Hines was the Senior Vice President of Global Marketing and Communications as Xbox-owned Bethesda, and in a recent interview has questioned the value Game Pass provides to developers. He joins former PlayStation exec Shawn Layden, who has come out against gaming subscription services in general. Another former Microsoft VP, Shannon Loftis, backed up Hines' comments, adding that games launched on Game Pass need to have post-release monetization plans to make up for lost retail revenue.

President Donald Trump will sign an executive order Friday adding ‘Department of War' as the secondary title of the Defense Department, two White House officials told NBC News. The order will authorize Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth to use secondary titles like ‘secretary of war' and ‘Department of War' in official correspondence and public communications and during formal ceremonies, according to a White House preview of the order. Sounds to me like someone is preparing for war. Wanna guess who?“And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.” Matthew 24:6 (KJB)On this episode of the Prophecy News Podcast, as President Trump continues to ‘work his way to Heaven' by promoting peace, he ironically is putting the United States closer and closer to a war footing. To that end, the Department of Defense starting on Friday will be referred to as the Department of War. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth will now be called the Secretary of War. Seeing his chances for a Nobel Prize by bringing the Russia-Ukraine war to an end evaporating like frost in Florida, Trump is going on the offensive in a big way, a huge way, a big, beautiful way. This of course lines up perfectly with the war that Russia and China are preparing to start, according to NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte. What roles does Palantir play in all this? That's the subject of today's Prophecy News Podcast!

If you think mental health is just about therapy and prescriptions, it's so much more than that. He's a Columbia-trained psychiatrist, a working farmer, and one of the leading voices in nutritional psychiatry-using his combined expertise to redefine what it means to truly feed the brain. We dive into the kind of science that stops you mid-scroll. Like how countries that eat more seafood have dramatically lower rates of bipolar disorder. Or how your brain has its own waste-removal system-discovered only in 2014-that works while you sleep. Miss it, and you're not just tired… you're letting toxins build up in your brain. So why don't psychiatrists ask patients what they eat? Because most don't realize some of the most powerful “mood chemicals” come from your dinner plate-and that inflammation in your body can quietly rewrite your emotions. This isn't about ditching medication or surviving on kale smoothies. It's about stacking the deck in your brain's favor-through food, movement, sleep, and simple daily choices that build mental fitness. Dr. Ramsey's approach will make you see your brain in a whole new light… and wonder what else you've been missing. If you're ready to connect the dots between your plate, your habits, and your mind, hit play. Your brain's been waiting for this. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The episode also touched on the potential of AI and energy fields in future medical practices.

Ever feel like you're spinning your wheels in business, trying everything but seeing little return? The culprit might not be your strategy—it could be a lack of consistency. Contrary to popular belief, business success rarely comes from dramatic leaps or occasional bursts of activity. The real magic happens through small, consistent actions that gradually compound into significant results. In this episode, I break down why consistency creates confidence and how this powerful connection can transform your business outcomes.I share my personal journey with consistent email marketing—how what once took hours now takes just 10 minutes weekly, while delivering stronger audience relationships and steady sales. This illustrates a crucial truth: confidence isn't something you're born with or that magically appears before taking action. Rather, it's earned through the evidence you build by consistently showing up. Every time you follow through on a commitment to your audience or yourself, you strengthen your self-trust and business foundation.Think about fitness: would you rather exercise for 20 minutes three times weekly or endure a grueling three-hour workout every two months? The same principle applies to your business. Regular, manageable actions create sustainable momentum without the burnout cycle of intense pushes followed by inaction. Plus, these consistent efforts compound over time, multiplying their impact—but only if you're tracking the right metrics to see what's actually driving sales.Ready to build consistency into your business? Join our Insiders membership where "Consistency is Queen" is our focus this month. As a podcast listener, you'll receive $20 off monthly, gaining access to three training topics monthly plus group coaching calls to provide the accountability and support you need to turn small, consistent actions into remarkable business results.Support the show

Erik Hirsch breaks down the latest consumer data and remarks on the bifurcation in consumer health between higher and lower income consumers. He is also concerned by the lack of jobs for recent college grads – and he thinks we could be seeing the ripple effects for these “consumers of the future” for decades to come. He sees opportunities within M&A and the infrastructure sector.

Jesus is at the Pharisees house where he tells them a parable about the seats of honor at a wedding banquet. Lars Olson and Dr. Chris Croghan teaches us how nearly everyone will hear Jesus' words as the law in order to avoid being implicated as a sinner. This is not a prescription on etiquette. It's a depiction of what's going on in your heart. CARE OF SOULS - ADDICTIONIn Care of Souls, a special mini-series podcast from Luther House of Study, Lutheran pastors and theologians come together to explore the deeply personal and pastoral task of preaching to and caring for those struggling with life's challenging situations: addiction, death, family disharmony, and more. Rooted in the theology of the cross and the Lutheran tradition of radical grace, this series offers both theological depth and practical guidance for pastors, church workers, and lay leaders.With conversations, real-life stories, and reflections from the front lines of ministry, Care of Souls equips listeners to enter the broken places of addiction not with easy answers, but with the crucified and risen Christ.Because in the end, it's not about fixing people—it's about preaching the Gospel.Listen to Care of Souls wherever you listen to podcasts or on the Luther House website: Care of Souls - AddictionSING TO THE LORD Martin Luther said, "Next to the word of God, the art of music is the greatest treasure in the world." To understand the importance of hymnody in the Lutheran church, Lars Olson and Mason Van Essen sit down with Zachary Brockhoff to discuss the lectionary's hymns, their meaning and history, and how the music preaches the Gospel.

If you need to hire 1 person, hire a team of people, or transform your business through Talent or Technical Services, Insight Global's team of 30,000 people around the world have the hustle and grit to deliver. www.InsightGlobal.com/LearningLeader My guest: Sam Lessin is a Partner at Slow Ventures, with prior experience as Vice President of Product Management at Facebook and CEO of Drop.io. His career highlights include serving as a key executive at Facebook, leading product management efforts, and successfully co-founding Fin. His current role at Slow Ventures involves investing in innovative startups across various sectors, showcasing his expertise in entrepreneurship and venture capital. Notes: Key Learnings The 4:30 AM Advantage – Sam's father would be at his desk by 4:30 AM every day, saying, "It's easy to look smart if you have a several-hour head start on everyone else." Early work creates compounding advantages over time. Either Be Early or Be Late, Don't Be On Time – Father's wisdom about timing and seasons. Start your career super early to get ahead, or strategically wait and come in later. Timing matters more than perfect preparation. Joy as the Ultimate Competitive Advantage – "I just don't think that in the long run, angry people win." Look for joyful people in hiring and partnerships because joy is sustainable while anger burns out. Type Two Fun Builds Resilience – Type 1 fun is enjoyable while doing it (rollercoaster). Type 2 fun "completely sucks while you're doing it, but there's joy on the other side" (climbing mountains, marathons). Entrepreneurs need Type 2 fun experiences. Practice Voluntary Hardship – Sam ran a sub-3-hour marathon and got a pilot's license not for love of activities, but for "practice moments" of perseverance. Creates evidence that you can handle business adversity. Right Person, Right Opportunity, Right Time – Don't ask "is this a great person?" Ask, "Is it the right person at the right moment?" Success requires all three elements to align, not just talent. Write Publicly for Intellectual Receipts – "If you can't write the check, write me the thesis and timestamp it." Writing creates accountability, proves thinking ability, and builds reputation over time. Nobody Knows What They're Doing – Working at Bain taught Sam that even prestigious companies "have no idea what you're doing." This is liberating—you can figure it out too. Big Things Take Time (Slow Ventures Philosophy) – Most success isn't quick wins. Venmo took "so many turns of the crank." Be patient finding the right wind, then sail fast when you catch it. Embrace Being Wrong Most of the Time – Seed investing means "you're mostly wrong, you mostly lose money." Success comes from being very right occasionally, not being right consistently. The Solana 2000x Return Story – Put in $400K, returned 2000x to LPs. Success came from the intersection of thesis (looking for "Ethereum killer") and relationships (following Raj Gokal through multiple startups). Use Humor and Authenticity as Filters – Slow Ventures website looks like a law firm in tuxedos "on purpose." If you don't think it's funny, "you're not who we want to invest in." Writing Pushes Away Wrong People – "I really like to be not liked by the people I don't want to work with." Authentic writing attracts the right people and repels the wrong ones. Manufacturing Hardship for Privileged Kids – "Tiger Dad" sports culture might be a misguided attempt to create necessary adversity for wealthy children who lack natural hardships. I loved the throughline of this whole conversation being about his dad, working exceptionally hard, and having joy and excitement for the journey. Maybe it was the near-death experiences that his dad had that led to that mindset. Regardless, it's something we can all learn from. We want to be around optimistic people who have joy and love for what they're doing… Nobody knows what they're doing. We're all figuring it out as we go. You'll never learn unless you go out and do the thing. Figure it out as you go. Just get started. And iterate. Learn. Try again. And keep going. Advice from Sam – Write publicly. You don't know what you think until you get your thoughts out of your head onto the page. And if you publish them, you have a record of the journey. Also, you might attract someone to work with. That is how Jack Raines (guest on episode #539) caught Sam's attention, and now they work together. Useful Quotes: "It's easy to look smart if you have a several-hour head start on everyone else." "I just don't think that in the long run, angry people win." "Either be early or be late, don't be on time." "The right question is, is it the right person at the right moment?" "Writing is thinking. If you can't write, you can't think." "I feel like a tenured professor of capitalism—responsible to make a lot of money over the long term by being very right every once in a while with permission to be wrong all the time." "One of the most insulting things you can call someone is a market participant." "The beauty of the internet is so big. The right people find you." "Big things take time." "Life's short. Is this really what you're spending your time on?" Apply to be part of my next Learning Leader Circle.
