HT2602 - Stop Stockpiling Skills and Start Doing The problem with learning new tools is that it can be so abstract and intellectual. Sure, it's handy to have some photographic technique in your tool bag, but so much learning is about some nebulous potential that it never becomes deep learning, remaining an idea never brought to fruition. Do you learn so that someday you can do something? Or are you trying to do something and need to learn how in order to complete it? These are two entirely different approaches.

The Coding-Is-My-Value Trap: For years, we've treated the ability to write code as the flagship skill of software engineering. It's concrete, it's teachable, it's the thing big box stores sell kits for. But conflating "what I enjoy about the job" with "what I'm actually valuable for" is dangerously reductive — and AI is now exposing that gap. The Skills You've Been Discounting: Domain expertise, systems thinking, risk and bottleneck analysis, organizational design, tech-lead-level sequencing of work, relational skills that unblock hard moments in a company's life. These have always been where a lot of your real value lived. You probably just weren't writing them down. The Three-Part Framework — Valuable, Durable, Transferable: A skill worth investing in hits as many of these as possible. Valuable means it meets a clear business need. Durable means it survives industry shifts. Transferable means it applies across domains and scales up as you grow more senior. What "Durable" Actually Means: Ask yourself: what would have to change for this skill to become obsolete? Coding, on its own, has a lower durability answer than it used to. Relationship building, architectural thinking, and the ability to reason about complexity require much bigger shifts before they stop mattering. Transferability Is Vertical, Not Just Lateral: Don't just ask whether a skill moves across industries. Ask whether it keeps paying off as you move into more senior, higher-leverage roles. Soft skills, systems thinking, and mental models like compound interest compound themselves the further up you go. Episode Homework: Make your own list. Which of your skills are valuable, durable, and transferable? Every engineer's list looks different — and the ones you've been quietly discounting are often the ones that matter most going forward.

In this solo episode, Faisal breaks down what might be the biggest opportunity Muslims have ever had in the modern world. For years, we've been told: "Work for yourself so you can protect your time, your salah, and your income." But for most people… that always felt out of reach. Not anymore. Faisal dives into the rise of AI and "vibe coding" — where you can now build real apps, tools, and businesses without knowing how to code… or even being "technical." He shares: Why this moment is different from anything before How Muslims can use this shift to take control of their income The exact mindset shift needed to actually start Real examples (including how Freshly Grounded grew massively using AI tools) Why most people are overthinking it — and missing the window This isn't a "get rich quick" talk. It's a wake-up call. A reminder that we're living through a rare moment where: Skills are no longer a barrier Money is no longer a barrier And opportunity is wide open The question is… will you take it?

Welcome back to Truth, Lies & Work, the award-winning workplace podcast where behavioural science meets workplace culture. This week, we're unpacking the "human" skills needed for an AI-driven future, a bizarre experiment in digital leadership at Meta, and whether the "loudest" person in the room is actually the best person to lead it.

Most people think the biggest threat to their future is artificial intelligence. But what if the real risk is an untrained human mind?In this episode of the Kwik Brain podcast, I sit down with my co-founder and CEO, Alexis Bank, for one of the most important conversations we have had on the show.We talk about what human intelligence really means in a world where AI can remember more, produce faster, and scale almost everything. And we explore why the people who thrive in the next decade will not just be the ones with access to the best tools, but the ones who know how to think, adapt, decide, and create at a higher level.Alexis shares why AI should not replace your mind, but reveal where your mind needs training. We talk about the danger of reactive thinking, the difference between habits and real thought, and why metacognition, learning how to think about your thinking, may be one of the most valuable skills of the future.In this episode, you will learn: ✅ Why AI is only as powerful as the human intelligence guiding it ✅ The difference between reactive thinking and proactive thinking ✅ Why most people were taught what to think, not how to think ✅ How better questions change the quality of your attention and decisions ✅ Why metacognition is one of the most important skills in the age of AI ✅ How cognitive flexibility, emotional regulation, and learnability shape your future ✅ Why silence, white space, and introspection matter more than ever ✅ How to use AI as a thinking partner instead of a crutch ✅ What it means to upgrade your human intelligence on purposeIf you feel overwhelmed by change, distracted by noise, or uncertain about where your value comes from in an AI-driven world, this episode will help you understand what still makes you irreplaceable and how to build it on purpose.

In this episode of Behind the Prop, Bobby Doss and Wally Mulhearn tackle one of the most important—and often overlooked—aspects of flight training: how pilots respond to setbacks. From checkride disapprovals to frustrating training plateaus, they break down how resilience, self-awareness, and honest self-talk can turn mistakes into meaningful progress. The conversation explores the reality that mistakes are inevitable in aviation, but how pilots respond to them defines their growth and safety. Bobby and Wally share real-world stories—from rough landings to cockpit errors—and emphasize the importance of learning quickly, letting go of past mistakes, and stacking small wins to rebuild confidence. In Part 2, they dive into the hazardous attitudes FAA—including macho, impulsivity, and invulnerability—and explain how these mindsets show up in everyday training and real-world flying. Their practical examples make it clear how dangerous these attitudes can be if left unchecked. The episode wraps with a series of powerful mental math techniques pilots can use in the cockpit, including quick calculations for fuel burn, true airspeed, density altitude, and crosswind components. This episode is packed with actionable insights to help pilots think sharper, fly safer, and build confidence through every phase of training.

In this episode, we talk about Skill 3: Eat More Veggies and why this simple habit can be one of the most powerful ways to support your gut, metabolism, and overall wellbeing. We break down the common fears around plant foods, including concerns about oxalates and lectins, and explain why vegetables still play such an important role in nourishing the body, supporting the immune system, and promoting healthy digestion. We also explore how building a more diverse microbiome through a variety of vegetables, fermented foods like kefir, and even ancient grains can improve insulin sensitivity, reduce inflammation, and support muscle and hormone health. You'll hear practical ways to add these foods gradually, especially if you have sensitive digestion, metabolic struggles, or are walking through hormonal changes. Beyond food itself, we talk about the importance of keeping a balanced mindset while learning new nutrition principles and how tools like ChatGPT can be used thoughtfully for personalized health support.

A few years ago, my advice to developers would've been simple: learn the fundamentals, get good at system design, master your language of choice. And honestly? That advice still feels good to give. But it doesn't feel right anymore.Knowing how to code is table stakes now. It's not enough to get you hired.In this episode, I break down the three levels of AI skills I'd be investing in right now if I was a new grad, a bootcamp grad, or even a senior engineer looking to transition — and why the bar for "hireable" has shifted dramatically in the last few years.Level 1: Actually getting good at the tools. Not being a prompt monkey — having opinions on Claude, Cursor, git worktrees, and knowing why you accept or push back on what the agent gives you.Level 2: Building on top of AI. MCP servers, RAG pipelines, agents. This is where the biggest career opportunity is right now, and it's where the smallest pool of people actually know what they're doing.Level 3: The deep end: data engineering, pipelines, model hosting, fine-tuning. Less sexy, fewer positions, but massively defensible if you get in early.If you're trying to figure out where to put your time right now, this one's for you.

Send us Fan MailWhy do we keep bringing up the same hurt in our relationships, even when we know it is not helping?In this episode of Love Shack Live, we're unpacking one of the most frustrating patterns couples get stuck in: revisiting the same argument, the same betrayal, the same disappointment, and somehow feeling even worse every time. If you have ever thought, “I am not going to bring this up again,” only to find yourself right back in it, this conversation is for you.This is not about being dramatic. It is not about wanting to fight. And it is not proof that you are broken or incapable of moving on.More often, it means something inside you still feels unresolved.We explain why talking about what went wrong over and over is not the same as creating emotional resolution, and why so many couples stay stuck trying to solve the past by living in the past. You will hear why hurt keeps resurfacing, how emotional memories and triggers work, and what it actually takes to move forward without ignoring what happened or pretending it did not matter.You will learn how to shift from obsessing over what happened to getting clear on what you need now. Instead of staying in the cycle of blame, rumination, and repeated arguments, this episode will help you start identifying what would actually help you feel safe, supported, heard, and able to risk connection again.If you are tired of having the same fight, carrying the same resentment, or waiting for the past to stop hurting on its own, this episode will give you a new framework for healing.In this episode, we cover:Why you keep bringing up the past in argumentsWhat it really means when something still feels unresolvedThe difference between accountability and emotional punishmentWhy “talking about it more” often makes things worseHow emotional healing actually happens in relationshipsWhy trying to control your partner will never create real safetyThe hidden emotional payoff of staying stuck in old painHow to stop solving the past from inside the pastThe shift from “don't want” to “do want”Questions to ask yourself when you want to move forward but still feel hurtMentioned in this episode:The emotional driver behind repeated conflictFairy dust needs: being heard, acknowledged, appreciated, and reassuredThe importance of learning relationship skills, not just talking about relationship problemsIf this episode resonates:If you and your partner keep circling the same pain and you want help understanding what is actually happening underneath it, you can book a clarity call at stacibartley.com/apply.Because love is not enough.

What if the problem isn't that your clients don't have the right tools—but that the tools don't feel usable in real life? In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Jesse Finkelstein to unpack how DBT moves beyond worksheets and into everyday decision-making. We break down what DBT actually is, why it works across diagnoses, and how its core ideas—like holding two truths at once—can shift the way clinicians think about change. You'll hear how skills like mindfulness, distress tolerance, and emotion regulation show up in ordinary moments, not just crisis. We also explore why clients often avoid using skills, how to make them more engaging, and what it looks like to translate complex concepts into something people will actually use. If you've ever had a client say “I know what to do, I just don't do it,” this conversation gives you a different way to approach that gap.His book: https://a.co/d/01LfKduu Brightminds AdPAR Ad This episode is brought to you by PAR.Explore the AI Report Writer here:https://www.parinc.com/product/ai-report-writer?utm_campaign=38111624-Psyched%20to%20Practice%202026&utm_source=P2P%20Podcast&utm_medium=Related%20PodcastsLearn more about the RIAS-2 NU here:https://www.parinc.com/product/groups/rias-rist-assessments?utm_campaign=38111624-Psyched%20to%20Practice%202026&utm_source=P2P%20Podcast&utm_medium=Related%20PodcastsTo hear more and stay up to date with Paul Wagner, MS, LPC and Ray Christner, Psy.D., NCSP, ABPP visit our website at: http://www.psychedtopractice.com “Be well, and stay psyched"

Does anyone else feel like things have been extra hard for therapists in 2026? In this episode, I asked therapists to share their top struggles of 2026, because I wanted to know if something different is going on lately.I was surprised to find a much wider gamut of top therapist struggles reported compared to when I made similar episodes in the past.What do you think? Does it feel extra difficult to be a therapist? Or, are these just the same struggles we've experienced before but just in slightly different packaging?Thank you to Paubox for sponsoring this episode.

Tasha Funes built her aviation career across commercial, charter, government, and private aviation, and in this conversation she explains how each chapter taught her something different about the job. Commercial aviation gave her structure. Charter sharpened her professionalism. Private aviation brought those skills together and showed her what full-spectrum service, safety, and adaptability really look like. She also pushes back on one of the biggest misconceptions about flight attendants: the idea that the job is only about service, when in reality the work starts days before a trip and includes preparation, coordination, safety, and constant problem-solving. That behind-the-scenes work becomes even more intense in private aviation. Tasha explains that private flight attendants are not just there to serve passengers. They are stocking the aircraft, handling catering, cleaning, shopping for client needs, protecting confidentiality, and reading the room for high-net-worth travelers who expect excellence without having to ask for it. Her point is clear: to do this well, you need emotional intelligence, flexibility, attention to detail, and the ability to think on your feet when the day changes fast. That experience is what led her to found Exclusive In-Flight. After more than 20 years in aviation, Tasha saw that there was no real roadmap for people trying to break into private aviation, only scattered information online that often left people confused, discouraged, and wasting money. So she built a business focused on mentorship, resume development, hands-on training, and career placement support. Later in the episode, she explains how aspiring flight attendants can get started, why commercial experience can be a strong first step, what skills matter most, and why women in aviation should trust themselves, stay flexible, and stop waiting for permission to build their own path.

When the front tire starts to lose traction or the bike suddenly feels like it's about to go down, most riders react with some kind of defensive move that feels instinctively right. But is it? In this Rider Skills episode, Clinton Smout joins Jim Martin to look at what's really happening in those split-second moments when an adventure motorcycle starts to let go off-road — and why what feels like a save may not be one at all.

We continue our live panel discussion, recorded at Riverside Studios in Hammersmith, with Jonathan and his inner circle group of experienced dealmakers. This isn't about tactics, it's about mindset. Because the real challenge in business acquisition isn't finding deals, it's what's happening in your head. Most people think success in acquisitions comes down to: •            The right sector •            The right deal •            The right timing But the truth? You are the biggest variable in the entire process. Your thinking. Your habits. Your willingness to let go. This episode explores what changes when you stop working in the business… and start thinking like an acquirer. Why business buying is a mental game first •            Your mindset shapes how you negotiate, source deals, and make decisions •            Confidence and self-perception matter more than technical knowledge •            The biggest breakthroughs come from changing how you think, not what you do   The founder trap (and how to escape it) ·       Why building from scratch can cost you years of time, stress, and missed opportunities ·       How acquisitions can accelerate growth instantly ·       The hard truth: many founders realise too late they took the long route   How to stop being the bottleneck in your own business ·       Why your name is probably in every box on the org chart ·       The cost of holding onto control ·       Practical ways to step back and build a leadership team One powerful idea: If you're not doing the one thing you're world-class at, you're losing money.   The mindset shift around delegation ·       Why letting go feels uncomfortable (and often irrational) ·       The real reason you resist paying others to do tasks ·       How to value your time properly A simple but confronting example: If your time is worth £500+ per hour, why are you doing £120/hour tasks?   Building a business that runs without you ·       How experienced dealmakers structure their time ·       Why some owners are almost invisible inside their own companies ·       The difference between owning a business and running one   Fear vs ego: what's really holding you back? ·       Why most people don't delegate (and it's not what they think) ·       The hidden fear of losing control and not knowing how to recover ·       How self-awareness becomes a competitive advantage   What happens when you lose everything One of the most powerful moments in this episode: A dealmaker shares how they lost everything… And rebuilt it all in just 64 days. The lesson? Skills and mindset are more valuable than money. Once you know how to create value, you can do it again.   Why your peer group matters more than you think ·       The difference between personal friends and professional peers ·       How being around the right people stretches your thinking ·       Why growth often requires changing your environment The long-term game: hunter vs hunted ·       Why acquisitions allow you to leverage years of someone else's work ·       How to build a group of businesses strategically ·       When to switch from buying… to becoming the asset others want   Key takeaway You don't build wealth by working harder inside a business. You build it by: •            Letting go •            Thinking bigger •            Leveraging people, systems, and acquisitions And most importantly… Becoming a different person in the process.

In this episode, we welcome Lisa Kay Solomon, designer-in-residence at Stanford's d.school and host of the "How We Future" podcast, and Jeffrey Rogers, principal of Learning and Facilitation at Radical and co-founder of Projectory. We discuss why foresight—the ability to anticipate and design the futures we want—is everybody's job, not just the domain of senior leaders or specialized futurists. They challenge the idea that organizations operate on an "official future" built from unexamined assumptions, and explore how narrative shapes both our approach to work and our readiness for rapid change, especially in the face of AI disruption. You will want to hear this episode if you are interested in...[00:00] Rethinking future-focused leadership[03:39] HR's evolving role in shaping the future[07:18] Understanding contested narratives and the potential to challenge them [21:50] The importance of adopting futures thinking through broad learning across multiple perspectives[25:47] Strategic foresight and future practices[35:13] Rethinking knowledge and learning priorities[39:21] Reflecting on AI adoption barriers[47:08] Helping leaders develop future-oriented skills[51:14] Looking ahead to the futureThe Leadership Muscle We Forget to UseOne of the most powerful ideas to emerge from the conversation is that of foresight as a "leadership muscle." Most leaders are trained and incentivized to focus on quarterly results and annual plans. The urgent often squeezes out the important, leaving little room for the kind of long-term, strategic thinking that anticipates disruption rather than simply reacts to it.Foresight isn't someone else's job—it's every leader's job. Yet, most organizations have let this muscle atrophy. Through scenario planning and immersive exercises like those facilitated at last year's Summit, the hosts argue that HR and organizational leaders can rediscover the collective ability to inquire, imagine, and influence the future, rather than endure it.Challenging the "Official Future" and the Power of NarrativeEvery organization operates on an "official future," a set of unspoken assumptions about what tomorrow holds. In stable times, these guiding narratives are rarely questioned. But when the world is in flux, from technological disruptions like AI to geopolitical shocks, such narratives become vulnerabilities.Leaders, especially in HR, have a responsibility to both recognize and challenge prevailing stories about the future. Wherever there's a narrative, there's also the possibility for a counter-narrative, and organizations need to cultivate the skill of holding multiple possible futures in mind, letting diverse perspectives inform strategic choices rather than defaulting to inherited assumptions.Building Organizational Foresight: Tools, Skills, and CommunityThe value of events like the Red Thread Summit lies in three core takeaways: the experience of stepping back to envision the future, a toolkit of practices that can be applied immediately, and the creation of a community dedicated to learning and experimentation.There are three critical skills:Recognizing the narrative: Are you taking assumptions as fact, or seeing them as just one possible story?Crafting your own narratives: Are you able to articulate clear, alternative futures?Communicating vision: Can you equip others to see and believe in those visions?Perhaps nowhere is the need for foresight and narrative-shaping more acute than in the realm of AI and automation. Today's leaders are under immense pressure to adopt and justify new technologies, to navigate uncertainty, and to avoid being blindsided by change.A key theme is the emerging digital (and AI) divide: those who are experimenting, learning, and shaping technology are pulling ahead, while those waiting for certainty risk being left behind. Learning, experimentation, and cross-pollination are essential. Creating the Conditions for Resilient FuturesRather than chasing after blueprints or one "correct" answer, try to cultivate a design mindset: creating organizational conditions in which new ideas and approaches can flourish. This means expanding our definition of leadership to include not just the preservation of knowledge, but the nurturing of curiosity, experimentation, collaboration, and adaptability.  Resources & People MentionedPeter DruckerArticles by Lisa Kay Solomon Pascal Finette on LinkedIn Implications WheelView from the Future at Stanford d.school  Hazel HendersonConnect with Lisa Kay Solomon and Jeffrey RogersLisa Kay Solomon on LinkedIn Jeffrey Rogers on LinkedIn Connect With Red Thread ResearchWebsite: Red Thread ResearchOn LinkedInOn FacebookOn TwitterSubscribe to WORKPLACE STORIES

For this episode, let's revisit a Strategy Skills classic featuring an interview with the author of Inside the Competitor's Mindset, John Horn, where he shares proven techniques to help businesses think like the competition and understand why they act the way they do. Inside the Competitor's Mindset presents a systematic approach to competitive intelligence that starts with three frameworks to get inside the competitor's mindset, predict their reactions to your moves, and assess whether the competition is getting ready for a spontaneous move of their own.  John Horn is a professor of practice in economics at the Olin Business School at Washington University in St. Louis. He teaches MBA students microeconomics, macroeconomics, and global business. John was a Senior Expert in the Strategy Practice of McKinsey & Company for 9 years, working with clients on competitive strategy, war gaming workshops, and corporate and business unit strategy across a variety of industries and geographies. He helped over 100 clients with war game workshops and developed a set of simulation exercises to help companies understand the challenges of reallocating resources. He continues to consult through his LLC: Gateway Competitive Insights. John has published nine papers in the McKinsey Quarterly and three in the Harvard Business Review, mostly on the application of behavioral economics and competitive insight to business strategy.

AI is pulling HR into the center of the business Not as support—but as a strategic driver tied directly to how work gets done and delivered to customers. 2. The real power of AI is translating work into skills Understanding what skills are needed—and matching them dynamically—is becoming HR's most critical capability. 3. Skills data unlocks internal mobility at scale Organizations already have the talent—they just haven't had the visibility to deploy it effectively. 4. “Make yourself discoverable” is the new career mandate Employees must actively surface their skills and capabilities in AI-driven environments or risk being overlooked. 5. AI enables a more human approach to talent decisions Instead of writing people off, organizations can identify where individuals will actually thrive. 6. HR needs to think beyond HR The biggest missed opportunity: not connecting AI in HR to how the business serves customers. 7. Transformation is no longer optional—it's continuous AI isn't a project. It's an ongoing shift in how organizations operate, hire, and grow talent.    

Hey friend! I am so glad you are here today, because this episode — this one right here — is one I have been genuinely excited to bring to you. Have you ever had that quiet, persistent feeling that God is calling you to something more — something beyond the bedside — but you did not know what to do with it? Maybe you have been faithful to your nursing career, you have given it everything, and yet there is this stirring in your spirit that will not go away. Like there is something else. Something bigger. Something you were built for that your nursing license alone cannot contain. If that resonates with you — stay right where you are. Because today's guest was made for this conversation. I have the honor of introducing you to Leniesha Norwood. Leniesha is a critical care nurse, a homeschool mom, an entrepreneur, a Holy Spirit-led coach, and the host of the Nurse to CEO Podcast. She brings over two decades of healthcare experience to everything she does — and she has spent that time not just caring for patients, but paying attention to what God was building in her through every single shift. She mentors nurses who feel that tension — the one so many of you know — between serving faithfully at the bedside and sensing God calling them to more.  In today's episode, Leniesha is unpacking something that I think is going to genuinely shift how you see yourself. Because here is the truth she is going to walk you through: you have been trained in far more than patient care. The skills you use every single day at the bedside; your ability to teach, to lead under pressure, to simplify complex information, to guide people through some of the hardest moments of their lives.... those are not just nursing skills. Those are Kingdom skills. Those are coaching skills. Those are the skills that build something that lasts beyond a 12-hour shift. Romans 11:29 says: "For the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable." That means what God placed in you did not expire at the bedside. And today, Leneisha is going to help you start seeing that clearly. Now — I also want to make sure you know about something special she has coming up. On April 22nd at 11:30 AM Eastern, Leniesha is hosting the RN to CEO Shift Workshop — and it is going exactly where today's conversation is going, only deeper. She is going to walk you through how your nursing skills translate into coaching, mentorship, online business, and Kingdom-centered impact. Real examples. Practical steps. And the clarity you have been looking for about what your "next" could actually look like. You must be registered to attend or receive the replay. Go to rnskills.theconsecratedceo.com. I'll be there!

Send us a text message if you have a question you want answered on the podcast.Some pain doesn't feel forgivable.Not because you don't want peace… but because it feels unfair to let it go.In this Sister Connection episode, two women share what it actually looks like to wrestle with forgiveness when the hurt runs deep.One is navigating forgiveness after years of abuse from her mother.The other is grieving the loss of her 17-year-old daughter from a preventable accident.This isn't surface-level “just forgive and move on.”This is about what happens when anger, grief, faith, and healing all collide.One takeaway: Forgiveness isn't about excusing what happened. It's about choosing what you carry forward… and what you finally set down._______________________________Stick around for more Mental Health support & resources:

When a student behaves in a way that disrupts their own learning or someone else's, our response is often limited to a reprimand or a punishment. While this usually stops the undesirable behavior for a while, it doesn't often solve the problem long-term. What has longer-lasting impact is viewing the misbehavior as a sign that a student is missing an important skill, and if they are taught that skill, the behavior should naturally improve. In this episode, we learn more about what this approach looks like in practice from Nathan Maynard, educator and author of the new book, The Science of Discipline. ___________________________ Thanks to Listenwise and Erikson Institute for sponsoring the episode.

What separates people who merely use AI from those who truly stand out? Why are communication, judgment, leadership, empathy, and taste becoming such critical advantages for students, creators, operators, managers, and builders? Bidemi breaks down practical systems, real-life examples, and a healthier path to sustainable excellence that is not tied to hustle culture.
