From a violent East L.A. childhood under an abusive preacher father to stabbing his dad at 16, Joe's rage fueled over 30 audacious bank heists, outwitting the FBI with disguises and body doubles. Solitary confinement nearly broke him, but a transformative correspondence sparked redemption. Now a writer and Hollywood consultant (Baby Driver, Taken), Joe unpacks trauma, toxic masculinity, and the system's role in crafting criminals. Is his redemption real, or is he a pawn in a larger narrative? GUEST: Joe Loya is a former bank robber turned acclaimed writer and Hollywood consultant. Growing up in East L.A. under a violently abusive Christian minister father, Joe's trauma culminated in stabbing his father at 16, igniting a path to crime. In the late '80s and early '90s, he robbed over 30 banks with cunning disguises and high-speed escapes, earning notoriety as California's most elusive outlaw. After two years in solitary confinement, a correspondence with author Richard Rodriguez sparked his transformation. Loya's memoir, The Man Who Outgrew His Prison Cell, and his work on films like Baby Driver and Taken showcase his storytelling, rooted in his youth as a Bible preacher. Featured in The Guardian and CNN, Joe's journey from rage to redemption raises questions about trauma, criminality, and the system's role in shaping both. Joe's remarkable story is the subject of  Season Four of the podcast series, The Burden:  Get the Moey and Run.   WEBSITE: https://www.joeloya.ltd BOOK:The Man Who Outgrew His Prison Cell Learn more about your ad choices.

Is this the week we see the first sub-4:00 mile by a woman? We preview Faith Kipyegon's historic attempt and dive deep into the science behind it with Dr. Mike Hahn of the Bowerman Sports Science Center & Wu Tsai Human Performance Alliance (1:01:42). We also chat with Andreas Almgren (1:43:40), fresh off his stunning 12:44 European record in the 5000m. He opens up about training, belief, and adapting Jakob Ingebrigtsen's methods to reach the next level. We break down a ridiculous weekend in the men's 1500 — two guys run 3:27 in Paris (Azeddine Habz & Phanuel Koech), and Cam Myers and Josh Hoey join the sub-3:30 club. On the U.S. high school front, the talent is exploding: Natalie Dumas pulls off an all-time triple, Cooper Lutkenhaus runs 1:45 as a sophomore, and more phenoms are emerging. Show notes below

The longest day has come and gone but we are now deep into silly season, the transfer-rumour-ridden hinterland that chases the end of the previous season out of town.Manchester United may or may not have made an improved bid for Brentford forward Bryan Mbeumo, and may or may not have had a discussion with the representatives of Aston Villa goalkeeper Emi Martinez. After Mbeumo, the plan is to sell before buying, but it has been an 'interesting' few days for the players expected to leave the club.We also dig into the mailbag where there was a powerful response to the ticket price hikes and categorisation of league matches and take on the tricky task of mapping out the women's team's route through European qualifying.

NATO leaders have committed to more than double their spending on defence and security. The decision came in response to President Trump's repeated demands that European countries and Canada should pay more towards their own defence. Also: Israel says the strikes on Iran's nuclear sites may have set back Tehran's ability to build nuclear weapons by many years. And a fraudster is jailed for conning luxury businesses into buying tea which he claimed to have grown in Scotland.

S&P futures are flat, unchanged from the prior close. Following broad gains on Tuesday, European equity markets are mostly firmer in rangebound trade. Asian markets continued to advance today, led by gains in Greater China and Japan. The ceasefire between Iran and Israel appears to be holding, with Iran signaling readiness for diplomacy. U.S. airstrikes reportedly caused limited damage to Iran's underground nuclear facilities, delaying its program by a few months but failing to destroy centrifuges or enriched uranium stockpiles.Companies Mentioned: Glacier Bancorp, Brighthouse Financial

Quietly, without any fuss, Poland's per capita GDP has matched that of Japan. By the end of the decade they will have, by far, the most powerful armed forces in Europe. Poland has been a bulwark against the east for centuries, and now, in a war of assimilation that has consumed so many European neighbors, the Poles stand resolutely true to their own heritage.

Until the mid-17th century, for the vast majority of Europeans, medical care was administered by women for free in the household and neighborhood, using herbs and other formulas passed down between and among generations. Karen Bloom Gevirtz illustrates how and why only a century later, they were supplanted by men who established the basis of our for-profit medical system. (Full-length presentation.)

A new era of defence readiness.James Copnall, presenter of the BBC's Newsday speaks to Andrius Kubilius, EU Commissioner for Defence and Space, about the need for Europe to be able to defend itself.In an interview recorded before the Nato summit on 24/25 June 2025, Mr Kubilius, a former Prime Minister of Lithuania, says peace in Europe cannot be taken for granted and that Europe can no longer rely on American military backing. Therefore, defence readiness must be a priority, meaning increased spending commitments from Nato members, and a unified, quick and clear approach across Europe to building defence capabilities. This, he believes, is the only way to deter the threat of further Russian aggression.But some Nato member states may struggle to meet the proposed increased spending target of 3.5% of GDP on defence. A few still haven't met the current goal of 2%, set more than a decade ago. However, other European nations are already boosting spending to 5% including countries living in close proximity to Russia, such as Poland, Estonia and Lithuania. Overall, Europe still only accounts for 30% of Nato's total military spending, a figure that has prompted US President Trump to demand a much greater contribution from European members.Thank you to the Newsday team for their help in making this programme.

FreightWaves honors the remarkable life and legacy of Fred Smith, the visionary founder who built FedEx into the world's largest cargo airline. Learn how his hands-on leadership and strategic aircraft acquisitions transformed the company into a global commerce leader, even through ventures that didn't succeed. Erez Agmoni of Interwoven Ventures, who previously led innovation at Maersk, shares insights on how combining AI computer vision with dynamic digital twins allows for significant efficiency improvements, as seen in Maersk's container unloading, which achieved 82% accuracy in prediction times, and drayage operations, which saved millions by consolidating information for optimization. Geopolitical tensions are disrupting freight flows, as demonstrated by Maersk's decision to stop Haifa service prior to Iran missile attacks, underscoring the delicate balance shipping giants must maintain for crew safety and operations. This suspension, amid escalating conflict, contributed to increased container rates from Shanghai to European ports, showing broader market uncertainties. For the trucking industry, prepare for a hot, tight July 4th freight market, where spot truckload rates are expected to rise, offering a significant opportunity for carriers to capitalize on higher rates. Freight brokers, however, face the challenge of proactively managing margins against potentially surging spot rates as tender rejection rates climb nationally and in key regional hubs. Fuel prices are also in the spotlight, with the benchmark diesel price now at its highest level in almost a year after a big jump, even as ultra low sulfur diesel (ULSD) futures markets recently plunged. This surge, following initial fears of supply disruptions from Middle East conflicts, means diesel consumers are still feeling the pinch at the pump. Finally, we highlight innovative strides in fleet management as Samsara introduces its 2025 North America Customer Advisory Board, bringing together industry leaders to shape the product roadmap for AI-driven tools. Discover how customers are leveraging Samsara's AI-powered platforms to achieve impressive ROI, including millions saved in maintenance costs and significant reductions in accidents and theft.

In this episode, my son Jack joins me to examine The Consolation of Philosophy by Boethius, a Roman scholar living just after the fall of the Roman Empire in 476 CE. A renaissance man before the Renaissance, Boethius translated Greek philosophers like Aristotle and Plato, served as a trusted aide to the Gothic king Theodoric in Ravenna, and was a mathematician, astronomer, and family man whose sons became consuls in their early 20s. Despite his Christian faith, tensions with the Arian Theodoric led to his imprisonment and brutal execution at 44. This tragedy tarnished Theodoric's rule, but Boethius' legacy shaped medieval thought, preserving Greek philosophy and influencing giants like Chaucer, Dante, Aquinas, and Shakespeare.Written in a cell awaiting death, The Consolation of Philosophy is a profound dialogue between Boethius and Lady Philosophy. Divided into five books, it blends prose (prosa) and poetry (metrea), offering wisdom through a narrative arc. Book One introduces Boethius' despair; Book Two explores Fortune's fickleness; Book Three seeks the highest Good; Book Four tackles the problem of evil; and Book Five reconciles divine foreknowledge with free will. The poems, rich with mythological and Biblical imagery, provide emotional breaks and reinforce the prose's insights. As C.S. Lewis noted, this work was beloved by educated Europeans for centuries.Boethius weaves Neoplatonism, Stoicism, and Aristotelian ideas into a Christian framework. Lady Philosophy echoes Plato's belief in innate knowledge, urging Boethius to “dream of your origin,” and champions philosopher-kings. Stoic themes emerge as she declares the mind free despite bodily exile, while Aristotle's Unmoved Mover aligns with Boethius' God. The concept of exile as a spiritual crisis resonates, connecting Boethius to figures like Odysseus and Dante.Jack and I discuss whether this is a satire, and how much both of us love Boethius as a character in his own novel.The Ignatius Press edition, translated by Scott Goins and Barbara Wyman, shines with clear prose, excellent footnotes, and quality paper—perfect for annotating. This book demands a reread and sparks a reading list including Chaucer, Milton, and C.S. Lewis' The Discarded Image. Join us! I think this book is for everyone, but even if you think, "Maybe not for me," you'll know what it's about and why it matters.This is a year-long challenge!

Risk was supported on Wall Street following Iran's "symbolic" strike on a US base in Qatar—de-escalatory in nature, given the clear effort to minimise casualties and collateral damage.Sentiment was further bolstered at the resumption of futures trading after US President Trump announced a ceasefire agreement between Iran and Israel, effective 05:00 BST.Israeli strikes were continuous as markets headed into Iran's proposed ceasefire time (01:30 BST) vs Trump's guided time (05:00 BST).Crude oil tumbled 9% on Monday, with losses of almost 3% seen heading into the European open.European equity futures are indicative of a positive open with the Euro Stoxx 50 future +1.2% after cash closed -0.2% on Monday.Looking ahead, highlights include German Ifo, Canadian Inflation, US Consumer Confidence, NZ Trade, NBH Policy Announcement, BoE's Bailey, Greene, Ramsden, Pill, Breeden; ECB's Lagarde, de Guindos, Lane; Fed's Powell, Hammack, Williams, Collins, Barr, NATO summit, Supply from UK, Germany, US, Earnings from FedEx, Carnival.Read the full report covering Equities, Forex, Fixed Income, Commodites and more on Newsquawk

It is common to refer to philosophy as "a series of footnotes to Plato." But in the original quote, Alfred North Whitehead was more careful: he limited his characterization to "the European philosophical tradition." There are other traditions, both ancient and ongoing: Chinese philosophy, Indian philosophy, Africana philosophy, and various indigenous philosophies. For the most part, these do not get nearly as much attention in European and American schools as the European tradition does. Bryan Van Norden argues for expanding philosophy's geographical scope, to the benefit of philosophy in general.Blog post with transcript: https://www.preposterousuniverse.com/podcast/2025/06/23/319-bryan-van-norden-on-philosophy-from-the-rest-of-the-world/Support Mindscape on Patreon.Bryan Van Norden received his Ph.D. in philosophy from Stanford University. He is currently James Monroe Taylor Chair in Philosophy at Vassar College and Chair Professor in the School of Philosophy at Wuhan University.

In a world full of challenges, how can technology be a force for good? As we navigate the complexities of the modern era, it becomes increasingly evident that the role of technology extends far beyond innovation for innovation's sake; it is a formidable force capable of catalyzing positive change. Marga Hoek, a visionary three-time CEO and sustainability advocate, unravels the transformative potential of technology in her latest book, Tech for Good: Imagine Solving the World's Greatest Challenges. Her perspective invites the readers to reconsider the potential impact of technology on society, urging us to shift our focus from mere profit-driven endeavors to initiatives that prioritize the greater good. In this episode of The Greatness Machine, Darius talks with Marga to delve into the significance of ethical business practices and leadership's role in instigating change, touching on the European sustainability approach and challenges like trust and short-termism. Marga highlights the positive impact of technology and stresses the essential balance between tech and human engagement. The conversation covers the interaction of humans and technology, anticipating future professions, and the value of envisioning technology for good and conquering inner fears. Topics include: Setting up the Dutch Sustainable Business Association and the Sustainable Science Association The difference in perspectives on sustainability between Europe and the United States The importance of recognizing liabilities and expenses in business The potential role of technology in forcing disruption and bringing about change The collective impact of individuals, companies, and business leaders in driving change The crucial role of leadership in driving change and overcoming challenges  The interconnectedness of sustainability and innovation The role of purpose-driven companies and their potential for scaling up Leveraging technology for sustainability And other topics… Connect with Marga: Website: https://margahoek.com/ Books: https://margahoek.com/order/ LinkedIn: https://nl.linkedin.com/in/margahoek Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/margahoek/  Connect with Darius: Website: https://therealdarius.com/ Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dariusmirshahzadeh/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/whoompdarius/ YouTube: https://therealdarius.com/youtube Book: The Core Value Equation https://www.amazon.com/Core-Value-Equation-Framework-Limitless/dp/1544506708 Sponsored by: Constant Contact: Try Constant Contact free for 30 days at constantcontact.com.

A tulpa is a materialized being or thought-form, typically in human shape, that is created through spiritual practice and intense concentration. The term is borrowed from Tibetan Buddhism. Modern practitioners, who call themselves "tulpamancers", use the term to refer to a type of willed imaginary friend whom practitioners consider sentient and relatively independent. Modern practitioners predominantly consider tulpas a psychological rather than a paranormal phenomenon. The idea became an important belief in Theosophy.The concept of tulpas has origins in the Buddhist nirmāṇakāya, translated in Tibetan as sprul-pa: The earthly bodies that a buddha manifests in order to teach those who have not attained nirvana. The western understanding of tulpas was developed by 20th-century European mystical explorers, who interpreted the idea independently of buddhahood.Support the pod:www.patreon.com/monsterfuzz Check out our merch:https://monster-fuzz.creator-spring.com Everything else!www.linktr.ee/monsterfuzzBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/monster-fuzz--4349429/support.

Full Text of ReadingsMonday of the Twelfth Week in Ordinary Time Lectionary: 371The Saint of the day is Saint John FisherSaint John Fisher's Story John Fisher is usually associated with Erasmus, Thomas More, and other Renaissance humanists. His life therefore, did not have the external simplicity found in the lives of some saints. Rather, he was a man of learning, associated with the intellectuals and political leaders of his day. He was interested in the contemporary culture and eventually became chancellor at Cambridge. He had been made a bishop at 35, and one of his interests was raising the standard of preaching in England. Fisher himself was an accomplished preacher and writer. His sermons on the penitential psalms were reprinted seven times before his death. With the coming of Lutheranism, he was drawn into controversy. His eight books against heresy gave him a leading position among European theologians. In 1521, Fisher was asked to study the question of King Henry VIII's marriage to Catherine of Aragon, his brother's widow. He incurred Henry's anger by defending the validity of the king's marriage with Catherine, and later by rejecting Henry's claim to be the supreme head of the Church of England. In an attempt to be rid of him, Henry first had Fisher accused of not reporting all the “revelations” of the nun of Kent, Elizabeth Barton. In feeble health, Fisher was summoned to take the oath to the new Act of Succession. He and Thomas More refused to do so because the Act presumed the legality of Henry's divorce and his claim to be head of the English Church. They were sent to the Tower of London, where Fisher remained 14 months without trial. Finally both men were sentenced to life imprisonment and loss of goods. When the two were called to further interrogations, they remained silent. On the supposition that he was speaking privately as a priest, Fisher was tricked into declaring again that the king was not supreme head of the church in England. The king, further angered that the pope had made John Fisher a cardinal, had him brought to trial on the charge of high treason. He was condemned and executed, his body left to lie all day on the scaffold and his head hung on London Bridge. More was executed two weeks later. John Fisher’s liturgical feast is celebrated on June 22. Reflection Today many questions are raised about Christians' and priests' active involvement in social issues. John Fisher remained faithful to his calling as a priest and bishop. He strongly upheld the teachings of the Church; the very cause of his martyrdom was his loyalty to Rome. He was involved in the cultural enrichment circles as well as in the political struggles of his time. This involvement caused him to question the moral conduct of the leadership of his country. “The Church has the right, indeed the duty, to proclaim justice on the social, national and international level, and to denounce instances of injustice, when the fundamental rights of man and his very salvation demand it” (Justice in the World, 1971 Synod of Bishops). Saint of the Day, Copyright Franciscan Media

President Trump responds on social media, "Iran has officially responded to our Obliteration of their Nuclear Facilities with a very weak response, which we expected, and have very effectively countered….There have been 14 missiles fired — 13 were knocked down, and 1 was “set free,” because it was headed in a nonthreatening direction. I am pleased to report that NO Americans were harmed, and hardly any damage was done." On Capitol Hill, two bipartisan war powers resolutions are moving their way through Congress. In the House, Reps. Thomas Massie (R-KY) and Ro Khanna (D-CA) are leading one that blocks U.S. involvement in the conflict. In the Senate, Sen. Tim Kaine (D-VA) says he plans to push for a vote this week on a similar resolution and that Republican lawmakers in his chamber have expressed support for it. Meanwhile, British Foreign Secretary David Lammy and European leaders urged Iran to return to the negotiating table. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Today, the Two Mikes welcomed back Mr. Brandon Weichert for a discussion of international affairs and the dangers that are accumulating from them for the United States. Currently, Mr. Weichert is the Senior National Security Editor at the National Interest journal. He also is a best-selling author on many of the topics we spoke about. Mr. Weichert argued convincingly that the war in Ukraine is lost and has been lost for a good time. There really is nothing for President Trump to do but to walk away from Ukraine, Zelensky, and NATO. America has been disastrously involved in Europe's terminal inability to stay out of war since 1917 and have won two wars for them. Now we are involved in a third war started and wanted by the Europeans, the Western intelligence agencies, and Biden, and we find that the cocky European bastards, their governments, their controlled media, the UN, and their intelligence agencies – probably with the CIA and the Mossad – are trying to suck the United States into a nuclear war with Russia. Enough is enough, if European regimes wants a nuclear war with Russia, let them have it. The end of Western Europe as it is and the annihilation of the NATO treaty can be nothing but good news for the United States. In the Middle East, Mr. Weichert said that it certainly appears that Benjamin Netanyahu is going down and that he does not care that he will be taking Israel down with him. Over one million Israelis have already fled their country. The war does on and on in the Middle East and the Israeli military continues, on Netanyahu's orders, to try to kick all the Palestinians to death, while simultaneously trying to draw the United States into satisfying the lust of Netanyahu and his circle – which includes most of the Congress and the wealthiest of Jewish-Americans – for all-out war with Iran. The key to getting out of this mess is obvious, dump the Israelis and let them fend for themselves against the coming war of retribution that will be thrown at them by the Bin Laden-inspired descendants of the untold number of Arab people – fighters and civilians -- who have been killed, incarcerated, assassinated, tortured, and murdered by the U.S.-backed Israel's military and intelligence organizations since 1948.   Mr Weicher's most recent book -- The Shadow War: Iran's Quest for Supremacy is available at Amazon and other booksellers, as are his two excellent previous books Biohacked: China's Race to Control Life and Winning Space: How America Remains a Superpower.
