Mike Acton, head of research and strategy at AEW, told the REIT Report podcast that with interest rates remaining high, and likely to stay that way for some time to come, the next couple of years for real estate are going to be all about income growth.That income growth is going to be generated through fundamental property investment and asset management, Acton said. That involves picking the right property in the right location, controlling expenses, keeping it occupied, being smart about capex, and having the discipline to sell it when it's time, he noted.“These are all sort of old school real estate skill characteristics. That's what's going to be rewarded in the marketplace over the next handful of years. It's not going to be taking risk and hoping for yield compression. It's going to be growing income the old-fashioned way,” Acton said.Acton also said that this is a good entry point into the market, with yields the highest they've been in at least a decade and most assets trading below physical replacement cost. “Those are great entry point signals but it's not broad based,” he noted. Today, it's very much a sector, location, and property-specific market, he stressed.Chapters: 00:00 Back to Basics Investing00:58 Macro Forces and Rates02:05 Why Now Is Entry Point02:59 Income Driven Returns04:26 Supply and Construction Reset05:05 Adaptive Reuse Reality Check05:52 Transactions Tell Truth06:42 Sector Winners and Activity07:11 Senior Housing Boom08:40 Affordability Challenge09:30 Second Half Themes10:12 Old School Asset Management11:13 Closing Thoughts and Wrap
Eight out of ten buyers say thought leadership shapes the decisions they make. Only six out of ten companies think thought leadership is critical to winning that business. That twenty-point gap is the starting point for Bob Buday's conversation with Donald Thompson on this episode of High Octane Leadership — and it's also the reason Bob thinks the rise of generative AI is such high stakes for the profession he helped invent.Bob isn't a recent arrival to this conversation. In 1987, he was on the marketing team at CSC Index that turned business reengineering into a five billion dollar consulting category, before “thought leadership” was even a phrase people used. He co-founded The Bloom Group, one of the first thought leadership agencies, in 1998, and launched Buday Thought Leadership Partners in 2020. His book, Competing on Thought Leadership, has won 13 publishing awards.Bob's read on that twenty-point gap: most firms treat thought leadership as a marketing checkbox, when the real value sits upstream, in the primary research that produces a genuinely new idea, and downstream, in whether the firm can actually deliver the expertise it's promoting at scale. He uses the rise and fall of CSC Index's grip on business reengineering to make the point — the idea traveled faster than the firm that invented it could capitalize on it.That's where generative AI enters the picture, and where the episode title comes from. If a firm can now generate a passable white paper with a few prompts, does it still need five editors and two researchers? Bob's answer cuts against the doom narrative: generative AI raises the floor on writing quality, which means the old advantage of just sounding smart disappears — and the bar moves entirely to original insight. He walks through his own experiment asking ChatGPT to compare The New York Times' and the LA Times' digital strategies, and what it revealed about scaling primary research with AI instead of replacing it.By the end, Bob makes the case directly: firms that gut their research teams down to one person running prompts are going to put out forgettable work. He thinks generative AI is going to grow the thought leadership profession, not end it — because more executives are going straight to ChatGPT and Gemini for answers, and the firms without substantial published thinking are the ones that won't get found.This is a conversation about what happens to expertise-based businesses when the cost of sounding smart drops to zero — and what still can't be faked.Key Talking PointsThe 20-Point Perception Gap — Why buyers rate thought leadership as more decision-critical than the firms selling it realize — and what that gap is quietly costing them.Thought Leadership Is a Business Strategy, Not a Marketing Tactic — Bob's case for primary research as the real starting point, with the white paper and the marketing push coming only after the big idea exists.The Supply Side Problem — Why generating demand for your expertise is worthless if only the report's authors can actually deliver it — and the CSC Index reengineering story that proves it.Generative AI Raises the Floor, Not the Ceiling — Why AI closes the writing-quality gap for mediocre firms, which means the real bar moves to original insight.Scaling Case Study Research with AI — Bob's own experiment comparing The New York Times' and LA Times' digital strategies using ChatGPT — and what it revealed about the future of primary research.The Veneer of Expertise — Why sounding smart and creating value are not the same thing, and the only advantage in thought leadership that actually lasts.About the GuestBob Buday is widely regarded as one of the founding figures of the thought leadership profession. In 1987, he joined the marketing team at CSC Index and helped turn business reengineering into a five billion dollar consulting category before “thought leadership” was a term anyone used. He co-founded The Bloom Group, one of the first thought leadership agencies, in 1998, and launched Buday Thought Leadership Partners in 2020. His book, Competing on Thought Leadership, has won 13 publishing awards. Bob also hosts the podcast Everything Thought Leadership and recently launched Inside the Game Changers, a documentary series on the making of influential management concepts — its first episode, produced with his son John Buday, explores the rise of business reengineering.ResourcesBob's Website: https://www.budaytlp.comEmail Bob: bob@budaytlp.comBob Buday LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/bob-buday-81b45/Podcast — Everything Thought Leadership: https://www.youtube.com/@ETL-BTLPBook — Competing on Thought Leadership: https://www.amazon.com/dp/1646871006Donald Thompson LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/donaldthompsonjrDonald's Newsletter & Substack: https://substack.com/@donaldthompsonjrDonald's Books: https://donaldthompson.com/books-resources/Stay connected with Donald: Get his newsletter packed with actionable insights and the kind of straight-talk leadership intelligence that helps build authority, drive performance, and stay ahead of what's coming next: donaldthompson.com.

Have you ever felt the crushing weight of looking at your monthly bank statement and realizing your childcare bill costs more than your housing? It is a staggering reality facing modern families, but why is a system so crucial to our society treated like a personal luxury instead of essential infrastructure? In this episode, I sit down with working mom and leading childcare advocate Paige Connell to pull back the curtain on the skyrocketing costs and systemic failures of American childcare. Paige shares her viral journey of transparency, explains how the math of the current system forces women out of the workforce, and dismantles the oversimplified myths about simply relying on family or grandparents for help. The Viral Truth: Why breaking the taboo of discussing exact childcare costs resonated with millions of families online. The Sneaky Reality of Public School: Why childcare stress doesn't end at kindergarten and the hidden shock of summer camps and school breaks. The Real Economic Hit to Women: How temporary gaps in a career to handle childcare shortages cause permanent, long-term damage to women's salaries and retirement. Dismantling the Grandparent Narrative: Why relying on aging or working family members is a short-sighted and often dismissive answer to a policy problem. Childcare as Infrastructure: Why an economy built on capitalism is failing itself by pulling productive parents out of the workforce. How to Be "Squeaky": Tangible ways parents can advocate for changes within their corporate workplaces and local town levels. A Magic Wand Reform: Paige's three essential national shifts regarding paid leave, subsidized care, and workplace flexibility to completely transform family life.

Amanda Calabrese was a middle schooler at a swim meet when she got her period for the first time. Her team captain told her to figure it out in thirty minutes or she was off the relay. That moment stuck with her all the way to Stanford, where she met her future co-founder Greta Meyer and started sketching what would become Sequel, the first tampon redesign in nearly a hundred years. On this episode of She Pivots, Amanda talks about the four-year fight to get a tiny piece of cotton past the FDA, why she treats the tampon as game-day equipment rather than something to whisper about, and how Sequel landed in locker rooms from middle schools to Audi Field, Yankees Stadium, and the Indiana Fever. Now a nine-time champion turned product design engineer, Amanda is on a mission to change how period care is talked about in sports and in every space where women show up to compete.

What does it take to visit 192 countries, work alongside democracy activists on the front lines of history, and build a career around adventure and purpose? In this episode of the Agents of Innovation Podcast, host Francisco Gonzalez sits down with longtime friend Jess Yescalis, President of Yescalis Campaign Strategies, political strategist, fundraiser, and one of the most well-traveled people in the world. Jess has spent decades helping raise hundreds of millions of dollars for free-market causes while advising political leaders and pro-democracy movements across the globe. Along the way, he's worked with dissidents in Myanmar, trained parliamentary candidates in Egypt after the Arab Spring, navigated some of the world's most dangerous places, and pursued a personal goal of doing something fun or meaningful in every country on Earth.

The conversation explores the role of fathers, the impact of emotional engagement, the gap in emotional engagement, the provider narrative, the trap of provider-centric fatherhood, practical moves for present fatherhood, and closing thoughts on fatherhood and emotional engagement. The key takeaways include the significant impact of emotional engagement on child outcomes and the three essential needs of children from their fathers: emotional availability, attunement, and cognitive stimulation.TakeawaysEmotional engagement of fathers has a significant impact on child outcomesChildren need emotional availability, attunement, and cognitive stimulation from their fathersChapters00:00 The Role of Fathers02:03 The Impact of Emotional Engagement03:01 The Gap in Emotional Engagement04:04 The Provider Narrative10:00 The Trap of Provider-Centric Fatherhood13:10 Practical Moves for Present Fatherhood16:47 Closing Thoughts

AI, Cybersecurity, and Public Policy: Export Controls, Arms Races, and the "New Radium" On Cyber Security Today (Weekend), the host interviews Pratim Datta, a Kent State University professor and former global consultant, about the past six months of AI and public policy as it intersects with cybersecurity. They discuss Anthropic's "Mythos" and "Fable," the marketing-versus-risk debate around autonomous hacking tools, and how the sheer volume of vulnerable code creates a "digitally polluted" environment. The conversation covers whether AI is a consumer product or a weapon, the implications of U.S. export controls (including restrictions affecting foreign nationals), and how model pullbacks may have shaken allies' trust in American tech. They also examine comparisons to radium and nuclear-era unknowns, the OpenAI–Hugging Face incident, the "cathedral vs. bazaar" tension of closed vs. open models, and the broader U.S.–China economic and national security struggle. 00:00 Weekend Show Kickoff 01:15 Meet Prat Dadam 01:59 Policy Whiplash in AI 02:55 Mythos Hype and Fear 06:27 Digital Pollution Problem 07:53 AI Arms Race Begins 09:18 Export Controls Shockwave 14:31 Weapon or Consumer Tech 16:57 New Radium Analogy 21:57 Economics and Trade Wars 23:49 Cathedral Versus Bazaar 25:44 Censorship and Control 27:16 Jurassic Park Chaos 30:27 Hotel California Reality 32:36 Closing Thoughts and Thanks
AI Safety Basics, Exploit Gym, and a 438km Tesla FSD Trip — Plus Kimi K3 and Agentic Tools With John away, Jim and Marcel discuss recent AI security concerns, arguing that sensational claims about an OpenAI model "escaping" distract from basic safeguards like network segmentation and monitoring, especially when testing hacking capability via the Exploit Gym benchmark in a sandboxed, virtualized environment. They pivot to self-driving, with Marcel describing a new rear-wheel-drive Tesla Model Y that drove 438 km to Gananoque and back on supervised Full Self-Driving, including automated routing to Superchargers and self-parking, and they note winter and sensor considerations plus lower fueling costs. The conversation shifts to enterprise AI costs and Chinese models like Kimi K3, Qwen, GLM, and DeepSeek, emphasizing experimentation, data governance, and that huge models require data centers. They highlight agentic systems that can install and run software, memory tools like Mnemosyne, and reflect on how AI could free time for higher-level thinking. 00:00 John Is Away 00:47 Writing And AI Escapes 02:24 Movie Hacking Myths 04:45 Robot Ducks And Chicks 06:04 Exploit Gym Explained 10:36 Agents And Emergence 12:45 Security Lessons Learned 17:05 Self Driving In China 18:35 Tesla Road Trip FSD 25:45 Winter Range And Sensors 28:48 EV Range Reality Check 29:22 Charging Costs and Solar 30:17 Why CIOs Fear AI Costs 32:29 Chinese Models and Multimodal 33:21 Open Source Catch and Sandboxes 35:30 Picking the Right Model Mix 37:33 Innovation vs Reliability Lessons 41:18 Foreign Car Analogy for AI 45:41 What to Use and Pay For 47:33 Voice Mode Gets Real 49:40 Agents That Do the Work 54:20 Memory Plugins and Skill Atrophy 57:59 Habits, Choice, and Closing Thoughts

Law firm marketing does not have to mean paid ads, aggressive sales tactics, or posting constantly online. In episode 628 of the Lawyerist Podcast, Chad Fox talks with Aaron Thomas about marketing for lawyers who do not think of themselves as marketers. Aaron shares how he went from relying almost entirely on referrals to building a more intentional approach that helped grow his firm and bring in better-fit clients. They explore why referral marketing is still marketing, how newsletters can keep firms visible, and why useful content often works better than a direct sales pitch. Aaron also explains how lawyers can build stronger referral networks, make their expertise easier to find, and outsource repetitive marketing tasks without hiring a full-time employee. If you want to grow your firm without sounding salesy or turning marketing into a second job, this episode provides simple strategies you can begin using right away. This episode is sponsored by Posh Virtual Receptionists. As Aaron explains, effective marketing is often less about selling and more about making it easier for the right clients to find, trust, and connect with your firm. Posh helps support that experience by answering calls, improving responsiveness, and helping law firms maintain consistent communication with prospective and current clients.

How do you know when it's worth optimizing your retirement plan and when it's better to keep things simple? This week, Roger answers a listener question by exploring Aristotle's concept of the "golden mean," arguing that the best retirement decisions are rarely found at either extreme. He explains why financial optimization should be measured by the life it enables rather than the dollars it saves and introduces the OODA Loop (Observe, Orient, Decide, Act) as a practical framework for evaluating trade-offs. Roger also answers listener questions about stepped-up cost basis after the death of a spouse, whether dividends can be used to fund an income floor, and when bonds versus CDs make sense in today's interest rate environment.OUTLINE OF THIS EPISODE OF THE RETIREMENT ANSWER MAN(00:00) Roger introduces today's discussion on balancing financial optimization with simplicity, previews upcoming episodes, and shares updates on the August replay schedule and September Social Security series.RETIREMENT TOOLKIT(02:31) Finding your "golden mean" between optimizing your retirement plan and keeping it simpleWhy retirement planning often overemphasizes financial optimizationThe difference between optimizing for money and optimizing for lifeHow Aristotle's concept of the golden mean applies to retirement decisionsUsing the OODA Loop (Observe, Orient, Decide, Act) to make better decisionsRecognizing personal biases before making financial decisionsEvaluating trade-offs and second-order consequences before pursuing tax strategies, Roth conversions, and other optimization opportunitiesLISTENER QUESTIONS(36:35) Roger answers a listener's question about home cost basis.

A 360-degree review told Tyler Chisholm exactly what was wrong with his leadership: he filled every room, jumped to conclusions, and never let his team finish a sentence. His team had stopped contributing. They were just waiting to be told what to do. In this episode of The Executive Commute, Jayson Krause talks with Tyler Chisholm, CEO and author of Curious as Hell, about the moment that feedback forced him to rebuild how he leads. Tyler unpacks the difference between the leader he was in the boardroom and the host he'd become on his own podcast, and how closing that gap turned curiosity from a personality trait into a daily discipline. They get into where curiosity actually helps, where it gets weaponized into control, and what it takes to build a team that feels safe enough to think out loud. They cover: The feedback that forced a leadership reset Curiosity as a practice, not a trait: self, relational, and strategic curiosity How questions get weaponized to control instead of learning Where curiosity fails (and command and control takes over) A simple tool for pausing before you react What actually predicts whether a leader succeeds or fails If your meetings go quiet the moment you start talking, this one's worth the full hour.

Denver active listings ended June at 12,744, down roughly 9% from the same month last year, catching the panel off guard in this June 2026 Denver real estate market update. Most expected inventory to keep climbing through the summer. Instead, the Denver metro is heading into the back half of the year with less supply than it had a year ago, while median prices remain locked near $600,000 for the fourth straight year. Colorado Springs looks even flatter, with June closing at a $499,900 median and almost no movement month over month or year over year. Host Chris Lopez sits down with the full panel of Jenny Bayless of Colorado Springs, Jeff White of Envision Advisors, Troy Howell of Nova Home Loans, and Brandon Scholten of Keyrenter Denver. Together they walk through the June DMAR and Colorado Springs data, then move into two closed deals and the shifting picture in commercial multifamily debt. You get the ground-level view from the brokers, lenders, and property managers actually working these deals. The conversation also covers a Lakewood condo that finally sold for $150,000 after being listed at $270,000 and briefly dropped to $1 as a test. On the multifamily side, Chris shares a 100-unit Colorado Springs deal his fund closed near $11 million after the previous owner ran out of money at a roughly $17 million basis. Meanwhile, a Loveland fourplex traded at $685,000 with $27,000 in seller credits, bought down to a rate near 6.8% on a 5% down owner-occupied loan. From there, the June 2026 Denver real estate market update digs into the federal 21st Century Road to Housing Act and its 350-home institutional threshold, plus the extend and pretend cycle in commercial multifamily lending. Denver Business Journal quotes Mark Bell of Stinson describing extensions, negotiated ownership changes, and new equity infusions as the tools being used today. Chris shares his read after a night with Pinnacle Commercial brokers on why 2026 and 2027 could finally break the cycle. In This Episode We Cover: Why Denver inventory dropped 9% year over year when everyone expected a climb How Denver median prices have stayed near $600,000 for four straight years The Lakewood condo that listed at $270,000 and finally sold for $150,000 A Colorado Springs duplex that closed at list price for a first-time house hacker How a Loveland fourplex closed with $27,000 in seller credits and a rate near 6.8% What the 21st Century Road to Housing Act actually does at the 350-home threshold Why the extend and pretend cycle in commercial multifamily is finally starting to break The 100-unit Colorado Springs deal that traded roughly 35% below its previous basis And so much more! Whether you are house hacking your first duplex or holding a mid-size multifamily, Denver’s June 2026 real estate market update gives you the specific numbers and local context to make your next move.

Shannon Flynn was a former close associate of the notorious Mormon forger and bomber, Mark Hofmann. Recorded before Flynn's 2021 passing, this conversation provides a chilling, up-close look at Hofmann’s methods, his personality, and the desperate unraveling that led to two murders. We’ll get up close and personal and discuss this crazy chapter of Mormon History. https://youtu.be/9QcITtuSxLo Don't miss our other conversations Shannon: https://gospeltangents.com/people/shannon-flynn Copyright © 2026 Gospel Tangents All Rights Reserved Check out a transcript of the interview on Amazon. Mark Hofmann’s Beginnings The Origins of a Forger (Early Life & Coins): Hofmann's life of deception began long before he forged church documents; he started electroplating fake mint marks onto coins at just 12 years old. Flynn reveals that Mark Hofmann successfully fooled experts for years, though a simple block of dry ice would cause the forged mint marks to flake right off. Fabricating Provenance (The “Oath of a Freeman”): Flynn details the ingenious ways Mark Hofmann established legitimate backstories for his fake documents. For the highly valuable “Oath of a Freeman,” Hofmann slipped a forged copy into a stack of pamphlets at a massive New York bookstore, took it to the register, and obtained a genuine receipt to prove where he “found” it. Mastering the Art of Deception (Forgery Techniques): Mark Hofmann’s historical research and chemical techniques were unprecedented. He would steal blank flyleaves from 19th-century books at the University of Utah and BYU so the paper would pass carbon dating. To age the ink instantly, he placed documents in a fish tank with an old electric train motor, using the ozone (O3) to oxidize the ink. This technique eventually led to his downfall, as the rapid drying caused the ink to crack—a telltale sign investigators later used against him. Beating the Polygraph: Despite murdering two people and fabricating dozens of documents, Mark Hofmann passed a polygraph test with a highly truthful score of +14. Flynn explains that Hofmann had a genius-level IQ of 137 and used intense self-hypnosis and biofeedback—skills he learned from a hypnotist at age 13—to suppress his physical stress responses. Police Coercion and Flynn's Arrest: Flynn was briefly caught up in the investigation and was arrested for possessing an unregistered automatic weapon that actually belonged to Hofmann. Flynn vividly recounts how the police lied to the media about finding a “bomb factory” in his storage unit, which initially made Flynn believe that the police were framing Hofmann for the bombings too. The Murders and Mark Hofmann’s Unraveling: Hofmann operated heavily on a “forgery on demand” basis, constantly producing documents to put out financial fires. The pressure reached a breaking point when a $185,000 bank loan for the nonexistent “McLellin collection” came due. Hofmann built pipe bombs to kill Steve Christensen and Kathy Sheets purely to buy himself time and distract investigators. The third bomb, which injured Hofmann himself, was likely triggered in a moment of desperation as he realized his web of lies had trapped him. Life in Prison & Church Fallout: Flynn visited Mark Hofmann several times in prison during the early 1990s, noting that Hofmann had fully adapted to convict life and still practiced self-hypnosis daily. Flynn also addresses the faith crises many experienced over the Hofmann saga, arguing that it is unreasonable to leave the LDS Church just because its leaders failed to detect the forgeries, pointing out that general authorities “don’t have magic powers.” 00:00 Introduction 01:39 How Shannon Met Mark 02:32 Mark’s Early Forgery Career – Coins 09:07 Shannon’s Work with Mark 11:33 Oath of a Freeman Forgery 16:57 Mark’s Legitimate Collecting & Financial Dealings 20:31 McLellin Collection Scheme & First Interstate Bank Loan 25:12 Mark’s Personality 27:57 Beating the Polygraph 51:49 Shannon’s Arrest & Jail Time 1:02:09 The Bombings – Initial Response 1:32:03 Document Forgery Techniques – Paper & Ink 1:38:04 Advanced Forgery Methods – Oxidation & Cracking 1:23:16 Bombing Motives & Third Bomb 1:11:20 Mark’s Production to Demand Strategy 1:15:45 Impact on LDS Scholarship 1:43:40 Prison Life & Suicide Attempt 1:46:05 Shannon’s Prison Visits & Correspondence 1:57:28 Legal Strategy & Plea Agreement 1:40:03 Parole Hearing & Life Sentence 2:04:30 Closing Thoughts on Church Authority Don't miss our other conversations Shannon: https://gospeltangents.com/people/shannon-flynn Copyright © 2026 Gospel Tangents All Rights Reserved

That's all.In this week's episode, “Station Theta Black” and “Bipo” (Resistance Season 1, Episodes 11–12), we dig into Poe Dameron's past as a swashbuckling Rebel-style hero of old, and how he represents the Rebellion within the Resistance.We also sing the praises of General Leia Organa and parse the nefarious thorniness of the First Order's weapons manufacturing scheme.

Why do morally good people often hesitate to change other people's minds, viewing persuasion as presumptuous, obnoxious, or downright creepy? The University of Washington's professor of philosophy, Dr. Colin Marshall, joins host PJ Wehry to discuss how to successfully bridge deep divides in our highly polarized climate.Dr. Marshall explores the ethics and psychology of civil persuasion in his book, Just Hear Me Out: How to Change Minds Without Lies, Bullshit, or Moral Compromise. They examine how genuine persuasion isn't about manipulation or aggressive takedowns , but rather requires a delicate balance of respect, compassion, and the right environment.In this conversation they explore: Why the fallout of the 2016 US presidential election pushed Dr. Marshall from pure theoretical philosophy into finding practical tools for civil engagement. The crucial difference between manipulative persuasion—where people are treated as obstacles to maneuver—and civil persuasion that honors a person's complete humanity. How combining Immanuel Kant's emphasis on rational respect with Arthur Schopenhauer's focus on deep compassion creates a coherent framework for changing minds. Why attempting to persuade someone at the Thanksgiving table almost always fails, and the importance of establishing an "attention-friendly context" like grabbing a coffee or a beer. Incredible real-world examples of successful persuasion, including Daryl Davis persuading extremists to leave the KKK and Megan Phelps-Roper leaving the Westboro Baptist Church after patient, charitable interactions on Twitter. The concept of "moral myopia"—the deeply human tendency to become so hyper-focused on one moral issue or our own self-respect that we lose sight of the other person's bandwidth and feelings. The psychology of building trust, and why establishing warmth and shared humanity must always come before proving your intellectual competence. This is a conversation for anyone interested in philosophy, psychology, and healthy communication who wants to understand how to sincerely navigate our modern disagreements without sacrificing their own moral integrity.Make sure to check out Dr. Marshall's book: Just Hear Me Out: How to Change Minds without Lies, Bullshit, or Moral Compromise
In this episode of Connected FM, host Dean Stanberry, former Chair on IFMA's Global Board of Directors, welcomes Gabe Phillips, CEO of Catalyst Power, for a practical conversation about energy management in an increasingly disrupted market. Gabe explains how facility managers can move beyond treating energy as a fixed operating expense and instead take a more strategic approach to procurement, efficiency and resilience planning. The discussion covers energy contracts, market volatility, demand management, on-site generation and how organizations can evaluate opportunities such as solar, combined heat and power and battery storage. The conversation also highlights the importance of understanding energy baselines, gathering operational data and conducting energy audits before making major investments. Gabe shares why facility managers should focus on building a strong data foundation, leveraging expert advice and carefully evaluating the financial realities behind emerging energy technologies.

America's top-selling economics textbook defines communism as "the most benevolent form of economic system." That single sentence sums up why Texas State Board of Education members Julie Pickren and Brandon Hall asked PJTN president Laurie Cardoza-Moore to testify as they fought a terror-linked campaign to reshape how children learn about Israel, Judaism, and American history. In this webinar, Laurie sits down with Pickren, Hall, and PJTN senior academic fellow Dr. Sandra Alfonsi to unpack what the board won, what's still ahead when high school standards return to a vote in September, and why what happens in Texas doesn't stay in Texas — it shapes curriculum for 25 other states and over 30 million schoolchildren. The conversation also turns to New York's new mayor, with Dr. Alfonsi making the case that "Commie Mamdani" undersells the real ideology at work. This is a conversation about truth in the classroom, the return of the Bible to instructional materials, and the biblical responsibility to make sure the next generation is taught to stand with Israel, not against it.Follow, share, and support PJTN's mission at PJTN.org.0:00 They Renamed Communism in Textbooks0:42 Meet PJTN and Laurie Cardoza-Moore3:20 Inside the Texas TEKS Standards Hearing7:47 Julie Pickren on Defeating CAIR's Amendments11:57 Why High School Standards Got Delayed17:59 Brandon Hall on Putting the Bible Back in Schools25:12 Communism 101: Who Controls Your Child30:20 Q&A: Banning CAIR From Testifying36:11 Free Bluebonnet Curriculum for Every State40:57 How the New Standards Will Be Enforced45:48 Rising Antisemitism and "Commie Mamdani"52:12 Dr. Alfonsi: Communism as a Vehicle for Islamism55:28 Erasing Jewish History From Textbooks1:07:01 Closing Thoughts and How to Get InvolvedDon't forget to subscribe, rate, and share to help us equip more Christians to stand with Israel and fight antisemitism.✨ Stay connected with PJTN! ✨

A lot of people feel like they know who they're supposed to be, how they're supposed to show up, and what they're supposed to value, and they assume those things come from themselves instead of external influences. But we all have internalized beliefs and expectations from others, our culture, and the systems we live in. It takes a beat, sometimes a long one, to get clear on who you actually are and what is actually important to you. It requires building the kind of deep self-trust that allows you to act from your values even when the world is suggesting otherwise.And if you carry relational wounds or other interpersonal or socio-cultural burdens, those experiences can slow down or block your capacity to deepen self-trust, trust in others, grow in courage, and fully inhabit your whole story. That is not a character flaw. It is a developmental reality.My guest today models what becomes possible when you stop performing the version of yourself the world approved of and start trusting yourself and leading from that space. She is building a career and a creative practice rooted in self-trust and values alignment, and she is far from done.MILCK, born Connie K.

Check out Cam's latest novel / audio drama here! We have argued for a number of months now that A Clash of Kings was written in thematic couplets, and that has never been more true than it is in this discussion, which juxtaposes Jon and Catelyn to reveal their striking similarities. GRRM also uses the repeated structure of these two chapters to draw out some shocking implications: equating Stannis with the White Walkers and interrogating Catelyn's treatment of Jon. Maggie investigates the endless blame game that stretches across these pages alongside a worryingly widespread trend of deferred responsibility. Cam revisits our "living ghosts" theory to figure out why all of our would-be kings feel like they've already lost the war.

John Krupinsky grew up in Danbury Connecticut in a law enforcement family — his father and brother were both cops.

In this episode of Locked In with Ian Bick, John shares the complete truth about what 45 years in law enforcement really looked like — from policing in the 80s and 90s to undercover work to drug busts to the city's relationship with federal agencies to his take on local cops working with ICE to why it is harder to be a cop today to dealing with social media and first amendment auditors to massage parlor busts to encountering Ian personally when he owned a club in Danbury to going viral to the Black Lives Matter movement. _____________________________________________ #cops #police #truecrimestories _____________________________________________ Thank you to GLD & FACTOR for sponsoring this episode: GLD: New customers get 40% Off with code LOCKEDIN at https://www.gld.com/ _____________________________________________ Factor: Head to http://factormeals.com/lockedin50off and use code lockedin50off to get 50 percent off and free daily greens per box, with new subscription only, while supplies last until 09/27/2026.

Knowing your communication style is useful. Knowing when to move beyond it is what creates growth. In episode 627 of the Lawyerist Podcast, Zack Glaser talks with Zeina Baydoun about how law firm leaders and teams can use DISC to better understand themselves, communicate more effectively, and respond with greater intention. Zeina breaks down why DISC is not a personality test or a permanent label. It is a starting point for recognizing the behaviors that come most naturally, the blind spots those tendencies can create, and the ways stress may amplify them. Rather than using a profile to say, “That is just how I am,” she encourages leaders to ask whether their default response is actually what the person or situation needs. They discuss how different communication styles can create friction inside law firms, why understanding behavior can replace judgment with curiosity, and how teams can better support one another without lowering expectations for growth. If you want to improve communication without forcing everyone to think and work the same way, this episode offers a thoughtful framework for building more adaptable leaders and more connected teams.

He also opens up about cutting class to teach himself piano, chasing a real Grammy after his Lifetime Achievement win, bowling at the White House with Dr. Jill Biden, and why, nearly 40 years into his career, he still doesn't think he's made it to the top.

In this popular re-aired episode, Alison talks with Cathy Christen about self-care through the lens of energy, health, and intentional living and their conversation focuses on how nourishing ourselves can come from more than just sleep, food, and exercise.Cathy shares her background in entrepreneurship and explains that after years of pushing hard, she became burnt out and realized that success was not sustainable if she ignored her own wellbeing.They discuss the idea that energy has several parts: physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual. Cathy describes how joy, meaningful relationships, mindfulness, and prayer all contribute to how she feels each day, along with practical habits like time blocking and choosing what matters most.She also explains how her approach changed after having children. Instead of following a rigid routine, she adapted her mornings to include meditation, affirmations, shared family time, and trade-offs with her husband so both of them can care for themselves.They close with practical guidance for listeners who feel overwhelmed. Cathy encourages starting with a clear reason for wanting better health, making a dreams list, finding support through a mentor or community, and being honest about what is draining versus what is life-giving.HIGHLIGHTS:0:06 Energy and Self-Care Reset3:39 Beyond Physical Energy6:04 New Mom, New Routine7:27 Four Kinds of Energy10:01 Fueling What Matters12:48 Finding Your Why15:03 Dream Big, Live Intentionally17:53 Life on Purpose19:22 Delegate the Drain22:04 Forgiveness and Healing25:01 Start With a Mentor27:25 Make Time by Choice29:30 Closing Thoughts on Prioritiesconnect with Cathywebsite: https://cathychristen.comLife As A Masterpiece book: https://a.co/d/06uMkQOWSPONSOR:Cellev8Discount code: THEALISONK ALISON'S LINKS:Website | Facebook | Twitter | InstagramGET MY FREE 4 part Pop-up Podcast SeriesJOIN Borderless Hybrid Innovators FB GroupINNOVATION AVENUE: Fitness and Self-Care Revolution
How far will you go to forgive someone? What if they're family? What if they're also your former enemy?In "The Platform Classic" and "Secrets and Holograms” (Resistance Season 1, Episodes 9–10), we talk about the limits of love and loyalty when it comes to family: for Jarek Yeager and his brother, Marcus Speedstar, but also for Captain Doza and his daughter, Ace pilot Torra.We discuss the downsizing of the New Republic military after it deemed the Imperial threat to be over, and Doza's overtures to the First Order. We also wonder whether Yeager (or Doza!) could be a First Order spy…or maybe even a sleeper agent of the Resistance. Come for the thrilling flying sequences and stay for the drama. Seeing Yeager fly for the first time is just as delightful as being completely charmed by Torra Doza.Want more Growing Up Skywalker?

Today, we end our 12-week study of the Odyssey with a discussion on Books 23-24 with Dr. Justin Jackson and Dr. Benedict Whalen of Hillsdale College alongside host, Dcn. Harrison Garlick.There is yelling, laughter, cursing, and general chaos--but more of Homer's truth is unearthed in the process.Check out our ONLINE LIBRARY for resources on the great books.Check out Dr. Justin Jackson's Substack working through the Bible.Check out Dr. Justin Whalen at Hillsdale College.The long-awaited homecoming unfolds with Odysseus and Penelope's emotional reunion, the famous test of the immovable olive-tree bed, and the climactic confrontation with the suitors' vengeful families. The conversation crackles with insight as the guests unpack Penelope's cunning, Odysseus' complex character, parallels to Achilles and Heracles, and the poem's meditation on fidelity, mortality, justice, and the costs of homecoming.Dr. Jackson brings contrarian fire—challenging heroic ideals, celebrating the domestic, and wrestling openly with whether Odysseus' reckoning is justice or raw revenge—while Dr. Whalen offers sharp textual observations on themes of rootedness, temptation, and the poem's unresolved tensions.Expect yelling, laughter, heartfelt disagreement, and the kind of raw intellectual energy that makes great books come alive.Whether you've followed the whole series or are just dipping in, this capstone will leave you rethinking everything you thought you knew about the Odyssey. Stick around after the discussion for a look ahead at Plato's Republic and more.

Show Notes HOST Melody Hartzler | | Book Appointment AROUND THE TABLE Dr. Dave Rabin | Visit Website In Today's Episode Joining Melody on this episode is Dr. Dave Rabin, a board-certified psychiatrist, neuroscientist, and co-founder of Apollo Neuro, to explore how chronic stress, trauma, and nervous system dysregulation affect nearly every aspect of our health. Dr. Rabin shares the science behind the body's stress response, the role of the vagus nerve, and how creating a greater sense of safety can improve sleep, focus, resilience, and recovery. Together, they discuss why stress isn't something we can eliminate, but something we can learn to regulate. From breathwork and mindfulness to wearable technology like Apollo Neuro, this conversation offers practical strategies for improving nervous system health and building long-term resilience. Key Take Aways Chronic stress and unresolved trauma can disrupt the nervous system, contributing to poor sleep, anxiety, inflammation, and chronic disease. The vagus nerve plays a key role in helping the body shift from a stress response into a state of recovery and healing. Nervous system regulation can be supported through simple daily practices such as breathwork, mindfulness, movement, social connection, and wearable technologies.

It's a lighter Friday edition of the Shootaround, and Robert Horry and Rob Jenners are catching up on everything they didn't get to during the July 4th break. First up: the NBA's new one-free-throw rule getting tested at Summer League, and why Horry thinks turning two free throws into one is a solution looking for a problem. From there it's a quick hit on the Jaguars' reported talks to relocate to London, a look at which current NBA stars have stuck with their teams the longest (Steph Curry leads the pack, with Draymond Green and Devin Booker not far behind), and a debate over whether any of them actually retire where they are. Then things get silly: a listener sends in a Pacman Jones clip claiming South Carolina had a McDonald's inside the football locker room, which sends Horry and Jenners down a rabbit hole on mispronounced words, a viral video of a five-year-old Mets fan begging to switch to the Yankees, and the fan bases everybody loves to hate on but never actually leaves. They close things out on a genuinely good note, answering a listener question about the coolest thing Horry's ever done for someone else — a story about giving up hospital privileges for other families with sick kids. 00:00 Cold Open & Intro 00:30 Should the NBA Test a One-Free-Throw Rule? 04:00 Should the Jaguars Move to London? 06:00 Giannis Leaves Milwaukee: Who's Been There Longest? 08:00 Will Any of These NBA Stars Retire Elsewhere? 10:00 The Great McDonald's-in-the-Locker-Room Debate 12:00 Words We All Mispronounce (Pecan, Caribbean & More) 13:00 A Viral Mets Kid Breaks Everyone's Heart 15:00 Fanbases We Love to Hate On 17:30 Listener Question: The Coolest Thing You've Ever Done 19:00 Closing Thoughts & Sign-Off

Rob on Love Island Endgame The countdown to the Love Island finale is underway as Rob, Kirsten MacInnis, and Brian Scally dig into all the drama from this season's penultimate episode of Love Island USA. With only days left, family visits, shifting loyalties, and a surprise Chili's Margarita tasting take center stage. As the race narrows to the core couples, the hosts debate who deserves to win, while sampling snacks and sharing hot takes on both the Islanders and show's endgame strategies. From questioning the slowing pace leading into the finale to dissecting “situationships” and bets on the most shocking winners, the conversation covers every corner of the villa. The crew gives special attention to Sincere's controversial relationship path, the spectacle and awkwardness of villa karaoke, and theories about suspicious voting and betting schemes possibly skewing results. Reliving the highs and lows, Rob, Kirsten, and Scally deliver a blend of food, fun, and passionate Love Island debate, with a guest appearance from Peyton representing Chili's, ready to shake things up with margaritas and deep fried delights. Highlights from this lively episode include: The hosts’ takes on Sincere and Melanie's reunion, with suspicion over whether Sincere's “new leaf” truly signals change or just limited temptation The “team” dynamic of voting—debating who should make the final four and whether strategic voting or outside betting influence the outcome The breakdown of iconic (and not-so-iconic) karaoke performances, especially Kenzie and Dylan's rise and Parmida and Corbin's challenges on stage The running joke about “situationships” and the villa's tendency toward judgment and mess, even as couples lock in and the drama slows Reactions to AfterSun eliminations, calls for a shakeup in the final days, and speculation over long-distance couples like Carl and Aniya With the season's end in sight, which couple stands out as genuine contenders and which storylines are set to close on a flat note? Could surprise alliances or a sudden influx of new bombshells turn the tide in these final moments? Dive into the episode to find out who the hosts believe is coasting toward the win, who's been unfairly judged, and how this season's unique blend of strategy, romance, and karaoke debacles may shape the last days in the villa. 00:00 Introductions and Pre-Finale Energy 06:18 Sincere and Melanie Critiqued 12:14 KC and Aniya's Redemption Arc 16:41 Zach and Kayda “Closed Off” 20:51 Love Island Karaoke Breakdown 26:13 Corbin and Parmida Analyzed 32:01 Reunion Hopes and After Sun Drama 38:02 Season's Endgame Critiqued 44:12 Social Media Misinformation Exposed 50:00 Jen and Caleb's Exit Discussed 55:00 Predictions: Who Will Win? 60:00 Closing Thoughts and Next Steps LISTEN: Subscribe to the We Know Love Island podcast feed!
