Staffing entrepreneur Bill Kasko joins me to unpack what it actually takes to survive—and adapt—through decades of economic shocks, technology shifts, and human volatility.Most business stories compress time and smooth the edges. This one doesn't. Bill and I walk through his 21-year journey building Frontline Source Group across recessions, oil crashes, collapsing hiring markets, pandemic shutdowns, and now AI-driven disruption. From the early days of gratitude-driven work to the bitterness of 2008, from physical offices and gas-price friction to video interviews and remote work, this episode traces how survival depends less on foresight—and more on the ability to pivot without losing your core.We talk about why “vision” is overrated without execution, how every crisis quietly trains you for the next one, and why technological change today moves in minutes—not years. Bill shares hard-earned lessons on empathy, honesty, and when to say no, even when it costs money. The thread running through it all: businesses don't fail because things change—they fail because leaders refuse to adapt fast enough.This isn't a growth story. It's a durability story.TL;DR* You only truly “start over” once—experience compounds even after failure* Gratitude fades; resilience must replace validation* Technology shifts now happen in minutes, not years* Vision is easy—execution from where you are is the real work* Low adaptability, not bad luck, kills businesses* Remote work, automation, and AI reward speed—not certainty* Empathy scales better than ego in volatile systemsMemorable Lines* “Vision is easy—getting from here to there is what nobody talks about.”* “Every crisis trains you for the next one, whether you want it to or not.”* “Technology didn't kill businesses—refusal to adapt did.”* “You don't start over empty-handed; you start over with scar tissue.”* “AI can answer questions—but it can't replace empathy.”GuestBill Kasko — Founder & CEO, Frontline Source Group Staffing and executive search entrepreneur with over two decades navigating recessions, workforce revolutions, and technological disruption.Why This MattersThe modern business environment doesn't offer long plateaus—it delivers repeated shocks. Recessions, pandemics, automation, and shifting labor power structures are no longer anomalies; they're the operating system.For founders, operators, and executives rebuilding after disruption, this episode reframes survival not as toughness—but as adaptability with integrity. The future doesn't belong to the most confident leaders. It belongs to those who can absorb impact, adjust quickly, and keep the human core intact while everything else changes.Reinvention isn't optional anymore. It's the job. This is a public episode.

Entrepreneur and sales strategist Doug Brown joins me to unpack what really happens when success collapses—and why the ability to rebuild matters more than avoiding failure.Most business conversations glamorize wins and sanitize losses. This episode does neither. Doug Brown and I walk through the uncomfortable reality of losing millions, starting over with almost nothing, and repeatedly reinventing yourself when the old path no longer works. From early failures in telecom and software to rebuilding after financial wipeouts, Doug shares what persistence actually looks like beyond motivational slogans.We explore why “safe careers” are an illusion, how low burn rates create optionality, and why scrimping alone won't build a meaningful life. This is a candid conversation about volatility, personal identity, money, family, regret, and why wisdom often comes from getting knocked down—then learning how to get up faster the next time.The lesson isn't masochism or chaos. It's designing a life and business resilient enough to absorb hits without losing yourself in the process.TL;DR* Reinvention isn't a phase—it's a permanent skill in modern life.* Failure isn't the problem; slow recovery time is.* Low burn rates create flexibility and asymmetric upside.* “Safe” careers can disappear faster than risky ones.* Wealth without alignment creates loneliness, not freedom.* Cash flow matters more than cash hoarding.* Regret comes more from inaction than from failed attempts.Memorable Lines* “It's not the setback—it's how fast you recover.”* “Live modestly so your life becomes a call option.”* “Money lets you arrive at your problems in style.”* “You only have to get it right once to set yourself free.”* “All the chips get pushed back to the middle eventually.”GuestDoug Brown — Entrepreneur, sales strategist, and founder of CEO Sales StrategiesFormer president of Tony Robbins' companies, advisor to global organizations, and veteran of 37 businesses across multiple industries.

TL's Road House is revving up for another episode! This week, Tracy sits down with one of his longtime bandmates Joe Caverlee for a laid-back, laughter-filled conversation shaped by 20+ years on the road together. From an early age, Joe picked up guitar and piano before discovering a violin tucked away in his grandma's attic. He quickly began his classical training at the age of 10 before sparking a passion for bluegrass at 13. His musical talent has carried him far since launching his career in the '90s and continues today as Tracy's bandleader, along with the soon to be release of his solo bluegrass album, This Side Of The Grass. In this episode, Tracy and Joe reflect on their musical influences, the early days of starting out in Nashville, their biggest career highlights and the many memories they've shared along the way.

Welcome back! In this ep, we're ditching the mid-winter blues and focusing on the absolute chaos and excitement of the 2026 F1 pre-season. We're talking livery drops, the new safety car era, and why Toyota is suddenly everywhere. Plus, Mark Dailey spills the tea on his furnace disaster (major ick) and why the HVAC trade is arguably the ultimate bag alert right now.

Null testing is one of the fastest ways to prove what actually changes in a mix. In this episode of Inside The Mix, Marc Matthews sits down with mastering engineer Eric Mitchell to explain what a null test is, how phase cancellation works, and how producers can use null testing to stop guessing and start making confident decisions.Built for beginner to intermediate music producers, this conversation answers common questions like: What is a null test in audio? Do similar plugins really sound different? Can meter settings or power conditioners affect digital audio? Marc and Eric walk through real-world null test examples, flipping polarity, aligning samples precisely, and listening only to what doesn't cancel.Together, they put popular studio myths to the test. Do plugins built on the same code cancel perfectly? Can DAW meter scaling change your sound? Does file integrity survive cloud storage and drive transfers? Eric shares clear results and a calm framework for evaluating bold claims without getting lost in internet noise or expectation bias.Listeners also learn how to run a null test step by step: use identical source files, line them up sample-accurately, invert polarity, and expect differences more often than silence. The episode covers the limits too, why analogue passes won't fully null, and how to use measurements to support musical taste rather than replace it.If you're tired of second-guessing mix choices or buying duplicate tools, this episode shows how null testing can save time, money, and mental energy.TL;DR: Null testing uses phase cancellation to reveal real differences between audio files.

Known for carving his own path in country by blending rap, southern rock and outlaw grit, Colt joins Tracy to reflect on a life-altering chapter after suffering a near-fatal heart attack in 2024. He opens up about his road to recovery and the struggles that followed, along with the overwhelming generosity and support he received from family, friends and fellow artists that helped carry him through.

There's the version of yourself you've been told to be and then there's the one who shows up when the recording keeps going because the conversation is too good to stop. This week, Thea, Audrey, and Lana couldn't stop yapping, and what unfolds is a raw examination of the work that doesn't show up in your business plans: discernment, friendship dynamics, and the discipline of knowing which race you're actually running.This conversation is what happened when we realized we weren't done processing, and hit record again. Audrey shares her journey of being labeled "too much" and why she's finally done apologizing for taking up space. Lana dissects the difference between friends who project their bench onto your Olympic aspirations. And Thea reminds us that agility (not rigid planning!) is the only framework that serves the most demanding lives.What emerges a conversation about frameworks: how to schedule your life first, how to recognize when advice is actually projection, and why the most important work you'll do in 2026 will very likely be the discernment no one sees.LISTEN IN FOR...The "too much" narrative women inherit and why reclaiming it is an act of sovereignty.Audrey's "green broke" revelation: what happens when structure collapses and you have to rebuild from authenticity instead of achievement.The Olympic team metaphor: understanding friendship dynamics when some people want to jog around the track and others are training for gold.Why verbal processing is simply how some of us think.The projection problem: how to recognize when you're giving advice to yourself instead of trying on someone else's limitations.Agility as the antidote to rigid planning and why asking "what do I really want right now?" is the most strategic question you can ask in the new year.The work that moves the needle: discernment, rest, and friendship.Why scheduling your life first is the litmus test for whether you're creating the life of your dreams or just checking boxes.Eldest daughter energy, second child chaos, and birth order baggage we're all still unpacking.The courage to protect your time and energy without apology (because it's okay to let people find their own team).TL;DR (MINUTE BY MINUTE)00:00 The episode that wasn't supposed to happen: why conversation deserves more than a hard stop.02:30 The open seat invitation: this is a group chat, not a lecture series.03:50 "Green broke" and barely broke: Audrey's sweatshirt and the second child who learned to boss herself around.04:30 When structure collapses: the bro energy that got her far, and the authenticity that got her further.07:00 "You're too much": unpacking the narrative women are handed...

Sa video na 'to, tatalakayin natin ang controversial na nangyari sa Venezuela—mula sa maikling history ng relasyon nito sa United States, hanggang sa usapin ng oil, sanctions, drugs, at geopolitics. Bago natin panoorin ang AI-generated simulation video tungkol sa umano'y pag-capture kay Nicolas Maduro, magbibigay muna ako ng quick TL;DR kung paano nauwi sa ganitong sitwasyon ang Venezuela. Bakit ba naging interesado ang US? Oil lang ba talaga ang dahilan? O may mas malalim pang issue? Pagkatapos ng video, ibabahagi ko rin ang personal thoughts ko bilang isang Catholic Christian. Hindi lang ito tungkol sa international law, kundi kung morally defensible ba ang ginawa ng US gamit ang Just War doctrine (CCC 2309). Pag-uusapan natin: Ang role ng foreign oil companies sa Venezuela Bakit bumagsak ang oil production ng bansa US sanctions, drugs, at power projection China, Russia, Iran, at global politics At ang tanong: Pasok ba ito sa Just War doctrine? Hindi ito simpleng pro-US o anti-US take. Layunin ng video na mag-isip tayo nang mas malalim, lalo na bilang mga Kristiyano.

There's a particular exhaustion that comes from living half-invested in your own life, when you're saying yes to everyone else's timeline while your own dreams accumulate dust. This week, we're pulling up a chair to the table we've been setting for five years, laying out every strategic detail, hard-won insight, and unfiltered observation about what it actually takes to build a life that doesn't require you to choose between future goals and presence, checking boxes and your nervous system, momentum and moments.Thea, Meg, Audrey, and Lana convene to kick off 2026 with the kind of conversation that feels less like a podcast episode and more like the group chat you've been craving. No disclaimers. No hedging. No apologizing for wanting it all. Just four women who've spent half a decade living the methodology for sustainable achievement, discussing every single strategy, planning framework, and operational principle they've tested alongside 1,300+ women.Please note: this isn't a teaser for what's inside the membership. This is the full playbook with nearly 50 pages of distilled wisdom, and the core methodology that's transformed businesses, marriages, and the daily operations of women who refuse to settle for good enough. Because if five years has taught us anything, it's this: the answer isn't hustling harder or culling your dreams. You need better infrastructure, and you definitely need a village. We start again here.Listen In For…Why five years of experimentation has led to giving away the entire methodology for free and what that signals about the conversation we're ready to have in 2026.The antidote to "you can have everything, but not at the same time": compounding instead of choosing, cultivating practices instead of burning out.What actually changes when you stop treating your ambition like something to apologize for and start treating it like the data it is.Why isolation and withdrawal are the default response to exhaustion, and how intentional connection becomes the counterintuitive path forward.Why we're done with the shame narratives and ready for nuanced conversations that honor complexity when it comes to entrepreneurship, motherhood, family, and ambition.The art of finding your people, developing friendships that feel like infrastructure, and surrounding yourself with women who elevate rather than diminish.Why overcomplication is a defense mechanism and how embracing practices creates the ease that allows you to do more with less friction.The shift from performative planning to operational excellence.How to quit overthinking and start iterating: taking imperfect action to generate the information you need to refine your approach.What "nutrient-dense life" actually means: high quality, deeply satisfying, strategically designed to nourish.TL;DR (Minute by Minute)00:00 Five years of Cowgirls Over Coffee and 1,300+ women later, here's what we've learned.04:45 The full methodology drop: 40 pages of our methodology free.

Does the state of the world leave you tense, guilty, and exhausted, like the world is a mess both outside and in your own head? In this episode of Let's Talk About Mental Health, I'm talking about emotional overload, empathy burnout, and how constant anxiety and overwhelm about global chaos can quietly wreck your mental health. I'll share simple, realistic self care tips to protect your peace: how to stop doomscrolling, reduce news anxiety, set boundaries for mental health, and build a calmer mindset even when you're living with uncertainty. This episode is for you if you care deeply about what's happening, but you also need practical ways to reduce stress and anxiety and feel more grounded in everyday life.

COVID pulled supply chains out of the background and into daily life. What used to feel abstract suddenly determined whether shelves were stocked, prices stayed stable, or businesses survived at all. In this conversation, Kerim Kfuri breaks down how global supply chains actually work, why the old “lowest cost at all costs” logic is outdated, and how disruption has reshaped manufacturing, trade, and strategy worldwide.We explore the shift from just-in-time efficiency to just-in-case resilience, challenge the idea that globalization is primarily exploitation, and explain why visibility, redundancy, and optionality now matter more than unit price. We also dive into tariffs, debt, leverage, inflation, and the uncomfortable truth: every attempt to “fix” supply chains shows up in consumers' wallets.This isn't about ideology or slogans. It's about fundamentals—survivability, relevance, and designing systems that can absorb shocks without breaking.TL;DR* Supply chains aren't boring—they're the infrastructure of modern life.* Cost is no longer king; resilience, visibility, and flexibility are.* “Just in time” failed under real stress; “just in case” is the new survival model.* Globalization today is about capability, not exploitation.* Tariffs and inflation are hidden taxes consumers always end up paying.* Long-term business success depends on survivability, not quarterly optics.Memorable lines* “Supply chains used to be invisible—until they broke.”* “Cost is the last variable now, not the first.”* “Relevance is what makes supply chains sexy.”* “You don't notice the wiring in the wall until the power goes out.”GuestKerim Kfuri — President & CEO, Atlas NetworkGlobal supply chain strategist focused on resilience, efficiency, and disruption-ready systems.Why this mattersIf you want businesses—and economies—that last, stop optimizing for perfect conditions and start designing for disruption. Supply chains aren't about speed alone anymore. They're about survival.Call to ActionIf this conversation lit something up for you, don't just let it fade. Come join me inside the Second Life Leader community on Skool. That's where I share the frameworks, field reports, and real stories of reinvention that don't make it into the podcast.

Thành công này cũng cho thấy quyền lực cá nhân của ông Tô Lâm và những chiến lược tập trung quyền lực đằng sau, theo nhận định của giám đốc nghiên cứu Benoît de Tréglodé, Viện Nghiên cứu Chiến lược (IRSEM), Trường Quân sự Pháp, khi trả lời RFI Tiếng Việt ngày 04/07/2025 : “(…) Nếu một cuộc cải cách đầy tham vọng như vậy được thực hiện bởi một người duy nhất thì đó là do ông ấy không cảm thấy bị bất kỳ ai đe dọa và điều này nằm trong quyền lực to lớn của ông trong bộ máy chính trị Việt Nam. Vào đúng năm trước Đại hội Đảng, với cuộc tinh giản bộ máy hành chính ở cấp địa phương, nhưng cũng có thể nói là ở cấp trung ương, ở cấp bộ, không ai chắc chắn là giữ được vị trí của mình, kể cả trong Ban Chấp hành Trung ương. Số người may mắn được chọn sẽ ít hơn vào năm 2026. Có thể nói chiến dịch kiểm soát khổng lồ này thậm chí còn hiệu quả hơn các chiến dịch chống tham nhũng thông thường. Bởi vì chúng khiến mọi người run sợ, ai cũng muốn giữ lấy chỗ và có thể theo đuổi sự nghiệp trong một bộ máy hành chính bị thu hẹp lại”.

Tổng bí thư không chỉ còn muốn đứng đầu đảng, giữ vai trò về tư tưởng, mà là một nhà lãnh đạo cao nhất. Và ông Tô Lâm đang làm cho các đối tác phương Tây quen dần với hình ảnh này, theo nhận định của tiến sĩ Vũ Khang, Đại học Boston, Mỹ : “Việt Nam đã đặt các đối tác phương Tây vào vị trí phải công nhận tính chính danh và sự ngang hàng của vị trí tổng bí thư với các vị trí nguyên thủ quốc gia qua các cuộc gặp cấp cao. Đây cũng là một di sản của cố tổng bí thư Nguyễn Phú Trọng khi ông đã thành công bắt Mỹ phải công nhận tổng bí thư là ngang hàng với chức tổng thống Mỹ. Điều này chứng tỏ đây là một chính sách đường dài chứ không phải ngắn hạn cho kỳ Đại hội Đảng sắp tới, và dù ai ở vị trí tổng bí thư đi chăng nữa thì cũng sẽ được kế thừa di sản này”. Đọc thêmNâng cấp đối tác chiến lược toàn diện với Pháp, chủ tịch Tô Lâm muốn thể hiện năng lực ngoại giao, ổn định chính trị Việt Nam Mối quan hệ đặc biệt với Pháp được thể hiện qua chuyến công du Hà Nội của tổng thống Emmanuel Macron. Với 14 thỏa thuận trị giá 9 tỷ euro, Pháp muốn hiện diện mạnh mẽ tại Việt Nam, kể cả trong lĩnh vực quốc phòng. Giáo sư Pierre Journoud, Đại học Paul Valery - Montpellier 3, đánh giá : “Có thể nói ngắn gọn rằng bối cảnh hiện nay thuận lợi cho việc Việt Nam và Pháp xích lại gần hơn trong lĩnh vực quốc phòng. Pháp là nước xuất khẩu vũ khí lớn thứ hai thế giới vào năm 2024, cho nên có một số tham vọng chính đáng ở khu vực Đông Nam Á. Còn Việt Nam đã tổ chức triển lãm quốc phòng quốc tế lần thứ hai tại Hà Nội vào tháng 12/2024. Việt Nam bắt đầu đa dạng hóa việc mua vũ khí và trang thiết bị quân sự để bù đắp cho những thiếu hụt thực sự, hoặc được cho là như vậy, của nhà cung cấp Nga, vốn chiếm ưu thế ở Việt Nam”. Kim ngạch thương mại lập kỷ lục, bất chấp thuế đối ứng của Mỹ Năm 2025, tổng kim ngạch thương mại của Việt Nam lập kỷ lục, đạt 920 tỷ đô la, tăng 16,9% so với năm 2024, theo Tổng Cục Hải quan. Trung Quốc tiếp tục là thị trường cung cấp hàng hóa lớn nhất cho Việt Nam, đạt kim ngạch 183 tỷ đô la. Mỹ tiếp tục là thị trường xuất khẩu lớn nhất của Việt Nam, đạt mốc kỷ lục gần 152 tỷ đô la, bất chấp các biện pháp thuế đối ứng (20%) của tổng thống Donald Trump. Tuy vậy, trả lời RFI Tiếng Việt, chuyên gia kinh tế Lê Đăng Doanh cho rằng mức thuế 20% vẫn bất lợi cho các doanh nghiệp Việt Nam, so với một số nước khác được mức thuế 19% hoặc 15% : “Theo tôi, những mặt hàng bị tác động bao gồm may mặc, da giày, kể cả một số mặt hàng đồ gỗ. Nếu như tình hình tiếp tục như thế này, các nhà xuất khẩu Việt Nam sẽ phải tìm cách đa dạng hóa các thị trường và tìm các biện pháp để có thể tiếp tục duy trì sản xuất và xuất khẩu và tìm cách né tránh thuế 20% này. Hiện nay Việt Nam đang cố gắng tìm cách mở rộng thị trường ở Trung Đông và tìm kiếm những thị trường ở châu Phi, đồng thời muốn phát triển những thị trường khác tuy nhỏ nhưng hy vọng là sẽ vẫn có thể đón nhận được hàng hóa của Việt Nam một cách thuận lợi”.  Đọc thêmViệt Nam: Thuế "trung chuyển" của Mỹ gây khó khăn cho doanh nghiệp đầu tư nước ngoài Thặng dự thương mại (đạt 21,2 tỷ đô la) chủ yếu đến từ khối đầu tư trực tiếp nước ngoài (FDI) với 48,2 tỷ đô la bởi vì các doanh nghiệp trong nước thâm hụt thương mại hơn 27 tỷ đô la. Mức thuế 20% có thể khả thi cho hoạt động xuất khẩu của các nhà đầu tư nước ngoài. Tuy nhiên, thuế “trung chuyển” (transshipment) lên tới 40% mới là vấn đề khó khăn. Ông Jean-Jacques Bouflet, phó chủ tịch Phòng Thương mại châu Âu tại Việt Nam - EuroCham, giải thích với RFI Tiếng Việt ngày 08/08 : “Theo thuật ngữ hải quan Hoa Kỳ, “trung chuyển” không chỉ đơn giản là dỡ hàng từ một phương tiện vận chuyển hay từ một hình thức vận chuyển này sang một phương tiện hoặc hình thức vận chuyển khác, mà chủ yếu là sự thay đổi nguồn gốc ở nước cuối cùng. Nói cách khác, nếu quyết định đánh thuế hàng “trung chuyển” được sử dụng để áp đặt một hàm lượng nội địa tối thiểu đáng kể, thì có nghĩa là để ngăn chặn nhập khẩu nguyên liệu từ các nước thứ ba, ý tôi muốn nói ở đây là Trung Quốc chẳng hạn. Đây có lẽ sẽ là một vấn đề lớn đối với phần lớn lĩnh vực sản xuất của Việt Nam (…) bởi vì hiện tại, Việt Nam không thể bảo đảm sản xuất được 100% hoặc 80% sản lượng nội địa, có thể là trừ sản xuất nông nghiệp”. Mục tiêu tăng trưởng 10% năm 2026 khó đạt được vì khó khăn toàn cầu Với tổng kim ngạch thương mại năm 2025 đạt 920 tỷ đô la, Việt Nam gia nhập nhóm 25 nền kinh tế thương mại lớn nhất thế giới. Sau mức tăng tổng sản phẩm quốc nội (GDP) khoảng 8%, chính phủ đề ra mục tiêu tăng trưởng 10% cho năm 2026. Ông Hubert Testard, chuyên gia về châu Á, tổng biên tập báo mạng Asialyst, cho rằng “mục tiêu này lại quá lạc quan, rất tham vọng” : “Trước tiên là mức thuế quan trung bình 20% của Mỹ mà ai cũng biết, nhưng cũng phải kể đến nhiều mức thuế đặc biệt khác đối với ô tô, thép, nhôm. Gần đây, còn có một vấn đề khác đối với các nhà xuất khẩu thủy sản Việt Nam, với thông báo ngừng xuất khẩu một số mặt hàng vào năm 2026. Ngoài ra, bối cảnh chung ở một số nước khác cũng không đặc biệt hơn. Nghĩa là nhu cầu của Trung Quốc không mạnh lắm, châu Âu thì đang cố gắng hạn chế dòng hàng nhập khẩu từ châu Á, đặc biệt là từ Trung Quốc. Vì vậy, bối cảnh quốc tế sẽ kém thuận lợi hơn. Tất cả các tổ chức quốc tế đều dự đoán năm 2026 sẽ có mức tăng trưởng kém hơn một chút so với năm 2025”. Đọc thêm2026 : Bối cảnh quốc tế không thuận lợi cho mục tiêu tăng trưởng 10% của Việt Nam Mục tiêu tăng trưởng cũng có thể bị tác động vì thiệt hại do thiên tai, ô nhiễm môi trường. Theo Cục Quản lý đê điều và Phòng, chống thiên tai, năm 2025 đã đi vào lịch sử thiên tai Việt Nam với những kỷ lục chưa từng có ; thiệt hại kinh tế lên tới hơn 100.000 tỷ đồng (gần 4 tỷ đô la) - lớn nhất từ trước tới nay. Theo Kế hoạch Ứng phó thiên tai chung năm 2025, được Liên Hiệp Quốc xây dựng trên cơ sở hợp tác giữa chính phủ Việt Nam và các đối tác trong nước, quốc tế, khoảng 96,2 triệu đô la được huy động để đáp ứng nhu cầu nhân đạo, hỗ trợ cho người dân bị ảnh hưởng, đồng thời xây dựng lộ trình hướng tới khả năng phục hồi và thích ứng với  biến đổi khí hậu trong dài hạn. Giải quyết ô nhiễm môi trường : Vấn đề cấp bách Một vấn đề khác là tình trạng ô nhiễm không khí ở Việt Nam, khiến khoảng 70.000 người chết. Để giảm bớt “thành tích” nhiều lần đứng đầu danh sách “đô thị ô nhiễm nhất thế giới”, thành phố Hà Nội triển khai lộ trình cấm xe chạy xăng dầu, bắt đầu trong vành đai 1 (trung tâm) Hà Nội, kể từ ngày 01/07/2026. Song song với biện pháp triệt để này, nhà quy hoạch đô thị Basile Hassan, trưởng dự án Moov'Hanoi, Cơ quan hỗ trợ Hợp tác quốc tế Vùng Paris tại Việt Nam - PRX-Vietnam, cho rằng cần phát triển, nâng cấp hệ thống giao thông công cộng để người dân có nhiều lựa chọn : “Mạng lưới giao thông công cộng hiện tại không đáp ứng được nhu cầu của người dân. Hà Nội có tàu điện nhưng lại không đủ, thậm chí còn không đi đến trung tâm thành phố. Trong bối cảnh người dân chủ yếu sử dụng xe máy, rất cạnh tranh về mặt thời gian, đi từ điểm A đến điểm B mà không phải thay đổi phương tiện, cho nên giao thông công cộng có vẻ kém cạnh tranh hơn vì mất thời gian hơn so với xe máy, phải nối chuyến, phải đi đến các bến. Vì vậy về mặt thời gian và hiệu quả, phương tiện công cộng kém hấp dẫn hơn xe máy, được ưa chuộng ở Hà Nội”. Đọc thêm“Xanh hóa” giao thông Hà Nội: Cần bỏ ôtô cá nhân thể hiện “thành đạt” và kết nối hệ thống công cộng Việt Nam đón gần 22 triệu lượt du khách nước ngoài Cho dù trải qua một năm thiên tai, nhiều di tích, công trình bị ngập trong mưa lũ, Việt Nam ghi nhận số lượng du khách nước ngoài kỷ lục, gần 22 triệu lượt. Mục tiêu đặt ra cho năm 2026 là thu hút 25 triệu du khách quốc tế. Ngoài việc chú trọng vào dịch vụ chăm sóc khách hàng, chi phí không quá đắt, thì kéo dài thời gian miễn thị thực đối với nhiều nước được cho là một yếu tố quan trọng, theo giải thích với RFI Tiếng Việt của ông Nguyễn Xuân Hải, giám đốc của La Palanche Voyages : “Bây giờ khi được 45 ngày, có thể người ta đến Việt Nam chỉ 15 ngày thôi, nhưng người ta có thể tiến, lùi ngày để có được vé máy bay tốt hơn, phù hợp với khả năng chi trả của người ta hơn. Miễn visa 45 ngày là cả một bước đột phá lớn (...) Nay có đến 45 ngày miễn visa, giống như là chúng ta đang “thừa giấy vẽ voi”. Chúng tôi sẽ có thể vẽ ra những con voi rất sinh động, đưa được khách đến những vùng xa hơn, sâu hơn, đến những nơi mà theo chúng tôi còn nguyên bản hơn”.

Why do your resolutions often fail? If your new year goals tend to start strong and then quietly fall apart, then it's time to approach goal setting differently. In this episode of the Let's Talk About Mental Health podcast I'm talking about why new year's resolutions don't work when you're overwhelmed, and how to set goals in a way that actually supports your mental health. I'll walk you through new year planning and goal planning that respects your energy, plus simple new year ideas that focus on self development instead of self-attack. You'll learn how to set goals that are kinder and more realistic, and we'll explore what's involved in setting smarter goals that reduce pressure and help build self trust, while focusing on what matters so you can create positive change. This one's for you if you're looking for goal setting motivation that works so you can stop repeating old patterns. 

For decades, leadership meant position: titles, layers, authority flowing downward. That model survived generations of management theory—but AI is dismantling it faster than most organizations realize. As automation absorbs middle management functions and teams flatten, leadership no longer comes from the org chart. It emerges from trust, psychological safety, and the ability to guide without control.Cedric and I explore how leadership is shifting from ladder to lattice, why younger generations demand clarity without micromanagement, and how learning, unlearning, and relearning have become survival skills—not growth perks. We dig into why performance without empathy burns people out, why transparency matters more than trust alone, and how leaders who can regulate themselves create teams that move faster, experiment more, and fail forward without fear.The takeaway isn't that leadership disappears—it evolves. From command-and-control to influence-without-authority. From perfection to iteration. From managing people to creating environments where people lead themselves.No nostalgia. No AI panic. Just a grounded roadmap for leaders navigating the post-AI reality.TL;DR* Hierarchy is eroding: AI collapses management layers—leadership becomes informal and horizontal.* Position ≠ influence: Future leaders are followed by choice, not title.* Ladder → lattice: Careers move sideways before up; growth isn't linear anymore.* Empathy scales performance: Psychological safety drives speed, creativity, and retention.* Learn–unlearn–relearn: AI shortens the cycle; leaders must evolve faster than systems.* Clarity creates confidence: Context + expectations beat control every time.* Transparency > trust: Explaining the why builds deeper alignment than directives.* Failure is data: Teams grow when mistakes don't equal punishment.Memorable lines* “Leadership doesn't disappear when hierarchy fades—it becomes visible.”* “AI removes managers, not the need for leadership.”* “Clarity builds confidence; confusion builds fear.”* “Trust tells people what—transparency tells them why.”* “You can't automate empathy—but you can scale it through culture.”GuestCedric B.

Josh welcomes back Daniel Thompson explore the rather silly question of whether Santa Claus needs to be compliant with the Cyber Resilience Act (CRA). This episode was intended to be silly, but it ended up being an incredibly interesting conversation. Daniel explained a great deal about how the CRA works and how it could apply to Santa Claus. The TL;DR is even if he's giving out free stuff, the CRA almost certainly applies. Daniel also fills us in on his book (you can email Josh to enter into a drawing for a copy), and his work on web browsers for the CRA. It's an incredibly informative discussion.

After an 18-year rise through corporate HR—from recruiter to group president across Canada and the U.S.—Dom walked away from a “safe” executive career to build something on his own terms. In this conversation, we unpack why large organizations quietly trade momentum for bureaucracy, how technology and automation empower lean founders, and why “stability” often comes at the cost of creativity, speed, and meaning.We explore intrapreneurship vs. entrepreneurship, the hidden traps of bloated systems, and how founders can use data, automation, and open APIs to move faster without burning capital. The throughline isn't rebellion—it's agency. Building work that's fun, aligned, and alive again.No anti-corporate rant. Just lived experience, hard trade-offs, and a clear-eyed look at what it really takes to step off the stable path—and thrive.TL;DR* Stability is conditional: Corporate safety disappears the moment priorities shift.* Intrapreneur vs. founder: Big-company success doesn't equal personal leverage.* Tech as leverage: Automation and BI (not hype AI) unlock speed for lean teams.* Systems can trap you: CRMs and ERPs either enable growth—or become prisons.* Innovation dies slowly: Bureaucracy rewards optics over outcomes.* Work-life blend > balance: Fun, purpose-driven work creates sustainability.* Momentum matters: Small teams with clarity outperform slow giants.Memorable lines* “Stability often costs more than risk—you just don't see the bill right away.”* “Big systems don't fail fast. They fail quietly.”* “AI isn't magic—it's leverage if you know what problem you're solving.”* “Careers don't collapse overnight; they stall one approval layer at a time.”* “Fun isn't a perk—it's fuel.”GuestDominic Levesque — HR executive turned founder; CEO of NextWave; author and advisor on leadership, technology, and organizational transformation.

TL;DRAI literacy is becoming a baseline skill. This episode explores how organizations and individuals are actually building AI capability at work, with a focus on:* Self-directed learning and AI education at scale* Personalized learning journeys versus one-size-fits-all training* The shift from basic AI use to agentic workflows* The role of human strengths—creativity, judgment, and adaptability—in an AI-driven workplaceIn this episode, I'm joined by Erica Salm Rench, an AI educator and leader at Sidecar AI.Sidecar is an AI education platform and learning management system (LMS) designed to help organizations educate their employees on AI through self-directed learning. It combines structured courses, role-based learning paths, and hands-on use cases so individuals can build AI capability at their own pace while organizations raise overall AI fluency.Our conversation explores what AI education actually looks like beyond hype—how people are learning it, how organizations are rolling it out, and why understanding AI is quickly becoming a career differentiator rather than a technical specialty.AI Education Has Shifted from “What Is It?” to “How Do I Use It?”Erica explains that the conversation around AI in associations has changed dramatically over the last several years. Early on, organizations were hesitant to even talk about AI. Today, the question is no longer what is AI? but how can we use it to advance our mission, improve operations, and better serve our members?That shift brings a new challenge: helping people move from curiosity to competence in a way that feels approachable rather than overwhelming.Meeting People Where They AreOne of the strongest themes in our discussion is the importance of meeting learners at their current level of comfort and knowledge. AI education isn't one-size-fits-all.This means combining:* Foundational AI concepts* Role-specific applications (marketing, events, operations)* A growing library of real-world use cases* Ongoing updates as tools evolveThe goal isn't to turn everyone into a AI engineer—it's to help people understand what's possible and apply AI meaningfully in their day-to-day work.From Prompting to Agentic WorkWe spend time talking about the evolution from simple AI use cases—like writing emails or summarizing content—to agentic AI, where systems take action on a user's behalf.This shift matters because it fundamentally changes how work gets done. Instead of just assisting with tasks, AI begins to:* Automate multi-step workflows* Scale work that previously required human labor* Act as a force multiplier rather than a one-off toolWe agree that while much of this is still clunky today, the direction is clear: agents are becoming a core part of how work will be organized.Personalized Learning Is the Future of EducationA major insight from the episode is that personalized learning journeys will define the next phase of education—especially in fast-moving domains like AI.Erica describes how Sidecar uses AI within its learning environment to:* Act as a learning assistant* Answer questions in real time* Reinforce concepts* Help learners connect theory to applicationThis mirrors a broader trend: education becoming less about static courses and more about continuous, adaptive support.The Psychology of Learning AI at WorkWe talk openly about fear—fear of job loss, fear of falling behind, fear of not being “technical enough.” Erica makes the case that leaders have a responsibility to educate their teams, not just for organizational performance, but for people's long-term career resilience.From a psychological perspective, AI education:* Reduces anxiety by replacing uncertainty with understanding* Increases confidence and autonomy* Helps people see AI as a collaborator, not a threatSpending even 20–30 minutes a day learning AI can quickly change how people see their own future at work.Human Strengths Still Matter More Than EverOne of my favorite parts of the conversation is where we zoom out to the human side of all this. As AI removes technical barriers, the differentiator becomes human qualities—creativity, resilience, judgment, adaptability, and the ability to ask good questions.AI doesn't replace these traits. It amplifies them.Used well, AI allows people to overcome past limitations, work around weaknesses, and bring their ideas to life faster than ever before.What Listeners Should Take AwayAI literacy is becoming a baseline skill. The people who thrive won't be the most technical, but the most curious, adaptable, and intentional about learning how to work alongside intelligent systems.Education—done thoughtfully and continuously—is the bridge between fear and opportunity.Where to Find EricaErica is highly active on LinkedIn and can be found through Sidecar AI, where she and her team are building education-first pathways into AI for associations, nonprofits, and mission-driven organizations.

Most of us chase home on the outside — new careers, new cities, new missions — assuming the right setting will unlock the right identity. But for Socratese, home wasn't Boston, the Army, or the next achievement. It was the inner place he had been trained to outrun.In this episode, we unpack why so many high-performers hit professional milestones but feel spiritually homeless, how “hero's journey” conditioning pushes leaders away from their real identity, and how cannabis (used intentionally, not performatively) became the unexpected doorway to presence, empathy, and actual healing.We trace the emotional reality of reintegration after elite institutions (military, corporate, startup), how performance culture replaces personhood, and why coming home is always an inward path — never a geographic one.This conversation winds through 80s action movies, the “meeting crisis,” late-stage capitalism narratives, business ethics, the collapse of real community, and the quiet courage required to stop living other people's scripts.No mysticism. No clichés. Just a brutally honest exploration of what it actually takes to return to yourself.TL;DR* Home isn't a location—it's your inner alignment. Many leaders hit external success while feeling internally displaced.* Cannabis as a tool, not an identity. For Socratese, it created non-judgmental presence—the state needed for real healing.* Performance culture steals personhood. Whether military or corporate, the identity costumes eventually crack.* Disruption isn't tech—it's restoring human reciprocity. Real business is two people making each other better.* The journey inward is the only real journey. Every choice either takes you closer to your true self or further away.Memorable Lines* “I came home from the Army, but I didn't feel at home. Because the home I needed wasn't a place—it was my heart.”* “Cannabis didn't heal me. It put me in a state where healing was finally possible.”* “We spend years becoming the person others expect, and then wonder why we feel like strangers in our own lives.”* “Business should be: I win, you win. Somewhere along the line, we lost the human part.”* “You don't find home. You return to it.”GuestSocratese Rosenfeld — Army veteran, tech founder, CEO of Jane, and one of the most thoughtful voices on identity, healing, and conscious leadership.LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/socratesrosenfeld/Website: https://www.iheartjane.com/Why This MattersIf you're a founder, veteran, executive, or anyone who has lived inside a high-performance machine, you know the cost: identity confusion, emotional detachment, and a quiet sense of exile from yourself.Coming back home is the real work.Not a tactic. Not a hack.A reckoning.The leaders of tomorrow aren't the loudest.They're the ones who know where “home” is — and how to lead from that grounded center.Call to ActionIf this conversation lit something up for you, don't just let it fade.

Everyone loves Cyber Week numbers. Big charts. Big screenshots. Big claims.But Cyber Week data lies….When demand is compressed into five days, behavior gets distorted. And if you build your next 90-day strategy on distorted data, you scale the wrong lesson.In this Week in Review, Neil breaks down what the post–Cyber Week data actually reveals, why traffic and revenue spikes mislead sellers every December, and how real operators read the scoreboard differently heading into January and 2026.

Rita Malvone did — but only after it nearly burned her out as a leader, a human, and as someone trying to make sense of a career that never quite felt like hers.In this episode, Rita and I unpack the quiet misery of high-performing corporate people: the ones who smile on Zoom, hit the metrics, answer Slacks at 11 p.m.… and privately wonder why they feel so damn empty.Rita's story starts in China, leading a young team while simultaneously building an entire Asia-Pacific presence from scratch. On paper? Impressive.In reality? A slow emotional suffocation disguised as “success.”She talks openly about being a bad leader — not out of incompetence, but because she was deeply unhappy. The FaceTime culture, the politicking, the performative grind, the “be grateful you even have this job” mindset… all of it slowly turned her into someone she didn't like.When the company finally told her she was 47th in line for a promotion, she snapped the trap in half.Leaving wasn't graceful. It wasn't strategic.It was survival.And looking back, Rita realized something hard but beautiful:You can't become the leader you want to be inside a system that requires you to betray yourself.We dig into the aftermath of walking away, the shock of rediscovering joy, the messy years of rebuilding, and how real leadership is less “motivational poster” and more “doing the hard, human, unglamorous work.”We talk about why suffering gives leaders their edge, why authenticity can't be faked, and why corporate life fails people who don't fit the mold — no matter how capable they are.This isn't a rage story.It's a liberation story.No villains. No corporate-hate screeds. Just an honest look at the moment you realize your career is using you more than you're using it — and what happens when you finally walk out.TL;DR* The trap: A prestigious career that looks like success and feels like misery.* The break point: Being told she was “#47 in line for a promotion.”* The turn: Leaving corporate, owning how unhappy she truly was, and rebuilding a life that isn't powered by performance, FaceTime, or pretending.* The lesson: You can't lead well while losing yourself.Memorable Lines* “I wasn't a bad leader. I was an unhappy human pretending to be a leader.”* “We were building the seats as we were sitting in them.”* “You can't sugarcoat how miserable you are and still expect to lead well.”* “Once I stepped out, I finally saw the cage I had been sitting in.”GuestRita Malvone — Leadership coach, former corporate executive in China, and someone who rebuilt her life after discovering her ‘career' was a beautifully decorated cage.

Welcome back on board TL's Road House! Tracy Lawrence sits down with country singer-songwriter Lanie Gardner to talk musical inspirations, family influence, stage nerves and more. A North Carolina native with traditional roots, Lanie first blew fans away in 2020 when her YouTube cover of “Dreams” by Fleetwood Mac went viral. Before that, she was learning guitar and singing alongside her dad from an early age. Her career has quickly taken off with a record deal right out of college, opening for major acts like the Jonas Brothers, Jelly Roll and Cody Johnson, and she most recently released her sophomore album, Faded Polaroids. Tracy and Lanie get real about life lessons they have learned, while also bonding over their go-to Broadway bars, and the memories made along the way. Tune in for a fun and heartfelt conversation with one of country music's fastest-rising stars!
