Managing a team that spans five generations isn't a Gen Z problem. It's a leadership challenge. In this episode, I sit down with Jason Burlingame to talk about the workplace tensions that seem to resurface with every generation and what it takes to lead through them.

We are approaching the centenary of the discovery of the Ugaritic language, which belongs to the same family of languages as Hebrew, Aramaic, Moabite, and others. This relationship with Hebrew permits insights to flow both from Hebrew to Ugaritic and Ugaritic to Hebrew. One illustration of this is found in Prov. 12:17. A word traditionally parsed as a verb in a context that seemed to call for a noun was confirmed to be a noun when Ugaritic parallels were uncovered. Some English translations are still catching up. Dr. Andrew Burlingame, a prior contributor to this podcast, is a Wheaton College Classical Languages program alumnus and is now Assistant Professor of Hebrew at the same. He specializes in Northwest Semitic languages, including Hebrew, Aramaic, Phoenician, and Ugaritic, along with their history and texts. Some of his recent publications are featured here.   Check out related programs at Wheaton College: B.A. in Classical Languages (Greek, Latin, Hebrew): https://bit.ly/4dbosJz  M.A. in Biblical Exegesis: https://bit.ly/4nb1vKP 

Author, financial analyst, and former Green Beret E.M. Burlingame joins John Odermatt to expose a 400-year-old predatory financial system — what he calls the "Financialist Kill Chain" — and argues that the same seven-step playbook used to hollow out empires throughout history is now being run on the United States. Burlingame traces the system's origins from the Praetorians of Rome through Venice, Amsterdam, and finally to the City of London, which he describes as a separate financial power occupying the Anglosphere since 1688. The conversation covers how debt, asset seizure, economic destabilization, and elite coercion have been used as weapons against civilizational peoples — and why Burlingame believes the U.S. is currently in the final phase of collapse and abandonment. He also examines why Russia and China have so far resisted the kill chain, what Trump's constraints are, and what ordinary Americans can actually do to push back. Burlingame's unique background — spanning investment analysis, algorithmic trading, Special Forces targeting, and computational engineering — gives him a rare lens to see patterns most analysts miss.

Episode Summary Erin and Rachel discuss Tangled (2010), the 50th animated film from Walt Disney Animation Studios and one of Rachel's favorites. Based on the fairytale of Rapunzel, this coming-of-age tale features songs from Disney veteran Alan Menken and impressive computer animation. Although Erin and Rachel disagree about the viability of the romantic plot, they agree that Mother Gothel is an effective villain and Pascal is a delightful sidekick. Episode References 羽静.

Joe opens the show with a blistering takedown of Senator Tim Kaine's jaw-dropping claim that Virginia needs a 90% Democrat congressional delegation to “stand up to Donald Trump's tyranny” even though Kamala Harris only won the state by 5 points. He sets the tone for the entire episode. We now live in a warped reality where lies are treated as truth, dogwhistles and defamation rule the day, and stolen elections have produced selected leaders who openly put Americans last. From Pennsylvania election officials caught on video shredding 2020 evidence and plotting cover-ups, to a Wiconisco Township election chief who openly complains about the cost of gender surgery, Joe exposes the grotesque double standard and the systemic fraud that continues to rot our republic.Green Beret veteran, father, and author EM Burlingame joins the show to discuss his hard-hitting new piece, “Our Kids Are Failing In the Millions: While We're Out There Bleeding the Horizon.” He delivers a sobering message that America's real war is not overseas but right here at home an internal, cultural, and spiritual battle for the souls of the next generation. While patriots focused on external threats, elites, schools, media, and institutions have been hollowing out our children through ideology, screens, gender confusion, despair, and drugs. EM makes it crystal clear: if we lose our kids, every other victory becomes meaningless.Joe confronts the ADL's latest actions, including the letter sent to the Colorado GOP targeting him, CEO Jonathan Greenblatt's push to ban Nick Fuentes supporters across social media, and the resurfaced 1972–73 Nixon–Billy Graham conversation discussing the “Synagogue of Satan.” From Kaine's shameless gaslighting to election officials destroying evidence and the ADL acting as self-appointed arbiters of truth, this episode pulls no punches: the system is built on stolen elections, lies, and coordinated attacks on American values.

In Part 2, we pick up where we left off in Part 1, with Sonia's life right after her stint at community college. She left the Bay Area to attend college up north at Chico State. Widely known as a party school (perhaps rightly so?), they also had a reputable journalism department and an award-winning newspaper. This attracted Sonia, of course. But some friends also attended, and that didn't hurt. Once in Chico, Sonia joined said college paper and got a job (where else?) at a movie theater. It was her first time to move out of her parents' house. She lived with a couple of roommates in Chico. That was one culture shock. Another was that, well, Chico isn't The Bay. And then there's those foothills winters. It also gets hotter in the summer there than it does in Concord. Sonia wrote for every section of the school paper, and even did some online writing, thanks to Chico State's early adoption of the internet. She even developed a little campus fan base. Sometimes walking around, she'd get shout-outs. There was even a Sonia character in one of the local comic strips. It was another phase of finding her people. She thinks that because all her roommates in Chico were men, she got really exciting to hang out with young women. She graduated after three years, in 1996. That Bay Area magnet snatched her back after that, and she moved in with her parents again in Concord. That gave way to an apartment she shared with her sister. Sonia got a job at the Martinez News-Gazette around this time, a three-day-a-week paper where she earned $213 per week. Anywhere she could find free food, she pounced. At the newspaper, she more or less did it all—cops, local and community news, school board meetings, and, of course, a humor column. I ask Sonia who her humor influences and inspirations are, and she immediately cites George Carlin (this is probably a big part of why we're friends). Her dad loved Carlin, too, and Sonia says the old man also has a wicked sense of humor that rubbed off on her. Another source of jokes was none other than Bugs Bunny. And lastly, Alan Alda's Hawkeye in M•A•S•H is another humor muse. That newspaper job led to her time at the San Francisco Independent, a paper owned by the Fang family. Sonia did a neighborhood beat on that job, reporting on school board, planning commission, and other community meetings. We rewind for a minute so Sonia can share early memories and impressions of San Francisco, having grown up across The Bay. When she was a kid, her grandma would take her to see The Nutcracker. She'd visit on other special occasions, but it wasn't until she was an adult that The City really grabbed hold of her heart. There's a hilarious story about showing up to dance at The Palladium wearing a "Ross Perot for President" T-shirt. Years later, with that job at the Independent, Sonia found herself in San Francisco most days. Though she had to write only three stories, the money was better and the circulation bigger than her previous job in Martinez. The beat was familiar—school board and planning commission meetings. She and her sister had bought a house for themselves in Concord, where they lived with her young niece. Eventually, the paper transferred Sonia to its Burlingame office, but it was to start writing movie reviews. Eventually, she even convinced the Independent to let her write TV show reviews. When the Fangs bought the San Francisco Examiner, they kept Sonia on to be their TV critic and moved her back to The City, to an office above the Warfield. She'll be the first to admit that when you're getting paid to watch TV, it's not so fun anymore. The paper cut Sonia, but brought her back three weeks later, this time to be the A&E editor. The Examiner was a slimmed-down, tabloid version of its former self. That's how it was a few years later when, fresh out of journalism school at SF State, I got a job there as a copy editor. I distinctly remember one of my favorite daily tasks was editing Sonia's celebrity gossip column—Scoop, which happened early in my shifts, around 4 p.m. or so. In the episode, I riff about how much I loved reading Scoop every day, even though I've never been good at or cared much for celebrity news. I also let Sonia know that I also appreciated her presence off the page, in the newsroom. She describes her time at The Examiner as something she loved, but it was also hard. She shares that, after working long days for little pay, she'd go home and play The Sims. Once, around 3 a.m., playing the game, her character was going to a party. And it clicked: Sonia couldn't remember the last time she went to a party. She needed to make some changes, and one was leaving The Examiner. First up was an HR temp job where her mom worked, in Vallejo. Next was a job writing press releases for a real estate company. Then she found work at a printing company in Oakland called PS Print. (Our lives intersected again around this time, but that's another story.) She helped them create a social media presence. Outside of work, Sonia had a blog (which she still has) called The Sonia Show. Check back tomorrow for Part 3 with Sonia. We recorded this episode at Rosamunde in The Mission in January 2026.

Building that long-term leverage can be difficult with short bursts of visibility. You need to consistently show up, make yourself known, and build relationships before you need them. In today's CMO Series Rainmakers episode, we are joined by Laurie Burlingame, a Corporate Partner at Morse, who shares her grounded view on what rainmaking really looks like in this current legal market as proactive networking becomes more crucial than ever. With a background that spans science, an MBA in finance and accounting, and nearly two decades in Big Law during the explosive growth of Boston's life sciences sector, Laurie has built her practice at the intersection of technical complexity, capital, and client trust. She shares her hard-earned advice on the importance of valued relationships, having a clear understanding of shifting client expectations, and why thought leadership is a non-negotiable for leaders. Alex and Laurie discuss: Her scientific approach to client problem-solving The effect of AI on shifting client expectations How to maintain momentum and stay top of mind with clients The importance of cross-selling to build trust internally Structural differences between Big Law and smaller firms Effective networking advice to build long-term relationships

On today's Joe Untamed, we confront one of the most shocking acts of political violence in recent memory—the shooting of conservative activist Charlie Kirk during his campus event at Utah Valley University. Kirk was struck in the neck while speaking on stage, sparking chaos as students and staff scrambled for safety. Authorities confirmed the shot came from a building roughly 200 yards away, and although one person was briefly detained, the true suspect remains at large. The FBI and ATF are now leading the investigation, underscoring just how serious this attack is. We speak with Lara Logan, an award-winning investigative journalist who has exposed corruption, terrorism, and propaganda campaigns around the globe, views the shooting of Charlie Kirk as part of a broader pattern where truth-tellers and political dissenters are increasingly targeted. With her deep background in uncovering hidden networks of influence and manipulation, Logan warns that this attack is not random—it reflects the weaponization of narratives and the escalation of political violence designed to silence voices that challenge entrenched power. Her expertise reminds us that, just as in war zones abroad, those who control the flow of information and use violence to intimidate their opponents hold a dangerous advantage unless exposed. Next we connect with E.M. Burlingame, drawing on his experience as a Green Beret, an expert in counterterrorism, and human-domain warfare, agrees that the shooting of Charlie Kirk is not an isolated act but a dangerous symptom of America's growing fragmentation. He sees it as a textbook example of how political violence mirrors insurgent tactics—engineered to fracture trust, capture attention, and distort narratives. In his view, the incident underscores the urgent need for a disciplined, multi-layered response, much like irregular warfare demands: vigilant intelligence, stronger community resilience, and strategic clarity to prevent ideology from destabilizing the nation further.

We focus on President Trump taking to the streets in Washington, D.C., patrolling in response to surging crime while the National Guard and local police remain under federal oversight. This unprecedented action is a bold statement about leadership, accountability, and citizen safety—and it sets the stage for a deeper conversation about how cultural, societal, and institutional pressures are reshaping America. Joining us is E.M. Burlingame, Special Forces veteran, tech entrepreneur, and global security expert, who draws chilling parallels between today's cultural shifts in America and China's Cultural Revolution. From attacks on traditional values and the nuclear family to the weaponization of media and education systems, E.M. will dissect how these forces are influencing public behavior, law enforcement, and community safety. Using his experience in counterinsurgency, brain health research, and global security operations, he'll help listeners understand how societal engineering, ideological pressure, and policy decisions are converging to create real-world consequences across the nation. Todays show goes beyond the headlines to connect action with analysis. From Trump's patrols in D.C. to the psychological and cultural impacts of America's ongoing revolution, listeners will gain a unique perspective on leadership, social dynamics, and the strategies citizens can use to protect their communities.

Ukraine is desperate—so desperate, in fact, that they have been importing Colombian mercenaries to fight their war, a conflict that officials believe will last another ten years. How can a country running out of soldiers win a war on the backs of mercenaries? Next, the ODNI reports from Tulsi Gabbard continue. Will a strike force be assembled to target the previous administration where it hurts? But that's not all—the Trump administration is subpoenaing the Clintons for their connection with Maxwell and interviewing Maxwell regarding the Epstein files. Later, we discuss the latest news and what everyone has been up to. E.M. Burlingame joins the show to weigh in.  

In this episode, we look at the life of Anson Burlingame, a well-known name  in California. During Lincoln's term as president, he was appointed Chief Minister to China, arriving in Beijing in the summer of 1862. Already well-known in the US as a fiery abolitionist and a man who believed everyone should be treated fairly and with all due respect, he sympathized with the Chinese government. When he arrived in post-Opium Wars, post-Treaty of Tianjin/Convention of Beijing China, he used his respected position among the diplomatic community of the treaty powers to fight for a fair deal for China. In a controversial move, he was appointed by the Qing government to lead a mission to the US and the great capitals of Europe to advocate on China's behalf. While in the US, Burlingame championed the signing of a treaty, the first of its kind, that recognized China as an equal sovereign nation. It opened the door to legal Chinese immigration and travel to the US. That ended up becoming the treaty's undoing.
