The View from Behind Xi Jinping's Desk, with Jonathan Czin

This week on the Sinica Podcast, I speak with Jonathan Czin, the Michael H. Armacost Chair in Foreign Policy Studies and a fellow at the Brookings Institution's John L. Thornton China Center. His new essay in Foreign Affairs, “China Against China: Xi Jinping Confronts the Downsides of Success,” challenges the dominant Western narrative of Xi Jinping as either Mao reincarnate or a brittle autocrat presiding over imminent collapse. Instead, Czin argues that Xi's most illiberal reforms can be understood as attempts to cure the pathologies of China's own success. We discuss his framing of Xi's “Counterreformation,” how it helps explain China's current political direction, and what it reveals about our own analytical blind spots in the West.7:15 – Xi's “reformation” and Carl Minzner's “end of reform and opening”12:18 – Corruption, decentralization, and the “lost decade” under Hu and Wen20:12 – Defining “resilience” and what Xi means by “eating bitterness”29:45 – The “downsides of success”: property, corruption, and governance contradictions45:30 – Counter-reformation vs. counterrevolution: what Xi wants to preserve and discard54:20 – The myth of yes-men: triangulation and feedback in Xi's leadership style1:07:07 – Cognitive empathy and why most U.S. analysis of Xi falls short1:15:35 – Systems that can't course-correct: comparing the U.S. and China1:22:05 – Cognitive empathy, ideology, and the problem of American exceptionalismPaying it forward:Jonathan: Allie Mathias and Dinny McMahonRecommendations:Jonathan: The Thirty Years War by C.V.

On Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik Chakraborty huddles with Mark Bruce and Duane Gibbs—co-founders of Huddle for Success and authors of Playbook for Life—about clear goal-setting, wealth strategies that last, and the mindset required to get unstuck. We dig into belief, accountability, and why a “huddle” (mastermind/team) beats solo hustle. Expect practical tools you can run today: the 6-task productivity method, journaling to design goals, and reframing burnout with smarter thinking over busier doing. About the guests : Mark Bruce and Duane Gibbs bring 70+ years of combined experience as entrepreneurs, educators, and performance coaches. Mark grew up with coaches, achieved semi-retirement by 36, and teaches clarity, desire, and belief as the core of achievement. Duane moved from construction and real estate investing into decades of national training, guiding thousands on mindset, strategy, and disciplined action. Together they run Huddle for Success and wrote Playbook for Life. Key takeaways : Write one clear goal in the present tense (“I am… I have…”) and revisit it daily to focus your mind. Use the 6-task method: each night list the six highest-impact actions for tomorrow, prioritize, and execute in order. Journal to see patterns, identify obstacles, and convert vague wishes into measurable goals and quick wins. Get comfortable being uncomfortable; momentum begins when you act before you feel perfectly ready. Belief beats busyness: hard work matters, but mindset and thinking differently create breakthroughs (the “open door” vs. the fly at the window). Replace solo grind with a huddle/mastermind—accountability, perspective, and better questions accelerate results. Don't compare your path to others; define success on your terms and celebrate progress. Combat burnout by simplifying inputs, aligning actions with purpose, and executing consistently, not endlessly. Common blocker at every level: self-doubt. Counter it with evidence (small wins), coaching, and clear why-statements (ask “why” seven times). Immediate action: grab the free Playbook for Life, schedule a 45-minute huddle, and run your first 6-task list today.

      Roman Revisionism and the Crisis of the American Republic Gaius and Germanicus discuss the 21st-century revisionism of Rome, which they find entertaining, noting that it presents figures like Domitian as successful and Nero as misunderstood. They counter the revisionist view that the Roman Republic was vital by asserting that Rome was perpetually embroiled in civil war until the ultimate resolution by an emperor. This leads to the central question of whether the American Republic is in a late stage heading toward an emperor. They debate whether political strife signals societal vitality or decadence, noting that while conflict in U.S. history was sometimes resolved by figures like Franklin Delano Roosevelt or McKinley, the late Roman Republic required the intervention of "big men" like the triumvirates (Pompey and Caesar). The speakers suggest the current American political structure and unsustainable economic inequality may require a major adjustment, echoing the Roman path. They conclude by heading off to make a sacrifice to the great god Augustus. 1876 NERO AND TORCHES FOR CHRISTIANS

How Ludus survived 95% revenue loss during COVID-19 and came out stronger than ever | Zachary Collins

Category Visionaries

Play Episode Listen Later Oct 8, 2025 24:53


Ludus operates a zero-cost ticketing platform for performing arts organizations, monetizing through patron convenience fees while transferring full ticket face value to venues. What began as a freshman year project for a high school theater director evolved into a company processing millions annually across thousands of customers. After surviving COVID-19's 95% revenue elimination and competitor market exits, Ludus captured displaced customers and achieved their growth inflection point. In a recent episode of Category Visionaries, CEO and Co-Founder Zachary Collins detailed the execution mechanics behind customer advocacy generation, human-differentiated scaling, and market expansion through systematic word-of-mouth amplification. Topics Discussed: Monetization alignment between platform and venues through patron-paid fee structures Crisis survival mechanics: reducing to two employees while maintaining core product functionality Systematic customer advocacy through documented attribution and public recognition programs Counter-positioning against AI-first competitors through human-guaranteed support availability Strategic capital deployment: transitioning from profitable bootstrapping to venture-accelerated expansion Geographic and vertical expansion from high school theater to community venues and concert halls GTM Lessons For B2B Founders: Deploy bottom-up penetration to bypass procurement friction and generate authentic adoption signals: Collins chose theater director sales over superintendent-level contracts despite longer individual deal cycles. This approach avoided forced adoption resistance while creating measurable engagement data from actual product usage rather than mandate compliance. The strategic insight: bottom-up sales generate higher-quality expansion opportunities because satisfied end users become internal advocates who influence broader organizational adoption. Implementation requires identifying decision-makers with both budget authority and day-to-day pain points, then optimizing for usage depth over initial contract size. Transform support incidents into systematic advocacy generation through zero-effort resolution protocols: When database corruption lost customer registration data, Ludus manually contacted every affected parent, reconstructed missing information, and delivered complete solutions in organized spreadsheets. This zero-customer-effort approach generates 97-99% satisfaction scores while creating advocacy moments from potential churn situations. The tactical framework: establish incident response that eliminates customer work entirely, document extraordinary efforts taken, and follow up to ensure complete satisfaction. This converts support costs from pure overhead into measurable advocacy generation with direct attribution to pipeline growth. Engineer feature request workflows for collaborative product development perception and testimonial generation: Collins maintains attribution tracking for every customer suggestion, notifies requesters when features launch, and credits contributors in public release communications. This systematic approach creates investment psychology where customers feel ownership in product evolution rather than experiencing transactional vendor relationships. The operational mechanics: implement CRM tagging for feature requests with customer attribution, maintain development pipeline visibility for relationship managers, and create regular recognition touchpoints that generate authentic testimonials from customers seeing their ideas implemented. Capitalize on crisis-driven competitor consolidation through rapid capability expansion and customer acquisition: During COVID-19, while Ludus approached business failure with 95% revenue loss, they developed social distancing seating configurations and streaming integrations. As competitors failed or lost customer trust through poor crisis management, displaced organizations sought alternatives, creating Ludus's 2021 growth acceleration. This demonstrates the competitive opportunity in market disruptions: companies that maintain product investment during crisis periods position themselves to capture market share from failing incumbents. Strategic preparation requires maintaining development capabilities during revenue downturns and building crisis-specific feature sets before market demand crystallizes. Counter-position against AI commoditization through human interaction guarantees and relationship depth: While competitors deploy AI-first support to reduce costs, Collins maintains human availability guarantees including coverage 10 minutes before customer events. This creates differentiation as AI standardizes basic interactions across the industry. The strategic positioning: as routine customer service becomes commoditized through AI deployment, companies maintaining genuine human relationships capture disproportionate value in relationship-dependent markets. Execution requires deliberate investment in support team scaling, clear AI boundary policies, and metrics that measure relationship quality rather than just response time efficiency.   //   Sponsors: Front Lines — We help B2B tech companies launch, manage, and grow podcasts that drive demand, awareness, and thought leadership. www.FrontLines.io The Global Talent Co. — We help tech startups find, vet, hire, pay, and retain amazing marketing talent that costs 50-70% less than the US & Europe. www.GlobalTalent.co   //   Don't Miss: New Podcast Series — How I Hire Senior GTM leaders share the tactical hiring frameworks they use to build winning revenue teams.

On this episode of the Built Different Podcast, we’re joined by Josh Rutledge, Vice President of Spiritual Development at Liberty University. Josh is passionate about equipping the next generation to live out authentic faith in a culture that constantly challenges it. From his leadership on campus to his preaching in Convocation and Campus Community, Josh has a unique vantage point into what God is doing in the lives of young adults today. In our conversation, Josh reflects on the sobering cultural moment we’re living in and how tragic events have stirred both grief and a renewed hunger for truth among students. He shares powerful insights on the revival and spiritual awakening taking place across college campuses, highlighting the ways students are pressing in with a genuine desire to follow Jesus. We also talk about the dangers that threaten faith formation in young adults, the importance of discipleship as a “long obedience in the same direction,” and why spiritual formation requires not just learning about Jesus but also living like Him. Josh unpacks the heart behind Liberty’s “Built Different” sermon series, emphasizing holy habits, community, mentorship, and perseverance as essential to cultivating a resilient faith. Throughout the episode, Josh reminds us that while the challenges of our culture are real, God is at work in extraordinary ways, raising up a generation committed to truth, righteousness, and the gospel.

Gregg Renfrew Returns! The Founder of Beautycounter and Counter Is Back

In 2013, Gregg Renfrew founded Beautycounter—the beauty brand that pioneered what we know today as the clean beauty movement. The brand gained a well-respected reputation for its commitment to using safe ingredients in its products and for refusing to include any formulas that contained questionable or harmful chemicals. Renfrew's commitment to customer health and her advocacy for cosmetic regulation set her apart from her competitors at a time when clean beauty was just an idea, not an entire industry. She last joined us in 2019, before the company's sale to a private equity firm in a deal that valued the brand at $1 billion. Since then, she's had to make several pivots—from being asked to step down as CEO to leaving her own company to watching it go into foreclosure. Her latest pivot has involved starting a new company with the same commitment to clean beauty called Counter, and she's back to tell us all about the new venture.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Judaism has always, from the very beginning, been a counter point to the surrounding culture. Most of us have grown up in a Jewish community that has struggled to blend our surrounding culture with our ancient tradition. But as the culture around us becomes unbearable, maybe this is the exact time to reclaim our roots!About Rabbi Ravid TillesRabbi Ravid Tilles is the School Rabbi and Director of Jewish Life and Learning at Schechter Boston.

Lured Up - A Pokémon GO Podcast

Lured Up Podcast 365 Live Streamed on - 9/30/25 Publish Date - 10/3/2025 When you think about it, this week was completely normal. Wake up, open the game, go to work, come home, go to bed, then repeat. The culture of routines that this game has created provide Trainers with the consistent backbone to their day. As Pokémon GO Trainers, we really do have a unique approach to how we game, with gameplay styles that are diverse and personalized. Being a current Pokémon GO Trainer is a great thing.  Mega Camerupt gave IRL Trainers the opportunity to have another day of grinding which could evolve into a Trade Day afterparty. With most events happening on Sundays, it lines up perfectly, but for next Saturday's Meta Metagross Raid Day, we may see the first stand alone Trade Day Campfire events. We can't hype up enough how awesome Trade Days are and how they managed to create a weekly event that pairs perfectly with off screen activities.  Looking at the October Calendar, we see a balanced month of events, new releases, and the return of the Halloween Event. Mega Metagross has been a long time coming so we put together a Battle Party and check out Pokebattler and GO Hub to review what counters to bring. Hopefully we see some fun and unique battle parties out there as the Counter list is exceptionally diverse. Let us know what you are bringing! We wrap things up by spending a hypothetical $20 in the webstore and opening a conversation about spending in general. One thing the game does well is to tap into our emotions to influence spending, even when the purchase may not lead to what you want or expect. Impulsive behaviors, FOMO, and so many other factors play a role in how much and how often we spend. Does this give Trainers agency to be an individual, or does it drive Trainers apart?

Flying changes can feel like one of the biggest hurdles in dressage. This week's Q&A was all about breaking them down into clear steps, building the right foundation, and staying positive as you and your horse learn together. We also shared some awesome updates from 30 Days to Round.What we coveredWhy preparation matters most: Flying changes don't start with the change itself. Counter canter, suppleness, and the ability to adjust bend are key prerequisites.Common struggles: From horses who change late behind or anticipate the change, we discussed how to clarify aids and stay consistent.Breaking down the system: Every trainer has their own exercises, but the principles stay the same: balance, engagement, clarity, and timing.Real-life examples: Updates from my work with Mik, and insights from other top trainers.Rider mindset: Staying mentally fresh when the process feels long, and remembering to return to the training scale (rhythm, suppleness, connection, impulsion, straightness, collection) whenever you're stuck.Happy Riding,AmeliaPS. Flying changes aren't magic, they're a system. With the right preparation, every horse can learn them. RSVP for my Flying Changes Webinar this Sunday.

What does it really mean to live as Kingdom people in a world that often walks in darkness? In Matthew 5, Jesus calls us the salt of the earth and the light of the world—His standard-bearers of truth and hope. When God's people show up and live counter to the culture around them, society is preserved, lives are changed, and the Kingdom of God is revealed. There is an invitation for us to embrace our identity, stand firm in God's Word, and bring impact in every layer of life. Recorded at Hope Church in Springfield, MO.

At age 59, Anne Abel had never been to a concert. Ever. Music wasn't part of her upbringing, although emotional abuse and belittlement from her parents absolutely were. Reluctantly agreeing to join her son and daughter-in-law to see Bruce Springsteen, Anne's mind was absolutely blown by the energy and generosity of the musicians and the crowd. Bruce shined a light on a better possible world and allowed her to have fun for the first time in her life. Something awakened. Soon, Anne booked a solo trip to Australia, following Bruce to eight concerts. In her book chronicling the trip, High Hopes, Anne describes literally rubbing elbows with Bruce and the band, experiencing cathartic joy, and opening a path to a better, happier, more fun life. Her depression wasn't cured, that's not how it works, but her collaboration with Bruce has helped her a lot.Wits Reunion Show at the Fitzgerald TheaterJohn Moe's writing classes at the Loft Literary CenterThank you to all our listeners who support the show as monthly members of Maximum Fun.Check out our I'm Glad You're Here and Depresh Mode merchandise at the brand new merch website MaxFunStore.com!Hey, remember, you're part of Depresh Mode and we want to hear what you want to hear about.
