"At long last, Mr. President.”—Prime Minister Sir Winston Churchill This is the story of the second year of WWII and the United States' response.  As the war enters its second full year, things are looking dire for Britain: Germany has forced France into submission, the Blitz is in full swing, and the cash-strapped nation is running out of money to pay for US aid. Lend-Lease, or H.R. 1776, is the proposed solution; it'll allow Franklin to transfer munitions to “any country whose defense the President deems vital to the defense of the US.” But there is stiff opposition. Is the language too dictatorial? Does it make entering the war unavoidable? As Americans discuss the bill across the country, famed aviator Charles “Lucky Lindy” Lindbergh will argue against it, while recently defeated 1940 presidential candidate Wendell Willkie will argue for it. Nor are they the only ones disagreeing: workers are striking in record numbers. Building an “arsenal of democracy” means labor and business will have to settle their differences. Meanwhile, as FDR and Winston Churchill secretly meet for the first time in the frigid climes of the northern Atlantic, the Army and Navy are drilling down to brass tacks—what would it really mean if America enters the war? How many men would the nation need in uniform? Could American production cope with wartime demands? Pragmatic American leaders are preparing and planning just in case, mostly with their eyes on Germany … but increasingly on Japan. Relations are eroding swiftly. Perhaps Uncle Sam's greatest immediate threat isn't across the Atlantic but the Pacific … ____ Connect with us on HTDSpodcast.com and go deep into episode bibliographies and book recommendations join discussions in our Facebook community get news and discounts from The HTDS Gazette  come see a live show get HTDS merch or become an HTDS premium member for bonus episodes and other perks.

Most business owners dread being asked, “So, what do you do?” Not because they don't know, but because they don't know how to explain it without rambling. When you stumble through your business model or every service you offer, people glaze over. That moment is your shot to spark curiosity and build value, but if you blow it, you lose potential opportunities. Whether you're networking at a conference, pitching a client, or updating your website, you need one sentence that makes people lean in and say, “Tell me more.” So what makes a great first impression every time?   In this episode, hosts Don and Kyle break down the formula for creating a compelling one-liner: a short, powerful sentence that clarifies what you do by highlighting the problem you solve, the product you offer, and the result people can expect. You'll hear real-time examples, get a lesson in positioning your value, and discover why a clear one-liner opens doors faster than anything else. Tune in and learn how to create the perfect elevator pitch so you never struggle to explain what you do again.   -- Click HERE to attend the upcoming StoryBrand Your Business LIVE event!   Click HERE to find a StoryBrand certified marketing coach to help you grow your business!   Unlock the power of a framework that works—the StoryBrand Framework at StoryBrand.ai.

You'll discover why "I wouldn't bet against us" became our rallying cry when people doubted our dreams, how playing to our strengths means I handle parking while she handles money (and why we always go to bed at the same time), and what "hit the squirrel" really means when you're trying to see the big picture. Plus, I'll tell you why the best way to learn about someone isn't dinner—it's card games.

If you want to get leaner and live longer, check out https://milliondollarbodylabs.com/ I used to think my pro athlete status meant health, but I was wrong. Is your comfortable, convenient life actually making you weaker? I sat down with Michael Kummer, who shared his journey from professional athlete dealing with gut issues to becoming a health expert and supplement company founder. We explored the idea that comfort is killing us, arguing that we must deliberately expose ourselves to hermetic stressors like cold and exercise to build physical and mental resilience. I learned how stacking small wins reinforces a new, healthier identity. We also dove deep into his dietary philosophy—focusing on local, seasonal, animal-based foods—and his approach to raising resilient children in a modern, easy world. Key Takeaways ●     Comfort is detrimental because it removes the necessary hermetic stressors required for physical and mental strength. ●     If you don't stress your body, your structure gets weaker; if you don't challenge your brain, you lose neural connections. ●   Choosing to do something incredibly hard (like cold plunging) builds resilience, making non-chosen challenges significantly easier to handle. ●    The more hard stuff you do, the more it can provide a dopamine response, making you enjoy difficult activities. ●     Building positive momentum starts with small wins, such as making your bed first thing in the morning. ●     Every action you take reinforces the identity of the person you are becoming. ●     You will pay for cheap food one way or the other: either less upfront and more in medical bills later, or a little more upfront and no medical bills later. ●    Nutrition should prioritize animal-based products, supplemented seasonally and locally with plants, while mitigating anti-nutrients. ● Organ meats are excellent sources of micronutrients that are crucial for endurance, especially when the body is under stress.

You know what I love about real entrepreneurs? They don't make noise - they make moves. Meet Gulliver Giles and Leesa Cosgrove. While most people were still figuring out their business model, these two were building something extraordinary. And they just shared their entire $100M playbook with me. WHAT YOU'LL DISCOVER: → How they dodged a $750K loss right before COVID hit → The "acquisition bender" that turned dying businesses into gold mines   → Why Leesa can pack 3,500 people in a room (it's not "energy" BS) → The psychological reason everyone's broken post-COVID → Why Dan Kennedy's methods still crush in 2025 → The difference between real wealth and guru theater THE BACKSTORY: 2012, Frank Kern's mastermind. Most of us got stung by stingrays surfing. These two went back to the hotel, had drinks, and planned what became one of the most profitable high-ticket operations on the planet. This isn't another "sales training" video. This is how you build legitimate wealth through systems that actually work - the same principles I used to scale to $100M+. Perfect for coaches, consultants, and experts ready to ditch the guru BS and build something real.

Jennifer Meyer is the founder and creative director of Jennifer Meyer Jewelry, a fine jewelry brand handmade in Los Angeles. Jennifer's story starts early. At six, she was discovering her love for jewelry while creating pieces with her grandmother. Fast forward: she hustled her way into getting a job at Glamour magazine, then worked in fashion and PR with Ralph Lauren and Giorgio Armani. In 2005, she finally followed her passion she felt for years and launched her brand at her kitchen table, teaching herself everything from molds to pricing. Her big break came when Jennifer Aniston wore the leaf necklace in The Break-Up, and suddenly her pieces were on the shelves at Barneys and Net-a-Porter. Nearly two decades later, Jennifer Meyer Jewelry has become a Hollywood staple, worn by everyone from Reese Witherspoon and Taylor Swift to Selena Gomez and so many more.In today's episode, Jennifer gets real about what it took to build from zero. We talk about how her upbringing & working at a young age shaped her resilience, the scrappy hustle that got her first big break at Glamour, and the leap from side passion to a real business. She shares the chaos of those early orders, the moment Jennifer Aniston put her work on the map, and what it was like to scale while raising her daughter. We dig into money lessons from her dad, why she chose slow and steady growth, and how to bet on yourself when there's no roadmap. Jennifer also opens up about navigating comparison, leaning into social and how it's impacted her business, and redefining what success means to her over the years. If you've ever felt “not enough,” this conversation will remind you that passion, persistence, and kindness can take you farther than you think.In this episode, we'll talk to Jennifer about:* Why staying focused and trusting your passion has guided her career.

We're not dreaming about a finish line—we're designing our next chapter. In this conversation with trailblazer Anne Chow (former CEO of AT&T Business, board director, author of Lead Bigger), we unpack “rewirement”: the smarter, saner, more sovereign way to approach life after (and beyond) traditional work. What we get into: The origin story of “rewirement” (engineer-brain meets real-life evolution) How to reflect with brutal honesty: strengths, energy-giving work, environments you thrive in, and the ones you loathe The unsexy (but essential) life needs: money, healthcare, caregiving, and lifestyle non-negotiables Why your research + seed-planting should start before you exit (network while your platform is loud) Building a portfolio life (boards, teaching, books, consulting, play) and letting serendipity do its thing Identity shifts after big titles—how to navigate the “who am I without the logo?” wobble Community > everything: social connection as a longevity strategy Partner alignment: designing a shared vision (and yes, more time together can be… an adjustment) The metrics that actually matter: joy and fulfillment (not just status and spreadsheets) Retirement isn't the end—it's your next evolution. This is your permission slip to stop chasing finish lines and start rewiring for joy, fulfillment, and a life that actually feels like yours.

In this episode of the Everyday Judaism Podcast, Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe discusses Siman 134 of the Kitzur Shulchan Aruch, covering the laws of building a sukkah, timed with the preparation period between Yom Kippur (September 20, 2025) and Sukkot (September 25, 2025). He emphasizes the mitzvah's spiritual significance as a divine “hug” and a fresh start post-Yom Kippur. Key points include:Sukkot's Timing and Purpose: The days between Yom Kippur and Sukkot are “free days” for preparation (building sukkahs, selecting four species), keeping one too busy to sin. Sukkot, called “Yom HaRishon” (first day), is the first opportunity for sin post-Yom Kippur, making it a time to establish new, righteous habits. Dwelling in the sukkah mirrors the Clouds of Glory that protected the Israelites in the desert, symbolizing divine protection and closeness.Halachot of Sukkah Construction (Siman 134):Halacha 1: It's a mitzvah to build the sukkah immediately after Yom Kippur, even on Erev Shabbos (e.g., September 21, 2025). Choose a clean, stable location (e.g., driveway, not mud). Everyone, even dignitaries, should personally participate in building, though the Shehechiyanu blessing is covered by the Kiddush on Sukkot's first night.Halacha 2: Beautify the sukkah with nice furnishings (e.g., tablecloths, artwork), as one would a home, to honor the mitzvah and the spiritual “guests” (Ushpizin: Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, etc.). Walls must be sturdy, with at least two and a half walls, symbolizing Hashem's hug.Halacha 3–4: Schach must grow from the ground, be detached, and not be susceptible to ritual impurity (tumah). Bamboo mats or tree branches are ideal; pre-cut wood slats or utensils (e.g., ladders, shovels) are invalid. Consult a rabbi if proper schach is unavailable. Supports for schach can be tumah-susceptible items (e.g., metal) after the fact, though stringencies avoid metal entirely.Halacha 5: Schach must provide more shade than sunlight on the floor. If sunlight exceeds shade or there's a three-tefach (handbreadth) gap, the sukkah is invalid. Thick schach blocking all stars is still kosher, but if it prevents rain penetration, it's like a permanent roof and invalid.Halacha 6–7: A sukkah needs at least three walls. Invalid schach (e.g., four tefachim wide, about 16 inches) can split a three-walled sukkah, invalidating it. A space less than four amos (eight feet) from a wall is considered a “bent wall,” valid as part of the sukkah, but don't sit under it. Schach under tree branches (attached to the ground) is invalid, even if cut later, unless lifted and replaced for the sukkah's sake.Halacha 8–9: For built-in sukkahs with retractable roofs, open the roof before placing schach. A sukkah doesn't require a mezuzah if temporary, but a permanent sukkah (e.g., part of a house) does. A borrowed sukkah is valid, but a stolen one or one in a public domain is not, unless no alternative exists.Halacha 10–12: Don't cut schach from others' trees without permission. Building a sukkah during Chol HaMoed is permitted. Sukkah materials (walls, schach) are designated for the mitzvah and can't be repurposed (e.g., as a toothpick) until after Simchas Torah.Halacha 13–15: Don't step on or degrade sukkah materials post-holiday, as they were used for a mitzvah, like tzitzis. Don't engrave Torah verses on food decorations (e.g., gourds), as they'll rot, disrespecting the verses. On Erev Sukkos, avoid eating bread after midday to enter the sukkah with an appetite. Increase charity before Sukkot to enhance the mitzvah.Spiritual Insights: The sukkah represents leaving comfort zones to bond with Hashem, as the Israelites did in the desert, protected by the Clouds of Glory. Rabbi Wolbe shares a story of a community member who builds sukkahs for free, reflecting the mitzvah's joy, and his childhood memories of using tarps in Brooklyn to shield sukkahs from rain, emphasizing practical challenges and solutions.The episode concludes with a blessing for a meaningful Sukkot, encouraging listeners to embrace the holiday's spiritual renewal and closeness with Hashem, followed by an invitation to the “Ask Away” segment._____________The Everyday Judaism Podcast is dedicated to learning, understanding and appreciating the greatness of Jewish heritage and the Torah through the simplified, concise study of Halacha, Jewish Law, thereby enhancing our understanding of how Hashem wants us to live our daily lives in a Jewish way._____________This Podcast Series is Generously Underwritten by Marshall & Doreen LernerDownload & Print the Everyday Judaism Halacha Notes:https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1RL-PideM42B_LFn6pbrk8MMU5-zqlLG5This episode (Ep. #60) of the Everyday Judaism Podcast by Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe of TORCH is dedicated to my dearest friends, Marshall & Doreen Lerner!

A space less than four amos (eight feet) from a wall is considered a “bent wall,” valid as part of the sukkah, but don't sit under it. Schach under tree branches (attached to the ground) is invalid, even if cut later, unless lifted and replaced for the sukkah's sake.Halacha 8–9: For built-in sukkahs with retractable roofs, open the roof before placing schach. A sukkah doesn't require a mezuzah if temporary, but a permanent sukkah (e.g., part of a house) does. A borrowed sukkah is valid, but a stolen one or one in a public domain is not, unless no alternative exists.Halacha 10–12: Don't cut schach from others' trees without permission. Building a sukkah during Chol HaMoed is permitted. Sukkah materials (walls, schach) are designated for the mitzvah and can't be repurposed (e.g., as a toothpick) until after Simchas Torah.Halacha 13–15: Don't step on or degrade sukkah materials post-holiday, as they were used for a mitzvah, like tzitzis. Don't engrave Torah verses on food decorations (e.g., gourds), as they'll rot, disrespecting the verses. On Erev Sukkos, avoid eating bread after midday to enter the sukkah with an appetite. Increase charity before Sukkot to enhance the mitzvah.Spiritual Insights: The sukkah represents leaving comfort zones to bond with Hashem, as the Israelites did in the desert, protected by the Clouds of Glory. Rabbi Wolbe shares a story of a community member who builds sukkahs for free, reflecting the mitzvah's joy, and his childhood memories of using tarps in Brooklyn to shield sukkahs from rain, emphasizing practical challenges and solutions.The episode concludes with a blessing for a meaningful Sukkot, encouraging listeners to embrace the holiday's spiritual renewal and closeness with Hashem, followed by an invitation to the “Ask Away” segment._____________The Everyday Judaism Podcast is dedicated to learning, understanding and appreciating the greatness of Jewish heritage and the Torah through the simplified, concise study of Halacha, Jewish Law, thereby enhancing our understanding of how Hashem wants us to live our daily lives in a Jewish way._____________This Podcast Series is Generously Underwritten by Marshall & Doreen LernerDownload & Print the Everyday Judaism Halacha Notes:https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1RL-PideM42B_LFn6pbrk8MMU5-zqlLG5This episode (Ep. #60) of the Everyday Judaism Podcast by Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe of TORCH is dedicated to my dearest friends, Marshall & Doreen Lerner!

Ready to flip the entire leadership hierarchy on its head? In this powerful episode, Andy sits down with Patrice Gordon, the trailblazer who became Virgin Atlantic's first-ever reverse mentor, ultimately mentoring the CEO and starting an organisational movement. If you think leadership wisdom only flows from the top down, this conversation will make you think again. Patrice unpacks the tactical playbook for reverse mentoring—a practice where senior leaders are guided by junior, often under-represented, colleagues to gain critical perspectives they're missing in the boardroom. Patrice explains how they got the programme off the ground, how she navigated doing game-changing work "on the side of her desk", and the powerful way she shared her opinions to be seen as part of the solution, not the problem. This is a masterclass in closing the gap between the frontline and the head office, understanding new technology, and building a culture where everyone truly has a voice. Andy and Patrice examine the frameworks, the potential pitfalls, and the incredible impact of looking down the ladder for the insights you need to lead up. Learn how to unlock the hidden genius within your organisation and build a truly connected leadership team. What we discussed What if the secret to your company's next big breakthrough lies with your most junior employee? Patrice Gordon reveals how to unlock it. Here are 5 key areas we explored: The Power Dynamics of Mentoring: We assume mentoring should be a two-way street. But what did Patrice learn about why starting a program as purely 'reverse' is critical for its success, and why jumping to 'reciprocal' too early can sabotage the entire relationship? Driving Change Without Authority: Taking on extra initiatives can lead to burnout or office politics. How did Patrice manage to launch groundbreaking programs outside her day job, and what's her non-negotiable rule for anyone wanting to do the same without damaging their reputation? Engaging the Un-engageable: What about the leaders who need reverse mentoring the most but resist it? Patrice shares a surprising strategy that involves not focusing on them. What does she advise you to do instead, and why could forcing a detractor to participate do more harm than good? The Blueprint for a Successful Program: Launching reverse mentoring without a plan is a recipe for disaster. What are the crucial first steps that ensure the program has a clear objective and is built for impact? Building a Foundation of Trust: How do you empower a junior employee to give candid, unfiltered feedback to a senior leader without fear? Discover the specific training structures and support systems Patrice implements to create a psychologically safe space where real conversations can finally happen.  SELECTED LINKS FROM THE EPISODE Connect with Andy Lopata: Website | Instagram | LinkedIn | X/Twitter | YouTube Connect with Patrice Gordon: Website |LinkedIn | The Financial Times Guide to Mentoring

Life After Police Work: And Yes, Old Dogs Can Learn New Tricks, Special Episode of the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast. Where John Jay Wiley is a guest on the "Don't Be Caged By Your Age” Podcast. For many, retirement means slowing down. But for John Jay Wiley, a retired Baltimore Police Sergeant turned nationally syndicated radio broadcaster, life after police work became an opportunity to reinvent himself and inspire others along the way. The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast promoted across their Facebook , Instagram , LinkedIn , Medium and other social media platforms. In a recent special episode of the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast, Wiley appeared as a guest on Ande Lyons' Don't Be Caged By Your Age podcast, a program dedicated to helping people thrive after 65. The conversation focused on resilience, reinvention, and breaking age stereotypes, proving that, yes, old dogs can learn new tricks. This is a special episode of the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast, available for free on our website, on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Youtube and most podcast platforms. The episode, available for free on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio website, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, and most podcast platforms, has been promoted across Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Medium, and other social media outlets. Look for supporting stories about this and much more from Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast in platforms like Medium , Blogspot and Linkedin . From Police Sergeant to Podcaster “I remember being in the Baltimore Police Academy in 1980 and an instructor telling us that the average maximum age for a Baltimore Police Officer at that time was 52, and that many of them died within two years of retirement,” Wiley recalled. “That hit me like a ton of bricks. Although I could never imagine myself being that old at the time.” READ THIS FREE ARTICLE: 3 Tips to Help You Stand Out from the Crowd. Wiley's law enforcement career ended abruptly after a career-ending injury, forcing him to make a difficult decision about what came next. Instead of allowing the setback to define his future, Wiley pivoted toward broadcasting, a leap that would eventually redefine his life. Life After Police Work: And Yes, Old Dogs Can Learn New Tricks, Special Episode of the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast. Available for free on their website and streaming on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and other podcast platforms. Over time, he built a successful second career as a nationally syndicated radio host and podcaster, launching the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show to give first responders, veterans, and their families a platform to share their real, unfiltered stories. “Resilience and mental health are topics we can't ignore,” Wiley shared. “Our show isn't about headlines or quick soundbites, it's about honest, authentic voices that deserve to be heard.” Embracing Technology: Old Dogs, New Tricks Beyond radio, Wiley faced another major challenge, technology. The world had gone digital, and for someone whose professional beginnings predated smartphones and social media, the learning curve was steep. The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast episode is available for free on their website , Apple Podcasts , Spotify and most major podcast platforms. “The question was, could this old dog learn new tricks?” Wiley joked. “Not only did I have to embrace technology, but I had to use it as a tool, to grow financially, expand my reach, and create multiple streams of revenue.” Today, Wiley connects with audiences across Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, YouTube, and podcast platforms like Apple Podcasts and Spotify. Through these channels, he's built a national and international following, all while keeping the mission at the heart of his work, amplifying the voices of first responders. Life After Police Work: And Yes, Old Dogs Can Learn New Tricks, Special Episode. Challenging Age Stereotypes Ande Lyons, host of Don't Be Caged By Your Age, praised Wiley's energy and authenticity: “John Jay is a remarkable storyteller and advocate. He's living proof that thriving after 65 is possible, and that old assumptions about aging no longer apply. His courage to adapt and grow is exactly what inspires my audience.” Lyons' show celebrates pro-aging perspectives, weekly conversations with individuals who defy outdated expectations about what life “should” look like after 60. Her mission is to provide ideas, resources, and motivation for anyone seeking to flourish in later life. Wiley's story fit perfectly into that vision. The full podcast episode is streaming now on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and across Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn. READ THIS FREE ARTICLE: Unplug and Disconnect for Success: The Power of Intentional Disconnection During the interview, they also discussed ageism, which Wiley addressed candidly: “Ageism is something that I have to acknowledge exists,” he said, “but I've never had my age stop me from being employed. I focus on selling my value. I don't need health insurance, I have flexibility in earnings, and I bring decades of experience. When employers realize that, they understand it costs less to hire me than a younger person.” Wiley's practical approach to self-worth and experience reframes aging as an advantage, not an obstacle. Building the Life You Want For Wiley, the key to his post-police success has been mindset. “It's about creating the life you want,” he explained. “Not the life dictated to you by others. Once I understood that, everything, broadcasting, podcasting, social media, technology, became tools to build something meaningful.” He's also quick to challenge stereotypes about older adults and technology. “You don't have to understand how something works to use it effectively,” he said. Life After Police Work: And Yes, Old Dogs Can Learn New Tricks, Special Episode of the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast. The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast episode is available for free on their website , Apple Podcasts , Spotify and most major podcast platforms. Wiley illustrates the point with three simple examples: television, radio, and flight. Television: “I don't comprehend how the signal is broadcast or how the screen displays it, but I can turn it on and instantly be transported into another story, another world.” Radio: “I've worked in it for years, yet I still can't explain how sound travels that far. I just know that when I speak into a microphone, people everywhere can hear me.” Air travel: “It baffles me how something that big and heavy flies 500 miles an hour at 30,000 feet. But I don't need to understand it to benefit from it.” His philosophy is simple but powerful: focus on learning how to use technology, not how it works.

What happens when the worst thing you've ever done becomes the foundation for your life's work?Episode SummaryMy guest on this episode is Tom Hardin, otherwise known as Tipper X.  He's been on the show before, but this time we're tackling a different angle.If you don't already know his story, Tom was a rising star in the hedge fund world in his twenties when he became involved in insider trading. Caught by the FBI, he made the decision to cooperate — ultimately becoming one of the most prolific informants in the largest investigation of its kind in U.S. history. His work with the FBI helped secure dozens of convictions, and while his own case remained under seal for years, he eventually chose to speak publicly about what happened — not to excuse it, but to help others understand how good people can make bad decisions.If you haven't heard Tom's first appearance on the show, where he tells that extraordinary story in full, I highly recommend listening to it here before diving into this episode.Because this time, we're not talking about what he did back then; we're talking about what he's done since. Tom has built a powerful second act, using his experience to educate organisations about ethics, decision-making and behavioural risk. He's now delivered over 600 talks, and what fascinates me is how he's turned that into something both impactful and sustainable.His forthcoming book Wired on Wall Street is due out next year, and he'll be back on the show to talk about that. But for now, I wanted to explore what it means to build a career from a cautionary tale. In this conversation, we explore:How Tom built a speaking business around his past without glamourising itThe frameworks he's developed to help companies recognise ethical pressure pointsHow he navigates scepticism, manages reputation, and avoids turning his story into a performanceThe impact he hopes to have, and how he measures itThis is a conversation about vulnerability, professionalism, and doing good with what you've learned the hard way. Whether you're in compliance, leadership, education, or just curious about how we turn failure into purpose, this one's for you.Guest ProfileTom is a former hedge fund analyst turned FBI informant, now a globally recognised speaker and ethics educator. Known as Tipper X, Tom shares his story to help others understand the behavioural drivers of misconduct and the power of accountability. AI Generated Timestamped Summary00:00 – IntroductionChristian shares the origin of this episode, his relationship with Tom, and the context behind the conversation.06:30 – The label “Tipper X” and living with itTom reflects on how it feels to be known by his code name and why he uses it professionally.09:00 – What it's like to talk about the worst thing you've done, repeatedlyThe emotional and psychological toll of speaking publicly about past wrongdoing.13:00 – Keeping it fresh: updating the story and the messageHow Tom avoids becoming performative and ensures audiences always get something valuable.16:40 – Why it's not entertainmentTom draws the line between education and storytelling-as-performance, and how he avoids glamorising his past.20:50 – The business model behind Tipper XThe practicalities of how Tom has built and sustained a speaking career rooted in his past.26:30 – Frameworks and tools Tom uses in his talksHe discusses behavioural insights and models he shares with audiences to make the message stick.31:00 – The “AI homework” storyA compelling example Tom uses to explain rationalisation and ethical grey areas.36:00 – Over 630 talks: managing the workload and the missionHow Tom tracks his talks and why he keeps going despite the repetition.39:10 – Audience reactions and confessionsWhat people tell Tom after his talks — and what that reveals about corporate culture.42:30 – “Why should we pay someone who committed a crime?”Christian and Tom unpack this ethical tension and why context, intent and delivery matter.48:00 – Building trust with clients and collaboratorsThe importance of transparency, humility and boundaries in how Tom presents himself.53:20 – What success really looks likeTom reflects on purpose, legacy and the long-term impact he hopes to have.57:00 – Looking ahead: the forthcoming book and continuing the conversation.

I had such a powerful and eye-opening conversation with Lisa Curtis, Founder & CEO of Kuli Kuli Foods.  Lisa shared her incredible journey that began in the Peace Corps in Niger, where she first discovered moringa, a nutrient-packed “tree leaf” that transformed her health.   What started as a simple act of self-care in a rural village has grown into Kuli Kuli Foods, a pioneering superfoods brand that now partners with thousands of small farmers across Africa and India, empowers women, and brings nutritious, climate-smart foods to shelves nationwide. Lisa opened up about the early hurdles, navigating FDA approvals, raising money through crowdfunding, and hustling at farmers' markets, and how those small proof points led to partnerships with Whole Foods, Walmart, and more.   We also explored the resilience it takes to keep going for over 12 years, her gratitude practice, and the leadership lessons that continue to guide her. This episode is packed with inspiration for entrepreneurs and food lovers alike. Here are some highlights from our conversation:   How a Peace Corps experience in Niger led to the discovery of moringa and sparked the founding of Kuli Kuli Foods.   Overcoming early supply chain and regulatory challenges, including a $70,000 FDA hurdle with creativity and mentorship.   The role of farmers' markets and crowdfunding in proving demand and landing Whole Foods as their first big customer.   Building impact by partnering with 3,000 small farmers and reinvesting 10% of profits into community projects worldwide.   Lisa's advice for entrepreneurs: map out small proof points, celebrate wins, and keep the courage to start and persist. Join me, Ramon Vela, as I listen to Lisa's inspiring story of grit, gratitude, and global impact, and to discover how Kuli Kuli is changing the way we think about superfoods.

Nonprofit leaders, when too much responsibility lands on one person's plate, the results are predictable—burnout and turnover. Relying on a single leader, often the ED or CEO, doesn't just exhaust them, it puts your entire organization at risk.

In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, Avik sits down with Jordan Calgeron—2x exited founder and President of StratDev—to explore the often-overlooked mental and emotional journey of young entrepreneurs. From building his first company in college to turning down 11 acquisition offers in a single year, Jordan reveals the unseen pressures of early success, including burnout, isolation, and the struggle to find balance. He also shares personal strategies on setting boundaries, protecting energy, and choosing growth with integrity over fast exits. About the Guest:Jordan Calgeron is a serial entrepreneur and the current President of StratDev, a Top 100 US marketing firm. He's built and sold companies by age 26, delivered TEDx talks, and even launched a wine brand. Beyond business, Jordan is committed to mental resilience, long-term sustainability, and redefining what success looks like in the startup world. Key Takeaways: Starting young can lead to burnout fast—Jordan worked 20-hour days during college, often sacrificing social life and sleep. True vacations and time-blocking are essential tools Jordan uses to avoid mental collapse. He turned down 11 acquisition offers in 2023 to play the long game—and the decision paid off. Quick decision-making and the ability to course-correct are more valuable than intelligence in entrepreneurship. Building a business shouldn't come at the cost of losing yourself—find time to recalibrate, reconnect, and reflect.
