  • Take the Leap (S3. Ep. 11)

Join us with our guest Troy and talk about all things related to baseball, bulls, and nuclear power.

  • Tacking Talent, Digitally (S3/Ep10)

    What if the key to a more human workplace… was data? In this episode of The MindBurrow, we sit down with Army People Analytics leader and author Kris Saling to explore how metrics can support—not smother—creativity, autonomy, and belonging. From leading change in high-stakes environments to building ethical, inclusive systems, this conversation dives deep into the future of leadership, culture, and what it means to thrive at work.

  • Virtual Assistance (S.3 Ep.9)

    In this episode of The MindBurrow, we explore a future that feels strangely like the present—where your therapist might be an app, your diagnosis starts with a chatbot, and your daily crises get filtered through virtual assistants. From mental health support to patient self-diagnosis to life navigation, we ask: Are we becoming too comfortable outsourcing our human struggles to machines? Are we comfortable with using our virtual assistants? Where do we draw the line of trust vs. professional. Join the fourpack and guest, Physician Assistant “Squatter” as we dig into how technology is reshaping care, coping, and connection—and what we lose when help is just one tap away.

  • S3. Ep 8 - Mob Frogs and the People First Crime and Punishment

    What do a smuggled frog, a mob boss in a diner, and a guilt-ridden killer from 19th-century Russia have in common? In this episode, three of the FourPack—Jules, Dane, and Jase—dig into today's top headlines, the cryptic brilliance of The Sopranos finale, and the moral wreckage of Crime and Punishment. Along the way, they ask: what does it really mean for an organization to be "people first"? And who gets to write the ending? Tune in for truth, tension, and a few uncomfortable questions.

Special guest Dr. Amie Bostic unpacks the gap between perceived help and actual help, the unintended consequences of social spending, and what really makes a system successful.

  • Weathering the Storm: Understanding Adversity, Resilience, and Resiliency (S. 3, Ep. 4)

    Life throws challenges our way—but how we respond defines who we become. In this episode of The MindBurrow, we explore the three pillars of overcoming hardship: adversity (the challenge), resilience (the response), and resiliency (the long-term capacity to endure and adapt).

    Joined by our four pack, Rooster, and Hank, we dive into:
    🔹 How ancient philosophy and different cultures view adversity
    🔹 The difference between resilience and resiliency—and why it matters
    🔹 How organizations differ in how they handle adversity
    🔹 Real-life lessons on bouncing back from tough times

    Inspired by On Living by Nâzım Hikmet, this episode will leave you thinking about what it truly means to live through struggle and come out stronger.

  • Sucky Supervisors: When is a boss a leader - and call your mom (S.3 Ep 3)

    This episode of the MindBurrow talks about toxic leadership and what to do when you think it is time to leave that job. We discuss what it is to recognize you’re facing a work environment that may not be working for you and talk about when a leader leads versus a boss who is trying to simply manage getting to task completion. Does your boss or leader share a leadership philosophy like Taylor Swift? Do your employees (or you) have the empowerment of understanding the role they play in the organizational mission?
