If watching "Adolescence" on Netflix left you feeling worried about your son, this episode will help you turn your concerns into action. Dr. Lisa Damour breaks down what the show gets exactly right about adolescent boys: why they're emotionally constrained by culture, how that vulnerability gets exploited by toxic online figures like Andrew Tate, and what parents can do right now to connect with their sons. This is our most-watched episode ever on YouTube — and we think you'll understand why.

The last six months of consistent classroom teaching has reminded me of an important lesson: Students are more capable than they think. In reading, writing, and math, many times what our students need aren't intensive lessons covering specific steps for success, but rather repeated opportunities to achieve, to practice doing important skills even if they do it poorly early on, and a chance to see their own growth over time.It is a beautiful thing to see a student learn a new skill, and it is a satisfying moment for everyone when that student realizes he or she is capable of learning beyond what they expected for themselves.Show Notes: https://bit.ly/4aRIEzw

Will Julian Sayin Run More in 2026? Ohio State QB Run Game Debate | Buckeye WeeklyOn the Buckeye Weekly Podcast, hosts Tony Gerdeman and Tom Orr respond to a listener question about Ohio State quarterback Julian Sayin using his legs and whether Ryan Day might force a “square peg into a round hole.” They argue the goal isn't to build the offense around quarterback runs, but to create an implied threat—occasional scrambles or keeps on reads—to make defenses account for the QB and help the run game. They discuss how a few key runs, like Carson Beck's against Ohio State, can swing outcomes, and note Sayin is mobile enough to pick up critical first downs without being a power runner. They also touch on sacks impacting rushing totals, suggest more run reads and selective early-season reps, and speculate on a season-high carries over/under around five.00:00 Weekend Mailbag Intro00:56 Julian Legs Concern02:27 Threat Not Feature05:08 Carson Beck Example10:09 More Reads RPOs11:51 Arthur Smith Run Game13:19 Carries Over Under15:00 Wrap Up Subscribe

Sissy Goff and David Thomas sit down with father and son Randy and Scott Hearon for a deeply honest conversation about the father-son relationship. Through stories spanning childhood, adolescence, and adulthood, they explore the messages boys receive about identity, capability, performance, faith, and belonging. Randy reflects on his growth as a father, including the impact of addiction, sports culture, and grace, while Scott shares how his dad's presence, vulnerability, encouragement, and willingness to grow alongside him shaped his life.

What does it really mean to raise a capable kid?In this episode, I revisit the idea that has been at the heart of Lazy Parenting since the very beginning. Looking back now with adult children, university graduates, and a teenager about to enter her final year of high school, I share what I've learned about independence, responsibility, confidence, and why I believe capability may be one of the greatest gifts we can give our kids.We often spend a lot of time trying to build confidence in our children, but what if confidence actually comes from competence? From doing hard things, solving problems, making mistakes, and discovering that they can handle it?Join me as I reflect on the early lessons of Lazy Parenting and how they have played out in real life.Because the goal was never independent children.The goal was independent adults.

In episode 382, Sissy Goff and David Thomas continue their Capable Connections series by exploring the unique relationship between fathers and sons. They discuss how fatherhood shapes both men and children, while highlighting challenges boys face around performance, emotional expression, and isolation. Through research, personal stories, and practical advice, they encourage dads to help sons build healthy identities, strong relationships, and emotional resilience by modeling vulnerability, prioritizing connection, and reminding boys that their worth is not based on achievement.  Resources mentioned: “Don't worry that children never listen to you; worry that they are always watching you.” - Robert Fulghum American Academy of Pediatrics research on youth sports burnout Capable by David Thomas and Sissy Goff . . . . . .  Sign up to receive the⁠ bi-⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠monthly newsletter⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ to keep up to date with where David and Sissy are speaking, where they are taco'ing, PLUS conversation starters for you and your family to share!

Serhii Plokhy details that Khrushchev's decision was driven by the USSR having only five or six ICBMs capable of hitting the U.S. mainland. By deploying medium-range R-12 and R-14 missiles to Cuba, he sought to balance the threat from American Minutemen. He appointed General Pliyev, despite the general's poor health, because he needed a commander capable of defending the island from a potential ground invasion. Newly tapped KGB records reveal the inhuman secrecy of the transit. Soviet units, unfamiliar with the tropics, faced significant technical obstacles, like mismatched electrical frequencies, making their survival a "heroic deed." (3)1915

Henry Sokolski explains the strategic significance of deploying Dual Capable Aircraft (DCA), such as the F-35, to reinforce NATO's nuclear deterrent in Europe. He observes that while Moscow and Beijing oppose these deployments, the aircraft act as vital "glue" for alliances, ensuring that American nuclear guarantees remain credible.1920 MARS

Henry Sokolski warns of China's fast breeder reactor program, which produces super weapons-grade plutonium capable of fueling efficient nuclear triggers. He also notes South Korea's growing interest in developing independent nuclear capabilities and submarines to counter threats from North Korea and China, despite international non-proliferation standards.LACONIA AT SPARTA320 BCE 

You're experienced. Capable. Respected.Yet lately, your thinking feels less sharp. Decisions take more effort. Recovery takes longer. And despite your success, the pressure never seems to let up.Most leadership conversations call this a resilience problem.This episode explores a different possibility:What if chronic pressure is physically changing the part of your brain that leadership depends on most?Fernanda unpacks the neuroscience behind how sustained stress reshapes the brain, impacts decision-making, and quietly erodes leadership capacity.Because burnout isn't just an energy issue.It's a brain issue.And many high-performing leaders are operating from compromised neurological capacity while calling it excellence. If you've ever felt like:• Your brain never fully switches off • Strategic thinking feels harder than it used to • You're carrying more responsibility but enjoying it less • Success looks good externally but feels increasingly expensive internallyThis episode will help you understand what's happening beneath the surface, and what neuroscience says about changing it.In this episode you'll learn:• How chronic stress changes brain architecture • Why cortisol impacts leadership performance • The role of the prefrontal cortex in strategic thinking • Why burnout is more than an energy problem • How pressure suppresses neuroplasticity and recovery • The hidden cost of leading from urgency • Why brain health may be your greatest leadership asset • What it takes to restore capacity, clarity, and cognitive performanceYour Next Steps:Watch the Free MasterclassIf success still feels heavier than it should… this masterclass will help you understand why.Watch The Rewired Method™ in action How we help women executives end burnout and build sustainable success in less than 90 days...I recorded a step-by-step training for you here: The Sustainable Success Plan for Executive Women LeadersExplore The Rewired Woman™https://therewiredwoman.com/Follow on InstagramConnect on LinkedInCorporate Partnerships & Leadership Programshttps://rewiredglobal.com/corporates/

They then get into a conversation on Kyle Pitts and discuss how much trust they have in him in regards to the Falcons making the right decision to franchise tag him this season.

You've started setting boundaries.You've blocked focus time on your calendar.And yet somehow… you're still overwhelmed.Because overwhelm at senior levels isn't usually caused by a lack of boundaries.It's caused by your inability to let go and say “no.”You're still reviewing every deck.Fixing other people's work.Sitting in meetings you don't need to attend.Making yourself available for every question, decision, and fire drill.And without realizing it, you've made yourself responsible for far more than you should be carrying.In this episode of Breaking Free from the Grind, I'm diving in to discuss:Why high-performing women remain overwhelmed even after setting boundaries…and how the real problem is making yourself the safety net for everyone and everything around youThe Let Go & Say No Gap: how struggling to delegate, release control, trust your team, and say no without guilt keeps you trapped in reactive leadership, constant urgency, and exhaustionThe critical identity shift from “my value comes from being needed” to “my value comes from leading strategically”...and how this shift creates more time, stronger teams, greater leadership impact, and sustainable successIf you find yourself reviewing every deliverable, rewriting emails, staying involved in everything, and feeling like the only way things get done right is if you do them yourself...This episode will help you identify exactly where you're still carrying work that no longer belongs to you—and show you how to start leading at your level instead.Next Level™ Leader Quiz: You're smart.

In this episode, Shawn Johnson East and Andrew East discuss the importance of commitment, resilience, and raising capable kids. Drawing from their experiences as elite athletes and parents, they share how supportive parents helped them build confidence through challenges rather than rescuing them from discomfort. The conversation highlights the value of letting children develop independence, discover their unique passions, learn from failure, and stick with things that matter, while emphasizing that growth and joy often come through perseverance rather than quick success.

Some guests make you want to train harder. Mike Wardian makes you want to live wider — and stop postponing the things that matter. Mike is 52, a runner, adventurer, and lifelong “yes” person. What stood out here wasn't a race résumé. It was how he builds a life where training fits inside the day, curiosity stays lit, and progress keeps happening even when time is tight. Mike's story has that real-life Forrest Gump energy — he ran 3,200 miles across America on Running Home. But the reason he belongs on this show is the off-camera stuff: burpees while the toast cooks, workouts folded into errands, and the willingness to be a beginner again — whether that's pickleball, chess, or whatever comes next. I'm grateful to Mike for the clarity and humanity he brought to this episode — ambition without bravado, urgency without panic. In this episode, we explore “Tomorrow isn't guaranteed” philosophy  Training inside real life constraints  The 4-part playbook: mindset  / planning / strength / integration Humility as a longevity skill  Starting > gear, hacks, perfection Links: Mike on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mikewardian/ Mike's website: www.mikewardian.com Mike's partners (mentioned):  Gear: Teva (https://teva.com) • Suunto (https://suunto.com) • Injinji (https://injinji.com) • T8 (https://t8.run) • Bakline (https://bakline.nyc) Fuel: Big Spoon Roasters (https://bigspoonroasters.com) • Squirrel's Nut Butter (https://squirrelsnutbutter.com) • South Block (https://southblock.com) Health: MedStar (https://medstarhealth.org)

This week we have two guests, MARI, and Tony. MARI and I sat down and talked, and she realized that Tony would add some expertise as a disability advocate, and someone who started their own business to help employ those with disabilities. They both have started their own companies, and I've done so much for the disability community, especially for employment. Though neither has a disability themselves, they have a passion for helping those with disabilities.

Ready to begin your journey of healing? It's time to reclaim your life with elite and discreet premium psychotherapy with Dr. Gregory T. Obert;

In today's episode, we're diving into one of the biggest roadblocks to fat loss and consistency - weekends. We talk about how so many people stay locked in Monday through Friday, only to completely shift gears once the weekend hits, treating it like a separate entity with different rules, less structure, and way more “winging it.”We move beyond that into what's actually driving this pattern - rigid dieting during the week, lack of planning, vague intentions like “I'll be mindful,” and the mental tug-of-war between wanting results and wanting a break. We walk through how to create realistic structure for your weekends, stay social without derailing your goals, and build the kind of consistency that actually carries you forward.This episode is all about closing the gap between weekday effort and weekend behavior so you can stop starting over every Monday.“You can easily erase your calorie deficit with one day.”- Amy Rudolph“Winging it is a skill that's earned.”- Iris DeadliftsThis week on Capable and Worthy: Fitness, Nutrition and Mindset for People Who Don't Want Life to Suck:Why weekends feel like a completely different routine (and why that's a problem)How rigid, unsustainable weekday dieting creates weekend backlashThe slippery slope of “I'll just be mindful” without a real planWhy specifics (not vague intentions) are key to staying consistentSimple strategies for eating out without blowing your progressHow to set clear boundaries with alcohol instead of “just one or two”Why “earning” untracked meals comes later (not in the beginning)How consistency builds confidence, self-trust, and long-term results Connect with Us:Iris Deadlifts on InstagramAmy Rudolph on InstagramWork with us at Beth Feraco FitnessThanks for tuning in to this week's episode of Capable and Worthy: Fitness, Nutrition, and Mindset for People Who Don't Want Life to Suck, where we challenge the common understanding of what it means and what it takes to be fit and healthy!

In this solo “Build From Within” episode of Events Demystified, host Anca Platon Trifan shares six pillars about building fundamentals (“the floor”) before chasing bigger outputs, using AI, Ironman training, Fit4Events, and parenting habits as parallel examples.

This Episode explores the powerful and often complicated relationship between mothers and daughters, highlighting how deeply girls are shaped by their moms' words, reactions, and emotional health. Sissy Goff and David Thomas discuss the importance of modeling grace, resisting the urge to rescue or overcorrect, and helping daughters grow through hard things with support instead of protection. They also share practical ways moms can stay connected to their girls through simple everyday moments like walks, shared journals, music, dance parties, and intentional one-on-one time, all with the goal of helping girls feel safe, seen, and capable.  Resources mentioned Dance Party Button . . . . . .  Sign up to receive the⁠ bi-⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠monthly newsletter⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ to keep up to date with where David and Sissy are speaking, where they are taco'ing, PLUS conversation starters for you and your family to share!

Anatoly Zak reports that Russia has successfully tested the Sarmat, a heavy liquid-propellant ICBM designed to target the United States. Capable of carrying up to 20 maneuverable warheads, it replaces the Ukrainian-built "Satan" missile. While technologically complex and using toxic propellants, it represents Russia's commitment to maintaining a formidable strategic nuclear deterrent. (16/16)AUGUST 1957

SCHEDULE JOHN BATCHELOR SHOW, 5-21-2026.1943 USA INFORMATION WAR.Anatol Lieven discusses the resignation of Latvia's Prime Minister following air defense failures. Ukrainian drones targeting Russia have been transiting Baltic airspace, leading to Russian threats of retaliation. Lieven explores the risk of unintended escalation between NATO and Russia amidst suspicions of Baltic-Ukrainian cooperation regarding these drone flight paths. (1/16)Following meetings in Beijing, Vladimir Putin seeks to finalize a gas pipeline to China to offset lost European markets. Anatol Lieven notes that while trade in dual-use technology grows, China remains cautious about full military escalation. Russia's involvement in the Iran and Ukraine wars complicates its position, as it lacks spare weaponry for Iran. (2/16)Russia has resumed military cargo shipments to Syria for the first time since the al-Sharaa government took power. Ahmad Sharawi explains that President al-Sharaa is balancing relations with Russia, Turkey, and Ukraine to rebuild his military. Tensions remain regarding the integration of foreign jihadist groups, such as al-Qaeda affiliates, into the new Syrian army. (3/16)Mary Anastasia O'Grady reports that the U.S. has imposed sanctions on GAESA, a shadowy military-controlled conglomerate dominating 70% of Cuba's economy. The company manages retail, ports, and foreign currency, including billions allegedly gained through human trafficking of medical personnel. These financial restrictions aim to pressure the regime toward democratic transition and have already impacted foreign investors. (4/16)Evan Ellis reports that Bolivia faces nationwide protests and blockades over austerity measures and fuel shortages. President Rodrigo Paz attempts reconciliation, but former President Evo Morales is accused of destabilizing the government to avoid child trafficking prosecution. While La Paz faces resource shortages, the eastern lowlands remain calm, highlighting a deep regional and political divide. (5/16)Evan Ellis characterizes protests in Bolivia as an organized "coup in motion" funded by coca growers' unions. Figures like Evo Morales and rivals within the government benefit from dismantling reforms. The instability threatens counter-drug efforts and allows criminal organizations to flourish while the government struggles to maintain order amidst resource blockades. (6/16)Evan Ellis reports that the U.S. Justice Department has indicted 94-year-old Raul Castro for the 1996 murder of "Brothers to the Rescue" pilots. The indictment serves as leverage in transition negotiations. Meanwhile, Russia and China pledge support to Cuba, and the arrival of a U.S. aircraft carrier signals a potential shift toward selective military pressure. (7/16)Evan Ellis reports that Venezuela has surrendered Alex Saab, Nicolas Maduro's former bagman, to the U.S. for prosecution. Saab possesses critical information on illicit financial flows involving Iran, Cuba, and Colombia. Delcy Rodriguez's decision to extradite him suggests a complex internal power play to appease Washington while eliminating her own political rivals. (8/16)Peter Mauch explores the early life of Hideki Tojo, focusing on his failed 1945 suicide attempt and the military code prohibiting the disgrace of surrender. Born into a samurai-descended family, Tojo's ambitions were fueled by the perceived mistreatment of his father by a cronyist military system, leading him to excel academically. (9/16)Peter Mauch explains that during the 1930s, the Japanese army split into the "Imperial Way" and "Control" factions. The Imperial Way prioritized morale and the Emperor, while Tojo's Control faction advocated for "total war" preparation involving all state resources. This rivalry turned murderous, culminating in assassinations and coup attempts against the civilian government. (10/16)Peter Mauch explains that in 1937, the Marco Polo Bridge incident sparked conflict between Japan and China. While Tokyo sought de-escalation, the Kwantung Army, including Tojo, pushed for escalation and conquest. Chiang Kai-shek's refusal to surrender drew the Japanese military into a "quicksand" interior, creating an inescapable and draining quagmire for the army. (11/16)Peter Mauch explains that as War Minister, Tojo—nicknamed "The Razor"—instilled iron discipline within the fractious Japanese army to earn the Emperor's favor. He consolidated political power by centralizing military communication and cashiering insubordinate officers. Meanwhile, Japan eyed the defenseless Southeast Asian colonies of European powers, determined not to "miss the bus." (12/16)Veronique de Rugy argues that tariffs function as taxes paid by Americans, with costs passing to consumers at a 96% rate. Despite promises to revive manufacturing, employment in that sector has continued to decline. The policy is described as a "catastrophe" resulting in billions in unconstitutional levies that require federal refunds. (13/16)Sadanand Dhume reports that the BJP's landslide victory in West Bengal marks a significant defeat for longtime leader Mamata Banerjee. Her neglect of the economy and corruption allegations led to her ouster. This victory signals Narendra Modi's regained political strength, cracking opposition bastions and positioning India as a vital alternative in global supply chains. (14/16)Anatoly Zak reports that despite sanctions and corruption scandals, Russia successfully launched the Soyuz-5 rocket, a joint project with Kazakhstan designed to replace Ukrainian technology. While international commercial prospects have vanished, Russia is pivoting toward domestic military payloads. Development continues on the Angara family of rockets, though the program faces significant spacecraft production delays. (15/16)Anatoly Zak reports that Russia has successfully tested the Sarmat, a heavy liquid-propellant ICBM designed to target the United States. Capable of carrying up to 20 maneuverable warheads, it replaces the Ukrainian-built "Satan" missile. While technologically complex and using toxic propellants, it represents Russia's commitment to maintaining a formidable strategic nuclear deterrent. (16/16)Notes: corrected "Akmed Sharawari" → Ahmad Sharawi; "Alshara" → al-Sharaa (Syrian president). Flag if you prefer alternate transliterations.

Rick Fisher discusses record-breaking arms packages for Taiwan, including loitering drones and missile defense, to counter potential Chinese invasion. Gordon Chang emphasizes the need for equipment capable of surviving an initial massive missile barrage. (1/16)1920S DUST BOWL IDAHO

1. Renewed Strategic Threat from Cuba Despite the Cold War being considered over, Cuba is again being viewed as a potential military staging ground for U.S. adversaries.

Geographic Danger Cuba is only ~90 miles from Florida, making it: Extremely close for drone operations A potential launch platform against U.S. cities, ports, and infrastructure 4. Growing Alliance Against the U.S. Increasing military and intelligence cooperation between Cuba, Russia, and Iran Activities include: Naval visits Political meetings Agreements on military and intelligence coordination Iran also expanding influence across Latin America 5. “Gray Zone Warfare” Strategy Adversaries may avoid direct war and instead use: Drone attacks Cyber warfare Infrastructure sabotage Disinformation Goal: Disrupt the U.S. without triggering full-scale conflict 6. Potential Attack Scenarios Drone swarms launched from Cuba could target: Military bases Airports Power grids Ports and fuel systems Even small attacks could cause: Economic disruption Public panic 7. U.S. Vulnerabilities Current weaknesses include: Limited counter-drone defenses Unprepared local law enforcement Vulnerable infrastructure Borders are a possible entry point for equipment or operatives Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.

In this episode, Alena Pitts Franklin shares how grief, faith, and family shaped her understanding of capability and identity. She reflects on her early acting role in War Room, the loss of her mother Winter Pitts, and how God's steadiness carried her through seasons of fear, insecurity, and growth. Throughout the episode, Alena encourages parents to lead with peace, encouragement, and authentic faith rather than fear, while reminding girls that their identity is rooted in God's love instead of culture, achievement, or comparison. She also discusses her new book God Is, her ongoing work with For Girls Like You Ministries, and her passion for helping girls discover confidence, purpose, and resilience through a relationship with God.
