Sometimes the smallest tasks create the biggest mental weight. That pile of papers on your desk, the drawer you've been meaning to organize, the business process that needs updating – they sit there, taking up space in your mind every single day. The energy you spend thinking about these undone tasks often exceeds the energy required to actually complete them.   In this pep talk episode, I share a simple four-step process for moving past avoidance and procrastination to finally tackle those lingering tasks. Using my own closet overhaul as a real-world example, I walk through exactly how I shift from endless postponement to actual completion. The same process works for personal projects and business tasks that keep getting bumped to next week's to-do list.   Get full show notes, transcript, and more information here: https://www.desicreswell.com/154   For the resources mentioned in this episode or to book a strategy session to work 1:1 with me, click here: https://www.desicreswell.com/resources

The overarching definition of success today often looks like the accumulation of stuff – money, cars, property, clothing – anything that signals wealth. This means that success is also synonymous with overshoot, extraction, and consumption – none of which lead to healthy outcomes for the planet or the global good. But what might be possible if we were to redefine success to prioritize collective well-being instead of personal gain? In today's episode, Nate sits down with Dutch historian and author Rutger Bregman to discuss the concept of moral ambition, which he defines as the desire to be one of the best, measured by different standards of success: not by big payouts or fancy honorifics, but by the ability to tackle the world's biggest problems. Bregman highlights the importance of entrepreneurs in driving social change and the necessity of cultural shifts to foster a more altruistic society, as well as the challenges faced in pursuing these ideals. What possibilities might arise if we combined the idealism of an activist with the ambition of an entrepreneur? How can we apply the principles of entrepreneurship to better address global challenges? And how could a radical redefinition of success motivate the world's top talent to make major contributions to our most pressing issues, leaving a legacy that actually makes a difference? (Conversation recorded on July 8th, 2025)   About Rutger Bregman: Rutger Bregman is a Dutch historian and author. Initially considering a career as an academic historian, Rutger instead ventured into journalism. He began his career at the Dutch newspaper De Volkskrant before moving to the independent journalism platform De Correspondent, for which he wrote for ten years. His books Humankind: A Hopeful History (2020) and Utopia for Realists: And How We Can Get There (2017) were both Sunday Times and New York Times bestsellers and have been translated into 46 languages. In 2024, Rutger co-founded The School for Moral Ambition, a non-profit organization inspired by his latest book, Moral Ambition: Stop Wasting Your Talent and Start Making a Difference. The initiative helps people to take the step toward an impactful career.

Episode 278 is about Stop Faking it and Start Making it.     The phrase "Fake it 'til you Make it" is common career advice, but does it actually work? For many, it leads to imposter syndrome and burnout. It prioritizes perception over progress.   What if we adopted a more authentic and sustainable approach to growth? I explore this in my latest podcast episode, focusing on a new mantra: Make it until you make it.   This mindset is not about pretending. It's about doing. It's about building tangible skills, gaining real experience, and earning genuine confidence through consistent, imperfect action.   In the episode, I cover how to apply this to your professional and personal life, including: Moving from vague ambitions to specific, actionable goals. Embracing the learning curve and giving yourself permission to be a beginner. Building unstoppable momentum by documenting your efforts, not just judging the outcomes. This shift has been fundamental to my own growth, helping me build skills and confidence from the ground up.   How do you approach learning and development? Do you lean towards "faking it" or "making it"? I'd be interested to hear your experiences in the comments.   Share this episode with someone you think can benefit from Faking it to Making it. Until Next time.   Connect with Lisa: https://www.linkedin.com/in/lisathal/ http://threewordmeetings.com http://threewordpodcast

Have you ever been in a rush to get supper on the table and cracked a box of mac n cheese or pulled a pizza out of the freezer, and thought, well this isn't really what I wanted to serve my family, but it is what it is. I just don't have the time or the bandwidth to do something different. And I get it — life is busy, and convenience foods promise to make things easier. But here's the thing, a lot of those “shortcuts” actually cost us more money, they fill our kitchens with ingredients we can't even pronounce, and leave us with a less satisfying version of what they could have been. But, if you are looking for easy ways to feed your kids foods that they enjoy eating, that are actually good for them. There is a better way. Today, I want to share 7 convenience foods you can stop buying and start making at home, even if you feel like you are too busy. These are simple swaps, super kid-friendly, budget-friendly staples that will save you money, taste better, and give you that peace of mind that comes from knowing exactly what's in your food. I think sometimes the biggest barrier to providing healthy food for our family is ourselves. We tell ourselves we don't have enough time, that it's too complicated or too much when we have little kids, but it can actually be more manageable than what you realize. I hope this episode shifts your perspective on buying these 7 common convenience foods and easy ways you can make them at home instead.

In this episode of Disruption/Interruption, host KJ sits down with Bill Lederer, Founder and CEO of MADTECH.AI, to discuss how marketing analytics is being transformed by automation, AI, and decision intelligence. Bill shares his journey as a serial entrepreneur, the challenges of messy marketing data, and how his innovations are helping brands make smarter, faster decisions.

[6:57] - AI and automation are reducing the need for large teams in marketing analytics, allowing companies to do more with less. [11:32] - Automating data pipelines and transformations can lead to significant cost savings and efficiency gains. [13:04] - MADTECH.AI acts as a multi-tool for marketers, integrating data unification, visualization, and predictive analytics. [19:02] - Bill advises listeners to be skeptical of hype, test new technologies carefully, and focus on early ROI. Quote of the Show [23:42]:"The time compression in order to be able to do anything—to learn, to fix, to improve—it's a qualitative difference. The speed with which everything is able to be done now... it's dramatic. If you’re not leveraging this, you’re already behind." – Bill Lederer Join our Anti-PR newsletter where we’re keeping a watchful and clever eye on PR trends, PR fails, and interesting news in tech so you don't have to.

The cursor just blinks back at you while your brain screams, “Why can't I think of anything?”Here's the truth: creative blocks aren't just frustrating, they're expensive.

John DedakisFrom Journalist to Novelist (Or How I Learned to Start Making it UP)Personal experience is the grist of fiction. Budding novelists are taught to "write what you know." In my case, I know journalism, and I know grief and loss. During my 45 years in journalism (25 at CNN), I've interviewed presidents (Reagan and Carter), famous people (Alfred Hitchcock), covered the White House, and have been tear-gassed covering a riot. In my personal life, I've lost my sister to suicide and my youngest son to a heroin overdose.All of those experiences are baked into the six political thrillers I've written. Journalism and grief are backdrops and themes that make up the life of my protagonist, Lark Chadwick, a strong-willed and strong-minded twenty-something young woman.My first traditionally published novel came out 20 years ago. It took me 10 years to find my agent. During that time, the novel went through 14 major revisions, and my agent is the 39th agent I queried. That learning experience led to a second career as a manuscript editor and one-on-one writing coach. I'm also a keynote speaker and workshop leader. I inspire people who are struggling with grief to use writing as a way to heal. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

A question that haunts every single person about at least one band or artist that they used to love : what happened? In the longest episode of The Lizard Review yet, I go through four different examples of four VERY different artists who all have only one thing in common - they once were considered great artists, and now no longer are. Some of them become cheesy, some of them sell out, some of them grow up, some of them turn evil, and some of them just simply cannot recreate the magic that made them great in the first place. There are some hot takes in this episode, but I'm standing on business... This is a public episode.

Loretta discusses how using conversation instead of conflict—by focusing on your shared values over a desire for punishment—is the more strategic choice if you want to make real change. * This episode was recorded during a live online event on April 2nd, 2025.

Moral ambition is the will to make the world a wildly better place. To devote your career to the greatest challenges of our time. To be one of the best, but measured by a new standard of success.' – Rutger Bregman The brightest minds of our generation may dream of changing the world. But in reality most high achievers will settle for making a lot of money for themselves and their family. World renowned historian and bestselling author Rutger Bregman is on a mission to change that. In April, Bregman came to Intelligence Squared in venues across the UK to convince us that in our age of crisis, we need to stop wasting our talent in jobs that solely provide personal enrichment. Instead if we want to live a successful life we must devote our careers to making the world a radically better place. Bregman discussed why in 2025 social progress is not only stagnating in places but actively going in reverse. He argued that there are lessons from history that can help us overcome this trend and explain that the greatest change-makers have always needed to be both idealistic and ambitious. Drawing from his new book Moral Ambition: Stop Wasting Your Talent and Start Making a Difference, he discussed why efforts to ‘raise awareness' of social problems are overrated and uncover what he believes are the real qualities that have made change possible. He told the stories of some of history's great changemakers such as the German soldier who refused to salute Hitler or the Cambridge University student who dedicated his life to abolishing slavery. Bregman explained what made these changemakers so persuasive, influential and effective in achieving their goals. He showed how we, too, can lend our talents to the biggest challenges of our time. With moral ambition he argued, we can do more than be on the right side of history: we can start to make history itself. In addition to the book Rutger Bregman will be launching The School of Moral Ambition.

In this video I talk about why perfectionism has no place in language learning and how our brains actually use mistakes to learn.

When it comes time to choose a career, we're often told to follow our passions and optimize for things like title and salary. But rarely do we pause to consider the impact of our work and whether or not it actually matters. In a world where preventable tragedies occur every day, failing to consider the social impact of our careers is a missed opportunity – and perhaps a moral failing, too.  On this week's episode of Everyday Better, guest host Jessi Hempel talks with historian and bestselling author Rutger Bregman about his new book “Moral Ambition: How to Stop Wasting Your Talent and Start Making a Difference.” Rutger introduces his concept of “moral ambition,” which challenges readers to rethink what it means to success. Rutger makes the case that talented, privileged professionals must move beyond aiming for status, wealth and personal achievement and use their skills to address the world's most pressing problems. Preorder Rutger's book here. If you liked this episode, you'll also love this one: Finding Your Purpose Through Ikigai with Tim Tamashiro 

We've been taught to chase fancy job titles and large salaries, but what if we aimed for moral ambition instead? In this week's episode of Hello Monday, host Jessi Hempel sits down with historian and best-selling author Rutger Bregman to explore moral ambition: the idea that the core metric of a successful career should be the positive impact we have on the world. Rutger's new book, Moral Ambition: How to Stop Wasting Your Talent and Start Making a Difference, calls on all of us to rethink what we're really working for. If you've ever felt like there should be more to your job than climbing the ladder, this conversation is for you. Jessi and Rutger dive into: What moral ambition is—and why we need more of it Why “follow your passion” is the wrong advice How to shift from success-driven to service-driven work Why young professionals are funneled into finance and consulting The real-world heroes solving the world's biggest problems How to build coalitions and collaborate for impact This episode is a call to action for anyone who wants to do good—and do it well. Join the conversation at Hello Monday Office Hours! We'll be live on the LinkedIn News page this Wednesday at 3PM EST. Bring your questions and your curiosity; we'd love to hear what moral ambition looks like for you.

Why does it so often feel like the more society claims to value a job, the slimier it is? Why are so many brilliant minds funneled into the tech industry, only to spend their days optimizing ad clicks instead of solving real societal problems? What if jobs were desirable not because of how much money they pull in, but because they made the world better a better place? Today, Adam sits down with Dutch historian Rutger Bregman—author of MORAL AMBITION: Stop Wasting Your Talent and Start Making a Difference—to explore how we can rethink work, purpose, and the pursuit of impact.

In this powerful and deeply personal episode, Pete Cohen explores the transformative concept of "Stop To Start"—how taking intentional pauses can open the door to clarity, healing, and true progress. Pete reflects on the major stop moments in his life—from the unexpected meeting of his wife during a volcanic ash cloud in Croatia to facing profound loss with the passing of his wife, parents, and other life-altering experiences. These moments, though painful, became turning points that reshaped his life. You'll hear about: Why we need to pause before we progress The dangers of being busy just to be busy Pete's decision to step away from social media—and the liberation it brought The power of auditing your life across health, relationships, purpose, and service Reconnecting with the past to realign with what truly matters today A special reflection on legacy, presence, and the question: What are you really here for? Plus, an introduction to Pete's secret wellness weapon—reishi mushroom-infused tea and coffee Key Takeaway: “If you want to start something new, meaningful, or different… first, you need to stop. Stop to reflect. Stop to reconnect. Stop to make space for what really matters.” Questions to Reflect On: What do you need to stop doing in order to start what truly matters? Where are you right now in your life audit—your energy, your relationships, your purpose? What legacy are you creating with how you're living today?
