Boards don't magically run themselves—and this lively discussion proves it. Strategist and facilitator Mary Kay Delvo of Inspiring Sight lays out a practical path for turning board service from a vague obligation into purposeful leadership. She starts with a truth we all feel: “If they knew better, they'd do better.” Most board members were never taught governance, so we must teach it—and then expect ownership.Mary Kay reframes board work with a memorable mantra: protect and direct. Every decision should answer, How does this protect the organization and or direct it? Pair that with her second keeper—“Noses in, fingers off”—and you've got a fast filter for staying strategic without micromanaging.Her signature Seasonal Board Cycle makes governance easy to see and easy to use:· Spring – Plant and cultivate: recruit intentionally for perspectives you truly need.· Summer – Engage effectively: spread work through committees so knowledge isn't concentrated.· Fall – Revitalize and harvest: measure real impact, not just attendance.· Winter – Recharge and look ahead: scan for change, refine strategies, and celebrate wins.On strategy, Mary Kay replaces the dusty plan with a Strategic Map—a living journey to a destination. The destination stays constant; routes change as conditions change. That's why boards must revisit the map, assess detours, and make smart adjustments with staff. After the board approves the map, staff craft an Understanding Impact Map with goals, success indicators, reviews, and board reporting—so every meeting tracks progress, learns from misses, and recommends course corrections.She also addresses the classic tension between boards setting direction and staff living the day-to-day. Her non-negotiable: senior leadership joins the board in mapping, and staff input is synthesized and heard. Otherwise there's no buy-in—and without buy-in, plans gather dust.Most of all, Mary Kay gives boards permission to be human. Seasons change. Routes shift. Progress accelerates when everyone knows the role they play and the questions they must ask. Or in her words: “Boards need to be responsible for their own succession, evaluation, and foresight.” When that happens, governance becomes energizing—and impact becomes visible.Find us Live daily on YouTube!Find us Live daily on LinkedIn!Find us Live daily on X: @Nonprofit_ShowOur national co-hosts and amazing guests discuss management, money and missions of nonprofits! 12:30pm ET 11:30am CT 10:30am MT 9:30am PTSend us your ideas for Show Guests or Topics: HelpDesk@AmericanNonprofitAcademy.comVisit us on the web:The Nonprofit Show
Can you be friends with someone who doesn’t know you exist? It’s a legitimate question for members of fandoms – groups of people brought together by a shared passion for an artist, sports team, celebrity or piece of media. At the centre of these groups is a parasocial relationship: a one-sided connection with a public figure. If you’ve heard the term before, it probably hasn’t been in a positive light... Dr Georgia Carroll, an expert on fan culture and Australia’s go-to scholar on Taylor Swift, says the way we understand parasocial relationships is a bit lop-sided. “Parasocial relationships are just one part of our social worlds, and they can be a really healthy, identity-building piece of the pie.” But that’s not to say they can’t go wrong. Georgia explains what happens at the extreme ends of the parasocial spectrum, and outlines how social media and artificial intelligence are rapidly changing the nature of these relationships. She also unpacks Taylor Swift’s highly lucrative marketing strategy and how it purposely leans into parasocial connections with fans. +++ The Solutionists is podcast from the University of Sydney, produced by Deadset Studios.

This month, we hear from career changer Joe Mercy-Marshall. Joe was an aspiring professional musician, who worked all manner of jobs, including hospitality, banking, care work, clinical research, and university lecturing, before finally finding his vocation as an Advertising Strategist.Joe discusses how hard it can be to let go of a career you've spent many years working towards. He tried several jobs before figuring out what he wanted to do. Even then, it took an Advertising insider (now his wife!) to inform him that the skillset he loved so much was known as 'strategy' within the industry. Joe highlights how beneficial making connections and applying to companies speculatively can be in getting that first role in a new field. Undeterred by a recent redundancy, Joe shares his passion for the Advertising process, and where he sees his career going next.
Recruiter, podcaster, and process evangelist Darren Saul returns to More Than a Few Words to unpack a painfully relatable story: the one that got away. After weeks of work, multiple interviews, and a seemingly perfect match, Darren's top candidate vanished right after receiving the offer—without so much as a “thanks, but no thanks.” Ouch. But this isn't just a story about recruitment. It's a wake-up call for marketers, sales pros, and anyone who works with humans (aka all of us). Because whether you're filling a role, closing a deal, or pitching a new client, the lessons are the same: assumptions kill deals, and skipping steps in your process will always come back to haunt you. Key Points Even perfect processes can fail if you don't fully qualify the people you're dealing with. Ghosting isn't just rude—it's bad business. Burning bridges happens silently and swiftly. Recruitment and sales are two sides of the same coin: both require curiosity, follow-through, and respect. Process isn't optional. Skipping steps may feel faster, but it will cost you in the long run. Actionable Takeaways Qualify early and thoroughly. Ask the hard questions up front: Are they really ready to make a move? Who else is involved in the decision? Treat recruitment like sales. Whether it's a client, candidate, or customer—if you're not uncovering hidden decision-makers or motivations, you're setting yourself up for a surprise. Build a repeatable process. Ad hoc might get you a few wins, but systems scale success. Stay professional—even when others don't. When someone disappears, take the high road. It pays off in long-term reputation. Track the quiet ones. That candidate who ghosted? He's still in the same job. You dodged a bullet. My guest Darren Saul Darren is a Serial Podcaster, Strategist, Trainer, Coach, Keynote Speaker and Student of Human Attention. He started using the Power of Podcasting to build his photography business and was so amazed with the results he never looked back! He is now a Podcast Junkie who consults with organizations to help them get serious business results integrating Podcasting into their marketing strategy.

In this episode, D and I wrap our stance series by exploring Types 4, 5, and 9, the so-called “withdrawn” types. We unpack what “withdrawing” actually looks like at work (hint: it can be deep engagement happening on the inside), how each type's strengths show up on teams, and where friction tends to arise under pressure. We also share quick, practical “stretch” moves for each type and reframes that managers can use to turn perceived quiet into powerful contribution. What You'll LearnWhat “withdrawn” actually means: the difference between internal engagement and disconnection, and how to tell which one you're seeing.Type 4 (The Visionary): depth, authenticity, and storytelling superpowers, plus the pull toward what's missing and how to re-ground in action.Type 5 (The Strategist): the “quiet genius” who protects limited energy, leads with data, and benefits from defining “enough information.”Type 9 (The Consensus-Builder): the calm bridge-builder who sees every side, along with the risk of fading out or numbing when things get intense.Adaptive vs. maladaptive (via Awareness to Action)Pairings & chemistryQuick Stretch Practices (Try These This Week)For 4s: Notice when emotion is pulling you inward; name one next action to move your insight forward.For 5s: Decide “what's enough” before you research; share work-in-progress to invite collaboration (even if it's not perfect).For 9s: Speak before consensus—offer your “current take” and say you're open to revising it.Reflection PromptsWhen I'm overwhelmed, do I retreat into feelings (4), thoughts (5), or comfort/peace (9)?Where's the line, for me or my teammate, between internal engagement and disconnection?What's our re-entry plan after someone steps back to process (time box, next touchpoint, decision deadline)?Resources & Next StepsBring this to your team: We're already booking year-end closers and 2026 kickoffs.

Have you ever struggled to explain what you do, or find it hard to cut through? And no, it's not about refining your elevator pitch or polishing your LinkedIn bio. It's about making one crucial decision: what are you not?Because in a noisy world, people don't remember nuance. They remember contrast.Global brand and positioning strategist Laura Ries argues that the clearest way to stand out as a leader or a company is to pick the right fight. Not out of anger. Out of clarity.She's spent decades advising global brands. In her new book Pick the Right Fight, she shows why finding your strategic enemy might be the smartest move you ever make.She breaks it down:-Why people don't buy “better” – they buy “different”-How to become instantly memorable by positioning against something-Why trying to “stay open” often keeps you invisible- And how even something as small as a color, a word, or a tagline can anchor your entire presence.This isn't theory. It's about being findable in a world that forgets you in seconds.You'll leave this episode asking a powerful question:What am I not – and what fight am I really here for?Timestamps00:18 The Power of Strategic Enemies02:12 Visual Branding & Positioning08:53 Brand Focus & Differentiation (Subaru, Tesla, Liquid Death)14:44 Personal Branding & Authenticity24:44 Reflecting on a Legacy25:16 The Evolution of Advertising and Positioning28:45 Modern Branding Challenges and Strategies48:13 Brand Extensions, Pivots & Case Studies

. PREVIEW. AUTHORS: Sean Kingsley and Rex Cowan TITLE: The Pirate King: Lost Treasure, Piracy in the Indian Ocean, Spying, Spycraft for the King, Scottish Independence SUMMARY: Henry Avery, surviving pirate and strategist, was sent as Daniel Defoe's enforcer/wingman to manipulate opinion in Scotland (1706), fighting Jacobites threatening Scottish independence. Details: Henry Avery was one of the few pirates who survived to enjoy their ill-gotten gains, unlike Blackbeard, Stede Bonnet, and Calico Jack Rackham, who were hanged or died Avery was sent with master spy Daniel Defoe to Scotland in early 18th century to undermine the Scottish independence movement They traveled to Scotland in September 1706 Edinburgh was a hotbed of Catholics, known locally as Jacobites These Jacobites threatened to break away from the English Crown Daniel Defoe was sent by London to manipulate public opinion by controlling key figures (church leaders, lawyers, merchants) and the presses They established control within two months Henry Avery served as Defoe's wingman and enforcer Avery is characterized as an incredible strategist, very smart, ex-Royal Navy salt, "the thinking man's muscle"
Edward Yardeni, president and chief investment strategist at Yardeni Research, says "there's a lot of funky stuff going on in the labor market," and that reduced interest rates may not change conditions but could instead impact the market and contribute to a melt-up that helps the bull market roll on. While melt-ups do tend to be followed by a regression, Yardeni does not see the market reversing too sharply; he's not currently worried about a recession and instead says the current decade is a new Roaring '20s, though he notes that this go-round is unlikely to end in another Great Depression, and instead thinks that current conditions can also turn the next decade into the "Rolling '30s." Jason Brown of The Brown Report — the host of the "Five-Year Millionaire"podcast — says that the technicals are giving him "a lot of reasons to be bullish" without "much to slow it down" on the horizon. That should have investors digging deep on A.I. stocks, especially on any pullbacks or declines, where he says the long-term potential of the new technologies will reward investors who are able to remain patient through volatility. Axel Merk, the head of Merk Investments and the Merk Funds, but also chief investment officer of the ASA Gold and Precious Metals Fund, says there is no real end in sight for the current gold rally, due to the start of rate cuts, a weakening dollar and persistent geopolitical risks, including tariffs. ASA Gold, which invests largely in junior mining companies, is up more than 100 percent year-to-date — compared to roughly 40 percent gains for physical gold ETFs — but still carries a double-digit discount; Merk explains in "The NAVigator" why that unusual situation is logical given current market conditions.

Utilities are known for spending, but not always where it counts. In fact, hyperscalers in Big Tech outspend utilities by 10x when it comes to critical R&D. So as we move into the data center-dominated future, how will utilities learn to spend on innovation and navigate challenges from scope to timeline to transparency? Our mission on today's episode is to figure that out. We're bringing in three venerated experts from across the industry: Erik Helland, Commissioner at the Iowa Utility Commission; Jason Wild, CEO of Wild Innovation & Strategy Excellence; and Mike Smith, Principal, KLN Group. Together, these three paint an optimistic (and realistic) picture of where utilities can bend to avoid breaking as the battle for ownership of this AI-driven future heats up. A handful of key ideas from this conversation loaded with real-world utility examples? “If you're not failing, you're not trying hard enough,” Erik says. Jason explains the role of human behavior in tech adaptation. Mike walks through the juxtaposition of utilities' intense focus on operational excellence and their need to innovate—which can sometimes get messy. By the end of this episode, you'll walk away with a deeper understanding of the utility innovation bias, plus key learnings about the roles all of us can play, from regulators to utility leaders to ratepayers. Innovation doesn't have to be a scary word. We're giving it a new definition today on Piloting the Future.

The Love, Happiness and Success Podcast With Dr. Lisa Marie Bobby
Have you ever had a boss who left you walking on eggshells, never sure what mood they'd bring into the office? Maybe they humiliated people in meetings, lashed out without warning, or drained you so much that you came home with nothing left for yourself. A bully boss can affect far more than your workday. In this episode, I'm talking with Mita Mallick, speaker, workplace strategist, coach, and bestselling author. She's sharing stories from her own career and what she's learned about surviving toxic leaders - from executives who throw shoes to managers who use “toxic positivity” as a weapon. Mita also offers strategies for spotting warning signs in an interview, building an exit plan that protects your career, and regaining your confidence once you've left. We also explore the patterns that keep people stuck in unhealthy workplaces: how old experiences can shape what we tolerate, why many of us think we can “outwork” a bad boss, and what it really takes to reclaim your well-being.

More importantly, Neil explains the WHY? behind you not being where you want to be, and offers a roadmap on how to get there. Sit back and give this episode a listen and come way a better version of you for doing so.Neil Schoepp spent 24 years in the firehouse and on the streets of NYC, where hesitation got people killed. Now he helps men kill hesitation before it kills their momentum. He turns over thinkers into Freedom Thinkers—men who execute, lead, and refuse to live life on autopilot. His FIREGROUND FRAMEWORK is forged from real chaos, and his 112M Freedom Thinkers mission is built to wake men up, get them moving, and put them back in command of their future.www.neilschoepp.com@Neil Schoeppinfo@neilschoepp.comThank you for taking the time to give this podcast a listen.

Carol KabaaleMeta Certified Ads Strategist & Consultant Helping Online Coaches Scale Through Purpose-Driven Ad CampaignsI was following the traditional path: school, university, and a steady job in hospitality. But as the years passed, I missed important family moments and constantly felt like just another number in a corporate machine. Then, everything changed when my high school sweetheart, Joel, proposed. I realized that I wanted more than just weekends off; I wanted the freedom to build a life where I could savour every moment, from family dinners to watching our future kids grow up.That's when I decided to start my own business. It wasn't easy. There were sleepless nights, tough lessons, and moments of doubt, but I kept going. Over the past decade, I've built multiple agencies, each one teaching me something invaluable. Today, I run a thriving digital agency where I help online coaches scale their businesses with Facebook ads that deliver real, measurable results.My mission is simple: to bring ease, wealth, and joy back into the lives of hardworking online coaches by automating their lead generation with ads that work. I know firsthand how challenging it can be to balance the hustle with the life you truly want.
