  Episode 251 - Innovation in Resilience with Paula Fontana

  Sep 14, 202631 min

  When we first started talking with this week's guest, Mark asked her a simple question: what did she want to discuss? Her answer came without hesitation and consisted of just a single word. Innovation. Hello everyone and welcome to episode 251 of the Resilient Journey Podcast, presented by Anesis Consulting Group! This week we are joined by Paula Fontana, Chief Marketing Officer at Iluminr. When we think about innovation, we immediately think "AI", but Paula explains the proper use of AI is to move things forward, not to fix things that aren't really wrong. She adds that the real differentiator in the proper use of AI is the human expertise of the person using it. Paula adds how important it is for us in resilience to be marketers and influencers and to leverage the language of the business to communicate more effectively. And she and Mark talk about what resilience needs to include as we look ahead to 2030. Be sure to follow The Resilient Journey! We sure do appreciate it! Check out the Resilient Journey Hub!

  Episode 249 - A Hit Song, Leadership and Resilience ~ Eric Flick

  Aug 31, 202631 min

  If you're like us, you love the stories behind hit songs. Our guest this week has taken the back-story behind an iconic hit of the 1970s and turned it into a lesson on leadership, pressure and resilience. Hello everyone and welcome to episode 249 of the Resilient Journey Podcast, presented by Anesis Consulting Group! This week we are joined by Eric Flick who talks about his recent article describing the struggles of songwriter Robert Lamm as he wrote Chicago's hit song 25 or 6 to 4. Eric says that we can also struggle to come up with "the next big thing", particularly after a successful project. But he suggests that maybe we don't have to 'go big'. He says that sometimes, things that seem ordinary in the moment can actually become transformational later. In other words, don't chase the next big hit. Just do your job and trust the next step. Be sure to follow The Resilient Journey! We sure do appreciate it! Check out the Resilient Journey Hub! Want to learn more about Mark? Click here or on LinkedIn .
