What does it really take to scale a food brand when your standards make everything harder?In this episode, Eva sits down with Tara and Megan, the founders behind Canadian functional food company Rawcology. What started in a family kitchen with a dehydrator and a mission to remove inflammatory ingredients from everyday snacks has grown into a nationally distributed brand now carried by retailers including Whole Foods, Bulk Barn and Costco.But growth didn't follow the typical startup playbook. They chose to self-manufacture instead of co-packing, prioritized ingredient integrity over margins, and navigated fundraising as a women-led company in a category dominated by massive incumbents.They share the realities behind building a CPG business — the economics of distribution, why the system favours cheap food, the bias they encountered raising capital, and how staying close to customers shaped their product strategy.This is a conversation about entrepreneurship, resilience, and defining success on your own terms when your values come first.This season of our podcast is brought to you by TD Canada Women in Enterprise. TD is proud to support women entrepreneurs and help them achieve success and growth through its program of educational workshops, financing and mentorship opportunities!

What does it really take to move innovation from idea to impact inside a 95,000-person organization? In this episode of the Innovation Storytellers Show, I sat down with Vlora Muslimi, Senior Manager at TD Bank, whose path into innovation did not begin in a lab or a product team. It began in contact centers, in the daily friction of legacy tools, imperfect processes, and frontline employees trying to do their best work under pressure. With more than 15 years of experience across digital, omni-channel, and contact center operations, Vlora now leads a centralized innovation team responsible for harnessing grassroots ideas from across the enterprise. We are not talking about a handful of suggestions. Her team reviews between 16,000 and 18,000 ideas annually, and TD recently celebrated surpassing 100,000 employee-submitted ideas. Behind those numbers lies a disciplined approach to listening, triaging, matchmaking across business lines, and, most importantly, storytelling. Vlora shares how her early operational experience shaped her belief that innovation fails when it creates friction for either employees or customers. Solve only for one side, and the solution will not stick. That philosophy now guides how her team evaluates ideas, connects contact centers with technology teams, and prioritizes initiatives that balance business value with human impact. We spend time unpacking the emotional side of innovation, especially the heartbreak of ideas that do not move forward. What surprised her most was that employees were not asking for every idea to be implemented. They were asking for transparency. Who got selected? Why? What can we learn? That insight sparked a stronger internal storytelling engine, one that highlights winning ideas, shares lessons from the journey, and builds belief that anyone can bring an idea across the finish line. Our conversation also dives into empathy as a leadership muscle. Innovation leaders often rush toward outcomes, yet resistance frequently signals fear, confusion, or misalignment. Vlora explains why naming the discomfort in change, rather than sugarcoating it, builds trust and accelerates adoption. She reinforces that storytelling is not optional. It is the bridge between data and belief, between alignment and action. We explore real examples, from redesigning onboarding to improve connection and retention, to evolving adjudication processes for new-to-Canada customers. These are not flashy, headline-grabbing technologies. They are human-centered transformations that create measurable impact across millions of customers and thousands of colleagues. Looking ahead, Vlora sees growing sophistication in ideas leveraging generative AI, alongside a personal mission to increase the organization's implementation rate beyond its current 10 to 13 percent. For her, the path forward is clear. Engage more people. Strengthen the narrative. Connect impact to purpose. And when I ask her the big questions, she names the iPhone as the greatest innovation she has lived through, imagines joining Ford's original automobile team, and closes with a powerful reminder that the story the world needs now is one rooted in understanding and empathy. If you are leading change inside a complex organization, this episode is a masterclass in balancing listening with execution, process with people, and strategy with story. What might happen inside your organization if every employee believed their idea could matter?

Super Bowl 60 Review Game Review - Seahawks won their second SB in franchise history beating the Patriots 29-13- Pats punted on their first 6 drives of the game - Jason Myers kicked 3 FG in the first half to give the Seahawks a 9-0 lead - Kenneth Walker had a 30 and 29 yard run on one of the drives that were huge plays for the Seahawks - After another Pats punt in the 3rd, Seahawks take get another FG to go up 12-0 - At this point in the game I was thinking would there be any TDs in the game - Both defense were playing with their hair on fire - Drake Maye was under siege the entire game, didn't play well - Darnold didn't play that good either, but he did great job managing the game - At the end of the 3rd quarter Maye is sacked by Derick Hall and DT Byron Murphy recovers the fumble - Getting the ball at NE 37, the Seahawks finally put together a drive and score a TD 16 yard AJ Barner TD - At this point I knew the game was over- However, on the next drive, Maye hits Mack Hollins on two 30 yard bombs to cut the deficit to 19-7- Seahawks punt on their next drive - Pats after the punt, gets the ball back, and Maye throws a terrible pick to Julian Love - Seahawks get another FG to go up 22-7 - Next Pat drive, Maye throws the kiss of death pick 6 to Uchenna Nwosu to seal the game Biggest Takeways From the Game - Seahawks winning this proved you don't need a young genius offense coach to win a SB - Seahawks defense really were the MVPs of the game, Pats really sustain any drives all night - Drake Maye put up one of the worse playoffs runs for at least 3 games in a postseason since 2000 - With hindsight, you would think a defense of coach is going to make a young QB feel uncomfortable and that is what happened Winners and Losers

Kat is getting ready for only her SECOND date in months… and the pressure is on. What do you wear? How do you act? Do you play it cool or immediately talk about your gut health underwear collection? The show rallies around Kat with wildly unhelpful advice. Then we open the phones for your most unhinged workplace disaster stories — from accidental emails to HR nightmares to “I thought I was muted” moments. Let's just say… some of you should not be allowed near a company Slack channel. And finally, Fletch drops a bombshell: he claims he has an actual degree in broadcasting… which would make him the ONLY person in the entire building technically qualified to be on the radio. Is it real? Is it framed? Was it printed at Kinko's in 2007? The investigation begins. It's dating pressure, workplace chaos, and credential controversy — just another calm morning with Big Rich, TD, and Fletch
Gerry “The Monk” Hutch says he's running again — this time for the Dublin Central by‑election — and we ask the big question: would you want someone like him as a TD in Dáil Éireann?Callers are absolutely split: some say “he can't be any worse than what's in there” and want to “give him a chance”, others say he has no policies, no plan, and shouldn't be anywhere near power — especially with CAB still chasing nearly €800k.Plus: another Opinions Matter travel mug giveaway question at the end.

Valentine's Day is coming… and we're here to save you from sleeping on the couch. On today's episode of Big Rich, TD, and Fletch, they break down the absolute WORST Valentine's Day gifts you could give (hint: if it plugs in, cleans something, or comes from a gas station—abort mission) and they crown the BEST gifts that might actually earn you bonus points instead of a side-eye. Then the guys fix the Winter Olympics. Because honestly? They have better ideas. From “Extreme Snow Shoveling” to “Mitten-texting,” they're pitching events that would actually get ratings. And finally… the show discovers new tech underwear that monitors gut health. So naturally, they decide to buy them and scientifically determine who has the worst stomach. Spoiler: It's Kat. It's always Kat. Love, innovation, and gastrointestinal warfare — just another morning with Big Rich, TD, and Fletch.
Canada is facing a women's health crisis: three in four women over 40 experience menopausal symptoms that disrupt their daily lives — yet access to care is inconsistent, fragmented, and often out of reach.In this episode of The Brand is Female, originally recorded during World Menopause Month, Eva Hartling speaks with Dr. Michelle Jacobson, a leading OBGYN who decided to take her expertise beyond the clinic and into entrepreneurship. As co-founder of Coven Women's Health, she is transforming how women access hormonal health support in Ontario with a virtual platform offering expert, continuous, and personalized care.Dr. Jacobson is joined by her co-founder and CEO, Jennifer Patterson — a seasoned business builder with experience at Google and TD, who, after her own frustrating experience of feeling unwell, became passionate about making women's health solutions easier to access.Together, they discuss why hormonal health remains stigmatized and overlooked in Canada, what's missing from our current system, and how Coven is reshaping the future of women's healthcare through integrated programs that support women navigating menopause, perimenopause, PCOS, postpartum recovery, PMDD, and more.

Go to www.LearningLeader.com This is brought to you by Insight Global. If you need to hire one person, hire a team of people, or transform your business through Talent or Technical Services, Insight Global's team of 30,000 people around the world has the hustle and grit to deliver. www.InsightGlobal.com/LearningLeader My guest: PJ Fleck is the head football coach at the University of Minnesota. Before that, he transformed Western Michigan from one win to 13 wins and a Cotton Bowl appearance. Before his coaching days, PJ was a stud receiver at Northern Illinois and was a guy I played against in college. Coach Fleck has built one of college football's most distinctive culture-driven programs. You'll hear why he maintains an 80-20 split favoring high school recruiting over the transfer portal, how he runs practice with a 32-second clock to make it harder than games, and why he sees himself as a cultural driver rather than a motivational coach. This is a conversation recorded with all of our coaches inside "The Arena." That is our mastermind group for coaches in all sports. And it did not disappoint. Notes: Stop recruiting, start selecting. PJ doesn't chase the highest-rated players... He looks for fit and alignment with his values. Ask yourself: Are you trying to convince people to join your team, or are you selecting people who already want what you're building? Efficiency beats duration. PJ runs 95-minute practices with a 32-second play clock, always moving, always intense. The principle: Make practice harder than the game. Where in your work are you confusing time spent with intensity and focus? Internal drive trumps external motivation. PJ calls his ideal players "Nektons," always attacking, never satisfied. He's looking for people who prove their worth to themselves, not to others. If you need constant external motivation, you're not ready for elite teams. A leader must teach and demand. A team member must prepare and perform. These aren't opposing forces—they're two sides of the same commitment to excellence. My junior year at Ohio University. I was the quarterback of the Ohio football team. We lost to No. 17 Northern Illinois 30-23 in overtime on a Saturday night. P.J. Fleck caught the game-tying 15-yard touchdown pass late in the fourth quarter. PJ finished with 14 catches for 235 yards and a touchdown. (I threw a 30-yard TD pass to Anthony Hackett to put us up a TD right before halftime). Let your team see you played. They do"Guess that Gopher" before team meetings, where players guess which coach's highlights they're watching. Give them a peek behind the curtain. It builds credibility and connection. PJ honors his mentor, Jim Tressel, by wearing a tie while coaching. Who are you honoring through your daily practices? Keep your door open. PJ has no secretary. Players can walk into his office at any moment. Create fluidity between you and your team. Transparency after tragedy is a choice. When PJ's son died from a heart condition, he had two options: never talk about it again, or let it shape him. He chose radical transparency, knowing it would get scrutinized. That's where "Row the Boat" comes from. A losing season reveals what you actually need. After going 1-11 at Western Michigan while also getting divorced, PJ says every coach should experience a losing season. It forces you to identify what you actually need versus what you don't need. Choose what scares you. When deciding on Minnesota, Heather asked him, "Does this scare you?" He said, "Hell yeah, it scares me." His response: "Well then, that's where we're going." Life versus living. Living is the salary and contract. Life is about moments and memory. If you can't stay in the moment and reflect on great moments or hard moments, life will be like mashed potatoes to you. Your expectations should match your resources. The gap between expectations and resources is called frustration. The bigger the gap, the more frustration from everyone around you. Maintain an 80/20 model if you can. 80% high school players, 20% transfer portal. PJ has one of the highest retention rates in the country because of selection and fit, not recruiting. "It's not about the money until it's about the money." The kids' PJ gets value for other things before the money talk. They enjoy the experience of being a college athlete. PJ leads with "I'm really difficult to play for." PJ's opening line to recruits. He asks for a lot. This makes people who are lazy, complacent, or fraudulent run like hell. "This is going to expose me." Start with good people, not good players. Out of 500 kids, who are the best 25 young men? PJ doesn't get five stars. He gets two and three stars who believe they can be five stars. A chip versus a crack on your shoulder. Once you do something the media says you couldn't do, they'll set a new bar. All PJ wants is kids who want to prove to themselves that they can do what people say they couldn't. You don't need PJ's personality. You need the internal drive to be the best version of yourself. That's what he's selecting for. "I'm not a motivational coach. I'm a cultural driver." PJ picks their "how." He picks their journey. If someone needs constant motivation, they're not ready. Peel back the Instagram filter. Everything you see on social media is filtered. You have to dig deeper with this generation to find out who they really are. Hire former players back. PJ's staff has more former players who played for him than ever before. They cut their teeth in the building. In this transactional era, former players help you stay transformational. The HYPRR System. This is PJ's hyperculture framework he created after going 1-11: H (How): The people. Nektons who always attack. How you do one thing is how you do everything. Consistency matters. Y (Yours): Your vision. It's YOUR life, not anyone else's vision. Players are the builders. Don't tell me you want an extravagant home and then hire bad builders. P (Process): The work. The who, what, when, where, and why. Anyone should be able to ask those questions at any point. R (Result): Focus on the HYP. It's not the officials' fault. It's not the other team's fault. R (Response): How will you respond to the result? Don't believe the hype. Everything about hype is before the result happens. Focus on How, Yours, and Process instead. Someone will take what you were taught was horrible and create a business model. PJ uses Uber and Airbnb as examples. We were taught "stranger danger" as kids. Now we get in cars with strangers while drunk and sleep in their homes. The right people plugged into crazy visions can change everything. Define success as peace of mind. That's how PJ's program defines success. Not wins and losses. Train body language. "Big chest" means standing up straight. Players are not allowed to put their hands on their knees or their heads. If you can't hold yourself up, trainers need to check on you. Teach response, not reaction. You can have emotions, but train to not be emotional. The real world wants to see you react. Train to respond properly in every situation. Your words have power. PJ's players know the definitions of 150 words that will help them for the rest of their lives. Give substance to the filters. That's your job as an educator. Cut all the fat off practice. PJ was from the era of 3.5-hour practices. He has ADD and needs to move. He got bored as a player, so he vowed to run practice differently. Run a 32-second play clock constantly. Every 32 seconds, you run a play. You are always under the two-minute warning in practice. This trains your team to operate under pressure. Never practice longer than 95 minutes. It's one thing to watch as a recruit. It's another to experience it as a player. Kids puke during dynamic warmup in the first week because it's that intense. Make practice harder than the game. The game will eventually slow down for your players if practice is legitimately harder. Nektons flow through water currents without being affected. Don't let circumstances dictate behavior. Train this mindset daily. The biggest jump in sports is from high school to college. 17-year-olds playing against 24-year-olds. It's not just talent. It's experience, development, strength, and confidence all at once. Never let any environment be too big for your coaches. Train your staff to be comfortable in all situations, not just your players. Always be learning outside your field. PJ attends leadership seminars with SEALs and Green Berets. At one dinner, a retired military officer who looked like Sean Connery scanned the room quietly, then said: "I'm taking in all the good in the room. I'm also coming up with a plan to kill every one of you, in case I need to." He never came back to the table because he got called to active duty and left for Afghanistan. Always be ready. That's what makes you special. Watch to learn. PJ watched "Landman" and took notes on how to run the next team meeting. His wife hates that he can never relax. Find teaching and education in everything you do. When you stop, you stop growing. Get better at celebrating. PJ has a great bourbon and champagne collection. He celebrates more than he ever has. Balance the intensity with moments of joy. Make transformational programs real. Gopher for Life program. Monthly educational courses. Monthly date nights where players bring their dates and learn dinner etiquette. Monthly racial education class. Weekly coach development on Thursdays, where coaches speak on any topic to advance their careers. Don't let important things stop when the news cycle moves on. COVID and racism got put in the same bracket. When COVID stopped, racism education stopped everywhere. Not at Minnesota. Keep going. Bring back the fun. After wins, players can't wait to pick the design for the next team shirt. PJ gives them five options, and they get into it. People are losing the fun connection that made elementary school great. A coach's job is to teach and demand. A player's job is to prepare and perform. If you're a coach, you better be teaching things: life, sport, relationships. Elite teams are led by players. Your job is to get as many elite people to the front of the bus as possible.

Garth Heckman The David Alliance TDAgiantSlayer@Gmail.com Superbowl… t's actually been fascinating. Mike Macdonald is doing stuff he hasn't done all season long to just completely confuse Drake Maye and the Patriots. He rarely blitzes, and he is blitzing the CRAP out of Drake Maye tonight. Seattle's scoring: All points initially came from kicker Jason Myers, who hit four field goals (tying a Super Bowl record for most in a game, all from shorter distances like 39-41 yards). This gave Seattle a 12-0 lead by the end of the third quarter. First touchdown: Late in the game (early Q4), Seahawks QB Sam Darnold connected with tight end AJ Barner for a 16-yard TD pass, making it 19-0 (with the extra point). This came right after a key forced fumble by the Seattle defense on Patriots QB Drake Maye. Patriots' response: New England finally got on the board with a touchdown pass from Drake Maye (to Mack Hollins in some reports), cutting it to 19-7. Their offense has struggled significantly, with very few first downs and low yardage (e.g., around 58 total yards at one point in the third). Defense dominates: Seattle's defense has overwhelmed the Patriots, holding them scoreless through three quarters—the second Super Bowl ever with no TDs through three quarters. Kenneth Walker III and the Seahawks' run game have been effective, while New England's offense has been stifled. YOu might miss this: Yardage disparity: Seattle has racked up far more yards (e.g., 252+ at points) compared to New England's anemic output, highlighting how one-sided the trenches and play-calling have been. Turning point Halftime show… cool, but needed more life on the stage like dancers etc… But the kid rock / Joe Rogan montage was absolutely fantastic… loved it. When love becomes selective, it stops looking like God's Love. The Pattern** Every wrong love in Scripture has one thing in common: It centers on self instead of surrender. Our biggest failure in love is we always first see how it should be applied to us and very rarely to other others. Jesus said “love your neighbor as yourself”. We apply that is positive situations… but what about negative, problematic, painful situations. Where the other person may not exactly deserve love according to how they are treating us… AGAIN - love your neighbor as yourself. When you are like that - and yes you, me all of us are like that - how do you want to be loved? Remember Every wrong love in Scripture has one thing in common: It centers on self instead of surrender. Now here is the kicker… every wrong love in our lives has one thing in common - it centers of self instead of surrender. When I want to be loved the way I want to be loved - when I am at my worst - but I don't want to love others in the same situation and in the same way - I am the ultimate hypocrite. **lets practice self love on others… make sense? I hope so. Now go do it!
Happy National Man Day!Ladies and gentlemen we are at the end of the road for NFL football, as we wrap-up Super Bowl LX between the Seahawks and Patriots.

In a back-and-forth battle that went down to the wire, the Seahawks pulled off a dramatic 31-27 victory to punch their ticket to Super Bowl LX — their fourth in franchise history! Sam Darnold was absolutely lights out, delivering a career-defining performance: 25/36 for 346 yards, 3 touchdowns, and zero turnovers. He went toe-to-toe with Matthew Stafford in a true QB duel, finding big plays to Jaxon Smith-Njigba (10 catches, 153 yards, TD), Cooper Kupp, and Jake Bobo while the "Dark Side" defense sealed it with a massive fourth-down stop on the Rams' final drive (Devon Witherspoon's end-zone breakup!).We break it all down live: What went RIGHT for Seattle (explosive plays, clutch defense, special teams turnover) What went WRONG (penalties, late momentum swings) The keys to victory and why this Seahawks team is Super Bowl-ready Use promo code NEST on Sleeper and get 100% match up to $100! https://Sleeper.com/promo/NEST.
