In this bonus episode of Selective Ignorance, host Mandii B welcomes the “classmates” for a lively, interactive assembly, kicking off with a warm introduction and playful nod to community-driven conversation [00:00 Introduction to Selective Ignorance]. The episode quickly jumps into one of the most talked-about topics among women—traveling with friends—as Mandii and the group unpack the unspoken rules, expectations, and preparation involved in group trips, playfully coined the Black Girl Travel Checklist [00:58 Traveling with Friends: The Black Girl Travel Checklist]. From there, the classmates dive into moments of personal ignorance and growth, sharing candid stories that highlight how humor, vulnerability, and participation fuel real conversation [05:42 Ignorant Moments: Class Participation and Sharing]. The discussion shifts to the delicate balance between critique and disrespect in the entertainment industry, sparked by reactions to Denzel Washington’s latest film and the importance of giving honest feedback to even the most respected creatives [09:56 Critique in the Entertainment Industry: Denzel Washington's Latest Film]. This leads into a deeper exploration of the challenges of critiquing cultural icons like Beyoncé and J. Cole, and how fandom, loyalty, and cultural pressure often silence honest opinion [17:25 The Challenge of Critiquing Icons: Beyoncé and J. Cole]. Pop culture continues with a conversation about Ryan Murphy’s new show and Kim Kardashian’s acting performance, questioning talent, opportunity, and industry access [23:37 Ryan Murphy's New Show: Kim Kardashian's Acting Skills]. The group then debates movie date etiquette, unpacking expectations around the “perfect first date,” gender norms, and financial responsibility [29:21 Dating Etiquette: The Movie Date Debate]. The conversation takes an unexpected but fascinating turn into legal consequences of infidelity, discussing the rarely known law of Alienation of Affection—and whether someone can actually be sued for ruining a marriage [39:07 Suing for Infidelity: The Case of Alienation of Affection]. Mandii then pivots toward larger societal concerns, examining the crisis in healthcare education and how policy changes are reshaping student access, training quality, and future care [45:15 Healthcare Education Crisis: The Impact of Policy Changes], followed by a breakdown of Project 2025, exploring its political implications and potential impact on everyday Americans [48:41 Unpacking Project 2025].

But we love a good conversation.In this 2 Be Better Podcast episode, Chris and Peaches kick things off with updates on their upcoming December 5–8 coed couples retreat, breaking down details on bunks, private rooms, who can come solo, and why these weekends are so powerful for couples and individuals who want real relationship growth. Then they dive straight into part two of a heavy email from a wife in a long term marriage, struggling with BPD, emotional safety, and a husband who refuses to change because “this is who I was when we got married.” They walk through her written letter, line by line, unpacking abandonment triggers, preloading divorce conversations, the difference between repair and resolution, and how to phrase “I” and “we” language so you are fighting for the relationship instead of fighting each other. If you are in a mentally exhausting marriage where every argument gets turned back on you, you feel like you are doing all the emotional work, or your healing journey is not supported by your spouse, this episode will feel painfully familiar and give you a clearer framework for what healthy communication and real change should look like. From there, they expose the darker side of a husband who openly says he will not evolve, threatens to weaponize the kids in a divorce, and treats his wife as a conversational enemy while she tries to get her BPD into remission and protect her mental health. Chris and Peaches talk hard truths about when it is time to leave, what it actually means to be “too different,” why you cannot raise your husband like a toddler, and why real partnership requires both people to grow, not just the one with a diagnosis. They also respond to a separate email about a boyfriend constantly commenting on other women's bodies, celebrity crushes, and homemade porn in relationships, giving straight talk on lusting after others while in a relationship, self pleasure, and why “hall passes” and “it is just a movie” slowly destroy self esteem and intimacy. If you are craving blunt marriage advice, BPD relationship insight, and no nonsense coaching on emotional safety, porn, and standards in your relationship, this video will give you language, clarity, and the permission to stop settling.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/2-be-better--5828421/support.

LONOKE COUNTY JUDGE SETS LOW BAIL FOR ANOTHER ALLEGED PREDATOR! DEMS PLAN ANOTHER COUP! ACCOUNTABILITY? ANYONE? EVER? SHOW #58 11202025

Now that the Giudice / Gorga reconciliation tour is in full effect, BravoCon and all, Joey Gorga has a strong message for Bravo, Andy and the fans. Speaking of BravoCon, Wendy Osefo took zero accountability for her alleged actions, seems to remain clueless about her potential future and chose her words very carefully none of which seemed to include her insistence that she is innocent. Last, but not least, Andy Cohen worked fast to dash everyone's hopes of the RHONY OG/Newbie combo but as the future of RHONY is expected to be announced any week now, let us not count the RHONY OGs out just yet.  @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope  BROUGHT TO YOU BY: THEREALREAL - therealreal.com/velvetrope (Get $25 Off At the Best Place To Shop Authenticated Luxury Bags, Clothing, Watches & more) HOMESERVE - homeserve.com (Home Owners Insurance That Start At Just $4.99 a Month) RO - ro.co/velvet (For Prescription Compounded GLP-1s and Your Free Insurance Check) INDEED - indeed.com/velvet (Seventy Five Dollar $75 Sponsored Job Credit To Get Your Jobs More Visibility) RAKUTEN - rakuten.co.uk (Go To Rakuten.co.uk, Download The App Or Install The Browser Extension To Earn Cash Back While You Shop At All Your Favorite Stores) PROGRESSIVE - www.progressive.com (Visit Progressive.com To See If You Could Save On Car Insurance) MOOD - www.mood.com/velvet (20% Off With Code Velvet on Federally Legal THC Shipped Right To Your Door) ADVERTISING INQUIRIES - Please contact David@advertising-execs.com MERCH Available at - https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198 Learn more about your ad choices.

But we love a good conversation.In this episode of The 2 Be Better Podcast, we read raw, unfiltered emails from listeners who are trying to live out traditional marriage roles in a very modern world. We talk about a stay-at-home wife who goes back to work full time and finds a new sense of purpose, what happens to the marriage dynamic when she leaves the house, and why her husband's pride “hits different” now that she's in the workforce. We break down communication, teamwork, masculine leadership, feminine submission, mental health, isolation, depression, and what it really takes to rebuild identity when the kids are grown and the house finally goes quiet. If you're into traditional values, biblical style marriage, or just want honest relationship advice from a husband and wife who actually live this, this is your episode.We also dive deep into a girlfriend who wants a traditional relationship while her boyfriend still lives with his parents, how to submit safely only to a man who can truly lead, and what that looks like when you're still living separately. From arguments over conflict styles (talk it out now vs. taking space), to how to avoid weaponizing divorce, to rebuilding emotional and physical intimacy when you're exhausted, we walk through real examples from our own marriage: conflict repair, apologies, boundaries, leadership, and date-night habits that keep you out of the roommate phase. Expect hard truths, practical tools, and real-world traditional marriage advice on submission, leadership, respect, and intimacy that you can start applying in your relationship today.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/2-be-better--5828421/support.

We talk about building better men through mentorship, accountability, and community, the power of men calling each other out when we're slipping, and why your social circle can either hold you down or force you to level up. We hit leadership in the home, how to be the man of the house without becoming a dictator, how to support a stay at home mom as a blue collar husband, and what provision really means beyond money.

Stacey Plaskett was just saved from censure by Republicans — the same Republicans who have spent weeks pounding the podium about protecting children and holding Epstein-connected figures accountable. They backed off not out of principle, but to shield their own colleague Cory Mills, who is facing ethics violations of his own. It was a stunning collapse of supposed moral courage, with lawmakers folding like cheap lawn chairs when it came time to actually act. The GOP proved that all of their righteous fury was nothing more than stage lighting and sound effects. If they won't even take action against someone they call an enemy, the idea that they would ever go after their own donors or allies is laughable. Every Democrat who voted against censure is just as complicit, exposing the hypocrisy of claiming moral high ground while protecting one of their own. Both parties showed their hand: preserving power matters more than accountability or truth.Stacey Plaskett shouldn't just have been censured — she should be stripped of committees, cut off from party backing, and pressured to resign. Her actions and alliances are indefensible, and protecting her destroys any credibility either party claims to have in the fight for transparency and justice in the Epstein case. If Democrats want to be taken seriously in demanding full disclosure and real consequences for everyone tied to Epstein's network, they must abandon the practice of shielding “favorites” and clean their own house first. You cannot scream about Trump while ignoring Plaskett. You cannot claim to defend victims while protecting someone who served as an institutional shield for a predator's ecosystem. Until both parties stop rolling in the mud, neither can pretend to stand on higher ground. This isn't going away. Accountability starts now — not when it's convenient.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

Bryan Kohberger has just been ordered to pay for another part of the aftermath he created — this time, roughly $3,000 for two victims' urns, on top of the more than $30,000 restitution outlined in his agreement. On the surface, it feels like a moment of overdue accountability in a case where nothing has moved fast enough, clean enough, or confidently enough. But as always in the Kohberger saga… the fine print tells a very different story. In this episode of Hidden Killers, Tony Brueski dives into the judge's ruling — not just what it means for restitution, but what it quietly unlocks. Because the judge didn't just say “pay up.” He said Kohberger can get a job in prison or ask for donations to raise the money. Let that sink in. When the court says “donations,” that opens the door to an entire ecosystem of online supporters, fringe communities, contrarians, and high-profile-case obsessives who will absolutely try to send him money. And legally? They can. As long as it goes toward restitution. But here's the real problem: What happens once the restitution is paid off? That's where things get uncomfortable. Because any money that comes in after his debt is satisfied becomes fair game under prison regulations. Commissary. Comfort. Influence. Power. Even long-term financial positioning. And then there's the big, ugly question most people don't want to touch: Can he someday legally profit from his story? “Son of Sam” laws were gutted years ago. The restrictions people assume exist… often don't. Third-party deals, “creative packaging,” and legally gray revenue channels have helped other high-profile offenders monetize their notoriety. And with this ruling, Kohberger now has the first ingredient he needs — a pathway for money to flow toward him legally. Tony breaks down what's fair, what's dangerous, and what the system just opened the door to. Accountability is one thing. What comes after it? That's the part nobody's ready for. #HiddenKillers #BryanKohberger #IdahoCase #TrueCrimeNews #JusticeSystem #CrimeAnalysis #LegalBreakdown #TonyBrueski #CrimeUpdates #CourtRulings Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

On the surface, it feels like a moment of overdue accountability in a case where nothing has moved fast enough, clean enough, or confidently enough. But as always in the Kohberger saga… the fine print tells a very different story. In this episode of Hidden Killers, Tony Brueski dives into the judge's ruling — not just what it means for restitution, but what it quietly unlocks. Because the judge didn't just say “pay up.” He said Kohberger can get a job in prison or ask for donations to raise the money. Let that sink in. When the court says “donations,” that opens the door to an entire ecosystem of online supporters, fringe communities, contrarians, and high-profile-case obsessives who will absolutely try to send him money. And legally? They can. As long as it goes toward restitution. But here's the real problem: What happens once the restitution is paid off? That's where things get uncomfortable. Because any money that comes in after his debt is satisfied becomes fair game under prison regulations. Commissary. Comfort. Influence. Power. Even long-term financial positioning. And then there's the big, ugly question most people don't want to touch: Can he someday legally profit from his story? “Son of Sam” laws were gutted years ago. The restrictions people assume exist… often don't. Third-party deals, “creative packaging,” and legally gray revenue channels have helped other high-profile offenders monetize their notoriety. And with this ruling, Kohberger now has the first ingredient he needs — a pathway for money to flow toward him legally. Tony breaks down what's fair, what's dangerous, and what the system just opened the door to. Accountability is one thing. What comes after it? That's the part nobody's ready for. #HiddenKillers #BryanKohberger #IdahoCase #TrueCrimeNews #JusticeSystem #CrimeAnalysis #LegalBreakdown #TonyBrueski #CrimeUpdates #CourtRulings Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

When a powerful man says, “She's not my type,” and a jury (actually, multiple juries) finds that man liable for sexual abuse and defamation, that's not just a headline — that's a masterclass in what it takes for a woman to be believed in America. In this episode, writer, journalist, and Not My Type: One Woman vs. a President author E. Jean Carroll joins Nicole to talk about truth, power, paperclips, and what actually happens when you drag a president into court and win. Twice. We talk about the facts, the stories we build around those facts, and why so many people will twist themselves into a pretzel to excuse powerful men while shredding women who speak up. We get into: What actually happened in court — beyond the headlines, hot takes, and Twitter warriors How clothes became her armor and why what she wore in court mattered more than you'd think The “not my type” moment, the infamous deposition photo, and how Trump accidentally proved his own lie Why her sexual history was dragged into the trial — and how she took back that narrative with joy Trauma responses, laughter in the dressing room, and why “if you didn't scream it doesn't count” is garbage How mock juries forced her legal team to reckon with ageism, beauty standards, and who we think is “believable” What she plans to do with the tens of millions awarded in damages — and why giving it away is part of her resistance strategy The big questions this case raises: What does a woman have to do to be believed? And what does a powerful man have to do to be held accountable?  Because this isn't just E. Jean Carroll's story. It's a mirror held up to how we treat women, power, and truth — and a reminder that one 80-something woman can still change the story for all of us. Thank you to our sponsors!

Mike Hoeflich, Mike Sperrazza, and Mike Lomas are back breaking down the latest hypocrisy in politics and media — starting with Harvard's Epstein scandal and the elite double standards behind it. The guys tackle the ongoing debate over releasing the Epstein files and what transparency really means in today's political climate. From Trump's accountability tour and the failures of big government to the crumbling state of education and out-of-control spending, this episode pulls no punches. Plus, a little Bills and Sabres talk to wrap up the week with some hometown energy.(00:00:24) Harvard's Retention of Larry Summers Amid Epstein Scandal(00:06:18) Transparency Debate: Trump's Epstein Files Decision(00:13:13) Accountability in Trump's Safety and Transparency Campaign(00:15:01) Ethical Reporting Standards in Media Broadcasting(00:25:39) Public Perceptions on Government Efficiency and Policies(00:30:05) Education Reform: Empowering Teachers for Effective Teaching(00:38:30) Strategic NFL Game-Time Decisions and Outcomes(00:42:49) Buffalo Teams' Winning Streak and Fan Passion(00:44:46) Saber's Stanley Cup Financial Insights Show

The direction of your life is often shaped by something easy to overlook: the expectations of the people closest to you. Our circle influences how we think about challenges, how we respond to discomfort, and how much effort we believe is required to grow. Today's episode explores the power of our peer group and why intentional relationships are one of the most important decisions we make when building a meaningful life.We've all felt the difference between two environments: one where people complain and shrink their goals, and one where people pursue growth and speak with possibility. The first room quietly drains ambition, while the second room wakes it up. This episode is a conversation about how to step toward the latter. Not by abandoning people, but by choosing alignment. By deciding which expectations you'll allow near your mindset, and which ones no longer serve your future.Growth requires accountability. Accountability requires environment. And environment requires intentional selection of the people who influence our habits, standards, and imagination. You deserve a circle that challenges your excuses and supports your potential.You don't need a perfect circle, you need an honest one. A circle that lives with purpose, demands effort, and believes your best days are still ahead. Today, we'll walk through how to evaluate your influences, how to enter stronger environments, and how to become someone who belongs in the circle you're seeking.Your circle will either raise your ceiling or reinforce it. If you choose your influences carefully, you'll begin to see your identity expand, your discipline strengthen, and your future open into possibilities you may have forgotten were possible.Share this episode with someone who could benefit from the information.CONNECT WITH THE PODCAST:IG: https://www.instagram.com/paulpantani/WEBSITE: https://www.transitiondrillpodcast.comLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/paulpantani/SIGN-UP FOR THE NEWSLETTER:https://transitiondrillpodcast.com/home#aboutQUESTIONS OR COMMENTS:paul@transitiondrillpodcast.comSPONSORS:Frontline OpticsGet 10% off your purchaseLink: https://frontlineoptics.comPromocode: Transition10

In this episode, Stacia and Dani sit down once again with Cole Napper, author of “People Analytics: Using Data-Driven HR and Gen AI as a Business Asset.” A year after his first appearance, Cole returns with bold insights about the seismic changes facing HR and people analytics, and why now is the time to rethink how we define value in the workplace.Cole argues that the future of HR depends on shedding its transactional skin and embracing a new, data-driven paradigm. He discusses why traditional models like Dave Ulrich's COE framework won't survive the decade, how organizations can “discorrelate” from market forces by proving business value, and why fear, not technology, is the biggest obstacle to transformation. With sharp humor and evidence from his own research, Cole makes the case for a redefined HR: one that blends human strategy with AI-powered intelligence to drive growth, not just efficiency.You will want to hear this episode if you are interested in...[00:00] Building a new HR paradigm in the Gen AI era.[06:00] Why people analytics hit its “identity crisis” after 2022.[12:00] How to prove HR's business value beyond metrics.[19:00] The decline of the Ulrich HR model and what replaces it.[24:00] The future of AI-driven workforce transformation.[33:00] The tension between the HR and finance worldviews.[46:00] Why data infrastructure is suddenly “sexy” again.[52:00] Three possible futures for HR in the next decade.Building a New Paradigm for People AnalyticsCole's new book calls for a reset in how organizations use data, not as an isolated reporting function but as a business accelerator. He reveals how people analytics can move from being “scorekeepers” to strategic partners by tackling the questions behind the questions: Why is it happening? What should we do about it? His message is clear, analytics must tie directly to revenue, cost, or risk reduction, or it's just a hobby.The End of HR as We Know ItCole predicts that the Ulrich model, the long-standing HR framework of COEs, service centers, and HRBPs, won't survive the coming decade. As generative AI automates much of HR's transactional work, only the strategic and human elements will remain. He and the hosts debate what should stay human and what can be delegated to machines, exploring the fine line between technological efficiency and organizational soul.AI, Accountability, and the Future of WorkCole cautions that while AI's potential is vast, it cannot replace human accountability. Drawing a parallel with the evolution of chess, he argues that AI will transform HR's “game,” not erase it. The goal isn't to align around AI as a tool, but to use it to unlock entirely new possibilities in how we work, learn, and grow.Infrastructure, Not IllusionFor all the hype, Cole reminds leaders that the foundation of AI success lies in data infrastructure, “the least sexy but most essential lever.” Without it, organizations risk failure in the next wave of transformation. Investing in data quality, architecture, and scalability today determines who thrives, or disappears, tomorrow.Resources & People MentionedPeople Analytics: Using Data-Driven HR and Gen AI as a Business Asset by Cole NapperConnect with Cole NapperCole on LinkedInConnect With Red Thread ResearchWebsite: Red Thread ResearchOn LinkedInOn FacebookOn Twitter

Stacey Plaskett was just saved from censure by Republicans — the same Republicans who have spent weeks pounding the podium about protecting children and holding Epstein-connected figures accountable. They backed off not out of principle, but to shield their own colleague Cory Mills, who is facing ethics violations of his own. It was a stunning collapse of supposed moral courage, with lawmakers folding like cheap lawn chairs when it came time to actually act. The GOP proved that all of their righteous fury was nothing more than stage lighting and sound effects. If they won't even take action against someone they call an enemy, the idea that they would ever go after their own donors or allies is laughable. Every Democrat who voted against censure is just as complicit, exposing the hypocrisy of claiming moral high ground while protecting one of their own. Both parties showed their hand: preserving power matters more than accountability or truth.Stacey Plaskett shouldn't just have been censured — she should be stripped of committees, cut off from party backing, and pressured to resign. Her actions and alliances are indefensible, and protecting her destroys any credibility either party claims to have in the fight for transparency and justice in the Epstein case. If Democrats want to be taken seriously in demanding full disclosure and real consequences for everyone tied to Epstein's network, they must abandon the practice of shielding “favorites” and clean their own house first. You cannot scream about Trump while ignoring Plaskett. You cannot claim to defend victims while protecting someone who served as an institutional shield for a predator's ecosystem. Until both parties stop rolling in the mud, neither can pretend to stand on higher ground. This isn't going away.

Today's conversation starts with a simple question: What are we talking about? And it turns into something bigger—something we've been seeing everywhere. Men who feel stuck. Men who feel adrift. Men running on autopilot and wondering, Now what? Guys who know deep down there's more in them, even if they don't know how to get to it. And here's the thing… the women in their lives see it too. In this episode, we dig into why so many men are wrestling with drift, discipline, identity, and disconnection—and why something like Built For More seems to hit a nerve every time it comes up. If you're a man who knows you were built for something deeper, or someone who loves a man who's fighting through this season, this conversation is going to land.5 Key TakeawaysMost men aren't broken… but they are disconnected. They're stuck, adrift, or running on autopilot—doing what's expected, not what's aligned. That disconnection shows up in relationships, work, fatherhood, discipline, and identity. Men carry silent burdens until they explode. Guys bury stress, shame, fear, and failure deep—until it erupts and wrecks their world. Having a place to speak the truth out loud, without judgment, changes everything. Brotherhood accelerates growth. When a man finally raises his hand and says, “That's me,” and another guy says, “Me too,” everything shifts. Accountability, encouragement, and honesty build strength faster than motivation ever will. Identity needs to be reclaimed—not outsourced. Men have spent generations defining themselves by their job, income, or output. Real identity is rooted in who you are, not what you produce. Until that truth lands, everything else feels unstable. You get one dash—write it with intention. Your life sits between two dates, and you decide what that middle line says. Clarity, confidence, peace, strength, purpose… those aren't accidents. They come from ownership, action, and refusing to drift another year.One truth: Most men know exactly where they're struggling… they're just waiting for permission to say it out loud.

When markets are kind, anyone can look like a genius. The test arrives when conditions turn—your systems, skills, and character decide what happens next.  What are the five drivers every leader must master? The five drivers are: Self Direction, People Skills, Process Skills, Communication, and Accountability. Mastering all five creates resilient performance across cycles. In boom times (think pre-pandemic luxury hotels in Japan) tailwinds mask weak leadership; in shocks (closed borders, supply chain crunches) only strong drivers keep teams delivering. As of 2025, executives in multinationals, SMEs, and startups alike need a balanced "stack": vision and values (Self Direction), talent and trust (People), systems and analytics (Process), clear messaging and questions (Communication), and personal ownership (Accountability). If one leg is shaky, the whole table wobbles. Do now: Score yourself 1–5 on each driver; identify your lowest two and set 30-day improvement actions.  Mini-summary: Five drivers form a complete system; strength in one can't compensate for failure in another. How does Self Direction separate steady leaders from "lucky" ones? Self-directed leaders set vision, goals, and culture—and adjust fast when reality bites. Great conditions or an inherited A-team help, but hope isn't a strategy. As markets shift in APAC, the US, or Europe, leaders with grounded values and a flexible ego change course quickly; rigid, oversized egos drive firms off cliffs faster. The calibration problem is real: we need enough ego to lead, not so much that we ignore evidence. In practice that means owner-dated goals, visible trade-offs, and a willingness to reverse a decision when facts change. Do now: Write a one-page "leader operating system": purpose, top 3 goals, non-negotiable values, and the conditions that trigger a pivot.  Mini-summary: Direction + adaptability beats bravado; values anchor the pivot, not the vanity. Why are People Skills the new performance engine? Complex work killed the "hero leader"; today's results flow from psychologically safe, capability-building teams.Whether you run manufacturing in Aichi, B2B SaaS in Seattle, or retail in Sydney, you need the right people on the bus, in the right seats. Trust is the currency; without it, there is no team—only compliant individuals. Servant leadership isn't slogans; it's practical: career conversations, strengths-based job fit, and coaching cadences. Climbing over bodies might have worked in 1995; in 2025 it destroys engagement, innovation, and retention. Do now: Map your team on fit vs. aspiration. Realign one role this fortnight and schedule two growth conversations per week for the next month.  Mini-summary: Build safety, match talent to roles, and coach growth; teams create the compounding returns, not lone heroes. What Process Skills keep quality high without killing initiative? Well-designed systems prevent good people from failing; poor processes turn stars into "low performers." Leaders must separate skill gaps from system flaws. Mis-fit is common—asking a big-picture creative to live in spreadsheets, or a detail maven to blue-sky strategy all day. Across sectors, involve people in improving the workflow; people support a world they help create. And yes, even "Driver" personalities must wear an Analytical hat for the numbers that matter: current, correct, relevant. Toyota's jidoka lesson applies broadly: stop the line when a defect appears, then fix root causes. Do now: Run a 60-minute process review: map steps, assign owners, check inputs/outputs, and identify one automation or simplification per step.  Mini-summary: Design beats heroics; match roles to wiring, make data accurate, improve the system with the people who run it. How should leaders communicate to create alignment that sticks? Great leaders talk less, listen more, and ask sharper questions—then verify that messages cascade cleanly.Communication isn't a TED Talk; it's a discipline. Listen for what's not said, surface hidden risks, and test understanding down the line. In Japan, nemawashi-style groundwork builds alignment before meetings; in the US/EU, crisp owner-dated action registers keep pace high without rework. In regulated fields (finance, healthcare, aerospace), clarity reduces audit friction; in creative and GTM teams, it accelerates experiments. Do now: Install a weekly "message audit": sample three layers (manager, IC, cross-function) and ask them to restate priorities, risks, and decisions in their own words.  Mini-summary: Listen deeply, question precisely, and ensure the message survives the org chart; alignment is measured at the edges. Where does Accountability start—and how do you make it contagious? Accountability starts at the top: the buck stops with the leader, without excuses—and then cascades through coaching and controls. As of 2025, boards and regulators demand both outcomes and evidence. Strong leaders admit errors quickly, fix them publicly, and maintain systems that track results and compliance. Accountability isn't blame; it's ownership plus support: clear goals, training, checkpoints, and consequences. In startups, this prevents "move fast and break the law"; in enterprises, it fights bureaucratic drift. Do now: Publish a one-page scoreboard each Monday (KPIs, leading indicators, risks) and hold a 15-minute review where owners report facts, not stories.  Mini-summary: Model ownership, build coaching and monitoring into the cadence, and make evidence a habit—not a surprise inspection. How do you integrate the five drivers across markets and company types? Balance is contextual: tighten controls in high-risk/low-competency zones; grant autonomy in low-risk/high-competency zones. Multinationals can borrow playbooks (RACI, stage gates), but SMEs need lightweight equivalents to preserve speed. Startups should resist the "super-doer" trap by delegating outcomes early; listed firms should fight analysis paralysis by protecting experiments inside guardrails. Across Japan, the US, and Europe, leaders who pair people development with process discipline outperform through cycles because capability compounds while compliance holds. Do now: Build a "risk × competency" grid for your top workflows and adjust oversight accordingly within 48 hours. Review monthly as skills rise.  Mini-summary: Tune people and process to context; move oversight with risk and capability, not with habit. Conclusion: strength in all five, not perfection in one Leadership success is engineered, not gifted by luck. When conditions turn, Self Direction provides the compass, People Skills provide power, Process Skills provide traction, Communication provides cohesion, and Accountability provides grip. Work the system, in that order, and your organisation will keep moving—legally, safely, profitably—even when the weather's foul.  Author Credentials Dr. Greg Story, Ph.D. in Japanese Decision-Making, is President of Dale Carnegie Tokyo Training and Adjunct Professor at Griffith University.

“I'm at peace with who I am. I am extremely comfortable in my own skin, I am extremely comfortable with the consequences of my life…I'm not chasing anything or trying to stay relevant, I'm just being myself.” Steve Smith Sr. In this powerful and unfiltered episode of The Pivot Podcast, former NFL star Steve Smith Sr. sits down with Ryan Clark, Channing Crowder, and Fred Taylor for a raw, emotional, and brutally honest conversation about the journey that shaped him and discovering peace from ultimate pain. Known for his relentless competitive fire and fearless attitude on the field, Steve opens up about the battles no one saw—his upbringing, the chips on his shoulder, and the emotional scars that fueled his greatness. From rising as an undersized third-round pick to becoming one of the most explosive receivers in NFL history, Steve breaks down the mentality that kept him fighting long after others would have quit. He discusses his struggles with anger, the importance of mental health, and how he learned to redefine manhood, fatherhood, and purpose beyond the game. The conversation covers accountability, discovering true self, the pressure of public life, and the consequences of actions off the field. Steve addresses the explosive social media allegations that surfaced in February 2025, when a man publicly accused him of having an affair with his wife. In a fury, personal messages and voice calls were released leading to swift and strenuous fallout. Through it all, Steve has largely remained silent in public — but he breaks that silence with the guys as he unpacks the emotional weight of the accusations, his reaction when confronted, embarrassment and how this controversy affected his family and ultimately his own marriage. From the highs of football royalty to the lows of fame and fallout, this conversation gives an inside look at a rock bottom moments to rebuilding from the ground up. Insightful, vulnerable, and at times hilarious, this episode showcases the side of Steve Smith Sr. fans rarely see. It's a conversation about growth, accountability, and the power of owning your story. Whether you're a football fan or simply someone navigating your own journey, Steve's words will hit home.

FIRST HOUR 9-915 Pakistan's Military Dominance: Field Marshal Munir's Power and US Relations Guest: Ambassador Husain Haqqani Ambassador Husain Haqqani detailed the institutional dominance of Pakistan's military, noting that Parliament recently granted Field Marshal Asim Munir legal immunity for life and expanded his power by designating him Chief of Defense Forces, giving him control over the entire military, as Munir aims for presidential privileges without directly taking power, backed by a national narrative that Pakistan is perpetually under threat from India, and gained significant political and psychological advantage through two meetings and praise from President Trump, despite no new US aid or weapons, while Trump, who favors strongmen, may also be using this praise to leverage concessions from Indian Prime Minister Modi, as Munir is taking risks by adopting a firmer stance regarding violence on the Northwest frontier with the Taliban, an approach not well received by the Afghans, with Pakistani politicians historically conceding ground to the military to secure a shared portion of power. 915-930 CONTINUED Pakistan's Military Dominance: Field Marshal Munir's Power and US Relations Guest: Ambassador Husain Haqqani Ambassador Husain Haqqani detailed the institutional dominance of Pakistan's military, noting that Parliament recently granted Field Marshal Asim Munir legal immunity for life and expanded his power 930-945 China's Economic Slump: Export Decline, Policy Failures, and Property Market Stagnation Guests: Anne Stevenson-Yang and Gordon Chang Anne Stevenson-Yang and Gordon Chang discussed the unprecedented slump in China's economic activity, noting cooled investment and slowing industrial output, with exports falling 25% to the US, attributing this long-term decline to the government's 2008 decision to pull back economic reforms and the current 15th Five-Year Plan lacking viable solutions or bailouts for hurting localities, while consumption remains dangerously low (around 38% of GDP) and is expected to shrink further as the government prioritizes technological development and factory production, with the property market collapsing as capital investment, land sales, and unit prices decline, forcing people to hold onto decaying apartments and risking stagnation for decades similar to Japan post-1989, a problem largely self-created due to overcapacity, although other countries like Brazil are also restricting Chinese imports. 945-1000 China's Role in Global Drug Epidemics: Meth Precursors and Weaponizing Chemicals. Guests: Kelly Curry and Gordon Chang. Kelly Curry and Gordon Chang detailed China's crucial role in the global drug trade, asserting that China's chemical exports are fueling a "tsunami of meth" across Asia. Chinese manufacturers supply meth precursor chemicals to warlords, notably the Chinese-aligned, US-sanctioned United Wa State Army in Myanmar. This production (Yaba/ice) is believed to have been diverted from China's domestic market in the 1990s. Both guests confirmed this activity is impossible without the explicit knowledge and support of the Central Committee, noting China grants export subsidies, tax rebates, and uses state banks for money laundering associated with the drug trade. China benefits financially and strategically by weakening US-backed allies like Thailand and South Korea who are flooded with the drugs. This structure mirrors the fentanyl crisis in North America, and experts predict increasing co-production and sharing of chemical methods between Asian drug groups and Mexican cartels. SECOND HOUR 10-1015 Syria's Complex Geopolitics: Air Bases, Sanctions, Accountability, and Great Power Mediation Guest: Ahmad Sharawi Ahmad Sharawi discussed the non-transparent situation in Syria, focusing on reports of potential US air bases (Mezzeh and Dumayr), with denials from the Syrian government suggesting they won't possess the bases but might allow US use for counter-ISIS missions or potentially a security agreement requested by Israel for deconfliction, noting a recent US C-130 spotted landing at the Mezzeh air base near Damascus, while during a reported White House visit, Syrian requests included the removal of Caesar sanctions (partially waived by President Trump) and an Israeli withdrawal from the southern border buffer zone, with domestic movement towards accountability for the Suwayda province massacre and government security forces being arrested, as a Russian military delegation visited Damascus and southern Syria, potentially acting as a deconfliction mechanism between Syria and Israeli forces, with Russia's goal appearing to be balancing regional interests while maintaining its bases in western Syria. 1015-1030 CONTINUED Syria's Complex Geopolitics: Air Bases, Sanctions, Accountability, and Great Power Mediation Guest: Ahmad Sharawi Ahmad Sharawi discussed the non-transparent situation in Syria, focusing on reports of potential US air bases (Mezzeh and Dumayr), with denials from the Syrian government... 1030-1045 Venezuela Crisis: Potential Maduro Exit and Shifting Political Tides in Latin America Guests: Ernesto Araújo and Alejandro Peña Esclusa Alejandro Peña Esclusa and Ernesto Araújo discussed the crisis in Venezuela, noting a powerful US fleet gathered nearby, with Maduro fearing military intervention and reportedly wanting to discuss surrender conditions with President Trump, though his exit is complicated by his ally Diosdado Cabello, who heads operations for the Cartel of the Suns and has no path for redemption, while Maduro's potential fall would deliver a severe blow to the organized crime and drug trafficking networks that permeate South America's political structures, with the opposition, led by María Corina Machado, having transition plans, and Brazilian President Lula neutralized from strongly opposing US actions due to ongoing tariff negotiations with Trump, as the conversation highlighted a new conservative political wave in Latin America, with optimism reported in Argentina following elections that strengthened Javier Milei, and in Chile, where conservative José Antonio Kast is strongly positioned, representing a blend of economic freedom, anti-organized crime platforms, and conservative values. 1045-1100 CONTINUED Venezuela Crisis: Potential Maduro Exit and Shifting Political Tides in Latin America Guests: Ernesto Araújo and Alejandro Peña Esclusa Alejandro Peña Esclusa and Ernesto Araújo discussed the crisis in Venezuela, noting a powerful US fleet gathered nearby, with Maduro fearing military intervention and... THIRD HOUR 1100-1115 1/4 Jews Versus Rome: Two Centuries of Rebellion and the Cost of Diaspora Revolts Professor Barry Strauss of Cornell University, Professor Emeritus and Senior Fellow at the Hoover Institution, discusses the history of Jewish resistance against the Roman Empire as detailed in his book Jews versus Rome. Following the destruction of the Temple and Jerusalem, rebellion continued among Jewish communities scattered across the Roman world. 1115-1130 CONTINUED 2/4 During Emperor Trajan's campaign against the Parthian Empire, a widespread and coordinated "diaspora revolt" erupted in 115–117 AD, beginning in Libya and spreading to Egypt, Cyprus, and Mesopotamia. This was a major challenge, forcing Trajan to divert a legion, as Egypt was the empire's strategic breadbasket. The revolt was spurred by the insulting Jewish tax, the fiscus Judaicus, paid to Jupiter, and the frustrated expectation that the Temple would be rebuilt within 70 years. The Jewish community in Alexandria, possibly the largest Jewish city in the ancient world, was wiped out during the suppression, a disaster for diaspora Judaism. 1130-1145 CONTINUED 3/4 srajan's successor, Hadrian, revered the war against Parthia but recognized the Jews' disloyalty. Starting in 117 AD, Hadrian planned to rebuild Jerusalem as a pagan city named Aelia Capitolina to demonstrate that the Temple would never be restored and to discourage collusion between Jews and Parthians. This provoked the Bar Kokhba Revolt in 132 AD. The leader, Simon Bar Kosa, took the messianic title Bar Kokhba, meaning "Son of the Star," and was accepted as the Messiah by some leading rabbis, including Rabbi Akiva. 1145-1200 CONTINUED The rebels utilized successful asymmetrical warfare, operating from underground tunnel systems and ambushing Roman forces. The conflict was so severe that Hadrian deployed reinforcements from across the empire, including Britain, and the Roman army was badly mauled. The revolt ended bloodily at the stronghold of Betar. As lasting punishment for centuries of trouble and rebellion, the Romans renamed the province from Judea to Syria Palestina. Pockets of resistance continued, notably the Gallus Revolt in 351–352 AD. Guest: Professor Barry Strauss. FOURTH HOUR 12-1215 Iran's Multi-Faceted Crises: Water Scarcity, Pollution, and Transnational Repression Guest: Jonathan Sayah Jonathan Sayah discussed the multi-faceted crises plaguing Iran, reflecting poor management and ecological decline, with Tehran overwhelmed by severe water scarcity as dams dry up and crippling air pollution with CO2 levels 10 times the WHO standard, while the water crisis is worsened by the regime, especially IRGC-affiliated contractors, who prioritize their support base through unregulated mega-projects, leading to rivers and lakes drying up, a deliberate deprivation of clean water that constitutes a human rights violation, as environmental disasters have driven widespread internal migration into Tehran, taxing infrastructure and leading to issues like land subsidence, with the population considered "prime for unrest," while separately, Iran continues its policy of transnational repression, highlighted by the recent foiled plot to assassinate Israel's ambassador in Mexico, as Iran targets both Israeli/American officials and relies on criminal networks to repress Iranian dissidents abroad, while consistently holding American dual citizens hostage as political leverage. 1215-1230 CONTINUED 1230-1245 Ukraine Conflict: French Arms Deal, Sabotage, and the Perilous Battle for Pokrovsk. Guest: John Hardy. John Hardy reported that Ukraine signed a letter of intent with France to obtain 100 Rafale warplanes over 10 years, along with air defense systems. While this partnership is encouraging, Hardy expressed concern that Ukraine is excessively over-diversifying its future air fleet (including F-16, Grippen, Mirage, and Rafale) which complicates long-term sustainment and maintenance. Simultaneously, alarming reports surfaced that sabotage was blamed for an explosion on a major railway line in Poland used to supply Ukraine, fitting a pattern of suspected Russian covert operations against European infrastructure. On the battlefield, fighting continues in Pokrovsk (Picro). Hardy warned that if Ukrainian forces prioritize a politically motivated hold, they risk the encirclement and destruction of troops in nearby areas. Poor weather, such as fog, plays a significant role in the conflict, as Russians often time assaults during these conditions to impede Ukrainian aerial reconnaissance and FPV drones 1245-100 AM raq Elections and Yemen's Houthi Crackdown Guest: Bridget Toomey Bridget Toomey discussed recent developments in Iraq and Yemen, noting that Iraqi parliamentary elections saw a higher-than-expected 56% voter turnout, with preliminary results suggesting Shiite parties close to Tehran performed well and might secure enough seats to form the next government, despite internal infighting and votes remaining largely sectarian, while Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani received credit for stability and his party performed strongly, though many Iraqis doubt the elections affect real change, believing critical decisions are made via elite backroom deals, and turning to Yemen, the Houthis announced the arrest of a purported Saudi-American-Israeli spy ring, a paranoid crackdown following Israel's successful targeting of Houthi government and military leaders in August, with arrests including 59 UN workers and prosecutors requesting the death sentence for 21, aiming to intimidate domestic dissent and signal resolve to Western and regional adversaries, especially in sensitive Houthi locations in Sana'a.

Syria's Complex Geopolitics: Air Bases, Sanctions, Accountability, and Great Power Mediation Guest: Ahmad Sharawi Ahmad Sharawi discussed the non-transparent situation in Syria, focusing on reports of potential US air bases (Mezzeh and Dumayr), with denials from the Syrian government suggesting they won't possess the bases but might allow US use for counter-ISIS missions or potentially a security agreement requested by Israel for deconfliction, noting a recent US C-130 spotted landing at the Mezzeh air base near Damascus, while during a reported White House visit, Syrian requests included the removal of Caesar sanctions (partially waived by President Trump) and an Israeli withdrawal from the southern border buffer zone, with domestic movement towards accountability for the Suwayda province massacre and government security forces being arrested, as a Russian military delegation visited Damascus and southern Syria, potentially acting as a deconfliction mechanism between Syria and Israeli forces, with Russia's goal appearing to be balancing regional interests while maintaining its bases in western Syria. 1307

This episode explores the intersection of politics, scandal, and accountability—raising uncomfortable questions about transparency and power in America.

In this episode, we speak with Lucy Biggers, head of social media at The Free Press and a former climate activist who has completely rethought the story she was telling the world and herself. Lucy shares how she went from a left-wing digital newsroom steeped in oppressor–oppressed ideology and climate doomsday content to slowly "re-educating" herself, especially after COVID lockdowns made her question what the climate movement was really asking of ordinary people. We talk about how smart, idealistic young people get pulled into movements, from climate activism to "Free Palestine" marches and democratic socialists like AOC and Zohran Mamdani, often in search of purpose, belonging, and someone to blame. Lucy walks us through the emotional cost of changing her mind in public, losing old followers, gaining new ones, and learning to stand on principle instead of group approval. We also go bigger: what's happening in our universities and K–12 schools, the rise of extreme voices on both the woke left and the conspiratorial right, and why Lucy still believes in American exceptionalism, free thinking, and the courage to say, "I was wrong" as an act of wisdom, not shame.
