Putin's Yalta Model: Out-Negotiating Donald Trump. Cliff May, writing for the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, looks at Putin's ambition to out-negotiate Donald Trump by emulating Stalin's success at the 1945 Yalta Conference. Stalin won that round of negotiations against Churchill and Roosevelt, securing Poland and much of Eastern Europe. This outcome was partly facilitated because Roosevelt, who was ill and viewed himself as a mediator, thought he could handle Stalin. The discussion reviews history to see if this model foreshadows future negotiations over Ukraine.

Ask Me How I Know: Multifamily Investor Stories of Struggle to Success
Burnout recovery isn't about doing less—it's about leading from peace. Discover how to hold ambition and contentment together without striving, and why true success begins when your pursuit flows from presence, not pressure.If you've ever wondered whether peace and ambition can coexist—this episode is your answer.In Ambition Without Burnout: The Paradox of Peaceful Pursuit, Julie Holly explores how high-capacity humans can pursue growth without losing the stillness they've fought to find. This conversation reframes the tension between gratitude and desire—not as conflict, but as confirmation that you're evolving.From a psychology lens, this episode unpacks Cognitive Dissonance Theory through an identity-level lens: that internal friction you feel isn't failure—it's feedback. It's your nervous system asking for congruence between who you've become inside and how you're living outside.Philosophically, Julie draws on Stoic wisdom, reminding us that peace isn't the absence of activity—it's the absence of attachment. And inspired by Ryan Holiday's Stillness Is the Key, she reframes stillness as precision, not passivity.Through the story of Anne Mulcahy, the CEO who led Xerox from collapse to resurgence by leading from calm instead of chaos, we see how peace and pursuit don't compete—they complete one another.At the heart of this episode is the soul-level truth that drives Identity-Level Recalibration (ILR):When your identity is anchored, your ambition becomes an act of gratitude. Because you're not striving for worth—you're stewarding what's already been entrusted to you.ILR is not another mindset tactic or productivity hack. It's the root-level recalibration that makes every other tool effective—because it doesn't just change your habits, it changes the who beneath them.Whether you're facing burnout recovery, decision fatigue, or a quiet sense of success without fulfillment, this episode will remind you: You don't have to choose between stillness and expansion. You can pursue without performing. You can build without burning out.Today's Micro Recalibration: The Both/And BreathFind a quiet moment—wherever you are.Take a deep inhale and whisper inwardly, “I am.” Exhale slowly and say, “I'm becoming.”Repeat this ten times.The inhale anchors your identity; the exhale activates your becoming.Because peace and purpose were never meant to compete—they were designed to coexist.If this episode gave you language you've been missing, please rate and review the show so more high-capacity humans can find it.

We love to pretend we’re above jealousy – that successful, self-aware people don’t feel it. But that’s a lie. When bestselling author and Mamamia Out Loud co-host Holly Wainwright found herself wide awake one night, jealous of a close friend’s success, she realised jealousy wasn’t something to outgrow. It was something to pay attention to. Because jealousy doesn’t just make you small. It points to what you secretly want – the thing you’re scared to say out loud. In this episode, Holly and I talk about the strange power of envy: how it can shake your sense of self, clarify your ambitions, and even become the most honest career compass you’ll ever have. Holly and I discuss: The moment Holly recognised jealousy in herself and what it revealed about her buried ambitions. How jealousy can act as a signpost for what you really want – if you’re brave enough to look at it. The difference between ambition and competition, and how one can paralyse while the other propels. Why success metrics constantly shift, and how to define what “doing well” actually means for you. How to stay grounded and generous when envy or comparison start to creep in. The link between gratitude, perspective, and creative freedom. Key Quotes “You’re only jealous of things you really, really want.” “If I focus all the time on what other people are doing, that’s what paralyzes me.” Connect with Holly on Instagram and LinkedIn, listen to Mamamia Out Loud and Mid, and check out her latest book He Would Never here.

Today, on Notable Leaders' Radio, I speak with Kash Rocheleau, CEO of Icon Foods, Inc.. She discusses the importance of mentorship, fostering cultures of ownership and transparency, and explains why real growth occurs when we step outside our comfort zones. In today's episode, we discuss: Recognize the impact of supportive mentors in your life. Seek out people who champion your goals and remind you of your strengths during challenges; even one person who believes in you can turn obstacles into opportunities. Lean into self-reliance but also understand when collaboration is important. Balancing independence with the ability to ask for help allows you to own your journey while benefiting from collective wisdom, a dynamic that improves both personal and professional relationships. Embrace your imperfections as valuable leadership assets. When you let go of perfectionism and openly admit your mistakes, it demonstrates authenticity that naturally builds trust and boosts team morale. Remember, vulnerability can often be your greatest strength. Foster cultures of ownership and transparency wherever you are. Whether as a leader or team member, contributing to an environment where people feel responsible for outcomes creates a sense of pride and belonging that benefits everyone. Reexamine the personal “ceilings” you accept or create in your life. Believe that your potential is not capped by others but by yourself, and seek (or become) the kind of support that encourages ambition, so you always have the permission to grow. RESOURCES: Guest Bio: Kash Rocheleau is the CEO of Icon Foods, a leading supplier of clean-label sweetening systems and functional ingredients for the food and beverage industry. With a background in finance and a deep passion for innovation, Kash brings a unique blend of analytical rigor and creative problem-solving to the world of food science and formulation. Under her leadership, Icon Foods has continued to pioneer sugar reduction strategies using natural sweeteners like allulose, stevia, monk fruit, erythritol, and soluble fibers. Kash is a strong advocate for transparent labeling, functional nutrition, and providing CPG brands with concierge-level support—from custom formulation guidance and particle reduction to full-scale production planning.

Kash is also a regular contributor to thought leadership in clean label trends, gut health innovation, and female-focused wellness solutions in food and beverage.

Iran Trash-Talks Trump; Nuclear Ambitions Become More Overt. Jonathan Sayeh and Bill Roggio discuss how Iran's Supreme Leader publicly rejected Trump's appeals for negotiations, a move primarily aimed at boosting domestic morale following regional setbacks. However, a top nuclear scientist overtly claimed Iran has the capacity to build a nuclear bomb, suggesting weaponization ambitions are becoming less covert. Tehran views its regional position as a lose-lose scenario but uses the Gaza ceasefire as a critical breathing room opportunity to rearm its weakened proxies. 1870 TEHRAN

On Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Yusuf speaks with Kevin Hipes—entrepreneur, Central Florida real estate developer, former elected official, church elder, musician, and author of Book of Me. Kevin traces an undiagnosed decades-long cycle of highs and deep depressions, a midlife collapse, and the pragmatic steps that steadied his life: professional diagnosis, medication under supervision, workload reduction, and structured re-entry to work. He explains why he later (with his doctor) adjusted meds to regain mental sharpness without triggering depressive episodes, and how faith, family accountability, and service to others keep his drive from tipping into mania or burnout. Straight talk on suicidal ideation, returning to work after time off, and using creativity (YouTube storytelling, a memoir, music) as regulated outlets. Clear, useful, and no fluff—this conversation focuses on what actually helps. About the Guest : Kevin Hipes is a business leader and storyteller based in Central Florida. He has managed large retail portfolios, served in public office, fronts the YouTube channel Planet Hipes, released legacy tracks with his band The End on Spotify, and wrote the memoir Book of Me about entrepreneurship, bipolar disorder, faith, and starting over at 60. Key Takeaways: Get a clinical diagnosis early; don't white-knuckle recurring depressions. Work with a psychiatrist and follow medical guidance. Medication is a tool: never start/stop or adjust without a doctor. If side effects blunt performance, discuss supervised adjustments. Reduce overload during recovery: pare roles, step back from public duties, and rebuild capacity in stages with your family looped in. Relapse prevention: even when stable, keep treatment, sleep, and routines tight; don't “feel fine” your way off meds. Return-to-work script: you don't owe your full story—share what's necessary, then execute. Confidence rebuilds through action. Purpose controls intensity: faith, service, and accountability partners can channel high energy into consistent, non-destructive output. Tell your story (writing/video) to integrate experience, reduce shame, and help others. Reframe identity: a condition can be part of your edge when it's treated, monitored, and supported.

2. The Colossal Misjudgment: Underestimating Ukraine and Putin's Imperial Ambitions. Serhii Plokhy (Professor of Ukrainian History at Harvard University) covers the lead-up to the 2022 full-scale invasion, noting Russia's military buildup in 2021 while President Biden publicly stated that no US troops or weapons would be sent to Ukraine, which constituted a "colossal misjudgment of Putin." Despite the lack of meaningful preparatory military aid for Ukraine, US intelligence performed exceptionally well, accurately predicting the timing of the war and releasing this intelligence in real time, hoping to "shame" Putin. The expectation that Kyiv would fall within days reflected a profound misjudgment: underestimating the resolve of the Ukrainian state and people, and overestimating the Russian military's capacity. To justify his actions, Putin built an argument to the Russian people based on a "misreading of history," reviving 19th-century Russian imperial ideas that claimed Russians, Ukrainians, and Belarusians constituted a single whole. This false belief led to the expectation that Ukrainians would welcome Russian troops with flowers, rather than weapons. Putin's consistent goal since 2014 was to stop Ukraine's Western trajectory and integrate it into the Russian-controlled Eurasian Union. When President Zelensky refused Putin's demands regarding the implementation of the Minsk agreements in Paris in December 2019, many observers mark this moment as the countdown to the 2022 invasion.

On this 299th episode of Take Flight Weekly, I want to recognize all of you who are toggling between your life and your business and navigating an industry that never slows down. Will it ever be easy? No. But here's what I know for certain: you've earned the right to want things and achieve things. You've put in the work, you've weathered the storms, and now it's time to claim what's yours: clarity, fulfillment, and a business that is predictable, sustainable, and enjoyable. Over the past year, I've watched many of you wrestle with uncertainty—new compensation models, big industry changes, rising costs, new pressures, heightened expectations. But beneath the stress is something else: proof. Proof that you belong here. Proof that you've earned the right to design a business that rewards your expertise, not your exhaustion. In this episode, I walk you through the hard truths of what you've overcome: Working for months in a 100% commission environment with no financial reward until closing Tending to your family and friends while negotiating deals with stressed clients Rebuilding your systems, protecting your compensation, and staying composed when everyone else is overly emotional Caring for clients at all hours while trying to nurture your own mental and physical health Resisting the constant pull to compare yourself to others You've developed a craft that looks effortless because you've mastered what few ever will. Your value isn't in the transaction—it's in your consistency, your resilience, and your ability to lead with calm during chaos. We have entered a new chapter in this business. The hobbyist era is ending, and that's good news for true professionals. The transactional model is fading. The relationship model is the future. Your clients don't just want service; they want stewardship. They want you. That's why the rest of this year and into 2026 is about right-sizing: simplifying what no longer serves you and doubling down on what does. It's about moving from wide and shallow to narrow and deep. You've earned the right to stop proving yourself and start refining yourself. Here's your challenge this week: Decide what you want next—financially, personally, and relationally. Ambition is not arrogance. Commit to one decision that honors your growth; something that makes your business work for you instead of against you. Acknowledge how far you've come. Write down five moments this year that prove you've earned the right to want things and achieve things. Own them. You don't need permission to want more. You've already earned that right through every late night, every interrupted dinner, and every risk you've taken. Stop apologizing for your ambition. The life and business you want won't happen by luck—it will happen because you finally decide you're worthy of it. Re-listen to this. Make the decision. Claim it. You! Have Earned! The Right! To Want Things! And Achieve Things!
Nehemiah had a great job working as the cupbearer of Artaxerxes, king of Persia. Why did he give it all up to embrace the difficult task of rebuilding Jerusalem's walls?

Normally, we would expect the Left to be the ones questioning the validity of the United States' involvement and conduct in World War II as anything other than a ‘noble cause,' – which it was. As of late, World War II revisionism is happening on our own side, among some conservatives. These revisionists are not focusing on typical, left-leaning talking points like Japanese internment or the dropping of the atomic bombs. Instead, they have chosen to die on some very odd hills: Japan was pressured into attacking Pearl Harbor because of the U.S.' oil embargo, Admiral Yamamoto was a peacenik, and Hitler was sincere when he sued for peace in July 1940 after conquering much of Western Europe. This and more on today's editions of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words:” 00:00 Introduction: Revisiting World War II Decisions 01:00 Conservative Reinterpretations of WWII 02:08 Key Elements and Misconceptions of WWII 04:38 Japan's Aggression and the Pacific War 05:25 Hitler's Ambitions and the Importance of WWII
Alexander's Rise: Genius, Ambition, or Conspiracy? In this insightful episode of the Jeremy Ryan Slate Show, we take a deep dive into the unparalleled legacy of Alexander the Great. Was his meteoric rise to power a testament to his military genius, sheer ambition, or shadowed by conspiracies involving secret teachings and forbidden knowledge? Join us as we critically examine his life, from his turbulent youth and tutelage under Aristotle to his breathtaking conquests across 2 million square miles of territory. Through a unique perspective, we unravel the mysteries of his leadership—his innovative tactics, adoption of foreign cultures, and the whispers of divinity that fueled his self-image. Could hidden alliances or esoteric influences have been the key to his unmatched success? Drawing from sources like Britannica, History.com, and recent archaeological discoveries from 2025, we connect history's dots to weave a narrative that challenges mainstream perspectives.This must-watch episode isn't just about history; it's about the enduring questions that surround Alexander's legacy. From family drama and court intrigue to his controversial death—was it natural or a conspiratorial hit?—there's no shortage of debate. We even explore how modern elites may draw lessons from his divine playbook.As your host, Jeremy Ryan Slate, CEO and co-founder of Command Your Brand, I bring my passion for uncovering the hidden angles of history to this critical examination.

What does it mean to truly “have it all” and why does chasing it often leave us feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or numb?

Plus, discover the real meaning of rest, how to build discipline, and why embracing intentional imbalance might be the secret to happiness. Show Resources and Links: NatalieTysdal.com/Podcast

2025-10-13 | Silicon Wafers 027 | DAILY UPDATES | The cracks are widening in relation to approval for Putin's handling of the war. Internal critics—especially Evgeny Minchenko's circle and Igor Strelkov (Girkin)—have broken their silence in warnings about failure, regime risk, and the unravelling of Russia's imperial project. Here's the roadmap for this episode:1. Setting the strategic context — Where Russia's war and imperial logic came from2. Minchenko, who is he and what is the logic of elite miscalculation3. Strelkov / Girkin's public rupture — critiques, incarceration, and legacy4. Reactions from the Russian establishment, analysts, civil society5. What this means for the Russian regime's futureRussia's Imperial Ambition Encounter Reality - Before we dive into critics inside Russia, it helps to remind ourselves how the war in Ukraine has always rested on several core assumptions — assumptions that are beginning to falter.Vladimir Putin's official narrative often frames the war as a necessity: “denazification,” “special operation,” or on the basis of “historical unity” of Russians and Ukrainians, as laid out in his 2021 essay “On the Historical Unity of Russians and Ukrainians,” Putin argued that Russians, Ukrainians and Belarusians amounted to one people, denying the legitimacy of a Ukrainian national trajectory. (Wikipedia) It was of course a vile aggregation of absurd lies. ----------Partner on this video: KYIV OF MINE Watch the trailer now: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=arJUcE1rxY0'Kyiv of Mine' is a documentary series about Ukraine's beautiful capital, Kyiv. The film production began in 2018, and much has changed since then. It is now 2025, and this story is far from over.https://www.youtube.com/@UCz6UbVKfqutH-N7WXnC5Ykg https://www.kyivofmine.com/#theprojectKyiv of Mine is fast paced, beautifully filmed, humorous, fun, insightful, heartbreaking, moving, hopeful. The very antithesis in fact of a doom-laden and worthy wartime documentary. This is a work that is extraordinarily uplifting. My friend Operator Starsky says the film is “Made with so much love. The film series will make you laugh and cry.” ----------Autumn Harvest: Silicon Curtain (Goal €22,000)This is super important.

Deepseek's AI Claims, Huawei's Chip Ambitions, and US/China Tech Competition Chris Riegel analyzed the escalating tech competition between the US and China, focusing on Chinese AI firm Deepseek and noting its claims of superiority were potentially misleading due to non-transparency and reliance on Nvidia technology. He discussed Huawei's chip fabrication efforts and ambitions, concluding that US sanctions, particularly restricting ASML tools, keep China one to one and a half generations behind. The US scale advantage, exemplified by investments like Colossus, remains significant in the AI competition.
