Today, Morgan, Les, Matthew, and Jess discuss the latest diplomatic push around Ukraine, following a flurry of high-level meetings at Davos and beyond. President Trump and President Zelensky met for more than an hour as the World Economic Forum wrapped up, while Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff traveled to Russia to meet with Vladimir Putin. For the first time since the war began, American, Ukrainian, and Russian officials are now slated to meet face-to-face in Abu Dhabi to discuss military and security issues, raising questions about whether momentum toward a negotiated settlement is finally building.But are we actually any closer to peace? What would it take for Putin to seriously engage, given his repeated rejection of past proposals and the political risks he faces at home? Is Trump's increasingly tough rhetoric a signal of leverage, hinting at greater military support for Ukraine if diplomacy fails, or a strategy to give Putin a face-saving off-ramp? @morganlroach@lestermunson@WMattHayden@NotTVJessJonesLike what we're doing here?

On the latest episode of the Omnichannel Marketer, I had the pleasure of speaking with Colin Flood, VP of Marketing at Unreal Snacks. ‍Unreal Snacks is a better-for-you chocolate snack brand.‍Unreal Snacks started in convenience and drug stores (CVS, Walgreens) ten years ago and through trial and error made it to natural grocery, where it gained the traction required to get to successful in mainstream grocery and convenience..‍True to this podcast, today Unreal Snacks has omnichannel distribution. ‍Colin defines Omnichannel as the strategy of getting in front of your customers (advertising, purchase, and consumption) where they are and being presented as a solution for hunger in a way that drives growth and scale.‍For Unreal Snacks, that is the DTC website, Amazon, and 25,000 doors across natural, traditional grocery, and club stores. ‍You can find Unreal Snack products Whole Foods, Wegmans, Sprouts, Publix, and Costco.‍The keys to success on retail growth have been:‍1️⃣ The right retailer (natural) 2️⃣ Closer to or at cash registers (not the candy aisle, which people avoid)3️⃣ Part of seasonal campaign promotions (Valentine's Day, Halloween etc).4️⃣ Better for you messaging calling people back to category‍Brian describes this placement as “lower funnel,” the offline equivalent of being closer to the add to cart button. ‍Brian is excited about the new trends in digital for the grocery category.‍It's worth pointing out that Unreal chocolate can melt, so shipping is a challenge and requires ice packs in certain regions at certain times of the year.‍But he sees local delivery / in-store pickup and retail marketing platform spend as new digital levers that grocery marketers can pull to stimulate growth. ‍Thanks Colin for sharing your story and perspective.

Tom Curran predicts a closer game than most are expecting

Send us a textShari stops by the show to discuss, new music, performing the National Anthem of Nascar, health and so much more....****Embodying the heart and soul of country music, Southwestern songstress Shari Rowe redefines what it means to captivate. Bringing authenticity, intentionality, and a timeless blend of country and americana, Rowe's “voice, personality, and story will mesmerize you” (Missy, Center Stage Magazine). From international tours in Poland to charity events, to opening for big name artists like Wynonna Judd and LeAnn Rimes, Rowe has seen all sides of the industry and proven her invaluable talent. Closer to home, the Arizonan continues to champion rising talent and the spirit of true country music as co-host of the local radio series Arizona on the Rise. Shari Rowe isn't just a trailblazer—she's a guiding light in modern country music. With every song she reminds us where the genre has been, and where it's headed next.After facing a frightening health scare, country singer-songwriter Shari Rowe turned to music for strength. Her upcoming single, “Too Good To Go,” began as a poem written the night she was told she might have Multiple Myeloma, a form of blood cancer. What started as fear turned into gratitude, transforming into one of her most personal and powerful songs to date. Weeks later, doctors confirmed a rare but non-life-threatening autoimmune condition, but the song remains a heartfelt reminder that life is, indeed, too good to go.“I love that I've got so much to lose — that line is the heartbeat of the song.” Shari Rowe ****If you would like to contact the show about being a guest, please email us at Dauna@bettertopodcast.comFollow us on Social MediaInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/author_d.m.needom/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/bettertopodcastwithdmneedomIntro and Outro music compliments of Fast Suzi©2025 Better To...Podcast with D.

What if the “dumb party metal” you grew up with turned out to be one of the sharpest mirrors of 1980s America? In this episode of Dig Me Out: 80s Metal, we sit down with author, professor, and 80s tribute-band guitarist Jesse Kavadlo to talk about his new book Rock of Pages: The Literary Tradition of 1980s Heavy Metal and why those songs about girls, demons, and good times were actually wrestling with nuclear fear, censorship, and what it meant to grow up under the Cold War.Jesse walks us through how 80s metal lyrics connect to classic literature, from Def Leppard reimagining Genesis and Paradise Lost to Metallica and Ozzy Osbourne grappling with existential dread, addiction, and the possibility of global annihilation. We dig into the PMRC hearings and satanic panic, the way MTV videos turned escapism into literal chains and magic portals, and how Stranger Things surprisingly nails the mix of danger and freedom that metal kids actually felt in the 80s. Along the way, we talk subculture vs. streaming-era playlists, why Dio and Iron Maiden might be the true heirs of Romantic poetry, and how heavy metal may have nudged the Cold War toward its end at the Moscow Music Peace Festival.If you care about 80s heavy metal, the MTV era, or just love thinking about how songs work under the hood, this episode is for you. Fans of Iron Maiden, Metallica, Ozzy Osbourne, Van Halen, Mötley Crüe, Poison, Bon Jovi, Dio, and even Steel Panther's parody universe will hear this music in a new way. And if you're into how culture and politics collide in sound—think the way punk, hip-hop, or grunge carried the anxieties of their eras—you'll find a lot to chew on here too.Episode Highlights0:00 – Intro / Setting the stage How Jesse went from Brooklyn club stages and opening for Danger Danger to a PhD in literature and an 80s tribute band in St. Louis, and why 80s metal still gets written off as “by and for dummies” while Dylan and Kendrick win major literary prizes.5:12 – Are 80s metal lyrics actually literature? Cassette liner notes, goofy rhymes, and serious themes: Jesse breaks down how synecdoche, personification, metaphor, and symbolism show up in songs by Def Leppard, Metallica, and Twisted Sister.12:45 – PMRC, Tipper Gore, and the fight over teenage imagination We revisit the 1985 PMRC hearings, Dee Snider's testimony, and why “Under the Blade” and “Suicide Solution” say more about adult panic than teen corruption.20:30 – Cold War metal: Bon Jovi to Nuclear Assault How videos like Bon Jovi's “Runaway” and songs by Metallica, Ozzy, Megadeth, and Nuclear Assault carried nuclear anxiety, class conflict, and apocalyptic dread beneath all the hairspray.28:10 – Escapism, fantasy, and why Dio matters From Dungeons & Dragons to Iron Maiden and Dio, we explore metal's love of magic, fantasy, and portals as a deeply human response to a world that often felt unlivable.36:40 – MTV, chains, and the magic door We unpack the visual language of 80s metal videos: breaking out of asylums and prisons, falling through mirrors, and what it meant to “escape to the concert” once metal hit the mainstream.45:05 – Outsiders selling millions of records Why metal fans still felt like misfits even as the music dominated MTV, and how that outsider identity overlaps with the way readers and writers see themselves.52:30 – Van Halen, class struggle, and 1984 From “Running with the Devil” and “Jump” to “Hot for Teacher,” we look at David Lee Roth's working-class storytelling, school-as-prison imagery, and the eerie resonance of naming an album 1984 in the synth-drenched futureshock of the mid-80s.1:01:10 – Cowboys, Road Warriors, and the end of the world How metal videos borrowed from Escape from New York, The Road Warrior, and cowboy mythology to build a visual language of lawless survival and American ruggedness.1:09:45 – W.A.S.P., Nine Inch Nails, and moving the line What it means that W.A.S.P.'s “Animal (F*** Like a Beast)” got pulled from shelves while “Closer” became a critical darling, and how censorship lines shifted from the 80s to the 90s.1:18:20 – White Lion, Living Colour, and the politics hiding in band names We get into White Lion's unexpected political conscience, the uncomfortable optics of Pride, and how Living Colour wore their politics more explicitly.1:25:40 – How to listen differently after Rock of Pages Jesse explains how he hopes readers (and listeners) revisit 80s metal: with streaming open, videos queued up, and an ear tuned to metaphor, context, and the way these songs helped kids survive their era.1:33:50 – What's next and where to find the book Jesse hints at possible 90s projects and shares where to find Rock of Pages through Bloomsbury, indie bookstores, and the usual suspects.If this conversation makes you want to pull your old cassettes out of the box (or at least re-open your 80s metal playlist), don't stop here.Dive into the full archive of 70s & 80s metal episodes, history-of-the-band deep dives, and mixtapes at digmeoutpodcast.com.Join the DMO Union for bonus episodes, new release reviews, polls, and our private Discord community at dmounion.com.Subscribe, leave a review, and share this episode with the friend who still swears 80s metal was “just for fun.” Let's prove, once and for all, that the music that raised us was doing a lot more than just partying.

https://wels2.blob.core.windows.net/daily-devotions/20260118dev.mp3 Listen to Devotion The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him and said, “Look, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!” John 1:29 Closer than Cousins Jesus and John the Baptist were relatives. Their mothers, Mary and Elizabeth, were kinswomen or “cousins.” This would make Jesus and John cousins. But their closeness to one another exceeded a blood relationship. John was a herald and forerunner, the announcer of Christ’s coming. To this day, he prepares our hearts to receive the Savior by preaching repentance and faith. He preaches not only law but also gospel: “All mankind will see God’s salvation” (Luke 3:6). Again, pointing to Jesus: “Look, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world” (John 1:29). How close this witness bearer was to Jesus! And Jesus was close to John, at whose hands he was baptized. In John 5:35, he calls John a “lamp that burned and gave light.” Further: “Among those born of women there has not risen anyone greater than John the Baptist” (Matthew 11:11). At that point in time, Jesus was still lingering in the background. Only after his baptism in the Jordan would he come to the forefront to begin his public ministry. And then Jesus would increase, but John would decrease. It’s tempting to be jealous of how close John was to Jesus. Wouldn’t it be wonderful to be Jesus' blood relative? But the truth is, every follower of Jesus is closer to him than we imagine. He loves us more than we can fully know. He is with us every moment of every day. When we receive the Lord’s Supper, we receive his true body and blood along with the forgiveness it won for us. You really can't get any closer than that! Rejoice in how close Jesus is to you—closer even than cousins! Prayer: Jesus, walk with me this day as you have promised. May all I do and say be pleasing to you. Amen.

Subscribe to Alli's New Substack - Wise Woman Method    You know what changes everything? When spiritual practices shift from duties we think we owe God to rhythms that help us encounter Him in our everyday, ordinary, and imperfect lives. That's the transformation we'll explore together in today's episode.   I gathered practical wisdom from Beth Moore, Sheila Walsh, Pete Greig, Havilah Cunnington, and Mark Batterson—voices who live what they teach. We discuss real ways to recognize God's voice, pray boldly, engage Scripture deeply, and notice His presence in everyday moments—even the blurriest ones.   Spiritual growth isn't a performance. It's a relationship—a faithful choice to show up, lean in, and build habits that make space for God already inviting you closer.   Let these conversations inspire you and reveal how possible it is to build a life rooted in spiritual practices that truly connect you to God.   Timestamps: (01:15) -  The Four Ways God Speaks (and How to Recognize Them) (04:32) - Studying the Word and Stepping Into Your Calling (09:36) - Hearing God Through Scripture: A Simple Lectio Divina Practice (12:43) - How to Put the Power Back in Your Prayer Life (16:33) - Seeing and Understanding the Everyday Miracles Around You WATCH ALLI  ON YOUTUBE   Links to great things we discussed:    Catalyst Mastermind The Uplift app is here!
