The Mindset Debrief: Improving emotional control, clarity, and leadership effectiveness in high-pressure situations.There's a split second before things go sideways. A message lands wrong, a meeting gets tense, a plan starts slipping, and you feel that pull to fix it now. To respond fast, clarify, correct, defend, or prove you're in control. But speed isn't the same thing as skill, and under stress, it's easy to treat the first thought as the best thought. That's where this episode lives: in the moment before the consequences show up.The concept of the discipline of stepping back, not as avoidance, silence, or “letting it go,” but as a deliberate pause is addressed, which creates space for clarity. Why so many capable people don't struggle with effort, they struggle with restraint, and how “control” quietly gets mistaken for “fast.” When emotions rise, your nervous system gets loud, assumptions start feeling like facts, and conversations turn into contests. Stepping back interrupts that chain before it turns a manageable problem into collateral damage.This episode reframes composure as something you build, not something you're born with. It's a skill that shows up through repetition: taking the breath on purpose, delaying the conversation you can't handle cleanly, and choosing timing that protects your judgment. You'll also learn why this matters beyond you. Stepping back changes how safe you are to be around when tension hits. It changes whether your presence steadies a room or heats it up. That's leadership, even without a title.This episode presents practices you can use at work, at home, and in any relationship where tone and timing matter. Write the draft without sending it. Put the message in your notes and let it sit. Delay decisions when you're emotionally compromised, not forever, just long enough to regain judgment. Use stepping back as a verification tool, so you don't assign meaning while you're charged up. And when you're about to speak or act, run one simple check: is this about helping the situation, or helping your feelings? Stepping back won't make you passive. It'll make you accurate, safer, and more effective.Share this episode with someone who could benefit from the information.CONNECT WITH THE PODCAST:IG: https://www.instagram.com/paulpantani/WEBSITE: https://www.transitiondrillpodcast.comLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/paulpantani/SIGN-UP FOR THE NEWSLETTER:https://transitiondrillpodcast.com/home#aboutQUESTIONS OR COMMENTS:paul@transitiondrillpodcast.comSPONSORS:Frontline Optics Get 10% off your purchase Link: https://frontlineoptics.com Promocode: Transition10
In this season-ending conversation of Johnny g & Friends, the question that we asked during every interview – How do you work on the business instead of in the business? – becomes the connective tissue for a powerful wrap-up of tire industry greatness. What emerges across these voices is a shared truth no matter the strategy or leadership style. The fact is, growth only happens when owners trust their people, step back with intention and learn to see their companies from above the daily grind.Some of this season's guests described the shift as a gradual climb – learning to listen differently, picking up ideas from peers, or letting experiences outside the tire industry reshape how they think. Others talked about moments that forced perspective, like stepping away for school, putting new decision-makers in charge, or creating “stress tests” where the team must run without the owner's voice for two straight weeks. The results were consistent: teams rise, leaders evolve, and businesses take on a new trajectory.For many, working on the business meant sharpening systems or simply walking into the store with the eyes of a customer. For others, it meant delegation, intentional learning, or acknowledging that leadership requires a different energy than turning wrenches or writing service orders.Taken together, these conversations reveal something bigger than process or policy. They show what greatness looks like in real shops, run by real families, in a real industry – owners who are present, invested and humble enough to grow by working on the business instead of in the business.

The Transformer architecture (which powers ChatGPT and nearly all modern AI) might be trapping the industry in a localized rut, preventing us from finding true intelligent reasoning, according to the person who co-invented it. Llion Jones and Luke Darlow, key figures at the research lab Sakana AI, join the show to make this provocative argument, and also introduce new research which might lead the way forwards.**SPONSOR MESSAGES START**—Build your ideas with AI Studio from Google - http://ai.studio/build—Tufa AI Labs is hiring ML Research Engineers https://tufalabs.ai/ —cyber•Fund https://cyber.fund/?utm_source=mlst is a founder-led investment firm accelerating the cybernetic economyHiring a SF VC Principal: https://talent.cyber.fund/companies/cyber-fund-2/jobs/57674170-ai-investment-principal#content?utm_source=mlstSubmit investment deck: https://cyber.fund/contact?utm_source=mlst—**END**The "Spiral" Problem – Llion uses a striking visual analogy to explain what current AI is missing. If you ask a standard neural network to understand a spiral shape, it solves it by drawing tiny straight lines that just happen to look like a spiral. It "fakes" the shape without understanding the concept of spiraling. Introducing the Continuous Thought Machine (CTM) Luke Darlow deep dives into their solution: a biology-inspired model that fundamentally changes how AI processes information.The Maze Analogy: Luke explains that standard AI tries to solve a maze by staring at the whole image and guessing the entire path instantly. Their new machine "walks" through the maze step-by-step.Thinking Time: This allows the AI to "ponder." If a problem is hard, the model can naturally spend more time thinking about it before answering, effectively allowing it to correct its own mistakes and backtrack—something current Language Models struggle to do genuinely.https://sakana.ai/https://x.com/YesThisIsLionhttps://x.com/LearningLukeDTRANSCRIPT:https://app.rescript.info/public/share/crjzQ-Jo2FQsJc97xsBdfzfOIeMONpg0TFBuCgV2Fu8TOC:00:00:00 - Stepping Back from Transformers00:00:43 - Introduction to Continuous Thought Machines (CTM)00:01:09 - The Changing Atmosphere of AI Research00:04:13 - Sakana's Philosophy: Research Freedom00:07:45 - The Local Minimum of Large Language Models00:18:30 - Representation Problems: The Spiral Example00:29:12 - Technical Deep Dive: CTM Architecture00:36:00 - Adaptive Computation & Maze Solving00:47:15 - Model Calibration & Uncertainty01:00:43 - Sudoku Bench: Measuring True ReasoningREFS:Why Greatness Cannot be planned [Kenneth Stanley]https://www.amazon.co.uk/Why-Greatness-Cannot-Planned-Objective/dp/3319155237https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lhYGXYeMq_E The Hardware Lottery [Sara Hooker]https://arxiv.org/abs/2009.06489https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sQFxbQ7ade0 Continuous Thought Machines [Luke Darlow et al / Sakana]https://arxiv.org/abs/2505.05522https://sakana.ai/ctm/ LSTM: The Comeback Story?

Jeannette explores the concept of the "CEO reset" and its importance for business leaders seeking sustainable growth, and addresses the common feeling of being stuck in a relentless cycle of work without progress emphasising that stepping back can often be the fastest way to move forward You'll hear why: Stepping back as a leader can create the necessary space for clarity, innovation, and strategic decision-making, ultimately leading to faster growth. Regularly scheduled thinking days, retreats, or mini-sabbaticals can help leaders gain fresh perspectives and break free from daily routines that hinder creativity. Leaders should focus on delegating tasks that drain their energy, allowing them to concentrate on high-impact projects and empowering their teams to grow and develop new skills. Establishing a consistent reset practice by blocking out time in the calendar for reflection and strategy is crucial for maintaining mental and emotional clarity.

This special episode of the Rich Mind Podcast explores how our greatest pain points can become the powerful fuel for life-altering transformation. Randy is joined by a special guest, his daughter Adrienne, who shares a courageous and deeply personal story of leaving a long-term, controlling relationship that was detrimental to her mental and physical health. Adrienne walks through the process of losing her sense of self, the "straw that broke the camel's back" moment, and the immense courage it took to make the decision to leave, even without having all the answers. This conversation is an inspirational masterclass on recognizing when you're stuck, finding the strength to take the first step, and the incredible growth and happiness that waits on the other side of your biggest challenges. Key Takeaways: Your biggest pain point doesn't have to be a roadblock; it can be the catalyst you need to make a necessary change. People-pleasing and self-sacrificing can lead to losing your own identity and accepting treatment you don't deserve. The moment of decision is often sparked by a seemingly small event—"the straw that broke the camel's back." You don't need to have every step figured out to make a change. The first step is the decision itself; the "how" will reveal itself later. Having a support system is crucial, but ultimately, the courage to act must come from within yourself. Taking a "step back" (like moving back home) can be a strategic move to propel yourself two steps forward into a better future. True growth often requires you to let go of a "good" situation to make space for a "great" one. The negative weight of a bad situation is immense, and the feeling of freedom after leaving it is immeasurable. Questions Answered in This Episode: How can your biggest challenge become the fuel for your greatest growth? What are the warning signs of a controlling relationship or a situation that's draining your identity? How do you find the courage to leave a situation when you feel stuck and don't have all the answers? What does the "straw that broke the camel's back" feel like in a real-life scenario? How important is a support system when making a major life change? How do you deal with the fear and uncertainty of the future after making a brave decision? How can stepping back in life temporarily help you move forward in the long run? What does true personal growth and transformation look like after overcoming a major challenge? Key People, Concepts, & Terms: People: Randy Wilson, Adrienne Wilson. Concepts: Pain as Fuel, Growth, Courage, People-Pleasing, Self-Sacrifice, Comfort Zone, Stepping Back to Move Forward, Letting Go, Transformation.

This kills motivation, stunts growth, and burns you out. The confusion between managing and leading is costing your business productivity, retention, and results.After coaching thousands of agribusiness leaders, we've identified the exact framework that separates true leaders from overwhelmed managers. Today, you'll learn the motivation-capability matrix, the four stages of leadership development, and when to step in versus step back.WHAT HIGH-PERFORMING LEADERS DO DIFFERENTLYStop These Leadership Mistakes: ● Managing people to prevent failure instead of developing capability ● Staying stuck in babysitting and refereeing phases with capable employees● Micromanaging high-motivation, high-capability team members ● Leading when people need clear direction and structure ● Protecting yourself instead of empowering others to growStart These Leadership Behaviors: ● Use the motivation vs capability matrix to determine your approach ● Manage resources, information, and situations - not people ● Progress employees through babysitting → refereeing → coaching → partnership ● Give clear direction to high-motivation, low-capability team members ● Step into command mode during crisis situationsTIMESTAMPS: 0:00 - Welcome and Topic Introduction 0:47 - Defining Management vs Leadership 3:04 - When is the Right Time to Manage? 5:25 - The Motivation vs Capability Matrix Framework 7:00 - From Managing to Leading: The Evolution 9:16 - Managing Resources vs Managing People 10:13 - Real Story: COVID Leadership Crisis Example 12:15 - The Sailboat Storm: Command vs Autonomy 15:58 - Managing People Not to Fail (The Trap) 17:37 - What Prevents Leaders from Stepping Back 20:37 - Thriving Leader Program Advertisement 21:13 - Generational Differences in Leadership Needs 27:51 - Teaching Critical Thinking vs Following Directions 30:07 - The Electric Fence Lesson: Natural Consequences 32:35 - Redefining Failure and Building Resilience 34:12 - The Four Stages of Leadership Development 37:13 - Setting Expectations for the Leadership Journey 38:48 - Episode Wrap-up and Key TakeawaysFOR: ✓ Business owners managing multiple generations of employees ✓ Operations managers stuck micromanaging capable team members ✓ Department heads struggling with when to step in vs step back ✓ Agribusiness leaders dealing with high-turnover teams ✓ Executives wanting to develop autonomous, high-performing teamsDECISION POINT: Stop managing people and start managing the systems that develop people.This Week's Challenge: Identify one high-capability team member you're still managing and move them to the coaching phase by Friday.If you're ready to stop micromanaging and want to build a self-leading team, email mark@themomentumcompany.comto learn about the Thriving Leader Program.
Text your thoughts and questions!Do you feel like you constantly need to push forward and that non-stop work equals peak productivity? The truth is, relentless doing often leads straight to burnout, not true effectiveness. Many of us struggle to give ourselves permission to take a break, fearing it will derail our progress.In this re-released episode of the Positively LivingⓇ Podcast, I revisit the powerful, science-backed benefits of pausing. Discover how deliberately stepping away from your work can help your mind process, rejuvenate, and reset, leading to improved focus, enhanced problem-solving, higher quality output, and reduced stress.I cover the following topics:The importance of pausing to improve focus and combat decision fatigue.How stepping away from problems allows your brain to find better solutions.Why regular breaks prevent mistakes and lead to higher quality work.How pausing triggers your relaxation response, reducing chronic stress and improving decision-making.The science behind why our brains need cycles of focus and rest to avoid cognitive fatigue and boost creativity.Practical ways to incorporate pauses into your day, including timed sprints, physical movement, and mindfulness.The next time you find yourself in a whirlwind of work, remember that a pause is not a sign of weakness; it's the very thing you need to be your most productive self.Thank you for listening!

On this episode of BMU, the guys explore the interconnectionsbetween our identities within and investments in community and our relationships with our friends. In an expansion of their TEDx Conversation, “Communal Change from the Inside Out,” they identify March 2020 as an inflection point for our understanding of how to be together and be present for and with each other. The conversation emphasizes our collective need to commit to the maintenance of our intimate relationships through good practice with people we aren't close to. They also highlight the hard work of rejecting false peace and fleeting convenience in favor of lasting peace through honesty. “They Asked an A.I. Chatbot Questions. The Answers Sent Them Spiraling.” BMU TEDx from October 2024: “Communal Change from the Inside Out”
Episode 1: Why I'm Stepping Back to Focus on My HealthOriginally aired on YouTube [June 3, 2025]. Audio version includes full conversation. After 20+ years in medicine and three years into building my business, I'm stepping back from teaching to focus on my own health using the same Eastern medicine principles I teach others.I'm Dr. Barbara de la Torre - Board-Certified Family Medicine physician, Medical Acupuncturist, and Qigong Master. I help healthcare professionals, organizations, and motivated individuals bridge Eastern and Western medicine, but like many of you, I'm better at helping others than helping myself.I'm returning to daily qigong, Korean Hand Therapy, and lifestyle practices that I know work because I've used them before. I'm documenting this process not to sell you anything, but to show what it really looks like when a physician practices what she preaches.
Bernard Agrest: When Stepping Back Becomes Stepping Away—A Leadership Failure Story 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. Bernard shares a powerful story about a critical research project where his instinct to step back and empower his team ultimately led to project failure and personal burnout. When Bernard realized his team wasn't ready for the work ahead, he made the mistake of taking everything on himself rather than building proper feedback loops and ensuring true understanding. Working overtime and feeling guilty about not supporting his team properly, Bernard learned that empowerment isn't about stepping back—it's about creating space to work together. His key insight reveals that it's through doing the work that we discover what work actually needs to be done, and that having people say they "get" the plan doesn't mean they truly understand it. Self-reflection Question: How do you distinguish between genuine team empowerment and abandonment when stepping back from direct involvement in projects? [The Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast Recommends]
China has long criticised the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation, or NATO, for drawing Indo-Pacific countries—Japan, South Korea, Australia, and New Zealand—into its orbit. From Beijing's perspective, this marks a troubling effort to export Western military influence to Asia and to contain China's rise. Among Chinese observers, the prospect of Japan aligning more closely with NATO has sparked particular concern. A commentary published on Baidu Baijiahao pointed to NATO's evolution from a regional defence bloc into what is now seen as an overstretched force projecting power far beyond the North Atlantic. Japan's increasing proximity to NATO and its willingness to speak on China's internal affairs are cast as foreign interference with potentially destabilising consequences. On the Chinese microblogging site, Weibo, a post framed Japan's engagement with NATO as part of an inflated narrative of China's threat.----more----Read full article here: https://theprint.in/opinion/eye-on-china/japan-nato-not-indo-pacific-ties-china-us/2669010/
Welcome back to our special series on work and motherhood. Here's something we don't talk about enough: the vast majority of ambitious, educated women will pause or shift their careers for a season while raising children, and not because they're giving up, but because they're playing the long game. In fact, 1 in 3 women will fully pause; 1 in 2 will downshift; and 90% will eventually return to the workforce. So these old labels of working and stay at home mum just don't fit anymore. The reality is far more fluid than that. And there's a new wave of mothers who are choosing intentional pauses, not permanent exits. Today's guest is an absolute expert in this area. Neha Ruch the founder of Mother Untitled, a platform that's helping to rewrite the narrative around ambition and motherhood. In this conversation, we explore how pausing your career can actually be a power move, a time to deepen, grow, and figure out what's next for you. A time to develop new skills and become even more aligned. So if you've ever questioned your choices, your ambition, or your timeline, then this is the episode for you.

What does it really mean to stand in your power and show up as your most authentic self? Inspired by a recent convo with our producer, Liz shares her evolution from growing up in a Southern Baptist home to becoming someone who unapologetically challenges the patriarchy—just by being herself. We explore the difference between validation and self-assurance, how triggers can sneak into relationships, and the small, daily practices that help us reclaim our power. From morning mantras to social media boundaries, this episode is a reminder that you are enough—without needing permission, approval, or applause. Some key takeaways from this episode include: Power isn't given, it's claimed. Reclaiming your power starts with recognizing when and where you've given it away—and learning how to get it back. Validation is internal work. External praise can feel good, but lasting confidence comes from self-trust, intuition, and grounding practices like gratitude and meditation. Remember, authenticity is resistance. Showing up boldly and being yourself in a world that wants you smaller—especially as a woman—is one of the loudest acts of rebellion and transformation.
