Podcasts about teaming

Subcontracting is not a fallback plan in government contracting — it is the fastest way to learn how federal agencies operate, who the key players are, and how to position yourself to win as a prime. In this Tuesday Night Q&A session, govcon practitioner Colin Nchako breaks down his five-year subcontracting journey and the mindset shift that turned it into a prime-winning career. Sub to prime is a proven roadmap: Colin shares how spending five years as a subcontractor gave him inside access to agency relationships, contract scopes, and prime contractor strategies that he later used to compete and win on his own terms — including competing directly against primes he once worked under. Teaming fills the knowledge gap: Colin reveals how mentor Yvette pushed him to pursue a home composting contract he knew nothing about — and how finding the right teaming partner through his network turned uncertainty into a contract win, proving you don't need to know the subject to win the work. Non-compete clauses in govcon: Colin explains there is no legal requirement to sign a non-compete as a subcontractor, and why refusing to sign one gave him the freedom to compete for the same contracts as his primes when he was ready. Community accelerates growth: The Federal Help Center Q&A format shows how peer accountability, experienced mentors like Yvette and Juliet, and real-deal feedback on live opportunities shortens the learning curve for both new and experienced contractors. Confidence is built through action: Colin's story of overcoming language barriers, fear of public speaking, and imposter syndrome to win federal contracts is a reminder that execution beats hesitation every time.

But when a celebrated chef drops dead during her comeback job interview, she suddenly finds herself the prime suspect in his poisoning. Teaming up with an eccentric neighborhood watch group led by a brilliant, housebound sleuth, she dives into the secrets of a cozy Parisian quartier filled with wine, pastries, and intrigue.

"Putting the Soil Health Principles to the Test in Iowa, USA" with Dr. Marshall McDaniel and Hillary Olson Soil health principles can help guide farmers in best practices for long term soil health and improvement. However, it's important to test these principles across locations and contexts to see how their implementation is actually shaping soil health. In this episode, Marshall and Hillary join me to discuss testing the soil health principles in Iowa and how this might be expanded into further regions. Tune in to learn: ·        What the soil health principles are ·        Which soil health indicators are fast or slow movers ·        Why it's difficult to weight soil health principles ·        What future research is yet to be done If you would like more information about this topic, this episode's paper is available here: https://doi.org/10.1002/saj2.20761 This paper is always freely available.

Message 1 of 3 in the series "Designed to Team" by Christian Williams.

Agency outreach for government contractors is less about what you do and more about what you know before you walk in the room. In this episode, Eric Coffie breaks down exactly how to prepare for virtual agency meetings, which federal vendor portals you cannot afford to skip, and how the Federal Help Center community is actively teaming up to pursue and win real contracts together. What you will learn in this episode: How to structure a 10 to 15 minute virtual agency meeting so you lead with research instead of a company pitch, and walk away with actionable intel on expiring contracts and upcoming opportunities Why SAM.gov is just one piece of the puzzle and how platforms like Tradewinds, the CDAIO AI Playground, DIU vehicles, and agency-specific portals like NASA's vendor registration site are where real opportunities are surfacing How Eric's team solved a persistent agency pain point at a Coast Guard facility and landed a $4 million IDIQ within 60 days by presenting a logistics solution nobody else had thought to offer Why asking agencies about portals, project managers, and end users during a capabilities briefing is more valuable than any amount of time spent reciting your NAICS codes How Federal Help Center members are connecting with each other to form teaming arrangements, refer subcontractors, and pursue multi-year contracts without spending days cold searching for qualified partners If you are serious about growing your federal contracting business, you do not have to figure this out alone. Join the community at federalhelpcenter.com and connect with contractors who are actively pursuing work and willing to team.

In this episode of Innovation Meets Leadership, host Natalie Born continues the Set It on Fire: The Art of Innovation series by diving into Chapter 2: Get Out of My Sandbox. Joined again by Moriah Hidden as the co-host, Natalie unpacks one of the biggest hidden barriers to innovation inside organization, ownership silos.While many organizations believe innovation belongs to a specific department or select group of “creative thinkers,” Natalie challenges this mindset by introducing the concept of the “sandbox.” When innovation is confined to a single team, it limits collaboration, creates resistance, and prevents organizations from reaching their full potential.This conversation explores how leaders can break down silos, invite cross-functional collaboration, and shift organizations from isolated idea ownership to shared responsibility. For organizations ready to move beyond resistance and into action, this episode offers a practical look at how to create a culture where everyone sees themselves as an innovator.[00:00 – 02:30] Continuing the Set It on Fire Series· Natalie introduces Chapter 2 and the concept behind “Get Out of My Sandbox”· Moriah returns as interviewer to guide the conversation· The focus shifts from foundation (Chapter 1) to organizational barriers[02:31 – 06:30] What Is the “Sandbox”?· How organizations unintentionally assign innovation to specific people or departments· Examples: innovation living with leadership, tech teams, or “creative” groups· Why this creates exclusivity around idea generation[06:31 – 10:30] The Problem with Silos· How “ownership” of ideas leads to resistance from other teams· Why employees hesitate to contribute outside their role or department· The connection between silos and stalled innovation[10:31 – 14:30] Moving from Resistance to Action· Why Chapter 2 is the “resistance chapter” in the innovation journey· How leaders can identify where resistance is showing up internally· Shifting mindset from protection to participation[14:31 – 18:30] Innovation as a Team Sport· Why innovation should not be independent—but interdependent· The importance of cross-functional collaboration· How diverse perspectives strengthen ideas and execution[18:31 – 22:30] Creating Shared Ownership· Encouraging every team member to see themselves as an innovator· Breaking the belief that only certain roles are “idea people”· How leaders can invite contribution across all levels[22:31 – 25:30] Leadership's Role in Breaking Silos· Modeling openness to ideas from any department· Removing barriers that limit collaboration· Building systems and culture that support shared innovation[25:31 – 27:30] First Steps for Organizations· Identify where innovation is currently “owned”· Create opportunities for cross-team idea sharing· Reinforce that innovation is everyone's responsibilityQuotes“Innovation doesn't belong to a department—it belongs to the organization.” – Natalie Born“When we protect our sandbox, we limit what's possible.” – Natalie Born“The best ideas don't come from one team—they come from collaboration.” – Natalie BornConnect with Natalie Born:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nataliebornWebsite: https://innovationmeetsleadership.comBook: Set It on Fire: The Art of InnovationBook & Resources: https://setitonfire.coIf this conversation challenged your perspective, share it with a leader or team that's ready to break down silos and rethink how innovation really happens.

Artspeak Radio, Wednesday, April 22, 2026, 9am -10am CST, 90.1fm KKFI Kansas City Community Radio, streaming live audio www.kkfi.org Producer/host Maria Vasquez Boyd welcomes artists GK Callahan & Laura White, Consuelo Cruz Belger Arts, & Cody Joliff Powell Gardens CEO, Director Teisha M. Bankston & Artistic Director Unicorn Theater Ernie Nolan. GK CALLAHAN & LAURA WHITE- Englewood Art Center presents Laura White- In Full Bloom, a solo exhibition by KC blind artist Laura White. On view from March 20 through May 16, 2026, with an opening reception on Friday, March 20 at 6:00 PM.“You have never seen anything like this — neither have I.” —White In Full Bloom is an immersive, cheeky, tactile exhibition featuring beaded quilts and sculptural works created from beads and found materials. Inspired by the artist's love of gardening and nature, the work draws from her favorite flowers- flowers she can no longer see, but continues to engage with through memory and touch. White's practice expands the tradition of American quilt-making into a richly textured visual and sensory language, expressed through bold, large- scale works. Drawing on her background in graphic design, White constructs her quilts through a monumental reinterpretation of fused beading toys, resulting in surfaces that pulse with color, pattern, labor, and intention. The imagery within each work emerges from White's visual memory, formed before she lost her eyesight due to retinitis pigmentosa and usher syndrome. Because of her limited vision, White often collaborates with friends and family in selecting colors, embedding each piece with a communal authorship that mirrors the social histories of traditional quilts. The result is work that is at once deeply personal and collective. Art reentered White's life in 2016 through a collaborative project that reignited her studio practice and led to local recognition. Her work has since been exhibited in the KC area and at institutions, including the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art. In Full Bloom marks a significant moment in White's artistic journey — not a return, but a flourishing. The exhibition invites viewers to slow down, to experience art through touch, memory, and presence, and to reconsider long-held assumptions about vision, access, and who art is for. About Englewood Arts: Englewood Arts Center is dedicated to assisting the community through development of residential and commercial incentives, public art, art events, art programs, philanthropy and community outreach solutions, which result in a thriving community with engagement and pride.

Bankston About the Show: Don't Touch My Hair Written by Douglas Lyons | Directed by Teisha M. Bankston Don't Touch My Hair is an exploration of Black womanhood, identity, and cultural ownership, with a sharp comedic wit. The play follows lifelong best friends Eemani and Jade, who, during a casual afternoon together, are launched into a surreal hallucination. It's a journey that transports them through time to confront historical and cultural oppressors. Through humor, imagination, and sharp dialogue, the two women confront the past to reclaim their power. The play is filled with satire and social commentary, using comedy as a lens for examining serious social issues. Rather than centering pain, Don't Touch My Hair creates space for laughter, reflection, and conversation. Why It Matters Don't Touch My Hair's power comes from shifting the conversation about racial injustice and confronting it through humor and the joyful bond of women. It invites audiences to engage with complex issues in a way that is thought-provoking and deeply human. Key Themes & Takeaways Black Identity At its core, the play examines the significance of Blackness as both a personal and political expression. It challenges audiences to consider who “owns” culture and what it means to reclaim it. Boundaries “Don't touch my hair” represents the right to personal space, respect, and self-definition. The play highlights how Black women's bodies and identities are open for commentary, and pushes back against that norm. The “Angry Black Woman” Stereotype The story interrogates the societal expectation that Black women must shrink themselves to be accepted. It confronts stereotypes that label assertiveness as anger, and instead presents characters who are expressive, complex, and unapologetically themselves. Comedy as a Tool for Confrontation Rather than approaching racism solely through trauma, the play uses humor to disarm and engage. By making audiences laugh, it opens the door for deeper reflection on difficult topics without centering harm done to Black people. Friendship & Joy Eemani and Jade's relationship is a common thread throughout the story. Their bond reflects the importance of safe spaces where Black women can exist fully, speak freely, and find joy while navigating challenges. Eemani and Jade light up to unwind, but their blunt is laced with more than weed. A wild hallucination gives them superpowers to confront the past in a hilarious, eye-opening journey. This electrifying play celebrates Black womanhood and self-discovery.

The installation will be on view May 2 through June 21, 2026, in the Conservatory at Powell Gardens. The piece created as part of the Fountain Project, titled Teaming with Life, will launch the Gardens' spring art-focused event, Painted Garden. Selected through a national call for artists, the Fountain Project brings together an eight-person collective of glassmakers from across the United States: Abigail Amundson, Michael Carson, Keegan O'Brien, Jacqueline Polofka, Ori Shir, Lauryl Sidwell, Brandon Smith, and Tyler Suter. The team includes three lead gaffers and six assistants who worked collaboratively to fabricate and install the large-scale piece. The artists gathered at the Belger Glass Annex to create the fountain's intricate functional and decorative components using traditional glassblowing techniques before assembling the installation onsite at Powell Gardens. Their work transforms the Conservatory into a tranquil retreat inspired by the landscapes of the Midwest prairie. At the center of the space, the fountain is adorned with luminous blown-glass forms that echo the shapes and colors of prairie blossoms. Soft golds, lavender tones, and prairie blues shimmer in the light, creating a peaceful atmosphere where visitors are invited to slow down, sit in a rocking chair, and enjoy the interplay of glass, water, and spring blooms. The result is a serene environment where art, nature, and heritage come together in quiet harmony. About the Artists • Abigail Amundson is an emerging multimedia artist based in Corning, New York, whose work explores the intersection of nature and spirituality. She recently graduated from Bowling Green State University and works with the Corning Museum of Glass Hot Glass team. • Michael Carson, originally from Indiana, focuses on functional blown glass inspired by historical Venetian techniques. He has worked with studios across the Midwest and with the Corning Museum of Glass Hot Glass team. • Keegan O'Brien, based in Kansas City, earned his BFA from Bowling Green State University.

Prime contractor teaming is one of the fastest paths into federal contracting — but only if you know how to find the right primes and reach out the right way. In this episode, Eric Coffey walks through the exact outreach framework he uses with a real cybersecurity and AI startup to get in front of prime contractors, book capability briefings, and position the company as a teaming partner or subcontractor on active government contracts. What you'll learn in this episode: How to use federal spending data to identify the right prime contractors — Eric demonstrates a live search using OpenCube IQ, filtering by NAICS code, state, and agency to surface realistic teaming targets instead of just Lockheed and Northrop Grumman The two-track teaming approach — Understand when a prime is your customer (buying your tech in-house) versus a teaming partner (combining your capabilities on a joint pursuit), and how to structure your outreach accordingly Why vendor and supplier portal registration matters before the email — Many primes have their own registration systems, and registering first gives your outreach a credible anchor point How to write a prime contractor outreach email that actually gets a response — Eric breaks down the structure: lead with their win, connect your solution to their active scope, and make a specific ask — not just "here's what we do" How to apply this same framework when reaching out directly to agency contracting offices — including contract commands like Aberdeen Proving Grounds, where you must name specific contacts to get anywhere EPISODE CHAPTERS:  0:00 – Welcome to the Federal Help Center Podcast  0:27 – Working With a Cybersecurity and AI Startup in Govcon 1:25 – Two Ways to Work With Prime Contractors: Customer or Teaming Partner 2:00 – Using Spending Data to Find the Right Primes and Agencies 3:00 – Filtering by State and Agency to Narrow Your Target List 4:20 – Researching Which Primes Are Winning at Specific Agency Offices 5:13 – Checking Prime Contractor Vendor and Supplier Portals First 6:10 – Real Outreach Example: Teaming Pitch to AMA on a NASA Contract 7:06 – How to Reach Agency Contracting Offices the Same Way  7:35 – Directing Your Outreach to the Right Person, Not the Inbox 8:05 – Community CTA and Closing    Join a community of small business owners helping each other break into and grow in federal contracting.

In this heartfelt episode of Whole Hearted Leadership Coaching Conversations, host Lantz Howard sits down with longtime friend Dr. Jay Raines, CEO of LeadersQ and author of the new book Culture Brand: A Proven Framework for Building a Culture That Wins.Jay traces his path from nonprofit leadership and launching a leadership development firm in India (working with Toyota and startups) to returning to the U.S. in 2016 and growing LeadersQ—where he and his team have delivered thousands of coaching hours to over 80 Chick-fil-A owner-operators and hundreds of other leaders.The conversation blends personal vulnerability and practical wisdom:Protecting marriage through weekly “Sunday night board meetings”The family-balanced, multi-year journey of writing his bookHow running brought mental clarity—and how a shattered shin during a half-marathon forced him to confront absence of presence, learn dependence, and cultivate peace and a victor mindsetJay unveils his Culture Brand framework—a Venn diagram that balances three essentials:Results — excellence, accountability, goal-driven performanceTeaming — collaboration, encouragement, developing othersCharacter — coachability, dependability, ownership, attitudeCharacter serves as the “glue,” integrating results and relationships. He illustrates this with stories from introducing servant leadership in hierarchical Indian business cultures and real client transformations.The episode closes with a striking metaphor: the Dodda Alada Mara (Big Banyan Tree) in Bangalore—a single tree spanning acres, thriving through interconnected “feeder” trunks long after the original center died—symbolizing cultures that endure and scale beyond the founder.Key TakeawaysGuard sacred relational time (weekly spouse check-ins) as a core leadership habit.Physical discipline sharpens mental clarity and reveals blind spots—suffering often exposes where we're not truly present.Lead from an “empty cup” (building relational trust) rather than a “full cup” (relying on authority)—it multiplies impact through abundance instead of scarcity.Assess your team across Results, Teaming, and Character; celebrate strengths, but transparently tackle weaknesses—starting with yourself.Intentionally build cultures that scale and leave a living legacy.--Learn more about coaching with Lantz Howard and discover how you can lead wholeheartedly in your true identity.

We are back in the Spooky Shed, with Liam Holmes—podcaster, skeptic-turned-paranormal investigator, and host of The Spooky Shed Podcast. What began as a curious exploration into the unknown has transformed Liam's world: as the saying goes, when you look into the paranormal, it looks back.Join us as Liam delivers a riveting update on the past six months that shattered his skepticism and turned him into a full-time believer in high strangeness. From paranormal activity in his home to an intense overnight investigation at 30 East Drive—the unassuming 1950s semi-detached council house in Pontefract, West Yorkshire, infamous as one of Britain's (and possibly Europe's) most haunted locations. Home to the notorious Black Monk poltergeist—often called "Fred"—this site is widely regarded for some of the most violent and documented paranormal activity in history.Teaming up with the New Dawn Paranormal team, Liam faced truly terrifying phenomena: physical torment—including scratches—and activity that defies rational explanation. The night took an even darker turn during a session of mirror scrying—an ancient divination practice using reflective surfaces like black mirrors to commune with spirits, glimpse other realms, or peer into the past and future. In the dim light, Liam experienced something so profoundly unsettling that it pushed him to his limits.We also dive into the strange activity now unfolding in Liam's own home, alongside unsettling ghostly encounters involving his family—proof that once the veil is lifted, the weirdness often follows you home.Gear up and get freaky with official Let's Get Freaky merchandise!

Educators often get a front row seat to see their students realizing their potential. Those lightbulb moments when a new concept clicks are what a lot of educators say keep them going. Intervention Specialist Elena North and Occupational Therapist Maddy Schnabel recently got a front row seat to see their student, Cy, write his name for the first time - something that was possible because of the custom assistive device they designed and 3-D printed to enable him to use crayons, markers, and pens, just like his peers. In this episode, Maddy and Elena share their ongoing journey to overcome challenges to help unlock Cy's potential. And they share their dreams for Cy's future: Whatever he dreams for himself.SEE CY IN ACTION | Watch this short social media video to see Cy using his new assistive device for yourself.EXPLORE THE POSSIBILITIES | Educators who are considering whether 3-D printed devices can help their students are welcome to pick Maddy and Elena's brains about what they've learned so far in the design and printing process.

In this episode, Eric Coffie sits down with RJ Blake, Founder & CEO of Blake Wilson Group, for a real conversation about what it actually takes to build a GovCon business—from the first dollar of revenue to growing into prime contracts. RJ shares how his early "arena mindset" (trying, failing, refining) shaped his entrepreneurial journey, why most founders get stuck in analysis paralysis, and how he built revenue early by solving a painful problem for large primes: hard-to-fill talent with clearances and deep domain expertise. They also get honest about the realities nobody glamorizes—lawsuits as a business tactic, shutdowns slowing productivity, why cash and credit lines keep you alive, and why relationships are the one thing AI will never replace. Bottom line: if you want longevity in this game, you need preparation, community, and a plan you're willing to evolve. Key Takeaways "Luck" favors prepared contractors: You don't win sitting on the couch—you win by being in the arena, iterating, and staying ready. Sub-first can be the smartest move: RJ spent ~5 years building as a subcontractor, stacking cash, and systemizing before pushing hard into prime work. Targeted strategy beats chasing everything: Go where revenue is closest, understand your real value proposition, and treat relationships as your unfair advantage—because AI can't build trust for you.

The right rituals—and the right conversations—can transform how your team collaborates.Strong collaboration starts with thoughtful practices and clear communication. As Molly Sands, Head of the Teamwork Lab at Atlassian, emphasizes, the teams that thrive are the ones that regularly pause to align on what matters and how they're progressing. “You want to know if you're making progress,” she notes, “and you want ways to redirect early—before you're scrambling at the end.”Through her research with teams across Atlassian and around the world, Sands has seen how small, consistent habits—monthly goal reviews, transparent updates, shared spaces for spontaneous interaction—build alignment, psychological safety, and momentum. And in hybrid and distributed environments, she highlights how “bursty” collaboration patterns and intentional meeting design help teams move faster without burning out.In this Quick Thinks episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, Sands and host Matt Abrahams break down the rituals that make teamwork work, from OKR check-ins to collaboration hours to the rotating Chief Vibes Officer. No matter where your team sits, Sands shows how intentional communication unlocks connection, speed, and more satisfying ways of working together.Episode Reference Links:Molly SandsEp.241 Team Spirit: How to Make Group Work WorkConnect:Premium Signup >>>> Think Fast Talk Smart PremiumEmail Questions & Feedback >>> hello@fastersmarter.ioEpisode Transcripts >>> Think Fast Talk Smart WebsiteNewsletter Signup + English Language Learning >>> FasterSmarter.ioThink Fast Talk Smart >>> LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTubeMatt Abrahams >>> LinkedInChapters:(00:00) - Introduction (02:43) - Measuring Collaboration the Right Way (05:35) - Training Leaders & Goal Rituals (07:49) - Creating Space for Spontaneous Work (11:20) - Making In-Person Time Count (11:44) - Three High-Impact Team Gatherings (14:00) - Supporting Diverse Communication Styles (16:08) - Conclusion  ********Thank you to our sponsors.  These partnerships support the ongoing production of the podcast, allowing us to bring it to you at no cost.

The secret to effective teamwork and collaboration.To collaborate, we have to communicate. As Molly Sands knows, “The more that we can get on the same page, the more effective we are.”Sands is a behavioral scientist and the head of the Teamwork Lab at Atlassian, where she researches how teams can collaborate more effectively and efficiently, especially in distributed and hybrid work environments. As she's seen in her research and within her own team, “People can accomplish a lot more together when they work well together.” The key to unlocking that potential lies in communication that aligns people not just in their activity, but in their deeper goals and vision. “The best work happens when you start by asking why,” she says, “getting people to really understand: why is this a problem, why do we wanna solve it, and how are we uniquely positioned to do that? The more that we can map this out together, the more effective our teams tend to be.”In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, Sands and host Matt Abrahams discuss strategies for effective collaboration, from “page-led” meetings and asynchronous video messages to using AI as a collaborator. Whether your team is working face-to-face or across time zones, Sands' insights show how better communication is the key to better collaboration.Episode Reference Links:Molly SandsEp.241 Team Spirit: How to Make Group Work WorkConnect:Premium Signup >>>> Think Fast Talk Smart PremiumEmail Questions & Feedback >>> hello@fastersmarter.ioEpisode Transcripts >>> Think Fast Talk Smart WebsiteNewsletter Signup + English Language Learning >>> FasterSmarter.ioThink Fast Talk Smart >>> LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTubeMatt Abrahams >>> LinkedInChapters:(00:00) - Introduction (02:32) - How the Teamwork Lab Works (04:03) - Top Challenges for Teams (04:37) - Clarifying Goals & Alignment (07:19) - AI as a Collaborative Partner (09:25) - Atlassian's AI Onboarding Buddy (12:49) - Rethinking Meetings (15:58) - Three Types of Work Time (17:17) - Replacing Meetings with Asynchronous Video (20:02) - The Final Three Questions (24:11) - Conclusion  ********This episode is sponsored by Grammarly.

On this episode of the GovCon Giants Podcast, Eric sits down with Mario Antwine, Yale and Howard grad, M&A strategist, and new owner of Pearl Interactive Network, to break down how a finance guy bought an eight-figure federal contractor and is now scaling it like a private equity platform. Mario shares why he targeted GovCon specifically, how he acquired Pearl sight unseen, and the operational upgrades he's made to modernize a 20-year-old business process outsourcing company serving HHS, DOD, VA, and DHS. You'll hear how he thinks about systems, advisors, and culture, why he's aggressively hunting small-business teaming partners, and why the future of GovCon belongs to companies that pair mission-driven work with tech-enabled innovation.  Key Takeaways: Buy, don't just build: Mario used acquisition—backed by strong advisors and a clear thesis—to enter GovCon and rapidly step into large, long-term federal contracts instead of starting from scratch. Teaming as a growth engine: Pearl is actively looking for small-business partners in digital transformation, cloud/ServiceNow, behavioral health, automation, and IT help desk across HHS, Defense Health, VA, and DHS. Platforms > one-off contracts: The winners in the next phase of GovCon will be those who build repeatable systems, tech-enabled delivery models, and mission-focused platforms that agencies and primes can't imagine operating without.
