Through personal stories and shared experiences, the group explored how delayed or denied prayers can foster growth, protection, and deeper trust, whether in relationships, singleness, marriage, or personal ambitions. They highlighted the importance of contentment and maturity in every season of life, prioritizing love, relationships, and obedience to God's will over material success or comfort. Ultimately, the conversation underscored that true fulfillment comes from aligning one's life with God's purposes, embracing life's struggles, and faithfully seeking His direction in all circumstances.

Why do we procrastinate, overspend, or neglect habits we know matter? In this episode, UCLA professor Hal Hershfield reveals how our connection (or lack of connection) to our future selves shapes everything from health and finances to ethics and life satisfaction. Drawing on decades of research, Hal introduces practical tools—including reverse time travel, temptation bundling, and vivid imagination exercises—that help close the gap between intention and action. This conversation is equal parts science, story, and strategy for anyone who wants to live with more agency and hope.Memorable Quotes“It involves thinking about trade-offs between now and later, and thinking about sort of balancing out our happiness and our satisfaction over time between the version of us who exists right now and the version of us who exist in the future.”“People change, and we change much more than we expect to. And the reason I think that that's not something to fear is because it means that we have some control over our lives. It means that we can become different versions of us, we can change aspects of ourselves.”“It may be scary at first to recognize that my life could look different in 10 years than I expect it to be. But the reality that we know from decades of research is that as a human being, we're quite good with grappling with change. We're quite resilient. We have a healthy, what's called ‘psychological immune system,' which basically means we can sort of fend off the changes that we don't want and sort of learn to live with the way that life has become.”“What the research has found is that if we make the process of achieving a goal more fun, more enjoyable, more pleasurable, we're just—and this shouldn't surprise anybody—we're a lot more likely to stick it out.”“If we want to spur action, if we wanna take some agency, we not only need to think about the way that we want things to look differently, but we also need to figure out what's the contrast between now and later? And what are the—and this is really important—what are the overcomeable obstacles?”“There's lots of little things where we can cut corners and, you know, we get some gain in the present, but we might get punished in the future. And what we've found in several papers is that the people who feel connected to their future selves are actually more likely to, to take this sort of more difficult but ethical path.”“That's the irony of procrastination. It hurts while we're procrastinating. It hurts after we procrastinated too…[We can instead think] ‘I don't wanna do it now. There's a good chance I'm not gonna wanna do it in the future, so I might as well just do it now.' Just do it and eliminate all that feeling of negativity along the way.”“We can take anything that feels like it's painful, unpleasant, et cetera, and pair it with something that's a temptation.”Key TakeawaysYou Have Agency.

For years, the big spenders in Congress—and the Biden administration—worked together to drive the nation deeper into debt as they wasted taxpayer money on their crazy ESG, DEI far Left agenda. Between the Democrats who just wanna see Trump fail, and the big spender Republicans who want to see any budget cuts fail, Trump has an uphill battle against the “uniparty” when it comes to further progress in the spending fight. Federal finance is the executive branch's job, but it really comes down to Congress which “passes spending and tax legislation,” explains Chief Heritage Foundation Economist E.J. Antoni, PhD., on today's special video commentary. “It's high time those legislators actually do something to fix the problem that they themselves helped cause.”

In this episode, Dr. Jockers is joined by Dr. Jason Fung to break down why weight gain isn't a willpower issue or a calorie problem, but a hunger problem driven by internal signals. You'll learn why eating less often backfires and why controlling hunger is the real key to sustainable fat loss. Dr. Fung introduces the concept of the "fat thermostat," explaining how hormones like insulin, cortisol, and GLP-1 quietly determine whether your body stores fat or burns it. He also reveals how ultra-processed foods disrupt these signals and keep cravings switched on. You'll also explore the different types of hunger that influence eating behavior, why some foods never lead to satiety, and how small shifts in food choice, timing, and lifestyle can naturally reduce cravings while supporting fat burning.

How leaders relate to money, success, and stress rarely starts with them.In this opening episode of 2026, Julian Hayes II sits down with Ruschelle Khanna to explore how inherited trauma, family systems, and unspoken money scripts quietly shape your decision-making, health, and legacy—especially among high achievers.Ruschelle shares how trauma can be passed down biologically and emotionally, why many ambitious leaders tie self-worth to their achievement, and how unresolved family patterns show up as burnout, overwork, scarcity, or emotional rigidity around money. Together, they unpack what it means to build intergenerational well-being, not just financial success, and how leaders can shift from fear-based drive to compassionate, sustainable performance.This is a grounded, honest conversation about wealth, health, identity, and what leaders unknowingly pass on, unless they choose to do the work.— Episode Chapter Big Ideas (timing may not be exact) —0:00 – Introduction and reflections on growing up in the 90s2:45 – The illusion of danger, media narratives, and childhood freedom4:45 – Misconceptions about West Virginia and cultural stereotypes7:55 – What “inherited trauma” actually means9:55 – When issues don't resolve despite years of self-work11:30 – How inherited trauma can shape identity and career paths13:25 – Achievement, conditional love, and high-performing families15:54 – Self-compassion as a missing skill for ambitious leaders16:55 – Why money is one of the hardest topics to talk about18:00 – Shame, security, and the body's relationship with money22:10 – Wealth, poverty, and the mental prisons on both ends23:37 – Family businesses, trauma, and what actually breaks success25:00 – Debunking the “three generations” wealth myth27:38 – Money scripts, emotional security, and social capital29:54 – Separating self-worth from net worth—without losing drive33:16 – Building intergenerational well-being through compassion35:19 – Fear-based identities and the inability to feel safe37:12 – Creating a family mission, values, and shared culture40:40 – How trauma awareness changes leadership style42:07 – Rapid fire: motherhood, training, legacy, and curiosity48:24 – A final question for leaders building wealth and well-being— Key Quotes from Ruschelle Khanna — “We're often operating from coping mechanisms, not our true selves.”“Money sits at the level of security—and shame lives there too.”“Legacy is living fully in the present so it echoes into the future.”“Before asking how wealthy you want to be, ask how satisfied you are right now.”— Connect With Ruschelle Khanna —Website: https://www.lifestyleforlegacy.com/ Ancestral Healing Center: https://www.ancestralhealingcenter.com/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ruschelle-khanna-lifestyle-for-legacy/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@ancestralhealingcenter — Connect with Julian and Executive Health —LinkedIn — https://www.linkedin.com/in/julianhayesii/Ready to take your health, leadership, and performance to the next level?

A tragedy occurs when you reach a certain level of achievement: The mind starts to reorder itself for destruction instead of growth. Worst part? This happens so subtly that it goes completely unnoticed… until it's too late. As achievements accumulate, decision quality erodes. Feedback arrives later and later, so mistakes don't get corrected. They get built into systems and culture. By the time the error becomes clear, reversing it is costly or impossible. That's the bad news. The good news? There's a simple (but not easy) solution to this… but you might not like it because it forces you to finally slow down. And, the unfortunate reality is that this becomes far harder after success. When you let your true values guide you (instead of letting achievement become your governing value), you can avoid the fatal consequences that success brings. Again, it won't be easy - but it's the ONLY way to recover from the Tragedy of Achievement. That's what you'll learn how to do in today's show. Listen now. Show Highlights Include: The "Lost Ship" trap that explains the subtle way success corrupts your decision making (0:30) How success tricks you into co-opting your values and quietly distorting them (2:10) The insidious, step-by-step way that achievement reorders the mind (without your realizing it) (3:38) 3 distortions that happen in your mind when you value achievement too much (and how each of these distortions plant the seeds of destruction - personally, professionally, and emotionally (5:35) Why intelligent and principled (but successful) people drift away from their values without even noticing until they're smacked in the face by a mid-life crisis (7:29) How treating values like courage, compassion, and integrity as "ethical decoration" instead of the key to growth in every aspect of your life is the single biggest mistake high achievers make (8:39) Why losing playfulness fills you with a deep sense of humiliation and shame that results in developing blind spots that create more damage (15:09) The cold, hard truth about why the most dangerous mistakes are made by people who move too fast (not people who hesitate too much) (18:43) How experience only not only fails to protect against misjudgment, but in many cases, it actually makes it WORSE (20:38) For more about David Tian, go here: https://www.davidtianphd.com/about/ Feeling like success in one area of life has come at the expense of another?

In this episode, Swamiji redefines success through Krishna's lens, showing that true achievement is not about defeating others but about elevating oneself. He begins with the story of a little girl at her school sports day who, despite finishing last, was praised by her father for being ahead of many others. The lesson: success is relative, and each person runs a unique race. Swamiji explains that worldly measures of success — medals, rankings, comparisons — often trap us in competition and dissatisfaction. Krishna, however, teaches that the real race is internal: to conquer the mind and rise above its weaknesses. Quoting the Bhagavad Gita (6.5), Swamiji highlights: “Elevate yourself through the power of your mind, and do not degrade yourself. For the mind can be your best friend, or your worst enemy.” He emphasizes that success which pleases God is measured by self‑improvement, humility, and sincerity in effort. Every setback becomes a lesson, every step forward an offering to the Divine. When we stop comparing ourselves to others and focus on becoming better than our past selves, there is no failure — only growth. This teaching matters because it liberates seekers from the anxiety of competition and redirects them toward inner progress. By following Krishna's definition of success, we cultivate resilience, peace, and devotion — achievements that truly please God. About Swami Mukundananda: Swami Mukundananda is a renowned spiritual leader, Vedic scholar, Bhakti saint, best‑selling author, and an international authority on the subject of mind management. He is the founder of the unique yogic system called JKYog. Swamiji holds distinguished degrees in Engineering and Management from two of India's most prestigious institutions—IIT and IIM. Having taken the renounced order of life (sanyas), he is the senior disciple of Jagadguru Shree Kripaluji Maharaj, and has been sharing Vedic wisdom across the globe for decades.
In this conversation, the discussion with C. Thi Nguyen revolves around the nature of metrics, qualitative knowledge, and the duality of scoring systems, particularly in the context of climbing. The speaker shares personal experiences with climbing as a case study to illustrate how scoring systems can both enhance and detract from the experience. The conversation delves into the beauty of climbing, the subtlety of value in metrics, and the importance of savoring moments in games. It also explores the tension between purpose and game mechanics, the role of enjoyment, and the complexities of scoring systems in both games and life. Ultimately, the conversation highlights the challenges of balancing values in decision-making and the risks associated with the gamification of various aspects of life.Takeaways Metrics can miss the subtlety of qualitative knowledge. Scoring systems can enhance or detract from experiences. Climbing serves as a unique case study for scoring systems. The beauty of climbing lies in its scoring system. Values can become obscured when metrics are prioritized. Games allow for exploration of different scoring systems. Achievement play focuses on winning, while striving play values the process. External expectations can pressure individuals to conform to metrics. The addictive nature of games can lead to negative experiences.Chapters 00:00 The Intricacies of Portability and Judgment 01:12 Introduction and Social Media Presence 03:40 The Value of Climbing and Scoring Systems 07:16 The Impact of Numbers in Climbing 09:42 Savoring the Moment vs. Obsession with Scoring 10:59 Goals vs. Purpose in Games 12:39 Understanding Value Capture 17:53 The Shift in Standards of Success 20:33 The Limitations of Metrics 21:42 Games as a Reflection of Human Desire 24:37 The Purpose Behind Scoring Systems 26:07 The Magic Circle of Games 29:15 Achievement Play vs. Striving Play 34:47 When Games Become Unsafe 38:21 The Pitfalls of Portability in MetricsFollow Thi on Twitter, Bluesky, and find his website.

In this episode, I challenge one of the most common personal development habits—affirmations—and introduce a far more powerful alternative. If confidence feels inconsistent… if discipline fades when motivation disappears… and if you know what to do but still struggle to execute, this conversation is for you. We explore why asking better questions—specifically yes-or-no "Will you?" questions—creates faster, more sustainable behavior change than statements, goals, or affirmations ever could. Drawing on decades of behavioral research, identity psychology, and real-world golf and life examples, I break down how questions engage your subconscious, eliminate excuses, and leverage cognitive dissonance to pull you into action—especially when you don't feel like it. In this episode, you'll learn: Why affirmations often fail to create lasting behavior change How asking "Will you?" activates confidence and ownership The psychology behind cognitive dissonance—and how to use it Why yes/no questions eliminate excuses and justifications How identity-based questions reinforce discipline under pressure The subtle but critical difference between can I and will I How to use questions to execute when motivation is gone This is a tactical yet deeply transformational episode designed to help you strengthen discipline, upgrade your self-talk, and accelerate becoming the version of yourself required to achieve your biggest goals—on the course and in life.

Instagram: @thegolfhypnotherapist Key Takeaways: Confidence is built through your relationship with yourself—especially your self-talk. Questions engage your brain more powerfully than statements or affirmations. "Will you?" implies ownership, commitment, and action—not possibility. Yes/no questions remove the mental loopholes that fuel excuses. Cognitive dissonance pushes behavior to align with identity. Discipline is strengthened when actions answer questions—not feelings. Asking better questions accelerates becoming who you want to be. Key Quotes: "Confidence is intoxicating—and one of its strongest predictors is how you talk to yourself." "Questions engage you; statements let you hide." "When you ask 'Will you?' there's no room for excuses—only action." "Cognitive dissonance is the discomfort that pulls you toward who you want to become." "Discipline is doing what needs to be done when you don't feel like it." "Your actions don't follow motivation—they follow identity." "The answer to who you'll become lies in the question 'Will you?'"

High-achieving women often believe pressure is the price of success — but what if that belief is the very thing causing burnout? In this episode of It's Your Time, Michelle explores the hidden pressure behind high achievement and why it's not your schedule, workload, or ambition that's the problem — it's the internal relationship you've developed with success. You'll learn: Why pressure is created by interpretation, not circumstances How your nervous system responds to self-imposed urgency The difference between pressure-based ambition and regulated performance What it means to pursue growth without abandoning yourself This conversation is for women in leadership, sales, and performance-driven roles who want to succeed without burning out — and who are ready to redefine success from identity, not exhaustion.

And using goals as a place for your focus rather than a marker of achievement. This year needs to be different. This year is about community and sharing, kindness and compassion–and of course LOVE! – all the soft things that we cannot assign metrics to. In order to build a world that is truly liberated, we need to work towards right relationship with each other as well as with mother Earth.

Why does it feel like everything is falling apart, even as our lives get materially easier in so many ways? Michael Hyatt talks with author and cultural thinker Virginia Postrel about why progress becomes invisible, how nostalgia for the “good old days” distorts reality, and why modern change moves unevenly.They explore why humans crave beauty and meaning (not just function) and how AI is reshaping the future of work. A clear theme emerges throughout the wide-ranging conversation: change is inevitable, and how we respond matters. Resilience, margin, and an entrepreneurial mindset make all the difference.If you've felt powerless against “big systems,” this episode is a reminder that innovation is often personal, practical, and close to home: start where you are, solve what you can, and expect the unexpected.Memorable Quotes“The issues of character never go away. They are eternal human questions, and we forget because we have sort of nostalgic views of the past.”“Even the smartest AI can't figure out what people want—what people are dissatisfied with. And a lot of innovation comes from that. We tend to focus on big technologies. And even big technologies come from a lot of incremental improvements… A lot of improvements come from people saying, ‘I'm dissatisfied with this,' or ‘Here's something I figured out.'”“Human beings don't just value function. They value pleasure, and they value meaning, and pleasure and meaning are things that are very much conveyed through the look and feel of objects or places.”“Agency is problem-solving. It's you solving problems in your life, or whatever that might be—and it's sort of reversed, too, which is that if you assume that it's someone else's job to solve your problem, you sort of give up your sense of agency.” “A lot of leadership is figuring out what gifts individuals have and getting them moving in the right direction… A big part of leadership as problem-solving is people problem-solving—getting people in the right roles and thinking about how those roles mesh.”“Expect that you're going to be in a world that changes, because that's the world we live in. It's the world we've been living in for hundreds of years. The other thing is: understand this didn't start with you. Other people have gone through amazing and scary and terrifying changes, and our civilization has lived to tell the tale.”Key TakeawaysProgress Becomes Invisible Quickly. We normalize improvements fast—and forget what life used to require in drudgery, time, and basic comforts.Change Is Uneven: Bits vs. Atoms. Software accelerates rapidly, while physical-world progress (like housing) can be slowed by policy, cost, and complexity.Dynamism vs. Stasis Shapes How We Face the Future. Some people see change as positive-sum opportunity; others experience it as zero-sum threat.Agency Grows Through Problem-Solving. When we assume “someone else” must fix things, we trade away our sense of control and possibility.Resilience Requires Margin. Financial cushion, emotional bandwidth, and community support help you absorb shocks and adapt.Entrepreneurship Is Bigger Than Business. You can be “entrepreneurial” by starting groups, building community, or solving everyday problems—not just launching companies.Resourcesvpostrel.com (Website)vpostrel.substack.com (Substack Newsletter)The Future and Its Enemies (Book)The Substance of Style (Book)The Power of Glamor (Book)The Fabric of Civilization (Book)Watch on YouTube at: https://youtu.be/yCMHIdYYS-AThis episode was produced by Sarah Vorhees Wendel of VW Sound
Dave Lukas, The Misfit Entrepreneur_Breakthrough Entrepreneurship
This week's Misfit Entrepreneur is John Garrett—a keynote speaker, award winning author, consultant, and the creator of the powerful concept known as "What's Your And?" If you're looking for the X factor in how to build a culture where people actually perform at their best, feel connected, and bring their whole selves to work… John is the guy you need to hear from. John started his career as a CPA before breaking the mold—quite literally—by becoming a nationally touring comedian. And that's what sparked his groundbreaking discovery: people are more than their job titles, and organizations that embrace their employees' outside-of-work passions—what he calls their "Ands"—build stronger cultures, retain talent longer, and unlock levels of performance and engagement most leaders never tap into. He's worked with companies like PwC, AstraZeneca, and Microsoft, and written the bestseller What's Your And? His message is simple but transformative: We perform better when we bring all of who we are to what we do. And for entrepreneurs and business owners looking to build thriving, winning cultures—John's frameworks are pure gold. I've personally spent time with John and seen him present his concepts live. His insights land. His stories resonate. And the applications for leaders are immediate.

I'm putting things in them, I'm hoping anyway, that I'm dropping seeds in them. If I really was caught up in people, I would have stopped a long time ago. You have to carve out space that feels most authentic to you. Social media is an amazing tool, but it's not the only tool. We have to quiet this noise somehow. If you lose, you don't get picked, that's not a failure. Everything doesn't have to be an announcement. You have to find another outlet versus feeling like you have to share. Be open to assisting. Know what you don't like.

What were President Trump's “achievements” in 2025? The media use and abuse of this term is an important measurement of bias. Conservative wins don't get the A-word. Achievements are programs like Obamacare, lauded as Obama's “signature achievement.” It doesn't matter if the Affordable Care Act ended up affordable. Capitalism is measured by its results. Socialism is measured by intentions.
Michael Carr's story challenges us: Are we truly living, or just surviving our own success?Michael achieved everything he thought he wanted: fashion design success, recognition, the lifestyle of his dreams. Then at 35, it all crashed. Business partnership dissolved. Apartment gone. Friends vanished. But this devastating breakdown became his breakthrough. Growing up on a North Carolina tobacco farm, Michael spent decades proving his worth while crippling anxiety shadowed his success. "Everything I ever wanted came true," he reveals. "And that's when everything broke down." Through his Vis-Ability Alignment Method, Michael now helps others dissolve unconscious patterns in days rather than decades. Stop managing triggers. Start releasing them. The difference? Freedom. Michael Carr—The Mind Alchemist—helps people discover and dissolve the unconscious patterns keeping them stuck, anxious, and disconnected. After nearly four decades managing teams of over 570 people in high-pressure environments, Michael appeared successful on the outside while battling crippling anxiety within. His breakthrough came from releasing—not managing—the hidden beliefs driving his resistance. Through his signature Vis-Ability Alignment Method, Michael guides clients to transform inner resistance into clarity and authentic connection in days rather than decades. He lives in California and offers transformational coaching at michaelcarrcoaching.com.About The Show: The Life in Transition, hosted by Art Blanchford focuses on making the most of the changes we're given every week. Art has been through hundreds of transitions in his life. Many have been difficult, but all have led to a depth and richness he could never have imagined. On the podcast Art explores how to create more love and joy in life, no matter what transitions we go through. Art is married to his lifelong partner, a proud father of three and a long-time adventurer and global business executive. He is the founder and leader of the Midlife Transition Mastery Community.

Episode 3862: Jay Harrington challenges the traditional notion of New Year's resolutions, urging us to trade empty goal-setting for courageous, imperfect action. Drawing lessons from the bumpy launch of Warby Parker, he reminds us that discomfort is the true price of growth, and the only way forward is to just start.

In this powerful conversation, Kelly sits down with leadership teacher and author John Wang, author of Big Asian Energy, to unpack why so many successful leaders feel exhausted, disconnected, and stuck despite "doing everything right." John shares his deeply personal journey from achievement-driven success to near-collapse, and the inner leadership shift that changed how he builds businesses, leads people, and teaches others to do the same. This episode is for CEOs, founders, and business owners who know they've outgrown an old identity but feel uncertain about what's next. Together, Kelly and John explore how authentic leadership, embodied presence, and aligned decision-making are becoming the defining advantages for leaders in 2026 and beyond.

What happens when you've done everything right, hit the milestones, followed the plan, built the “good life” and still feel like something's missing? In this week's episode, I'm joined by transformational coach and spiritual mentor Hélène Caniac for a powerful conversation about what it really means to move from achievement to fulfillment. Together, we explore the embodied, lived-in practice of self-trust, pleasure, and presence; how to sustain your power and purpose without burning out or betraying yourself.We dive deep into the systems that have systemically severed our self-trust, from capitalism and productivity culture to patriarchal conditioning and the ways spirituality itself can become another form of performance. Hélène unpacks how disconnection has been woven into our collective DNA for generations, and why rebuilding trust with ourselves is one of the most radical, world-changing acts we can take.If you've been craving a softer, truer way of living, a way that honors both your depth and your belonging, this episode will feel like a homecoming.In this episode, we explore:The shift from achievement to fulfillment — how to move beyond external success and create a life rooted in alignment, joy, and embodied purpose.The systems that sever our self-trust — unpacking how patriarchy, capitalism, and performance-driven spirituality keep us disconnected from our power.Expanding capacity for joy and freedom — practical tools to cultivate presence, discernment, and nervous-system resilience through seasons of chaos or change.Pleasure as a path of leadership — how enjoyment, play, and authenticity become fuel for purpose, creativity, and sustainable impact.Embodiment in everyday life — living your spirituality “in traffic,” in your relationships, and in the ordinary rhythms of work, motherhood, and leadership.Redefining success — shifting from output and performance toward integrity, connection, and fulfillment that actually feels good in your body.The power of collective healing — remembering that true transformation happens in relationship, through community, curiosity, and shared humanity.Be sure to hit subscribe so you never miss the latest episode!Connect with Hélène Caniac:Website: helenecanhelp.comInstagram: @helenecanhelpJoin Le Salon — Hélène's free Telegram community for thought-provoking seasonal musings, voice-note journal prompts, and early access to upcoming offerings.

Episode 3862: Jay Harrington challenges the traditional notion of New Year's resolutions, urging us to trade empty goal-setting for courageous, imperfect action. Drawing lessons from the bumpy launch of Warby Parker, he reminds us that discomfort is the true price of growth, and the only way forward is to just start. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://www.lifeandwhim.com/first-moments-blog/stop-making-resolutions-just-start Quotes to ponder: "Achievement requires discomfort, but we're conditioned to avoid discomfort." "The truth is, most of us understand that we have to grind for what we want, but rarely are we willing to pay the price." "There will never be a perfect time to start."

In episode 553 of 'Coffee with Butterscotch,' the brothers take stock of a wild year at Butterscotch Shenanigans, starting with the launch of Crashlands 2 and everything that came after it. They talk about testing woes, localization headaches, and the emotional rollercoaster of reading reviews. From there, the conversation turns forward-looking, unpacking why the team is shifting toward smaller, faster projects, what they learned from early experiments with How Many Dudes, and how tools like Ludokit fit into their next chapter.Support How Many Dudes!Official Website: https://www.bscotch.net/games/how-many-dudesTrailer Teaser: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IgQM1SceEpISteam Wishlist: https://store.steampowered.com/app/3934270/How_Many_Dudes00:00 Cold Open00:42 Introduction and Welcome02:44 Crashlands 2 Development Challenges05:41 Launch Day Success and Initial Reception08:45 Content Updates and Player Feedback11:46 Navigating Reviews and Player Expectations14:46 Post-Launch Reflections and Future Directions17:49 Introducing Ludokid: A New Tool for Game Development25:06 Casual Conversations and Game Development Insights25:42 Achievements and Game Mechanics26:38 Ludo Kit and Development Planning28:33 Pivoting to 'How Many Dudes'30:05 Shifting Game Development Strategies31:35 Changing Perceptions of Indie Games34:36 Market Trends and Player Expectations37:54 The Evolution of Game Design40:40 Game Jams and Rapid Prototyping44:49 Demo Development and Market Testing47:54 Future Plans and Community EngagementTo stay up to date with all of our buttery goodness subscribe to the podcast on Apple podcasts (apple.co/1LxNEnk) or wherever you get your audio goodness.

0:00 - One final Avs game in 2025! How's Jared Bednar feeling about his squad? On Monday in his postgame interview, he said he was concerned about the Power Play. Why? Can we expect to see Logan O'Connor any time soon? And most importantly, which member of the morning show would Bednar NOT want to see his daughter date? 20:53 - Against all odds, Vic is embarking on an impossible mission. He's determined to reach his goal, even if his body isn't built for the task. 34:29 - RIP MTV 3 even though it hasn't had any M for like 20 years at this point. We'll miss seeing 24 straight hours of Ridiculousness. (btw the "Real" MTV song Moser had me to play was "Lay It Down.")After that, how much will you judge David Adelman based on the non-Jokic games over the next month?

On Friday's Mark Levin Show, WJNO's Brian Mudd fills in for Mark Levin. ISIS has been butchering Jews and Christians across the Middle East and beyond, and the world knows it. And when President Donald Trump says that if these terrorists keep spilling innocent blood he'll strike back—he means it. No double‑talk. No hesitation. Strength. Under Trump, Americans have seen lower taxes, a stronger economy, a secure border, peace instead of endless wars, the rollback of DEI mandates, and an end to radical policies targeting children. These are facts, not fantasy. Millions of Americans are grateful for it. In addition, Affordability? Americans are better off today than they were in 2020. Tariffs, deportations, and job growth have put real money back into the pockets of working people. Is the country perfect? Of course not. People are struggling. But the nation is rising—economically, structurally, confidently. Growth averaging 4% in Trump's first year is no accident. It's leadership. The media, corrupt, hypocritical, ideologically driven, pretends none of this is happening. They distort, they smear, and they distract, but the American people see through it. That's why the left keeps losing support. Reality has a way of breaking through the noise. If any of Trump's accomplishments have touched your life, your family, your wallet, your safety—then this is your moment. This is your year. Learn more about your ad choices.
