Stefan Büsser ist zu Gast im Podcast. Gemeinsam mit Phil und Robin erzählt er, wie die Prank-Woche aus der Perspektive des Teams gelaufen ist. Und auch Ramin lässt die Gelegenheit nicht aus, uns einen tieferen Einblick in seine Gedanken der vergangenen Tage rund um den den Mega-Prank zu geben. Die YouTube-Hosts Ramin Yousofzai und Robin Pickis verraten, was sie fernab von Scheinwerferlicht und Kameras im Leben so treiben. Als intellektueller Gegenpol mit am Tisch sitzen sowohl die Sendungsmachenden von «SRF Zwei am Morge» als auch genauso prominente Überraschungsgäste – und natürlich erinnern sie sich gemeinsam an die besten Momente aus dem Produktionsalltag ihrer Show und plaudern dabei auch gerne mal brisante Details aus, die nicht unbedingt für die Öffentlichkeit bestimmt sind. Neue Folgen jeden Mittwoch ab Mitternacht.

A trove of 11.9 million documents containing financial information on some of the world's richest and most powerful people has been released by the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists. The documents have already created embarrassing situations for powerful politicians in Ukraine and England.Dr. Yolandra Hancock, board-certified pediatrician and obesity medicine specialist, joins us to discuss covid.

The major cases on the SCOTUS docket will address gun control, abortion, religious liberty, national security, and capital punishment, among other issues.George Koo, journalist, social activist, international business consultant, and chemical engineer, joins us to discuss China.

Leo Flores, Latin America coordinator for Code Pink, joins us to discuss the Global South. An interesting war of words is taking place between Venezuelan President Nicholas Maduro and the former prime minister of Spain, José María Aznar. Maduro has recently argued that Spain should apologize for its colonial rampage of genocide and slavery in Latin America and the Caribbean, while Aznar simply laughs off the demands for acknowledgment of the evil deeds.Scott Ritter, former UN weapon inspector in Iraq, joins us to discuss Centcom. In his latest Responsible Statecraft article, Andrew Bacevich argues that the very existence of the Central Command and its 10 sister command centers is a horrible mistake for the US empire and the world.

Join us this week as we dive into Noah's backstory and what led him to Wayfarers.

Jordan and Brooke dig into the greatest romantic comedy of our time, a story of worlds colliding, of enemies to lovers...they're talking, of course, about 2018's "Venom!" They discuss the wild fandom that's sprung up around this movie, Tom Hardy's total commitment, Venom's history on-screen (certified queer icon?), and some "Best Kiss" selects from the MTV Movie Awards.Follow us on Twitter! https://twitter.com/QueerQuadrant 

In today's Books with Hooks segment, Carly and CeCe discuss digging into trauma to reveal the root emotion; how even literary fiction needs a hook; readability and writing in italics in certain fonts; needing to connect with character; how a query letter must include details of a specific climax; always keeping the reader wondering about what's going to happen next; and tackling certain themes responsibly. Carly also sings a time stamp jingle!After which, Bianca chats with Christina Clancy, author of Shoulder Season, about the research that goes into writing a novel; thinking about your book even when you're not able to write; knowing when to stop researching and start writing; how close you need to stick to historical fact and how much can be invention; starting a whisper campaign; finding ancillary resources; when a story needs a prologue; being willing to cut things even during a third draft; figuring out where the beating heart of your story is; and why every writer has to despair at some point of the process.

Intro Ask for reviews Background (1:52) Starfire (Princess Koriand'r) created by Marv Wolfman and George Perez in DC Comics Presents #26 (Oct 1980) Second in succession to the throne of Tamaran, she and her sister were kidnapped, and her father sold her off to ensure peace After enduring several years of slavery and sexual torture, she was experimented on by being subjected to ever-increasing energy levels, which gave her the ability to release energy blasts from her hands, as well as fly - her sister (who had also undergone the experimentation, and was more powerful) attacked her, however, and had her sentenced to execution She escaped and made her way to Earth, where she took the name Starfire (the Earth translation of Koriand'r) and joined the Teen Titans Twice married to Tamaranian men, once for politics and once for love - both died Almost married Dick, until a possessed Raven interrupted the ceremony #BecauseComics Went missing after Infinite Crisis, although she was one of the heroes who helped defeat Alexander Luthor Alongside Adam Strange & Animal Man, gets stranded on an unknown planet - the three of them fight alongside each other several times During Blackest Night, a psychic attack reveals her greatest desire is to marry Dick Grayson New 52 - Backstory is essentially the same, but now she's one of the Outlaws alongside Jason Todd & Roy Harper - close friends with Dick Grayson, who avoids romantic feelings for her Rebirth - Rejoins the Titans, and becomes leader after Damian Wayne is removed from the role Killed by her sister Komand'r (Blackfire), who believes she will eventually come back to life Issues (4:41) Tortured and enslaved in her childhood Horrible relationship with her sister (13:09) On/off relationship with Dick (21:40) Break (27:48) Plugs for BetterHelp, Talk Me Into, and Jeremy Whitley Treatment (29:32) In-universe - Use her energy projection powers to help show her emotional state at any given time Out of universe - (32:33) Skit  Hello Starfire, I'm Dr. Issues. -Greetings, doctor. Just to be clear, “Starfire” is a media creation. Please, call me Koriand'r. My apologies, Koriand'r. So, what can I do for you? -Others have told me that I am a bit of an...energetic spirit. I get too rough. I would disagree, but it has been said so many times that I wonder if there is some truth to it. In what context? -All of them. *sigh* Um, can you give an example? -Suppose there is a powerful enemy at your door right now, and I am with a team. At least one of them stands slack-jawed, another one tries to start a conversation or say something to defuse the situation. By the time they realized what has happened, I have already thrown the first punch. It is a bit of a blur after that, and we have won, but at least one other person is yelling at me for being too hasty. I've heard that so many times. “Ready, Fire, Aim.” -More like “Aim and Fire before they are ready.” I am not careless, just efficient. And you want the others to match your efficiency? -I know they cannot. I do not want them to resent me for doing what works. This may sound perverse, but it is actually fun to fight and win! I do my homework, Koriand'r. I don't think it's your fighting that really upsets anyone, at least not as much as you think. -Then what is it?  I'm not certain, but maybe your...uh...style? -*sound effect, charging up?* I LOVE MY STYLE! *clearly shaken* And you SHOULD! I'm not criticizing it! I'm saying...on a scale of 1 to 10, 10 being the most flamboyant, you're an 11. -Thank you so much! It is a compliment to be seen as a bright shining beacon on Tamaran. *ahem* You're...welcome? Hoo boy...look, you do you, alright? I'm trying to tow the line between discretion and blatancy. -I am not some… what is the word, a head of air! Just because I only know what one of those words meant does not mean you can try and make me feel stupid. *deep breath* Let's try again. I want to be kind, but I also want to be honest. I'm thankful that you are proud of who you are. Nobody can take that from you. But understand that being so intense in every sphere of your life is going to burn others out if you're not careful once in a while. However, I may be wrong if you've cultivated the best circle of friends and family already. That would make my point moot. -*pause, less intense than before* It is partly correct. Which part? -Definitely family. My sister. I love her. That's a good thing. -No...I should not. Not after what she did to me. Several times. But I have forgiven her. Too many people have told me that was a dumb thing to do...that she will betray me again.  There's no point in regaining pain. There are enough burdens in our lives that we shouldn't add extra. Love is an amazing thing. -But at what cost? I have traded many different types of love...some not truly of my choice. Raven says I should be bitter after what I have endured...but I am not. Sometimes I do not understand why I feel this way, but, what it is it is. I think that is the Earthen expression. You are clear with that. Your smile literally lights up a room! I'm glad that you have someone like that to confide in -She was one of the “traded loves” I talked about. At first I would consider her an enemy. But I do not have the type of bond that I truly long for. That would be… - *awestruck* Dick. *flustered* erm...I'm not that kind of therap - *oblivious, still awestruck* Grayson. OH THANK GOD. I mean, thank goodness we can talk about someone so important to you. -He is better than before, you know. He has said some things about you. That is why I came here. Can you find a way for us to be together? It is so very complicated! Some of the times, I wish to have better understanding of Earthen relationships. Other times, I feel it is better to be in the darkness. Sorry, my role is not to be a matchmaker, or directly “fix” relationships. Only you two can do that. What I CAN do, is work with you to process your emotions and behaviors so that whatever happens, your experiences get better over time. -Wonderful! This calls for a Tamaranian hug! *panic* NO! *calms down* No, I'm not a hugger as a professional. -But that is the best way to share joy with everyone! See, that's what I'm talking about. It's best for YOU...not everyone. Sure, there are plenty of people who agree with you, but I'll admit, I'm a bit weird. Respecting my wishes would bring me joy. Save that joy for Raven...or Dick...or whomever is used to it. -Raven has said the same thing. But in the end, hugs will win the day! Come on, Doctor of the Issues, you will see for yourself. *sound of bones crunching* Ugh…*whispering agony* my spine…I see what you mean by “too rough” -Oops. Your training seems to be weak. I will be more careful next time. Oof...next time?

Watch the live stream: Watch on YouTube About the show Sponsored by us: Check out the courses over at Talk Python And Brian's book too! Special guest: Ethan Swan Michael #0: Changing themes to DIY Brian #1: SQLFluff Suggested by Dave Kotchessa. A SQL Linter, written in Python, tested with pytest Configurable, and configuration can live in many places including tox.ini and pyproject.toml. Great docs Rule reference with anti-pattern/best practice format Includes dialects for ANSI, PostgreSQL, MySQL, Teradata, BigQuery, Snoflake Note in docs: “SQLFluff is still in an open alpha phase - expect the tool to change significantly over the coming months, and expect potentially non-backward compatible api changes to happen at any point.” Michael #2: JupyterLab Desktop JupyterLab App is the cross-platform standalone application distribution of JupyterLab. Bundles a Python environment with several popular Python libraries ready to use in scientific computing and data science workflows. JupyterLab App works on Debian and Fedora based Linux, macOS and Windows operating systems. Ethan #3: Requests Cache Create a requests_cache session and call HTTP methods from there You can also do it without a session but that's a bit weird, looks like it's monkey patching requests or something… Results are cached Very handy for repeatedly calling endpoints especially if the returned data is large, or the server has to do some compute Reminds me of @functools.lru_cache Can set things like how long the cache should last (when to invalidate) Funny easter egg in example: “# Cache 400 responses as a solemn reminder of your failures” Brian #4: pypi-rename This is a cookiecutter template from Simon Willison Backstory: To refresh my memory on how to publish a new package with flit I created a new pytest plugin. Brian Skinn noticed it somehow, and suggested a better name. Thanks Brian. So, how to nicely rename. I searched and found Simon's template, which is… A cookiecutter template. So you can use cookiecutter to do some of this work for you. But it's based on setuptools, and I kinda like flit lately, so I just used the instructions. The README.md includes instructions for the steps needed: Create renamed version Publish under new name Change old one to depend on new one, but be mostly empty Modify readme to tell people what's going on Publish old name as a notice Now people looking for old one will find new one. People just installing old one will end up with new one also since it's a dependency. Michael #5: Django 4 coming with Redis Adapter #33012 closed New feature (fixed) → Add a Redis cache backend. Adds support for Redis to be used as a caching backend with Django. Redis is the most popular caching backend, adding it to django.core.cache module would be a great addition for developers who previously had to rely on the use of third party packages. It will be simpler than that provided by django-redis, for instance customising the serialiser is out-of-scope for the initial pass. Ethan #6: PEP 612 It wasn't possible to type a function that took in a function and returned a function with the same signature (which is what many decorators do) This creates a ParamSpec – which is much like a TypeVar, for anyone who has used them to type generic functions/classes It's a reminder that typing is still missing features and evolving, and it's good to accept the edge cases for now – “gradual typing” Reading Fluent Python by Ramalho has influenced my view on this – don't lose your mind trying to type crazy stuff, just accept that it's “gradual” Mention how typing is still evolving in Python and it's good to keep an eye out for new features that help you (see also PEP 645 – using int? for Optional[int]; and PEP 655 – annotating some TypedDict keys as required and others not required) Extras Michael Earsketch Django Critical CVE: CVE-2021-35042 Vulnerable versions: >= 3.0.0, < 3.1.13 Patched version: 3.1.13 Django 3.1.x before 3.1.13 and 3.2.x before 3.2.5 allows QuerySet.order_by SQL injection if order_by is untrusted input from a client of a web application. Ethan Pedalboard I happened upon this project recently and checked back, only to see that Brett Cannon was the last committer! A doc fix, like he suggested last episode Brian Zero Cost Exceptions in Python 3.11 Suggested by John Hagen Guido, Mark Shannon, and others at Microsoft are working on speeding up Python faster-cpython/ideas repo includes a slide deck from Guido which includes “Zero overhead” exception handling. Python 3.11 “What's New” page, Optimizations section includes: “Zero-cost” exceptions are implemented. The cost of try statements is almost eliminated when no exception is raised.

You don't get to be a victim. Nobody who's successful in life plays the victim card, right? We get to be the victor." - Joe Evangelisti "I got into the third house before the market really started to collapse. I had to start to do what we call course correcting, I had to pivot. We could fail, but got to do something different." - Joe Evangelisti "So many CEOs are constantly searching for the right people, but they're afraid to look in the mirror and fix themselves. People want to be led by a great visionary and a great leader." - Joe Evangelisti "As business owners, we have a limited belief mindset. We put ourselves into a spectrum where we don't believe that we can find the right people. So we don't believe that there are people out there that are worth investing in." - Joe Evangelisti "In any business, the first thing you have to do is to take action. Taking action in the right direction leads to income." - Joe Evangelisti Engage with Joe EvangelistiFacebookInstagramYouTubeLinkedInWebsite Knucklehead Podcast is brought to you byManscaped- Use the Promo Code: KNUCKLEHEAD  for 20% Off Grab your COVID 19 survivor T-shirt HERE Reach out to Justin Szerletich to get in touch with Knucklehead Media GroupLinkedInTwitter  Connect with Knucklehead Media GroupWebsiteFacebookTwitter • Knucklehead Media Group is your “push button” for podcasts.

John Kiriakou, journalist, author and host of The Back Story, joins us to discuss Julian Assange. Numerous reports are surfacing about Mike Pompeo's fury towards Julian Assange and his apparent disregard for the law. According to CIA sources, the Mike Pompeo-led CIA considered kidnapping and murdering Julian Assange, and seemed unconcerned about overt violations of law.Michelle Witte, co-host of Political Misfits, joins us to discuss German election results. German Chancellor Angela Merkel's party lost to the Social Democrats in a German electoral close call. The leader of the Social Democrats has stated that a strong EU is his main priority. David Schultz, author and professor of political science and law at Hamline University, joins us to discuss US legal issues. Former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin has filed an appeal arguing that his conviction was invalid due to many issues. Also, the conservative US Supreme Court is facing great scrutiny as divisive issues, such as gun rights and abortion, hit the docket for 2022.K. J. Noh, peace activist, writer, and teacher, joins us to discuss China. Huawei executive Weng Manzhou has been released from Canada and received a hero's welcome in Beijing upon her arrival. China is spinning this as a victory, and the US seems to be on radio silence about the issue. China also released a pair of Canadian businessmen, apparently as part of the agreement for dropping the charges against her.Robert Fantina, journalist and Palestine activist, joins us to discuss Israel. Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas has said that he intends to take Israel to the International Criminal Court for illegal settlements. His move is a result of the one-year deadline that he presented in 2020 for Israel to abandon Jerusalem settlements and retreat to the 1967 borders.Obi Egbuna, activist, and US Rep for The Zimbabwean Newspapers, joins us to discuss Africa. The US empire has a long-running sanctions program in Africa including more countries than any other continent. International observers are calling for the empire to remove its African sanctions, beginning with Zimbabwe. The Zimbabwe sanctions have been ongoing for 20 years.Laith Marouf, broadcaster and journalist based in Beirut, joins us to discuss Syria. A recent count of casualties in Syria shows that a minimum of 350,000 persons have been killed since the US Empire and its allies attacked the country. Also, Russian airstrikes hit a rebel base near Afrin as Russian and Turkish leaders prepare to meet.Dan Kovalik, writer, author, and lawyer, joins us to discuss Nicaragua. Warhawks and imperialists in Congress are preparing another round of economic attacks on Nicaragua as the small Latin nation prepares for its elections. The US hawks refuse to allow political independence in the Global South, and this move comes as the leaders of these nations work to start a new group and overcome the constant attacks by the OAS and other US tools of regime change.

Click here to subscribe to Nicole's mailing list and receive bonus resources on Romans Click here to join the conversation in Nicole's Romans Facebook group Today is a special day! Today I am joined by my friend Rayshawn Graves as we dig into Romans 4. Rayshawn is a pastor here with me in Richmond, Virginia, and hosts the podcast Ask A Pastor. Questions We Ask Every Time We Read the Bible: 1. What do the verses say? 2. What's the backstory? What's the context? 3. What does it mean? What are the principles of this passage? Romans Week Four: Romans 4 1. What Does it Say? We learn what it looks like to believe in Jesus – it doesn't work to depend on works. You could stack your works against the works of the holiest person that you can think of, and the scales do not balance. 2. What Is the Backstory? Sometimes we may think that the God of the Old Testament is a God of wrath, but Paul takes us back to the Old Testament through Abraham reminding us that God has always had a plan. Abraham trusted and believed in God when he had nothing else. 3. What Does It Mean? We must believe in Him who raised Jesus, our Lord, from the dead. And believe that Jesus was delivered over to death for our sins and was raised to life for our justification. Knowing, embracing, and leaning into this truth is the basis of our faith (v. 23-24). 4. What Does It Mean for Me? We see God's goodness and proactiveness in our lives – he does for us what we couldn't do. Resources: Help!

Well it turns out that somehow the parents of Tai Lung - who left their snow leopard cub at the doorsteps of the Jade Palace - must have had more children during their lives because in the series Legends of Awesomeness, we were introduced to a young snow leopard by the name of Peng who was revealed to be searching for the infamous lost member of their family. Through Peng's journey he befriended Po, the Dragon Warrior, garnered the respect of Master Shifu, confronted the truth about his family and faced his darkest impulses, but he still found hope and now will spend his days trying to use his power, knowledge, and wisdom to make a difference across the world.

Tune in this week to listen to Dr. Greg Waddell as he chronicles his own story from a young druggie to a missionary in Uruguay and Argentina. He explains many of the moments that occurred after his conversion, specifically focusing in on the church that mentored him just after he came to Christianity.

In Episode 16, I speak with 2020 Olympian and 2019 NCAA Champion, Dylan Woodhead. We talk about his Olympic experience (1:26-10:05), how mental skills and goals have helped him through his career (10:06-16:38), the jump from High School to the Men's Senior National Team (16:39-19:00), how he got to where he is today (19:01-23:51), the 2019 National Championship and his time at Stanford (23:52-27:22), his time playing abroad (27:23-31:00) and some rapid fire to close us out (31:01-38:15)

On this BACK STORY host Dana Lewis talks to Rose Gottemoeller, who as a former Deputy Head of NATO and former Chief negotiator  of the New START  nuclear arms Treaty with Russia, says American President Joe Biden must rethink a deal which cuts out France and gives highly enriched uranium in nuclear powered submarines to Australia. And in part two, we speak to Paul Niland of Lifeline Ukraine, about new and damning reports on Russia's involvement in the war in Ukraine, and calls for Russia to be removed from a cease fire monitoring mission there.

Dr. Christopher Beevers talks about digital intervention as a treatment option for people who experience depression and other mental challenges. He shares about deprexis®, a digital depression therapy program, and how this web-based software for depression uses techniques similar to what you'd experience with a healthcare provider. Dr. Beevers views most digital interventions as candidates for first-line treatment. They will not replace medication or traditional therapy. But it's just another kind of treatment option that is more accessible to people. He believes a platform like deprexis® is less threatening because people don't have to open up to another human being and worry about being judged. Dr. Christopher Beevers is a Professor (Department of Psychology, the University of Texas at Austin) and Professor and Director of the Institute for Mental Health Research. Dr. Beevers enjoys playing tennis, bike riding, and hiking but not at the same time.

What do the verses say? 2. What's the backstory? What's the context? 3. What does it mean? What are the principles of this passage? Romans Week Three: Romans 3:20-26 1. What Does it Say? Notice the “therefore” in verse 20. Everything we learned about in chapters 1 & 2, we're about to get the closing argument for here. None of us can be who we think that we can be – none of us is righteous. 2. What Is the Backstory? All of Romans up to this point is addressing the problem of human logic. God cannot be understood fully in our human intelligence. We see the limits of human logic and reason throughout the Bible, even recorded in the earliest written book – Job (See Job 38:1-4). 3. What Does It Mean? Sin is the great equalizer of men; mercy is the great deliverance for those who believe. Unless we recognize how deeply we cannot make this happen without God we will continue to try to justify ourselves through our own false self-righteousness. 4. What does it mean for me? 1. Reckon with our pride 2. Repent of our self-righteousness 3. Rejoice in his mercy. Resources: Help! My Bible Is Alive Follow Nicole: Her Site | Facebook | Instagram Episode Image Credit: Getty

What do the verses say? 2. What's the backstory? What's the context? 3. What does it mean? What are the principles of this passage? Romans Week Two: Romans 2: 3-4, 29 1. What Does This Passage Say? Last week on the podcast we left off knowing that 1) Romans is going to give us a vision for our life and 2) that we are set up with a problem of sin and need a savior. This is the chapter of conviction. Paul is preaching that the church has a problem. Some people are worshipping created things, some who call themselves good are passing judgment and condemnation, and all have a sin problem. “So when you, a mere human being, pass judgment on them and yet do the same things, do you think you will escape God's judgment? 4 Or do you show contempt for the riches of his kindness, forbearance, and patience, not realizing that God's kindness is intended to lead you to repentance?” (v. 3-4). “No, a person is a Jew who is one inwardly; and circumcision is circumcision of the heart, by the Spirit, not by the written code. Such a person's praise is not from other people, but from God.” (v. 29) 2. What's the Backstory? Paul sets up this life-giving letter to say that human beings cannot be good on their own. There is no holiness that you can pursue that will make you holy enough for God. We need to ask the question, what am I relying on to make me feel good? What am I relying on to say that I am okay? Whether your sin is on the outside or inside, we all have the same need for God's kindness – and that becomes the starting point for the good news. 3. What Does It Mean? Genuine faith does not come from outward acts, but an inward reality. Heart change is proven over time. 4. What Does It Mean for Me? I have a problem just as much as anyone – and that problem is my sin. Questions to ask yourself: Do I believe that I need a savior? Do I experience in my own self-awareness that I fall short every day? Resources: Help! My Bible Is Alive Follow Nicole: Her Site | Facebook | Instagram Episode Image Credit: Getty

Every time I talk to a veteran, they, number one, haven't even applied for disability. Number two, don't even know what their VA loan is or let alone want to use it because they're too scared. And it's just a huge tool to help yourself out for future building. Because right now, you almost have to start investing in order to retire early or retire at all at this point." - Ken Nash   "It's so nice to get to a point where your business is funding more investments for you and your money works for you." - Ken Nash   "I think property management isn't super hard to do yourself especially if you have just one or two properties. Get the hang of it. I'd rather know the process of being a property management person before I go and get a property management company." - Ken Nash   "Those benefits (VA loan) are given to you for a reason. If you don't use them, then you're going to be wasting out on so much time where you could have been accruing that money on appreciation value." - Ken Nash   Connect with Expert(ish) Podcast Host JAY JOHNSON Call (858) 925- 4536 Website LinkedIn Facebook Instagram   Listen to more episodes of the Expert(ish) Podcast iTunes Spotify

Julie Varughese, solidarity network coordinator for Black Alliance for Peace, joins us to discuss Afghanistan. International security analysts are concerned that the Taliban seems to be recycling government officials from the organization's former theocratic hard-line base of power. Also, the war-torn country is facing a humanitarian crisis that is being exacerbated by punitive economic moves by the US empire.Laith Marouf, broadcaster and journalist based in Beirut, Lebanon, joins us to discuss Israel. Prime Minister Naftali Bennett seems to have a policy of no war, but continuous bombing and no peace with the Palestinians. Also, Israel is arresting and harassing the families of several prisoners who recently escaped from an Israeli prison. Randi Nord, writer and activist, joins us to discuss Yemen. Yemen has launched several successful drone and missile strikes deep into the homeland of Saudi Arabia.

What do the verses say? 2. What's the backstory? What's the context? 3. What does it mean? What are the principles of this passage? Romans Week One: Romans 1:16-17; 25 1. What Does This Passage Say? In the opening of this great letter of the Apostle Paul, we get a vision for what the gospel really means. This gospel is righteousness, by faith, and is the power of God for life. But, what is the problem in the world? “They exchanged the truth about God for a lie and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator.” (v. 25) 2. What's the Backstory? Paul is doing ordinary pastoral problems and challenges. In the midst of that, he gives us a detailed and thoughtful doctrinal statement on what really matters. We often separate the doctrine & belief from the everyday reality. But what if we chose to see this great gift of salvation as 100% relevant to our everyday life? 3. What Does It Mean? The gospel is the power of God, and it is for the Jews and Gentiles – it is not for just one people group. It is about and for the world. 4. What Does It Mean for Me? If someone turned to you and asked you: “Why do you follow Jesus?” “How are you different than me?” “What is grace really?” What would you say? That is what is ahead! Resources: Help!

How one Republican senator made sure the ACA required non-profit hospitals to act more like charities—and less like loan sharks—before voting against the whole thing. The national requirement to offer charity care emerged from the Obama White House's failed courtship of GOP Senator Chuck Grassley. We hear how that failed courtship almost tanked the ACA— and how the battle over the ACA “broke America”—from former Obama adviser David Axelrod, longtime reporter Julie Rovner and a top Grassley aide. This is the second in a four-part series—but you can totally start right here!The series looks at the (slow, uneven) development of legal protections for consumers (a.k.a. patients, a.k.a. people who just don't want to die and aren't Bill Gates) against outrageous medical bills and draconian collection practices.You can listen to the first episode any time, before or after this one. It's about how a legendary lawyer—the guy who beat Big Tobacco in the 1990s—tried to sue non-profit hospitals into acting more like charities and less like loan sharks. (He lost, but it wasn't a total dead-end; that's where this episode picks up.) It's totally fun too. It's right here.Here's a transcript for this episode.

There are different things that happen in your life that you just have to stay persistent, stay patient, and keep moving forward.' - Seyi Ajirotutu   "As long as you stay true to who you are and yourself, where you came from, and those defining moments in your life, you should be all right. Then just look to make an impact in other people's lives." - Seyi Ajirotutu   "People want to help you once they have an understanding of you essentially trying to help yourself more than they're trying to help you. And the only way you're going to try and help yourself is by understanding, getting the knowledge, learning, and doing it." - Seyi Ajirotutu   "Read more and just be a good person. You can do it regardless of the adversity or the triumphs that you have. We all have them. Just keep at it and vet and search for people that can help you out and keep going from there." - Seyi Ajirotutu   Engage with Seyi Ajirotutu BodyFly Fitness Website   Connect with Expert(ish) Podcast Host JAY JOHNSON Call (858) 925- 4536 Website LinkedIn Facebook Instagram   Listen to more episodes of the Expert(ish) Podcast ITunes Spotify
