In this week's episode of WSJ's Take On the Week, co-host Telis Demos and guest host Miriam Gottfried discuss the Supreme Court case challenging President Trump's reciprocal tariffs and how that's playing out in the markets. Next, they look at affordability as the winning message from recent elections, such as Zohran Mamdani's successful campaign to be the next mayor of New York City. Plus, they explore the recent drama in the private credit market after executives at Blackstone downplayed the “cockroach” fears sparked by JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon.  After the break, Miriam is joined by Michael Nathanson and Robert Fishman, senior media analysts at MoffettNathanson, to break down the potential Paramount Skydance and Warner Discovery merger. First, the analysts explain why global scale is a necessity for traditional media companies to compete with Disney, and big tech giants like Netflix, Amazon and Google's YouTube. Later, the analysts discuss whether a merger will follow historical examples and fail to generate value for shareholders or whether this time truly is different. This is WSJ's Take On the Week where co-hosts Gunjan Banerji, lead writer for Live Markets, and Telis Demos, Heard on the Street's banking and money columnist, cut through the noise and dive into markets, the economy and finance—the big trades, key players and business news ahead.

Research shows young people are reading less — both in their English classes and for pleasure. According to a study from the University of Florida and University College London, daily reading for pleasure among kids is down 40% over the last 20 years. Experts point to an increase in screen time, overscheduling, and poor literacy education as some of the reasons. So how can we get kids interested in reading again? We discuss it with our guests, and we preview the upcoming Rochester Children and Teens Book Festival.

After losing three straight games by 21 points or more, Lynnell asks the tough question: How important is it for the Commanders to simply compete this Sunday against the Detroit Lions? He explains why, even beyond wins and losses, Washington must show some fight and pride to restore belief in the locker room and among the fan base. Lynnell and Anthony discuss what “competing” actually looks like and what kind of performance would signal that the team hasn't quit on the season.

O PAIGC formalizou o apoio ao candidato presidencial independente Fernando Dias da Costa. O acordo surge depois da rejeição da candidatura do presidente do PAIGC às presidenciais e da coligação PAI-Terra Ranka às legislativas. Em entrevista à RFI, Domingos Simões Pereira, presidente do partido PAIGC, explica que “perante a supressão quase total dos direitos fundamentais, não há sacrifício que não possa ser consentido” para “combater esta tentativa de impor tiranias no nosso país”. O Partido Africano para a Independência da Guiné e Cabo verde, PAIGC, formalizou esta segunda-feira, 03 de Novembro, o apoio ao candidato presidencial independente Fernando Dias da Costa, herdeiro do barrete vermelho de Kumba Ialá e dirigente de uma das alas do PRS, Partido da Renovação Social. O acordo surge depois da rejeição da candidatura do presidente do PAIGC, Domingos Simões Pereira, às presidenciais e da coligação PAI-Terra Ranka às legislativas. RFI Português: Em que é que consiste este acordo? Domingos Simões Pereira, presidente PAIGC: Quem acompanha a actualidade política guineense deve saber que através de uma manipulação flagrante e escandalosa da nossa Corte Suprema, o PAIGC, os partidos que constituem a coligação e o seu respectivo candidato às eleições presidenciais, que era eu próprio, foram impedidos de participar nas eleições marcadas para o dia 23 de Novembro. Durante as últimas semanas, demos a conhecer o carácter escandaloso dessa decisão porque, por exemplo, no caso do candidato presidencial, a sua candidatura nem chegou à plenária do Supremo Tribunal de Justiça. Portanto, é este o quadro político actual na Guiné-Bissau. O PAIGC e, mais uma vez, os partidos que constituem a nossa condição compreendem que têm uma missão, têm uma missão de representar o povo guineense, de convocar o povo guineense para resgatar a liberdade, os direitos fundamentais e repor a normalidade constitucional. Para esse efeito, dos cinco candidatos que manifestaram interesse de poder contar com o nosso apoio, a nossa análise conduziu-nos à retenção do Fernando Dias da Costa, como o que está melhor posicionado, o que reúne os critérios que nós estabelecemos para decidir aportar-lhe o nosso apoio. Prefiro precisar da seguinte forma: em vez de dizer que nós estamos a aportar o nosso apoio, nós achamos que o Fernando Dias da Costa é a personalidade que neste momento encaixa melhor na nossa estratégia para continuar esta luta e poder resgatar o Estado de Direito Democrático na Guiné-Bissau. Quais foram os compromissos estabelecidos com esta formalização do apoio do PAIGC ao candidato Fernando Dias da Costa? Há aqui um compromisso para a campanha eleitoral, mas para o pós-eleitoral, em caso de vitória, também há? Sim. No pré-eleitoral nós aportamos o apoio possível, convocamos os nossos apoiantes, militantes, simpatizantes, o povo em geral a se juntar a nós e a votar no candidato Fernando Dias da Costa. E o Fernando Dias da Costa se compromete a repor a normalidade constitucional: a permitir que a Assembleia Nacional Popular possa ser restabelecida e, uma vez estabelecida, os outros órgãos de soberania possam funcionar em estrito respeito da nossa Constituição, o que não tem sido o caso. Portanto, temos todos os órgãos da soberania ameaçados ou condicionados no seu funcionamento. Mas quem é que ganha com este acordo? É o PAIGC ou é Fernando Dias? Espero que seja o povo guineense a quem nós estamos a dar uma opção. Porque não participar seria pedir ao povo guineense que seja o próprio a decidir de que forma enfrentar este quadro ditatorial. Sabemos que estamos perante um quadro difícil de explicar. Sabemos que estamos constrangidos a realidades que não são as normais. Compete a partidos políticos, neste caso com a missão histórica que o PAIGC tem, apresentar um quadro que facilite essa decisão junto do povo. É o que nós tentamos fazer. Portanto, não estamos aqui numa avaliação de quem ganha. Estamos numa lógica de propor ao povo guineense uma solução que possa manter-nos activos na luta política para o restabelecimento da normalidade. É a primeira vez que o PAIGC se vê impedido de participar numas eleições na Guiné-Bissau. Estavam esgotadas todas as diligências na Justiça? E porque não o boicote em vez de apoiarem um candidato? Se estavam esgotadas? Eu estou inclinado em dizer-lhe que não. Até porque até este momento, enquanto falamos, não há nenhuma decisão do Supremo Tribunal de Justiça a dizer por que razão é que eu não sou candidato e a participar das eleições presidenciais. Portanto, nós conhecemos as regras e se há uma entidade que se devia sentir obrigada a respeitar as regras, devia ser o Supremo Tribunal de Justiça. Mas esta é a realidade que nós vivemos na Guiné-Bissau. Uma realidade em que é impossível convencer a plenária do Supremo, uma vez que os dossiers não chegam à plenária do Supremo. Portanto, esta é a realidade.  Fala-me em boicote e eu garanto-lhe que nós consideramos essa opção. Mas o fenómeno boicote funciona bem e tem impacto nos países onde há uma prestação de contas, onde há um acompanhamento, onde a ética e a moral acompanham o exercício político. E, portanto, a partir de uma determinada fasquia de abstinência, se consideraria pouco legitimada a decisão popular. Mas nós sabemos o que temos em frente e sabemos que, mesmo que fossem só 10% dos guineenses a votar, Umaro Sissoco Embaló iria se autoproclamar como legítimo, plenamente reconhecido no cargo.  Por isso é que depois de analisar todas as opções, os partidos que constituem a nossa coligação entendem manter-se no activo neste processo político e escolher ir ao combate e tentar, por via do Fernando Dias da Costa, que o povo guineense tenha a opção de poder derrotar Umaro Sissoco Embaló nas urnas. Esta decisão não pode, eventualmente, deixar o eleitorado guineense confuso. Como é que o PAIGC vai convencer os seus eleitores a votar em Fernando Dias? Trata-se de uma candidatura independente, mas Fernando Dias é o herdeiro do barrete vermelho de Kumba Ialá e representa uma ala do PRS. Até agora; PRS e PAIGC eram rivais políticos, deixaram de o ser? Obviamente que não. Até porque se estivéssemos a falar de eleições legislativas, estaríamos a falar de outra forma. Mas deixe-me expandir esta minha análise em três grandes momentos. Penso que há uma coisa que não deve surpreender aos guineenses, desde 2014 que eu fui escolhido para dirigir o PAIGC, em três ocasiões vencemos eleições legislativas e eu nunca deixei de convidar outros partidos, nomeadamente o PRS, a nos acompanhar na governação. Tanto em 2014 como em 2018, como em 2023. Portanto, há aqui um princípio estabelecido de juntar a família guineense e propor soluções que sejam nacionais. Por outro lado, é importante que as pessoas conheçam a própria resenha histórica, o PRS sai do PAIGC. No período da luta de libertação, aquele a que nós designávamos por combatente, juntava, de um lado, o político e, do outro, o guerrilheiro. Com o evento da independência e posteriormente com o fenómeno democrático, o PAIGC foi o partido que se sentiu obrigado a separar de novo o político do combatente, aquele que passou a ser membro das Forças Armadas. Essa imposição foi exclusiva ao PAIGC, o que levou a que muitos militantes do PAIGC, por força da sua pertença às Forças Armadas, abandonassem o PAIGC e isso favoreceu a criação do PRS. Portanto, pode ser que até esta circunstância venha a favorecer uma reunificação que poderia ter um impacto político importante. Há ainda um outro elemento que eu não considero menos importante: todo o guineense é obrigado a acompanhar os últimos seis anos, que são os anos do mandato de Umaro Sissoco Embaló. E compreender que, perante aquilo que nós temos vivido, que é a supressão quase total dos direitos fundamentais, não há sacrifício que não possa ser consentido. Nós estamos a convocar a nação guineense para, todos juntos, esquecermos um bocado as nossas diferenças e salvarmos aquilo que é essencial.   Ou seja, pôr de lado as diferenças em nome de um bem maior. Absolutamente. Eu penso que não encontro dificuldade nenhuma em sustentar esta tese, porque esta tese corresponde àquilo que eu sempre representei no contexto político da Guiné-Bissau. Enquanto presidente do PAIGC vai participar na campanha eleitoral? Absolutamente. Sou um cidadão livre e militante de um partido que está a aportar o seu apoio a um candidato. E, portanto, obviamente que vou participar da campanha eleitoral. E não é uma campanha com sabor amargo por ter sido excluído da corrida? É muito amargo. Mas, tal como estou a convidar a nação guineense, devemos transformar esse amargo numa determinação para lutar e não o contrário. Devemo-nos mobilizar, devemos compreender que há uma coisa que não nos conseguem tirar, que é o direito ao voto. E esse voto deve servir de arma para, de facto, combater esta tentativa de impor tiranias no nosso país.

Discover how putting God first—especially in life's busiest moments—can bring real peace, balance, and purpose through Matthew 6:33. In this vulnerable conversation, we dive into what it really means to keep a God-first posture while navigating real life—responsibilities, busyness, and the constant overwhelm that can come with it. This isn't a picture-perfect discussion; it's an honest one about what it looks like to seek God, first, in the middle of the mess, not just in the quiet moments, or at our conveniences. Rooted in Matthew 6:33, this conversation reminds us that balance isn't found in a perfectly managed schedule but in a surrendered heart that seeks God first. It's about choosing presence over pressure and faith over frantic striving. May this encourage you to pause, realign, and let your day—and your life—flow from a place of seeking Him first. #HeyGodIHaveQuestions #FaithAndLife #ChristianPodcast Stay connected: Subscribe on YouTube for weekly faith-filled encouragement Listen to the Eat Don't Compete podcast on Apple, Spotify, and iHeart Comment "Devotional" to be sent a jump start to your spiritual growth journey with a FREE devotional. https://jazminedewees.com/freedevotional/ Inbox me on instagram “ Join the Tribe” if you're ready to find yours.

It's Friday, October 31st, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus Sudanese police arrest pastor for not giving Muslim the church In an apparent attempt by a Muslim businessman in Sudan, Africa to seize church property, the police arrested and jailed a pastor on October 28th in River Nile State, reports Morning Star News. At 6:00pm, two police officers arrived at the home of Rev. Daud Kachu of the Sudan Presbyterian Evangelical Church in Atbara and presented him with an arrest warrant. When congregation members said he needed to speak with the church attorney first, the officers initially feigned understanding, but two other policemen, hiding behind the church building, appeared and forced Pastor Kachu into a vehicle. They took him to the Atbara police station, where he was jailed. An intensive interrogation followed on October 29th, and police conveyed the Muslim businessman's demand that he had 30 days to vacate the church premises. The police officers said, “The law is above your religion.” Police demanded that the pastor sign a document stipulating that he would no longer object to anyone trying to seize the church property, but the pastor refused. Rev. Kachu, who has led the church for 30 years, was initially denied bail, but police later released him after intervention by the church attorney. In Psalm 105:15, God warns, “Do not touch My anointed ones, and do My prophets no harm.” Box Office Massacre: October Revenue Falls to 27-Year Low, Excluding Pandemic Halloween is shaping up to be scarier than ever for Hollywood and its exhibition partners, but not in a good way, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Domestic box office revenue for October 2025 is expected to come in at roughly $425 million — the worst showing in 27 years, according to Comscore. This excludes October 2020, the heart of the COVID-19 pandemic,  Two problems. First, many October titles simply didn't resonate with general audiences. Second, fewer people are going to the silver screen. MN Supreme Court allows men, pretending to be women, to compete in powerlifting The Minnesota Supreme Court ruled unanimously on October 22nd that men have a right to cheat in women's sports, reported Fox News. The particular sport in question makes the ruling even more outrageous—powerlifting -- where men have a decided strength advantage biologically speaking.   Don't forget: This is the state where Governor “Tampon Tim” Walz put tampons in boys' bathrooms while letting boys go into girls' bathrooms.   Walz and his Democrat predecessor, Mark Dayton, appointed all of the state's Supreme Court justices. The fact that the decision was unanimous proves how the Left is “all in” on radical transgender ideology.   The New Left tells women today, “You have to let a man watch you undress and your daughter has to compete against boys.” Trouble In Chinatown In New York City's Chinatown district, illegal vendors are selling counterfeit merchandise like fake Gucci purses, designer clothing, and  high-end watches, reports Breitbart.com. That's not only illegal, it also hurts legitimate merchants who cannot compete with the fake knockoffs. Merchants have repeatedly complained to the city, but to no avail.   Federal immigration police launched an enforcement operation. They arrested nine illegal aliens, most of whom had committed additional crimes. Their rap sheets included robbery, assaulting police officers, drug trafficking, drug possession, forgery, and domestic violence.   Gary Bauer of Campaign for Working Families, wrote, “This enforcement operation was a ‘win-win' for New York City. Immigration police got rid of illegal merchants and criminals. “But what happened? There was a riot in Chinatown as leftists rushed into the streets to prevent immigration police from doing their jobs. This is what the Left has fomented around America. They have inspired an insurrection that is resisting federal law enforcement.” Tucker Carlson: Abortion enthusiasts have a “religious fanaticism” about killing In the footsteps of the late Charlie Kirk, conservative commentator Tucker Carlson took a strong stand for life recently during a Turning Point USA event at Indiana University in response to a pro-abortion student, reports LifeSiteNews.com. Listen. STUDENT: “A lot of what's happening in this country with people using religion to justify their stance against abortion. People are using religion….” CARLSON: “May I just suggest something.  I've never seen religious fanaticism like I see among the abortion enthusiasts. (applause) From my perspective, it's so obviously a child sacrifice rite. “The number of unintended pregnancies in an age of universally available free birth control is probably pretty low. They happen, okay.  The wicked, gleeful enthusiasm that people have for abortion.” STUDENT: “Who is enthusiastic?” CARLSON: “Oh? Shout your abortion? (laughs) I think there's some enthusiasm. Putting an abortion truck outside the Democratic Convention? There's a lot of enthusiasm for it. “I kind of believed the ‘My body, my choice' thing. I really thought that's what it was about. Bodily autonomy.” STUDENT: “That is what's it's about?” CARLSON: “Really? So, where were you on the COVID Vax?” (cheers applause) It's not about that. What it's about is killing. It's about killing and the thrill that people derive from killing another human being and the power they feel when they kill.” STUDENT: “Is that a real argument that you're making?” CARLSON: “No, it's not an argument. It's a reality.  I've seen it when people plan wars. I've actually seen that happen. I've seen it when people in power show videos of them killing people with drones or whatever. And they get so high from it. There's no greater thrill than extinguishing life because that makes you ‘God.' I think that's the most evil thing there is, and one of the greatest temptations that people have is to kill because it makes them feel powerful.” Isaiah 59:7 says, “Their feet rush into sin; they are swift to shed innocent blood. They pursue evil schemes; acts of violence mark their ways.” Wheel of Fortune no longer family friendly And finally, ANNOUNCER: “From the Sony Pictures studio, it's America's Game …” PEOPLE: “Wheel of Fortune.” The Wheel of Fortune game show is no longer family friendly, reports OneMillionMoms.com.

AWS is restoring operations after a massive outage disrupted internet access worldwide, affecting major platforms like Snapchat, Facebook, Fortnite, Delta, Coinbase, and several banks. The issue stemmed from a DNS failure that temporarily prevented access to data stored in AWS systems, causing widespread service interruptions and “Error 404” messages. Experts say the outage, which exposed how heavily global internet infrastructure depends on AWS, may have cost hundreds of billions of dollars. Amazon says it has “fully mitigated” the issue and continues investigating the root cause. This and more on the Tech Field Day News Rundown with Tom Hollingsworth and guest host Kate Scarcella.

Leveraging Shipper Intent Data to Win More Freight", Joe Lynch and Rob Light, CEO & Co-founder at CarrierSource, discuss how their platform provides the real-time intent signals and AI tools necessary to turn passive interest into high-value revenue. About Rob Light Robert Light is the CEO and a Co-Founder of CarrierSource, the leading review website for brokers and carriers. Rob has been building CarrierSource for the past five years, and prior to that was an early employee at the software review website G2.com. At G2, Rob saw the power of customer reviews and how small businesses could leverage the voice of their customers to compete with the largest companies in the space. He's excited to bring this same opportunity to logistics and transportation. About CarrierSource CarrierSource is revolutionizing the freight industry with real-time Shipper Intent Data and AI-powered Research Agents. For the first time, brokers and carriers can see when a shipper is searching for capacity, viewing competitor profiles, or interacting with their own listing. These signals empower teams to engage high-intent prospects at exactly the right moment, turning passive interest into closed business. With Research Agents, teams can go from shipper intent signal to context to outreach in minutes, bridging the gap between intent and action. CarrierSource is built on top of the first truly two-sided review marketplace. Brokers and carriers can review each other, and shippers can find freight partners through verified reviews, FMCSA safety and insurance data, and detailed company profiles. With over 75,000 reviews across 40,000+ brokers and carriers, CarrierSource is where reputations are built. It's now also where intent turns into revenue. Key Takeaways: Leveraging Shipper Intent Data to Win More Freight Leveraging Shipper Intent Data to Win More Freight", Joe Lynch and Rob Light, CEO & Co-founder at CarrierSource, discuss how their platform provides the real-time intent signals and AI tools necessary to turn passive interest into high-value revenue. Real-Time Shipper Intent is the New Gold: The most critical factor in winning freight is knowing when a shipper is actively in the market. CarrierSource provides real-time signals—such as a shipper searching for capacity or viewing a competitor's profile—allowing brokers and carriers to engage prospects at the precise moment of highest intent. AI Closes the Intent-to-Action Gap: The platform utilizes AI-powered Research Agents to bridge the gap between signal and outreach. This technology ensures that teams can move from identifying an intent signal to gathering necessary context and initiating an informed outreach effort in minutes. Reputation is the Foundation for Conversion: Rob Light's experience at G2 highlights the power of customer voice. CarrierSource is built on a two-sided review marketplace with over 75,000 reviews, establishing that a verified and strong reputation is essential for converting a high-intent prospect into closed business. Democratizing the Competitive Edge: The technology empowers smaller and mid-sized brokers and carriers. By providing access to high-value intent data and leveraging the voice of their customers through reviews, they can effectively compete head-to-head with the largest companies in the logistics space. A Holistic View Wins the Business: Winning freight requires more than just knowing intent; it demands credibility. The platform integrates real-time intent data with essential compliance information, including verified reviews, FMCSA safety data, and insurance details, providing a comprehensive profile for shippers. The Shift to a Proactive Revenue Model: The industry is shifting from a reactive approach (waiting for RFPs) to a proactive one. CarrierSource enables a model where "intent turns into revenue," fundamentally changing the sales motion from passive interest tracking to immediate, targeted engagement. Leverage Reviews to Compete on Par: A core lesson from Rob's previous work is that customer reviews are a powerful tool to level the playing field. By making the voice of the customer central to the partner selection process, brokers and carriers of all sizes can use their established service reputation to secure new freight opportunities.

Ian Bergman sits down with entrepreneur and author Alistair Croll, Founder of Fwd50 a to unpack ideas from his new book Just Evil Enough: The Subversive Marketing Handbook. They explore why product-market fit is no longer enough, how product-market-medium fit wins today, and why legitimacy—not features—decides who gets chosen in crowded markets.Croll shares a builder-friendly approach to go-to-market: crafting “zero-day” marketing moves, spotting weak signals, and exploiting asymmetries competitors can't or won't match. From Dropbox's built-in virality to IKEA's customer-assembled value chain and Taylor Swift's “Taylor's Version” legitimacy hack, Ian and Alistair map the playbook for standing out when anyone can “vibe-code” a product.You'll hear a timely framework for the era of a million tiny horses (niche winners), the shift from an attention economy to an outcome economy, and a clear ethical line—Don't Actually Be Evil—for running bold, subversive campaigns without crossing into fraud or harm.TakeawaysThink in mediums: Aim for product-market-medium fit; platforms have norms, mechanics, and governance you must design for.Compete on legitimacy: Make your offer incomparable so you're chosen, not just compared.Hunt weak signals: Look for early indicators that, if true, unlock outsized advantage.Exploit asymmetry: Build plays rivals can't respond to without breaking their own model.Disrupt the value chain: Merge, split, reorder, or reassign steps (à la IKEA, Talk) to create a new reason to choose you.Ship zero-day GTM: Treat distribution like product—engineer referral, incentives, and narrative into the build.Stay ethical: Subversive ≠ sinister. Set rules like “don't assume consent” and “don't commit fraud.”If this conversation sparks ideas, check out Just Evil Enough, and explore more resources at justevilenough.com.

The group compares weight, comfort, thermal balance, strap systems, and software ecosystems. Marty shares his early hands-on impressions with the Galaxy XR—including its lighter design but occasional light leakage—while Ben and Jill discuss how purpose may determine market success: Vision Pro for spatial productivity, Galaxy XR for approachable consumer entry.  The discussion moves to VisionOS Beta 4, where developer-focused updates aim to improve stability and groundwork for more immersive experiences. The consensus: incremental but necessary.   Then comes one of the show's most passionate sections: Apple's decision not to allow trade-ins of the first-generation Vision Pro. The panel debates how this affects:     •    customer loyalty     •    early-adopter trust     •    whether the Vision Pro is being treated like a dev kit vs. consumer product. Reactions range from “understandable” to “rough look for a $3,500 device.”  From there, the conversation shifts to the GM / CarPlay breakup, which inspires instant groans. Everyone shares personal and community stories confirming that CarPlay is no longer a luxury—it's baseline expectation. One panelist notes even non-tech friends refuse to buy a car without CarPlay, which says more than any product review ever could.   iPhone Air production and strategy concerns, tied to mid-tier pricing pressure  YouTube's new AI deepfake likeness detection, and what it means for creators and security Topics and Links In Touch With Vision Pro this week.  visionOS 26.1 Beta 3 Release Notes | Apple Developer Documentation  New Samsung Vision Pro Killer?

In this episode of the Especially for Athletes Podcast, we're joined by Ammon Montenegro and Aisley Meechum, two standout cheerleaders at Brigham Young University who are not only athletes at the top of their game, but also thoughtful leaders and examples of how to balance faith, resilience, and intentionality in a fast-paced world.Whether you're an aspiring college athlete, a current high school cheerleader, or someone simply trying to be more deliberate with your time and goals—this episode is packed with practical advice, vulnerability, and inspiration.Highlight MomentsWinning the HourAmmon and Aisley share how they structure their jam-packed days and the tools they use—from color-coded planners to weekly resets—to stay focused and intentional.Bouncing Back from SetbacksAisley opens up about tearing her ACL in high school and how that detour led to something better than she could have imagined. Ammon shares the powerful story of shifting from football to cheerleading and how going “all in” opened a door he didn't even know was there.Advice for High SchoolersThey reflect on what they would tell their 15-year-old selves—including the danger of closing doors out of fear, and why it's worth being vulnerable and taking your shot.Competing Without ContemptFrom their roles at LaVell Edwards Stadium and the Marriott Center, they talk about creating loud, energized, and loving environments without falling into hate or mockery. It's all about gratitude and respecting your opponents.Using the SpotlightAisley shares what it's like being in the spotlight and how she uses it to be a source of light for the little girls who look up to her. Ammon reflects on the power of clean, uplifting content on his social media platform (@unclebub) and why it matters to be intentional with your influence.
