What if the most important leadership skill isn't knowing when to lead — it's knowing when to let go?In this episode of Experiencing Healthcare, Jamie sits down with Matt Staub, CEO of Your Health, for an honest, story-driven conversation about one of the hardest things leaders face: the moment you have to decide whether to intervene or trust the person in front of you to figure it out themselves. Matt draws on his own experience leading a complex healthcare organization — and some unexpectedly vivid analogies involving Teslas, flight instructors, and teaching a daughter to drive — to explore what real leadership presence actually looks like.What you'll hear in this episode:Why knowing when not to take control is the mark of a confident, mature leaderThe difference between someone struggling because of skill versus someone struggling because of confidence — and why each demands a completely different responseWhat it means to be a "leader of leaders" — and how to build people who can steer the ship when you're not in the roomHow grace, trust, and being secure in yourself are the foundation of every great leadership relationshipWhy leaders should take their PTO — and why the week before you leave is actually your most productiveIf you lead people — or you're being led — this one will stay with you. www.YourHealth.Org

What if everything you've been taught about money is wrong? Today on the No Grey Areas Podcast, host Pat McCalla sits down with Sharon Lechter—bestselling author, entrepreneur, financial literacy expert, and co-author of the international bestseller “Rich Dad Poor Dad”. With more than 44 million books sold, Sharon has spent decades helping people build wealth, create financial freedom, and think differently about money.In this conversation, Sharon explains the difference between earning an income and building wealth, why so many people stay financially stuck, and how to start thinking like an investor instead of just an employee. Patrick and Sharon break down income-producing assets, the money lessons most of us were never taught, how to teach your children practical money habits early, investing, delayed gratification, the HENRY mindset, and why your paycheck alone won't make you wealthy.Whether you're an entrepreneur, business owner, parent, or simply looking to take control of your finances, this episode is full of practical wisdom and financial “one-liners” you can apply to achieving financial freedom.

Love Your Career Podcast? Let us know!Red Brick Thinking, Productivity and Taking Control of Your Career with Donna McGeorgeWhat if the answer to feeling overwhelmed is not to do more, but to remove what is no longer necessary?In this episode of Your Career Podcast, Jane Jackson speaks with productivity expert, bestselling author and speaker Donna McGeorge about her unconventional career journey, the beliefs that shape the way we work, and why so many capable professionals find themselves overcommitted, exhausted and short of time.Donna shares how her career evolved from early aspirations of becoming a coroner to working as a secretary, IT trainer and learning and development professional before building her own successful business. After experiencing several company failures, she made the decision to take greater control of her career and create work on her own terms.Jane and Donna explore why many so-called time management problems are not really about time at all. Overflowing inboxes, excessive meetings and difficulty delegating are often symptoms of deeper issues, including lack of trust, unclear priorities, perfectionism and the stories we tell ourselves about what a capable professional should be able to manage.Donna also introduces the central idea behind her new book, Red Brick Thinking. When faced with a problem, most of us instinctively add another task, process, meeting or responsibility. Red brick thinking invites us to consider subtraction instead. What could be removed, simplified, stopped or allowed to end?The conversation also covers workplace burnout, cognitive overload, setting realistic boundaries, questioning false urgency and periodically reassessing whether a role still fits the life you want to lead.Donna shares the unexpected story behind The ChatGPT Revolution and how one conversation with a journalist led her to write the most commercially successful book of her career.This is a practical and thought-provoking conversation for anyone who feels stretched by work, is considering a career change, or needs permission to stop carrying responsibilities that no longer serve a useful purpose.Key takeawaysMany productivity problems are not really about managing time. They are often caused by overcommitment, unclear priorities, excessive meetings and difficulty delegating.Donna's concept of Red Brick Thinking encourages us to solve problems through strategic subtraction. Rather than automatically adding another task, process or responsibility, consider what could be removed, simplified or stopped.Clear boundaries protect our time and capacity. Before agreeing to an urgent request, question the deadline, clarify when the work will be reviewed and communicate what can realistically be achieved.Where to find Donna McGeorgeLearn more about Donna, her books and her work at:https://donnamcgeorge.com/- - - - - - - -Welcome to Your Career Podcast with Jane Jackson where I help mid career professionals overcome self doubt and gain career clarity and the confidence to create the life and career they desire.

Norense Odiase spent most of his life chasing one dream: basketball.A former Division I athlete and professional basketball player, Norense helped Texas Tech make history, ultimately reaching the 2019 National Championship game. But behind the success, recognition, and accomplishments was a much more complicated story.In Part 1 of our conversation, Norense sits down with Joe and Hannah to talk about the experiences that shaped him long before the world knew him as a basketball player.He opens up about growing up in a Nigerian-American family, being sexually assaulted as a child, getting bullied, struggling to fit in, fighting for respect, and eventually discovering basketball as a place where he finally felt safe, seen, and valued.But as basketball gave Norense confidence and purpose, it also slowly became his identity.He shares what happened when injuries threatened the one thing he had built his life around, how rejection pushed him to take control of his own future, and what it felt like to experience the greatest basketball success of his life while privately dealing with grief, loss, and suicidal thoughts.This is a conversation about identity, childhood trauma, ambition, faith, resilience, and the stories we tell ourselves about who we are.And it's only Part 1.00:00 Meet Norense Odiase05:00 Childhood, Family & Trauma08:59 Finding Safety in Basketball14:52 Rejection, Coaches & Identity17:01 Faith & Finding Meaning in Pain21:27 Betting Everything on Basketball24:04 Taking Control of His Own Future28:03 Injuries & Losing His Identity31:32 The National Championship Run32:55 The Mental Health Battle Nobody Saw33:13 To Be Continued...

How do you keep showing up for someone you love when grief has already started, and the bills, taxes, legal decisions, and everyday money stuff suddenly land on your shoulders too? Suzy McNamara joins Stacy for a conversation about caring for her husband through early-onset Alzheimer's, losing both her husband and sister in the same year, and finding her footing again through grief. They talk about the financial wake-up call that came with caregiving, why both partners need to understand the household finances, and how small wins can slowly bring back a sense of control. You'll hear them discuss: How anticipatory grief can begin long before someone dies, especially when illness slowly changes the person you love What happened when Suzy realized her husband could no longer manage the finances and how much had already started slipping through the cracks Why leaving all the money decisions to one partner can create a huge amount of stress when illness, incapacity, or loss enters the picture How getting help from financial professionals, friends, and a trusted support team helped Suzy rebuild confidence one problem at a time Why shame and embarrassment around money can keep people stuck, and the power of simply asking, “What can I solve today?” The value of regular financial check-ins with your partner so both of you understand the bills, savings, debt, taxes, accounts, and passwords How learning to manage money became one area Suzy could actually control during a time when so much else felt completely out of her hands Resources Suzy McNamara on Website | "The Silkworm, The Magician and The Sister Tree" Book | LinkedIn Stacy Francis on LinkedIn | X(Twitter) | Email FrancisFinancial.com Reach out to receive a complimentary consultation!

Mary Anastasia O'Grady discusses the alarming rise of authoritarianism in Mexico under President Claudia Sheinbaum and her ruling party, Morena. O'Grady details how the ruling party has systematically consolidated power by taking control of independent electoral bodies, tribunals, regulatory commissions, and the judiciary through politicized popular elections. She warns that Morena's latest effort targets television and radio—the primary sources of information for most Mexican citizens—to effectively censor critical independent media. While O'Grady deeply laments the weak leadership of the official political opposition, she finds hope in the strong pushback and widespread mobilization of Mexican civil society against these state controls.

AI is moving beyond meeting notes – and into the work that happens next.In this UC Today interview, Christopher Carey speaks with Global Tech Futurist Daniel Burrus about the rise of AI that can capture decisions, connect context across collaboration tools, schedule meetings, coordinate follow-up, and help teams move from conversation to execution.But as AI gains more autonomy, where should organizations draw the line?Burrus discusses why agentic AI needs meaningful constraints, the risks of an AI-first approach to workplace productivity, and why the most sustainable model is human-first AI: using intelligent agents to augment people, strengthen collaboration, and preserve trust.In this interview:
Episode Description:This From the Archive episode features Tyra Banks and her mother, Carolyn London, in a conversation about beauty, business, motherhood, reinvention, and the power of not trying to be perfect.There is no “A Note from James” section for this episode.James begins by explaining why America's Next Top Model mattered to him as a father. He watched the show with his daughters, and what stood out was not just modeling or fashion. It was the way Tyra taught that success depended on personality, presence, charisma, preparation, and knowing how to use what made you different.Tyra and Carolyn discuss their book Perfect Is Boring, which grew out of the raw, funny, and sometimes embarrassing conversations Carolyn had with Tyra throughout her life. Carolyn did not want Tyra to enter adulthood ignorant, ashamed, or unprepared. That meant frank talks about sex, periods, modeling, business, self-worth, and how to handle a world that would constantly try to define her.A major theme of the conversation is preparation. When Tyra chose Paris Fashion Week over college, Carolyn told her that the choice was hers—but if she was going to model, she had to treat it like a business. She had to study designers the way she had studied for the SAT. She had to understand the industry, the clients, the aesthetics, and the opportunities before she got on the plane.That preparation became one of Tyra's biggest advantages. She explains how she studied Chanel, Yves Saint Laurent, Dior, and other designers, adjusting her look and walk from audition to audition. She later used the same strategic mindset when high-fashion clients criticized her body and told her to lose weight. Instead of starving herself, she and Carolyn sat down over pizza and made a list of clients and models who embraced a curvier, more commercial look.That list changed her career.Tyra also talks about becoming the first Black model to achieve several milestones at Victoria's Secret, and how one early failure came not from her lack of ability, but from a hairdresser who did not know how to work with Black hair. A year later, she took control of the situation, prepared her own hair, fought for another chance, and rebuilt that opportunity on her terms.The conversation then moves into television. Tyra explains how America's Next Top Model came to her as a blend of American Idol and The Real World, set inside the modeling industry. Her agent dismissed the idea, but Tyra found another path, worked with Kenya Barris and Ken Mok, and became deeply involved in producing and editing the show.Finally, Tyra reflects on success, burnout, delegation, motherhood, and legacy. At the height of her career, she was on magazine covers, running shows, and being recognized as one of the most influential people in the world—but she says she was also at the bottom of her spirit.

Talking about death and divorce is never romantic, but staying silent means letting the government make your most personal decisions for you. In this episode, we break down a surprising truth: Everyone already has a default prenup and a default will. If you don't write your own, your state's laws will step in to dictate how your assets are handled during a divorce or after your death.We explore why these topics make us so uncomfortable, how to overcome the anxiety, and why prenups are actually the ultimate exercise in financial intimacy. Plus, we look at why—for physicians specifically—legal planning is vital "preventative medicine" to protect against high student debt, future earning potential, and professional liability. I also share a bit of full transparency about why my husband and I didn't get a prenup when we were young. What We Cover:The Default Reality: Why silence means accepting the state's rules for your estate and marriage.Overcoming Taboos: Navigating the emotional and cultural anxieties around money.Preventative Medicine for Docs: Why high debt, high future earnings, and liability change the game for physicians.Host Transparency: My personal story of marrying young with a negative net worth.Please subscribe and leave a review on your favorite Podcasting platform.

We are joined by one of my wonderful coaching clients, Lisa Lantz, the brilliant owner of The Getup—a community-focused resale store that sells everything from newborn and adult clothing to accessories, kids' gear, and toys. Lisa is just a few short weeks away from graduating from the Inventory Genius program, and she has made absolute leaps and bounds over the past year. We have never had a guest on the show with this specific type of inventory-based business model, and the breakthroughs she has made with her numbers are going to blow you away. Whether you run a traditional retail boutique, a resale shop, or even a dropshipping business, Lisa's journey holds some massive gold nuggets for you. Key Takeaways from This Episode: Consignment vs. Buy-Outright: Understand the financial risk of buying inventory outright from your customers versus running a traditional consignment model, and why your margins must reflect that risk. The Fear of Policy Changes: Why we need to "stay out of our customers' pocketbooks" and make business-first decisions without letting fear dictate our financial policies. Cracking the Cash-to-Credit Ratio: How tracking the exact ratio of cash payouts to in-store credit (which, for Lisa, sits consistently at 70% cash and 30% credit) allows for highly accurate cash-flow planning. Data-Driven Curating: Moving away from buying inventory just because "it's in good shape" to hand-curating based on high-margin, fast-turning categories (like discovering women's wear drove over 50% of Lisa's sales!). The Power of One-Dollar Levers: How focusing on just one simple lever—like raising your average ticket size by a small margin through employee training—can bridge massive sales gaps. Inside the Conversation 1. The Cash vs. Credit Conundrum Because The Getup is a buy-outright resale store, Lisa's customers can choose between cash or in-store credit (which now offers 10% more value) on the spot. When we first started working together, this model created a lot of cloudiness around her COGS (Cost of Goods Sold). We realized Lisa was paying up to 40% back in cash just to support her community and keep inventory coming in. But when you buy outright, you take on 100% of the risk if that item doesn't sell. We adjusted her payouts down, and despite her fear that she'd drive people away, not a single customer complained. "We hold off on making really important financial decisions out of fear of what people will think or say, and a lot of times, that story is only created in our head." 2. Finding the Ratios and Taking Control of Cash Flow Once we started digging into the data, we discovered a highly consistent pattern: 30% of her buyouts were store credit, and 70% were cash. Knowing this ratio changed everything. Instead of guessing, Lisa can now accurately map out her open-to-buy plan and know exactly how much hard cash she needs on hand each month. No more putting out daily financial fires! 3. Curating with Intention (and Saying "No" Gently) In resale, your inventory is a daily surprise. Lisa used to accept items simply because they were nice. Now, she uses her category data to make smart buying decisions. When she realized women's apparel made up over 50% of her sales, she knew exactly where to focus her efforts. We also talk about the delicate art of saying "no" to individual black-bag drop-offs without making it personal. 4. Moving the Needle on Average Ticket Size Our latest project is bridging a big sales growth gap not by wishing for random traffic, but by focusing on average ticket size. Lisa shares her strategy for bringing her part-time team into the numbers conversation, recording training videos, and why she is temporarily stepping back onto the sales floor to spot the operational puzzle pieces herself.

Why do so many men accept feeling tired, sluggish, and unhealthy as "just part of getting older"?In this episode, I sit down with Pat Fahy from Game Day Men's Health to talk about testosterone, men's health, peptides, stress, recovery, mental health, the truth about the "dad bod," and why taking care of yourself makes you a better husband, father, and leader.If you're a man over 40—or love one—this is a conversation worth hearing.

Are you waiting to be chosen… or are you choosing yourself?How often do we wait for permission before pursuing the life we really want? Whether it's applying for a new job, reaching out to someone we admire, asking for help or taking the first step towards a goal, it can feel safer to wait for someone else to notice us.In this episode of Inner Work, I reflect on one of the biggest ideas to emerge from my conversation with Clinical Psychologist Cliff Hawkins: the importance of agency, self-belief and learning to raise your hand rather than waiting to be picked.Together, we explore why confidence often follows action, how small acts of courage can change the direction of our lives, and why nobody is coming to rescue us—but that might actually be empowering rather than frightening.If you've ever wondered whether you're holding yourself back, this gentle reflection is for you.
Humans used fire as a tool. Now we fear its destruction. But we're responsible for changing the climate, argues John Vailliant, "in a way that favours fire way more than it favours us." The author unpacks how fire made humans who we are — and how humans are changing fire in his book, Fire Weather: The Making of a Beast.*This episode originally aired on May 29, 2024.

The best designed levels are the ones that quietly guide players and build emotion without ever feeling restrictive. But too often, we feel the need to hand-hold to ensure they can progress, without realizing we're doing more harm than good. In this episode, we explore how level design functions as an invisible layer of communication between developers and players by breaking down the principles that help create experiences that feel intuitive, engaging, and rewarding, without players ever realizing we were always in control.

Most people trying to improve their lives are doing it without a clear picture of what they are building toward. For Joel Steele, a near-miss with prison forced him to start making different choices. His book “Life Switch” grows out of that turning point, and the framework he describes maps surprisingly well onto the tools that continuous improvement professionals use every day. In this episode you’ll learn: Why progress builds momentum faster than motivation alone (0:02) The quote Joel likes (3:19) How focus shapes the direction of everything you do (4:09) What a near-death experience reveals about wasted potential (6:06) How the puzzle analogy reframes goal-setting for real life (8:58) Why believing in the process separates progress from stagnation (13:22) How failure functions as fuel rather than a stop sign (14:47) The difference between living on and merely surviving each day (18:46) How understanding your wiring unlocks the right role for you (21:27) Why fulfillment is the only scorecard that actually matters (24:13) How buying one book becomes part of a million-dollar donation (27:27) “It’s simple in theory, but it’s hard to execute. But when you understand that, hey, this is going to work and you believe in that process and you don’t have doubt in yourself, you make so much more progress.” – Joel Steele Keep Learning If Joel’s point about believing in the process resonated, the School of Leadership is a natural next step for anyone who wants to build the kind of clarity and conviction that sustains continuous improvement over time.

In this episode, Travis breaks down his conversation with wellness creator and fitness educator Michael Smoak, better known online as HigherUpWellness. With millions of followers across TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube, Michael has built a massive audience by cutting through the noise of the fitness industry and sharing practical, evidence-based advice that actually works. Travis reflects on the lessons from their conversation, including why nuance matters in health, how simple habits outperform trendy hacks, and why taking ownership of your physical health can completely transform your life. On this episode we talk about: Why certainty and absolutism are major red flags in the fitness industry The importance of getting your physical health in order early in life Why fitness and weight loss are simple, but not easy How honestly tracking your food can completely change your perspective Why personal responsibility matters more than relying on the healthcare system Top 3 Takeaways Most health and fitness advice fails because people focus on hacks and shortcuts instead of mastering the fundamentals like sleep, movement, nutrition, and consistency. Tracking your calories honestly — even for just 30 days — can expose the habits that are actually holding you back. Taking control of your health improves far more than your body; it impacts your confidence, mental clarity, opportunities, and overall quality of life. Notable Quotes “Nuance isn't weakness — nuance is honesty.” “It's not easy, but it is simple.” “Nobody's coming to fix this for you.” Connect with Michael Smoak: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/higherupwellness TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@higherupwellness Other: https://higherupwellness.com A Word from Our Sponsors: - Are you ready to start your own creatorjourney and make it big?

In this co-host episode, Travis and his producer, Eric, break down the latest data on financial stress in America and shares his unfiltered perspective on what it really takes to improve your financial situation. With a mix of humor, real-world examples, and hard truths, they challenge listeners to stop waiting for external solutions and start building skills that create income and independence. On this episode we talk about: The latest SurveyMonkey data on rising financial stress and affordability challenges Why blaming the government won't fix your personal financial situation Practical ways to make more money through skills, promotions, and side hustles How to use extra cash (like tax refunds) to create long-term income The mindset shift required to take ownership of your financial future Top 3 Takeaways The biggest lever you can pull isn't cutting expenses—it's increasing your income through valuable skills. Waiting for external solutions (like government policy changes) delays progress you could be making right now. Investing in yourself—your skills, knowledge, and earning ability—creates lasting financial stability, not temporary relief. Notable Quotes "Nobody has as much control over your financial situation as you do." "You can only cut your expenses to zero, but there's no cap on how much you can make." "Even if it's not your fault, it's still your responsibility."

In this solo episode, I dig into what so many parents of teens wrestle with: rebuilding trust after your kid has hurt or scared you. I explore why hypervigilance is a trauma response and not a character flaw, the difference between earned trust and naive trust, why the body holds on even when our mind wants to move on, and how doing your own healing work matters as much as anything they do. Tender, real, and full of practical tools.
