Stealing the future and concealing the theft—capitalism's method, as examined by the author of the acclaimed Carbon Democracy Today, extraordinary wealth seems to arrive from nowhere. The trick of conjuring this unearned wealth is, in fact, the key to understanding capitalism's origins and a clue to why the catastrophe of climate collapse is upon us: value is created by consuming the future. In The Alibi of Capital: How We Broke the Earth to Steal the Future on the Promise of a Better Tomorrow (Verso, 2026), Professor Timothy Michell explains how this came about through the imperial expansion of the West, encumbering today's generations with repayments on earlier extractions. Timothy Mitchell identifies the forms of capitalisation, credit, and coercion that turn prospective assets into present income. Rejecting the common idea that claims on the future create only financial or fictitious capital, he traces the terraforming projects – the destruction of rivers, the colonising of territory, the expansion of infrastructure, and the burning of carbon—through which the future has been squandered. Terms such as finance, technology, the economy, and growth function as alibis that conceal this devastating form of extraction. Learn more about your ad choices.

Let's chat—send me a text!How do students begin to see themselves differently in mathematics?In this episode, we're continuing our Math Therapy summer book study with Chapter 6: Makeover.This chapter may be the most personal one yet. It challenged me to reflect on my own math story and reminded me that students don't simply need better grades—they need opportunities to build a healthier mathematical identity.I also share one of my favorite implementation ideas from the book: helping students create a Math-o-GRAPHy, where they graph the highs and lows of their mathematical journey and later use those graphs as authentic mathematical data.In This Episode✨ What math identity really means✨ Why rewriting our math story helps rewire our brain✨ My personal math journey—from Mathlete to math teacher✨ How teachers shape students' mathematical identities✨ The influence of media on students' beliefs about math✨ Why I interpreted Mean Girls a little differently✨ The Math Story Makeover activity✨ Using Math-o-GRAPHy to connect SEL and authentic mathematics✨ Why identity—not ability—is often what changes mostKey TakeawayStudents don't become different mathematicians because we tell them they're capable.They become different mathematicians because they accumulate evidence that they are capable.Every reflection.Every productive struggle.Every meaningful success.Every encouraging conversation.Those experiences help students rewrite their story—and ultimately rewire how they see themselves.This Week's ReflectionAsk yourself:What's your own math story?Which teachers shaped your mathematical identity?What experiences made you the teacher you are today?If your students rewrote their math autobiography in May, what would you hope had changed?Community ChallengeJoin us inside the Facebook group and share:✨ One moment from your own math story that shaped the teacher you've become.✨ One classroom experience that helps students build a healthier relationship with mathematics.Let's collect ideas that help students rewrite their stories one experience at a time.Read Along With Us

Here's a hard boiled treat that will feel like a bullet in the head initially. It may even make you want to take your face off. But hold tight, for there will always be a better tomorrow. Yes, it's a very special interview with the legendary action director, John Woo, who invited our Chris Hewitt, a lifelong fan of Woo's movies, into his LA offices last week for an hour-long talk, principally about Woo's groundbreaking, exhilarating work in Hong Kong on the likes of Hard Boiled, The Killer, Bullet In The Head, and A Better Tomorrow and its sequel. The two of them talk about Woo's humble beginnings, his discovery of action as an outlet and Chow Yun-Fat as his alter ego/leading man, his approach to staging action, his travails on Hard Boiled's greatest action sequence, and much, much more. We hope you enjoy.
Let's chat—send me a text!What if we've been answering one of our students' most common questions the wrong way?When students ask:"When am I ever going to use this?"they're often not asking about future careers.They're asking something much deeper:"Why should I care?"In this episode, we're continuing our summer Math Therapy book study with Chapter 5: Motivate, and exploring how relevance, purpose, and meaningful feedback can transform student motivation.In This Episode✨ Why motivation begins with meaning✨ The difference between real and relevant mathematics✨ Why transferable skills matter just as much as content standards✨ Redefining mathematics as reasoning, problem solving, communication, and critical thinking✨ Redefining success and failure through a growth mindset lens✨ Lessons from Meet the Robinsons and The Magic School Bus✨ Why accountability partners aren't just for students—they're for teachers too✨ How my National Board journey reshaped the way I think about student feedback✨ Why specific feedback builds self-efficacy and motivationKey TakeawayStudents don't always need another real-world application.Sometimes they simply need to understand who they're becoming because they're learning mathematics.Purpose fuels motivation.Meaning sustains perseverance.This Week's ReflectionAsk yourself:How would your students define mathematics?Would their definition match yours?What transferable skills are your students practicing this week?The next time a student asks, "When am I ever going to use this?" how might you answer the deeper question: "Why should I care?"Community ChallengeJoin us inside the Facebook group and share:✨ One way you help students discover the purpose behind mathematics.✨ One strategy you use to build intrinsic motivation without relying on rewards, points, or grades.Let's continue learning from one another as we prepare for a new school year.Read Along With Us
Let's chat—send me a text!How do we create a classroom where students feel safe enough to struggle?In this episode, we're continuing our summer Math Therapy book study with Chapter 4: Moderate.This chapter challenged me to rethink the difference between mathematical challenge and emotional threat. Productive struggle is an essential part of learning mathematics—but unnecessary fear, embarrassment, and fixed labels can prevent students from ever engaging in that struggle.I also share some of my own math stories and how they're influencing the way I'm designing my Geometry Proficiency Lab this year.In This Episode✨ The three meanings of "moderate" in the Math Therapy framework✨ Why moderating math anxiety is both proactive and reactive✨ My own experiences with math trauma in Honors Geometry and Linear Algebra✨ Why students should revisit and rewrite their math stories✨ Wrestling with the balance between cold calling and psychological safety✨ The impact of labels like "honors" and "intervention"✨ The Believe → Behave → Become framework for changing mathematical identity✨ Why teacher language matters✨ Choosing math therapy practices that fit your authentic teaching style✨ My favorite implementation idea: a Math Therapy Classroom AgreementKey TakeawayWe don't help students by lowering expectations.We help students by intentionally creating classrooms where they feel safe enough to meet high expectations.Psychological safety isn't the opposite of rigor.It's often what makes rigor possible.This Week's ReflectionAsk yourself:What labels do your students bring into your classroom?What stories have they attached to those labels?How do your classroom routines communicate safety, belonging, and high expectations?If your students rewrote their math autobiography at the end of the semester, what would you hope had changed?Community ChallengeHead over to the Facebook group and share:✨ One classroom routine you already use that helps students feel psychologically safe.✨ One idea from Chapter 4 that you're planning to implement this school year.Let's build a collection of strategies that help students experience productive struggle without unnecessary fear.Read Along With Us
Let's chat—send me a text!What does it actually mean to be good at math?If you asked your students that question, what would they say?In this episode, we're continuing our summer book study of Math Therapy by Vanessa Vakharia and diving into Chapter 3: Mythbust.While growth mindset may not be the educational buzzword it once was, the ideas behind it remain incredibly important. Students cannot build a healthier relationship with mathematics if they continue believing unhealthy myths about themselves.This episode explores how teachers can help students challenge limiting beliefs, collect evidence of growth, and begin rewriting their mathematical identities.In This Episode✨ Why growth mindset still matters✨ The difference between telling students they can grow and helping them experience growth✨ What it really means to be good at math✨ Why productive struggle is essential for building confidence✨ How the Reticular Activating System (RAS) influences what students notice✨ The role of relevance in learning mathematics✨ Reflection, journaling, and Favorite Mistakes as tools for growth✨ Why evidence—not encouragement alone—changes beliefsKey TakeawayStudents don't develop a growth mindset because we tell them to.Students develop a growth mindset because they experience growth.Productive struggle leads to success.Success creates evidence.Evidence shapes beliefs.Beliefs influence identity.And identity drives behavior.This Week's ReflectionConsider these questions:What does it mean to be good at math?Would your students define mathematical success the same way you do?What evidence are your students collecting about themselves every day?What evidence are they noticing?Community ChallengeThis week, intentionally notice something.It could be:examples of productive strugglemoments of student growthmathematics in everyday lifeevidence of mathematical thinkingThen head into our Facebook group and share what you discovered.I'd also love to hear your answer to this question:What does it mean to be good at math?Read Along With Us
Every decision you make today is either agift to tomorrow-you or a debt she has to pay.This episode is about one of the simplest mindset shifts I've made that changed how I move through my days: Stopping thehabit of creating messes, extra work, and unnecessary friction for future-me, and starting to think about what I can do right now to make everything easier and lighter later.We cover: → Why every undone small thing is heavierthan it looks → The "under 5 minutes" filter — and why it's the only rule you need → How to become a "might as well" person and why it's one of the most underrated habits out there → What momentum looks like in a regular day → How to start thinking about your future self as someone worth taking care of right nowThis one is practical, fast, and immediately applicable.

Let's chat—send me a text!Welcome back to our summer Math Therapy book study series!This week we're discussing Chapter 2 and exploring a question many teachers may be asking:What exactly is math therapy?One of the biggest takeaways from this chapter is that math therapy isn't about becoming a licensed therapist. Instead, it's about becoming more intentional about the human side of mathematics.As teachers, we already help students:navigate frustrationrecover from mistakesbuild confidencedevelop resiliencechallenge limiting beliefsMath therapy simply gives us a framework for doing that work more intentionally.In This EpisodeVanessa Vakharia's journey into math therapyWhy teachers already influence students' mathematical identitiesThe Five Ms framework:MythbustModerateMotivateMakeoverMeasureThe connection between Atomic Habits and mathematical identityWhy beliefs shape identity and identity shapes habitsThe importance of bringing your whole self into mathematicsCreating classroom agreements rooted in empathy and belongingRethinking the first two weeks of schoolA Powerful QuestionWhat if the first two weeks of school weren't just about procedures and review?What if they were also about helping students build a healthier relationship with mathematics?This question is shaping much of my planning for Geometry Proficiency Lab and may be one of the most impactful ideas from the chapter.This Week's ReflectionConsider these questions:What are you already doing that supports students' mathematical well-being?How do you build belonging in your classroom?What messages do your students receive about who can be successful in math?Which of the Five Ms do your students need most?Community ChallengeJoin us inside the Facebook group and share:One thing you're already doing that aligns with math therapyOne activity you plan to use during the first two weeks of schoolWhich of the Five Ms you're most excited to learn more aboutLet's learn from each other as we prepare for a new school year.Read Along With Us
Let's chat—send me a text!This week, we're kicking off our summer book study of Math Therapy by Vanessa Vakharia.Rather than providing a chapter-by-chapter summary, this series is designed as a conversation around the ideas that resonate most, the questions they raise, and how they might influence our classroom practices.In Chapter 1, one idea kept surfacing again and again:The stories we tell ourselves about mathematics matter.From cultural stereotypes and family messaging to our own classroom experiences, students often arrive carrying beliefs about who they are as math learners long before we ever meet them.In This EpisodeWhy the "math person" myth is so persistentThe surprising connection between Teen Talk Barbie and productive struggleThe difference between math anxiety and math traumaHow family experiences influence mathematical identityWhat intervention students have taught me about confidence and resilienceQuestions I'm beginning to explore about math trauma in honors classesThis Week's ReflectionConsider these questions:Were you told you were a math person growing up?What messages about mathematics shaped your own identity?How do stress, anxiety, and math trauma show up in your students?Does it look different in intervention classes versus advanced courses?Community ChallengeThis week, start noticing how mathematics is portrayed in everyday life.Look for examples in:TelevisionMoviesSocial mediaAdvertisementsConversations with friends and familyThen share your observations inside our Facebook group.

Let's chat—send me a text!Struggle Is Learning. Drowning Is Not.One of the biggest lessons I've learned this year is that not all struggle is productive.As math teachers, we want students to wrestle with ideas, persevere through challenges, and make sense of mathematics. But there's a fine line between productive struggle and overwhelming frustration.In this episode, we're exploring what productive struggle actually looks like, why support and rigor aren't opposites, and how to challenge students without leaving them stranded.Because struggle is learning.Drowning is not.

What happens when you finally slow down long enough to notice what’s not working? After an unexpected week away at a health retreat, Justin and Kylie came home with two surprisingly simple insights that completely shifted the way they parent, connect, and live. From the tension between personal growth and relationships… to the life-changing impact of putting phones away and sitting quietly in nature… this episode is a gentle but powerful reminder that sometimes the smallest changes create the biggest calm. If family life has felt noisy, rushed, or emotionally crowded lately, this conversation might be exactly the reset you need. KEY POINTS: Why “good” priorities can still create tension The hidden emotional load parents carry every day What Justin learned from putting screens away at 6pm How stillness and green space affect stress and connection The surprising power of intentional downtime Why parents rarely give themselves permission to pause QUOTE OF THE EPISODE: "There are many good things competing for our time and energy. At any given moment, we just have to decide what matters most right now." RESOURCES MENTIONED: Boys: Building Strong Young Men from the Inside Out by Dr Justin Coulson ACTION STEPS FOR PARENTS: Put your phone away one hour earlier tonight Spend 5–10 minutes outside with no agenda Ask yourself: What matters most in this moment?

Artificial intelligence is quickly becoming part of everyday classroom life—but the real conversation may be bigger than whether students should be using it.Students using AI isn't the real story.The real story is what their use of AI is revealing about how school currently works.In this episode, I'm joined by Aron Boxer, CEO and Founder of Diversified Education Services and a former special education teacher and executive functioning specialist. Aron has more than 15 years of experience working with students and families and brings a relationship-based perspective to how students learn and develop.Together, we explore what the rise of AI in education may actually be revealing about our current system.Instead of focusing only on the technology itself, we dig into deeper questions:Why has student AI use accelerated so quickly?What does that trend tell us about the way students experience school?What does meaningful human development look like in a world where information is no longer scarce?For math teachers and classroom educators, this conversation also raises an important challenge: if technology can generate answers instantly, how do we design learning experiences that still prioritize reasoning, problem solving, and human connection?This episode offers a thoughtful perspective on the future of learning and the skills students need most in an AI-driven world.In This Episode We Discuss✔ Why students are rapidly adopting AI tools ✔ The difference between cheating and adaptation ✔ How AI may be exposing deeper shortcomings in our education system ✔ Why banning AI may not solve the real problem ✔ The skills schools should prioritize when information is no longer scarce ✔ How teachers can preserve human connection and authentic thinking in AI-rich classroomsAbout Our GuestAron Boxer is the CEO and Founder of Diversified Education Services.

A cuarenta años exactos del estreno A Better Tomorrow en Hong-Kong es evidente que John Woo (director y coguionista) y Tsui Hark (productor) no tenían conciencia de lo que estaban desatando con esta fábula de mafia y familia, ambientada en plena era de corrupción y plata dulce. En principio, estaban inspirándose en viejos policiales de los años 60, pero su mix de hermandad a toda prueba, lealtades que se traicionan y familias puestas contra la pared, más un torrente sin fin de balas, crearon un nuevo género: el Gung Fu, el ballet de disparos que hizo de Woo uno de los cineastas más demandados por el mercado en los años 90, y de Tsui Hark uno de loos padres espirituales del cine de Tarantino. Las aventuras del hermano Sung y el hermano Mark (inolvidable Chow Yun Fat), sin embargo, son mucho menos frenéticas y desbocadas que las cintas que emergieron en su égida; de hecho, es su veta sentimental, la cebolla masculina aplicada en generosas —aunque precisas— dosis la que le da su estatus de clásico, de punto y aparte en el cine de acción. Sobre eso y más se habla en este podcast.
The Chairman Of The Church of Pentecost, Apostle Eric Nyamekye, throws more light on this in this insightful message titled "The Law of the Temple" at the PIWC Trassaco Auditorium in Accra. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Tyler Johns and Lance Taylor are back talking movies, TV, and what's worth your time—from a fresh Scream 7 theater trip to deep-cut classics and streaming picks on the FIRST episode of The Next Reel! In this episode:
A tough-as-nails cop (Chow Yun-Fat) teams up with an undercover agent (Tony Leung Chiu-Wai) to shut down a sinister gun-runner (Anthony Wong) and the rest of his gang in Hong Kong.That's the standard IMDB description for the plot of this film but as directed by master action autuer John Woo (The Killer, A Better Tomorrow, Face/Off, Mission Impossible II), it's SO much more! Infact this is now remembered as one of the more influential action films of the 1990's featuring Woo's unique blend of balletic action, melodramatic flourishes, and doves. (Well in this case, origami doves) Beloved action star Chow Yun Fat (Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon, The Killer) leads the charge as "Tequila," a Hong Kong super-cop who has it all: he's good with babies, he plays a mean clarinet, and he can dispatch with any number of bad guys with a nickel-plated Norinco pistol in each hand. ;) Decades before John Wick would reinvent the action genre with "gun fu," this international sensation did it first....and better?

You’re one eye-roll away from losing it.You’ve called their name four times.You’re hot, tired, and absolutely done. And then patience changes everything. In this Friday episode, Justin and Kylie share two small choices that create big connection: making time for the people marrying into your family, and holding your nerve long enough for your child to come to you. Because when we slow down, relationships grow. KEY POINTS Attention is the rarest and purest form of generosity. Time invested now shapes future in-law relationships. Kids often need space to process before they respond. Patience prevents power struggles and invites cooperation. Small messages of love spark big moments of connection. Even eye-rolling kids still want us in their world. QUOTE OF THE EPISODE “Patience got us there.

One honest conversation. One brave decision. One life changed. In this I’ll Do Better Tomorrow episode, Kylie shares a moment she almost dismissed — until a handwritten letter revealed the unimaginable impact it had. We also unpack why goals often fail kids, how habits quietly heal, and what happens when parents choose courage over convention. This is about noticing what’s not working… and acting before it’s too late. KEY POINTS Why focusing on who your child is becoming matters more than hitting a goal How movement reduces anxiety and low mood (even when it doesn’t “make you happy”) The quiet warning signs parents often miss Why “the best school” isn’t always the right school How one conversation gave a mum the courage to act — and likely saved a life A powerful reminder: resilience doesn’t grow alone, it grows in relationships QUOTE OF THE EPISODE “So often we keep doing the same thing, hoping it will get better — but nothing changes until we act.” RESOURCES MENTIONED Happy Families — parenting courses and support Parenting ADHD [The Course] (happyfamilies.com.au) The Industry School (alternative education option discussed) ACTION STEPS FOR PARENTS Get curious, not furious: ask why before fixing Shift goals into habits — focus on daily ways of being Watch energy, mood, and behaviour for quiet signals If something isn’t working, give yourself permission to choose again Have the brave conversation — it might matter more than you realise See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
