In this powerful conversation with Courtney from Boston College, I go deep into my personal journey with anorexia, bulimia, binge eating, and – most importantly – the role shame played in all of it.I open up about:

In this insightful episode, Michael D. Levitt explores the Square Management System Alignment Model, a framework by Matthew Person designed to foster organizational alignment without the need for micromanagement. Developed by Matthew from Town Square Advisors, this model is grounded in real-world executive and M&A experience. It focuses on aligning employee beliefs and behaviors with company systems to prevent culture drift and enable long-term, sustainable growth. Michael underscored the urgent need for such systems, sharing examples of organizations that significantly improved through alignment—not turnover—by earning employee trust and recognizing internal capability. The Power of “Constrained Independence” Matthew introduced the concept of constrained independence, a four-part management model built on Identity, Instruction, Intercommunication, and Information, with ten key operational elements. This framework helps leaders strike a balance between empowering staff and maintaining clarity. Listeners were invited to assess their own organizations using a free quiz at TownSquareAdvisors.com. Michael emphasized the importance of continuous monitoring and cultural measurement—warning that top-down approaches to diversity and alignment can sometimes lead to unintended tension unless rooted in authenticity and openness. Lessons from Championship Teams Drawing from professional sports, Michael shared a compelling analogy about leadership, team culture, and performance. While the 1990s New York Yankees focused on acquiring high-priced talent, it was the Boston Red Sox's commitment to balanced teams and deep culture, under leaders like Tito Francona, that ultimately led to their championships. The lesson? A deep bench, clear roles, and trust in your team's abilities drive real, repeatable success. Trust, Decision-Making, and Human-Centered Leadership Trust emerged as a recurring theme—especially in how it empowers independent decision-making and employee engagement. Matthew contrasted toxic, high-constraint workplaces with cultures that reward initiative. Michael reflected on his own experience of being hired for his potential, not just his résumé, and how adaptable systems that honor both organizational needs and individual strengths pave the way for high-performance cultures. Hiring, Retention, and Thriving Work Environments With over 18 years of leadership experience, Michael emphasized the importance of cultivating an environment where employees can grow, not just work. Culture isn't one-size-fits-all—it's about designing systems and environments where your people can thrive. He challenged the myth of a “correct culture,” advocating instead for cultural authenticity and values-based alignment tailored to each organization. Ethical Offboarding and Supporting Career Growth When it comes to letting people go, Michael shared his values-driven approach: treat exits with dignity, and support people in finding better fits elsewhere. Drawing on personal experiences from both sides of the table, he emphasized the long-term value of trust, transparency, and doing what's best for the individual, even when it's a tough call. Culture Meets Data: Using Analytics to Lead Smarter To round out the discussion, Matthew dove into how the Square Management System uses analytics to assess culture across various organizational levels. This diagnostic tool is especially helpful for startups and mission-driven entrepreneurs aiming to build cohesive teams from the start. The system doesn't promise perfection, but it delivers clarity—giving leaders the actionable insights they need to close culture gaps, improve communication, and align operations with purpose. Listeners are encouraged to explore the free tools and resources at TownSquare-Advisors.com.   Welcome to another episode of the Breakfast Leadership Show, where we dive deep with leaders reshaping how we work, lead, and live. Today's guest is Matt Person—a strategic powerhouse with more than two decades of experience in M&A, organizational design, and aligning people with purpose. Matt is the mind behind the Square Management System, a practical framework that brings clarity and cohesion to companies' operations by aligning people, processes, and performance. His upcoming book, The Culture of Alignment, explores this in depth and is a must-read for leaders building resilient, high-performing organizations. With a career that spans global corporate development, private equity-backed ventures, and even a decade in professional baseball leadership, Matt brings a truly unique perspective. Recognized as a Rising Star by the Colorado Springs Business Journal and a Thought Leader of the Year finalist by the Alliance of M&A Advisors, his credentials are only matched by his passion for excellence. Matt holds an MBA and an MS in Finance from Boston College, and a degree from Colgate University. He's a guest lecturer, frequent industry speaker, and lives just outside Boston with his family—when he's not refining growth strategies, you'll find him on the golf course, hunting down vintage cars, or scouting out his next favorite restaurant.

Trevor Stuart was born in Florida, but raised in Seattle. He was the son of a tech CFO and an Episcopalian minister - so he learned life at many different angles. He graduated from Boston College, and went into investment banking at Morgan Stanley. Beyond that, he worked at RelateIQ prior to being acquired by Salesforce, which then led him to start his own thing. Outside of tech, he's married and expecting his first child soon. He lives in Sonoma, and loves wine - which type depends on his mood and the time of year.At RelateIQ, Trevor and his team had a core problem - pushing more code, and looking to move faster, but limiting the amount of quality issues. His co-founder built the early workings of a system he had seen at LinkedIn, around gate keeping features. Eventually, post acquisition of this company, they decided to start building this solution on their own... which led them toward their own acquisition.This is the creation story of Split andHarness.SponsorsPaddle.comSema SoftwarePropelAuthPostmanMeilisearchMailtrap.TECH Domains (https://get.tech/codestory)Linkshttps://www.harness.io/https://www.harness.io/blog/split-joins-forces-with-harnesshttps://www.linkedin.com/in/trevorbstuart/Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/code-story-insights-from-startup-tech-leaders/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

[Preview 2025] Boston College - Syracuse : L'année de la confirmation by The Trick Play - College Football/NCAA

Charles Derber, a sociology professor at Boston College, talks with Steve about his book, 'Bonfire: American Sociocide, Broken Relations and the Quest for Democracy.' Steve suggests the book aligns with his own assessment that US sociocide (social disintegration) demands revolutionary change. Electoral politics are a distraction and a dead end.The conversation covers the need for a deeper understanding of a system that manufactures and perpetuates inequality. They discuss the historical continuity of fascism as the logical endpoint of capitalism. Indeed, Trump's presidency has exposed the latent fascist character of the US state, stripping away liberal democratic pretenses. Austerity measures and increased ICE (and police) funding serve to suppress resistance and criminalize poverty.Steve emphasizes the need for organizing alternative institutions, building dual power. Charles hopes his book will help connect personal experiences with broader systemic issues, advocating for a collective response to the socio-economic crisis and reinforcing the necessity of long-term, sustainable organizing outside traditional party politics.Charles Derber, Professor of Sociology at Boston College, is the author of twenty-eight books, including the Wilding of America, The. Pursuit of Attention, Sociopathic Society, Corporation Nation, People Before Profit, Dying for Capitalism, Greed to Green, Welcome to the Revolution, and Who Owns Democracy - translated into 14 languages. He is a public sociologist and life-long activist, who writes about structural and cultural analysis of capitalism, public goods, the environment, and social movements seeking transformational change. He is a life-long activist for peace and social justice.

As a loose tie in to the launch of our sister podcast, Natural Law Moment, we could not think of a better guest to have on the Anchoring Truths Podcast than Dennis Wieboldt, the author of a new article forthcoming in the Georgetown Journal of Law & Public Policy titled "Our Natural Law Moment(s).” The article argues that in the last 100 years, American law has experienced two other Natural Law Moments before today. We explore what today's moment, the third Natural Law Moment in Mr. Wieboldt's view, has in common with these past ones, where it has differed, and what it has built on.Dennis Wieboldt is a J.D./Ph.D. student in history at the University of Notre Dame, where he is a Richard and Peggy Notebaert Premier Fellow at the Graduate School and Edward J. Murphy Fellow at the Law School. The first Notre Dame student to concurrently pursue a J.D./Ph.D. in history, Dennis has authored more than a dozen scholarly articles and book chapters on religious liberty, civil rights, constitutional interpretation, and related subjects.Dennis earned his B.A. summa cum laude and Phi Beta Kappa from Boston College.

Preaching for the Eighteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time, Grace Mariette Agolia, offers a reflection on St. Lydia as a model of ongoing and whole-hearted response to God: "Through baptism, Lydia came to know life in Christ and the hope of sharing in his glory, treasure infinitely more valuable than the purple cloth she traded. She heeded Jesus's warning in today's Gospel reading from Luke: 'Take care to guard against all greed, for though one may be rich, one's life does not consist of possessions'"...Grace Mariette Agolia is a PhD candidate in Systematic Theology with a minor in History of Christianity at Boston College. Her primary theological interest is ecclesiology, and her dissertation focuses on the role of ministry in the church's sacramental mediation of God's grace. Before beginning doctoral studies, she spent a year in the L'Arche Daybreak community in Richmond Hill, Ontario, and she currently serves on the board of directors for the L'Arche Boston North community in Haverhill, Massachusetts.Visit www.catholicwomenpreach.org/preaching/08032025 to learn more about Grace, to read her preaching text, and for more preaching from Catholic women.

Will Purnell is back on the podcast today, and a lot has happened since we last talked.If you don't know Will, he's a Seattle Prep alum who just wrapped up four years of collegiate running at Boston College. This fall, he's heading into his fifth and final year at Duke to close out his NCAA career.When we last caught up in spring 2024, Will was just starting to bounce back from a season-ending injury the previous fall. He managed to run 14:25 for 5K outdoors. Solid, but he knew there was more in the tank.Fast forward to now, and Will's been on an absolute tear.He and teammate Theodor Schucht became the first athletes in BC Track & Field history (men's or women's) to break 14 minutes in the 5,000m. Theodor ran 13:46.71 for the school record, and Will followed with 13:53.08, now #2 all-time. He also ran 28:48 for 10K at Raleigh Relays. Quietly, one of the best distance seasons in program history.But the numbers only tell part of the story.In this episode, Will and I dig into what it actually took to get there—mentally, physically, and emotionally. We talk about the setbacks that forced him to grow, how he rethought his approach to training, and what he learned about patience, consistency, and trusting the process. We also get into the nuts and bolts of modern training, like the double threshold system and altitude training, and how it's helped him get to the next level.If you're chasing your own breakthrough, coming back from injury, or just looking to train with more purpose, there's a lot to take away from this conversation.I promise that you will find value from this episode.If you're enjoying the show, consider hitting follow and leaving a five-star review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify!

Vaughn thrives at the intersection of strategy, creativity, and execution, consistently turning opportunities into lasting partnerships. ​ Key Points: Background and Path to Sales Started in theater; transitioned to sales due to communication skills and confidence. First job: selling DirecTV inside Costco, a challenging experience that taught resilience. Gradually moved into more prestigious roles, now at Fracture.   Role at Fracture Tasked with building the B2B infrastructure from scratch, including identifying the ideal customer profile (ICP), creating case studies, lookbooks, product menus, and developing marketing and outreach processes.   Finding the Ideal Customer Profile (ICP) Initially targeted hospitality, but realized sales cycles are very long. Exploring design firms and higher education as more promising ICPs. Higher ed (e.g., Boston College) often needs ongoing art installations, recognition plaques, etc., making them strong repeat buyers.   CRM and Sales Technology Strong proponent of using CRMs despite challenges. Believes CRMs are essential for organizing contacts and outreach, launching automated email campaigns, and tracking sales activity.    Sales Outreach Strategy Focuses heavily on cold email campaigns. Personalized and well-researched. Uses intent data (from sources like ZoomInfo, Bombora) to identify companies showing buying signals. Example: campaign to Ben & Jerry's using their "Flavor Graveyard" as a custom subject line. Warm leads via email before calling; cautious about cold calling personal cell phones (though interviewer disagrees).   Team Dynamics and Management Style Small team (essentially 2 people); the other focuses on account management. Balances trust with light micromanagement, uses CRM visibility (e.g., BCCs, task tracking) to monitor activity, steps in when new leads aren't followed up quickly enough. Believes in hiring people he can trust to reduce the need for hovering.   Challenges and Learnings Struggles with ensuring consistent follow-up on new leads while handling large ongoing projects. Building out processes and infrastructure in real-time while scaling the B2B arm. Emphasizes that real ICP identification comes through direct conversations and testing.

Vào lúc đang tìm cách ứng phó với cuộc chiến thuế quan của Hoa Kỳ, Việt Nam thắt chặt quan hệ quân sự với Trung Quốc. Theo tin báo chí Việt Nam, ngày 22/07/2025, lực lượng lục quân của Việt Nam và Trung Quốc đã khai mạc đợt Huấn luyện “Chung tay đồng hành - 2025” tại Quảng Tây, một tỉnh nằm ở vùng biên giới Việt-Trung. Đây là lần đầu tiên lục quân Việt Nam và Trung Quốc tổ chức thao dượt chung, theo dự kiến sẽ kéo dài đến 30/07. Theo thông báo của bộ Quốc Phòng Trung Quốc, đợt huấn luyện này “nhằm tăng cường học hỏi lẫn nhau và trao đổi kinh nghiệm công tác biên giới, đồng thời làm sâu sắc hơn nữa hợp tác thực tiễn giữa quân đội hai nước”. Theo nhận định của nhật báo Hồng Kông South China Morning Post ngày 20/07, đây là dấu hiệu cho thấy quan hệ quân sự giữa hai nước láng giềng đang ngày càng chặt chẽ trong những tháng gần đây bất chấp các tranh chấp chủ quyền lãnh thổ.  South China Morning Post nhắc lại, về mặt kinh tế, Trung Quốc là đối tác thương mại lớn nhất của Việt Nam và là nhà cung cấp quan trọng cho ngành sản xuất của Việt Nam. Chủ tịch Trung Quốc Tập Cận Bình đã đến thăm Việt Nam vào tháng 4, vài ngày sau khi tổng thống Mỹ Donald Trump phát động cuộc chiến thuế quan với toàn cầu. Tại Hà Nội, ông Tập Cận Bình đã kêu gọi các nước láng giềng châu Á hợp tác để "chống lại hành vi bắt nạt đơn phương".  Hợp tác quốc phòng đã trở nên chặt chẽ hơn giữa hai nước trong năm nay, đánh dấu kỷ niệm 75 năm quan hệ ngoại giao, được thể hiện qua việc lần đầu tiên quân đội Trung Quốc được mời tham gia diễu binh tại Sài Gòn kỷ niệm 50 năm kết thúc chiến tranh Việt Nam. Cũng trong tháng 4, Bộ trưởng Quốc phòng Trung Quốc Đổng Tuấn đã đến thăm miền Bắc Việt Nam và gặp người đồng cấp Việt Nam Phan Văn Giang, với cam kết tăng cường hợp tác quốc phòng của cả hai bên. Tháng 7 năm ngoái, Lực lượng Cảnh sát Vũ trang Trung Quốc và Lực lượng Cảnh sát Cơ động Việt Nam đã tiến hành các cuộc thao dượt chống khủng bố chung tại Quảng Tây.  Mỹ, đối thủ thương mại chung Hợp tác song phương về quốc phòng và an ninh đã được đẩy mạnh cho dù hai bên cũng đang tăng cường nỗ lực khẳng định các yêu sách lãnh thổ chồng lấn của mình ở Biển Đông, nơi Bắc Kinh tuyên bố chủ quyền gần như toàn bộ. Kể từ năm 2021, Việt Nam đã âm thầm nhưng đều đặn đẩy mạnh các hoạt động xây dựng đảo tại quần đảo Trường Sa. Nhưng Bắc Kinh nói chung vẫn kiềm chế, không chỉ trích công khai Hà Nội.  Lý do có lẽ là vì cả hai nước đều đang tập trung đối phó với đối thủ chung về mặt thương mại, đó là Hoa Kỳ. Về phía Bắc Kinh, trong tuần này sẽ diễn ra vòng đàm phán thương mại song phương mới giữa Trung Quốc với Mỹ tại Thụy Điển vào lúc hai nước đang “hưu chiến” thuế quan đến giữa tháng 8. Còn về phía Việt Nam, mặc dù vào đầu tháng 7 vừa qua, tổng thống Mỹ Donald Trump thông báo đã đạt được thỏa thuận về thuế quan với Hoa Kỳ, nhưng trên thực tế hai nước vẫn đang đàm phán để hoàn tất các điều khoản chính  .  Cho tới nay, cả Washington lẫn Hà Nội đều không công bố bất cứ tài liệu chính thức hoặc điều khoản chi tiết nào. Tại cuộc họp báo Ở Hà Nội ngày 17/07, phát ngôn viên bộ Ngoại Giao Việt Nam Phạm Thu Hằng cho biết hai bên vẫn đang "tiếp tục thảo luận để làm rõ và cụ thể hóa các nội dung liên quan", sau cuộc điện đàm giữa tổng thống Trump và tổng bí thư Tô Lâm. Ông Trump thậm chí đã thông báo luôn cả mức thuế 20% đối với hàng Việt Nam nhập vào Hoa Kỳ. Riêng các mặt hàng, chủ yếu từ Trung Quốc, bị xem là trung chuyển qua Việt Nam để “né” thuế của Hoa Kỳ, sẽ bị áp thuế đến 40%. Tuy nhiên, theo hãng tin Bloomberg, các nguồn tin thân cận cho biết các nhà lãnh đạo Việt Nam đã bị bất ngờ trước thông báo nói trên và đang tích cực đàm phán với phía Mỹ để giảm thuế suất. Khi đơn phương thông báo mức thuế 20% trong khi Việt Nam chưa xác nhận, phải chăng Hoa Kỳ đang “xử ép” Việt Nam? Trả lời RFI Việt ngữ ngày 24/07/2025, nhà nghiên cứu Vũ Xuân Khang, hiện là học giả thỉnh giảng (visiting scholar) về quan hệ quốc tế tại đại học Boston College, Hoa Kỳ, nhận định: "Việt Nam có lý do chính đáng khi không xác nhận mức thuế 20% tổng thống Trump thông báo, vì Việt Nam mong muốn mức thuế quan của mình không được nhiều hơn 10% so với các đối thủ cạnh tranh trong khu vực. Việt Nam cũng là nước thứ hai sau Vương Quốc Anh mà ông Trump công bố đạt được thỏa thuận thương mại với Mỹ. Hiện nay, cả Philippines, Indonesia, và Nhật Bản đều đã đàm phán xong với Mỹ và nhận được mức thuế quan ít hơn Việt Nam. Trong những ngày tới có thể Mỹ sẽ đạt thêm được thỏa thuận với những đối thủ cạnh tranh trực tiếp với Việt Nam như Thái Lan, Malaysia, hay Ấn Độ. Việt Nam đang cố gắng kềm mức thuế quan ở mức 10 đến 15%, để duy trì tính cạnh tranh với các đối thủ khác. Rõ ràng việc Việt Nam chưa xác nhận mức thuế quan cho thấy hai nước vẫn còn nhiều bất đồng phải giải quyết, nhất là điều khoản về mức thuế 40% đối với hàng hóa trung chuyển qua lãnh thổ Việt Nam. Điều khoản không rõ ràng này có thể gây tổn hại cho kinh tế Việt Nam, nếu Mỹ mặc định bất kỳ nguyên liệu sản xuất nào mà Việt Nam nhập từ Trung Quốc cũng cấu thành hàng 'Made in China'. Việc ông Trump ra thông báo sớm trước khi Việt Nam xác nhận cho thấy Hoa Kỳ có thể muốn đánh đòn phủ đầu  để ép Việt Nam phải chấp nhận mức 20%, cao hơn mức Việt Nam mong muốn." Việt Nam, "sân sau" của Trung Quốc ? Thật ra khi áp thuế cao đối với Việt Nam, Mỹ muốn nhắm tới đối thủ lớn hơn là Trung Quốc, vì chính quyền Trump vẫn xem Việt Nam là “sân sau” của hàng Trung Quốc. Nhưng thực tế có hoàn toàn đúng như vậy không? Nhà nghiên cứu Vũ Xuân Khang ghi nhận: "Nếu tính về mặt kinh tế sản xuất đơn thuần, các nghiên cứu từ Hoa Kỳ và Úc đã chứng minh điều này là không đúng. Ở Mỹ, các nhà kinh tế trong  chính quyền Trump thường hay sử dụng hai biểu đồ Việt Nam nhập hàng từ Trung Quốc và Việt Nam xuất qua Mỹ, để chứng minh Việt Nam là sân sau của Trung Quốc, khi hai biểu đồ này tăng giảm song song. Tuy nhiên, sự so sánh này là thiếu logic, vì biểu đồ không tính đến vai trò đang lên của Việt Nam trong chuỗi cung ứng toàn cầu. Đúng là Việt Nam nhập thêm hàng từ Trung Quốc, nhưng Việt Nam nhập hàng để đáp ứng nhu cầu tăng mạnh trong nước, cũng như xuất đi các thị trường khác  ngoài Mỹ. Không thể phủ nhận một số hàng hóa Việt Nam nhập từ Trung Quốc có thể bị gắn mác Việt Nam để xuất qua Mỹ, tuy nhiên, theo nghiên cứu của viện Lowy ở Úc thì số lượng này chỉ chiếm khoảng 1/4 hàng hóa Việt Nam nhập từ Trung Quốc, còn lại 3/4 thì hoàn toàn không phải là như vậy. Điều này cũng không phải quá bất ngờ khi nhiều nhà máy từ Trung Quốc đã dịch chuyển qua Việt Nam để sản xuất kể từ nhiệm kỳ thứ 1 của tổng thống Trump, khi thương mại Mỹ-Trung có hục hặc." Trước những đòn thuế quan của Mỹ, Việt Nam phải xử lý như thế nào để làm vừa lòng Trump nhưng cũng không làm mất lòng Trung Quốc? Nhà nghiên cứu Vũ Xuân Khang nêu ý kiến: "Việt Nam vẫn sẽ dựa vào chính sách ngoại giao và ngoại thương đa phương hóa, đa dạng hóa để tránh làm mất lòng cả Mỹ và Trung Quốc. Một mặt, Việt Nam sẽ cố gắng đáp ứng các điều kiện của Mỹ để làm giảm thuế quan, đặc biệt là chống hàng giả, hàng vi phạm bản quyền trên thị trường. Mặt khác, Việt Nam sẽ nỗ lực đa dạng hóa thị trường xuất khẩu để tránh phụ thuộc quá nhiều vào Mỹ. Hiện nay Việt Nam xuất khẩu qua Mỹ khoảng 140 tỷ đô, tương đương 30% GDP của Việt Nam. Đối với Trung Quốc, Việt Nam sẽ tiếp tục tăng cường quan hệ thương mại song phương, cũng như tăng cường hợp tác chính trị và quân sự để Trung Quốc thấy là Việt Nam không có ý định chống Trung Quốc và ngả về Mỹ do áp lực thuế quan." Không thể dựa vào Mỹ Vì Việt Nam phụ thuộc nhiều về Hoa Kỳ về thương mại, chính quyền Trump có vẻ muốn dùng chiến tranh thuế quan để buộc Việt Nam phải “chọn phe”. Chính sách này liệu có thể lôi kéo Việt Nam đứng hẳn về phe Mỹ để chống Trung Quốc ? Hay là ngược lại sẽ đẩy Việt Nam xích gần hơn với Trung Quốc? Nhà nghiên cứu Vũ Xuân Khang nhận định: "Chính sách này sẽ không thể lôi kéo Việt Nam đứng về phe Mỹ chống Trung Quốc, do Việt Nam luôn ưu tiên an ninh hơn là kinh tế. Thứ nhất, Trung Quốc là nước có ảnh hưởng căn bản đến an ninh của Việt Nam, do Trung Quốc có thể tấn công và chiếm đóng lãnh thổ Việt Nam cả trên bộ lẫn trên biển. Bài học Ukraina cho Việt Nam thấy rõ là không nên tin tưởng vào hỗ trợ quân sự hay kinh tế của Mỹ để chống lại láng giềng mạnh hơn, nhất là khi chiến tranh Nga-Ukraina đã kéo dài hơn 3 năm và Ukrain mất 1/5 lãnh thổ ở phía đông vào tay Nga, còn Mỹ thì cũng không có khả năng giúp Ukraina lấy lại lãnh thổ đã mất. Mỹ mặc dù là thị trường xuất khẩu lớn nhất của Việt Nam, với 140 tỷ đô mỗi năm, nhưng 140 tỷ đô không đáng kể gì nếu đặt chủ quyền lãnh thổ và ổn định an ninh lên bàn cân. Việt Nam đã nhiều lần khẳng định cần phải duy trì môi trường an ninh hòa bình để phát triển kinh tế lâu dài. Thứ hai, Mỹ không phải là cường quốc trên bộ, nên kể cả khi Mỹ có muốn toàn tâm giúp Việt Nam cũng sẽ không đủ khả năng đáp trả lại các đòn tấn công của Trung Quốc đối với Việt Nam. Cần phải nhớ Mỹ đã không thể đánh bại Trung Quốc trong chiến tranh Triều Tiên, hay chiến tranh ở Đông Dương, mặc dù Mỹ được trang bị khí tài hiện tại hơn. Đấy là chuyện của 50 năm trước, còn bây giờ thì khả năng Mỹ đánh bại được Trung Quốc trên bộ còn ít hơn rất nhiều, do Trung Quốc đã hiện đại hóa quân sự từ năm 1979 đến nay. Còn về hải quân thì chính Mỹ cũng không còn khả năng chạy đua vũ trang trên biển với Trung Quốc, do năng lực đóng tàu của Trung Quốc đã gấp 200 lần Mỹ. Và tôi xin nhắc lại là 200 lần, chứ không phải nói nhầm. Việt Nam sẽ mong muốn giữ vị trí trung lập như hiện nay để tránh mất lòng cả Mỹ và Trung Quốc, nhất là tránh một cuộc chiến tranh giữa Việt Nam với Trung Quốc, nhưng nếu Mỹ ép Việt Nam đến mức quá đáng, còn Trung Quốc cam kết mua nhiều hơn hàng hóa của Việt Nam, thì khả năng Mỹ mất nốt con bài thương mại với Việt Nam là rất cao. Mỹ nên ngừng hy vọng có thể dùng lá bài thương mại 140 tỷ đô một năm, cũng như một vài tàu tuần tra hay máy bay F-16, để thuyết phục Việt Nam chống Trung Quốc, bởi vì Trung Quốc, với tiềm lực quân sự và kinh tế của một siêu cường, hoàn toàn có thể khiến Việt Nam phải trá đắt hơn nhiều những gì Mỹ có thể cho Việt Nam." Chưa biết cụ thể là mức thuế quan mà Trump loan báo sẽ tác động như thế nào đến xuất khẩu của Việt Nam, nhưng trước mắt, theo báo chí trong nước, Trung Quốc nay đã vượt qua Hoa Kỳ để trở thành thị trường xuất khẩu thủy sản lớn nhất của Việt Nam. Theo Hiệp hội Chế biến và Xuất khẩu Thủy sản Việt Nam (VASEP), Trung Quốc đã nhập khẩu thủy sản từ Việt Nam với tổng trị giá 1,1 tỷ đô la trong nửa đầu năm 2025, tăng đến 45% so với cùng kỳ năm ngoái. Trong khi đó, Hoa Kỳ đã nhập khẩu 905 triệu đô la trong cùng kỳ.

Listen in on many of the foreign policy discussions about Vietnam that take place at think tanks and government seminars in Washington, D.C., and you'll hear this sense of optimism that "Hanoi is on our side." They see Vietnam's historical suspicions of China and the country's ongoing territorial disputes in the South China Sea as key indicators that Hanoi will eventually join a U.S.-led coalition to counter China. Those presumptions, however, are wrong, according to Khang Vu, a leading Vietnamese political scientist and visiting scholar at Boston College. Khang joins Eric to explain why the U.S. is overestimating its military and trade leverage with Vietnam.

Sociocide is a chilling word. Coined by the Norwegian sociologist Johan Galtung, it means the deliberate destruction of a society's social infrastructure and capacity to function as a cohesive unit. According to Boston College sociologist Charles Derber, this kind of social suicide is now destroying America. In his latest book, Bonfire, Derber argues that America is slipping and sliding into a sociocide of broken social and political relations. Drawing on decades of research, Derber connects rising isolation—people eating alone, losing friends, living in "civic deserts"—to the rise of authoritarianism. When social bonds collapse, he warns, isolated individuals become vulnerable to strongman leaders who exploit their fear and loneliness.1. Sociocide is Social Suicide at the Societal Level"We're kind of breaking apart into individual atomized individuals who have no sense of real enduring connection with each other... When societies commit suicide, unravel, it breaks down the possibility of sort of a normal, humane community and life and opens the door to what we're facing today, which is an authoritarian sort of dictatorial kind of leader."2. Americans Are Becoming Dangerously Isolated"More and more people are eating all their meals alone. I've seen data that has up to 68% of people say they eat most of their meals alone. The numbers of people who claim to have close friends, the numbers of who get married or stay married. The number of people who feel connected at their workplace to other workers or to their employers is all on a downward path."3. Isolation Creates the Perfect Conditions for Authoritarianism"Hannah Arendt, de Tocqueville, many great thinkers have recognized that isolation and atomization is a foundation for authoritarianism and strong labor who capitalize on the fear and disconnection. When people are isolated, they look to strong leaders who will protect them."4. Trump Voters Aren't Choosing Death—They're Choosing Survival"The people with the lowest integration into society have the lowest relationships, eat more alone, have fewer friends. The Trump base is, at least according to the data that I've been able to collect, is the part of America most characterized by sociocide... They're scared economically, most of them say they're one paycheck away from poverty."5. The Solution Requires Coming Together in Sustained Ways"The answer to social side is coming together... People have to persevere in public protest together. I mean, you have to come together... I think it's only by trying to build in every phase of your life these connections that give you a sense of hope and caring and possibility." This is a public episode.

A little bit of FAU Basketball to wade into! Florida Atlantic has a new (but now unfamilar) assistant coach on John Jakus' staff! Ken takes a quick look at Demond Parker and describes the positivity that surrounds the decision. In addition, with Boston College coming to the Elly to tip-off the '25-'26 FAU Basketball season, Ken LaVicka goes in-depth into what it means from a historical perspective and re-lives other high-major visits to Boca. Also, a look back at the all-time hoops series between FAU & BC. Plus, Ken re-litigates the decision to lift the 2023 Final Four banner at Midnight Madness instead of the '23 home opener in light of the NHL's decision to have the Panthers raise their Stanley Cup banner at 5p on a weekday. In another wild turn of events, Conference USA is shedding more teams. It's hardly recognizable to the league FAU was a part of. Ken proposes a team that the AAC may want to look at and laments the current state of FIU, who appears to be just existing. Finally, Ken tries to prepare FAU Football fans for what will likely be a relatively rocky preseason prediction period and explains why it doesn't matter in the slightest.

John's academic writings have focused on connections between practices of wisdom, compassion and devotion in Indo-Tibetan Buddhism, on adapting Buddhist practices for contemporary minds, and on interfaith learning. In 2000, John was ordained as a Lama, a meditation teacher of innate compassion and wisdom, within the Nyingma Dzogchen tradition of Tibetan Buddhism. As a meditation teacher, John is known for guiding participants in their discovery of underlying powers of love and wisdom. Since 2000, John has taught meditations of innate compassion and wisdom, adapted from Tibetan Buddhism, for modern Buddhists, those in other spiritual traditions, and for people in caring roles and professions.“In order to really be the kind of person that can make a beneficial difference in our world, we have to learn how to drop down below the superficial reactive level of consciousness we all tend to live on together into more of the depth of our being, the ground of our experience.” – John MaranskyAbout Paul Condon, Ph.D.Paul Condon is an associate professor of psychology at Southern Oregon University, a visiting lecturer for the Centre for Buddhist Studies at Rangjung Yeshe Institute, and a fellow of the Mind & Life Institute. His research examines the ways that psychological science can inform the adaptation of meditation practices in dialogue with contemplative traditions, with an emphasis on compassion training. His research and writing also examine the constructed nature of emotion and concepts, attachment theory, and the impact of meditation on compassion and prosocial behavior. Paul also teaches meditation practices adapted from the Tibetan Nyingma tradition. He has studied and collaborated with John Makransky to develop and teach Sustainable Compassion Training. His practice and teaching have also been informed by study with Tsoknyi Rinpoche, Chokyi Nyima Rinpoche, Lama Willa Baker, and the Courage of Care Coalition. "Care is a natural capacity and being in a caring relationship with another being is more natural and less effortful than being in an antagonist or conflict-based connection.” – Paul CondonSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

It makes sense that if you want to cut down on the amount of spam email you get, just unsubscribe from those emails. WAIT! That could make things worse. There is a better way to handle spam emails, and I begin this episode by explaining how. https://www.yahoo.com/news/warning-hitting-unsubscribe-unwanted-emails-115900557.html Predicting the future is a losing game most of the time. Still, a lot of influential people spend a lot of time and money trying to do it. People forecast where the stock market is going, they predict trends in fashion, technology and everything else. It makes you wonder if all that effort and money trying to predict the future actually helps to make it happen. So why is the future so unpredictable? What forces do shape the future? Joining me to discuss this is Glenn Adamson, former director of the Museum of Arts and Design, New York. He has held appointments as Senior Scholar at the Yale Center for British Art and he is the author of the book, A Century of Tomorrows: How Imagining the Future Shapes the Present (https://amzn.to/442HOfb). People have been floating the idea of a 4-day workweek for over 60 years. Yet it is still not the norm. Why hasn't it caught on? Is it a good idea? Will it ever be a real thing? Here with some interesting insight into the 4-day workweek is Juliet Schor. She is an economist, and professor of sociology at Boston College. Her work has been featured in the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, Newsweek, People and 60 Minutes. She is also the author of a book called Four Days a Week: The Life-Changing Solution for Reducing Employee Stress, Improving Well-Being, and Working Smarter (https://amzn.to/4jQSvr0). There are a lot of weight loss programs and strategies available for people. But what if there was one simple, common sense, easy to do tactic that is proven to help people lose weight effectively? There is. It so simple. And I will tell you exactly how to do it. https://www.ornish.com/zine/proven-benefits-keeping-food-journal/ Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
