The Knicks just won the NBA Finals — and José Alvarado led the Puerto Rican Day Parade the next morning. But while New York was celebrating, something else was quietly happening in the Caribbean: a US carrier strike group just parked itself 90 miles from Havana. Henry and Danny — with help from AI guest Tio Raul — break down the full arc of America's 125-year obsession with Cuba. From the first concentration camps in history, to the mob-run casino island Batista built for American business, to Fidel's guerrilla campaign on a 10-person yacht with 81 men aboard, to the Cuban tank crews that went and fought Israel on a mountain in Syria — this island punches so far above its weight it's almost unbelievable. They also get into why Cuba deployed nearly half a million troops to Angola over 16 years, how that campaign helped end apartheid in South Africa (and what Nelson Mandela himself said about it), and how Aroldis Chapman — the hardest thrower in baseball history — had to buy his freedom from a cartel for $30 million just to pitch in the majors. And then there's Marco Rubio, whose family left Cuba under Batista — not Castro — now sitting as Secretary of State with a carrier fleet and a personal vendetta shaping US foreign policy in real time. Someone just dropped $57,000 on a prediction market betting it all goes hot before the end of 2026. Tio Raul is powered by Maneku — the AI built for real conversations.

What do you know about Bolivia? If you’re like me, you knew about Evo Morales, the first indigenous president, known as the Nelson Mandela of the Andes. Well the former landholding elite is back in power. And the IMF dictated The post From Indigenous Power to Fury in the Streets appeared first on KDA Keeping Democracy Alive Podcast & Radio Show.

Some of the greatest writings in history were written from prison—like Martin Luther King Jr.'s Letter from Birmingham Jail, John Bunyan's Pilgrim's Progress, and Nelson Mandela's Autobiography. The Apostle Paul's letter to the Philippians is no different, but most people have never heard of it. Written from a Roman prison to a church he started in Philippi, Philippians is a short letter full of brilliant theology, no-nonsense wisdom, and tattoo-worthy one-liners that has sparked joy, resilience, humility, and more in the church ever since.

Like Father, Like Son Pastor Mark Havel Matthew 10:24-39“A disciple is not above the teacher, nor a slave above the master; it is enough for the disciple to be like the teacher, and the slave like the master. If they have called the master of the house Beelzebul, how much more will they malign those of his household!“So have no fear of them; for nothing is covered up that will not be uncovered, and nothing secret that will not become known. What I say to you in the dark, tell in the light; and what you hear whispered, proclaim from the housetops.“Do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul; rather fear him who can destroy both soul and body in hell. Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground apart from your Father. And even the hairs of your head are all counted. So do not be afraid; you are of more value than many sparrows.“Everyone therefore who acknowledges me before others, I also will acknowledge before my Father in heaven; but whoever denies me before others, I also will deny before my Father in heaven.“Do not think that I have come to bring peace to the earth; I have not come to bring peace, but a sword. For I have come to set a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law; and one's foes will be members of one's own household.“Whoever loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; and whoever loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me; and whoever does not take up the cross and follow me is not worthy of me. Those who find their life will lose it, and those who lose their life for my sake will find it.” My oldest son, Jackson, who is 22, spent a rainy morning with me on vacation in South Haven, Michigan, this past week, milling around a couple of antique stores there. (“Antique malls,” actually, is what the call them.) It has to be raining and/or vacation for me to do much resembling “antiquing,” but I was there for the nostalgia of seeing old toys from my childhood and whatever vinyl records I might find. Jack was there for the sports memorabilia and baseball cards. He scored a few of the latter and I found myself a pretty clean copy of Bruce Springsteen's “Darkness on the Edge of Town.”While we were looking through a treasure trove of old Sports Illustrated magazines – mostly from the 1970's and 80's – a stranger walked by, looked at Jack, then looked at me, then probably back at Jack, and declared, “Well that apple didn't fall far from the tree, did it?” We both laughed and I told him we'd heard that before. To which he said, with awe, “It's remarkable.” I don't always think we look THAT MUCH alike, though many of you have said so, over the years. But when a stranger notices and feels compelled to call it out in public, I guess there's no denying it.And it's always been a compliment to me – even if I can't always see it – that I share a resemblance with either of my boys. But anyone who's ever been 12 or 13 or 16 or 17 knows the LAST thing you'd count as a compliment is for someone to think you look like one of your parents.You know, those times in childhood and adolescence when you can't stand being seen with, let alone be seen as looking like, your mom or your dad. You know, those moments when kids stop holding mom's hands at the store; when they cringe anytime dad makes conversation with their friends; or when they rush from the car in the school drop-off line as if the vehicle was on fire.And all of this had me thinking about some of what I hear Jesus saying in this morning's Gospel. Specifically, it made me think of what it means when Jesus talks about acknowledging or denying God, the Father, in our daily lives.See, Jesus uses all sorts of images, illustrations and hyperbole today – and it's okay … important … faithful … and a relief, actually, to recognize some of this as exaggeration and hyperbole. All of this talk about peace and swords, setting family members against one another, about not being worthy of Jesus, is nothing more and nothing less than naming the seriousness of our call to be disciples and followers of Christ in the world. So I don't we need to take Jesus LITERALLY at every turn, this morning, as long as we take him SERIOUSLY. Because discipleship is a serious thing. It was in the days of the Jesus and it is meant to be, still. It calls for bold confession, faithful practice, and courageous action, more often than we're always inclined.And, remember, Jesus is talking to his first disciples today, knowing all sorts of persecutions and temptations are in store for them because of what he's asking. When he talks about coming “not for peace, but with a sword,” he's not doing away with his title as the Prince of Peace or with his command to love one another – AND our enemies. Jesus is saying that, too often, the kind of amazing, radical, counter-cultural, life-changing grace, mercy, and peace God offers is more than some people can handle. And that in order to really get it and to truly proclaim it and to faithfully share it means to surprise and to separate and to send people reeling from time to time.(If you need proof of the kind of threat that sort of grace is to some people, you should see some of the hateful, frightening comments I hid from my Facebook feed after posting just a clip from my last sermon. Among other things, you should know, I'm an evil, demonic, blaspheming, false prophet who's going straight to Hell – I deserve it – and I'm bringing all of you with me.)All of this is to say, Jesus wants his people – his people – to be realistic about, and ready for, the consequences of what real, faithful, kingdom-living may lead to in our lives and in this world.Because doing that well – living faithfully, I mean – is hard work. When you stand up for justice for the “least of these,” that often means challenging the systems that protect the powerful. When you speak truth to power, power doesn't always like what you have to say. When you speak the truth, even in love, the response is often denial and fear and hatred of that very truth and of those who proclaim it.And that kind of faithful living gets people like Martin Luther excommunicated. It gets people like Nelson Mandela thrown into jail, people like Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Martin Luther King, Jr., Renee Good, and Alex Pretti, killed. It gets women in some denominations thrown out of the pulpit. And, of course, all of it got Jesus, himself, crucified, too.And those are some tough shoes to fill. I wonder how many of us have had the opportunity or would have the courage and the faith to live out our faith like some of these giants. So we do our denying on a smaller scale, don't we? When we drive by the hungry person on the street corner… When we let the racist comment slide… When we laugh with the bullies or at the queer kids and the sexist jokes on the White House lawn... When we add our two cents to the gossip mill... When we vote with our self-interests, first.So what are we to do with Jesus' promise – or threat – when he says, “Everyone who acknowledges me before others, I also will acknowledge before my Father in heaven. And everyone who denies me before others, I will also deny before my father in heaven”?What I hear him saying isn't so much that those who deny Christ or fail at this call to faithful discipleship are doomed or damned for all eternity. It's not that if we don't live up to the high bar of King or Mandela or Bonhoeffer, we're out of luck. Remember, he also promises that we hold more value than many sparrows, who, even though they fall, are never beyond the reach of God's care.What I hear Jesus acknowledging is that God – the Father of all creation – knows, like so many good parents know, what it feels like to have his children deny or be embarrassed by their likeness to their Creator: to drop his hand at the grocery store, you might say; or rush by with friends to avoid any awkward conversations; or to shrink down in the seat and hurry from the car hoping no one notices who's in the driver's seat.What I hear Jesus saying to his disciples and to each of us, is that it's time to grow up. He's inviting us to embrace the claim of God, the Father, on our lives and to start living in the joy, responsibility, and challenge of that holy calling.Just like it's hard to pinpoint exactly when children begin distancing themselves from their annoying, embarrassing parents, it's difficult to pinpoint a precise moment when they begin to turn around and to start re-building those more mature bridges of relationship, connection, respect, and admiration, too.But, believe it or not, kids, it happens! There comes a time when the comparisons and resemblances to our parents seem pretty small in the grand scheme of things – and even beautiful and holy and remarkable, the more mature we get, if we're lucky. I got a glimpse of it with Jackson last week in that antique store. And I hope my mom and dad have noticed it over the years, too.And I hear Jesus calling our attention to that same reality when it comes to our relationship with God. He's inviting us to embrace our call to discipleship, to look and act more and more like our maker – all the things an immature faith might fear and resist – because following Jesus puts everything into a different perspective.It's an invitation and a holy challenge, because Jesus knows that when we do it – when we let the call to discipleship change the way we live, what once seemed like work (stuff like generosity, gratitude and grace) will become a way of life. What once seemed beyond us (stuff like sacrifice, selflessness, and suffering, even) actually bears fruit for us and for others. What once seemed unbelievable (stuff like healing, wholeness, and real joy) will become Truth, with a capital T, for our lives. And what once seemed impossible (forgiveness, freedom and eternal life) will belong to us all.Amen

Peptides have become a new buzzword in the wellness industry.

In Mandela's Leadership Legacy: Emotional and Existential Wisdom (Routledge, 2026) Steven Segal explores Nelson Mandela's extraordinary ability to lead through moments of existential crisis and uncertainty. Central to Mandela's leadership was his attunement to mood—the emotional and existential atmosphere through which people experience disruption. Long overlooked in leadership studies, mood shaped the way Mandela created trust, defused fear, and opened possibilities when conventional strategies failed. Mandela's wisdom was forged not only in prison but in the existential challenges he faced upon leaving the familiarity of his ancestral homeland and confronting the disorientation of city life. From this early rupture through to his imprisonment, the collapse of apartheid, and the assassination of Chris Hani, he demonstrated a rare capacity to transform existential threats into opportunities for renewal and unity. This book examines how Mandela combined strategic foresight with therapeutic sensitivity, allowing him to guide individuals and nations through disruption with ethical resolve and visionary clarity. Drawing on frameworks from Heidegger and Ubuntu it highlights Mandela's "existential practical wisdom"—the ability to embrace uncertainty, work with paradox, and foster collective transformation through attuned presence. By investigating Mandela's profound relational sensitivity, including his ability to turn estrangement and enmity into trust and collaboration, the book offers timeless lessons for navigating today's global crises. It is ideal for professionals seeking inspiration for leading in turbulent times and for students interested in leadership, philosophy, or history. Steven Segal was formerly an Associate Professor of Management at Macquarie University, Australia and is currently in private practice as a psychologist and leadership coach. He also runs professional development workshops for coaches and psychotherapists. Elena Sobrino is an anthropologist studying environmental emotions and politics. Her current writing projects focus on the Flint water crisis, and she regularly teaches undergraduate courses on environment, race and racism, crisis, and science and technology.

The latest public version of ChatGPT can be made to generate sexualised images or depict scenes of graphic violence with a simple prompt, researchers have told the BBC. British AI security startup Mindgard figured out how to make ChatGPT create graphic pictures by slightly altering a widely-shared instruction, or prompt, which was originally designed to produce humorous results. To find out more, Anita Rani speaks to Technology correspondent Chris Vallance and Mindgard's Peter Garraghan. A spokesperson for Open AI said: "We take these reports seriously. After investigating this trend, we've introduced additional safeguards against this type of prompt. Our safety systems are designed to block potentially harmful images that are uploaded to ChatGPT and we analyse whether the AI generated image violates our policies before we show the image to the user. We also combine automated systems and human review to identify and block harmful material.”Jon Snow, the lead presenter of Channel 4 News for 32 years, has revealed he has Alzheimer's disease.

A Shot in the Arm Media launches a new nine-part series produced in partnership with the UCSF Institute for Global Health Sciences, built around the book Redefining Global Health in the 21st Century, co-authored by Dr. mike Reid (UCSF Institute for Global Health Sciences) and Ambassador Eric Goosby (former U.S. Global AIDS Coordinator and former PEPFAR Chief Medical Officer). In this prologue episode, Reid and Goosby explain why they wrote the book, what defined the “golden era” of global health since the early 2000s—the Global Fund, PEPFAR, Gavi—and why that progress now feels at risk under the Trump administration's cuts to USAID and PEPFAR. They introduce the book's central metaphor, borrowed from Cory Doctorow's concept of “enshittification,” to ask whether global health institutions are on the brink of decay, and argue that decline is a choice, not a destiny. The conversation previews the arc of the series—covering the old order, governance, financing, climate, technology and AI, and self-care for health workers—and closes with a call for honesty, bipartisanship and accountability, grounded in the legacies of Nelson Mandela and Steve Biko. 00:00 Introduction: Is the Greatest Threat to Global Health...

Some of the greatest writings in history were written from prison—like Martin Luther King Jr.'s Letter from Birmingham Jail, John Bunyan's Pilgrim's Progress, and Nelson Mandela's Autobiography. The Apostle Paul's letter to the Philippians is no different, but most people have never heard of it. Written from a Roman prison to a church he started in Philippi, Philippians is a short letter full of brilliant theology, no-nonsense wisdom, and tattoo-worthy one-liners that has sparked joy, resilience, humility, and more in the church ever since.

In a culture increasingly shaped by cynicism, despair, and a sense that our institutions are beyond repair, Christian hope can seem naïve or even foolish. Drawing from Romans 5, this sermon explores Paul's surprising claim that suffering can produce endurance, character, and ultimately hope. Far from being blind optimism, Christian hope is the trust that God is at work even in the midst of pain, injustice, and disappointment. Through the witness of Paul, Martin Luther King Jr., Nelson Mandela, Gene Robinson, and others, we see that hope is not the denial of suffering but the conviction that God can bring life, renewal, and redemption from it. The resurrection of Jesus stands as God's declaration that evil, suffering, and death do not have the final word. Hope does not disappoint—not because circumstances always improve, but because God's promises endure.

Reconciliation isn't the same thing as forgiveness. We've probably been confusing the two for too long, and it's had real consequences for real people. In this episode, let's look honestly at what genuine repair actually requires, who's responsible for what, and why it's worth the hard work of getting it right.    LINKS: Book of Forgiving  |  Connect  |  YouTube  |  Coming Up TRANSCRIPT: Ian calls kids up and shares puppets (all the animal characters from Wally and Freya) Setup: We've been talking about Wally and Freya for a few weeks now. But there were other animals in this story— a whole community. And when something happens between two people, the whole community has to figure out how to respond. I need some helpers. Each of you gets a character. Facilitate a short, lively role play — you narrate, kids voice their characters: Wally did something that hurt Freya. Now everybody has to decide what to do.Name each option clearly as kids play them out: Get even — someone decides to do something mean back to Wally. Throw a tantrum — someone just explodes with feelings. Ask for help — someone goes to a trusted adult. Forgive — someone decides to let it go and move forward. Choose the relationship — someone decides whether they even want to keep being Wally's friend. Wally & Freya book Here's what I want you to notice: in any situation where someone gets hurt, everybody has choices. Not just one choice, but a whole menu of them. Some of those choices help. Some of them make things worse. And some of them are really, really hard. The hardest one (and the most interesting one) is what we're talking about today. The word you are going to hear me use is called “reconciliation,” and it means making a relationship better. It's not the same thing as forgiveness. They're related, but they're different. Here's the difference: Forgiveness is something YOU do, inside yourself. Reconciliation is something that happens BETWEEN PEOPLE. It takes both people showing up. Painting rocks… what are words we could use? The Distinction We Were Not Taught We have spent this whole series untangling forgiveness from the myths we inherited about it. Today we untangle one more, and it might be the most practically important one. Forgiveness and reconciliation are not the same thing. We use them interchangeably. We shouldn't. Collapsing them into one action creates real damage: It pressures the wounded person to restore a relationship before they feel safe. It lets the person who caused harm off the hook for the actual work of repair. It produces what we might call false reconciliation, a surface-level "we're fine" that buries the wound rather than healing it. The Tutus: "The preference is always to renew unless there is a question of safety." But — and this is important — reconciliation is the fourth step of the Fourfold Path, not the first. You cannot skip to it. And sometimes, honestly, you never get there. To be clear: not reaching reconciliation is not s sign of failure either. That's reality. Lessons from the TRC In 1995, Nelson Mandela appointed Archbishop Desmond Tutu to chair South Africa's Truth and Reconciliation Commission… a body tasked with the nearly impossible: helping a nation begin to heal from decades of apartheid-era atrocity. The TRC was empowered to grant amnesty to perpetrators who confessed their crimes truthfully and completely to the commission. Not automatically. Not cheaply. Truth first. Tutu's final remarks after submitting the report were: "We have looked the beast in the eye. Our past will no longer keep us hostage." Notice what the commission was called. Not the Reconciliation Commission. The Truth and Reconciliation Commission. Truth comes first. Always. What Archbishop Desmond Tutu and the TRC understood, and what we so often get backwards, is that healing actually does have an order. You cannot reconcile what you have not first actually named. You cannot repair what no one has acknowledged was broken. Skipping truth in the name of peace doesn't produce peace. It produces a ceasefire. Those are different things. The TRC also knew its limits. The commission's final report recommended prosecution in cases where amnesty was not sought or was denied. Reconciliation and accountability were held together, not traded against each other. That's the model. The Asymmetry of Reconciliation Here's something the Tutus make explicit that almost nobody else does: the person who was hurt and the person who caused harm have fundamentally different work to do in reconciliation. The path is not the same for both. For the person who was hurt: Your work is the Fourfold Path: telling the story, naming the hurt, granting forgiveness, and then deciding whether to renew or release the relationship. You do not owe anyone reconciliation. Forgiveness is yours to give on your own timeline. Reconciliation requires the other person to show up. The Tutus: "Ask for what you need from the perpetrator in order to renew or release the relationship." That's your right. An apology. An explanation. A changed behavior. To never see them again. All of these are legitimate. For the person who caused harm— the Tutus' framework from Chapter 8 is equally clear: ADMIT the wrong. Witness the ANGUISH Don't argue, don't cross-examine, don't justify. Just listen to what your actions cost the other person… APOLOGIZE genuinely… When you apologize, you are restoring the dignity that you have violated, and acknowledging that the offense has happened. ASK for forgiveness… and honor whatever answer you receive. Make AMENDS or restitution wherever possible. This asymmetry matters because we almost never name it. We treat reconciliation as if both parties are equally responsible for making it happen. But if someone caused harm and hasn't done their work— hasn't admitted it, hasn't witnessed the anguish, hasn't asked for forgiveness— placing the burden of reconciliation equally on the wounded person is just another form of harm. What Gets in teh Way Why is our culture so bad at this? A few honest reasons: Cheap accountability. "I said sorry, what more do you want?" An apology that doesn't include witnessing the other person's pain, or making any effort toward repair, isn't accountability. It's a bid to end the discomfort of being the one who caused harm. Forced and premature reconciliation. Especially in families, churches, and workplaces (read: systems with power dynamics!) pressure to reconcile before the wounded person is ready, or before the person who caused harm has done their work, is coercion masked as grace. No shared vocabulary or ritual. This is a distinctly American problem. We have almost no cultural practices around genuine repair. We have legal settlements. We have awkward apologies. We don't have a process. The Tutus give us one. Most of us were never taught it. The fear that accountability and restoration can't coexist. They can. The TRC proved it — imperfectly, controversially, but really. Truth and healing are not enemies. They need each other. Sometimes, Reconciliation isn't Possible or Appropriate. Some people may be carrying experiences of abuse, violence, or sustained harm Some relationships should not be restored. The Tutus themselves say the preference is always to renew… unless there is a question of safety. Safety is not a small caveat. It is the first question. Releasing a relationship— choosing not to restore it— is not a failure of forgiveness. It is sometimes the most brave thing a person can do. You can forgive someone and never speak to them again… it's totally not a contradiction. Reconciliation requires two willing, honest, accountable people. If only one person is doing the work, what you have is not reconciliation. It's one person carrying everything alone… again. The Reconciliation Map Here's a practice to take into this week... Think of a relationship in your life where there has been harm… either harm done to you, or harm you caused. Ask yourself honestly: Where are we actually in this process? Has the story been told — honestly, out loud, to someone? Has the hurt been named — the feelings underneath the facts? Has forgiveness been granted — or is it still in process? Has there been any movement toward renewing or releasing the relationship? You don't have to be further along than you are. This isn't a checklist for shame. It's just a snapshot, and an honest look at where you actually stand, so you can take the next step that's actually yours to take. Wrap-up Next week is our last week together in this series. We're going to flip the question one final time and ask: what does it mean to be forgivable? What's my role in the harm I've caused — and what does it look like to become someone who can be forgiven? This is hard, slow, important work. You're doing it!

In the latest Electoral Road Show with Chris Steyn, Elections Analyst Wayne Sussman describes how Gayton MacKenzie's Patriotic Alliance (PA) is continuing to march onwards and upwards “weakening” both the Democratic Alliance (DA) and the African National Congress (ANC) in the Western Cape. In the latest by-election, the PA won 53% of the vote in Malmesbury Wesbank. “This used to be the safest DA municipality in the country. And in 2024, the Patriotic Alliance burst through that wall by winning the seat off the DA.” Sussman also comments on GOOD and Rise Mzansi joining forces behind mayoral hopeful Brett Herron; the ANC's elevation of Dada Morero to intervention convener for Gauteng's troubled municipalities; the late President Nelson Mandela's grandson Mandla eyeing a mayoral chain in the Eastern Cape; and Buffalo City Mayor Princess Faku coming under fire for taking officials on overseas trips to China and Germany while the municipality is struggling financially. “Next week we have two Buffalo City by-elections…It'll be interesting to see whether this issue, this debacle, hurts the ANC because both of the seats are ANC seats.”

Today's conversation between Impact Theory host Tom Bilyeu and Tommy Robinson focuses on the rapid demographic and cultural shifts currently reshaping cities across the West, with particular emphasis on immigration, identity, and social cohesion. One concept discussed was how these changes are sparking some of the most contentious and consequential debates of the coming decade. A key theme that emerged was the tension between traditional national identity and values, and the effects of multicultural communities—particularly how integration, or the lack thereof, shapes perceptions of safety, belonging, and the preservation of cultural norms.The discussion explored personal experiences of growing up in a changing community, the challenges of assimilation, and the feeling of being unable to openly discuss sensitive issues due to fears of being labeled or facing legal and social repercussions. Several points were raised, including concerns over political correctness, the role of government and corporations in mass immigration policies, and the resulting impact on community values and public discourse.Listeners can expect a deep dive into not only the lived realities behind these societal changes, but also the broader forces—political, economic, and cultural—that drive and shape them. The episode presents a controversial and candid examination of what is at stake for the future, and invites audiences to reflect on the values that define collective identity and community in an increasingly complex world.Chapters:00:00 UK immigration and political context16:52 Discussing causes of public outrage21:35 Discussing the George Floyd case39:40 The influence of ideological beliefs52:00 Discussing racial justice and perspectives54:06 Nelson Mandela's Vision for Unity01:10:30 Discussing labor and economic factors01:19:06 AI's role in modern society01:30:53 Modern struggles and wealth disparity01:44:37 Questioning female representation in gaming01:46:50 Discussion on attractive character design02:04:16 Issues with police response to stabbing02:07:34 Obsessing over achieving goalsSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Reid sits back down with the We Sound Crazy crew. Joining hosts Philionaire, Claude Kelly and Chuck Harmony of Louis York, and Tamone Bacon, the music mogul takes listeners even deeper into the golden eras of his career. In this installment, the conversation turns toward the hitmaking powerhouse that was Island Def Jam, an era Reid highlights as one of his most memorable and competitive chapters. He breaks down the high-stakes environment of his A&R room, recalling how he built a "money team" of brilliant music executives and trusted his inner circle so completely that it birthed a historic string of global superstars, from Rihanna and Justin Bieber to Ne-Yo and a legendary comeback era for Mariah Carey. The episode pulls back the curtain on one of the most iconic executive hires in music history: Reid's decision to bring in Jay-Z as the president of Def Jam. In a fascinating behind-the-scenes revelation, Reid credits Mariah Carey for calling him directly with the genius suggestion to quiet the New York hip-hop community's undercurrent of skepticism. He shares his immense respect for Jay-Z, describing him as true royalty alongside figures like Nelson Mandela and Barack Obama for his ability to shift the energy of a room. The crew also reflects on how Reid orchestrated bringing Claude Kelly and Chuck Harmony together in Atlanta via A&R Steve Ferrara, resulting in timeless hits like "Fragile" and "Blame It on Me" for Chrisette Michele's chart-topping number one album, Epiphany. Rounding out the legendary sit-down, the hosts honors Reid with the show's official Trailblazer Award to celebrate his monumental impact on the entertainment landscape. Transitioning from executive talk to personal passions, the conversation winds down with an exclusive peek into his high-end taste, as Reid details his love for custom craftsmanship, what his personal vinyl collection looks like, and the exact bottles of wine he'd bring to a Nashville gathering. Authentic, transparent, and loaded with music history, this concluding half with L.A. Reid serves as the ultimate blueprint for extracting greatness and fighting for the purity of the art form.

How do we break out of self-sabotage? Would you like to be happier? The mind is biologically programmed to be negative. Lisa continues the conversation today with renunciate monk and author Sadhvi Bhagawati Saraswati. Sadhvi has lived on the banks of the sacred Ganges River in Rishikesh, India, for the past 30 years. Originally from Los Angeles, and a graduate of Stanford University, she holds a Ph.D. in psychology. Sadhvi explains how we are the offspring of people who know they need to survive. Our ancestors needed to assume the worst, in order to survive. We have evolved this way. And, we know that we can now change. We can reprogram our minds. Sadhvi suggests using a mantra. It doesn't have to be in Sanskrit. It's anything that can bring you into the present moment and out of negativity. We can reason with our minds, and sometimes we need to face the negativity, but more often we can delete and end the cycle of negativity. "OM" is a very common mantra. It's very powerful. Chanting also helps. This stops the mind. She gives examples of many different mantras and prayers. The sounds help the brain go into a state of coherence. She also talks about attending the Maha Kumbh Mela where more than 670 million people came to the Ganges river recently to attend at the largest gathering in the history of the world. The Maha Kumbh Mela means the great festival of the nectar of immortality. It took place on the confluence of the banks of 3 great rivers in India.  There was no conflict, no violence; it was just people coming together in love and peace. She further discusses the astrology of the moment, especially the full moons. Vedic astrology predicts that this particular planetary alignment happens only once every 144 years. With hundreds of millions of people attending the gathering, this shows that people are suffering and looking for answers. People are angry. People are frustrated. People are searching for answers. This was a way to break out of constraints and experience freedom. When asked about anger, she expressed that there are some reasons to be angry including poverty, hunger, loss of human rights, and so much more. Yet, when we are angry, we are called to be agents of change, but first we must find peace within ourselves so we can then help others. She offers breathing exercises with specific energy centers and anchoring. Whether it's other people's action, or even the weather, we shouldn't have expectations that things will be different. We cannot control others. We must bring light to the darkness, but not from a place of anger. She notes Nelson Mandela, Martin Luther King, Jr, and Gandhi and how they were angry but came from a place of peace to make change.   Sadhvi is a bestselling author, a world-renowned speaker, a recipient of President Biden's Award for a Lifetime of Service, and she serves on the United Nations Advisory Council on religion. She talks further about her new book "Come Home to Yourself" and discusses how forgiveness is the key to help us reach deeper spiritual truths. It's an invitation to come home to freedom.

In the wake of the shocking body cam footage revealing Henry Nowak's final moments and the resulting riots across the UK, Tom explores the viral online comparisons between Britain's response to the deaths of George Floyd and Henry Nowak, digging into the broader implications for culture, politics, and the escalating tensions around immigration and anti-white bias.They break down the details: the fatal altercation, two-tiered policing, and the ripple effect this incident has had—drawing in political leaders, fueling protests, and exposing perceived double standards in justice and public outrage. The conversation delves deep into the roots of these societal clashes, including how narratives around victimhood, race, and ideology are amplifying divisions both in the UK and beyond.But the episode doesn't stop there—world events from Russia's attack on Ukraine, to debates over the government's role in AI, to controversies igniting the gaming world, all collide in this multi-faceted discussion. Buckle up for a powerful and nuanced conversation that doesn't shy away from the hard questions.00:00 UK immigration and political context16:52 Discussing causes of public outrage21:35 Discussing the George Floyd case39:40 The influence of ideological beliefs52:00 Discussing racial justice and perspectives54:06 Nelson Mandela's Vision for Unity01:10:30 Discussing labor and economic factors01:19:06 AI's role in modern society01:30:53 Modern struggles and wealth disparity01:44:37 Questioning female representation in gaming01:46:50 Discussion on attractive character design02:04:16 Issues with police response to stabbing02:07:34 Obsessing over achieving goalsSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

South Africa Calls the Black Traveler HomeA 12-Day Journey Through Pretoria and Soweto Reveals Why the Continent Is the Next Frontier for Diaspora TourismThere's a particular kind of travel that transcends sightseeing — the kind where history reaches out from every monument, every meal, every conversation with a stranger. That's exactly what Lyndon Taylor, founder of Lyndon Taylor Associates and a veteran Caribbean travel professional, found waiting for him on the African continent during a 12-day immersion in South Africa this past April. What began as a spontaneous decision sparked by a mentee's family wedding became, by his own account, one of the most significant journeys of his life.From Newark to Johannesburg: The Long Haul ReimaginedTaylor's journey began with a United Airlines non-stop flight from Newark to OR Tambo International Airport in Johannesburg — a route that clocks in at roughly 14-plus hours in the air. For travelers who've never tackled a transatlantic flight of this distance, the prospect can feel daunting. But Taylor, ever the seasoned road warrior, approaches it with a practiced strategy.For those planning a similar trip from New York or the Caribbean, the key takeaway is this: book early for the best fares, choose night departures when possible, and treat the flight like an intentional transition — not just dead time between worlds.Arriving at the Heart of History: Pretoria's Union Buildings and Freedom ParkTaylor landed in Johannesburg on April 22nd, and after a sobering introduction at the airport — where the statue of Oliver Reginald Tambo, co-founder of the African National Congress alongside Nelson Mandela and Walter Sisulu, watches over every arriving traveler — he took an Uber to Pretoria, the administrative capital where he would base himself for much of the trip.His first major stop was the Union Buildings, Pretoria's iconic seat of government perched at the city's highest point. The sprawling, arc-shaped colonial-era structure commands breathtaking panoramic views over the city, and it is here that the towering nine-foot statue of Nelson Mandela stands as a monument to South Africa's democratic transformation. For Taylor, standing there was a visceral experience.Freedom Park, another landmark Taylor visited, carries an even heavier emotional charge. The memorial lists the names of South Africans who died across multiple conflicts, from World War II through to the apartheid era. Taylor chose to walk it without a guided tour, preferring to absorb the weight of the space at his own pace. He walked through terraced sections tracing themes of earth, trade, and African history before ascending to the Wall of Names — a structure he describes as nearly stadium-like in scale. At the top, an eternal flame burns alongside a still pool of water."I sat, crossed my legs on the grass, and just took it all in... thinking about all those folks who sacrificed so that we can now enjoy the freedoms we do," he says. It was, in his words, "a sombering moment and a moment of reflection."Soweto: History, Soul, and the Sound of People Truly LivingIf Pretoria is South Africa's institutional heartbeat, Soweto is its soul. Taylor made the trip on April 25th, stopping first in Braamfontein — a vibrant Johannesburg neighborhood that doubles as a college town, home to the University of Johannesburg and several other institutions. It was there, over drinks with a group of young South Africans celebrating a birthday, that the spontaneous magic of travel revealed itself.In Soweto, the famous street that was once home to Nelson Mandela, and also to Archbishop Desmond Tutu, offered a deeply personal window into the struggle. The house where Mandela lived with his family is small — almost startlingly so — but filled, as Taylor observed, with evidence of immense love and resilience. A monument in the square also honors Hector Pieterson, one of the young victims of the 1976 Soweto Uprising, and reminds visitors of the cost of the freedom South Africa now celebrates.Later that evening, he returned to Braamfontein, where his new friends introduced him to Zouk, a club in the nearby neighborhood of Melville. He stayed until 5 a.m. — not because there was nothing else to do, but because the last train from Braamfontein back to Pretoria departed at 8:30 p.m. and the next one didn't run until 5:30 a.m. So he danced, celebrated, and immersed himself in the city's nightlife until the Gautrain — the high-speed rail linking Johannesburg to Pretoria — carried him back at dawn.What struck him most was how South Africans engage with music and each other in social spaces. Phones were put away. People danced. There was a joy and a presence to the room that Taylor contrasts, somewhat wistfully, with what he sees in many Caribbean and American venues today."The Africans, they love their music... they were showing and they were going out and enjoying themselves," he says. "We seem to have lost a lot of that."Freedom Day and the March & March Protest: Democracy, Alive and ImperfectApril 27th marked South Africa's Freedom Day — the 32nd anniversary of the country's first democratic, non-racial elections in 1994. Taylor was on the ground to witness the official ceremonies, including a 21-gun salute and presidential participation, alongside broader public celebration.But the trip also offered a more complicated view of South African democracy the following day, when he encountered the March & March movement protesting outside his hotel in Pretoria. Led by a founder named Jacinta, the march addressed concerns about unemployment, immigration, government corruption, and the alleged sale of identity documents and passports. The group was marching toward the Union Buildings to present their grievances directly to the president.Taylor interviewed Jacinta on the spot. The protest was peaceful, orderly, and pointed — a reminder that South Africa's democracy, now three decades old, is still a living, contested work in progress. "I just wanted to show that democracy is alive and well," Taylor reflects. "People were protesting and they could protest freely, without being harmed."Why Caribbean Travelers Should Look to AfricaTaylor is clear-eyed about the barriers. Long-haul international travel is expensive, and the cost of a flight to South Africa is a legitimate consideration. But his advice is straightforward: book the flight first, as far in advance as possible, and sort out accommodation later — Airbnb and guesthouses offer flexibility and value that can be planned around a tighter budget.More importantly, he speaks to something that can't be quantified: the feeling of connection. As a person of African descent visiting the continent for the first time, Taylor describes a pull toward what he calls "the motherland" that influenced how he engaged with every person he met.South Africa sits at a fascinating intersection of history, culture, natural beauty, and emerging modernity. From the vibrant student neighborhoods of Braamfontein to the solemn grandeur of Freedom Park; from the intimate rooms of Mandela's Soweto home to the sweeping views from the Union Buildings — the country offers a depth of experience that few destinations can match.For Caribbean travelers seeking to explore the wider world of their heritage and history, South Africa isn't just worth considering. It may be long overdue.The Final Verdict: Parallel PathsFlying back over the Atlantic, watching the African coastline fade into the clouds, I realized that this journey had fundamentally changed my perspective as a travel writer.South Africa and the Caribbean are bound by an invisible, powerful thread. We are regions shaped by the trauma of oppression, yet defined by our refusal to be broken by it. We express our healing through the same vessels: explosive musical rhythms, revolutionary art, and a profound reverence for our historical architects.For the traveler seeking more than just a passport stamp, South Africa offers a profound, soul-stirring journey. It challenges you, educates you, and ultimately embraces you with a familiarity that feels remarkably like coming home.Support the showTripCast360 --- It's all about travel, lifestyle and entertainment.Web: TripCast360.com.Twit: https://twitter.com/TripCast360FB: https://www.facebook.com/TripCast360Insta: https://www.instagram.com/tripcast360/

Some of the greatest writings in history were written from prison—like Martin Luther King Jr.'s Letter from Birmingham Jail, John Bunyan's Pilgrim's Progress, and Nelson Mandela's Autobiography. The Apostle Paul's letter to the Philippians is no different, but most people have never heard of it. Written from a Roman prison to a church he started in Philippi, Philippians is a short letter full of brilliant theology, no-nonsense wisdom, and tattoo-worthy one-liners that has sparked joy, resilience, humility, and more in the church ever since.

In the fearful aftermath of 9/11, Jewish community leader Nancy Kaufman found herself at the epicenter of a local battle in Boston, facing overwhelming pressure from major donors and right-wing groups to actively block the construction of a new mosque. She was told her job was to be "securing the Jewish community," and the opposition claimed the mosque would be a hotbed of anti-Semitism.This moment demanded adaptive leadership and extraordinary interfaith courage. Kaufman's decision to risk her career, ignore the hysteria, and quietly build bridges of truth became a five-year-long test of integrity and resolve. Her story is a powerful testament to the long game.Discover how she battled internal threats, external forces, and accusations of betrayal to maintain her values. More importantly, learn the enduring lessons she gleaned from Nelson Mandela on working with the opposition, which ultimately led to the powerful realization that your fiercest foe may become your greatest ally. This episode culminates in an unforgettable moment of unity—when Kaufman was asked to offer the closing prayer at the dedication of the very mosque she was pressured to stop.Love the show?

You are an instrument. Right now, something is tuning you — your phone, your feed, your anxiety, the fluorescent hum of a world that profits from your distraction. The question isn't whether you're being tuned. The question is by what. In this episode, Michael Trainer returns from two weeks in Mexico — not for the margaritas, but for something far rarer: silence, stillness, and the deliberate work of unwinding a nervous system that had been running a six-year playoff season. What follows is a meditation on what it means to come back home to yourself. Michael weaves together neuroscience and ancient wisdom — the intelligence of the vagus nerve, the wisdom of a traditional Sri Lankan healer, the daily walks of Nelson Mandela, the voice of Young Pueblo — to answer a question most of us are too busy to ask: What actually brings me back into tune? The answer, it turns out, isn't just personal restoration. It's the key to every meaningful relationship you'll ever build. Because the people who make your heart feel seen and your nervous system feel calm? Those aren't accidents. They're resonance. And you can engineer the conditions where that resonance becomes possible — if you're willing to first do the harder, quieter work of finding your own frequency. As Miles Davis knew: the music lives in the space between the notes. This episode is that space. http://www.resonance.biz Michael Trainer has spent 30 years learning from Nobel laureates, neuroscientists, and wisdom keepers worldwide. He's the author of RESONANCE: The Art and Science of Human Connection (March 31, 2026), co-creator of Global Citizen and the Global Citizen Festival, and host of the RESONANCE podcast.Featured in Forbes, Inc, Good Morning America.

Apriremo la nostra rubrica di attualità con una discussione sui tesi colloqui tra Stati Uniti, Groenlandia e Danimarca riguardo al futuro della Groenlandia. Il dialogo successivo verterà sull'accordo siglato da trentasei Paesi per istituire un tribunale speciale all'Aia con l'obiettivo di processare il Presidente russo Vladimir Putin per il crimine di aggressione contro l'Ucraina. Nella nostra sezione scientifica parleremo di una società governata dall'intelligenza artificiale, gestita da un consiglio di bot di IA modellati su leader storici come Winston Churchill, Eleanor Roosevelt, Nelson Mandela e Gandhi. E infine, parleremo del più grande evento musicale d'Europa, l'Eurovision Song Contest.    La seconda parte di questa puntata è dedicata alla lingua e alla cultura italiana. L'argomento grammaticale di oggi è The indefinite pronouns: alcuni and altri. Ne troverete diversi esempi nel dialogo dedicato all'invasione dei pavoni a Punta Marina, una frazione di Ravenna: un caso locale diventato clamorosamente mediatico. Nel finale, daremo spazio all'espressione idiomatica del giorno, mettere nel dimenticatoio, attraverso il ricordo di Alex Zanardi, ex pilota automobilistico e atleta paralimpico tra i più famosi in Italia. - Nonostante le altre crisi mondiali, gli Stati Uniti continuano a spingere per un accordo sulla Groenlandia - 36 Paesi istituiscono un tribunale per processare Vladimir Putin - Una nuova micronazione asiatica è governata da bot di intelligenza artificiale modellati su leader storici - La Bulgaria vince per la prima volta l'Eurovision Song Contest - Il caso dei pavoni a Punta Marina - Alex Zanardi, il campione che ci ha insegnato a vivere

Abriremos la sección de actualidad del programa discutiendo las tensas conversaciones entre EE. UU., Groenlandia y Dinamarca sobre el futuro de Groenlandia. La siguiente conversación tratará sobre el acuerdo alcanzado por treinta y seis países para establecer un tribunal especial en La Haya para procesar al presidente ruso Vladímir Putin por el crimen de la guerra contra Ucrania. En la sección de ciencia, hablaremos de una sociedad gobernada por un consejo de bots de IA modelizados en base a líderes históricos como Winston Churchill, Eleanor Roosevelt, Nelson Mandela y Ghandi. Y, para acabar, charlaremos sobre el mayor acontecimiento musical de Europa, el festival de la canción de Eurovisión. El resto del episodio de hoy lo dedicaremos a la lengua y la cultura españolas. La primera conversación incluirá ejemplos del tema de gramática de la semana, Se accidental y Se Intransitivador. En esta conversación hablaremos del movimiento viral Café Sin Especialidad. Este critica con humor en las redes sociales el elitismo de las cafeterías modernas en España surgidas en los últimos cinco años. Mucha gente se queja de estas franquicias modernas, pues están acabando con el bar tradicional y con ello, con la cohesión social de los barrios de las grandes ciudades. Sin embargo, los turistas y nómadas digitales buscan lugares tranquilos donde tomar café de calidad. Por tanto, también son necesarios. Y, en nuestra última conversación, aprenderemos a usar una nueva expresión española, Ir a tomar viento. Discutiremos el auge de grupos políticos de ultraderecha, con líderes que tienen cierta influencia en las redes sociales. Actualmente vivimos en un entorno social muy polarizado y la gente prefiere creer aquello que apoye sus propias ideas, aunque no sea del todo verdad. Pero esta opción suele durar poco y estos líderes caen de su pedestal. A pesar de otras calamidades en el mundo, EE. UU. sigue presionando para llegar a un acuerdo sobre Groenlandia 36 países establecen un tribunal para procesar a Vladímir Putin Un nuevo micropaís asiático está gobernado por bots de IA modelizados en base a líderes históricos Bulgaria gana por primera vez el Festival de Eurovisión Café sin especialidad Se Acabó la Fiesta

Episode Notes The Wedding and the Marriage: On Creative Devotion and the Gift of the Slow Burn What does it actually mean to be devoted to your work — not the version of it you imagined, but the version that wants to exist? In this deeply personal episode, Michael reflects on the six-year journey of writing Resonance: The Art and Science of Human Connection — and the humbling gap between the grand launch he envisioned and the initiation the universe had in store. Recorded live from Tulum, Mexico, just weeks after the book's release, this is a raw and honest meditation on ego, surrender, patience, and what it means to stay in the work when the fanfare doesn't come. What You'll Hear in This Episode: The moment Michael nearly folded after five years — and the four-month ultimatum that changed everything Why he moved to Austin, found the right environment, and finally cracked the book's structure The emotional experience of recording the audiobook and hearing his "composition" for the first time How a crypto portfolio hit by 100% China tariffs wiped out his marketing budget — and what he did next The difference between the wedding (the launch) and the marriage (the lifelong commitment to the work) Why he stopped chasing the bestseller list and started thinking like Ryan Holiday's perennial bestseller What Esther Perel's Mating in Captivity and Steven Pressfield's The War of Art teach us about the slow burn The Miles Davis principle: music is what lives in the space between the notes Nelson Mandela's Long Walk to Freedom as a model for creative endurance How the principles of Resonance — listening, devotion, releasing transactional expectation — apply to your creative life, not just your relationships Key Themes: Creative initiation and the fire that forges you Releasing egoic expectation vs. listening to what wants to live The gift of the slow burn and the perennial work Environment as a creative catalyst Dissonance vs. resonance in relationships — and in your work What vision fasts and initiatory rituals teach us about patience and preparation Quotes From This Episode: "It's not about the night of the wedding. It's going to be about the years of commitment in the marriage." "How can I listen to what wants to live — and become an instrument for that song?" "Music is what lives in the space between the notes." — Miles Davis "I wasn't positive how the ideas came together in the most poignant way. But I knew it was in there."
