Dennis Sorensen is back! A former super successful senior sales executive who has built a thriving, multifaceted sales improvement firm, Dennis is embedded inside companies doing real transformational work around sales leadership, playbooks, process-driven selling, and unlocking crazy potential through his concept of Ambition. In this episode, Dennis shares what he's seeing on the front lines — what's working, what's not, and how challenging times are forcing sales leaders to become better coaches and skill developers. We dig into talent gaps, the idea of "everboarding" (not just onboarding), strategic sales planning, and why too many teams limit their potential by focusing on how far they think they can climb instead of asking, "How big is the mountain?" Dennis also recently launched his own podcast, Think Big. Win Bigger. — and I had the privilege of being his guest on the inaugural episode. You'll want to check that out as well. Guaranteed you walk away with  a handful of BIG IDEAS after listening to (or watching) our dialogue!

At BossMom, we're normalizing the conversations that help you grow a business while raising a family. In this episode, Dana opens up about the constant struggle moms face when deciding where to put their energy and time. From choosing to cuddle her sick kids all week to flying to Arizona for a mastermind event, she shares the raw truth that being busy isn't the same as being effective. She breaks down why every strategy "works" but most of us are stuck because we lack clarity on what we're actually building. The real lesson? You can't delegate, scale, or find freedom without absolute clarity on who you're serving and why. You don't need more time management tips, you need to get brutally honest about where you're wasting energy on busy work instead of building something that actually gives you the freedom to choose the cuddles when it matters most.

Tactical Transition Tips Round 110 of the Transition Drill Podcast offers practical guidance and career readiness for veterans and first responders, organized based on how far out your exit is. In this episode, learn how a guaranteed paycheck can shift your mindset from building your future to coasting toward it.You've earned the right to think about your pension. You've put in years most people will never understand, and the idea of a guaranteed check waiting on the other side can feel like proof you did it right.But that same calm can quietly take the edge off your preparation.In this episode, it's about the trap that shows up in small, normal decisions while you're still serving: you stop pushing to build civilian skills, you delay the resume, you don't study the market, and you start thinking, “I only need a little extra income.” It doesn't feel like avoidance in the moment. It feels like patience. Then the interview comes, and someone asks what value you bring, and you realize you never practiced answering that question outside your current system.This isn't anti pension. It's pro strategy. A pension is supposed to reduce catastrophic risk, not replace ambition. It's a safety net, not a ceiling.Transition tips by group:Close Range Group (less than a year out): Don't accept a low civilian salary because “you have a pension.” One sentence why: If you start your negotiations low because you feel financially safe, you can lock yourself into a lower earning trajectory for years.Medium Range Group (a few years out): Build your lifestyle on today's money and invest tomorrow's. One sentence why: If you mentally spend your pension now and raise your lifestyle early, you lose flexibility, and flexibility is what protects you during transition.Long Range Group (at least a decade away): Treat your pension like the ground floor of your financial building, not the penthouse. One sentence why: You've got time to stack income sources and financial skills now, so your pension becomes one piece of your plan, not the whole plan.Get additional resources and join our newsletter via the link in the show notes.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:GRND CollectiveGet 15% off your purchaseLink: https://thegrndcollective.com/Promo Code: TRANSITION15Blue Line RoastingGet 10% off your purchaseLink: https://bluelineroasting.comPromocode: Transition10#tacticaltransitiontips #militarytransition #firstresponders

Real estate success isn't just about bigger numbers, bigger awards, or bigger months — it's about what your success is costing you behind the scenes. In this episode, I share a deeply personal story involving a $100,000 loss, a federal investigation, and a moment with my daughter that completely reframed how I think about ambition, pursuit, and what actually matters. This conversation will challenge how you define real estate success and help you examine whether your current path is building the life you actually want — or quietly undermining it.Most agents are trained to chase production at all costs. The industry celebrates volume, rankings, and income, but rarely asks about your heart, your home, or your spiritual health. We unpack how easy it is for high performers to normalize unhealthy tradeoffs and call it growth. Drawing from Scripture and real-world experience, this episode explores how the pursuit of more can slowly choke out purpose, relationships, and calling if left unchecked.You'll hear a practical and faith-grounded framework for redefining real estate success through stewardship instead of accumulation, alignment instead of applause, and presence instead of pressure. We talk honestly about work-life balance and why it feels so hard for driven agents, especially those who genuinely love serving clients but struggle to turn work off. If you've ever felt torn between production and presence, this message will hit home.We also dive into time freedom and what it actually looks like in a service-based business, along with time management for real estate agents who want structure without burnout. Instead of hustle without limits, we discuss building guardrails that protect what matters most while still allowing you to grow. This includes candid discussion around real estate agent integrity — not just in transactions, but in how you lead your family, steward your schedule, and pursue your calling.At the core, this episode is about finding meaning in real estate career growth beyond commissions and closings. It's about becoming the kind of person who can sustain success without sacrificing faith, family, or peace. You'll be invited to ask better questions, examine hidden costs, and realign your ambition with values that last longer than market cycles.If you want real estate success that is sustainable, faith-aligned, and deeply rooted — not fragile and performance-driven — this episode will give you both conviction and clarity.Key Takeaways:Real estate success is not just production — it's what your pursuit is costing your faith, family, and relationships. The most dangerous goals are often the ones the industry loudly celebrates. Chasing more money and recognition can quietly choke out purpose and spiritual growth. Ambition is good — but it must be aligned, structured, and value-driven. Presence at home is a truer scorecard than awards and rankings. Build systems that protect margin, not just income. Measure success by stewardship, integrity, and lasting fruit — not just numbers.Connect with Me!

What if the biggest lie women are sold isn't “have it all”…but “you can have it all at the same time”?This week on Being Different, I sit down with Kate Zepernick — Georgia Tech grad, former consultant, high-achiever, and now mom — to talk about the stuff ambitious women are usually too polite (or too scared) to say out loud.Kate's lived the whole arc: the full-time grind, the “part-time” job that wasn't actually part-time, the strategic career pivots, and eventually the decision to step away without losing herself in the process.We get into:- Why one kid is hard, but two kids changes everything- Why daycare and childcare conversations make people weirdly defensive- Why high-achieving women wait for permission to choose their families- What it actually feels like to lose the praise and identity that come with work- The gray, underused middle ground between full-time careers and staying home- And the uncomfortable truth that a lot of families don't really have the choices we pretend they doThis episode is for the woman who's tired, conflicted, and quietly resentful of her job… but also terrified of who she'll be without it.If this conversation makes you feel seen and a little called out, good. That usually means you're finally being honest with yourself.Hear more from Kate on her podcast, The Momentum Show for Moms in Leadership and connect with her on Instagram @momentum.by.kate- - - - - - - - - - -Liz Durham Instagram | WebsiteSubscribe Apple Podcast | SpotifyBeing Different with Liz Durham is a Palm Tree Pod Co. production

Story Transcript:Hu: A tél zord hidege mindenütt jelen volt.En: The harsh cold of winter was present everywhere.Hu: A hó lágyan hullott, vastag fehér takarót képezve a dombokon.En: The snow fell softly, forming a thick white blanket over the hills.Hu: Egy nagy, fehér sátor állt a havas táj közepén, ahol egy terepi kórház várta az iskolás csoportokat.En: A large, white tent stood in the middle of the snowy landscape, where a field hospital awaited school groups.Hu: Diákok áramlottak be, csizmájuk alatt nyikorogva a hó, miközben izgatottan suttogtak az új élmény miatt.En: Students streamed in, the snow creaking under their boots as they whispered excitedly about the new experience.Hu: Reka és Laszlo is ott voltak köztük.En: Reka and Laszlo were among them.Hu: Reka mindig is egy orvosi karrierről álmodott, ezért izgatottan forgatta fejét körbe-körbe, hogy mindent lásson.En: Reka had always dreamed of a medical career, so she eagerly turned her head around to see everything.Hu: Laszlo, legjobb barátja, azonban kevésbé lelkesedett a kórházi környezetért.En: Laszlo, her best friend, however, was less enthusiastic about the hospital environment.Hu: Egy régi családi betegség miatt tartózkodóbb volt.En: Due to a past family illness, he was more reserved.Hu: Ahogy beléptek a sátorba, Reka szeme csillogott az érdeklődéstől.En: As they entered the tent, Reka's eyes shone with curiosity.Hu: Az ágyakon betegek feküdtek, a padlót orvosi eszközök borították.En: Patients lay in the beds, and the floor was covered with medical instruments.Hu: Az orvos, aki fogadta őket, határozott és megnyugtató hangon magyarázott mindenről, amit látni fognak.En: The doctor who welcomed them explained everything they would see in a firm and reassuring voice.Hu: "Ez egy csodás lehetőség," mondta Reka Laszlonak, aki összefont karokkal állt mellette.En: "This is a wonderful opportunity," Reka said to Laszlo, who was standing beside her with crossed arms.Hu: "Képzeld el, mennyit tanulhatok!En: "Imagine how much I can learn!"Hu: "Laszlo sóhajtott.En: Laszlo sighed.Hu: "Tudom, hogy téged ez érdekel, de számomra a kórházak csak a betegségről szólnak.En: "I know you're interested in this, but for me, hospitals are just about illness."Hu: "Reka hallgatta, ami Laszlot zavarta.En: Reka listened to what troubled Laszlo.Hu: Tudta, hogy el kellene mondania, miért ilyen negatív, de nem akarta megsérteni a hangulatot.En: She knew he should tell her why he felt so negative, but she didn't want to ruin the mood.Hu: Aztán döntést hozott.En: Then she made a decision.Hu: Délután, amikor a nap sugarai elhalványultak a havas tájon, Reka a mező szélén Laszlo elé állt.En: In the afternoon, as the sun's rays faded over the snowy landscape, Reka stood before Laszlo at the edge of the field.Hu: "Laszlo, meg kell értenem, hogy miért érzed így," kezdte bátortalanul, felló nézve a fiatalember szemébe.En: "Laszlo, I need to understand why you feel this way," she began tentatively, looking into the young man's eyes.Hu: "Ez a nap fontos nekem, és szeretném, ha velem együtt élveznéd.En: "This day is important to me, and I'd love for you to enjoy it with me."Hu: "Laszlo sóhajtott, majd elmondta a családjában történt dolgot.En: Laszlo sighed, then shared what had happened in his family.Hu: Reka bólintott, szavakat keresett, amelyek megnyugtatnák Laszlot.En: Reka nodded, searching for words to comfort Laszlo.Hu: "Tudod, az orvosok segítenek," mondta halkan.En: "You know, doctors help," she said softly.Hu: "Segíthetünk másokon, és talán jobban is fogod látni ezt, ha megpróbálod.En: "We can help others, and maybe you'll see this better if you try."Hu: "Laszlo egy pillanatra csendben maradt.En: Laszlo was silent for a moment.Hu: Majd bólintott.En: Then he nodded.Hu: "Igazad van.En: "You're right.Hu: Nem vagyok tisztességes veled.En: I'm not being fair to you."Hu: "Másnap, Valentin-napon, Reka szíve a torkában dobogott.En: The next day, on Valentine's Day, Reka's heart pounded in her chest.Hu: Az orvos ismét fogadott mindenkit, és Reka eldöntötte, hogy bátor lesz.En: The doctor once again welcomed everyone, and Reka decided to be brave.Hu: Még a látogató doktor elé állt, és kérdésekkel kezdte bombardálni.En: She even went up to the visiting doctor and began bombarding him with questions.Hu: Minden válasz csak még inkább növelte vágyát a tudásra és a segítségnyújtásra.En: Every answer only increased her desire for knowledge and to help others.Hu: Laszlo eközben háttérbe húzódott, hallgatta Reka lelkesedését, szívverése lassan megnyugodott.En: Meanwhile, Laszlo stayed in the background, listening to Reka's enthusiasm, his heartbeat slowly calming down.Hu: Valami változott benne.En: Something changed in him.Hu: Látta barátja szenvedélyét és eltökéltségét, és ettől jobban megértette, mit is jelent az orvosi hivatás.En: He saw his friend's passion and determination, and it helped him better understand what the medical profession truly means.Hu: Ahogy véget ért a nap, Laszlo odalépett Rekához.En: As the day came to an end, Laszlo approached Reka.Hu: "Sajnálom, hogy eddig ellene voltam," mondta.En: "I'm sorry for being against it until now," he said.Hu: "Támogatni foglak, ahogy csak tudlak.En: "I will support you as best as I can."Hu: "Reka elmosolyodott.En: Reka smiled.Hu: "Köszönöm," válaszolta.En: "Thank you," she replied.Hu: "Ez nagyon sokat jelent nekem.En: "That means a lot to me."Hu: "A két barát a hóban indul hazafelé.En: The two friends headed home through the snow.Hu: A világ talán hideg volt és kemény, de mindketten valami meleget találtak a szívük mélyén: az igaz barátság erejét és a jövőben rejlő lehetőségeket.En: The world might have been cold and harsh, but they both found something warm deep down in their hearts: the strength of true friendship and the possibilities that the future held.

In this episode of the Oil Markets Podcast by S&P Global Energy, host Jeff Mower, Director of Americas Oil News, is joined by Senior Refining Editor Janet McGurty and Senior Upstream Editor Ashok Dutta to break down the biggest takeaways from fourth-quarter oil earnings so far. How are Gulf Coast refiners positioning for a potential return of Venezuelan heavy crude — and what does it mean for heavy crude differentials? On the upstream side, are shale producers truly delivering "more with less" in the Permian through new technologies and lower costs? What's driving the next wave of M&A? From capital discipline to geopolitical risk, this episode explores whether 2026 is shaping up to be a year of measured growth — or strategic transformation — across upstream and refining.

Starfield is one of the most cinematic games Bethesda's ever shipped… so why haven't we seen much machinima from it? Today we're looking at a mod that might finally crack that open: a fully built settlement with lore, characters, quests, and surprisingly strong voice acting, presented with a “lore trailer” that feels like a slice-of-life tour through a corporate-controlled mining town. We'll break down what it gets right, what it's missing as machinima, and why projects like this might be the new bridge between fandom and professional virtual production.Starfield has been sitting there looking cinematic… and creators have mostly not used it for machinima. In this ep, we dig into a standout exception by @team fire: an ambitious settlement + narrative mod (Arinya / Yeltsin Corp vibe) that ships with voice acting, lore, quests, factions, and “paid mod” ambitions - plus what that could mean for machinima, virtual production workflows, and the future of creator-made expansions.We dive into one of the most ambitious Starfield mod creations we've seen: a new settlement with lore, characters, quests, factions, and fully voiced performances. Why this works:·       It's a real Starfield creation with serious craft (environment dressing, lore framing, VO credits).·       It tees up a bigger convo: “mods as mini-studios,” machinima as a portfolio path (again), and whether Starfield can become a true machinima platform.·       It has stakes: paid creations, bugs/beta realities, Bethesda updates potentially reshaping the ecosystem.Timestamps -01:05 Damien's pick: the Starfield settlement mod + why it caught our eye 03:10 What the trailer shows: Arinya, prefab-built scale, and “lived-in” set dressing 05:25 Lore + story hooks: corporation control, unrest, factions, player choice 07:45 Machinima critique: why it works as a “lore trailer” (and what's missing) 10:05 Camera language: sweeping establishes vs character/coverage (tools or style?) 12:35 Voice acting & credits: why human performance changes the feel 15:10 Ambition vs reality: beta bugs, updates, and building a team 18:05 Paid mod potential: bridge between free mods and official-style expansions 21:10 Mods as career pipeline: machinima exodus parallels + mod-to-studio pathways 24:05 Starfield updates/DLC: risk of breaking mods vs reviving interest 26:35 What this could mean for Starfield as a machinima platform 28:40 Viewer question: have you played it / what Starfield machinima should we cover? Credits –Hosts: Ricky Grove, Phil Rice, Damien Valentine, Tracy HarwoodProducer/Editor: Phil RiceMusic: Phil Rice and Suno AI

We had to block Amy from texting us after getting off track with a discussion about which letter of the alphabet would win if they all got in a fight.

Dans cet épisode de Legend Ladies, je reçois Barbara Lavernos, Directrice Générale Adjointe du groupe L'Oréal.Barbara grandit dans un environnement empreint d'art et de culture mais après avoir hésité avec le conservatoire c'est vers des études d'ingénieure qu'elle s'orientera.Elle rejoint L'Oréal au début des années 90 et y construit un parcours aussi rare qu'atypique, fait de bascules successives, de prises de risques et d'exploration de terrains volontairement inconnus ou elle doit sans cesse réapprendre.Des achats aux usines, de l'industrie au commerce, des opérations à la tech, puis à la recherche et à l'innovation, Barbara accepte à plusieurs reprises de quitter le confort de l'expertise pour entrer dans l'exigence du leadership.Celui où l'on ne maîtrise pas tout.Celui où l'on apprend vite.Celui où la légitimité se construit dans l'action.Aujourd'hui, elle pilote des dizaines de milliers de collaborateurs à travers le monde et façonne la transformation industrielle, technologique et durable de l'un des plus grands groupes mondiaux.En intégrant très tôt la tech, la data et la durabilité au cœur de la stratégie, elle a contribué à faire de L'Oréal un acteur majeur de la Beauty Tech.Mais au-delà des titres et des responsabilités, cette conversation s'intéresse à la femme derrière la fonction.Aux moments de doute.Aux choix parfois difficiles.À la manière de tenir dans la durée, quand la pression est immense et que les décisions engagent bien au-delà de soi.Nous avons parlé de légitimité, de pouvoir, de maternité, de solitude parfois, de vision, de responsabilité, et de ce que signifie vraiment diriger sans se perdre.Un échange profond et sans posture avec une femme qui incarne un leadership exigeant, lucide et profondément incarné.Et qui nous rappelle que les trajectoires les plus solides sont souvent celles que l'on ose réinventer.✨ Bonne écoute.

Dans ce nouvel épisode de la VAR Politique, Nabil Touati décrypte une des candidates les plus imprévisibles de la campagne municipale à Paris : Rachida Dati.▶ Soutenez Le Média :

George Saunders is tired of being the “kindness guy.”Saunders is one of my favorite fiction writers, and a friend of the pod; I talked to him back in 2021 and 2022. He also has a reputation as a kind of guru of kindness, thanks to a viral commencement speech he gave back in 2013. We talked about kindness on the show before.But with the publication of his new novel, “Vigil,” I noticed that something about Saunders seemed to have shifted. He was pushing back against that public persona, and wrestling with darker themes.“Vigil” follows an oil tycoon who, on his deathbed, is visited by angels and people from his past asking him to reassess his life. And you can feel a tension in that book that is also very alive in Saunders himself — between recognizing how much of our lives are conditioned by our circumstances and the need to pass judgment to reckon with the truth.In this conversation, I discuss that tension with Saunders. I ask him about his relationship not just to kindness but also to anger; how he defines sin; whether he believes in free will; and what he thinks lies beyond kindness.This episode contains strong language.Mentioned:Vigil by George Saunders“What It Means to Be Kind in a Cruel World” by The Ezra Klein Show“George Saunders Convocation Speech 2013”“A Tough Question Indeed” by George SaundersEast West Street by Philippe Sands“When Is It Genocide?” by The Ezra Klein ShowBook Recommendations:I Will Bear Witness, Volume 1 by Victor KlempererRed Cavalry and Other Stories by Isaac BabelThe Place of Tides by James RebanksThoughts?

How often have you heard the rhetoric that if you want success badly enough, if you work hard enough, you'll find success? As women, we grow up with a promise—from little girls who can “be whatever we want to be” to full-grown “girl bosses,” the world is our equal-opportunity oyster. But the data doesn't prove this out. It's that data Stefanie O'Connell breaks down and picks apart in her new book, The Ambition Penalty, and in our honest and research-backed conversation. As her book's tagline says, “corporate culture tells women to step up―and then pushes them down.” Whether this feels all too real to you or you're skeptical, Stefanie's exploration of the metrics and the myths will get you thinking about how you challenge inequality in every environment where it still thrives.Stop blaming yourself and start challenging the status quo:Why prioritizing self-optimization can backfire;The systems we should be holding accountable for the ongoing inequality;The problem with the male victimhood narrative;What happens when we model healthy power and gender dynamics to our children?Related Links:Listen to Episode 408, Women and the Ambition Penalty - https://www.bossedup.org/podcast/episode408Connect with Stefanie on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/stefanieoconnell/Pre-order The Ambition Penalty - https://bookshop.org/p/books/the-ambition-penalty-how-corporate-culture-tells-women-to-step-up-and-then-pushes-them-down-stefanie-o-connell/bf6de978036a09ffSubscribe to Too Ambitious on Substack - https://tooambitious.substack.com/Follow Stefanie on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/stefanieoconnell/TAKE ACTION with Bossed Up - https://www.bossedup.org/takeactionBossed Up Courage Community - https://www.facebook.com/groups/927776673968737/Bossed Up LinkedIn Group - https://www.linkedin.com/groups/7071888/ Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

What happens when our obsession with being better than everyone else destroys both who we are and how we relate to each other? Dr. Miroslav Volf joins us to talk about his new book The Cost of Ambition and why America's comparison culture, achievement addiction, and hardening tribal identities are setting us up for something dangerous. Volf witnessed neighbors turn on neighbors during the Yugoslav wars, and he's seeing the warning signs again—right here, right now. We dive into how striving for superiority traps us in an unstable cycle of pride and inferiority, why our worth can't be based on achievement, and what it means to trust in our naked humanity as the site of God's gift rather than our endless performance metrics. From social media's algorithmic comparison engines to the terror of trusting Jesus to raise our kids, this conversation cuts deep into the spiritual crisis of modern life and points toward a different way—one grounded in the self-giving love of Christ rather than the desperate scramble to stay on top. You can WATCH the conversation on YouTube Dr. Miroslav Volf is the Henry B. Wright Professor of Theology at Yale Divinity School and founding director of the Yale Center for Faith and Culture. Born in Croatia, he lived through the Yugoslav wars—an experience that profoundly shaped his theological work on reconciliation, identity, and belonging. He is the author of numerous influential books including Exclusion and Embrace, Free of Charge, and his newest works The Cost of Ambition and Glimmerings (co-authored with poet Christian Wiman). Widely recognized as one of the world's most respected theologians, Volf's work bridges the academy and the church, helping Christians reflect on faith, public life, and what it means to follow Christ in fractured times.

UPCOMING ONLINE LENT CLASS: Jesus in Galilee w/ John Dominic Crossan⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ What can we actually know about Jesus of Nazareth? And, what difference does it make? ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠This Lenten class ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠begins where all of Dr. John Dominic Crossan's has work begins: with history. What was actually happening in Galilee in the 20s CE? What did Herod Antipas' transformation of the "Sea of Galilee" into the commercial "Sea of Tiberias" mean for peasant fishing communities? Why did Jesus emerge from John's baptism movement proclaiming God's Rule through parables—and what made that medium so perfectly suited to that message? Only by understanding what Jesus' parables meant then can we wrestle with what they might demand of us now. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠The class is donation-based, including 0, so join, get info, and join up here.⁠⁠⁠⁠ This podcast is a ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Homebrewed Christianity ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠production.

This storm is described as the strongest radiation event in 20 years, with scientists noting its potential similarity to the historic 1859 Carrington event. The solar activity has disrupted radio communications and produced stunning auroras, while the sun continues its 11-year solar cycle.Nasa's Artemis 2 Mission DelayedNASA has postponed the launch of its Artemis 2 manned moon mission due to fuel leaks during a critical launch rehearsal. The mission aims to send a crew of four aboard an Orion spacecraft on a 10-day journey around the moon. The delays stem from issues with the SLS rocket's hydrogen tanks and other technical challenges, with new launch windows opening in March.China's Orbital Space Carrier PlansChina has announced plans for a Star Wars-style orbital space carrier named Luanio, designed to deploy hypersonic missiles and unmanned stealth drones. This massive spacecraft would be part of an ambitious defense system, although the technology to build such a vehicle is still in the realm of science fiction.

WELCOME BACK TO ANOTHER EPISODE OF MAN VS MARRIAGE !Most men don't choose disappointment — they acclimate to it.It doesn't happen all at once.It starts quietly.Loneliness creeps in.Ambition fades.Health slips.Patience shortens.And instead of confronting it, we normalize it.In this episode, I talk about how unidentified disappointment often gets mislabeled as anger, how the ego steps in to protect us, and how a familiar internal narrative begins to loop:“Here we go again… I knew it… this always happens.”That loop doesn't just affect your mood — it slowly erodes authority.This conversation isn't about blame.It's about awareness.Because the moment a man stops pretending disappointment is normal, leadership begins to come back online.If you've felt stuck, edgy, or quietly frustrated and couldn't quite put your finger on why — this episode is for you.man vs marriage, mvsm, men and leadership, personal responsibility, disappointment in men, men settling, masculine leadership, men and purpose, identity formation, emotional control, self discipline, integrity as a man, men doing the work, leadership begins with self, marriage podcast, mens growth podcast, endurance mindset, authority and leadership, men and accountability

Hello, listeners, and welcome back to part 2 of the 51st episode of First Principles.Ms. Kalpana Morparia reached out to us via email after the bro-ification episode. It was the most pleasant surprise and we immediately knew we had to get her on the podcast.Here's someone who joined ICICI in 1975 as a lawyer, had absolutely no background in finance, and was then asked to run Treasury. She was terrified but her colleagues told her: "You do not say no to Mr. Kamath and live to have a great career in ICICI."So she said yes and built one of the most remarkable careers in Indian banking.She talks about the ICICI culture where contradicting the chairman wasn't just allowed, it was encouraged. A senior JPMorgan executive once said the most impressive thing about ICICI was that "the junior-most person could contradict the chairman and get away with it."She also gets candid about things most leaders don't talk about. Like why she wishes she had done an MBA. Why she has strong opinions about people's physical appearance at work and knows it's a flaw. Why her spiritual guru completely changed her relationship with the one thing she considered her biggest regret in life.She went to a Ferrari racetrack and hit 304 kmph. She believes work-life balance is nonsense and wishes every youngster would realize that life is work and work is life.Listen in for all this and more, including why she thinks India's next 30 years belong to banking, healthcare, and infrastructure. Why retirement at 60 is an outdated concept. And why on a scale of 1 to 10, she rates her happiness at 9 plus.**********This episode was produced by Uddantika Kashyap and mixed and mastered by Rajiv CN.Write to us at fp@the-ken.com with your feedback, suggestions, and guests you would want to see on First Principles.If you enjoyed this episode, please help us spread the word by sharing and gifting it to your friends and family.v

Ambition tends to get a bad rap, particularly in Christian circles. Sometimes, that's for good reason. But sometimes, it's simply because we're missing the point: Scripture doesn't call us to kill ambition but to aim it properly. In this week's message from Romans 15, Pastor Curtis shows us how the gospel shapes ambition and ultimately redeems it. When we are secure in our identity in Christ, we won't be striving for self-worth; we'll be striving from the worth given to us in him.

Message - Pastor Paul I. Kim“Crossing into the Kingdom: Following Jesus Between Now and His Coming” 3“Ambition and Atonement"Matthew 20:17-28
