Award-winning nonfiction writer and former investigative journalist Joe Jackson joins co-hosts Whitney Terrell and V.V. Ganeshananthan to talk about President Trump's “Don-roe Doctrine” and his imperial ambitions in Venezuela, Cuba, Greenland, and beyond. Jackson, the author of a new book, Splendid Liberators: Heroism, Betrayal, Resistance, and The Birth of American Empire, explains how Trump's plan relies on the template set by the Spanish-American War, through which the U.S. rose as a world power and ended Spanish rule in the Western Hemisphere. Jackson sheds light on the rhetoric that fueled the war, as well as the violent history of U.S. military interference in Cuba and the Philippines. Jackson takes us through iterations of the Monroe Doctrine and outlines the impact of that philosophy on Trump's desire for imperial expansion as well as his authoritarian control domestically, in cities like Minneapolis. He discusses how the Spanish-American War served as a turning point for America's soul, including writers of the time, and how it birthed a culture of war that has continued to impact the nation, its citizens, and the world ever since. Jackson reads from Splendid Liberators.To hear the full episode, subscribe through iTunes, Google Play, Stitcher, Spotify, or your favorite podcast app (include the forward slashes when searching).

Presented by Julie Busteed Work can be either overvalued or undervalued. When it is overvalued, it can quietly become an idol—an identity. So how do you keep that in check? What if you genuinely enjoy your job and want to succeed? You have goals—maybe to advance, earn a certain position, or work at a prestigious place. Is that wrong? Is work becoming too important? Has it begun to define your whole life? I believe it comes down to the posture of our hearts. King Solomon, a man who had more success and resources than most could imagine, reflects on this in Ecclesiastes. He writes: I became greater by far than anyone in Jerusalem before me. In all this my wisdom stayed with me. I denied myself nothing my eyes desired; I refused my heart no pleasure. My heart took delight in all my labor, and this was the reward for all my toil. Yet when I surveyed all that my hands had done and what I had toiled to achieve, everything was meaningless, a chasing after the wind; nothing was gained under the sun (Ecclesiastes 2:9-11). This sounds like striving and ambition to me. He was successful and achieved many things. But in the end King Solomon reflects and feels empty. He denied himself nothing yet nothing fulfilled him. He also writes in Psalms 127:1 that unless the Lord builds the house, the builders labor in vain. Ambition and striving are not inherently something to be avoided. But if you are not putting your relationship with God at the center, relying on him, trusting in him, daily walking with him, then it's all in vain. The question is not whether we should work hard or pursue excellence or go after that next promotion, but who we are working for and why. When our work is surrendered to God, it becomes more than striving. It becomes stewardship. We can hold ambition with open hands, trusting that our worth is not found in what we achieve, but in whose we are. As we commit our work to the Lord, he gives it meaning, direction, and lasting purpose—far beyond what we could accomplish on our own. Commit your work to the Lord, and your plans will be established (Proverbs 16:3). I pray you think of your work—whatever it is—as unto the Lord, to be a good steward so others will see his light in your life.

Summary In this episode of the Experience Strategy Podcast, hosts Aransas Savas, Joe Pine, and Dave Norton discuss the burgeoning field of longevity and transformation. They explore the aspirations of individuals seeking to live longer and healthier lives, the shift in healthcare from a reactive to a proactive approach, and the role of social proof in driving transformation. The conversation also touches on the evolution of trust in the age of social media, the changing narrative around aging, and the future accessibility of longevity solutions. Takeaways People aspire to live longer and healthier lives. The healthcare industry is shifting from fixing problems to promoting flourishing. Social proof is becoming increasingly important in the transformation economy. Decentralized trust is shaping how people validate health claims. The placebo effect plays a significant role in perceived health outcomes. Aging is often misunderstood; many peak in their 50s and 60s. The evolution of science and brand is changing customer expectations. Wealthy individuals often drive innovation in health and longevity. The future of longevity solutions may become more accessible over time. Trust in brands is less centralized and more influenced by personal experiences.  Chapters 00:00 Introduction to Transformation and Longevity 03:10 The Ambition of Living Longer and Healthier 05:59 The Shift in Healthcare: From Fixing to Flourishing 09:07 The Role of Social Proof in the Transformation Economy 12:16 The Impact of Personal Research and Influencers 15:13 The Evolution of Science and Brand in Health 18:02 Reframing Aging: Opportunities in the Second Half of Life 21:14 The Future of Longevity and Accessibility Podcast Sponsors: Learn more about Stone Mantel https://www.stonemantel.co Sign up for the Experience Strategist Substack here: https://theexperiencestrategist.substack.com

There has been so much attention paid to the AI boom in the United States and China. Japan has sorta been ignored. Should it be? Japan has in recent years launched a leading edge AI lab, a leading edge semiconductor foundry, and several integrator startups. Over the past week, I had another set of conversations with various companies and people in Tokyo. Mostly, I explored the question: How is the AI boom going in Japan? I recognize that talking to a few people does not a country profile make. But in today's video, a small vibe check on the Japanese AI boom.

Let's unpack a truth most people don't want to admit: the thing you're avoiding is action. When you leave inaction untouched, it does not sit quietly. It grows. It drains you. And it quietly reshapes your life through mental drag, stress, and procrastination. Unaddressed conversations don't sit still. Ignored decisions don't pause. Delayed action doesn't disappear. It compounds. It leaks energy, creates anxiety, and slowly trains your nervous system to stay stuck. In this episode, Troy introduces the Bison Theory, a counterintuitive truth rooted in real behavior: while most animals run away from storms and stay trapped in them longer, bison run straight into the storm, shortening how long they suffer. This episode isn't about hype or grit for grit's sake. It's about why facing the thing you're avoiding is the fastest path to transformation, and how movement, not certainty, is what breaks the loop. If you've felt the weight of indecision, the drag of unfinished business, or the mental exhaustion of too many open loops, this conversation will feel uncomfortably familiar in the best way.This Episode Covers:Why avoidance is active, not neutral, and how it quietly compounds stressHow “direction determines duration” when it comes to pain and changeWhy facing the storm creates momentum even before clarity shows upHow anticipation of pain often hurts longer than the pain itselfThe real reason action restores energy faster than motivation ever willHow to stop negotiating with reality and start reclaiming agencyWhy transformation begins the moment you turn toward what you've been running fromBeyond The Episode Gems:Subscribe To My New Weekly LinkedIn Newsletter: Strategize.

Send us a textWhat we crave shapes who we become.In this episode of the Midweek Motivation Podcast, Jess and Caleb explore a question many Christians wrestle with but rarely say out loud: Is ambition a sin? Where's the line between healthy, God-given drive and cravings that slowly pull our hearts off course?This conversation builds on the idea that our hearts are always hungry for something—and only when our cravings are filtered through Jesus do they lead to lasting fulfillment instead of burnout, pride, or distraction.In this episode, you'll discover:Why ambition itself isn't sinful—and how intention changes everythingThe difference between Godly cravings and worldly cravingsHow to filter ambition so it fuels purpose instead of pressureWhy conviction is protection and repentance is redirectionHow community helps keep our hunger aimed in the right directionPractical ways to pursue impact without losing sight of JesusIf you've ever felt driven… but unsure if what you're chasing is actually satisfying, this episode will help realign your heart toward the King who truly satisfies.Westside is a place made up of real people from all walks of life.

Dans cet épisode, je reçois Agathe Lecaron.Agathe grandit dans une famille d'origine aristocrate et traverse une enfance marquée par sentiment de solitude.Dans cet univers, la télévision devient très tôt une fenêtre sur le monde, une source de lumière et de joie — presque une promesse.C'est par la radio, en Belgique, qu'elle fait ses premiers pas dans l'univers des médias.La radio qu'elle adore et qui est une école de la voix, de l'écoute, du rythme.À son retour en France, elle poursuit sa trajectoire d'animatrice sur le petit écran mais trouver sa place, assumer sa singularité sans se travestir, comprendre les codes n'est pas une évidence : Agathe construit son chemin à contre-courant, en développant peu à peu une conscience aiguë des enjeux liés aux femmes, à leur visibilité, à leur parole.Cette conscience prend toute son ampleur avec La Maison des Maternelles, émission emblématique qu'elle anime pendant neuf ans.Un espace rare, où la maternité se raconte sans filtre, où les injonctions sont questionnées, où les récits intimes deviennent politiques.Agathe parle aussi avec une grande lucidité de son rapport au corps, à la santé, à l'angoisse — cette hypocondrie qu'elle explore dans Patiente Zéro (éditions Robert Laffont), avec humour et profondeur.Nous évoquons le temps qui passe, le cap des 50 ans, le regard que l'on porte sur soi quand les rôles changent, quand l'image publique évolue. La bonne nouvelle c'est qu'Agathe ne s'est jamais sentie aussi belle et bien à 52 ans qu'avant dans sa vie !Vous aurez peut être compris le jeu de mots très facile certes puisque Bel & Bien c'est cette nouvelle aventure depuis la rentrée qu'elle mène comme une continuité naturelle : celle de la santé et du soin.Un échange sincère, sensible, profondément humain, où il est question d'identité, de courage et de vérité intérieure.Belle écoute !NOTES DE L'ÉPISODE:Le podcast vous plaît ?Prenez 30 secondes pour le noter 5 étoiles sur Apple podcast ou Itunes, et commentez si vous le souhaitez, c'est très précieux pour moi !

The American Revolution wasn't just a colonial rebellion; it was a global conflict shaped by European rivalries and high-stakes diplomacy. Without the help of foreign allies like France and Spain, the United States might never have won its independence. Historian John Ferling joins us to explore the international dimensions of the Revolutionary War. Drawing from his new book Shots Heard Round the World, Ferling reveals how secret aid, political gambles, and naval power from Europe (especially France) influenced the outcome of the war, and nearly derailed it.

Javah pulls up and him + Nelson get into the kind of dating talk that makes people argue in the comments: standards, ambition, and why “I don't hang with you anymore” usually translates to you've got no motion (plus the difference between being supportive vs. carrying dead weight).

The key to pursuing happiness is living an intentional life. What do I want to achieve? What do I oppose?Steve is an adjunct professor at Emory University and the Founding Director of the Alabama Civil Liberties Union. His new memoir, out today, is What's In a Family Name: A Southern Family History Becomes a Gothic Mystery. Here's the description:When Steve Suitts undertakes a family research project he uncovers a real-life, true crime, southern Gothic mystery. Ambition, sex, lies, and betrayal. And it all takes place in the Free State of Winston in north Alabama.And here is the book trailer I put together for Steve:You can buy the book here at Bookshop.org and here on Amazon. Steve's website is here.In this conversation Steve and I talk:* The moment Steve realized he had a book* Giving a speech opposing the Ku Klux Klan as a high school student* Reclaiming history* The story of James Monroe Blackwell, Steve's great-great-grandfather, who opposed the Confederacy during the Civil War* His research and writing processHere is an AI generated transcript. Don't come for me.Here is the cleaned and corrected transcript. I have fixed the formatting, corrected the phonetic misinterpretations (like “Free State” instead of “three state” and “progeny” instead of “GY”), and smoothed out the stuttering for readability.Transcript: Interview with Steve SuittsBEN: So Steve, your memoir, What's in a Family Name? A Southern Family History Becomes a Gothic Mystery, comes out today, Tuesday, January 27th. How are you feeling?STEVE: I'm feeling like someone who's waiting to hear what their neighbor's baby is gonna be called.BEN: At what point did you realize this story would make a good book?STEVE: I think the inkling of it was when I discovered that not only was my grandmother's version of my family history on my father's side a fiction, but that it didn't even begin to tell the story. And that point was when I discovered that the person I thought was my grandfather could not biologically be my grandfather, since my father was born at least a year and a half after his death.BEN: The evidence strongly suggests your biological grandfather was actually B.H. Drake, a prominent, wealthy merchant in Winston County. That's right. Why do you think the Drake family and the community worked so hard to erase Anna, your grandmother, and her son, your father, from the official record after B.H. married Anna?STEVE: This is all speculation, but I think there were probably two reasons. The first was simply a matter of embarrassment. Here was a man who was a representative of the local Baptist church at the State Baptist Convention. He gave the land on which the local Baptist church was built. His family was very deeply involved in the Baptist Church, and I think the evidence is that he probably began his affair with my grandmother before he was actually divorced from his first wife. So I think there was a real embarrassment about that in a small-town community.The second is, of course, that he died, and as a wealthy man. By law, she should have been one of the heirs of his estate, because at the time of his death, all evidence points to the fact that they were still married—although they may have, by that time, returned to his first wife's estate. So I think that there was this financial interest, that they would want to keep it quiet.I don't think there was a great deal of complicity on the part of the broader community, but it was just something that happened. And in the community, I think like most small towns, these things did happen and most small towns knew about it, but simply let it play out on its own terms.BEN: You devote part of the book to your great-great-grandfather, James Monroe Blackwell, who was a “scalawag,” or Southerner loyal to the Union. You mentioned that he was threatened with hanging for supporting Lincoln. He named his son after President Lincoln, and this is during the time of the Civil War. Why does his story resonate so much with you?STEVE: When I was in high school in Florence, Alabama, on the Tennessee River, I was a member of the student council, got elected, and I was asked at various times to give speeches at assemblies of the school. One of the speeches I gave was during 1964 or ‘65, and it was essentially an attack on the Klan—the Ku Klux Klan.I don't remember the entire speech, but I do remember saying that the Klan had to understand that Halloween came only once a year, and even then, when you wore a mask, you were not allowed to harm people anonymously. And that the Klan was a group who masqueraded without any courage of showing themselves to the public.I also remember that my teachers on that day kept me late at school. For some reason I did not understand until later in life, one of them drove me home that day rather than letting me walk by myself.So I came to those views for a variety of reasons. But when I discovered that I had an ancestor who not only supported the Union during the war over slavery, but who also supported the reconstruction of the South on the terms that the Congress established in the aftermath of the Civil War... I realized that I wasn't the first in my family to believe in the kind of equal treatment under the law that I was espousing as a high school student.And later, going on to work with the American Civil Liberties Union affiliate in Alabama—where we did more litigation relating to equal treatment under the law as we did the First Amendment—it was a moment in which I realized that whatever bloodlines do in this world for families, I wasn't the first. And Lord have mercy, I hope I'm not the last.BEN: When you were young, did you hear stories about James Monroe Blackwell, or did you only discover this history later?STEVE: I discovered this history later. No one talked about it. My great uncle—my grandmother's brother—Uncle Wesley, used to talk about why we were Republicans in the family, but he never talked about James Monroe Blackwell. No one did. Not even my grandmother, who I think probably had mixed up fact and fiction so much by the time she told me the story about our family history that she might have put him on the wrong side of the Civil War, after all.BEN: At the end of the book, you write about the idea of reclaiming history—both with Blackwell and with your grandmother and the Drake family, your great-grandmother, and the decisions that she made to protect her family. Can you talk about that motivation of reclaiming history and what that means to you?STEVE: Yeah. I think we all are trying to find our place in the world, but the Faulkner concept that the past is not really the past essentially means that, in finding our place in the world, we also have to know who we were in our past, where our family fit in, where we came from. It's a very Southern notion, but I think it's a universal one as well.Reclaiming the history, I think, means that we're trying to understand where we came from and, by that measure, where we're going in our lives. One of the things the book jacket says is that this is a story that no family wanted to remember, and a family too proud of its history would always want to forget.And I think for me, reclaiming history is a matter of not trying to reconstruct it or trying to hide it. It's trying to simply say: this is where my family has been, this is who we have been. And it doesn't predict who I'm going to be and what I'm going to be, but it gives me a way in which to frame who I am and how I'm gonna go forward.And for those who read the book, you won't be surprised to realize that I have tried very hard in my life to not be the person my father was. I've made a very deliberate and very conscientious effort. Whether I've succeeded or not, only my sons and descendants will be able to say, but that's part of reclaiming your history. Look at the word: his-story. That's what history is. And part of that history is you at that moment, and you can either continue that history or you can break with it.BEN: But I'll note... how much do you think people are shaped by their environment, by their family history? And I ask because I think you're an example of someone who grew up in a conservative political environment. Like you said, one of the teachers had to drive you home after giving your Ku Klux Klan Halloween speech. Personally, as you write about in the introduction, your father was at best difficult—I think accurately described as abusive. And yet you... I don't know if “rejected” is the right word, but you are a different person than those two different environments would most likely produce.STEVE: I think the key to the pursuit of happiness—as our Declaration of Independence says—in my judgment, is enabled only by having an intentional life. A life in which you say: Why am I here? What do I want to achieve? What do I want to oppose? What do I want to support? Simply have a sense of intent about how you frame your life.Now, obviously, everybody knows that we have to earn a living. Sometimes the jobs we get aren't always the jobs we may have wanted earlier in life. It may be difficult, may have other problems. But generally, it is one where you have to simply live an intentional life, trying to have goals—whether the goals drive out of your reading of the Bible, or whether they're from great philosophers, or simply out of the sense of what you think is right and wrong.And I think the discussion about nurture and nature is one that will continue to be unresolved. In that competition between which is more important, your lineage or your environment, there is, I think, something which some religious teachings call free will. Perhaps it's not as free as some might think, but you have choices to make.When I was reading the first Harry Potter books with my family—the boys were small and they were devouring those books—I was reading along. And the school superintendent, Dumbledore, makes a statement to Harry Potter in which he says, essentially: “Harry, we are the choices we make.” And at that point I said out loud, “Yeah!” And of course, the boys thought I was talking about who had won the Quidditch match in the book.But therein lies, I think, my sense of what it's all about. You make choices. And while those choices may inhibit others and they may open up others, you are those choices, and you need to make them with an intent of what you want your life to be. So that's my view.BEN: What was the process of writing this book like?STEVE: I did most of the research before I even began putting anything down on paper. That's not usually the way I write books. I usually have a lot of research already done, but you still have to go back in and answer questions as the writing process occurs. In this case, all of the research was virtually done before I started writing. So it really was a more reflective process than a fact-finding process for me.I have a friend, Jack Drake, who's a great civil rights lawyer and now retired, who has a memoir coming out that's gonna be a very important one about somebody who grew up as a white Southern boy dealing with the issues of race in the Deep South. Jack says he thinks the best way to figure something out is to write about it. And there's a lot of truth in that, if you're writing honestly.And I think in this case, the writing process finally brought home both the sense of villainy that's in the story I tell, and also some sense of pride in the honesty and the good character of people who are also members of my family, whose surname I carry and whose progeny I am.BEN: So the book comes out today. Where can people buy it and where can people find more information about you?STEVE: The book is available at any of the major online booksellers. You can go to Bookshop, which is an online store for independent bookstores, but Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Books-A-Million, or whatever online bookseller is out there.It hopefully is at a price that you can afford. It's a book that I think everyone, hopefully, will be able to read and prompt their own interest in their own family history.BEN: And if people want to keep up with you and learn more about you, where can they find you?STEVE: I now have a website and it is aptly called SteveSuitts.com. That's S-T-E-V-E-S-U-I-T-T-S dot com.BEN: The book is What's in a Family Name? A Southern Family History Becomes a Gothic Mystery. Comes out today, available everywhere. That's a fantastic book. I encourage you to get it and urge you to visit Steve's website and keep up with what he's doing. Including... Steve, are you working on another book?STEVE: I am. Actually, the next book is also going to be set in Winston County, Alabama—the Free State. And it's going to be about the history of the county, race relations, and centered especially on a single Black school that operated for more than 40 years in Haleyville in a one-room church chapel. I look forward to finishing it and then moving on to the second volume of my trilogy of Justice Hugo Black of Alabama. This is a public episode.

  Guest: Randell Holmes, Jr., college student/athlete at Texas A&M University, author of Daily Devotional for Teen Boys   As a young man, Randell found his identity in football…but in college, something changed. To be honest, what changed was Randell himself. God truly got a hold of Randell's heart, his life, his passion and his trajectory in life changed forever! Randell went from a “football player” to a young man passionately pursuing a relationship with the Lord.   Great reminder from Randell that walking with Jesus is a relationship…and for a relationship to grow and mature, it takes intentionality - time, energy, focus. If you want to get closer to God, get in the Word, spend time in prayer, and find an older, more mature Christian man to disciple you. Some guys don't want to “get closer” to God - they are fine with “distance” because then they control the relationship - but that's like having a Ferrari and driving it in first gear - it's time to shift and accelerate that relationship!   What's next for Randell - well, he's off to an incredible place called Campus by the Sea, a Christian camp on Catalina Island in sunny California! Join me in praying for Randell and this incredible opportunity to impact the lives of others! And don't forget to come back next week for the incredible continuation of our conversation with Randell.   Randell's book is part of a 3-part series that covers young men from youth through college: Devotions for Preteen Boys by Randell Holmes, Jr. and Chandler Fletcher Daily Devotionals for Teen Boys (ages 14-16) by Randell Holmes, Jr. Daily Devotionals for College Men by Brett Trefren T4M guys - just a reminder that Training4Manhood is a non-profit, 501(c)(3) ministry and you can make donations either via Zelle (info@training4manhood.com) or by visiting the Training4Manhood website.

Épisode 1423 : BeReal fait la cour aux marques et aux créateursBeReal continue de défendre une promesse très différente des géants du social. Là où Instagram et TikTok valorisent l'esthétique et l'optimisation algorithmique, BeReal joue la carte du “moment brut”. Instantanéité. Transparence. Une mécanique qui vise l'engagement plutôt que la mise en scène.40 millions d'utilisateurs actifs mensuels dans le monde. Environ 5 millions en France. Une audience à 70% Gen Z (18-27 ans).Mais le tableau n'est pas parfait. Entre 2023 et 2025, BeReal aurait perdu 30 millions d'utilisateurs. En 2026, BeReal contre attaque et sort une opération séduction sur mesure poru les créateurs et des marques.—Be Real propose un programme créateurs ambitieuxLe programme créateurs a été lancé en septembre 2025. Il est devenu le pilier de la relance en France. BeReal annonce déjà plus de 300 créateurs actifs sur le territoire, et plus de 1 000 à l'international. Ambition : atteindre 1 000 créateurs en France d'ici fin 2026.Inoxtag est sur BeRealBeReal a publié un communiqué annonçant l'arrivée d'Inoxtag, en expliquant qu'il rejoint les créateurs déjà présents dans le programme créateurs (Djilsi, Maxime Biaggi, Noholito, etc.).Inoxtag lui‑même explique qu'il compte poster “tous les jours, en mode naturel, sans make up”, discours parfaitement aligné avec la narrative officielle BeReal. Publiquement aucun deal financier a été annoncé, mais nul doit qu'Inoxtag constitue une vitrine parfaite pour la plateforme.-D'une manière plus général, la plateforme recrute des créateurs. Mais surtout, des créateurs capables d'adopter les codes BeReal. Pas de copier-coller TikTok. Pas de “repack” Instagram.Le deal implicite : moins de production, plus d'engagementBeReal vend aux créateurs une promesse chiffrée : un engagement 5 fois supérieur à celui observé sur d'autres plateformes. Dans une logique de fatigue algorithmique, c'est un argument massif.Pour un créateur, l'intérêt est triple.Côté marques, BeReal muscle son jeu sur le publicitaireDe zéro revenu à une régie structuréeAvant le rachat par Voodoo, BeReal perdait 3 M€ par mois et ne générait pas de revenus. L'été 2024 marque le lancement d'une régie publicitaire. En 18 mois, plus de 300 marques seraient montées à bord.Les revenus publicitaires progresseraient de +30% par trimestre, principalement sur trois marchés : France, États-Unis, Japon. Le Japon est décrit comme un chantier clé, avec une base utilisateurs multipliée par 10 en un an.Des formats conçus pour rester “natifs”—L'opportunité d'une prise de parole organique sur BeReal pour les marquesPoru que ça marche vraiment, la marque doit accepter de montrer ce qu'elle cache d'habitude.Coulisses.

FILE 3. THE MOLOTOV-RIBBENTROP PACT AND TERRITORIAL AMBITION. GUEST AUTHOR SEAN MCMEEKIN. McMeekin explains that the 1939 appointment of Molotov signaled Stalin's shift toward collaboration with Hitler, leading to the Moscow Pact. Stalin used this alliance opportunistically to reclaim imperial Russian territories in Poland, Finland, and the Baltics, while British leadership, including Churchill, largely accepted these aggressive moves as a necessary buffer against Germany,.1943 TEHRAN

We break down the Knicks' historic 54-point demolition of the Nets and look ahead to Philly while exploring why an NBA Finals contender is losing to the Mavs at home. Jerry's back with Bo Bichette's World Series ambitions, David Stearns' aggressive winning strategy, and that infamous Bills press conference. Plus, we investigate a wild theory about an electrical substation affecting the 49ers' health, the latest on the impending snowstorm, and a caller's question about the disappearance of sperm bank commercials.

Joe Polish and Dan Sullivan kick off the new year with a powerful conversation on time, ambition, and how Entrepreneurs can stay calm, focused, and fulfilled in a rapidly changing world LIVE. From creating a "great yesterday" to redefining ambition, connection, and progress, this episode delivers practical wisdom for building a better business—and a better life. Here's a glance at what you'll discover in this episode: The unexpected question Dan asks people that immediately changes how they think about their future, their health, and what actually matters. A subtle shift in how Dan thinks about time which he says is helping him stay present and surprisingly calm, even as everything accelerates. Why Dan believes most people misunderstand chaos, and how accepting a few uncomfortable truths can actually be stabilizing. How AI changes what it means to think well, and why being human may become more valuable, not less. A different way to think about ambition that challenges the idea that you eventually "run out of gas." A single question that can interrupt overwhelm and open up options you weren't seeing before. Why pain explains more human behavior than motivation, discipline, or willpower ever will. Dan's personal definition of a well-lived life and why progress, contribution, and self-acceptance all matter. Why we chose to do this conversation live and interactive instead of tightly produced and polished.

SEGMENT 9: GREENLAND STRATEGY AND ARCTIC AMBITIONS Guest: Mary Kissel (Former Senior Adviser to Secretary Pompeo) Kissel offers insider perspective on Trump's renewed push for Greenland, drawing on her State Department experience. Discussion examines the strategic rationale behind the proposal, Arctic security concerns, Danish and European reactions, and whether this represents serious policy or negotiating leverage for broader geopolitical objectives.

Is Greenland our next Alaska? Interior Secretary Doug Burgum joins the Rundown to explain why President Trump is eyeing the Danish territory as an essential "bookend" for North American security. He explains parallels to the purchase of Alaska and how the Arctic could be becoming the next major battleground for global powers like Russia and China. A high-stakes showdown at the Supreme Court is pitting the White House against the Federal Reserve. Fed Governor Lisa Cook is fighting to keep her seat, asking the High Court to block the Trump administration's efforts to remove her following allegations of mortgage fraud. This comes as President Trump renews criticism of the Federal Reserve and pushes to reshape its leadership ahead of a new chair appointment later this year. FOX Business correspondent Lydia Hu joins the Rundown to break down the legal battle and how it could redefine Fed independence forever. Hu also discusses the legal challenges to President Trump's tariff authority. Plus, commentary by FOX News contributor Joe Concha. Learn more about your ad choices.

Dating in 2026 can feel… bleak. Everyone is analyzing “red flags,” burned out on dating apps, and building emotional walls to stay safe out there. Sound relatable? In this episode of Ambition 2.0, Amanda Goetz sits down with relationship expert Amy Chan—founder of Renew Breakup Bootcamp, bestselling author of Breakup Bootcamp, and author of the upcoming book Unsingle: How to Date Smarter and Create Love That Lasts—to talk about what's actually going wrong in modern dating (especially for ambitious women) and how to date smarter. Amy breaks down why high-achieving women can accidentally bring “CEO energy” into their love lives—turning dating into a project, over-functioning, and doing 90% of the work. You'll learn how to stop over-giving, create space so someone can actually show you who they are, and why it's not your job to coach someone out of their insecurity.  Plus, Amy shares her “dating funnel” framework (lead generation → evaluation → commitment) and the underrated stage most people skip: the evaluation phase (a.k.a.: dates 3–20, where character is revealed). If you're dating right now—or you want a smarter path to partnership—this episode is for you. You'll learn:  Why modern dating feels broken—and how hyper-fixating on red flags is actually blocking connection How “CEO energy” can sabotage dating and what to do instead Why it's not your job to fix or coach a partner out of insecurity What emotional wealth really means (and why it matters more than money) Amy's “dating funnel” framework and why dates 3–20 are crucial How “ick culture” keeps people single How to reopen your heart if dating has made you guarded, burned out, or distrustful  00:00 Intro 03:22 Women's standards are rising—and “survival coupling” is over 05:04 What is the “CEO energy” problem? 07:26 How to leave space and let them show who they are 10:12 Emotional wealth > financial flex: what men can do differently now 14:50 Amy's dating funnel framework 21:08 The internet's worst dating advice GUEST LINKS Instagram:  www.instagram.com/missamychan TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@missamychan Read Breakup Bootcamp: https://bookshop.org/a/116169/9780062914743  Pre-order Unsingle: https://bookshop.org/a/116169/9781419779848  www.renewbreakupbootcamp.com  www.missamychan.com www.hearthackersclub.com  FOLLOW THE PODCAST IG: https://www.instagram.com/girlboss/ | TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@girlboss  Amanda Goetz: https://www.instagram.com/theamandagoetz/  https://girlboss.com/pages/ambition-2-0-podcast  SIGN UP Subscribe to the Girlboss Daily newsletter: https://newsletter.girlboss.com/  For all other Girlboss links: https://linkin.bio/girlboss/  ABOUT AMBITION 2.0Powered by Girlboss, Ambition 2.0 is a podcast where we'll be exploring what it really means to “have it all” in work, family, identity, and self… and if it's actually worth it.

From the BBC World Service: It's day two of the annual World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, where President Donald Trump's goal of acquiring Greenland continues to preoccupy European leaders, as he attempts to project military and economic power over NATO allies. The president of the European Commission described fresh tariffs as a "mistake" and warned the response would be "unflinching." Also on this morning's program: a look at tourism in Japan and ghosting in the job market.

Gaius and Germanicus convene in winter Londinium to debate the American Emperor Trump's bold proposal to purchase Greenland from Denmark, framing this ambition not as mere resource acquisition but as a demonstration of imperial authority in the manner of ancient conquerors. Germanicus argues that NATO's opposition to the scheme reveals deep fractures within the alliance, fractures the Emperor exploits through tariffs and economic coercion to enforce obedience among vassal states. The strategic calculus centers on the "GIUK gap"—the naval chokepoint between Greenland, Iceland, and the United Kingdom—and the opening Arctic passages as polar ice recedes and Chineseambitions expand northward, circumstances they compare to World War II-era occupations designed to protect the Western Hemisphere from hostile powers. Germanicus posits that purchasing Greenland serves primarily as ritualistic display, for the Empire cannot presently risk actual war with major rivals like China or Russia, and must therefore project dominance through economic might and symbolic victories. The debaters conclude that while Denmark publicly resists, a face-saving "condominium arrangement" represents the most likely resolution, permitting the United States to maintain its status as dominant world power through the instruments of economic pressure and theatrical triumph rather than the spilling of legionary blood.1899 GREENLAND
