What if the reason your best ideas keep falling flat has nothing to do with the quality of the idea?In this episode, Michael Reddington sits down with John Bates, a globally recognized leadership and executive communications coach who has worked with organizations including NASA, Intuit, and Johnson and Johnson. John has delivered multiple TED Talks, coached executives and leaders on every continent, and built a career around one core conviction: communication is not logical. It is biological.This conversation will fundamentally change how you think about every high-stakes conversation you walk into. John breaks down why the ancient part of your brain makes decisions before your logical brain even gets a vote, why trying to establish your credibility usually destroys it, and why the most powerful thing a speaker can do is stop talking about themselves.John unpacks the neuroscience behind why people say yes, yes, yes and then no, how to build emotional credibility before you say a single persuasive word, and the difference between vulnerability that connects and vulnerability that costs you. If you lead people, sell ideas, or speak in front of any audience at all, this episode will give you a new framework for what it actually means to land your message where it counts.What You'll Learn in This EpisodeWhy communication is biological and why logic alone will almost never win a high-stakes conversationHow the paleomammalian brain makes decisions before the logical brain even registers themWhy the yes, yes, yes, no pattern in sales and negotiations is not a lie but a missing emotional connectionWhat emotional credibility is, why it needs to come first, and how to establish it fastHow insightful vulnerability builds trust faster than any credential or accomplishmentWhy your credibility is already established before you walk into the room and trying to prove it only hurts youThe difference between curating for your audience versus dumping everything you know on themWhy saying "I told you so" is proof you failed to communicate, not proof you were rightHow to reframe public speaking anxiety by shifting your attention from yourself to the people you are servingWhy the best ideas, candidates, and products often lose because communication broke down, not because they were wrongChapters(00:00) Why Communication Is Biological, Not Logical(04:24) How the Paleomammalian Brain Makes Decisions Before You Do(08:08) The Yes Yes Yes No Problem and What It Really Means(13:25) What Emotional Credibility Is and Why It Has to Come First(16:59) Origin Stories and the Power of Insightful Vulnerability(22:06) "Don't Insult the Listening" and the Lesson of Trusting Your Audience(26:56) Why Communication Is a Function of Leadership(28:33) Taking Responsibility for What People Hear, Not Just What You Say(33:05) How to Make the Complicated Simple by Curating, Not Dumping(41:37) How to Beat Public Speaking Anxiety by Serving Instead of PerformingAbout the GuestJohn Bates is an executive leadership communications coach, keynote speaker, and entrepreneur who has spent over 15 years helping leaders, teams, and organizations communicate in ways that actually move people. His clients include NASA, Intuit, Johnson and Johnson, Boston Scientific, and Accenture. He has delivered multiple TED Talks, been featured in media around the world, and built a global practice around the idea that great communication is not about saying the right things. It is about making sure the right things land.

How can you reclaim your truth and your power?We're diving into Horse Barbie, Geena Rocero's radiant and illuminating memoir that shows her journey from a one-room home in Manila, Philippians, to trans pageants, from the perfume counter at Macy's to New York fashion sets, and from private, suffocating, fear to a TED Talk that reframed transness as power. Along the way, we discuss her father's complicated love, her mother's unwavering belief and reflect on what can spark when the people who matter most tell you there's nothing wrong with you. Geena's story and memoir widens from personal to political: pre-colonial history without gendered pronouns, the costs of documentation that doesn't match your face, and the power of her viral TED Talk to turn shame into strength. We sit with the big questions: Why is femininity seen as a threat? How do entertainment and policy diverge? What changes when a community moves from visibility to rights? By the end, Horse Barbie reads like a manual for courage. It shows how story becomes strategy and how one woman's voice can help many step out of the shadows.If you care about trans rights, immigration, pageant culture, modeling, or the way love can change a life, this conversation brings nuance, warmth, and a clear takeaway: policy matters, family matters, and stories move hearts faster than arguments ever will.

This week on That Tech Pod, we sit down with Sebastian Wernicke, a globally recognized expert on data and AI strategy whose TED Talks have been viewed more than five million times. Sebastian argues that successful AI adoption has far less to do with choosing the right tools and far more to do with building the right culture.We explore why "data-driven" organizations often struggle to make better decisions, and why Sebastian prefers the idea of being "data-inspired" instead. He explains how leaders can create cultures built on evidence, curiosity, and better questions rather than dashboards and reports. The conversation also takes a fresh look at Shadow AI. Rather than treating employees' use of unauthorized AI tools as simply a security problem, Sebastian explains why it can be a signal that workers are frustrated by broken processes, inefficient workflows, and organizational bottlenecks. We also tackle the growing debate around whether AI is entering bubble territory, what executives misunderstand about AI demand, and how massive investments like Kirkland & Ellis's reported $500 million AI initiative could reshape competition across industries. Will AI become a game where only the largest organizations can afford to compete, or will smaller companies find new ways to stay ahead? Finally, Sebastian shares examples from his book Data Inspired that show how organizations can unlock the value of data not through technology purchases, but through culture, leadership, and better decision-making habits. If you're trying to separate AI hype from business reality, this episode offers a practical roadmap for what actually drives transformation.A leading expert in data and AI strategy, Sebastian Wernicke believes that the key to unlocking data's power lies not in technology, but in leaders fostering a culture of evidence and inquiry. For over 20 years, Sebastian has guided organizations around the world to harness the power of data and AI to achieve breakthrough transformation. Sebastian's ability to make complex topics around data accessible, engaging, and actionable has made him a sought-after speaker and workshop facilitator. His three acclaimed TED Talks have reached over 5 million viewers.

My Guest - Tina Seelig has spent 27 years at Stanford teaching some of the world's most ambitious people how to see and seize opportunities. She's a neuroscientist, the executive director of Knight Hennessy Scholars, and the author of 18 books. Her TED Talk on luck has been viewed over 3.4 million times. Her newest book is called What I Wish I Knew About Luck: A Crash Course on Turning Aspirations into Achievements. Key Learnings Tina's dad died at 99 and a half. Three weeks before his first great-grandbaby was born. He was still driving, going to three dinner parties a week, and talking to Tina every day. His curiosity was his superpower. He gave 66 lectures in his retirement community over 20 years, on topics ranging from nuclear weapons to climate change. Train yourself to be a professional noticer. When Tina's dad walked his grandkids into a new room, he'd give them a minute, then say "Shut your eyes." How many doors? Windows? What color is the carpet? Assume there's a million dollars in every room. It's up to you to find it. Opportunities are ubiquitous. You just have to look. Take the headphones off. The most powerful things happen when you engage with strangers. Standing in line. On the plane. Walking through campus. Tina sat next to a stranger named Mark on a plane. He was a publisher. He said no to her book proposal. She kept the relationship going. Years later, his editor approved the same proposal she had given Mark. Within two weeks, she had a contract. Wear something that invites conversation. A logo. A backpack from a conference. A college baseball shirt. Give the world a hook to start with you. Fortune is what happens to you. Luck requires action. Most people confuse the two and miss the chance to claim their agency. "With my luck, it's gonna rain." Reframe it: "With OUR luck, it's gonna be a beautiful sunny day." The reframe changes what you see.  Luck seldom sails solo. Most luck comes through other people. Cultivating meaningful relationships is the most underrated lucky behavior. You don't get a job. You get the keys to the building. The visible work isn't what gets you ahead. The invisible work is. Between stimulus and response is a choice. (Viktor Frankl) Within the constraints of fortune, agency is everything. "Tina, you think like a scientist." One sentence from a professor changed Tina's life. Leaders, know the weight of your words. Twenty years later, Tina wrote that professor a thank-you note. Twenty years after that, his granddaughter wrote back. They had read part of Tina's letter at his funeral. When a student made a bad decision, Tina's first instinct was to punish. She paused. Said, "Help me understand what happened." The whole community learned what empathy and humility look like in leadership. Unresolved conflict sucks the energy out of your day. Resolve it. You become taller, lighter, more open to lucky things. Oliver Greenwald sent Tina a list of 10 ways he could help her with her book. Nothing on the list was exactly what she wanted. She hired him anyway, because of the initiative. Build the sail to catch the wind. Build the ship. Your internal work. Values. Story. Goals. Recruit the crew. The people in your world. Hoist the sail. What you do every single day. Your core values are the keel of your ship. Without them, the first strong wind capsizes you. Keep a failure resume. Document what didn't work and what you'll do differently. Don't perseverate. Move on. "It's all good in the end. If it's not good, it's not the end." We're always in the middle of the story. Tina sends thank-you notes every single day. Five or ten minutes. Three or four sentences. Closes the loop. Builds the relationship. Don't end the dinner without making the next date. Most people drop the ball. Get it on the calendar before you leave. The instant you think something positive about someone, tell them. Be specific. Text. Email. Call. The instant. Tina's champagne moment: her newborn granddaughter at one year old. She just learned to turn over and looks so proud of herself. Reflection Questions What's on your failure resume right now that you haven't yet extracted the lesson from? Are you perseverating, or moving on? Whose thank-you note are you going to send today? Specific, genuine, unprompted.  Where in your life are you waiting for fortune and calling it bad luck? What is the action you've been avoiding because it requires you to put yourself out there?

Solomon teaches that while life is often unpredictable and unfair, we are not called to sit still in fear but to live wisely and faithfully. He encourages generous giving, consistent habits, calculated risks, and trusting God with outcomes we cannot control, knowing that faithful choices often bear fruit over time. He also warns against letting anger, bitterness, and vexation take root, comparing them to a poison that slowly shapes the heart. Instead, believers are called to cultivate joy, gratitude, spiritual disciplines, and a heavenly perspective, choosing daily to bless others, reject resentment, and walk in wisdom despite life's uncertainties.

In this episode of Talk of Fame, Kylie Montigney chats with Nick Bracks! Growing up in one of the most famous political families in Australia, Nick was exposed to life in the public eye since he was 12 years old. Struggling to cope with depression and anxiety through substance abuse, Nick first gained his own notoriety in his early 20s through a publicly documented car crash that nearly killed himself and his best friend. The drunk driving incident became a catalyst for Nick to turn his life around, exposing his mental health issues and allowing him to get the help he desperately needed. The media attention he gained after the crash led to a modelling career and an invitation to participate as a contestant on Dancing With The Stars. While on Dancing With The Stars, Nick took the opportunity to speak publicly about his battle with depression and anxiety, becoming a pioneer in mental health advocacy. Since then, Nick has developed a successful public speaking career on the topic, conducting over 1,000 talks at organisations around the world, including several TEDtalks. The “Neighbours” actor is also a successful entrepreneur, founding Move Your Mind Pty Ltd – a corporate wellness software for employees in construction and similar industries. Nick released his first bookwith publisher Wiley in 2021 and currently runs a podcast under the same name  – Move Your Mind in which is a podcast with the goal of breaking down and exploring the mindset of people who have excelled in careers across a range of industries.Follow Me:Instagram:@Officialkyliemontigney@TalkoffamepodFacebook:OfficialkyliemontigneyTalkoffameTwitter:@Kyliemontigney4About Me:Hi, I'm Kylie!

From the interconnected root systems she studied in her book Finding the Mother Tree to her ongoing work as an educator, Simard has learned to see the importance of cooperative efforts to share resources and knowledge. Joined in conversation by Seattle-based nature journalist Lynda Mapes, Simard expands these connections into a considerate exploration of the elaborate cycles of forest ecosystems, the challenges they currently face, and the intergenerational value they can provide through her new book When the Forest Breathes: Renewal and Resilience in the Natural World. Raised in a family of loggers committed to sensible forest stewardship, Simard has watched as modern practices and timber companies have left forests vulnerable to damage and depletion. In her research, Simard explores the finely honed cycles of regeneration forests inherently use to maintain themselves. From mushrooms breaking down logs to dying elder trees passing their genetic knowledge to younger growth, When the Forest Breathes presents these cycles as a key component in the protection and preservation of our forests. Working closely with Indigenous communities and the models of responsible forestry they've upheld over time, Simard examines the damage caused by industrialization and wide-scale human intervention– particularly the impact on the overstory's mother trees that are responsible for sharing intergenerational wisdom and supporting new growth. As Simard seeks to understand the importance of stewardship and how older lives can facilitate the conditions for new growth to flourish, she considers similar patterns of loss and regeneration in her own life. Savoring her final days with her ailing mother and watching her daughters grow into adults, Simard draws thoughtful parallels around what caretaking looks like within the forest and within our own communities. Animated by wonder and the urge to honor the tools that trees have honed over generations, When the Forest Breathes aims to use the lessons of the natural world to encourage paths of adaptability, resilience, cooperation, and valuing our forests. Dr. Suzanne Simard is the New York Times bestselling author of Finding the Mother Tree. She is a Professor of Forest Ecology at the University of British Columbia, where she leads The Mother Tree Project and co-directs the Belowground Ecosystem Group. Dr. Simard has earned a global reputation for pioneering research on tree connectivity and communication and the productivity, health, and biodiversity of forests. Her work has been published widely, with over 170 scientific articles in peer-reviewed journals, including Nature, Ecology, and Global Biology, and she has co-authored the book Climate Change and Variability. Her research has been communicated broadly through three TED Talks, TED Experiences, as well as articles and interviews in The New Yorker, National Geographic, NPR, CNN, and many more. She lives with her family in the mountains around Nelson, British Columbia. Lynda Mapes is a journalist, nature writer, and the author of six books on the natural and cultural history of the Pacific Northwest. Her previous publications include The Trees are Speaking and Orca: Shared Waters Shared Home. She was previously an environment reporter for the Seattle Times, focusing on nature, natural history, Native cultures and governments, and Pacific Northwest environmental news, where she was named a finalist for a team award for the Pulitzer Prize for Local Reporting in 2025.

We are beyond excited to bring you a conversation that had us completely losing track of time...meet Carey Theil, Executive Director of GREY2K USA Worldwide, calling in all the way from Boston, Massachusetts, USA! Carey is co-founder of the most powerful greyhound advocacy organisation on the planet. His organisation played a key role in shutting down 46 greyhound racing tracks in the US, and 44 states declaring it illegal. He's got a TED Talk with co-founder Christine Dorchak on 25 years of activism, a PhD-level approach to policy, and interestingly, he's also a national chess master!

For decades, organisations have obsessed over employee engagement. But what if we've been measuring the wrong thing? What if engagement isn't the key to organisational performance after all? In this episode, Katie sits down with happiness researcher, statistician and author Nic Marks to explore why happiness is the foundation of performance. Nic has spent more than 30 years studying what makes people and societies flourish. His TED Talk on the Happy Planet Index has been viewed more than two million times. His new book, Happiness is a Serious Business, challenges one of the most widely accepted ideas in management. Instead of focusing on how much discretionary effort employees are willing to give, Nic argues that leaders should start by asking a much simpler question: are people happy? Katie and Nic explore the limitations of employee engagement, why happiness is a better predictor of performance than many leaders realise and how organisations can measure what really matters. Along the way, they discuss why boredom may be more damaging than stress, why feelings are data, how relationships shape our experience of work and Nic's deceptively simple formula for creating better teams: Measure. Meet. Repeat.

Part memoir by the daughter of the iconic comedian Richard Pryor, part exploration of the historical and contemporary use of the N-word, this hybrid book peels back the curtain on the life of Pryor and exposes the complex history and legacy of the most perplexing word in the American lexicon, a word he helped popularize.When a white student quoted a line from Blazing Saddles, blurting out the N-word in the middle of class, Professor Elizabeth Pryor froze. In that moment, she was shockingly confronted with not only the most notorious slur in the United States, but the line quoted by the student was one her father - the iconic comedian Richard Pryor - had written.The N-word is one of the most perplexing, controversial and misunderstood words in the American lexicon. After the incident in her classroom, Professor Pryor dove into her research to better understand the history of the word, and processed it with her students, eventually emerging as a leading scholar on the n-word as witnessed in her popular Ted Talk, "Why it's so hard to talk about the N-word."The more she learned, the more Elizabeth's own memories of the N-word rose to the surface. Growing up the Black and Jewish biracial daughter of a groundbreaking Black comedian - navigating the world her Jewish mother showed her and the Hollywood her father shared - meant the word was part of the most painful, but also tender moments of her life. Her reckoning with this word meant a reckoning with memories of her father, who skyrocketed to fame in the 1970's, making the n-word a hallmark of his act.SOMETHING WE SAID: Richard Pryor, a Notorious Word and Me is a hybrid: part memoir of the daughter of a legendary comedian, part exploration of the historical and contemporary use of the n-word, seamlessly braided together. Elizabeth not only peels back the curtain on life with Richard Pryor, a comedian Jerry Seinfeld has called the "Picasso of our profession," but also our country's legacy of racism and Black resilience.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-unplugged-totally-uncut--994165/support.

On this week's episode of Droughtlander Diaries Podcast, we are diving into one of our favorite Rapidfire questions!When we interview cast members, we always ask: If you had to give a five-minute TED Talk on any subject, what would it be about? Sarah's answer is always Taylor Swift, while Jess's is the Enneagram. Other than Outlander, these are the topics we're most passionate about and could easily turn into full TED Talks.So this week, we're bringing Sarah's TED Talk to life as we explore the surprising ways Taylor Swift's lyrics seem to mirror some of our favorite Outlander storylines and characters. Joining us for the conversation is our friend Shani, a fellow Outlander fan, Taylor Swift enthusiast and content creator, who brings some fantastic insights and perspectives to the discussion.Now, we know not all of our listeners are Swifties and that's ok! This is all meant to be a fun summer episode to help pass the time during the Drought before Season 2 of Blood of My Blood arrives. Whether you're a lifelong Taylor fan or just here for the Outlander discussion, we hope you'll enjoy this lighthearted look at the connections between two stories we love.We also created a Spotify playlist featuring all of the songs discussed in this episode.

11 years ago I gave a TEDx talk that has now had nearly 9 million views. I haven't watched it back in years, so today I'm rewatching it live, sharing what still resonates, and telling you the parts I never spoke about on that stage. WE'LL TALK ABOUT... The live experiment I opened the talk with, and the man in the audience whose reason for volunteering stopped me in my tracks. Why what's going on in your head has more impact on your results than almost anything else. The period of my life where I went from optimistic go-getter to completely self-sabotaging, and what that actually felt like. The heart palpitations, the ECG machine, and what my body was trying to tell me before I finally listened. Why I packed my bags and flew to Australia looking for an epiphany. The E-Myth funeral exercise that changed everything for me. How I programmed my mind for success, and why I still use these exact tools today. I also share the things that didn't make it into the talk. Honestly, watching this back, I want to hug that version of myself for being brave enough to get up there. Because the biggest thing standing between you and where you want to be is almost always you. And the moment you have awareness on that, everything can shift.  Let me know in the comments what landed most for you. Carrie xx

What separates leaders who truly connect from leaders who just sound polished?In this episode of The Authority Company Podcast, Joe Pardavila sits down with executive communication coach and author Cathy Bonczek to unpack the real reason so many smart leaders struggle to connect.Drawing from years coaching executives at Fortune 500 companies, private equity firms, and major financial institutions, Cathy explains why perfection often kills authenticity, how executive presence actually works, and why the best communicators focus on connection over performance. They discuss the hidden dangers of over-rehearsing, why scripted communication feels fake, and how leaders can build confidence without sounding robotic. Cathy also breaks down the role of emotional connection in public speaking, the mistakes executives make during presentations, and why audiences respond more to honesty than polish. Joe and Cathy also explore TED Talks, media training, PowerPoint overload, authenticity in leadership, and how communication habits quietly shape careers.If you want to become a stronger communicator, a better leader, or simply feel more confident speaking in high-pressure situations, this conversation delivers practical advice you can use immediately. ⏱️ CHAPTERS 00:00 Intro00:43 Why leaders chase perfection in communication02:57 The pressure of leadership in the social media era04:51 Why CEOs often struggle in interviews07:00 Authenticity vs oversharing08:34 The performance side of leadership communication09:53 What executive presence really means11:11 Are great communicators born or trained?11:53 The danger of being perceived as “too nice”14:40 The communication habit that holds careers back15:16 Rehearsing to converse instead of sounding polished17:03 Why scripted podcast interviews fail19:09 How leaders become comfortable speaking naturally20:34 The PowerPoint presentation problem25:16 What separates great speakers from average ones26:07 First impressions and confidence27:32 How to stop feeling invisible in meetings29:00 Final thoughts

Most of us never stop to ask who we really are. We just keep wearing whatever mask the day hands us — the work one, the friend one, the parent one. Do that long enough, and the mask becomes the face. You wake up living a borrowed identity and wonder why nothing lights you up anymore. Today I want to help you find the real one underneath. Once you know who you are, your vision stops being a slogan and starts pulling you out of bed. Press play and let's dig in. Featured Story My friend Croy ran across America — a hundred marathons in just over a hundred days, coast to coast. There was a TED Talk, a book, the whole thing. Then the running stopped, and so did he. For a couple of years, he drifted, trying to figure out who he was without the miles. Then, six months ago, he showed up on a call and surprised all of us. He said, "My identity is that of an adventurer." He's retaking his Badwater record across Death Valley this August. The moment he accepted who he'd always been, the drifting ended. Now he can't wait to get up and run. Important Points Your vision doesn't lead your identity — your identity leads your vision, so get clear on who you really are first. Whatever mask you wear day after day slowly becomes who you actually are, so choose the role you play carefully. Nothing you do is purely for someone else — own that it starts with you, and the old guilt finally loses its grip. Memorable Quotes Your legacy is being built right now — whatever you do today becomes your legacy someday, so go build it on purpose. Wear a surface-level role day after day, and you begin to believe it, until eventually it quietly becomes who you are. There is nothing you do exclusively for somebody else — own that it's for you, and you stop burning out and quitting. Scott's Three-Step Approach Start by naming your true identity — the who-you-are that lives in your heart, not the mask you put on for the office. Then let that identity cast your vision, asking who you help, how, and why, until the vague slogan turns specific. Finally, act on that vision every day, so the doing reinforces who you are and fires up your engine to get out of bed. Chapters 0:02 - Today is all about your identity and vision 1:27 - Firing up the anticipation engine that pulls you up 2:58 - Why "I just want to help a million people" falls short 5:26 - The mask you wear long enough becomes who you are 8:14 - Your legacy is ego-driven, and that's okay 9:33 - The man who knew his identity in a heartbeat 11:54 - Croy trades drifting for an adventurer's life Connect With Me Search for the Daily Boost on YouTube, Apple Podcasts, and Spotify If you enjoy the Daily Boost, you might like Notes From Scott.

Today I sit down with Adam Vibe Gunton - bestselling author, founder of the nonprofit Recovered on Purpose, and owner of a 68-bed treatment center in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. Adam went from being given cocaine at age 12 and starring as the defensive captain of Columbine High School's state championship football team, to a homeless heroin addict who overdosed in 2015 - and has the police body cam footage to prove it. He's the only person I know of who showed their own dead body during a TED Talk. In this episode, you'll learn: Why a decade of 12-step meetings still left Adam unable to stay sober, and what the critical missing piece was The "wrong" sponsor who turned out to be exactly right - and why everything you've been told about finding a sponsor might be backwards The spiritual experience at an IHOP that marked the last day Adam ever used Why people like Adam literally die without the 12 steps being done quickly and rigorously How November 6th keeps showing up as the most important date of his life How his nonprofit is making sure nobody has to spend Christmas on a trap house floor calling treatment centers who won't pick up

Your personal brand is not limited to your LinkedIn profile, your networking skills, or how you show up at work. It is how people experience you in every room you enter, including your relationships, your dating life, your confidence, your boundaries, and the stories you tell yourself about your own worth.In this episode of Branding Room Only, Paula T. Edgar sits down with love educator, coach, author, and two-time TED speaker Francesca Hogi for a candid conversation about the connection between personal branding, self-worth, dating, and authenticity. From her unconventional path from corporate law to matchmaking and coaching to her insights on modern dating culture, Francesca shares why so many people are taught to perform for acceptance instead of choosing themselves first.Together, Paula and Francesca unpack the conditioning that teaches women to wait to be chosen, the difference between attraction and alignment, how relationship patterns often mirror professional patterns, and why discernment matters just as much in love as it does in business. They also dive into dating apps, intuition, confidence, loneliness, authenticity, and what it really means to bring your full self into every room you enter.Honest, funny, reflective, and deeply relatable, this conversation will have you thinking differently about love, identity, and the way you move through the world.1:16 – What personal brand means to Francesca, how she'd describe herself, her lifelong motto, and why she calls herself “a weirdo” about music5:37 – How growing up in New York City influenced Francesca's understanding and appreciation of people7:40 – The question Francesca hated being asked as a child, and how the only answer she had influenced her professional life (including her Survivor appearances)13:41 – How matchmaker Paul C. Bunson initially introduced Francesca to personal branding and inspired her career pivot into love and relationships16:31 – How love and dating connect to personal branding, self-worth, and what your romantic patterns reveal about how you actually see yourself21:31 – The "pick me" conditioning that trains people to treat dating like a job pitch, and what it looks like to show up differently27:10 – Why the list of must-haves for most dating people often has nothing to do with the relationship they want36:26 – Why lack of discernment is one of the most common dating mistakes Francesca sees, what it looks like when you don't have it, and what changes when you do41:29 – Why you don't need (and shouldn't overly depend on) a dating app, and a mindset shift in meeting people organically41:29 – Why you don't need a dating app to find love, and the mindset shift that opens up what Francesca calls the "meet cute" opportunity in everyday life52:09 – One thing Francesca will never compromise on, and the magic she brings to a standing room onlyConnect With Francesca HogiFrancesca Hogi is a love coach, guide, speaker, and mentor for people who are ready to start a new chapter in dating, find meaningful relationships, and live in alignment with their deepest values. Through her coaching, writing, and community (The True Love Society), she helps people create relationships that feel fulfilling and true to who they are. She has shared this work with hundreds of thousands of people through her client work, events, courses, TED talks, Dear Franny podcast, and How to Find True Love book.Before her journey into love and coaching, Francesca practiced corporate law for over a decade. She holds a B.S. in Producing for Electronic Media from Syracuse University and a J.D. from the University of Michigan Law School.

This conversation I have with my friend Laurie Shopland opened with a prayer, and what surfaced in that prayer set the tone for everything that followed. Laurie's story includes a stranger who walked up to her husband in a church lobby one Sunday, told him he was actually there to talk to her, and delivered a word so specific that she's read it at least once a week ever since. In this conversation, we trace how she got from ritual religion and real anger at God... to 4:30am morning prayer with her husband, a three-year TED Talk journey through two rejections, and what it looks like when God starts inviting you further out than feels financially safe.Laurie Shopland is a coach and speaker from Canada who works at the intersection of emotional wellbeing, identity, and truth-telling. She recently gave a TEDx Talk on truth-telling and the misuse of non-disclosure agreements, and she's on a path of what she describes as being a lighthouse to the nation.Here's what we explore:▪️ Why we discount what God says to us through other people... even when it's exactly right▪️ Laurie's faith story: from a denomination of ritual (not relationship), through loss and anger at God, to a Holy Spirit moment she didn't go looking for▪️ What secular corporate coaching looks like when you know every moment of peace is the Holy Spirit▪️ The fear underneath the invitation to bring God more explicitly into her work, and the financial scarcity sitting under that▪️ Three years and two rejections: the TED Talk journey and why the timing couldn't have been any earlier▪️ Learning to stop softening what you hear from God and just stand in it▪️ A vision of a clock and a little toy, and why those two images have become her daily anchorChapters:00:00 Intro and Introducing Laurie Shopland02:06 Opening Prayer03:32 The Vision Story: When God Confirmed Himself Through a Stranger09:41 Laurie's Faith Story: From Ritual Religion and Anger to a Holy Spirit Encounter13:58 Helping People Find Peace in Corporate Settings Without Saying "God"17:15 The Fear of Going Further With God-Language at Work20:41 Three Years, Two Rejections, and the Perfect Timing of a TED Talk27:20 What Daily Listening to God Actually Looks Like31:05 Learning to Speak With Authority About What You Hear From God40:50 The Clock and the Stillness: Trusting God's TimingIf something in this conversation landed for you, I'd just love for you to sit with it... and notice what God might want you to receive from it.

Sebastian Wernicke is a leading expert in data and AI strategy who has spent more than 20 years helping organizations—from startups to Fortune 500 companies—turn data into real-world transformation. Sebastian's work stands out because of his core belief that the power of data isn't unlocked through better technology—it's unlocked through better thinking. Through his consulting, speaking, and three TED Talks with over 5 million views, he's helped leaders rethink how they use data to drive meaningful change. His new book, Data Inspired, makes the case that the future belongs not to organizations that are merely data-driven, but to those that build a true culture of inquiry. In this episode we discuss the following: Data doesn't convince people. People convince people. Sebastian's fuel savings example captures this perfectly. A 20% improvement felt like a win to Sebastian, but like an accusation to the employee. So Sebastian repositioned it—not as a “big fix,” but as a gradual, step-by-step pilot—making it feel natural and allowing everyone to save face. And an underappreciate tool Sebastian uses to systematically think through motivations and constraints is checklist. What especially helps companies make the best use of data is psychological safety. Without it, the highest-paid opinion wins, and the data gets ignored. Data is more like an MRI than a clear cut verdict, so it's important to get people's perspectives because we can all look at the same data and see a different truth. If we want to use data more, we have to understand people better.

Best selling author Anna Malaika Tubbs stops by to tell us all about her book, Erased: What American Patriarchy Has Hidden from Us and helps us hone in on real time examples of our Patriarchy is being weaponized today. Anna unpacks how the United States has constructed a unique - and often invisible - gendered hierarchy, one that is inextricably linked to whiteness and a deeply flawed binary system. From the founding fathers to the current Supreme Court, from the erasure of women in the Constitution to the ongoing fight for the Equal Rights Amendment, Dr. Tubbs reveals the mechanisms that have kept women's contributions hidden and their voices suppressed. Anna Malaika Tubbs is a scholar, advocate, and bestselling author (The Three Mothers: How the Mothers of Martin Luther King, Jr., Malcolm X, and James Baldwin Shaped a Nation) whose work brings a fresh, urgent perspective on American history and its gendered systems. With a Ph.D. in Sociology and a Masters in Multidisciplinary Gender Studies from the University of Cambridge and a Bachelors in Medical Anthropology from Stanford University, Anna translates her academic knowledge into clear and engaging stories. Her articles have been published by TIME Magazine, New York Magazine, CNN, Motherly, The Huffington Post, For Harriet, The Guardian, Darling Magazine, and Blavity. Anna's storytelling also takes form in her talks, including her TED Talk that has been viewed 2 million times, as well as the scripted and unscripted screen projects she has in development. She lives in Los Angeles with her husband, former Mayor of Stockton, CA Michael Tubbs  and their three young children.
