    What does leadership look like when everything feels uncertain? In this episode of Agency for Change, Lyn welcomes back Matt Poepsel, Vice President and Godfather of Talent Optimization at The Predictive Index, for a timely and deeply human conversation about leadership in what Matt calls today’s high-stakes, entropy-driven economy.

    What if some of the heaviest, most overlooked products in our supply chains could become a catalyst for meaningful change? In this episode of Agency for Change, host Lyn Wineman welcomes back Wayne McIntyre, CEO and Co-Founder of Relocalize, for a conversation about what’s changed since his last visit—and what’s ahead. Relocalize is revolutionizing how water-based products like packaged ice and cold packs are made by deploying autonomous microfactories directly at distribution centers, eliminating middle-mile trucking, reducing cold storage, and cutting carbon emissions by up to 90%. Wayne shares how his background in technology and his personal passion for sustainability came together to create Relocalize, why the company is preparing to deploy its first full-scale commercial unit later this year, and how expanding into the cold pack market opens the door for even greater impact. Along the way, he reflects on the realities of entrepreneurship, the importance of execution over ideas, and why building better, cheaper products is the fastest way to drive lasting change.

    What happens when a lack of belonging sparks a movement? In this episode of Agency for Change, Lyn Wineman sits down with Dr. Kimberly Clay, Founder and CEO of Play Like a Girl, to explore how confidence, community, and early opportunity can shape a girl’s future in STEM.

She explains why middle school is a critical window for engagement, how sports develop skills that translate far beyond the field, and why service is at the core of everything she does. From powerful data points to inspiring stories of impact, this conversation is a reminder that when we invest in girls early—and intentionally—we change what’s possible for generations to come.
