885. In a world of constant meetings and shifting priorities, why does it feel like we're repeating the same "to-do" list every six months? This week, Rachel gets into the "bad patterns" that keep teams stuck in a loop of false comfort. We often mistake saying we need to change for actual progress, while our health and productivity suffer the consequences. In this episode, you'll learn how to: Master strategic prioritization: Why half-assing seventeen goals is costing you more than saying "no" to fourteen. Demystify AI upskilling: How to move past AI paralysis by building "warm-up" experiments for your team. Solve meeting fatigue: Why the answer isn't always fewer meetings, but shifting the lens to high-value dialogue. Build an innovation culture: How to create "safe sandboxes" for experiments that turn potential failure into actionable data. Stop letting the cost of inaction hold your team back. It's time to move beyond the refrain and start doing the hard things that drive real success. Modern Mentor is hosted by Rachel Cooke.

Nelson Nigel is the founder and CEO of Kidmoto, a tech-enabled transportation company that provides safe airport transfers with properly installed child car seats. What started in 2016 as a frustrating observation while driving for Uber turned into a seven-figure business operating in 80+ cities globally.

By David Stephen The first admission, regarding solving social media addiction and harm for users, especially teens, is that digital is generally harder to enforce than the physical. This is, in part, evident where, to enforce some barriers in digital, physical [like IDs] maybe necessary. It is not very useful to directly compare safeguards for social media with physical facilities, like seatbelts, which are easier to detect by enforcement as well as have menacing alarms and alerts implemented. Can Brain Science Solve Social Media Addiction? Evasion and bypass are more common with digital that even in some strict cases, for public platforms, access is possible for those who should not see it. This means that while social media companies are expected to do better, there is also the chance to put forward potent solutions that would ensure that people are not just restricted, but they also do not want it. Simply, whatever social media is that make users swarm it can be said to do something for people, or that people want it. So, how can people not want it, or want it less? This was a method with cigarettes, where packs were suffused with grim images of [health and life] losses, such that even as some people ignored it, it made a mind dent for some, that they were never unaware of what is probable, in the side-effects of it. While this may not work for social media, because it is static, it indicates that a means to have it repelled will be useful to ensure people do not have their minds become casualties of social media, especially during formative years. For example, AI chatbots have mild and static messages, but they have been unable to make any difference for those that leapt in to AI delusion and AI psychosis. There is a recent [February 13, 2026] guest essay in The New York Times, We're All in a Throuple With A.I., stating that, "but a polite suggestion after three hours of A.I. conversation is not enough. Why not play video testimonials from people whose human relationships withered after years of nonstop chat with bots?" While it is possible that this might work, it might be skipped or the people assume they won't fall the same way, while believing others have a problem. This leaves the option to the mind. Like a possible model of how the human mind works, to see corresponding relays and vulnerabilities [conceptually, at minimum]. Meta and YouTube Lawsuit There is a new [February 18, 2026] report on CNN, Meta's Zuckerberg testifies about social media's effects on children in landmark trial, stating that, "Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg was grilled Wednesday about whether his company intentionally designed Instagram to be addictive, in front of the young woman accusing Meta and YouTube of hooking her as a child and damaging her mental health." "But Lanier showed an internal document from 2015 that estimated over 4 million Instagram users were under 13, which it said represented "30% of all 10-12 year olds in the US." Lanier has said the now-20-year-old plaintiff, Kaley, began using Instagram at age 9." "Lanier pointed out that it wasn't until December 2019 that Instagram began asking new users to input a birthdate when signing up; previously, it just asked them to confirm they were above the age of 13. Instagram in August 2021 started asking existing users to provide a birthdate if they hadn't done so previously, as part of a safety push for young people." "In another tense exchange, Lanier grilled Zuckerberg over Instagram's decision to allow "beauty" filters that manipulate a user's face to make it appear they're wearing makeup or have had facial surgery. Meta consulted with 18 experts that found such filters can cause harm, Lanier said." "Instagram ultimately decided to allow such filters created by users but not to promote them in the app." Mind Safety from Conceptual Brain Science While changes are expected for social media in the coming years, digital is already in the lives of children, in a way that will ultimately req...

272.พระเยซูทรงแก้ปัญหาทุกอย่าง (The Saviour Can Solve Every Problem) by คริสตจักรตรัง

In this podcast, Tavershima Ayede explains why many Nigerian entrepreneurs struggle to land big clients. He points out a major mistake: sending fancy, expensive business proposals to people you haven't even talked to yet.The Problem with "Blind" ProposalsMost proposals fail because they are: * Too "Me-Focused": They talk mostly about the business and its achievements rather than the client. * Based on Guesses: Without a conversation, you're just guessing what the client actually needs.The Solution: Conversation FirstTavershima suggests a "Talk First, Write Later" strategy: * Get the Inside Scoop: Speak with decision-makers or people in the industry before you type a single word. * Speak Their Language: Use the specific words and problems the client mentioned in your actual proposal. * Solve, Don't Sell: Shift your focus from bragging about your company to showing exactly how you will fix the client's problems.The Bottom Line: Big clients don't want a sales pitch; they want a solution. Tavershima concludes by offering his consultancy services to help business owners stop "blind pitching" and start winning deals through better strategy.

Is the NBA's tanking crackdown really about the fans - or is it there a much darker reality? Mo Mooncey and 2x NBA Championship-winning coach Brendan Suhr break down all seven anti-tanking proposals discussed by Adam Silver and the 30 owners - and give every single one an honest grade.From draft lottery odds to flattening the picks, from rookie free agency to freezing odds at the trade deadline - Mo and Brendan pull apart each proposal and explain exactly why none of them will work. Plus, Mo makes his case for what really is the real driving force behind the sudden urgency to fix tanking - and why the league's bigger problems aren't getting the same attention.Then it's into the All-NBA debate. Who makes the first team? Is it SGA's MVP to lose? Is Wemby already a lock for Defensive Player of the Year for the next decade? And what's going on with the Houston Rockets? Listen or watch to find out.

Doug Evans is the founder and CEO of The Sprouting Company, an early pioneer in the natural foods industry, former paratrooper in the 82nd Airborne Division, and author of the national bestseller The Sprout Book. From building a multimillion-dollar graphic design firm in his early 20s to exiting Organic Avenue in an eight-figure deal, to raising $120M for Juicero—and losing it all publicly—Doug's entrepreneurial journey has been anything but linear. Now, he's on a mission to revolutionize home food production by teaching people how to grow ultra-nutritious sprouts right on their kitchen counter. On this episode we talk about: Why being willing to do what nobody else wants to do creates opportunity Charging what you're actually worth—and how one $25K invoice changed everything The hard lessons of raising venture capital and losing control of your company Turning public failure (Juicero) into personal reinvention Why sprouts may be the most underrated business (and health) opportunity of the decade The discipline required to override laziness, addiction, and self-sabotage Top 3 Takeaways Value your time—and price accordingly. Doug went from charging $200/hour to confidently asking for $25,000 for a single engagement. That shift in self-perception changed his earning ceiling overnight. VC money comes with strings. Raising $120M for Juicero created scale—but also invited control shifts that ultimately pushed Doug out of his own company. Solve your own problem first. The Sprouting Company was born from Doug asking, “What will I eat in the desert?” The best businesses often start as deeply personal solutions. Notable Quotes “If you're willing to do what nobody else wants to do, you'll get the opportunity.” “You can have anything you want—if you're willing to do the work and be patient.” “Something as small as a seed can grow into a multibillion-dollar company.” “Money is there to be made—but you have to create value first.” Doug's Entrepreneurial Timeline (The Good, The Bad, The Ugly) Built a multimillion-dollar graphic design company in his early 20s Walked away from a bad partnership to protect his freedom Scaled Organic Avenue to 10 NYC stores and achieved an eight-figure exit Founded Juicero, raised $120M+ from top-tier investors—and experienced a high-profile shutdown Reinvented himself in Wonder Valley and launched The Sprouting Company, now generating millions in revenue Connect with Doug Evans: Instagram: @dougevans LinkedIn: Doug Evans Company: The Sprouting Company Book: The Sprout Book  Travis Makes Money is made possible by HighLevel – the all-in-one sales & marketing platform built for agencies.  Capture leads, nurture them, and close more deals—all from one powerful platform.  Get an extended free trial at gohighlevel.com/travis Learn more about your ad choices.

Sellers accidentally commoditize themselves by leading with features, workflows, and “what the product does.” When you sound like a tool, you get compared like a tool — and compared tools compete on price. In this episode, Brandon explains why rich buyers don't buy features — they buy relief, risk reduction, and revenue impact. You'll learn how to shift your messaging from feature language to outcome language, how to quantify value and ROI so price feels smaller than the upside, and how to stop battling competitors by competing against the cost of inaction instead. If you want to charge more, close bigger deals, and protect your margin, this episode gives you the playbook: upgrade the problem you solve — and your pricing power follows.

In this powerful conversation, I sit down with Dr. Ross Greene, clinical psychologist and creator of the Collaborative and Proactive Solutions (CPS) model, to unpack why traditional rewards and punishments often make behavior worse — not better. We dive deep into why "because I said so" stops working, what your child's frustration is actually communicating, and how to shift from authoritarian control to collaborative leadership that builds trust, accountability, and critical thinking.   If you've ever thought, "Why is this not working anymore?" this episode will give you a radically different lens — and practical tools you can use immediately.     Timeline Summary [0:00] Why power struggles are so common in parenting [2:00] Introducing Dr. Ross Greene and the CPS model  [6:17] Why rewards and punishments don't solve the real problem  [8:33] Concerning behavior as a frustration response  [12:04] The 3-step collaborative problem-solving process explained  [16:19] Real-life example: solving teeth brushing battles with a 3-year-old  [30:56] Curfew conflict and how to navigate teenage resistance  [37:16] How collaborative parenting builds critical thinking  [41:56] Why authoritarian parenting may cause long-term harm  [47:06] Developmental variability — why every child is different  [49:23] Why noncompliance is informative, not defiance  [56:31] Accountability through collaboration — not punishment      Five Key Takeaways Concerning behavior is a signal, not a character flaw. It communicates an unsolved problem.  Rewards and punishments modify behavior — they don't solve the underlying issue.  The 3-step CPS process (Empathy, Define Adult Concern, Invitation) reduces conflict and builds trust.  Noncompliance is information. It tells you an expectation may exceed your child's current skill set.  Collaborative leadership builds accountability, emotional regulation, and critical thinking.      Links & Resources Dad Edge Alliance Preview Call: http://thedadedge.com/preview Dad Edge Business Boardroom (Mastermind): https://thedadedge.com/mastermind Dr. Ross Greene — Lives in the Balance (Free Resources): https://livesinthebalance.org Episode Show Notes & Resources: https://thedadedge.com/1442   Closing Remark   If this episode challenged how you think about discipline, accountability, and leadership at home, don't just sit on it — put it into practice.

In this video David speaks to Peter Bailey (SVP and GM of Cisco's Security business). AI agents are moving fast inside enterprises, and CISOs are hitting the brakes for one reason: the attack surface is expanding at machine speed. In this interview, we break down how agentic AI changes security, why MCP servers and agent tool access create new risks, and what a zero trust approach looks like when the “user” is a non-deterministic agent. We cover real-world problems like shadow MCP servers, agents touching sensitive systems and PII, and why traditional perimeter controls and firewalls are not enough when traffic is encrypted and actions happen too quickly downstream. You'll also hear what Cisco is doing across the AI lifecycle: AI Defense for model scanning, provenance and guardrails, plus new protections focused on agent identity, dynamic authorization, behavior monitoring, and revocation. On the networking side, we discuss how SD-WAN and secure access (SASE) can add visibility and policy control for AI usage, including prioritizing latency-sensitive AI traffic while still enforcing security. If you're a security engineer, network engineer, or CISO trying to move from AI hype to safe deployment, this video gives you a practical mental model and the controls to start building now.

Meat is responsible for roughly a fifth of climate change, the lion's share of deforestation, 70% of our antibiotic use, and quite possibly the next pandemic — and consumption is going up every single year, with no end in sight. In this episode, Bruce Friedrich of the Good Food Institute joins me to argue that the only way out of this mess is better meat: plant-based and cultivated alternatives that can compete on price and taste, the way renewables now compete with fossil fuels.

Most small businesses are doing government contracting completely wrong—and it's costing them months of time, thousands of dollars, and contracts they should already have. In this live recap, Eric breaks down the 5 moves that separate winners from everyone else in 2026—without the "spray and pray" approach, without waiting on RFPs, and without wasting your life refreshing SAM.gov. This episode is a condensed bootcamp breakdown of what Eric taught during an 8-hour training—compressed into a fast, actionable playbook. You'll learn how to target the right agencies, uncover real agency pain points, use AI prompts to gain an edge, find low-competition opportunities using the Hit List Method, and tap into the expiring contracts "honeypot" so you can get positioned early—either as a prime, a sub, or part of the winning team before the recompete drops. Key Takeaways: Target, don't chase. Pick 3 agencies and focus—spraying opportunities is why most contractors lose. Solve problems, not sell services. Agencies award contracts to businesses that speak to their pain points, not their features. Expiring contracts = hidden gold. Recompetes let you get in early—before the real competition shows up.

258: In this episode, I'm talking with Don Healy, the creator of the Site Facts Report, a tool I used myself, and was shocked at what it uncovered.(Show Notes: REtipster.com/258)If you're investing in land or planning to build, you should understand what this report is and what it can reveal. For $500, it can save you tens of thousands, and even help you avoid some deals you'd otherwise regret.We break down who should use this report, when to order it, and how it fits into your land-buying strategy. Whether you're flipping, building, or just holding land, this is a critical step most investors overlook.

Send a textConflict can either harden kids or grow them. We chose growth. We dig into the real moments families face—sibling spats, unfair playing time, heated classrooms, and comment-section pile-ons—and show how to turn each one into a brain-building rep. We start by naming our own defaults—fight, flight, or freeze—and then map what's actually happening in a child's brain when emotions spike, why logic fails in the heat of the moment, and how rhythm and regulation reopen the cortex for better choices.From there, we get practical. You'll hear how to avoid the most common parenting traps—rushing to fix, taking automatic sides, or praising “quiet” kids who are actually avoiding hard conversations. We break down I-statements that don't attack, perspective-taking questions that reduce blame, and simple role plays that help kids rehearse language before it counts. We also share why some children escalate and others retreat, how mislabels like “defiant” or “manipulative” hide real needs, and what tailored coaching looks like for each temperament.Sports and social media get their own time in the spotlight. We talk through staying composed from the stands, guiding kids to ask coaches for concrete feedback, and remembering that coachability matters as much as skill. Online, we outline safety-first boundaries, graduated access, and open-device checks that build trust and keep kids out of harm's way—while teaching them to recognize bait, avoid groupthink, and log off when a thread turns toxic. Finally, we model apologies that carry ownership without shame and explain how forgiveness can include strong boundaries. The result: young people who can regulate, speak clearly, make amends, and carry these habits into adulthood.If this resonates, follow the show, share it with a friend who's in the thick of big feelings, and leave a five-star review so more families can find these tools.Contact:podcasts@calfarley.org To Donate: https://secure.calfarley.org/site/Donation2?3358.donation=form1&df_id=3358&mfc_pref=TTo Apply:https://apply.workable.com/cal-farleys-boys-ranch/j/25E1226091/For More Information about Cal Farley's Boys Ranch:https://www.calfarley.org/Music:"Shine" -NewsboysCCS License No. 9402

What does it really take to move innovation from idea to impact inside a 95,000-person organization? In this episode of the Innovation Storytellers Show, I sat down with Vlora Muslimi, Senior Manager at TD Bank, whose path into innovation did not begin in a lab or a product team. It began in contact centers, in the daily friction of legacy tools, imperfect processes, and frontline employees trying to do their best work under pressure. With more than 15 years of experience across digital, omni-channel, and contact center operations, Vlora now leads a centralized innovation team responsible for harnessing grassroots ideas from across the enterprise. We are not talking about a handful of suggestions. Her team reviews between 16,000 and 18,000 ideas annually, and TD recently celebrated surpassing 100,000 employee-submitted ideas. Behind those numbers lies a disciplined approach to listening, triaging, matchmaking across business lines, and, most importantly, storytelling. Vlora shares how her early operational experience shaped her belief that innovation fails when it creates friction for either employees or customers. Solve only for one side, and the solution will not stick. That philosophy now guides how her team evaluates ideas, connects contact centers with technology teams, and prioritizes initiatives that balance business value with human impact. We spend time unpacking the emotional side of innovation, especially the heartbreak of ideas that do not move forward. What surprised her most was that employees were not asking for every idea to be implemented. They were asking for transparency. Who got selected? Why? What can we learn? That insight sparked a stronger internal storytelling engine, one that highlights winning ideas, shares lessons from the journey, and builds belief that anyone can bring an idea across the finish line. Our conversation also dives into empathy as a leadership muscle. Innovation leaders often rush toward outcomes, yet resistance frequently signals fear, confusion, or misalignment. Vlora explains why naming the discomfort in change, rather than sugarcoating it, builds trust and accelerates adoption. She reinforces that storytelling is not optional. It is the bridge between data and belief, between alignment and action. We explore real examples, from redesigning onboarding to improve connection and retention, to evolving adjudication processes for new-to-Canada customers. These are not flashy, headline-grabbing technologies. They are human-centered transformations that create measurable impact across millions of customers and thousands of colleagues. Looking ahead, Vlora sees growing sophistication in ideas leveraging generative AI, alongside a personal mission to increase the organization's implementation rate beyond its current 10 to 13 percent. For her, the path forward is clear. Engage more people. Strengthen the narrative. Connect impact to purpose. And when I ask her the big questions, she names the iPhone as the greatest innovation she has lived through, imagines joining Ford's original automobile team, and closes with a powerful reminder that the story the world needs now is one rooted in understanding and empathy. If you are leading change inside a complex organization, this episode is a masterclass in balancing listening with execution, process with people, and strategy with story. What might happen inside your organization if every employee believed their idea could matter?  

What if the stress you feel at home is not just about your schedule… but about your stuff?I know. That sounds almost too simple.But when Katy Wells came back on the Healthy Parenting Handbook podcast, we did not just talk about decluttering. We talked about cortisol. About magnets for your attention. About why walking into your own kitchen can change your mood in seconds.And friends, this one hit close to home.Because if you are trying to raise independent kids, teach life skills, keep up with meals, laundry, school, sports, and somehow protect your own nervous system… your environment matters more than you think.Here is what we dig into in this episode:The surprising research linking clutter and elevated cortisol levelsWhy the average American home may be holding over 300,000 “magnets for your attention”How clutter quietly fuels anxiety (even if you think it does not bother you)What a “nightly reset” looks like in real life with kidsHow to pass ownership of the home to your children without naggingThe difference between modeling and inviting kids into responsibilityWhy action creates motivation (and not the other way around)The simple starting point that breaks the clutter and anxiety cycleWe also talk about something that might sting a little: why systems alone will not save you.If you have ever walked into a messy kitchen and felt your shoulders tense… or walked into a clear counter and felt yourself exhale… this episode is for you.Let's talk about how simplifying your home can actually strengthen your parenting.Resources We Mention for Making Home Your Happy PlaceOrder Katy's new book, Making Home Your Happy Place, on Amazon or Bookshop.orgCheck out her courses if you need help at home: Toy Clutter Cure System, Home Management Mastery, Clutter ChallengeGet the one-page handbook episode guides at raisinghealthyfamilies.com/handbookHere is Katy's earlier episode of the podcast: Expected Mess Vs.

From 02/16 Hour 1: Tobi Altizer breaks down the NBA's tanking issue.

Can your business make a million in one year?Most people will say no. Not because it's impossible, but because they're thinking about it the wrong way. Making your first $1 Million is not about hustle. It's not about stacking side projects. It's not about 14 income streams and burnout disguised as ambition.It's about leverage.Leverage over effort.Outcomes over deliverables.Focus over distraction.If your income is tied directly to your time, you're capped. If you're solving small problems, you're paid small money. If you're scattered across too many offers, too many audiences, too many channels, you're diluted.The path to $1 Million requires three uncomfortable shifts:Obsess over leverage, not effort.Solve a $10 Million problem to earn $1 Million.Go narrower to go bigger with one flagship offer, one defined buyer, and one primary distribution engine.This episode also confronts the uncomfortable truth about wealth: if it costs you your family, your health, or your identity, that's not success. That's ego dressed up as ambition. The real question becomes this: " If you had to build a $1 Million business with only one offer, one audience, and one channel… what would you choose?"Your answer will reveal everything...What You'll Learn:Why leverage beats effort if you want real scaleHow to reverse-engineer $1 Million without the hustle trapThe “solve a $10 Million problem” mindset shiftWhy outcomes sell and deliverables get negotiated downHow focus becomes your unfair advantage when discomfort hitsThe one-offer, one-audience, one-channel test that clarifies everythingHow to build recurring revenue while protecting your energyBeyond The Episode Gems:Buy My Book, Strategize Up: The Blueprint To Scale Your Business: StrategizeUpBook.comDiscover All Podcasts On The HubSpot Podcast NetworkGet Free HubSpot Marketing Tools To Help You Grow Your BusinessGrow Your Business Faster Using HubSpot's CRM PlatformListen to My First Million on the HubSpot Podcast NetworkSupport The Podcast & Connect With Troy: Rate & Review iDigress: iDigress.fm/ReviewsFollow Troy's Socials @FindTroy: LinkedIn, Instagram, Threads, TikTokSubscribe to Troy's YouTube Channel For Strategy Videos & See Masterclass EpisodesNeed Growth Strategy, A Keynote Speaker, Or Want To Sponsor The Podcast?

Can science solve the Nancy Guthrie Kidnapping? The Nancy Guthrie kidnapping investigation enters Week 3 — and this may be the moment the case turns from theory to science. Investigators recovered a glove 1.5 miles from Nancy's home that appears similar to the one worn by the masked suspect seen on camera. Now forensic testing is underway to determine whether DNA from inside the house matches the glove — and if it does, detectives may finally have a direct link between the kidnapper and the crime scene.

By now, we know that our society has a problem with plastics. They seem to have made their way into every aspect of our lives. They're inescapable, but this is a problem that doesn't need to last forever. It is a problem we can solve, or at least, that's what the new book The Problem with Plastic argues. We've been told for decades that recycling would solve the plastic crisis — but it hasn't. The truth is, we can't recycle our way out of this problem. Plastic recycling has never worked at scale, and the real solution is far more straightforward: we have to stop making so much plastic in the first place. That change won't happen without policy, and when everyday people use their voices to push policymakers at every level to cut plastic production and address this crisis before it's too late. In episode 211 of the Outdoor Minimalist podcast, we hear from the author of THE PROBLEM WITH PLASTIC, Judith Enck.Judith is the founder and president of Beyond Plastics, whose goal is eliminating plastic pollution everywhere. She was appointed by President Obama to serve as regional administrator at the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency in 2009 and served as deputy secretary for the environment in the New York Governor's Office. She is currently a professor at Bennington College and lives in upstate New York.Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/outdoor.minimalist.book/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.theoutdoorminimalist.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@theoutdoorminimalistBuy Me a Coffee: ⁠⁠⁠https://buymeacoffee.com/outdoorminimalist⁠⁠⁠Listener Survey: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://forms.gle/jd8UCN2LL3AQst976⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠------------------The Problem with Plastics: https://www.beyondplastics.org/publications/problem-with-plastic-bookBeyond Plastics: https://www.beyondplastics.org/Judith Enck: https://judithenck.com/

Autonomize AI is transforming healthcare infrastructure by eliminating administrative waste and reimagining how health enterprises operate. Covering 150 million of the 330 million lives in the United States and powering three of the five largest health enterprises, Autonomize AI has found traction by solving healthcare's hardest problems first. In this episode of BUILDERS, we sat down with Ganesh Padmanabhan, Founder & CEO of Autonomize AI, to explore how he built an AI platform from the ground up for healthcare—not by retrofitting existing technology, but by immersing himself in the industry's unique challenges and building solutions that address the fundamental inefficiencies plaguing the system. Topics Discussed: The origin story of launching during COVID with conviction around unstructured data Landing the first enterprise customer with a PowerPoint and prototype before writing production code The evolution from clinical trial patient matching to powering major health enterprises Why solving the hardest problems first created faster traction than targeting easy wins Building credibility as an outsider by leveraging past successes and being honest about failures The distinction between building AI for healthcare versus building AI from within healthcare Scaling from a $10,000 pilot to multi-million dollar ARR with deep customer immersion Why healthcare is fundamentally a trust equation, not a technology problem The future vision of an AI-native health enterprise operating system GTM Lessons For B2B Founders: Don't write code until you have a signed deal: Ganesh didn't write production code until securing his first enterprise customer. He used a compelling pitch deck and an expensive prototype stitched together from cloud solutions to demonstrate feasibility. Once the deal was signed at $150,000 annually, they built the sustainable version while delivering value with the prototype. This approach validated real demand before significant investment. Solve the hardest problem, not the easiest one: Counterintuitively, Autonomize AI found faster traction by tackling the most difficult challenges in healthcare. Ganesh explains, "The simplest way to actually get traction, solve the hardest problem that's out there. If you do that and you can actually solve it...if the problem is big enough for them to move, they will." Hard problems often have fewer competitors and more desperate buyers. Wait for pattern recognition before scaling: Ganesh knew he had a business when the second and third customers requested exactly what the first customer bought. He waited for this repeatable pattern before raising a seed round, ensuring he wasn't just solving one customer's unique problem but addressing a genuine market need. Immerse deeply in one customer before broad expansion: Autonomize AI spent 12 months becoming better experts on their first major enterprise customer's systems than the customer's own internal teams. This deep penetration transformed a $10,000 pilot into millions in ARR and provided invaluable learning that shaped their entire platform approach. The investment in one relationship paid exponential dividends. Build from the industry, not for the industry: Ganesh's advice is clear: "Don't build AI and bring it into healthcare. Come into healthcare and build the AI." Most companies fail by retrofitting technology into healthcare's nuanced environment. Success comes from immersing yourself in the specific industry, understanding its unique constraints and trust requirements, then building solutions from that foundation. Leverage past credibility through specific storytelling: As an industry outsider, Ganesh built trust by sharing concrete past successes: growing Dell's convergent infrastructure business from zero to $1.3 billion in five years, working with major healthcare clients in previous roles. He also shared failures openly, creating authentic credibility. He notes, "People learn more from their successes than from their failures...you learn what to do then what not to do." // Sponsors: Front Lines — We help B2B tech companies launch, manage, and grow podcasts that drive demand, awareness, and thought leadership. www.FrontLines.io The Global Talent Co. — We help tech startups find, vet, hire, pay, and retain amazing marketing talent that costs 50-70% less than the US & Europe. www.GlobalTalent.co // Don't Miss: New Podcast Series — How I Hire Senior GTM leaders share the tactical hiring frameworks they use to build winning revenue teams.

If your team can't move without you, you don't have leadership; you have dependence. Kendall Berg sits down with Leah Marone to unpack the Support, Don't Solve leadership model. This is the shift that stops constant interruption. It also builds real ownership. Leah explains why leaders often jump in too quickly, how this creates a dependency loop, and what to do instead. You will hear the first move that changes everything: validation first. Then questions. Then space. This episode is for the manager who is always on call. It is also for the high performer who wants to advance without carrying the whole team. You will walk away with a clear reframe, simple boundaries that still feel human, and language you can use the next time someone brings you a problem. In this episode, we discuss: Why does my team rely on me for every decision at work? How do I stop being the problem solver without sounding cold? What does "support, don't solve" look like in real leadership conversations? How do I set boundaries at work while still leading with empathy? What should I say first when someone brings me a problem? What's one "corporate game" rule you've learned the hard way?

Get featured on the show by leaving us a Voice Mail: https://bit.ly/MIPVM  This episode challenges goal-driven thinking in an AI-enabled world through a conversation with Radhika Dutt. The discussion explores why OKRs and vanity metrics often fail, especially when AI accelerates optimisation without understanding. The core insight is a shift from goal setting to puzzle setting. By framing problems clearly, staying in the discomfort, and learning through small experiments, teams can build products that create long-term value. Practical examples show how this mindset helped recover stalled growth, improve trust, and reduce churn while keeping humans central to AI-driven decisions.

355: Thinking Differently to Solve Nonprofit Problems (Sarah Tucker)EPISODE SUMMARY:Nonprofit leaders are often expected to solve complex problems with limited resources, increasing pressure, and entrenched ways of working. In this episode, Sarah Tucker introduces the work of Edward de Bono and explains why better outcomes require not just harder work, but different thinking. Sarah unpacks the concept of lateral thinking and how it differs from traditional linear or vertical problem solving. She explains why the human brain gets trapped in familiar patterns and how leaders can intentionally break those patterns to surface new options. The conversation explores practical applications for nonprofit leaders, including how Six Thinking Hats can reduce groupthink, rebalance power dynamics in meetings, and make decision-making more productive and inclusive.ABOUT SARAH:Sarah Tucker is a polymath with a portfolio career spanning journalism, broadcasting, publishing, education and corporate advisory work.

Why do so many leaders work hard to change — only to end up in the same place months later? What if the problem isn't effort, but the beliefs running in the background? In this episode of The Radical Candor Podcast, Kim Scott and Amy Sandler are joined by Muriel Wilkins — executive coach, C-suite advisor, host of Coaching Real Leaders, and author of Leadership Unblocked. Together, they unpack why high performers default to action, how action bias can backfire when internal beliefs stay the same, and what it takes to create sustainable leadership growth. Muriel introduces seven common “hidden blockers,” including I need it done now, I can't say no, and I don't belong here, and explains how these beliefs drive behavior that feels productive in the short term but creates dissonance over time. The conversation also explores how leaders can build the muscle of noticing what's happening internally, ask better coaching questions without attachment, and reduce unnecessary suffering by changing how they respond to challenges. If you've ever wondered, “Why do I keep ending up here again?” this episode offers a grounded, practical way forward.
