From Success to Significance: Claus Geissendoerfer on Effective Giving and Purposeful LeadershipIn this episode of The Thoughtful Entrepreneur Podcast, host Josh Elledge speaks with Claus Geissendoerfer, the Director of Programme & Change Management at Amstadd, about the profound shift from professional achievement to personal significance. Claus, an ambassador for the effective altruism movement, shares how his background in high-level change management helped him navigate his own midlife transition toward a life rooted in impact and data-driven philanthropy. Their conversation serves as a masterclass for high-achieving entrepreneurs who find themselves questioning the deeper meaning of their success and are seeking a rigorous, evidence-based approach to contribution and global change.Navigating the Transition from Consumption to ContributionFor many successful business leaders, reaching the peak of professional achievement can unexpectedly lead to a sense of stagnation rather than satisfaction. Claus explains that the traditional "midlife crisis" is often a mislabeled search for meaning, where the antidote is not further consumption but a deliberate shift toward contribution. This evolution requires a willingness to experiment relentlessly with new roles—such as coaching, mentoring, or serving as a non-executive director—to discover where one's skills can solve the world's most pressing problems. By applying the same growth mindset that built their businesses to their personal evolution, leaders can transform restlessness into a renewed sense of mission that extends far beyond the boardroom.True fulfillment is found at the intersection of continuous personal growth and measurable service to others. Claus advocates for a life of "lifelong learning" as a defensive strategy against the decline that comes with professional plateauing. Whether it is mastering the complex physics of sailing to unplug from digital distractions or exploring new professional competencies, staying in a state of active growth keeps an entrepreneur vibrant and prepared for the next stage of their legacy. This proactive approach to self-development ensures that a leader's transition into significance is built on a foundation of refined wisdom and high-level capability rather than a reactive escape from their current reality.Effective philanthropy, much like successful business management, requires a commitment to data and rigorous analysis over mere sentiment. Claus highlights the effective altruism movement, specifically through organizations like Giving What We Can, which encourages individuals to pledge a portion of their income to evidence-based charities. By focusing on cost-effectiveness—such as distributing malaria nets where a few thousand dollars can statistically save a human life—donors can ensure their generosity achieves the highest possible return on impact. This approach allows entrepreneurs to treat their giving with the same strategic discipline as their investments, moving philanthropy from a random act of kindness to a powerful tool for global systemic change.About Claus GeissendoerferClaus Geissendoerfer is the Director: Programme & Change Management at Amstadd and a passionate advocate for effective altruism. With extensive experience in navigating complex organizational changes, he now leverages his expertise to help individuals and organizations transition from traditional success models to lives of purpose, significance, and high-impact giving.About AmstaddAmstadd is a consultancy focused on program and change management, helping organizations navigate complex transitions and operational shifts.

Tactical Transition Tips Round 111 of the Transition Drill Podcast offers practical guidance and career readiness for veterans and first responders, organized based on how far out your exit is. In this episode, how your attachment to where you live can shape, limit, or expand your civilian opportunities.Some of you are clinging to where you live like it's oxygen. Some of you are desperate to get out, like the place is on fire. Either way, it's easy to tell yourself your answer is “just practical.”But geography isn't neutral. Where you live quietly decides what jobs exist around you, what your income ceiling looks like, who you can realistically network with, what licensing or certification hurdles you'll face, and how much pressure lands on your spouse and kids if you change the plan. Labor markets aren't evenly distributed. Opportunities cluster. Some roles flat out don't exist everywhere. And even when the job exists, the pay might not match the cost of living.This episode is about geographic rigidity in transition. Staying can be a smart foundation. It can also be a comfortable trap. Moving can be liberation. It can also be chaos. The point isn't “stay” or “go.” The point is whether you're making a strategic decision, or an emotional one, before you ever submit an application.Transition group tipsClose Range Group (less than a year from transition): Research geographic factors before you apply. You're going to want to blast out applications, but you need real data first, like cost of living, local demand for your skills, and whether your certifications or status transfer to that state.Medium Range Group (a few years from transition): Create optionality before you need it. Build credentials that travel and grow a network in the region you might want, including conferences or training events, so you're not starting cold later.Long Range Group (a decade or more from transition): Don't build a life you can't leave. Keep your footprint light, avoid getting overextended, and protect your ability to say “yes” to an opportunity anywhere so you stay a free agent instead of getting pinned to one place.Get additional resources and join our newsletter via the link in the show notes.CONNECT WITH THE PODCAST:IG: https://www.instagram.com/paulpantani/WEBSITE: https://www.transitiondrillpodcast.comLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/paulpantani/SIGN-UP FOR THE NEWSLETTER:https://transitiondrillpodcast.com/home#aboutQUESTIONS OR COMMENTS:paul@transitiondrillpodcast.comSPONSORS:Frontline OpticsGet 10% off your purchaseLink: https://frontlineoptics.comPromocode: Transition10Blue Line RoastingGet 10% off your purchaseLink: https://bluelineroasting.comPromocode: Transition10

In this episode of "The Free Lawyer" podcast, host Gary interviews Amy Mariani, a former trial attorney turned mediator and arbitrator. Amy discusses her career journey, the challenges of traditional legal practice, and her transition to mediation. She shares insights on the emotional and practical aspects of mediation, the impact of virtual platforms like Zoom, and the importance of self-reflection and mentorship for lawyers. Amy emphasizes aligning career choices with personal values and offers practical advice for selecting mediators and resolving disputes creatively.For over twenty years, Amy represented individuals and businesses in employment, personal injury, and business disputes. Many of those cases went to trial, but Amy resolved many others through effective and creative negotiation. Her experiences working for regional and national firms exposed her to the unique needs of individuals, small and medium businesses, and multi-national corporations. This in turn gives her insights into their similar and disparate interests and concerns during the mediation process.Since 2013, Amy's mediation skills have saved hundreds of individuals and businesses thousands of dollars, countless hours of time, and immeasurable amounts of stress.Amy's Career Pivot: Motivation and Reflection (00:02:16) Reality vs. Expectation of Trial Law (00:03:24) Law Firm Experiences: Pros and Cons (00:05:36) Advice for Lawyers Feeling Unsatisfied (00:08:50) Overcoming the Mental Hurdle of Career Change (00:11:05) Building a Mediation Practice: Early Challenges (00:12:54) Checkpoints for Career Satisfaction (00:13:47) Transition to Mediation: Process and Distinctions (00:15:01) Amy's Mediation Approach and Pre-Mediation Process (00:17:18) Handling Emotions in Mediation (00:19:31) The Value of Being Heard in Mediation (00:21:57) Court-Ordered Mediation and Emotional Release (00:23:05) Zoom vs. In-Person Mediation: Pros and Cons (00:24:02) Benefits of In-Person Mediation (00:25:12) Trends and the Future of Dispute Resolution (00:27:01) Personal Freedom Through Mediation (00:29:10) The Role of Mentorship and Coaching (00:30:45) Advice for Lawyers Seeking Alignment and Fulfillment (00:32:28) Creative Conflict Resolution and Mediator Selection (00:34:28) Qualities of an Effective Mediator (00:36:04)You can find The Free Lawyer Assessment here- https://www.garymiles.net/the-free-lawyer-assessmentWould you like to learn what it looks like to become a truly Free Lawyer?

Décision radicale des autorités gabonaises : « La HAC, la Haute Autorité de la communication, du pays a annoncé avant-hier « la suspension immédiate des réseaux sociaux sur le territoire gabonais "jusqu'à nouvel ordre" ». C'est ce que pointe notamment Le Monde Afrique. « Sans désigner les plateformes concernées, la Haute autorité a justifié cette décision par la présence de contenus risquant "d'engendrer des conflits sociaux, de déstabiliser les institutions de la République et de mettre gravement en péril l'unité nationale, les avancées et les acquis démocratiques" ». Le ministre de la Communication et des médias, Germain Biahodjow justifie cette décision dans les colonnes de L'Union à Libreville : c'est une « démarche, dit-il, de préservation de l'ordre public, du vivre ensemble, de paix et de préservation de l'amour entre les Gabonais. (…) Cette mesure exceptionnelle n'est pas une remise en cause de la liberté d'expression dans notre pays, poursuit-il. (…) Le Gouvernement s'engage à conduire une réforme en profondeur visant à réorganiser et à sécuriser l'écosystème national de communication numérique, tant aux plans juridique qu'opérationnel ». Levée de boucliers Pour sa part, l'opposition s'insurge : le PDG, le parti démocratique gabonais, dit sa « stupeur et son indignation » et affirme que « sanctionner des millions d'utilisateurs innocents pour les agissements supposés de quelques-uns constitue une sanction collective, étrangère à tout État de droit ». Des propos rapportés par le site Gabon Actu. Sur ce même site, indignation également pour le FDR, Le forum pour la défense de la République, pourtant plutôt proche du pouvoir. Le FDR qui qualifie cette mesure « d'arbitraire et disproportionnée et qui porte une atteinte directe aux droits fondamentaux des Gabonais ». L'impact politico-économique De son côté, le site Gabon Review prévient : ce « blackout sur les réseaux sociaux » va entrainer « des dégâts économiques et politiques. (…) On réduit trop facilement les réseaux sociaux à un simple vacarme numérique. C'est une erreur d'analyse, s'exclame Gabon Review. Ils sont devenus une infrastructure économique parallèle. Boutiques Instagram, commandes WhatsApp, prospection Facebook, publicités sponsorisées : une part croissante du commerce urbain vit, respire et encaisse grâce à ces canaux sur internet. Couper les réseaux, ce n'est pas faire taire des commentaires. C'est couper des sources de revenus ». Sur le plan politique, reconnait Gabon Review, il est vrai que « depuis la Transition, une partie de l'activisme numérique, souvent animée depuis la diaspora, a effectivement durci le ton, multipliant attaques personnelles et propos diffamatoires contre le chef de l'État et les institutions. C'est un fait. Mais, s'interroge le site gabonais, une dérive ciblée appelle-t-elle une réponse globale ? Des mécanismes existent : retrait de contenus illicites, suspension de comptes récidivistes, décisions judiciaires individualisées. Choisir l'interruption générale, c'est privilégier la masse à la précision ». Bref, résume, Gabon Review, « en actionnant l'interrupteur général, la HAC ne suspend pas seulement des plateformes : elle touche l'économie digitale et ouvre un débat aux enjeux économiques, juridiques, politiques et internationaux. Fallait-il éteindre toute la ville pour étouffer quelques incendies ? » Des outils de régulation existent ! « Ne coupez, mon général, régulez ! », renchérit WakatSéra au Burkina Faso. En effet, précise Le Pays, « dans bien des États, des textes existent pour punir ceux, (sur la toile), qui se mettent en porte-à-faux avec la loi. Pourquoi alors ne pas se focaliser sur cette solution, plutôt que de faire le choix de la suspension pour tout le monde ? (…) En suspendant les réseaux sociaux, le président Oligui a voulu casser le thermomètre. Pour autant, pourra-t-il faire baisser la fièvre ? » En fait, souligne Afrik.com, « le problème n'est pas tant le diagnostic — les dérives des réseaux sociaux sont réelles et documentées —, que la thérapeutique choisie. Des outils existent, tels que le retrait de contenus illicites, la suspension de comptes récidivistes, les injonctions judiciaires, qui permettent de traiter les abus sans éteindre tout l'espace numérique. Ce que cette crise révèle, en définitive, c'est une urgence bien réelle, relève encore Afrik.com : celle de construire des cadres de gouvernance numérique adaptés aux contextes locaux, capables de protéger les citoyens contre les dérives avérées des grandes plateformes, sans pour autant couper le lien qui unit désormais les peuples à l'information, à l'économie, et entre eux. Le Gabon n'est pas le premier pays à se trouver face à ce défi. Il ne sera pas le dernier ».

In this episode of Founded & Funded, Ben Gilbert, co-host of the Acquired podcast, sits down with Chase Lochmiller, co-founder and CEO of Crusoe-AI, the company building what it calls AI factories, including its massive campus in Abilene, Texas, which are designed to power this new era of intelligence. In this conversation, Ben and Chase explore the physical reality behind today's AI revolution. Why modern AI workloads demand entirely new infrastructure. How energy has become the primary bottleneck to scaling intelligence. What it takes to compress multi-year building timelines into months. And how Crusoe's energy-first philosophy, from capturing flared methane to siting facilities near abundant wind power, shaped its path to building one of the world's largest AI computing campuses. This is a must-watch for anyone building in AI or rethinking infrastructure for the next era of intelligence.

Together, they dive into Louise's recent research exploring how psilocybin, the active compound in psychedelic mushrooms, may influence aging biology at the cellular and organismal level.Louise shares the story behind her curiosity about psilocybin, sparked by conversations with a friend and fueled by a lack of scientific answers. She explains how her team overcame regulatory hurdles to study the effects of psilocybin on human cells and aging mice. Their findings showed that psilocybin extended cellular lifespan and reduced hallmarks of aging, such as oxidative stress and DNA damage. In mice, regular dosing improved survival, reversed visible signs of aging, and affected organs beyond the brain.The conversation also covers the challenges of translating these findings into humans, the need for more research on dosing and safety, and the importance of funding in moving this field forward. Louise encourages listeners to stay curious, think beyond established paths, and keep an open mind as new questions and discoveries emerge in the science of aging.Guest-at-a-Glance

Leveling up your game just got so much easier, thanks to the new cutting-edge technology from BeONE Sports — a startup that uses mobile motion-capture and AI to enhance athletic performance, prevent injuries, and support coaches and athletes at every level.Co-founded by former Division I athlete Scott Deans '22, the idea for BeONE started right here at Rice Business. Scott has loved sports since his days playing football, and through the EMBA program, he found a way to bring his passion and business acumen together.He joins co-host Brian Jackson '21 to discuss his early career journey through architecture, the 12 years he spent at bp and what ultimately led him to Rice Business. They also dive deep into the exciting technology being used at BeONE and how the company's partnership with Rice Athletics is helping student athletes optimize their performance and prevent injuries.Episode Guide:00:00 Introduction to Scott Deans and BeONE Sports01:02 Scott's Athletic Journey and Transition to Architecture05:55 From Architecture to Analytics at BP12:56 Pursuing an MBA at Rice University16:36 Founding BeONE Sports and Its Technology28:23 Partnerships and Applications of BeONE Sports37:44 Challenges and Advice for Entrepreneurs42:20 Conclusion and Final ThoughtsThe Owl Have You Know Podcast is a production of Rice Business and is produced by University FM.Episode Quotes:On building company your passionate about19:35: I sometimes imagine if I had chosen the other, one of the other companies, and I was like, there is no way I would be here after four years, grinding through the trenches, as they say, on something that did not matter to me. So, yeah, I think that is a huge, huge point in any entrepreneurial journey, that it has to matter to you; otherwise, you are not willing to compromise and go through all the pain in order to make it successful.How the Rice program helped Scott build his business28:30: So another big piece of the program at Rice was really focused on, like, building a team. And I have been a coach for a long time. I have been part of teams and built teams, so teams are, in my opinion, the linchpin, really the basis for product and a business and all those things. But part of that process is everybody's recognizing what they are good at and what they are not good at, and then where you have gaps. You need to find people who are strong in those areas. So, recognize really quickly the areas that I am not strong at and, Jason, basically from a business side and many other sides, filled those perfectly.The importance of asking better questions09:55: Always try to ask better questions, and this has been a mantra of mine since I was a little kid. I think. Because, you know, there are always going to be answers. You can always find a solution. But is the solution the right one? And is there a better question we could be asking to, you know, a lot of rework or pivoting and changing. And so it creates a mindset of constant flux, like you are in constant change. And that is not an easy mindset for many people.Show Links: BeONE Sports “Rice partners with BeONE Sports to transform athlete performance with AI technology” | Rice BusinessTranscriptGuest Profile:Scott Deans | LinkedIn

This week, I sit down with Michele Scherr to explore a deeply human and often overlooked part of major life transitions:The loss of identity that can occur when familiar roles fall away.Whether leaving the military, healthcare, corporate life, sport, or any structured environment, the first twelve months can be one of the most vulnerable periods for mental health.Even with strong support systems, many people quietly struggle with one powerful question:“Who am I now?”In this powerful conversation, Michele explains why recovery is not about chasing more programs, retreats, or quick fixes — it's about building a stable foundation rooted in self-understanding.We explore how identity loss impacts purpose, emotional wellbeing, and direction, and why so many people feel unsettled despite doing “all the right things.”At the core of Michele's work is helping people reconnect with:✔️ Their natural design✔️ Their body's signals✔️ Personal rhythms✔️ What genuinely supports their wellbeingBecause healing becomes far more sustainable when you understand yourself first.We also discuss how personalised routines around sleep, nutrition, movement, and environment can create stability during uncertain times — and why slowing down often creates more clarity than pushing forward.If you are navigating a transition, feeling untethered from who you once were, or searching for meaning in what comes next, this episode offers a grounded reminder:Clarity doesn't come from doing more, it comes from listening.Connect with Michele Scherr:LinkedIn  → linkedin.com/in/michele-scherrWebsite → personalisedhealthandwellbeingsolutions.com.auConnect with Steve:Instagram → https://bit.ly/3KARQhR LinkedIn  → https://bit.ly/48sw8Vj Episode Highlights00:00:00 - Why the first twelve months after transition are the most dangerous00:00:45 - The overwhelm of too many support options00:01:30 - The jigsaw puzzle metaphor and missing foundations00:02:40 - Identity, purpose, and ego during transition00:03:30 - Masks, personas, and adaptation versus authenticity00:04:40 - Listening to the body for personal cues00:05:40 - Sleep, nutrition, movement, and individual design00:06:55 - Adjusting routines to real life circumstances00:08:10 - Creating emotional stability before interventions00:09:20 - Curiosity as the entry point to self understanding00:10:30 - Personalisation, alignment, and sustainability00:11:40 - Healing that feels easy because it fitsABOUT THE PODCAST SHOWThe Noise of Life is a podcast that shares real stories, raw truths, and remarkable growth.

David Haugh and Gabe Ramirez welcomed on Leila Rahimi and Mark Grote for the daily transition segment.

Syria is at a pivotal moment. After the fall of Bashar al-Assad, the country's new leadership under President Ahmed al-Sharaa is working to reunify a fractured state — and the biggest test is unfolding in the northeast, where the U.S.-backed Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) have operated autonomously for nearly a decade.In recent weeks, a fragile ceasefire and phased integration agreement has put Syrian Interior Ministry forces back into major cities like Hasakeh and Qamishli. On paper, the deal could mark the beginning of Syria's re-centralization. However, that fragility was exposed in early 2026, when fighting broke out between the SDF and Syrian government forces, raising fresh doubts about whether integration can hold.In this episode of The Burn Bag, A'ndre Gonawela sits down with Charles Lister, Senior Fellow and Director of the Syria Initiative at the Middle East Institute, to provide a clear, ground-level primer on what's actually happening — and what could come next.Together, they unpack how Syria's political map shifted after Assad's fall and why the Syrian Democratic Forces remain central to the country's trajectory. The discussion breaks down what the March 2025 integration framework actually required, why talks stalled ahead of the January escalation, and what Interior Ministry deployments into Hasakeh and Qamishli signal about Damascus' return to the northeast. They also examine how Arab tribal defections reshaped eastern Syria, whether ISIS is quietly adapting, how the U.S. posture may evolve, and the most likely paths ahead — consolidation, hybrid control, or renewed conflict.Follow Charles on X @Charles_Lister and check out his other work here.
