Jimmy Carr is back. Jimmy Carr is one of the most recognisable comedians on the planet: world-touring stand-up, TV host, and author - famous for brutal roasts and surgical one-liners. But in this episode, you get the sharper edge and the deeper thinking: why 2026 is going to feel like a turning point and how young men can get control back. Jimmy is one of the most respected comedians in the world: a world-touring stand-up, TV host, and author known for brutal one-liners and zero mercy… but in this episode you get the full range - savage comedy and the deeply human side. We talk about dating, masculinity, porn, cheap dopamine and why so many young men feel stuck - then we go way bigger: AI as a new “god”, the end of old institutions, how podcasts replaced mainstream media, and why politics is entering a genuinely weird new era. And then the episode turns: Jimmy opens up about grief and love - remembering Sean Lock (including the first joke Jimmy ever heard him say, and why he felt like a father figure), the impact of losing his mum Nora, and a beautiful tribute to Janey Godley and what she said about Jimmy behind the scenes. Expect to learn:Why women select for competence and what “safety” really signals.Jimmy's advice to young men: porn, risk, rejection, and building a real life The loneliness trade-off: liver damage vs social isolation How Jimmy thinks about anxiety, discipline, and “life assignment” Sean Lock's legacy — and what it's like to lose someone you built a career beside Grief, funerals, and the difference between resume virtues and eulogy virtues AI, institutions, and why the next decade could get very “interesting”and much, much more.PartnersSlaters Made To Order If you're in UK and you want a suit that fits properly — Slaters Made To Order is the move.Link: https://www.slaters.co.uk/made-to-order?gclsrc=aw.ds&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=22326051720&gbraid=0AAAAADogE-bVEefnTzse9hLL0ErpEr-jF&gclid=Cj0KCQiAgbnKBhDgARIsAGCDdlckA1RBqnk3kO10XoXEjj-ilOMcplqUquwYMtHBJtNjWRY75T_TcmkaAlhZEALw_wcBNeutonicFor clean focus and productivity support: Neutonic.Use code DAVID for a discount.Link: https://www.neutonic.com?sca_ref=10212353.vP3Eab049B&utm_source=uppromote&utm_medium=affiliate&utm_campaign=26377300:00 — Young Men Are Stuck01:52 — Jimmy's Back: Glasgow Banter04:18 — “Media Diet” & Mental Health07:27 — ADHD, Boundaries & Discipline08:23 — Arenas, Imposter Syndrome, Movies13:46 — Early Comedy Influences16:21 — How You Build Confidence17:32 — First Glasgow Joke (DVD Era)18:52 — Comedy = Friendship20:28 — Why Dark Humour Helps22:16 — Dating: Safety, Competence, Chemistry24:48 — Advice to Young Men: Porn, Games, Asking Girls Out27:09 — Drinking vs Isolation29:28 — Dealing Young People In: Agency Over Empathy31:35 — Trump + Debate vs Deliberation32:28 — Fourth Turning + Class Politics Flip34:31 — Podcasts Replaced Mainstream Media36:52 — “Be Of Service” — Working-Class Agency37:46 — “Woke”, Status & Suicidal Empathy39:19 — Jimmy's Come-Up: Luck + Work Ethic42:29 — Pre-Show Mindset44:32 — Jimmy's Laugh + His Mum47:48 — Sean Lock: First Meeting + Legacy53:54 — Grief, Mortality & Talking To The Dead55:18 — Funerals: Eulogy vs Résumé01:01:31 — AI, God & The Future01:04:26 — Secret Struggles: Dyslexia, Body Image, Work01:07:24 — Pax Americana Ending + The World Shifting01:10:29 — Kids, Legacy & Meaning01:13:18 — Janey Godley TributeInstagram: @davidmcintoshjrPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/davidmcintoshjr/aboutSubstack: https://substack.com/@davidmcintoshjr?Merch: https://originstoryclub.co.uk/

All of us were fed a certain modern promise of success: Work hard, become competent, and success follows.  And you know what? Despite its flaws, it mostly works. Effort compounds. Competence pays off. Success arrives. But then something strange happened. The questions that matter most don't go away. They get louder. Not questions about strategy or leverage. Questions about connection. Meaning. Why all of this still feels… flat. Here's the part no one warns achievers about: The modern promise of success was never meant to answer those questions. And the more success works, the more convincing the lie becomes that it should. So achievers do what they're trained to do. They optimize harder. They take control. They try to solve the problem. That's when things quietly degrade. Optimization doesn't create intimacy. Control erodes trust. Problem solving doesn't generate meaning or fulfillment.  The very tools that built success start breaking the internal world. Not because something went wrong. But because they were never designed for this terrain. This episode is about that moment. The moment success still works… yet something feels disconnected. No guilt. No self-diagnosis. No "find yourself" detours. Just a clear explanation of why this happens, how achievers misread it, and what actually changes when success stops being the answer. If success has worked… but the deeper questions haven't stopped…  Hit play.  Show Highlights Include: What to do when you feel uneasy after success so you don't jump into the throes of a mid-life crisis (1:44)  How the modern promise of success can leave you disconnected, unfulfilled, and unhappy (even if it's helped you achieve external and material success - and what perhaps the #1 modernity philosopher recommends to fill that internal void) (2:47)  The understandable, but false (and even completely backwards) assumption of success that achievers naturally gravitate towards which makes them look successful "on paper," but a chaotic mess inside (5:05)  The "Hedonic Adaptation" trap you naturally fall into when you're successful that leaves you feeling broken (6:48)  What ancient masters of discipline understood about effort and how it fundamentally changes your character (this is why progress creates friction) (9:19) Maslow's forgotten next step after self-actualization that can finally return your sense of fulfillment (15:08)  For more about David Tian, go here: https://www.davidtianphd.com/about/  Feeling like success in one area of life has come at the expense of another? Maybe you've crushed it in your career, but your relationships feel strained. Or you've built the life you thought you wanted, yet there's still something important missing. I've put together a free 3-minute assessment to help you see what's really holding you back.

Do you believe that to be a badass, you also have to be the "B-word"—that you cannot be effective and liked at the same time? Many leaders chase power, thinking it comes from controlling resources—like holding the "car keys" to get what they want. But power and status are not the same thing; power is what you control, but status is how much you are respected. And in the long run, resources follow respect.   Why this matters If your audience doesn't value or respect you, it is nearly impossible to be influential, regardless of your title. Most professionals treat influence as a transaction, only focusing on their network when they need a job or a favor. But human judgments are not random; people instantly categorize you as "friend or foe" based on your warmth and competence. If you aren't intentionally building your "status bank" when you don't need anything, you won't have the leverage when the stakes are high.   In this episode, we unpack: The Power vs. Status Split: Why power controls valued resources, while status is respected and valued by others. The "Car Keys" Trap: How holding resources (like budgets or authority) creates temporary influence but fails to build lasting respect. The Podium Coaching Gap: Why women consistently ask different questions about negotiation and promotion than their male counterparts. The Friend or Foe Radar: The two distinct dimensions—Warmth (intent) and Competence (ability)—that our brains use to judge every leader. The "Latte" Rule: Why the absolute best time to build your network is when you are content and simply ordering a coffee. Navigating Hotspots: How to execute tough decisions, like layoffs, with both assertiveness and warmth to protect your professional reputation. Authenticity vs. Strategy: Why being "likable" isn't about faking a personality—it's about strategically demonstrating that you care about others' outcomes.   Timestamps (0:00) — Intro (1:47) — The differentiator between Influence, Power, and Status (3:00) — Guest Intro: Alison Fragale and the Likable Badass framework (5:00) — The "Podium Coaching" moments: What women ask that men don't (11:11) — Power is holding the car keys: Controlling resources vs. earning respect (14:45) — Status defined: Why resources follow respect (16:40) — Friend or Foe: The science of Warmth and Competence (24:00) — The "Latte" Metaphor: Networking when you don't need a favor (28:00) — How to handle "bad guy" moments (layoffs, tough calls) while keeping status (34:10) — The Authenticity Trap: Can you "fake" likability?   The takeaway Power is controlling resources. Status is being the resource.   Resources follow respect.   Stop choosing between being liked and being effective. Be both.   About Alison Fragale Alison Fragale, PhD, is an organizational psychologist and a professor who specializes in behavioral science to help women excel.

America is facing a crisis far more dangerous than partisan politics: a collapse of competence across government, media, and political leadership. In this year-end monologue, Professor Nick Giordano breaks down how institutional failure has become normalized, why government increasingly creates problems instead of solving them, and how media tribalism has replaced journalism. From unchecked fraud and broken oversight to elite institutions that cannot perform their basic functions, Professor Giordano explains why public trust is eroding and why even Republicans have failed to deliver meaningful reform. This episode is a sober assessment of where America stands heading into 2026 and what must change if the country is to remain serious, functional, and free. Episode Highlights • How government incentives now reward failure, protect incompetence, and punish accountability • Why the media abandoned journalism for tribal loyalty and helped conceal institutional collapse • A hard look at Republican leadership, internal fractures, and the failure to translate power into reform

Raise your hand if you've worked in a toxic environment before! That's probably 99.9% of you, so today we're talking about those negative environments that get inside your nervous system and refuse to leave quietly.  The kind that turn you into a hyper-vigilant, over-prepared shell of yourself who flinches at a sporadic calendar invite titled “Quick Sync.” I brought back one of my favorite humans, close friend, returning guest, and resident shit talker Chris Hagood, because he actually understands the emotional underlayer of work, and I don't mean just the LinkedIn version.  We get into how toxic cultures shape your identity, follow you long after you leave, and what it takes to unlearn survival mode when chaos becomes your baseline.

In part four of the Learning Theory series here on the JuvoHub Podcast, host Jonathan Saar explores how self-determination theory helps educators understand what truly motivates adult learners—especially when training feels repetitive, compliance-driven, or routine. By breaking down the core principles of autonomy, competence, and relatedness, this episode shines a light on how learning designers can build training that feels meaningful, personalized, and engaging. This discussion offers insight into designing training programs that motivate beyond completion and encourages educators to reflect on how they create relevance, connection, and confidence in every lesson. TLDR: This episode explains how self-determination theory can help instructors make training more meaningful, even when topics repeat year after year. Key Takeaways 00:00 – Why Motivation Matters 00:40 – When Training Feels Repetitive 01:20 – What Self-Determination Theory Is 02:40 – Autonomy, Competence & Relatedness 03:25 – Seeing Yourself in the Scenario 04:30 – Understanding the Learner's Mindset 05:20 – Making Compliance Meaningful 06:05 – Do Rewards Help or Hurt? 06:55 – Final Takeaways and Resources Why Self-Determination Theory Still Matters for Today's Educators As training needs grow more complex and learners face repeated compliance requirements, understanding what drives motivation becomes essential. Self-determination theory offers a practical lens for creating training that feels relevant, empowering, and connected—whether the audience is new to the topic or revisiting it annually. As you build programs for the year ahead, consider how autonomy, competence, and relatedness can elevate every learning experience and help your learners stay engaged long after completion.

TALK TO ME, TEXT ITSome mornings feel like whiplash: a global attack, a campus shooting that goes unanswered, and a Hollywood tragedy that hits uncomfortably close to home. We open the mic to grief and anger, then push into the harder layer beneath the headlines—how leadership frames public safety, when silence functions as consent, and why communities need more than slogans to resist targeted hate.We start with the alleged terror in Bondi and the spike in antisemitism many have felt since early October. The conversation is blunt about political accountability and the signals leaders send, but it also asks for something deeper than outrage: consistent standards that condemn violence clearly and build prevention that actually works. From there, we pivot to the unresolved shooting tied to Brown University, where surveillance and technology somehow haven't produced answers. Competence matters; transparent updates matter. When institutions leave a vacuum, rumor and fear rush in.The hardest turn comes with reports of Rob Reiner and his wife found stabbed, with their adult son named as a person of interest after public struggles with addiction. We talk about the limits of money and rehab, the harsh math of relapse, and why harm reduction and long-term family support are essential if we want fewer headlines like this. None of this is neat or easy, and that's the point—we're trying to hold space for complexity without losing our grip on moral clarity.Before we wrap, we face a quieter question about the future of this show. Daily news takes a toll, but community matters too. So we come up for air with a simple holiday prompt—your gift wrap style: coordinated themes or whatever bag is handy?

Which breaks faster: trust in someone's competence or trust in their character? Shane explores Stephen Covey's framework that trust operates on two separate dimensions. Competence trust builds quickly through credentials, positions, and demonstrated capability, but character trust takes time to develop through consistent honesty and integrity. The crucial insight? While competence breaks slowly with each mistake being somewhat forgivable, character trust can shatter in a single moment. Shane shares a vulnerable story from his own leadership journey about a time he broke someone's trust and the lasting impact it had on that professional relationship. You'll learn a practical three-part transparency framework that builds character trust quickly whilst you're still establishing competence. Shane explains how to share your thinking process when uncertain, admit what you don't know whilst committing to find out, and explain your decisions even when they're unpopular. This approach doesn't just build trust faster, it protects you from appearing incompetent, reduces your cognitive load as a leader, and models the honest behaviour you want from your team. If you've ever worried about looking weak by admitting uncertainty, this episode will change how you approach leadership communication.

SEND ME A TEXT MESSAGE NOWThis WTF Wednesday isn't just a rant. It's a full autopsy on why basic competence has collapsed in America. I'm talking about the simplest tasks. Calling a pharmacy. Scheduling a doctor. Upgrading a phone. Everything that should take minutes now takes hours. And for millions of us, it feels like the entire country forgot how to function.Everywhere you turn there's another problem waiting for you. You try to check a prescription and the system's down. You try to reach a human being and the phone tree traps you in circles. You show up for an appointment and they say it was canceled but can't tell you why. Even the places that used to run like clockwork are now tripping over their own shoelaces.And it's not just one industry. It's healthcare. It's banking. It's retail. It's technology that keeps failing at the exact moment you need it most. You stand in lines that don't move. You get messages that contradict the last message you got. You try to solve one simple problem and end up trapped in a maze where nobody knows anything and nobody can help you.This episode digs into how incompetence has become the new national default. You see it everywhere. Fast food. Airlines. Doctors offices. Apps that ask you to do the work the company used to do. We're now living in a country where helping yourself is the only way to get help.A culture of incompetence doesn't happen in a vacuum. It spreads. It's taught. It's absorbed. People are overwhelmed and undertrained. Systems are overloaded. The smallest problem becomes a chain reaction because no one has the tools or the bandwidth to get anything right the first time anymore.This episode digs into that connection. How millions of people were taught that effort's optional. How compassion's weakness. And how that mindset's helped collapse basic service and basic responsibility across the country.If you've ever wondered why everything feels harder, slower, more chaotic, and more broken than it used to be, this episode's for you. It's raw. It's honest. It's every frustration you've swallowed this year finally being said out loud. And it all leads to one question. How do we fix a country where competence left the building and has no plans to return?This is your Wednesday WTF episode.And, if you'd like to help support this podcast financially with a small donation before the holiday's…here is the link: https://ko-fi.com/aworldgonemadAWorldGoneMadPodcast@gmail.com

In this special episode of Why Distance Learning, the tables turn—Seth Fleischauer steps into the guest seat as co-hosts Tami Moehring and Allyson Mitchell interview him about the purpose, design, and future of Global Learning Live, Banyan Global Learning's next-generation experiential global learning program. They explore what authentic global learning really requires in today's classrooms—and why the medium of live virtual learning matters more than ever.Most schools want to build cultural competence, empathy, and real-world communication skills, but:Finding reliable global partners is inconsistent and often falls apart mid-year.Language learners rarely get opportunities to use English in meaningful, real-world contexts.Teachers lack simple, low-prep ways to bring global learning into existing schedules.Field trips and international travel are expensive and inaccessible for most students.The result? Global learning remains an aspiration, not a system.However, Banyan's Global Learning Live is structured, scalable model that connects students worldwide through live field trips, global collaborations, and authentic showcase moments. Seth shares how 20 years of partnership with Tsai Hsing School led to the creation of an experiential cycle that prepares students not only for academic success, but for a rapidly changing, interconnected world.What the program delivers:Live Virtual Field Trips Bringing students into real places—Portland bridges, Renaissance fairs, and more—with authentic “whoa” moments that make learning unforgettable.Global Student Collaborations Cohorts, not brittle partnerships—designed to reduce dropout risk, increase diversity, and ensure ELL accessibility.Authentic Purpose for Language Learning English isn't a worksheet—it becomes the tool students use to communicate across borders and share their original ideas.A Low-Overhead, High-Impact Design Schools can join four-week pilots with one live class per week + a showcase and asynchronous global exchange.ELL-Ready, Teacher-Friendly Materials Built to make participation meaningful for all levels, not just native speakers.Impact to date:More than 42,000 student years of distance learning delivered.Students report increased confidence expressing original ideas in English.Meaningful growth in perspective-taking, curiosity, and cultural competence.Practical steps educators can take—whether or not they join the pilot.1. Bring the world into your classroom through personal live video. Use your own life, community, or experiences as cultural text. Even small shifts build perspective-taking.2. Integrate short, purposeful global exchanges. Asynchronous collaboration—sharing artifacts, reflections, or questions—can be powerful without live schedules aligning.3. Join the Global Learning Live Spring Pilot. Schools receive a free 4-week experience including:One weekly live sessionA live virtual field tripA collaborative artifact exchangeAccess to a global cohort of classrooms across continents4. Start planning for sustained global engagement. Seth describes the future vision: a global network with diverse cohorts, built-in supports for ELL learners, and eventually a FERPA-compliant platform designed for authentic collaboration at scale.Episode LinksGlobal Learning Live – Spring Pilot Sign-UpCILC.org – Schedule Virtual Field Trips, Including Banyan's Bridges of Portland Trip

Parents everywhere are wrestling with the same impossible question: How do you protect your kids from online harm without raising them in a bubble?In this episode, Nicki is joined by Titania Jordan, CMO of Bark Technologies, to take on one of the most common—and most misunderstood—parenting mindsets: “We supervise. We talk about safety. We don't want our kids to be naïve… so we let them use these platforms.”We read real parent comments about giving kids access to Roblox, YouTube, phones, and social media despite knowing the risks. Together, we break down what this approach gets right—and where it unintentionally opens the door to serious online dangers.This episode is for every parent trying to thread the needle between keeping kids safe and letting them live in the world.You are not powerless. You don't have to choose between protection and exposure—you can do both, intentionally.The goal isn't perfection.The goal is raising kids who can navigate the digital world—not be consumed by it.Mentioned in the Episode: Bark's Connected Communities ProgramBark Drive-A-Logue CardsJoin parents taking action at https://www.scrolling2death.com/heat‍This episode is sponsored by Bark Technologies:‍Learn about the Bark Phone.‍Learn about the Bark App for iPhones and Androids.  *Use code SCROLLING2DEATH FOR 10% OFF‍Learn about the Bark Watch.

Ever watch a simple contact spiral because someone felt disrespected? We sat down with Ofc. Jorge Lopez, a 30-year officer and veteran trainer, to unpack why ego flares so fast on the street and how to keep decisions anchored in reason, law, and outcome. Jorge doesn't preach clichés—he maps the psychology. Using Freud's id–ego–superego as a field-ready model, he shows how the “horse” (id) wants instant gratification, the “reins” (superego) tug toward ideals, and the “rider” (ego) has to steer under stress. When a “snake on the trail” appears—insults, defiance, a sudden kick—officers feel before they think. The trick is noticing the spike and buying time.We break down the limbic system and amygdala's threat signals versus the prefrontal cortex where law, policy, and judgment live. Anger is fast, fear is loud, and love—duty to protect—often proves stronger than both. George offers practical tools: the RULER method to recognize, label, and regulate emotions; the Johari Window to reveal blind spots that only emerge under heat; and his Four C's—Camera, Communicate, Contact, Control—to structure every interaction. Add his favorite formula—Distance + Cover = Time—and you get a simple path to safer, smarter choices that hold up in court and on camera.We also challenge the illusion of control. Crowds can't be commanded into calm; you monitor potential threats while solving the actual problem. Talk more, force less. Competence breeds calm, and the best fighters rarely need to prove it. You'll hear how internal scripts—It's not personal; Don't take the bait; Is this worth my career?—help officers steer back to thinking. And beyond tactics, we talk identity: building a life outside the badge so the job doesn't own you.If you're a cop, trainer, or curious citizen, this conversation delivers actionable mindset, emotional intelligence, scenario training insights, and street-proven frameworks to reduce unnecessary force and improve outcomes.

Rethinking nonprofit success usually begins with new metrics or another training calendar. In this conversation, educator and learning strategist Nancy Bacon of Nancy Bacon Consulting proposes something far more disruptive: stop confusing information with action. Drawing on adult learning research and decades inside associations, state agencies, and community organizations, she challenges the sector's default response to problems—more workshops, more webinars, more content.Nancy names the uncomfortable truth: only about 10 percent of training translates into behavior change. That means roughly 90 percent of our investment in “capacity building” does not reliably alter what people actually do. For a sector that prides itself on stewardship, that is a profound governance and management issue, not merely a pedagogical one.Instead, Nancy urges nonprofit leaders to move from a training mindset to a performance mindset. Rather than asking, “What session can we send them to?” she asks, “What would it take for our board members, staff, or volunteers to perform this task?” That question opens a richer design space: targeted knowledge, specific skills, practice in a safe environment, emotional connection, and practical support, such as job aids and clear task lists.At the center of her framework is a deceptively simple sentence: “our nonprofits are only as strong as their people are.” Capacity is no longer an abstract concept; it becomes the ability, confidence, emotional readiness, and structural support that everyday people need in order to act.Nancy also reframes motivation. Emotions may trigger interest, but sustained action depends on the partnership of competence and confidence, repeatedly reinforced through real practice. Her story of a board member whose service is rooted in the grief of losing a child makes this point vivid: when we slow down enough to know why people are at the table, we unlock a different level of commitment and trust.For boards, fundraisers, and executives, this discussion is an invitation to pause the endless “rinse and repeat” of busywork and reconsider how learning, performance, and human psychology intersect. 00:00:00 Today's big question 00:02:02 Meet Nancy Bacon educator designer and learning strategist 00:03:33 Information is not action the ten percent reality of training 00:06:31 From training to performance what board members really need 00:12:48 Nonprofit capacity our organizations are only as strong as their people 00:16:01 Competence confidence and the lost art of practice 00:18:30 Motivation emotions and the gap between need to know and need to do 00:21:47 Why are you really on this board the story that changed the room 00:25:32 Nonprofits are in the people business brain and behavior science in action 00:26:18 Under pressure can nonprofits still slow down to rethink success Find us Live daily on YouTube!Find us Live daily on LinkedIn!Find us Live daily on X: @Nonprofit_ShowOur national co-hosts and amazing guests discuss management, money and missions of nonprofits! 12:30pm ET 11:30am CT 10:30am MT 9:30am PTSend us your ideas for Show Guests or Topics: HelpDesk@AmericanNonprofitAcademy.comVisit us on the web:The Nonprofit Show

There's a lot of debate these days about what it means to be a man. But maybe the answer is simpler than we think, and a lot of masculinity just comes down to confident competence. A broad set of know-how. The ability to get stuff done. The capacity to move through the world with purpose and skill.As someone who's lived several lives in one, Elliot Ackerman certainly embodies that ethos. He's a decorated Marine, a former CIA paramilitary officer, a National Book Award-nominated novelist, and now the writer of A Man Should Know, a column at The Free Press that explores the small but significant skills that shape a man's life.Today on the show, Elliot and I talk about why young men are struggling, how intention, discipline, and competence can change the way a man carries himself, and a few of the specific skills a man should know — from how to wear a watch to how to give a eulogy.Resources Related to the PodcastElliot's novelsElliot's "A Man Should Know:" columns:How to Introduce YourselfHow to Be a FriendHow to Own a WatchFields of Fire by James WebbThe Things They Carried by Tim O'BrienThe Catcher in the Rye by J.

In this episode, Dr. Stuart Slavin speaks with Dr. Adam Neufeld, family physician and clinical assistant professor at the University of Calgary. Drawing on his research in Self-Determination Theory (SDT), Dr. Neufeld explains how autonomy, competence, and relatedness—the three universal psychological needs—shape motivation, engagement, and well-being in medical education and practice. Together they explore how supporting these needs can foster authentic motivation, enhance learning environments, and counteract burnout. Dr. Neufeld also clarifies common misconceptions about autonomy, shares practical strategies for educators and leaders, and discusses how small changes in communication and structure can transform both teaching and workplace culture.

Send us a textIn this week's episode, Dale and Brian talk about what really matters when building a great team. It's easy to focus on résumés and experience, but they remind listeners that the real difference-maker is the person behind the skills. Every new hire will either contribute to the culture or contaminate it — which is why character always comes first.They walk through the Three C's they use when hiring: Character, the essential starting point; Culture, making sure someone fits the heartbeat of the organization; and Competence, the abilities needed to do the job well. Competence is still important, but only after character and culture are aligned.The episode wraps up with a simple encouragement to “make the main thing the main thing.” When leaders protect their culture and prioritize character, they set their teams up to grow stronger, healthier, and more united in their mission.Episode Highlights: Developing & protecting culture.The 3 C Filter.The order matters.Links Mentioned in Episode/Find More on ForeverLawn:www.foreverlawn.comImpact Without Limits Instagram: @impact_withoutlimitsForeverLawn's Instagram: @foreverlawnincGet Grass Without Limits HereVisit our show notes page HERESubscribe to Our Newsletter HEREDale's Instagram: @dalekarmieBrian's Instagram: @bkarmieFind Our Shorts on the ForeverLawn YouTube ChannelThis show has been produced by Adkins Media Co.

Gaps in knowledge and performance happen naturally, even in high-performing teams. In this episode, Mike and Jim explore why blind spots develop despite good training, smart people, and strong intent. They walk through the realities of cognitive load—how much information a practitioner can realistically retain—and how this affects everything from tactical decision-making to compliance with policy and law. Using examples from aviation, policing, and military training, they illustrate how complexity, fatigue, and skill decay shape performance far more than most would acknowledge. The conversation also addresses how organizations should think about standards, instructor responsibilities, evaluation systems, and the realistic limits of human learning. They highlight tools leaders can use to expose and correct blind spots: independent evaluation, scenario-based application, and deliberate debriefing. Mike and Jim emphasize the importance of professional education, continual reinforcement, and maintaining a baseline that is both realistic and mission-appropriate. Take a moment and ask yourself: Are you tired of always having to work on the lowest common denominator? Do you know what your own weaknesses are and how they can impact you? This episode helps practitioners understand their own limitations, recognize when they need help, and apply structured thinking to improve safety, efficiency, and organizational credibility.

There's no two ways about it — Marjorie Taylor Greene's resignation came as a shock. She's leaving Congress at the start of the year, which means Republicans will immediately lose a vote they absolutely cannot spare. Governor Brian Kemp now has to call a special election, and even if he moves at the fastest pace legally possible, Georgia's replacement likely won't arrive until April or May. At that point we're deep into a cycle where dozens of House Republicans are juggling competitive reelection campaigns, statewide ambitions or both. Losing a seat now isn't a problem; losing a seat during the most politically fragile stretch of the year is a crisis.The fascinating part is how we got here. Greene was once one of Trump's fiercest and most loyal defenders, a political brawler who generated attention, small-dollar fundraising and cable hits. Her real institutional power, however, came from her alliance with Kevin McCarthy. When McCarthy fell, Greene's entire support structure collapsed with him. She wasn't able to transfer that leverage to Speaker Mike Johnson. In fact, her attempt to oust Johnson failed so publicly that it effectively isolated her. Add to that the now-infamous Tony Fabrizio polling memo — sent from the inside of Trumpworld directly to Greene herself — telling her she couldn't win statewide, and suddenly the relationship that once powered her rise curdled into animosity. Once Trump's giving you mean nicknames on a Truth Social post, it's pretty clear your days inside the tent are over.Politics Politics Politics is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.In the past few weeks, Greene has been everywhere—Real Time, The View, CNN—adopting a noticeably softer tone about political adversaries, including Nancy Pelosi. None of that happens by accident. And while no one close to her has confirmed anything, I can't shake the sense that she's plotting a pivot toward statewide office. The national rebrand won't work; she's too defined. But in a state like Georgia, where the Republican base still views her as a heroine and suburban women remain the barrier to statewide wins, maybe she sees a narrow path for a remade persona. Insiders I've spoken with don't think it's likely — but nobody dismisses it out of hand. After all, Georgia politics has delivered plenty of stranger twists than Marjorie Taylor Greene trying to run as a kinder, gentler insurgent.A Bad Week for DOJ: Sloppy Cases, Angry Allies and a Political CostWhile Greene was calculating her next chapter, the Trump administration's Department of Justice was stumbling through one of its most humiliating stretches since the start of the second term. Two high-profile cases—one targeting James Comey and another targeting New York Attorney General Letitia James—fell apart in spectacular fashion. The Comey case wasn't dismissed on a technicality; it was thrown out because the Department of Justice may not have even properly secured a grand jury indictment. Not good. And because of how the dismissal occurred, the case cannot be refiled. Comey is permanently in the clear. The Letitia James case was dismissed for different reasons, and that one can theoretically return — but in practice, it's now damaged and politically radioactive.Look. These cases were clearly pushed at the direction of Donald Trump himself. He said the quiet part out loud on Truth Social, publicly urging prosecutions of Comey, James and Adam Schiff before deleting the message. Trump wanted consequences for people he sees as political enemies. But wanting something and executing it competently are two very different things. And what happened here wasn't just sloppy — it undercut the credibility of his claim to be the only person who can “clean up the system.” If you're promising a more efficient, more disciplined government, you cannot afford your Justice Department to mishandle prosecutions this badly.This is also where the political costs begin to show. Punchbowl reported this week that Greene's resignation has other Republicans eyeing the exits. I've heard similar grumbling from people close to MAGA-aligned lawmakers: they feel neglected by the White House, shut out of decision-making, and deprived of the small wins that normally help hold a caucus together. On issues like Venezuela, they simply want explanations — and aren't getting them. Add the DOJ fiasco on top, and you have a governing coalition that increasingly feels taken for granted. The math is brutal: Republicans are two retirements away from losing the House majority outright. No one thinks a mass exodus is imminent, but the fact that the scenario has become a topic of conversation tells you how fragile the coalition is.The bottom line: if the Trump administration wants to restore confidence — inside the party and beyond — it can't afford more weeks like this. Competence matters. And right now, the DOJ is delivering the exact opposite.Chapters00:00:00 - Intro00:02:10 - Marjorie Taylor Greene00:11:02 - Rush Hour 4 (seriously)00:11:44 - DOJ's Bad Day00:16:38 - Are the Republicans in Trouble?00:19:39 - 2028 Picks with Gloria Young01:03:30 - Wrap-up This is a public episode.

Watch the YouTube version of this episode HEREAre you a law firm owner looking for advice on improving leadership? In this insightful episode of the Maximum Lawyer Podcast, Tyson interviews  lawyer and leadership consultant Noel Bagwell about personal experiences of resilience and rebuilding after major life changes, the importance of trust and communication in business, and his unique subscription-based legal model. Noel shares his insight on the importance of trust in legal practice and in leadership consulting. Both involve building and maintaining relationships with coworkers, counterparts and clients. It is important to be mindful of how you structure your relationships with people and how you navigate conflict. If you can develop trusting relationships, you can be informal with how to do business. But, it is crucial to still create strong, formal contracts with clients to keep things professional. Noel and Tyson chat about how to build confidence in yourself and clients. The first thing in achieving this is to understand your own competence. Think about what you excel in and what your weaknesses are, especially if you struggle with imposter syndrome. You need to rethink your mindset as it relates to yourself and your abilities. If there are areas of your firm that you are not strong in, such as contracts or intake, take some time to figure out a strong path forward to implement that change.Take a listen!2:20 AI, Simulation Theory, and Faith5:56 Leadership Failures and Legal Problems9:50 Strength, Masculinity, and Resilience14:44 Parenting, Self-Defense, and Channeling Energy16:21 Coaching, Focus, and Positive Guidance18:14 Virtue, Competence, and Trust in Law 22:42 Work-Life Fusion and Authenticity 24:37 Preventing Overwhelm and Setting Expectations32:57 Flat Fee vs. Hourly Billing43:35 Competence, Confidence, and Identity 48:12 Layers of Identity and BeliefTune in to today's episode and checkout the full show notes here. Connect with Noel:Website Linkedin
