HEADLINE: Political Crises Deepen in Brazil and Venezuela Amidst US Pressure GUEST AND TITLE: Alejandro Peña Esclusa, Venezuelan writer and thinker; Ernesto Araújo, former Foreign Minister of the Republic of Brazil SUMMARY: Ernesto Araújo discusses former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro's conviction for an alleged assassination plot, calling it a "show trial" despite a dissenting judge's opinion.

Jen Psaki looks back at past examples of political violence in the United States and how political leaders addressed the country with calls for unity and cooler heads, with examples from John Boehner to Utah Governor Spender Cox, who spoke this morning at a press conference announcing that the suspect in the shooting of Charlie Kirk is in custody. Senator Tina Smith discusses the dire state of politics in the U.S.While the suspect in the Kirk shooting is in custody, Kash Patel's poor performance leading the FBI did not go unnoticed. Andrew Weissmann joins to explain how the FBI is supposed to work in normal times under normal leadership.Donald Trump has named Memphis as the next target of his military policing plan. Tennessee State Rep. Justin J. Pearson expresses his vehement opposition to what Trump intends to do.NATO suffered significant alarm when Russia sent drones into Poland in what is widely seen as a test of NATO readiness. Donald Trump seemed more inclined to excuse Vladimir Putin than to rally with allies, Jen Psaki explains.And a CDC panel assembled by Trump HHS secretary and vaccine skeptic Robert F. Kennedy will decide whether they endorse the new booster, which will determine whether residents of as many as 16 states are able to access the vaccine this season. 

Crises unfold around us daily: gun violence, devastating foreign wars and U.S. democratic norms shattering. And still, we cook dinner and go to work. For those directly affected, the harms are inescapable. But for others, the contrast between catastrophic headlines and ordinary routines creates a dizzying dissonance: life moving as normal, against a backdrop of unsettling change. We'll talk about this strange tension and what it does to us, and we'll hear how you are navigating it. Guests: Kate Woodsome, journalist and founder, Invisible Threads (katewoodsome.substack.com), a media and leadership lab exploring the link between mental health and democracy Adrienne Matei, writer, The Guardian US; her recent piece is "Systems are crumbling – but daily life continues. The dissonance is real" Gisela Salim-Peyer, associate editor, The Atlantic; her recent piece is "Authoritarianism Feels Surprisingly Normal – Until It Doesn't" Learn more about your ad choices.

Steve Yates Pentagon's National Defense Strategy Amidst Global Crises Steve Yates discusses the Pentagon's new National Defense Strategy (NDS), which prioritizes China as the "pacing challenge" over climate change. The "Fortress America" concept of homeland defense is debated against the need for alliances and extended deterrence. Events like Russian drones in Poland underscore the loss of US initiative and the urgency of adaptive defense strategies. 1910 VALDEZ ALASKA

Ever had a discovery call or free consultation that felt so right — only to be met with complete and utter silence afterward? No reply. No “thanks, but no thanks.” Just… crickets. And if your ADHD brain is anything like mine, that silence turns the situation into a 3D crime scene you just have to solve.ABOUT THE HOSTDiann Wingert (she/her) is a former psychotherapist turned ADHD entrepreneur coach and business strategist, as well as the insightful host of ADHD-ish. With both lived experience and deep professional expertise in ADHD, Diann guides neurodivergent entrepreneurs toward greater self-awareness, creativity, and sustainable success— with her signature blend of no-nonsense advice, compassionate understanding, and a dash of sass.WHAT TO LISTEN FOR:Ghosting = Brain Spiral Town.Most of us with ADHD are natural connectors, really tuned in to people's emotions and needs (sometimes to a fault!). So when a prospect suddenly ghosts, our brain doesn't just let it go. We cycle through: Did I misread everything? Did I say something wrong? Should I follow up? The open mental tabs never close!Why Does It Hit So Hard? It's about more than lost potential business — it chips away at our confidence and identity. Thanks, rejection sensitivity! Our brains crave closure, and ghosting feels like an unsolvable mystery that burns a hole in our mental inbox.3 Practical Ways to Prevent & Recover:1.Set Clear Expectations on the Call:Instead of ending with vague “I'll send info and we'll go from there,” clearly address what comes next. Give the prospect space to say if they need to think or consult someone else. Your brain will thank you later.2.Summary Follow-Up Email:After the call, send a recap: “Here's what I heard you need, and how I'd help.” It's not just professionalism — it helps you remember details if the anxiety spiral hits.3.One Professional Follow-Up (Then Let Go):Send a single, polite check-in. Example:“Hi X, just following up on the proposal. Totally understand if timing isn't right. Let me know if you have questions!”Then, mentally… close that tab.

Conversation on the Positive Aging Community platform, host Steve Gurney sat down with George Jerjian, an author, speaker, and thought leader specializing in life's transitions. Jerjian, whose latest book is Odyssey of an Elder, shared his personal journey from a life-altering health scare to embracing retirement as a profound opportunity for growth. The discussion delved into themes of identity, purpose, gratitude, and adventure, offering valuable lessons for anyone approaching or navigating later life stages.A Wake-Up Call: From Diagnosis to DiscoveryJerjian's transformative path began in 2007 when he was diagnosed with a bone tumor and given just six months to live. Contrary to expectations, the experience didn't fill him with fear of death itself but rather concern for his teenage daughters. Miraculously, the tumor proved non-cancerous, but the brush with mortality reshaped his priorities. "Time is the most important thing," Jerjian emphasized, prompting him to semi-retire after a successful career.However, after 18 months of leisure, boredom and resentment set in. In 2016, seeking clarity, Jerjian embarked on a 30-day silent retreat inspired by Ignatian spiritual exercises—a rigorous program of introspection, often drawing from Catholic and Buddhist traditions. Isolated from external distractions like news, TV, or books, he conducted a deep "audit" of his life, reflecting on past homes and experiences. This revealed a key insight: "None of the good things could have happened without the preceding bad things." Crises, he realized, are turning points rather than endpoints.This epiphany led to his first book, Spirit of Gratitude: Crises are Opportunities, where he profiled 12 stories illustrating how challenges foster growth. Jerjian challenged the cultural view of retirement as a "problem," arguing it's a fork in the road where one's work-tied identity must evolve. He also highlighted how physical spaces, like homes, can anchor identity, urging listeners to declutter—both materially and emotionally—to make room for new beginnings.The DARE Method: A Framework for ReinventionCentral to Jerjian's philosophy is his DARE method, an acronym standing for Discover, Assimilate, Rewire, and Expand. He described it as a courageous approach to unretiring and crafting a fulfilling next chapter:Discover: Understand retirement's history and essence—it's not just financial planning but life planning. Jerjian referenced ancient thinkers like Cicero, who viewed old age as life's "crown," countering modern society's dismissal of elders as obsolete.Assimilate: Absorb new knowledge about the mind, particularly the subconscious. Willpower alone fails; the subconscious often sabotages goals. Jerjian stressed that we are not our thoughts but observers of them, advocating for releasing unhelpful ones.Rewire: Rewrite limiting stories from childhood, family, or society. By "recording over" old narratives, individuals can foster positive change.Expand: Counterintuitively, retirement should involve growth, not contraction. Gratitude plays a scientific role here, connecting thinking and thanking to open doors for more abundance. Jerjian advocated shifting from consumerism's dissatisfaction to a service-oriented mindset, inspired by Samurai ethos.Jerjian ties this to broader societal benefits, noting that serving others alleviates personal troubles and infuses life with nobility.

O presidente, Emmanuel Macron, não se dá por vencido e vai apresentar um novo primeiro-ministro, o quarto em dois anos.

Book Title: Wild Ride: A Short History of the Opening and Closing of the Chinese Economy Author: Anne Stevenson Yang Headline: Central Government Seeks Control Amid Economic Booms and Crises After the economy grew "out of control" in the 1980s, the central government, fearing a Soviet-style breakup, implemented "golden projects" for control over customs, taxes, and information. Following the 1998 Asian Financial Crisis, China recapitalized its banks by creating four asset management companies to buy bad assets, effectively injecting massive cash into the economy. This unleashed an explosion of wealth, shifting the Chinese people's aspirations toward getting rich. 1958

On this Ropes & Gray podcast, Nitish Upadhyaya, director of behavioral insights at R&G Insights Lab, is joined by partners from Ropes & Gray's global crisis management & investigations practice—Jim Dowden, Laura Hoey, Josh Levy, Amanda Raad, Ryan Rohlfsen, Robert Silvers and Sarah Walters—to unpack the realities of handling complex, high-stakes crises in an era of global uncertainty. Drawing on decades of experience, the team explores why successful crisis management demands more than just legal maneuvering—it requires practical strategies, an understanding of human behavior, and a strong organizational culture. Listeners will gain actionable insights into every stage of a crisis: planning ahead, responding under pressure, managing business continuity, and emerging stronger on the other side. The conversation covers critical topics such as the importance of having a robust crisis plan, the role of organizational culture and communication, the pitfalls to avoid, and how to turn challenging moments into opportunities for long-term resilience.

Why do we fear uncertainty—and what can statistics teach us about living with it? Nicolai Tangen speaks with Sir David Spiegelhalter, one of the world's leading statisticians and expert communicator of risk, to explore how we navigate an unpredictable world. From the psychology of uncertainty to lessons from COVID-19, climate change, and even weather forecasts, Spiegelhalter unpacks why numbers are never just "cold, hard facts" and how we can use data more wisely in a world full of unknowns. They explore why trust depends on admitting uncertainty, and what it means to build resilience—both as individuals and societies. Engaging, insightful, and sometimes deeply personal, this conversation blends statistics with human experience to explore how we can make sense of risk and uncertainty in an unpredictable world.In Good Company is hosted by Nicolai Tangen, CEO of Norges Bank Investment Management.

The past few years have been a challenging time for schools in Australia and around the world. Schools have adapted to the impacts of COVID-19; some have also dealt with natural disasters like floods and bushfires. For school principals – no matter their level of experience – new research shows leading during crises like these has taught them many lessons and led to a transformation of perspectives. In this episode of The Research Files we're joined by Michelle Striepe from Edith Cowan University. She's the lead author of a new paper titled ‘Lessons from Australasian principals' experiences with crises: adapting, learning and transforming'. Her research was carried out with colleagues Christine Cunningham, Mohini Devi, David Gurr, Fiona Longmuir, Sylvia Robertson, Adam Taylor and Pauline Thompson, and in our conversation today, Michelle takes us through their findings and, of course, some important implications for school leaders.

Mid-life crises have a bad rap.

In this episode, I examine Cracker Barrel's rebrand disaster that dominated social media and the news last week. The company traded its nostalgic, country-store feel and iconic “Old Timer” logo for a modernized version that customers called bland, sterile, and soulless. The backlash was immediate and relentless: negative headlines, viral videos, and $143 million in lost market value. At first, Cracker Barrel dismissed critics as a “vocal minority” and insisted most people loved the changes. But late yesterday, they reversed course, scrapping the new logo and promising to bring back the Old Timer after finally acknowledging their customers' voices.I break down how Cracker Barrel mishandled its crisis, why their reversal is only a first step, and what lessons any business can learn about protecting its brand identity, listening early, and turning customer feedback into meaningful action.Timestamps: 00:00 Introduction and update on why this episode shifted focus01:10 Cracker Barrel's rebrand rollout and why customers felt betrayed 02:18 What effective crisis management should look like — listen, admit, connect, act, communicate 03:10 The costly fallout: stock down $143 million and daily negative headlines 03:40 How Cracker Barrel dismissed loyal customers as a “vocal minority” 04:08 Why the Old Timer logo mattered to the brand's identity and culture 05:22 Lessons from Coca-Cola's New Coke disaster and recovery 06:15 Takeaway #1: Listen early and acknowledge problems before backlash snowballs 06:45 Takeaway #2: Protect the distinctive qualities that make your brand irreplaceable 07:20 Takeaway #3: Turn feedback into action and communicate changes publicly 07:43 Why having a PR crisis plan in place is essential — insights from Pat Ford (episode 65) 09:07 How our PR firm helps companies build visibility, credibility, and growth strategiesKey Takeaways:Listen early and admit problems quickly. Waiting to acknowledge a crisis makes the damage worse. Cracker Barrel didn't publicly recognize customer frustration until millions in value were already lost. Early acknowledgment can stop the hemorrhaging before it escalates.Protect what makes your brand unique. Cracker Barrel's country-store aesthetic, rocking chairs, and Old Timer logo weren't just decorations, they were the emotional anchors of the brand. Diluting what sets you apart erodes loyalty and gives customers less reason to stay.Turn customer feedback into visible action. Bringing back the Old Timer logo was a good first step, but only because it showed loyal voices had an impact. Publicly turning feedback into change restores credibility and proves customer relationships matter.Have a crisis plan in place before you need it. Crises unfold in real time under high stress. As Pat Ford emphasized in episode 65, knowing who leads communications, how decisions flow, and what steps to take is the only way to manage effectively in a PR crisis that often feels like the “fog of war.”Rate, Review, & Follow on Apple Podcasts & SpotifyPlease consider rating and reviewing my show!

Matthew Ford, Associate Professor at Swedish Defence University and author of “War in the Smartphone Age: Conflict, Connectivity, and the Crises at Our Fingertips,” joins Lawfare's Justin Sherman to discuss the role of smartphones and related technologies in war, how social media contributes to a collapse of context in the war content we see online, and how smartphones and other devices are reshaping open-source intelligence (OSINT) and open-source investigations (OSINV) vis-a-vis conflicts and violence from Syria to Ethiopia to Ukraine. They also discuss the tech stack in war, how the military “kill chain” is evolving with ever-greater digital connectivity, the current state and future of “participatory warfare,” and how we can become better consumers—and sharers—of war-related content online.To receive ad-free podcasts, become a Lawfare Material Supporter at www.patreon.com/lawfare.

What Plato Can Teach Us About the Crises of the 21st Century — with Professor Angie HobbsIn this special episode of Explaining History, I'm joined by Professor Angie Hobbs to discuss her new book Why Plato Matters Now. Together we explore Plato's life and thought, and the urgent relevance of his ideas in today's world. From the dangers of oligarchy and the corruption of language, to the decline of truth, the rise of the demagogue, and the path to tyranny, we trace Plato's insights into politics, war, and human nature. We also consider Plato's view of conflict and how, even amidst division, he believed our better selves could prevail. This is a conversation about philosophy as a living guide to confronting the crises of the 21st century.Newsflash: You can find everything Explaining History on Substack, join free hereHelp the podcast to continue bringing you history each weekIf you enjoy the Explaining History podcast and its many years of content and would like to help the show continue, please consider supporting it in the following ways:If you want to go ad-free, you can take out a membership hereOrYou can support the podcast via Patreon hereOr you can just say some nice things about it here Hosted on Acast.

The Federal Reserve helps support financial system resilience by acting as the lender of last resort, providing liquidity to institutions in exchange for high quality collateral. The usage of its 13(3) emergency authority during the 2023 regional banking crisis suggests the Fed may use these powers more frequently in today's financial system. The rising importance of non-bank institutions has also complicated the Fed's aim to strike an optimal balance between efficacy and the minimization of moral hazard. In this episode, we talk with Kate Judge, Professor of Law at Columbia Law School, about the Fed's role as lender of last resort, evaluating liquidity needs versus insolvency, and whether existing facilities can mitigate the next financial crisis.

Why Trump is now stacking the Federal Reserve bank's ranks of 7 Governors and threatening Fed chair Powell to force lower Fed interest rates. Why rates will start lowering in September. Why US monetary policy has been broken since 2008 due to changes in 21st century capitalism. The second half of the show discusses Texas and California's pissing match to further gerrymander the US House of Representatives which is already 90% non-competitive. The show discusses why the latest bout of gerrymandering is only part of a bigger picture of decline of US democratic institutions and practices since 2000.  Concluding the show, what are the main takeaways of Trump's meetings last week with Putin in Alaska and with European leaders and Zelensky in Washington last Monday?

“And he gathered up all the food of these seven years which occurred in the land of Egypt and put the food in the cities. He put in every city the food from the fields around it.” - Genesis 41:48Joseph's story isn't just dramatic—it's a powerful example of godly wisdom in uncertain times. His preparation during years of abundance helped an entire nation weather a famine. Today, Mark Biller joins us to explore what Joseph's legacy teaches us about planning ahead.Mark Biller is Executive Editor and Senior Portfolio Manager at Sound Mind Investing, an underwriter of Faith & Finance. Learning from Joseph's ExampleJoseph's story in the book of Genesis is one of the most dramatic and inspiring accounts in all of Scripture. From his rise and fall—from favored son to slave, from prisoner to ruler of Egypt—Joseph's journey demonstrates God's providence at every turn. His famous words to his brothers in Genesis 50:20 capture the theme: “You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good.”But Joseph's story is also a powerful lesson in financial stewardship. His foresight during years of abundance prepared Egypt—and surrounding nations—to survive years of famine. This biblical principle remains as relevant today as it was thousands of years ago.In Genesis 41, Joseph interprets Pharaoh's dreams, warning that seven years of abundance will be followed by seven years of famine. Pharaoh puts Joseph in charge of preparations, and Joseph sets aside 20% of the harvest during the good years. This disciplined stewardship meant survival when crisis hit.Back in 2006, I wrote an editorial drawing on this lesson, warning that the “years of plenty” could give way to economic trouble. Just two years later, the 2008–2009 Global Financial Crisis proved the point. Many of the underlying issues from that period—such as excessive debt and systemic risk—remain unresolved to this day.The Challenges We Face NowWhile I don't have the same sense of foreboding I felt in 2006, there are signs of stress in the global financial system:Runaway Debt – U.S. debt has risen from $10 trillion in 2008 to over $36 trillion today.Bigger Banks – Post-crisis reforms led to further consolidation, making the largest banks even larger.Central Bank Intervention – Years of near-zero interest rates and quantitative easing have encouraged dependence on stimulus.Political Division – Our political climate makes tackling systemic issues even more challenging.Preparing Personally for the Next StormWe can't control national or global problems, but we can prepare at a personal level. If you are in a “year of plenty,” now is the time to:Pay down debt and reduce obligations.Build an emergency fund to weather personal or economic downturns.Diversify investments, including assets that hold value in inflationary times—such as gold, real estate, commodities, or even small allocations to Bitcoin.Live below your means so you can give generously when needs arise.Financial Preparedness as Spiritual OpportunityPreparedness isn't just about protecting yourself—it's about positioning yourself to help others. Crises, whether national or personal, can open hearts to the gospel. If our finances are in order, we can respond like Joseph—meeting physical needs and sharing the spiritual hope found in Christ.If you're in a season of famine right now, don't lose heart. Trust God as your ultimate provider, take small steps forward, and connect with your church or community for support. Seasons change, and preparation now can mean you'll be ready when the next opportunity to serve—or survive—comes.For more on this topic, read the full editorial Years of Plenty, Years of Famine Revisited at SoundMindInvesting.org.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:I've owned a timeshare for years, but I think it's a bad investment. The maintenance fees are high, and I believe there are better vacation options. It will cost $2,000 to get out of it, but my wife likes it. How can I bring this up without hurting her feelings?In the Old Testament, tithing was clearly defined, but in the New Testament, Paul says giving should be something you decide in your heart. Some people tell me they give as they feel led—sometimes more, sometimes less.

This week I'm joined by writer and Guardian columnist Rhiannon Lucy Cosslett, whose popular column The Republic of Parenthood has now been turned into a book.Rhiannon and I talk about what it's really like to be raising children in 2025 – from the housing and childcare crises to the impact of climate change on everyday family life. She opens up about how motherhood has shifted her identity and creativity, and why she describes the experience as “soul-shifting".We also discuss how feminism looks different once you've had children, and why caring work should never be underestimated, plus the realities of breastfeeding in the UK – and why nuance, honesty and maternal mental health need to be central to the conversation.Buy Rhiannon's book The Republic of Parenthood - https://www.amazon.co.uk/Republic-Parenthood-Bringing-Up-Babies/dp/071565585XRead her Guardian columns - https://www.theguardian.com/profile/rhiannon-lucy-cosslettFollow her on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/rhiannonlucycosslett/If you enjoyed this episode then please leave a rating or review - and you can follow the podcast to ensure you don't miss future episodes.
