A report released last month showed a troubling decline in student test scores dating back to 2015, with performance falling most notably in children's reading ability. Researchers say that kids and adults who have trouble reading have traditionally relied on family members for help but are now turning to artificial intelligence. We spoke with Fran Rabinowitz, Executive Director at the Connecticut Association of Public School Superintendents, about the findings and what we can do to combat the problem.

We have more access to inspiration than ever before.Thousands of beautiful homes. Endless Pinterest boards.

Adam Crowley and Dorin Dickerson discuss whether or not recording portions of sporting events at the stadium or arena on a phone takes away from the experience of actually being there.

In this week's Wednesday Wisdom, I discuss the art of getting better at golf and why improvement starts with understanding where your game really sits. I break down how many greens in regulation golfers of different handicap levels typically hit, and why having realistic benchmarks can help you focus your practice on the areas that matter most. I also dive into the importance of slowing down your breathing on the golf course and how controlling your breathing can help settle your nerves, improve decision-making, and ultimately lead to better golf shots. Finally, I discuss one of the most valuable skills in golf: the ability to take a mental reset between shots. Bad holes and poor shots happen to everyone, but the players who avoid the downhill spiral are often the ones who can reset, refocus, and move forward without carrying frustration to the next shot. If you're serious about improving your golf, this episode will give you practical strategies you can start using immediately.Training Aids & Discount CodesBack 2 Basics Putting – Use the code YGP10 for 10% off or Click Here for 10% offDivot Board –Use the code YGP for 10% off or Click here for 10% off Strike Wedge – Click Here for 15% off Ryp Golf Speed Training – use the code YGP at check out for 10% off! Your Golf Performance Academy - Use code PODCAST at check out for 30% off any subscription.Aim Point Classes Sign Up HereWin a $350 True Protein Gift Pack - Sign Up HereSign up for the free course/library of 22 drills to help you get better at golf hereWe thank Titleist - The number 1 brand in golf for their continued support of the YGP Podcast!

The origin of the universe is not merely a question of science—but a matter of faith. Is everything the result of random evolution, or the product of a sovereign creator? Pastor Mike Fabarez compares both creationism and evolution to see which belief has the best evidence.

Are the Meindl Glockner GTX boots the perfect choice for alpine hunters — or just too much boot for most terrain? After 100+ days in the field, I put these boots through their paces across goat hunts, creek crossings, and even a glacier with fully automatic crampons. This is a real-world, no-BS review for serious hunters who want gear that performs when it matters.

It’s safe to say that no one listening witnessed the beginning of the universe. So all discussions about our origins are really conversations about faith! Pastor Mike Fabarez explains there’s ample reason to Boldly Trust in God’s Ability to Create.

Welcome to episode #1039 of Thinking With Mitch Joel (formerly Six Pixels of Separation). I believe that communication has always been one of the most valuable skills in business. But in an era of AI-generated content, algorithmic feeds, podcasts, newsletters, keynote stages, short-form video and endless digital noise, it may be becoming even more important. Few people have spent more time studying what makes ideas resonate than Carmine Gallo. A communication coach, author, and instructor in executive education at Harvard, Carmine is best known for bestselling books including Talk Like TED, The Storyteller's Secret, The Presentation Secrets of Steve Jobs and many more. His latest project, Viral Voices - From TED Talks To TikTok, Persuasive Communication Skills For The Digital Age, is an audio-original experience that explores what great communicators can teach us about influence, storytelling, and audience engagement in a rapidly changing media landscape. In this conversation, Carmine argues that while the tools of communication have evolved dramatically, the human brain has not. Drawing on research from neuroscience, psychology, evolutionary biology, and his conversations with communicators ranging from business leaders to digital creators, he explains why storytelling remains one of humanity's most powerful technologies. The discussion explores why movement captures attention, why narrative structures continue to dominate modern platforms, and why great communicators are made through deliberate practice rather than born with natural talent. Carmine also shares his AMP framework for communication improvement: Ability, Message, and Practice. Along the way, the conversation examines the opportunities and challenges created by AI, including the growing tension between polished machine-generated content and authentic human expression. At a moment when everyone has access to powerful communication tools, Carmine makes a compelling case that imagination, personal experience, and genuine human insight are becoming the ultimate differentiators.

John joins Elliot to talk about how the experience, aged 12, of caring for his father when he was diagnosed with early-onset dementia, led him to transform the way we think about dementia care - not as something clinical and routine, but human, joyful, and deeply creative.

Ever wonder what meditation can do for your memory? IN this podcast, Bhante Sathi discusses memory and its relationship with the mind and the brain. Using several everyday examples, he illustrates how meditation can improve your brain's neuroplasticity. Furthermore, he also discusses how memories can fade once deprived of attention and response. This can enable anybody to control how much power memories have over them by emphasizing personal empowerment and the ability to shape our own actions and character.

A packed episode of The Rickey Smiley Morning Show Podcast dives into major headlines shaping culture and conversation, starting with a significant political move as the House passes a resolution aimed at limiting President Trump’s military authority in Iran—a bipartisan rebuke that reflects growing concern over the ongoing conflict, even though the measure may not immediately change policy. The conversation continues with a deeply discussed Texas murder trial involving a Black teen accused of fatally stabbing another student, where controversy grows after a jury is seated with no Black jurors despite the racially charged nature of the case and arguments from the defense about fairness. Back in the entertainment world, Michelle Obama keeps it real about her love for reality TV but makes it clear she’d never join Real Housewives, joking she’d only show up for the reunion—and only to ask questions—because the drama isn’t for her. Meanwhile, Halle Berry shows public support for Gayle King after her viral revelation about discovering her husband’s infidelity, calling the act of sharing those experiences “therapeutic” and highlighting how common and lasting that kind of pain can be. The crew balances these heavy topics with their signature humor and candid commentary, touching on viral moments, personal regrets, celebrity updates, and trending stories—from wild listener call-ins to heartfelt discussions about relationships, business decisions, and life lessons—delivering a show that blends news, culture, and comedy in a way that keeps listeners engaged from start to finish.

Kirby Battle Royale is a game often considered one of the worst Kirby games, and it was no doubt disappointing that the game wasn't larger in scope or equipped with better online features (especially for a game all about multiplayer battles). But behind the game's flaws is a clever minigame collection with surprisingly good 3D Kirby combat, a lot of unlockables, and creative experiments that still make the game stand out today. It was the first Kirby game to offer native support for online multiplayer, it offered post-launch DLC, and it gave players the rare opportunity to vote on new abilities to add to the game (introducing the only appearance of Sleep as a combat ability). While it might have fallen short of its potential, it's not short on fun gameplay, so for this episode, Sean, Gigi, and Bridget are giving Royale the royal treatment to show how you can acknowledge the game's flaws while still finding a lot to enjoy in it.Questions or comments about the show?

For families raising a child or caring for a family member with different abilities in Hong Kong, the law can feel like a maze — full of critical protections and planning tools that are rarely explained in plain terms. Too often, parents, guardians and carers discover their rights only when a crisis has already arrived. That is precisely the gap that The Ability Bridges was designed to help close. Launched in late 2025 as a six-month pro bono initiative, The Ability Bridges is a collaborative campaign dedicated to bringing accessible, practical legal knowledge to individuals with disabilities and their families across Hong Kong. The campaign is run in partnership with three community organisations at the heart of the special needs sector — the Love21 Foundation, The Nesbitt Centre, and Sensational Foundation — and reflects the firm's deep commitment to ensuring that access to justice is a right, not a privilege. The campaign has already made a tangible difference. In March 2026, Hugill & Ip hosted an intimate evening at its offices, gathering families, carers, and NGO workers for a focused session on estate planning for families with special needs. Led by Alfred Ip, the discussion tackled the questions that keep parents and carers awake at night — from structuring discretionary trusts to understanding guardianship. Today, the campaign has taken a broader step with a free, community-facing seminar at Café 8 in Hong Kong. Three of the firm's leading practitioners — Adam Hugill, Raphael Wong, and Polly Chu — addressed a distinct area of law that directly affects families living with disability: anti-discrimination protections, divorce and child arrangements, and long-term housing and estate planning.

The influence of comparison, imposter syndrome, and anxiety on your leadership strength. Comparison and imposter syndrome negatively impact the ability to lead. They steal confidence and stem from an anxiety response loop. The combination of comparison and anxiety, and imposter syndrome and anxiety, quite often go hand-in-hand. One of the key responses to comparison and imposter syndrome is to be diligent in pursuing what God is calling you to (motherhood, career, business ownership), while detaching from what others think of you or are doing. In other words, keep your eyes fixed on Jesus. An example of how social media activates an anxiety response loop. Anxiety, Comparison, and Imposter Syndrome: Understanding the Vicious Cycle Anxiety does not simply coexist with comparison and imposter syndrome. Rather, it drives them. When your nervous system is dysregulated, it scans constantly for evidence of threat. In the context of leadership, that threat often takes the form of questions: " Am I enough or am I good enough?" How the Anxiety, Comparison, and Imposter Syndrome Cycle Works Step 1: Anxiety Activates the Nervous System Step 2: Comparison Enters Through Social Media and the Environment Step 3: Imposter Syndrome Amplifies the Fear Step 4: Anxiety Increases, Behavior Becomes Avoidant Step 5: Social Media Accelerates the Entire Loop What Comparison and Imposter Syndrome Look Like in Christian Women Leaders These behaviors disguise themselves as humility or self-awareness. Consequently, they are among the hardest patterns to recognize. Do any of these feel familiar? You: Minimize your achievements because someone else has accomplished more. Hesitate to share your expertise publicly because you fear being found out. Overprepare obsessively because you feel less qualified than others think you are. Scroll social media and feel deflated, even when your own life is genuinely good. Delay the next step in your calling until you feel more ready. Attribute your successes to luck and your failures to personal inadequacy. Replay conversations at night, analyzing every way you may have fallen short. Avoid feedback or new opportunities because failure feels unbearable. Your Identity in Christ: The Only Truth That Breaks the Cycle Here is what this cycle is working overtime to prevent you from believing: you were not made to measure yourself against anyone else. Biblical Truths These are not affirmations. They are facts. How Christian Women Leaders Can Break the Comparison and Imposter Syndrome Cycle Breaking this cycle requires addressing both the nervous system driving it and the identity lies fueling it. Here is where to begin: 1. Name the Cycle When It Starts 2. Regulate Before You Scroll 3. Audit Your Feed Ruthlessly 4. Replace the Lie with a Specific Truth 5. Renew Your Mind Before the World Gets to It 6. Test Your Own Work, Not Hers What Breaking the Cycle Looks Like in the Calm, Confident, Consistent Loop REFLECTION QUESTIONS Where does the comparison and imposter syndrome cycle most often start for you — social media, a specific relationship, or a particular environment? Which imposter lie shows up most frequently? What specific Scripture truth directly counters it? What would it feel like to measure your progress only against God's purposes for your life this week — and no one else's? Read the full show notes and access all links.

What's your master desire? The driving force that forces all other drives to fall in line? From May 31, 2026

What This Episode Is About You've invested in a sales strategy. You've done the training. So why aren't you getting the results you expected? In this episode of the Selling to Corporate® podcast, Jess Lorimer reveals the single most important skill that professional salespeople use to create consistent, replicable results - and it's almost certainly not what you'd expect. Jess makes the case that the gap between coaches, consultants and professional salespeople isn't intelligence, experience or even strategy. It's one surprisingly simple skill that most business owners overlook, underestimate or quietly choose to ignore. This episode explains exactly what it is, why it matters more than any tactic or technique and what happens to your sales process when you don't use it. Who This Episode Is For Coaches, consultants, trainers, speakers, and done-for-you service providers selling to corporate clients Anyone who has invested in a sales strategy or programme and felt it 'didn't work' Business owners who find themselves constantly tweaking, adjusting, or second-guessing their sales process Those who are great at selling one offer or to one type of client, but struggle to replicate that success elsewhere Anyone who suspects their sales process isn't producing consistent results but isn't sure why Questions This Episode Answers What is the most important skill in B2B sales? Why does a sales strategy that worked stop working over time? How do professional salespeople create replicable results across different industries and offers? What's the difference between buying a sales strategy and actually executing one? Why does tweaking a sales process - even slightly - make results impossible to measure or replicate? Key Takeaways  1. The Most Important Sales Skill Is Following Instructions The single most important skill professional salespeople possess is the ability to follow instructions precisely and consistently. Not prospecting. Not objection handling. Not closing. Following instructions. Jess is direct: in her experience working with thousands of professional salespeople and thousands of coaches, consultants, speakers, trainers, and done-for-you service providers, the difference in results almost always comes down to this. Professional salespeople follow a proven process exactly as written. Most coaches and consultants - however intelligent and however well-intentioned - don't. This isn't a criticism of intelligence. In fact, Jess argues that high intelligence can be a liability here. Smart people are more likely to spot what feels 'wrong' about a set of instructions, more likely to rationalise a small adjustment and more likely to believe their version of the process is 'good enough'. It usually isn't. 2. Any Proven Strategy Has the Ability to Work - If It's Executed Properly Jess teaches seven different methods of B2B lead generation. She has clients who generate all of their corporate revenue from cold email outreach. She has clients who generate all of their revenue from networking alone - a method she personally dislikes. The method is not the determining factor. Execution is. The two reasons a sales strategy fails are almost always the same: The strategy being used is not proven. It was built in an AI tool, borrowed from a B2C context or sold by someone without hands-on B2B sales experience. The strategy is proven but it is not being followed correctly. Steps are skipped, wording is changed, volume is reduced or the process is quietly adjusted whenever something feels uncomfortable. If your sales process is not producing results, the first question to ask is not 'what strategy should I try next?' It is 'am I executing my current proven strategy exactly as intended?'   3. Small Changes to a Sales Process Create Big Problems One of the most common patterns Jess sees with experienced clients is a gradual drift away from the original process. It rarely starts as a conscious decision to change strategy. More often it starts with a lost deal, a knock to confidence, and a small adjustment made under pressure to 'save' the next opportunity. That one small change leads to another. The language shifts. The attachment changes. The objection handling softens. The reassurance given increases. None of it feels significant in the moment. But cumulatively, the process becomes unrecognisable - and critically, it becomes impossible to measure, troubleshoot or improve. Standardisation is not a constraint on creativity. It is what makes it possible to know whether your sales process is working, identify where it is breaking down, and fix the right thing. When every part of the process is slightly different, there is nothing consistent to evaluate. 4. Sales Should Be Boring - Creativity Comes in the Conversation Jess uses the analogy of Picasso: before he painted eyes on the sides of heads, he spent years learning the rules of perspective, line and composition. The creative leaps came after the foundations were mastered, not instead of them. The same principle applies to B2B sales. Your lead generation process, your outreach approach, your proposal structure, your pricing framework - these should be repeatable, measurable and consistent. They should feel a little boring, because boring is what makes them scalable. The creativity, the consultative problem-solving, the bespoke solution-building - all of that happens in the sales conversation itself, and in the delivery of the work. That's where you get to be brilliant and distinctive. Your process is what gets you to that conversation in the first place. 5. Following Instructions Builds the Confidence That Creativity Cannot When a sales process is followed precisely, it produces predictable metrics. Those metrics tell you what is working and what is not - early enough to make useful adjustments rather than emergency ones. That predictability is what gives professional salespeople confidence, even in difficult markets. When a process is modified and the results decline, the person executing it has no way of knowing which change caused the problem. That uncertainty erodes confidence and often leads to further changes, making the situation worse. Following instructions is therefore not just a technical requirement - it is the foundation of sustained confidence in your own sales ability. 6. Replicatable Success Requires Transferable Process, Not Transferable Luck Jess draws on her own sales career across jewellery, recruitment, tech, and sales training - including becoming the top diamond salesperson in her region at 16, and a top performer within her first year at a company operating across 30 countries - to make a specific point: success that can be replicated across industries, offers, and client types is built on process, not personality. If you are excellent at selling one particular offer but cannot replicate that success with other offers or other types of decision maker, it is a signal that your results are not yet built on a transferable process. They are built on familiarity, repetition or relationship - which are not scalable. A proven, correctly executed process is what creates results that transfer. Key Quotes "The most important skill professional salespeople have in their arsenal is following instructions." "Literally any proven strategy has the ability to work if it's being done properly. The problem is that most people aren't using proven strategies - or they're not following the instructions for the ones they have." "Your sales process shouldn't be where you feel creatively satiated. It should be where you are able to replicate a clear process and be given consistent metrics so you know what is working and what isn't."

Elbridge Colby explains that a denial defense focuses on preventing China from successfully executing a fait accompli by denying their ability to seize and hold key territory. The primary goal is to degrade or destroy the invasion force while it is most vulnerable—during transit across the Taiwan Strait or while preparing on the mainland. Unlike the total dominance the U.S. enjoyed in the 20th century, Colby argues that denial is a more attainable standard given China'smassive economic and military strength. Success is measured by keeping the target state "on side" rather than achieving a total defeat. (5/8)NOV 1931
