When an AI agent makes a decision that costs your company millions in a lawsuit, who do you fire? Agility requires both the speed to adopt new technologies like AI agents, as well as the foresight to build the guardrails that prevent that speed from driving your brand off a cliff. Today, we're going to talk about the hidden crisis brewing behind the AI revolution: the accountability gap. As companies race to replace roles with autonomous AI agents, a critical question is being ignored: when an agent makes a biased, unethical, or simply wrong decision that harms a customer or an employee, who is actually responsible? This isn't a future problem; it's happening right now, and it poses a massive threat to brand trust, customer relationships, and legal standing. To help me discuss this topic, I'd like to welcome, Albert Castellana, Co-Founder & CEO at GenLayer.

Part 2 of 2. OA 1230 - Seeing all the obstacles to holding government officials accountable, Congress created Section 1983, allowing citizens to sue for money damages for violations of their civil rights. We cover how that works, the one weird trick it uses to get around state sovereign immunity, and how that accidentally created the infamous qualified immunity doctrine that has made police seemingly unaccountable. We also discuss proposed reforms that might fix issues of qualified and sovereign immunity. 42 U.S.C § 1983 Pierson v Ray, 386 U.S. 547 (1967) Graham v Conner, 490 U.S. 386 (1989) Pearson v Callahan, 555 U.S. 223 (2009) Kisela v Hughes, 584 U.S. 100 (2018) Barnes v Felix, 605 U.S. 73 (2025) Barnes v Felix, 138 Harvard L.

Let's unpack a truth most people don't want to admit: the thing you're avoiding is action. When you leave inaction untouched, it does not sit quietly. It grows. It drains you. And it quietly reshapes your life through mental drag, stress, and procrastination. Unaddressed conversations don't sit still. Ignored decisions don't pause. Delayed action doesn't disappear. It compounds. It leaks energy, creates anxiety, and slowly trains your nervous system to stay stuck. In this episode, Troy introduces the Bison Theory, a counterintuitive truth rooted in real behavior: while most animals run away from storms and stay trapped in them longer, bison run straight into the storm, shortening how long they suffer. This episode isn't about hype or grit for grit's sake. It's about why facing the thing you're avoiding is the fastest path to transformation, and how movement, not certainty, is what breaks the loop. If you've felt the weight of indecision, the drag of unfinished business, or the mental exhaustion of too many open loops, this conversation will feel uncomfortably familiar in the best way.This Episode Covers:Why avoidance is active, not neutral, and how it quietly compounds stressHow “direction determines duration” when it comes to pain and changeWhy facing the storm creates momentum even before clarity shows upHow anticipation of pain often hurts longer than the pain itselfThe real reason action restores energy faster than motivation ever willHow to stop negotiating with reality and start reclaiming agencyWhy transformation begins the moment you turn toward what you've been running fromBeyond The Episode Gems:Subscribe To My New Weekly LinkedIn Newsletter: Strategize.

Joining us this week is the editor-in-chief himself, Chief David Rhodes!  The number 339 holds deep significance for Rhodes, and we unpack what it means to him. We dive into the nuts-and-bolts… and where this philosophy comes from as well as how he uses it to guide his personal decision making.  No discussion with Chief Rhodes would be complete without checking in on the big show and what all he has planned for FDIC this year, and of course all of this was wonderfully interrupted by the live audience and their awesome questions. 

Rep. Seth Moulton talks with Jen Psaki about why so many Democrats (and even some Republicans) want Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem to resign or be impeached after agencies under her purview have not only terrorized whole communities but left two Americans dead.Senator Alex Padilla, who visited California's largest immigration prison and was shocked at what he heard from detainees, talks with Jen Psaki about how the abuses of ICE don't stop with the terrorizing tactics used to hunt and detail immigrants in the U.S., but extend to what Donald Trump is doing with the tens of thousands of people he is holding at facilities across the country.Jeh Johnson, former secretary of Homeland Security, talks with Jen Psaki about how irregular it is that the DHS would investigate itself for the deadly shootings of protesters in Minneapolis, and how the pre-judging by Kristi Noem and other DHS officials make an impartial investigation extremely unlikely.

Most real estate teams don't fail because of lead flow. They fail because of onboarding, retention, and leadership gaps. In this episode of the Agent Rise Podcast, I'm joined by Marissa Canario, who spent nearly seven years helping build one of the largest expansion team networks inside Keller Williams.

In this episode of Acta Non Verba, host Marcus Aurelius Anderson examines one of philosophy's most provocative questions: Was Seneca a hypocrite? Through the lens of Stoic philosophy and Roman history, Marcus explores the dangerous cognitive trap of hypocrisy bias and challenges listeners to examine their own inconsistencies before judging others. Episode Highlights [0:45] The Seneca Question: Was the wealthy Roman philosopher who forced loans on conquered peoples truly living by Stoic principles, or was he a hypocrite? [2:10] Understanding Hypocrisy Bias: How our tendency to judge others' inconsistencies more harshly than our own blinds us to truth and derails meaningful discussions. [6:16] The Marcus Aurelius Paradox: Even the revered philosopher-emperor struggled with anger daily and made questionable decisions like allowing his son Commodus to take power. [7:38] 30-Day Reflection Challenge: Three critical questions to examine your own hypocrisy, how you judge others, and whether imperfect messengers can still deliver truth.

Some will get with the program, and some will be crushed in the process. The predictable pattern they are currently running looks extremely insane. They knew people would follow the stars, so now it's an operation. Fake representation of the public while initiating chaos. The loudest denials are not from the most guilty. Organized operations were started early on. Distractions make things look foggy. Precision matters in real work. The FBI has it all. Where there is no evidence, there is no crime. Proximity to power is not insight. Alleged allies are funding subversion. Real briefings are happening elsewhere. The largest groups presents themselves as allies because it's profitable. Dismissal does not stop serious investigations. Pattern recognition shows danger. It's not Soros behind all this. Selective exposure is another of their tactics. Congress members are in the signal calls. We should run Paxton like a race horse. Let's cut some thunder and do the work. Harvard is funded by the ChiComs. ICE once protected the vulnerable. The NRO is more important. Influencers poison the truth well. It's hard, but we have to carefully listen to their plans and decipher the mindset. Then let's all pray for victory, and humanity.

As tensions continue in Minneapolis between federal agents and locals, what does the law say about how ICE or CBP are allowed to act?On Today's Show:Michelle Hackman, Wall Street Journal reporter covering U.S. immigration policy, talks about the legality of the tactics ICE agents are using in Minneapolis and elsewhere, including entering people's homes without warrants, and the ways they are dealing with bystanders in the wake of the two recent fatal shootings in Minnesota.

Most leaders hide behind surprise when disaster strikes. Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara did the opposite.In a January 2025 interview with The New York Times' Michael Barbaro, O'Hara said the killing of Renee Good by an ICE agent was "predictable and entirely preventable"—and that he'd said so publicly the day before it happened. Days after I recorded this episode, federal agents killed Alex Pretti, a VA nurse, in another operation that has drawn national outcry.This episode isn't about policing. It's about what leadership looks like when:The crisis you predicted happens anywayYour people are exhausted and under-resourcedYou're caught between powerful institutions and community griefOne bad moment could erase years of progressO'Hara doesn't perform. He doesn't spin. He names fear, admits fragility, and refuses to let federal agencies off the hook for dangerous tactics—even when it would be easier to stay quiet.If you lead anything—a team, a company, a movement—this interview will show you what accountability sounds like when the performance stops and the real work begins.LISTEN TO THE FULL INTERVIEW: The Daily, January 13, 2025: "Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara" with Michael BarbaroKEY MOMENTS:Why saying "this was predictable" is the hardest—and most important—leadership moveThe F-bomb that built trust instead of breaking itHow O'Hara critiques ICE without collapsing into blameWhat it means to hold both empathy and accountability at the same timeWhy "turn the heat down" isn't neutrality—it's survivalTRIGGER WARNING: This episode discusses police violence, federal enforcement operations, and community trauma.Recorded January 2025.

What if creating championship-level performance has far less to do with the team you inherit and everything to do with your own mindset and how you lead, design systems, and set standards from day one? That question came up again and again in my conversation with Donzel Leggett, a leadership strategist, executive coach, and the award-winning author of Make Your Destiny Happen. We dive into what leaders can learn from one of the most talked-about leadership turnarounds in sports this season: Curt Cignetti and the remarkable transformation of Indiana Hoosiers football. We unpack why turnaround success isn't about inheriting the “right” team, it's about setting expectations, creating belief, and installing systems that allow people to perform at their best. With more than three decades of leadership experience at Fortune 200 companies, Donzel helps leaders and organizations build clarity, capacity, and intentional leadership. He's also a former Academic All-America football player, which makes his perspective on leadership, discipline, and performance especially powerful.To access the episode transcript, go to www.TheEmpathyEdge.com, search by episode title.Listen in for…What leaders need now to stay grounded, adaptable, and effective amid rapid change and disruption.How to translate big ideas into repeatable behaviors that actually create change over time.Helping individuals take control of their lives and make their destiny happen through life planning and consistent action.

In this episode, we discuss recent developments at Elephant Sanctuary Brazil (ESB) following the deaths of Pupy and Kenya, the sanctuary's two female African elephants, in 2025.As we have seen in recent weeks, we are living in a time that is exposing a troubling side of our society — one where false and negative claims are more readily accepted than positive truth, and where it often seems easier to believe accusations of manipulation and corruption than to accept that honesty and integrity exist. In this conversation, we examine how anti-sanctuary narratives and the temporary suspension of ESB's license to bring in new elephants have emerged in this climate — and why the impact extends beyond elephants, affecting wider wildlife rescue and rehabilitation efforts.At the same time, we explore why this difficult moment may also present an opportunity: to bring clarity through evidence-based review, and to highlight the vital — and too often misunderstood and ignored — responsibility sanctuaries around the world take on when they accept elderly, chronically ill, and end-of-life elephants into their care.We urge supporters to sign and share our petition calling for fair, transparent, and equal standards — ensuring that Elephant Sanctuary Brazil and zoos in Brazil are assessed by the same regulatory criteria.What we know so far about Pupy & Kenya's passingTransparency and Accountability for AllThe episode transcript can be found here.Email: We'd love to hear from you podcast@globalelephants.orgWho we are: Global Sanctuary for Elephants exists to create vast, safe spaces for captive elephants, where they are able to heal physically and emotionally. There are elephants around the world in need of sanctuary, but too few places exist to be able to care for even a fraction of the elephants.

Way Too Little, Far Too Late: Power, Blood, and Corporate Cowardice | The Karel Show Now they want investigations. Now they want resignations. Now — after the damage is done. As Bovino is reportedly pushed back to the border and toward a quiet retirement, Republicans are suddenly calling for accountability and privately urging Kristi Noem to step down. Why the sudden concern? Because they smell blood in the water ahead of the midterms — and they're trying to save themselves. It won't work. They waited too long. Two people are dead. The videos are clear. And no one has been prosecuted for what appear to be killings carried out under the direction — and encouragement — of an out-of-control President and his inner circle. This isn't politics. It's responsibility — and it's being dodged in real time. Then there's Apple. I've been an Apple user since the Lisa. I literally have an Apple tattoo. But watching Tim Cook hand Trump a trophy — and then attend a Melania movie premiere at the White House — raises a serious question: does Apple's leadership still understand its own users, values, or audience? Because right now, it looks like moral surrender dressed up as neutrality. Plus: • Alex Honnold climbs a skyscraper without a rope • Netflix pays for it — and profits from it • Should this kind of extreme risk be encouraged, monetized, and broadcast? This episode asks a simple question that applies to politics, corporations, and media alike: When accountability finally arrives, why is it always too little — and far too late? The Karel Show is live Monday–Thursday at 10:30am PST, streaming on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, iHeart, Spreaker, and more — and simulcast on YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram.

TALK TO ME, TEXT ITThe mic heats up fast: we call out power with names and dates attached, from Minneapolis leaders shifting toward ICE cooperation to the way media framing turns “undocumented” into something softer than policy implies. We don't tiptoe around the language debate—words shape outcomes, and when voters are promised one course and get another, the dissonance is more than a headline. Accountability matters, whether it's a city hall presser or a cable hit that muddles who is a criminal and who is simply convenient to label.Then we board another battleground: the cabin. Southwest's updated policy for plus-size travelers raises fair questions about fairness, clarity, and predictability. If a second seat must be bought up front and refunded only when flights aren't full, does that provide dignity or just another tripwire? We break down how better design, upfront guidance, and consistent refund rules could transform a flashpoint into a workable standard. Because when policies feel arbitrary, frustration becomes the brand.Sports doesn't escape the crosshairs. The NFL's long freeze of Dave Portnoy seems to thaw, but with the caveat that entry requires a purchased ticket. We unpack what that says about credentialing, influence, and who gets to stand on the sport's biggest stage. And we pull apart the Broncos–Patriots officiating controversy, where whistles, replays, and muddled explanations turned a live moment into a trust test. Fans can accept tough calls; what they won't accept is opacity dressed as authority.We close by looking ahead to Super Bowl Sunday: who you're rooting for, whether you'll watch the halftime show, and what an alternative stream signals about culture and choice.

Welcome back! Today we're stepping into Week Four of your SMART fitness journey... the wrap‑up, the checkpoint, the moment where we pause and look at everything you've built over the last three weeks. If you've been here since Week One, you've shown courage, consistency, and a whole lot of heart and if you're joining us now, you're right on time because today is all about reflection, momentum, and setting yourself up for what comes next. Let's dive in!Let's take a moment to look at how far you've come.Week OneYou set your SMART goal.You showed up.You proved to yourself that you could start even if it wasn't perfect, even if it felt messy.Week TwoYou strengthened your streak.You learned how to stay accountable without shame.You discovered that consistency isn't about intensity, it's about returning.Week ThreeYou upgraded your identity.You moved with intention.You completed four days of movement and proved that you're becoming the kind of person who honors their body on purpose.That's not small.That's not accidental.That's growth. And now, in Week Four, we're taking everything you've learned and turning it into momentum.Week Four isn't about pushing harder. It's about integration. This is the week where you ask:What habits are stickingWhat habits need adjustingWhat habits feel goodWhat habits feel forcedWhat habits are becoming part of who I amWeek Four is your chance to refine, not restart. You're not going back to zero. You're building on a foundation you've already created.Here's your official Week Four Listener Challenge. “The Momentum Checkpoint”Over the next 7 days, complete this simple three‑part reflection:1. What worked? Think about the last three weeks.What habits felt natural?What actions made you feel proud?What routines actually fit your life?2. What needs adjusting?Not judging, adjusting.Maybe your workouts were too long.Maybe your schedule needs flexibility.Maybe you need more rest days.Maybe you need more variety.Adjusting is a sign of wisdom, not weakness.3. What's one habit you want to carry into next month?Just one. Not five. Not ten.One habit that feels meaningful, doable, and aligned with who you're becoming.This challenge helps you transition from “I'm trying” to “This is part of my life now.”Let's talk about long‑term accountability, the kind that lasts beyond January.Here are a few ways to stay grounded:1. Keep your goals flexible. Life changes. Schedules shift.Your goals should move with you, not against you.2. Use identity‑based languageInstead of “I'm trying to work out,”say “I'm someone who moves my body.”Instead of “I'm trying to drink more water,”say “I'm someone who stays hydrated.”Identity fuels consistency.3. Build community. Share your wins. Share your struggles. Invite someone into your journey.Accountability grows stronger when it's shared.4. Celebrate the small stuff. Every walk. Every stretch. Every mindful moment.Every return after a setback.Small wins build big momentumTake a deep breath with me.Think about the version of yourself who started this journey.Now think about the version of yourself today.What's different?What's stronger?What's softer?What's more aware? Now ask yourself:What do I want the next 30 days to feel likeWhat kind of energy do I want to carry forwardWhat's one promise I can make to myself that feels kind and realisticHold onto those answers.They're your roadmap for the next chapter.Week Four isn't the end, it's the checkpoint. It's the moment where you recognize your growth, honor your effort, and choose your next step with intention.You've built consistency.You've built confidence. You've built identity.And now, you're ready for whatever comes next.If this Monday Morning Brew series has helped you, share it with someone who's starting their own journey and as always be kind to one another and be the change you want to see in the world!Stay tuned for next week, because we'll share some of our own tips and tricks that we use to stay consistent and accountable throughout the week and we'll talk about the importance of fueling properly before and after our workouts!

This has already failed, and Trump calls out Carney.EU economy is weak and it is getting weaker, there are two paths, one that follows the [CB] agenda the other is Trump economic agenda.

Once they do this, they lost the people. Timing and optics are very important.   Economy  Carney Cracks: Canada Has ‘No Intention’ Of Pursuing Free Trade Deal With China After Trump Threatens 100% Tariffs To review: right before Davos, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney returned from a trip to Beijing and announced a new 5-point ‘strategic partnership’ to ‘diversify our trade partnerships.’ The agreements included slashing tariffs on Chinese EV imports from 100 percent to 6.1 percent for the first 49,000 units, in exchange for China cutting tariffs on Canadian canola from 85 percent to 15 percent until at least the end of the year. Other exports, including Canadian canola meal, lobsters, crabs, and peas will also not be subject to Chinese anti-discrimination tariffs until at least the end of 2026. A week later, Carney told the global elite at Davos resort that the “rules-based order” established by the United States and its allies following WW2 was fraying amid the current rivalry between China and America, so the “middle powers must act together because if we’re not on the table, we’re on the menu.”  Carney said that for their survival, nations should no longer “go along to get along” with Trump.   Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney says Canada has “no intention” of pursuing a free trade deal with China, after Donald Trump threatened to slap a 100% tariff on Canadian exports if Ottawa “makes a deal” with Beijing.   Source: zerohedge.com Trump Is Right About Europe's Weak Economy: U.S. vs. EU Compared  President Trump argued that Europe's economic stagnation is the result of a self-inflicted “civilizational erasure” driven by reliance on what he calls the “Green New Scam,” which he says has replaced affordable energy with costly and unreliable wind power. He further asserted that unchecked mass migration has strained social infrastructure and altered the continent's cultural identity, while a stifling regulatory environment and excessive government spending have suppressed the innovation needed to compete with the United States. Finally, he accused European nations of freeloading on American security, arguing that their failure to meet NATO defense spending targets over the past 70 years has allowed them to avoid the true costs of national sovereignty at the expense of the American taxpayer. Based on current economic data as of January 2026, the comparison supports Trump's critique. While the United States is experiencing aggressive growth alongside widespread deregulation, Europe remains mired in what can best be described as stabilized stagnation. The United States enters 2026 with inflation at 2.7%, steadily returning toward the 2% target. As in President Trump's first term, strong GDP growth has been paired with relatively modest inflation. Fourth-quarter GDP growth is projected at 5.4%, dwarfing Europe's stagnant 0.2%. For the full year, U.S. growth is expected to reach between 4.3% and 5%, while Europe is projected to manage only about 1.3% to 1.6%. On the labor front, the United States maintains its historical advantage, with unemployment at 4.4% compared to 6.3% in the Eurozone. This low level of unemployment has been achieved despite deep government job cuts that reduced taxpayer costs. While the United States reduced federal spending by $100 billion, European fiscal policy has moved in the opposite direction. The U.S. has moved 1.2 million people off food stamps, while European social safety nets are coming under increased strain from rising living costs. In 2024, the most recent data available, EU social protection spending rose by 7%, far outpacing nominal GDP growth. This imbalance pushed the social expenditure-to-GDP ratio to 27.3% across the bloc, with countries such as France and Austria exceeding 31%, reinforcing the strain caused by rising demand for social welfare. Energy remains far cheaper in the United States, particularly electricity and natural gas, due to abundant domestic production, lower taxes and levies, and reduced reliance on imports, with overall prices about half of Europe's and industrial electricity often as little as one-third.

More LNG, more U.S. gas, more renewables… Higher costs baked in. For Brussels this is an irreversible line. After 2027, there's no “going back to normal.” The EU has indeed been importing refined petroleum products from India that originate from Russian crude oil, creating an indirect pathway for Russian oil to enter the European market despite sanctions on direct imports from Russia since December 2022.  This circumvention became prominent after the EU and G7 imposed a price cap on Russian oil, prompting Russia to redirect exports to countries like India and China, where the crude is refined and then resold.    EU officials and analysts have long acknowledged the loophole, which is why recent sanctions packages have targeted it directly. For instance, the EU’s 18th sanctions package in July 2025 banned the import of petroleum products derived from Russian crude processed in third countries, and specifically sanctioned Nayara Energy, an Indian refinery partly owned by Russia’s Rosneft.  The 19th package in October 2025 further tightened measures by sanctioning additional third-country entities, including three in India, for supporting Russia’s circumvention efforts. As a result, major Indian refiners like Reliance Industries have stopped importing Russian crude for certain facilities to comply with these rules and maintain access to EU markets. Russia, meanwhile, continues to adapt by using new middlemen exporters to supply India, aiming to sustain the flow despite the crackdown.  India has not fully stopped importing Russian oil since then, but imports have significantly declined. In 2025, Russia’s share of India’s crude oil imports fell to 33.3% from 36% the previous year, while OPEC’s share rose slightly to 50%.  By December 2025, India dropped to the third-largest buyer of Russian fossil fuels overall, importing €2.3 billion worth that month, with major refiners like Reliance Industries scaling back or halting purchases.    This reduction appears driven by a mix of U.S. tariff pressures, steeper discounts on Russian crude drawing buyers back selectively, and India’s strategic diversification to ensure energy security without fully alienating Russia—a key defense and trade partner. https://twitter.com/KobeissiLetter/status/2015527595975033161?s=20   the CMC Joint Staff Dept: Under investigation for violations 5. Director of CMC Political Work Dept: Removed in 2025 over corruption The US-China rivalry has gone well beyond trade.   The purges depicted in the image of China’s Central Military Commission (CMC) stem from an escalating anti-corruption campaign under Xi Jinping, which has targeted the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) extensively since 2023. This drive is officially framed as rooting out graft, bribery, and disciplinary violations, but analysts widely interpret it as a mechanism for Xi to consolidate power, enforce unwavering loyalty among military leaders, and address systemic issues like incompetence or factional rivalries that could undermine PLA readiness.  The campaign has intensified in 2025-2026, affecting nearly the entire top echelon of the CMC—China’s highest military decision-making body, chaired by Xi himself—leaving it in significant disarray  War/Peace Report: Iran's Khamenei Flees to ‘Fortified' Bunker, Fearing U.S. Strike Following rising concerns over a possible U.S. military strike, Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei has relocated to a heavily fortified underground compound in Tehran, according to reports, which cited sources close to the regime who revealed his son now oversees day-to-day operations.

They explore the cultural expectations that often accompany conversion, particularly in Western societies, where individuals may approach faith with a mindset focused on personal improvement and material success. Joshua emphasizes the importance of understanding that true transformation in faith is an internal process, contrasting it with the external metrics often sought in church communities. He argues that many believers, especially younger generations, are seeking God on their own terms, which can lead to a disconnect between their expectations and the biblical understanding of discipleship.The conversation delves into the necessity of accountability and transparency in the Christian walk. Joshua highlights the dangers of a superficial faith that prioritizes public appearances over genuine internal growth. He encourages new believers to embrace a 'death to self' mentality, fostering relationships that promote honesty and accountability. The episode concludes with practical steps for new believers to engage in their faith journey, emphasizing the need for deep, meaningful relationships that challenge and support spiritual growth. Overall, this episode serves as a call to return to the core principles of Christianity, focusing on internal transformation rather than external validation.TakeawaysTrue transformation is an internal process, not external metrics.New believers often come with cultural baggage expecting God to improve their lives.Accountability is essential for genuine spiritual growth.Death to self is the first step for new believers.Relationships built on honesty are crucial for discipleship.

This week on In Class with Carr, Dr. Greg Carr and Professor Karen Hunter turn to the geopolitical drama unfolding at Davos and the continued Trump-era decline of U.S. global authority—marked by a disassociative political posture that separates power from consequence and rhetoric from reality, deepening both global and domestic fractures.In this moment of renegotiating global and local Social Structures, Africana Studies must reassert its role as both discipline and Governance refuge. Movement and Memory converge in the birthday of pioneering bibliophile and institution builder Arturo Alfonso Schomburg and the transition of master teacher and researcher Dr. Charles Sumner Finch (1948–2026),whose lives modeled study as resistance as Ways of Knowing, centering the search for clarity as method and grounding practice amid disassociative conditions.Are you a member of Knarrative?

Part 3  In this episode of the To Be Better Podcast, Chris and Peaches sit down fresh off an intense couples retreat to unpack what really happens when you stop pretending everything is fine and actually do the work. They debrief the weekend, talk about the energy shift created by Peaches' first guided meditation and sound bath, and share behind-the-scenes details from their women's and men's retreats, upcoming couples retreats, and the early stages of building their church and refuge for abused and struggling men and women. If you're into real marriage talk, couples retreats, guided meditations, chakras, psilocybin, spiritual growth, and practical relationship tools, this episode gives you a raw look at how they blend masculine leadership, feminine softness, nervous system regulation, and deep emotional processing to actually create change, not just talk about it. The heart of the episode is a powerful Patreon email series from a husband who went from cheating and poorly managed polyamory to radical accountability, therapy, ADHD awareness, and the hard question, “Are we still compatible as healthy people, or are we just together out of habit?” Chris and Peaches walk through infidelity, open relationships, trauma-bonding, rebuilding trust after betrayal, neurodivergent “spicy brains,” communication breakdowns, resentment, and what it actually looks like for both partners to earn each other again. If you're wrestling with whether to stay or leave, healing from cheating, navigating poly-to-monogamy, questioning compatibility, or trying to understand ADHD and emotional dysregulation in your marriage, this conversation will hit home and give you straight, no-fluff relationship advice you can start using today.Disclaimer: We are not professionals.

In this episode, I share how I use accountability as a practical tool for ADHD without it feeling punishing or pressured. If you've got ADHD (or AuDHD), deal with time blindness, procrastination loops, or resistance like PDA / demand avoidance, this approach can help you stay present, reduce overwhelm, and actually follow through. I break down the three types of accountability (personal, public, and community), explain why body doubling works so well for ADHD brains, and show how simple check-ins can turn "I'm stuck" into momentum—plus why celebrating small wins rewires motivation over time. You'll also hear about my Patreon Accountability Club (including daily body-doubling sessions and weekly check-ins), and I'm offering a free month for listeners for a limited time.

In this January 26, 2026 episode of Badlands Daily, hosts CannCon and Zak Paine examine how legal processes, election oversight, and institutional responses are converging in real time. The discussion focuses on court activity, procedural developments, and election-related findings, with close attention paid to jurisdiction, evidence, and how cases move forward once formal review begins. CannCon and Zak walk through what is happening inside the system rather than reacting to headlines, highlighting the importance of documentation, timelines, and process over speculation. The episode also explores how previously dismissed issues are resurfacing through official channels, why certain actions are now unavoidable, and how accountability unfolds through structure rather than spectacle. Throughout the conversation, the hosts emphasize patience, clarity, and understanding how outcomes are shaped by mechanics rather than rhetoric.

How Congress Can Stop ICE Abuses—And Why It Must Act Now | The Karel Show Let's be clear: border enforcement and legal immigration are not the problem. Violent criminals, drug traffickers, and human traffickers should not be on our streets. That's not controversial. What is the problem is how ICE is operating — and Congress has the power to stop it. Now. With the January 31 funding deadline approaching, Congress needs 60 votes to fund DHS/ICE. If Democrats vote no, the votes aren't there — and ICE is defunded. That's not radical. It's constitutional leverage. Afterward, Congress can rebuild immigration enforcement the right way: clear rules, real oversight, and accountability that protects both public safety and human rights. We also address why Kristi Noem has failed as a leader in this moment — and why resignation or impeachment should be on the table when leadership enables harm instead of preventing it. Immigration reform is one thing. Removing criminals is one thing. Killing civilians is another — and it must stop. Plus: why has air travel become so miserable? From shrinking seats to engineered discomfort, we unpack why airlines seem determined to make flying unbearable — and who's letting them get away with it. The Karel Show is live Monday–Thursday at 10:30am PST, streaming on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, iHeart, Spreaker, and more — and simulcast on YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram.

Send us a textThe ground is shifting under our feet as AI moves from answering questions to taking action. We dig into what that transformation really means for leaders: how operating models evolve, where risk compounds, and what it takes to capture speed without inviting chaos. With Dr. Jamila Amimer, CEO of MindSenses Global and a recognized AI strategist, we unpack practical steps to go from pilots to production and build systems that are fast, reliable, and governed.We start by separating AI families—predictive, generative, and agentic—and why each demands a different approach to design, safety, and measurement. Dr. Amimer explains why spatial AI and the convergence with robotics will redefine context and capability, and how to prepare now without tossing out today's LLM investments. From domain expertise and humans in the loop to controlled knowledge bases and action approvals, we lay out the essential guardrails to minimize hallucinations, manage model drift, and avoid compounding errors at scale.Then we turn to the human layer. HR data becomes a strategic asset, revealing task flows and handoffs that inform agent orchestration. We talk through preserving meaning and motivation as agents absorb routine work, and how equitable upskilling—analytical thinking, data literacy, exception handling—keeps teams engaged and effective. Accountability and auditability aren't abstract; they're the difference between a clever demo and a trustworthy system your board will support.If you're ready to move beyond hype and design AI that plans, decides, and acts with confidence, this conversation gives you the operating principles to start today and scale tomorrow. If this resonated, follow the show, share it with a colleague who cares about AI governance, and leave a review so we can reach more leaders building responsibly.Thanks for tuning in to this episode of Follow The Brand!

4. Guest Author: Victor Davis Hanson. Headline: The Unaccountable Power of the Deep State. Summary: Hanson warns against the "administrative state," a permanent class of bureaucrats who wield power without democratic accountability, exemplified by regulatory overreach in the raisin industry. He claims this "deep state" actively undermined the Trump administration through "resistance" tactics, viewing themselves as superior to elected representatives.1870 HENRY WARD BEECHER AND HIS SISTER HARRIET BEECHER STOWE
