My whole life, I've only know of one profession: Knight of the Cloth. There are Oaths to take. Oaths you should not break, cannot break. I took them before I could grow hair on my chin. The Divine Order taught me many things. Mostly how to fight with a sword and not embarrass myself in front of dignitaries. I can recite 9 different prayers for the morning, tell the difference between most devils and demons at a glance but I have no idea how to balance a budget. Contracts are a foreign concept, I was taught that my word was stronger than ironwood. I do not have the training, the brains nor the stomach for politicking. I've always hated the dishonesty of it all. But here I am, having to be dishonest to everyone because he is always listening and if he finds out what I have planned I would have died for no reason, like so many others before me.If you're still wanting to pledge for the Jarren's Outpost Board Game you can right here!

Wednesday March 2nd 2026 - Dental Caries - In another tightly scripted Newsround we cover the big news that has broken over the weekend whilst we've been away, whether Jim Carrey is the real Jim Carrey or someone pretending to be Jim Carrey and why are they pretending and what is wrong with dim internet idiots that think anything like this could be true? I think that's all that's been happening. You'll all be doing it in the playground tomorrow.Tuesday March 3rd 2026 - House of Boobs - Rich and Ally are back with all the big news. Today a regime has been toppled and a vacuum remains, but who will fill it and will it be Rich and Ally. Surely after doing so many of these, so brilliantly , it can't be long before TV comes knocking. Unless it's all part of a bigger show already. I know you know what I mean.Thursday March 3rd 2026 - Bad Influence - Rich and Ally are back after a brief hiatus with breaking news of a war in Iran and the one good consequence of it all. Will the show be heading to Dubai soon to make the most of the tax free status of podcasters and other shills? Only if the money is right.Friday 6th March 2026 - Worse Than Hitler - Richard uses Newsround as a forum for his petty grievances and then uses today's newsround to chat about am historical figures that younger viewers may not have heard of. Did Hitler have one ball? Did he escape his bunker to go to Argentina? Is he the oldest man in the world but unable to show off about it? All these questions will be answered by someone who clearly has the intelligence and disposition to be on prime time TV.Titles by Andy BobbinMusic by Mike CosgraveDirected by Chris Evans.Any similarity to John Craven's Newsround is entirely coincidental Hosted on Acast.

"this job is really primarily a people job" "if you get the right people, you don't have to spend a lot of time micromanaging; get out of their way and let them do their thing" "you have to be the type of boss that people are not afraid to bring bad news" "you all have everything you need to be successful at Dow" "if you treat Japanese people with integrity, trust, respect, like you would want to be treated like anywhere else in the world, you're going to be fine" Brief Bio Peter Jennings is President of Dow in Japan and Korea, overseeing a multi-billion-dollar business and thousands of employees across both markets. He joined Dow as an attorney and spent twenty-seven years in legal roles before being unexpectedly tapped for senior business leadership. Before moving to Japan in 2012, he served in Hong Kong as general counsel for Dow Asia Pacific and later returned to the United States for several senior assignments. His transition from legal counsel to country president reflects a career shaped by adaptability, deep institutional knowledge, and a strong people-first philosophy. In Japan, he became Dow's longest-serving president in the market's history, leading cultural renewal, leadership development, diversity initiatives, and a more open, internationally minded operating model inside a long-established Japanese organisation. Peter Jennings presents a compelling case that leadership success in Japan does not begin with technical mastery, perfect language, or rigid adherence to stereotype. It begins with trust. When he arrived in Japan in 2012, one year after the Tohoku earthquake, he came not as a traditional commercial operator but as a long-serving Dow lawyer with deep corporate knowledge and international experience. That unusual path could easily have created distance between him and a highly experienced Japanese leadership team. Instead, it became an advantage because he did not arrive pretending to know everything. He arrived listening. His early approach was simple and disciplined. He met leaders individually, asked about their biggest issues, wrote everything down, and focused on how he could help. In a market where nemawashi, ringi-sho, consensus-building, and careful internal alignment still shape decision-making, that restraint mattered. Rather than impose a foreign leadership template, Jennings worked to understand how trust and respect are earned locally. He recognised that formal authority in Japan means little unless people feel safe enough to speak candidly. Over time, the proof of progress was behavioural. Senior staff started challenging him privately after meetings. Employees began dropping by for coffee or lunch. More importantly, people brought bad news earlier. For Jennings, that was a decisive signal of culture change. He argues that if people fear punishment, information gets buried. In a high uncertainty avoidance environment, leaders must reduce the interpersonal risk of honesty before they can improve decision quality. That is where leadership and decision intelligence meet: better outcomes come from better information flow, not louder authority. He also reshaped the leadership bench. Over several years, Dow Japan moved from a more traditional senior male model towards a younger, more diverse, bilingual, bicultural team. Jennings takes particular satisfaction not in personal advancement but in seeing talented people, especially women, promoted into larger roles. He frames leadership as removing obstacles, securing resources, and backing capable people rather than controlling them. That is a significant shift away from hierarchical supervision and towards empowerment. Another major insight concerns engagement. Rather than accept low survey scores as a fixed Japan problem, Jennings replaced abstract annual questionnaires with thirty small-group focus sessions built around four direct questions. This surfaced practical barriers that a standardised survey missed. In effect, he moved from broad sentiment tracking to grounded organisational sensing. That approach resembles a more human version of modern management tools such as digital twins or data-led diagnostic systems: the aim is not data volume, but usable insight. Jennings remains optimistic about Japan's future because he sees a new generation less constrained by inherited conventions. He believes many younger professionals want accelerated careers, global exposure, flexibility, and merit-based opportunity. His lesson is clear: leadership in Japan works best when it combines respect for consensus with encouragement for initiative, local sensitivity with global openness, and humility with conviction. Q&A Summary What makes leadership in Japan unique? Leadership in Japan is shaped by context more than cliché. Jennings suggests the distinctive challenge is not that Japanese teams are uniquely difficult, but that trust must be earned carefully and consistently. Consensus matters, and leaders must respect the logic behind nemawashi and ringi-sho rather than dismiss them as slow. People observe behaviour closely before deciding whether a leader is safe, credible, and worth following. Titles alone do not create followership. In practice, leadership in Japan requires patience, consistency, and a visible commitment to fairness. Why do global executives struggle? Many global executives struggle because they arrive overconfident or over-programmed. Jennings argues that outsiders often assume prior Asia experience transfers automatically into Japan. It does not. Japan requires a different cadence, especially around rapport, internal alignment, and decision support. Executives also fail when they underestimate how long trust-building takes. Jennings says it took two to three years before he felt his influence had truly taken root. Leaders who expect quick wins often misread silence as agreement and hierarchy as commitment. Is Japan truly risk-averse? Jennings does not deny caution exists, but he reframes the issue as uncertainty rather than simple risk aversion. In environments with strong uncertainty avoidance, employees can hesitate because the social cost of error feels high. That does not mean they lack ambition or imagination. It means leadership must lower the penalty for speaking up, experimenting, and surfacing problems. When employees believe bad news will be handled constructively, innovation becomes more possible. The issue is less about national character and more about psychological safety. What leadership style actually works? The style that works is people-centred, transparent, and supportive. Jennings repeatedly returns to one principle: leadership is a people job. He believes leaders should ask good questions, listen well, help teams secure resources, and avoid micromanagement. They should also model openness by welcoming challenge and by rewarding honesty instead of punishing it. This style aligns well with consensus cultures because it does not destroy harmony; it strengthens it through trust. Effective leaders also create points of light by visibly backing talented people into bigger roles. How can technology help? Technology can support leadership, but it cannot replace human judgment. Jennings' critique of standard engagement surveys shows that data without context often misleads. Better systems should improve signal quality, not merely produce dashboards. In that sense, tools associated with decision intelligence, workforce analytics, or even digital twins of organisational processes can help leaders identify bottlenecks, bias, and friction. Yet Jennings' own example shows the real breakthrough came from direct conversation. Technology is most useful when it sharpens listening rather than substitutes for it. Does language proficiency matter? Language proficiency helps, but Jennings suggests it is not decisive. He openly acknowledges not speaking Japanese, yet built credibility through authenticity, gratitude, and respectful conduct. He believes leaders can succeed without perfect language if they behave with integrity, remain accessible, and work through strong local talent. Language matters less than whether people believe the leader is genuine, fair, and willing to learn. Cultural arrogance is far more damaging than imperfect fluency. What's the ultimate leadership lesson? The ultimate lesson is that people rise when leaders combine belief with opportunity. Jennings insists that employees already possess the education and ability to succeed; what often separates performance is confidence, encouragement, and the chance to act. Great leadership in Japan is therefore not about overpowering culture but about unlocking potential within it. When leaders blend respect, transparency, empowerment, and resilience, they create an organisation where people are willing to speak, grow, and lead.

Healthcare executive and leadership author Jim Carlo joins me to unpack a deceptively simple idea: leadership isn't granted by a title — it's earned through trust.In many organizations, the path to management still looks the same. A strong individual contributor performs well, gets promoted, and suddenly finds themselves responsible for leading people without any real preparation for what leadership actually requires.This conversation explores what happens in that transition.Jim Carlo reflects on 35+ years in the healthcare industry, including lessons from his earliest leadership roles where, by his own admission, he made many of the mistakes new leaders make. Moving from authority-based management to trust-based leadership is rarely immediate — it's something leaders grow into through experience, humility, and reflection.We talk through the psychological hurdles that show up when people step into leadership for the first time, including imposter syndrome and the pressure to immediately prove competence. Jim argues that the instinct to start talking and directing is often the wrong move. The most effective leaders begin by listening, observing, and learning how their teams actually operate.The conversation also explores how leadership itself is evolving as organizations adapt to new technologies like artificial intelligence. While AI may automate processes and flatten hierarchies, the human dimensions of leadership — empathy, trust, emotional awareness, and stability — remain irreplaceable.Where machines can optimize outputs, leaders must understand people.Jim shares the framework he's developing to help leaders earn the “right to lead,” built around principles like transparency, emotional intelligence, consistency, and integrity. These are not soft skills. They are the foundation of trust, and without trust, leadership collapses into authority without followership.This episode is a candid discussion about leadership maturity, organizational culture, and why the most important skill for modern leaders may simply be learning how to show up — consistently, transparently, and human.The lesson isn't about commanding authority.It's about becoming someone people genuinely want to follow.TL;DR• Leadership is not granted by a title — it's earned through trust• New managers often struggle with imposter syndrome and overcompensation• The best leaders begin by listening before directing• AI may automate processes, but it cannot replace human leadership• Emotional intelligence and empathy are becoming more important, not less• Stability and consistency from leaders create psychological safety for teams• Leadership development is a lifelong process, not a one-time promotionMemorable Lines“Leadership isn't about authority — it's about followership.”“The first thing a new leader wants to do is talk. The best thing they can do is listen.”“Integrity is non-negotiable. Without trust, leadership doesn't exist.”“AI can measure performance, but it can't understand people.”“Leadership evolves because people and environments evolve.”GuestJim Carlo — Healthcare executive, leadership author, and speakerA 35-year veteran of the healthcare industry, Jim has worked across insurance and healthcare technology while developing leadership frameworks designed to help organizations build trust-driven leadership cultures.

Are your podcast downloads flat even though you are showing up consistently? Are you posting clips, booking guests, and still not seeing podcast growth? Are you wondering if your strategy is missing something important? I want you to know this is fixable. When you shift the foundation of your podcast strategy, everything starts to work together. In this episode, I break down the biggest mistakes I see in podcast marketing, from relying too heavily on content recycling to using the wrong guest strategy. We talk about why vague episode titles, weak show notes, and overlooked cover art can quietly hurt your visibility. I also explain how poor podcast retention often comes from missing or unclear call to action, and how that directly impacts your results. You will also hear how podcast SEO plays a key role in driving real organic growth, and why copying celebrity podcasters will not move the needle for your show. Every part of your podcast needs to guide the listener somewhere on purpose. My promise is this. When your podcast is built with intention, clear positioning, and strong next steps, your downloads and impact can grow in a way that actually feels aligned and sustainable.

Send a textWhen counsel comes fast and loud, it often misses the heart. We dive into Job's exchange with Zophar to unpack why a hasty answer can wound the wounded and how jealousy often hides beneath “correction.” Job's steady hope in God's vindication rattled his friends, not because he was wrong, but because his faith exposed their insecurity. We slow the scene down, examine the Hebrew sense of Zophar's agitation, and track the shift from inner turmoil to hostile speech—proof that tone is theology in motion.From there, we connect the dots to 1 Kings 13, where an older prophet lured a younger one off a clear assignment. Titles and age can sound authoritative, but discernment tests spirits and stays on mission. We talk practical guardrails: listen longer than you speak, ask what your words will build, and let Scripture set both your content and your cadence. True boldness carries light that clarifies, not heat that scorches. If your “truth” leaves only smoke and ashes, it is not serving the King.We also wrestle with fair-weather friendship and the subtle ways people attach worth to status, not character. When the scaffolding of success falls, motives surface: some will root for your failure, others will narrate your pain as proof of guilt. We offer a way forward—believe patterns when you see them, set tender boundaries, and choose companions who grieve before they guide. And when you feel the itch to correct in haste, choose the discipline of silence until your words can serve.Join us as we trade reaction for reflection, envy for admiration, and bullying for a shepherd's voice. If this conversation helps you speak with more light and less heat, share it with a friend, subscribe for future deep dives, and leave a review with one practice you'll try this week.RISE RADIOEach week we discuss some of the most important issues we face in our society today.Listen on: Apple Podcasts SpotifySupport the showBE PROVOKED AND BE PERSUADED!

SwimSwam sat down with Nic Askew, the head coach for Howard University's swimming and diving teams (as well as tennis), who is coming off a historic performance at the NEC Conference Champs. Not only did the Howard men's swimming defend their team title from last year, but the women joined the party this year, winning their first conference championship in program history. As the coach of the only HBCU to field a Division I Swimming & Diving program, Askew knows how to put things in perspective. He knows that to win a team title, it takes a team effort. He wasn't shy about the fact that neither group had the top-end firepower in the pool of past teams. However, Askew emphasizes more than just performing for the clock. He tells his staff and athletes they have one job daily: making the team better. That can happen with effort during dryland, positive attitudes during practice, and helping teammates with their studies. Everyone plays a role when it comes to team success, no matter what times you're swimming at the end of the season. If you have an opportunity to score in a 400 IM B-Final, that is just as valuable to the team's performance as scoring in an A-Final of a 50 or 100 free. With this philosophy in mind, Askew got buy-in from his whole team, making sure everyone felt a part of something bigger than themselves. With both the men's and women's team races coming down to the final session, the belief in the team was what pushed both of these groups over the finish line first.

We're traveling through Revelation one verse at a time, here on Light on the Hill with pastor James Kaddis. Today we'll be resuming a discussion on the titles of Jesus, found in chapters two and three. The first one we'll have a look at is when Jesus calls Himself the first and the last. This communicates something very important to us. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/1459/29?v=20251111

Schedule a free discovery call. https://marriedentrepreneur.co/lets-talk In this powerful and deeply human conversation, Robert and Kay Lee sit down with Mark Whitacre and Ginger Whitacre, the real-life couple behind one of the largest whistleblower cases in U.S. history—famously portrayed in the film The Informant!. But this episode goes far beyond headlines and Hollywood. It's a raw look at what happens to a marriage when secrecy, fear, ambition, and integrity collide—and how faith and perseverance can hold a family together when everything else falls apart. Ginger opens up about the hidden cost of Mark's three years undercover with the FBI—years she carried alone, unable to ask for prayer or support, living daily with the fear that her husband might not come home. Even prison, she shares, was easier than the silence and isolation of those years. For married entrepreneurs, her story is a sobering reminder: success at any cost eventually sends the bill home. Yet it's also a testimony to resilience, boundaries, and the power of shared purpose when life feels unmanageable. Mark reflects on his transformation—from a high-flying executive addicted to money, titles, and approval, to a man who redefined success as significance. Prison became the unlikely place where faith reshaped his identity, restored his marriage, and redirected his leadership. Today, he serves in marketplace ministry while working with Coca-Cola Consolidated, a company once directly impacted by the case. For couples building businesses together, this episode is a masterclass in integrity, redemption, and choosing what matters most—before the cost becomes too high. Key Takeaways for Married Entrepreneurs Success without integrity always charges interest. What looks like a "golden handcuff" can quietly imprison your marriage and values. You can't neglect the marriage and expect it to survive the mission. Ginger's role reminds us that teamwork and communication are non-negotiable. Redefine success early. Titles, money, and growth are empty if they cost connection, faith, and family. Hard seasons reveal true leadership. Mark's shift from achievement to service saved both his marriage and his future impact. There is life—and purpose—after failure. Redemption is possible in business, marriage, and calling when humility leads the way.

Authority is temporary. Titles change. Roles evolve. Ownership transfers. Careers shift. But something always remains. In Episode 678 of Daily Influence, Brian Smith, PhD explores leadership beyond position, control, or title — and challenges leaders to examine what truly endures after authority ends. In this episode: • Why authority is granted — but influence is earned • The leadership behaviors that outlive careers • How to design influence that improves others after you're gone • The difference between building control and building capacity Drawing from The I in Team Series™ and SMART structural influence principles, Brian asks a powerful question: If your title disappeared tomorrow, what would remain? Because authority ends. But influence echoes. Listen now and reflect on the legacy you are actively designing.

This sermon explores Jesus's act of washing the disciples' feet at the Last Supper as a profound demonstration of servant leadership and divine love. The message challenges believers to understand that God's service to humanity is not based on our worthiness, position, or behavior, but solely on His love for us. Just as Jesus served His disciples—including Judas who would betray Him—Christians are called to serve others with humility, setting aside pride and titles to pick up the towel of service. The sermon emphasizes that serving is about purpose, not position, and that we are blessed not for our own sake but to bless others. The ultimate example of this service is the Gospel itself—Jesus living the life we couldn't live, dying the death we deserved, and rising again. The message urgently calls believers to walk in their God-given purpose and serve the world while there is still time.

Lindenwood Athletic Director Jason Coomer breaks down a banner year across the department. The women's basketball team clinches a share of the OVC regular-season title and enters the tournament as a No. 2 seed, while the men's team surges with a dominant road win at Western Illinois. Coomer details St. Charles County's growth and the department's two-word mission, “Hang banners.” Plus, the rapid rise of Division I hockey with signature wins over Notre Dame, Wisconsin, and Denver, the upcoming United Collegiate Hockey Cup at Centene Community Ice Center, football's push under Jed Stugart, and MLB Network's Greg Amsinger staying connected to his Lindenwood roots.

The duo also dishes on the reality of living in the mansion, including the "torture" of rooming with a messy Christine Quinn, the peaceful mystery of rooming with Tiffany "New York" Pollard, and why they think Johnny Middlebrooks was surprisingly "not good" at his attempt to be the house super-villain.

AI for podcasters is everywhere in 2026.But faster does not automatically mean better.In this episode of As It Relates to Podcasting, Simona breaks down the right way to use AI in your podcast workflow without sacrificing originality, emotional nuance, or trust with your audience.AI can help you move faster. It can help you outline episodes, generate show notes, draft captions, pull timestamps, and simplify editing. But when you let AI lead your thought leadership, storytelling, or point of view, your show becomes generic. And generic podcasts do not grow.This episode walks you through where AI fits into a modern podcast strategy, where it should never lead, and how to protect the one thing that makes your show scalable in 2026, your voice.If you are building a podcast this year and wondering how to balance efficiency with authenticity, this is your roadmap.Inside this episode:Why AI for podcasters should remove admin, not replace perspectiveThe difference between automated podcasting and human-led strategyWhy publishing raw AI output makes your show forgettableHow to run a “voice check” before releasing AI-assisted scriptsWhere AI works best, outlines, summaries, timestamps, first draftsWhy your final edits must always be human-ledHow to use AI for show notes without killing SEOTesting titles against real search behaviorWhy AI-generated clips often miss the emotional hookProtecting trust in the age of automationWhy your voice is the product and AI is the assistantResources:Podcast Success Vault Membership: https://www.voltproductions.co/podcast-success-vault-membership Learn about:00:00 AI can make you faster or forgettable01:00 The goal is not automated podcasting02:00 AI is a tool, not your voice03:00 Where AI helps with outlines and structure04:00 Why you should never publish raw AI output05:00 The voice check rule06:00 Keeping final edits human-led07:00 AI for show notes, summaries, and timestamps08:00 Why most AI content is not optimized for search09:00 Titles, testing, and discoverability

Most people make the mistake of using fluffy titles or wasting space with episode numbers that kill your click through rate. I see so many creators spend hours recording only to slap on a title that does not call anyone in or use SEO keywords correctly. There is a way to turn your show into a growth machine by treating it like the search engine it actually is. You do not have to guess what works when you understand how to use podcast SEO to signal the right information to the algorithm and find the right audience.  In this episode, I am breaking down my exact marketing strategy for writing titles that actually get clicked. You will learn how to balance algorithm optimization with human interest to make sure your show gets the attention it deserves. Optimizing your episode titles and show notes allows you to experience tangible podcast growth as your content becomes much easier to find within the podcast app resulting in more podcast downloads. When you implement the right strategies and podcast tips to improve your search ranking, your episodes move from being hidden to being discovered by the exact listeners who need your message. This shift is the same one I use to help my podcast marketing clients go from a few hundred downloads a month to thousands every single week. We are moving away from poetic labels and toward a content strategy that creates a bridge between you and your ideal listener.  Let's do this! - Juliana   Join Profitable Podcast Blueprint: https://juliana-barbati.thrivecart.com/profitable-podcast-blueprint/   Connect with me: Website: www.julianabarbati.com Instagram: @julianabarbati_

Early childhood education promotes leaders faster than almost any other industry — and school leaders are paying the price.In this episode, Chanie Wilschanski names a quiet but growing leadership crisis inside schools: teachers are promoted into leadership roles based on warmth, availability, and emotional labor — not relational stamina, discernment, or leadership infrastructure.You'll hear why early childhood lacks true leadership pipelines, how urgency and exhaustion drive premature promotions, and why titles alone don't build capacity. Chanie breaks down what other industries do differently — and what school leaders must begin building now if they want leadership that's steady, sustainable, and not built on survival.This conversation is for school owners and leaders who promoted someone hoping for relief — and instead found themselves carrying even more weight.What You'll Learn in This EpisodeWhy early childhood promotes leaders earlier than almost any other industryThe difference between emotional labor and leadership staminaWhy warmth and likability don't equal leadership readinessHow premature promotion creates top-heavy leadership and invisible pressureWhat discernment actually looks like in school leadershipWhy mentorship and rhythms matter more than titlesHow to stop passing emotional labor from one leader to the nextKey InsightsEmotional regulation is not leadership. Adults don't grow through comfort — they grow through stamina.Titles without capacity create collapse. Promoting without scaffolding only shifts the weight.Discernment is a leadership muscle. It must be built through rhythm, mentorship, and exposure.Infrastructure protects leaders. Systems, standards, and rhythms distribute pressure instead of concentrating it.Memorable Quotes“You cannot hug an adult into accountability.”“We reward warmth without cultivating relational stamina.”“Adults don't grow through discomfort — they grow through stamina.”“Titles change, but emotional labor doesn't.”Why This Matters for School LeadersPrevents burnout caused by premature promotionsCreates leadership clarity instead of survival-based decisionsProtects owners from becoming the emotional shock absorberBuilds leadership capacity that holds under pressure
