You really can't knock the hustle. We knew something was afoot once the umlaut showed up on streaming services. Jaÿ-Z began a brilliant rollout of tracks that provided the soundtrack for my adolescence to a new generation. While noticing this, I realized how few Jaÿ songs I played in the car and how my sons really did not know his music like that. I'd played enough clean edits of Nas and Biggie for the boys to have their favorite records but the third wing of the NY triumvirate was less familiar to them. And honestly I don't know how that happened. For years, I cycled between streaming services—including TIDAL—and made playlists to enjoy every December 4th. Jaÿ's music is an example of what I love most about hip-hop from my youth, it made you aspire. Jaÿ had my generation going to parties dressed like we were going to a job interview. All that hypercapitalist energy made you want to be somebody!I changed trains at two fifth and a mystical throughline helped me clock everyone who was on their way to the show. Out of towners, gentrifiers, and those from the soil all had a certain look of anticipation as we stood on the train platform. One cat wearing a Knicks jersey, fitted, and cable link exemplified my feeling of how Jaÿ's concert is a continuation of a top tier NY summer. We piled onto the train and I overheard conversations of folks who came up from Baltimore, Atlanta, flew in from Vancouver, and Seattle. It's another glimpse of how the specific taps into universality. Jaÿ wove tales of surviving Brooklyn that seamlessly fit into American mythology and everywhere where Horatio Alger echoes.I watched the show with its brilliant use of videos interspersed with American flags, urban life, and crosses and saw an artist using his medium to communicate a problem to a people he helped lull to sleep. Jaÿ delivered another freestyle with a critique for his critics turning the accusation of being a sell out on its head by acknowledging the sold out show he headlines. Hearing him point out that his detractors prolly had an Amazon account and therefore are hypocritical for criticizing his business dealings with Target made me think about the dangerous trajectory of that line of thought. It is a line of thought that I believe Jaÿ shares with his detractors. It is not productive to demand perfection from one another. What some call contradictions, I see as complexities. I taught and ministered to children on the same Brooklyn streets Jaÿ illustrated with hopes of providing a path away from those realities. When I was in high school, I protested the building of the Barclays Center not knowing that I would take my kids there later in life. I am mindful of my complicity and understand that I will never reduce my participation in harm to zero. Yet we still must have space to challenge each other to do better. If a rebuke is going to be met with a retelling of my faults, then what is the point of keeping each other on point?I met up with two of my friends from our Hip-Hop discord channel and our conversation eventually drifted toward abolition. Jaÿ is often rightfully criticized for believing capitalism is our way out rather than our cage but with the stakes as high as they are (and always have been?) I'm also tired of cannibalizing. We spend so much time picking each other apart because we disagree on solutions rather than embracing those who also recognize that there is a problem. The forces that seek our destruction have put their differences aside in the name of their common goal. We have an obligation to each other. An obligation that is fulfilled in the midst of our dynamic, never arriving selves. There is always room for us to get better and there is always room for us to celebrate one another.In my most generous thoughts, I think of Shawn Carter as a man who embodies the American definition of success and overcame insurmountable odds to do so. If you experience that kind of winning, you would want to lay the blueprint out so that others can trace your steps as best as they can. I can see his articulation of financial freedom as a form of generosity and inspiration to others. I know entrepreneurs who came up in similar circumstances whose ambition is undergirded by “Jaÿ made it, I can too!” Confessedly, whenever I have success in my career, I play something from Jaÿ's catalog to celebrate.I went to the concert to celebrate my brother's 40th birthday. We talked about being friends since 7th grade, my first year at our school. I mentioned how Volume 2 came out that year and its popularity made my transition into a new school easier. He remarked how there weren't a lot of us at that school and I shared how my strategy of getting through was to not pay attention to how few in number we were. My mindset is best captured by Jaÿ's articulation on “Pound Cake”, “Less is more…it's plenty of us.” As my son begins middle school in parallel circumstances, I hope he finds similar rocket fuel.It is not easy being in a new environment and the difficulty increases when the ceiling they try to place over us is so low. I live my life largely unconcerned with such low expectations and am training my sons to move through the apartheid with the appropriate armor. The gravity of oppression intends to crush our bones and our spirits, it is up to us to remind ourselves of our greatness and to teach our children that their own excellence is accessible.BaddestChaplain's Newsletter is a reader-supported publication.

The language in and about the Declaration of Independence is telling of the current state of the United States today. Listen as Aaron and Damien discuss the piece “Do You Understand Your Own Language?” by Robin D. G. Kelley in Hammer & Hope, which explores the language in and about the Declaration of Independence and critiques and analysis of the document by Black radicals, thinkers, and abolitionists throughout history, as well as the implications and impact of this language on the United States today, and what we learn and take away from this incredible piece in our continued learning and unlearning work and fight for collective liberation.

Grant's back from Summer League in Vegas and the crew — John Browner, Beav and David Bloom — has thoughts. Three games in on Keaton Wagler and the panel is not having it: John calls it a red flag, Beav just says trash, David sees a passive, tentative player afraid to ruin his percentages. Grant is the lone defender, pointing to 19.5 points and 41.6% from three over the last two games and arguing the real issue is a 19-year-old frame, not the jumper. Meanwhile Darius Acuff drops 26 in 26 minutes and John hands out an A+. The guys run the last five No. 5 picks, debate whether Lawrence Frank is on the clock, and then get into the Kawhi Leonard mess: a second NBA investigation tied to the Aspiration probe, AI images of Kawhi as a Marvel Groot offshoot, and an Adam Silver quote that flatly contradicts the Raptors' own statement. Who actually paused that trade? Plus Gary Trent Jr., circumvention that everyone pretends isn't happening, and a StubHub story that ties it all together. New episodes drop nightly.

She watched residents cry alone on the floor, calls for help go unanswered, and a client ask her point blank, "Am I gonna die today?" That first shift as a professional caregiver didn't just break Nicole Becerra's heart. It gave her a mission. Instead of accepting that this was just how senior care worked, she asked a different question: what if it didn't have to be this way? In this episode, Nicole shares how she went from sitting bedside with dementia patients to acquiring raw land, navigating septic and zoning laws, and securing an SBA loan to build Mosaic Memory Care, a 16 room luxury memory care mansion in the Texas Hill Country. She breaks down what it actually took to move from caregiver to developer with zero real estate background: interviewing contractors until she found ones who would explain things in plain language, commissioning third party feasibility studies for her bank, and financing the entire project herself and her husband rather than bringing on outside investors. She also opens up about Builders of Care, the nonprofit she founded to help families afford quality senior care and to help other small operators get the capital they need to build homes like hers. This episode is for real estate investors looking at senior housing and memory care as an emerging niche, anyone weighing land development for the first time, and listeners who have watched a parent or grandparent struggle to get real dignity in a care facility. With an aging population and booming Hill Country demographics, Nicole makes the case that small, intimate memory care homes are one of the most overlooked and needed opportunities in real estate right now. 5 Powerful Takeaways Learn how to structure a memory care real estate deal from raw land purchase through SBA financing, including how a land loan gets wrapped into a construction loan. Discover why septic and zoning rules can dictate your entire site plan, and how Nicole turned a 14 acre parcel into two 16 room luxury homes with room for walking paths and a courtyard. Get a real playbook for building trust with contractors and city officials as a newcomer, including the exact question to ask when you're in over your head. Understand how a nonprofit arm like Builders of Care can create scholarships and grants that make quality senior care and small operator development more financially accessible. Hear why financing a project entirely with personal savings and a bank loan, without outside investors, can be a deliberate strategy for proving a concept before scaling. 00:00 Show Intro 01:00 Cash on Cash Return 03:24 Meet Nicole Becerra 05:23 Caregiving Wake Up Call 09:32 Luxury Memory Care 11:31 Builders of Care Nonprofit 12:40 Land and Zoning Hurdles 16:57 Designing the Neighborhood 19:08 Mosaic Name Meaning 20:14 Newbie Advantage 21:31 Contractors and Communication 22:43 SBA Loan Process 24:12 Funding the Build 25:23 Control Over Investors 27:06 Builders of Care Mission 28:46 Timeline and Next Steps 31:06 Being Mortal Insights 34:26 Advice and Action 35:53 Drive and Aspirations 39:08 Systems and Delegation 40:53 Success and Where to Find Nicole 42:31 Final Thanks and Sign-Off About the Guest Nicole Becerra spent years as a frontline professional caregiver before deciding the industry needed to be rebuilt from the ground up. She taught herself land acquisition, entitlement, financing, and new construction with no prior real estate background and is now developing Mosaic Memory Care, a luxury memory care community in the Texas Hill Country. She is also the founder of Builders of Care, a nonprofit that provides scholarships to families who need senior care and capital support to small operators building their own care homes.

You might remember Katryn from episode 292, where we dove deep into the behavioral blueprint for inclusion. Well, a lot can happen in a year—or in our current case, since the wild ride of the 2026 election—and the DEI landscape is shifting beneath our feet. I'll admit, when I first started this work ten years ago, I thought we could just shout from the rooftops that inclusion matters and everyone would just magically get it. But as we look at the headlines today, it's clear that "shiny object syndrome" has left us with a lot of noise and not enough real, systemic change. Katryn and I sit down to unpack what global leaders are actually doing right now to push past the performative and get to the heart of what makes workplaces genuinely fair. Key Themes from the Conversation Moving from Noise to Systemic Change. Organizations frequently focus on highly public, performative declarations of inclusivity rather than restructuring the underlying processes that perpetuate bias. "Organizations were doing a lot of the shiny stuff... doing what we would call noisy things, right? Proclaiming, saying, being public... but obviously that not necessarily translating to real-world change." — Katryn Wright The Problem with Unconscious Bias Training. Treating broad, one-size-fits-all training modules as a standalone solution is ineffective and can create artificial metrics that trigger cultural backlash. "An awful amount of money was spent on something that the science shows is... ineffective at best, counterproductive at worst." — Katryn Wright Inclusion as an Aspiration, Not a Default Value. Framing inclusion as a predefined company value mistakenly implies that the work is already complete, whereas framing it as an ongoing aspiration invites employees to actively participate in closing the gap. "When we talk about inclusion as a value, it is not as effective as when we talk about inclusion as an aspirational goal... it suggests that we've been missing a trick to be bringing people on as much as we can." — Katryn Wright Precision and Data Science in Workplace Fairness. True progress requires identifying the exact inflection points in employee experiences—like hiring, promotion, and retention stages—where disparities emerge, and applying targeted behavioral interventions. "Let's go and be as precise as possible about changing behavior in that exact situation... when we are able to be as precise as possible about which specific behaviors need to change, we can get to those outcomes." — Katryn Wright Actionable Takeaway for Listeners Stop trying to de-bias your entire team all at once with sweeping declarations. Instead, pick one specific process in your daily workflow—whether it's how you audit resumes, run performance reviews, or distribute project assignments—and analyze the data to find where the equity gaps lie. Designing small, targeted interventions at precise moments is how real cultural evolution happens. Follow Katryn at https://www.morethannow.co.uk/

On this episode of Conduct Detrimental: THE Sports Law Podcast, Dan Lust (⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@SportsLawLust)⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠and Mike Kravchenko (⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Watch on YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠) are back for the second straight week — with three breaking stories that forced a last-minute rewrite of the rundown.The episode opens with the Kawhi Leonard trade to Toronto, which is suddenly on hold indefinitely while the NBA's ten-month Aspiration investigation drags on. Dan and Mike unpack the alleged no-show marketing deal, why the Raptors would have almost certainly checked with the league before agreeing to a massive trade involving Brandon Ingram, Gradey Dick, and multiple first-round picks — and why "on hold" with no timeline is such a bizarre posture. Dan draws the parallel to Joe Smith and the Timberwolves, the last true blatant salary-cap circumvention case, and explains why draft-pick forfeiture may be exactly what's creating the hesitancy. From there, the duo turns to Balogun and the red card that wasn't. Dan and Mike break down the crucial distinction most outlets missed — the red card was never overturned, the suspension was reversed — and what it means that FIFA dusted off a rule under apparent pressure from a sitting U.S. president. Mike explains why Gianni Infantino's public support of Trump and the FIFA Peace Prize make this less surprising than it looks, while Dan argues Belgium came out looking worse and points to the Argentina–Egypt disallowed goal as the truly egregious officiating story of the tournament.Dan and Mike then dig into the criminal charges against former Bucknell strength and conditioning coach Mark Kulbis following the 2024 death of freshman CJ Dickey Jr. Mike lays out the timeline and the sickle-cell trait aggravator, then Dan pulls up Pennsylvania's hazing statute and reads the limitation in Section 2802, statutory-interpretation on whether up-downs and burpees can be a felony.The pair then hits the Brendan Sorsby saga as the NCAA opens a formal inquiry into Cincinnati over what the program knew and when. Followed by the Ohio injunction against the NCAA's new five-year eligibility rule, where Dan explains why a system that rewards whoever can reach a friendly local judge is a bad system for everyone.The episode closes with Paige Shiver's Freedom of Information Act lawsuit against the University of Michigan, seeking internal communications, the outside law firm's investigative file, and answers about when Michigan actually knew about the Sherrone Moore relationship. Plus: Dan's Europe futures ticket, a 46-to-1 Michigan basketball bet, and a Conor McGregor–Max Holloway prediction you have about 48 hours to act on.

What if Kawhi Leonard suddenly became available due to the Aspiration scandal? Should the Warriors be in on that?

The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – Because there are plenty of government actors with imperial aspirations.

From executive orders to congressional investigations, it seems more and more elected employees think they can run the show however they want. And it's not just...

voice.Hu: "Nem tudom, Imre," válaszolta Zoltán.En: "I don't know, Imre," Zoltán replied.Hu: "De meg kell próbálnom.En: "But I have to try."Hu: "A nap lassan haladt a horizont felé, és Zoltán még mindig nem találta a bátorságot, hogy megszólítsa Lillát, a tekintélyes galériatulajdonost, aki új tehetségek után kutatott.En: The day slowly moved toward the horizon, and Zoltán still couldn't find the courage to approach Lilla, the esteemed gallery owner who was searching for new talents.Hu: Ismeretlen, de ígéretes munkákat keresett, amivel feltölthetné galériáját.En: She was looking for unknown but promising works to fill her gallery.Hu: Végül, amikor a nap már kezdett nyugovóra térni, az utolsó percek egyike hirtelen ihletet adott Zoltánnak.En: Finally, as the day began to set, one of the last moments suddenly inspired Zoltán.Hu: "Most vagy soha!En: "Now or never!"Hu: " gondolta.En: he thought.Hu: Megmarkolta a legkedvesebb festményét, és határozott léptekkel közelített Lilla felé.En: He grabbed his most cherished painting and approached Lilla with determined steps.Hu: Lilla éppen egy másik művész munkáit nézegette, amikor Zoltán megállt mellette.En: Lilla was looking at another artist's work when Zoltán stopped beside her.Hu: "Elnézést, asszonyom," mondta kissé remegő hangon.En: "Excuse me, ma'am," he said with a slightly trembling voice.Hu: "Nézze meg ezt a festményt, kérem.En: "Please take a look at this painting."Hu: "Lilla szemei felcsillantak, amikor megfordult.En: Lilla's eyes lit up as she turned around.Hu: Ahogy a tekintete a vászonra esett, Zoltán szinte visszatartotta a lélegzetét.En: As her gaze fell on the canvas, Zoltán almost held his breath.Hu: Percekig néma csend volt, de végül Lilla mosolyogva megfordult.En: There was a silent pause for a few minutes, but finally, Lilla turned around with a smile.Hu: "Ez csodálatos," mondta a nő.En: "This is wonderful," she said.Hu: "Látom benne a szenvedélyt és az értéket.En: "I see the

0:00 - Who are the newest Avs? What should we know about Jaden Schwartz?It's also crazy that Kawhi Leonard dipped from the US in the midst of a fraud investigation and signed with the Raptors.

The Aspiration guy is serving hard time, but the Clippers are innocent?17:00 - DMac took an impromptu trip to Seattle to consume all the World Cup action!

Whether or not you're a fan of the contest, you have to appreciate how dominant he is in his field of competition. Oh, by the way...Vic finally sympathizes with dogs for one specific reason.

Dr. Kathi Aultman was a loud and proud abortionist, ending pregnancies multiple times a day, and championing a woman's right to choose. That all changed when the Lord began to work in her heart, showing her through the actions of three key patients that a pre-born baby isn't simply just a “mass of fetal tissue,” but rather, a human being worthy of life. But the jump from abortionist to pro-life advocate and speaker wasn't an overnight transformation. It took time, and it took God's hand in her life. Today, she's advocating for the lives of pre-born babies. She has spoken nationally and internationally, testifying in Washington about the evils of partial birth abortion, the Heartbeat Bill, and fought for a bill to protect abortion survivors. In addition, she does training for young people on when life begins in the womb and what abortion truly is - the ending of one's life. TAKEAWAYS God can transform and forgive anyone if they repent and seek Him Kathi specialized in Aspiration and D&E abortion procedures when she was an abortionist Kathi was the co-founder of the first Rape Treatment Center in Jacksonville, Florida Kathi spoke at the 2019 Washington, D.C., March for Life Rally and is also an associate scholar with the Charlotte Lozier Institute

Smithsonian Secretary Lonnie G. Bunch III has spent a lifetime thinking about how history gets told. Before becoming the head of the Smithsonian, he was a curator, someone whose job is deciding which stories, people, and objects help us make sense of ourselves. So as America approaches its 250th birthday, Lizzie wanted to know: if you had to tell the story of the United States through just a handful of things, where would you begin?In this special episode, Secretary Bunch puts his curator hat back on to lead Lizzie through American Aspirations, a new exhibition he co-curated. Starting with the desk on which the Declaration of Independence was drafted, they get up close with some of the nation's most treasured objects: Abraham Lincoln campaign swag, Amelia Earhart's flight suit, Thomas Edison's light bulb, and even a miniature Statue of Liberty (which is still pretty big!). What can these objects reveal about a nation still striving to become its best self?Guest: Lonnie G. Bunch III, Secretary of the Smithsonian InstitutionThe American Aspirations exhibition at the Smithsonian Castle was co-curated by Smithsonian Secretary Bunch — alongside Abeer Saha, curator at the National Museum of American History, and Harry Rubenstein, curator emeritus at the National Museum of American History.American Aspirations received support from Jacqueline B. Mars and the Smithsonian's Our Shared Future: 250, a Smithsonian-wide initiative commemorating the nation's 250th. Major support for Our Shared Future: 250 has been provided by Lilly Endowment Inc. Additional contributions have been made by Target and the Gates Foundation.To watch a video version of this podcast find us on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/smithsonian

Cassie sits down with Elle Rudnick, Manager of Integrated Marketing at Rare Beauty, to talk about what it really takes to build a community-first brand in a category that's saturated with brands claiming to be exactly that. Elle brings a unique lens shaped by nearly a decade across fashion and beauty — from merchandising to brand marketing — and walks us through how she's translating that experience into Rare Beauty's integrated strategy across social, influencer, PR, and partnerships. She breaks down the no-phone, no-photos community dinner series she launched within months of joining the brand, why she's had to redefine what "perfect" means in a fast-moving industry, and the communication and collaboration skills she considers the highest-leverage investment of her career. If you're trying to build a brand people feel something for — not just buy from — this conversation is full of specific, actionable takeaways.Key Takeaways:// Consumer behavior doesn't change just because the product does. Elle's transition from apparel to beauty taught her that both categories are ultimately about identity — apparel is how people express themselves outwardly, beauty is more intimate, about how people see themselves and want to be seen. That insight sharpened her approach to emotional marketing across the board.// Consumers can tell when you're "just posting to post." The biggest trend Elle is seeing: people want real connection, not surface-level content. Brands that treat community as a checkbox get called out fast — the ones that actually build with their audience earn deeper loyalty.// Redefine what "perfect" means in a fast-moving industry. Early in her career, Elle equated perfect with flawless. Now, she defines it as clear, intentional, and aligned — because waiting for 100% polish means missing the moment entirely. Her approach: get to a strategically sound place, then execute and iterate based on real-time consumer feedback.// The best campaigns make people think "wait, that's literally me." Elle's taste as a marketer is rooted in emotional relatability — honesty, nostalgia, humor, and small human details. Aspiration still matters, but she's far more drawn to aspiration that feels attainable and emotionally grounded than to anything overly polished or manufactured.// "Community first" is becoming a buzzword — and consumers are starting to expect proof, not just claims. Elle is watching closely to see which brands actually back up the label with real action, and is intentional about making sure Rare Beauty's community initiatives are recognizable as distinctly theirs, not just another version of what everyone else is doing.Connect with Elle: LinkedIn____Join the MHH Collective!

If Adam Silver doesn't come down hard on the Clippers for their alleged cap circumvention, pay days may become a mainstay in NBA economics. The guys discuss this and the notion of what fans and athletes owe each other (with Tom Brady as the example).

This week on In A Pickle, Henry Ruggs gets denied parole (shocking absolutely nobody), Jonathan Cooper somehow finds himself in even more trouble after being arrested again just days after being named one of our biggest pickles, and former NFL linebacker Darron Lee is now facing a first-degree murder charge as prosecutors weigh whether to pursue the death penalty.We also revisit the Kawhi Leonard/Aspiration scandal as Aspiration co-founder Joseph Sanberg is sentenced to 14 years in federal prison for a $248 million fraud scheme. What does it mean for the Clippers and Kawhi's endorsement deals? We discuss.In the news, we remember former NFL star Aldon Smith, who passed away suddenly at age 36 after years of battling personal and legal issues. We also cover James Harden's arrest on a weapons charge after police allegedly found a handgun in his vehicle during an early morning stop in Houston.Then it's time for this week's Biggest Pickle. UFC fighter Josh Hokit takes center stage after a post-fight interview on the White House lawn sparked controversy across the sports world. The comments were so over the top that even Dana White publicly condemned them. We break down the fallout, Hokit's reaction, and why this story exploded far beyond the UFC.All that and more on a show dedicated to the less glamorous side of sports.

Sokrates war ein radikaler Denker – so radikal, dass ihn die Athener schliesslich zum Tode verurteilten. Die Philosophin Agnes Callard plädiert dafür, es ihm gleichzutun in seiner radikalen Wahrheitssuche. Denn sie stimmt Sokrates zu: Nur das geprüfte Leben ist es wert, gelebt zu werden. Agnes Callard, Professorin für Philosophie in Chicago, verteidigt Sokrates als Vorbild für die Gegenwart: Ein gutes Leben, so ihre These, setzt voraus, dass wir es unablässig prüfen und uns unbequemen, «unzeitgemässen» Fragen stellen. Stattdessen organisieren die meisten ihren Alltag im Viertelstundentakt und dringen nie zum tieferen Sinn des Lebens vor. Für Callard besteht dieser in der Idee der Aspiration: dem beständigen Streben nach intellektueller Reife, die nichts mit Selbstoptimierung, aber viel mit der Einsicht in die eigene Unwissenheit und der Sehnsucht nach Wissen zu tun hat. Die gute Nachricht: Wir sind in diesem Streben nicht allein. Ganz wie Sokrates ist sie der Ansicht, dass wir nur dank des Dialogs mit anderen zu Wissen vordringen. Das menschliche Streben denkt sie bis in die intimsten Bereiche weiter: in einer «aufstrebenden Ehe» wachsen die Liebenden gemeinsam als Personen. Barbara Bleisch fragt Agnes Callard, wie ein sokratisches Leben gelingt, warum Sokrates offen war für Polyamorie und weshalb er bereit war, den Schierlingsbecher zu trinken.
