Podcast appearances and mentions of David Smith

Tuesday Headlines: Sydney Swans footballers involved in 'alleged incident' in Melbourne hotel Pauline Hanson’s plan for $21 cigarette packets American actress Hayden Panettiere has died at the age of 36 Coles and Woolworths test facial recognition technology to combat crime Ten Aussie YouTubers added to the National Film and Sound Archive Deep Dive: White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt is on her way out, marking the fifth high-profile woman gone from Donald Trump's second administration, though how they went varies. Her announcement landed days after news broke that Trump had been secretly moved off Air Force One leaving a NATO summit, fuelling an online theory that Leavitt walked after being stranded on a decoy plane. She wasn't even on the plane, or the trip - she was on maternity leave. In this episode of The Briefing, Chris Spyrou is joined by David Smith, Associate Professor at the United States Studies Centre at USYD to unpack why the theory took off - what it says about how Trump really runs the place, and whether any of this churn at the top actually reaches the voters who'll decide the midterms.

Do you need to be a qualified teacher to homeschool your child? No, and the clearest explanation of why comes from someone who trains new teachers. It is one of the questions we are frequently asked, and for a lot of families it is the one that stops them before they start. Ellen Brown puts it to Danielle McGregor, who covers what makes a good teacher, why parents consistently underrate what they already bring, and what to do on the days you have no idea what you are doing. Meet Danielle McGregor Danielle is Head of Educator Development. Her job is training teachers and giving them the skills and confidence to succeed. Her current work is with volunteer teachers who teach English to adult migrants and refugees. Consider what that asks of someone: teach a language to adults you have just met, who may share almost no words with you, with no relationship to draw on. If untrained volunteers can manage that, a parent teaching their own child is starting several steps ahead. You already have the relationship, the history, and years rather than a single term. She is not a schoolteacher and not a homeschooling parent, which is what makes her worth listening to here. She has no classroom to defend and nothing to sell you about home education, only years of watching untrained adults turn into good teachers. In the full episode she gets specific about what decides whether learning sticks: why watching an expert teaches your child almost nothing, the point most families stop at when they should keep going, and how far you are allowed to change the material in front of you. Key Discussion Points Formal training isn’t what makes a great teacher. Danielle has watched many great teachers arrive without it. You already bring more than you think. Your own experience of learning, your knowledge of your child, and the relationship you already have all come with you. Nobody knows your child the way you do. A specialist arriving from outside has to guess, and usually reaches for something generic. A child who feels safe learns more. Lower stress and freedom to make mistakes are what let a child stay in the hard part of learning. Skills outlast content. How to learn, think and adapt are transferable to everything. This is much more valuable than the content itself. Watching is not learning. Knowledge is unlikely to stick without practice and application. Adapting the material is expected, not cheating. Change the activity, keep the skill. Children engage more if they feel what they are learning is relevant to their life. Why a Teaching Qualification Isn’t What Makes a Good Teacher Ellen puts the hardest version of this to Danielle. A parent starts homeschooling, they did not finish Grade 11 and 12 themselves, and now they are responsible for a senior student. Danielle does not soften her answer. One thing I’ve observed is that formal training in education doesn’t necessarily produce a good teacher, and great teachers come without formal education.— Danielle McGregor Her point is not that training is worthless. It is that the qualification is not what makes the difference, and she says it as someone who develops teachers professionally. What she tells her volunteers is that they already carry most of what the job asks for: their experience, their knowledge, their personality. If you have ever learned anything yourself, a language, a trade, an instrument, a recipe, you already know what learning feels like from the inside, including the part where it is hard. In Episode 48, Euka parent David Smith describes the same belief from the other side, as the trap of assuming a trained teacher must be better at teaching your child than you are. What Do Parents Have That a Qualified Teacher Doesn’t? Danielle names three things, and a parent already holds all of them. You Know Your Child Better Than Any Specialist Nobody knows your children the way that you do. Nobody learns in the same way. And so someone coming in from the outside and offering them a cookie-cutter method is not going to work for everybody. But for your child, you know what will work.— Danielle McGregor You Have Time, and Permission to Get It Wrong A classroom teacher has a term and thirty children. You have years and one child, which means you do not have to get this right on day one. Danielle’s advice is to muddle through, work it out, and protect the relationship while you do, because the relationship itself feeds the learning. Why a Child Who Feels Safe Learns More When Ellen raises how much difference it makes for a child to feel loved and accepted, Danielle points out this is not sentiment. People learn best where stress is lower, where they feel accepted, and where they are free to make mistakes. That matters because real learning is uncomfortable. A great deal of it happens in the struggle, and a child will only stay in the struggle if they are certain the adult beside them is on their side. Why Teaching a Skill Matters More Than Covering Content This is the most practically useful stretch of the conversation, and it turns on a distinction Danielle uses constantly: covering content is not the same as teaching a skill. What we actually keep from a lifetime of learning, she argues, is not the content but the skill of learning itself. How to think, how to analyse, how to decide, how to notice what genuinely interests us. Those skills transfer. The content mostly does not. That is good news for a parent, because it moves the job away from knowing every answer. The Trumpet Lesson: Why Watching Isn’t Learning Imagine paying for a trumpet lesson where the teacher plays beautifully for the full hour while your child watches. Danielle would not pay that teacher to teach her child. The child has learned nothing, and often feels worse, because they cannot do what they just watched someone do effortlessly. Teaching well requires breaking down a task and guiding through the skills, with opportunity to practice and fail. The Cake Test: Four Depths of Learning Her second example lays out four depths of learning. Being told how to bake a cake teaches you a little. Watching someone bake it teaches you more. Baking it yourself, with an adult standing back as support rather than taking over, teaches you more again. Then comes the step most people skip: taking the recipe and changing it, turning the chocolate cake into the caramel one you actually wanted. The last step is what proves understanding. Following a recipe proves you can follow a recipe. Changing it proves you know how it works. The same trajectory applies whether the subject is baking or soccer. How This Maps to Learn, Practice and Apply Ellen connects this to how the Euka program is built, where each lesson moves through a Learn section, then moves into a practice section where they do something hands-on with the information. Then they go through and apply their learning. The temptation, especially for new homeschooling parents, can be to finish the Learn part and mark the lesson done. Danielle’s advice: you do need to impart information, but without the practice and the application it is very unlikely to stick. Episode 24 goes further into how learning actually sticks. Can You Change the Euka Program to Suit Your Child? Yes, and Danielle believes you should. Asked about teaching styles, she corrects the premise first. The old research saying we each have one fixed learning style has been largely debunked. Most of us like variety. What she offers instead is more useful. Know your own preferences well enough not to assume they are your child’s, and engage as many senses as you can. Then watch for the moment your child comes alive, and pay attention to what caused it. She also suggests an approach that works well beyond schoolwork. When something your child does irritates or surprises you, notice the reaction, then get curious about it rather than acting on it. This extends to the material itself, including Euka’s own. Nothing should be written to be used exactly as it is, she says, because no two learners are the same. Ellen makes it concrete. If a measurement activity asks your child to pour water between jugs and your child would rather bake, bake. The skill being applied has not changed. For parents who find that daunting, Danielle’s advice comes from her work with overwhelmed volunteers: break the task into its steps, slow down, and connect it to something in your child’s actual life. Episode 23 shows this working, where one mother lifted her dyslexic son’s reading level by rebuilding the material around his love of dogs. Why This Episode Matters If you have been putting off homeschooling because you are not a teacher, this episode removes that specific obstacle, and it does so from a highly credible source. Danielle’s work is evidence that untrained adults can teach well when they are given the right tools and support. It is worth being clear about the limits of that. Danielle is not promising it takes no effort, or that you will never feel out of your depth. Her view is: the qualification does not stand between you and doing this well. You are your child’s greatest advocate. And your love for them, your commitment to them, and your creativity, and all that you model to them, is a gift that you can give them.— Danielle McGregor More Support for Getting Started If you want to go further on the questions this episode raises, these are the places to start.

Episode 49, The Real Benefits of Homeschooling, where a Euka graduate answers the same question from a student’s point of view, and Episode 47, Preparing Your Children for the Real World. Answered Questions Real questions Australian parents ask about qualifications, confidence, and what homeschooling really requires. Do I need to be a qualified teacher to homeschool my child? + No. Many of the people Danielle trains arrive without the qualification and become good teachers anyway. The credential is not the variable that decides whether this works. Am I smart enough to homeschool my child? + Intelligence was never the requirement. It asks you to know your child, to learn beside them, and to stay patient while they find something hard. A qualification measures none of those. What if I didn’t finish school myself? + Have you ever taught yourself something, or stuck with something difficult until it clicked? That is the experience you draw on. Danielle’s point is that your schooling is not the qualification here, your memory of learning is. What if I don’t know the answer to something? + Say so, and look it up together. Ellen describes a long-time Euka parent who found this one of his most powerful teaching tools, because learning alongside your child models curiosity and shows them it is safe not to know. How do I know if my child is actually learning, or just getting through the work? + Look at what your child can do afterwards, not what they sat through. If they can use the skill somewhere new, it has landed. If the lesson ended at the explanation, expect it to fade. Do I have to follow the program exactly as written? + No. Danielle’s position is that material which cannot be adapted is not worth much. Keep the skill the activity is practising, and change everything around it to suit your child. What if I get it wrong? + Treat it as part of the teaching. Acknowledge it in front of your children and work out together why it did not go to plan, which models something more useful than getting it right first time.

I was so thrilled to sit down again with my dear friends and true allies, Dave Smith and Brad Johnson . Every time we connect, it feels like a warm reminder of what sustained, meaningful allyship really looks like—not just showing up when it's trending, but doing the steady, daily work that actually moves the needle.  Listening to them walk through their allyship trilogy, from Athena Rising to The Good Guys and now their latest book, Fair Share, brought back so many memories of my own journey navigating corporate America as a new mom. (Trust me, I've shed my fair share of tears over spilled milk in a workplace closet!) What I love most about Brad and Dave is how they balance deep research with practical, real-world solutions that lift everyone up. They remind us that creating gender fairness isn't just about asking individual allies to do more. It's about fixing the broken systems so doing the right thing becomes the default. Key Themes Caregiving Skills Build Better Workplace Leaders Active caregiving and fatherhood develop crucial human skills like empathy and emotional intelligence, which directly transfer into effective leadership at work. "Dad's brains begin to shift and change, too. We're developing these skills around empathy that translates right back into the workplace when we go back to work." — David Smith Moving from Individual Allyship to Systemic Change Relying solely on individual (s)heroics isn't enough to achieve true equity. Organizations must embed allyship and gender fairness directly into company policies, metrics, and manager training. "All of these ally efforts are gonna be sort of one by one by one forever. Until the workplace changes, you see all the estimates that we have about a century to go to get to real gender parity." — Brad Johnson Supporting Paid Leave and Caregiving Transitions Creating a culture that normalizes and actively plans for parental and caregiving leave for both mothers and fathers improves employee retention and strengthens managerial capabilities. "Think about the work that's gotta be done when he or she leaves the workforce for this paid leave period, the transition back into the workforce with a plan. The minute you can do that, you're making better managers." — David Smith Unlocking Hidden Talent Through Returnships Organizations facing talent shortages can tap into a massive, highly qualified pool of candidates by creating clear pathways for individuals returning to the workforce after extended caregiving breaks. "Organizations aren't looking at those women, and they're forgetting that. Half the people at the top of the curve on IQ, EQ, creativity, they're out there if you would only create a glide path to return to your organization." — Brad Johnson Actionable Takeaway for Listeners Audit and support your managerial capabilities: To move from individual efforts to systemic fairness, organizations must carefully select managers based on competencies and actively train them to execute flexible work policies, support parental leave transitions, and lead inclusively.

Organizational leaders are often under constant pressure to deliver simple solutions in the face of deeply complex challenges, with confidence and speed. You may experience this as a kind of "either/or" decision-making, a tension between doing things this way or that way. A leader pressured to decide quickly may miss insights that emerge from sitting with the tension within the paradox they face. Amidst these dynamics, can leaders hold the possibility of "both/and"? Our guest, Wendy Smith, suggests that moving beyond reductionist thinking requires embracing the interdependent tensions of paradox. She encourages us to shift our focus from making forced choices to discovering how opposing forces can reinforce one another. Cultivating "both/and" thinking is no longer a purely theoretical exercise; it is an essential, everyday capability needed to navigate the ambiguity of our changing world, disrupt transactional habits, and build courageous, thriving communities. Dr. Wendy K. Smith is an expert in organizational behavior whose research focuses on paradox theory and how leaders navigate competing demands to drive creative solutions. She is the co-author of Both/And Thinking: Embracing Creative Tensions to Solve Your Toughest Problems. Recognized as a Thinkers50 top global management thinker and one of the most cited researchers in her field, Dr. Smith is the Dana J. Johnson Professor of Management & Faculty Director of the Women's Leadership Initiative at the University of Delaware. She will serve as a Fellow at Harvard Business School for the 2026-27 academic year. This episode Challenges the pervasive demand for immediate clarity and rapid decision-making, demonstrating how rushing to resolve ambiguity can diminish both decision quality and human dignity. Unpacks the conceptual difference between a dilemma (a choice to be made) and a paradox (interdependent, synergistic tensions, such as stability vs. change or the abstract vs. the practical). Plays with the idea of "cauliflower living"—a deep integration where a strong global economy feeds the distinct, hyper-local traditions of communities, an example of "Both/And" thinking that revitalized Fogo Island, Newfoundland. Examines how unheld uncertainty breeds a social contagion of fear, proposing building a capacity for collective courage to hold interdependent tensions rather than retreating into polarized camps.

United States Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has said that the war on Iran is estimated to have cost about $37.5 billion so far, and has asked for twice that amount to continue fighting. This also comes as New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani calls on the US government to arrest Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netenyahu.Joining Ciara to discuss is David Smith, Washington Bureau Chief with The Guardian.

The Guardian's Washington Bureau Chief, David Smith analyses US President Donald Trump's overnight address.

David Smith explains his book “Wokicide,” arguing that “woke” (critical social justice theory rooted in critical theory and postmodernism) persists in universities and schools because education lacks quality control, not because of politics. He proposes applying ISO 9001 and HACCP-style quality assurance to K–12 and universities: validated curriculum specifications, independent expert panels, hazard analysis, audits (scheduled and targeted), corrective action, and continuous improvement. A central Workplace Improvement Notice (WIN) system would let staff and even parents file tracked complaints with guaranteed responses, replacing DEI/unconscious-bias training with “deprogramming” modules and prioritizing evidence and accountability. Smith says QA would stop unvalidated ideological drift and is affordable by redirecting existing DEI-related spending.00:00 Intro and Two-Part Talk00:58 Why Woke Persists01:30 Education Lacks QA02:10 Validation Over Ideology04:53 Defining Woke Origins06:35 From Civil Rights to Overreach07:43 Flawed Woke Reasoning10:02 How Woke Spreads11:16 Equity Outcomes and Activism13:33 Deconstruction Playbook17:50 Woke Hall of Fame21:39 Perfect Storm in Education25:42 QA Solution Framework27:41 ISO 9001 and HACCP29:42 Authority and Adoption30:55 Four Phases Implementation33:35 Validation and Hazard Analysis34:47 Audits Monitoring Corrective Action37:09 Aggressive Feedback Loops39:05 WIN Notice Explained41:41 Curriculum Content Validation43:12 Audits in K-12 Schools44:53 K-12 QA Wrap Up45:47 Universities as the Source47:29 University Validation Hurdles50:30 University Auditing Red Flags51:58 Objections and Pushback57:12 Failure Modes and Fixes59:39 Cost and Staffing Reality01:02:08 Closing Q&A and Next StepsAmazon Kindle version: Wokicide: Pest Control for Education: https://a.co/d/0d0YeApM========Slides, summaries, references, and transcripts of my podcasts: https://tomn.substack.com/p/podcast-summariesMy Linktree: https://linktr.ee/tomanelson1

For years, conversations about gender equity at work have been framed as a women's issue. But what if that's the wrong conversation entirely? What if the real challenge isn't fixing women so they can survive outdated systems—but fixing the systems themselves? In this episode, Nicole sits down with Dr. David Smith and Dr. Brad Johnson, co-authors of Fair Share: How Men and Women Can Create a More Equitable Workplace Together, to unpack what true gender fairness looks like in today's workplace. Together, they explore why gender equity benefits everyone, how outdated workplace norms are hurting both women and men, and what leaders can do to create workplaces where people can thrive professionally and personally. This conversation challenges zero-sum thinking, dismantles harmful workplace myths, and offers practical strategies for building more equitable organizations—without pitting one gender against another. In This Episode We Discuss: What gender fairness actually means—and why it's not the same as treating everyone exactly the same Why gender equity benefits men, women, organizations, and families The myth that gender fairness requires men to lose in order for women to win Why workplace equity is a leadership responsibility, not a women's initiative How caregiving expectations impact career advancement for both women and men Why flexibility, caregiving support, and pay transparency matter The role leaders play in creating inclusive and equitable workplaces Gender fairness isn't about giving one group an advantage—it's about creating workplaces that reflect how people actually live, work, lead, and care today. When organizations stop trying to fix individuals and start fixing outdated systems, everyone benefits. Thank you to our sponsors!

Monaco Explosion Injures Three A blast from an explosive device has seriously injured three people at a residential building in Monaco. Authorities said the attacker fled to neighboring France. Monaco officials say the explosion occurred around 9 p.m. at the entryway (入口通道) of a residence near the French border, injuring two adults and a child who were taken to hospitals in France. French and Ukrainian media reported that a Ukrainian construction tycoon and his family were those injured. One of the reports says he was targeted by Ukrainian sanctions in 2023 for ties to Russia. French and Monaco authorities are searching for the attacker, whose motive is under investigation. SUPREME COURT REFUSES TO HEAR** TRUMP'S APPEAL AGAINST E. JEAN CARROLL SEXUAL** ABUSE VERDICT The United States Supreme Court has refused to hear US President Donald Trump's appeal against a jury finding that he sexually abused and defamed (誹謗) the writer E. Jean Carroll, leaving a five-million-dollar civil judgment intact. None of the nine justices — including three appointed by President Trump himself — issued a written dissent, and Carroll's lawyer said the ruling ends the president's effort to avoid accountability. President Trump responded on his Truth Social platform, calling the case fake and vowing to continue fighting what he described as lawfare. David Smith, Washington Bureau Chief for The Guardian, says the ruling will shape how history regards the president. That was the I.C.R.T.

The traditional workplace model, designed in the twentieth century, no longer serves the realities of contemporary life. W. Brad Johnson and David Smith, two former Navy officers turned leading researchers on workplace gender equity, have spent decades studying what actually makes organizations thrive. Their journey from military service to academia reveals that the most pressing business challenge of our time is not technological innovation or market disruption, but rather the fundamental misalignment between how we structure work and how people actually live their lives. Brad and David's research has evolved significantly over their careers. They began by studying mentoring relationships and how men could become better mentors for women, then shifted to examining public allyship and holding men accountable for gender fairness. However, their most transformative insight came when they realized that without changing the fundamental structures of work itself, individual efforts could only go so far. They discovered that most people today live in dual-earner, dual-career families, yet workplaces continue operating as though employees have no caregiving responsibilities. They emphasize that this is not merely a women's issue or a diversity initiative, but rather a fundamental question of organizational design and leadership courage. Organizations must create psychological safety where employees can be honest about their caregiving responsibilities and their needs. They must embrace role modeling from senior leaders who openly discuss their own caregiving challenges and demonstrate that it is possible to be both a committed caregiver and a high-performing professional.

Some Christian authors describe fasting as the most feared and misunderstood discipline, and perhaps the least practiced in the Christian church. Why? What stops Christians from fasting?Listen in as James walks us through a definition of Christian fasting as well as why and how to engage in fasting as parents. Like all spiritual disciplines or ordinary means of God's grace, through fasting, Christians engage Scriptural patterns with the aim to become more like Jesus.1 Tim. 4:7-10. “[Discipline] yourself for godliness; for while bodily training is of some value, godliness is of value in every way, as it holds promise for the present life and also for the life to come . . . because we have our hope set on the living God, who is the Savior of all people, especially of those who believe.”“There is no virtue in fallen man by which he can make himself more godly; thereis, however, virtue in the divinely appointed means of grace. If we, by the powerof the Holy Spirit, mortify the deeds of the body (through fasting), we shall growin grace, but the glory of such change will be God's alone.” David Smith.John Calvin: “since fasting is a holy exercise both for the humbling ofmen and for their confession of humility why should we use it less thanthe ancients did in similar need?”
