Shawn Dsouza: The Marathon Mindset—Building Agile Teams That Last Beyond Sprint Deadlines Read the full Show Notes and search through the world's largest audio library on Agile and Scrum directly on the Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast website: http://bit.ly/SMTP_ShowNotes. Shawn defines himself as a "people-first Scrum Master" who measures success not through metrics but through daily interactions and team growth. He contrasts two teams: one that hit deadlines but lacked collaboration (unsustainable success) versus another that struggled with deadlines but excelled in conversations and continuous improvement (sustainable growth). For Shawn, protecting deep work and fostering genuine team collaboration indicates true success. He emphasizes that product development is a marathon, not a sprint, and warns that lack of meaningful conversations will inevitably lead to team problems. In this segment, we refer to the book Clean Language by Sullivan and Rees.  Featured Retrospective Format for the Week: Sprint Awards Shawn champions the Sprint Awards retrospective format, moving beyond viewing retrospectives as just another Scrum event to recognizing them as critical team development opportunities. In this format, team members give awards to colleagues for various contributions during the sprint, with each award recipient explaining why they were chosen. Shawn prefers face-to-face, offline retrospectives and always starts with ice breakers to gauge how the team feels—whether they feel heard and connected. He believes in experimenting with different retrospective formats since no single approach works for every situation. Self-reflection Question: How do you balance achieving deliverable outcomes with building sustainable team relationships and collaboration patterns? [The Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast Recommends]

Shawn Dsouza: From AI Anxiety to AI Advantage: A Scrum Master's Experimental Approach Read the full Show Notes and search through the world's largest audio library on Agile and Scrum directly on the Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast website: http://bit.ly/SMTP_ShowNotes. Shawn faces the massive AI transformation currently reshaping the tech industry, acknowledging both its benefits and the fear it creates among professionals questioning their relevance. In his organization, he witnesses AI delivering wonders for some teams while others struggle and lose projects. Rather than viewing AI as an overwhelming wave, Shawn advocates for experimentation. He shares practical examples, like helping a Product Owner streamline story creation from Excel to JIRA using AI tools, and leveraging MIRO AI for team collaboration. His approach focuses on identifying friction points where AI experiments could add value while keeping conversations centered on possibilities rather than fears. Self-reflection Question: Instead of fearing technological changes like AI, how can you create small experiments to explore new possibilities and reduce friction in your current work processes?

Shawn Dsouza: The Database Migration Disaster— Why Software Development Teams Need Psychological Safety Read the full Show Notes and search through the world's largest audio library on Agile and Scrum directly on the Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast website: http://bit.ly/SMTP_ShowNotes. Shawn worked with a skilled team migrating a database from local to cloud-based systems, supported by a strong Product Owner. Despite surface-level success in ceremonies, he noticed the team avoided discussing difficult topics. After three months of seemingly smooth progress, they delivered to pre-production only to discover 140 critical issues. The root cause? Unspoken disagreements and tensions that festered beneath polite ceremony facades. The situation deteriorated to the point where a senior engineer quit, teaching Shawn that pausing to address underlying issues doesn't cost time—it builds sustainability. In this segment, we refer to the episodes with Mahesh Jade, a previous guest on the Scrum Master Toolbox podcast. Featured Book of the Week: The Advice Trap by Michael Bungay Stanier Shawn discovered this transformative book when he realized he was talking too much in team meetings despite wanting to add value. The Advice Trap revealed how his instinct to give advice, though well-intentioned, was actually self-defeating. The book taught him to stay curious longer and ask better questions rather than rushing to provide solutions. As Shawn puts it, "The minute you think you have the answer you stop listening"—a lesson that fundamentally changed his coaching approach and helped him become more effective with his teams. Self-reflection Question: When working with teams, do you find yourself jumping to advice-giving mode, or do you stay curious long enough to truly understand the underlying challenges?

Lost your spark? Dreading Monday again? You're not broken. You're just stuck in the wrong game.In this episode of the Be Unmessablewith podcast, I'm breaking down what's really going on when you lose passion for your work  and how to get it back.Here's what I've learned after coaching high-performing professionals for over 30 years: burnout isn't always about overwork. It's more often about being disconnected from your vision.Most people don't need a new job. They need a new relationship to what they're creating.If you've shifted from creation to management mode, reacting, maintaining, surviving, you will feel drained no matter how "successful" things look on paper.In this episode, I walk you through:The silent passion killers that hijack your dayHow to use a simple time audit to diagnose what's draining youWhat your body is trying to tell you about your workThe neuroscience behind burnout and how to reset itWhy a vision reset is more powerful than a vacationOne of My Favorite Moments: "You don't need to find your passion. You need to create it, and that starts with your language."If you've ever said “I used to love this but now I just feel numb,” this episode is your invitation to hit reset.Want to reignite your passion and start creating again? Grab my free Instant Reset Workbook and take 15 minutes to reconnect with what actually lights you up.https://beunmessablewith.com/instant-reset/Because Being Unmessablewith means creating from vision, not reacting from survival.

Shawn Dsouza: When Scrum Masters Forget to Listen - A Team Trust Crisis in Agile Implementation Read the full Show Notes and search through the world's largest audio library on Agile and Scrum directly on the Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast website: http://bit.ly/SMTP_ShowNotes. Shawn shares a powerful lesson about the importance of listening before implementing. Working with a young, talented team drowning in firefighting, he rolled out Scrum in "full" without taking time to understand the team's context. Going through the motions of Scrum ceremonies without genuine team ownership led to dropping energy levels and lost trust. The turning point came when Shawn realized the team had lost faith in his approach, prompting him to rebuild the process collaboratively with team ownership at its core. This story highlights how good intentions can backfire when we prioritize frameworks over people. Self-reflection Question: Before implementing any new process or framework, how do you ensure you truly understand your team's current challenges and context rather than jumping straight to solutions?

California lawmakers struck a sweeping last-minute climate and energy deal with Gov. Gavin Newsom — extending the state's cap-and-trade program to 2045, reauthorizing an $18 billion wildfire liability fund, and paving the way for a regional clean energy market.But the package also includes controversial concessions to oil and gas, including new drilling permits and a revived pipeline, sparking backlash from environmental justice advocates who decried the closed-door negotiations.

Stand Up and Be Heard!There is a Spark, No More Blurred Lines!

A menagerie of Badlands Media hosts gather for a raw and wide-ranging conversation in the wake of Charlie Kirk's assassination. They recount Codex 9/11 screenings across the country, reflect on the shifting political narratives around 9/11, and wrestle with the cultural fallout of celebrating a political murder. The discussion dives into cancel culture versus accountability, the ethics of databases outing those who cheered Kirk's death, and whether retribution feeds the psyop the enemy wants. Historical patterns, Cheney's role on 9/11, and the looming risk of a “second spark” are examined alongside personal stories of grief, resilience, and community. From Orwell quotes to the Smith–Mundt Act, the crew debates propaganda, free speech, and whether America can coexist with people who openly justify violence against their opponents. Equal parts somber, fiery, and reflective, this episode captures a movement grappling with grief and the dangerous crossroads ahead.

In this episode, I sit down with IFBB Pro Maja Dahmke, a 24-year-old natural competitor from Germany, who turned Pro in her first season!

If you've ever worried that you or your law practice are “too boring” to stand out, this conversation will change how you see yourself—and your marketing.In this episode, Bridgit sits down with Jimmy Lai, CEO of Lai & Turner Law in Oklahoma, where he helps immigrants secure U.S. visas to start, scale, and succeed in the U.S. But if you follow him online, you know him as the founder of the Unforgettable Professionals community—a space where so-called “boring” professionals learn to tell stories that attract clients, build authority, and actually make them unforgettable.Together, they dive into how Jimmy turned everyday experiences into content that resonates, why doubling down on one channel creates faster growth, and what consistency really looks like if you want lasting results.By the end, you'll see LinkedIn not as another task to manage, but as a powerful tool to transform your brand—and maybe even yourself.Key Takeaways from Bridgit and Jimmy:1. Pick One Channel and Double DownIt's tempting to try every platform at once, but growth comes from focusing on the channel that drives the biggest return.Once you know what works, reinvest in it before scattering your energy elsewhere.2. Storytelling Beats Legalese Every TimePeople don't connect with case updates—they connect with real stories, even small moments from daily life.Share personal, authentic content alongside authority-building posts to stay memorable.3. Nail the Hook or Lose the ReaderOn LinkedIn, the first three lines decide whether someone clicks “see more.”Spark curiosity right away, and keep paragraphs short and skimmable to respect busy professionals' attention spans.4. Optimize Your Profile Like a Sales PageDon't waste your headline with “Immigration Attorney.”Use clear, client-focused language that says who you help and how, so people immediately know why they should connect with you.5. Consistency Compounds into AuthorityOne post won't change your career, but consistent posting builds trust and recognition over time.Think long game—like SEO for your personal brand—and watch opportunities multiply. "You can be the best attorney in the world, but if no one knows you, if they don't like you, and if they don't trust you, you're going to struggle with business." — Jimmy LaiGet in touch with Jimmy Lai:Website: https://www.laiturnerlaw.com/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jimmylai-jdmba/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ThatAttorneyLai/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thatattorneylai/

Your Big Fat Juicy Life: Stephanie James There is no escaping death. I'm going to die and you're going to die. (But don't worry. Spoiler Alert: A part of you is going to go on forever and ever and ever.) If death is something that is such a universal experience—the eventual inevitability we all face, why is it so hard for us to talk about dying? We all know that at some point in this experience we call life, there is going to be a finish line, and we, as those before us, are going to one day cross it. This awareness can be something that drives you to do more and experience more with the limited time you have here on earth, or it can be experienced as anxiety and fear that your days are numbered and have you frantically trying to distract yourself from this reality. It can also be what leads you to dive more deeply into your spiritual life to find the meaning of it all. Order the Book >>> My Big Fat Juicy Life A respected therapist, filmmaker, and host of Igniting the Spark podcast, Stephanie weaves a tapestry of wisdom that is at once deeply personal and, at the same time, universally relatable. Her newest book, Your Big Fat Juicy Life ( and Everything After) Psychotherapist Stephanie James' heart-centered new book illuminates how we perceive life, death, and the magnificent spectrum of human experience. It is also a jubilant invitation to us all to wake up, breathe deeply, and dance with the mysteries of existence, knowing that our souls will continue beyond this 3D experience. Stephanie James Website Newsletter Sign Up Here - Stay Connected / SIMRAN's Community 11:11 Talk Radio...

We explore the monumental shift from SEO to GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) as AI platforms like ChatGPT and Perplexity become the new front doors to the internet, fundamentally changing how customers discover businesses online.• Traffic patterns are transforming as users get answers directly from AI without clicking through to websites• Content optimized for AI interpretation requires different approaches than traditional keyword-focused SEO• Organizations must shift from optimizing for keywords to building comprehensive topic frameworks• Users coming from AI platforms are more informed and show higher conversion rates despite lower overall traffic• Measuring success requires new metrics beyond traditional organic traffic numbers• Authority signals are evolving from backlinks to expertise indicators and authoritative source citations• Quality content formatted properly for AI consumption can be picked up and highlighted within days• Forward-thinking brands are experimenting with FAQ formats and structured content that AI models prefer• The future belongs to specialists who demonstrate deep expertise in specific niches• Human oversight remains essential to prevent recursive loops of "AI generating content for AI"The digital landscape is experiencing its most significant transformation since the rise of Google, as AI platforms like ChatGPT and Perplexity increasingly become users' first stop for information. This fundamental shift challenges everything we thought we knew about digital visibility.In this eye-opening discussion, we decode the evolution from traditional SEO to what experts variously call GEO (Generative Engine Optimization), AEO, or AIO. Our guests Rishi Mallik, Chief Growth Officer at Workato, and Eric Nalbone, client strategy lead at Position2, share frontline insights into how this transition is reshaping marketing strategies and customer journeys.The conversation reveals how forward-thinking organizations are adapting to a world where traffic patterns are dramatically changing. Rishi describes seeing approximately 20% of Workato's traffic now self-reported as coming from generative AI platforms.  Meanwhile, Eric challenges us to reconsider success metrics, asking provocatively: "If revenue is up but traffic is down, isn't that a win for everyone?"We explore the tactical shifts required to thrive in this new environment: moving from keyword-centric content to topic frameworks, optimizing content structure for AI interpretation, and rethinking how authority and expertise signals are communicated. You'll discover why FAQ formats perform well with AI models, how "borrowing authority" through explicit citation differs from traditional backlink strategies, and why creating comprehensive content hubs trumps isolated keyword-targeted pages.Rajiv Parikh: https://www.linkedin.com/in/rajivparikh/Rishi Mallik: https://www.linkedin.com/in/rishimallik/Rishi Mallik is currently the Chief Growth Officer at Workato, an AI-driven integration platform that automates workflows across enterprises, recognized as a Gartner and Forrester leader in the automation space.

Transcript:Da: Under jorden hang en svag lugt af metal og jord, mens lysstofrør i loftet kastede et koldt lys over de betonvægge.En: Underground, there hung a faint smell of metal and earth, while fluorescent lights on the ceiling cast a cold light over the concrete walls.Da: Hylderne i bunkeren var fulde af konserves, dåser, og stærkt lugtende paraffinlys.En: The shelves in the bunker were full of canned goods, tins, and strongly smelling paraffin candles.Da: Her stod Mikkel og Freja klar til at gøre deres evighedsindkøb en regnfuld efterårsdag.En: Here stood Mikkel and Freja ready to

varme!"En: We need light and warmth!"Da: Hans tone var alvorlig, mens han pillede ved sin lommelygte.En: His tone was serious as he fiddled with his flashlight.Da: Freja trak på skuldrene, men som

sammen.En: Mikkel fretted over the resources they had yet to gather.Da: Freja ønskede, de ikke glemte glæden i øjeblikkene.En: Freja wanted them not to forget the joy in the moments.Da: Pludselig gik lyset ud.En: Suddenly, the lights went out.Da: Stilheden i mørket var tung, kun afbrudt af lyden af deres åndedræt.En: The silence in the darkness was heavy, only interrupted by the sound of their breathing.Da: "Freja?"En: "Freja?"Da: kaldte Mikkel, stemmen lidt hæs af nervøsitet.En: called Mikkel, his voice a bit hoarse with nervousness.Da: "Jeg er her," svarede hun beroligende.En: "I'm here," she replied reassuringly.Da: Hun famlede i sin taske og trak en håndfuld glow sticks op.En: She fumbled in her bag and pulled out a handful of glow sticks.Da: Med et klik begyndte de at gløde i livlige farver, og rummet blev oplyst af en dansende regnbue.En: With a snap, they began to glow in lively colors, and the room was lit with a dancing rainbow.Da: Mikkel kunne ikke lade være med at grine.En: Mikkel couldn't help but laugh.Da: En lettelse skyllede over ham.En: A relief washed over him.Da: "Okay, måske var de glow sticks ikke en så dårlig idé alligevel," indrømmede han og skænkede hende et skævt smil.En: "Okay, maybe the glow sticks weren't such a bad idea after all," he admitted, giving her a crooked smile.Da: De to arbejdede sammen om at få bunkeren klar.En: The two worked together to get the bunker ready.Da: Mikkel stolede på Frejas øje for det sjove, og Freja stolede på Mikkels praktiske sans.En: Mikkel relied on Freja's eye for fun, and Freja relied on Mikkel's practicality.Da: De fandt en balance.En: They found a balance.Da: Da de endelig stod ved udgangen, tungt lastede med forsyninger og lidt ekstra fornøjelser, havde de lært noget nyt.En: When they finally stood at the exit, heavily loaded with supplies and a few extra pleasures, they had learned something new.Da: "Vi klarede det," sagde Mikkel og kiggede kærligt på Freja.En: "We did it," said Mikkel, looking affectionately at Freja.Da: "Ja, og i morgen kan vi øve os i at kaste lys sticks i mørket," lo hun tilbage og holdt hans hånd fast.En: "Yes, and tomorrow we can practice tossing glow sticks in the dark," she laughed back and held his hand tightly.Da: Mens de klatrede op ad trappen, forenet i et øjeblik af fælles forståelse, vidste de, at det var denne balance, der ville holde dem sikre – og glade.En: As they climbed the stairs, united in a moment of mutual understanding, they knew it was this balance that would keep them safe – and happy.

Send us a textToday we're wrapping up our deep dive videos for our newest miniseries covering the Anne of Green Gables 8-book collection by L.M. Montgomery. Anne is now a mother of six, navigating a reality in which herself, her husband, and all of her children exist in World War One Canada. What does this mean for the country, the world, and more specifically, the Blythe family and the small community they live in? We're here to give you the “411” on these lesser-read books in this series, and answer the question of whether or not they're worth the read.In this episode we dive into books seven and eight: Rainbow Valley and Rilla of Ingleside - we've moved past the well-known perspective of Anne Shirley and are now seeing the world through the eyes of her children, and more specifically, her youngest daughter Rilla. What do we think about the differences, and how do we currently feel about the focus slowly shifting away from Anne and predominantly onto her daughter? Who were our favorite and least favorite characters and plot points? Do we think these books carry on the feminist legacy of the more popular installations, and how did we feel about reading a “war book?”Check out our kickoff episode all about what the Bildungsroman is, why women and girl's stories are so important for everyone to read, and how Montgomery expertly uses this book series to critique social and political issues of the early 1900's, with an emphasis on women's roles in society. We also provide a bit of context by discussing Montgomery's life, and the political climate in Canada when this story takes place. Coming of age tales can be so much more than simple children's books. We're here to discover why! Listen on for our reviews of the final books: seven and eight, our deep dive reactions, and important things we learned about history because of this book. Like where daylight savings time comes from, where the draft is legal, and why several pages of Rilla of Ingleside were redacted until 2010.And stick around for next week - the final Anne episode where we rank the books and all of the 1980's movie adaptations! Check out our Anne of Green Gables Playlist | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WLmUGmwxrZs&list=PLHf5v0KOoZMk43z5cbKp6b9WVMXwsYWki&pp=gAQB SHOP OUR NEW BESTIES and the BOOKS X CROW Merch! | * https://besties-and-the-books-shop.fourthwall.comDon't be shy, subscribe!

In this episode of the Wine and Gold Talk podcast, Ethan Sands and Jimmy Watkins answer Subtext subscriber questions about the Cavs. The conversation delves into the team's defense, concluding that a return to a top-tier defensive identity relies on both player effort and, more importantly, a top-down organizational philosophy that prioritizes defensive-minded lineups and personnel, a shift they believe is reflected in recent offseason acquisitions. The hosts also debate whether mentorship from a quiet but dominant player like Tim Duncan or an intense competitor like Kevin Garnett would be more beneficial to helping Cleveland's soft-spoken front court develop a more aggressive playoff mentality.

In episode 711 of the 40+ Fitness Podcast, Coach Allan sits down with Heike Yates—fitness coach, former bodybuilder, ultramarathon runner, and author of Pursue Your Spark: Your Guide to Escaping Midlife Traps, Reclaiming Confidence and Living Fully. Together, they unpack the unique challenges and opportunities that come with midlife, exploring how both women and men can break free from old patterns, reclaim their confidence, and truly thrive. Drawing from Heike's 40+ years of experience, the conversation dives deep into the emotional and practical “gaps” that hold people back—from lack of confidence and skewed expectations, to missing knowledge, support, and self-awareness. Heike shares her powerful SPARK framework—a step-by-step approach to self-assessment, planning, taking action, removing roadblocks, and keeping momentum—that empowers listeners to reimagine what's possible for their health, fitness, and happiness in midlife.

In March of 1993, 37-year-old Blake Nex vanished from his home in Claremont, California. Blake's family grew concerned when they couldn't reach him, so a relative went to check his house. At first glance, nothing seemed amiss. There were no signs of a struggle or forced entry, but the scene inside Blake's home told an even stranger story. Groceries were still sitting on the counter, as if Blake had just come home from the store and been plucked out of his life in the middle of an ordinary day. His cats were left behind to fend for themselves, along with five hundred dollars in cash, but Blake himself was nowhere to be found.A couple of weeks later, Blake's truck turned up in the parking lot of a local airport. No one could say when it had been left there or by whom. Then, after his disappearance, Blake's home was broken into. An answering machine, toolbox, and several expensive bicycles were stolen, only adding to the mystery.When Blake's family reported him missing, they felt the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department brushed off their concerns. At the time, department policies didn't require them to take reports for missing adults, and they considered Blake to be voluntarily missing. Nearly two decades would slip by before law enforcement finally took up the case. By then, Blake's trail had gone ice cold. Any evidence that could have revealed what happened to Blake was already gone, swallowed by time and by the investigation that never began.Now, decades later, Blake's loved ones are determined to reignite the search for answers, holding onto the hope that the truth about his disappearance can still be uncovered.If you have any information regarding the disappearance of Blake Nex, please contact the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department at (323) 890-5500. For more information, visit https://www.findblakenex.com, where you can learn more about his case and reach out to his loved ones who are still searching for answers.If you have a missing loved one that you would like to have featured on the show, please fill out our case submission form.Follow The Vanished on social media at:FacebookInstagramTwitterPatreonSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
