After a rare week off, the UFC is back in action this weekend. On Saturday, UFC Vegas 107 goes down at the World's Mightiest APEX, headlined by a Top 5 women's flyweight matchup between Erin Blanchfield and Maycee Barber, with possible title implications on the line. But before that happens, Mateusz Gamrot and Ludovit Klein mix it up in a pivotal lightweight contest, and nine other bouts of varying import take place. And after a brief hiatus, No Bets Barred is back to break down all the action this weekend. This week, host Jed Meshew flies solo to preview this underwhelming APEX card before next weekend's big UFC 316 event. Topics discussed include what Blanchfield and Barber are fighting for, how Klein will fare in his big opportunity to climb the lightweight ladder, which underdogs are live on Saturday, the latest updates on The Climb, and more.

What if the very strategies that saved you as a child are now sabotaging your adult relationships? In Part 2 of Tony's series on emotional immaturity, discover why your most persistent relationship struggles aren't character flaws—they're outdated survival software still running in the background of your life. Through the powerful ACT metaphor of "The Man in the Hole," you'll understand why working harder with familiar emotional tools only digs you deeper into relationship problems. When someone offers you a ladder out of your patterns, why do you keep trying to dig with it instead? This episode reveals how to recognize when it's time to put down the shovel of old coping strategies and climb toward something completely different. Meet the clients who've made this transformation: the chronic fixer who learned to ask "what do you need from me?" instead of immediately solving, the humor-deflector who shocked a room into silence by sharing something real, and the lifelong people-pleaser whose hands shook as she said "no" for the first time—and discovered her marriage actually got stronger. You'll explore Terry Real's revolutionary insight that childhood adaptations become adult roadblocks, learn the art of re-parenting yourself with compassion instead of criticism, and discover why emotional maturity isn't about never falling into old patterns—it's about recognizing when you're there and having new tools to respond. Whether you struggle with hypervigilance, perfectionism, control issues, or people-pleasing tendencies, this episode offers a shame-free framework for honoring your inner child's brilliant survival strategies while empowering your adult self to take the lead. Because growth isn't about eliminating your protective parts—it's about expanding your repertoire of responses and choosing consciously instead of reacting automatically. Ready to stop digging and start climbing? Your ladder awaits. 00:00 Introduction and Recap 01:23 The Story of Tyler 03:53 Tyler's Realization and Therapy 09:39 Acceptance and Commitment Therapy Metaphor 15:46 Revisiting Emotional Immaturity 19:30 Reparenting Yourself 25:05 Examples of Reparenting in Action 29:00 Exploring Emotional Immaturity Traits 40:54 Recognizing and Validating Emotions 42:47 Dependence on External Validation 48:54 Taking Ownership and Accountability 51:49 Mind Reading and Communication 01:03:55 Hypervigilance and Emotional Containment 01:07:12 Perfectionism and Control 01:11:49 Integration and Emotional Maturity 01:15:57 Real-Life Examples of Emotional Growth 01:22:05 The Journey of Emotional Maturity

Core values are essential—but too often, they don't show us how to actually lead people, develop ourselves, or build high-performing teams. In this kickoff to our 14-part Sherpa Code series, we dive into why military values are necessary but incomplete, and why every leader needs a clearly defined code to climb with others. This episode lays the foundation for the principles ahead—and invites you to stop climbing alone.Team Conversation Prompts:What are the unofficial values of your team—and how are they showing up in behavior?What personal values do you lead with daily, and which are aspirational?Have you ever been part of a team that had values but no code? What happened?

Shoot us a Text.Episode #1054: We're kicking off Tuesday week with a look at surging used car sales and shrinking supply, BYD's aggressive EV price cuts in China, and a Waffle House partnership that brings hash browns and high-speed charging together in the South.Show Notes with links:Automotive News released its top Used Car retailers list showing that the stabilizing of the 2024 market led to some big gains. However, the current complexities and quickly shrinking market day supply is testing even the best players.Used-only dealers like CarMax, Carvana, and DriveTime saw strong 2024 growth as supply chains normalized, with Carvana up 33% year-over-year.Dealers are creatively sourcing inventory—prioritizing trade-ins and direct-from-customer purchases to avoid costly auctions.The current used vehicle supply stands at just a 43-day market supply, the lowest since 2021, with lower-price vehicles hardest to find.Tariff fears have driven consumers to buy quickly, pushing prices for the top 50 used models to an average of nearly $29,000“There isn't a lot of room for error anymore in the post-COVID used-car world,” said Bill Solko, dealer principal of Automotive Avenues.Meanwhile Cox Automotive's Jonathan Smoke warned, 2025 is going to be a roller coaster for this industry,” BYD just launched a fresh round of EV price cuts in China, triggering a market shake-up that's pummeling stocks and ramping pressure on rivals like Tesla.BYD slashed prices across several models, including a 20% cut on the sub-$10,000 Seagull hatchback now priced at an equivalent of $7,780The Chinese EV market is nearing 50% penetration — five times the U.S. rate — largely due to aggressive pricing strategies.EV maker stocks, including BYD, Li Auto, and Geely, fell sharply after the announcement, signaling investor anxiety.BYD's growing profit cushion from 2019–2024 gives it room to undercut less profitable competitors.“This new price war will put even more pressure on Tesla,” Electrek reported, especially as new players like Xiaomi ramp up.In a match made in Southern heaven, bp pulse and Waffle House are joining forces to bring 400kW ultrafast EV charging to your next roadside breakfast stop.Starting in 2026, Waffle House locations across Georgia, Texas, Florida, and beyond will host six-bay charging stations.The chargers will support both CCS and NACS connectors and deliver up to 200 miles of range in about 15 minutes.The 24/7 diner vibe adds much-needed comfort and reliability to the EV charging experience.This builds on bp pulse's growing U.S. network, which includes partnerships with Hertz and 8,000+ retail locations.“Charging up while fueling up on an All-Star Special will be convenient and fast,” said Waffle House Innovation Director David Repp.Join Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier every morning for the Automotive State of the Union podcast as they connect the dots across car dealerships, retail trends, emerging tech like AI, and cultural shifts—bringing clarity, speed, and people-first insight to automotive leaders navigating a rapidly changing industry.Get the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/

Chelsea shares the inspiration behind her ACOTAR-themed cookbook, which creatively brings meals from the beloved fantasy series into real-life kitchens. She discusses her background in food blogging and her goal of making recipes accessible for all skill levels, noting that the book is designed not just for cooking but for fans to deepen their connection with the series. The cookbook features sections inspired by the different courts and characters, including desserts tied to each court and cocktails based on the inner circle. Chelsea also recounts the challenges of recipe development, especially while postpartum, and highlights the joy and community that came from sharing her fandom through food. The episode closes with heartfelt reflections on the power of nostalgia and how food can enrich the experience of revisiting favorite fantasy stories."Did you guys know that there is an unofficial ACOTAR Cookbook that walks even the most novice cooks and bakers through the process of cooking and creating classic recipes from our most cherished  A Court of Thorns & Roses book series?!

When a father's greatest nightmare strikes his family not once but twice, can Heaven still find a way to spark hope?Idaho rancher, husband, and devoted father Eldon Buchanan returns to Latter-day Lights to share the sacred tender mercies that steadied him after losing his son to suicide: Feeling the invisible strength of his son hoisting boulders for his memorial, a climb up Mount Borah where the Northern Lights felt like an embrace from Heaven, and a New Year's graveside visit where impossibly perfect snowflakes drifted down on him, as though signed by his boys' own hands.In this raw retelling, Eldon shows how the Savior's love reaches through depression's deepest shadows with quiet, unmistakable reminders: You are seen, and no child slips from His grasp.If you—or someone you love—are wrestling with grief or suicidal despair, Eldon's witness offers heartfelt advice and uplifting reasons to keep going: Even shattered hearts can experience miracles, and sorrow can be transformed into an unshakable testimony—that Christ never leaves His wounded ones alone.*** Please SHARE Eldon's story and help us spread hope and light to others. ***To WATCH this episode, visit: https://youtu.be/9IqH01jFAZc-----To WATCH Eldon's first episode on Latter-Day Lights, visit: https://youtu.be/3phtG9B-2GkTo WATCH Eldon's second episode on Latter-Day Lights, visit: https://youtu.be/aSJ6p0aDI00-----Keep updated with us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/latter.day.lights/Follow us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/latterdaylightsAlso, if you have a faith-promoting or inspiring story, or know someone who does, please let us know by going to https://www.latterdaylights.com and reaching out to us.

While many want to hide their heads in the sand and pretend the trade war woes are temporary, permanent changes are currently being made including Ford Motors announcing a rise of $2,000 per vehicle due to manufacturing problems under the tarrif system. Prices are rising both in China and the United States with no clear "winner." One thing is for sure. The consumer and the hard working American is not the winner. Nor are the businesses depending on imports. Simultaneously, Trump is pushing more socialist policies on top of these already existing issues. For example, he is now urging the GOP to do what Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton had been asking for. Raising taxes on the "rich," and by that, he means raising the tax bracket in those who make 2.5 million dollars annually from 37% to 39.6%. This further effects the pricing of products, services as well as the rate of employment for these businesses. Trump is getting suspiciously closer to the idea of "owning nothing and being happy" as The World Economic Forum promotes. He's even saying in a strange television interview that little girls shouldn't own so many dolls or pencils... whatever that's supposed to mean... The Federal Reserve, one of the biggest scurges on humanity is keeping interest rates unchanged at 4.25 - 4.5% as they warn about stagflation. Meanwhile, the CBDC system is being revealed and billionaires are building bunkers across the board. Are you prepared? Stay tuned for more from WAM!

Hour 2 of Baskin and Phelps with Tom Withers filling in for Andy Baskin

One of the compliments I receive most often in my work is something along the lines of:“You ask such great questions.”This probably comes after I ask someone some questions that I'm curious about. You get better at asking questions when you begin seeing them as a tool to have better and more valuable conversations. Questions set the frame of the discussion, and so leading someone is often about questions rather than making statements. Questions can be used for a variety of different purposes. Today I wanted to outline 5-levels of value oriented by particular questions that people ask of me and ask themselves. If you want to create/expand value, ask questions higher up the ladder.The Value Ladder: 5-Levels of Questions for Leaders1. “What do I do?”When you are working in a new role you've never been in before, you get tripped up on the question “What do I do next?” When you don't know what to do, you don't act. And so you wait or search for someone or something that can tell you what to do. Most often, this is a way of procrastination. You can't act until you clearly see a specific, short-term step and action you can take. What do I do is the lowest leverage and least valuable question to ask of yourself or others. But it is often the place we start.2. “How do I do it?”Many people take similar actions, but not all get the same results. Why? When you don't understand the “why” behind how something works, you lack proper form. Form is “how” you do something. “How” is a question about form. How helps get you to feel/experience the action rather than intellectually understanding it. How is for practitioners seeking to learn how to apply something they've learned. How is for doers… in an organization, team, community, or political structure. “How” is, relatively low value. Often, to succeed with how, you sell something at lower price points and therefore must have a large audience.This is why “how” is the most prevalent form of content on Youtube, for example. “How” is also the easiest question to waste your time on. “How” is a great game of telephone. You read someone else's “how” and translate it poorly to your own situation and then get frustrated by not getting the right results.3. “Who?”When you wake up to the limits of your own “doing” you begin to see the benefit of collaboration, hiring, delegation and managing and leading a team.Who is the first leadership question outside of self-leadership. Who is the shift from Founder-Doer to CEO-Manager, from actor to recruiter. Who marks the beginning of systems-level questions. Before you get to “who” you focus on your input into the system.When CEO's come to me with struggles for their personal productivity, I often take them out of “how” questions and into “who” questions. I'm less interested in them and more in the teams and systems that support them.4. “Where should we go?”Systems need direction. “Where?” charts the course. “Where” is about the future, whereas the previous questions are more about the present. Where questions are about owning the responsibility of taking people into the unkown. If organizations don't know where they are going, then everyone is working out of sync and unison. Where is one of the greatest possible filter questions because it completely changes the course of a company or team. Change the where, change everything. A where question for Kodak Cameras was: “Double down on Film, or Enter the Digital Camera Space?” A question for NASA is: “Moon or Mars next?” As you can see, asking “Where” is risky. This is why “Where” is the CEO's question. With “Where?” there are consequences, or regret. Aligns a system to a destination, puts resources on the line, and creates definitive direction.The trick of understanding organizations, communities, and political parties is that they crave direction. They ask, “Where are we going…together?”5. “What does it mean?”The final level of value is in meaning questions. When you're so distracted by the doing of things, you try to ignore lives deeper questions around meaning or meaninglessness.The good news is that we are meaning-making machines. Meaning making is about how we interpret the events around us, and how we contextualize every other question listed above. The highest levels are about context.In meaning questions, you are playing with the container, not the contained. You start playing with the rules, the stadium, the field, not the game or players on the field. You start working on the museum rather than the art sitting in it. Meaning is about creating context, and context is how we come to understand ourselves and the world. Context creators, meaning makers are storytellers. This is why Steve Jobs didn't say, “The most powerful person in the world is the doer, the creator.” He said,“The most powerful person in the world is the storyteller.”Stories write and create invisible scripts and lines of action. Leaders working at this deeper level are playing a more invisible game of power and creation that comes from generating systems without being stuck inside of them. These leaders allow, encourage, and generate the success of others without being seen or heard.“A leader is best when people barely know he exists, when his work is done, his aim fulfilled, they will say: we did it ourselves.” Lao TzuThese inventors challenge our current frame of reality. They see outside of the container. If Tom's Shoes invents “Buy one pair of shoes, donate one pair of shoes” as a way of making our consumption, and then other companies follow suit, eventually forgetting the original creator of such an idea or protocol. Tom created new meaning.Climb the Ladder of Your Own QuestionsThe next time you feel stuck, I want to offer a little challenge:Don't immediately look for a better answer.Ask:Am I even asking the right question?What level of the ladder am I playing on right now?What happens if I climb one rung higher?

Will Acuff's entrepreneurial journey is a powerful testament to purpose-driven innovation and resilience. His path began with a college band and evolved into a mission to create a meaningful impact through community empowerment. After a life-changing trip to Nairobi and years in a low-income Nashville neighborhood, Will and his wife, Tiffany, co-founded Corner to Corner, a nonprofit that equips underserved individuals to launch their own businesses. As the organization grew, Will stepped back from leadership to focus on expansion and fundraising. Inspired by personal challenges, including parenting a child with disabilities, Will then authored No Elevator to Everest, a heartfelt book about resilience, purpose, and finding joy in the face of life's steepest climbs.

*Please note: At 9:01, Simon and Cory have a discussion about suicide.What happens after we attain success and glory? Where do you go when there's nowhere left to run from yourself?In Part 2 of my conversation with Cory Richards, Cory explains why reaching the summit of Everest marked the beginning of a long, painful fall from grace. After his tumultuous decision to retire from climbing, Cory found himself lost and confused about his true identity. At the same time, he was forced to grapple with multiple life-shattering events at once -- some of his own making.In this episode, we discuss the difference between identity and purpose, the skills Cory learned to cope with multiple tragedies, and why the more we ignore life's harshest lessons, the louder they become.Listen to Part 1 here or watch it on YouTube.This…is A Bit of Optimism.For more on Cory Richards and his work, check out:coryrichards.com
