President Trump repeatedly promised that his mass deportation efforts would target “the worst of the worst” criminals, yet the government's own data reveals that immigrants with no criminal record are the largest group in US immigration detention today. How can the Trump administration justify its deployment of federal agents, and even the military, to US cities based on the factually disprovable fictions that American cities are crime-ridden “war zones” overrun with criminal “illegal aliens”? To answer that, one must study the long-established precedent in the USA of overpolicing poor communities of color that are painted as inherently violent, chaotic, and crime-ridden. In this episode of Rattling the Bars, host Mansa Musa speaks with TRNN reporters Stephen Janis and Taya Graham about what the history of policing in America can teach us about Trump's authoritarian deployment of law enforcement agencies today.For full show notes and transcript, click here.Credits:Producer / Videographer / Post-Production: Cameron GranadinoHelp us continue producing Rattling the Bars by following us and becoming a monthly sustainer.Sign up for our newsletterFollow us on BlueskyLike us on FacebookFollow us on TwitterDonate to support this podcast

Real leadership isn't about being perfect — it's about taking ownership when you fall short and leading through forgiveness, accountability, and humility. In Episode 107 of the JP Dinnell Podcast, JP and Lucas break down what true Extreme Ownership looks like when you've made mistakes, hurt people, or fallen off track. Leadership demands more than strength — it demands forgiveness: forgiving others, forgiving yourself, and giving your team the freedom to learn and grow. Drawing from Navy SEAL training, combat experiences, and real-world lessons from business and faith, JP shares how the most effective leaders build trust not by pretending to have all the answers, but by owning their failures and working relentlessly to make things right. This episode explores: Why excuses destroy leadership credibility How forgiveness restores broken trust in teams, families, and relationships What happens when you choose humility over ego Why leaders must admit mistakes publicly to build stronger teams How forgiveness doesn't make you weak — it makes you unstoppable Forgiveness isn't about letting people off the hook — it's about freeing yourself from bitterness so you can lead with purpose and clarity. As JP explains, the best leaders are not the ones who never fail; they're the ones who take responsibility, learn from it, and move forward stronger. Through this discussion, you'll hear how biblical principles connect to modern leadership: from Christ's model of forgiveness to practical lessons in humility and redemption that apply on the battlefield, in business, and at home. Forgiveness and leadership go hand-in-hand because leadership is a people business — and people make mistakes. If you've ever wrestled with guilt, pride, or resentment, this episode will challenge you to look inward and take ownership. True leadership begins the moment you stop blaming others and start leading yourself. Timestamps & Key Takeaways: 00:00 – Why leadership requires humility 05:15 – The danger of the victim mindset 10:42 – How to rebuild trust through forgiveness 18:20 – Why accountability builds stronger teams 26:45 – The freedom that comes from owning your failures 33:50 – Applying biblical forgiveness in leadership Get your free training from First In Nutrition: https://www.firstinnutrition.com/jppod More from JP Dinnell: https://www.jpdinnell.com/ Join the conversation on instagram JP Dinnell: http://instagram.com/jpdinnell/ Lucas Pinckard: https://www.instagram.com/lucaspinckard Bruiser Arms: https://www.instagram.com/bruiserarms Echelon Front: https://echelonfront.com/ Little Cattle Co: http://littlecattle.co On The Path Printing: https://www.instagram.com/onthepathprinting JP Dinnell is a former U.S. Navy SEAL and now a Leadership Instructor, Speaker and Strategic Advisor with Echelon Front, where he serves as Director of Experiential Leadership Training Programs.

In pickup artist culture, men see women's natural defenses as tests and shields. Pass these “shit tests” and break through her “bitch shields,” and you win her love and affection.  But women aren't sitting around scheming elaborate tests or plotting shields. They're responding to lived experiences, not imagined battle plans. That's why these pickup artist tricks, while they can work in the short-term, never result in lasting love and connection.  They're based on lies, drenched in sexual shame, and actively work against your goals of lasting connection.  The solution is much harder - it means reframing her defenses as your projections. It means taking ownership of how shame makes you react. And it's about seeing her defenses as invitations for patience, curiosity, and compassion. This path is much harder. But it's the only path towards real connection.  In today's show, you'll discover why pickup artist culture is consumed with shame, how to reframe her defenses as invitations, and how to choose a different, more effective response that's not based in your neediness.  Listen now. Show Highlights Include: How labeling a woman's action as “tests” or “shields” exposes your insecurity and fear (and how to conquer these feelings that deprive you of connection) (3:50) Why following pickup artist advice, while it might get you dates, will never forge a strong and healthy long-term relationship (5:31)  The "Psychoanalytic Lens” secret that allows you to strip away your neediness when she pulls back or acts distant (12:42)  How to build your emotional muscles and prevent her defensive parts from triggering you (13:15)  Why “seeing the shame on both sides” allows men and women to connect with and understand each other on a deeper level (19:14)  The “Battle Within” mindset shift you must make if you want a long and fulfilling relationship (20:33)  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?

Both DFW International Airport and Dallas Love Field were operating normally Wednesday morning, a day after both were impacted by staffing shortages stemming from the ongoing government shutdown. In other news, Gov. Greg Abbott is threatening to withhold funding for roads from Dallas and other Texas cities if they do not remove rainbow crosswalks. On Wednesday, Abbott said he directed the Texas Department of Transportation to ensure cities and counties erase “any and all political ideologies from our streets,” including symbols and flags; the victim in a fatal Tuesday shooting in Dallas was killed following an argument after she allegedly got upset that a woman did not thank her for holding open a door; and the Dallas Cowboys' reaction to former teammate Rico Dowdle saying they better buckle up for Sunday's game against the Panthers was met with a relaxed response. In Carolina's come-from-behind win over Miami, Dowdle rushed for a career-high 206 yards, earning him NFC Offensive Player of the Week honors. Learn more about your ad choices.

Success is supposed to feel good. But what if it also feels… lonely? What if your growth created distance from the people you love most?In this episode, I'll explain the neuroscience of relational disconnection after personal growth—why self-comparison, status shifts, and unspoken shame rewire the brain and fracture emotional safety.

Golfers—this podcast is a must-listen if you've been told to “get your lead shoulder down” or “point your shoulders at the ball.”This outdated advice might sound like good mechanics… but in reality? It's one of the most harmful concepts you can follow—and it's causing hip sway in your backswing.Mike Granato and Shaun Webb are pulling no punches in this episode of the Athletic Motion Golf Podcast. They're diving deep into one of the most widespread swing myths that's wrecking thousands of golf swings across the country. The worst part? It's still being taught—every single day.We break down the flawed logic behind the myth, how it confuses pressure and weight, why it leads to sway and instability, and what should be happening instead.This isn't just another rant—it's a data-backed, experience-driven takedown of bad instruction, and a roadmap to actually improving your swing.Hit play, and stop sabotaging your own game.

Summary Are your symptoms really coming from a “broken body”—or are they actually a brain habit? In this episode, Ali breaks down the science of neuroplastic symptoms (sometimes called TMS or mind-body symptoms) and explains why real, physical sensations like pain, fatigue, gut issues, and dizziness can persist even without structural damage. You'll learn how the brain's danger pathways work, why symptoms become a habit, and how fear and avoidance keep the cycle alive. Drawing on Alan Gordon's “false alarm” framework, Ali shares simple, practical ways to rewire your brain's response—so symptoms lose their power and your nervous system learns safety again. If you've been stuck in the endless cycle of symptoms, worry, and searching for answers, this episode will give you clarity, hope, and a roadmap for healing.   Takeaways Neuroplastic symptoms are real—but they're created by the brain's danger pathways, not by structural damage. Fear and attention fuel the cycle: every time you monitor or worry, the brain reinforces the symptom as “important.” Symptoms become a habit loop—just like a song stuck in your head, the brain gets good at producing them through repetition. Alan Gordon's false alarm analogy helps explain why symptoms are real but not dangerous—the alarm is sounding, but there's no fire. Healing is possible: by reducing fear, processing emotions, and re-engaging in life, you can rewire your brain and teach it safety.   Ali's Resources:  Calm the Chaos: Practical Tips and Tools for Stopping Anxiety in It's Tracks Course!

In Part 1 of Lisa's story, she looks back on her youth and the awkward search for answers about sex and sexuality as a now 59-year-old woman. Her parents spoke in vague, confusing terms and never provided real context, which she found bizarre. The explanations she did receive made her body's natural changes sound painful and frightening. While there was plenty of playground gossip, there was no real guidance from anyone who actually knew what they were talking about. Magazines like Cosmopolitan painted sex as a kind of theatrical performance, leaving Lisa with a jumble of misinformation that led to years of confusion, fear, and dishonesty.Tune in next week to hear Part 2 and how Lisa finally found truthful guidance to erase this old and tired narrative.

Send us a textIn this episode, Dr. Michael Neal takes us from the five-star rigor of Four Seasons and the magic-meets-operations world of Disney to a practical, modern blueprint for hiring. We get into how to redefine your hiring process, automate candidate assessment without losing the human touch, and stack your roster with true A-Team players—the ones who raise the bar for everyone else (and don't need a motivational poster to do it).Dr. Neal's Mic-Drop Quote: “If you don't define what great looks like before you post the job, you're gambling—and the house is turnover.”What You'll LearnHospitality-level hiring standards you can steal for any industry: clarity, consistency, and candidate experience.How to automate assessments (skills, values, and behavior) so managers spend time with the right finalists.The difference between nice teammates and true team players—and how to test for it in interviews.Why average performers quietly stall culture—and how A-Players multiply performance.The five must-haves in your selection process: success profile, structured interviews, work sample, reference triangulation, and a 90-day scorecard.Practical Takeaways (Managers: steal these)Write a Success Profile, not a Job Ad. Define outcomes (90-day and 12-month), core behaviors, and “non-negotiables” before you recruit.Automate early, human late. Use short skills screens + values checks first; invest real time with the top 10–15%.Use a Work Sample. A tiny project beats a thousand opinions.Team Fit ≠ Same As Me. Fit means complementary strengths and shared standards, not clone wars.Reference Triangulation. 2 past managers + 1 peer. Ask about outcomes and rehireability.90-Day Scorecard. Three to five measurable outcomes, reviewed at days 30/60/90. No guesswork.Protect the Standard. A slow hire is a headache; a bad hire is a culture tax.Sample Interview Prompts (save these)“Tell me about a time you elevated a teammate's performance without positional authority.”“Walk me through the first 30 days you'd plan in this role—what would you measure and why?”“Describe a miss you owned publicly. What changed in your process afterward?”“Give us a work sample: how would you approach [real task] in 48 hours?

Ever feel like your creative business has you constantly putting out fires instead of making meaningful progress? You're not alone. The freedom we crave as content creators often leads to business chaos when we "wing it" without structure.In this episode, I unpack why scattered approaches fail entrepreneurs and how implementing a strategic 90-day plan transforms both your business results and your quality of life. The problem isn't your creativity or work ethic—it's the lack of focused direction. When you jump from tactic to tactic without measuring impact, you burn valuable energy without gaining traction.A 90-day plan works because it provides the perfect balance between focus and flexibility. This timeline naturally aligns with business quarters while allowing you to adapt to your audience's seasonal needs. You'll experience quick wins that build momentum instead of chasing every shiny object or trend that comes along. The structure helps you prioritize what truly matters by focusing on just 1-3 core goals, creating measurable checkpoints that keep you accountable, and giving you the ability to adjust strategies without abandoning your vision.Through practical examples like growing your email list through podcast appearances and summit participation, I demonstrate how to break big goals into manageable projects and specific tasks. The result? Predictable revenue, sustainable content creation, and a positive mindset where you run your business instead of letting it run you.Ready to transform your business approach? Join my 90-Day Plan Program to get the exact system we implement at our annual Insiders Retreat. Stop the overwhelm and start seeing the progress your hard work deserves. Your future self will thank you for the clarity and momentum you're about to create.Support the show

Healthcare AI isn't a tech problem—it's a mirror reflecting how our health system already fails. Uncomfortable truths from Datapalooza 2025. Summary We're asking the wrong questions about AI in healthcare. Instead of debating whether it's good or bad, we need to examine the system-eating-its-tail contradictions we've created: locking away vital data so AI learns from everything except what matters most, demanding transparency from inherently secretive companies, and fearing tools could make us lazy instead of more capable. Privacy teams protect data, tech companies build tools, regulators write rules—everyone's doing their part, but no one steps back to see the whole dysfunctional picture. AI in healthcare isn't a technology problem; it's a mirror reflecting how our health system already falls short with privacy rules that hinder progress, design processes that exclude patients, and institutions that fear transparency more than mediocrity. The real question is whether we're brave enough to fix these underlying problems that AI makes impossible to ignore. Click here to view the printable newsletter with images.

The Iron Woman meant well, but it doesn't quite meet your actual needs. I spent September 5th at Academy Health's 2025 Datapalooza conference about AI in healthcare, 'Innovation Unfiltered: Evidence, Value, and the Real-World Journey of Transforming Health Care. a is Academy Health's strongest conference for people with lived experience. I'm grateful to Academy Health for providing me with a press pass, which enabled me to attend the conference. I talked to attendees about how they use AI in their work and what keeps them up at night about AI. I recorded some of those conversations and the panels I attended. When I listened to the raw footage, I heard terrible recordings filled with crowd noise and loud table chatter, like dirty water spraying out of a firehose. Aghast, I thought, what is the story here? I was stumped. How can I make sense of this? I had to deliver something. So, here's how I use AI in my work as a podcaster/vlogger.

Some weeks feel like everything's falling apart. But what if that's the setup for God to move?Peter's story in Acts 12 reminds us — the same God who broke chains then is still breaking them now.

In Episode 268 of the Pool Nation Podcast, Edgar, Zac, and Spider sit down with Alicia Stephens and Ted Lawrence from BioLab to uncover what really goes into developing the pool products we all use. From the first spark of an idea to the science labs, testing pools, and final packaging, you'll hear how innovation happens in the world of pool chemistry. Discover how products like phosphate removers, enzymes, and multi-purpose chlorine tabs are developed, tested, and approved. Ted and Alicia pull back the curtain on research & development, product testing, AI-powered education tools, and even wild stories from their labs (yes — human hair testing and “bather waste” simulations are real). The team also talks about AI's growing role in education and production at BioLab, industry collaboration, and the importance of elevating the pool industry through innovation and training. Perfect for service pros, retailers, and manufacturers who want to understand how products are made and why quality matters.

The Story – Act 1: God Creates The Bible isn't a random collection of verses, it's one big story that begins with God creating. This message invites us to slow down and see Genesis 1–2 not as a scientific manual, but as a masterpiece revealing the who and why behind creation. God designs with purpose, calls his world good, and places people in relationship with himself and one another. Act 1: God Creates reminds us that everything begins with a Creator who is worthy of our trust and worship. We're called to submit to the Creator, enjoy his creation, and join him in restoring it – living today in ways that reflect his original design and point toward his ultimate rest.The Bible isn't a random collection of verses, it's one big story that begins with God creating.

The real reason your hard work isn't paying off has nothing to do with your actions. It has everything to do with what you believe. This week, Unyime shares two powerful lessons in authenticity from her recent keynote speaking experience. You'll learn why true results don't come from striving harder, but from aligning your actions with deeper beliefs—and how obedience, identity, and trust in God shape the outcomes you desire.If you've ever wondered why your efforts still leave you stuck, this conversation invites you to stop measuring yourself by what you do and start examining what you believe. Tune in to uncover the real shift that changes everything.Key takeaways from this episode:Your beliefs shape your results. If the beliefs underlying your actions are misaligned, no amount of doing will produce lasting transformation.Authenticity is forged in obedience. True authenticity isn't about oversharing or performance. It's about aligning with God's direction and trusting the process, even when it stretches you.Discomfort is an invitation, not a stop sign. Panic, overwhelm, or resistance are not indicators to quit. They are often signals that your identity and capacity are being stretched.Copying someone else's blueprint robs you of your authority and identity. You will go faster when the way you work matches your identity. Your growth deepens when you honor your wiring and God's unique way of leading you.Faith is always working. Your results reflect your faith Loved this episode? Send us a text message.If you want more of what you heard in this episode, you'll love working with me.

For executive chef Marjorie Meek-Bradley, the draw of The View wasn't the novelty of the rotating restaurant or the history behind the space. It was the new owners — Union Square Hospitality Group. The restaurant group reopened the historic restaurant earlier this year. Before her role at The View, Meek-Bradley spent time at restaurants in Northern California, New York City, and D.C., including stints at Bouchon, Per Se, and with STARR Restaurants at St. Anselm and Pastis. In an interview with guest host Gloria Dawson, Meek-Bradley describes how she created a menu that blends nostalgia, sustainability, and her experiences to create straightforward, delicious, and deceptively simple dishes.

Jennifer Hobbs grew up in Chattanooga.  Shortly after graduating from UTC with a degree in secondary education, she traveled out west to work as a whitewater guide on the Arkansas River in Colorado.  One season turned into a decade where she spent time riding the rivers, hiking the mountains, biking the trails, climbing the rocks, and living the dream.  After having her son in 2000, she knew it was time to move back home and reconnect with family.  Life soon got busy with kids and work and going back to school and all the things.  Yoga came into her life when Jessica Jollie and Sara Mingus opened North Shore Yoga in 2008.  Over the next 17 years or so, her practice evolved from passive observer to passionate instructor and practioner. The yogic teachings have transformed her modus operandi in all areas of her life and serve as a constant sounding board.  The asanas have taught me appreciation, confidence, patience, and humility.  The prana and breath work may have possibly saved a life or two as it taught me composure, self restrain, discipline, and the importance of going inward to find her true self.  She passionate about sharing this beautiful teachings with others, and even more passionate about learning from instrumental yoga teachers.  When not practicing or leading yoga, I can be found in my 8th grade ELA classroom at Chattanooga Valley Middle School, exploring the great outdoors, collecting cool rocks, playing in my garden, hanging with my family, and forever crafting.Jennifer teaches yoga at Yoga Landing in Chattanooga, TN and offers pop-up classes at Rising Fawn Gardens.

Text us a pool question!This week's episode is a little bit of everything — industry insight, real talk, and a peek behind the curtain of what's happening with the people who keep this trade moving forward.We're starting with something close to home: our Mentor Awards. You'll hear from a few of the folks whose names carry serious weight in this industry — the people who have shaped, guided, and inspired so many pool pros. These conversations aren't scripted or polished for press releases; they're raw and real, with lessons tucked in for anyone who cares about doing better in this business. On top of that, we're giving a shout-out to the sponsors who stepped up to make the Mentor Awards possible. Without their support, we wouldn't be able to shine a spotlight on the people who keep raising the bar for everyone.Then, we pivot into industry news that's been making headlines. First up: the Ashli Babbitt wrongful death lawsuit. It's a story that stretches far beyond the pool world but has been playing out in the background of American life for years. The recent settlement tells us a lot about how the courts and the government are handling one of the most polarizing events in recent history. We break it down without the noise — just what happened, what it means, and why it's worth paying attention.Next, we look at Leslie's and their 1-for-20 reverse stock split. On the surface, it sounds like a bold move. In reality, it's a survival tactic — one designed to keep their stock listed and their brand in play on Wall Street. But what does that mean for pool pros out here grinding every day? That's where the conversation gets interesting. We talk about what this move signals about Leslie's future, how it might shape retail strategies, and what independents should be watching for as the industry landscape shifts.And of course, we couldn't have a “Sarah the Pool Girl” episode without Sarah herself. She may be officially on maternity leave, but if you know Sarah, you know she's not one to just sit still. Between diaper duty and pool talk, she's welding turquoise jewelry, sewing quillows, and basically proving that maternity leave doesn't mean hitting pause on creativity. You'll get her voice, her humor, and her trademark grit — even if she's supposed to be “resting.”This one's part mentorship, part business, part breaking news, and part life update — the kind of mix that makes the Talking Pools Podcast what it is. Whether you're out on your route, stuck in traffic, or just winding down after a long day, you'll find something here that sticks. Support the showThank you so much for listening!
