I'm delighted to have today's guest back on the podcast. When we last heard from Kris Byers, he told us about the incredible turnaround and evolution of his business since implementing the No BS Model. In eighteen months, he went from scared of investing in joining the program to quadrupling his income – with a third of the clients! I wanted to check back in with Kris because since that episode, he's won awards, bagged some really big clients, and run incredible projects. You'll want to hear about how he handled working with bigger companies and more decision makers while still getting rid of the BS. And he'll explain why he's shifting his focus back to small businesses, even though he now knows how to successfully manage the big guys. Kris Byers is the founder of Horrible Brands, where he helps purpose-driven business owners create personal brands to show up with clarity and confidence, and create real world impact. Tune into this episode to hear:How Kris tweaked the No BS Model to accommodate bigger projects and longer timeframes without losing the guardrailsHow to successfully deputize a decision-maker to be the leader of their groupWhy the LP is even more essential when you're juggling multiple stakeholdersHow bigger project price tags can make you lose sight of your boundariesWhat Kris learned about refining his messaging Learn more about Kris Byers:Horrible Brands: http://horriblebrands.comKris's Website: https://www.krisbyers.comInstagram: @horriblebrandsConnect on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/krisbyers/Resources:Grab the first chapter of my new book Scale Solo: scalesolobook.comProgram: No BS Mastery: https://nobsmastery.com/programThe Price to Freedom Calculator™ - http://nobsmastery.com/priceGrab a copy of my book: Badass Your Brand - https://www.badassyourbrand.com/Program: No BS Agency Mastery: https://join.nobsmastery.com/agency-masteryNo BS Clients Lab: https://nobsclientslab.com/

In the second part of Barry Stevens' conversation with international law expert Michael Byers, the focus shifts to the "tragedy of the commons" unfolding above our heads. As thousands of satellites are launched by companies such as Elon Musk's SpaceX and millions of pieces of debris accumulate in orbit, the risk grows of a collisional cascade—known as the Kessler Syndrome—that could render parts of near-Earth space unusable for generations. Byers says that the rapid commercialization of space is linked to US military priorities and great power competition, as satellite networks sold as civilian infrastructure become essential tools of modern warfare and domination. The pace of expansion is outstripping the ability of international institutions to protect and govern the orbital environment. In the process, the spirit of the 1967 Outer Space Treaty is being steadily eroded. Space was envisioned as a realm of peaceful cooperation and a province of all humankind. This analysis shows how one of its last great global commons is being stolen and squandered.

Article 1 of the Outer Space Treaty, signed at the height of the Cold War in 1967, declares that space "shall be the province of all [hu]mankind." That remarkable consensus, with its benefits to science and communication, has held for more than half a century— until now. In this conversation, host Barry Stevens talks with Michael Byers— Canada Research Chair in Global Politics and International Law at UBC and co-author of Who Owns Outer Space? — about how, behind breathless media coverage of rockets landing by themselves and astronauts circling the moon, Donald Trump's reframing of space as a "warfighting domain" and his Golden Dome fantasy are eroding fifty years of restraint and triggering an arms race. With Pentagon-backed companies like Musk's SpaceX, the commons of space is being crowded, enclosed, monetized, and militarized. But as Byers insists, "it is not too late."

Milam Byers, guitarist for Christian rock legends Bleach, has spent twenty years trying to understand one moment. His older brother Josh, a decorated Army captain, was killed by a massive IED in Iraq in 2003. The explosion was so violent that it shook the ground two miles away. According to every medical report, Josh died instantly. But his driver heard him shout a command. Clear. Precise. By name. And every man in that vehicle obeyed it and lived. Milam sits down with Luke and Nate to share what the driver told him years later about a voice that couldn't have been there, but everyone heard.This is an episode about brothers, grief, and what happens when God shows up in the deepest darkness. Milam opens up about the vision he received alone in a closet the night Josh died, the satellite image nineteen years later that confirmed every detail, and why the theology of suffering isn't just academic to him. He's still putting the pieces back together. And his brother's last words keep pointing him forward.
