This week, Jake and Bob are joined by Teresa Pitt Green, co-founder of Spirit Fire, a ministry dedicated to “facilitating healing dialogue among those wounded by abuse in the Roman Catholic Church.” Teresa shares her own story of healing from abuse, the challenges she experienced, and what she learned along the way. She also shares practical advice to help priests approach conversations with survivors, common mistakes to avoid, and insights into the complexity of what it's like to heal from abuse. Ultimately, it is Jesus who heals, and He can use whatever we have to offer to bring about restoration in the Church and her members.  If you are experiencing or have experienced abuse of any kind, we encourage you to reach out to Teresa or check out her resources on Spirit Fire's website.   Key Points: Navigating conversations with survivors of abuse requires sensitivity and receptivity For many survivors of clergy abuse, there is little distinction between priests and abusers  Healing from abuse is an ongoing journey, it isn't something someone can just “get over” If someone approaches you about abuse, be careful to listen and not judge their experiences Even if we make a mistake in our approach to a conversation, God can still work through that moment. He is the one who is ultimately doing the healing work The journey of healing is complex and nonlinear   Resources: Spirit Fire's Website   Connect with Restore the Glory:  Instagram: @restoretheglorypodcast  Twitter: @RestoreGloryPod Facebook: Restore the Glory Podcast   Never miss out on an episode by hitting the subscribe button right now!

Data scientists can often find themselves in a frustrating cycle - meticulously executing stakeholder requests only to discover what they delivered isn't what was actually needed. The disconnect between what stakeholders ask for and what truly solves their problems can derail projects and limit advancement of your career.In this episode, Bill Shander joins Dr. Genevieve Hayes to reveal the "Stakeholder Whispering" approach from his new book - a methodology that transforms technical experts from order-takers into strategic partners who uncover and address true business needs.This conversation reveals:Why stakeholders struggle to articulate what they truly need (and often don't even know themselves) [06:32]How the "Socratic method" creates breakthrough moments that help stakeholders discover their own requirements [11:00]The six-question framework that strategically alternates between divergent and convergent thinking to reveal hidden needs [14:54]Why approaching stakeholder conversations like a curious investigator rather than a cross-examiner builds trust and uncovers deeper insights [13:28]Guest BioBill Shander is the founder of Beehive Media, a data visualisation and information design consultancy.

Unlocking the Future of Smart Home Technology: Insights from Hagan Kappler, CEO of DaisyIn this episode of The Thoughtful Entrepreneur, host Josh Elledge welcomes Hagan Kappler, the founder and CEO of Daisy, a company on a mission to redefine smart home and small business technology services. Hagan shares how Daisy is creating a national brand in an otherwise fragmented industry—one that offers not just installation, but also consistent, long-term support.Whether you're a consumer seeking a better smart home experience or an entrepreneur interested in franchise ownership, this conversation uncovers the technology trends, business models, and growth opportunities shaping the future of connected living.Redefining Smart Home Services Through Standardization and SupportAs the smart home market continues to expand—now exceeding $30 billion in the U.S. alone—it still faces serious fragmentation. Many technology contractors are small, local operators with deep product knowledge but limited business infrastructure. Hagan Kappler launched Daisy to solve this problem by offering a platform where talented installers can operate under one cohesive, national brand with the support they need to scale.Daisy provides solutions ranging from home audio and visual systems to smart lighting, security, motorized shades, and fully integrated control panels.

Unlike typical one-off installations, Daisy ensures homeowners, builders, and property managers receive continual updates, maintenance, and training—maximizing the longevity and effectiveness of their smart systems.For small business owners, Daisy's franchise model opens doors. Entrepreneurs can either start a new operation, convert an existing business, or acquire a company, all while receiving centralized support in operations, marketing, customer service, and technology. It's a win-win: customers enjoy trusted expertise, and franchisees get to grow under a brand backed by national reach.About Hagan KapplerHagan Kappler is the founder and CEO of Daisy, the first national brand in smart space installation and services. Previously, she served as CEO of Threshold Brands, leading nine service businesses across 550+ locations. Hagan has held leadership roles with ServiceMaster Clean, Merry Maids, and Ingersoll Rand/Trane, and began her career at McKinsey & Company and Goldman Sachs. She also helped launch Starbucks Blonde Roast. Hagan holds a bachelor's in history from Williams College and an MBA from the University of Virginia's Darden School.

The fiscal year 2026 proposed hospice rule brings cautious optimism to providers with a projected 2.4% payment increase, though experienced hospices know to factor in the ongoing 2% sequestration when calculating their bottom line. For those who've long struggled with regulatory inconsistencies, this rule delivers welcome clarification on who can certify hospice eligibility, aligning payment regulations with Conditions of Participation after years of confusion.Most significantly, CMS confirms the HOPE assessment tool will launch on October 1, 2025, as scheduled. Despite earlier speculation about potential delays, hospices should maintain implementation momentum, with CMS planning one final training session this summer. Face-to-face attestation requirements also receive much-needed clarification, potentially reducing one of the top reasons for claim denials.Beyond operational updates, CMS seeks provider input through several Requests for Information. They're exploring digital quality measurement using FHIR-based reporting, considering new quality measures around well-being and nutrition, and looking for opportunities to streamline regulations and reduce administrative burden. This represents a genuine opportunity for hospice providers to shape future requirements.The relatively slim 62-page rule contains consequential changes that demand attention. Providers should thoroughly review the complete document, evaluate potential financial impacts, coordinate with state and national associations on comments, and ensure staff education aligns with the clarified regulations. With the comment period closing June 10 and the final rule expected in early August, the time to prepare is now. Let your voice be heard on these important changes that will influence hospice care delivery and reimbursement for years to come.Visit our websiteConnect with us - LinkedIn, Twitter, YouTube, FacebookMake Lives Better

This week, we're diving into a debut thriller that's frothy, funny, and unhinged in the best way. Liann Zhang joins me for a laugh-out-loud conversation about her new novel, Julie Chan Is Dead—a genre-blending con-artist thriller about identical twin sisters whose lives split in dramatically different directions… until one of them winds up dead.When the authorities mistake Julie for her famous sister, she makes a bold choice: to step into Chloe's perfectly curated shoes and steal her life. What follows is a fast-paced, satirical exploration of influencer culture, viral content, and the dark side of social media fame.In the spirit of the influencer theme, we share the most bizarre influencer swag we've ever received before digging into how a pandemic-fueled fascination with influencer culture allowed Liann to take a break from her dreams of writing about the Ming Dynasty.We also talk about what it's like to write a morally murky protagonist, the grotesque cult subplot that takes things to the next level, and why this book just might be Bunny meets Yellowface with a touch of The Bling Ring.In this fun conversation, Liann and I discuss:How Liann pivoted from writing about the Ming Dynasty to a con-artist thrillerWhy influencer culture during the pandemic was the perfect satirical settingCreating the character of Julie: an intriguing anti-heroine who fully leans into her morally gray side.The ongoing need for critical consumption of influencer content

Journalist Claire Hoffman unpacks Sister, Sinner, the gripping true crime story of evangelist Aimee Semple McPherson's disappearance and miraculous return.If you've never heard the name, Aimee Semple McPherson, you're not alone—but Claire Hoffman's Sister Sinner will ensure you never forget her name again as America's first mega-preacher.Today, we discuss this riveting biography, which opens with the astonishing true story of Aimee, who shaped modern evangelicalism, vanished into the ocean for 35 days, and returned with a kidnapping tale so wild it led to two sensational trials.The author was the first researcher granted access to the complete court records of Aimee's grand jury trial—records that, for more than a century, the Foursquare Church has refused to share with the outside world.Uncover her journalistic approach, which is both deeply researched and refreshingly secular. Embracing Aimee's contradictions—faith healer and showman, sinner and saint, feminist and fundamentalist creates a page-turning experience. Whether religious or not, you'll love this conversation on how charisma, celebrity, and faith collide.In this intimate and insightful conversation, Claire and I discuss:Her background and five-year research process to bring Aimee's story to lifeWhy Aimee's disappearance is the opening chapter, and what type of reader did she hope the true crime angle might pull inHow Claire's background as a journalist for Rolling Stone has given her a unique lens into the world of what it means to be a celebrityThe effort and reverence required when accessing court documents like this for a project

How can radical transparency redefine leadership in architecture?In this episode of Practice Disrupted, Evelyn Lee reconnects with Robert Yuen, CEO and co-founder of Monograph, to explore what he calls radical transparency - a bold leadership approach that challenges firm owners to rethink how they share information, build trust, and lead with clarity. Drawing on his experience building a tech company tailored for architecture firms, Robert brings a refreshingly candid perspective on money, management, and culture in practice.The conversation dives into why many firm leaders are hesitant to talk about financial performance, pay, and project metrics—and how that fear contributes to stress, misalignment, and missed opportunities. Robert makes the case that leaders can (and should) develop cultures of openness, where accountability is shared, and trust becomes a competitive advantage. From pay equity to overtime, profit sharing to performance metrics, he explains why transparency isn't just good ethics—it's good business.Together, Evelyn and Robert also explore what defines effective leadership today. They contrast outdated models centered on authority and control with modern approaches rooted in empathy, delegation, and adaptability. Robert shares how Monograph is using AI to reduce time spent on repetitive tasks and empower architects to better manage their work—and their businesses.“I believe that if you're not transparent about how the business is doing, you're putting all the pressure on yourself as a leader—and you're missing the opportunity to engage your team in solving problems with you. When people understand how their work affects the bottom line, they show up differently. They become invested.” – Robert YuenThe episode concludes with reflections on mentorship, emotional intelligence, and building teams for life, not just for business. Robert offers advice for young professionals seeking growth in firms that align with their values, and challenges current leaders to examine whether their culture fosters retention, or simply clings to control.Guest: Robert Yuen is the CEO and co-founder of Monograph, a project management and practice operations platform built specifically for architects. Trained as an architect himself, Robert has become a leading voice in the profession for bringing data, transparency, and business strategy into practice. His work at Monograph empowers firms to better understand their performance, improve workflows, and embrace the tools and mindsets needed for long-term success.Is This Episode for You?This episode is for you if: ✅ You're a firm leader rethinking how you run your practice ✅ You're tired of running projects and teams on “gut feel” alone ✅ You're interested in building a more open, financially literate culture ✅ You want to explore how AI and data can support better leadershipWhat have you done to take action lately?

How can mid-career architects redesign their lives around joy and curiosity?In this episode of Practice Disrupted, Evelyn Lee talks with Clarence Kwan, an architect-turned-entrepreneur who spent three decades building a career in architecture and tech before pivoting to launch his own lifestyle concierge business, CK Curated. Together, they explore Clarence's transition from corporate life to creative independence, and what it means to embrace reinvention with intention.Clarence shares his personal journey from growing up in Hong Kong and the UK to building a professional foundation in architecture, design, and real estate. After decades of working at firms like NBBJ, MG2, Meta and Amazon, Clarence realized that success in traditional practice wasn't aligned with the life he wanted to design for himself. His pivot toward food, travel, hospitality, and storytelling has opened up new pathways for joy—and redefined what a creative practice can be.Throughout the episode, Evelyn and Clarence discuss the challenges of walking away from prestige and security, how identity evolves over time, and the value of reconnecting with your core passions. Clarence offers a behind-the-scenes look at building a solo business, developing a brand, and continuing to learn and grow after “retirement” from corporate life.“Architecture was my foundation, but I had outgrown the way I was practicing it. I wanted to be in spaces where I could move freely, follow my curiosity, and create with intention. CK Curated is that space—it's where I get to design not just buildings, but lives, moments, and meaning.”– Clarence KwanThe episode concludes with reflections on how design thinking applies to life beyond architecture, and how mid-career architects can give themselves permission to explore the unfamiliar. Clarence shares advice for anyone considering a creative career reset—emphasizing the importance of self-awareness, curiosity, and trusting the process of becoming.Guest: Clarence Kwan is a lifestyle concierge and founder of CK Curated, a solo business that helps clients design experiences through food, travel, and thoughtful living. Born and raised in Hong Kong, then the UK, Clarence received his bachelor's degrees in Architecture and Architectural History and Master of Architecture from the University of Washington's Seattle and Rome campuses. Prior to launching his business, Clarence worked for over 30 years in architecture, corporate real estate, and tech, leading workplace strategy and design teams. He's now blending his love for hospitality, architecture, and storytelling into a new creative chapter—one built on joy, relationships, and intentional living.Is This Episode for You?This episode is for you if:You're a mid-career architect wondering what's nextYou're feeling stuck in your current role and ready for a creative pivotYou want to explore entrepreneurship rooted in passion and purposeYou're curious about building a life that aligns with your values What have you done to take action lately?

Success isn't about the perfect plan or waiting until you “feel ready.” It's about capacity, audacity, and self-trust—and without them, you're going to stay stuck, spinning your wheels, and wondering why things aren't moving forward.In this solo episode, Emily Reuschel is breaking down the real success formula for bringing your dreams to life—whether you're starting a business, making a big life pivot, or stepping into a new, aligned version of yourself.Capacity: You need actual space in your life—mentally, emotionally, and physically—to take action.Audacity: You have to believe in yourself before anyone else does. Confidence isn't something you wait for—it's something you cultivate.Self-Trust: No strategy in the world will work if your inner dialogue is telling you you're a failure before you even begin.This episode is the wake-up call and permission slip you need to start making moves. It's time to stop waiting, start trusting, and take up the space your dreams deserve.In this episode, I cover:Why success isn't just about having the perfect plan—it's about creating the capacity to execute.What "capacity" actually means (hint: it's more than just time on your calendar).How to stop adding more to your plate and start making space for what actually matters.The #1 reason why people feel stuck—and why it's NOT a motivation problem.Audacity: The underrated secret to achieving anything you want.Why self-trust is the ultimate success hack (and how to build it).How your inner dialogue is either your biggest asset or your biggest roadblock.The confidence of a mediocre white man—what we can learn from it and why it's time to embody that energy.How to stop outsourcing validation and start making decisions for YOURSELF.Why perfectionism and waiting for “readiness” are keeping you stuck.How to take bold, audacious action—even when you're scared as hell.How to shift from overthinking to actual execution.Be sure to hit subscribe so you never miss the latest episode!Connect with Emily:Follow on Instagram and FacebookJoin my email listCheck out my websiteConnect with me on LinkedInVisit my website for more resources, coaching, and podcast episodes: www.EmilyReuschel.comGet the Inside Scoop on My Book Writing Journey!

What is a calling? How does it shape our work and life? What's the hidden cost of pursuing it (and what can we do about it)? In this engaging, high-energy conversation, Michael and Megan sit down with Dr. Arianna Molloy—calling researcher, author, and professor—to unpack the power and pitfalls of purpose-driven work.Arianna reveals the four key elements of a true calling, practical safeguards to prevent burnout, and three concrete shifts anyone in any field can make to start experiencing a greater sense of purpose and meaning at work.  She also explains why humility—not just passion—is the key to sustainable success. If you've ever struggled to balance meaningful work with a healthy life, this episode is a must-listen.Memorable Quotes“Burnout from a calling isn't just, ‘I don't know what I'm doing anymore.' It's, ‘I don't know who I am anymore.'”“To learn how to rest well, to learn how to have good boundaries actually protects that healthy sense of your calling.”“It is so important that work is not all that you have and all that you are because, guess what? At the end of the day, [your work] is going to change and shift… If we hold that with a closed hand, it's not going to go well.”“[Calling is] really relational. It's a relationship with yourself, the caller, and it's a relationship with the community that you impact.”“Most of the time, [calling] happens upon reflection… In the moment, it's not so obvious. This subtle sense of peace, or just a feeling like, ‘I think this is right.'”“We don't honor that need and importance of play as much as we could.”“The lynchpin is humility. Part of humility is the willingness to learn more, to know that you don't know everything and that is not a threat—it's actually exciting.”Key TakeawaysThe Bright and Dark Sides of Calling. A strong sense of purpose can fuel motivation, but without boundaries, it can also lead to burnout and identity loss.The Four Elements of a True Calling. Calling isn't just about passion—it requires meaning, an identified caller, skill development, and a connection to community.How to Reframe Your Work. Even if your current job doesn't feel like a calling, job crafting—adjusting your tasks, relationships, or mindset—can create a deeper sense of meaning.The Role (and Definition) of Humility. True calling requires both confidence in your strengths and an openness to growth and makes it possible to step away from work without guilt.The Power of Rest. Sustainable success isn't just about doing more—it's about recognizing your limits and practicing the right kind of rest to restore energy and creativity.ResourcesHealthy Calling by Arianna MolloyArianna Molloy's WebsiteConnect on LinkedInWatch on YouTube at:  https://youtu.be/upMwbYdyViwThis episode was produced by Sarah Vorhees Wendel of VW Sound
