Reading 1Amos 6:1a, 4-7Thus says the LORD the God of hosts: Woe to the complacent in Zion! Lying upon beds of ivory, stretched comfortably on their couches, they eat lambs taken from the flock, and calves from the stall! Improvising to the music of the harp, like David, they devise their own accompaniment. They drink wine from bowls and anoint themselves with the best oils; yet they are not made ill by the collapse of Joseph! Therefore, now they shall be the first to go into exile, and their wanton revelry shall be done away with.Reading 21 Timothy 6:11-16But you, man of God, pursue righteousness,devotion, faith, love, patience, and gentleness.Compete well for the faith.Lay hold of eternal life, to which you were calledwhen you made the noble confession in the presence of many witnesses.I charge you before God, who gives life to all things,and before Christ Jesus,who gave testimony under Pontius Pilate for the noble confession,to keep the commandment without stain or reproachuntil the appearance of our Lord Jesus Christthat the blessed and only rulerwill make manifest at the proper time,the King of kings and Lord of lords,who alone has immortality, who dwells in unapproachable light,and whom no human being has seen or can see.To him be honor and eternal power.  Amen.GospelLuke 16:19-31Jesus said to the Pharisees:"There was a rich man who dressed in purple garments and fine linenand dined sumptuously each day.And lying at his door was a poor man named Lazarus, covered with sores,who would gladly have eaten his fill of the scrapsthat fell from the rich man's table.Dogs even used to come and lick his sores.When the poor man died,he was carried away by angels to the bosom of Abraham.The rich man also died and was buried,and from the netherworld, where he was in torment,he raised his eyes and saw Abraham far offand Lazarus at his side.And he cried out, 'Father Abraham, have pity on me.Send Lazarus to dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue,for I am suffering torment in these flames.'Abraham replied,'My child, remember that you receivedwhat was good during your lifetimewhile Lazarus likewise received what was bad;but now he is comforted here, whereas you are tormented.Moreover, between us and you a great chasm is establishedto prevent anyone from crossing who might wish to gofrom our side to yours or from your side to ours.'He said, 'Then I beg you, father,send him to my father's house, for I have five brothers,so that he may warn them,lest they too come to this place of torment.'But Abraham replied, 'They have Moses and the prophets.Let them listen to them.'He said, 'Oh no, father Abraham,but if someone from the dead goes to them, they will repent.'Then Abraham said, 'If they will not listen to Moses and the prophets,neither will they be persuaded if someone should rise from the dead.'"

It takes 150 crocus flowers to make just one gram of saffron. For comparison, a spice like cumin, gets you hundreds of kilos per acre whereas saffron yields barely two.Despite getting a prestigious GI tag from the Indian government and even a National Mission dedicated to its revival, Kashmir's saffron production has plummeted:from 8 tonnes in 2011 to just 2.7 tonnes in 2024.So what's going wrong? And can India learn something from Iran, which currently dominates 90% of the global saffron market?Reporters Mehroob Mushtaq and Numan Bhat, traveled deep into saffron country, met the farmers, walked the fields, and came back with a story that's rich in detail, visuals, and hard truths.Tune in.*This episode was originally published on July 21st 2025.Compete in India's first and only case-build competition.Daybreak is produced from the newsroom of The Ken, India's first subscriber-only business news platform.

How good can the Patriots' offense be? Can they keep it close with the Bills next week? Even if they don't win, a close game would instill a lot of confidence in the team. Has Stefon Diggs emerged as a true WR 1? Is there any chance of an AJ Brown trade?

  In this episode of Eat Don't Compete, we dive into the tension of becoming who God has called us to be. Drawing from three powerful scriptures—Jacob wrestling with God in Genesis 32, Paul's image of jars of clay in 2 Corinthians 4, and the thorn in the flesh in 2 Corinthians 12—we see how struggle, weakness, and dependence on God are all part of spiritual growth. I also unpack the difference between purpose, calling, and assignment, and how understanding each one can bring clarity to your walk with God. Whether you're wrestling with your identity, battling your own “thorn,” or simply trying to keep going in the middle of life's challenges, this episode will remind you that the tension is not a sign of failure—it's a sign of transformation. If you've ever wondered how to stay faithful when life feels heavy, this conversation will encourage you to lean into God's process and keep pressing forward.

India's soda shelves have changed almost overnight. Coke and Pepsi now sell zero-sugar versions of their drinks at prices as low as 10 rupees. The move came after Reliance launched Campa Cola with its own budget zero-sugar option.

Swiggy, once the dominant force in India's quick-commerce market, is now struggling to keep pace. Since its IPO, Instamart's share has slipped to about 25%, well behind Blinkit's commanding over 50%. To engineer a turnaround, CEO Sriharsha Majety is driving sweeping changes at the company—fuelled by a wave of ex-Flipkart hires, including Amitesh Jha as Instamart's new chief. The shake-up marks a cultural pivot from Swiggy's meticulous “doc culture” to a harder-edged “move fast, fail fast” ethos. But with Blinkit and Zepto racing ahead, whether this reset can restore Swiggy's edge or leave it further behind in the quick-commerce race remains to be seen.Compete in India's first and only case competition.Daybreak is produced from the newsroom of The Ken, India's first subscriber-only business news platform.

Mid-sized law firms are facing pressure from every direction. Associates are poached with six-figure pay bumps, partners are stretched thin between billing and management, and specialty practices vanish without succession plans. At the same time, clients expect broader reach and deeper benches than many firms can deliver. In this episode, host Chris Batz shares what he's hearing directly from managing partners and executive committee members across the country. He outlines the squeeze mid-sized firms are feeling - lagging organic growth, talent retention challenges, leadership burnout - and the difficult choices leaders are weighing: scale up, go lean, or join a larger platform. Chris also looks at the emerging role of private equity in law firm ownership and the ripple effects it could have on culture, compensation, and competition. Along the way, he points out steps firms can take now: sharpen strategic vision, invest in leadership and succession, strengthen recruiting systems, and pursue growth through the right mergers or acquisitions. At its heart, this episode asks a question every firm should confront: how do you stay competitive without exhausting the people who make your firm strong?   Episode Breakdown: 00:00 Why Mid-Sized Law Firms Are Struggling 03:30 Why Talent Keeps Leaving Mid-Sized Firms 04:28 The Leadership Burnout Crisis in Law Firms 07:37 Scenario 1: Losing Lead Counsel Work to Bigger Firms 11:31 Scenario 2: Rainmakers With No Succession Plan 14:04 Billing vs. Leading — Can Firm Leaders Do Both? 18:19 Growth Choices: Lateral Hires, Acquisitions, or Mergers 24:01 Should Mid-Sized Firms Join Larger Platforms? 26:09 The Hidden Cost of Burnout in Firm Leadership 32:17 How Private Equity Is Changing Law Firms 34:18 Strategies for Mid-Sized Firms to Compete 43:48 Key Lessons for Law Firm Leaders   Connect with Chris Batz: LinkedIn profile: https://www.linkedin.com/in/chrisbatz/  LinkedIn company page: https://www.linkedin.com/company/columbus-street/ Columbus Street website: https://www.columbus-street.com/  Podcast production and show notes provided by HiveCast.fm

Vinfast, Vietnam's ambitious electric vehicle maker, is making its last-ditch global play in India after racking up billions in losses in the US and Europe. But its strategy is unlike anything the market has seen before. Instead of competing with giants like Tata and Mahindra in big metros with flashy showrooms, Vinfast is starting in Tier-2 and Tier-3 cities like Coimbatore and Shimla—using car workshops as sales hubs.It's betting on a country that is invested in EV adoption, rising middle class families who value range over power, and robust charging grid. The question is whether this unconventional approach will help it carve a space in India's crowded EV market, or mark another costly failure.Tune in.Compete in India's first and only case competition. Daybreak is produced from the newsroom of The Ken, India's first subscriber-only business news platform.

IRMA was never just another B-school. Born out of Verghese Kurien's (the father of Operation Flood movement) mind, it built a one-of-a-kind management program for rural India—training managers for cooperatives, NGOs, and grassroots institutions, far away from the IIM playbook.Now, Delhi has other plans. An Act of Parliament is folding IRMA into a vast new central university, the "Tribhuvan" Sahkari University, with hundreds of affiliates. On paper, it's about scaling cooperative education nationwide. But the shift is sparking anxiety over placements, faculty, and whether Kurien's vision will survive in a system built for size.Tune in.Compete in India's first and only case competition.Daybreak is produced from the newsroom of The Ken, India's first subscriber-only business news platform.

As we hit our 40s and beyond, the game changes, and it's no longer about chasing ego but about channeling energy smartly. After working with countless athletes, I've seen the same cycle repeat: pushing like you're still in your 20s, sidelining recovery, neglecting nutrition, and sidelining strength training as if it's an unwanted homework assignment. And the result? Injuries, burnout, and identity crises. But here's the transformative truth: energy is your greatest asset, not your ego. As we age, we gain something invaluable—self-knowledge and wisdom. This episode invites you to harness the power of experience, turning past lessons into a roadmap for maximizing performance and sustaining a fulfilling athletic journey. Join us as we dismantle the myth that age equals decline and explore how to optimize performance in the master's category. We offer a fresh perspective on understanding human limitations and adapting strategies that empower rather than deter. Insights from the Endurance Station highlight the mantra "energy over ego," guiding us through the four pillars of mastering endurance. Whether you're competing against others or striving for personal bests, this episode provides a strategic advantage to redefine athletic goals. Tune in to rediscover the joy in competition and the art of using energy wisely to achieve lasting results.

This week Nick Averwater continues his conversation with Kim Webb, High School Band Director at Greene County Tech in Paragould, Arkansas. Paragould is a city of around 30,000 people located 65 miles northwest of Memphis. In 2024 The Greene County Tech marching band won the state championship in Class 5A. In the last episode, Kim told us about building and maintaining a culture of success in the band program. This time, we learn more about what it's like when the other high school in town, Paragould High School, also has a tradition of winning state marching band championships. Our conversation was recorded back in December 2024. We've broken it up into two episodes, and this is part two.

Getting in front of new prospects is harder than ever—but sitting back and waiting isn't an option. This episode introduces a creative solution: gamifying the dreaded phone call. By turning outreach and even rejection into a points-based game, fundraisers can build camaraderie, reduce fear, and spark real momentum. From scoring voicemails to celebrating “rejection of the week,” this approach reframes calling from a chore into a challenge and makes progress fun again.

If you're raising an athlete, this episode is your car-ride-home playbook. Moira breaks down mental performance for youth athletes—how to coach confidence without crushing it, what to say (and not say) after a tough game, and why presence over pressure changes everything. You'll learn the “spectrum check” for post-game emotions, how to use language that builds identity (not anxiety), and the power of competing with a standard, not a scoreboard. What you'll learn: The #1 mindset shift for youth sports: presence > pressure The “Spectrum Check” to meet your kid where they are (not where you wish they were) The car-ride script that calms nerves fast: “Are you hungry? What do you want to eat?” Language swaps that build unshakable identity (NLP-informed) How to guide reflection without re-living the loss Why standards beat circumstances—and how to set them with your athlete Perfect for parents navigating club volleyball, baseball recruiting, school sports, and every level in between.

Jay Olshonsky, former chairman president and CEO of NAI Global, joined to share why he launched 42 Plus LLC, an advisory firm named for his years in the business. His mission is to fight stagnation he sees across real estate by helping leaders move forward. We dug into AI's impact, the likely ebb and flow of an eventual bubble, and why you must pay attention even if you are not the expert. Jay partners with Phil Stringer to bring proven AI training from the residential side into commercial. He sees AI as a time saver for research, writing, analysis, and outreach, while reminding us that local knowledge and face to face work still win. Big firms keep consolidating, yet access to data and tools has leveled the field for boutiques. Personal branding in commercial is catching up to residential, with standouts showing how consistent value beats company size.Jay's playbook is simple. Know your audience. Give value. Use AI if it saves ten hours a week and rethink it if it costs twenty. Invest in travel and in person meetings to deepen insight and trust. Reverse mentor with younger pros to keep messaging sharp. He views the industry as 10 percent elite adopters, 10 percent striving, and a large middle stuck in place. His closing note was clear. Most people are not failing, they are stagnating, and a few smart changes can get them moving again.--
