We now have a Middle East peace plan. The problem is, how do you suddenly erase a tenet of Islam that demands the killing of infidels (Christians and Jews)? How do Islamic nations that want to wipe Israel off the face of the earth all of a sudden accept Israel as a nation? Is peace with Islam attainable or is there a deception underway that is going into silence for a time only to resurge with a greater fury than ever? Returning to Crosstalk to address this subject was Usama Dakdok. Usama is founder of the Straight Way of Grace Ministry. He is the speaker on the daily radio broadcast, Revealing the Truth About Islam. Hamas, Hezbollah, ISIS, the PLO...the name doesn't matter. According to Usama, they're all on the same team. This is the key point to understand, particularly as it pertains to whether or not Hamas is really ready to recognize Israel's right to exist. This would not seem to be the case as Jim indicated that Qatar and Turkey want to rebuild Hamas, not Gaza. As audio from an Islamic cleric showed, the goal is to make America an Islamic nation. In light of that, what are we to make of the security guarantees made to Qatar and the training of their military pilots on U.S. soil? Is this a "Trojan horse" that President Trump, Vice President J.D. Vance and Secretary of War Pete Hegseth are somehow not aware of? Jim also reported that Pope Leo is opening a Muslim prayer room at the Vatican. All of this shows how the world appears to be rolling out the "red carpet" for Islam, but will its adherents show thanks in the form of lasting peace? How can it when the term Islam means "submission"? Hear what Usama's experience and research shows.

Send us a textWant to know how a small city can protect its red rock vistas and still welcome new families? We sit down with a 31-year-old Ivins candidate who makes a clear, practical case for balancing heritage, housing, and modern city management—without turning the place into another resort corridor. He shares how growing up in Ivins, interning at the Utah Capitol, and working on statewide campaigns shaped a leadership style that blends clear principles with real listening, especially to younger residents who rarely see themselves on the council.We dig into attainable housing mandates from the state and what a thoughtful, design-first response looks like: mixed housing near parks and paths, duplexes and quads that match neighborhood character, and targeted density along Highway 91 where infrastructure can support it. On the revenue side, we get into property taxes, constrained city funding models, and why smarter tools—like a narrowly scoped sales tax for public safety and even autonomous mowers to free staff for higher-impact work—can stretch dollars without sacrificing service. Throughout, he argues for a walkable fabric of small businesses—clinics, family restaurants, kid-friendly activities—that keep life local and sales tax steady.Environmental protection is non-negotiable: water planning with the conservancy district, protecting Night Sky and Snow Canyon viewsheds, and accelerating land trusts through the Open Spaces Committee to preserve working farms and the rural feel. He also calls for a digital-first civic process: opt-in alerts for zone changes, short resident surveys, and regular plan updates so the data guiding decisions stays current. It's a candid, hopeful blueprint for a city that holds on to what it loves while making room for who's next.Please make sure you like and subscribe, share it with other voters throughout Washington County to help them make informed decisions in the upcoming election.

The biggest tin foil hat conspiracy theory we all need to pay attention to is we humans have the ability to think and exist in a bigger way.   From a young age, we're programmed to play smaller.    Why would we do this?     First off, control.    When a colt horse is a colt or a pony, you can tie it to the reigns and to a poll.    Once it realize it can't break free from the pole, it stops fighting.    The reigns are removed and now, they're tame.     The same goes for humans.    If you think you can do something or you can do something, you're right.    How do you do bigger things?    It's simple.    Goaling and regoaling.    If you want to make one million dollars.    Goal number one is $100,000.    Goal number 2 is $250,000.    Goal number 3 is $500,000.    And so on and so forth.    It takes time to hit your goals, but you can't go from 0 to a million.    If you want to make $100,000, you have to make $300 a day.    Set an attainable goal.    Reach the goal.    Reset the goal.    Rinse and repeat.      About the ReWire Podcast   The ReWire Podcast with Ryan Stewman – Dive into powerful insights as Ryan Stewman, the HardCore Closer, breaks down mental barriers and shares actionable steps to rewire your thoughts.

This episode delves into the crucial role of well-positioned goals in a developer's career. It asserts that goals provide clarity, perspective, and purpose, particularly focusing on clarity as a primary benefit. The discussion challenges common struggles with goal setting, including the often-overlooked importance of relevance (the 'R' in SMART goals), suggesting that an irrelevant goal, no matter how specific or measurable, is ultimately ineffective. The core message highlights that the purpose of a goal is to serve as a clarifying and prioritising tool, enabling you to make decisions about what to do and focus your efforts, rather than simply doing work that is handed to you. You will learn to start small and focus on desired outcomes or what you want to be true, accepting that a goal only needs to be "directionally correct" rather than perfect. The episode also provides a practical heuristic: to set goals by considering how your boss will evaluate your performance in the future. It emphasises the importance of setting goals that are challenging but sustainable, avoiding common pitfalls like overly abstract, too easy, or demoralisingly difficult goals, to prevent disengagement and burnout. Ultimately, consistent goal setting and reflection are presented as key drivers for long-term career success.Understand the fundamental importance of goals in providing clarity, perspective, and purpose in your career, especially for driven developers.Recognise that relevance is the most critical factor in goal setting; a goal's specificity or measurability is meaningless if it is not the right goal for you.Grasp that the primary function of a goal is to help you make decisions about what to do, acting as a clarifying, prioritising, and focusing tool for your efforts.Challenge the mindset that your goal as a software engineer is merely to complete assigned work; without personal goals, your career changes and skill development will be difficult.Learn to start small when setting goals and focus on desired outcomes or what you genuinely want to be true in your career.Embrace the concept of a "directionally correct" goal, understanding that a goal does not need to be perfect to guide you effectively towards a larger, long-term outcome.Utilise reflection after meeting a goal to assess whether it moved you closer to your long-term objectives, providing valuable steering for future goals.Employ a practical heuristic for goal setting: imagine how your boss would evaluate your performance in six months or a year, and set goals around those anticipated factors.Be proactive in discussing career growth and goal setting with your manager, framing it as an opportunity for them to direct your efforts towards organisational wins.Identify and avoid common pitfalls in goal setting, such as goals that are too abstract (not tractable), too easy (causing disengagement), or too difficult (leading to demoralisation).Strive for goals that offer a challenging but sustainable chance of success (e.g., around a 60% probability), requiring focus and the ability to say no, without leading to burnout.Understand that consistency in setting and pursuing goals is what ultimately defines long-term success, rather than the perfection of any single goal.

The dream of owning a home is increasingly slipping out of reach for many, so what exactly makes housing "attainable" in today's market? Jordon Tench, director of land acquisition and development at O'Dwyer Homes, joins Host Carol Morgan on the Atlanta Real Estate Forum Radio podcast to discuss methods for introducing affordable options to the Atlanta housing market. What is attainable housing? Tench describes attainable housing as “housing that a large portion of people can afford and not spend more than 30% of their income on the payments.” For some homebuyers, that amount is significantly higher than what others can afford, so it's key for builders to consider the broader buyer population. O'Dwyer Homes engages in discussions with local jurisdictions to find pockets where higher-density communities can be developed. Tench said, “I think that a good metric I've heard is that every $1,000 you go up on a house, 100,000 more people cannot qualify for it.” O'Dwyer Homes currently has two townhome communities in progress, one in the City of Atlanta and the other in Mableton, that sit within the affordable price range. With no square footage requirements, Tench explains that the intown community will offer a mix of floor plans that span 1,400 to 2,000 square feet. Similarly, 20% of the homes at the Mableton community will be under 1,800 square feet. How does strict jurisdiction affect home builders and buyers? The Georgia Public Policy Foundation recently identified that almost 30% of the final house price is due to extra regulations, which amounts to nearly $100,000 for a new construction home. While energy efficiency has improved significantly, saving homebuyers thousands of dollars upfront, other “impact fees” cause them to spend money on unnecessary elements, such as exterior brickwork. “That [exterior brick] adds probably $15,000 to $20,000 per house and doesn't look good,” said Tench. “It doesn't allow for variety and those homeowners were kind of stuck with that $20,000 or $30,000 item, where they would have rather spent that money somewhere else.” Tench points out that increasing density has the potential to lower home prices. If a house is built for $200 per square foot, then a 1,000-square-foot home would be $200,000. “When you look at the land, the land itself continues to be more expensive and development costs have almost doubled over the last five years,” said Tench. “So, where you could develop a lot at $50,000, now you're at $100,000 as a starting point. A lot of that comes down to inability to get density.” Another factor that impacts attainable housing is the lengthy timeline from a builder's letter of intent to actively selling out of a community. As interest rates fluctuate and buyers hesitate, it's difficult for builders to navigate the ups and downs. In his role on the Greater Atlanta Home Builders Association's (GAHBA) Government Affairs Committee, Tench gets a front-row seat on how these regulations affect the housing market. He uses his day-to-day experience in land acquisition for O'Dwyer to paint a clearer picture for local legislators and advocate for homebuyers. The committee is confronting impact fees and permitting timelines head-on to support the goals of builders and homebuyers in metro Atlanta.

Season 7 Episode 19: In this episode, Pete Codella, managing director of business services at the Governor's Office of Economic Opportunity, talks with Ryan Wedig, CEO and co-founder of Vasion, opens in a new tab. Wedig shares his journey of co-founding PrinterLogic — now Vasion — in St. George in 2012. He recounts meeting the founder and recognizing the potential of his print server elimination technology as the IT landscape shifted towards private clouds. Wedig, with a background in systems engineering and an MBA, partnered to build the business, initially focusing on eliminating print servers before expanding the company's vision. He highlights the unexpected impact of its technology during the COVID-19 pandemic, which led to Vasion's broader mission: to make digital transformation attainable for everyone. Wedig discusses the company's vision of bridging the gap between humans and AI by offering affordable and accessible solutions, contrasting this with expensive and often antiquated systems of existing workflow providers. He emphasizes Vasion's commitment to security and its architectural focus on building native security features rather than relying on complex integrations. Wedig details Vasion's role in fostering a tech community in St. George, culminating in the development of Tech Ridge. He shares the company's global reach, its recognition as a top workplace, and its ambitious goal to lead the market in AI automation over the next three years.

Do you ever just wonder... when is enough enough? Will I ever feel like I've "made it"? Is it even possible to achieve satisfaction as an entrepreneur?  In this episode, I am sharing with you about the HUGE epiphany I've had this month about where I am at and how I'm feeling in business. Spoiler alert: I'm feeling satisfied, fulfilled and CHILL for the first time ever about where I am at. These are my reflections on the inner and outer work it took to get here. My harvest era. It wasn't that long ago that I *demanded* my business become more reciprocal and I knew things had to change... I remember deeply reflecting last April if I would continue my business at all, And in November of 2024 I decided to focus more on writing and speaking since speaking gigs have been paying me most generously.  I'm happy to say that I've really stuck to that focus of serving my existing communities (including The Hive now!) and the speaking and writing.  AND - I am at a spot where I would truly use the word "thriving" to describe my business and it's not just a numbers thing. It's an energy thing. It's a reciprocity thing. It's a fulfillment thing.

Soil health is attainable. Anthony Beery of Beery Farms and Cumberland Hay and Straw LLC shares that message with Mary Sketch Bryant and Jeff Ishee based on his farming experience and journey. Anthony grew up in the Shenandoah Valley where he and his father Danny raised dairy cows and poultry. Anthony benefitted from his father's mentorship and encouragement to be open to new ideas and experimenting.Anthony and his family moved to Cumberland County in 2018 to begin custom crop production and start Cumberland Hay & Straw LLC. Anthony received the 2024 Carl Luebben Soil Health and Water Quality Award at the Virginia Farm-to-Table Conference for his commitment, example, and mentorship of other farmers.  If you are just starting your soil health journey, Anthony emphasizes taking a step and starting with the basics: learn the soil type and previous land use, test for nutrient content and pH, and understand the areas where nutrients are low and high. For Anthony, soil compaction was a limiting factor on his farm that started his commitment to earnest no-till farming, experimenting with diverse cover crop rotations, and continued devotion to core principles of soil health. As always, we encourage you to start your soil health journey and follow the four principles of soil health: 1) Keep the Soil Covered -- Cover crops are our friends; 2) Minimize soil disturbance -- Practice no-till or gentle tillage in your field or garden as much as possible; 3) Maximize living roots year-round -- to improve biodiversity and life in the soil; and 4) Energize with diversity -- through crop rotation and/or livestock integration. Yes, soil health is attainable and we can all be 4 The Soil! To enjoy the recent We Are 4 the Soil song created by the Flip Charts, please visit   https://www.4thesoil.org/#we-are-4-the-soil-video.

How do you transform a 100-year-old institution into a modern hub for innovation and technology while staying true to its legacy?  In today's episode of Tech Talks Daily, I'm joined by Dr. Joyce Brown, the first woman and first African American president of the Fashion Institute of Technology (FIT). With 26 years of leadership, Dr. Brown has revolutionized this globally renowned institution, blending technology and creativity to shape the future of fashion education. Dr. Brown shares how she took over an antiquated institution in 1998 and brought it into the modern era, quadrupling the use of technology in teaching and making FIT a center for innovation and entrepreneurship. At the heart of this transformation is the DTech Lab, FIT's on-campus innovation hub, where students collaborate with brands like Adidas, Netflix, and Girl Scouts to solve real-world challenges. From redesigning Girl Scouts uniforms to using IBM Watson for brand DNA analysis with Tommy Hilfiger, these projects highlight how FIT bridges the gap between education and industry. We also explore FIT's emphasis on sustainability and bio-design, where students work with materials like mycelium and kombucha to create sustainable fibers, and even maintain a natural dye garden for eco-friendly fabric coloring. Dr. Brown discusses how FIT has adapted to major global challenges, including the COVID-19 pandemic and social justice movements, by creating safe spaces for dialogue and encouraging students to express their concerns through their creative work. This episode offers a fascinating inside look at how FIT prepares the next generation of fashion professionals by integrating technology, sustainability, and innovation into its curriculum. Whether you're interested in the intersection of fashion and technology or the future of education, this conversation with Dr. Joyce Brown will leave you inspired. How do you see technology shaping the future of education and creative industries? Join the conversation and share your thoughts!
