Podcasts about Workload

Today, Hunter was joined once again by Eric Tindal, a criminal defense lawyer in Iowa. He joined to explain issues Public Defenders in Iowa are facing. While the contract system is on the verge of breaking, the Public Defenders secured a major win for the right to stand up against excessive workloads. With the challenges the system faces, the two discuss if new tough on crime polices will be the straw that breaks the camels back?   Guest: Eric Tindal, Criminal Defense Lawyer, Iowa   Resource: Contact Eric eric@keeganlegal.com   Read about the Supreme Court Case Here https://www.iowacourts.gov/courtcases/24301/embed/SupremeCourtOpinion   Contact Hunter Parnell:      Publicdefenseless@gmail.com  Instagram @PublicDefenselessPodcast Twitter                                                                 @PDefenselessPod www.publicdefenseless.com  Subscribe to the Patreon www.patreon.com/PublicDefenselessPodcast  Donate on PayPal https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=5KW7WMJWEXTAJ Donate on Stripe https://donate.stripe.com/7sI01tb2v3dwaM8cMN Trying to find a specific part of an episode?

With Jonquel Jones and Sabrina Ionescu sidelined, Han Xu stepped into the starting lineup — and the New York Liberty picked up their fifth win of the season, 89-80 over the Connecticut Sun. But the final score doesn't tell the whole story.Erica and Brian break down what the Liberty's reserve depth actually looks like when the starters sit, what Han Xu's performance in an expanded role means for this roster, and why the turnover problem isn't going away on its own.The bigger question: are these minutes a gift — a chance for the second unit to build real chemistry and confidence heading into the stretch run? Or should Liberty fans be uneasy about how close games have been against lower-seeded opponents?Subscribe for weekly New York Liberty coverage from Gotta Get Up! — the only dedicated Liberty podcast and YouTube show.

The burnout no one talks about, and the feminine way out of it || ⇢ WATCH ON YOUTUBE: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ndGIGCNhtdI If you're a high-achieving woman who leads teams, runs a business, or carries the mental load at home (or all three), leadership and visibility fatigue are likely draining you. Monica dives into how to operate like a woman instead of like a man, and how doing so will help you become the healthiest, wealthiest, and happiest version of yourself. In this episode: 

Analysis of James Cook's workload explores the risk of a performance dip similar to Saquon Barkley's career trajectory. Discussion covers using data to manage touches and concludes with a surprising comparison of career rushing attempts between Cook and Josh Allen.

Most nonprofit leaders know what burnout feels like. But not everyone burns out the same way.In this episode, Tosha Anderson sits down with Britt Stockert, Certified Fundraising Executive and coach at Donorbox, to talk about something that rarely comes up in the nonprofit leadership conversation: neurodivergence and the invisible workload it creates.Britt and Tosha both share their own experiences realizing, in their 40s, that what they thought was anxiety, over-ambition, or just being "a lot" was actually something more specific. And they explore why the nonprofit sector may be uniquely positioned to both attract and burn out neurodivergent leaders at an alarming rate.In this conversation, you'll hear about:What "superhero mode" looks like in practice, and why it eventually collapsesThe secondary operating system neurodivergent leaders carry that neurotypical colleagues don'tWhy neurodivergent burnout often goes undetected in teams until it's a crisisWhat alexithymia is and why it matters for nonprofit leadersSmall, practical changes that leaders and organizations can make right nowWhy a formal diagnosis is not required to start advocating for yourselfThis is one of those episodes that will make a lot of people feel a lot less alone.Read more on our blog: https://thecharitycfo.com/neurodivergent-burnout-nonprofit-leaders/Connect With Brittan Stockert

Burnout in high stress jobs isn't always about doing too much; sometimes it's about a belief you were never taught to question.You finished your day, finished (most) of your tasks, and you still can't switch off. Most people assume that's a workload problem, but the reason people in demanding roles like medicine can't genuinely rest isn't about how much they've done - it's about what they've been conditioned to believe about rest itselfIn this episode, Rachel introduces the Superhero Delusion: the conviction that the rules about rest apply to other people. Not to you. She explores how that belief was built, why burnout recovery starts with understanding rest differently, and what sustainable work actually requires.We cover:Why you can't switch off - and why workload isn't the real reasonThe Superhero Delusion: the conviction that the rules about rest apply to other people, not youHow the belief that rest has to be earned gets installed - and who installed itWhat sustainable work actually requires (and it isn't more discipline)This episode is for you if you're the person who has to be on even when you're officially off. Who takes annual leave and spends the first two days mentally finishing the handover. Who lies awake replaying the list of things that didn't get done - and is still asking whether any amount of done would ever feel like enough.

A fundamental structural shift underway is the movement of AI from isolated features to operationalized, production-level workloads in MSP tooling and client environments. This transition is not primarily about the capabilities of individual AI models but about their integration into existing operational platforms and workflows. Companies such as PDQ, Senteon, Domotz, and Zoom are incorporating AI agents directly into management layers, endpoint automation, and workflow orchestration, thereby increasing both the scope and complexity of AI impact. The locus of value is shifting from features to workflow control and integration, creating new demands for governance, consumption monitoring, and exit strategies. The most consequential development referenced is the transition in AI billing and operational models from static user or seat licenses to variable, usage-based consumption. He cites TechCrunch's coverage of GitHub Copilot's move to token-based billing and Semafor's reporting of Uber's rapid exhaustion of its 2026 AI budget in four months due to unbounded consumption by generative tools. F5's State of Application Strategy report is referenced to confirm that multi-cloud and parallel model operations are now common, with significant instances of AI-related security incidents already reported. Secondary developments reinforce this structural realignment of risk and accountability. PDQ, for instance, is expanding multi-tenant management and integration capabilities, while Senteon enables endpoint hardening and drift control directly in Rewst's platform. Domotz's MCP server allows AI agents to operate across 40,000 networks globally, and Zoom is packaging AI context protocol features for workflow automation. Each of these changes is designed to increase operational efficiency, but also expand the surface area for unintended consequences, elevated operational complexity, and potential budget overruns. For MSPs and IT leaders, the operational implications center on governance, spend control, and clear accountability over AI-driven tools and workflows. The risk is that without adequate monitoring, policy setting, and contractual clarity—especially around data portability and exit costs—MSPs may face liability for unplanned consumption, misconfigured automation, or governance gaps. The evidence indicates the need to proactively audit AI integrations, set usage thresholds, instrument logging and budgeting controls, and renegotiate vendor contracts to ensure service boundaries and oversight mechanisms are in place before workflows become too deeply embedded. 00:00 MSP Stack Resets  04:09 AI Needs Governance 06:45 Govern AI or Pay 09:22 Why Do We Care?  Supported by:  Nerdio Zero Networks

On this edition of Take It Or Leave It, we tackle a bold Buccaneers prediction: could Kenny Gainwell see just as much work as Bucky Irving in Tampa Bay's backfield in 2026? While Irving emerged as a key weapon for the Bucs, Gainwell brings versatility, pass-catching ability, and experience that could earn him a much larger role than many expect. Is a near-even workload realistic, or is Irving still clearly the lead back? We break down the potential backfield dynamics, how the offense could evolve, and whether this take is worth buying—or leaving behind.

Steve and Jeff recapped the Spurs' dominant Game 6 victory over the Thunder in the Western Conference Finals and the start of the NCAA Baseball Tournament. Kevin Foote, a UL Ragin' Cajuns reporter for The Acadiana Advocate, previewed Louisiana baseball's journey in the Starkville regional. The guys listened to media availability from Chris Olave, Jordyn Tyson, Jonas Sanker, Martin Emerson, and Erik McCoy after the Saints' recent OTA workout. Steve and Jeff also interviewed Sean Deveney, an NBA insider for Heavy.com, about the NBA Playoffs and the Pelicans' decision to hire Jamahl Mosley as the franchise's next head coach.

A surgeon hurls a scalpel across theatre. It clatters off the wall. Nobody looks up. Twenty minutes later he's in the tearoom offering everyone a biscuit, and someone shrugs: "That's just him when he's stressed."If you've worked in veterinary practice for any length of time, you've got your own version of that story - maybe a bit less dramatic, but still things that completely destroy psychological safety.  This episode is about that stuff, and the new psychosocial safety laws now rolling out across Australia that say plainly: no, actually, that's not acceptable. To make sense of what that looks like on a normal Tuesday in a normal practice, you'll hear from psychologist Rhonda Andrews, who works across high-pressure industries - emergency departments, the courts, and the veterinary profession - and who has spent years watching them all wrestle with the same problem: people breaking. This conversation is not about “just be more resilient”, but about systems. Rhonda makes a genuinely good-news case that these laws aren't more bureaucracy to dread - they're the push our profession has needed all along.You'll hear Why the things you've always filed under "just  part the job" might now legally count as a psychological workplace injury - with consequences attachedThe myth spreading fastest right now - that bosses can no longer have an honest performance conversation - and why that's flatly wrong What the new psychosocial safety laws actually require of you as a practice ownerWhy this a team problem, not just something for management to sort outWhy "workload" is almost never the real problem - and the thing breaking your team underneath it that owners consistently missThe one shift available to everyone in the building - whatever their title - that changes culture without a single policy changeA note: this is the second in a small psych-safety miniseries. If you haven't heard Episode 158 with Dr Rebecca Faris on the AVA Thrive programme, start there for the bigger picture.Resources:Barrington Centre - Rhonda's psychosocial safety seminars (two online sessions, plus an in-person Melbourne day) and the Vet ECM training programmes for owners, leaders, and new supervisors: barringtoncentre.comFor show notes, clinical content and the newsletter head to thevetvault.com, and come find your people at a Vets On Tour conference -  email me at info@thevetvault.com to find out about our new-grad 50% discount for Wānaka inAugust.Topics and time stamps04:52 Rising Mental Health Claims08:41 Mythbusting Owners Fears10:37 Defining Psychological Safety12:37 Vets Staying in Bad Jobs14:28 Sponsor Break Vets On Tour16:03 Systems vs Individual Responsibility19:35 Burnout Stats and Human Cost21:17 Who Can Influence Culture?22:46 Is Vet Work Uniquely Hard?24:05 Human Sector Parallels29:15 Business Model Reality Check30:18 ROI of Retention32:20 Psychosocial Safety Laws37:34 Workload and Rostering Fixes42:44 Leadership and Being Heard45:27 From Blame to Pathways50:27 Training Programs and Teams52:58 Myth Busting Performance Reviews54:27 Final Takeaways

Most leaders think high turnover is a retention problem. But it's not; it's a leadership problem. And the fix is the exact opposite of what most leaders do.Staff turnover is still widely misunderstood. And most leaders operate from a place of fear, responding to it defensively.They tiptoe around their people, lower the standards, and tolerate poor performance so they don't rock the boat. But, ironically, this is the worst thing you could possibly do for your retention problem. In this episode I give you my views on how to frame the turnover problem; I look at an article from Harvard Business Review that confirms what great leaders have always known. And I give you a practical framework that you can implement: four things to stop doing and four things to start doing.Links mentioned in this episode:No Bullsh!t Leadership episodes:Ep.27: Unleashing the Power of Your PeopleEp.355: The New Rules for High Performing TeamsHarvard Business Review article:Surprising Ways to Reduce Turnover in High-Pressure, High-Skill JobsSupporting research:Operational Overload: The Impact of Workload on High-Skilled Workforce AttritionWikipedia link:Yerkes-Dodson LawNurse Org article:Nursing Demand His New HIghLBT link:Leadership Beyond the Theory————————Have you taken our free Leadership Blindspot test?✨ In just 5 minutes you'll uncover the hidden leadership habits holding you back.Get your Blindspot Score and know exactly what to fix before it costs your career!TAKE THE FREE TEST HERE————————You can connect with me at:Website: https://www.yourceomentor.comFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/yourceomentorInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/yourceomentorLinkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/martin-moore-075b001/Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@YourCEOMentor————————Our mission here at Your CEO Mentor is to improve the quality of leaders, globally. ✨ If you've finished Leadership Beyond the Theory but still find yourself needing a sounding board for the real leadership challenges, applications are now open for the next intake of The No Bullsh!t Leaders Club.Join Marty, Em, and 90+ high calibre leaders for straight answers, tough conversations, and ongoing support to help you lead at a higher standard: leadershipbeyondthetheory.com/nblc Hosted on Acast.

In this episode, Andrew breaks down the concept of the Acute:Chronic Workload Ratio (ACWR) in a practical and easy-to-understand way for athletes, coaches, parents, and practitioners. Rather than getting lost in complicated formulas or sports science jargon, this discussion focuses on the bigger coaching and performance lesson behind ACWR — why sudden spikes in workload can become problematic when athletes are not properly prepared for the demands being placed on their bodies.Andrew explains how workload management is not about avoiding hard training, but instead about progressively building an athlete's capacity to tolerate sprinting, jumping, conditioning, lifting, and sport-specific demands over time. He also discusses why undertraining and underexposure can sometimes be just as risky as overtraining, especially when competition intensity suddenly exceeds what an athlete has been consistently prepared for.Throughout the episode, Andrew shares practical examples and coaching insights to help listeners better understand how intelligent progression, preparation, and monitoring can improve resilience, reduce breakdown, and optimize long-term athletic performance. Whether you are an athlete, coach, clinician, or parent, this episode provides valuable perspective on balancing performance development with athlete preparedness. Enjoy the episode!

Index drauf und fertig. Klingt nach einem soliden Plan, oder? Leider nur so lange, bis die Daten wachsen, der Workload kippt oder der Optimizer plötzlich andere Entscheidungen trifft. Dann wird aus dem vermeintlichen Performance-Booster schnell ein Bremsklotz. Genau hier steigen wir in dieser Episode ein und schauen uns an, warum Indexstrukturen in Datenbanken viel mehr sind als ein technischer Quick Fix.Wir sprechen darüber, was ein Index eigentlich ist, wie Datenstruktur, Algorithmus, Hardware und Workload zusammenhängen und warum Begriffe wie Selektivität, Kardinalität, Full Table Scan, Write Amplification und Cache-Lokalität in der Praxis entscheidend sind. Außerdem schauen wir auf typische Datenbank-Themen wie Primary Key, B-Tree, Binary Search, Covering Index, Optimizer, Slow Query Log und Explain Statements. Dabei wird auch klar, warum ein Index manchmal hilft, manchmal ignoriert wird und manchmal sogar langsamer ist als gar kein Index.Wenn du mit PostgreSQL, MySQL, MariaDB oder ganz allgemein mit Datenbank-Performance arbeitest, bekommst du hier ein solides Fundament und einige praktische Denkanstöße für deinen Alltag als Softwareentwickler:in. Und ja, wir sprechen auch über Invisible Indexes in MySQL. Ein Feature, das fast wie ein Zaubertrick klingt, aber beim Testen und beim sicheren Aufräumen von Legacy-Systemen überraschend praktisch sein kann. Viel Spaß beim Hören und vielleicht beim anschließenden Blick auf dein Datenbankschema.Unsere aktuellen Werbepartner findest du auf https://engineeringkiosk.dev/partnersDas schnelle Feedback zur Episode:

MONEY QUOTES: "The Internal Customer Crisis: Why Your Employees Are Quitting (And It's Not About Money)" "Nearly 75% of employee turnover is preventable." "Your job is to be the source of certainty in the chaos." THE DATA: Work Institute: 15,000 exit interviews in 2025, part of 120,000+ interviews from 2020-2025. Nearly 75% of employee turnover is preventable. MIT Sloan: Toxic workplace culture is the number one reason people quit, 10x more predictive than compensation. Gallup: Only 23% of employees are actively engaged. If you have 10 people, only 2-3 are truly engaged. The other 7-8 are going through the motions. People aren't quitting because of perks, pay, or flexibility. They're quitting because you're not giving them the 5 Cs.   THE 5 Cs YOUR EMPLOYEES NEED: 1. Context: The big picture. How does their work matter? Where is the company going? 2. Clarity: What does success look like? What are the priorities? What's expected? 3. Communication: Transparent conversations. Early problem surfacing. No surprises. 4. Consistency: Weekly rhythm. Reliable cadence. Predictable structure. 5. Certainty: Trust. Belief in the vision. Coaching for their highest potential. The one leaders miss most: Certainty.   WHAT CERTAINTY MEANS: Certainty isn't about guarantees. It's about creating psychological safety in an uncertain world. It's about your employees knowing: - "My leader believes in me." - "My leader has my back." - "My leader sees my potential and is invested in helping me reach it." - "Even when things are hard, I trust that we'll figure it out together." Certainty is the foundation of everything else. Without it, nothing else works. It is your job as the leader to create certainty. Not HR. Not a program. You. Your employees are living in an uncertain world. In the absence of certainty, people panic. They disengage. They leave. Your job is to be the source of certainty in the chaos.   WHY EMPLOYEES QUIT: REASON #1: They can't see a future (Career Development) Career growth has been the number one driver of turnover for decades. Not pay. Not perks. Growth. The 5 Cs failure: No Context (how their growth fits the bigger picture), No Clarity (what skills to build or what success looks like), No Certainty (they don't trust you're invested in their future). What you need: Role clarity that defines what great looks like and what the path forward is.   REASON #2: Their manager is the problem (Manager Behavior) People don't leave companies. They leave managers. The problem isn't technical. It's behavioral. How managers communicate. How they handle pressure. How they treat people when things get challenging. The 5 Cs failure: No Communication (managers avoid hard topics), No Consistency (managers are unpredictable, moody, reactive), No Certainty (managers don't believe in their people, they micromanage or abandon, they don't coach or create safety). Certainty is the hardest C for managers to deliver because it requires them to show up as leaders, not just task managers. What you need: A weekly rhythm that structures one-on-ones, creates space for coaching conversations, and builds certainty through consistency.   REASON #3: Work-life balance is unsustainable (Workload and Flexibility) This isn't about remote work or flexible hours. It's about unrealistic expectations, unclear priorities, and constant firefighting. Employees don't know what's most important, what they can say no to, or when "good enough" is actually good enough. So they try to do everything. And they burn out. The 5 Cs failure: No Clarity (priorities are unclear, everything is urgent), No Consistency (the rhythm is chaotic, meetings are random, expectations shift constantly), No Certainty (employees don't trust it's okay to set boundaries or push back). What you need: Decision boundaries that clarify what's theirs to own, what needs your input, and what they can let go of.   REASON #4: AI and job security uncertainty (Lack of Transparency) It's not fear of job loss. It's uncertainty about what AI means for them and their role. In the absence of clarity, employees fill in the blanks. Usually in ways that don't work in your favor. The lack of transparency creates anxiety. The 5 Cs failure: No Context (they don't understand why AI matters or how it fits the vision), No Communication (you're not talking about it or you're being vague), No Certainty (they don't trust you'll protect them, support them, or help them adapt). Your job as the leader is to say: "Here's what's changing. Here's what's staying the same. Here's how you fit into the future. I believe in you. We'll figure this out together." What you need: Transparent communication built into your weekly rhythm so change doesn't blindside your team.   REASON #5: The day-to-day experience wears them down (Culture and Recognition) This is the slow bleed. Not one big thing. Just a thousand small things that add up over time. Their wins go unnoticed. Their concerns go unheard. Their effort goes unrecognized. They feel invisible. The 5 Cs failure: No Communication (you're not listening, acknowledging, or seeing them), No Certainty (they don't feel valued, they don't trust their work matters, they don't believe you care). What you need: A consistent rhythm that creates space for recognition, celebration, and connection.   THE PATTERN: Every reason employees quit comes back to the same problem: You're not giving them the 5 Cs. And the one you're missing most? Certainty. Because certainty is hard. It requires you to show up as a leader, not just a manager. It requires you to believe in your people, even when they don't believe in themselves. It requires you to create safety, trust, and confidence in an uncertain world. Most leaders have never been taught how to do that. So they default to managing tasks. And their people leave.   THE REAL PROBLEM: You don't have an internal customer experience strategy built on the 5 Cs. Turnover has slowed, but the underlying frustration hasn't. Employees are staying longer, not because they're fully bought in, but because they're watching, waiting, and quietly reassessing whether it's worth sticking around. That's the real risk. Not mass exits, but quiet disengagement building under the surface. The gap between staying and committing is where most organizations are losing people. They just don't see it yet. You can't fix this with another perk, another program, or another pizza party. You fix it by building the infrastructure that delivers the 5 Cs.   THE SOLUTION: Bulletproof COO builds the infrastructure that creates the internal customer experience your team is craving. 3-5 short conversations. You talk. The system builds: - Role clarity so employees know what great looks like and what's next - Decision boundaries so they know what's theirs to own - Documented standards so expectations are clear - A weekly rhythm that creates consistency, communication, and certainty - An onboarding process that delivers context from day one Your team gets the 5 Cs. You stop being the bottleneck. Your A-players stay. Mediocrity loses its hiding place. Most importantly, you create certainty. Because the system gives you the structure to show up as a leader, not just a firefighter. Stop losing your best people to preventable turnover. Go to bulletproofbusinessgrowth.com/coo   ACTION STEP: Ask yourself: Are you creating certainty for your team? Or are you leaving them to navigate the chaos alone?

In this episode of Being Human, Richard Atherton talks with Dr. Liane Davey, an organisational psychologist, New York Times bestselling author, and co-founder of 3COze Inc. Liane has spent more than thirty years studying what helps teams succeed and what causes them to quietly fall apart. Her new book, Thoughtload: Manage the Madness and Free Your Team to Do Great Work, began with a moment on stage when someone in the audience challenged the idea that workload was the main problem. Liane paused during her talk and said for the first time, "It's not the workload that's killing us — it's the thought load." That line caught the room and launched the idea. Thoughtload is the hidden cost that affects how you perform and show up at work. It comes from growing mental demands, an emotionally unsettled world that follows you into the office, and the idea that you shouldn't take time to recharge.   We talk:  Why "priorities" had no plural The invisible tax on your focus Emotions vs. feelings at work Energy as a renewable resource The 15-minute overwhelm fix Links: Liane Davey Thoughtload (book + resources) Liane on LinkedIn

If you constantly find yourself picking up tasks that nobody else will do, staying late to cover gaps, or slowly absorbing more and more without anyone asking you to - this episode is going to name exactly what's happening.Occupational psychologist Leanne Elliott joins Rachel to unpack why over-responsibility isn't a personality flaw; it's what happens when you don't have absolute clarity on what tasks are definitely part of your role – and, more crucially, what tasks aren't.They explore why conscientious professionals in under-resourced settings are most at risk, how the 'if I don't do it, who will?' question keeps people stuck, and what you can actually do this week to start auditing what belongs on your plate and what doesn't.Key TakeawaysRole clarity is a recognised psychosocial risk factor, and when it's absent, taking on extra work feels like the only option, even when it's pushing you towards burnout.A simple daily audit - writing down tasks that drained you, that weren't in your role, or that you did out of fear rather than responsibility – can give you the data to have important but calmer and less personal conversations with your team about your roles.Rest and recovery are not the same thing. Knowing your recovery activities and protecting time for them is a skill, not a luxury.Resources Mentioned:The Twenty Questions: How do I know if I'm a workaholic?Get more episodes and resources by joining FrogXtraMentioned in this episode:Download Your Free Overwhelm SOS Guide Discover the simple, step-by-step process you need to calm your mind, take control of your tasks, and get yourself out of overwhelm.

Episode 422 is the debut of Decoded by Identity at the Center, a new sub-series hosted by Jeff Steadman and Sean O'Dell dedicated to unpacking the specifications and standards powering IAM. Joining them is Pieter Kasselman, VP of Open Standards at Defakto and chair of the WIMSE working group. The conversation covers why traditional non-human identity approaches break at agentic scale, how SPIFFE and SPIRE enable short-lived automated credential provisioning without long-lived secrets, and why treating agents as workloads unlocks a decade of existing standards. Pieter walks through critical OAuth specs including JWT authorization grant, token exchange, client ID metadata, and the emerging transaction tokens draft. Sean connects these to practical gateway architecture, continuous access evaluation, and policy-based authorization. The episode closes with real-world deployment examples and a clear takeaway: the tools to secure agentic identity are available today.Episode Links:Pieter Kasselman: https://www.linkedin.com/in/pieter-kasselman-0259862/AI Agent Authentication and Authorization: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-klrc-aiagent-auth/Workload Identity in Multi-system environments (WIMSE): https://ietf-wg-wimse.github.io/OAuth SPIFFE Client Authentication: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-oauth-spiffe-client-auth/Transaction Tokens: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-oauth-transaction-tokens/08/Agentic Identity Control Framework.

Thoughtload — not workload — is what's breaking your team. In this conversation, Dr. Liane Davey explains why, and what leaders can actually do about it. Dr. Liane Davey is an organizational psychologist, New York Times bestselling author, and co-founder of 3COze Inc., where she advises executive teams at companies like Amazon, Walmart, TD Bank, and Sony PlayStation. Known as the Teamwork Doctor, she has spent 25 years helping cross-functional teams — from Boston to Bangkok — move from dysfunction to high performance. She's a regular contributor to the Harvard Business Review and the author of The Good Fight, You First, and Thoughtload: Manage the Madness and Free Your Team to Do Great Work (Page Two Books, May 2026). Liane's rocket-booster moment came twice: once when she failed first-year calculus and stumbled into organizational psychology, and again when she made the deliberate decision — six years into her first firm — to “repot” herself at a smaller, more strategy-focused practice. That repotting set the trajectory for everything that followed. Whether you're a senior leader watching your team burn out, a manager trying to make sense of context-switching chaos, or a knowledge worker who can feel the weight of 20 mental tabs open at once, this episode offers a new vocabulary for what's actually wrong — and a practical path toward lighter, more focused work.

If teacher planning has started to feel like a summer-long apology for not being “ahead enough,” it might be time to question the whole system. Because the goal was never to build an entire year before August. The goal is to create a starting point that actually reduces your teacher workload once real students, real pacing, and real classroom needs show up.For secondary teachers, especially anyone managing more than one prep or building courses without a boxed curriculum, planning can feel like the only way to create control. But overplanning often steals your summer and still leaves you rebuilding in the fall. Better teacher planning is not about doing more in June. It's about choosing the right pieces to build first.This conversation reframes what preparedness can look like for the multiple prep teacher who is tired of reinventing every lesson, every unit, and every system from scratch. You'll hear why a single strong starting unit can serve you better than a half-finished year of plans, and why repeatable lesson structures are one of the most practical secondary teacher strategies for reducing decision fatigue.The real shift is simple but not always easy: stop planning for an imaginary perfect school year and start building for the one you'll actually teach. That means using one reliable lesson flow, one maintainable organization system, and one clear unit to anchor your first weeks back.Teacher productivity does not come from filling every minute of summer with curriculum work. It comes from creating structures you can trust when the year gets busy. And teacher work life balance is not something you earn after everything is finished. It is something you protect by refusing to overbuild plans that may not survive September.This is the first conversation in a summer planning series designed to help secondary teachers plan with more clarity, less overwhelm, and a lot more respect for their actual lives.Too many preps and not enough time?

Keep the Raccoons Out: Service Mesh, MCP, and Securing Agentic Workloads With William Morgan, CEO of Buoyant and creator of Linkerd Linkerd just turned 10, so we brought on the person who built it and coined the term “service mesh” in the first place. William Morgan joins Jonathan and Justin to talk about where service mesh came from, where it’s going, and the very specific kind of chaos that agentic AI is about to unleash on anyone who owns a Kubernetes cluster. The short version: lock your doors, because the raccoons are coming. “Our job is basically to make Linkerd as boring as possible.” William traces Linkerd’s origins back to Twitter’s infrastructure work between 2010 and 2014, when a Ruby on Rails monolith turned into a sprawling distributed system — the same problems we have today, just a different decade. As the fifth project ever to join the CNCF, Linkerd has had a front-row seat to the ecosystem’s evolution, and William explains why his actual goal these days is to make it as boring as humanly possible: the kind of dependable infrastructure layer you can trust to still be around in another 90 years. That’s also why he’s not adding AI to Linkerd — an infrastructure layer has to be fast, lightweight, and predictable, and generative AI is the opposite of all three. “At some point your agentic workload is going to figure out how to delete the production database. And it’s going to try it.” The heart of the conversation is what the AI wave means for the platform teams who own the clusters. Developers just got an army of AI assistants, and that has real consequences for CI/CD, code quality, and blast radius. William digs into the boundary problem — agentic workloads are untrusted but need access to your most important systems — and why zero trust has suddenly stopped being optional now that the code hitting your database no longer clears peer review and a security committee. Along the way they get into cache-aware routing that can take a 13-second inference call down to one, the still-unsolved mess of agentic identity, and why we keep anthropomorphizing these tools and letting our guard down. “If you don’t use Linkerd, your data system will be overrun by raccoons.” Finally, they turn to MCP — building a catalog of MCP servers, detecting tool calls, and adding DLP-style protection in front of the services an agent never sees. But William’s real point is that MCP is something of a red herring for a much older problem: uncontrolled access to your APIs. Whatever protocol you use, once an unconstrained workload is loose in your environment, you need an immune system to keep it in check. Links and resources: Linkerd:

    Law firm leaders don't burn out from the workload—they burn out from the workload that never gets finished. In this episode, Molly reveals why exhaustion and lack of trust have nothing to do with having a heavy workload or being "too busy" with workload demands. The real problem is open loops within your workload—unfinished tasks, unclear ownership, and missed follow-ups that drain energy and stall growth. Real leadership isn't about taking on more workload. It's about closing loops within your workload, creating clarity, and building systems that ensure the workload actually gets done.   Key Takeaways:  Burnout in law firms is driven by unfinished tasks, poor follow-up systems, and lack of clear workflows, not workload. Disorganized offices and clutter signal broken law firm processes, weak operations, and lack of structure. Inconsistent communication and missed follow-ups lead to low trust between attorneys and staff. Being "busy" often reflects poor time management, lack of systems, and reactive leadership. Closing open loops with clear ownership, task management systems, and defined processes increases productivity and growth.   Quote for the Show: "You're not exhausted because of your workload. You're exhausted because of your open loops." - Molly Mcgrath Links: Website: https://hiringandempowering.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/hiringandempowering Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/hiringandempowering LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/hiring&empoweringsolutions/ The Law Firm Admin Bootcamp + Academy™ : https://www.lawfirmadminbootcamp.com/ Get Fix My Boss Book: https://amzn.to/3PCeEhk   Ways to Tune In: Amazon Music - https://www.amazon.com/Hiring-and-Empowering-Solutions/dp/B08JJSLJ7N Apple Podcast - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/hiring-and-empowering-solutions/id1460184599 Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/3oIfsDDnEDDkcumTCygHDH Stitcher - https://www.stitcher.com/show/hiring-and-empowering-solutions YouTube - https://youtu.be/v4oNji5u52k
