Fit Volatility: Pumping Iron Edition

Image
How do trends related to muscle building and loss contribute to Fit Volatility? I’ll give you three instances. 1 – Men Want Stronger Butts. A fresh WSJ article discusses where guys are now focusing their strength training efforts. The trend isn’t barrel chests and peaks on the biceps. Rather, it’s large quads and stronger glutes. As someone who has spent the better part of 25+ years inside the four walls of a gym, I could tell you the benefits of never skipping your squats, leg presses and deadlifts. Glute activation is a mandatory pre-requisite to generate power for these compound lifts. But now male business elites perceive strong legs and an upper back as a sign of longevity and health. Male actors see a chiseled rear end as a necessary line item on the acting resume. 2 – More Women Leaders Lift Weights Women’s health is re-writing its narrative after decades of operating under the assumption that women are just smaller versions of men. Resistance training for women is powerfully be...

An Inside Look at the House of Lords

Image
Some invitations are too fascinating to keep to yourself. Recently, I enjoyed the rare privilege of a private tour of the House of Lords with Richard Oliver Faulkner, Baron Faulkner of Worcester . Experiences like this remind me how fortunate we are to meet fascinating people who help us better understand the institutions that shape our world. Lord Faulkner is a long-serving Labour life peer , known for his work in campaigning, communications, and transport policy. Born in Manchester, he studied philosophy, politics, and economics at Worcester College, Oxford , a background that clearly prepared him for a lifetime engaged in public affairs. His early career combined politics and communications. He worked as a researcher and journalist for the Labour Party, served as a councillor in the London Borough of Merton, and stood as a Labour parliamentary candidate several times before entering the House of Lords. From 1977 to 1997, he was also a communications adviser to the British Railways ...

A teenager sits in the principal’s office for the third time in two weeks. The vice principal is writing up a suspension. The student is looking at the floor. There is no conversation about what happened, what he needs, or how to repair what broke. There is only the machinery of removal. A form gets signed. A parent gets called. The student goes home. Nothing changes except the distance between the school and the young person it wa...

Future Proof Your Skills in the Age of AI

Image
Artificial intelligence is changing how work gets done. Tasks that once required years of training can now be automated or assisted by software. Entire industries are evolving faster than many people expected. For many professionals, the question is no longer whether technology will change their job. The real question is how to stay relevant as those changes unfold. A recent article explores how forward thinking organizations and innovators are encouraging people to develop adaptable skills rather than relying solely on traditional credentials or job titles. The message is clear. The future workforce will reward people who can learn continuously, solve problems creatively, and adapt as technology evolves. In other words, the most valuable career strategy may be future proofing your skills. Why Adaptability Is the New Career Advantage For much of the twentieth century, careers followed a relatively predictable pattern. People learned a profession, built expertise in a specific field, a...
