The Learning Leader Show with Ryan Hawk Go to www.LearningLeader.com for full show notes This is brought to you by Insight Global. If you need to hire 1 person, hire a team of people, or transform your business through Talent or Technical Services, Insight Global's team of 30,000 people around the world have the hustle and grit to deliver. www.InsightGlobal.com/LearningLeader Bert Bean is the CEO of Insight Global. Insight Global is a 4.3-billion-dollar, industry-leading talent and technical services firm based in Atlanta, GA. Bert started with Insight Global in 2005 as a Recruiter and has since worked his way up within the company, exemplifying Insight Global's “promote from within” culture. Sam Kaufman is the Chief Revenue Officer of Insight Global. Sam began his career as an entry-level recruiter in 2004, and he has earned many promotions throughout his career. I initially started working with Sam as his executive coach in March 2020, and then mid-2021, we formalized a bigger partnership with Insight Global, becoming the presenting sponsor of The Learning Leader Show, and we broadened my role working with leaders throughout the company. It's been so much fun. Notes Insight Global is a $4.3B business. Insight Global grew 9.2% last year, while the industry declined 9%. How is Insight Global winning while all other staffing firms are losing? A lot of companies will succumb to the idea that it's just gonna be a bad year, but our people are like, no, we'll just figure it out. We'll pivot. We'll move industries. We'll change accounts, we'll change our focus. We'll sell different services. And that's really what we've done. “Many in our industry are losing hope. That's not us. This is where we thrive.” "Our people's ability to show up, keep going, um, do new things, evolve, is really, I think it's second to none. And that's been a huge part of our story." The whole world is soft. We love leaders like Laura Downey. She's so driven, so hardcore. A beast. She's in Canada. She just reaches right out to me like we're old friends. If I could get a bunch of Laura Downey's, it's game over. Obsession: A through-point for the entire conversation was obsession. Being obsessed with caring for people. Being obsessed with doing hard things like running 20 miles to work. Being obsessed with how prepared you are for a big meeting. Being obsessed with your standards. Holding yourself accountable to them and others. The leaders who sustain excellence over time are obsessed with their craft. Potential over experience - “If you want to build a culture of commitment and care, you have to choose potential over experience.” Things to look for when promoting a leader: Hard decision making Strategic bets Simplifying complex problems  “The most important skill as a CEO is getting to the truth. It's really hard because it's really scary. Normal humans find every excuse not to deal with harsh truths.” ­-- Ben Horowitz The baseball on Bert's desk from the Atlanta Braves is an example of what not to do. The overall brand of Sam Kaufman = CARE Hiring in India - One of our folks that's doing the interviews asks this individual if, if they want a bottle of water, gives 'em a bottle of water, and this person says, wow, of all the places I've been to interview, nobody's offered me a single drink of water or treated me like a human being. Bert:  I grew up in a small town in Alabama and was a very average kind of kid. But my mom was always like, you can do anything you want. Don't ever let somebody tell you you can't. You can be you, you can be the fastest runner in the world if you want. Sam: I get in here at 5:30 every day because I have a couple thousand people that started where I started, and I am obsessed with the idea that they should have the best career ever. Bert: I think a lot of people don't ever get a chance to suffer on their own terms. Yeah. You know, like to, to enter the pain cave on their own terms. And that's a really cool thing to, to step into that and to figure out, all right, do you have the stuff or do you not? You know? And I think all of us deep down are afraid to answer that question. I just gotta know if I can do it. I have to know that. I like that challenge. I put in the work, I put in the training. And then when you do it, you're like, I knew I had that in me, and it just is so reassuring to me. Bert: I love a sense of accomplishment. I love a sense of accomplishment. Uh, I love that I can do something hard. I've always, you know, I lived in Yellowstone National Park for a summer in college, so I fell in love with the American West and I loved seeing mountains and being like, why can't I just stand on that? Sam: The last couple years, I've spent a few hours kind of every morning working what I need to be talking about and what does my voice sound like? And through the course of a couple years of working on it now, I gotta run a call with a couple thousand people this afternoon, and it's like, oh, I'll just go do that next because I'm, I'm ready for that. Sam: I'm a person they can count on when they need them. And that's what sales really is. And that's what sales will teach you. And so for, you know, for my organization, if I want my people to see that, I want them to learn that. Bert's Tattoo – Be The Light

In this episode, Kvaal joins our host Donna Schiele to discuss finding purpose in higher education leadership, the power of mentorship in career development, and innovative approaches to financial sustainability in modern universities.   "I think now more than ever for the CBO, it is important to be able to tell the story about why the business model doesn't work and attract supporters for the necessary steps that we need to take to sustain our institutions," Kvaal says. This perspective comes from nearly three decades of experience in higher education finance. "It's that ability to be able to communicate technical information, complicated information clearly to be open to providing feedback and building relationships because so much of the work that we do is through building support across campus." She emphasizes the importance of maintaining strong relationships while navigating difficult financial decisions.   Join us for a conversation with Kvaal as she shares insights about managing a $110 million operating budget, creating strategic partnerships for revenue generation, and balancing institutional mission with financial strategy.   Links Check out NACUBO's other podcasts!

Continuing the riveting conversation on "Impact Theory," Tom Bilyeu and Douglas Murray dive deeper into the current geopolitical landscape, examining the pervasive ideology of death cults and how it challenges democratic values. Drawing from Douglas's compelling narrative on democracies and death cults, they meticulously scrutinize the rise of radical ideologies in the backdrop of global conflicts, with a particular focus on the recent events involving Israel and Hamas. They dissect the existential threats posed by death cults to all democratic societies, unraveling the intricacies of revolutionary mindsets and the failure of systems that succumb to self-loathing rather than self-critique. Douglas passionately argues for victory over totalitarian ideologies not just on the battlefield but in the realm of ideas.

Active Mixing - From Boring to Baller Episode Overview In this episode, Michael Curtis shares practical strategies for creating more engaging, dynamic worship mixes. Drawing from his background as a professional bass player and mixer, he explores how intentionality and specificity can transform "boring" mixes into creative, engaging experiences that better serve worship environments. Time Stamps & Key Points Introduction [00:48] Michael introduces the concept of "active mixing" versus boring mixing The challenge: Moving beyond "it sounds fine" to creating engaging, dynamic mixes Creativity as the antidote to boring mixing Creativity Through Structure [01:41] Biblical concept of creation: bringing order from formlessness The playground analogy: Children with fenced playgrounds use 90% of the space vs. 30% without fences "Sometimes what feels like a straight jacket is actually a Narnia closet" Leadership through specificity and making finer distinctions Strategies for Worship Pastors [05:52] Prescriptive leadership can be valuable when appropriate The progression from 10 Commandments (prescriptive) to Sermon on the Mount (descriptive) Matching leadership style to team maturity level Create "sit-down chords" - signals that create clear expectations Setting up rhythms and cues that guide the worship team Organize tracks by function, not just instrument: Percussion: Rhythm-driving elements Foundation: Bass and low-end elements Filler: Pads and ambient elements Leads: Melodic elements that guide congregation Gamify growth paths for volunteers Create progressive learning steps (like unlocking levels in a game) Apply "arbitrary limits" that help beginners master fundamentals before moving on Name and assign musical ownership Clarify who owns each musical element at any given time Consider adding a dedicated "music producer" position Strategies for Musicians [12:36] "Rhythm Randy needs a retirement party" Moving beyond mindlessly strumming the chord chart Playing a part rather than just playing the chart Use the whole playground within boundaries Finding creative ways to express within structure Create "alley-oop" moments Intentional handoffs between instruments Setting up moments for other musicians to shine Beware of "bedroom vacuums" Sounds created in isolation often take up too much sonic space Smaller sonic footprint needed in larger ensembles Interesting is greater than good Focus on creating compelling sounds, not just technically correct ones Hire both "Jekyll and Hyde" Balance between foundational players and texture specialists Strategies for Front of House Engineers [18:57] Be the guide - lead with your decisions Take charge of the mix and make intentional choices Use contrast effectively Create distinction between elements (can't have "close" without "far") Highlight different instruments in different sections Anticipate "oops" moments, don't just react Push faders before transitions, not after they happen Vary verse highlights Intentionally feature different instruments in different verses Keep congregation engaged through variety Develop common tonal language The "5-1-2" system for describing frequency ranges Creating shared vocabulary for sound issues Reference the real Compare your mix to professional recordings Combat ear fatigue by checking against references Mise en place - everything in its place Strategic console layout for efficient mixing Positioning faders for easy access during active mixing Conclusion [24:25] Start with clear direction (10 Commandments approach) then move to principles (Sermon on the Mount) Have the courage to be specific with your team Embrace structure as a pathway to creativity Key Quotes "Sometimes what feels like a straight jacket is actually a Narnia closet." "Move away from playing the chart to playing the part." "It is in that company's best interest to give you a patch that sounds great out of the box, but that's taking up a lot of real estate to make it sound good on its own." "Be the guide, take charge, lead your congregation with your decisions." "There cannot be close if there's not far, there cannot be wide if there isn't narrow." "Interesting is greater than or at least equal to good." Practical Applications For Worship Pastors: Organize tracks by function rather than instrument type Create clear growth paths for volunteers Be appropriately prescriptive with newer team members For Musicians: Consider your sonic footprint within the full band context Play intentional parts, not just the chord chart Create sounds that are interesting, not just technically correct For Sound Engineers: Use your left and right hands strategically on the console Intentionally highlight different instruments in different verses Reference professional mixes to maintain perspective Connect & Continue For more insights on active mixing and creative worship production, connect with Michael Curtis and the Church Front team.

Harnessing the Power of Storytelling in Business with Dr. Danny BrassellOn this episode of The Thoughtful Entrepreneur, host Josh Elledge chats with Dr. Danny Brassell, co-founder of The WellCrafted Workshop. Together, they explore how storytelling can fuel business growth, build authentic personal brands, and drive stronger audience engagement. Dr. Brassell shares his inspiring journey through journalism, education, and professional speaking—and explains why storytelling is at the heart of every successful communication strategy. Tune in to learn his signature "Five C's" framework and how to use it to make your message memorable and impactful.Clarity and Connection: The First Steps to a Strong StoryDr. Brassell explains that every great story starts with clarity. Entrepreneurs often assume their message should appeal to everyone, but in truth, defining a specific audience and the exact problem you solve makes your message far more compelling. He also highlights the importance of connection through vulnerability. Sharing personal challenges—alongside wins—builds trust and relatability. Audiences don't want perfection; they want to feel seen and understood. Your willingness to share failures can be your most powerful storytelling tool.Delivering Content That Engages and Inspires ActionOnce clarity and connection are established, your content needs to deliver real value. Dr. Brassell encourages storytellers to go beyond information-sharing—make your content engaging and educational. Every great story should also include a strong call to action. Be specific and direct. Guide your audience toward the next step—whether that's attending a workshop, booking a call, or downloading a free resource. And don't forget the close—a compelling conclusion that evokes emotion and reinforces your key message.Coaching Communicators and Inspiring Young ReadersBeyond speaking, Dr. Brassell now coaches professionals—from engineers in Silicon Valley to top corporate teams—helping them communicate with more confidence and clarity. His mission: transform presentations into meaningful conversations. He also recently published a new book, Misfits and Crackpots, created to uplift young readers with true stories of individuals who overcame obstacles to achieve extraordinary things. The book aims to offer a counterbalance to darker narratives in youth literature—giving kids role models who inspire and stories that spark hope.About Dr. Danny BrassellA highly sought-after speaker, trainer, and coach known as “Jim Carrey with a Ph.D.,” Dr. Danny Brassell (www.DannyBrassell.com) has spoken to over 3,500 audiences worldwide. He has authored 18 books, including Leadership Begins with Motivation and Misfits and Crackpots.

Listen now on Apple, Spotify, and YouTube.Javier is a User Experience Research Director with more than 20 years of experience in the field. He is passionate about building effective research organizations that scale and deliver critical user insights that help teams develop successful products that delight users. He has a proven track record of career development and coaching.In our conversation, we discuss:* The difference between strategic and tactical insights, not methods and why that distinction matters.* How to navigate the perceived “versus” between strategic and tactical research and instead embrace a more fluid, problem-driven approach.* Ways to embed strategic insights into product planning through tools like “strategic primers.”* How to deliver value in both tactical and strategic spaces—and earn your seat at the table in high-level planning.* How researchers can broaden their method toolkit to avoid defaulting to the same approaches and unlock new kinds of insights.Some takeaways:* Strategic and tactical are outcomes, not methods. Javier emphasizes that insights, not research methods, determine whether something is strategic or tactical. Usability tests can uncover strategic direction, and field studies can surface tactical improvements. Researchers need to move away from labeling methods and focus on the value the insights provide to the business.* You can't influence strategy if you're not in the room. Delivering a compelling presentation isn't enough. To make strategic insights actionable, researchers need to be present during planning and roadmap discussions. If you're not sure when strategic planning happens, that's a red flag and an invitation to start earning your seat by solving the right problems.* “Strategic primers” help researchers shape roadmaps. One of Javier's teams developed strategic primers: succinct, insight-packed documents delivered ahead of planning cycles. These primers synthesize research and industry knowledge into clear recommendations, helping PMs and leaders use research to guide direction-setting conversations.* There's no seniority in choosing tactics over strategy. Some researchers fall into the trap of avoiding tactical work as they become more senior. But successful researchers move between both as needed, supporting teams through every phase of development. Avoiding tactical work can disconnect you from the product and from impact.* Stop chasing “strategic work, and, instead, solve the right problems. Rather than seeking out work that feels more senior or impressive, Javier encourages researchers to focus on the problems that matter most to the business. When you deliver insights that move the team forward, strategic or tactical, you build trust, influence, and long-term value.Where to find Javier:* Website* LinkedInInterested in sponsoring the podcast?Interested in sponsoring or advertising on this podcast?

For Russia's President Putin, the return of President Donald Trump to the White House ushered in a new world order. This has created new diplomatic space for Russia, as Trump's world view seems more closely aligned with Moscow's ambitions. Support for Ukraine has diminished, peace talks have been floated, and speculation has grown about a lasting ceasefire. While the relationship between Washington and Moscow appears to be warming, recent tensions show how unpredictable diplomacy between the two leaders can be.Putin's ambition for Russia as an influential superpower remains but with shifting global alliances how much potential leverage does Putin have to reshape the international order?Contributors: • Kadri Liik, Senior Policy Fellow, European Council on Foreign Relations • Maria Snegovaya, Senior Fellow, Center for Strategic and International Studies • Ivan Klyszcz, Research Fellow, International Centre for Defence and Security • Mark Galeotti, Director, Mayak Intelligence; Honorary Professor, University College LondonPresented by Victoria Uwonkunda Produced by Louise Clarke Researched by Katie Morgan Technical producer James Bradshaw Production Co-ordinator Liam Morrey Editor Tara McDermott
