Podcasts about assumptions

In a crowded neighborhood just outside New Delhi, children started vanishing one by one. Their families begged the police for help, only to be ignored. So the parents decided to take matters into their own hands, and what they uncovered led to one of the most horrifying discoveries in India's criminal history. As shocking new details come to light nearly two decades later, the question remains: Did the justice system get it right…or was the real truth buried all along? If you're new here, don't forget to follow the show for weekly deep dives into the darkest true crime cases! To watch the video version of this episode, head over to youtube.com/@annieelise. 

Navy Lt. Commander Thomas E. Caldwell disabled veteran in his sixties—was living peacefully on his Virginia family farm when FBI agents executed a pre-dawn SWAT raid. The charges? That he was a leader of the Oath Keepers who stormed the Capitol and "hunted down" members of Congress.Every single claim was false.Tom was never a member of the Oath Keepers. He never entered the Capitol. He never planned an attack. The Government has since admitted all of this—but only after Tom spent over 50 days in solitary confinement and endured years of prosecution. Navy Intelligence officer, acquitted of all conspiracy charges, Supreme Court victory - with documented proof of prosecutorial misconduct: Assistant U.S. Attorney lying to magistrates, DOJ perjury, falsified evidence. With Trump now reviewing FBI leadership and 4,000+ agents, Tom's story explains exactly why that matters. Plus, Tom's incredibly compelling on how faith sustained him through 53 days of solitary confinement and years of persecution.The Mouths of the Wicked releases November 6 WHY NOW: Tom's explosive new book, The Mouths of the Wicked: A True January 6 Story of Corruption, Persecution, Survival, and Victory, releases November 6. For years, he was legally silenced. Now pardoned, he's finally free to reveal everything—how the FBI made assumptions without investigation, how he corrected their "evidence" during interrogation, and how the media branded him a would-be assassin. All lies. All documented. THE NEWS HOOK: The Trump administration is conducting an unprecedented review of FBI leadership and the 4,000+ agents who worked Jan. 6 cases—raising urgent questions about investigative standards and accountability. Tom's case is documented proof of what went wrong: the FBI raided based on assumptions, held him 50+ days in solitary, then quietly admitted every charge was false. As the bureau faces scrutiny over its Jan. 6 investigations, Tom's story reveals the human cost of "arrest first, investigate later." YOUR AUDIENCE NEEDS TO HEAR THIS: The FBI raided based on ASSUMPTIONS—admitted they were wrong AFTER the arrest Held 50+ days in solitary for crimes the Government now admits he didn't commit Never entered the Capitol, yet branded a terrorist and assassin A disabled veteran in his sixties treated like a violent extremist First time telling the complete, unfiltered story Tom is a grandfather-aged Christian veteran who served his country honorably—only to have that government destroy his reputation and livelihood based on false accusations they later retracted. With The Mouths of the Wicked released November 6, he's finally telling the full truth. "Even a pardon does not bring full restoration." — Thomas E. Caldwell Feature: "FAKE NEWS!! CFACT.org @CFACTDonnaJackson - COP30: The usual suspects sound the alarm, but funding is diminishing By Peter Murphy| November 10th, 2025|11Comments Prince William speaks, but others are singing a newclimate tune Belém, Brazil The CFACT crew has descended upon this year’s UnitedNations 30th Conference of the Parties, hosted by the nation ofBrazil in the northern city of Belém. The adjacent and thought-to-be preciousAmazon rainforest received a major haircut to make way for the new AvenidaLiberdade highway and hotel space for this annual gabfest on climateexistentialism. Right on cue, world leaders began the proceedings to sound thealarm. The wrinkle for this year’s conference is that fewerpeople are listening to the familiar and shopworn admonitions about climateexistentialism to the planet, starting with the executive branch of thewealthiest nation and one of the top climate donors. Let’s start with the future king of the rapidly decliningBritish Empire, William, the Prince of Wales. Following in his father’s climatefootsteps, “Wills,” as his late mother, Diana, affectionately referred tohim, warned:“All of us here today understand that we are edging dangerously close to theearth’s critical tipping points … The melting of polar ice, the loss of theAmazon, the disruption of ocean currents … these are not distant threats. Theyare fast-approaching and will affect every one of us, no matter where we live.” Despite his vapid claim, “The science is clear,” theprince provided none in his speech. He should try next time with CFACT’s latest“Climate Fact Check” (here). William also praised his father, King Charles III, forinspiring him on the climate issue, and it shows. His speech had a familiarring, since then-Prince Charles said pretty much the same thing at COP26 inScotland back in 2021, which he summedup as the “last-chance saloon” for the planet Earth. His Royal Majesty the King has a longrecord of climate exaggerations and scaremongering that continue to bediscredited with the passage of time, yet it gives his son and successor nopause or humility on the subject. In 2009, Charles warned that “irretrievableclimate collapse” was just 100 months away. Just before 2017 came and went, herecalculated the point of no return to around 2050, thereby falling in linewith the UN groupthink goal of achieving “net-zero” carbon emissions worldwide. At this COP30, more than climate is changing, with atleast one long time activist and funder having second thoughts. Bill Gates,founder and former long-time head of the Microsoft Corporation and for a timethe wealthiest man on planet Earth, has been rethinking his approach to climateby shifting his fortune to other, more urgent priorities. This matters greatlysince he presides over the largest private foundation, valued at$86 billion. While he still views climate change as a “problem,” Mr.Gates said lastmonth, “It will not lead to humanity’s demise” — a statement that cuts the legsout from under the entire climate agenda. That is because if the planet’sfuture and humanity itself no longer hang in the balance, there is no reason tolight everyone’s hair on fire — and extract trillions of taxpayer dollars anddebt — to purportedly deal with the matter. Rather, Gates writes, “Our chief goal should be toprevent suffering, particularly for those in the toughest conditions who livein the world’s poorest countries.” This means curbing CO2 emissions willtake a distant back seat. The financial implications of this shift are significant.The massive Gates Foundation fortune shifting its priorities to fighting globalpoverty and disease in developing countries is money better spent. Trying tostop natural climate variations in one direction over the next 30 years willnot feed one malnourished child, nor will it stop another diseased child fromdying well before adulthood and the supposed climate Armageddon. Another big change at COP30 is the effect of democracyleading to the re-election of Donald Trump as president of the U.S., resultingin the absence of his administration at COP30. The president is defunding the“Green New Scam,” as he describes it, which we will explore later this week. Money is the mother’s milk of the climate industry.Having the richest country and the richest benefactor either pull the plug orshift priorities is a very big deal. Which brings us back to Prince William. Notwithstandingthe British royal family’s climate silliness and hypocrisy, Igive credit to William and his lovely wife, Kate, who otherwise are genuine andcommitted public servants, in contrast to their pretentious grifter relatives residingeight time zones westward. With King Charles, who turns 77 this week and hasbeen fighting cancer for two years, William will soon ascend to the throne ashead of state to a rapidly declining Great Britain with a growing litany oftroubles and crises that eclipse esoteric climate change. Now that Prince William’s climate trek to Brazil and hisvirtue-signaling speech are behind him, he should focus his nation on energydevelopment, the economy, migrant issues, and his nation’s assault on freespeech, to name a few much higher priorities than climate. CFACT isat the Brazil climate conference where the UN has learned nothing By Craig Rucker| CFACT This year’s big UN climate summit opens today in Belem,Brazil, and CFACT’s team of policy experts is there! President Trump’s withdrawal from the Paris Climate Accord,coupled with his epic takedown ofclimate dogma at the UN General Assembly, has sent shockwaves through the UNclimate establishment. While the U.S. may be boycotting the conference, UNCOP30 is kicking off today solidly under Trump’s shadow. It is time for the President to lead us even further. CFACT said in a press release: “CNN has already hyped COP30 as ‘one of the mostconsequential climate summits in a decade’ — but it could prove even morehistoric. For the first time since the U.S. signed the 1992 Rio Earth Summittreaty, there will be no official U.S. delegation present.” “Undeterred, CFACT’s team of U.S. climate skeptics isstepping up as the self-declared ‘unofficial’ U.S. delegation to COP30. They’llbe on the ground to amplify Bill Gates’ recent climate realism — that climatechange ‘will not lead to humanity’s demise’ — while backing the more than100 nations that have yet to submit their so-called ‘required’ plans tothe UN for hitting the Paris Accord’s net-zero targets. “CFACT will also expose the clear-cutting of thousands ofacres of the tropical Amazon rainforest to build a highway to accommodatethe COP30 event.” Team Climate will not relinquish a dollar of funding or anounce of power without a fight. Rachel Cleetus, of the Union ofConcerned Scientists said, “No country, including the United Statesthat is now being led by an anti-science, increasingly authoritarian Trumpadministration, can stop global climate action … The question is, is it goingto accelerate fast enough, given the dire space we’re in now with the climatecrisis? We have this rapidly shrinking window. The science is absolutelystark.” We’re hearing a lot of similar talk at the conference. Peter Murphy explains at CFACT.org that “moneyis the mother’s milk of the climate industry. Having the richestcountry and the richest benefactor either pull the plug or shift priorities isa very big deal.” While President Trump’s actions represent tremendousprogress in the fight to reestablish climate realism, the UN climate processremains incredibly dangerous. CFACT is on the job. We’ll keep you fully informed. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

John is joined by Scottish musician and producer Sam Gellaitry. Described as “your favourite producer's favourite producer”, Sam's innovative, genre-blending electronic music and superb production skills have earned him a loyal fan following and industry respect over the past decade.  Sam signed his first deal, with XL Recordings, at just 18. While early EPs were purely instrumental, Sam started to incorporate his own vocals on fifth EP, IV (2021). The track ‘Assumptions' from the EP became his biggest hit to date, reaching No. 5 on the US Dance Chart. In 2022, Sam's collaboration with Pink Pantheress, ‘Picture in my Mind', brought him to mainstream attention. The same year, he released his mixtape VF VOL II and was named by EDM as one of the 10 best producers of the year. Sam has toured extensively with artists including Kaytranada and Justice whilst continuing to release singles and selling out a multiple-night residency at cult London club Phonox. Sam's debut album, ‘ANYWHERE HERE IS PERFECT' was released on 7th November 2025. Sitting down at Baltic Studios in London, Sam talks John through how the gear he uses has evolved over the years and the bespoke approaches he takes to create his unique, 80s-influenced sound. Sam talks about how having synaesthesia (experiencing music as colours) since childhood has been central to his creative process, his techniques for producing vocals and string sounds on the album, and much more!

In the still hours before dawn, a 911 call pierced the silence of a quiet Houston neighborhood. On the line was a teenage boy, his voice shaking as he confessed to something unthinkable. Moments earlier, he had stepped into his twin sister Meghan's bedroom. It was something he'd done countless times before, but this time, everything was different. What unfolded inside that house would leave an entire family shattered and a community grasping for answers. A tragedy without warning. A bond no one could understand breaking. And a question that still lingers: what really happened in the Elliott home that night? .

They were ready to fight. They thought they knew the truth. They were wrong.Joshua 22 shows how fast things can go wrong when we rush to judgment. As the Israelites were making their way northward toward Canaan, some of the tribes found the land east of the Jordan to be quite attractive. They asked to settle there, and permission was granted for the tribes of Reuben, Gad, and half of the tribe of Manasseh to stake their claims.The only stipulation was that the troops from those tribes were to assist their brothers in conquering the territory west of the Jordan. Once the fighting was done and the land divided, the Reubenites, Gadites, and men of Manasseh, returned to their land and families east of the Jordan. But when the troops got to the edge of the river, somebody probably said, “Wait a minute. Suppose, sometime in the future, someone would say to our descendants, ‘You can't really be God's people – you're on the wrong side of the river!'”They decided, as a safeguard against that and to preserve their connection with the western tribes, they would build a monument. The text says that it looked like an altar – a place for sacrifice and worship.  But it was never intended to be that.  It was simply to be a reminder that they were part of the people of God.Seems so innocent, doesn't it?  Not to the western tribes. They jumped to the conclusion that the eastern tribes had built their own place to worship God—something strictly forbidden. “This is heresy!” they thought. And they strapped on their swords, intending to go to war against their brothers.The problem was, they didn't pause to look into the situation first. Instead, they rushed to judgment and nearly destroyed untold lives.   Fortunately, cooler heads prevailed. They sent some elders to get the facts. Their eastern brothers were horrified that their efforts to mark unity could be so badly interpreted. But because someone took the time to look into it rather than jump to conclusions, a split among God's people was averted. Such close calls still happen today among God's people. And all too often, the tragedy isn't averted. Misunderstandings arise. Assumptions are made. Accusations follow. And in the end, friendships are lost. Partnerships are ended. Churches are split.So, given this, let me offer you several points to remember lest you rush to judgment. Set your default to think the best not presume the worst.Get the facts before you draw your conclusion.Let your commitment to unity trump your need to be right. If we hope to live a life of courageous faith and be communities of courageous faith, we must commit to love and unity. In the words of St. Paul:“Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love.  Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace.”Ephesians 4:2-3   Text: Joshua 22Originally recorded on November 27, 2016, at Fellowship Missionary Church, Fort Wayne, IN 

Ephesians 1: 15-23 Ephesians 3: 14-21 When you pray to God, what underlying assumptions about God do you bring to the interaction? Do you believe God to be: loving? trustworthy? concerned with your life? These assumptions, and honestly our biases, fundamentally shape how we pray, the nature of our prayer life, and a good portion of our spiritual journey as a whole. Susan Scott preached on the prayer that started in Ephesians 1, was interrupted, and finished in Ephesians 3. What can we learn from this prayer? God is knowable, worth knowing, and stands ready to impart the wisdom and most importantly, the hope that we need. This hope is not for riches or aggrandizement, but rather that God will do what they have promised to do and to aid us in our calling. This hope allows us to wait patiently for the things that God has promised that we do not yet have. Ultimately, this hope is that God will reconcile all things in heaven and earth through Jesus. Hope give us the ability to endure the feelings of helplessness and despair when the world around us seems dark and unredeemable: when all of our efforts to bring light and salt appear futile. Remember that God wastes none of the work that they call you to do and that is all a part of a plan of redemption that started even before Christ appeared.

This is part two of my series on the assumptions strangers make about you. I'm breaking down how your speech patterns, tone, and pace tell people a lot about your confidence, even when you don't say much. I also talk about how silence still speaks, because people will always judge based on what they see and feel. And finally, I share why controlling your first impression matters, from your presence and energy to how you carry yourself, both online and in person.

Strangers are always sizing you up, just like you size them up. Nobody cares about your story, your resume, or what's really going on in your life. They make snap judgments about you in seconds, based on what they see, hear, or even smell.

Building the right thing is hard. Building the wrong thing is easy and costly. In this episode, Jason Sparks, Principal Product Manager at ReUp Education, dives deep into the discipline of continuous validation inside enterprise environments. From managing stakeholder pressure to proactively engaging customers in discovery, Jason shares battle-tested approaches for avoiding the classic trap of solution-first thinking.Chapters0:00 – The risk of unvalidated assumptions1:02 – Meet Jason Sparks and his mission at ReUp3:02 – From college dropout to product leader5:19 – Product-market fit inside the enterprise6:03 – Why most ideas don't need building8:10 – Misalignment: wrong product, wrong market10:05 – Executive interference and assumption management12:33 – Validation is not a one-off14:44 – Continuous discovery in practice15:38 – How to validate enterprise product ideas17:02 – Story decks, user interviews and field testing19:11 – Grading feedback and customer fit21:11 – The danger of over-friendly users23:08 – The power of early champions25:21 – Preparing for and running discovery sessions27:35 – Value testing and competitor awareness29:08 – When to walk away from the wrong customer31:17 – What happens after the meetings33:30 – The role of AI in user research35:46 – What Jason would do differently todayWhat you'll learn from Jason— Validation should be continuous: One round of user feedback isn't enough. Real product-market fit evolves through repeated conversations and iteration.— Assumptions must be challenged: Build a culture where being proven wrong is celebrated, not feared.— Don't let leadership derail discovery: Product managers must set boundaries and bring clarity on the problem space before execution begins.— Grading users is as critical as grading feedback: Identify the right customers to listen to—being nice isn't the same as being the right fit.— Use discovery decks to guide conversations: Jason uses bold assumptions, interactive sessions, and immediate iteration to refine ideas quickly.— Tech accelerates, but doesn't replace, human insight: AI tools for sentiment and semantic analysis are powerful but should supplement—not substitute—real human interaction.Featured Links:We're taking Community Questions for The Product Experience podcast.Got a burning product question for Lily, Randy, or an upcoming guest?

This episode has a fantastic conversation with Dr. Tim Elmore and explores the nuances and realities in working with Gen Z.  Highlighting the importance of understanding individual circumstances rather than making assumptions is one of the key elements Dr. Elmore brings forward.   He emphasizes the need for empathy and communication to bridge the gap between different work cultures of the generations.   He also says that we need to get curious instead of furious and fascinated instead of frustrated.  His new book, The Future Begins with Z: Nine Strategies to Lead Generation Z as They DISRUPT the Workplace is out now!  I highly recommend that you go get it because it is full of such great strategies.   Takeaways   There's a perception that younger generations don't want to work. Many young people juggle multiple jobs to make ends meet. Personal circumstances can greatly influence work behavior. Asking questions can lead to better understanding. Generational differences in work ethic can be bridged with empathy. Younger generations may have a different but strong work ethic. Communication is key to understanding work motivations. Assumptions can lead to misunderstandings in the workplace. Recognizing individual challenges can foster better work relationships. Tapping into the passion of younger workers can enhance productivity.   Want more info about Emerging Leader Academy?

Ephesians 1:15-23 & 3:14-21 Susan asked us what kind of assumptions we have about God. Our picture of God shapes how we pray just like our assumptions about other people shape those conversations. We're all afflicted with unconscious bias, which we know, but often don't recognize. The lectionary readings in Ephesians brings us to a great prayer. The prayer, which begins in chapter 1, is interrupted by the author's enthusiastic theological reflections and picked up again in chapter 3. This is a prayer that is useful for any of us. And it's useful for us as a congregation at a time of transition as we're looking to see who God is going to bring us. Even when you may not feel it, or feel like your prayers are being answered, know that God is utterly caught up in the details of our situation and cares for us more than we care for ourselves. You are precious to God, you are loved, and God is glad to hear from you. A great help in surviving trying times is the knowledge, or even just the hope, that God is present to us and loves us. Knowing you are loved goes a long way in our ability to persevere.

This week on Headline Highlights: new updates have surfaced in the Bryan Kohberger case as he tries to weasel out of paying restitution to the victims' families. A French woman who was held captive by a couple for five years has finally escaped, shocking investigators with the details of her confinement. Police are investigating the murder of 25-year-old Chloe Henry, whose body was found dumped in a ditch just ten miles from her hometown of Moeres, New York. In a bizarre case out of Texas, a woman was arrested after running over her husband with an SUV, claiming she “tried to hit him, not kill him.” And the search intensifies for 9-year-old Melodee Buzzard, while her mother refuses to cooperate with investigators.

Hi Friends!Today we explore more embodiment exercises, as anchoring in the safety and security of our ever-deepening realization of the Divine is time well spent. We then embrace potential resistance in the context of underlying assumptions that no longer belong in our expanding identity or the Reality we've claimed. Neville offers three questions that bring dramatic clarity to old assumptions that no longer serve.

Wedding days inside a church can feel like navigating a maze of policies, people, and expectations, and many planners carry battle scars from these sacred spaces. In this episode, Master Certified Wedding Planner & Certified Educator, Emma Cockerham joins Krisy Thomas, COO of the CWP Society, to unpack why church venues often feel more challenging and how to transform tension into trust through intentional communication and genuine respect.From first contact to final blessing, Emma maps out a calm, proven approach that honors sacred spaces while protecting timelines, budgets, and your couple's vision. We start with the real friction points: delayed outreach, multiple conflicting contacts, and the cycle of assumptions that creates unnecessary stress on both sides. You'll learn how to establish a single point of contact, use strategic CC etiquette to prevent crossed wires, and confirm who needs what information, and when.We dig deep into policy hot spots that trip up even experienced planners: florals, candles, adhesives, aisle access, photography angles, flash restrictions, and AV limitations. Emma shares how early briefings and coordinator-approved plans keep your creative team flexible instead of frustrated, plus practical scripts for introducing vendors to church coordinators, securing written clarity on access windows, and avoiding last-minute surprises that can derail your timeline or blow your couple's budget.The heart of this conversation is a powerful mindset shift: treat each church as a collaborative partner, lead with kindness, and follow through on every promise. We explore how showing deep respect for the ceremony as the true purpose of the day, using gratitude as a relationship-building tool, and documenting every decision creates a week-of experience that runs quietly and seamlessly. While these habits strengthen your work at any venue, they truly shine in sacred spaces where meaning runs deep and schedules are non-negotiable.If you want smoother rehearsals, warmer welcomes, and stronger referrals from both churches and vendors, this conversation delivers the roadmap. You'll walk away with communication strategies, clarity frameworks, and the confidence that comes from leading with genuine respect.If this episode reminded you why professionalism matters, subscribe, share it with a planner friend, and leave a review.

Episode 251How Men Read MindsSensers! So I been working since I was 16 years old starting at McDonald's on western branch blvd and throughout my career leading to my current profession, there's been a common issue that tends to plague a work environment from my perspective…communication. The assumptions, the delivery, the lack of communicating vital information to get the objective completed. I'd like to touch on some experiences with communication.We have a tendency to believe that those who “really love us” can read our minds (toxic thinking). Assumptions fuck us more often than not when it comes to communication, we can run away a scenario in our mind of how something was suppose to be then when it doesn't we find ourselves upset at the people who had no idea what our needs were. However for this topic, I'm speaking on the women who do such behavior.So…chemistry or compatibility? Which is more important? One can go back and forth on the subject, I believe both have their place. Obtaining both chemistry and compatibility can be a challenge for some of us. Let's talk about it….May God and His Universe remove any negative energy you may have stored from reading this. If you dig the episode, click, like, and share on your page.

What if I told you everything you think about yourself and the world is a lie? That might be a lie lol, but a decent amount of us walk around seeing life through a lens thats false, or through a lens of a tired story we tell ourselves. Today I'm sharing 3 recent lessons that taught me how important it is to fact check your assumptions before they negatively impact your potential, your relationships, and your life. And I'm sharing tactics with you that help you be more mindful every day and have a more clear perspective that allows you to be your best self. IG: @drconniewang, @justaquickpinch

When estranged adult children don't share their reasons for going no-contact, parents can be forgiven for making assumptions. Some assumptions can be helpful, and even somewhat soothing. But far more often during unwanted estrangement from adult children, assumptions made by parents make them feel powerless. Here are a few examples: My adult child's partner doesn't like me. My adult child is holding a grudge about something in the past. My adult child has a mental illness. My adult child didn't accept my written apology, and that's why they're still silent. Any of those could be true. But then again, they could also be false. Or irrelevant to the estrangement. In this thought-provoking episode, host Tina Gilbertson presents three separate statements from estranged parents, highlighting the assumptions they contain, and explaining why they're problematic. Next, she provides four simple questions we can ask when assumptions make us feel worse about ourselves or our situation. And lastly, she encourages listeners to focus on what they know, which is their own experience.
