How Strategic Thinking Transforms Leadership: Insights from Charlie CursonIn this episode, host Josh Elledge speaks with Charlie Curson, strategist, leadership coach, author, and Founder & Director of Mandarin Associates. Their conversation explores the deeper meaning of strategic thinking—beyond planning—and reveals how leaders can elevate their impact through self-awareness, open-mindedness, creativity, and influence. This blog distills Charlie's most valuable insights, showing professionals how to approach leadership with greater clarity, adaptability, and long-term strategic focus.Building a Stronger Strategic Mindset for Modern LeadershipCharlie Curson explains that strategy is fundamentally different from planning—planning is about predictability and control, while strategy is about making courageous, future-focused choices. He emphasizes that real strategy begins with self-awareness, helping leaders understand their own biases, beliefs, and behaviors so they can make decisions from a place of clarity rather than fear or habit. Without this foundation, even the smartest plans fail to address the real levers that drive performance and growth within organizations.Charlie also shares how open-mindedness and critical thinking shape effective strategy. Leaders must actively challenge assumptions, invite diverse perspectives, and create environments where constructive disagreement can surface the best ideas. Creativity plays an equally vital role—too often, “strategy” becomes a recycled version of last year's plan, but true strategic thinking requires imagining new possibilities, exploring different futures, and generating innovative pathways to achieve meaningful outcomes.Finally, Charlie highlights the importance of communication and influence in scaling the impact of strategy. Even the strongest strategic insights collapse without team alignment and buy-in. By co-creating strategy with their teams, communicating with clarity, and fostering open dialogue, leaders can translate ideas into action. He encourages leaders to embrace uncertainty, experiment early, and treat every new initiative as a learning opportunity—allowing strategy to evolve dynamically as the business landscape shifts.About Charlie CursonCharlie Curson is a strategist, leadership coach, speaker, and author of Be More Strategic: 12 Essential Practices to Build the Life and Career You Want.

Sign up for the free webinar on January 8, 2026 at 11am ET with Marcia Reynolds. In this episode, Brian Miller is joined by Dr. Marcia Reynolds, former president of the International Coaching Federation and globally recognized thought leader on emotional intelligence and coaching presence. Together, they explore how neuroscience explains co-regulation—the subtle emotional exchange between coach and client that determines trust, safety, and transformation. Marcia shares practical ways coaches can regulate their own emotions, influence the energy in the coaching space, and trigger the brain chemistry that opens clients to deeper insight and growth. Key Highlights Coaching presence is emotional, not just cognitive. True presence isn't about paying attention—it's about radiating curiosity, compassion, and care that the client feels. Energy precedes words. Before a coach says anything, the client's brain detects safety or threat based on the coach's tone, body, and emotional state. Co-regulation is constant. We always regulate to the person with the most emotional influence in the room—often the coach or leader. The brain's chemistry shapes trust. Compassionate connection releases oxytocin, serotonin, and dopamine, which calm anxiety and open creativity and insight. Judgment, fear, and impatience break presence. These emotions start in the body before the brain and must be noticed, released, and replaced intentionally. Takeaways Regulate yourself first. Your emotional state sets the tone. Enter sessions grounded, curious, and compassionate. Safety is felt, not declared. Saying "you're safe here" doesn't build trust—your calm presence does. Track with curiosity. Listen beyond the story for values, fears, and contradictions that reveal transformation points. Choose your energy intentionally. Notice where emotion shows up in your body, breathe, and return to curiosity and care. Lead with "big light." Like Marcia's mentor said, your job is to model presence and emotional maturity—even when others don't.

Zak Paine and Jordan Sather team up for a packed episode of Altered State, diving deep into the MAHA movement's rapid-fire victories and the growing panic inside the medical-industrial complex. They break down the online drama swirling around influencers, then shift into the real action: RFK Jr.'s sweeping reforms at HHS, the FDA's stunning admission that COVID vaccines killed children, the retraction of a Monsanto-backed glyphosate study, and USDA moves toward regenerative farming.

On this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Charu sits down with former healthcare leader turned multi seven figure mindset trainer and strategist Lin Yuan Su to pressure test a big claim. that up to 95% of success comes from mindset. Lin takes us inside the morning she broke down crying in her car in Canada, after years of doing “everything right” on paper. good education, respected job, security. She unpacks how fear, burnout and people pleasing can quietly run your life while you tell yourself you are just being responsible. Together, Charu and Lin dig into the Success Trifecta. mindset, strategy, action. They challenge privilege questions, talk honestly about money, motherhood, ambition and guilt, and get practical about how to shift your inner game without quitting your job overnight or spending big on coaching. If you are sitting in your own parked car wondering how you got here, this conversation gives you language, tools and permission to want more without burning your life down. About the guest: Lin Yuan Su is a former high achieving registered dietitian and healthcare leader who walked away from a secure career after years of quiet burnout. Today she is a mindset trainer and success strategist who helps entrepreneurs and professionals create what she calls enlightened success. wealth, time freedom and health that coexist instead of compete. Blending science based thinking, subconscious mindset work and practical strategy, Lin supports clients to move from fear driven overwork into calm, confident leadership in business and life. She is also a wife and mom, and brings a grounded perspective on ambition, family and what it really takes to build a life that feels aligned, not just impressive on paper. Key takeaways: Mindset is the driver, strategy is the vehicle. Lin insists that copying someone's business plan while keeping the same fearful, employee style thinking will often recreate burnout, not freedom. who you are being shapes what any strategy can do. Burnout can look “functional” from the outside. Years before that car breakdown, Lin was short tempered, exhausted and unmotivated at home, yet still performing at work. She now names those as clear burnout signs many high achievers normalize. You cannot afford to ignore your inner voice. Lin warns that staying misaligned out of fear can show up as chronic stress and even illness. She is not giving medical advice, but she stresses that emotional dis ease often becomes physical dis ease over time. Do not leap without a bridge. build one. Lin did not storm into her CEO's office to quit. She stayed, got coaching, shifted her energy, left on a high note and built a thoughtful transition instead of a crisis exit. Mindset work is not only for the wealthy. Coaching is powerful, but Lin is clear. the real investment is time, energy and willingness to study. Books, podcasts and free resources can start a real inner shift if you actually work with them. Manifestation is discipline, not magic. Lin shares client stories, like a restaurant owner who grew revenue 400 percent while cutting her hours to a third, and her own fertility journey after releasing deep emotional blocks. She frames these as examples of what aligned mindset plus consistent action can open up, not as guarantees. For women, harmony beats “work life balance.” Lin blocks non negotiable time for family, self and business and aims for flow instead of rigid balance. She urges women to check whether their ambition comes from fear and ego, or from heart and purpose. How to connect with Lin Yuan-Su: Listeners can connect with Lin Yuan Su here.

In this episode of the XS Noize Podcast, Mark Millar is joined by Jason Williamson, the fiercely articulate frontman of Sleaford Mods, to explore the band's most ambitious and unflinching record yet: The Demise Of Planet X, out 16 January 2026 via Rough Trade Records. Created with long-time collaborator Andrew Fearn, the album expands the Mods' sound both musically and emotionally, featuring rare and inspired guest appearances from Sue Tompkins (Life Without Buildings), Aldous Harding, Liam Bailey, and Nottingham grime MC Snowy. Their single "The Good Life" introduces a striking new dimension, with Gwendoline Christie (Wednesday / Severance / Game of Thrones) and Midlands duo Big Special lending their voices to its escalating inner monologue. Blending vivid sonics, acerbic storytelling and pitch-black humour, The Demise Of Planet X imagines the end of the world not through catastrophe, but through the creeping mundanity and absurdities of modern life. It's a ferocious, witty and deeply human response to cultural collapse across 13 tightly wound tracks. Jason discusses the album's creation, the increasing paranoia and vulnerability in the new material, and the band's most varied musical palette to date. He reflects on the collaborations — from Aldous Harding's feather-light touch on "Elitest G.O.A.T." to Sue Tompkins' beautifully raw presence on "No Touch", from Liam Bailey's soulful turn on "Flood The Zone" to Snowy's razor-edged bars on "Kill List." At the centre of the conversation is "The Good Life", where Andrew Fearn's tense production meets Williamson's rapid-fire delivery, while Christie and Big Special voice the inner turmoil triggered by Jason's own outspoken moments within the music world. "Planet X isn't a concept — it's the world we're living in." — Jason Williamson A bold, biting statement from one of Britain's most vital bands, The Demise Of Planet X captures Sleaford Mods at their sharpest and most emotionally exposed. Join Jason Williamson as he takes us inside the making of The Demise Of Planet X — the chaos, the craft, and the catharsis — exclusively on the XS Noize Podcast.

One Year Bible Podcast: Join Hunter and Heather Barnes on 'The Daily Radio Bible' for a daily 20-minute spiritual journey. Engage with scripture readings, heartfelt devotionals, and collective prayers that draw you into the heart of God's love. Embark on this year-long voyage through the Bible, and let each day's passage uplift and inspire you. TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible! In today's episode, Hunter welcomes listeners to the fifth day of December and guides us through a heartfelt reading of Ephesians chapters 1 through 4—a slight detour to make things right after a mix-up with the daily scripture readings. As your faithful Bible reading coach, Hunter invites you to journey together through these transformative passages, emphasizing the profound truth of our new identity in Christ. Blending the wisdom of scripture with relatable reflections—think "wax on, wax off" from The Karate Kid—Hunter reminds us that the Christian life is about putting on who we truly are in Christ and letting go of what no longer defines us. The episode flows into a time of prayer, encouragement, and practical updates, including a shoutout about the new Daily Radio Bible app designed to make sharing the podcast even easier. Join Hunter as we dig deep into God's word, pray for one another, and remember that, no matter what, you are loved—no doubt about it. TODAY'S DEVOTION: Wax on, Wax off. Do you remember those words from Mr. Miyagi to Danielson in the movie Karate Kid? This passage in Ephesians today has a way of bringing that idea to mind. Our Christian life starts by putting on what we are, much like the "wax on" of the film, learning who we are in Christ—putting it on, letting it shape us. Paul spends the better part of these chapters in Ephesians reminding us who we are, encouraging us to put it on. We are in Christ. God has made us new in Christ. He took those of us who were not his people and made us his own. He took those who were not citizens and made us citizens. He adopted us as his very children. All by means of his death on the cross. This is what he's done for us. He forgave our sins, made us new by his grace. And that, my friend, is what you are: you are his, you are in him. So put that on. God loved us and chose us in Christ to be holy and without fault in his eyes. That is who you are. Put that on. The Christian life begins and ends, and includes everything in between, by putting on Christ, living out who you already are. That's the invitation—wax on. But then comes wax off. We need to take off what we no longer are. You are not your old self. You are not the sum of all your old failures, your old feelings, lusts, desires, regrets, and shames from the past. No, take it off. That's not who you are. Put on who he says you are in him. It's by living out who you truly are that you'll have the power to put away what you're not. It doesn't go the other way around. It doesn't start with us trying to get rid of all the old stuff in order to finally live who we are. No, it begins with understanding and living in your true identity in Christ. Then you'll have the power, perspective, and presence of God within you to enable you to live that life, to take off what needs to be taken off. You can't muster this up by trying really hard. There's no physical, spiritual, emotional, or psychological regime that can equip you well en TODAY'S PRAYERS: Lord God Almighty and everlasting father you have brought us in safety to this new day preserve us with your Mighty power that we might not fall into sin or be overcome by adversity. And in all we do, direct us to the fulfilling of your purpose  through Jesus Christ Our Lord amen.   Oh God you have made of one blood all the peoples of the earth and sent your blessed son to preach peace to those who are far and those who are near. Grant that people everywhere may seek after you, and find you. Bring the nations into your fold, pour out your Spirit on all flesh, and hasten the coming of your kingdom through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.   And now Lord,  make me an instrument of your peace.  Where there is hatred let me sow love. Where there is injury, pardon.  Where there is doubt, faith. Where there is despair, hope.  Where there is darkness, light.  And where there is sadness,  Joy.  Oh Lord grant that I might not seek to be consoled as to console. To be understood as to understand, to be loved as to love.  For it is in the giving that we receive, in the pardoning that we are pardoned, it is in the dying that we are born unto eternal life.  Amen And now as our Lord has taught us we are bold to pray... Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven, give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our tresspasses as we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us not unto temptation, but deliver us from evil, for thine is the Kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen. Loving God, we give you thanks for restoring us in your image. And nourishing us with spiritual food, now send us forth as forgiven people, healed and renewed, that we may proclaim your love to the world, and continue in the risen life of Christ.  Amen.  OUR WEBSITE: www.dailyradiobible.com We are reading through the New Living Translation.   Leave us a voicemail HERE: https://www.speakpipe.com/dailyradiobible Subscribe to us at YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@Dailyradiobible/featured OTHER PODCASTS: Listen with Apple Podcast DAILY BIBLE FOR KIDS DAILY PSALMS DAILY PROVERBS DAILY LECTIONARY DAILY CHRONOLOGICAL  

GMoney welcomes Jonathan Drake for a deep, fast-moving conversation connecting Lysander Spooner's 19th-century natural-law philosophy to Bitcoin's modern proof-of-work revolution. Drake traces his path from homeschooling outsider to Spooner scholar, explaining how Spooner's ideas on property, consent, taxation, and absolute dominion became the missing framework that finally made Bitcoin “click.” Together they break down why the right to self-custody, non-confiscation, and immutable contracts fulfills the anarchist property model Spooner envisioned, and why today's government structures, monetary systems, and voting rituals violate natural law by definition. The discussion ranges from jury nullification, fractional-reserve fraud, and the Civil War's monetary triggers to Q-era decentralization, Trump-era regulatory shifts, and Bitcoin's emergence as the first tool capable of dismantling the proof-of-stake tyranny Spooner warned about. Blending philosophy, history, rebellion, and Bitcoin maximalism, this episode shows how a forgotten abolitionist gave language to the digital 1776 unfolding now.

We don't sleep in the same bed. And honestly? Best decision we ever made.I know what you're thinking. You're giving me that look, the one everyone gives us when we mention we sleep in separate rooms. But here's what they don't tell you: if you're not getting sleep, you're not showing up as your best self. Not in your relationship. Not in your life. Not anywhere.In this raw (and way too honest) episode of Toxic-Free with KB, I'm sitting down with my husband Jason Middleton to spill all the tea on our relationship. How we met. Why our third date was couples therapy. The chaos of blending families. And yeah, why we built a literal pillow wall between our beds at a fancy hotel last weekend. We talk about the real stuff nobody wants to say out loud.This isn't a highlight reel. This is the unfiltered, messy, hilarious truth about what it actually takes to stay together when life gets hard.What We Cover:●     Why we don't sleep in the same bed (and why it works)●     How our third date was couples therapy (and why it was the most important date)●     Why judgment kills relationships faster than anything else●     How to maintain independence while staying close●     Why communication is the number one killer (or savior) of relationships●     Blending families: What worked, what didn't, and the lessons learned●     The decision not to have kids together (and why it's okay to choose differently)●     How to know when a relationship is over (and how to exit with grace)This is what a real relationship looks like. No filters. No BS. Just two people who chose each other and keep choosing each other every single day.✨ Watch the full episode! FOLLOW USInstagram:  https://www.instagram.com/toxicfree.kb TikTok:  https://www.tiktok.com/@toxicfreewithkb  SHOP My Favorite Clean Living & Wellness Products:MASA Chips (25% OFF) – Code: TOXICFREEKBhttps://www.masachips.com/TOXICFREEKBVANDY Crisps (25% OFF) – Code: TOXICFREEKBhttps://vandycrisps.com/TOXICFREEKBLightStim (10% OFF) – Code: TOXICFREEKBhttps://LightStim.comSunlighten Saunas – Code: TOXICFREEKBhttps://get.sunlighten.com/toxicfreekbDelavie Science Skincare (25% OFF) – Code: TOXICFREEhttps://delaviesciences.pxf.io/c/2328...Branch Basics (15% OFF Starter Kits) – Code: TOXICFREEKBhttps://branchbasics.com/TOXICFREEKB More recommendations at:https://toxicfree.com 

Today's guest is Dr. Jarod Burton. Jarod is a chiropractor and sports performance coach focused on neurology-driven movement. He blends manual therapy, strength modailities, and nervous system training to unlock better mechanics and athletic output. His work centers on identifying and clearing the neural limits that hold athletes back. In training, there are many layers to human performance and athletic outputs. One critical layer is the power transmission of the nervous system, and how to unlock this ability in all athletes. Many athletes naturally have a more adept system, while others may need more bridges to reach their highest levels of performance. In this episode, Jarod speaks on how his approach has evolved since entering clinical practice. He shares how he uses flywheel training to teach rhythm, “the dance” of force, and powerful catches rather than just concentric effort. He and Joel dig into spinal mobility, ribcage expansion, and even breakdance-style spinal waves as underrated keys to athletic freedom. Jarod then simplifies neurology for coaches, explaining how posture reveals brain-side imbalances and how targeted “fast stretch” work, loud/sticky altitude drops, and intelligently high training volumes can rebalance the system and unlock performance.

He notes that he used to overcoach mechanics and learned that athletes need experiences, not micromanagement. Emphasize principles over preferences. As Jarod says, “If I can teach the principles, the application can change.” 6:55 – Internal versus external focus and simple cues that work Jarod prefers cues that help athletes feel positions instead of thinking about them. He explains that internal cues can work when used to create awareness, but they cannot dominate the session. Use cues that point the athlete toward an outcome. For example, he prefers “push the ground away” instead of detailed joint instructions. 13:40 – What good movement feels like and the problem with forcing technique Jarod warns that coaches often chase “pretty” movement at the cost of effective movement. Technique should emerge from intention, not the other way around. He encourages coaches to give athletes tasks that naturally produce the shapes they want. If an athlete is struggling, simplify the environment rather than stack more verbal instructions. 20:10 – Speed development, posture, and improving shapes without overcoaching Jarod explains that acceleration improves when athletes learn to project rather than lift. Upright running quality comes from rhythm and relaxation, not from forcing tall mechanics. He recommends using contrast tasks to improve posture, such as wall drills combined with short accelerations. Let the environment teach the athlete and save verbal coaching for key errors only. 29:18 – Blending strength training with elastic qualities Jarod sees weight room work as support, not the driver, of speed and skill. He focuses on the elastic properties of tendons and connective tissue for speed athletes. He notes that heavy lifting can coexist with stiffness and elasticity if programmed strategically rather than constantly chased. Use low amplitude hops, bounds, and rhythm-based plyos to balance the traditional strength program. 41:02 – Breathing, ribcage mechanics, and natural movement options Jarod uses breathing work to help athletes find positions that allow better rotation and force transfer. He explains that tight ribcages limit athletic expression, not just breathing capacity. Many athletes struggle with rotation due to rigid breathing patterns, not lack of strength. Use breathing resets before high-speed work to create better movement “access.” 52:37 – Understanding the athletic pelvis and creating better positions Jarod emphasizes that pelvic orientation shapes nearly every aspect of movement. He encourages developing a pelvis that can both yield and create force, instead of being locked in extension or tucked under. Simple low-level movements like hip shifts, step-ups, and gait-primer patterns can transform sprint positions. Train the pelvis in motion, not just through isolated exercises. 1:00:15 – Skill acquisition, variability, and choosing training that sticks Jarod believes athletes need movement options and adaptability, not one perfect model. Variability builds resilience and skill transfer. Too much rigidity in training creates athletes who cannot adapt to chaotic sport environments. Coaches should create tasks that allow athletes to explore rather than follow rigid repetitions. 1:11:48 – Programming principles and adjusting training to the individual Jarod adjusts cycles based on athlete readiness rather than fixed rules. He focuses on how athletes respond to stress rather than the stress itself. Training should follow the athlete's progression of competence and confidence, not arbitrary timelines. He prefers a flexible structure where principles guide but the athlete determines the pace. 1:19:40 – Coaching philosophy, communication, and what athletes need Jarod highlights that coaching is not about showing off knowledge but helping someone move better. He builds trust through communication and clarity rather than overwhelming athletes with science. He believes athletes need environments that reward curiosity and creativity. The coach creates the environment, but the athlete creates the movement. Jarod Burton Quotes “If I can teach the principle, the application can change, and the athlete can adapt.” “Good movement should feel rhythmic and natural, not forced.” “The environment will teach the athlete faster than a paragraph of cues.” “When an athlete stops trying to make the movement pretty, it usually starts to become pretty.” “The weight room supports speed. It should not compete with speed.” “Breathing gives athletes access to positions they did not know they had.” “Adaptable athletes win. Rigid athletes break.” “Coaching is about creating options for the athlete, not limiting them.” “I want athletes who can solve problems, not just follow instructions.” “Trust comes from communication, not complexity.” About Jarod Burton Dr. Jarod Burton is a chiropractor and sports performance coach who lives in the intersection of clinical practice, neuroscience, and high-performance human movement. A student of neurology and motor learning, Jarod works to uncover the hidden nervous system constraints that influence posture, coordination, elasticity, and power expression in sport. His methods combine manual therapy, joint mapping, sensory integration, and movement-based diagnostics to create individualized solutions that free up range, recalibrate neural rhythm, and unlock athletic speed, strength, and resilience. Jarod is passionate about a holistic philosophy of performance; one where the brain, body, and environment work in concert to reveal the best version of the athlete.

As the discussion intensifies, the conversation shifts from global threats to the heart-stopping realities inside a true crime courtroom. What begins as a reflection on bioweapons, lab research, and the dangers of modern terrorism quickly turns into a raw, unfiltered reaction to a high-profile trial entering its third day. Jennifer Coffindaffer, a former FBI special agent known for her deep insight into criminal behavior, reacts in real time to disturbing Google searches revealed in court and the increasingly unsettling demeanor of the defendant.  Her response is immediate and blunt. As the camera stays fixed on the courtroom feed, she calls out the chilling smile on the defendant's face and describes it as the look of a psychopath, a moment that electrifies the chat and underscores the gravity of what is unfolding. The livestream becomes a blend of breaking news analysis, psychological insight, and courtroom tension as viewers ask the central question: is he really the manipulative figure he appears to be, or is there more to uncover as evidence continues to roll out?  Coffindaffer's commentary captures the emotional pulse of day three, where behavioral cues, digital footprints, and trial strategy converge. She speaks openly about her passion for being inside the courtroom, her love of observing proceedings firsthand, and her plan to report live from court as the trial advances. The energy grows as she prepares to head out the door, leaving viewers with the sense that the next updates may be even more explosive. Blending true crime storytelling, expert analysis, and the immediacy of unfolding legal drama, this final segment delivers a cinematic close to a gripping discussion that spans global biohazards all the way to the intimate tension of a high-stakes criminal trial. For audiences drawn to missing person cases, criminal psychology, and breaking courtroom developments, this is a moment-by-moment immersion into the world behind today's most compelling true crime headlines. #truecrime #breakingnews #courtroom #JenniferCoffindaffer #trialcoverage #psychology #forensicanalysis #crimewatch #justice #legalnews Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

“And if you have fun with it, that's going to come across and, I think that's the missing piece. That's where I would start. If I was going to really trust an agency or musicians to create something for me, it was, like, how do we have a conversation or multiple conversations to get us to the most fun way of executing this? Because if you're having fun, you're going to come up with something unique. If you're not having fun, you're just going to try and get it out the way as quick as possible, right? If it's just transactional, I don't think anybody really gets to that point of exploring an idea beyond what's written on the paper. Although it's hard to predict what makes a successful Sonic brand, I think it's more about the process that gets you to that place.” – George Holliday This episode is the second half of my conversation with producers, composers, and founders of creative music agency Hear Me Out, George Holliday and Luke Moseley as they share their thoughts on what defines a sonic brand, how AI is reshaping the music and advertising industries, and their message to the next generation of musicians as they grow up in the age of generated content.

(0:00:00) - Creating a Sonic Branding StrategyThe second half of our conversation picks up as Luke shares his thoughts on what makes or breaks an audio brand. “I think, for me, a successful sonic branding strategy is something that has the lowest friction to actually getting to market,” he says, “to showing people the effectiveness of it, and then it can just be developing from there.” “I also think we kind of rely on statistics far too much in the creative phase of doing all of this,” George adds, recalling his marketing experience prior to founding Hear Me Out. “I think when we really understand the brand and you get to have fun with what it is they're about, that's what's going to make the most successful sonic logo for them.”(0:07:31) - Exploring AI's Impact on Music“That's not really what brands are employing us for and having us as partners,” Luke notes as he and George discuss their Hear Me Out clients. “It's for the understanding, it's for the ability to translate their larger goals and their marketing strategy and how music can help elevate that and support it.” Our talk turns to AI and how much it's impacted the audio industry over the past year or so, and whether machine-generated music might someday replace human artists. “I was thinking about when CGI came into the film industry,” George observes, “and everyone was like, ‘Oh, nobody's gonna go out and make films anymore. We're just gonna hire a studio and make everything in one room.'”(0:12:43) - The Impact of CGI and AIGeorge notes that CGI hasn't replaced cinematography as much as people expected, partially because movie franchises like Mission: Impossible take pride in their authenticity. “It wasn't CGI,” he says, “because Tom Cruise...

Checkpoint 300, the highly securitized border facility between occupied Bethlehem and Jerusalem, is a central feature of Israeli control of Palestinian land and life. An apparatus of turnstiles, overcrowded corridors, and invasive inspections, the checkpoint regulates the movement of hundreds of thousands of Palestinians, granting access to some while excluding most. Offering a nuanced exploration of space in Checkpoint 300: Colonial Space in Palestine (U Minnesota Press, 2025), Mark Griffiths reveals Checkpoint 300 as a stark symbol of Israeli colonialism that embodies larger systems of control and violence. Griffiths's sensitive and timely work highlights the myriad ways Palestinians are affected by Israel's spatial control—whether they travel through the checkpoint or not—demonstrating how colonial infrastructures of inequity extend far beyond their physical boundaries to shape daily life. Drawing on nearly a decade of fieldwork, Griffiths examines how colonial power infiltrates family dynamics, enforces gendered mobility restrictions, shapes local economies, and extends into the global exchange of capital and security technologies. He also underscores how Palestinians endure and resist under oppressive conditions and how indigenous forms of life and living are sustained, illuminating how colonial space is contested and countered, unmade and remade. Blending meticulous research with vivid human stories to show the lived realities of borders, power, and resistance in the West Bank, Checkpoint 300 portrays the checkpoint as an entry into the ways that colonial space is formed through security infrastructure that is both the product and producer of wider geographies of oppression, complicity, and control. Mark Griffiths is reader in political geography at Newcastle University. He is coeditor of Encountering Palestine: Un/making Spaces of Colonial Violence. Morteza Hajizadeh is a Ph.D. graduate in English from the University of Auckland in New Zealand.

Checkpoint 300, the highly securitized border facility between occupied Bethlehem and Jerusalem, is a central feature of Israeli control of Palestinian land and life. An apparatus of turnstiles, overcrowded corridors, and invasive inspections, the checkpoint regulates the movement of hundreds of thousands of Palestinians, granting access to some while excluding most. Offering a nuanced exploration of space in Checkpoint 300: Colonial Space in Palestine (U Minnesota Press, 2025), Mark Griffiths reveals Checkpoint 300 as a stark symbol of Israeli colonialism that embodies larger systems of control and violence. Griffiths's sensitive and timely work highlights the myriad ways Palestinians are affected by Israel's spatial control—whether they travel through the checkpoint or not—demonstrating how colonial infrastructures of inequity extend far beyond their physical boundaries to shape daily life. Drawing on nearly a decade of fieldwork, Griffiths examines how colonial power infiltrates family dynamics, enforces gendered mobility restrictions, shapes local economies, and extends into the global exchange of capital and security technologies. He also underscores how Palestinians endure and resist under oppressive conditions and how indigenous forms of life and living are sustained, illuminating how colonial space is contested and countered, unmade and remade. Blending meticulous research with vivid human stories to show the lived realities of borders, power, and resistance in the West Bank, Checkpoint 300 portrays the checkpoint as an entry into the ways that colonial space is formed through security infrastructure that is both the product and producer of wider geographies of oppression, complicity, and control. Mark Griffiths is reader in political geography at Newcastle University. He is coeditor of Encountering Palestine: Un/making Spaces of Colonial Violence. Morteza Hajizadeh is a Ph.D. graduate in English from the University of Auckland in New Zealand.

linktr.ee/AL99SpotifyInstagramTiktokLinkedinBioRapper AL99 Is Leveling Up with New Melodic Trap Banger “Superduper”AL99 wants people to remember to be themselves. The DMV rapper feels most authentic when he's expressing his thoughts and dreams through music. With his new single “Superduper,” he's stepping into a new level.Blending smooth rhymes, sharp wordplay, and heavy trap production, “Superduper” delivers a melodic, motivational sound. Inspired by the energy of artists like Future and Young Thug, the song reflects AL99's journey of confidence, determination, and growth.Produced, written, recorded, and mixed entirely in his home studio, the track showcases his skills as both a rapper and producer. AL99 creates all his beats using his digital audio workstation and MIDI controllers, handling every part of the process himself.The music video is now streaming on YouTube and shows AL99 in the club, drinking, playing cards, and embracing a boss-up mindset. Released through his independent label TPC Music Production, which he co-owns with his mother and manager, “Superduper” is also his first release under his new distribution deal with Bungalo Records under Universal Music Group. The partnership will carry into his debut LP, Elevate, arriving in early 2026.Music runs deep in his family. His grandfather, Herbert “TUBO” Rhoad, was one of the original members of the legendary a cappella group The Persuasions. Many other relatives performed in bands and in church, creating the environment that shaped him. Although his mother was hesitant about him pursuing music, AL99 studied the business side of the industry, kept creating, and showed her he could build a career with full control.Consistency is his biggest strength. When he isn't in the studio, he's performing at clubs from the DMV to Brooklyn, Atlanta, and Arizona. He designs his live shows as full experiences, moving from hip hop to R&B, pulling out the guitar, and closing with high-energy tracks.For AL99, this is just the beginning of the level-up.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/creator-to-creators-with-meosha-bean--4460322/support.

Alfonso Cuarón's 2013 thriller Gravity follows Dr. Ryan Stone, a first-time astronaut who becomes stranded in orbit after a devastating cascade of satellite debris destroys her shuttle. Blending stunning visual effects, groundbreaking sound design and a career-defining performance from Sandra Bullock, Gravity transforms a simple premise into an immersive, edge-of-your-seat cinematic experience.In this episode, Nathan revisits Gravity more than a decade after its release to explore Cuarón's visionary direction, why the film became a technical benchmark of the 2010s, and how its blend of tension, metaphor and spectacle earned it a spot among the essential films of the century.Up next: Ryan Coogler's Black Panther (2018).Read Nathan's thoughts on ‘Gravity'.

In this episode of The Impostor Syndrome Files, we dive into the psychology behind high performance with developmental theorist Max Stephens. Max's work is rooted in a bold premise: the greatest chokehold on any business or career isn't the market or the competition, it's our own personal psychology. And until we understand and address that, we'll continue to get in our own way.Together we explore the hidden forces that shape high performers, from early emotional wounds that fuel relentless ambition to the dysfunctional patterns that drive success but undermine fulfillment. Max shares why so many achievers feel an insatiable need to “get there” yet never arrive, and how shifting from self-focused achievement to contribution-focused growth changes everything.We also examine the deeper purpose of personal development as self-transcendence, how expanding our “circles of concern” leads to more meaningful leadership and why forgiveness, mortality awareness and radical honesty are essential starting points for transformation. Finally, Max offers powerful insights into how we can break free from cultural narratives, reorient our goals around contribution and create ripple effects of positive change in the people and systems around us.About My GuestMax Stephens is a personal development coach, speaker, philosopher and author of What the F*ck Do You Really Want? who works with executives, entrepreneurs, and high performers who have achieved traditional success but still feel something is missing. Through a sharp, no-BS approach, he dismantles outdated success narratives, helping individuals discover their authentic contribution—the key to unlocking their deepest potential. Blending philosophy, psychology, and real-world application, Max's work isn't about abstract theory; it's about guiding people to a tangible, measurable way of living at their highest level. His book and coaching provide a roadmap for those ready to move beyond materialism and into a life of true meaning and significance.~Connect with Max:Website: MaxStephensCoaching.com~Connect with Kim and The Impostor Syndrome Files:Join the free Impostor Syndrome Challenge:https://www.kimmeninger.com/challengeLearn more about the Leading Humans discussion group:https://www.kimmeninger.com/leadinghumansgroupJoin the Slack channel to learn from, connect with and support other professionals: https://forms.gle/Ts4Vg4Nx4HDnTVUC6Join the Facebook group:https://www.facebook.com/groups/leadinghumansSchedule time to speak with Kim Meninger directly about your questions/challenges: https://bookme.name/ExecCareer/strategy-sessionConnect on LinkedIn:https://www.linkedin.com/in/kimmeninger/Website:https://kimmeninger.com
