Discovering Grayslake: Unveiling the Stories and People That Make Our Town Unique
In this episode of "Discovering Grayslake," recorded at The Loop Marketing, the hosts welcome Jennifer Everett, president of Foundation 46 and a Grayslake Middle School reading specialist. Jennifer shares how Foundation 46 supports local teachers and students through flexible grants, fundraising events like Barn Fest, and community activities such as school scavenger hunts. The conversation highlights the importance of community involvement, employer donation matching, and volunteering. Listeners are encouraged to attend events, apply for grants, and help spread the word, all working together to strengthen Grayslake's hometown spirit and support its schools. How Foundation 46 Empowers Grayslake: A Deep Dive into Community-Driven Educational Support Grayslake is more than just a town—it's a community where neighbors look out for each other, and where local organizations like Foundation 46 are making a real difference in the lives of teachers, students, and families. In a recent episode of the "Discovering Grayslake" podcast, recorded at The Loop Marketing at the end of Center Street and Lake, we sat down with Jennifer Everett, a seventh-grade reading specialist at Grayslake Middle School and the current president of Foundation 46. Jennifer, along with our hosts, shared invaluable insights into how Foundation 46 operates, the impact it has, and how every community member can get involved. This blog post unpacks the main themes and actionable tips from the episode, offering a comprehensive guide for anyone interested in supporting education in Grayslake. Whether you're a teacher, parent, business owner, or simply a neighbor who cares, there's a role for you in this hometown effort. What is Foundation 46? Foundation 46 is a local nonprofit dedicated to supporting teachers and students in Grayslake's District 46. Through grants, fundraising events, and community partnerships, the foundation provides resources and opportunities that go beyond what the school budget can cover. Their mission is simple: empower educators, enrich student experiences, and strengthen the community. 1. Flexible, Teacher-Friendly Grants: Fueling Creativity in the Classroom How the Grant Program Works One of the standout features of Foundation 46 is its open, rolling grant application process. Unlike many grant programs that have rigid deadlines, Foundation 46 allows teachers to apply whenever inspiration strikes. Applications are reviewed monthly, making it easier for busy educators to access funding when they need it most. Types of Grants: Project Grants:** $500–$1,000 for classroom projects, materials, or programs. Impact Grants:** Over $1,000 for larger, collaborative, or cross-school initiatives. Application Process: Teachers submit a Google Form detailing their project, its goals, and the number of students impacted. The Foundation uses a rubric to ensure fair, transparent evaluation. If more information is needed, teachers are encouraged to revise and resubmit—Foundation 46 is committed to helping ideas succeed, not just rubber-stamping or rejecting applications. Actionable Tips for Teachers Don't Wait for the "Perfect" Idea:** If you see a need in your classroom, apply! The process is designed to be supportive, not intimidating. Collaborate Across Schools:** Projects that benefit multiple classrooms or schools are especially encouraged. Think Beyond Supplies:** Past grants have funded everything from sensory kits and STEM materials to author visits and family reading nights. Reapply if Needed:** If your application isn't approved the first time, use the feedback to strengthen your proposal and try again. Expert Insight Jennifer Everett emphasizes, "We want to say yes. If you have a creative idea that will benefit students, we're here to help you make it happen." 2. Fundraising with Heart: Barn Fest and Beyond Barn Fest: The Signature Event Barn Fest is Foundation 46's biggest annual fundraiser, held at Jessie Oaks. It's an adult-only evening packed with fun—think mechanical bull rides, live music from Stu the Piano Guy, games, drink specials, and both live and silent auctions. The event is more than just a party; it's a chance for the whole community to rally behind local schools. Key Features: Affordable Tickets:** $25 for teachers, $40 for community members (includes dinner). Community Awards:** The Tom Mescal Award honors outstanding contributors. Unique Auction Items:** From rides in fire trucks to airplane experiences, the auction is always a highlight. Themed Fun:** This year's "Denim and Diamonds" theme blends country charm with a touch of sparkle. Other Fundraising Initiatives Dine-In Shares:** Local restaurants like The Vine and Black Lung host special nights where a portion of proceeds goes to Foundation 46. Scavenger Hunts:** Family-friendly events at local schools encourage exploration and community spirit. Sponsorships:** Local businesses can sponsor events or donate auction items, gaining visibility and goodwill. Actionable Tips for Community Members Attend Events:** Your ticket directly supports grants for teachers. Donate Auction Items:** Unique experiences or services are always in demand. Sponsor a Fundraiser:** Businesses can make a big impact and connect with local families. Host a Dine-In Share:** Restaurant owners, consider partnering with Foundation 46 for a win-win event. Expert Insight Jennifer notes, "We want Barn Fest to be a celebration for everyone, not just teachers. The more the community gets involved, the more we can do for our schools." 3. Maximizing Impact: Employer Matching and Volunteer Power Employer Matching: Double (or Triple) Your Donation Many local companies—including AbbVie, Allstate, Cardinal Health, CDW, First Midwest Bank, Granger, Kraft, Discover, and Motorola—offer matching gift programs. This means your donation to Foundation 46 could be doubled or even tripled, at no extra cost to you. How to Take Advantage: Check with HR:** Ask your employer if they match charitable donations. Submit Your Receipt:** Even event tickets may qualify as a donation. Spread the Word:** Encourage coworkers to participate. Real-World Example: At last year's Barn Fest, a $1,000 donation was matched by Granger, resulting in a $3,000–$4,000 total impact. Volunteering: The Heartbeat of Foundation 46 Like many nonprofits, Foundation 46 relies on a core group of dedicated volunteers—but they're always looking for more hands and fresh ideas. Ways to Volunteer: Join the Board:** Meetings are open to the public, held the first Thursday of each month at Frederick School's Falcon Room. Help at Events:** From setup to auction management, there's a role for everyone. Spread the Word:** Share Foundation 46's mission on social media or within your school community. Jennifer's Wish: "If even a small percentage of our 500 district employees volunteered, we'd have an incredible team. Every bit helps." 4. Expanding the Mission: Scholarships and Community Engagement New Initiatives: Student Scholarships Starting in 2026, Foundation 46 plans to offer student scholarships to help cover costs like sports fees for families in need. This expansion reflects a commitment to supporting not just teachers, but students and their families as well. Community-Building Activities School Scavenger Hunts:** Inspired by Jennifer's own experiences, these events encourage families to explore local schools and connect with each other. Family Reading Nights and Author Visits:** Funded by grants, these programs foster a love of learning and bring the community together. Actionable Tips for Families Participate in Events:** Bring your family to scavenger hunts and reading nights. Apply for Scholarships:** If you need help with extracurricular costs, watch for upcoming opportunities. Stay Informed:** Follow Foundation 46 on social media and sign up for newsletters. 5. How to Get Involved: Your Next Steps For Teachers: Apply for a grant—no idea is too small or too big. Collaborate with colleagues for cross-school projects. For Parents and Community Members: Attend Barn Fest and other events. Volunteer your time or skills. Donate or secure auction items. Check if your employer offers matching gifts. For Local Businesses: Sponsor an event or donate services. Host a dine-in share night. For Everyone: Share Foundation 46's mission on social media. Encourage friends and neighbors to get involved. Attend a board meeting to learn more. Contact Information: Email:** foundation46board@gmail.com Website:** foundation46.org Final Thoughts: Small Actions, Big Impact As Jennifer and the podcast hosts remind us, supporting local schools is a community effort. Whether you're donating, volunteering, or simply spreading the word, every action counts. In the words of our host, "Do one or two random acts of kindness each day—especially during the holiday season. Together, we can make Grayslake an even better place to live, learn, and grow."

🧭 REBEL Rundown 🗝️ Key Points 💨 Peak vs. Plateau Pressures: PIP reflects total airway resistance and compliance, while Pplat isolates alveolar compliance—elevations in both suggest decreased lung compliance (e.g., ARDS, pulmonary edema, pneumothorax).🧱 PEEP Protects Alveoli: Maintains alveolar recruitment and prevents collapse; typical range 5–8 cmH₂O, but higher levels may benefit moderate–severe ARDS.️ Driving Pressure (ΔP = Pplat − PEEP): Lower ΔP reduces atelectrauma and improves outcomes; optimize by adjusting PEEP thoughtfully.💥 Prevent VILI: Keep Pplat < 30 cmH₂O, use low tidal volumes (6 mL/kg IBW), and monitor for barotrauma, volutrauma, atelectrauma, and biotrauma.📚 Evidence-Based Practice: ARDSNet and subsequent trials confirm that lung-protective ventilation—low Vt, limited pressures, and individualized PEEP—improves survival in ARDS. Click here for Direct Download of the Podcast. 📝 Introduction This episode reviews essential ventilator pressures and how to interpret them during ICU rounds. 🚀 Under Pressure Peak Inspiratory Pressure (PIP)Definition: Total pressure required to deliver a breath.Reflects: Airway resistance + lung/chest wall compliance.Common Causes of ↑ PIP:Mucus pluggingBiting the endotracheal tubeKinked tubing or bronchospasmPlateau Pressure (Pplat)Definition: Alveolar pressure measured after an inspiratory hold.Reflects: Lung compliance (stiffness of lung tissue).When Both PIP & Pplat Are Elevated:→ Indicates poor compliance (e.g., ARDS, pulmonary edema, pneumothorax).Positive End-Expiratory Pressure (PEEP)Definition: Pressure remaining in airways at end-expiration to prevent alveolar collapse.Typical Range: 5–8 cmH₂O but needs to titrated to meet patient requirements Notes:Provides physiologic “glottic” PEEP in intubated patients.Using high PEEP strategy shows mortality benefit only in moderate–severe ARDS in meta-analysis.Driving Pressure (ΔP)Definition: ΔP = Pplat − PEEP.Reflects: Pressure needed to keep alveoli open during the respiratory cycle.Goal: Lower ΔP → less atelectrauma & improved outcomes.Optimize: Increase PEEP to reduce ΔP and alveolar cycling. 📖 Interpreting High PIP/High Pplat ↑ PIP & ↑ PplatInterpretation: ↓ ComplianceCommon Causes: ARDS, pulmonary edema, pleural effusion, pneumothorax↑ PIP & Normal/Low PplatInterpretation: ↑ Airway ResistanceCommon Causes: Mucus plug, bronchospasm, tube obstruction or biting 🤕 Ventilator-Associated Lung Injury (VILI) Barotrauma:Mechanism: Excessive airway pressure damages alveoli.Prevention: Keep Pplat < 30 cmH₂O.Volutrauma:Mechanism: Overdistension from excessive tidal volumes.Prevention: Use low tidal volume ventilation (6 mL/kg ideal body weight).ARDSNet trial: 6 mL/kg → lower mortality compared to 12 mL/kg.Ideal Body Weight: Based on height and sex, not actual weight.Typical patient: Tidal Volume: 6–8 mL/kg IBWARDS: Tidal Volume: 4–6 mL/kg IBWAtelectrauma:Mechanism: Repeated opening/collapse of unstable alveoli.Prevention: Optimize PEEP to keep alveoli open and reduce driving pressure.Biotrauma:Mechanism: Inflammatory cascade (↑ IL-6, TNF-α) from mechanical injury.Effect: Can trigger systemic inflammation & multiorgan dysfunction.Prevention: Minimize all other forms of VILI.

One of the lessons I learned too late in my fly fishing was that trout live in places that aren't labeled "trout water." Although I love and appreciate the fly fishing only, catch and release streams that are out there, they only represent a fraction of the excellent trout fishing that is available. If you limit yourself to a type of river you're missing out. Even streams that don't have any special regulations and allow for the harvest of multiple trout can be great options for the catch and release angler. Today I approach the topic of regulated water from a general perspective. Take what I say, check out your local regulations, and then pull up a map. Find fish wherever they may be.

Types of Mom's You See at Every Holiday Event: School holiday events are basically a social experiment. This episode, we're talking about the different types of moms you see at every Christmas concert, class party, and festive school gathering. From the mom who is thriving in full holiday gear to the mom running on no sleep, no coffee, and pure survival mode, we share the characters you'll instantly recognize and probably identify with. Most Unhinged Family Member at Christmas: Every family has that person and Christmas just brings it out. This episode, we're talking about the most unhinged family member at the holiday table. From chaotic comments to questionable behavior, we share our own real-life examples and invite you to nominate yours. If you've ever survived Christmas dinner and needed a drink afterward, this one's for you. What's Trending: We're covering a little bit of everything today…starting with the Santa Cruz teacher who broke the internet and somehow caught Khloé Kardashian's attention. Then it's all about holiday candy nostalgia as Nerds brings back Christmas Frosty gummies for National Hard Candy Day. We'll tell you what's going on around SF tonight, including Union Square's Winter Walk and the Fort Mason Night Market (Taylor will be there), and wrap things up with sports. Second Date Update: Andrew thought he'd just had one of those rare, refreshing dates. Sofia was smart, intentional, and genuinely interested in his life. They talked family, food, and future plans and it felt like two adults seeing if their lives could actually align. He left dinner hopeful. Maybe even a little excited. Then reality set in. Khloe Kardashian Has Entered the Chat:A Santa Cruz teacher goes viral, Khloé Kardashian jumps into the comments, and suddenly everyone's invested. We unpack how Jacob Myers' relatable teacher content turned into a Kardashian-adjacent moment, why fans started playing matchmaker, and whether the whole thing feels heartfelt or performative. Marcus is skeptical, Taylor's just thinks he's hot, and we debate what viral fame really means, especially in education. Good News: After an SUV crashed through the front of a Redwood City Ace Hardware and started a fire, a 16-year-old employee stepped up in a huge way. This episode highlights his quick thinking, the intense moments inside the store, and how everyone made it out safely before flames spread. A scary situation with a powerful reminder of how fast actions can make all the difference.

The Love, Happiness and Success Podcast With Dr. Lisa Marie Bobby
What if the key to success and happiness isn't working harder, but finally understanding how you're wired to thrive? Many people unknowingly work against their own strengths and personality, leading to stress, stalled career growth, and strained relationships. In this episode, you'll learn how to uncover obstacles, unlock your personal greatness, and start living in your type of working genius. Burnout doesn't always come from doing too much. Often, it comes from spending too much time doing the kind of work that drains you. Patrick Lencioni and I talk about why stress, frustration, and self-criticism are frequent signals of misalignment rather than failure, and how understanding your natural skills can change the way you work, lead, and relate to the people you love. Patrick is the creator of the Working Genius assessment and author of The Six Types of Working Genius. Together, we explore how the Working Genius framework helps people understand their strengths, release shame around what feels hard, and create healthier relationships at work and at home. We also talk about why rest alone doesn't resolve burnout, and why doing more of the right kind of work often restores energy, confidence, and momentum. As you listen, you may find yourself reconsidering long-held beliefs about success, productivity, and what you “should” be good at, and noticing where clarity could replace stress.

Burnout might be looming and that isn't just because you're doing too much. It's often about doing the wrong kind of work. Patrick created the Working Genius assessment to help you discover what kind of work gives you energy and what drains it. It's helped me find more balance, not by doing less, but by focusing on what I'm actually wired for.

Freelancers are giving away their most valuable AI insights, and not getting paid for it. In today's episode, we're taking a hard look at one of the biggest blind spots for freelance writers and content pros right now: the failure to package your AI knowledge into a paid offer. Your clients want to use AI. They're trying. But they're confused, overwhelmed, and scared of doing it wrong. And guess what? You already have the skills and experience to guide them. But unless you turn that informal help into a structured service, it's just free advice that goes nowhere. In this episode, we're going to fix that. What You'll Learn Why most freelance writers are leaving serious money on the table when it comes to AI The three types of AI helpers, and why only one gets paid what they're worth How to package your AI knowledge into a sellable offer (with real examples) The "three blockers" that keep most freelancers from monetizing their AI skills What happens after you package your AI services, and how to push through impostor syndrome Key Ideas & Takeaways The real constraint is implementation confidence within your clients' teams. Everyone has the tools. What they don't have is the confidence to use them well. They're worried about brand voice, risk, reputation, and wasting time. That's where you come in. But clients won't pay you for casual tips. They'll pay for structured guidance. The 3 Types of AI Help The Informal Helper (Invisible Labor) · You're answering AI questions and offering tips for free · No structure, no price, no perceived value The AI-Enabled Doer (Efficient But Undervalued) You use AI to deliver better work faster, but you're still billing for output, not insight Clients don't see the "how," just the deliverable The AI Implementation Partner (Where the Money Is) You guide teams, build workflows, train staff, and solve real problems This is a packaged consulting offer, and it can command $5K–$10K+ fees The 3 Packaging Blockers (And How to Overcome Them) Blocker 1: "I don't know enough" Reality: You don't need to be an expert, just more knowledgeable than your clients Action: Write down 10 AI lessons you've learned the hard way. Your first offer is likely somewhere in there Blocker 2: "I don't know what to sell" Reality: Your offer is hiding in your inbox and client conversations. Extract it from the questions clients already ask Action: Track every AI-related client question over the next 30 days. Your next offer is in there Blocker 3: "I don't know how to price it" Reality: You're not selling outputs, you're selling transformation Action: Anchor your pricing to the outcomes and risk reduction you create The Anatomy of a Packaged AI Service Every successful offer has four parts: The Constraint You're Managing Examples: "I help marketing teams adopt AI without destroying their brand voice." "I implement AI systems legal will approve." "I guide consultants through using AI to mine insights from their internal data." The Deliverables & Process Week 1: Audit Weeks 2–3: Build custom GPTs, create systems Week 4: Train team, hand off playbook The Timeline 3–4 weeks is ideal. Clear start, clear end. The Outcome/Transformation Examples: "You'll get an AI-powered content workflow that triples output without sacrificing quality." "You'll eliminate brand voice inconsistencies in AI-generated content." "You'll get your team onboard with AI confidently and safely." What Happens After You Package It You'll doubt yourself. That's normal You'll stumble through the first pitch You'll realize you know more than you thought Clients will love your structure more than your brilliance You don't need to be the best AI expert. You just need to be the one your client trusts. And you need to take those first few steps in faith, trusting that the path will appear as you move forward. Listener Challenge Take action this week: List 10 things you've learned from using AI in your freelance work Track any AI-related questions your clients ask Package what you already know into a 3–4 week offer Pitch it to one person Start small. Start now. That's how real momentum builds. Want Help Packaging Your Own AI Service? If this episode sparked ideas, I'm running a half-day, 1-on-1 workshop plus a 3-week coaching sprint to help you package their AI knowledge into premium consulting services. No spots open at the moment, but I may open some spots in January or February. If you'd like to work with me privately on this, shoot me an email (ed at b2blauncher dot com) with "AI Consultant Accelerator" in the subject line, and I'll reply with the details.

This show has been flagged as Clean by the host. 01 Introduction This episode is the second in an 8 part series on nuclear reactor technology. This episode will cover types of nuclear fuel, recycling of nuclear fuel, uranium and thorium resources, and medical isotopes. 03 Types of Nuclear Fuel 03 Natural Uranium 04 Enriched Uranium 05 Mixed Oxide Fuel, or MOX 06 Thorium Fuel 08 Plutonium in Uranium Cycle Reactors 09 Depleted Uranium 10 Oxide or Ceramic versus Metallic Fuel 12 Recycling Spent Fuel 13 Once Through Fuel Cycles 14 Reprocessing Spent Uranium Fuel into Mixed Oxide or MOX Fuel 16 Reprocessing and Thorium Fuel 17 Direct Reuse of Spent Light Water Fuel in Heavy Water Moderated Reactors 18 DUPIC - Direct Use of Used PWR Fuel in CANDU 20 RepU - Reprocessed Uranium Fuel in CANDU 21 Uranium and Thorium Resources 21 Uranium Mining 22 Uranium in Sea Water 23 Thorium 24 Medical Isotopes 25 Examples of Common Medical Isotopes 26 How Medical Isotopes are Made 27 Producing Isotopes in Research Reactors 29 Producing Isotopes in Power Reactors 31 Summary The basis of nuclear fission is nuclear fuel. There are three main types of nuclear fuel in commercial use today. These are natural uranium, enriched uranium, and mixed oxide or MOX uranium-plutonium mixtures. It is possible to use thorium in a sort of thorium-plutonium or thorium-uranium MOX fuel, but this not currently economically viable at this time when uranium is so cheap and abundant. Spent fuel can be recycled and used in a reactor again. Medical isotopes are an important byproduct of the nuclear industry, and a large share of the world's population has benefited from this at one time or another. 32 Conclusion In the next episode I will describe the basic features and characteristics of reactors together with descriptions of the most widely used commercial reactor types. This concludes the second episode of an 8 part series on nuclear reactor technology. Provide feedback on this episode.

One thread, often barely acknowledged, always present in violent extremist attacks: misogyny. Cynthia Miller-Idriss is a sociologist and professor in the School of Public Affairs and the School of Education at American University, where she is the founding director of the Polarization and Extremism Research and Innovation Lab (PERIL). She joins host Krys Boyd to discuss why we need to confront misogyny head on to prevent future acts of violence, and why attackers so often blame women for their hateful beliefs. Her book is “Man Up: The New Misogyny and the Rise of Violent Extremism.” Learn about your ad choices: dovetail.prx.org/ad-choices
Have you ever felt that deep longing to step away from your practice—not for a long weekend or a quick vacation, but for a real pause? A stretch of time where you can rest, reset, and reconnect with yourself outside of the constant giving that comes with this work? That's exactly what Maegan Megginson and I explore in today's episode. Why Sabbaticals Matter—Beyond “Time Off” Most of us only hear the word sabbatical in academic circles, but as Maegan reminds us, its root is “Sabbath”—rest. Somewhere along the way, rest became another productivity tool, something to “use well” rather than simply experience. As therapists and practice owners, we need something different. A true sabbatical isn't for catching up on house projects or writing endless to-do lists—it's about completely reimagining your relationship with time, worth, and spaciousness. Transforming Your Relationship with Time: The Power of Sabbaticals for Therapists (00:06:57) The 4 Types of Sabbaticals for Small Business Owners (00:12:12) Healing & Self-Discovery During Time Away (00:17:43) Productivity Culture and Its Roots (00:20:38) Business Challenges to Taking a Sabbatical (00:25:18) Adjusting Business Systems to Integrate a Transformative Experience (00:29:45) Modeling Self-Care for Others (00:35:24) Collective Sabbatical for Conscious Shifts (00:36:45) Sabbatical Journey and Integration (00:40:27) Sabbatical School & Financial Freedom Why This Feels So Hard—And So Important Why This Feels So Hard—And So Important I know the fears that come up, because I've had them too: “My practice will fall apart.” “Clients will leave.” “I can't afford a break.” “People will judge me.” But Maegan and I both believe this wholeheartedly: your business can handle you stepping away for four weeks—and you can handle it too. Preparing your practice for your absence actually builds strength and resilience into your systems. And in truth, four weeks is a tiny blip in your clients' lives. For many of them, it may even model something deeply healing. Sabbaticals as an Act of Rebellion Stepping back isn't indulgent—it's radical. It pushes against the cultural message that your worth depends on your output. It shows your clients, your colleagues, your kids, and the people who look up to you that it's possible to reclaim time, energy, and humanity in a world that constantly asks for more. Your rest creates ripple effects. When you care for yourself, you give others permission to imagine a different way too. This conversation reminded me just how essential meaningful time away is—not only for our health and longevity, but for the stability of our businesses and the well-being of the communities we support. If you're feeling stretched thin, burnt out, or disconnected from yourself, this might be the moment to gently ask: What do I truly need right now? And… What might become possible if I gave myself four full weeks to breathe? Ready to Improve your Business Money Skills? Are you a Solo Private Practice Owner?

Mentorship has become a buzzword in pelvic PT and OT — but most conversations around it are incomplete.In this episode, we break down the four distinct types of mentorship that actually shape clinical confidence, patient outcomes, and long-term career satisfaction. Most clinicians receive some mentorship — but very few receive all four.We unpack:Hard Skills Hands-on techniques, assessments, and interventions — what most people think of as “mentorship,” and what many con-ed courses focus on.Soft Skills Communication, motivation, managing difficult personalities, and helping patients truly buy into care. Often overlooked, but frequently the difference between average and exceptional outcomes.Information Understanding diagnoses, testing, medical management, and knowing what actually matters for the patient in front of you — not just what's theoretically interesting.Professional Development Career guidance, burnout prevention, time management, and mentorship that considers you as a person — not just a clinician.We also talk honestly about what to do if you're not getting this level of mentorship where you work — and how to approach your career strategically instead of hoping things improve on their own.
Rest can feel confusing, uncomfortable, or even stressful when you're neurodivergent. In this episode, I talk about how rest shows up differently for ADHD, autistic, and AuDHD brains, why typical advice doesn't always work, and how to stop treating rest like a reward. I walk through the difference between rest and isolation, how to rest with people, and offer 27 quick, micro break ideas. If rest makes you feel guilty, or restless, I hope this episode will help you rethink what rest can look like on your terms.

Drawing from her personal experiences (six pregnancies, plus her daughter's recent journey) and her professional expertise as a nurse who has supported thousands of women, Trish explains how knowledge can empower listeners and prevent unnecessary panic. She emphasizes that up to 25% of women experience this, and most pregnancies proceed healthily.

My Guest: Patrick Lencioni is the founder of The Table Group and a bestselling author of 14 books, including The Five Dysfunctions of a Team and The 6 Types of Working Genius. Behind his achievements (valedictorian, straight A's, business success) were childhood wounds that drove him to prove himself. Key Learnings "I think I'm really good at anticipating people's objections." I think about what they might be thinking and what I need to put out there. Whether talking interpersonally, giving a speech, writing a book, or on a podcast, I like to think about what the other person might be objecting to. Lean into empathy. I always felt like I needed to prove myself in order to be successful and to feel safe. That's not healthy. "When people tell you they got straight A's and were the valedictorian, the student body president, and got accepted to all the schools they wanted to get into, there's a wound there." Based on my personality type, I shouldn't have done all those things, but it was out of the need to prove myself. Which wasn't healthy for me. My parents had a hard time being affirming because of their own lives. It wasn't until I was 55 years old that a friend who's a psychologist said, "You, my friend, have childhood wounds you've never dealt with." I got good Christian counseling and realized that the way I grew up, I wasn't supposed to grow up that way. It's common in athletes & CEOs to feel like they haven't done enough. They need to do more. "You're a noun, not a verb. You are enough, and you're not defined by what you do." Great achievements come out of fear, but "true greatness is best when it's only in the things that you're meant to be great at, and that you're doing it out of freedom and passion and love, not out of fear of failure." I remember seeing Tiger Woods on the Tonight Show when he was four years old. He was being groomed to be a golfer when he was four. It's best in life when we discover who God means us to be, then we do the things we're supposed to do and we're okay with not being good at the things we're not supposed to. Are we too affirming now as parents? People who are pretty darn good at everything it's usually because they're doing something out of fear. When I was a kid, my parents came from World War II and the Depression. It was like, hey, you got a roof over your head. There was a lot of suffering, and they weren't really attuned to that. Now we are hyper worried of our own kids suffering. No, suffering is actually good. They need to know they're loved and safe, but they're not gonna be protected from what is necessary for their development. The mistake I made was, oh no, I don't want them to feel like I did. Thankfully at my age, I'm now interacting with my mostly adult children and explaining to them what I did wrong. The Teammate Trifecta - How should we use it?: When I wrote The Five Dysfunctions of a Team right after 9/11, I thought, "That's the book on teamwork." Then we realized you need The Ideal Team Player (humble, hungry, and smart) to hire people that fit on teams. Years later, we came up with Working Genius: Are they in the right seat? 3 steps to building a team: Don't let people on the bus if they're not humble, hungry, and smart. Make sure you have them in the right chair based on their gifts. Then teach them the Five Dysfunctions. Pat's Two Working Geniuses: Invention and Discernment "Invention means I love to come up with ideas out of nothing. Discernment means I love evaluating things, curating things. God wired me to do that kind of thing." When people say, "Pat, we have five minutes, and we need a new idea," I just take a deep breath and smile. One man's trash is another man's treasure. Every new idea I've come up with has been in the field, working with people. I asked Jim Collins, "Jim, you do all this research with data. I go into a room with leaders and just think, What's going on here?" He said, "Pat, that's just as valid as what I do. That's called field research and face validity." What is Pat terrible at? Finishing things. People say, "Well you finished 14 books." And that's because I had the help of others to make me finish those. I got a 4.0 in high school. That wasn't my personality. I went to every class in college, never blew off classes. My personality is the kind that should blow off classes that don't matter. But I was so afraid of failing and disappointing my parents and teachers that I did anything they asked. That was not natural; that was fear-based. Can we use fear as useful fuel? "You can use it in the short term, but if you're doing it in your life, no." "We should celebrate what other people are better than we are at things. We should literally celebrate what we suck at." If we have two kids and one's creative and the other's disciplined, we tell the creative one to be more disciplined and the disciplined one to be more creative. No. We have to say, understanding that you're not creative is good for you. That's not who you're meant to be. The hardest thing about being a parent is constantly asking yourself, "Am I pushing them too hard or not enough?" The hardest question you ask yourself as a parent is, "Am I pushing my kids too hard or not hard enough?" This question also applies to yourself. In Working Genius, should I work on my working frustrations? The short answer is no. Working Genius is all about knowing what you love to do. Enablement and Tenacity are my working frustrations, and so many of those things fall into parenting. I'd say to my wife, "Hey, Laura, let's outsource some of these things." Out of fear and guilt, she said no because she felt like she'd be a bad mother. Outsource the work you don't enjoy, and when you have to do it, try your best and don't feel guilty with the result. The electrical company turned off our power for not paying the bill. We need to accept our deficiencies and need to be able to laugh at the things we're not good at. Ryan's Learning Leader Team: When your whole team has Tenacity as their working genius, your team loves to finish things. You will never be flaky. You might stick to something that needs to be changed way before it needs to be. In my company, we're always up for a change in plans, but not great at following through. If your team doesn't have Wonder and Invention, force yourself to borrow from others outside the organization to get new ideas. The Five Dysfunctions of a Team Vulnerability-based trust changes everything in teams. Eric Spoelstra uses Five Dysfunctions with the Miami Heat. He started when they acquired LeBron James. He said, "I don't know what offense we're gonna run this year, but I know we're gonna use the Five Dysfunctions." I love it in basketball, especially because you see them on the court. When people can be so vulnerable that they can say it was my fault, or I need help, or I'm sorry I was kind of a jerk yesterday at practice, it changes everything. But when you have a player who doesn't admit when they made a mistake or who blames everybody else, the ceiling of that team being great is so low. Humble, Hungry, Smart has been a great tool for athletic teams. I define it: no ego, it's about the team (humble). Hungry means I go above and beyond. Smart means I have emotional intelligence. I have the team members say, "Which of those three is your lowest?" It is crazy how people will call out. The goalie said, "I'm not smart. I yell at guys on the field, and I demean them. I gotta get better." Another kid said, "I need to be hungrier. I don't do the workouts at home." Pat phrases it this way when meeting with athletic teams. "Okay, everybody, look around at your teammates and think about the thing they want to get better at. If you want to be a good teammate, when you see your teammate doing the thing he just admitted he wants to get better at, you need to call him out on it." Once people start to have that language, it's amazing how they're coaching each other. And if as a coach yourself, I think you should tell people, "When I was a player, this was mine." They're gonna go, hey, if the coach admits that, I'll do it too. For leaders with Enablement & Tenacity as top geniuses, how do they avoid burnout? You have to be willing to start with "I am prone to burnout if you guys aren't aware of what's going on." The people with enablement and tenacity will say, "I'll just do it," and then they do. We had 12 employees and only one had Tenacity. We said we are going to kill her because every time we have to get something done, we're gonna say, "Jackie will finish." When people have enablement and tenacity, they and everybody else need to say, let's not abuse them. How do we assess a company in a short amount of time without focusing on their financials? When I go into a company, I find out what their meetings are like. If there's no disagreement and they're not exhausted at the end of a meeting, that's a red flag. If good people are leaving an organization, that's a massive red flag. I like going around and checking interactions. Is there an intensity with people together? Or are they alone and quiet? Also, keep an eye on customer reviews. What are the customers saying? There are two extremes of humility problems: arrogance on one end, and lack of confidence on the other. I first identified humility as a problem when I saw a CEO who didn't care about his company's results, but if he went on TV and answered questions about why they didn't meet their numbers, he would make jokes and make others laugh. If he was happy from that versus getting the results they needed, that's an issue. What specific traits do leaders need to have to get hired? A leader has to simultaneously believe they are no more important than the people they lead. They also have to accept the fact that their behaviors and words ARE more important than others in the company. "The one thing the leader has to do is break the tie." This past Friday, I was in a meeting trying to deal with a strategic issue between two great people. I dropped a curse word and said, "Listen, I'm pulling the CEO card right now. I don't do it all that often, but since I am the CEO, this is where we're going." Because I don't pull it every time, people are glad to have a CEO that will do that. If you're doing it every time, you lose credibility. Advice for young professionals: I wrote a book called The Motive, and what I say to leaders when they're young is: make sure your motive for being a leader is about sacrificing and suffering for others. "I want to help this organization, or I want to be the kind of person that takes on more than others for their good." Leadership is a lonely and selfless thing. It's wonderful, but the personal economics of leadership are not good. If you don't sign up for that, don't be a leader. Too many people say, I want to be a leader. And if you really scratch below the surface, they'll say, I think it would make me feel important, I'd get attention, maybe I'd make money, I'd have power. When that's your motive for being a leader, you're not gonna be a great leader. Reflection Questions Pat says people who were perfect students (straight A's, valedictorian, student body president) often have childhood wounds driving them. What in your past might be driving your current achievements? Are you operating from freedom and passion, or from fear and the need to prove yourself? He teaches his kids' sports teams to identify which of Humble, Hungry, or Smart is their lowest, then hold each other accountable when they see teammates struggling with that area. What would you identify as your lowest, and who in your life could you invite to call you out when you're not living up to it? Pat says the motive for leadership should be "sacrificing and suffering for others," not feeling important or controlling what you work on. If you're honest about why you want to lead (or why you currently lead), what's really driving you? Would people who report to you say you're other-motivated or personally motivated?
