Watch the YouTube version of this episode HEREAre you looking to learn from another lawyer about lessons learned in the legal space? In this episode of the Maximum Lawyer podcast, host Tyson Mutrux interviews Brett Stewart about his career journey, highlighting both his successes and failures. Brett shares valuable insights into the risks he took in business, the challenges of leadership, and the importance of fostering a healthy team environment. Brett chats about the need to create a healthy team for a successful law firm. A healthy team has good conflict where people can share ideas and there is a sense of security where leaders will appreciate the feedback or thoughts of those under them. Another thing to consider is to establish team roles and who should do what. It is important to understand from the perspective of the owner how you want your team to look. Consult those on the team to get opinions on who should be responsible for what and how the team should function. It is best to do this collaboratively to ensure everyone is happy and knows their roles.Using EOS systems is an integral part of running a successful firm. It is important to figure out how to use a system to fit your goals, without weakening it. EOS can make complicated systems or processes a lot easier, but it shouldn't be used to manage or control every part of your firm. Brett shares how EOS should be used to shine a light on the important things that need it and your staff should manage everything else.Listen in to learn more!01:34 Risks in Business Decisions 05:40 Consequences of Business Decisions 07:30 Building a Healthy Team 12:00 Team Decision-Making Process 15:34 Team Values and Characteristics 18:13 Identifying Table Stakes Values 26:23 Complexity in Multi-Niche Businesses33:02 Focus System of EOS 36:17 Time Management in Meetings 49:01 Managing Depression and Work Tune in to today's episode and checkout the full show notes here.

My guest for Episode #304 of the My Favorite Mistake podcast is Dr. Tia Warrick, a clinical research leader, epidemiologist, author, and entrepreneur who has spent nearly a decade working in the pharmaceutical and biotech industries. Episode page with video, transcript, and more She's the founder of Lesous Consulting, a firm dedicated to supporting clinical research professionals and organizations through education, business analytics, and strategic consulting. With a strong academic background—including a doctorate in health science and clinical health education—Dr. Warrick is committed to empowering the next generation of researchers and bringing more awareness to the vast career opportunities within clinical research. In this episode, Dr. Warrick shares her "favorite mistake"—not speaking up for herself early in her career. She candidly reflects on a time when she took on significantly more responsibilities than her job description called for but hesitated to advocate for a promotion or raise. Her story highlights how staying silent led to missed opportunities and feelings of frustration. But more importantly, she explains how learning to take accountability and find her voice ultimately fueled her confidence, career progression, and entrepreneurial path. We also explore the broader challenges and opportunities within the clinical research industry, especially for early-career professionals who may not realize the variety of roles available. Dr. Warrick discusses the importance of mentorship, the need for greater visibility into clinical research career paths, and her motivation for writing Burst the Bubble, a book designed to inform and inspire future talent in the pharmaceutical world. She also touches on how she now teaches others to confidently advocate for themselves—whether during salary negotiations or while shaping their career direction. Questions and Topics: What's your favorite mistake, and what did you learn from it? Was your early role as a clinical research coordinator before or after your advanced degrees? When did you realize you should have spoken up for yourself sooner? Was there a mentor or moment that helped you come to that realization? After receiving a small raise, did you try to advocate for more or take another path? Do you share this lesson with students or early-career professionals you mentor? How do you coach others on negotiating compensation and advocating for themselves? Why is it especially important to speak up early in your career? What are some misconceptions people have about roles in clinical research? How do you raise awareness about the breadth of opportunities in the field? How strong is the job outlook in clinical research, and how might AI impact it? What was the inspiration behind founding Lesous Consulting? What leadership lessons have you learned so far as a new entrepreneur? How do you create a culture where people feel safe to speak up and share feedback? What does psychological safety look like in your company and classroom? Can you tell us about the AI platform you're developing and how it supports clinical research?

If you've ever stayed quiet in a meeting, held your tongue in a relationship, or worried that speaking up would come off the wrong way, you're not alone. This week, Sarah sits down with Siri Chilazi, co-author of Make Work Fair, for a heartfelt conversation about why it's so hard to advocate for ourselves, and how that struggle is often rooted in systems that were never built with fairness in mind. But it's not all bad news, Siri also shares hopeful, practical ideas for how we can push for change, both in our own lives and in the structures around us. That includes real ways leaders can show up differently and create workplaces where everyone has a chance to be heard.Whether you're feeling stuck, burnt out, or just craving something better, this episode is a reminder that your voice matters.Listen to more podcasts like this: https://wavepodcastnetwork.com/This Changes Everything Voicemail: Send in your question by calling or texting ‪(313) 338-8828‬Read Make Work Fair by Siri Chilazi and and Iris BohnetConnect with Siri on LinkedInThis Changes Everything is sponsored by BetterHelp.

In today's episode, I share an issue I've been thinking about for a while - finding the balance between speaking up and letting things go.In other words, when things annoy us or seem unjust, should we speak up and say something? Or should we prioritise our mental health and let it go? I share some of my own views with this and encourage you to get in touch with yours too. I also share lots of expressions related to this topic.Show notes page - https://levelupenglish.school/podcast319Sign Up for Free Lessons - https://www.levelupenglish.school/#freelessonsJoin Level Up English - https://courses.levelupenglish.schoolBy becoming a member, you can access all podcast transcripts, listen to the private podcast and join live lessons and courses on the website.

Time for another encore! Ep.80 is even more relevant now than when I recorded it one year ago. And in the newly updated intro, I share audio from Saturday's Hands Off Protest in Flagstaff, Arizona - one of over 1400 protests around the globe where over 5 million individuals said aw-hell-no to the Trump regime's patriarchal power flex. Daddy issues are alive in the zeitgeist right now and, like it or not, they are shaping our collective responses (or lack thereof). This episode takes a closer look.Ep.80 (original release date May 1, 2024) — Candice opens with an anecdote about an awkward interpersonal interaction with a Fox News enthusiast, then gets personal, sharing from the pages of her unpublished memoir. Through a series of intimate flashbacks, she examines how her loving yet over'bear'ing stepfather shaped her people-pleasing persona early in life and what it may have taught her about the social costs of speaking up. The episode then circles back to an early theme in the ‘cult'ure series convo - don't poke the bear - riffing on how social systems reward bullying behavior and confuse everyday allies with villains. She touches upon some hot-button topics; all the while speaking about why doing so feels so damned edgy - especially in the digital age. And she introduces TDP listeners to some of the folks she's been watching closely to learn more about their refreshing responses to trolls and haters.  Learn what Candice considers "bully backlash bingo" as listen in as she shares her ongoing fascination with whistleblowers. Then (sorry-not-sorry) things get political as she paves the way for where the ‘cult'ure series is headed next. Referenced In This Episode:Robert Jay LiftonJohn Lewis - Good TroubleBrittany Voie & The Wonder Woman videoAlok Vaid-Menon on InstagramOne Way Back: A Memoir, by Christine Blasey FordDoppelganger: A Trip Into The Mirror World, by Naomi KleinSupport the showThe stories and opinions shared in this episode are based on personal experience and are not intended to malign any individual, group, or organization.Join The Deeper Pulse at Patreon for weekly bonus episodes + other exclusive bonus content.

Senator Cory Booker spoke for over 25 consecutive hours on the floor of the United States Senate this week. He Spoke Up and he Spoke Out. It was not a partisan speech.  It was a speech about right and wrong. As leaders, we are all called to do the right thing. This is our call to action.  Speaking Up and Speaking Out is a leader's call to action. We do this with our voice and with our vote. Speak Up and Speak Out.

When one woman speaks up, it's never just about her story—it's a challenge to the systems that rely on silence to maintain control. In a world where narratives are carefully shaped and dissent is often dismissed, reclaiming power means refusing to accept the version of reality that's handed down. The more voices that rise, the harder it becomes to ignore the truth, no matter how inconvenient it may be. Real change doesn't start with permission; it starts with the courage to be heard.Sage Steele is a distinguished sports broadcaster and media personality who spent 16.5 years at ESPN before launching The Sage Steele Show on YouTube. As a former SportsCenter host and basketball sideline reporter, she is known for her fearless approach to discussing controversial topics and advocating for women's rights. Today, Sage shares her journey of finding courage, navigating challenges in the media industry, and her passionate advocacy for protecting women's sports. Join in as young leaders pose inquiries about life, personal development, and beyond!Quotes: “Don't waste my pain. If you ignore what I've been through, it will have been for nothing. Use this, be better, make better decisions, and don't doubt yourself as long as I did.” – Sage Steele“I've always preached diversity of thought, and that's all I've ever wanted. I don't actually care how you vote, what you think, what you do - I care how do you treat people.” – Sage Steele“When you're vulnerable, others are more willing to be vulnerable too, and when we all share our stories, others realize they're not alone.” – Sage Steele“There's a human element we seek—the morals and values that connect us. We're not looking for everyone to share our opinions on everything; we're looking for shared values.” – Matt BeaudreauTakeaways:Practice courage by speaking up for your beliefs, even when it's uncomfortable or might cost you professionally.Audit your self-talk and seek help when struggling with personal challenges instead of suffering silently.Challenge yourself to have meaningful conversations with people who think differently, focusing on shared humanity over political divisions.Reflect on areas where fear prevents you from taking action and identify one small step to push past that hesitation.Commit to supporting others by sharing your personal experiences authentically, recognizing that vulnerability can help people feel less alone.Conclusion:In a time of deep division, honest conversations and courage have the power to bring people together and drive real change. Speaking up for your beliefs, even when it comes at a cost, can break cycles of fear and complacency. Those who refuse to stay silent set an example for others, proving that progress starts with people willing to take a stand. Change doesn't happen through avoidance—it happens when people choose integrity over comfort.

If YOU don't respect yourself, NO ONE else will. For too long, I let people take advantage of me, cross my boundaries, and dictate my worth. But here's the truth: The way people treat you is a REFLECTION of what you ALLOW. In this episode of Harder Than Life, I'm breaking down exactly what it takes to stop being a doormat, take back your power, and command the respect you deserve—in business, relationships, and life. Inside this episode, you'll learn: ✅ The painful lessons that forced me to stand up for myself ✅ How fear of confrontation is keeping you stuck ✅ The game-changing mindset shift that makes self-respect effortless ✅ Why setting boundaries actually makes people respect you MORE ✅ Simple, no-BS strategies to stop people-pleasing and start owning your worth

She speaks candidly about the backlash she has faced, the importance of resilience, and why she refuses to stay silent in the face of inequality.

This episode is one of the most personal I've ever shared.Recently, my daughter and I walked through something incredibly painful in a space that was supposed to be safe. When I chose to advocate for her, the response I received from someone in the mental health field was shocking—and honestly, heartbreaking.In this episode, I read that message aloud (without naming names), and share the truth behind it—not to create conflict, but to start a larger conversation about boundaries, community, emotional safety, and what it really means to stand in integrity.This is not about blame or cancel culture. This is about holding space for truth—especially when it's hard. Especially when our kids are watching.If you've ever spoken up for your child… If you've ever been told you're “too much”… If you've ever felt dismissed, silenced, or shamed for standing your ground…This episode is for you.⚠️ Content warning: emotional invalidation, power imbalance, and boundary-crossing from a trusted figure.This isn't just a story.

Given our political situation in the United States, you may be hearing a lot of people–myself included–talk about living your values. Not just professing them, but really living them, even when it's uncomfortable. It's hard work that requires a lot of internal fortitude.But we so often default to acting against our values in order to protect ourselves and those we love from real or perceived danger–to our jobs, our reputations, dignity, physical safety, and more. We try to protect ourselves with compliance, while our silence does real harm to others.Those who have a history of relational trauma are especially likely to fear speaking up, even as they know their values and moral expectations are being violated. This collision of relational trauma with moral injury reinforces beliefs that the world is unsafe and that people in power cannot be trusted.My guest today is a survivor of abuse and cultish communities. She leans on her experiences of relational trauma and moral injury in her writing, teaching, and advocacy. The ongoing healing of her relational and betrayal wounds allows her to lead with courage and clarity, especially when it is not easy or convenient.Jamie Marich, Ph.D. (she/they) speaks internationally on EMDR therapy, trauma, addiction, dissociation, expressive arts, yoga, and mindfulness.

Mike "C-Roc" welcomes Ivna Curi, a TEDx speaker, Forbes contributor, and author of Unapologetic Voice. As the host of the Speak Your Mind Unapologetically podcast, Ivna empowers individuals to become their own best advocates at work, confidently making their voices heard without fear of being labeled aggressive or facing retaliation. She shares her journey from extreme shyness and people-pleasing to becoming assertive and unapologetically outspoken. Growing up in Brazil, Ivna struggled with societal expectations and cultural norms that reinforced her quiet, obedient nature. However, a deep desire to break free from those limitations led her to explore new perspectives around the world, eventually landing in the United States after an international career. She and C-Roc discuss the power of assertiveness, the importance of challenging norms, and how embracing disruption can lead to success. Ivna's story is an inspiring testament to the courage it takes to speak up and carve your own path.Website-https://assertiveway.com/Social Media Links/Handles-https://www.instagram.com/assertiveway/https://www.linkedin.com/in/ivna-curi-mba-67083b2/

We've just published a new rapid review on the safety and efficacy of physician and anaesthetic associates in the UK, which was commissioned to support the ongoing Leng review of these new roles in the NHS. Trish Greenhalgh, professor of primary care at the University of Oxford, joins us to discuss the data she found. Habib Naqvi is director of the NHS Race and Health Observatory, and is holding up a mirror to the NHS on it's support for ethnic minority patients and doctors - he joins us to talk about the work they've done, and why Reform UK's manifesto pledge to disband the Observatory is a matter of pride.  Finally, our annual trip to the Nuffield Summit is not complete without a roundtable, this year we asked the question "What is stopping staff from speaking up?". Our panellists raised the usual issues of hierarchy and psychological safety, but also how the lack of positive change from senior leadership has habituated people into thinking "why bother".

Send us a MessageIn this solo episode of Culture Change RX, I discuss the critical concept of psychological safety within healthcare organizations so that employees feel safe to voice their concerns and ideas and freely provide feedback and input. This episode prompts leaders to consider:  Are your employees hiding behind anonymity? If so, this episode outlines practical tactics for leaders to foster psychological safety, including embracing both anonymous and identified feedback, responding to feedback effectively, modeling vulnerability, and celebrating employees who speak up.

The one thing most people fear more than death? Public speaking.¹ There's something about standing in front of another person (or multiple people) and sharing our thoughts, ideas, and feedback that makes us want to shrink until we evaporate. But sometimes, neglecting to speak up for yourself can have harmful repercussions. Here to help you see past your fear this week is Darlene Brock and Julie Bender, who get to work excavating the possible reasons why speaking up is so terrifying. Maybe you've often been ignored, or never taken seriously, or you feel you'll come across as foolish (hello, imposter syndrome!). No matter the reason, one thing is for certain: there will be a void left by what you're not saying. Darlene and Julie discuss the myriad benefits of speaking up for yourself: setting critical boundaries; encouraging others; making life-changing connections; and more. When we choose to say what's on our hearts and minds, even when it's hard or we doubt ourselves, we're affording those around us not only with new information to chew on, but a reminder of our presence and impact. ¹https://www.mentalhealth.com/library/what-we-fear-more-than-death  Quote of the episode: “Someone not hearing you might say more about them as a listener than you as a speaker.” —Julie Bender Resources Related "Establishing Healthy Boundaries in the Grit and Grace Life" "Are You Afraid to Speak Up When Others Disagree? - 224" Mentioned Check out the Smart Living book series here!

Silence has never stopped evil - it only fuels it. We've seen it before. Nazi Germany. 9/11. Tehran, 1979.  And now, once again, the world is looking away. As thousands are slaughtered in Syria, as anti-Semitism spreads like wildfire, and as Israel faces existential threats, the silence is deafening. In this episode, we unpack the ancient and modern battle against the Jewish people - and why the story of Esther, Mordecai, and Purim is more relevant than ever.  The enemy's tactics haven't changed. Neither has the need for bold voices to rise up. Esther had a choice: speak up or stay silent. You have the same choice today. Key Takeaways Silence feeds evil. History shows that when the world stays quiet, the worst atrocities unfold. Israel is under attack - again. The enemies of the Jewish people are always calling for annihilation, and today is no different. The Book of Esther is about courage. God's name is hidden, but His hand is clear - just like today. Evil always overplays its hand. Haman thought he had won - until the tables turned. This is your Esther moment. Will you speak out, or will you look away?

On Valentine's Day 4,400 Public Land workers were abruptly and illegally terminated from their positions and since then, news of executive orders geared to threaten and exploit our public lands for their natural resources have been flooding headlines. To better understand the gravity of this situation and to hear straight from those most directly effected we are joined by Yosemite and Devils Postpile Ranger Alex Wild, Liz Crandall a field ranger in Deschutes National Forest, and Morgan Smith a Biological Science Technician for the US Forest Service. All three were recently terminated from their jobs due to the recent federal budget cuts. They share their love of the outdoors, explain the importance of their jobs and speak to the dangerous repercussions our public lands will experience as a result of these terminations and resulting extreme staffing shortages.

For today's episode, we're releasing a fascinating conversation that Aubrey had with Rich Hanks about the life and legacy of his father, Marion D. Hanks. For those who know his name, you'll know exactly why this conversation matters so much to us—Marion D. Hanks embodied so many of the values we hold dear. He was a leader of immense integrity, a champion for those on the margins, and a disciple of Christ in the truest sense. Even today, the ripples of his influence continue to shape the Church and the lives of so many.President David O. McKay once gave him a blessing with a simple but powerful charge: “Let your voice be heard, even if it is in opposition to the stated norms.” And he did. For forty years, he consistently pushed for change—advocating for humanitarian work long before it became a priority, fighting against the priesthood and temple ban, and insisting that sustaining leaders meant honest engagement, not silent agreement.Rich shared incredible stories about his father—the ways he stood up to cultural and institutional pressures, his deep reverence for the individual, and his unwavering belief that true discipleship is rooted in love, not conformity. He also spoke movingly about his father's final years, as dementia slowly took hold, and the lessons of grace and devotion that emerged even in that difficult season. More than anything, we were struck by how Marion D. Hanks' entire life was centered on lifting, healing, and serving—just as Christ did.We are so grateful to Rich for sharing these stories. We think this conversation will be inspiring to anyone who has ever wrestled with how to live their faith with integrity, courage, and compassion. And with that, we'll jump right into our conversation with Rich Hanks.

In this episode, we tackle a conversation we'd rather avoid—but know we must have. How can leaders create the conditions for constructive dialogue in divisive times? Do they take a stand based on their company's vision, values, and business needs, even if it alienates some? Or do they stay silent, wary of the risks in today's political climate? We don't claim to have “the” answer, but we do offer ideas on how to: • Prepare people for difficult conversations. • Take it slow—without turning it into an initiative or labeling it. • Act once you're grounded in what's real and what the company needs. • Foster a space for candid, honest dialogue. No neatly wrapped solutions here—just real talk. We think you'll enjoy it anyway. Come on in, grab a snack, and welcome!

When was the last time you really stood up and spoke your truth? Not just in little moments, but when it truly counted? Many of us learned as kids to keep quiet to avoid rocking the boat. But that silence? It might just be holding you back from the life you want. In this episode, we're diving into why speaking up can be so scary + how those old habits from childhood can keep us stuck. It's all about learning to tune out that inner child and finding your voice again so you can live a life where you actually get what you need and feel heard. Feeling stuck?

Episode #620 with Steve Magness, author of Win The Inside Game Notes: Clearly define your purpose and what you want to do. For Steve, it's: "Explore interesting ideas that will help people." "Those things will help me too. I'm curious about them." Defining that one sentence frees you up to say no to those things outside of your purpose and to focus on actions within that align with your purpose. Steve's Framework for Sustainable Excellence: Be - Clarity on who you are Do - Clairty in your pursuits Belong - Clarity on where and how you fit in Steve stood up as a whistleblower after earning his dream job at Nike, showing courage and sticking to his values and ethics. Why don't we speak up? We have a built in preservation system. We justify, rationalize, and avoid it because it minimizes the negative feeling in the short term. Don't play prevent defense. Give yourself the permission and freedom to fail. Diversify sense of self. Don't intertwine a sense of self with success or fear of failure. Diversify your sense of self—don't intertwine your identity solely with success or the fear of failure. It's not an all-or-nothing game. Outcomes matter, but they aren't everything. Focus on process goals and let outcomes be a byproduct of good effort. Set your environment up to define what success means for you. Big achievements, like becoming a best-selling author, rarely feel as fulfilling as imagined. Success can be multi-dimensional and definitionally nuanced. The Power of Belonging When facing a challenge (like climbing a hill), it feels easier when you're with others versus alone. We need each other. We share the load. Surround yourself with compounders. "We are built to belong." It is a mistake to make success or failure a virtue. It's not "I'm a failure." It's, "I failed at that thing." It's temporary. It's not who you are. In moments of stress (e.g., choking in sports like Simone Biles), your brain defaults to survival mode and shuts down higher-level functions. Strategies to overcome it: Narrow your focus: Break tasks into smaller, actionable steps. Create a personal definition of success to shift focus from fear. Try doing something unexpected or crazy to reset your perspective. To have a meaningful life we need to feel Coherent - Life adds up. You have a cohesive story.  Significant - You matter and can make a difference. Directed - There's a purpose to your life and pursuits. Belonging - Part of something bigger than you. “This book is for those who stood up, found courage, and stuck to their values and ethics.”
