Sometimes, it begins with a pair of brothers who love good design, care deeply about their city, and want to create spaces where neighbors can gather and belong.That's the story of Joe McCallum, co-owner of Rise Over Run, who is transforming the Sunnyslope neighborhood of Phoenix, Arizona, one building at a time. What began as an appreciation for mid-century modern architecture has evolved into a mission to bring new life to an overlooked community while preserving its authentic character.“Sunnyslope is such a good example of that,” Joe said. “There's been a community here that's a little removed... it's maintained a little bit of quirkiness and a little bit of its own character, and I think it deserves to be highlighted.”Joe and his brother began by purchasing a distinctive 1960 mid-century modern building at 524 West Hatcher Road. Their goal was simple: to repurpose and reimagine it as something that could anchor local energy and pride. After experimenting with a furniture showroom, they're now transforming the space into a taproom focused on Arizona-made beer and wine, complete with room for community events, art shows, and local gatherings.But Joe's vision extends beyond one building. Rise Over Run has already added another property across the street, now home to a coffee shop, art studio, and florist. Together, these spaces are becoming catalysts for a renewed sense of connection and belonging in Sunnyslope.To help fund this mission, Rise Over Run is raising capital through a regulated investment crowdfunding campaign on Small Change, a platform that specializes in socially impactful real estate projects. This approach allows local supporters—not just accredited investors—to invest directly in the revitalization of their own neighborhood.“For many people who may not be accredited investors or may not even know that that's a thing to be, there's a way to invest via crowdfunding,” Joe explained. “It allows a broader group from the community to feel like they are part of something they're not only cheering from the sidelines, but actually supporting directly.”That's the essence of what makes Rise Over Run so special. It's not just a real estate project—it's a movement to empower community members to take part in shaping their environment. As Joe put it, it's “a way to directly support seeing that happen in this community.”You can learn more about the project—or even invest—by visiting s4g.biz/sunny, which links directly to Rise Over Run's offering on Small Change.tl;dr:Joe McCallum shared how Rise Over Run is revitalizing Sunnyslope through community-driven real estate projects.Joe explained his motivation to preserve the neighborhood's quirky identity while creating vibrant gathering spaces.He discussed Rise Over Run's regulated investment crowdfunding campaign on Small Change, inviting locals to invest in their community.Joe revealed that his superpower is curiosity, which drives him to explore ideas and uncover opportunities others might miss.He encouraged listeners to nurture curiosity by staying open, following genuine interests, and challenging conventional paths.How to Develop Curiosity As a SuperpowerJoe's superpower is curiosity, a natural drive to explore, learn, and uncover hidden potential. “Curiosity,” Joe explained, “is what...led me to what I'm doing now.” His insatiable desire to “turn over stones” and “pull the thread” has fueled his career as an investment analyst and now as a real estate developer. Whether it's researching a neighborhood's history or uncovering opportunities in forgotten buildings, Joe's curiosity has been the driving force behind his success and impact.Illustrative Story:Joe's curiosity led him and his brother to Sunny Slope. They were drawn to an abandoned mid-century modern building with potential, even though it wasn't listed for sale. Through research, they uncovered the property's history and reached out to the owner, a real estate agent who hadn't pursued his plans for the property. This curiosity-driven approach enabled Joe to acquire and transform the building, setting the foundation for Rise Over Run's projects in the neighborhood.Tips for Developing Curiosity:Follow Your Interests: Pursue topics and ideas that naturally catch your attention.Avoid Prejudging Paths: Don't dismiss opportunities that don't fit the traditional mold of success.Dig Deeper: Research and explore beyond surface-level information to uncover hidden opportunities.Engage with Others: Learn from people who share your interests to expand your understanding and perspective.By following Joe McCallum's example and advice, you can make curiosity 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 ProfileJoe McCallum (he/him):Co-Owner, Rise Over RunAbout Rise Over Run: Rise Over Run is an investment holding company focused on adaptive reuse and infill real estate development in the Sunnyslope neighborhood of Phoenix, AZ.

Go to www.LearningLeader.com for full show notes The Learning Leader Show with Ryan Hawk This is brought to you by Insight Global. If you need to hire one 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 has the hustle and grit to deliver. www.InsightGlobal.com/LearningLeader My guest: Dave Berke is a retired US Marine Corps Officer, TOPGUN Instructor, and now a leadership instructor and speaker with Echelon Front, where he serves as Chief Development Officer. As a F/A-18 pilot, he deployed twice from the USS John C Stennis in support of combat operations in Iraq and Afghanistan. He spent three years as an Instructor Pilot at TOPGUN where he served as the Training Officer, the senior staff pilot responsible for the conduct of the TOPGUN course. Notes: July 2001: Plans Don't Survive Contact - Dave's Top Gun graduation exercise as flight lead. Wingman yells, "Showtime one-one break right!" - an F-5 snuck into formation. Dave was staring at the radar instead of looking out, had to fall out of formation, and ended up at the back instead of leading from the front. Mission successful, but nothing like he planned. Dave: "The outcome was still really good... except it was nothing like I thought it was going to be." Lesson: You're planning for the success of the outcome, not how you're going to do it. The most important attribute in a leader is humility. To be effective, you must be able to listen, learn, be flexible, and admit you're wrong sometimes. One of the biggest issues they deal with when working with leaders is ego and/or the inability to be humble. As leaders, we need to be self-aware enough to realize when our ego is getting the best of us. And surrounding ourselves with people who will help us know when that is happening as well. Be Fluid with Plans, Deliberate with Outcomes - Be really fluid and loose with plans, but deliberate about aligning the team on outcomes. Dave grew up as a control freak, OCD planner. Dave: "In life, it's just not how life works... If you can align on the mission and outcome, and you are very open-minded that there are a lot of different ways to get there, you're far more likely to be successful." The military saying, "The enemy gets a vote." Ryan's quarterback coach after an interception: "He's on scholarship too, you know?" Process: How You Create It Matters Most - Process is important, but how you create it matters most. If you agree on the outcome, the conversation should be less about agreement, more about "When you talk about step one, what are you thinking? How does this lead to step two?" The process has to be organic. When you create it, you're more likely to maneuver around challenges. Book Dedication: Chris and Kat - Book dedicated to Corporal Chris Leon and his mother, Kat. Chris was a radio operator on Dave's 13-man Anglo team. June 20, 2006, Chris was killed by an enemy sniper in Iraq - first Anglican Marine killed there. Dave's son is Matthew Leon Burke - took Chris's last name. Chris's mom Kat is Aunt Kat to Dave's family. Dave: "I always say I really deep down wish I didn't know Kat, because that would've meant Chris came home and life just went on. But that's not what happened." Chris taught bravery. Kat taught strength. Top Gun Reality: It's About the Team - 1986 Top Gun most impactful movie on Dave's life at 14. But the movie depicts a lone wolf. Marine Corps teaches: Your contribution to the team matters most. A really good pilot who's self-centered will do more damage than a slightly less capable pilot who's a real team player. Dave: "If there's ever a team sport, it's going into combat... It's not about you. It's about the team." Trust: Action, Not Description - Echelon codifies relationships: Trust, respect, listening, influence. Trust is the cornerstone. Dave: "If you don't trust me, I could be good at so many things. If there is a trust gap, there's going to be a problem in the relationship and team." Trust is action you take.  Ego: The Universal Challenge - When Echelon works with companies, challenges are almost always connected to ego. Dave: "Our egos tend to wreak havoc at each level of organization." From birth, the ego drives us down the wrong path. When debating plans, ego says, "You're right, he's wrong." Building good leadership is managing egos. Dave: "Humility is the most important attribute in a leader. All the attributes, humility is number one, and we don't waffle on that." Humility Enables Everything Else - Dave worked with the biggest, toughest SEALs. Attribute most critical to success: humility. Ability to listen, learn, be flexible, change, admit you're wrong, and go with someone else's plan. It even affects fitness. Humility touches everything. Doesn't diminish other attributes, but allows you to strengthen them.  Teaching Humility: Subordinate Your Ego - You can't tell someone with a big ego to be humble. Dave: "The biggest challenge with someone else's ego is not their ego. It's your ego's response to it." Most counterintuitive thing: If you clash with Ryan, Dave has to subordinate his ego to Ryan's. Lower your ego: "Hey Ryan, I've been pushing back hard, I realize I'm not listening." Natural reaction: Ryan's ego starts to drop. Over time, collaborate more. You connect success to the ability to control the ego. Dave: "Humility is the measurement of how much control you have over your ego." What you give is usually what you get. It's reciprocal. Care About Team More Than Yourself - When your people see you working hard to clear paths or block an egomaniac boss, they'll run through walls for you. Outcome of a good relationship: You care about the team, the team cares about you. That selfless act shows you care about them more than yourself. Dave: "That's how you show that you care about them more than yourself, and that's what a leader's job is, to care about the team more than you care about yourself. That's parenting, that's marriage." Extreme Ownership - Book Extreme Ownership changed Dave's understanding. When you take ownership, take ownership of everything. Caveat: Not things you literally don't control. But you have ownership over everything, even just how you react. After Chris was killed, Dave said, "That's war, nothing we can do." Problem: When he embraced it wasn't his responsibility, it meant he didn't have as much to change. Should have asked: "What is everything we can do to make sure this doesn't happen again?" The tendency is to undershoot ownership. Try to take it to the extreme. If you can take ownership of everything you can control, you get more influence over the outcome. Detachment: A Superpower - Dave: "Detachment is a superpower" - (1) almost nobody can do it, and (2) if you can, it's massively influential. Detachment is being in control of emotions. When overwhelmed with priorities and pressures, you tend to get emotional. When you react emotionally, you make bad decisions. Learn the skill of detaching - not to be devoid of emotion (we're human), but don't let emotions dictate. Get Away from Problems to See What's Causing It - When a problem occurs at work, you tend to focus on it, go into it. It seems good but is often wrong. You should get away from it, detach. Getting away lets you look around and see what's really causing it. Military example: The enemy is shooting at you; the tendency is to focus on that. Usually bad because they're hoping you do - then they send a flanking maneuver. If you detach, step back, you'll see the flanking maneuver coming. Be able to see the future - that's the superpower.  Know Your Red Flags - Intervene Early - You have to understand where you are escalating your emotions. Know your personal red flags. Most people don't go zero to 100. Long day, flight delayed, bad meeting - little things tick up, so zero is actually 4 or 5, which means dirty dishes put you to 7. When Dave gets frustrated, traps tighten up. Some people's nose turns red. If you're at level 8 and someone says, "calm down," it makes it worse. But if at level 1 or 2 and you intervene, you're in control. What an adult does: "I'm an emotional guy, but I have awareness of where I am. If I'm a 4, I gotta intervene then." If at level 10, detaching is not gonna happen. That's the difference between kids and adults. Dave: "You are much more likely to have a hard time controlling your emotions, ironically, with people you care about the most." Quotes: "You're planning for the success of the outcome, not how you're going to go about doing that, because things get in the way."  "Humility is the most important attribute in a leader. All the attributes. Humility is number one, and we don't waffle on that."  "The biggest challenge with someone else's ego is not their ego.

Send us a textThe sky went dark at midday, the temperature dipped, and a continent held its breath. We chased the total solar eclipse to Texas and came back with more than a memory—fresh science on how birds react when day vanishes and returns a few minutes later. Leveraging a blend of community observations, autonomous recorders, and BirdNET machine learning, researchers tracked behavior from Mexico to Canada and found a clear pattern: movement slowed during totality while vocalizations spiked, followed by a pseudo-dawn burst when the light returned. Some species, like American Robins and Barred Owls, showed dramatic shifts; others didn't budge, pointing to species-specific sensitivity to light.That sudden flip from light to dark is more than a spectacle—it's a powerful biological cue. We connect the dots to artificial light at night, from migration disruptions to window strikes, and explore how city lighting policies and dark-sky practices can protect wildlife without sacrificing safety. When the whole sky changes at once, you see how deeply behavior is tuned to brightness. It's a rare, elegant experiment you can't reproduce in a lab, and it gives us practical guidance for urban design and conservation.Back on the home front, we turn to a concern every family with pets and kids faces: children often misread dog body language. New data show that four- to seven-year-olds frequently mistake angry dog faces for happy ones, with high error rates even at seven. Most bites happen at home, during child-initiated contact, and without supervision. We share simple, actionable steps—teach a few key cues, keep greetings calm, supervise play, and give dogs guaranteed safe spaces—to preserve the empathy and comfort dogs bring while lowering risk.If you love science, animals, and practical insights that make life better, this one's for you. Our links!Support the showFor Science, Empathy, and Cuteness!Being Kind is a Superpower.

That's precisely the mission of Dr. Jacques Jospitre, the co-founder and CEO of SohoMD, which is transforming mental health care by combining holistic, clinical evaluations with modern medicine.Dr. Jospitre notes that today's medical system is often fragmented and rushed, leaving patients feeling frustrated and stuck. “When you dig deep, you get to some root problems, and more importantly, you get to some real solutions to help patients feel better,” he explained. SohoMD takes the time to perform thorough evaluations, examining factors like nutritional deficiencies, endocrine imbalances, and past traumas alongside psychiatric symptoms. This approach allows them to create highly effective treatment plans tailored to each patient.Improving mental health care requires a fresh approach, one that goes beyond treating symptoms to address root causes. That's precisely the mission of Dr. Jacques Jospitre, the co-founder and CEO of SohoMD, which is transforming mental health care by combining holistic, clinical evaluations with modern medicine.Dr. Jospitre notes that today's medical system is often fragmented and rushed, leaving patients feeling frustrated and stuck. “When you dig deep, you get to some root problems, and more importantly, you get to some real solutions to help patients feel better,” he explained. SohoMD takes the time to perform thorough evaluations, examining factors like nutritional deficiencies, endocrine imbalances, and past traumas alongside psychiatric symptoms. This approach allows them to create highly effective treatment plans tailored to each patient.One key element of their success is SohoMD's ability to identify overlooked issues in patients who are thought to be “treatment resistant.” Instead of relying solely on prescriptions, the team looks deeper to uncover problems like vitamin deficiencies or thyroid dysfunction that mimic mental health conditions. “A good portion of people thought to be treatment resistant aren't resistant at all—they just need a more thorough evaluation,” Jacques shared.The results speak for themselves. Jacques revealed that over 80% of patients in this group see significant improvements under SohoMD's care. These outcomes, combined with their emphasis on addressing both biological and psychological factors, have led to increased patient satisfaction and trust.Now, SohoMD is ready to scale its innovative model across the country. To accelerate its growth, the company is raising funds on WeFunder, inviting the public to join this mission-driven journey. Jacques emphasized the importance of aligning with investors who prioritize patient care over profit. “We wanted to invite the community to be part of this process…where the clinical goals of helping patients achieve true improvement always come first.”This episode highlights the transformative potential of holistic mental health care. By addressing root causes and involving the community in its growth, SohoMD is setting a powerful example for how health care can—and should—be done.tl;dr:SohoMD provides holistic mental health care, addressing root causes like nutrition and hormones alongside symptoms.Dr. Jacques Jospitre explained how their approach improves outcomes for “treatment resistant” patients.Over 80% of these patients see significant improvements under SohoMD's thorough care model.The company is scaling rapidly across the U.S. and raising funds via WeFunder to expand further.Jacques shared his superpower of simplifying complexity and tips for developing this critical skill.How to Develop Simplifying Complexity As a SuperpowerJacques described his superpower as the ability to simplify complex ideas and take action on them. He shared, “I think my superpower is taking things that are very complicated and simplifying them and taking action on it.” This includes connecting ideas across diverse fields like neuroscience, functional medicine, and business to build practical, effective solutions. His innate curiosity and love for learning have allowed him to integrate knowledge into SohoMD's holistic care model, creating meaningful change for patients.Illustrative Story:Jacques shared how his superpower emerged early in life through his diverse interests and connections. He reflected on his ability to build friendships across different backgrounds and perspectives, serving as a bridge between people who might not otherwise connect. This skill helped him foster collaboration and empathy—qualities he now uses to unite disciplines and create patient-centered mental health solutions at SohoMD.Tips for Developing the Superpower:Develop self-awareness through practices like meditation or journaling.Pursue diverse interests with genuine curiosity.Build empathy by forming connections with people from different backgrounds.Focus on integrating knowledge into actionable solutions.By following Jacques' example and advice, you can make simplifying complexity 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.

S5:E28 If “AI” still feels like magic tricks and missed ROI, this episode will flip the switch. Dr. LL sat down with Jim Weldon (Founder/CEO, Prospect.ai) (one of the sharpest systems thinkers she has ever interviewed) to map a practical path to cash with agentic AI. Here's what you'll walk away with: ✴️A meta-model you can explain to your team in 60 seconds so everyone finally understands where AI value lives. ✴️A 2-week innovation cadence you can copy-paste into your org and no enterprise budget required. ✴️The lane strategy for seasoned operators vs. young ideators so you stop competing in the wrong game and start compounding wins. ✴️The unsexy USP that beats competitors: nail the basics (speed, follow-up, clarity, billing, referrals). ✴️How to become a utility in your market (the “water & power” behind others' growth) instead of an easily replaced vendor. If you lead a small or midsize business and want results in the next 30 days, not theory, then this is the episode. 0:53 — Superpower: synthesis over “speeds & feeds.” Jim explains how to ignore noise and frame problems so solutions map to real market opportunities. 3:15 — The Meta-Model for AI. A memorable analogy for LLMs (answers), agentic flows (task chains), and enterprise-grade platforms plus where value will concentrate next. 10:45 — Beat “aging out”: redefine your lane. Mindset + role clarity: younger teams dominate ideation; experienced operators win in innovation, beta, and scale where cash is created. 11:58 — Two-week innovation cadence. Jim's playbook: 48-hour prototype only after value is proven. Use no-code + agents to compress cycles. 34:16 — The most overlooked USP: do the basics flawlessly.

Today's conversation stuck with me long after we hit stop. My guest is Elan Gelfand, a 20-year-old college student and podcaster who caught my attention almost immediately because of his superpower – self-directed learning. From the moment we connected, I could tell he is not your typical college student. He is not waiting for other people to tell him what to learn and do in order to be successful. He is taking ownership of his learning, asking the hard questions most people avoid, and doing the internal work that rarely shows up on a transcript. Instead of chasing grades, credentials, or social media likes, he chases insights. We talk about the quiet burden of being different, the hard moments that shaped him, and the deep sense of purpose that fuels him. This is not just a story about another Gen Z-er trying to become an influencer, but about a young man determined to make the most of his life.

Ever feel like you're running a company in crisis mode — constantly reacting, barely breathing, always putting out fires? You're not alone. Most CEOs don't have a strategy problem — they have a foresight problem. In this powerful episode, Lisa Goldenthal reveals how world-class leaders break free from chaos and step into calm, clear, and confident leadership. You'll discover how to stop leading reactively and start anticipating what's next — before it hits. Lisa answers four game-changing questions every CEO needs to face: 1️⃣ 1-How can you stop reacting to chaos and start leading with clarity? 2️⃣ 2-What separates reactive leaders from truly strategic ones? 3️⃣ 3-How can you develop foresight as a repeatable system, not just a skill? 4️⃣ 4-What blind spots are keeping even smart leaders stuck in “firefighting mode”? With her signature BOSS Foresight Formula™, Lisa shares the exact tools elite CEOs use to predict change, decode resistance, and turn motion into momentum. Because the future doesn't belong to the fastest — it belongs to the most aware.

Bret Baier, Chief Political Anchor for Fox News, Anchor of Special Report with Bret Baier weeknights at 6pm, and author of To Rescue the American Spirit: Teddy Roosevelt and the Birth of a Superpower, joined The Guy Benson Show today to discuss the parallels between Teddy Roosevelt and Donald Trump, two leaders who share a drive to shape narratives and influence global politics. Baier also broke down the significance of Trump's newly brokered ceasefire deal, how it could expand the Abraham Accords, and why a Gaza peacekeeping force must come together quickly. Plus, he weighed in on Trump's growing frustration with Russia and how it could signal increased U.S. support for Ukraine. Listen to the full interview below. Learn more about your ad choices.

With TikTok's 1.6 billion active users worldwide and unprecedented power it wields over culture, politics, and commerce, the social video app's addictive algorithm is one of the greatest prizes in America's technological cold war with China. How did this social media platform become so wildly popular and a source of contention in international politics? In her book Every Screen on the Planet, Harvard-trained lawyer and investigative journalist Emily Baker-White charts TikTok's rise from the Chinese founders' ambitions to its emergence as the world's most valuable startup―and a potential surveillance and propaganda tool for strongmen―to the dramatic events surrounding its ban and tenuous resurrection in January 2025.  Come hear about the reporting that caused TikTok to track the author and led to an ongoing criminal investigation. Baker-White's engrossing narrative takes us inside the struggle as hawks in Congress push the company to the brink while the U.S. government seeks backdoor access to observe and influence TikTok's data stream. Touching on politics, finance, business, and technology, she explains that the war for TikTok will either create a blueprint for autocrats to warp our information landscape or close the open internet as we know it.

For years, Jane Chen, co-founder of Embrace Global, embodied that belief. Her social enterprise, born out of Stanford, created a life-saving, low-cost baby incubator for premature and underweight infants in regions without reliable electricity. Today, Embrace has reached over one million babies worldwide—a staggering achievement. But behind that success, Jane faced a personal reckoning.As she recounts in her new memoir, Like a Wave We Break, her drive to serve others came at a cost. “I was beyond burned out,” she shared. “After ten years, I just did not see a path forward.” The collapse of a long-awaited acquisition left her organization in crisis, and Jane herself in emotional ruin. Seeking healing, she packed a suitcase and a surfboard and embarked on a global journey to rediscover her strength.What she found reshaped her understanding of resilience. “For so long, I thought resilience meant pushing through, pushing harder,” she said. “What I really learned is that resilience means slowing down and having compassion for ourselves.” It was a revelation that transformed how she leads and lives.Her story resonates deeply with those working in impact, where passion often eclipses personal well-being. Jane's journey reminds us that the sustainability of missions depends on the sustainability of those who lead them. “If we don't care for ourselves first,” she said, “we're not really investing in the longevity of our organizations or the impact we want to make.”Jane's experience highlights an essential truth for social entrepreneurs and changemakers alike: healing isn't the opposite of impact—it's part of it. Through self-compassion, changemakers build the endurance to keep doing good for years to come.Her book offers both an intimate personal story and a roadmap for those struggling with burnout. Jane's lessons are not just about surviving adversity but transforming it into wisdom that sustains both purpose and peace. In today's world of relentless striving, her message could not be more timely.tl;dr:Jane Chen shared how Embrace Global's portable incubators saved over one million premature babies.She revealed how unresolved childhood trauma fueled her mission but led to extreme burnout.Jane explained how vulnerability transformed her leadership style and strengthened her team's connection.Her healing journey taught her that resilience means slowing down and practicing self-compassion.Jane's superpower, love and tenacity, inspires sustainable leadership and impactful social change.How to Develop Love and Tenacity As a SuperpowerJane's superpower combines love and tenacity to drive her mission and personal growth. As she explained in today's episode, love has guided her best decisions—whether building Embrace Global with a passion for saving lives or extending compassion inward during her healing journey. Coupled with relentless tenacity, Jane has overcome obstacles, from manufacturing challenges to personal burnout, to create lasting impact. “When you put those things together, love and tenacity, you can get great results,” she shared.One story perfectly exemplifies Jane's superpower. Early in her leadership at Embrace, a premature baby in China weighing just two pounds was found abandoned on the street. The baby was placed in an Embrace incubator, where he thrived. Years later, Jane reunited with the boy—now healthy and adopted by a family in Chicago—when he visited her in Hawaii. This powerful moment, she said, embodied the love and determination that sustained her 16-year journey with Embrace.To cultivate love and tenacity, Jane suggests:Pause and Listen to Your Heart: Step away from the noise and reflect on what truly drives you.Practice Self-Compassion: Care for yourself as you would for others to sustain your work long-term.Embrace Vulnerability: Lead authentically by sharing your emotions and creating space for others to do the same.Pursue Relentlessly: Stay determined, even when challenges arise, and seek out the resources you need.By following Jane's example and advice, you can make love and tenacity 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.

Are you someone who's always found yourself in the high-achiever camp - ticking boxes, reaching goals, maybe being a little harder on yourself than you'd ever admit? If so, this episode is especially for you. I'm revealing some home truths about what it really means to be a high achiever in business, warts and all. We're talking about why your strongest traits might be both your greatest strengths and the sneaky culprits slowing your progress. In today's episode, I'm sharing honest stories from my own journey - moments where my high-achieving mindset helped me break through and times when it actually held me back. If you've ever found yourself frustrated, watching others “fly ahead” while you're quietly wondering, “Why am I not further along by now?” then stick around. I promise, you're not alone, and there's a good reason behind it. Here's a taste of what I chat about in this episode: Why do some of our top strengths turn into our biggest obstacles in entrepreneurship? (And what can we do about it?) What are the classic “toxic traits” high achievers need to watch out for - like thinking, “I already know this,” or refusing to ask for help? How can you spot when your drive and capability are actually holding you back, especially when it comes to letting go and getting support in your business? Why is it so vital to check if your business foundations are strong enough for the next level (or are you still building on “one-storey” foundations when you want a “five-storey” business)? How can a mastermind or strategic community help you finally move past those hidden roadblocks - even if you've “done this before?” Curious which of these high-achievers' self-sabotaging habits you might be living into, and how you can flip them into true superpowers? Grab your coffee, put your feet up, and let's have a real conversation about what makes success sustainable and fun.

I connected with someone new recently when I saw this post from Gary Hensel (@gary_hensel) and it's a powerful reminder for all of us. We can all have this superpower, in fact we already have it. But if you are like me, I need to have it a bit more often everyday and that's exactly what I plan on doing.  This thought here means a lot: “Calmness is a superpower. The ability to not overreact or take things personally keeps your mind clear and your heart at peace.” ~ Idil Ahmed  In today's crazy and mixed up world, keeping calm is a necessity for living our best life. Anything that can help keep our mind clear and our heart at peace, is something worth going for. Remember, when we are better, it helps everyone around us be better too.  Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/   on Twitter / “X”:  @coachtosuccess   and on Instagram at:  @coachjohndaly  - My YouTube Channel is at: Coach John Daly.   Email me at: CoachJohnDalyPodcast@gmail.com     You can also head on over to https://www.coachtoexpectsuccess.com/ and get in touch with me there on my homepage along with checking out my Top Book list too.  Other things there on my site are being worked on too.  Please let me know that you are reaching out to me from my podcast.

If you've ever caught your mind spiraling at 2 a.m., you know how it can feel to have your brain working against you. But what if you could train it to be your ally instead of your adversary? In How to Make Your Brain Your Best Friend, author and neuroscientist Rachel Barr lays out a practical playbook for turning down the volume on unhelpful loops and turning up the habits that build clarity, calm, and positive momentum.

In this episode, CJ sits down with Joe Floyd, General Partner at Emergence Capital, for a candid conversation about the venture landscape reshaped by AI. They unpack how acqui-hires are rewriting the social contract between founders and investors, why AI engineers are commanding “boy band money,” and how SaaS playbooks are being torn up and rebuilt in real time. Joe explains the economics of AI-native startups — from circular capital flows to model-provider costs — and explores whether the next trillion-dollar private company could come from this new wave. Along the way, they discuss valuation frenzy, headcount discipline, and why curiosity might be the most valuable skill in tech today.—LINKS:Joe Floyd on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/joefloyd/HarbourVest Partners: https://www.emcap.com/CJ on X (@cjgustafson222): https://x.com/cjgustafson222Mostly metrics: https://www.mostlymetrics.comRELATED EPISODES:Why Fundraising Has Slowed Down: Insights from Emergence Capital's Benchmarking Report: From Credit Karma to Notion: CFO Rama Katkar on Leading Finance Through Every Growth Stage:—TIMESTAMPS:(00:00:00) Preview and Intro(00:00:54) Opening and Episode Overview(00:02:53) Sponsor – RightRev | Tipalti | Aleph(00:07:07) Back to the Office and Startup Pace in San Francisco(00:08:40) AI Tooling Experiments and the Risk of Short-Term Hype(00:10:19) Building Stickier AI Products and Competing in Crowded Markets(00:12:27) SaaS Moats, Product-Market Fit, and the AI Shift(00:14:00) How Productivity Platforms Use AI To Stay Sticky(00:15:58) Continuous Authentication and the Next Wave of Security Tech(00:16:36) Sponsor – Rillet | Fidelity Private Shares | Mercury(00:19:54) Acqui-Hires, the Social Contract, and the War for AI Talent(00:22:42) Stock-Based Comp and the Economics of Attracting Engineers(00:24:39) The New Go-to-Market Playbook and Curiosity as a Superpower(00:27:59) AI's Impact on Sales, Forecasting, and Buyer Behavior(00:29:11) Coding Agents, Headcount Reduction, and the Future of Engineering(00:32:21) Building Defensible IP and Competing in the LLM Ecosystem(00:34:34) AI ROI, Payback Periods, and the Search for Efficiency(00:37:17) Valuations, Fund Cycles, and the Venture Market Reset(00:40:20) The Circular Flow of AI Capital and Infrastructure Overbuild(00:45:37) AI Pricing Models, Platform Wars, and Open Source Futures(00:50:02) The Race to the First $1 Trillion Private Company(00:51:09) Credits and Outro—SPONSORS:Fidelity Private Shares is the all-in-one equity management platform that keeps your cap table clean, your data room organized, and your equity story clear—so you never risk losing a fundraising round over messy records.

Send us a textA newborn with higher pTau217 than an adult with Alzheimer's—what would that mean for how we detect, define, and treat dementia? We dive into a startling new finding that reframes tau phosphorylation as a dynamic, reversible process rather than a one-way street. From the costs and tradeoffs of PET scans and CSF analysis to the promise of new blood tests, we lay out how clinicians navigate biomarkers and why context matters. If babies and even hibernating animals can toggle tau safely, we might be looking at a new horizon for Alzheimer's research—one that prioritizes regulation over blunt suppression and respects the difference between signals and symptoms.Then we turn to our dogs and a different kind of brain science: play that looks a lot like behavioral addiction. In a study of high-drive pets, some dogs pursued play so intensely they ignored food and struggled to settle once the toy disappeared. The kicker? It's not the toy—it's the play. We unpack how anticipation and reward loops shape behavior, why shepherds and terriers tend to lean in hard, and how to channel that energy with structured games, clear start/stop cues, and decompression routines that protect both joy and well-being.Our guest, Dr. Nancy Kay—veterinarian and small animal internal medicine specialist—brings practical wisdom to family life with pets. She explains how to choose a dog that truly fits a home with kids, why supervision and respect rules beat wishful thinking, and how to steer clear of puppy mills and dog auctions with two simple safeguards: never buy from pet stores and never purchase sight unseen. We talk about her middle-grade novel, “A Dog Named 647,” her advocacy guide “Speaking for Spot,” and the unforgettable cases that come with a life in medicine—from swallowed treasures to high-stakes rescues. It's science that matters, compassion that lasts, and stories that stick.Enjoy the conversation?
