Jerry's passion is helping bereaved children. When I was first introduced to her, Jerry was described as a widowed mother with a heart for grieving kids. She'd written Joy Overcame Sorrow, a fictional tale for late‑elementary and middle‑school readers about a ten‑year‑old girl coping with her father's death. The story follows Joy's grief journey, letting parents buy a companion workbook so children can record their own feelings while reading. I booked Jerry for the show because listeners frequently ask how parents can support grieving children. I didn't realize her personal loss mirrored our own so closely. Jerry lost her husband her best friend — and raised their young family alone. Before that, she endured four pregnancy losses, including delivering and burying two infants, Jenny and Jesse. Those early tragedies marked her first encounter with deep grief and forced her to help her surviving kids navigate sorrow. Little did she know the next forty years would bring more loss, both as a widow and as a K‑9 teacher working with grieving students. In the classroom, Jerry advised fellow teachers on supporting grieving children. Many educators feel helpless; asking parents is tough because they, too, are immersed in grief. Colleagues urged her to write a book to help grieving children. Jerry had already published a non-fiction book, helping widows rediscover joy after loss, but writing for children would prove to be very different indeed. Instead of a non‑fiction how‑to guide, Jerry chose fiction — a powerful decision. Stories teach while comforting, allowing children to see themselves reflected without overt instruction. Kids gravitate to narrative—they don't want to feel singled out. By experiencing grief through Joy's eyes, they learn, empathize, and feel less alone. Her novel and its workbook now serve as a gentle bridge for families and teachers navigating the delicate path of loss together.

Political correspondent, Mícheál Lehane on what happened at the Fianna Fáil parliamentary party meeting last night, which discussed the withdrawal of Jim Gavin from the Presidential election.
News and Updates: AI “Workslop” at Work – A Stanford/BetterUp survey finds over 40% of U.S. employees encounter AI-generated “workslop”—content that looks polished but adds no real value. On average, 15% of workplace output now qualifies, with tech and professional services hit hardest. Colleagues who submit workslop are seen as less capable, trustworthy, and creative. Fauxductivity: Busy, Not Productive – Experts warn of “fauxductivity,” where workers mistake busyness for real progress. Multitasking, endless low-value to-do lists, and unproductive meetings create the illusion of productivity. Solutions include prioritizing top tasks, deep work sessions, and honest daily reviews. ChatGPT Parental Controls – OpenAI rolled out parental controls for ChatGPT, letting parents set time limits, disable voice or image features, turn off memory, and restrict sensitive content. Parents may also receive alerts if teens show signs of self-harm. The move follows lawsuits and safety concerns, with settings designed to stay in place until parents remove them. Americans' AI Attitudes – A Pew survey shows U.S. adults remain wary of AI's growing role. – 71% would like a candidate less if they learned AI wrote a political speech. – 56% feel negatively about AI-written news articles, while nearly half don't mind AI art or music. – Most Americans (53%) believe AI will harm creativity, while 50% say it will weaken human relationships. – Younger adults are more skeptical of AI art and music than older generations. California AI Safety Law – Gov. Gavin Newsom signed SB 53, the nation's first AI safety law. It requires AI developers to disclose safety protocols, report major incidents, and protects whistleblowers. The law also lays the foundation for CalCompute, a state-run cloud cluster. Industry giants like Anthropic supported the bill, while lobbying groups warned it could stifle innovation.

Here is an expanded, multi-act play dramatizing the philosophical conflict and personal effort to foster a paradigm shift in AIDS research. The Paradigm Shift: A Play in Three Acts Here are the three Characters Rebecca Culshaw – Mathematician and critic of AIDS orthodoxy Karl Popper – Philosopher of science, logic-driven Thomas Kuhn – Philosopher of science, historically minded The Colleague – A skeptical scientist (optional for Act II-III) Act I – The Summoning Setting: Culshaw's cluttered study at midnight. A window is open, letting in a cold breeze. Culshaw is hunched over papers. Suddenly, mysterious figures materialize. Popper (stepping closer): Rebecca, do you know why we have come? Culshaw (startled but curious): I sense you bear advice. Kuhn (smiling softly): Your struggle echoes in the halls of scientific history. Few have challenged entrenched paradigms and lived to see the world change. Culshaw: The AIDS narrative is unyielding. Criticism draws scorn, not reasoned dialogue. How do I crack this shell? Popper: Treat the theory as a scientific hypothesis. Identify its core claims. What would it take to disprove them? Ask the establishment this at every turn. Kuhn: Yet do not forget, paradigm shifts require more than refutation. You must nurture a community—make them feel the cracks and offer a new framework. Popper: Truth is not a popularity contest, Kuhn. Kuhn: But consensus rules until new puzzles make the old vision unbearable. Culshaw: You mean I need both: a demonstration of failure and a replacement vision? Popper & Kuhn (together): Precisely. Fade out. Act II – Testing the Fortress Setting: A scientific conference. Culshaw stands before a skeptical audience, including The Colleague. Culshaw: Suppose key HIV tests predict nothing about immune decline. Suppose AIDS definitions are shifting sands. What, then, does our theory become? Colleague: You twist anomalies into attacks. What of the millions of lives believed saved? Popper: (now imagined at her shoulder) Demand evidence. Show that lives were saved by measurable intervention, not just by post hoc rationalization. Kuhn: Frame your findings as questions that the current theory cannot answer. Let the audience witness the struggle. Culshaw: Here are cases where test and disease do not align, where drugs harm, where predictions fail. This is not a collection of quirks—it is a crisis. Colleague: Science will patch these gaps. Popper: Only if the patches themselves are testable—not ad hoc excuses. Kuhn: And as the failures accumulate and the story loses coherence, your role shifts. Offer new lenses through which researchers can view their puzzles anew. Culshaw: I will. Here is a framework where immune collapse arises from multifactor exposures, not a virus. Here predictions become clear, testable, vulnerable to refutation. Colleague (uncertain): It is bold, but is it enough? Popper: Make it falsifiable. Kuhn: Make it irresistible. Fade to black. Act III – Turning the Tide The Setting: Culshaw's study, months later. She pores over data. Papers about her new model are being discussed worldwide. Popper: Are your ideas withstanding scrutiny? Culshaw: Some have tried to refute them. Some admit their theories don't predict as well. Kuhn: Is a community embracing the new framework? Culshaw: Slowly. Some see the anomaly pattern. Some consider new research. The old guard resists—naturally. Popper: The measure is not in popularity, but precision. Do not shy from critique. Kuhn: And always tend to the new paradigm's coherence. Invite others to build upon it. A real shift is communal. Culshaw: Thank you, Karl. Thank you, Thomas. Let science decide—through rigor, vision, and openness—not through the chill of consensus alone. Popper and Kuhn fade, their voices echoing: Popper: Progress thrives on falsification. Kuhn: And transformation blooms with imagination. Culshaw, alone, presses onward, her desk now a beacon among the cluttered battleground of ideas. End.
KISSEL, RUBIO, BATCHELOR The conversation between John Batchelor and colleague Mary Kissel, executive vice president of Stephens Incorporated and former senior advisor at the State Department, focuses on the quiet success of Marco Rubio as Secretary of State. Rubio is highly regarded and is very well liked across the aisle for several reasons. During his distinguished career in the Senate, he was viewed as a reasonable person who was very grounded and possessed clear principles, but who was still able to cooperate with Democrats to find common ground. In the current administration, he is seen as relatively more of a realist and a foreign policy hawk than others in powerful roles. Kissel highlights that Rubio has comported himself successfully at the State Department, establishing a stable and extremely careful administration. Notably, the administration has not seen the typical leaks of memos or complaints that the State Department bureaucracy often uses to undermine the executive floor (the seventh floor at Foggy Bottom). A specific success highlighted is the recovery of one of the hostages held by the Kabul government, the Taliban. The success of the Special Presidential Envoy for Hostage Affairs (SPEHA), who reports up to Rubio and the President, is emphasized, as protecting U.S. citizenry is considered the greatest role for the government. Finally, the President has shown significant confidence in Rubio by naming him National Security Advisorconcurrently with his role as Secretary of State.
It's important, no matter who you're partnering with, from a business standpoint, from an employee standpoint, from a VA standpoint. Whoever you choose as your business partners and colleagues have to have the skills that you lack, if you want to be able to accomplish the things that you need to get done. David: Hi. Welcome back. In today's episode, co-host Kevin Rosenquist and I discuss the topic of choosing business partners wisely. Welcome back, Kevin. Kevin: It's good to be here. David. I'm excited to talk about this because this is always an interesting topic. David: Yeah. When we think of business partners, we tend to think of people that we're actually going into business with. But there's really sort of a wider group of people that could potentially fit the bill here. So I think it's important to cover that as well. Kevin: The first one you spoke of, the actual business partner, business partner. I mean that can test a friendship. It can test a relationship, it tests all kinds of stuff. So in your experience, just from that side of things. What are the biggest mistakes that business people, entrepreneurs make when choosing a business partner? David: Well, I've made them over the years. My very first business partner was a guy that I worked with in another business. We decided we were going to start our own things. And so we just started out renting the same office space and splitting the rent on that sort of thing. Then we got involved in projects that required both of us working together. It didn't work out well. I started from the standpoint of we got along well, we interacted well. But neither of us took the time to consider our strengths and what each of us would bring to the table. A lot of times when people start working with friends or family, they think, "well, I know this person really well. I trust them." That's a good start. But unless you have similar visions for what the business is going to be, how you're going to get there, and who's going to do what, you can really end up with a lot of problems if that part of it doesn't work out. Kevin: Yeah. it can go downhill fast. It can definitely go downhill fast. So, in any business partnership, you know, you talked about the fact that there's varying types of them. What qualities do you feel matter most in a potential partner and which maybe are overrated? David: Well, I would say, starting out, you need to look at: Are our core values basically aligned? Do we sort of view the world in a similar way? Are we viewing business in a similar way? Do we view the relationship with our potential customers and clients in a similar way? Because if there's a disconnect there, then you're going to have problems starting with the very first decision. So I think that compatibility is very important. Making sure that everybody wants to go in the same direction, right? If you're in a rowboat, you want to make sure everybody's pulling in the same direction. That's extremely important. If you have complementary goals, essentially that's going to be a very important aspect of it. I think also, what is the expertise? What are you good at? What are they good at? If it's exactly the same things, you need to make sure it covers everything that has to be covered in a business. So, if I'm really good at generating ideas and you're really good at implementing those ideas, then that's going to work out well. If we're both great at generating ideas, but neither of us are great at implementation, we're going to struggle with that. And so you want to look at complementary skills. I think that is probably one of the most important aspects of it. You've got the same vision, but you have complementary skills. So that one or more of you are not doing things they hate, right? If you have to engage in a skill that you don't like, or if your business partner does, then it's not a good recipe. But if one of you is really good at idea generati...

A new global study from International Workplace Group (IWG), the world's largest platform for work and provider of flexible workspace, reveals that Gen Z employees are playing a pivotal role in driving AI adoption across the workforce, coaching older colleagues to help unlock productivity and collaboration gains in hybrid working environments. The study, based on a survey of over 2,000 professionals across the US and UK, shows that AI is becoming a cornerstone of how teams and in particular hybrid teams operate. 80% of workers have experimented with AI tools, and 78% say it has saved them time, averaging 55 minutes of saved time per day, equivalent to almost an extra full working day per week. Workers report that this time is being reallocated to higher-value activities such as creative or strategic work (41%), learning and development (41%), in-person collaboration (40%), and networking (35%). An overwhelming 86% say AI has helped them complete tasks more efficiently, and 76% report that it is directly accelerating their career advancement, with this figure rising to 87% among Gen Z workers. Cross-generational collaboration key to unlocking AI gains Cross-generational collaboration is central to this transformation. Nearly two-thirds (59%) of younger employees are actively helping older, more tenured colleagues adopt and learn to use AI tools, with 80% of Senior Directors reporting that this support lets them focus on higher-value tasks, while 82% of Senior Directors report that AI innovations introduced by younger colleagues have unlocked new business opportunities. Two-thirds of C-suite leaders say younger staff's AI skills have improved their department's productivity, and over 80% of senior directors believe AI innovations introduced by junior colleagues have opened up new business opportunities. Overall, 86% of those surveyed report AI has made them more efficient, and 76% believe it is advancing their career, rising to 87% among Gen Z respondents. AI's influence on collaboration is also clear: 69% of hybrid workers say it is making teamwork across locations easier, citing benefits such as improved meeting preparation (46%), access to shared insights (36%), and stronger post-meeting follow-ups (36%). Workers are embracing AI's potential to eliminate time-consuming administrative tasks. The most common areas where employees want AI to step in include drafting emails (43%), taking and summarising meeting notes (42%), organising files (36%), and completing data entry or forms (36%). With these tasks automated, employees are reallocating time to more meaningful work: 55% are now focusing on high-impact projects, 54% are pursuing professional development, and 40% are using the time to build stronger relationships with colleagues and clients or to invest in personal well-being. Benefits for hybrid workers The study also found that 69% of hybrid workers say AI is making it easier to collaborate with colleagues across locations. Improvements in meeting preparation (46%), access to shared insights (36%), and more effective follow-ups (36%) are streamlining teamwork, while 40% say AI has freed up time to invest in team-building and communication. In the hybrid model, AI is also reshaping how office time is used. With automation handling routine work, hybrid professionals now prioritise strategic thinking (41%), learning and development (41%), face-to-face collaboration (40%), and networking (35%) during in-office days. More than half of workers (53%) say AI is helping them achieve better outcomes, and 64% believe it is making hybrid working smoother and more effective. Workers are aware of the stakes. Two-thirds (63%) worry that not learning AI tools could slow their career progression, and 61% believe those who don't adopt AI risk being left behind. Yet the trend is toward inclusive, shared upskilling: 51% of employees say AI is helping bridge generational divides, and over half regularly share AI knowledge with colleagues, ri...

Let's Chat!What power can four simple words hold over a life meticulously constructed? In this gripping installment of The Patience of Predators series, we witness the unraveling of Aston Cross—Manhattan's golden attorney whose perfect existence begins to fracture after finding a mysterious note on his windshield reading: "I see you, brother."The narrative pulls us through Aston's increasingly disturbed psyche as he grapples with a truth he can't understand. His reflection no longer moves in sync. Music follows him through city streets with lyrics that feel deliberately chosen to torment him. Colleagues insist they've seen him in places he knows he's never been. And those late-night phone calls—breathing on the other end of the line that belongs to no one he knows.What makes this psychological thriller so compelling isn't blood or violence but the slow, methodical dismantling of certainty. The predator in this story hunts with patience, not knives. It waits in the cracks of what Aston refuses to face, growing stronger with each moment of denial. As listeners, we're forced to question: What small notes have we been ignoring in our own lives? What truths might we be avoiding that will eventually surface?The episode concludes with five profound reflection questions that challenge us to examine our own carefully constructed identities. What would happen if the mask you spent years perfecting suddenly fell away? Sometimes the most patient predator isn't lurking in shadows—it's the truth we've been running from all along.Join our growing community of listeners exploring the darker corners of the human experience. Write a review, share with friends, or reach out through the "Let's Chat" link in the description. Remember, as we journey through these psychological landscapes together: you create your reality."True mastery is found in the details. The way you handle the little things defines the way you handle everything."

PREVIEW. HEADLINE: Populist AfD Triples Vote in German State Election Amidst Anti-Migration Sentiment GUEST AND TITLE: John Batchelor, Host; Judy Dempsey, Colleague for the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace SUMMARY: John Batchelor and Judy Dempsey discuss the critical German state election in North Rhine-Westphalia, where the populist AfD party tripled its vote, sparking national trend concerns. Dempsey explains that anti-immigration is a "big big issue" for AfD supporters. She notes the large, integrated Turkish population, brought in the 1950s-60s to aid Germany's economic miracle, is disliked by the AfD, leading to attacks on immigrant communities. This electoral shift highlights growing societal divisions driven by migration. 1794
Most of the biggest voices on the right, in both the media and elected office, have been blaming “them” for last week's killing. “They” did it. These same voices are declaring a “war on the left.” This is divisive, dangerous stuff. If it's civil war they want, then quit hiding behind “they.” Just say it. Hosted on Acast.

Finding a job in today's economy can feel overwhelming, but you don't have to face it alone. With interest rates remaining high and the job market slowing, this is a strategic moment to refresh your job search. By combining diligence, adaptability, and prayerful preparation, you can approach this season with confidence rooted in God's wisdom.Proverbs 27:12 reminds us: “The prudent sees danger and hides himself, but the simple go on and suffer for it.” Preparation matters—not just in life but in your job search. With the right approach, you can steward your time, skills, and relationships wisely while trusting God to guide your steps.A great place to start is your resume. Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) filter applications before a human ever reviews them, so tailoring your resume to each job description is essential. Use specific keywords, highlight measurable results, and connect your experience directly to the role. Think of it as stewardship—presenting your God-given abilities thoughtfully and effectively.Building Relationships That Open DoorsEven in a digital age, networking is still king. Studies show up to 85% of jobs are filled through referrals, and many roles are never posted publicly. Reconnect with colleagues, reach out to mentors, and don't overlook your church community. Genuine, relational conversations—built on curiosity rather than transaction—often lead to opportunities you couldn't find otherwise.Employers are also seeking adaptable learners. Developing skills in areas like AI, digital communication, or project management shows you're willing to grow. Affordable platforms like Coursera, edX, and Google Career Certificates make it easy to build new skills that employers value.Standing Out in a Digital WorldYour online presence is often the first impression an employer has. More than 70% of hiring managers review social media profiles, and nearly half say what they find influences their decision. Clean up questionable content, complete your LinkedIn profile, and stay active with thoughtful updates.

John Batchelor and his colleague, General Blaine Holt, a United States Air Force retired general, discussed the significance of a military exercise currently underway in Belarus involving Russia and Belarus, known as Zapad. This exercise is taking place near the NATO frontier in Poland, following an incident where drones reportedly crossed the border from Belarus into Poland. General Holt explained that military exercises offer a significant advantage. While exercises are common—with approximately 55 scheduled annually in Europe, often retaining the same names and declared routinely, such as the Zapad exercise in Belarus—they serve more than just a training purpose. General Holt described this dual function as "cocking a gun," where forces achieve a very high state of readiness. Although adversaries are typically informed in advance about these "normal boring exercise[s]," this readiness can then be utilized to launch a real operation. Beyond operational readiness, General Holt highlighted the diplomatic impact of exercises. Calling for an exercise sends a strong signal to an adversary, implying that military options are under consideration and that the situation could escalate to "something much bigger". He stressed that exercises should always act as a "flag in our brains," prompting consideration of whether they are purely for training and readiness or "something else". Overlaying the geopolitical situation onto an exercise provides a "different picture" than simply viewing it as forces preparing for future events. 1791 CATHERINE OF RUSSIA

PREVIEW: IMF BAILOUT: Colleague Joseph Sternberg of WSJ comments on the hypothetical that the IMF moves to bailout the debt-laden economies of London. More. 1901 THE ROYAL EXCHANGE AND THE BANK OF ENGLAND Comment on Excerpt from "P-STERNBERG-IMF-9-2.mp3": This segment introduces a significant debate concerning the International Monetary Fund (IMF) potentially bailing out the French and British governments. The idea is presented as if these major economies were small countries like Argentina, struggling and "out of whack". Joseph Sternberg explains the necessity and purpose of this debate, ultimately clarifying that both France and Britain are considered "too big to be bailed out" by the IMF. The segment sets the stage for understanding why such a notion, despite its apparent unfeasibility, has become a topic of discussion in London and Paris. Comment on Excerpt from "P-STERNBERG-IMF-9-2.mp3": This excerpt clarifies why the notion of an IMF bailout for France and Britain is largely symbolic rather than practical. The reality is that these countries are "far too big" for the IMF to realistically bail them out, despite its approximately one trillion US dollars in lending capacity. This capacity is sufficient for smaller economies like Pakistan or Greece, as seen 15 years ago with the Greek bailouts. However, for economies ranked as the sixth and seventh largest globally, with immense debt piles, the IMF cannot provide meaningful external assistance. Therefore, the crux of the debate in these countries is not about the feasibility of a bailout, but rather about the "policy conditions" the IMF would impose if such a bailout were to occur.
PREVIEW: KING CHARLES.: Colleague Gregory Copley comments on the challenge for the King to steady the brittle Starmer government and at the same time to reassure the public watching the doubts in leadership. More. 1901 OLD HOUSE Comment on Excerpt from "P-COPLEY-KING-9-2.mp3": This segment introduces a discussion about the upcoming state visit of Donald Trump hosted by the King and Queen of England, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. The conversation highlights significant turmoil within the London government, citing unresolved issues such as migration, unfulfilled promises by the Labour Party, an unsettled budget, and a dispute in Downing Street between the Prime Minister and the Chancellor of the Exchequer. A key question posed is whether the King can intervene to help calm the situation, similar to his earlier role in quelling riots related to migration. However, the effectiveness of his intervention in the current climate remains unclear, with Gregory Copley noting the King must be careful not to take sides. Comment on Excerpt from "P-COPLEY-KING-9-2.mp3": This excerpt delves into the King's influence and the delicate balance he must maintain to avoid appearing political, especially concerning "visceral street causes" related to people's economic well-being. While the King can exert pressure on Prime Minister Starmer, Starmer is described as "tonedeaf," failing to recognize help. Notably, the King previously "bailed out" the Labour administration by calming massive street riots and is expected to do so again. However, there's a limit to how much people can be appeased when continually ignored or subjected to adverse social and economic conditions. The segment also suggests a potential "revolt" and leadership change within the Labour Party at some point.
