By blending adventure, competition, and impactful storytelling, Gurung aims to draw global attention to the alarming speed at which Himalayan glaciers are melting.The groundbreaking project, World Vlog Challenge, features YouTube creators from around the world competing in a grueling trek to Everest Base Camp while documenting the effects of climate change on the region. The competition offers a $100,000 prize and has already premiered on Amazon Prime in the US and UK, with a global release planned for August 7.The show's purpose goes beyond entertainment. Gurung explained, “The springs, rivers, and waterfalls that feed billions of lives downstream originate here. Through this challenge, we show YouTubers—and their audiences—the source of freshwater and the critical role glaciers play in our ecosystem.”The melting of Himalayan glaciers, once a slow, natural process, has accelerated dramatically due to human influence. “Normally, it would take hundreds of years to form a meter of glacier,” he said. “Now, they're melting in just ten years. That speed is dangerous.”What sets the World Vlog Challenge apart is its focus on engaging younger generations. Recognizing that traditional scientific communication often struggles to reach this audience, Gurung chose YouTubers as his storytellers. “These creators are great storytellers and can bring the stories of the glaciers to life in a relatable, engaging way,” he said.Funding such an ambitious project posed significant challenges. After exhausting traditional investment channels, Gurung turned to regulated investment crowdfunding via WeFunder. “We're asking the community to support something that promotes Nepal, the Himalayas, and awareness about climate change,” he shared.Through determination and creativity, Gurung has created a show that is both educational and entertaining. By focusing on the human drama of the trek and the urgent message of climate change, World Vlog Challenge stands as a testament to the power of storytelling and collaboration.Those interested in supporting the project can visit the Wefunder campaign at [wefunder.com/challengerseverest] and watch the show when it becomes available globally on August 7.tl;dr:Shree Gurung's World Vlog Challenge uses reality TV to highlight climate change and melting glaciers.YouTube creators compete for $100,000 while trekking to Everest Base Camp, documenting the journey.The show blends adventure and education to engage younger audiences on critical climate issues.Shree's determination enabled him to overcome funding and production challenges for this ambitious project.The show is now on Amazon Prime, with a global release set for August 7.How to Develop Determination As a SuperpowerShree Gurung describes his superpower as determination, the ability to persevere through challenges and setbacks. In today's episode, he explained, “There were so many moments I wanted to give up, but I didn't have a choice. I knew I was doing something good for the community, and that kept me going.” Shree's determination has fueled his ability to produce a groundbreaking reality show about climate change, overcoming obstacles like lack of funding and global skepticism about a Nepal-based production.Shree shared how his determination enabled him to produce the World Vlog Challenge. Despite rejections from sponsors and studios, he single-handedly managed production, marketing, and logistics for the show. “For around 45 days, I didn't sleep properly,” he recalled. Coming from a rural Nepalese village and lacking traditional resources, Shree drew on his experiences of hardship to push forward, creating a globally recognized project that showcases both Nepal's culture and the urgency of climate change.Tips for Developing Determination:Find Your Passion: Shree emphasized that clarity of purpose drives determination. Identify what inspires you.Break Down Challenges: Focus on one step at a time, especially when the big picture feels overwhelming.Seek Community Support: Surround yourself with people who validate your mission and provide encouragement.Embrace Responsibility: Commit fully to your goals, even when quitting feels easier.By following Shree's example and advice, you can make determination a skill. With practice and effort, you could make it a superpower that enables you to do more good in the world.Remember, however, that research into success suggests that building on your own superpowers is more important than creating new ones or overcoming weaknesses.

In the last lesson, I talked about the four types of UX resources that can help you scale your influence across the organization. This time, we're going to zero in on one of the most powerful tools at your disposal: the design system.If you want to move from being an implementer to a UX leader, someone who empowers others to create better experiences, a good design system is your best ally. It makes user-centered design easier for everyone else. That, in turn, frees you up to focus on the bigger picture.Let's talk about why that matters and what makes a design system truly useful.Why Design Systems Matter (Even if You Think You've Got One)I'm not just talking about a Figma file with some buttons and colors. I mean a real design system. One that's robust, well-documented, and tightly integrated with your development process.Because, people across your organization need to visualize, prototype, and test ideas quickly. If they're constantly reinventing layouts or relying on you to build everything, you become the bottleneck. A good design system short-circuits that by giving them the building blocks to create user-friendly interfaces without needing to be UX experts.That helps in several ways:Speed: Reusable components make it faster to go from idea to mockupConsistency: Interfaces follow the same design logic, reducing confusion and frictionScalability: Teams don't need to wait on you to build every screenBuilt-in best practice: Accessibility and UI standards are baked inBut for any of that to work, you've got to go beyond just handing over a Figma file.What Makes a Design System Effective?It's easy to underestimate what goes into a good design system. But if you want others to use it correctly and confidently, it needs to tick a few critical boxes.Clear DocumentationThink brand guidelines, but for components. Your team needs to know how and when to use each item. That includes the "dos and don'ts" and examples of what not to do. Misusing components is common. Like placing white text on pale backgrounds or combining elements in awkward ways. A few screenshots can save a lot of confusion.Developer-Friendly IntegrationDesign systems shouldn't just work for designers. Developers need to be able to take what they see in Figma and translate it into code. That means making component names and logic consistent between tools. Ideally, it also includes code snippets they can copy directly.Reusable Code ComponentsIf you've got a design system in Figma but no matching code components in your front-end library, you're only halfway there. Work with engineering to make sure each design element has a reusable, implementable counterpart in code.Modular and MaintainableYour system needs to grow with your organization. Whether you're rebranding or adding new features, your design system should make updates easier, not harder. Modular components help with that and make it easier to iterate as standards evolve.Governance and Ongoing OwnershipThis isn't a "set and forget" resource. A design system needs love and maintenance. Set up lightweight processes for reviewing and updating it regularly. That might mean assigning someone ownership or scheduling a quarterly design system review.You Don't Need to Build It All at OnceA solid design system is a powerful investment. But it doesn't need to be perfect or comprehensive from day one. Start small. Pick a few high-use components like buttons, form fields, and modals, and document those well. Build from there as your needs and capacity allow.The important part is getting something usable into people's hands as early as possible.Your Action StepStart by taking inventory. What components or styles are you re-creating over and over again? Could you package those into a starter design system for others to use?Next time, we'll talk about the tools you can provide that make research, testing, and prototyping much easier for your colleagues.

Spread across the Earth's oceans, the Chinese distant-water fishing fleet is the single largest armada in human history. This three-part series is an unprecedented investigation into their secretive fishing practices. The fleet is so gargantuan that even the Chinese government can't account for all its vessels. We do know it has hauled in more than 35 billion dollars worth of catch per year and sold it across the globe — and yet, almost nothing was known about its practices. That is, until the Outlaw Ocean team started asking questions, and eventually managed to get aboard.Episode highlights:Averaging one dead body every six weeks, mostly-Chinese fishing vessels have been dropping their deceased off in Uruguay's coastal capital for years. But in 2021, an Indonesian deckhand named Daniel Aritonang arrives clinging to life. He's conscious enough to say he'd been beaten, tied up by the neck, and starved for days.We learn Daniel's story is shockingly common in the world's Chinese-run fish processing infrastructure. It's a realm where health and human safety are secondary to meeting quotas and where forced labour and human rights abuses are rampant. We learn how vulnerable people like Daniel are recruited, and how routinely they never make it home.The team is convinced that they need to speak directly to the crew on one of these vessels. They themselves are shocked when a captain agrees to let them aboard. Even more surprising, a minder briefly leaves host Ian Urbina alone with the crew and immediately some men plead to be rescued.

In this inspiring episode, Bart Berkey sits down with Gavin Mlinar, CEO of Blacklisted Consulting and author of Yes, Your Way to Success. Why Don't You? Gavin shares the remarkable story of how his upbringing, mindset, and resilience have driven him to negotiate billion-dollar contracts, become an endurance athlete, and launch his own company—all through one key trait: decisiveness. Together, they unpack what it takes to keep going when most people quit, and how to act with confidence even when conditions aren't perfect.Major Takeaways / Learnings:1. Most People Don't Ask… But Gavin Does. Gavin landed on this podcast simply by reaching out with authenticity and persistence—something most people don't do.2. Rejection is Practice. Cold-calling 100 people a day at Merrill Lynch taught Gavin to normalize “no.” He reframed rejection as part of the process, not a signal to stop.3. Decisiveness Is a Superpower. According to his book coach (also a therapist), Gavin is one of the most decisive people they've ever met—and that's what makes him different.4. Forget Perfect—Take Action. Waiting for the perfect moment or perfect plan often leads to stagnation. Gavin encourages forward momentum over perfectionism.5. Two Steps to Progress: 1) Research and validate through resources and conversations. 2) Make a decision, take action, and adjust along the way.6. Ask for Help. Often. Most people don't ask—but most people are predisposed to help when asked. Gavin encourages breaking through that hesitation.7. Effort + Attitude = Progress. Gavin teaches his kids—and lives himself—by these two values. You don't need perfection, just consistent energy and a positive mindset.Memorable Quotes:1. “Most people don't ask for help. But most people are predisposed to help when asked.” – Gavin Mlinar2. “There are very few things in life that are final. Failure is just learning in disguise.” – Gavin3. “You get to wake up early. You get to catch that flight. That shift in mindset is everything.” – Bart Berkey4. “Most people don't… say yes.” – Gavin MlinarWhy It Matters / How to Use It:Listeners will walk away with practical tools to become more decisive, more resilient, and more open to opportunities. Gavin's approach—research, then act—can be applied to anything from writing a book to launching a business, asking for a promotion, or learning how to surf. His mindset of saying "yes" before conditions are perfect is a challenge to the perfectionist in all of us and his emphasis on attitude and effort is a reminder that consistency and courage can unlock extraordinary results.Resources & Links:Gavin Mlinar on LinkedIn: Click hereYes Your Way website: www.yesyourway.comBart Berkey: MostPeopleDont.com | LinkedInFill in the Blank:Most people don't…" say yes.

Debbie Wolski explains the practicality of using pancake flipping as the visual for flipping unwanted emotions! If you wait too long to flip any pancake, it will eventually burn. Keeping in mind that every pancake has two sides, opposite sides, we can flip that negative feeling to the opposite before it burns! This should be reinforced by the adult in the child's life being a good example and flipping their negative feelings often and successfully.

On this week's Little Talks we're talkin' about Gen Z, with some insight from one of our resident Gen Z voices in the office, Claudia!Claudia tells Sam and Roop about how purpose at work matters. A paycheck is great, sure, but waking up every day to do work that actually makes an impact? That's where it's at. She reminds the gang that fulfillment can outweigh dollars—and for many members of Gen Z, that's non-negotiable.We also dive into what it means to be a “digital native” that is fast to adopt new digital tools and processes, things that don't scare Gen Z. And in a world that moves fast, that adaptability is pure gold.Of course, we couldn't skip the big one: burnout. Claudia shares her Littlefield experience has been refreshingly positive—thanks to strong boundaries, built-in flexibility, and a culture that prioritizes real-time feedback instead of waiting for once-a-year reviews. All ingredients for a happy Gen Z workforce.We also touch on communication shifts (spoiler: Gen Z isn't checking their email 24/7), challenges to outdated processes, how mentorship—not micromanagement—is what really fuels growth and more.So listen in to the voice of the next generation, and we'll catch you next time on Little Talks!– Claudia, Sam, Roop, and BrandonTell us what you think!

At the heart of its innovation is hypochlorous acid (HOCL), a powerful yet natural disinfectant that Matt Condon, Founder of Emerald Prairie, describes as “nature's disinfectant.” In today's episode, Matt shared how his company is challenging the status quo with products that are effective, safe, and eco-friendly.HOCL isn't new. In fact, it has been around since World War I when it was used to treat soldiers. “It is an incredibly powerful antibacterial disinfectant,” Matt explained. “It would be ubiquitous throughout the country and the world if not for the way the chemical industrial complex evolved.” Emerald Prairie has found a way to scale the production of HOCL, offering a solution that's “made by your body” and safe enough to spray on your hands or even in your mouth.What makes Emerald Prairie stand out isn't just HOCL's effectiveness; it's the company's commitment to transparency and environmental impact. “All of our ingredients are on every label—nothing hidden,” Matt said. He added that the products not only avoid harming the environment but actually benefit it. “The best thing that can happen to hypochlorous acid is it gets to the water system because it kills the biofilm.”Emerald Prairie's business is thriving. The company has seen a surge in subscriptions, which Matt described as resembling the “proverbial hockey stick.” This growth, he believes, reflects customer trust and satisfaction. Emerald Prairie's solutions are produced in Kansas, reflecting the company's commitment to local manufacturing.To scale its impact and reach, Emerald Prairie is raising capital via a regulated investment crowdfunding campaign on Wefunder. This approach aligns with Matt's mission to connect directly with customers and investors who share his vision.Emerald Prairie isn't just selling safe cleaning products; it's starting a movement. By replacing toxic chemicals with solutions that are safe for families and the environment, Matt and his team are proving that you don't have to compromise safety for effectiveness. This is your chance to join a revolution in home care—by supporting Emerald Prairie, you can help make the world a cleaner, safer place.tl;dr:Matt Condon explained how Emerald Prairie's products use hypochlorous acid to deliver safe, effective cleaning.The company's all-natural solutions are environmentally beneficial, improving ecosystems instead of harming them.Emerald Prairie is scaling operations with local production and growing customer subscriptions rapidly.Matt revealed his passion for building purpose-driven ventures that align with his values and mission.The company is raising funds via regulated crowdfunding, inviting supporters to invest in its growth.How to Develop Turning Passion Into Purpose As a SuperpowerMatt Condon's superpower is his ability to transform passion into purpose-driven business ventures. He explained, “I've been so fortunate in my career to go through…efforts where I wasn't really focused on the sales revenue as much as doing something…that the world needed.” This approach, he shared, reflects a belief that “capitalism is the most powerful engine of good in the world.” For Matt, success comes from aligning his passions with businesses that create meaningful impact while maintaining financial viability.Matt shared how his passion for solving real-world problems led him to create a network of clinics providing top-tier healthcare to workers like farmers, firefighters, and police officers. Drawing inspiration from his roots in a farming community, Matt realized that the quality of care available to professional athletes could and should be extended to laborers. He built clinics that offered advanced healthcare solutions, improving outcomes for countless individuals in physically demanding jobs. This venture not only succeeded financially but also changed lives, exemplifying how passion-driven businesses can create profound impact.Tips for Developing This Superpower:Identify Problems You're Passionate About Solving: Focus on challenges that resonate with your values and experiences.Take Calculated Risks: Embrace risk as part of the journey to create meaningful impact.Build Around a Mission: Ensure your business aligns with a core purpose beyond profitability.Engage Support Systems: Surround yourself with people who believe in your vision and can provide encouragement.Stay Focused Amid Noise: Cut out distractions to concentrate on what truly matters.By following Matt's example and advice, you can make turning passion into purpose a skill. With practice and effort, you could make it a superpower that enables you to do more good in the world.Remember, however, that research into success suggests that building on your own superpowers is more important than creating new ones or overcoming weaknesses. You do you!Guest ProfileMatthew (Matt) Condon (he/him):Founder, Emerald Prairie HealthAbout Emerald Prairie Health: At Emerald Prairie Health, our mission began with a discovery—not of a new chemistry, but of how to finally unlock one that scientists have trusted for over a century. Despite its unmatched safety and proven performance, this powerful solution was kept on the sidelines—overlooked or suppressed by chemical giants who saw HOCl as a threat to their legacy products. We saw something different at EPH. Using our proprietary water purification process, we developed a way to produce this chemistry in its purest, most stable, and effective form—and bring it to market at scale. Today, we're helping families protect their loved ones and lead the next generation of wellness—through cleaner, safer, and more sustainable alternatives for home and body.Website: emeraldprairiehome.comCompany Facebook Page: facebook.com/emeraldprairiehomeBiographical Information: Matthew J. Condon is a nationally recognized healthcare entrepreneur, thought leader, and advocate for transparency and innovation in the healthcare system. As the Founder and former CEO of Bardavon Health Innovations—a leading healthcare data analytics company transforming Workers' Compensation—Matt combined his deep industry insight with a passion for disrupting outdated care models. Prior to Bardavon, he founded ARC Physical Therapy+ in 2003, growing it into one of the Midwest's largest PT networks with over 100,000 annual patient visits. In June 2024, Matt stepped down as CEO of Bardavon and began his transition into founding Emerald Prairie Health, a consumer health company delivering safe, science-backed alternatives for home and body care. He was the youngest Chair in the 120+ year history of the Greater Kansas City Chamber of Commerce and has been honored as a regional Ernst & Young “Entrepreneur of the Year” finalist, named to Ingram's “40 Under 40” and “Rainmakers” lists, and featured on the Kansas City Business Journal's “Power 100” list of the region's most influential business leaders.X/Twitter Handle: @theMattCondon Linkedin: linkedin.com/in/matthew-condon-86905412Instagram Handle: @mcondon0730Support Our SponsorsOur generous sponsors make our work possible, serving impact investors, social entrepreneurs, community builders and diverse founders.

Show Notes: Lawrence Steyn moved to Los Angeles to work with Walt Disney, where he helped think through financing new theme parks and movies. After leaving Disney, he went into traditional investment banking. He also mentions that he was a character in a theme park training program, where he was a penguin in full costume. His experience in LA and his role as a character in the training program were both memorable and challenging, and being a penguin was the hardest job he had in the 30+ years since graduating.  From Investment Banking to the Tech Industry Lawrence moved to New York and worked at Goldman, including spending several years in London. He worked at Morgan Stanley and also as vice chairman at  JP Morgan. After COVID-19, he faced a midlife crisis and decided to work at an autonomous vehicle company called Pony.ai. The company was Chinese-centric and had a large nexus with China. This was around 2020/21 during a time when relations between the U.S. and China were strained. The company faced financial and geopolitical challenges from China, who wanted to assert control over its tech sector, and restrictions from the US. Lawrence talks about an event that took place in the U.S. that allowed a government body to exert their control and limit the company. However, Lawrence started lobbying for Pony's cause, visiting Capitol Hill and California representatives,  however it became clear that Pony was never going to go public as an American-centric company.  Joining a Manufacturing-centric P.E. Firm As his time at Pony was coming to an end, a private equity firm, American Industrial Partners, approached Lawrence to join them. Lawrence discusses the changing business world, government issues, and supply chain changes post-COVID. As an American manufacturing-centric private equity firm, he observes the shrinking of supply chains and the refocus on American hard enterprise, but he compares this with his experience at Pony, as a $6-7 billion company started by seven guys in a garage, compared to the cost of manufacturing enterprises. Lawrence enjoys his work and the opportunity to create billions of dollars of value through low capital and high-IQ work. Lawrence also shares his experience with venture capital tech. A Superpower and Brokering a Big Deal Lawrence believes that his superpower is listening to people's words and being thoughtful, especially when dealing with potential clients. He emphasizes being creative and challenging himself to think of unexpected twists in situations. He shares an example from his time at Morgan Stanley,  and the most successful deal of his career. He was the sole advisor to United Technologies, which was the biggest industrial deal up to that date. The unique idea was that United Technologies wanted to buy Rockwell Collins. Lawrence talks about the idea he put forward that allowed United Technologies to keep the Rockwell Collins name and maintain its rich heritage, while United Technologies owned about 60% of the company. The deal was a complex and unique one, with high effort and structuring involved.  Global Trade Wars and Tariffs The conversation revolves around the ongoing global trade wars, particularly the tariffs. Lawrence states that while the uncertainty has slowed everything down, however, the outcome has not been terrible. The market has returned to close to all-time highs. Lawrence mentions that the long-term impact of these tariffs is questionable, as the reduction in the dollar's role as a global reserve currency is problematic. He also discusses the importance of having a strong US global leadership role and the need for a good manufacturing base. He mentions that the lack of access to various materials has proven problematic, and that the US should focus on American manufacturing capabilities. However, he also mentions that American Industrial Partners have been investing in American manufacturing capabilities for decades, and their history and majority of businesses are America-centric. A Global Trade Slow Down The Trump administration's focus on tariffs has slowed down global trade, with the US and Mexico experiencing increased tensions. The US has been focusing on geopolitical issues, such as China and Mexico, but the long-term impact of these tariffs is uncertain. The US has been investing in American manufacturing capabilities for decades, and many businesses have found that having an American manufacturing base is more valuable to people around the world. The uncertainty surrounding the introduction of tariffs has led to negotiations and investment being put on hold, as the US has good manufacturing capabilities in Mexico. The short-term impacts of these tariffs have been less dramatic, and the long-term impacts are more theoretical at this point. However, the US has managed to maintain its manufacturing base and maintain its global leadership role. Barriers to Growth in Manufacturing The conversation turns to barriers to the growth of the manufacturing industry in America, including electricity, skilled labor, zoning, local supply chain, permits, and environmental reviews etc. Lawrence highlights the importance of re-electrifying America, which is a complex process that takes time and requires skilled and unskilled labor. The supply chain, as seen with Apple's desire to manufacture in the US. The biggest challenge for manufacturers is the uncertainty of tariffs and their impact on the US manufacturing industry. If there were a sustainable and constructive policy in place for decades, manufacturers would be more comfortable investing in advanced manufacturing capabilities. However, the whimsy of these policies can be problematic, as they may be reversed or ended by lawsuits, hinders planning and investment. An Effective Pro-US Manufacturing Policy A more effective pro-US manufacturing policy with bipartisan support could be beneficial. Some goals that could be valuable include bringing manufacturing back to the US for data centers, shipbuilding, and auto manufacturing. However, the broad concept of remanufacturing in the US doesn't necessarily mean achieving everything at once. A thoughtful policy with bipartisan support could be powerful, but a more consistent, specific, targeted policy with broad support could be more effective. Influential Harvard Courses and Professors Lawrence mentions a Michael Sandel's core class, Justice, that focuses on different theories of justice, which he believes are important for thinking thoughtfully about political and global events. He also enjoyed a seminar with Marjorie Garber on Shakespeare, which he took as a core class and then revisited as an alumni for a deep dive. He also mentions activities centered around the International Relations Council, Model UN, and American Industrial Partners.  Timestamps: 04:16: Experiences at Pony.ai and Autonomous Vehicles  09:36: Transition to American Industrial Partners  23:35: Challenges in American Manufacturing  37:17: Personal Reflections and Future Plans 40:58: Backgammon and Personal Interests  43:35: Harvard Memories and Influences 48:05: Connecting with the Harvard Community  Links: Website: https://americanindustrial.com/team/lawrence-steyn/ Featured Non-profit: The featured non-profit of this week's episode is Lighthouse Youth and Family Services in Cincinnati, Ohio recommended by John Unger who reports:  “Hello, class of 1992 this is your classmate, John Unger of Kirkland House in Weld North.

He was at Harvard Law School with President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama. He's the founder and managing partner of SkyBridge Capital. And he's the founder and Chairman of the SALT conference.  Leadership through service: True leadership isn't about personal glory but about making others better and helping them succeed in their roles. Derek Jeter exemplified this by never caring about personal statistics, only team success. "If you're on the team, it's not about me, right? It's about you. How am I gonna make you better? Or how am I gonna make you feel good about your role? How am I gonna get you to think that I'm here to help you?" Flexibility and decision-making under pressure: Football taught Scaramucci the importance of reading situations quickly and making audibles at the line of scrimmage - skills that translate directly to business and life leadership. "You can't just say, okay, here's the game plan, right? Because that's what Mike Tyson says, right? You have the plan until you get punched in the face, or all battle plans go by the wayside with contact with the enemy." Resilience through adversity: Getting "your ass kicked" early in life builds the resilience needed for future challenges in business and politics. Early defeats teach you how to bounce back from failure. "That's called resilience, right? You gotta get over that... That's how you gotta get your ass kicked. Here I was... and I just remember feeling so puny... So how you gotta get over that." The confidence battle starts within: The first fight in life is with yourself - believing you're good enough and worthy to compete. Henry Ford's principle applies: "If you think you can or you can't, you are right." "The first fight is with yourself. Am I good enough? Am I worthy? Can I get to the game? Can I believe in myself enough so that I'm standing next to someone else who believes in themselves that I compete?" Accountability in relationships: When Scaramucci's marriage was in crisis, taking full accountability for his mistakes rather than deflecting blame was crucial to rebuilding the relationship. "I owe my wife Deirdre, a debt of gratitude for actually really loving me because I was off the rails on a few things... she's like, Hey, I'm not having this, so if you love me, get your shit together." Life coaching vs. therapy approach: Life coaching focuses on progression and future action ("What are we doing today to be better?") rather than regression into past issues. "I feel that therapy is a regression. Life coaching is a progression... forget about the past. What the hell are you gonna do? What are we doing today to make yourself a better person?" Forgiveness as liberation: Choosing to forgive both others and yourself removes the "millstone of regret" that weighs you down and prevents forward progress. "I can take that millstone of regret and leave it behind me, take it off of my neck and leave it behind me... human frailty and not judging it is not just you judging others, but also yourself." The comfortable outsider advantage: Being comfortable with your outsider status while still being able to operate in elite circles provides authentic confidence and relatability across all social levels. "I am a comfortable outsider. I'm not an insider... but I'm comfortable with it. You know, like guys like Trump or Rudy, they're uncomfortable. Outsiders... But I'm a comfortable outsider. I don't need to do that." Intellectual curiosity + neuroplasticity: Combining genuine curiosity about others with the ability to adapt and change allows you to move successfully between different social and professional circles. "Find your superpower... I think your superpower is very similar to my superpower... intellectual curiosity. And so if you can blend intellectual curiosity with neuroplasticity, meaning you can adopt and change... then you can move in various circles." Pivot for survival: Successful businesses and careers require constant reinvention. SkyBridge's conference business and pivot to Bitcoin were survival strategies that became major successes. "We were going outta business... This was an accidental survivor strategy. This was a pivot that we were making in order to stay in business. This was not some mastermind plan."

Send us a textHere's the Time article I talk about.Join the Lighthouse Priority List here.Listen to this episode for a practical roadmap and Rx for exactly where you're at on the feelings spectrum. Staying engaged is a requirement. It's the assignment. But that doesn't mean we have to ignore our human side and power through. Au contraire, mon ami.Episode Summary:You can feel sad and angry and still be in alignment with your soul's purpose. This radical truth serves as the foundation for navigating our current reality—a pressure cooker of global challenges that astrologers have been anticipating for decades. While the powers that be count on our collective burnout and division, we have tools to resist this manipulation and reclaim our power.The journey begins with breathing. Drawing from military research on "sense-making"—the $3.85 million program exploring intuition and premonition in combat situations—we learn that regulating our nervous system creates the foundation for clear thinking and effective action. Box breathing (four counts in, hold, out, hold) serves as an accessible reset button available anytime, anywhere.From this centered state, we can better assess what we're experiencing: Are we numb and overwhelmed? Drowning in grief? Seeing red? Stuck in mental loops? Each state requires different approaches—gentle self-care for freeze responses, safe expression for anger, focused action for overthinking. The key isn't avoiding these emotions but moving through them without judgment.Remember that you're likely carrying more than your personal feelings—you're also holding energy for the collective. If you resonate with this message, you've probably signed up for a role in holding light during these times. This responsibility may feel particularly heavy for those whose comfort has historically been prioritized over others' safety.Trust that your soul chose this timeline deliberately. The synchronicities and intuitive hits you've experienced were preparation for these higher-stakes moments. There has never been a more powerful, empathetic, technologically literate, and globally connected conscious generation than ours. This is our time to step into our highest timeline and inspire others through our example.What one tangible action can you take today to declare to the universe that you're in charge of your energy? Your voice matters in this soul-level revolution that spre

Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative journalist Ian Urbina returns to “Why Should We Care About the Indo-Pacific” to preview Season 2 of his acclaimed Outlaw Ocean podcast, exposing the hidden world of human rights and environmental abuses on the high seas—from brutal labor conditions on distant-water fishing vessels to coercive processing centers in China, India, and beyond.Urbina, founder and director of the Outlaw Ocean Project, dives into the maritime underworld and examines what's changed—and what remains unchanged—since his first appearance on the pod. The conversation unfolds in two parts:1. China's Distant-Water Fleet & At-Sea Abuses- Fleet scale and state ties: China's distant-water fleet dwarfs all others, with estimates ranging from 2,700 to 17,000 vessels; Urbina's team calculated about 6,500 ships, one-third of which have direct state involvement.- Illegal fishing and geopolitical power: Chinese longliners and squid jiggers routinely engage in illegal, unreported, and unregulated (IUU) fishing—invading marine protected areas, overfishing, and crossing exclusive economic zones—thereby gaining economic advantage and shaping “facts on the water” to support territorial claims. - Life on board squid jiggers: These industrial vessels use hundreds of bright lights and metal arms to jig for squid. Crews of 30–50 often endure two- to three-year contracts at sea with no shore leave, cramped and unsanitary conditions, malnutrition, and no Wi-Fi. Laborers—initially foreign but increasingly rural Chinese—face debt bondage, violence, passport confiscation, and forced labor. 2. On-Land Processing & Global Supply Chains- Scope expansion: Season 2 follows seafood from ship to shore, uncovering forced labor in processing plants across China, India, and along the North Korean border. - Chinese processing centers: Utilizing open-source intelligence and encrypted Chinese platforms, Urbina's team documented state-orchestrated labor transfers of Uyghurs from Xinjiang to coastal seafood factories—facilities that supply major global buyers, including U.S. government cafeterias. Workers face locked compounds, surveillance, and coercion akin to modern slavery. - North Korean laborers: Thousands of North Korean women are trafficked into Chinese factories under government vetting. Held in locked dorms and subjected to widespread sexual abuse and forced overtime, these women are trapped by debts owed to smugglers and extortion from border officials. - Indian shrimp processing: A whistleblower's 50,000-page dossier exposed debt bondage, physical confinement, and antibiotic-tainted shrimp at processing plants in India. As Western buyers migrated from Thailand to India, the same labor abuses reemerged, threatening food safety and ethical sourcing.By weaving narrative storytelling with hard data and firsthand testimony, this episode underscores the urgent need for transparent supply chains and international enforcement to protect vulnerable workers and marine ecosystems.

This episode of the Lawyerist Podcast offers a thorough exploration of understanding introversion, shyness, and social anxiety, and how these traits can be leveraged as strengths, particularly in the legal profession. You'll hear Zack Glaser's conversation with law professor and author Heidi Brown, who shares insights from her book, The Introverted Lawyer.  Heidi provides clarity on the distinctions between being an introvert—someone who processes information internally and recharges with solitude—versus shyness or social anxiety, which stem from a fear of judgment or criticism. Heidi Brown, a public speaker and author who identifies as an introvert, demonstrates that it's possible to be confident and professionally effective while embracing introversion.  You'll discover how introversion can be a "superpower," bringing valuable assets such as active listening, thoughtful problem-solving, empathy, sensitivity to nuance, and strong writing skills to any professional dynamic. The conversation also covers practical steps for introverts to show up authentically and confidently, including mental and physical reflection techniques, reframing negative self-talk, and developing pre-game and game-day routines for high-pressure situations.  Heidi offers perspectives on supporting introverted team members to foster a shared vocabulary around individual strengths. Learn how to recognize and harness your unique qualities, or those of your team, to excel in the legal profession.    Listen to our other episodes:  #564: The Gift in the Struggle: Leveraging Emotional Intelligence for Growth, with Sara Muender Apple Podcasts | Spotify | Lawyerist  #535: Lawyer Burnout: 5 Hidden Signs You're About to Crash, with Natasha Evans Apple Podcasts | Spotify | Lawyerist     #506: Managing Stress & Avoiding Burnout, with Emily Nagoski  Apple Podcasts | Spotify | Lawyerist       Have thoughts about today's episode?

Eric Lerner, President and Chief Scientist at LPPFusion, is leading a team that is taking a radically different approach to nuclear fusion—one that could make abundant, safe energy a reality for all.Unlike massive, billion-dollar fusion projects, LPPFusion focuses on a compact and cost-effective technology. Instead of using traditional deuterium-tritium fuel, which creates dangerous neutrons and requires enormous, expensive machinery, LPPFusion uses hydrogen and boron—both non-radioactive and plentiful. The result? As Eric Lerner explained in this episode of Superpowers for Good, “when they combine, they produce pure helium and no neutrons. And that means we can make the machine very compact, very small, very cheap, and we can convert the energy directly to electricity without using steam turbines and generators, which are very expensive.”This technological shift is also about access. LPPFusion is raising capital through regulated investment crowdfunding, allowing everyday people—not just wealthy, accredited investors—to participate in the future of energy. As Eric shared, “through crowdfunding, we can reach lots of people. And we are reaching lots of people… we are using crowdfunding simply to reach a mass audience that has to know about this technology.”LPPFusion's approach is also unique in its embrace of nature's own plasma instabilities, rather than fighting them. “Most people in the field try to suppress those instabilities… but we imitate nature… the machine we're working with, plasma focus, uses those instabilities to compress and heat the plasma. And that also makes our path a lot easier,” Eric said.Despite raising only a fraction of the capital of their larger competitors, Eric and his team have achieved the best scientific results among private fusion efforts. Their work is openly published, and the opportunity to learn more or even invest is available to all.As the world seeks solutions to the global energy crisis, innovators like Eric Lerner and the LPPFusion team show that transformative ideas often come from smaller, more agile labs. Their work could redefine energy—and now, anyone can help make it happen.tl;dr:Eric Lerner explains how LPPFusion is using hydrogen-boron fuel to pursue cleaner, safer fusion energy.Their approach leverages plasma instabilities, making fusion devices smaller, cheaper, and more efficient.LPPFusion raises funds through regulated investment crowdfunding, inviting broader public participation.Eric shares how scientific method and persistent teamwork drive progress, even with limited resources.The episode highlights the transformative potential of fusion energy and how anyone can get involved.How to Develop Scientific Method As a SuperpowerEric's superpower is the scientific method. He describes it as the power to “not only… predict the future, but to change the future.” It's not merely a set of laboratory procedures, but a disciplined, collaborative way of learning “the truth about the universe, by the method of prediction and test against observations made subsequent to those predictions.” Eric credits mentors like Hannes Alfven for teaching him that the scientific method is about teamwork, persistent experimentation, and understanding the processes that create and sustain things—not just the things themselves.Eric's application of this superpower is best illustrated by his early work in astrophysics, which led him to fusion. As a young researcher, he noticed a regularity in cosmic structures and, guided by scientific curiosity and mentorship, he investigated the electromagnetic processes that might explain it. This search led him to the study of plasma filaments, a discovery that inspired the fusion device at the heart of LPPFusion. He and his team confirmed in the lab that these plasma filaments exist just as they do in the cosmos, validating his methodical, persistent approach and opening a new path for fusion energy.Eric's advice for cultivating this superpower includes:Collaborate with others and learn from mentorsEmbrace persistence—expect many failed experiments before successFocus on understanding processes, not just end resultsRely on prediction and testing, not assumptionsBe transparent and open with your workBy following Eric's example and advice, you can make the scientific method a skill. With practice and effort, you could make it a superpower that enables you to do more good in the world.Remember, however, that research into success suggests that building on your own superpowers is more important than creating new ones or overcoming weaknesses. You do you!Guest ProfileEric Lerner (he/him):President and Chief Scientist, LPPFusion, Inc.About LPPFusion, Inc.: LPPFusion is on a fast path to developing nuclear fusion generators that we predict will produce safe, clean, unlimited energy, far cheaper energy than any present-day energy source. We call our technology Focus Fusion. We predict it can solve our global environmental challenges and at the same time lift the standard of living for all.Website: lppfusion.comBiographical Information: A leading physicist in dense plasma focus research for 40 years. Eric developed an original model of the role of the quantum magnetic field effect and has pioneered in the application of astrophysical results to fusion energy research. He is also the author of the book "the Big Bang Never Happened" and has published many papers in peer-reviewed journals on both fusion energy and cosmology.Support Our SponsorsOur generous sponsors make our work possible, serving impact investors, social entrepreneurs, community builders and diverse founders.
