What if the very thing draining your energy isn't your to-do list… but your tolerance list?In this eye-opening episode, George flips the script on the usual productivity talk and gets real about the silent chaos we allow in our lives. From draining clients to leaky boundaries, what you tolerate becomes what you teach. And today, you'll discover how to reclaim your power, not by doing more, but by tolerating less.This powerful rerun from the Reset in 20 series isn't about adding new strategies, it's about subtracting the ones that are misaligned. What You'll Learn in This Episode:Why misalignment doesn't come from what you do, but what you allowHow tolerating small misfires leads to big resentmentThe ripple effect of values (or lack of them) across your team and businessA single journaling question that will reveal what needs to change now Key Takeaways:✔️You're not what you do, you're what you tolerate. That applies to your team, your offers, your habits, and yourself.✔️Resentment is often self-created. We don't get drained by others, we get drained by saying yes when we mean no.✔️The clearest standards are the ones we model. Your team and your clients won't rise above the example you set.✔️One powerful question to sit with: “What are you resentfully tolerating instead of actively celebrating?”✔️Three values, standards, or principles can realign your entire environment. Timestamps & Highlights:[00:00] — Intro to Episode 4 + overview of Reset in 20[01:45] — “You're not what you do, you're what you tolerate” explained[03:25] — Real-life application with George and Ashley's team[06:50] — Story from EOS Implementer Dave Feidner on toxic team transformation[10:40] — How personal tolerations mirror in business and family[13:00] — Impact of misalignment and missed standards on company culture[15:10] — Values aren't slogans, they're behavioral bumpers[16:40] — Reflection question to reset your standard this week[18:20] — Wrap-up + personal reflection momentYour Challenge This Week:Commit to finishing all 7 episodes of the Reset in 20 series and invite one friend to do it with you.

“Gratitude is contagious. It's something that becomes more powerful as you express it. It reminds me of how fortunate I've been — and through that privilege I feel I owe to do what I can for others.”John Pepper, P&G's former Chairman and CEO, needs no introduction. John has played many roles in business, community, service, and the lives of countless people. He returns to our podcast to discuss his new book, "100 Books That Shaped My Life: Reflections on a Lifetime of Reading, " which might just be the perfect gift this holiday season, for yourself or for anyone in your life who loves a good read."100 Books That Shaped My Life" is no mere book list — it is a life story told through the books that walked alongside John: as a husband, father, leader, citizen, and as someone thinking deeply about what matters most in the time we're given. These are the books that shaped John's understanding of history, democracy, gratitude, and hope — especially in the most recent chapters of his life.Moving from Values, to Biographies, Philosophy, U.S. and Global History, Memoirs, Novels, and Personal Essays, 100 Books That Shaped My Life mirrors something true about John himself: a leader shaped not by one discipline, but by a lifelong curiosity across every discipline. In our conversation, John reflects on how a lifetime of reading helped him better live a lifetime — deepening his understanding of friendship, love, loss, courage, service, and the quiet beauty of everyday life.John's literary influences range from novelists like John Steinbeck, Oliver Sacks, Wallace Stegner, Marilynne Robinson, George Orwell, and Tolstoy, to memoirists such as Frederick Douglass, Katharine Graham, James Reston, and Michelle Obama, to historians and biographers including David Blight, Jon Meacham, Doris Kearns Goodwin, Jill Lepore, and so many others. Woven through all of it is a deeply human narrative — his love for his late wife, Francie; his reflections on aging, family, and purpose; the leaders who shaped him; the lessons hard-won; and the quiet moments that stayed with him.As Bob Iger put it, “Whether you're an executive or simply someone who loves reading and learning, you will find great value and wisdom in this book.” And we couldn't agree more. For anyone who enjoys learning from lived experience, this conversation — and this book — make a wonderful companion. It might even inspire you to reflect on everything you've read and learned along the way.

Chris Markowski discusses the importance of prioritizing financial planning over conventional retirement planning. He emphasizes the need for individuals to focus on what truly matters in life, such as family and experiences, rather than material possessions. The conversation also touches on the challenges faced by the Federal Reserve and the impact of private equity on financial advisories, highlighting the need for individuals to be cautious in their investment decisions.

Most leaders talk about AI in terms of pilots, projects, and one-off tools. In this solo episode, host Susan Diaz explains why that mindset stalls adoption - and introduces the idea of an AI flywheel: a simple, compounding loop of audit → training → personalized tools → ROI that quietly turns experiments into momentum across your whole organisation. Episode summary Susan opens by contrasting how most organizations approach AI - pilots, isolated chatbots, a few licences to "see what happens" - with how enduring companies build flywheels that compound over time. Borrowing from Jim Collins' Good to Great, and examples like Amazon's recommendation engine, she reframes AI from "one big launch" to a heavy wheel that's hard to move at first, but almost impossible to stop once it's spinning. She then introduces her AI flywheel for organizations, built on four moving pillars: Audit - reality-check where AI already lives in tools, workflows, risks, and guardrails. Training - raise the floor of AI literacy so more people can safely experiment. Personalised tools and workflows - move beyond generic prompts into department- and workflow-specific systems. ROI tracking - measure time saved, errors reduced, risk reduced, and adoption so the story keeps getting funded. Instead of a linear checklist, these components form a loop - each turn of the wheel making the next easier, and creating an unfair advantage for organizations that start early. Finally, Susan adds the outer ring: human-first culture and governance as the operating system around the flywheel - psychological safety, champions and mentors, and values like equity that ensure AI momentum doesn't quietly recreate hustle culture or leave people behind. She closes with practical questions any leadership team can use this week to start their own AI flywheel. Key takeaways Projects start and end. Flywheels don't. Treating AI as a string of pilots and vendor launches creates start–stop energy. Designing a flywheel turns every experiment into input for the next win. A flywheel is heavy at first - but gains unstoppable momentum. Like a giant metal train wheel, it needs a lot of initial force, but each full turn adds speed. AI works the same: early experiments feel slow, compounding learning later feels unfairly fast. The AI flywheel has four core pillars: Audit - map current tools, workflows, risks, and guardrails; discover hidden wins and power users. Training - treat AI like financial literacy: a minimum viable level for everyone so they can ask better questions and prompt more effectively. Personalised tools & workflows - stop asking "Which LLM?" and start asking "Which steps in this 37-step process should AI do?" Workflow first, tool second. ROI tracking - measure time saved, errors reduced, faster time to market, risk reduction, and % of AI-augmented workflows so leaders keep investing. Culture is the operating system around the flywheel. Without psychological safety, people hide experiments. Without support, power users burn out. Values like equity matter: who's getting trained, who has access, and who you're helping reskill. Governance should feel like guidance, not punishment. You don't build an AI flywheel in a day. You start with one audit, one workflow, one dashboard that makes things more transparent - and commit to one small centimetre of momentum at a time. Episode highlights [00:02] Why "we're piloting a chatbot" is not a strategy. [01:34] Flywheel 101: the train-wheel analogy and why momentum beats one-off effort. [03:19] Amazon's recommendation engine as a classic business flywheel. [05:02] Applying Jim Collins' Good to Great flywheel lens to AI initiatives. [05:30] From big bang ERP-style AI projects to small, compounding loops. [08:00] Introducing the four pillars: audit, training, personalised tools, ROI. [08:53] Audit as reality check: surfacing hidden wins and DIY power users. [11:14] Training as "raising the floor" of AI literacy. [14:08] Workflow-first thinking and the myth of the single all-powerful agent. [17:33] ROI stories: error reduction, faster time to market, and risk reduction. [20:19] Culture as outer ring: psychological safety, champions, values in action. [23:06] Starting your flywheel: three questions for your leadership team. Use this episode as a design tool, not just a definition. Grab a whiteboard with your leadership team and map: Where are we already auditing, training, personalising tools, and measuring ROI - however informally? Where is the wheel broken, or missing entirely? What's one centimetre of movement we can create this quarter - one audit, one workflow, one dashboard - to start our AI flywheel turning?

How can the United States advance its interests without abandoning its core values? Alexander Vindman, retired U.S. Army lieutenant colonel and former director for European Affairs on the White House's National Security Council, presents a discussion on the critical interplay between morality, values and power in the practice of geopolitics and national security.  After the collapse of the Soviet Union, six U.S. presidential administrations across both parties crafted policies for Russia, Ukraine and Eurasia that unintentionally emboldened Russia and played into its imperialist, centuries-long mythos of regional hegemony, by pursuing short-term transactional policies. The result: military aggression and full-scale invasion. It was all too foreseeable.  Vindman will discuss the shifting U.S. foreign policy landscape, what a just peace and lasting end to the war in Ukraine might look like, the administration's increasingly transactional approach to international relations, and Trump's heavy-handed approach to national security and domestic politics. About the Speaker  Dr. Alexander Vindman, a retired US Army Lieutenant Colonel, was the director for European Affairs on the National Security Council. Before that, he served as the political-military affairs officer for Russia for the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and as an attaché at the U.S. Embassies in Moscow and Kyiv. While on the Joint Staff, he authored the National Military Strategy for Russia. He earned a Master's from Harvard University, where he served as a Hauser Leader, and a Master's and Doctorate from Johns Hopkins, where he is a senior fellow. Dr. Vindman leads the national security think tank Institute for Informed American Leadership, is the president of the nonprofit Here Right Matters Foundation, an executive board member for the Renew Democracy Initiative, a senior fellow at the Kettering Foundation, and a senior advisor to VoteVets. Dr. Vindman is the author of the "Why It Matters" Substack and the New York Times bestselling books Here, Right Matters and The Folly of Realism. Learn more about your ad choices.

In this episode of Score Values, Tyler Buterbaugh sat down with Alma Gonzalez from Chicago Children's Advocacy Center to get information on their upcoming toy drive and how to donate. Linnae Harper of the That Harper Kid foundation also joined the show to share information on its fourth annual toy giveaway and how you can help kids in need.

In this bonus episode, host Dane Groeneveld sits down with producer, Dr. Alicia McCraw and colleague David Bumby for a practical, behind-the-scenes walkthrough of how to identify the values that guide any team. Rather than brainstorming lofty ideals, David demonstrates a process listeners can use themselves: revealing the values already at work, pressure-testing them, translating them into observable behaviors, and integrating them into daily decision-making. Through real examples from the podcast, moments of tension, and candid reflection, the team uncovers how values quietly influence decisions long before they're documented. They explore how curiosity shapes guest selection, how psychological safety drives production choices, and why doubling down on the human has become a recurring theme in their work.Whether you're defining values for the first time or clarifying what your team already believes, this episode gives you the questions, steps, and mindset to do it with intention.This episode includes visuals. Images referenced during the conversation: our Mural board, value ranking, and River MoonShine are shared in Dane Groeneveld's LinkedIn post. The link is included in the show notes. 

Bhante Sathi explains that the five precepts existed before the Buddha and arose naturally from mindful communities recognizing their own desire for safety, well-being, and escape from harm. By understanding our instinct for self-preservation, we learn to extend that same respect and care to others, forming the foundations of ethical conduct. Ultimately, these precepts function as tools for inner growth, allowing us to cultivate mindfulness, responsibility, and freedom from self-created suffering.

In this Continuing Conversations episode, Michael Dismuke, Jim Johnson, and Alex Boer explore innovative ways to track character growth in Star Trek Adventures. Alex demonstrates his visual value-tracking system—using index card-style boxes and arrows to map how values evolve and generate determination through callbacks. The group discusses both digital (Obsidian, Google Sheets) and physical approaches to tracking mission logs, showing how these tools help players stay engaged with their character's moral compass and choices. Together, they unpack how experienced players share determination, reset values between episodes, and use milestones to develop both main and supporting characters—bringing deeper emotional continuity to every mission. https://linktr.ee/studiotembo

NATO's Viability and Europe's Demographic Shifts: Colleague Blaine Holt questions NATO's viability through 2050, citing rising US sentiment to withdraw and Europe's demographic shifts due to mass migration, warning that diverging values and economic instability could lead to civil unrest or new geopolitical alignments between Russia, China, and the US. 1922

The life of your business is going to be determined by how easily and frequently you and your staff can identify, during the workday, behaviors and events that represent the values of your company. The problem is that because we are so busy with the tasks of the work, it makes it difficult for us to identify those times in the work that can help motivate nourish and sustain us. Today on shift break, we will be talking about your role as a leader to help identify values on shift. This practice will result a team of people ready to not only recognize the difference between bad and good behaviors and situations on bar, but it will create staff who then independently pursue furthering the good.

I'm pulling back the curtain on a lesson that cost me months of energy and a piece of my confidence as a leader. You'll often know by week three or four when a new hire isn't going to make it, and waiting six months to act isn't just costly, it's a failure of leadership. I share the difference between a coachable skill gap and a fundamental values misalignment. Discover the two questions that immediately clarify your next move and the three clear, documented conversations you must have before making the final decision.

Sarah Fox is a lawyer transforming the way people do business. After decades dealing with huge deals in the construction sector, she realised that long, complex and bad contracts were costing time, money, deals and relationships.  Sarah advocates for short, simple contracts starting with just 500 words.  She inspires people across industries to streamline deals and enhance customer relations with contracts that represent their values, embed trust, and keep everyone protected. In this show Sarah will be sharing how speakers can create simpler contracts that can build bigger speaking businesses. What you'll discover: • The real cost of bloated contracts (and who they're really protecting) • What actually counts as a "contract" (yes, even that email thread! • How to price and protect your work, your recordings, and your energy • Why your contract should sound like you — not your solicitor's scary cousin • What red flags to watch for in pre-gig conversations • How your contract can actually accelerate your business (yes, really!) • How Sarah's TEDx moment and Happy Fee rule changed how she does business • The 3 C's every speaker contract should cover — and what to say when someone says "That's a bit pricey, isn't it?" Enjoy! If you've ever said "I'll just send them a quick email" instead of a proper agreement… this episode is for you. It's time to simplify, protect, and sound more like you in every part of your speaking business — including the small print.   If you'd like to watch the video of the episode, you can do that here>>   Guest Information: Website: https://500words.co.uk/  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sarahjvfox/  Books & Resources*: Play Big by Tara Mohr Stepping Up as a Motivational Speaker with Joy Marsden - The Speaking Club 055 Speaking Resources: Grab Your From Blank Page to Stage Guide and Nail the Topic for a Client Winning Talk: https://saraharcher.co.uk/newguide-tsc  Want to get better at finding and sharing your stories then check out our FREE Five Day Snackable Story Challenge: https://www.saraharcher.co.uk/challenge  To share your thoughts:                                                   ·   leave a comment below. ·   Share this show on X, Facebook or LinkedIn.

Send us a textWhat if we judged vices by impact instead of labels? We kick off with an unflinching look at cocaine alongside alcohol, weed, sugar, gambling, and porn, and ask a harder question: are you functioning, or is the vice running your life? From there, we grapple with legality versus morality and how the loudest opinions often punish optics instead of outcomes. It's not about normalizing harm; it's about being honest and consistent.That honesty takes us through a risky media “experiment” thought experiment, and into a critique of the spectacle economy that rewards clips over rigor. We unpack the Diddy documentary as a case study in power, image, and control, and then confront “snitch” culture head-on. If the evidence is public, is curation ratting, or are we avoiding accountability by shaming messengers more than offenders? We challenge the idea of exporting street codes to the mainstream when the streets promise poverty, death, and prison—not a life worth modeling.Sports becomes the mirror. We vent about the Falcons—a franchise trapped in false starts and QB purgatory—and contrast that with fantasy football's clean incentives. Then we go deep on college football's broken design: TV-driven calendars, automatic bids that ignore quality, and portal timing that punishes both integrity and academics. We argue for a student-first schedule, smarter guardrails for NIL and transfers, and fewer corporate finance tricks shaping the sport. Bigger brackets won't fix a system built on perverse incentives; better structure will.We close on consequences and choice through the Michigan coaching fallout: don't mix power and romance at work, and if you do, own the decision instead of letting secrecy burn lives. Across every topic, the throughline is clear—set values, measure impact, and accept the cost. If that framework makes sense to you, hit follow, share this with a friend, and drop a review with the one change you'd make to college football right now.Support the show

In this solo episode, Kelly looks back at how business has shifted from the AI explosion of 2023, to the rise of personal branding in 2024, to the wave of raw, human authenticity in 2025, and makes a bold prediction for what comes next. 2026, he argues, will be the year of community, where leaders are no longer satisfied with surface level connections and instead seek real belonging in rooms where they can be honest, supported, and challenged. Drawing on his experience building The Catalyst Club, Kelly shares what he has seen firsthand as leaders open up, share the hard stuff, and finally find a place where people actually get it. From there, he lays out ten clear rules to help you choose the right community in 2026, plus five bonus tips to make sure you get real value from whichever room you join. You will learn how to spot the difference between a group that just talks and a community that actually creates opportunities, what it means to feel both safe and stretched, and why participation is the secret that separates people who grow from people who just lurk. If you want 2026 to be the year your community truly changes everything for you, this episode gives you the roadmap.Key Takeaways: 1. The right community should reflect the future version of you, not just who you are today, so that simply being in the room stretches your growth. 2. Values are non-negotiable: if a community's DNA doesn't align with your beliefs about integrity, growth, and how business should be done, you don't belong there. 3. Activity is everything; you want a room full of people who show up, engage, share wins, and help each other, not a graveyard of ghost profiles and empty feeds.4. Great communities have leaders who are present in the trenches, learning with their people and setting the tone by how they show up, not just what they say. 5. The best rooms make you feel both safe and challenged, giving you space to be human while still expecting you to pursue excellence and tell the truth about where you're at. 6. A real community doesn't just talk, it creates opportunities through introductions, collaborations, referrals, hot seats, and shared wins that move everyone forward. 7. Diversity of perspective matters more than demographics; you need people ahead of you, beside you, and learning from you to create an ecosystem that fuels momentum. 8. Structure beats chaos every time; consistent events, rituals, themes, and clear rules create safety, trust, and a rhythm that makes it easier to show up. 9. You should feel seen in your community—when you speak, people respond, and your presence is acknowledged—because a room that doesn't see you can't grow you. 10. Your energy is data; if you leave calls drained, you're in the wrong room, but if you leave buzzing and inspired, you've probably found your community for 2026 and beyond.If this episode hit home, and you know 2026 needs to be your year of community, The Catalyst Club is exactly the kind of room we talked about. It is a private, virtual leadership community where founders, builders, and business development leaders show up honestly, share what is really going on, and help each other grow with real support and real strategy.

If you've ever felt stretched too thin, this episode is for you. In Part 1 of my series, 12 Things I've Learned About Homeschool Moms, I share the first six insights I've gathered over my years as a homeschool mom, coach, and guide for women just like you. These self-care tips for overwhelmed homeschool moms aren't rules or prescriptions—they're real-life reflections from someone who's walked this path, experienced the overwhelm, and learned how to reclaim herself without abandoning her homeschool dreams. Join the 12-Day Self-Care Challenge for Homeschool Moms What You'll Learn: Self-Care Tips for Overwhelmed Homeschool Moms Every homeschool mom faces invisible challenges, even when things look “perfect” from the outside. In this episode, I dive into the first six things I've learned about the homeschool mom experience: You feel like you never get a moment to yourself – The constant “on” mode can leave you disconnected from your own body and needs. No one sees everything you do – From teaching to caregiving to emotional labor, the invisible load is real. You say yes because it feels easier than dealing with disappointment – Learning to say no is a radical act of self-care. You're emotionally depleted – The overwhelm is rarely about homeschooling itself—it's about carrying too much without space to reset. You feel guilty resting – Rest isn't optional; it's essential for your health, your energy, and your presence in your family. You don't even know who you are anymore outside motherhood – Reconnecting with yourself is foundational to leading a confident, aligned homeschool life. Every one of these six things isn't a sign that you're doing homeschooling wrong—they're signs that you're human and have been carrying more than anyone was meant to carry alone. Why These Self-Care Tips for Overwhelmed Homeschool Moms Matter If any part of this episode made you exhale or think, “oh… that's me,” consider this your gentle invitation to start tending to yourself with the same care you offer everyone else in your home. Emotional overfunctioning and people-pleasing can follow you into homeschooling, and slowly, you lose not just your energy, but your sense of self. Reclaiming yourself isn't selfish—it's foundational. Your kids feel safest when you feel safe. Join the 12-Day Homeschool Mom Self-Care Challenge This is exactly why I created the 12-Day Homeschool Mom Self-Care Challenge. It's not another checklist or performance-based challenge. Instead, it's twelve small, doable shifts designed to help you come back to yourself with compassion, not pressure. Daily Letters – Thoughtful reflections to help you see your needs clearly. Gentle Reflection Prompts – Uncover the stories you've been carrying. Tiny, Doable Practices – Small actions to create real emotional space. As one mom said: “Your work has ripple effects because you're nurturing the nurturers.” You deserve that same nurture too. Click here to join the 12-Day Self-Care Challenge and start making your own 1% shifts away from overwhelm and toward a homeschool life that feels good from the inside out. What's Next for Overwhelmed Homeschool Moms Next week, we'll continue with Part 2 of this series, where I share six more things I've learned about homeschool moms. They go even deeper, and I think you'll feel just as held, understood, and equipped to make your homeschool life feel lighter and more aligned. Until then, take one moment today just for you—not because it's earned, but because you need it and you deserve it. Join the 12-Day Self-Care Challenge for Homeschool Moms To the Woman Reading This… If any part of this resonates — if you recognize your own patterns of over-functioning, self-forgetting, or carrying too much — please know you don't have to walk this alone. Maybe safety felt conditional, or you learned to earn love by meeting everyone else's needs.Or maybe you're carrying grief or stories that were never yours to carry. I've walked this path too — from losing myself to returning to myself. If you're ready to step into who you truly are, I'd be honoured to walk beside you. ➤ Learn more about coaching with Teresa here.

It's that time of year.Planning season. Goal-setting. Strategic reviews. New Year's resolutions.And every leader I know is doing the same thing:Setting goals for next year. Revenue targets. Growth initiatives. Performance metrics. Personal resolutions.But here's what I've learned after years of coaching executives:Goals without a foundation don't work.By February, most of those goals are forgotten. By March, leaders are back in reactive mode. By Q2, it's just another year of overwhelm.Why? Because they started with goals instead of clarity.Your Dashboard IS your strategy.Not another planning tool. Not another framework to add to the pile.It's the foundation everything else is built on.When you have clarity on your Vision, Mission, Values, Edge, Key Initiatives, Performance, Relationships, and Development, your goals flow naturally from that.You're not guessing what to focus on. You're not reacting to every new opportunity. You're not setting goals that sound good but don't actually align with who you are or where you're going.You're leading from clarity.In this week's newsletter and podcast, I'm breaking down:Why most New Year goals fail by February (no foundation)How the Dashboard becomes your strategic framework for the yearHow to use your Dashboard to plan Q1 (and beyond)Why leaders who start with clarity outperform leaders who start with goalsBecause this is the moment. The end of one year. The beginning of another.You can start the new year the same way you started this one—with a list of goals and good intentions.Or you can start with clarity. With a Dashboard. With a strategy.Read the full article here: LinkedIn - The Leaders Boost

What does it take to build a golf technology empire that not only survives but thrives through explosive growth, multiple acquisitions, and rapid industry change? In this power-packed episode, Colin Weston sits down with Chris Kallmeyer, the CEO of Golf Genius, for a masterclass in scaling a business while preserving its core soul. Four years after his first appearance, Chris returns to pull back the curtain on how Golf Genius grew from a tournament software leader into a comprehensive ecosystem serving every facet of the golf professional's world. We dive deep into the "glue" that holds it all together - a winning company culture - and explore the cutting-edge integrations of AI, the strategic expansion into sim golf, and the mission to create golfers for life. If you're in the golf industry, a business leader, or simply fascinated by how to build a beloved and enduring company, press play now. This conversation is packed with actionable insights you won't want to miss. Listen to this full episode with Chris to discover: Culture is Your #1 Competitive Advantage: Discover why Golf Genius prioritizes cultural fit above all else, even in acquisitions, and how this focus has resulted in a world-class employee turnover rate of just 4%. Learn how a foundation of over 70 PGA professionals on staff creates an authentic, service-driven brand. Serving the PGA Professional is the North Star: Unpack the strategy of viewing the golf professional as the "center of the universe." See how this philosophy naturally led to a portfolio that solves pain points in tournament management, golf shop operations (Golf Shop), handicapping (via the USGA's GHIN system), and coaching (Operation 36 & CoachNow). The Practical & Profitable Application of AI: Move beyond the hype. Chris details exactly how Golf Genius is implementing AI in two key buckets: to boost internal productivity (in development, support, and marketing) and to build powerful, time-saving features for customers, like automated inventory processing and intelligent coaching tools. https://media24.fireside.fm/file/fireside-uploads-2024/images/1/1ea879c1-a4a2-4e10-bea4-e5d8368a3c7a/jL3Nhpua.jpg Episode Chapters: (00:04) Introduction: The Return of Chris Kallmeyer (02:18) The Foundation: Golf Genius as a Tournament Management Powerhouse (05:53) The Secret Sauce: Building and Maintaining Company Culture (08:21) Acquisition Strategy: Why Cultural Fit is Non-Negotiable (19:02) Defining the Brand: Vision, Values, and Serving the Pro (13:18) Inside the Ecosystem: Powering the USGA's Handicap System (16:36) Solving Pain Points: The Growth of Golf Shop (19:52) AI in Action: Making Golf Genius and Its Customers More Productiv (24:52) Growing the Game: The Coaching Portfolio (Operation 36 & CoachNow) (30:23) The Future is Hybrid: Expanding into Simulator & Indoor Golf (36:10) Global Growth: Key International Markets (39:53) Leadership Lessons: Strategic Bets and Saying "No" (41:51) How to Connect with Golf Genius Compelling Quotes from Chris On Culture & Growth: "We have a blended turnover with 300 people worldwide of something like 4% a year. That's world-class. It illustrates that we have a great culture that people enjoy working for. But beyond luck, we do take it very seriously and we work hard to maintain that culture, which gets harder and harder as you get bigger."* On Their Core Mission: "Our goal is to make the hard things easy while also making the easy things easy. We serve PGA professionals. They're the center of our universe. Whether they're running tournaments, managing golf shops, or coaching, we have products that help them do all those things, and we're here to serve them." On AI Strategy: "We look at AI in two primary buckets: How can we use AI to make ourselves more productive? And the second bucket is, how can we use AI to deliver AI-powered features that make our customers more productive or deliver capabilities that they don't already have."

In this episode of The TechEd Podcast, host Matt Kirchner sits down with Irv Blumkin, Chairman of Nebraska Furniture Mart (NFM), and Ryan Blumkin, Executive Vice President, to unpack nearly 90 years of retail innovation, from Mrs. B's pawn-shop beginnings to multi-acre campuses in Omaha, Kansas City, Dallas, and soon Austin. They explore what it's like to partner with Warren Buffett and Berkshire Hathaway, build massive destination developments, and still obsess over every single SKU and customer interaction. From dynamic pricing and AI-enabled operations to a mind-blowing learning trip through China's retail and technology ecosystem, Irv and Ryan share how NFM is using data, automation, and emerging tech to deepen their moat, without ever losing sight of values, culture, and long-term thinking. They also talk careers in retail tech, why young “outside-the-box” thinkers matter, and the role of lifelong learning in leading through disruption. Listen to learn:Why Warren Buffett bought Nebraska Furniture Mart on a handshake, and what Irv has learned from decades of dinners and deal-making with himWhy strong values and culture matter more than ever in this tech-driven marketplaceHow NFM uses massive-store footprints, destination partners like Scheels, and even hotel/convention centers to turn shopping into an experienceHow dynamic pricing, digital shelf tags, and nightly web crawls of 70,000+ SKUs keep NFM competitive with Amazon, Costco, Wayfair, and othersWhat Irv and Ryan saw in China's tech companies and how those lessons are shaping NFM's future3 Big Takeaways from this Episode:1. Timeless values can scale into a $2 billion business. Mrs. B's simple principles (sell at a great price, tell the truth, and pay your bills) still anchor NFM's strategy, even as the company builds 1.8 million-square-foot campuses and expands into new markets like Austin. Irv connects those values directly to long-term growth, customer trust, and the family's partnership with Berkshire Hathaway. 2. Technology is now core infrastructure, not an add-on. NFM's nightly web crawling, digital price tags, and dynamic pricing systems automatically position them as the best value against online competitors, while complex distribution networks and emerging AI tools optimize inventory and logistics. Ryan frames this as building a “moat” with data, automation, and relentless operational excellence, not just more advertising. 3. Lifelong learning is mandatory for modern leadership. Irv has invested in executive education for decades, and both he and Ryan describe their China trip as “eye opening” in terms of speed, scrappiness, AI adoption, and asset-light business models. They're already translating those lessons into new e-commerce strategies, warehouse automation concepts, and AI-enabled process improvements back at NFM. Resources in this Episode:Learn more about Nebraska Furniture MartOther resources mentioned:Six Days in China: The Speed, Scale and Innovation Outpacing the U.S. - Podcast episode with Todd WanekMORE LINKS & RESOURCES ON THE EPISODE PAGE: https://techWe want to hear from you!

In today's episode, I'm taking you back to the prairie, to 'Little House on the Prairie,' Michael Landon, Half-Pint, and the traditional values so many of us are secretly craving again. I share why I've always felt like a tiny, "frothy spirit" version of Laura Ingalls myself, what hit me so deeply about seeing the cast older in a recent documentary, and why their real-life challenges only make us love them more. I explore why searches for traditional values, simple living, homestead lifestyle, and slow living are rising, and what Little House on the Prairie still teaches us about family, community, faith, and meaningful work in a noisy, overwhelmed world. In this episode, I talk about: • Why Little House on the Prairie still resonates in 2025 • The quiet power of Michael Landon's warmth and father-figure energy • How Half-Pint (Laura Ingalls) became a blueprint for so many of us • The rise of searches for "traditional values," "simple living," and "slow living" • Practical ways to bring "prairie values" into a very modern life • My own story as a "frothy spirit" who identifies with Laura   If you've ever wanted less chaos, more calm, and a life that feels simple but deeply meaningful, this episode is for you. Listen, share with a fellow Little House lover, and subscribe for more episodes on traditional values, simple living, emotional grounding, and building a gentler life in a loud world.

In this interview Lenny sits down with Michael to talk about how fine-tuning evidence shook his atheism, why cosmology, physics, and DNA point to an intelligent Creator and how 36 hours of interviews with Hugh Ross, Stephen Meyer, Frank Turek, J. Warner Wallace, Sean McDowell, Mary Jo Sharp, and Mike Licona formed the backbone of his new film.
