Times Have Changed for CEO's...Get Switched On! In high-pressure moments, are you truly in control of your decisions, or is your brain just reacting? The truth is, when stress kicks in, most of us default to old patterns stored in the back of our brains—patterns that often lead to bad choices. That's why Steven R. Falk, author of The Switched On CEO, is joining A New Direction to reveal how leaders can retrain their brains to think strategically—even in the heat of the moment. We like to believe we're rational decision-makers, but when the stakes are high, our survival instincts take over. Falk's Switchback System is designed to help leaders recognize when they're slipping into reactive thinking and switch back to the rational, problem-solving part of the brain. If you're leading a business, a team, or even just your own career, mastering this skill is a game-changer. Great leaders don't just survive under pressure—they thrive because they know how to take control of their own minds. Falk will share how the best CEOs, entrepreneurs, and decision-makers override fear-based thinking, break free from unproductive mental loops, and make smarter choices—no matter the circumstances. If you've ever felt stuck or frustrated by the way you react in high-stress situations, you don't want to miss this conversation. This isn't just another leadership talk—it's a chance to rewire the way you think, lead, and make decisions when it matters most. Invite your colleagues, and get ready to flip the switch on your leadership! Steven Falk's Book, "The Switched-On CEO: How to Think Like a World-Class Leader" is one of the most insightful looks at the psychology of the CEO you will find. The book is a rediscovery of who we are, not just as CEO's, but people. How we are so easily triggered by past thoughts in the back of our brain that we lose control of ourselves and our decision-making processes. As soon as something happens in our life, or the wrong person says the wrong thing, the next thing you know, our rational/logical thinking front brain is taken over by escalating emotion and irrationality. And hence, we become "predictably irrational". This book is a look at how our thinking betrays us. How we can move those past negative memories that trigger us (which Steven Falk calls our "Xs"), move them into the front of our brain, deal with them and move on. The key to all of this...A growth mindset. We must have the willingness and firm belief that we can change! But not only us, but that others can change as well. Steven then adapts the Switchback process to the concept of TEAM. He digs into "The 3-Lane conversation" where he will even discuss how to deal with the difficult conversation that CEO's must have. The book is a "how-to" guide for anyone who wants to move themselves, their TEAM, and their entire company to a "world-class" level. The Switched-On CEO, is truly a powerful, practical book.

Nestled in the east-west corridor of the Central Coast is the Sta. Rita Hills AVA. It is only one of three like it in the world. What makes it special is the morning fog that burns off slowly, and is perfect for growing Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Allie has an excellent example of Pinot Noir from a prime vineyard made by one of our favorite producers. Julie brings a little history and overview of when and why this area was designated for greatness. We finish with some history of the people who helped form the Sta. Rita Hills, in particular Richard Sanford. Through a series of smart choices and partnerships, people banded together to learn and grow the AVA from the roots up. Listen up, and get to know a phenomenon that Sanford has been known to refer to as "refrigerated sunshine."Grab a glass of Pinot Noir or Chardonnay and join us! Cheers!

After a summer of record heat waves, I'm sure we're all grateful for air conditioning. And we know, it's not just about comfort or productivity, but with extreme heat, being able to cool buildings keeps people safe. Yet, it comes at a cost: air conditioning today is responsible for about 3% of global greenhouse gas emissions and demand is set to triple by 2050.Maybe you're thinking that heat pumps are the answer and will come to the rescue? They're certainly an important part of the solution, but until electric heat pumps are plugged into a grid that is fully powered by clean energy, efficiency matters a great deal. Enter Mojave HVAC. Their liquid desiccant technology can cut the energy needed for cooling commercial spaces by 30-50%. For today's conversation, I'm joined by Mojave Founder & CEO Phil Farese. We spoke about Phil's past and how he learned about the economics of energy efficiency, Mojave's business model, technology, and its potential role in keeping us cool without overheating the planet. Here we go. In today's episode, we cover:[03:01] Phil's background & what led him to founding Mojave HVAC[05:07] Mojave & the problem that they're solving[07:24] The limitations of heat pumps [10:36] Focusing on efficiency & using less energy for our HVAC needs[13:53] How Mojave's technology was developed & where the business is at [16:04] Mohave's target market & how sales are progressing [17:21] Other insights on Mohave's product [18:21] The overall opportunity for business & impact[19:42] Emissions savings through technology adoption[20:25] Drivers of demand for Mohave's product[22:26] The pros & cons of the liquid desiccants debate[25:37] Mohave's next milestone & the biggest challenges[26:41] Blind spots in addressing climate change & buildings[29:27] Today's climate innovation ecosystem & how it needs to improveResources MentionedMojave HVACConnect with Phil FareseConnect with Phil on LinkedInConnect with Jason RissmanOn LinkedInOn TwitterKeep up with Invested In ClimateSign up for our NewsletterLinkedInInstagramTwitterHave feedback or ideas for future episodes, events, or partnerships?Get in touch!

Dean continues with DIY home upgrades to enhance your AC unit, especially for those in the southern U.S. He suggests adding a UV light to keep the inside coil clean in humid climates.Next, Dean addresses duct cleaning, advising not to worry unless there's a specific cause identified by your HVAC company. He emphasizes that duct leaks are a more critical issue and recommends considering aerosealing.For older systems needing a compressor boost, Dean suggests a hard start unit, an affordable addition that helps the condenser start more efficiently.Dean wraps up the hour by summarizing his top tips from the Staying Cool weekend.
Dean kicks off the second hour by taking calls, addressing questions about register placement to improve home temperature. He tackles issues with central air systems blowing weak and warm air, suggesting it might be time to call an AC repair professional to check the condenser or outside unit.Dean explains that refrigerant should last the system's life, but pinhole leaks in the pipes can lead to a need for replacement. He also advises that AC systems function as dehumidifiers, but only when they're running.Addressing another caller's inquiry, Dean discusses whether shutting doors can help AC efficiency. He generally advises against it, as the system is designed to service the entire home.Finally, Dean recommends the Ecovent Whole Home System, which uses sensors to control vents and maintain air balance, providing an exception to the rule about not closing registers.
Dean kicks off part two of "Staying Cool" weekend, emphasizing the importance of addressing AC issues as they arise. He recaps key tips from yesterday, such as running the AC longer to reduce power spikes and improve dehumidification, which enhances evaporative cooling for the body.Diving deeper, Dean explains that AC systems are complex and depend on more than just equipment quality. He highlights that most HVAC problems are cumulative, involving factors like home insulation and window exposure. Dean reveals that 70% of homeowners are unhappy with their HVAC systems due to poor design and workmanship.Finally, Dean discusses the importance of proper duct placement and sealing, noting that register placement is crucial for effective air circulation. He advises placing supply lines on the far side of rooms, away from return air vents, for optimal cooling.
Dean provides advice to a caller dealing with a sink hole in their front yard and explains what a sink hole is and what causes it. Dean answers a caller's issue with a non-working air conditioner in their home. Dean circles back to explain what causes air conditioners and their functions and the factors on what to do before switching systems for repair. Plus,Dean talks about registered placement and if it is placed properly for the best result.

Americans' happiness is deeply tied to teamwork, a trait that has been essential in shaping the country's history. From the Atlantic to the Pacific, Americans worked together to build a nation, showcasing exceptional teamwork that drove civilization westward. Dan and Mark dive into how teamwork, growth, and transformation play pivotal roles in shaping the American spirit—and the evolving state of the nation. In This Episode: It took enormous amounts of teamwork to create the United States. Teamwork is a social construct, and it was disrupted by the pandemic. Lack of teamwork has a greater impact on anxiety in the U.S. than lack of social contact. Not only do Americans love being in teamwork, they love watching teamwork. There are three rules for staying cool and calm: everything human is made up, no one's in charge, and life's not fair. When you have teamwork, the rules are in charge. If things progress to 2030 the way they're currently trending, Democratic states are going to lose 13 electoral seats. Part of the American dream is for the next generation to do better than the last one. There's now a clear division in America between growth states and non-growth states. Where there's hatred of America, there's no growth and no teamwork. If you see a city that's been in decline for decades, it's because the only governing party for those decades was the Democratic Party.

Linen is also notable for its loose weave, which allows for better air flow that can help you stay cool.Why Linen is Great for Heat and Humidity:- Extremely breathable and lightweight- Excellent moisture-wicking capabilities- Dries quickly, preventing sweat from sticking around3. BambooWhile relatively new and not yet widely available as a clothing fabric, bamboo fabric is rapidly gaining popularity. If you find a bamboo clothing item that you like, it's worth a try for Florida's steamy summer weather. Bamboo is incredibly soft, breathable and has natural moisture-wicking and antibacterial properties, all of which combine to make bamboo fabric an ideal choice for humid conditions.Why Bamboo Fabric is Great for Heat and Humidity:- Breathable and moisture-wicking- Naturally antibacterial, reducing odor- Soft and comfortable4. RayonRayon is a semi-synthetic fabric made from natural fibers. It's known for being lightweight and breathable, which makes it a good option for hot weather. It drapes well and can be found in many summer clothing items. However, rayon is as absorbent or moisture wicking as other options on the list, so rayon clothing would be a good pick if you want to bring a dress or nice outfit for an evening dinner or event.Why Rayon is Good for Heat:- Lightweight and breathable- Soft and smooth texture- Good moisture absorption5. ChambrayChambray is often mistaken for denim, but it's much lighter and more breathable, making it a great choice for that denim look in the heat of summer. As a cotton-based fabric, chambray is perfect for summer because it combines the sturdiness of denim with the lightness of cotton, so you get the best of both worlds with comfort and style.Why Chambray is Great for Summer:- Lightweight compared to denim- Breathable and comfortable- Stylish yet practical for hot weatherFour Fabrics to Avoid Wearing to Walt Disney World in the Summer HeatIt's not just about which fabrics are the best to wear in a hot and steamy Florida summer, it also helps to know which clothing fabrics you should avoid packing for your Disney vacation. During the fall, winter and early spring, these four fabrics will do just fine. But in the sweatiest stickiest heat of a Florida summer, you may want to leave these items at home (unless you plan to wear them indoors in the air conditioning).1. PolyesterPolyester has a well-earned notorious reputation for being non-breathable. Polyester clothing traps heat and moisture, making it a bad choice for hot, humid weather. It is durable fabric that's often used in activewear, but don't let that fool you. Polyester is one clothing fabric that is best avoided during steamy Florida summers. Pay special attention to this with your kids' clothes as well.Why to Avoid Wearing Polyester in the Florida Summer:- Non-breathable, traps heat- Can cause excessive sweating- Can get very uncomfortable in humid conditions2. NylonSimilar to polyester, nylon is not a very breathable fabric. Nylon clothing can trap moisture and heat against your skin, leading to discomfort and even the potential for skin irritation and rashes (which you definitely want to avoid at Disney World). While nylon is often used in activewear, it is not suited to humid climates—unless it is blended with breathable fabrics. Even then, if you see nylon on the label, we recommend avoiding this for a summer vacation in Orlando.Why to Avoid Nylon Clothing in Humid Weather:- Traps heat and moisture- Not breathable- Can cause discomfort and irritation3. AcrylicAcrylic is another synthetic fabric that is typically used in cooler weather due to its insulating properties. Wearing acrylic in hot, humid weather can lead to overheating, excessive sweating and even making you a little more odorous along the way. So skip acrylic clothing when packing for a Disney summer vacation.Why to Avoid Acrylic Clothing in an Orlando Summer:- Insulates heat, not breathable- Can cause excessive sweating- Uncomfortable in hot conditions4. SilkSilk is a tricky one that some people believe is good for hot humid weather. It's not. While silk is lightweight and does feel luxuriously light, once the humidity kicks in, it's not going to be a pleasant fabric to wear. Yes, silk can absorb moisture, but it doesn't dry quickly. This means you'll be left feeling sticky, uncomfortable and generally irritated in the high heat and humidity of summer at Walt Disney World.Why to Avoid Wearing Silk in Heat and Humidity:- Absorbs moisture but dries slowly- Can feel sticky and uncomfortable- Delicate and requires special care General Clothing Tips for Staying Cool at Walt Disney WorldIn addition to choosing the best clothing fabrics for hot, humid Florida weather, be sure to remember these general clothing tips for staying cool during a Disney World summer vacation.Choose Light Colors: Dark colors attract and absorb more heat from the sun, while light colors reflect it. So skip the black and navy blue tops and go with whites, yellows or similar.Wear Loose-fitting Clothes:Tight clothes tend to trap heat and restrict airflow. That's not what you want on a hot, humid sticky day. Go for looser fitting shirts to promote better air circulation.Layer wisely: Whether to layer at all is the first ...

Have you ever thought about mastering the art of bad news? One of the most challenging situations you can face as a leader is hearing and delivering bad news. Whether it's financial losses, project setbacks, or organizational changes that might not be well received, handling these moments can significantly impact your effectiveness and the trust you engender in your team. During this week's episode of Reflect Forward, I discuss how you can manage your reactions and confidently guide your team during difficult times. Handling Yourself with Poise The first step in dealing with bad news is managing your own emotional response. It's natural to feel stressed, disappointed, or even angry, but your reactions are closely observed as a leader and can set the tone for the entire team. During the episode, I discuss the importance of pausing before reacting, assessing the situation objectively, and seeking counsel. The Importance of Staying Cool, Calm, and Collected The demeanor you exhibit in times of crisis is a direct reflection of your leadership. Staying calm helps you think more clearly and reassures your team that challenges are manageable. Why does a composed attitude matter? It [promotes rational thinking, helps you stay calm and reduces anxiety among team members, leading to a more constructive approach to solving problems. Responding in a Way That Builds Trust and Respect How you communicate bad news can significantly affect how your team perceives the situation and your leadership. Here's how to approach it: Be Transparent: Share what you know and admit what you don't. Honesty fosters trust and invites the team to be part of the solution, which can lead to innovative approaches to challenges. Show Empathy: Acknowledge the impact of the bad news on your team. Expressing empathy can alleviate fears and foster a supportive culture. Empower Your Team: Involve your team in crafting solutions. Asking your team what they think not only enhances their commitment to the organizational goals but also boosts morale. Follow Through with Action: After discussing the bad news and potential solutions, outline clear steps forward and follow through. Accountability shows that you are proactive and dedicated to overcoming obstacles. Creating Psychological Safety and Earning Respect Responding effectively to bad news involves creating an environment where team members feel safe to express concerns and propose solutions without fear of negative repercussions. I recommend encouraging open communication, leading by example, and acknowledging your team's effort. Doing these things will boost morale and strengthen loyalty. Handling bad news well not only helps in managing the immediate challenges but also strengthens your reputation as a capable leader. By staying composed, being transparent, and creating an inclusive environment, you can guide your team through adversity and emerge stronger on the other side.

The Intuitive Customer - Improve Your Customer Experience To Gain Growth
You will have a customer crisis. We apologize for being so direct, but the fact is customer crises are inevitable. When it does happen, will you be able to navigate it to an acceptable outcome? Do you have a comprehensive approach? We doubt it. Few organizations do. Most think a customer crisis isn't going to happen to them or that they will be able to manage it when it does with their business-as-usual approach. They are wrong. It will, and they won't. Others think they do have a plan, even if they came up with it when the main method of communication with customers was some form of physical correspondence. They have it in a binder on a shelf back by the disconnected fax machine, just above paper files and right next to their Blackberry charger. To be fair, they do have a plan, technically, but it lacks relevancy and will probably result in winging it at the moment of crisis. When it comes to customer experience, even the best-managed companies encounter challenges. The inevitability of a customer crisis necessitates a proactive approach, emphasizing the art of staying composed in the face of adversity. In this pursuit, five fundamental rules emerge to guide organizations through the intricate landscape of customer crises. We share these rules and why they will help in this episode. The journey through customer crises demands a holistic and proactive approach. By embracing these rules, organizations can navigate the complexities of customer crises with composure, transparency, and a commitment to continuous improvement. Here are some of the things you will learn: Starting with the obvious, we make the case that a well-thought-out plan is essential in managing customer crises effectively and that you likely have the foundations of one built already in your present customer service scheme. We share how reminding cruise passengers a watery death on the journey is a possibility by having an evacuation drill upon leaving port is a great way to start the cruise experience—and a relationship built on trust. We explain how actively listening to customers and showing empathy is critical to maintaining composure during a crisis, especially for frontline employees, who face the barrage of raw, disappointed customer emotions first. Why news should always be shared, good or bad, and that transparency and honesty take precedence over withholding information during a crisis. The essential nature of reviewing the whole problem, what you learned, and how you plan to avoid it happening again in the future will move your customer relationships forward in a positive way once the negative incident is behind you.
