XI ZHONGXUN'S DEATH AND XI JINPING'S PHOBIA OF CHAOS Colleague Joseph Torigian. This final segment covers Xi Zhongxun's death and Xi Jinping's admiration for his father's unwavering faith in the party despite persecution. Torigian analyzes a conversation where Xi told Shinzo Abe he might have joined American political parties if born there, suggesting he is a realist nationalist. Ultimately, Xi's governance is defined by a "phobia of chaos" stemming from his family's traumatic Cultural Revolution experiences, driving his desire for total control. NUMBER 16

THE GREER INCIDENT AND THE DISASTROUS DES MOINES SPEECH Colleague H.W. Brands. H.W. Brands details the escalation of tensions in 1941, starting with FDR's declaration of an "unlimited national emergency." The segment covers the Greer incident, which FDR misrepresented to provoke hostility, and culminates in Lindbergh'sdisastrous Des Moines speech. By identifying the British, the Roosevelt administration, and Jewish Americans as war agitators, Lindbergh was branded an anti-Semite, effectively destroying his political viability and the America First Committee.

This week, Adam Russo, co-founder and owner of The Phia Group, explains how his company helps employers reduce their healthcare expenses. The key, he says, is to educate and incentivize employees to be smarter about how they purchase health care—without compromising on the quality of the care. That, he says, is how he's able to offer employees who've been with Phia for five years care that is entirely free: no deductibles, no co-pays. Many of his clients are big companies that self-fund their health insurance, but he says even businesses with as few as two employees can find tremendous savings this way.

In this episode of Head, Heart, and Boots, Brandon and I dig into one of the most overlooked drivers of growth in service businesses: the client experience. Sparked by a frustrating real-world story, we unpack how even well-intentioned teams can slowly erode trust through poor communication, missed expectations, and a lack of follow-through - and why those failures compound over time. We talk candidly about how competition in restoration and home services is changing, why today's customers are more informed and more skeptical than ever, and how growth, PE-backed operators, and higher deductibles are raising the bar for professionalism across the industry. From engineering a client experience instead of relying on heroics, to setting expectations early, owning the hard parts of the process, and designing workflows that protect trust, this episode is a practical reminder that growth doesn't come from doing more work - it comes from doing the work better. If you're a business owner or leader trying to scale without sacrificing reputation, referrals, or sanity, this conversation is a must-listen. Hope you enjoy. Chris Why You Should Listen [00:02:45] How a single bad customer experience exposed the quiet ways service quality erodes - even inside well-run companies [00:06:09] Why growth, higher deductibles, and more sophisticated competitors are forcing service businesses to rethink how they win and retain clients [00:09:45] How poor communication and unmanaged expectations turn customers into project managers - and destroy trust in the process [00:18:08] Why engineering a client experience beats relying on individual heroics — and how workflows protect both customers and teams [00:29:27] How setting expectations early, telling clients the hard truths, and embracing friction can actually become your biggest competitive advantage Did you know... Only 30% of businesses listed for sale actually find a buyer? Even more striking, just 10% of those sell for the price their owners anticipated or higher, meaning only 3% of all business owners achieve their desired sale price. By focusing on understanding and enhancing your enterprise value, you can significantly boost your chances of joining that successful 3%.

THE WOMEN OF THE JULIO-CLAUDIAN DYNASTY Colleague Daisy Dunn. Dunn profiles the powerful women of the Julio-Claudian dynasty. Livia is portrayed as Augustus's essential political partner and diplomat. The segment covers the tragic life of Julia, the lechery of Caligula, and the notorious reputation of Messalina. Finally, Agrippina the Younger is described as a co-emperor to her son Nero before he turned against her. Dunn concludes that Roman politics were bloodier but more politically savvy than the Greeks.

THE CULTURAL REVOLUTION: THE CULT OF YOUTH AND ANARCHY Colleague Professor Sean McMeekin. This segment covers the chaos of the mid-1960s Cultural Revolution. Mao mobilized a "cult of youth" to destroy the "old"—teachers, books, and cultural heritage—in a bid to purge rivals and reinvigorate the revolution. McMeekin describes this as the "nihilistic side" of communism carried to its logical conclusion: the destruction of civilization itself to build a blank slate. The Red Guards unleashed anarchy that the party could barely control, attacking foreign embassies and even targeting the Soviet Union, which Mao utilized as a convenient enemy alongside the United States. This period allowed Mao to "punch above his weight" geopolitically, despite the domestic ruin. The violence and indoctrination of the young set a grim precedent, specifically inspiring the Khmer Rouge in Cambodia to arm children against their elders. NUMBER 6

THE SHIFT TO CONSERVATISM AND THE GOVERNOR'S MANSION Colleague Max Boot. Boot traces Reagan's political evolution from New Deal Democrat to conservative icon while hosting General Electric Theater. He covers Reagan's breakout 1964 speech for Goldwater, his election as California governor, his confrontational handling of student protests, and his complex relationship with President Nixon before the Watergate scandal.

In this episode of My Weekly Mixtape, I spotlight 10 cover songs released this year that turn already familiar tunes into something fresh, unexpected, and conversation-worthy.Cover songs have always been a litmus test for creativity — and something I've always had a personal affinity for — but in 2025, artists are pushing reinterpretation further than ever. By reworking melodies, reshaping arrangements, and reframing the overall vibe, these versions give the originals entirely new meanings. This episode breaks down why these performances resonated, how they differ from (or pay homage to) the originals, and what makes a great cover song connect with fans today!

This week, the carnage from Rock Court Season 2 spills over on your Regarding…Slang hosts Chaz, Wolfie, Scotzo, and podcasting overlord Corey as they're joined by the ever-opinionated Judge Kevin Brown and Michael Pastore for a sprawling, raucous wrap-up of Def Leppard's “Slang” era and its B-sides. As the crew closes out the album, they dig into “Pearl of Euphoria” and a handful of deep cuts, wrestling with Def Leppard's late-90s identity crisis and the merits of ballads, B-sides, and band evolution.Before the music spins, the crew swaps stories about Def Leppard's setlists and the strange fate of “Slang” in the band's legacy. Chaz recalls seeing the band during this era, while Corey and Kevin debate the wisdom of chasing trends versus sticking to your sound. Scott admits to playlist curation anxiety as he tries to salvage the album with B-sides, and Wolfie confesses he's never really been a Leppard guy—despite decades of Chaz's endless inquiry, "Do you like Dep Leppard? I like Dep Leppard."The songs themselves? Opinions fly. “Pearl of Euphoria” is dissected for its Zeppelin-esque drums, U2 atmospherics, and meandering structure. B-sides like “Can't Keep Away from the Flame” and Euphoria-era “Burnout” spark enthusiasm, with the crew praising their authenticity and party-rock energy—even as they admit these tracks don't fit the album's mood. Covers and demos are sampled, with reactions ranging from “surprisingly great” to “why not just listen to the original?”This episode features:

AmericaFest wasn't just another conservative gathering—it exposed deep fractures over truth, loyalty, and discernment that the movement can't afford to ignore. I break down the explosive clashes surrounding Candace Owens, Ben Shapiro, Tucker Carlson, and the dangerous pull of conspiracy thinking that is confusing a rising generation. What's really at stake here isn't personalities or platforms, but whether believers can separate conviction from distraction in a moment that demands clarity. If you want to understand what's actually happening beneath the headlines, this conversation pulls the curtain back.   Podcast Episode 1977: Lance Covers the AmericaFest Food Fight | don't miss this!

Just in time for your holiday celebration, this one's from the vault. Recorded back in July and aging nicely on the shelf, this episode focuses on rare Covers of Tom Waits songs including a new one from Country Star Eric Church. Then from Norway there's Hell Blues Choir, and Frans Van Duerson, Desczowe Psy, Kazik and a half cover by T Bird and the Breaks. With such diverse styles, this is an extraordinary celebration. Be sure to stick around at the end too for the festive coda featuring, Christmas Card from a Hooker in Minneapolis and New Years Eve. Feel the Confetti, folks!

In this episode of Head, Heart, and Boots, Brandon and I sit down for a raw, unfiltered look at the last 60 days - the travel, the pressure, the wins we haven't slowed down to celebrate, and the realities of running two fast-moving companies at the same time. We talk about what it feels like when your business hits a streak of negative momentum, how long it takes to turn the ship, and why even small signs of stabilization matter more than you think. We get into the personal side, too - the exhaustion of constant context-shifting, how hard it's been to hold routines together, and what we're learning about rest, recovery, and leadership when everything speeds up at once. From supporting two teams across time zones, to protecting focus, to the conversations that are shaping our 2026 planning, this is a behind-the-scenes look at the real rhythms of entrepreneurship. Hope you enjoy. Chris Why You Should Listen [00:01:20] What the last 60 days looked like inside two growing companies - and how to recognize when negative momentum starts, stops, and finally stabilizes [00:03:49] Why celebrating wins matters (even when you're exhausted) and how missing those moments creates long-term burnout for founders and teams [00:07:26] The truth about routines under pressure - how travel, growth, and leadership demands quietly erode the habits that keep you grounded [00:24:13] How “context shifting” destroys focus, drains leaders, and impacts entire organizations - and why reducing it may be the key to a healthier 2026 [00:38:47] A candid look at stress, mental resets, and the tools leaders are turning to - from saunas to silence to psychedelic therapy Did you know... Only 30% of businesses listed for sale actually find a buyer? Even more striking, just 10% of those sell for the price their owners anticipated or higher, meaning only 3% of all business owners achieve their desired sale price.

NULLIFICATION AND THE WEAPONIZATION OF IMPEACHMENT Colleague Victor Davis Hanson. The discussion covers modern "nullification," where jurisdictions like sanctuary cities deliberately ignore federal immigration laws, creating a dangerous legal asymmetry. Hanson also argues that the impeachment process has been distorted into a political tool used to punish first-term presidents who lose congressional majorities, rather than for genuine high crimes. He contends that the dual impeachment of Donald Trump set a destructive precedent that effectively nullifies the electoral will of the citizenry. NUMBER 6

In this episode of Head, Heart, and Boots, Brandon and I sit down with Claire Carreras, a musician, comedian, fashion entrepreneur, and now co-owner of 1-Tom Plumber Austin to unpack one of the most unexpected and compelling career journeys we've ever featured. Claire opens up about a childhood marked by constant relocation across multiple countries, how creativity and performance became her anchor, and how those early experiences shaped the grit and resourcefulness she now brings to building service businesses. We explore the rise and collapse of her fashion brands, the financial devastation of COVID, and what it took to rebuild her life from scratch in a new country. Claire shares the mindset shifts that helped her scale restoration and plumbing operations, the leadership lessons she brought from stages and tour vans, and her refreshingly honest view on managing people, burnout, and generational differences inside a 24/7 business. If you're drawn to real entrepreneurial stories, the raw ones, with bruises, resilience, and reinvention; this conversation is worth every minute. Hope you enjoy. Chris Why You Should Listen... [00:05:15] How a turbulent childhood, constant relocation, and exposure to wildly different cultures forged Claire's resilience and leadership instincts [00:13:03] How acting, stand-up comedy, and 15 years of international touring built the confidence, grit, and communication skills she now uses to scale home-service companies [00:20:27] What three failed fashion businesses taught her about timing, financial risk, market collapse, and how to recover when everything falls apart [00:28:14] Why she jumped into One-Tom Plumber after COVID wiped out her income, and how she built a 5-truck operation in months by leaning into clarity, systems, and urgency [00:45:06] How Claire motivates teams through uncertainty, connects personally without lowering standards, and navigates generational differences around pressure and mental health Did you know...
