Podcasts about thought leaders

Thanks to our Partner, NAPA Autotech TrainingIn this episode, Matt Fanslow dives into listener-submitted questions, covering a wide range of automotive diagnostic and repair topics. From personal influences in the industry to technical advice on exhaust gas analyzers, catalytic converter testing, and ADAS calibrations, Matt shares his insights and expertise.1. Who Do You Try to Emulate?Matt reflects on the mentors and industry leaders who have shaped his approach to diagnostics and repair.TV Doctors vs. Real Mentors: While he jokes about emulating fictional doctors like Hawkeye Pierce, Gregory House, and Perry Cox, Matt credits real-world experts like John Thornton, Randy Burkholder, Jim Kemper, Matthew Ragsdale, Harvey Chan, and John Riegel for their influence.The Value of Deep Research: Matt highlights the importance of studying SAE documents, technical manuals, and foundational books like Internal Combustion Engine Fundamentals by John B. Heywood.Thought Leaders in the Industry: He also mentions Jim Wilson (ScanShare.io), Scott Manna, and others for their diagnostic methodologies and problem-solving approaches.Takeaway: Success in automotive diagnostics comes from continuous learning, leveraging industry resources, and adopting best practices from experienced professionals.2. Exhaust Gas Analyzers – What to Look For?A listener asks about choosing the right exhaust gas analyzer for their shop. Matt breaks down the key features:PC/Android Interface: Essential for graphing gas readings (lambda, air-fuel ratio) over time.Portability: Needed for on-road testing to monitor performance under real driving conditions.Fast Sample Times: Look for analyzers with low transfer delays (under 5 seconds) for accurate real-time data.Cost Consideration: Expect to invest 5,000–5,000–7,000+ for a quality unit. Takeaway: A good exhaust gas analyzer should provide real-time data logging, lambda calculations, and portability for effective diagnostics.3. Testing Catalytic Converters – Temperature vs. PCM DiagnosticsA student questions the validity of using infrared thermometers to test catalytic converters after hearing conflicting advice.PCM Algorithms Are Superior: Modern vehicles use complex oxygen storage calculations—far more accurate than manual temperature checks.Why Temperature Testing Falls Short:A "bad" cat might still pass a temp test.A "good" cat might fail due to external factors (exhaust leaks, sensor issues).Best Practice: Trust OBD-II diagnostics, fuel control verification, and factory procedures over manual methods.Takeaway: Always verify fuel control, exhaust integrity, and PCM data before condemning a catalytic converter.4. ADAS Calibrations – Troubleshooting Static Windshield Camera IssuesA technician struggles with static calibrations for windshield-mounted cameras. Matt offers troubleshooting tips:Check the Windshield Glass: Aftermarket glass is a common culprit for calibration failures.Lighting Conditions:Too much LED glare? Try diffusers or dimming shop lights.Use shipping blankets to reduce reflections on the hood/dash.Target Placement: Ensure the target is positioned per OEM specs—avoid background interference.RTFM (Read the Factory Manual): Always follow OEM procedures for target setup.Takeaway: Calibration issues often stem from glass quality, lighting, or incorrect target alignment—double-check these factors first.Listener Q&A Submission: Have a question for Matt?

If I take a look at your slide deck or presentation outline and I can't tell that the content is yours (vs. another speaker on your topic), you're in danger of being a commodity speaker. Commodity speakers are undifferentiated and interchangeable. It will be harder for you to attract higher-profile speaking engagements, raise your speaking fees, and generate quality leads at your presentations. What you want instead is for your content to position you as a thought leader. You will have a much bigger impact on your audiences and your speaking will be an effective marketing channel and revenue stream in your business. Now more than ever it's time to escape the expert trap that will keep you undifferentiated and interchangeable with other experts and with the A.I. and instead step into thought leadership. This is how you'll stay relevant in the age of A.I. were rapidly entering. In this episode, you'll learn: Why the "expert trap" holds you back and how to break free How to develop a compelling perspective that sets you apart The power of creating intellectual property to establish your unique voice How personal storytelling can deepen your impact and connection with your audience   (This episode originally aired as epiosde 327 on May 2, 2023.)   Links: Show notes at https://www.speakingyourbrand.com/327  Watch the video replay: https://crowdcast.io/c/syb-speaking-ai Discover your Speaker Archetype by taking our free quiz at https://www.speakingyourbrand.com/quiz/ Join our Thought Leader Academy: https://www.speakingyourbrand.com/academy/  Connect on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/carolcox Related Podcast Episodes: Episode 313: How to Thrive in the Age of A.I. with Carol Cox Episode 342: I Almost Got Stuck in the Expert Trap: How I Created My Recent Successful Conference Presentation

Broadcasting from Planful's Perform 25 conference in Miami, CFO Thought Leader presents frontline finance insights in an on‑location special.

Welcome to Building Brand You™, the podcast that helps you accelerate your success by unlocking your greatest asset – you.   KEY TAKEAWAYS Authenticity can be described as a combination of the stories we tell ourselves, about ourselves  and others, which shape our identity and actions. The journey to authenticity begins with noticing the stories we tell ourselves and questioning their truth to better understand who we truly are. While authenticity is often described as being true to oneself, there are a range of pitfalls that may result from our behaving authentically. Take action by making a note of the stories you tell yourself, then questioning whether they are truly reflective of who you are - these stories are at the heart of how you show up as a leader so to shift your leadership and what you are known for, you may need to rethink the stories!     ABOUT KYM HAMER: Kym is an international leadership and personal branding thought leader, an executive coach, and a programme design and facilitation practitioner.

Do you find yourself set up for a productive day, only to be derailed by your emails? Checking and replying to emails can eat up so much time - and what’s worse is that the false sense of productivity checking email provides can be very addictive. The problem of spending way too much time in my inbox has been bugging me for some time, so I was very excited to find out that Michael Bungay Stanier has had similar problems and has been working on solutions. Michael is a renowned speaker, teacher and author whose books have sold over 1.5 million copies. In fact, his best known book, The Coaching Habit, topped the Wall Street Journal bestseller list with Brenè Brown calling it “a classic”. He was named #1 Thought Leader in Coaching by Thinkers50, and has been featured in top publications like Harvard Business Review, Forbes, and Fast Company. Michael is clearly very busy and can’t afford to waste time on emails, yet he still finds himself procrastinating with them. But he has a lot of strategies and tricks that we might be able to use. Michael shares: Why we get stuck in the cycle of emails even when we know we shouldn’t The techniques and programs we can use to reduce email use Why you might need to use incentives and consequences to enforce your email reduction strategies.

There's a reason most people never become known for their thought leadership. It's not because they lack ideas… But because they haven't done the work to build their credibility or subject matter expertise. Today's guest is Simone Heng, a human connection specialist and award-winning author. Simone's mission is to inspire deeper connection in a world that's increasingly disconnected. Her book Let's Talk About Loneliness has received six international accolades. She's also spoken to thousands (ex: Harvard, Google, Meta, the United Nations, and more), and her work has been featured by CNN, Al Jazeera, Forbes, Harvard Business Review, and BBC Radio. Simone built her career in thought leadership not through shortcuts, but through years of intentional work - Educating herself, building a credible brand, and publishing ideas that are not only polished, but profound. If you've ever wondered what it looks like to play the long game in a world that rewards speed… This is the conversation.  In this episode, we cover:    (00:00) Introduction (01:57) “I've never seen an Asian woman speak like that”  (03:13) Developing a subject matter expertise  (07:17) Choosing your topic of expertise  (09:20) Being told to hide parts of you  (10:41) The behind the scenes work (12:36) Your story isn't enough  (16:09) Do you need a PhD to be a thought leader?  (22:24) Reviewing Simone's past content  (26:52) Become a speaker or author  (30:49) What's next for Simone  (35:43) Actionable Takeaways  Connect with Simone Heng   Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/simoneheng  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/simone-heng-speaker  Website: https://simoneheng.com  Thought Leaders Now: https://www.thoughtleadersnow.com  Connect with Cheryl Lau   Website: https://cheryllau.com  YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@cheryltheory  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/cheryltheory LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/cheryllau ANNOTATIONS - The Newsletter    The edits that got cut from the podcast.

http://www.sherylkline.com/blogIn the latest Fearless Female Leadership interview, I had the true pleasure of speaking with Sara Connell, bestselling author, TEDx speaker, coach, and Founder of Thought Leader Academy, about the transformative journey from corporate leader to thought leader. Sara's story is one of resilience, reinvention, and the power of claiming your voice — and using it to create meaningful, lasting impact.Sara's career began in the corporate world at a top advertising agency, where she quickly realized that while the training was invaluable, the culture was toxic. It took a mental and physical health crisis for Sara to finally make the leap out of corporate life — a leap inspired by a chance encounter with a life-changing book she discovered in an airport bookstore. That single book inspired her to commit to writing the stories and messages she wished had existed for her, and ultimately to empower other leaders to do the same.Throughout our conversation, Sara spoke candidly about the mindset shifts required to leave a traditional corporate path and build a thriving thought leadership business. She emphasized the importance of creating a clear “flag in the ground” — your core message or movement — and then choosing one meaningful platform to start sharing it, whether that's a book, a talk, or a podcast.Sara also shared her wisdom on managing imposter syndrome, embracing discomfort, and remembering that legacy-level impact rarely comes from comfort zones.Key takeaways from the interview:0:01:10 – Sara's career pivot from corporate advertising was born out of both desperation and inspiration, sparked by a book she discovered during a personal crisis.0:03:52 – The toxic myth that “if you leave, you'll fail” keeps many leaders stuck — Sara debunks this through her own story.0:06:24 – Mindset is 100% of the game; it either keeps you in the game or takes you out.0:08:16 – Every thought leader faces self-doubt and imposter syndrome — even icons like Maya Angelou and Elizabeth Gilbert.0:10:44 – Act “as if” when your confidence wavers. Pretend to believe in yourself until your actions prove you right.0:12:14 – Start by identifying your “flag in the ground” — your signature message, idea, or movement you want to be known for.0:14:57 – Choose one thought leadership platform to begin with — speaking, writing, podcasting — based on what lights you up.0:18:26 – Find the intersection of your corporate expertise, your untapped passions, and the audience you most want to serve.0:20:33 – Great marketing starts with listening; have real conversations with your ideal audience to learn what they need.0:23:45 – Often our greatest superpowers feel invisible to us — fresh eyes and mentors can help uncover your unique brilliance.If you're interested in being featured on the Fearless Female Leadership podcast, or you're a leader looking to gain clarity on ‘what's next', how to build more cohesive and high-performing teams, and lead with greater confidence and influence, let's have a confidential conversation.Cheering you on always!– Sheryl

TL;DR: Today we're releasing a new episode of our Thought Leaders podcast that unpacks the practical side of growing a values-led agency. Dion Besser explains how he stabilised a team that tripled overnight, balanced culture with accountability, and kept clients loyal through volatile markets. Listen on YouTube, Apple Podcasts or Spotify—and sign up to get it in your inbox each week. Dion Besser has spent more than two decades living what keeps a real estate business steady when markets, regulations, and staffing levels change simultaneously. After gaining experience in London, he returned to Melbourne to found Besser & Co., where a 2022 acquisition saw his staff list jump from eight to 24 in a single day. Instead of patching problems on the fly, he doubled down on a simple playbook: start with clear values, document the right way to work, and let those guardrails drive performance. Today, that 20-strong crew runs on transparency, honest feedback, and a habit of celebrating small wins. In this conversation, Dion explains how he hires, trains, and motivates people so that the next growth spurt feels orderly, not chaotic. “Most of the skills in real estate can be taught. What I look for is trust, loyalty, openness, accountability, drive.” Values come first—hire for character, train for skill Dion screens candidates with personality tests to see how they handle feedback before they even start. If they push back, they won't suit an environment built on constructive candour. With values aligned, new hires step straight into detailed playbooks—everything from rent reviews to auction campaigns—so expectations never feel fuzzy. Culture is a journey—celebrate wins before cracks widen “It really is a journey for our clients and it's a journey for our staff.” When an acquisition stretched the team, morale dipped until Dion formed a “Culture Collective” that meets monthly to spotlight quick victories—five-star reviews, seamless VCAT cases, record rent per square metre—and flag tension early. Regular recognition reset the mood and curbed turnover. Intrinsic meets extrinsic—design rewards beyond the paycheck “Find out what motivates them, and help them achieve that.” Commission still matters, but Dion ties KPIs to personal goals like clearing tasks daily or making 80 calls a week. When agents hit targets they set themselves, the reward lands deeper than trophies—and retention climbs because progress feels personal. Patience and persistence—guide clients through choppy markets “If you can't take your clients on a longer journey, you'll find yourself losing business.” With Melbourne prices wobbling and tenancy laws changing, Besser coaches his team to prep vendors and landlords for longer campaigns. Clear timelines, frequent check-ins and upfront reality checks convert possible frustration into trust—even when the news isn't great. Own your agency choice—interview the interviewer “Ask a potential employer: What path to success do you have for me?” For newcomers eyeing 2025, Dion flips the script: treat job interviews like due diligence. If an office can't outline a documented growth track—training, database strategy, social-media playbook—move on. The right environment, he says, is half the battle.

Trump's RTO Mandate was falsely framed as popular. Only 43% backed it, but the poll's numbers were spun and amplified by partisan pipelines posing as trusted local news. That's the key take-away message of this episode of the Wise Decision Maker Show, which describes how misleading polling inflates support for Trump's RTO mandate.This article forms the basis for this episode: https://disasteravoidanceexperts.com/misleading-polling-inflates-support-for-trumps-rto-mandate/
