Tweetable Comments "Don't outsource your humanity." "People are human first and colleagues second." "Trust is a noun and a verb." "We can solve for respect, right? We can solve for trust." Intro Note: This transcript has been edited for clarity, readability, and length while preserving the core conversation and key insights from the episode. In this episode of b Cause Work Doesn't Have to Suck, Erin Hatzikostas talks with Minda Harts about workplace trust, the seven trust languages, leadership communication, rebuilding trust after mistakes, giving better feedback, psychological safety, and why leaders need to stop outsourcing their humanity. Why Trust Is the Real Workplace Issue Erin: I'm fascinated by your background because I'm like, "Oh yeah, she's all about trust. She's a speaker." And then I'm like, "Oh wait, she's a professor. Oh wait, she's a filmmaker. Oh wait, she wrote books." I'm curious about trust. It's not exactly the sexiest topic, but there must have been a moment or story that made you obsessed with it. Minda: The obsession actually started during COVID. I was living in New York City at the time, and I woke up around three o'clock in the morning. I kept hearing this voice saying, "The issue is always trust." I didn't think too much about it in the moment, but I wrote "trust languages" in my notes app. Over time, I kept coming back to it. The more I thought about all the writing I'd done over the years, I realized the real problem I was trying to solve was trust. In the workplace, when certain things happen, there's usually an expectation underneath that isn't being met. That erodes trust. But often, people don't even know they're doing it. So I started to see that it's not just a trust issue. It's also a communication issue. If the other person knew what you needed, could that get trust back on the tracks? In personal relationships, trust is a no-brainer. If I can't trust you, I don't know if this relationship is going to work. But in the workplace, we give people a pass for doing things that aren't trustworthy, and we never have conversations about it. The Seven Trust Languages Erin: I love the idea of trust languages because everybody thinks of love languages. You have seven trust languages. Where does it start? Do you need to understand the other person, or are these seven things everyone needs to do? Minda: My thesis is that we all have a primary, secondary, and tertiary trust language. There may be a time when we're speaking all of them, but if I'm a leader and you report to me, and I want to get the most productivity out of my entire team, not just my go-to people, then in our next one-on-one, I'm going to ask, "What does trust look like to you?" I want to make sure we have the most harmonious working relationship possible. I want to make sure you get the most out of being on this team. So what does trust look like to you? When someone answers that question, they'll usually tell you two or three of their trust languages without even knowing the labels. If I know feedback is important to you, or transparency is important to you, I can make note of that. Then when we're working together, I remember, "Erin values transparency. She values when I'm not being ambiguous. She values feedback that's meaningful and insightful." I tell people it's about the double E's. We're either enhancing trust or eroding trust. Erin: Always up or down. Minda: Exactly. We may not be able to solve everything at work, but we can solve for respect. We can solve for trust. The Question Every Leader Should Ask Erin: That question is so powerful. I used to lead a lot of employees, and I'm thinking, "Crap, if I could've simply said in one meeting, 'Trust is important. What does trust look like for you?'" Minda: I never had a manager ask me that. Not because they didn't want trust with me, but because we're all moving so fast in the workday that we forget there's a human on the other end. The data shows that if we have more trust, we're more productive and less anxious. I don't want to be the reason someone is spiraling through the day and not even know it. Erin: Imagine asking that in an interview when you're trying to attract the best talent. You think people aren't going to flock to that? They're going to be like, "Wow, I've never heard that before." Minda: Yes. And I write about that in the book. If you know acknowledgement is important to you, ask questions in the interview process that help you see whether that environment can provide it. Some people don't naturally say, "Great job. Thank you for delivering that project. I don't know where we'd be without it." That may not be the language they're most comfortable giving. But you may need that to survive and thrive at work. So tell people what's important to you. Advocate for yourself. We're not always going to work for the person who asks, "What does trust look like?" Sometimes you have to take the bull by the horns. Erin: And by sometimes, we mean most of the time. How to Ask for the Trust You Need Erin: Most of our listeners are leaders, but let's be honest, they're also employees. Everybody wants to be a great leader, but they also want to know how to be led better. Can you give an example of how someone might use the trust languages in an interview to understand what kind of manager they'd be working for? Minda: One trust language that is really important right now is sensitivity, which is about empathy and being mindful of our actions, tone, and behaviors. If I were interviewing, I might say, "Many people work together in the workplace, but they experience the workplace differently. If I reported to you and there was a natural disaster where I live, and I couldn't get into the office three or five days a week, how would we handle that?" That question tells me a lot about the manager. If they say, "Absolutely. Were you impacted by the fires? I know that must have been tough," that tells me something. But if they say, "Maybe you should move somewhere else because we need someone in the office five days a week," that tells me something too. You start to see how people humanize you, or whether they're robotic. Sensitivity, Security, and Psychological Safety Minda: Another example is what happens in meetings. We've all been in a situation where someone says a joke that isn't funny to everyone. Does the leader sweep it under the rug and let that person keep saying inappropriate things in team meetings? Or, if I have an issue, can I bring it to you without fear of retribution? A lot of trust is eroded in big team meetings. People speak over each other. People say things that are inappropriate, not necessarily because they woke up deciding to be inappropriate, but because they're used to talking any kind of way. That's where psychological safety comes in, which is connected to the trust language of security. Even if we have a difference of opinion, there should still be enough respect for me to have a good conversation with you. And if someone gives feedback, how do you receive it? Do you say, "I've never heard that before," and get defensive? Or do you say, "Let me consider what you're saying. Tell me more. Let me ask some questions." These behaviors keep showing up at work, and people don't always realize how detrimental they can be. Erin: Everybody's different. I'm thinking about two people who support my business. One is more on the sensitivity side. If something gets messed up, I know I need to say, "Dude, no big deal at all." And when something is done well, I need to say the thing that's already inside my head: "You crushed it." The other person is about as far from sensitive as you can imagine. For her, follow-through probably matters more. She's my operations person. It's more like, "Erin, you said you were going to send me three videos. Send me the three videos." Understanding those people is really important. How to Rebuild Trust After You Mess Up Erin: Rebuilding trust is always a big one. Let's say you screwed something up with a client, customer, or major project. What are some ways to rebuild trust that people may not think of? Minda: One trust language that matters here is demonstration. Do our actions align with our values? I can tell you all day that I'm going to make the tacos the way you expect them every time you come to the taco truck. But if every time you come, they're made differently, I'm not demonstrating that you can trust this place. When we make a mistake, we can acknowledge it. "You know what? We have a new cook. We're training them today. But we value you as a customer." Then we pay attention. "Oh, you like your cheese sprinkled this way? Now that I know that, I want to demonstrate that you can trust us. Next time you come, I'm going to check the bag before you leave." It's the show and the tell. A lot of times in life, we want to skip over the repair part. We say, "I said I'm sorry. Move on." But rebuilding trust requires demonstration over time. I believe if trust can be broken, it can be rebuilt, if it's not egregious. But it requires action. Trust is a noun and a verb. Erin: It takes patience. When we mess up, we want instant gratification. We want the wound to be healed right away. In a big corporation, it might be, "We'll give you a fee holiday," because we want something tangible and quick. But if you slow down and accept that it may be uncomfortable for a little while, then next week you can show up differently. You can go above and beyond. You can demonstrate the repair. Minda: Absolutely. And we also have to give people the opportunity to rebuild. If we've been burned in our personal or professional lives, sometimes we come into the next situation with our defenses up. You may be the best boss I've never had yet, but if I'm still holding onto hurts and broken promises from my last situation, I'm not going to get the best out of the situation with you, and you're not going to get the best from me. So we also have to be self-aware. Is this person really eroding trust, or am I bringing baggage from past experiences? Erin: Right. It's easy to tell stories like, "The boss is mad at me because I got a three-word email." But maybe the boss is running to another meeting and isn't actually worried about the mistake you made. What to Do When You Break Trust With Your Boss Erin: Let's say you mess something up with your boss. Maybe you botch a report, lose a customer, or mess up some technology. Beyond demonstrating that you can get it right next time, what else helps? Minda: Remember that your boss is human too. They have expectations you may not be aware of, especially if you're new to the team. You might say, "I know expectations can change depending on priorities, and I want to make sure we're aligned. I really enjoy working on your team, and I want our working relationship to be strong. What do you need from me to do your best work?" Success is not a solo sport. When you ask that kind of question, they may not say, "Transparency is important to me," or, "Follow-through is important to me," but they'll tell you something that reveals what matters. Then you can make a mental note. If you say you'll get something done by five and you can't, don't workplace ghost them. Follow up and say, "I know the deadline is approaching. Could I get an extension of one hour? I'll get it to you shortly." That keeps trust on the tracks. We create narratives in our heads that people will be upset with us, but most people just want honesty. We all bump up against deadlines. We all make mistakes. The issue is how we communicate it. The Leadership Mistake That Drives Minda Crazy Erin: What gets under your skin? What's your biggest leadership pet peeve? What's the simple thing leaders do wrong that you wish they'd change? Minda: I really value transparency, which is clarity and honesty. What gets under my skin is when leaders act like employees are stupid. We see the smoke coming out of the chimney. We hear the alarms going off. Then you come and tell us, "There's nothing to worry about. Nothing to see here." You may not know why the smoke is happening. You may not know why the alarms are going off. But acknowledge it. Say, "I know you've smelled the smoke. I've smelled it too. I don't know exactly what's causing it, but once I do, I'll let you know." That feels better and keeps trust intact more than pretending nothing happened. Don't pretend we didn't just do a reorganization. Don't pretend we didn't just lay off half the team. Let's humanize it. People are human first and colleagues second. Sometimes leaders think they can't be honest because they're privy to certain information. Then say that. "I don't have all the information right now, but I understand how this might make you feel. If you have questions, book time with me and let's talk it through." That feels much better than watching someone's work friend get laid off after ten years and then pretending nothing happened. Erin: I love that. Stop thinking your employees are stupid. The bar is low, isn't it? Minda: It's so low. Don't Outsource Your Humanity Erin: I saw a post where someone asked you a question about AI, and the gremlin that came out of you was, "Don't outsource your humanity." What caused that? Minda: Someone asked me about using AI in workplace communication. I think it's important to use the tools available to us. But what can happen is I put my thoughts into an agent, then I email you. Then you put your thoughts into an agent, and now you're emailing me back. At that point, we've taken ourselves out of it. It's just two agents talking to each other. There's no nuance. The tools don't understand the history of what happened in the meeting. They're getting it from one angle. So before you press send, just because the grammar is great and the message is direct, take another look. Think about the nuance. Think about the relationship. When this person finishes reading the email, how are they going to feel? What is the relationship going to feel like? If we're just two agents talking to each other, we may not be building trust. We may be eroding it. That's why I said, "Don't outsource your humanity." Erin: Preaching to the choir. I'm an authenticity girl. Sounding smart is now suspicious. Stop sounding smart. How to Give Tough Feedback Without Eroding Trust Erin: Can we talk about giving tough feedback? Whether it's an annual review or on the fly, I think the feedback sandwich is over. Maybe that worked when people didn't know they were being sandwiched, but now we all know. How do you give transparent feedback while still building trust? Minda: One thing I created is a game called The Trust Catalyst, which helps people practice these conversations so they don't erode trust. If we're doing a one-on-one or year-end review, I'm not going to start by launching into feedback. If you sit down or appear on Zoom, and the first thing I say is, "That report you did last week should have been done differently," you're immediately thinking, "I didn't know this was a problem." That sets the tone for the whole meeting. Think of the seven trust languages as tools. If you have a nail, you're not going to grab a wrench first. You're going to grab the right tool. Maybe you start with acknowledgement. Maybe you start with sensitivity because you know this person has had a rough year. When you do get to feedback, make sure it's meaningful and gives the person an opportunity to grow. It's not just what you say. It's how you say it. You can say, "We need to meet these deadlines more consistently. Is there something you need from me so we can make sure you hit this mark three weeks from now?" That sounds very different from making someone feel like they may not have a job by the end of the week. I always go back to the double E's. Is what I'm about to say going to enhance this relationship or erode it? Think about what you want the end of the conversation to look like. Do you want the person to feel down and out, waiting to turn off the camera? Or is there a way that when you see each other later, the relationship still feels intact? Growing up, my mom and dad could say the exact same thing to me, but when my dad said it, I wanted to spiral down the wall because his delivery was harsh. My mom could say the same thing, and I would receive it because I knew she was telling me in a way that helped me grow. That's something leaders and colleagues can do better. When Your Peer Becomes Your Employee Erin: Here's a sticky situation: your peer becomes your employee. You get promoted, and Joe, who used to be your sidekick and confidant, is now reporting to you. How do you build this new level of trust when the relationship changes? Minda: That happens a lot, and it can be sticky depending on which side of the friendship you're on. A big part of it is transparency. Talk about the elephant in the room. You might say, "I know we have a great working relationship, and now I'm in this leadership position. There may be times when I have to put certain priorities first, but I want you to know you can always come to me. I hope we can have two relationships: our working relationship and our friendship. There may be times when I have sensitive information I can't talk about like I could before, but I hope we can find that balance." I would much rather someone be transparent with me and create that sense of security than pretend I don't exist anymore or start acting weird. Nine times out of ten, if people would communicate instead of being conflict avoidant, we could have better relationships. We create narratives that it can't work, but why not talk about how it can work? Say, "If it ever feels like our friendship isn't there, or I'm acting differently because I'm in this role, tell me. I value that." We have to say what we mean without being mean. Erin: Exactly. Say the thing you're already going to say to your coach or your partner. Why not say it to the actual person? Minda: Yes. Because now I have that information. I may think everything is fine, but you may feel like, "We used to talk every day, and now we only talk once a month." You might assume I don't care as much now that I have this leadership title, when really, I'm just busy and hadn't thought about it. Again, many of these things are communication issues before they become trust issues. Green-Lighting Yourself Erin: You haven't just focused on trust. You're also a filmmaker, and part of that is telling stories about real-life situations, friendships, and the things that make life beautiful and complicated. So many people listening are trying to make work suck less, but they're also looking for inspiration to do things that feel uncomfortable or outlandish. Can you talk about the filmmaking side? Minda: I never intended to be an author. I fell into it. So I would encourage people to remember that you can learn new things. During the pandemic, I started taking screenwriting classes because I knew I wanted to take the stories I'd been telling and share them in another medium. I wanted to be a better storyteller, and I'm a big advocate of investing in yourself. Whether I win an Oscar, a Webby, or nothing, I wanted to enhance that skill. I also thought about the intellectual property I have and how I could tell those stories in different ways. I started taking classes about six years ago. At some point, I said, "I'm not going to wait for the green light from somebody else. I'm going to green light myself." So I started making short films. I kept taking coursework, reading books, finding my crew on social media, and asking people around. Now I'm four short films in, and they've been in many festivals. It feels good to uncover a new area of my life that I'm good at. Maybe I'll win Oscars in the future. Maybe I won't. But I'm enjoying this part of my life because it's another way to get stories heard by people who may never read my books. Erin: You said something so simple: "I took a class." So many times we act like we don't even know where to start. But there's a class for everything. Minda: Everything. Erin: Just take the class. Get curious. Minda: I'll tell you and your listeners a secret. Since I was a teenager, I've always wanted to take piano lessons. Every year, I'd put it on the vision board: "Take piano lessons." And I never did. But later today, I'm taking my first piano lesson. I may end up in a recital with preschoolers, but this is for me. Sometimes we just have to do things for us. Minda's "Buck That" Story Erin: We always ask people for their "buck that" story. It's a time when you bucked the norm, went against the grain, and something good happened as a result. Do you have one? Minda: Yes. It's the intersection where I sit now. I was in corporate America for 15 years, and in 2015, I started this dinosaur thing called a blog. I was frustrated about the workplace I was in. There was no trust anywhere. The blog was a way for me to talk about what I was experiencing, not from a "woe is me" place, but from a place of, "If anybody else is feeling this way, here are the tips I wish I had used or that I'm working through." Every Monday, I put out a memo. Eventually, those memos became my first bestselling book, The Memo. I had no idea that would happen. Now I'm on book four and making films. So sow those seeds. Take the step. I left a very stable job, and I was terrified. I'm type A. I love stability because I didn't have a lot of it growing up. I thought, "Give me the gold watch. I'm here forever." Taking that leap, betting on myself, and bucking the system showed me that success isn't just one way. I think I'm a constant "buck that" girl now. That's just how I live. Erin: Once you buck it once and it works out, that's the end of the story. That's why we love to share these stories for people who are holding themselves back. One Last Tip to Make Work Suck Less Erin: What's your one last tip to make work suck less? Minda: Ask yourself, "What do I want out of work?" Sometimes we do things at work to make work work for everybody else, but we never consider what it needs to look like for us. Once you understand what you need, you can ask for it more clearly. Not what the person next to you wants. Not what someone on Microsoft Teams wants. What is really going to make you say, "This was worth the ride"? We should remember that we are good enough to deserve the best workplace possible.

Reconciliation isn't the same thing as forgiveness. We've probably been confusing the two for too long, and it's had real consequences for real people. In this episode, let's look honestly at what genuine repair actually requires, who's responsible for what, and why it's worth the hard work of getting it right. LINKS: Book of Forgiving | Connect | YouTube | Coming Up TRANSCRIPT: Ian calls kids up and shares puppets (all the animal characters from Wally and Freya) Setup: We've been talking about Wally and Freya for a few weeks now. But there were other animals in this story— a whole community. And when something happens between two people, the whole community has to figure out how to respond. I need some helpers. Each of you gets a character. Facilitate a short, lively role play — you narrate, kids voice their characters: Wally did something that hurt Freya. Now everybody has to decide what to do.Name each option clearly as kids play them out: Get even — someone decides to do something mean back to Wally. Throw a tantrum — someone just explodes with feelings. Ask for help — someone goes to a trusted adult. Forgive — someone decides to let it go and move forward. Choose the relationship — someone decides whether they even want to keep being Wally's friend. Wally & Freya book Here's what I want you to notice: in any situation where someone gets hurt, everybody has choices. Not just one choice, but a whole menu of them. Some of those choices help. Some of them make things worse. And some of them are really, really hard. The hardest one (and the most interesting one) is what we're talking about today. The word you are going to hear me use is called “reconciliation,” and it means making a relationship better. It's not the same thing as forgiveness. They're related, but they're different. Here's the difference: Forgiveness is something YOU do, inside yourself. Reconciliation is something that happens BETWEEN PEOPLE. It takes both people showing up. Painting rocks… what are words we could use? The Distinction We Were Not Taught We have spent this whole series untangling forgiveness from the myths we inherited about it. Today we untangle one more, and it might be the most practically important one. Forgiveness and reconciliation are not the same thing. We use them interchangeably. We shouldn't. Collapsing them into one action creates real damage: It pressures the wounded person to restore a relationship before they feel safe. It lets the person who caused harm off the hook for the actual work of repair. It produces what we might call false reconciliation, a surface-level "we're fine" that buries the wound rather than healing it. The Tutus: "The preference is always to renew unless there is a question of safety." But — and this is important — reconciliation is the fourth step of the Fourfold Path, not the first. You cannot skip to it. And sometimes, honestly, you never get there. To be clear: not reaching reconciliation is not s sign of failure either. That's reality. Lessons from the TRC In 1995, Nelson Mandela appointed Archbishop Desmond Tutu to chair South Africa's Truth and Reconciliation Commission… a body tasked with the nearly impossible: helping a nation begin to heal from decades of apartheid-era atrocity. The TRC was empowered to grant amnesty to perpetrators who confessed their crimes truthfully and completely to the commission. Not automatically. Not cheaply. Truth first. Tutu's final remarks after submitting the report were: "We have looked the beast in the eye. Our past will no longer keep us hostage." Notice what the commission was called. Not the Reconciliation Commission. The Truth and Reconciliation Commission. Truth comes first. Always. What Archbishop Desmond Tutu and the TRC understood, and what we so often get backwards, is that healing actually does have an order. You cannot reconcile what you have not first actually named. You cannot repair what no one has acknowledged was broken. Skipping truth in the name of peace doesn't produce peace. It produces a ceasefire. Those are different things. The TRC also knew its limits. The commission's final report recommended prosecution in cases where amnesty was not sought or was denied. Reconciliation and accountability were held together, not traded against each other. That's the model. The Asymmetry of Reconciliation Here's something the Tutus make explicit that almost nobody else does: the person who was hurt and the person who caused harm have fundamentally different work to do in reconciliation. The path is not the same for both. For the person who was hurt: Your work is the Fourfold Path: telling the story, naming the hurt, granting forgiveness, and then deciding whether to renew or release the relationship. You do not owe anyone reconciliation. Forgiveness is yours to give on your own timeline. Reconciliation requires the other person to show up. The Tutus: "Ask for what you need from the perpetrator in order to renew or release the relationship." That's your right. An apology. An explanation. A changed behavior. To never see them again. All of these are legitimate. For the person who caused harm— the Tutus' framework from Chapter 8 is equally clear: ADMIT the wrong. Witness the ANGUISH Don't argue, don't cross-examine, don't justify. Just listen to what your actions cost the other person… APOLOGIZE genuinely… When you apologize, you are restoring the dignity that you have violated, and acknowledging that the offense has happened. ASK for forgiveness… and honor whatever answer you receive. Make AMENDS or restitution wherever possible. This asymmetry matters because we almost never name it. We treat reconciliation as if both parties are equally responsible for making it happen. But if someone caused harm and hasn't done their work— hasn't admitted it, hasn't witnessed the anguish, hasn't asked for forgiveness— placing the burden of reconciliation equally on the wounded person is just another form of harm. What Gets in teh Way Why is our culture so bad at this? A few honest reasons: Cheap accountability. "I said sorry, what more do you want?" An apology that doesn't include witnessing the other person's pain, or making any effort toward repair, isn't accountability. It's a bid to end the discomfort of being the one who caused harm. Forced and premature reconciliation. Especially in families, churches, and workplaces (read: systems with power dynamics!) pressure to reconcile before the wounded person is ready, or before the person who caused harm has done their work, is coercion masked as grace. No shared vocabulary or ritual. This is a distinctly American problem. We have almost no cultural practices around genuine repair. We have legal settlements. We have awkward apologies. We don't have a process. The Tutus give us one. Most of us were never taught it. The fear that accountability and restoration can't coexist. They can. The TRC proved it — imperfectly, controversially, but really. Truth and healing are not enemies. They need each other. Sometimes, Reconciliation isn't Possible or Appropriate. Some people may be carrying experiences of abuse, violence, or sustained harm Some relationships should not be restored. The Tutus themselves say the preference is always to renew… unless there is a question of safety. Safety is not a small caveat. It is the first question. Releasing a relationship— choosing not to restore it— is not a failure of forgiveness. It is sometimes the most brave thing a person can do. You can forgive someone and never speak to them again… it's totally not a contradiction. Reconciliation requires two willing, honest, accountable people. If only one person is doing the work, what you have is not reconciliation. It's one person carrying everything alone… again. The Reconciliation Map Here's a practice to take into this week... Think of a relationship in your life where there has been harm… either harm done to you, or harm you caused. Ask yourself honestly: Where are we actually in this process? Has the story been told — honestly, out loud, to someone? Has the hurt been named — the feelings underneath the facts? Has forgiveness been granted — or is it still in process? Has there been any movement toward renewing or releasing the relationship? You don't have to be further along than you are. This isn't a checklist for shame. It's just a snapshot, and an honest look at where you actually stand, so you can take the next step that's actually yours to take. Wrap-up Next week is our last week together in this series. We're going to flip the question one final time and ask: what does it mean to be forgivable? What's my role in the harm I've caused — and what does it look like to become someone who can be forgiven? This is hard, slow, important work. You're doing it!
The latest review of antisemitism in the health service serves to reinforce the action of the IHRA ‘definition' – ie, it seeks to stigmatise and victimise all those who speak out against zionist racism and genocide. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cAq8tg8Muok The video above contains information on a legal challenge that seeks to overturn NHS England's adoption of the IHRA definition of antisemitism. -------------------------------------------------------- Subscribe!

We didn't think something could be worse than The Garbage Pail Kids Movie, but boy howdy were we wrong. No complaints about the cast; they did what they could with a script (?), lazy direction, and a producer that wanted everything yesterday. Throw in the constant McDonald's sponsorship and aliens with butthole mouths that treat Coca-Cola like the elixir of life, and you've got the long-running joke from Paul Rudd that is Mac and Me. Starring Christine Ebersole, Jade Calegory, Jonathan Ward, Tina Caspary, and Lauren Stanley.
There are episodes where everything stays on track, and then there are episodes like this one.The gang kicks things off with an innocent conversation about National Corn on the Cob Day, which immediately reveals that Riz may be consuming corn in a way that should probably be investigated by professionals. From there, things somehow get even weirder.Moon recounts an encounter with a door-to-door pest control salesman that quickly escalated from a simple sales pitch into a full-blown neighborhood showdown. Was Moon justified? Was the scooter involved? Did anyone actually have time for that conversation? The answers are exactly as ridiculous as you'd expect.The crew also dives into the lost art of talking to strangers, debating whether smartphones have completely ruined human interaction or if we're all just looking for an excuse not to make awkward elevator small talk. Chris Kerber joins the conversation with thoughts on community, technology, and the strange ways people navigate the modern world.Meanwhile, a simple discussion about navigation apps turns into a surprisingly passionate defense of Waze, complete with police reports, traffic alerts, and the realization that some people trust their phones more than their own instincts.As if that wasn't enough chaos, the show detours into dream backyards featuring lazy rivers, hot tubs, waterfalls, catios, secret tunnels, fire pits, hidden rooms, underground bunkers, Japanese gardens, and enough unnecessary luxury to make every HOA president faint. If money were no object, apparently everyone on the show would immediately become either a billionaire recluse or a cartoon villain.Then comes one of the episode's unexpected highlights: food. Lots of food. Sandwiches are analyzed, Penn Station is put under investigation, onion-related crimes are documented, and the crew somehow finds themselves in yet another debate that nobody asked for but everyone has strong opinions about.Throw in sports talk, summer plans, random observations, and the kind of conversational detours that only happen when the microphones are live, and you've got exactly what listeners have come to expect from this daily comedy show.Whether you're here for the weird news, the food arguments, the backyard dreams, or just to hear grown adults passionately discuss topics that absolutely do not matter, this episode delivers the signature chaos that makes The Rizzuto Show a daily comedy show unlike any other.Grab some corn, avoid unsolicited sales pitches, and settle in for another completely normal episode of your favorite daily comedy show.Follow The Rizzuto Show → https://linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → https://1057thepoint.com/RizzShow.Hear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.Invasive hammerhead worm spotted at St. Louis County parkHeard about the gas station ‘screw method' scam?

Send us Fan MailThis week the boys break down the Morgan Wallen controversy after his Pittsburgh concert was suddenly canceled, leaving fans frustrated and city officials claiming they were never contacted about the decision. Fortunately, the Washington Wild Things stepped up and offered free tickets to disappointed concertgoers. The Pittsburgh Scanner delivers another all-time lineup of insanity, including a barber allegedly beating up a customer over a bad online review, a reported tiger loose on a balcony that turned out to be a chunky house cat, and perhaps the greatest scanner call of the year—a man riding a motorbike through Pittsburgh with a monkey on his back while allegedly macing pedestrians.Corndick of the Week features a tragic and bizarre story involving industrial-strength glue being used as a substitute for a condom, plus a police officer who went viral after ticketing a one-handed woman for allegedly holding a cellphone while driving. Brother in Arms brings the laughs with a Florida man desperately searching for his stolen seven-foot pet shark, a Louisiana fugitive who survived an alligator attack and still kept running from police, and eight students rescued after spending hours stranded 100 feet in the air on a stalled roller coaster.

For episode 294, I'm joined once again by my co-host Myles Hughes, with producer Steve Prusakowski working behind the scenes on Emmy season content and, of course, TV Topics. This time around, we're beginning the conversation about Steven Spielberg's Disclosure Day. My rave review can be found here, and we talk a bit about my Spielberg movie ranking to be published on Friday, but this is just the start of our chat here. Next week, we'll get deeper into it, so prepare for at least light spoilers then. Myles has caught up with Masters of the Universe (my review is here) and Mortal Kombat II (reviewed here), so we discuss those, as well as Backrooms, which I've caught up on and reviewed here. Plus, I've seen Scary Movie (reviewed here), so that leads to a section on spoof movies. There's also some brief Tribeca talk, centered on In Memoriam, which I raved about here. Throw in a few of your questions and it's a rather focused episode...As always my friends and faithful listeners/readers, I do hope you all enjoy the latest episode of the Awards Radar Podcast, our 294th one to date (here's to many more). Of course, feel free to revisit the previous installments by clicking the Podcast tab (here) on the top of the page. Plus, listen to us on Apple Podcasts (iTunes), Spotify, and other platforms. More to come each and every single week, so from the bottom of my heart, thank you for listening!
Benson and Stabler look for a killer who met his victim on an anonymous dating site. They arrest Peter Butler, who's been having quickie sex all over town. The detectives link him to the strangled victim and an unsolved rape, but the physical evidence clears him of those crimes. But they learn Peter is HIV positive and, in a fit of misogyny, has been intentionally infecting women. Cabot charges him with spreading the disease. While on trial, one of his victims sprays acid on his face, leaving him permanently scarred. It's not until Peter's kindly grandfather teaches him a lesson on compassion that he takes responsibility for his actions. We're talking about SVU season 11 episode 11 "Quickie." Our guest from our May 6, 2020 episode is Brandie Posey from the Lady to Lady podcast. This episode is inspired by the real-life case of Nushawn Williams.

Can a gritty, rain-slicked 1930s superhero story teach us about spiritual renewal? In this episode, we are diving deep into the monochrome world of the highly anticipated series, Spider-Noir. Do you like interesting cinematography? Are you weary of heroes in bright spandex? Do you love grounded characters and stories? Throw on a trench coat, pop in a candy cigarette and turn on Spier-Noir! On this episode, we like to go beyond the fun stuff and dive into something that will help our spiritual lives. We read from Isaiah 53 and briefly explore the idea of renewal in Christ. Jesus faced pain, rejection and sorow, yet he rose from the grave. We can similarly experience resurrection in Christ.

Dust off your pagers and grab a Surge soda! This week, Dave and Rob are hopping into the time machine and dialing the coordinates to June 9th, 1996. The box office was dominated by Mission: Impossible, the Macarena was slowly taking over the planet, and the Billboard Hot 100 was a wild mix of legendary hip-hop, R&B royalty, alt-rock, and powerhouse vocalists What makes this specific week so legendary is the sheer, whiplash-inducing sonic contrast sharing real estate on the charts. It was a bizarre and beautiful era where the mournful, rapid-fire hip-hop harmonies of Bone Thugs-n-Harmony and 2Pac's aggressive West Coast swagger sat side-by-side with the pristine, sweeping adult contemporary ballads of Celine Dion and Mariah Carey. Throw in the raw acoustic storytelling of Tracy Chapman, Alanis Morissette's alt-rock bite, and a rising, inescapable bilingual novelty dance craze like the Macarena, and you get a snapshot of a musical landscape that was wildly fragmented yet universally massive Chapters 00:00 - Pagers, Surge, and the Macarena: Welcome to 1996 2:10 - Remembering Peabo Bryson and Our Influencer Status 4:07 - Graduating into 1996's Wildly Fragmented Music Scene 9:22 - Diving Into the Billboard Hot 100: Cuts & Honorable Mentions 13:15 - "5:00" by Nonchalant: A 90s Hip Hop Gem 18:36 - "Sweet Dreams" by La Bouche: Eurodance 1996 22:11 - "Tres Delinquentes": West Coast Latin Rap's Breakthrough 26:37 - "Old Man and Me": Hootie's Underrated Sophomore Album 30:25 - Kicking Off our Best of 1996 Billboard Top 10 31:27 - Everclear's "Heart Spark Dollar Sign": An Interracial Love Story 35:00 - Coolio's "1,2,3,4": A Fun Summer Jam 38:57 - Dishwalla's "Counting Blue Cars": Mid-90s Post Grunge Classic 42:36 - Garbage's "Only Happy When It Rains": A 90s Rock Anthem 46:25 - Lenny Kravitz's "Can't Get You Off My Mind" 49:52 - Goo Goo Dolls "Name": A Chart-Topping Personal Ballad 57:13 - Brandy's "Sittin' Up In My Room": A Teen Infatuation Anthem 59:50 - The Tony Rich Project's "Nobody Knows": Country Crossover Hit 1:05:12 - Tracy Chapman's "Give Me One Reason": A Bluesy Career Revitalizer 1:08:04 - Smashing Pumpkins' "1979": The Quintessential Gen X Song 1:10:08 - Snapple, Clearly Canadian, and Our 1996 Billboard List Review Playlists: Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/3IEysWlUdIzxLhnrSmu1bx?si=DVgK8cegRq-FqwVtoZGlqQ Apple:https://music.apple.com/us/playlist/billboard-hot-100-june-9th-1996/pl.u-76oN9NpFNz2Y05?ls Amazon: Click HERE to access the Amazon playlist for this episode https://www.billboard.com/charts/hot-100/1996-06-15/ Connect with Totally 80s and 90s Recall Website: https://bleav.com/shows/totally-80s-and-90s-recall/ Email: 80s90srecall@gmail.com Voicemail: (509) 426-4542 Linktree: https://linktr.ee/80s90srecall Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

“If I loved you less, I might be able to talk about it more,” Jane Austen's well-known line from her classic novel, Emma, written in 1815. Readers will love Mr. Knightley, family friend, who does not hesitate to confront Emma Woodhouse when she is in the wrong. Mr. Knightley: You are materially changed since we talked on this subject before.Emma: I hope so – for at that time I was a fool.Emma befriends young Harriet and attempts to match her with Mr. Elton, coercing Harriet into turning down a proposal of marriage from Mr. Martin. Emma has a bit of a ‘my way or the highway' attitude where Harriet is concerned. Mr. Knightley calls her out because Mr. Martin is a good man. Throw into the mix charming Frank Churchill, the visiting stepson of Emma's governess Mrs. Weston, and things get even more interesting.There is wit and whimsy but as Shakespeare penned, “The course of true love never did run smooth.”Kate's one word summary was humility which leads to growth. Sheila's word was perspective. How we see or understand people is all about our perspective. Won't you dive into this classic with us as we connect to reflect? Blessings!

Shohei just cannot be stopped and is doing things we haven't seen in quite some time. But first, Tim figured out QR codes. Watch out, world! We also button up what it means to "bat around." Well, at least we think we figured it out. Plus, no baby yet for Jeff, so he'll keep hitting the podcast until the new arrival makes an appearance. We also share some father-son facts you may not know involving two current players and two former players. And yes, even Jeff manages to bring Dickie Noles into the conversation. It all makes sense, trust me. The Dodgers love to score runs early, but is that all there is to it? Oneil Cruz is flirting with history, and it involves a whole lot of strikeouts. Plus, a save for Winn. Yeah, you read that right. Jeff bought a sign at Hobby Lobby that is surprisingly accurate. And in Wheel of Kurkjian, he finally gets a chance to show off his umpiring skills.

In this message, we dive into one of the most dramatic, publicly charged encounters in all of the Gospels: The Woman Caught in Adultery (John 8:1–11).When the self-righteous religious leaders tried to use a woman's shame as a weapon to trap Jesus, He flipped the script. Instead of throwing a stone, He stooped to her level, silenced her accusers, and offered her something completely unexpected: scandalous grace paired with a call to holiness.If you are carrying a label the world gave you—"damaged," "failure," "not good enough"—this video is a reminder that the enemy wants to condemn you, but Jesus wants to consecrate you.Key Takeaways from This Message:The Trap of Self-Righteousness: Why it's so easy to become an expert at spotting other people's brokenness to avoid dealing with our own.Condemnation vs. Consecration: Condemnation says you are what you did and labels you unfit for use.

In this episode of the show, Binksy, Baldy, Jamie and Stu look back at the First Test between England and the visiting Black Caps at Lord's.. We start the show by throwing it to the victors as England take a 1-0 lead in this Test series. Jamie is cautious with his optimism, while Binksy takes us through the Lord's experience and we discuss how important victory in any form was to kickstart this next phase of the Stokes/McCullum partnership. As the conversation continues, it inevitably turns to the Lord's pitch, which prompted an apology from the MCC after the surface grabbed most of the headlines. Was this game even watchable from a neutral perspective? And can we really take any lessons from what happened during the course of the game? In a much more enjoyable and positive segment of the show, we return to the cricket on display to discuss the bowling groups from both sides. There were bags for the returning Ollie Robinson and Kyle Jamieson, plus two more for Nathan Smith and Gus Atkinson. Throw in the performances of Will O'Rourke, Josh Tongue and to a lesser extent Matt Henry and Ben Stokes and it's easy to see why the batters had such a tough time navigating the conditions. For the batters, a fifty on debut for Emilio Gay was about the only highlight, so there's a temptation to put the game in the shredder and move on, but did either team get the tactics right? Was there a hint that the Bazball approach may well be changing after all? To round out the show, we briefly discuss what's next for both sides. Will Matt Henry be fit for the second Test? Will Jofra Archer return to England's squad? And is Kane Williamson retiring? We'll be back again with more news and views next week, most likely to look ahead to the second Test and look back at what happened elsewhere around the world.

The west is filled to the brim with incredible talent at the center position, both offensively and defensively. Anthony has always felt they need to focus on that spot, but now feels a specific player type is going to be necessary if the Lakers are going to keep up in that positional arms race.
Support this over on Patreon Follow the instagram Formed in New Jersey in the late 1990s, Houston Calls blended pop punk energy with catchy melodies and heartfelt songwriting. The band quickly built a loyal following through relentless touring and a string of well-received releases. Their sound balanced upbeat hooks with lyrics that captured the uncertainty and excitement of young adulthood. Albums like A Collection of Short Stories and The End of an Error helped establish them as a favorite within the mid-2000s pop punk scene. Known for their polished musicianship and memorable choruses, Houston Calls shared stages with many of the genre's biggest acts during their run. Though no longer active, their music remains a nostalgic touchstone for fans of that era's melodic punk and emo-influenced sound.

For episode 293, I'm joined once again by my co-host Myles Hughes, with producer Steve Prusakowski working behind the scenes on Emmy season content and, of course, TV Topics. This episode, we get into the box office and cultural phenomenon that is Backrooms and Obsession. I wrote a bit about it here in the most recent Sunday Scaries column, while my Obsession review is here. Myles has seen both, while I'm about to catch up with Backrooms, so there's variety in our chat. I've also caught up on The Sheep Detectives, which I loved, and tell Myles all about Masters of the Universe (reviewed here). Throw in some questions and it's a tight little episode...As always my friends and faithful listeners/readers, I do hope you all enjoy the latest episode of the Awards Radar Podcast, our 293rd one to date (here's to many more). Of course, feel free to revisit the previous installments by clicking the Podcast tab (here) on the top of the page. Plus, listen to us on Apple Podcasts (iTunes), Spotify, and other platforms. More to come each and every single week, so from the bottom of my heart, thank you for listening!
Hey friends, Chase here Austin Kleon is back on the show, and this conversation is exactly the kind of reminder every creative person needs. You probably know Austin from Steal Like an Artist, Show Your Work!, and Keep Going, the books that have helped millions of people rethink creativity, sharing, influence, originality, and what it actually means to make things in public. But Austin's new book, Don't Call It Art: 10 Ways to Create Like a Kid Again, goes somewhere even more fundamental. It asks a question that feels especially urgent for creators, entrepreneurs, artists, writers, photographers, parents, and anyone trying to make meaningful work in a world that wants to turn everything into content: What if the way back to your best creative work is not becoming more serious, but becoming more playful? That question matters because most of us have made creativity too heavy. We have wrapped it in identity, pressure, productivity, platforms, metrics, perfectionism, and the fear of being judged. We get stuck asking whether we are real artists, serious writers, successful creators, or legitimate professionals. We worry about the noun before we do the verb. Austin's message is simpler, deeper, and more freeing: "Don't call it art. Don't worry about being an artist. Forget the nouns. Do the verbs. Just make stuff." That idea is the center of this episode. We talk about what kids can teach us about creativity, why play is not frivolous, how to build the conditions for your best work, why attention is your most valuable resource, and why some of the most important ideas in your life might come from goofing off. This conversation is about loosening the grip. It is about getting back to the part of you that makes before it judges, explores before it explains, and follows the energy before it knows exactly where the work is going. Why This Conversation Matters Right Now We are living in a strange moment for creative people. On one hand, there has never been more opportunity. An individual with a laptop, a camera, a newsletter, a sketchbook, a phone, a point of view, or a weird little idea can reach people directly. That is extraordinary. But it also comes with a cost. The pressure to turn every interest into a brand, every hobby into content, every project into a product, and every creative impulse into a strategy has never been stronger. We are constantly being asked to define ourselves: What do you do? What is your niche? What is your platform? What are you building? How are you monetizing it? What is the plan? Those questions can be useful at the right time. But when they show up too early, they can suffocate the very thing they are trying to organize. Austin's work reminds us that creativity begins before identity. Before "artist." Before "writer." Before "photographer." Before "entrepreneur." Before "content creator." Before the nouns, there are verbs. Drawing. Writing. Walking. Noticing. Building. Playing. Collecting. Tinkering. Making. Sharing. Kids understand this instinctively. They do not sit down and ask whether what they are making fits the market. They do not wonder whether they are allowed to call themselves artists. They do not freeze because the thing in front of them might not be good enough. They simply begin. And in that beginning, there is a kind of wisdom most adults have forgotten. What We Explore in This Episode Why kids can be some of the best creativity teachers because they make before they judge, label, or perform. How to reconnect with the feeling you wanted as a kid, not necessarily the exact childhood you had. Why play is not the opposite of serious work, but a form of creative research and development. How to create the conditions for creativity through time, space, materials, and permission. Why tools should feel more like toys if you want to stay curious and experimental. How phones fracture attention and why protecting the edges of your day can change the texture of your life. Why hobbies matter and how bikes, music, golf, drawing, and other forms of play can return us to ourselves. Why "don't call it art" can be liberating for anyone who feels trapped by labels or legitimacy. How to use jealousy, disgust, and frustration as creative information instead of letting them turn into bitterness. Why people pay attention when someone truly believes in what they are doing. The Core Idea: Forget the Nouns. Do the Verbs. The fastest way to get unstuck is often to stop asking what you are and start paying attention to what you do. That sounds simple, but it is one of the biggest traps in creative work. We get obsessed with identity. Am I an artist? Am I a real writer? Am I a serious photographer? Am I a professional? Am I successful enough to call myself this thing? Am I allowed? That kind of thinking can freeze you before you even start. Kids do not have that problem. They are not trying to become "artists." They are drawing. They are building. They are making noise. They are inventing stories. They are throwing materials around and seeing what happens. Austin's point is not that craft does not matter. It is not that ambition does not matter. It is not that we should abandon discipline. It is that the living center of creativity is action. The verb comes first. Make the thing. Move the pencil. Open the notebook. Pick up the guitar. Ride the bike. Take the walk. Make the zine. Shoot the photo. Write the sentence. Start the weird little project that begins with, "Wouldn't it be funny if…" That is where the energy is. Play Is Creative R&D One of the big tensions in this conversation is the voice many of us carry around that says play is not practical. That voice says: You have responsibilities. You need to make money. You need to be serious. You need to have a plan. You need to stop messing around. Austin's response is that play is not the opposite of serious work. Play is often what makes serious work possible. He talks about play as research and development. Any healthy company needs R&D. It needs space to explore, test, wander, fail, and discover things that cannot be found through pure efficiency. The same is true for a creative life. A lot of us start in explore mode. We are curious. We are trying things. We are learning. We are following our taste. We are discovering our voice. Then, if something works, we shift into exploit mode. We repeat the thing. We build a career around it. We systematize it. We professionalize it. We optimize it. That can be useful. But if you stay there forever, you eventually run out of juice. You need space to explore again. That is what play gives you. It returns you to the part of the process where you are not just producing, but discovering. And in creative work, discovery is everything. Create the Conditions, Then Get Out of the Way One of my favorite parts of this conversation is Austin's simple equation: Play = time + space + materials. That may sound almost too simple, but it is profound. When I look back at the most creative seasons of my life, the pattern is obvious. I had uninterrupted time. I had a place to go. I had the right materials around me. I had enough structure to begin and enough freedom to be surprised. That is what we often give kids when we want them to create. We give them a table, some paper, some markers, a chunk of time, and permission to make a mess. Then we grow up and deny ourselves the same basic conditions. We say we are blocked, stuck, confused, or uninspired, but often we have not created an environment where anything could actually emerge. No time. No space. No materials. No quiet. No room to tinker. The lesson is not complicated, but it is easy to forget: Set the conditions. Allow the work to happen. Get out of the way. That is not laziness. That is not indulgence. That is how the good stuff gets a chance to show up. The Best Ideas Often Come From Goofing Off I have said this before, and I mean it: so many of the best ideas in my life have come from goofing off. Not from trying to optimize. Not from grinding. Not from forcing. Not from staring at a blank screen and demanding genius. They came when I was tinkering. Playing. Walking. Talking with friends. Making something that had no obvious point. Trying something because it felt fun, strange, or impossible to explain. Austin and I talk about this because it is one of the hardest things for ambitious people to accept. We want the path to be linear. We want effort to equal outcome. We want the best ideas to come from the most serious hours. But creativity often does not work that way. The mind needs room. The body needs movement. The soul needs a little nonsense. Goofing off is not always avoidance. Sometimes it is how the deeper intelligence gets a chance to speak. Tools Should Be Toys Austin says something in this episode that every creator should sit with: Tools should be toys. That does not mean your tools are unimportant. It means the best tools invite you into a state of play. They make you want to touch them, try them, misuse them, combine them, push them, and see what happens. A sketchbook can be a toy. A camera can be a toy. A guitar pedal can be a toy. A bicycle can be a toy. A cheap notebook, a box of crayons, a microphone, a drum machine, a kitchen table, a phone in airplane mode, a pile of index cards — all of it can become part of the creative playground. The danger is when tools become only professional instruments. When every object in your creative life carries the pressure of output, performance, monetization, or proof, it becomes harder to begin. A toy invites curiosity. And curiosity is one of the most reliable doors back into making. Attention Is the Beginning of Everything Another major theme in this episode is attention. Austin shares a simple practice: start and end the day without your phone. Not as a moral performance. Not as some extreme digital detox. Just as a way to protect the edges of the day from people and companies that do not care about you, but desperately want your attention. That hit me hard. Because attention is not just another resource. In many ways, it is the resource. What you give your attention to shapes your thoughts, your desires, your mood, your relationships, your sense of possibility, and your work. If the first thing you do every morning is hand your mind to the internet, you are letting someone else set the tone for your day. Austin's practice is simple. Coffee. Breakfast. Journal. Kids. Life. Then the phone. At night, the phone charges in the kitchen. Small boundary. Huge impact. Creativity requires attention. And attention has to be protected. Return to Who You Were Before All This There is a beautiful thread in this conversation about returning to the things that made you feel alive before life got complicated. For Austin, that includes riding a bike and playing in a band. For me, golf has become one of those things. Not because it is productive in the traditional sense, but because it gets me outside, off my phone, walking with friends, and fully present for hours. That matters. A lot of people feel lost because they are trying to think their way back into aliveness. But sometimes the way back is physical. Pick up the instrument. Ride the bike. Throw the baseball. Walk the dog. Draw badly. Make noise. Get outside. Do the thing you used to love before you thought it had to mean something. Austin brings up the question: Who were you before all this? Before the career. Before the metrics. Before the audience. Before the obligations. Before the identity got heavy. There may be clues there. Not because you need to go backward, but because some part of you may have been waiting to be invited forward again. Don't Call It Art The title of Austin's book is not a dismissal of art. It is a liberation from the weight we put on the word. For a lot of people, "art" has become intimidating. Sacred. Serious. Something that belongs to museums, geniuses, experts, critics, galleries, and people who have permission. But making is older and deeper than all of that. Kids understand this. They do not call it art. They just do things. And when we stop obsessing over whether something is art, we create more room to actually make. We get less precious. Less frozen. Less performative. Less worried about the label and more connected to the act. That is the invitation: Don't call it art. Don't worry about being an artist. Forget the nouns. Do the verbs. Just make stuff. It sounds almost too simple. That is why it works. Use What Bothers You Austin also offers a surprising creative tactic: pay attention to what you hate. Not publicly. Not performatively. Not as a way to become bitter or cynical. But privately, as information. Disgust can point toward values. Frustration can reveal desire. Jealousy can show you something you want. The things that bother you can become clues, if you are willing to ask what the opposite would look like. Instead of turning your irritation into a rant, turn it into a project. What would you rather see in the world? What is the opposite of the thing you cannot stand? What would it look like to make that? That shift is powerful because it transforms complaint into creation. It turns "I hate this" into "What if we made something different?" People Pay Attention to Belief Near the end of the conversation, Austin shares a line from Kim Gordon that I love: "People will pay to watch other people believe in themselves." That is true in art. It is true in music. It is true in entrepreneurship. It is true in leadership. It is true in life. We are drawn to people who are alive in what they are doing. Not perfect. Not polished beyond recognition. Not optimized into sameness. Alive. When someone believes in what they are making, that belief travels. This does not mean you will always feel confident. It does not mean you will never doubt yourself. It does not mean every idea will work. It means you keep returning to the work. You keep paying attention to what matters to you. You keep making the thing only you can make in the way only you can make it. That is where the signal comes from.

Where am I making creativity heavier than it needs to be? What noun am I clinging to that might be keeping me from doing the verb? What conditions do I need in order to make more freely? Do I have time, space, and materials available on a regular basis? What tool in my life could become more like a toy? Where is my attention being stolen before I have a chance to choose? What hobby, activity, or form of play would help me return to myself? What bothers me enough that it might contain a creative clue? What would I make this week if I stopped worrying whether it counted as art? A Simple Practice for Making Like a Kid Again Here's something practical you can do this week. Set aside one uninterrupted hour. No phone. No audience. No outcome. No need to make something good. Choose a space. Put a few materials in front of you. Paper and markers. A camera. A guitar. A notebook. Clay. Index cards. A laptop with the internet off. Whatever feels inviting. Then begin with this prompt: Wouldn't it be funny if… Follow whatever comes next. Do not evaluate it too early. Do not ask what it is for. Do not decide whether it is art. Do not turn it into a brand, a strategy, or a pitch deck. Just make stuff. Then notice how you feel. Notice what surprised you. Notice whether something small wants to keep going. That is enough. Final Thought The longer I do this work, the more I believe that creativity is not something we need to earn. It is something we need to return to. It was there before the labels. Before the pressure. Before the metrics. Before the platforms. Before the fear of being judged. Before we learned to ask whether we were allowed. Austin's invitation in this conversation is simple, generous, and quietly radical: Stop making creativity so precious that you cannot touch it. Give yourself time. Give yourself space. Give yourself materials. Protect your attention. Find your friends. Pick up the toy. Follow the weird little idea. Let yourself begin before you know what it means. Until next time: forget the nouns, do the verbs, and just make stuff.

Did a staggering 0-5 record for the Trump and Todd Blanche DOJ for the week May 22-May29, spell the end of Blanche's ability to not only practice law in the future, but to obtain enough votes in the Senate to keep the AG job? Popok takes a close look at what defense lawyers now MUST argue in every one of their cases based on last week's results, and how the dam is breaking against Trump's DOJ as courts consider whether he regularly commits Fraud on the Court and should be sanctioned.

Huge NFL shakeups dominate the cycle with Myles Garrett heading to the Rams and AJ Brown joining the Patriots, while the Mets suffer a brutal extra-innings loss to the Mariners. Meanwhile, it's non-stop Knicks-Spurs hype, covering Mitchell Robinson's injury drama, Mike Brown game planning for Wemby, and Adam Schein's ultimate championship confidence. Throw in the Barstool Internet Invitational, Jerry's updates, and your best caller hot takes for a fully packed show.
Ken and Lima dissect Todd Monken's surprisingly harsh public comments about Brendan Sorsby, with Lima making a genuinely wild but hard to dismiss point that no NFL head coach in recent memory has ever spoken that negatively about a potential draft pick, and wondering out loud whether Andrew Berry told him to say exactly that to scare off competition in the supplemental draft blind auction. The broader post-trade reality sets in as Ken admits he was completely wrong to think the Browns were trying to compete this year, arguing that trading Myles Garrett is the clearest possible signal that they have zero faith in their quarterback room and everything is pointed at 2027. Ken gives Todd Monken something close to a pass on wins and losses this season but draws the line at the offense, saying after two years of free agency spending, high draft capital, and an offensive head coach, scoring more than 16 points a game is the bare minimum expectation. Tom Pelissero is up next and Ken wants one answer above everything else: how long ago was this trade actually agreed to?
After years of advising CEOs and senior leaders, she's learned that the higher you climb, the more the same human stuff shows up: insecurity, miscommunication, fear of failure, and avoiding the conversations nobody wants to have. In this episode, Erin sits down with the self-proclaimed "C-Suite Whisperer" , Paru Radia, to talk about tough conversations, turning adversity into an advantage, and why standing still might be the riskiest thing you can do.

"If you are not confident about the things that you don't like about yourself, you are giving people ammunition to also dislike you. Just own it." "Magic happens in momentum." "The magic won't happen if something is standing still. You need other things to happen for the reaction to happen, which equates to magic." Editor's note: This transcript has been edited for clarity, readability, and length while preserving the core conversation and key teaching moments. In this episode, Erin talks with executive strategist Paru Radia about how to navigate tough conversations at work, communicate with more clarity, own the messy parts of your story, and use momentum to create real career growth. Their conversation covers executive coaching, leadership communication, performance reviews, workplace conflict, career transitions, and the real-life messes behind success. Transcript Why Paru Calls Herself the C-Suite Whisperer Erin: You call yourself the C-Suite Whisperer. If I saw that on a page without knowing you, I might side-eye it. But after meeting you, I thought, "Oh my gosh, she totally is." Where did that come from? Paru: I was talking to a client a few years ago, describing what I do without making it sound too prescriptive. I was explaining how I listen, question, translate, and help executives understand what is really happening. I thought of the show Ghost Whisperer, where someone translates what ghosts are saying to the people who cannot hear them. I realized, "I do what she does, but for executives." So I said, "I'm a C-Suite whisperer." She completely got it. A week later, she told someone she had hired a C-Suite whisperer, then wrote about me on LinkedIn using that phrase. So I thought, "I guess that's what I am." Erin: I love that idea of translating between what someone says and what people actually hear. What gets mistranslated the most when you are working with executives? Paru: Intention. And that applies to everyone. People are often so busy thinking about themselves, what they mean, and what they think other people are hearing that they miss how the message is actually landing. I do not mean that in an arrogant way. No matter how senior you get, it is the same stuff with more at stake. It is the same insecurity, the same miscommunication, the same desire for the business to be successful, the same desire to look good, be liked, be understood, be seen, and be heard. We are all human. The stakes just get higher. How Childhood Shaped Her Ability to Read People Erin: I saw in another interview that when you were asked what time in your life you would change, you mentioned primary school and high school. What were those years like, and how did they shape the bold person you are now? Paru: I want to be careful with that answer. I am really happy in my life now, and I know I would not be where I am today without everything I experienced. But if I could still be where I am today and remove some of the pain from those years, I would. I grew up in a very conservative, traditional Indian household in the seventies and early eighties in racist Britain. We had bricks thrown through our window. We had racial slurs shouted at us. As a child, I had people on the street threaten me because I was Indian. It was scary. Some of that racism translated to school. I was made fun of for being Indian. I was also a chubby kid, so I was made fun of for that too. What happened was that it became safer for me to observe than to participate. It was safer to figure out where the next landmine was or where the next grenade might be thrown. That has worked in my favor now. I observe closely. I have a very keen eye and a very keen ear. I think some of that came from life circumstances that forced me to develop those skills. Erin: That makes so much sense. For people listening who have gone through challenges, trauma, or difficult experiences, how do they start to turn those things into a strength? Paru: First, be kind to yourself. And I do not mean that in a fluffy way. I mean dig deep and own everything about yourself. I am a big advocate of owning all of it. When I work with clients, I am their biggest fan, but I am also very direct. I often say that when you work with me, you will be punched and hugged at the same time. I am not soft. I will tell you things other people are too scared to tell you. I will tell you things you may not want to hear. But I am also there to catch you. I am not doing it to be mean. I am doing it to be real, so we can actually address what is happening. The first step is not self-filtering or apologizing for what is true. If something happened, it happened. If you messed something up, own it. If you do not like something about yourself, name it. Many people start to malfunction when they are not being who they really are. When you try to cover something up or perform as someone else, it creates friction. It is what it is. Own it. If you are not confident about the things you dislike about yourself, you give other people ammunition to dislike those things too. Own them. There are things about me I do not think are fantastic, but I love them anyway. It has taken me a long time to get here. Why Tough Conversations Matter Erin: One thing I wanted to talk to you about is tough conversations at work. The employee who is not performing. The job elimination. The numbers that are not hitting forecast. A lot of smart, capable people want to crawl under their desk when it is time to have those conversations. What advice do you give them? Paru: I love tough conversations. Erin: Why? Paru: Because they are the beginning of something different. Once you have the tough conversation, something is going to change. It might be an action, a perception, or a mindset, but something shifts. I am all for change. I challenge the status quo all the time. I am always looking to be better, do better, and grow. I want that for my clients too. When it comes to tough conversations, language is incredibly important. If I were giving general advice, I would say: get out of your own head and be factual. Avoid making everything about "you," because that can sound aggressive. Keep it business-focused. Ask questions. Do not go straight into the conversation without understanding the other person. Be genuinely curious. I start many difficult conversations by asking for the person's understanding of the topic first. That way, we are on the same page. Then I can share my definition or perspective. That moves me from being opposite them to being next to them. It becomes, "This is how I am looking at it. How are you looking at it?" Then I stay factual. I might say, "The business needs this. The problem we have is this. What do you think we could do about that?" If their answer is not feasible, I might say, "Here is what I am thinking. What are your thoughts on that?" Behavioral issues are different and need more specific examples, but in general, curiosity, clarity, and facts matter. How to Approach a Performance Conversation Erin: Let's use an example. Joe is a project manager. He has moments of brilliance, but he is inconsistent. Sometimes he solves a big problem. Other times, he makes promises he cannot deliver, or his work is not good. How would you coach someone to have that conversation? Paru: There is a lot I would want to understand first. I would want to know what is going through Joe's mind when he performs well, and what is going through his mind when he does not. I would ask whether Joe agrees with the assessment that he is inconsistent. Does he think he is not performing well? What does "well" look like to him? What outcome does he want? I am very outcome-focused. I always ask, "What outcome are you looking for?" Then we work backwards. Many people start from where they are and move forward, but ego and fear get in the way. They think, "I do not want to look bad. I do not want them to think this. I do not want to say that." As a kid, I never saw the point of doing a maze by constantly hitting walls. I would start in the middle, draw the path backwards, and say, "This is the way to get there." I approach coaching the same way. When we start with the outcome, ego becomes less of a problem. We can say, "If you want that outcome, it will take this. You will need to say this. You will need to do that." Once the person can see the outcome clearly, they are usually willing to put their ego aside because they know what they are aiming for. Erin: So with Joe, instead of starting with, "How do you think you are doing?" you would start with what he wants? Paru: Yes. If Joe says, "I want a promotion," I would ask, "What do you think it would take for that promotion to be awarded to you?" He might say he needs to perform at a certain level. Then I would ask, "What would it take to perform at that level?" We would look at relationships, technical ability, consistency, communication, and everything else involved. If relationships are part of the issue, I would ask, "What would your relationship with your boss need to look like?" I do not call myself a coach. I am an executive strategist. Coaching is part of what I do, but I am also opinionated and will share my perspective. I do not do that upfront. I want the client to get there first, but if they do not, I will share what I see. So I might say, "To me, it sounds like your boss needs to see this, this, and this. Right now, you are not showing it. What can we do to make sure you show that?" Why Clarity Changes the Conversation Erin: I love that because so many people go into reviews and ask broad questions like, "How do you think you are doing?" But that can feel like a trap. Paru: Exactly. I like asking a lot of questions to get clarity. Clarity is the first word on my website because it matters so much. When there is clarity, you can have conversations without obsessing over, "What are they going to think? How are they going to take it? What if they do not understand me?" If someone asks me a question that is too broad, I usually do not answer it right away. I ask for context. If someone asked me in a performance review, "How do you think you are doing?" I would either break the answer into categories or ask, "Is there a specific context for that question, or is there a category you would like me to focus on first?" That way, I know I am answering the question they are actually asking, not the question I think they might be asking. Erin: That is such a useful takeaway. If someone asks a question that feels too big or like a landmine, you can ask for clarity. You can say, "Are you asking about my attitude, my deadlines, my communication, or something else?" Paru: Yes. It gives everyone a better chance of having the real conversation. Preparing for High-Stakes Business Conversations Erin: Let's say someone is going into a quarterly business review with their boss, the CFO, and other senior leaders. The business has missed revenue numbers three months in a row. Most people would dread that conversation. How would you advise them to go into it? Paru: If there is going to be a tough conversation with a group, I would get to the audience before they are all in the same room. Relationships are easier one-to-one. If there are four senior stakeholders in the room, I would try to speak with each one individually beforehand. I want to know what I am walking into. I want to be able to predict what is coming my way. If I can preempt some of that through individual conversations, I am better equipped to have a potential solution, even if I have not fully actioned it yet. I might still get hurt a little, but I am less likely to get destroyed by the meeting. Erin: So you would have those pre-conversations, understand the feedback and questions, and make sure the missed numbers are not a surprise. What else? Paru: I would want to know why the numbers were missed. What went wrong? How can it be fixed? How can you make sure it does not happen again? What will you do differently? How do you feel about it? Then I would help the person take ownership of the parts they are responsible for. I would help them own the mistakes with confidence instead of becoming defensive. No one wants to deal with someone who is defensive. The audience is already taking care of themselves. They do not have time to take care of your defensiveness too. Go into the meeting understanding the problems, owning the mistakes, and bringing possible solutions. Why Magic Happens in Momentum Erin: You said something that caught my eye: "Magic happens in momentum." Tell us more about that. Paru: I had that as the screenshot on my phone for about a year. There is an old saying that standing still is the equivalent of moving backwards. Things move. Things change. People evolve. Time passes. If you are not moving, you are going backwards. Even if you are scared, do it anyway. Change will happen. You will grow. You will learn something. You might learn, "I do not like that," or "That did not work," but at least now you know and can move forward. I am a big fan of momentum. Standing still bores me. That is my personality. Some people love stability. I am not risk-averse. I like newness, change, and growth. Momentum creates that. Erin: When I read that, I thought about momentum in relationships too. Someone sends an email saying, "I loved your book," or "I loved your coaching session." There is a difference between responding three days later and capturing that energy in the moment. Paru: Yes. People are forgetful, and enthusiasm dwindles. If someone says, "I loved your book," and you respond a month later, they have already moved on to the next shiny object. The effort it takes to remind them how great you are becomes wasted energy. When there is energy, build on it. That is what improv taught me too. I did improv classes for a year, and so much of improv is about building on other people's ideas. Momentum works the same way. You do something, then the next thing, then the next thing. Magic is the result of action causing a reaction. If everything is standing still, nothing reacts. You need movement for the reaction to happen. The Expiration Date on Favors Erin: For our listeners, especially corporate women in mid-career and up, momentum is so important in relationships and sponsorship. If a senior leader notices what you are doing or reaches out after a good meeting, grab that momentum. Paru: I have the same theory with favors. If you have done something for someone and they say, "Let me know if there is anything I can do for you," there is always an expiration date on that offer. If there is something they can genuinely do, do not waste the favor. But if there is something meaningful, ask while the momentum is there. They have just experienced the good feeling of what you did for them. That feeling will dwindle. People get distracted. Later, they may still help, but it is harder. Erin: A body in motion tends to stay in motion. Paru: Exactly. The Messes Behind Successes Erin: I want to talk about your book, Messes Behind Successes. What is the premise? Paru: It is about navigating reality on your rise to the top. I am tired of reading books about unicorn billionaires. I am happy for them, but many of those stories sound like, "Life was tough, I lost money, then I was on the golf course with my dad's best friend and he invested in my business. Now look at me." That is great for them, but how does that help the rest of us? I do not have a rich dad. I do not have a golf course. I did not go to Harvard, and most people did not either. We hear success stories, but we rarely get a real how-to guide for navigating the mess on the way there. Mess is real. People get married. People get divorced. People move houses or countries. People get sick. People pass away. That is the personal side. At work, you may not get along with your boss. You may not get the promotion. You may mess up an interview, a meeting, or a target. You may be scared you are going to get fired. People do not talk enough about those moments. I am interviewing C-suite leaders who look very successful on paper, and many of them are successful and happy. But they had so much mess along the way. I want to share those stories so people do not feel alone, and so they have tangible examples of how to navigate real life and still make it. Erin: I love that. Those are the stories people need when they are wondering whether they should go for the career move, the big meeting, the executive job, or the new business. It is inspiring to hear how people got through the hard parts. Paru: Exactly. The mess is part of the story. Helping People Recalibrate in Career and Life Erin: Who is your ideal client? Who might be listening and think, "I would really benefit from working with Paru"? Paru: I work with executives in corporations, first-time CEOs, C-suite leaders, rising C-suite leaders, small businesses, startups, and multi-billion-dollar companies. I love working with first-time CEOs because they often do not realize how great they are, and I get to help them shine. I also work with individuals in transition. A lot of people come to me saying, "I want to do this," or "I want to do that," and I ask, "Why?" I really want to know why. About half the time, once they answer that question, they realize they have been working so hard for a dream that is no longer their dream. Their dream has changed. I love when those epiphanies happen. I like helping people in transition understand who they are deep down. Things happen along the way, and sometimes people need to recalibrate. Who are you today because of everything that happened, or despite everything that happened? What does today's version of you want? That is what I want to know, and then I want to help you get there. Where to Find Paru Erin: Where can people follow you and get more of your brilliance? Paru: The only social media platform I am on is LinkedIn. You can find me there as Paru Radia. You can also visit my website. I share a lot of my thoughts, stories, and lessons on LinkedIn. The book also includes many personal stories, including some I cringed while writing. But they are a big part of who I have become, how I think, and how I operate. Erin: Please promise me you will read your own audiobook. Paru: I absolutely will. Erin: Good. Your personality and authenticity need to come through in the audio version. Thank you for sharing your candor, your insights, and part of yourself with us today. Paru: Thank you for opening the door into your world and letting me in. It has been so much fun.
