Darren welcomes back Tim Watts MP to the podcast. Tim is now the government's Special Envoy for Indian Ocean Affairs having also served as assistant minister for foreign affairs in the Albanese government's first term. The discussion begins with Tim's new role and the importance of the Indian Ocean Region to Australia's national interests. From there, Darren asks Tim to reflect on his time as Assistant Foreign Minister and what the work he did says about Australian foreign policy more broadly. What are the inputs to success? The conversation finishes with the vital (and ongoing) challenge of Asian capability.  Australia in the World is written, hosted, and produced by Darren Lim, with research and editing this episode by Hannah Nelson and theme music composed by Rory Stenning.

Seth and Sean lay out why the Texans can't afford to be complacent or cocky with Lamar Jackson out, why Deion Sanders' advice to his son isn't looking too smart now that Lamar's injured, and discuss Reed Sheppard's confidence and importance headed into Rockets preseason.

The story of Abraham, especially the binding of Isaac, has become closely associated with the Feast of Trumpets/Rosh Hashanah. Abraham was promised great blessing, yet his life was full of challenges and hardships from start to finish. At the beginning, God asked him to give up his past and go to a foreign land … somewhere. Even towards the end of his life the testing wasn't over. Abraham was asked to give up his future–his beloved son, Isaac. After undergoing so much why did God continue to test him? Why does the Lord continue to test us? And what's the connection with the blowing of the shofar?

Pastor Will Hatfield - Galatians 1-2

On today's “Encouragement for..”episode, I am speaking to the person who is feeling stuck, lost or complacent in their life. We all go through seasons of life with unique challenges, and sometimes the stillness is God‘s way of letting us know that growth is needed. Change is needed. Let today's episode inspire you to recognize that the season of apathy or stillness is your invitation to grow. If you have a friend or family member that you believe may benefit from this episode, maybe take this opportunity to share this link with them. Thank you for being a listener and I look forward to hearing your feedback. Have a wonderful week.-Anna Marie Valentine LPC, RDT, RYT-200, PhD Candidate https://www.movedbygracecounseling.comhttps://www.instagram.com/movedbygracecounseling?igsh=NW96NGpjd20zN3V2&utm_source=qr

The hour began with a call suggesting Juan Soto is complacent. We then discussed the Jets and Giants, noting the Giants' stability with Daboll and Schoen versus the Jets' new coach and GM, predicting growing pains. The importance of preseason play for quarterbacks was highlighted. A caller expressed confidence in the Jets making the playoffs. C-Lo's update followed, preceded by Boomer's anecdote about seeing "mutants" outside the Aladdin theater. C-Lo reported the Yankees avoiding a sweep against the Rangers, David Bednar's 5-out save, Paul Goldschmidt's pinch-hit game-winning HR, and Juan Soto's ninth-inning homer for the Mets' only hit. Jane Slater and Jerry Jones debated the Micah Parsons situation. The hour concluded with a discussion about Eddie's retirement and Boomer's frequent inquiries about his own retirement.

Scott Ladner, chief investment officer at Horizon Investments, says he's "not super comfortable right now because everyone else is."While he doesn't see anything specific that could derail the markets, he notes that times when investors throw caution to the wind typically end badly, and that August historically has been a month for market surprises. Ladner says that earnings have been good enough to drive success this year, and that should continue, though it may reflect sluggish economic conditions and slow down a bit before the year ends. John Cole Scott, president of CEF Advisors — the chairman of the Active Investment Company Alliance — digs into his firm's data to look at whether the double-digit yields that are easily found in many closed-end fund asset categories are real and worth pursuing or if they are dangerous and headed for a fall. Plus David Miller, co-founder of the Catalyst Mutual Funds, brings his mix of wide-moat and fundamental research with insider-buying and other factors to the Market Call.

Ed Shill, managing partner at the Wealth Enhancement Group, says he sees the market either continuing to climb the proverbial wall of worry or getting complacent, and he fears that it's the latter after the sharp rebound from April's decline. "Right now the market is overbought," Shill says in the Market Call, where he recommends "putting airbags on," using stops to lock in profits and being prepared to step back from markets until conditions improve. In The Big Interview, Sam Millette, senior investment strategist at Commonwealth Financial Network, says that the Federal Reserve faces a challenge getting the market to understand its motivation for any rate cuts it makes later this year. He expects a rate cut later this year, likely in September, but he says the reaction of the market — whether it gives the classic bullish response or if it reacts as it did in 2024 when cuts had less impact than expected, particularly on bond markets — will depend on what the market thinks is the Fed's motivation for a cut. Plus, Anthony Holds of Holds Wealth Advisors discusses the latest results from Northwestern Mutual's 2025 Planning & Progress Study, in which nearly 70% of Americans reported that financial uncertainty has made them feel depressed and anxious.

Start Your Transformation Now In this episode of the Jim Fortin Podcast, Jim explores why so many people feel lost, apathetic, or stuck in a fog of complacency and burnout—especially when they've been on a path of personal development. He opens up about his own experiences with burnout and depression, then introduces a powerful reframing: these feelings are not failures, but soulful signals calling us to evolve. Jim shares the transformational idea that depression is not just a chemical imbalance or lack of motivation—it's often the soul refusing to participate in a life it no longer aligns with. He dives into the difference between 3D ego identity and soul identity, the painful but necessary collapse of old egoic patterns, and how ancient wisdom, alignment, and awareness can illuminate the path to joy, meaning, and inner power. If you're feeling uninspired, burned out, or unsure of your purpose, this episode isn't just for you—it's a spiritual wake-up call. Let Jim guide you out of the low-altitude loop of ego and into the elevated space where your soul can finally breathe, lead, and thrive. What You'll Discover in This Episode: The Real Reason You Feel Burned Out and Apathetic (01:15)Jim reflects on his own experience of hitting an emotional wall and explains why feelings of stagnation are often soul-level invitations to grow. The Illusion of Identity (03:45)Explore how your 3D ego identity masks your true self—and why it's vital to begin seeing yourself as soul, not just a physical or professional persona. What a Shamanic Death Can Teach Us (12:00)Jim explains the concept of a “shamanic death”—the painful shedding of outdated ego patterns—and how this process mirrors deep personal transformation. Why Depression Isn't What You Think It Is (17:45)A powerful insight: “Depression is the soul refusing to participate in a life it no longer resonates with.” This shift can change how you view emotional pain. The Collapse of the Ego Mask (21:30)Understand how your old motivations and egoic identities may no longer serve you—and why letting them go can open the door to soulful living. Let the Soul Drive the Bus (26:30)Learn how to recognize what lights you up and let your soul—not your fears or social programming—lead the way in life and work. Listen, apply, and enjoy! Transformational Takeaway Modern culture rewards the hustle, but it has no patience for the collapse of the old self. The burnout, the boredom, the apathy—they're not failures. They're soulful cues, inviting you to stop grinding and start aligning. Don't let your ego mask keep you stuck in a story that no longer fits. Let your soul breathe. Let it lead. And remember: what lights you up is your soul speaking. Follow it, do it well, and abundance will follow. Let's Connect: Instagram | Facebook | YouTube | LinkedIn LIKED THE EPISODE?

Are investors dangerously ignoring risk? Despite signs of slowing economic growth, elevated valuations, and geopolitical uncertainty, markets continue to trend higher with remarkably low volatility. Lance Roberts & Jonathan Penn address whether or not markets too complacent, remembering wedding anniversaries, and whether the ratings agencies are to be believed: Why even rate Treasuries at all? A look at bad headlines (If it bleeds, it leads), and whether now is a terrible time to retire; the reality that markets don't really care about anything but forward earnings guidance. We'll explore why investor sentiment appears disconnected from fundamentals, what past periods of complacency have taught us, and how to identify the early warning signs of risk being mispriced.

Pastor Bobby Gore will also share a short devotional teaching from Psalm 115 titled, "Content Over Complacent," that encourages us to give God the Glory for all of His blessings and reminds us that contentment is vastly different than complacency. 

김영철의 파워FM - 진짜 영국식 영어 401회 - 방심하지마! = Let's not get complacent.

“Comfort is the enemy of greatness. Complacency is the enemy of your best self.”Complacency kills momentum—and momentum, once lost, is brutally hard to get back. Greatness begins where comfort ends, and the longer you stay in your comfort zone, the more your dreams slip into a slow death. Resistance, as Steven Pressfield calls it, is that sneaky force that convinces you to stay put, to play small, to opt out. The only way through it is action. Cold water. Movement. Connection. Anything that shakes you out of the fog of “I'll do it later.”This one's a call to arms. If you're coasting on yesterday's wins, it's time to shake things up. The advice is simple and physical: plunge into something cold, get your body moving, and talk to another human. That's how momentum gets reignited—not through thinking or planning, but doing. The excuses have to die before the dream does.It's hard either way. Discipline is hard, but so is regret. The discomfort of action is nothing compared to the pain of watching potential waste away.
