In this episode of Develop This!, Dennis Fraise speaks with Ryan Silva, Executive Director of the New York State Economic Development Council, about the policies, partnerships, and strategies shaping economic growth across New York. Ryan shares insights on how data-driven decision-making is helping communities plan for the future, attract investment, and navigate increasingly complex economic challenges. From workforce development to infrastructure planning, the conversation highlights the importance of grounding strategy in reliable research and long-term thinking. A major focus is the impact of the CHIPS and semiconductor investments transforming regions across the country. Ryan discusses how large-scale projects create opportunities for growth while also requiring communities to think carefully about readiness, workforce capacity, and supporting infrastructure. The discussion also explores the balance between pursuing major economic wins and ensuring smaller communities have the tools and resources needed to thrive. Throughout the episode, Ryan emphasizes the importance of adaptability, collaboration, and continuous professional development in a rapidly evolving field. A key takeaway? Successful economic development is built on preparation, partnerships, and a willingness to embrace both opportunity and change.

You might remember Katryn from episode 292, where we dove deep into the behavioral blueprint for inclusion. Well, a lot can happen in a year—or in our current case, since the wild ride of the 2026 election—and the DEI landscape is shifting beneath our feet. I'll admit, when I first started this work ten years ago, I thought we could just shout from the rooftops that inclusion matters and everyone would just magically get it. But as we look at the headlines today, it's clear that "shiny object syndrome" has left us with a lot of noise and not enough real, systemic change. Katryn and I sit down to unpack what global leaders are actually doing right now to push past the performative and get to the heart of what makes workplaces genuinely fair. Key Themes from the Conversation Moving from Noise to Systemic Change. Organizations frequently focus on highly public, performative declarations of inclusivity rather than restructuring the underlying processes that perpetuate bias. "Organizations were doing a lot of the shiny stuff... doing what we would call noisy things, right? Proclaiming, saying, being public... but obviously that not necessarily translating to real-world change." — Katryn Wright The Problem with Unconscious Bias Training. Treating broad, one-size-fits-all training modules as a standalone solution is ineffective and can create artificial metrics that trigger cultural backlash. "An awful amount of money was spent on something that the science shows is... ineffective at best, counterproductive at worst." — Katryn Wright Inclusion as an Aspiration, Not a Default Value. Framing inclusion as a predefined company value mistakenly implies that the work is already complete, whereas framing it as an ongoing aspiration invites employees to actively participate in closing the gap. "When we talk about inclusion as a value, it is not as effective as when we talk about inclusion as an aspirational goal... it suggests that we've been missing a trick to be bringing people on as much as we can." — Katryn Wright Precision and Data Science in Workplace Fairness. True progress requires identifying the exact inflection points in employee experiences—like hiring, promotion, and retention stages—where disparities emerge, and applying targeted behavioral interventions. "Let's go and be as precise as possible about changing behavior in that exact situation... when we are able to be as precise as possible about which specific behaviors need to change, we can get to those outcomes." — Katryn Wright Actionable Takeaway for Listeners Stop trying to de-bias your entire team all at once with sweeping declarations. Instead, pick one specific process in your daily workflow—whether it's how you audit resumes, run performance reviews, or distribute project assignments—and analyze the data to find where the equity gaps lie. Designing small, targeted interventions at precise moments is how real cultural evolution happens. Follow Katryn at https://www.morethannow.co.uk/

Join the Leaving Egypt community on Substack: leavingegyptpodcast.substack.comIn this episode, Al Roxburgh and Jenny Sinclair meet Ian Williamson. Ian is a man of great courage whose life was transformed after being dominated by heavy drinking, cocaine addiction, gambling debts, and self-destruction. When he encountered Christ, he chose not to leave but to stay on the council estate where he grew up - and recognised that discipleship there required a distinctively relational approach. He now mentors fellow working class pastors, encouraging them to let their lives speak and to dwell among neighbours as fellow travellers. Ian speaks frankly about the deep alienation between many working class communities and mainstream churches. He names the collapse of moral leadership and the failure of many middle-class leaders to connect with the concerns of poor areas. He also describes the catastrophic damage done to family life and how globalisation has eroded community-centred ways of living. He sees an urgent need for spiritual rebuilding, one relationship at a time. Ian is “the genuine article” — an ordinary man living an extraordinary vocation, through whom the love of Jesus shines.Ian Williamson is a working-class pastor and church planter from Middlesbrough. Raised in a single-parent home, his early life was dominated by violence and addiction and shaped by work as a nightclub bouncer. After meeting Jesus, Ian's life was transformed. He was led to plant and pastor New Life Church, and with his wife Rachel, to co-found SixtyEightFive, a ministry supporting men and families affected by fatherlessness. Now, as Executive Director of Medhurst Ministries, he equips pastors for contextual mission, evangelism and relational discipleship, planting and supporting churches in the UK's most deprived places, especially council estates.For Ian Williamsonwww.medhurstministries.orgIn Context Podcast: For Alan J Roxburgh:http://alanroxburgh.com/aboutFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/alan.roxburgh.127/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thecommonsnetworkBooks:Forming Communities of Hope in the Great Unravelling: Leadership in a Changing World (with Roy Searle)Joining God in the Great UnravellingLeadership, God's Agency and DisruptionsJoining God, Remaking Church, Changing the World: The New Shape of the Church in Our TimeFor Jenny Sinclair:Substack: https://t4cg.substack.com/s/from-jenny-sinclairWebsite: https://togetherforthecommongood.co.uk/from-jenny-sinclairLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jenny-sinclair-0589783b/Twitter: https://twitter.com/T4CGFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/TogetherForTheCommonGoodUKInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/t4cg_insta/ This is a public episode.

With climate change, the threat of wildfires, and human encroachment among other things, our trees and forests are in desperate need of guardians.

Can Bordeaux adapt to changing wine tastes without losing its identity? Bordeaux is pulling up thousands of hectares of vines because of overproduction. How does Mouton Cadet's model offer a way out for some wine growers? How are modern Bordeaux producers, like Mouton Cadet, creating wines with more energy, smoothness, and drinkability for today's consumers? In this episode of the Unreserved Wine Talk podcast, I'm chatting with Véronique Hombroekx, the Managing Director for the Mouton Cadet Brand and Jérôme Aguirre, Director, Mouton Cadet Wines, about their Fair for Life program. You can find the wines we discussed at https://www.nataliemaclean.com/winepicks.   Highlights Why did Canada become one of the first markets chosen for Mouton Cadet's Fair for Life launch? What does the success of Fair for Life wines in Canada reveal about today's wine consumers? Why does Veronique see consumer support as a direct investment in the future of winegrowers? How is Mouton Cadet helping consumers understand what the Fair for Life certification means? Why does Veronique view consumer confusion between Fair for Life and Fair Trade as an opportunity rather than a problem? Why does Veronique believe Bordeaux still faces difficult challenges despite signs of optimism? How are changing consumer preferences forcing Bordeaux to rethink its traditional style of wine? Why do Veronique and Jérôme believe curiosity and humility are essential to Bordeaux's future? How is Mouton Cadet helping growers become more resilient instead of pulling out vineyards? Why is maintaining 30% organic vineyards more realistic than pursuing organic conversion at any cost? What does Jérôme mean when he says the 2022 vintage is "singing" while the 2023 vintage is "dancing"? If Veronique could summarize Fair for Life in a single sentence, what would she want consumers to understand?   About Mouton Cadet's Fair for Life Certification The Fair for Life fair-trade certification scheme officially recognises Mouton Cadet's commitment and makes them unique in Bordeaux. The aim of this certification is to pursue existing initiatives with their winegrowers in response to a range of challenges: economic (more resilient operating models), environmental (support for the agroecological transition) and social (training, transmission of skills). Each bottle of Mouton Cadet with the Fair for Life label bears witness to the combination of a shared passion and a long-term commitment.           To learn more, visit https://www.nataliemaclean.com/396.

Despite agreeing that AI is likely as transformative as its proponents argue, Ed Cole, head of multi-strategy equities at Man Group, believes it’s too early to understand whether there’s a bubble. Meanwhile, the growing backlash against globalization and an effort to reshore means traditional 60/40 portfolios are at risk of becoming outdated. He says a reallocation of assets across gold, small caps and liquid alternatives could be essential to keep up with a changing macro environment. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

There are some guests who simply make you think differently about birds, conservation, and our place in the natural world.Today's episode is a special one because it marks Episode 200 of The Birding Life Podcast.When I started this podcast, I never imagined that we would reach 200 episodes. Along the way we've spoken to birders, guides, photographers, conservationists, scientists, authors, and some truly remarkable people from around the world who share a passion for birds.Before we begin, I would love to ask a small favour.This podcast has never really been about numbers. It's always been about people. As we celebrate Episode 200, I would love to hear from you. Where in the world do you listen from? How did you discover The Birding Life Podcast? Has there been an episode, conversation, guest, or moment that has stayed with you or helped shape your birding journey?Please send me an email at info@thebirdinglife.com. I would love to hear your story and celebrate this milestone together with the community that has made these 200 episodes possible.It feels fitting that Episode 200 features one of the most respected bird writers and communicators of our time.My guest today is Scott Weidensaul, an American ornithologist, bird migration researcher, conservationist, and New York Times bestselling author. Over the course of his career, Scott has written more than 30 books and has become one of the leading voices helping people understand birds, migration, and conservation.In his latest book, Return of the Oystercatcher, Scott tells a series of remarkable conservation stories from around the world. While the book is filled with birds, what struck me most was that it is really a book about people. It is about people who refused to accept decline as inevitable, people who chose to act, and people who found ways for both birds and communities to thrive.This is a longer conversation, but Scott is such a gifted storyteller and communicator that the time flies by. We talk about conservation success, hope, human behaviour, Indigenous knowledge, Hawk Mountain, and why the lessons in this book are just as relevant to birders in South Africa as they are anywhere else in the world.So as we celebrate Episode 200 of The Birding Life Podcast, settle in and enjoy my conversation with Scott Weidensaul, author of Return of the Oystercatcher.Visit our online store to get your birding related merchandise at great prices https://www.thebirdinglife.com/online-storeIntro and outro music by Tony ZA https://soundcloud.com/tonyofficialzaLinks from show:Scott Weidensaul website http://www.scottweidensaul.com/

Welcome to another Book Club edition! In this episode, host Kimberley Cole sits down with Penny Cagan, industry veteran, academic at Columbia and NYU, and author of Managing Operational Risk in a Changing World. From navigating the "heady days" of Basel II in the immediate aftermath of Nick Leeson's Barings debacle to building the world's first operational risk database, Penny has spent her career gently exploding conventional thinking. She joins us to discuss why change initiatives fail when you only convince the C-suite, why the second line of defence needs to stop acting like an armchair referee, and how treating AI agents like messy human employees is the key to modern governance.

Why does connection, caregiving, parenting, friendship, and community feel so hard right now? Author Stephanie Malia Krauss is here to talk about the “weather” we're all living in right now: we're overtapped, overworked, overstimulated, and overwrought. And honestly, when I read that, I felt like she had put language to something so many of us are carrying around without even realizing it.Stephanie and I both know what it feels like to be raised by a community. We talk about the adults who showed up in small ways when we were kids: the friend's mom who always had a snack waiting, the counselor with animal crackers in her office, the parents who figured out rides, and the people who kept opening doors even when we weren't ready to tell the truth.This episode is all about the tiny ways people can help us feel human again, and why none of us were ever meant to do this alone.In this episode you'll hear about:How Stephanie's “dangerous weather” framework explains the exhaustion so many of us feel right nowWhat Stephanie and I learned from unlocked doors, team jackets, special snacks, and tiny check-insAskables, anchors, and activators, and why kids need more than one caring adult in their livesHow being praised for self-sufficiency, responsibility, and caregiving can become its own kind of trapResources & LinksCheck out Stephanie's new book, How We Thrive: Caring for Kids and Ourselves In a Changing World.Stephanie's other books include Making It: What Today's Kids Need for Tomorrow's World and Whole Child, Whole Life.This episode is sponsored by Are We Friends Yet?, Alex's book on building the support system you've been wanting.

Join the Leaving Egypt community on Substack: leavingegyptpodcast.substack.comIn this episode, Al Roxburgh and Jenny Sinclair speak with Bishop Guli Francis-Dehqani. As a bishop in the Church of England, she knows its challenges, both internal and external. She is sensitive not only to its wrestling with decline, but also with the need to reorient itself in a time when both society and the churches confront crisis on multiple levels. Her life has prepared her well for this moment. Experiences of disruption as a refugee have given her a deep confidence that God is both present and actively working, even as familiar structures undergo change, even as communities fragment. With realism and quiet courage, she embodies the struggle of a faithful pilgrim finding ways to “leave Egypt” within the confines of institutional life. Resisting the rush toward strategies and programmatic fixes, she prefers prayerful listening rather than seeking safety in control.

On today's episode of the Illumination by Modern Campus podcast, podcast host Shauna Cox was joined by Laura Skandera Trombley to discuss how liberal arts institutions can foster lifelong learning and student belonging while preparing learners for evolving workforce demands.

This week we spoke with Jason Czyz, President and CEO of the Institute of International Education (IIE), about the evolving landscape of global education and international student mobility. They explore how scholarship programs, study abroad experiences, and academic exchange initiatives continue to play a critical role in building cross-cultural understanding, workforce readiness, and global collaboration. The conversation also examines current enrollment and mobility trends, including shifts in international student enrollment in the U.S. and growing demand for experiential learning opportunities like internships abroad. Ultimately, it's a reminder that international education is not just about travel—it's about developing globally minded leaders, strengthening local and national economies, and preparing students to navigate an increasingly interconnected world. - - - -Connect With Our Host:Dustin Ramsdellhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/dustinramsdell/About The Enrollify Podcast Network:The Higher Ed Geek is a part of the Enrollify Podcast Network.

Host and producer of Our Changing World Claire Concannon chats to Emile today about volcanoes.

Welcome, folks, to The Kevin Jackson Show!First, let me start with gratitude. Happy Father's DayI put out few tweets that I would like to share with you.Happy Father's Day to conservative dads. Somewhere a progressive woman is posting, "My dad is my hero," right before explaining why men are the problem.Holy Mother of Hunter, whatever else you say about Trump, at least he knows how many children he has and he accepted them all.Because "safe spaces" rarely stop an intruder, but a good father always will.America's world's most criticized demographic and its most relied-upon one. What a coincidence.For one glorious day, the war on men pauses for cake.My birthday was on Sunday as well, and thanks to those who sent well-wishes.Thank you to everybody who sent birthday cards, gifts, well wishes, and contributions to what I now lovingly refer to as "Operation Costa Rica."Based on the current balance, I believe I can spend approximately three days there, consume several meals, enjoy a few adult beverages, and possibly stand near a golf course. Actually playing golf may require a supplemental appropriations bill.But seriously, thank you.Melissa got me one of those see-through travel fund banks a few months ago, and I can literally watch the money accumulate. It's like a conservative version of a Democrat budget. The difference is my jar actually contains money.And I will tell you this. Every time I look at it, I'm humbled. I really am.Now...Thank you also for not celebrating Juneteenth.I know that sounds harsh, but hear me out.America already has a holiday dedicated to liberty.It's called Independence Day.We don't need a committee meeting for freedom.We don't need Liberty 2.0.We don't need Freedom: The Sequel.July 4th already covers the subject matter.The Left has become obsessed with creating boutique holidays the way Starbucks creates seasonal drinks.Every historical footnote gets its own observance, awareness campaign, commemorative T-shirt, and eventually a federal employee day off.Pretty soon we'll have National Day of Recognizing the Committee That Planned the Meeting About the Event We Already Celebrated.Meanwhile, the rest of us are waiting for fireworks and barbecue.Speaking of fireworks...We've got a full plate of crow to serve today.And Democrats are once again seated at the head table.Last week Barack Obama officially opened his presidential library.Now, Democrats treated this thing like archaeologists had discovered King Tut's tomb.The media acted as though civilization itself had reached a new milestone.I watched the coverage and thought, "Did I miss something?"Because from where I sit, this felt less like the unveiling of a monument and more like the grand opening of a very expensive explanation.Think about it.The Obama presidency generated so much mythology that eventually they needed a building to store it all.And the event itself had all the cultural impact of finding out what happened to Jesse Jackson.In fact, quick question:Where were you when Jesse Jackson's political relevance was buried?Exactly.Neither do I.The media keeps trying to manufacture nostalgia for things the public already moved on from.It's like watching somebody hold a high school reunion for a graduating class that never actually liked each other.We'll get into that story because there were moments at that event that were so awkward they deserve their own documentary.Then there's Jeff Bezos.And ladies and gentlemen, we may have witnessed something rare.A billionaire experiencing reality.Bezos apparently decided to say something that employees at the Washington Post did not want to hear:See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

This ICYMI episode takes you back to Father's Day in 1990. Canada was in the midst of a culture shift as women joined the workforce in growing numbers, and men taking on more child-rearing responsibilities than past generations. With expectations around fatherhood changing in real time, Checkup asked: “Can Dad really take care of the kids?” Here's what some callers told Dale Goldhawk in 1990.

Host Jo Reed talks with Kirkus young readers' editor Laura Simeon about three middle-grade audiobooks that explore difficult subjects with honesty, empathy, and respect for young listeners. In Phoenix by Kimberly Brubaker Bradley, narrator Emma Ladji brings warmth and steadiness to young Harper's story as she navigates her parents' divorce, shifting friendships, and the rescued horse who becomes central to her new life. Karise Yansen's calm, measured narration of Matthew Fox's The Lovely Dark grounds a lyrical story of grief, loss, and the afterlife in vivid emotional reality. And in Tae Keller's When Tomorrow Burns, a seamless ensemble cast—Eddy Lee, Annie Q. Riegel, Sara Matsui-Colby, Emily Woo Zeller, and Tae Keller—captures the uncertainty and intensity of middle school friendships unfolding against the backdrop of climate anxiety and change. Together, these audiobooks recognize that middle-grade kids confront complicated situations and deserve stories that speak to those uncertainties with honesty and care.   Audiobooks Discussed: Phoenix by Kimberly Brubaker Bradley, read by Emma Ladji (Listening Library)   The Lovely Dark by Matthew Fox, read by Karise Yansen (Hachette Audio)   When Tomorrow Burns by Tae Keller, read by Eddy Lee, Annie Q. Riegel, Sara Matsui-Colby, and Emily Woo Zeller (Listening Library)     Support for Behind the Mic comes from HarperCollins Focus, and HarperCollins Christian Publishing, publishers of some of your favorite audiobooks and authors, including Reba McEntire, Bob Goff, Savannah Guthrie, Max Lucado, Lysa TerKeurst, and many more.

What if the very thing you've been apologizing for is actually your greatest advantage?Maybe you've changed industries. Switched directions. Collected experiences that don't seem to fit neatly together on a resume. While specialists often have a clear roadmap, many of us have careers that look more like a winding trail with unexpected turns along the way.In this episode of The Potentialist Podcast, I sit down with coach, leadership consultant and author Siobhán O'Riordan to explore why nonlinear career paths may be exactly what today's world needs. Drawing from her book, Reframe: How Generalists Thrive in a Changing World, Siobhán makes the case that generalists aren't scattered or unfocused. They're often the people connecting ideas, solving complex problems and helping organizations navigate change.In our conversation, you'll discover:• Why generalists make up nearly half the workforce, yet often feel invisible• How "looking around the corner" helps leaders spot opportunities others miss• How to tell your career story with confidence, even if your path doesn't look linear• What generalists need from managers, mentors and workplaces to do their best workIf you've ever wondered how to explain your twists, turns, pivots or unexpected detours, this conversation will help you see them through a completely different lens.Your career path may not be messy after all. It might just be evidence that you're built to connect dots others can't see.

It's our weekly catch up with RNZ Podcast Our Changing World's host Claire Concannon. Today she's talking to Jesse about the realm of molecular biology.

Have you ever felt like you're being called toward something new, but you can't quite name it yet?You know something is changing.You know something no longer fits.But every time you try to force clarity, nothing comes.In this episode, Vickie Dickson explores the uncomfortable space between identities. The place where the old version of you is no longer a fit, but the new version hasn't fully emerged.From shifting businesses and changing relationships to content that suddenly feels stale, Vickie shares why so many entrepreneurs are feeling untethered right now and why that might not be a problem to solve.Together, we'll explore the pressure to have all the answers, the exhaustion many entrepreneurs are experiencing, the myth of the "quantum leap," and what it really means to trust yourself through periods of uncertainty and transformation. Based on reflections from a recent Designed to Profit training and Vickie's own experiences navigating major life and business decisions, this episode is an invitation to stop performing certainty and start listening to what is trying to emerge.In This Episode:Why so many entrepreneurs feel disconnected from their content right nowThe emotional reality of living between old and emerging identitiesHow AI, social media, and information overload are impacting our nervous systemsThe hidden cost of forcing clarity before it's readyWhy the online space is flooded with certainty but starving for truthThe problem with how "quantum leaps" are marketed onlineWhat happens when you're creating content from an identity you've already outgrownWhy becoming is rarely glamorous and often feels like grief, exhaustion, and uncertaintyThe role entrepreneurs play in leading through transformationReflection questions to help you navigate your own season of becomingReflection QuestionsWhat am I no longer willing to carry?What doesn't come with me into this next chapter?Where am I pretending something still fits?Where am I clinging to something that is no longer for me?Where am I performing consistency instead of telling the truth?What part of my identity has already expired?What decision am I trying to force because I'm uncomfortable not knowing?What would happen if I stopped rushing?Resources MentionedDesigned to Profit MembershipHuman Design readingsIf this episode resonated with you, share it with a friend who may be navigating their own season of change and becoming.You don't have to have it all figured out to be of value.Sometimes the most powerful thing you can do is create enough space to hear what's trying to emerge next.

For billions of people around the globe, the FIFA World Cup is the ultimate sporting event. But what does the tournament reveal about the world beyond the pitch? This week, we welcome Financial Times journalist and New York Times bestselling author Simon Kuper to discuss his latest book, "World Cup Fever: A Soccer Journey in Nine Tournaments." Drawing on more than three decades of firsthand reporting from World Cups spanning Italy 1990 to Qatar 2022, Kuper reflects on how football's greatest spectacle has evolved — and what that evolution says about politics, culture, globalization, nationalism, media, money, and power. Far more than memorable matches and legendary players, we explore the World Cup as a unique lens through which to view modern history itself. Kuper recounts his experiences covering tournaments staged amid political upheaval, examines FIFA's transformation from a relatively modest governing body into a global commercial powerhouse, and reflects on the growing tensions between football's grassroots appeal and the immense corporate and geopolitical forces that now surround the game. Along the way, we discuss how World Cups have served as stages for dictators and democracies alike, why the tournament remains one of the few truly shared global cultural experiences, and whether the event has become more accessible — or more distant — from the ordinary fans whose passion fuels it. + + +  SUPPORT THE SHOW:  Buy Us a Coffee: https://ko-fi.com/goodseatsstillavailable The "Good Seats" Store: http://tee.pub/lic/RdiDZzQeHSY BUY THE BOOK:  "World Cup Fever: A Soccer Journey in Nine Tournaments": https://amzn.to/4dV2SKN SPONSOR THANKS:  Old School Shirts.com (10% off promo code: GOODSEATS): https://oldschoolshirts.com/goodseats Royal Retros (10% off promo code: SEATS): https://www.503-sports.com?aff=2 FIND AND FOLLOW: Linktree: https://linktr.ee/GoodSeatsStillAvailable Web: https://goodseatsstillavailable.com/ Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/goodseatsstillavailable.com X/Twitter: https://twitter.com/GoodSeatsStill YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@goodseatsstillavailable Threads: https://www.threads.net/@goodseatsstillavailable Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/goodseatsstillavailable/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/GoodSeatsStillAvailable/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/good-seats-still-available/

In this episode, I sit down with Mariana Deluera, a geopolitical risk analyst whose life has been shaped by movement, adaptation, and the search for belonging.Mariana reflects on growing up across five countries as the daughter of a Mexican diplomat. She shares what it was like to become repeatedly uprooted and re-rooted, and how returning to Mexico as a teenager left her feeling both at home and like a foreigner.We talk about the influence of her mother and grandmother, two women whose very different life journeys shaped her outlook, as well as her path from immigration and asylum work into geopolitical analysis during the uncertainty of the COVID pandemic.In the latter part of the conversation, Mariana reflects on how living between cultures influences the way she thinks about geopolitical risk today, the importance of staying open to different perspectives, and why adaptability matters in a rapidly changing world.Recorded on 23 April 2026.Connect with Mariana on LinkedIn at linkedin.com/in/mariana-deluera-aa9626142.Instagram: @at.the.coalfaceAnd don't forget to subscribe to At the Coalface for new episodes every two weeks.Help us produce more episodes by becoming a supporter.

Authoritarianism is gaining ground in democracies around the world—often with populist, nativist rhetoric. In the United States, this trend threatens to demolish democratic government. And shifts in American foreign policy are also uprooting the previous world order around the globe.

William Kristol is editor-at-large at The Bulwark and cohost of the podcast Conversations with Bill Kristol. He's also a senior fellow with the Charles F. Kettering Foundation.

Katia Bolotin is a Torah educator, speaker, and author, based in Israel. Her thought-provoking articles and audio talks highlight the enduring relevance of Torah in our ever-changing world. Katia's focus on personal growth harmonizes with the Torah's wisdom of how to best cultivate and maintain that growth. Katia is also a pianist, songwriter, and composer of contemporary classical music. Her original musical compositions can be streamed at Katia Bolotin on SoundCloud. Katia released an insightful book called Timeless Torah Wisdom: Making It Relevant For Our Ever-Changing World that is the subject of this interview. Katia teaches us about the importance of spiritual wealth. While many of us chase monetary wealth, a perfect body, and relationships, Katia helps us understand that those things are only the MEANS to and END. The marriage, the flat stomach, the gorgeous house, and everything else that we want are not the end in itself. Katia shows us how to see beyond the superficial qualities of someone or something that we love and look beyond it to see that it was Hashem who created it for us. She gives us a great exercise to teach us how to see Hashem as the Source of everything, and how to internalize that realization. Katia discusses the importance of seeing every obstacle and challenge in our lives at a set up, and not as a set back. She teaches us to apply Torah wisdom to changing our perspective on any challenge, and thereby using Torah to help us OVERCOME our challenges. "When you change the way you see things, the things that you see change."In this poignant conversation, we learn how to go from being a victim to being a victor, just like Joseph did when he found himself thrown into a pit by his brothers. If he thought of himself as being left in a pit to die, he would have drowned in his victimhood. Instead, he looked at himself as being sent into the pit for a higher purpose, which later revealed itself when he became a leader in Egypt, and saved the people (including his own family) from famine. We are all put into this world to achieve our own unique purpose--NOBODY else can do it for us. We may look or dress the same, but our intentions are different; our life experiences are different, and because of that, the way we approach people and situations is different. It is that very difference that helps us carry out our mission.Throughout or conversation, Katia shared beautiful nuggets of knowledge on how to use ancient Torah wisdom to navigate the challenges we face in life today.Katia's Book: Timeless Torah Wisdom: Making It Relevant For An Ever-Changing World, can be purchased on Amazon:https://www.amazon.com/Making-Relevant-Timeless-Torah-wisdom/dp/B0FRSWS2B2/ref=sr_1_1?crid=P8LUA7J5YRT9&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.pLUw-JJXdgp3xgp_b94jM1HQZa-Ja40W1gMI2Dzrh5PSNiHuwjNeUWAMS-S7yR7poFdbcIrdax3Dw5usrzdhwvQeecJMS0_MdQPKMOsAGOzNH82GA9UaF8krLVJg9wsb4YTsjO6uahoDQw9DEC2s4dx2tQHenUkKe-ZabnISkUllnLHBB5IpJLCQN__m_DeEuyG-sNnkgZ_-9u8wFjzYOu30DlZXJm3O27CNiMMekJs.o3HzKgHQGThEiSOESCXHa15oXXy_Q7hYiJoq_FJkM5I&dib_tag=se&keywords=katia+bolotin&qid=1780415287&sprefix=katia+bol%2Caps%2C176&sr=8-1If you would like to rediscover who you are on a soul level and unlock a life of self-worth and authenticity, click the link to book a free discovery call with Vera Kessler:https://innerlifecoachingwithvera.com/Contact email: atrebbetzins@gmail.com

What makes a story feel truly mythic? Many writers assume mythic fiction comes from borrowing archetypes, retelling old myths, or layering symbolic imagery into a story. While there is immense value in studying mythology, fairy tales, folklore, and archetypal storytelling traditions, something important has been lost in many modern conversations about mythic fiction. The old myths aren't powerful merely because of their plot structure or symbolism. They are powerful because they emerged from their creator's living relationship with symbol, transformation, mystery, dream, and the deeper psyche. In this episode, I explore: •    Why so much modern "mythic storytelling" can feel strangely hollow  •    The difference between inherited myth and living myth  •    Why writers often approach archetypes from the outside in  •    How mythic resonance actually emerges in story  •    Why mythic storytelling matters during times of cultural transformation  •    How writers can reconnect to the symbolic imagination itself  What if the role of the writer is not simply to preserve mythology, but to participate in it? If you've ever wanted to write stories that feel more resonant, symbolic, emotionally alive, or spiritually meaningful, this episode explores the deeper source from which mythic fiction arises. 02:45 How Modern Writers Understand Mythic Fiction and Archetypal Storytelling 03:58 The Mythological and Folk Tale Lens for Mythic Fiction 04:32 The Anthropological & Psychological Lens for Mythic Fiction 05:10 Pop Culture & the Mythic Retelling 06:27 Studying Myth vs. Writing Mythic Fiction 09:03 Borrowing vs. Accessing Symbols 11:17 Inherited Myth vs. Living Myth 12:16 Mythic Fiction in Cultural Times of Transformation 13:43 Our Relationship to the Old Stories Grows Thin 14:55 Mythic Fiction Requires the Partnership of Intuition and Intellect 16:11 Mythic Fiction Reconnects Writers to the Deep Source of Story 18:38 The Need for New Myths in a Changing World 20:15 New Myths, Ancient Roots 21:15 Participating in Myth as Much as Preserving It 21:59 Reconnecting to Myth in Your Own Writing Process Read the transcript: https://helpingwritersbecomeauthors.com/how-to-write-mythic-fiction LINKS & RESOURCES Want More? This conversation connects deeply to my class Alchemizing Plot, Character, & Theme: https://kmweilandstore.com/b/plot-character-theme-class In this masterclass, I explore how plot, character, and theme act as one cohesive symbolic structure capable of creating stories with emotional resonance, narrative momentum, and deeper thematic meaning. We'll talk about: •    Aligning inner and outer arcs  •    Creating stories that feel alive from the inside out  •    Integrating plot, character, and theme organically  •    Writing stories with greater depth and cohesion

Long lived organisms like trees face a lot of challenges throughout their lifetime. Disturbances big and small coupled with climate change are going to continue to stress trees wherever they grow. Which trees have the highest capacity to deal with said stresses? We don't know until we go looking. That is what drives scientists like Dr. Jill Hamilton. Join us as we look at how she is using poplars, spruce, and ash to understand how trees and their hybrids may or may not have what it takes to survive climate stress.

Modern life has become a gauntlet of "dangerous weather" that frequently strips away our most basic human needs.In this episode, Emily speaks with author and strategist Stephanie Malia Kraus about her book, How We Thrive, and the essential practice of "rehumaning." Stephanie breaks down the four systemic forces, from hustle culture to addictive tech, that undermine our well-being and offers a roadmap for reclaiming play, wonder, and rest. The discussion bridges the gap between ancient Hawaiian wayfinding and modern neuroscience, highlighting the critical importance of restorative "downstates" and simple regulation tools for navigating an increasingly overstimulated world.Listen and Learn:How the Hawaiian tradition of Wayfinding teaches us to navigate a world that has "shifted on its axis" by anchoring into timeless human essentials, and influenced Stephanie's bookWhy the friction you feel in parenting isn't a personal failure, but a biological mismatch between our human nature and modern society Recognizing the four universal forces: Overtapped, Overworked, Overstimulated, and Overwrought, and understanding why feeling depleted isn't a personal failure, but a natural response to the "stormy" conditions of modern living Why our modern "social jet lag", the mismatch between our hectic schedules and our biological needs, is fueling a youth mental health crisis, and how reclaiming "human essentials" like sleep, play, and internal attunement can act as a biological superpower for both parents and teens How the practices of celebrating small wins, contributing to others, and nurturing an inborn sense of belief act as biological shields that restore our dignity and spark a protective sense of hope even in the most difficult seasons of life How "lemon squeezes", a simple technique of tensing and releasing your muscles for 20 seconds, uses the science of progressive muscle relaxation to signal safety to your nervous system and bring your body back into balance in less than a minute Resources:How We Thrive: Caring for Kids and Ourselves in a Changing World https://bookshop.org/a/30734/9781071957561 https://rehumaningourlives.substack.com/https://www.rehumaning.com/Connect with Stephanie on Social Media: https://www.youtube.com/@StephanieMaliaKrausshttps://www.linkedin.com/in/stephaniemaliakrauss/https://www.instagram.com/stephaniemaliakrauss/ About Stephanie Malia KraussStephanie Malia Krauss is an author, speaker, and strategist focused on rehumaning childhood and our lives.

In the season three premiere episode featuring Mark Levin and Yael Eckstein of the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews, listeners are invited to explore the pressing issues that the world faces today. As tensions rise globally, particularly in the Middle East, the conversation centers around the importance of Judeo-Christian values and the unity between Christians and Jews in confronting the challenges of our time. Levin and Eckstein begin by addressing the current geopolitical landscape, focusing on the ongoing conflict involving Israel and Iran. They highlight the significance of standing together in the face of adversity, emphasizing how both faiths share a common goal of sanctifying life, as opposed to the ideologies that promote death and violence. This clash of civilizations is not just a political issue; it is deeply rooted in spiritual warfare, as Eckstein articulates so eloquently. As the conversation unfolds, the two delve into the alarming rise of anti-Semitism and cultural decay that has permeated Western society. They discuss how the erosion of faith and values leads to a society that forgets its foundational principles. Eckstein makes a compelling case for the necessity of faith as a counterweight to this decay, urging listeners to recognize the spiritual battle at hand. One of the most poignant moments in the episode is when Eckstein speaks about the humanitarian work being done by the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews. With a mission to support those in need, the Fellowship embodies the values of compassion and unity. They are actively involved in providing aid in Israel and beyond, showcasing the power of fellowship in action. The episode concludes with a call to action, encouraging listeners to stand firm in their beliefs and to engage in the fight against the forces of darkness that seek to divide. Eckstein's message is clear: when we come together in faith and fellowship, we can illuminate the world and make a significant impact. This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in understanding the current landscape of faith, culture, and politics. Levin and Eckstein provide valuable insights that remind us of the importance of unity and the shared values that can guide us through these challenging times. Tune in now to be inspired and informed.

This is where it gets spicy. Part two kicks off with a crash course in policy experiments and why state-vs-state competition could be America's cheat code—or its downfall. If you've ever raged at why politicians keep talking but nothing gets fixed (homelessness, out-of-control rents, broken education system), Bill Gurley is right there with you—AND he's backing up his rant with receipts. We peel back what actually works in places like Austin and Houston—and why so much good policy gets blocked by bad incentives and performative politics. Get ready for eye-popping stories about lobbyists, broken U.S. systems versus what works in Germany and China, and why American media coverage can't keep up. Plus, we go deep on the future of AI—where Bill is refreshingly candid about both the bubble and the opportunity (if you're not learning these tools, what are you even doing?!). Bill breaks down exactly who loses their jobs, how schools and kids can weaponize curiosity, and why passion—not just hard work—protects you from getting left behind. Wrapping up, we riff on Bill's new book “Running Down a Dream,” the cruel illusion of the “safe” path, and why genius (and VC success) is a young person's game. This is SO much more than tech talk—this is your cheat sheet for thriving in a world that's never stopping.
