We've all learned this the hard way—just because you know what you want to do and how to do it, doesn't mean you will. It's hard to get and stay motivated, especially when it comes to working on your weaknesses. Most of us do better with someone alongside us, pushing us. It's invaluable. It's also irritating. Is there a perfect mix of the two? If so, what does it look like? What's the difference between someone pushing you and just pushing your buttons?

The other day, President Trump announced that he has bombed yet another boat allegedly carrying drugs in the Caribbean sea. He has now struck six boats, with 27 people dead, and the bombings have been widely denounced as illegal. Now, in a strange turn of events, The New York Times reports that the head of the military's southern command, Alvin Holsey, is stepping down amid unclear circumstances. Did his resignation have anything to do with these bombings? Congressman Adam Smith of Washington State, the ranking Democrat on the House Armed Services Committee, thinks the answer is likely Yes. Smith talks to us about what he's personally heard about the resignation and why it's plausible that Holsey was removed over potential opposition to the bombings. He illuminates just how appallingly lacking in transparency the administration has been about the strikes, and vows that his committee will seek Holsey's testimony about his departure, which could be very revealing indeed.

Rep. Adam Smith calls the U.S. ‘the most extreme government in the world’ in a stunningly ignorant claim.

“I had a whole list of people that I thought were going to win,” says Joel Mokyr, “And I wasn't on it.” Waking early, he opened up his computer to find out who had been awarded the 2025 prize in economic sciences, and found emails saying 'Congratulations.' Then, as Mokyr tells the Nobel Prize's Adam Smith in this brief call, he saw missed calls from Sweden on his phone and, “The suspicion started to ripen!” © Nobel Prize Outreach.

“This is the mind of the researcher in Japan,” says Susumu Kitagawa, “Don't switch off the light, even at night.” In this short conversation recorded the day after the announcement of his Nobel Prize in Physics, Kitagawa talks to the Nobel Prize's Adam Smith about his approach to tackling grand challenges, and how to keep a lookout for the unexpected. He also explains how his perspective on research has a lineage that extends back to other Japanese Nobel Prize laureates Kenichi Fukui, Akira Yoshino and even Hideki Yukawa, the very first Nobel Prize laureate from Japan.© Nobel Prize Outreach.First reactions terms of use: https://www.nobelprize.org/ceremonies/streams-terms-of-use Hosted on Acast.

“I set out to build beautiful things and solve intellectual problems.” Omar Yaghi was just changing flights when he had heard the news that he had been awarded the 2025 Nobel Prize in Chemistry. For this conversation with the Nobel Prize's Adam Smith, recorded as he was departing on the next leg of his journey, Yaghi speaks about his early life as a refugee in Jordan, the wonderful way his field has developed, and the overwhelming draw of the beauty of chemistry; “The deeper you dig, the more beautifully you find things are constructed.” © Nobel Prize Outreach.

“Some people thought it was a whole load of rubbish. But it didn't turn out that way.” Richard Robson's new concept for molecular architecture, which occurred to him while building models for teaching, was the starting point for the burgeoning field of metal–organic frameworks. In this conversation with the Nobel Prize's Adam Smith, recorded just after his Nobel Prize in Chemistry was announced, he recounts how this new idea emerged and how, in the end, he just had to do something about it. He also offers some modest reflections on a long life in chemistry, which he says wasn't exactly a vocation: “I sort of drifted into it, I couldn't think of anything better to do.”© Nobel Prize Outreach.First reactions terms of use: https://www.nobelprize.org/ceremonies/streams-terms-of-use Hosted on Acast.

“My wife is very kind to me, so she didn't wake me up for a couple of hours.” John Martinis was sleeping when news of his Nobel Prize in Physics broke, but his wife Jean was up reading late into the night and received the calls, letting him sleep on. In this conversation with the Nobel Prize's Adam Smith, he talks about the excitement of learning how to investigate problems with his co-laureates John Clarke and Michel Devoret, four decades ago, and how that experience taught him what to aim for when building labs in academic and industry subsequently. © Nobel Prize Outreach.

“I was out walking the dogs and she started yelling, and I thought there was a grizzly bear nearby.” Actually, what Fred Ramsdell's wife was telling him, while on a hiking trip together, was that he had been awarded the 2025 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine. In this conversation with the Nobel Prize's Adam Smith, recorded early the following day, Ramsdell recall how the realisation dawned on them. He goes on to speak about the benefits of working in the environment of biotech, the joy of finding talented collaborators, and the importance of celebrating the dedication of those that nurtured hundreds of generations of the all-important scurfy mouse, in which he and Mary Brunkow discovered the FOXP3 gene: “I'm really in awe of the fact that they were able to do that for so long.

“I could not imagine accepting the prize without the two of them,” says John Clarke of his fellow Nobel Prize laureates in physics, John Martinis and Michel Devoret. In this short conversation with the Nobel Prize's Adam Smith, recorded just after the public announcement of the 2025 Nobel Prize in Physics, Clarke recalls the electric atmosphere in the lab, 40 years ago, during their experiments in which they first demonstrated macroscopic quantum tunnelling.

"I believe this will encourage immunologists and physicians to apply the T regulatory cells to treat various immunological diseases.” Shimon Sakaguchi, 2025 Nobel Prize laureate in physiology or medicine, has always been driven by the desire to find new ways to combat disease. In this conversation with the Nobel Prize's Adam Smith, recorded just after the prize announcement, Sakaguchi speaks briefly about his surprise at the news and reflects on the fundamental research question that kept him dedicated to the field after many others abandoned it, a question that took over two decades to answer.© Nobel Prize Outreach.First Reactions terms of use: https://www.nobelprize.org/ceremonies/streams-terms-of-use Hosted on Acast.

“My phone rang, and I saw a number from Sweden and thought, well that's just spam of some sort, so I disabled the phone and went back to sleep.” Mary Brunkow clearly wasn't expecting the call from Stockholm. This brief conversation with the Nobel Prize's Adam Smith catches the new medicine laureate at her dining table at 4:30am, an hour and a half after she had heard the news. She talks about the power of genetics to unravel biology and how she feels it was an honour to have been one of the contributors to solving the puzzle of immune tolerance: “It takes a bunch of different brains, all working on it together, for sure!” © Nobel Prize Outreach.First Reactions terms of use: https://www.nobelprize.org/ceremonies/streams-terms-of-use Hosted on Acast.

Send us a textThis episode explores Book 2 of Adam Smith's Wealth of Nations, focusing on his revolutionary concept of the "division of stock" and how capital accumulation drives economic growth.• Smith distinguishes between fixed capital (machines, buildings, land improvements) and circulating capital (money, goods in transit)• Money is described as "the great wheel of circulation" – necessary but not productive in itself• Banking allows society to economize on expensive metallic currency by substituting paper money• Smith's concept of productive versus unproductive labor helps explain which activities increase national wealth• The acquisition of skills represents "human capital" – a concept Smith pioneered centuries before Gary Becker• Interest on loans is justified as compensation for the productive use of capital, though Smith supports moderate usury laws• Smith identifies four employments of capital: agriculture (most beneficial), manufacturing, wholesale trade, and retail• Smith criticizes mercantilism for privileging foreign trade over domestic production• Division of stock and modern financial markets solve the "time travel problem" by allowing entrepreneurs to access capital without primitive accumulationIf you have questions or comments, or want to suggest a future topic, email the show at taitc.email@gmail.com !

What happens when an experienced economist and an English literature expert have a proper conversation? Quite a lot as it turns out. Morton Schapiro and Saul Morson have written an outstanding book on what economists can learn from the humanities. They argue that Adam Smith's heirs include Jane Austen, Anton Chekhov and Leo Tolstoy – and that economists need a richer appreciation of behaviour, ethics, culture, and narrative – all of which the great writers teach better than anyone. Russell Napier joins the duo in conversation.www.libraryofmistakes.com

Send us a textBook Two of Adam Smith's "The Wealth of Nations" provides the conceptual foundation for understanding how commercial society sustains growth through capital accumulation and the employment of stock. Smith challenges common misconceptions about wealth creation and offers profound insights on the role of capital in economic development.• Capital is not capitalism – Smith wrote before "capitalism" was invented, using the term "stock" to describe accumulated resources• Division of stock works alongside division of labor – capital must be accumulated before it can be employed productively• Justice (protection of person, property, and promise) is prerequisite for investment – without security, people hide rather than invest their stock• Fixed capital (tools, buildings, skills) versus circulating capital (money, wages, materials) form different branches of stock• Money serves as "the great wheel of circulation" – facilitating exchange but not itself productive• Banking allows society to operate with less precious metal – freeing resources for productive investment• Productive labor creates vendible commodities while unproductive labor (government, services) perishes in performance• Parsimony (saving) drives growth while prodigality reduces funds available for productive employment• Interest is legitimate compensation for foregone use of capital – similar to rent on land• Agriculture, manufacturing, wholesale trade, and retail are the four main employments of capital• Modern financial markets solve Marx's "primitive accumulation" problem – entrepreneurs can sell shares of future profitsLet me know your thoughts on these ideas from Adam Smith in the comments below.

Certain environments have a buzz to them. It's fun being a guest there. It's so welcoming and it feels like they've thought of everything. But hospitality doesn't just happen. If you're on the receiving end of an incredible experience, someone provided it for you. Sadly, these kinds of places are rare because these kinds of people are rare. Our culture tends to cultivate more takers than givers. Why is that? What if that's not who you want to be? It's definitely not who God made you to be. So, how do you turn the tide?

Roger welcomes Dr. Mark Skousen, economist, author and the Doti-Spogli Chair of Free Enterprise at Chapman University, for a conversation about Benjamin Franklin's enduring wisdom and what it means for today's debates on liberty, economics and civic life.They explore Franklin's defense of wealth and philanthropy, his views on capitalism and free trade, and his complex relationships with fellow Founders such as Washington, Jefferson and Adams. Skousen shares lessons from Franklin on personal finance, diplomacy, optimism in the face of crisis and even the power of compound interest. The discussion also touches on Franklin's role in shaping the postal system, his influence on Adam Smith's “The Wealth of Nations", and why Franklin's humor and optimism still resonate in divided times.Skousen is the bestselling author of more than 25 books, including his latest, “The Greatest American: Benjamin Franklin, the World's Most Versatile Genius.” He has served as president of the Foundation for Economic Education, writes widely on business and finance, and is the founder of FreedomFest, a national conference celebrating liberty, ideas and free enterprise.

If you bring someone to church who's never been, they'll tell you—the weirdest part is worship. You may be used to it by now, but where else do we huddle in the dark, close our eyes, and sing love songs to someone who's invisible? So, why do churches do it? What do we think it's doing? Can't you get the same effect listening to worship music alone in your car? Why have humans been gathering and singing since the dawn of time? Why does Scripture prescribe it? Can exploring God's intentions change how we approach it and fulfilling we find it?If you're new with us, let us know how we can be praying for you, we invite you to fill out an online Connect Card by visiting https://southhillschurch.churchcenter.com/people/forms/91550—If you are looking for what is next for you, we invite you to fill out an online “Next Steps” card by visiting https://southhillschurch.churchcenter.com/people/forms/672517To give with us select the Give tab on the Church Center App or visit https://southhills.org/giving/ and select the Corona Fund or Corona BOW Fund—Visit our Linktree to find out more about everything mentioned in today's message or follow along with the message slides:https://linktr.ee/SouthHillsCorona —To RSVP for On-Campus Events select the Events tab on the Church Center App or visit https://southhills.org/corona/
