Founded by Meseret Warner, Ignite Investment has taken on the ambitious task of enabling equity crowdfunding in Ethiopia, a country where capital markets had been almost non-existent until recently. In today's episode, Meseret shared how her platform is connecting Ethiopia's burgeoning entrepreneurs with the African diaspora to overcome geographic and financial barriers.“Ethiopia never had capital markets in the country,” Meseret explained. “But now we have a new proclamation in 2021... and equity investment crowdfunding is one of them.” This regulatory breakthrough has allowed Ignite Investment to operate in Ethiopia under a sandbox model, enabling the platform to test innovative financial systems while adhering to local laws.What makes Ignite Investment's approach unique is its focus on the African diaspora. Every year, billions of dollars flow from the diaspora back to the African continent, primarily as remittances. Meseret has created a mechanism to transform these funds into equity investments that support Ethiopian entrepreneurs. “Our target market is the African diaspora that sends billions and billions of dollars… as remittances and even investment,” she said.One of Ignite's recent successes is a rideshare company addressing the transportation challenges in Addis Ababa. This venture, which connects commuters with a network of minibus drivers through an Uber-like system, has nearly closed its fundraising round thanks to Ignite's platform. Meseret revealed, “They could have been oversubscribed because there are a lot more people interested to see them.”This is no small feat. Meseret's persistence has helped Ignite Investment craft partnerships with organizations like Zemen Bank and the African Development Bank, facilitating cross-border investments and providing vital financial infrastructure. Her team's partnership with GIZ, the German development agency, also helps local companies become more attractive to investors by improving transparency and governance.Ignite Investment is more than just a crowdfunding platform; it is a bridge between Ethiopia's untapped innovation and the global capital it needs to thrive. Meseret's vision extends beyond her home country, with plans to expand into other African nations.For investors in the diaspora and beyond, Ignite Investment offers an unprecedented opportunity to support impactful businesses while earning financial returns. Meseret's work is a testament to the power of persistence, innovation, and a belief in the potential of African entrepreneurs.tl;dr:Ethiopia's regulatory progress enabled Ignite Investment to launch equity crowdfunding under a sandbox model.Meseret Warner connects diaspora wealth with Ethiopian entrepreneurs, fostering impactful investments across borders.Ignite's partnerships with Zemen Bank, GIZ, and the African Development Bank strengthen its financial infrastructure.A rideshare company solving Addis Ababa's transportation issues exemplifies Ignite's successful ventures.Meseret's persistence has been key to overcoming challenges and scaling Ignite Investment's mission to other African nations.How to Develop Persistence As a SuperpowerMeseret defines her superpower as persistence, a trait she's relied on during her 11-year journey to build Ignite Investment. She shared that overcoming regulatory hurdles and scaling an innovative platform in Ethiopia required unwavering determination. “Every year, I tell my husband, next year is my year… and then, of course, it doesn't happen. But I always see the light at the end of the tunnel,” she said. Persistence, combined with resourcefulness and partnerships, has been key to her success.Meseret recounted how her persistence helped her navigate Ethiopia's regulatory bottlenecks to establish equity crowdfunding. Ethiopia lacked a formal capital market, but Meseret engaged with regulators, participated in public consultations, and leveraged partnerships to secure a spot in the regulatory sandbox. After six years of groundwork, Ignite Investment is now operational, connecting diaspora investors with local entrepreneurs.Tips for Developing Persistence:Focus on the Big Picture: Identify a solution you believe in and let it guide your actions.Celebrate Small Wins: Acknowledge progress, even if it's incremental, to maintain motivation.Step Back Strategically: When facing challenges, reassess your approach and look for alternative solutions.Leverage Partnerships: Collaborate with individuals and organizations to solve specific challenges.Stay Resourceful: Continuously tap into your network to find answers and support.By following Meseret's example and advice, you can make persistence 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.

Oftentimes, when I'm in my coaching groups, I hear time and time again that clients are still clutching onto their Plan B, their backup plan, their safety net in case they fail. Well, in today's video, I'm preaching something different. This video is urging the entrepreneurs who have a safety net to tear it down, and adopt the feeling of having nowhere else to turn, nothing to fall back on, and completely all in on the hopes and dreams for their business. That perceived desperation, that sense of urgency, might actually be one of the best things that can happen to you.

With 97% of farm income concentrated in just 3% of farms, the remaining 97% struggle to make ends meet, often forcing the next generation to leave farming altogether. Mark Smith, CEO and Co-Founder of Carbon Country, is working to reverse this trend with a groundbreaking vision that combines renewable energy, sustainable farming practices, and economic innovation.Mark's approach centers on agrivoltaics, a system of integrating solar panels with farming. “The idea behind Carbon Country is to transform the economics and sustainability of smallholder farms by adding agrovoltaics, which is a fancy word for solar above farming,” Mark explained. By installing solar panels over grazing land and using regenerative practices like rotational sheep grazing, Carbon Country creates a dual-purpose solution that enhances both energy production and soil health.The potential doesn't stop there. Mark is pioneering carbon removal practices, including biochar production and “wood vaulting,” a process developed by a University of Maryland professor. “We're building the first large-scale biochar facility in Maryland,” Mark said. These initiatives not only sequester carbon but also improve soil quality, making farms more productive and sustainable.To further amplify the economic viability, Mark has integrated energy storage and Bitcoin mining into the model. “We're putting battery storage and Bitcoin mining together, creating an ecosystem with our panels,” he said. By arbitraging peak and non-peak power prices, Carbon Country maximizes revenue while helping stabilize the energy grid.Currently, Carbon Country is raising capital through a regulation crowdfunding campaign on Vicinity Capital. This innovative platform connects investors with high-impact projects, providing opportunities to support sustainable solutions like Mark's.Mark's work is more than a business—it's a mission to ensure smallholder farms remain productive for future generations. “Our goal is to make these farms legacy assets,” he said, “doing important things for both the economy and the environment.”If you want to learn more or invest in this inspiring initiative, visit Carbon Country's crowdfunding page and join the movement to reshape agriculture and energy for a better future.tl;dr:Mark Smith shares how agrivoltaics can transform smallholder farms by combining solar panels with farming.Carbon Country integrates biochar production and carbon storage to improve soil health and sequester carbon.Renewable energy, Bitcoin mining, and storage create economic opportunities for struggling smallholder farmers.Mark explains his superpower of rapid learning and offers advice for mastering new fields.This episode highlights Carbon Country's crowdfunding campaign to support sustainable farming and energy solutions.How to Develop Rapid Learning As a SuperpowerMark Smith's superpower is his ability to quickly master new fields of knowledge. “I think my superpower really is being able to get to near expert level on practically anything very quickly,” he said. This remarkable skill has allowed him to tackle challenges in diverse areas such as recycling, water filtration, and now agrivoltaics. Mark credits his success to curiosity, humility, and a willingness to dedicate time to learning and experimentation.Illustrative Story:Mark shared an example of how his rapid learning ability transformed an idea into reality. Initially exploring abandoned mining sites for solar projects, he discovered that ranches were a better fit. By asking questions about land use and grazing practices, he realized he could integrate rotational grazing and biochar production with solar installations. Through research and conversations with experts, he developed a model that improves soil health, sequesters carbon, and generates renewable energy—all while supporting smallholder farmers.Tips for Developing This Superpower:Be Curious: Read extensively and watch content to understand the basics of new fields.Seek Advice: Approach experts with humility and ask thoughtful questions.Experiment: Start small and learn by doing, even if it means making mistakes.Stay Open: Embrace being a beginner and remain receptive to unexpected insights.By following Mark's example and advice, you can make rapid learning 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.

[STRATEGY SHIFT] We all know the online space has changed. WE GET IT. A few years ago, showing up consistently and “adding value” was enough to attract clients. But now? Value is everywhere. Your audience can get endless free tips, binge YouTube videos, or even ask ChatGPT for step-by-step coaching. So how do you stand out in an AI-saturated market? In this episode of Business Not As Usual, I'm breaking down why your perspective is the most important differentiator you have, and how to use it to create content that actually moves your people to press the damn application button. We'll cover: Why “value” alone isn't cutting it anymore (and what your audience really wants). How AI has shifted buyer behavior and why it's your biggest competitor. The three elements that make your perspective powerful: personality, proof, and positioning. How to start infusing your worldview into your content so you cut through the noise. If your content feels like it's blending in, or worse…like AI could have written it: this episode will show you how to fix that and start creating posts, podcasts, and offers that make people say: “This is my person.”

To answer this question, we speak with Dr. Alan Karthikesalingam and Vivek Natarajan from Google DeepMind about their groundbreaking AI co-scientist project. Beyond their work at Google, Alan is an honorary lecturer in vascular surgery at Imperial College London, and Vivek teaches at Harvard's T.H. Chan School of Public Health. Together, we discuss how their system has evolved to mirror parts of human hypothesis generation while also diverging in fascinating ways. We talk about its internal “tournaments” of ideas, its ability to be prompted to “think out of the box,” and whether it becomes too constrained by the need to align with every published “fact”. And we discuss how we still seem far away from a time when AI can not only answer our questions, but can ask new and exciting research questions itself.The Night Science Podcast is produced by the Night Science Institute – for more information on Night Science, visit night-science.org .

All Women, All Baseball: The WPBL Journey Begins Breaking Ground in Women's Baseball All Women, All Baseball: The WPBL Journey Begins spotlights catcher Denae Benites, a leader on the USA Baseball women's team who is chasing history with the new Women's Professional Baseball League (WPBL). Hosted by Lilah “Brickwall” Br4tcher and co-host Ashlynn Jolicouer, this all-women's baseball episode dives deep into the barriers, breakthroughs, and bold dreams shaping the sport. From her start playing Little League with the boys to making Team USA at just 17, Denae has always followed her love of baseball. She explains why she never gave in to pressure to play softball and shares a powerful reminder: “You wouldn't tell Serena Williams to go play table tennis. So why tell us girls that we have to go play softball?” The Rise of the Women's Professional Baseball League The WPBL marks a groundbreaking step forward for women in baseball, with more than 500 athletes from ten countries showing up for its first tryouts. Denae walks listeners through the multi-day event, the international talent she faced, and the excitement of creating a path for future generations. Her passion proves that this league is not just about games—it's about history, opportunity, and visibility. For Ashlynn and Lilah, who are both youth players chasing their own dreams, this conversation was more than an interview. It was a chance to hear what it takes to make the leap from high-level amateur play to professional women's baseball. Catcher's Wisdom and Baseball Dreams As a catcher, Denae stresses the importance of mobility, quickness, and athleticism. She shares her routines, training on hills with weighted vests, and why catchers can't be underestimated. She also reveals her favorite baseball traditions—from pop times to her lucky Bruce Bolt sleeve. Fans also get a glimpse into lighter moments, including cereal debates, dream stadiums, and walkout songs. For the record, Denae's pro walkout choice would be “La Chona”, while her USA hype song is “La Mama De La Mama” by L-Alpha. Inspiring the Next Generation This episode is filled with motivation for young players chasing their own path. Denae reminds listeners to train hard, take care of their bodies, and stay focused on development both on and off the field. Most importantly, she emphasizes that having fun and believing in yourself will take you further than doubters ever could.

Consensus feels safe — but in business, it's often the very thing holding you back from growth. In this episode of The Game Changing Attorney Podcast, Michael and Jessica Mogill unpack the hidden costs of consensus-driven decision-making. From firms with five partners debating every choice to small teams waiting on unanimous buy-in, they reveal why trying to please everyone creates delays, missed opportunities, and stalled growth. If you've ever walked out of a meeting wondering why it took two hours to argue over a single decision, this conversation will change how you lead. Here's what you'll learn: Why speed beats consensus — and why imperfect decisions made quickly can fuel faster growth How to assign decision rights by expertise so your team stops spinning in circles What it takes to embrace “disagree and commit” so your firm moves forward even without unanimous agreement If you're tired of decision gridlock, this episode will show you how to lead with clarity, speed, and conviction. ---- 02:20 – Why many attorneys know more about their favorite sports team than their own firm's numbers 04:15 – The importance of wearing your own “jersey” and taking pride in your brand 14:10 – Why consensus among five partners is the slowest way to make decisions 15:50 – Not every partner should have an equal vote — expertise matters 16:25 – Speed beats consensus: why fast imperfect decisions win 17:35 – The power of “disagree and commit” in high-performing firms 18:05 – Treating failure as data, not identity 20:00 – Why you can't always wait for buy-in before leading change ---- Links & Resources: Brazil Nut Georgia Power Comcast AT&T ---- Do you love this podcast and want to see more game changing content?

Uncertainty has become the defining condition of our time, yet most of us still struggle to find our footing in it. What if you could reframe change itself as a source of strength? Today on Finding Brave, we're joined by global change advisor, futurist, and author April Rinne to uncover how to cultivate a “flux mindset” and discover the hidden opportunities within constant change. April, a World Economic Forum Young Global Leader and one of Forbes' 50 Leading Female Futurists, is a trusted advisor to organizations from Airbnb and Nike to the World Bank. She is the author of Flux: 8 Superpowers for Thriving in Constant Change, a book that helps readers reimagine leadership, success, and well-being through eight powerful practices. Grounded in her global career and shaped by personal tragedy, April's work invites us to step into uncertainty with greater courage, compassion, and clarity. In this conversation, April reflects on her own journey with flux, beginning with the sudden loss of her parents at age 20 and the lessons she learned from rebuilding a life turned upside down. She explains how journaling, curiosity, and cultural wisdom shaped her approach, and why letting go of what no longer serves us can open space for growth and freedom. Far from being quick fixes, the “flux superpowers” are daily practices that help us navigate both personal and professional uncertainty. April also offers insight into what it really means to be a futurist: blending research with lived experience and intuition to recognize patterns and possibilities. She invites us to see change not as something to fear but as the opportunity of a lifetime to evolve how we live and lead. If you're ready to shift your relationship with uncertainty and explore new ways to design your future, this episode will leave you both grounded and inspired!   Key Highlights From This Episode: Introduction to April Rinne and the concept of a flux mindset. [02:07] Why Flux was not a pandemic book, but became even more relevant during it. [05:47] The personal tragedy that shaped April's lifelong relationship with change. [09:04] Learning from global cultures and wisdom traditions about navigating uncertainty. [10:29] The eight “flux superpowers” as daily practices, not quick fixes. [17:13] Building a portfolio career as an alternative to the career ladder. [25:45] The role of curiosity, journaling, and self-reflection in adapting to flux. [26:53] What it really means to be a futurist: blending research, intuition, and pattern recognition. [32:59] Seeing change as the opportunity of a lifetime to reshape how we live and lead.

In today's episode, Chad Rosen, Founder and CEO of Victory Hemp Foods, shared how his company is revolutionizing agriculture and nutrition while supporting farmers and sustainable practices.Chad started Victory Hemp Foods in 2014, inspired by the legalization of industrial hemp and its potential to solve critical problems in the food industry. “Farmers needed a manufacturer who could bring their products to market,” Chad explained. His company processes hemp seeds to create nutrient-dense ingredients like protein powder and oil that are used by global food brands in everything from protein bars to beverages.The secret to Victory Hemp Foods' success lies in its patented process. “We separate the oil and protein into two fractions,” Chad said. This innovation produces a clean, lightly flavored protein powder rich in essential amino acids and a heart-healthy oil with the ideal omega-6 to omega-3 ratio. By valorizing all parts of the hemp seed, including turning the hulls into sweeteners, Victory Hemp Foods creates a sustainable, profitable model that benefits farmers and consumers alike.Hemp's environmental benefits are equally compelling. It promotes biodiversity, breaks pest and weed cycles, and can grow with less water compared to many other crops. Chad emphasized its potential: “Hemp can be a 20-million-acre crop,” he said, noting its ability to transform both farming and food production.Victory Hemp Foods is scaling its operations to meet growing demand. The company is currently raising capital through a regulated crowdfunding campaign on WeFunder, allowing community members to invest in its mission. “This is a vote of confidence,” Chad said, encouraging supporters to back regenerative agriculture and healthy food systems.Hemp is more than a niche ingredient; it's a key to a healthier, more sustainable future. Victory Hemp Foods is leading the way—and you can be part of it.tl;dr:Chad Rosen shared how Victory Hemp Foods creates sustainable, nutrient-dense products from North American hemp.The company's patented process transforms hemp seeds into protein powder, oil, and sweeteners.Hemp farming supports biodiversity, reduces environmental impact, and offers economic opportunities for farmers.Victory Hemp Foods is raising capital on WeFunder, inviting community investment in its mission.Chad emphasized his superpower, grit, as the key to overcoming challenges and driving innovation.How to Develop Grit As a SuperpowerChad identified his superpower as grit—the ability to persevere through challenges without giving up. “The ability to look at a letdown and turn it around…keeps you grinding,” he explained. Over more than a decade, Chad's persistence has allowed him to overcome obstacles, adapt to setbacks, and lead Victory Hemp Foods to success. He emphasized that grit is essential for entrepreneurs navigating uncertain paths.Illustrative Story:Three years ago, Chad faced a major setback when a potential investor backed out after six months of due diligence, citing concerns about the company's technology. This left Victory Hemp Foods without funding or a clear path forward. Instead of giving up, Chad and his team reimagined their process, developing a more efficient and profitable solution. The unexpected challenge forced them to create a breakthrough that became the foundation of their current success.Tips for Developing Grit:View setbacks as opportunities to learn and grow.Believe that every disappointment is a blessing in disguise.Stay focused on solving problems instead of dwelling on challenges.Surround yourself with a team of talented, supportive individuals.By following Chad's example and advice, you can make grit 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 ProfileChad Rosen (he/him):Founder & CEO, Victory Hemp FoodsAbout Victory Hemp Foods: At Victory Hemp Foods, we cold press North Americas freshest hemp hearts into nutritionally dense protein and oil. Our ingredients are in use by the worlds top food brands that are making anything from nutrition bars to protein rich beverages for their customers who read the ingredient label, the nutritional panel, and ask questions about how ingredients are sourced.Website: victoryhempfoods.comInstagram Handle: @victoryhempfoodsOther URL: wefunder.com/victory.hemp.foods/joinBiographical Information: Since 2014, Chad has led the growth of Victory Hemp Foods as founder and CEO.

A graduate of the Village Capital Agricultural Accelerator his network in the food system is far reaching at high levels in the private and public sectors. The White House invited Chad to represent Kentucky and Victory Hemp Foods at the Global Entrepreneurship Summit in Palo Alto, where he met with POTUS's Entrepreneurial Ambassadors and 700 other entrepreneurs from 170 countries to work on solving for some of the world most pressing issues here at home and abroad, including food security.

Every month, I sit down with my friend and collaborator, Jen Risley, editor of Main Street Journal, for a live conversation about what's working—and what's next—in local investing and impact crowdfunding. These sessions keep me humble and energized. There's simply more high-impact work happening than any one newsletter can cover, even when we publish more than once a day, and I'm grateful Jen brings her readers into this ongoing, practical conversation about building community wealth.This month's livestream circled three powerful themes:* How one statewide “buy local” champion became a policy and procurement force* Why small wind—done right—could be a missing piece in local clean-energy finance* What rural communities keep teaching us about ownership, scale, and “fair exchange” between local economiesBelow I've stitched together the ideas in the most useful order I know: start with place, organize around ownership, and finance work that has a credible path to cash flow and measurable community benefit.Scaling Local: The Kimber Lanning/Local First Arizona PlaybookIf you want a concrete picture of what “going local” looks like at scale, study Local First Arizona and its leader, Kimber Lanning. In our discussion, I highlighted the organization's growth to 65 staff and 2,500 paying members, and the way that capacity translates into actual power: influencing city procurement, training and mentoring entrepreneurs, and generally changing the rules of the game for locally owned businesses. That's not a marketing campaign—that's economic development.From an investor's standpoint, the lesson is straightforward: ecosystem capacity multiplies enterprise capacity. When cities rethink procurement, local firms land contracts. When founders get hands-on mentoring and peer accountability, they grow steadier revenue and become stronger candidates for Reg CF and community note offerings. This is the flywheel we want: policy → pipeline → performance.A second takeaway is strategic humility. Not every community can—or should—copy and paste Arizona's structure. Jen noted that the old “build a nonprofit business alliance” model was financially unsustainable in her small New Hampshire region, even though it succeeded in places like Phoenix. The right structure is local by definition. The goal is to right-size the vehicle so it can actually deliver value where you live.Action moves for builders and funders:* Map the procurement levers you can move in the next 12 months (city, county, anchor institutions).* Stand up a founder services sprint (8–12 weeks) that teaches 5–10 local firms exactly how to win those contracts.* Pre-vet 2–3 entrepreneurs from that sprint for a Reg CF raise; pair with a local “buy from” campaign timed to their working-capital needs.Small Wind, Big Idea: Cluster Effects & Localized Clean EnergyJen brought a fresh perspective from my recent conversation with Dr. Daniel Farb of Flower Turbines. The concept that grabbed both of us: smaller wind turbines can improve each other's performance when thoughtfully clustered—a “1+1>2” effect we don't see with utility-scale wind. That's a meaningful design distinction with financing implications.Why does this matter? Because distributed wind complements rooftop solar in the two places where solar is weakest: at night and on cloudy days. That can reduce storage requirements—still costly and, in many chemistries, environmentally fraught. If we can meet more load in real time with a mixed portfolio (solar + small wind), we make community microgrids both cleaner and cheaper.I also love the place-based finance angle. Flower Turbines' current posture prioritizes local projects; if momentum builds, I expect a pattern we've seen with solar developers: batching geographically defined projects and raising for the bundle—streamlining diligence while preserving neighborhood-level benefits. That's an ideal use case for impact notes and project-level Reg CF offerings with transparent revenue models (PPAs, leases, host-site savings shares).Rural Reality Check: The Tupelo Model, Ownership, and Fair ExchangeJen noted that her most-engaged post since we last met focused on rural communities going local—drawing on Michael Shuman's reminder from the Tupelo model that without local ownership, “economic development” is often just transfer pricing on a map. If a town wins by luring a company from a neighbor, the region doesn't grow; it just rearranges. Ownership, not attraction, is the engine.This is where “impact crowdfunding” shines: it converts resident savings into resident equity and debt, keeping profits and control close to the people who live with the outcomes. Jen's point lands because we still see candidates insisting the path forward is subsidizing outside firms to relocate—a habit that costs money and often steals jobs from another community rather than creating new value. There is another way.We also revisited a beautiful nuance from the days of BALLE (Business Alliance for Local Living Economies): “fair exchange between local economies.” Being pro-local isn't isolationism. It's a commitment to buy locally first, then buy from another community's local businesses when yours doesn't produce the thing you need. That ethic builds inter-local solidarity instead of a zero-sum nationalism. It's an attitude I'd love to see embedded in every regional procurement policy.What We're Building Together: Access + VIP DepthA quick update on SuperCrowd25: yes, there were a couple small glitches, but the event delivered—eighteen hours of programming, every minute available free on the Superpowers for Good site. It's embedded in a YouTube player, so you can speed it up, skip ahead, and go straight to highlights like Michael Shuman's talk or Jen's session. We're also cutting individual clips and—because the SuperCrowdLA recap was a hit—planning a SuperCrowd25 book.On the membership front, our operating philosophy is simple: publish most content free, then offer VIP depth that pays for the mission. We're averaging 8–9 posts a week, with just one reserved for paying Impact Members. Our monthly webinars are open, and the VIP After-Call—including backstage Q&A with speakers at SuperCrowd25—offers that small-group, one-on-one access many of you value. Non-members can drop in for $25 when something catches your eye. That combo keeps the tent big and the lights on.And because Main Street Journal is one of the most thoughtful voices in our space, I encouraged listeners to become paying subscribers there, too. Much of Jen's most valuable work sits behind her paywall—for good reason. If you care about strengthening your town's economic resilience, it's worth it.How These Threads Weave Together (and Why They Matter to Investors)From where I sit, the three themes of this conversation converge on the same thesis:* Local First Arizona shows how ecosystem capacity (policy + procurement + services) turns into investable, revenue-generating opportunities for founders who live where their customers live.* Flower Turbines demonstrates that design choices (clustered small wind) can change the unit economics of clean energy at the site level—exactly where community investors can understand the business model and monitor outcomes.* The Tupelo model reminds us to finance ownership, not attraction. When residents own productive assets, we create compounding returns—financially and civically.That's impact crowdfunding's sweet spot. We're not speculating on abstractions; we're backing understandable enterprises whose success visibly benefits our place. We ask founders to disclose risks and realities. We accept the discipline of regulated raises. We insist on alignment between mission, model, and metrics.Keep the Conversation GoingYou can watch every minute of SuperCrowd25's programming for free, right now, and go straight to the segments that matter most to your work. We'll keep pulling clips and assembling a book-length recap to make the content easier to use. And we'll keep the tent wide—free content for all, depth for those who want VIP access.If you value this conversation, support both communities: become a paying Impact Member here and a Main Street Journal subscriber there. That's how we keep telling the stories that move capital, change policy, and grow ownership—on Main Street, where the impact shows up.P.S. What did this month's conversation spark for you? Reply with a note about a procurement shift you're chasing, a clean-energy site you're sketching, or a rural “shared services” idea you want to test. We'll fold the best examples into upcoming posts—and, with your permission, into the SuperCrowd25 recap project we're assembling now.

In this episode, Joe Sanok speaks with neuroscientist Dr. Tali Sharot about the fascinating science of the optimism bias—our brain's natural tendency to expect the future to be better than the present. Together, they explore how optimism can motivate us, improve health, and build resilience, while also considering its downsides, like underestimating risks. Dr. Sharot shares how optimism can be developed over time, even by those who lean pessimistic, and offers practical advice for private practitioners on using emotions effectively in the therapy room.

In this episode of Partnering Leadership, Mahan Tavakoli speaks with Justin Evans, a seasoned executive and author of The Little Book of Data. With a career spanning leadership roles at major media and tech firms including Microsoft, NBCUniversal, and Paramount, Evans brings a rare combination of commercial acumen and data fluency to the conversation. His insights offer a refreshing—and deeply practical—framework for how senior leaders should think about data, not as a technical layer, but as a strategic lens.Far too often, CEOs and boards delegate “data” to specialists, only to find themselves disconnected from the systems shaping growth, innovation, and increasingly, AI-driven decision-making. Evans challenges that mindset. He argues that data is now a core leadership discipline—and avoiding it is no longer an option. But here's the twist: embracing data doesn't require becoming a data scientist. It requires leading with the right posture, questions, and level of clarity.Throughout the conversation, Evans offers real-world stories, from nonprofits reducing senior loneliness using conversational analytics, to multinationals unlocking hidden growth by surfacing unused operational data. What sets his thinking apart is not just the depth of his data expertise, but how convincingly he ties it back to purpose, impact, and leadership judgment.This is not a technical conversation. It's a strategic one. And for leaders wondering how to navigate a world increasingly shaped by algorithms, dashboards, and machine learning, this episode is both a wake-up call and a guidepost. If you've ever felt a step behind in the data conversation—or feared being sidelined in the age of AI—this dialogue will help you reframe and reengage with confidence.Actionable Takeaways:Hear how Justin Evans reframes data as a leadership language, not a technical specialty—and what that means for the C-suiteYou'll learn why humility and confidence are the twin mindsets leaders need to lead well in a data-driven worldHear how to spot the untapped 8% of growth potential that may be hiding in your organization's existing dataDiscover how great leaders crystallize complexity—and why that's the superpower that separates insight from noiseYou'll learn what to do when you feel out of your depth in technical conversations—and why that moment can be your greatest advantageHear why delegating understanding can quietly erode strategic control—and how to reclaim it without micromanagingLearn the real reason some executives quietly bounce off data-driven initiatives—and what to do to avoid itGain a framework for using data as a force multiplier for purpose and innovation, not just reportingHear how AI is beginning to create its own data streams—and what leaders must do to ensure alignment with mission and impactDiscover the kinds of questions leaders should be asking of their data teams—and why asking better questions is more important than knowing the answersConnect with Justin EvansJustin Evans LinkedIn The Little Book of Data: Understanding the Powerful Analytics that Fuel AI, Make or Break Careers, and Could Just End Up Saving the WorldConnect with Mahan Tavakoli: Mahan Tavakoli Website Mahan Tavakoli on LinkedIn Partnering Leadership Website

In this episode of Daily Creative, we dive deep into the concept of doubt as a catalyst for creativity, innovation, and effective leadership. We explore a real-world story where doubt reshaped a project and led to a superior outcome, challenging our culture's bias toward certainty and snap answers. Our guest, Dr. Bobby Parmar, author of Radical Doubt and professor at the University of Virginia's Darden School of Business, unpacks the neuroscience and psychology behind how we process uncertainty—and why embracing doubt can be a superpower for leaders, entrepreneurs, and creators navigating complexity.Together, we examine why most of us conflate intelligence with having the “right” answer, how our brains use doubt to signal that there's more to learn, and why organizations need to shift from rewarding certainty to cultivating a culture of inquiry. Dr. Parmar breaks down the brain's “trio” of systems—pursue, protect, and pause/piece together—and shows how effective decision-making requires moving beyond tunnel vision and quick fixes.We also discuss practical tools for reframing doubt, including leveraging four essential “lenses” (principles, consequences, character, and relationships) when making decisions. Through tangible examples and research insight, we reveal how the most creative and resilient outcomes often emerge when we pause, invite challenging perspectives, and courageously sit with uncertainty.Key Learnings from This Episode:Doubt as a Doorway: Doubt isn't a weakness to hide—it's a signal that more learning and better answers are possible. When handled well, doubt expands possibilities instead of narrowing them.The Brain's Trio: Our brains switch between pursue (seeking reward), protect (avoiding risk), and pause/piece together (slowing down to learn) systems. Engaging the “pause” system is critical for creativity and wise choices.Four Moral Lenses: Effective decision-making requires balancing principles, consequences, character, and relationships—especially in complex or ambiguous situations. Relying on just one lens can create blind spots.Short-term vs. Long-term Thinking: Focusing only on immediate certainty often undermines long-term value and opportunity. Doubt helps us reframe decisions within a broader context, allowing for patience and creativity.Culture of Inquiry: The best leaders foster environments where questioning assumptions is safe and expected. Encouraging dialogue around uncertainty leads to stronger teams and more innovative solutions.Get full interviews and bonus content for free!
