Parshas Toldos is the ultimate masterclass in parenting, love, perseverance, and the eternal tug-of-war between heaven and earth. When Rivka feels her twins fighting in the womb, she is terrified that she is carrying one confused child who is pulled toward both holiness and idolatry. The prophet calms her with the shocking news: “Shnei goyim b'vitnech – two nations are in your womb.” Instead of despairing, she is relieved. Why? Because, as Rabbi Wolbe explains, “the benefit and greatness of Yaakov is so immense that it will supersede all the negative that she will ever experience from Esav.” One pure Yaakov is worth more than all the damage a thousand Esavs can do.The Torah then paints a seemingly troubling picture: “Isaac loved Esav because he put game in his mouth, but Rivka loved Yaakov.” How can holy parents play favorites? The answer redefines love itself: “Love is not finding similarities — love is seeing the potential in the other person and connecting to that.” Isaac gazed at wild, powerful Esav and thought, “If this explosive energy is ever channeled for good, he could move mountains.” Rivka looked at quiet, tent-dwelling Yaakov and saw pure, undiluted holiness already shining. Both parents loved both sons — they simply poured their energy into the child whose hidden potential moved them the most. This becomes the model for all healthy parenting and marriage: every child is your favorite — favorite scholar, favorite artist, favorite comedian, favorite mensch — because “each one is uniquely different… you're not comparing apples to apples, you're comparing apples to oranges to bananas.”For 63 long years Yaakov lives in his wicked brother's shadow. Esav hunts, flatters, and cleverly asks questions like “How do you tithe salt?” just to appear pious and win Isaac's heart. Yaakov, meanwhile, clings only to the “heel” of spirituality — always second place, always doubting, always wondering, “Maybe my father is right and I'm wrong.” Yet he never once compromises. At 63 he finally cooks the lentil stew that wins the blessings, proving that “spiritual growth is always at the heel — slow, painful, and full of doubt — but the tzaddik never quits.” As Rabbi Wolbe powerfully declares: “Quitters always finish first. If you want to win, you can't quit — ever.” And again: “The natural state of a tzaddik is to fall seven times… but the falling is not what we emphasize — it's the getting back up.”The parsha ends with two beautiful side lessons. First, Eliezer (from the cursed lineage of Canaan) is rejected as a match for Isaac, yet when he remains loyally devoted to Avraham despite the insult, Hashem rewards him with kfitzas haderech — miraculous instant travel reserved only for the righteous. Loyalty and perseverance turn even a “cursed” person into a tzaddik. Second, the same dynamic of “investing in the child who needs it most” repeats with Yaakov and Yosef: Yaakov favors Yosef not out of nepotism, but because he sees the unimaginable trials awaiting him in Egypt and knows, “This one is going to need extra love to survive and triumph.”_____________This episode of the Parsha Review Podcast is dedicated in honor of Lenny & Teresa FriedmanDownload & Print the Parsha Review Notes:https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1ncaRyoH5iJmGGoMZs9y82Hz2ofViVouv?usp=sharingRecorded at TORCH Meyerland in the Levin Family Studios (B) to a live audience on November 25, 2025, in Houston, Texas.Released as Podcast on December 3, 2025_____________Subscribe: Apple Podcasts (https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/parsha-review-podcast-rabbi-aryeh-wolbe/id1651930083)Spotify (https://open.spotify.com/show/22lv1kXJob5ZNLaAl6CHTQ) to stay inspired! Share your questions at awolbe@torchweb.org or visit torchweb.org for more Torah content.  _____________About the Host:Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe, Director of TORCH in Houston, brings decades of Torah scholarship to guide listeners in applying Jewish wisdom to daily life.  To directly send your questions, comments, and feedback: awolbe@torchweb.org_____________Support Our Mission:Help us share Jewish wisdom globally by sponsoring an episode at torchweb.org.

Everyone says they want to change… but most people stay exactly where they are because they keep repeating the same behaviors in the same toxic environments expecting a different outcome.Here's the truth:The lesson you refuse to learn will keep punching you in the mouth.And you will never heal in the same environment that made you sick.In this episode of the Bedros Keuilian Show, I break down the two realizations that flipped my life: the ones that pushed me into therapy, forced me to confront my past, and made me cut the people, habits, and environments that were keeping me weak.Growth hurts.Healing is war.And becoming unbreakable requires courage, the courage to face your trauma, set boundaries, and walk away from anything or anyone that sabotages your potential.If you're done repeating the same patterns…If you're done living as the lesser version of yourself…This is your wake-up call to man up, do the work, and take your power back.DOMINATION DOWNLOADSTRAIGHT FROM THE DESK OF BEDROS KEUILIANYour weekly no B.S. newsletter to help you dominate in business and in lifehttps://bedroskeuilian.com/MAN UP SCALE BUNDLE: $29 (100% Goes to Charity)Get your Digital Man Up book + Audiobook + 2 Exclusive MASTERCLASSES & Support Shriners Children's Hospital. https://www.manuptribe.com/limited-offerREGISTER FOR THE LEGACY TRIBEGet the Life, Money, Meaning & Impact You Deservehttps://bedroskeuilian.com/legacytribeJOIN MY FREE 6-WEEK CHALLENGE:Transform into a Purpose-Driven Manhttps://bedroskeuilian.com/challengeTHE SQUIRE PROGRAM: A rite of Passage for Your Son as He Becomes a ManA Father and Son Experience That Will Be Remembered FOREVERhttps://squireprogram.com/registerTruLean Supplements | https://www.trulean.com/pages/bedrosGet 50% Off Trulean Subscribe & Save BundleUse Code: BEDROS Few Will Hunt Apparel | https://fewwillhunt.com/Get 20% Off Your Entire OrderUse Code: BEDROSOPEN A FIT BODY LOCATIONA High-Profit, Scalable Gym Franchise Opportunity Driven By Impacthttps://sales.fbbcfranchise.com/get-started?utm_source=bedrosPODCAST EPISODES:https://bedroskeuilian.com/podcast/STAY CONNECTED:Website | https://bedroskeuilian.com/Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/bedroskeuilian/LinkedIn | https://www.linkedin.com/in/bedroskeuilianTwitter | https://twitter.com/bedroskeuilian

From romantic delusion to 40-year reality: Why intelligent people don't stay married long - and the brutal truth about evolution, control, and the six different women you'll marry in one monogamous relationship. In this unfiltered episode of Konnected Minds, Dr. Charles Apoki - married 40 years to one woman - dismantles the fairy tale keeping young African couples trapped in divorce cycles they never saw coming. This isn't relationship advice from Instagram therapists - it's a systematic breakdown from a Nigerian marriage veteran who reveals why 55% of divorces are initiated by women, why you must be strategically stupid to stay married, and why the submissive woman you married will evolve into six different personalities that will test every ounce of wisdom you possess. The episode exposes a devastating truth most men discover too late: you approached her for curves, color, and the "Nigerianized Yash" - but buttocks and breasts have expiration dates while brains wear with inspiration. You married her when your mental capacity, education, finances, and experience were higher than hers. But as time progresses, she sinks roots into the ground, becomes financially independent, and the biblical "your desire shall be for your husband" reveals its true translation: your desire shall be to control your husband. That's why God said "and he shall rule over you" - because authority was always part of the equation, not just romantic desire. Dr. Apoki reveals why he had to leave all the businesses they started together for his wife - because every day brought three things that could cause divorce if he remained logical instead of strategically stupid. Critical revelations include: • Why logical, intelligent people don't remain married long - you must be stupid for the duration to survive • The evolution principle: your wife will become six different women over the course of marriage • How "your desire shall be for your husband" actually means your desire shall be to control your husband • Why men go for curves and color instead of character, capacity, competence, and chemistry - the oxytocin blindness • The expiration date reality: buttocks and breasts expire, but brains wear with inspiration • Why women who cry after doing something wrong require YOU to apologize to them for crying • How financial independence changes the power dynamic - her income increases, control desires increase • The gap that kills marriages: differences in values, tests, aspirations, and how business should be run • Why at 14+ years, gray hair and gravity lines make her hate herself even when you haven't changed • The compliment crisis: she used to see herself reflected in car windows because the first thing she received at creation was praise • Why aging men dress better, drive better cars, and get "looking take away" compliments while wives get nothing • The workplace/gym danger: when other men give her attention and compliments you're too busy to provide • Why women fall into sexual escapades not from love but from the subconscious need for validation • The reputation principle: men with public platforms have more to lose than wives who aren't doing podcasts The conversation reaches its uncomfortable peak with a truth that destroys romantic idealism: you brought her assets AND liabilities. When she offends you, when she does something wrong, you don't wait for her to apologize - because women might never apologize. You apologize for her crying about her own offense. This isn't weakness - it's the strategic stupidity required to preserve what you built together while she's tracking kilometers in the house, managing children, becoming six different versions of herself, and battling the internal war of aging while you're flying to executive lounges and receiving celebrity treatment. For the African man seeking to build a lasting marriage instead of becoming another divorce statistic, this conversation offers the unfiltered blueprint: marry for character, capacity, competence, and chemistry - not just curves and color. Understand that she will evolve, that control desires will emerge, that financial independence changes dynamics, and that the compliments she needs don't stop just because you're busy building empire. The question isn't whether you'll face these realities - the question is whether you'll be intelligent enough to become strategically stupid, or logical enough to end up divorced like everyone else who thought love alone was sufficient to survive 40 years of evolution, friction, and the six different women hiding inside the one you married.

Prepare to clutch your pumpkin spice latte a little tighter, friend, because today we're diving into the chaotic, deadly, and surprisingly dramatic history of spice. Yes — that cozy sprinkle on your latte once launched wars, bankrupted empires, fueled colonization, and led to one of the worst genocides of the 1600s. Delicious! In this episode, we explore how everyday seasonings like nutmeg, cinnamon, and black pepper sparked global conflict and reshaped world history. From the pepper-obsessed Portuguese to the Dutch colonizers who committed atrocities in the Banda Islands, the spice trade was anything but fragrant. You'll learn: Why black pepper was basically 17th-century Bitcoin How European explorers weren't “discovering” anything except their own incompetence The wild propaganda Arabic traders used (giant birds! flying snakes!) The brutal rise of the Dutch East India Company (VOC) The horrific Banda Islands genocide and the 4-year Nutmeg War How smuggling spice plants undermined European monopolies And the absolutely iconic Buddha Tooth Bamboozle — the ultimate “you thought!” moment in colonial history This episode is a chaotic cocktail of world history, women's history, weird history, humor, and righteous rage. If you never look at your spice cabinet the same again… mission accomplished. Call to Action: If you love a spicy historical deep dive, share the episode or leave a rating — we're almost at our goal!

In this inaugural episode of Confessions of a Supply Chain Executive, host Chris Walton teams up with Richard Stewart (EVP of Product & Industry Strategy) and Eugene Amigud (Chief Innovation Officer) from Infios to conduct a forensic deep dive into retail's most persistent challenge: out-of-stocks. Despite billions spent on technology, the average retailer still faces an 8-10% out-of-stock rate. But here's the truth most won't admit: the problem isn't getting better. It's just getting different. This episode walks through every breakdown point in the supply chain, from forecasting failures to the infamous backroom problem, and delivers a practical framework to diagnose what's really happening inside your operations.

Another frustrating night for Juventus as they drop more points with a 1–1 draw against Fiorentina. Are Juve hard done by, or simply not good enough right now?

Caleb Jones explains why serial cheating is a short-sighted, high-risk strategy and contrasts it with ethical non-monogamy, arguing that honesty, clear agreements, and sexual-health safeguards produce far more stable, long-term happiness. He lays out practical reasons cheating fails—risk of discovery, emotional burden, logistical complexity—and shows how consensual models (OLTR/MLTR) reduce drama while preserving integrity and well-being.

Two venture capitalists dissect why biotech burns billions while China runs trials in weeks—and why the next Genentech won't look anything like the last one. Elliot Hershberg reveals the "three horsemen" strangling drug development as costs explode to $2.5 billion per approval, while Lada Nuzhna exposes how investigator-initiated trials in Shanghai are rewriting the competitive playbook faster than American founders can file INDs. When the infrastructure that built monoclonal antibodies becomes the commodity threatening to hollow out an entire industry, the only path forward demands inventing medicines that are literally impossible to make without tools that don't exist yet—and they're betting everything on which approach survives. Resources:Follow Jorge on X: https://x.com/JorgeCondeBioFollow Lada on X: https://x.com/ladanuzhnaFollow Elliot on X: https://x.com/ElliotHershbergFollow Erik on X: https://x.com/eriktorenberg Stay Updated: If you enjoyed this episode, be sure to like, subscribe, and share with your friends!Find a16z on X: https://x.com/a16zFind a16z on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/a16zListen to the a16z Podcast on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5bC65RDvs3oxnLyqqvkUYXListen to the a16z Podcast on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/a16z-podcast/id842818711Follow our host: https://x.com/eriktorenbergPlease note that the content here is for informational purposes only; should NOT be taken as legal, business, tax, or investment advice or be used to evaluate any investment or security; and is not directed at any investors or potential investors in any a16z fund. a16z and its affiliates may maintain investments in the companies discussed.

In this episode, I'm inviting you into one of the most tender and complicated questions you may ever face: How Do I Know If It's Time to Divorce?  If you've been living in a cycle of uncertainty, replaying conversations, second-guessing yourself, or worrying about the impact on your children, this conversation is designed to bring you clarity, calm, and a grounded sense of direction. I explore the fears and confusion that naturally arise when you're considering divorce, and I help you distinguish between conflict that can be healed and patterns that may be too damaging or entrenched to repair. We'll look at the red flags that often signal deeper dysfunction, the emotional and relational dynamics that affect your wellbeing, and an essential question I encourage every parent to ask: Would I want my children to grow up and repeat this relationship? My intention in this episode is not to push you toward a decision, but to help you see your situation more clearly, understand what healthy partnership requires, and begin to trust your own inner wisdom. Whether you ultimately choose to mend or end, you deserve clarity, dignity, and peace as you move forward.

In this episode of the Dope Black Dads podcast, Marvyn breaks down what it really takes to support a good man in 2025, without shrinking yourself or cosplaying a “good little wife.” He covers: • The truth about “something happening with men” — and why it's about to go one of two ways• The viral Chanté Joseph article about women feeling ashamed to say “I have a boyfriend,” and what that reveals about how men are valued• Why humiliation content (fake throw-up pranks, mocking your man online) destroys respect and never builds the man you actually want• Misogyny vs misandry: why they're not mirror images and why that distinction matters here• How you speak to your man: nagging vs affirmation, and why rants don't land but clear, short statements do• The “tennis vs American football” mistake when men share feelings, and how to catch the emotional ball instead of smashing it back• What to do when he goes silent or withdrawn and you suspect more than “he's just fine”• How to investigate his mood without the dead-end question “You alright?”• Respecting his pace of change instead of treating him like a broken service provider you ordered from an app• Why not every mood change is cheating: money, parents, pressure, identity, and all the other stress signals you keep missing• Turning the home into neutral ground so he doesn't sit in the car dreading walking through the front door• The “driveway rule”: negotiating how much decompression time he needs and what you need once he comes in• Why there's no serious “transition programme” for men moving from work-only identity into work + family, unlike the decades of systems put around women at work• How political and economic systems still profit from overworked, emotionally absent men, and what that means for your relationship• The truth: if your man is genuinely bad for you, you should leave; this episode is for people with a good man who's struggling• The tactic almost nobody uses: sitting in silence, breaking the touch barrier, and offering safety instead of demanding it from a depleted man Hosted on Acast.

Most founders lie to themselves long before they ever pitch an investor. They convince themselves their story is clear, their deck is solid, and their passion will carry them through. The truth? Investors can smell self-deception a mile away. In this episode of The Inquisitor Podcast, Marcus Cauchi sits down with Ben Wiener, venture capitalist, author of the novel Fever Pitch, and someone who knows what it's like to fail spectacularly before finding the formula for investor resonance. Ben's first fund didn't just flop, it crashed. He pitched over 27 investors, was rejected every single time, and even received a few profane ejections. But instead of walking away, he dissected every misstep and built a structural narrative that now underpins the most persuasive startup pitches. Despite being fiction, Fever Pitch hit #1 in multiple non-fiction categories because it teaches a painful truth: most founders don't lose funding because their idea is bad, but because they fail to tell their story truthfully, empathetically, and structurally. What You'll Learn in This Episode 1. Storytelling Isn't Manipulation. It's Communication Many founders, particularly those with technical or analytical backgrounds, resist storytelling. They see it as emotional fluff or manipulation. Ben argues the opposite: stories are how human brains process truth. He explains how a well-structured narrative, rooted in the hero's journey, helps investors understand what's at stake, where the opportunity lies, and why this team is the one to back. As Ben puts it, the goal isn't to cram everything into your pitch. It's to decide what not to say. Founders who “firehose” investors with data end up obscuring their brilliance. The art lies in compression: crushing a lump of charcoal into a diamond. 2. The H-E-A-R-T Framework: How to Win Investor Attention Ben developed the H-E-A-R-T framework to help founders design pitches that resonate instead of repel. Each letter corresponds to a psychological trigger that maps to how investors make decisions: Element Focus Founder Insight H – Hypothesis Start with why. Throw down a belief statement that calls out something broken in your market. E – Enormous Stakes Make it matter. If the problem isn't big, neither is the opportunity. A – Alternatives Are Grossly Inadequate Build tension. Show that the current state is “totally effed up” so your solution feels inevitable. R – Radically Differentiated Solution Deliver the hero. Your idea must be a leap, not a tweak. Investors crave paradigm shifts, not feature lists. T – Traits and Skills of the Team Prove capability. Investors don't buy ideas—they buy the hacker, the hustler, and the hipster. Prove you're all three or have them in your team. 3. Empathy: The Secret Weapon in Pitching and Sales The best founders sell like the best salespeople: they start where the buyer is, not where they wish they were. Ben and Marcus explore why empathy isn't softness, it's strategic. When you meet the investor where they are mentally, you can anticipate objections before they surface, disable the “red neurons” of doubt, and guide them toward clarity instead of confusion. And remember: being invited to pitch doesn't mean you're trusted. You still need to prove your credibility through behaviour, not biography. 4. Balancing Ambition and Reality Entrepreneurship is lonely, and founders must live between two worlds: belief and reality. You need enough delusion to keep pushing against the odds, but enough realism to recognise when something's broken. Ben and Marcus talk about how to use rejection as a diagnostic tool, not an emotional wound. Sometimes, the strongest negative reactions mean you're onto something non-consensus but right. The trick is to refine your structure, not abandon your conviction. As Marcus says, “Run to the sound of gunfire. Find people who'll prove you wrong, that's where the gold is.” For Female Founders Ben's framework levels the playing field by focusing on traits and roles rather than pedigrees and logos. It values demonstrable ability over image.  The episode also redefines selling and leadership as acts of service: helping others make the best decision for themselves. For founders juggling ambition, life, and sanity, this conversation offers a grounded, practical guide to staying both bold and real.

It's about truth, empathy, and building the credibility to lead others. If you've ever wondered why your story doesn't land, or if you've secretly feared you're the one holding your business back, this conversation will hold up the mirror and show you why. Listen now. Face the ugly mirror. And learn to sell your truth.

Sean “Diddy” Combs walked into a Manhattan courtroom hoping for a redemption arc. He left with 50 months in federal prison, five years of supervised release, and a $500,000 fine — because this time, the court listened to the women first. In this episode of Hidden Killers, we break down exactly what happened at Diddy's sentencing — from Cassie Ventura's brutal victim impact letter to the government's demolition of his “changed man” image, to the judge's refusal to let branding outweigh violence.

This is a fan fav episode. Being trilingual is considered to be rather prestigious. Speaking other languages expands your ability to communicate so greatly it adds to the perceived value people will assign to you. But, when you are fluent in Street, Hustling, Broke Money, and Wall Street it becomes the twist no one ever expected. Wallstreet Trapper comes from a troubled past that includes being homeless at 14 and serving 10 years in prison by the age of 16. What he has learned over the years reaches far beyond knowing how to trade stocks and build wealth. His super power is speaking Wall Street in a language that correlates to the same losing game he played on the streets that ended with being shot, in jail or in prison for nearly everyone he knew. His wisdom and willingness to share and make an impact is affecting future generations and bringing Wall Street to the hood, proving that human potential is truly nearly limitless when you put knowledge to use.
