Podcasts about Work

In today's episode, I break down why so many of us don't lack effort, we leak it. We confuse motion with progress, pack our schedules, and still avoid the scoreboard that tells us if we're actually winning. I share six core lessons on intentional effort, exponential leverage, strategic constraints, reflection, rhythm and rest, and present focused momentum. When your purpose is clear and your non negotiables are protected, the same hours produce sharper decisions and bigger outcomes. Work hard plus work right becomes a formula for compounding results, reduced anxiety, and consistent growth aligned with your divine direction.

In this thoughtful and surprisingly hopeful conversation, Ginny Yurich sits down with sociologist Dr. Tracy Brower to talk about why so many people feel disconnected right now—and why friendship, belonging, and real-life community matter more than ever.

A lot of people quit drinking expecting to feel calmer. You think sobriety is going to reduce anxiety, improve sleep, and make life feel more stable. It does… eventually. But for a while, many people experience the opposite. You feel on edge for no clear reason. Small things overwhelm you. You're exhausted but can't fully relax. Your sleep is inconsistent, your emotions are intense, and stress hits harder than it used to. And this is where people start to wonder if something is wrong, or worse, if alcohol was actually helping. Years of drinking trained your body to live in a constant state of stress. In this episode, we're going to talk about what alcohol actually does to the nervous system, why sobriety can feel so dysregulating at first, and how your brain and body relearn safety over time.

Learn more at https://patricewashington.com/retreat ✨ About This Season: The Anatomy of Alignment This season of Redefining Wealth is dedicated to unpacking what alignment really means — not as a buzzword, but as structure. We're dissecting how misalignment impacts each of the Six Pillars of Wealth — Fit, People, Space, Faith, Work, and Money — and what it truly costs when we tolerate what drains us. Each episode builds on the last. So subscribe and journey with us as we move from awakening… to redefining… to actualizing.   Episode Summary In this episode, Patrice breaks down what alignment really is and why it must become more than a trendy word or inspirational idea. True alignment, she explains, is structure. It is the infrastructure that supports the life, vision, and peace you say you want. Using what she calls the “anatomy of alignment,” Patrice explores how alignment shows up in four places: the head, the heart, the gut, and the gait. Your head reflects your identity, thoughts, and the vision you hold. Your heart reveals what feels heavy, dishonest, or life-giving. Your gut detects what is off before logic can rationalize it away. And your gait reflects how confidently and clearly you move through life when all those parts are working together. Patrice also reminds us that misalignment is rarely loud at first. It often begins as a whisper, a subtle sense that something is off in a relationship, environment, habit, or assignment. But when ignored, that whisper becomes a boulder — burnout, confusion, frustration, and dis-ease. This conversation is an invitation to stop outsourcing your power, trust the signals your body and spirit have been sending, and recognize that you do not need more hype in this season — you need harmony. If you've been feeling stuck, stretched, or disconnected from yourself, this episode offers language and framework for coming back home. Questions to Ask Yourself: Have I been ignoring a whisper in my life that is trying to get my attention? Where do I feel misalignment most right now — in my head, heart, gut, or gait? What beliefs or identities am I still carrying that no longer match who I am becoming? What in my life feels heavy, forced, or harder than it should?   Want to Redefine Wealth for Yourself? Start Here:

Have you ever felt creatively blocked and had no idea why?

Instead of seeing them as failures or signs that something is wrong, I started to realize they can actually be signals pointing us toward something important.In this episode, I walk you through the six most common reasons creatives get blocked and how asking yourself the right questions can help you move forward with more clarity, compassion, and momentum.If you've been putting off a creative project, feeling stuck, or wondering why something that matters so much to you suddenly feels hard to start, this episode is for you.In this episode, you'll learn:• Why creative blocks are often signals rather than failures• The six hidden reasons creatives get stuck• How past experiences can quietly create resistance to new projects• The difference between burnout and a creative block• The one question that can help you get unstuck

Welcome to the What's Next! Podcast with Tiffani Bova.    This week, I have the pleasure of welcoming Claude Silver to the show. She is on a mission to revolutionize leadership talent and workplace culture. She is the world's first Chief Heart Officer at VaynerX and partners with CEO Gary Vaynerchuk to drive their success. Claude has earned Campaign's U.S. Female Frontier Award and Adweek's Changing the Game Award. She is also the author of the new book, Be Yourself at Work.    THIS EPISODE IS PERFECT FOR…leaders who want to build high-performing teams without sacrificing humanity.    TODAY'S MAIN MESSAGE…in this conversation, Claude shares why she believes AI should enhance human potential and not replace it. She explains why burnout is often a leadership system's problem rather than a personal failure. And she challenges managers to create cultures where people feel safe enough to speak up, honest enough to name their imposters, and supported enough to grow.   KEY TAKEAWAYS: AI should enhance human capability while preserving meaningful human connection. Emotional fluency allows leaders to choose their response instead of reacting impulsively. Energy management matters more than time management in preventing burnout. Psychological safety creates the conditions for belonging and high performance. Leaders scale culture by modeling self-awareness and vulnerability first.   WHAT I LOVE MOST…Claude reframes leadership as something deeply personal before it's organizational. You can't build belonging for others if you haven't built awareness in yourself. Her reminder that "you are the CEO of you" feels especially powerful in a world that's moving faster than ever.   Running Time: 26:15   Subscribe on iTunes    Find Tiffani Online: LinkedIn Facebook X    Find Claude Online: Website LinkedIn   Claude's Book: Be Yourself at Work: The Groundbreaking Power of Showing Up, Standing Out, and Leading from the Heart

Somewhere along the way, you learned to make yourself smaller and it's costing you more than you realize.SummaryTaking up space isn't about being loud or overbearing, it's about stopping apologizing for who you are.

Have you ever wondered why you feel drained, bloated, or mentally foggy even after eating all day?In this episode, I share a transformative approach to eating that goes beyond diets, rules, and willpower: intermittent fasting as a health protocol. I explain how giving my body dedicated periods of rest helps optimize digestion, immune function, hormonal balance, and mental clarity.This isn't about restriction — it's about giving my body the space to heal, regenerate, and perform at its best.1. Why Rest Matters for Digestion and HealingI've learned that our bodies need periods of rest and digest. When I eat constantly, my energy goes into breaking down food, leaving little capacity for healing and regeneration.By practicing intermittent fasting, I allow:My immune system to clear debris through autophagyHormones and enzymes to rebalanceMy body to focus on repair instead of constant digestion2. Intermittent Fasting: More Than Weight LossWhile releasing weight can happen naturally, the main benefit for me is healing and energy optimization.I experience:Greater metabolic flexibility, using fat as fuel when glucose is lowImproved sleep and mental clarity with even a 12-hour windowDeep gut health reset with longer fasts up to 72 hours3. Energy Comes From More Than FoodI used to think “food equals energy.” Even after eating constantly, I felt fatigue and brain fog.Through fasting, I reconnect with my highest-level self, discovering that energy comes from:Mental clarityNervous system balanceConnection with my own body, not just my plate4. Finding the Right Window for MeIntermittent fasting isn't one-size-fits-all. I experiment with windows depending on my needs:12-hour fasting window – supports digestion, sleep, and clarityLonger fasts – for gut health or deeper metabolic resetI remain flexible, listening to my body's cues and adjusting my schedule5. Integrating Fasting with Intuitive EatingI combine fasting with intuitive eating:Some days my brain or body needs more glucoseSome days my body thrives on longer rest periodsFlexibility keeps fasting a tool for self-support, not stressMy TakeawaysI allow my body to rest and healFasting supports immune, hormonal, and metabolic functionWeight changes are a side effect, not the main goalEnergy and clarity often improve before physical changesI honor my body's cues and adjust my fasting window accordinglyClosing Message from SherryIntermittent fasting is not about restriction — it's about freedom, energy, and connection. By giving your body space to rest and repair, you reclaim energy for the things that truly matter and strengthen your ability to listen to your own body with clarity and compassion.This episode invites you to experiment, notice the difference, and tune into your own cues — turning fasting into a tool for wellness, presence, and sustainable transformation.Work With Sherry:Book your FREE 30-minute Food Freedom Call now and start your journey to lasting change!

Studios that watch Steam early often get a 12–24 month head start on mechanics that later dominate mobile charts.We break down several surprising titles, including Escape From Duckoff, which generated nearly $70M, and discuss why quirky concepts, niche genres, and experimental mechanics on Steam often become the next big opportunity for mobile studios.If you want to know what mobile games might look like in 1–2 years, Steam is still one of the best places to look.Get our MERCH NOW: 25gamers.com/shop--------------------------------------PVX Partners offers non-dilutive funding for game developers.Go to: https://pvxpartners.com/They can help you access the most effective form of growth capital once you have the metrics to back it.- Scale fast- Keep your shares- Drawdown only as needed- Have PvX take downside risk alongside you+ Work with a team entirely made up of ex-gaming operators and investors---------------------------------------For an ever-growing number of game developers, this means that now is the perfect time to invest in monetizing direct-to-consumer at scale.Our sponsor FastSpring:Has delivered D2C at scale for over 20 yearsThey power top mobile publishers around the worldLaunch a new webstore, replace an existing D2C vendor, or add a redundant D2C vendor at fastspring.gg.---------------------------------------This is no BS gaming podcast 2.5 gamers session.

In case you haven't noticed, the American economy isn't doing so well right now. Oil prices have been on an absolute rollercoaster since the Iran war began — but that's not all. On Friday, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that the U.S. lost nearly 100,000 jobs in February, pushing the unemployment rate up to 4.4 percent. So what exactly is going wrong with the economy, besides… everything? And what can we learn from past economic crises to hopefully avoid another one? To find out, we spoke to Rogé Karma. He's a staff writer at The Atlantic and author of the economy-focused newsletter, Work in Progress.And in headlines, Jane speaks to Crooked's Washington Correspondent Matt Berg about a report that at least 20 countries are now militarily involved in the Iran war, the Democratic National Committee suing the Trump administration, and how flying cars are actually, maybe, really happening.Show Notes: Check out Rogé's piece – https://tinyurl.com/3p3amzx9 Call Congress – 202-224-3121 Subscribe to the What A Day Newsletter – https://tinyurl.com/y4y2e9jy What A Day – YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/@whatadaypodcast Follow us on Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/crookedmedia/ For a transcript of this episode, please visit crooked.com/whataday

What if life is boring without alcohol? That's one of the biggest fears people have when they think about quitting drinking. Not just, “What will I do on Friday night?”But deeper questions like: Will I still be fun? Will people still like me? Will my relationship still work? What do I do with stress, anxiety, awkwardness, or family events without a drink? In this episode, I'm breaking down why that fear is so common, what's really happening underneath it, and why “boredom” usually isn't the real issue at all. We're talking about the way alcohol becomes the signal to relax, connect, celebrate, and cope — and why removing it can feel like pulling a load-bearing wall out of your life. I also share a personal story about one of my biggest fears in early sobriety: that I wouldn't be funny anymore. If you've been worried that life without alcohol will feel dull, lonely, or less fun, this episode will help you understand what's actually going on — and why the version of you on the other side of this fear is more real, more confident, and more free. In this episode, we talk about: why people fear life without alcohol will be boring the real fear underneath “boredom” social anxiety, identity, and sober confidence how alcohol becomes the off switch for stress and discomfort why early sobriety can feel flat or empty at first dopamine, brain recalibration, and emotional healing how relationships and social life change without alcohol what it means to build a life you actually trust yourself in If you've ever wondered what life without alcohol actually looks like, grab your latte, pop in your earbuds, and let's talk about what's really going on underneath that fear.   Mentioned in this episode: Ready to stop drinking and start right now?DM me the word READY on Instagram or Facebook at Addiction Unlimited and let's talk.

Yes embodies a way of being and making decisions that can sometimes feel against the grain, scary, and add odds with a felt sense of safety and comfort.

In this episode, we walk through some personal stories where we said YES to opportunities, invitations, and ways of thinking that have helped us grow as humans.

What if the thing that's making leadership feel so heavy isn't the pressure but the pretending? EPISODE SUMMARY What happens when leadership rewards performance—but quietly erodes the person underneath it? In this episode of Joyosity in Practice, Jenn Whitmer sits down with Australian employment lawyer and leadership coach Karen Ansen for a powerful conversation about presence, power, conflict, and what it really costs leaders when they disconnect from themselves in the name of professionalism. Karen brings decades of experience working with leaders in high-stakes, emotionally charged environments—law, HR, and organizational conflict—and names what many leaders feel but rarely say out loud: avoiding discomfort doesn't create peace; it creates problems. Together, Jenn and Karen explore why presence is not a “nice-to-have,” how healthy conflict actually builds trust, and why curiosity—not control—is one of the most underrated leadership skills. This episode is for leaders who are tired of performing strength and ready to practice it. Here's What's in the Episode: [01:15] How leadership erosion happens quietly and why self-abandonment is a hidden leadership risk. [06:24] Why “professionalism” often blocks leadership presence and emotional intelligence at work. [10:45] Big personalities in leadership: why confidence in women leaders is misread as a problem. [15:12] The cost of avoiding self-awareness, mindfulness, and emotional presence in leadership. [20:59] People management and leadership stress: why leading humans is the hardest leadership skill. [23:33] Letting go of control in leadership: how outcome detachment improves communication and trust. [30:06] Conflict management for leaders: a practical framework for difficult conversations without avoidance or escalation. Leaders searching for leadership presence, emotional intelligence at work, and conflict management skills often assume they need better scripts, stronger authority, or tighter control. This episode challenges that assumption—exploring how self-awareness in leadership, mindfulness at work, and staying present during difficult conversations actually build trust, reduce defensiveness, and improve team communication You'll hear practical insights on managing people under pressure, leading through conflict, and how letting go of control can make you a more effective, human leader—without sacrificing credibility or results. Key Takeaway Joy at work isn't about shunning discomfort quickly—it's about staying present long enough to learn from it. About the Guest: Karen Ansen Karen Ansen is an employment lawyer, HR strategist, and leadership coach based in Australia. She is the principal of Ignite HR and the founder of Ignite Your Purpose, where she works with leaders navigating conflict, complexity, and high-stakes decision-making without sacrificing their humanity.

Jeff Korzenik, the chief economist at a major US bank, explains how predicting a labor shortage in the US led him to discover the growing movement around "second chance" hiring of people with criminal records.  His passion for this work led him to write "Untapped Talent," a book that explains to companies the benefits of this type of hiring and offers a blueprint of how best to do it.  Jeff describes how second chance hiring can transform lives and communities.    Chapters: 00:00 Introduction to Jeff Korzenik's Work  This chapter introduces Jeff Korzenik, Chief Economist and author of Untapped Talent, highlighting his unique background as a bank executive focused on hiring people with criminal records.   03:14 From Economics to Second Chances  Jeff Korzenik explains how his work on second-chance hiring evolved from his economic research into labor force challenges, initially focusing on the opioid epidemic.   05:51 The Staggering Numbers of Incarceration  Jeff outlines the immense scale of incarceration and criminal records in the United States, emphasizing how the U.S. is an outlier globally.   09:05 Creating Hope in Prison Jeff discusses the inherent unfairness of a system where a prison sentence can become a life sentence due to employment discrimination. He shares how his book, 'Untapped Talent,' is distributed to incarcerated individuals to instill hope and remind them that they are a valuable resource, not a burden, through the generous support of others.  14:15 Employer Barriers and Solutions  Jeff addresses the common objections employers have to hiring individuals with criminal records: safety/liability, employee quality, and reputation risk. He explains that these concerns are valid but manageable through intelligent, business-based decisions, advocating for transparent and supportive hiring practices.  17:55 The Loyalty of Second Chance Hires  Jeff highlights that successful second-chance hiring relies on traditional hiring models, adapted to understand and support candidates with criminal records.   23:23 Virtuous Cycle of Success  Jeff explains the 'snowballing effect' of success in second-chance hiring, where companies known for fair chance employment receive high-quality referrals and build strong community relationships.   26:08 Empathy and Boundaries in Hiring  Jeff advocates for people to visit prisons to humanize the incarcerated and understand their experiences.   33:28 Challenges Post-Release and 'Ban the Box'  Jeff illustrates the immense hurdles individuals face immediately after release from prison, from securing basic necessities to navigating a changed world with minimal support. He explains why state-mandated 'ban the box' policies have often been ineffective, and instead suggests that voluntary removal of the box by truly committed employers sends a powerful, positive signal to job seekers.  39:17 Impact on Fellow Employees and Society  Jeff discusses how to integrate second-chance hires into a company's workforce, emphasizing that transparency and context are key to addressing potential employee concerns.   43:43 Untapped Potential and Future Optimism  Jeff expresses immense optimism about the future of second-chance hiring, despite being in the very early stages of leveraging this vast talent pool.   49:10 Resources and Multi-Generational Impact  Jeff provides resources for companies interested in second-chance hiring, including the Second Chance Business Coalition and SHRM's 'Getting Talent Back to Work' certification. He underscores the profound multi-generational benefits of fair chance employment, emphasizing its role in breaking cycles of incarceration and fostering a virtuous cycle of community safety and economic prosperity. 

What if one day a week could transform your family? In today's busy culture, families rarely slow down long enough to rest, reconnect, and refocus on what matters most. Work, activities, and endless schedules quietly push relationships and spiritual rhythms to the margins. In Episode 285 of The Family Meeting Podcast, Thomas and Lysandra talk about the importance of establishing a weekly Sabbath or family day, a regular rhythm of rest, connection, and spiritual renewal. In this episode, you'll learn: Why God designed the Sabbath as a gift, not a burden. How a weekly family day strengthens relationships and emotional health. The difference between passive rest and intentional renewal. Practical ways to create a meaningful Sabbath rhythm for your family. Ideas for slowing down, reconnecting, and resetting each week. Biblical wisdom about rest, margin, and trust in God. When families never stop moving, they slowly drift apart. But when they intentionally pause, they rediscover what matters most. If you feel like your family life is running too fast, this episode will help you build a weekly rhythm of rest that brings peace, connection, and renewal. Subscribe for weekly conversations on marriage, parenting, and faith. Bonus Resource: Send an email to info@familymeeting.org for our Family Sabbath Planning Guide.

How to Grow Your Business With SEO (Without Social Media) — Faith Hanan on Her Faith at WorkEpisode OverviewAre you tired of posting on Instagram and TikTok every day — only to watch your content die in 24 hours? In this episode of Her Faith at Work, host Jan Touchberry sits down with Faith Hanan, accidental SEO expert, copywriter, barrel racer, and mom of three, to talk about one of the most powerful (and misunderstood) tools for growing a Christian woman's business online: search engine optimization.Faith has not posted on social media for her business in over three years — and her business is still growing. In this conversation, she breaks down why SEO is the "crockpot of marketing," how to find the right keywords for your business, and what tools you can use today even if your budget is $0.About Faith HananFaith Hanan is an accidental SEO expert, copywriter, podcaster, homeschool mom, worship leader, and competitive barrel racer. She runs a copywriting and SEO agency and teaches faith-filled entrepreneurs how to scale their online businesses using SEO, keywords, and blogging — all in less than 20 hours a week.She is the host of the Simple SEO & Marketing podcast and creator of the Simple SEO Framework (SSF) group coaching program.What You'll Learn in This EpisodeWhat SEO actually is — and why it shortens your sales cycle by putting you in front of "hot leads" instead of cold audiencesWhy social media content has a half-life of less than 24 hours (and what to do instead)How Faith hasn't posted on social media for her business in 3+ years — and still growsThe #1 mistake entrepreneurs make with keywords (hint: you're speaking a different language than your customers)Why targeting 120 highly specific monthly searches beats chasing 10,000 broad onesThe free tools you can start using today: Ubersuggest and Google Search ConsoleHow to know if your SEO is actually workingFaith's simple framework: get your core pages optimized first, then add SEO-rich blog contentHow to write an SEO-optimized blog post in 90 minutes and maintain your traffic machine in 2 hours a weekKey TakeawaysWhat is SEO and why does it matter for small business owners?SEO (Search Engine Optimization) helps search engines like Google understand what your business does and surface your website to the right people at the right time. Unlike social media, which dies within 24 hours, SEO-optimized content can drive traffic for years. Faith describes it as "the crockpot of marketing" — you do the work upfront and results compound over time.How do I find the right keywords for my business?Faith recommends a two-step process:Start on paper — brainstorm words and phrases your ideal client would type into Google when searching for the problem you solve.Then validate with a tool — Ubersuggest (free version) connects directly to Google's API and gives you real search data, not estimates.Key insight: A keyword with only 120 monthly searches from your exact ideal client is far more valuable than a keyword with 10,000 monthly searches dominated by Nike and Under Armour.How long does SEO take to work?Most businesses start seeing results within 1.5 to 3 months, with more significant momentum around 6 months.

How do you build a massive creative world without getting overwhelmed by the size of the vision?In this clip, Genevieve LeDoux shares the origin story of Star Forest — and how it all began with a simple observation from her son during the pandemic: “I like Queen, but I don't know what a Bohemian Rhapsody is.”That moment sparked a deeper question: why wasn't there music for kids that felt elevated, emotional, and imaginative — without talking down to them?From there, Genevieve broke a huge idea into the smallest possible first step: make the album first. That decision became the foundation for what would eventually grow into the larger Star Forest universe.This is a great clip for any creative person trying to figure out how to start before they have all the answers.

From the lottery of birth to the timing of a missed phone call, Mark’s research shows how much of what we call success—or failure—comes down to forces we never chose.
