Podcasts about Approval

Hey friends, Chase here This episode is short and honest: if you don't love the work you're making, don't ship it — or better yet, figure out how to love the work before you ship it. I know that sounds blunt, but the market — and more importantly, your audience — can smell half-hearted work a mile away. You can't fake the stuff that matters. Loving the work isn't about perfection. It's about clarity, curiosity, and being willing to do the uncomfortable thing: choose a direction, commit to it, and then grind the craft until you actually love the result. That's the difference between noise and meaning. Here's the core idea: If you're not excited to promote what you made, you probably didn't make what you love. Shipping is great — but shipping love is better. Two common traps I see: Approval chasing: You try to design for everyone and end up designing for no one. Activity without affection: You're busy making lots of stuff, but it never lights you up. That work will struggle to find real fans. So what do you do about it? Make the work you can't not make — and build a tiny system to ship it. In today's episode I cover: Why loving what you make makes promotion natural instead of gross Three practical moves to fall back in love with your craft: pick one obsessive idea, do the research that excites you, and iterate publicly How to find the small group (10–50 people) who will sustain you — and why that's all you really need A quick playbook to ship work you love: Choose one thing: narrow the focus until you feel a pull, not a push. Make it daily: small consistent steps beat sporadic heroics. Share early: get feedback from the right 10 people, not the loud crowd. Listen, then iterate: love grows when you respond to the craft (not the vanity metrics). If you want to make a living doing what lights you up, stop designing for a mythical "everyone." Build for the people who get it — and love the work enough to tell others. Thanks for listening. Tag me with what you're shipping next — I read as many replies as I can. And remember: ship less stuff, but love the stuff you ship.

Bitcoin enters a historic new era as U.S. regulators officially approve banks to act as crypto intermediaries, allowing them to custody digital assets and process blockchain transactions, an institutional green light that could fundamentally reshape the market. At the same time, traders are watching Bitcoin and Ethereum climb on rising Fed rate-cut expectations, while Washington advances a major crypto market-structure bill and the SEC signals a sweeping overhaul to “future-proof” digital-asset regulation. Globally, Argentina has now authorized domestic banks to offer crypto services, and Binance expands its regulated offerings as volatility builds ahead of the FOMC.

In this episode, Dr. Killeen shares a powerful and unexpected story about G. Dep, a rapper who carried the weight of a single decision for nearly two decades—and what happened when he finally chose honesty over comfort. The conversation isn't about crime or punishment, but about the quiet stress that comes from living out of alignment with yourself. Dr. Killeen reflects on why sometimes it's okay to disappoint others if the alternative is disappointing yourself, and how unresolved inner conflict can quietly drain your energy at work and at home.

I know how this feels... if you felt like you've been giving and giving and giving, and you feel like you're getting taken advantage of. That's how I felt most of my life." - Lewis HowesLewis gets raw about something most successful people won't admit: he spent decades as a people-pleaser. Not just a few years, but most of his life saying YES when he wanted to say NO, overextending himself to be liked, to be loved, to feel like he mattered. He built his entire business that way at first, saying yes to everyone for years because he had nothing—no career, no money, no network. But then the pattern continued long after it stopped serving him. He kept fracturing himself psychologically, emotionally, physically by living out of alignment with who he really was. The person everyone could count on wasn't the real Lewis—it was the version weakened by the desperate need for approval.What changed everything was understanding that self-respect has to come first, before anyone else can truly respect you. Lewis walks through exactly how to start taking your power back, even when it terrifies you. He's honest about what happens when you finally start saying NO—some people will manipulate you, guilt trip you, tell you that you've changed and you're not the friend they could count on. And he'll tell you not to buy into it. Because when you're constantly discounting yourself for others, you're living a lie. You're killing the strongest version of yourself to keep feeding the weakest. This isn't about becoming cold or selfish. It's about learning to communicate boundaries with kindness while refusing to sacrifice your energy and integrity. Lewis knows the fear in your stomach when you think about saying no to someone. He's lived it. But he also knows the monumental shift that happens when you finally own your NO and step into the power you've been giving away.Sign up for the Greatness newsletter: http://www.greatness.com/newsletter Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

You Don't Earn Being a Good Man: Reclaiming the Identity You Were Born With Authentic Men's Group (AMG) Podcast Blog Every man wonders quietly, "Am I actually a good man?" Most men won't say it out loud—but the question sits underneath their decisions, their relationships, their mistakes, and the way they carry themselves through life. For many, goodness feels fragile… like one wrong move can erase everything. Like your identity is something you perform into rather than something true about you. Most of us grew up earning approval, not building identity. This episode is about reclaiming the deeper truth already in you. It's about remembering something you were born with—not something you have to earn, prove, or achieve. The Good Man Statue: The Identity Beneath the Dirt Every man carries a statue inside him—the Good Man Statue. It's who he was long before he learned to toughen up, hide emotions, pretend he didn't need help, or perform to be accepted. It's the part of him that's strong, grounded, steady, and whole. It's the part that wants to love well, lead well, and live with integrity. But life has a way of throwing dirt on that statue. A mistake at 17 A failure at 25 A moment in marriage where you hurt someone you love Childhood messages that taught you you're only good when you behave Shame that stuck before you even understood the word Little by little, the statue gets covered. And at some point, you stop seeing it at all. You start believing the dirt is you. You start thinking, "Maybe I'm just not a good man." That's the lie almost every man in AMG has carried at some point. But here's the truth most men never hear: The dirt never replaces the statue—it only hides it. Your goodness doesn't disappear when you mess up. It doesn't get revoked when you fall short. It doesn't crumble when someone is disappointed in you. The Good Man Statue is still there, carved into the core of who you are. When a man believes he's broken or bad, he behaves like a man trying to outrun shame. When he remembers the statue underneath, he moves with presence and strength again. The work isn't becoming good. The work is brushing off the dirt. Every honest conversation… Every moment of accountability… Every time you say the hard thing out loud… Every moment another man says, "You're not alone"… Every time you offer yourself compassion instead of punishment… It clears a little more dirt. That's why AMG exists. Identity gets restored in circles—not isolation. And once a man sees the statue again, even for a moment, he shows up differently: For himself. For his partner. For his kids. For his community. He leads from identity—not insecurity. This is the identity work every man is hungry for: "I don't earn goodness. I remember it." SECTION 1 — What "Being a Good Man" Brings Up for Most Men For many men, the phrase "being a good man" triggers: Pressure — like being graded or silently measured Fear of messing up and losing your identity Feeling good only when you're achieving or productive Old messages: "Don't disappoint anyone" Shame that rewrites your story in seconds Humor that's not really humor: "If being a good man was a class, I'd be repeating it." Memories of trying to perform your way into worthiness Most men have learned to tie goodness to behavior—not identity. Which is why the Good Man Statue metaphor hits so deeply. SECTION 2 — Why Men Don't Believe They're Good Men Most men don't struggle with behavior as much as they struggle with identity. Here's why: 1. Childhood Scripts Be good. Be strong. Don't mess up. Approval was tied to obedience, not authenticity. Goodness felt conditional from day one. 2. Shame From Old Mistakes Men carry mistakes like permanent labels. Shame doesn't stick to behavior—it sticks to identity. 3. Performance-Based Worth Men are taught: "I am what I produce." Which means when performance drops, identity collapses. 4. Lack of Affirmation Most men have never heard: "You're solid. I see the good in you." Without strong mirrors, insecurity grows. 5. Comparison & Internal Criticism "You're behind." "You should be further along by now." Comparison erodes identity faster than failure. 6. Isolation Men rarely have spaces to be honest. Silence becomes the loudest critic. In every AMG group, men eventually say the same thing: "I thought I was the only one who felt this." Insight Men often lose identity faster than they lose self-control. Most issues aren't about discipline—they're about worth. Who Gets to Decide If You're a Good Man? This question sits at the center of most men's inner battles: "Who gets to decide if I'm a good man?" Most men assume the verdict belongs to: Their partner Their dad Their boss Their pastor Their ex Their mistakes Their success or failure When others hold the measuring stick, identity becomes unstable. You live reactive, defensive, and afraid of being "found out." **Here's the truth: No one else gets to declare whether you are a good man.** Others can reflect your goodness— But they can't define it. If your identity depends on external approval, it becomes rented, not rooted. And rented identity collapses the moment someone is disappointed in you. Grounded men don't outsource their identity. Healthy identity sounds like this: I listen to feedback. I take responsibility when I cause harm. I repair where needed. But I don't hand someone else the authority to define who I am. There's a difference between: Accountability: "I can own where I messed up." Identity: "My mistake is who I am." Other people's disappointment is not the authority on your goodness. Your goodness is already built into the Good Man Statue—solid and unshakeable. When a man reclaims his identity: Defensiveness softens Presence increases Integrity strengthens Courage grows Relationships feel safer Leadership becomes more grounded He stops trying to prove goodness and starts embodying it. The Final Truth: You Decide You decide if you are a good man. Not by earning it. But by returning to what's already true. Goodness isn't a vote. It's not a scoreboard. It's not something that can be taken away. Goodness is a state of being — a statue you were born with. Your work is simply to uncover what's already there. And that's the work we do, together, in AMG.

In this episode of the Step Up Podcast, Pastor Chris Kouba and host Josh Thomas tackle the tension every man feels between the fear of God and the fear of man. Starting with Halloween, haunted houses, spiders, and flying cockroaches, they move into a deeper conversation about why not all fear is bad—and how a healthy fear can actually lead to courage, wisdom, and confidence, while unhealthy fear keeps you paralyzed.Looking at the story of Joshua and Caleb and the ten spies in Numbers 13, Pastor Chris contrasts people-pleasing, image-management, and comfort-seeking with a life anchored in conviction and the fear of the Lord. From work integrity, to pornography, to dads holding the line on phones, budgets, and boundaries at home, this episode invites men to step out of people-pleasing and into the freedom of living before an audience of One.If you've ever felt muted, stuck, or scared of what others will think, this conversation will help you name your fears, take one obedient next step, and model courageous conviction for your kids and the people you lead. To find out more about Pastor Chris, follow him on all the social platforms (@ckouba) and to connect with the ministry of United City visit https://unitedcity.church.  Show NotesFollow on Instagram: @stepup.podcastFollow United City: @untdcitychurchConnect with Pastor Chris: http://chriskouba.comMore About United City: https://unitedcity.church/

Gabriel Smith: A Father's Approval [2:09:18] Click here for: High quality (0 B) Click here for: Low quality (829.63 MB) 5133

Welcome to The Daily, where we study the Bible verse by verse, chapter by chapter, every day. Today's shout-out goes to George Truesdale from Cocoa Beach, FL. Your commitment through Project23 helps deliver God's Word daily with clarity and conviction. This one's for you. Our text today is Judges 14:19-20 And the Spirit of the Lord rushed upon him, and he went down to Ashkelon and struck down thirty men of the town and took their spoil and gave the garments to those who had told the riddle. In hot anger he went back to his father's house. And Samson's wife was given to his companion, who had been his best man. — Judges 14:19-20 Samson is furious. He's lost his bet, been manipulated by his wife, and humiliated in front of his enemies. In rage, he storms down to Ashkelon and kills thirty men to settle the score. And here's the shocking part—the Spirit of the Lord rushes upon him. This is where it gets tricky. God still used Samson's actions to confront Israel's enemies. But Samson's heart was in the wrong place—driven by anger, not obedience. He would confuse God's power with God's approval. Just because God uses you doesn't mean he approves of how you're living. This is a hard pill to swallow. A sermon can land even if the preacher's hiding sin. A business deal can succeed even if corners were cut. A gift can look fruitful while the heart is far from God. Power and results don't always equal God's pleasure. Samson's story warns us—God's calling is irrevocable, but his approval rests on obedience. His Spirit may still work, but sin always leaves wreckage. Samson was used by God, yet left broken, angry, and estranged. Don't mistake God's patience for permission or his power for a green light. What he wants most isn't just results—it's your heart. ASK THIS: Where have you been tempted to measure God's approval by your success? Is there an area of your life where you're "winning" but not obeying? What's one area you need to realign with God's will today? DO THIS: Identify one place in your life where results have blinded you to disobedience. Confess it to God in prayer. Commit one act of obedience this week that costs you something but honors God. PRAY THIS: Lord, thank You that You still work through weak and broken people like me. Keep me from confusing Your power with Your approval. Align my heart with Yours so that my life brings You pleasure, not just results. Amen. PLAY THIS: "Heart of Worship."

You can't build a big, brave, creative life if you're still waiting for permission. In this episode, Ceri talks about the quiet poison of approval seeking, which keeps you performing instead of creating, editing yourself to fit in and please people who might never have seen your work. Or if they do, are too entangled in their own insecurities to applaud it anyway. Ceri explains why so many artists fall into the approval trap and how to get out of it should you be stuck there. KEY TAKEAWAYS Most of the artists you're trying to impress are doing the exact same thing —comparing themselves to someone else, chasing a nod from their own invisible panel of gatekeepers.  You don't need to earn respect. You're already part of a living, breathing ecosystem of creativity. The system only works because each of us contributes our vision, our labour, our risk, our weirdness. If you've caught yourself editing your words or watering down your wins to fit in – use the simple exercise Ceri shares to reset how you view yourself, your work and how it is received, so you can stop seeking validation. BEST MOMENTS “In rooms full of artists, she admired, she shrank. She apologised for her success. She made her language more intellectual to prove she belonged. ” “It's a pyramid scheme of validation. Nobody ever feels they've reached the top.” “Respect isn't a prize handed down; it's a by-product of contribution and participation.” “Respect flows horizontally, not hierarchically. And the moment you stop trying to earn it, you start embodying it.” PODCAST HOST BIO With over 35 years in the art world, Ceri has worked closely with leading artists and arts professionals, managed public and private galleries and charities, and curated more than 250 exhibitions and events. She sold artworks to major museums and private collectors and commissioned thousands of works across diverse media, from renowned artists such as John Akomfrah, Pipilotti Rist, Rafael Lozano-Hemmer and Vito Acconci. Now, she wants to share her extensive knowledge with you, so you can excel and achieve your goals. **** Ceri Hand Coaching Membership: Group coaching, live art surgeries, exclusive masterclasses, portfolio reviews, weekly challenges.

My goal is to provide compassionate insights and practical tools for anyone striving to reclaim their sense of self while moving beyond anxiety. I begin by unpacking the nuances of obsessive-compulsive behaviors, emphasizing that my focus here is on the actions stemming from these patterns rather than diagnostic labels.We explore a common scenario faced by many: the inability to say "no" when deep down, one knows they should, often dictated by a fear of rejection or conflict. Many of us carry the weight of childhood patterns that inform our present behaviors, and for some, this manifests as a compulsive need to placate others, driven by the overwhelming anxiety that something terrible might occur if we don't meet others' expectations.As I navigate the complexities of how OCD fuels extreme forms of people-pleasing, I introduce key concepts such as "the silent trap" of anxiety. This is not merely about the stereotypical traits often associated with OCD, such as cleanliness; it's about the underlying fear and uncertainty that can compel individuals into a cycle of people-pleasing as a misguided attempt to ensure safety and avoid conflict. I share a poignant example from a client who, despite feeling unwell, felt an overwhelming compulsion to agree to a request, driven by their fear of being perceived as selfish or unkind.#AnxietyCoachesPodcast, #GinaRyan, #Anxiety, #OCD, #PeoplePleasing, #Boundaries, #SelfCare, #MentalHealth, #FearBasedLiving, #ReclaimYourNo, #SelfCompassion, #AnxietyRelief, #OCDAwareness, #InternalIntegrity, #DiscomfortIsNotDangerous, #HealingJourney, #AnxietyTrap, #SayingNo, #CompulsionCycle, #TherapyTools, #EAP, #ExposureTherapy, #Mindfulness, #SelfHelp, #EmotionalBoundaries, #AnxietySucks, #PersonalGrowth, #ChooseYourself, #Disappointment, #ACPSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In this week's episode, Lo is joined by actress, singer, producer and Dallas Texas native Hayley Orrantia. They take the Lo Lifers deep into their Texas takeover — from Dallas culture shocks to full-blown southern awakenings. Lo enjoyed his first-ever cattle walk, discovered the chaotic glory of Buc-ee's, and had a spiritual experience with Whataburger (jury's still out).The duo breaks down the unhinged magic of garters and mums, the Texan traditions that left Lo questioning every California school dance he ever attended. They spill on the restaurants that were overhyped, the spots that earned the official Lo Life Stamp of Approval, and Lo's favorite neighborhood in Dallas that low-key feels like its own world.Hayley also dishes on performing at a massive LGBTQ+ gala — yes, 2,000 gays turning up in the middle of conservative Texas — complete with a charity auction, drag-level energy, and enough sequins to blind a longhorn.Then it's time for their new game “Texas or NAH?”, where Lo tests Hayley's Lone Star patriotism and exposes just how seriously Texans take… being Texan.It's an easy, hilarious, comfort-listen with tons of culture, chaos, and cowboy energy. A perfect escape episode.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

This week on "Off The Cuff," Tim is joined by Jill and Sarah to recap some of the latest negotiated rulemaking (neg reg) developments and NASFAA public comments. Jill kicks things off with details from how the Reimagining and Improving Student Education (RISE) Committee worked to define a "professional student" and explained how the Department of Education (ED) approached defining the term, outlined in the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA). Sarah then highlights some of NASFAA's recent comments on ED's proposed revisions to the FSA Feedback System, and their changes to the Application for Approval to Participate in the Federal Student Financial Aid Programs (E-App). 

What is gluttony really? If you’ve ever worried about overeating, obsessing about food, or wondered whether enjoying that extra slice of cake is a spiritual failure, this episode is for you. Best-selling author and host Heather Creekmore dives deep into the true heart behind gluttony—exploring why our modern definitions miss the mark and how diet culture and church culture have distorted our understanding. Heather reframes gluttony, drawing on biblical insight, church history, and thought-provoking examples from C.S. Lewis and Tim Keller. She challenges the idea that gluttony is simply about having seconds or what’s on your plate and asks powerful questions about cravings, control, and where we derive our satisfaction. Plus, Heather explores how misplaced fears about food can keep us stuck and why true freedom comes from surrender—not self-denial. Whether food has become a source of stress or you’re striving for perfect control, this conversation will open your eyes to new ways of understanding your desires and finding satisfaction. Ready to rethink gluttony and experience food freedom? Listen now for practical encouragement, spiritual wisdom, and a fresh take you won’t want to miss!

TEXT US A COMMENT!We have been quietly brainwashed from boyhood to sit down, be quiet, and wait for someone else's approval before we can move. This episode exposes systematic approval conditioning. The hidden training that neutered you before you could even become a man.Rory digs into how parents, school, church, and the system programmed you to seek a green light of approval before you move. Then we show you how to break that leash with Scripture, conviction, and action. If you are tired of asking everyone if it is okay to obey God, this one is for you.QOTD: “If you live for permission from people, you will die with potential still in you.” - TDMPSOTD: Galatians 1:10 ESV“For am I now seeking the approval of man, or of God. Or am I trying to please man. If I were still trying to please man, I would not be a servant of Christ.”APPLICATION STEPS:Step 1.

You have spent years, maybe decades, carrying the weight of messages that told you that if you just lost enough, fixed enough, or proved enough, you would finally be worthy. I want to help you drop that story.We talk about what happens when you hit the goal, lose the weight, follow the program, use the tools, and still look in the mirror and feel the same. For so many, it is not just about seeing the same body. It is about feeling like the same person and still not liking that person. That is the part that hurts. That is where the real regret can creep in.Instead of living your entire life chasing quick fixes and external approval, I want you to build something you will actually want to do for the rest of your life. You already have what you need inside of you to do that. My role is to put out content that reminds you to appreciate yourself from the inside/out. The podcast, the blog, the emails, the resources are all there to reinforce a different kind of message. One that tells you that you are not behind, you are not in competition with anyone else, and your path is allowed to look different.We dig into how subtle and direct marketing, fitness culture, and comparison keep you feeling less than. We talk about the signs that you might be rationalizing a life that does not fit you. And we talk about how things shift when you are genuinely fulfilled and aligned. When you are connected to who you are, you start to want everyone to win, because you are finally on your path.I do not want you to regret the time and energy you have already spent. I want you to use everything you have learned to build a life, a process, and a relationship with yourself that actually feels like yours.Please share this episode with anyone you think would be interested in listening to it.Visit darylperrypodcast.com for links to the show page on each of the major podcast directories.

This week on Innovation Storytellers, I sit down with Robyn Bolton, Founder and Chief Navigator at MileZero, to uncover how one of the most successful household products almost never made it past the boardroom. Before launching her consultancy helping leaders of large companies use innovation to drive consistent growth, Robyn was part of the Procter and Gamble team that created and launched Swiffer, a product that changed how millions clean their homes and reshaped the way corporate innovation is judged. Robyn takes us inside the high-stakes moments at P&G when the data said Swiffer would fail while real-world tests told a completely different story. She describes how passionate storytelling, courage, and evidence from the field ultimately won the day. In that pivotal boardroom, one leader even put his career on the line to ensure the product's launch, proving that innovation is as much about conviction as it is about numbers. We also explore the cultural lessons from Swiffer's global rollout, including why the product thrived in the United States but struggled in Italy, where cleaning was seen as an act of devotion rather than efficiency. Robyn explains how understanding emotional and social context can make or break a global innovation. Her insights extend beyond consumer products to any leader trying to turn bold ideas into scalable reality. In the final part of our conversation, Robyn reflects on her years working with Clay Christensen and why she continues to champion the "Jobs to Be Done" framework. She shares how innovators can use storytelling to connect with hearts and minds, and how companies can equip internal champions to advocate for change. This episode is a masterclass in balancing data with belief, logic with emotion, and vision with timing to bring truly transformative ideas to life.

Control feels like safety, but it's actually exhaustion in disguise.Gal 1:10 “Am I now seeking the approval of man, or of God? If I were still trying to please man, I would not be a servant of Christ.”How do we break free of living for the approval of others?1 John 4:18 There is no fear in love. Perfect love drives out fear.1. Fall in Love with Jesus2. Live from Acceptance not for Acceptance.Romans 5:8 While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.Romans 8:38-39 For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.3. Live with the right filterColossians 3: 23-24 Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men.

If you've ever caught yourself wondering, "Am I good enough? Lovable enough? Worthy enough?"... this episode is for you. Today, I'm diving into the powerful difference between external and internal validation, and how learning to validate yourself is the key to breaking free from codependency, people-pleasing, and enmeshment. When we rely on others to tell us who we are, we lose touch with our true selves. But when we start building that validation from within, everything changes: our confidence, our sense of worth, and the way we move through the world. In this episode, I share: How codependency develops when we seek our worth outside of ourselves Simple ways to practice self-validation every day Why internal validation becomes even more essential as we age How celebrating your small wins rewires your brain and boosts self-worth This episode is all about bringing it home. Finding your value from within and learning to celebrate the beautifully unique human you already are. ✨ Ready to deepen your connection with yourself?

High performers don't crave praise — they crave safety. In this episode, Julie Holly unpacks why performance became your path to belonging and how to finally stop earning love that was always meant to be received.The Roots of Approval: Why You Keep Proving YourselfYou've achieved so much — but deep down, something still drives you to keep proving. No matter how much success you build, that quiet hum remains: Do enough. Be enough. Don't let anyone down.In this intimate reflection, Julie Holly reveals why performance became your path to belonging. Through the lens of attachment theory, polyvagal insight, and real-life experience, you'll discover how your nervous system learned to equate doing well with being safe — and how to rewrite that pattern from the inside out.You'll learn:Why approval isn't about ego — it's about safety and connection.How your nervous system links performance to survival.The difference between unconditional and conditional attachment — and how it shaped your adult identity.How approval takes many forms: applause, silence, avoidance, or even belonging in unsafe spaces.Why high performance can become a survival response instead of an authentic expression.How recalibration at the identity level begins freeing your body and mind from old attachment loops.This episode offers both compassionate understanding and practical application — blending science, story, and soul to help you stop striving for what you already carry.

Jason Kander and Ravi Gupta break down Donald Trump's collapsing approval numbers, as new polling from The Economist shows his net rating falling to -18, the lowest it has ever been—even lower than any point in his first term. They discuss what's driving the drop, from voter fatigue to economic fallout, and what it means for Trump's reelection odds. Kander and Gupta also dive into a new Reuters report revealing the Trump family raked in over $800 million from crypto ventures in just the first half of 2025, even as Trump pardoned Binance CEO CZ Zhao in a move critics call blatant corruption, analyzing how the pardon fits into Trump's broader pattern of rewarding allies and dismantling financial oversight. Then, they turn to Washington's ongoing chaos as the government shutdown drags on, with Marjorie Taylor Greene turning on Speaker Mike Johnson and demanding Republicans unveil a real health care plan, and examine Democrats' surprising restraint in Illinois and Maryland redistricting fights, and how internal debates over power and principle are shaping both parties' futures. Plus, they break down the Senate's rare bipartisan rebuke of Trump's Brazil tariffs, a sign that even some Republicans are losing patience with his economic nationalism.
