Podcasts about Vision

Certified financial planners Michael Lynch and Alisa Olsen discuss their article "Create your own financial vision for independence," an excerpt from their book Taking Care of Your Future: Your Simple System for a Big Retirement. Michael and Alisa explain why your financial plan must be driven by your personal vision, not someone else's. They share a critical concept for planning: your income drives your working life, but your expenses drive your retired life. This single shift in perspective determines how much you need to save and what your financial independence will look like. This episode explores how to set a clear vision (like the nurse who just wanted to avoid nor'easters), how financial goals for housing and education are interrelated, and why the two most important elements in any plan are time and money. Learn how to define your own vision and make the decisions that will turn it into your reality. Our presenting sponsor is Microsoft Dragon Copilot.

Starlink: Funding the Mars Vision through LEO Constellations. Eric Berger discusses Starlink, a constellation of Low Earth Orbit satellites designed to fund Musk's Mars vision. While the idea wasn't new, deploying thousands of satellites for global internet was previously viewed as impractical due to manufacturing and launch rate limitations. Starlink, now highly successful with about 7,000 operational satellites, minimizes lag compared to geostationary systems like Iridium. This revenue stream is critical to supporting the company's goals, although the work environment demands extreme dedication from employees who often sacrifice personal lives. Guest: Eric Berger.

Musk's Audacious Mars Colonization Vision. Eric Berger discusses Elon Musk's remarkable September 2016 speech in Guadalajara outlining the colonization of Mars. Musk proposed building a self-sustaining colony requiring landing a million tons of equipment using a fully reusable massive rocket. This vision, described as audacious and like science fiction, revealed the company's true intent: establishing a second civilization to prevent species extinction, informing every subsequent step taken by SpaceX. Guest: Eric Berger.

Falcon 9 Full Thrust: Densification and Barge Landings. Eric Berger describes how, following a 2015 failure, SpaceX developed the Falcon 9 Full Thrust, version 3.0/4.0. Driven by the Mars vision, they adopted densification—chilling liquid oxygen to boost density and increase payload efficiency by 10 to 12 percent. Crucially, they focused on landing the booster vertically on a moving barge, skipping steps in the reusability process. This challenge required redesigned Merlin engines and advanced avionics, leading to several learning failures as they tried to figure out how best to line up the rocket with the ship. Guest: Eric Berger.

Today you explore the Roman concept of Oculi, or the Gaze of Authority, which they believed was the truest signal of constantia—unwavering stability and resolve. We explore the modern science behind why a steady gaze calms your nervous system. You'll learn the 70/30 Rule and the Focal Point Drill, giving you a simple, repeatable physical technique to anchor your vision and claim your presence under pressure. ALL ABOUT THIS WEEK'S SERIES Welcome to The Roman Power Code: 7 Days to Inner Authority and Calm. If you've ever felt your energy drain away in a stressful situation, if your hands shake before a presentation, or if you struggle to maintain focus under pressure, this series is for you. We often try to solve problems of confidence and anxiety with our thoughts—we argue with our inner critic, we try to logically reason our way into feeling secure. But the ancient Romans understood a profound truth: Your body is the source of your authority. The Roman Empire was built on more than just discipline; it was built on an embodied presence that they called Gravitas—a personal weight, seriousness, and undeniable importance. This journey is a practical masterclass in self-command. By the end of this series, you won't just feel more confident—you will have a physical, repeatable, and accessible code to embody that confidence whenever you need it. This is day 1 of a 7-day meditation series, The Roman Power Code: 7 Days to Inner Authority and Calm," episodes 3416-3422. YOUR WEEKLY CHALLENGE: Intentional Micro-Posturing Quest: Check your posture, adjust your shoulders, back, relax your jaw, and hold the Gaze of Authority (steady, calm eye contact). This challenge forces you to consciously apply the Roman techniques in low-stakes situations, building the neural pathways for Embodied Power to become automatic. THIS WEEK'S MEDITATION JOURNEY  Day 1:  Dignity Visualization Day 2:  Affirmation: "I command my presence and own my peace." Day 3:  Praetor's Pause Day 4:  Ganesha mudra for overcoming obstacles Day 5:  Seventh Chakra for Interconnectedness Day 6:  Mental Focus Flow meditation, combining the week's techniques Day 7:  Weekly review meditation and closure SHARE YOUR MEDITATION JOURNEY WITH YOUR FELLOW MEDITATORS Let's connect and inspire each other!

When Ron Blue joins us, it's always a masterclass in biblical wisdom. He's co-founder of Kingdom Advisors, a best-selling author, and a trusted mentor to many. Ron has spent decades helping believers apply God's principles to every area of life and business.Today, Ron unpacks what Scripture teaches about partnerships and how faith should shape the way we enter, manage, and exit them.The Broader Meaning of “Partnership”When the Apostle Paul warned believers about being “unequally yoked,” he wasn't speaking only about marriage. As Ron explains, “Paul was talking about partnerships—and there are so many kinds.”From professional firms and small businesses to investment ventures and partnerships, they can take many forms. And while they can be incredibly fruitful, they also carry spiritual and relational risks.Ron pointed out that partnerships often last a long time—sometimes decades. “The CPA firm I founded has been operating as a partnership for 50 years,” he said. “But not all partnerships endure well. Like marriage, many end in conflict.”Principle #1: Protect Your TestimonyRon's first principle is about spiritual integrity. “You have to ask what the partnership will do to your testimony,” he said. “If you're unequally yoked with someone whose values fundamentally differ from yours, you could lose your witness in the process.”He recalled being asked whether a Christian OB-GYN should enter a business partnership with a doctor who supports abortion. “Only you and God can answer that,” he said, “but it's a big question. Your witness is always at stake.”Principle #2: Plan Your Exit Before You Begin“Have your exit strategy in place before you form the partnership,” Ron advises.Just as couples prepare for challenges in marriage, business partners should anticipate potential separation. A clear exit plan protects both parties, ensures fairness, and helps maintain peace when the time comes to move on.“When you have that in place,” Ron said, “you avoid a lot of conflict and preserve your testimony if you're the believer who's leaving.”Principle #3: Preserve the Mission Beyond the RelationshipPerhaps the most powerful insight Ron shared was this: the mission must outlive the partnership.Ron recalled his own experience leading a financial planning firm. “After 23 years, I left—but no one left with me,” he said. “They were committed to the mission. That's what you want to see happen.”A strong exit strategy and shared vision help ensure that the work—and the witness—continue long after any individual departs.The Bottom LineShared faith isn't just good for business—it's essential for a lasting witness. Partnerships grounded in biblical principles reflect God's wisdom and preserve peace amid challenges.As Ron put it, “The most critical thing you want to preserve is your testimony. Everything else flows from that.”On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:I'm concerned about vendors and service providers who want my bank account information for automatic withdrawals. I've been paying my lawn service with money orders, but now they require my account number. I told them we'd have to stop doing business because I'm not comfortable giving out that information. Isn't this kind of intrusive? What do you think about vendors wanting access to our accounts?My spouse and I are both 70 and ready to retire. I own 10 rental houses, but managing them has become too much. Once I sell the properties, what should I do with the proceeds? I understand the basics about capital gains and selling real estate, but I don't want the responsibility of managing individual stock investments myself.I've saved about $15,000 for a car, but have kept my current vehicle running as long as possible. It's a 2007 with 235,000 miles and is starting to have more issues. I found a good used car for about $8,500 and am wondering if I should buy it now or keep driving my current one until it dies, even though repairs may be on the horizon.My parents' health is declining, and we're moving them closer to family. Their current home is in an irrevocable trust, but we've found a condo they can buy before selling that house. Can the new condo be added to the same irrevocable trust? And when the old home sells, what happens to the proceeds?Resources Mentioned:Faithful Steward: FaithFi's Quarterly Magazine (Become a FaithFi Partner)Wisdom Over Wealth: 12 Lessons from Ecclesiastes on MoneyLook At The Sparrows: A 21-Day Devotional on Financial Fear and AnxietyRich Toward God: A Study on the Parable of the Rich FoolFind a Certified Kingdom Advisor (CKA)FaithFi App Remember, you can call in to ask your questions every workday at (800) 525-7000.

Technology (https://www.follow-me-tech.com/)—better known as the HyperDent (https://www.follow-me-tech.com/hyperdent/) guy. Jordan takes us on a wild ride through the world of CAM software, milling strategies, toolpaths, and the surprisingly fascinating story of how dental CAM even became what it is today. From his early days as a third-generation “dental nepo baby” to running a zirconia milling center with his dad, all the way to helping launch titanium-bar milling on Datron (https://www.datron.com/) D5 machines, Jordan's journey hits every corner of digital dentistry's evolution. He breaks down what CAM actually does in the simplest possible terms (yes, even Elvis-level simple), explains the magic behind toolpaths, tools, post-processors, and how HyperDent “drives the car” for hundreds of different mills. You'll hear how materials get validated, why some ideas labs come up with are physically impossible, and why you should ALWAYS talk to your CAM provider before releasing new materials or components into the world. Jordan also shares a behind-the-scenes look at solving problems like angulated screw channels, milling lithium disilicate pucks, and HyperDent's upcoming work on milled dentures—including Ivoclar's Ivotion processes coming to open CAM. Whether you mill every day or still think CAM is just “putting a crown in a puck,” Jordan demystifies it all with humor, honesty, and more tech insights than we've ever had on the podcast at once. * Dental Labs—The Ivoclar (https://www.ivoclar.com/en_us) Flash Sale Is On! * From November 3rd to 14th, Ivoclar is bringing you unbeatable deals on the equipment that will set your lab up for success in 2026. * Upgrade your mill, your furnace, or expand your workflow—and save big while doing it! * Plus, when you purchase a milling machine (https://www.ivoclar.com/en_us/products/product-list?page=1&limit=12&filters=%5B%7B%22id%22%3A%22professions%22%2C%22advancedFilter%22%3Afalse%2C%22values%22%3A%5B%22Lab%22%5D%7D%2C%7B%22id%22%3A%22categories%22%2C%22advancedFilter%22%3Afalse%2C%22value%22%3A%22Digital%20Equipment%22%7D%5D), you'll get delivery, installation, and training—all included.

Elvis and Barb are gearing up for their chat with the HyperDent Dude himself, Jordan Greenberg from FOLLOW-ME! Technology (https://www.follow-me-tech.com/). At LabFest, Elvis found out that every hyperDENT (https://www.follow-me-tech.com/hyperdent/) license comes with Template Editor Lite — a built-in feature that lets you make safe, customized tweaks to your milling strategies. Whether you want to prioritize surface quality or speed, this tool gives you the control to fine-tune your results while FOLLOW-ME! keeps everything validated and reliable. Because in the end, us lab techs love to tinker — and hyperDENT makes it easy to choose your own CAM-venture. Year-end chaos is here.

Episode DescriptionIn this episode of the Lead Ministry Podcast, Josh Denhart and Vance Martin unpack the VIP Huddle—an intentional 5–10 minute pre-service gathering designed to align volunteers around Vision, essential Information, and Prayer. They share practical rhythms that make huddles unmissable and show how these moments become a training ground for future leaders. If you've ever felt like pre-service meetings are stale or poorly attended, this episode will equip and inspire you to design huddles people value—and won't want to miss.Key Topics CoveredVIP Defined (Vision • Information • Prayer) – A simple framework that scales across ministries. Make It Worth Showing Up – Why attendance is feedback, and how to add real value. God-Stories as Vision Fuel – Capture, curate, and share weekly stories of transformation. Information that Sticks – One timely reminder beats a five-item list. Prayer that Fits the Moment – Use “one-word needs” to keep prayer focused and inclusive. Start and End on Time – Honor volunteers, build culture, and train leaders by modeling brevity. Key Quote“Be brief, brother, be brief… one vision thing, one piece of information, and heartfelt prayer.” Scripture ReferencesHebrews 10:24–25 – “And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works… encouraging one another.”1 Peter 1:12–13 (cf. 2 Peter 1:12–13 principle) – “I intend always to remind you… to stir you up by way of reminder.”Colossians 4:2 – “Continue steadfastly in prayer, being watchful in it with thanksgiving.”TakeawayTreat the huddle as the most strategic 10 minutes of your Sunday. Share one clear vision, one crucial detail, and pray with intention. Capture God-stories, schedule topics ahead, and invite others to lead parts of the huddle. The result: volunteers feel seen, aligned, and ready to serve.Call to ActionWe hope this episode encourages and equips you.

Der Strafbefehl gegen Karim Adeyemi wegen illegalen Waffenbesitzes sorgt für Aufregung bei Borussia Dortmund. Zudem kommt nach den spielerisch zuletzt enttäuschenden Auftritten Kritik an Niko Kovac auf. Macht der Trainer den BVB nachhaltig besser? Gespannt blicken die Fans auf das kommende Wochenende. Dann steht neben dem Heimspiel gegen den VfB Stuttgart auch die Mitgliederversammlung an, bei der sich Hans-Joachim Watzke zum Präsidenten wählen lassen will. Aber wie will er den e.V. und die KGaA versöhnen? Außerdem: Was wird aus den Youngstern beim BVB? Filippo Mane, Cole Campbell, Almugera Kabar stecken in der Sackgasse. Verliert Schwarzgelb seinen guten Ruf als Talenteschmiede? Über all das spricht Moderator Hansi Küpper mit den Reportern Jürgen Koers und Cedric Gebhardt.

“Life is 10% what happens to you and 90% how you choose to see it.”In this week's episode of The BraveHearted Woman Podcast, let me invite midlife women to examine the “lenses” through which they view life. Using my vivid rose-colored glasses analogy, this is a reminder for you that our outlook determines our peace, joy, and spiritual strength. With honesty and warmth, she shares biblical truths, personal stories of resilience, and two life-changing principles: your attitude is your power, and your inner story determines your outcome. This heartfelt message challenges every woman to replace negativity with faith, choose gratitude over grumbling, and see life through God's victorious perspective.Timestamps:0:00 - Intro2:00 - Rose-colored lens VS dark-pair sunglasses3:54 - The power of choice5:50 - How to reframe negativity8:49 - 2 truth for joy and peace13:37 - How to take actionQuotations:“Your joy and peace follow the decision to believe you are an overcomer.”“Every negative thought is an invitation to tell yourself a better story.”“When you change your perspective, you change your peace.”“The story you tell yourself shapes the woman you become.”“Even in midlife, you can rewrite your narrative and step into joy.”Resources:

Ari Paparo sits down with Sergio Serra, PM Lead for RTB Fabric at AWS, to explore how Amazon is transforming the foundations of programmatic advertising. They break down how RTB Fabric eliminates data egress costs, improves latency through deterministic routing, and introduces a per-billion transaction model built specifically for ad tech. Recorded at Marketecture, this conversation reveals how AWS is creating purpose-built infrastructure for SSPs and DSPs, the power of modular services like real-time throttling and OpenRTB filtering, and why Fabric might redefine the economics of ad exchanges. Takeaways RTB Fabric removes the dual tax of data egress and load balancing costs. Deterministic availability zone routing cuts latency and boosts reliability. Built-in modules add rate limiting, filtering, and error masking without extra cost. The pricing model aligns with ad tech's transaction-based economics. AWS is opening Fabric beyond its own backbone, allowing external connectivity.

Pastor Scott Crabtree | Sunday Evening, November 16, 2025

Jey Uso picked up a big win over The Miz, which sparked discussion about why Miz—Cena's most frequent opponent—wasn't included in the legend's retirement tour. Meanwhile, Rusev stunned Damien Priest, and Matt Cardona (formerly Zack Ryder) made his surprise return as a mystery challenger before falling to LA Knight, just as #FBCBeKnowin predicted. Is Cardona officially on his way back to WWE? Sheamus toppled Nakamura, while upcoming matches include GUNTHER vs. Je'Von Evans and Solo Sikoa vs. a mystery opponent on Raw, plus Carmelo Hayes vs. Bronson Reed and Penta vs. Finn Balor on SmackDown. The crew debates who got “snubbed” from the tournament after Cena captured the Intercontinental Championship to become a certified Grand Slam Champion. Attention then turns to Survivor Series War Games, with predictions nearly finalized. Team Punk—CM Punk, Cody Rhodes, The Usos, and a mystery partner—are slated to face The Vision's crew of Bron Breakker, Bronson Reed, Logan Paul, Drew McIntyre, and another TBA. Bang's bold call: Damien Priest joins Team Punk while Aleister Black aligns with The Vision. Could Lesnar and Reigns return to shake up the card? And more importantly… do we care? Women's War Games is heating up as Nikki Bella's shocking heel turn against Stephanie Vaquer sets the stage: Rhea Ripley, Iyo Sky, Alexa Bliss, and two TBD teammates take on Nia Jax, Lash Legend, and The Kabuki Warriors. Meanwhile, SmackDown may stage a classic 5-on-5 Survivor Series Elimination match featuring MFT versus Sami Zayn, Rey Fenix, Nakamura, and The Motor City Machine Guns.

Crown Ignorant Kings — Reclaiming Truth, Authority, and the KingdomWhat if ignorance isn't an insult—but a wake-up call?In this unapologetically bold podcast, we challenge the misunderstood meaning of “ignorance” and uncover how misinformation, withheld truth, and spiritual misdirection have robbed humanity of its divine inheritance. Here, truth isn't just facts—it's original, eternal knowledge that transcends the senses.We delve into the profound message that every human being was created as a king, not by gender, but by divine authority. Through powerful revelations, we explore why God came in human form: to restore what was lost, to reconnect us to the Kingdom, and to reclaim the crowns forfeited through disobedience. This isn't your typical Gospel conversation. We go beyond “What Would Jesus Do” and ask the real question: What Did Jesus Say? Because the true Good News isn't just about the cross—it's about the crown beyond it. Join us as we confront spiritual misconceptions, awaken dormant authority, and do the work to Crown Ignorant Kings—one truth at a time. Now, Let's Adjust Our Crowns!Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/crowning-ignorant-kings--2714790/support.Crowning Ignorant Kings: The Online Kingdom AcademyFollow this FREE plan to gather the resources that you need to learn more about experiencing the Kingdom of God on earth.Crowning Ignorant Kings: BLOGCrowning Ignorant Kings: The Kingdom AcademyCrowning Ignorant Kings: Online Community

Ein neuer Sonntag, eine neue Folge. Ihr wisst ja vielleicht, dass ich 2022 in den FC Viktoria Berlin investiert habe. Ein Fußballverein, in dem sich das Frauenteam auf eigene Beine gestellt hat. 6 Gründerinnen haben das Projekt an den Start gebracht, um zu zeigen, dass Frauenfußball auch anders kann, wenn er nur die richtige Unterstützung und Liebe erfährt, die er verdient. Heute geht es nicht um die Entstehung, um das Why oder das Wie - das habe ich schon mal mit Verena Pausder besprochen. Hört gerne dafür in Folge 60 rein. Heute geht es um den nächsten fetten, fetten Schritt, den der Verein gemacht hat: es geht um das Investment des Monarch Collectives in Viktoria. Das ist ein von Frauen gegründeter und geführter US-Fond und dieses Investment ist das erste US Growth Investment in den deutschen Frauenfußball. Für mich (das habe ich ausführlich in meinem LinkedIn Post geschrieben), ist das eine Form der Korrektur, von Empowerment und Rebellion, weil Frauenfußball war gesetzlich in Deutschland verboten von 1955-1970, während in dieser Zeit intensiv in den Fußball der Männer investiert und dieser florieren und wachsen konnte. Dass Investoren nicht allen Fußballfans schmeckt, besprechen wir heute auch, außerdem über die neu ausgegründete DFL der Frauen, über die aktuelle Kreuzband-Epidemie und die große Vision für den FC Viktoria. Ich hab's geliebt. Ihr hoffentlich auch. Und kommt unbedingt mal zu einem Spiel vorbei. Vielleicht treffen wir uns ja

WARREN CUMMINGS and I, perhaps unwisely, try to analyse some TV comedy.First broadcast on FAB RADIO INTERNATIONAL at 19:00 on November 16th 2025.This week, in a show we recorded earlier in the autumn just as VISION ON SOUND returned from its summer hiatus, I welcome back WARREN CUMMINGS once again, and we took the opportunity to delve deep into an area that is always a little bit outside my personal comfort zone, as we tackle the tricky little matter of television comedy in as analytical a way as we are capable of, as we consider whether or not some of the recognised classics from the archives are as enjoyable as we like to believe they are.This was prompted by me picking up a bit of MONTY PYTHON on DVD and finding some of it to be “difficult” to watch, and WARREN throws the somewhat problematical nature of some of SPIKE MILLIGAN's television work into the mix, before we move into a broader consideration of the comedy of a different time.Over the course of this hour we'll also touch upon some radio comedy, some TV sitcoms, and the work of metaphorical comedy giants such as PETER COOK and DUDLEY MOORE, as well as talking rather fondly about shows like ALEXEI SAYLE's STUFF, VIC REEVES' BIG NIGHT OUT, THE YOUNG ONES and the more recent work of DIANE MORGAN whose PHILOMENA CUNK is one of the more successful recent comedy creations.PLEASE NOTE - For Copyright reasons, musical content sometimes has to be removed for the podcast edition. All the spoken word content remains (mostly) as it was in the broadcast version. Hopefully this won't spoil your enjoyment of the show.

In this episode, Colleen walks us through a coaching moment that captures what emotional sobriety really means: shifting from self-criticism and control into vision and alignment. When one client arrived overwhelmed and focused on what her partner wasn't doing, the breakthrough came when she identified who she wanted to be — positive and powerful. From there, everything changed. Colleen unpacks how to train the brain to serve your vision instead of your fear, why alignment between mind and body is the true foundation of change, and how to stop letting your thoughts drain your energy. You'll learn what it means to "stop, drop, and feel," and how this simple practice brings you back to your power when you're spiraling in stress or self-doubt.

Alidad Hamidi: When Product Owners Facilitate Vision Instead of Owning It Read the full Show Notes and search through the world's largest audio library on Agile and Scrum directly on the Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast website: http://bit.ly/SMTP_ShowNotes. The Great Product Owner: Co-Creating Vision Through Discovery "The best product owner I worked with was not a product owner, but a project manager. And she didn't realize that she's acting as a product owner." - Alidad Hamidi   The irony wasn't lost on Alidad. The best Product Owner he ever worked with didn't have "Product Owner" in her title—she was a project manager who didn't even realize she was acting in that capacity. The team was working on a strategic project worth millions, but confusion reigned about what value they were creating. Alidad planned an inception workshop to create alignment among stakeholders, marketing, operations, advisors, and the team.   Twenty minutes into the session, Alidad asked a simple question: "How do we know the customer has this problem, and they're gonna pay for it?" Silence. No one knew. To her immense credit, the project manager didn't retreat or deflect. Instead, she jumped in: "What do we need to do?" Alidad suggested assumptions mapping, and two days later, the entire team and stakeholders gathered for the workshop. What happened next was magic. "She didn't become a proxy," Alidad emphasizes. She didn't say, "I'll go find out and come back to you." Instead, she brought everyone together—team, stakeholders, and customers—into the same room.   The results were dramatic. The team was about to invest millions integrating with an external vendor. Through the assumption mapping workshop, they uncovered huge risks and realized customers didn't actually want that solution. "We need to pivot," she declared. Instead of the expensive integration, they developed educational modules and scripts for customer support and advisors. The team sat with advisors, listening to actual customer calls, creating solutions based on real needs rather than assumptions. The insight transformed not just the project but the project manager herself. She took these discovery practices across the entire organization, teaching everyone how to conduct proper discovery and fundamentally shifting the product development paradigm. One person, willing to facilitate rather than dictate, made this impact. "Product owner can facilitate creation of that [vision]," Alidad explains. "It's not just product owner or a team. It's the broader stakeholder and customer community that need to co-create that."   Self-reflection Question: Are you facilitating the creation of vision with your stakeholders and customers, or are you becoming a proxy between the team and the real sources of insight? The Bad Product Owner: Creating Barriers Instead of Connections "He did the opposite, just creating barriers between the team and the environment." - Alidad Hamidi   The Product Owner was new to the organization, technically skilled, and genuinely well-intentioned. The team was developing solutions for clinicians—complex healthcare work requiring deep domain understanding. Being new, the PO naturally leaned into his strength: technical expertise. He spent enormous amounts of time with the team, drilling into details, specifying exactly how everything should look, and giving the team ready-made solutions instead of problems to solve.   Alidad kept telling him: "Mate, you need to spend more time with our stakeholder, you need to understand their perspective." But the PO didn't engage with users or stakeholders. He stayed comfortable in his technical wheelhouse, designing solutions in isolation. The results were predictable and painful. Halfway through work, the PO would realize, "Oh, we really don't need that." Or worse, the team would complete something and deliver it to crickets—no one used it because no one wanted it. "Great person, but it created a really bad dynamic," Alidad reflects. What should have been the PO's job—understanding the environment, stakeholder needs, and market trends—never happened. Instead of putting people in front of the environment to learn and adapt, he created barriers between the team and reality.   Years later, Alidad's perspective has matured. He initially resented this PO but came to realize: "He was just being human, and he didn't have the right support and the environment for him." Sometimes people learn only after making mistakes. The coaching opportunity isn't to shame or blame but to focus on reflection from failures and supporting learning. Alidad encouraged forums with stakeholders where the PO and team could interact directly, seeing each other's work and constraints. The goal isn't perfection—it's creating conditions where Product Owners can connect teams to customers rather than standing between them.   Self-reflection Question: What barriers might you be unintentionally creating between your team and the customers or stakeholders they need to serve, and what would it take to remove yourself from the middle?   [The Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast Recommends]
