In this episode, I share critical year-end reflections for growth-stage CEOs, especially those leading organizations of around 20 employees. As companies scale, leadership must shift from personal execution to empowering others and ensuring the business can thrive even in the leader's absence. I walk through seven powerful reflection questions designed to accelerate leadership growth, from identifying your highest-impact actions to confronting avoided conversations and evaluating how well you're adapting to what the future demands. This episode challenges leaders to lead with courage, rethink their approach for the year ahead, and strengthen both self-awareness and organizational health. All reflection questions are included in the show notes for easy reference. Episode Highlights & Time Stamps 3:09 Seven Reflection Questions for CEOs 6:33 Exploring Leadership Identity Changes 7:16 Leading with Courage in the New Year 7:54 First Steps to Empower Your Team 9:00 Closing Thoughts and Final Reflections Episode Summary In this episode, I guide growth-stage CEOs through a critical year-end reflection often missed during scale, especially around the 20-employee mark. As leadership demands increase, success is no longer about doing more yourself, but about building a business that can move forward without your constant presence. The episode challenges leaders to confront a simple but sobering truth: "If nothing changes in how you lead, this is exactly where your company will be next year." Through seven focused reflection questions, I help CEOs evaluate where their leadership truly creates leverage, where it limits growth, and what must change to build a healthier, more scalable organization. The 7 Reflection Questions The Leverage Audit Which 20% of your leadership actions created 80% of your company's momentum this year? The Impact Test Where did your leadership create meaningful growth in others, not just results? Who became more capable because you led differently? The Avoided Conversation What is the one conversation if addressed that would most reduce friction and free you as the CEO? The Capacity Gap Is the way you're currently leading sustainable for the next stage of growth? The CEO Identity Shift As your company grows, which parts of your founder identity are no longer serving you? Who must you become for the business to grow beyond you? The Courage Move If you were willing to lead with more courage, not more effort, what would you do differently in the first 90 days of the new year? The First Shift What is the first leadership behavior you will stop, start, or delegate in the next week to reinforce a business that doesn't depend on you? Closing Reflection If nothing changes in how you lead, where will your company and your energy be this time next year? All reflection questions are included here for easy reference. Key Takeaways Growth-stage CEOs often become the bottleneck around the 20-employee mark; scaling requires a shift from personal execution to leadership leverage. If your leadership approach does not change as the company grows, it will eventually limit both organizational performance and your personal energy. Effective leadership is measured not by how much you do, but by how well others perform and grow in your absence. Identifying the small set of leadership actions that drive the majority of results creates clarity, focus, and momentum. Avoided conversations are often the hidden source of organizational friction and CEO overload. The leadership style that helped you reach this stage may not be the one required for the next phase of growth. Courage not increased effort is the defining factor in meaningful leadership evolution. Small, intentional behavior shifts (what you stop, start, or delegate) can rapidly increase organizational independence. Year-end reflection is not passive; when done well, it becomes a strategic act that shapes the company's future. Sustainable growth depends on building a business that can operate and win without relying on the CEO's constant presence. Ideal For: Founders, CEOs, executives, managers, and anyone committed to elevating their leadership capacity. Resources & Next Steps Ready to take your leadership energy to the next level?

You've made it through another year. Maybe the holidays went well. Maybe you've eaten more cookies than planned and you're already dreading January. Either way, here's what I want you to know: Nothing is wrong with you. In this episode, I share my year-end love letter to you—a physician who's probably being too hard on herself. We'll talk about why your experience around food isn't a given (even with years of "evidence"), how to stop the internal tug-of-war with food, and why acknowledging your own needs matters more than any diet plan. This is for any woman physician ready to head into the new year without the shame spiral.
Send us a textIn this week's episode we discussed everything that happened in 2025. We had a lot of great episodes this year, as well as some big world events that happened. This show has seen a lot of growth over this past year, and we are grateful to everyone who has tuned in this year. We hope that you are as excited as we are about the things to come in the new year!Our Links:Retrospect
Show Notes The RPGBOT crew closes out Season 5 the only way they know how: with heartfelt gratitude, passionate rants, accidental comedy, and at least one derailment into pop culture discourse. In this end-of-year recap, Randall, Tyler, and Ash look back on a year of certified bangers, a few corporate-mandated stinkers, and the surprising joy of discovering that people are, in fact, listening. A lot of people. Like… three-quarters of a million downloads a lot. Along the way, the hosts reflect on: Why giving feedback is harder than it sounds (and why Josh should maybe just be hired already). How unionization, passion, and not hating your job might magically lead to better RPG books. The growth of RPGBOT from "30 listeners we personally harassed" to a thriving, weirdly wholesome community. The success of Quick Start / How to Play episodes for systems that are not D&D (and the relief that people actually want those). The birth and future of Other Worlds, where the same characters keep falling through genre portals like some kind of dice-based Sliders reboot. Big plans for 2026, including Numenera, Pulp Cthulhu, Cyberpunk, Blades in the Dark, Dragonbane, Starfinder, and the eternal quest to finally do Star Wars without the universe collapsing. Charity streams, especially the Old Gods of Appalachia fundraiser for MD Anderson, and why that one hit especially close to home. A completely unnecessary but spirited debate about Stranger Things, narrative stakes, and which beloved characters absolutely should have died (allegedly). The episode ends exactly as you'd expect: Tyler's brain breaks when the outro script is violated, identities are swapped, BlueSky handles are mangled, someone accidentally says "sub-sex" instead of "success," and the podcast briefly achieves true chaos before stumbling lovingly into 2026. If you like tabletop RPGs when they're fun—and you like listening to three people who clearly enjoy making them fun—this episode is a warm, messy thank-you note to everyone who made 2025 possible.

Send us a textWelcome to Rational Black Thought. I'm your host, Neo Griot—secular humanist, skeptic, atheist, Afrocentric, Pan-African… and morally allergic to propaganda. This is a year-end audit episode. Not a highlight reel. Not a “best-of” montage. An audit. Because reflection is not nostalgia—it's strategy. It's how you stop repeating cycles that were designed to keep you tired, confused, and compliant. So today we're doing three things: We're going to look back at the major themes from the past year of Unmasking the News. We're going to forecast 2026—not with wishful thinking, but with pattern recognition.And for Bible Study with an Atheist, we're going to expose one of the slickest scams in modern religion: pseudo-science for God—and why “generic God” still doesn't get you to anybody's holy book. Intro: Quote of the Week: Octavia E. Butler Unmasking the News: Democracy Watch: Authoritarianism as a System, Not a Personality Religious Corruption: The Charity Gap and the Opacity Advantage Good News: Black Capacity Still WinsBible Study with an Atheist: Pseudo-Science for God — and Why “Generic God” Doesn't Get You to Religion: Reflections and Call to Action:Closing/Outro: Sources:https://commongood.cc/reader/a-few-rules-for-predicting-the-future-by-octavia-e-butler/?https://www.brennancenter.org/our-work/research-reports/trump-administrations-campaign-undermine-next-election?https://www.epi.org/publication/trumps-assault-on-independent-agencies-endangers-us-all/?https://faithcommunitiestoday.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/FACTs-on-Finance-Report_Trends-on-Congregational-Economics_Mar-2022.pdf?https://www.axios.com/local/indianapolis/2025/02/25/black-entrepreneurs-indianapolis-growth?Power Concedes Nothing without a Demand...

Hello Dear Wise Co Creators! I'm dropping in here as we cross the threshold of the completion of one linear calendar year and the start of the next with a ritual that never tires, and is like super food for our hearts, minds and spirits ... it's all about honoring and receiving from what you have already done, and using that energy to replenish yourself, so you can create from momentum as we rise up into a new year cycle vs. hit the ground running. I originally created this ritual episode in 2024, but I tuned in to it again today and I was like, must share this with all of you.! And invite you to take a walk with it, or journal with it, or just meditate, cook, sit whatever with it. This year more than ever, we need it. ENJOY! Here's a little about the power of Honor: The energy and act of "Honoring" is one of the most powerful things we have access to, but that we often under use. Honoring is a form a love. It melts away the heavy feels, the judgements of not enough, the pressure to do more. It turns struggle into comfort and possibility. We think of honor as something someone else has to give to us - when in reality we have the power to bestow honor upon ourselves, in a healthy way, with humility and dignity. I invoke the super power of honor & this ritual every year at this time because: I continue to see the power it has to open our hearts, lighten us up, fill us up and give us a way to start the next cycle radiant & clear, roooted in our enoughness. Doing this ritual at the year end start threshold really supports us to see and feel and VALUE the invisible things we've done PLUS see and acknowledge others in our lives for the invisible and important ways they show up. In this episode of Feminine Power Time - 258: The Year-End Honoring & Receiving Ritual - I'll walk you through this honoring ritual that I do every year for myself, 1:1 with others, with groups & teams, so you can really FEEL the honor, shining a light in these three areas: INVISIBLE INTERNAL GROWTH: the things you can't measure but have made a signficiant difference, especially all the internal shift and growth, and the things you do that can go unseen but matter alot INVISIBLE IMPACT ON PEOPLE & PLANET - how your presence and care has made a difference in real people's lives and the frequency of the planet INCREMENTAL PROGRESS - celebrating how projects, goals, dreams, reality shifts are more in form today May this ritual fill you up with radiance, good vibes and a deep sense of how your presence, care, devotion, and choices matter. With heart, Christine P.S. SHARE THIS EPISODE WITH A FRIEND + DO AN HONORING RITUAL TOGETHER. Share what you are Honoring in these different areas for this year. Use the words "I am proud that ...

In this New Year's Eve edition of The Daily Herold, Jon Herold closes out 2025 with a loose but pointed walkthrough of the day's developments, mixing commentary, headlines, and audience interaction. Jon opens with personal banter before digging into a relatively quiet news cycle that still delivers big implications, including national debt climbing to record levels, ongoing Minnesota fraud tied to daycare and food assistance programs, and growing public anger over taxes and government accountability. He reviews President Trump's recent Truth Social posts, vetoes, and statements on fraud, elections, and spending, while questioning contradictions between fiscal rhetoric and massive defense outlays. The show touches on Somali immigration issues, temporary protected status, ActBlue-style funding concerns, and renewed calls for a tax revolt. Jon also reflects on media narratives, psyops, and public frustration, wrapping the episode by previewing the Badlands Media New Year's Eve stream and looking ahead to what 2026 may bring.

Today we're sharing the tax loss selling secrets you need to know before 2026! We also talk understanding personal strengths and psychological limits in investing. It's good to avoid shiny-object strategies like day trading and prioritize risk management through diversification. We explore how market structure, valuations, and historical data suggest future returns may be lower and more volatile, making stress-testing portfolios and aligning risk with temperament essential. Remember long-term success comes from discipline, education, adaptability, and thoughtful strategy rather than chasing returns in overheated markets. We discuss... Successful goal-setting focuses on small, repeatable actions over time rather than unrealistic short-term outcomes. Investors must design strategies that align with their psychological makeup, risk tolerance, and time availability rather than copying what appears profitable for others. Stop-loss orders can be dangerous in volatile or less-liquid markets due to slippage and market maker behavior, often leading to worse-than-expected exits. Markets can remain expensive longer than expected, making flexibility and balanced positioning more important than precise market timing. Concentration in high-performing assets like AI stocks or precious metals can lead to severe losses if momentum reverses sharply. Historical examples showed that long periods of weak or flat equity returns are normal following valuation extremes. Diversification across asset classes, regions, and styles was highlighted as essential for retirement sustainability and long-term wealth preservation. Static portfolios such as traditional 60/40 allocations were questioned, with an emphasis on active monitoring and adjustment as conditions change. Precious metals typically move in sequence, with gold leading, followed by silver and then platinum, often ending in unsustainable parabolic moves. Misuse of statistics, such as confusing average with median net worth, can distort perceptions of wealth and financial reality. Investment performance should be evaluated using geometric averages rather than arithmetic means to reflect true compounded returns. Emotional states like greed and fear often peak near market extremes and should signal the need for reevaluation rather than increased risk-taking. Political, macroeconomic, and election-cycle dynamics can temporarily suppress or amplify commodity prices, particularly in energy markets. Long-term success in investing depends less on prediction and more on preparation, adaptability, and disciplined execution of a well-structured plan.

Chris Spangle is joined by Harry Price and Rhinehold for the final We Are Libertarians roundtable of 2025, recorded on the Saturday between Christmas and New Year's. They trade Festivus-style grievances, talk life and workload, and debate Indianapolis development, public transit, and downtown design, including “no turn on red” frustrations and light rail. The conversation moves into NPR and PBS funding cuts, NOAA and weather data, and why abrupt cuts can create gaps before private solutions adapt. They also dig into “too big to fail,” stadium subsidies, wealth inequality, immigration and tariffs, and worries about an AI hype cycle that could pop. Along the way: John Bolton's book as a Christmas gift, local versus federal power, and why history keeps repeating. 00:00 Intro & Holiday Banter 03:00 Year-End Reflections & Schedules 08:00 Jokes, Grievances & Festivus Vibes 13:00 Life Updates & Podcasting Behind the Scenes 20:00 Indianapolis Neighborhoods & Housing Market 28:00 City Development, Gentrification, and Sports Strategy 34:00 Public Projects, Taxpayer Money & Convention Economy 43:00 Transit, Traffic, and Urban Design Debates 52:00 Public Transportation & Challenges for the Poor 01:02:00 Funding Cuts, Private Solutions & PBS/NPR 01:10:00 Speculation, Tech Giants & Too Big to Fail 01:18:00 Renewable Energy, Land Use, & NIMBYism 01:24:00 American Preferences, Libertarian Values & Wealth Gaps 01:33:00 Final Thoughts, Historical Parallels & Farewell Learn more about your ad choices.

A good year in modeling doesn't happen by accident. It grows out of small bench wins, a few brave skill pushes, and the friends who show up at the right time. We wrap 2025 with a clear-eyed look at what worked, what changed, and how to carry that energy into 2026—plus a rich conversation with Australia's own Paul Gloster on moving his entire modeling life across states without losing momentum.We start with holiday check-ins, realistic bench talk, and the simple joy of a new tool that actually solves a problem. From there, we dig into the skills that moved the needle this year: sharper re-engraving, cleaner canopies, tighter scratchbuilding, and just enough 3D printing to expand what's possible. Then we head into travel and community. Four days at the IPMS National Convention changes your modeling in ways a two-day show can't—deeper seminars, patient conversations, and the kind of learning that sticks. It's where “model friends” become friends, and where you can see a kit built before it lands in your shop.Paul's segment is a masterclass in keeping mojo alive during a move. He shows how to triage a stash, protect finished builds with foam and tubs, and assemble a small, reachable “twelve-kit shortlist” that keeps you building while the new bench comes together. He catalogs tools by role, keeps a “desert-island” core set handy, and ensures references are within reach so progress doesn't stall. If you're searching for how to move built models, how to store unbuilt kits long-term, or how to set up a temporary modeling bench, you'll leave with a proven plan.We also riff on the kit news that made 2025 pop: Fine Molds' Zeros and F-104s, Tamiya's 1/72 F-14, Rye Field's JS-2, and Arma's incoming 1/72 Me 262. More than eye candy, these releases give modelers fresh canvases—better engineering, great markings, and subjects that reward both clean builds and heavy weathering.If you're plotting your own 2026, here's our take: set one or two honest goals, pick a some that stretch you, and build the bench you want to return to. The rest follows. Enjoy the episode, share it with a modeling friend, and help someone new find their groove.If you had a favorite kit reveal or a skill breakthrough in 2025, tell us about it.
