The US blockade of the Strait of Hormuz started today. Iran has promised retaliation. China has issued direct warnings to Washington — and Trump's Iran war strategy may be heading toward catastrophe. In this episode of The Voices of War, I sit down with Dr. Robert 'Bob' Bowker — 37 years as an Australian diplomat in the Arab world, Ambassador to Jordan and Egypt, intelligence analyst with the Office of National Assessments, and one of the sharpest minds on Middle East war and geopolitics alive today. What we cover: → What the Hormuz blockade actually means for global oil prices (Brent at $94 — physical oil already trading at $150+) → Why the Islamabad peace talks collapsed and what it signals for the Iran-US conflict → Iran's asymmetric warfare options and retaliation timeline → The China-Iran war dynamic that could escalate a regional crisis into a global confrontation → Trump's Iran war strategy — and exactly where it breaks down → Israel's influence on US foreign policy → The fractures inside the Gulf Cooperation Council → Why this Middle East war is more dangerous than the 1973 oil crisisTwo red flags Bob is watching: Iran cutting regional oil exports — and China placing naval escorts alongside its tankers in the Strait of Hormuz. If either happens, this goes global. About Dr. Robert 'Bob' Bowker Dr. Bowker served 37 years as an Australian diplomat in the Arab world — Ambassador to Jordan, Egypt, and non-resident Ambassador to Syria, Libya, Tunisia, and Sudan. He served at the UN's relief agency in Gaza and Jerusalem, spent a decade as an academic at the ANU Centre for Arab and Islamic Studies, and worked as an intelligence analyst with the Office of National Assessments. He is the author of six books on the region, including his memoir Tomorrow There Will Be Apricots.
Many of us think of nutrition as something separate from the rest of life – what you eat on one side, and how you feel, think and perform on the other. But this week, I sat down with Jackie Bowker, award-winning functional nutritionist, PhD candidate and CEO of the Global Feel Better Institute, to explore why food is so often the missing link between energy, mood, sleep and decision-making – and why it underpins everything from health to wealth. Jackie shares her journey into nutrition, which began after years of riding a blood sugar roller coaster fuelled by sugar addiction, chronic fatigue and feeling "wired but tired". When traditional medicine couldn't offer answers, she turned to real food and discovered just how powerful our diet can be when the body is struggling. Our conversation unpacks how unstable blood sugar affects sleep, focus and emotional regulation, how ultra-processed foods are disruptive to hormones and gut health, and how closely the gut and brain are connected. We also explore practical, realistic ways to support better health without chasing perfection. Jackie explains why small changes matter, how sleep and nutrition reinforce each other, and why there is no single "right" diet. If you've ever felt flat, foggy or wondered why willpower alone isn't enough, this conversation reframes nutrition as a foundation for energy, clarity and better decisions in every area of life. I've certainly found it to be food for thought, and I hope you do too.

This Sunday we concluded our series, “Misfit Toys”. This week we remembered the moment Jesus stepped out of heaven and made his debut in a messy manger, the moment Jesus began loving the unlikely. From Bethlehem to San Diego and beyond, that was and is still His mission – to seek and to save the lost.We remembered a Savior who isn't afraid to step into our messy situations and love those who might be feeling unwanted, overlooked, or overwhelmed, reminding them just how valuable they really are.Join us for service online or in person every Sunday at 8am, 9:30am, 11am, & 12:30pm (PST).Connect to Captivate! - https://shorturl.at/nKxQuDownload the Captivate App to Stay Connected! - https://shorturl.at/5PfXPIf you want to share how God is moving in your life through this ministry, please let us know at info@captivatesd.com!Decided To Follow Jesus?

Jesus lived in an area occupied by the mighty Roman Empire ruled by an autocratic Emperor during a time of relative peace known as Pax Romana. How did this state of affairs come about, and how did it flourished and operate at the time of Jesus’ birth, during his adult life, and the subsequent early Christian movement? Ee41.

Most think that algorithms are the modern root cause of innovations. But says not only are organizations today powered by data, they innovate through data. With several other colleagues, Marta is bringing data studies back to the forefront of information systems research. She produces workshops, a forthcoming book, and an online bibliography with seminal readings. We talk to Marta about the relationship between data and meaning, representation versus innovation, and whether we all soon live in a hyperreality created through synthetic data that lost all connection to the real-world.

This episode hits different. My friend Cammy Bowker is back and she's bringing the heat about something every parent needs to hear. Cammy is CEO of Global Education Philanthropist and she's been boots on the ground fighting human trafficking for years. Not sitting behind a desk. Actually carrying rifles and wearing bulletproof vests to get kids out of hell. But here's what she's learned. Prevention beats rescue every single time. The rescue stories get the headlines. The prevention work saves lives. And it starts with having conversations that make you uncomfortable. Really uncomfortable. She's not here to sugarcoat anything. This woman has seen the darkest places on earth and she's telling you exactly what needs to happen. Stop being scared to talk to your kids about sex. About pornography. About the reality of what they're seeing online every single day. Because if you're not having these conversations someone else is. And that someone else might not have your kid's best interests at heart. This isn't about living in fear. This is about being a responsible parent who refuses to stick their head in the sand. Your kids are seeing pornography. They're getting messages from strangers. They're navigating a digital world that didn't exist when we were growing up. The least we can do is help them understand what they're dealing with.We Meet:Connect:Connect with Rick: https://linktr.ee/mrrickjordanConnect with Cammy: https://globalep.org/Subscribe & Review to ALL IN with Rick Jordan on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/RickJordanALLINAbout Cammy: Cammy Bowker is the founder of Global Education Philanthropists.

In this episode of The Entrepreneurial You, Heneka Watkis-Porter sits down with publishing industry veteran Michele DeFilippo, founder of 1106 Design. With over 50 years in the book publishing world, Michele brings a wealth of knowledge on how authors can take control of their publishing journey, avoid scams, and profit from their passion. She breaks down the evolution of self-publishing, revealing how independent authors can compete with traditional publishers—and win—by maintaining ownership, setting industry-standard quality, and being smart about their choices. Whether you're a first-time writer or a seasoned author, Michele's guidance provides a blueprint for building a successful, scam-free publishing experience. The Power of Self-Publishing: Profit, Control & Protection Michele is clear: self-publishing isn't just an alternative—it's a business decision. Authors can maintain creative control, keep more of their earnings, and bring their books to market without signing away their rights. But with this freedom comes responsibility. Michele warns against shady hybrid publishers that charge high production fees and still claim a share of your royalties. Her advice? If you're paying for the work, own the outcome—including your files, your ISBNs, and your book's future. Heneka echoes the importance of being informed, noting how many aspiring authors fall victim to scams due to lack of publishing knowledge. Competing With Traditional Publishing: Yes, You Can Michele debunks the myth that self-published books are inferior. With platforms like Amazon KDP and IngramSpark, and a focus on professional-quality design, editing, and typesetting, indie authors can match—and often exceed—the quality of traditional publishers. The key? Following industry standards and never cutting corners. “Readers don't care how a book is published,” Michele says, “only that it's well done.” She urges authors to purchase their own ISBNs through Bowker, which allows them to retain full control over the book in all its formats—eBook, paperback, or hardback. What You'll Learn in This Episode: • How to avoid scams and bad deals in the publishing industry • Why self-publishing can be more profitable and empowering than traditional routes • How to meet traditional publishing standards on your own • Why owning your ISBNs and production files matters • Smart marketing tactics for positioning your book as a business tool • The truth about bestseller programs—and what really drives book success This episode is a must-listen for any aspiring author ready to publish with confidence, clarity, and control. Tune in, take notes, and share it with someone who dreams of becoming a published writer—without the pitfalls. COMMUNITY CONNECTION: Now it's time for our Community Connection segment!

You Just Thought Your Home Was Safe By Robert Riggs You lock your doors at night. You check on your kids. But what if the real threat is already inside—hiding in your phone, your smart TV, or your child's video game chat? In this episode of True Crime Reporter®, former federal probation officer Art Bowker takes us into the digital battlefield unfolding inside your home. Bowker's book Surviving a Cyberattack: Securing Social Media and Protecting Your Home warns how predators groom teenagers with flattery, how romance scammers bleed retirees dry, and how artificial intelligence is being weaponized to impersonate loved ones. Bowker and his coauthor Todd Shipley call themselves “The Cyber Safety Guys”. This is the story about how cybercriminals not only bleed their victims but leave them emotionally devastated, isolated, and too ashamed to ask for help.

The world was undergoing some other major changes — including the climate. Explosive volcanic eruptions late in the 1790s had led to vast quantities of dust being thrown in the stratosphere and this had a short term effect on temperatures around the world. Nowhere on earth was safe — in southern Africa for example it had exacerbated droughts for most of the first three decades of the 19th Century. The fact that the Voortrekkers were being rained on in 1838 was something of a return to normal after the long dry. According to scientists, the most sustained period of stratospheric dust was between 1807 and 1830, precisely at the period dominated by Shaka and then Dingana in the eastern part of southern Africa. There is a very close link between history and climate. In the northern hemisphere, records were tumbling. Unlike southern Africa there were summers of continuous rain up north, grain harvests failed completely in Germany, France and the British isles. When Tamboro exploded in Indonesia in 1815, it spread ash far and wide — and has now being blamed on what was being experienced by the northern hemisphere. A dust veil swept over the north, and distorted the normal wind patterns. In the Eastern Cape, the drought patterns had complicated British Settler lives between 1821 and 1823 — a searing drought which drove most of the new farmers off their land — to become more embroiled in hunting and commerce. Tree ring analysis shows how precipitously the climatic variation affected Zululand in particular in the first two decades of the 19th Century. While this was not the main reason that the powerhouses of the AmaZulu became so centralised, it was all part of the cause of the social and political changes. By the 1830s the introduction of new farming techniques around Port Natal or what was now being called Durban was a revolution — I've mentioned this in earlier podcasts and for good reason. Crop cultivation had increased and surpluses were reported — the growth of the large black peasant society in Natal during the first half of the 19th Century was a significant event. Dingana was outraged by how the former refugees that had fled his rule had apparently appeared to be prefer to live around the Port than return to Zululand. The fact that he had taken to burning down the umizi of chieftans he didn't like didn't help his cause either. So the English traders who were now taking up arms against him weren't just an irritation, they were becoming a centre of power that threatened the Zulu king's power ethos. While the Boers were considering their next moves, planning to conquer Dingana, the British further south were facing a conundrum. If they left the Voortrekkers to do what they wanted, there was every chance that the interior of southern Africa would become more unstable rather than less. Some may find this difficult to comprehend, but back in the late 1830s the expansion of the trekkers throughout the interior was thought of as a threat not a stabilising factor by the English authorities. They didn't see it as christians subduing the heathens, rather as unrestrained expansionism by a group of people that were not under their control. Another major event shook the eastern Cape in 1838, Andries Stockenstrom was going to resign — for the second time after he'd taken off back home to Sweden in the previous decade. As Stockenstrom bade his eastern frontier adieu, he was replaced by a military man called Colonel John Hare who arrived in 1838 with a kind of defeatist attitude, and was almost immediately out of his depth. He relied on information from two sources who were like yin and yang. These two chaos-ridden forces were Charles Lennox Stretch and John Mitford Bowker. Meanwhile, the English traders in Durban were planning was an attack on Dingana's umizi for a second time, their first had gone so well and they were supposed to be coordinating their military manoeuvres with the Boers.

In this episode, you'll also hear:How to obtain an ISBN, and why you might need more than oneHow to use keywords to attract your ideal reader to youTips on pricing your book – and why it won't necessarily reflect the hours of work you put into writing and publishingWhat a literary agent does and why you probably need oneIt's easy to be really passionate about the writing process and about wanting to share your story with the world and, at the same time, also be really lost to how the industry actually works. But if you don't understand how the industry works before you publish, it can actually hurt your book's success and impact. If you missed the previous episodes in this series, you can check them out here!Here are the next set of publishing terms you need to know.ISBNIf you have been thinking about self-publishing a book, you've probably seen this term, but you may not have fully understood what it meant. So let's break it down. ISBN stands for International Standard Book Number. As the name implies, this is a way of identifying your book. In other words, it's a way of distinguishing your book from others. Each book receives its own ISBN, which is typically 13 digits in length and used internationally. But why does it matter? Let's say you want to get your book into a library. The ISBN helps that library find your particular book out of all the books out there. How you get an ISBN varies depending upon where you are. If you're located outside of the United States, you can get one through a local ISBN Agency. If you are here in the United States or in the UK, ISBN numbers are administered by the companies Bowker and Nielsen, respectively. You do have to pay a fee to get an ISBN, but remember: publishing a book is starting a business. So consider this one of the startup costs for your book business. Often, the source you use to publish your book will offer you the opportunity to get an ISBN through them. For example, Amazon will grant you a free ISBN. But a word of caution: that ISBN can only be used on Amazon KDP. That means you'll have to get a new ISBN for every self-publishing platform you want to list your book on. A better alternative would be to purchase your own ISBN, so you have just one to use across all platforms. That said, you may still want to purchase multiple ISBNs at a time, because a single ISBN is only good for that particular format of the book. So if you get an ISBN for your print book, you'll need a separate one for your audiobook or Ebook. So, for that reason, it's not uncommon — and could be a wise business move — to go ahead and purchase 10 ISBNs at once. And because they don't expire, you don't need to worry about your money going to waste, even if it takes you some time to put out your audiobook, updated version, or other formats of your book. KeywordsIn this age of the internet, chances are you've probably heard mention of keywords before. But you may not know how this term applies to you as an author. So here's a very simple way of thinking about it: keywords are what the reader puts into the search engine when they want to find something to help them with a problem they have or questions they are looking to answer. Think about it. When you turn to Google or Amazon because you have a particular need or question, what do you type into the search box? Those are keywords. To put keywords to work for you, you've got to put yourself into the mindset of a reader, not the author. When readers go looking for what you have to offer in your book, what words will they enter into the search box? Spend some time brainstorming answers to that question so you can strategically select keywords that best describe your book and that match what your idea readers are looking for. Then, you'll need to use those keywords to your advantage. Include them in:Your bioYour book descriptionYour information on Author Central on AmazonAnywhere you can!That way, when people in your target audience go looking for a solution to their problem or answer to their question, your book comes up in the list of search results. When you choose the right keywords and leverage them effectively, you can attract your ideal reader to you.PricingPricing is an important topic, because there's so much wrapped up in it — and not just for the book. Many aspiring authors have a desire to use their book as a platform to build a coaching, consulting, or speaking business, so pricing also comes into play as they price their coaching and consulting packages and set their fees as a speaker. That means this is an important thing to get a grasp on as early as possible. Remember, books are a business, and businesses have to think about things like pricing strategy. So, again, put yourself in the mind of the reader. If you only think about it from your point of view as as author, you're only going to be thinking about the countless hours you've invested in researching and writing the book, how much you've paid for the book cover, formatting, editing, and so on.Yes, those things are a significant investment, and you want to make sure you get a return on that investment. But they're also the startup costs to your business, so they shouldn't necessarily determine the price you set for your book. Ultimately, you're going to earn the bulk of your income from what happens after the book — as you launch your coaching or consulting program, start getting those paid speaking engagements, or launch your online course. The book is just one piece of the puzzle. So everything doesn't rest upon the book.Instead, think of the book as a way of attracting people to you and what you have to say. That means the price needs to be reflective of the value that the client, the reader, is going to get and what they believe is reasonable for a book in your genre. Of course, this will vary depending on the type of book you want to write. So you'll want to do some research to find out typical price points for books in your genre, and also think about what your pricing will communicate to the reader and your future client. There's a little bit of an art and science to pricing your book, but ultimately, you do have a few options:Lower price: Pricing your book lower can help you sell more copies. Just be careful not to price it too low, because that can imply that it's of inferior quality.Middle ground: Choosing a mid-range price can be a safe medium that's not too high or too low.Higher price: A higher price communicates a higher value. However, the reader who stumbles upon it must believe that the value is there. If you price your book higher, you'll need to ensure that you have the credibility to back it up. Like it or not, your reader is likely comparing your book with your competitors'. So choose your pricing carefully, and keep in mind what your prices are communicating about you and your book. Literary AgentMost of the above terms are related to self-publishing, but a literary agent is relevant when you are thinking about going the traditional publishing route. A literary agent, or book agent, acts as the intermediary between you and the key players that can get you that book publishing deal. You aren't necessarily required to work with a literary agent, but it's a very good idea if your dream is to be picked up by a publishing house. Traditional publishing is a business that operates on relationships. So, as a new author who does not have those connections and relationships, you need to lean into someone who already has them. Someone who has already built a network, versus you trying to come in and convince people who have no idea who you are to give you a chance.Again, it's not impossible to get a traditional publishing deal without a literary agent, but it is extremely difficult. A literary agent helps reduce friction and makes the process much easier and faster, because they know how the book industry works. They have the relationships already, and they can act as your advocate to help you get the best deal and position your book for success. Without a literary agent, it's so much harder to get an editor to look at your book proposal or manuscript. And that's huge, because the editor is actually the person who sets you up to get that publishing deal. If you approach an editor on your own, you could easily end up talking to someone who doesn't specialize in the type of book you want to write. Then you'll be wasting their time and your own. But a literary agent knows what types of books editors are looking for, and can act as your liaison to introduce you to the right editor for your particular book. Because literary agents know market trends and keep their fingers on the pulse of the industry, they can even help you shape your manuscript so you'll have the best chance with an editor. Plus, they'll help you negotiate the terms of your contract.Of course, as the agent representing you, the literary agent gets a percentage of the deal they help negotiate. Typically, they operate on commission, and are only paid when you as the author get paid. So, while the literary agent may receive a 15% commission, keep in mind that they aren't paid for all the work they do prior to landing the deal, and it doesn't always work out. So when a book deal does come together — largely because of their network and relationships — they deserve that 15% commission! Of course, you do want to do your due diligence and make sure the literary agent is someone you feel good about. Pray about it, and make sure you trust them, because you'll be counting on them to advocate on your behalf. You want to make sure you have the right person for your particular project.
