The Comanche peaked and then fell in the decades between 1840 and 1880. In this episode, we discuss that story arc. From the Comanche retaliation against Texas for the Council House Massacre, through a brief peace with the Texans, drought and declining bison herds, collapsing population, and finally to the back-and-forth relations with the US that culminated in the reservation period. In the middle of this story, Quanah Parker emerges as a great Comanche warrior who would then, in an unexpected pivot, urge assimilation as the last, best hope for his people.

The Comanche entered the southern great plains slowly and imperceptibly, ultimately to find themselves one part of a very restless world. There were imperial tensions between European powers, as well as ancient rivalries and territorial ambitions of powerful native nations. It wasn't exactly a game of thrones, but it was a contest nonetheless. Listen in as Chris and Jason discuss the Comanche's war of annihilation against the Apache, their tumultuous relationship with the Spanish, shrewd alliances with other native nations, and the peace that was engineered in the twilight of Spanish power in North America.

"They came to the plains from the west, slipping through the canyon passes of the Sangre de Cristo Range in small, roving bands...They were few in number, possessed little wealth...New Mexico's Spanish officials noted their arrival to the southern grasslands in 1706 and wrote it off as a minor event. Yet by midcentury, the Numunu, then bearing the name Comanches, had unhinged the world they had almost unnoticeably entered"So begins historian Pekka Hamalainen's epic history, The Comanche Empire. They were the continent's greatest horsemen and possibly the most ferocious warriors in history. In the first of several episodes on the Comanches, Chris and Jason trace their origins as hunter gatherers in vast North American wilderness, their migration south, and the fearsome but adaptable culture they forged on their path to dominance of the southern Great Plains.

Back in 2014, the CDC labeled sleep deprivation a public health epidemic— with over 70 million adults suffering from a sleep disorder.On today's episode I interviewed sleep and rest expert, Amanda Slinger to explore the topic. Amanda has a medical background and over 20 years of experience working in educating organisations on the critical role that rest and sleep play in optimising individual and collective performance.

Mental health remains a pressing issue across industries, but the construction industry stands out in an alarming way. 77% of employees say that they experience burnout at their current job. At best, this means increased sick days and reduced productivity in companies. At worst, this means an increased risk of suicide, with the construction industry having a suicide rate 4.5 times higher than the general public. This is unacceptable. The construction industry and the trades experience uniquely challenging work conditions such as long hours, job uncertainty, and harsh working environments. This takes a toll on both the mental and physical health of employees, and often leads to unhealthy coping strategies, such as abusing alcohol and drugs to cope with stress. As men, it's often difficult to admit when we need to take a break, and even more difficult to admit when we need support. I've found that having candid conversations goes a long, long way, and I've seen first hand the change that comes from it on more occasions than I can count.It takes courage to admit that you're struggling, and it opens up a space for others to do the same. Research shows that companies who invest in effective mental health solutions receive $2.18 for every dollar spent.

We live in an era where technology has connected us in more ways than ever before, yet the human connection, the one that truly matters, often eludes us. We find ourselves in a paradoxical situation: amid all the likes, shares, and comments, genuine emotional understanding and empathy can be in short supply. It's as if we've forgotten how to truly connect with each other on a deeply emotional level.Dr. Mark Goulston is an American psychiatrist, keynote speaker, executive coach and consultant who has worked with fortune 500 companies, universities and other organisations.

For this Side Mirror episode I am joined by Emma Weber. Emma is the CEO and Founder of Lever – Transfer of Learning. Emma is an authority on the subject of learning transfer and she's made it her mission in life to make a difference to learning transfer worldwide. She found herself frustrated by the amount of learning which is wasted when it fails to make it across the knowing – doing gap and so Emma created the Turning Learning into Action™ methodology to solve that problem. This methodology is now deployed throughout 20 countries and in 12 languages by a talented team and Coach M, a conversational intelligence chatbot. Coach M is challenging the industry's thinking about what's possible in learning transfer. Emma shares her passion and expertise through her writing – her first book 'Turning Learning into Action: a proven methodology for effective transfer of learning' was published by Kogan Page in 2014 and she is excited to have her 1st co-written ATD press book launching this spring ‘Designing Virtual Learning for Application & Impact.' In our conversation we talk about Emma's career journey, how she transitioned into running her own business and how she is now leveraging technology to facilitate learning transfer and make coaching accessible to more employees in the workplace.

Self-reflection helps to guide you through life's never ending cycle of thoughts, emotions, and experiences. It gives you the space to unravel your emotions and beliefs revealing hidden truths and profound insights. In moments of introspection, you move beyond the noise of the external world and reconnect with who you really are. Self-reflection a mirror that reflects the truth of your life, helping you to confront fears and celebrate achievements. It's the constant dialogue with your inner self, a never ending exploration that leads to self-awareness and personal growth. Through self-reflection, you recognise patterns, acknowledge vulnerabilities, and reclaim the power to make conscious choices. It leads to the practice of self-compassion, as you learn to embrace your imperfections without judgment.

The balance between ambition and being present is a delicate dance that many individuals find themselves navigating in today's fast-paced world. Ambition drives us to set goals, achieve milestones, and reach for new heights, which is undoubtedly a valuable trait. However, the pursuit of ambition can sometimes lead to a state of perpetual striving, where the focus shifts to the future and the next achievement, leaving the present moment neglected.Being present, on the other hand, involves immersing oneself in the here and now, fully engaging with the current experience. It's about savoring life's small moments, cultivating mindfulness, and finding contentment in the present circumstances. The challenge arises when these two seemingly opposing forces intersect.Striking a balance between ambition and being present requires a mindful approach. It's about recognizing that while ambition propels us forward, the journey itself is equally valuable. Being present doesn't mean giving up on goals; rather, it involves infusing intention and awareness into each step taken towards those goals.Mindful ambition involves setting objectives, working diligently towards them, and yet maintaining an awareness of the present moment. It's finding joy in the process and celebrating progress along the way. This balance prevents burnout, nurtures mental well-being, and fosters a sense of fulfillment.Ultimately, embracing both ambition and presence allows for a more holistic and enriched life. By intertwining these two aspects, individuals can pursue their ambitions with vigor while also cultivating a deeper connection to the richness of life as it unfolds in each moment.Today's guest discusses strategies in finding such a balance. Lauren Barirani is a registered clinical counsellor with experience working with children, youth, and adults. She is the founder of Apricott Wellness.

The relationship between financial wellbeing and mental health is a delicate balance that profoundly impacts our lives. Financial struggles can cast shadows of stress and anxiety, while stability can lift our mindset with a sense of security. This connection is not one-sided. Just as financial challenges can harm mental health, mental health issues can lead to financial missteps, creating a cycle. Roughly 46 percent of people with debt also have a mental health diagnosis - it is clear we need to do more. The key lies in embracing a holistic approach that nurtures both aspects. Seeking help for mental health is wise, just as consulting a financial advisor is for money management. True financial wellbeing involves living within your means, setting achievable goals, and understanding that happiness isn't solely tied to wealth.The intertwining of financial wellbeing and mental health is a crucial aspect of our lives. By tending to both, we can create a balance that resonates with our sense of purpose and builds resilience. It's about empowering yourself to navigate challenges while taking care of your wellbeing beyond monetary measures.Today's guests, Eleni Prontzos and Bryn Swayze are focused on helping bridge the gap between financial and mental health. They came into the financial industry wanting to make a meaningful, long-term impact in the lives of Clients and their loved ones. They are dedicated to educating clients while giving comprehensive, up to date financial advice to help you achieve your goals.

Elsewhere Pete faces a difficult choice between two of his great loves, we witness the beginning of a family feud, and request your tales of footballers at weddings.This show is sponsored by bet365Search ‘Football Ramble’ on social media to find us, and email us here: show@thefootballramble.comFurther reading:A confused Thibaut Courtois on Antonio Conte and Eden Hazard:http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/premier-league/chelsea-team-news-manchester-united-eden-hazard-thibaut-courtois-antonio-conte-a8232716.htmlSadio Mane on Jurgen Klopp:http://www.skysports.com/football/news/11669/11269844/sadio-mane-says-jurgen-klopps-team-ethic-is-the-key-to-liverpools-successChris Brunt is unimpressed by Alan Pardew’s tactical prowess:http://www.skysports.com/football/news/11698/11269472/chris-brunt-critical-of-alan-pardews-tactics-in-west-broms-defeat-to-huddersfield See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
Pep Guardiola gets his first trophy as Man City manager, inspires another dissection of Arsenal and is accused of harbouring a fugitive all at once, while Jose Mourinho emerges victorious in a rare on-pitch ding dong with Antonio Conte, and down at The Hawthorns Alan Pardew is as bemused as the rest of us.On top of all this there’s a warlock, an earful for Tony Pulis and though there may be bad blood in the correspondence section there’s also a trip to Kevin Keegan’s Soccer Circus and a humble gift from Sol Campbell.Search ‘Football Ramble’ on social media to find us, and email us here: show@thefootballramble.comFurther reading:Pep Guardiola is defiant about his yellow ribbon:https://www.theguardian.com/football/2018/feb/25/pep-guardiola-carabao-cup-push-manchester-city-trebleIndependiente’s attempt at wizardry:https://www.fourfourtwo.com/features/independiente-bring-along-a-sorcerer-help-them-win-recopa-sudamericanaSunderland vs Middlesbrough highlights:http://www.skysports.com/watch/video/sports/football/competitions/championship/11266018/sunderland-3-3-middlesbrough See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
The FA Cup has delivered again, as just when it looked like Man City might win everything, up stepped Wigan, and then for some reason Peter Reid. Composing ourselves after this development we look ahead to the Carabao Cup Final, look back at Pete’s red carpet adventures and reflect on Nobby Solano’s choice of holiday destination. Meanwhile, on the same show, Patrice Evra Patrice Evras, Mesut Ozil gets the sniffles and we take a brief moment to remember to worry about England.

This week brings wonderful drama from the FA Cup courtesy of Rochdale and their manager Keith Hill, a man who in a way is all of our dads, Carlos Carvalhal distracts from a goalless draw with some welcome Police Academy chat and in The Championship Mimin’ Mick McCarthy is gloriously tetchy after the Old Farm Derby.As well as all this precious gold there’s the novel concept of tackling above the head, some retro Portsmouth organisational slapstick and some sausage-based fun north of the border.

After a time getting acquainted with Claude Puel’s radiator Riyad Mahrez is ready for FA Cup action, as are Spurs as they head to Rochdale’s obstacle course of a pitch, and Man United hope to cause an upset by finding a way past Huddersfield. There are special days for Neymar and Kevin Keegan, an expose on the devious Going for Glold tactics of our dear host and a lot of painful, disruptive head turning.

This show features that rarest of beasts; a happy Pete Donaldson, giddy from a Newcastle win and a mutant chicken binge. Not only that, we have the North London Derby, chaos between Stoke and Brighton and more importantly, a penis being seen. If that isn’t enough there’s also time for revelations about football’s bald illuminati, Tim Sherwood’s surprising sideline and our interest being piqued by the concept of a solution to the “not quite a yellow, not quite a red” problem.

The North London Derby looms and will be particularly interesting as diving has now officially been declared fine, Ederson eases Man City’s injury crisis by reinventing himself as a midfielder and David Moyes gets a cheerleader in the form of fun-time Patrice Evra. We also shine a light on the maudlin nature of Antonio Conte’s current work, discover that fruit may work as an injury treatment and peak behind the curtain to meet playground bully Marcus Speller.This show is sponsored by bet365Search ‘Football Ramble’ on social media to find us, and email us here: show@thefootballramble.comFurther reading:Pochettino on diving:https://www.theguardian.com/football/2018/feb/06/mauricio-pochettino-dele-alli-dive-tottenham-trickeryEderson the midfielder:https://www.fourfourtwo.com/features/ederson-i-could-play-midfield-man-city-and-i-can-score-free-kicks-tooRiyad Mahrez’s Leicester troubles:http://www.skysports.com/football/news/11712/11239423/riyad-mahrez8217s-leicester-city-legacy-sad-if-this-story-is-tarnished See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
As another transfer window slams dramatically and confusingly shut we do our best to assess who has done well and what Arsenal were actually planning, Dele Alli shows all the signs of following in the footsteps of many an England great at the World Cup and those resurgent swans of Swansea start to fly up the table. Within our usual ‘professionality’ there’s also talk of club therapists leaking information to the press, confusion at the gates of Wembley and a delightful airport tantrum.
