On this episode of The Hillsdale College Online Courses Podcast, Jeremiah and Juan discuss American foreign policy in the wake of World War One before introducing Michael Anton. We often treat foreign policy as a mystery that can only be understood by an enlightened few who have committed their lives to understanding the complexities of international life. This view is dangerous because it encourages citizens to ignore a critical aspect of American political life that it’s our duty to understand. And it’s false because the basics of foreign policy are commonsense and a joy to learn. For the Founders, the basic premise of foreign policy is simple—we must make every decision with a view towards securing the equal, natural rights of American citizens. This understanding requires that America’s leaders remain accountable to the people, and it places essential limits on our interventions abroad. Yet, for over a century, this traditional understanding of American foreign policy has been challenged by new and more ambitious doctrines that argue for increased American involvement and leadership abroad. World War One marks the rise of the new progressive foreign policy among American elites who sought to spread American principles abroad and make the world safe for democracy. But the American public still largely opposed foreign interventions, and after the Great War, they elected presidents who promised to avoid foreign entanglements and return to a noninterventionist policy.

On Saturday, Romania said that it had detected a Russian drone in its airspace during an air patrol mission. The Romanian military authorized its pilots to shoot down the drone, but they declined to do so due to potential “collateral risks.” The incident marks the second Russian incursion into a North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) country's airspace this month; on Wednesday, NATO warplanes shot down several Russian drones over Poland, prompting Poland to invoke Article 4 of the North Atlantic Treaty. Russia has claimed that the violations were unintentional, but many European leaders have said the incidents have increased the chances of open conflict with Russia.

"A cat that is well socialized is highly adoptable. A cat that is not well socialized sits in the shelter. It's an important part of your fostering responsibility to get them ready to live outside. Before it was just saving their lives. But now we know better.” This episode is sponsored-in-part by Maddie's Fund and The Community Cat Clinic. In this episode, host Stacy LeBaron welcomes back Marnie Russ, founder of National Kitten College, for an update on her innovative approach to neonatal kitten care. Since her first appearance on the podcast in 2016-2017, Marnei has grown her innovative "Kitten College" program from a small local initiative into a national movement that has fundamentally changed how shelters approach kitten fostering and care. What started as a business plan that would have "gotten an F in college" has evolved into a sophisticated system that increased kitten saves from 92 to nearly 1,600 annually while achieving an extraordinary 94-96% live release rate for neonates. Marnie explains how her grade-based foster system (freshman, sophomore, junior, senior) allows fosters to specialize in the age groups they prefer while ensuring kittens receive optimal socialization through multiple placements. This model challenges traditional fostering wisdom that discouraged moving kittens between homes, instead proving that strategic movement enhances socialization and health outcomes. She details how the program evolved organically, with fosters creating their own "conveyor belt" systems and team approaches that maximize both volunteer satisfaction and kitten success rates. The conversation explores the critical intersection between TNR work and kitten programs, addressing how Kitten College supports community cat efforts by providing reliable placement options for trapped litters. Marnie discusses her partnership with UC Davis and University of Florida to ensure all recommendations align with current shelter medicine best practices, her work developing the first national neonatal kitten training center, and her commitment to making these resources free or low-cost for rural and under-resourced communities. This episode demonstrates how innovative thinking about traditional shelter practices can create scalable solutions that benefit both animals and the people who care for them. Press play now for: How Marnie's original collaboration with National Kitten Coalition led to studying major nurseries nationwide The evolution from 92 kittens annually to nearly 1,600 with 94-96% live release rates for neonates The grade-based foster system (freshman through senior) that allows specialization and prevents foster burnout Why moving kittens between foster homes improves socialization rather than harming it How the "conveyor belt" system emerged organically with foster teams working together The critical connection between TNR efforts and kitten placement programs during summer months Partnership strategies between Kitten College programs and community cat trappers Working with UC Davis and University of Florida to align practices with current shelter medicine Development of the first national neonatal kitten training center in partnership with Humane Rescue Alliance The transition from Animal Welfare League of Arlington to becoming an independent national nonprofit Funding challenges and commitment to providing free or low-cost services to rural communities Success of "Taking the Fear out of Bottle Feeding" course as Maddie's University's top-performing class Why traditional "every two hours" feeding schedules are outdated and discourage potential fosters Creating community connections where kitten programs can support each other nationally The importance of employer partnerships to enable workplace bottle feeding for dedicated fosters Resources mentioned: National Kitten College website (https://www.kittencollege.org/) Email: info@kittencollege.org National Kitten College Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/p/National-Kitten-College-61558629895690/) Maddie's University online courses (https://university.maddiesfund.org/) Animal Welfare League of Arlington - original program location (https://www.awla.org/) Animal Welfare League of Arlington Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/AWLArlington/) Humane Rescue Alliance - DC partnership (https://www.humanerescuealliance.org/) Humane Rescue Alliance Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/humanerescuealliance/) UC Davis Koret Shelter Medicine Program (https://www.shelterlearniverse.com/) University of Florida Shelter Medicine Program (https://sheltermedicine.vetmed.ufl.edu/) National Kitten Coalition (https://kittencoalition.org/) Sponsor Links: Maddie's Fund (https://www.communitycatspodcast.com/maddies623) The Community Cat Clinic (https://www.communitycatspodcast.com/catclinicga) Follow & Review We'd love for you to follow us if you haven't yet.

A certified Bloom Growth coach and host of the Blue Collar.CEO podcast, Ryan draws from his own journey of overcoming burnout and leading successful company exits to help others build sustainable businesses and achieve their goals.

Profits shrink, growth stalls, and personal freedom disappears. Is it possible to escape the grind without losing control of the business?

His story highlights the power of trust, healthy conflict, and culture in overcoming burnout and building sustainable growth.

Unity is acting together even when we don't think alike. And one of the primary aims of the American Constitution is to support a democracy of those unified in diversity. Yuval Levin joins Mark Labberton to explore the precarious state of American constitutional life and the imbalance of power between the branches of the U.S. government. Drawing from his book America's Covenant, Levin argues that the Founders designed the Constitution above all to preserve unity in a divided society. Yet today, he warns, the imbalance of power—particularly the weakness of Congress and the rise of presidential authority—threatens democratic legitimacy. In this conversation, Levin reflects on originalism, the courts, Donald Trump's expanding influence, and the dangers of both passivity and autocracy. With clarity and urgency, he calls for renewed civic engagement and for Congress to reclaim its central role. Episode Highlights “Unity doesn't mean thinking alike. Unity means acting together. And the question for a modern political society is how do we act together when we don't think alike?” “The biggest problem we have is that Congress is under-active, radically under-active and has turned itself into a spectator.” “The president is in charge of the executive branch, but the executive branch is not in charge of the American government.” “I am very concerned about this kind of Caesar-ism. I think it is very dangerous.” “What we're seeing is constitutional creep, where the president is pushing and nobody's pushing back, and only Congress can do it.” “I worry a lot about Donald Trump. But the reason I worry is because Congress isn't doing its job.” “The politics of an autocratic state is a politics of spectators, and we just cannot become spectators.” “All of us will find ourselves in the minority sooner or later.” Helpful Links and Resources America's Covenant: The Constitution and the Path to National Unity, by Yuval Levin American Enterprise Institute (Find Yuval Levin's current research and publications) *New York Times Opinion* – Yuval Levin's columns at the New York Times About Yuval Levin Yuval Levin is director of Social, Cultural, and Constitutional Studies at the American Enterprise Institute (AEI), where he also holds the Beth and Ravenel Curry Chair in Public Policy.

Show Notes Constitutional unity and division Yuval Levin summarizes America's Covenant as a reintroduction to the Constitution framed around the challenge of unity in diversity. “Unity doesn't mean thinking alike. Unity means acting together.” The Constitution prioritizes bargaining, negotiation, and legitimacy over efficiency. Congress was designed as the “first branch” of government to embody pluralism and force compromise. The decline of Congress and rise of the presidency Levin argues Congress is radically under-active, ceding ground to presidents and courts. “The biggest problem we have is that Congress is under-active, radically under-active and has turned itself into a spectator.” Excessive focus on the presidency erodes democratic legitimacy. Current frustrations stem from misunderstanding the system's design: it resists narrow majorities and forces broad coalitions. Courts, originalism, and the unitary executive Levin affirms he is an originalist: “a philosophy of judicial interpretation … a mode of self-restraint for judges.” Supreme Court decisions in recent years repeatedly signal: “Congress, do your job.” He outlines the unitary executive theory: the president controls the executive branch, but not the government as a whole. “The president is in charge of the executive branch, but the executive branch is not in charge of the American government.” Trump's expanding power Levin warns of the growing push to centralize authority in the presidency. “I am very concerned about this kind of Caesar-ism. I think it is very dangerous.” Trump's second term differs because restraints have vanished; his circle now encourages unrestrained executive action. Disruption of long-held norms has weakened trust in American institutions globally and domestically. Constitutional crisis vs. constitutional creep Levin distinguishes between “creep,” “conflict,” and “crisis.” He argues the U.S. is experiencing constitutional creep: unchecked executive power without Congress pushing back. True crisis would involve direct defiance of the courts—something still possible but not yet realized. The role of citizens and civic responsibility Levin stresses the danger of passivity: “The politics of an autocratic state is a politics of spectators, and we just cannot become spectators.” Citizens should keep writing to Congress, vote with clear expectations, and engage in local governance. State legislatures, though less visible, often function better than Congress today. Clear thinking itself, Levin suggests, is a moral act for a healthy republic.

Starting a microschool comes with incredible joy—but it also comes with the pressure of making everyone happy: parents, students, even your staff. If you've ever felt the weight of parent expectations on your shoulders, this episode is for you. In today's conversation, I'm pulling back the curtain on how new founders can manage parent pressure without burning out. We'll talk about: ✨ Why boundaries are essential for your sanity and your school's success ✨ How proactive communication reduces conflict and builds trust ✨ The reality that confidence doesn't come overnight—it grows with systems, support, and consistency ✨ Practical ways to onboard parents, clarify expectations, and foster community involvement And most importantly, I'll remind you that you are not alone. What if you had a community of founders who reminded you that you're not crazy for doing this—and helped you do it well? That's exactly why I created Microschool Masterminds and the Open House Playbook. These resources are designed to give you the clarity, tools, and encouragement you need to lead with confidence.

What does it take to turn hand-drawn dog toy sketches into a globally beloved pet brand? Jen Glaser, co-founder of ZippyPaws, joins me to share her journey from college graduate with a dream to leading one of the world's most design-forward pet toy companies — alongside her dad and their growing team.From creating the now-iconic Donutz toy (which has sold over 10 million units!) to navigating a rapidly changing retail landscape, Jen reveals how combining creativity, quality, and a deep love for dogs has helped ZippyPaws stand out in a crowded market — all while staying family-owned and proudly independent.

If “you” online isn't the same you who shows up in person, you're not alone.  Most founders haven't taken the time to align their personal identity with how they present themselves online. But that clarity–on the inside and out–is what gives your brand staying power. This is a special episode where I joined Jesse Paliotto on FastSpring's Growth Stage podcast to talk about personal branding, founder identity, and why branding from the inside out is the only way to build a business that lasts. The SOULiD Framework Every founder already has a personal brand. The question is–does yours reflect the essence of who you are? In this episode, I share the framework we've used with hundreds of entrepreneurs at brandiD to help them uncover their true differentiators, define their vision, and build a brand around what makes them unique.  Practical Tips for Founder Visibility We talk about the most common mistakes entrepreneurs make when they try to grow their brand–and what to focus on instead. I share how to do a quick audit of your digital presence (hint: it starts with a Google search), why AI can't replace real personality, and what every founder needs to know before they hit publish. Whether you're just getting started or working to build long-term visibility, this conversation will help you focus on what really moves the needle.

Even if you have a company, it's not so you don't feel like it's about building your personal brand, you should still point that vanity URL to your about page on your corporate site.” 11:01 - 11:18 “When we know what we stand for, we can talk about those things in a way, with conviction–and those also can be very sticky points, both in a positive and negative way to attract our ideal clients.” Quotes “Resilience as entrepreneurs, I think it's absolutely one of the top three qualities we need to be successful.” “In today's world, consumers are so much more savvy around companies they're supporting or not supporting.” “People don't think they have a personal brand.

Founder & CEO of Elevated Medical, Dr. Avinish Reddy, joins Matt today on this very special episode to discuss a comprehensive approach to longevity. One core theme presented is the profound interconnectedness of physical, mental, and cognitive well-being, essential for true health optimization. Dr. Reddy emphasizes the striking impact of social connection: isolation can increase early death risk by 50%, comparable to smoking. He believes fostering strong social bonds is a fundamental pillar of healthcare, akin to sleep's importance.The discussion highlights advanced diagnostics and actionable lifestyle strategies. Dr. Reddy advocates for precise cardiovascular risk assessment (apoB) and early metabolic dysfunction detection (fasting insulin/OGTT), with imaging (CT/CIMT) that visualizes arterial health proactively. As you will hear, prevention must begin decades before major health events, utilizing personalized data, and lifestyle is paramount - consistent movement, balanced nutrition, quality sleep, and stress management are vital for reversing conditions and fostering resilience.Please note that Matt is not a medical doctor, and none of the content in this podcast should be considered medical advice in any way, shape, or form, nor prescriptive in any way.As a huge supporter of mission-driven companies, Matt recommends new partner Branch Basics.

My guest today is Jonathan Siddharth, co-founder and CEO of Turing.Jonathan incubated Turing in Foundation Capital's Palo Alto office in 2018. Since then, it has grown into a multi-billion dollar company that powers nearly every frontier AI lab: OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Meta, Microsoft, and others.

In this episode of the Sweet but Fearless podcast, co-founder Mary Sullivan talks with Tara Landes, Founder of Bellrock. After years of working with small businesses across North America, Tara returned to Vancouver and discovered a gap no one was filling. She didn't just step into the work she was already great at - she leaned into what she loved most. Rather than wait for the perfect role to appear, she created it, building a business around passion and purpose. Tara shares how identifying unmet needs, following what lights you up, and defining what truly matters can guide your path. She also explains why influence and persuasion are essential skills for turning ideas into reality and inspiring others along the way. If you've ever felt successful on paper but unfulfilled in practice, Tara's story is a reminder that fulfillment often comes from leaning into your natural strengths and using them to serve others. Tara Landes is the Founder of Bellrock. Based in Vancouver, BC, Tara has been working directly with the leaders and managers of North American companies to help them scale and build enterprise value since the turn of the century.   MORE ABOUT TARA LANDES: LinkedIn: Tara Landes Website: Bellrock Sign up for her Newsletter ABOUT SWEET BUT FEARLESS: Website - Sweet but Fearless LinkedIn - Sweet but Fearless

Welcome to the Future Generations Podcast with Guest Alyssa Campbell, author of "Tiny Humans, Big Emotions" (New York Times Bestseller) and her newest book "Big Kids, Bigger Feelings" out this September.

Targeting parents of children aged 5-12, educators, and child development professionals, the conversation explores the nine sensory systems, how children process stimuli, and provides practical strategies for supporting emotional growth. Campbell breaks down the unique ways children experience and regulate their emotions, offering insights that can help parents move from reactive parenting to intentional, compassionate guidance.   Highlights: "All behaviors are communication of a need."   "What we're sensitive to drains our nervous system. What we're seeking recharges it."   "We're all unique humans, and the way our nervous system works is unique."   "It's not a question of whether your body is wise. The question is, what is your body trying to say?"   Timestamps: 03:45 - Introduction 08:01 - Exploring the Nine Sensory Systems 13:07 - Understanding Sensitivity vs. Seeking in Nervous System 25:38 - Collaborative Emotion Processing Method Explained 30:34 - Practical Strategies for Nervous System Regulation 34:38 - Deep Dive into Emotion Processing Steps 41:16 - COVID-19's Impact on Children's Emotional Development 44:27 - The Power of Compassion in Parenting 49:33 - Alyssa Campbell's Mission and Future Vision 53:07 - How to Connect and Learn More   Resources:   Remember to Rate, Review, and Subscribe on iTunes and Follow us on Spotify!   Learn more about Dr. Stanton Hom on:   Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drstantonhom  Website: https://futuregenerationssd.com/    Podcast Website: https://thefuturegen.com Twitter: https://twitter.com/drstantonhom  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stanhomdc  Stay Connected with the Future Generations Podcast:   Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/futuregenpodcast  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/futuregenpodcast/    Links:    https://www.thehivemethod.co/ https://www.instagram.com/thehivemethod.co   About Alyssa Campbell: Alyssa Campbell M.Ed., is an emotional intelligence researcher, Founder and the CEO of Seed & Sew, host of the Voices of Your Village podcast and author of Big Kids, Bigger Feelings: Navigating Defiance, Meltdowns, Anxiety to Raise Confident, Connected Kids (HarperCollins Harvest, 9/16/25).

AI companies are hitting growth milestones in record time—some reaching $100 million in revenue in just two years. But while this pace feels familiar in tech, healthcare has always been slower to adopt new tools. That may finally be changing.Kent Bennett and Sofia Guerra of Bessemer Venture Partners join Steve Kraus to unpack findings from Bessemer's State of AI 2025 report and what they mean for healthcare. From “supernovas” and “shooting stars” to the rise of systems of action, they explore how AI is reshaping not only software businesses but also the way doctors, health systems, and patients interact with technology.We cover:
