I'm your China travel guide, Missionary Ben, recording today from Lima, Peru… I’m in a bit of a hurry today, but wanted to touch on a few different things. First, I wanted to mention the tragic earthquake that happened in Venezuela the other day and what I know. Second, every time the World Cup rolls around I remember my first World Cup viewing experience, which took place 20 years ago in a little dodgy hotel in the Tibetan Outback (2006). I also remember the second most unique viewing experience, which was 8 years later, and also in the foothills of Tibet. (I also remember playing in our little Tibetan World Cup at 13,000 ft!) After the World Cup recollections, we look at a new article published by an old American friend who has decades of experience in China….

Today’s episode is a lightly edited version of an interview I did with Ray Comfort* one year ago this week. We spoke via Zoom from my hotel on the China border (Ray was at his office in LA) about my deportation and attempts to re-enter China, the dangers of being arrested as a spy, Ray's early memories of "starving China", preaching amidst persecution, and more. I also took some time to explain to Ray that his adopted home state of California is matched up with Xinjiang Province for prayer in our Pray for China scheme. *Ray Comfort, the founder of Living Waters Publications, has been faithfully equipping Christians in biblical evangelism for decades, and his message, Hell’s Best Kept Secret, had a huge impact on me as a teenager way back in 1999.

What happens when consumer advocates, real estate researchers, and industry leaders sit down to debate commissions, referral fees, private listings, and market concentration?   A conversation that's guaranteed to challenge your assumptions.   In this episode, James Dwiggins and Keith Robinson welcome Stephen Brobeck and Wendy Gilch from the Consumer Policy Center to discuss three controversial reports examining buyer agent commissions, referral fees, and Compass's growing market influence. They break down why commission rates haven't changed as much as many expected after the NAR settlement, why referral fee models are drawing increased scrutiny, and whether private listings and double-ended transactions could create unintended consequences for consumers.   Whether you agree with their conclusions or not, this is one of the most important conversations happening in real estate today.   Links to the reports mentioned in the episode: Real Estate Referral Fees Harm Consumers Why Decoupling Commissions Failed To Lower Housing Costs Compass Threatens to Dominate Residential Real Estate Market   Connect with Wendy here.

Gem Of the Day (G.O.D.) about how the Bible helps you find your way

Paul Ingram's decades-long research reveals a striking truth: values alignment accounts for more than 30% of job satisfaction—ten times more important than salary. His investigation began when he observed seasoned executives emerging from coaching sessions visibly transformed by newfound clarity about what mattered to them. This sparked a curiosity that led him to discover that organizations with aligned values experience higher collaboration, trust, and performance, while those with misaligned values face higher turnover and diminished engagement. The Kravis Professor of Business at Columbia Business School carries a laminated card of his top values and reflects on them daily before entering his workplace, grounding himself with presence of mind that proves invaluable during intense conflicts. He describes a moment when someone lost self-control in his professional world, and rather than responding with anxiety or aggression, his values-centered mindset allowed him to remain calm and curious, preventing what could have been a career-ending outcome. Through his laddering technique, Paul has surveyed over 10,000 people worldwide and discovered that roughly 70-80% think about values only occasionally and lack the language to articulate them. His mission extends to helping people move beyond vague aspirations about values to concrete daily practices that embed values into decision-making. Paul Ingram's work demonstrates that clarity about values is not a luxury but a fundamental necessity for anyone seeking to make meaningful decisions and build organizations where people thrive. His new book from Harvard Business Review Press, What Do You Really Stand For? The One Question That Will Transform Your Work and Life, provides comprehensive frameworks and practical tools to help you clarify your values and apply them to your leadership journey.

On this episode of CFO at Home, Vince talks with David Nassief, who went from being fired and nearly broke at 63, to achieving a seven-figure net worth by 69. David explains how decades of procrastination, market timing, and inconsistent 401(k) contributions left him unprepared, then describes how he rebuilt by turning off financial ·noise,· studying extensively, and creating a one-page ·Wealth Compass· with nine trail markers and five North Star principles, to stay focused and avoid shiny-object mistakes. David discusses how he attributes his results to investing a large portion of income monthly, using low-cost index funds, and taking advantage of market volatility to buy more when markets fell. They also discuss the destructive impact of fees, skepticism of market forecasts, the challenge of getting back in the market after timing exits, and David·s key tips: get out of debt, follow the money, and prioritize self-education.

A weekly program featuring the latest in Bluegrass Music track distribution by record labels such as Pinecastle, Billy Blue, Compass, Mountain Home Music, Mountain Fever Records, Turnberry Records, Sound Biscuit, Gravy Records, Sugar Hill, Rebel Records, Rounder Records and music distribution sources such as Get it Played and Airplay Direct.

Something feels off, and you can't tell whether it means “leave” or “lean in”. That limbo is exhausting, especially when everyone around you has an opinion. We talk about a clearer way to decide: how to recognise what is genuinely compatible for you, and how to stop outsourcing your power when fear, insecurity, conditioning, or past trauma is clouding your intuition. We bring in a framework that makes the fuzzy stuff practical: starved, hungry, content, and overflow. If you feel hungry in a relationship, career, business, habit, or goal, it doesn't automatically mean it's wrong. Hunger can simply mean you have needs and you're ready to be honest about them. Starvation is different, and we speak plainly about why ignoring hunger can spiral into despair, numbness, and feeling trapped. The aim is not constant happiness or relentless self-improvement, but a life with real fulfilment and steadier contentment. Then we get grounded. This is nervous system work and embodiment, not just mindset. We share simple ways to “metabolise” what you're going through: a minute with your breath, hands on heart, kind self-talk, or moving your body when stillness makes you more irritated. From that place, boundaries get simpler, clarity arrives, and the next step becomes visible even when you don't have the full plan. If this lands, subscribe so you don't miss what's next, share the episode with a friend who's stuck in the “should I stay or should I go?” loop, and leave a review so more women can find this work. What are you hungry for right now?More from me at KirstyDee.comText The Show/ Fan Mail Here

Broadcast on KSQD, Santa Cruz on 6-18-2026:>/p> Dr. Dawn opens with Virginia Tech research showing yellow fever mosquitoes can learn to associate DEET with blood meals after just four pairings, with over 60% of trained mosquitoes lunging at DEET alone. She emphasizes using DEET at sufficient concentration since under-application could teach mosquitoes a "life lesson" that compromises one of our best protections against malaria, dengue, and Zika. A controversial new theory from the University of Bonn proposes that iron-rich macrophages in the pigeon liver serve as the long-elusive magnetic compass. Pigeons given drugs that wiped out their liver macrophages became completely disoriented when released on a cloudy day, though critics argue the trace iron is too weakly magnetic and birds may have been agitated by the drug itself. A COVID-era crowd-movement study found that in 32 of 33 trials, people preferred to turn counterclockwise regardless of handedness or culture (Spain and Japan). Animals show no such bias, suggesting a uniquely human biochemical asymmetry—Dr. Dawn speculates this may relate to left-hemisphere language centers near the inner ear, and notes racetracks worldwide run counterclockwise. A caller in Ben Lomond reports mouth irritation from FYGG nanohydroxyapatite toothpaste. Dr. Dawn suspects bystander ingredients (flavorings, paste-consistency agents) rather than the hydroxyapatite itself—which acts as remineralizing "grout" filling tiny tooth cracks—and recommends switching to a different fluoride-free brand like Tom's after the caller confirmed reaction on rechallenge. The same caller asks about turmeric liver toxicity. Dr. Dawn explains that reputable companies following good manufacturing practices stay within 5-10% accuracy on dosing, and her recommended dose (one teaspoon turmeric, one-eighth teaspoon black pepper, around 5g daily) stays far below toxic levels. Curcumin inhibits NF-kappa-B, the master switch for inflammatory cascades. An emailer in Bonny Doon asks about treating chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy. Dr. Dawn recommends electrical acupuncture which works more than half the time, combined with methylated B12 (2,000 micrograms daily), methylated folate (1,000 micrograms twice daily), alpha lipoic acid (300mg twice daily, also effective for tinnitus), and acetyl-L-carnitine (1,500mg daily). She also recommends photomodulation devices using 635nm red light with near-infrared. A caller raises magnetic field effects on humans. Dr. Dawn discusses human adaptability, referencing Chernobyl black moths that increased melanin epigenetically and ongoing efforts to upregulate radiation-resistance genes via mRNA for future space travel. The conversation turns to evolution of unique human hair patterns, with Dr. Dawn proposing sexual selection (armpit/pubic hair for pheromones) and neoteny (women's facial smoothness resembling infants triggering protective responses) as explanations. Dr. Dawn responds to a crowdsourced question about why Santa Cruz "makes people weird," attributing it to the area's low penalties for aberrant behavior and high tolerance for nonconformity. She explains how mirroring within small subgroups creates internal conformity even amid outward "weirdness," with sixties counterculture as a foundational influence. For another crowdsourced question on vitamins for women in their mid-twenties, Dr. Dawn recommends prenatal vitamins because they include extra iron for menstruating women plus adequate B vitamins. For those eating standard American diets or in dorms, she suggests B100 complex, 500mg calcium, and vitamin C.

Lexi Brine didn't follow a straight line to where she is now — and that's the point. After five years in luxury cosmetics marketing at Estée Lauder, she found herself drawn elsewhere, eventually landing at NYU Law after a stint volunteering on a 2008 presidential campaign. From there: litigation at a corporate law firm, a hard exit after becoming a mother, a wandering search through legal recruiting and LSAT tutoring, and finally a real estate career at Compass that finally clicked. Along the way, she co-founded Inc., a networking community supporting women through their own career transitions. In this conversation, Lexi talks candidly about ignoring well-meaning advice, treating “failures” as data rather than dead ends, and building a personal brand rooted in authenticity instead of perfection!

Temperatures are expected to reach as high as 98 degrees Thursday, but high humidity will bring the heat index, or “feels like” temperature, as high as 110. The advisory could be extended, though, as Friday's heat index is forecast to reach 105. In other news, University Park residents are voicing concerns about traffic and pedestrian safety over an application by Northway Christian Church to house a private school next year because it would be too close to a nearby public school; a highly anticipated state psychiatric hospital is opening in Dallas is a 292-bed facility; Dirk Nowitzki did not see his former teammate Jalen Brunson becoming an NBA Finals MVP; and Dallas musician, Christopher Holt will be hitting the road this summer with Tom Petty's right-hand man Mike Campbell and the Dirty Knobs.

Reshaping the Future of Healthcare– Genetic Screening with Emily Goldberg of JScreen On this episode of Her Health Compass, Heather and Yonni explore something with the potential to reshape the future of healthcare — genetic screening. Many people assume genetics only matter when there's a strong family history of disease, but advances in screening show that understanding your genetic risk can guide prevention, early detection, and even life-saving decisions. Heather and Yonni are joined by Emily Goldberg of JScreen, a national nonprofit providing accessible genetic testing and education. Together, they dive into how genetic screening actually works, who should consider it, and what your DNA can reveal about risks for hereditary conditions like breast cancer. They also unpack the biggest misconceptions about genetic testing — and how knowing your genetics can empower listeners to take real control of their health. Emily Goldberg serves as the Director of Genetic Counseling Services at jscreen, where she is dedicated to helping individuals understand and manage their genetic health. With dual bachelor's degrees in biology and psychology from Brandeis University and a master's degree in Human Genetics from Sarah Lawrence College, Ms. Goldberg has been a certified genetic counselor since 2011. Prior to joining jscreen, she worked at Montefiore Medical Center in the Bronx, specializing in prenatal and cancer genetics. In addition to her role at jscreen, Ms. Goldberg is committed to education, serving as an Instructor at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine and adjunct faculty at Sarah Lawrence College, where she teaches and mentors future genetic counselors. Her expertise and dedication make her a key member of the jscreen team. Find Yonni & Heather here https://www.herhealthcompass.com/

It's Fed Day, and the real estate industry is fighting for control. In Episode 365 of This Week in Real Estate, we're going live on one of the biggest housing market days of the month: the Federal Reserve's latest rate announcement. Mortgage rates, buyer demand, affordability, home prices, and market confidence are all tied to what the Fed says next, and we'll be watching the announcement as it hits near the end of the show. But the Fed is only one part of the story. This week, we're breaking down a wild set of real estate headlines that all point back to one major question: who controls the housing market now? We'll cover the growing tension inside NAR, Inman's new advisory council featuring leaders from Zillow, Compass, and HomeServices, the latest twist in the Zillow, Compass, MRED, and CoStar legal fight, and why eXp says the off-MLS listing debate keeps leaving out the buyer. We'll also dig into Google's nationwide real estate listing rollout and what it could mean for agents, brokerages, portals, and listing visibility. If Google becomes a bigger home search destination, what happens to Zillow, Realtor.com, Homes.com, MLSs, and the broader real estate portal ecosystem? Plus, Bed Bath & Beyond is acquiring Fathom Holdings in a $53.8 million deal, and we're looking at the SEC filing tied to the REAL and ReMax transaction. Was the mysterious "Party C" possibly eXp? We'll talk through what the filing says, what it does not say, and why brokerage consolidation may be one of the most important trends agents are underestimating. Then we'll shift to the housing market itself. Record home prices, elevated mortgage rates, weaker purchase demand, rising contract cancellations in former hot seller's markets, and new signs that buyers may be reemerging. Is this finally a housing market turning point, or are affordability issues still keeping buyers stuck on the sidelines? Join Ray Ellen for tWiRE Episode 365 as we unpack the biggest real estate news, housing market trends, mortgage rate updates, private listing battles, portal wars, brokerage consolidation, and the Fed's latest interest rate decision. What do you think matters most for the housing market right now: the Fed, mortgage rates, Google entering listings, Zillow's off-MLS fight, or buyers pulling back?

Host Dr. Alison Leveque introduces the READ podcast and a conversation about effective professional development (PD), The Windward School's PD structures, the “Mississippi Miracle,” and current PD trends. Betsy MacDermott-Duffy shares the COMPASS framework for research-based PD: tying learning to content, making it ongoing, modeling with metacognition, active participation, advice/feedback through coaching, shared collaboration, and self-reflection, emphasizing student outcomes and fragile transfer without sustained support. Colleen McGlynn describes Windward's layered PD system, including assistant teacher training, weekly Friday PD, and monthly content meetings guided by teacher needs, coordinator coaching, and research trends, with time to practice and follow up. Dana Carr-Ford and Kinjal Nicholls discuss Mississippi's fourth-grade reading gains, attributing success to structured literacy, preservice reform, universal screening, strong accountability including a third-grade gate, and sustained training, then highlight growing focus on writing, executive function, AI limits for struggling readers, and emerging “math wars.” 00:00 Podcast Welcome00:38 Meet Betsy MacDermott-Duffy01:26 Why PD Often Fails02:29 COMPASS Content Focus04:50 Ongoing Follow Up07:26 Modeling In Action09:32 Practice And Participation10:34 Feedback And Coaching11:49 Collaboration And Reflection16:34 Top PD Researchers19:05 Windward PD Workshops Plug19:18 Meet Colleen McGlynn At Windward20:23 How Windward Plans PD25:01 Measuring Impact And Iterating28:35 Advice For Busy Teachers30:39 Five Strategies Takeaway31:28 Mississippi Miracle Explained34:06 Marathon Mindset and PD35:10 Accountability and Third Grade Gate37:25 Structured Literacy Framework38:35 Applying Lessons to New York41:53 Writing Instruction Returns44:42 Executive Function Skills46:04 AI Limits in Learning Support48:00 Math Wars and Explicit Teaching49:39 PD Takeaways and Call to Action51:47 Closing Summary and CoursesProduced by The Windward Institute, a division of The Windward School (NY).www.thewindwardschool.org/wi

Selling a home in Greenwich, Connecticut is not like selling anywhere else. The buyers are sophisticated, the stakes are high, and the margin for error is zero. In this episode of the CT Real Estate Edge Podcast, Rob Weinberg sits down with Jennifer Leahy, one of the most accomplished luxury real estate agents in the country, to talk about what it actually takes to move high-end properties in Fairfield County and beyond. Jennifer leads the Jennifer Leahy Team at Compass, consistently ranked the number one team in Connecticut by Real Trends. With over $1.25 billion in career sales and a client list that spans some of the most discerning buyers and sellers in the tri-state area, Jennifer offers a perspective on the luxury market that is rare, candid, and deeply practical.  This conversation goes beyond the price tags. Jennifer and Rob dig into the psychology of the ultra-luxury transaction, the marketing strategies that actually move eight and nine-figure properties, and why selling at the top of the market demands a completely different playbook. If you are thinking about buying or selling at the upper end of the Connecticut market, this is the episode that will change how you think about the process.

A conversation with Director of Operations and Human Design Practitioner, Michelle Waithe. Essential listening for anyone who has ever wondered if it is okay to choose a life that simply feels good. What happens when two people follow each other from a distance for over a decade, meet briefly, and then discover their connection runs so much deeper than they ever imagined? Michelle Waithe came into my life through a series of synchronicities so specific and so unlikely that I still get chills thinking about them. She became my director of operations, then my collaborator, and somewhere in there, my soul sister. In this conversation, we go everywhere. From the moment she named her foster ducklings after my grandfathers, to her journey from holistic nutritionist to operations director to off-grid homesteader in Northeastern Ontario. We talk about living with type 1 diabetes, what it really means to acclimatize to a life that most people would find deeply uncomfortable, and why joy is not a luxury. It is the whole point. We also talk about grief, slow living, writing cursive letters, making things with your hands, and what it looks and feels like when you stop performing your life and start actually living it.

The generalist agent is disappearing. The ones winning right now aren't trying to be everything to everyone — they're becoming the undeniable expert in one thing.   Valerie Upham, a Compass agent in San Diego, did exactly that. By committing to a single, high-need specialty most agents won't touch, she generated over $475,000 in GCI in 18 months — and $267,000 of that came straight from educational seminars and events.   If you're still chasing every lead in every price point and quietly wondering why you feel replaceable… this episode shows you the opposite move.   In this episode, you'll learn:   The Niche-Down Paradox: Why narrowing her focus to one specialty actually multiplied her referrals — and made her the obvious call. The $267K Seminar Engine: How educational events became her single biggest source of GCI in 18 months. The Room of Two: Why Valerie works a 2-person seminar like a full listing appointment — and the listings it's closed. Fill the Room: The exact channel mix she uses to drive attendance — direct mail to 30-year homeowners, Facebook, NextDoor, LinkedIn, and Eventbrite. The Trust-First Play: How shredding events and her own podcast build relationships years before anyone's ready to list. The Equity Protector: Why she personally manages contractors and renovations to protect a family's return through a major life transition.   Valerie's results weren't luck. The structure behind her niche was built inside Tom Ferry Coaching.   Ready to stop competing as a generalist and become the expert clients seek out?   Schedule a free call with a Tom Ferry consultant to learn more about coaching and see if it's right for you.

Reflections from host Sarah Olivieri ... Strategic Planning as a Rhythm Most nonprofits I talk to are not avoiding strategic planning because they don't believe in it. They're avoiding it because the process is heavy, the resulting document is long and hard to act on, and six months later it feels out of date. So they wait. They wait until something forces the conversation. A new executive director. A board crisis. A funder asking for it. By the time planning starts, the stakes feel enormous, the calendar feels short, and the team feels exhausted before the first meeting. They waited so long, planning is an extra activity that requires planning to plan. The plan that comes out of that environment is almost always too rigid, too future-locked, and too disconnected from the work people are actually doing. This is the structural pattern. Strategic planning for nonprofits gets framed as an event. A rare event. Rare things carry pressure. Pressure makes the process worse, which confirms everyone's belief that planning is painful, which makes the next planning cycle even longer to start. The whole loop is fixable. The fix is not a better planning process but a better planning rhythm. A recent podcast interview with Sophia Shaw left me thinking not just about how to do strategic planning well, but what actually creates staying power in a strategic plan.  A Plan as a Compass, Not a Roadmap The mental model most nonprofits inherited for strategic planning is the roadmap. You start here. You end there. You draw the route. You follow it. A roadmap is built for a destination that is completely knowable and a route that is predictable. But most nonprofits are can't follow a predictable route to well known destination. Most nonprofits are pioneering, forging a path to an imagined, but not fully knowable destination.  When pioneering, a compass is much more useful. A compass is different. A compass tells you the direction. It does not tell you the exact route. When the terrain changes, you keep the direction and find or create a new path. The plan still works, because the plan was never about the path. It was about where you're trying to go. In short: A roadmap locks in the route. A compass locks in the direction. Nonprofit terrain changes constantly. Your plan has to be built for that. The work of planning is choosing the direction clearly enough that you can re-route without losing it. When the plan is a compass, leaders stop being afraid of being "wrong." They stop avoiding planning out of fear that they'll commit to something they regret. The plan becomes a tool, not a verdict. Cadence Determines Whether the Plan Is Real Here's the part most planning processes get wrong. They treat the plan as the product. The truth is, the cadence of revisiting the plan is the product. A beautiful 40-page plan that gets opened once a year does less work than a one-page plan that gets revisited every two months. In my own work with organizations, I built a system where staff lead strategic planning every two months. Once a team has done it three or four times, "planning to plan" stops being a thing. The stakes are low. The plan is alive. Course corrections happen in real time, not in a year-end crisis.   Planning becomes a rhythm of re-orienting and re-confirming or refining the path and the destination.  This is what separates a plan that aligns the organization from a plan that sits on a shelf. The plan isn't the product. The cadence is. Short, frequent planning cycles lower the stakes and raise the quality. When planning is a habit, course correction is a small move, not a crisis. The organizations that get value from strategic planning are not the ones with the best document. They're the ones with the shortest distance between "something changed" and "we updated the plan." Short-Term Plans Are Healing for Teams in Crisis There's a specific moment when a six-month or one-year plan does more work than a three-year one. That moment is when an organization is operating without sufficient resources. When people are working in an underresourced environment, asking them to make a long term plan just adds load to an already-overloaded nervous system. A short-term plan does the opposite. It says: here is what we are doing in the next six months, here is what we are not doing, here is how we'll know we did it. That clarity stabilizes the team. The longer-horizon planning can come later, after the stabilization holds. I think of it like getting off a tiki raft. If you're on a small raft in the open ocean, the first goal is not the destination. The first goal is getting on a bigger boat. Everything about reaching a destination feels different once you're on the bigger boat. A short-term plan focused on capacity building, is the plan to get on a bigger boat. This is not a compromise. It is the right tool for the moment. The Plan Is Also the Fundraising Story A lot of nonprofits separate the planning conversation from the fundraising conversation. The planning team meets. The development team meets. The two outputs get stitched together later. This is backwards. The plan is the fundraising story. Donors are not funding programs in the abstract. They're funding a direction. They're funding the answer to "where is this organization going and how will I know if you got there?" If the board chair on one end of the table and the executive director on the other end whisper different answers to that question, no amount of donor stewardship will close the gap. I have watched organizations get major unrestricted gifts almost casually, after the leader simply got clear on the direction and started saying it out loud. One conversation about the vision, one week later, a letter for $100,000 a year for three years. That was not a fundraising win. That was an alignment win, with a check attached. Donors fund direction, not activity. Misalignment between the board and the executive director is a fundraising leak. Clarity at the plan level shows up as ease at the donor level. When the plan is clear and the team is aligned, fundraising stops feeling like persuasion. It feels like an invitation. Gathering the Data Should Not Be A Part of the Planning Process One thing that makes frequent planning hard to imagine for many folks is that they have been told that in order to generate a great plan, they need to gather data from stakeholders: the community, the team, the board, etc. This makes the process of planning very laborious, but there's something even more important going on here, and this should have your alarms going off like crazy. The fact that this data collection needs to happen for strategic planning means that data collection is not happening as a regular part of identifying whether or not programs are running as well as they can. It means that conversations and other forms of data collection to understand what the community needs and what donors want to support and what makes them feel invested are not a routine part of operating. This is a problem in how many non-profits operate: collecting data about the impacts of your programs collecting data about the needs of the people you serve collecting data about how your donors are responding and how to communicate with them better These should be part of daily operations, just like bookkeeping. Yes, strategic planning is a time to review data and analyze trends to inform decision making, but if you don't already have this data being collected as a regular part of operating, then your plan should include increasing your capacity so that you begin doing that. What Shifts When You Treat Planning as a Rhythm When leaders stop seeing planning as an event and start running it as a rhythm, several things change at once. What shifts: Planning stops being scary, because no single planning session is high-stakes. The plan stops being a document and starts being a tool the team actually uses. The board moves up to governance and out of operations. Fundraising gets easier, because the story is already clear. The executive director stops being the single point of strategic memory. None of this requires a heavier process. It requires a lighter, more frequent one.

We often hear about the sky-high commissions, the glamorous penthouses and the thrill of closing a deal but rarely do we hear about the emotional toll, the stress and the sacrifices behind the scenes.

We're at a pivotal moment in world geopolitics. Increasingly the masks and the gloves are both off - but it's not a binary choice any more between two sets of suits in slightly different coloured ties: now we have the right showing its true colours  - and a chance for the progressive majority in this country to find its feet and lead us towards a genuinely thoughtful, emotionally literate, high-bandwidth politics that ditches the toxic tribalism and instead lays the ground for a future that could actually work. We're joined this week by Neal Lawson, co-founder and Executive Director of the progressive pressure group, Compass; and Rupert Read, Co-Director of the Climate Majority Project. Neal is a member of the Labour Party, and Rupert of the Green party and we came together to discuss the forthcoming by-election in Makerfield, where Andy Burnham, Mayor of Greater Manchester is standing as a candidate, with a view to standing for leadership of the Labour Party if he wins.  His main challenger is the Reform party led by Nigel Farage.  The Greens are newly invigorated after their recent win in the Gorton and Denton by-election in Manchester, so there has been a lot of conversation in progressive circles as to whether the Greens should step away to give Burnham a clear run. This seemed a good moment to have a vigorous conversation - to explore the possibilities and potential and the routes forward should Burnham win.

The Industry Relations Podcast is now available on your favorite podcast player! Overview Rob and Greg recap their time at the Signal conference before diving into one of the biggest debates facing organized real estate: what exactly is the MLS supposed to be? The conversation centers on "Pool," ThousandWatt's thought experiment for a national home exchange that would compensate listing contributors and charge data users. Rob argues the concept reveals a growing belief that the MLS is primarily a data repository, while Greg sees it as a modernized form of cooperation. From there, the discussion expands into the purpose of MLSs, the difference between cooperation and marketing, portal participation, private listing debates, government intervention, and whether the industry is losing sight of its core mission. Key Takeaways Rob discusses his new consulting engagement with Compass and why he believes independent opinions remain critical. Highlights from the Signal conference, including the branding lessons behind Liquid Death and ThousandWatt's "Pool" concept. Rob reveals Pool closely mirrors the Nexus MLS model he previously attempted to build. A debate over whether MLSs are fundamentally data repositories or broker cooperatives. Greg and Rob clash over the relationship between cooperation, compensation, marketing, and listing distribution. Discussion of off-market listings, seller choice, "velvet rope" marketing, and government involvement in real estate policy. Why both hosts believe the industry needs a clearer answer to the question: "What is the MLS?"

I was blessed to sit down once again with Pastor Doug Wilson in his Idaho office to discuss a variety of China-related topics, including Trump's China tactics and whether or not Doug thinks he'll ever stand on the Great Wall of China. We also spent quite a few minutes discussing his early years in Japan, which was sort of unplanned. The conversation was fascinating and fun and we only stopped because of time restraints. I have a few more questions that I had to leave for a future conversation. Here's the link to our previous conversation back in the Fall of 2025, of which I wrote the following... In our 30+ minute conversation, we touched on many topics including the Great Leap Forward, Mao’s Great Famine, Doug’s Submarine Adventures with a Taiwanese crew, the China Legacies of Richard Nixon and Jimmy Carter, the Tiananmen Square massacre (and revival), China’s modern-day revival, C.S. Lewis’s 1946 China optimism vs. Doug’s (short-term) pessimism, Hebrews 13:3 and how to pray for the persecuted, and PrayforChina.us’s helpful strategy! https://pubtv.flfnetwork.com/tabs/audio/podcasts/30293/episodes/133 We would welcome donations to help us equip pastors in the Chinese house church network I mentioned in my conversation with Doug.
