Podcasts about uncertain world

Send us Fan MailToday's guest Alan Gregerman wrote the book The Wisdom of Ignorance: Why Not Knowing Can Be the Key to Innovation in an Uncertain World. Often we seek to be the smartest or most knowledgeable person in the room. In this episode, Alan challenges that pursuit and shows us the high value that not being in the know can have on a company and on a team. This discussion changed the way I see new hires and opened my mind to the possibilities and potential that most organizations overlook. Check out Alan's book on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FJJSXVGV Support the show

In this podcast, Greg Voisen sits down with Rosie Ward, Ph.D., author of Future-Proofing Leadership: Navigating Change and Disruption to Thrive in an Uncertain World. Together, they expose the hidden "stuckness zone"—the widening gap between an increasingly chaotic world and the ancient, self-protective biological hardwiring that causes leaders to freeze, panic, or micromanage when disruption hits. Dr. Ward peels back the corporate mask to share a deeply personal look into her own journey, proving that no one is entirely immune to the subtle internal biases that quietly sabotage our best strategic intentions. If you have ever felt completely overwhelmed by rapid organizational shifts or wondered why your team defaults to a state of defensive paralysis when under pressure, this eye-opening conversation is your ultimate invitation to upgrade your inner operating system. By exploring the core human challenges beneath corporate strategies, this episode maps out a practical blueprint for stepping away from fear-based habits and moving confidently into authentic, resilient execution.

As geopolitical tensions rise and sustainability faces growing scrutiny, some long term investors are doubling down instead of pulling back. In this live episode of Sustainable Edge, Siri Sachs of the Wallenberg ecosystem and Johan H. Andresen of FERD explore how resilience, competitiveness, ethics, and sustainability shape investment decisions in a world where uncertainty has become the new normal.In this episodeSiri Sachs and Johan H. Andresen share how family ownership structures can enable long term thinking and why sustainability remains deeply tied to resilience and competitiveness, even in a more fragmented global landscape.Learn about:Long term investing in uncertain times Why some investors continue backing large scale green transitions despite market volatility and political uncertaintySustainability and competitiveness How climate investments are increasingly viewed as essential for future industrial strength and resilienceRisk taking and transformation: Why family owned businesses can take longer term bets that public markets often avoidPurpose beyond profit: How responsibility, social impact, and ethics influence investment decisions and talent attractionEngagement versus exclusion: Why active ownership and supplier engagement can sometimes drive more meaningful change than divestmentAI and ethical leadership: How investors are thinking about the opportunities and risks tied to artificial intelligence and autonomous systemsRegulation and execution: Why predictable frameworks matter, but overregulation can risk slowing competitiveness and innovationThe future of Nordic leadership: How collaboration, trust, and long term ownership models could help shape a more sustainable economyAbout Siri SachsSiri Sachs is a Board Member at Wallenberg Investments and part of the sixth generation of the Wallenberg family. The Wallenberg ecosystem includes foundations, industrial holdings, and global companies such as ABB, AstraZeneca, Ericsson, and SEB. Her work focuses on long term ownership, competitiveness, and ensuring that investments contribute to future resilience and innovation.About Johan H. AndresenJohan H. Andresen is the Owner and Chair of FERD, a family owned investment company focused on long term value creation and social impact.

With an endowment exceeding $14 billion and annual grantmaking of roughly $600 to $700 million, the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation occupies a distinctive position in global philanthropy: large enough to shape conversations, yet intentionally focused on convening expertise, supporting long-term thinking, and backing institutions working on society's most complex challenges. In this episode, Amber Miller, President of the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation, joins Alberto Lidji to discuss how one of the world's leading foundations is approaching artificial intelligence, emerging technologies, and an increasingly uncertain global landscape. The conversation explores how AI is becoming a cross-cutting concern across the foundation's work, spanning climate, democracy, education, public systems, and global development. Rather than treating AI solely as a technological issue, Miller describes efforts to connect traditionally separate areas of expertise, creating new ways to understand both risks and opportunities. A central focus is security. Miller reflects on near-term threats linked to AI and emerging technologies, including vulnerabilities affecting hospitals, energy grids, water systems, transportation networks, and other forms of critical infrastructure. The discussion also examines the convergence of AI with biosynthesis and quantum technologies, including concerns that advances in quantum-enabled decryption could eventually undermine existing encryption systems with implications for public systems, state resilience, and national security. The governance challenge is equally complex. Beyond familiar narratives centered on competition between the United States and China, Miller points to the potential influence of "middle powers" and subnational actors in shaping norms, oversight, and approaches to AI governance. The episode considers who will help guide the future of these technologies: governments, researchers, civil society, universities, industry, philanthropic institutions, and actors operating across borders and sectors. Yet the conversation is far from pessimistic. Miller repeatedly emphasizes that AI is not inherently good or bad, and that its ultimate impact will depend on how societies choose to deploy it. Potential opportunities discussed include: Accelerating breakthroughs in medicine, genomics, and disease treatment Improving efficiency in clean energy systems and supporting climate solutions Enabling more personalized learning and strengthening educational outcomes Expanding productivity, unlocking new forms of work, and augmenting human capability rather than replacing it Drawing on a career spanning astrophysics, university leadership, and science-informed public engagement, Miller offers a perspective shaped by interdisciplinary thinking and a deep interest in solving difficult problems. Throughout the episode, she returns to a recurring theme: humanity is living through a pivotal moment marked by rapid technological advancement, societal polarization, and mounting global challenges, but also extraordinary potential for ingenuity, collaboration, and progress. This is a conversation about AI, philanthropy, governance, and emerging technologies. More fundamentally, it is a conversation about whether institutions can work together to steer powerful innovations toward human flourishing rather than instability.

Teaching for Revelation 2:12-17, by Dr Zach Kilpatrick

As global markets continue reacting to economic and geopolitical uncertainty, resilience and preparedness are becoming a bigger part of the conversation around wealth-building. Investor, author, and educator Mike Maloney is widely known for his work in precious metals and for breaking down long-term cycles of money, debt, and economic history in a way that connects big-picture trends to everyday decisions. In this episode, Robert Helms connects with Mike in Puerto Rico for a deep dive into what it means to build a true "Plan B" in today's environment. Listen in for a wide-ranging discussion that moves from global financial systems into real-world applications ... including land, food production, energy independence, and the role of community in creating stability when systems are under stress.

"There's an inherent danger that we lapse into just being operational." - Greg RidderGreg Ridder, Chair of Kogan.com, Life Without Barriers and Bridge It, and Director of the PNG Sustainable Development Program, discusses how to build board forward plans that add real value when the planning environment keeps shifting.Greg explains why the drift from strategic thinking into pure operational focus is a genuine governance risk — and what distinguishes a planning process that keeps the board looking beyond the horizon from one that just manages what's immediately in front of it. He shares what he actually asks company secretaries to put together for the coming 12 months, how he structures the board cycle to ensure major decisions don't arrive as fully-formed proposals, and why the most useful thing a company secretary can do when forward planning feels futile is pay attention to the quality of their relationship with the chair.________________Follow Podcast Host ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Richard Conway⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ on LinkedInFollow ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠boardcycle⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ on LinkedInVisit the ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠boardcycle website

Are you searching for peace in a world that feels uncertain?Everywhere we look there seems to be fear, division, bad news, and questions about what tomorrow holds. But what if real hope isn't found in having all the answers… but in knowing the One who does?Join us as we open God's Word and talk about: “How Christians Live in Uncertain Times”We'll look at what Jesus said about fear, uncertainty, and hope—and how we can stand firm even when life feels shaky.At New Promise Church you will see people of all ages, from a variety of backgrounds, and at different stages of their spiritual journey. We desire to draw closer to Jesus by understanding who He is and what He has done for us.

Episode OverviewIn this episode of The Uncertainty Edge, host Sam Sivarajan sits down with George Pillari — healthcare executive, crisis management specialist, and author of The Seven Deadly Stupidities — for a candid conversation on leading through crisis.George has spent decades navigating high-stakes turnarounds, managing billion-dollar stakeholder negotiations, and dissecting business failures through his blog, The Voice Behind the Cautionary. He shares hard-won lessons on transparency, the patterns behind high-profile failures, managing with incomplete information, and why job security is a myth every professional must confront.Key Quote“There is no job security. Zero.” — George PillariKey TakeawaysTransparency is the #1 crisis tool — open communication with all stakeholders defuses tension faster than anything else.Lenders are partners, not adversaries. Treating them as allies changes the entire dynamic of a turnaround.Great crisis leaders listen more than they speak. They prompt questions, hear from everyone, and resist the urge to dictate.Job security is a myth. Spend an hour a week exploring the market — not to find a new job, but to stay sharp and aware.Second-order thinking is essential. Before acting, ask: what's the worst that can happen, and can I live with it?Sound Bites“There is no job security. Zero.”“You have to stay current.”“AI is going to change things.”“Incomplete information equals risk.”“You've got to make friends with the ‘bad guys' — because there shouldn't be any bad guys.”Topics Discussed00:00 — Introduction to Crisis Management and Leadership01:33 — George Pillari's Journey: From Healthcare Economics to Crisis Management07:59 — The Importance of Transparency in High-Stakes Negotiations26:47 — Navigating Accountability: Profiles of Greed and High-Profile Failures39:18 — Job Security in an Uncertain World — and What to Do About ItResources MentionedGeorge Pillari's Resources:Blog: thecautionary.comEmail: gp@stupid.blogBook: The Seven Deadly Stupidities by George PillariReferenced: The Secret Race by Tyler HamiltonStay Connected with The Uncertainty EdgeSubscribe on your favourite podcast platform to never miss an episode.Join the conversation on LinkedIn — share your thoughts and connect with other forward-thinking leaders: linkedin.com/in/samsivarajanExplore more insights on Sam's website: samsivarajan.com

Explore resources, books, and conversations that help you reparent your inner child, build emotional resilience, and create a life rooted in wholeness and abundance. Explore More Resources Why Reparenting the Inner Child Matters Now More Than Ever In this deeply moving episode, Dr. LePera explores the concept of the “inner child” — the emotional self formed through early experiences, conditioning, relationships, and survival patterns. She explains how unresolved childhood wounds often shape adult behaviors, financial habits, relationships, self-worth, stress responses, and even our ability to experience joy and peace. The discussion powerfully aligns with the foundational principles of Holistic Wealth — the globally recognized framework created by Keisha Blair that emphasizes wealth beyond money alone, encompassing emotional, mental, physical, spiritual, relational, and financial well-being. Throughout the episode, listeners are reminded that healing is not a luxury — it is essential infrastructure for a resilient life. The Defining Question: What Does “Resilient Wealth” Mean? One of the most compelling moments in the episode comes when Keisha Blair asks Dr. LePera: “What does Resilient Wealth mean to you in light of the Global Holistic Wealth Month theme?” Dr. LePera's response reframes wealth in a profoundly human way. Rather than measuring wealth solely through accumulation or external success, she speaks about the ability to remain grounded, emotionally regulated, adaptable, and connected to self during periods of uncertainty and disruption. True wealth is the capacity to sustain well-being through change. In a world marked by economic instability, burnout, chronic stress, emotional exhaustion, and rising anxiety, the conversation becomes larger than psychology alone. It becomes a roadmap for modern resilience. Healing as a Form of Wealth One of the most transformative themes in the episode is the idea that healing itself is a form of wealth. For years, society has separated emotional wellness from conversations about success, prosperity, and achievement. But this episode challenges that outdated model directly. Keisha Blair and Dr. LePera discuss how unhealed emotional patterns can silently impact financial decision-making, burnout cycles, relationship dynamics, productivity, nervous system regulation, self-sabotage, and long-term health. By reconnecting with and “reparenting” the inner child, individuals can begin building lives rooted not in survival, but in intentionality, peace, alignment, and resilience. A Global Conversation on Modern Well-Being As the founder of Global Holistic Wealth Day and Global Holistic Wealth Month, Keisha Blair continues to lead an international movement redefining what prosperity looks like in the modern world. This episode with Dr. Nicole LePera expands that conversation even further by bridging psychology, nervous system healing, emotional resilience, and sustainable well-being. Together, they explore a future where resilience is not about “pushing through” exhaustion, but about building internal systems strong enough to support peace, healing, adaptability, and authentic living. Why This Episode Resonates So Deeply What makes this episode particularly powerful is its honesty. There are no unrealistic promises of perfection. Instead, listeners are invited into a compassionate conversation about becoming aware of inherited patterns, reconnecting with the self, and building lives that are emotionally sustainable. The episode serves as a reminder that resilience is built internally, emotional healing is foundational, and the most meaningful form of wealth may ultimately be inner peace. Listen to the Episode The latest episode of the Holistic Wealth Podcast featuring Dr. Nicole LePera is now available. It is a must-listen conversation for anyone interested in emotional healing, nervous system wellness, resilience, personal growth, mental health, sustainable success, and building true Holistic Wealth in uncertain times.

Economic headlines can rattle our confidence. Markets fluctuate, layoffs make news, and inflation or recession fears can create a sense of instability. When uncertainty rises, fear often follows—and fear can drive financial decisions we later regret. But while the economy changes, God's wisdom does not. Scripture offers steady guidance that helps us respond with clarity instead of anxiety.  In today's conversation, financial teacher, author, and co-founder of Kingdom Advisors, Ron Blue, shared with us timeless principles for navigating uncertain times with confidence rooted in the Lord. Why Financial Uncertainty Creates Anxiety According to Ron Blue, much of our financial stress comes down to one word: uncertainty. When people feel like circumstances are outside their control, anxiety often increases. Daily headlines about markets, job losses, or global instability can make us feel like something urgent must be done immediately. That pressure can lead to emotional rather than wise decision-making. Rather than acting from fear, believers are invited to remember that while circumstances may shift, God remains faithful. As Scripture reminds us: “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.” (Hebrews 13:8) One of the greatest ways to reduce fear is to have a plan. Without a plan, every headline can push us into reaction mode. We may feel tempted to sell investments too quickly, take on debt to maintain our lifestyle, or abandon long-term goals because of short-term concerns. But when we follow wise, biblical principles, we gain perspective. We can step back, think clearly, and make decisions based on truth rather than emotion. A plan does not remove every challenge, but it provides direction when emotions run high. Four Timeless Financial Principles Ron Blue highlighted four foundational principles that remain effective in both strong economies and difficult ones. 1. Think Long Term Financial decisions should be guided by long-term goals, not short-term fear. Temporary headlines should not determine permanent strategies. Patience and perspective are essential parts of wise stewardship. 2. Spend Less Than You Earn This is one of the most foundational financial principles. Living below your means creates margin, flexibility, and peace. When income exceeds spending, you are better positioned to save, give, and prepare for future needs. 3. Build Emergency Savings Unexpected expenses are not a matter of if, but when. An emergency fund creates liquidity when life brings surprises. Even small, consistent savings can provide stability over time. 4. Minimize Debt Debt increases financial risk by committing future income to past decisions. It can reduce flexibility and add pressure during already stressful seasons. While not all debt is the same, reducing unnecessary debt is often a wise step toward greater freedom. A Practical Step You Can Take This Week If you feel unsettled financially, start with a simple financial checkup: Review what you earn Review what you spend Determine whether you are living within your means Identify one area to reduce spending Begin or grow an emergency fund Start small if needed. Small steps often create momentum, and momentum builds confidence. It's similar to using a roadmap or GPS. When you know where you're going and how you plan to get there, the journey feels less overwhelming. Every generation has faced seasons of fear and uncertainty. Economic downturns, wars, political unrest, and personal hardship have always been part of life in a fallen world. What changes are the circumstances. What remains constant is God's truth. His Word is still trustworthy, still relevant, and still sufficient for the challenges we face today. Where Trust Ultimately Rests A biblical view of money does more than change what we do—it transforms how we think and ultimately who we trust. Financial security is never found merely in markets, savings accounts, or headlines. True security is found in the Lord, who is our provider and guide in every season. When uncertainty comes, wise stewardship matters. But even more than that, so does remembering that our hope has never rested in the economy. It has always rested in God. On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions: I'm 60 and planning to refinance my mortgage this summer. I'd like to honor God with my finances. Is there a biblically based or faith-aligned mortgage company I can refinance with, and how would I find one? My wife and I are both self-employed, but after taking on loans to grow her business, we're overwhelmed with debt. Bills are piling up, my credit is suffering, and we're trying to support seven kids at home. Should we consider bankruptcy, or is there a better path to stabilize our finances and get out of debt? My wife and I just lost our 26-year-old son, who lived with us. He didn't have a will, and we're waiting on corrected death certificates. He also had a life insurance policy naming my wife as beneficiary. How many death certificates should we request, and what steps should we take to settle his affairs, accounts, and any debts?

What does it actually mean to create certainty in a world that feels increasingly unstable?In this episode of the Hire Yourself Podcast, Pete Gilfillan explores the growing sense of uncertainty many professionals are facing—from economic volatility and corporate restructuring to the rapid rise of AI—and why traditional career paths may no longer offer the stability they once did.Drawing from his own experience as a former corporate executive, Pete shares the pivotal moment that forced him to rethink control over his future, and how that led him into business ownership through franchising.This episode breaks down a critical shift in perspective: certainty doesn't come from external stability—it comes from control. And for many, that requires moving away from corporate dependency and toward ownership.Pete outlines the strategic reasoning behind investing in essential, needs-based businesses, industries that maintain consistent demand regardless of economic conditions. These include sectors like restoration, HVAC, senior care, and property maintenance—businesses built around solving real, ongoing problems.Key themes explored in this episode include:Why corporate “security” can change overnight, regardless of performanceThe difference between perceived stability and actual controlHow essential service businesses create more predictable demandWhy franchise ownership reduces guesswork through proven systemsThe distinction between risk and strategic positioningHow to think differently about long-term career and income stabilityA central takeaway is that uncertainty is not temporary—it's structural. The individuals who navigate it best are those who intentionally position themselves in environments they can control.If you're questioning the stability of your current path or looking for a more strategic approach to your future, this episode offers a clear framework for thinking about certainty, control, and business ownership.CONNECT WITH PETE GILFILLAN:

Welcome to Strategy Skills episode 361, an interview with the author of Building Trust: Exceptional Leadership in an Uncertain World, Darryl Stickel. In his book, Darryl outlines his groundbreaking Trust Unlimited blueprint for building trust. Stickel moves away from the traditional approach of influencing people's willingness to trust—the con artist's tactic—to employing one or more of ten levers, which leaders can "pull" to close the gap between how much they are trusted and how much they should be. This approach also makes them more trustable and increases trust where it is deficient. Darryl Stickel is one of the world's leading experts on trust with over twenty years of experience. His Ph.D. ¨Building Trust in Hostile Environments¨ from Duke University established him as a global leader for governments, businesses and NGOs on practical approaches to building trust.  Darryl has worked for Mckinsey & Company in their Toronto office, as well as advised the Canadian Military on trust building in Afghanistan. He has served as faculty for the Luxembourg School of Business and the Center for Effective Organizations at the University of Southern California and recently completed his book Building Trust: Exceptional Leadership in an Uncertain World. His contribution to the field of trust has been recognized by his nomination to the Top Thought Leaders on Trust by Trust Across America; Trust Around the World.

A Complete GuideResilient Wealth is the ability to build, protect and adapt your income, assets, and financial systems in times of uncertainty – focusing on diversification, multiple income streams and financial flexibility so you can withstand economic shocks. Holistic Wealth (coined by Keisha Blair), is a comprehensive approach to wealth that goes beyond money to include financial, emotional, mental, physical, spiritual and relational well-being in addition to purpose and meaning in life. Resilient Wealth is a core concept with Holistic Wealth – the Mother Framework – providing the financial strength and adaptability needed to sustain and support every other dimension of a truly balanced, thriving life.Resilient Wealth vs Holistic Wealth: The Critical DifferenceResilient WealthHolistic WealthFocuses on financial diversificationIntegrates all dimensions of lifeProtects against external shocksCreates internal and external stabilityMultiple income streamsMultiple forms of wealth (financial, emotional, social)Risk managementLife design and resilienceSurvival-focusedSustainability and fulfillment Topic:Resilient Wealth vs Holistic Wealth: The Meaning of Ecclesiastes 11:2 and Why You Need 7–8 Income Streams TUNE IN: APPLE PODCASTS | SPOTIFY | STITCHER A 3,000-Year-Old Wealth Strategy That Still Outperforms Modern FinanceWhat if one of the most advanced wealth strategies in the world was written over 3,000 years ago? In Ecclesiastes 11:2, we read:“Invest in seven ventures, yes, in eight, for you do not know what disaster may come upon the land.” At first glance, this sounds like simple advice about diversification. When examined closely—through the lens of modern economics, global instability, and the Holistic Wealth Framework—this verse reveals something far more powerful:A blueprint for Resilient Wealth in an uncertain world.And yet, Solomon's life reveals an even deeper truth:Resilient Wealth alone is not enough.The Context Most People Miss: Solomon's Existential CrisisTo understand Ecclesiastes 11:2, we must first understand the mindset of its author. Solomon was not writing from a place of aspiration. He was writing from disillusionment. He had already achieved what most people are striving for today:Extraordinary financial wealthGlobal influence and trade networksIntellectual mastery and recognitionPolitical and economic powerAnd yet, throughout Ecclesiastes, he repeats a striking phrase:“Meaningless, meaningless, everything is meaningless.” This is not a rejection of wealth. It is a recognition of its limits. Solomon had discovered something that modern finance still struggles to address:Wealth without resilience is fragile.But even resilient wealth, on its own, is incomplete.Ecclesiastes 11:2 Explained: The First Model of Resilient WealthWhen Solomon writes:“Invest in seven ventures, yes, in eight…”. He is not speaking theoretically. He is speaking from experience. Historical and biblical accounts show that Solomon operated one of the most diversified economic systems in history. His “ventures” included:Governance and taxation systemsInfrastructure and real estate developmentGlobal trade and commerce networksShipping and logistics fleetsAgricultural and resource productionPrecious metals and treasury reservesStrategic alliances and diplomacyIntellectual capital and influenceThis was not just diversification. It was layered resilience. Each “venture” served as a buffer against uncertainty—exactly as the verse warns:“…you do not know what disaster may come upon the land.”This is the essence of Resilient Wealth:Multiple income streamsDiversified assetsReduced exposure to single points of failureWhy Resilient Wealth Was Not Enough for SolomonHere is the critical insight that changes everything:Solomon already had Resilient Wealth.He had:Multiple streams of incomeGlobal diversificationStrategic alliancesAsset accumulation at scaleAnd yet—he still experienced a profound existential crisis. Why? Because his challenge was not purely financial. It was human. He confronted:The limits of controlThe inevitability of time and mortalityThe fragility of legacyThe absence of enduring meaningThis reveals a fundamental gap in traditional wealth thinking:Resilient Wealth solves external risk.But it does not solve internal instability.Holistic Wealth: The Missing FrameworkThis is where Holistic Wealth becomes essential. The Holistic Wealth Framework expands the definition of wealth beyond money and assets to include the full spectrum of human well-being and stability. While Resilient Wealth focuses on:Income diversificationFinancial protectionEconomic survivalHolistic Wealth includes:Mental and emotional resiliencePurpose and meaningPhysical well-beingSocial and relational capitalTime and lifestyle designFinancial security and independenceIn Solomon's case, the missing piece was not more wealth.

The post Resilient Wealth vs Holistic Wealth: The Meaning of Ecclesiastes 11:2 and Why You Need 7–8 Income Streams appeared first on Holistic Wealth Courses.

In this episode of the Holistic Wealth Podcast, we break down Resilient Wealth vs Holistic Wealth through the powerful lens of Ecclesiastes 11:2, revealing why building 7-8 income streams is not just biblical wisdom – but a modern strategy for thriving in uncertainty. This year's theme for Global Holistic Wealth Day is “Resilient Wealth in an Uncertain World”, and given the level of global economic fallout, building sustainable future-proof Holistic Wealth that endures is critical. “Invest in seven ventures, yes, in eight, for you do not know what disaster may come upon the land. If clouds are full of water, they pour rain on the earth. Whether a tree falls to the south or to the north, in the place where it falls, there will it lie” – Ecclesiastes 11:2-3, New International Version Resources Used in This Episode:Ecclesiastes 11:2-3 (New International Version)Holistic Wealth (Expanded and Updated): 36 Life Lessons To Help You Recover From Disruption, Find Your Life Purpose and Achieve Financial FreedomHolistic Wealth Personal Workbook by Keisha BlairThe Certified Holistic Wealth Consultant Program What is Resilient Wealth vs Holistic Wealth? A Complete GuideResilient Wealth is the ability to build, protect and adapt your income, assets, and financial systems in times of uncertainty – focusing on diversification, multiple income streams and financial flexibility so you can withstand economic shocks. Holistic Wealth (coined by Keisha Blair), is a comprehensive approach to wealth that goes beyond money to include financial, emotional, mental, physical, spiritual and relational well-being in addition to purpose and meaning in life. Resilient Wealth is a core concept with Holistic Wealth - the Mother Framework – providing the financial strength and adaptability needed to sustain and support every other dimension of a truly balanced, thriving life.

Claude AnShin Thomas - Zen Buddhist monk, combat veteran, and author - responds to questions in an inspiring manner based on his Zen practice and life experiences. He reminds the listener how to stay awake to life and understand more deeply the traps of a deluded mind. This episode was recorded during a weekly online meeting of questions & responses. For more information: https://www.zaltho.org If you want to ask Claude AnShin Thomas a question, please feel free to write to info@zaltho.org. Book recommendations:https://www.zaltho.org/books/ To support our efforts, please donate. If you are interested in a specific question, this is the list of questions that Claude AnShin responded to and the time stamps for those questions so that you can go directly to the topic that is of most interest to you. Questions and Time Stamps: 1:15 In what way is it important for you not to take yourself too seriously? 5:39 When I am deeply concentrated, I sometimes lose awareness of my body. How can I best work with this 8:28 Would you recommend preparing for war or a breakdown of infrastructure? If so, what would you suggest doing? 12:22 Have you ever researched near-death experiences 14:09 Would you share your perspective on parenting 18:22 I once heard from someone working in hospice that life is never more vibrant than in places where people are dying. What has been your experience? 20:40 Have you ever had a supernatural experience? 22:03 My previous question referred to your experience accompanying others while they were dying. Could you speak more about that? 25:43 What can I do with this feeling of pain in my chest when facing disease, decay, death, and ultimately saying goodbye? 30:48 How do you work with feelings of resentment and cultivate compassion for those who cause suffering and destruction on a large scale? 35:37 In the Heart Sutra it states, "no suffering, no cause, and no end to suffering." Does this contradict the Four Noble Truths? 40:42 In your experience, is it easier to live your commitments openly as you grow older than it was when you were younger?

Logan Holloman | Next Gen Pastor | March 1, 2026 Referenced Scripture: Matthew 28:20, Luke 12:13-34, Exodus 16:16-20, Luke 11:2-4, 1 Timothy 6:6-19, Luke 16:13-15 Reflection Questions:1. In what ways am I choosing to depend on God's generosity for my felt need? And in what ways am I restricting God's generosity by my own self sufficiency? 2. Is the way I relate to money more reflective to the American economy or God's economy? What is one step, just one practical change, that I can make to live more generously in my relationship to money and possessions. 3. Stay committed to developing a personal rhythm of confession. Begin giving attention to what this practice of confession could look like in your everyday life, and let it lead you into greater freedom, honesty and forgiveness. 4. Choose generosity to counteract greed. Greed is taking more than we need for ourselves, regardless of how that affects others. This week consider where you can be generous. Ask yourself: What do I have more than enough of? And who could I share it with? What's your next step? * Connect: We'd love to connect with you!

In this episode of The Impostor Syndrome Files, we explore a counterintuitive but empowering idea: what if not knowing something is not a weakness but an advantage? My guest this week is Alan Gregerman, innovation consultant and author of The Wisdom of Ignorance. He invites us to rethink impostor syndrome by viewing not knowing as the very thing that fuels creativity, innovative thinking and meaningful change.Alan argues that breakthroughs are far more likely when we approach problems with humility, curiosity and a willingness to see the world with new eyes. He encourages his clients to leave the office, explore the world and pay attention to what they see. Alan shares how changing environments expands our thinking, how teams can benefit from “enlightened ignorance” and why leaders who model humility unlock more creativity and engagement in others.About My GuestAlan Gregerman is an internationally renowned authority on business strategy, innovation, and the hidden potential of grownups who has been called “one of the most original thinkers in business today” and “the Robin Williams of business consulting.” As the president and chief innovation officer of Washington, D.C.-based consultancy VENTURE WORKS, a best-selling author, sought-after keynote speaker, and community volunteer he focuses on helping companies and organizations unlock the genius in all of their people in order to deliver the most compelling value to their customers.

The world feels heavy right now.  If you've been feeling tired,uncertain, or a little behind—you're not alone.  In this episode, I talk about staying human in uncertain times: slowingdown, listening deeply, and choosing connection when everything feels loud. It's not about fixing the world—it's about grounding ourselves and each other.  Take a breath. Press play. And if it resonates, share it with someone who could use a reminder that being human still matters.  Wisdom with Charlie Perkins Podcast is available on all major platforms. 

Flexible Leadership: Why Rigid Leaders Fail in an Uncertain World The world has changed. Leadership has to change with it. In this episode, I'm joined by Kevin Eikenberry, one of the most influential leadership thinkers today and author of Flexible Leadership: Navigate Uncertainty and Lead with Confidence. We unpack why the leadership approaches that worked in the past often break down in today's complex, fast-moving environment. Kevin explains why great leaders must stay consistent in values but flexible in how they lead, and why treating every challenge as a crisis leads to bad decisions. We dive into real-world examples, including when command-and-control leadership works, when it fails, and how context should drive your leadership approach. We also explore: Why “leadership style” can become a trap The difference between complicated, complex, and chaotic situations How flexible leaders improve their odds without losing trust Why mindset matters more than tools or techniques How habits, not intentions, determine leadership effectiveness If you're leading people through uncertainty, change, or growth, this conversation will challenge how you think about leadership and give you a better way forward.

In this episode of Partnering Leadership, Mahan Tavakoli is joined by Alan Gregerman, innovation advisor and author of The Wisdom of Ignorance: Why Not Knowing Can Be the Key to Innovation in an Uncertain World. Gregerman has spent his career helping organizations rethink what expertise is, how innovation really happens, and why the answers leaders rely on can quietly become their biggest obstacles.Alan's core argument is simple but uncomfortable: what leaders don't know matters more than what they do know. In a world defined by rapid change, shifting customer expectations, and new competitors emerging from outside traditional industry boundaries, Gregerman makes the case that uncertainty isn't a threat to manage—it's an advantage to use. Leaders who cling to knowledge, certainty, and past success miss the breakthroughs that come from curiosity, humility, and fresh eyes.Throughout the conversation, Alan shows how relying on expertise alone limits an organization's ability to see new possibilities. He highlights why new employees, outsiders, and even strangers to the industry often spot the best opportunities, and he shares a practical onboarding practice for tapping into those insights before they disappear. His message: innovation doesn't come from doubling down on what you already know; it comes from intentionally opening the boundaries of where ideas can come from.The episode also explores why most industries are disrupted by people who have no history in them, the discipline required to stay relevant, and the role of small experiments in uncovering what customers actually value. Alan connects all of this to the rise of AI, arguing that if the work is rooted in routine knowledge, machines will do it faster—and leaders must elevate imagination, sensemaking, and dot-connecting to stay ahead.For CEOs and senior executives looking to build organizations that remain adaptable, curious, and competitive, this conversation offers a sharp, practical lens on what real innovation leadership looks like today.Actionable Takeaways• You'll learn why Alan believes not knowing can be a strategic advantage—and how leaders can use uncertainty to fuel innovation.• You'll hear how new employees reveal blind spots organizations no longer notice, and a simple onboarding practice that turns their insights into value.• You'll learn why most disruption comes from outsiders—and what that means for your planning, competitive scanning, and leadership mindset.• You'll hear how small, fast experiments outperform polished plans, especially when customer needs shift faster than internal decision cycles.• You'll learn how to widen your sources of insight by looking beyond your industry—and why this practice separates resilient organizations from stuck ones.• You'll hear how to hire for perspective, not just expertise, and build teams capable of seeing opportunities others overlook.• You'll learn why AI elevates the importance of imagination, creativity, and sensemaking—and what kinds of work will remain uniquely human.• You'll hear how humility shifts a leader's impact, creating space for ideas that wouldn't emerge if the team assumed the leader already knows the answer.Connect with Alan GregermanAlan Gregerman WebsiteAlan Gregerman LinkedInConnect with Mahan Tavakoli: Mahan Tavakoli Website Mahan Tavakoli on LinkedIn Partnering Leadership Website
