Two Penn legal experts discuss the strategy behind EPA’s rescission of the Endangerment Finding and the court challenges ahead. --- On February 12, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency formally rescinded the endangerment finding, the 2009 determination that established the legal basis for federal regulation of greenhouse gas emissions. For 16 years, that finding has underpinned EPA climate policy, reflecting the agency’s conclusion that greenhouse gases pose a threat to human health and that, under the law, it was required to regulate them. The move represents a major shift in federal climate policy. But agencies cannot simply reverse themselves without making a legal case that can withstand court review. Cary Coglianese of the University of Pennsylvania Carey Law School and Shelley Welton of the Kleinman Center and Penn Carey Law examine the legal rationale behind the rescission and how it draws on recent Supreme Court decisions that have narrowed federal agency authority. Rather than disputing climate science, the EPA’s argument rests on a more limited reading of its powers under the Clean Air Act. Welton and Coglianese explain how that argument fits within the Court’s evolving approach to administrative power, and what it could mean for the future of federal climate regulation. Cary Coglianese is Director of the Penn Program on Regulation at the University of Pennsylvania Carey Law School. Shelley Welton is Presidential Distinguished Professor of Law and Energy Policy with the Kleinman Center and Penn Carey Law.

Why does creating content feel so damn hard? If you're stuck overthinking what to post, watching everyone else grow, editing captions 17 times, or feeling like you “have” to be everywhere online… this episode is for you. In this raw conversation, I break down: Why content feels forced (and how to fix it) The real reason you don't know what to post Why copying trends kills your authority How your calendar should drive your content The fastest way to build trust online Why engagement matters more than followers Content isn't about performing. It's not about pleasing everyone. It's not about chasing algorithms. It's about clarity. Authority. Connection. And when your content aligns with your offers, your story, and the real problems your audience has — it stops feeling hard. It starts working. If you've been stuck in the doom scroll, second-guessing yourself, or wondering why your content isn't converting… this will reset you.

Before God ever gave humanity a command, He gave us an assignment—to rule and reign in the earth. In episode four of “God's Image In Man,” Duane Sheriff addresses the critical difference between what God allows and what God wills. He explains that God's sovereignty is revealed not by controlling every outcome, but by granting humanity free will and delegated authority. When God gave Adam dominion, He bound Himself to that covenant—and God cannot break His word.The problems in our world do not flow from God's will, but from a failure to understand and exercise God-given dominion. This truth transforms how believers view suffering, injustice, and life's challenges. We were never meant to live as passive victims waiting on God to act. We have been given authority to rule over sin, darkness, and Satan—not over one another. When this truth is restored, responsibility replaces blame, and believers are empowered to walk in the authority God placed in their hands.Click for FREE offer ➡️ https://pastorduane.com/landing/gods-image-in-man

A Crisis of Authority. Six times, Jesus speaks a formula that is intended to provoke a crisis in the listeners' hearts: “You have heard it said... But I say to you...” Does he mean to open up the conversation about calcified religious law, doubling down on personal moral agency while releasing us from the scrutiny of rigorous watchdogs? (Yes.)

Over the last 35 years or so, Americans have changed their authority for how they determine right & wrong 3 different times already! Perhaps it's time we place our lives on something that never changes. Each week, we share engaging, expository messages and verse-by-verse Bible teaching from Lead Pastor David Sorn and other trusted guest speakers. These messages are rooted in Scripture and designed to help you understand God's Word in context and live it out with clarity and purpose. Whether you're exploring faith or growing in it, we pray they inspire and equip you to follow Jesus.

The Summons: Grappling With God's Kingdom and King (Part 7)The King is HereMark 2:23-28Rules can often leave a bitter taste. They can feel confining, stifling creativity and limiting freedom. Authority figures can silence people rather than guide them. Parents can fail to explain the heart behind their rules. Teachers can unintentionally shut down the inspiration of their students. For many, rules bring more frustration than order. But what if there was a perfect rule-maker? An Authority whose commands aren't meant to restrict, but to help His people thrive. A Father whose rules protect His children. A Teacher whose instructions lead to joy and new life. Living in a world full of broken rules and leaders, causes us to seek the voice of a gentle Shepherd. Join us this Sunday to discover how the commands of the King Jesus are for the flourishing of His subjects.

In this episode, I explain why authority is taken, not granted. I don't believe people respect you because they like you or think you're smart. They respect authority when resisting it would cost them more than accepting it. At a basic level, it's about power and consequences, not feelings. People fall in line because it makes practical sense, not because they were persuaded. Show Notes: [02:47]#1 Any authority that you have must be enforced, not requested.   [11:46]#2 Consistency makes authority unavoidable. [19:06]#3 Distance protects authority more than proximity. [27:14]#4 Recap Next Steps: --- Power Presence is not taught. It is enforced.

“Is ecumenism compromising doctrine?” This question leads to a discussion on the goals of ecumenism and whether it involves compromising with Protestant beliefs. Other topics include the Church’s relationship with modern culture, the historical and biblical basis for apostolic authority, and the theological implications of God’s actions in the stories of David and Bathsheba. Join the Catholic Answers Live Club Newsletter Invite our apologists to speak at your parish! Visit Catholicanswersspeakers.com Questions Covered: 01:41 – What is the goal of Ecumenism? Is it us compromising on doctrine with Protestants? 11:00 – Do you think the Church should change with modern culture or stand apart from it? 17:40 – How can we demonstrate historically and biblically that the apostles passed on their authority to bishops? 29:04 – Why did God create man alone when he knew he would create woman after? 40:53 – Why did God take out his anger on David and Bathsheba's first baby? 49:15 – Why does freemasonry have an appeal that Catholicism doesn't have, and why is Catholicism better?

Is authority a justly unfashionable quality that we should consign to the past? Or does it still have a place in political and business leadership, schools, medical settings and in the home? What is the difference between authority and power, how have historical shifts such as the advent of the internet affected public perceptions of authority, and how much should authority feature in the raising of children?In Radio 4's roundtable discussion programme about ideas past and present, Anne McElvoy and guests explore these questions and more.Justine Greening is a former Conservative Secretary of State for Education and Minister for Women and Equalities Martin Gurri is a former CIA analyst who writes about the relationship between politics and media who published a book called The Revolt of the Public and the Crisis of Authority in the New Millennium Sophie Scott-Brown is a philosopher and historian of anarchism Peter Hyman is a former headteacher and adviser to Tony Blair and Keir Starmer who writes a Substack, Changing the Story Tom Simpson is the Alfred Landecker Professor of Values and Public Policy at the Blavatnik School of Government, University of OxfordProducer: Eliane Glaser

When authority wobbles, everyone feels it.In this episode of Mark & Pete, we examine the troubling case of a teacher reported to have been under the influence of alcohol while teaching — slurred speech, disorder in the classroom, and a profession once synonymous with stability suddenly looking fragile.This is not a tabloid pile-on. It's a deeper conversation about professionalism, standards, burnout, and what happens when the adults in the room are no longer steady.Teaching in the UK has become increasingly pressured: behaviour challenges, retention crises, administrative overload, safeguarding responsibilities, and public scrutiny. When a teacher crosses the line into intoxication while on duty, it raises uncomfortable but necessary questions. Is this personal moral failure? A symptom of systemic strain? Or part of a wider cultural erosion of self-control and accountability?We discuss:Teacher conduct and the Teaching Regulation AgencyProfessional standards in UK schoolsBurnout and alcohol misuse trendsClassroom authority and behavioural collapseThe difference between compassion and lowered expectationsFrom a Christian perspective, we explore Ephesians 5:18 — “Do not be drunk with wine… but be filled with the Spirit.” Sobriety is not merely a private virtue; it is a public responsibility when others depend on your clarity.There is room for mercy. There must be support for those struggling. But standards matter. Authority matters. Children need grown-ups who are present, clear-minded, and trustworthy.Expect calm commentary, cultural analysis, original poetry from Mark, and a steady biblical reflection from Pete.Because someone is always learning from the example set at the front of the room.Faith. Culture. Calm commentary.#MarkAndPete #EducationCrisis #TeacherStandards #UKSchools #ProfessionalConduct #ChristianPerspective

Storytelling is more than entertainment — it's a moral act. In this episode of The Storyteller's Mission, Zena Dell Lowe explores the danger of stories replacing standards — and what that means for writers. When trust collapses and authority becomes unaccountable, storytellers are often asked to shape meaning and moral judgment. But assigning verdicts before exploring truth turns story into propaganda, even with the best intentions.Learn how to:Recognize the difference between moral clarity vs. moral coercionAvoid letting your story pre-judge or manipulate the audiencePreserve complexity, nuance, and consequences in fictionTrust your audience to wrestle with truth rather than forcing conclusionsWhether you write drama, historical fiction, or speculative worlds, this episode is a must-watch for writers committed to truthful, morally responsible storytelling.Watch this episode on YouTube Free Resources for Writers:Free Video Tutorial for ScreenwritingSign up for The Storyteller's Digest, my exclusive bi-monthly newsletter for writers and storytellers.

In our series on authority, today we look into how it is that you are able to operate in it just like Jesus. The overall idea is, having it does no good if we do not use it. You have met all the criteria to be able to step forth as Jesus did, and operate in your God given authority over sickness, demons and diseases. Lets talk about it. 

Jesus teaches on the power of faith in prayer and the need to forgive others to beforgiven.

If you want to understand the Jewish story, start with a color. This week we're rebroadcasting one of my favorite episodes from 2022 — an episode about a single color that somehow contains an entire Jewish narrative: tekhelet, that rare, stubborn, unforgettable blue. We're revisiting a conversation that feels more timely than ever. As antisemitism re-emerges in public life, people are reaching again for symbols — simple, visible markers that say: I'm here. I'm not hiding. I'm not alone. One of those symbols is the Blue Square Campaign — a small square of blue worn or posted as a public expression of solidarity. Key Takeaways Blue teaches that holiness belongs to everyone. Blue reminds us that identity is visible, resilient, and remembered. Blue proves that a people can lose its Temple and still keep its thread.

People get paid to be in Forbes. Credential stacking won't make you a leader. You can't demand authority in a room. Your authority has to be learned, perceived, felt.When you have real authority, sales become easier. Clients stop comparison shopping. They trust your recommendations without pushback. You're not constantly defending your value. People come to you pre-sold.But most of what we've been taught doesn't work. Posting everywhere dilutes your message. People-pleasing marketing means you stand for nothing. Promises that don't match delivery destroy trust.I'm breaking down five psychology-backed ways to build real authority: consistent insights that diagnose problems, unwavering perspective even when polarizing, boundaries that signal high status, integrity between promise and delivery, and borrowed authority while you build your own.Timestamps: 02:46 Why Authority Matters06:08 Better Clients and Boundaries10:16 Marketing and Pricing Leverage28:57 Five Psychology Principles29:51 Pattern Recognition31:26 Insight Over Information32:57 Diagnose Root Causes34:43 Simplify Expert Language37:57 Consistent Perspective41:10 Trends Versus Beliefs54:03 Borrowed Authority ProofTo join the Ambitious Network for free, click HERE.

In this teaching on Matthew 21, Jaclyn explains the meaning of “Hosanna” and what it reveals about the authority of Jesus Christ. Some trip over the authority of Jesus, and some are crushed. What changes when we surrender? Understanding “Hosanna” may change the way you see Jesus—and your response to His authority.Personal Challenges:Write the word Hosanna everywhere.Handwrite Isaiah 8:14–16 and ponder it while reading Matthew 21.For more Scripture:Read Matthew 21 and Mark 11 to see the rebellion, then read John 12 to see the submission.https://www.inseparableministries.org/ https://www.inseparableministries.org/event-calendar

Leila Rahimi and Marshall Harris were joined by Mike Florio WBBM political editor Geoff Buchholz to discuss the latest developments in the Bears' stadium saga.

Robin Zander hosted a Snafu webinar for the Sidebar community on non-sales selling—think self-promotion for career transitions, freelancers, entrepreneurs, and product people. The goal: learn to "sell yourself" without the ick factor.   Participants shared fears: follow-ups feel intimidating, sales feels slimy, and success seems like a numbers game. Robin reframed it: selling is really about enrollment—being a chief evangelist for your work, not begging for attention.   Drawing on stories from his childhood pumpkin patch, his time as a personal trainer (where desperation lost him clients), and opening Robin's Cafe in San Francisco (raising $40k, serving multiple stakeholders, training staff with Danny Meyer's principles), he showed the difference between selling from need vs. service. Long-term success comes from genuine connection, curiosity, optimism, and passion.   Attendees explored their "authentic attitude" and reflected on times self-promotion felt good versus slimy. Exercises included mapping all the people who benefit from your work—employees, customers, managers, mentees, community—and practicing generosity in selling (a "Miracle on 34th Street" mindset: help customers even if it means sending them elsewhere).   In Q&A, Robin tackled: Asking for promotions as modeling for others, especially women and minorities Persistence in follow-ups (yes, emailing Mark Benioff 53 times counts) Relationship-based enterprise selling Avoiding fear-based AI marketing by knowing who you serve and what problem you solve Recommended reading: Setting the Table (Danny Meyer), Unreasonable Hospitality (Will Guidara), The New Strategic Selling.   Robin also shared upcoming Snafu conference details (March 5, Oakland Museum of California) and reminded everyone: Snafu = situation normal; all fucked up. 00:00 Start 01:06 Audience Fears About Selling Robin Zander welcomes 93 participants to the webinar Notes the session is interactive with exercises planned Encourages participants to drop questions in chat or interrupt him Last 15–20 minutes reserved for questions Robin introduces himself briefly Focuses on storytelling as a tool for self-promotion Shares experience as a community builder Runs a conference called Responsive since 2016 (not Snafu) Tools, structures, and company cultures for resilient organizations Two-day event each September on the future of work Focus on building resilience in organizations Observations on rapid change Technology and work-life changes happening at a fast pace Questions about resilience in individuals Traits needed in careers, personal relationships, professional relationships Ability to stay resilient through change Robin frames his expertise Emphasizes his strength in asking questions and fostering honest conversations Labels himself a reluctant salesperson Not the world's leading expert on self-promotion or selling Key lessons from research and interviews Two buckets matter in business and life: Example: Sidebar community forming coalitions for learning and action Operational excellence: being competent and at least as good as others Promotion/enrollment/sales: standing up, saying what you want, building coalitions Started interviewing people about influence and persuasion Started a weekly newsletter called Snafu Written by hand, not AI Shares lessons from his life and others about self-promotion and resilience Focus on courage to take action: raising hand, offering something valuable Core characteristics of self-promotion and selling yourself Connecting with others: art of connection Courage to ask: inspired by Amanda Palmer's TED Talk and book The Art of Asking Opposes traditional "always be closing" sales mentality Advocates for simply asking for what you want Current work mostly involves storytelling for large companies Clients include Supersonic, Airbnb, Zappos, and others 12:25 Service as the Core Principle Robin introduces the concept of storytelling for self-promotion Stories used to: Get promotions Build coalitions Propel career or organizational growth Emphasizes turning personal, career, or company stories into "commercials" Focus of today's talk: self-promotion with impact Core principle: service Showing up from a place of helping others Through helping others, also helping oneself Distinguishes between sleazy salespeople and effective self-promoters Childhood anecdote: Robin's pumpkin patch Tended plants all summer, learned responsibility and care Harvested pumpkins and sold them using a small red tin box labeled "money" Ran "Robin's Pumpkin Patch" for five to seven years At age five, father had him plant pumpkin seeds Engaged neighborhood kids for fun, collaborative promotion Explained product (pumpkins) enthusiastically to potential buyers Used scarecrow costumes and creative gestures to attract attention Lessons learned from pumpkin patch: Authentic enthusiasm creates value Helping people do what they were already inclined to do Early experience of earning and serving simultaneously Self-promotion is most effective when it's service-driven, not manipulative Applying childhood lesson to career and business Asking for a raise Persuading companies to choose one service over another Promoting oneself or others (e.g., Evan, web developer) Key principle: approach self-promotion from delight and service, not need or fear Authentic enthusiasm as foundation for: Interactive exercise for participants Not influenced by sleep deprivation or stress Could be inspired by childhood or adult experiences Opposite of fear; personal and unique for each participant Question posed: what is your authentic attitude when self-promoting? Examples shared from participants: Curiosity Passion Inspiration Service to others Observation Possibility Insight Value Helping others Creativity Belief in serendipity Optimism Key takeaway from exercise and story Promoting from delight, enthusiasm, and service Promoting from need or fear Two versions of self-promotion: Effective self-promotion aligns with authenticity and enthusiasm, creating value for others while advancing oneself 18:36 Gym Job and Needy Selling Robin shares the next story and sets up the next exercise Gym culture is sales-heavy Initial motivation: love of fitness, desire to help people Quickly realizes environment incentivizes personal trainers to sell aggressively Timeframe: ~20 years later, at age 20, moved to San Francisco First post-college job: personal trainer in gyms Early experience at gyms Key lesson from early failure Selling from need feels gross Promoting oneself from fear or desperation leads to poor results Recognizes similarity to unwanted sales calls received personally First authentic success in self-promotion Worked at Petro and World's Gym in San Francisco, Pilates instructor Owner confronted Robin after two weeks: no clients, potential clients being lost to others Threatened termination by Friday if no clients acquired Robin froze under pressure, approached clients but with needy, desperate energy Outcome: fired by Friday, left gym Encounters man in pain on Valencia Street, offers help as personal trainer Approach comes from genuine care, desire to serve Leads to three-year working relationship, consistent sessions, good income Next client: world-famous photographer Michael Light at UCSF swimming pool Client comes from natural connection, not pushy salesmanship Dichotomy observed: Pushy, need-based self-promotion → freeze, poor results Service-oriented self-promotion → natural connections, sustained relationships Exercise for participants Prompt: identify two moments: One time self-promoting felt slimy → what were you doing? One time self-promoting felt good → what were you doing differently? Two-minute reflection / chat participation Participant reflections/examples Slimy examples: Interviewing for a job during layoffs, giving desperate energy Selling P&L at a hyperscaler Selling computers and printers in UK post-college Sales emails getting ghosted Feeling inauthentic or performative, taking advantage of someone Good examples: Offering services out of care and love rather than ROI Showing impact of work to junior child Knowing services add real value and solve a challenge Being clear on what the other person needs Key takeaway Self-promotion feels different depending on intent and knowledge Slimy → desperate, inauthentic, unclear value to recipient Authentic → service-driven, clear value, connection-focused Effective self-promotion combines knowing your value and serving others, not just pushing for personal gain 25:35 Miracle on 34th Street Lesson Feeling good in self-promotion comes from genuinely helping, solving problems, and sharing information Santa Claus hired at Macy's to hold kids and give candy canes, but real goal: persuade parents to buy from Macy's Santa instead sends parents to competitor to truly serve them Macy's manager initially furious Outcome: customers feel genuinely served, return praising Macy's, become loyal fans Robin references Miracle on 34th Street (original version) Key insight: providing real value, even if it benefits someone else, eventually returns value to you "Put enough bread across the water, eventually good things come back" Participant reflections Slimy: knowing audience expects judgment, catering to them for approval Good: giving the gift of knowledge, providing service freely Takeaway: authentic self-promotion is rooted in service, generosity, and sharing expertise, not manipulating for immediate gain 27:45 Starting Robin's Cafe Through Service Robin shares a major professional turning point: opening Robin's Cafe in 2016 No restaurant experience beyond college busing tables Opened in three weeks, eventually grew to 15 employees by 2018 Worked in multiple industries: Pumpkin patch, personal trainer, circus performer Opened a café/restaurant in Mission District, San Francisco Courage and conviction came from clear focus on service to others Employees: create a great workplace, go-giver culture Investors: $40k raised from friends/family, provided value and potential return Landlords (ODC, nonprofit dance center): wanted success of business to support community Customers: diverse—tech workers, kids in dance classes, local community Robin himself: financial sustainability, learning, personal growth Key audiences served by Robin's Cafe Approach to challenges Used Danny Meyer's Setting the Table as a service-focused framework for employees Philosophy: "giving in order to get paid" Examples: spouse, kids, dog, manager, peers, mentees, clients, community, customers, extended family, mentors Served multiple stakeholders during crises: break-ins, flooding, city permitting, neighborhood issues Exercise: identify all the people who benefit from your work or success Key idea: the more stakeholders served, the easier self-promotion becomes, because it comes from service, not need or pressure Show up thinking: does this serve the person I'm talking to? Principle: selling yourself from a place of service Consider multiple stakeholders simultaneously Audience question: elaborate on applying this service mindset specifically to asking for a promotion Tying service to self-promotion in career advancement Result: asking for a raise, applying for jobs, pitching clients—all easier and more authentic 38:11 Promotion As Service Asking for a promotion from a place of service Example: doing the role already, deserving recognition, asking for what you believe you've earned. Personal perspective: advocating for yourself is a form of service to yourself Recognize other stakeholders in the process: Modeling courage and advocacy for the next generation Authority enables ideas to be taken more seriously Stories gained from new responsibilities enhance value to clients or teams People you mentor, especially women or underrepresented groups The organization: your promotion can make it stronger Your family or children: showing them what it looks like to advocate Concrete examples Outcome: trajectory of career positively influenced, demonstrated courage, modeled behavior Asking first time for a manager role Later asking for VP title as a director Courage and small steps Courage = acting despite fear, not absence of fear Practice by taking incremental steps toward what scares you Avoid masking or hesitation; direct action builds confidence and results Persistence and follow-up Busy people require patience and multiple nudges Example: Mark Stubbings emailing Mark Benioff 53 times before a yes Persistence = respectful, consistent follow-ups Role modeling for women and minorities Demonstrates that asking is a normal, expected, and service-oriented act Many don't ask for promotions or raises due to upbringing or cultural norms Modeling advocacy teaches the next generation, including children, to speak up Service mindset in practice Approach self-promotion by asking: is this good for the other person? Keep intention aligned with service, not desperation Books for guidance: Setting the Table – Danny Meyer: service-driven sales and employee culture Unreasonable Hospitality – Will Guidara: lessons from the restaurant world on giving value and delight Key takeaways for promotion and asking Serve yourself, your mentees, your organization, and your broader audience Take small, courageous steps to ask for what you deserve Follow up respectfully and consistently; don't assume silence = no Self-promotion becomes easier and authentic when rooted in service, not fear or need Snafu Newsletter Weekly newsletter written by Robin Covers influence, persuasion, and modern workplace dynamics A resource for ongoing learning and practical insights 56:55 Where to Find Robin Robin's newsletter covers influence, persuasion, and modern work.

Not everyone in the Temple was there for the wrong reasons! The merchants and moneylenders had come to church to line their own pockets. Paul would later write about those who confuse godliness with gain, religion with riches. The Jewish leaders had come to strut their superiority, it seems, and to police everyone else's religion. But at least one woman had come to the place of worship to worship - with her offering. And of course, Jesus noticed. Here's Jim, reading from Mark 12:43.

John Collins and John McKinnon examine how religious authority can quietly shift from Christ and Scripture to a living leader, creating patterns of dependency that repeat across charismatic and restorationist movements. Using historical examples, they explore how leaders construct public personas, cultivate spiritual indispensability, and position themselves as the necessary interpreter of truth, safety, and God's will. The discussion traces how these structures form, why they persist even after leaders die, and how they reshape identity, belief, and community life. By focusing on repeatable frameworks rather than personalities, the conversation highlights how control, pride, and misplaced authority distort faith and leave lasting psychological and spiritual damage, while pointing toward healthier models rooted in Scripture rather than personalities. ______________________ Weaponized Religion: From Christian Identity to the NAR: Paperback: https://www.amazon.com/dp/1735160962  Kindle: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DCGGZX3K  ______________________ - Support the channel: https://www.patreon.com/branham  - Visit the website: https://william-branham.org

S6:E19 Having authority does not mean you have followers. Queue Up Episode This week on Small Business Stories, Dr. LL sits down with executive coach and M&A advisor Joseph Incrocci to explore how leadership expectations have shifted in founder-led and middle-market businesses.

Joe brings decades of experience scaling companies, selling businesses, and coaching CEOs through ego resistance, succession challenges, and growth strategy.

You can be the smartest person in the room and still lose it entirely because of the way you speak. After years on Wall Street and building businesses, I learned the hard way that intelligence without delivery is invisible. Authority isn't about being right — it's about being heard. In this episode, I break down the seven communication traps that quietly sabotage high performers, founders, and anyone tired of being overlooked. These aren't anecdotal — they're rooted in neuroscience, persuasion research, and real-world performance psychology… and once you see them, you'll spot them everywhere. You'll learn:• Why excessive hedging kills your competency score — and how confidence beats correctness in credibility• How over-explaining signals insecurity and reduces processing fluency• Why talking too fast during key moments makes people distrust you — even when you're right• The three S's of landing your point: shorter, slower, stronger• Why Steve Jobs rehearsed keynotes for hours to look effortless• How self-deprecation tanks your perceived ability in hiring and promotion decisions• The shocking study showing modest candidates get liked more but hired less• Why showmanship isn't arrogance — it's survival in a world that rewards clarity• How processing fluency makes simple ideas feel smarter and more truthful• The one-sentence framework Jobs used to control entire product launches This isn't about faking confidence or pretending to be someone you're not. It's about aligning how you deliver with the outcomes you want. Smart people see complexity. Winners communicate it clearly. If you've ever felt overlooked, interrupted, or dismissed despite knowing your stuff — this episode will permanently change how you show up. ___________ 00:00:00 Introduction 00:00:32 Trap 1 00:04:19 Trap 2 00:07:26 Trap 3 00:09:55 Trap 4 00:11:40 Trap 5 00:13:22 Trap 6 00:15:26 Trap 7 00:17:45 The Pattern Behind All Traps 00:18:31 Your Speaking Reset Framework ___________ MORE FROM BIGDEAL

“Why Aren't You Catholic?” addresses the question of infallible authority in the Church, particularly in light of claims from some Christians. The discussion also touches on whether confession is necessary if baptism forgives sins, the marital status of Peter, and the implications of Mary’s immaculate conception. Join the Catholic Answers Live Club Newsletter Invite our apologists to speak at your parish! Visit Catholicanswersspeakers.com Questions Covered: 03:48 – “Some Christians say they're not Catholic because they don't see any evidence for any sort of infallible authority continuing after the apostles.” 13:10 – In the Nicene Creed when we pray “One Baptism for the forgiveness of sins…” does this mean we do not need confession? 23:34 – Was Peter married? 32:48 – If Mary was immaculately conceived, why did she have to die? 41:32 – The Church does not seem divinely inspired, so how can it claim to teach infallibility? 48:09 – Will sins confessed an absolved by a priest be read in our final judgement?

In this episode, Dennis talks with Derek Gaunt, former commander and elite hostage negotiator, about the hidden mistakes leaders make when they rely on authority and pressure. Derek shares lessons from nearly three decades in law enforcement and how those same principles now help executives, entrepreneurs, and investors make better decisions. If you want to influence people without escalating conflict — and lead without letting ego sabotage outcomes — this conversation is packed with insight.

In this episode, Mike and Tim ask a provocative question: Is "Christ is King" becoming blasphemy? They begin by analyzing recent political rhetoric, specifically a speech by Pete Hegseth, to discuss how biblical language can be hijacked for coercive power rather than reflecting the character of Jesus. The hosts argue that proclaiming theological truths while living in opposition to the way of Jesus is a distortion of "faith and politics." The conversation then shifts to a deep exploration of the Lord's Prayer and the petition, "Your Kingdom come." Mike and Tim unpack the concept of the "anti-kingdom," explaining that Jesus preached the Kingdom of God in enemy-occupied territory. They explore "theology" regarding the "powers and principalities," looking at the Divine Council in the Psalms, the "heavenly host" in Genesis, and how the biblical authors understood the spiritual forces behind structural evil and injustice. This isn't just about ancient myths; it is about understanding "the role of the church in society" when facing systemic corruption. By contrasting the "cruciformity" of the Gospel with the power dynamics of empire, the guys offer a framework for "navigating cultural challenges" with wisdom. They highlight that true "Christianity" recognizes the spiritual battle at play—not just in individuals, but in cultural patterns and ideologies. As the hosts discuss the "seen and unseen" realms, they emphasize the importance of prayer and "justice" in a world that is both beautiful and broken. We encourage and would love discussion as we pursue these complex topics, so please engage the conversation on Facebook and Instagram.

They look so beautifully abandoned, even in use. You say they look like arks after the sea's dried up, I say they look like pirate ships, and I think of that walk in the valley where J said, You don't believe in God? And I said, No. I believe in this connection we all have to nature, to each other, to the universe. And she said, Yeah, God. And how we stood there, low beasts among the white oaks, Spanish moss, and spider webs, obsidian shards stuck in our pockets, woodpecker flurry, and I refused to call it so. So instead, we looked up at the unruly sky, its clouds in simple animal shapes we could name though we knew they were really just clouds— disorderly, and marvelous, and ours.   Copyright Credit: Poem copyright ©2012 by Ada Limón, whose most recent book of poems is Sharks in the Rivers, Milkweed Editions, 2010.

Following Friday's Supreme Court decision striking down a number of President Trump's tariffs, the administration is moving to impose a global 15% tariff, with some exceptions for countries like Canada and Mexico. The tariffs, which are being levied temporarily under a statutory authority known as Section 122, will bring the average effective tariff rate to 13.7%, according to the Yale Budget Lab. Also on the program: Spain's new plan to bolster its workforce by granting legal status to migrants living in the country illegally.
