Kelly talks to Gary Noesner, a legendary agent who changed the way hostage negotiation was taught and implemented at the FBI. His book is “Stalling for Time: My Life as an FBI Hostage Negotiator” “Before we can influence others we must first listen and understand.”  “Listening is the cheapest concession we can ever make.”  “Managing a […]

In this episode of Exploring Humanity Through Sci-Fi, we dive into the eerie brilliance of two modern horror auteurs: Robert Eggers and Zach Cregger. Though their paths to filmmaking couldn't be more different—Eggers from the brooding world of theater, Cregger from the irreverent heights of sketch comedy—they've each carved out unforgettable spaces in the genre. We trace Eggers' evolution from designing stage productions to crafting atmospheric nightmares like The Witch, The Lighthouse, and The Northman, culminating in his upcoming reimagining of Nosferatu. Meanwhile, Cregger's pivot from Whitest Kids U Know to the twisted psychological terrain of Barbarian reveals a filmmaker unafraid to weaponize the familiar—turning domestic rituals into sites of dread.

In this week's episode of Better Business, Better Life, host Debra Chantry-Taylor dives into a challenge many visionaries face, having too many brilliant ideas and not enough follow-through. With energy and insight, she unpacks how constant pivots and unfinished projects can create chaos, overwhelm teams, and stall real progress. Debra shares how the right mix of focus, data, and discipline can turn that visionary energy into lasting results. She explores the power of committing to just 3–7 priorities per quarter, using an integrator to filter and execute ideas, and building a scorecard that predicts the health of your business, not just reports on the past. Through real-world success stories, including one business that boosted revenue by 20% while reducing workloads, Debra shows how less really can be more. She highlights practical tools like the Eisenhower matrix, clarity breaks, and leading indicators to help visionaries lead with confidence and reduce anxiety. If you've ever felt like your ideas are running ahead of your team or your sanity, this episode will show you how to channel your creativity, trust your data, and build a business that grows without the chaos. CONNECT WITH DEBRA:         ___________________________________________         ►Debra Chantry-Taylor is a Certified EOS Implementer | Entrepreneurial Leadership & Business Coach | Business Owner ►Connect with Debra: ⁠debra@businessaction.com.au ⁠ ►See how she can help you: https://businessaction.co.nz/       ____________________________________________          Episode 235 Chapters:    00:29 – Introduction 00:00 – Visionaries and Their Impact on Businesses   02:04 – The Visionary Trap and Whiplash Culture   03:11 – The Role of Data in Providing Freedom and Clarity   06:49 – Strategies for Managing Visionary Energy   10:39 – Implementing Idea Filters and Delegation   14:25 – Embracing Data and Scorecards for Growth   

The transformative power of forgiveness, not only reveals great emotional benefits but it also has a profound impact on brain health. In today's episode, Lori highlights the three key brain systems activated during forgiveness: the empathy network, the coping control center, and the decision-making hub. These systems work together to foster resilience, improve relationships, and navigate life's challenges with greater wisdom. By choosing to forgive, we not only protect our emotional health but also safeguard our cognitive function for the future.

Just like everything that we say that we want from others, we'd do well to check in with ourselves to see if we bring this to the table. With regards to commitment, I speak about checking in with ourselves to see what our level of commitment is in our lives as a whole. Walking the walk and not just talking the talk is a huge part of living life with integrity, in alignment with your values.I also speak about marketing and how so much of it is based on manipulation and dark psychology.This was a private teaching video for my community called The Visionaries, but I wanted to share it here as well.—Leigh-Anne LoPinto is a visionary of the new paradigm of relationships.

In today's episode, Kevin and Alan open up about their lifelong struggles with belonging and how being different has shaped their identities, careers, and relationships. They talk through what it's like to feel out of place in everyday situations, the pain of being misunderstood, and the choice to pursue growth even when it costs connection.

Trying harder might not be working! In this week's episode I present a powerful metaphor for human potential through the story of a fly trapped against a windowpane. How many of us become like that fly, exerting effort in the wrong direction instead of seeking new paths to freedom. I encourage you to recognize your own invisible barriers and explore alternative approaches rather than simply pushing harder.  Ultimately, today's conversation serves as a powerful reminder that our open doors are waiting for us, and the most courageous thing we can do is to stop trying harder and start trying differently.

WHAT YOU'LL LEARN FROM THE EPISODE The breakthrough isn't about trying harder, it's in trying something new. Sustainable success is not about exhausting ourselves in the pursuit of achievement but rather about enjoying the journey and learning to celebrate challenges along the way. Real transformation requires us to step away from what feels comfortable and explore new possibilities. The importance of recognizing that avoiding certain conversations, skills, or opportunities could prevent us from experiencing tremendous fulfillment.

Kelly connects with Telle Whitney, who has logged decades in Silicon Valley’s tech industry.

Episode Description: In this special episode of On Stage, two extraordinary leaders—General Mark Milley, the recently retired Chair of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and Ted Leonsis, Founder and CEO of Monumental Sports & Entertainment—sit down for a powerful and wide-ranging conversation about leadership, culture, and service. Recorded on October 30, 2024, at SBJ's Dealmakers conference in Washington, D.C., this fireside chat explores what it means to lead during times of transformation—whether you're guiding a nation's military or a multibillion-dollar sports and media empire. Topics include: The Mindset of Service: What business can learn from military leadership and accountability. Culture and Cohesion: Building organizations that are values-driven and mission-focused. Decision-Making Under Pressure: Lessons from global conflict and billion-dollar business moments. Patriotism and Purpose: Why service—military or civic—still matters in today's fractured world. Shared Responsibility: How sports, media, and government all play a role in shaping the future. It's a rare and candid discussion between two leaders who've spent decades making consequential decisions—at the highest levels of two very different arenas.

Madhavan Ramanujam is the world's foremost expert on pricing and monetization strategy. As managing partner at Simon-Kucher, he helped over 250 companies, including 30 unicorns, architect their pricing strategies. He's the author of the definitive book on pricing, Monetizing Innovation. Now he's back with a sequel, Scaling Innovation, which reveals how to build enduring businesses by dominating both market share and wallet share. He recently left Simon-Kucher to launch his own fund, 49 Palms, focused on helping early-stage AI companies.In this conversation, we discuss:1. The 2x2 framework that identifies your optimal pricing model2. Why AI companies can capture 25% to 50% of value created, vs. 10% to 20% for traditional SaaS products3. Why popular AI coding tools may have already doomed themselves with underpricing4. The “give-and-get” framework top negotiators use to extract maximum value from every deal5. The negotiation strategy that helped one founder 4x their deal size overnight6. How to frame POCs as “business case creation” instead of technical demos (and why this changes everything)7. Why AI companies must get monetization right from day one—not “figure it out later”8. How companies like Intercom's Fin and Sierra pioneered outcome-based pricing (charging $0.99 per AI resolution)9.

Many of us have experienced moments where we feel empty or unseen, despite doing everything we think is right. In this enlightening episode, we uncover the sneaky little thief that lives within us, SELF BETRAYAL and how it manifests in our lives. Self-betrayal often arises from societal pressures and expectations. We may find ourselves conforming to what others want us to be, silencing our true selves in the process. This behavior can lead to significant costs, including loss of sleep, creativity, and even our voices. The more we betray ourselves, the more we forget what we truly desire, leading us to question, “Whose life is this?” It's time to break free from self-betrayal and embrace the joy that is rightfully yours.

Acts 2:14-21 ESV  14 But Peter, standing with the eleven, lifted up his voice and addressed them: “Men of Judea and all who dwell in Jerusalem, let this be known to you, and give ear to my words. 15 For these people are not drunk, as you suppose, since it is only the third hour of the day. 16 But this is what was uttered through the prophet Joel: 17 “‘And in the last days it shall be, God declares, that I will pour out my Spirit on all flesh, and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams; 18 even on my male servants and female servants in those days I will pour out my Spirit, and they shall prophesy. 19 And I will show wonders in the heavens above and signs on the earth below, blood, and fire, and vapor of smoke; 20 the sun shall be turned to darkness and the moon to blood, before the day of the Lord comes, the great and magnificent day. 21 And it shall come to pass that everyone who calls upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.'
