The conversation explores how leaders can help their teams avoid constant distractions, hyperconnectivity, and superficial busyness. Shawn highlights how shifting from an action-oriented mindset to an impact-oriented approach creates room for meaningful focus in both corporate and Church settings. 00:03:42 – The Moment of Inspiration for Writing the Book 00:04:52 – Chaos and Lack of Clarity in Leadership 00:06:46 – Research on Focus and Distraction 00:08:31 – The Impact of Hyper-Connectivity on Leadership 00:10:13 – Challenges Faced by Church Leaders 00:12:10 – The Default of Hyper-Connected Communication 00:13:07 – Advice for Leaders in the Whirlwind 00:14:26 – Assumptions About Work and Meetings 00:15:27 – Bias Towards Action vs. Bias Towards Impact 00:18:57 – Clarity in Leadership and Prioritization 00:20:30 – The Importance of Focus in Leadership 00:22:25 – Creating a Culture of Open Communication 00:23:43 – Delegation and Respecting Time 00:25:35 – Counseling Before Extending Callings 00:30:25 – Tuning In Before Jumping In 00:32:20 – The Role of Revelation in Leadership Decisions 00:37:54 – Respecting Individual Circumstances in Callings Key Insights Action vs. Impact: A bias toward action often causes frantic busyness and shifting priorities, whereas a bias toward impact prioritizes high-value outcomes and clear goals. Clarify Priorities: The primary source of distraction for most teams is a lack of clear priorities. Focusing on a few core objectives reduces burnout and improves execution. Counseling Before Calling: Extending callings or tasks effectively requires counseling with individuals beforehand to understand their current capacity and life constraints. Holding a Clearing: Creating structured systems where individuals can express emotional or interpersonal frustrations removes distractions and clears the mental runway for high-level work. Establishing “House Rules”: Leaders must set explicit expectations around communication and meetings to prevent hyperconnectivity from overwhelming team members. Put Growth on the Agenda: Dedicating regular time in one-on-one meetings to align an individual’s personal development with organizational needs builds long-term commitment. Leadership Applications Define What Not to Do: When focusing a ward or organization on specific spiritual goals, leaders should explicitly set aside lower-priority initiatives so members can direct their energy effectively. Tune In Before Jumping In: Instead of utilizing “drive-by delegation” or abrupt task handoffs, leaders should ask what someone is currently managing and discuss what can be removed from their plate to accommodate new assignments. Set Clear Communication Boundaries: Bishoprics and council leaders can establish ward “house rules” regarding text messaging, response times, and off-hours communication to protect personal lives and prevent burnout.

For decades, Americans have debated what kind of relationship there should be, if any, between religious institutions and public schools. Can schools honor the diverse religious beliefs of a student body without prioritizing one tradition? If religious institutions can use their resources to bolster public schools, should they? In today's conversation, we're joined by Bryant Jensen of Brigham Young University and Irvin Scott of the Harvard Graduate School of Education. They've coauthored a report, which argues that partnerships with faith communities can enrich student learning opportunities, especially for those in disadvantaged communities. They advocate for a "third way” that avoids the two extremes of endorsing religion in schools, on one end, or entirely excluding it from the work of schools, on the other. In this episode, we'll delve into what this "third way" relationship between faith institutions and public schools could look like, and what benefits it could bring to students, educators, and faith leaders.   Read the report here: https://wheatley.byu.edu/0000019c-fd37-d3b9-a1dc-ffffc6470000/faith-in-educational-renewal-religion-as-a-resource-to-transform-learning-opportunities

Power is part of every relationship, but after betrayal, it moves to the center of the healing process. In this episode, we explore how secrecy, manipulation, and deception create a painful power imbalance, why betrayed partners naturally need to reclaim their power, and why that step is both healthy and necessary. We also discuss the delicate transition from restoring power to sharing it again. While recovering partners don't get to decide when that shift happens, lasting healing eventually requires both partners to move toward a relationship built on mutual dignity, safety, and shared partnership. __________________________________ Take the Free Assessment: I created a short self-assessment to help you pinpoint exactly where you are in your healing right now, and what to focus on next.

They share insights gained from interviewing dozens of former players, staff, and loved ones of the legendary Brigham Young University (BYU) football coach. The conversation centers on Edwards’ unique, Christlike approach to leadership, relationship-building, delegation, and personal mentorship. Key Insights Delegation and Empowerment: LaVell Edwards believed in hiring capable experts, trusting them completely, and giving them the autonomy to execute their roles without micromanagement. One-on-One Relationships: Rather than focusing purely on football tactics, LaVell maintained an open-door policy and prioritized checking in on his players’ personal lives, families, and future goals. Seeing Unseen Potential: LaVell possessed a unique ability to identify hidden talents in individuals—often encouraging position changes, urging players to serve missions, or convincing them to stay when they wanted to quit. Lifting the Lost and Struggling: He repeatedly reached out to lower-string players or individuals in crisis, offering unwavering support, loyalty, and personal investment during their hardest moments. Innovation and Vision: Recognizing systemic limitations, LaVell embraced innovative approaches—such as pioneering a high-powered passing offense—to elevate his program to national prominence. Leadership Applications Empower Ward and Organizational Leaders: Latter-day Saint leaders can emulate LaVell Edwards by delegating real authority to presidency members, committee leaders, and council members rather than attempting to manage every operational detail. Prioritize Personal Ministering: Leaders should create accessible, low-pressure environments (such as open-door settings or informal check-ins) to focus on individual souls rather than just administrative tasks. Instill Belief in Others: Leaders can actively express confidence in those they serve, helping individuals recognize their divine potential and encouraging them toward transformative choices like missionary or church service. 00:03:12 – Origins of the Book Project 00:04:45 – The Impact of LaVell Edwards 00:06:21 – LaVell’s Influence Beyond Football 00:07:13 – The Personal Touch of LaVell Edwards 00:08:37 – LaVell’s Unique Leadership Style 00:10:15 – LaVell’s Unexpected Journey to BYU 00:12:06 – LaVell’s Vision and Innovation 00:13:09 – The Last Moments with LaVell 00:14:06 – Mentorship in LaVell’s Life 00:15:33 – LaVell’s Leadership Style in the Church 00:17:27 – Balancing Authority and Delegation 00:19:40 – Creating a Culture of Trust 00:20:49 – One-on-One Relationships with Players 00:22:49 – LaVell’s Home as a Safe Space 00:24:53 – The Importance of Team Prayer 00:26:34 – Common Themes from Player Interviews 00:29:03 – Humility as a Key Principle 00:30:38 – LaVell’s Care for All Players 00:32:25 – Encouraging Players to Stay 00:34:00 – Promoting Missionary Service 00:42:12 – Conclusion and Legacy of LaVell Edwards The award-winning Leading Saints Podcast is one of the top independent Latter-day Saints podcasts as part of nonprofit Leading Saints’ mission to help Latter-day Saints be better prepared to lead.

President Dallin H. Oaks, President of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, has taught that the doctrine of the Church centers on the family. But marriages and birthrates are declining in places around the world — and so is dating.  The National Dating Landscape Survey, published earlier this year, looked at the opportunities and challenges of dating across the United States. Researchers found that young adults want serious relationships but are experiencing a dating recession, with only about 1 in 3 young adults actively dating. Jason S. Carroll, the Family Initiative director at the Wheatley Institute at Brigham Young University and a marriage preparation teacher for 20 years, joins Church News reporter Mary Richards to talk about the patterns found in this research and what the positive outliers can teach about creating a better dating and marriage culture. The Church News Podcast is a weekly podcast that invites listeners to make a journey of connection with members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints across the globe. Hosts Jon Ryan Jensen, editor of the Church News, and Church News reporter Mary Richards share unique views of the stories, events, and people who form this international faith. With each episode, listeners are asked to embark on a journey to learn from one another and ponder, “What do I know now?” because of the experience. Produced by Rex Warner and Ellie Lewis.

In this episode of Conversations with Interpreter, we interview ‘Alisi K. Langi, an assistant professor in faculty of Ancient Scripture at Brigham University-Hawaii, looking at her paper “Throwing Greater Views Upon Jesus Christ and His Gospel Through Named & Unnamed Women in the Small Plates of Nephi.” Doctor Langi's paper looks at how women are presented in the small plates (1 Nephi through Omni) and especially what it can teach us about Jesus Christ. In this interview, Langi points out that because so few women are mentioned in the small plates, it can be easy to think that they are unimportant to the narrative or among the Nephites, but nothing could be further from the truth. In fact, as Dr. Langi shows nothing could be further from the truth. The paper under discussion here was written for a conference held at Brigham Young University in Provo. The post Conversations with Interpreter: ‘Alisi K. Langi: Named and Unnamed Women in the Small Plates first appeared on The Interpreter Foundation.

We had the wonderful opportunity to discuss Marilynne Robinson's Housekeeping with George Handley and to marvel all over again at the astonishing beauty of Robinson's prose. Our guest, George Handley, is a professor of humanities at Brigham Young University whose work explores the intersections of literature, religion, and the natural world. A scholar of Marilynne Robinson's writing, he has published on Housekeeping and has interviewed Robinson about her work. Set in the fictional town of Fingerbone in northern Idaho, Housekeeping follows sisters Ruth and Lucille, who, after a series of losses, are eventually left in the care of their unconventional aunt Sylvie. As the girls grow, they begin to respond very differently to Sylvie's transient way of living and to the question of what it means to belong somewhere at all. We weren't always in agreement about whether Ruth ultimately finds the ending, or the life, she is best suited for. But we did agree that the depth and richness of Housekeeping reward discussion, contemplation, and certainly more than one reading. Our conversation kept returning to the idea of home: home as a place, home as the people who hold us, and home as something we inhabit within ourselves. We talked about "housekeeping" as more than the tending of a physical space. It can also be a metaphor for remaining housed within our own minds and bodies, and for what it might mean to become, in some sense, an unhoused soul. Finally, we considered Robinson's larger spiritual vision: that whatever our mortal state, whatever has been lost, broken, displaced, or left incomplete, there is the promise of a grand completion in the Resurrection. It was a beautiful conversation about a book that somehow becomes larger every time we return to it. If you've read Housekeeping, we hope you'll join us. And if you haven't, perhaps this is your invitation. For additional reading by George Handley, look here

The rise, death, and return of in-store retail media as lived by Mike Hiatt.Around 2010, the in-store retail media screens inside Walmart's stores were bringing in more revenue than Walmart.com. By 2015 the network was gone. Mike Hiatt, Founder & President of Dynamic Retailing, built it. He came to Bentonville to take over Walmart TV, which at the time meant 27-inch screens bolted up in the rafters playing audio that fought with Walmart Radio and lost. He rebuilt it as the Smart Network: eye-level screens, category channels, and five media endcaps that sold out every time they went to market. At its peak it had the reach of a Super Bowl each week. It was a retail media network before the industry coined the phrase. Then it came apart. Marketing owned the network, merchants owned the space, and nobody had built a way to cut the merchants in. Walmart pulled it out around 2015. Ricardo Belmar and Casey Golden get Mike to walk through what really happened, why in-store retail media is working now when it stalled then, and what his book Timing the Desert says about being right too early. Ricardo spent that same era at Hughes delivering managed digital signage to retailers, so this one gets personal and specific fast.This is a story of what was, what could have been, and the lessons every retail media network leader today should learn from the original in-store media network.In This Episode, You'll Learn·       Why a retail media network inside Walmart's stores out-earned Walmart.com and still got deinstalled·       How the fight over trade funds, national ad dollars, and shopper marketing budgets stalled in-store retail media for a decade, and what Amazon did to end it·       Why DSIQ, an ex-Microsoft team out of Seattle, built an ad server for store screens before the industry had the term, and why the company never scaled past Walmart·       The difference between a salesperson and a business development person, and why sending the wrong one into a retailer kills the deal·       Mike's five A's of in-store content: accessible, appropriate, adaptable, attractive, assembled·       Why he argues for localization over personalization, and what it means to treat 2,000 stores as 2,000 super customers·       Who he thinks reaches the in-store retail media cereal moment first·       Why in-store retail media will never be as lucrative as online, and why every retail media network is heading there anywaySupport our sponsors.This Episode is Brought to You By RetailClub.From the founders of Shoptalk and Groceryshop, RetailClub AI Festival brings together 2,000 industry leaders from September 22 to 24 for three days fully outdoors in Huntington Beach focused entirely on how AI is transforming retail.

After betrayal, couples are often told they just need to communicate better. But what if communication isn't actually the problem? In this episode, we challenge one of the most common pieces of relationship advice and explore why communication techniques often fail in the early stages of betrayal recovery. We discuss why a betrayed partner's distress is already communicating something important, why recovering partners must learn to respond to the pain beneath the words, and why genuine safety, not better communication skills, is what creates lasting connection. The truth is, good communication isn't where healing starts. It's what naturally grows when honesty, accountability, and emotional safety are restored. __________________________________ Take the Free Assessment: I created a short self-assessment to help you pinpoint exactly where you are in your healing right now, and what to focus on next.

Good Day and welcome to IAQ Radio+ episode 785 this week we continue with Part 2 of our interview with Dr. Gene Cole a public health and infection control titan. Dr. Eugene “Gene” Cole, DrPH, bridges the gap between deep, academic public health research and the boots-on-the-ground cleaning and restoration industries. Dr. Cole has spent over 35 years showing why cleaning is an essential branch of public health. Learn More this week on IAQ Radio+.   Dr. Gene Cole is Director of Research for LRC Indoor Testing & Research, Cary, NC; and formerly Professor of Environmental Health Sciences at Brigham Young University, Provo, UT. He has 35 years of research experience, with a primary focus on the ecology of indoor and work environments, with special emphasis on identification and reduction of pollutant reservoirs and sources, bioaerosols, human exposure assessment and control, product evaluation, cleaning and restoration, mold and sewage remediation, and biocides.   Since 2000, he has continued to conduct research on the relationship between the use of antibacterial cleaning and hygiene products in the home, and antibiotic resistance; as well as on the effectiveness of cleaning to reduce the transmission of disease agents in schools. He has also worked with national and international organizations to address environmental health and infectious disease concerns such as medical waste management in Central Europe and South East Asia, hygiene promotion in Africa, and healthy homes and buildings in the U.S. and Asia. Dr. Cole is a member of the Scientific Advisory Council of the Cleaning Industry Research Institute (CIRI), and a Fellow of the American Industrial Hygiene Association. He holds a Master of Science in Public Health Microbiology and a Doctor of Public Health in Biohazard Science and Occupational Health, both from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

Most business owners think their exit value will come down to EBITDA and an industry multiple. But buyers are not only evaluating what the company earns; they are deciding how much risk they would inherit.  That risk can show up in customer concentration, weak financial reporting, founder dependence, an incomplete leadership team, or a business that has not been prepared to operate without its owner.  In this episode of Money School Elite, I sit down with Mike Bennett, founder of Crewe Capital, to examine what sophisticated buyers actually look for and why strong exits often take years to build.  We also explore why a business does not have one fixed value, how multiple indications of interest can create competitive tension, and why the right buyer may see strategic value that another completely misses.  What You'll Discover In This Episode    Why buyers price a business according to risk, not the effort it took to build The operational weaknesses that can quietly reduce your exit valuation Why founder dependence can make an otherwise profitable company harder to sell How tracking the right KPIs helps you understand whether your business is truly ready for market Why speaking to one buyer can leave significant value on the table How multiple indications of interest reveal what the market actually believes your company is worth Why the highest-value buyer may come from outside the traditional private equity landscape   About the Guest Mike Bennett is the Managing Partner of Crewe Capital. Mr. Bennett held senior positions with three different investment banking firms before this. Mr. Bennett provides capital solutions to middle-market companies and alternative investment advisory to institutional clients. Mr. Bennett has completed over 100 investment banking transactions. Expertise includes mergers, acquisitions, corporate finance, strategic advisory, fundraising, and direct investment in real estate, private equity, and private credit. Mr. Bennett sits on multiple boards and is actively involved in his community by participating in various organizations with a charitable focus.

For nearly **24 years**, I worked for **Brigham Young University** and, by extension, **The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints**.Most of that time was spent at **BYU Independent Study**, one of the largest accredited distance-learning programs in the United States. Looking back, I witnessed both dedicated employees doing their best and institutional problems that should have been addressed years earlier.In this episode, I share my personal experiences working inside BYU, including:* Why most Independent Study instructors were never background checked for decades* How widespread student identity verification problems fueled cheating* Why accreditation concerns eventually forced major changes* What it was really like teaching music remotely before online learning became mainstream* Why I was unexpectedly let go after nearly 24 years of employment* The reality of BYU's extremely low adjunct pay, lack of benefits, and expectations of institutional sacrifice* How ecclesiastical endorsements affected employees who privately lost their faith* My reaction to learning about the Church's vast investment reserves after years of being told to sacrifice financiallyThis isn't an attack on the many wonderful people I worked with. I met countless dedicated coworkers who genuinely cared about students.My criticism is directed toward institutional policies, leadership decisions, and a culture that too often expected employees to sacrifice while offering little in return.If you enjoy thoughtful conversations about Mormonism, BYU, Church history, and current LDS news, consider subscribing to **Mormon News Roundup**.I aim to present evidence, personal experience, and informed commentary while encouraging respectful discussion—even when the topics are controversial.#BYU #Mormon #LDS #ExMormon #IndependentStudy #ChurchNews #MormonNewsRoundup #Religion #HigherEducation #ChurchHistory #Utah #FaithJourney #AcademicIntegrity #College #EducationPlease consider making a donation by joining our Patreon https://www.patreon.com/MormonNewsRoundup Email: kolob@mormonnewsroundup.org Website: https://mormonnewsroundup.org/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@mormonnewsroundup Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mormon_news_roundup/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100093511869924 X: https://twitter.com/NewsMormon New episodes LIVE every Sunday and Monday nights at 9:30PM ESTPlease like and subscribe and hit the notifications bell.

Brent Top, author, educator, and former mission president, joins me this week to talk about his deeply personal book, When You Can't Do It Alone: Take the Savior's Hand. I wanted to chat with him about his candid journey navigating severe anxiety, depression, and panic attacks while serving in church leadership roles, and how those trials reshaped his understanding of grace, vulnerability, and the enabling power of Jesus Christ.We explore breaking cultural stigmas surrounding mental health within faith communities, the dangers of perfectionism, what it truly means to allow the Saviour's Atonement to heal us daily beyond checklist discipleship, and how a transformative encounter with Elder Dieter F. Uchtdorf taught Brent the life-changing power of extending mercy.Highlights from this episode include:Vulnerability as Strength: Brent discusses why sharing our mortal weaknesses creates authentic connections, drawing on Elder Neal A. Maxwell's insight that trials allow us to testify of the Savior with genuine authenticity.The True Meaning of Succour: A look at the linguistic roots of "succour" as running alongside someone to cheer them on, illustrated through a vivid mountain bike race metaphor.Breaking the Mental Health Stigma: Reflecting on the turning point of Elder Jeffrey R. Holland's open discussions on mental health and how it gave members permission to seek help without shame or guilt.Presidency and Panic Attacks: Brent opens up about the overwhelming weight of perfectionism during his time as a mission president in Illinois, the onset of severe panic attacks, and how medication, counseling, and spiritual refocusing helped him through.Five Practical Principles for Relief: A breakdown of key daily practices from Brent's book: thinking on Christ, thanking Him, serving Him, and holding fast to His promises."Allowing" the Atonement: Moving away from a mechanical approach to grace and exploring what Peter walking on the water teaches us about reaching out, getting out of the boat, and allowing the Saviour to lift us.Extending Mercy in the Temple: The powerful moment in the Winter Quarters Temple with Elder Dieter F. Uchtdorf that transformed Brent's leadership approach and taught him the life-changing impact of extending mercy to others.About Brent L. TopBrent L. Top is an author, professor, and religious educator. He served as the Dean of Religious Education at Brigham Young University, where he taught for many years.

We discuss what patriarchy is, and how it originated and spread across the globe. We talk about the role of religion and capitalism. We discuss how patriarchy also affects men, and the rise and spread of the manosphere. Finally, we talk about whether men can be feminists themselves, and how to reconcile the genders.--A HUGE THANK YOU TO MY PATRONS/SUPPORTERS: PER HELGE LARSEN, BERNARDO SEIXAS, ADAM KESSEL, MATTHEW WHITINGBIRD, ARNAUD WOLFF, TIM HOLLOSY, HENRIK AHLENIUS, ROBERT WINDHAGER, RUI INACIO, ZOOP, MARCO NEVES, COLIN HOLBROOK, PHIL KAVANAGH, SAMUEL ANDREEFF, FRANCIS FORDE, TIAGO NUNES, FERGAL CUSSEN, HAL HERZOG, NUNO MACHADO, JONATHAN LEIBRANT, JOÃO LINHARES, STANTON T, SAMUEL CORREA, ERIK HAINES, MARK SMITH, JOÃO EIRA, TOM HUMMEL, SARDUS FRANCE, DAVID SLOAN WILSON, YACILA DEZA-ARAUJO, ROMAIN ROCH, YANICK PUNTER, CHARLOTTE BLEASE, NICOLE BARBARO, PAWEL OSTASZEWSKI, NELLEKE BAK, GUY MADISON, GARY G HELLMANN, SAIMA AFZAL, ADRIAN JAEGGI, JOÃO BARBOSA, JULIAN PRICE, HEDIN BRØNNER, FRANCA BORTOLOTTI, URSULA LITZCKE, SCOTT, ZACHARY FISH, TIM DUFFY, SUNNY SMITH, JON WISMAN, WILLIAM BUCKNER, LUKE GLOWACKI, GEORGIOS THEOPHANOUS, CHRIS WILLIAMSON, PETER WOLOSZYN, DAVID WILLIAMS, DIOGO COSTA, ALEX CHAU, CORALIE CHEVALLIER, BANGALORE ATHEISTS, LARRY D.

After betrayal, one question seems to take center stage: Why? Why did this happen? Why didn't you stop? Why didn't you tell me? In this episode, we explore why this question is so difficult to answer, and why even honest attempts at answering those questions often leave both partners feeling frustrated. We discuss what betrayed partners are really searching for when they ask "why," why recovering partners rarely have a satisfying answer early in recovery, and how truth, curiosity, and a willingness to understand can create far more healing than quick explanations ever could. Ultimately, this conversation is about shifting the focus from finding the perfect answer to building a process that restores reality, deepens understanding, and creates genuine safety over time. __________________________________ Take the Free Assessment: I created a short self-assessment to help you pinpoint exactly where you are in your healing right now, and what to focus on next.

DJ & PK debated how long BYU football coach Kalani Sitake will stay at Brigham Young University and if the current situation could make him want to look for an exit.

Brigham Young University is owned and operated by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. I earned two degrees from BYU and spent nearly 24 years working for the Church, so my perspective comes from firsthand experience.Over the years, I've developed a number of critiques of BYU, including what I believe have been its racist, sexist, and homophobic policies at various points in its history. At the same time, I've invested considerable time in understanding the university firsthand. I've taken the official campus tour, interviewed the university president, spoken with numerous faculty members, and sat down with both the football and basketball coaches.This video is a supercut of my BYU-related content, bringing together commentary, critiques, observations, and YouTube Shorts in one place. Whether you're a current student, alumnus, prospective student, believing Latter-day Saint, former member, or simply interested in the history and culture of BYU, I hope this compilation provides context for why I hold the views that I do.The goal isn't to attack individuals—it's to examine the institution, its history, its policies, and its influence through the lens of someone who knows it from the inside.I'd love to hear your own experiences with BYU in the comments.

This episode is number two in a two part series of interviews with Jennifer C. Lane. The first discussed her work on redemption and the life of Abraham, while this episode focuses on exploring the idea of redemption in the Small Plates of Nephi. Dr. Lane in particular connects the teachings about Christ with the Old Testament notion of the kinsman-redeemer. The authors of this part of the Book of Mormon frame redemption in its connection to covenant and the covenant relationship we build with Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ. This episode discusses Dr. Lane's paper “Knowing Our Redeemer: Christ as Kinsman-Redeemer in the Small Plates,” presented as a keynote at the 2026 Small Plates of Nephi Conference held on May 29-30th at Brigham Young University in Provo, UT. The post Conversations with Interpreter: Jennifer Lane — Part 2: Jesus as Kinsman–Redeemer in the Small Plates first appeared on The Interpreter Foundation.

Bronson spent 7 years in the NFL as a W-2 employee, got crushed on taxes his first year sitting in muni bonds at 3%, and decided to spend the rest of his career learning exactly how family offices and top operators structure their wealth. Now he's the one opening those doors for other athletes.In this episode, Bronson breaks down the exact mindset rituals he used to stay present during competition - writing 2-3 actionable words before every practice, staying out of fear (which lives in the future) and regret (which lives in the past). He shares the story of his father coming from Tonga at 8 years old with cardboard in the bottom of his shoes, and how remembering that story keeps him grounded, hungry, and humble. Family Office Club has connected capital raisers and family offices at 300+ events over 19 years - athletes like Bronson are exactly who this community was built for.What is the most costly financial mistake athletes make after signing their second contract?

In this episode of Occupied Thoughts, FMEP Fellow Ahmed Moor speaks with Hani Almadhoun, Vice President of Philanthropy at UNRWA USA and co-founder of Gaza Soup Kitchen, an initiative that Hani and his family in Gaza started to feed people in Gaza during the Israeli genocide. Hani and Ahmed speak about Hani's family in Gaza and the work of the Gaza Soup Kitchen from its founding until today. They discuss the mission and work of UNRWA and the role that UNRWA USA plays in supporting it. And they talk about accountability, justice, and ways forward.  Hani Almadhoun is the Vice President of Philanthropy at UNRWA USA and co-founder of Gaza Soup Kitchen. Born in the Emirates, Hani's family fled to the Gaza Strip in the aftermath of the first Gulf War. It was tough adjusting to the harsh conditions in Gaza during the First Intifada, but his family was made whole again when his dad got a job at an UNRWA school teaching English to refugees. A child of an educator, Hani was raised with the mantra of school being the top priority, and in this pursuit, he eventually found his way to the United States, thanks to a university scholarship from the LDS Church. After earning both his Masters in Public Administration and his BA in International Studies and Latin American studies from Brigham Young University, Hani settled in Washington, DC where he fell into the world of fundraising for various causes that spoke to him, including civil rights and social justice groups for Muslim and Arab Americans and charities that serve the Palestinian people and other marginalized communities in the Middle East. Ahmed Moor is a Palestinian-American writer born in Gaza and a Fellow at FMEP. He is an advisory board member of the US Campaign for Palestinian rights, co-editor of After Zionism (Saqi Books) and is currently writing a book about Palestine. He also currently serves on the board of the Independence Media Foundation. His work has been published in The Guardian, The London Review of Books, The Nation, and elsewhere. He earned a BA at the University of Pennsylvania and an MPP at Harvard University. You can follow Ahmed on Substack at: https://ahmedmoor.substack.com and on X at @AhmedMoor.

Clay interviews Dr. Ben Abbott of Brigham Young University about the crisis of Great Salt Lake. Great Salt Lake is a terminal lake, which means that water comes in but does not flow out. It's a remnant of ancient Lake Bonneville. The volume of the lake is now down by 70% and the surface area it covers is down 60%. Abbott believes we are not more than half a dozen years from the lake's ecological collapse, which would severely damage the brine shrimp industry, expose a large number of toxic chemicals to the Utah winds with devastating effects on human health, and severely impair Utah's important winter ski industry. The good news is that Dr. Abbott believes we can solve this problem and that the people of Utah are sufficiently aware of the crisis to make the lifestyle changes (none dire) that will save and refresh the lake. Ben Abbott says a U.N. agency has recently declared a Global Water Bankruptcy, but that saving Great Salt Lake can serve as a template for a much wider set of water-use reforms in the United States and beyond. This episode was recorded on July 23, 2026.

Relational Leadership: Leadership is fundamentally relational; outstanding leaders are not necessarily the most technically skilled but excel in building relationships and fostering a sense of belonging. Cognitive Dynamics: The brain’s analytical and empathetic networks are antagonistic; leaders must be aware of emotional climates to encourage creativity and openness rather than stress and defensiveness. Charisma vs. Competence: Charismatic leaders can inspire hope, but relying solely on charisma can lead to overlooking effective leadership qualities that are not immediately visible. Leadership Applications Storytelling: Latter-day Saint leaders can use personal stories to illustrate the impact of ministering, helping members connect emotionally and understand the importance of their roles in the community. Cultural Focus: By emphasizing a culture of belonging and support, leaders can motivate members to engage in ministering efforts naturally, rather than through pressure or performance metrics. Awareness of Bias: Leaders should recognize their biases when selecting individuals for leadership roles, ensuring that they look beyond charisma and traditional expectations to identify those who truly embody the principles of effective leadership.

What happens when you feel like you're the only one doing the work? Whether you're the betrayed partner desperately searching for answers or the recovering partner trying to rebuild trust while your spouse seems disengaged, this imbalance can feel lonely and discouraging. In this episode, we explore why different levels of engagement are common during recovery, what can be happening beneath a partner's apparent lack of motivation, and why doing your own work still matters, even when your partner isn't fully participating. We also discuss why one person can make meaningful personal progress, but one person cannot rebuild a marriage alone. Lasting healing requires both partners to engage, even if they aren't perfectly synchronized. Relationship recovery does require that both people move forward, even if they're at different paces. __________________________________ Take the Free Assessment: I created a short self-assessment to help you pinpoint exactly where you are in your healing right now, and what to focus on next.

The War in Iran is being blamed -- at least in part -- for a slowing U.S. economy. This morning, new data released from the Feds show that the economy slowed more than expected due to the war and stubborn inflation. We've talked a lot about the roller coaster of gas and oil prices, but is there more to the story? Professor Jason Kotter, Assistant Professor of Finance at the Marriott School of Business at Brigham Young University shares his insights. At the same time attacks on Iran are ramping up, President Trump is voicing frustration with the way Israeli leadership are handling the conflict. We hear some of an exclusive interview from ABC News, and then the hosts discuss.

Wild Utah Weather: Lightning strikes truck in Southern Utah Imagine this: you're driving down the highway and then *BAM* ... you've been hit by lightning. A man driving on I-15 outside of Cedar City found himself in this exact situation yesterday. He was driving on the freeway minding his own business when suddenly, his truck got hit with a bolt of lightning. When all was said and done, the truck was a total loss. The whole front part of the truck -- everything but the bed -- was burned or melted. Greg and Jim pose the question: if you only have 10 seconds to get out of your car, what would you grab?    - Utah Heat: Is this the warmest summer on record? Get ready for more triple-digit heat. Only the upper 90s today, but more potentially record-breaking highs are on deck for this weekend. And with those highs, many have asked the question: are our summers actually getting hotter? Or is this year more of a fluke? KSL Meteorologist Matt Johnson joins with some answers.    - War in Iran: New data on economic effects, Israel PM not backing down The War in Iran is being blamed -- at least in part -- for a slowing U.S. economy. This morning, new data released from the Feds show that the economy slowed more than expected due to the war and stubborn inflation. We've talked a lot about the roller coaster of gas and oil prices, but is there more to the story? Professor Jason Kotter, Assistant Professor of Finance at the Marriott School of Business at Brigham Young University shares his insights. At the same time attacks on Iran are ramping up, President Trump is voicing frustration with the way Israeli leadership are handling the conflict. We hear some of an exclusive interview from ABC News, and then the hosts discuss.    - Privacy vs. Safety: Flock cameras and automated license plate readers As technology expands and improves, it brings up a really interesting discussion on safety versus privacy. Right now, leaders in Salt Lake City are trying to decide how to best use automatic license plate readers -- trying to balance privacy and safety. And across the country, Americans from all walks of life are pushing back on this expansion of private "Flock" cameras, saying it's moving us closer and closer to being a surveillance state. What do you think?    - Emergency response aircraft coming soon to a sky near you The future is here, and it could mean the difference between life and death, especially in rural parts of the state. A new electric aircraft would provide speedy emergency response and it could be in the air before you know it. Rather than drones delivering packages and such, this kind of aircraft would help get first responders to the scene or rural or hard-to-reach emergencies. Greg volunteers on a local ski patrol and shares his thoughts on how this could help in a plethora of situations.    - Kouri Richins' motion to remove judge in new trial denied Even after being convicted of killing her husband and sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole, Kouri Richins isn’t giving up. She and her legal team are trying to get a whole new trial, claiming that the judge who oversaw the original case wasn’t fair and came off as “hostile” to their side. Another judge denied that motion last night. KSL Legal Analyst Greg Skordas explains the development and the future of all the appeals.    - First feature film made using AI coming to theaters this fall So-called AI "slop"... coming soon to a cinema near you?? The country's first AI-generated film is set to debut on the silver screen this fall. Now it's not fully artificial intelligence -- there are real people involved as well. But this movie does rely heavily on AI for special effects and other visuals. This segment, we have a conversation about what this could mean for the movie industry overall; KSL Movie Show host Andy Farnsworth joins in.    - Poll: Majority of Utahns willing to pay higher energy costs if it promotes clean energy Would you be willing to pay more for your electricity if you knew it was coming from clean energy sources? A new poll from Utah State University says more than half of Utahns are willing to pay more on their power bills if it means supporting clean energy. Greg and Jim see both benefits and flaws to this idea; listen in for more details.    - Lame-duck Senators stand in way of Attorney General confirmation Another day… another hiccup in the confirmation process for Todd Blanche as he works to become the country's next Attorney General. Now, President Trump is floating the idea of pulling the nomination… at least temporarily. What's been really interesting about this whole process is who's holding it up: two lame-duck Republican Senators. We get updates on the hearing thus far and discuss the specific reservations the two Senators seem to have.    - Federal government expands law helping 'downwinders' When you hear the term "downwinders," you might only think of people living in Southern Utah during the government's nuclear testing decades ago. But the government has actually expanded who qualifies as a downwinder. For people who were made ill by nuclear testing -- but lived in places like Northern Utah -- they haven't qualified for help.... until now. Deseret News reporter Lois Collins explains.    - Davis School District superintendent wins state award Some exciting recognition in Davis School District -- their superintendent has received the award for Utah Superintendent of the Year. Dr. Daniel Linford was recognized by his peers from around the state, who say he uplifts and trains education leaders both in his district and around the state.

Join us for a live Q&A with Dr. Ben Bikman here.For the 100th episode of The Metabolic Link, Ben Bikman, PhD, professor of cell biology and physiology at Brigham Young University and author of Why We Get Sick, returns for a milestone conversation with co-hosts Dominic D'Agostino, PhD, and Victoria Field. Together, they examine what clinicians are measuring, what conventional approaches may be missing, and how the science of metabolic health continues to evolve.Bikman argues that the clinical picture of metabolic health remains glucose-centric and lipid-heavy while the earliest signal, elevated insulin, goes unmeasured. He explains why women stay insulin sensitive at far higher body fat than men and what menopause takes away, why visceral fat is misunderstood, and how a fatty liver can be miscounted as lean mass on a DEXA scan. That last point is why he now says he was wrong about GLP-1 drugs, and why he thinks they should be prescribed as something other than weight loss medication.Questions Answered in This Episode:• Why does standard bloodwork detect metabolic dysfunction so late?• Why are women more insulin sensitive than men at the same or higher body fat?• What actually changes metabolically during menopause?• Is visceral fat inherently dangerous, or is something else going on?• Why did Dr. Bikman change his position on GLP-1 medications?• Should GLP-1 drugs be prescribed as weight loss drugs at all?This milestone episode offers a rigorous, physiology-first look at where metabolic science stands today, and what researchers and clinicians may need to examine next.Thank you for listening, watching, sharing these conversations, and helping us reach 100 episodes.

The power of a simple wave -- it can really change your day. If it comes from a stranger, it might be a little weird -- maybe a little confusing. But the President of Brigham Young University, Shane Reese, says these simple waves have really helped him connect with others, even people he doesn't know. Inside Sources finishes off with a look at the power of a wave.

Back in May, Brigham Young University published the results of a study about AI and religion. The study found that all major AI chatbots would not mention faith in responses to questions in which a well-rounded response probably ought to have included religious or spiritual ideas. Questioning AI about ethics, human suffering and morality will almost never result in a response that includes a religious perspective.In addition to a lack of religious references, the study also determined that the AI models had clear biases against certain religious groups.Among the tested models, the researchers found that Grok had the strongest biases, holding a more negative view of Jehovah's Witnesses, Baha'i, and Hindus. On the flip side, the researchers found that Meta and Anthropic had the least biased models.So what do we do with all of this? At the rate AI is developing, it's increasingly more difficult to see a world where it doesn't affect the way we think and talk with each other—actually, there's data to show that it already is affecting our language.And, though it is changing our speech, its foundation is still deeply human. AI models have actually built themselves on combing through our communication—our articles, our books, our encyclopedias and our social media comments. So, if AI has certain biases, is it merely reflecting the biases of the human species? Or are the developers to blame for influencing its opinions? Or, perhaps most eerily, has AI really come to certain conclusions on its own about how faith ought to operate in our societies?And, if we want to change the way AI speaks about religion, it immediately becomes difficult to conclude how we avoid giving preferential treatment to certain faiths over each other while still being intellectually honest about when certain religions may be more contextually significant to answering a question.To help wade through the messy waters of AI and religion, I spoke with Arizona State ethics professor Ben Hurlbut. Hurlbut specializes in the intersection of faith, technology and ethics and helped me better understand how we have grown to trust the internet and why bias in AI might not be as bad as it sounds.

Matthew Mason (Professor of History at Brigham Young University) chatted with Richard Bell (Professor of History at the University of Maryland) about his new book The American Revolution and the Fate of the World (Penguin, 2025). They had a wide-ranging conversation about this wide-ranging book, including how and why there hasn't been a book quite like it written before, and how Bell illuminates both the “greatest hits” of American Revolutionary legend and some “deep cuts” that readers probably haven't encountered before. For instance, they discussed how Bell recasts iconic events like the Boston Tea Party as having a much bigger context and impact than the provincial setting for most tellings. But also they mused over why certain events and participants, such as American privateers captured and turned into prisoners of war suffering for their country just as much as the soldiers at Valley Forge, have not been part of the central mythology of the Revolution.

After betrayal, the betrayed partner has been genuinely victimized, and that reality deserves compassion, accountability, and space to heal. But lasting healing also requires something more: reclaiming your life without allowing the betrayal to become your identity. In this episode, we explore the difference between being victimized and living from a victim identity. We discuss why recovering partners must avoid using this idea to pressure or shame their partner, and why true healing happens when both people move toward accountability, courage, and genuine partnership. __________________________________ Take the Free Assessment: I created a short self-assessment to help you pinpoint exactly where you are in your healing right now, and what to focus on next.

You probably spend more time thinking about protein than friendships.According to today's guest, you've got it backward.In this episode of A Whole New Level, Mike Haney sits down with Dr. Julianne Holt-Lunstad, one of the world's leading researchers on social connection and health. She explains how data now unequivocally show that social isolation drives early mortality. And why simply not feeling lonely doesn't necessarily mean you're getting enough social connection, as well as why even weak connections matter a lot to a healthy social life.Free course: Improve your metabolic healthGet our free email course on how glucose, nutrition, exercise, sleep, and measurement can help you build habits that support better energy and long-term health: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://levels.link/wnl⁠

Many recovering partners carry unspoken (and spoken...) resentment during the healing process. It often sounds like, “If she would just stop bringing it up,” or “If she would heal faster, I could finally move forward.” While those thoughts are understandable, they can also point to something much deeper. In this episode, we explore why resentment after betrayal isn't actually created by a betrayed partner's healing process. Instead, it often reveals hidden expectations, old thinking patterns, and emotional work the recovering partner has never had to do before. We also discuss how betrayed partners can unknowingly absorb that resentment, pulling them away from their own healing and back into caretaking the person who hurt them. Ultimately, resentment isn't a problem the betrayed partner can solve for the one who broke trust. If you're the recovering partner who broke trust, this is an invitation to understand yourself more deeply, take responsibility for your own emotional experience, and create the conditions for genuine healing, both individually and as a couple. __________________________________ Take the Free Assessment: I created a short self-assessment to help you pinpoint exactly where you are in your healing right now, and what to focus on next.

Each stage reflects a different aspect of their journey as they navigate doubts and seek understanding. Cultural Imbalances: Jeff identifies four cultural imbalances in the Latter-day Saint community, including hard and unyielding soil versus acceptance, and sanctuary versus transformation. These imbalances can alienate individuals who feel their beliefs or experiences do not align with community expectations. Importance of Acceptance: Acknowledging and validating the experiences of those questioning their faith is crucial. Leaders should create an environment where individuals feel safe to express doubts without fear of judgment or ostracism. Nourishment vs. Protection: The conversation emphasizes the need for a balance between the protective aspects of church culture and the nourishing elements that foster growth and transformation. Leaders should focus on providing spiritual nourishment to help individuals thrive. Role of Conversations: Open and supportive conversations can significantly impact whether individuals choose to stay within the faith community. Leaders should approach discussions with empathy and understanding, recognizing the importance of relational dynamics. Leadership Applications Foster Open Dialogue: Encourage open discussions about faith and doubts within congregations. Create safe spaces where members can share their experiences without fear of being labeled or judged. Balance Protection and Nourishment: Strive to create a culture that values both adherence to standards and the acceptance of diverse beliefs and experiences. This balance can help retain members who may feel marginalized. Supportive Leadership: Leaders should model vulnerability by sharing their own faith journeys and struggles. This approach can help normalize the questioning process and foster a sense of community and belonging among members.
