He challenges materialistic assumptions, urging a re-evaluation of life's origins through rigorous scientific reasoning.Stephen analyses the shortcomings of evolutionary theory, explores the Cambrian explosion, and addresses the problem of evil, offering a rational case for theism grounded in modern scientific discoveries.Stephen C. Meyer, PhD, is a philosopher of science, the director of the Center for Science and Culture at the Discovery Institute, and the author of several books, including "Darwin's Doubt: The Explosive Origin of Animal Life and the Case for Intelligent Design," and "The Return of the God Hypothesis."

What if a restaurant wasn't a business—but a way to rebuild a broken city?That's how Robért LeBlanc saw it after Hurricane Katrina. He didn't just open a venue—he created a space to reconnect a fractured community. In this episode, we go deep on how Robért has used hospitality to heal, unite, and inspire. From the ethos behind his post-Katrina nightclub to the values driving his now 350-person company, Robért shares how storytelling, humility, and a culture of ownership have become his ultimate competitive edge. We talk about failure, course correction, and what it really takes to build a team that gives a damn.This isn't just about restaurants. It's about using our work to serve something bigger and why that's never been more urgent.To learn more about his work, visit leblancandsmith.com.____________________________________________________________Free 5-Day Restaurant Marketing Masterclass – This is a live training where you'll learn the exact campaigns Josh has built and tested in real restaurants to attract new guests, increase visit frequency, and generate sales on demand.

Nick Gillespie joins Doug Stuart to trace his path from Catholic kid in an immigrant family to a postmodern libertarian—and why that journey made him bullish on freedom of movement and a more “mongrel” America. We talk through the Ellis Island frame for sane, humane immigration, why “build a wall around the welfare state” is the sharper rejoinder, and how Catholic parish life (and Roger Williams) shaped Nick's instinct for pluralism and tolerance.We also unpack what he means by “postmodern libertarianism” in plain terms: be humble about what we can know, be wary of top-down fixes, and trust bottom-up problem-solving. Hayek meets Foucault without the jargon. From there we hit the “paradox of choice” debate (yes, 45 deodorants can be a feature), how pop culture shapes the way people find meaning, and where the liberty movement is actually headed right now.In this episode:Immigration as freedom to move and belongEllis Island as a practical path to legal, open channels“Wall off the welfare state,” not the countryCatholic roots, Roger Williams, and the case for pluralismPostmodern libertarianism without the buzzwordsChoice vs. control, and learning to satisficeThe current liberty landscape: what's breaking, what's buildingShow Notes:Find Nick on ReasonAudio Production by Podsworth Media - https://podsworth.com ★ Support this podcast ★

This week on Sinica, I'm delighted to be joined by Dan Wang, formerly of Gavekal Dragonomics and the Paul Tsai Law Center at Yale University, now with the Hoover Institute's History Lab. Dan's new book is Breakneck: China's Quest to Engineer the Future, and it's already one of the year's most talked-about books. In this conversation, we go beyond what's actually in the book to discuss the origins and implications of the Chinese "engineering state" — the world's biggest technocratic polity — and what the United States should and should not learn from China. We discuss how Dan's ideas sit with Abundance by Derek Thompson and Ezra Klein, and much more.

Benoit Berthoux on the opportunities and risks of founding a startup in the age of AIIn early 2023 Benoit Berthoux saw that generative AI was expanding possibilities for how people work. Benoit wanted to develop a tool that implemented seamlessly into their workflows instead of adding yet another tool. From this Mindy was born, helping people harness the benefits of generative AI without having to become prompt engineers. This week on Catalyst, Benoit joins Tammy to talk about how the newest technology is being used to meet users where they're at. They discuss the promise of new tech and the rise of creative startups. They also discuss some of the challenges of operating a startup right now - namely that things are moving so fast it can be hard to keep up.

Choose love over fear. It's more than a feel-good mantra. It's a radical leadership choice that can transform teams, ignite innovation, and turn crisis into opportunity. Washington Speakers Bureau President Ryan Heil has built his career proving that love, not fear, is the real competitive advantage in business and life. In this episode of Reflect Forward: Advice for Leaders, I sit down with Ryan to unpack how this philosophy has shaped his journey from professional baseball to earning a PhD in organizational culture, co-authoring Choose Love Not Fear with his father, and leading a major turnaround at one of the most influential organizations in the speaking industry. We explore why choosing love over fear creates stronger teams, deeper trust, and cultures that can adapt to disruption—plus how Ryan and his team navigated the pandemic's devastating impact on the speaking industry to emerge stronger than ever. Key Takeaways: • Love is a leadership strategy – Choosing love over fear builds trust, engagement, and sustainable performance. • Fear-based leadership fails in the long run – It may get short-term compliance, but it erodes creativity, passion, and loyalty. • Creative abrasion fuels innovation – Healthy conflict, when guided with respect, produces better ideas and stronger solutions. • Culture change starts one belief at a time – Turnarounds require relentless clarity on values, vision, and “why.” • Relationships are the real currency – They outlast trends, technologies, and even market disruptions. • Crisis is a catalyst for reinvention – Use uncertainty to question old assumptions and build better ways forward. • Your team may not always love you back – But consistent, steady leadership earns respect and trust over time. Mic Drop Moments: • “It's easy to lead with fear. But fear makes us dumber. Love unleashes human potential.” • “We don't have speaker contracts—we have handshakes. Integrity is the glue that holds our relationships together.” • “Success is temporary. So is failure. The real skill is knowing how to pivot fast.” • “AI can recommend a speaker, but it can't tell you who will stay after the keynote to shake every hand.” • “Love your team even when they don't love you back. That's leadership.” Connect with Ryan: • Connect with Ryan on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ryanmheil/ • Learn more about Washington Speakers Bureau: https://www.wsb.com/ • Get the book Choose Love Not Fear: https://www.amazon.com/Choose-Love-Not-Fear-Engagement/dp/1734105135 Connect with Kerry Don't forget to subscribe to Reflect Forward on your favorite podcast platform or YouTube.

We talk a lot about HR best practices — recruiting, comp and benefits, org design, engagement. But too often, leaders miss the real heartbeat of culture: the operating rhythms. These are the daily patterns, principles, and unwritten rules that shape how work actually gets done — from the C-Suite down to your strongest individual contributors.In this episode, I break down why CHROs and culture leaders should shift focus from policies to operating models, and how to run meaningful retrospectives that spotlight what's working before you tackle what's broken. We'll explore the questions leaders should ask across four layers — executives, directors, managers, and ICs — to uncover the rituals, workflows, and feedback loops that make teams thrive (or stall).If you've ever wondered how to connect culture to scale, or how to move beyond “HR activities” into the true operating DNA of your company, this conversation is for you.
