the back with sanding and refinishing, the seat slats will need to be replaced. I wanted to use quarter sawn white oak, but my lumber supplier only had rift sawn white oak in stock at the time. I feel this will be adequate, but would appreciate your opinions regarding wood choice. My main question is about finishing: will I be further ahead to use a penetrating oil first, such as tung oil, before the spar urethane? Will this add to the longevity of the wood? I realize that the sun and the elements will degrade any finish over time. Thanks for what I would consider to be the top woodworking podcast available! Kurt Thank you for all your good work. As in a previous question, I am the one who makes furniture for immigrants. In your last podcast you discussed the importance of color match and grain pattern when assembling a table top. I am experimenting with a 3rd: "Feel", and would like to know your take on this. I am working with cherry so it easy to manage. I find that commercial furniture finishes, particularly on table tops are so smooth that if you close your eyes and pass your fingers over them, you can't tell it was made of wood. I have felt that the "texture" and feel of a finished top should reflect the purpose of the piece. A "boot bench" ( I live in Maine) was prepped to have a deliberate grainy feel, a hallway table was hand planed with an LN 5 set to produce medium shavings to smooth it somewhat, and finally a coffee top was hand planed to fine shavings and then finished with 1000 grit sandpaper that left a top almost glass like. The first two were finished with shellac and some wax. The last was finished with shellac and "Tried and True". Question: do you vary the prep before finishing a piece in order to convey a different "feel" to the top based on customer preference, or purpose of the piece? Do you think "feel' has a role as do "color match" and "grain"? Do you take this into consideration when doing your preps? thanks for reading this far, John Vogt Falmouth ME
Send us Fan MailWhat if communication were treated as a procedure, something we train for and get feedback on, just like an intubation? In this episode of Neo News, Eli Cahan talks with Dr. Jessica Fry of Northwestern University and Lurie Children's Hospital about her NeoReviews piece, "Recognizing Communication as a Procedural Skill in Neonatology." Dr. Fry shares the personal loss that shaped her career, the ethical stakes of getting family communication right, and how trauma-informed care can guide something as simple as how we address parents on rounds. They discuss the critical first 48 hours after admission and how simulation-based training can build real skill over time. A candid look at a skill every NICU provider uses daily, and how we can all get better at it.

What if dying is actually a skill? And what if most of us are completely unprepared for the one experience that is absolutely guaranteed to happen? This week we sit down with Darnella Ford, award-winning author, trauma facilitator, and restorative guide, whose twenty-year journey into the non-physical began not with a spiritual calling, but with a breakup, a depression she couldn't shake, and a night of breathwork that sent her flying through a black void at incalculable speed. What followed changed everything she thought she knew about life, death, consciousness, and what is waiting on the other side of that final breath. In this episode we explore:Why dying requires a specific kind of surrender, and why practicing it while you're still alive might be the most important thing you ever doWhat actually happens to your consciousness the moment you leave your bodyWhether your deceased loved ones are still around, still aware, and what they are doing right nowWhy the death experience is completely customized to your own belief systemHow the life review works, and why it dissolves the illusion of separation once and for allWhy the question isn't how to get out of the body, but how to actually be in itThe one thing Darnella wants you to do tomorrow morning before you reach for your phonePlus, Darnella shares the devastating personal loss that became the beating heart of her latest book, and the question she spent four years answering because of it.
