Now that they’re gone, what will happen to the life we built with them? How will we manage, and who will we become? Kim Hamer found herself asking these questions thirteen years ago, when her husband passed away from cancer. Left to grieve, Kim had to...
Systems have limits. You don't. with Michaell Magrutsche
September 20, 2022 11:30 - 1 hour - 115 MBSociety is made up of systems. We sanction governments, companies, and schools, so that we can operate in a shared space.

Many of our systems allow us to find purpose and contribute to the world. But there are a lot of people who don’t fit within a system. They can’t be at an office from 9 to 5. They don’t thri...
Ed Cronin on Taking the High Road to Police Reform
September 06, 2022 11:30 - 54 minutes - 99.7 MBAttitudes toward law enforcement vary in this country. Some communities generally trust their police. Others clearly need reform.

What We Get Wrong About Staffing and Recruiting
August 30, 2022 11:30 - 56 minutes - 103 MBChances are, you’re hiring. And it’s not hard to find candidates. LinkedIn is a worldwide network of professionals, many of whom are #opentowork.

Kids want to understand why things are the way that they are, and they want to contribute in meaningful ways to the world around them. But society hasn’t set up a system that celebrates curiosity.

Many children are coddled out of developing their own resilience and problem-solving skills – which are the skills that they’ll need to become independent adults. But children want to c...

In this episode, we hear from Erin Lebacqz, the founder of High Value Writing, where she helps workplace writers achieve their professional and perso...
What's the Value of a College Education?
July 19, 2022 11:30 - 38 minutes - 71.3 MBIn the US, the college search is its own era in young adulthood. High schoolers and their parents travel the country in search of the right fit. Students are encouraged to find a campus that gives them “that feeling” – that affirming jitter that says, “this is where you belong.” And for many of us, helping a child navigate the college process is its own emotional, mental, and financial obstacle. While every college website features plenty of photos, testimonials, a list of majors, and a menu...

Author, speaker, and adviser Charles Vogl argues that there are evidence-based practices for creating community. And he...

Limor Bergman on Coaching Confidence & Curiosity for Women in Tech
June 14, 2022 11:30 - 52 minutes - 96.4 MBSome people are completely comfortable at work. They know what they bring to the table, and they’re comfortable asking questions and challenging the status quo. But many also feel out of place, and they pick up on small actions that only make them feel less comfortable speaking up. Limor Bergman, a software engineer, noticed that women in her male-dominated field often struggled to feel included and to speak up at work. So she took her 20 years of experience in the industry and started coach...
Choose Your Abilities, Not Your Excuses
April 26, 2022 11:30 - 44 minutes - 81.5 MBWhat is ability? We all have distinct abilities, challenges, and gifts. And focusing on what you can do is far more important than focusing on what you can’t do. John Cronin was in his last year in high school, and he needed to figure out what to do next. He thought about what he loved and what he was good at. He landed on socks. Crazy socks. With the help of his dad, Mark, John started to design and sell socks online.

Tamara Zoner on Choosing Happier Habits
April 19, 2022 11:30 - 45 minutes - 83 MBSo many people just want to be happy; there’s so much talk about finding happiness, you’d think it was a scarce resource.

Tamara Zoner believes that happiness is a choice. There are more circumstances in your control than you think, and evaluating your own behavior is essential to making the small, habitual changes that will compound to a...
Givers, Takers, and The Practice of Discernment
April 12, 2022 11:30 - 59 minutes - 109 MBWe all know takers. They’re the people who show up when it’s convenient and contribute only when they gain something in return. But even so, there are just as many people eager to give more than they receive. EA Csolkovits started out as a janitor in the home of June Martino–she’s the lady that believed in Ray Kroc’s McDonald’s before it was McDonald’s. After realizing how approachable she was, he asked her how she found success–and was even more surprised at how much she was willing to shar...
Seeing Clear Again - Rick Young at Boston Vision
March 29, 2022 23:30 - 40 minutes - 74.1 MBAll day, you’re looking at things.

Jerry Fu on Establishing and Managing Expectations
March 15, 2022 11:30 - 46 minutes - 85.1 MBOn this podcast, we talk a lot about the consequences of inaction. What’s worse–saying something and rocking the boat, or suffering in silence? Growing up, Jerry Fu learned to be silent and avoid conflict. But as he grew older, he learned that yielding to others’ expectations can be toxic, for both himself and the person on the other end. In his career as a pharmacist, he learned a similar lesson when dealing with customers. Sometimes, you have to offer concessions and always, you have to le...

What's sexy about marketing?
January 18, 2022 12:30 - 49 minutes - 89.8 MBMarketing isn’t known for being sexy. Finding customers can feel like chasing, and many companies scare people away when they only talk about themselves.

It comes down to pinpointing our ideal customers, listening to them, and helping them become their best. And although it isn’t sexy, we sometimes have to delay...

What Am I Not Saying?
October 12, 2021 11:30 - 22 minutes - 40.4 MBGhosting is easy. Ignoring a phone call, not responding to an email, or quitting a company without warning are all ways that we can avoid confrontation. But the right to remain silent—the right to not express frustration, provide a dissenting opinion, or admit to wrongdoing, in the workplace or outside of it—is making us cower and hide when things get hard. It’s easy to not come forward. So how do companies and organizations make it safe to express your mistakes or voice your frustrations? ...
