Episode #1109 A common struggle for married businessmen is the feeling of walking on eggshells. You want to lead your family, but instead, you find yourself reacting to your wife's moods or constantly explaining your actions in hopes of avoiding conflict. This cycle creates a household where passion is replaced by the sterile relationship of roommates, and emotional safety the foundation of any thriving marriage is lost. In this episode, Doug Holt is joined by TPM advisor Chris to break down the "Triad of Connection," a fundamental methodology for moving a marriage out of neutral and back into a state of desire and respect . They explore why a woman needs to feel seen and heard before she can truly feel safe, and how most men accidentally sabotage this by falling into the "DEER" trap: Defending, Excusing, Explaining, and Reacting . Beyond the home, the conversation shifts to the weight of leadership. When you start showing up as a grounded man, others friends, family, and colleagues will naturally begin to look to you for guidance . Doug explains how to set firm boundaries to avoid burnout and why "pouring from a full cup" is not just a cliché, but a requirement for any man who wants to be a hero to his family without resenting them in the process . Listeners will also get practical advice on crowdsourcing new date night inspirations and the importance of taking leadership in planning adventures that actually interest them, rather than just guessing what their wife wants. If you are ready to stop walking on eggshells and want to see the specific methodology for fixing what is broken in your relationship, I have a free training that shows you exactly how the scales in your marriage tipped and how to bring them back in your favor.

Episode #1107 Many men believe that personal growth is a destination they can eventually reach and finish . In reality, the journey of self-discovery is like peeling back layers of an onion; there is always a deeper level of authenticity and power waiting to be uncovered . In this revisit episode, Doug Holt is joined by two world-class TPM coaches, Neil and Mike, who recently stepped away from their leadership roles to experience the Alpha Reset as full participants . They share the raw, behind-the-scenes reality of what it takes for even a seasoned coach to drop his mask and trust the process . The conversation explores the profound impact that a man's internal shift has on his family . Mike recounts the moment he FaceTimed his wife after the three-day experience, only for her to tell him he looked like a different man—handsome, present, and alive . You will learn why feminine energy responds so powerfully to a grounded masculine presence and how emotional safety creates a container for a marriage to flourish . The coaches also discuss the "common denominator" realization: that if every relationship or town you've been in feels the same, the one constant factor is you . Whether you are a business owner struggling with the "lone wolf" mentality or a father realizing you have overcompensated for your own past, this episode provides a roadmap for transformation . By witnessing leaders who are willing to "eat their own cooking" and face their own resistance, you will see that courage is not the absence of fear, but the willingness to move forward despite it . It is an invitation to stop settling for a transactional life and start building an embodied, powerful legacy . If you are ready to stop guessing and start leading your family with clarity, take the next step by accessing our free training . This is designed for the man who is tired of the distance and ready to see exactly where his relationship stands . Visit https://fixmarriage.thepowerfulman.com/scales to get started.

In this episode of Reboot IT, host Dave Coriale, President of DelCor, sits down with Andrew Leggett, Director of Cybersecurity at DelCor, and Chris Ecker, Chief Technology Officer at DelCor, to unpack two critical cybersecurity topics every association and nonprofit should be thinking about right now: phishing‑resistant MFA and preparing your Microsoft 365 environment for Copilot. They discuss why passkeys truly improve the user experience, how oversharing in Microsoft 365 creates risk, and what steps organizations must take before deploying AI tools. This conversation is packed with practical guidance leaders can act on immediately.Themes and Topics:Why It's Time to Level Up Your MFATraditional MFA isn't enough anymore with modern phishing attacks. FIDO2 passkeys make logging in easier for your staff, not harder.Passkeys Are Way Simpler Than Passwords (Really!)A short PIN or FaceID is more secure than a long, complex password.Your device's TPM chip keeps those credentials locked down safely.How Modern Phishing Tricks Users, and What Stops ItAttackers now steal MFA approvals and ride along on active sessions. Phishing-resistant MFA shuts the door on those token-harvesting scams.Before You Turn on Copilot, Fix How Your Association Shares FilesYears of sharing files without guidelines or guardrails can create hidden risks.Copilot can surface any file users have access to, even old oversharing.Why 365 Sharing Settings Matter More Than EverUsers must run their own OneDrive reports (admins can't see it all).SharePoint tools help find where HR, finance, or executive docs may be exposed.Leadership Buy‑In Makes or Breaks These UpgradesChange management matters, especially if the C‑suite wants exceptions. Passkeys also offer a chance to simplify tools and retire extras like Duo.

Episode #1104 Many men mistake confrontation for leadership, believing that "putting their foot down" is the same as setting a boundary. In reality, a boundary is never about controlling someone else's behavior; it is a clear statement of what you are willing to accept in your own life . When you approach your wife with confrontational energy, it often leads to temporary compliance rather than genuine connection or respect . In this episode, Tim Matthews is joined by Lawrence and Paul to break down real-world challenges from the TPM community. They discuss why many men fumble when they first start speaking up for themselves and how to navigate the "messy" transition of reclaiming your authority as a husband and father . You will learn why curiosity is a more powerful tool than blame and how to ask for grace while you learn to lead your family effectively . The conversation also tackles the heavy burden of "abdicating" leadership in territories like finances . When a man defaults to "whatever works best," he often leaves his wife exhausted and carrying a load she was never meant to bear alone . The guys share how to shift from "having" to lead to "getting" to lead, transforming a source of shame into an opportunity for growth and partnership . Finally, we explore the vital practice of decompression—the daily habit of reflecting on your emotions so you don't push them down . Decompression isn't just a "fluffy" self-care routine; it is a necessary tool to stop depression in its tracks and ensure you show up as your best self for your family . Whether it is learning to hold space without trying to "fix" everything or becoming brutally honest with yourself, this episode provides the language and rhythms every businessman needs to move from average to extraordinary .

We have a new issues poll out this morning. It's from IPSOS. 1000 people. Was taken after Waitangi weekend. The numbers are bad for National, because they should be winning on more issues. But Luxon won't hate the numbers because they're going in the right direction of a few key issues. A significant increase on Cost of Living - after a period of trending in the wrong direction. Another 'significant' increase on healthcare/hospitals- closing the gap from 19 to 12 points since October. After being overtaken on the economy, they've come back to draw with the reds. Interestingly, concern from voters about poverty and inequality is trending down - despite the big push in the media last week. The reality is that Labour is still ahead on three of the five issues. But no election is won or lost on a single issue, is it? Although Covid in 2020 and cost of living in 2023 were dominant. What the election will come down to, as I've always said, and everyone already knows, is Winston Peters. He has told me that he will not form a government with Labour if 1. Hipkins is in charge. And 2. it needs propping up by the Greens or TPM. He says they're nuts. So, as long as the polls, stay roughly where they are, the National party strategists will stick largely to the same script and wait for Winston at the alter. Barring, of course, nay campaign snaffus that might get any of the above into trouble and offside with us, the voters.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Episode #1103 One of the most common traps married men fall into is treating their wife like the person they married ten years ago, rather than the person she has become today . It is human nature to stop being curious and start making assumptions, but these assumptions are often what build the "emotional walls" that leave a marriage feeling mundane or distant . In this revisit episode, Doug Holt is joined by Chris, a lead advisor at TPM, to answer listener questions about breaking through emotional distance and navigating complex attachment styles . They dive deep into the "damned if you do, damned if you don't" scenario: how to give a partner space when they simultaneously struggle with a fear of abandonment . Doug explains why men must move from a cautious energy to a leading energy, using proactive reassurance to "call out" the situation before it becomes a crisis . You will learn why over-communicating your commitment—stating your "mission" multiple times until it is truly heard—is the only way to fight a partner's misperceptions and rebuild safety . The conversation also provides practical tools for the man trying to restart conversations with an emotionally closed-off spouse . From using project management software to stay curious about your wife's interests to leveraging external "icebreaker" cards to create a safe environment for dialogue, Doug shares the exact strategies he uses in his own marriage . This episode is a masterclass in shifting from a state of "checking in" to a state of genuine connectivity . Whether you are looking for non-mundane conversation starters or need to understand how to lead through your partner's fears, this discussion offers a roadmap to move beyond an "average" relationship . By coming at life and your spouse from a place of curiosity, you allow the connection to unfold beautifully once again .

Episode #1095 In this episode, Doug sits down with Nino, a member of the TPM team, to have a real and honest conversation about identity, family, and personal growth especially from the lens of someone who didn't grow up around this kind of work. Nino shares his first experience attending an Alpha Reset and opens up about what it was like coming from a background where talking about emotions, growth, or family leadership wasn't the norm. They get into cultural expectations, generational patterns, and what it means to take ownership of your life as a man. This isn't just a story about transformation it's a call to rethink what leadership in your home and community really looks like. Whether you're from the inner city or a small town, Latino or Black or White, the reality is most men were never taught how to be grounded and powerful at the same time. You'll hear about the masks we wear, why they're so hard to take off, and how real change starts when you decide to stop performing and start leading. If you've ever felt like you're doing life on someone else's terms, this episode will hit home.

In this special TPM Tech Preview episode, Brian Glick sits down with Eric Johnson of the Journal of Commerce to go behind the scenes of TPM and TPM Tech. Eric explains how the conference has evolved from its transpacific shipping roots into a broader forum for containerized supply chains, global economics, geopolitics, and technology—and why an editorial-first approach remains central to its credibility.Together, they explore how TPM Tech sessions are designed, how topics and speakers are selected months in advance, and how the program avoids becoming sales-driven or trend-chasing. The conversation also dives into what Eric is most excited about for the upcoming event, from challenging long-held industry assumptions to framing more practical, grounded discussions around AI.Key topics discussed include: The evolution of TPM and the role of TPM Tech within the broader conference Why editorial independence matters in conference programming How panels are developed, prepped, and structured for real audience value Avoiding hype-driven content around AI, blockchain, and other “topic du jour” trends Challenging industry sacred cows like data silos and visibility models What attendees can expect from this year's TPM Tech and main-stage sessionsAbout the guestEric Johnson is Senior Editor of Technology at the Journal of Commerce, where he leads coverage and analysis of how technology is shaping global logistics and trade. He regularly reports on how shippers, carriers, and logistics providers use software across procurement, execution, visibility, and payment, and is a frequent moderator and presenter at major industry events.Eric also plays a key role in developing the TPM and TPM Tech conference programs, helping shape editorial-driven discussions that cut through hype and focus on practical, real-world technology challenges facing the supply chain industry.Connect with EricConnect with BrianFollow Chain.io on LinkedIn

Produktmanagement wird dauernd erwähnt, aber selten wirklich erklärt. Und genau da entsteht oft der Frust: Feature Requests prasseln rein, das Jira Backlog wächst wie Unkraut, Stakeholder eskalieren, und am Ende fragt sich jede:r im Team, wer hier eigentlich was entscheidet. Klingt bekannt? Dann ist diese Episode für dich.In dieser Episode schließen wir eine längst überfällige Lücke und steigen tief in das Thema Produktmanagement ein. Zu Gast ist Michael Gasch, Product Manager bei AWS im Serverless Umfeld. Mit ihm schauen wir uns an, was Produktmanagement wirklich ist, warum es nicht einfach Projektmanagement mit neuem Label ist und wie AWS Rollen wie PMT, SDM und TPM trennt, um Delivery, Priorisierung und Ownership sauber zu verzahnen.Wir sprechen über Working Backwards und PR/FAQ Dokumente, datengetriebene Priorisierung unter Dauerbeschuss, Paper Cuts vs. große Launches, Disagree and Commit, Bias for Action und wie Erfolg nach einem GA Launch über Metriken, Telemetrie und Kundenfeedback messbar wird. Als Praxisbeispiel nehmen wir ein echtes AWS Feature: Durable Functions in AWS Lambda, von der Idee im Kopf bis zur AWS re:Invent Bühne.Zum Schluss gibt es noch ein paar Tips:Wie kannst du proaktiver in Produktentscheidungen werden, bessere Inputs liefern und vielleicht sogar selbst Richtung Produktmanagement wechseln?Spoiler: Anforderungsanalyse, Ownership und ein bisschen STAR Methode können viel bewegen.Bonus: Wenn du dachtest, AI macht Produktmanager:innen überflüssig, warten hier ein paar ziemlich gute Gegenargumente auf dich.Unsere aktuellen Werbepartner findest du auf https://engineeringkiosk.dev/partnersDas schnelle Feedback zur Episode:

First Topic - Podcast Content Plans for 2026 Every year, I like to sit down and consider what the podcast should be focusing on. Not doing so ensures every single episode will be about AI and nobody wants that. Least of all, me. If I have one more all-AI episode, my head is going to explode. With that said, most of what we talk about in this segment is AI (picard face palm.png). I think 2026 will be THE defining year for GenAI. Three years after the release of ChatGPT, I think we've hit peak GenAI hype and folks are ready for it to put up or shut up. We'll see winners grow and get acquired and losers pivot to something else. More than anything, I want to interview folks who have actually seen it work at scale, rather than just in a cool demo in a vendor sandbox. Also on the agenda for this year: The battle against infostealers and session hijacking: we didn't have a good answer in 2025. When is it coming? Will it include Macs, despite them not having a traditional TPM? The state of trust in outsourcing and third party use (Cloud, MSSPs, SaaS, contractors): 2025 was not a good year for third parties. Lots of them got breached and caused their customers a lot of pain. Also, there's the state of balkanization between the US and... the rest of the entire world. Everyone outside the US seems to be trying to derisk their companies and systems from the Cloud Act right now. Vulnerability management market disruption: there are half a dozen startups already plotting to disrupt the market, likely to come out of stealth in 2026 Future of the SOC: if it's not AI, what is it? What else??? What am I missing? What would you like to see us discuss?

  Host: Annik Sobing Guest: Peter Tirschwell, Senior Director, S&P Global / TPM Conference Founder Length: ~25 minutes Presented by: Global Training Center In this Simply Trade Roundup, host Annik Sobing sits down with global shipping and trade journalism leader Peter Tirschwell, the driving force behind the TPM Conference, to explore how a niche maritime newspaper event evolved into one of the premier gatherings in global container shipping. Peter shares the origin story of TPM: how the Journal of Commerce reinvented itself around 2000 by turning its deep reporting network into a live, editorially independent forum timed to the annual trans‑Pacific contract season.​ They discuss how TPM, held each March in Long Beach in the heart of the LA–Long Beach port complex, became a place where BCOs, carriers, NVOs, ports, and tech providers can gauge supply–demand balance, negotiate with better intelligence, and refresh critical relationships. Peter explains how the attendee mix has shifted over 25+ years, with hundreds of major shippers now present and representation from about 50 countries, turning TPM from a trans‑Pacific event into a broadly global container‑trade platform.​ What You'll Learn in This Episode How the Journal of Commerce pivoted from a collapsing print model to launch TPM as a data‑driven, neutral conference for BCOs and carriers.​ Why TPM is held in early March in Long Beach and how that timing aligns with trans‑Pacific contract cycles and port/rail/warehouse visits.​ How TPM's strictly editorial program (no “pay‑to‑speak”) builds trust, attracts senior executives, and shapes real contract and routing decisions.​ How the attendee base has grown to include ~575 shipper companies and participants from around 50 countries, spanning Asia–Europe, North–South, and more.​ How 2025's tariff shock—from ~2% to ~17–18% average duties—has pushed shippers to use TPM for cost‑reduction ideas, legal tariff strategies, and sourcing shifts.​ How TPM Tech and AI discussions are tackling repetitive-process automation, carrier cost reduction, and competitive risk if rivals adopt AI faster.​ Practical ways to “do TPM right”: coming in with a plan, choosing sessions strategically, and using the event to build and refresh critical relationships.​ Key Takeaways TPM now functions as a market pulse + relationship engine: attendees leave with clearer views on capacity, pricing, risk, and who they can rely on when markets tighten.​ Shippers are under intense pressure from tariffs and volatility; events like TPM help them hunt for every legal saving—from transport choices to customs strategies.​ AI is moving “fast and hard” into container shipping; companies that ignore it risk being undercut on cost and losing business to more efficient competitors.​ To get real value from TPM, attendees should arrive with specific problems to solve, a prioritized session list, and pre‑planned meetings across their network.​ Credits Host/Producer: Annik Sobing Guest: Peter Tirschwell – S&P Global / TPM TPM CONFERENCE DETAILS Subscribe & Follow New Roundup episodes every week.

Episode #1072 In this powerful revisit episode, we sit down with Gary and Heather, a couple deeply rooted in the TPM community, to talk about something most men avoid: emotional honesty. We're digging into what it really takes to build deep intimacy and trust in a relationship, not through grand gestures but through the simple, consistent act of showing up honestly. Gary shares how owning his needs and communicating them without shame became a turning point in his relationship. Heather opens up about how emotional safety, something she didn't realize she even needed, has become the foundation of their connection. We also talk about what keeps most men stuck. The fear of rejection. The pressure to always be the rock. The habit of hiding behind surface-level communication. But when a man starts being radically honest with himself and his partner, things shift. Real intimacy becomes possible. If you've ever felt like you're doing everything right but still not getting the connection you want, this one's worth a listen. You'll walk away with real, actionable insight on how to start showing up differently without becoming someone you're not.
