President Donald Trump's multi-front attempt to remake America and the world is meeting with mixed success. His administration has ended the crisis at the border and is aggressively moving against illegal migrants. But elsewhere the picture is murky. The war in Ukraine rages on, the Middle East continues unsettled and above all, his restless back-and-forth on tariffs and international economics is causing profound damage to faith in U.S. economic stability. And some of his actions suggest an authoritarian style inimical to American values. On this episode of Free Expression, Gerry Baker sits down with Admiral William McRaven, former head of US special operations, to discuss Trump's leadership. McRaven draws on the themes of his new book, "Conquering Crisis: 10 Lessons to Learn Before You Need Them," to assess the first 100 days of Trump's second term, but also the wider challenges of leadership in crisis.

Do you want to experience new beginnings and new blessings? Do you want to know how to succeed in your life and ministry? If so, you must learn how to prepare for great conquest. In the first days of June 1967 Israel faced the prospect of another holocaust. Egyptian President Gamal Abdel Nassar, leader of the Arab world, mobilised vast armies for war, declaring ‘our basic objective will be to destroy Israel.' Only 19 years after the state of Israel was established, the Jewish population of less than three million people prepared for the worst. Rabbis across the country cordoned off areas for mass graves. Hotels were cleared in readiness for use as emergency hospitals and schools were converted into bomb shelters. At the same time the Israeli military was also busy preparing. Early on June 5, 200 low flying Israeli jet fighters launched a surprise attack on the Egyptian air force with such precision and power that it ceased to exist within 3 hours. From that moment, the six-day war was effectively won and Israel, instead of being wiped from the map, more than trebled in size. It captured the Sinai Peninsula, the West Bank of the Jordan River (or the biblical Judea and Samaria) and the strategic Golan Heights. What's more, after 2000 years, it was back in control of Jerusalem, the Western wall and the Temple Mount. Just six years later however, in 1973 Israel's military were nowhere near as prepared for a full-scale enemy attack. Having become overconfident, they were caught off guard when Arab fighter planes and armies attacked Israel on Yom Kippur, the holiest day of the Jewish year, when so many Jews were in their synagogues. Israel's army was outnumbered six to one. 1,400 Syrian tanks made their way down the Golan Heights towards Galilee ready to slice into Israel's heartland. For five days Israel fought a desperate defensive war before recovering to massively defeat Arab armies in a costly 16-day conflict. In both wars preparation, or lack of preparation, played a crucial role. Preparation in any area of life is one of the great keys to success, whether in business, finances, sport or education. The best preparation will also bring significant blessing in your personal life, family life and in church life. As we start a new season of church and school life, we continue our focus on how God told Joshua and the people of God to prepare to conquer the Promised Land, after more than four centuries of slavery in Egypt and 40 years of wandering in the desert. First, God spoke to Joshua saying, ‘Now then YOU get ready' (Joshua 1:2-3). Last week we looked at how Joshua personally had to step up to a new level of leadership. Moses, to whom he had been such a faithful assistant, was now dead and gone. Now was the time for Joshua to accept the baton of leadership and rise up with vision and faith. This was time for him now to look forwards, not backwards, and to be strong and courageous in his leadership. And today it is also time for each one of us individually to do the same. But there was something else that God said here. It was not just Joshua who had to prepare for new challenges and conquest. All the people of God had to move to a new level. Joshua 1:2 says: ‘Now then, you and all these people, get ready to cross the Jordan River into the land I am about to give to them—to the Israelites.' The ways they got ready to inherit the Promised Land shows us how we too as church communities need to prepare for a new move of God and victories that we have not seen before. 1. Get your own house in order (Joshua 1:10-11) 2. Decide to obey God given leadership (Joshua 1:16-18; Hebrews 13:17) 3. Focus on following the presence of God (Joshua 3:2-4; Exodus 13:21-22) 4. Cross over from the old to the new (Joshua 3:16-17) 5. Separate yourself fully to God (Joshua 3:5; Joshua 5:2-7) 6. Receive healing before you minister (Joshua 5:8) 7. Celebrate the conquest of the Cross (Joshua 5:10-12) Apply 1. Get your own house in order (Joshua 1:10-11). Joshua couldn't sort out everyone's supplies; the people themselves had to do that. They had to pay attention to the basics to move on to bigger things (see Admiral William McRaven's book ‘Make your Bed'). For sure as Christians and churches we need to have an increasing influence in the public world, but first we must put our private world in order. It's great you want to clean up the world with preaching, teaching and outreach, but first clean up your own home, kitchen and office. Pay attention to getting your finances structured. Deal with your bills. Put things in files that you can easily access. You will be amazed how much this decluttering will also clear your head and free you up to serve the Lord. So get your supplies ready and do it all in three days! 2. Decide to obey God given leadership (Joshua 1:16-18). ‘Just as we fully obeyed Moses': maybe they were just speaking for their generation because their parents rarely if ever obeyed. Moses faced constant, vicious and unfounded criticism and it was one of the key reasons a whole negative and rebellious generation died out in the desert. But now a new generation decided to change to a culture of faithful support for their spiritual leader. Any church will be blessed where there is a culture of honour and obedience towards God-given faithful leaders (Hebrews 13:17). If you want to see the church of Jesus, locally and globally, stand with authority in the world, be sure to honour authority within the church, whether from the pastors or team of 12. Be positive not negative towards spiritual leaders and pray always for them. If you want to conquer rebellion in society, first conquer it in the church. 3. Focus on following the presence of God (Joshua 3:2-4). The Ark of the Covenant was Israel's most sacred treasure and a symbol of God's presence and power. The people of God needed to stay close to God and value His presence. This was a lesson that they had learned through their escape from Egypt (Exodus 13:21-22). Just as the Israelites needed to stay very close to the Ark, so we need to stay close to the Lord and be sensitive to follow the leading of the Holy Spirit, especially when ‘you have never been this way before.' 4. Cross over from the old to the new. To get into the Promised Land the Israelites had to cross the Jordan river (Joshua 3:16-17). The people had excellent leadership, but they needed to all take steps of faith to cross the Jordan at a time it was in full flood. And that's what a whole nation did. As churches we need to cross over from old patterns of unbelief and step into new realms of faith, from limited blessing to believing for limitless blessing, and from survival mode to conquering new land and multitudes of people for Christ. 5. Separate yourself fully to God (Joshua 3:5). To consecrate means to set apart from sin and to give yourself to wholeheartedly following a holy God. Joshua, like Moses, insisted to the Israelites that if they wanted to conquer the land, they had to live in a radically different way from the people of the land who followed other gods and had corrupt moral and sexual standards. Joshua took particular action to literally mark a new generation for God (Joshua 5:2-7). This rite of circumcision marked Israel's identity as a people wholly committed to God. When God first made a covenant with Abraham, He required that each male be circumcised as a sign of cutting off the old life and beginning a new life. Now Joshua made the decision to circumcise a whole generation who had not previously been marked out as belonging to God. Today, while circumcision is not necessary to becoming a Christian, we must nonetheless separate ourselves from sin and the world, however painful that may be and clearly identify ourselves as belonging to God. 6. Receive healing before you minister (Joshua 5:8). Clearly this mass circumcision was a painful event and people needed time to heal. Today many Christians want to minister to others but first they must receive healing in their hearts and minds and know for sure that all shame and captivity of the past has been rolled off them. This is why it is so important to spend time at encounter weekends that we run. When you have an encounter with God, often deep hurts of the past come to the surface and you can feel very vulnerable. But if you will let the Holy Spirit come close to you, He will comfort you and heal every wound. So you must stay in protective environment of the church with loving leaders to help you, while God is taking you through this process of restoration and reconstruction. 7. Celebrate the conquest of the Cross (Joshua 5:10-12). Passover represented the saving from death and judgement through the blood of lambs that were applied to the doorframes of Israelite homes in Egypt. Today as Christians we celebrate deliverance from sin and death because Jesus, the Lamb of God, took away the sin of the world when He shed His blood at the Cross. And now, because of this we are no longer slaves or desert wanderers. Instead, we have entered God's new kingdom and can enjoy His blessings every day. These seven keys will get us ready for great conquest, both individually and as the chosen people of God. Those who want to move to a new level of conquest, write down and apply each of these teachings starting with putting your own heart and house in order.

Admiral McRaven is a four-star admiral who oversaw the Navy SEAL raid that killed Osama bin Laden; his forces were responsible for the capture of Saddam Hussein; and he also led the rescue of Captain Richard Phillips, who was held hostage by Somali pirates (which became the basis for the blockbuster movie, Captain Phillips, starring Tom Hanks). As commander of U.S. Special Operations Command, Admiral McRaven led a force of 72,000 men and women and was responsible for conducting counter-terrorism operations worldwide. After his military career, he served as chancellor of the University of Texas System, overseeing 14 institutions, 220,000 students, 20,000 faculty and more than 80,000 health care professionals, researchers, and staff. In 2014, he gave a commencement speech at the University of Texas that went viral, titled, “If You Want To Change The World, Start Off By Making Your Bed.” He is also the author of several books, including Sea Stories: My Life in Special Operations and the New York Times Bestseller, Make Your Bed. In this episode we discuss the following: When Admiral McRaven asked his Master Chief how to earn the respect of the soldiers, he responded: “Work hard. Come early. Stay late. Work on the weekends.” You don't have to be the most talented to succeed. But regardless of talent, everyone can work hard. You will earn the respect of others if they know you are working hard on their behalf. Know your business. As a Navy SEAL that meant knowing all about weapons, diving, and demolition. It also meant knowing the details of the playbook. For example, if you're in an ambush, first guy goes left, second guy goes right. When Admiral McRaven's solider accidentally blew off the leg of his colleague, the Master Chief wanted to go relatively easy on the solider. But Admiral McRaven believed they needed to “throw the book at him.” And through the tough love of accountability, the solider bounced back and became Sailor of the Year. How do you gain respect of those you lead? Work hard and be a good person. Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. When I asked Admiral McRaven, “Did you ever get scared?” he laughed out loud: “Yeah, of course. You're scared all the time.” But he was able to fall back on his training and barricade his fears to help him get through countless life-threatening situations.

In this very short episode, Beth was so inspired immediately following a counseling session with a man in his late 60s that she wanted to record this podcast. Her client Joe is blind and has had two organ transplants and faced much adversity due to health problems. And yet he, a retired chemist and chef, continues to develop proactive ideas to help inner city and aging people get access to better nutrition. During their counseling session, he shared a YouTube video, by Admiral William McRaven, called “One Person Can Change the World: The Power of Hope” with tears streaming down his face. It was very powerful for Beth to see a man who struggles to walk and to see, and how he's still trying to change the world, one step at a time. These are the types of conversations that Beth feels are so sacred they must be shared with others.

We are thrilled to share this Special Edition COBT episode featuring Peter Orszag, CEO of Lazard. Peter assumed the role as Lazard CEO in the fall of 2023, after serving as CEO of Lazard's Financial Advisory business. Prior to his tenure at Lazard, Peter's wide-ranging career includes serving as Director of the Office of Management and Budget and as Director of the Congressional Budget Office during the Obama Administration. Peter also served as Special Assistant to the President for Economic Policy in the Clinton Administration and Senior Fellow and Deputy Director of Economic Studies at the Brookings Institution. Mike Bradley, Jeff Tillery and I were pleased to host Peter and hear his unique insights from his experience spanning both public service and private enterprise. Peter recently co-authored an OpEd for Foreign Affairs entitled “Geopolitics in the C-Suite” (linked here) that explores how corporations are increasingly struggling with geopolitical complexity, an area which impacts capital allocation and long-range investment decisions. In our conversation, we cover main themes from the article, global macroeconomic trends, managing a global corporation like Lazard amidst geopolitical challenges, the potential for a “US-EU Super Bloc” and missed opportunities for collaboration in trade and energy strategies, structural challenges facing Chinese economic growth, and the impacts of political polarization on foreign policy. We discuss shifting dynamics in the Middle East, implications of the Chevron deference case (additional information here), factors influencing M&A and restructuring activity, the integration of AI in various industries, Lazard's Power, Energy & Infrastructure team/effort, CFIUS, and overall antitrust activity. Peter shares his perspective on managing information overload, the challenge of addressing long-term US national debt, differences he's noticed between public and private sector planning timelines, and much more. We end by discussing Lazard's vision for 2030 and their “Banker-Scholar” culture. It was a fascinating discussion. For additional reading, Lazard's 2023 Annual Letter to Shareholders is linked here and Lazard's report on Top Geopolitical Trends in 2024 is linked here.

From the acclaimed, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Make Your Bed—a short, inspirational book about the qualities of true, everyday heroes. Listen to Michael talk to Admiral William McRaven about "The Hero Code: Lessons Learned from Lives Well Lived." Original air date 15 April 2021. The book was published on 13 April 2021.
Trust and Inspire: How Truly Great Leaders Unleash Greatness in Others by Stephen M.R. Covey, David Kasperson, McKinlee Covey, Gary T. Judd https://amzn.to/481PQ91 From the bestselling author of The Speed of Trust, a revolutionary new way to lead, deemed “the defining leadership book in the 21st century” (Admiral William McRaven, author of Make Your Bed) that “every parent, teacher, and leader needs” (Esther Wojcicki, author of How to Raise Successful People). We have a leadership crisis today, where even though our world has changed drastically, our leadership style has not. Most organizations, teams, schools, and families today still operate from a model of “command and control,” focusing on hierarchies and compliance from people. But because of the changing nature of the world, the workforce, work itself, and the choices we have for where and how to work and live, this way of leading is drastically outdated. Stephen M.R. Covey has made it his life's work to understand trust in leadership and organizations. In his newest and most transformative book, Trust and Inspire, he offers a simple yet bold solution: to shift from this “command and control” model to a leadership style of “trust and inspire.” People don't want to be managed; they want to be led. Trust and Inspire is a new way of leading that starts with the belief that people are creative, collaborative, and full of potential. People with this kind of leader are inspired to become the best version of themselves and to produce their best work. In this “beautifully written page-turner” (Amy Edmondson, Harvard Business School professor), Covey offers the solution to the future of work: where a dispersed workforce will be the norm, necessitating trust and collaboration across time zones, cultures, personalities, generations, and technology. Trust and Inspire calls for a radical shift in the way we lead in the 21st century, and Covey shows us how. About the author Stephen M. R. Covey is the New York Times and #1 Wall Street Journal bestselling author of The Speed of Trust, which has been translated into 22 languages and has sold over 2 million copies worldwide. He is also the author of the newly released Wall Street Journal bestseller, Trust & Inspire: How Truly Great Leaders Unleash Greatness in Others, which was named as the #1 Leadership Book of 2022 by the Outstanding Work of Literature Awards. Stephen brings to his writings the perspective of a practitioner, as he is the former President & CEO of the Covey Leadership Center, where he increased shareholder value by 67 times and grew the company to become the largest leadership development firm in the world. A Harvard MBA, Stephen co-founded and currently leads FranklinCovey's Global Speed of Trust Practice. He serves on numerous boards, including the Government Leadership Advisory Council, and he has been recognized with the lifetime Achievement Award for “Top Thought Leaders in Trust” from the advocacy group, Trust Across America/Trust Around the World. Stephen is a highly sought-after international speaker who has taught trust and leadership in 57 countries to business, government, military, education, healthcare, and NGO entities.

During this episode, we go into detail about the importance of aligning your health and wellness goals with your personal lifestyle. They offer practical suggestions and tips. These tips will help you integrate fitness into your everyday life without feeling overwhelmed. Here are some highlights from the episode: 1. Mindset Hack #1: Make Your Bed and Drink Water This hack is all about starting your day on the right foot. Admiral William Mcraven wrote a book called "Make Your Bed," which explains how this simple act can give you an instant win and help establish control over your day. By starting your day with a win and asserting control over your life, you can better navigate and manage the challenges you face. 2. Mindset Hack #8: Commit to Less and Do Bonus Reps The speaker emphasizes the importance of committing to smaller tasks instead of overwhelming yourself with large ones. By committing to a smaller task, like 5 minutes of walking, you allow for flexibility and conserve mental energy. You can always add more time or effort as you go along, doubling the rate at which habits are established. 3. Simplify Meal Preparation and Establish Healthy Habits We discuss the importance of planning and thinking ahead when it comes to meal preparation. Using kitchen appliances like an air fryer can make quick and healthy meals a breeze. We also provide tips on portioning out foods and incorporating convenience into your meal planning. Plus, we tackle the challenge of balancing healthy eating with occasional indulgences for yourself or your family members. 4. Optimize Your Morning Routine for Long-Term Success Your morning routine sets the tone for the rest of the day. We explore how everything from making your bed to having a healthy breakfast impacts your hunger, energy, and cravings throughout the day. By improving your morning routine and breakfast choices, you can eliminate nighttime cravings and maintain a healthy lifestyle. 5. Merge Responsibilities and Desires for a Healthy Lifestyle Convenify your life by finding ways to simplify and make healthy choices convenient. We delve into the importance of finding enjoyable activities and involving your loved ones in your health journey. By merging responsibilities and desires, you'll find it easier to establish and stick to a healthy lifestyle. 6. Learn from Mistakes and Optimize Your Life We discuss the mindset of learning from mistakes rather than beating yourself up over them. Punishing intent instead of the event can lead to personal growth and prevent the same mistakes from happening repeatedly. We also emphasize the importance of correcting underlying issues and making quick improvements in your life to avoid unnecessary challenges. 7. Clean Up and Organize Your Life for Success Unresolved matters in our lives can contribute to disorganization and feeling overwhelmed. We discuss the impact of clutter on stress levels, cortisol production, and decision-making. Starting with small tasks like making the bed or cleaning the car can set the foundation for a more organized and successful lifestyle.

“If you want to change the world, you must be your very best in the darkest moments” – Admiral William McRaven
*Admiral William McRaven belongs to the US military elite, a Four-Star Admiral who was tasked with some of the country's most crucial missions. *He hopes his true stories of perseverance, determination, and valor against all odds during his time as a United States Navy SEAL will inspire others to overcome their own challenges. *McRaven came face to face with high-profile war criminals such as Saddam Hussein, and inevitably lost friends and brothers-in-arms in the line of duty. *Through his strict principles of self-discipline, grit, and a stubborn refusal to quit, McRaven advanced and succeeded. His stories encourage us to keep going no matter what and find new power in ourselves.

On May 17, 2014, Admiral William H. McRaven addressed the graduating class of the University of Texas at Austin on their Commencement day. Taking inspiration from the university's slogan, "What starts here changes the world," he shared the ten principles he learned during Navy Seal training that helped him overcome challenges not only in his training and long Naval career, but also throughout his life; and he explained how anyone can use these basic lessons to change themselves-and the world-for the better.

Admiral McRaven was the commander of U.S. Special Operations Command during which time he led a force of 69,000 men and women and was responsible for conducting counter-terrorism operations worldwide. McRaven also is a recognized national authority on U.S. foreign policy and has advised presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama and other U.S. leaders on defense issues. Served as the primary author of the President's first National Strategy for Combating Terrorism Drafted and was the primary author of the National Security Presidential Directive-12 (U.S. Hostage Policy) Drafted the counter-terrorism policy for President George W. Bush's National Security Strategy McRaven's military legacy goes beyond strategy and warfare. As commander of U.S. Special Operations Command, McRaven spearheaded the creation of the Preservation of the Force & Family initiative to ensure the mental, spiritual and physical well-being of those who serve, as well as their families. His wife, Georgeann, has dedicated much of her career to playing a leadership role with military families and wounded warriors. In Sea Stories, which begins in the early 1960' in France, where Allied officers and their wives gathered to have drinks and tell stories about their adventures during World War II -- is where Admiral McRaven learned from the greatest generation. Sea Stories is an in-depth look back on one man's incredible life, where he went to BUDS to become a Navy Seal, to working in the Middle East, to being injured in a parachuting accident, and becoming a very important piece in the anti-terrorism agenda after 9/11. Admiral McRAven played a major part in American military history, having been involved in some of the most famous missions in recent memory, including the capture of Saddam Hussein, the rescue of Captain Richard Phillips, and the raid to kill Osama bin Laden. Instead of highlighting specific adventures and operations that Admiral McRaven was a part of, I am going to read the last chapter of the book, titled The Final Salute. This chapter summarizes so much goodness and honor not only as a high ranking officer in the US Military, but what a man can do when he is driven by values that were instilled in him as a child.

Part 3 of the mini-series of mindset strategies is 'cast a vote'. This phrasing comes from the book Atomic Habits by James Clear, where he talks about 'casting a vote for the person you want to be'. In this week's episode we take a look at how we can use small habits to reinforce a part of our identity that is important to us. Related quotes that we dig into is Aristotle's 'we are what we repeatedly do... excellence, therefore, is a habit, and not an act' (though it turns out this wasn't actually an Aristotle quote!), and Admiral William McRaven's 'make your bed' from his famous commencement speech. You've got to love a quote, but to lift them off the bumper sticker and into our lives we need to look at how we can apply them in reality and that's exactly what this episode (and all the episodes in this series) aims to do.
“If you want to change the world… start by making your bed.” It's a bold statement I read in Admiral William McRaven's #1 New York Times Bestseller: Make Your Bed. But after years of repeating this daily practice, I stand by this quote wholeheartedly. full show notes | www.valerielavignelife.com/206 guide | Build Better Habits (www.valerielavignelife.com/habits) books | Make Your Bed + Atomic Habits instagram | @vallavignelife

New details are emerging about the U.S. attack that killed Al Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahiri. According to a senior administration official, the drone strike took President Biden and his inner circle months to secretly plan, with staffers building a small scale model of Zawahiri's Kabul safehouse to help the president decide when to give the order. One of the masterminds behind the 9/11 terrorist attacks, Zawahiri emerged from the Egyptian middle class to become one of America's most wanted terrorists. CNN International Correspondent Michael Holmes provides details and context. Following his report: an interview with retired Admiral William McRaven, who oversaw and organized the operation that killed Osama Bin Laden in 2011.

The first task of the day Welcome to meditation. I'm so glad you're here. It's a rainy, chilly day in Northern California. It's one of those days where you wanna snuggle up in bed. And that was me all day yesterday. Funny enough, doing podcast interviews last week, somebody brought up the book, Make Your Bed: Little Things That Can Change Your Life...And Maybe the World by Admiral William McRaven. The premise of the book is simple: if you make your bed every morning, you will have accomplished the first task of the day. Replace “make your bed” with “meditate” McRave suggests that by making your bed, you will receive a small sense of pride and it will encourage you to do more. That makes sense. But it also got me thinking…what if we change “make your bed” and replaced it with “meditate?” Meditation is a foundational practice for me. It's the stillness in the swirl of life. So as we meditate together today, I invite you to consider: what might your life look like if you mediated first thing every day? As always, please enjoy!
