Send us Fan MailAI can write your emails, summarize your meetings, and spin up a strategy deck in minutes, but it cannot do the one thing that actually determines outcomes: execute. Grant McGaugh sits down with Peter De la Torre, a longtime executive and the creator behind the Magic of 13 Weeks, to confront a brutal truth leaders need to hear. Most teams don't have a knowledge problem. They have an execution problem, and the gap between knowing and doing is where goals go to die.We dig into the hidden “blind spots” that sabotage implementation, including AI abdication, when companies invest in artificial intelligence but ignore the human habits required to make it work. We also break down the 12-month mirage that turns yearly planning into annualized lethargy, plus the convenience of busy, where meetings and inbox churn replace results. Peter shares a clear rule of thumb for productivity and business growth: protect the time that drives revenue-producing activities or results-producing activities, and automate the rest.The conversation moves from tactics to identity: red ocean competition versus blue ocean creation, personal vision that creates an emotional stake, and ruthless honesty as the foundation for real change. Peter challenges the usual language around accountability, arguing that ownership is the only lever that consistently works, then adds a practical tool to keep execution real: predictive scorekeeping built on lead indicators, like a scoreboard that tells you whether you're winning before the quarter ends.If you want a repeatable execution framework that makes strategy real, press play now. Subscribe, share this with a leader who's stuck in “busy,” and leave a review with the one execution habit you're committing to next.Thanks for tuning in to this episode of Follow The Brand!

Today's Episode is one of those interviews that give you a warm feeling of anticipation when you get it in the diary, then when you're researching and preparing the questions, you're really looking forward to it, and finally the recording itself session happens and it goes even better than you hoped. Now a couple of weeks later I have just listened back and I'm still smiling because this is something quite special and very different from the everyday. Richard Brindle and Clive Washbourn are two of the most celebrated underwriters of their generation and have each been on the podcast more than once in their own right. For the last five years Richard and Clive have been underwriting under the same group organisational roof in The Fidelis Partnership and Navium respectively. Richard even cited Clive's new-found joie de vivre at Navium as the inspiration for the bifurcation of Fidelis into the Fidelis Partnership and Pelagos. This podcast is only briefly about the grand issues of the day. My interviewees very quickly deal with these and then we start examining much more timeless and valuable questions. The core of this meeting is really a long discussion about what makes a good underwriter and then what makes a good underwriter a great one. We examine all of this in the context of the AI revolution and how to apply it to the business of outperforming in insurance underwriting. This is a masterclass that will teach you an awful lot. Along the way you'll also spend quality time with two of the market's strongest and most charismatic personalities. The result is an instant classic that provides a valuable listen for any insurance professional at any stage in their career. NOTES: At time of recording Fidelis Insurance Group had only just rebranded to Pelagos Insurance Capital, so if there is the odd slip of the tongue, be clear that we should have referred to Pelagos, and will definitely be doing so from now onwards. Richard mentions the Sharpe Ratio, which is an investment metric used to measure the relative volatility of the returns of a company. Events in Iran, the Gulf States and the Straits of Hormuz are incredibly volatile and have already changed fundamentally, even in the short time between recording this interview and its release date. Please keep yourself best informed by using up-to-the-minute news and intelligence sources. Finally Richard mentions that there are two charities. The Fidelis Foundation is The Fidelis Partnership's charity, and Richard's personal charity is called The Muriel Jones Foundation.

Jeannette sits down with Eddy Hackett, co-founder and executive producer of the Lost Estate, who shares his fascinating journey from training as a classical percussionist to scaling a thriving, multi-million-pound immersive theatre business.  He dives deep into the realities of bootstrapping, the strategic value of looking for capital before you absolutely need it, and how an organisation can build a uniquely resonant brand by leading with its core, human centric identity. You'll Learn Why: A non-linear career shift can introduce creative squiggles that open unexpected and highly lucrative doors. Bootstrapping forces an organisation to adopt a lean, resource-aware mindset that naturally drives creativity. The optimal time to raise capital is when your business is at its strongest, rather than when cash is running low. Elevating your core brand promise is essential for building consumer trust in a highly volatile market. Whether you're a founder, CEO, small business owner, entrepreneur, startup leader or executive, these lessons will help you make smarter hiring decisions and build a stronger, more successful business.

What if you've been looking for purpose in all the wrong places?So many people spend years believing they need to discover their one purpose. As though it's hiding somewhere outside of them, waiting to be found. They may, for a season, find purpose in a role they play or in career or another goal or achievement.But when life changes through midlife transitions, retirement, empty nest, grief, or a career shift, many people feel like they've lost their purpose. They feel destabilized, unmoored, and sometimes scared.In this first episode of a new series, I'm exploring what purpose really is, why it matters so deeply to our health and well-being, and how our experience of purpose naturally changes throughout our lives.I'll share why believing there's only one purpose for your life robs you of joy and wellbeing, and how learning to reconnect with your True Self allows purpose to become less about striving or doing and more about being.You'll also hear why purpose isn't reserved for extraordinary achievements. There are two distinct ways to look at and experience purpose. Both are important.Purpose is 1) an innate seed within the true self, discovered, developed, and practiced or lived over time.Purpose is 2) a practical tool that can be deliberately leveraged in any season, including in crisis, struggle, or vulnerable life transitions.In this episode, you'll discover:✨ How purpose can be a practical tool that brings hope, resilience, and meaning during life's hardest seasons. And examples of this.✨ Why purpose is far more than a career, calling, or accomplishment.✨ The research showing how living with purpose supports your physical, mental, and emotional health.✨ Why the belief that you have one single life purpose can leave you feeling discouraged or even in distress.✨ How purpose evolves through every season of life. Even if you have a strong vision for your life or for how to use your gifts in the world.You don't need to have your entire life figured out to live with purpose.You don't have to accomplish something extraordinary to matter.Purpose is easier than most people think and available to all.But I also want you to understand how to experience deeply rooted, long-lasting sense of purpose that is reciprocal (it fills you up and benefits others) and that comes from walking in freedom, wholeness, and joy.ResourcesHow to Live on Purpose (free resource that offers an overview of purpose, many ideas about purpose, and reflection prompts to help you explore what gives you purpose or meaning in this season): Befriend Your True Self and (Re)claim Freedom and Joy | A Life In Progress*if the sign up form does not show up, please refresh your browserIf you want to create a soul-honouring life, one that is an expression of your True Self and helps you thrive forward in every season, you need to check out the Life Visioning Course: https://www.alifeinprogress.ca/life-visioning-course/Join the waitlist for the Brave and Beautiful Community for growth-minded midlife women: https://www.alifeinprogress.ca/community/Connect with Krista:Instagram: @a_life_in_progressFacebook: @alifeinprogressca and @rebrandingmiddleageYouTube: @ALifeinProgressWebsite: alifeinprogress.ca

Southeast Asia's venture market is not in a downturn. It is in a structural winter, and mid-2026 is when that distinction stopped being academic. Kristie Neo returns to break down what is actually happening across the region: Singapore's IPO revival is real but is being carried by data centres and REITs rather than homegrown tech; allocators now rank Southeast Asia at the bottom of Asia behind China, India, Japan, Korea and ANZ; and a generation of growth-stage companies is being kept alive past the point where a merger or a wind-down would have served everyone better. Jeremy Au and Kristie also work through what could actually restart the funding ladder, from encouraging tech M&A and fixing university IP commercialisation, to tax incentives for angels and support for syndicate leads who can assemble the $1 million to $5 million rounds that Singapore currently cannot fill. If you are a founder raising in Singapore, Indonesia, Vietnam, Philippines, Thailand or Malaysia, or an LP trying to work out where capital goes next in Asia, this is the honest state of the market.

Send us Fan MailMost security teams keep buying tools and still feel behind. That's not because you picked the “wrong” scanner or missed the latest AI feature. It's because many organizations are trying to secure software like it's a one-time project instead of a repeatable manufacturing process. I'm joined by Darius Radford, founder and CEO of Knights Watch Cyber, to make that idea concrete and practical for any software-driven business. Darius breaks down why applications, APIs, CI/CD pipelines, cloud platforms, open source dependencies, and identity are the real battlefield now. He shares the core insight behind what he calls the Secure Software Factory: software isn't “written” anymore, it's manufactured. When you adopt a factory mindset, you build in quality control, governance, automation, standards, metrics, and feedback loops so secure software development becomes consistent instead of heroic. We also walk through the four capabilities he sees as non-negotiable: orchestrated delivery, developer-centric application security tooling, supply chain and artifact management governance, and unified risk correlation that turns endless security data into real context. We go straight at the AI era too. Developers and AI will build the next generation of products together, which makes AI security governance and testing even more urgent. Darius gives practical guardrails for AI-generated code, including input validation, session management, authentication and authorization checks, and permission modeling. We also talk about how a mature DevSecOps approach can help you win deals by proving security by design with repeatable metrics and alignment to common risk frameworks like OWASP. If you build software, lead engineering, or sell into security-conscious customers, this conversation is for you. Subscribe, share this with a builder on your team, and leave a review with your biggest question about secure software development, what are you struggling to make repeatable?Thanks for tuning in to this episode of Follow The Brand!

Daniel Suh spent a decade optimizing for prestige. Korean immigrant parents who left careers behind to start a small business in the US, a childhood spent moving apartments through bankruptcy, UCSD, five years in consulting to put his brother and mother through school, then an accelerated JD-MBA at Northwestern. He landed the big law summer and a private equity offer, the American dream on paper. He was elated for about ten minutes. "It felt like climbing a mountain for ten years. You get to the summit, and then you realize you climbed the wrong mountain the whole time." Today he is General Partner at Gold House Ventures, the cultural capital fund backing founders at the intersection of AI and creativity.  In this conversation with Jeremy Au, Daniel breaks down the second-generation guilt that pushes immigrant kids into careers they never chose, the high school demand letter that won back his family's security deposit in 24 hours, and why Gold House evolved from an Asian founder fund into something broader. He gets specific about what "cultural capital" actually buys a founder that money and introductions cannot, and why the backlash against AI is a narrative problem rather than a technology one. If nobody trusts the model, adoption stalls no matter how good the model is. Culture, not capability, is what moves people. A conversation for founders, VCs and operators across Singapore, Indonesia, Vietnam, the Philippines, Thailand and Malaysia who are quietly wondering whether they are climbing someone else's mountain.

Puhumme siitä, miten mangan kohdeyleisöjen perinteinen nelikenttäjaottelu – shounen, shoujo, seinen ja josei – ei täysin vastaa todellisuutta siitä, mille kohdeyleisöille mangaa nykyään tehdään. Keskustelu on laajennettu versio tämän kesän Desucon-ohjelmastamme. Ajankohtaisena aiheena puhumme siitä, miten Solut työssä -sarjan tekijä Akane Shimizu on avautunut kustannustoimittajien taholta kokemastaan ikävästä kohtelusta.

Kam Karaji, Director of Cyber Security & Risk Management at the NFL, shares what 13 years in counter-terrorism and criminal intelligence taught him about protecting high-stakes environments, and discusses how that thinking now shapes security across five countries and 70,000-person stadiums. He explains why a venue full of fans is really just a very large computer, and why the data a fan hands over the moment they buy a ticket is more time-sensitive than most people realize. Key Takeaways: How the NFL manages fan data across different legal jurisdictions, and why that data becomes time-sensitive the moment the league leaves a country Why the biggest security investment leaders should be making right now isn't in technology How a single piece of player misinformation can trigger a chain reaction from betting markets to a club's bottom line Why a stadium full of fans is really a cybersecurity problem (and what happens when that computer gets hacked) Guest Bio: Kam Karaji leads cyber security and risk management for the NFL's international programme, protecting games, venues, and people across Europe, the Americas, and beyond. Before moving into the corporate world, he spent over thirteen years in law enforcement as a police officer and Bronze Commander, working in criminal intelligence, counter-terrorism and international firearms training with the UK's National Crime Agency (service that earned him gallantry recognition for the protection of the British Royal Family). Today his focus is the human side of security in an increasingly automated world. As AI reshapes how organizations assess risk, train teams, and defend themselves, Kam is interested in where the technology genuinely helps and where it quietly creates new blind spots. His guiding belief is simple: confidence without control becomes chaos, and without people, none of it works. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- About this Show: The Brave Technologist is here to shed light on the opportunities and challenges of emerging tech.

What does it mean to be brave? What if courage isn’t the absence of fear, but trusting God enough to take the next step anyway? In week 12 of our journey through the Book of Acts, Laurel Bunker walks through Acts 5:12-42, where the apostles refused to stop sharing the hope of Jesus despite opposition, threats and imprisonment. Their boldness wasn’t rooted in their own strength. It came from the Holy Spirit working through them. Many of us are waiting until we feel ready before taking a step of faith. But what if bravery looks less like fearless confidence and more like faithful obedience? Whether it’s asking for help, pursuing healing, extending forgiveness or sharing your faith, God often calls us to take one small step and trust Him with the rest. Where is God inviting you to be brave? – – – – – – – –1) Drop a comment to share the step of courage God is calling you to take this week. 2) Share this message with someone who needs encouragement today. 3) Jump into our yearlong study through the Book of Acts: crosspoint.tv/acts 4) Find a Cross Point location in Middle Tennessee:https://crosspoint.tv/locations

The women who look like they have it all together are often the last ones to realize they're struggling. The woman who can successfully manage everyone else's needs somehow can't crack the code on her own relationship with food. In this episode, I'm talking about why high-achieving women are often more vulnerable, not less, to struggles with food, body image, and disordered eating. We'll unpack how perfectionism, discipline, ambition, and the constant drive for "more" can fuel success in one area of life while quietly creating problems in another. Quotes "The same voice that says, 'It's not enough. Not yet. Keep going' at work and at home is the same voice that's running your relationship with food." "The same discipline that gets you promoted, that grows your business, that makes you the mom that you are, is the same discipline that you apply to eating." "The ability to push through discomfort, the ability to ignore what your body needs to keep moving—it's the same exact skill, it's just a different arena." "One of the worst things to say in this situation is, 'Try harder. Add more discipline.' That is actually gonna be terrible advice because you have the most discipline. You are trying the hardest." "The discomfort is something that we don't necessarily have to solve. It's something that we have to increase our tolerance for." "The woman who has it all together doesn't think she qualifies. So that thought, 'This isn't quite me,' is exactly what we've been describing." Frequently Asked Questions Why do successful women struggle with food? Many high-achieving women rely on discipline, perfectionism, and pushing through discomfort to succeed in their careers, relationships, and daily lives. Those same traits can also show up in their relationship with food, leading to rigid rules, constant self-monitoring, and feelings of never doing enough.   Can perfectionism cause disordered eating? Perfectionism doesn't directly cause disordered eating, but it is a common contributing factor. When self-worth becomes tied to performance, achievement, or getting things "right," food and body image can become another area where perfectionistic standards take hold.   Why can't I stop thinking about food, even though everything else in my life seems fine? Constant food thoughts are usually your body doing exactly what it's designed to do when it's not getting enough. Restriction, whether that's skipping meals, cutting carbs, or just eating less than your body needs, puts food preoccupation on autopilot. It's a survival response, not a personality problem. For some people there's also a psychological layer on top of that: perfectionism or self-criticism that shows up around food because it's an easy, measurable target. But the first question worth asking isn't "what's wrong with me," it's "am I actually eating enough."   What are the signs of disordered eating in high-functioning women? Common signs include obsessive thoughts about food, chronic dieting, guilt around eating, rigid food rules, body dissatisfaction, difficulty trusting hunger and fullness cues, and feeling like food takes up more mental space than it should—even while appearing successful and put-together on the outside.   Why doesn't more discipline fix my relationship with food? For many high-achieving women, discipline isn't the problem—it's often part of what keeps the struggle going. Adding more rules, restrictions, or self-control can reinforce the cycle rather than resolve it. Healing often requires greater flexibility, self-awareness, and emotional tolerance.   How are perfectionism and body image connected? Perfectionism creates an internal standard that is often impossible to meet. As a result, many women focus on perceived flaws instead of recognizing their strengths, leading to ongoing body dissatisfaction regardless of their actual appearance or accomplishments.   How do I stop feeling like I'm never enough? The honest answer is that you probably won't stop it by trying to fix the feeling directly. "Not enough" thinking usually isn't the problem itself, it's a symptom of something underneath it, often a story that got built early on about what you had to be or do in order to be loved or safe. Chasing the feeling away with more achievement or more self improvement just feeds the same system that created it. What actually shifts things is slowing down enough to ask where that voice came from and what it's protecting you from, instead of immediately trying to silence it or prove it wrong.

https://whatabouthomeschooling.com/the-mystery-of-history/ In episode 44 of Brave and Balanced Homeschool, the host reviews Mystery of History (Volume 1), explaining how the curriculum weaves biblical events together with ancient world history and why that perspective helps students see the Bible in historical context. The episode covers the curriculum’s format and updates — student readers, the downloadable companion guide, weekly lessons, activities for different ages, memory cards, a unique “wall of fame” timeline, and assessments — and recommends it for multi-grade, classical-minded homeschool families.

Week two of the Nations Championship delivered some incredible rugby, some average rugby, a few near-upsets, several glorious “could-have-beens,” and more than a handful of “why now?” and “why on earth are they playing there?” moments.The All Blacks kicked things off against Italy in a match we were desperately hoping would be the moment Dave Rennie's new team finally clicked. That may be a little demanding in only week two, but they certainly didn't click during a fairly shambolic opening 40 minutes.Things improved dramatically for about 15 minutes in the second half, when New Zealand suddenly piled on the points and eventually cruised to a 30-point victory. Will Jordan scored his 50th Test try, reaching the mark faster than any All Black before him, while Anton Segner made his long-awaited debut and Moby provided a tidy little cameo off the bench in his first Test as well.Australia then produced a genuinely excellent first half against France, followed by an absolute dog-shit second half against France. What began as a hugely encouraging performance became another deeply deflating evening for Wallabies supporters around the world.Ireland faced Japan in that famous fortress of Japanese rugby: Newcastle, Australia.Why Newcastle, Australia, you may ask? Excellent question. Apparently Ireland didn't fancy travelling to Japan, pushed their weight around and got their way. Japan made the match considerably tighter than expected, but Ireland eventually showed their class and pulled away.England absolutely pumped Fiji, while the game of the round may have come in South Africa, where Scotland the Brave were once again incredibly brave.The Springboks may not have fielded their absolute strongest side, but they were still expected to dominate. Instead, Scotland pushed them far closer than the final score suggests. With a little more clinical finishing, a bit more composure near the line and perhaps slightly more defence, this genuinely could have been the day Scotland finally won in the Republic.Sadly, it wasn't to be.This week's beers were kindly supplied by the great Andrew Stark from Tempo Rehab.

Mary Anning was a brave and curious girl who lived in the early 1800s in England. She loved to explore the rocky beaches near her home and search for fossils. Mary discovered amazing dinosaur bones, helping scientists learn about creatures that lived long ago.

Executive coach Pooja Venkatraman (Harvard College, Harvard MBA, ex-BCG, ex-Capital One) explains why burnout has almost nothing to do with how many hours you work, and everything to do with the mental soundtrack running while you work. She breaks down the two flavors of burnout high achievers miss, why "just quit" is bad advice, and the framework she uses to help Ivy League grads and operators get unstuck. For founders, VCs, and operators across Singapore, Indonesia, Vietnam, the Philippines, Thailand, and Malaysia, this is a candid look at building a career that feels as good on the inside as it looks on the outside: navigating career pivots, imposter syndrome, and high-pressure decisions without burning out. Pooja also shares her non-linear path from aspiring screenwriter to coach, and why every move was a hypothesis worth testing.

Why does something as simple as posting online, sending an email or sharing your work sometimes feel so much bigger than it should?In this solo episode, I'm sharing what I witnessed inside the first round of Brave, my two-week visibility experience, and the powerful pattern I noticed across more than 70 business owners.So many people arrived feeling like they were the problem. Like they were overthinking again, procrastinating again, getting in their own way again, or somehow failing at visibility because it didn't feel easy.But what if visibility feeling hard doesn't mean there's something wrong with you?In this episode, I talk about the mental load that can build around even the smallest visibility actions, why we so often turn that struggle into a personal failing. I share the two things I noticed that seemed to help people move from circling around the thing to finally taking action - and why one of them surprised me more than I expected.If you've ever had a post sitting in drafts, an email you keep putting off, an offer you haven't shared, or a story you know you want to tell but can't quite bring yourself to say out loud, this episode is for you.Because maybe the question isn't, “What's wrong with me?”Maybe there's a much more useful place to start.Listen to this episode if:You've ever felt like visibility should be easier than it is.You find yourself circling around simple actions for far longer than the action itself would take.You're tired of calling yourself inconsistent, flaky or your own worst enemy.You've been doing lots of inner work, but still feel stuck when it comes to showing up.You want a kinder, more useful way to understand why visibility can feel so exposing.Join the waitlist for Brave, my 2-week visibility experience grounded in Positive Psychology:Find out more about my Visibility Retreat in Sussex this September.

Truman's Rally and the Brave Dissent of Margaret Chase Smith GUEST: Nick Bunker In May 1950, a politically wounded Harry Truman embarked on a western tour to rebuild momentum and refocus the nation on his "Fair Deal." Despite a high-profile Chicago rally featuring stars like Elizabeth Taylor, his approval ratings continued to plummet amid the ongoing coal strike and corruption scandals in cities like New York. Within his own party, the "middle way" was failing to find traction. Amidst this polarization, Senator Margaret Chase Smith delivered her courageous "Declaration of Conscience" speech, calling out the Republican Party for using "fear, ignorance, bigotry, and smear" — her "Four Horsemen." She criticized both McCarthy's tactics and the Truman administration's perceived "bitterness" and lack of leadership. Though she was the first Republican to publicly challenge McCarthy, her message fell on "deaf ears" as the Senator's power grew. Only weeks later, the North Korean sneak attack on June 25 changed the world forever, ending the period of "shadow of fear" and beginning a hot war. (8)1952 STORK CLUB

Send us Fan MailAI is getting faster, cheaper, and easier to access, but that doesn't mean it's safe or ready to run your business unattended. We talk with Wilfred Morgan, an AI systems architect working at the front edge of enterprise AI automation and multi-agent orchestration, about what actually matters when you move beyond prototypes and put AI agents into production. If you've ever wondered why an AI rollout can look “successful” on a dashboard while quietly failing in the real world, this conversation is for you.We break down the jump from prompt-driven generative AI to agentic AI: systems that don't just write a good email, but can execute tasks, pull from multiple sources, and operate like structured digital workers. That power comes with a dependency most teams underestimate: context architecture. Clean data, clear processes, and well-curated knowledge artifacts become the fuel, and legacy data becomes drag. We also talk about the competitive reality that AI-native companies can build modern workflows from day one while larger organizations often wrestle with legacy systems, governance, and compliance overhead.Then we go straight at the risk side: subtle errors, misplaced trust, and why confidence can trick humans into believing incorrect outputs. Wilfred shares a practical evaluation-first mindset inspired by high-stakes domains like aviation and healthcare, plus a grounded checklist for small business owners using systems thinking to map the customer journey and decide where humans must stay in the loop.If this helped you think more clearly about AI automation, subscribe, share the episode with a friend, and leave a review so more builders and leaders can find it.Thanks for tuning in to this episode of Follow The Brand!

Andy McMahon, Principal AI Engineer at Barclays, shares how a 200-year-old bank is deploying autonomous agents inside one of the most heavily regulated environments in the world. He argues that observability and kill switches matter more than raw capability, and that the real test isn't whether the AI works in a demo, but whether it can fail safely in production. Key Takeaways How a major bank is giving AI agents real autonomy while keeping them bounded inside strict permission structures Why "could I build this" is the wrong question for engineers to ask Some of the current bottlenecks that slow down agentic payments Why most companies are racing to deploy agents without tracking what those agents actually do once they're live Guest Bio: Andy McMahon is Principal AI Engineer at Barclays, a guest lecturer at Oxford University, and author of the book "Machine Learning Engineering with Python." He trained as a theoretical physicist, but has spent his career making production AI systems that are safe, governed, and genuinely valuable in some of the most regulated and risk-controlled environments in the world. He has strong opinions about what AI engineering is, where it's going, and what separates the hype from the work that actually matters. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- About this Show: The Brave Technologist is here to shed light on the opportunities and challenges of emerging tech.

Today we're talking about the power of community, resilience, and what it really means to show up bravely in the caregiver parenting journey. My guest is fellow community builder and mom on a mission Jessica Patay, the founder of We Are Brave Together, a global community supporting moms raising children with disabilities and other unique needs. Jessica's work is deeply rooted in her own experience as a caregiving mom to her son Ryan, who was diagnosed with Prader-Willi syndrome, and her mission is all about making sure no parent has to walk this path alone. In our conversation, Jessica shares her story and the inspiration behind building such a powerful, life-giving community for mothers. We talk about the isolation so many caregivers experience, the importance of connection and support, and what it looks like to cultivate resilience in the midst of ongoing challenges. Jessica also offers practical, compassionate insights for parents who are feeling overwhelmed, reminding us that even in the hardest seasons, we are not alone—and we were never meant to do this by ourselves. About Jessica Patay  Jessica Patay is passionate about serving caregiving moms and creating authentic communities.  She has always fostered deep, life-giving friendships and has been intentional about her community of girlfriends.  As a caregiving mom herself, this passion carries on as she gathers women to encourage them, mentor them, inspire them, and validate their intense and precious journeys. Her own story as a mom to a child with a disability, began in 2003 when her second son, Ryan, was born and diagnosed with a rare, genetic disorder, called Prader-Willi syndrome. Within two days of receiving this diagnosis, she received a phone call from a mentor mom from the Prader-Willi California Foundation.  Immediately she felt relief and comfort knowing she was NOT ALONE. Thankfully, Ryan is sandwiched in the middle of siblings Luke and Kate, both fierce and loving cheerleaders and helpers to Ryan. Jessica is the founder of The We Are Brave Together organization, a supportive community for moms of children with disabilities and all unique needs, which has grown into an international community of over 4200 moms. She has helped launch over 25 support groups all over the United States, and in New Zealand and Australia, in the last five years. She is the host of the Brave Together Podcast. Things you'll learn from this episode  Why community is a critical foundation for healing, resilience, and feeling less alone as a caregiver How distinguishing between caregiving and motherhood can help parents better understand their experience How We Are Brave Together creates connection through circles, retreats, and shared storytelling Why bravery often shows up in small, everyday moments rather than big, visible acts How Jessica's work, including Suddenly Brave Together, reflects and validates the lived experience of caregivers Why systemic challenges can leave caregivers isolated—and how taking small, practical steps can help them find support now Resources mentioned  We Are Brave Together Brave Together Podcast Becoming Brave Together: Heroic, Extraordinary Caregiving Stories from Mothers Hidden in Plain Sight by Jessica Patay Suddenly Brave Together: Letters to Caregiving Moms in a Defining Moment of Their Lives by Jessica Patay We Are Brave Together Facebook Group Demystifying Disability: What to Know, What to Say, and How to be an Ally by Emily Ladau Emily Ladau on Demystifying Disability: What to Know, What to Say, and How to be an Ally (Tilt Parenting Podcast) Kelley Coleman on Everything No One Tells You About Parenting a Disabled Child (Tilt Parenting Podcast) Margaret Webb Parent Coaching Learn more about your ad choices.

On this episode we get into everything from the influence of American culture and the reality of algorithms to debates about hip-hop legends and R&B icons like Pretty Ricky and TLC. The team gets personal, sharing harrowing stories of close encounters with nature, including a terrifying wild boar incident in New Orleans—and dives into a heavy discussion on American history, the Revolutionary War, and the complex diaspora of the black experience. We've got that and much more...This is Views From The 7! 00:37 - The Most Influential Country? The debate kicks off with a look at whether America is truly the global leader in cultural influence, from trap music to "American gangs in Africa." 06:33 - Man vs. Nature: A series of wild stories about alligator attacks and bear encounters leads into a terrifying personal account of being chased by a wild boar in the New Orleans sticks. 18:41 - The "Booze Cruise" Incident: A breakdown of how a simple vacation boat trip turned into a survival situation and a life-changing lesson on local warnings. 32:05 - Pretty Ricky vs. The World: A passionate defense of Pretty Ricky's R&B dominance, including a debate on how they would fare against groups like TLC or New Edition. 44:48 - Lauryn Hill's Legacy: The group clashes over whether a "Lifetime Achievement Award" is deserved for an artist with only one solo studio album. 1:13:30 - The Complexity of History: A deep, serious dive into the Revolutionary War, the role of black soldiers, and the often-overlooked history of free black people in early America.

In this episode, I'm talking about why so many attempts to change your relationship with food seem to fizzle out, even when you're motivated and genuinely want things to be different. Because constantly starting over doesn't mean you're lazy, uncommitted, or missing some magical piece of information. We're digging into the deeper reasons certain behaviors stick around, what they may actually be doing for you, and why curiosity is often far more helpful than criticism.  This conversation goes beyond meal plans and motivation and gets into the questions that most people never think to ask. Quotes "We don't lead with the question, what do we do about this? We lead with the question, what is this actually all about? It's the question that changes everything when someone is really willing to look at it, because the answer is usually not what you think it is." "Most of us are so focused on fixing the behavior that we haven't stopped to ask what the behavior is doing." "The reason change feels so hard isn't because you're weak; it's because something would have to be given up if you changed. Meaning, if the behavior is protective in some way, shape, or form, it's providing something for you." "You don't need to know the answer yet. The key is starting to think about this and removing the blame that we're pointing at ourselves and starting to ask questions." "Sometimes this isn't something that you can do alone, and that's where you might need a real person like a therapist or a dietician. Sometimes we need people who can see the patterns that we're too close to see." Frequently Asked Questions Why do I keep failing when I try to change my eating habits? Repeatedly struggling with food does not necessarily mean you lack motivation or discipline. Many behaviors serve a purpose, and understanding what they are providing can help create lasting change.   Why do I sabotage myself around food? What feels like self-sabotage is often a protective pattern. Behaviors around food may be helping you cope with emotions, stress, shame, or fear, even when those behaviors are no longer serving you well.   Why is giving up dieting so scary? For many people, dieting feels tied to safety, control, belonging, or fear of weight gain. Letting go of those rules can bring up emotions and beliefs that deserve attention and support.   What does fear of weight gain really mean? Fear of weight gain often goes beyond the number on the scale. It can be connected to shame, past experiences, fears of rejection, or beliefs about worth and acceptance.   Why do I feel stuck between wanting recovery and wanting to stay the same? Feeling pulled in two directions is called ambivalence, and it is a normal part of recovery. Having conflicting feelings does not mean you're doing anything wrong.   Does structured eating help with disordered eating? Structured eating provides consistency and helps create a foundation for healing. Many people benefit from eating regularly throughout the day rather than relying on hunger cues alone in the early stages of recovery.   Do I need a therapist or a dietitian for eating disorder recovery? Support can be helpful when you're too close to your own patterns to see them clearly. A therapist or dietitian can help you understand what is driving your behaviors and provide practical tools for recovery. Resources Be sure to sign up for my weekly newsletter!

The moment you want to quit is often the moment you are about to grow. I'm sharing a simple phrase that has been sticking with me lately: stay brave. Not “be brave someday” or “become brave when things calm down” but stay brave right now, especially when you feel pulled back toward the familiar way of doing things because it feels safer.You'll also hear a practical way to handle rough days when a lesson bombs and students are checked out. Instead of spiralling, we try a “so what?” reframe and focus on what you can actually do next.

In this episode of The Brave Table, I sit down with Uma Ghosh, holistic beauty educator, founder of The Uma Show, and co-founder of Pro Age Aesthetics Academy, to unpack why beauty isn't something to fix, but something to embody.After building one of the Middle East's most successful television careers, burnout forced Uma to redefine everything she believed about beauty, success, and self-care. Today, she teaches women around the world how stress, emotional suppression, posture, and nervous system regulation impact the way we age, and why true beauty begins from within.Together, we explore the powerful connection between face yoga, gua sha, emotional healing, and aging with confidence instead of fear.WHAT YOU'LL GET OUT OF THIS EPISODE...- Why Uma has never chosen Botox, and why she believes informed choices matter- The surprising connection between your nervous system and the way your face ages- How chronic stress and suppressed emotions show up in your skin- Why burnout can accelerate aging more than time itself- The truth about face yoga, gua sha, facial massage, and lymphatic health- How posture, breathwork, and emotional regulation transform your appearance- Why beauty isn't about fixing yourself—it's about reconnecting with yourself- Small daily rituals that help you feel more grounded, present, and radiant- How to redefine beauty on your own terms—not society's- Why aging can become one of the most empowering seasons of your lifeCONNECT WITH UMA GHOSHInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/umaghoshYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheUmaShowFacial Gua Sha Ritual:https://theumashow.com/facial-gua-sha-ritualThe Uma Show:https://theumashow.comUma Ghosh is a holistic beauty educator, entrepreneur, founder of The Uma Show, and co- founder of Pro Age Aesthetics Academy.

Send us Fan MailAI is moving faster than most organizations can govern, and that gap is where the real danger lives. From Omaha, I sit down with Naresh Samlal, CEO of Cloud Source, to talk about the side of AI that rarely makes headlines: what happens when employees upload sensitive files into public AI tools, vendors promise the moon, and leadership is left trying to protect data they can no longer see.We break down why AI supercharges both innovation and cybersecurity risk, especially for regulated industries like healthcare, legal, and financial services. Naresh shares what he's seeing from customers who love the productivity boost but fear giving away their “data gold,” and we explore a different model: bringing AI to your data in a private cloud so it stays containerized, controlled, and governed. We also talk about why the market is shifting back toward privatizing data, how small language models fit into that trend, and what practical guardrails need to exist before you scale anything.Then we go one level deeper into agentic AI. Automation can look perfect on Monday and turn into a mess by Friday if you trust it blindly. Naresh lays out a simple governance reality check: if you can't shut it down in 60 seconds or less, you've got a governance problem. If you care about AI security, private cloud strategy, managed services, and protecting intellectual property while still moving fast, this conversation will sharpen how you think and how you lead.

Jennie Nash interviews author Meghan P. Browne about her journey from picture-book nonfiction to selling her first middle-grade novel, after participating in the 2022 Blueprint Challenge. Browne began the project in 2019, drafted it during her MFA at Vermont College of Fine Arts, then used the Blueprint framework to “reverse engineer” the manuscript and discover it lacked plot; the inside outline helped her connect scene events to emotional meaning. After tragedy and other commitments, she returned to revise intensively, resubmitted to her agent, and the novel later sold. Browne also describes submitting pages to the podcast's First Page Lab and learning to absorb both critical and positive feedback.

A new industry analysis examines where DC Studios goes from here after Supergirl's theatrical struggles, including fresh discussion about the long-rumored **Deathstroke/Bane movie** as one of the projects that could still be on the horizon.

The Catiline Conspiracy and the Perils of Invincibility. Guest Author: Josiah Osgood. The rivalry between Cicero and Catiline represented a clash between a "new man" and an established aristocrat. Catiline was a brave soldier from an ancient family who felt humiliated after losing the consular election to the newcomer Cicero. As the economic situation in Italy worsened due to a credit crisis, Catiline adopted a populist platform, calling for debt reform and the cancellation of loans. Cicero, who was aligned with the financial elite of Rome, viewed Catiline's plans as a threat to the republic's stability. When Catiline lost a subsequent race, he became desperate and organized a group of fashionable young men to support a conspiracy. Cicero used an extensive network of spies to monitor these developments, fueled by his own justified paranoia. He eventually denounced Catiline in the Senate, leading to a showdown where Catiline fled to lead an army. Although Catiline died in battle, the fallout from the conspiracy would eventually lead to Cicero's greatest political crisis. Cicero believed this moment was his peak, marking his place in history as the savior of the republic. 4CARTHAGE
