What happens when conscious consumerism, sustainability, and authenticity redefine success in modern business?In this thought-provoking episode of Mindset Mastery Moments, Dr. Alisa Whyte sits down with Kate Assaraf, CEO and Co-Founder of Dip Haircare, to explore how buying less, choosing better, and building purpose-driven brands can create real impact — for consumers, businesses, and the planet.Kate shares her journey of disrupting the beauty industry by challenging wasteful norms and creating Dip, a sustainable haircare brand rooted in quality, transparency, and genuine connection with customers. She opens up about the frustrations that led her to rethink how beauty products are marketed and consumed, and why empathy and community must replace fast, impersonal marketing tactics.This conversation goes beyond product sustainability and dives into conscious entrepreneurship — exploring how authenticity, values alignment, and curiosity about our consumption habits can drive long-term success.From refill store movements to redefining productivity and opportunity, Kate offers practical insights for founders and consumers ready to make meaningful changes without sacrificing quality or profitability.This episode is a must-listen for entrepreneurs, beauty industry professionals, conscious consumers, and anyone interested in building a business — or lifestyle — that aligns impact with integrity. 

Physician, healthcare entrepreneur, and founder Dr. Vivek Aranki joins me to unpack why most real success is built through failure—and why the willingness to iterate beats chasing innovation for its own sake.Most business conversations treat failure as something to avoid, minimize, or hide. This episode reframes it as a required feedback loop. Vivek and I explore how meaningful progress—especially in regulated, high-stakes industries—comes from repeated trial, error, and disciplined correction.Vivek shares his transition from practicing physician to building one of Australia's largest non-corporate cosmetic medicine groups, now spanning 20 clinics nationwide and expanding through franchising. We examine how affordability, quality, and safety are often positioned as trade-offs—and how those assumptions break down when systems are designed intentionally.The conversation moves into franchising ethics, brand trust, and why extraction-based models collapse over time. Vivek explains why their organization prioritizes long-term brand credibility over franchise fees, why lead generation must sit centrally in regulated industries, and how franchising only works when incentives are aligned.From there, we widen the lens to healthcare economics, preventative care, food systems, regulation, and why “move fast and break things” is a catastrophic mindset when human health is involved. We contrast tech's tolerance for failure with healthcare's need for boring, proven reliability—and why lagging the cutting edge can actually be the strategic advantage.This isn't a conversation about avoiding risk.It's about understanding where risk belongs—and where it doesn't.TL;DR* Failure is a necessary feedback loop, not a personal flaw* Businesses fail when they copy instead of creating real value* In healthcare, innovation without evidence is dangerous—not disruptive* Franchising only works when value flows to franchisees, not out of them* “Boring” systems outperform cutting-edge ones in regulated environments* Affordability, safety, and quality can coexist with disciplined execution* Healthcare costs are driven by bureaucracy more than care delivery* Preventative care has the highest value-to-cost leverage—but the weakest incentives* Sustainable systems must be able to self-correct over timeMemorable Lines* “Failure isn't a setback—it's a feedback loop.”* “Boring is good when people's health is on the line.”* “If innovation lacks evidence, it's not innovation—it's experimentation.”* “You can't ‘move fast and break things' when the thing is a human being.”* “Long-term value dies the moment extraction becomes the strategy.”GuestDr. Vivek Aranki — Physician, healthcare entrepreneur, and founderFounder of a national cosmetic medicine group with 20 clinics across Australia, specializing in scalable, safety-first healthcare delivery and ethical franchising within highly regulated environments.Why This MattersModern business culture glorifies disruption without consequence.But in real systems—healthcare, regulation, food, human safety—failure has a cost. Understanding where experimentation belongs and where discipline must prevail is a leadership skill few master.For founders, operators, and executives navigating regulated industries or complex systems, this episode offers a sober counterweight to startup mythology: progress comes from feedback, restraint, and building structures that correct themselves before damage compounds.Success isn't about avoiding failure.It's about learning faster—without breaking what matters.

Dave tries to figure out what Zen meant when they said inanimate objects talk to us, and how to stay sustainably weird in a society that (for some reason) expects us to be reasonable productive members of it. What level of function do we owe our friends and families, and what does it cost us to play along? What kind of wonder do we lose in an age of reason, and is it possible to live in a world of rational magic? We talk to plants, but can you empathize with a tree, argue with a vacuum, talk to a computer?? Find out here!

Capitalism is in the spotlight again! In this follow up to Part 1 of Climate Brewing: On the Road to a Sustainable Capitalism, host Susan Oxley continues her conversation with Bill McClain, exploring how capitalism might evolve into a more just and sustainable system. Through discussions of the “triple bottom line,” stakeholder capitalism, waste and circular economies, and the limits of short-term profit thinking, Bill argues that what we measure in business truly shapes what we value. Together, they consider how individuals, companies, and democratic systems can help reimagine capitalism so that it serves not just shareholders, but people, communities, and the planet.  Listen to more episodes in the Climate Brewing series. Download the Transcript. Thanks for listening to Faith Unfiltered!Follow us on Facebook and Instagram!Intro and Outro music used with permission: “For Everyone Born,” Community of Christ Sings #285.

In this wide-ranging conversation, Sarah Jeanneault shares her unconventional journey from struggling with math in school to becoming a respected leader in fintech, trading education, and enterprise knowledge management. She and Dwayne Kerrigan explore the deep gaps in financial literacy, why traditional education often fails to prepare people for real-world decision-making, and how learning truly begins after formal schooling ends.Sarah explains how she applied adult learning theory to teach herself trading, why psychology matters more than numbers in the markets, and how curiosity, pattern recognition, and humility shaped her success. The discussion expands into the future of education, AI's role in learning, entrepreneurship, identity shifts after business exits, and the emotional reality of leadership transitions. This episode is a thoughtful examination of growth, risk, and why continuous learning is the most valuable skill anyone can develop.Episode Highlights:00:00 – Sarah opens by naming the gap in real-world financial literacy.02:00 – Dwayne introduces Sarah and frames the episode around learning and reinvention.05:00 – Sarah shares struggling with math and early assumptions about intelligence.09:00 – Losing her best friend and questioning the direction of her life.14:00 – Discovering trading and applying adult learning theory to self-education.18:00 – Why financial literacy is rarely taught despite its life-long impact.23:00 – Breaking down trading basics and removing unnecessary complexity.28:00 – Psychology, emotion, and why ego derails good financial decisions.33:00 – Risk, uncertainty, and learning to sit with discomfort.38:00 – Podcasts, curiosity, and self-directed learning as modern education.44:00 – Continuous learning as the foundation of entrepreneurship and leadership.49:00 – Gamifying learning to build confidence and consistency over time.54:00 – Building community through transparency and shared learning.59:00 – Scaling education-driven businesses and teaching at scale.64:00 – Identity shifts after acquisitions and redefining success.69:00 – Leadership, disagreement, and creating psychologically safe teams.74:00 – AI, critical thinking, and the future of learning.79:00 – Personal growth, reinvention, and staying curious long-term.84:00 – Reflections on learning, humility, and what truly creates confidence.88:00 – Closing thoughts, gratitude, and setting up Part 2.Key Takeaways:Financial literacy is rarely taught, yet deeply shapes life decisions.Learning accelerates when curiosity replaces fear of being “bad at math.”Real education often begins after formal schooling ends.Trading and business are driven as much by psychology as by data.Growth comes from pattern recognition, experimentation, and reflection.Entrepreneurship requires comfort with uncertainty and identity shifts.AI will amplify learning — but only if critical thinking is prioritized.Strong leaders create environments where disagreement is encouraged.Sustainable success comes from continuous learning and reinvention.Resources...

A vast amount of our built environment is made of concrete. It’s largely affordable, durable and easy to make. It’s also responsible, by some estimates, for roughly 8% of global CO2 emissions.   But the U.S. is also facing a significant housing demand shortage, and since concrete is one of the primary building materials for houses and apartments, scientists are working to make it more sustainable to produce.   Late last year, a research lab at Oregon State University made a breakthrough when they created a more environmentally friendly concrete derived from soil instead of cement. Besides emitting less CO2 during production, it’s strong, dries fast and it can be 3D printed more rapidly.   Devin Roach is an assistant professor of manufacturing and mechanical engineering at OSU. He joins us to share more about how the concrete was made, why it’s useful and the possibilities for commercial use.

What if burnout, inflammation, and "doing everything right" but still feeling awful isn't a failure—just a missing map? In this episode of Unconventional Life, host Jules Schroeder sits down with functional medicine expert, genetic strategist, and stand-up comic Dr. Sam Shay. Together, they unpack why health optimization breaks down during major life transitions, how functional medicine bridges data and lived experience, and why inflammation, genetics, and nervous system load are often the real root issues. This episode is for anyone navigating midlife transitions, chronic symptoms, or energy crashes—and it matters because without a roadmap, even the best tools won't get you where you're trying to go.

In this episode of To The Root, Robyn Spangler speaks with Clear Skin Lab client Alexi about her long-term struggle with cystic acne and the turning point that led her away from conventional dermatology and toward a functional, root-cause approach.After years of cycling through antibiotics, Accutane, spironolactone, and topical treatments, Alexi reached a point where treating symptoms no longer felt sufficient. She shares how comprehensive testing—including GI mapping, mineral analysis, hormonal assessment, and blood work—revealed underlying infections, nutrient absorption issues, and stress-related patterns that traditional care had overlooked.Alexi also reflects on the emotional and psychological impacts of living with visible skin conditions, the pressure of navigating public perception on social media, and the experience of setbacks during the healing process. Rather than framing healing as a quick or linear journey, she emphasizes the importance of education, long-term lifestyle shifts, and compassionate self-awareness.This conversation provides a thoughtful exploration of what it means to heal from the inside out—and why sustainable skin health requires both biological insight and behavioral change.Tune in now!Highlights:Alexi's early experiences with cystic acne and conventional treatmentsLimitations of pharmaceutical approaches for long-term outcomesThe role of root-cause testing in uncovering gut, hormonal, and nutrient imbalancesHow stress, lifestyle, and mineral depletion influence skin physiologyThe impact of diet, supplementation, and personalized protocols on whole-body healthNormalizing non-linear progress and relapse during the healing journeyReframing self-worth beyond physical appearanceThe emotional toll of public feedback and unsolicited adviceWhy sustainable results require lifestyle alignment over quick fixesEncouragement for individuals pursuing a holistic or functional pathConnect with Robyn:Instagram: @nutritionbyrobyn Website: https://www.theclearskinlab.com

When the world feels dense—not just “I'm stressed,” but that heavy, invisible pressure that builds in your body—leadership gets real, fast. Especially if your work lives in urgency: domestic violence advocacy, shelters, case management, child and family services, special education, autism support, and nonprofit leadership. In this episode, I'm naming what so many big-hearted, mission-driven leaders are carrying…and offering a conscious leadership lens that helps you lay the burden down without abandoning your people. In this episode, you'll learn: How to tell the difference between responsibility and burden (and why confusing the two fuels burnout) Why the “savior reflex” is so common in crisis work—and how it quietly hijacks your boundaries A simple way to come back to clarity when urgency, guilt, and hypervigilance start running the show In crisis environments, regulation isn't about bliss—it's about signal. I'm inviting you to aim for feeling 10% better, not perfect. Timestamps01:39 — Beyond “just do box breathing”: the conscious leadership lens02:30 — The identity contract: “If I don't do it, who will?”03:24 — The distinction that changes everything: responsibility vs. burden04:53 — Why crisis work trains hypervigilance (and how it impacts boundaries)06:24 — The unique layer in autism support: sensory load, advocacy, decision fatigue08:09 — Regulate: not calm, clear09:47 — The burden question (and the second question that completes it)11:20 — One clean move: boundary, decision, delegation, or repair15:19 — Repairing after you said yes when you meant no16:41 — Resetting agreements as you grow18:08 — The hidden cost of carrying the burden: reactivity, resentment, messy decisions19:15 — Closing: the “Lay It Down” micro-ritual Key takeaways Responsibility is what's yours to respond to. Burden is what you've absorbed that was never yours to carry. Caring doesn't have to mean carrying. Conscious leadership is caring with clarity. Guilt isn't always a moral signal—sometimes it's a withdrawal symptom from overgiving. Boundaries aren't a wall against love. They're a container for love. Sustainable leadership isn't a luxury. It's ethics. A question to sit withWhat am I carrying right now that isn't mine? Love the show?If this episode resonated, share it with a leader in a crisis-facing role who carries too much and calls it dedication. Consider leaving a review at www.lovethepodcast.com/brilliance.

Heart Health Month opens with a powerful, eye-opening conversation on cholesterol, root-cause healing, and whole-person wellness. Dr. Georgia Nabs explore why cholesterol is so misunderstood, the real story behind statins, and how inflammation, blood sugar, liver health, and lifestyle choices all intersect to shape heart health. From functional testing and advanced diagnostics to simple, practical daily shifts, this episode reframes what it truly means to care for your heart. Blending science, compassion, and lived experience, the conversation invites listeners to move beyond fear-based medicine and into empowered, informed, and proactive wellness—where education becomes the foundation for lasting health and vitality.  Key Takeaways:   True heart health begins by understanding root causes, not just managing symptoms or lab numbers.  Cholesterol is more complex than "good" and "bad," and context matters more than fear-based assumptions.  Inflammation, blood sugar balance, and liver health play a central role in cardiovascular wellness.  Empowered patients ask better questions and become active participants in their healing journey.  Sustainable wellness comes from education, consistency, and small daily choices that compound over time.  About Dr. Georgia Nab:  Dr. Georgia Nab entered the chiropractic industry in 1992 by owning a chiropractic clinic in Wichita, Kansas.

Would you like access to our advanced agency training for FREE? https://www.agencymastery360.com/training Do you feel you're giving everything to your agency and only getting exhaustion as a result? Agencies grow best when they're built around clarity, empathy, and self-awareness. Whether it's pricing, boundaries, team management, or AI, the common thread is intention. Today's featured guest understands that you don't need to hustle harder. You need to design smarter, around who you are, how you work best, and what kind of business you actually want to run. She'll share her perspective on agency growth, self-awareness, leadership, and how AI should actually be used inside a modern agency and provide a real look at what it takes to build an agency that's profitable, human, and sustainable without losing yourself in the process. Ingrid Schneider is the CEO and founder of Stay in Your Lane, a fractional CMO and franchise development agency, and Train in Your Lane, an AI education company helping teams build real AI intuition. What started as fractional work after being laid off during the pandemic has grown into a 16-person team running full marketing departments, launching brands, building LMS platforms, and training companies like Ben & Jerry's and Ace Hardware on how to actually use AI to solve problems. In this episode, we'll discuss: Going from survival mode to self-worth: pricing and confidence. How to set boundaries and protect your brain. Design an agency that energizes you, not drains you. Managing people, not just performance with a human-first approach.

Ready to design faster and smarter? Go to wix.com/studio to get started. Building an Agency on Trust and Integrity Ingrid doesn't come from a tidy, linear career path. After being laid off as a CMO during the pandemic, she made the decision to not work for anyone else again. She started doing fractional CMO work to replace her salary, focusing on trust, authenticity, and doing the work well. What began as a solo operation three and a half years ago is now a full team serving a wide range of clients. Some rely on Ingrid's team to run their entire marketing department. Others bring them in for focused, fractional engagements. The growth didn't come from aggressive sales tactics—it came from being reliable, human, and honest about what they were good at. Learning Your Worth and Unlearning Survival Mode When Ingrid landed her first client, she charged $3,000 a month for two brands. And that client still complained about pricing. Like many agency owners, she was focused on replacing her salary, not building a business. Survival mode has a way of shrinking your sense of value. Learning her worth didn't come from a pricing spreadsheet. It came from personal work deconstructing old beliefs, recognizing her own capabilities, and understanding the impact she could have on others. Ingrid talks openly about how her upbringing and past experiences shaped her tendency to underprice herself and overextend. As her confidence grew, so did her standards. She began collecting people with grit, sometimes hiring for attitude over experience, and building a team she trusted deeply. The biggest lesson for her was: if you don't believe in your value, your pricing, and your agency, will reflect that. Preventing Agency Burnout: How to Set Boundaries Running a business can be incredibly stressful, which is why many owners can relate to being in fight or fly mode all the time. However, this is the worst thing for both your health and your business because chronic stress will affect your brain and get you to a point known as "flipping your lid." According to Ingrid, this term, which she learned from Dr. Daniel Siegel, describes what happens when stress pushes you into fight, flight, or freeze. Logic goes offline. Creativity disappears and everything feels harder. For agency owners, this shows up as exhaustion, impatience, and bad decisions, and healing will mean confronting the reality that you can't run a business well if your body and brain are in survival mode. In her case, Ingrid found healing by emphasizing boundaries as a leadership responsibility. Knowing where your value is best served, trusting your team, and recognizing when their lids are flipped allows you to lead with empathy instead of pressure. The agency doesn't need a burned-out hero. It needs a regulated, self-aware leader. Designing an Agency That Energizes You, Not Drains You This is a lesson that agency owners that currently feel miserable with their business and wanting to give up should learn. Drawing your boundaries will look different to everyone, but you can start by asking yourself what you want to do every day and what you never want to do again. Just draw a circle on a piece of paper and start writing. Inside: the work that gives you energy. Outside: everything that drains you. You'll see that most likely what you need is to redesign your agency around this. You can't be all things to all people. Agency that try usually end up miserable and unprofitable. Wins and losses both matter, but only if you're paying attention to what they're teaching you. Topline revenue means nothing if you hate how you're earning it. Sustainable growth comes from aligning what's good for the business with what actually fills your cup. That alignment is what keeps agencies alive long-term. Managing People, Not Just Performance with a Human-First Approach As an empath, Ingrid leads with a people-first approach rooted in Trust-Based Relational Intervention (TBRI). When something goes wrong, she looks at three things in order: herself, the system, and then the person. Are expectations clear? Do they have the resources they need? Is she showing up with patience? Perfectionism isn't the goal in her agency because perfection is stressful, unrealistic, and unnecessary. Instead, the focus is on doing really good work while protecting the team's mental energy. This is where AI comes in, not as a shortcut for thinking, but as a way to remove the minutia that burns people out. This has been the case for Ingrid, who enjoys managing people. If this is not your case, then focus on hiring people who can manage themselves. But remember you have to learn to let go if you want a self-managing team. There are countless ways to reach the same outcome and speed isn't always the metric that matters most. Sometimes the "slow" work produces the best results. Using AI to Empower Teams, Not Create More Noise Ingrid's approach focuses on education and the fact that everyone should be training their AI intuition to be able to understand how an AI tool works and how it could help them. She trained her own intuition by changing her social media algorithms to feed her AI micro-learnings. From there, it became about application: looking at every agency task and asking, Can AI help solve this better? Her team runs weekly "show and tell" sessions where they demo how they used AI to solve real problems. There's also an AI policy but it's framed as a permission slip, not a rulebook. Team members can experiment with tools on a company card, and if they prove value, the agency commits. The bigger point is this: if you're not empowering your team to use AI thoughtfully, you're holding them back. This isn't about pumping out more content—it's about freeing up human brains to do the work that actually matters. Do You Want to Transform Your Agency from a Liability to an Asset?

Most productivity advice assumes consistency is key—but what if your body tells a different story? In this enlightening episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Sayan sits down with Renae Fieck, a feminine leadership coach, mom of three, and author of Cycle Sync Your Business. Renae shares her transformational journey from burnout to balance, revealing how syncing work, creativity, and energy with the menstrual cycle can revolutionize the way women approach time management. Together, they unpack the misconceptions around “consistency,” explore the hormonal rhythms that shape women's productivity, and highlight how working with your body instead of against it creates flow, clarity, and sustainable success. About the Guest: Renae Fieck is a speaker, coach, and author specializing in helping women align their lives and businesses with their body's natural rhythms. Through her book Cycle Sync Your Business and coaching programs, she empowers women to ditch burnout, rediscover ease, and embrace feminine flow in leadership and life. Key Takeaways: True productivity comes from honoring your body's hormonal rhythm. Consistency looks different for women—it's cyclical, not linear. Stress and overexertion disrupt hormonal balance, leading to burnout. Asking “What does my body need today?” fosters mindfulness and balance.

Landfills across African cities are catching fire and releasing methane, an invisible greenhouse gas with more short-term warming potential than CO2. Sustainable strategist Mohamed A. Sultan reveals how local communities are turning this crisis into opportunity, diverting hundreds of tons of waste from landfills and helping thousands of farmers adopt more sustainable techniques. Learn why cutting methane emissions is a win-win opportunity to drive down global temperatures while also creating more livable cities.

In this episode of the Tactical Living Podcast, hosts Coach Ashlie Walton and Sergeant Clint Walton tackle a reality many first responders experience—but few admit: getting promoted doesn't automatically fix burnout. The rank goes up. The responsibility expands. The expectations multiply. And yet, the exhaustion, irritability, and sense of depletion remain—or even intensify. This episode explores why promotions often amplify burnout instead of relieving it, and what leaders can do to regain energy, purpose, and clarity without stepping away from service.

Is capitalism driving the climate crisis—or could it help save us? In this episode of Climate Brewing, host Susan Oxley talks with Bill McClain, University of Washington instructor, about why business may hold the greatest power for real climate action. Together, they challenge common assumptions about profit, corporate ownership, and the so-called “free market.” Bill introduces the idea of shifting from shareholder capitalism to stakeholder capitalism, where workers, communities, and even the planet itself are considered in economic decisions. The conversation explores how today's system rewards exploitation—and how it could be redesigned to create long-term value for people and creation. This is Part 1 of a two-part series imagining a bold new vision for a just and sustainable economy. Listen to more episodes in the Climate Brewing series. Download the Transcript. Thanks for listening to Faith Unfiltered!Follow us on Facebook and Instagram!Intro and Outro music used with permission: “For Everyone Born,” Community of Christ Sings #285.

In this episode, Steve Fretzin, Robert Armstrong, and Sandy Fisch discuss:Legal expertise without systems limits growthFocus outperforms expansion without infrastructureValue-based models outperform time-based billing in an AI-driven futureFuture-proof firms are systemized, collaborative, and diversified Key Takeaways:Most firms are built by technicians who understand legal work but not business operations. Sustainable firms require deliberate work on systems, strategy, and management.Deep specialization strengthens results, clarity, and scale. Expanding practice areas too early dilutes effectiveness and increases operational drag.Hourly billing weakens as automation accelerates legal work. Flat-fee pricing combined with strong human relationships aligns better with efficiency and client outcomes.Recurring revenue, acquisition-ready structures, and trusted peer communities reduce dependence on individuals. Long-term resilience comes from systems, relationships, and adaptive business models. "There's a difference between working on the business and working in the business." —  Sandy Fisch Check out my new show, Be That Lawyer Coaches Corner, and get the strategies I use with my clients to win more business and love your career again. Ready to go from good to GOAT in your legal marketing game?

They are joined by Brad Dockser, CEO and Co-Founder of GreenGen for an intriguing conversation focused on ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance), which itself sits at a really interesting crossroads in rental housing: Touching asset management, finance, operations, climate strategy, resident experience, and the future of real estate. There is a case to be made that ESG isn't a cost center for rental housing providers, it's a competitive advantage and a driver of value. Housing providers that integrate ESG into their operations can unlock new revenue opportunities, future-proof their assets and deliver better outcomes for residents and investors. For more information and resources on ESG, sustainability, asset management and NAA's Operations Committee, visit https://naahq.org/Please note that as is the case for all NAA Apartmentcast episodes, nothing contained within this podcast should be treated as legal advice.

To make good creative work, you'll inevitably do a lot of bad work along the way. So building a thriving creative practice relies on showing up and doing the work consistently, whether you feel inspired or not. And we can get trapped into thinking that if only we had the perfect space, or the best pen, or right notebook, it would all be easier. This is a preview of a premium episode. To listen to the full interview, visit: https://designbetterpodcast.com/p/austin-kleon But our guest today, Austin Kleon, has built a remarkable creative practice around a deceptively simple toolkit: index cards, newspapers, scissors, and glue. He's the bestselling author of Steal Like an Artist, Show Your Work, Keep Going, and Don't Call it Art. What makes Austin's approach so valuable is how he's translated these ideas into a sustainable daily practice that's lasted over a decade. In our conversation, Austin shares why he starts every day writing in his diary before he picks up the phone, how constraints (time, space and materials) actually unlock creativity rather than limiting it, and why the path to doing your best digital work might start with picking up a pen. If you've ever struggled to maintain a creative practice, felt overwhelmed by tools and options, or wondered how to keep going when the work feels hard, this episode is for you. Bio Austin Kleon is the New York Times bestselling author of a trilogy of illustrated books about creativity in the digital age: Steal Like An Artist, Show Your Work!, and Keep Going. He's also the author of Newspaper Blackout, a collection of poems made by redacting the newspaper with a permanent marker. His books have sold over two million copies and have been translated into over 30 languages. He's been featured on NPR's Morning Edition, PBS Newshour, and in The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal. New York Magazine called his work “brilliant,” The Atlantic called him “positively one of the most interesting people on the Internet,” and The New Yorker said his poems “resurrect the newspaper when everybody else is declaring it dead.” He speaks for organizations such as Pixar, Google, Netflix, SXSW, TEDx, Dropbox, Adobe, and The Economist. In previous lives, he worked as a librarian, a web designer, and an advertising copywriter. He lives in Austin, Texas, with his wife and sons. Visit him online at www.austinkleon.com

Do you ever feel like you're doing everything “right” with food, but still feel stuck in your body and unsure about your choices? Maybe you've tried to eat clean, count points, or follow the plan, only to feel even more confused or frustrated. In this episode, we open up about the deep impact of diet culture. From childhood restrictions to careers shaped by body expectations, we share how messages around body image, weight, and control shape our choices long before we realize it. This honest conversation explores the roots of disordered eating, the guilt of emotional eating, and the struggle to feel at home in a changing body. You'll hear how cultural pressures and family patterns can shape your choices around eating, increase food obsession, affect your sense of body autonomy, and lower your confidence in making decisions about food and movement. You'll learn how phrases like “clean eating” and “getting your body back” after pregnancy feed into the binge restrict cycle, reinforce weight stigma, and disrupt the ability to connect with your body's needs. If you've ever blamed yourself for a craving or tied your worth to your reflection, this is a safe space to pause and ask why. We share what helped us move toward intuitive eating and how shifting to an anti-diet approach allowed us to find real food freedom. Whether you're navigating life in a post-pregnancy body or just tired of chasing food rules, this episode will remind you that you can support your health without judgment or control. What you'll learn in this episode: How childhood messages around food can lead to lasting patterns What makes a relationship with food feel obsessive or disconnected Why body image pressure shows up differently across life stages How generational beliefs and culture shape your approach to eating What it looks like to shift toward body trust, compassion, and calm If your brain is always spinning about meals or your value feels linked to a number, you're not alone. There's a gentler path grounded in intuitive nutrition, body acceptance, and health at every size. It starts with curiosity, not criticism. Let's rebrand wellness together!

This episode was first aired on 29/01/2025How did the banking system evolve from a simple bench—the very origin of the word “bank”—into the sophisticated institutions that drive the global economy?Banks are more than just institutions. With over 4,000 years of history, they have played a pivotal role in powering industrial revolutions, transforming dreams into reality, and adapting to the evolving needs of clients across generations. From economic booms to busts, they have stood the test of time, channeling funding like the lifeblood of the economy and serving as critical cogs in the machinery of society. Banks have turned the alchemy of compound interest—Einstein's “8th wonder of the world”—into a driving force behind economic growth.In this episode of 2050 Investors, Kokou Agbo-Bloua dives into the essential role of banks and the foundations of the global banking system. Through his analysis, he explores the power of compound interest, the history of banking and the evolution of business models and regulatory frameworks. Highlighting their role as financial intermediaries, Kokou unpacks how they contribute to societal and economic progress through fractional reserve banking.Later in the episode, Kokou interviews Slawomir Krupa, as the bank marks its 160th anniversary. Slawomir reflects on how Societe Generale has remained true to its original mission of combining innovation with strength in its business model. He discusses the bank's focus on sustainability and responsibility, emphasizing its vital role in financing the economy, supporting transformational projects, and offering strategic advice to clients to drive these developments. He also shares insights on how climate change and AI are driving institutions to reinvent themselves.This episode is a compelling exploration of the past, present, and future of banking, offering fresh insights into how this age-old institution continues to influence our lives and economies.About this showWelcome to 2050 Investors, your monthly guide to understanding the intricate connections between finance, globalisation, and ESG. Join host Kokou Agbo-Bloua, Head of Economics, Cross-Asset & Quant Research at Societe Generale, for an exploration of the economic and market megatrends shaping the present and future, and how these trends might influence our progress to meeting 2050's challenging global sustainability targets. If you like 2050 Investors, please leave a five-star review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify.

A lot of manufacturing companies can build insanely complex and intricate things, but far fewer are set up to handle what happens once customers start buying. So, what happens when those products start selling at scale, contracts get longer, and customers get bigger?In this episode, we're joined by Chris Hale, CEO and Founder at Klear, to uncover a side of manufacturing that often gets overlooked: how money moves through industrial businesses.The conversation explores how money flows when deal cycles are long, customers are global, and planning starts to feel less like spreadsheets and more like a 3D chessboard. Trade finance sits underneath a lot of this activity, shaping how physical infrastructure gets built and how manufacturers grow.We also hear about Chris' experience touring in a band, and how this shaped the way he thinks about coordination, timing, and handoffs, ideas that show up repeatedly in how he approaches financial systems for manufacturers today.In this episode, find out:How Chris Hale moved from touring in a band to working in finance and building fintech tools for industrial companiesWhy trade finance underpins everything from shipping containers to large-scale infrastructure projectsWhat orchestration means in a manufacturing context, and why clean handoffs matterWhy managing money often becomes harder as companies grow and demand increasesHow global volatility, customer behaviour, and innovation shape financial decision-makingWhere financial visibility tends to break down inside fast-growing manufacturersWhy tying money directly to physical execution changes how companies scaleEnjoying the show? Please leave us a review here. Even one sentence helps. It's feedback from Manufacturing All-Stars like you that keeps us going!Tweetable Quotes:“Trade finance as an asset class is fascinating because it's how the world gets built through money. If you see a boat full of shipping containers, that boat is trade finance. If you see a data center being built, everything going into it is trade finance.”“The board keeps moving. You've got government customers, supply chain disruptions, strikes, geopolitics, and it becomes incredibly difficult to plan with confidence.”“Manufacturer are doing all this precision work, but when it comes to their money, they're doing dead reckoning. They're looking at the sun and guessing, and that's where things fall apart.”Links & mentions:Klear Inc., a payment and working capital infrastructure provider that's designed specifically for modern industrial companies. The platform helps manufacturers gain clearer visibility into cash flow, manage risk across long contracts, and better align financial operations with physical execution.

As therapists, most of us were never taught how to run a business—let alone how to manage money, payroll, hiring, or leadership in a way that's both ethical and sustainable.Licensed therapist and group practice owner Gordon Brewer and I talk openly about money mindset, generosity, boundaries, hiring mistakes, and what it really takes to create a financially sustainable group practice without burning yourself out or sacrificing quality of care.If you identify as a people-pleaser, an over-giver, or a “nice” leader who are quietly paying the price for unclear boundaries, this episode is for you.Gordon opens up about what didn't work when building his group practice, what had to change, and how learning to lead with clarity—rather than guilt—ultimately benefited both his team and his business.“Being kind means setting expectations and boundaries, so people know what to expect. Being nice often means avoiding those conversations—and that's where things fall apart.” — Gordon BrewerMistakes Made and Lessons Learned: Building a Sustainable Group PracticeGordon shares how over-giving with compensation, avoiding hard conversations, and underestimating the importance of clear financial systems led to stress and instability in his practice. Through hiring missteps, money mindset work, and implementing Profit First, he learned that sustainable leadership requires clarity, boundaries, and a willingness to course-correct.(00:04:16) Gordon's Journey to Owning a Group Practice and Hosting a Podcast(00:09:37) Sustainability Over Generosity: Lessons in Business(00:13:08) Navigating Money Stigma in Group Practice Ownership(00:17:51) Money Management and Hiring Lessons(00:20:05) How Boundaries and Values Shape Your Success with Finances(00:23:39) Parenting: Commands Disguised as Questions(00:27:03) Employee Benefits vs. Contracting(00:31:07) Planning for Financial Stability and Rebuilding a Sustainable Practice(00:36:43) How to Avoid Over-Giving in Your Private PracticeBuilding a Practice That's Generous and SustainableGordon's reflections highlight a truth I see again and again in my work with therapists: sustainability doesn't come from good intentions alone. It comes from aligning your values with clear business decisions, financial transparency, and leadership that supports everyone involved—including you.Key takeaways you can apply right now: Run the numbers before calling something “generous.”High splits, low fees, or extra perks aren't generous if they put your practice at risk. Sustainability is what allows generosity to continue.Being “nice” can quietly lead to burnout.Avoiding boundaries and hard conversations may feel compassionate in the moment, but it often creates resentment and instability over time.Kind leadership is clear leadership.Setting expectations upfront—and holding people to them—is one of the most respectful things you can do for your team.Money stories shape business decisions more than we realize.Beliefs about greed, selfishness, or worthiness often come from family or faith backgrounds and deserve to be examined—not blindly obeyed.It's never too late to course correct.Gordon's willingness to rebrand, rebuild systems, and restructure his business model created a healthier practice that better served everyone involved.If you're noticing patterns of over-giving, financial stress, or people-pleasing in your practice, I hope this episode helps you feel less alone—and more empowered to lead with clarity and confidence. Sustainable, ethical business decisions aren't a betrayal of your values. They're how you protect them.Ready to Improve your Business Money Skills?Are
