SUMMARY: In this lively episode, Terryn and Aaron dive into the dynamic tension between visionaries and operators in the world of business. The duo explores how the differing perceptions of time and execution create a "time-space continuum" that can either fuel success or spark chaos. From the visionary's lightning-fast ideas to the operator's methodical planning, they unpack real-world examples—like a client meeting earlier that day—where these two mindsets collide. The conversation covers the pitfalls of rushing ideas to market, especially in the online education space, and the importance of balancing speed with quality to avoid burnout and brand damage. With practical insights, like using bullet points for visionaries and asking “What can I stop doing?” to prioritize, Terryn and Aaron offer strategies for fostering collaboration between these essential roles. They even entertain the idea of a "SWAT team" for quick-turnaround projects, ensuring visionaries get their dopamine hit without derailing the operation. Tune in for a blend of humor, relatable stories, and actionable advice to bridge the gap between big ideas and flawless execution.

In this episode of The Nonprofit Exchange, I had the pleasure of speaking with my longtime friend and brilliant leader, Barry O'Cotell. We explored the theme of "Bringing Unity Through Deeper Conversations," focusing on his innovative board game, Conversations, which he created to facilitate meaningful dialogue among people. Barry shared his journey of over 30 years in helping individuals clear subconscious blocks that hinder authentic communication. He described how the game encourages players to move beyond small talk and engage in what he calls "soul talk," fostering genuine connections. Launched 20 years ago, the game has been played worldwide, helping people discover similarities rather than differences, ultimately promoting unity. We discussed the various levels of conversation, including self-awareness and empathic listening, and how the game creates a safe space for vulnerability. Barry emphasized the importance of listening to understand rather than to respond, which can transform interactions and relationships. Throughout our conversation, Barry shared inspiring stories of transformation, including how the game has helped individuals and groups connect on a deeper level, leading to renewed relationships and even marriages. He highlighted the significance of personal growth for leaders and how our communication styles shape the culture around us. Barry also introduced his nonprofit organization, Visionaries of Light, aimed at fostering deeper connections in communities. He shared details about their monthly gatherings and the vision for a Conversations app to facilitate meaningful exchanges. As we wrapped up, Barry left us with a powerful reminder: "You do make a difference in how people experience their lives." This episode serves as a call to action for all of us to engage in deeper conversations and contribute to a more connected world. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

What's up, dudes? CM Chuck from Just Another Friday Night and Jeff Loftin from Lost Christmas join me to talk about '80s action cartoons we wish had Christmas episodes! From Transformers to GoBots, from Voltron to M.A.S.K., these cartoons delivered action and adventure to the max! Unfortunately, they also left out the holiday cheer. Many of these cartoons were epic, leaving us wondering why they didn't include a Christmas themed episode. In fact, a few even had comic Christmas issues in the UK. We get into and pitch ideas for Transformers, Thundercats, M.A.S.K., COPS, TMNT, Voltron, Dungeons & Dragons, SilverHawks, Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors, GoBots, Captain N, Visionaries, Thundarr, Inhumanoids, and Dino • Riders! And that's just to start with! There will definitely be future episodes on this topic.Ice and snow episodes? Check. Other holiday themed episodes? Got 'em. '80s Christmas action? Nope. Not even a little. So grab your blaster, hop in your transforming vehicle, and fight along to this episode on '80s action cartoons we wish had Christmas episodes!

https://youtu.be/0SSL_XThHdQ Podcast audio: A new ARI podcast series gives you a window into ARI's educational programs by showcasing our faculty as they discuss books of recent interest. The series, the ARI Bookshelf, premiered on August 6 with an episode discussing Wolfram Eilenberger's book The Visionaries. Panelists included Ben Bayer, Jason Rheins, Greg Salmieri, and Shoshana Milgram. The visionaries of the book's title are four mid-twentieth century female philosophers: Simone de Beauvoir, Hannah Arendt, Simone Weil, and Ayn Rand. Through interweaving biographies of these four figures, the book aims to show, as its subtitle puts it, “the power of philosophy in dark times.” According to Ben Bayer, “this was a very interesting book to read, especially because of the kind of novelistic quality of it, where you're not just reading about their ideas, but you're seeing what's happening in their lives […] against the backdrop of some pretty dramatic geopolitical events of the period.” Among the topics covered: Panelists' general takes on the book; How Simone Weil's philosophy causes her to martyr herself; The thematic unity of the four figures; The significance of the four figures being women; The book's sloppy treatment and misrepresentation of Rand; How the book whitewashes evil; Why the book may be worth reading. The video premiered on August 6, 2024.

Key Takeaways-launching new projects or contracts, it's essential to accept that the first iteration will often require custom, non-scalable solutions. -During the brainstorming process, it's crucial to recognize the people and resources available to you. -Visionaries often focus on future goals, which can lead to disconnects with present realities. Acknowledging the current state of your business and the need for tailored solutions can help bridge this gap and facilitate progress.-Building a new part of your business may involve trial and error. By creating an initial prototype or custom solution, you can later optimize and scale it as the processes and systems become clearer.-Entrepreneurs may limit their creativity by insisting on scalability from the start. It's important to allow for flexibility and experimentation in the early stages of development to unlock potential ideas and solutions.Connect with Katie:Website: https://katierichardson.com/CASE STUDIES: https://now.katierichardson.com/casestudyLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/katie-richardson-creatorApple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/whats-working-now/id1515291698BuzzSprout: https://www.buzzsprout.com/1847280Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/2kV8cL7eTZ70UAXMOtcBbrNewsletter: https://now.katierichardson.com/newsletter
