In this inspiring conversation, Lori Mayberry, Executive Director of Get Out the Vote PAC, shares her unexpected journey from working behind the scenes as an operations manager to becoming the public face of a growing political organization. Lori explains how the passing of her business partner and the organization's founder, Steve, pushed her into a leadership role that required her to learn fundraising, politics, communication, and organizational leadership along the way. She also discusses how her own experience as someone who once had many questions about politics shaped the way she communicates with voters. From voter outreach and education to fundraising and building recurring donor support, Lori explains how her organization uses targeted communication, texting, phone calls, and digital advertising to help people understand elections and participate in the voting process. Lori also reflects on the organization's grassroots beginnings, its growth, and the impact of strategic voter outreach and donor support. She shares lessons from her experience supporting races in Virginia, the importance of building relationships and coalitions, and the many ways people can contribute beyond making a financial donation. At the heart of the conversation is the idea of an empowered woman as someone who is willing to learn, grow, step outside what she already knows, and take on challenges even when they feel unfamiliar. Lori's story is a powerful reminder that leadership and empowerment can come from being willing to dig in, learn something new, and grow into the role that life places in front of you.

Heidi is recovering from surgery and while she is resting, we decided to replay an old episode from October 2022 when Heidi interviewed Ellen. Since October 10th is Ellen's 75th birthday (she is as shocked as you are!), what better way to celebrate her than looking back on the unexpected paths of her life. If you want to know more about Libra transits, tune into Luminosity (only $24/month!) on October 5th at 6pm Pacific to listen to the Monthly Cosmic Cycle with Bruna Maia. We will be back for Scorpio season with announcements of great happenings this fall and winter!! Get well soon Heidi!! We are all sending you lots of love. Ep 89 Unexpected Paths - Heidi Interviews Ellen This week, Heidi and Ellen switch things around when Heidi interviews Ellen. Ellen began her career as an attorney specializing in death penalty cases. After practicing law for 17 years, she reinvented her career and launched her first business, a bakery, followed by a garden and floral design company. She's also the co-founder and former director of MEarth, a 10-acre environmental education learning center that served 2,500 students each year. Ellen is a certified Designing Your Life coach and certified Wild Writing™ instructor. Typically clients hire her when they want something really bad...but..they're feeling overwhelmed about how to make it happen. Through her private coaching, Ellen helps her clients set goals, get unstuck, and get things moving. She offers Chart Your Career sessions in collaboration with Heidi and they are the co-hosts of the podcast Chart Your Career. Ellen loves having deep conversations about the process of building a meaningful life and career. But nothing makes her happier than Sunday night dinners with her family.

When we think about becoming better at what we do, I think our brains naturally go to MORE. More experience. More clients. More training. More skills. Another course. Another qualification. Maybe another 47 hours spent learning something everybody else on Instagram apparently already knows

Hello to you listening wherever your feet touch the ground. Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with Wednesdays on Whidbey and your host, Diane Wyzga. Everywhere in the world women are living their lives unrecorded. What's up with that? What's the use of unrecorded lives? What are we afraid will happen if we put pen to paper to set down one memory moment of our lived experience? If we had the courage to venture into the depth of inquiry that guides a nice essay to a memorable story, what unexpected magic, freedom, or self-understanding might happen next? The depth of inquiry into our personal narratives moves even the best essays away from a nice recounting of facts and events and what happened to what did it all mean? There's more to your story than facts and events. Our stories become memorable when we deeply explore our lived experience, become curious about our motivations, what was at stake, the choices we made, the risks we took, and then reflect on how those experiences earned us a hard-won lesson. To get started recording a lived memory moment experience you recall—maybe the first job you ever had or the first time you stood up for yourself—set down the time, place and setting of the facts and events as you remember them. Next, capture highlights of the character (that would be you), who she was, how she was living her life, and why we might care about her. What was the event that upended her daily routine and set her up to want something different for herself? What was the problem that got in the way of what she wanted and how did she overcome it? Now we're embarking on the depth of inquiry. We focus our attention on the character's underlying emotions, feelings, fears, doubts, struggles, and values. These personal truths help us understand the meaning of what has happened when her routine was upended, what was at stake for her, and why she chooses to do what she does to get what she so keenly desires, come what may. When we dig deep into our lived experiences by asking difficult questions, refusing to accept our initial reactions, and allowing the story to lead us, we transform surface answers into self-awareness, self-understanding, and self-affirmation. With this first step we have begun to live a recorded life. What was the experience like for you? What is your next story?

Este episodio lo pensé originalmente como un espejo del artículo "Unexpected reveals about Mexico's role in the global expansion of agave" escrito por Joahna Hernández. Pero ya metidos en la plática y en lo mucho que hay decir acerca del maguey, el México amplio y los muchos posibles futuros, ya no estoy tan seguro de que hayamos logrado un espejo perfecto, sino más como una imágen que se acerca y se aleja del artículo original. Espero disfruten este episodio tanto como yo disfrute esta plática y si llegan a pasar por el Zócalo, vengan a @desiertosyvolcanes para compartir un poquito de cacao, mezcales y miel.

Hello Brave Friends! This is an Ask Us Anything episode in which YOU, the listener, get to write or call in and, you guessed it, ask us anything!In this Ask Us Anything episode, #266, we're responding to the question:“I can speak for a lot of us moms out here. We are stretched to capacity, stretched so thin, and have no margin for anything unexpected. And yet the unexpected is inevitable. Help!”Jessica Patay, Susanna Peace Lovell, and Dr. Zoe are talking about capacity—what it actually means, how we know when we've reached ours, and why caregiving moms so often find themselves living with absolutely nothing left in reserve.Together, they unpack the difference between capacity and margin: capacity is the limit of what we can handle, while margin is the space we leave between our daily load and that limit. And for caregivers, that margin can disappear quickly. Between parenting, appointments, work, household responsibilities, relationships, advocacy, and the endless mental load, overwhelm can start to feel like the default.Jessica, Susanna, and Dr. Zoe get honest about the expectations women and mothers place on themselves, people pleasing, overachieving, and the pressure to prove our worth through how much we can accomplish. They challenge the idea that being a loving, devoted caregiver means endlessly sacrificing yourself—and offer the important reminder that your capacity is not a measure of your devotion.They also share practical ways they've learned to protect their own capacity: creating personal rules and boundaries, questioning the things we tell ourselves we “have to” do, being more intentional about our yeses, letting messages wait, and recognizing that not everything on our plates carries the same emotional weight.Sometimes creating margin means asking yourself a deceptively simple question: Do I actually have to do this?And yes, setting boundaries can feel scary. People may be disappointed. We may fear judgment or rejection. But the people who truly love and support us can respect our boundaries—and what initially feels frightening may ultimately create freedom.This conversation is your permission to pause, take inventory of everything you're carrying, and consider what you might be able to put down.Keep the vulnerable questions coming.

On this episode, I am joined by SoCal based ultra trail runner, outdoor adventurer, and trail running mentor Daisy Martinez, aka Elements of Daisy, who returns to the Just Trek Podcast nearly six years after her first appearance.We catch up on Daisy's journey over the past several years and the challenges that forced her to rebuild her strength, endurance, and confidence - ultimately leading to one of her biggest adventures yet: solo trail running the 72 mile High Sierra Trail from Whitney Portal to Crescent Meadow.Daisy takes us inside the journey, from summiting Mount Whitney to pushing deep into the Sierra backcountry for approximately 42 hours with no sleep. We talk about the highs and lows, sleep deprivation and hallucinations, nutrition and gear, wildlife encounters, trail angels, and the moments that tested her both physically and mentally.Beyond the miles, Daisy reflects on resilience, trusting herself, and continuing to chase those "big crazy dreams" while we still have the opportunity to do them. This conversation is filled with adventure, inspiration, and one seriously wild journey across the High Sierra.Follow Daisy on https://www.instagram.com/elementsofdaisyWork with Daisy & Get Resources:https://v2.stan.store/elementsofdaisyFollow Just Trek on Instagram @just.trekShop Just Trek merch on JustTrek.net/shopBecome a Just Trek Patron member on PatreonListen to more podcast episodes on JustTrek.netWant to send me a message?

Unexpected time away from your business can create more than a scheduling problem.

Klickstein is a physician-scientist who has spent more than 20 years at the intersection of drug discovery, healthy aging, and preventive medicine. Drawing on his experience in academic medicine, translational research, and biotechnology, Lloyd walks through the full arc of modern drug development. He explains how scientists identify an unmet medical need and decide which diseases and therapeutic targets are worth pursuing. From there, he takes us through the process of engineering a drug, testing it in animals, and navigating clinical trials and regulatory approval. Using bimagrumab as a case study, Lloyd explains the rationale for targeting myostatin and activin signaling to increase muscle mass and strength and describes how the antibody was engineered and screened. He then walks through what was learned from early clinical trials. Unexpected effects on fat mass and type 2 diabetes helped reshape bimagrumab's development as a potential treatment for obesity, including its use in combination with semaglutide. Along the way, Peter and Lloyd explore the differences among drug modalities, including biologics and small-molecule therapeutics. They discuss the roles of patents and capital allocation in drug development, along with the requirements for IND submission and GMP manufacturing. They also examine why developing a new drug takes so long and costs so much, and why identifying failures early is critical. At the end of the episode, the conversation turns to mTOR inhibition and geroprotection, as well as Lloyd's current work on a novel pharmacologic approach to cancer prevention. This episode provides a rare behind-the-scenes look at how new medicines are actually created and the scientific, regulatory, and economic decisions that determine which ideas ultimately make it to patients. We discuss: Lloyd's path from academic medicine to translational drug development [3:15]; Drug modalities, patents, and the economics of innovation [11:30]; Choosing sarcopenia as a target for drug development, and confronting the problem of measuring falls [23:00]; The rationale for bimagrumab: improving muscle mass and strength by targeting myostatin and activin signaling (and why follistatin failed) [36:45]; Engineering and screening the bimagrumab antibody, and the cost of developing a new drug [43:45]; From candidate antibodies to animal proof of concept (impressive muscle hypertrophy) [54:15]; Toxicology, capital allocation, and the path to an IND [1:02:45]; IND requirements, GMP manufacturing, and gray market peptides [1:14:45]; First in-human study design, patient selection, and protection of healthy volunteers [1:22:00]; Phase 1 dosing, pharmacodynamics, and global trial strategy [1:33:45]; Phase 2 lessons on muscle mass, function, and nutrition [1:43:30]; Bimagrumab's effects on fat mass and type 2 diabetes [1:50:45]; The BELIEVE trial of bimagrumab plus semaglutide [1:59:30]; Selective mTORC1 inhibition and the challenge of testing geroprotection [2:11:45]; A new pharmacologic approach to cancer prevention [2:15:45]; and More.

BEAUTY BEYOND BETRAYAL - Heal from Betrayal, Affair Recovery, Betrayal Trauma Recovery
It's been almost four weeks since I've been behind the microphone—and today, I'm finally back. What started with bronchitis turned into laryngitis, and just as I thought I was beginning to recover, I developed shingles.

Most people assume optimization is always an advantage. But when you optimize too heavily for one outcome, you can sacrifice the flexibility you need when conditions change. The perfect system today can become a weakness tomorrow. In this masterclass, I break down the hidden trade-offs behind optimization, why over-optimization reduces adaptability, and why high performers leave room for the unexpected. The goal isn't to become perfectly efficient. It's to remain effective no matter what changes around you.

Send us Fan MailToday I'm joined by Shannon Presson — author of The Unexpected Story, which includes a healing fable called "Lumina's Journey" and a reader guide called the Dragonfly Path. Shannon spent 20 years as a corporate event planner before a disruptive menopause transition cracked her open and led her into coaching and writing. Her work sits at the intersection of story, nervous system, and what it means to find your way back to yourself.This conversation went so many places I didn't expect — and I loved every one of them.What we cover:Shannon's origin story — two decades in corporate event planning, a disruptive menopause transition, and how following what she couldn't explain led her to write The Unexpected StoryBrain vs. body wisdom — how the brain deletes, distorts, and generalizes reality, and why the heart and gut offer a more grounded, truthful signalHow survival-mode storytelling keeps us contracted — the stories we tell ourselves that once protected us and now keep us small, stuck, and separate from what's actually possibleFables as healing tools — why indirect story (like the fable "Lumina's Journey") can reach places that direct teaching cannotEmpaths and borrowed emotions — how highly sensitive people absorb others' emotional states and how to begin distinguishing what is yours from what you've taken onHuman design — defined vs. open centers, energy types (projectors vs. generators), and what this framework reveals about nervous system needs and how we're designed to give and receive energyReframing stuckness as winter — why the composting, fallow, apparently unproductive season is not a failure but a necessary part of becomingAncestral and cultural narratives — the stories that aren't even ours but live in our bodies and shape our sense of belongingPerimenopause as threshold — including the astrological context of Chiron and Saturn returns, and why this time of life is a doorway into deeper sovereignty rather than a declineShannon's noticing practice: Identify a repeated story you tell — about yourself, your life, a relationship — and ask: What do I get from telling this story? Not as self-criticism, but as genuine curiosity.

Tighter AI safety requirements could reshape the pace of AI investment. Ariana Salvatore and Michael Zezas dig into why the spending may shift toward more compute, not less.Read more insights from Morgan Stanley.----- Transcript -----Ariana Salvatore: Welcome to Thoughts on the Market. I'm Ariana Salvatore, Head of U.S. Public Policy Research at Morgan Stanley. Michael Zezas: And I'm Michael Zezas, Deputy Global Head of Research at Morgan Stanley. Ariana Salvatore: Today, we'll be talking about AI safety and regulation. It's Wednesday, September 23rd, at 10am in New York. We put out a note last week on AI frontier capability gain and the associated safety risks. Those have been in focus in recent weeks, and as a result, we've gotten a number of questions about the path forward for government regulation. So today, Mike and I are going to get into some of the newest developments, where we think things are headed, and how the midterms could shape that path. Michael Zezas: Yeah, and this is pretty important because the concern is that if AI safety scrutiny increases, it's going to slow everything down. You might have less CapEx, fewer model releases, and there's all sorts of downstream effects for the pace of U.S. growth and investment strategy in equities and throughout the AI investment theme. But Ariana, you and the team landed in a bit of a different place and are arguing that a bigger focus on AI safety could end up being a tailwind to compute spend rather than a brake on it. Can you break that down for us? Ariana Salvatore: Sure. So, the way we see this playing out, is there are five potential states of the world. Some include industry self-policing; some include the prospects for heavier government intervention. Across all of them, as you mentioned, we actually think this is a pretty big tailwind to compute spend and CapEx more broadly. That's because as the labs integrate greater safety monitoring infrastructure, we think that spend is only going to accelerate, especially as LLM capabilities increases at a nonlinear rate. Similarly, on the regulation front, we think there are a few things that prevent something like a large comprehensive AI regulation bill from coming to fruition. We think there's really three, kind of, key obstacles to something like that happening. The first is the politics. So, the president himself has said he's against some sort of large-scale regulation. The second is the procedure. So mechanically speaking, there would need to be a legislative vehicle for this sort of thing to ride on. That's hard to see emerging in the very near term. And the third is precedent. So, historical precedent here tells you that usually regulation is catalyzed by some sort of high salience event. That's why our framework for government reaction here hinges on two components: incident salience, as I just mentioned, and instrument availability. Instrument availability basically reflects the extent to which the government already has a tool that it can pull in this direction. So, that's how we think about it going forward. That doesn't mean all policy action is off the table, but that supports our expectation for higher CapEx, higher compute spend over the coming years. Michael Zezas: Right. So, the idea is that the spending continues and the things that would otherwise limit that spending, you don't see as real plausible policy options at the moment. And can you break this down a little bit more? Because I know there's a lot of different proposals floating around Washington, D.C. from policymakers right now. What are you paying attention to? Ariana Salvatore: We don't expect an overarching AI regulatory authority in the near term. Now, importantly, we also don't expect sweeping open weight model regulation. The reason for that is threefold. First of all, we think the U.S. is keen on maintaining this managed stability relationship with China. We've written about the expectations around the U.S.-China summit. That's kind of a delicate balance that we think is likely to persist. So, overly restricting open weights models might throw a little bit of a wrench into that equilibrium that we see. So that's the first reason. The second reason is diffusion. We think the U.S. administration wants to see the proliferation of open weights models. We know that companies are using some sort of hybrid of open and closed weight. So, to the extent that, you know, banning these models would slow adoption, we don't think that's in the interest of the administration. And the third reason is purely mechanical. It's really hard to enforce these sorts of restrictions. Once a model weight is published online, it can be really hard to clamp down exactly who and where it's going to. Obviously, companies can download them, customize them, et cetera. So, the enforcement picture here is also really challenging. That being said, we do think that the executive can continue to lean in and, sort of, make some incremental adjustments or changes on the regulatory front. But we think it's likely less severe than some of the proposals you're seeing in Congress right now. Things like the Kill Switch Act, for example, which basically mandate that companies can maintain an ability to shut down models at a moment's notice, right? If a certain threshold is crossed. So, that's something that we see as less likely to come to fruition. But again, setting safety standards, guardrails, all of that from the administration we think is possible in the near term.Michael Zezas: What about some of the pushback that would at least appear to be rising at the state and local level around construction of data centers? Is that something that you think might materially slow the industrial build-out and the CapEx levels around AI? Ariana Salvatore: So far, what we've seen is that AI safety risks are not the top of the priority list when it comes to data center pushback, right? So, things like environmental concerns, affordability – those tend to be the main vectors of the opposition. That being said, we've gotten the question, right, to your point, of does this, sort of, risk focus mean that the data center backlash is likely to grow? We think that it could, but at the same time, we think this is a highly idiosyncratic issue, meaning that this is something to pay attention to on a very granular level. Certain states and localities will be the ones to really administer these restrictions, and we think in the aggregate, hyperscalers are going to be able to continue to mitigate. We've already seen these mitigation measures employed. We're still constructive on AI CapEx this year and next, because overall, we see the build-out really becoming more of a conditional build-out. So, that means contingent upon some of these concessions, maybe it's more expensive in certain areas. But overall, we don't think that the concerns around safety are going to derail that story. Michael Zezas: So, then when it comes to data centers, the conditions that might be being put on their construction at the state and local level, for the most part – those building out the data centers have been willing to make those concessions, so it hasn't slowed that much. Is that fair? Ariana Salvatore: That's right, and it really depends on where the pushback is coming from, right? So, in some cases, you're seeing communities push back on things like water usage, right? And we're seeing the hyperscalers come out and respond and say explicitly, you know, how much water they're using in some of these operations. Google is proposing a regulatory framework, so that's something that they're mitigating through that lens. In another example, you've got local communities pushing back on just, sort of, disruptions to quality of life, and you're seeing companies like Meta announce a fund to engage more locally there.So, it really is different. There's no one-size-fits-all solution here. But yes, I agree with you that overall, we don't think this is going to meaningfully constrain the build-out. Michael Zezas: Got it. So, it seems like the idea here is that the secular trend around AI development is going to continue in your view. Is there any way that you think the midterm elections or the outcome around that might change your thinking? Ariana Salvatore: So, I think the midterms will be important for sentiment, but when it comes to the actual policy path, we don't think they're the main driver, and there's two key reasons for that. The first is obviously the president is not changing until 2029. So, the fact that President Trump still has to be involved in any capacity – if we were to see a bill emerge from Congress to us gives a little bit of clarity on what that bill could actually look like. And so ultimately, whatever comes to fruition will have to be a product of collaboration between Democrats, Republicans in Congress, and the president. So, that's a pretty much a constant. The second reason I would say is because, as I kind of alluded to earlier, you tend to see government response when there's a high salience event. And in that case, it doesn't really matter what the government configuration is if it's reactionary. When you think back to things like the pandemic, we saw the CARES Act. In 2008-2009, you saw the ARRA. Those are all efforts that were produced in a divided government. And so, in that vein, we basically think that you need to see some sort of event catalyze a response. The key driver is not going to be government configuration. It's going to be the salience of that event specifically. Michael Zezas: Okay, got it. So, the guidance to investors on the back of all of this is what? Ariana Salvatore: So, the thematic recommendations from our team are intact, right? So, what we were talking about is basically we see these all converging towards a tailwind to CapEx and a tailwind to compute supply. So, in that vein, we still think that you should own inference compute bottlenecks because of that excess demand relative to supply. We think that's going to persist regardless of most of the policy scenarios. We also think own leaders in cybersecurity, as we mentioned. This should drive increased spend, especially as open weight models become much more capable. And then in the third piece, we think you should own AI adopters. AI models are already pretty capable to drive significant productivity. We think that that's just going to continue to unlock. The last thing I would mention, we didn't really get into it in this podcast, but in this conversation we typically also talk about AI sovereignty and the U.S.-China restrictions here. So, in that context, we would avoid negative exposure to rising U.S.-China technology transfer restrictions. We think that's an increasing probability because we do see the governments taking more of an active role, which we think drives bifurcation of the global market.

Today, on Karl and Crew, we continued our weekly theme: “Is that in the Bible? Separating Fact from Fiction." What is the difference between biblical Christianity and Cultural Christianity? MBI Professor of Intercultural Studies and VP of Call of Hope, Dr. Samuel Naaman, explains how our worldview can affect how we read Scripture. Dr. Jim Coakley returned to help us distinguish Scripture from fictional biblical quotes and shared basic principles for reading and studying the Word. Dr. Coakley is a professor at the Moody Bible Institute, a former Senior pastor, and authored “14 Fresh Ways to Enjoy the Bible." Do you like being judged? When is being judgy okay? Speaker and author Shannon Popkin highlighted her new book, "Kinda Judgy: Finding Mercy for Myself and Others in 6 Stories of the Bible." Moody Radio's national midday host, Shawna Beyer, also joined us to share her heart on a current painful journey she is navigating. Finally, learn what a thought-terminating cliché is.

Episode 462: If You Disappeared Tomorrow, Would Your School Still Run? Podcast Description What happens to your martial arts school if you're suddenly not there? Not “I'm taking a planned vacation” not there. Not “I'll still answer texts between classes” not there. We mean: you're out. Unexpected. Surgery. Family emergency. Injury. Something you didn't schedule. In this episode, Duane and Allie dig into a real-life gut check (literally): Duane ended up in the hospital for eight days after an emergency appendix surgery and complications. And here's the part that matters for school owners: the schools didn't collapse. Classes ran. Testing happened. Buddy Week kept moving. Parent communication stayed steady. Not because Duane “powered through” from a hospital bed… but because the team, systems, and culture were already built to operate without the owner being the single point of failure. Key Takeaways Ask the uncomfortable question: “What stops if I stop?”Duane frames it plainly: identify the responsibilities where you are the single point of failure. If you don't do it, it doesn't get done, and the business takes a hit. That's not a guilt trip. It's clarity. Once you see what's owner-dependent, you can start building a plan so the school can keep running even when life happens. Systems remove guesswork (and reduce panic)Allie nails a practical point: write out the process, even in simple detail. Not because your staff is incapable, but because in a chaos moment, people don't need “a talk.” They need a playbook. Duane adds the key distinction: if a “system” only works because the owner has to explain it every time, it's not really a system yet. Preparedness isn't the same as capabilityDuane points out something most owners miss: your staff might be capable of doing the thing… but if they haven't been trained in the process, you're still exposed. In Duane's case, two holes showed up fast: School talks (he normally runs them) Marketing production in Canva (he can do it quickly, but the SOP wasn't documented for someone else to follow) That's a win, not a failure. It's a spotlight. Technology creates mobility, not independenceThis is one of the strongest lines in the episode. Duane was able to run payroll, manage calendars, communicate through Slack, and even create some Canva marketing from his iPad. That's mobility. But the school didn't run because of an iPad. It ran because people executed the standards, followed the structure, and didn't need constant owner input. Develop people… don't just assign tasksDuane asks a question every owner should sit with: Are you developing people, or are you just assigning tasks? Tasks get checked off. Development creates leaders who can teach, make decisions, hold standards, and represent your school when you're not there. And that's what protects your business. Action Steps for School Owners Make your “single point of failure” listWrite down everything that only happens because you do it. Then circle the items that would cause real damage if they stopped for two weeks. Start there. Create an “Open to Close” checklist for your schoolAllie's challenge is simple and powerful: document the day like a fire drill. Include things like: Opening procedures (keys, alarm code, lights, music, equipment) Who teaches what class (and where to find the class plan) Parent communication standards (what to say, what not to say) Closing procedures (clean-up, cash handling, lock-up) If you want the school to feel stable without you, the process has to be stable without you. Cross-train for the chaos scenarioDon't wait until you're sick to find out who can step up. Pick one role you normally own (like school talks, testing leadership, buddy week, marketing, billing, etc.) and train a backup. Not just “how to do it,” but: what “good” looks like what standards must be protected what decisions they can make without you what decisions must be escalated Build a communication system that doesn't require youDuane shares a simple but important setup: a staff communication channel (Slack) a documented SOP hub (Notion) calendar blocking + scheduling links for people trying to reach the owner The goal isn't to be “reachable.” The goal is to make sure the school can respond professionally even when you're unavailable. Use tech wisely (don't learn the wrong lesson)Yes, AI and cloud tools can reduce friction and speed up execution. But don't confuse that with freedom. Freedom comes from: clear systems trained people a culture where “we” matters more than “I” Additional Resources Mentioned Slack (team communication) Notion (SOPs and internal documentation) Canva (marketing production) Google Calendar + scheduling links (blocking time, rescheduling, availability) AI assistant for email triage and drafting (Duane's “Dolly” setup)
The model Kate Moss was cast away by Lauren Laverne in 2022.Her career began after a chance encounter with a model agent on a flight. She describes attending castings on her own as a teenager, which led to some inappropriate requests. Although unpleasant at the time, she says that they have sharpened her instincts, enabling her to "tell a wrong 'un a mile away".You can listen to the full episode on BBC Sounds.
