What really happens to the people who hurt you when they die? The narcissist. The abuser. The one who broke you and never once looked back. Is there justice waiting for them on the other side, or something far more surprising, far more humbling, and far more healing than anything a courtroom could ever deliver?  Michael welcomes back Suzanne Giesemann, former naval commander, one of the world's most respected evidential mediums, and the author of seventeen books, including her stunning new release Always Connected, for a conversation that covers the full spectrum of what it means to be human, to be hurt, and to finally understand why none of it, not one moment, was ever wasted. From two back-to-back readings with men she can only describe as monsters, to the missing boy found after three years through a dead crow and an X on a log, to the two words - here, open, that pulled her back from the edge of overwhelm, Suzanne delivers the kind of evidence-based, soul-level reassurance that only comes from someone who speaks to the other side every single day. This isn't about psychics getting it wrong. This is about what actually happens when the nervous system drops away, and every soul, without exception, is met by the one thing it never expected: love. Key Topics: What happens to truly evil people the moment they cross the veil, and why being met by unconditional love is, for them, the most shocking and disorienting experience imaginable. The two back-to-back readings that changed everything: the man who said "I was a monster," the man who wasn't yet allowed to speak, and the angelic escorts that functioned, with total love and zero tolerance, like cosmic MPs.  Why hell is not a place but a state of consciousness, and what the life review actually feels like for those who caused the most harm (hint: they feel every single thing they made others feel, in full).  The Sylvia Browne lesson: why even gifted psychics can get it catastrophically wrong, and the sacred triangle of coherence that separates genuine evidential mediumship from dangerous guesswork.  The missing boy, Jack Canton: the dead crow, the rushing river, the painted X on the log, the cairn, and how Suzanne's conversation with a boy in spirit led searchers to bone fragments three years after the Montecito mudslide took him.  Why empaths and sensitive souls keep attracting swizzle straws, and the fear-based belief buried beneath every relationship where you couldn't stop caring for someone who was hurting you.  The nervous system as filter: why narcissists genuinely cannot feel the pain they cause in a body, and why that filter vanishes the instant they cross the veil, making every wound they ever inflicted instantly, viscerally, undeniably real to them.  Hey, Spirit - the napkin that became a book deal over brunch: how Siri, a missing P and T, and a conversation with the VP of Hay House turned into Suzanne's most profound work yet.  Returning to base: the two-word practice - here, open, that instantly drops you out of overwhelm and back into pure awareness, no matter how many transparencies have piled up on the overhead projector.  What to do when someone you love has Alzheimer's and has gone non-communicative, and why soul-to-soul conversation in meditation may be the most healing gift you can offer them, and yourself. Spirit has never once told Suzanne, "I'm not fine" from the other side. Not once. Not the grief-stricken, not the traumatized, not even the ones who were cocooned and couldn't speak yet. Every single soul, without exception, is held, guided, and moving forward. That includes yours. That includes everyone you've lost. And the moment you stop hoping that's true and start knowing it, the way Suzanne does, is the moment everything changes. Join the Inspire Nation Soul Family!

The boys are back in a new rotating format and they came loaded. GMoney walks the crew through why 100% of your tax dollars have been absorbed by debt interest since 1982, courtesy of the Reagan-era Grace Commission, and makes the case that Bitcoin is not just a hedge but the exit ramp from the entire system. The GoFundMe government theory gets its fullest airing yet, touching on tokenization, open capital markets, the Clarity Act, and why Jamie Dimon is absolutely losing his mind. In between the macro theory, a Texas Bitcoin mine noise psyop gets debunked, CISA somehow posted its own passwords to GitHub for six months, and a former Mossad chief casually admits Israel has booby-trapped equipment in every country you can imagine. Then Canada decides to institutionalize a man for handing out pamphlets to MPs. Trump's physical exam drops: 30 out of 30 cognitive score, bruised hands from too many handshakes, and apparently looks 14 years younger than he is. The New York Giants also accidentally became a metaphor for America.

Nearly a year after workers voted to authorize a strike, non-union city and commercially contracted security officers in Baltimore, MD, walked off the job on April 9 on an Unfair Labor Practice strike against their employers, Abacus Corporation, Metropolitan Protective Services, and Urban Development Solutions. Now, Local 32BJ of the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) say that workers have been retaliated against by Metropolitan Protective Services (MPS), alleging that the city contractor "fired and harassed workers following [the] lawful strike." MPS denies these allegations and claims "that no employees have been terminated due to union involvement." In this episode of Working People, we speak with Victoria Cox, a former MPS employee who worked to reach the rank of sergeant, and Daril Riley, a former MPS employee who reached the rank of corporal. Both Cox and Riley have had their shifts taken off the schedule—and, essentially, their jobs taken away—and both have been put under investigation by MPS since the strike in April.

(MPSI) maintains that no employees have been terminated due to union involvement. We fully support our employees' right to choose whether or not to join a union.   The individuals recently removed from the schedule were terminated for failing to maintain the current Maryland guard license required by the Maryland State Police. Regarding Sergeant Cox, she was removed from the schedule at the specific request of the client following multiple advisements regarding violations of client policy and insubordination.   Of our 175 employees, only six have been removed from the schedule or terminated, all due to licensing issues or performance concerns. We find these allegations to be without merit and believe they are being used by the union to exert pressure on the company.   Furthermore, we have received reports of union representatives harassing employees who chose not to join, including unauthorized site visits and the use of derogatory language. MPSI is currently considering filing a cease and desist order and a harassment lawsuit to protect the rights of our staff. Our priority remains protecting all employees, regardless of their union status.

As the United States approaches its 250th anniversary, the Constitution remains the most consequential document in American life — and more people are reading it than ever. But pick up almost any commercial edition and you'll find the same thing: small type, no imagery, nothing that invites you in. Jessie McGuire noticed this too. Find bonus content and more on our Substack: https://designbetterpodcast.com/p/jessie-mcguire Every copy her studio ordered looked identical — dense, utilitarian, forgettable. So they redesigned it. They printed thousands of copies, donated them to New York City schools, and invited designers like Milton Glaser and Seymour Chwast to create posters for each amendment in the Bill of Rights. That project became a turning point — not just for the studio, but for how they think about what design is actually for. Jessie is Managing Partner of Thought Matter, the independent design and creative studio that just won the 2026 National Design Award for Communication Design from the Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum — the field's highest national honor. It's an award that recognizes not a single project but a decade of practice, and Thought Matter's practice has been built around a bold idea: that imagination is a radical act. A Salvadoran-American designer, New Yorker, and mother of two, Jessie brings a perspective shaped by navigating spaces that weren't always designed for her. She teaches entrepreneurship at Pratt, mentors emerging designers, and leads a studio that works with cultural institutions, nonprofits, and commercial brands — all grounded in the belief that design is civic infrastructure, a tool for helping people see themselves as participants in shaping the world around them. In this episode, Jessie talks about the origin of the Constitution project, what it means to fund the work you actually want to talk about, why she thinks scale and speed aren't serving us, and why sitting down to make something with your hands — like the beaded bracelets she makes with her kids — still matters. Bio Jessie McGuire is Managing Partner of Thought Matter, the independent design studio that won the 2026 National Design Award for Communication Design from Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum — the field's highest national honor.

A Salvadoran-American designer and mother, Jessie is committed to expanding who gets to lead in the design industry. She teaches entrepreneurship at Pratt Institute, lectures on design as civic infrastructure, and mentors emerging designers. Before Thought Matter, she worked in-house at Kimberly-Clark and led projects for multinational brands.

Ministerial resignations, letters of no confidence, and Andy Burnham's determination to return to Westminster have rocked Keir Starmer's premiership. Plenty of twists and turn await in the coming weeks, with the work of government continuing under a cloud of uncertainty. So how can a prime minister lead a government if their authority is being questioned by their own MPs? What would a Labour leadership contest mean for the way government operates? What is the impact of this volatility on the civil service and the government's legislative programme? Do Wes Streeting's accusations of Starmer's lack of vision and direction stack up – and, if so, how should this or another PM approach the job in a different way? To discuss all these questions, and make sense of what a return to chaos means for British government, this expert IfG webinar featured: Dr Catherine Haddon, Senior Fellow at the Institute for Government Alex Thomas, Executive Director for Impact and Influence at the Institute for Government Giles Wilkes, Senior Fellow at the Institute for Government The event was chaired by Dr Hannah White, Director and CEO of the Institute for Government.

In this powerful and inspiring podcast episode, Dr. Foojan sits down with Behnam Bakhshandeh, Ph.D., MPS — internationally recognized executive coach, business coach, organizational development expert, leadership trainer, motivational speaker, and author of 18 transformational books. With more than 30 years of experience in executive coaching, leadership development, workplace performance, emotional intelligence, productivity, and personal transformation, Dr. Behnam shares life-changing insights on how to unlock human potential and achieve true greatness. Learn more at Primeco Education In this deep and motivational conversation, Dr. Behnam explores the growing impact of life coaching, executive coaching, business coaching, personal development, and transformational leadership in today's world. He shares practical strategies for overcoming limiting beliefs, building confidence, increasing productivity, improving self-awareness, mastering emotional intelligence, and creating authentic success in both personal and professional life. The discussion also highlights Dr. Behnam's groundbreaking book, The Conspiracy for Greatness, a powerful guide to self-improvement, leadership excellence, mindset mastery, personal growth, and high-performance living. He reveals the inspiring journey behind revising his first self-published book from 2008 into a newly expanded second edition published with Taylor & Francis. Expanding from 440 pages to 542 pages, the book reflects his remarkable path from immigrant beginnings to becoming a respected psychologist, executive coach, educator, and bestselling author. Throughout the episode, Dr. Behnam explains the true meaning of greatness and why many people fail to recognize the extraordinary potential already within themselves. He discusses how greatness develops through purpose, discipline, talent, self-awareness, accountability, authenticity, resilience, and emotional healing. He also shares how feedback from others often reveals hidden strengths before individuals can fully see them on their own. Dr. Foojan and Dr. Behnam dive into powerful topics including: • Executive coaching and leadership development • Personal transformation and mindset mastery • Emotional intelligence and authentic leadership • Productivity and peak performance • Organizational psychology and workplace success • Self-awareness and overcoming self-doubt • Vision vs. mission in life and business • Building confidence, fulfillment, and purpose • Human behavior, relationships, and communication • Vulnerability, courage, and emotional healing • Entrepreneurship, coaching, and business growth One of the most inspiring moments of the conversation comes when Dr. Behnam vulnerably shares a childhood experience of comparing himself to his brother — a moment that unconsciously fueled his lifelong drive for achievement, success, and proving self-worth. He explains how healing those internal stories can transform leadership, relationships, happiness, and personal fulfillment. The episode also explores the three most important relationships in life: the relationship with yourself, the relationship with others, and how those relationships shape leadership effectiveness, communication, emotional wellbeing, productivity, and success. Dr. Behnam further explains the critical difference between vision and mission: vision is rooted in “being,” while mission is rooted in “doing.” Reflecting on his transition from owning a successful construction company to becoming a transformational coach and educator, he shares how purpose-driven work created deeper meaning, inner peace, impact, confidence, and fulfillment. Whether you are a coach, entrepreneur, executive, therapist, business leader, student, or someone seeking personal growth and life purpose, this episode delivers actionable wisdom, transformational insights, and powerful strategies to help you become the best version of yourself. Watch now and discover how to unlock your hidden greatness, overcome internal limitations, develop authentic confidence, and create a life filled with meaning, success, fulfillment, leadership, and impact.

Keir Starmer is (currently!) vowing to lead Britain through its current crisis — but are his supporters falling away? James Lyons, Starmer's former Director of Communications at Number 10, joins Julia to dissect the Prime Minister's extraordinary resilience — or delusion, depending on who you ask. With U-turns piling up, MPs briefing against him, and a leadership circus consuming Westminster, Lyons gives an insider's view of the man at the centre of it all.Then it's the by-election that has been branded the ‘most significant in 50 years'. Andy Burnham is heading to Makerfield — a seat that voted 65% for Brexit, where Reform swept the recent local elections. Is this a bold political gamble to prove he can beat Reform UK… or a catastrophic miscalculation? And did Wes Streeting's comments about wanting to rejoin the EU deliberately torpedo Burnham's chances before he's even on the ballot?Richard Tice, Deputy Leader of Reform UK, makes the case that his party are throwing everything at Makerfield — and explains why he thinks the Tories are simply irrelevant. He also faces tough questions on Nigel Farage's undisclosed £5 million gift from crypto billionaire Christopher Harbour, the Standards Commissioner investigation, and whether Reform can actually govern if civil servants go on strike.Plus: TikTok censors a Reform immigration video using the Online Safety Act — and Julia asks whether Nadine Dorries has repented for helping create it.Julia Hartley-Brewer broadcasts on Talk from Monday to Thursday, 10AM to 1PM.Available on YouTube and streaming platforms, along with DAB+ radio and your smart speaker.

Britain's past politicians were no better—often far worse—than today's MPs.Were Britain's past politicians really more honourable than today's? Or is nostalgia blinding us to just how corrupt, violent, and self-serving many of them actually were?In this episode of History Rage, host Paul Bavill is joined by historian, author, and Get History founder Debbie Kilroy to rage against one of Britain's most persistent political myths: that historic MPs were somehow morally superior to the modern lot.Drawing on over 400 years of parliamentary history, Debbie dismantles the rose-tinted view of Britain's political past, revealing a parade of bigamists, slave traders, duelists, bribe-takers, fraudsters, and outright psychopaths who once sat comfortably in Parliament.From Norman MacLeod kidnapping his own tenants into slavery, to Lord Cardigan's cruelty, incompetence, and vanity, to the systemic corruption that brought down figures like Francis Bacon and David Lloyd George, this episode exposes how power, privilege, and political protection enabled shocking behaviour—often without consequences.Along the way, Debbie explains:Why we keep romanticising historic politiciansHow corruption adapted rather than disappeared over timeWhy reforms like the 1832 Reform Act only scratched the surfaceHow crowds, riots, and popular protest once held MPs to accountWhy the system itself—not just individuals—remains the problemThis is not a defence of modern politics—but a warning against pretending the past was cleaner, fairer, or more honest. Politicians, Debbie argues, haven't changed. What's changed is what they can get away with.About the Guest: Debbie KilroyDebbie Kilroy is a historian, writer, and the creator of the popular history platform Get History.
