April is Autism Awareness Month and we’re celebrating with a special podcast conversation featuring author and speaker Emily Colson. Emily and her 30-year-old son Max who lives with autism are on a heart-filled mission for you! Like many families living with disability, their world shifted in an instant when the pandemic shut down all systems of support. But as they faced a new normal during a challenging quarantine, Emily prayed: “How can we be a blessing to someone else every day?”With this prayer, she and Max began to paint. As Max painted beautiful joy-filled hearts on yard signs, he and Emily began delivering these encouraging hearts across their community. Now months later, listen as Emily shares God’s creative answer to her prayer and how the blessing of Max’s heart ministry has reached further than she could have imagined.Order Your Heart by Max CardsLearn More About Joni and Friends' Church Training Resources Questions or comments?

This is a great story for neophyte entrepreneurs. If you are fearful of striking out on your own, or if you believe there are no new niches to develop in the current marketplace, think again. These motivated co-founders will explain how hard work, a strong sense of responsibility and a passion for creating an outstanding customer service environment can take a committed young entrepreneur a long way. First, let's introduce Miles Adams. Miles received his undergraduate education at George Washington University with majors in Economics and History. He followed up with an MA in International Relations at the University of St. Andrews (Scotland). His first jobs in banking and consulting left him unfulfilled and uninspired, so he began the hunt for something that would excite him. He thought he might be interested in becoming involved with a startup, thus he began to research. He ended up networking with a couple of British entrepreneurs who offered him a position with their startup cremation business, Tulip Cremation. Miles became their operations manager with no previous experience, but with an abundance of enthusiasm. He was impressed by Tulip's commitment to customer service as well as their desire to restructure pricing and to challenge similar but outmoded business models. The company was eventually bought, and Miles moved on to create his own cremation business. He had absorbed a great deal and was confident he was now ready to begin a startup of his own. Max Lemper-Tabatsky started out consulting after he finished school at Connecticut College where he majored in Economics and Sociology. He met Miles when they were consultants for the same company. Max, too, felt that consulting work was underwhelming. And while Miles moved on to the cremation startup, Max thought he wanted to travel for a while and explore other possible opportunities. He was looking for something that offered more mobility, and would draw on his creativity and need for independence. He wanted work that would lend itself to personal growth. He left his steady job for those purposes, but then Covid-19 hit. His immediate travel plans needed to change. He got in touch with Max and well, as you'll hear, the rest is very recent history. Together Miles and Max, with their company Loyal, have reimagined a business that many don't like to think about. It is also one that up until lately, has not changed much in many years. As Max says, “It isn't sexy.” But with fresh eyes, some newly acquired experience and knowledge of modern technology, Miles and Max have created a new niche in an old industry. With the unfortunate onset of the pandemic, they are now truly utilizing their skills to help many families deal with the end of life process for a loved one. They both pivoted early on in their careers into jobs they now find fulfilling and challenging. Listen to them describe how their business has caused them to stretch, grow and learn. You will be energized by their enthusiasm and sincerity. Listen to this success story and you might come to believe there's a place for you too somewhere in today's new e-commerce world.   Topics in this episode: Why making mistakes early can be a good thing How to choose a business partner for the right reasons How mindfulness can help your business The importance of synergy in working relationships and with customers How e-commerce can revitalize old industries when you think outside the box What does it take to move out of your safety zone?

Episode 30 - As Max enters the Ark - he finds out his reputation had gotten there first - and what a reputation it is!   The Noah's Ark story from the animals themselves!

As Max's life hangs in the balance, we travel back in time to learn how he and Georgia first fell in love. Emily hates science, and Polly name-drops King Arthur.

Mark’s great friend, Democrat Congressman Max Rose, joins him on the podcast today. Max is a graduate of Wesleyan University and the London School of Economics, who has served as an active duty officer in Afghanistan from 2012-2013 and earned a Bronze Star, Purple Heart, and Combat Infantry Badge. Max is Ranger-qualified, continues to serve in the National Guard, and is the first post-9/11 combat veteran to represent New York City. The passage he has chosen to discuss with Mark is Exodus 32:4, the passage which he has decided will be his son’s Bar Mitzvah portion 13 years from now. Max begins today’s discussion by sharing his summary of the passage and how it provides an example of speaking truth to power, and then he and Mark offer differing perspectives on Aaron’s leadership within it. They follow with an in depth investigation into the nature of leadership both in the passage and in the world today, particularly in relation to Max’s work with the military and in politics, and they review the moral obligation we all have to question authority as Moses did. The conversation finishes with Max sharing the lessons he has learned about mankind. Today’s episode exemplifies the beauty of the Torah in its openness to interpretation as well as its timeless guidance. As Max states, everyone has an opportunity to lead at some point in their lives, and today’s passage and resulting analysis offer listeners valuable perspective to consider when their opportunity arrives. Episode Highlights: Max’s summary of the passage Speaking truth to power Differing perspectives on Aaron’s leadership The hardest thing to do in leadership The moral obligation to question authority Strong leadership in times of failure The lessons which Max has learned about mankind Quotes: “Moses subsequently speaks truth to power…pushes back upon God using God’s own words.” “One could also argue he bought some time.” “We don’t teach leadership enough to young people.” “Who among us knows what we would do if we were in Aaron’s position?” “It is confidence in God. It is confidence that God will not put ego first, will not put arrogance first, but that God will put His own sense of moral clarity, moral consistency, and rightness first.” “Moses always defends his people externally, and criticizes them internally.” “He leads his leader.” “We have far too much arrogance in our society today.” Exodus 32:4 This he took from them and cast in a mold, and made it into a molten calf. And they exclaimed, “This is your god, O Israel, who brought you out of the land of Egypt!” https://www.sefaria.org/Exodus.32.4 Links: The Rabbi’s Husband homepage: http://therabbishusband.com/ Mark’s Twitter: https://twitter.com/markgerson?lang=en

K.B. Wagers is the author of A PALE LIGHT IN THE BLACK (HarperVoyager). It’s a good vibes military space opera that follows the Near Earth Orbital Guard, essentially a spacefaring Coast Guard protecting humanity within our solar system. The Neo-G crew of the Interceptor ship Zuma’s Ghost prepares for the annual Boarding Games — a multi-military competition which carries huge prestige, bragging rights, and useful inter-branch clout. But this tight-knit found family faces destabilization as their lieutenant commander is promoted off the ship, replaced with Maxine Carmichael, a capable but awkward young woman whose family name carries a great deal of influence and baggage. As Max works to gel with the team’s volatile mechanic and conflicted captain, their Neo-G missions uncover a strange pattern of interconnected mysteries — worried smugglers who die suspiciously in military custody, colony ships lost for generations turning up without their suspended animation crews, and corporate intrigues that might just haunt Max’s own family’s company. A PALE LIGHT IN THE BLACK is diverse and accessible science fiction that arrives March 3rd from Harper Voyager books.

This brand experience is a result of one of the following things- or maybe a combination of several of these.  The right attitude and behaviors within the employee- Amanda is just like this. It’s who she is and what makes her tick. Whether the bank intended to hire her on purpose to capture this behavior is unlikely However her attitude and behaviors are what opened the opportunity to have the job. The right training to show her how she can help- Someone connected the dots and said “if you see this; Then this is what you should do” The right leadership to allow her to make this call. She’s a teller at a bank AND she’s able to make account decisions without someone approving. TRUST The right customer- I have more than one account and I’ve been loyal to the bank, They’ve financed two cars, They’ve given me seed money to start Done Desk, I have money in the bank, I pay my bills. I am the right customer to receive this extra attention. When Amanda Executed: The Brand Was Elevated I’m not just ‘satisfied’, I’m thrilled I directly benefitted from her engagement in her job I trust her because she cares I become more loyal- and make a podcast about the experience. This is why we created High Trust Practice, So let’s look at applying this to your practice. Right now. A few questions and a few ideas. Do you have the right people who are interested in supporting your brand? As Max says “do they get it, want it, and can do it’? Have you trained them on what it means to provide quality care, your expectations of them, and connect the dots for them in their work. Are you honing your skills as a leader, setting the right expectations, hiring the right people, and shedding people that don’t fit? Are you hearing your patients, addressing their needs, teaching them about a relationship with you, and do your people put the patient’s first?

Mystery upon mystery! We need to start questioning if Odin has sent Paul to the human realm to level-up, because who claims they are turning a crap-tacular Anime into a learning experience? A pawn sent to earth, that’s who! Meanwhile, Eddie counts all the Conans he knows, but doesn’t realize that he is the mystery that Sherlock is trying to crack. As Max continues to live in the clouds, it has finally become helpful in his Anime watching experience, because the story he is telling himself is better than what’s on the screen. Lastly, Suzi, the only one who seems to be enjoying the new segment, makes for an interesting conversation on suicide. Join us on this action-packed episode of You’re Stuck With It!   

It’s a brand-new year, a brand-new decade—and a brand-new series!  “For the Love of Faith Icons” finds Jen talking to some of the most well-loved leaders in the faith, the kinds of folks who have had a chance to see themselves and the world evolve spiritually, and who can handle our biggest questions while admitting they have their own. We couldn’t be more pleased to start off these inspiring and thought-provoking discussions with none other than the beloved pastor and speaker Max Lucado. For decades, Max has been leading us with warmth and good humor, gently asking us to think about who we are in the world as people of faith and what we’re striving to represent, especially in these divisive times. Max and Jen talk about some of the biggest issues on our minds—namely, what unity can look like among different groups who disagree with one another among believers and non-believers alike. Max implores us to work together to communicate, to love one another, and to model this for others. As Max says, “We can be respectful. We do not have the right to be arrogant and to point a finger. Of all the people who should not be arrogant it is those of us who believe we are saved by grace.”

Every person has important gifts that need to be shared with others and the church, but many families face real challenges with finding acceptance and a place to serve. Today on the podcast, Crystal is sharing a powerful message of hope from Emily Colson, daughter of the late Chuck Colson and mother to Max, her adult son who has a diagnosis of autism. Emily’s perfect world turned upside down following a painful divorce when Max was just a baby. As Max grew, challenges with autism became increasingly difficult for Emily…she was able to go out less and less and eventually even stopped going to church altogether. Emily never imagined that she’d be so disconnected from the spiritual life of the church because of Max’s diagnosis. But God used the words of Joni Eareckson Tada to encourage Emily’s heart: “Your church would be so blessed to have people with autism running up and down the aisles.” Emily took those words to heart and decided to find a way for her family to cross the threshold of the church. Listen as Emily shares how she ventured out in a creative way and how her church has been blessed through accepting and embracing Max as an indispensable part of the body of Christ. ...Do you know someone who has been disconnected from the body of Christ because of disability? We would love to connect you with a Christ-honoring, disability-friendly church in your area.  Email podcast@joniandfriends.org.Are you a leader who wants to learn more about how you can embrace people with disabilities in your church?

Max rushes to the back of the tanker, hoping to cut the lines that impede the War Rig’s escape, but for every line cut, another one replaces it. As Max struggles against the plow cars, a large tow truck, brimming with harpoons, attacks the Rig, tearing away a large portion of the roof and killing another one of the Vuvalini. Max is able to cut the last harpoon chain as the polecats arrive. Special Guests: Rob, Joe, and Duff from A Free Podcast

The final pre season game of the season is Tuesday (10/15) night in Cleveland. As Max stated, half the team didn't travel but... it's Cleveland so who cares? Max and Josue are already moved on to bigger and better things like, a DEEP DIVE (as "deep" as Max will "dive") into his expectations for the Celtics and who/what are the keys to Brad Stevens, Kemba Walker, Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown, leading their squad back to contention in the east.   Cornbread lays it all on the line in his FIRST Celtics related podcast since the Kyrie Irving era came to an end in Boston.

Continuing our streak of having decision-makers on our podcast, with us today is Max Altschuler. Max is the founder of SalesHacker which was acquired by Outreach, where he is now the VP of Marketing. Max was also the cofounder of CMX which was acquired by Bevy. Max has a deep knowledge and background in creating communities. We are going to talk about the growing trend of communities getting acquired, how can you start a community from scratch, what to focus on when creating value in a community to have an impact on a company's core product and much more.Too Long; Didn't ListenThere is a growing trend of communities getting acquired by companies. Max believes it's all about providing value to your potential customers through communities. With a community, a company can offer an immense value that in the end, encourages community members to ask about the product. This is the reason why companies are acquiring communities as it helps in their sales funnel.Max also shares his advice on what every community manager needs to do when building a new one from scratch, focus on authenticity. Being authentic helps you to connect with like-minded individuals, Max pointed out that the best communities like SaaStr and CMX were built through authenticity.And for metrics, Max shares with us how they rely on vanity metrics like how many people attend their webinars. But they are also focusing on the deeper side of things like loyalty and engagement. As Max points out, when you spend money and time on creating content, you want people to keep coming back to you and not just read an article and leave. That's what a community is all about. You want every member to continuously engage with you.

As Max and Paul continue exploring the Animeverse, will they ever shut up about the Viz Manga App? Probably not, but it is what it is. On this episode, Anime Compost records their final episode on Dr. Stone. Although it may be the last time they cover Dr. Stone, they discuss why this anime is unique. The duo then discusses how they would want to revive the world if they were the main character of series.

As Max returns from Lviv Ukraine where he offered a course on Bayesian thinking, he shares his knowledge and insights. - What are the drawbacks and limitations to Bayes rule vs other approaches? - Is probability objective or subjective? - How did Larry David illustrates argument by analogy? - The von Mises brothers include one free market economist (Ludwig) and one statistician (Richard) - what did they have to say on this topic? - What's the problem with a Flat Earth Prior?

Set in present day, the family comedy, "Sydney to the Max," features flashbacks to the 1990s and revolves around outgoing middle schooler Sydney who lives with her single dad Max, in the house he grew up in, along with her progressive grandmother Judy – played by the incomparable Caroline Rhea. As Max tries to get a better sense of how to guide his preteen daughter, we see flashbacks of his childhood and how his antics with his buddy Leo in the 90s parallel the funny predicaments his daughter, Sydney, faces with her best friend, Olive, in present day.

As Max fixes the brakes on the fuel pod and frees himself from his muzzle, Furiosa and the wives quickly find that they have a stowaway. Nux bursts up through the floor and throws a length of chain around Furiosa’s neck. Angharad and the other wives are quick to act, subduing the War Boy and stopping Furiosa from cutting his throat. Special Guests: Tom Taylor and Pete Mummert from The Indiana Jone Minute

Tread Perilously continues its primetime soaps months with the late 90s sci-fi teen drama Roswell. Specifically, a third season episode called "Control." As Max continues his attempt to save his son, his journey leads him to a big shot Hollywood producer who happens to be one of the shapeshifting bodyguards sent to protect him fifty years prior. When Max discovers the producer must obey his direct orders, they plan to steal their UFO back from a nearby Air Force base. Meanwhile, Isabel is stunned to discover no one is excited about her upcoming wedding to Jesse. Also, Liz and Maria are in this episode. Erik and Justin quickly get derailed to discuss Star Trek, which was also a UPN series for a time. They also express their puzzlement over Ronald D. Moore's producer role on Outlander. Colin Hanks gets compared to Chloe Sullivan, but NOT Allison Mack. Erik suspects Roswell may have been the source of some of Twilight's characters and structure. Both are surprised by Jason Behr's performance. They also cannot figure out why everyone is mad at Max and Isabel's adoptive mother. A close-up look at one scene leads Justin to soften his opinion on Katherine Heigl and Erik recalls the interim technology of the early 21st Century.

Despite having just jumped from a speeding vehicle, Max is able to lift himself enough to the see the plane fly overhead, and see one last glimpse of the people inside. Nearby, a charred and broken arm reaches from inside a wreckage towards a mask mounted to an iron bar, raising a defiant gesture before falling limp. As Max moves to stand, he is stopped by Aunty’s guards. She approaches him and smirks, saying “well, ain’t we a pair…”. Special Guest: Brad Mull from The Lost World Minute

As Max settles in behind the wheel of the cowhide car, Scrooloose makes his way to the front of Max’s old camel-drawn wagon and disables the driver with a mighty swing of his frying pan. The wagon veers in front of the generator train and sideswipes another vehicle which rouses the concussed guard. A second swing of the frying pan puts an end to him, and soon Scrooloose finds himself in, what could be considered, control of the vehicle as it speeds along.

As Max sits by the fire with Savannah and her crew tied up nearby, he has no idea that Scrooloose is sneaking around behind him. He is shaken awake the next morning by Anna Goanna who informs Max that Savannah and her cohorts were freed during the night and the lot of them have disappeared into The Nothing. Anna drags Max out to the edge of the desert where they find Slake and the other Waiting Ones looking out at the endless expanse of sand.

As Max holds a stereoscope toy to his face, Slake proceeds to insert a series of slides depicting images of Sydney landmarks including the city skyline, the harbor bridge, and the opera house. Following the slideshow, Savannah continues with The Tell describing how Captain Walker gathered up a party and departed into the desert. But before they left, Walker told the others to wait, because one of them would return once they had found civilization. Special Guest: Shem Herman from Mad Max Bible

As Max tosses away the ridiculous mascot head that obscured his sense of direction and quickly discovers that not only has his horse died, but the water that was used to bait the horse into the desert is empty. Max doesn’t get much time to plan his next move as the beast is suddenly swallowed by quicksand and Max is forced to scramble up a nearby dune to safety. Max reaches the top of the dune and is miraculously met by Sally-Anne, allowing Max to take a drink.

As The Wheel spins, lights pass across Max’s fate, each option highlighting a different punishment, some more gratuitous than others, but none of them without their own drawbacks. The air is thick with anticipation as the wheel slows passing treacherously over Aunty’s Choice ultimately settling on Gulag. As Max sees his fate before him the spectators around the Thunderdome begin to chant max’s punishment, as Aunty looks on, satisfied with the result. Special Guests: Andy Nelson & Steve Sarmento from The Next Reel

As Blaster is attended to by the guards, Dr. Dealgood turns his attention to his second fighter, a stranger who has wandered in out of the wasteland. Though he doesn’t remember his name, he nonetheless introduces the crowd to Max which elicits boos and hisses from the spectators. As Max is fitted for the fight the captives from Underworld arrive to watch the fight and weapons are passed hand-over-hand to hang from hooks inside the dome, ripe for the taking. Special Guests: Jonathan Howell & Chris Ramirez from Minute Impossible

Max Boot is a foreign policy commentator and historian. Just this week he was named a contributing writer to the Op-ed page of the Washington Post. He is the author of several books;  his most recent is The Road Not Taken: Edward Lansdale and the American Tragedy in Vietnam  Lansdale was a CIA officer who was the inspiration behind the title character of the famous Graham Green novel, The Quiet American. As Max explains Lansdale pioneered a "hearts and minds" approach to the Vietnam quandary and sought to avoid a massive American military buildup in Vietnam, but was ultimately overruled.  We discuss this history in detail and also the relevance of Lansdale to American foreign policy today. We then have an extended conversation about Max's background, including his own intellectual evolution. And here, Max explains how the Trump administration is causing him to re-think certain assumptions he once held as a movement conservative and Republican.   

High above the wasteland, Max drifts in and out of consciousness following his ordeal out on the road. Whisked along by the Gyro Captain, Max allows himself to fall asleep only to wake up inside the infirmary of the compound with his wounds dressed. Noises above him are revealed to be the Feral Child who has been holding on to Max’s gear. As Max sits up he discovers that he’s not alone, and Max comes face to face with what remains of the Quiet Man.

As Max replaces the booby trap under the Black-on-black, the Feral Child drops from the pipes above and sneaks into the car. Hearing the Feral Child scurrying about, and the twinkling of the music box, Max quickly discovers the kid and tells him to get out. The Feral Child is determined to leave with the Road Warrior, but Max isn’t having it and using the music box He gets the Feral Child out of his car, and turns his back on the disappointed child.

The compound is in sight as Max makes the last push through the raiders. Suddenly, Max is blindsided by Wez, who punches through the side window nearly trying to pull Max out of the rig. As Max fights off the raider in his window, more marauders close in on the rig, shooting at the tires. Not content to be an observer, the Gyro Captain drops one of his snakes onto a raider, causing them to panic and crash, giving Max the time to make it inside the compound.

With the coast clear, Max picks up his gas cans once again and continues onward, following the pointed directions provided by the Feral Child. As Max disappears once again into the night, the Feral Child watches him go. By dawn’s light, Max has reached his camp atop the ridge to find the Gyro Captain has absconded with the tree he was chained to, and with a weary look, Max begins the long trek back to the Rig he saw two days earlier.

As Max is searched, the compound dwellers begin to take Nathan away on a stretcher, but Big Rebecca gets angry with Pappagallo, upset over the scout’s injuries, a situation The Curmudgeon uses to serve up a few I-told-you-so’s. Max is led inside the compound and a team is instructed do the same to the black-on-black. Once within the walls, Pappagallo approaches Max looking for information about His identity, and more importantly, the other scouts.

Content Warning: Sexual Assault/Rape. As Max tends to the injured scout, the man thanks Max profusely, but He is not there for gratitude, He wants gasoline. Seeing Max as his only way to safety, the scout promises as much petrol as He wants so long as he returns him to the compound. Max brings the man back to the compound, and we meet The Feral Child. Along for the ride is Curtis Bloes from Better Off Dead Minute: The Podcast.

Last week we talked about briefing the approach and said one of the first things you should do is check to see whether GPS is in the title of the approach. For example, you might look to see whether the title is just VOR 21 approach or if it’s VOR 21 OR GPS. If it’s the latter, it’s obvious you can use GPS in lieu of a VOR signal for the entire approach. But what’s less clear is when you can use GPS for a portion of the approach if it says just VOR 21 and doesn’t have GPS in the title of the approach. Although GPS receivers have been around for over 20 years, pilots are still unclear as to when they can use GPS on non-GPS approaches such as ILS and VOR approaches. As Max explains, the rules are different for VOR and ILS approaches. The regulatory basis can be found in FAA Advisory Circular AC 90-108, dated March 3, 2011, and in the AIM, the Aeronautical Information Manual, in section 1-2-3, sub-paragraphs c4 and c-5, updated May 26, 2016. These tell us that for a VOR or NDB approach, you can now use GPS for the entire approach, even if GPS is not listed in the title of the approach. So in our example, if the title of the approach is VOR 21, and GPS is not in the title, you can still now use GPS for the entire approach, but with one caveat. The VOR or NDB signal MUST be in service, and you MUST monitor that signal for the final approach course. But for an ILS or Localizer approach, as soon as you turn onto a localizer or ILS, you need to display course guidance from the Nav radio. On the Garmin 430/530, that means as soon as you turn onto the localizer, you must push the CDI button so VLOC is displayed. You can, if you wish, monitor RNAV (GPS) data as you fly along a localizer, but GPS cannot be used for primary guidance at any time while on a localizer.

As Max tries to read the Coach K biopic, we take a look at another "ripped from the headlines" script: Titanic. Also, an update on Thaw and we attempt to land a sponsor!

As Max continues to survey the compound, the Gyro Captain is at his ear assuring Max that he has the best potential of getting inside and petitioning for his release. Lowering his binoculars, Max seems annoyed by this request and instead chains the Gyro Captain to a nearby log. Rising in protest, the Gyro Captain is quickly put in his place by Max who reckons that the Captain is rather well off, all things considered.

With Toecutter disposed of, Max turns his sight back to Johnny the Boy, the last remaining crim on his hit list. As Max drives into the prohibited zone once again the sun goes down and though his eyes are heavy, Max refuses to succumb to sleep and the next morning finds something that may lead him to the man he’s after. Along the way we wonder how much time has really passed, call attention to a deleted scene, and propose an alternate storyline wherein Max would find redemption. We are joined by special guest Alex Robinson from www.starwarsminute.com. Visit us at our Website: www.madmaxminute.com

Linden called into Variety Radio Online to talk to Brancey about his upcoming movie Beta Test. From producer/writer/director Nicholas Gyeney, and produced by Mirror Images LTD, comes BETA TEST a sci-fi action thriller that’s “a cross between the intimate suspense of Die Hard and the 21st century chaos of Gamer”. The film’s storyline revolves around Max Troy (Tate, House of Lies, Rush), a Seattle-based video game champion and game tester who is about to test the latest game sensation from global video game juggernaut, Sentinel. As Max begins his procedural dissection of the game, he begins to realize this new game is not like any other. As Max completes new tasks, events in the real world begin to mirror them. Soon, Max uncovers a deep-rooted conspiracy from within the walls of Sentinel, which leads him to discover that the game’s protagonist, Orson Creed (Bennett, Arrow, The Hobbit), is a real man, in the real world. If Max can somehow join forces with Creed, together they may have a chance at unraveling this conspiracy before the tasks in the game escalate and overwhelm their city. Yuji Okumoto (Karate Kid Part II, Inception, The Game), and Linden Ashby (Mortal Kombat, Teen Wolf, Wyatt Earp) also star. BETA TEST will be released in approximately 15 US theaters July 22nd.

Five months into the podcast, the Priority team is starting over—or, at least, talking about starting over. Our hosts don't decide on a topic until after they start recording, and a wide-ranging discussion of fresh starts (and grocery store life hacks?) ensues. As Max points out, it's often the not-so-fresh-start, picking up the project anew each day, that gets us where we're going. Caitie agrees, and observes that so much of the magic of the fresh start is, in fact, sleight of hand. We create the illusion of change, or trick ourselves into making better choices. But whether you are after real change, or just need a momentary shot of inspiration, today's episode of Priority has something for everybody. If you're new to the show, give yourself the gift a fresh start, and listen to this one.

Sometimes it seems that innovators and value-adders just can't win. They're dammed if they do and dammed if they don't. Fly too close to the sun and your wings melt. Fly too far away and you achieve nothing. As Max and Laurence discuss in the latest Naked Strategy, what entrepreneurs and risk-takers need to know is how close is too close, how far is far enough. They need to know where the line is and – if they're very lucky – develop some sort of sense as to when they're in danger of crossing it. Yet instead of celebrating those who try but fail to achieve everything they set out to achieve, society's army of second-guessers and armchair quarterbacks like nothing more than to criticise those who have tried to achieve something but failed. And then there are the politicians who spout the mantra of accountability when what they're really looking for is someone to blame. All of which makes up enough criticism and derision to make you wish you never tried to fly at all. So let's remember that there is a huge difference between someone who tries but fails to make something better and someone who is just doing a lousy job.
